Macy had just stepped off her school bus on Monday afternoon when she was confronted with a horrifying scene: her family’s residence was swallowed by flames. Without the slightest delay, she dashed toward the house and sprang into immediate action.
“You can witness the moment she realized her house was on fire,” her mother Lisa Johnson recalled. “She raced to the front door and yelled desperately into the building, ‘Flee at once! The house is burning!’” Inside, her two elder brothers remained totally unconscious of the potential danger.
One of them, a 14-year-old boy, had returned home feeling under the weather and was asleep in a bedroom directly above the garage, where the fire had already begun to spread fiercely. The other was taking a shower, preparing for his work. Neither noticed nor sensed anything abnormal until Macy’s desperate shouts alerted them. Thanks to Macy’s swift reaction, both brothers managed to make a narrow escape.
Firefighters from Richmond Hill and Bryan County responded quickly and succeeded in containing the blaze before it ruined the entire two-storey house. Even so, the damage left behind is overwhelming.
The family had settled into the house merely several months before, and the majority of their possessions have been reduced to ashes. Despite the huge loss, the Johnson family cherishes what is most precious to them. Terrible as it is to lose almost all their belongings, they still have each other.
While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, one truth is already evident: By virtue of Macy’s bravery, the outcome took a totally different turn. Within seconds, her natural instinct and remarkable courage transformed what could have been a possible tragedy into an inspiring tale of affection, family bond and noble heroism.
4. What did Macy do immediately after seeing the fire?
A. She rushed to the door and yelled. B. She turned to neighbors for help.
C. She called her mom and escaped. D. She attempted to put the fire out.
5. What does the underlined phrase “under the weather” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Scared. B. Energetic. C. Tense. D. Unwell.
6. What can we learn about the Johnson family?
A. They plan to rebuild the house. B. They value their belongings most.
C. They hold strong family bonds. D. They regret their new settlement.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Girl’s Life-saving Bravery B. A Sudden Terrible House Fire
C. Lucky Survival from Fire D. Seconds That Showed Family Love
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了女孩Macy放学回家发现家中失火,立刻冲到门前大声呼喊,及时叫醒屋内毫无察觉的两个哥哥,让两人侥幸逃生;大火损毁了家中绝大部分财物,但Johnson一家人十分珍惜彼此,女孩凭借自身的勇气与本能避免了一场悲剧,谱写了亲情与英勇的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““She raced to the front door and yelled desperately into the building, ‘Flee at once! The house is burning!’’’(“她冲到前门,朝着屋里拼命大喊:‘快逃!房子着火了!’”)”可知,Macy看到火情后立刻冲到门口大声呼喊。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Despite the huge loss, the Johnson family cherishes what is most precious to them. Terrible as it is to lose almost all their belongings, they still have each other.(尽管损失惨重,Johnson一家珍惜对他们而言最珍贵的事物。虽然几乎失去全部财物十分糟糕,但他们还拥有彼此。)”可知,Johnson一家人拥有牢固深厚的家庭纽带。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, one truth is already evident: By virtue of Macy’s bravery, the outcome took a totally different turn. Within seconds, her natural instinct and remarkable courage transformed what could have been a possible tragedy into an inspiring tale of affection, family bond and noble heroism.(尽管火灾起因仍在调查之中,但有一个事实已经十分明确:凭借Macy的勇敢,结局彻底扭转。短短几秒内,她的本能与非凡勇气将一场本可能发生的悲剧,变成了一个饱含温情、亲情纽带与高尚英勇的励志故事。)”可知,全文核心围绕Macy救人的勇敢行为展开,A选项“A Girl’s Life-saving Bravery(女孩舍身救人的英勇之举)”最能概括全文主旨。
C
When we are treated without respect, our initial reaction tends to be anger and an urge to strike back instantly to dominate the argument. Yet such a response only leaves us at a disadvantage. The more fiercely we react, the deeper we slip into a psychological trap known as the Hercules Effect (赫拉克勒斯效应). It refers to the fact that some people deliberately release disrespect as a trap, attempting to drag us into negative emotions. Once we fall for it, we will sacrifice our mental peace and energy.
Many people mistakenly assume that respect has to be obtained by proving personal value. Actually, gaining respect is more accessible than expected. Psychologists label the essential strategy as “non-defensive calm boundary holding” — remaining calm without too much explanation or unnecessary apology. Respect is a learnable skill rather than a talent for charming personalities. Keeping calm removes excuses others have for quarrels and prevents offensive reactions.
A study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley reveals that “calm boundary setting” lowers individuals’ stress hormones (荷尔蒙). A calm state can stabilize others’ nervous systems and inspire them to follow suit. In addition, open gestures, controlled breathing and relaxed facial expressions contribute to our self-control and confidence.
Three principles apply to establishing calm boundaries. First, express yourself briefly and politely to convey determination. Second, adopt a neutral tone without emotional instability. Third, declare your limits firmly without consultation. For instance, “I’m unavailable tonight” is much more effective than hesitation and compromise.
Practicing calm boundaries may bring pressure, especially for those accustomed to pleasing others. Some may even regard refusal as an offense. Nevertheless, we can begin with minor daily occasions. By sticking to calm boundaries, we will gradually win sincere respect and escape the Hercules Effect.
8. What does the Hercules Effect refer to?
A. A strategy for obtaining respect. B. A way used to overpower others in quarrels.
C. A phenomenon of losing self-control. D. A trap set by others’ intentional disrespect.
9. What does the Berkeley study suggest about “calm boundary setting”?
A. It boosts individuals’ stress hormones. B. It reduces tension hormones and calms others.
C. It calls for open gestures and controlled breathing. D. It mainly relies on relaxed facial expressions.
10. Which is one rule of setting calm boundaries?
A. Talk with strong angry feelings. B. Ask others for permission of your limits.
C. State your needs shortly and politely. D. Make lots of compromises every time.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To discuss stress hormones. B. To advise staying calm for respect.
C. To explain how to avoid quarrels. D. To describe a study on stress.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“赫拉克勒斯效应”的含义,讲解冷静设立边界的方法、好处与三大原则,告诉读者保持冷静边界能收获尊重、摆脱负面情绪陷阱。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“The more fiercely we react, the deeper we slip into a psychological trap known as the Hercules Effect (赫拉克勒斯效应). It refers to the fact that some people deliberately release disrespect as a trap, attempting to drag us into negative emotions.(我们反应越激烈,就越深地陷入一种被称为‘赫拉克勒斯效应’的心理陷阱。它指的是有些人故意释放不尊重作为一种陷阱,试图将我们拖入负面情绪。)”可知,赫拉克勒斯效应是指他人通过蓄意的不尊重行为设置的陷阱。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“A study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley reveals that “calm boundary setting” lowers individuals’ stress hormones (荷尔蒙). A calm state can stabilize others’ nervous systems and inspire them to follow suit.(加州大学伯克利分校开展的一项研究揭示,‘冷静设界’能降低个体的压力荷尔蒙。冷静的状态能稳定他人的神经系统,并激励他们也效仿这种状态。)”可知,伯克利的研究表明,冷静设界能减少紧张荷尔蒙并平复他人情绪。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第四段中的“Three principles apply to establishing calm boundaries. First, express yourself briefly and politely to convey determination.(建立冷静界限遵循三项原则。首先,简短礼貌地表达自己,以传达决心。)”可知,设定冷静界限的规则之一是简短礼貌地陈述需求。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文并结合最后一段“Practicing calm boundaries may bring pressure, especially for those accustomed to pleasing others. Some may even regard refusal as an offense. Nevertheless, we can begin with minor daily occasions. By sticking to calm boundaries, we will gradually win sincere respect and escape the Hercules Effect.( 践行冷静设界可能会带来压力,对于那些习惯于取悦他人的人尤为如此。有些人甚至可能将拒绝视为冒犯。尽管如此,我们可以从日常的小事做起。通过坚守冷静界限,我们将逐渐赢得真诚的尊重,并摆脱赫拉克勒斯效应的困扰。)”可知,文章围绕“获得尊重”展开,核心观点是人们可以通过保持冷静、设立边界赢得尊重,跳出赫拉克勒斯效应的陷阱,因此本文的主要写作目的是建议人们为了赢得尊重保持冷静。
D
There’s a growing view that generative AI weakens young people’s thinking, leading to calls for bans and restrictions. Yet research shows its impact varies greatly depending on how young people use it and their social and emotional support systems.
A large-scale study of 13 to 24-year-olds in America was conducted in November 2025. The study involving over 100 detailed questions about AI use, its impacts on daily life, and mental health, revealed four distinct user groups. One in ten young people are optimistic “power users” who treat generative AI as a valuable tool for learning and personal growth. A group of similar size turns to AI as a substitute (替代品) for the social and emotional support they lack in offline life. These high-frequency AI users often suffer from higher levels of emotional pain, as many of them face bullying, discrimination or serious financial pressure in daily life. Though AI companions may be better than having no support at all, general-purpose AI systems are not designed to take on this role safely and cannot reliably recognize when a young person needs to be directed to professional mental health help.
Roughly a tenth of young people keep a safe distance from AI entirely, as they feel anxious about its potential negative impacts. This group explains AI often increases their anxiety due to concerns about being watched and privacy leaks. Over half of young people, however, use AI in a practical way, treating it as a practical tool rather than a reliance, thanks to their strong social support and sense of belonging.
Policymakers should not focus merely on limiting young people’s exposure to AI. Instead, a comprehensive approach is needed, including setting up smart and strong safeguards for AI systems, building effective paths from AI tools to human care services, and helping parents have more informed and in-depth conversations with teens about AI’s advantages and potential risks.
Ultimately, AI itself does not determine young people’s well-being, but it does reflect and sometimes highlight the strengths or gaps in the human support systems around them.
12. What do “power users” think of generative AI?
A. An emotional aid. B. A substitute for friends.
C. A cause of anxiety. D. A beneficial learning tool.
13. What can be known about general-purpose AI systems?
A. They safely offer emotional support. B. They fail to detect mental crises.
C. They are designed for learning. D. They reduce privacy concerns.
14. What can be inferred about policymakers’ current approach?
A. It has built safe AI systems. B. It ignores AI’s negative impacts.
C. It encourages parent-teen talks. D. It only restricts youngsters’ AI use.
15. What does the text say about AI itself?
A. It directly shapes teenagers’ mental well-being. B. It can fully replace professional mental services.
C. It mirrors human support systems around teens. D. It removes teenagers’ sense of belonging.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要探讨了生成式人工智能对年轻人思维的影响并非绝对负面,其作用取决于使用方式与青少年自身的社会情感支持体系,并介绍了一项美国青年AI使用现状调研结果,最后为政策制定者提出治理建议,点明AI本身不决定青年幸福感,而是映射周边人文支持体系的优劣。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One in ten young people are optimistic ‘power users’ who treat generative AI as a valuable tool for learning and personal growth.(十分之一的年轻人是乐观的‘重度高效使用者’,他们将生成式人工智能视作助力学习与个人成长的实用工具。)”可知,power users认为生成式AI是有益的学习工具。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Though AI companions may be better than having no support at all, general-purpose AI systems are not designed to take on this role safely and cannot reliably recognize when a young person needs to be directed to professional mental health help.(尽管AI陪伴总比毫无支撑要好,但通用人工智能系统并非为安全承担情感陪护功能而设计,无法精准识别年轻人何时需要转接专业心理健康援助。)”可知,通用AI系统无法察觉青少年的心理危机。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Policymakers should not focus merely on limiting young people’s exposure to AI.(政策制定者不应只专注于限制青少年接触人工智能。)”可知,政策制定者当下采取的方式仅仅是限制年轻人使用AI。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, AI itself does not determine young people’s well-being, but it does reflect and sometimes highlight the strengths or gaps in the human support systems around them.(归根结底,AI本身并不决定年轻人的身心健康状况,但它确实能够反映、有时还会凸显青少年身边人文支持体系的优势与短板。)”可知,AI能够映射青少年周遭的人文支持体系。

Center on health — not weight.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 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。
In the ancient city of Aswan, Egypt, where the golden sands meet the calm blue waters of the Nile, lived an 11-year-old Nubian boy named Mahmoud Said. His small, sun-browned hands were skilled at crafting beautiful necklaces and accessories (衣服配饰) from local clay and leaves. During his school holidays, he would set up a small wooden table at the entrance of the magnificent Temple of Philae, hoping to sell these things to the tourists who wandered by.
His journey to work was a daily adventure. He would rise early, help his mother prepare breakfast for his younger brothers and sisters, and then row across the wide Nile from his home on Heissa Island in a small wooden boat. The gentle breeze and the sight of ancient ruins made the trip bearable, but it also reminded him of his responsibility to contribute to his family’s low income.
Little did he know, a simple mistake was about to test his character in the most profound way. One sunny afternoon, Maria, a tourist from Argentina, was attracted by Mahmoud’s beautiful crafts. She picked out a small necklace priced at 5 dollars but carelessly pulled out a 20-dollar note instead of small change.
At that time, Mahmoud was busy wrapping a gift for another visitor without stopping to look closely at the money. Feeling happy that someone liked his handmade things, he thanked Maria warmly and quickly put the money in his pocket. For him, the 5 dollars would help his family pay for food and medicine.
After Maria left, Mahmoud finished wrapping the gift. He reached into his pocket and found it was a 20-dollar note.
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。
Holding the note tightly, Mahmoud was trapped in his inner struggle.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After much searching, he caught sight of Maria by the ancient temple.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Holding the note tightly, Mahmoud was trapped in his inner struggle. The extra 15 dollars could cover his little sister’s medicine and daily groceries, which would greatly ease his family’s financial burden. However, the thought of keeping the money made him feel guilty. He knew honesty was far more precious than money. The tourist had trusted him, and he could never betray such kindness. Without hesitation, he decided to return the extra money at once. He packed up his table hurriedly and rushed towards the temple.
After much searching, he caught sight of Maria by the ancient temple. Breathing heavily, he ran up to her and held out the 15 dollars, explaining the whole mistake sincerely. Surprised and touched, Maria praised Mahmoud for his honesty. She said it was the most precious experience during her trip. A bright smile spread across Mahmoud’s face. Though he missed the extra income, he gained great peace of mind. This experience taught him that honesty is the best treasure in life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了埃及努比亚男孩Mahmoud Said靠手工饰品在景区售卖补贴家用,游客Maria多付了钱款,男孩发现后内心纠结,最终坚守诚信原路寻找游客归还多余钱款,收获内心安宁与他人称赞的故事,突出诚信为人的主题。
【详解】 1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写Mahmoud内心的激烈挣扎:一边是多出的15美元能缓解家庭经济压力、支付妹妹药费和日常伙食;一边是良知不安,明白诚信重于钱财,最终下定决心立刻收起摊位,前往神庙寻找Maria归还钱款。
②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写Mahmoud气喘吁吁找到Maria,诚恳说明失误并归还多余钱款;Maria十分动容,高度赞扬男孩的诚实;Mahmoud虽没有得到额外收入,却收获了内心的平静,领悟到诚信是人生最珍贵的财富。
2. 续写线索:

Macy had just stepped off her school bus on Monday afternoon when she was confronted with a horrifying scene: her family’s residence was swallowed by flames. Without the slightest delay, she dashed toward the house and sprang into immediate action.
“You can witness the moment she realized her house was on fire,” her mother Lisa Johnson recalled. “She raced to the front door and yelled desperately into the building, ‘Flee at once! The house is burning!’” Inside, her two elder brothers remained totally unconscious of the potential danger.
One of them, a 14-year-old boy, had returned home feeling under the weather and was asleep in a bedroom directly above the garage, where the fire had already begun to spread fiercely. The other was taking a shower, preparing for his work. Neither noticed nor sensed anything abnormal until Macy’s desperate shouts alerted them. Thanks to Macy’s swift reaction, both brothers managed to make a narrow escape.
Firefighters from Richmond Hill and Bryan County responded quickly and succeeded in containing the blaze before it ruined the entire two-storey house. Even so, the damage left behind is overwhelming.
The family had settled into the house merely several months before, and the majority of their possessions have been reduced to ashes. Despite the huge loss, the Johnson family cherishes what is most precious to them. Terrible as it is to lose almost all their belongings, they still have each other.
While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, one truth is already evident: By virtue of Macy’s bravery, the outcome took a totally different turn. Within seconds, her natural instinct and remarkable courage transformed what could have been a possible tragedy into an inspiring tale of affection, family bond and noble heroism.
4. What did Macy do immediately after seeing the fire?
A. She rushed to the door and yelled. B. She turned to neighbors for help.
C. She called her mom and escaped. D. She attempted to put the fire out.
5. What does the underlined phrase “under the weather” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Scared. B. Energetic. C. Tense. D. Unwell.
6. What can we learn about the Johnson family?
A. They plan to rebuild the house. B. They value their belongings most.
C. They hold strong family bonds. D. They regret their new settlement.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Girl’s Life-saving Bravery B. A Sudden Terrible House Fire
C. Lucky Survival from Fire D. Seconds That Showed Family Love
C
When we are treated without respect, our initial reaction tends to be anger and an urge to strike back instantly to dominate the argument. Yet such a response only leaves us at a disadvantage. The more fiercely we react, the deeper we slip into a psychological trap known as the Hercules Effect (赫拉克勒斯效应). It refers to the fact that some people deliberately release disrespect as a trap, attempting to drag us into negative emotions. Once we fall for it, we will sacrifice our mental peace and energy.
Many people mistakenly assume that respect has to be obtained by proving personal value. Actually, gaining respect is more accessible than expected. Psychologists label the essential strategy as “non-defensive calm boundary holding” — remaining calm without too much explanation or unnecessary apology. Respect is a learnable skill rather than a talent for charming personalities. Keeping calm removes excuses others have for quarrels and prevents offensive reactions.
A study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley reveals that “calm boundary setting” lowers individuals’ stress hormones (荷尔蒙). A calm state can stabilize others’ nervous systems and inspire them to follow suit. In addition, open gestures, controlled breathing and relaxed facial expressions contribute to our self-control and confidence.
Three principles apply to establishing calm boundaries. First, express yourself briefly and politely to convey determination. Second, adopt a neutral tone without emotional instability. Third, declare your limits firmly without consultation. For instance, “I’m unavailable tonight” is much more effective than hesitation and compromise.
Practicing calm boundaries may bring pressure, especially for those accustomed to pleasing others. Some may even regard refusal as an offense. Nevertheless, we can begin with minor daily occasions. By sticking to calm boundaries, we will gradually win sincere respect and escape the Hercules Effect.
8. What does the Hercules Effect refer to?
A. A strategy for obtaining respect. B. A way used to overpower others in quarrels.
C. A phenomenon of losing self-control. D. A trap set by others’ intentional disrespect.
9. What does the Berkeley study suggest about “calm boundary setting”?
A. It boosts individuals’ stress hormones. B. It reduces tension hormones and calms others.
C. It calls for open gestures and controlled breathing. D. It mainly relies on relaxed facial expressions.
10. Which is one rule of setting calm boundaries?
A. Talk with strong angry feelings. B. Ask others for permission of your limits.
C. State your needs shortly and politely. D. Make lots of compromises every time.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To discuss stress hormones. B. To advise staying calm for respect.
C. To explain how to avoid quarrels. D. To describe a study on stress.
D
There’s a growing view that generative AI weakens young people’s thinking, leading to calls for bans and restrictions. Yet research shows its impact varies greatly depending on how young people use it and their social and emotional support systems.
A large-scale study of 13 to 24-year-olds in America was conducted in November 2025. The study involving over 100 detailed questions about AI use, its impacts on daily life, and mental health, revealed four distinct user groups. One in ten young people are optimistic “power users” who treat generative AI as a valuable tool for learning and personal growth. A group of similar size turns to AI as a substitute (替代品) for the social and emotional support they lack in offline life. These high-frequency AI users often suffer from higher levels of emotional pain, as many of them face bullying, discrimination or serious financial pressure in daily life. Though AI companions may be better than having no support at all, general-purpose AI systems are not designed to take on this role safely and cannot reliably recognize when a young person needs to be directed to professional mental health help.
Roughly a tenth of young people keep a safe distance from AI entirely, as they feel anxious about its potential negative impacts. This group explains AI often increases their anxiety due to concerns about being watched and privacy leaks. Over half of young people, however, use AI in a practical way, treating it as a practical tool rather than a reliance, thanks to their strong social support and sense of belonging.
Policymakers should not focus merely on limiting young people’s exposure to AI. Instead, a comprehensive approach is needed, including setting up smart and strong safeguards for AI systems, building effective paths from AI tools to human care services, and helping parents have more informed and in-depth conversations with teens about AI’s advantages and potential risks.
Ultimately, AI itself does not determine young people’s well-being, but it does reflect and sometimes highlight the strengths or gaps in the human support systems around them.
12. What do “power users” think of generative AI?
A. An emotional aid. B. A substitute for friends.
C. A cause of anxiety. D. A beneficial learning tool.
13. What can be known about general-purpose AI systems?
A. They safely offer emotional support. B. They fail to detect mental crises.
C. They are designed for learning. D. They reduce privacy concerns.
14. What can be inferred about policymakers’ current approach?
A. It has built safe AI systems. B. It ignores AI’s negative impacts.
C. It encourages parent-teen talks. D. It only restricts youngsters’ AI use.
15. What does the text say about AI itself?
A. It directly shapes teenagers’ mental well-being. B. It can fully replace professional mental services.
C. It mirrors human support systems around teens. D. It removes teenagers’ sense of belonging.

47. 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。
In the ancient city of Aswan, Egypt, where the golden sands meet the calm blue waters of the Nile, lived an 11-year-old Nubian boy named Mahmoud Said. His small, sun-browned hands were skilled at crafting beautiful necklaces and accessories (衣服配饰) from local clay and leaves. During his school holidays, he would set up a small wooden table at the entrance of the magnificent Temple of Philae, hoping to sell these things to the tourists who wandered by.
His journey to work was a daily adventure. He would rise early, help his mother prepare breakfast for his younger brothers and sisters, and then row across the wide Nile from his home on Heissa Island in a small wooden boat. The gentle breeze and the sight of ancient ruins made the trip bearable, but it also reminded him of his responsibility to contribute to his family’s low income.
Little did he know, a simple mistake was about to test his character in the most profound way. One sunny afternoon, Maria, a tourist from Argentina, was attracted by Mahmoud’s beautiful crafts. She picked out a small necklace priced at 5 dollars but carelessly pulled out a 20-dollar note instead of small change.
At that time, Mahmoud was busy wrapping a gift for another visitor without stopping to look closely at the money. Feeling happy that someone liked his handmade things, he thanked Maria warmly and quickly put the money in his pocket. For him, the 5 dollars would help his family pay for food and medicine.
After Maria left, Mahmoud finished wrapping the gift. He reached into his pocket and found it was a 20-dollar note.
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。
Holding the note tightly, Mahmoud was trapped in his inner struggle.

After much searching, he caught sight of Maria by the ancient temple.
