There is a famous English expression: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" It perfectly describes the feeling of being overwhelmed by stress — when you just want to pause everything you are doing. Stress is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much pressure can lead to physical, emotional and mental issues.
Stress has plenty of physical effects. It can make your heart beat faster or skip beats, and may even cause high blood pressure. It can also make you breathe too fast, and often leads to stomachaches and digestive problems. These are just a few examples of how stress affects the body.
Emotions are also easily influenced by stress. People with too much pressure often feel worried, tired, angry or nervous. When under stress, people tend to overreact to small problems. For example, a normally gentle parent who is overloaded with work may shout at their child for dropping a glass of water.
Long-term stress can lead to serious mental illnesses. Depression — a persistent feeling of sadness and hopelessness — is often the result of continuous high stress. Chronic insomnia is also linked to stress, and lack of sleep makes mental health even worse.
Clearly, stress is a serious issue that affects both our health and mood. Cutting down stress, taking a break, and resting properly are necessary for a healthy life.
( )11. How might people feel when they say "Stop the world, I want to get off!"?
A. Excited. B. Proud. C. Surprised. D. Upset.
( )12. Which of the following are physical effects caused by stress?
①Slow breath ②Fast heartbeat ③Stomachache ④High blood pressure
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④
( )13. What might a normally kind person do when under too much stress, according to Paragraph 3?
A. Stay as kind as before and control their emotions well.
B. Drink too much coffee to reduce work pressure.
C. Get mad at family members for small mistakes.
D. Feel angry because their child often tells lies.
( )14. 新考法·写作目的 Why is depression mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To give an example of the result of long-term stress.
B. To explain the specific symptoms of depression.
C. To compare depression with other mental illnesses.
D. To show the writer's opinion on emotional health.
( )15. 新考法·文章结构 Which best shows the structure of the passage?

A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤

Do you ever feel overloaded with work, pressured by high expectations, or just want to scream? Don't worry! HALT — an acronym from the words Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired — is a handy tool to help you manage your emotions.
● Hungry? Eat! Hunger can seriously affect your mood. When you are hungry, your blood sugar drops below normal levels, making you absent-minded and easy to lose your temper. The hungrier you get, the worse your mood becomes. To balance your blood sugar and improve your mood, carry some fruit or nuts in your bag for quick energy.
● Angry? Pause! When you are mad at someone or something, stop focusing on the problem immediately. Taking deep breaths and writing down your feelings in a notebook are great ways to cool down. These small actions help you avoid saying or doing things you may regret later.
● Lonely? Connect! Loneliness can make you sad or anxious. Reach out to a friend or family member for a chat, or join a sports team or art club to meet new people. Knowing you are not alone can help you weather the storm during tough times.
● Tired? Rest! When you are exhausted, your brain cannot function well. Change your work pace: try taking a 5-minute break after 25 minutes of studying. You can stretch, listen to a song, or simply close your eyes. Most importantly, go to bed early to refresh your brain.
To manage these feelings, you can prepare a HALT first aid kit. As the saying goes, "▲" Your kit can include snacks, a stress ball, a playlist of happy songs, and a cozy sweater. Taking care of your body helps keep your mind strong. Let's make good use of HALT!
( )16. Which best shows the relationship between blood sugar and mood described in Paragraph 2?
A. ↘(下降) B. ↗(上升) C. →(平稳) D. ↗↘(波动)
( )17. According to Paragraph 3, what can you do when you feel angry?
A. Do breathing exercises to calm down.
B. Keep focusing on the problem to solve it.
C. Eat healthy snacks to raise blood sugar.
D. Go to bed early to refresh your brain.
( )18. The underlined phrase "weather the storm" in Paragraph 4 means "______".
A. meet with B. miss out C. suffer from D. get over
( )19. 新考法·句子还原 Which sentence can be put in the "▲" in the last paragraph?
A. Better late than never.
B. It's easy to be wise after the event.
C. Repair the roof when the sun is shining.
D. Cross the bridge when you come to it.
( )20. 新考法·文章出处 Where can you most probably read this passage?

(2025陕师大附中期末改编)
Qomolangma, towering at 8848.86 metres above sea level, sits in the Himalayas on the border of China and Nepal. It draws thousands of climbers from across the globe every year.
Climbing Qomolangma is never easy. Climbers have to deal with freezing winds, thin air, sudden snowstorms, and altitude sickness. To prepare for the climb, most spend months training and acclimatizing to high altitudes. The first confirmed summit was achieved in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
The Sherpas, native people of the Himalayan region, are indispensable to most climbing teams. Known for their unmatched high-altitude endurance and deep knowledge of the local terrain, they serve as guides, carry heavy equipment, and set up ropes for climbers. Their expertise greatly increases the success rate of climbs.
▲ Standing on the summit offers breathtaking views: snow-capped peaks stretch to the horizon, glowing golden under the sunlight. Many climbers describe reaching the top as a life-defining moment.
However, the mountain faces growing environmental problems. Tons of rubbish, including abandoned oxygen tanks, tents, and plastic waste, litter the slopes. Removing this waste is extremely difficult due to the harsh terrain and high costs. Worse still, black carbon from cooking fuels settles on the glaciers, speeding up melting.
Qomolangma is more than a mountain — it represents human courage and the drive to challenge limits. Protecting it for future generations has become a shared responsibility of all who admire it.
( )11. What challenges may the climbers face when climbing Qomolangma?
①Freezing weather ②Thin air ③Sudden storms ④Few guides ⑤Environmental problems

D. They teach climbers how to use high-altitude equipment safely.

A. The Height of Qomolangma B. The Beauty of Qomolangma
C. The Environment of Qomolangma D. The History of Qomolangma Climbing
( )14. How does the writer describe the garbage cleanup work on Qomolangma?

Located in northwest China's Gansu Province, the Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park is famous for its rainbow-colored rock formations. Known as the "Rainbow Mountains", it is one of China's most stunning natural wonders and a UNESCO Global Geopark.
The vibrant colors come from layers of different minerals deposited over 24 million years. Iron oxide creates red and rust hues, while other minerals add yellow, green, and blue tones. Wind and rain have eroded the soft rock into rolling hills and steep cliffs, revealing the colorful layers beneath. The colors look brightest after rain, when the rocks are damp and dust is washed away.
For years, the Rainbow Mountain was covered by snow. When the snow turned into water because of warmer weather, the colours became perceptible. Now, many travellers visit it every year. But too many people walking here can harm the mountain. To protect it, local villagers control the number of visitors and ask everyone to follow simple rules, like taking rubbish home.
The Rainbow Mountains remind us that natural wonders are precious and vulnerable. Small actions, like following park rules and supporting local conservation efforts, can help preserve this colorful treasure for future generations. Even sharing information about the site responsibly can raise awareness about protecting geological heritage.

A. It has three bright colorful lines on the rocks.
B. It is the longest mountain chain in the world.
C. It becomes lower in height every year due to erosion.
D. It is part of a UNESCO Global Geopark and over 24 million years old.

A. The reasons for the Rainbow Mountains' unique colors.
B. The changes of the mountains' colors in different weather.
C. The importance of protecting the Rainbow Mountains.
D. The study of rock formations on the Rainbow Mountains.
