About a year ago, my mother turned on the dishwasher and went to the airport to drop off my father who was headed overseas on a work trip. By the time she got back, there was water all over the kitchen floor. We called a repairman, only to be told the dishwasher would have to be replaced. A new one was ordered but it would not arrive for more than a month. As my mother had a tight schedule, I had no choice but to take on the task of washing dishes by hand after dinner.
I soon found myself faced with a pile of thankless dishes in the sink, urging me to get on with it and deliver on my duty. At the beginning, I was annoyed when doing the dishes. I was in a rush to be done with them since I had an endless list of things to finish as a high school student taking a tough course load. Gradually, I realized that, for about 15 minutes every day, I could slow down time and forget everything in the world as my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success.
We did finally get the new dishwasher placed. However, I continued to wash dishes by hand after dinner, perplexing my mother a lot.
Washing dishes by hand has been more educational than I could have ever imagined. I’m running around stressed most of the day. There are homework assignments, projects, quizzes and tests competing for my attention and time. I’ve caged myself in a prison of my ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.
However, standing at the same spot every day in front of the kitchen window washing dishes has allowed me to recover some of it. My mind has taken snap-shots of the changing view over the yard outside the kitchen window and meditated(沉思,冥想) on the passage of time in this sliver of the universe in front of me.
24.Why did the author start washing dishes by hand?
A.The old dishwasher broke down. B.His mother requested him to do so.
C.He attempted to please his father. D.The new dishwasher was over budget.
25.What did the author think of dish-washing initially?
A.It was a stress-reliever. B.It was complicated.
C.It was a money-saver. D.It was burdensome.
26.What does the underlined word “perplexing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Offending. B.Puzzling. C.Discouraging. D.Inspiring.
27.What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?
A.He grew more sensitive to the beauty of nature.
B.He regretted devoting too much time to study.
C.He decided to abandon some of his ambitions.
D.He desired to move to a house with a larger yard.
C
Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior informed by recent information. However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences.
One new study employs AI in innovative ways to better understand this process. By using tiny artificial neural networks, the researchers’ work clarifies in detail what drives an individual’s actual choices.
“Instead of assuming how brains should learn in bettering our decisions, we developed an alternative approach to discover how individual brains actually learn to make decisions,” explains Mattar, a professor in New York University. “This approach functions like a detective, uncovering how decisions are actually made by animals and humans. By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.”
“Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School. “For example, they can predict which movie you would like to watch next. However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models employ to make their predictions — such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. By training the simplest versions of these AI models to predict animals’ choices and analyzing their dynamics using methods from physics, we can throw light on their inner workings in more easily understandable terms.”
Understanding how animals and humans learn from experience to make decisions is not only a primary goal in the sciences, but, more broadly, useful in the fields of business, government, and technology. However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior.
“Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar.
28.What can be inferred about traditional decision-making models?
A.They are consistent with real-life decision behavior.
B.They pay much attention to individual differences.
C.They ignore choices that are not the best.
D.They use AI-based methods.
29.What is special about the new study?
A.Using tiny neural networks. B.Analyzing past experiences.
C.Predicting movie preferences. D.Revisiting conventional frameworks.
30.What does Benna mean concerning large neural networks?
A.They lack predictive accuracy.
B.Their strategies are hard to interpret.
C.They outperform tiny networks in research.
D.They revolutionize decision-making studies.
31.What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research?
A.Cautiously skeptical. B.Indifferently neutral.
C.Strongly supportive. D.Mildly critical.
D
People’s noses get colder when they’re feeling stressed, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sussex, in England, looked at the temperature of people’s faces to see if it changed when they were nervous or under pressure.
Professor Gillian Forrester, who studies brains and behaviour at the University of Sussex, led the study. She recorded 29 people with a thermal imaging camera (热成像仪) to see what happened when they were stressed. First, the volunteers listened to white noise (quiet background sound that sounds a bit like a waterfall) for five minutes to make them calm. Then they had to perform two tasks in front of a silent group of strangers. They had to give an unintended presentation and they had to do maths in their head and say their answers out loud.
From the results of the study, it was found that people’s nose temperature drops by between 3°C and 6°C when they are under pressure. This is because the blood in their faces goes to their ears and eyes, which are important senses for detecting danger. The researchers were able to see change in blood flow on the thermal imaging camera because places that were warmer had more blood. Once the stress was over, the blood in people’s faces returned to where it usually was within a few minutes.
Forrester said that the length of time it takes someone’s nose to recover its temperature could be a measure of how well they manage their stress. This would be useful to know. Forrester asked, “If they bounce back unusually slowly, could that be a risk marker of anxiety or depression?”
Humans aren’t the only ones who could benefit from this knowledge. Stress also changes the blood flow in the faces of animals that are closely related to humans, such as apes. Researchers hope that thermal cameras could help them to look after rescued animals in ape shelters.
“They can’t say how they’re feeling and they can be quite good at masking how they’re feeling.” said Marianne Paisley, who studies ape wellbeing at the University of Sussex. The temperature of an ape’s face could help people understand how they are feeling and how to make them feel better too. For example, the team has found that showing adult apes a video of baby apes calmed them down. When the adult animals watched the video on a screen, their noses slowly warmed up.
32.In Forrester’s study, what did the volunteers do before taking part in potentially stressful tasks?
A.They solved some arithmetic problems mentally.
B.They learned how to use a thermal imaging camera.
C.They reached a calm state by listening to white noise.
D.They gave an unprepared speech in front of strangers.
33.The underlined word “masking” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.strengthening B.expressing C.hiding D.controlling
34.What does Forrester think of nose temperature recover y time?
A.It may reflect stress management ability.
B.It may have nothing to do with anxiety level.
C.It may not be as useful as previously expected.
D.It may help people to know better about animals.
35.Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A.Researchers have found effective ways to reduce stress in humans and apes.
B.Stress has a great influence on the blood temperature in human and ape faces.
C.A new study shows nose temperature can be used to detect stress levels.
D.Thermal cameras have been widely used to care for rescued apes in shelters.

Finding Your Soul Circle: How to Attract Lifelong Friendships
Ever notice how life feels lighter when you’re surrounded by people who get you? They share your values, which makes decisions feel less heavy. They encourage your growth and cheer you on. 36 That’s the magic of a soul circle. It means a circle of similar spirits who match your energy and help you rise.
Building these connections isn’t about luck. 37 And it allows the right people to flow into your life. Finding your circle starts with knowing yourself and practicing core values. Like-minded people will naturally move toward the energy you put out into the world.
Pursuing your passions is a great way to meet like-minded people. Whether you enjoy reading a good book, or deepening your Tai Chi practice, you can find plenty of clubs, or meetup groups with those enjoying the same things as you. 38 So, sign up for that next yoga class, or book club. You never know who you’ll meet!
39 Sure, it can be scary at first to share your personal side. But if you do this in a healthy, organic way, with time, you will create strong, long-lasting friendships built on trust, honesty, and genuine connections.
A one-sided friendship isn’t a real friendship. Friendships require mutual support. 40 Take the time to listen to others with empathy, rather than just talk about yourself. Show up for your friends, whether in times of celebration or hardship. Demonstrate an interest in their well-being by checking in from time to time. When you find your soul circle, you’ll notice your friends showing up for you in return.
A.Turn to your close friends for help constantly.
B.It’s about staying in line with who you truly are.
C.Most of all, they remind you that you’re not alone.
D.Of course, long-lasting friendships make you feel lighter.
E.You’ll have to make the effort to build solid relationships.
F.To find your circle, you should be willing to open your heart.
G.More likely than not, the shared thing helps build lifelong friendships.

For most of my life, my family history felt like a book with missing chapters. The few stories my father remembered seemed incomplete. I had accepted that some 41 were just too difficult to determine.
However, everything changed last winter, when a small museum in Wales contacted me 42 . A volunteer sorting through donated items had 43 an envelope inside an old suitcase. Inside it lay a 44 dated 1904, addressed to a girl named Lydia Davies. The message, written in careful handwriting, read, “For when you feel lonely. — E”. The museum wondered whether I might be 45 .
A month later, when I arrived at the museum, the volunteer 46 the postcard in my hands. The paper was thin and worn, but the handwriting remained 47 . On the front was a watercolor of a seaside village, the same village my father had once 48 in a story.
As I studied it, a woman stepped into the room. She 49 herself as Megan, a local history teacher who had been researching her own 50 . She smiled and said, “I believe your ‘E’ might be my great-grandmother Emily.”
Together, we 51 the letters, marriage records, and faded photographs in the suitcase together. Gradually, just like a puzzle taking shape bit by bit, a common family story 52 : Lydia and Emily had been sisters, making Megan and me distant cousins. The postcard, 53 for a young girl a century before, finally 54 her family member.
That small item had just crossed oceans and centuries and had bridged the gaps in our hearts, proving that no chapter of our story is ever truly 55 .

The first time I noticed Mr. Alvarez, he was sitting alone in the courtyard of Maplewood Orphanage, both hands resting on a wooden cane (拐杖), his eyes lifted toward the sky crowded with slow-moving clouds.
I had gone there to fulfill my school’s community service requirement. In my mind, the work would be routine — sweeping floors, sorting donated goods, or helping with meals. I did not expect to meet an elderly man whose favorite subject was flight.
One afternoon, as I packed toys into cardboard boxes, he told me, “I’m 82 years old now. I used to work as a mechanic. I repaired airplanes.” A faint smile crossed his face. “But I never had the chance to fly one myself.” I found myself at a loss for words. It sounded like something drawn from a story — graceful in tone, yet painfully distant from reality.
From then on, I began to notice him more often. Whenever I passed the courtyard, he was usually there, sketching in an old notebook. Most of the drawings were aircraft — some clearly based on real machines, others shaped by imagination alone. One day, curiosity overcame my hesitation. “Are you still working on new designs?” I asked. He looked up and replied softly, “Only in thought. Dreams do not retire; they simply wait for someone willing to listen.”
That night, his words refused to leave my mind — Dreams do not retire. The idea of a man who had devoted his life to repairing wings but had never touched the clouds impressed me as deeply unjust. By the following afternoon, I had made up my mind to try to help him. I wrote to every small airport of our town, explaining his story and asking whether a short flight might be possible. The replies arrived one by one, polite but disappointing. “Our policy does not permit passengers of his age.” “Insurance will not cover non-paying guests.” “Our schedule is full for months.” By evening, my inbox felt like a collection of closed doors.
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。
Refusing to give up, I decided to pay a personal visit to all the airports.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the big day, Mr. Alvarez and I stood happily beside a plane.

【答案】17.A 18.C 19.A 20.C
【原文】M: Hello, everyone. Today, I’ll talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity. I hope you can find it useful. First, using color in an office can inspire creative thinking. Different colors can affect mood and energy levels. For example, blues and greens are calming and help create a peaceful environment. Second, offering a playroom where employees can take a break can relieve stress and allow workers to reset. A dedicated space for relaxation and interaction can also spark new ideas. Casual conversations often lead to creative solutions. Then let’s turn to lighting. Lighting is also important. If it is too dark, workers can feel sleepy; if it is too bright, it can make them feel anxious. Allowing more natural light into the office can increase productivity and uplift moods. If natural light is limited, using light bulbs can also be helpful. A clean space can make a big difference in how employees feel. Focus on keeping the office organized and make sure there's enough open space. When the office feels tidy, workers are more likely to feel relaxed and focused, which can promote clear thinking.

About a year ago, my mother turned on the dishwasher and went to the airport to drop off my father who was headed overseas on a work trip. By the time she got back, there was water all over the kitchen floor. We called a repairman, only to be told the dishwasher would have to be replaced. A new one was ordered but it would not arrive for more than a month. As my mother had a tight schedule, I had no choice but to take on the task of washing dishes by hand after dinner.
I soon found myself faced with a pile of thankless dishes in the sink, urging me to get on with it and deliver on my duty. At the beginning, I was annoyed when doing the dishes. I was in a rush to be done with them since I had an endless list of things to finish as a high school student taking a tough course load. Gradually, I realized that, for about 15 minutes every day, I could slow down time and forget everything in the world as my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success.
We did finally get the new dishwasher placed. However, I continued to wash dishes by hand after dinner, perplexing my mother immensely.
Washing dishes by hand has been more educational than I could have ever imagined. I’m running around stressed most of the day. There are homework assignments, projects, quizzes and tests competing for my attention and time. I’ve caged myself in a prison of my ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.
However, standing at the same spot every day in front of the kitchen window washing dishes has allowed me to recover some of it. My mind has taken snap-shots of the changing view over the yard outside the kitchen window and meditated on the passage of time in this sliver of the universe in front of me.
24.Why did the author start washing dishes by hand?
A.The old dishwasher broke down. B.His mother requested him to do so.
C.He attempted to please his father. D.The new dishwasher was over budget.
25.What did the author think of dish-washing initially?
A.It was a stress-reliever. B.It was complicated.
C.It was a money-saver. D.It was burdensome.
26.What does the underlined word “perplexing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Offending. B.Puzzling. C.Discouraging. D.Inspiring.
27.What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?
A.He grew more sensitive to the beauty of nature.
B.He regretted devoting too much time to study.
C.He decided to abandon some of his ambitions.
D.He desired to move to a house with a larger yard.
【答案】24.A 25.D 26.B 27.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因洗碗机故障而开始手洗碗碟,从最初觉得麻烦到后来将其视为一种放松和思考的时间,最终在洗碗的过程中获得了内心的平静和对生活的感悟。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段中“We called a repairman, only to be told the dishwasher would have to be replaced. A new one was ordered but it would not arrive for more than a month. As my mother had a tight schedule, I had no choice but to take on the task of washing dishes by hand after dinner. (我们叫了修理工,却被告知洗碗机必须更换。我们订购了一台新的,但需要一个多月才能到货。由于母亲日程紧张,我别无选择,只好承担起晚饭后手洗碗碟的任务)”可知,作者开始手洗碗碟是因为旧洗碗机坏了。故选A项。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中“At the beginning, I was annoyed when doing the dishes. I was in a rush to be done with them since I had an endless list of things to finish as a high school student taking a tough course load. (刚开始,我洗碗时感到很恼火。我急于尽快洗完,因为作为一名课业繁重的高中生,我有做不完的事情)”可知,作者最初认为洗碗是一件令人厌烦的负担。故选D项。
26.词句猜测题。根据第三段中“We did finally get the new dishwasher placed. However, I continued to wash dishes by hand after dinner, perplexing my mother immensely. (我们终于把新洗碗机安放好了。然而,我晚饭后继续手洗碗碟,这让母亲perplexing不已)”可知,尽管新洗碗机已经安装到位,但作者却仍坚持手洗,这种行为与常理不符,会让母亲感到“困惑”。故划线词perplexing意为“使困惑”,与“Puzzling”同义。故选B项。
27.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“I’ve caged myself in a prison of my ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.(我把自己囚禁在野心和期望的监狱里,与世界的许多方面隔绝了)”和最后一段中“However, standing at the same spot every day in front of the kitchen window washing dishes has allowed me to recover some of it. My mind has taken snap-shots of the changing view over the yard outside the kitchen window and meditated on the passage of time in this sliver of the universe in front of me. (然而,每天站在厨房窗前同一个位置洗碗,让我找回了一部分这样的联系。我的脑海中捕捉着厨房窗外院子景色的变化,沉思着眼前这一方天地里时间的流逝)”可知,作者每天站在厨房窗前同一个位置洗碗,脑海中捕捉着厨房窗外院子景色的变化,对自然之美变得更加敏感。故选A项。
C
Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior informed by recent information. However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences.
One new study employs AI in innovative ways to better understand this process. By using tiny artificial neural networks, the researchers’ work illuminates in detail what drives an individual’s actual choices.
“Instead of assuming how brains should learn in bettering our decisions, we developed an alternative approach to discover how individual brains actually learn to make decisions,” explains Mattar, a professor in New York University. “This approach functions like a detective, uncovering how decisions are actually made by animals and humans. By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.”
“Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School. “For example, they can predict which movie you would like to watch next. However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models employ to make their predictions — such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. By training the simplest versions of these AI models to predict animals’ choices and analyzing their dynamics using methods from physics, we can throw light on their inner workings in more easily understandable terms.”
Understanding how animals and humans learn from experience to make decisions is not only a primary goal in the sciences, but, more broadly, useful in the fields of business, government, and technology. However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior.
“Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar.
28.What can be inferred about traditional decision-making models?
A.They are consistent with real-life decision behavior.
B.They pay much attention to individual differences.
C.They ignore choices that are not the best,
D.They use AI-based methods.
29.What is special about the new study?
A.Using tiny neural networks. B.Analyzing past experiences.
C.Predicting movie preferences. D.Revisiting conventional frameworks.
30.What does Benna mean concerning large neural networks?
A.They lack predictive accuracy.
B.Their strategies are hard to interpret.
C.They outperform tiny networks in research.
D.They revolutionize decision-making studies.
31.What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research?
A.Cautiously skeptical. B.Indifferently neutral.
C.Strongly supportive. D.Mildly critical.
【答案】28.C 29.A 30.B 31.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项利用微型人工神经网络研究人类和动物决策过程的新研究。该研究通过创新性地使用AI技术,揭示了传统决策模型所忽视的个体差异和实际决策策略。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段“However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences.(然而,理解这些行为的传统框架可能忽视了决策的某些现实,因为它们假设我们在考虑过去经验后会做出最佳决策)”以及倒数第二段“However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior.(然而,现有模型旨在描述最佳决策,往往无法获得现实行为)”可推知,传统决策模型忽视了非最佳选择的情况。故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.(通过使用微型神经网络——小到可以被理解,但强大到足以捕捉复杂行为——我们发现了科学家几十年来忽视的决策策略)”可知,这项新研究的特别之处在于使用了微型神经网络。故选A。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段““Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School.(“人工智能中所使用的大型神经网络在预测方面表现非常出色,”加州大学圣地亚哥分校的贝纳教授说道)”及“However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models employ to make their predictions — such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. (然而,简单地描述这些复杂的机器学习模型采用什么策略来进行预测非常具有挑战性——比如为什么它们认为你会更喜欢一部电影而不是另一部)”可推知,Benna认为大型神经网络的策略难以解释。故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段““Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar.(“正如研究个体在身体特征方面的差异为医学带来了变革一样,了解个体在决策策略方面的差异也能够改变我们对心理健康和认知功能的处理方式,”Mattar总结道)”可知,Mattar将这项研究比作改变医学的个体化研究,并对其潜在影响给予高度评价,表明他对新研究持强烈支持态度。故选C。

People’s noses get colder when they’re feeling stressed, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sussex, in England, looked at the temperature of people’s faces to see if it changed when they were nervous or under pressure.
Professor Gillian Forrester, who studies brains and behaviour at the University of Sussex, led the study. She recorded 29 people with a thermal imaging camera (热成像仪) to see what happened when they were stressed. First, the volunteers listened to white noise (quiet background sound that sounds a bit like a waterfall) for five minutes to make them calm. Then they had to perform two tasks in front of a silent group of strangers. They had to give an unintended presentation and they had to do maths in their head and say their answers out loud.
From the results of the study, it was found that people’s nose temperature drops by between 3°C and 6°C when they are under pressure. This is because the blood in their faces goes to their ears and eyes, which are important senses for detecting danger. The researchers were able to see change in blood flow on the thermal imaging camera because places that were warmer had more blood. Once the stress was over, the blood in people’s faces returned to where it usually was within a few minutes.
Forrester said that the length of time it takes someone’s nose to recover its temperature could be a measure of how well they manage their stress. This would be useful to know. Forrester asked, “If they bounce back unusually slowly, could that be a risk marker of anxiety or depression?”
Humans aren’t the only ones who could benefit from this knowledge. Stress also changes the blood flow in the faces of animals that are closely related to humans, such as apes. Researchers hope that thermal cameras could help them to look after rescued animals in ape shelters.
“They can’t say how they’re feeling and they can be quite good at masking how they’re feeling.” said Marianne Paisley, who studies ape wellbeing at the University of Sussex. The temperature of an ape’s face could help people understand how they are feeling and how to make them feel better too. For example, the team has found that showing adult apes a video of baby apes calmed them down. When the adult animals watched the video on a screen, their noses slowly warmed up.
32.In Forrester’s study, what did the volunteers do before taking part in potentially stressful tasks?
A.They solved some arithmetic problems mentally.
B.They learned how to use a thermal imaging camera.
C.They reached a calm state by listening to white noise.
D.They gave an unprepared speech in front of strangers.
33.The underlined word “masking” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.strengthening B.expressing C.hiding D.controlling
34.What does Forrester think of nose temperature recover y time?
A.It may reflect stress management ability.
B.It may have nothing to do with anxiety level.
C.It may not be as useful as previously expected.
D.It may help people to know better about animals.
35.Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A.Researchers have found effective ways to reduce stress in humans and apes.
B.Stress has a great influence on the blood temperature in human and ape faces.
C.A new study shows nose temperature can be used to detect stress levels.
D.Thermal cameras have been widely used to care for rescued apes in shelters.
【答案】32.C 33.C 34.A 35.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新研究发现人受压时鼻子会降温,压力结束后可快速恢复。鼻温恢复时长能反映抗压能力,该发现也可用于判断猿类情绪、照料保护动物。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段“First, the volunteers listened to white noise (quiet background sound that sounds a bit like a waterfall) for five minutes to make them calm.(首先,志愿者们聆听了一段白噪音(一种类似瀑布般安静的背景声音),持续了五分钟,以帮助他们放松下来)”可知,在福雷斯特的研究中,志愿者在参与可能带来压力的任务之前,通过聆听白噪音进入了一种平静的状态。故选C。
33.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They can’t say how they’re feeling and they can be quite good at(它们无法表达自己的感受,而且它们在……方面很擅长)”可知,上文They指代的是动物,即动物无法诉说情绪,擅长隐藏感受,故划线词意思是“隐藏”。故选C。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段“Forrester said that the length of time it takes someone’s nose to recover its temperature could be a measure of how well they manage their stress.(福雷斯特表示,一个人的鼻子恢复原有温度所需的时间,可以作为衡量其应对压力能力的一个指标)”可知,福雷斯特认为鼻部温度恢复所需时间或许能反映个体的应激管理能力。故选A。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“People’s noses get colder when they’re feeling stressed, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sussex, in England, looked at the temperature of people’s faces to see if it changed when they were nervous or under pressure.(一项新研究表明,人在感到紧张时,鼻子会变冷。来自英国萨塞克斯大学的研究人员通过观察人们的面部温度,来探究他们在紧张或面临压力时面部温度是否会发生变化)”结合文章主要说明了一项新研究发现人受压时鼻子会降温,压力结束后可快速恢复。鼻温恢复时长能反映抗压能力,该发现也可用于判断猿类情绪、照料保护动物。可知,文章主要说明了一项新的研究表明,鼻部温度可以用来检测压力水平。故选C。
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。
Finding Your Soul Circle: How to Attract Lifelong Friendships
Ever notice how life feels lighter when you’re surrounded by people who get you? They share your values, which makes decisions feel less heavy. They encourage your growth and cheer you on. 36 That’s the magic of a soul circle. It means a circle of similar spirits who match your energy and help you rise.
Building these connections isn’t about luck. 37 And it allows the right people to flow into your life. Finding your circle starts with knowing yourself and practicing core values. Like-minded people will naturally move toward the energy you put out into the world.
Pursuing your passions is a great way to meet like-minded people. Whether you enjoy reading a good book, or deepening your Tai Chi practice, you can find plenty of clubs, or meetup groups with those enjoying the same things as you. 38 So, sign up for that next yoga class, or book club. You never know who you’ll meet!
39 Sure, it can be scary at first to share your personal side. But if you do this in a healthy, organic way, with time, you will create strong, long-lasting friendships built on trust, honesty, and genuine connections.
A one-sided friendship isn’t a real friendship. Friendships require mutual support. 40 Take the time to listen to others with empathy, rather than just talk about yourself. Show up for your friends,whether in times of celebration or hardship. Demonstrate an interest in their well-being by checking in from time to time. When you find your soul circle, you’ll notice your friends showing up for you in return.
A.Turn to your close friends for help constantly.
B.It’s about staying in line with who you truly are.
C.Most of all, they remind you that you’re not alone.
D.Of course, long-lasting friendships make you feel lighter.
E.You’ll have to make the effort to build solid relationships.
F.To find your circle, you should be willing to open your heart.
G.More likely than not, the shared thing helps build lifelong friendships.
【答案】36.C 37.B 38.G 39.F 40.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何收获终生友谊。
36.根据上文“Ever notice how life feels lighter when you’re surrounded by people who get you? They share your values, which makes decisions feel less heavy. They encourage your growth and cheer you on.(你是否发现,当身边围绕着懂你的人时,生活都会变得轻松?他们与你价值观相通,让做决定不再那么艰难。他们鼓励你成长,为你喝彩。)”和下文“That’s the magic of a soul circle.(这就是灵魂圈子的魔力。)”可知,上文连续列举了挚友带来的积极影响,此空承接上文,进一步补充挚友的意义,C选项 “最重要的是,他们让你知道你并不孤单” 符合语境,与下文灵魂圈子的定义相呼应。故选C。
37.根据上文“Building these connections isn’t about luck.(建立这种情谊靠的不是运气。)”和下文“And it allows the right people to flow into your life. Finding your circle starts with knowing yourself and practicing core values. Like-minded people will naturally move toward the energy you put out into the world.(而这会让对的人走进你的生活。找到属于你的圈子,始于认清自我、坚守核心价值观。志同道合的人,自然会被你展现出的精神状态所吸引。)”可知,上文表明建立这种关系不靠运气,下文说明这能让对的人走进生活。选项B“关键在于做真实的自己”,与上文“不是靠运气”形成转折呼应,同时对应下文“认清自己、坚守核心价值观”的内容。故选B。
38.根据上文“Whether you enjoy reading a good book, or deepening your Tai Chi practice, you can find plenty of clubs, or meetup groups with those enjoying the same things as you.( 无论你喜欢品读好书,还是精进太极技艺,都能找到众多俱乐部或聚会小组,结识志同道合的伙伴。)”和下文“So, sign up for that next yoga class, or book club. You never know who you’ll meet!(所以,去报名下一节瑜伽课或者读书俱乐部吧,你永远不知道会遇见谁!)”可知,上文讲述通过爱好社团结识同好,下文建议参与相关活动,G选项“通常来说,共同的爱好有助于建立终身友谊”承接爱好交友的话题,解释其作用。故选G。
39.根据下文“Sure, it can be scary at first to share your personal side. But if you do this in a healthy, organic way, with time, you will create strong, long-lasting friendships built on trust, honesty, and genuine connections.(诚然,起初袒露内心或许会让人胆怯。但只要以健康、自然的方式去分享,久而久之,你就能建立起以信任、真诚和真心联结为基础的牢固且长久的友谊。)”可知,下文提及分享自我、建立基于信任的友谊,F选项“要找到你的圈子,你要愿意敞开心扉”总领本段,是该段的主旨句。故选F。
40.根据上文“A one-sided friendship isn’t a real friendship. Friendships require mutual support.(单方面付出的友谊算不上真正的友谊。友谊需要相互扶持。)”和下文“Take the time to listen to others with empathy, rather than just talk about yourself. Show up for your friends, whether in times of celebration or hardship. Demonstrate an interest in their well-being by checking in from time to time. When you find your soul circle, you’ll notice your friends showing up for you in return. (设身处地地倾听他人,而非一味谈论自己。无论朋友欢庆还是困顿,都陪伴在侧。时常问候,表达对他们近况的关心。当你找到灵魂圈子,你会发现朋友们也会同样回馈于你。)”可知,上文指出友谊需要相互支持,下文具体列举了倾听、陪伴朋友等维系友谊的做法。选项E“你必须付出努力去建立稳固的关系”,承接“相互支持”的观点,引出后文维系友谊的具体行动。故选E。
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,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
For most of my life, my family history felt like a book with missing chapters. The few stories my father remembered seemed incomplete. I had accepted that some 41 were just too difficult to determine.
However, everything changed last winter, when a small museum in Wales contacted me 42 . A volunteer sorting through donated items had 43 an envelope inside an old suitcase. Inside it lay a 44 dated 1904, addressed to a girl named Lydia Davies. The message, written in careful handwriting, read, “For when you feel lonely. — E”. The museum wondered whether I might be 45 .
A month later, when I arrived at the museum, the volunteer 46 the postcard in my hands. The paper was thin and worn, but the handwriting remained 47 . On the front was a watercolor of a seaside village, the same village my father had once 48 in a story.
As I studied it, a woman stepped into the room. She 49 herself as Megan, a local history teacher who had been researching her own 50 . She smiled and said, “I believe your ‘E’ might be my great-grandmother Emily.”
Together, we 51 the letters, marriage records, and faded photographs in the suitcase together. Gradually, just like a puzzle taking shape bit by bit, a common family story 52 : Lydia and Emily had been sisters, making Megan and me distant cousins. The postcard, 53 for a young girl a century before, finally 54 her family member.
That small item had just crossed oceans and centuries and had bridged the gaps in our hearts, proving that no chapter of our story is ever truly 55 .

第二节(满分25分)
67.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。
The first time I noticed Mr. Alvarez, he was sitting alone in the courtyard of Maplewood Orphanage, both hands resting on a wooden cane (拐杖), his eyes lifted toward the sky crowded with slow-moving clouds.
I had gone there to fulfill my school’s community service requirement. In my mind, the work would be routine — sweeping floors, sorting donated goods, or helping with meals. I did not expect to meet an elderly man whose favorite subject was flight.
One afternoon, as I packed toys into cardboard boxes, he told me, “I’m 82 years old now. I used to work as a mechanic. I repaired airplanes.” A faint smile crossed his face. “But I never had the chance to fly one myself.” I found myself at a loss for words. It sounded like something drawn from a story — graceful in tone, yet painfully distant from reality.
From then on, I began to notice him more often. Whenever I passed the courtyard, he was usually there, sketching in an old notebook. Most of the drawings were aircraft — some clearly based on real machines, others shaped by imagination alone. One day, curiosity overcame my hesitation. “Are you still working on new designs?” I asked. He looked up and replied softly, “Only in thought. Dreams do not retire; they simply wait for someone willing to listen.”
That night, his words refused to leave my mind — Dreams do not retire. The idea of a man who had devoted his life to repairing wings but had never touched the clouds impressed me as deeply unjust. By the following afternoon, I had made up my mind to try to help him. I wrote to every small airport of our town, explaining his story and asking whether a short flight might be possible. The replies arrived one by one, polite but disappointing. “Our policy does not permit passengers of his age.” “Insurance will not cover non-paying guests.” “Our schedule is full for months.” By evening, my inbox felt like a collection of closed doors.
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。
Refusing to give up, I decided to pay a personal visit to all the airports.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the big day, Mr. Alvarez and I stood happily beside a plane.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Refusing to give up, I decided to pay a personal visit to all the airports. I took Mr. Alvarez’s sketchbook with me, showing his carefully drawn aircraft to every manager I met. I told them his lifelong dream of flying and how he had devoted his life to repairing planes. Finally, at the smallest airport on the edge of town, a kind manager was moved. He said he had a small private plane and would take Mr. Alvarez for a short flight for free. I could hardly contain my excitement and rushed back to tell Mr. Alvarez the good news, which made the old man’s eyes fill with tears.
On the big day, Mr. Alvarez and I stood happily beside a plane. The pilot helped him fasten his seatbelt gently, and Mr. Alvarez held his old sketchbook tightly in his hand. As the plane took off, he looked out of the window, his face shining with joy. He pointed at the clouds he had watched for years, smiling like a child. After landing, he thanked the pilot and me repeatedly. “I’ve waited for this moment for 60 years,” he said. That day, I realized that even the oldest dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
【导语】本文以帮助孤儿院老人实现飞行梦想为线索展开,讲述了“我”在孤儿院做社区服务时,认识了82岁的Alvarez先生——他曾是飞机机械师,一生修理飞机却从未驾驶过飞机,只能通过素描寄托飞行梦想;“我”为帮他实现梦想,写信给多个机场均遭拒绝,随后亲自拜访机场,最终感动一位机场经理,为Alvarez先生争取到免费飞行的机会;老人成功完成飞行。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句内容“我拒绝放弃,决定亲自去拜访所有机场”可知,第一段可描写“我”带着Alvarez先生的素描本拜访机场,向经理们讲述老人的故事和梦想,最终被一位善良的机场经理打动,获得免费飞行的机会,以及“我”告知老人消息时他的感动。
② 由第二段首句内容“在那个重要的日子里,Alvarez先生和我高兴地站在一架飞机旁”可知,第二段可描写老人登机、飞行时的喜悦与激动,飞行结束后对飞行员和“我”的感谢,以及“我”从中领悟到的道理。
2. 续写线索:亲自拜访机场——携带素描本讲述老人故事——打动机场经理——获得免费飞行机会——告知老人、老人感动——登机飞行、老人满心喜悦——飞行结束、老人致谢——“我”领悟梦想的意义

First, using color and an office can inspire creative thinking. Different colors can affect mood and energy levels. For example, blues and Greens are calming and help create a peaceful environment. Second, offering a player room where employees can take a break can relieve stress and allow workers to be set. A dedicated space for relaxation and interaction can also Spark new ideas. Casual conversations often lead to creative solutions. Then let's turn the lighting. Lighting is also important. If IT is too dark, workers can feel sleepy. If IT is too bright, IT can make them feel anxious. Allowing more natural light into the office can increase productivity and uplift moods. If natural light is limited, using light poles can also be helpful. A clean space can make a big difference in how employees feel, focus on keeping the office organized, and make sure there's enough open space. When the office feels tidy, workers are more likely to feel relaxed and focused, which can promote clear thinking.
