Sportcation: A New Weekend Trend in China
When the Start of Summer (li xia) began on May 5, outdoor activities saw a sharp rise. A new travel model called “sportcation” — combining fitness, leisure, and social interaction — has gained popularity in China. Unlike traditional tourism, sportcation focuses on active experiences rather than sightseeing alone.
Growing Search and Booking Interest
The 2026 Sportcation Travel Trend Report shows that as of May 15, searches for activities like river tracing, hiking, cycling, and rock climbing increased by over 180% month-on-month. Two-to-three-day trips have seen the greatest booking interest, especially for weekend getaways. Many travel packages now include guided tours and equipment rental.
Who Is Going?
Known as “high-energy friendly travel” by Chinese netizens, sportcation has become a favorite choice for weekend getaways. While travelers aged 20 to 35 make up the main group, people around 55 are also joining the trend. Popular destinations include Zhejiang, Hainan, Anhui, and Guangdong provinces, each offering unique natural landscapes for outdoor activities.
Top Activity Choices
Hiking is among the top choices, with ancient trails and mountain hikes offering stunning views. Tropical rainforests are another ideal spot. For example, the Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Zone in Hainan provides stream hiking and will add rafting this summer. Such activities allow visitors to enjoy nature while staying physically active.
Cycling is also attracting many office workers. Searches for scenic rivers and lakes suitable for cycling have surged over the past week. The most popular routes include Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, Erhai Lake in Yunnan, and the Yulong River in Guangxi. This trend has boosted bookings for nearby hotels and attraction tickets, as cyclists often look for comfortable accommodation after a day’s ride.
Beyond the Basics
Other sports requiring expertise, such as surfing, rock climbing, yoga, and tennis, are also rising quickly. These activities appeal to those seeking both challenge and relaxation in a natural setting.
1. What do we know about the main customer group for sportcation?
A. It is made up of people over 55. B. It mainly consists of young adults.
C. It only includes experienced athletes. D. It has been decreasing in recent years.
2. What new activity will be introduced this summer?
A. Hiking along ancient trails. B. Cycling around Qiandao Lake.
C. Rafting in a rainforest zone. D. Surfing on tropical beaches.
3. Where is this text most likely to be taken from?
A. A science journal. B. A history textbook. C. A personal blog. D. A travel magazine.

The world is a beautiful place filled with all kinds of exciting adventures. Some extreme adventures are far out of reach for ordinary people, especially for those with physical disabilities. However, Project Airtime, a famous nonprofit organization based in Utah, is devoting itself to making the dream of flying accessible to every special person in need.
Chris Santacroce has been an outdoor sports lover since he was young. He worked as a full-time professional paraglider (滑翔伞运动员) starting from 1992. He earned precious chances to travel across the world and even became a signed athlete of Red Bull. Unfortunately, a sudden spinal cord (脊髓) injury ruined his adventurous life overnight. He had to rely on a wheelchair and lost the ability to do what he loved most. Though he eventually recovered completely, this unforgettable experience greatly changed his values and life goals. He changed his mindset from showing off his own strength to serving others selflessly. “I once chased my own glory in the sky, but now I want to light up others’ dreams,” Chris said.
It is this kind and generous thought that inspired Chris to found Project Airtime. The organization helps different groups of people, including brain injury patients, senior citizens and disabled veterans (退伍军人). All of them hold a sincere desire to break physical limits and soar in the blue sky.
Joe Stone is a typical and inspiring beneficiary of the project. In 2010, a terrible flying accident left him quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者). He suffered huge physical pain and endless difficulties in life, but he was tough, optimistic and never surrendered to his fate. He finished crossing famous mountain roads by hand-cranked bicycles and even became a quadriplegic Ironman triathlete. After realizing his flying dream with the help of the project, the warm-hearted Joe chose to pass on love. He now works as a task supervisor and trainer, devoting his spare time to helping more disabled people chase their dreams. “Disability limits my body, but never limits my courage to fly,” Joe shared.
For Chris and his team, the project is never just about a sport. It offers hope and courage to those who are trapped by physical disabilities.
4. What made Chris build Project Airtime?
A. His dream of being a professional coach. B. His recovery from a terrible injury.
C. His wish to help others realize flying dreams. D. His experience of competing worldwide.
5. What does the underlined word “beneficiary” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. People who get help. B. People who offer support.
C. People who train athletes. D. People who design projects.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Joe Stone?
A. Humorous and strict. B. Tough and warm-hearted.
C. Cautious and creative. D. Modest and talkative.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Two paragliders’ adventurous life experiences.
B. How physical disabilities influence people’s life.
C. The development of a special flying sport project.
D. A nonprofit helps disabled people fly and gain hope.
C
Maintaining a healthy weight depends not only on food choices but also on meal timing, according to a five-year study carried out by Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). The study confirmed that two eating patterns are helpful to cut BMI (身体质量指数): lengthening overnight fasting (禁食) and having breakfast early.
The research collected data from over 7,000 adults aged 40-65. Researchers recorded participants’ height, weight, eating schedule, lifestyle habits and socioeconomic background via questionnaires in 2018. Five years later, in 2023, more than 3,000 of these individuals returned for subsequent (后续的) assessments. Researchers recorded updated measurements and collected new survey data, allowing them to track changes and identify patterns over time.
Scientists explain early eating matches human circadian rhythms (生理昼夜节律), improving calorie consumption and appetite control. Yet the study also finds a key misunderstanding among dieters: skipping breakfast for occasional fasting brings no weight-loss benefits and closely links to unhealthy living habits like heavy smoking and lack of movement for some adult men.
Further group analysis based on cluster analysis (聚类分析) shows clear gender gaps in diet and lifestyle. Females generally keep lower BMI with stricter Mediterranean diet rules and far less alcohol intake in daily life. At the same time, they reported poorer mental health and were more often responsible for household or family supervision. On the contrary, a small group of late-first-meal males tend to smoke heavily, drink frequently and take almost no regular physical exercise, with lower education levels and higher rates of unemployment as well.
The research belongs to chrononutrition, a rising field focusing on eating timing besides food types. Past related studies have also found early breakfast and dinner lower risks of heart disease and diabetes, proving meal schedule matters greatly to long-term physical health.
8. What is the core finding of the study?
A. What people eat matters more than eating time.
B. Proper meal timing helps people control weight.
C. Skipping breakfast is the best way to lose extra weight.
D. Healthy diet works equally well for men and women.
9. How did researchers finish their five-year survey?
A. By investigating participants’ eating schedules.
B. By dividing adults into two fixed eating groups.
C. By using updated measurements as the only source.
D. By gathering questionnaires and doing follow-up evaluations.
10. What can we learn about irregular fasting without breakfast?
A. It helps most females lose weight quickly. B. It can effectively prevent serious diabetes.
C. It is strongly suggested by medical experts. D. It produces no obvious weight-losing effect.
11. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Lower education is the main cause of men’s unhealthy diets.
B. Housework pressure makes all women refuse to take exercise.
C. Men eating their first meal late face multiple poor lifestyle risks.
D. Women’s good eating habits fully guarantee sound mental health.
D
In our digital age, many things fight for our attention: phone buzzes, social media, endless emails and content. Real stillness — when our mind can wander freely — has become rare. Technology is part of work, education, and relationships. Not participating feels to many like nonexistence. Platforms promise endless choices and self-expression, but this promise is deceptive. What appears as freedom masks a subtle pressure: distraction, visibility, and engagement become obligations.
For people who want to step out of this loop, a possible answer came from a thinker most people wouldn’t expect to help us with TikTok era problems: the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. He believed that modern technology is not just a collection of tools, but a way of seeing the world as a resource — including our own minds and bodies. Digital culture values speed, visibility, algorithms, and creating content all the time. Life starts to act like a social media feed: always updating, always “now,” and unable to stand slowness or silence. This harms deep thinking, making us unable to enjoy silence or face empty moments.
When moments of silence or emptiness arise, we instinctively look to others — not for real connection, but to flee from boredom and fill the nothingness with distraction. However, for Heidegger, profound boredom is not merely a psychological state but privileged mood in which the everyday world begins to withdraw. In his lectures, he described boredom as a basic state in which the world becomes strangely indifferent to us. In that state, we see life as a whole. Boredom is not an absence but a threshold — a condition for thinking, wonder, and the emergence of meaning. If we never allow ourselves to be bored, we never truly allow ourselves to be who we are.
Digital distractions stop us from entering this important state. We turn our restlessness into scrolling, which only creates more scrolling. Rediscovering boredom is not about wasting time. It is about getting back the conditions for thought, depth, and being true to ourselves. The unstructured moment and the quiet pause are not failures — they are necessary for a full life.
12. How does the author introduce the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting previous research. B. By defining a key concept.
C. By describing common experiences. D. By making a striking contrast.
13. According to Heidegger, what is the role of boredom?
A. It is a psychological disorder to be avoided. B. It fosters genuine thought and insight.
C. It results from too much digital distraction. D. It is something people instinctively escape from.
14. What does the author suggest at the end of the passage?
A. We should completely reject digital technology.
B. We need to spend more time on social media.
C. We should rediscover boredom as a path to authenticity.
D. We must learn to fill every silent moment with content.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Fighting Distraction: A Battle We Keep Losing.
B. Following Heidegger: A Way to Escape from Digital Overload.
C. Losing Stillness: The Real Price of Constant Connection.
D. Embracing Boredom: The Unexpected Path to Being Ourselves.
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。
In today’s fast-paced digital environment, multitasking has become a badge of honor. Students pride themselves on texting while studying, professionals attend meetings while responding to emails, and parents cook dinner while helping with homework. ____16____ In fact, decades of cognitive science research have consistently demonstrated that what we call multitasking is a neurological illusion.
The human brain is not wired for parallel processing of multiple attention-demanding tasks. Instead, what actually occurs is rapid task-switching — the brain shifts its focus back and forth between activities at remarkable speed. ____17____ Each switch causes a “switching cost”: a brief period of confusion and reduced performance that accumulates over time.
This switching cost has measurable consequences. Studies using functional MRI scans reveal that when the brain toggles between tasks, multiple regions must repeatedly adjust themselves, consuming glucose (葡萄糖) and depleting cognitive resources. These effects include mental fatigue, increased error rates, and a significant extension of total completion time — often by as much as 40% compared to single-tasking. ___18___
Perhaps more disturbing is the impact on deep learning. ____19____ When we constantly divide our attention, information is processed superficially and stored in temporary, fragile memory systems. This explains why students who study while distracted often feel they have “covered” the material but perform poorly on assessments that require genuine comprehension.
____20____ This means not in eliminating all distractions — an unrealistic goal — but in deliberately structuring periods of uninterrupted focus. By protecting these focused sessions, we allow our brains to engage in the deep processing necessary for true understanding and creativity. The most productive individuals are not those who do many things at once, but those who do one thing at a time, with full presence.
A. This phenomenon, known as “attention residue”, occurs when part of your focus remains stuck on the previous task.
B. Yet this widespread belief in the efficiency of multitasking is fundamentally misguided.
C. This phenomenon is particularly problematic when the previous task is cognitively demanding or emotionally engaging.
D. Consequently, the quality of learning suffers dramatically.
E. To counteract these negative effects, researchers advocate for the deliberate practice of “monotasking.”
F. This process, though seemingly seamless, comes at a significant cognitive price.
G. However, this does not mean that all forms of multitasking are equally harmful.

For forty years, Yin Yuzhen has ____21____ herself to turning a stretch of Inner Mongolia desert into green land.

In her heartfelt video, Yin sincerely invited Sakolsky to ____27____ China, telling him that the small sum of money he donated has grown into a thriving forest covering the desert.
Back in 1999, Sakolsky accidentally came across Yin’s moving story through a TV program. Greatly ____28____ by her persistent efforts to fight desertification in tough conditions, he decided to offer ____29____. He donated 5,000 dollars to her tree-planting work via an American foundation. What’s more, he traveled all the way to the Mu Us Desert to meet Yin in person.
During his first visit, Sakolsky ____30____ the tough scene with his own eyes: Yin carried heavy bundles of young saplings across endless sand dunes, with only simple and basic tools. He couldn’t help repeating the word “____31____” for he truly doubted how those thin, finger-thick saplings could survive such harsh and cruel desert environments. At that moment, he was totally impressed by Yin’s perseverance and ____32____.
The long-awaited breakthrough finally came on May 16, when journalists successfully ____33____ Bai Fan, who used to be Sakolsky’s colleague in China. Bai recalled that Sakolsky came to China to work as a foreign ____34____ in 1999.
On May 17, Sakolsky received the good news over the phone. Knowing his donation had helped create a huge green forest on the former desert, he expressed his great excitement. He said he was eager to make a trip to China as soon as possible and see the amazing green ____35____ with his own eyes.
The cross-cultural story tells a truth that each small act of kindness would make a huge difference in our daily life.

Long sleep duration ____39____ (associate) with chronic inflammation, depression, obstructive sleep apnoea, and reduced physical activity. Clinical observations also show that people, ____40____ regularly sleep less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours, tend to have ____41____ (high) risks of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and mortality.

Another winter season had almost passed in a flash. Time was flying. I was back in Lisbon last weekend. When I woke up on Sunday morning, I saw the roofs shining brightly in the morning sunshine, just like setting the pale blue sky on fire. My heart beat much faster with excitement as I started to plan the day ahead and replied to my friend Sofia.
After a delicious breakfast at the hostel, I thought about all the places I could visit, wandering aimlessly through Alfama, taking the vehicle up to the Castle, or appreciating the remarkable sunset in Lisbon.
But the moment I stepped outside, the sky suddenly darkened with the black clouds. I had barely walked a few steps when the rain began to pour down. I gave up immediately and went back to my hostel room. As the rain kept falling, I spent a few lazy hours lying on my bed, scrolling through my phone.
Before I knew it, it was already 2:30 p.m.. Hungry, I went back outside on the empty street against the light rain. Soon, I stepped into a small cafe, an old favourite of mine. Their soup was good, and they made an amazing dessert — thinly cut pork, baked and placed neatly inside a fresh bread roll. As I took a bite of the tasty pork and had a sip of soup, my mood suddenly lifted. Then, I walked out with a spring in my step.
The rain was still falling outside. Nearly wet through, I wandered aimlessly without a plan but a heart full of boredom. Then I suddenly came across a coffee shop called Fabrika, where some regular customers roasted their own coffee casually. A small sign reads: “We have no WiFi. Enjoy your coffee.” I ordered one and sat on one of their leather sofas. However, the lack of WiFi didn’t stop the customers from scrolling their phones — some were addicted to the screens and others were doing selfies (自拍) to gain the sense of belonging — and I was no different. We usually preferred not to share boring moment — only sunset photos and perfect pictures. We chased likes and followers, as if our happiness were measured by them.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Roughly an hour later, a message came from Sofia.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Just then, Sofia sent another message: “Maybe the rain is not a bad thing. Sometimes we need days like this.”

Sportcation: A New Weekend Trend in China
When the Start of Summer (li xia) began on May 5, outdoor activities saw a sharp rise. A new travel model called “sportcation” — combining fitness, leisure, and social interaction — has gained popularity in China. Unlike traditional tourism, sportcation focuses on active experiences rather than sightseeing alone.
Growing Search and Booking Interest
The 2026 Sportcation Travel Trend Report shows that as of May 15, searches for activities like river tracing, hiking, cycling, and rock climbing increased by over 180% month-on-month. Two-to-three-day trips have seen the greatest booking interest, especially for weekend getaways. Many travel packages now include guided tours and equipment rental.
Who Is Going?
Known as “high-energy friendly travel” by Chinese netizens, sportcation has become a favorite choice for weekend getaways. While travelers aged 20 to 35 make up the main group, people around 55 are also joining the trend. Popular destinations include Zhejiang, Hainan, Anhui, and Guangdong provinces, each offering unique natural landscapes for outdoor activities.
Top Activity Choices
Hiking is among the top choices, with ancient trails and mountain hikes offering stunning views. Tropical rainforests are another ideal spot. For example, the Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Zone in Hainan provides stream hiking and will add rafting this summer. Such activities allow visitors to enjoy nature while staying physically active.

The world is a beautiful place filled with all kinds of exciting adventures. Some extreme adventures are far out of reach for ordinary people, especially for those with physical disabilities. However, Project Airtime, a famous nonprofit organization based in Utah, is devoting itself to making the dream of flying accessible to every special person in need.
Chris Santacroce has been an outdoor sports lover since he was young. He worked as a full-time professional paraglider (滑翔伞运动员) starting from 1992. He earned precious chances to travel across the world and even became a signed athlete of Red Bull. Unfortunately, a sudden spinal cord (脊髓) injury ruined his adventurous life overnight. He had to rely on a wheelchair and lost the ability to do what he loved most. Though he eventually recovered completely, this unforgettable experience greatly changed his values and life goals. He changed his mindset from showing off his own strength to serving others selflessly. “I once chased my own glory in the sky, but now I want to light up others’ dreams,” Chris said.
It is this kind and generous thought that inspired Chris to found Project Airtime. The organization helps different groups of people, including brain injury patients, senior citizens and disabled veterans (退伍军人). All of them hold a sincere desire to break physical limits and soar in the blue sky.
Joe Stone is a typical and inspiring beneficiary of the project. In 2010, a terrible flying accident left him quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者). He suffered huge physical pain and endless difficulties in life, but he was tough, optimistic and never surrendered to his fate. He finished crossing famous mountain roads by hand-cranked bicycles and even became a quadriplegic Ironman triathlete. After realizing his flying dream with the help of the project, the warm-hearted Joe chose to pass on love. He now works as a task supervisor and trainer, devoting his spare time to helping more disabled people chase their dreams. “Disability limits my body, but never limits my courage to fly,” Joe shared.
For Chris and his team, the project is never just about a sport. It offers hope and courage to those who are trapped by physical disabilities.
4. What made Chris build Project Airtime?
A. His dream of being a professional coach. B. His recovery from a terrible injury.
C. His wish to help others realize flying dreams. D. His experience of competing worldwide.
5. What does the underlined word “beneficiary” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. People who get help. B. People who offer support.
C. People who train athletes. D. People who design projects.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Joe Stone?
A. Humorous and strict. B. Tough and warm-hearted.
C. Cautious and creative. D. Modest and talkative.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Two paragliders’ adventurous life experiences.
B. How physical disabilities influence people’s life.
C. The development of a special flying sport project.
D. A nonprofit helps disabled people fly and gain hope.

Maintaining a healthy weight depends not only on food choices but also on meal timing, according to a five-year study carried out by Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). The study confirmed that two eating patterns are helpful to cut BMI (身体质量指数): lengthening overnight fasting (禁食) and having breakfast early.
The research collected data from over 7,000 adults aged 40-65. Researchers recorded participants’ height, weight, eating schedule, lifestyle habits and socioeconomic background via questionnaires in 2018. Five years later, in 2023, more than 3,000 of these individuals returned for subsequent (后续的) assessments. Researchers recorded updated measurements and collected new survey data, allowing them to track changes and identify patterns over time.
Scientists explain early eating matches human circadian rhythms (生理昼夜节律), improving calorie consumption and appetite control. Yet the study also finds a key misunderstanding among dieters: skipping breakfast for occasional fasting brings no weight-loss benefits and closely links to unhealthy living habits like heavy smoking and lack of movement for some adult men.
Further group analysis based on cluster analysis (聚类分析) shows clear gender gaps in diet and lifestyle. Females generally keep lower BMI with stricter Mediterranean diet rules and far less alcohol intake in daily life. At the same time, they reported poorer mental health and were more often responsible for household or family supervision. On the contrary, a small group of late-first-meal males tend to smoke heavily, drink frequently and take almost no regular physical exercise, with lower education levels and higher rates of unemployment as well.
The research belongs to chrononutrition, a rising field focusing on eating timing besides food types. Past related studies have also found early breakfast and dinner lower risks of heart disease and diabetes, proving meal schedule matters greatly to long-term physical health.
8. What is the core finding of the study?
A. What people eat matters more than eating time.
B. Proper meal timing helps people control weight.
C. Skipping breakfast is the best way to lose extra weight.
D. Healthy diet works equally well for men and women.
9. How did researchers finish their five-year survey?
A. By investigating participants’ eating schedules.
B. By dividing adults into two fixed eating groups.
C. By using updated measurements as the only source.
D. By gathering questionnaires and doing follow-up evaluations.
10. What can we learn about irregular fasting without breakfast?
A. It helps most females lose weight quickly. B. It can effectively prevent serious diabetes.
C. It is strongly suggested by medical experts. D. It produces no obvious weight-losing effect.
11. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Lower education is the main cause of men’s unhealthy diets.
B. Housework pressure makes all women refuse to take exercise.
C. Men eating their first meal late face multiple poor lifestyle risks.
D. Women’s good eating habits fully guarantee sound mental health.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】

In our digital age, many things fight for our attention: phone buzzes, social media, endless emails and content. Real stillness — when our mind can wander freely — has become rare. Technology is part of work, education, and relationships. Not participating feels to many like nonexistence. Platforms promise endless choices and self-expression, but this promise is deceptive. What appears as freedom masks a subtle pressure: distraction, visibility, and engagement become obligations.
For people who want to step out of this loop, a possible answer came from a thinker most people wouldn’t expect to help us with TikTok era problems: the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. He believed that modern technology is not just a collection of tools, but a way of seeing the world as a resource — including our own minds and bodies. Digital culture values speed, visibility, algorithms, and creating content all the time. Life starts to act like a social media feed: always updating, always “now,” and unable to stand slowness or silence. This harms deep thinking, making us unable to enjoy silence or face empty moments.
When moments of silence or emptiness arise, we instinctively look to others — not for real connection, but to flee from boredom and fill the nothingness with distraction. However, for Heidegger, profound boredom is not merely a psychological state but privileged mood in which the everyday world begins to withdraw. In his lectures, he described boredom as a basic state in which the world becomes strangely indifferent to us. In that state, we see life as a whole. Boredom is not an absence but a threshold — a condition for thinking, wonder, and the emergence of meaning. If we never allow ourselves to be bored, we never truly allow ourselves to be who we are.
Digital distractions stop us from entering this important state. We turn our restlessness into scrolling, which only creates more scrolling. Rediscovering boredom is not about wasting time. It is about getting back the conditions for thought, depth, and being true to ourselves. The unstructured moment and the quiet pause are not failures — they are necessary for a full life.
12. How does the author introduce the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting previous research. B. By defining a key concept.
C. By describing common experiences. D. By making a striking contrast.
13. According to Heidegger, what is the role of boredom?
A. It is a psychological disorder to be avoided. B. It fosters genuine thought and insight.
C. It results from too much digital distraction. D. It is something people instinctively escape from.
14. What does the author suggest at the end of the passage?
A. We should completely reject digital technology.
B. We need to spend more time on social media.
C. We should rediscover boredom as a path to authenticity.
D. We must learn to fill every silent moment with content.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Fighting Distraction: A Battle We Keep Losing.
B. Following Heidegger: A Way to Escape from Digital Overload.
C. Losing Stillness: The Real Price of Constant Connection.
D. Embracing Boredom: The Unexpected Path to Being Ourselves.

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。
In today’s fast-paced digital environment, multitasking has become a badge of honor. Students pride themselves on texting while studying, professionals attend meetings while responding to emails, and parents cook dinner while helping with homework. ____16____ In fact, decades of cognitive science research have consistently demonstrated that what we call multitasking is a neurological illusion.
The human brain is not wired for parallel processing of multiple attention-demanding tasks. Instead, what actually occurs is rapid task-switching — the brain shifts its focus back and forth between activities at remarkable speed. ____17____ Each switch causes a “switching cost”: a brief period of confusion and reduced performance that accumulates over time.
This switching cost has measurable consequences. Studies using functional MRI scans reveal that when the brain toggles between tasks, multiple regions must repeatedly adjust themselves, consuming glucose (葡萄糖) and depleting cognitive resources. These effects include mental fatigue, increased error rates, and a significant extension of total completion time — often by as much as 40% compared to single-tasking. ___18___
Perhaps more disturbing is the impact on deep learning. ____19____ When we constantly divide our attention, information is processed superficially and stored in temporary, fragile memory systems. This explains why students who study while distracted often feel they have “covered” the material but perform poorly on assessments that require genuine comprehension.
____20____ This means not in eliminating all distractions — an unrealistic goal — but in deliberately structuring periods of uninterrupted focus. By protecting these focused sessions, we allow our brains to engage in the deep processing necessary for true understanding and creativity. The most productive individuals are not those who do many things at once, but those who do one thing at a time, with full presence.
A. This phenomenon, known as “attention residue”, occurs when part of your focus remains stuck on the previous task.
B. Yet this widespread belief in the efficiency of multitasking is fundamentally misguided.
C. This phenomenon is particularly problematic when the previous task is cognitively demanding or emotionally engaging.
D. Consequently, the quality of learning suffers dramatically.
E. To counteract these negative effects, researchers advocate for the deliberate practice of “monotasking.”
F. This process, though seemingly seamless, comes at a significant cognitive price.
G. However, this does not mean that all forms of multitasking are equally harmful.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. E

Students pride themselves on texting while studying, professionals attend meetings while responding to emails, and parents cook dinner while helping with homework.(在当今快节奏的数字环境中,多任务处理已成为一种荣誉徽章。学生以边学习边发短信为荣,专业人士边开会边回复邮件,父母边做饭边辅导作业)”描述了多任务处理被视为值得骄傲的能力,B选项“Yet this widespread belief in the efficiency of multitasking is fundamentally misguided.(然而,这种对多任务处理效率的普遍信念从根本上说是被误导的)”与上文构成转折关系,指出这种普遍认知是错误的;下文“In fact, decades of cognitive science research have consistently demonstrated that what we call multitasking is a neurological illusion.(事实上,数十年的认知科学研究一直表明,我们所谓的多任务处理是一种神经学上的错觉)”进一步支持了B选项的观点,用科学研究证明多任务处理只是错觉,上下文语意连贯。
【17题详解】
上文“Instead, what actually occurs is rapid task-switching — the brain shifts its focus back and forth between activities at remarkable speed.(相反,实际发生的是快速任务切换——大脑在活动之间以惊人的速度来回切换注意力)”解释了多任务的本质是任务切换,F选项“This process, though seemingly seamless, comes at a significant cognitive price.(这个过程虽然看似无缝,却付出了巨大的认知代价)”承接上文,指出任务切换是有代价的;下文“Each switch causes a “switching cost”: a brief period of confusion and reduced performance that accumulates over time.(每次切换都会产生“切换成本”:短暂的困惑期和表现下降,这种影响会随着时间累积)”具体解释了“认知代价”的表现形式,与F选项中的“cognitive price”直接呼应,上下文逻辑连贯。
【18题详解】
上文“These effects include mental fatigue, increased error rates, and a significant extension of total completion time — often by as much as 40% compared to single-tasking.(这些影响包括精神疲劳、错误率增加以及总完成时间显著延长——与单一任务相比通常延长多达40%)”列举了切换成本带来的具体后果,D选项“Consequently, the quality of learning suffers dramatically.(因此,学习质量受到严重影响)”承接上文,总结了这些后果最终造成的负面影响:学习质量的下降,上下文逻辑连贯。
【19题详解】
上文“Perhaps more disturbing is the impact on deep learning.(也许更令人不安的是对深度学习的影响)”提出了对深度学习的负面影响,A选项“This phenomenon, known as “attention residue”, occurs when part of your focus remains stuck on the previous task.(这种现象被称为“注意力残留”,当部分注意力仍停留在前一项任务时就会发生)”承接上文,引入“注意力残留”这一概念来解释深度学习受影响的原因——因为部分注意力还停留在之前的任务上;下文“When we constantly divide our attention, information is processed superficially and stored in temporary, fragile memory systems.(当我们不断分散注意力时,信息被表面化地处理,并存储在临时、脆弱的记忆系统中)”具体说明了注意力分散如何影响信息处理的过程,与A选项中的“attention residue”相呼应,上下文语意连贯。
【20题详解】
下文“This means not in eliminating all distractions — an unrealistic goal — but in deliberately structuring periods of uninterrupted focus.(这意味着不是消除所有干扰——这是一个不现实的目标——而是刻意安排不受打扰的专注时段)”具体说明了应对多任务负面影响的方法。E选项“To counteract these negative effects, researchers advocate for the deliberate practice of “monotasking.”(为了抵消这些负面影响,研究人员提倡刻意练习“单任务处理”)”引出下文,指出应对策略——单任务练习;下文具体解释了单任务练习的核心——刻意安排专注时段,与E选项中的“deliberate practice of “monotasking””直接呼应,上下文语意连贯。

AI Promotes Our Learning

【答案】
AI Promotes Our Learning
Nowadays, artificial intelligence has become a powerful tool in our studies, which has greatly improved our learning efficiency and accessibility. Many students use AI apps to check grammar, translate texts, or even get personalized learning suggestions. For example, AI can quickly analyze our weak points in math or English and recommend suitable exercises.
In my view, AI brings great convenience and efficiency to learning. It helps us save time and encourages self-paced study. However, we should use it wisely — not as a shortcut to avoid thinking, but as a helper to deepen understanding. As long as we remain critical and reflective in our approach, AI can truly unlock our learning potential.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据文章的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。
Another winter season had almost passed in a flash. Time was flying. I was back in Lisbon last weekend. When I woke up on Sunday morning, I saw the roofs shining brightly in the morning sunshine, just like setting the pale blue sky on fire. My heart beat much faster with excitement as I started to plan the day ahead and replied to my friend Sofia.
After a delicious breakfast at the hostel, I thought about all the places I could visit, wandering aimlessly through Alfama, taking the vehicle up to the Castle, or appreciating the remarkable sunset in Lisbon.
But the moment I stepped outside, the sky suddenly darkened with the black clouds. I had barely walked a few steps when the rain began to pour down. I gave up immediately and went back to my hostel room. As the rain kept falling, I spent a few lazy hours lying on my bed, scrolling through my phone.
Before I knew it, it was already 2:30 p.m.. Hungry, I went back outside on the empty street against the light rain. Soon, I stepped into a small cafe, an old favourite of mine. Their soup was good, and they made an amazing dessert — thinly cut pork, baked and placed neatly inside a fresh bread roll. As I took a bite of the tasty pork and had a sip of soup, my mood suddenly lifted. Then, I walked out with a spring in my step.
The rain was still falling outside. Nearly wet through, I wandered aimlessly without a plan but a heart full of boredom. Then I suddenly came across a coffee shop called Fabrika, where some regular customers roasted their own coffee casually. A small sign reads: “We have no WiFi. Enjoy your coffee.” I ordered one and sat on one of their leather sofas. However, the lack of WiFi didn’t stop the customers from scrolling their phones — some were addicted to the screens and others were doing selfies (自拍) to gain the sense of belonging — and I was no different. We usually preferred not to share boring moment — only sunset photos and perfect pictures. We chased likes and followers, as if our happiness were measured by them.

Paragraph 1: Roughly an hour later, a message came from Sofia.

Paragraph 2: Just then, Sofia sent another message: “Maybe the rain is not a bad thing. Sometimes we need days like this.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Roughly an hour later, a message came from Sofia. She asked how my day in Lisbon was going and whether I had enjoyed the beautiful scenery I had looked forward to. Staring at the rainy street outside the window, I typed back lazily, complaining that the sudden rain had ruined all my plans and left my day dull and meaningless. I told her I had wasted half the day staring at my phone, chasing empty likes like most people around me. A sense of emptiness flooded my heart, making me feel even more bored and disappointed with the rainy day.
Just then, Sofia sent another message: “Maybe the rain is not a bad thing. Sometimes we need days like this.” Her words struck me instantly. I put down my phone and looked around the quiet coffee shop. Free from the noise of social media and tight travel plans, I finally calmed down and truly felt the warmth of the coffee, the soft sound of rain and the peaceful atmosphere of the street. For the first time in a long while, I savored a slow, genuine moment, realizing true happiness never lies in perfect photos or others’ praise, but in feeling life with my own heart.
