Brian is a very silly, funny student. What he loves most is to make people laugh. All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best.
When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will participate, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at you in a mean way!
Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not participate. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes.

Beth Behrs, an American actress born in 1985, is best known for her role as Caroline Channing in the hit TV series 2 Broke Girls. What makes her performance so memorable is the striking connection between the character’s journey and the actress’s own experiences — both filled with resilience and growth.
On screen, Caroline Channing starts as a wealthy socialite raised in luxury. Her father, a Wall Street investor, loses everything in a financial scandal, leaving Caroline penniless and homeless overnight. Forced to leave her privileged life behind, she takes a job as a waitress in a Brooklyn diner, where she meets Max Black, a sharp-tongued but kind-hearted co-worker. Despite the huge gap between her past and present, Caroline refuses to give up. With her business acumen and Max’s baking skills, the two friends launch a cupcake business, facing countless setbacks — from lack of funds to failed marketing attempts — yet never losing hope. Her optimism and determination to rebuild her life resonate deeply with audiences worldwide.
Off screen, Beth Behrs’s path to success was also marked by perseverance. Growing up in a middle-class family in Pennsylvania, she developed a passion for acting at a young age. She moved to Los Angeles after college, taking odd jobs to support herself while auditioning for roles. For years, she faced repeated rejections, but she remained committed to her dream. In 2011, her breakthrough came when she was cast as Caroline Channing. Behrs has often spoken about how she related to Caroline’s resilience: “We both know what it’s like to work hard for what we want, even when things don’t go as planned.” Beyond acting, Behrs is a dedicated philanthropist, supporting causes like animal welfare and mental health awareness — values that mirror Caroline’s own kindness and empathy.
Both Caroline Channing and Beth Behrs remind us that success is not defined by one’s starting point, but by the courage to adapt, the strength to persist, and the heart to lift others up along the way.

A. Her father’s business failure due to a scandal.
B. Her own bad investment decisions.

B. She shared similar experiences of working hard for dreams.
C. She had a close friend who was exactly like Max.
D. She had run a cupcake business before acting.

D
Everyone has experienced brain fog after a poor night’s sleep. Now, scientists have identified the precise reason for this unfocused feeling.
During deep sleep, the brain is cleaned. The body clears out cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (脑脊液) to wash away daily waste. If you do not get enough quality sleep, however, this process can be interrupted and is still incomplete when you get out of bed in the morning. To catch up, the brain attempts this cleaning while we are awake — but with a cost. A new study reveals this leads to temporary lapses (走神) in attention, causing that familiar foggy feeling.
Researchers from MIT tested 26 volunteers after both a night of sleep deprivation (剥夺) and a night of good sleep. They monitored brain activity and tracked CSF flow using scans while participants performed simple attention tasks, such as pressing a button when a shape changed. As expected, sleep-deprived participants performed worse, with slower responses and missed signals. Importantly, researchers observed a clear pattern: just as attention lapsed, CSF was pushed out of the brain. Once attention recovered, the fluid flowed back in.
Professor Laura Lewis explained, “When we’re tired, the brain’s cleaning process — which usually only happens during sleep — can accidentally happen while we’re still awake. This briefly makes it hard to focus.”
The study also found early warning signs: about 12 seconds before a lapse, the pupils (the black centers of their eyes) become smaller. According to researcher Zinong Yang, this shows the brain’s attempt to preserve function. “Because it so needs sleep, it tries to enter a sleep-like state to restore some of its ability.”
In short, that foggy feeling isn’t just tiredness — it’s your brain literally cleaning itself at the wrong time, briefly trading attention for waste removal.
12. What causes brain fog after a bad night’s sleep?
A. The brain stops producing CSF temporarily.
B. The brain’s cleaning process occurs when awake.
C. The brain produces lots of waste for lack of sleep.
D. The brain is lacking in oxygen supply.
13. What did MIT researchers find about sleep-deprived volunteers?
A. They missed researchers’ signals unknowingly.
B. Their CSF flowed out when attention improved.
C. CSF movement matched their attention changes.
D. Their brain activity was similar to that of good sleepers.
14. What conclusion can we draw from Zinong Yang’s words?
A. The brain stops working when tired.
B. The brain tries to adjust when it lacks sleep.
C. Pupil size has vital connection with brain activity.
D. Attention lapses are uncontrollable and harmful.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. CSF: The Key Fluid for Brain Health
B. Sleep Deprivation: How It Harms Brain Function
C. MIT Study: Tracking Brain Activity in Volunteers
D. Brain Fog: A Result of Wrong-timed Brain Cleaning

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Shanna, my now 19-year-old daughter, was in Grade 3, her teacher, Mrs. Mathews, gave each of her students a small pot with a bean seed to plant. Green beans are tough and perfect for teaching kids how to grow things. But that little plant ended up teaching me an important lesson, too.
After the beans sprouted and flowered at school, the children were allowed to take them home. Shanna tried to find the perfect location and placed it on a sunny south window sill (窗台)and then proudly declared, “Soon I can feed the whole family!”
Her two sisters were a little jealous, and even our cat seemed interested — which should have been a warning because when I woke up the next morning, I saw that the bean plant had been knocked off the window sill. Its leaves were torn, and the stem was barely attached to the roots. It looked completely destroyed.
I was nervous about telling Shanna, but when I gently said we might have to throw the plant away, her reaction was not what I expected. “It’s going to be okay, Mom,” she said, with believing eyes and a heart full of hope. “The plant will get better!”
Without hesitation, she ran to the bathroom to get the first-aid kit, returning with gauze (纱布), a tongue depressor, bandages, and a deep belief that this almost-dead plant could survive and even grow beans. I wasn’t so sure, but I went along with it. Together, we wrapped the broken stem carefully.
A few days later, to my surprise, the plant was standing tall again, and the one bean on it had grown bigger!
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150左右;

I should have known the cat might try again — and it did.

At dinner table, the beans were carefully divided, each one two pieces.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国女演员Beth Behrs因饰演《破产姐妹》中Caroline Channing一角成名,其角色的经历与她本人的现实生活有着惊人的相似性,二者都展现出坚韧与成长的特质。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Her father, a Wall Street investor, loses everything in a financial scandal, leaving Caroline penniless and homeless overnight.(她的父亲是一名华尔街投资者,在一场金融丑闻中赔光了所有财产,让Caroline一夜之间身无分文、无家可归。)”可知,Caroline的父亲因金融丑闻导致商业失败,这是她陷入贫困的原因。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Behrs has often spoken about how she related to Caroline’s resilience: ‘We both know what it’s like to work hard for what we want, even when things don’t go as planned.’(Behrs经常谈到她与Caroline的韧性产生的共鸣:‘我们都知道为想要的东西努力奋斗是什么感觉,即使事情没有按计划进行。’)”可知,Beth Behrs和Caroline一样有为梦想努力拼搏的经历,这让她能精准诠释角色。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“With her business acumen and Max’s baking skills, the two friends launch a cupcake business, facing countless setbacks — from lack of funds to failed marketing attempts — yet never losing hope.(凭借她的acumen与Max的烘焙技艺,两位好友开启了纸杯蛋糕创业之路,其间遭遇了重重阻碍——从资金短缺到营销尝试屡屡受挫,但她们从未放弃希望。)”可知,Caroline依靠这项能力和Max的烘焙技术开启了生意,可推测“acumen”指“商业头脑”。C选项“business sense(商业头脑)”契合文意。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“What makes her performance so memorable is the striking connection between the character’s journey and the actress’s own experiences — both filled with resilience and growth.(让她的表演如此令人难忘的是,这个角色的经历与这位女演员自己的经历之间有着惊人的联系——两者都充满了韧性和成长。)”点明主题,随后分别介绍Caroline的荧幕故事和Beth Behrs的现实生活,最后总结二者的共性。D选项“The parallel between Caroline’s on-screen story and Beth’s real life(Caroline的荧幕故事与Beth Behrs现实生活的相似之处)”能准确概括主旨。故选D。
D
Everyone has experienced brain fog after a poor night’s sleep. Now, scientists have identified the precise reason for this unfocused feeling.
During deep sleep, the brain is cleaned. The body clears out cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (脑脊液) to wash away daily waste. If you do not get enough quality sleep, however, this process can be interrupted and is still incomplete when you get out of bed in the morning. To catch up, the brain attempts this cleaning while we are awake — but with a cost. A new study reveals this leads to temporary lapses (走神) in attention, causing that familiar foggy feeling.
Researchers from MIT tested 26 volunteers after both a night of sleep deprivation (剥夺) and a night of good sleep. They monitored brain activity and tracked CSF flow using scans while participants performed simple attention tasks, such as pressing a button when a shape changed. As expected, sleep-deprived participants performed worse, with slower responses and missed signals. Importantly, researchers observed a clear pattern: just as attention lapsed, CSF was pushed out of the brain. Once attention recovered, the fluid flowed back in.
Professor Laura Lewis explained, “When we’re tired, the brain’s cleaning process — which usually only happens during sleep — can accidentally happen while we’re still awake. This briefly makes it hard to focus.”
The study also found early warning signs: about 12 seconds before a lapse, the pupils (the black centers of their eyes) become smaller. According to researcher Zinong Yang, this shows the brain’s attempt to preserve function. “Because it so needs sleep, it tries to enter a sleep-like state to restore some of its ability.”
In short, that foggy feeling isn’t just tiredness — it’s your brain literally cleaning itself at the wrong time, briefly trading attention for waste removal.
12. What causes brain fog after a bad night’s sleep?
A. The brain stops producing CSF temporarily.
B. The brain’s cleaning process occurs when awake.
C. The brain produces lots of waste for lack of sleep.
D. The brain is lacking in oxygen supply.
13. What did MIT researchers find about sleep-deprived volunteers?
A. They missed researchers’ signals unknowingly.
B. Their CSF flowed out when attention improved.
C. CSF movement matched their attention changes.
D. Their brain activity was similar to that of good sleepers.
14. What conclusion can we draw from Zinong Yang’s words?
A. The brain stops working when tired.
B. The brain tries to adjust when it lacks sleep.
C. Pupil size has vital connection with brain activity.
D. Attention lapses are uncontrollable and harmful.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. CSF: The Key Fluid for Brain Health
B. Sleep Deprivation: How It Harms Brain Function
C. MIT Study: Tracking Brain Activity in Volunteers
D. Brain Fog: A Result of Wrong-timed Brain Cleaning
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述科学家发现,睡眠不足会让大脑在清醒时进行本应在睡眠中完成的清理工作,进而导致脑雾,还揭示了其相关规律与预警信号。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To catch up, the brain attempts this cleaning while we are awake — but with a cost. A new study reveals this leads to temporary lapses (走神) in attention, causing that familiar foggy feeling.(为了弥补,大脑会在我们清醒时进行清理,但这是有代价的。一项新研究表明,这会导致注意力短暂走神,引发我们熟悉的脑雾感。)”可知,睡眠不好后脑雾的成因是大脑在清醒时进行清理工作。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Importantly, researchers observed a clear pattern: just as attention lapsed, CSF was pushed out of the brain. Once attention recovered, the fluid flowed back in.(重要的是,研究人员观察到一个清晰的规律:当注意力出现涣散时,脑脊液就会被排出大脑;而一旦注意力恢复,脑脊液便会回流。)”可知,脑脊液的流动与注意力变化相一致。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Zinong Yang的话“Because it so needs sleep, it tries to enter a sleep-like state to restore some of its ability.(因为大脑非常需要睡眠,它会试图进入类似睡眠的状态来恢复部分能力。)”可知,大脑在缺乏睡眠时会努力进行自我调节。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In short, that foggy feeling isn’t just tiredness — it’s your brain literally cleaning itself at the wrong time, briefly trading attention for waste removal.(简而言之,脑雾感不只是疲劳 —— 而是你的大脑在错误的时间清理自身,短暂地用注意力换取废物清除。)”以及上文可知,文章核心是解释脑雾是大脑在错误时间进行清理的结果,所以D项“Brain Fog: A Result of Wrong-timed Brain Cleaning(脑雾:大脑清洁时机紊乱导致的后果)”能概括文章内容,是最佳标题。故选D项。

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。
Mastering impromptu (即兴的) communication is challenging but achievable with specific skills to communicate effectively. Here are a few pointers.
Identify a communication goal. What do you want your audience to know and to do? How do you want them to feel? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. ___16___
Organize your thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. ___17___ In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. ___18___ You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “___19___” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. ___20___ Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A. He knows most who speaks least.
B. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
C. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
D. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
E. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
F. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.
G. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过提供具体的建议帮助读者在没有准备的情况下有效沟通。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus.(拥有一个清晰的目标,加上对听众的了解,将有助于集中你的注意力。)”说明明确沟通目标并了解听众,注意力更集中之后,“Then”你就能达到某种目的。 因此G项“Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely. (这样你就可以优先考虑说什么,更明智的选择确切的措辞。)”承接上文。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.(事实上,最好的演讲者通过展示特定点和想法之间的联系来保持听众兴趣。)”说明优秀的讲话需要有一定的逻辑结构,因此E项“A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. (清晰的结构增强理解和参与度。)”与下文一致。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据下文“You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. (你应该做相反的事情:专注于倾听,这样你就能更好地理解对话伙伴的即时需求和兴趣,并更有效地回应。)”说明在谈话中,我们应该更加注重倾听而不是说话,因此F项“Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. (大多数人在即兴场合过于纠结于该说什么。)”与下文的do the opposite逻辑相符。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. (当你像一个人而不是演员或机器人那样说话时,听众更可能信任和赞同你。)”说明想要让对方更加信任自己,我们不应该像机器人那样发挥完美,机械回答,应该更像人类一样,有一些小错误,因此B项“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (不要让完美成为好的敌人。)”与下文相一致。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. (幸运的是,一些实验性思考和技能实践可以使即兴演讲机会成为你发光的时刻。)”可知,通过这些小技巧,可以让人们在谈话中发挥出色,从而就不会紧张,因此C项“It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. (正是因为我们太紧张,所以我们在谈话中挣扎。)”与下文相一致。故选C。

【45题详解】

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Shanna, my now 19-year-old daughter, was in Grade 3, her teacher, Mrs. Mathews, gave each of her students a small pot with a bean seed to plant. Green beans are tough and perfect for teaching kids how to grow things. But that little plant ended up teaching me an important lesson, too.
After the beans sprouted and flowered at school, the children were allowed to take them home. Shanna tried to find the perfect location and placed it on a sunny south window sill (窗台)and then proudly declared, “Soon I can feed the whole family!”
Her two sisters were a little jealous, and even our cat seemed interested — which should have been a warning because when I woke up the next morning, I saw that the bean plant had been knocked off the window sill. Its leaves were torn, and the stem was barely attached to the roots. It looked completely destroyed.
I was nervous about telling Shanna, but when I gently said we might have to throw the plant away, her reaction was not what I expected. “It’s going to be okay, Mom,” she said, with believing eyes and a heart full of hope. “The plant will get better!”
Without hesitation, she ran to the bathroom to get the first-aid kit, returning with gauze (纱布), a tongue depressor, bandages, and a deep belief that this almost-dead plant could survive and even grow beans. I wasn’t so sure, but I went along with it. Together, we wrapped the broken stem carefully.
A few days later, to my surprise, the plant was standing tall again, and the one bean on it had grown bigger!

【答案】 I should have known the cat might try again — and it did. Early the next morning, we found the bean plant lying on the floor once more, its bandages loose and a new stem broken. This time, I felt discouraged, but Shanna’s resolve only grew stronger. “We just need to try harder,” she said firmly. She gently cleaned the plant, re-wrapped the stems with fresh gauze, and even moved it to a high shelf out of the cat’s reach. Every day, she watered it carefully and talked to it softly, never losing hope. Gradually, the plant not only survived but also grew two more beans, much to our delight.
At dinner table, the beans were carefully divided, each one two pieces. There were only four beans in total, but Shanna handed out each piece with great pride. “This is from our brave plant,” she told everyone. As we tasted the tiny, tender beans, Shanna shared how the plant taught her to never give up, even when things seem hopeless. I looked at my daughter, filled with admiration. That little bean plant didn’t just grow beans; it nurtured a heart full of perseverance and kindness in Shanna — a lesson I’ll never forget.
