I have always been the quiet type. In class, I would shrink into my seat whenever the teacher looked around for someone to answer a question. My face would flush, my palms would sweat, and my voice would drop to barely a whisper. Public speaking was my greatest fear.
So when my English teacher recommended me for the school’s annual English speech contest in my second year of high school, I felt as if the ground had opened beneath my feet. The contest was a big deal — students from all grades would be watching, and the pressure felt unbearable. I seriously considered refusing, but my teacher saw my hesitation and sat down with me.
“I’m not asking you to be the loudest speaker,” she said gently. “I’m asking you to share what you truly care about. Stop thinking about how you appear to others. Instead, focus completely on the message you want to deliver. If you believe in your words, the audience will feel it.”
Those words struck me deeply. I decided to write about my grandmother’s struggle with losing her eyesight and how she taught me to “see” the world through patience and kindness. For weeks, I practiced alone in my room, then in the park in front of strangers. At first, my voice trembled and I stumbled over my lines. But gradually, as I fixed my mind on my grandmother’s story rather than my own anxiety, the words began to flow more naturally.
On the day of the contest, standing backstage, I felt the familiar wave of panic. My legs felt weak and my heart was racing. But as I walked onto the stage and saw the crowd, I took a deep breath and reminded myself: This is not about me. This is about her story.
I spoke for five minutes. When I finished, the hall erupted into applause — not because I had delivered a perfect performance, but because I had shared something real. I didn’t win the first prize, but I won something far greater: the courage to step beyond my comfort zone. That experience taught me that growth does not come from avoiding fear, but from moving through it with a purpose larger than oneself.
24. Why did the author want to refuse the contest?
A. He had little experience in writing formal speeches.
B. He cared too much about others’ judgement.
C. He thought the contest was not worth his time.
D. He had a poor relationship with his English teacher.
25. What was the teacher’s key advice to the author?
A. To practice in front of as many strangers as possible.
B. To write a speech about a family member.
C. To prioritize the content over performance.
D. To memorize the speech before the contest.
26. What can we know about the author?
A. He calmed himself by focusing on the story.
B. He performed perfectly on the day of contest.
C. He won the first prize in the speech contest.
D. He stumbled over because his leg felt weak.
27. What is the main lesson the author learns from the experience?
A. Winning first prize is the only measure of success.
B. True courage is found when we have no fear at all.
C. Personal growth means facing fears with a purpose.
D. Teachers’ recommendations should never be rejected.
C
For decades, urban planners have operated under a simple assumption: more roads mean less traffic. The logic seems unquestionable — if you build more infrastructure for cars, congestion (拥堵) should decrease. Yet a growing body of evidence suggests that this assumption is not only wrong but dangerously counterproductive. This phenomenon, known as “induced demand,” reveals that building more roads actually encourages more driving, ultimately worsening the very problem it was meant to solve.
The mechanism is deceptively simple. When a new highway is constructed or an existing one is expanded, travel times initially decrease. This improved efficiency attracts new drivers — people who previously avoided the route, chose alternative transportation, or traveled at different times. Over time, as more drivers flock to the improved road, congestion returns, often to levels worse than before. It is a classic case of a solution creating its own failure.
Consider the case of Houston, Texas, which expanded its Katy Freeway from six to twenty-six lanes — one of the widest highways in the world. The project cost nearly $3 billion and was glorified as a cure for the city’s traffic jams. Within a few years, however, commute times on the expanded freeway were longer than they had been before the construction began.
The implications of this phenomenon extend far beyond traffic congestion. Induced demand has significant environmental consequences. More driving means more carbon emissions, undermining efforts to combat climate change. It also encourages urban sprawl (蔓延), as improved road access makes it feasible to live farther from city centers, which in turn creates more dependence on automobiles. This cycle of expansion and congestion locks cities into an unsustainable pattern of development.
So what is the alternative? A growing number of urban planners are advocating for a shift away from the car-centric model toward investment in public transportation, cycling infrastructure, and pedestrian-friendly design. The key, these planners argue, is to recognize that transportation is not merely about moving vehicles — it is about connecting communities.
The challenge, of course, is political. Road expansion projects are visible, tangible, and easy to celebrate. Public transit investments, by contrast, are often less fascinating and take longer to show results. But as the evidence against induced demand continues to mount, policymakers may find it increasingly difficult to justify the old approach. The road to better cities, it seems, does not lie in building more roads.
28. What does the term “induced demand” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The public’s demand for better public transportation.
B. The increase in driving caused by expanded road capacity.
C. The government’s demand for more road construction funds.
D. The decrease in traffic after new highways are built.
29. Why does the author mention the Katy Freeway in Houston?
A. To show that highway expansion can successfully reduce traffic.
B. To argue that Texas has the worst traffic in the world.
C. To provide an example of the induced demand phenomenon.
D. To suggest that $3 billion was wasted on the project.
30. Which is one environmental consequence of induced demand?
A. Reduced carbon emissions due to better traffic flow.
B. Decreased dependence on automobiles in cities.
C. Less urban sprawl because of improved road access.
D. More driving leading to increased carbon emissions.
31. What’s the author’s attitude toward road expansion projects?
A. Critically doubtful.
B. Cautiously optimistic.
C. Strongly supportive.
D. Completely neutral.
D
Scientists have given artificial intelligence (AI) the capacity to “feel” surfaces for the first time, opening up a new dimension for applying the technology in the real world.
Tapping into quantum (量子) science, the researchers combined a scanning laser (激光) with a new AI model trained to distinguish different surfaces from laser images. The system sends very brief light signals onto a surface and analyses the reflected light, which contains grain-like noise, a type of imperfection that emerges in imagery. This is normally considered detrimental to imaging, but in this case the researchers used AI to interpret them, allowing the system to identify the surface structure. “This is a marriage of AI and quantum,” said Daniel Tafone of New Jersey’s Stevens Institute of Technology.
The team tested 31 types of industrial sandpaper with roughness ranging from 1 to 100 micro metres, with the roughest about the width of a human hair. They then set up the system, which used a laser that sent out extremely short light bursts — one trillion (兆) of these bursts equal one second. The light signals passed through sending and receiving units, hit the sandpaper, and bounced back for AI analysis. The reflected light came from different points on the surface and was counted by a highly sensitive light detector. The system achieved an average error of roughly 8 micro metres — but this improved to just 4 micro metres after the AI worked with multiple samples. This is roughly in line with the accuracy of surface-measuring devices currently in use. “Interestingly, our system performed best on the finest surfaces, such as diamond polishing film,” Tafone said. These materials are often used on sand paper for specific applications.
The scientists said that the new method could serve multiple purposes, including in medical contexts to detect the thickness of moles (痣) that may be the indicator of skin cancer. “Tiny differences in mole roughness, too small to see with the human eye but measurable with our proposed quantum system, could distinguish between those conditions,” said Yuping Huang, director of the Stevens’ Centrefor Quantum Science and Engineering. “Quantum interactions provide a wealth of information; using AI to quickly understand and process it is the next logical step.”
32. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Identical. B. Crucial. C. Relevant. D. Damaging.
33. What can we learn about the system?
A. It had highly improved accuracy. B. It greatly enhanced AI’s sensitivity.
C. It worked hard on polishing surfaces. D. It analysed sandpaper more efficiently.
34. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning moles in Paragraph 4?
A. The underlying cause of skin cancer. B. The visual limitation of the human eye.
C. The high effectiveness of medical assistance. D. The potential application of the new method.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Quantum Unlocks Massive Possibilities in Medicine
B. Quantum-Powered AI Feels and Measures Surfaces
C. New Laser Technology Enhances Sandpaper Quality
D. AI-Driven Technology Transforms the Imaging Field
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Pay close attention to how you describe your daily life. I am not referring to your formal presentations; rather, I mean those casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” ____36____ In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path.
You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. ____37____ And your brain does not understand self-deprecating (自嘲), nor can it tell when you are simply joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient (顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word coming out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You are repeatedly complaining “I am completely stuck.” ____38____ So it stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.
____39____ Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle shift in language is far more than just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset, shifting your identity from a passive victim to an active creator.
It is time to take what you say seriously. ____40____ Stop using your voice to curse (诅咒) the promising life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree!
A. When your current reality looks depressing, use negative.
B. You are putting huge pressure on your friends around you.
C. Many brilliant people live by a value system of self-encouragement.
D. Your words function as the invisible architecture shaping your reality.
E. Accordingly, your brain shuts down its creative problem-solving centers.
F. You might assume you are merely complaining to your friends or to yourself.
G. Nevertheless, negative language patterns fail to make the suffering hurt less.

67. 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。
I stared at the messy pile of bamboo strips (竹片) on the table, my fingers sore and stiff, my heart flooded with sinking frustration. For weeks, I’d been trying patiently to learn traditional bamboo weaving from Grandma, yet every single careless attempt ended in a tangled (缠绕的), disorderly mess.
Grandma was a well-known master weaver in our small community; her rough aged hands moved nimbly (灵巧地) and skillfully, turning plain ordinary bamboo strips into delicate baskets, beautiful folding fans, and even vivid cute small animal figurines (小雕像). The time-honored craft had been passed down in our family for generations, carrying plain simple warmth and precious traditional folk wisdom.
“Patience, little one,” Grandma would always say softly, smiling gently as she patiently reworked my failed clumsy pieces little by little. “Bamboo listens only to a calm and peaceful heart.” But I was far too eager and restless to prove myself. The school’s Cultural Heritage Fair was coming in just three days, and I had proudly promised my classmates that I would bring a fine unique handwoven bamboo artwork to share. The moment I thought about those expecting eyes, my eyes burned hot with gathering helpless tears.
That afternoon, I stormed angrily into the quiet yard, throwing my rough half-finished basket heavily on the green grass. “It’s useless! I’ll never get it right no matter how hard I try!” I shouted loudly, kicking a thin bamboo strip across the soft lawn. Surprisingly, Grandma did not scold my bad temper at all. She just sat quietly on her old wooden chair, weaving a lovely small bamboo bird with steady, unhurried fingers. After a long peaceful silence, she raised her head, looked at me gently and said in a warm soft voice, “Let’s walk by the stream behind our house. The bamboo growing there has much to teach you.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
We walked slowly to the stream, where tall green bamboo danced gracefully in the wind.

【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Good evening, everyone. In tonight’s program, let’s talk about the American chestnut. At one time, the American chestnut was among the most widespread trees in the eastern United States. The wood was used to cover the walls of homes and schools. The leaves helped add nutrients to the soil. And men on street corners sold chestnuts cooked over an open fire. However, in the late 19th century, some East Asian varieties of chestnut trees brought to the US carried a disease that killed almost all American chestnuts. The disease harms them when the small trees start to develop fully, while East Asian varieties are resistant to it. Researchers have tried to save American chestnuts by cross-breeding, or mixing them with one kind of Chinese chestnut that can fight off the disease. The trees the researchers have grown could not resist the disease well enough to become large and healthy trees. That is why scientists are now trying to combine two methods: cross-breeding and genetically changing the genes of American chestnut trees.
A scientific team concluded a changing climate and warmer temperatures may also make restoring the chestnut difficult in some areas. For now, researchers know their work might not be successful in their lifetimes. The process has been slow. Linda McGuigan helped support the research for years. She said, “The project moves on, lives on. I want to do something good for the future, for my children.”

B
I have always been the quiet type. In class, I would shrink into my seat whenever the teacher looked around for someone to answer a question. My face would flush, my palms would sweat, and my voice would drop to barely a whisper. Public speaking was my greatest fear.
So when my English teacher recommended me for the school’s annual English speech contest in my second year of high school, I felt as if the ground had opened beneath my feet. The contest was a big deal — students from all grades would be watching, and the pressure felt unbearable. I seriously considered refusing, but my teacher saw my hesitation and sat down with me.
“I’m not asking you to be the loudest speaker,” she said gently. “I’m asking you to share what you truly care about. Stop thinking about how you appear to others. Instead, focus completely on the message you want to deliver. If you believe in your words, the audience will feel it.”
Those words struck me deeply. I decided to write about my grandmother’s struggle with losing her eyesight and how she taught me to “see” the world through patience and kindness. For weeks, I practiced alone in my room, then in the park in front of strangers. At first, my voice trembled and I stumbled over my lines. But gradually, as I fixed my mind on my grandmother’s story rather than my own anxiety, the words began to flow more naturally.
On the day of the contest, standing backstage, I felt the familiar wave of panic. My legs felt weak and my heart was racing. But as I walked onto the stage and saw the crowd, I took a deep breath and reminded myself: This is not about me. This is about her story.
I spoke for five minutes. When I finished, the hall erupted into applause — not because I had delivered a perfect performance, but because I had shared something real. I didn’t win the first prize, but I won something far greater: the courage to step beyond my comfort zone. That experience taught me that growth does not come from avoiding fear, but from moving through it with a purpose larger than oneself.
24. Why did the author want to refuse the contest?
A. He had little experience in writing formal speeches.
B. He cared too much about others’ judgement.
C. He thought the contest was not worth his time.
D. He had a poor relationship with his English teacher.
25. What was the teacher’s key advice to the author?
A. To practice in front of as many strangers as possible.
B. To write a speech about a family member.
C. To prioritize the content over performance.
D. To memorize the speech before the contest.
26. What can we know about the author?
A. He calmed himself by focusing on the story.
B. He performed perfectly on the day of contest.
C. He won the first prize in the speech contest.
D. He stumbled over because his leg felt weak.
27. What is the main lesson the author learns from the experience?
A. Winning first prize is the only measure of success.
B. True courage is found when we have no fear at all.
C. Personal growth means facing fears with a purpose.
D. Teachers’ recommendations should never be rejected.

C
For decades, urban planners have operated under a simple assumption: more roads mean less traffic. The logic seems unquestionable — if you build more infrastructure for cars, congestion (拥堵) should decrease. Yet a growing body of evidence suggests that this assumption is not only wrong but dangerously counterproductive. This phenomenon, known as “induced demand,” reveals that building more roads actually encourages more driving, ultimately worsening the very problem it was meant to solve.
The mechanism is deceptively simple. When a new highway is constructed or an existing one is expanded, travel times initially decrease. This improved efficiency attracts new drivers — people who previously avoided the route, chose alternative transportation, or traveled at different times. Over time, as more drivers flock to the improved road, congestion returns, often to levels worse than before. It is a classic case of a solution creating its own failure.
Consider the case of Houston, Texas, which expanded its Katy Freeway from six to twenty-six lanes — one of the widest highways in the world. The project cost nearly $3 billion and was glorified as a cure for the city’s traffic jams. Within a few years, however, commute times on the expanded freeway were longer than they had been before the construction began.
The implications of this phenomenon extend far beyond traffic congestion. Induced demand has significant environmental consequences. More driving means more carbon emissions, undermining efforts to combat climate change. It also encourages urban sprawl (蔓延), as improved road access makes it feasible to live farther from city centers, which in turn creates more dependence on automobiles. This cycle of expansion and congestion locks cities into an unsustainable pattern of development.
So what is the alternative? A growing number of urban planners are advocating for a shift away from the car-centric model toward investment in public transportation, cycling infrastructure, and pedestrian-friendly design. The key, these planners argue, is to recognize that transportation is not merely about moving vehicles — it is about connecting communities.
The challenge, of course, is political. Road expansion projects are visible, tangible, and easy to celebrate. Public transit investments, by contrast, are often less fascinating and take longer to show results. But as the evidence against induced demand continues to mount, policymakers may find it increasingly difficult to justify the old approach. The road to better cities, it seems, does not lie in building more roads.
28. What does the term “induced demand” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The public’s demand for better public transportation.
B. The increase in driving caused by expanded road capacity.
C. The government’s demand for more road construction funds.
D. The decrease in traffic after new highways are built.
29. Why does the author mention the Katy Freeway in Houston?
A. To show that highway expansion can successfully reduce traffic.
B. To argue that Texas has the worst traffic in the world.
C. To provide an example of the induced demand phenomenon.
D. To suggest that $3 billion was wasted on the project.
30. Which is one environmental consequence of induced demand?
A. Reduced carbon emissions due to better traffic flow.
B. Decreased dependence on automobiles in cities.
C. Less urban sprawl because of improved road access.
D. More driving leading to increased carbon emissions.
31. What’s the author’s attitude toward road expansion projects?
A. Critically doubtful.
B. Cautiously optimistic.
C. Strongly supportive.
D. Completely neutral.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了道路扩建反而加剧交通拥堵的“诱导需求”现象及其影响。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“This phenomenon, known as “induced demand,” reveals that building more roads actually encourages more driving, ultimately worsening the very problem it was meant to solve.(这一现象被称为“induced demand”,它揭示了修建更多道路实际上会促使更多人开车,最终反而加剧了它本应解决的问题)”可知,“induced demand”指的是道路容量扩大引发的驾车出行量增加。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Consider the case of Houston, Texas, which expanded its Katy Freeway from six to twenty-six lanes — one of the widest highways in the world.(以德克萨斯州休斯顿为例,该市将凯蒂高速公路从6车道扩建至26车道——这是世界上最宽的高速公路之一)”和“Within a few years, however, commute times on the expanded freeway were longer than they had been before the construction began.(然而几年内,扩建后高速公路的通勤时间比施工前还要长)”可知,作者提及休斯顿凯蒂高速公路是为了提供“诱导需求”现象的实际例证。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Induced demand has significant environmental consequences. More driving means more carbon emissions, undermining efforts to combat climate change.(诱导需求带来了重大的环境后果。更多的驾驶意味着更多的碳排放,削弱了应对气候变化的努力)”可知,诱导需求的环境后果之一是更多驾驶导致碳排放增加。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But as the evidence against induced demand continues to mount, policymakers may find it increasingly difficult to justify the old approach. The road to better cities, it seems, does not lie in building more roads.(但随着反对诱导需求的证据不断增多,政策制定者可能会发现越来越难以证明旧方法的合理性。看来,建设更美好城市的道路并不在于修建更多的道路)”可知,作者对道路扩建项目持批判怀疑的态度。
D
Scientists have given artificial intelligence (AI) the capacity to “feel” surfaces for the first time, opening up a new dimension for applying the technology in the real world.
Tapping into quantum (量子) science, the researchers combined a scanning laser (激光) with a new AI model trained to distinguish different surfaces from laser images. The system sends very brief light signals onto a surface and analyses the reflected light, which contains grain-like noise, a type of imperfection that emerges in imagery. This is normally considered detrimental to imaging, but in this case the researchers used AI to interpret them, allowing the system to identify the surface structure. “This is a marriage of AI and quantum,” said Daniel Tafone of New Jersey’s Stevens Institute of Technology.
The team tested 31 types of industrial sandpaper with roughness ranging from 1 to 100 micro metres, with the roughest about the width of a human hair. They then set up the system, which used a laser that sent out extremely short light bursts — one trillion (兆) of these bursts equal one second. The light signals passed through sending and receiving units, hit the sandpaper, and bounced back for AI analysis. The reflected light came from different points on the surface and was counted by a highly sensitive light detector. The system achieved an average error of roughly 8 micro metres — but this improved to just 4 micro metres after the AI worked with multiple samples. This is roughly in line with the accuracy of surface-measuring devices currently in use. “Interestingly, our system performed best on the finest surfaces, such as diamond polishing film,” Tafone said. These materials are often used on sand paper for specific applications.
The scientists said that the new method could serve multiple purposes, including in medical contexts to detect the thickness of moles (痣) that may be the indicator of skin cancer. “Tiny differences in mole roughness, too small to see with the human eye but measurable with our proposed quantum system, could distinguish between those conditions,” said Yuping Huang, director of the Stevens’ Centrefor Quantum Science and Engineering. “Quantum interactions provide a wealth of information; using AI to quickly understand and process it is the next logical step.”
32. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Identical. B. Crucial. C. Relevant. D. Damaging.
33. What can we learn about the system?
A. It had highly improved accuracy. B. It greatly enhanced AI’s sensitivity.
C. It worked hard on polishing surfaces. D. It analysed sandpaper more efficiently.
34. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning moles in Paragraph 4?
A. The underlying cause of skin cancer. B. The visual limitation of the human eye.
C. The high effectiveness of medical assistance. D. The potential application of the new method.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Quantum Unlocks Massive Possibilities in Medicine
B. Quantum-Powered AI Feels and Measures Surfaces
C. New Laser Technology Enhances Sandpaper Quality
D. AI-Driven Technology Transforms the Imaging Field
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍科学家将量子科学与人工智能结合,研发出可感知、测量物体表面的新型系统,介绍了该系统的工作原理、测试精度以及在医疗等领域的潜在应用价值。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The system sends very brief light signals onto a surface and analyses the reflected light, which contains grain-like noise, a type of imperfection that emerges in imagery. This is normally considered detrimental to imaging, but in this case the researchers used AI to interpret them, allowing the system to identify the surface structure.(系统向表面发送极短的光信号并分析反射光,反射光包含颗粒状噪音——一种图像中出现的瑕疵。这种噪音通常被认为对成像detrimental,但研究人员利用AI解读它,使系统能识别表面结构。)”可知,“this”指代“颗粒状噪音”,而“but”表转折,后文说研究人员反而利用它,因此前文应表示噪音对成像“有害”。“detrimental”意为“有害的”,与“Damaging”意思一致。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The system achieved an average error of roughly 8 micro metres — but this improved to just 4 micro metres after the AI worked with multiple samples(该系统初始平均误差约8微米,经过人工智能处理多组样本后,误差降至4微米)”可知,这套系统的检测精准度得到了大幅提升。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The scientists said that the new method could serve multiple purposes, including in medical contexts to detect the thickness of moles (痣) that may be the indicator of skin cancer.(科学家表示,这种新方法用途广泛,可应用于医疗领域,检测可预示皮肤癌的痣的厚度)”可知,作者列举检测痣的例子,是为了证明这项新技术拥有广泛的潜在应用场景。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章首段“Scientists have given artificial intelligence (AI) the capacity to “feel” surfaces for the first time, opening up a new dimension for applying the technology in the real world(科学家首次赋予人工智能感知物体表面的能力,为该技术在现实世界的应用开辟了新维度)”以及全文围绕量子科学结合人工智能、精准测量物体表面粗糙度并拓展多领域应用展开可知,文章核心是介绍量子技术赋能的AI可感知、测量物体表面,选项B“Quantum-Powered AI Feels and Measures Surfaces(量子驱动的AI感知并测量表面)”准确概括了核心内容,适合用作标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Pay close attention to how you describe your daily life. I am not referring to your formal presentations; rather, I mean those casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” ____36____ In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path.
You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. ____37____ And your brain does not understand self-deprecating (自嘲), nor can it tell when you are simply joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient (顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word coming out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You are repeatedly complaining “I am completely stuck.” ____38____ So it stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.
____39____ Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle shift in language is far more than just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset, shifting your identity from a passive victim to an active creator.
It is time to take what you say seriously. ____40____ Stop using your voice to curse (诅咒) the promising life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree!
A. When your current reality looks depressing, use negative.
B. You are putting huge pressure on your friends around you.
C. Many brilliant people live by a value system of self-encouragement.
D. Your words function as the invisible architecture shaping your reality.
E. Accordingly, your brain shuts down its creative problem-solving centers.
F. You might assume you are merely complaining to your friends or to yourself.
G. Nevertheless, negative language patterns fail to make the suffering hurt less.
【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. C 40. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了消极语言会潜移默化塑造现实,应替换为积极表达,以重塑思维,从被动受害者转为主动创造者。
【36题详解】
上文“Pay close attention to how you describe your daily life. I am not referring to your formal presentations; rather, I mean those casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.”(密切关注你如何描述日常生活。我不是指你的正式演讲;而是指那些随意的、随口而出的抱怨。“我的运气简直糟透了。”“我再也应付不了这个了。”)”列举了日常生活中常见的消极抱怨。空后“In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path.(事实上,你是在给自己的人生道路施加黑暗的咒语)”揭示了这种抱怨的本质危害。空处承上启下,指出人们对这种抱怨行为的错误认知。选项F“You might assume you are merely complaining to your friends or to yourself.(你可能以为你只是在对朋友或对自己抱怨)”承接上文的具体抱怨行为,并引出下文对其真实危害的揭露,符合语境。
【37题详解】
上文“You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment.(你认为表现得像个悲观的失败者能保护你免受失望的伤害)”阐述了人们持有消极态度的错误动机。空后“And your brain does not understand self-deprecating(自嘲), nor can it tell when you are simply joking.(而且你的大脑无法理解自嘲,也无法分辨你何时只是在开玩笑)”解释了大脑处理语言的机械性。空处位于段中,需起到转折作用,否定前文的错误假设。选项G“Nevertheless, negative language patterns fail to make the suffering hurt less.(然而,消极的语言模式并不能减轻痛苦)”直接反驳了前文“保护你免受失望”的错误观点,并与后文大脑无法分辨真假的科学解释相衔接,符合语境。
【38题详解】
上文“You are repeatedly complaining “I am completely stuck.”(你反复抱怨“我完全被困住了”)”描述了消极的自我暗示。空后“So it stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.(所以它停止寻找出口,因为你已经宣布没有出口了)”描述了大脑的顺从反应。空处位于段中,需建立“抱怨”与“大脑停止工作”之间的因果逻辑。选项E“Accordingly, your brain shuts down its creative problem-solving centers.(相应地,你的大脑关闭了其创造性解决问题的中心)”中的“Accordingly”表明这是对前文抱怨行为的直接后果描述,完美衔接后文大脑停止寻找解决方案的行为,符合语境。
【39题详解】
空后“Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?”(他们会说“我正在高负荷运转”,而不是“我快被压力压垮了”。他们用“这想教会我什么?”来代替“为什么这发生在我身上?”)”列举了成功人士积极语言的例子。空处位于段首,是本段的主题句。选项C“Many brilliant people live by a value system of self-encouragement.(许多杰出人士奉行自我鼓励的价值体系)”概括了本段的核心内容,统领后文关于积极语言的具体例证,符合语境。
【40题详解】
上文“It is time to take what you say seriously.(是时候认真对待你所说的话了)”发出了改变的号召。空后“Stop using your voice to curse(诅咒)the promising life you are trying to build.(停止用你的声音诅咒你正努力建设的美好人生)”强调了语言的力量。空处位于段中,需进一步阐释语言与现实的关系。选项D“Your words function as the invisible architecture shaping your reality.(你的言语就像是塑造你现实的隐形架构)”深刻总结了全文主旨,解释了为何要认真对待语言,并与后文“诅咒人生”的表述形成鲜明对比,符合语境。

【导语】文章主要讲述“共享农场”兴起,让都市人体验农耕乐趣,促进城乡融合与乡村可持续发展。
【56题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:曾经尤其是退休人员的一种休闲方式,如今甚至正成为年轻市民逃离繁忙都市生活、走进农田并全身心投入农事劳作的理想途径。空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指事物,故用连接代词What引导,且位于句首首字母大写。
【57题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:曾经尤其是退休人员的一种休闲方式,如今甚至正成为年轻市民逃离繁忙都市生活、走进农田并全身心投入农事劳作的理想途径。固定搭配bury oneself in...意为“专心致志于……”,空处需用they的反身代词themselves,作bury的宾语。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意:如今,随着“共享农场”的兴起,这一梦想已成为现实,而这一概念近年来在中国众多城市迅速走红。根据时间状语in recent years可知,本句应用现在完成时;定语从句中主语that(指代a concept)为单数,故助动词用has,故填入has exploded。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:该术语指的是一种做法:农村土地所有者将闲置地块出租给城市居民,并提供专业协助帮助他们种植和管理作物。根据空前形容词professional可知,空处需用assist的名词形式assistance“帮助,协助”,作provide的宾语,且assistance为不可数名词。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:作为回报,城市居民承担播种和照料的日常责任,最终收获农产品供自己食用。空处需用副词ultimately“最终地”修饰现在分词harvesting,作状语。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:通过共享农场,参与者能够获得物质与精神的双重富足。固定搭配gain access to...意为“获得进入/使用……的机会/权利”,故空处填介词to。
【62题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:除了个人满足感外,这种模式还具有远为重要的意义。根据空前副词far及语境“Beyond individual satisfaction”可知,此处表示比较含义,故用形容词great的比较级greater,修饰名词significance。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着农业文化与现代生活相融合,共享农场还能刺激消费、缩小城乡差距,从而促进乡村振兴。句中已有谓语动词boost和narrow,facilitate“促进”在句中作结果状语,与前面整个句子构成逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词facilitating。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:通过满足人们更深层次、更本质的需求,全新的消费场景与创新商业模式得以开辟,这些模式植根于对可持续发展的追求。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词consumption settings and innovative business models,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词which引导。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如今,有机生活已演化为一种生活哲学,将都市人与自然相连,推广一种更具可持续性的生活方式。空处修饰可数名词单数way,表示泛指,且more以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。

67. 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。
I stared at the messy pile of bamboo strips (竹片) on the table, my fingers sore and stiff, my heart flooded with sinking frustration. For weeks, I’d been trying patiently to learn traditional bamboo weaving from Grandma, yet every single careless attempt ended in a tangled (缠绕的), disorderly mess.
Grandma was a well-known master weaver in our small community; her rough aged hands moved nimbly (灵巧地) and skillfully, turning plain ordinary bamboo strips into delicate baskets, beautiful folding fans, and even vivid cute small animal figurines (小雕像). The time-honored craft had been passed down in our family for generations, carrying plain simple warmth and precious traditional folk wisdom.
“Patience, little one,” Grandma would always say softly, smiling gently as she patiently reworked my failed clumsy pieces little by little. “Bamboo listens only to a calm and peaceful heart.” But I was far too eager and restless to prove myself. The school’s Cultural Heritage Fair was coming in just three days, and I had proudly promised my classmates that I would bring a fine unique handwoven bamboo artwork to share. The moment I thought about those expecting eyes, my eyes burned hot with gathering helpless tears.
That afternoon, I stormed angrily into the quiet yard, throwing my rough half-finished basket heavily on the green grass. “It’s useless! I’ll never get it right no matter how hard I try!” I shouted loudly, kicking a thin bamboo strip across the soft lawn. Surprisingly, Grandma did not scold my bad temper at all. She just sat quietly on her old wooden chair, weaving a lovely small bamboo bird with steady, unhurried fingers. After a long peaceful silence, she raised her head, looked at me gently and said in a warm soft voice, “Let’s walk by the stream behind our house. The bamboo growing there has much to teach you.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
We walked slowly to the stream, where tall green bamboo danced gracefully in the wind.

【答案】参考范文
We walked slowly to the stream, where tall green bamboo danced gracefully in the wind. Grandma told me gently that bamboo grew slowly and steadily, never rushing for quick results, which was exactly the spirit of bamboo weaving. She added that impetuosity ruined all craftsmanship, while a calm heart brought delicate works. I suddenly realized my mistake and felt ashamed of my bad temper. Inspired by the firm and gentle bamboo, I returned home, calmed my mind and practiced weaving patiently. With Grandma’s careful guidance, I finally finished a neat and exquisite bamboo basket before the fair.
At the Cultural Heritage Fair, my bamboo basket drew lots of attention. Teachers and classmates praised its delicate texture and neat weaving. I shared my learning experience and the traditional wisdom behind bamboo weaving, telling them that true craftsmanship lay in patience and perseverance. I no longer pursued quick success but learned to settle down and focus on every small detail. This special experience taught me a precious lesson: all beautiful things and wonderful achievements come from steady dedication and a peaceful heart.
