On July 22, a fire suddenly broke out in Jasper National Park, spreading quickly and causing significant damage across the Canadian forest. Among those facing the risky situation was 18-year-old Colleen Knull,a volunteer firefighter working a summer job as part of the kitchen staff in Jasper Lodge.
Knull has less than one year of experience as a firefighter, and was off duty on that July 22 night, but she did not hesitate to take the lead after receiving the order to evacuate (撤离). The volunteer firefighter quickly knocked on the cabin doors at the lodge, informing the guests who were asleep of the danger. Then she searched for other campers in the area. She led a total of 16 people through a difficult four-hour hike in the dark, guiding them all to safety.
Rebecca Tocher, one of the evacuees, recalled how Knull took charge and made sure that everyone was working together during the tense and frightening hike. Tocher said, “There was intense smoke, my eyes were burning, and there was ash falling constantly. Despite the challenges, she remained calm and led us the whole way.”
Fortunately, Knull was familiar with the trail. “I had previously ridden up on a horse up to that lodge on that same trail. And throughout the way, my employer and I had cut logs uphill,” she recalls. “So, I knew there would be 67 cut logs on the way down.” In addition to counting the logs, Knull also relied on horse tracks and horse waste to guide the group safely through the dark to where her truck was parked. Knull managed to pack all 16 people inside and drove them to safety without any serious injuries.
Knull, who is training to become a full-time firefighter, demonstrates that bravery and resourcefulness are essential in any dangerous situation. But what truly sets her apart is her sympathy for others. She explains, “I do it because, at the end of the day, I know I’d want to go home — but I’d also want someone there to help.”
24. What did Knull initially do after receiving the evacuation order?
A. She searched campsites nearby. B. She messaged other firefighters.
C. She evacuated her kitchen workers. D. She awakened the guests at the lodge.
25. What impressed Tocher most about Knull?
A. Her good physical quality. B. Her remarkable leadership.
C. Her patience with the hikers. D. Her resistance to heavy smoke.
26. How did Knull walk the 16 people downhill?
A. By applying her tracking skills. B. By clearing the path of cut logs.
C. By getting a horse leading the way. D. By contacting rescue crew for help.
27. Why does the author cite Knull’s words in the last paragraph?
A. To praise her ambition. B. To express her frankness.
C. To show her daily routine. D. To highlight her kindness.
C
Stress, challenges and failure are a part of life, but how we emotionally respond to them can shape our future. As Shakespeare put it, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. This reflects the power of an emotion-regulation strategy psychologists call cognitive reappraisal (认知重评), or reframing. It showcases a powerful capacity that humans have to change their own emotional experiences by changing not the situation, but what the situation means to them.
Psychologists describe two main ways to do this. One is reinterpreting a situation, or “looking on the bright side.” For example, a minor car accident is stressful, but you could reframe it by focusing on the fact that no one got hurt. Or perhaps you can find a silver lining — a hidden benefit — in the situation. The other method is psychological distancing. With this, you don’t change the event’s meaning, but you change how important it is to you by imagining yourself far in the future. You could ask yourself: how likely is it that I will even remember this event 10 years from now?
Research shows that cognitive reappraisal can reduce negative emotions like sadness and increase positive ones like hope. Over time, this contributes to greater well-being and less depression. The strategy works by affecting our brain’s emotional response. Neuroimaging studies show that cognitive reappraisal engages the brain’s thinking center. This area then helps to calm our brain’s internal threat detector, leading to less negative emotion.
However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality. It is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Psychologists warn against “toxic positivity”, where you might lie to yourself just to feel better. The key is to see reframing not as a magical cure, but as one useful instrument in our “emotional toolbox”, which we can select and use wisely depending on the situation.
28. Why does the author quote Shakespeare’s words in paragraph 1?
A. To prove Shakespeare’s influence.
B. To introduce the power of reframing.
C. To suggest life is full of uncertainty.
D. To define cognitive reappraisal directly.
29. Which of the following is an example of psychological distancing?
A. Reflecting on whether a small quarrel will matter in a decade.
B. Focusing on the fact that a broken phone didn’t cause data loss.
C. Viewing a delayed flight as a chance to finish an unfinished book.
D. Considering a lost competition as a lesson for future improvement.
30. What does the underlined phrase “toxic positivity” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Stress from too much positivity.
B. Fake positivity in social interactions.
C. Harmful optimism ignoring reality.
D. Positive thinking for emotional relief.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards cognitive reappraisal?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful.
C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
D
Scientists have long explored to turn the mechanical energy of raindrops into electricity. However, traditional droplet (液滴) generators have problems like being heavy, expensive, and hard to make in large sizes. A team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has created a new floating droplet electricity generator. It uses water in its structure, making it lighter, cheaper and more eco-friendly.
Unlike most existing generators that use solid platforms and metal electrode (电极), the new device floats on water. Water here works both as a support and a conductive electrode. This special design cuts the device’s weight by about 80% and its cost by nearly half, while it still produces as much electricity as traditional systems.
When a raindrop hits the floating layer of the generator, the water below takes in the impact and helps the drop spread out. At the same time, ions (离子) in the water carry electric charges. Together, these things let the generator make about 250 volts of electricity from one raindrop. The generator also has smart drainage holes. These holes use water’s surface tension to remove extra water without letting it flow back, so the generator works stably. It can also work well in different temperatures and salt levels, even in natural lake water. Its special structure makes it strong enough for bad environments.
Another advantage of this new technology is its capacity for large-scale production. Researchers built a 0.3-square-meter model, which is much bigger than earlier ones. It can power 50 LEDs at the same time and charge small batteries in minutes. This means it could be used to power small electronic devices and sensors on lakes or near the sea, without taking up any land.
Professor Wanlin Guo, who led the study, said this “nature-integrated” design is a big step for cheap and light hydropower systems. These systems can work with solar and wind power. Besides making electricity, the technology can also help monitor water environments, like powering sensors that check water quality. Of course, there are still challenges. For example, raindrops fall unevenly, and the generator’s long-term outdoor use needs more testing. But this floating generator is still an important progress for practical hydropower use.
32. What is the main advantage of the floating generator over traditional ones?
A. It uses eco-friendly metal electrodes. B. It produces higher voltage per raindrop.
C. It works efficiently in desert environments. D. It reduces weight and cost significantly.
33. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The materials used to make the new generator.
B. The working environment of the new generator.
C. The working principle and strengths of the new generator.
D. The differences between the new generator and traditional ones.
34. The 0.3-square-meter model in Para 4 demonstrates ________.
A. the generator’s powerful capacity B. the larger size of traditional versions
C. the reliability of outdoor operations D. the ability to monitor the water quality
35. What is the author’s attitude toward the new generator?
A. Doubtful about its practical value.
B. Unconcerned about its technical details.
C. Cautiously optimistic about its future use.
D. Confident that it will replace other energy sources.

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。
Mr. Evans’s class poetry competition was the big event those days. He required students to present their self-created works one by one, with scores given by Mr. Evan to determine the best! For weeks, everyone in class was working on their poems. You could hear people whispering lines, crossing out words, and starting over. Everyone was trying to write something real. Well, everyone except Maya.
Maya didn’t get poetry. She liked things that made sense - like math problems or programming. You followed the steps, and you got an answer. But poetry? It was all feelings and unclear ideas. It made no sense.
The night before the competition, Maya’s paper was still blank. Panic set in. In a moment of weakness, she went to a fancy AI writer. She typed in a few commands. In seconds, a perfect poem appeared on her screen. It used beautiful words. It was a million times better than anything she could write. Her stomach ached with guilt, but she copied it, put her name on top, and hit “print.”
The next day in class, kids took turns sharing their work. Some voices shook. Some poems were a little awkward, but they felt honest. When Maya read her AI poem, her voice was shaky too-but for a different reason. Her poem sounded like it belonged in a fancy book. When she finished, the room was quiet for a second, then everyone clapped. They were impressed.
But Mr. Evans didn’t clap. He just looked at her with a quiet, knowing look. After class, he asked her to stay. Her heart was pounding. Was she in trouble?
He held up her poem. “You know, Maya,” he said, not angry, just thoughtful. “This poem is… perfect. The words are all in the right place. But it doesn’t sound like you.” He pointed to a line. “A real person would have tripped up here. They would have used a simpler word, maybe. That’s where the real stuff is. This… this feels like a perfect robot.”
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。
Hearing Mr. Evans’ words, Maya’s face went hot.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Determined to create a work of her own, Maya returned to her desk.

【解析】
【原文】Hello, everyone. I’m glad to be here with you to talk about your children’s eyesight. A recent survey says that, in America, about 40% of adults are short-sighted, up from 25% in 1971. Rates have similarly soared in other countries. If current trends continue, half the world’s population will be short-sighted by 2050. What explains this global eyesight crisis? According to scientists, while a family history of near-sightedness raises the risk of a child developing it, a purely genetic case of near-sightedness is rare. Instead, lifestyle factors are thought to be more significant, especially a lack of time outdoors. From 2015 to 2019, the highest nearsightedness rate measured among six-year-old children was 5.7%. In June 2020, after 5 months of lockdown, the rate shot up to 21.5%. To make matters worse, children are becoming nearsighted at a younger age. It’ll take some time to spot the problem and correct it. But the most important thing is that we should help the children keep away from nearsightedness in advance. How? The following methods you can take into consideration in your daily life...

On July 22, a fire suddenly broke out in Jasper National Park, spreading quickly and causing significant damage across the Canadian forest. Among those facing the risky situation was 18-year-old Colleen Knull,a volunteer firefighter working a summer job as part of the kitchen staff in Jasper Lodge.
Knull has less than one year of experience as a firefighter, and was off duty on that July 22 night, but she did not hesitate to take the lead after receiving the order to evacuate (撤离). The volunteer firefighter quickly knocked on the cabin doors at the lodge, informing the guests who were asleep of the danger. Then she searched for other campers in the area. She led a total of 16 people through a difficult four-hour hike in the dark, guiding them all to safety.
Rebecca Tocher, one of the evacuees, recalled how Knull took charge and made sure that everyone was working together during the tense and frightening hike. Tocher said, “There was intense smoke, my eyes were burning, and there was ash falling constantly. Despite the challenges, she remained calm and led us the whole way.”
Fortunately, Knull was familiar with the trail. “I had previously ridden up on a horse up to that lodge on that same trail. And throughout the way, my employer and I had cut logs uphill,” she recalls. “So, I knew there would be 67 cut logs on the way down.” In addition to counting the logs, Knull also relied on horse tracks and horse waste to guide the group safely through the dark to where her truck was parked. Knull managed to pack all 16 people inside and drove them to safety without any serious injuries.
Knull, who is training to become a full-time firefighter, demonstrates that bravery and resourcefulness are essential in any dangerous situation. But what truly sets her apart is her sympathy for others. She explains, “I do it because, at the end of the day, I know I’d want to go home — but I’d also want someone there to help.”
24. What did Knull initially do after receiving the evacuation order?
A. She searched campsites nearby. B. She messaged other firefighters.
C. She evacuated her kitchen workers. D. She awakened the guests at the lodge.
25. What impressed Tocher most about Knull?
A. Her good physical quality. B. Her remarkable leadership.
C. Her patience with the hikers. D. Her resistance to heavy smoke.
26. How did Knull walk the 16 people downhill?
A. By applying her tracking skills. B. By clearing the path of cut logs.
C. By getting a horse leading the way. D. By contacting rescue crew for help.
27. Why does the author cite Knull’s words in the last paragraph?
A. To praise her ambition. B. To express her frankness.
C. To show her daily routine. D. To highlight her kindness.

Stress, challenges and failure are a part of life, but how we emotionally respond to them can shape our future. As Shakespeare put it, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. This reflects the power of an emotion-regulation strategy psychologists call cognitive reappraisal (认知重评), or reframing. It showcases a powerful capacity that humans have to change their own emotional experiences by changing not the situation, but what the situation means to them.
Psychologists describe two main ways to do this. One is reinterpreting a situation, or “looking on the bright side.” For example, a minor car accident is stressful, but you could reframe it by focusing on the fact that no one got hurt. Or perhaps you can find a silver lining — a hidden benefit — in the situation. The other method is psychological distancing. With this, you don’t change the event’s meaning, but you change how important it is to you by imagining yourself far in the future. You could ask yourself: how likely is it that I will even remember this event 10 years from now?
Research shows that cognitive reappraisal can reduce negative emotions like sadness and increase positive ones like hope. Over time, this contributes to greater well-being and less depression. The strategy works by affecting our brain’s emotional response. Neuroimaging studies show that cognitive reappraisal engages the brain’s thinking center. This area then helps to calm our brain’s internal threat detector, leading to less negative emotion.
However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality. It is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Psychologists warn against “toxic positivity”, where you might lie to yourself just to feel better. The key is to see reframing not as a magical cure, but as one useful instrument in our “emotional toolbox”, which we can select and use wisely depending on the situation.
28. Why does the author quote Shakespeare’s words in paragraph 1?
A. To prove Shakespeare’s influence.
B. To introduce the power of reframing.
C. To suggest life is full of uncertainty.
D. To define cognitive reappraisal directly.
29. Which of the following is an example of psychological distancing?
A. Reflecting on whether a small quarrel will matter in a decade.
B. Focusing on the fact that a broken phone didn’t cause data loss.
C. Viewing a delayed flight as a chance to finish an unfinished book.
D. Considering a lost competition as a lesson for future improvement.
30. What does the underlined phrase “toxic positivity” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Stress from too much positivity.
B. Fake positivity in social interactions.
C. Harmful optimism ignoring reality.
D. Positive thinking for emotional relief.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards cognitive reappraisal?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful.
C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种重要的情绪调节策略——认知重评(又称重新构建),阐述了其两种主要方式、科学依据,同时也指出了该策略的局限性,强调应结合实际合理运用。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第1段中“As Shakespeare put it, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. This reflects the power of an emotion-regulation strategy psychologists call cognitive reappraisal (认知重评), or reframing.(正如莎士比亚所说:“世事本无好坏,全凭心境使然”这体现了一种被心理学家称为认知重评(又称重新构建)的情绪调节策略的力量。)”可知,作者引用莎士比亚的话是为了引出认知重评(重新构建)的力量。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第2段中“The other method is psychological distancing. With this, you don’t change the event’s meaning, but you change how important it is to you by imagining yourself far in the future. You could ask yourself: how likely is it that I will even remember this event 10 years from now?(另一种方法是心理疏离。通过这种方法,你不会改变事件的意义,但会通过想象自己处于遥远的未来来改变它对你的重要性。你可以问自己:10年后我还会记得这件事吗?)”可知,思考一次小争吵在十年后是否重要,是通过未来视角降低事件重要性,属于心理疏离的例子。故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第4段中“However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality. It is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Psychologists warn against “toxic positivity”, where you might lie to yourself just to feel better.(然而,认知重评有其局限性,必须与现实相符。它并非万能策略。心理学家警告要警惕……,即你可能为了感觉良好而欺骗自己。)” 可知,“toxic positivity”指的是一种为了维持积极感受而忽视或歪曲事实的做法,这种做法是有害的。选项C“Harmful optimism ignoring reality.(忽视现实的有害乐观主义。)”准确地概括了这层含义。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第3段中“Research shows that cognitive reappraisal can reduce negative emotions like sadness and increase positive ones like hope. Over time, this contributes to greater well-being and less depression.(研究表明,认知重评可以减少悲伤等负面情绪,增加希望等正面情绪。久而久之,这有助于提升幸福感,减少抑郁。)”可知,作者肯定了认知重评的积极作用;又根据第4段中“However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality.(然而,认知重评有其局限性,必须与现实相符。)”可知,作者也客观指出了其不足。由此可判断,作者对认知重评的态度是客观的。故选D。
D
Scientists have long explored to turn the mechanical energy of raindrops into electricity. However, traditional droplet (液滴) generators have problems like being heavy, expensive, and hard to make in large sizes. A team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has created a new floating droplet electricity generator. It uses water in its structure, making it lighter, cheaper and more eco-friendly.
Unlike most existing generators that use solid platforms and metal electrode (电极), the new device floats on water. Water here works both as a support and a conductive electrode. This special design cuts the device’s weight by about 80% and its cost by nearly half, while it still produces as much electricity as traditional systems.
When a raindrop hits the floating layer of the generator, the water below takes in the impact and helps the drop spread out. At the same time, ions (离子) in the water carry electric charges. Together, these things let the generator make about 250 volts of electricity from one raindrop. The generator also has smart drainage holes. These holes use water’s surface tension to remove extra water without letting it flow back, so the generator works stably. It can also work well in different temperatures and salt levels, even in natural lake water. Its special structure makes it strong enough for bad environments.
Another advantage of this new technology is its capacity for large-scale production. Researchers built a 0.3-square-meter model, which is much bigger than earlier ones. It can power 50 LEDs at the same time and charge small batteries in minutes. This means it could be used to power small electronic devices and sensors on lakes or near the sea, without taking up any land.
Professor Wanlin Guo, who led the study, said this “nature-integrated” design is a big step for cheap and light hydropower systems. These systems can work with solar and wind power. Besides making electricity, the technology can also help monitor water environments, like powering sensors that check water quality. Of course, there are still challenges. For example, raindrops fall unevenly, and the generator’s long-term outdoor use needs more testing. But this floating generator is still an important progress for practical hydropower use.
32. What is the main advantage of the floating generator over traditional ones?
A. It uses eco-friendly metal electrodes. B. It produces higher voltage per raindrop.
C. It works efficiently in desert environments. D. It reduces weight and cost significantly.
33. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The materials used to make the new generator.
B. The working environment of the new generator.
C. The working principle and strengths of the new generator.
D. The differences between the new generator and traditional ones.
34. The 0.3-square-meter model in Para 4 demonstrates ________.
A. the generator’s powerful capacity B. the larger size of traditional versions
C. the reliability of outdoor operations D. the ability to monitor the water quality
35. What is the author’s attitude toward the new generator?
A. Doubtful about its practical value.
B. Unconcerned about its technical details.
C. Cautiously optimistic about its future use.
D. Confident that it will replace other energy sources.

Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday.
We were tasked to draw or paint something that impressed us most. Inspired by the fantastic scenery, I decided to create a watercolor painting of the small bridge over the park’s pond, surrounded by blooming flowers.
The entire experience was incredibly refreshing. Being surrounded by nature not only sparked my creativity but also offered a much-needed break from the usual hustle and bustle of school life. I felt a deep sense of peace as I painted.
In a word, it was not just an art class; it was a moment of connection with nature that I truly cherished.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Mr. Evans’s class poetry competition was the big event those days. He required students to present their self-created works one by one, with scores given by Mr. Evan to determine the best! For weeks, everyone in class was working on their poems. You could hear people whispering lines, crossing out words, and starting over. Everyone was trying to write something real. Well, everyone except Maya.
Maya didn’t get poetry. She liked things that made sense - like math problems or programming. You followed the steps, and you got an answer. But poetry? It was all feelings and unclear ideas. It made no sense.
The night before the competition, Maya’s paper was still blank. Panic set in. In a moment of weakness, she went to a fancy AI writer. She typed in a few commands. In seconds, a perfect poem appeared on her screen. It used beautiful words. It was a million times better than anything she could write. Her stomach ached with guilt, but she copied it, put her name on top, and hit “print.”
The next day in class, kids took turns sharing their work. Some voices shook. Some poems were a little awkward, but they felt honest. When Maya read her AI poem, her voice was shaky too-but for a different reason. Her poem sounded like it belonged in a fancy book. When she finished, the room was quiet for a second, then everyone clapped. They were impressed.
But Mr. Evans didn’t clap. He just looked at her with a quiet, knowing look. After class, he asked her to stay. Her heart was pounding. Was she in trouble?
He held up her poem. “You know, Maya,” he said, not angry, just thoughtful. “This poem is… perfect. The words are all in the right place. But it doesn’t sound like you.” He pointed to a line. “A real person would have tripped up here. They would have used a simpler word, maybe. That’s where the real stuff is. This… this feels like a perfect robot.”
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。
Hearing Mr. Evans’ words, Maya’s face went hot.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Determined to create a work of her own, Maya returned to her desk.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Hearing Mr. Evans’ words, Maya’s face went hot. She felt a rush of shame flooding over her. Head down, she admitted in a trembling voice, “Mr. Evans, I didn't write this poem. I used an AI writer because I didn't know how to write a poem myself.” To her surprise, Mr. Evans smiled gently. “It takes courage to admit a mistake. Now, why don't you give it a real try?” His words made Maya determined to prove herself.
Determined to create a work of her own, Maya returned to her desk. She thought about her life, her love for math and programming. Slowly, words began to form in her mind. She wrote about the beauty of numbers and codes, pouring her true feelings onto the paper. Line by line, her poem took shape. It wasn't perfect, but it was real - a reflection of herself. When she finally finished, a sense of pride welled up in her. She couldn't wait to show Mr. Evans her real creation.
