W: Really? That’s incredible. Do you think the teaching method helps you learn better?
M: Definitely! At first, I couldn’t adapt to their teaching method, which demands a lot of concentration. But now I’m more independent. The results I’ve achieved also prove that the Finnish educational system works.
W: What about exams?
M: My college doesn’t evaluate students based on exam scores or class performance at the end of the semester. Instead, we are required to write self-assessment journals.

Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
24. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs. B. Living a double life between work and family.
C. Balancing her dream with family’s expectations. D. Seeking a balance between reality and fantasy.
25. What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Obeyed. B. Panicked. C. Protested. D. Wondered.
26. What might Maya learn from her submission experience?
A. Getting published isn’t hard. B. Standing your ground is a virtue.
C. You have to pay a fee to get recognized. D. You have to compromise sometimes to succeed.
27. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?
A. Choose proper material. B. Turn storms into stories.
C. Build castle before dreaming. D. Dream big and dare to fail.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Maya在梦想和家人期望之间挣扎,最终通过妥协和努力实现梦想并鼓励他人的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby”(未来已经由她的父母规划好了:商科学位、稳定的工作、安全保障。她的写作只是一个“愉快的爱好”)”以及第二段中“Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name.(她父亲把她的笔记本看作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据。她母亲担心这些故事是从需要实际生活的现实中逃避出来。Maya于是顺从了,白天研究电子表格,但晚上,她用一个假名写博客)”可知,Maya内心挣扎的根源是在自己的梦想和家人的期望之间取得平衡。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name.(她父亲把她的笔记本看作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据。她母亲担心这些故事是从需要实际生活的现实中逃避出来。Maya于是complied了,白天研究电子表格,但晚上,她用一个假名写博客)”可知,Maya的父亲认为写作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据,母亲担心写作是从现实逃避出来,所以Maya顺从了他们,白天研究电子表格,晚上用假名写博客。故complied意思是“顺从”。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.(然后,一个认可的时刻到来了,尽管它也有自己的代价。一家文学杂志接受了一篇故事,但要求彻底修改,这将改变其充满希望的结局。Maya挣扎了一个星期,想拒绝。最后,她重写了它。新的结局既有爱也有距离,既有野心也有牺牲。它被发表了)”可推知,Maya从她的投稿经历中学到了为了成功,有时你必须妥协。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.” (“冲突并不是你梦想的障碍,”她会告诉他们。“这是素材。不要写童话。写下风暴。然后,写下那个学会在雨中站立的人。”)”可知,Maya给青少年的建议是把风暴变成故事。
C
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
28. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Why was the experiment conducted. B. Where was the beef preserved well.
C. How was the experiment carried out. D. What did the scientists compare.
30. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time. B. It performs best at room temperature.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration closely relates to storage life.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Fully convinced. B. Cautiously optimistic.
C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍随着消费者偏爱天然原料的洁净标签食品,科研人员从废弃腰果壳中提取腰果壳液CNSL,通过牛肉保鲜实验证实该液体具备抑菌防腐效果,为天然食品防腐剂研发开辟了新思路。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell.(这一趋势促使科学家寻找安全的天然防腐剂。他们将目光投向腰果身上通常被丢弃的部位 —— 果壳。)”可知,科学家研究腰果壳是为寻找人造防腐剂的天然替代物。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.(他们将不同浓度的液体涂抹在牛肉样本上,部分牛肉不作处理作为对照组,随后样本分常温、冷藏两种环境存放两周。)”可知,第二段主要介绍实验的开展方式。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality.(浓度越高防腐效果越好,2.0%浓度的溶液在保障肉质的同时起到极佳的防护作用。)”可知,CNSL的浓度和肉类保鲜时长密切相关。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.(研究人员表示还需进一步研究该液体是否影响牛肉口感质地、如何配合包装提升效果,但这项研究仍为天然保鲜技术打开了新方向。)”可知,作者对CNSL的前景持谨慎乐观的态度。
D
Many people believe that confidence comes from ability. In other words, if someone speaks with certainty, they must know what they are talking about. However, psychological research suggests that the opposite can also be true: individuals with limited ability may display surprisingly high levels of confidence while remaining largely unaware of their limitations. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
People with this cognitive bias (偏见) tend to believe they are far more capable than they really are. Because they know little about a subject, they often mistake their limited understanding for real competence and remain unaware of how much they do not know.
This idea was first examined by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. In a series of experiments, participants were asked to complete tests involving grammar, logical reasoning, and humor. After finishing the tasks, they were asked to estimate how well they had performed. To the researchers’ surprise, participants who scored in the lowest group consistently rated their performance much higher than it actually was. For example, those in the bottom 12% often believed they had performed above average. In contrast, participants who achieved high scores tended to underestimate their performance.
According to researchers, this pattern can be explained by a “dual burden.” The skills needed to perform a task well are also required to judge one’s own performance. When people lack these skills, they not only make more mistakes but also fail to assess their performance accurately.
The Dunning-Kruger effect has important real-world consequences, as it discourages individuals from seeking feedback or further study. To overcome this, one must understand that true confidence is built on accurate self-awareness. It is developed through continuous learning, actively seeking constructive criticism, and, most crucially, by grounding self-assessment in measurable standards, such as test scores, recorded progress, or expert feedback, rather than merely relying on subjective feelings. This practice not only clarifies what one knows but also sharpens one’s ability to judge that knowledge.
32. According to paragraph 3, what did participants who scored lowest on the tests do?
A. Underestimated top participants’ ability. B. Overestimated their own performance.
C. Thought they performed averagely. D. Doubted the reliability of the results.
33. Why does the author mention the term “dual burden”?
A. To explain the underlying cause of overconfidence.
B. To introduce a new method for psychological testing.
C. To contrast the different burdens faced by participants.
D. To emphasize the difficulty of performing complex tasks.
34. What does developing true confidence involve?
A. Intense competition and high ambition.
B. Powerful inspiration and active learning.
C. Critical thinking and self-encouragement.
D. Objective evaluation and honest reflection.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Self-Awareness Shapes Ability.
B. Cognitive Bias Replaces Thinking.
C. Confidence Outruns Competence.
D. Overconfidence Can Be a Good Thing.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍邓宁-克鲁格效应,即能力不足的人常会盲目高估自身水平;通过心理学家的相关实验印证该现象,用“双重负担”解释成因,并说明该效应的现实弊端以及培养真正自信的可行方法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“To the researchers’ surprise, participants who scored in the lowest group consistently rated their performance much higher than it actually was.(令研究人员意外的是,得分垫底的受试者总是高估自己的实际表现。)”可知,得分最低的受试者高估了自身表现。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“According to researchers, this pattern can be explained by a “dual burden.” The skills needed to perform a task well are also required to judge one’s own performance.(研究人员表示,这种规律可以用“双重负担”理论来解释:出色完成一项任务所需的能力,同样也是评判自身表现所必备的能力。)”及“When people lack these skills, they not only make more mistakes but also fail to assess their performance accurately.(当人们缺少这类能力时,不仅更容易出错,也无法客观评判自身水平。)”可知,作者提出“双重负担”是为了解释过度自信的内在成因。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第五段“It is developed through continuous learning, actively seeking constructive criticism, and, most crucially, by grounding self-assessment in measurable standards, such as test scores, recorded progress, or expert feedback, rather than merely relying on subjective feelings.(真正的自信心依靠持续学习、主动寻求建设性的批评建议来养成,而最关键的是:依托考试分数、成长记录或专家反馈等可量化标准进行自我评价,而非单纯凭借主观感受。)”可知,培养真正的自信需要客观评估与诚恳反思。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“However, psychological research suggests that the opposite can also be true: individuals with limited ability may display surprisingly high levels of confidence while remaining largely unaware of their limitations. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.(然而心理学研究表明事实可能恰恰相反:一些能力有限的人却表现出超乎寻常的高度自信,并且大多意识不到自身的短板,该现象被称作邓宁-克鲁格效应。)”及全文内容可知,全文围绕邓宁-克鲁格效应展开,核心内容是部分人自信远超自身实际能力,因此最佳标题为“自信远超实力”。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____36____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays.
Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____37____ That had never happened before.
Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____38____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day.
____39____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.
By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____40____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds.
A. But lately, I noticed the weight it carried.
B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.
C. I even finished a chapter before checking the time.
D. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.
E. It made me realize how popular phones are nowadays.
F. Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving.
G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety.

【导语】文章主要介绍作者改掉晨起刷手机的坏习惯,连续五个工作日尝试晨间远离手机,先后用读书、冷水澡、跑步、写日记、品读旧信件开启清晨,最终摆脱了刷屏带来的焦虑,体会到无手机的清晨能收获安宁与自在。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Doomscrolling had become my morning routine.(刷屏成瘾已经成了我早上的固定习惯。)”以及后文“I started each day tense and anxious.(我每天一早醒来就紧张焦虑。)”可知,前文讲述刷手机的习惯,后文讲述负面后果,空处转折,点明自己察觉到刷手机带来的负担;选项A“But lately, I noticed the weight it carried.(但不久之后,我察觉到了它带来的沉重负担。)”贴合上下文逻辑。

【38题详解】
根据前文“The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective.(第二天我尝试冷水浴,想用这种方式彻底清醒,冷水带来的刺激效果出奇地好。)”可知,空前说明作者尝试冷水浴使自己清醒,空处承接洗完冷水澡后的结果;选项B“This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.(之后我的头脑变得格外清醒。)”符合语境。
【39题详解】
根据后文“On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper.(周四我伏案写日记,不用顾及旁人,只是把思绪落在纸上。) ”及“On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface.(周五我重读旧信件,任由回忆涌上心头。)” 可知,周四、周五的活动都是静心思索;选项F“Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving.(有些清晨,我静心思考的时间远比活动的时间多。)”总领本段。
【40题详解】
根据前文“By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened.(一周结束时,想要查看手机的欲望已经变淡。)”以及后文“Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible.(这些远离手机的清晨证明我们可以拥有宁静的晨起时光。)”可知,空前说明想要查看手机的欲望变淡,空后说明远离手机带来宁静的时光,空处应承接欲望减弱带来的改变;选项D“That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.(这也就意味着我醒来后不再下意识去拿手机。)”衔接通顺。

【解析】
【导语】文章以上海最后一家幸存报刊亭的变迁为线索,通过讲述经营者蒋俊的坚守故事,展现传统报刊零售行业在时代变迁中的挣扎与新生。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句关系代词。句意:上海有很多文化区,其中一个是该市最后一个幸存报刊亭的所在地,这个报刊亭在搬到现在的位置后迎来了新的繁荣。 空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是cultural zones,指物,在从句中作介词of的宾语,所以用关系代词which。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:搬迁被媒体广泛报道,吸引了各个年龄段的游客。 空格处作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,draw和上文句子之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词drawing。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:这个已经存在了二十多年的报刊亭,被当地媒体称为上海印刷零售业的“活化石”。 in existence是固定短语,意为“存在;现有”,所以用exist的名词形式existence作介词in的宾语。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:蒋俊1988年开始在邮政系统管理印刷零售,因年销售60万份报纸,被评为邮政系统全国劳动模范。空格处是谓语动词,句子的主语Jiang与动词recognize之间是被动关系,且动作发生在过去,用一般过去时的被动语态,结构为“was/were+过去分词”,主语是单数,所以填was recognized。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:2019年,当他60岁应该退休时,上海数千个报刊亭因新媒体和无序商业模式的影响而关闭,位于他现在店铺200米处的这个报刊亭成为该市最后一个幸存的报刊亭。 空格处是谓语动词,句子描述的是2019年发生的事情,用一般过去时,leave的过去式是left。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:2019年,当他60岁应该退休时,上海数千个报刊亭因新媒体和无序商业模式的影响而关闭,位于他现在店铺200米处的这个报刊亭成为该市最后一个幸存的报刊亭。固定搭配“距离+from+地点”表示“离某地有……距离”,所以用介词from。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:蒋俊选择推迟退休,继续经营报刊亭,以确保读者仍然可以线下购买报纸。 空格处作目的状语,表示蒋俊推迟退休的目的,所以用动词不定式to ensure。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,门上的关闭通知引发了公众的兴趣,导致各地区政府、办公园区和文化机构提供免租金的场地。动词短语leading to中的to是介词,后面接名词作宾语,根据下文的from various district governments, office parks可知,此处应该用名词offer的复数形式offers。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意:然而,门上的关闭通知引发了公众的兴趣,导致各地区政府、办公园区和文化机构提供免租金的场地。 空格处连接并列的名词短语various district governments, office parks和cultural institutions,所以用连词and。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:最终,这家店搬迁到了胜利电影院附近的一个文化区。 空格处修饰整个句子作状语,需要用副词形式;eventual是形容词,其副词形式eventually表示“最终;终于”,注意句首单词首字母大写。

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。
“All right, class, settle down!” my teacher, Ms. Garcia, announced. “Today, you are going to write about your best friend in real life. I want specific details. Begin!”
I sat with my pencil over my paper. For a moment, I hesitated. I knew I didn’t really have someone like that. Still, I lowered my head and began to write: My best friend is Hayley. She plays the cello (大提琴), like I do, and we go to orchestra every Saturday. She makes people laugh, and whenever I feel nervous, she tells me, “You’ve got this.” We’ve been best friends since fourth grade. I knew Hayley wasn’t real, but it was easier than explaining why I didn’t have a best friend.
In fact, there was a girl in my orchestra class, Emily, who usually practiced the cello in the music room. Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold after a rehearsal (排练) and gave me an encouraging smile. “You’ve got this,” she said softly. I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage, never showing the slightest impatience. We didn’t talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation, but I couldn’t forget her kindness. Without realizing it, I had borrowed her for the role of Hayley.
At school, I didn’t have real friends. My classmates were polite and kind, but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out. When loneliness came over, I would imagine someone like Emily beside me, her gentle voice offering encouragement. She was the friend I wished I could have.
The next day, Ms. Garcia returned my essay with a bright red “A”. “Hayley sounds wonderful! I’ve signed you and her up to perform a cello duo (二重奏) at next Friday’s Cultural Festival.” My heart skipped a beat. The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap. I was totally at a loss.
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: Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia and told her the truth.

Paragraph 2: The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Paragraph 1: Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia and told her the truth. My voice trembling, I admitted that Hayley wasn’t real. To my surprise, instead of being angry, she listened quietly and smiled. “It takes courage to tell the truth,” she said, patting me gently. “Maybe this is your chance to find a real partner. Just start with a hello.” For the first time, I felt a little lighter, as if I had stepped out from behind the story I had created. Her words finally encouraged me to take that step.
Paragraph 2: The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily. She was practicing as usual, focused and calm. Gathering my courage, I told her everything and asked if she would play with me. Without the slightest hesitation, she broke into that familiar, encouraging smile. “Of course. You’ve got this,” she replied softly. After several rehearsals, we finally stood on the festival stage side by side, and I saw my teacher smiling in the crowd. Our harmonious performance convinced me that the friendship I had courageously won worked wonders, even though Hayley never truly existed.

Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
24. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs. B. Living a double life between work and family.
C. Balancing her dream with family’s expectations. D. Seeking a balance between reality and fantasy.
25. What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Obeyed. B. Panicked. C. Protested. D. Wondered.
26. What might Maya learn from her submission experience?
A. Getting published isn’t hard. B. Standing your ground is a virtue.
C. You have to pay a fee to get recognized. D. You have to compromise sometimes to succeed.
27. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?
A. Choose proper material. B. Turn storms into stories.
C. Build castle before dreaming. D. Dream big and dare to fail.
C
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
28. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Why was the experiment conducted. B. Where was the beef preserved well.
C. How was the experiment carried out. D. What did the scientists compare.
30. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time. B. It performs best at room temperature.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration closely relates to storage life.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Fully convinced. B. Cautiously optimistic.
C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective.
D
Many people believe that confidence comes from ability. In other words, if someone speaks with certainty, they must know what they are talking about. However, psychological research suggests that the opposite can also be true: individuals with limited ability may display surprisingly high levels of confidence while remaining largely unaware of their limitations. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
People with this cognitive bias (偏见) tend to believe they are far more capable than they really are. Because they know little about a subject, they often mistake their limited understanding for real competence and remain unaware of how much they do not know.
This idea was first examined by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. In a series of experiments, participants were asked to complete tests involving grammar, logical reasoning, and humor. After finishing the tasks, they were asked to estimate how well they had performed. To the researchers’ surprise, participants who scored in the lowest group consistently rated their performance much higher than it actually was. For example, those in the bottom 12% often believed they had performed above average. In contrast, participants who achieved high scores tended to underestimate their performance.
According to researchers, this pattern can be explained by a “dual burden.” The skills needed to perform a task well are also required to judge one’s own performance. When people lack these skills, they not only make more mistakes but also fail to assess their performance accurately.
The Dunning-Kruger effect has important real-world consequences, as it discourages individuals from seeking feedback or further study. To overcome this, one must understand that true confidence is built on accurate self-awareness. It is developed through continuous learning, actively seeking constructive criticism, and, most crucially, by grounding self-assessment in measurable standards, such as test scores, recorded progress, or expert feedback, rather than merely relying on subjective feelings. This practice not only clarifies what one knows but also sharpens one’s ability to judge that knowledge.
32. According to paragraph 3, what did participants who scored lowest on the tests do?
A. Underestimated top participants’ ability. B. Overestimated their own performance.
C. Thought they performed averagely. D. Doubted the reliability of the results.
33. Why does the author mention the term “dual burden”?
A. To explain the underlying cause of overconfidence.
B. To introduce a new method for psychological testing.
C. To contrast the different burdens faced by participants.
D. To emphasize the difficulty of performing complex tasks.
34. What does developing true confidence involve?
A. Intense competition and high ambition.
B. Powerful inspiration and active learning.
C. Critical thinking and self-encouragement.
D. Objective evaluation and honest reflection.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Self-Awareness Shapes Ability.
B. Cognitive Bias Replaces Thinking.
C. Confidence Outruns Competence.
D. Overconfidence Can Be a Good Thing.

I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____36____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays.
Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____37____ That had never happened before.
Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____38____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day.
____39____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.
By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____40____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds.
A. But lately, I noticed the weight it carried.
B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.
C. I even finished a chapter before checking the time.
D. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.
E. It made me realize how popular phones are nowadays.
F. Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving.
G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety.

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。
“All right, class, settle down!” my teacher, Ms. Garcia, announced. “Today, you are going to write about your best friend in real life. I want specific details. Begin!”
I sat with my pencil over my paper. For a moment, I hesitated. I knew I didn’t really have someone like that. Still, I lowered my head and began to write: My best friend is Hayley. She plays the cello (大提琴), like I do, and we go to orchestra every Saturday. She makes people laugh, and whenever I feel nervous, she tells me, “You’ve got this.” We’ve been best friends since fourth grade. I knew Hayley wasn’t real, but it was easier than explaining why I didn’t have a best friend.
In fact, there was a girl in my orchestra class, Emily, who usually practiced the cello in the music room. Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold after a rehearsal (排练) and gave me an encouraging smile. “You’ve got this,” she said softly. I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage, never showing the slightest impatience. We didn’t talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation, but I couldn’t forget her kindness. Without realizing it, I had borrowed her for the role of Hayley.
At school, I didn’t have real friends. My classmates were polite and kind, but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out. When loneliness came over, I would imagine someone like Emily beside me, her gentle voice offering encouragement. She was the friend I wished I could have.
The next day, Ms. Garcia returned my essay with a bright red “A”. “Hayley sounds wonderful! I’ve signed you and her up to perform a cello duo (二重奏) at next Friday’s Cultural Festival.” My heart skipped a beat. The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap. I was totally at a loss.
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: Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia and told her the truth.
