After several failed attempts, he said, “We need to find a way to get this fire started. ___2___ we give up now, we'll have a cold night.”

A篇 (5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面关于校园生活中常见挑战的描述,从右侧A-G的七个建议中,为每个问题(1-5)选择最合适的建议。其中有两项是多余的。
Problems
Advice
1. My family is moving to a new city over the summer. I'm excited but mostly terrified. I won't know anyone, and I’m very shy. How do I start making new friends when school begins in September?
2. My parents both work long hours. I understand they are busy, but I feel like we never do anything fun as a family anymore. Our only “together” time is dinner, and even then, they are often on their phones. I miss them. How can I get their attention?
3. I accidentally saw a text message on my friend’s phone that said something mean about me. I wasn't trying to snoop (偷看), but now I feel hurt and angry. Should I tell her I saw it, or just pretend I didn't?
4. I want to get better grades, but I have a huge problem with procrastination (拖延). I always tell myself I'll start my homework at 7 p.m., but then I end up watching videos until 9 p.m. and rush through everything. How can I stop this cycle?
5. I'm a member of the school basketball team, but our captain is very negative. Whenever someone makes a mistake, he shouts and puts them down. It makes everyone feel nervous and play worse. No one wants to talk to him about it. What can we do?
A. Try a “two-question” rule. Every day, ask two different classmates a simple question about themselves. People like talking about themselves. Before you know it, a conversation will start.
B. Suggest a “Family Fun Hour” once a week where all screens are put into a box. You could take turns choosing an activity: board games, baking cookies, or watching a movie together. Put it on the calendar. Your parents will see it matters to you.
C. Honesty is the best policy. Tell your friend you saw the message by accident and that your feelings are hurt. Use “I” statements. Give her a chance to explain. If she meant it, you need to re-evaluate the friendship.
D. Use the “5-Minute Rule.” Tell yourself you only have to do your homework for 5 minutes. Anyone can do 5 minutes. Often, starting is the hardest part. After 5 minutes, you’ll likely find it’s not so bad and keep going. Also, leave your phone in another room.
E. Team meetings aren't just for coaches. As a group, calmly explain to the captain how his shouting affects the team’s performance. Use examples. Suggest a positive replacement, like a team high-five after a mistake, instead of a shout.
F. Write down the things you're worried about. Sometimes putting fears on paper takes away their power. Then, think of one small thing you can do on the very first day. One step at a time.
G. Start a small school club about something you love. Being an organizer gives you a natural reason to talk to people. You will attract others who share your interest.
B篇 (6小题,每小题2分,共12分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In our fast-paced digital world, a quiet but powerful movement is growing: the “attention economy” (注意力经济). This term, coined by psychologist and economist Herbert A. Simon, describes a simple shift. In an age of information overload, human attention has become the most valuable currency. Companies like social media platforms, video games, and news websites are not just selling products; they are in the business of capturing and selling your focus.
Every time you scroll through a feed, watch a recommended video, or get a notification, you are spending a form of wealth: your attention. The business model of many tech giants is built on keeping you engaged for as long as possible. The longer you look, the more ads you see, and the more money they make. To achieve this, they use powerful design techniques. Infinite scroll (无限滚动) removes the natural stop point of a “page end”. Push notifications are designed to trigger a feeling of urgency. These features, while convenient, can turn our devices into attention-trapping machines.
This has real consequences. For students, it means struggling to focus on homework for more than ten minutes without checking a phone. For families, it can mean “phubbing” (phone snubbing), where members ignore each other in favor of their screens. The constant switching of tasks also reduces our ability to think deeply and creatively. However, awareness of the attention economy is the first step to fighting back. By understanding that our attention is being harvested, we can take back control. Simple actions like turning off notifications, scheduling “phone-free” hours, and using grayscale mode (灰度模式) to make screens less appealing can help. Ultimately, where you choose to place your attention is one of the most important decisions you can make.
6. What does the “attention economy” refer to according to the passage?
A. The money people spend on online shopping.
B. The value of human focus in the age of information.
C. The economy of a country that produces digital products.
D. The time people spend on making economic decisions.
7. Why do social media companies design features like “infinite scroll”?
A. To make the website look more modern and attractive.
B. To help users find information more quickly and easily.
C. To keep users on their platform longer to earn more money from ads.
D. To reduce the feeling of urgency and pressure for the users.
8. The word “phubbing” in paragraph 3 most likely means the habit of ______.
A. using two phones at the same time
B. ignoring the people around you to look at your phone
C. having serious arguments with family members
D. checking work emails during family dinner time
9. Which of the following is an effective way to fight back against the attention economy according to the author?
A. Spending more time on video games to build focus.
B. Using two screens at the same time to multitask.
C. Turning off push notifications on your devices.
D. Clicking on every recommended video to stay informed.
10. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To teach readers how to design better social media apps.
B. To explain the economic theory of Herbert A. Simon in detail.
C. To warn readers about how their attention is being used and how to regain control.
D. To prove that technology has more negative effects than positive ones on families.
11. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage?
A. People should stop using smartphones completely.
B. Being aware of where you focus your attention is very important.
C. Making decisions is always difficult for teenagers.
D. The attention economy only affects adults.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
The alarm clock screamed. Leo’s hand shot out from under the blanket, silencing it. Today was the day of the school’s annual “Invention Convention,” and his stomach was a knot of anxiety. For weeks, he had been working on his project: a device to help people find lost keys. But yesterday, during the final test, a small but crucial part had ______(12)______. He hadn’t been able to fix it.
He dragged himself to the kitchen, where his grandfather was calmly folding the newspaper. “You look like you lost your best friend, not a tiny piece of metal,” his grandfather said.
“It’s the same thing, Grandpa,” Leo groaned. “My invention is ruined. Everyone else will have something that works perfectly. I’ll be a total ______(13)______.”
His grandfather chuckled. “Let me tell you a story. When I was a young man, I tried to build a boat. A beautiful wooden boat. On the day I was to launch it, I found a huge crack in the hull. I was devastated. I felt like a failure.” He paused. “But then, your grandmother came outside. She looked at the crack, then at my face, and started to laugh. ‘So it leaks,’ she said. ‘Fix it. Or better yet, fill the crack with something beautiful.’ And that’s what I did. I filled it with a bright blue resin. That boat wasn't perfect, but it was unique. We used it for twenty years. The ______(14)______ gave it character.”
Leo listened, the story slowly ______(15)______ into his anxious mind. He went to his room and looked at his broken device. Instead of seeing a failure, he saw an opportunity. He didn’t have time to find a new part, but he had some colorful modeling clay. He carefully filled the empty space where the part should have been with the clay, shaping it into a small, bright star.
At the convention, his device didn’t win first prize for technical perfection. But a judge from a tech company stopped at his table, fascinated by the bright star. “Tell me about this,” she said, pointing to the clay. Leo ______(16)______ the story his grandfather had told him. He spoke about problem-solving, about turning a disadvantage into a feature.
He didn’t win the first prize. But he learned that true invention isn’t about avoiding problems. It’s about what you do when something goes wrong. It’s the courage to ______(17)______, to adapt, and to find a creative solution. That lesson was worth more than any trophy. As he packed up his things, he saw his grandfather in the crowd, giving him a slow, proud nod.
12. A. broken B. appeared C. strengthened D. folded
13. A. shame B. pride C. practice D. decision
14. A. removal B. repetition C. imperfection D. laughter
15. A. pulling B. sinking C. lowering D. matching
16. A. removed B. cheated C. shared D. practiced
17. A. face B.incorrect C. frighten D. escape
D篇 (6小题,每小题2分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。
Imagine walking through a museum and seeing a famous painting… that is actually a living colony of bacteria. This is the unusual reality of the “Microbial Zoo,” an art-science project that has become a hit online. The project, created by artist-adventurer Tasha Stames and a team of biologists, doesn't use paint. Instead, it uses harmless, colorful microbes (微生物) like bacteria and yeast.
The idea was born during the pandemic lockdown in 2023 when Stames, feeling isolated, began growing “pandemic pets” – petri dishes of microbes. “I was fascinated by how a world invisible to us was thriving,” she said. She wondered if she could “paint” with them. After months of trial and error, she developed a technique. Using a sterilized metal loop as a brush, she transfers different microbes onto a special jelly-like food in a large petri dish. Over a few days, the microbes grow and reveal their natural colors—yellow, orange, red, and even neon green—creating a vibrant “painting.” Each “painting” is alive for about two to four weeks before the microbes consume all the food and the colors fade.
The Microbial Zoo was first shown at a small community college in Ohio. Nobody expected the reaction. A student posted a time-lapse video of a “painting” growing on TikTok, and it received over 10 million views overnight. Suddenly, Stames was invited to show her work at science museums in London, Tokyo, and Sydney.
However, the project is not without its critics. Some art purists argue that because the artwork is alive and temporary, it challenges the very definition of “art.” Biologists, on the other hand, praise it for making science accessible and beautiful. “It shows that life, in all its forms, is a creative force,” said one professor. Stames doesn't mind the debate. “If it gets people asking questions about where art ends and science begins, then I've done my job,” she says. Her ultimate goal is to launch a “Bio-Art” kit for classrooms, allowing students to create their own temporary masterpieces.

Dear Tom,
How's everything going? I'm excited to share my family's most special tradition with you.
Every Friday evening, my family has what we call “Gratitude Circle.” After dinner, we sit in the living room without any phones or TV. Each person takes a turn sharing one good thing from the week and one thing they want to improve.
This tradition started three years ago when my grandfather was ill. My mom wanted to keep us positive during that difficult time. Now, even though my grandfather is better, we've kept the tradition as a whole. Sometimes it feels awkward, especially when I have to admit a mistake. But there has also been laughter and even tears of happiness.
This tradition has taught me to appreciate small moments and to be honest about my feelings. It has strengthened our family bond indeed. What tradition do you have in your family?
Best wishes,
Li Hua
