The Poetry Pharmacy Situated in Oxford Street, the store sells books and poems as “prescriptions (处方)”. Their books are arranged on shelves covering different needs like “Comfort,” “Words of Love,” and “Calm”. It also has a set of amazing “medicine bottles” filled with capsules containing poetry related to a particular theme, like “Chill pills”, “Joy” and “Social Media Detox”. Visitors can receive poetry pill “prescriptions” based on how they’re feeling. Hatchards Hatchards, the oldest bookstore (Piccadilly) in London, was founded by John Hatchard in 1797, and today, it still stands as an amazing five-story bookshop. It contains most of the titles that any bookworm could possibly want, and even carries newly-signed first editions and special editions of different books. The store delivers nothing but exceptional quality through its collections — even the British royal family buy their books from it. Books for Cooks Lying in Notting Hill, Books for Cooks sells various delicious titles on food, and also has a test kitchen or café at the back of its shop, where customers can try the recipes inside the store’s books, made with care by its chefs. Every day, the team will choose different recipes from among the many books in the shop, cooking and serving them to customers. Daunt Books Established in the 1990s, the bookstore (Marylebone High Street) offers a diverse selection of books that they arrange by country or region, allowing guests to actually go on a worldwide adventure. It’s a space made for the adventurous at heart, allowing readers to discover new voices from different places. 1. Where is the bookstore providing emotional support through its “prescriptions’’? A. In Piccadilly. B. In Oxford Street. C. In Notting Hill. D. In Marylebone High Street. 2. Which bookstore has the longest history in London? A. Hatchards. B. Books for Cooks. C. Daunt Books. D. The Poetry Pharmacy. 3. What is a feature of Books for Cooks? A. It was founded in 1990. B. It arranges books by title. C. It offers cooking experiences. D. It is known for its famous chefs. B After 529 days lost in the tough Australian forest, Valerie, a tiny dachshund (腊肠犬) weighing only four kilograms, is finally home. She lies comfortably between her owners, Georgia Gardner and Josh Fishlock — a clear difference to her recent hard time on remote Kangaroo Island. Valerie disappeared during a camping trip in 2023. 11.Despite being microchipped (植入微芯片) and wearing a tracking collar (项圈), the island’s small population and lack of nearby devices meant she couldn’t be located. Heartbroken, her owners searched for days with community help, leaving items behind, but ultimately had to return home without her. “Leaving the island was the hardest decision,” Fishlock said. Weeks turned into months with no sign of Valerie. Gardner and Fishlock tried to accept that she might be gone forever, struggling with sadness while imagining unlikely situations where she was safe. The island’s wild animals made survival seem impossible for such a small dog. Then, in February 2025, over a year after her disappearance, hope returned. A farmer spotted a small dog and shared a photo with Kangala Wildlife Rescue. The rescue team, led by Lisa Karran, recognized Valerie despite the incredible odds. “There’s no way that a four-kilo dog could survive that long,” Gardner initially thought, but the photo confirmed it was Valerie. Capturing her proved difficult. Standard traps caught cats and even kangaroos, but not the tricky dachshund. Karran’s team spent weeks designing a special solution: a large, roofed pen (围栏) equipped with wildlife cameras, a remote-controlled door, Valerie’s familiar toys, and tasty food like roast chicken. After nearly two months of patient effort, Valerie finally entered the pen and relaxed long enough for the team to remotely close the door. Valerie was found remarkably healthy, even slightly heavier, roughly 50 kilometers from her campsite. Her survival methods remain a mystery, though rescuers guess she drank farm water, sought shelter in holes, and possibly searched for food for herself. Now safely home, Valerie has settled back into her routine. Her owners believe she has become more independent yet still deeply connected to them. 4. Why was Valerie difficult to locate after her disappearance? A. The island had few people and devices. B. Her tracking collar was broken. C. She removed her microchip by herself. D. Locals stopped helping her owners. 5. What does the underlined word “Capturing” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Observing. B. Photographing. C. Catching. D. Feeding. 6. What can we learn about Valerie’s experience in the wild? A. Her owners never looked for her. B. Her collar led her to the shelter. C. She got on well with wild animals. D. She found sufficient food. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Couple Has Been Healthy in the Wild B. A Lost Dachshund Has Returned Home C. The Difficulty of Rescuing Wild Animals D. An Unwanted Encounter With a Dachshund C In today’s demanding world, many seek comfort in books. As a parent balancing work and family, I find peace by escaping to early 20th-century India through Abraham Verghese’s. The Covenant of Water after my children sleep. The sensory experience — warmth, jasmine-scented air — offers much-needed relaxation. During a winter of constant illness, Frances Mayes’ Under the Tuscan Sun let me picture myself wandering Italian vineyards, providing calm without leaving home. This practice, known as bibliotherapy (阅读疗法), is recognized as a powerful wellness tool. Therapist Emely Rumble explained, “Few opportunities exist to slow down and turn inward.” Books create space for self-reflection away from daily pressures. More than escapism, books often have powerful effects on people, making readers cry or causing them to get angry. “If readers find themselves connecting emotionally with certain characters, they should consider what’s making them attach to those individuals,” Rumble said. She recommended readers keep journals on hand to write what they learn about themselves. Reading also broadens views. Engaging with varied stories challenges fixed thinking. “We might realize we’re viewing things narrowly or worrying too much,” noted Rumble. Stories reframe our worldview while reminding us that we’re not alone in facing life’s challenges. This shared-humanity aspect reduces loneliness. Finding enjoyable genres — historical fiction, sci-fi, nature writing — is key. Librarians or platforms like Goodreads can guide selections. Devices (audiobook, print, e-reader) matter less than personal preference. Therapists often use books because story characters ease discussions of difficult experiences. Despite the benefits of books, people have been reading less. The average American read 12.6 books during the previous year — the lowest number since 1990. But Rumble advised that it should be best not to set goals for how many books you’ll get through in a week or a year. “Once we start focusing on how much we’re reading, we take the joy away from the benefits of slowing down,” she said: She spent months enjoying Mary Ann Shaffer’s The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, researching wartime letters and Channel Islands history — a model of joyful engagement. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To compare different views on reading. B. To stress the necessity of relaxation. C. To introduce the concept of bibliotherapy. D. To present insights about reading habits. 9. What did Emely Rumble advise readers to do when stories bring out strong emotions? A. Research the background of characters. B. Journal their emotional reflections. C. Ignore the emotions and continue reading. D. Share their feelings with other readers. 10. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The best way to choose books. B. A key benefit of reading books. C. The importance of reading speed. D. A challenge in the reading journey. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Slow reading is worth encouraging. B. Fewer people like historical books. C. The reading rate will increase soon. D. People should set high reading goals. D Fantasy stories often feature walking trees, like Groot or the Whomping Willow. While real trees aren’t that athletic, science shows they do move, just incredibly slowly. Trees constantly seek sunlight and water. Young trees stretch their branches towards the sun in a process called phototropism. They need light to grow. If sunlight is blocked, they slowly bend towards brighter areas. Tree roots also move. They sense water in the soil and grow towards it. Sometimes, this causes problems when roots seek water inside pipes, even reaching into people’s toilets. There are tales of a “walking palm tree” in Central and South America that supposedly moves using its special roots. However, scientists say there’s no real evidence that trees actually get up and walk like those in the stories. While individual trees stay rooted, entire forests can move over very long periods. This is called forest migration (迁移). Trees don’t walk or fly, they migrate over generations by spreading their seeds. Animals like squirrels carry nuts. Birds eat berries and drop the seeds elsewhere. Wind blows seeds to new locations. Seeds that land in suitable spots grow into new trees. Historically, forests slowly migrated as climates changed, perhaps moving 100–500 meters per year. But today, human-caused climate change is damaging habitats much faster than forests can naturally move. Rising seas threaten coastal forests like mangroves. Warmer temperatures make it hard for spruce trees in Canada. Drier weather harms pines in the American southwest. “Trees just cannot keep up,” says ecologist Leslie Brandt: “Their habitats are changing faster than they can migrate.” To help, scientists are trying “assisted migration”. This means planting tree seeds in new areas where the future climate might suit them better. For example, in Minnesota, forests are suffering from more floods and harmful insects, so scientists are planting trees like cottonwoods and willows to replace dying maples (枫树). They work with local communities to ensure these changes meet everyone’s needs, as people rely on forests! Even though forests need to adapt, the goal isn’t to change them, but to help them survive. 12. What do scientists say about the “walking palm tree”? A. Its roots can damage water pipes. B. It moves quickly using special roots. C. It grows well in wet environments. D. There is no clear proof of its walking. 13. How do forests migrate naturally over generations? A. By seeds being spread to new areas. B. By roots growing towards water. C. By animals carrying adult trees. D. By scientists planting new seeds. 14. Why are scientists planting cottonwoods and willows in Minnesota? A. Their roots hold soil in place. B. Locals prize them for beauty. C. They survive floods and insect attacks. D. They outgrow maples in cold climates. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Differences between fantasy trees and real ones. B. The role of seeds in tree growth. C. How climate change harms forests. D. Natural and assisted forest migration. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you’re an anxious new freshman or a confident senior, heading back to school signals a time of change: new classes, new teachers, new schedules and a new social scene. ____16____.

The wife, who was a teacher, was sitting on the sofa, with her students’ exam papers piled up around her. As she was carefully checking each paper, her husband was sitting next to her. There was silence in the room, except for the occasional sound of the husband’s fingers tapping on the phone screen. He needed to check some emails, though he was off work at home. At that moment, their seven-year-old son came to his father and asked, “Dad, could you play with me?” “Wait for a moment, I am busy now,” the man answered, even not raising his head. As the wife was flipping through the pages, she smiled at some of her students’ innocent and creative answers. But as she reached one, her face suddenly changed. Her eyes filled up with tears. Before she knew it, tears started rolling down her face. Her husband, who noticed the action, looked up from his phone and saw his wife crying. Shocked, he asked worriedly, “Why are you crying? What happened?” The wife wiped her tears and tried to reply, “Yesterday, I gave a test to my first-grade students. The topic was simple: ‘My wish’.” Her husband, still shocked, asked, “But why is this making you so emotional?” She picked up the answer sheet, “Because a child’s wish has touched me. Let me read it out to you.” Then the wife read: “My wish: I want to become a phone. My father loves his phone and he takes care of it so much. He has time for his phone, but he seldom plays with me. When he is talking on his phone, he doesn’t listen to me, no matter how important my words are. So I want to become a phone.” As the wife finished reading, the husband looked at his wife and asked, “Who wrote this?” The wife replied, “Our son.” 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。 The husband’s face changed ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

A deep realization struck him like lightning — his son felt neglected because of the device he spent so much time with, though he used it to work. The husband, who always considered himself a loving and responsible father, felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. He never imagined that his work on the device could have made his son feel so unwanted. At that very moment, their son came to them holding something in his hands. With shining eyes, he excitedly ran towards his mother, wanting to show her what he had created. But before he could say anything, his mother hugged him tightly. The husband joined them, gently placing his hand on his son’s head, silently promising to change. It was then that he realized that in the race to stay connected to the digital world, he couldn’t lose sight of those who mattered the most — his family, no matter how busy he was. 1. A 2. C 3. C 4.
