B Mr.Johnson,a high school history teacher,had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom.While his students could carefully remember dates,names and events for exams,they always failed to understand the human side of history.To them,the past seemed a fixed set of facts,without emotion,struggle or personal meaning.Wanting to fix this gap,Mr.Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester,trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task. He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective.The task was confusing at first,but soon the classroom wasfull of active questions and discussion.One student eamed deeply about the life ofa young soldier in World War I,writing a sad and moving story ofthe mud,fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines.Another told the story of a female scholarfrom the Renaissance,making up a tale ofher love for learning being held back by socal rule.The thorough rescarc and creative are for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing. Mr.Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students.The essays he got were notjust coret they 2 ere full ofaingandaear understanding of peop thousThe studnts had stoppedjut epeating factsandulycotdithhistory,scing historica figuresas people with manydiffreside instead of ust from aong timea.In later talks,their questions changedro"What happeneWy did they fee that wayandWhat would I have done?This srywritingho didnuebeterthrtothink deepy and heracreo others felt. Inspired by this su,Mr.Johson has nowmade story-tellingargular part ofhis lessons.He believes that when student toexperience history through story-telling,they do more than just remember it-they start to understand its long-asting effectson their own lives and what it means to be human in general.In his classroom,history is no longer just a subject about the past;it has become a talk with the past. 14.What was Mr.Johnson's initial problem with his students?

Forget about it. "Witnessing increasing trends in diverse media consumption and rates of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)in young people,it's easy to conclude that there is a decrease in their attention span,"said Carl Marci,a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Links between ADHD diagnoses and screen time remain to be explored,since many factors could account for a steady rise in cases.Yet more parents say their kids are more distracted.Research suggests that watching short,fast-paced videos makes it harder for kids to sustain activities that don't offer instant and constant satisfaction.

For years,scientists believed our brains handled these two decision types differently.They thought free choices,feeling personal,involved special brain activities.However,new research shows our brains make both free and forced decisions in surprisingly similar ways. How does our brain decide?Studies show it doesn't suddenly pick an option.Instead,it gradually gathers evidence for each choice.Think of a computer loading bar():as your brain gathers information,the bar fills.nce enoughvidee supportson option,your brain decides.Thiscan happen very fast,of before you are aware.To est this,researchers reorded people's brain activity while they chosecolord balloons.They viewed either two balloons ofdifferent colours tofreely choose,ora single balloon they were forced to pick. They presseda button the moment they made their ho.The brain activity,for bothfree and forced ecisions, 4 unfolded in a very similar way.Like a loading bar,it climbed steadily to the same top level just before a choice was made. This discovery might make us wonder:are our free choices truly free?While the brain's decision- making ro mightbeomtic(自动的)，the“i”it gathers comes from you.As researchers explained,"The evidence it weighs up is drawn entirely from who you are".Your unique preferences,goals, and shape your pp maygothrougtheme hoosing po and landnh same choice,but they arrive there for completely different reasons. Rather than asking whether our choices are truly free,perhaps the better question is what it really means for a choice to be yours.And the next time you find yourself in line at the bakery,know that your brain has already been quietly gathering evidence toward your choice,and that choice happens a little faster than you realise. 22.Why does the author mention the bakery story in paragraph 1? A.To introduce the topic of decision-making. B.To compare various bakery product choices C.To describe a common shopping experience. D.To prove why cakes taste better than breads. 23.What does the new research find about choices? A.Free choices requires more time. B.They both depend on spiritual efforts C.Forced decisions are more natural. D.They are processed comparably in the brain. 24.Which statement will the author probably agree with? A.Automatic signals control our behaviors. B.Our individuality defines how we choose. C.Freedom matters more than other factors. D.Our past affects our independent thinking. 25.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.How Forced Decisions Shape Minds B.The Role of Preferences in Choices C.How the Brain Weighs to Make Decisions D.The Difference Between Two Brain Signals 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Break Up with Your Phone Smartphones have become an inseparable part of modern life.We check them first thing in the momning and last thing at night.26.But experts warn that excessive phone use can lead to anxiety,sleep problems,and reduced attention spans. The first step to regaining control is awareness.Many people don't realize how often they pick up their phones.27.You might be surprised to find that you unlock your phone over 100 times a day without even thinking about it. 5 Once you know your habits,set clear boundaries.Designate phone-free zones in your home-the dinner table,the bedroom,o the bathroom are good places to start.28When you remove the device from your immediate environment,you remove the temptation. Another effective strategy is to turn off unnecessary notifications.Most alerts are designed to grab your attention,not to convey important information.29.You'll quickly realize that you don'tmiss much,and the peace of mind is well worth it. Finally,replace screen time with meaningful activities.Instead of scrolling through social media,try reading a book,going for a walk,or having a face-to-face conversation.30.The goal isn't to abandon technology completely-it's to use it intentionally rather than habitually. Remember,breaking up with your phone is a process,not an overnight transformation.Start small,be patient with yourself,and celebrate every step toward a healthier relationship with your device. A.Try keeping a log of your phone usage for a day or two B.Thismight sound difficutatfirst,but it gets asier with practice C.The average person spends over four hours a day on their mobile device D.Studies have shown that simply having a phone in sight can reduce cognitive performance E.By doing so,you're not just killing time-you're investing in your well-being F.People who spend less time on their phones report higher levels of life satisfaction G.Start by turning off all non-essential alerts and see how it feels 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a talkative tour guide,I always seem to have something to say,enjoying sharing my own experiences.
