C 【解析】 【原文】Hello, everyone. I’m glad to be here with you to talk about your children’s eyesight. A recent survey says that, in America, about 40% of adults are short-sighted, up from 25% in 1971. Rates have similarly soared in other countries. If current trends continue, half the world’s population will be short-sighted by 2050. What explains this global eyesight crisis? According to scientists, while a family history of nearsightedness raises the risk of a child developing it, a purely genetic case of nearsightedness is rare. Instead, lifestyle factors are thought to be more significant, especially a lack of time outdoors. From 2015 to 2019, the highest nearsightedness rate measured among six-year-old children was 5.7%. In June 2020, after 5 months of lockdown, the rate shot up to 21.5%. To make matters worse, children are becoming nearsighted at a younger age. It’ll take some time to spot the problem and correct it. But the most important thing is that we should help the children keep away from nearsightedness in advance. How? The following methods you can take into consideration in your daily life... 第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Ancient Art Exhibitions of Museum of Fine Arts Houston Arts of Africa “African” describes arts of Africa from 500 BC to the present. The Museum’s African art collection features masks (面具), statues, headdresses, cloths, and objects from a variety of regions, cultures, and countries. The most famous one is a metal head of a king from the Court of Benin. Many artworks were created to strengthen the position and power of the rulers, or to symbolize position. Others honor ancestors. Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia The arts include those from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and other South Pacific Islands that make up a region once called “Oceania”. The ocean has shaped these peoples and their art. Many works were made from wood and plants, and decorated with paint, feathers, and shells. Valuable objects were also carved from stone. Glassell Collection of Ancient America Gold played an important role in ancient Central and South America. Ancient Americans valued gold for its spiritual power. Gold was considered to be part of the sun and had its energy. This collection is without equal in the world. Glassell Collection of Africa From ancient times, gold was a symbol of wealth and power, and gold artworks were highly prized. On Africa’s west coast, gold was rich. Chiefs used gold works to prove power and respect, and to promote political unity. The Glassell Collection of African Gold is considered the finest of its kind in the world, and it is the largest collection of African gold in an American museum. 21. Which stands out in Arts of Africa’s collection? A. An ancient mask. B. A metal head. C. A unique stone object. D. A beautiful headdress. 22. What’s a character of the works from Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia? A. They were influenced by the ocean. B. They were owned by ancient rulers. C. They shaped Oceanian people’s life. D. They were specially decorated for different purposes. 23. What do the works of Glassell Collection of Ancient America and Glassell Collection of Africa have in common? A. They include donations of different collectors. B. They stand for the highest level of art. C. They feature fine artworks containing gold. D. They show respect for the ancestors. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了休斯顿美术馆古代艺术展，包括四个不同的主题：非洲艺术、太平洋岛屿艺术和澳大利亚艺术，古美洲格拉塞尔收藏，非洲格拉塞尔收藏。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Arts of Africa”部分内容“The most famous one is a metal head of a king from the Court of Benin.(最著名的是贝宁宫廷国王的金属头像。)”可知，在非洲艺术收藏中最著名的是贝宁宫廷国王的金属头像，即，藏品中突出的是这个金属头像。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia”部分内容“The ocean has shaped these peoples and their art.(海洋塑造了这些民族及其艺术。)”可知，太平洋群岛和澳大利亚艺术的作品受到了海洋的影响，即，具有海洋影响的特色。故选A项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“Glassell Collection of Ancient America”部分内容“Ancient Americans valued gold for its spiritual power. (古代美洲人重视黄金的精神力量。)”以及“This collection is without equal in the world.(这个收藏在世界上无与伦比。)”提到了古代美洲人对于黄金的精神崇拜，那么藏品具有黄金特色，且这组藏品无与伦比，应是很精致的；而“Glassell Collection of Africa”部分内容“The Glassell Collection of African Gold is considered the finest of its kind in the world, and it is the largest collection of African gold in an American museum.(格拉塞尔非洲黄金收藏被认为是世界上同类藏品中最好的，也是美国博物馆中最大的非洲黄金收藏。)”中同样提及了该藏品是黄金收藏。由此可推知，两个主题的作品的共同点是都以含有黄金的精美艺术品为特色。故选C项。 B For Connor Dennehy, a physical teacher at Cordello Avenue Elementary School, physical fitness is not about nurturing star athletes but building confidence through purposeful movement. He is especially dedicated to ensuring that students with special needs, who he says “deserve the same chance to find joy in movement as every other child,” can cultivate sustainable happiness. While initially desiring to become a physical therapist (治疗师), he found himself particularly drawn to education through his mother and stepfather, both seasoned educators on Long Island. After completing his specialized training at SUNY Cortland, he enthusiastically joined this school in 2021, valuing the opportunity to work with young students. Rather than conducting standardized drills, he uses multi-sensory strategies: pairing verbal instructions for pushups with visual step cards, and using soft foam (泡沫) balls to help those with motor skill challenges feel successful. For students uninterested in movement, he leans into their strengths — like creating a “rhythm jump-rope” activity for a music-loving student who dislikes team sports. Nathaniel Marner, the school principal, described Dennehy as a “forward-thinking educator who constantly invents creative ways to engage students.” This impact is perhaps best illustrated by the genuine feedback from his students. Fourth-grader Lopez also showed her ultimate approval, “He’s cool.” She further explained more about his appealing personality and the diverse activities he has introduced, from basic exercises to various sports. Beyond the school’s walls, Dennehy extends his educational impact through coaching the junior volleyball team and instructing student participation in regional fitness programs. Yet his most rewarding professional moment remains fundamentally simple: surveying his gymnasium to witness his students actively engaged, each face reflecting the genuine joy of movement — a proof to his success in making physical education an accessible source of confidence and well-being. 24. What does Dennehy’s teaching particularly focus on? A. Building lasting happiness for all students. B. Ensuring equal joy for special-needs students. C. Boosting young students’ confidence via movement. D. Training talented students to become professional athletes. 25. What influenced Dennehy’s career choice? A. The example of his family members. B. His early training in physical therapy. C. A desire to reform school sports programs. D. An offer from Cordello Avenue Elementary. 26. Which of the following best describes Dennehy’s teaching style? A. Strict and skill-focused. B. Diverse and personalized. C. Multi-sensory and routine. D. Standardized and competitive. 27. Why does Dennehy consider his work worthwhile? A. He sees his students enjoy moving. B. He has won several teaching awards. C. He receives praise from the principal. D. He coaches a successful volleyball team. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小学体育教师康纳·丹尼希通过个性化教学帮助学生建立自信并享受运动的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For Connor Dennehy, a physical teacher at Cordello Avenue Elementary School, physical fitness is not about nurturing star athletes but building confidence through purposeful movement.(对于科德罗大道小学的体育老师康纳·丹尼希来说，身体素质的培养不在于培养明星运动员，而在于通过有目的的运动建立自信)”可知，丹尼希的教学重点是通过有目的的运动来提升学生的自信，而不是培养明星运动员。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While initially desiring to become a physical therapist (治疗师), he found himself particularly drawn to education through his mother and stepfather, both seasoned educators on Long Island.(虽然他最初想成为一名物理治疗师，但他发现自己的母亲和继父都是长岛经验丰富的教育工作者，这让他对教育产生了浓厚的兴趣)”可知，丹尼希的母亲和继父都是资深教育工作者，他们的榜样作用对他选择教育职业产生了重要影响。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Rather than conducting standardized drills, he uses multi-sensory strategies: pairing verbal instructions for pushups with visual step cards, and using soft foam (泡沫) balls to help those with motor skill challenges feel successful. For students uninterested in movement, he leans into their strengths — like creating a “rhythm jump-rope” activity for a music-loving student who dislikes team sports.(他没有进行标准化的训练，而是采用多感官教学策略：将俯卧撑的口头指令与视觉步骤卡片相结合，并使用软泡沫球帮助那些有运动技能挑战的学生获得成功感。对于对运动不感兴趣的学生，他发挥他们的长处——比如为一位喜欢音乐但不喜欢团队运动的学生设计了“节奏跳绳”活动)”以及第三段“Fourth-grader Lopez also showed her ultimate approval, “He’s cool.” She further explained more about his appealing personality and the diverse activities he has introduced, from basic exercises to various sports.(四年级学生洛佩兹也表示了她的极度认可：“他很酷。”她进一步解释了他吸引人的个性和他引入的多样化活动，从基础锻炼到各种运动)”可知，丹尼希的教学方式既个性化又多样化，能够根据学生的不同需求和兴趣设计教学活动。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Yet his most rewarding professional moment remains fundamentally simple: surveying his gymnasium to witness his students actively engaged, each face reflecting the genuine joy of movement — a proof to his success in making physical education an accessible source of confidence and well-being.(然而，他最有价值的职业时刻仍然非常简单：巡视体育馆，看到学生们积极参与运动，每张脸上都洋溢着真正的喜悦——这证明了他成功地将体育教育变成了学生获取自信和幸福的途径)”可知，丹尼希认为他的工作最有价值的是看到学生们享受运动的过程。故选A。 C Cycling is an extremely healthy sport. This low-impact exercise can strengthen your legs, improve your balance, and boost your overall fitness effectively, making it suitable for people of any age. Beyond physical benefits, cycling is also remarkably good for the brain. As Healthline points out, riding a bike helps reduce feelings of stress and anxiety by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters. And new research reveals even more significant cognitive (认知) advantages. A study published in the journal JAMA Network Open tracked 479,723 participants over a 13-year follow-up period. Its key findings linked active travel modes of transportation — especially cycling — to better brain health and a significantly lower risk of dementia (痴呆症). Participants were asked about their daily travel habits excluding work commutes (通勤) and divided into four groups: those using passive transport like buses or trains; regular walkers; people who mixed walking with other methods; and those who rode bikes or combined cycling with other forms of travel. The results showed that regular cyclists had a 19 percent lower risk of dementia and a 22 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared to other groups. Additionally, brain imaging of the participants confirmed that cyclists had a larger hippocampus — a brain region crucial for memory and learning — which is a clear indication of healthy cognitive function. Active travel like cycling is accessible to most people, requiring no specialized equipment beyond a bike, and its benefits for older adults are particularly tremendous. Liangkai Chen, PhD, lead author of the study, notes that promoting cycling as daily transport — even mixed with other modes — could be a practical and low-cost strategy to reduce dementia risk and preserve brain structure. Chen plans to further research how cycling frequency and duration influence brain health, plus the effects of changing active travel behaviour. This is especially important for seniors, as small lifestyle changes yield great brain health benefits. Clifford Segil, an adult neurologist, adds middle-age lifestyle adjustments to prevent dementia are valuable, as proven neuroprotective methods remain rare. 28. What did the study in JAMA Network Open find about regular cyclists? A. They had a higher risk of dementia. B. They showed better cognitive function. C. They owned healthier bodies than others. D. They depended more on passive transport. 29. What is the focus of Paragraph 4? A. Confirmation of the research. B. Methods of dividing participants. C. The process and results of the study. D. Comparisons between different travel groups. 30. What does the underlined word “tremendous” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Slight. B. Substantial. C. Uncertain. D. Temporary. 31. What can we know from Clifford Segil’s words? A. Seniors should avoid changing their daily habits. B. Neuroprotective methods are now widely available. C. Middle-age adjustments may help protect brain health. D. Lifestyle changes are the only way to prevent dementia. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究表明骑自行车对大脑健康有益，能降低痴呆症风险。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The results showed that regular cyclists had a 19 percent lower risk of dementia and a 22 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared to other groups. Additionally, brain imaging of the participants confirmed that cyclists had a larger hippocampus — a brain region crucial for memory and learning — which is a clear indication of healthy cognitive function.(结果显示，与其他组相比，经常骑自行车的人患痴呆症的风险降低19%，患阿尔茨海默病的风险降低22%。此外，对参与者的大脑成像证实，骑自行车的人海马体更大，海马体是大脑中对记忆和学习至关重要的区域，这是认知功能健康的明确标志)”可知，《美国医学会杂志网络开放版》上的研究发现经常骑自行车的人认知功能更好。故选B。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Participants were asked about their daily travel habits excluding work commutes (通勤) and divided into four groups: those using passive transport like buses or trains; regular walkers; people who mixed walking with other methods; and those who rode bikes or combined cycling with other forms of travel. The results showed that regular cyclists had a 19 percent lower risk of dementia and a 22 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared to other groups. Additionally, brain imaging of the participants confirmed that cyclists had a larger hippocampus — a brain region crucial for memory and learning — which is a clear indication of healthy cognitive function.(参与者被询问了除工作通勤外的日常出行习惯，并被分为四组：使用公交车或火车等被动交通工具的人；经常步行的人；将步行与其他方式相结合的人；以及骑自行车或将骑自行车与其他出行方式相结合的人。结果显示，与其他组相比，经常骑自行车的人患痴呆症的风险降低19%，患阿尔茨海默病的风险降低22%。此外，对参与者的大脑成像证实，骑自行车的人海马体更大，海马体是大脑中对记忆和学习至关重要的区域，这是认知功能健康的明确标志)”可知，第四段主要介绍了研究的过程和结果。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Active travel like cycling is accessible to most people, requiring no specialized equipment beyond a bike, and its benefits for older adults are particularly tremendous. Liangkai Chen, PhD, lead author of the study, notes that promoting cycling as daily transport — even mixed with other modes — could be a practical and low-cost strategy to reduce dementia risk and preserve brain structure.(像骑自行车这样的主动出行方式对大多数人来说都是可行的，除了自行车外不需要专门的设备，而且它对老年人的好处尤其tremendous。该研究的主要作者、博士梁开晨指出，推广骑自行车作为日常交通工具——即使与其他方式混合使用——可能是一种降低痴呆风险和保护大脑结构的实用且低成本的策略)”可知，骑自行车对老年人好处很大，所以tremendous意思是“巨大的”。A. Slight轻微的；B. Substantial巨大的；C. Uncertain不确定的；D. Temporary暂时的。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Clifford Segil, an adult neurologist, adds middle-age lifestyle adjustments to prevent dementia are valuable, as proven neuroprotective methods remain rare.(成人神经学家Clifford Segil补充说，中年时调整生活方式以预防痴呆症是有价值的，因为经过验证的神经保护方法仍然很少)”可知，中年时的调整可能有助于保护大脑健康。故选C。 D A groundbreaking study reveals that simply observing visual art can significantly enhance well-being, with benefits extending beyond museums to hospitals and even virtual settings. Published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, the research synthesizes (综合) 38 studies involving 6,805 participants, offering the first comprehensive analysis of art’s therapeutic potential. Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress, but the research was limited and inconsistent, they say. This study examined decades of scattered (分散的) research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. Led by psychologists from the University of Vienna, Trinity College Dublin, and Humboldt University, the study highlights how artworks like The Starry Night and The Scream improve eudemonic well-being — linked to life meaning and personal growth. The effects were consistent across diverse formats, including paintings, sculptures, and digital displays. These benefits were observed in a variety of locations — in museums and galleries as well as clinics and hospital settings and also through the medium of virtual reality. A wide range of art types including figurative and abstract paintings, photography, and sculpture were found to improve well-being. “Art is often seen as a luxury,” notes lead author MacKenzie Trupp, at the University of Vienna, “but our findings position it as an accessible, low-cost well-being tool.” Claire Howlin, assistant professor of Trinity College, added, “While the benefits of creating art are well-documented, the impacts of viewing art have been overlooked despite its daily accessibility.” The World Health Organization’s 2019 recommendation to pair art with clinical care aligns (使一致) with these findings, as art addresses core human needs for meaning and identity. With European health departments seeking evidence-based art interventions, this review paves the way for large-scale implementation. From Van Gogh masterpieces to hospital corridor installations, art proves to be a universal resource for mental wellness. 32. Why does the author mention the previous research on appreciating art? A. To criticize its limitation. B. To highlight new findings. C. To prove art is inconsistent. D. To compare different studies. 33. What does the underlined word “eudemonic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Right-based. B. Wealth-supported. C. Value-related. D. Passion-driven. 34. What can we learn from Claire Howlin’s words? A. Clinical care should replace art. B. Viewing art is undervalued. C. Art is hard to appreciate. D. Few people fully access art. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Visual Art Is a Costly Luxury B. Creating Art Matters Much C. Art Can Give Meaning to Life D. Viewing Art Boosts Well-being 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究综合分析发现，观赏各类视觉艺术可显著提升幸福感，该方式低成本易获取，还可应用于医疗等领域，其价值此前常被忽视。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress, but the research was limited and inconsistent, they say. This study examined decades of scattered (分散的) research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being.( 他们指出，此前的研究表明观赏艺术可能会影响情绪或压力，但这些研究存在局限性和不一致性。而此次研究则对数十年分散的调查进行了审查，首次提供了关于何时、何地以及为何观赏艺术能促进幸福感的清晰且全面的概述。)”可知，第二段指出，以往研究有限且结论不一致，而本次研究首次全面清晰地梳理了观赏艺术提升幸福感的相关结论。由此可知，提及旧研究是为了突出新研究的创新性与重要性。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据破折号后解释：“linked to life meaning and personal growth(与人生意义、个人成长相关)”由此可知，这种幸福感与价值、意义相关。C选项Value-related“与价值相关的”符合语境。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Claire Howlin, assistant professor of Trinity College, added, “While the benefits of creating art are well-documented, the impacts of viewing art have been overlooked despite its daily accessibility.”(特里尼蒂学院的助理教授克莱尔·霍林补充道：“虽然创作艺术的好处已得到充分证实，但观赏艺术的影响却被忽视了，尽管它在日常生活中随处可见。”)”可知，从克莱尔·霍林的言论中，我们可以得出观赏艺术未得到足够的重视。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“A groundbreaking study reveals that simply observing visual art can significantly enhance well-being, with benefits extending beyond museums to hospitals and even virtual settings.( 一项开创性的研究表明，仅仅观赏视觉艺术就能显著提升幸福感，其益处不仅限于博物馆，还延伸至医院乃至虚拟环境。)”可知，原文核心为一项新研究证实：观赏视觉艺术能显著提升幸福感，且成本低、易实现，适用于多种场景。由此可知，这篇文章适合的标题是“观赏艺术能提升幸福感”。故选D项。 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。 How to Start Mindful Eating Mindful eating is about waking up to the experience of eating. Experts recommend starting mindful eating gradually. Aim to eat one or a few meals per week in a slower, more attentive way. ____36____ Here’s a simple practice to help you get into a more mindful eating mindset. ● Prepare with intention. Before eating, take a moment to acknowledge your hunger level and emotional state. Take a few deep breaths to calm your body and help it shift into “rest and digest” mode. Turn off distractions like your phone, the TV, or your unfinished work. ____37____ ● Engage your senses. Observe the colors and shapes of your food. ____38____ As you eat, pay attention to the flavors and how the food feels in your mouth. This sensory awareness can help you feel more satisfied and prevent you from overeating. ● ____39____ Take small bites and chew each completely. This allows you to fully experience and appreciate the taste and texture of your food, and helps you digest it better. ● Reflect on fullness and satisfaction. ____40____ This simple act helps you slow down and check in with your body. Aim to stop eating when you’re about 80% full to allow your body enough time to register that you’ve eaten enough. A. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. B. Check and be mindful of your hunger. C.

This neat little park was their favorite spot for relaxing and enjoying some well-deserved free time. Leo rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Mia following close behind, both of them full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and easy laughter. But when they entered the park, their hearts sank. “Look at this!” Mia exclaimed in disbelief, pointing at the garbage near the swings. Leo’s face tightened with frustration. The two friends stood frozen, their eyes sweeping across the playground. The contrast was painful. Just last summer, these swings had been their kingdom; they remembered the feeling of the warm chains in their hands and the wind rushing past as they pumped their legs high enough to see over the fence. Now, the rubber seats were cracked and covered in a sticky film of dust, surrounded by a pile of discarded wrappers. Mia looked toward the walking trails, which used to be lined with colorful wildflowers that they would stop to name. Now, the bright blooms were choked by plastic bags caught on thorny bushes like ghostly, synthetic flags. Leo looked out at the grassy fields; it was a disaster. Where they used to lie back and watch the clouds drift slowly by, surrounded by the sweet smell of freshly cut grass, there was now a sharp, sour smell of rotting food and dirty water. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Leo muttered, shaking his head, his voice heavy with the loss of the place he held dear. Mia kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass with a hollow clatter (哗啦声). “It’s not just thoughtless-it’s disrespectful.” Leo sighed, the sound heavy in the humid air, but then Mia’s eyes suddenly lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this,” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 “I know what we shall do,” she added. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, more people joined in the cleanup. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I know what we shall do,” she added. Her eyes burning with fierce resolve, she reached into her backpack and pulled out a large, sturdy garbage bag. “We can fix this mess ourselves.” Leo looked at the bag, then at Mia’s determined face. A slow, admiring smile spread across his face. He nodded firmly, understanding her plan immediately. No longer discouraged by the mess, they were ready to make a difference. Without another word, Leo grabbed the other end of the bag and started the cleanup. Unexpectedly, more people joined in the cleanup. A couple walking their dog paused, impressed by their effort, and offered extra bags. Soon, a group of teenagers passing by were moved and stepped in to help. Changes gradually took place in the park and the scattered trash disappeared without a trace. As the sun began to set, the playground was spotless again. Although exhausted, Leo and Mia sat on the clean swings, beaming with pleasure. The park was restored, and their hard work had not only helped clean the space but also inspired a sense of community. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Leo和Mia发现他们心爱的社区公园被垃圾污染后，决定自己动手清理，并最终带动更多人参与，恢复了公园美丽的感人故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①通过第一段所给句““我知道我们该怎么做啦，”她接着说道。”推测续写线索：Mia提出具体的解决方案——两人开始动手清理垃圾——描述清理过程中的具体行动——展现两人从沮丧到积极行动的心理转变。 ②通过第二段所给句“出乎意料的是，越来越多的人加入了这次清理活动。”推测续写线索：路人被感动加入清理——清理队伍逐渐壮大——公园环境逐步改善——最终恢复整洁——Leo和Mia的感受与收获。 2. 续写线索： 发现公园被污染——感到心痛和愤怒——Mia提议清理——两人开始行动——路人加入帮忙——公园恢复整洁——感悟社区精神的力量 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①拿出：reach into/pull out/take out ②开始：start/begin ③帮助：help/assist ④消失：disappear/vanish 情绪类： ①沮丧的：discouraged/frustrated/disappointed ②赞赏的：admiring/appreciative/respectful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her eyes burning with fierce resolve, she reached into her backpack and pulled out a large, sturdy garbage bag.(运用了独立主格结构，Her eyes burning with fierce resolve作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】As the sun began to set, the playground was spotless again.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Look at all these paintings.

Hello everyone, i'm glad to be here with you to talk about your children's eyesight. A recent survey says that in america, about forty percent of adults are short sited, up from twenty five percent in nineteen nineteen seventy one. Rates have similarly soured in other countries. If current trends continue, half the world's population will be short cited by two thousand fifty. What explains this global eyesight crisis?

Instead, lifestyle factors are thought to be more significant, especially a lack of time outdoors. From two thousand and fifteen to two thousand nineteen, the highest nearside in this rate measured among six year old children was five point seven percent. In june two thousand twenty, after five months of locked down, the rate shot up to twenty one point five percent. To make matters worse, children are becoming near sited at a Younger age. It'll take some time to spot the problem and corrected, but the most important thing is that we should help the children keep away from near sightedness in advance how the following methods you can take into consideration in your daily life.

The Museum’s African art collection features masks (面具), statues, headdresses, cloths, and objects from a variety of regions, cultures, and countries. The most famous one is a metal head of a king from the Court of Benin. Many artworks were created to strengthen the position and power of the rulers, or to symbolize position. Others honor ancestors. Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia The arts include those from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and other South Pacific Islands that make up a region once called “Oceania”. The ocean has shaped these peoples and their art. Many works were made from wood and plants, and decorated with paint, feathers, and shells. Valuable objects were also carved from stone. Glassell Collection of Ancient America Gold played an important role in ancient Central and South America. Ancient Americans valued gold for its spiritual power. Gold was considered to be part of the sun and had its energy. This collection is without equal in the world. Glassell Collection of Africa From ancient times, gold was a symbol of wealth and power, and gold artworks were highly prized. On Africa’s west coast, gold was rich. Chiefs used gold works to prove power and respect, and to promote political unity. The Glassell Collection of African Gold is considered the finest of its kind in the world, and it is the largest collection of African gold in an American museum. 21. Which stands out in Arts of Africa’s collection? A. An ancient mask. B. A metal head. C. A unique stone object. D. A beautiful headdress. 22. What’s a character of the works from Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia? A. They were influenced by the ocean. B. They were owned by ancient rulers. C. They shaped Oceanian people’s life. D. They were specially decorated for different purposes. 23. What do the works of Glassell Collection of Ancient America and Glassell Collection of Africa have in common? A. They include donations of different collectors. B. They stand for the highest level of art. C. They feature fine artworks containing gold. D. They show respect for the ancestors. B For Connor Dennehy, a physical teacher at Cordello Avenue Elementary School, physical fitness is not about nurturing star athletes but building confidence through purposeful movement. He is especially dedicated to ensuring that students with special needs, who he says “deserve the same chance to find joy in movement as every other child,” can cultivate sustainable happiness. While initially desiring to become a physical therapist (治疗师), he found himself particularly drawn to education through his mother and stepfather, both seasoned educators on Long Island. After completing his specialized training at SUNY Cortland, he enthusiastically joined this school in 2021, valuing the opportunity to work with young students. Rather than conducting standardized drills, he uses multi-sensory strategies: pairing verbal instructions for pushups with visual step cards, and using soft foam (泡沫) balls to help those with motor skill challenges feel successful. For students uninterested in movement, he leans into their strengths — like creating a “rhythm jump-rope” activity for a music-loving student who dislikes team sports. Nathaniel Marner, the school principal, described Dennehy as a “forward-thinking educator who constantly invents creative ways to engage students.” This impact is perhaps best illustrated by the genuine feedback from his students. Fourth-grader Lopez also showed her ultimate approval, “He’s cool.” She further explained more about his appealing personality and the diverse activities he has introduced, from basic exercises to various sports. Beyond the school’s walls, Dennehy extends his educational impact through coaching the junior volleyball team and instructing student participation in regional fitness programs. Yet his most rewarding professional moment remains fundamentally simple: surveying his gymnasium to witness his students actively engaged, each face reflecting the genuine joy of movement — a proof to his success in making physical education an accessible source of confidence and well-being. 24. What does Dennehy’s teaching particularly focus on? A. Building lasting happiness for all students. B. Ensuring equal joy for special-needs students. C. Boosting young students’ confidence via movement. D. Training talented students to become professional athletes. 25. What influenced Dennehy’s career choice? A. The example of his family members. B. His early training in physical therapy. C. A desire to reform school sports programs. D. An offer from Cordello Avenue Elementary. 26. Which of the following best describes Dennehy’s teaching style? A. Strict and skill-focused. B. Diverse and personalized. C. Multi-sensory and routine. D. Standardized and competitive. 27. Why does Dennehy consider his work worthwhile? A. He sees his students enjoy moving. B. He has won several teaching awards. C. He receives praise from the principal. D. He coaches a successful volleyball team. C Cycling is an extremely healthy sport. This low-impact exercise can strengthen your legs, improve your balance, and boost your overall fitness effectively, making it suitable for people of any age. Beyond physical benefits, cycling is also remarkably good for the brain. As Healthline points out, riding a bike helps reduce feelings of stress and anxiety by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters. And new research reveals even more significant cognitive (认知) advantages. A study published in the journal JAMA Network Open tracked 479,723 participants over a 13-year follow-up period. Its key findings linked active travel modes of transportation — especially cycling — to better brain health and a significantly lower risk of dementia (痴呆症). Participants were asked about their daily travel habits excluding work commutes (通勤) and divided into four groups: those using passive transport like buses or trains; regular walkers; people who mixed walking with other methods; and those who rode bikes or combined cycling with other forms of travel. The results showed that regular cyclists had a 19 percent lower risk of dementia and a 22 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared to other groups. Additionally, brain imaging of the participants confirmed that cyclists had a larger hippocampus — a brain region crucial for memory and learning — which is a clear indication of healthy cognitive function. Active travel like cycling is accessible to most people, requiring no specialized equipment beyond a bike, and its benefits for older adults are particularly tremendous. Liangkai Chen, PhD, lead author of the study, notes that promoting cycling as daily transport — even mixed with other modes — could be a practical and low-cost strategy to reduce dementia risk and preserve brain structure. Chen plans to further research how cycling frequency and duration influence brain health, plus the effects of changing active travel behaviour. This is especially important for seniors, as small lifestyle changes yield great brain health benefits. Clifford Segil, an adult neurologist, adds middle-age lifestyle adjustments to prevent dementia are valuable, as proven neuroprotective methods remain rare. 28. What did the study in JAMA Network Open find about regular cyclists? A. They had a higher risk of dementia. B. They showed better cognitive function. C. They owned healthier bodies than others. D. They depended more on passive transport. 29. What is the focus of Paragraph 4? A. Confirmation of the research. B. Methods of dividing participants. C. The process and results of the study. D. Comparisons between different travel groups. 30. What does the underlined word “tremendous” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Slight. B. Substantial. C. Uncertain. D. Temporary. 31. What can we know from Clifford Segil’s words? A. Seniors should avoid changing their daily habits. B. Neuroprotective methods are now widely available. C. Middle-age adjustments may help protect brain health. D. Lifestyle changes are the only way to prevent dementia. D A groundbreaking study reveals that simply observing visual art can significantly enhance well-being, with benefits extending beyond museums to hospitals and even virtual settings. Published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, the research synthesizes (综合) 38 studies involving 6,805 participants, offering the first comprehensive analysis of art’s therapeutic potential. Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress, but the research was limited and inconsistent, they say. This study examined decades of scattered (分散的) research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. Led by psychologists from the University of Vienna, Trinity College Dublin, and Humboldt University, the study highlights how artworks like The Starry Night and The Scream improve eudemonic well-being — linked to life meaning and personal growth. The effects were consistent across diverse formats, including paintings, sculptures, and digital displays. These benefits were observed in a variety of locations — in museums and galleries as well as clinics and hospital settings and also through the medium of virtual reality. A wide range of art types including figurative and abstract paintings, photography, and sculpture were found to improve well-being. “Art is often seen as a luxury,” notes lead author MacKenzie Trupp, at the University of Vienna, “but our findings position it as an accessible, low-cost well-being tool.” Claire Howlin, assistant professor of Trinity College, added, “While the benefits of creating art are well-documented, the impacts of viewing art have been overlooked despite its daily accessibility.” The World Health Organization’s 2019 recommendation to pair art with clinical care aligns (使一致) with these findings, as art addresses core human needs for meaning and identity. With European health departments seeking evidence-based art interventions, this review paves the way for large-scale implementation. From Van Gogh masterpieces to hospital corridor installations, art proves to be a universal resource for mental wellness. 32. Why does the author mention the previous research on appreciating art? A. To criticize its limitation. B. To highlight new findings. C. To prove art is inconsistent. D. To compare different studies. 33. What does the underlined word “eudemonic” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Right-based. B. Wealth-supported. C. Value-related. D. Passion-driven. 34. What can we learn from Claire Howlin’s words? A. Clinical care should replace art. B. Viewing art is undervalued. C. Art is hard to appreciate. D. Few people fully access art. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Visual Art Is a Costly Luxury B. Creating Art Matters Much C. Art Can Give Meaning to Life D. Viewing Art Boosts Well-being 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。 How to Start Mindful Eating Mindful eating is about waking up to the experience of eating.

This neat little park was their favorite spot for relaxing and enjoying some well-deserved free time. Leo rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Mia following close behind, both of them full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and easy laughter. But when they entered the park, their hearts sank. “Look at this!” Mia exclaimed in disbelief, pointing at the garbage near the swings. Leo’s face tightened with frustration. The two friends stood frozen, their eyes sweeping across the playground. The contrast was painful. Just last summer, these swings had been their kingdom; they remembered the feeling of the warm chains in their hands and the wind rushing past as they pumped their legs high enough to see over the fence. Now, the rubber seats were cracked and covered in a sticky film of dust, surrounded by a pile of discarded wrappers. Mia looked toward the walking trails, which used to be lined with colorful wildflowers that they would stop to name. Now, the bright blooms were choked by plastic bags caught on thorny bushes like ghostly, synthetic flags. Leo looked out at the grassy fields; it was a disaster. Where they used to lie back and watch the clouds drift slowly by, surrounded by the sweet smell of freshly cut grass, there was now a sharp, sour smell of rotting food and dirty water. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Leo muttered, shaking his head, his voice heavy with the loss of the place he held dear. Mia kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass with a hollow clatter (哗啦声). “It’s not just thoughtless-it’s disrespectful.” Leo sighed, the sound heavy in the humid air, but then Mia’s eyes suddenly lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this,” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 “I know what we shall do,” she added. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, more people joined in the cleanup. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
