One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. Finally he planted the tree in his woods where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died. Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily. “If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit.” “Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.

Haofang School This kind of Ci mainly deals with national things and expresses great ambition（抱负）, often written as prose poetry（散文诗）. The first poet of Haofang School was Su Shi. Su Shi and Xin Qiji were widely known as the leading poets of this school. Most of their poems expressed their desire to return to the north and rebuild their country. They showed their powerful feelings. They also put their own future and the whole nation’s future together. Although poets of this school wrote in this style, they sometimes wrote soft poems. Wanyue School Ci of this school mainly shows true love or parting sadness. It expresses one’s feelings in beautiful and musical language. Many poets were famous for writing this style of Ci, especially Liu Yong and Li Qingzhao. It should be introduced that poets of this school also cared deeply about their countries, and they often expressed their feelings in a personal way. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（5分） 31. When did Ci develop? A.

This habit can erode（侵蚀）our focus and decrease our productivity. Reclaiming control over your screen time is essential for mental clarity. Start by becoming aware: use your phone’s built-in screen time tracker to see where your hours are really going. Set specific, achievable goals, like reducing entertainment app use by 15minutes each day. Designate “phone-free zones,” such as the dinner table and your bedroom, to create spaces for undisturbed（不受打扰的）connection and rest. More importantly, replace the digital habit with a real-world one. When you feel the urge to scroll, pick up a book, stretch, or have a brief conversation instead. This isn’t about abolishing（废除）technology, but about building a healthier, more intentional relationship with it. By curating your digital diet, you can reclaim your time and attention for activities that are truly nourishing and fulfilling. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（5分） 36. What is “digital junk food” compared to in the passage? A. Healthy and nutritious meals. B. Reading long articles online. C. Mindless scrolling through short videos and social media. D. Using educational apps for learning. 37. What is the first step suggested to manage screen time? A. Immediately deleting all social media apps. B. Becoming aware of your usage through a screen time tracker. C. Buying a new phone with better controls. D. Stopping the use of the internet completely. 38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce screen time? A. Setting specific time reduction goals. B. Creating phone-free zones. C. Replacing the habit with a real-world activity. D. Throwing your smartphone away. 39. What is the ultimate goal of managing your “digital diet”? A. To have a healthier and more intentional relationship with technology. B. To never use a smartphone again. C. To spend more money on digital devices. D. To become a professional app developer. 40. The word “curating” in the last paragraph most likely means ______. A. deleting carelessly B. managing carefully C. ignoring completely D. expanding rapidly （D） In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will trouble them. At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（续杯）. Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. Serving（一份）in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”.（剩菜打包）It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself. Tips are not usually added to the bill. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip（小费）of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a bill is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change. Always remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正（T）、误（F）。（5分） 41. If you are sitting at a table with strangers, it is polite to light up a cigarette. 42. Most cities and towns usually make rules about opening and closing time for bars. 43. If you can’t finish your meal, you could ask the waiter for a “doggie bag”. 44. Tips are usually added to the bill and are included in the price of the meal. 45. In some restaurants, a bill is brought on a plate and you put your money on the table. （E） The Art of Active Listening In a world full of noise, being a good listener is a superpower. Active listening is more than just hearing words; it’s about fully comprehending（理解）the message and making the speaker feel valued. 46 Put away your phone, make eye contact, and focus on the speaker. This shows respect and helps you catch non-verbal cues. 47 Avoid the temptation to interrupt with your own story or advice. Let them finish their thought completely. 48 Briefly paraphrase（改述）what you heard in your own words, like, “So, if I understand correctly, you’re feeling frustrated because...” This confirms your understanding and shows you are engaged. 49 Ask open-ended questions that begin with “How,” “What,” or “Could you tell me more about…” to encourage deeper sharing. 50 Mastering these steps can transform your conversations, build stronger relationships, and resolve conflicts more effectively. 根据短文内容，把下列五个选项的句子还原到短文中，使短文意思完整。（5分） A. Then, practice reflective listening. B. First, give the speaker your undivided attention. C. Finally, know when to offer advice and when just to listen. D. Furthermore, use questions to show interest and clarify points. E. Second, hold back from interrupting and be patient. （F） Du Fu, one of the greatest poets in China, is well-known to most of us. However, Du Fu remains unknown to many Western people. Thanks to a recent documentary Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet which was directed by Michael Wood, a British historian, they have a chance to know more about Du Fu. As the first English-language documentary about Du, it compares him to William Shakespeare, one of the greatest writers of the West. In the BBC’s one-hour documentary the British historian visited a number of places connected with Du Fu. Michael Wood first visited Henan Province, the poet’s birth place. The people there told many fascinating stories of Du Fu. He also visited Du Fu Thatched Cottage（杜甫草堂）in Chengdu, Sichuan, where people can know more about the poet. The documentary also includes works of Du that were read by a famous British actor Sir Ian McKellen. He is known for performing Shakespeare’s works. The documentary explains why Du’s poems have been popular for centuries. It is because Du’s poems give us a closer look at history. Du lived during the Tang Dynasty and worked for the emperor called Tang Xuanzong. At first, the country was rich and peaceful. But the war happened later and it caused huge problems for the whole country. Du Fu felt sad about the rulers of the government. He also went through ups and downs in his own life, but the poet never stopped pouring out his care for his country and people in his poems. Du Fu is known as “the saint of poet” in China. He wrote about 1,235poems that are still with us today. These poems have been translated into English, which is expected to help Du Fu’s works reach more readers. 根据短文内容，回答问题。（10分） 51. Who directed the documentary about Du Fu? 52. Where was Du Fu born? 53. Why have Du Fu’s poems been popular for centuries? 54. How did Du Fu feel about the rulers after the war happened? 55.

A new study shows that 61. ______（use）screens too much can affect（影响）how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the 62. ______（develop）of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut 63. ______ the time of children using all kinds of screens. Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep.

Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you 65. ______（excite）before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep.

I was asked to stay at home and take care of the house. I nodded. Everything turned out fine: I ordered food on the phone. I was careful with everything. I fed Dad’s fish and watered Mom’s plants... I got lonely several times and scared at night, but I didn’t call my parents—I turned on the TV and tried talking with “someone”... Two days finally passed. When my parents returned home on Sunday night, they hugged me and praised me a lot. I was so proud of myself and decided to make the most of my life from then on. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
