(2025全国二卷)
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants,she didn’t have high hopes for it.But the opposite happened:She was flooded,shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone.In the past year,Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants.Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr.Melinda Knuth,a researcher from the University of Florida.“People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating,” she says.“Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol,the stress hormone(激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth.“This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults.Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants,don’t beat yourself up if one(or a few!) doesn’t make it.“Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant.Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning.Be invested in taking care of it,but if it dies,go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
1.How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A.It faced tough competition.
B.It suffered a great loss.
C.It got lots of financial support.
D.It went surprisingly well.
2.What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A.They appeal more to students.
B.They purify the environment.
C.They raise the cortisol level.
D.They enhance productivity.
3.What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A.The necessity of social skills.
B.The meaning of sustainability.
C.The importance of repeated efforts.
D.The value of professional opinions.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Time to Replace Houseplants
B.Plants Boost Your Mood
C.Tips on Choosing Houseplants
D.Plants Brighten Your Home

(2026浙江杭州学军中学高二期中)
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class.Wherever she went,she was in the spotlight,with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her classmate,Landy,however,was not in the cool kids’ group.Being the tallest kid in her class,she was laughed at by her classmates,who were always chanting(唱起……歌) “Landy,Landy,long as spaghetti(意大利面).”
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy,Landy,long as spaghetti”.But she never told them to stop either,and nor did she ever talk to her.She liked being popular.
One weekend,Catherine went over to visit her grandfather.Her grandfather lives on a farm,where he keeps chickens.While helping to feed the chickens,Catherine noticed a special one.Hidden in the corner,it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather,with a puzzled frown on her face.Her grandfather told her how chickens could act.“They have a pecking(啄) order,” he explained,wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead.“If one chicken is different,the others will push it away and keep pecking it.Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh,what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she picked the frightened chicken up in her arms,whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body.Suddenly,she thought of Landy,the girl being “pecked” by her classmates.“I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school,Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken.“It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly.“It’s fatter and its feathers are growing.Even the cat likes it.She carries it around,and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken,laughter spreading around the classroom.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner.
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy,no matter what they said.

Dear classmates,
Good morning!It’s my honor to share ideas on smooth cross-cultural communication,with body language being a key part that often influences our interactions.
Body language,which conveys emotions without words,carries totally different meanings in various cultures.For instance,nodding,regarded as a sign of agreement in most Asian countries,actually means “disagreement” in Bulgaria.Another example is the smile:while it shows friendliness in Western cultures,it might be seen as a way to hide embarrassment in Japan.
To use body language appropriately,we should first learn about cultural differences by reading related materials.Second,observe locals’ gestures carefully before taking action,as following their habits helps avoid misunderstandings.Last,keep gestures simple when unsure,which can reduce the risk of offending others.
That’s all.Thank you!
Ⅵ.Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner.She ducked her head with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual.It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school,too.Landy was just like the poor little chicken,being teased and ignored by her classmates,merely due to her special height.“It’s high time to do something for a change.” Catherine thought to herself.Having made up her mind,she urged the rest cool kids to make peace with Landy.Astonished at what she said,all the kids burst out screaming,“Talking to the long spaghetti?Are you crazy?”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy,no matter what they said.“Landy,sorry about the spaghetti thing.I should have realized it earlier.Can you forgive us?” Catherine murmured an apology,her face reddening.She figured Landy might just walk away.But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes.Catherine wiped away her tears,giving her a warm hug.Moved by the scene,the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy.From that day on,no one made up silly chants about Landy,and Catherine also learned that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.
