My Views on Fragmented Reading
Nowadays, fragmented reading — scrolling through short videos or browsing brief articles — has become increasingly popular. In my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, fragmented reading saves time and allows us to acquire information quickly. With just a smartphone, we can access diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere. However, the drawbacks are equally obvious. Constant exposure to short, scattered content weakens our ability to focus and think deeply.
Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection.Version 2
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
I shouted desperately, “Noah, are you alright?” He lay motionless for a second, then slowly propped himself up, wincing in pain. His knee was badly bruised, yet he forced a weak smile to comfort me. Without hesitation, he struggled to his feet and worked together with me to lower the main sail. Fighting against the fierce wind and rough waves, we cooperated perfectly just like we used to. I steered the boat steadily while Noah checked our condition constantly. Gradually, the storm calmed down, and a faint outline of the shore appeared in the distance.
We finally returned home, safe and sound. Tired and soaked, we sat quietly, breathing a huge sigh of relief. The scary experience washed away the estrangement between us. Noah apologized for ignoring me lately and promised to spare more time for our friendship. I was deeply touched. This dangerous sailing trip taught us a precious lesson. True friendship never fades easily, and shared hardships always bond hearts tighter.

A
From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live. Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality.
ON TRACK
Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear. The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market, which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years. The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app. The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep. All data is processed in the app, with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month.

GOOD TIMING
If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change, here’s a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it. Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces. The watches — from dress to dive styles — come in at under £500. Most lines are limited editions, so if you see one you like, time is probably running out.

PLASTIC PROGRESS
Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner. Developed by Bristol-based Matter, the Regen filter can be built into machines or bought separately and installed at home. The company claims 97% effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks, with no replacement filters required.

【解析】
1.细节理解题。根据ON TRACK部分中“The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app.(Fitbit Air比那些同类产品价格便宜不少,并且可以接入谷歌更新后的健康应用程序。)”可知,Fitbit Air的优势之一是价格更加实惠。
2.细节理解题。根据GOOD TIMING部分中“Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces.(Detrash是一个英国制表品牌,使用回收海洋塑料、钢材以及时尚行业边角料来制作腕表。)”以及PLASTIC PROGRESS部分中“Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner.(每年多达50万吨纺织品微塑料流入海洋,很大一部分来自洗衣机。现在有效的微塑料过滤器问世,其中包括一款2025登月奖获奖产品。)”可知,两款产品都有助于减少环境污染。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段“From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live. Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality.(从健身追踪设备到可持续时尚以及家用电器,创新产品正在改变我们的生活方式。以下是三款新发布的、结合智能科技与日常实用性的产品。)”可知,文章介绍改变生活的智能日用产品,属于杂志的“Smart Living(智能生活)”板块。
B
When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager eager to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening.
So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough: I struggled to finish my daily articles before the deadline. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: trying out Mediterranean restaurants, taking the Tube everywhere, and staying out late with friends.
For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more-just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke.
As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once ignored. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting.
I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become.
4. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate?
A. It offered few job opportunities.
B. It lacked modern entertainment.
C. It stuck to values she disagreed with.
D. It failed to satisfy her desire to explore.
5. What does the author say about her life in London?
A. She enjoyed a relaxed and balanced lifestyle.
B. She struggled with high living expenses and intense competition.
C. She quickly achieved her dream of owning an apartment.
D. She rarely went out with her friends due to work pressure.
6. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time?
A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions.
C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by her childhood experience.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North
C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me
【答案】4.D 5.B 6.C 7.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以时间推移和情感变化为双线展开。首段交代作者年轻时渴望离开家乡的原因,第二、三段叙述求学、进入大城市工作及逐渐感到生活压力的经历,第四段通过返乡见闻呈现对自然环境、邻里生活和小镇新变化的重新认识,末段将个人成长与家乡发展联系起来,完成从疏离到认同的情感转变。
【解析】
4.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But for a teenager eager to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. (但对于一个渴望看到更多世界的青少年来说,这种缺乏好奇心的情况令人沮丧。)”可知,作者想离开拉姆斯盖特是因为它无法满足作者探索的欲望。故选D项。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more-just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. (在共享的餐盘之间,我发现自己陷入了一场永无止境的激烈竞争,要更快地行动,需要赚更多的钱——只是为了跟上节奏。伦敦的房租压力很大,公寓很小,但拥有一个公寓的梦想就像一个残酷的玩笑。)”可知,作者在伦敦的生活中,面临着高昂的生活费用和激烈的竞争。故选B项。
6.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. (当我年轻的时候,我迫不及待地想逃离拉姆斯盖特,这个我在萨尼特岛长大的海港小镇。)”和第四段中的“As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. (随着年龄的增长,回到萨尼特岛的旅行让我看到了我留下的东西。主要是大海。)”以及最后一段中的“I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. (我已经爱上萨尼特岛,它不仅仅是我离开的家;它现在是它继续成为的地方。)”可推知,作者对萨尼特岛的情感随着时间的推移,从最初的排斥转变为重新连接。故选C项。
7.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合最后一段中的“Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. (每次访问都提醒我,地方和人一样,可以在不失去本质的情况下成长。我已经爱上萨尼特岛,它不仅仅是我离开的家;它现在是它继续成为的地方。)”以及结合全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者对家乡萨尼特岛的情感变化,从逃离到重新认识并爱上,家乡和作者都在成长,所以“A Growing Place, a Growing Me (一个成长的地方,一个成长的我)”是合适的标题。故选D项。
C
Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops.
Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong.
Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur.
An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers.
8. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author?
A. It generates positive feedback. B. It guarantees harmonious relationships.
C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth.
9. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI?
A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions.
B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction.
C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility.
D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts.
10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users?
A. Lack of technical capacity.
B. Conflicts with commercial interests.
C. Unawareness of its potential harm.
D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems?
A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed.
C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive.
【答案】8.D 9.D 10.B 11.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,按照确立论点、对比分析、推演后果、探讨对策的结构展开。首段论述人际摩擦对关系和道德成长的价值,第二段对照引出一味迎合用户的人工智能及其影响,第三段通过假设情境推演长期迎合的社会后果,末段揭示个人长期成长与商业目标之间的矛盾,并提出伦理追问及跨学科合作的方向。
【解析】
8.细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. (然而,正是通过这种社会摩擦,关系才能加深,对道德的理解才能发展。)”可知,作者认为社会摩擦能够加深人际关系并促进对道德的理解更深刻。
9.细节理解题。根据第二段“But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. (但随着人工智能系统被越来越多地用于人际关系和冲突方面的咨询,这种肯定可能会影响人们如何解读自己的行为和他人的观点,进而影响他们如何应对冲突以及在事情出错时是否承担责任。)”可知,谄媚式AI会导致人们对自己的行为判断失误(选项A)和承担责任意愿减弱(选项C);根据第三段最后一句“The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur. (累积效应是对社会摩擦的容忍度降低,而正是通过这种社会摩擦,责任感、换位思考和个人成长才得以发生。)”可知,对人际摩擦容忍度降低(选项B)也是后果之一。“解决现实生活冲突能力的提升”文章没有提及。
10.细节理解题。根据第四段“Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. (虽然AI可以改进以促进长期个人发展,但这样的目标与为最大化用户参与度而构建的系统相冲突。挑战用户或呈现令人不舒服的真相肯定会把他们赶走。)”可知,AI系统无法被改造成挑战用户的模式,是因为这与其追求最大化用户参与度的商业利益相冲突。
11.推理判断题。作者在第一段引出话题,指出社交摩擦虽然不可避免,但正是通过这种摩擦,人际关系才能加深、对道德的理解才能发展。第二段指出谄媚式AI会导致人们判断失误、逃避责任,在第三段指出其降低人们对社交摩擦的容忍度,在第四段指出其与商业利益的冲突及伦理困境,并呼吁跨学科合作来解决这些问题,表达了一种“谨慎担忧”的态度。
D
Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.
The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior — why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16-24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats — three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories.
In the experiment, a familiar caregiver — the child’s parent or the pet’s owner — interacted with a sponge (海绵) before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials — when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable — the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject.
The study, published in Animal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location.
So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did.
“This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.”
12. How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1?
A. By presenting a scientific theory. B. By citing pop culture images.
C. By questioning certain stereotypes. D. By describing a rescue experience.
13. What can we learn about the experiment?
A. The caregiver turned to the subject for help.
B. The first three trials were randomly conducted.
C. The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction.
D. The subjects have identical evolutionary histories.
14. What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fetching. B. Locating. C. Overlooking. D. Identifying.
15. What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”?
A. They are less attached to humans.
B. They are evolutionarily superior.
C. They help only when it pays to do so.
D. They are more efficient at problem-solving.
【答案】12.B 13.C 14.A 15.C
【导语】本文是一篇实验研究类说明文,按照现象引入、实验设计、结果比较、补充验证、原因解释的结构展开。首段借流行文化中的动物形象引出研究,第二、三段说明研究问题、比较对象和实验程序,第四段对比儿童、狗与猫的助人行为,第五段通过更换目标物品检验猫不采取行动的原因,末段引用专家观点,从进化与行为动机角度解释差异。
【解析】
12.推理判断题。根据第一段“Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.(流行文化认为,如果你被困在井里,莱西会带队救援,但如果你和加菲猫困在一起,你最好口袋里装些千层面。近期一项研究表明,这类刻板印象并非毫无根据)”可知,作者通过引用流行文化中的形象引出研究主题。
13.细节理解题。根据第五段中“So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy.(是猫咪不理解暗示,还是仅仅缺乏动力?为了弄清这一点,研究人员增设了最后一轮实验,用食物或心仪玩具替换了海绵)”可知,最后一轮实验是为了探究猫咪无作为的原因。
14.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver.(但儿童和狗狗更有可能表现出与助人相关的行为——靠近、指明或retrieving物品。到第三轮实验时,超过一半的狗和将近一半的孩子指明了物品的位置,有一些甚至把它拿给了看护者)”可知,retrieving在此处表示“取回、拿回”,与fetching含义一致。
15.推理判断题。根据第六段中“Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves.(然而猫咪保持独立,能认清状况,但不会被迫介入,除非能给自己带来直接好处)”可知,猫咪只在有利可图时才会提供帮助,这也是其被称作高效专精者的原因。
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 Handle Difficult People Without Losing Your Cool
You have spent hours on a project, only to have a coworker or superior criticize it for countless, non-existent flaws (瑕疵).______16______Your friend is ignoring you, and when you ask what the matter is, she replies, “Nothing,” and continues doing it anyway. People who are unreasonable or demanding — in work, family, or friendship — get on our nerves daily.
Dealing with difficult people requires thoughtful and consistent approaches.______17______Hypercritical colleagues may find fault with your report. It’s natural to get cross when they do so, but try to keep your eye on the ball. Your brother comments repeatedly that you organize family events poorly. Instead of engaging in a tense back-and-forth, ignore it and focus on issues that matter more. A friend complains all the time about your being late. Try not to conflict with him head on.______18______
Besides, empathy and humour can be powerful tools to minimize the friction. You don’t have to accept their behaviour, but acknowledging their feelings can lower their defensiveness and make the conversation more constructive. Humour, when gentle and respectful, can lighten the mood and remove tension. However, don’t let the joke go too far.______19______Avoid sarcasm (讥讽) which may make things worse.
______20______Be clear about what you will and will not tolerate. If someone crosses the line, it’s okay to step back. You don’t have to engage in arguments or explain yourself endlessly. Instead, you can end the conversation on a friendly but firm note.
A. The first rule is to brush it off.
B. It’s also important to set boundaries.
C. Above all, fight back if you get cross.
D. Instead, let it go so as not to sour the outing.
E. There’s a fine line between humor and offense.
F. Your teacher reminds you mildly of the paper deadline.
G. Your mother is breathing down your neck about your schedule.
【答案】16.G 17.A 18.D 19.E 20.B
【导语】本文是一篇方法指导类说明文,采用总分结构。首段列举工作、家庭和朋友交往中的困扰,引出如何冷静应对难相处之人的问题;后三段依次提出淡化无谓冲突、运用共情与适度幽默、明确交往界限三类方法,并结合具体情境、行为建议和注意事项说明如何落实。
【解析】
16.上文“You have spent hours on a project, only to have a coworker or superior criticize it for countless, non-existent flaws (瑕疵). (你花了好几个小时做一个项目,结果却被同事或上级批评了无数个根本不存在的缺陷。)”说明母亲会因为你的日程安排而唠叨你。空处和前文为并列关系,并列同类生活烦恼。所以G项“你妈妈一直在唠叨你的日程安排。”符合语境。故选G。
17.上文“Dealing with difficult people requires thoughtful and consistent approaches. (和难相处的人打交道需要深思熟虑和始终如一的方法。)”说明和难相处的人打交道需要深思熟虑和始终如一的方法。下文“Hypercritical colleagues may find fault with your report. It’s natural to get cross when they do so, but try to keep your eye on the ball. (吹毛求疵的同事可能会对你的报告挑刺。当他们这样做的时候,你生气是很自然的,但要把注意力集中在重要的事情上。)”说明面对吹毛求疵的同事,要把注意力集中在重要的事情上。空处承上启下,说明面对难相处的人如何做。所以A项“第一条规则是忽略它。”符合语境,it指代前文中提到的“和难相处的人打交道”这件事。故选A。
18.上文“A friend complains all the time about your being late. Try not to conflict with him head on. (一个朋友总是抱怨你迟到。尽量不要和他正面冲突。)”说明尽量不要和朋友正面冲突。空处承接前文建议,给出具体应对方式。所以D项“相反,随它去吧,以免影响出行。”符合语境。故选D。
19.上文“Humour, when gentle and respectful, can lighten the mood and remove tension. However, don’t let the joke go too far. (幽默,如果温和而尊重,可以缓解情绪,消除紧张。然而,不要让玩笑开得太过分。)”说明幽默要适度。下文“Avoid sarcasm (讥讽) which may make things worse. (避免使用讥讽,这可能会让事情变得更糟。)”告诫别用讽刺激化矛盾。空处承上启下,解释幽默需把握分寸的原因。所以E项“幽默和冒犯之间只有一线之隔。”符合语境。故选E。
20.下文“Be clear about what you will and will not tolerate. If someone crosses the line, it’s okay to step back. You don’t have to engage in arguments or explain yourself endlessly. Instead, you can end the conversation on a friendly but firm note. (要清楚你能容忍什么,不能容忍什么。如果有人越界了,你可以退后一步。你不必无休止地争吵或解释自己。相反,你可以友好而坚定地结束谈话。)”说明本段主要介绍设定界限也很重要。空处为本段的主旨句,统领全段,所以B项“设定界限也很重要。”符合语境,适合作段首句。故选B。
第二部分 语言知识运用(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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Every morning, Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh. He reached for his phone out of habit, and as he scrolled, his chest______21______slightly. His classmates were posting acceptance letters and photos from campus visits, their futures already beginning to______22______. He told himself he was happy for them. Sometimes that was true, but other times, it was a______23______he repeated until it sounded polite.
He began to______24______himself quietly. His grades felt unimpressive and his clothes too ordinary. Even his smile looked______25______, worn only for others. The mirror in the house caught him on bad mornings, with______26______eyes, shoulders bent forward. Some days he turned his face away from it. Other days, he stared too long, hoping it might show him a(n)______27______of himself that had already “arrived”.
One evening, his grandma______28______into the chair beside him and said softly, “Mirrors can lie.”
He laughed______29______. “They only show the truth, Grandma.”
She shook her head. “They show what you’re______30______to see.”
She told him of two seeds that were planted. One seed sprouted early and took away all the______31______.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,按照比较引发焦虑、焦虑加深、长辈开导、认识转变的结构展开。开头由主人公浏览同学动态引出自我否定,接着通过照镜子的细节呈现内心困境,中间借祖孙对话和两颗种子的故事推动认知转折,结尾再次回到镜前,与前文形成照应,点明尊重个人成长节奏、不盲目攀比的主题。
21.考查动词。句意:他习惯性地拿起手机,滑动屏幕时,他的胸口微微发紧。A. widened变宽;B. softened变柔和;C. lightened变轻松;D. tightened绷紧、发紧。根据上文“Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh”可知,主人公晨起心绪低落,看到同学的美好前景后内心压抑,胸口随之发紧。
22.考查动词短语。句意:同学们发布录取通知书和校园参观的照片,他们的未来已然开始初具雏形。A. fall apart崩溃;B. slip away溜走;C. take shape成形、初具雏形;D. make sense有道理。根据上文“His classmates were posting acceptance letters and photos from campus visits”可知,同学们升学已定,人生与未来已经逐步成型。
23.考查名词。句意:有些时候确实如此,但另一些时候,这只是一句我反复诉说、只为显得得体的谎言。A. lie谎言;B. trick诡计;C. secret秘密;D. promise承诺。根据上文“Sometimes that was true, but other times”可知,前后形成转折,主人公并非真心为同学高兴,只是客套的谎言。
24.考查动词。句意:他开始暗自审视、评判自己。A. warn警告;B. adjust调整;C. measure评判、衡量;D. challenge挑战。根据下文“His grades felt unimpressive and his clothes too ordinary”可知,主人公开始对比、评判自己的外在条件与个人状态。
25.考查形容词。句意:就连他的笑容看起来都十分牵强,只是为了迎合他人而故作出来的。A. borrowed借来的、刻意的;B. defeated受挫的;C. annoyed恼怒的;D. confused困惑的。根据下文“worn only for others”可知,他的笑容并非发自内心,只是刻意伪装、迎合他人的假象。
26.考查形容词。句意:在状态糟糕的清晨,镜子里的他双眼疲惫、双肩佝偻。A. guilty愧疚的;B. tired疲惫的;C. misty朦胧的;D. impatient不耐烦的。根据上文“Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh”以及主人公长期自我内耗的状态可知,他整日心绪低落、精神疲惫。
27.考查名词。句意:有些日子他久久凝视镜面,希望能从中看到那个已然功成名就、圆满蜕变的自己。A. version模样、版本;B. copy副本;C. story故事;D. example榜样。根据上文主人公自卑焦虑、羡慕他人的心境并结合后文“of himself that had already “arrived””可知,他渴望看到自己成功蜕变的另一种模样。
28.考查动词。句意:一天傍晚,奶奶缓缓坐在他身旁的椅子上,轻声说道:“镜子会说谎。”A. rushed冲刺;B. collapsed倒塌;C. crashed猛撞;D. eased舒缓挪动,使舒缓。根据下文“said softly”可知,奶奶动作轻柔舒缓,心境平和。
29.考查副词。句意:他苦涩地笑了笑:“奶奶,镜子只会呈现真实。”A. coldly冷淡地;B. wildly失控地;C. bitterly苦涩地;D. nervously紧张地。根据上文主人公自我否定、内心压抑的状态及后文“They only show the truth”可知,他此刻的笑声满是无奈与苦涩。
30.考查形容词。句意:她摇了摇头:“镜子映照出的,只是你准备好去看见的东西。”A. afraid害怕的;B. ready准备好的;C. proud骄傲的;D. unable无法的。根据上下文语境可知,人心境不同,看到的事物便不同,镜子只会呈现出个人内心愿意、准备好接纳的真相。
31.考查名词。句意:一颗种子早早发芽,抢占了所有的关注与目光。A. warmth温暖;B. strength力量;C. nutrition营养;D. attention关注。根据下文“where no one clapped”可知,早发芽的种子收获了外界所有的喝彩与关注,而深埋的种子无人问津。
32.考查动词。句意:但当属于它的时机到来时,这颗默默蛰伏的嫩芽奋力破土、向上生长。A. blocked阻挡;B. lost失去;C. forced奋力推进;D. wound缠绕。根据上文“The other stayed hidden, growing roots underground”可知,隐忍扎根的种子,最终凭借自身力量奋力向上生长。

34.考查名词。句意:第一次在自己疲惫的眼眸中看见了希望—他的人生并没有落后、也没有迟人一步。A. sympathy同情;B. trust信任;C. gratitude感激;D. hope希望。根据下文“his life was not late or behind”可知,他彻底释怀,重新对自己的人生抱有希望。

My Views on Fragmented Reading
Nowadays, fragmented reading — scrolling through short videos or browsing brief articles — has become increasingly popular. In my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, fragmented reading saves time and allows us to acquire information quickly. With just a smartphone, we can access diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere. However, the drawbacks are equally obvious. Constant exposure to short, scattered content weakens our ability to focus and think deeply.
Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection.Version 2

47. 阅读下面材料,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。
“I can’t see land!” Noah shouted over the strong wind.
I looked around nervously. The storm had arrived much earlier than expected. Dark clouds covered the sky, and huge waves surrounded our small boat. For a moment, we felt completely lost on the endless water.
Noah and I had been best friends since kindergarten. We used to spend almost every day together. However, things had changed recently. Noah joined the school basketball team, and he started spending more time with his new teammates. He ate lunch with them and worked on projects with them. We didn’t argue, but we were no longer as close as before.
Still, when I invited him to go sailing on the lake one weekend, he smiled and agreed. I thought maybe this trip could bring us back to the old days. But the storm ruined our plan.
The wind became stronger. Noah quickly lowered one of the sails, but the boat was still moving too fast. The wide main sail over our heads bit into the storm, grasping the wind’s power, sending us racing forward and pushing the side of the boat ever closer to the water. I held the tiller (舵柄) tightly, trying my best to keep the boat in the right direction, but it threatened to pull itself from my hands. If I let go, I would lose control of the boat.
“No one knows where we are!” Noah cried. His voice sounded frightened.
“We’ll be okay!” I replied, although I was not sure myself.
I looked ahead, but the land was still nowhere to be seen. My arms were becoming weak, and I could hardly hold the tiller anymore.
“We have to lower the main sail now!” I shouted.
Noah looked up and understood what I meant. He stood up carefully and reached for the sail. Just then, a huge wave came toward us. The boat was lifted high into the air and then crashed down. Noah fell heavily onto the floor of the boat.
注意:

【详解】
I shouted desperately, “Noah, are you alright?” He lay motionless for a second, then slowly propped himself up, wincing in pain. His knee was badly bruised, yet he forced a weak smile to comfort me. Without hesitation, he struggled to his feet and worked together with me to lower the main sail. Fighting against the fierce wind and rough waves, we cooperated perfectly just like we used to. I steered the boat steadily while Noah checked our condition constantly. Gradually, the storm calmed down, and a faint outline of the shore appeared in the distance.
We finally returned home, safe and sound. Tired and soaked, we sat quietly, breathing a huge sigh of relief. The scary experience washed away the estrangement between us. Noah apologized for ignoring me lately and promised to spare more time for our friendship. I was deeply touched. This dangerous sailing trip taught us a precious lesson. True friendship never fades easily, and shared hardships always bond hearts tighter.

A
From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live. Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality.
ON TRACK
Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear. The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market, which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years. The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app. The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep. All data is processed in the app, with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month.
Google Fitbit Air
£84.99, store.google.com
GOOD TIMING
If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change, here’s a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it. Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces. The watches — from dress to dive styles — come in at under £500. Most lines are limited editions, so if you see one you like, time is probably running out.
Detrash ‘Midnight Flamingo’
From £375, detrash.com
PLASTIC PROGRESS
Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner. Developed by Bristol-based Matter, the Regen filter can be built into machines or bought separately and installed at home. The company claims 97% effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks, with no replacement filters required.

When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager eager to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening.
So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough: I struggled to finish my daily articles before the deadline. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: trying out Mediterranean restaurants, taking the Tube everywhere, and staying out late with friends.
For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more-just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke.
As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once ignored. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting.
I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become.
4. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate?
A. It offered few job opportunities.
B. It lacked modern entertainment.
C. It stuck to values she disagreed with.
D. It failed to satisfy her desire to explore.
5. What does the author say about her life in London?
A. She enjoyed a relaxed and balanced lifestyle.
B. She struggled with high living expenses and intense competition.
C. She quickly achieved her dream of owning an apartment.
D. She rarely went out with her friends due to work pressure.
6. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time?
A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions.
C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by her childhood experience.

A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North
C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me
C
Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops.
Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong.
Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur.
An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers.
8. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author?
A. It generates positive feedback. B. It guarantees harmonious relationships.
C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth.
9. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI?
A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions.
B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction.
C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility.
D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts.
10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users?
A. Lack of technical capacity.
B. Conflicts with commercial interests.
C. Unawareness of its potential harm.
D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems?
A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed.
C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive.
D
Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.
The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior — why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16-24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats — three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories.
In the experiment, a familiar caregiver — the child’s parent or the pet’s owner — interacted with a sponge (海绵) before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials — when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable — the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject.
The study, published in Animal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location.
So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did.
“This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.”
12. How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1?
A. By presenting a scientific theory. B. By citing pop culture images.
C. By questioning certain stereotypes. D. By describing a rescue experience.
13. What can we learn about the experiment?
A. The caregiver turned to the subject for help.
B. The first three trials were randomly conducted.
C. The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction.
D. The subjects have identical evolutionary histories.
14. What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fetching. B. Locating. C. Overlooking. D. Identifying.
15. What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”?
A. They are less attached to humans.
B. They are evolutionarily superior.
C. They help only when it pays to do so.
D. They are more efficient at problem-solving.

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 Handle Difficult People Without Losing Your Cool
You have spent hours on a project, only to have a coworker or superior criticize it for countless, non-existent flaws (瑕疵).______16______Your friend is ignoring you, and when you ask what the matter is, she replies, “Nothing,” and continues doing it anyway. People who are unreasonable or demanding — in work, family, or friendship — get on our nerves daily.
Dealing with difficult people requires thoughtful and consistent approaches.______17______Hypercritical colleagues may find fault with your report. It’s natural to get cross when they do so, but try to keep your eye on the ball. Your brother comments repeatedly that you organize family events poorly. Instead of engaging in a tense back-and-forth, ignore it and focus on issues that matter more. A friend complains all the time about your being late. Try not to conflict with him head on.______18______

47. 阅读下面材料,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。
“I can’t see land!” Noah shouted over the strong wind.
I looked around nervously. The storm had arrived much earlier than expected. Dark clouds covered the sky, and huge waves surrounded our small boat. For a moment, we felt completely lost on the endless water.
Noah and I had been best friends since kindergarten. We used to spend almost every day together. However, things had changed recently. Noah joined the school basketball team, and he started spending more time with his new teammates. He ate lunch with them and worked on projects with them. We didn’t argue, but we were no longer as close as before.
Still, when I invited him to go sailing on the lake one weekend, he smiled and agreed. I thought maybe this trip could bring us back to the old days. But the storm ruined our plan.
The wind became stronger. Noah quickly lowered one of the sails, but the boat was still moving too fast. The wide main sail over our heads bit into the storm, grasping the wind’s power, sending us racing forward and pushing the side of the boat ever closer to the water. I held the tiller (舵柄) tightly, trying my best to keep the boat in the right direction, but it threatened to pull itself from my hands. If I let go, I would lose control of the boat.
“No one knows where we are!” Noah cried. His voice sounded frightened.
“We’ll be okay!” I replied, although I was not sure myself.
I looked ahead, but the land was still nowhere to be seen. My arms were becoming weak, and I could hardly hold the tiller anymore.
“We have to lower the main sail now!” I shouted.
Noah looked up and understood what I meant. He stood up carefully and reached for the sail. Just then, a huge wave came toward us. The boat was lifted high into the air and then crashed down. Noah fell heavily onto the floor of the boat.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I shouted desperately, “Noah, are you alright?”
