Literally, “laoji” means “the old self”. Although calling ourselves this way is a bit funny, it makes us feel warm at heart. It is like talking to a good old friend—relaxed and caring. To ring in the New Year, here are some tips for you to love laoji more in the coming year. Don’t Chase Perfection. Waiting to be perfect often means never starting. Many people put things off because they’re afraid of making mistakes. But doing something imperfect is better than doing nothing at all. Start small. Learn as you go. The first step matters most. Take Real Rest. Real rest isn’t sleeping all day or staying up late on your phone. That only makes you more tired. Try active rest—gentle activities that help your body and mind recover. Feel the sunshine, go for a walk, stretch a little, or listen to music you like. Choose one or two small things each day to recharge (充电). Talk to Yourself Kindly. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. When things go wrong, don’t be too hard on laoji. Try saying, “It’s okay,” or “I’ll try again next time.” Treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend. Comments: ·Alissa: Me reading this at 1 a.m. while still scrolling... okay fine, I’ll go to bed. Love you, laoji. ·Bryan: Talking to yourself in the third person really helps. In psychology (心理学), it’s called self-distancing. It means stepping back a little and not getting stuck in your feelings. It’s useful, especially during stressful times. ·Lora: Didn’t expect a phrase like this to hit so hard. Gonna try being nicer to laoji this year. ( ) 26. The underlined phrase “put things off” in Paragraph 3 probably means to “________”. A. prepare things carefully B. leave things until later C. give things away D. forget things completely ( ) 27. According to the passage, which of the following is active rest? A. Working at a desk for long hours. B. Sleeping all day. C. Staying up late scrolling on the phone. D. Taking a walk outdoors. ( ) 28. What does Bryan mainly want to tell us? A. It’s OK to avoid stressful situations. B. The third-person talk helps manage feelings. C. Psychology terms are not hard to understand. D. Everyone should learn a little psychology. ( ) 29. Which of the following actions are recommended (推荐) for students like you? ①Xiaoming wants to start a project but worries it won’t be perfect, so he begins with a small step anyway. ②Anna gives up on difficult homework because it makes her feel stressed. ③Tom fails a test and tells himself, “It’s okay. I’ll try again next time.” ④Jerry studies psychology terms to control his feelings. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②④ D. ①③ ( ) 30. What is the writer’s attitude towards the phrase “Love you, laoji”? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Humorous. D. Supportive. 【主旨大意】 本文介绍了流行语“爱你老己”的含义，并给出了在新的一年里更好地关爱自己的三条建议：不追求完美、真正休息、友善地对自己说话，以及读者对此的积极反馈。 26.B【26题详解】第三段指出：“Many people put things off because they’re afraid of making mistakes.”。根据因果逻辑，害怕犯错会导致人们拖延或推迟做事，因此“put things off”意为“推迟、拖延”，与“leave things until later”同义。 27.D【27题详解】第四段明确描述了积极休息的方式：“Try active rest—gentle activities that help your body and mind recover. Feel the sunshine, go for a walk...”，因此，户外散步属于积极休息。 28.B【28题详解】Bryan的评论中指出：“Talking to yourself in the third person really helps. In psychology, it’s called self-distancing... It’s useful, especially during stressful times.”，这表明他主要想说明这种说话方式有助于管理情绪。 29.D【29题详解】①对应第三段建议：“Start small. Learn as you go.”（从小开始，边做边学），小明即使担心不完美仍从小步开始，符合推荐。③对应第五段建议：“Try saying, ‘It’s okay,’ or ‘I’ll try again next time.’”（试着说“没关系”或“下次再试”），汤姆考试失败后这样鼓励自己，符合推荐。②中安娜放弃作业，与文章鼓励面对挫折的态度相反；④中学心理学术语并非文章明确推荐，Bryan仅提及概念而非建议学习。因此①③正确。 30.D【30题详解】第一段提到：“Although calling ourselves this way is a bit funny, it makes us feel warm at heart. It is like talking to a good old friend...”，随后给出具体建议去爱自己，可见作者对该短语持支持态度。 C Kunqu (昆曲) was added to UNESCO’s World Intangible Cultural Heritage (联合国教科文组织的世界非物质文化遗产) list in 2001. The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), one of its most famous works, was written in 1598 by Tang Xianzu. It tells the story of Du Liniang, a young woman from a rich family. She dies for love after dreaming of a romantic meeting with the scholar Liu Mengmei, and later comes back to life when he finds her. A youth version (青年版) of The Peony Pavilion was first shown in Taipei 22 years ago. This is a great work of Kunqu Opera. On January 15, 2026, a special “campus (校园) youth” version was performed for the first time in Taiwan, China. This campus version is a shortened performance of the nine-hour youth show. It came from a project started in 2024 to ask young people to join in protecting Kunqu. The project selected 50 students from 29 universities with little professional Kunqu training. They practiced for nearly nine months and performed the campus version in Suzhou, Kunqu’s birthplace, in April 2025. Young people have always been the main listeners of the youth version. Since its first show, the youth version has been performed at over ten universities. “Our goal is to help college students enjoy the beauty of Kunqu, so they can feel closer to traditional Chinese culture,” said 88-year-old Pai Hsien-yung, the art director of the project. In fact, this campus version brings fresh energy to the classic The Peony Pavilion, allowing the ancient art of Kunqu to reach young people and gain new life. ( ) 31. Who wrote the great work The Peony Pavilion? A. Tang Xianzu. B. Du Liniang. C. Liu Mengmei. D. Pai Hsien-yung. ( ) 32. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The 2026 campus version. B. The art of Kunqu Opera itself. C. The story between Du and Liu. D. The youth version of The Peony Pavilion. ( ) 33. What is special about the campus youth version? A. It is shorter than the youth version. B. It was performed by professional actors. C. It was first shown in Suzhou. D. It is mainly enjoyed by common people. ( ) 34. Why did Pai Hsien-yung start the 2024 project? A. To let students perform a shorter campus show. B. To train professional Kunqu actors for the future. C. To encourage young people to protect and pass on Kunqu. D. To make young people enjoy traditional Chinese opera. ( ) 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Story of The Peony Pavilion B. A New Life of a Kunqu Classic C. How to Become a Kunqu Actor D. A Project for College Students 【主旨大意】 本文介绍了昆曲《牡丹亭》的经典地位，以及校园青年版改编演出的推广项目，展现古老昆曲在当代青年群体中焕发的全新生命力。 31.A【31题详解】第一段原文指出“The Peony Pavilion...was written in 1598 by Tang Xianzu”，明确作者是Tang Xianzu。 32.D【32题详解】第二段提到“A youth version of The Peony Pavilion was first shown in Taipei 22 years ago”，后文“This is a great work of Kunqu Opera”，因此This指代前文提到的《牡丹亭》青年版本。 33.A【33题详解】第三段写明“This campus version is a shortened performance of the nine-hour youth show”，说明校园版本比青年版篇幅更短。 34.C【34题详解】第三段原文“It came from a project started in 2024 to ask young people to join in protecting Kunqu”，以及尾段“help college students enjoy the beauty of Kunqu”，项目初衷是号召年轻人保护、传承昆曲。 35.B【35题详解】全文围绕经典昆曲《牡丹亭》推出青年校园改编版、走进高校、重获新生展开，核心主旨为昆曲经典的全新传承与新生，因此最佳标题“A New Life of a Kunqu Classic”。 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) When we shop at a supermarket, we often buy more than we need. This may not be our fault—supermarkets control the way we shop. Every detail is planned. The walkways, music, lights, and advertisements all encourage us to spend more money. From the moment we enter, the design of a supermarket controls the way we experience the store. Usually, there is one entrance and one exit (出口). Fruits, vegetables, and bread are near the entrance. Fresh vegetables and the smell of bread make the store appear fresh and attractive. This makes us feel good and want to buy more. In addition, we often walk through the whole store to find what we need. Milk and eggs are usually at the back. Popular products are in the middle. Expensive ones are at eye level for easy reach, while cheaper goods are on lower shelves, requiring us to bend down. The payment area is usually at the exit. In this way, we see more food and spend more. Supermarkets use other means to influence shopping, too. Slow music makes people shop more slowly and spend more. In a study, shoppers spent 38% more when slow music was played instead of fast music. Most stores also have no clocks or windows, so we lose track of time and stay longer. So how can we avoid buying too much? First, make a shopping list and only buy what is on it. Second, shop less often—plan meals for several days and shop once or twice a week. Lastly, do not shop when you are hungry, because everything looks delicious then. Aspects Details 36 design Fresh vegetables and the smell of bread make the store look fresh and attractive. Product positions Cheaper goods are put on lower shelves, so shoppers have to 37 down to get them. Shopping environment Without clocks or windows, shoppers may lose track of time and stay 38 . Smart shopping tips •Make a shopping 39 and buy only what you need. •When people are hungry, everything looks 40 . 【主旨大意】 本文为说明文，分析超市通过设计、商品摆放、环境营造等方式促使顾客多消费，并给出避免过度消费的建议。 36. Supermarket##Store【36题详解】第二段“From the moment we enter, the design of a supermarket controls the way we experience the store.”可知，此处指超市的设计，首字母大写，故填Supermarket/Store。 37. bend【37题详解】根据第三段“...cheaper goods are on lower shelves, requiring us to bend down.”可知，便宜的商品在下层货架，顾客需要弯腰拿，have to后接动词原形，故填bend。 38. longer【38题详解】根据第四段“Most stores also have no clocks or windows, so we lose track of time and stay longer.”可知，超市无时钟和窗户，顾客会忘记时间，停留更久，故填longer。 39. list 【39题详解】根据最后一段“First, make a shopping list and only buy what is on it.”可知，要列购物清单，故填list。 40. delicious【40题详解】根据最后一段“Lastly, do not shop when you are hungry, because everything looks delicious then.” 可知，人饿的时候，所有东西看起来都很美味，故填delicious。 五、词语运用(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) A)根据首字母提示，填写单词 41.Many v help old people.

Seashells It is said that the first kind of money was seashells. People used them as money around 3,000 years ago. Then, people learned to make metal (金属) coins, which were made of gold, silver, iron (铁) and so on. The earliest coins were made of gold. They were from Lydia (an ancient country), and were used around 600 BCE. Paper money The first paper money, called jiaozi, appeared in China’s Song Dynasty. In the 1600s, banks of Sweden (瑞典) started giving out paper money. It has become popular around the world and is still used widely today. Digital money Now, people often pay for things online.

Although calling ourselves this way is a bit funny, it makes us feel warm at heart. It is like talking to a good old friend—relaxed and caring. To ring in the New Year, here are some tips for you to love laoji more in the coming year. Don’t Chase Perfection. Waiting to be perfect often means never starting. Many people put things off because they’re afraid of making mistakes. But doing something imperfect is better than doing nothing at all. Start small. Learn as you go. The first step matters most. Take Real Rest. Real rest isn’t sleeping all day or staying up late on your phone. That only makes you more tired. Try active rest—gentle activities that help your body and mind recover. Feel the sunshine, go for a walk, stretch a little, or listen to music you like. Choose one or two small things each day to recharge (充电). Talk to Yourself Kindly. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. When things go wrong, don’t be too hard on laoji. Try saying, “It’s okay,” or “I’ll try again next time.” Treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend. Comments: ·Alissa: Me reading this at 1 a.m. while still scrolling... okay fine, I’ll go to bed. Love you, laoji. ·Bryan: Talking to yourself in the third person really helps. In psychology (心理学), it’s called self-distancing. It means stepping back a little and not getting stuck in your feelings. It’s useful, especially during stressful times. ·Lora: Didn’t expect a phrase like this to hit so hard. Gonna try being nicer to laoji this year. ( ) 26. The underlined phrase “put things off” in Paragraph 3 probably means to “________”. A. prepare things carefully B. leave things until later C. give things away D. forget things completely ( ) 27. According to the passage, which of the following is active rest? A. Working at a desk for long hours. B. Sleeping all day. C. Staying up late scrolling on the phone. D. Taking a walk outdoors. ( ) 28. What does Bryan mainly want to tell us? A. It’s OK to avoid stressful situations. B. The third-person talk helps manage feelings. C. Psychology terms are not hard to understand. D. Everyone should learn a little psychology. ( ) 29. Which of the following actions are recommended (推荐) for students like you? ①Xiaoming wants to start a project but worries it won’t be perfect, so he begins with a small step anyway. ②Anna gives up on difficult homework because it makes her feel stressed. ③Tom fails a test and tells himself, “It’s okay. I’ll try again next time.” ④Jerry studies psychology terms to control his feelings. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②④ D. ①③ ( ) 30. What is the writer’s attitude towards the phrase “Love you, laoji”? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Humorous. D. Supportive. C Kunqu (昆曲) was added to UNESCO’s World Intangible Cultural Heritage (联合国教科文组织的世界非物质文化遗产) list in 2001. The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), one of its most famous works, was written in 1598 by Tang Xianzu. It tells the story of Du Liniang, a young woman from a rich family. She dies for love after dreaming of a romantic meeting with the scholar Liu Mengmei, and later comes back to life when he finds her. A youth version (青年版) of The Peony Pavilion was first shown in Taipei 22 years ago. This is a great work of Kunqu Opera. On January 15, 2026, a special “campus (校园) youth” version was performed for the first time in Taiwan, China. This campus version is a shortened performance of the nine-hour youth show. It came from a project started in 2024 to ask young people to join in protecting Kunqu. The project selected 50 students from 29 universities with little professional Kunqu training. They practiced for nearly nine months and performed the campus version in Suzhou, Kunqu’s birthplace, in April 2025. Young people have always been the main listeners of the youth version. Since its first show, the youth version has been performed at over ten universities. “Our goal is to help college students enjoy the beauty of Kunqu, so they can feel closer to traditional Chinese culture,” said 88-year-old Pai Hsien-yung, the art director of the project. In fact, this campus version brings fresh energy to the classic The Peony Pavilion, allowing the ancient art of Kunqu to reach young people and gain new life. ( ) 31. Who wrote the great work The Peony Pavilion? A. Tang Xianzu. B. Du Liniang. C. Liu Mengmei. D. Pai Hsien-yung. ( ) 32. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The 2026 campus version. B. The art of Kunqu Opera itself. C. The story between Du and Liu. D. The youth version of The Peony Pavilion. ( ) 33. What is special about the campus youth version? A. It is shorter than the youth version. B. It was performed by professional actors. C. It was first shown in Suzhou. D. It is mainly enjoyed by common people. ( ) 34. Why did Pai Hsien-yung start the 2024 project? A. To let students perform a shorter campus show. B. To train professional Kunqu actors for the future. C. To encourage young people to protect and pass on Kunqu. D. To make young people enjoy traditional Chinese opera. ( ) 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Story of The Peony Pavilion B. A New Life of a Kunqu Classic C. How to Become a Kunqu Actor D. A Project for College Students 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) When we shop at a supermarket, we often buy more than we need. This may not be our fault—supermarkets control the way we shop. Every detail is planned. The walkways, music, lights, and advertisements all encourage us to spend more money. From the moment we enter, the design of a supermarket controls the way we experience the store. Usually, there is one entrance and one exit (出口). Fruits, vegetables, and bread are near the entrance. Fresh vegetables and the smell of bread make the store appear fresh and attractive. This makes us feel good and want to buy more. In addition, we often walk through the whole store to find what we need. Milk and eggs are usually at the back. Popular products are in the middle. Expensive ones are at eye level for easy reach, while cheaper goods are on lower shelves, requiring us to bend down. The payment area is usually at the exit. In this way, we see more food and spend more. Supermarkets use other means to influence shopping, too. Slow music makes people shop more slowly and spend more. In a study, shoppers spent 38% more when slow music was played instead of fast music. Most stores also have no clocks or windows, so we lose track of time and stay longer. So how can we avoid buying too much? First, make a shopping list and only buy what is on it. Second, shop less often—plan meals for several days and shop once or twice a week. Lastly, do not shop when you are hungry, because everything looks delicious then. Aspects Details 36 design Fresh vegetables and the smell of bread make the store look fresh and attractive.
