When Lori Fugere’s 16-year-old dog Molly died in 2015, she thought she would never stop crying. “I was completely lost,” said Fugere, who lives in Salt Lake City. “Molly had been with me through everything — divorce, moves, career changes. When she was gone, I didn’t know who I was anymore.”
Weeks passed, and the grief did not fade. One day, scrolling through a local shelter’s website, she saw a photo of a 14-year-old mixed-breed dog named Tater. He had arthritis (关节炎), dental disease, and a cloudy eye. “He looked like nobody would ever want him,” she recalled. “I thought, maybe I could give him a good last chapter.”
Tater became the first of many. Over the next seven years, Fugere adopted 11 senior dogs and three with disabilities. Her home was filled with dogs that had been overlooked — blind dogs, three-legged dogs, dogs with heart conditions. “People always ask me, ‘Isn’t it sad?’” she said. “But the truth is, they give so much. They don’t feel sorry for themselves. They just want to be loved.”
Fugere’s mission began as a way to heal her own heart. But it has since grown into something larger. She now runs a social media page where she shares stories of her senior pets, encouraging others to consider adopting older animals. “These dogs have so much life left in them,” she said. “You’re not giving them a sad ending. You’re giving them the best years they’ve ever had.”
Looking back, Fugere says Molly’s death was the beginning of something unexpected. “I never imagined that losing my best friend would lead me to all of this — to saving so many lives, to finding a new purpose. It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.”
24. What does Lori Fugere’s “being completely lost” show after Molly’s death?
A. Her heavy reliance on Molly. B. Her guilt for Molly’s death.
C. Her loss of self-confidence. D. Her uncertainty about career.
25. What made Lori Fugere decide to adopt Tater?
A. Tater could keep her away from grief.
B. Tater’s special appearance attracted her.
C. She wanted to help Tater end its life well.
D. She needed a new dog to replace Molly.
26. What does Fugere think of the dogs she adopted?
A. They teach Fugere the meaning of sadness.
B. They help Fugere gain online popularity.
C. They bring Fugere economic benefits.
D. They give Fugere emotional comfort.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Grief can be turned into the power to help others.
B. Everyone should adopt at least one disabled dog.
C. Senior dogs are more loyal than younger ones.
D. Pets can help people get over all the pain in life.

For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.
Now, a new wave of vertical farms is emerging, backed by major investors and advances in LED lighting and automation. In cities like Newark, New Jersey, massive indoor farms now produce up to 2 million pounds of greens per year in spaces the size of a grocery store. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.
“We can grow anywhere,” said one industry executive. “We’re not dependent on climate, and we’re not dependent on seasons. We can put a farm in the middle of a city and deliver produce the same day it’s harvested.”
The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. With produce often traveling thousands of miles from farm to plate, local indoor farming offers an appealing alternative.
Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.
Perhaps the biggest limitation is what vertical farms can actually grow. The economics only work for high-value, fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Staple crops like wheat, rice, and corn — which feed the majority of the world’s population — are unlikely to ever be producible in vertical farms.
Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable. As one researcher put it, “This isn’t about growing all our food indoors. It’s about building resilience into our food system.”
28. What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 1?
A. It offers methods to cut farming costs.
B. It reflects expectations plus real challenges.
C. It shows the popularity of vertical farming.
D. It proves vertical farming improves food output.
29. What’s the strength of hydroponic systems?
A. It helps reduce the amount of energy consumption.
B. It makes the growth of indoor staple crops possible.
C. It can be operated without soil and weather limits.
D. It allows farmers to expand food production easily.
30. Which of the following do critics probably agree on?
A. Developing vertical farms needs careful consideration.
B. Using new technology needs lower construction costs.
C. Improving traditional farming needs little public support.
D. Cutting the cost of facilities in a small town needs action.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming?
A. Objective and reasonable. B. Skeptical and opposed.
C. Doubtful and pessimistic. D. Supportive and confident.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍垂直农业，阐述其发展优势、现存争议与发展局限，指出垂直农业并非要取代传统农业，而是作为补充完善粮食供给体系。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.(多年来，垂直农业一直被推崇为农业的未来——一种在气候控制的仓库中种植大量粮食的方法，相较于传统农业大幅节水省地。但该行业面临着持续的挑战：高昂的能源成本、技术故障，同时人们也质疑它除了绿叶蔬菜外能否种植其他作物。)”可知，本段既阐述了人们对垂直农业的高度期待（未来农业、高效节水节地），也指出了其面临的现实挑战（高成本、技术故障、作物单一）。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.(这类农场采用水培系统，直接将养分输送至植物根部，无需土壤，且不受天气制约，可全年不间断生产。)”可知，水培系统的核心优势在于摆脱了对土壤的依赖，同时不受季节与天气限制。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.(但质疑之声依旧存在。批评者指出，LED照明与气候控制系统会消耗巨量电力。一座垂直农场的耗电量堪比一座小镇，若能源并非来自可再生能源，其碳足迹会超过传统农业。除此之外，技术造价高昂——单座农场的建设成本可超1亿美元。)”可知，批评者认为垂直农业能耗高、建设成本昂贵，存在明显短板，由此可推断他们会认同发展垂直农业需要谨慎考量。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation.(环保优势十分突出。相比传统农业，垂直农业最多可节约95%的水资源，还能省去长途运输产生的碳排放。)”、第五段中的“Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.(但质疑之声依旧存在。批评者指出，LED照明与气候控制系统会消耗巨量电力。一座垂直农场的耗电量堪比一座小镇，若能源并非来自可再生能源，其碳足迹会超过传统农业。除此之外，技术造价高昂——单座农场的建设成本可超1亿美元。)”以及第七段中的“Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable.(尽管存在上述种种挑战，支持者认为垂直农业并非旨在取代传统农业，而是对其形成补充。在城市化程度不断加深、气候压力日益加剧的世界中，在城市内部拥有可靠新鲜农产品来源，可能是极有价值的。)”可知，文章既客观陈述垂直农业节水、低碳运输等优点，也如实呈现能耗高、造价高昂等争议点，完整呈现批评者与支持者双方不同看法，作者未偏向任意一方，既承认问题，也认可价值，由此可推断作者对垂直农业持客观理性的态度。

The moment our phone dies, panic sets in — we realize how deeply we rely on technology to avoid even the smallest inconveniences. We live in an age built around comfort, where smartphones, delivery apps, and AI assistants promise to reduce effort and spare us from discomfort. Yet this constant pursuit of ease comes at a hidden cost.
Studies reveal that while digital tools keep us “connected”, they often leave us more isolated. A 2026 survey by the American Psychological Association found that people spending over five hours a day on social media are three times more likely to report anxiety and loneliness. Worse, our reliance on technology erodes our ability to think for ourselves. Navigation apps, for instance, weaken spatial awareness and problem-solving skills. A recent study showed that regular users of such apps perform 40% worse on direction-related memory tests than those who rely on their own judgment.
Ironically, the discomfort we eagerly avoid is exactly what makes us stronger. Psychologists note that mild stress and challenges build resilience, while neuroscience confirms that small, manageable hardships boost neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to adapt. Simple acts like walking instead of riding, handwriting a note, or solving a problem without searching for the answer strengthen our mental muscles.
This does not mean rejecting technology entirely. The goal is to balance ease with intentional discomfort. “Micro-hardships” — small daily challenges that push us slightly out of our comfort zones — are key. Examples include putting your phone away during meals, doing a crossword puzzle instead of scrolling, or using cash instead of a phone to pay.
In a world that champions “work smarter, not harder”, we have forgotten that some hard work and discomfort are necessary for growth. Our obsession with ease has made us softer, more anxious, and less resilient. Next time you reach for your phone to avoid a minor inconvenience, pause and ask what you might be giving up by choosing comfort. Sometimes, embracing a little discomfort is the most rewarding path to becoming a stronger, more capable version of yourself.
32. What does the underlined word “erodes” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ignores. B. Protects. C. Develops. D. Weakens.
33. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Daily challenges always bring people great trouble.
B. We should refuse to use modern technology totally.
C. A comfortable life makes people more independent.
D. Proper hardships benefit people’s mental growth.
34. What is likely to be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Harmful effects of using high-tech devices.
B. Personalities shaped by modern technology.
C. Practical ways to accept proper hardships.
D. Motivations behind our pursuit of comfort.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Do We Have to Fear Inconvenience? B. Is Comfort Harming Our Growth?
C. Do We Need to Believe in Ourselves? D. Is It Wise to Reject Technology?
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍现代人一味追求舒适、依赖科技规避不便，而过度追求安逸存在隐性代价；适度的不适与微小困难能够锻炼大脑、提升韧性，我们应当平衡便利与适度挑战，接纳少量不便助力自我成长。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第二段“Worse, our reliance on technology erodes our ability to think for ourselves. Navigation apps, for instance, weaken spatial awareness and problem-solving skills.(更糟糕的是，我们对科技的依赖erodes我们独立思考的能力。例如，导航应用会削弱空间感知能力和解决问题的能力。)”可知，后文举例中的weaken和erodes表达含义一致，故erodes表示“削弱”。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Psychologists note that mild stress and challenges build resilience, while neuroscience confirms that small, manageable hardships boost neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to adapt.(心理学家指出，轻度压力和挑战能够培养适应力，同时神经科学证实，可控的微小困难可以提升神经可塑性，也就是大脑的适应能力。)”可知，适度的困难有益于人的心智成长。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Sometimes, embracing a little discomfort is the most rewarding path to becoming a stronger, more capable version of yourself.(有时，主动接纳些许不便，才是让自己变得更强大、更优秀的最佳途径。)”可知，文末提出观点：接纳不适是自我提升的有效方式。按照行文逻辑，提出观点后，下文可能会介绍接纳适度困难的可行方法。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“Worse, our reliance on technology erodes our ability to think for ourselves. Navigation apps, for instance, weaken spatial awareness and problem-solving skills.(更糟糕的是，我们对科技的依赖削弱了我们独立思考的能力。例如，导航应用会削弱空间感知能力和解决问题的能力。)”及全文内容可知，文章围绕过度追求舒适带来负面影响，舒适阻碍人的成长展开论述，探讨安逸是否正在损害我们的发展。B选项“舒适正在损害我们的成长吗？”契合全文中心，适合作标题。
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。
Li Jie stood on the courts of the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour MT400 tournament in Beijing’s Changping district, an international event that drew 880 tennis enthusiasts from home and abroad. She wasn’t just watching. She was competing. A year ago, Li Jie could not even deliver a basic overhand serve. The ball would drop at her feet or sail long. Rallies (对打) felt fragile. ____36____
Designed for players aged 30 and over, the tournament offers seven age groups from 30 all the way to over 70. According to registration data, it showed strong popularity across multiple age groups this year. ____37____ The 50+, 55+, and 60+ categories, however, showed steady growth, fully demonstrating the rising development of amateur tennis in Beijing and across China.
____38____ Li teamed up with a female partner of similar age to compete in the 50+ doubles category on the first day. They even faced the second-seeded doubles pair. “I came here not for the win or loss,” Li said. “I just hoped to hit a few good shots.”
“I used to just rally back and forth — no matches at all,” she admits. “I only really started playing last year.” ____39____ The center launched off-peak “open play” sessions: play from 7 am to 4 pm for just under 40 yuan ($5.88). There, Li found her tribe — like-minded partners to practice with and organize friendly matches. That’s when tennis stopped being a casual hobby and became a serious passion.
“Work and life are just like playing tennis. ____40____ What you have to do is get through them either way. On the tennis court, no matter how bad your form is, or how good your opponent is, you still have to face the match. Then you try to win through effort and by making the necessary adjustments,” Li said in the interview.
A. Matches were out of the question.
B. The game changer came early last year.
C. The five-day tournament kicked off on May 13.
D. There will always be smooth days and really tough days.
E. The daily training program for a match actually stressed her out.
F. She kept a balanced diet and stuck to a fixed routine before matches.
G. The 30+ and 40+ categories remained the categories with the most participants.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍李杰从零开始学习网球，如今站上国际业余网球赛事赛场参赛的经历，讲述国内中老年业余网球赛事火热发展的现状，并记录李杰从网球中感悟生活道理的故事。
【36题详解】
由前文“A year ago, Li Jie could not even deliver a basic overhand serve. The ball would drop at her feet or sail long. Rallies (对打) felt fragile.(一年前，李杰甚至连基础上手发球都发不好。球要么落在她脚边，要么飞出界外。来回对打显得十分勉强。)”可知，前文讲述一年前李杰网球基础极差，连简单对打都困难，本空承接上文，要说明她当时根本谈不上参加比赛。A项表示“参加比赛更是想都别想。”能承接上文内容，符合题意。
【37题详解】
由前文“According to registration data, it showed strong popularity across multiple age groups this year.(报名数据显示，今年赛事在多个年龄组都人气高涨。)”以及后文“The 50+, 55+, and 60+ categories, however, showed steady growth, fully demonstrating the rising development of amateur tennis in Beijing and across China.(但50岁以上、55岁以上、60岁以上组别参赛人数稳步增长，充分展现出北京乃至全国业余网球运动蓬勃发展的态势。)”可知，前后存在转折对比关系，后文介绍高龄组别人数持续上涨，本空应交代低龄主力组别参赛情况。G项表示“30岁以上和40岁以上组别依旧是参赛人数最多的组别。”能承接上文报名火爆的内容，同时和后文形成转折对比，符合题意。
【38题详解】
本题在段首，是该段主旨句。由后文“Li teamed up with a female partner of similar age to compete in the 50+ doubles category on the first day. They even faced the second-seeded doubles pair.(李杰和一位年龄相仿的女搭档组队，在首日参加 50 岁以上双人组别赛事。她们甚至遇上了二号种子双打组合。)”可知，后文介绍李杰参加本次网球赛事双打比赛的相关情况，本空总起段落，点明赛事开幕，引出下文参赛情节。C项表示“这场为期五天的赛事于5月13日拉开帷幕。”能总领本段内容，符合题意。
【39题详解】
由前文“I only really started playing last year.(我去年才真正开始打球。)”以及后文“The center launched off-peak “open play” sessions: play from 7 am to 4 pm for just under 40 yuan ($5.88).(该网球中心推出错峰‘开放畅打’时段：早上7点至下午4点打球，费用不足40元，折合5.88美元。)”可知，前文说明去年才开始打球，后文讲述改变她网球之路的场地优惠活动，本空起到过渡作用，引出改变她网球生活的关键契机。B项表示“转折点出现在去年年初。”能承上启下，符合题意。
【40题详解】
由前文“Work and life are just like playing tennis.(工作和生活就像打网球。)”以及后文“What you have to do is get through them either way.(无论如何你都必须熬过这些困境。)”可知，前文将生活比作网球，后文阐述要直面困境，本空要说明生活有顺境也有逆境。D项表示“人生总有顺遂的日子，也会有十分难熬的时刻。”能承接上文比喻，引出下文感悟，符合题意。

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。
One of my tutors once asked our class to recall the moment when we felt the most alive, the moment we believed we held the world in our hands. Some talked about winning a big competition or receiving a precious award. Others described a trip to a faraway place or a proud achievement in their hobbies. My answer, however, made the class burst into soft laughter. It was the day I first learned to ride a bike at the age of fourteen. I didn’t mind their giggles, because I knew the story behind that ordinary day was far from simple.
My elder brother and I had never been close. We were like two strangers living under the same roof, always clashing over small things like who would take the last piece of cake or how to share the living room on weekends. I used to think he was cold and uninterested in me, and I tried to keep my distance to avoid arguments. Gradually, we fell into a silent routine: we ate separately, studied in different rooms, and never shared our feelings. Deep down, I felt lonely and hoped we could be friends, but I didn’t know how to break the ice.
Last spring, my brother gave me a second-hand bike as a birthday gift. It was not shiny or new, but it had a blue frame and a comfortable seat, which made me feel a little warm inside. However, excitement soon turned into frustration when I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My parents were busy with work and couldn’t teach me, so I decided to practice alone in the park near my home. Day after day, I tried to keep balance, but I kept falling off the bike, scraping my knees and palms. On a windy afternoon, after another hard fall, I threw the bike on the grass and burst into tears, feeling helpless and disappointed.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；

Just then, my brother walked out of the park gate.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Just then, my brother walked out of the park gate. He saw me sitting on the grass, tears rolling down my face, and the bike lying beside me. To my surprise, he didn’t laugh at me. Instead, he walked over quietly, sat down next to me, and patted my shoulder gently. “Don’t give up,” he said in a soft voice. “I’ll teach you.” He helped me stand up, adjusted the bike’s seat, and held the back of the bike firmly. We started slowly, with him guiding me and telling me to keep my balance and pedal steadily. He also shared that he once fell countless times when he first learned cycling.
I rode slowly at first, but soon I gained confidence. I felt the bike become steady, and when I turned around, I found my brother had let go of the bike. “I did it!” I shouted with excitement, riding forward freely. My brother stood there, smiling brightly at me. At that moment, the distance between us disappeared. All the past quarrels and cold silence seemed to fade away. That day, I not only learned to ride a bike but also broke the ice with my brother. It became my most precious memory, a moment full of warmth and growth.

When Lori Fugere’s 16-year-old dog Molly died in 2015, she thought she would never stop crying. “I was completely lost,” said Fugere, who lives in Salt Lake City. “Molly had been with me through everything — divorce, moves, career changes. When she was gone, I didn’t know who I was anymore.”
Weeks passed, and the grief did not fade. One day, scrolling through a local shelter’s website, she saw a photo of a 14-year-old mixed-breed dog named Tater. He had arthritis (关节炎), dental disease, and a cloudy eye. “He looked like nobody would ever want him,” she recalled. “I thought, maybe I could give him a good last chapter.”
Tater became the first of many. Over the next seven years, Fugere adopted 11 senior dogs and three with disabilities. Her home was filled with dogs that had been overlooked — blind dogs, three-legged dogs, dogs with heart conditions. “People always ask me, ‘Isn’t it sad?’” she said. “But the truth is, they give so much. They don’t feel sorry for themselves. They just want to be loved.”
Fugere’s mission began as a way to heal her own heart. But it has since grown into something larger. She now runs a social media page where she shares stories of her senior pets, encouraging others to consider adopting older animals. “These dogs have so much life left in them,” she said. “You’re not giving them a sad ending. You’re giving them the best years they’ve ever had.”
Looking back, Fugere says Molly’s death was the beginning of something unexpected. “I never imagined that losing my best friend would lead me to all of this — to saving so many lives, to finding a new purpose. It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.”
24. What does Lori Fugere’s “being completely lost” show after Molly’s death?
A. Her heavy reliance on Molly. B. Her guilt for Molly’s death.
C. Her loss of self-confidence. D. Her uncertainty about career.
25. What made Lori Fugere decide to adopt Tater?
A. Tater could keep her away from grief.
B. Tater’s special appearance attracted her.
C. She wanted to help Tater end its life well.
D. She needed a new dog to replace Molly.
26. What does Fugere think of the dogs she adopted?
A. They teach Fugere the meaning of sadness.
B. They help Fugere gain online popularity.
C. They bring Fugere economic benefits.
D. They give Fugere emotional comfort.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Grief can be turned into the power to help others.
B. Everyone should adopt at least one disabled dog.
C. Senior dogs are more loyal than younger ones.
D. Pets can help people get over all the pain in life.
C
For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.
Now, a new wave of vertical farms is emerging, backed by major investors and advances in LED lighting and automation. In cities like Newark, New Jersey, massive indoor farms now produce up to 2 million pounds of greens per year in spaces the size of a grocery store. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.
“We can grow anywhere,” said one industry executive. “We’re not dependent on climate, and we’re not dependent on seasons. We can put a farm in the middle of a city and deliver produce the same day it’s harvested.”
The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. With produce often traveling thousands of miles from farm to plate, local indoor farming offers an appealing alternative.
Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.
Perhaps the biggest limitation is what vertical farms can actually grow. The economics only work for high-value, fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Staple crops like wheat, rice, and corn — which feed the majority of the world’s population — are unlikely to ever be producible in vertical farms.
Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable. As one researcher put it, “This isn’t about growing all our food indoors. It’s about building resilience into our food system.”
28. What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 1?
A. It offers methods to cut farming costs.
B. It reflects expectations plus real challenges.
C. It shows the popularity of vertical farming.
D. It proves vertical farming improves food output.
29. What’s the strength of hydroponic systems?
A. It helps reduce the amount of energy consumption.
B. It makes the growth of indoor staple crops possible.
C. It can be operated without soil and weather limits.
D. It allows farmers to expand food production easily.
30. Which of the following do critics probably agree on?
A. Developing vertical farms needs careful consideration.
B. Using new technology needs lower construction costs.
C. Improving traditional farming needs little public support.
D. Cutting the cost of facilities in a small town needs action.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming?
A. Objective and reasonable. B. Skeptical and opposed.
C. Doubtful and pessimistic. D. Supportive and confident.
D
The moment our phone dies, panic sets in — we realize how deeply we rely on technology to avoid even the smallest inconveniences. We live in an age built around comfort, where smartphones, delivery apps, and AI assistants promise to reduce effort and spare us from discomfort. Yet this constant pursuit of ease comes at a hidden cost.
Studies reveal that while digital tools keep us “connected”, they often leave us more isolated. A 2026 survey by the American Psychological Association found that people spending over five hours a day on social media are three times more likely to report anxiety and loneliness. Worse, our reliance on technology erodes our ability to think for ourselves. Navigation apps, for instance, weaken spatial awareness and problem-solving skills. A recent study showed that regular users of such apps perform 40% worse on direction-related memory tests than those who rely on their own judgment.
Ironically, the discomfort we eagerly avoid is exactly what makes us stronger. Psychologists note that mild stress and challenges build resilience, while neuroscience confirms that small, manageable hardships boost neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to adapt. Simple acts like walking instead of riding, handwriting a note, or solving a problem without searching for the answer strengthen our mental muscles.
This does not mean rejecting technology entirely. The goal is to balance ease with intentional discomfort. “Micro-hardships” — small daily challenges that push us slightly out of our comfort zones — are key. Examples include putting your phone away during meals, doing a crossword puzzle instead of scrolling, or using cash instead of a phone to pay.
In a world that champions “work smarter, not harder”, we have forgotten that some hard work and discomfort are necessary for growth. Our obsession with ease has made us softer, more anxious, and less resilient. Next time you reach for your phone to avoid a minor inconvenience, pause and ask what you might be giving up by choosing comfort. Sometimes, embracing a little discomfort is the most rewarding path to becoming a stronger, more capable version of yourself.
32. What does the underlined word “erodes” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ignores. B. Protects. C. Develops. D. Weakens.
33. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Daily challenges always bring people great trouble.
B. We should refuse to use modern technology totally.
C. A comfortable life makes people more independent.
D. Proper hardships benefit people’s mental growth.
34. What is likely to be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Harmful effects of using high-tech devices.
B. Personalities shaped by modern technology.
C. Practical ways to accept proper hardships.
D. Motivations behind our pursuit of comfort.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Do We Have to Fear Inconvenience? B. Is Comfort Harming Our Growth?
C. Do We Need to Believe in Ourselves? D. Is It Wise to Reject Technology?

Li Jie stood on the courts of the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour MT400 tournament in Beijing’s Changping district, an international event that drew 880 tennis enthusiasts from home and abroad. She wasn’t just watching. She was competing. A year ago, Li Jie could not even deliver a basic overhand serve. The ball would drop at her feet or sail long. Rallies (对打) felt fragile. ____36____
Designed for players aged 30 and over, the tournament offers seven age groups from 30 all the way to over 70. According to registration data, it showed strong popularity across multiple age groups this year. ____37____ The 50+, 55+, and 60+ categories, however, showed steady growth, fully demonstrating the rising development of amateur tennis in Beijing and across China.

“I used to just rally back and forth — no matches at all,” she admits. “I only really started playing last year.” ____39____ The center launched off-peak “open play” sessions: play from 7 am to 4 pm for just under 40 yuan ($5.88). There, Li found her tribe — like-minded partners to practice with and organize friendly matches. That’s when tennis stopped being a casual hobby and became a serious passion.
“Work and life are just like playing tennis. ____40____ What you have to do is get through them either way. On the tennis court, no matter how bad your form is, or how good your opponent is, you still have to face the match. Then you try to win through effort and by making the necessary adjustments,” Li said in the interview.
A. Matches were out of the question.

D. There will always be smooth days and really tough days.
E. The daily training program for a match actually stressed her out.

One of my tutors once asked our class to recall the moment when we felt the most alive, the moment we believed we held the world in our hands. Some talked about winning a big competition or receiving a precious award. Others described a trip to a faraway place or a proud achievement in their hobbies. My answer, however, made the class burst into soft laughter. It was the day I first learned to ride a bike at the age of fourteen. I didn’t mind their giggles, because I knew the story behind that ordinary day was far from simple.
My elder brother and I had never been close. We were like two strangers living under the same roof, always clashing over small things like who would take the last piece of cake or how to share the living room on weekends. I used to think he was cold and uninterested in me, and I tried to keep my distance to avoid arguments. Gradually, we fell into a silent routine: we ate separately, studied in different rooms, and never shared our feelings. Deep down, I felt lonely and hoped we could be friends, but I didn’t know how to break the ice.
Last spring, my brother gave me a second-hand bike as a birthday gift. It was not shiny or new, but it had a blue frame and a comfortable seat, which made me feel a little warm inside. However, excitement soon turned into frustration when I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My parents were busy with work and couldn’t teach me, so I decided to practice alone in the park near my home. Day after day, I tried to keep balance, but I kept falling off the bike, scraping my knees and palms. On a windy afternoon, after another hard fall, I threw the bike on the grass and burst into tears, feeling helpless and disappointed.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, my brother walked out of the park gate.
