Have your parents ever helped you with your schoolwork? Do you think they help you too much? Du Peng, 18, from Hebei, has a story to 11 with us. When he was in middle school, his mother let him join in English-speaking competitions. To help her 12 win the competition, Du’s mother once asked a teacher to write the speech for him.
“Although I got a good result at the competition, I didn’t feel happy,” Du said.

三、阅读理解(45分)
第一节、阅读选择(30分)
A
Recently, a baby rabbit has been hanging around my backyard. It sometimes nibbles (啃) on green plants or lies lazily in the sunshine. Most of the time, it runs around sharply and rushes into corners so wildly that dirt flies up in messy circles. A human child acting this way would probably be made by their parents to clean up the yard and stay indoors. If only more children could be as lucky as rabbits.
In fact, most young people today aren’t able to enjoy such freedom of movement. The World Health Organization reports that 81 percent of teenagers around the world take insufficient exercise, and it adds that the number of young people who stay still for long hours usually goes up with economic (经济的) growth.
This situation does not happen by chance. Many children fail to reach woods, fields, and other open spaces where they might play freely, while others are not allowed to do such activities by their parents. In the United States, many parents usually stop their children from wild play because of safety worries or the influence of social standards, which require kids to stay quiet in public places like waiting rooms, subways, bookstores and restaurants. However, this preference for calm behavior may wrongly suggest that inactivity is better, despite the fact that physical movement is especially important for children’s development.
Research has found that children who move have healthier bones, muscles, and joints, and a lower future risk of being overweight or developing illnesses; active kids also have better thinking skills, get higher grades, and are more likely to stay on task than kids who are less active. And a recent study suggested that increased sedentary (久坐的) behavior in youth could affect a person’s mental health into adulthood.
Thankfully, providing kids with more freedom doesn’t cost much money. Mostly, it just requires a little creativity. For example, parents can let kids play freely on a cheap yoga ball or do simple movement challenges.
21. How is paragraph 1 developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By explaining reasons. D. By presenting a research.
22. What does the underlined word “insufficient” mean in paragraph 2?

24. What advantage can active kids get according to paragraph 4?
A. A lower risk of danger. B. Great housework skills.
C. Better attention control. D. Full prevention of illness.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text?

B
In the digital (数字) age, teenagers spend more time than ever on electronic devices (设备)—phones, pads and computers. But have you ever wondered how screen time influences reading speed? A recent study explored this question.
Researchers divided a total of 300 middle school students into four groups based on (基于) their average daily screen time: Group 1 (less than 1 hour), Group 2 (1-2 hours), Group 3 (2-3 hours) and Group 4 (more than 3 hours). Students from different grades and schools were chosen to make the results more scientific. All students were given the same 500-word passages to read, and their reading speed, tested in words per (每) minute, (WPM) was recorded. During the test, students were not allowed to use any electronic tools, ask for help, or discuss with their classmates. They were also required to finish reading the passage within 10 minutes.
The study showed a clear link between screen time and reading speed. Group 1 had an average reading speed of 180 WPM, while Group 2 reached 155 WPM. Group 3 dropped to 120 WPM, and Group 4 was the slowest at only 90 WPM. Experts explained that long screen time makes people get used to short, fast-paced (快节奏的) information like short videos, which weakens (削弱) their ability to pay attention to longer, more difficult texts for long periods. This not only slows reading speed but also harms the ability to understand the text’s deeper meaning.
However, the study also pointed out that not all screen time is bad for reading skills. Spending 30 to 60 minutes a day reading e-books can actually improve vocabulary (词汇量) and reading speed. The key is to balance screen time with offline reading activities. Teachers and parents are advised to guide students to make reasonable plans for screen time instead of just stopping the use of electronic devices.
26. Why did the researchers choose students from different grades and schools?
A. To get more support for the study.
B. To make the result believable and fair.
C. To let more people be interested in the study.
D. To compare students who read at different levels.
27. Which of the following can show the relationship between WPM and daily screen time?
A. B.
C. D.
28. Why does long screen time slow down reading speed?
A. It makes people avoid reading long and difficult texts.
B. It makes people get used to short and fast information.
C. It takes up much time in understanding the video deeply.
D. It makes people lose their interest in watching short videos.
29. How does the writer organize the text?
A. By telling a story and explaining a rule.
B. By asking a question and showing a study.
C. By introducing a tool and describing its use.
D. By comparing two objects and showing the result.
30. What might the writer talk about next?
A. Types of electronic devices for students.
B. Differences between e-books and paper books.
C. Ways to balance screen time and offline reading.
D. Examples of plans with more screen time than reading time.

Say you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game’s easy. So not worth the time,” of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd.
You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure, also called peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.
We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.
According to Dr. Casey from Cornel University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry.
Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.
While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.
31. According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens ________.
A. like to play driving games with their friends
B. prefer situations where they have time to think
C. may take more risks when their friends are around
D. are slow in making decisions when they are on their own
32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Friends often encourage each other to study or do sports.
B. People can be influenced to make unwise choices easily all the time.
C. Only teens are influenced by peers.
D. The decision to act or not is up to peers because we are always influenced by them.
33. The words “in the heat of the moment” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “________”
A. when teens avoid possible risks B. when teens trust their judgment
C. when teens lose control over their anger D. when teens give consideration to situations
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Teens are eager to be different from their peers.
B. Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.
C. Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.
D. Teens think it challenging to get good grades at school.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?
B. Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?
C. Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making
D. Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making
第二节、阅读填空(5分)
Many young people today don’t want to be noticed by others. Why do they feel this way? Have you ever felt the same?
At my school, some students dislike being the center of attention. 36 I think pressure is a key reason. Being noticed means mistakes are easy to be seen and judgment comes quickly, which can make people stressed. Once, my history teacher asked me to present my project. Standing in front of the class made me uncomfortable. I spoke quickly and avoided looking at anyone. It wasn’t fear—it was the pressure of being watched.
37 They enjoy being noticed, especially when they are doing something they love. If a girl loves dancing, she may happily stand out and dance for her classmates.
38 In Germany, children are taught that being quiet is not a weakness. In school, students who listen carefully and don’t try to stand out are often seen as serious. That’s why many young people there avoid attention. Germans value order, teamwork and modesty (谦虚). For them, confidence means being calm and thoughtful. 39
So, what about you? Do you enjoy shining in front of others or thinking deeply in quiet ways? There’s no right or wrong. Both are all right. 40 Everyone has their own way of feeling comfortable and confident. Our differences make the world amazing.
A. I’ve hardly been noticed before.
B. Some students are different, though.
C. Being quiet may come from culture and habit.
D. After all, being true to yourself always matters.
E. They stay quiet in class and avoid speaking up.
F. They don’t care about whether they are noticed or not.

第二节、回答问题(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Innovation (创新) plays an important role in improving life and developing society. It is not just about big inventions but also about small changes in daily life. Everyone can be innovative if they are willing to practice and explore.
First, innovation needs practice. You cannot create something new just by thinking. You must do it with your hands. For example, if you want to make a better school bag, you need to cut cloth and design it many times. Each time you fail, you learn something useful. Thomas Edison tried thousands of times before he made the light bulb work. Practice turns simple ideas into real things.
Second, innovation requires courage. Many people are afraid of making mistakes. That’s why they only follow old ways. But innovators are different. They are brave to ask “why” and “what if”. When they meet problems, they do not give up. They try strange ideas that others may laugh at. This courage helps them find new methods that no one has tried before.
Third, innovation calls for an open mind. You should look at things in different ways. A bottle is not just for holding water. It can become a flower pot or a pencil holder. When you connect old things in new ways, you create surprises. Reading books and talking with different people can give you fresh thoughts.
To develop your innovative spirit, start with small steps. Remember, innovation is not a gift for special people. It is a habit that anyone can build through practice, courage and an open mind. Only in this habit will your innovative spirit grow day by day.
51. What is innovation about?
52. Why do many people only follow old ways?
53. What does innovation need according to the text?
54. What does the writer want to tell us about innovative spirit at the end of the passage? What three key qualities help us form this spirit?
55. Why should people develop innovative spirit? Write 30 words or more.
第三节、语法填空(4分)
A new study came out to clear up myths (错误观念) about healthy sleep habits for teenagers. The study was 56 (make) by researchers at a hospital in America.
Published in the magazine Sleep Health, the study was made after researchers first surveyed about 200 parents on sleep myths. The researchers found that more than 66% of parents believed at least some of the myths were true . “Parents and teenagers turn to the Internet for guidance (指导) on topics such as sleep,” said Rebecca Robbins, a study writer. “ 57 the Internet can give some information, there is the sad chance that wrong information can be accepted as fact.”
For example, 74% of parents believed it’s OK 58 (allow) teens to stay up late and sleep late at weekends. However, studies show that having different sleep time at weekends compared to (与……相比) weekdays can have a 59 (bad) influence on a teenager’s schoolwork. It is healthy to sleep about nine hours a day.
About 66% of parents surveyed believed that supplements (补充剂) with melatonin (褪黑素) are safe for teenagers to take. Taking a melatonin supplement can be useful. But teenagers shouldn’t take it without a doctor’s suggestions. One reason is that the amount of melatonin in supplements can vary (差异) 60 (wide).
A third myth the study dealt with was the idea that getting too much sleep is a problem. Most teenagers aren’t getting enough sleep in fact. It’s suggested that teenagers sleep eight to ten hours per night. The study’s writer said they hope to show more facts about sleep to encourage better sleeping habits among young people.

三、阅读理解(45分)
第一节、阅读选择(30分)
A
Recently, a baby rabbit has been hanging around my backyard. It sometimes nibbles (啃) on green plants or lies lazily in the sunshine. Most of the time, it runs around sharply and rushes into corners so wildly that dirt flies up in messy circles. A human child acting this way would probably be made by their parents to clean up the yard and stay indoors. If only more children could be as lucky as rabbits.
In fact, most young people today aren’t able to enjoy such freedom of movement. The World Health Organization reports that 81 percent of teenagers around the world take insufficient exercise, and it adds that the number of young people who stay still for long hours usually goes up with economic (经济的) growth.
This situation does not happen by chance. Many children fail to reach woods, fields, and other open spaces where they might play freely, while others are not allowed to do such activities by their parents. In the United States, many parents usually stop their children from wild play because of safety worries or the influence of social standards, which require kids to stay quiet in public places like waiting rooms, subways, bookstores and restaurants. However, this preference for calm behavior may wrongly suggest that inactivity is better, despite the fact that physical movement is especially important for children’s development.
Research has found that children who move have healthier bones, muscles, and joints, and a lower future risk of being overweight or developing illnesses; active kids also have better thinking skills, get higher grades, and are more likely to stay on task than kids who are less active. And a recent study suggested that increased sedentary (久坐的) behavior in youth could affect a person’s mental health into adulthood.
Thankfully, providing kids with more freedom doesn’t cost much money. Mostly, it just requires a little creativity. For example, parents can let kids play freely on a cheap yoga ball or do simple movement challenges.
21. How is paragraph 1 developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By explaining reasons. D. By presenting a research.
22. What does the underlined word “insufficient” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Very safe. B. Not enough. C. Quite popular. D. Never boring.
23. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Why children are short of free movement. B. How parents help with kids’ schoolwork.
C. Where children play in open public places. D. What safety problems kids face outdoors.
24. What advantage can active kids get according to paragraph 4?
A. A lower risk of danger. B. Great housework skills.
C. Better attention control. D. Full prevention of illness.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Little Rabbits Want Protection B. The Influence of Social Standards
C. Kids Need More Freedom to Play D. Ways to Improve Teenagers’ Grades
【答案】21. B 22. B 23. A 24. C 25. C
【解析】本文是一篇议论文,从自家后院的小兔子写起,引出全球青少年运动量不足的现状,分析了原因,阐述了运动对儿童的益处,并呼吁给予孩子更多自由活动的空间。
21. 第一段通过对比小兔子的自由奔跑和人类孩子被要求待在室内的行为来展开:“A human child acting this way would probably be made by their parents to clean up the yard and stay indoors.” 用兔子与人类孩子做对比。
22. 第二段中“…81 percent of teenagers around the world take insufficient exercise”,结合上下文“不能享受自由活动”可知,insufficient意为“不足的”,即not enough。
23. 第三段开头“This situation does not happen by chance”直接点明本段讨论原因:许多孩子无法到达开放空间,或被父母禁止自由玩耍,美国家长因安全担忧和社会标准限制孩子。因此本段主要讲“为什么孩子缺乏自由活动”。
24. 第四段明确指出:“active kids also have better thinking skills, get higher grades, and are more likely to stay on task than kids who are less active.” stay on task即注意力控制更好。
25. 全文围绕孩子需要更多自由活动空间展开,从现象→原因→益处→建议,C选项“Kids Need More Freedom to Play”最能概括主旨。
B
In the digital (数字) age, teenagers spend more time than ever on electronic devices (设备)—phones, pads and computers. But have you ever wondered how screen time influences reading speed? A recent study explored this question.
Researchers divided a total of 300 middle school students into four groups based on (基于) their average daily screen time: Group 1 (less than 1 hour), Group 2 (1-2 hours), Group 3 (2-3 hours) and Group 4 (more than 3 hours). Students from different grades and schools were chosen to make the results more scientific. All students were given the same 500-word passages to read, and their reading speed, tested in words per (每) minute, (WPM) was recorded. During the test, students were not allowed to use any electronic tools, ask for help, or discuss with their classmates. They were also required to finish reading the passage within 10 minutes.
The study showed a clear link between screen time and reading speed. Group 1 had an average reading speed of 180 WPM, while Group 2 reached 155 WPM. Group 3 dropped to 120 WPM, and Group 4 was the slowest at only 90 WPM. Experts explained that long screen time makes people get used to short, fast-paced (快节奏的) information like short videos, which weakens (削弱) their ability to pay attention to longer, more difficult texts for long periods. This not only slows reading speed but also harms the ability to understand the text’s deeper meaning.
However, the study also pointed out that not all screen time is bad for reading skills. Spending 30 to 60 minutes a day reading e-books can actually improve vocabulary (词汇量) and reading speed. The key is to balance screen time with offline reading activities. Teachers and parents are advised to guide students to make reasonable plans for screen time instead of just stopping the use of electronic devices.
26. Why did the researchers choose students from different grades and schools?
A. To get more support for the study.
B. To make the result believable and fair.
C. To let more people be interested in the study.
D. To compare students who read at different levels.
27. Which of the following can show the relationship between WPM and daily screen time?
A. B.
C. D.
28. Why does long screen time slow down reading speed?
A. It makes people avoid reading long and difficult texts.
B. It makes people get used to short and fast information.
C. It takes up much time in understanding the video deeply.
D. It makes people lose their interest in watching short videos.
29. How does the writer organize the text?
A. By telling a story and explaining a rule.
B. By asking a question and showing a study.
C. By introducing a tool and describing its use.
D. By comparing two objects and showing the result.
30. What might the writer talk about next?
A. Types of electronic devices for students.
B. Differences between e-books and paper books.
C. Ways to balance screen time and offline reading.
D. Examples of plans with more screen time than reading time.
【答案】26. B 27. A 28. B 29. B 30. C
【解析】本文主要通过介绍一项研究,探讨了青少年屏幕时间长短与其阅读速度之间的关系,并分析了原因,同时指出了合理利用屏幕时间的积极作用。
26. 第二段指出“Students from different grades and schools were chosen to make the results more scientific.”,研究者选择不同年级和学校的学生是为了使结果更科学,即可信且公正。
27. 第三段指出“Group 1... 180 WPM... Group 2... 155 WPM... Group 3... 120 WPM... Group 4... 90 WPM”,随着每日屏幕时间的增加,平均阅读速度(WPM)呈现下降趋势。图表应能体现这种负相关关系。
28. 第三段指出“Experts explained that long screen time makes people get used to short, fast-paced information... which weakens their ability to pay attention to longer, more difficult texts for long periods.”,长时间面对屏幕会使人们习惯于短平快的信息,从而削弱其长时间专注阅读较长、较难文本的能力,导致阅读速度下降。
29. 第一段指出“But have you ever wondered how screen time influences reading speed?”,随后通过“A recent study explored this question.”引出对一项研究的具体介绍。因此,作者是通过提出一个问题并呈现一项研究来组织文章的。
30. 本文结尾提出关键是要平衡屏幕时间与线下阅读活动,并建议教师和家长引导学生制定合理计划。因此,作者接下来最有可能讨论的是平衡线上与线下阅读的方法。
C
Say you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game’s easy. So not worth the time,” of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd.
You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure, also called peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.
We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.
According to Dr. Casey from Cornel University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry.
Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.
While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.
31. According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens ________.
A. like to play driving games with their friends
B. prefer situations where they have time to think
C. may take more risks when their friends are around
D. are slow in making decisions when they are on their own
32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Friends often encourage each other to study or do sports.
B. People can be influenced to make unwise choices easily all the time.
C. Only teens are influenced by peers.
D. The decision to act or not is up to peers because we are always influenced by them.
33. The words “in the heat of the moment” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “________”
A. when teens avoid possible risks B. when teens trust their judgment
C. when teens lose control over their anger D. when teens give consideration to situations
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Teens are eager to be different from their peers.
B. Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.
C. Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.
D. Teens think it challenging to get good grades at school.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?
B. Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?
C. Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making
D. Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】本文谈论的是同伴压力对青少年的影响,尤其是对青少年做决定的影响。
31. 细节理解题。根据“The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone.”可知,Dr. Casey认为身边有朋友的时候会有更多的风险。故选C。
32. 细节理解题。根据“Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones.”可知,同伴压力不仅会影响我们做出错误的决定,也会影响我们做出好的选择。故选A。
33. 词句猜测题。根据“According to Dr. Casey from Cornel University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think.”可知,在依靠自己或者有时间可以思考的情况下,青少年会又快又准确地做出决定。结合后面的however一词,可知后面的与之相反的情况,即“当青少年无法控制自己的愤怒时”的情况。故选C。
34. 细节理解题。根据“We are all influenced by our peers at any age.”可知,同伴压力对青少年和成年人都有影响。故选B。
35. 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了同伴压力对任何年龄段都有影响,特别讲述了它对青少年的决定影响和行为的影响。用“Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making.”做标题最合适。故选D。
第二节、阅读填空(5分)
Many young people today don’t want to be noticed by others. Why do they feel this way? Have you ever felt the same?
At my school, some students dislike being the center of attention. 36 I think pressure is a key reason. Being noticed means mistakes are easy to be seen and judgment comes quickly, which can make people stressed. Once, my history teacher asked me to present my project. Standing in front of the class made me uncomfortable. I spoke quickly and avoided looking at anyone. It wasn’t fear—it was the pressure of being watched.
37 They enjoy being noticed, especially when they are doing something they love. If a girl loves dancing, she may happily stand out and dance for her classmates.
38 In Germany, children are taught that being quiet is not a weakness. In school, students who listen carefully and don’t try to stand out are often seen as serious. That’s why many young people there avoid attention. Germans value order, teamwork and modesty (谦虚). For them, confidence means being calm and thoughtful. 39
So, what about you? Do you enjoy shining in front of others or thinking deeply in quiet ways? There’s no right or wrong. Both are all right. 40 Everyone has their own way of feeling comfortable and confident. Our differences make the world amazing.
A. I’ve hardly been noticed before.
B. Some students are different, though.
C. Being quiet may come from culture and habit.
D. After all, being true to yourself always matters.
E. They stay quiet in class and avoid speaking up.
F. They don’t care about whether they are noticed or not.
【答案】36. E 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. D
【解析】本文主要探讨了当代年轻人对“被他人关注”的不同态度,分析了回避关注的压力原因、文化影响,同时提及了喜欢被关注的群体,最终强调两种状态没有对错,忠于自我、找到舒适自信的方式才最重要。
36. 根据前文“At my school, some students dislike being the center of attention”描述的部分学生不喜欢成为关注焦点的现象,后文引出“I think pressure is a key reason”的原因分析,可知此处应具体说明这些学生回避关注的行为表现。E选项“They stay quiet in class and avoid speaking up.”具体描述了这类学生的行为,承接前文现象,符合语境。
37. 根据前文讲述的“部分学生不喜欢被关注”,后文“They enjoy being noticed, especially when they are doing something they love”描述的相反态度,可知此处需要一个转折句,引出另一类学生的不同表现。B选项“Some students are different, though.”通过转折关系,自然过渡到下文的相反情况,符合语境。
38. 根据后文“In Germany, children are taught that being quiet is not a weakness”及德国文化对安静、谦虚的价值导向,可知此处应总领本段,点明“回避关注”的另一个核心原因。C选项“Being quiet may come from culture and habit.”作为段首总起句,引出后文德国文化的例子,符合语境。
39. 根据前文讲述的德国文化中“安静、谦虚是优点”的价值观,可知此处应承接前文,说明这类文化观念对年轻人的影响。F选项“They don’t care about whether they are noticed or not.”承接前文的文化导向,说明受这种观念影响的年轻人的状态,符合语境。
40. 根据前文“There’s no right or wrong. Both are all right”对两种态度的肯定,后文“Everyone has their own way of feeling comfortable and confident”的总结,可知此处需要一个升华主旨的句子,衔接前后内容。D选项“After all, being true to yourself always matters.”点明文章核心主旨,呼应前后文,符合语境。

第二节、回答问题(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Innovation (创新) plays an important role in improving life and developing society. It is not just about big inventions but also about small changes in daily life. Everyone can be innovative if they are willing to practice and explore.
First, innovation needs practice. You cannot create something new just by thinking. You must do it with your hands. For example, if you want to make a better school bag, you need to cut cloth and design it many times. Each time you fail, you learn something useful. Thomas Edison tried thousands of times before he made the light bulb work. Practice turns simple ideas into real things.
Second, innovation requires courage. Many people are afraid of making mistakes. That’s why they only follow old ways. But innovators are different. They are brave to ask “why” and “what if”. When they meet problems, they do not give up. They try strange ideas that others may laugh at. This courage helps them find new methods that no one has tried before.
Third, innovation calls for an open mind. You should look at things in different ways. A bottle is not just for holding water. It can become a flower pot or a pencil holder. When you connect old things in new ways, you create surprises. Reading books and talking with different people can give you fresh thoughts.
To develop your innovative spirit, start with small steps. Remember, innovation is not a gift for special people. It is a habit that anyone can build through practice, courage and an open mind. Only in this habit will your innovative spirit grow day by day.
51. What is innovation about?
52. Why do many people only follow old ways?
53. What does innovation need according to the text?
54. What does the writer want to tell us about innovative spirit at the end of the passage? What three key qualities help us form this spirit?
55. Why should people develop innovative spirit? Write 30 words or more.
【答案】51. It is not just about big inventions but also about small changes in daily life. 52. Because they are afraid of making mistakes. 53. Practice, courage and an open mind.
54. The writer tells us innovative spirit is a daily habit instead of a natural gift for certain people. We can develop it with constant practice, bravery and an open mind little by little.
55. Because innovation plays an important role in improving life and developing society. Developing innovative spirit helps us come up with new ideas, solve problems better and make our lives and our world better. (答案不唯一,合理即可)
【解析】本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了创新在改善生活、推动社会发展中的重要作用,阐释了创新需要具备的三个核心要素(实践、勇气、开放的思维),并鼓励大家通过日常小事培养创新精神。
51. 首段直接点明“It is not just about big inventions but also about small changes in daily life”,明确说明了创新不仅关乎重大发明,也关乎日常生活中的微小改变。这是原文直接给出的核心定义信息,直接提取即可。
52. 第三段首句直接给出原因“Many people are afraid of making mistakes. That’s why they only follow old ways”,说明很多人只遵循旧方法,是因为他们害怕犯错。这是原文直接引述的因果逻辑信息,可直接作答。
53. 文章第二、三、四段分别用“First, innovation needs practice”“Second, innovation requires courage”“Third, innovation calls for an open mind”三个并列段落,明确给出了创新需要的三个核心条件:实践、勇气和开放的思维。答案是对这三段核心信息的概括整合。
54. 文章最后一段:innovation is not a gift for special people. It is a habit that anyone can build。
核心要点:创新精神不是少数人的天赋,而是所有人都能培养的习惯,坚持下去就能日渐提升。
原文直接给出三个并列名词:practice, courage and an open mind,直接摘抄即可。
55. 本题是开放性试题,答案不唯一,结合文章首段“Innovation plays an important role in improving life and developing society”的核心观点,以及文末“innovation...is a habit that anyone can build through practice, courage and an open mind”的论述,可从“创新能让我们的生活更美好、推动社会进步,还能让我们在实践中不断成长,用新的视角解决问题”等角度展开,满足30词以上的字数要求,观点合理、逻辑通顺即可。
第三节、语法填空(4分)
A new study came out to clear up myths (错误观念) about healthy sleep habits for teenagers. The study was 56 (make) by researchers at a hospital in America.
Published in the magazine Sleep Health, the study was made after researchers first surveyed about 200 parents on sleep myths. The researchers found that more than 66% of parents believed at least some of the myths were true . “Parents and teenagers turn to the Internet for guidance (指导) on topics such as sleep,” said Rebecca Robbins, a study writer. “ 57 the Internet can give some information, there is the sad chance that wrong information can be accepted as fact.”
For example, 74% of parents believed it’s OK 58 (allow) teens to stay up late and sleep late at weekends. However, studies show that having different sleep time at weekends compared to (与……相比) weekdays can have a 59 (bad) influence on a teenager’s schoolwork. It is healthy to sleep about nine hours a day.
About 66% of parents surveyed believed that supplements (补充剂) with melatonin (褪黑素) are safe for teenagers to take. Taking a melatonin supplement can be useful. But teenagers shouldn’t take it without a doctor’s suggestions. One reason is that the amount of melatonin in supplements can vary (差异) 60 (wide).
A third myth the study dealt with was the idea that getting too much sleep is a problem. Most teenagers aren’t getting enough sleep in fact. It’s suggested that teenagers sleep eight to ten hours per night. The study’s writer said they hope to show more facts about sleep to encourage better sleeping habits among young people.
【答案】56. was made 57. Although/Though 58. to allow 59. worse 60. widely
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项旨在澄清关于青少年健康睡眠习惯错误观念的新研究,探讨了诸如周末补觉、使用褪黑素补充剂以及睡眠时间长短等常见误区,并呼吁年轻人养成良好的睡眠习惯。
56. 句意:这项研究是由美国一家医院的研究人员进行的。主语The study与make之间为被动关系,表示“被进行/被完成”,应用一般过去时的被动语态“was/were + 过去分词”。make的过去分词为made。
57. 句意:虽然网络可以提供一些信息,但错误信息也有可能被当成事实接受。前后两句存在让步关系,此处引导让步状语从句,用连词Although/Though。
58. 句意:例如,74%的家长认为允许青少年周末晚睡晚起是没问题的。固定句型 it’s OK to do sth.,表示“做某事是可以的”,不定式作真正主语,故填to allow。
59. 句意:然而,研究表明,周末与工作日睡眠时间不同会对青少年的学业产生更坏的影响。influence为名词,需用形容词修饰。bad为原级,但此处暗含与“规律睡眠”对比,应用比较级worse表示“更坏的”。
60. 句意:原因之一是补充剂中褪黑素的含量可能差异很大。修饰动词vary,应用副词。wide的副词形式为widely,表示“广泛地、差异很大地”。

【答案】
Dear Simon,
I am sorry to hear that you have some difficulties in your life. I totally understand your feelings as lots of Grade 9 students face the same troubles.
For your heavy study pressure, you can take regular exercise like jogging after class. It eases your nervous mood greatly. Besides, making a practical study plan stops you from staying up late and feeling worn out.
As for the misunderstanding with your parents, sit down to share your true thoughts patiently. You may also talk about your daily stress with them. They will gradually learn about your situation and give you more support.
Don’t stay anxious all the time. Small changes will bring nice results sooner or later.
Good luck with everything!
