I have always felt a deep pull to travel solo, to let my adventurous spirit lead the way. That longing lingered for years, but life got in the way. Family, work, responsibilities — they quietened the voice until it became barely a whisper.
Then, I turned 60, and the voice grew louder; but I worried it was too late, that I’d missed my chance. Around then, I started working with Jack, a counselling client with the same restless energy. He wanted to quit his job to see the world, and talking with him felt like speaking to a mirror, forcing me to confront my fear of leaving my safe, comfortable life.
It wasn’t until Jack announced he was ready to build a better-fitting life that I felt inspired to take the leap, planning a solo trip along Australia’s western coast.
The real test came when I booked my flights and accommodation. Part of me secretly hoped the payment might fail, giving me time to reconsider. But as a counsellor, I’ve seen too many cling to familiar routines long after they stop serving them. As my booking went through, I knew that stepping into uncertainty, at any age, opens the door to growth, confidence, and joy. It’s not easy, but every step brings greater reward.
My family’s encouragement made this easier. My steady husband hugged me and said, “You’ll regret it if you don’t go.” My adult children were thrilled and called me courageous.
Of course, fear naturally holds us back, but facing it is the first step to real breakthroughs. Courage is less about conquering fear, more about trusting yourself amid uncertainty.
Writing this from the airport, about to board my flight to Australia, I know fortune favors the brave. It may not be easy to overcome the fear of solo travel, but it’s better to live boldly than to let dreams fade without giving it a go.
24. Which of the following statements about the author is true?
A. She started her career as a counsellor after meeting her client Jack.
B. She believed age is an unbreakable barrier for exploring the world.
C. She finally gave up the trip because her payment failed to go through.
D. She put her personal dream aside for years because of family and work.
25. What directly inspired the author to plan her solo trip?
A. Her failed flight booking. B. Her client Jack’s decision.
C. Her 60th birthday reflection. D. Her family’s encouragement.
26. Why did the author secretly hope her flight payment would fail?
A. She was unwilling to go on the solo trip.
B. She needed more time to reconsider the route.
C. She doubted her ability to handle the trip alone.
D. She was not fully ready to leave her comfort zone.
27. What does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. Fortune comes to those acting without fear.
B. Bravery conquers the fear that accompanies uncertainty.
C. Courage involves acting even when you want to hold back.
D. Boldness relies on encouragement from family members.
C
Symbolic of beauty, pride, and wealth in some cultures, peacocks are often associated with being confident and attention-grabbing. So, perhaps it’s no surprise that these striking creatures can be used in a metaphor to illustrate complex family dynamics.
Being honest about the ups and downs of family life isn’t something you’ll usually hear from a “peacock parent”. Instead, they’ll project the “perfect family”, showing off their child’s talents in public, while criticizing them behind closed doors when disappointed.
You may have heard the expression “as proud as a peacock”, to suggest self-importance or attention-grabbing behaviour. In relation to parenting, this can be interpreted as narcissistic (自恋的) parenting, characterized by poor understanding, control, emotional dependency, and a pervasive preoccupation with feeling powerful or special within the family dynamics.
The roots of this arrogant behaviour stem from the narcissistic wound of low or fragile self-worth, counsellor Olena Chechel notes, explaining how this leads to children being seen as self-extensions or objects to fulfil the success of the peacock parent.
The child must be perceived as acceptable, shiny, or significant, as this all ties back to them. Olena goes on to explain that due to these parental expectations, the child may struggle to learn about their own interests, explore their curiosities, or simply be a child. They can soon realize that having an authentic self is detrimental to the relationship, and, indeed, that their caregiver can quickly pull back their love.
Growing up with a narcissistic parent can feel like being trapped in a web, but a first step to break free from its effects in adulthood is self-compassion. This mindful awareness can involve learning how to move away from the inner critic, following your interests, and speaking more kindly to yourself.
Olena also recommends redefining the relationship if the parent is causing distress: “Instead of bringing emotion into the relationship with the hope of being understood, it can be helpful to find boundaries that will make you feel safer in the dynamic. If the relationship is causing harm, you may need to limit contact. This is something we get to do as adults, but can’t do as children. It can be healing to make that choice.”
28. The author mentions peacocks at the beginning of the passage mainly to _________.
A. explain why peacocks are admired in many cultures
B. describe how animal behaviour reflects human family relationships
C. introduce an image that helps readers understand a certain type of parent
D. show that metaphors based on animals are common in English expressions
29. Which of the following statements about peacock parents is true?
A. They treat their children as a reflection of themselves.
B. They worry that others may judge their child negatively.
C. They hope public praise will boost children’s confidence.
D. They believe strong performance can make their children stand out.
30. The underlined word” detrimental” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. harmful B. unnecessary C. sensitive D. irrelevant
31. What does Olena recommend for those dealing with distressing peacock parents in the last paragraph?
A. To cut off all contact with their parents immediately.
B. To wait until their parents recognize the harm they have caused.
C. To step back from the relationship and create space when it becomes damaging.
D. To express their emotions openly in hopes of being understood by their parents.
D
One of the primary causes of insomnia and poor sleep quality is negative thinking, as explored in 2023 research in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders. While it may seem harmless at first, persistent negative thoughts gradually increase anxiety levels, placing strain on the brain’s ability to regulate itself effectively. Over time, this can lead to a loss of what we might describe as “intellectual control”.
Although we each have one brain, humans effectively operate with two distinct modes of thinking. The first is the intellectual, logical, and rational side of the brain, which allows us to analyse situations calmly and make reasoned decisions. The second is more primitive, and watchful, whose primary function is survival. When anxiety levels rise, the brain automatically shifts control away from the intellectual mind, and into this more primitive mode.
This shift is the same automatic response that would occur if we were faced with a genuine threat or emergency. Imagine encountering a hungry, restless polar bear determined to attack you. Your brain would instantly prioritize survival, setting aside logic, and placing your body on high alert. While this response is invaluable in life-threatening situations, it becomes problematic when constantly triggered by negative thinking, stress, or worry.
When the brain is operating in this heightened state of readiness, it becomes more negative, obsessive, and constantly alert. As a result, the mind struggles to relax. This makes falling asleep difficult and, even when sleep does occur, the brain often cannot relax deeply enough to process unresolved thoughts, emotions, and feelings.
The processing of emotional material primarily takes place during the dreaming phase of sleep, known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During this, the brain files away experiences, regulates emotional responses, and clears mental “backlogs” accumulated during waking hours. However, REM sleep typically accounts for only around 20% of the overall sleep cycle.
When someone experiences prolonged anxiety, the brain may attempt to overcompensate by increasing its demand for REM processing. Unfortunately, if this demand becomes excessive, the brain will often wake itself up, rather than remain in REM sleep. This is why many people find themselves wide awake at three o’clock in the morning, feeling restless, anxious, and unable to drift back to sleep.
32. What does the author suggest in paragraph 3 by comparing worry to a polar bear attack?
A. Worry is more difficult to control than fear of animals.
B. The brain uses the same survival mechanism in both situations.
C. Worry helps the brain prepare for possible dangers in advance.
D. The brain cannot tell the difference between real and imagined threats.
33. What can be learned about REM sleep?
A. It mainly provides the body with deep physical rest and recovery.
B. It temporarily shuts down the brain’s responses to external events.
C. It strengthens logical thinking and problem-solving while sleeping.
D. It helps the brain manage daily experiences and handle emotional challenges.
34. Why do people become fully awake in the middle of the night yet still not emotionally refreshed?
A. Because they sleep too long and lose natural alertness.
B. Because they do not enter REM sleep during the night.
C. Because their brain processes too much emotional material during sleep.
D. Because their brain is forcibly awakened by overwhelming processing demands.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Sleep vs Stress: Why Worry Can Reduce the Quality of Your Rest.
B. Sleep vs Survival Mode: Why Your Brain Might Be Battling You at Bedtime.
C. Threat vs Daily Worry: Why the Brain Responds as if Danger Were Present.
D. REM Sleep vs Anxiety: Why Emotional Processing Is Interrupted During the Night.

How To Gamify Your Routines
Gamifying your routines isn’t about being more disciplined; it’s about designing systems that make follow-through easier. Here’s how to add gameplay into your day, in a way that’s simple, flexible and helps you stay focused.
____36____
Getting creative can make difficult tasks, or the things we tend to put off, feel more manageable and engaging. Kristin explains: “Since I was young, I’ve struggled to drink water, so I turned it into a game and imagined getting £1,000 for every sip. The playfulness helped keep me hydrated. This simple game feels fun, and helps me stay healthy.”
Try times.
Breaking things down into short blocks of time can create a sense of urgency. ____37____ Tools like the Pomodoro technique (where you use a timer for 25 minutes, then are rewarded with a five-minute break) can help to boost focus, reduce burnout, and make big tasks more manageable.
Use a reward system.
Pairing tasks with little rewards you care about helps you track progress, and may make finishing tasks feel worth all the effort. ____38____ These small rewards can turn a challenging task into something to look forward to, making it easier to take that first step.
Change up your to-do lists.
____39____ Experimenting with different formats can help reduce overwhelm, keep things feeling fresh, and avoid you getting stuck in a single, discouraging long list.
Gamifying your routines doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. ____40____ Give yourself permission to experiment and adjust if your methods no longer help you. After all, this is about making progress in a way that feels supportive.
A. Turn complicated tasks into simpler.
B. Make challenging tasks more playful.
C. It can help you stay motivated over time.
D. Small changes can make a meaningful difference.
E. It also removes the pressure of working on one big task for hours.
F. Treat your to-do list like it’s a game, or split it into different levels.
G. Why not promise yourself a short break or a favorite podcast episode to get started?

Here’s the thing: ___51___ notebooks are idea incubators (孵化器) . With the pressure off, you experiment more. You try things that might ___52___.

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。
I am Tia. The corner of 71st Street and Prospect was my corner. To me, it was like a wide-open treasure box. When my sisters and brothers were chasing each other, and I felt like the walls of our apartment were about to burst, I ran down to my corner. My sneakers pounded the pavement, then they took me on a flying leap into a sea of green. I waded through the tall grass, my jeans swished with every step. Butterflies and crickets (蟋蟀) scared up at my feet. I sat down, closed my eyes and listened to their songs. The grass smelt clean and fresh. The sun warmed my skin, and I wondered why I was the only one who’s thankful for this place.
Some folks didn’t respect it. They passed by all day long and never took the time to peek inside. They even threw trash from their car windows. There was junk here- old chairs, a broken bicycle wheel. I worried that soon there would be more garbage than birds.
One day, the city announced a plan to pave it over for a parking lot. Heartbroken, I ran to my room and slammed the door. “It just needs some cleaning up, that’s all. How come they can’t see that?” Out my window I could see my corner. Mama knocked softly at the door and stepped in. “Tia, you see something in that corner that most folks don’t. You got to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it.”
Early the next morning, I dragged a chair down to the corner. On a card-board I painted NO PARKING LOT! SAVE OUR NATURE! in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people in the community didn’t pay any attention to me. My effort seemed in vain, attracting more ridicule (嘲笑) than support. I swallowed hard and felt my sign drop to the ground.
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。
The sign caught the eye of a local journalist, Sara, who smiled and walked over to me.

B
I have always felt a deep pull to travel solo, to let my adventurous spirit lead the way. That longing lingered for years, but life got in the way. Family, work, responsibilities — they quietened the voice until it became barely a whisper.
Then, I turned 60, and the voice grew louder; but I worried it was too late, that I’d missed my chance. Around then, I started working with Jack, a counselling client with the same restless energy. He wanted to quit his job to see the world, and talking with him felt like speaking to a mirror, forcing me to confront my fear of leaving my safe, comfortable life.
It wasn’t until Jack announced he was ready to build a better-fitting life that I felt inspired to take the leap, planning a solo trip along Australia’s western coast.
The real test came when I booked my flights and accommodation. Part of me secretly hoped the payment might fail, giving me time to reconsider. But as a counsellor, I’ve seen too many cling to familiar routines long after they stop serving them. As my booking went through, I knew that stepping into uncertainty, at any age, opens the door to growth, confidence, and joy. It’s not easy, but every step brings greater reward.
My family’s encouragement made this easier. My steady husband hugged me and said, “You’ll regret it if you don’t go.” My adult children were thrilled and called me courageous.
Of course, fear naturally holds us back, but facing it is the first step to real breakthroughs. Courage is less about conquering fear, more about trusting yourself amid uncertainty.
Writing this from the airport, about to board my flight to Australia, I know fortune favors the brave. It may not be easy to overcome the fear of solo travel, but it’s better to live boldly than to let dreams fade without giving it a go.
24. Which of the following statements about the author is true?
A. She started her career as a counsellor after meeting her client Jack.
B. She believed age is an unbreakable barrier for exploring the world.
C. She finally gave up the trip because her payment failed to go through.
D. She put her personal dream aside for years because of family and work.
25. What directly inspired the author to plan her solo trip?
A. Her failed flight booking. B. Her client Jack’s decision.
C. Her 60th birthday reflection. D. Her family’s encouragement.
26. Why did the author secretly hope her flight payment would fail?
A. She was unwilling to go on the solo trip.
B. She needed more time to reconsider the route.
C. She doubted her ability to handle the trip alone.
D. She was not fully ready to leave her comfort zone.
27. What does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. Fortune comes to those acting without fear.
B. Bravery conquers the fear that accompanies uncertainty.
C. Courage involves acting even when you want to hold back.
D. Boldness relies on encouragement from family members.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述作者多年来因家庭和工作搁置独自旅行的梦想,60岁时受咨询客户杰克决定改变生活的启发,克服对未知的恐惧,勇敢踏上独自前往澳大利亚西海岸旅行的征程,感悟勇气的真谛。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I have always felt a deep pull to travel solo, to let my adventurous spirit lead the way. That longing lingered for years, but life got in the way. Family, work, responsibilities — they quietened the voice until it became barely a whisper.(我一直有一种强烈的独自旅行的冲动,让我的冒险精神引领前行。这种渴望萦绕多年,但生活阻碍了我。家庭、工作、责任——它们让这种渴望的声音逐渐减弱,直至几近无声)”可知,作者因家庭和工作,将个人梦想搁置多年。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It wasn’t until Jack announced he was ready to build a better-fitting life that I felt inspired to take the leap, planning a solo trip along Australia’s western coast.(直到杰克宣布他准备打造更适合自己的生活,我才受到鼓舞,决定迈出这一步,计划独自沿着澳大利亚西海岸旅行)”可知,是客户杰克的决定直接激励作者计划独自旅行。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The real test came when I booked my flights and accommodation. Part of me secretly hoped the payment might fail, giving me time to reconsider. But as a counsellor, I’ve seen too many cling to familiar routines long after they stop serving them.(真正的考验在我预订航班和住宿时来临。我内心有一部分暗暗希望支付可能会失败,这样我就有时间重新考虑。但作为一名咨询师,我见过太多人在熟悉的生活模式不再适合自己后,仍长久地执着于它)”可知,作者暗暗希望支付失败,是因为她还没有完全准备好离开自己的舒适区。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Of course, fear naturally holds us back, but facing it is the first step to real breakthroughs. Courage is less about conquering fear, more about trusting yourself amid uncertainty.(当然,恐惧自然会阻碍我们,但面对它是真正突破的第一步。勇气不在于战胜恐惧,而更多地在于在不确定性中相信自己)”以及全文作者克服恐惧踏上旅程的经历可知,作者想传达的是即使想退缩,也要鼓起勇气行动。
C
Symbolic of beauty, pride, and wealth in some cultures, peacocks are often associated with being confident and attention-grabbing. So, perhaps it’s no surprise that these striking creatures can be used in a metaphor to illustrate complex family dynamics.
Being honest about the ups and downs of family life isn’t something you’ll usually hear from a “peacock parent”. Instead, they’ll project the “perfect family”, showing off their child’s talents in public, while criticizing them behind closed doors when disappointed.
You may have heard the expression “as proud as a peacock”, to suggest self-importance or attention-grabbing behaviour. In relation to parenting, this can be interpreted as narcissistic (自恋的) parenting, characterized by poor understanding, control, emotional dependency, and a pervasive preoccupation with feeling powerful or special within the family dynamics.
The roots of this arrogant behaviour stem from the narcissistic wound of low or fragile self-worth, counsellor Olena Chechel notes, explaining how this leads to children being seen as self-extensions or objects to fulfil the success of the peacock parent.
The child must be perceived as acceptable, shiny, or significant, as this all ties back to them. Olena goes on to explain that due to these parental expectations, the child may struggle to learn about their own interests, explore their curiosities, or simply be a child. They can soon realize that having an authentic self is detrimental to the relationship, and, indeed, that their caregiver can quickly pull back their love.
Growing up with a narcissistic parent can feel like being trapped in a web, but a first step to break free from its effects in adulthood is self-compassion. This mindful awareness can involve learning how to move away from the inner critic, following your interests, and speaking more kindly to yourself.
Olena also recommends redefining the relationship if the parent is causing distress: “Instead of bringing emotion into the relationship with the hope of being understood, it can be helpful to find boundaries that will make you feel safer in the dynamic. If the relationship is causing harm, you may need to limit contact. This is something we get to do as adults, but can’t do as children. It can be healing to make that choice.”
28. The author mentions peacocks at the beginning of the passage mainly to _________.
A. explain why peacocks are admired in many cultures
B. describe how animal behaviour reflects human family relationships
C. introduce an image that helps readers understand a certain type of parent
D. show that metaphors based on animals are common in English expressions
29. Which of the following statements about peacock parents is true?
A. They treat their children as a reflection of themselves.
B. They worry that others may judge their child negatively.
C. They hope public praise will boost children’s confidence.
D. They believe strong performance can make their children stand out.
30. The underlined word” detrimental” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. harmful B. unnecessary C. sensitive D. irrelevant
31. What does Olena recommend for those dealing with distressing peacock parents in the last paragraph?
A. To cut off all contact with their parents immediately.
B. To wait until their parents recognize the harm they have caused.
C. To step back from the relationship and create space when it becomes damaging.
D. To express their emotions openly in hopes of being understood by their parents.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】文章通过“孔雀父母”这一比喻,介绍了自恋型父母的行为特征及其对孩子的负面影响,并提供了应对建议。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Symbolic of beauty, pride, and wealth in some cultures, peacocks are often associated with being confident and attention-grabbing. So, perhaps it’s no surprise that these striking creatures can be used in a metaphor to illustrate complex family dynamics. (在一些文化中,孔雀象征着美丽、骄傲与财富,常与自信和引人注目联系在一起。因此,用这种引人注目的生物来比喻复杂的家庭动态或许并不令人意外。)”和第二段中“Being honest about the ups and downs of family life isn’t something you’ll usually hear from a “peacock parent”. Instead, they’ll project the “perfect family”, showing off their child’s talents in public, while criticizing them behind closed doors when disappointed. (坦诚地谈论家庭生活的起伏,通常不会从“孔雀型父母”口中听到。相反,他们会展现“完美家庭”的形象,在公共场合炫耀孩子的才能,而在关起门来感到失望时则加以批评。)”可知,作者在文章开头提到孔雀是为了引入一个帮助读者理解某类父母的形象。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“explaining how this leads to children being seen as self-extensions or objects to fulfil the success of the peacock parent. (解释这会如何导致孩子被视为自我的延伸,或被视为实现“孔雀型父母”成功的工具。)”可知,孔雀父母将孩子视为自身的投射或延伸。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Olena goes on to explain that due to these parental expectations, the child may struggle to learn about their own interests, explore their curiosities, or simply be a child. They can soon realize that having an authentic self is detrimental to the relationship, and, indeed, that their caregiver can quickly pull back their love. (Olena进一步解释说,由于父母的这些期望,孩子可能难以了解自己的兴趣、探索自己的好奇心,甚至难以单纯地做个孩子。他们很快就能意识到,拥有真实的自我对这段关系是detrimental的,而且,他们的照顾者会迅速收回他们的爱。)”可知,拥有真实自我会导致他们的照顾者(父母)迅速收回他们的爱,会对亲子关系产生负面影响。故划线词意为“有害的”,与“harmful”同义。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Olena also recommends redefining the relationship if the parent is causing distress: “Instead of bringing emotion into the relationship with the hope of being understood, it can be helpful to find boundaries that will make you feel safer in the dynamic. If the relationship is causing harm, you may need to limit contact. (Olena还建议,如果父母的行为给伴侣带来痛苦,就应重新界定双方的关系:“与其在关系中注入情感以期获得理解,不如设定明确的界限,让自己在这种关系中感到更安全。如果这段关系正在造成伤害,你可能需要减少彼此的接触。”)”可知,Olena建议在关系造成伤害时后退一步,创造空间。
D
One of the primary causes of insomnia and poor sleep quality is negative thinking, as explored in 2023 research in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders. While it may seem harmless at first, persistent negative thoughts gradually increase anxiety levels, placing strain on the brain’s ability to regulate itself effectively. Over time, this can lead to a loss of what we might describe as “intellectual control”.
Although we each have one brain, humans effectively operate with two distinct modes of thinking. The first is the intellectual, logical, and rational side of the brain, which allows us to analyse situations calmly and make reasoned decisions. The second is more primitive, and watchful, whose primary function is survival. When anxiety levels rise, the brain automatically shifts control away from the intellectual mind, and into this more primitive mode.
This shift is the same automatic response that would occur if we were faced with a genuine threat or emergency. Imagine encountering a hungry, restless polar bear determined to attack you. Your brain would instantly prioritize survival, setting aside logic, and placing your body on high alert. While this response is invaluable in life-threatening situations, it becomes problematic when constantly triggered by negative thinking, stress, or worry.
When the brain is operating in this heightened state of readiness, it becomes more negative, obsessive, and constantly alert. As a result, the mind struggles to relax. This makes falling asleep difficult and, even when sleep does occur, the brain often cannot relax deeply enough to process unresolved thoughts, emotions, and feelings.
The processing of emotional material primarily takes place during the dreaming phase of sleep, known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During this, the brain files away experiences, regulates emotional responses, and clears mental “backlogs” accumulated during waking hours. However, REM sleep typically accounts for only around 20% of the overall sleep cycle.
When someone experiences prolonged anxiety, the brain may attempt to overcompensate by increasing its demand for REM processing. Unfortunately, if this demand becomes excessive, the brain will often wake itself up, rather than remain in REM sleep. This is why many people find themselves wide awake at three o’clock in the morning, feeling restless, anxious, and unable to drift back to sleep.
32. What does the author suggest in paragraph 3 by comparing worry to a polar bear attack?
A. Worry is more difficult to control than fear of animals.
B. The brain uses the same survival mechanism in both situations.
C. Worry helps the brain prepare for possible dangers in advance.
D. The brain cannot tell the difference between real and imagined threats.
33. What can be learned about REM sleep?
A. It mainly provides the body with deep physical rest and recovery.
B. It temporarily shuts down the brain’s responses to external events.

34. Why do people become fully awake in the middle of the night yet still not emotionally refreshed?

B. Because they do not enter REM sleep during the night.

35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

D. REM Sleep vs Anxiety: Why Emotional Processing Is Interrupted During the Night.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要解释了负面思维如何通过激活大脑的原始生存模式导致失眠,并揭示了REM睡眠在情绪处理中的作用及焦虑引发夜醒的机制。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“This shift is the same automatic response that would occur if we were faced with a genuine threat or emergency. Imagine encountering a hungry, restless polar bear determined to attack you. Your brain would instantly prioritize survival, setting aside logic, and placing your body on high alert. (这种转换与我们在面对真实威胁或紧急情况时的自动反应相同。想象一下遇到一只饥饿不安、决意要攻击你的北极熊:你的大脑会立即将生存放在首位,抛开逻辑,让身体进入高度戒备状态)”可知,将忧虑比作北极熊袭击是为了说明大脑在面对忧虑和真实危险时会启动相同的生存机制。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The processing of emotional material primarily takes place during the dreaming phase of sleep, known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During this, the brain files away experiences, regulates emotional responses, and clears mental “backlogs” accumulated during waking hours. (情绪信息的处理主要发生在睡眠的做梦阶段,即快速眼动睡眠期(REM)。在此期间,大脑会归档经历、调节情绪反应,并清除清醒时积累的心理“积压事务”)”可知,REM睡眠帮助大脑处理日常经历和应对情绪挑战。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When someone experiences prolonged anxiety, the brain may attempt to overcompensate by increasing its demand for REM processing. Unfortunately, if this demand becomes excessive, the brain will often wake itself up... (当人经历长期焦虑时,大脑会试图通过增加对REM处理的需求来过度补偿。不幸的是,如果这种需求变得过大,大脑常常会自己醒来……)”可知,人们半夜完全清醒是因为大脑被过量的处理需求强行唤醒。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章第二段中“Although we each have one brain, humans effectively operate with two distinct modes of thinking... When anxiety levels rise, the brain automatically shifts control away from the intellectual mind, and into this more primitive mode.(虽然我们每个人都有一个大脑,但人类实际上以两种不同的思维方式运作……当焦虑水平上升时,大脑会自动将控制权从理性思维转移到这种更原始的模式)”指出大脑在焦虑状态下会切换到更原始的生存模式,随后第四段进一步说明这种原始生存模式被持续触发后,会导致大脑难以放松,第六段指出因REM睡眠处理需求过大而将人唤醒。全文围绕“睡眠与生存模式”的冲突展开,解释了大脑为何在休息时与自身对抗。故B项“Sleep vs Survival Mode: Why Your Brain Might Be Battling You at Bedtime(睡眠与生存模式:为什么你的大脑可能在临睡前与你作斗争)”最能概括文章内容,适合作为标题。

How To Gamify Your Routines
Gamifying your routines isn’t about being more disciplined; it’s about designing systems that make follow-through easier. Here’s how to add gameplay into your day, in a way that’s simple, flexible and helps you stay focused.
____36____
Getting creative can make difficult tasks, or the things we tend to put off, feel more manageable and engaging.

This simple game feels fun, and helps me stay healthy.”
Try times.
Breaking things down into short blocks of time can create a sense of urgency. ____37____ Tools like the Pomodoro technique (where you use a timer for 25 minutes, then are rewarded with a five-minute break) can help to boost focus, reduce burnout, and make big tasks more manageable.
Use a reward system.
Pairing tasks with little rewards you care about helps you track progress, and may make finishing tasks feel worth all the effort. ____38____ These small rewards can turn a challenging task into something to look forward to, making it easier to take that first step.
Change up your to-do lists.
____39____ Experimenting with different formats can help reduce overwhelm, keep things feeling fresh, and avoid you getting stuck in a single, discouraging long list.
Gamifying your routines doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. ____40____ Give yourself permission to experiment and adjust if your methods no longer help you. After all, this is about making progress in a way that feels supportive.
A. Turn complicated tasks into simpler.
B. Make challenging tasks more playful.
C. It can help you stay motivated over time.

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。
I am Tia. The corner of 71st Street and Prospect was my corner. To me, it was like a wide-open treasure box. When my sisters and brothers were chasing each other, and I felt like the walls of our apartment were about to burst, I ran down to my corner. My sneakers pounded the pavement, then they took me on a flying leap into a sea of green. I waded through the tall grass, my jeans swished with every step. Butterflies and crickets (蟋蟀) scared up at my feet. I sat down, closed my eyes and listened to their songs. The grass smelt clean and fresh. The sun warmed my skin, and I wondered why I was the only one who’s thankful for this place.
Some folks didn’t respect it. They passed by all day long and never took the time to peek inside. They even threw trash from their car windows. There was junk here- old chairs, a broken bicycle wheel. I worried that soon there would be more garbage than birds.
One day, the city announced a plan to pave it over for a parking lot. Heartbroken, I ran to my room and slammed the door. “It just needs some cleaning up, that’s all. How come they can’t see that?” Out my window I could see my corner. Mama knocked softly at the door and stepped in. “Tia, you see something in that corner that most folks don’t. You got to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it.”
Early the next morning, I dragged a chair down to the corner. On a card-board I painted NO PARKING LOT! SAVE OUR NATURE! in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people in the community didn’t pay any attention to me. My effort seemed in vain, attracting more ridicule (嘲笑) than support. I swallowed hard and felt my sign drop to the ground.
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。
The sign caught the eye of a local journalist, Sara, who smiled and walked over to me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The news reported by Sara spread throughout the community.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Paragraph 1: The sign caught the eye of a local journalist, Sara, who smiled and walked over to me. “That’s a brave stand you’re taking. Mind telling me what this place means to you?” she asked kindly. Her warm tone encouraged me to pour out my heart. I told her about the butterflies, the crickets’ songs, the clean smell of grass, and my fear of losing this secret garden to cold concrete. Sara listened intently, taking notes and occasionally snapping photos of the corner and my determined, though slightly tearful, face. She said “I think your story could inspire others. Great job speaking up for what you love.”
Paragraph 2: The news reported by Sara spread throughout the community. The next day, my story and a picture of me holding the sign appeared in the local newspaper. To my surprise, many neighbors read it and started seeing the corner with new eyes. They noticed the wildflowers they had never stopped to admire and the birdsong that was often drowned out by traffic. Over the following weekend, a small group of volunteers showed up with gloves and trash bags. Together, we cleaned up the old chairs and the broken bicycle wheel. Standing there, watching people work together, I realized that Mama was right.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述女孩Tia将街角的一片荒地视为自己的秘密花园,但城市计划将其改建为停车场。在母亲鼓励下,她举牌抗议却遭冷遇。正在她感到沮丧时,转机出现。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句“这个牌子引起了当地记者Sara的注意,她微笑着朝我走来。”可知,接下来需详细描写记者Sara与Tia的对话内容、Sara的反应、以及她对Tia的鼓励,为新闻报道做铺垫。
②由第二段首句“Sara报道的这则消息传遍了整个社区。”可知,下文需描写新闻报道后社区的反应(、众人的实际行动、以及Tia的感悟。
2. 续写线索:
记者注意到 ——采访Tia(倾听故事)——决定报道 ——新闻发出 ——社区关注——改变看法——志愿行动——清理荒地 ——Tia的感悟
3. 词汇激活:
①告诉:tell/inform
②注意到:notice/spot
③观察:watch/observe
情绪类
①恐惧:fear/terror
②坚决的:determined/resolute
【点睛】【高分句型1】Sara listened intently, taking notes and occasionally snapping photos of the corner and my determined, though slightly tearful, face.(运用了现在分词taking和snapping作状语)
