Passage 1
It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. 1 And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)?
Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 45-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. 2
However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. 3 Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying, they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. 4 Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much.
5 The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding.
A.So, is short-form video helping or hurting?
B.This makes learning fit easily into daily life.
C.Many creators make money by posting educational short clips.
D.To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.
E.Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time.
F.Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.
G.This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.
Passage 2
Many people believe that happiness is something we either have or don’t have — a fixed state that depends on circumstances beyond our control. However, positive psychology research increasingly suggests that happiness is less about what happens to us and more about what we actively do. 1
One of the most well-documented strategies is practicing gratitude. Studies have shown that people who regularly write down things they’re grateful for report higher levels of life satisfaction. 2 This simple act shifts attention from what ‘s lacking to what ‘s present, creating a more positive outlook.
Another powerful approach is cultivating meaningful connections. While career achievements and material possessions can provide temporary satisfaction, research consistently finds that the quality of our relationships is the strongest predictor of long-term happiness. 3 It’s the depth of connection and genuine exchange that makes the difference.
Engaging in activities that produce “flow” — a state of complete absorption in what you’re doing — also contributes significantly to well-being. 4 These experiences, whether in work, hobbies, or sports, provide a sense of purpose and mastery that surface-level entertainment cannot match.
5 Rather than seeing happiness as a distant goal to be achieved after completing certain milestones, research suggests it is better understood as a practice to be cultivated through intentional daily choices. Small, consistent actions — reaching out to a friend, taking a walk in nature, or pausing to appreciate a beautiful moment — accumulate to create lasting well-being.
Happiness, it turns out, is not a destination but a journey, not a gift but a skill. And like any skill, it improves with practice.
A.This isn’t about the number of social connections.
B.Therefore, pursuing happiness should be your top priority.
C.These are activities that challenge us just enough to keep us fully engaged.
D.The key, researchers argue, lies in developing certain habits and mindsets.
E.Perhaps the most fundamental insight is that happiness is a practice, not an outcome.
F.Furthermore, achieving success guarantees happiness.
G.Even a simple daily journal can produce measurable improvements in mood.
Passage 3
Ah, punctuality — the art of being precisely on time. It’s a concept so deeply rooted in some cultures that even being a minute late can cause a small-scale panic attack. 1 Let’s examine whether punctuality is the defining feature of a superior society or merely another subjective construct.
Each part of the world has a unique relationship with time, enriching the fabric of global culture. In Japan, for example, you’re always expected to arrive on time, and preferably a few minutes early. 2 Tough luck, but the next one will be there precisely on the dot. In contrast, the Philippines has a more relaxed approach to time. If someone says 3 o’clock, arriving around 3:30 is common and expected. This isn’t laziness, but a cultural preference for living in the moment.
But does being punctual make a culture more advanced? The Swiss are celebrated for their precision and punctuality, often cited as a perfect example of efficiency. Their trains run on time, their watches are the gold standard. 3 And Switzerland is often ranked as one of the most developed and happiest countries in the world, but let’s wait a bit to conclude.
Consider the case of Brazil, where “Brazilian time” is a well-known concept. 4 If you attend a party at the specified time, you’ll likely find the host still in their bathrobe. Many Brazilians have a laid-back approach to life. They don’t sweat the small stuff like running five minutes late because they’re busy enjoying life. Many live by the motto, “Tudo bem,” which means “It’s all good.” Honestly, they seem to be onto something.
So, is punctuality essential? It depends on what cultures you are in. Whether you’re a stickler for punctuality or more laid-back, what truly matters is how you spend your time. 5 Let’s try to find that middle ground where we can respect others’ time while embracing the joy of living in the moment. Ultimately, time is just a construct, and life is too short to stress about being late.
A.There, being late is not only accepted but expected.
B.You could set your clock by their daily routines.
C.Are you enjoying the journey or constantly watching the clock?
D.But is punctuality essential?
E.Punctuality is timeless art.
F.Miss a train by a minute?
G.In this context, punctuality is flexible.
Passage 4
If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things.
Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. 1 And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at. 2 The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies.
3 Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions.
The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. 4 They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and don’t know.
So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. 5 The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog.
A.In other words, there are clear advantages for each.
B.They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes.
C.Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence.
D.But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing.
E.However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs.
F.When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional.
G.They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position.
Passage 5
This year, I received an exciting message from the Science Center: out of nearly 2,000 applicants, only 40 high school students were selected to take part in their famous summer program, and I was one of them! 1
For the two-week summer program, I chose to focus on a biology project. My research centered on investigating the presence and impact of bacteria (细菌) in different water sources — specifically comparing wild lake water with home pool water to determine which was more harmful. 2 Those are two fields I’m deeply passionate about.
The laboratory work was challenging but extremely rewarding. I remember the first day I set out to collect water samples. The lake was peaceful, but beneath that calm surface hid something far less harmless. In contrast, the pool’s crystal-clear water seemed almost too clean, and I wondered how the tests would turn out.
3 . The process involved culturing the bacteria, monitoring their growth and comparing the results from both sources. When the data finally came in, it was both shocking and enlightening. The pool water was surprisingly clean, with hardly any bacteria present. On the other hand, the lake water, despite its beautiful appearance, was full of bacteria — definitely not safe for drinking. 4
Once my experiments were complete, I poured all my energy into writing a detailed report. On the last day of the program, I had the opportunity to present my work to a group of 15 mentors (导师). 5 — I was not just a student; I was like a scientist sharing my discoveries with the world.
A.Back in the lab, I analyzed the samples.
B.Standing before them, explaining my project, I felt proud.
C.I hope to undertake a biomedical project at the Science Center.
D.My time at the Science Center has given me a clear sense of purpose.
E.These results highlighted the hidden dangers that untreated water can pose.
F.The moment I opened that letter, I knew this was going to be a life-changing experience.
G.This topic interested me because it combined both environmental science and public health.
Passage 6
In life, just like in chess, every move matters. A single decision can trigger (引发) a chain reaction, leading you closer to success or trapping you in setbacks. Grand masters spend years mastering the complexities of chess. 1 Adopting a grand master’s approaches can transform the way you address daily challenges.
•Think ahead: Always plan your next move
Chess grand masters never make a move without considering the consequences. 2 Meanwhile, they plan several moves ahead. In life, short-term thinking often leads to regret, while long-term thinking contributes to success. Strategic thinkers don’t just react to situations. They anticipate and prepare.
•Control the center: Concentrate on what matters most
In chess, controlling the center of the board gives you more influence and flexibility. In life, focusing on the most important areas gives you control over your future. Specifically, pay attention to high-impact tasks rather than being busy with meaningless activities. 3
•Learn from every move: Reflect on success or failure
Every chess game, win or lose, teaches a lesson. 4 In life, too many people are buried in thinking of failure instead of learning and adapting. Each experience is a lesson in making better future decisions. Therefore, seeing every setback as feedback, not failure is top priority. Winners don’t just move on. They move forward with greater wisdom.
Thinking like a chess grand master isn’t about being overly cautious — it’s about being smart, strategic and intentional in your choices. 5 So the next time you face a tough decision, wait and ask yourself like a chess grand master: What’s my next move?
A.They predict how their opponents will react.
B.Playing chess never goes exactly as planned.
C.Every decision, big or small, shapes your future.
D.Grand masters analyze their mistakes to improve.
E.Winning in life depends on where you place your focus.
F.Chess players often sacrifice a piece to gain a winning position.
G.The core principles they use can be applied to everyday decisions.
Passage 7
I once thought life was at its best in your 30s or 40s — when your career was going well, your kids still needed you, and you had plenty of energy. By the time I hit my late 60s, I figured the best of it was behind me. 1
I used to think that the best years of life were for making big changes, going on adventures, and choosing bravely. I never realized how much I believed that idea — until a sudden moment made me doubt it completely.
It started with a yoga class. A friend had been asking me to join her for months, but I always had an excuse — too busy, too stiff (僵硬的), too old. 2 I walked into that studio feeling completely out of place, surrounded by people half my age who bent flexibly while I struggled just to touch my toes (脚趾).
3 It wasn’t just about the yoga; it was about proving to myself that I could still try something new, even if it made me uncomfortable. That one small “yes” opened the door to more. I signed up for a watercolor painting class, even though I’d never held a brush before. 4 Each “yes” led to another, and before long, my days were filled with things that excited and challenged me.
The funny thing? 5 I stopped worrying about whether I’d be good at something or if people would think I was out of place. Instead, I started focusing on how much fun it was just to try.
A.But something shifted that day.
B.The more I said yes, the less afraid I became.
C.Finally, just to stop her from pushing me, I said yes.
D.I realized that trying new things was only for the young.
E.My days were fine, but they felt routine and predictable.
F.At last, I could enjoy the peace of a quiet retirement life.
G.What’s more, I also joined a hiking group, though I hadn’t hiked for years.
Passage 8
Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. 1
The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”. 2 For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles.
3 That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go.
Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be self-assured. Express your needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset. Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment. Additionally, withdraw from external influences. 4 Lastly, manage relationships. Recognize your personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t poke your nose into other people’s subjects and don’t let others get involved in yours either.
I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. 5 Once you become a bit “sluggish” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.
A.Insensitivity springs from self-awareness.
B.Insensitivity fuels deep focus on personal goals.
C.That is where the need to be insensitive comes from.
D.This shows the importance of keeping sensitive under control.
E.It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward.
F.It is this gentle “sluggishness” that frees us from the noise and brings us back to peace.
G.Avoid too much concern over others’ opinions and assumptions about others’ thoughts.
Passage 9
Fast-paced lifestyles have led to countless myths about healthy eating, many of which are widely accepted but lack scientific evidence. 1 Understanding the truth behind these myths is key to building a sustainable, healthy diet.
One of the most persistent myths is that skipping meals helps with weight loss. 2 A 2022 study tracked over 24,000 participants and found that eating only one meal a day increased all-cause death rate by 30% and cardiovascular disease death rate by 83%, while two meals a day also raised health risks. Skipping meals disrupts blood sugar levels, slows metabolism, and often leads to overeating later, making weight loss harder in the long run.
3 Many people believe that all fats are harmful and should be wiped away from the diet. In fact, healthy fats — such as those from avocados, nuts, and fatty fish — are essential for hormone production, brain function, and nutrient absorption. The key is to choose unsaturated fats over trans fats and excessive saturated fats, not to cut out all fats entirely.
Another common myth is that “natural” or “organic” foods are always healthier than conventional options. While organic produce may reduce exposure to certain pesticides, 4 Nutritionally, there is no significant difference between organic and conventional fruits, vegetables, or grains. The most important factor is eating a variety of whole foods, regardless of their farming method.
Finally, the myth that late-night eating automatically leads to weight gain is also misleading. 5 What matters far more is your total daily calorie intake and the quality of the food you eat, rather than the exact time you consume it. Irregular eating patterns, however, do harm to gut health and immune function, so maintaining regular meal times is still recommended.
By clarifying these myths, we can make informed choices that support long-term health, rather than following unproven trends.
A.It’s time to separate fact from fiction and challenge these long-held beliefs.
B.Weight gain occurs when you consume more calories than your body burns, regardless of when you eat.
C.Many people struggle to stick to three regular meals a day due to busy work schedules.
D.The next myth centers on the role of fat in a healthy diet.
E.This is completely untrue, as skipping meals poses severe risks to both longevity and metabolic health.
F.it does not guarantee better nutrition or lower calorie content.
G.Regular meals help maintain the rhythmic activation of the gut immune system.
Passage 10
You may compare yourself to your peers to find your place in different parts of life. 1 You might assess your economic status in relation to others by observing their houses or vehicles. If you are in an academic or medical field, you might check others’ publications and qualifications to measure how your professional achievements compare to theirs. If you find yourself feeling worse after comparing yourself to others, don’t despair. Here are some tips to help you avoid the trap of social comparisons.
2 Success isn’t a situation where one person gains only when others lose. Everyone is climbing a different mountain. Someone achieving their goals does not mean you cannot achieve your goals. Your success may look different from what you have originally expected. Be flexible and embrace the uncertainty of your journey.
Set boundaries with social media. Social media is a platform that expands social comparisons. 3 As a personal example, I find it harder to set boundaries with social media when my cellphone is on me, even if it is noiseless. As a result, when I return home from work, I leave it in the mudroom. This action creates a physical boundary between me and my cellphone, which helps me be more present with loved ones.
Give yourself grace. Letting go of old habits is hard, especially when they are widely popular in society. 4 Give yourself grace when this happens. Continue to shift your focus toward what matters most: being present with yourself and your loved ones.
Be curious. Adopting a curious mindset can spare you from feelings of envy and inadequacy when comparing yourself to others. When someone achieves a goal you desire, study their success. 5
A.Focus on personal growth.
B.Make sure to set limits with it.
C.This is totally understandable.
D.Success is like a high mountain.
E.You may fall for the trap of social comparisons.
F.Don’t ignore your loved ones on the way to your goal.
G.It leaves behind clues to help you achieve your own personal goals.
Passage 11
Are You an Underthinker?
We’ve all had those moments when we do things just on impulse (冲动). In my early 20s, I was desperate to move into my own place. When I found a flat that seemed perfect, I took it, without considering whether the rent and bills were actually affordable in the long term. 1 I had to move in with my family, and felt embarrassed, ashamed. What if I had given the situation more thought before taking action? What if I’d done things differently? Such self-doubt and criticism are what underthinkers tend to experience.
Still, underthinking isn’t always a bad tool to have in your back pocket. 2 Try the following easy steps.
Create clear goals and priorities. Who and what are important to you, and why? Think about what you really want before acting, and ask yourself questions like: 3
Give yourself a time frame to make decisions. It could be 24 hours, or even a week for big, life-changing ones. But even for smaller things, counting to 10 before responding gives us time to process information first.
4 Or, you might want to write a pros and cons list to help make sense of your choices, and analyse the consequences before committing to a course of action. Explore mindfulness and grounding techniques. These help you reconnect with your conscious thoughts.
5 How do we manage underthinking and make it work for us? The most important thing is to recognise moments when we need to be reflective and consider our options, and when a gut reaction (本能反应) is safe to act on.
A.Journal your initial thoughts.
B.What are the costs of underthinking?
C.A year later, I was in financial trouble.
D.What will happen if I don’t act right now?
E.But it is possible to use it to our advantage.
F.Mental health conditions can contribute to a pattern of underthinking.
G.Underthinking can have a lasting impact on our lives if left unchecked.
Passage 12
Imagine it’s the dead of winter. A group of hedgehogs (刺猬) get together to share body heat, but they quickly withdraw as their quills (刺) hurt one another when they get too close. As the cold weather sinks in, the hedgehogs get together again, and withdraw again. 1 : do they tolerate the cold in isolation (孤立) or share the pain? This is the hedgehog’s dilemma, invented by German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in 1851.
Today, the hedgehog’s dilemma is widely known for its examination of complex questions about human connection and isolation. It is a metaphor for human closeness. Hedgehogs get together for warmth, while we for love and affection. 2 . Insensitive words and poor decisions are the sharp quills we use to stab one another. The closer we get to a person, the greater mutual harm.
People with an avoidant attachment style tend to guard themselves against human hedgehogs’ quills. They prefer the pain of loneliness. Contrarily, the anxious attachment style draws too close to the other hedgehogs. 3 . Different as they seem, both types of people are trapped in a dilemma that prevents them meeting their emotional needs.
4 . But it isn’t impossible to solve. Arthur Schopenhauer himself proposed that the key solution to the hedgehog’s dilemma is to find balance. Like the hedgehogs finally finding the right distance to keep warm without touching, people at two extremes of the dilemma must meet in the middle. So, if you find yourself overstepping or pulling away in your relationships, talk to your partner. 5 . It will save you both a lot of needless suffering.
A.No one wants to compromise
B.Now they’re faced with the dilemma
C.The hedgehog problem is a tricky one
D.Understanding our own behavior is tough sometimes
E.In their search for closeness, they get hurt over and over again
F.Work together to identify a compromise that works for both of you
G.The cold winter is the loneliness we experience when we withdraw from society
Passage 13
From backyard games to indoor dance sessions, play is vital for children’s physical and mental health. 1 As play time continues to decline for many children, UNESCO is reminding us all that every child needs to play. Play is not just a pastime; it’s key to children’s physical and mental well-being.
Play offers significant physical benefits. UNESCO notes that two hours of daily outdoor time boosts children’s physical activity by nearly 30% compared to staying indoors. 2 Activities like jumping, running, climbing and balancing enhance motor skills, coordination and endurance, promoting heart health, stronger muscles and bones, and reducing obesity risks. They also improve sleep quality and overall energy levels.
Specific physical activity guidelines exist for different age groups. 3 For those aged five to seventeen, one hour of moderate exercise — such as running, cycling, swimming or sports — is recommended. Regrettably, many children fail to meet these standards, with global trends showing less outdoor time than ever.
4 It allows children to explore feelings, build resilience (适应力) and develop social skills like making and maintaining friendships. Play helps children make sense of the world, feel safe and loved, and express emotions they cannot yet put into words. 5
All in all, play is essential for children’s healthy development. Even short daily sessions of play can enhance both physical strength and emotional resilience. Ensuring all children have access to safe play opportunities should be a priority to support their all-round development.
A.Physical play also improves sleep quality.
B.Play is equally crucial for emotional and mental well-being.
C.Children under five need at least three hours of physical activity daily.
D.It also boosts confidence and strengthens bonds with family and friends.
E.Yet nowadays, children often ignore play due to screens and busy schedules.
F.Play has amazing health benefits for our body, especially for people in the office.
G.Outdoor play provides space, fresh air and sunlight, which indoor activities cannot.
Passage 14
The high-speed trap is a good example of how serious sport can make physical activity less enjoyable. Pressure to get good results, racing the clock, and always trying to improve make running harder for many people, both physically and mentally. 1 Just be slower, easier, focused on enjoyment and a healthy lifestyle-like slow jogging.
2 Its creator, professor Hiroaki Tanaka, was also a long-distance runner. His own health problems inspired him to create a training method based on low-intensity sessions and focusing on running technique. The style became popular in Japan and the USA during the 1990s and 2000s.
The core of slow jogging is smile. 3 Instead of pushing for speed and intensity, we go for movement that boosts our mood. With slow jogging, you can enjoy a smile and a conversation while you run.
Slow jogging is built around three main elements, making it different from other kinds of running. 4 Slow jogging is a low-intensity activity. The pace is very relaxed, with the heart rate staying below 70% of its maximum. While slow jogging can be done at any low speed, rhythm is what matters most. The best value is 180 steps per minute, which is typical for long-distance running. In slow jogging, instead of rolling from heel to toe, we land and push off from the middle of the foot. 5
When running, keep your posture upright-shoulders relaxed, arms bent and moving naturally. And of course, don’t forget to smile-that’s exactly what it’s all about!
A.Slow jogging started in Japan.
B.This is a natural running technique.
C.Training should feel good, not painful.
D.You have to deserve to run hard and fast.
E.Its variations have made it even more popular.
F.They are running pace, rhythm and landing technique.
G.That is why trying a new way of running is a good idea.
Passage 15
When research-based learning was introduced at my school, I saw it as a frightening task. 1 My teacher, Mr Lee, changed my view. He said, “True learning starts with a question from your own life.” His words encouraged me to look around with curiosity.
I began to notice small things. Why did I prefer studying in the library corner near the window? What made group study sometimes effective and sometimes noisy? After thinking carefully, I settled on a simple question: Does background music help or hold back homework efficiency? This was my first lesson: Choose a question I truly want to answer. 2
Next, I needed a plan. I felt overwhelmed until I broke it down. I decided to experiment on myself for two weeks: one week with soft instrumental music, and one week in complete silence. 3 I also designed a short survey for my classmates. Making a clear, simple plan turns anxiety into action.
The real challenge came during the execution (执行). My self-observation was easy, but analyzing the results was confusing. After analysis, I found that the survey responses were mixed, and the results weren’t what I had expected. 4 Then, I remembered that research is about understanding, not just proving a point. So, I looked for patterns instead of a single answer. I prepared to learn from unexpected data, not just to confirm my guess.
5 I made two simple graphs about my focus and classmates’ music preferences. I saw music helped me with repetitive tasks but not with reading, and that preferences varied widely — showing no universal answer, only personal patterns. Presenting these findings taught me research is less about definitive truths and more about methodical exploration. It improved my ability to observe, plan, adapt, and communicate. Ultimately, the process itself is the real lesson. You can start your own research today by picking a small, curious question from daily life and following it step by step.
A.Finally, I turned to Mr Lee.
B.I almost thought my project was a failure.
C.My personal interest is the best motivation.
D.I tracked my focus time and task completion.
E.Later, Mr Lee suggested I picture my confusing data.
F.I had to give up the project I was doing at that moment.
G.The word “research” itself sounded too serious and distant.

Passage 1
It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. 1 And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)?
Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 45-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. 2
However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. 3 Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying, they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. 4 Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much.
5 The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding.
A.So, is short-form video helping or hurting?
B.This makes learning fit easily into daily life.
C.Many creators make money by posting educational short clips.
D.To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.
E.Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time.
F.Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.
G.This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.F 4.G 5.A
【导语】本文辩证分析短视频用于学习的利弊:短视频适配碎片化学习、降低知识获取门槛,但易造成信息过载、消磨专注力、娱乐学习边界模糊,最后提出短视频仅可作为传统学习补充,不可完全依赖。
1.上文“Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. (如今,许多学生承认他们的第一反应是打开短视频应用)”提到学生遇到问题时首先选择短视频应用,D选项“To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.(对他们来说,这类视频不仅仅是娱乐,更像是学习)”中的“them”指代上文的“students”,解释了学生选择短视频的原因,即他们认为短视频具有学习功能,承接上文,符合题意。
2.上文“Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities.(短视频还能把空闲时间,比如等公交车的时间,变成学习机会)”说明短视频能将碎片时间转化为学习机会,B选项“This makes learning fit easily into daily life.(这使得学习能轻松融入日常生活)”中的“This”指代上文内容,进一步总结短视频让学习更便利地融入生活,与上文构成因果关系。
3.上文“Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. (持续接触快速内容会训练大脑期待刺激,使得复杂的阅读或完整的讲座更难让人坐得住)”指出短视频带来的注意力问题,下文“Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. (学生最终可能会不堪重负,只记得许多话题的碎片,却没有掌握任何一个)”说明信息过载的结果,F选项“Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.(此外,太多的短视频,尽管简短,却可能导致信息过载)”承上启下,其中“information overload”与下文“overwhelmed”相呼应,且“Besides”补充了另一个缺点。
4.上文“That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. (这意味着那些为了寻找“快速讲解”而打开应用的学生,最终往往会深陷一个小时的不相关内容中)”说明短视频平台容易让学生从学习滑向娱乐,G选项“This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.(娱乐和教育之间这条不清晰的界限使得时间管理变得更加困难)”中的“This unclear line”指代上文学习滑向娱乐的现象,解释了时间管理困难的原因,与下文“Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. (学生们描述在刷学习内容时感觉“很忙”,但后来意识到没记住多少)”中学生时间管理失败相呼应。
5.下文“The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. (现实是,两者都有。短视频内容是一种工具,而不是替代品)”中的“both”表明短视频既有帮助也有危害,A选项“So, is short-form video helping or hurting?(那么,短视频是有帮助还是有害呢?)”以问句形式引出下文的解答,且“helping or hurting”与下文的“both”形成完美呼应。
Passage 2
Many people believe that happiness is something we either have or don’t have — a fixed state that depends on circumstances beyond our control. However, positive psychology research increasingly suggests that happiness is less about what happens to us and more about what we actively do. 1
One of the most well-documented strategies is practicing gratitude. Studies have shown that people who regularly write down things they’re grateful for report higher levels of life satisfaction. 2 This simple act shifts attention from what ‘s lacking to what ‘s present, creating a more positive outlook.
Another powerful approach is cultivating meaningful connections. While career achievements and material possessions can provide temporary satisfaction, research consistently finds that the quality of our relationships is the strongest predictor of long-term happiness. 3 It’s the depth of connection and genuine exchange that makes the difference.
Engaging in activities that produce “flow” — a state of complete absorption in what you’re doing — also contributes significantly to well-being. 4 These experiences, whether in work, hobbies, or sports, provide a sense of purpose and mastery that surface-level entertainment cannot match.
5 Rather than seeing happiness as a distant goal to be achieved after completing certain milestones, research suggests it is better understood as a practice to be cultivated through intentional daily choices. Small, consistent actions — reaching out to a friend, taking a walk in nature, or pausing to appreciate a beautiful moment — accumulate to create lasting well-being.
Happiness, it turns out, is not a destination but a journey, not a gift but a skill. And like any skill, it improves with practice.
A.This isn’t about the number of social connections.
B.Therefore, pursuing happiness should be your top priority.
C.These are activities that challenge us just enough to keep us fully engaged.
D.The key, researchers argue, lies in developing certain habits and mindsets.
E.Perhaps the most fundamental insight is that happiness is a practice, not an outcome.
F.Furthermore, achieving success guarantees happiness.
G.Even a simple daily journal can produce measurable improvements in mood.
【答案】1.D 2.G 3.A 4.C 5.E
【导语】本文反驳幸福由外界决定的固有认知,介绍感恩、经营人际、获得心流等主动提升幸福感的方法,指出幸福是可日常修习的技能。
1.根据上文“Many people believe that happiness is something we either have or don’t have — a fixed state that depends on circumstances beyond our control. However, positive psychology research increasingly suggests that happiness is less about what happens to us and more about what we actively do.(许多人认为,幸福是一种我们要么拥有、要么不拥有的东西——一种取决于超出我们控制的境况的固定状态。然而,积极心理学的研究越来越表明,幸福与其说与发生在我们身上的事情有关,不如说与我们主动做的事情有关)”可知,前文提出积极心理学研究表明幸福更多取决于我们主动的行动,后文开始介绍具体的提升幸福的策略,D项“研究者认为,关键在于养成特定的习惯和思维模式”承上启下,衔接自然。
2.根据上文“One of the most well-documented strategies is practicing gratitude. Studies have shown that people who regularly write down things they’re grateful for report higher levels of life satisfaction.(经充分验证的有效策略之一是练习感恩。研究表明,经常写下自己所感激之事的人,报告的生活满意度更高)”以及后文“This simple act shifts attention from what ‘s lacking to what ‘s present, creating a more positive outlook.(这一简单的举动将注意力从“缺少什么”转移到“拥有什么”,从而营造出更积极的心态)”可知,前文提到定期记录感恩事项的人生活满意度更高,后文说明这个行为能转变注意力视角,G项“哪怕是简单的日常日记也能让情绪得到可感知的改善”呼应前文写感恩记录的内容,逻辑连贯。
3.根据上文“Another powerful approach is cultivating meaningful connections. While career achievements and material possessions can provide temporary satisfaction, research consistently finds that the quality of our relationships is the strongest predictor of long-term happiness.(另一种有效的方法是建立有意义的人际关系。虽然事业成就和物质财富能带来暂时的满足,但研究表明,人际关系的质量才是预测长期幸福的最重要因素)”以及后文“It’s the depth of connection and genuine exchange that makes the difference.(正是这种深入的联系和真诚的交流,才真正起到了关键作用)”可知,前文指出人际关系质量是长期幸福的最强预测因素,后文强调是联结的深度和真诚交流起作用,A项“这和社交联结的数量无关”和后文的“深度”形成对应,衔接顺畅。
4.根据上文“Engaging in activities that produce “flow” — a state of complete absorption in what you’re doing —also contributes significantly to well-being.(从事能产生“心流”状态的活动——即完全沉浸于当前所做的事情之中——也对幸福感有显著的促进作用)”以及后文“These experiences, whether in work, hobbies, or sports, provide a sense of purpose and mastery that surface-level entertainment cannot match.(这些经历,无论是工作、爱好还是运动,都能带来一种目标感和掌控感,而这种感觉是浅层娱乐所无法比拟的)”可知,前文介绍了“心流”是完全沉浸在当下活动的状态,后文说明这类体验能带来表层娱乐无法提供的价值,C项“这类活动的挑战难度适中,足以让我们完全投入”解释了心流活动的特点,呼应上下文。
5.根据后文“Rather than seeing happiness as a distant goal to be achieved after completing certain milestones, research suggests it is better understood as a practice to be cultivated through intentional daily choices. Small, consistent actions — reaching out to a friend, taking a walk in nature, or pausing to appreciate a beautiful moment — accumulate to create lasting well-being.(研究表明,幸福不应被视为完成某些里程碑后才能实现的遥远目标,而应被理解为一种通过有意识的日常选择来培养的实践。一些微小而持续的行为——比如主动联系朋友、在大自然中散步,或停下来欣赏一个美好的瞬间——积累起来,能够带来持久的幸福感)”可知,后文提到不要把幸福看作达成里程碑后才能获得的遥远目标,而是要通过日常刻意选择培养的实践,E项“或许最根本的观点是,幸福是一种实践,而非一个结果”引出本段核心内容,契合语境。
Passage 3
Ah, punctuality — the art of being precisely on time. It’s a concept so deeply rooted in some cultures that even being a minute late can cause a small-scale panic attack. 1 Let’s examine whether punctuality is the defining feature of a superior society or merely another subjective construct.
Each part of the world has a unique relationship with time, enriching the fabric of global culture. In Japan, for example, you’re always expected to arrive on time, and preferably a few minutes early. 2 Tough luck, but the next one will be there precisely on the dot. In contrast, the Philippines has a more relaxed approach to time. If someone says 3 o’clock, arriving around 3:30 is common and expected. This isn’t laziness, but a cultural preference for living in the moment.
But does being punctual make a culture more advanced? The Swiss are celebrated for their precision and punctuality, often cited as a perfect example of efficiency. Their trains run on time, their watches are the gold standard. 3 And Switzerland is often ranked as one of the most developed and happiest countries in the world, but let’s wait a bit to conclude.
Consider the case of Brazil, where “Brazilian time” is a well-known concept. 4 If you attend a party at the specified time, you’ll likely find the host still in their bathrobe. Many Brazilians have a laid-back approach to life. They don’t sweat the small stuff like running five minutes late because they’re busy enjoying life. Many live by the motto, “Tudo bem,” which means “It’s all good.” Honestly, they seem to be onto something.
So, is punctuality essential? It depends on what cultures you are in. Whether you’re a stickler for punctuality or more laid-back, what truly matters is how you spend your time. 5 Let’s try to find that middle ground where we can respect others’ time while embracing the joy of living in the moment. Ultimately, time is just a construct, and life is too short to stress about being late.
A.There, being late is not only accepted but expected.
B.You could set your clock by their daily routines.
C.Are you enjoying the journey or constantly watching the clock?
D.But is punctuality essential?
E.Punctuality is timeless art.
F.Miss a train by a minute?
G.In this context, punctuality is flexible.
【答案】1.D 2.F 3.B 4.A 5.C
【导语】文章探讨不同文化对待时间与守时的差异,举例多国不同时间观念,指出守时不等于文化先进,主张兼顾尊重他人时间与享受当下,不必为迟到过度焦虑。
1.根据后文“Let’s examine whether punctuality is the defining feature of a superior society or merely another subjective construct.(让我们来探讨一下,守时究竟是优越社会的标志性特征,抑或仅仅是又一种主观建构)”可知,空后提出要探讨守时是优越社会的标志性特征还是主观建构,D项“但守时是必不可少的吗?”引出相关讨论,契合语境。
2.根据后文“Tough luck, but the next one will be there precisely on the dot. In contrast, the Philippines has a more relaxed approach to time. If someone says 3 o’clock, arriving around 3:30 is common and expected. This isn’t laziness, but a cultural preference for living in the moment.(运气不好,但下一班火车会准点到达。相比之下,菲律宾人对时间的态度更为随意。如果有人说三点,大约三点三十分到达是常见且被接受的。这并非懒惰,而是文化上对活在当下的偏好)”可知,空后提到下一班车会准点到达,F项“错过火车一分钟?”和后文的火车相关表述衔接自然。
3.根据上文“But does being punctual make a culture more advanced? The Swiss are celebrated for their precision and punctuality, often cited as a perfect example of efficiency. Their trains run on time, their watches are the gold standard.(但守时是否意味着一种文化更加先进?瑞士人以精确和准时著称,常被视为效率的完美典范。他们的火车准时运行,手表则是黄金标准)”可知,前文强调瑞士人以精准和守时著称,B项“你可以根据他们的日常作息来对表”进一步具象化体现瑞士人的守时特点,衔接顺畅。
4.根据上文“Consider the case of Brazil, where “Brazilian time” is a well-known concept.(以巴西为例,那里有“巴西时间”这一广为人知的概念)”以及后文“If you attend a party at the specified time, you’ll likely find the host still in their bathrobe. Many Brazilians have a laid-back approach to life. They don’t sweat the small stuff like running five minutes late because they’re busy enjoying life. Many live by the motto, “Tudo bem,” which means “It’s all good.” Honestly, they seem to be onto something.(如果你在指定时间参加派对,很可能发现主人还穿着浴袍。许多巴西人对生活态度轻松随意,他们从不为小事烦恼,比如迟到五分钟,因为他们正忙着享受生活。许多人信奉“Tudo bem”(一切都好)的格言。说实话,他们似乎真的抓住了什么真谛)”可知,前文引出巴西的“巴西时间”概念,后文说明按时去参加派对主人可能还没准备好,A项“在那里,迟到不仅被接受,还在预料之中”精准概括巴西的时间文化。
5.根据上文“So, is punctuality essential? It depends on what cultures you are in. Whether you’re a stickler for punctuality or more laid-back, what truly matters is how you spend your time.(那么,守时真的重要吗?这取决于你所处的文化。无论你是严格遵守时间还是较为随性,真正重要的是你如何度过自己的时间)”以及后文“Let’s try to find that middle ground where we can respect others’ time while embracing the joy of living in the moment. Ultimately, time is just a construct, and life is too short to stress about being late.(让我们试着找到一个平衡点,在尊重他人时间的同时,也拥抱当下生活的喜悦。归根结底,时间只是个概念,生命太短暂,不必为迟到而焦虑)”可知,前文提到真正重要的是如何度过时间,C项“你是在享受旅程还是一直在看时钟?”承接该观点,引出后文兼顾尊重他人时间和享受当下的呼吁。
Passage 4
If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things.
Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. 1 And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at. 2 The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies.
3 Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions.
The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. 4 They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and don’t know.
So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. 5 The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog.
A.In other words, there are clear advantages for each.
B.They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes.
C.Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence.
D.But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing.
E.However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs.
F.When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional.
G.They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position.
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.D 4.F 5.A
【导语】文章主要对比刺猬型与狐狸型思维,提出最优模式是融合二者的“狐狸型刺猬”。
1.由第一段“If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things.(如果你想拥有最高可信度,做刺猬型的人更好,还是狐狸型的人更好?以赛亚・伯林认为:刺猬精通一件大事,而狐狸通晓许多琐事。)”和上文“Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes.(刺猬型思想家倾向于给出肯定的回答。)”及下文“And they are usually very credible in doing so.(而且他们这样做时通常极具可信度。)”可知,上文指出刺猬型思想家态度坚决,下文说明其由此产生的可信度,本空应具体描述他们坚定支持某一立场的行为特点。G选项“They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position.(他们明确站在某一方,并全力支持自己的立场。)”能承接上文的“answer yes”,并与下文的“credible”形成因果逻辑,符合语境。
2.由上文“They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at.(他们专注于一件事并将其做到极致。他们清楚自己的优势所在。)”可知,上文阐述了刺猬型思想家专注的特点,本空应总结这种专注带来的优势。C选项“Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence.(因此,他们拥有思路清晰和信心十足的优势。)”能承接上文,归纳出专注带来的结果,符合语境。
3.由上文“The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies.(刺猬理念对于企业而言十分适用。)”和下文“Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions.(菲利普・泰特研究了周日脱口秀节目中那些预测事态走向的嘉宾过往言论记录。他发现,刺猬型思考者出错概率高于狐狸型思考者;并且当现实和预判不符时,他们更难意识到或是承认自己出错。)”可知,上文阐述了刺猬理念的优势,下文指出了刺猬型思维的弊端,本空应起到转折作用,引出对单一专注模式的负面评价。D选项“But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing.(但是,过分专注于一件大事也可能存在弊端。)”能承接上文对刺猬型优势的论述,同时引出下文的缺陷分析,符合语境。
4.由上文“The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information.(狐狸型思维者的优势在于,他们更愿意从更广泛的渠道寻求新信息,并能坦然面对不确定性和新信息。)”及下文“They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking.(他们试图将其纳入自己的观点,而不是将其排除在思维之外。)”可知,上文指出狐狸型思维者包容不确定性,下文说明他们会吸收新信息,本空应描述他们如何处理矛盾信息。F选项“When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional.(当某些信息与他们的观点相矛盾时,他们不会将其视为例外。)”能承接上文对新信息的态度,并与下文“include it”形成呼应,符合语境。
5.由上文“The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style.(这个问题可以用一种‘狐狸型刺猬’风格来回答。)”及下文“The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off.(在成为刺猬还是狐狸之间做选择是一种错误的二元对立。)”可知,上文提出结合两种风格的思路,下文否定了非此即彼的选择,本空应总结两种风格各有优势。A选项“In other words, there are clear advantages for each.(换句话说,这两种风格各有明显的优势。)”能承上启下,既回应了上文的结合思路,又为下文否定二元对立做铺垫,符合语境。
Passage 5
This year, I received an exciting message from the Science Center: out of nearly 2,000 applicants, only 40 high school students were selected to take part in their famous summer program, and I was one of them! 1
For the two-week summer program, I chose to focus on a biology project. My research centered on investigating the presence and impact of bacteria (细菌) in different water sources — specifically comparing wild lake water with home pool water to determine which was more harmful. 2 Those are two fields I’m deeply passionate about.
The laboratory work was challenging but extremely rewarding. I remember the first day I set out to collect water samples. The lake was peaceful, but beneath that calm surface hid something far less harmless. In contrast, the pool’s crystal-clear water seemed almost too clean, and I wondered how the tests would turn out.
3 . The process involved culturing the bacteria, monitoring their growth and comparing the results from both sources. When the data finally came in, it was both shocking and enlightening. The pool water was surprisingly clean, with hardly any bacteria present. On the other hand, the lake water, despite its beautiful appearance, was full of bacteria — definitely not safe for drinking. 4
Once my experiments were complete, I poured all my energy into writing a detailed report. On the last day of the program, I had the opportunity to present my work to a group of 15 mentors (导师). 5 — I was not just a student; I was like a scientist sharing my discoveries with the world.
A.Back in the lab, I analyzed the samples.
B.Standing before them, explaining my project, I felt proud.
C.I hope to undertake a biomedical project at the Science Center.
D.My time at the Science Center has given me a clear sense of purpose.
E.These results highlighted the hidden dangers that untreated water can pose.
F.The moment I opened that letter, I knew this was going to be a life-changing experience.
G.This topic interested me because it combined both environmental science and public health.
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.A 4.E 5.B

3.上一段结尾讲述作者外出采集湖水与泳池水样本。后文“The process involved culturing the bacteria, monitoring their growth and comparing the results from both sources.(实验过程包括培育细菌、监测其生长情况,并对比两种水源的检测结果。)”介绍实验室分析样本的操作流程。选项A“Back in the lab, I analyzed the samples.(回到实验室后,我对水样样本进行了分析。)”承接采水样的情节,过渡到实验室检测环节,起到段落衔接作用。
4.上文“The pool water was surprisingly clean, with hardly any bacteria present. On the other hand, the lake water, despite its beautiful appearance, was full of bacteria — definitely not safe for drinking.(泳池水出乎意料地洁净,几乎不含任何细菌;而湖水看似清澈美观,实则遍布细菌,绝对不宜饮用。)”展示两组水样的对比实验结果。选项E“These results highlighted the hidden dangers that untreated water can pose.(这些实验结果凸显了未经处理的水源所潜藏的安全隐患。)”句中These results指代前文两组水质数据,对实验结论进行总结升华。
5.上文“On the last day of the program, I had the opportunity to present my work to a group of 15 mentors.(项目最后一天,我有机会向15位导师展示我的研究成果。)”说明在项目最后一天作者向15位导师展示成果。后文破折号后“I was not just a student; I was like a scientist sharing my discoveries with the world.(我不再只是一名学生,而是像一名科学家一样,向众人分享自己的研究发现。)”描写汇报时的内心感受。选项B“Standing before them, explaining my project, I felt proud.(站在各位导师面前讲解自己的课题,我满心自豪。)”中them指代前文15 mentors,贴合汇报场景,同时引出后文内心的感悟。
Passage 6
In life, just like in chess, every move matters. A single decision can trigger (引发) a chain reaction, leading you closer to success or trapping you in setbacks. Grand masters spend years mastering the complexities of chess. 1 Adopting a grand master’s approaches can transform the way you address daily challenges.
•Think ahead: Always plan your next move
Chess grand masters never make a move without considering the consequences. 2 Meanwhile, they plan several moves ahead. In life, short-term thinking often leads to regret, while long-term thinking contributes to success. Strategic thinkers don’t just react to situations. They anticipate and prepare.
•Control the center: Concentrate on what matters most
In chess, controlling the center of the board gives you more influence and flexibility. In life, focusing on the most important areas gives you control over your future. Specifically, pay attention to high-impact tasks rather than being busy with meaningless activities. 3
•Learn from every move: Reflect on success or failure
Every chess game, win or lose, teaches a lesson. 4 In life, too many people are buried in thinking of failure instead of learning and adapting. Each experience is a lesson in making better future decisions. Therefore, seeing every setback as feedback, not failure is top priority. Winners don’t just move on. They move forward with greater wisdom.
Thinking like a chess grand master isn’t about being overly cautious — it’s about being smart, strategic and intentional in your choices. 5 So the next time you face a tough decision, wait and ask yourself like a chess grand master: What’s my next move?
A.They predict how their opponents will react.
B.Playing chess never goes exactly as planned.
C.Every decision, big or small, shapes your future.
D.Grand masters analyze their mistakes to improve.
E.Winning in life depends on where you place your focus.
F.Chess players often sacrifice a piece to gain a winning position.
G.The core principles they use can be applied to everyday decisions.

Passage 7
I once thought life was at its best in your 30s or 40s — when your career was going well, your kids still needed you, and you had plenty of energy. By the time I hit my late 60s, I figured the best of it was behind me. 1
I used to think that the best years of life were for making big changes, going on adventures, and choosing bravely. I never realized how much I believed that idea — until a sudden moment made me doubt it completely.
It started with a yoga class. A friend had been asking me to join her for months, but I always had an excuse — too busy, too stiff (僵硬的), too old. 2 I walked into that studio feeling completely out of place, surrounded by people half my age who bent flexibly while I struggled just to touch my toes (脚趾).
3 It wasn’t just about the yoga; it was about proving to myself that I could still try something new, even if it made me uncomfortable. That one small “yes” opened the door to more. I signed up for a watercolor painting class, even though I’d never held a brush before. 4 Each “yes” led to another, and before long, my days were filled with things that excited and challenged me.
The funny thing? 5 I stopped worrying about whether I’d be good at something or if people would think I was out of place. Instead, I started focusing on how much fun it was just to try.
A.But something shifted that day.
B.The more I said yes, the less afraid I became.
C.Finally, just to stop her from pushing me, I said yes.
D.I realized that trying new things was only for the young.
E.My days were fine, but they felt routine and predictable.
F.At last, I could enjoy the peace of a quiet retirement life.
G.What’s more, I also joined a hiking group, though I hadn’t hiked for years.
【答案】1.E 2.C 3.A 4.G 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者晚年原本认为人生最好的时光已过,后因尝试瑜伽等新事物,重新发现人生乐趣的经历。
1.根据上文“I once thought life was at its best in your 30s or 40s — when your career was going well, your kids still needed you, and you had plenty of energy. By the time I hit my late 60s, I figured the best of it was behind me.(我曾经认为人生在30多岁或40多岁时最好——那时你的事业顺利,你的孩子还需要你,而且你精力充沛。到我60多岁晚期时,我认为人生最好的时光已经过去了)”可知,作者认为晚年最好的时光已过,此处应承接这种心态,描述晚年的生活状态,E选项“My days were fine, but they felt routine and predictable.(我的日子过得不错,但它们感觉平淡且可预测)”既符合作者认为美好时光已过的心境,又为下文尝试新事物做铺垫,符合语境。故选E项。
2.根据上文“A friend had been asking me to join her for months, but I always had an excuse — too busy, too stiff (僵硬的), too old.(一个朋友几个月来一直邀请我和她一起去(上瑜伽课),但我总是找借口——太忙、太僵硬、太老了)”以及下文“I walked into that studio feeling completely out of place, surrounded by people half my age who bent flexibly while I struggled just to touch my toes (脚趾).(我走进那个瑜伽馆,感觉完全格格不入,周围都是我一半年龄的人,他们身体灵活地弯曲着,而我却连碰脚趾都很困难)”可知,作者最终答应了朋友的邀请,C选项“Finally, just to stop her from pushing me, I said yes.(最后,为了不让她再催促我,我答应了)”衔接上文的拒绝和下文的去上瑜伽课,符合语境。故选C项。
3.根据下文“It wasn’t just about the yoga; it was about proving to myself that I could still try something new, even if it made me uncomfortable. That one small “yes” opened the door to more.(这不仅仅是关于瑜伽;这是关于向自己证明,我仍然可以尝试新事物,即使这会让我不舒服。那个小小的“答应”为我打开了更多的大门)”可知,上瑜伽课这件事让作者的心态发生了改变,A选项“But something shifted that day.(但那天有些事情改变了)”中的shifted呼应下文心态的转变,引出下文对改变的具体阐述,符合语境。故选A项。
4.根据上文“That one small “yes” opened the door to more. I signed up for a watercolor painting class, even though I’d never held a brush before.(那个小小的“答应”为我打开了更多的大门。我报名参加了水彩画课,尽管我以前从未拿过画笔。)”以及下文“Each “yes” led to another, and before long, my days were filled with things that excited and challenged me.(每一个“答应”都带来了另一个,不久之后,我的日子里充满了让我兴奋和挑战的事情)”可知,此处应继续列举作者答应尝试的新事物,G选项“What’s more, I also joined a hiking group, though I hadn’t hiked for years.(此外,我还加入了一个徒步旅行小组,尽管我已经很多年没有徒步旅行了)”中的also joined与上文signed up for相呼应,继续体现作者尝试新事物的过程,符合语境。故选G项。
5.根据下文“I stopped worrying about whether I’d be good at something or if people would think I was out of place. Instead, I started focusing on how much fun it was just to try.(我不再担心自己是否会擅长某件事,或者人们是否会认为我格格不入。相反,我开始专注于尝试本身带来的乐趣)”可知,作者尝试的新事物越多,心态越放松,B选项“The more I said yes, the less afraid I became.(我说“好”越多,就变得越不害怕)”衔接下文心态的变化,体现“答应尝试”与“不再害怕”之间的关联,符合语境。故选B项。
Passage 8
Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. 1
The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”. 2 For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles.
3 That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go.
Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be self-assured. Express your needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset. Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment. Additionally, withdraw from external influences. 4 Lastly, manage relationships. Recognize your personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t poke your nose into other people’s subjects and don’t let others get involved in yours either.
I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. 5 Once you become a bit “sluggish” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.
A.Insensitivity springs from self-awareness.
B.Insensitivity fuels deep focus on personal goals.
C.That is where the need to be insensitive comes from.
D.This shows the importance of keeping sensitive under control.
E.It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward.
F.It is this gentle “sluggishness” that frees us from the noise and brings us back to peace.
G.Avoid too much concern over others’ opinions and assumptions about others’ thoughts.
【答案】1.C 2.E 3.A 4.G 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍迟钝的力量,解释其来源与作用,并给出培养钝感力的具体方法。
1.根据前文“If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. (如果你是一个高度敏感的人,你更有可能误读他人的信号,感知社交威胁,并且难以适应新环境。)”可知,前文讲述过于敏感带来的问题,此空应引出需要变得迟钝的原因,C选项“That is where the need to be insensitive comes from. (这就是需要变得迟钝的原因所在。)”承接前文内容,符合语境。故选C项。
2.根据前文“The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”. (迟钝的力量可以被理解为“钝感力”。)”可知,前文对钝感力下定义,此空应进一步解释其含义,E选项“It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward. (它指的是冷静面对挫折并坚定前行的能力。)”对钝感力进行具体阐释,符合语境。故选E项。
3.根据后文“That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go. (这就是钝感力能让人在竞争环境中更好生存和适应的重要原因之一。了解自己很难,但正确认识自己无疑是一项优秀的能力——这是许多成功人士共有的特质,他们都清楚自己的优势所在、能做什么、想要什么以及走向何方。)”可知,本段围绕自我认知与钝感力展开,A选项“Insensitivity springs from self-awareness. (钝感力源于自我认知。)”能概括本段主题,符合语境。故选A项。
4.根据前文“Additionally, withdraw from external influences. (此外,远离外界影响。)”可知,前文建议摆脱外界干扰,此空应具体说明如何做,G选项“Avoid too much concern over others’ opinions and assumptions about others’ thoughts. (避免过度在意他人的看法和对他人想法的猜测。)”承接前文,给出具体做法,符合语境。故选G项。
5.根据前文“I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. (我希望每个人都能拥有钝感力。)”以及后文“Once you become a bit “sluggish” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable. (一旦你变得有点“迟钝”,放慢脚步,你会感觉更舒服。)”可知,此空应说明钝感力带来的好处,F选项“It is this gentle “sluggishness” that frees us from the noise and brings us back to peace. (正是这种温和的“迟钝”让我们从纷扰中解脱,重归平静。)”衔接前后文,符合语境。故选F项。
Passage 9
Fast-paced lifestyles have led to countless myths about healthy eating, many of which are widely accepted but lack scientific evidence. 1 Understanding the truth behind these myths is key to building a sustainable, healthy diet.
One of the most persistent myths is that skipping meals helps with weight loss. 2 A 2022 study tracked over 24,000 participants and found that eating only one meal a day increased all-cause death rate by 30% and cardiovascular disease death rate by 83%, while two meals a day also raised health risks. Skipping meals disrupts blood sugar levels, slows metabolism, and often leads to overeating later, making weight loss harder in the long run.
3 Many people believe that all fats are harmful and should be wiped away from the diet. In fact, healthy fats — such as those from avocados, nuts, and fatty fish — are essential for hormone production, brain function, and nutrient absorption. The key is to choose unsaturated fats over trans fats and excessive saturated fats, not to cut out all fats entirely.
Another common myth is that “natural” or “organic” foods are always healthier than conventional options. While organic produce may reduce exposure to certain pesticides, 4 Nutritionally, there is no significant difference between organic and conventional fruits, vegetables, or grains. The most important factor is eating a variety of whole foods, regardless of their farming method.
Finally, the myth that late-night eating automatically leads to weight gain is also misleading. 5 What matters far more is your total daily calorie intake and the quality of the food you eat, rather than the exact time you consume it. Irregular eating patterns, however, do harm to gut health and immune function, so maintaining regular meal times is still recommended.
By clarifying these myths, we can make informed choices that support long-term health, rather than following unproven trends.
A.It’s time to separate fact from fiction and challenge these long-held beliefs.
B.Weight gain occurs when you consume more calories than your body burns, regardless of when you eat.
C.Many people struggle to stick to three regular meals a day due to busy work schedules.
D.The next myth centers on the role of fat in a healthy diet.
E.This is completely untrue, as skipping meals poses severe risks to both longevity and metabolic health.
F.it does not guarantee better nutrition or lower calorie content.
G.Regular meals help maintain the rhythmic activation of the gut immune system.

Passage 10
You may compare yourself to your peers to find your place in different parts of life. 1 You might assess your economic status in relation to others by observing their houses or vehicles. If you are in an academic or medical field, you might check others’ publications and qualifications to measure how your professional achievements compare to theirs. If you find yourself feeling worse after comparing yourself to others, don’t despair. Here are some tips to help you avoid the trap of social comparisons.
2 Success isn’t a situation where one person gains only when others lose. Everyone is climbing a different mountain. Someone achieving their goals does not mean you cannot achieve your goals. Your success may look different from what you have originally expected. Be flexible and embrace the uncertainty of your journey.
Set boundaries with social media. Social media is a platform that expands social comparisons. 3 As a personal example, I find it harder to set boundaries with social media when my cellphone is on me, even if it is noiseless. As a result, when I return home from work, I leave it in the mudroom. This action creates a physical boundary between me and my cellphone, which helps me be more present with loved ones.
Give yourself grace. Letting go of old habits is hard, especially when they are widely popular in society. 4 Give yourself grace when this happens. Continue to shift your focus toward what matters most: being present with yourself and your loved ones.
Be curious. Adopting a curious mindset can spare you from feelings of envy and inadequacy when comparing yourself to others. When someone achieves a goal you desire, study their success. 5
A.Focus on personal growth.
B.Make sure to set limits with it.
C.This is totally understandable.
D.Success is like a high mountain.
E.You may fall for the trap of social comparisons.
F.Don’t ignore your loved ones on the way to your goal.
G.It leaves behind clues to help you achieve your own personal goals.

Passage 11
Are You an Underthinker?
We’ve all had those moments when we do things just on impulse (冲动). In my early 20s, I was desperate to move into my own place. When I found a flat that seemed perfect, I took it, without considering whether the rent and bills were actually affordable in the long term. 1 I had to move in with my family, and felt embarrassed, ashamed. What if I had given the situation more thought before taking action? What if I’d done things differently? Such self-doubt and criticism are what underthinkers tend to experience.
Still, underthinking isn’t always a bad tool to have in your back pocket. 2 Try the following easy steps.
Create clear goals and priorities. Who and what are important to you, and why? Think about what you really want before acting, and ask yourself questions like: 3
Give yourself a time frame to make decisions. It could be 24 hours, or even a week for big, life-changing ones. But even for smaller things, counting to 10 before responding gives us time to process information first.
4 Or, you might want to write a pros and cons list to help make sense of your choices, and analyse the consequences before committing to a course of action. Explore mindfulness and grounding techniques. These help you reconnect with your conscious thoughts.
5 How do we manage underthinking and make it work for us? The most important thing is to recognise moments when we need to be reflective and consider our options, and when a gut reaction (本能反应) is safe to act on.
A.Journal your initial thoughts.
B.What are the costs of underthinking?
C.A year later, I was in financial trouble.
D.What will happen if I don’t act right now?
E.But it is possible to use it to our advantage.
F.Mental health conditions can contribute to a pattern of underthinking.
G.Underthinking can have a lasting impact on our lives if left unchecked.
【答案】1.C 2.E 3.D 4.A 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“思考不足”(underthinking)的现象、后果,并介绍了管理思考不足的具体方法,旨在帮助读者将其转化为积极力量。

Passage 12
Imagine it’s the dead of winter. A group of hedgehogs (刺猬) get together to share body heat, but they quickly withdraw as their quills (刺) hurt one another when they get too close. As the cold weather sinks in, the hedgehogs get together again, and withdraw again. 1 : do they tolerate the cold in isolation (孤立) or share the pain? This is the hedgehog’s dilemma, invented by German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in 1851.
Today, the hedgehog’s dilemma is widely known for its examination of complex questions about human connection and isolation. It is a metaphor for human closeness. Hedgehogs get together for warmth, while we for love and affection. 2 . Insensitive words and poor decisions are the sharp quills we use to stab one another. The closer we get to a person, the greater mutual harm.
People with an avoidant attachment style tend to guard themselves against human hedgehogs’ quills. They prefer the pain of loneliness. Contrarily, the anxious attachment style draws too close to the other hedgehogs. 3 . Different as they seem, both types of people are trapped in a dilemma that prevents them meeting their emotional needs.
4 . But it isn’t impossible to solve. Arthur Schopenhauer himself proposed that the key solution to the hedgehog’s dilemma is to find balance. Like the hedgehogs finally finding the right distance to keep warm without touching, people at two extremes of the dilemma must meet in the middle. So, if you find yourself overstepping or pulling away in your relationships, talk to your partner. 5 . It will save you both a lot of needless suffering.
A.No one wants to compromise
B.Now they’re faced with the dilemma
C.The hedgehog problem is a tricky one
D.Understanding our own behavior is tough sometimes
E.In their search for closeness, they get hurt over and over again
F.Work together to identify a compromise that works for both of you
G.The cold winter is the loneliness we experience when we withdraw from society
【答案】1.B 2.G 3.E 4.C 5.F

Passage 13
From backyard games to indoor dance sessions, play is vital for children’s physical and mental health. 1 As play time continues to decline for many children, UNESCO is reminding us all that every child needs to play. Play is not just a pastime; it’s key to children’s physical and mental well-being.
Play offers significant physical benefits. UNESCO notes that two hours of daily outdoor time boosts children’s physical activity by nearly 30% compared to staying indoors. 2 Activities like jumping, running, climbing and balancing enhance motor skills, coordination and endurance, promoting heart health, stronger muscles and bones, and reducing obesity risks. They also improve sleep quality and overall energy levels.
Specific physical activity guidelines exist for different age groups. 3 For those aged five to seventeen, one hour of moderate exercise — such as running, cycling, swimming or sports — is recommended. Regrettably, many children fail to meet these standards, with global trends showing less outdoor time than ever.
4 It allows children to explore feelings, build resilience (适应力) and develop social skills like making and maintaining friendships. Play helps children make sense of the world, feel safe and loved, and express emotions they cannot yet put into words. 5
All in all, play is essential for children’s healthy development. Even short daily sessions of play can enhance both physical strength and emotional resilience. Ensuring all children have access to safe play opportunities should be a priority to support their all-round development.
A.Physical play also improves sleep quality.
B.Play is equally crucial for emotional and mental well-being.
C.Children under five need at least three hours of physical activity daily.
D.It also boosts confidence and strengthens bonds with family and friends.
E.Yet nowadays, children often ignore play due to screens and busy schedules.
F.Play has amazing health benefits for our body, especially for people in the office.
G.Outdoor play provides space, fresh air and sunlight, which indoor activities cannot.

Passage 14
The high-speed trap is a good example of how serious sport can make physical activity less enjoyable. Pressure to get good results, racing the clock, and always trying to improve make running harder for many people, both physically and mentally. 1 Just be slower, easier, focused on enjoyment and a healthy lifestyle-like slow jogging.
2 Its creator, professor Hiroaki Tanaka, was also a long-distance runner. His own health problems inspired him to create a training method based on low-intensity sessions and focusing on running technique. The style became popular in Japan and the USA during the 1990s and 2000s.
The core of slow jogging is smile. 3 Instead of pushing for speed and intensity, we go for movement that boosts our mood. With slow jogging, you can enjoy a smile and a conversation while you run.
Slow jogging is built around three main elements, making it different from other kinds of running. 4 Slow jogging is a low-intensity activity. The pace is very relaxed, with the heart rate staying below 70% of its maximum. While slow jogging can be done at any low speed, rhythm is what matters most. The best value is 180 steps per minute, which is typical for long-distance running. In slow jogging, instead of rolling from heel to toe, we land and push off from the middle of the foot. 5
When running, keep your posture upright-shoulders relaxed, arms bent and moving naturally. And of course, don’t forget to smile-that’s exactly what it’s all about!
A.Slow jogging started in Japan.
B.This is a natural running technique.
C.Training should feel good, not painful.
D.You have to deserve to run hard and fast.
E.Its variations have made it even more popular.
F.They are running pace, rhythm and landing technique.
G.That is why trying a new way of running is a good idea.
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.C 4.F 5.B

5.根据上文“In slow jogging, instead of rolling from heel to toe, we land and push off from the middle of the foot.(在慢跑时,我们不是从脚跟到脚尖滚动着移动,而是先从脚的中部着地再蹬地)”可知,这里讲慢跑技巧。由此可知,B. This is a natural running technique.(这是一种自然的跑步技巧)符合语境。故选B项。
Passage 15
When research-based learning was introduced at my school, I saw it as a frightening task. 1 My teacher, Mr Lee, changed my view. He said, “True learning starts with a question from your own life.” His words encouraged me to look around with curiosity.
I began to notice small things. Why did I prefer studying in the library corner near the window? What made group study sometimes effective and sometimes noisy? After thinking carefully, I settled on a simple question: Does background music help or hold back homework efficiency? This was my first lesson: Choose a question I truly want to answer. 2
Next, I needed a plan. I felt overwhelmed until I broke it down. I decided to experiment on myself for two weeks: one week with soft instrumental music, and one week in complete silence. 3 I also designed a short survey for my classmates. Making a clear, simple plan turns anxiety into action.
The real challenge came during the execution (执行). My self-observation was easy, but analyzing the results was confusing. After analysis, I found that the survey responses were mixed, and the results weren’t what I had expected. 4 Then, I remembered that research is about understanding, not just proving a point. So, I looked for patterns instead of a single answer. I prepared to learn from unexpected data, not just to confirm my guess.
5 I made two simple graphs about my focus and classmates’ music preferences. I saw music helped me with repetitive tasks but not with reading, and that preferences varied widely — showing no universal answer, only personal patterns. Presenting these findings taught me research is less about definitive truths and more about methodical exploration. It improved my ability to observe, plan, adapt, and communicate. Ultimately, the process itself is the real lesson. You can start your own research today by picking a small, curious question from daily life and following it step by step.
A.Finally, I turned to Mr Lee.
B.I almost thought my project was a failure.
C.My personal interest is the best motivation.
D.I tracked my focus time and task completion.
E.Later, Mr Lee suggested I picture my confusing data.
F.I had to give up the project I was doing at that moment.
G.The word “research” itself sounded too serious and distant.
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.E
