When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I made individual letters into lines again and again, which were delightful but not meaningful.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. I loved it so much that I thought I was good at it. For the art exam, I had to paint an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. I thought I was talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now thought of as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself try real painting. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were print makers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practise.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a woman in red came to me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so real that it shook me. It gave me energy and brought back something I’d lost. Gradually, I started to paint with watercolours. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my fear of oil paints, I have discovered I like chalks and ink better now. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons and sent them to friends. It all feels free and easy. This time, I can accept that I’m not perfect but I keep drawing.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being brave. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and try new things.
4. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam?
A. Scared. B. Discouraged. C. Worried. D. Delightful.
5. In her 30s, the author ______.
A. avoided oil painting practice B. looked for a painting career
C. liked abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings
6. Which word would best describe the author’s dream?
A. Depressing. B. Challenging. C. Uplifting. D. Moving.
7. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Hard work is the mother of success.
C. Dreams are the reflections of realities.
D. Creating arts needs courage and confidence.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了作者从小热爱绘画,中学美术考试失利后变得不自信、畏惧油画创作,中年时一场梦境给予自己勇气,最终重拾绘画、突破内心恐惧,并领悟到艺术创作需要勇气与自信的人生感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. I thought I was talentless.(我考试失利,成绩很低。我曾经过于自信,如今觉得自己毫无天赋。)”可知,作者美术考试失利后,自信心受挫、感到沮丧气馁。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself try real painting. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were print makers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo high form I wasn’t allowed to practise.(三十多岁时,我结识了几位画家朋友,也学会了用全新的视角看待艺术。然而,我不敢尝试真正的绘画。尽管我的这些新朋友是使用油画颜料的抽象画家、版画制作者或雕塑家,我却把油画视作自己绝不可以尝试的禁忌高端艺术形式。)”可知,作者三十多岁时刻意回避油画练习。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“The dream felt so real that it shook me. It gave me energy and brought back something I’d lost.(这个梦境无比真实,深深触动了我。它给予我力量,找回了我曾经遗失的东西。)”可知,这个梦境振奋人心、催人奋进。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Becoming a successful painter calls for being brave. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and try new things.(成为一名成功的画家需要勇气。我意识到自己一直害怕奢求太多。这场梦境提醒我,恐惧和渴望能够激励自己勇于尝试、敢于突破。)”可知,文章告诉我们艺术创作需要勇气和自信。
C
While global youth have generally become happier over the past twenty years, a troubling change has appeared in developed nations. According to the latest World Happiness Report, young people in the United States and several Western European countries are experiencing an obvious drop in well-being. This unexpected downturn has caused heated discussion among researchers trying to identify the causes of this “unhappiness epidemic” in the world’s most wealthy regions.
The primary reason they think is the heavy use of social media. Data suggest that individuals spending over five hours daily on digital platforms report much lower satisfaction. Interestingly, the harm is not the same; teenage girls appear more sensitive (敏感的) to the harmful nature of carefully selected online content. This dissatisfaction often comes from constant social comparison and the pressure to keep an idealized digital image, which brings social exclusion.
However, a question makes the problem harder: why do young people remain on these apps if they feel unhappy? Research directed by Cass Sunstein shows a “peer (同龄人) group” trap. They stay active not out of enjoyment, but out of a fear of being the only one to withdraw (退出). In experiments, students expressed a willingness to pay for their entire peer group to quit social media together, yet they would only stay away from these apps alone if they got a large reward.
To address these challenges, experts suggest a shift in how society views digital engagement (参与). Some argue that social media should be treated as an adult product, given its links to addiction and cyberbullying. Others stress rebuilding offline connections, noting that strong family relationships in certain Central European countries have served as a safeguard against Internet overuse.
Solving this requires more than just removing apps; it demands a cultural change. By setting proper limits online and valuing face-to-face communication more, “Gen Z” can lessen the harm social media does to their mental health. Only by recognizing social media as a tool rather than a social requirement can we recover the lost well-being of the younger generation.
8. What does the “unhappiness epidemic” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Fall in youth’s well-being.
B. Economic downturn.
C. Happiness anxiety around the world.
D. Rapid spread of digital addiction.
9. Why does social media harm teenage girls more?
A. They spend more time on platforms.
B. They fail to find proper digital images.
C. They face pressure from social comparison.
D. They value online content more than real life.
10. What does the research mentioned in paragraph 3 find?
A. Social media has become a pressure for the youth.
B. Peer groups are necessary for digital engagement.
C. Students enjoy staying active with their peers.
D. Individual withdrawal brings a great reward.
11. What is the author’s advice for “Gen Z”?
A. Quit using social media apps slowly.
B. Follow the social requirement strictly.
C. Strengthen offline connection with others.
D. Promote the use of advanced digital tools.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是发达国家年轻人幸福感近年明显下降,社交媒体过度使用是主因,而“同龄人陷阱”让他们难以自行脱离,解决之道在于文化层面的转变而非简单删掉应用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“According to the latest World Happiness Report, young people in the United States and several Western European countries are experiencing an obvious drop in well-being. This unexpected downturn has caused heated discussion among researchers trying to identify the causes of this “unhappiness epidemic” in the world’s most wealthy regions.(根据最新的《世界幸福报告》,美国及多个西欧国家的年轻人正明显感受到幸福感的下降。这一意外的下滑引发了研究人员的热烈讨论,他们试图找出导致全球最富裕地区“不幸福流行病”的原因。)”可知,“unhappiness epidemic”指的是前文提到的青少年幸福感下降。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Interestingly, the harm is not the same; teenage girls appear more sensitive (敏感的) to the harmful nature of carefully selected online content. This dissatisfaction often comes from constant social comparison and the pressure to keep an idealized digital image, which brings social exclusion.(有趣的是,危害并不均等——少女对精心筛选的网络内容的有害性似乎更为敏感。这种不满往往来自持续的社会比较和维持理想化数字形象的压力,由此带来社交排斥。)”可知,社交媒体对青少年女孩的危害更大是因为她们面临来自社会比较的压力。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Research directed by Cass Sunstein shows a “peer (同龄人) group” trap. They stay active not out of enjoyment, but out of a fear of being the only one to withdraw (退出). In experiments, students expressed a willingness to pay for their entire peer group to quit social media together, yet they would only stay away from these apps alone if they got a large reward.(卡斯·桑斯坦主导的研究揭示了一种“同龄人”陷阱。他们保持活跃并非出于享受,而是害怕成为唯一退出的人。实验中,学生表示愿意花钱让整个同龄群体一起退出社交媒体,但如果要自己单独离开,则需要获得丰厚的奖励才肯这么做。)”可知,第三段提到的研究发现了社交媒体已成为对年轻人的一种压力。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Others stress rebuilding offline connections, noting that strong family relationships in certain Central European countries have served as a safeguard against Internet overuse.(另一些人则强调重建线下联系,指出某些中欧国家牢固的家庭关系已成为防止网络过度使用的保障。)”可知,作者对“Z世代”的建议是加强与他人的线下联系。

In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated. So tiny are these nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) that they cannot be seen under a microscope.
“At 1,000th the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small they can migrate and distribute potentially harmful synthetic chemicals throughout the body and into cells,” experts say. “One liter of water contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% were identified as nanoplastics and the rest were microplastics.”
Microplastics are polymer fragments that can range from less than 0.2 inch down to 1/25,000th of an inch. Anything smaller is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter. In the new study, researchers from Columbia University presented a new technology that can see, count and analyze the chemical structure of nanoparticles in bottled water.
Instead of 300 per liter, the team behind the latest study found the actual number of plastic bits in three popular brands of water sold in the United States to be in between 110,000 and 370,000, if not higher. “The innovative new techniques presented in the study open the door for further research to better understand the potential risks to human health,” said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, who was not involved in the study. “Infants and young children may face the greatest risks, as their developing brains and bodies are often more weak to impacts from toxic (有毒的) exposures.”
“Nanoplastics are the most worrisome type of plastic pollution for human health,” experts say. “That’s because the minuscule particles can invade individual cells and tissues in major organs, potentially interrupting cellular processes and depositing endocrine-disrupting chemicals.”
“There are things people can do to reduce their exposure to plastics,” said Houlihan. “We can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials,” Houlihan said. “We can simply take stock of the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever capable.”
12. What do you know about Houlihan?
A. An expert specializing in plastic study.
B. A researcher who invented microscopes.
C. A scientist who presented a new technology.
D. A director who didn’t participate in the study.
13. What can we learn from Para. 4?
A. Bottled water brings nothing but toxic materials to consumers.
B. Babies are unlikely to be affected by nanoparticles for their young age.
C. The plastic bits found in famous bottled water are surprisingly numerous.
D. The potential danger of plastic bits to man has already been dug deep.
14. What does the underlined word “beverages” in the last paragraph mean?
A. drinks B. pills C. nanoparticles D. desserts
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Tiny Nanoparticles, Great Impact
B. Bottled Water, Harmful Nanoplastic
C. Popular Bottled Water, Convenient Life
D. Water Alternatives, Sustainable Development
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍瓶装水中纳米塑料现状,以及潜在危害和避免方式。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“‘The innovative new techniques presented in the study open the door for further research to better understand the potential risks to human health,’ said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, who was not involved in the study. (Bright Futures health Babies的研究主管Jane Houlihan表示:‘研究中提出的创新新技术为进一步研究打开了大门,以更好地了解人类健康的潜在风险。’Jane Houlihan她没有参与这项研究。)”可知,Houlihan是一位没有参与这项研究的主管。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“Instead of 300 per liter, the team behind the latest study found the actual number of plastic bits in three popular brands of water sold in the United States to be in between 110,000 and 370,000, if not higher. (最新研究背后的团队发现,在美国销售的三种流行品牌的水中,塑料碎片的实际数量在110000到370000之间,甚至更高,而不是每升300个。)”可知,在著名的瓶装水中发现的塑料碎片数量惊人。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章最后一段“We can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials (我们可以避免食用塑料容器中的食物和 。我们可以穿天然织物制成的衣服,购买天然材料制成的消费品)”中in plastic containers以及前文所提的“瓶装水”可知,这里指装在塑料瓶里面的“饮料”。所以猜测beverages表“饮品”的意思。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated. So tiny are these nanoparticles(纳米颗粒)that they cannot be seen under a microscope. (在一项新的研究中,研究人员发现,商店里出售的瓶装水含有的塑料比以前估计的多10到100倍。这些纳米粒子太小了,在显微镜下看不见。)”以及下文可知,文章主要介绍瓶装水中纳米塑料现状,以及潜在危害和避免方式。所以B项Bottled Water, Harmful Nanoplastic (瓶装水、有害纳米塑料)符合语境。故选B项。

【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:舞者的右手用拳头、手掌和指尖击打鼓面,而左手则辅助完成动作。由于鼓很长,大多数舞蹈动作都是通过舞者的腿部来完成的,比如下蹲、抬起一条腿以及踢腿等动作。作主语用名词movement,结合are可知为复数。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:无论舞者们是严格遵循傣族的传统,还是创造出新的文化表现形式,一代又一代的傣族象脚鼓舞者都在以各自的方式传承着这一传统艺术。短语in one’s own ways表示“以自己的方式”。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Joseph was the only son of Adam Tan, a well-known former athlete to reach the South Pole in an expedition(探险). Therefore, many people expected and assumed Joseph to be as sporting as his father. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Since he was young, Joseph has been weak. He suffered from asthma(哮喘) and always carried pills. He preferred to read books indoors and was nicknamed “Professor” unkindly in class. He did not seem to mind until his father died unexpectedly on the last mile of an expedition in the Mautu wilderness in Africa. From then on, Joseph turned his attention to sports, devoting himself to building up his body. “I would never disgrace(使丢脸) my father,” he promised.
In December, an expedition in memory of Joseph's father, the former adviser of Joseph's school, was planned. And he immediately signed up and determined to make it.
The expedition to cross a mountain,river, and forest was a real test of the willpower and skills. The last stage was the forest and Joseph was within sight of his target. He had only four more kilometers to cover before he would successfully complete the expedition in the required time. However,Joseph suffered from his asthma again. Noticing his labored breathing, one student asked whether he had any problem. He gave a thumbs-up sign. Just before the last kilometer, his face was pale. Some students gathered around Joseph anxiously and forced him to stop and rest. Behind Joseph was 20 kilometers of wilderness which he had covered. He didn't want to give up halfway. Furthermore, this expedition was in memory of his father and he was eager to be his father's pride. However, his asthma made it hard for him to carry on.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为120左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的和相应位置作答。
At the moment, the weak boy was in a great dilemma.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, Joseph arrived at the destination.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At the moment, the weak boy was in a great dilemma. He raised his head, noticing the great worry on the faces of the students that all suggested that he give up the expedition and tried the next time. Suddenly, he heard a voice saying that believe in yourself and never surrender, and in the end you will see a miracle. He knew it was the words from his father. It was just at the moment that Joseph made up his mind to continue his journey. He loosened his collar, took some pills and breathed the air rich in oxygen. Completing these, he felt much better and had a firm belief that he was able to make it. He set off again with the belief. Despite all the hardships, he kept moving just as his father once said.
Finally, Joseph arrived at the destination. Worn out and dyspneic as he was, he smiled brightly. He did make it and didn’t disgrace his father. He knew it was his father who led him to reach here. He was sure that he would never forget this expedition. In his later life, he inherited the spirit of his father and kept exceeding himself. No matter what he was faced with, the positive attitude he learned from the expedition helped him get through. Just as people expected, he grew to be not only as sporting as his father but also as determined as him.
【解析】

When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I made individual letters into lines again and again, which were delightful but not meaningful.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. I loved it so much that I thought I was good at it. For the art exam, I had to paint an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. I thought I was talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now thought of as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself try real painting. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were print makers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practise.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a woman in red came to me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so real that it shook me. It gave me energy and brought back something I’d lost. Gradually, I started to paint with watercolours. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my fear of oil paints, I have discovered I like chalks and ink better now. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons and sent them to friends. It all feels free and easy. This time, I can accept that I’m not perfect but I keep drawing.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being brave. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and try new things.
4. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam?
A. Scared. B. Discouraged. C. Worried. D. Delightful.
5. In her 30s, the author ______.
A. avoided oil painting practice B. looked for a painting career
C. liked abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings
6. Which word would best describe the author’s dream?
A. Depressing. B. Challenging. C. Uplifting. D. Moving.
7. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Hard work is the mother of success.
C. Dreams are the reflections of realities.
D. Creating arts needs courage and confidence.
C
While global youth have generally become happier over the past twenty years, a troubling change has appeared in developed nations. According to the latest World Happiness Report, young people in the United States and several Western European countries are experiencing an obvious drop in well-being. This unexpected downturn has caused heated discussion among researchers trying to identify the causes of this “unhappiness epidemic” in the world’s most wealthy regions.
The primary reason they think is the heavy use of social media. Data suggest that individuals spending over five hours daily on digital platforms report much lower satisfaction. Interestingly, the harm is not the same; teenage girls appear more sensitive (敏感的) to the harmful nature of carefully selected online content. This dissatisfaction often comes from constant social comparison and the pressure to keep an idealized digital image, which brings social exclusion.
However, a question makes the problem harder: why do young people remain on these apps if they feel unhappy? Research directed by Cass Sunstein shows a “peer (同龄人) group” trap. They stay active not out of enjoyment, but out of a fear of being the only one to withdraw (退出). In experiments, students expressed a willingness to pay for their entire peer group to quit social media together, yet they would only stay away from these apps alone if they got a large reward.
To address these challenges, experts suggest a shift in how society views digital engagement (参与). Some argue that social media should be treated as an adult product, given its links to addiction and cyberbullying. Others stress rebuilding offline connections, noting that strong family relationships in certain Central European countries have served as a safeguard against Internet overuse.
Solving this requires more than just removing apps; it demands a cultural change. By setting proper limits online and valuing face-to-face communication more, “Gen Z” can lessen the harm social media does to their mental health. Only by recognizing social media as a tool rather than a social requirement can we recover the lost well-being of the younger generation.
8. What does the “unhappiness epidemic” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Fall in youth’s well-being.
B. Economic downturn.
C. Happiness anxiety around the world.
D. Rapid spread of digital addiction.
9. Why does social media harm teenage girls more?
A. They spend more time on platforms.
B. They fail to find proper digital images.
C. They face pressure from social comparison.
D. They value online content more than real life.
10. What does the research mentioned in paragraph 3 find?
A. Social media has become a pressure for the youth.
B. Peer groups are necessary for digital engagement.
C. Students enjoy staying active with their peers.
D. Individual withdrawal brings a great reward.
11. What is the author’s advice for “Gen Z”?
A. Quit using social media apps slowly.
B. Follow the social requirement strictly.
C. Strengthen offline connection with others.
D. Promote the use of advanced digital tools.

In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated. So tiny are these nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) that they cannot be seen under a microscope.
“At 1,000th the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small they can migrate and distribute potentially harmful synthetic chemicals throughout the body and into cells,” experts say. “One liter of water contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% were identified as nanoplastics and the rest were microplastics.”
Microplastics are polymer fragments that can range from less than 0.2 inch down to 1/25,000th of an inch. Anything smaller is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter. In the new study, researchers from Columbia University presented a new technology that can see, count and analyze the chemical structure of nanoparticles in bottled water.
Instead of 300 per liter, the team behind the latest study found the actual number of plastic bits in three popular brands of water sold in the United States to be in between 110,000 and 370,000, if not higher. “The innovative new techniques presented in the study open the door for further research to better understand the potential risks to human health,” said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, who was not involved in the study. “Infants and young children may face the greatest risks, as their developing brains and bodies are often more weak to impacts from toxic (有毒的) exposures.”
“Nanoplastics are the most worrisome type of plastic pollution for human health,” experts say. “That’s because the minuscule particles can invade individual cells and tissues in major organs, potentially interrupting cellular processes and depositing endocrine-disrupting chemicals.”
“There are things people can do to reduce their exposure to plastics,” said Houlihan. “We can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials,” Houlihan said. “We can simply take stock of the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever capable.”
12. What do you know about Houlihan?

Joseph was the only son of Adam Tan, a well-known former athlete to reach the South Pole in an expedition(探险). Therefore, many people expected and assumed Joseph to be as sporting as his father. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Since he was young, Joseph has been weak. He suffered from asthma(哮喘) and always carried pills. He preferred to read books indoors and was nicknamed “Professor” unkindly in class. He did not seem to mind until his father died unexpectedly on the last mile of an expedition in the Mautu wilderness in Africa. From then on, Joseph turned his attention to sports, devoting himself to building up his body. “I would never disgrace(使丢脸) my father,” he promised.
In December, an expedition in memory of Joseph's father, the former adviser of Joseph's school, was planned. And he immediately signed up and determined to make it.
The expedition to cross a mountain,river, and forest was a real test of the willpower and skills. The last stage was the forest and Joseph was within sight of his target. He had only four more kilometers to cover before he would successfully complete the expedition in the required time. However,Joseph suffered from his asthma again. Noticing his labored breathing, one student asked whether he had any problem. He gave a thumbs-up sign. Just before the last kilometer, his face was pale. Some students gathered around Joseph anxiously and forced him to stop and rest. Behind Joseph was 20 kilometers of wilderness which he had covered. He didn't want to give up halfway. Furthermore, this expedition was in memory of his father and he was eager to be his father's pride. However, his asthma made it hard for him to carry on.
