【详解】Hello, everyone — this is your headmaster, Mr. Thomson, speaking. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the snowstorm has worsened since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how severe this storm would be. We were told there would be 5cm of snow, but we now have doubled that amount — and it’s expected to reach over 20cm by 3 p. m. So, what does this mean? This means we have ended the classes now, at 11 a.m. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you may drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them your plans. It’s quite dangerous out there right now. And by this evening, we are likely to have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, stay tuned for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will share more details about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone — and please, stay safe.

Walk through Adelphi’s campus and you’ll see many species of trees and decorative blooms. Now there’s another garden- the Community Garden- between Linen and Eddy halls. But instead of flowers, this garden grows peppers, lettuce and other vegetables that students are harvesting and donating to the Panther Pantry (食品援助中心) of the community, so their community members can get nutritious produce.
The Community Garden came about thanks to Kelly Andreuzzi, who has a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and a master’s degree in environmental studies. As former president of the Environmental Action Coalition (EAC) and an environmental activist, he led the garden initiative in 2022, with the support of the Center for Student and Community Engagement (SCE). “Community is especially important to me — I have immense passion for empowering my own community and dedicating time to providing services that truly make a difference.”
Erica Gibson, volunteer coordinator of the Panther Pantry, said the food donated is appreciated by the pantry and its patrons (受助者). “We want to supply the people who visit the pantry with fresh ingredients whenever we can to help them add a bit extra to the amazing variety of items we have already provided them,” she said. For example, she cited that the garden’s tomatoes could be used to make fresh tomato sauce to pair with the pantry’s various pastas.
The garden is a great place to learn and be a part of a community. Volunteers gain valuable skills and learn more about themselves. “Working on the Community Garden helped me gain the knowledge and experience to start my own garden at home to provide my family with a sustainable source of produce,” said Kelly. Being able to volunteer here provides students with new perspectives on agriculture and the importance of community. “Agriculture is hard, calculated work- it’s extremely time sensitive and requires an immense amount of consistent care.”
24. What do we know about the Community Garden?
A. It was initiated by Adelphi.
B. It mainly grows decorative flowers.
C. It contributes vegetables to the community.
D. Its produce is harvested by the Panther Pantry.
25. Which of the following can best describe Kelly?
A. Competitive and dedicated.
B. Humorous and passionate.
C. Caring and committed.
D. Patient and knowledgeable.
26. What can be inferred from Erica Gibson’s words?
A. The pantry aims to enrich the food options.
B. Most patrons prefer homemade tomato sauce.
C. Most patrons are amazed at the various items.
D. The pantry only offers tomatoes from the garden.
27. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The knowledge needed in voluntary work.
B. The importance of providing community service.
C. The hard and demanding work involved in agriculture.
D. The benefits of volunteering for the Community Garden.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. D

C
The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can boost your well-being, a new research study has found, and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery.
Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress, but the research was limited and inconsistent. This study examined decades of scattered research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. The review of 38 previously published studies covering a total of 6,805 participants was conducted by team of psychologists from University of Vienna, Trinity College Dublin, and Humboldt University of Berlin. It has been published this week in The Journal of Positive Psychology.
“People often think of art as a luxury, but our research suggests that viewing art, whether as a hobby or as a targeted health intervention, can meaningfully support well-being,” said MacKenzie Trupp, lead author and researcher at the University of Vienna and Radboud UMC, Donders Institute. “By reframing art as a low-cost, accessible well-being resource, this research opens up exciting possibilities for integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies.”
Claire Howlin, Assistant Professor, School of Psychology, Trinity, added, “While the mental health benefits of creating art have been widely explored, the impact of viewing art has been under-researched and undervalued. Yet visual art is present and accessible in everyday spaces — museums, galleries, hospitals, and at home. Understanding its effects can unlock new avenues for promoting well-being through everyday encounters with art.”
“Since 2019 the WHO has recommended that creative approaches are used alongside routine clinical care. Art can satisfy people’s need to search for meaning in life, build self-esteem, and develop positive identities which are important factors for coping with the chaos of life. Departments of health and arts councils across Europe are looking for high quality evidence to identify which types of arts can be used for each type of medical outcome. This review will help to plan larger scale studies in the future.”
28. What’s the main function of paragraph 2?
A. To provide references for the research.
B. To introduce the guidelines of the research.
C. To stress the professionalism of the new research.
D. To highlight the consistency of the previous research.
29. What does the underlined word “reframing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Designing. B. Redefining. C. Recognizing. D. Selecting.
30. How does Claire Howlin consider the impact of viewing art?
A. It calls for more attention.
B. It is a privilege of the rich.
C. Its effects on well-being are difficult to measure.
D. It can’t be integrated into public health strategies.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Art Facilitates Personal Growth B. Art Viewing Improves Well-being
C. Famous Artworks Boost Mood Most D. Art Creating Benefits Mental Health
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项新研究发现观赏视觉艺术可提升幸福感,同时阐述该研究的意义、相关观点及应用价值。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress, but the research was limited and inconsistent. This study examined decades of scattered research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. The review of 38 previously published studies covering a total of 6,805 participants was conducted by team of psychologists from University of Vienna, Trinity College Dublin, and Humboldt University of Berlin. It has been published this week in The Journal of Positive Psychology. (此前的研究表明,观赏艺术可能会影响情绪或压力,但这些研究存在局限性且结果不一致。这项研究梳理了数十年零散的研究成果,首次清晰全面地概述了人们在何时、何地以及为何会通过观赏艺术来提升幸福感。这项综述研究由维也纳大学、都柏林圣三一学院和柏林洪堡大学的心理学家团队开展,分析了此前发表的38项研究,涉及总计6805名参与者。该研究已于本周发表在《积极心理学杂志》上。)”可知,第二段介绍了新研究的研究基础、参与团队和发表期刊,目的是强调这项新研究的专业性。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“People often think of art as a luxury, but our research suggests that viewing art, whether as a hobby or as a targeted health intervention, can meaningfully support well-being (人们通常将艺术视为奢侈品,但我们的研究表明,观赏艺术无论是作为一种爱好还是一种针对性的健康干预手段,都能切实有效地提升幸福感)”以及“By reframing art as a low-cost, accessible well-being resource, this research opens up exciting possibilities for integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies. (通过将艺术reframing为一种低成本、易获取的幸福感资源,这项研究为将艺术融入日常环境和公共卫生策略开辟了令人振奋的新可能。)”可知,此处是将艺术的定位从“奢侈品”转变为“低成本的幸福感资源”,“reframing”的含义是重新定义,与“redefining”意思相近。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Claire Howlin, Assistant Professor, School of Psychology, Trinity, added, “While the mental health benefits of creating art have been widely explored, the impact of viewing art has been under-researched and undervalued. Yet visual art is present and accessible in everyday spaces — museums, galleries, hospitals, and at home. Understanding its effects can unlock new avenues for promoting well-being through everyday encounters with art.” (都柏林圣三一学院心理学系助理教授克莱尔·豪林补充道:“尽管创作艺术对心理健康的益处已得到广泛研究,但观赏艺术所产生的影响却研究不足且被低估。然而视觉艺术在日常空间中随处可见且易于接触——博物馆、美术馆、医院以及家中都有。了解其影响有助于开辟新的途径,让人们在日常与艺术的接触中提升幸福感。”)”可知,克莱尔·豪林认为观赏艺术的影响应该得到更多的关注。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中的“The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can boost your well-being, a new research study has found, and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery. (一项新的研究发现,仅仅是观赏一件视觉艺术品这一简单行为,就能提升你的幸福感,而且这种益处无论是在医院环境还是美术馆里都能获得)”,以及后文对该研究的详细介绍、专家观点和应用价值的阐述可知,全文的核心主题是观赏艺术能够提升幸福感,因此“Art Viewing Improves Well-being (观赏艺术提升幸福感)”是最贴切的标题。故选B项。
D
Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. Whereas they first served people by supporting hunters, it did not take long before they became part of the home. Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. Research led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published recently in iScience, explains what might be going on. It reveals that the microbes (微生物)found in the guts (肠道)of dog owners are apparently different from those who do not own dogs and that this is, at least partially, responsible for the behavioral differences.
The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物)that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects. He and his colleagues therefore psychologically analysed 96 teens who were dog owners and 247 teens who were not. As expected, dog owners suffered from fewer social problems.
The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. After six weeks, mice carrying microbes from dog-owning teens spent longer approaching unfamiliar mice and showed greater concern for troubled cage-mates.
Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.
32. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Overcome. B. Replace. C. Balance. D. Reduce.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The differences between teenage dog owners and non-owners.
B. The design and participant selection of the experiment.
C. The biological basis and motivation for the research.
D. The role of gut microbes in shaping brain activity.
34. Why did the researchers conduct experiments on mice?
A. Dog owners show fewer social problems.
B. Teenagers were more difficult to study directly.
C. Human experiments may raise ethical concerns.
D. Mice can behave more actively in group interaction.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mouse-human comparisons may have limits in brain research.
B. Spending time with dogs may contribute to mental well-being.
C. Developing a healthy mind depends on careful self-reflection.
D. Psychological health requires changes in biological systems.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发现养狗能改善人类心理健康,且这一益处可能与狗向人类传递肠道微生物有关,并详细阐述了相关研究过程与结论。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality.(伴侣犬可能无法帮助获取食物,但多年来,越来越多的证据表明它们有助于diminish焦虑并提高社交能力)”可知,句中but体现转折关系,前文说伴侣犬不能获取食物,后文应说明其积极作用,diminish anxiety与improve sociality并列,均为积极影响,结合选项可推测diminish意为“减少”,与Reduce意思相近。故选D项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物) that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects.(大脑并不是独立存在的。在其他地方发现的微生物,尤其是在肠道内的微生物,会产生影响大脑运作的化合物。考虑到这一点,菊水武文博士想知道,从狗身上转移的微生物是否有助于给主人带来心理益处。为了找到答案,他在东京对343名参与者进行了一项实验,特别关注青少年,因为青春期是大脑发育的关键时期,此时的社交互动往往会对心理产生持久影响)”可知,该段首先介绍了研究的生物学基础(肠道微生物影响大脑运作),接着说明研究的动机(探究狗的微生物转移是否带来心理益处),还提及了实验的设置,核心是阐述研究的生物学基础和动机。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice.(下一步本应是将与狗相关的微生物直接引入不养狗的青少年体内。由于这处于伦理灰色地带,菊水博士转而用老鼠进行实验)”可知,直接对人类青少年进行实验可能会引发伦理方面的担忧,所以研究人员选择用老鼠做实验。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.(菊水博士承认,直接比较老鼠和人类并不完美,但他的研究结果仍然表明,养狗带来的微生物变化会影响大脑。如果这些结论成立,那么通往更健康心智的道路似乎可能不是始于仔细的自我反思,而是始于狗的陪伴)”可推断,与狗相处可能有助于心理健康。故选B项。
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday. ____36____ I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.
Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle. ____37____ It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it.
Why does this happen? At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____38____ Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours. We project our identity onto the object, making it painful to move on.
Fortunately, there is an effective counteraction: shifting your perspective from an “owner” to a “buyer”. When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?” ____39____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.
____40____ Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well. Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters.
A. It just feels right to keep them.
B. More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.
C. Thus, a price gap exists between buyers and sellers.
D. The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.
E. We often mistakenly believe these items define who we are.
F. That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.
G. The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.
【答案】36. A 37. G 38. F 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是“禀赋效应”的表现,产生的原因和应对的方法。
【36题详解】
前文“A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday.(几天前,我试着清理一些旧课本。内心深处,我知道自己再也不会读它们了。然而,我还是觉得也许它们某天会有用)”提到作者想清理旧校书,知道不会再读但又觉得也许某天会有用,后文“I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.(我可能并非只有自己有这种纠结:这种挣扎是一种被称为“禀赋效应”的现象)”说明这种矛盾心理是普遍存在的。A选项“It just feels right to keep them.(留着它们感觉就是对的)”很好地体现了这种矛盾心理,即虽然知道可能不会再读,但留着又觉得合理,符合语境,故选A。
【37题详解】
前文“Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle.(证明这种效应存在的心理学家发现,人们对自己拥有的一瓶酒的售价比他们愿意为购买同一瓶酒所出的价格要高得多)”举例说明人们对自己拥有的物品要价高,对购买相同物品出价低。G选项“The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.(这种不一致表明,我们仅仅因为拥有某物就对其估值过高)”是对前文现象的总结,符合语境,故选G。
【38题详解】
前文“At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it.(起初,研究人员认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例,即失去某物的痛苦感觉是获得同等事物所带来的愉悦感的两倍)”说研究人员最初认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例,后文“Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours.(心理学家得出结论:我们仅仅因为某样东西属于自己就会更看重它)”说心理学家得出结论是因为物品是自己的所以更看重它。F选项“That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.(这听起来合理,但真正的原因是所有权本身)”起到了转折作用,引出了真正的原因,符合上下文逻辑,故选F。
【39题详解】
前文“When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?”(当你犹豫是否要扔掉某样东西时,问问自己:“我现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买下这个东西?”)”说当犹豫是否扔掉东西时,问自己现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买这个东西。B选项“More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.(通常情况下,答案是“没什么(指不愿花钱再买回自己拥有的东西)”)”承接上文,说明很多时候对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低,与后文“If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.(如果是这样,那就清楚地表明,你重视这件物品不是因为它的实用性,而仅仅是因为禀赋效应)”对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低的原因是禀赋效应相呼应,故选B。
【40题详解】
后文“Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well.(除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间,它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去)”说除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间,它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去,说明禀赋效应有不好的影响。D选项“The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.(拥有物品的成本往往比我们想象的要高得多)”概括了后文内容,说明禀赋效应带来的危害,故选D。

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。
In many Asian, African and Latin American cultures, ____56____ (extend) eye contact is impolite and it is thought of ____57____ an offensive or a challenge of authority. It is considered politer to have brief eye contact, especially between people of different social status (like a student and a teacher, or a child and his elder relatives). For example, if a Japanese woman avoids looking someone in the eye, she is not showing a lack of interest nor is ____58____ (she) showing a lack of confidence. Instead, she ____59____ (be) polite, respectful and appropriate according to her culture. So in many of these cultures, you should take care of ____60____ kind of eye contact you initiate with those who are your ____61____ (superior) or in authority over you, so that you are not thought to be ____62____ (respect) or rude. As you can see, it is vital for you to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture.
Before you travel, you can either look up relevant information in your local public library ____63____ check out a book about the culture of the country you plan to visit in a bookstore. Learn how to make use of eye contact and other body language ____64____ (flexible) so that you ____65____ (perceive) to be polite, and so that you can better connect with people who are foreign to you!
【答案】56. extended
57. as 58. she
59. is being
60. what 61. superiors
62. disrespectful
63. or 64. flexibly
65. are perceived
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了眼神交流在不同文化中的含义,作者建议在去其他国家旅游之前,要查阅相关文化信息。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在许多亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲文化中,长时间的目光接触是不礼貌的,它被认为是一种冒犯或对权威的挑战。空处修饰eye contact,结合句意,此处缺少形容词extended作定语,表示“长期的”。故填extended。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。an offensive or a challenge of authority为名词词组,空处缺少介词,结合is thought of可知,此处为be thought of as短语,意思为:被认为是。故填as。
【58题详解】
考查代词。句意:例如,如果一个日本女人避免看某人的眼睛,她不是缺乏兴趣,也不是缺乏自信。nor后面的句子要进行部分倒装,is提到主语前面,is showing构成现在进行时,空处缺少句子的主语,用人称代词主格she。故填she。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:相反,根据她的文化,她表现得礼貌、尊重、得体。根据上文For example, if a Japanese woman avoids looking someone in the eye, she is not showing a lack of interest nor is 3 (she) showing a lack of confidence.可知,此处描述的是日本女性避免眼神接触时的即时行为状态,强调“正在表现礼貌”,应用现在进行时。主语为she,be动词用is。故填is being。
【60题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:所以在许多这样的文化中,你应该注意与你的上级或上层进行什么样的眼神接触,这样你就不会被认为是不尊重或粗鲁的。分析句子可知,空处为介词后,引导后面的句子,为宾语从句连接词,此处为修饰kind of eye contact,表示“什么种类的眼神接触”用连接代词what作定语。故填what。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。who引导定语从句修饰先行词 those,空处在从句中作表语,此处用名词superior意为“上级,上司”,为可数名词,结合先行词those可知此处表复数概念,用名词复数形式。故填superiors。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:同上。空处与rude并列,表示“无礼的,失礼的”,用形容词disrespectful。故填disrespectful。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:在你旅行之前,你可以在当地的公共图书馆里查找相关信息,或者在书店里找一本关于你计划去的国家文化的书。本句中含有either…or…意思为:要么……要么……,连接并列动词短语look up和check out。故填or。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:学习如何灵活地使用眼神交流和其他肢体语言,这样你就会被认为是有礼貌的,这样你就能更好地与外国人联系!空处修饰make use of,用副词flexibly作状语。故填flexibly。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态、语态。句意:同上。空处作谓语,you和perceive构成被动关系,空处描述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are perceived。

A Suggestion for a Better School Life
I would like to propose the introduction of a smart ordering system in our school canteen.
Unlike conventional in-person ordering at the counter, the smart ordering system would allow students and parents to pre-order meals through a school app. It would significantly shorten the wait and streamline the pickup process. Additionally, the system can provide detailed nutritional information and ingredient lists — an especially valuable feature for students with dietary restrictions or food allergies.
I am confident that this upgrade would make our daily school life more convenient, efficient, and inclusive for everyone.

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。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To her horror, the basket was empty.

At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
To her horror, the basket was empty. Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name. Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the worst, fearing that Pip might have been blown away by the storm or hurt by the falling branches. She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the sparrow gently in his hands, his expression a mix of concern and embarrassment. “I found him hiding under my porch,” he said, his voice softer than usual. “The storm was too strong for him.” Jane rushed over, tears of relief streaming down her face as she took Pip back. She looked up at Mr. Thompson, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thank you.” she whispered, her heart overflowing with joy and newfound respect for her neighbor.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Jane与邻居Mr. Thompson围绕鸟类的矛盾冲突为线索展开。Jane对鸟类满怀热爱,不仅每日在院子抛撒种子与鸟儿互动,还悉心救助了一只受伤的麻雀Pip。然而,邻居Mr. Thompson却对鸟儿极为厌烦,觉得它们吵闹且把院子弄得杂乱不堪。一次,Jane因外出遭遇暴风雨,回家后发现安置Pip的篮子空了,她顿时心急如焚,害怕Pip遭遇不测。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“令她惊恐的是,篮子是空的。”可知,第一段可着重描写Jane发现篮子空了之后,内心极度惊恐,进而在院子里疯狂寻找Pip,脑海中不断浮现各种Pip可能遭遇不幸的可怕场景。
②由第二段首句内容“这时,汤普森先生带着Pip出现了。”可知,第二段可描写汤普森先生讲述找到Pip的过程,Jane对汤普森先生表达感激之情,同时她对汤普森先生的看法也发生了转变。
2. 续写线索: Jane发现篮子空了——内心焦急、流泪寻找——担忧Pip遭遇危险——Mr. Thompson带着Pip出现——Mr. Thompson说明救助经过——Jane欣慰落泪、道谢——邻里关系缓和
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①颤抖:tremble/shiver
②涌出:well up/spring up
③浏览:scan/look through
情绪类
①恐惧:fear/dread
②宽慰:relief/comfort
【点睛】【高分句型1】Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name.(运用了两个as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构)
【高分句型2】She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.(运用了现在分词作状语、独立主格结构以及as引导的时间状语从句)

Walk through Adelphi’s campus and you’ll see many species of trees and decorative blooms. Now there’s another garden- the Community Garden- between Linen and Eddy halls. But instead of flowers, this garden grows peppers, lettuce and other vegetables that students are harvesting and donating to the Panther Pantry (食品援助中心) of the community, so their community members can get nutritious produce.
The Community Garden came about thanks to Kelly Andreuzzi, who has a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and a master’s degree in environmental studies. As former president of the Environmental Action Coalition (EAC) and an environmental activist, he led the garden initiative in 2022, with the support of the Center for Student and Community Engagement (SCE). “Community is especially important to me — I have immense passion for empowering my own community and dedicating time to providing services that truly make a difference.”
Erica Gibson, volunteer coordinator of the Panther Pantry, said the food donated is appreciated by the pantry and its patrons (受助者). “We want to supply the people who visit the pantry with fresh ingredients whenever we can to help them add a bit extra to the amazing variety of items we have already provided them,” she said. For example, she cited that the garden’s tomatoes could be used to make fresh tomato sauce to pair with the pantry’s various pastas.
The garden is a great place to learn and be a part of a community. Volunteers gain valuable skills and learn more about themselves. “Working on the Community Garden helped me gain the knowledge and experience to start my own garden at home to provide my family with a sustainable source of produce,” said Kelly. Being able to volunteer here provides students with new perspectives on agriculture and the importance of community. “Agriculture is hard, calculated work- it’s extremely time sensitive and requires an immense amount of consistent care.”
24. What do we know about the Community Garden?
A. It was initiated by Adelphi.
B. It mainly grows decorative flowers.
C. It contributes vegetables to the community.
D. Its produce is harvested by the Panther Pantry.
25. Which of the following can best describe Kelly?
A. Competitive and dedicated.
B. Humorous and passionate.
C. Caring and committed.
D. Patient and knowledgeable.
26. What can be inferred from Erica Gibson’s words?
A. The pantry aims to enrich the food options.
B. Most patrons prefer homemade tomato sauce.
C. Most patrons are amazed at the various items.
D. The pantry only offers tomatoes from the garden.
27. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The knowledge needed in voluntary work.
B. The importance of providing community service.
C. The hard and demanding work involved in agriculture.
D. The benefits of volunteering for the Community Garden.

The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can boost your well-being, a new research study has found, and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery.
Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress, but the research was limited and inconsistent. This study examined decades of scattered research, providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when, where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being. The review of 38 previously published studies covering a total of 6,805 participants was conducted by team of psychologists from University of Vienna, Trinity College Dublin, and Humboldt University of Berlin. It has been published this week in The Journal of Positive Psychology.
“People often think of art as a luxury, but our research suggests that viewing art, whether as a hobby or as a targeted health intervention, can meaningfully support well-being,” said MacKenzie Trupp, lead author and researcher at the University of Vienna and Radboud UMC, Donders Institute. “By reframing art as a low-cost, accessible well-being resource, this research opens up exciting possibilities for integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies.”
Claire Howlin, Assistant Professor, School of Psychology, Trinity, added, “While the mental health benefits of creating art have been widely explored, the impact of viewing art has been under-researched and undervalued. Yet visual art is present and accessible in everyday spaces — museums, galleries, hospitals, and at home. Understanding its effects can unlock new avenues for promoting well-being through everyday encounters with art.”
“Since 2019 the WHO has recommended that creative approaches are used alongside routine clinical care. Art can satisfy people’s need to search for meaning in life, build self-esteem, and develop positive identities which are important factors for coping with the chaos of life. Departments of health and arts councils across Europe are looking for high quality evidence to identify which types of arts can be used for each type of medical outcome. This review will help to plan larger scale studies in the future.”
28. What’s the main function of paragraph 2?
A. To provide references for the research.
B. To introduce the guidelines of the research.
C. To stress the professionalism of the new research.
D. To highlight the consistency of the previous research.
29. What does the underlined word “reframing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Designing. B. Redefining. C. Recognizing. D. Selecting.
30. How does Claire Howlin consider the impact of viewing art?
A. It calls for more attention.
B. It is a privilege of the rich.
C. Its effects on well-being are difficult to measure.
D. It can’t be integrated into public health strategies.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Art Facilitates Personal Growth B. Art Viewing Improves Well-being
C. Famous Artworks Boost Mood Most D. Art Creating Benefits Mental Health
D
Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. Whereas they first served people by supporting hunters, it did not take long before they became part of the home. Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. Research led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published recently in iScience, explains what might be going on. It reveals that the microbes (微生物)found in the guts (肠道)of dog owners are apparently different from those who do not own dogs and that this is, at least partially, responsible for the behavioral differences.
The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物)that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects. He and his colleagues therefore psychologically analysed 96 teens who were dog owners and 247 teens who were not. As expected, dog owners suffered from fewer social problems.
The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. After six weeks, mice carrying microbes from dog-owning teens spent longer approaching unfamiliar mice and showed greater concern for troubled cage-mates.
Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.
32. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Overcome. B. Replace. C. Balance. D. Reduce.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The differences between teenage dog owners and non-owners.
B. The design and participant selection of the experiment.
C. The biological basis and motivation for the research.
D. The role of gut microbes in shaping brain activity.
34. Why did the researchers conduct experiments on mice?
A. Dog owners show fewer social problems.
B. Teenagers were more difficult to study directly.
C. Human experiments may raise ethical concerns.
D. Mice can behave more actively in group interaction.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mouse-human comparisons may have limits in brain research.
B. Spending time with dogs may contribute to mental well-being.
C. Developing a healthy mind depends on careful self-reflection.
D. Psychological health requires changes in biological systems.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday. ____36____ I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.
Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle. ____37____ It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it.
Why does this happen? At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____38____ Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours. We project our identity onto the object, making it painful to move on.
Fortunately, there is an effective counteraction: shifting your perspective from an “owner” to a “buyer”. When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?” ____39____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.
____40____ Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well. Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters.
A. It just feels right to keep them.
B. More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.
C. Thus, a price gap exists between buyers and sellers.
D. The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.
E. We often mistakenly believe these items define who we are.
F. That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.
G. The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.

In many Asian, African and Latin American cultures, ____56____ (extend) eye contact is impolite and it is thought of ____57____ an offensive or a challenge of authority. It is considered politer to have brief eye contact, especially between people of different social status (like a student and a teacher, or a child and his elder relatives). For example, if a Japanese woman avoids looking someone in the eye, she is not showing a lack of interest nor is ____58____ (she) showing a lack of confidence. Instead, she ____59____ (be) polite, respectful and appropriate according to her culture. So in many of these cultures, you should take care of ____60____ kind of eye contact you initiate with those who are your ____61____ (superior) or in authority over you, so that you are not thought to be ____62____ (respect) or rude. As you can see, it is vital for you to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture.
Before you travel, you can either look up relevant information in your local public library ____63____ check out a book about the culture of the country you plan to visit in a bookstore. Learn how to make use of eye contact and other body language ____64____ (flexible) so that you ____65____ (perceive) to be polite, and so that you can better connect with people who are foreign to you!

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。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

To her horror, the basket was empty.
