In the 21st century, it’s even more influential — the devices that we carry around with us act not only as phones but as endless sources of mind-numbing entertainment. Researchers at the University of Sussex investigated over 2,000 people on how they spend their free time. Listening to music for pleasure topped the joy index, receiving an average joy score of 6.16 out of 7, followed by playing a musical instrument (6.04), reading books (6.00), crafting (5.92) and volunteering (5.84). Sport, theatre, painting, and writing all ranked above 5.7 in the study. Scrolling (刷屏) social media ranked “rock bottom” for joy (5.19) — and top for time spent. So, how can you fight back? Break the cycle Endless scroll, autoplay and highly personalised feeds remove natural stopping points. By setting app limits in your phone’s settings, or by downloading a specific blocking app like Screen Zen, you can break the cycle — reminding yourself to stop before hours pass. Take up other hobbies Spare time for activities that ranked highest for joy is important for mental health. Social media scrolling is consuming time that could be spent on far healthier pursuits. Don’t beat yourself up It’s easy to get addicted to scrolling because the content is designed to keep our eyes on it. If you struggle to switch off, it’s not your fault. If you do manage it, well done: you’re fighting back against a model that is “stealing” your joy. 1. Which of the following takes up the most time in the research? A. Listening to music. B. Reading books. C. Scrolling social media. D. Volunteering. 2. What is suggested to break the cycle in the passage? A. Getting an app blocker. B. Deleting your social media. C. Getting away from the phone. D. Building up your strength. 3. Why is it hard to break away from scrolling? A. People lack purpose in their lives. B. Scrolling takes little mental effort. C. Connections are hard to maintain offline. D. The feeds are built to keep people engaged. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项研究表明刷社交媒体耗时最多但带来的快乐感最低，分析了其原因，并给出了实用建议来帮助人们夺回时间和快乐。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scrolling (刷屏) social media ranked “rock bottom” for joy (5.19) — and top for time spent. (刷社交媒体在“快乐指数”上排名“垫底”（5.19分）——但在时间花费上却排名第一。)”可知，在该研究中，花费时间最多的活动是刷社交媒体。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Break the cycle部分的“By setting app limits in your phone’s settings, or by downloading a specific blocking app like Screen Zen, you can break the cycle (通过在手机设置中设定应用使用限制，或者下载一个像Screen Zen这样的特定拦截应用，你就可以打破这个循环)”可知，文章建议通过获取一个应用拦截器来打破循环。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Don’t beat yourself up部分的“It’s easy to get addicted to scrolling because the content is designed to keep our eyes on it. (人们很容易沉迷于刷屏，因为内容的设计就是为了吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，难以停止刷屏的原因是社交媒体信息流的设计就是为了让人们持续参与。 B Sitting on the sofa, I started checking on my phone. It was the winter of 2017 and my best friend Jacob, 25, who I lived with, was getting on my nerves, and I on his. I need a hobby to get me out of the house. On Facebook, I came across a beginners’ course for underwater rugby which gained appeal as a means of developing teamwork through non-verbal (非语言的) communication. I’d always loved the water, so I went along. I was greeted by an enthusiastic coach Bobby. He got me swimming lengths on the surface, then from the top to the bottom. On the other side of the pool, advanced players were having a session. That they scored goals underwater got me excited. Within weeks, I was playing matches. The sport was played in 3D, meaning you could pass the ball in any direction, even up and down, and opponents could come at you from anywhere. Tackles involved grabbing hold of someone to slow them down and trying to get the ball off them. Often, I’d be so engaged that I wouldn’t think about my breathing until I’d pushed myself too far. I’d then rapidly make my way to the surface for breath, hoping my teammates had taken possession. With each game, my lung capacity increased until I could hold my breath for a full minute while playing. We formed a team called the Raiders, and in November we went to Berlin to compete against teams from other countries. It was the first Australian men’s team and although we came second-last, we had so much fun. My teammates have become close friends. “I want to try it,” Jacob said when he saw how many new friends I had. The classes were inclusive for all levels, and he picked it up as he went. He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. There are now hundreds of people playing underwater rugby around Australia, ranging in age from 17 into their late 50s. So I encourage anyone who can to give it a try. 4. Why did the author want to find a hobby? A. To enrich his spare time. B. To reduce the academic stress. C. To ease tension with his roommate. D. To improve his physical fitness. 5. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The process of participation. B. The training techniques. C. The interaction with the coach. D. The fruits of hard work. 6. How does the author benefit from the experience? A. Landing a high-paying job. B. Learning to avoid team conflicts. C. Winning the international championship. D. Enhancing physical fitness and social bonds. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. A good talk clears the air. B. A relaxing hobby eases the mind. C. A small sport makes a big difference. D. A team sport fuels the competitive spirit. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者为缓解与室友的紧张关系而尝试水下橄榄球这项小众运动，并在过程中提升了身体素质、结交了亲密朋友、改善了与室友的关系，这项运动也在当地发展起来。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was the winter of 2017 and my best friend Jacob, 25, who I lived with, was getting on my nerves, and I on his. I need a hobby to get me out of the house. (那是2017年冬天，和我住在一起的最好的朋友，25岁的Jacob，让我心烦，我也让他心烦。我需要一个爱好让我走出家门。)”可知，作者想找一个爱好是为了缓解与室友的紧张关系。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Within weeks, I was playing matches. The sport was played in 3D... Tackles involved... Often, I’d be so engaged... I’d then rapidly make my way to the surface for breath... (几周内，我就开始打比赛了。这项运动是三维的……抢截包括……我常常如此投入……然后我会迅速浮到水面呼吸……)”可知，本段详细叙述了作者从开始比赛到沉浸其中的完整经历，主要内容是其参与水下橄榄球的过程。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“With each game, my lung capacity increased until I could hold my breath for a full minute while playing. (每次比赛，我的肺活量都会增加，直到我可以在比赛时屏住呼吸一分钟。)”和“My teammates have become close friends. (我的队友们已经成为了亲密的朋友。)”和最后一段中“He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. (他喜欢它，而且因为我们都经常出门，我们不再让对方心烦。)”可知，作者从这段经历中获益，体现在增强了身体素质和加强了社会联系。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“I need a hobby to get me out of the house. (我需要一个爱好让我走出家门。)”和最后一段中“He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. (他喜欢它，而且因为我们都经常出门，我们不再让对方心烦。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者因与室友关系紧张而尝试了水下橄榄球这个小众运动，这项运动改善了他的健康、社交，修复了他与室友的关系，给他的个人生活带来了积极而巨大的改变。因此，我们从文章中可以学到“一项小众的运动可以带来巨大的改变”。 C Four thousand meters beneath the ocean’s surface lies a world of darkness, near-freezing temperatures and pressure 400 times higher than at sea level. In this quiet, remote environment, the wide seafloor is dotted with rare-earth metals. These metals grow at a rate of 1.5cm per million years and support unique and delicate deep-sea life. And yet, this is where deep-sea miners intend to send giant machines to mine metals used in mobile phones, EV batteries and other technologies. Their activities are the focus of urgent debate as the industry presses for licenses, regardless of serious concern. Mining is destructive but at these depths it would be disastrous. Heavy equipment clears the seafloor and destroys its marine life, in the process removing the hard surfaces which are essential for deep-sea creatures. Seabed recovery will take centuries to millions of years. The damage extends far beyond and it’s hard to predict the severity of the destruction. Even supporters have no credible plans for recovery. Monitoring and regulating mining in remote, extreme environments will be far harder than on land. More fundamentally, we haven’t answered whether deep-sea mining is even necessary. When risks are high, the benefits are questionable and science is uncertain, why go ahead? In fields such as medicine and engineering, we don’t act when the potential for permanent harm outweighs our knowledge. Deep-sea mining should follow that same logic. This warning led New Caledonia to ban deep-sea mining for 50 years and the increasing number of countries, organizations, and scientists calling for a suspension or permanent ban in both national and international waters. Science and our history tell us that if deep-sea mining proceeds, short-term corporate winners will leave a burden of loss paid for by others: a millions-of-years-in-the-making ecosystem and human generations for millennia to come. Caution tells us to say no to deep-sea mining and instead innovate in how to generate the metals we need more safely. 8. What leads to the heated argument? A. The severe under-sea pollution. B. The push for deep-sea mining. C. Great demand for mobile phones. D. The uncertainty of the seafloor formation. 9. What does the author stress about deep-sea mining in paragraph 2? A. Its economic cost. B. Its unpredictable risks. C. Its technological advances. D. Its global influence. 10. Why does the author mention medicine and engineering in paragraph 3? A. To support the ban on deep-sea mining. B. To provide evidence for deep-sea mining risks. C. To show the negative impact of deep-sea mining. D. To help understand the prospects of deep-sea mining. 11. Which of the following best describes the deep-sea mining according to the passage? A. What’s done is done. B. Big waves sink small boats. C. Today’s greed, tomorrow’s debt. D. Short efforts, long benefits. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章反对深海采矿，阐述其巨大危害，呼吁暂缓并禁止此类开采行为。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“And yet, this is where deep-sea miners intend to send giant machines to mine metals…Their activities are the focus of urgent debate as the industry presses for licenses, regardless of serious concern. (然而，深海采矿者却打算在此投放大型机械，开采用于制造手机、电动汽车电池及其他科技产品的金属矿产。该行业不顾各界强烈担忧，极力争取开采许可，其相关行为也引发了激烈热议。)”可知，导致激烈争论的原因是深海采矿的推进。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Mining is destructive but at these depths it would be disastrous. (采矿具有破坏性，但在这样的深海进行采矿则将是灾难性的。)”及“The damage extends far beyond and it’s hard to predict the severity of the destruction. Even supporters have no credible plans for recovery. (破坏的影响远不止于此，而且很难预测破坏的严重程度。即使是支持者也没有可靠的恢复计划。)”可知，作者在第二段强调了深海采矿不可预测的风险。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When risks are high, the benefits are questionable and science is uncertain, why go ahead? In fields such as medicine and engineering, we don’t act when the potential for permanent harm outweighs our knowledge. Deep-sea mining should follow that same logic. (当风险很高、收益存疑且科学尚不确定时，为什么要继续推进？在医学和工程等领域，当潜在的永久性伤害超出我们的认知范围时，我们就不会采取行动。深海采矿也应遵循同样的逻辑。)”可知，作者提到医学和工程是为了支持禁止深海采矿。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Science and our history tell us that if deep-sea mining proceeds, short-term corporate winners will leave a burden of loss paid for by others: a millions-of-years-in-the-making ecosystem and human generations for millennia to come. (科学和历史告诉我们，如果深海采矿继续进行下去，短期的企业赢家将留下一笔由他人来承受的损失负担：一个是历经数百万年才形成的生态系统，以及未来数千年的人类世代。)”可知，文章指出深海采矿只为短期利益，却会给后世留下长久生态隐患，选项C“Today’s greed, tomorrow’s debt. (今日的贪婪，明日的债务。)”最能描述深海采矿。 D We dream every night. Some mornings, we recall vivid details, and other days, we can’t. But what about color? Do most people dream in color or in black and white? Some people may be surprised to learn that this has proved a divisive question. Modern research has indicated that television and films have a lot to do with how we experience dreaming and what we can remember when we wake up. “Since we’re used to colored media, we think dreams must be kind of like watching a movie or watching something on YouTube,” Eric Schwitzgebel, a professor at the University of California told Live Science. But that hasn’t always been the case. Up until the 1960s, researchers thought people largely dreamed without color, and surveys have backed this hypothesis. A small study of 277 people published in 1942 found that 70.7% of the college students surveyed rarely or never saw colors in their dreams. Nearly 60 years later, Schwitzgebel asked a group of 124 college students the same questions-and the results had shifted drastically. Less than 20% of the students surveyed reported rarely or never seeing colors in their dreams. Other recent studies have produced similar results. This suggests that the way we interpret our dreams is affected by the types of media we consume. But entertainment isn’t the only factor. Much of what we take away from our nightly dreams has to do with how accurately we remember. Just as in waking life, we tend to forget colors that match our expectations, but we’re more likely to recall ones that hold personal significance. But Schwitzgebel argues that the question of whether we dream in black and white or color could be a bit problematic in the first place. Our mental image might not be in black and white or in color; it may just be a foggy “indeterminate” image. Or perhaps what we remember in the morning is slightly different from the mental image we had while dreaming, informed more by assumptions than memory. Dreams might be less of a visual movie. It’s possible our media consumption affects how we remember our dreams. 12. What is the finding of modern research mainly about? A. The long-term effects of watching TV. B. A comparison between different dreams. C. The reason why people dream in black and white. D. The link between media exposure and dream colors. 13. The underlined word “hypothesis” in paragraph 2 refers to the idea that _________. A. people see colors in their dreams B. people dream in white and black C. people forget the content of dreams D. people recall dreams like watching videos 14. What colors in dreams are easily remembered? A. Colors commonly seen in waking life. B. Colors that matter to people personally. C. Colors that match people’s expectation. D. Colors connected with social convention. 15. What does Schwitzgebel think of the research? A. Its finding is reliable. B. Its sample is sufficient. C. It lacks scientific evidence. D. Its core question is misguided. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了媒体接触与人们梦境颜色之间的联系及影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Modern research has indicated that television and films have a lot to do with how we experience dreaming and what we can remember when we wake up. (现代研究表明，电视和电影与我们如何体验梦境以及醒来后能记住什么有很大关系。)”可知，现代研究发现媒体接触（如电视、电影）与梦境颜色之间存在联系。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Up until the 1960s, researchers thought people largely dreamed without color (直到20世纪60年代，研究人员认为人们做梦基本上是没有颜色的)”以及“A small study of 277 people published in 1942 found that 70.7% of the college students surveyed rarely or never saw colors in their dreams. (1942年发表的一项对277人的小规模研究发现，70.7%的受访大学生很少或从未在梦中看到颜色。)”可知，直到20世纪60年代，研究人员认为人们做梦基本上是没有颜色的，并且1942年的一项研究也支持了这个观点，所以hypothesis指的是“人们做梦是黑白的”这个观点。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Just as in waking life, we tend to forget colors that match our expectations, but we’re more likely to recall ones that hold personal significance. (就像在清醒的生活中一样，我们往往会忘记那些符合我们期望的颜色，但我们更有可能记住那些对个人有重要意义的颜色。)”可知，梦中对个人有重要意义的颜色容易被记住。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But Schwitzgebel argues that the question of whether we dream in black and white or color could be a bit problematic in the first place. Our mental image might not be in black and white or in color; it may just be a foggy “indeterminate” image. Or perhaps what we remember in the morning is slightly different from the mental image we had while dreaming, informed more by assumptions than memory. Dreams might be less of a visual movie. It’s possible our media consumption affects how we remember our dreams. (但施维茨格贝尔认为，我们做梦是黑白的还是彩色的这个问题，首先可能有点问题。我们的心理图像可能不是黑白的或彩色的；它可能只是一个模糊的“不确定”图像。又或者，我们早上记住的内容与做梦时的心理意象略有不同，更多是由主观推测而非记忆本身所决定的。梦境可能不那么像一部视觉化的电影。我们接触的媒体内容很可能影响了我们如何记住自己的梦。)”可知，施维茨格贝尔认为研究的核心问题有误导性。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People believed purpose was important, but most had spent years trying to define it and felt blocked. They had no idea what purpose looked like. After countless research, I came to a crucial realization: You don’t find purpose — you build it. But building it isn’t random. ____16____ I call these purpose anchors (锚). There are many ways to uncover purpose anchors, but I turn to a method I call the Spaghetti Method. It’s simple and practical: If you don’t know what moves you, try a series of small experiments. ____17____ Maybe you go on a hike with a new friend. Leap into the unknown. The goal isn’t comfort. It’s exposure. Each new experience is an opportunity to discover something that arouses interest or joy. ____18____ Spend a day fully engaged in a new activity. At the end of the day, reflect with a few simple questions: Did I learn something new that excites me? Would I enjoy doing this again tomorrow, next week, or next month? The brilliance of the Spaghetti Method is in lowering the pressure. If you enjoy the activity, it could become a purpose anchor. Your Purpose is built around these anchors intentionally. The Spaghetti Method transforms action from stressful to manageable. ____19____ By testing, reflecting, and repeating, you start to uncover the activities that consistently bring meaning to your life. So stop searching and start experimenting. ____20____ Your purpose anchors are waiting, and the first one might be just around the corner. A. Finding purpose often feels stressful. B. They are the activities that light curiosity. C. You start by discovering what lights you up. D. I suggest committing to some mini-experiments each month. E. In practice, this means taking up things you don’t normally do. F. It replaces frustration with experimentation, and theory with experience. G. Let life guide you through the spaghetti: messy, varied, and full of surprises. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要阐述人生目标要主动打造，介绍意面法帮人们确立人生目标。 【16题详解】 上文“You don’t find purpose — you build it. But building it isn’t random. (你不是找到目标——而是构建它。但构建它不是随机的)”说明建立目标是有方法的，不是随机的，下文“I call these purpose anchors. (我称这些为目标之锚)”说明构建目标有特定的依据，空处承上启下，解释这些依据是什么，B选项“它们是激发好奇心的活动”衔接上下文，符合语境。 【17题详解】 上文“If you don’t know what moves you, try a series of small experiments. (如果你不知道什么能打动你，那就尝试一系列小实验)”说明可以通过小实验来找到能打动自己的东西，下文“Maybe you go on a hike with a new friend. Leap into the unknown. (也许你和一位新朋友去远足。跃入未知)”列举具体尝试事例，E选项“实际上，这意味着要尝试一些你通常不做的事情”承接上文，引出具体做法。 【18题详解】 下文“Spend a day fully engaged in a new activity. At the end of the day, reflect with a few simple questions: Did I learn something new that excites me? Would I enjoy doing this again tomorrow, next week, or next month? (花一整天时间全身心投入一项新活动。在一天结束时，通过几个简单的问题来反思：我学到了什么让我兴奋的新东西吗？我明天、下周或下个月还愿意再做这件事吗？)”说明要通过实际行动来找到自己的目标，空处应总述相关做法，D选项“我建议每个月都做一些小实验”总领下文内容，符合语境。 【19题详解】 上文“The Spaghetti Method transforms action from stressful to manageable. (意大利面方法将行动从有压力的转变为可管理的)”说明意大利面方法可以让行动变得更容易管理，F选项“它用实验代替沮丧，用经验代替理论”进一步解释了意大利面方法的优点。 【20题详解】 上文“So stop searching and start experimenting. (所以，停止寻找，开始实验吧)”说明要停止无谓的寻找，开始通过实验来找到自己的目标，下文“Your purpose anchors are waiting, and the first one might be just around the corner.(你的目标之锚正在等待，第一个可能就在眼前)”点明目标锚点就在身边，G选项“让生活引导你穿越意大利面般的生活：杂乱无章、丰富多彩、充满惊喜”鼓励读者通过生活实践去探索，呼应主旨收束全文，且“spaghetti”与上文提到的“Spaghetti Method”相呼应。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My dad and I were at a grocery store late in the evening.

Our belongings would be moved by truck and ship. I, however, was flying between islands. With me came my two beloved pets in their own carriers: Blanca, a quiet ten-year-old cat, and Carusoa, a lively parrot. At the airport, sitting near the big windows and watching planes take off and land, I caught the attention of a friendly older lady sitting nearby. She smiled at me as I gently cleaned the two carriers for my pets. “Going far?” she asked warmly. “To El Hierro,” I replied. “I’m moving there. New job, new home and new life.” “Oh, El Hierro is peaceful. I’m just off to travel around the islands for a few weeks,” she added, “I’m Lisa.” Lisa smiled toward the cat carrier where Blanca slept soundly. “You’re taking your pets with you.” I gently touched the carrier. “Blanca is ten years old. She’s been with me through thick and thin. And Carusoa — “just then Carusoa let out a cheerful chirp (唧唧), making everyone laugh. “He’s my morning sunshine. Leaving them behind was never an option.” Lisa nodded understandingly and shared a story about her own cat, who had passed away the year before. “They’re not just pets,” she said softly. “They’re family.” When our flight was called, we headed to the check-in counter. The check-in agent shook her head firmly and informed me that a passenger could only take one pet into the cabin. That meant I should put one in cargo (货物) hold. Knowing the cargo hold was dark and cold and many animals got very frightened, I hesitated. I looked at my two carriers. Blanca was old. The thought of leaving her alone in that dark space made my chest tighten. And Carusoa was small and delicate. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lost in anxiety, I didn’t know what to do. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I walked to the gate, worried about whether Blanca would be OK with Lisa. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Lost in anxiety, I didn’t know what to do. Just then, Lisa walked over, noticing my distress. She gently patted my arm and said, “I can help you take Blanca with me. I’ll look after her carefully during the flight and hand her over to you as soon as we land.” I was touched deeply, tears welling up in my eyes. I thanked her repeatedly, carefully handing Blanca’s carrier to her. Lisa promised to keep Blanca comfortable and check on her now and then, calming my worries a little. I walked to the gate, worried about whether Blanca would be OK with Lisa. I kept looking back at Lisa, who was holding Blanca’s carrier gently and talking softly to her. When boarding, I waved to Lisa, and she smiled and nodded, showing me Blanca was still sleeping soundly. During the flight, I couldn’t stop thinking about them. As soon as we landed, I rushed to find Lisa. Blanca was safe and calm, and Carusoa chirped happily when he saw her. I thanked Lisa again — her kindness made my new life start with warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者带着两只宠物搬家时，在机场遇到一位友善的女士Lisa，因航空公司规定只能带一只宠物进客舱，作者陷入困境，Lisa主动提出帮忙照顾猫直到航班降落的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者陷入焦虑，不知如何是好，这时Lisa主动提出帮忙照顾猫，作者深受感动，将猫的笼子交给她。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写作者走向登机口，担心猫和Lisa在一起是否安好，下飞机后，作者发现猫安然无恙，鹦鹉看到猫也很高兴，作者再次感谢Lisa，她的善意让作者的新生活充满了温暖。。 2.续写线索：陷入焦虑——Lisa主动帮忙——作者深受感动——走向登机口——担心猫的安危——猫安然无恙——鹦鹉很高兴——再次感谢Lisa——新生活充满温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走过来：walk over/come over/approach ②匆忙赶往：rush to/hurry to/dash to 情绪类 ①难过：distress/sorrow ②深受触动：be touched deeply/be greatly moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】I kept looking back at Lisa, who was holding Blanca’s carrier gently and talking softly to her.

In the 21st century, it’s even more influential — the devices that we carry around with us act not only as phones but as endless sources of mind-numbing entertainment. Researchers at the University of Sussex investigated over 2,000 people on how they spend their free time. Listening to music for pleasure topped the joy index, receiving an average joy score of 6.16 out of 7, followed by playing a musical instrument (6.04), reading books (6.00), crafting (5.92) and volunteering (5.84). Sport, theatre, painting, and writing all ranked above 5.7 in the study. Scrolling (刷屏) social media ranked “rock bottom” for joy (5.19) — and top for time spent. So, how can you fight back? Break the cycle Endless scroll, autoplay and highly personalised feeds remove natural stopping points. By setting app limits in your phone’s settings, or by downloading a specific blocking app like Screen Zen, you can break the cycle — reminding yourself to stop before hours pass. Take up other hobbies Spare time for activities that ranked highest for joy is important for mental health. Social media scrolling is consuming time that could be spent on far healthier pursuits. Don’t beat yourself up It’s easy to get addicted to scrolling because the content is designed to keep our eyes on it. If you struggle to switch off, it’s not your fault. If you do manage it, well done: you’re fighting back against a model that is “stealing” your joy. 1. Which of the following takes up the most time in the research? A. Listening to music. B. Reading books. C. Scrolling social media. D. Volunteering. 2. What is suggested to break the cycle in the passage? A. Getting an app blocker. B. Deleting your social media. C. Getting away from the phone. D. Building up your strength. 3. Why is it hard to break away from scrolling? A. People lack purpose in their lives. B. Scrolling takes little mental effort. C. Connections are hard to maintain offline. D. The feeds are built to keep people engaged. B Sitting on the sofa, I started checking on my phone. It was the winter of 2017 and my best friend Jacob, 25, who I lived with, was getting on my nerves, and I on his. I need a hobby to get me out of the house. On Facebook, I came across a beginners’ course for underwater rugby which gained appeal as a means of developing teamwork through non-verbal (非语言的) communication. I’d always loved the water, so I went along. I was greeted by an enthusiastic coach Bobby. He got me swimming lengths on the surface, then from the top to the bottom. On the other side of the pool, advanced players were having a session. That they scored goals underwater got me excited. Within weeks, I was playing matches. The sport was played in 3D, meaning you could pass the ball in any direction, even up and down, and opponents could come at you from anywhere. Tackles involved grabbing hold of someone to slow them down and trying to get the ball off them. Often, I’d be so engaged that I wouldn’t think about my breathing until I’d pushed myself too far. I’d then rapidly make my way to the surface for breath, hoping my teammates had taken possession. With each game, my lung capacity increased until I could hold my breath for a full minute while playing. We formed a team called the Raiders, and in November we went to Berlin to compete against teams from other countries. It was the first Australian men’s team and although we came second-last, we had so much fun. My teammates have become close friends. “I want to try it,” Jacob said when he saw how many new friends I had. The classes were inclusive for all levels, and he picked it up as he went. He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. There are now hundreds of people playing underwater rugby around Australia, ranging in age from 17 into their late 50s. So I encourage anyone who can to give it a try. 4. Why did the author want to find a hobby? A. To enrich his spare time. B. To reduce the academic stress. C. To ease tension with his roommate. D. To improve his physical fitness. 5. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The process of participation. B. The training techniques. C. The interaction with the coach. D. The fruits of hard work. 6. How does the author benefit from the experience? A. Landing a high-paying job. B. Learning to avoid team conflicts. C. Winning the international championship. D. Enhancing physical fitness and social bonds. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. A good talk clears the air. B. A relaxing hobby eases the mind. C. A small sport makes a big difference. D. A team sport fuels the competitive spirit. C Four thousand meters beneath the ocean’s surface lies a world of darkness, near-freezing temperatures and pressure 400 times higher than at sea level. In this quiet, remote environment, the wide seafloor is dotted with rare-earth metals. These metals grow at a rate of 1.5cm per million years and support unique and delicate deep-sea life. And yet, this is where deep-sea miners intend to send giant machines to mine metals used in mobile phones, EV batteries and other technologies. Their activities are the focus of urgent debate as the industry presses for licenses, regardless of serious concern. Mining is destructive but at these depths it would be disastrous. Heavy equipment clears the seafloor and destroys its marine life, in the process removing the hard surfaces which are essential for deep-sea creatures. Seabed recovery will take centuries to millions of years. The damage extends far beyond and it’s hard to predict the severity of the destruction. Even supporters have no credible plans for recovery. Monitoring and regulating mining in remote, extreme environments will be far harder than on land. More fundamentally, we haven’t answered whether deep-sea mining is even necessary. When risks are high, the benefits are questionable and science is uncertain, why go ahead? In fields such as medicine and engineering, we don’t act when the potential for permanent harm outweighs our knowledge. Deep-sea mining should follow that same logic. This warning led New Caledonia to ban deep-sea mining for 50 years and the increasing number of countries, organizations, and scientists calling for a suspension or permanent ban in both national and international waters. Science and our history tell us that if deep-sea mining proceeds, short-term corporate winners will leave a burden of loss paid for by others: a millions-of-years-in-the-making ecosystem and human generations for millennia to come. Caution tells us to say no to deep-sea mining and instead innovate in how to generate the metals we need more safely. 8. What leads to the heated argument? A. The severe under-sea pollution. B. The push for deep-sea mining. C. Great demand for mobile phones. D. The uncertainty of the seafloor formation. 9. What does the author stress about deep-sea mining in paragraph 2? A. Its economic cost. B. Its unpredictable risks. C. Its technological advances. D. Its global influence. 10. Why does the author mention medicine and engineering in paragraph 3? A. To support the ban on deep-sea mining. B. To provide evidence for deep-sea mining risks. C. To show the negative impact of deep-sea mining. D. To help understand the prospects of deep-sea mining. 11. Which of the following best describes the deep-sea mining according to the passage? A. What’s done is done. B. Big waves sink small boats. C. Today’s greed, tomorrow’s debt. D. Short efforts, long benefits. D We dream every night. Some mornings, we recall vivid details, and other days, we can’t. But what about color? Do most people dream in color or in black and white? Some people may be surprised to learn that this has proved a divisive question. Modern research has indicated that television and films have a lot to do with how we experience dreaming and what we can remember when we wake up. “Since we’re used to colored media, we think dreams must be kind of like watching a movie or watching something on YouTube,” Eric Schwitzgebel, a professor at the University of California told Live Science. But that hasn’t always been the case. Up until the 1960s, researchers thought people largely dreamed without color, and surveys have backed this hypothesis. A small study of 277 people published in 1942 found that 70.7% of the college students surveyed rarely or never saw colors in their dreams. Nearly 60 years later, Schwitzgebel asked a group of 124 college students the same questions-and the results had shifted drastically. Less than 20% of the students surveyed reported rarely or never seeing colors in their dreams. Other recent studies have produced similar results. This suggests that the way we interpret our dreams is affected by the types of media we consume. But entertainment isn’t the only factor. Much of what we take away from our nightly dreams has to do with how accurately we remember. Just as in waking life, we tend to forget colors that match our expectations, but we’re more likely to recall ones that hold personal significance. But Schwitzgebel argues that the question of whether we dream in black and white or color could be a bit problematic in the first place. Our mental image might not be in black and white or in color; it may just be a foggy “indeterminate” image. Or perhaps what we remember in the morning is slightly different from the mental image we had while dreaming, informed more by assumptions than memory. Dreams might be less of a visual movie. It’s possible our media consumption affects how we remember our dreams. 12. What is the finding of modern research mainly about? A. The long-term effects of watching TV. B. A comparison between different dreams. C. The reason why people dream in black and white. D. The link between media exposure and dream colors. 13. The underlined word “hypothesis” in paragraph 2 refers to the idea that _________. A. people see colors in their dreams B. people dream in white and black C. people forget the content of dreams D. people recall dreams like watching videos 14.

They had no idea what purpose looked like. After countless research, I came to a crucial realization: You don’t find purpose — you build it. But building it isn’t random. ____16____ I call these purpose anchors (锚). There are many ways to uncover purpose anchors, but I turn to a method I call the Spaghetti Method. It’s simple and practical: If you don’t know what moves you, try a series of small experiments. ____17____ Maybe you go on a hike with a new friend. Leap into the unknown. The goal isn’t comfort. It’s exposure. Each new experience is an opportunity to discover something that arouses interest or joy. ____18____ Spend a day fully engaged in a new activity. At the end of the day, reflect with a few simple questions: Did I learn something new that excites me? Would I enjoy doing this again tomorrow, next week, or next month? The brilliance of the Spaghetti Method is in lowering the pressure. If you enjoy the activity, it could become a purpose anchor. Your Purpose is built around these anchors intentionally. The Spaghetti Method transforms action from stressful to manageable. ____19____ By testing, reflecting, and repeating, you start to uncover the activities that consistently bring meaning to your life. So stop searching and start experimenting. ____20____ Your purpose anchors are waiting, and the first one might be just around the corner. A. Finding purpose often feels stressful. B. They are the activities that light curiosity. C. You start by discovering what lights you up. D. I suggest committing to some mini-experiments each month. E. In practice, this means taking up things you don’t normally do. F. It replaces frustration with experimentation, and theory with experience. G. Let life guide you through the spaghetti: messy, varied, and full of surprises. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My dad and I were at a grocery store late in the evening.

Our belongings would be moved by truck and ship. I, however, was flying between islands. With me came my two beloved pets in their own carriers: Blanca, a quiet ten-year-old cat, and Carusoa, a lively parrot. At the airport, sitting near the big windows and watching planes take off and land, I caught the attention of a friendly older lady sitting nearby. She smiled at me as I gently cleaned the two carriers for my pets. “Going far?” she asked warmly. “To El Hierro,” I replied. “I’m moving there. New job, new home and new life.” “Oh, El Hierro is peaceful. I’m just off to travel around the islands for a few weeks,” she added, “I’m Lisa.” Lisa smiled toward the cat carrier where Blanca slept soundly. “You’re taking your pets with you.” I gently touched the carrier. “Blanca is ten years old. She’s been with me through thick and thin. And Carusoa — “just then Carusoa let out a cheerful chirp (唧唧), making everyone laugh. “He’s my morning sunshine. Leaving them behind was never an option.” Lisa nodded understandingly and shared a story about her own cat, who had passed away the year before. “They’re not just pets,” she said softly. “They’re family.” When our flight was called, we headed to the check-in counter. The check-in agent shook her head firmly and informed me that a passenger could only take one pet into the cabin. That meant I should put one in cargo (货物) hold. Knowing the cargo hold was dark and cold and many animals got very frightened, I hesitated. I looked at my two carriers. Blanca was old. The thought of leaving her alone in that dark space made my chest tighten. And Carusoa was small and delicate. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lost in anxiety, I didn’t know what to do. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I walked to the gate, worried about whether Blanca would be OK with Lisa. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
