Opportunities will include facilitating teacher training and making presentations at various meetings led by Historic Royal Palaces. (他们将被邀请成为Historic Royal Palaces的教师大使。机会包括协助教师培训以及在Historic Royal Palaces主持的各种会议上发言。)”可知，全国获胜者将有机会发表演讲。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Entries open on Monday 21 December 2025 at 00:01 and close on Wednesday 25 March 2026 at 23:59. (报名时间为2025年12月21日星期一00:01，截止日期为2026年3月25日星期三23:59。)”可知，候选人应在2026年3月26日之前完成参赛提交。 B Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbors are ready to welcome“The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Why did Donna decide to replace the chair and bucket? A. To avoid unsuitable choices. B. To get better seating for chats. C. To attract more neighbors. D. To adapt to warmer weather. 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. 7. What does “The Bench” represent at the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past winter. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述两位七旬老人添置长椅休闲闲谈，长椅因使用者活动不断更名，成为邻里温情纽带的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而，在接下来的几天里，事实证明我们所需要的不只是一把椅子和一个水桶，它们并不是十分舒适。唐娜觉得我们需要一张长椅)”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(而且，它非常适合两位七旬老人在下午晚些时候闲谈)”可知，唐娜更换椅子和水桶是为了获得更舒适的落座环境、更好地闲谈。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.(这是我们的‘思考长椅’！我们思考生活中发生的重要事情)”、“he declared it a ‘Decision-Making Bench’(他称它为‘决策长椅’)”以及“she insisted she was ‘meditating (冥想)’, adding yet another name(她坚称自己正在‘冥想’，又为它增添了一个新名字)”可知，长椅的多个名字来源于使用者在长椅上的不同活动。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes.(在接下来的几个月里，我数次瞥见这张长椅，它孤零零地立着，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子)”可知，提到花盆和箱子是为了说明，冬季长椅被闲置，失去了原本的作用。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居)”以及最后一段“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbors are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(但现在，漫长的冬天已然过去，春花即将在温暖的阳光下绽放，而我们这些邻居也准备好迎接“长椅”重新回到我们的生活之中。)”可知，这张长椅串联起邻里互动，是社区邻里情谊的象征。 C Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. The paper, published in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioral types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes). “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,” said Dr Bressel. This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioral profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioral profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimize bad outcomes. Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviors. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that maybe information alone isn’t enough and specific intervention is needed. “Standard information campaigns work for most but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. 8. What were participants expected to do in the online learning game? A. Make choices. B. Win awards. C. Identify errors. D. Observe behaviour. 9. What is a striking finding of the new study? A. Cognition declines with age. B. Unawares account for the largest. C. Behavioral patterns are consistent. D. Mistakes influence personality types. 10. What does the author suggest for public health campaigns? A. Reviewing behavior errors. B. Developing tailored strategies. C. Increasing lecture frequency. D. Promoting information campaigns. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. Knowing Right, Doing Wrong. B. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Understanding Rules, Breaking All. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一项新研究，探究部分人明知后果仍做出有害选择的现象、分类及现实启示。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The paper, published in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. (这篇发表在《自然通讯·心理学》上的论文详细介绍了一款在线学习游戏，参与者被要求在两个行星之间点击，以获得奖励或避免惩罚)”可知，参与者要做出选择。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioral profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. (有趣的是，当参与者六个月后被邀请回来玩同一个游戏时，大多数人表现出相同的行为特征。Bressel说：“这一发现十分引人注目。”)”可知，引人注目的发现是大多数参与者在六个月后表现出相同的行为模式，即行为模式具有一致性。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But this study suggests that maybe information alone isn’t enough and specific intervention is needed. (但这项研究表明，或许仅靠信息是不够的，还需要针对性的干预措施)”可知，作者建议制定量身定制的策略。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. (为什么有些人即便后果显而易见，却仍不断做出有害的选择？一项新研究发现，对一小部分人而言，问题并非缺乏动力或能力，而是一种细微但长期存在的、无法将自身行为与其后果关联起来的问题)”可知，文章开篇提出有些人明知有害却仍做出错误选择，全文围绕“明知后果却无法将行为与后果联系起来”这一核心问题展开，说明这些人并非缺乏动力或能力，而是存在认知与行为脱节的问题。A选项“Knowing Right, Doing Wrong (明知是对，却行错事)”准确概括了这一现象，是文章的最佳标题。 D Are you more logical or creative? If you believe you’re the former, you might be labeled “left-brained”; if the latter, then “right-brained”. It’s widely believed that the left brain is for analysis and the right is for creativity and that our characteristics are determined by which half is dominant. However, the idea that people are either left-brained or right-brained is a myth. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, modern brain research hasn’t found any conclusive evidence of left or right brain dominance. One serious problem of this view is its one-sided definition of human abilities. Math, for instance, which requires logical thought, is generally associated with the left brain, but it is also a genuinely creative activity. So is a gifted mathematician left-brained or right-brained? Likewise, artistic creativity isn’t just uncontrolled emotion. Many of the greatest works of art are products of thorough, precise thought. Like many modern myths, the left/ right brain theory is rooted in a bit of real science. In the 1960s, Nobel Prize-winning research on epilepsy (癫痫) patients, who had undergone surgery to separate the two halves of their brains, made an unexpected discovery: the right half was better at spatial (空间的) tasks, while the left excelled at language and problem-solving. Yet the real division of labor in the brain is far more complex than the claim that “the left brain is for logic and the right is for creativity.” Then, why is the myth so popular? It satisfies our desire to label ourselves as simple “types”. This works much like the Barnum Effect, a famous psychological phenomenon: people easily believe general, positive personality descriptions — like those from MBTI tests — are true and accurate. Similarly, the left/ right brain theory is popular because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves. 12. What does the underlined part “a myth” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. A false belief. B. A mysterious idea. C. An ancient concept. D. An established theory. 13. What can be known about a gifted mathematician? A. He is artistically creative. B. He has integrated abilities. C. He is definitely left-brained. D. He has uncontrolled emotion. 14. Which best describes the left/ right brain theory? A. It is truly objective. B. It is entirely groundless. C. It is scientifically proven. D. It is rather oversimplified. 15. Why is the left/ right brain theory popular? A. It focuses on ourselves. B. It uses the Barnum Effect. C. It meets people’s mental needs. D. It gives an accurate description. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要揭秘左右脑分工谬论，介绍其科学来源及广为流行的原因。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“However, the idea that people are either left-brained or right-brained is a myth. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, modern brain research hasn’t found any conclusive evidence of left or right brain dominance. (然而，认为人们要么是左脑主导、要么是右脑主导的这种观点，其实是a myth。尽管我们显然都有不同的性格和才能，但现代大脑研究尚未发现任何关于左脑或右脑优势的确凿证据)”可知，并没有确凿证据证明大脑左右脑优势理论，由此可知左脑或右脑主导是错误的观念，因此a myth意为“一个错误的观念”。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Math, for instance, which requires logical thought, is generally associated with the left brain, but it is also a genuinely creative activity. So is a gifted mathematician left-brained or right-brained? (例如，数学虽然需要逻辑思维，通常被认为与左脑相关，但它同时也是一种真正具有创造性的活动。那么，一位有天赋的数学家是左脑主导还是右脑主导呢？)”可知，数学既需要逻辑也需要创造力，由此可推知有天赋的数学家拥有综合的能力。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yet the real division of labor in the brain is far more complex than the claim that “the left brain is for logic and the right is for creativity.” (然而，大脑中真正的分工远比“左脑负责逻辑，右脑负责创造”这一说法要复杂得多)”可知，大脑实际分工远比该理论复杂，这一理论过于简化。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It satisfies our desire to label ourselves as simple “types”. (它满足了我们将自己贴上简单“类型”标签的欲望)”及“Similarly, the left/ right brain theory is popular because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves. (同样，左右脑理论之所以流行，是因为它给了我们一种“科学的”方式来谈论我们最喜欢的话题——我们自己)”可知，该理论流行是因为它满足了人们的心理需求。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures. ____16____ The most obvious benefit is academic. Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. ____17____ When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions. Live theater also teaches how to develop relationships. People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding. ____18____ In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness. ____19____ Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind. As a result, students are more likely to accept statements such as “I think people can have different opinions about the same thing”. Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry. ____20____ There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance. Given these significant benefits — academic, emotional, social, and occupational — schools should guarantee that students never miss out on these transformative experiences. A. Plays don’t just require actors. B. Live theater makes class discussion intolerable. C. The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance. D. A synchronized audience is perfect for building social tolerance. E. The shared experience of something moving helps people connect. F. Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development. G. For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a blueprint. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了尽管受预算影响，学校组织观剧活动减少，但现场戏剧在学业提升、情感培养、包容心态及职业认知方面益处显著，学校应让学生拥有这类成长体验。 【16题详解】 前文“William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures.( 威廉·莎士比亚曾说过“整个世界都像一个舞台”，但令人遗憾的是，由于预算压力，学校参观活动在剧院的参与度出现了下降。)”指出“由于预算压力，学校组织的剧院参观量有所下降”，后文用四个段落详细阐述现场戏剧对学生的多重好处。F选项“Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development.( 但现场戏剧体验对于学生的成长仍然至关重要。)”以“然而”转折，直接点明现场戏剧对学生发展的核心重要性，完美承上启下，引出全文的论证主体。 【17题详解】 前文“Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. (观看现场演出的学生在对内容和词汇的掌握程度上，要比观看同部剧目电影改编版的学生表现得更好。)”提到看现场戏剧的学生比看电影改编版的学生在内容和词汇掌握上表现更好；后文“When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions.( 当看到它以生动的形式呈现出来时，他们能够在讨论舞台布置和舞台指示的诠释时建立起全面的理解。)”指出“当看到戏剧被生动呈现时，学生能在讨论舞台设计和舞台指示解读时建立全面理解”。G选项“For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a blueprint.( 对于研究英语戏剧的人来说，一部戏剧的文本仅仅是一个蓝图。)”将戏剧文本比作“蓝图”，说明文本本身是不完整的，需要现场演出的“生动呈现”才能被真正理解，精准衔接前后文的逻辑关系。 【18题详解】 前文“People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding.( 在剧院的观众席中，人们的心率会同步。这种行为已被证明能够加强社会联系。)”提到“剧院观众的心率会同步，这种行为能增强社会联结”；后文“In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness.( 事实上，观看戏剧时普遍高涨的情绪也能让学生明白，表达和感受悲伤等情绪是完全正常的。)”进一步指出“观看戏剧时共同的强烈情绪也教会学生合理表达情绪”。E选项“The shared experience of something moving helps people connect.( 共同体验到一种动人的场景有助于人们建立联系。)”中的“shared experience of something moving”既对应前文的“心率同步”，又呼应后文的“common heightened emotion”，自然衔接“社会联结”与“情绪共鸣”两个要点。 【19题详解】 后文“Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind.( 学校非常欢迎利用戏剧和表演来开展那些让学生能够进行艰难讨论的活动，让学生能够探索不同的观点，并以开放的心态接纳他人。)”讲的是戏剧能开启深度讨论，让学生接纳多元视角、包容不同观点。C选项“The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance.( 前往剧院的实际过程本身也能增强社会包容性。)”为本段主旨句，引出本段核心培养包容心态、接纳不同观点。 【20题详解】 前文“Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry.( 最后，戏剧有助于让学生了解到该行业所提供的各种工作机会。)”指出“戏剧能让学生了解行业内的各类工作岗位”；后文“There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance.( 有很多后台角色，这些角色往往直到你观看现场演出时才会变得明显起来。)”补充说明“有很多后台角色，只有体验过现场演出才会了解”。A 选项“Plays don’t just require actors.( 戏剧表演并不只是需要演员。)”直接点明“戏剧不只是需要演员”，完美衔接前后文关于“戏剧行业多元职业”的论述，逻辑清晰。 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Jerry was an outgoing and sociable boy.

But one yellow tabby with beautiful brown eyes captured my heart. We played our version of hide-and-seek around the yard — he would sneak up from behind a tree until he reached me, and I would act startled. I named him Skippy. Our bond soon traveled beyond the boundaries of our yard. Every morning, he would walk me to school. Every afternoon, he’d wait at our home entrance, recognize my footsteps regardless of which shoes I was wearing, and meow his greeting. My mother, worried about germs, established a strict rule — Skippy was to remain an outdoor cat. However, love knows no rules. Each night, he would secretly slip in through my window, sleeping warmly at my feet. At sunrise, I’d let him out, only for him to run to me as if we hadn’t seen each other for ages. This routine continued for seven years. Then came a life-altering decision: I was going to the United States for college — the hardest choice I’d ever made. Before departure, I hugged Skippy tight, not knowing how to explain that I wouldn’t return from school that day. Life in the U.S. was busy, but my thoughts often drifted back to Istanbul. In every phone call to my mother, I asked about Skippy. At first, she hesitated. Finally, months later, she sighed softly and broke the news, “He kept coming to your window. Eventually, he stopped eating and disappeared. I’m sorry sweetheart, but he is likely gone.” There was silence on the phone, interrupted by the sound of my sobbing. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One year later, I flew back for winter break with a mixed feeling of excitement and sadness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a flash of movement outside the window of my room made me freeze. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One year later, I flew back for winter break with a mixed feeling of excitement and sadness. I was happy to return home, but my heart was heavy with sorrow. The yard felt cold and quiet without Skippy’s warm greetings. I went to my room, gently touching the window he used to climb through. Memories of our seven years together rushed in — walking to school, playing hide-and-seek, and sleeping together at night. My mother rested her hand on my arm. The hush was deafening, amplifying the guilt simmering inside me since I left. Blinking back tears, I whispered an apology to the air, convinced that my faithful companion was lost forever. Suddenly, a flash of movement outside the window of my room made me freeze. I held my breath, wondering if it was just a fantasy. To my great surprise, a yellow tabby with beautiful brown eyes appeared. It was Skippy! I opened the window immediately and called his name. He looked at me, then gave a soft and familiar meow, rubbing my hand gently. Tears of joy ran down my face. Some bonds are too deep to be broken by time or distance, and true love always waits. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者和一只名为Skippy的黄虎斑猫的情感经历为线索展开，讲述了作者在伊斯坦布尔与Skippy结下深厚情谊，但因去美国上大学而分开，一年后作者回国，原以为Skippy已不在人世，却在房间窗外再次见到它的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一年后，我怀着兴奋和悲伤交织的心情飞回国度寒假。”可知，第一段可描写作者回国后因见不到Skippy而悲伤，回忆与它在一起的时光，内心充满愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，我房间窗外闪过一个身影，让我愣住了。”可知，第二段可描写作者看到Skippy出现在窗外，激动不已，感悟到有些情感不会被时间和距离冲散。 2.续写线索：回国度假——悲伤回忆——窗外身影——惊喜重逢——感悟情感 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①轻声说：whisper/murmur/say softly ②出现：appear/show up ③流下来：run down/roll down 情绪类 ①悲伤：sorrow/grief ②令某人吃惊的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】I went to my room, gently touching the window he used to climb through.(运用了现在分词作状语和省略了that/which的定语从句) 【高分句型2】Blinking back tears, I whispered an apology to the air, convinced that my faithful companion was lost forever.

B Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbors are ready to welcome“The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Why did Donna decide to replace the chair and bucket? A. To avoid unsuitable choices. B. To get better seating for chats. C. To attract more neighbors. D. To adapt to warmer weather. 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. 7. What does “The Bench” represent at the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past winter. D. A memory of a valued online order. C Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. The paper, published in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioral types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes). “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,” said Dr Bressel. This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioral profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioral profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimize bad outcomes. Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviors. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that maybe information alone isn’t enough and specific intervention is needed. “Standard information campaigns work for most but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. 8. What were participants expected to do in the online learning game? A. Make choices. B. Win awards. C. Identify errors. D. Observe behaviour. 9. What is a striking finding of the new study? A. Cognition declines with age. B. Unawares account for the largest. C. Behavioral patterns are consistent. D. Mistakes influence personality types. 10. What does the author suggest for public health campaigns? A. Reviewing behavior errors. B. Developing tailored strategies. C. Increasing lecture frequency. D. Promoting information campaigns. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. Knowing Right, Doing Wrong. B. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Understanding Rules, Breaking All. D Are you more logical or creative? If you believe you’re the former, you might be labeled “left-brained”; if the latter, then “right-brained”. It’s widely believed that the left brain is for analysis and the right is for creativity and that our characteristics are determined by which half is dominant. However, the idea that people are either left-brained or right-brained is a myth. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, modern brain research hasn’t found any conclusive evidence of left or right brain dominance. One serious problem of this view is its one-sided definition of human abilities. Math, for instance, which requires logical thought, is generally associated with the left brain, but it is also a genuinely creative activity. So is a gifted mathematician left-brained or right-brained? Likewise, artistic creativity isn’t just uncontrolled emotion. Many of the greatest works of art are products of thorough, precise thought. Like many modern myths, the left/ right brain theory is rooted in a bit of real science. In the 1960s, Nobel Prize-winning research on epilepsy (癫痫) patients, who had undergone surgery to separate the two halves of their brains, made an unexpected discovery: the right half was better at spatial (空间的) tasks, while the left excelled at language and problem-solving. Yet the real division of labor in the brain is far more complex than the claim that “the left brain is for logic and the right is for creativity.” Then, why is the myth so popular? It satisfies our desire to label ourselves as simple “types”. This works much like the Barnum Effect, a famous psychological phenomenon: people easily believe general, positive personality descriptions — like those from MBTI tests — are true and accurate. Similarly, the left/ right brain theory is popular because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves. 12. What does the underlined part “a myth” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. A false belief. B. A mysterious idea. C. An ancient concept. D. An established theory. 13. What can be known about a gifted mathematician? A. He is artistically creative. B. He has integrated abilities. C. He is definitely left-brained. D. He has uncontrolled emotion. 14. Which best describes the left/ right brain theory? A. It is truly objective. B. It is entirely groundless. C. It is scientifically proven. D. It is rather oversimplified. 15.

But one yellow tabby with beautiful brown eyes captured my heart. We played our version of hide-and-seek around the yard — he would sneak up from behind a tree until he reached me, and I would act startled. I named him Skippy. Our bond soon traveled beyond the boundaries of our yard. Every morning, he would walk me to school. Every afternoon, he’d wait at our home entrance, recognize my footsteps regardless of which shoes I was wearing, and meow his greeting. My mother, worried about germs, established a strict rule — Skippy was to remain an outdoor cat. However, love knows no rules. Each night, he would secretly slip in through my window, sleeping warmly at my feet. At sunrise, I’d let him out, only for him to run to me as if we hadn’t seen each other for ages. This routine continued for seven years. Then came a life-altering decision: I was going to the United States for college — the hardest choice I’d ever made. Before departure, I hugged Skippy tight, not knowing how to explain that I wouldn’t return from school that day. Life in the U.S. was busy, but my thoughts often drifted back to Istanbul. In every phone call to my mother, I asked about Skippy. At first, she hesitated. Finally, months later, she sighed softly and broke the news, “He kept coming to your window. Eventually, he stopped eating and disappeared. I’m sorry sweetheart, but he is likely gone.” There was silence on the phone, interrupted by the sound of my sobbing. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One year later, I flew back for winter break with a mixed feeling of excitement and sadness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a flash of movement outside the window of my room made me freeze. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
