Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says.
One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says.
But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible.
Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people.
“We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair, a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.”
24. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage?
A. His panic in a hotel pool. B. His lack of encouragement.
C. His failure in a business trip. D. His inability to enjoy swimming.
25. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Accept the fact. B. Have a go. C. Avoid the risk. D. Realize his dream.
26. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills.
B. People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life.
C. Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain.
D. Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths.
27. What does Clark’s experience show?
A. No pains, no gains. B. Every dog has its day.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. It’s never too old to learn.
C
Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows.
“It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.”
The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans.
The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.”
Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.”
28. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods?
A. They fall short of expectations.
B. They are more accurate than before.
C. They are distinct from each other.
D. They show consistent conclusions.
29. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons.
C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments.
30. What did the researchers find about the SCG?
A. It is in charge of motor system.
B. It can be measured by the GDS.
C. Dancing slows down its functioning.
D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal.
31. What is the best title of the text?
A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen
C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being
D
The common fear that a friend secretly dislikes us often reflects internal insecurities rather than actual ill will. People frequently interpret neutral or unclear behaviors — such as brief text replies or delayed responses — as signs of rejection. Even well-meaning words of comfort like “no worries” may be perceived as mocking (嘲笑的) or insincere.
This tendency can be explained through what is known as the fawn response, a behavioral pattern less recognized than the “fight or flight” reaction. The fawn response involves attempts to please others in order to feel safe, a strategy often developed in childhood when facing critical or emotionally neglectful parents, or an unstable home environment. While this strategy may ease conflict temporarily, it can also lead to a habitual cycle of approval-seeking. We might intellectually understand that a friend isn’t upset with us — but those “old ways of being” bite hard. Something was learned early on: “I need to try harder and do more to be loved.”
This pattern has several consequences. On the personal level, it fuels anxiety, as individuals repeatedly question whether they have offended their peers. On the interpersonal level, it can hurt relationships, since constant demands for reassurance may frustrate friends and even create the very rejection that was worried about. In this way, assuming everyone is annoyed with you can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The key is understanding that it is not the end of the world — or a friendship. Conflict is not only unavoidable; it can even be healing, demonstrating that closeness can survive difference. Learning to tolerate discomfort, rather than avoiding it at all costs, can foster both toughness and closeness.
Social media, unfortunately, worsens social anxiety. The absence of nonverbal cues (信号) makes it easy to misinterpret tone, while the constant visibility of online interactions can intensify feelings of exclusion or neglect. Managing these anxieties requires conscious effort. Instead of seeking immediate reassurance, individuals can pause to ask: Am I truly being rejected, or am I simply anxious? Developing tolerance for uncertainty can interrupt the cycle and reduce dependence on others’ approval. Trust also plays a role. When friends say they are simply busy or distracted, accept their words at face value. After all, no question or magic phrase can control another person’s perception. Even if it could, you might be robbing yourself of opportunities to grow, learn or deepen a bond.
32. What can we learn about the fawn response?
A. It arises from people’s need to escape real physical danger.
B. It develops after people get used to endless approval-seeking.
C. It is intended to prevent conflicts from ever emerging in advance.
D. It is characterized by trying to please others to secure inner safety.
33. What does “a self-fulfilling prophecy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A belief that one is self-made. B. A prediction that is certain to fail.
C. An outcome that happens as feared. D. A pattern that tries to entertain others.
34. According to the author, conflict in a relationship can be ______.
A. a way to test its toughness B. a sign of a growing disagreement
C. a problem that should be avoided D. a chance to strengthen a friendship
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Where friendship problems lie. B. Why magic words fail to do wonders.
C. What one can do to handle social anxieties. D. What leads people to seek constant reassurance.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures. ____36____
The most obvious benefit is academic. Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. ____37____ When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions.
Live theater also teaches how to develop relationships. People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding. ____38____ In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness.
____39____ Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind. As a result, students are more likely to accept statements such as “I think people can have different opinions about the same thing”.
Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry. ____40____ There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance.
Given these significant benefits — academic, emotional, social, and occupational — schools should guarantee students never miss out on these transformative experiences.
A. Plays don’t just require actors.
B. Live theater makes class discussion intolerable.
C. The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance.
D. A synchronized audience is perfect for building social tolerance.
E. The shared experience of something moving helps people connect.
F. Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development.
G. For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a written version.

I was born in a rural town. The life there was simple yet ____41____ — unspoken rules governed everything and new ideas were rarely tolerated.

City life was really ____45____. I threw myself into new experiences — sampling new cafes, visiting galleries and playing AR games... to ____46____ my hard-won independence. Yet gradually, beneath the city’s restless energy, a huge ____47____ from not belonging swallowed my heart. The constant motion of city life wasn’t sustainable, and I needed to go back to my ____48____.
Years later, I returned to the place I once ____49____. To my surprise, while I had changed, so had my hometown, with small, welcoming ____50____ everywhere: Tall buildings stood towering and various shops lined the widened streets. The cornfields, once symbols of all I longed to escape, became spaces for reflection, progress, and finally ____51____. Admittedly, I feared being labeled as a “failure” at the city life, yet no such ____52____ came — only quiet understanding, or, ____53____, you could say.

Great value ____60____ (place) on texture (口感) and original flavors since ancient times. Cooking methods like steaming and stir-frying are preferred to preserve the natural quality of ingredients.

Adam loved football. He loved the smell of the grass as he slid across it. And he loved the excitement when he shot the ball into the net. There was nothing in this world that could weigh the same as football in his heart. He dreamed of growing up to be a professional footballer.
Every day Adam would go to the field and practise with his friends. He still remembered when he asked to join the older boys, they teased (取笑) him, “You’re too small. Football is for big, tough players, not for someone your size.” Then when they saw he could run, kick, and shoot as well as they could, the teasing stopped. Adam played hard and really had a gift. He even became the only one in the group who could do the bicycle kick (倒挂金钩)!
One day after school, Adam went to the playground to practise as usual. The boys were talking quietly, casting excited glances at a man who was watching the field. As Adam joined the group, Captain Harold told him the man, called Mr. Smith, was looking for players for his football camp and there would be a tryout match the next day. Adam could hardly contain his excitement. The camp meant there would be professional coaches to train him! He would do anything to join it.
After the practice, Mr. Smith approached and Adam crowded close so he could see him. “Who wants to come to my football camp and really learn to play this game?” Mr. Smith asked. Excited hands shot up. Mr. Smith shook them all and shook Adam’s hand last.
“Little man, I saw you run fast,” he said. “But you are far too thin and short for my camp. You’ll get knocked down in a second.”
Adam looked down so no one would see his disappointment. “It’s not fair! Adam’s been practising with us and he’s the only one who ever did the bicycle kick!” Harold argued.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired, Adam decided to seize the opportunity.

【原文】Maya Johnson is a seventeen-year-old girl who has made contributions to education in her community. Two years ago, while volunteering at a primary school, Maya noticed many children from low-income families lacked books at home. This inspired her to create Books for Every Child, a nonprofit program that collects and hands out free books. Maya organized book drives at her high school and partnered with local bookstores. Within six months, she collected over two thousand books. She created free libraries in five neighborhoods where families could borrow books anytime. What makes Maya’s program unique is the reading partner system: high school volunteers read with younger children weekly, helping them develop reading skills. The program has handed out more than eight thousand books and helped two hundred children improve their reading abilities. The city education department has provided funds to enlarge the program to three other neighborhoods. Maya plans to study education policy at college and create similar programs nationwide. Her actions show how young people can deal with educational inequality through community solutions.

Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says.
One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says.
But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible.
Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people.
“We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair, a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.”
24. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage?
A. His panic in a hotel pool. B. His lack of encouragement.
C. His failure in a business trip. D. His inability to enjoy swimming.
25. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Accept the fact. B. Have a go. C. Avoid the risk. D. Realize his dream.
26. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills.
B. People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life.
C. Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain.
D. Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths.
27. What does Clark’s experience show?
A. No pains, no gains. B. Every dog has its day.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. It’s never too old to learn.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了45岁音乐人Clark自幼怕水,一次泳池遇险加重恐惧,中年才开始学游泳。文章借其经历说明中年同样适合学习,研究表明年长人群大脑仍可更新,学习能延缓能力衰退。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段““It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says. (“这一直让我感到困扰。我过去总看到人们在度假时游泳,觉得自己的生活似乎错过了这种乐趣。”他说。)”可知,最初让克拉克感到困扰的是他无法享受游泳。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. (在伴侣的温柔鼓励下,他完成了10节初学者课程。)”可知,2014年他决定下定决心学游泳,故划线词意思是“尝试一下”。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable (但大量研究表明,丧失能力并非不可避免)”可知,年龄大并不一定意味着失去技能。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. (克拉克的故事表明,中年是学习的最佳时机之一。)”可知,克拉克的经历说明了学习永远不会太晚。
C
Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows.
“It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.”
The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans.
The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.”
Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.”
28. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods?
A. They fall short of expectations.
B. They are more accurate than before.
C. They are distinct from each other.
D. They show consistent conclusions.
29. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons.
C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments.
30. What did the researchers find about the SCG?
A. It is in charge of motor system.
B. It can be measured by the GDS.
C. Dancing slows down its functioning.
D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal.
31. What is the best title of the text?
A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen
C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状,通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods. (我们的研究是首次通过这两种检测方法来证明这些益处的。)”可知,这两种检测方法均可以证明益处,即它们得出了一致的结论。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. (他们使用老年抑郁量表(GDS)在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁,并定期进行MRI扫描。)”可知,研究人员在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁,是通过前后对比来进行研究的。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression, (我们发现,SCG的BOLD(血氧水平依赖性)信号在跳舞时会减弱,这意味着SCG的功能不如抑郁症患者运行得那么快)”可知,跳舞会让SCG的运行速度放缓。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明,跳舞可以降低与帕金森氏症相关的抑郁,其益处通过多种方式看出。)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状,通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果,所以“跳舞远离帕金森氏症的忧郁”适合作为文章标题。故选A。
D
The common fear that a friend secretly dislikes us often reflects internal insecurities rather than actual ill will. People frequently interpret neutral or unclear behaviors — such as brief text replies or delayed responses — as signs of rejection. Even well-meaning words of comfort like “no worries” may be perceived as mocking (嘲笑的) or insincere.
This tendency can be explained through what is known as the fawn response, a behavioral pattern less recognized than the “fight or flight” reaction. The fawn response involves attempts to please others in order to feel safe, a strategy often developed in childhood when facing critical or emotionally neglectful parents, or an unstable home environment. While this strategy may ease conflict temporarily, it can also lead to a habitual cycle of approval-seeking. We might intellectually understand that a friend isn’t upset with us — but those “old ways of being” bite hard. Something was learned early on: “I need to try harder and do more to be loved.”
This pattern has several consequences. On the personal level, it fuels anxiety, as individuals repeatedly question whether they have offended their peers. On the interpersonal level, it can hurt relationships, since constant demands for reassurance may frustrate friends and even create the very rejection that was worried about. In this way, assuming everyone is annoyed with you can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The key is understanding that it is not the end of the world — or a friendship. Conflict is not only unavoidable; it can even be healing, demonstrating that closeness can survive difference. Learning to tolerate discomfort, rather than avoiding it at all costs, can foster both toughness and closeness.
Social media, unfortunately, worsens social anxiety. The absence of nonverbal cues (信号) makes it easy to misinterpret tone, while the constant visibility of online interactions can intensify feelings of exclusion or neglect. Managing these anxieties requires conscious effort. Instead of seeking immediate reassurance, individuals can pause to ask: Am I truly being rejected, or am I simply anxious? Developing tolerance for uncertainty can interrupt the cycle and reduce dependence on others’ approval. Trust also plays a role. When friends say they are simply busy or distracted, accept their words at face value. After all, no question or magic phrase can control another person’s perception. Even if it could, you might be robbing yourself of opportunities to grow, learn or deepen a bond.
32. What can we learn about the fawn response?
A. It arises from people’s need to escape real physical danger.
B. It develops after people get used to endless approval-seeking.
C. It is intended to prevent conflicts from ever emerging in advance.
D. It is characterized by trying to please others to secure inner safety.
33. What does “a self-fulfilling prophecy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A belief that one is self-made. B. A prediction that is certain to fail.
C. An outcome that happens as feared. D. A pattern that tries to entertain others.
34. According to the author, conflict in a relationship can be ______.
A. a way to test its toughness B. a sign of a growing disagreement
C. a problem that should be avoided D. a chance to strengthen a friendship
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Where friendship problems lie. B. Why magic words fail to do wonders.
C. What one can do to handle social anxieties. D. What leads people to seek constant reassurance.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章分析了讨好型反应的心理机制,指出这种模式会引发焦虑并导致自我实现的预言,并强调冲突可以成为加强友谊的机会,并提出了应对社交焦虑的具体方法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The fawn response involves attempts to please others in order to feel safe (讨好型反应是一种试图取悦他人以获得安全感的行为)”可知,讨好型反应的特点是通过取悦他人来确保内心的安全。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“On the interpersonal level, it can hurt relationships, since constant demands for reassurance may frustrate friends and even create the very rejection that was worried about. (在人际层面,这可能会损害关系,因为持续要求得到安慰可能让朋友感到沮丧,甚至引发他们原本担忧的被拒绝。)”可知,因假设他人对自己感到烦躁而不断要求得到安慰的行为,会引发对方的负面反应,让原本的假设成真,画线部分指的应该是“一种像担心的那样发生的结果”。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Conflict is not only unavoidable; it can even be healing, demonstrating that closeness can survive difference. (冲突不仅不可避免,它甚至可能带来疗愈,表明亲密关系能够超越差异而存续。)”可知,作者认为友谊中的冲突可以是一个加强友谊的机会。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Managing these anxieties requires conscious effort. Instead of seeking immediate reassurance, individuals can pause to ask… Developing tolerance for uncertainty can interrupt the cycle and reduce dependence on others’ approval. Trust also plays a role. When friends say they are simply busy or distracted, accept their words at face value… (管理这些焦虑需要有意识的努力。与其急于寻求即时的安慰,个人可以停下来思考……学会对不确定性保持包容,有助于打破这种循环,并减少对他人认可的依赖。信任也起着重要作用。当朋友说他们只是太忙或分心时,应不加怀疑地接受他们的说法……)”可知,本段聚焦的是一个人可以做些什么来处理社交焦虑。

William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures. ____36____
The most obvious benefit is academic. Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. ____37____ When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions.
Live theater also teaches how to develop relationships. People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding. ____38____ In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness.
____39____ Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind. As a result, students are more likely to accept statements such as “I think people can have different opinions about the same thing”.
Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry. ____40____ There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance.
Given these significant benefits — academic, emotional, social, and occupational — schools should guarantee students never miss out on these transformative experiences.
A. Plays don’t just require actors.
B. Live theater makes class discussion intolerable.
C. The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance.
D. A synchronized audience is perfect for building social tolerance.
E. The shared experience of something moving helps people connect.
F. Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development.

【解析】
【导语】文章主要从学术、情感、社交和职业四个方面阐述了现场戏剧体验对学生发展的重要性,呼吁学校确保学生不因预算压力而错过这些有变革性的经历。
【36题详解】
上文“William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures. (威廉·莎士比亚或许曾写下“全世界是一个舞台”,但遗憾的是,由于预算压力,剧院的学校参观人数正在减少。)”指出学校减少参观剧院的现象,下文段落具体论述体验戏剧的好处,因此F项“Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development. (然而,现场戏剧体验对学生的发展仍然至关重要。)”符合语境,强调现场戏剧体验的重要性,和上文构成转折,引出下文的论述。
【37题详解】
上文“Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. (观看现场戏剧的学生在内容和词汇知识方面,表现优于观看同场戏剧电影改编版本的学生。)”对比看现场戏剧与电影改编的学生的学业表现,下文“When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions. (当看到它被生动呈现时,他们就能深入理解舞台指导的布景与诠释。)”说明现场表演能帮助理解舞台指导,因此G项“For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a written version. (对于那些学习英语戏剧的人来说,剧本仅仅是书面版本。)”符合语境,强调剧本的局限性,为下文的“生动呈现”作铺垫,与下文共同解释学业表现有差异的原因。
【38题详解】
上文“People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding. (观众在剧院中的心率会同步。这种行为已被证明能够增强社会联结。)”提到观众心率同步能增强社会联结,下文“In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness. (事实上,观看戏剧时普遍增强的情绪也教会学生,感到悲伤并表达情绪是完全可以接受的。)”提到共同高涨情绪教会学生表达情感,因此E项“The shared experience of something moving helps people connect. (感人的共同体验有助于人们建立联系。)”符合语境,强调共同体验促进联系,与上下文关于情感同步和社交纽带的内容一致。
【39题详解】
下文“Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind. As a result, students are more likely to accept statements such as “I think people can have different opinions about the same thing”. (学校非常欢迎通过戏剧和剧目来开展艰难话题的讨论,让学生们能够探索不同的观点,并以开放的心态接纳他人。因此,学生更有可能接受诸如“我认为人们对于同一事物可以有不同的看法”这样的陈述。)”提到学校利用戏剧展开艰难话题的讨论,培养学生的开放心态,与“社会容忍度”直接相关,因此C项“The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance. (去剧院的实际旅程也提高了社会的容忍度。)”符合语境,点明整个剧院体验对培养宽容度的作用,可作为段首句统领本段内容。
【40题详解】
上文“Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry. (最后,剧院有助于让学生了解该行业所提供的各种职业选择。)”指出剧院让学生了解业内各种工作,下文“There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance. (幕后有许多角色,往往只有亲身体验现场演出后才会变得清晰可见。)”提到现场体验让人了解幕后角色,因此A项“Plays don’t just require actors. (戏剧不仅仅需要演员。)”符合语境,说明戏剧需要多种角色,呼应上文的各种工作,引出对幕后角色的介绍。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。中国饮食文化注重味道、平衡、和谐与食材新鲜,偏爱新鲜食材与蒸、炒等烹饪方式。它将营养与感官享受结合,体现了代代相传的文化智慧。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国烹饪的重点在于味道、平衡、和谐,而最重要的是食材的新鲜度。结合句意可知空格处表示“在于”,结合主语focus,可知用介词on符合题意。故填on。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。定冠词the后,介词of前用名词freshness“新鲜”,不可数。故填freshness。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:与一些快节奏社会中那些以便捷性为至上原则的人们不同,许多中国人更倾向于每天去当地的市场采购最优质的农产品。空格处引导定语从句,修饰先行词societies,在从句作地点状语,用where引导该从句。故填where。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:新鲜的食材总是更受欢迎,而像腌制的鱼肉或干果这类腌制食品则只是偶尔才会出现。此处为with+宾语+过去分词,preserved foods与include之间是被动关系,表示“被包含”,用过去分词included作宾补。故填included。
【60题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:自古以来,人们就非常重视食物的口感和原本的风味。主语value与place之间构成被动关系,根据后文since ancient times可知为现在完成时的被动语态,助动词用has。故填has been placed。
【61题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:食物的质地,无论是熟肉的口感还是面条的嚼劲,都被认为与味道同等重要。句型whether…or…表示“无论是……还是……”。故填or。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:餐食通常会以一些清淡的甜点收尾,比如应季水果或者红豆汤。修饰动词conclude用副词typically“通常地,典型地”。故填typically。
【63题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:中国餐饮的独特之处在于这种综合性的理念,它将营养均衡与感官享受完美结合。空格处引导主语从句,从句缺少主语,指物,故用what,句首单词首字母大写。故填What。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国餐饮的独特之处在于这种综合性的理念,它将营养均衡与感官享受完美结合。空格处填入非谓语动词,approach和combine是主动关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。故填combining。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意:这种对食材和传统的真挚尊重,体现了历经数代传承下来的深厚文化智慧。主句陈述事实用一般现在时,主语为This genuine respect,谓语动词reflect“反应,体现”用第三人称单数形式。故填reflects。

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。
Adam loved football. He loved the smell of the grass as he slid across it. And he loved the excitement when he shot the ball into the net. There was nothing in this world that could weigh the same as football in his heart. He dreamed of growing up to be a professional footballer.
Every day Adam would go to the field and practise with his friends. He still remembered when he asked to join the older boys, they teased (取笑) him, “You’re too small. Football is for big, tough players, not for someone your size.” Then when they saw he could run, kick, and shoot as well as they could, the teasing stopped. Adam played hard and really had a gift. He even became the only one in the group who could do the bicycle kick (倒挂金钩)!
One day after school, Adam went to the playground to practise as usual. The boys were talking quietly, casting excited glances at a man who was watching the field. As Adam joined the group, Captain Harold told him the man, called Mr. Smith, was looking for players for his football camp and there would be a tryout match the next day. Adam could hardly contain his excitement. The camp meant there would be professional coaches to train him! He would do anything to join it.
After the practice, Mr. Smith approached and Adam crowded close so he could see him. “Who wants to come to my football camp and really learn to play this game?” Mr. Smith asked. Excited hands shot up. Mr. Smith shook them all and shook Adam’s hand last.
“Little man, I saw you run fast,” he said. “But you are far too thin and short for my camp. You’ll get knocked down in a second.”
Adam looked down so no one would see his disappointment. “It’s not fair! Adam’s been practising with us and he’s the only one who ever did the bicycle kick!” Harold argued.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Inspired, Adam decided to seize the opportunity. Gathering all his courage, Adam stepped up, looked directly at Mr. Smith and said, “Sir, I really love football and I’ve got tired of hearing people say I’m too small to play. Actually I could do as well as the big boys and even better!” Hearing Adam’s words, Mr. Smith raised his eyebrows and thought for a while. Seeing Mr. Smith hesitate slightly, Adam begged him sincerely for a chance. Finally, Mr. Smith nodded and told him to come the next day.
The next day Adam came to the tryout. The players were divided into two groups and Adam ran actively through the field, seeking a chance to goal. Soon, Harold passed him the ball! Adam positioned himself, jumped as high as he could and kicked the ball with his head down. The ball flew directly into the net! A perfect bicycle kick! When Mr. Smith announced the qualified players, Adam’s heart pounded fiercely. Hearing his name, he hugged Harold and jumped with excitement.
