Even if a bushfire threatened the rural Australian community of Wytaliba, Gary Wilson and his wife Julie Willis decided not to leave their wooden house. The couple had a home which was full of orphaned (孤儿) baby kangaroos to protect.
More than 10 of the baby kangaroos stayed safe inside fabric pouches that hung in the couple’s living room. Each piece of cloth looked like the opening where mother kangaroos carry their young babies. As the wild fires grew nearer, full-grown kangaroos and other wildlife that had left their care long ago came back to the house in search of protection.
Even if the couple’s house is now surrounded by burned land and vehicles, they decided to defend their home for at least 14 hours with fire extinguishers (灭火器) and water pumps. To their relief, their house had a special device on its top that sprayed water on hot ashes falling on this house. What they had been well ready for helped the building stay safe as before. So did the motherless animals.
But what was really bad was that the fire hitting the small community killed two of Wilson’s neighbors. “It was a horrible thing,” Wilson said. “The whole bush has been burnt. Most animals, such as possums, gliders, lizards and even many birds, were not fast enough to escape.”
While Wilson and Willis usually care for baby kangaroos that are rescued after their mothers are struck by vehicles, they are now welcoming an increasing number of fire orphans. Wilson said, “We didn’t have children ourselves; this is what we spend our time doing. We think it is worthy — a worthy cause — looking after our babies no matter what they are.”
4. Why did the couple stay at their wooden house?
A. To defend their wooden house.
B. To protect those baby kangaroos.
C. To wait for more chances in the fire.
D. To collect more orphaned animals.
5. Why did the couple’s house stay safe?
A. They had good luck.
B. They had firefighters to help.
C. They had made good preparations.
D. They had a house with solid building materials.
6. What is implied in Wilson’s words in the last paragraph?
A. The couple expect to have their own time.
B. The couple think that their care is of little value.
C. The couple treat the orphaned animals as their children.
D. The couple have a preference for animals than their neighbors.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A couple provided a shelter for the orphaned animals.
B. A couple was unwilling to leave their beloved house.
C. It was dangerous to survive when a bushfire broke out.
D. A bushfire caused great damage to a rural community.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对夫妇在森林大火中不顾危险保护孤儿袋鼠等野生动物的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Even if a bushfire threatened the rural Australian community of Wytaliba, Gary Wilson and his wife Julie Willis decided not to leave their wooden house. The couple had a home which was full of orphaned (孤儿) baby kangaroos to protect. (即便一场森林大火威胁到了澳大利亚乡村地区维塔利巴,Gary Wilson和他的妻子Julie Willis还是决定不离开他们的木屋。夫妇俩的家中满是需要保护的孤幼袋鼠宝宝。)”可知,这对夫妇待在木屋是为了保护那些小袋鼠。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Even if the couple’s house is now surrounded by burned land and vehicles, they decided to defend their home for at least 14 hours with fire extinguishers (灭火器) and water pumps. To their relief, their house had a special device on its top that sprayed water on hot ashes falling on this house. What they had been well ready for helped the building stay safe as before. So did the motherless animals. (尽管如今夫妻俩的房子四周已被烧焦的土地和车辆环绕,但他们还是决定用灭火器和水泵坚守家园至少14个小时。令他们宽慰的是,他们的房子顶部装有一个特殊装置,能向落在房子上的热灰喷水。他们事先做好的充分准备让房子像以前一样安然无恙,那些失去母亲的动物们也安然无恙。)”可知,夫妇的房子能保持安全是因为他们事先做好了准备。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson said, “We didn’t have children ourselves; this is what we spend our time doing. We think it is worthy — a worthy cause — looking after our babies no matter what they are.” (Wilson说:“我们自己没有孩子,这就是我们花时间做的事情。我们认为这是值得的——是一项有价值的事业——无论我们的“宝宝”是什么,我们都会照顾好它们。”)”可知,这对夫妇把孤儿动物当作自己的孩子来对待。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Even if a bushfire threatened the rural Australian community of Wytaliba, Gary Wilson and his wife Julie Willis decided not to leave their wooden house.

C
If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well cat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.”
In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like some one did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand.
Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.
Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds.
If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value,” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch.
The researchers also showed how to mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”
8. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie?
A. They dislike a money-related offer. B. They distrust the true value of the offer.
C. They think the offer is not good enough. D. They suspect the offer only lasts a short time.
9. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4?
A. The moral concerns. B. The research method.
C. The experiments’ duration. D. The participants’ background.
10. Which psychological factor best explains the findings of the study?
A. Fearful of “phantom costs”. B. Afraid of violating social norms.
C. Committed to the standard economic model. D. Unconcerned about an offer’s “psychological value”
11. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment?
A. To stress the unpredictability of human choices.
B. To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices.
C. To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples.
D. To show giving justifications can increase acceptance of offers.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为什么人们会拒绝看似过于慷慨的优惠或免费赠品,探讨了经济学和心理学之间的联系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”(在《个性与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中,研究人员发现,人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”,以及异常便宜的服务,因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”)”可知,人们会拒绝2美元外加一块免费饼干的提议是因为他们不相信这份提议的真正价值。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.(另外九项实验使用在线问卷来呈现其他情况。其中包括给钱让他搭车回家,以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每一种情况下,超过一定的门槛,更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性)”可知,第4段介绍了九个进一步实验的研究方法。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value,” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch.(如果有人似乎违反了公认的规范,比如自利,而没有任何解释,我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机,并推断会有“幻影成本”,想象的后果会降低Vonasch所说的提议的“心理价值”,超出当前时刻的因素可能会起作用。Vonasch说:“理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们欠他们的债,这也有助于解释人们的不情愿。”)”可知,害怕“幻影成本”这一因素解释了这一现象。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers also showed how to mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal.(研究人员还展示了如何减轻这种影响:简单地提供一个交易的理由)”以及““Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”(“不舒服的座位通常不是卖点,”沃纳什说。“但告诉人们座位不舒服会让他们更愿意坐,因为这是一个充分的解释。”)”可知,作者提到“廉价航班”实验是为了表明给出理由可以增加提议的接受度。故选D。
D
Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.
What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.
This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.
Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth.
12. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”?
A. By listing typical cases. B. By making a comparison.
C. By presenting research findings. D. By analyzing expert opinions.
13. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome?
A. Students absorbed in social media. B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies.
C. People struggling with physical disabilities. D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome?
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Dismissive.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others?
C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character?
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“主角综合征”的具体表现、成因、利弊以及应对方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority.(John总是把职场上的小矛盾升级为激烈的冲突,他形容这些争执就像恐怖电影中的剧情转折一样。Emily在社交媒体上精心挑选每一张照片,将她的生活呈现为一系列理想化的时刻。再比如Mark,他常常期待在群体场合中得到特殊对待,一旦没有被优先考虑,就会明显表现出失望的情绪)”可知,作者通过列举John、Emily、Mark三个典型人物的具体行为来说明“主角综合征”的含义,属于举例说明。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“What causes this syndrome? (这种综合征是由什么引起的?)”和“Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.(此外,诸如自恋倾向或情感困扰(如不安全感和低自尊)以及以自我为中心的家庭教育方式,也可能增加个体形成此类思维模式的可能性)”可知,在家庭中被过度关注、被优先对待的孩子更容易形成主角综合征。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.(然而,其潜在的缺点往往远大于这些好处:它导致了过多的自我中心,削弱了人际间的同理心,并通过将他人简化为“支持角色”而非平等互动的伙伴,破坏了真正的人际关系)”可知,作者虽然承认该心态有一定积极面,但整体上更强调其负面影响,态度偏批判性。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕“主角综合征”展开,既介绍了其表现和成因,也分析了利弊并给出建议。A项“Star of Your Own Story?(你自己故事的主角?)”用疑问形式既点明了核心话题,又暗含作者对这种心态的反思,适合作标题。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One Second Every Day
I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. ____16____ One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. ____17____ I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.
The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. ____18____ There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”
____19____ On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.
I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. ____20____
The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.
A. It instantly inspired me.
B. The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.
C. I’m always energetic when doing things I love.
D. People might have different interpretations of it.
E. It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.
F. But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.
G. The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者从事广告行业8年了,加班熬夜做了无数项目,但他一直没有时间做自己真正想做的个人项目。有一天他受到一个演讲的启发,开始自己的项目“每天一秒钟”来记录每一天的生活。
【16题详解】
根据上文的“I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects.(我在广告业干了8年,曾经为了很多项目工作到深夜和周末)”和下文的“I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.(我需要时间来开始我自己的创意)”可知,作者在工作中加班熬夜做了无数项目,看到一个演讲后决定开始做属于自己的项目,故空处内容应与没有做过个人想做的项目有关。F项“But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.(但我从来没有时间做一个我想自己做的项目)”与上文构成转折,选项中的one表示“one project”,因此F选项承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects.(有一天,我看了一个名为“休息时间的力量”的演讲。这是关于每七年,演讲者如何从工作中请假一年,这样他就可以做自己的创意项目)”提到作者看到一个演讲,介绍了演讲者每过七年,就拿出一年时间来做自己的富有创造力的项目,下文“I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.(我决定我必须这么做。我需要时间来开始我自己的创意)”讲到作者决定也要这么做,开始自己的富有创造力的想法,说明这个演讲启发了作者,A项“It instantly inspired me.(它立刻启发了我)”中的It指代前面的那个演讲,说明了那个演讲启发了作者,因此承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore.(基本上,在我的余生中,我每天都会录下一秒钟,把这些时刻组合成一个连续的视频,直到我再也录不下来。)”提到作者每天录一秒钟的视频,将这些一秒钟的视频拼接成一段连续的视频,直到他没有能力再录制为止,下文“There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up(有很多事我都不记得了,除非有人提起)”讲到有很多作者之前做过的事情,他都想不起来了,故空处内容应仍与作者录制视频有关,且涉及记住过去的事。B项“The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.(目的是帮助我记住做过的事)”说明了这个项目帮助作者记住做过的事情,因此承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
【19题详解】
下文“On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.(在美好的一天,我大概有四秒钟的时间可以选择。我只需要把它们缩小到一个,但即使缩小到一个也能让我记住其他三个)”讲到在美好的一天里,作者想要多录制三秒钟,他只是把它们压缩到一秒钟,但是即使压缩到了只有一秒钟,也足以让他记住其他三秒钟,说明作者有时只能选择一秒钟,E项“It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.(有时候只能选择一秒钟很难)”是对下文内容的总结,说明只能选择一秒很难,因此引起下文,符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
空前说“I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go.(我没有使用任何滤镜,只是尽可能地捕捉那一刻。我开始了第一人称视角的规则。早些时候,我想我应该有几个视频,让人们看到我,但我意识到这不是我要走的路)”,说明这不是作者想要的,因此空格处应该说作者真正想要的是什么,G项“The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.(我的项目的本质应该是记录我实际看到的东西)”说明了作者的项目的本质,因此承接上文,符合语境。故选G。

第 Ⅱ 卷
第二节(共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Are you guilty of overusing the monkey covering its eyes emoji? Do you find ____36____ impossible to send a text without adding a laughing-crying face? Actually, emojis ____37____ (become) your own form of language during the past few years.
But beyond adding subtext, your go-to emojis might reveal more about you ____38____ you realize. According to a new study published in Current Psychology by researchers at Oklahoma State University, your emoji habits could offer ____39____ (surprise) insight into your underlying personality characteristics.
The study surveyed 285 undergraduates about their use of 40 different emojis and those participants completed questionnaires ____40____ (design) to assess their personality characteristics.
The results showed among men, frequent emoji use ____41____ (associate) with Machiavellian (权谋的) features and that heavy emoji use among female participants was linked to narcissistic (自恋的) ____42____ (tendency). The researchers considered this connection could be due to emojis ____43____ (use) for self-promotion and image management.
So the next time you’re about to send ____44____ string of fire emojis, just be sure you’re not ____45____ (accidental) revealing yourself as a Machiavellian narcissist in the process.
【答案】36. it 37. have become
38. than 39. surprising
40. designed
41. was associated
42. tendencies
43. being used
44. a 45. accidentally
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一项研究,该研究表明人们常用的表情符号使用习惯可能会揭示出其潜在的个性特征。
【36题详解】
考查it作形式宾语。句意:你是否觉得不添加哭笑表情就无法发送短信?此处为“find + it +形容词+ to do sth.”结构,it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的“to send a text without adding a laughing-crying face”。故填it。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:实际上,在过去几年里,表情符号已经成为你自己的一种语言形式。根据时间状语“during the past few years”可知,此处强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响,应用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”,主语emojis是复数,所以用have become。故填have become。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:但是,除了增加潜台词之外,你常用的表情符号可能比你意识到的更能揭示你的个性。根据前面的“more about you”可知,此处表示比较,应用than。故填than。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:根据俄克拉荷马州立大学研究人员发表在《当代心理学》上的一项新研究,你的表情符号使用习惯可能会让你对自己潜在的个性特征有惊人的洞察。此处修饰名词insight,应用形容词surprising,意为“令人惊讶的”。故填surprising。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这项研究调查了285名本科生对40种不同表情符号的使用情况,这些参与者完成了旨在评估他们个性特征的问卷调查。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,questionnaires与design之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词designed。故填designed。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:结果显示,在男性中,频繁使用表情符号与权谋特征有关,而女性参与者频繁使用表情符号与自恋倾向有关。根据showed可知,此处描述过去的事情,应用一般过去时,且frequent emoji use与associate之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态was associated。故填was associated。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:结果显示,在男性中,频繁使用表情符号与权谋特征有关,而女性参与者频繁使用表情符号与自恋倾向有关。tendency意为“倾向”,是可数名词,此处表示复数概念,应用复数形式tendencies作宾语。故填tendencies。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员认为这种联系可能是由于表情符号被用于自我推销和形象管理。due to中的to是介词,后接动名词,且emojis与use之间是被动关系,所以用动名词的被动形式being used,此处是动名词的复合结构。故填being used。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:所以下次你要发送一连串的火焰表情符号时,要确保在这个过程中你不是不小心暴露自己是一个权谋自恋的人。a string of为固定短语,意为“一连串的”。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:所以下次你要发送一连串的火焰表情符号时,要确保在这个过程中你不是不小心暴露自己是一个权谋自恋的人。此处修饰动词revealing,应用副词accidentally。故填accidentally。

【答案】Dear David,
I’m your student, Li Hua. Through my personal experience, I’ve found that interaction can create a democratic and harmonious classroom atmosphere. Interaction changes the roles of both teachers and students. So I enjoy your communicating with us in English class.
Apart from the interactive ways you often use, I think you can add English debating competitions to our class, which can help those who are too shy to speak English in public have an opportunity to express their ideas. You’re surely the judge of the competitions and we can listen to your conclusion. As you know, we all like your writing class. If you can give the beginning of a story to let us write its ending, we’ll improve our imagination and have more interest in English writing.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Thanks for reading.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs. Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs. Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里的).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have? Mrs. Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs. Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.

My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Several minutes passed, but no help came. Despite my mounting fear, I gathered my composure and pressed the bell again, praying someone would come to our rescue. Unfortunately, after my several attempts there came nothing but dead silence. Just then, it was getting hot and stuffy. Mrs. Lim was seized by a wave of panic attack, stumbling and mumbling. I gave her a gentle pat on the back and signaled her to lean against the corner. Bearing a last glimmer of hope, I started banging on the door and screamed my lungs out.
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. The knights in shining armor came to our rescue! The second they cracked open the door, I felt a massive weight off my shoulder. One of them bravely slid down to lend us a hand, while the rest were ready to pull us out with ropes. It didn’t take long before we were rescued out of the lift. Mrs. Lim, tears all over her face, kept thanking me and the firefighters. Truth be told, I had never felt so alive! It dawned on me that I should never take my blessed uneventful life for granted, and I must cherish what I have with a grateful heart.

Even if a bushfire threatened the rural Australian community of Wytaliba, Gary Wilson and his wife Julie Willis decided not to leave their wooden house. The couple had a home which was full of orphaned (孤儿) baby kangaroos to protect.
More than 10 of the baby kangaroos stayed safe inside fabric pouches that hung in the couple’s living room. Each piece of cloth looked like the opening where mother kangaroos carry their young babies. As the wild fires grew nearer, full-grown kangaroos and other wildlife that had left their care long ago came back to the house in search of protection.
Even if the couple’s house is now surrounded by burned land and vehicles, they decided to defend their home for at least 14 hours with fire extinguishers (灭火器) and water pumps. To their relief, their house had a special device on its top that sprayed water on hot ashes falling on this house. What they had been well ready for helped the building stay safe as before. So did the motherless animals.
But what was really bad was that the fire hitting the small community killed two of Wilson’s neighbors. “It was a horrible thing,” Wilson said. “The whole bush has been burnt. Most animals, such as possums, gliders, lizards and even many birds, were not fast enough to escape.”
While Wilson and Willis usually care for baby kangaroos that are rescued after their mothers are struck by vehicles, they are now welcoming an increasing number of fire orphans. Wilson said, “We didn’t have children ourselves; this is what we spend our time doing. We think it is worthy — a worthy cause — looking after our babies no matter what they are.”
4. Why did the couple stay at their wooden house?
A. To defend their wooden house.
B. To protect those baby kangaroos.
C. To wait for more chances in the fire.
D. To collect more orphaned animals.
5. Why did the couple’s house stay safe?
A. They had good luck.
B. They had firefighters to help.
C. They had made good preparations.
D. They had a house with solid building materials.
6. What is implied in Wilson’s words in the last paragraph?
A. The couple expect to have their own time.
B. The couple think that their care is of little value.
C. The couple treat the orphaned animals as their children.
D. The couple have a preference for animals than their neighbors.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A couple provided a shelter for the orphaned animals.
B. A couple was unwilling to leave their beloved house.
C. It was dangerous to survive when a bushfire broke out.

If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well cat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.”
In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like some one did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand.
Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.
Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds.
If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value,” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch.
The researchers also showed how to mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”
8. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie?
A. They dislike a money-related offer. B. They distrust the true value of the offer.
C. They think the offer is not good enough. D. They suspect the offer only lasts a short time.
9. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4?
A. The moral concerns. B. The research method.
C. The experiments’ duration. D. The participants’ background.
10. Which psychological factor best explains the findings of the study?
A. Fearful of “phantom costs”. B. Afraid of violating social norms.
C. Committed to the standard economic model. D. Unconcerned about an offer’s “psychological value”
11. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment?
A. To stress the unpredictability of human choices.
B. To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices.
C. To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples.
D. To show giving justifications can increase acceptance of offers.
D
Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.
What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.
This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.
Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth.
12. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”?
A. By listing typical cases. B. By making a comparison.
C. By presenting research findings. D. By analyzing expert opinions.
13. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome?
A. Students absorbed in social media. B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies.
C. People struggling with physical disabilities. D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome?
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Dismissive.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others?
C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character?

One Second Every Day
I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. ____16____ One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. ____17____ I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.
The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. ____18____ There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”
____19____ On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.
I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. ____20____
The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.

B. The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.
C. I’m always energetic when doing things I love.
D. People might have different interpretations of it.
E. It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.
F. But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
47. When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs. Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs. Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里的).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have? Mrs. Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs. Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
