Beijing, October 18 — Yang Zhenning, a world-famous physicist, Nobel Prize winner, and professor at Tsinghua University, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness. He was 103 years old.
Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, in 1922. When he was 13, after reading a book about the universe, he told his parents, “I want to win the Nobel Prize one day”. This “bold dream” came true when he was 35. In 1957, he and Li Zhengdao won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering that parity is not conserved in weak interactions. It was a revolutionary finding that changed how scientists understand the universe.
His most important work, however, was the “Yang-Mills gauge Theory” proposed in 1954 with Mills. This theory is like a “foundation stone” of modern physics, similar to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Later, he also found the “Yang-Baxter Equation,” opening new paths for scientific research.
Yang loved his motherland deeply. In 1971, when China and the US started to build better ties, he became the first famous Chinese scholar to visit China. He was so moved to learn China made its atomic bomb by itself that he cried. Back in the US, he talked about China’s progress everywhere, encouraging many Chinese scholars to come back.
In 1999, he returned to Tsinghua University to teach. Even in his 80s, he still gave lessons to first-year students. He raised money to help Chinese scientists study abroad and set up research centers in many universities. In 2015, he gave up his US citizenship and became a Chinese Academy of Sciences member.
“He is like a circle,” people said. “He started in Tsinghua Garden, went to the world stage, and finally came home.” Yang Zhenning’s life tells us: with passion for science and love for our country, we can achieve great things.
4. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To explain Yang Zhenning’s scientific theories
B. To report Yang Zhenning’s death and summarize his life
C. To compare Yang Zhenning with other physicists
D. To criticize American science policies
5. When did Yang Zhenning win the Nobel Prize?
A. 1922 B. 1954 C. 1957 D. 1971
6. What does “foundation stone” mean in paragraph 3?
A. A heavy rock used in construction B. A basic principle that supports other ideas
C. A type of scientific equipment D. A simple concept that anyone can understand
7. What does the “circle” suggest about Yang’s life?
A. He traveled around the world. B. His life had no clear direction.
C. He liked circular shapes. D. He returned to where he began.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。这篇文章主要报道了世界著名物理学家、诺贝尔奖得主杨振宁教授于10月18日在北京逝世的消息,并回顾了他辉煌的一生,突出他在科学上的成就与对祖国的热爱。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Beijing, October 18 — Yang Zhenning, a world-famous physicist, Nobel Prize winner, and professor at Tsinghua University, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness. He was 103 years old.(北京,10月18日——杨振宁,一位享誉全球的物理学家、诺贝尔奖得主以及清华大学教授,于10月18日在北京因病去世。他享年103岁)”以及文章开头报道了杨振宁去世的消息,随后回顾了他的生平、科学成就、爱国情怀以及晚年回国任教等经历。全文以“报道逝世”为引,重点在于“总结他的一生”,可知,这篇文章的主要目的是报道杨振宁的逝世并概述其生平。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1957, he and Li Zhengdao won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering that parity is not conserved in weak interactions.(1957年,他与李政道因发现弱相互作用中宇称不守恒,共同荣获诺贝尔物理学奖)”可知,杨振宁是在1957年获得诺贝尔物理学奖。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“This theory is like a “foundation stone” of modern physics, similar to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.(这一理论就像是现代物理学的“基石”,与爱因斯坦的相对论类似)”可知,文章将“杨-米尔斯理论”比作现代物理学的“基石”,并将其与爱因斯坦的“相对论”相提并论。相对论本身就是支撑现代物理学的一个基本、核心的原理。因此,“foundation stone”在这里的引申义就是“一个支撑其他思想的基本原理”,故划线词意思是“一个支撑其他观点的基本原则”。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He started in Tsinghua Garden, went to the world stage, and finally came home.(他从清华起步,走向了世界舞台,最终又回到了家乡)”可知,他的人生轨迹像一个圆圈:从清华出发,走向世界,最终回到原点,即,回国。故选D。
C
Sleeping in on weekends to make up for lost sleep during the week may offer mental health benefits for teenagers and young adults, according to new research from the University of Oregon. The study found that people aged 16 to 24 who caught up on sleep over the weekend were significantly less likely to report symptoms of depression. Compared with those who did not recover sleep on weekends, this group showed a 41 percent lower risk of depressive symptoms.
The researchers analyzed data from 16- to 24-year-olds who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2021-2023. Participants reported their typical bedtimes and wake-up times on weekdays and weekends. Using this information, the researchers calculated weekend catch-up sleep by comparing the average amount of sleep per weekend day with the average amount per weekday. Participants also reported their emotional well-being and were classified as having symptoms of depression if they said they felt sad or depressed every day.
Biological sleep rhythms, known as circadian (生理节奏的) rhythms, naturally change during adolescence. These shifts make it harder for teens to fall asleep early, even when they are tired. “Instead of being a morning lark (早起的人), you’re going to become more of a night owl,” explained Melynda Casement, a licensed psychologist. “And sleep beginning keeps progressively delaying in adolescence until age 18 to 20. After that, you start becoming more morning larkish again.”
For many teenagers, the natural sleep window falls around 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. This schedule often conflicts with early school start times. Because of this mismatch, many sleep experts and health care providers support efforts to delay school start times as a public health measure.
“It’s normal for teens to be night owls, so let them catch up on sleep on weekends if they can’t get enough sleep during the week because that’s likely to be somewhat protective,” Casement said.
8. What can we know about the impact of weekend sleep from paragraph 1?
A. It benefits future profession. B. It increases social interaction.
C. It contributes to mental health. D. It enhances academic performance.
9. How did the researchers obtain their study data?
A. Through tracking participants’ sleep.
B. Through self-report from subjects.
C. By analyzing different kinds of depressive diseases.
D. By working out teenagers’ daily sleeping time.
10. What is implied about early school start times for teenagers?
A. They ignore teens’ sleep rhythms shift.
B. They match biological needs.
C. They help students keep a healthy lifestyle.
D. They go against educational regulations.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Depression Symptoms Rise in Young Adults
B. Circadian Rhythm Shifts in Adolescent Years
C. Weekend Sleep May Lower Teen Depression
D. School Timetables Conflict with Teen Sleep
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是主要讲述了俄勒冈大学的新研究发现,青少年和年轻人周末补觉可能对心理健康有益,能显著降低抑郁症状的风险,同时介绍了青少年生理睡眠节奏的变化以及学校上课时间与青少年睡眠的冲突等内容。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Sleeping in on weekends to make up for lost sleep during the week may offer mental health benefits for teenagers and young adults, according to new research from the University of Oregon. The study found that people aged 16 to 24 who caught up on sleep over the weekend were significantly less likely to report symptoms of depression.(俄勒冈大学的新研究发现,周末补觉可能对青少年和年轻人的心理健康有益。研究发现,16至24岁在周末补觉的人报告抑郁症状的可能性明显更低。)”可知,周末补觉对心理健康有益,能降低抑郁症状出现的可能性。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Participants reported their typical bedtimes and wake-up times on weekdays and weekends. Using this information, the researchers calculated weekend catch-up sleep by comparing the average amount of sleep per weekend day with the average amount per weekday. Participants also reported their emotional well-being and were classified as having symptoms of depression if they said they felt sad or depressed every day.(参与者报告了他们在工作日和周末的典型就寝时间和起床时间。利用这些信息,研究人员通过比较周末每天的平均睡眠时间和工作日的平均睡眠时间来计算周末补觉时间。参与者还报告了他们的情绪健康状况,如果他们说自己每天都感到悲伤或沮丧,则被归类为有抑郁症状。)”可知,研究人员是通过参与者的自我报告来获取研究数据的。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Biological sleep rhythms, known as circadian (生理节奏的) rhythms, naturally change during adolescence. These shifts make it harder for teens to fall asleep early, even when they are tired.(生物睡眠节奏,即生理节奏,在青春期会自然发生变化。这些变化使得青少年即使累了也很难早睡。)”以及第四段中的“For many teenagers, the natural sleep window falls around 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. This schedule often conflicts with early school start times.(对许多青少年来说,自然的睡眠时间在晚上11点到早上8点左右。这个时间表经常与早上的上课时间冲突。)”可推断,青少年开课时间忽略了青少年睡眠节奏的变化,没有考虑到他们难以早睡的情况。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中的“Sleeping in on weekends to make up for lost sleep during the week may offer mental health benefits for teenagers and young adults, according to new research from the University of Oregon. The study found that people aged 16 to 24 who caught up on sleep over the weekend were significantly less likely to report symptoms of depression.(俄勒冈大学的新研究发现,周末补觉可能对青少年和年轻人的心理健康有益。研究发现,16至24岁在周末补觉的人报告抑郁症状的可能性明显更低。)”可知,文章主要围绕周末补觉对青少年抑郁症状的影响展开,C项“Weekend Sleep May Lower Teen Depression(周末睡眠可能降低青少年抑郁)”最适合作为本文标题。
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don’t just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
12. Art products differ from most other commercial products because ________.
A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible
C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes
13. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can ________.
A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them
C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D. offer honourable solutions to their problems
14. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?
A. They enjoy better living conditions.
B. They like to compare themselves with others.
C. They are particularly good at both music and art.
D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.
15. How does kids’ engagement with the arts benefit them?
A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.
B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.
C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.
D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了艺术这一活动对人类的重要意义,是我们不可或缺的社会生活之一。从赋予商品的商业价值,人类的身心健康和青少年的学术和情感发展等方面论述了艺术的重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.(任何公共空间都是由艺术家精心设计的,既实用又美观)”以及“Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can(艺术可以将文化与商业产品联系起来,这是其他很多东西都做不到的)”可知,可见艺术参与的作品兼具文化价值和商业价值。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,, and their expression of common values through artworks in honor of events significant to a nation's experience.(当个人通过反思和讨论分享他们的艺术经验,并通过艺术作品表达共同的价值观,以纪念对一个国家的经验有重要意义的事件时,社会纽带就在他们之间建立起来)”可知通过分享经历,可以建立一种特殊的联系和纽带。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not(研究发现,经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人比不经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人更容易获得健康)”可知,参加艺术活动的人们在身心上都相对更加健康。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education(参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就)”以及“encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.(有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情感反应)”可知,艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选A。

【28题详解】

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
____36____ (read) body language is a valuable skill in interpersonal communication. It involves paying attention to not just ____37____ people say, but also how they stand, move, and gesture. For example, someone ____38____ crosses their arms may be feeling defensive, while leaning forward often ____39____ (indicate) interest.
Cultural context is of ____40____( important) too. A gesture which is polite in one country might be offensive in another. Learning about these ____41____ (difference) can help avoid ____42____ (embarrass) situations.
Experts suggest observing people’s body language as a whole rather ____43____ focusing on single gestures. By ____44____ (do) this, we can better understand others and communicate _____45_____ (effectively). After all, communicating successfully is about more than just using words.
【答案】36. Reading
37. what 38. who##that
39. indicates
40. importance
41. differences
42. embarrassing
43. than 44. doing
45. more effectively
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍的是阅读身体语言在人际沟通中的重要性及其技巧,包括文化差异对身体语言理解的影响。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:解读肢体语言是人际交往中一项很有价值的技能。作主语应用动名词,首字母大写。
【37题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这不仅要求我们关注人们所说的内容,还要留意他们的站姿、动作以及手势。空处引导宾语从句,应用what引导,what在从句中充当say的宾语,指代“人们所说的话”。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:例如,如果某人双臂交叉抱在胸前,可能是在表现出防御心理;而身体前倾则往往表示感兴趣。先行词是someone,指代人;关系代词在定语从句中作主语;指代人且作主语,用who,也可以用that。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意同上。全文介绍客观常识,用一般现在时;主语为leaning forward是动名词短语,视作单数;主谓一致,谓语动词用第三人称单数indicates。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:文化背景也非常重要。固定句型be of +名词=be+形容词,所以空处用名词importance。
【41题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:了解这些差异有助于避免尴尬的场面。限定词these(这些)后面必须加可数名词复数;difference是可数名词,复数形式为differences。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:了解这些差异有助于避免尴尬的场面。修饰名词situations,用形容词embarrassing作定语,表示“令人尴尬的”。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:专家们建议,应当从整体上观察人们的肢体语言,而非仅仅关注个别动作。rather than固定短语,意为“而不是”。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过这样做,我们能够更好地理解他人,并且能够更有效地进行交流。by是介词,介词后面应接动名词作宾语。
【45题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意同上。修饰动词communicate要用副词effectively;前文出现better(副词比较级),and连接并列结构,前后形式要保持一致,故effectively要用比较级及more effectively。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny had a talent for music. She joined the campus choir (合唱团) soon after entering high school and enjoyed the after-school activity greatly. Two months later, the choir teacher Miss Music announced there would be a year-end choir concert, the school year’s highlight.
To her surprise, Miss Music gave her a challenging solo (独唱). “I’ve never done that. I’m afraid I can’t...” Jenny hesitated. “You have a beautiful voice. Practice hard and you can make it,” she encouraged her. Jenny agreed, sparing no effort to practice under her guidance.
During her practice, Jenny often saw Eli, a senior who sang an inspiring song at the freshman opening ceremony that impressed all the attendees, including Jenny. He’d led the choir to city awards and now helped guide new members. He gave her breath control tips patiently, stabilizing her singing. Jenny was grateful for that.
The big day came. Jenny spotted Eli in the hall backstage, helping with the routines. Then she noticed a single microphone standing at the front of the stage, lit by a bright spotlight, ready for her solo. She had never sung into a microphone and she forgot to ask Miss Music for advice. “The microphone might not be much of a problem,” she thought.
It was her turn to sing. Miss Music motioned for her to go up in front of that microphone. Despite her uncertainty, her solo began smoothly. She felt relieved, singing confidently. Then she got to the last high note. With her lips nearly touching the microphone, the note came bursting out of the loud speakers (音箱), deafeningly loud. Every single person jerked (急拉) backward, jaws dropping.
Shame swept over Jenny. “Never will I sing in front of people again,” she thought, rushing out, determined to skip the choir’s upcoming performance. She walked down the hallway, tears of sadness welling up in her eyes.
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。
Suddenly, she heard Eli calling out, “Jenny, wait!”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jenny ran back to the backstage.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Suddenly, she heard Eli calling out, “Jenny, wait!” Turning back, Jenny met Eli’s warm and understanding eyes. He handed her tissues. “My first solo was even worse — I messed up the rhythm and made a fool of myself. But courage means moving forward despite errors,” he continued. “The new microphone is sensitive; your voice is clear and emotional. Don’t let one mistake erase your talent and destroy your hard work.” His inspiring words brought back her memories of late-night rehearsals. She nodded with gratitude and said firmly, “Thanks. I’ll never give up.”
Jenny ran back to the backstage. Miss Music hurried over and hugged her, saying, “I’m proud you did quite well. The high note was just a microphone issue. My fault. I forgot to tell you how to use it.” She quickly showed Jenny the proper distance between the mouth and the microphone. Jenny responded, “Believe me, Miss Music. I’ll do better next time.” When it was the whole choir’s turn to perform, Jenny joined in. Her clear voice mixed with others’ perfectly. The hall erupted in loud applause. Jenny smiled at Eli and Miss Music, realizing setbacks are not walls but stepping stones, and that what matters most is daring to try again.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Jenny的经历为线索展开。Jenny有音乐天赋,加入校园合唱团后获独唱机会。她努力练习,演出时因未掌握好麦克风距离,最后一个高音震耳欲聋,她羞愧逃离,决定不再登台。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“突然,她听到埃利Eli喊道:‘Jenny,等等!’”可知,第一段可描写Eli追上Jenny,对她进行安慰与鼓励,分享自己首次独唱出丑的经历,强调勇气的重要性,还指出新麦克风敏感,她的声音很棒,不要因一个错误否定自己,这些话让Jenny回忆起辛苦排练的时光,重新振作。
②由第二段句首内容“Jenny跑回后台。”可知,第二段可描写Jenny回到后台,Music女士过来安慰她,承认是自己的疏忽,没告知麦克风使用方法,还迅速教她正确距离,Jenny表示下次会更好,在合唱表演时,Jenny融入其中,大厅响起掌声,最后她明白挫折是垫脚石,重要的是敢于再尝试。
2.续写线索:Eli出现——暖心安慰、分享自身经历并鼓励 ——Jenny重拾信心、坚定不放弃的决心 ——Jenny回到后台——Music女士道歉并指导麦克风用法 ——Jenny在合唱团集体表演中完美发挥、赢得掌声 ——Jenny领悟挫折的意义,明白敢于重新尝试最重要

②递纸巾:hand her tissues/pass her tissues/give her tissues

Beijing, October 18 — Yang Zhenning, a world-famous physicist, Nobel Prize winner, and professor at Tsinghua University, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness. He was 103 years old.
Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, in 1922. When he was 13, after reading a book about the universe, he told his parents, “I want to win the Nobel Prize one day”. This “bold dream” came true when he was 35. In 1957, he and Li Zhengdao won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering that parity is not conserved in weak interactions. It was a revolutionary finding that changed how scientists understand the universe.
His most important work, however, was the “Yang-Mills gauge Theory” proposed in 1954 with Mills. This theory is like a “foundation stone” of modern physics, similar to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Later, he also found the “Yang-Baxter Equation,” opening new paths for scientific research.
Yang loved his motherland deeply. In 1971, when China and the US started to build better ties, he became the first famous Chinese scholar to visit China. He was so moved to learn China made its atomic bomb by itself that he cried. Back in the US, he talked about China’s progress everywhere, encouraging many Chinese scholars to come back.
In 1999, he returned to Tsinghua University to teach. Even in his 80s, he still gave lessons to first-year students. He raised money to help Chinese scientists study abroad and set up research centers in many universities. In 2015, he gave up his US citizenship and became a Chinese Academy of Sciences member.
“He is like a circle,” people said. “He started in Tsinghua Garden, went to the world stage, and finally came home.” Yang Zhenning’s life tells us: with passion for science and love for our country, we can achieve great things.
4. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To explain Yang Zhenning’s scientific theories
B. To report Yang Zhenning’s death and summarize his life
C. To compare Yang Zhenning with other physicists
D. To criticize American science policies
5. When did Yang Zhenning win the Nobel Prize?
A. 1922 B. 1954 C. 1957 D. 1971
6. What does “foundation stone” mean in paragraph 3?
A. A heavy rock used in construction B. A basic principle that supports other ideas
C. A type of scientific equipment D. A simple concept that anyone can understand
7. What does the “circle” suggest about Yang’s life?
A. He traveled around the world. B. His life had no clear direction.
C. He liked circular shapes. D. He returned to where he began.
C
Sleeping in on weekends to make up for lost sleep during the week may offer mental health benefits for teenagers and young adults, according to new research from the University of Oregon. The study found that people aged 16 to 24 who caught up on sleep over the weekend were significantly less likely to report symptoms of depression. Compared with those who did not recover sleep on weekends, this group showed a 41 percent lower risk of depressive symptoms.
The researchers analyzed data from 16- to 24-year-olds who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2021-2023. Participants reported their typical bedtimes and wake-up times on weekdays and weekends. Using this information, the researchers calculated weekend catch-up sleep by comparing the average amount of sleep per weekend day with the average amount per weekday. Participants also reported their emotional well-being and were classified as having symptoms of depression if they said they felt sad or depressed every day.
Biological sleep rhythms, known as circadian (生理节奏的) rhythms, naturally change during adolescence. These shifts make it harder for teens to fall asleep early, even when they are tired. “Instead of being a morning lark (早起的人), you’re going to become more of a night owl,” explained Melynda Casement, a licensed psychologist. “And sleep beginning keeps progressively delaying in adolescence until age 18 to 20. After that, you start becoming more morning larkish again.”
For many teenagers, the natural sleep window falls around 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. This schedule often conflicts with early school start times. Because of this mismatch, many sleep experts and health care providers support efforts to delay school start times as a public health measure.
“It’s normal for teens to be night owls, so let them catch up on sleep on weekends if they can’t get enough sleep during the week because that’s likely to be somewhat protective,” Casement said.
8. What can we know about the impact of weekend sleep from paragraph 1?
A. It benefits future profession. B. It increases social interaction.
C. It contributes to mental health. D. It enhances academic performance.
9. How did the researchers obtain their study data?
A. Through tracking participants’ sleep.
B. Through self-report from subjects.
C. By analyzing different kinds of depressive diseases.
D. By working out teenagers’ daily sleeping time.
10. What is implied about early school start times for teenagers?
A. They ignore teens’ sleep rhythms shift.
B. They match biological needs.
C. They help students keep a healthy lifestyle.
D. They go against educational regulations.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Depression Symptoms Rise in Young Adults
B. Circadian Rhythm Shifts in Adolescent Years
C. Weekend Sleep May Lower Teen Depression
D. School Timetables Conflict with Teen Sleep
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don’t just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny had a talent for music. She joined the campus choir (合唱团) soon after entering high school and enjoyed the after-school activity greatly. Two months later, the choir teacher Miss Music announced there would be a year-end choir concert, the school year’s highlight.
To her surprise, Miss Music gave her a challenging solo (独唱). “I’ve never done that. I’m afraid I can’t...” Jenny hesitated. “You have a beautiful voice. Practice hard and you can make it,” she encouraged her. Jenny agreed, sparing no effort to practice under her guidance.
During her practice, Jenny often saw Eli, a senior who sang an inspiring song at the freshman opening ceremony that impressed all the attendees, including Jenny. He’d led the choir to city awards and now helped guide new members. He gave her breath control tips patiently, stabilizing her singing. Jenny was grateful for that.
The big day came. Jenny spotted Eli in the hall backstage, helping with the routines. Then she noticed a single microphone standing at the front of the stage, lit by a bright spotlight, ready for her solo. She had never sung into a microphone and she forgot to ask Miss Music for advice. “The microphone might not be much of a problem,” she thought.
It was her turn to sing. Miss Music motioned for her to go up in front of that microphone. Despite her uncertainty, her solo began smoothly. She felt relieved, singing confidently. Then she got to the last high note. With her lips nearly touching the microphone, the note came bursting out of the loud speakers (音箱), deafeningly loud. Every single person jerked (急拉) backward, jaws dropping.
Shame swept over Jenny. “Never will I sing in front of people again,” she thought, rushing out, determined to skip the choir’s upcoming performance. She walked down the hallway, tears of sadness welling up in her eyes.
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。
Suddenly, she heard Eli calling out, “Jenny, wait!”
