As I was about to head back to my room, my mom called out, “Emma, you’ve got mail.” Excited, I hurried downstairs and saw a small envelope waiting for me on the table. It was from my pen pal, Sarah, who lives in San Francisco. We met online through a group for book lovers, and after hearing others talk about how fun it was to have a pen pal, we decided to try it ourselves.
In her first letter to me, she wrote, “The idea of having a pen pal seems so romantic to me. While I appreciate the conveniences of the modern world, certain traditions carry a timeless beauty.”
I couldn’t agree more. My love for handwritten notes wasn’t new. I’ve always enjoyed writing personal letters to friends. When I graduated from high school, I even wrote to each of my friends, reflecting on our memories and wishing them well as we went our separate ways. But my exchange with Sarah felt different. We were strangers getting to know each other through letters.
Sarah told me that she loves baking and that her favorite thing to make is chocolate chip cookies. She also said she enjoys watching sunsets by the beach and that she thinks they’re the most peaceful moments of her day. From her letters, I learned a lot about San Francisco, too. In return, I shared stories about my life in Boston. I also told her about my favorite season, fall, and how the trees turn beautiful shades of red and orange.
Writing to Sarah has become a cherished hobby. While texting or emailing is quick, there’s something magical about opening a handwritten letter. The thoughtful choice of words and the care behind each detail make it unique. I look forward to every envelope that arrives, knowing it carries a bit of Sarah’s world into mine.
4. What made Emma start writing letters to Sarah?
A. Getting tired of the modern world. B. Eagerness to know more about each other.
C. Desiring a completely different lifestyle. D. Inspiration by other people’s experiences.
5. Why did Emma mention writing letters to her high school friends?
A. To express her aims at writing letters. B. To tell her sad experience in high school.
C. To show she has long loved writing letters. D. To advise others to make more new friends.
6. What can we know about Emma and Sarah from the passage?
A. Emma lives in San Francisco now. B. Sarah likes making chocolate chip cookies.
C. They love enjoying beautiful sunsets together. D. They prefer writing letters to texting and emails.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Timeless Beauty of Letters B. From Memories to Messages
C. Life in Two Different Cities D. My Favorite Traditional Hobby
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A

细节理解题。根据第一段中“We met online through a group for book lovers, and after hearing others talk about how fun it was to have a pen pal, we decided to try it ourselves. (我们是通过一个读书爱好者群组在网上认识的,后来听到别人说拥有笔友是多么有趣,于是我们决定自己尝试一下。)”可知,两人是在听到其他人分享笔友的乐趣后,才决定尝试书信往来,也就是受到了他人经历的启发。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“My love for handwritten notes wasn’t new. I’ve always enjoyed writing personal letters to friends. When I graduated from high school, I even wrote to each of my friends, reflecting on our memories and wishing them well as we went our separate ways. (我喜欢手写信件从来不是新鲜事。高中毕业时,我甚至给每位朋友都写过信,回忆过往点滴,并祝愿他们各自前程顺利。)”可推知,艾玛提到给高中朋友写信是为了表明她一直热爱写信。
【6题详解】

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“The thoughtful choice of words and the care behind each detail make it unique. I look forward to every envelope that arrives, knowing it carries a bit of Sarah’s world into mine. (字里行间精心选择的词语,以及对每个细节的用心,使每封信都独一无二。我期待着每一封到来的信封,知道它会带些许莎拉的世界进入我的生活。)”可知,全文以艾玛和莎拉的笔友故事为载体,核心在于表达手写信这一传统形式的独特价值与永恒魅力,呼应了文中“永恒之美”的核心表达。由此可知,这篇文章的最佳标题是“信件的永恒之美”。
C
For a bee to be successful, it needs to dance. Scientists have long known that honeybees shake their bodies. It is their way of sharing information about the direction and their distance from flowers around the beehive (蜂巢). They both provide food for bees. Bees can even use their dance moves to tell each other how delicious certain flowers are.
Now a new study shows that honeybees don’t have these dance skills at birth. Young bees learn them by watching the older bees. In March 2023, scientists from the University of California, San Diego, published these findings in a scientific journal.
The study found that like some other insects, bees can learn new behaviors by imitating (模仿) each other. This is called “social learning”. The scientists compared two groups of bees. These groups contained very young bees. They were about 10 days old. In the first group, young bees could observe older ones moving their bodies. Bee biologists call their dance the “waggle dance”. In the second group, young bees did not get to watch other dancers. These dance moves contain much information. The angle of the middle of the figure-eight tells other bees which direction to fly. The more a bee wiggles, the farther away the food is. And the more the bee repeats the wiggles, the tastier the food is.
The biologists compared the young bees in each group. The bees were only 10 days old, but there was already a difference in their dance skills. The ones that had watched older bees do the waggle dance were better dancers, the ones that had not been able to watch older bees weren’t as good as the others at the waggle dance.
A London scientist named Lars Chittka explained why this is so important. He said that this study changes the way biologists think about bees. They used to think bees could all do the waggle dance without having learned it. Now they know bees pick up these skills through social learning.
8. What messages can honeybees pass on through their dance?
①The direction of flowers ②The distance of food ③The taste of flowers ④The size of beehives
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
9. In what way were the two groups different?
A. The age of the bees. B. The shape of the bees.
C. If they could watch other older dancers. D. If they’ve known how to dance.
10. According to Paragraph 3, what does a bee’s frequent wiggles mean?
A. The beehive is in the shape of figure-eight. B. It needs more partners to collect food.
C. The flying direction is changing all the time. D. The food is far away and delicious.
11. What can we learn from the new study?
A. Honeybees are born with natural dance skills. B. Young bees learn dance from older bees.
C. All insects learn skills through social learning. D. 10-day-old bees have the same dance abilities.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项新的科学研究,该研究探究蜜蜂舞蹈技能的来源,发现蜜蜂传递食物信息的摆尾舞技能并非天生,幼蜂需要通过观察模仿年长蜜蜂习得这项技能,文章介绍了实验过程与该发现的生物学意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“It is their way of sharing information about the direction and their distance from flowers around the beehive. They both provide food for bees. Bees can even use their dance moves to tell each other how delicious certain flowers are.(这是蜜蜂分享蜂巢周边花朵的方向和距离信息的方式,这些花都可以为蜜蜂提供食物。蜜蜂甚至可以用舞蹈动作告诉同伴某些花有多美味。)”可知,蜜蜂舞蹈可以传递花朵方向、食物距离、花朵味道的信息,不包含蜂巢大小的信息,因此①②③正确。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In the first group, young bees could observe older ones moving their bodies. Bee biologists call their dance the “waggle dance”. In the second group, young bees did not get to watch other dancers.(在第一组中,年轻的蜜蜂可以观察到年长的蜜蜂身体移动。蜜蜂生物学家将这种舞蹈称为“摇摆舞”。在第二组中,年轻的蜜蜂没有机会看到其他舞者。)”可知,两组的区别是幼蜂是否能够观看年长蜜蜂跳舞。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The more a bee wiggles, the farther away the food is. And the more the bee repeats the wiggles, the tastier the food is.(蜜蜂摆动次数越多,说明食物距离越远;蜜蜂重复摆动越频繁,说明食物越美味。)”可知,频繁摆动意味着食物既远又美味。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Now a new study shows that honeybees don’t have these dance skills at birth. Young bees learn them by watching the older bees.(现在一项新研究表明,蜜蜂并非天生就拥有这些舞蹈技能,幼蜂通过观察年长蜜蜂来学习舞蹈。)”可知,幼蜂会向年长蜜蜂学习舞蹈。

Are you afraid of answering the phone?
A topic that has emerged on the Internet recently is why young people dislike answering phone calls, leading to heated discussions.
“Once the phone rings, I become anxious. I put it aside and wait for the other person to hang up,” an Internet user shared her reaction to the phone ringing, one of the most popular ways young people deal with phone calls. However, it was different in the past, when everyone waited in line in front of telephone booths (电话亭) to make calls.
As technology has developed, phones have gained more functions, changing how we communicate. A 2025 report from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that people in China talked on their mobile phones for a total of 2.09 trillion (万亿) minutes. This is 28 percent less than a decade ago, reflecting a shift from talking to texting.
“Compared with text communication, talking on the phone doesn’t give people enough time to think and breathe,” Liu Shuangqing, a cognitive psychologist at China University of Political Science and Law, told Beijing Youth Daily. “This immediate forced participation can make people feel stressed. The initiative (主动权) to participate is also taken away by the caller, making the person answering the phone feel passive. What’s more, people can’t see the facial expressions and body language, but only hear tones and words, which makes the person answering the call overthink the caller’s real meaning.”
Answering the phone is like opening a blind box. It can ring at any time and can bring good news or bad news, which creates a sense of precariousness.
Unlike texting, where people can show their feelings through emojis (表情符号), phone calls miss out on a lot of key information. Albert Mehrabian, a psychologist and communication researcher, found that 55 percent of meaning is communicated through body language, 38 percent through tone of voice and 7 percent through spoken words.
12. What do young people usually think of phone calls?
A. They are major approach to communication. B. They build better relationships with others.
C. They can remove their anxiety in life. D. They put them under great pressure.
13. Why has people’s total phone call time dropped greatly in China?
A. Telephone booths are no longer available in cities. B. People prefer text communication to voice calls.
C. Mobile phone functions become less useful. D. Young people have no time to make phone calls.
14. What does the underlined word “precariousness” in Para. 6 probably mean?
A. Uncertainty. B. Independence. C. Authority. D. Relief.
15. What can be known from Albert Mehrabian’s research?
A. Spoken words are of little value in conversation.
B. Emojis can replace body language in showing feelings.
C. Body language plays an important role in communication.
D. People prefer communicating through body language to words.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要探讨了年轻人不喜欢接电话的原因,包括即时压力、主动权丧失以及非语言信息的缺失。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A topic that has emerged on the Internet recently is why young people dislike answering phone calls, leading to heated discussions.(最近网络上出现了一个话题,为什么年轻人不喜欢接电话,引发了热烈的讨论)”和第三段中““Once the phone rings, I become anxious. I put it aside and wait for the other person to hang up,” an Internet user shared her reaction to the phone ringing, one of the most popular ways young people deal with phone calls. (“手机一响,我就会变得焦虑。我会把它放在一边,等对方挂断,”一位网民分享了她对电话铃响的反应,这是年轻人处理电话最流行的方式之一)”可推知,电话会让年轻人变得焦虑,会给他们带来压力。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“A 2025 report from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that people in China talked on their mobile phones for a total of 2.09 trillion (万亿) minutes. This is 28 percent less than a decade ago, reflecting a shift from talking to texting.(中国工业和信息化部2025年的一份报告显示,中国人使用手机通话总时长为2.09万亿分钟。这比十年前减少了28%,反映出从通话向短信的转变)”和第五段中““Compared with text communication, talking on the phone doesn’t give people enough time to think and breathe,” Liu Shuangqing, a cognitive psychologist at China University of Political Science and Law, told Beijing Youth Daily. “This immediate forced participation can make people feel stressed. The initiative (主动权) to participate is also taken away by the caller, making the person answering the phone feel passive. What’s more, people can’t see the facial expressions and body language, but only hear tones and words, which makes the person answering the call overthink the caller’s real meaning.” (“与文字交流相比,打电话没有给人们足够的时间去思考和喘息,”中国政法大学的认知心理学家刘双庆告诉《北京青年报》。“这种即时的、被迫的参与会让人感到有压力。参与的主动权也被来电者夺走,让接电话的人感到被动。更重要的是,人们看不到面部表情和肢体语言,只能听到语气和话语,这会让接电话的人过度解读来电者的真实意图。”)”可推知,打电话带来即时的、被迫的参与感会让人感到有压力,因此人们更倾向于文字交流而非语音通话,这就是中国人的总通话时间大幅下降的原因。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中“It can ring at any time and can bring good news or bad news, which creates a sense of precariousness. (它可以在任何时候响起,带来好消息或坏消息,这造成了一种precariousness感)”可知,电话可能带来好消息,也可能带来坏消息,这种不确定性会造成了“不安全感”。故划线词意为“不确定性”,与“Uncertainty”同义。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Albert Mehrabian, a psychologist and communication researcher, found that 55 percent of meaning is communicated through body language, 38 percent through tone of voice and 7 percent through spoken words. (心理学家和传播研究者Albert Mehrabian发现,意义的传达有55%通过肢体语言,38%通过语调,而只有7%通过所说的话语本身)”可知,肢体语言在沟通中扮演着重要角色。

Our homes use a lot of energy in summer. The huge amounts of energy used to cool them result in more than a sixth of the world’s greenhouse gases. Here are some simple solutions to protect our planet and reduce our energy bills.
____16____
We’re used to thinking about turning on the air conditioning to control our home’s temperature. But many of us live in environments where all we need to do is to open the windows to be comfortable.
Don’t forget the ceiling fan.
A lot of the time, we don’t need air conditioning if we have a ceiling fan. ____17____ But it can provide increased cooling by moving the air around, which may be enough in certain climates. Compared to air conditioners, ceiling fans can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 76%. ____18____
Put shades outside, not inside.
In places that get very hot, we should think about installing shades outside the windows or doors. Here’s why. If we have a blind or curtain outside, then the sunlight cannot come in. ____19____ In ancient civilizations like Egypt, Tunisia or Southern Europe, people used wooden shutters to keep the heat outside a building.
Make the roof reflective.
The roofs are often the part of our home that receives the most sunlight. ____20____ If they are coated with a white or a silvery color, most of the solar energy will be reflected away instead of being absorbed inside.
A. Open the windows.
B. Turn on the air conditioner.
C. Keep the fan in good condition.
D. Sure, it cannot lower the temperature in the house.
E. So if you have a ceiling fan and aren’t using it, try turning it on.
F. However, most of them are black or dark-colored, which absorb the heat.
G. Putting up shades to prevent heat from entering is a tradition for hundreds of years.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了夏季家庭降温的多个低碳节能方案,帮助减少温室气体排放、降低能源开支。
【16题详解】
根据后文“We’re used to thinking about turning on the air conditioning to control our home’s temperature. But many of us live in environments where all we need to do is to open the windows to be comfortable.(我们习惯于考虑打开空调来控制家里的温度。但我们中的许多人所处的环境仅需开窗就能获得舒适感)”可知,空处位于段首,是该段的核心主题句,该段围绕开窗降温展开,对应选项A“开窗”。
【17题详解】
前文“A lot of the time, we don’t need air conditioning if we have a ceiling fan.(如果有吊扇,很多时候我们并不需要空调)”提到有吊扇就不需要开空调,后文“But it can provide increased cooling by moving the air around, which may be enough in certain climates.(但是它可以通过空气流动提升降温效果,这在某些气候条件下已经足够)”提到吊扇的降温作用,且用But转折,说明空处应说明吊扇本身的局限性,D选项“的确,它不能降低房间内的温度”符合逻辑。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Compared to air conditioners, ceiling fans can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 76%.(和空调相比,吊扇可以减少76%的能源使用和温室气体排放)”可知,前文介绍了吊扇节能降温的优势,此处给出总结性建议,E选项“因此如果你有吊扇却没用它,试试打开它”符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据小标题“Put shades outside, not inside.(把遮阳设施装在室外,而非室内)”和后文“In ancient civilizations like Egypt, Tunisia or Southern Europe, people used wooden shutters to keep the heat outside a building.(在古埃及、突尼斯或是南欧文明中,人们就用木质百叶窗把热量阻挡在建筑外)”可知,本段讲述把窗帘装在外面,后文举例说明古代就已经在用百叶窗阻挡热量,说明这个方法由来已久,G选项“安装遮阳设施阻挡热量进入是有数百年历史的传统”对应下文举例,符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据前文“The roofs are often the part of our home that receives the most sunlight.(屋顶通常是家中接收日照最多的部分)”和后文“If they are coated with a white or a silvery color, most of the solar energy will be reflected away instead of being absorbed inside.(如果屋顶被刷成白色或者银色,大部分太阳能会被反射出去,而不是被吸收进室内)”可知,前文提到屋顶接受日照多,后文提出把屋顶改成浅反光颜色反射热量,说明空处应说明现在颜色不利于反射热量,F选项“然而,大部分屋顶是黑色或者深色的,会吸收热量”符合语境。

【37题详解】

Lily’s Art Competition Journey
Lily loved painting more than anything else. Since she was a little girl, she had spent every free moment after school, on weekends, or even quiet rainy mornings — with a brush in her hand, losing herself completely in the world of colors. Her bedroom walls were covered with her paintings — beautiful landscapes of distant mountains, cute animals like fluffy rabbits and playful birds, and colorful flowers that looked almost real. However, Lily was very shy. She never showed her paintings to anyone except her parents, as she was deeply afraid of being criticized for her work.
One day, Lily’s school announced that there would be an art competition. The winner would have their painting displayed (展出) in the city’s art museum, a prize that made every student excited. Lily’s parents immediately encouraged her to participate, but she hesitated, her hands tightly gripping her paintbrush. “What if my painting is not good enough?” she asked in a small voice. Her mother smiled softly and patted her shoulder. “No one will laugh at you,” she said gently. “The most important thing is to try your best and share your love for painting.”
After thinking for a long time, Lily finally decided to give it a try. She spent weeks working on her painting, choosing to depict (描绘) the beautiful sunset over the lake near her home — a scene she adored. Every afternoon, she would sit on a small bench by the lake, watching the sky turn from golden yellow to soft pink and pale orange, then rush home to mix paints carefully and brush each stroke with all her heart and soul. When the day of the competition came, Lily took her painting to school and handed it in nervously. That night, she was so anxious that she could barely sleep, replaying every detail of her painting in her mind and wondering if others would like it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A few days later, the results of the competition were announced.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
A few days later, the results of the competition were announced. Lily’s heart raced as the teacher read the winners’ names. When she heard her own name, she froze for a second, unable to believe her ears. The classroom erupted in cheers, and her classmates crowded around to congratulate her. Her teacher smiled and patted her head, saying, “Your sunset painting is wonderful — it’s full of love for life.” Lily blushed, feeling a warm sense of joy and pride spreading in her chest.
Paragraph 2:
When Lily’s painting was displayed in the art museum, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Her work hung neatly on the wall, bathed in soft light, beside other excellent paintings. Many visitors stopped to admire it, whispering words of praise. Her parents stood beside her, holding her hands tightly. Lily looked at her painting, then at the smiling faces around her. She realized that sharing her art wasn’t scary at all. From that day on, she became more confident and was willing to show her paintings to others.

As I was about to head back to my room, my mom called out, “Emma, you’ve got mail.” Excited, I hurried downstairs and saw a small envelope waiting for me on the table. It was from my pen pal, Sarah, who lives in San Francisco. We met online through a group for book lovers, and after hearing others talk about how fun it was to have a pen pal, we decided to try it ourselves.
In her first letter to me, she wrote, “The idea of having a pen pal seems so romantic to me. While I appreciate the conveniences of the modern world, certain traditions carry a timeless beauty.”
I couldn’t agree more. My love for handwritten notes wasn’t new. I’ve always enjoyed writing personal letters to friends. When I graduated from high school, I even wrote to each of my friends, reflecting on our memories and wishing them well as we went our separate ways. But my exchange with Sarah felt different. We were strangers getting to know each other through letters.
Sarah told me that she loves baking and that her favorite thing to make is chocolate chip cookies. She also said she enjoys watching sunsets by the beach and that she thinks they’re the most peaceful moments of her day. From her letters, I learned a lot about San Francisco, too. In return, I shared stories about my life in Boston. I also told her about my favorite season, fall, and how the trees turn beautiful shades of red and orange.
Writing to Sarah has become a cherished hobby. While texting or emailing is quick, there’s something magical about opening a handwritten letter. The thoughtful choice of words and the care behind each detail make it unique. I look forward to every envelope that arrives, knowing it carries a bit of Sarah’s world into mine.
4. What made Emma start writing letters to Sarah?
A. Getting tired of the modern world. B. Eagerness to know more about each other.
C. Desiring a completely different lifestyle. D. Inspiration by other people’s experiences.
5. Why did Emma mention writing letters to her high school friends?
A. To express her aims at writing letters. B. To tell her sad experience in high school.
C. To show she has long loved writing letters. D. To advise others to make more new friends.
6. What can we know about Emma and Sarah from the passage?
A. Emma lives in San Francisco now. B. Sarah likes making chocolate chip cookies.
C. They love enjoying beautiful sunsets together. D. They prefer writing letters to texting and emails.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Timeless Beauty of Letters B. From Memories to Messages
C. Life in Two Different Cities D. My Favorite Traditional Hobby
C
For a bee to be successful, it needs to dance. Scientists have long known that honeybees shake their bodies. It is their way of sharing information about the direction and their distance from flowers around the beehive (蜂巢). They both provide food for bees. Bees can even use their dance moves to tell each other how delicious certain flowers are.
Now a new study shows that honeybees don’t have these dance skills at birth. Young bees learn them by watching the older bees. In March 2023, scientists from the University of California, San Diego, published these findings in a scientific journal.
The study found that like some other insects, bees can learn new behaviors by imitating (模仿) each other. This is called “social learning”. The scientists compared two groups of bees. These groups contained very young bees. They were about 10 days old. In the first group, young bees could observe older ones moving their bodies. Bee biologists call their dance the “waggle dance”. In the second group, young bees did not get to watch other dancers. These dance moves contain much information. The angle of the middle of the figure-eight tells other bees which direction to fly. The more a bee wiggles, the farther away the food is. And the more the bee repeats the wiggles, the tastier the food is.
The biologists compared the young bees in each group. The bees were only 10 days old, but there was already a difference in their dance skills. The ones that had watched older bees do the waggle dance were better dancers, the ones that had not been able to watch older bees weren’t as good as the others at the waggle dance.
A London scientist named Lars Chittka explained why this is so important. He said that this study changes the way biologists think about bees. They used to think bees could all do the waggle dance without having learned it. Now they know bees pick up these skills through social learning.
8. What messages can honeybees pass on through their dance?
①The direction of flowers ②The distance of food ③The taste of flowers ④The size of beehives
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
9. In what way were the two groups different?
A. The age of the bees. B. The shape of the bees.
C. If they could watch other older dancers. D. If they’ve known how to dance.
10. According to Paragraph 3, what does a bee’s frequent wiggles mean?
A. The beehive is in the shape of figure-eight. B. It needs more partners to collect food.
C. The flying direction is changing all the time. D. The food is far away and delicious.
11. What can we learn from the new study?
A. Honeybees are born with natural dance skills. B. Young bees learn dance from older bees.
C. All insects learn skills through social learning. D. 10-day-old bees have the same dance abilities.
D
Are you afraid of answering the phone?
A topic that has emerged on the Internet recently is why young people dislike answering phone calls, leading to heated discussions.
“Once the phone rings, I become anxious. I put it aside and wait for the other person to hang up,” an Internet user shared her reaction to the phone ringing, one of the most popular ways young people deal with phone calls. However, it was different in the past, when everyone waited in line in front of telephone booths (电话亭) to make calls.
As technology has developed, phones have gained more functions, changing how we communicate. A 2025 report from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that people in China talked on their mobile phones for a total of 2.09 trillion (万亿) minutes. This is 28 percent less than a decade ago, reflecting a shift from talking to texting.
“Compared with text communication, talking on the phone doesn’t give people enough time to think and breathe,” Liu Shuangqing, a cognitive psychologist at China University of Political Science and Law, told Beijing Youth Daily. “This immediate forced participation can make people feel stressed. The initiative (主动权) to participate is also taken away by the caller, making the person answering the phone feel passive. What’s more, people can’t see the facial expressions and body language, but only hear tones and words, which makes the person answering the call overthink the caller’s real meaning.”
Answering the phone is like opening a blind box. It can ring at any time and can bring good news or bad news, which creates a sense of precariousness.
Unlike texting, where people can show their feelings through emojis (表情符号), phone calls miss out on a lot of key information. Albert Mehrabian, a psychologist and communication researcher, found that 55 percent of meaning is communicated through body language, 38 percent through tone of voice and 7 percent through spoken words.
12. What do young people usually think of phone calls?
A. They are major approach to communication. B. They build better relationships with others.
C. They can remove their anxiety in life. D. They put them under great pressure.
13. Why has people’s total phone call time dropped greatly in China?

Lily’s Art Competition Journey
Lily loved painting more than anything else. Since she was a little girl, she had spent every free moment after school, on weekends, or even quiet rainy mornings — with a brush in her hand, losing herself completely in the world of colors. Her bedroom walls were covered with her paintings — beautiful landscapes of distant mountains, cute animals like fluffy rabbits and playful birds, and colorful flowers that looked almost real. However, Lily was very shy. She never showed her paintings to anyone except her parents, as she was deeply afraid of being criticized for her work.
One day, Lily’s school announced that there would be an art competition. The winner would have their painting displayed (展出) in the city’s art museum, a prize that made every student excited. Lily’s parents immediately encouraged her to participate, but she hesitated, her hands tightly gripping her paintbrush. “What if my painting is not good enough?” she asked in a small voice. Her mother smiled softly and patted her shoulder. “No one will laugh at you,” she said gently. “The most important thing is to try your best and share your love for painting.”
After thinking for a long time, Lily finally decided to give it a try. She spent weeks working on her painting, choosing to depict (描绘) the beautiful sunset over the lake near her home — a scene she adored. Every afternoon, she would sit on a small bench by the lake, watching the sky turn from golden yellow to soft pink and pale orange, then rush home to mix paints carefully and brush each stroke with all her heart and soul. When the day of the competition came, Lily took her painting to school and handed it in nervously. That night, she was so anxious that she could barely sleep, replaying every detail of her painting in her mind and wondering if others would like it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A few days later, the results of the competition were announced.

When Lily’s painting was displayed in the art museum, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
