Sydney Opens Early for the World Cup and Sydney Marathon
The Socceroos’ run may be over, but the FIFA World Cup is far from finished. With the Sydney Marathon following in August, businesses across the city have plenty of reasons to open early.
Council (市议会) declared both the FIFA World Cup and the Sydney Marathon special events, unlocking extended trading hours so eligible (符合条件的) businesses can open early.
FIFA World Cup
With games kicking off in the early hours, non-licensed businesses can open early to serve fans out watching the football. Extended trading applies to eligible premises (营业场所) across the City of Sydney for the remaining World Cup games, with permitted opening times matched to each day’s fixtures:
Wednesday 15 July — from 4 am
Thursday 16 July — from 4 am
Sunday 19 July — from 6 am
Monday 20 July — from 4 am
Sydney Marathon
The 2026 Sydney Marathon starts at 6:15 am on Sunday 30 August and draws around 50,000 runners, along with even more spectators lining the course to cheer them on.
Eligible businesses in Sydney, Pyrmont, Darlinghurst, Surry Hills and Paddington — the suburbs along the route — can open from 4 am, so participants and visitors can grab a bite or a coffee before and during the race.
It’s a chance for local businesses to make the most of the crowds, welcome visitors to the area and share in the atmosphere of one of the city’s biggest days on the running calendar.
Who’s eligible
Restaurants, cafés, shops and takeaway food and drink outlets are all eligible. The extended hours will apply automatically and businesses already permitted to trade beyond these hours can continue as usual.
“The two events bring enormous energy to our city, and these extended hours let businesses meet that demand, welcome visitors and share in the excitement,” Lord Mayor of Sydney said.
1. When can non-licensed businesses open for the FIFA World Cup?
A. Monday 13 July — from 4 am. B. Tuesday 21 July — from 4 am.
C. Sunday 19 July — from 4 am. D. Wednesday 15 July — from 4 am.

Before reading Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential, I assumed success followed a predictable formula: hard work, discipline, and stability. I expected merely a culinary manual — kitchen routines and meal preparation tips. Instead, Bourdain delivered a raw memoir (回忆录) that completely shook my framework, forcing me to rethink authenticity (真实性), risk, and what it truly means to experience the world.
What struck me first was his honesty. He exposed the restaurant industry’s chaotic weaknesses: the unstable lives chefs led, the busy evening rushes, and even the worst times to order fish. This unflinching (不畏缩的) portrait revealed that fulfillment does not always emerge on a clean, comfortable path. Sometimes it germinates in the most uncomfortable atmospheres, where resilience (适应能力) is built through hardship. His anecdotes forced me to question whether my own fulfilled life demands playing it safe or embracing genuine curiosities, however messy and uncertain they may be.
Bourdain also reframed my understanding of failure. His career was far from an immediate success; it developed through missteps, rejections, and personal struggles. Yet he famously declared, “By being denied, a door opened.” For college students facing novel challenges, this mindset is crucial. It transforms failure from a final judgement into an inevitable, necessary driving force for growth. Rejection, he implied, is not a dead end but a redirect toward uncharted possibilities.
Another aspect that resonated deeply was his approach to curiosity and experience. Bourdain constantly embraced the unfamiliar — whether food, culture, or people. He once advised, “Be aware of the fact that you are the stupidest person in the room.” Far from discouraging, this remark liberates us from the pressure of having all the answers. Freedom, he suggested, lies in acknowledging our ignorance and diving headfirst into the unknown.
Finally, Bourdain changed how I view authenticity. Throughout the narrative, he wrote with an unapologetically raw voice, making readers feel like conversation partners rather than passive receivers. He taught me that being our true selves and taking up space in the world is not a luxury but a necessity.
4. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain how a memoir reshaped his views on life and success.
B. To summarize the cooking techniques taught in Kitchen Confidential.
C. To challenge Bourdain’s philosophy with traditional success formulas.
D. To criticize Bourdain’s pessimistic attitude toward the restaurant industry.
5. What does the underlined word “germinates” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Disappears. B. Develops. C. Hides. D. Sticks.
6. Which of the following would Bourdain disapprove of?
A. Failure doesn’t mean the end of growth.
B. Rejection doesn’t always close the door to success.
C. One can succeed by avoiding failures and mistakes.
D. College students can expect to find a way out after being denied.
7. Why did Bourdain advise “Be aware that you are the stupidest person in the room”?
A. To discourage people from trying new things.
B. To encourage people to stay humble and keep learning.
C. To acknowledge people’s ignorance about food and culture.
D. To make people feel anxious about their lack of knowledge.

It’s Saturday night and you’ve downloaded a new food delivery app. You’ve scanned the menus, picked some Mexican dishes, placed your order and are now tracking the delivery. But your food never comes — and you never expected it to. It sounds silly if you’ve never tried it, but this viral trend is more popular than you might think. Just one app alone, FoodNeverComes, claims nearly 1 million “appetites satisfied” to date. Why would people bother spending time on apps or websites that are built to never deliver? Ultimately, it’s all about getting a dopamine (多巴胺) hit.
Dopamine plays several important roles, including motivating us toward goals and helping your brain learn which actions lead to beneficial outcomes. With these new dopamine platforms, users don’t need to demonstrate payment details but they will experience: anticipation (“I might find something good”), selection (“I control my choices”), and a feeling of confirmation (“My order is placed!”). The only element of the process missing is consumption (“I received it”).
These dopamine apps are relatively new, so we don’t yet have specific research on how much they might serve as “gateway behaviors”. A gateway behaviour is an initial behaviour that opens a pathway toward later behaviors becoming more likely. However, this is an area that’s been well studied before in other areas like gaming. And that past research raises potential concerns — particularly since these dopamine apps are designed to be game-like.
Remember the old saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”! While these apps might be fun and free, your fake choices can still be incredibly valuable for marketers. Free apps often rely on advertising to pay for making their content free. Apps or websites that use Google AdSense to display their ads use tiny text files stored on your browser to track your online browsing habits. Third-party advertisers, including Google, can then use your history to serve you more targeted ads. If you do purchase that pretend jacket, don’t be surprised if you start seeing more ads for the real thing.
8. Why is the app FoodNeverComes mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To warn against online shopping. B. To show problems with food delivery.
C. To lead in a popular phenomenon. D. To illustrate people’s dietary preferences.
9. What can people obtain from dopamine platforms?
A. Real products at low prices. B. Suggestions for better choices.
C. Payment details for future use. D. A sense of control and excitement.
10. What does the author worry about regarding these dopamine apps?
A. They fail to attract enough users. B. They lead to other risky behaviors.
C. They charge high fees for services. D. They provide inaccurate information.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dopamine Apps: A Hidden Trap B. FoodNeverComes: A Popular App
C. Google AdSense: A Tracking Tool D. Dopamine Apps: An Entertaining Game
D
In a world that values speed, “Slow Reading” is becoming increasingly popular. Equipped with all kinds of digital devices, most of us get used to skimming online texts: we hunt for key words rapidly yet ignore the hidden meanings behind lines. Psychologists remind us that such reading habit damages our cognitive (认知的) patience, which refers to our capacity to analyze complicated thoughts for a long time.
According to Dr. Wolf, our brains are not born to read. Unlike speech, reading is a skill the brain must learn. Digital reading encourages a “Fast-shaped” pattern, where we look for the main points and skip the rest.
A recent study compared two groups of students. One group read a long story on an e-reader, while the second group read the same story in a printed book. The result was telling: those who read the physical book had a much better understanding of the plot’s timeline and emotional depth. It appears that the physical act of turning pages serves as a support for the memory.
However, the modern environment is designed to disrupt this focus. Constant notifications (通知) and the ease of clicking a new link prevent the brain from entering a state of “deep reading”. This prevents the reader from making personal connections with the text, leaving them with only a surface-level understanding of the information.
To rediscover the joy of reading, experts suggest a “digital diet”. This involves setting aside thirty minutes a day to read a physical book without any electronic distractions. By slowing down, we allow our brains to rebuild the neural pathways necessary for critical thinking and empathy. In the end, reading slowly is not about wasting time, but about reclaiming our minds.
12. What trouble does skimming online cause to readers?
A. The reliance on digital devices. B. The decline of reading efficiency.
C. The absence of cognitive capacity. D. The decrease of deep thinking ability.
13. What can we learn from the study?
A. Long stories are unsuitable for e-readers. B. Digital devices can show a story’s emotions.
C. Physical reading improves memory of stories. D. E-book readers have a clearer sense of time order.
14. What do experts suggest to improve our reading ability?
A. Scanning pages for more key words. B. Reading on e-readers more frequently.
C. Spending more time on physical reading. D. Setting up more digital links for information.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Slow Reading: Regain Control of Our Minds B. Skimming: A Popular Way of Digital Reading
C. Screen Reading: Barriers to Deep Comprehension D. Digital Diet: A Method to Restore Reading Ability

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。
In recent years, a new travel trend (趋势) has quietly come up among busy students and young professionals: micro-travel. ____16____ This trend reflects a growing desire to balance modern life with meaningful experiences — all without breaking the bank or using up limited vacation days.
Several factors drive this trend. First, the fast-paced modern lifestyle leaves little time for long trips. Weekends become precious windows for relaxation. Second, micro-travel is wallet-friendly. ____17____ Third, environmental awareness plays a role, as shorter distances mean lower carbon footprints.
Technology also pushes the trend. Social media platforms like Xiaohongshu are filled with micro-travel guides, showing scenic spots and cultural activities nearby. ____18____ One high school student from Hangzhou shared online: “I used to think travel required big plans, but last weekend, I visited a lakeside Chinese art show in my city. It felt like a mini-vacation!”
What makes micro-travel special is its focus on cultural exploration. ____19____ In Japan, young city dwellers (居民) might visit rural areas to attend tea ceremonies on Saturdays. In Italy, families often explore nearby villages during harvest festivals to taste local dishes and learn about ancient farming.
____20____ Small towns and cultural sites become seen and gain economic support, which helps protect heritage. For example, the comeback of traditional dyeing workshops in Guizhou, China, owes much to weekend visitors interested in hands-on experiences. Meanwhile, travelers return home with fresh thoughts and inspiration.
A. Many travelers use weekends to experience local traditions.
B. The rise of micro-travel benefits both travelers and communities.
C. Most importantly, micro-travel offers a unique way to relax mentally.
D. Apps like TripAdvisor or local tourism websites make it easy to plan a 48-hour adventure.
E. These experiences create lasting memories and deepen understanding of different cultures.
F. With rising travel costs, short trips cut down expenses on transportation and accommodation.
G. Unlike traditional vacations, micro-travel focuses on short, immersive (沉浸式) weekend trips to nearby cultural destinations.

47. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My grandfather was skillful at planting saplings (幼苗) and had a small garden in the backyard. Whenever I visited him during weekends, I loved watching him tend the young trees carefully. He always told me that growing trees, just like growing up, required steady effort and patience, and that shortcuts would never lead to solid growth. At that time, I was too young to fully understand his words.
Last spring, Grandpa allowed me to plant a young sapling of my own. Overjoyed, I chose a lovely little tree and began to work eagerly. I dug a hole, placed the sapling in it, and filled the hole with soil quickly. Wishing my tree to grow tall and strong in a short time, I watered it generously every day and kept checking it anxiously. However, days passed, and my sapling grew slowly while other trees in the garden looked fresh and lively.
Impatient and disappointed, I began to seek quick ways, completely leaving my grandpa’s reminding behind. I thought the tree was too weak to stand straight, so I pulled its trunk upward slightly every day, hoping to make it taller faster. I also added extra fertilizer secretly, believing more care would bring quicker results. I was proud of my clever method and firmly believed I could get a thriving tree soon.
Unexpectedly, my sapling gradually turned pale. Its leaves began to wither, and the thin trunk looked even weaker. Staring at the dying sapling, I felt upset and confused. I had tried so hard but got a terrible result.
注意:1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was then that Grandpa noticed my strange behavior and walked towards me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Grandpa’s words sank deep into my heart, sweeping away my previous ignorance completely.

Before reading Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential, I assumed success followed a predictable formula: hard work, discipline, and stability. I expected merely a culinary manual — kitchen routines and meal preparation tips. Instead, Bourdain delivered a raw memoir (回忆录) that completely shook my framework, forcing me to rethink authenticity (真实性), risk, and what it truly means to experience the world.
What struck me first was his honesty. He exposed the restaurant industry’s chaotic weaknesses: the unstable lives chefs led, the busy evening rushes, and even the worst times to order fish. This unflinching (不畏缩的) portrait revealed that fulfillment does not always emerge on a clean, comfortable path. Sometimes it germinates in the most uncomfortable atmospheres, where resilience (适应能力) is built through hardship. His anecdotes forced me to question whether my own fulfilled life demands playing it safe or embracing genuine curiosities, however messy and uncertain they may be.
Bourdain also reframed my understanding of failure. His career was far from an immediate success; it developed through missteps, rejections, and personal struggles. Yet he famously declared, “By being denied, a door opened.” For college students facing novel challenges, this mindset is crucial. It transforms failure from a final judgement into an inevitable, necessary driving force for growth. Rejection, he implied, is not a dead end but a redirect toward uncharted possibilities.
Another aspect that resonated deeply was his approach to curiosity and experience. Bourdain constantly embraced the unfamiliar — whether food, culture, or people. He once advised, “Be aware of the fact that you are the stupidest person in the room.” Far from discouraging, this remark liberates us from the pressure of having all the answers. Freedom, he suggested, lies in acknowledging our ignorance and diving headfirst into the unknown.
Finally, Bourdain changed how I view authenticity. Throughout the narrative, he wrote with an unapologetically raw voice, making readers feel like conversation partners rather than passive receivers. He taught me that being our true selves and taking up space in the world is not a luxury but a necessity.
4. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain how a memoir reshaped his views on life and success.
B. To summarize the cooking techniques taught in Kitchen Confidential.
C. To challenge Bourdain’s philosophy with traditional success formulas.
D. To criticize Bourdain’s pessimistic attitude toward the restaurant industry.
5. What does the underlined word “germinates” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Disappears. B. Develops. C. Hides. D. Sticks.
6. Which of the following would Bourdain disapprove of?
A. Failure doesn’t mean the end of growth.
B. Rejection doesn’t always close the door to success.
C. One can succeed by avoiding failures and mistakes.
D. College students can expect to find a way out after being denied.
7. Why did Bourdain advise “Be aware that you are the stupidest person in the room”?
A. To discourage people from trying new things.
B. To encourage people to stay humble and keep learning.
C. To acknowledge people’s ignorance about food and culture.
D. To make people feel anxious about their lack of knowledge.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述作者阅读一本回忆录后,自身对于成功、失败与人生的观念发生了巨大转变。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Instead, Bourdain delivered a raw memoir (回忆录) that completely shook my framework, forcing me to rethink authenticity (真实性), risk, and what it truly means to experience the world.(相反,波登带来了一本真实的回忆录,它彻底动摇了我的认知体系,迫使我重新思考真实、风险以及体验世界的真正含义。)”以及下文内容可知,文章主要介绍这本回忆录重塑了作者对人生和成功的看法。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Sometimes it germinates in the most uncomfortable atmospheres, where resilience (适应能力) is built through hardship.(有时候它会在最艰难的环境中germinates,人的适应能力正是在困境中养成的。)”以及结合后文困境培养韧性,可判断germinates此处含义为“发展、萌发”,与develop同义。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“His career was far from an immediate success; it developed through missteps, rejections, and personal struggles.(他的事业绝非一蹴而就;它是在失误、碰壁和自我挣扎之中一步步发展起来的。)”可知,波登认为失败与挫折是成长必经之路,因此他不会认同“人可以避开失败和失误而取得成功”这一观点。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Far from discouraging, this remark liberates us from the pressure of having all the answers. Freedom, he suggested, lies in acknowledging our ignorance and diving headfirst into the unknown.(这句话非但不是泼冷水,反而让我们卸下必须知晓一切答案的重担。他提出,自由就在于承认自己的无知,并义无反顾地投入未知世界。)”可知,这句话意在告诫人们保持谦逊,虚心学习新事物。

Remember the old saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”! While these apps might be fun and free, your fake choices can still be incredibly valuable for marketers. Free apps often rely on advertising to pay for making their content free. Apps or websites that use Google AdSense to display their ads use tiny text files stored on your browser to track your online browsing habits. Third-party advertisers, including Google, can then use your history to serve you more targeted ads. If you do purchase that pretend jacket, don’t be surprised if you start seeing more ads for the real thing.

【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕一类不提供实际商品配送的多巴胺应用展开介绍,分析了其运作原理,并指出这类应用可能存在引导用户不良行为、泄露用户浏览数据供商家精准营销的潜在风险。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It sounds silly if you’ve never tried it, but this viral trend is more popular than you might think. Just one app alone, FoodNeverComes, claims nearly 1 million “appetites satisfied” to date. Why would people bother spending time on apps or websites that are built to never deliver? Ultimately, it’s all about getting a dopamine (多巴胺) hit.(如果你从未尝试过,这听起来很愚蠢,但这种病毒式的趋势比你想象的更受欢迎。仅FoodNeverComes这一款应用,就声称迄今为止有近100万人“食欲得到满足”。为什么人们会费心在那些被设计成永远无法交付的应用程序或网站上花时间呢?最终,这一切都是为了获得多巴胺带来的冲击。)”可知,作者首先以FoodNeverComes这款应用为例,引出了当下存在的这种不提供实际配送却广受欢迎的多巴胺应用现象,后文围绕该现象展开分析。因此提及该应用是为了引入文章讨论的热门现象。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“With these new dopamine platforms, users don’t need to demonstrate payment details but they will experience: anticipation (“I might find something good”), selection (“I control my choices”), and a feeling of confirmation (“My order is placed!”).(在这些新型多巴胺平台上,用户不需要提交支付细节,但他们会体验到:期待感(“我可能会找到好东西”)、选择感(“我能掌控自己的选择”)以及确定感(“我的订单已经下好了!”))”可知,用户可以从这类多巴胺平台获得掌控感和期待带来的兴奋感。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“These dopamine apps are relatively new, so we don’t yet have specific research on how much they might serve as “gateway behaviors”. A gateway behaviour is an initial behaviour that opens a pathway toward later behaviors becoming more likely. However, this is an area that’s been well studied before in other areas like gaming. And that past research raises potential concerns — particularly since these dopamine apps are designed to be game-like.(这些多巴胺应用相对较新,因此我们目前还没有具体研究表明它们可能会在多大程度上成为“入门行为”。入门行为指的是一种初始行为,它会为后续更可能发生的行为开辟通路。然而,这一领域在游戏等其他领域之前已经得到了充分研究,过去的研究引发了人们的潜在担忧——尤其是因为这些多巴胺应用本身就被设计成类似游戏的模式。)”可推知,作者借鉴游戏领域关于入门行为的研究,担忧这类多巴胺应用会成为入门行为,引导用户产生其他风险行为。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段首先引入多巴胺应用这一现象,第二段解释其吸引用户的原理,最后两段作者提出两个潜在问题:一是这类应用可能成为引导其他风险行为的入门行为,二是这类应用会追踪用户的浏览习惯,为广告商提供精准营销的数据,本质上用户的个人数据成为了平台获利的来源。结合最后一段“Remember the old saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”! While these apps might be fun and free, your fake choices can still be incredibly valuable for marketers.(记住那句老话:“天下没有免费的午餐”!虽然这些应用可能有趣又免费,但你的虚假选择对营销人员来说仍然价值极高。)”可知,作者认为这类多巴胺应用实际上是隐藏的陷阱,会消耗用户的个人数据,带来潜在风险,因此最合适的标题是“Dopamine Apps: A Hidden Trap(多巴胺应用:一个隐藏的陷阱)”。

In a world that values speed, “Slow Reading” is becoming increasingly popular. Equipped with all kinds of digital devices, most of us get used to skimming online texts: we hunt for key words rapidly yet ignore the hidden meanings behind lines. Psychologists remind us that such reading habit damages our cognitive (认知的) patience, which refers to our capacity to analyze complicated thoughts for a long time.
According to Dr. Wolf, our brains are not born to read. Unlike speech, reading is a skill the brain must learn. Digital reading encourages a “Fast-shaped” pattern, where we look for the main points and skip the rest.
A recent study compared two groups of students. One group read a long story on an e-reader, while the second group read the same story in a printed book. The result was telling: those who read the physical book had a much better understanding of the plot’s timeline and emotional depth. It appears that the physical act of turning pages serves as a support for the memory.
However, the modern environment is designed to disrupt this focus. Constant notifications (通知) and the ease of clicking a new link prevent the brain from entering a state of “deep reading”. This prevents the reader from making personal connections with the text, leaving them with only a surface-level understanding of the information.
To rediscover the joy of reading, experts suggest a “digital diet”. This involves setting aside thirty minutes a day to read a physical book without any electronic distractions. By slowing down, we allow our brains to rebuild the neural pathways necessary for critical thinking and empathy. In the end, reading slowly is not about wasting time, but about reclaiming our minds.
12. What trouble does skimming online cause to readers?
A. The reliance on digital devices. B. The decline of reading efficiency.
C. The absence of cognitive capacity. D. The decrease of deep thinking ability.
13. What can we learn from the study?
A. Long stories are unsuitable for e-readers. B. Digital devices can show a story’s emotions.
C. Physical reading improves memory of stories. D. E-book readers have a clearer sense of time order.
14. What do experts suggest to improve our reading ability?
A. Scanning pages for more key words. B. Reading on e-readers more frequently.
C. Spending more time on physical reading. D. Setting up more digital links for information.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Slow Reading: Regain Control of Our Minds B. Skimming: A Popular Way of Digital Reading
C. Screen Reading: Barriers to Deep Comprehension D. Digital Diet: A Method to Restore Reading Ability
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了在追求速度的时代,网络快速浏览削弱人们深度思考能力。研究证实纸质阅读理解效果更佳,专家建议远离电子干扰进行慢阅读,以此重建思辨与共情能力,掌控自己的思维。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Psychologists remind us that such reading habit damages our cognitive (认知的) patience, which refers to our capacity to analyze complicated thoughts for a long time.(心理学家提醒我们,这种阅读习惯会损害我们的认知耐心,即长时间分析复杂思维的能力)”可知,在线浏览会导致读者深度思考能力的下降。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The result was telling: those who read the physical book had a much better understanding of the plot’s timeline and emotional depth. It appears that the physical act of turning pages serves as a support for the memory.(结果显而易见:阅读实体书的人对情节的时间线和情感深度理解得更加透彻。看来,翻页这一物理行为有助于记忆的巩固)”可知,实体阅读能提高对故事的记忆力。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To rediscover the joy of reading, experts suggest a “digital diet”. This involves setting aside thirty minutes a day to read a physical book without any electronic distractions.(专家建议,要重新找回阅读的乐趣,可以采用一种“数字节食”,即每天抽出30分钟,专心阅读实体书本,避免任何电子干扰)”可知,专家建议我们多花时间进行实体阅读。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To rediscover the joy of reading, experts suggest a “digital diet”. This involves setting aside thirty minutes a day to read a physical book without any electronic distractions. By slowing down, we allow our brains to rebuild the neural pathways necessary for critical thinking and empathy. In the end, reading slowly is not about wasting time, but about reclaiming our minds.(专家建议,要重新找回阅读的乐趣,可以采用一种“数字节食”方式。这指的是每天抽出三十分钟,专心阅读实体书本,避免任何电子干扰。通过放慢节奏,我们让大脑重建出批判性思维和同理心所需的神经通路。归根结底,慢读并非浪费时间,而是重新掌控自己的思想)”结合文章主要说明了在追求速度的时代,网络快速浏览削弱人们深度思考能力。研究证实纸质阅读理解效果更佳,专家建议远离电子干扰进行慢阅读,以此重建思辨与共情能力,掌控自己的思维。可知,A选项“慢速阅读:重新掌控我们的思维”最适合作为文章标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In recent years, a new travel trend (趋势) has quietly come up among busy students and young professionals: micro-travel. ____16____ This trend reflects a growing desire to balance modern life with meaningful experiences — all without breaking the bank or using up limited vacation days.
Several factors drive this trend. First, the fast-paced modern lifestyle leaves little time for long trips. Weekends become precious windows for relaxation. Second, micro-travel is wallet-friendly. ____17____ Third, environmental awareness plays a role, as shorter distances mean lower carbon footprints.
Technology also pushes the trend. Social media platforms like Xiaohongshu are filled with micro-travel guides, showing scenic spots and cultural activities nearby. ____18____ One high school student from Hangzhou shared online: “I used to think travel required big plans, but last weekend, I visited a lakeside Chinese art show in my city. It felt like a mini-vacation!”
What makes micro-travel special is its focus on cultural exploration. ____19____ In Japan, young city dwellers (居民) might visit rural areas to attend tea ceremonies on Saturdays. In Italy, families often explore nearby villages during harvest festivals to taste local dishes and learn about ancient farming.
____20____ Small towns and cultural sites become seen and gain economic support, which helps protect heritage. For example, the comeback of traditional dyeing workshops in Guizhou, China, owes much to weekend visitors interested in hands-on experiences. Meanwhile, travelers return home with fresh thoughts and inspiration.
A. Many travelers use weekends to experience local traditions.
B. The rise of micro-travel benefits both travelers and communities.
C. Most importantly, micro-travel offers a unique way to relax mentally.
D. Apps like TripAdvisor or local tourism websites make it easy to plan a 48-hour adventure.
E. These experiences create lasting memories and deepen understanding of different cultures.
F. With rising travel costs, short trips cut down expenses on transportation and accommodation.
G. Unlike traditional vacations, micro-travel focuses on short, immersive (沉浸式) weekend trips to nearby cultural destinations.

My grandfather was skillful at planting saplings (幼苗) and had a small garden in the backyard. Whenever I visited him during weekends, I loved watching him tend the young trees carefully. He always told me that growing trees, just like growing up, required steady effort and patience, and that shortcuts would never lead to solid growth. At that time, I was too young to fully understand his words.
Last spring, Grandpa allowed me to plant a young sapling of my own. Overjoyed, I chose a lovely little tree and began to work eagerly. I dug a hole, placed the sapling in it, and filled the hole with soil quickly. Wishing my tree to grow tall and strong in a short time, I watered it generously every day and kept checking it anxiously. However, days passed, and my sapling grew slowly while other trees in the garden looked fresh and lively.
Impatient and disappointed, I began to seek quick ways, completely leaving my grandpa’s reminding behind. I thought the tree was too weak to stand straight, so I pulled its trunk upward slightly every day, hoping to make it taller faster. I also added extra fertilizer secretly, believing more care would bring quicker results. I was proud of my clever method and firmly believed I could get a thriving tree soon.
Unexpectedly, my sapling gradually turned pale. Its leaves began to wither, and the thin trunk looked even weaker. Staring at the dying sapling, I felt upset and confused. I had tried so hard but got a terrible result.

【答案】例文
It was then that Grandpa noticed my strange behavior and walked towards me. Casting a glance at the withered sapling with pale leaves, I hung my head low, overwhelmed by deep disappointment and guilt. Sensing my anxiety and regret, Grandpa did not blame me. Instead, he squatted down to check the weak trunk patiently. He reminded me gently again that tree growth needed steady effort and enough time, just like personal growth, and that seeking shortcuts would always end up in vain.
Grandpa’s words sank deep into my heart, sweeping away my previous ignorance completely. I finally understood the true meaning of his early advice. I abandoned my impatient ways and started to care for the sapling following his guidance. I watered it moderately every day and never tried to speed up its growth artificially. With consistent and patient care, the sapling slowly recovered, sprouting new leaves day by day. It was this experience that taught me a precious lesson that genuine growth doesn’t rely on shortcuts, but on down-to-earth efforts and persistent patience.
