Videos tagged “24-hour spas in China” have become viral on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, drawing content creators from different parts of the world. US travel vlogger Jonathan, who runs a channel called Travel Escapes, recently drew global attention to China’s spa culture after documenting his 24-hour stay at a luxury, yet very affordable, bathhouse in Chengdu, Sichuan province.“This is unbelievable,” he said, as he turned his lens (镜头) on the facility covering five floors. “For $41, you get everything. There’s a library, pool tables, massage rooms, sleeping areas…” At the center of a Chinese bathhouse experience lies the body scrub (搓澡). The rejuvenating practice, performed by trained attendants who use various degrees of pressure for maximum benefit, amazes visitors, particularly first-times. “It was a bit painful at first, but you walk out feeling like your skin, and maybe even your mind, has been reset,” one visitor wrote online. Spas and bathhouses in China often serve as wellness retreats, with therapies such as gua sha — a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that uses smooth-edged tools to boost circulation, help reduce swelling and release tension — and cupping adding another dimension to the experience. What visitors experience is not a novelty, but the reinvention of a centuries-old practice. The popularity of communal bathhouses dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty. The rising popularity of Chinese spas and bathhouses is indicative of a broader shift in how foreigners visiting China want to experience China. Most travelers seek immersive, everyday experiences, which social media users often refer to as “very Chinese moments”. “Things that feel ordinary to locals are becoming extraordinary for international visitors,” said Li Mengran, spokeswoman for UTour Group, a leading travel platform based in Beijing.“That's where a new wave of tourism growth is coming from.” 4. Why does the author mention Jonathan in the text? A. To recommend a five-floor bathhouse. B. To advertise Jonathan's travel channel. C. To illustrate the popularity of China's bathhouse. D. To prove Chinese short videos are popular online. 5. Which of the following best describes “body scrub” according to the text? A. Painful and intense. B. Ancient and global. C. Gentle and rejuvenating. D. Professional and rewarding. 6. What does the international visitors’ focus shift to? A. In-depth experiences. B. Cheaper luxury activities. C. Mind-resetting adventures. D. Multi-dimensional moments. 7. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To promote Chinese bathhouses worldwide. B. To show foreign vloggers’ daily life in China. C. To introduce the services of Chinese bathhouse. D. To present a new way foreigners experience China. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7.

Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 8. Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A. They feel they face a language crisis. B. They fear their luck won’t last long. C. They think sharing feelings is impolite. D. They worry it shows a lack of concern. 9. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Measurement. B. Barrier. C. Support. D. Pressure. 10. Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A. Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B. Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C. Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D. Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B. Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C. How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D. The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing.(因此，个人稳定的表达可能会被误解为冷漠或特权，使人们犹豫是否要分享他们的中性或积极的幸福感)”可知，人们担心说“我很好”会显示出缺乏关心。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中 “It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed.(它充当着一种情感bulwark，使人们能够在集体压力的浪潮中应对自如而不被压垮)”可知，bulwark在这里表示能抵御压力的“支撑，屏障，支持”，A. Measurement.测量；B. Barrier.屏障；C. Support.支持；D. Pressure.压力。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人)”可知，当你真正感觉良好时告诉朋友你很好，这样做最能说明“平静的安好”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength.

This breakthrough could reshape how people living with osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) understand and manage their condition. The research, presented at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, features a powerful AI model that generates realistic “future” X-rays and a personalized risk score for estimating disease progression. Together, these outputs give doctors and patients a visual roadmap of how osteoarthritis may evolve over time. Osteoarthritis, a chronic joint disorder affecting more than 500 million people globally, is the leading cause of disability among older adults. For millions, monitoring disease progression has long relied on periodic X-rays and subjective symptom assessments, which provide limited visibility into future worsening. This unmet medical need has created an urgent demand for tools that can accurately predict future joint damage. Given this pressing need, David Butler, the study’ lead author, explained: “Our system not only predicts the likelihood of your knee getting worse, it also shows you a realistic image of what the knee could look like in a year. Seeing the past and future X-rays side by side is a powerful motivator. It helps doctors act sooner and gives patients a clearer picture of why sticking to their treatment plan or lifestyle changes matters.” The new system uses an advanced diffusion model to create a “future” X-ray, identifying 16 key joint points to highlight potential changes. This enhances transparency by showing clinicians exactly which parts of the knee are being monitored, boosting confidence in its predictions. The Surrey team believes in the future their approach, when modified, could be applied to other chronic issues, potentially predicting lung damage in smokers or tracking heart disease progression, offering similar visual insights and early warning for osteoarthritis. 12. What is the new AI system capable of? A. Offering personalized treatment plans. B. Curing knee-related diseases. C. Diagnosing early-stage osteoarthritis. D. Visualizing future knee conditions. 13. What is the function of Paragraph 3? A. To explain the cause of osteoarthritis. B. To suggest treatments for joint diseases. C. To show the necessity of the invention. D. To present research data of the AI system. 14. What does Butler emphasize about the system? A. Deeper insight and quicker recovery. B. Higher accuracy and easier accessibility. C. Wider application and faster diagnosis. D. Greater transparency and earlier intervention. 15. What gives the system a promising future? A. Its convenience. B. Its adaptability. C. Its affordability. D. Its efficiency. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了英国萨里大学研究人员开发的一种新型人工智能系统，该系统能够生成患者一年后的膝盖X光预测图像并提供个性化疾病进展风险评分，为骨关节炎的早期干预和治疗管理提供了有力支持，且该技术未来有望应用于其他慢性疾病的预测。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new artificial intelligence system developed by researchers at the University of Surrey can forecast what a patient’s knee X-ray might look like in one year’s time.(萨里大学的研究人员开发出的一种新型人工智能系统能够预测患者膝盖X光片在一年后可能出现的样子)”可知，该系统能够可视化未来的膝盖状况。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This unmet medical need has created an urgent demand for tools that can accurately predict future joint damage.(这种未得到满足的医疗需求催生了对能够准确预测未来关节损伤的工具的迫切需求)”可知，第三段通过介绍骨关节炎的现状和现有监测方法的局限性，说明了这项发明的必要性。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It helps doctors act sooner and gives patients a clearer picture of why sticking to their treatment plan or lifestyle changes matters.(它帮助医生更早采取行动，让患者更清楚地了解为什么坚持治疗计划或改变生活方式很重要)”以及第五段“This enhances transparency by showing clinicians exactly which parts of the knee are being monitored, boosting confidence in its predictions.(这通过向临床医生准确展示膝盖的哪些部位正在被监测来提高透明度，增强了对其预测的信心)”可知，巴特勒强调了该系统的更高透明度和更早干预的优势。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Surrey team believes in the future their approach, when modified, could be applied to other chronic issues, potentially predicting lung damage in smokers or tracking heart disease progression, offering similar visual insights and early warning for osteoarthritis.(萨里大学的研究团队坚信，他们目前所采用的方法若加以改进，未来能够应用于其他慢性疾病领域，比如能够预测吸烟者的肺部损伤情况，或者追踪心脏病的发展进程，还能为骨关节炎提供类似的直观分析和早期预警)”可知，该系统的适应性使其具有广阔的应用前景。 E Among all human facial expressions, none is more universally recognized than the smile.

She had always been fascinated by the mountain’s impressive beauty. For as long as she could remember, Maya dreamed of standing at the summit. Every day, she would look up at the peak, imagining what it would be like to stand at the top and see the world from that height. One day, Maya decided that it was time to turn her dream into a reality. Filled with hope and excitement, she packed a small bag with essentials: a phone, a map, a compass, some food, and warm clothing. After saying a heartfelt goodbye to her family, she set off on her journey. The initial part of the climb was controlled, with a gentle slope (斜坡) and a less traveled path. However, as she climbed higher, the path became steeper and more challenging. rocks tumbled (翻滚) under her feet, and the cold wind bit at her cheeks, but Maya held on, determined to reach the summit. Halfway up the mountain, Maya encountered a group of seasoned climbers making their way down. “You’d better turn back,” one of them suggested. "The climb is becoming increasingly dangerous, and the weather is worsening. It’s not worth the risk.” For a moment, doubt clouded Maya’s mind. She felt tired, cold, and unsure if she could continue. But then, Maya remembered why she had started the climb in the first place. She remembered the countless hours spent imagining the view from the summit and the inner strength she had gained by pursuing her dreams. She wanted to prove to herself that she was capable of achieving her dreams, no matter how difficult the journey was. Taking a deep breath and filled with renewed determination, she thanked the climbers for their concern but decided to continue. 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。 When she climbed higher than before, the air grew thinner, and every step became a struggle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a heart full of pride, Maya knew that there was no challenge too great for her to overcome. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When she climbed higher than before, the air grew thinner, and every step became a struggle. Maya’s muscles ached, and her breath became rapid, but she refused to give up. She knew that each step forward, no matter how small, brought her closer to her goal. After several hours of hard work, Maya finally reached the summit. She stood at the peak, looking out over the vast landscape below. The view was more breathtaking than she had ever imagined, and tears of joy filled her eyes. At that moment, Maya realized that the journey up the mountain was not just about reaching the top; it was about discovering her own strength and willpower. With a heart full of pride, Maya knew that there was no challenge too great for her to overcome. She had climbed her mountain, and in doing so, she had discovered the power that lay within her all along. And from that day forward, Maya never doubted herself again. She faced each new challenge with the same determination and courage, knowing that she had the strength to climb any mountain, both in the world and within herself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述年轻女子玛雅一直梦想登上村旁高山之巅。她备好物资出发，山路渐陡且寒冷难行。中途遇下山的资深登山者劝她折返，因攀登愈发危险、天气恶化，玛雅一度动摇，但想起追梦的初心与决心，最终谢绝建议，继续向山顶迈进。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“当玛雅爬到比以往更高的地方时，空气变得愈发稀薄，每一步都举步维艰。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛雅克服高海拔困难登顶，见绝美景色落泪，悟登山意义在发现自身力量毅力。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛雅心中满是自豪，她知道再大的挑战自己也能克服。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛雅登顶后满怀自豪，发现内心力量，此后不再自我怀疑，以勇气决心面对各类挑战。 2.续写线索：克服困难登顶——见绝美景色——感悟——改变——积极面对挑战 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.拒绝：refuse/deny/turn down ②.到达：reach/get to ③.认识到：realize/recognize/understand 情绪类 ①.快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②.勇气：courage/bravery 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B A new trend — spending a whole day inside a bathhouse — is quietly reshaping how foreign visitors experience China. Videos tagged “24-hour spas in China” have become viral on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, drawing content creators from different parts of the world. US travel vlogger Jonathan, who runs a channel called Travel Escapes, recently drew global attention to China’s spa culture after documenting his 24-hour stay at a luxury, yet very affordable, bathhouse in Chengdu, Sichuan province.“This is unbelievable,” he said, as he turned his lens (镜头) on the facility covering five floors. “For $41, you get everything. There’s a library, pool tables, massage rooms, sleeping areas…” At the center of a Chinese bathhouse experience lies the body scrub (搓澡). The rejuvenating practice, performed by trained attendants who use various degrees of pressure for maximum benefit, amazes visitors, particularly first-times. “It was a bit painful at first, but you walk out feeling like your skin, and maybe even your mind, has been reset,” one visitor wrote online. Spas and bathhouses in China often serve as wellness retreats, with therapies such as gua sha — a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that uses smooth-edged tools to boost circulation, help reduce swelling and release tension — and cupping adding another dimension to the experience. What visitors experience is not a novelty, but the reinvention of a centuries-old practice. The popularity of communal bathhouses dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty. The rising popularity of Chinese spas and bathhouses is indicative of a broader shift in how foreigners visiting China want to experience China. Most travelers seek immersive, everyday experiences, which social media users often refer to as “very Chinese moments”. “Things that feel ordinary to locals are becoming extraordinary for international visitors,” said Li Mengran, spokeswoman for UTour Group, a leading travel platform based in Beijing.“That's where a new wave of tourism growth is coming from.” 4.

To introduce the services of Chinese bathhouse. D. To present a new way foreigners experience China. C We live in a world where conversations about mental health are becoming more common. Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 8. Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A. They feel they face a language crisis. B. They fear their luck won’t last long. C. They think sharing feelings is impolite. D. They worry it shows a lack of concern. 9. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Measurement. B. Barrier. C. Support. D. Pressure. 10. Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A. Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B. Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C. Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D. Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B. Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C. How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D. The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison D A new artificial intelligence system developed by researchers at the University of Surrey can forecast what a patient’s knee X-ray might look like in one year’s time. This breakthrough could reshape how people living with osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) understand and manage their condition. The research, presented at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, features a powerful AI model that generates realistic “future” X-rays and a personalized risk score for estimating disease progression. Together, these outputs give doctors and patients a visual roadmap of how osteoarthritis may evolve over time. Osteoarthritis, a chronic joint disorder affecting more than 500 million people globally, is the leading cause of disability among older adults. For millions, monitoring disease progression has long relied on periodic X-rays and subjective symptom assessments, which provide limited visibility into future worsening. This unmet medical need has created an urgent demand for tools that can accurately predict future joint damage. Given this pressing need, David Butler, the study’ lead author, explained: “Our system not only predicts the likelihood of your knee getting worse, it also shows you a realistic image of what the knee could look like in a year. Seeing the past and future X-rays side by side is a powerful motivator. It helps doctors act sooner and gives patients a clearer picture of why sticking to their treatment plan or lifestyle changes matters.” The new system uses an advanced diffusion model to create a “future” X-ray, identifying 16 key joint points to highlight potential changes. This enhances transparency by showing clinicians exactly which parts of the knee are being monitored, boosting confidence in its predictions. The Surrey team believes in the future their approach, when modified, could be applied to other chronic issues, potentially predicting lung damage in smokers or tracking heart disease progression, offering similar visual insights and early warning for osteoarthritis. 12. What is the new AI system capable of? A. Offering personalized treatment plans. B. Curing knee-related diseases. C. Diagnosing early-stage osteoarthritis. D. Visualizing future knee conditions. 13.

She had always been fascinated by the mountain’s impressive beauty. For as long as she could remember, Maya dreamed of standing at the summit. Every day, she would look up at the peak, imagining what it would be like to stand at the top and see the world from that height. One day, Maya decided that it was time to turn her dream into a reality. Filled with hope and excitement, she packed a small bag with essentials: a phone, a map, a compass, some food, and warm clothing. After saying a heartfelt goodbye to her family, she set off on her journey. The initial part of the climb was controlled, with a gentle slope (斜坡) and a less traveled path. However, as she climbed higher, the path became steeper and more challenging. rocks tumbled (翻滚) under her feet, and the cold wind bit at her cheeks, but Maya held on, determined to reach the summit. Halfway up the mountain, Maya encountered a group of seasoned climbers making their way down. “You’d better turn back,” one of them suggested. "The climb is becoming increasingly dangerous, and the weather is worsening. It’s not worth the risk.” For a moment, doubt clouded Maya’s mind. She felt tired, cold, and unsure if she could continue. But then, Maya remembered why she had started the climb in the first place. She remembered the countless hours spent imagining the view from the summit and the inner strength she had gained by pursuing her dreams. She wanted to prove to herself that she was capable of achieving her dreams, no matter how difficult the journey was. Taking a deep breath and filled with renewed determination, she thanked the climbers for their concern but decided to continue. 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。 When she climbed higher than before, the air grew thinner, and every step became a struggle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a heart full of pride, Maya knew that there was no challenge too great for her to overcome. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
