In 2012, he graduated from university and later began working at a bank. However, getting used to life in the southern city was tough. “It was difficult to manage food, language and social customs. I could hardly fit into the local community,” Vijay said. At that time, he would explore nearby forests and mountains for peace. At 23, Vijay left his job to start AdvenThrill, an adventure travel company. He knew that understanding the technicalities of trekking (远足的技术性细节) would be important, so he completed a mountaineering course at the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering. Over time, he built a network of trained trekking leaders. Trekkers are advised to follow a 20-day fitness plan at home before a trek. “Anyone can apply, but they must provide medical test reports,” Vijay said. The reports are checked before booking. “That’s why we only accept sign-ups a month in advance to ensure there’s enough time to review their physical condition,” Vijay explained. “Before the trek begins, we also conduct medical examinations every day to track blood pressure and other vital signs (生命体征). If anyone is found unfit, they are cared for at the base camp.” Looking ahead, Vijay wants to open new unexplored trekking paths. “It’s a slow process, requiring better GPS mapping and more field research, but it could reshape the trekking landscape of India. If the right safety measures and infrastructure (基础设施) are put in place, we can attract more international trekkers,” Vijay said. 1．What made life challenging for Vijay when he worked at the bank? A．The lifestyle differences. B．The few outdoor activities. C．The city's weather conditions. D．The working hours at the bank. 2．Why did Vijay complete the mountaineering course? A．To improve his physical fitness. B．To learn skills for his business. C．To become a famous mountaineer. D．To teach higher-level trekking skills. 3．How does AdvenThrill ensure trekking safety? A．By asking international guides for help. B．By controlling the number of trekkers. C．By setting strict requirements. D．By conducting daily training. 4．What can be inferred from Vijay’s words in the last paragraph? A．He will work for Indian infrastructure soon. B．New trekking paths have become easier to open in India. C．He thinks that GPS mapping is more important than field research. D．Better safety measures may help India draw more foreign trekkers. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．An Indian started a travel company and makes trekking safe. B．There are some new unexplored trekking paths in India. C．Trekking is a fun sport that many people in India enjoy. D．It's hard to get used to local life in a new city. What do you want to be when you grow up? A study shows that more than 80% of children want to choose jobs they often see around them, like doctors and teachers—with teachers topping the list of kids’ dream jobs. But jobs such as cartoonists appear in less than 7% of their answers. This “visibility bias” holds back our imagination—we often overlook (忽视) jobs hidden outside our daily lives. Choosing a career (职业) is important because it needs to bring both income (收入) and job satisfaction (满足感). If you don’t enjoy your job, your life won’t be as happy as you wish it to be. Try looking into different possibilities! Your dream job might be something you’ve never heard of before. How can you start? First, think about your interests and strengths. These will help shape your future work. If numbers excite you, maybe you can be a scientist. If storytelling comes naturally, writing or filmmaking could be your path. And remember to talk to teachers, parents and friends. They can share ideas about different jobs. Also, think about future trends (趋势). Many jobs today, like website builders, weren’t around 50 years ago. New jobs, like AI ethics advisors (伦理顾问) might appear when you grow up. So, besides learning school subjects, you should develop skills like creativity and critical thinking. You don’t have to wait to plan. Join clubs, read books, or watch videos about different jobs. Remember: big dreams start with small actions. Whether you want to change the world or find happiness, planning today will help you reach your dreams tomorrow! 1．What does the underlined phrase “visibility bias” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．A habit of only choosing jobs that pay a lot of money. B．A way of only noticing jobs that are often seen in daily life. C．A problem of forgetting about jobs one has heard of before. D．A mistake of thinking some jobs are easier than others. 2．Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A．①/②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④/⑤ C．①②/③/④/⑤ D．①/②/③/④⑤ 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Most kids dream of becoming cartoonists because they are creative. B．Job satisfaction is more important than income when choosing a career. C．New jobs like website builders will disappear in the near future. D．We should think about our interests and future trends when planning a career. Once a single advertisement is stuck on a clean door, people will keep sticking more until the whole door is ruined, while a door without any advertisements usually stays clean for a long time. This interesting but worrying phenomenon (现象) in our daily life is a perfect example of what we call the “Broken Window Theory”. The theory comes from an experiment done by a famous American psychologist named Philip Zimbardo in 1969. He left two identical cars in different neighborhoods, one of them with a broken window. To his surprise, the car with the broken window was quickly destroyed and stolen by people passing by, while the other car remained untouched for over a week. This shows that signs of disorder or neglect (忽视) can easily encourage further bad behavior. This theory explains many problems. For instance, if a piece of litter is left on the sidewalk and nobody cleans it up, passers-by will soon think it is acceptable to throw more rubbish. Similarly, if a student begins to call someone names or use smartphones during class without being stopped, others will follow, which eventually destroys the learning environment. Another example is bullying; if mockery (嘲弄) is not corrected immediately early on, it may grow into serious school bullying. Thomas Lickona, a famous American education expert, once noted that schools which fail to fix early bad behaviors are actually opening the door to bigger problems. Therefore, teachers must set clear rules from the very beginning and stop any small misbehavior before it turns into a bigger trouble. Meanwhile, students should develop self-discipline and have the courage to say “no” to bad habits, making sure they do not become the person who breaks the first window. 1．Why is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1? A．To show the effect of the “Broken Window Theory” on readers. B．To show the importance of learning about the “Broken Window Theory”. C．To help readers better understand the “Broken Window Theory”. D．To help readers deal with phenomena related to the “Broken Window Theory”. 2．What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．clean B．expensive C．private D．similar 3．What may happen after a desk in the classroom becomes messy? A．Students may clean up the messy desk quickly. B．More students may leave their desks in a mess. C．The teacher may ask the student to clean the desk. D．The student’s grades may drop unexpectedly. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Bullying becomes serious because small misbehavior is neglected. B．Sidewalks become dirty because no cleaners clean them up. C．The car was stolen because it was left out for a long time. D．Learning environment was destroyed because of smartphones. 5．What advice is given to students? A．Stopping bad behaviors. B．Fighting back against bullying. C．Refusing to follow bad behaviors. D．Obeying school rules. As teenagers, we often face a lot of problems. One of the common problems is about our studies. We may find it hard to focus on our lessons. There is so much homework and so many exams that we feel stressed. Sometimes, we may not get good grades, which makes us disappointed. Another problem is about our relationships with our parents and friends. We may have arguments with our parents because they don’t understand us. They always tell us to study hard and don’t give us enough freedom. With friends, we may have misunderstandings. We may feel lonely if we don’t get along well with them. Also, many teenagers care about their looks. They may worry about being too fat or too thin. They may try different ways to lose weight or gain weight, which sometimes is not good for their health. However, we can do something to solve these problems. For study problems, we can make a study plan and manage our time better. We can also ask teachers and classmates for help. When it comes to relationship problems, we should communicate more with our parents and friends. Let them know our feelings and listen to their opinions. About our looks, we should remember that health is more important than appearance. We should eat a balanced diet and do regular exercise. 1．What is one of the common problems for teenagers according to the passage? A．They don’t like their parents. B．They can’t get enough sleep. C．They find it hard to focus on studies. D．They don’t have enough money. 2．Why do teenagers have arguments with their parents? A．Because parents don’t give them enough money. B．Because parents don’t understand them. C．Because parents don’t allow them to go out at night. D．Because parents always compare them with others. 3．What do many teenagers worry about? A．Their looks. B．Their jobs. C．Their future. D．Their neighbors. 4．How can teenagers solve study problems? A．By playing more games. B．By watching more TV. C．By making a study plan. D．By sleeping more. 5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Teenagers feel stressed only because of too many exams. B．There is no way to solve the mentioned problems for teenagers. C．Teenagers should care more about health than appearance. D．When having relationship problems, teenagers should avoid communicating with others. Josie, who is 17 years old, said, “Why do my parents do the same things they tell me not to do? For example, my mum stops me from shouting through the walls and asks me to go and speak to her face-to-face, but she always shouts through the walls to me. What can I do?” That is a very good point. Parents can be completely inconsistent (不一致), and usually they don’t realize it. You see this a lot in many things like smartphones. Parents always say to their kids, “Oh, you can’t use that. It is bad for you, so stop using it at the table.” But then they are on theirs continually. So what do you expect teenagers to do? The whole “Do as I say, not as I do” thing is an annoyance, especially for a teenager who is dying for independence and respect but isn’t getting them. What can teenagers do with it? I would say you should point it out by calmly saying something like “You tell me not to scream through the walls, but you do it to me, so you can understand where I’m coming from. That’s not ideal.” They might object to (反对) it, but I think most parents who care about being parents would logically say, “That’s a reasonable point.” There are a lot of conflicts (矛盾) going on between teenagers and their parents, but a lot of studies show that the conflicts are resolved a lot more when they turn into a dialogue. If you can talk at a time when you’ re both feeling a bit calmer, like just in the kitchen or doing something unimportant, then go in and say, “Can I just mention it? You tell me not to do this, but you do it too.” If you can say it in a more calm and stress-free manner, most parents will respond positively. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1? A．Josie agrees with what her mum does. B．Josie likes doing what her mum does. C．Josie can’t understand what her mum does. D．Josie always shouts through the walls like her mum. 2．What does the underlined word “theirs” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The parents’ smartphones. B．The tables in the house. C．The devices in the house. D．The teenagers’ points. 3．What should teenagers do with their parents’ disagreement? A．Object to it personally. B．Complain of it continually. C．Talk with their parents calmly. D．Do some studies differently. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A．To list a fact. B．To offer a suggestion. C．To show a result. D．To ask a new question. On a basketball court, Memettursunjan Erkin quickly ran past his opponent (对手), turned around, and threw a perfect pass to his teammate.Small in size, he didn’t stand out at first glance—until someone noticed his prosthetic (假体的) leg. Born in 2013 in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Memettursunjan came into the world missing part of his right leg.As a child, he often stayed by the window, watching other children run and play.“Walking on a prosthetic leg was hard, so I usually stayed at home,” he explained. Everything changed when Memettursunjan was six.He watched a video of NBA star Stephen Curry, who wasn’t the tallest or the strongest player, but was fearless and skillful.The video deeply inspired him. However, the basketball court was ruthless (无情的).“I couldn’t beat anyone,” Memettursunjan recalled.“I even thought about giving up.” But he didn’t. “I cried at night, but the next morning, I told myself: real men don’t quit.” He hung a simple basketball hoop (篮球筐) on a tree outside his home and practised for hours every day. He learned to play smarter: if he couldn’t run faster than others, he could focus on improving his skills;if he couldn’t jump very high, he could pass the ball really well. His hard work paid off.He got into the school team, not because of others’ pity for him, but because of his perseverance (毅力) and skills. Now, Memettursunjan has found not only confidence, but also friendship.“Basketball gives me something more than a game,” he said.“It has helped me find myself.” 1．How did the writer start the passage? A．By describing a scene. B．By comparing two people. C．By introducing a problem. D．By giving a definition. 2．What did Memettursunjan usually do when he was a child? A． B． C． D． 3．What was the key to his improvement? A．Relying on his speed. B．Focusing on smart skills. C．Practising jumping higher. D．Getting a new prosthetic leg. 4．Which saying best describes Memettursunjan’s story? A．Time is money. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．Where there is a will, there is a way. Have you heard of the saying “If you fall off the horse, get back on.”? It means that things may get difficult, and you may make many mistakes. But you should have the passion (激情) and energy to keep going. This is called perseverance (毅力). It can help you get a lot of things. Perseverance means keeping doing something for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or difficult. For example, you practise a trick on your bike again and again. Or you finish a picture without giving up. These show perseverance. Florence, a 13-year-old girl, says, “It means never giving up and trying hard to push yourself. I go running with my mum three times a week. Sometimes I feel good and sometimes I don’t. But I still do it because I want to be the fastest in my class. Whether in good situations or bad ones, we need perseverance.” Studies show that when you feel hopeful and work for a goal you really want, it can reduce (减轻) stress and make you feel happier. When you get something you worked hard for and face difficulties on the way, it can develop your confidence (自信) and make you feel braver to try new things. Angela Duckworth is an expert on people’s thoughts and feelings. She studies perseverance and calls it “grit”. She thinks that having grit is really important for us to succeed. She says, “No matter how talented you are at something or how well you do in school, you must have grit. When things are hard, perseverance is even more important. It can help you get past the hard times and reach your goals.” Duckworth believes perseverance is something anyone can learn. The best way to learn it is to have a growth mind. This means believing that your brain can grow. You can get anything if you put your mind to it. As the book The Big Life Journal says, “People with a growth idea know they can get better by working hard. They keep trying even when things are difficult.” 1．Why does the writer take Florence for example in Paragraph 2? A．To introduce what perseverance means. B．To talk about how to train running skills. C．To present the advantages of perseverance. D．To show the importance of staying with parents. 2．According to the passage, what can help us reduce stress? A．Developing talents through mistakes. B．Building confidence in hard situations. C．Trying hard for our dreams with hope. D．Keeping doing things without thinking. 3．What does the underlined word “grit” mean? A．A big success. B．A strong will. C．Great pride. D．Top talent. 4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．The Power of Perseverance B．The Tips to Reach the Goals C．The Ways to Solve Problems D．The Meaning of Thinking Habits On August 16, 2025, Pang Zhongwang, a doctoral student from Tsinghua University, won the “Touching China 2024” Award. His story, from a young man who fights against heavy hardships (困难) to an encouraging character, has warmed many hearts.    Born with great challenges, Pang lived a hard life when he was a child. His father had a serious mental illness. His mother’s legs were cut off, so she could hardly move. Pang himself had a heart problem since he was born. He went door-to-door borrowing money for his mother’s illness. He also picked up waste things to make money and help pay off his family’s debts (债务). However, he never lost hope. He always believed “Knowledge can change life”.     In 2017, Pang entered Tsinghua University with a very high score in the college entrance exam. At first, he was worried that he might let others down. But later, he found his interest in scientific research. He kept trying even when he failed many times. Although money was still the problem, he decided to depend on himself. That’s why he said no to people who raised money for him. Instead, he asked Tsinghua University for grants (补助金) and won the prizes for good grades. His mother named him “Zhongwang”, which means “the hope of everyone”. She always told him to look forward to the future. Pang once said, “Mom smiles every day—why should I feel sad?” Sadly, his mother passed away in 2020. That was just before he got the chance to study for a doctor’s degree at Tsinghua University. Now, Pang has written many important science papers and got patents (专利) for his inventions. His dream is to “serve the country through scientific research” and he works hard for this goal. His story lights the way for many people. As the award speech says, “You leave your hard times behind. You face life with a smile and move forward strongly.” Pang’s journey shows us that if we are strong and keep hope, we can live up to expectations and create our own bright future. 1．How did Pang Zhongwang make money as a child? A．By working in the factory. B．By selling newspapers. C．By picking up waste things. D．By washing cars for others. 2．Why did Pang Zhongwang refuse the money from other people after he entered university? A．Because he was afraid of being laughed at.

He asked him,“What’s the matter, son?” The young boy replied,“My rich classmates called me ‘the son of a gardener’. They said that my father lives on the money he earns from watering and feeding plants.” The father stopped for a moment and then said,“Let’s carry out an experiment.” He held his son’s hand and walked him to the garden. Then he took out two flower seeds and said,“We will plant a flower separately. I’ll care for one and water it with clean water while you’ll care for the other and water yours with dirty water. We shall see the results in a few weeks.” As the boy joined his father in planting the flowers, it took them some days to finally germinate (使发芽) the flower seeds.“Look at the two flowers. What can you see?” the father said. The boy said,“My flower looks better and healthier than yours. How is that possible when your water is cleaner?” The father smiled,“That’s because the dirty water doesn’t stop a plant from growing but rather serves as organic fertilizer (有机肥料) to help it grow. You see, there are some people who put you down in life and mock (嘲笑) your dreams. Always remember that there’s nothing wrong with you. Don’t let the unkind words upset you. Instead, let them encourage you to be a better person, so you will be like the plant and will grow well even in the dirt.” 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

D．A lotus flower grows in the mud without becoming unclean. When you finally finish your homework and get to relax, what do you do? Do you lie on your bed and scroll (滚屏) through your phone? Many people find that this kind of entertainment only brings boredom and emptiness (空虚). Opposite to what many people may think, play isn’t just a waste of time. Having the ability to play and relax meaningfully during your leisure time is important. “Leisure doesn’t improve quality of life unless one knows how to use it effectively (有效地),” James Wallman, the writer of Time and How to Spend It, told CNBC Make It, explaining that some experiences are “junk experiences” while others are like “superfoods” . The “superfood” activities put you into a state of “flow”, which is “about being in the present zone [and] really enjoying yourself”, added Wallman. Any pleasurable activity that truly challenges us has the potential (潜力) to lead to the flow-state. These “superfoods” help you achieve a higher “leisure quotient” (LQ, 玩商). LQ is an index (指数) used to describe one’s ability to relax and play. A high LQ usually means that a person has good control over their life, knows how to develop their potential and keeps a balanced lifestyle that makes them healthier and happier, according to China Daily. Psychological (心理学的) research shows that people with high LQ scores feel happier and generally avoid depression (抑郁) and other mental illnesses. Meanwhile, Kenichi Ohmae, a Japanese management expert, points out that those who can play will succeed. Instead of doing passive (被动的) activities like scrolling through short videos, people with high LQ scores actively choose activities that suit their interests and strengths, giving them continuous positive feedback. According to Wallman, examples of this positive feedback include: a memorable story you can share with others; a new skill or a different world view; more experience with the real world; and improved relationships or a higher social status. The next time you find yourself bored with nothing to do, try doing some experiences that could benefit you or add to your life. It’s never too late to improve your LQ! 1．According to James Wallman, what are “superfood” activities? A．Activities that are free and easy to do. B．Activities that don’t require much effort. C．Activities that make you feel bored and empty. D．Activities that are both enjoyable and challenging. 2．What does the LQ index describe? A．The ability to balance work and life. B．The potential to lead a successful life. C．The ability to play and relax. D．The ability to manage difficult conditions. 3．What do people with high LQ scores do? A．They passively wait for activities to be assigned B．They spend much of their time outdoors. C．They are good at managing their work time. D．They choose activities that match their potential. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Getting to relax after homework is a “junk experience” . B．Activities with positive feedback help to improve our LQ. C．Activities with passive feedback may improve quality of life. D．LQ index helps people avoid depression and mental illnesses. ①On Sept. 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. ②Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves. ③“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth,” Fan told Gansu Daily. ④Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals (壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan’s team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology. ⑤As time passed. Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. Something needed to be done to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage. ⑥In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world. ⑦“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” 1．How old was Fan Jinshi when she started working in the caves? A．25. B．30. C．60. D．85. 2．What may people think of working in Dunhuang in 1963? A．Convenient. B．Relaxing. C．Boring. D．Difficult. 3．How does computer technology protect the Mogao Caves according to Para. 6? A．People can admire the Mogao Caves on the Internet. B．People can buy tickets easily to enter the Mogao Caves. C．It can help people do research on the Mogao Caves. D．It can remind people not to harm the Mogao Caves. 4．What’s the purpose of writing the passage? A．To encourage tourists to travel to Dunhuang. B．To praise Fan for her achievements in Dunhuang. C．To show readers the beauty of the Mogao Caves. D．To ask people to protect the Mogao Caves together. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之阅读理解12篇 （Units1-4单元话题） 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 Know yourself 了解自我，工作与职业 Unit 2 Teenage problems 青少年问题 Unit 3 Never give up 永不言弃 Unit 4 Life is beautiful 美丽的人生，乐观生活 本资料共12篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应3篇单元话题专题训练 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 What kind of person are you?

In 2012, he graduated from university and later began working at a bank. However, getting used to life in the southern city was tough. “It was difficult to manage food, language and social customs. I could hardly fit into the local community,” Vijay said. At that time, he would explore nearby forests and mountains for peace. At 23, Vijay left his job to start AdvenThrill, an adventure travel company. He knew that understanding the technicalities of trekking (远足的技术性细节) would be important, so he completed a mountaineering course at the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering. Over time, he built a network of trained trekking leaders. Trekkers are advised to follow a 20-day fitness plan at home before a trek. “Anyone can apply, but they must provide medical test reports,” Vijay said. The reports are checked before booking. “That’s why we only accept sign-ups a month in advance to ensure there’s enough time to review their physical condition,” Vijay explained. “Before the trek begins, we also conduct medical examinations every day to track blood pressure and other vital signs (生命体征). If anyone is found unfit, they are cared for at the base camp.” Looking ahead, Vijay wants to open new unexplored trekking paths. “It’s a slow process, requiring better GPS mapping and more field research, but it could reshape the trekking landscape of India. If the right safety measures and infrastructure (基础设施) are put in place, we can attract more international trekkers,” Vijay said. 1．What made life challenging for Vijay when he worked at the bank? A．The lifestyle differences. B．The few outdoor activities. C．The city's weather conditions. D．The working hours at the bank. 2．Why did Vijay complete the mountaineering course? A．To improve his physical fitness. B．To learn skills for his business. C．To become a famous mountaineer. D．To teach higher-level trekking skills. 3．How does AdvenThrill ensure trekking safety? A．By asking international guides for help. B．By controlling the number of trekkers. C．By setting strict requirements. D．By conducting daily training. 4．What can be inferred from Vijay’s words in the last paragraph? A．He will work for Indian infrastructure soon. B．New trekking paths have become easier to open in India. C．He thinks that GPS mapping is more important than field research. D．Better safety measures may help India draw more foreign trekkers. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．An Indian started a travel company and makes trekking safe. B．There are some new unexplored trekking paths in India. C．Trekking is a fun sport that many people in India enjoy. D．It's hard to get used to local life in a new city. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文简要讲述了印度人 Vijay 不适应银行城市工作，辞职创办徒步旅行公司，学习专业登山知识、制定严格安全保障制度运营业务，还计划开辟新徒步线路、吸引海外游客的故事。 1．根据第一段中Vijay所说的话“It was difficult to manage food, language and social customs. I could hardly fit into the local community”可知，他在银行工作时面临的挑战主要源于饮食、语言和社会习俗等方面的差异，即生活方式的不同。故选A。 2．根据第二段“He knew that understanding the technicalities of trekking…would be important, so he completed a mountaineering course…”可知，他参加课程是为了掌握经营冒险旅行公司所需的专业技能和知识。故选B。 3．根据第三段内容可知，公司要求徒步者遵循20天健身计划、提供医疗报告、提前一个月报名以便审核身体状况，且每天出发前进行体检。这些措施都属于严格的要求，旨在确保徒步安全。故选C。 4．根据最后一段“If the right safety measures and infrastructure…are put in place, we can attract more international trekkers”可知，Vijay认为更好的安全措施有助于吸引外国徒步者，提升印度徒步旅行的吸引力。故选D。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Vijay 创办冒险旅行公司AdvenThrill的经历，重点描述了他如何通过专业培训组建团队以及制定严格的医疗和安全措施来保障徒步者的安全，并展望了未来发展。选项A“一位印度人创办了旅行公司并使徒步旅行更安全”最能概括文章核心内容。故选A。 What do you want to be when you grow up? A study shows that more than 80% of children want to choose jobs they often see around them, like doctors and teachers—with teachers topping the list of kids’ dream jobs. But jobs such as cartoonists appear in less than 7% of their answers. This “visibility bias” holds back our imagination—we often overlook (忽视) jobs hidden outside our daily lives. Choosing a career (职业) is important because it needs to bring both income (收入) and job satisfaction (满足感). If you don’t enjoy your job, your life won’t be as happy as you wish it to be. Try looking into different possibilities! Your dream job might be something you’ve never heard of before. How can you start? First, think about your interests and strengths. These will help shape your future work. If numbers excite you, maybe you can be a scientist. If storytelling comes naturally, writing or filmmaking could be your path. And remember to talk to teachers, parents and friends. They can share ideas about different jobs. Also, think about future trends (趋势). Many jobs today, like website builders, weren’t around 50 years ago. New jobs, like AI ethics advisors (伦理顾问) might appear when you grow up. So, besides learning school subjects, you should develop skills like creativity and critical thinking. You don’t have to wait to plan. Join clubs, read books, or watch videos about different jobs. Remember: big dreams start with small actions. Whether you want to change the world or find happiness, planning today will help you reach your dreams tomorrow! 1．What does the underlined phrase “visibility bias” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．A habit of only choosing jobs that pay a lot of money. B．A way of only noticing jobs that are often seen in daily life. C．A problem of forgetting about jobs one has heard of before. D．A mistake of thinking some jobs are easier than others. 2．Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A．①/②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④/⑤ C．①②/③/④/⑤ D．①/②/③/④⑤ 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Most kids dream of becoming cartoonists because they are creative. B．Job satisfaction is more important than income when choosing a career. C．New jobs like website builders will disappear in the near future. D．We should think about our interests and future trends when planning a career. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文讨论了职业规划，指出孩子选择职业存在“能见度偏差”，强调选择职业的重要性，并从兴趣优势和未来趋势等方面给出职业规划的方法和建议，鼓励人们从小行动开始规划职业以实现梦想。 1．第一段中“want to choose jobs they often see around them”以及后文解释“overlook jobs hidden outside our daily lives”，可知“visibility bias”指的是倾向于只关注日常生活中常见的职业。 2．第一段引出了孩子职业选择存在“能见度偏差”的现象；第二段阐述了职业选择的重要性；第三段和第四段分别从“兴趣优势”和“未来趋势”两个方面提出了具体的规划建议，属于并列关系；第五段总结全文并发出号召。因此文章结构为①/②/③④/⑤。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“think about your interests and strengths”和第四段“think about future trends”可知，规划职业时应综合考虑兴趣和未来趋势。A项与原文“less than 7%”不符；B项原文强调收入和满意度两者都需要；C项原文并未提及网站构建师会消失。 Once a single advertisement is stuck on a clean door, people will keep sticking more until the whole door is ruined, while a door without any advertisements usually stays clean for a long time. This interesting but worrying phenomenon (现象) in our daily life is a perfect example of what we call the “Broken Window Theory”. The theory comes from an experiment done by a famous American psychologist named Philip Zimbardo in 1969. He left two identical cars in different neighborhoods, one of them with a broken window. To his surprise, the car with the broken window was quickly destroyed and stolen by people passing by, while the other car remained untouched for over a week. This shows that signs of disorder or neglect (忽视) can easily encourage further bad behavior. This theory explains many problems. For instance, if a piece of litter is left on the sidewalk and nobody cleans it up, passers-by will soon think it is acceptable to throw more rubbish. Similarly, if a student begins to call someone names or use smartphones during class without being stopped, others will follow, which eventually destroys the learning environment. Another example is bullying; if mockery (嘲弄) is not corrected immediately early on, it may grow into serious school bullying. Thomas Lickona, a famous American education expert, once noted that schools which fail to fix early bad behaviors are actually opening the door to bigger problems. Therefore, teachers must set clear rules from the very beginning and stop any small misbehavior before it turns into a bigger trouble. Meanwhile, students should develop self-discipline and have the courage to say “no” to bad habits, making sure they do not become the person who breaks the first window. 1．Why is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1? A．To show the effect of the “Broken Window Theory” on readers. B．To show the importance of learning about the “Broken Window Theory”. C．To help readers better understand the “Broken Window Theory”. D．To help readers deal with phenomena related to the “Broken Window Theory”. 2．What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．clean B．expensive C．private D．similar 3．What may happen after a desk in the classroom becomes messy? A．Students may clean up the messy desk quickly. B．More students may leave their desks in a mess. C．The teacher may ask the student to clean the desk. D．The student’s grades may drop unexpectedly. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Bullying becomes serious because small misbehavior is neglected. B．Sidewalks become dirty because no cleaners clean them up. C．The car was stolen because it was left out for a long time. D．Learning environment was destroyed because of smartphones. 5．What advice is given to students? A．Stopping bad behaviors. B．Fighting back against bullying. C．Refusing to follow bad behaviors. D．Obeying school rules. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“破窗理论”（Broken Window Theory）的来源和原理，并举例说明了该理论在生活中的体现，最后给出教师和学生应如何避免“破窗效应”的建议。 1．第一段通过描述门上贴广告的生活现象，引出这是“破窗理论”的一个完美例子，作者引用此现象的目的是为了让读者更直观地理解什么是“破窗理论”。 2．由第二段“He left two identical cars in different neighborhoods, one of them with a broken window”可知，心理学家为了实验对比效果，放置的两辆车除了窗户状态不同外，其他条件应当是一致的，identical意为“完全相同的”，选项中similar（相似的/同样的）意思最接近。 3．由第三段“if a piece of litter is left on the sidewalk... passers-by will soon think it is acceptable to throw more rubbish”可知，破窗效应会导致更多不良行为，如果教室里一张桌子变乱（无序迹象），根据理论推导，会有更多学生效仿把桌子弄乱。 4．由第三段“if mockery is not corrected immediately early on, it may grow into serious school bullying”可知，如果早期的嘲弄不及时纠正，可能会发展成严重的校园欺凌，这与选项A“欺凌变得严重是因为小的不当行为被忽视”意思一致。 5．文章最后一段明确建议学生“develop self-discipline and have the courage to say ‘no’ to bad habits”，培养自律并有勇气对坏习惯说“不”，这对应选项C“拒绝跟随不良行为”。 As teenagers, we often face a lot of problems. One of the common problems is about our studies. We may find it hard to focus on our lessons. There is so much homework and so many exams that we feel stressed. Sometimes, we may not get good grades, which makes us disappointed. Another problem is about our relationships with our parents and friends. We may have arguments with our parents because they don’t understand us. They always tell us to study hard and don’t give us enough freedom. With friends, we may have misunderstandings. We may feel lonely if we don’t get along well with them. Also, many teenagers care about their looks. They may worry about being too fat or too thin. They may try different ways to lose weight or gain weight, which sometimes is not good for their health. However, we can do something to solve these problems. For study problems, we can make a study plan and manage our time better. We can also ask teachers and classmates for help. When it comes to relationship problems, we should communicate more with our parents and friends. Let them know our feelings and listen to their opinions. About our looks, we should remember that health is more important than appearance. We should eat a balanced diet and do regular exercise. 1．What is one of the common problems for teenagers according to the passage? A．They don’t like their parents. B．They can’t get enough sleep. C．They find it hard to focus on studies. D．They don’t have enough money. 2．Why do teenagers have arguments with their parents? A．Because parents don’t give them enough money. B．Because parents don’t understand them. C．Because parents don’t allow them to go out at night. D．Because parents always compare them with others. 3．What do many teenagers worry about? A．Their looks. B．Their jobs. C．Their future. D．Their neighbors. 4．How can teenagers solve study problems? A．By playing more games. B．By watching more TV. C．By making a study plan.

We may find it hard to focus on our lessons.”可知，青少年常见问题之一是他们发现很难集中精力学习。 2．根据文章第二段“We may have arguments with our parents because they don’t understand us.”可知，与父母争吵是因为父母不理解他们。 3．根据文章第三段“Also, many teenagers care about their looks. They may worry about being too fat or too thin.”可知，许多青少年担心的是自己的外貌。 4．根据文章第四段“For study problems, we can make a study plan and manage our time better.”可知，解决学习问题可以制定学习计划。 5．根据文章第四段“About our looks, we should remember that health is more important than appearance.”可知，健康比外貌更重要，即青少年应更关心健康而非外表，与C项一致。 Josie, who is 17 years old, said, “Why do my parents do the same things they tell me not to do? For example, my mum stops me from shouting through the walls and asks me to go and speak to her face-to-face, but she always shouts through the walls to me. What can I do?” That is a very good point. Parents can be completely inconsistent (不一致), and usually they don’t realize it. You see this a lot in many things like smartphones. Parents always say to their kids, “Oh, you can’t use that. It is bad for you, so stop using it at the table.” But then they are on theirs continually. So what do you expect teenagers to do? The whole “Do as I say, not as I do” thing is an annoyance, especially for a teenager who is dying for independence and respect but isn’t getting them. What can teenagers do with it? I would say you should point it out by calmly saying something like “You tell me not to scream through the walls, but you do it to me, so you can understand where I’m coming from. That’s not ideal.” They might object to (反对) it, but I think most parents who care about being parents would logically say, “That’s a reasonable point.” There are a lot of conflicts (矛盾) going on between teenagers and their parents, but a lot of studies show that the conflicts are resolved a lot more when they turn into a dialogue. If you can talk at a time when you’ re both feeling a bit calmer, like just in the kitchen or doing something unimportant, then go in and say, “Can I just mention it? You tell me not to do this, but you do it too.” If you can say it in a more calm and stress-free manner, most parents will respond positively. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1? A．Josie agrees with what her mum does. B．Josie likes doing what her mum does. C．Josie can’t understand what her mum does. D．Josie always shouts through the walls like her mum. 2．What does the underlined word “theirs” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The parents’ smartphones. B．The tables in the house. C．The devices in the house. D．The teenagers’ points. 3．What should teenagers do with their parents’ disagreement? A．Object to it personally. B．Complain of it continually. C．Talk with their parents calmly. D．Do some studies differently. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A．To list a fact. B．To offer a suggestion. C．To show a result. D．To ask a new question. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文讨论了青少年与父母之间的行为不一致问题，并给出了如何与父母有效沟通的建议。 1．第一段Josie说“Why do my parents do the same things they tell me not to do?”，说明她无法理解妈妈的行为。 2．第二段中“theirs”所在句为“But then they are on theirs continually.”，结合前文“Parents always say...you can’t use that...but then they are on theirs”，说明“theirs”指代前文提到的“smartphones”，即父母的手机。 3．第四段建议“point it out by calmly saying...”，说明青少年应与父母冷静沟通。 4．最后一段作者建议“If you can talk...then go in and say...”，并指出“If you can say it in a more calm...most parents will respond positively.”，说明作者通过提供建议来帮助青少年与父母沟通，因此写作目的是“给出建议”。 On a basketball court, Memettursunjan Erkin quickly ran past his opponent (对手), turned around, and threw a perfect pass to his teammate.Small in size, he didn’t stand out at first glance—until someone noticed his prosthetic (假体的) leg. Born in 2013 in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Memettursunjan came into the world missing part of his right leg.As a child, he often stayed by the window, watching other children run and play.“Walking on a prosthetic leg was hard, so I usually stayed at home,” he explained. Everything changed when Memettursunjan was six.He watched a video of NBA star Stephen Curry, who wasn’t the tallest or the strongest player, but was fearless and skillful.The video deeply inspired him. However, the basketball court was ruthless (无情的).“I couldn’t beat anyone,” Memettursunjan recalled.“I even thought about giving up.” But he didn’t. “I cried at night, but the next morning, I told myself: real men don’t quit.” He hung a simple basketball hoop (篮球筐) on a tree outside his home and practised for hours every day. He learned to play smarter: if he couldn’t run faster than others, he could focus on improving his skills;if he couldn’t jump very high, he could pass the ball really well. His hard work paid off.He got into the school team, not because of others’ pity for him, but because of his perseverance (毅力) and skills. Now, Memettursunjan has found not only confidence, but also friendship.“Basketball gives me something more than a game,” he said.“It has helped me find myself.” 1．How did the writer start the passage? A．By describing a scene. B．By comparing two people. C．By introducing a problem. D．By giving a definition. 2．What did Memettursunjan usually do when he was a child? A． B． C． D． 3．What was the key to his improvement? A．Relying on his speed. B．Focusing on smart skills. C．Practising jumping higher. D．Getting a new prosthetic leg. 4．Which saying best describes Memettursunjan’s story? A．Time is money. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了新疆男孩Memettursunjan Erkin天生右腿部分缺失，在受到 NBA 球星库里的激励后坚持练习篮球，最终凭借毅力和技巧进入校队，在篮球中找到自信和友谊的故事。 1．第一段描述了Memettursunjan在球场上快速奔跑、转身、传球的场景，因此作者通过描述场景来开篇。 2．第二段指出“As a child, he often stayed by the window, watching other children run and play.”，说明他小时候通常待在家里，在窗边看其他孩子玩耍。 3．第五段指出“He learned to play smarter: if he couldn’t run faster than others, he could focus on improving his skills; if he couldn’t jump very high, he could pass the ball really well.”，说明他进步的关键是专注于提升技巧和智慧地打球。 4．全文讲述Memettursunjan克服身体缺陷、坚持训练最终成功的经历，体现了“有志者事竟成”的精神。 Have you heard of the saying “If you fall off the horse, get back on.”? It means that things may get difficult, and you may make many mistakes. But you should have the passion (激情) and energy to keep going. This is called perseverance (毅力). It can help you get a lot of things. Perseverance means keeping doing something for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or difficult. For example, you practise a trick on your bike again and again. Or you finish a picture without giving up. These show perseverance. Florence, a 13-year-old girl, says, “It means never giving up and trying hard to push yourself. I go running with my mum three times a week. Sometimes I feel good and sometimes I don’t. But I still do it because I want to be the fastest in my class. Whether in good situations or bad ones, we need perseverance.” Studies show that when you feel hopeful and work for a goal you really want, it can reduce (减轻) stress and make you feel happier. When you get something you worked hard for and face difficulties on the way, it can develop your confidence (自信) and make you feel braver to try new things. Angela Duckworth is an expert on people’s thoughts and feelings. She studies perseverance and calls it “grit”. She thinks that having grit is really important for us to succeed. She says, “No matter how talented you are at something or how well you do in school, you must have grit. When things are hard, perseverance is even more important. It can help you get past the hard times and reach your goals.” Duckworth believes perseverance is something anyone can learn. The best way to learn it is to have a growth mind. This means believing that your brain can grow. You can get anything if you put your mind to it. As the book The Big Life Journal says, “People with a growth idea know they can get better by working hard. They keep trying even when things are difficult.” 1．Why does the writer take Florence for example in Paragraph 2? A．To introduce what perseverance means. B．To talk about how to train running skills. C．To present the advantages of perseverance. D．To show the importance of staying with parents. 2．According to the passage, what can help us reduce stress? A．Developing talents through mistakes. B．Building confidence in hard situations. C．Trying hard for our dreams with hope. D．Keeping doing things without thinking. 3．What does the underlined word “grit” mean? A．A big success. B．A strong will. C．Great pride. D．Top talent. 4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．The Power of Perseverance B．The Tips to Reach the Goals C．The Ways to Solve Problems D．The Meaning of Thinking Habits 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕毅力（perseverance）展开论述，阐释毅力的含义、好处，引用专家观点说明毅力对成功的重要作用以及培养毅力的方法。 1．第二段指出信息：“Perseverance means keeping doing something for a long time.”，随后列举骑车练习画画以及Florence坚持跑步的例子，用来解释什么是毅力。 2．第三段指出信息：“Studies show that when you feel hopeful and work for a goal you really want, it can reduce stress and make you feel happier.”，满怀希望、为梦想努力能够帮助我们减轻压力。 3．第四段指出信息：“She studies perseverance and calls it ‘grit’.”，grit就是前文所说的perseverance（毅力），由此推断词义为强大的意志。 4．全文围绕毅力展开，介绍毅力定义、作用、专家研究以及如何培养毅力，《毅力的力量》最适合作为文章标题。 On August 16, 2025, Pang Zhongwang, a doctoral student from Tsinghua University, won the “Touching China 2024” Award. His story, from a young man who fights against heavy hardships (困难) to an encouraging character, has warmed many hearts.    Born with great challenges, Pang lived a hard life when he was a child. His father had a serious mental illness. His mother’s legs were cut off, so she could hardly move. Pang himself had a heart problem since he was born. He went door-to-door borrowing money for his mother’s illness. He also picked up waste things to make money and help pay off his family’s debts (债务). However, he never lost hope. He always believed “Knowledge can change life”.     In 2017, Pang entered Tsinghua University with a very high score in the college entrance exam. At first, he was worried that he might let others down. But later, he found his interest in scientific research. He kept trying even when he failed many times. Although money was still the problem, he decided to depend on himself. That’s why he said no to people who raised money for him. Instead, he asked Tsinghua University for grants (补助金) and won the prizes for good grades. His mother named him “Zhongwang”, which means “the hope of everyone”. She always told him to look forward to the future. Pang once said, “Mom smiles every day—why should I feel sad?” Sadly, his mother passed away in 2020. That was just before he got the chance to study for a doctor’s degree at Tsinghua University. Now, Pang has written many important science papers and got patents (专利) for his inventions. His dream is to “serve the country through scientific research” and he works hard for this goal. His story lights the way for many people. As the award speech says, “You leave your hard times behind. You face life with a smile and move forward strongly.” Pang’s journey shows us that if we are strong and keep hope, we can live up to expectations and create our own bright future. 1．How did Pang Zhongwang make money as a child? A．By working in the factory. B．By selling newspapers. C．By picking up waste things. D．By washing cars for others. 2．Why did Pang Zhongwang refuse the money from other people after he entered university? A．Because he was afraid of being laughed at.

He asked him,“What’s the matter, son?” The young boy replied,“My rich classmates called me ‘the son of a gardener’. They said that my father lives on the money he earns from watering and feeding plants.” The father stopped for a moment and then said,“Let’s carry out an experiment.” He held his son’s hand and walked him to the garden. Then he took out two flower seeds and said,“We will plant a flower separately. I’ll care for one and water it with clean water while you’ll care for the other and water yours with dirty water. We shall see the results in a few weeks.” As the boy joined his father in planting the flowers, it took them some days to finally germinate (使发芽) the flower seeds.“Look at the two flowers. What can you see?” the father said. The boy said,“My flower looks better and healthier than yours. How is that possible when your water is cleaner?” The father smiled,“That’s because the dirty water doesn’t stop a plant from growing but rather serves as organic fertilizer (有机肥料) to help it grow. You see, there are some people who put you down in life and mock (嘲笑) your dreams. Always remember that there’s nothing wrong with you. Don’t let the unkind words upset you. Instead, let them encourage you to be a better person, so you will be like the plant and will grow well even in the dirt.” 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The son’s flower. B．The father’s flower. C．The experiment. D．The garden. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．The father and the son took care of the plants together. B．Only the seed planted by the father germinated. C．The son’s flower looks better than the father’s flower. D．The dirty water stops the father’s flower from growing. 3．Which of the following can best describe the father? A．Kind and brave. B．Patient and wise. C．Helpful and polite. D．Hard-working and honest. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．Speech is silver, while silence is golden. B．Everything is nice in your garden. C．He who mocks the aged mocks his own future. D．A lotus flower grows in the mud without becoming unclean. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位父亲通过种花实验，教育儿子不要因他人的嘲笑而沮丧，要像用脏水浇灌的花一样，在逆境中茁壮成长，保持积极乐观的心态。 1．原文第2段父亲说的话“I’ll care for one and water it with clean water while you’ll care for the other and water yours with dirty water.”指出，句中“I”指代父亲，父亲照料其中一株花，用清水浇灌“it”，“it”指代父亲负责的那朵花。对应选项B。 2．原文第3段“My flower looks better and healthier than yours...”表明，男孩口中“my flower”即男孩照料的花，对比父亲的花长势更好，与选项C表述完全一致。选项A表示“父亲和儿子一起照料这些植物”，选项B表示“只有父亲种下的种子发芽了”，选项D表示“脏水阻碍了父亲的花生长”，均与原文内容冲突。 3．根据第二段父亲听到儿子哭泣后没有生气，而是提议做实验（“Let’s carry out an experiment”），并耐心等待花开结果来教育儿子，可以看出父亲非常有耐心（即“Patient”）；通过实验让儿子明白人生道理，说明父亲很有智慧（即“wise”）。对应选项B。 4．文章最后父亲说的话“...so you will be like the plant and will grow well even in the dirt.”表示“所以你会像这植物一样，即使在泥土中也能茁壮成长”，这与选项D（出淤泥而不染）的寓意最相符，即身处逆境或面对嘲笑时，依然要保持本色，努力成长。 When you finally finish your homework and get to relax, what do you do? Do you lie on your bed and scroll (滚屏) through your phone? Many people find that this kind of entertainment only brings boredom and emptiness (空虚). Opposite to what many people may think, play isn’t just a waste of time. Having the ability to play and relax meaningfully during your leisure time is important. “Leisure doesn’t improve quality of life unless one knows how to use it effectively (有效地),” James Wallman, the writer of Time and How to Spend It, told CNBC Make It, explaining that some experiences are “junk experiences” while others are like “superfoods” . The “superfood” activities put you into a state of “flow”, which is “about being in the present zone [and] really enjoying yourself”, added Wallman. Any pleasurable activity that truly challenges us has the potential (潜力) to lead to the flow-state. These “superfoods” help you achieve a higher “leisure quotient” (LQ, 玩商). LQ is an index (指数) used to describe one’s ability to relax and play. A high LQ usually means that a person has good control over their life, knows how to develop their potential and keeps a balanced lifestyle that makes them healthier and happier, according to China Daily. Psychological (心理学的) research shows that people with high LQ scores feel happier and generally avoid depression (抑郁) and other mental illnesses. Meanwhile, Kenichi Ohmae, a Japanese management expert, points out that those who can play will succeed. Instead of doing passive (被动的) activities like scrolling through short videos, people with high LQ scores actively choose activities that suit their interests and strengths, giving them continuous positive feedback. According to Wallman, examples of this positive feedback include: a memorable story you can share with others; a new skill or a different world view; more experience with the real world; and improved relationships or a higher social status. The next time you find yourself bored with nothing to do, try doing some experiences that could benefit you or add to your life. It’s never too late to improve your LQ! 1．According to James Wallman, what are “superfood” activities? A．Activities that are free and easy to do. B．Activities that don’t require much effort. C．Activities that make you feel bored and empty. D．Activities that are both enjoyable and challenging. 2．What does the LQ index describe? A．The ability to balance work and life. B．The potential to lead a successful life. C．The ability to play and relax. D．The ability to manage difficult conditions. 3．What do people with high LQ scores do? A．They passively wait for activities to be assigned B．They spend much of their time outdoors. C．They are good at managing their work time. D．They choose activities that match their potential. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Getting to relax after homework is a “junk experience” . B．Activities with positive feedback help to improve our LQ. C．Activities with passive feedback may improve quality of life. D．LQ index helps people avoid depression and mental illnesses. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是议论文，引入“玩商 LQ”概念，区分无意义被动消遣与“超级食物式” 优质休闲活动，说明高质量休闲能提升玩商、让人身心愉悦、收获成长。 1．根据文章第四段“The “superfood’ activities put you into a state of ‘flow’... Any pleasurable activity that truly challenges us has the potential to lead to the flow-state.”可知，James Wallman 认为"superfood"活动是指那些既令人愉快 (pleasurable/enjoyable) 又具有真正挑战性 (truly challenging) 的活动。 2．根据文章第五段“LQ is an index used to describe one’s ability to relax and play.”可知，LQ指数是用来描述一个人放松和玩耍的能力的。 3．根据文章第五段“A high LQ usually means that a person... knows how to develop their potential”以及第七段“people with high LQ scores actively choose activities that suit their interests and strength.”可知，高玩商的人懂得开发潜力，并选择适合自身兴趣和优势的活动，即选择与自身潜力相匹配的活动。 4．根据文章第七段“…actively choose activities that suit their interests and strengths, giving them continuous positive feedback.”以及最后一段“…try doing some experiences that could benefit you... It's never too late to improve your LQ!”可知，选择能带来积极反馈的活动有助于提高我们的玩商 (LQ)。选项 D 表述为“LQ 指数帮助人们”，主体有误 (是高玩商的人避免抑郁，而非指数本身)；选项B符合文意。 ①On Sept. 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. ②Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves. ③“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth,” Fan told Gansu Daily. ④Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals (壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan’s team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology. ⑤As time passed. Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. Something needed to be done to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage. ⑥In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world. ⑦“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” 1．How old was Fan Jinshi when she started working in the caves?
