2026 London Travel Guide
There are a range of options to pay for your travel.
“Pay as you go”
“Pay as you go” is the easiest way to pay for travel in London. You don’t have to work out the cost of your journey in advance. You can pay as you go using contactless (card or device), a Standard Oyster card or a Visitor Oyster card. It is cheaper than buying single tickets and you get daily and weekly capping.
Visitor Oyster card
A Visitor Oyster card is a smartcard that’s pre-loaded with “pay as you go” credit. Visitor Oyster cards are only available to buy before you arrive in London. There is a daily cap on fares, you won’t pay any more for that day in the zones you travel in. If you run out of credit on your Visitor Oyster card, it’s easy to top up. If you have credit left on your card at the end of your visit, you can get a refund of up to £10 pay as you go credit.
Standard Oyster card
You can get a standard Oyster card in London if you don’t have a contactless card or device, or a Visitor Oyster card. You pay £10 (non-refundable) and then add “pay as you go” credit or a Travelcard to pay for your journeys. You can add a Travelcard to your Oyster card if you’re staying for a week or longer. This can save you time and money if you’re using public transport every day.
Travelcard
Travelcards allow you to make as many journeys as you like, at any time on bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground, Elizabeth line and National Rail services in London. It includes Day Travelcard, Week Travelcard, Month Travelcard and Year Travelcard. However, “Pay as you go” with daily capping is cheaper than buying a Day Travelcard.
1. What is “Pay as you go”?
A. A contactless device. B. A Travelcard.
C. A payment method. D. A preferential policy.
2. What distinguishes Standard Oyster card from others?
A. Easy top-up when used up.
B. Optional addition of travelcards.

In a world where access to books is often limited by socio-economic barriers, Jane, a dedicated street librarian, is on a mission to change that. Her journey began when she chanced upon a small, makeshift library in a low-income neighborhood run by volunteers. Inspired by their dedication, Jane decided to create a mobile library to reach even more people.
With the help of a few friends and a donated shuttle, Jane transformed her vision into a reality. She scoured (逛) thrift stores and garage sales to fill her mobile library with a diverse range of titles, from classics to contemporary bestsellers. Soon, her library, “Storybook Maze,” became a familiar sight across the city. She parked her shuttle in areas with limited access to traditional libraries, such as public housing projects and homeless shelters. As word spread, people from all walks of life began to flock to her van.
For many, Storybook Maze was more than just a place to borrow books — it was a symbol of hope and inclusiveness. Jane made a conscious effort to fill books that reflected the diversity of her community, ensuring that readers could see themselves in the stories. The impact was far-reaching: children who had never held a book before were now racing through entire series, and adults were rediscovering the joy of reading.
However, the journey was not without challenges. Jane faced disbelief from those who doubted the feasibility (可行性) of a mobile library and struggled to find stable funding. Nonetheless, her determination only grew stronger. She recruited volunteers, applied for grants (拨款), and partnered with local organizations to keep the project alive. Today, Storybook Maze is a beloved institution, reminding everyone that a book has the power to change a life.
4. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Why Jane offered help to the poor. B. How Jane got Storybook Maze running.
C. How Jane collected books for the project. D. Who Jane’s mobile library targeted.
5. What can be inferred about the books Jane chose for the library?
A. They focus on local people’s lives. B. They aim to make money for the project.
C. They mainly include classical works. D. They get readers deeply involved.
6. What major obstacle did Jane have to overcome?
A. Lack of government support. B. Unstable funding and public doubt.
C. Non-cooperation from local organizations. D. Shortage of volunteers and grants.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Digital Age: the lasting power of reading B. Public Libraries: modern challenges
C. Storybook Maze: books and hopes D. Community Hearts: the value of dedication
C
The workplace can be a tricky place to handle. Almost everything employees do at work — identifying the experts, managing tough feedback, or working in teams — comes down to their ability to manage relationships, which requires practical social skills. While most employees acquire these skills over time, the newest generation — Gen Z — is facing a “perfect storm” that leaves them miserably unprepared.
Through a combination of fewer real-world experiences and years of remote education, many 20-somethings have missed opportunities to develop the complex skills needed for work. The result is that many are unprepared for surviving in their jobs. Young employees often struggle to fit into organizations, leading to high turnover because those who don’t adjust don’t last long. If this trend continues, experts warn of a “leadership pipeline” crisis where a generation remains incapable of either collaborating or leading. This deficit (缺乏) not only fuels early turnover but also risks creating a long-term underclass.
Several factors have created this crisis. First, only 56% of Gen Z make it to adulthood having had a romantic relationship, compared to 75% for previous generations. Such early relationships teach basic social competencies like cooperation and forgiveness. Second, the dominance of online education means students learn in “workplace-adjacent” environments less often. In physical classrooms, students learn how to network and ask for feedback — norms that are easily lost in video calls. Finally, relying on digital messaging makes Gen Z anxious when faced with instant, face-to-face interactions or unexpected demands from a boss.
To address this, companies should change their communication strategies to be clear and direct. Leaders should develop expressed rules to reduce the “guessing game”. Instead of assuming new hires understand organizational norms, managers should make them specific, perhaps by sharing a list of team habits with every new joiner. Moreover, regular team rotations (轮换) can also accelerate social learning by exposing Gen Z to diverse communication norms.
8. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give the definition. B. To analyze the cause.
C. To present a problem. D. To make a contrast.
9. What is one direct result of Gen Z’s weak interpersonal skills at work?
A. They cannot get cooperative jobs. B. They just ignore bosses’ feedback.
C. They struggle to fit into workplaces. D. They refuse to work in teams.
10. Why does the author mention “romantic relationships” in Paragraph 3?
A. To show Gen Z’s emotional sensitivity. B. To show their impact on social skills.
C. To stress the influence of modern dating. D. To encourage romantic bonding.
11. What does the author advise companies to do for Gen Z?
A. Make team rules and norms clear. B. Avoid direct face-to-face demands.
C. Offer relationship improvement courses. D. Specify means of communication.
D
Scientists are working hard to pull water from the air, a potential source of clean drinking water for millions who lack access to freshwater. Even in very dry climates, the air contains moisture (湿度), but the challenge lies in releasing it. Current advanced materials are excellent at capturing water, yet they often “don’t want to part with it” once trapped.
The primary issue with existing water-harvesting concepts is the energy required for recovery. Typically, heat must be applied to evaporate (汽化) the trapped water and then cool it. This process is not only energy-demanding but also time-consuming, often taking hours to deliver a small amount of liquid. Traditional methods can consume up to half the captured energy just to release the water.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a novel way to eliminate this bottleneck: sound waves. They created an ultrasonic actuator (超声波致动器) — a flat plate that targets the material with high-frequency waves. This mechanical vibration (震动) shakes tiny water free in just minutes. “With ultrasound, we can precisely break the weak bonds between tiny water and the sites where they’re sitting,” says researcher Ikra Shuvo. Unlike heat-driven approaches that heat the entire material, ultrasound works locally, leaving the capturing structure undamaged.
This targeted disturbance creates momentum (动量) that releases the water as droplets, making the device 45 times more efficient than traditional solar-heat methods. Though the actuator requires a small amount of electricity, it can be powered by a tiny attached solar cell. Moreover, because the ultrasonic process takes minutes instead of hours, the same unit can complete multiple cycles per day, dramatically boosting total water output.
In the final analysis, the beauty of this system lies in its speed and cycle capacity. Once the material is cleared, it is immediately ready to harvest more water. Researchers believe that after further development, this could be employed as a home-based system to significantly increase the daily yield of drinking water from thin air.
12. What is the major barrier to getting water from the air currently?
A. There exists little moisture in the dry air. B. It’s hard to set free the trapped moisture.
C. Access to freshwater is difficult. D. The current materials are ineffective.
13. What is the chief disadvantage of traditional water harvesters?
A. They fail to function in dry air. B. They demand too much time and energy.
C. Their cooling system doesn’t work well. D. They can only produce tiny amounts of water.
14. What is the working principle of the MIT device?
A. Heating the whole material. B. Creating an ultrasonic actuator.
C. Damaging the capturing structure. D. Freeing water from weak bonds.
15. What lesson can we draw from the MIT research?
A. Think outside the box. B. Follow the beaten track.
C. Put the cart before the horse. D. Kill two birds with one stone.

To tackle this, the concept of “Deep Work” has gained popularity. It refers to the ability to focus without interruption on a mentally demanding task. ____17____ It allows you to master complicated information and produce better results in less time.

Another effective strategy is “mono-tasking”. Many people believe they are good at multitasking, but research shows that our brains aren’t wired for it. ____19____ When you switch between tasks, “attention residue” occurs, meaning part of your focus remains on the previous task.
Finally, embrace boredom. ____20____ Instead of reaching for your phone during every free moment, let your mind wander. This strengthens your “focus muscle” and makes it easier to engage in deep work when you actually need to.
A. Such interrupted work patterns leave us mentally exhausted yet unproductive.
B. Constant multitasking actually reshapes the brain in the long term.
C. This focused mental state is a highly valuable skill in today’s workplace.
D. The real secret lies in cutting off all human contact in your spare time.

47. 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。
We walked to the harbor (港口) on a foggy morning, the sun turning pink through the mist. We came to say goodbye to everything we loved. My mother said goodbye to the sailboats; my father waved at the fishing floats like colorful birds. I remembered the seabirds that always followed the fishing boats for food. My little brother Ben said goodbye innocently. A sad bell rang, and when my father asked if I had any final words, I whispered silently, “Goodbye, home.” Then we walked back to our old house, where a moving truck was waiting.
My parents had announced that we were moving to the western desert, my father’s hometown. He had grown up on his parents’ farm, playing with cows and chickens, catching frogs and building hay (干草) shelters. But I loved the seaside far more: collecting shells, building sandcastles, and feeling the wind on the ocean. My parents tried to comfort me, saying this desert was an important stop for migrating seabirds and that we were sure to find new things to love. Yet I refused to believe it.
After six days of driving across the endless land, we reached my grandparents’ dusty farm. Grandpa welcomed us warmly and gave us fresh milk. Ben was excited by the cows and sheep, but I felt lonely and out of place. I settled into the bedroom and placed my most precious belongings — a beach towel, a sand dollar, and my shell collection — by the window. It felt strange to see seaside souvenirs standing next to the old, worn barn (谷仓) outside.
The night before I started school, I felt anxious and upset. I wrote in my notebook a list of “Old Things I Miss”: the salty wind, seabirds, and my friends. The opposite page, “New Things I Love,” remained completely blank. That night, I dreamed of seabirds singing over the waves.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Early the next morning, I woke up to a familiar sound: seabirds!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: I opened my notebook, starting to begin “New Things I Love”.

In a world where access to books is often limited by socio-economic barriers, Jane, a dedicated street librarian, is on a mission to change that. Her journey began when she chanced upon a small, makeshift library in a low-income neighborhood run by volunteers. Inspired by their dedication, Jane decided to create a mobile library to reach even more people.
With the help of a few friends and a donated shuttle, Jane transformed her vision into a reality. She scoured (逛) thrift stores and garage sales to fill her mobile library with a diverse range of titles, from classics to contemporary bestsellers. Soon, her library, “Storybook Maze,” became a familiar sight across the city. She parked her shuttle in areas with limited access to traditional libraries, such as public housing projects and homeless shelters. As word spread, people from all walks of life began to flock to her van.
For many, Storybook Maze was more than just a place to borrow books — it was a symbol of hope and inclusiveness. Jane made a conscious effort to fill books that reflected the diversity of her community, ensuring that readers could see themselves in the stories. The impact was far-reaching: children who had never held a book before were now racing through entire series, and adults were rediscovering the joy of reading.
However, the journey was not without challenges. Jane faced disbelief from those who doubted the feasibility (可行性) of a mobile library and struggled to find stable funding. Nonetheless, her determination only grew stronger. She recruited volunteers, applied for grants (拨款), and partnered with local organizations to keep the project alive. Today, Storybook Maze is a beloved institution, reminding everyone that a book has the power to change a life.
4. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Why Jane offered help to the poor. B. How Jane got Storybook Maze running.
C. How Jane collected books for the project. D. Who Jane’s mobile library targeted.
5. What can be inferred about the books Jane chose for the library?
A. They focus on local people’s lives. B. They aim to make money for the project.
C. They mainly include classical works. D. They get readers deeply involved.
6. What major obstacle did Jane have to overcome?
A. Lack of government support. B. Unstable funding and public doubt.
C. Non-cooperation from local organizations. D. Shortage of volunteers and grants.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Digital Age: the lasting power of reading B. Public Libraries: modern challenges
C. Storybook Maze: books and hopes D. Community Hearts: the value of dedication
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C

The workplace can be a tricky place to handle. Almost everything employees do at work — identifying the experts, managing tough feedback, or working in teams — comes down to their ability to manage relationships, which requires practical social skills. While most employees acquire these skills over time, the newest generation — Gen Z — is facing a “perfect storm” that leaves them miserably unprepared.
Through a combination of fewer real-world experiences and years of remote education, many 20-somethings have missed opportunities to develop the complex skills needed for work. The result is that many are unprepared for surviving in their jobs. Young employees often struggle to fit into organizations, leading to high turnover because those who don’t adjust don’t last long. If this trend continues, experts warn of a “leadership pipeline” crisis where a generation remains incapable of either collaborating or leading. This deficit (缺乏) not only fuels early turnover but also risks creating a long-term underclass.
Several factors have created this crisis. First, only 56% of Gen Z make it to adulthood having had a romantic relationship, compared to 75% for previous generations. Such early relationships teach basic social competencies like cooperation and forgiveness. Second, the dominance of online education means students learn in “workplace-adjacent” environments less often. In physical classrooms, students learn how to network and ask for feedback — norms that are easily lost in video calls. Finally, relying on digital messaging makes Gen Z anxious when faced with instant, face-to-face interactions or unexpected demands from a boss.
To address this, companies should change their communication strategies to be clear and direct. Leaders should develop expressed rules to reduce the “guessing game”. Instead of assuming new hires understand organizational norms, managers should make them specific, perhaps by sharing a list of team habits with every new joiner. Moreover, regular team rotations (轮换) can also accelerate social learning by exposing Gen Z to diverse communication norms.
8. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give the definition. B. To analyze the cause.
C. To present a problem. D. To make a contrast.
9. What is one direct result of Gen Z’s weak interpersonal skills at work?
A. They cannot get cooperative jobs. B. They just ignore bosses’ feedback.
C. They struggle to fit into workplaces. D. They refuse to work in teams.
10. Why does the author mention “romantic relationships” in Paragraph 3?
A. To show Gen Z’s emotional sensitivity. B. To show their impact on social skills.
C. To stress the influence of modern dating. D. To encourage romantic bonding.
11. What does the author advise companies to do for Gen Z?
A. Make team rules and norms clear. B. Avoid direct face-to-face demands.
C. Offer relationship improvement courses. D. Specify means of communication.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章指出 Z 世代因成长环境缺失历练、社交薄弱,难以适应职场,离职率偏高,作者从三方面分析成因,并建议企业明晰规章帮助新人适应。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The workplace can be a tricky place to handle. Almost everything employees do at work — identifying the experts, managing tough feedback, or working in teams — comes down to their ability to manage relationships, which requires practical social skills. While most employees acquire these skills over time, the newest generation — Gen Z — is facing a “perfect storm” that leaves them miserably unprepared.(工作场所往往是个难以应对的环境。员工在工作中的几乎每一项行为——识别专家、处理棘手的反馈,或者团队协作——都取决于他们处理人际关系的能力,而这需要实际的社交技能。虽然大多数员工是随着时间的推移逐渐习得这些技能的,但新一代——Z 世代——却正面临一场“完美风暴”,使他们毫无准备地陷入困境)”可知,第一段的作用是为阐述问题做铺垫。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Young employees often struggle to fit into organizations, leading to high turnover because those who don’t adjust don’t last long.(年轻员工往往难以适应所在组织的环境,这导致了较高的人员流失率,因为那些无法做出相应调整的员工往往难以长久留任)”可知,Z世代在工作中人际交往能力较弱,其直接后果是他们难以适应工作环境。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Several factors have created this crisis. First, only 56% of Gen Z make it to adulthood having had a romantic relationship, compared to 75% for previous generations. Such early relationships teach basic social competencies like cooperation and forgiveness.(造成这一危机的因素有诸多。首先,Z世代中只有56%的人在成年之前有过恋爱经历,而前几代人的这一比例为75%。早期的恋爱经历能培养诸如合作与宽容等基本的社交能力)”可知,作者在第三段中提及“浪漫关系”是为了展示其对社交能力的影响。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Leaders should develop expressed rules to reduce the “guessing game”. Instead of assuming new hires understand organizational norms, managers should make them specific, perhaps by sharing a list of team habits with every new joiner.(领导者应当制定明确的规则,以减少这种“猜测游戏”。管理者不应假定新员工能理解组织的规范,而应当将这些规范具体化,比如可以向每一位新员工公布一份团队的常规做法清单)”可知,作者建议面向Z世代的企业明确制定团队的规则和规范。

Scientists are working hard to pull water from the air, a potential source of clean drinking water for millions who lack access to freshwater. Even in very dry climates, the air contains moisture (湿度), but the challenge lies in releasing it. Current advanced materials are excellent at capturing water, yet they often “don’t want to part with it” once trapped.
The primary issue with existing water-harvesting concepts is the energy required for recovery. Typically, heat must be applied to evaporate (汽化) the trapped water and then cool it. This process is not only energy-demanding but also time-consuming, often taking hours to deliver a small amount of liquid. Traditional methods can consume up to half the captured energy just to release the water.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a novel way to eliminate this bottleneck: sound waves. They created an ultrasonic actuator (超声波致动器) — a flat plate that targets the material with high-frequency waves. This mechanical vibration (震动) shakes tiny water free in just minutes. “With ultrasound, we can precisely break the weak bonds between tiny water and the sites where they’re sitting,” says researcher Ikra Shuvo. Unlike heat-driven approaches that heat the entire material, ultrasound works locally, leaving the capturing structure undamaged.
This targeted disturbance creates momentum (动量) that releases the water as droplets, making the device 45 times more efficient than traditional solar-heat methods. Though the actuator requires a small amount of electricity, it can be powered by a tiny attached solar cell. Moreover, because the ultrasonic process takes minutes instead of hours, the same unit can complete multiple cycles per day, dramatically boosting total water output.
In the final analysis, the beauty of this system lies in its speed and cycle capacity. Once the material is cleared, it is immediately ready to harvest more water. Researchers believe that after further development, this could be employed as a home-based system to significantly increase the daily yield of drinking water from thin air.
12. What is the major barrier to getting water from the air currently?
A. There exists little moisture in the dry air. B. It’s hard to set free the trapped moisture.
C. Access to freshwater is difficult. D. The current materials are ineffective.
13. What is the chief disadvantage of traditional water harvesters?
A. They fail to function in dry air. B. They demand too much time and energy.
C. Their cooling system doesn’t work well. D. They can only produce tiny amounts of water.
14. What is the working principle of the MIT device?
A. Heating the whole material. B. Creating an ultrasonic actuator.
C. Damaging the capturing structure. D. Freeing water from weak bonds.
15. What lesson can we draw from the MIT research?
A. Think outside the box. B. Follow the beaten track.
C. Put the cart before the horse. D. Kill two birds with one stone.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A

细节理解题。根据第一段“Current advanced materials are excellent at capturing water, yet they often “don’t want to part with it” once trapped.(当前的先进材料在收集水分方面表现极佳,但一旦水分被收集起来,它们往往又“不愿再将其释放出来”)”以及第二段“This process is not only energy-demanding but also time-consuming, often taking hours to deliver a small amount of liquid.(这个过程不仅耗能,而且耗时,通常要花费数小时才能完成少量液体的输送)”可知,目前从空气中获取水分的主要障碍是很难释放掉那些被困住的水分。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This process is not only energy-demanding but also time-consuming, often taking hours to deliver a small amount of liquid.(这个过程不仅耗能,而且耗时,通常要花费数小时才能完成少量液体的输送)”可知,传统水收集器的主要缺点是需要耗费太多的时间和精力。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, researchers at MIT have developed a novel way to eliminate this bottleneck: sound waves. They created an ultrasonic actuator (超声波致动器) — a flat plate that targets the material with high-frequency waves.

In the digital era, many people find it increasingly difficult to stay focused on a single task. We are constantly interrupted by alerts and the urge to check our phones. This phenomenon is often described as “fragmented attention”, where our minds jump from one thing to another without deep engagement. ____16____
To tackle this, the concept of “Deep Work” has gained popularity. It refers to the ability to focus without interruption on a mentally demanding task. ____17____ It allows you to master complicated information and produce better results in less time. However, achieving this state requires more than just willpower.
____18____ Just as athletes train their bodies, you must train your brain to resist distractions (分心). Start by scheduling specific “deep work” sessions in your calendar. During these times, turn off all notifications and move your phone to another room.
Another effective strategy is “mono-tasking”. Many people believe they are good at multitasking, but research shows that our brains aren’t wired for it. ____19____ When you switch between tasks, “attention residue” occurs, meaning part of your focus remains on the previous task.
Finally, embrace boredom. ____20____ Instead of reaching for your phone during every free moment, let your mind wander. This strengthens your “focus muscle” and makes it easier to engage in deep work when you actually need to.
A. Such interrupted work patterns leave us mentally exhausted yet unproductive.
B. Constant multitasking actually reshapes the brain in the long term.
C. This focused mental state is a highly valuable skill in today’s workplace.
D. The real secret lies in cutting off all human contact in your spare time.
E. In reality, we are merely shifting our focus rapidly rather than dividing it equally.
F. People nowadays heavily rely on digital devices for entertainment.
G. Training focus is more about environment control than self-discipline.

【解析】
【导语】主要说明了当下人们普遍注意力碎片化,“深度工作” 可高效钻研难题,文中给出训练专注力、单一任务做事、忍受无聊三种实操方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“In the digital era, many people find it increasingly difficult to stay focused on a single task. We are constantly interrupted by alerts and the urge to check our phones. This phenomenon is often described as “fragmented attention”, where our minds jump from one thing to another without deep engagement.(在数字化时代,许多人发现很难专注于一项任务。我们总是会被各种提醒信息以及想要查看手机的冲动所打断。这种现象通常被称为“分散注意力”,即我们的大脑会从一件事跳到另一件事,但没有深入的投入)”可知,第一段介绍了“碎片化注意力”的现象:注意力不断被打断、无法深度投入。A选项“这种被打断的工作模式会让我们精神疲惫,还效率低下”,用Such interrupted work patterns指代上文的碎片化注意力现象,总结该现象的危害,自然引出下文的解决方法,衔接合理。
【17题详解】
根据上文“To tackle this, the concept of “Deep Work” has gained popularity. It refers to the ability to focus without interruption on a mentally demanding task.(为了解决这个问题,“深度工作”这一概念逐渐流行起来。它指的是能够不受干扰地专注于一项需要高度集中精力完成的任务的能力)”可知,第二段定义了“深度工作”:无干扰专注于高脑力任务的能力。C选项“这种专注的精神状态在当今职场是一项非常有价值的技能”,用This focused mental state指代深度工作,紧接着下文阐述深度工作的好处(掌握复杂信息、短时间产出更好结果),逻辑连贯。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Just as athletes train their bodies, you must train your brain to resist distractions (分心). Start by scheduling specific “deep work” sessions in your calendar. During these times, turn off all notifications and move your phone to another room.(就像运动员要锻炼自己的身体一样,你也必须训练自己的大脑来抵御分心。首先,在日程表中安排专门的“深度工作”时段。在这段时间里,要关闭所有通知,并把手机放到另一个房间)”可知,第二段结尾提到“达到深度工作状态不止需要意志力”,空格后举例说明训练大脑抗分心的方法:安排专属深度工作时段、关闭通知、把手机放去别的房间,这些都是控制环境的做法。G选项“训练专注力,更多靠环境控制而非自律”,对应上文的“不止需要意志力(自律)”,也能引出下文的具体方法,衔接正确。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Another effective strategy is “mono-tasking”. Many people believe they are good at multitasking, but research shows that our brains aren’t wired for it.(另一种行之有效的策略是“单任务处理”。许多人自认为擅长同时处理多项任务,但研究表明,我们的大脑并不适合进行这种操作)”以及后文“When you switch between tasks, “attention residue” occurs, meaning part of your focus remains on the previous task.(当你在不同任务之间切换时,就会出现“注意力残留”现象,即你的注意力仍会停留在之前的任务上)”可知,第四段围绕“单任务工作法”展开,前文提到“很多人以为自己擅长多任务,但研究表明大脑天生不适合多任务”,后文解释切换任务会带来“注意力残留”。E选项“实际上,我们只是快速转移注意力,并非真的能同时平均分配注意力给多个任务”,刚好承接上文对多任务的纠错,引出下文切换任务的危害,逻辑通顺。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Instead of reaching for your phone during every free moment, let your mind wander. This strengthens your “focus muscle” and makes it easier to engage in deep work when you actually need to.(不要在每一刻的空闲时间都去拿手机,而是让思绪自由飘荡。这样做能增强你的“专注力肌肉”,从而在真正需要投入深度工作时,更容易集中精力)”以及本段主题是“接受无聊”,后文提到“不要一有空就拿手机,让大脑走神”。F选项“现在人们高度依赖电子设备娱乐”,点出现在人们无聊就摸手机的现状,正好引出作者的建议,衔接合理。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
We walked to the harbor (港口) on a foggy morning, the sun turning pink through the mist. We came to say goodbye to everything we loved. My mother said goodbye to the sailboats; my father waved at the fishing floats like colorful birds. I remembered the seabirds that always followed the fishing boats for food. My little brother Ben said goodbye innocently. A sad bell rang, and when my father asked if I had any final words, I whispered silently, “Goodbye, home.” Then we walked back to our old house, where a moving truck was waiting.
My parents had announced that we were moving to the western desert, my father’s hometown. He had grown up on his parents’ farm, playing with cows and chickens, catching frogs and building hay (干草) shelters. But I loved the seaside far more: collecting shells, building sandcastles, and feeling the wind on the ocean. My parents tried to comfort me, saying this desert was an important stop for migrating seabirds and that we were sure to find new things to love. Yet I refused to believe it.
After six days of driving across the endless land, we reached my grandparents’ dusty farm. Grandpa welcomed us warmly and gave us fresh milk. Ben was excited by the cows and sheep, but I felt lonely and out of place. I settled into the bedroom and placed my most precious belongings — a beach towel, a sand dollar, and my shell collection — by the window. It felt strange to see seaside souvenirs standing next to the old, worn barn (谷仓) outside.
The night before I started school, I felt anxious and upset. I wrote in my notebook a list of “Old Things I Miss”: the salty wind, seabirds, and my friends. The opposite page, “New Things I Love,” remained completely blank. That night, I dreamed of seabirds singing over the waves.

【答案】范文
Early the next morning, I woke up to a familiar sound: seabirds! I couldn’t believe my ears — I rushed outside in surprise and saw graceful seabirds gliding smoothly across the clear desert sky, just as they had danced over the sea waves. They circled lightly and rested peacefully nearby. My father stood beside me, smiling gently, and whispered in a tender tone, “The desert had its unique charm and those seabirds could also fit in perfectly here.” My sadness gradually melted away, and a fresh sense of hope sprang up in my heart.
I opened my notebook, starting to begin “New Things I Love”. I recalled, with vivid pictures slowly unfolding in my mind: seabirds in the desert, the endless blue sky, warm golden sunlight and quiet farm life. It suddenly occurred to me that seabirds belonged not only to the ocean, and that I could also find my sense of belonging in the desert. Parting is never about losing what we cherish; instead, it means carrying our memories and bravery to embrace a new life and find our own place in a strange land, just like these seabirds.
