Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery.
My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’ sacrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.
The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.
To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.
4. What did the author do after hanging up the phone?
A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket.
C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty.
5. Why did the author showcase her strength?
A. To help her mother make a full recovery.
B. To give herself an advantage in promotion.
C. To avoid being seen as weak or incapable by others.
D. To prove that she was more successful than her family.
6. How did some people help the author?
A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is necessary.
C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her.
7. What does the author want to convey in the text?
A. Strength doesn’t mean hiding struggles.
B. Strength gives us more courage to grow.
C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful.
D. Worldly labels block personal development.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions.(五分钟后,我走进教室给68名MBA学生照常讲课,甚至课后还留了几分钟回答问题。)”可知,作者挂断电话后保持冷静并坚守了工作岗位。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.(我不想让同事质疑我的能力,也不想让亲朋好友觉得我不是坚不可摧的。)”可知,作者展现坚强是为了避免被他人看作软弱或无能。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process.(令我欣慰的是,有些人不带评判地倾听我,尊重我的界限和应对过程。)”以及“They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.(他们让我明白,即使是身居领导职位的专业人士也需要支持。)”可知,这些人通过倾听并让作者意识到寻求帮助是必要的来帮助她。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.(真正的坚强不是从不犹豫,而是有勇气承认自己在挣扎,主动寻求支持,并重新振作继续前行。)”可知,作者想要传达的是坚强并不意味着隐藏自己的困境与挣扎。故选A项。
C
Every time two people talk to each other, an opportunity for relationship growth is unfolding. Many times, that opportunity isn’t taken; we aren’t about to have an in-depth conversation with the waitress who asks for our order. But connect ion is always theoretically possible, and that’s true whether we’re interacting online or face-to-face.
Close relationships are the bread and butter of happiness — and even health. Lonelines s is a stronger predictor of death rate than smoking multiple cigarettes a day. If we want to understand the role technology plays in our well- being, we need to start with the role it plays in our relationships.
And it turns out that the technology- mediated interactions that lead to positive outcomes are exactly those that are likely to build stronger relationships. Spending your time online by scheduling interactions with people you see day in and day out seems to work out in increased social integration. However, using the Internet to make up for being lonely just makes you lonelier; using the Internet to actively seek out connection has the opposite effect.
Research has found that technology- mediated interactions that don’t really address our close relationships don’t seem to do us any good — and might, in fact, do us harm. Passively scrolling (刷屏) through your Facebook feed without interacting with people has been linked to decreased well- being and increased depression post- Facebook use.
That kind of passive usage is a good example of “social snacking”. Like eating junk food, social snacking can temporarily satisfy you, but it’s lacking in nutritional content. Looking at your friends’ posts without ever responding might make you feel more connected to them, but it doesn’t build relationships.
Passive engagement has a second downside as well: social comparison. When we compare our messy lived experiences to others’ selected self-presentations, we are likely to suffer from lowered self-esteem, happiness, and well- being. This effect is exacerbated when we consume people’s digital lives without interacting with them, making it all too easy to miss the less photogenic moments of their lives.
8. What does the example of the waitress imply?
A. Waitresses are often disrespected. B. Public places enhance relationships.
C. Many relationship-building chances are lost D. In-depth conversations frequently take place.
9. What might be the result of making up for loneliness through the Internet?
A. Loneliness will not be relieved. B. Interaction skills will improve.
C. More connections will be made. D. Relationships will be strengthened.
10. Which of the following is an exception to “social snacking”?
A. Reading a friend’s posts in silence. B. Watching online videos constantly.
C. Checking Facebook to pass the time. D. Video chatting with Mom every weekend.
11. What does the underlined word “exacerbated” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. worsened B. weakened C. realized D. improved
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了人际关系的重要性、网络互动对人际关系的影响以及“社交小吃”的概念和危害。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Many times, that opportunity isn’t taken; we aren’t about to have an in- depth conversation with the waitress who asks for our order. But connect ion is always theoretically possible, and that’s true whether we’re interacting online or face-to-face.(很多时候,这个机会没有被抓住;我们不打算和问我们点菜的女服务员进行深入的交谈。但从理论上讲,联系总是可能的,无论我们是在线交流还是面对面交流,都是如此)”可知,女服务员的例子表明,我们失去了很多建立关系的机会。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, using the Internet to make up for being lonely just makes you lonelier; using the Internet to actively seek out connection has the opposite effect.(然而,用互联网来弥补孤独只会让你更孤独;使用互联网积极寻找联系会产生相反的效果)”可知,通过网络来弥补孤独可能会让你更孤独,孤独不会得到缓解。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, using the Internet to make up for being lonely just makes you lonelier; using the Internet to actively seek out connection has the opposite effect.(然而,用互联网来弥补孤独只会让你更孤独;使用互联网积极寻找联系会产生相反的效果)”、第四段“Research has found that technology- mediated interactions that don’t really address our close relationships don’t seem to do us any good — and might, in fact, do us harm. Passively scrolling (刷屏) through your Facebook feed without interacting with people has been linked to decreased well- being and increased depression post- Facebook use.(研究发现,技术中介的互动并没有真正解决我们的亲密关系,似乎对我们没有任何好处,事实上,可能会对我们造成伤害。被动地滚动你的脸书信息流而不与人互动,与脸书使用后幸福感下降和抑郁症增加有关)”以及第五段“That kind of passive usage is a good example of “social snacking”.(这种被动用法是“社交零食”的一个很好的例子)”可知,每个周末和妈妈视频聊天,这与妈妈产生互动,属于积极利用网络,所以是“社交零食”的例外。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“When we compare our messy lived experiences to others’ selected self-presentations, we are likely to suffer from lowered self-esteem, happiness, and well- being.(当我们将自己混乱的生活经历与他人选择的自我表现相比较时,我们很可能会遭受自卑、快乐和幸福的痛苦)”以及后文“This effect is exacerbated when we consume people’s digital lives without interacting with them, making it all too easy to miss the less photogenic moments of their lives(当我们消费人们的数字生活而不与他们互动时,这种影响会exacerbated,这使得我们很容易错过他们生活中不那么上镜的时刻)”可知,上文提到我们将自己混乱的生活经历与他人选择的自我表现相比较时,我们很可能会遭受自卑、快乐和幸福的痛苦,推测我们消费人们的数字生活而不与他们互动时,这种影响会恶化,导致我们很容易错过他们生活中不那么上镜的时刻,故划线词意思是“恶化”,与worsened意义相近。故选A。
D
As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. However, a recent study suggests that wild nature within cities plays a crucial role in our daily lives, offering benefits that beautifully landscaped parks cannot fully replace.
Researchers from the University of Washington studied visitors to Seward Park in Seattle, an area that contains both landscaped sections and wilder, unmaintained forest patches. They found that people who spent time in the wilder portions of the park reported feeling a deeper sense of peace and renewal compared to those who stayed in the manicured (修剪整齐的) areas. The researchers noted that wild nature provides an environment where people can escape the strict order of city life.
Interestingly, the study also revealed that interacting with wild nature can improve our mental function. In the wild forest, people are forced to be more observant—navigating uneven paths and noticing the subtle movements of birds and insects. This active engagement stimulates the brain in ways that simply walking along a paved path does not. Furthermore, natural sounds and sights, such as the rustling of leaves or the flowing of a stream, have been proven to lower stress hormones and restore our focus.
Despite these findings, urban wild spaces are rapidly disappearing. Many city planners view these untidy areas as useless or even unsafe, preferring to replace them with orderly parks or commercial developments. However, the researchers argue that we must recognize the unique value of urban wildness. It is not just about preserving biodiversity; it is about preserving our own well-being. Protecting these wild pockets within our cities is essential for maintaining a healthy human-nature relationship. After all, we are not separate from nature; we are part of it, and our minds and bodies thrive when we allow nature to exist alongside us in its wildest forms.
12. According to the study, what is the advantage of wild nature over landscaped parks?
A. It offers more space for physical exercise.
B. It brings a deeper feeling of peace and renewal.
C. It provides cleaner air and water for citizens.
D. It attracts a wider variety of wild animals.
13. How does interacting with wild nature improve mental function according to paragraph 3?
A. By encouraging active observation and engagement.
B. By providing perfectly paved paths for walking.
C. By offering quiet places for deep thinking.
D. By teaching people how to survive in the wild.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards replacing urban wild spaces with orderly parks?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Ambiguous.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Decline of Urban Green Spaces
B. City Planning: Order Over Wildness
C. How to Design Better City Parks
D. Urban Wild Nature: A Cure for City Life
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是城市中的野生自然(而非修剪整齐的公园)对人的身心健康有不可替代的独特益处,我们应该保护城市里的这些野生空间,而不是将它们改造为整齐的公园或商业区。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that people who spent time in the wilder portions of the park reported feeling a deeper sense of peace and renewal compared to those who stayed in the manicured (修剪整齐的) areas.(他们发现,那些在公园未经修葺的区域活动的人,相比那些待在精心修剪的区域的人,更能感受到一种更深层次的平静与焕然一新之感。)”可知,根据这项研究,野生自然环境相较于人工景观公园的优势是它能给人带来更深层次的宁静与新生的感觉。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In the wild forest, people are forced to be more observant—navigating uneven paths and noticing the subtle movements of birds and insects. This active engagement stimulates the brain in ways that simply walking along a paved path does not.(广袤的森林中,人们不得不更加留心观察——要穿梭于高低不平的小径之上,还要留意鸟儿和昆虫的细微动作。这种积极的探索方式能够以不同于在平坦道路上行走的方式刺激大脑。)”可知,与自然环境的接触通过鼓励积极的观察和参与改善心智功能。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the researchers argue that we must recognize the unique value of urban wildness. It is not just about preserving biodiversity; it is about preserving our own well-being. Protecting these wild pockets within our cities is essential for maintaining a healthy human-nature relationship.(然而,研究人员认为我们必须认识到城市野生环境的独特价值。这不仅仅是为了保护生物多样性,更是为了保护我们自身的福祉。保护城市中的这些野生区域对于维持人与自然的健康关系至关重要。)”可知,作者对于用规整的公园取代城市中的野生区域的态度是不赞成的。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“However, a recent study suggests that wild nature within cities plays a crucial role in our daily lives, offering benefits that beautifully landscaped parks cannot fully replace.(然而,最近的一项研究表明,城市内的野生自然环境在我们的日常生活中起着至关重要的作用,其带来的益处是精心布置的公园无法完全替代的。)”可知,本文主要讲的是城市中的野生自然(而非修剪整齐的公园)对人的身心健康有不可替代的独特益处,我们应该保护城市里的这些野生空间,而不是将它们改造为整齐的公园或商业区,因此最好的题目是D选项“Urban Wild Nature: A Cure for City Life(城市中的野性自然:城市生活的一剂良药)”。
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。
In today’s digital age, screens are everywhere. From online classes to social media and video games, technology is deeply woven into the daily lives of high school students. While digital devices offer endless convenience and entertainment, spending too much time on them can negatively affect your sleep, mood, and academic performance. ____16____.
● Track your current habits.
Before making changes, you need to know exactly where your time goes. Most smartphones have built-in screen time trackers that show how many hours you spend on specific apps. You might be shocked to discover that you spend three hours a day scrolling through short videos. ____17____. Once you identify the apps that consume most of your time, you can start making conscious decisions to reduce them.
● ____18____
Not all screen time is created equal. Spending two hours researching for a history project is obviously more productive than spending two hours aimlessly browsing social media. When setting your screen time goals, differentiate between necessary and recreational use. You don’t have to cut out technology completely. Instead, aim to limit passive consumption while keeping the active, purposeful use that supports your learning and growth.
● Create tech-free zones.
Another effective way to manage screen time is to establish physical boundaries in your home. Designate certain areas, such as the dining table or your bed, as tech-free zones. When you eat without a phone, you can actually taste your food and connect with your family. Similarly, keeping devices out of the bedroom helps your brain associate the bed with sleep rather than stimulation. ____19____, making it much easier to fall asleep at night.
● Replace screen time with offline activities.
If you simply try to stop using your phone, you will likely feel bored and quickly return to your old habits. The key is to fill the void with engaging real-world activities. Pick up a book that you’ve been meaning to read, go outside for a walk, or spend time practicing a musical instrument. ____20____. By gradually substituting digital entertainment with physical and social activities, you will find that you rely less on screens to pass the time.
A. Focus on quality over quantity.
B. This realization is the first step toward change
C. They will not only enrich your life but also reduce your urge to check your phone
D. However, breaking free from the screen doesn’t mean you have to abandon your phone entirely
E. These boundaries send a clear signal to your brain to wind down
F. Therefore, it is essential to develop healthier screen habits
G. Set reasonable goals for yourself
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要向高中生提供了减少屏幕使用时间、培养更健康数字习惯的实用建议。
【16题详解】
前文“While digital devices offer endless convenience and entertainment, spending too much time on them can negatively affect your sleep, mood, and academic performance.(虽然数字设备提供了无尽的便利和娱乐,但长时间使用它们会对你的睡眠、情绪和学业表现产生负面影响。)”讲述电子产品利弊,点明长时间看屏幕危害睡眠、情绪与学习,F选项“Therefore, it is essential to develop healthier screen habits(因此,培养更健康的使用屏幕的习惯至关重要)”起到总结引出下文对策的作用,说明养成健康用屏习惯很有必要,自然衔接后文各类方法,因此符合语境。
【17题详解】
前文“You might be shocked to discover that you spend three hours a day scrolling through short videos.(你可能会惊讶地发现,你每天会花三个小时浏览短视频。)”说你常会震惊发现自己浪费大量时间刷短视频。B选项“This realization is the first step toward change(这一认识是迈向改变的第一步)”中说的“这种认识”指代上文意识到自己用时过长这件事,承接上文,开启后续调整行动。
【18题详解】
空格处是本段小标题,由空后“When setting your screen time goals, differentiate between necessary and recreational use. You don’t have to cut out technology completely. Instead, aim to limit passive consumption while keeping the active, purposeful use that supports your learning and growth.(在设定屏幕使用时间目标时,要区分必要使用和娱乐性使用。你不必完全摒弃科技产品。相反,应努力限制被动消费,同时保持积极、有目的的使用,以支持你的学习和成长。)”可知,本段核心内容是区分必要用屏和娱乐用屏、不彻底戒掉电子产品、合理规划用时,A选项“Focus on quality over quantity.(注重质量而非数量。)”说明在定目标的时候要重质量而非数量,也就是要区分用屏的目的,概括了本段内容,可作为小标题。
【19题详解】
前文“Another effective way to manage screen time is to establish physical boundaries in your home. Designate certain areas, such as the dining table or your bed, as tech-free zones.(另一种有效管理屏幕时间的方法是在家中设立物理界限。指定某些区域,比如餐桌或床,为无科技区域。)”和“Similarly, keeping devices out of the bedroom helps your brain associate the bed with sleep rather than stimulation.(同样,将设备留在卧室之外有助于你的大脑将床与睡眠联系起来,而不是与刺激活动联系在一起。)”提到在家划定无电子区域,远离卧室电子产品,E选项“These boundaries send a clear signal to your brain to wind down(这些界限向你的大脑发送了一个明确的信号,让你放松下来)”中These boundaries指代上文划定的物理无屏幕界限,承接上文,说明该做法能让大脑放松,衔接后文“making it much easier to fall asleep at night(这样就能更容易地在晚上入睡)”更容易入睡。
【20题详解】
前文“Pick up a book that you’ve been meaning to read, go outside for a walk, or spend time practicing a musical instrument.(拿起一本你一直想读的书,出去散散步,或者花些时间练习一种乐器。)”列举读书、散步、练乐器等线下活动,C选项“They will not only enrich your life but also reduce your urge to check your phone(它们不仅会丰富你的生活,还会减少你查看手机的冲动)”中的They指代这些现实活动,说明线下活动的两大好处,完美总结本段主旨,收尾自然。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是讲述了一个名叫Sam的高中生,从全校最出名的“问题少年”(逃课、打架、几乎全科不及格),通过参加社区服务项目蜕变为学校领袖的励志故事。
【21题详解】
考查名词。句意:他名声很差,甚至学校里的一些老师都认为他将一事无成。A. effect影响;B. example例子;C. reputation名声;D. character性格。根据上文“Sam was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. He wasn’t very talkative, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights”可知,Sam沉默寡言,不回答问题,还经常与人打架,所以名声很差。
【22题详解】
考查动词。句意:他名声很差,甚至学校里的一些老师都认为他将一事无成。A. challenge挑战;B. achieve实现/取得;C. embrace拥抱;D. manage管理。根据前文对Sam的负面描述及下文“He had skipped many classes, failing almost every subject by the time he entered his senior year”可知,他除了行为恶劣以外还逃课,所以老师们认为他将一事无成,即achieve nothing。
【23题详解】
考查副词。句意:Sam在不断前进,但显然并没有在学业上有所进步。A. hardly几乎不;B. definitely绝对地;C. temporarily暂时地;D. effectively有效地。根据上文“He had skipped many classes, failing almost every subject by the time he entered his senior year, yet was being passed on each year to a higher grade level”可知,他每年都被升到更高年级,但经常考试不及格,此处用definitely强调他虽然年级升了,但绝对没有真正进步,形成鲜明对比。
【24题详解】
考查动词。句意:直到Sam报名参加了ACE培训——一个旨在让学生更多地参与社区活动的项目——一切才开始改变。A. disappeared消失;B. occurred发生;C. changed改变;D. mattered重要。前文一直在说Sam的糟糕状况,后文“until”引出转折点——参加ACE训练后他开始变化,所以此处是说什么都没有改变(Nothing changed),直到他参加了这个项目。
【25题详解】
考查名词。句意:他对贫穷、饥饿和绝望有所了解。A. cruelty残忍;B. reality现实;C. shelter庇护;D. poverty贫穷。根据后文“hunger, and hopelessness”可知,此处需要一个与之并列的负面社会问题,poverty(贫穷)与hunger、hopelessness构成并列,且与后文他参与的“Homeless Project team”相呼应。
【26题详解】
考查动词。句意:他们选Sam为团队的联合主席。A. called称为;B. defined定义;C. elected选举;D. found发现。根据上文“The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas”可知,大家是选举(elected)他为联合主席,且后文第8空前也出现了“elected co-chairman”的原词复现。
【27题详解】
考查动词。句意:然而,几位老师向学校校长提出了抗议,坚决认为他当选联合主席是不可行的,他们坚信失败是不可避免的。A. proposed提议;B. protested抗议;C. appealed呼吁;D. spoke说。根据上文“However”表转折和后文“firmly convinced that failure”可知,老师们对Sam当选持反对态度,所以是向校长抗议(protested)。
【28题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,几位老师向学校校长提出了抗议,坚决认为他当选联合主席是不可行的,他们坚信失败是不可避免的。A. unforgettable难忘的;B. unbelievable难以置信的;C. unavoidable不可避免的;D. unreliable不可靠的。根据前文“However, several teachers _____to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman”老师们不相信Sam能成功,认为失败是不可避免的(unavoidable)。
【29题详解】
考查动词。句意:两周后,Sam和他的朋友们带领70名学生开展了一场食物收集活动。A. urged催促;B. led带领;C. obtained获得;D. encouraged鼓励。根据上文“They ___ Sam co-chairman of the team”可知,Sam作为联合主席,带领(led)70名学生开展活动。
【30题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些食物足以填满两个社区中心的空货架,并且能够为该地区贫困家庭提供 75 天的物资支持。A. remote偏远的;B. ready准备好的;C. needy有需要的/贫困的;D. small小的。根据前文“Homeless Project team”和“in a drive to collect food”可知,他们为无家可归者项目收集食物,可知这些食物是送给有需要的(needy)家庭的。
【31题详解】
考查动词。句意:当地报纸第二天用整版文章报道了这件事。A. advertised做广告;B. covered报道;C. discovered发现;D. tracked追踪。根据上文“The local newspaper”和下文“with a full-page article”可知,报纸是报道(covered)了这件事。
【32题详解】
考查名词。句意:他因此被赞誉为具有领导才能的人才。A. citizenship公民意识;B. membership会员资格;C. leadership领导力;D. scholarship奖学金。根据前文Sam从一个捣蛋鬼变成了团队联合主席,带领70人创造了学校纪录,还被报纸报道,可知他被认为是具有领导才能的人才。
【33题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:此后,萨姆开始每天按时到校,并并首次回答老师的问题。A. showing up出现/到场;B. taking off起飞/脱下;C. breaking down崩溃;D. showing off炫耀。根据后文“answered questions from teachers for the first time”可知,Sam开始每天到校,空格处用“出现/到场”。
【34题详解】
考查名词。句意:Sam时刻提醒着我们:一只翅膀受伤的鸟只需要得到修复就能重新飞翔。A. reminder提醒;B. warning警告;C. lesson课程/教训;D. signal信号。根据后文“that a bird with a broken wing only needs ____. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest”可知,Sam的故事是在提醒(reminder)我们每个人后文所说的道理。
【35题详解】
考查动词。句意:Sam时刻提醒着我们:一只翅膀受伤的鸟只需要得到修复就能重新飞翔。A. replacing替代;B. unfolding展开;C. fixing修复;D. adjusting调整。根据后文“But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest”可知,此处与“healed(痊愈)”对应,鸟只需要修复(fixing)。

【导语】本文主要讲述巴黎咖啡文化迎来新式风潮,从传统法式咖啡逐步走向国际化,特色咖啡、亚洲手工茶饮逐渐流行,巴黎正逐步成为世界咖啡文化之都。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:数十年来,巴黎的咖啡馆文化与基于法式工艺打造的传统咖啡配方紧密相连,然而其咖啡文化早已远超于此,展现出更为广泛的全球影响力。空格处修饰名词recipes,base与 recipes为逻辑被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语\。

【39题详解】

考查时态。句意:2025年巴黎国际咖啡文化节负责人玛丽・勒费弗尔强调,巴黎正成为世界咖啡文化之都,坚守唯一宗旨 —— 为人们带来暖心体验,向各国食客展现丰富的咖啡艺术。此处作句子谓语,从句出现was,时态需保持一致,陈述过去的言论,谓语用一般过去时,emphasize过去式为emphasized。

Secret Santa Saves the Day
It was 1 a.m. on Christmas morning, but for Marisa Shumaker, it was still Christmas Eve. Like so many other parents, she had holiday magic to make. For weeks, her 4-year-old daughter, Aubree, had been asking for one thing only for Christmas: a “real piano keyboard,” not just some simple toy made for little kids.
Now that Aubree was asleep, Marisa pulled the box from its hiding spot, ready to set up the 61-key keyboard with full-size keys—perfect for serious beginners like Aubree. She planned to put together the stand and bench, setting everything up so it would be ready to play when Aubree woke up. But when she opened the box, only the stand and bench were inside. No keyboard.
Panic overtook her as she realized she’d missed that the keyboard was sold separately.
The night before, they’d watched The Santa Clause, where characters talked about never-received gifts that made them doubt Santa. That scene kept replaying in her mind, and she was afraid Aubree would feel terribly disappointed. She checked online delivery options and nearby stores, but there was no way to get a keyboard in time.
Desperate, Marisa posted in a neighborhood Facebook group: “I’m about to cry. I’m so devastated (伤心欲绝的) this will ruin her Christmas.”
Andy Spencer, who lived 5 miles away, saw her plea just before 2 a.m. “Any parent would panic,” he thought. He remembered his daughter Hailey hardly ever used the keyboard they’d bought her two years earlier. He immediately contacted Marisa, and they arranged to meet at a grocery store across from her home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Marisa waited anxiously at the grocery store, not knowing what to expect.

The next morning, Aubree woke up and rushed straight into the living room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Marisa waited anxiously at the store, not knowing what to expect. Though some doubt lingered in her mind, she still held a quiet hope that the kind stranger would appear. Soon a car pulled up, and Andy stepped out holding the keyboard carefully. “Merry Christmas. I hope this will make her day,” he said with a gentle smile. Deeply touched, Shumaker tried to pay him for the keyboard, but Andy politely refused, saying it was his pleasure to bring a little Christmas magic. Holding the precious gift tightly, she headed home with a light heart.
The next morning, Aubree woke up and rushed straight into the living room. The moment she saw the keyboard, her eyes widened with wonder and delight. “Santa is real,” she said softly, as if to herself. She sat down and began to play light, cheerful music that filled every corner of the house. Shumaker recorded a short video of her daughter’s happy moment and sent it to Andy, expressing her thanks once more. It was then she truly felt that Christmas magic wasn’t just in stories—it lived in the kindness of people around them.

Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery.
My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’ sacrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.
The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.
To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.
4. What did the author do after hanging up the phone?
A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket.
C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty.
5. Why did the author showcase her strength?
A. To help her mother make a full recovery.
B. To give herself an advantage in promotion.
C. To avoid being seen as weak or incapable by others.
D. To prove that she was more successful than her family.
6. How did some people help the author?
A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is necessary.
C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her.
7. What does the author want to convey in the text?
A. Strength doesn’t mean hiding struggles.
B. Strength gives us more courage to grow.
C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful.
D. Worldly labels block personal development.
C
Every time two people talk to each other, an opportunity for relationship growth is unfolding. Many times, that opportunity isn’t taken; we aren’t about to have an in-depth conversation with the waitress who asks for our order. But connect ion is always theoretically possible, and that’s true whether we’re interacting online or face-to-face.
Close relationships are the bread and butter of happiness — and even health. Lonelines s is a stronger predictor of death rate than smoking multiple cigarettes a day. If we want to understand the role technology plays in our well- being, we need to start with the role it plays in our relationships.
And it turns out that the technology- mediated interactions that lead to positive outcomes are exactly those that are likely to build stronger relationships. Spending your time online by scheduling interactions with people you see day in and day out seems to work out in increased social integration. However, using the Internet to make up for being lonely just makes you lonelier; using the Internet to actively seek out connection has the opposite effect.
Research has found that technology- mediated interactions that don’t really address our close relationships don’t seem to do us any good — and might, in fact, do us harm. Passively scrolling (刷屏) through your Facebook feed without interacting with people has been linked to decreased well- being and increased depression post- Facebook use.
That kind of passive usage is a good example of “social snacking”. Like eating junk food, social snacking can temporarily satisfy you, but it’s lacking in nutritional content. Looking at your friends’ posts without ever responding might make you feel more connected to them, but it doesn’t build relationships.
Passive engagement has a second downside as well: social comparison. When we compare our messy lived experiences to others’ selected self-presentations, we are likely to suffer from lowered self-esteem, happiness, and well- being. This effect is exacerbated when we consume people’s digital lives without interacting with them, making it all too easy to miss the less photogenic moments of their lives.
8. What does the example of the waitress imply?

As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. However, a recent study suggests that wild nature within cities plays a crucial role in our daily lives, offering benefits that beautifully landscaped parks cannot fully replace.
Researchers from the University of Washington studied visitors to Seward Park in Seattle, an area that contains both landscaped sections and wilder, unmaintained forest patches. They found that people who spent time in the wilder portions of the park reported feeling a deeper sense of peace and renewal compared to those who stayed in the manicured (修剪整齐的) areas. The researchers noted that wild nature provides an environment where people can escape the strict order of city life.
Interestingly, the study also revealed that interacting with wild nature can improve our mental function. In the wild forest, people are forced to be more observant—navigating uneven paths and noticing the subtle movements of birds and insects. This active engagement stimulates the brain in ways that simply walking along a paved path does not. Furthermore, natural sounds and sights, such as the rustling of leaves or the flowing of a stream, have been proven to lower stress hormones and restore our focus.
Despite these findings, urban wild spaces are rapidly disappearing. Many city planners view these untidy areas as useless or even unsafe, preferring to replace them with orderly parks or commercial developments. However, the researchers argue that we must recognize the unique value of urban wildness. It is not just about preserving biodiversity; it is about preserving our own well-being. Protecting these wild pockets within our cities is essential for maintaining a healthy human-nature relationship. After all, we are not separate from nature; we are part of it, and our minds and bodies thrive when we allow nature to exist alongside us in its wildest forms.
12. According to the study, what is the advantage of wild nature over landscaped parks?
A. It offers more space for physical exercise.
B. It brings a deeper feeling of peace and renewal.
C. It provides cleaner air and water for citizens.
D. It attracts a wider variety of wild animals.
13. How does interacting with wild nature improve mental function according to paragraph 3?
A. By encouraging active observation and engagement.
B. By providing perfectly paved paths for walking.
C. By offering quiet places for deep thinking.
D. By teaching people how to survive in the wild.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards replacing urban wild spaces with orderly parks?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Ambiguous.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Decline of Urban Green Spaces
B. City Planning: Order Over Wildness
C. How to Design Better City Parks
D. Urban Wild Nature: A Cure for City Life

In today’s digital age, screens are everywhere. From online classes to social media and video games, technology is deeply woven into the daily lives of high school students. While digital devices offer endless convenience and entertainment, spending too much time on them can negatively affect your sleep, mood, and academic performance. ____16____.
● Track your current habits.
Before making changes, you need to know exactly where your time goes. Most smartphones have built-in screen time trackers that show how many hours you spend on specific apps. You might be shocked to discover that you spend three hours a day scrolling through short videos. ____17____. Once you identify the apps that consume most of your time, you can start making conscious decisions to reduce them.
● ____18____
Not all screen time is created equal. Spending two hours researching for a history project is obviously more productive than spending two hours aimlessly browsing social media. When setting your screen time goals, differentiate between necessary and recreational use. You don’t have to cut out technology completely. Instead, aim to limit passive consumption while keeping the active, purposeful use that supports your learning and growth.
● Create tech-free zones.
Another effective way to manage screen time is to establish physical boundaries in your home. Designate certain areas, such as the dining table or your bed, as tech-free zones. When you eat without a phone, you can actually taste your food and connect with your family. Similarly, keeping devices out of the bedroom helps your brain associate the bed with sleep rather than stimulation. ____19____, making it much easier to fall asleep at night.
● Replace screen time with offline activities.
If you simply try to stop using your phone, you will likely feel bored and quickly return to your old habits. The key is to fill the void with engaging real-world activities. Pick up a book that you’ve been meaning to read, go outside for a walk, or spend time practicing a musical instrument. ____20____. By gradually substituting digital entertainment with physical and social activities, you will find that you rely less on screens to pass the time.
A. Focus on quality over quantity.
B. This realization is the first step toward change
C. They will not only enrich your life but also reduce your urge to check your phone
D. However, breaking free from the screen doesn’t mean you have to abandon your phone entirely
E. These boundaries send a clear signal to your brain to wind down
F. Therefore, it is essential to develop healthier screen habits
G. Set reasonable goals for yourself

Secret Santa Saves the Day
It was 1 a.m. on Christmas morning, but for Marisa Shumaker, it was still Christmas Eve. Like so many other parents, she had holiday magic to make. For weeks, her 4-year-old daughter, Aubree, had been asking for one thing only for Christmas: a “real piano keyboard,” not just some simple toy made for little kids.
Now that Aubree was asleep, Marisa pulled the box from its hiding spot, ready to set up the 61-key keyboard with full-size keys—perfect for serious beginners like Aubree. She planned to put together the stand and bench, setting everything up so it would be ready to play when Aubree woke up. But when she opened the box, only the stand and bench were inside. No keyboard.
Panic overtook her as she realized she’d missed that the keyboard was sold separately.
The night before, they’d watched The Santa Clause, where characters talked about never-received gifts that made them doubt Santa. That scene kept replaying in her mind, and she was afraid Aubree would feel terribly disappointed. She checked online delivery options and nearby stores, but there was no way to get a keyboard in time.
Desperate, Marisa posted in a neighborhood Facebook group: “I’m about to cry. I’m so devastated (伤心欲绝的) this will ruin her Christmas.”
Andy Spencer, who lived 5 miles away, saw her plea just before 2 a.m. “Any parent would panic,” he thought. He remembered his daughter Hailey hardly ever used the keyboard they’d bought her two years earlier. He immediately contacted Marisa, and they arranged to meet at a grocery store across from her home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Marisa waited anxiously at the grocery store, not knowing what to expect.

The next morning, Aubree woke up and rushed straight into the living room.
