Everyone knew 10-year-old Ananya as “the question girl”.
“Ananya, stop asking so many questions!” her teacher Mrs. Sharma would say. “Just accept things as they are,” her grandmother told her. “She talks too much,” her classmates avoided her.
Ananya felt lonely. Maybe everyone was right. Maybe asking questions was bad. But Ananya couldn’t help it. She wanted to understand everything.
One day, Mr. Patel, a new science teacher, joined their school. In his first class, Ananya raised her hand, “Why do birds fly south?” The class complained (抱怨), “Not again!” But Mr. Patel smiled, “That’s an excellent question! Who else wants to know why?” Ananya blinked (眨眼) in surprise. No teacher had ever said that before!
After class, Mr. Patel called Ananya aside. “Don’t ever stop asking questions,” he said. “Do you know what scientists do all day? They ask ‘why’. Every scientist was once a curious child.” For the first time, Ananya didn’t feel annoyed (烦恼的). She felt special.
Mr. Patel taught Ananya to find answers herself. “When you have a question, first try to find the answer. Read books. Watch carefully. Then, if you still don’t understand, ask.”
Ananya started visiting the library. She read books about science and nature. She started a “Question Notebook”.
Her questions became better. Instead of “Why is the sky blue?” she asked “Why does the sky’s color change during sunrise?” Teachers noticed. Ananya’s questions now sparked interesting discussions.
When Ananya was twelve, she had a question: “Why do some street dogs sleep on the road at night?” She studied that for three months. Then she created a project showing temperature differences. It won first prize at school, then district, then national level!
Today, Ananya is 24 and studies environmental science. She still asks “why” all the time. She visits schools, talking to children. “Never let anyone make you feel bad for being curious,” she tells them.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Did you notice how nature sometimes repeats itself? Something that repeats is called a pattern. There are many patterns for you to study and learn.
Look around you. Patterns are everywhere. You may see bright and colorful patterns if you look at fish in the sea. In a bee’s honeycomb, the six-sided shape is repeated many times. Some leaves always have five points on them.
Listening carefully, you will find a noisy world. Dogs bark, the rain falls and the wind blows. Are these patterns? Of course! Sounds that repeat are patterns. A cricket (蟋蟀) uses its wings to make repeated chirping (啁啾叫) sounds. Do you know that a cricket’s chirp changes with the temperature? The hotter it is, the more chirps a cricket will make.
Try to find out how living things grow around you. Seeds (种子) grow into plants. A butterfly begins life as an egg. Each living thing has its own pattern as it grows. When a human baby is born, it is small. With time, the baby learns to lift its head and learns to roll over. Finally, the baby learns to stand up and walk. This kind of pattern is called a pattern of development.
If something happens over and over, it, too, forms a pattern. For example, you get up at 7:00 every morning. You get dressed and then eat breakfast at 7:30 a.m. If you repeat this many times, it becomes a pattern. Having a music class every Monday is a pattern. So is going to school five days a week and having Saturday and Sunday off.
It seems as if the world is full of patterns. Just think—without patterns, the world would be much harder to study!
10. What makes the pattern in a bee’s honeycomb?
A. The shape. B. The color. C. The taste. D. The weight.
11. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Patterns you can see. B. Patterns you can hear.
C. Patterns you can smell. D. Patterns you can touch.
12. Which picture shows “a pattern of development”?
A. B. C. D.
13. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To share knowledge of patterns. B. To discuss when patterns were found.
C. To explain why patterns are beautiful. D. To show the difficulty of studying patterns.
D
Minqin, lying in the city of Wuwei in Gansu, is sandwiched between China’s third and fourth-largest deserts. It is one of the country’s main sources (来源) of sandstorms. In 2007, then 26-year-old Ma Junhe started Minqin’s first environmental protection volunteer program named Save Minqin after reading in a newspaper that his hometown was at risk of being covered by sand within 17 years. The program started with just 60 volunteers. Last year, more than 6,000 volunteers planted suosuo trees there, most of whom were aged between 18 and 30, also called GenZers.
Zhang Liwen, an 18-year-old girl from Xi’an, spent five days planting suosuo trees in Minqin. “This idea came from my wish to complete a meaningful coming-of-age ceremony, but now I find value in contributing (贡献) to society,” Zhang said. The vlogs shared by Zhang are lively and attractive. She filmed a group of young volunteers, including herself, planting trees with stylish sports sunglasses, enjoying local noodles in their tent, and dancing in the desert after work.
Li Xiuniang, from Heilongjiang province, also posted her volunteer work online. “This task isn’t just for Minqin; it’s for all of China,” she said.
Lee Ting-Hsuan, a 20-year-old student from Taiwan, is one of thousands of volunteers who travel to Minqin every year. Around 20 young volunteers from Macao also joined the program. “Through tree planting, we get a deeper understanding of Northwest China and its culture,” one of them said.
Since 2007, over 80,000 volunteers have joined this program and they have planted over 1.52 million trees, making a green promise in the yellow sands. Ma Junhe said, “GenZers are more confident in achieving their dreams. They really enjoy meaningful public activities, and help a lot by sharing their stories online, attracting more people to take action.”
14. What directly pushed Ma Junhe to set up the Save Minqin program?
A. The fear of meeting sandstorms. B. The love of green mountains.
C. The wish to attract more GenZers. D. The worry of losing his hometown.
15. Why does the writer list the number of volunteers in the first paragraph?
A. To prove that Minqin needs more and more volunteers.
B. To show the rapid development of the volunteer program.
C. To call on more volunteers to plant suosuo trees in Minqin.
D. To compare the number of young volunteers with the older ones.
16. Zhang Liwen’s vlogs can attract more volunteers because the vlogs show ______.
A. their contribution to our society B. the hardship of planting trees
C. the colorful life of volunteering D. the comfortable life in Minqin
17. What might be the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To show young people from Taiwan and Macao are active.
B. To introduce the dangerous condition that Minqin is facing.
C. To introduce different ways of encouraging people to plant trees.
D. To show the strong volunteering willingness of Chinese GenZers.
第二节
阅读短文,从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一个多余的选项。
We all answer questions every day. But how do you know if your answer is actually reasonable (合理的)? Here are four simple ways to check.
Think about the logic (逻辑)
A reasonable answer must follow basic logic. If your answer disagrees with common knowledge, something is probably wrong. For example, if a math problem asks how many apples are in a basket, and you get “-5”, that isn’t reasonable. ____18____ Always ask yourself, “Does this fit the real world?”
Use real-life examples
Let’s say you are solving a science question, “Why do we feel cold in winter?” A reasonable answer is, “Because the temperature drops.” Now compare that with an unreasonable answer, “Because the sun gets angry.” The first answer uses facts. The second sounds funny but has no science behind it. When you give an answer, try to connect it to something you have actually seen or experienced.
____19____
Before you finish, ask yourself, “Is my answer close to what I expected?” Let’s do a quick math check. If you calculate 38×4, and you get 152, that feels right. But if you get 1,520, that is too big. Compare your answer with an estimate (估算). If they are very different, go back and check your work.
Ask yourself questions
This is the easiest method. Just ask yourself, “Is the answer reasonable?” “Can I explain the answer to a friend?” “Would my teacher accept the answer?” If you can’t explain your answer in simple words, you might not fully understand it yourself. ____20____
In short, a reasonable answer is logical, factual (事实的), close to your estimate, and easy to explain. ____21____ You will make fewer mistakes and feel more confident.
A. Next time you finish a question, spend a few seconds checking.
B. A good answer should be easy to talk about.
C. Compare it with what you expected.
D. Connect it with what you already know.
E. You cannot have negative apples.

Once a week, I was allowed to sleep over at my friend Nicole’s home, a chance to stay away from my mother.

Watching Nicole’s mother made me question my mother’s dream. Taking care of me played such an important ____25____ in her life that she had no time to develop a hobby.
As a teenager, I found it impossible to imagine a ____26____ life without a career or at least a hobby. Why did her interests and dreams never seem to bubble up to the ____27____? Could she truly be happy as only a homemaker? I began to suggest possible ways to my mom: having ____28____ at the university in design or fashion or starting a restaurant.
“Too much work! You know, Gary’s mom starts her own restaurant—now she’s always running around! She ____29____ has time for anything else,” said my mother.
“When I’m at school, what do you do all day?”
“I do a lot, okay! You just don’t understand. When you move out, you will see ____30____ Mommy has done for you.”
It wasn’t until years later, after I left for college, that I began to understand what it ____31____ to make a home. And I realized how much I had taken mine for granted (视……为理所当然).
22. A. hardly B. finally C. completely D. equally

Qin Shihuang is a widely known emperor in Chinese history. During his rule, he ordered his men to build a huge army of life-sized terracotta warriors. These, he hoped, would guard him after his ____32____ (die).
Today, the soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are light brown, but they ____33____ (be) not always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. ____34____ (sad), most of the colors did not last to the present day. ____35____ their discovery, these soldiers were protected by being underground.

They then cover it in plastic.
Experts are also finding colors in the dirt around Xi’an’s terracotta soldiers. They consider it important not ____40____ (touch) the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. The next challenging thing is to find a way to apply the colors ____41____ the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to life in full color.
四、阅读与表达(共4小题,41-43小题,每小题2分;44小题4分,满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
CALL A FRIEND AND TALK
Last Sunday my best friend texted me to tell me that she was going to study abroad. I nearly cried. Just a text message? I sent her a short “congratulations” message with lots of emojis (表情符号). I tried to feel happy, but I didn’t. For me, words and symbols on a screen are not enough. If it’s important, we should talk.
Am I an old-fashioned girl? On the phone, you can hear whether a person is happy or sad, excited or disappointed. You can hear emotions. But maybe that’s exactly the problem. Maybe we are scared of people’s emotional reactions when we call them. Or perhaps we don’t want them to hear our true feelings.
We seem to be cheerful in the social media world. Or we are excited, or shocked. Or some other strong feelings that make us use lots (yes, lots!!!) of exclamation marks. That’s not real life. Some days are boring. Sometimes we might be in low spirits but a chat with a good friend on the phone would cheer us up. Try it! You don’t have to talk about how terrible you’ve been feeling. Just talk. If your friend takes time for you, you’ll feel so much better after talking to him or her. And friendship is about sharing true emotions, the negative ones and the positive ones.
Just relax yourself. You misunderstand your friend. A text message can’t be more convenient. You can send it anytime and anywhere.
It matters which way to choose. If the thing is important, a simple text message can’t show care between close friends. A warm call does, instead.
Perhaps the way out is not to choose one side, but to find a middle ground. Calls, messages and emojis — they’re there. Call me when you are free; text me when busy.
Day and night, my phone shows me messages from my boss, workmates and friends. Why don’t people call me? Anyway, I am totally on your side.
42. How did the writer feel when receiving the text message?
_____________________________________________________
43. Why do some people avoid calling according to the writer?
_____________________________________________________
44. What does the writer suggest doing in Paragraph 3?
_____________________________________________________
45. Do you prefer to call or text your friend? Why? (Give one reason in your own words. Write more than 30 words)
_____________________________________________________
五、书面表达(满分20分)

【导语】本文主要讲述了甘肃民勤的防沙治沙环保志愿者项目“拯救民勤”的发展历程,重点介绍了该项目吸引了大批中国Z世代年轻人参与植树造林的事迹,展现了中国年轻一代强烈的志愿服务意愿和社会责任感。
【14题详解】
根据第一段“Ma Junhe started Minqin’s first environmental protection volunteer program named Save Minqin after reading in a newspaper that his hometown was at risk of being covered by sand within 17 years.”可知,马俊河在报纸上读到家乡可能在17年内被沙子覆盖,这种家乡面临消失的风险直接促使他建立了该项目,即担心失去家乡。
【15题详解】
根据第一段“The program started with just 60 volunteers. Last year, more than 6,000 volunteers planted suosuo trees there”可知,作者列举项目开始时的60人和去年的6000多人,通过数据的巨大反差旨在展示该志愿者项目的快速发展。
【16题详解】
根据第二段描述“She filmed a group of young volunteers, including herself, planting trees with stylish sports sunglasses, enjoying local noodles in their tent, and dancing in the desert after work.”可知,张丽雯的vlog记录了年轻人戴潮流墨镜种树、帐篷里吃当地面条、下班后在沙漠跳舞等内容,这些都展现了志愿生活丰富多彩的一面,因此能吸引更多志愿者。
【17题详解】
通读全文可知,文章介绍了“拯救民勤”项目,重点描述了马俊河发起项目以及来自西安、黑龙江、台湾、澳门等地的年轻人积极参与植树志愿活动的故事,最后一段也引用马俊河的话强调Z世代的自信和行动力。因此写作目的是展现中国Z世代强烈的志愿服务意愿。
第二节
阅读短文,从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一个多余的选项。
We all answer questions every day. But how do you know if your answer is actually reasonable (合理的)? Here are four simple ways to check.
Think about the logic (逻辑)
A reasonable answer must follow basic logic. If your answer disagrees with common knowledge, something is probably wrong. For example, if a math problem asks how many apples are in a basket, and you get “-5”, that isn’t reasonable. ____18____ Always ask yourself, “Does this fit the real world?”
Use real-life examples
Let’s say you are solving a science question, “Why do we feel cold in winter?” A reasonable answer is, “Because the temperature drops.” Now compare that with an unreasonable answer, “Because the sun gets angry.” The first answer uses facts. The second sounds funny but has no science behind it. When you give an answer, try to connect it to something you have actually seen or experienced.
____19____
Before you finish, ask yourself, “Is my answer close to what I expected?” Let’s do a quick math check. If you calculate 38×4, and you get 152, that feels right. But if you get 1,520, that is too big. Compare your answer with an estimate (估算). If they are very different, go back and check your work.
Ask yourself questions
This is the easiest method. Just ask yourself, “Is the answer reasonable?” “Can I explain the answer to a friend?” “Would my teacher accept the answer?” If you can’t explain your answer in simple words, you might not fully understand it yourself. ____20____
In short, a reasonable answer is logical, factual (事实的), close to your estimate, and easy to explain. ____21____ You will make fewer mistakes and feel more confident.
A. Next time you finish a question, spend a few seconds checking.
B. A good answer should be easy to talk about.
C. Compare it with what you expected.
D. Connect it with what you already know.
E. You cannot have negative apples.
【答案】18. E 19. C 20. B 21. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,核心围绕“如何判断自己给出的答案是否合理”展开,介绍了4种简单可操作的校验答案合理性的方法,最后总结了合理答案的共性与校验的意义。
【18题详解】
前文提到“if a math problem asks how many apples are in a basket, and you get ‘-5’, that isn’t reasonable.”,举例算出苹果数量为负数不合理,空处需要承接前文,解释该答案错误的原因。对应选项E“You cannot have negative apples.”承接前文负数苹果的例子,说明不存在负数数量的苹果,贴合本段逻辑校验的内容,自然引出下文“是否符合现实世界”的自问。
【19题详解】
空处是本段的小标题,后文整段围绕完成答案前要将结果和自己的估算值做对比,如果二者相差很大就回头检查的内容展开。对应选项C“Compare it with what you expected.”精准概括了本段将计算结果和预先估算的预期值做比对的核心方法,契合段落主旨。
【20题详解】
前文提到如果没法用简单的话解释答案,可能自己都没有完全理解它,空处需要承接这一“可解释性”的内容。对应选项B“A good answer should be easy to talk about.”承接前文的自我提问、向朋友解释答案的内容,呼应本段“自问自查”的方法,说明合理的答案应该是易于表述解释的。
【21题详解】
空处在全文末尾的总结段,前文已经归纳了合理答案的几个特征,后文提到“You will make fewer mistakes and feel more confident.”,说明能带来少犯错、更自信的好处,空处需要起到衔接方法总结和行动指引的作用。对应选项A“Next time you finish a question, spend a few seconds checking.”顺承前文介绍的四种校验答案合理性的方法,发出做完题后花几秒自查的行动倡议,自然引出后续这么做能收获的正向效果。
二、完形填空(共10小题,每小题1分;满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Once a week, I was allowed to sleep over at my friend Nicole’s home, a chance to stay away from my mother.
Nicole’s relationship with her mom was ____22____ different from mine. They were more like friends than mother and daughter. And they actually seemed to ____23____ spending time together. They often baked (烘烤) in their home, dreaming of the coffee shop her mother wished to ____24____.
Watching Nicole’s mother made me question my mother’s dream. Taking care of me played such an important ____25____ in her life that she had no time to develop a hobby.
As a teenager, I found it impossible to imagine a ____26____ life without a career or at least a hobby. Why did her interests and dreams never seem to bubble up to the ____27____? Could she truly be happy as only a homemaker? I began to suggest possible ways to my mom: having ____28____ at the university in design or fashion or starting a restaurant.
“Too much work! You know, Gary’s mom starts her own restaurant—now she’s always running around! She ____29____ has time for anything else,” said my mother.
“When I’m at school, what do you do all day?”
“I do a lot, okay! You just don’t understand. When you move out, you will see ____30____ Mommy has done for you.”
It wasn’t until years later, after I left for college, that I began to understand what it ____31____ to make a home. And I realized how much I had taken mine for granted (视……为理所当然).
22. A. hardly B. finally C. completely D. equally
23. A. regret B. enjoy C. practise D. avoid
24. A. open B. draw C. find D. sell
25. A. trick B. game C. tool D. part

【答案】22. C 23. B 24. A 25. D 26. C 27. A 28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者通过对比朋友与母亲的关系,反思自己母亲为家庭的付出,最终理解了母爱的伟大与持家的意义。
【22题详解】
句意:妮可和她妈妈的关系和我的完全不一样。
后文点明她们更像朋友,和作者的母女关系差异很大,completely different表示“完全不同”符合语境。hardly“几乎不”、finally“最终”、equally“平等地”均无法体现差异程度。
【23题详解】
句意:她们实际上似乎很享受在一起的时光。
前文提到二人关系融洽像朋友,说明她们很享受在一起的时光,应用enjoy。regret“后悔”、practise“练习”、avoid“避免”均不符合友好语境。
【24题详解】
句意:她们经常在家烘焙,憧憬着她妈妈想要开的咖啡店。
“dreaming of the coffee shop her mother wished to...”表明妮可妈妈的梦想是开咖啡店,应用open。draw“画”、find“找到”、sell“卖”均不符合语境。
【25题详解】
句意:照顾我在她的生活中扮演了如此重要的角色,以至于她没有时间发展爱好。
固定搭配play an important part in,意为“在……中起重要作用”,应用part。trick“把戏”、game“游戏”、tool“工具”均无法构成此搭配。
【26题详解】
句意:十几岁的时候,我无法想象没有事业、至少没有爱好的有意义的生活。
根据上下文,作者当时不理解家庭主妇的价值,认为没有爱好事业的生活就没有意义,应用meaningful。popular“受欢迎的”、familiar“熟悉的”、difficult“困难的”均不符合作者当时的内心想法。
【27题详解】
句意:为什么她的兴趣和梦想似乎从来不会浮现到表面?
bubble up to the surface是固定表达,意为“浮现、显露出来”,此处指母亲的兴趣和梦想从不表露出来。market“市场”、pool“池塘”、sky“天空”均不符合语义搭配。
【28题详解】
句意:我开始给妈妈提一些可能的方法:去大学上设计或时尚的课程,或者开一家餐馆。
“at the university in design or fashion”表明是在大学上课,应用courses。shows“演出”、gifts“礼物”、parties“派对”均不符合大学场景。
【29题详解】
句意:她从来没有时间做别的事。
前文提到开餐馆后总是四处奔忙,因此没有时间做其他事,应用never。always“总是”、certainly“当然”、really“真正地”均与忙碌语境矛盾。
【30题详解】
句意:等你搬出去了,你就会明白妈妈为你做的一切。
根据上下文,此处强调妈妈为自己付出的全部,应用everything。something“某事”无法体现妈妈忙的抽不出时间培养自己的爱好、anything“任何事”常用于否定句或疑问句,均不符合。
【31题详解】
句意:直到多年后我去上大学,才开始明白打理一个家意味着什么。
“what it...to make a home.”表明作者最终明白打理家庭的真正含义,meant“意味着”符合语境。saved“拯救,节省”、mentioned“提及”、shared“分享”均不符合作者顿悟持家不易的心境。
第二部分 非选择题
三、语篇填空(共10小题,每小题1分;满分10分)
阅读短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空,使短文通顺、连贯。
Qin Shihuang is a widely known emperor in Chinese history. During his rule, he ordered his men to build a huge army of life-sized terracotta warriors. These, he hoped, would guard him after his ____32____ (die).
Today, the soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are light brown, but they ____33____ (be) not always this color.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了秦始皇兵马俑的颜色保护问题,讲述了兵马俑原本是彩色的,但出土后颜色很快消失,现在专家们正在利用新技术来保护和恢复兵马俑的颜色。
【32题详解】
句意:他希望这些(兵马俑)能在他死后保护他。分析句子结构,设空处前“his”为形容词性物主代词,其后应接名词,提示词die的名词形式为death。
【33题详解】
句意:今天,西安兵马俑博物馆里的士兵是浅棕色的,但它们并不总是这种颜色。分析句子结构,根据句意可知,此处描述的是兵马俑过去的状态,应使用一般过去时;主语“they”为复数,be动词用were。
【34题详解】
句意:令人遗憾的是,大多数颜色并没有保留到今天。分析句子结构,设空处在句首修饰整个句子,应使用副词作状语;提示词sad的副词为sadly,位于句首首字母需大写。
【35题详解】
句意:在被发现之前,这些士兵因为在地下而得到了保护。分析句子结构和语境,兵马俑是在被发现“之前”受到地下环境的保护,表示“在……之前”用介词before,位于句首首字母需大写。
【36题详解】
句意:油漆在比煮熟一个鸡蛋还要短的时间内就消失了,带走了它重要的历史碎片。分析句子结构,根据设空处后的“than”可知,此处应使用形容词比较级;提示词little的比较级为less。
【37题详解】
句意:新技术被用来保护这支军队的真实颜色。分析句子结构,设空处修饰后面的名词短语“true colors”,表示“军队的”,应使用名词所有格形式army’s。
【38题详解】
句意:其中许多仍然有它们被涂上颜色的特征,包括黑色的头发、粉色的脸,以及黑色或棕色的眼睛。分析句子结构,设空处修饰名词短语“painted features”,应使用形容词性物主代词;提示词they的形容词性物主代词为their。
【39题详解】
句意:在找到一个士兵后,专家们用这种材料喷洒它。分析句子结构,soldier为可数名词单数,此处泛指“一个”士兵,且soldier以辅音音素开头,应使用不定冠词a。
【40题详解】
句意:他们认为不接触泥土很重要,这样颜色就不会丢失。分析句子结构,此处考查“consider it+adj.+to do sth.”句型,意为“认为做某事是……的”,it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式,其否定形式为not to do。
【41题详解】
句意:下一件具有挑战性的事情是找到一种方法,将颜色再次应用到这支军队上。分析句子结构,此处考查固定搭配“apply sth. to sth.”,意为“将某物应用/涂抹到某物上”,因此填介词to。
四、阅读与表达(共4小题,41-43小题,每小题2分;44小题4分,满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
CALL A FRIEND AND TALK
Last Sunday my best friend texted me to tell me that she was going to study abroad. I nearly cried. Just a text message? I sent her a short “congratulations” message with lots of emojis (表情符号). I tried to feel happy, but I didn’t. For me, words and symbols on a screen are not enough. If it’s important, we should talk.
Am I an old-fashioned girl? On the phone, you can hear whether a person is happy or sad, excited or disappointed. You can hear emotions. But maybe that’s exactly the problem. Maybe we are scared of people’s emotional reactions when we call them. Or perhaps we don’t want them to hear our true feelings.
We seem to be cheerful in the social media world. Or we are excited, or shocked. Or some other strong feelings that make us use lots (yes, lots!!!) of exclamation marks. That’s not real life. Some days are boring. Sometimes we might be in low spirits but a chat with a good friend on the phone would cheer us up. Try it! You don’t have to talk about how terrible you’ve been feeling. Just talk. If your friend takes time for you, you’ll feel so much better after talking to him or her. And friendship is about sharing true emotions, the negative ones and the positive ones.
Just relax yourself. You misunderstand your friend. A text message can’t be more convenient. You can send it anytime and anywhere.
It matters which way to choose. If the thing is important, a simple text message can’t show care between close friends. A warm call does, instead.
Perhaps the way out is not to choose one side, but to find a middle ground. Calls, messages and emojis — they’re there. Call me when you are free; text me when busy.
Day and night, my phone shows me messages from my boss, workmates and friends. Why don’t people call me? Anyway, I am totally on your side.
42. How did the writer feel when receiving the text message?
_____________________________________________________
43. Why do some people avoid calling according to the writer?
_____________________________________________________
44. What does the writer suggest doing in Paragraph 3?
_____________________________________________________
45. Do you prefer to call or text your friend? Why? (Give one reason in your own words. Write more than 30 words)
_____________________________________________________
【答案】42. She felt unhappy.
43. Because they are scared to show or hear true feelings./Because they are scared of people’s emotional reactions and don’t want others to hear their true feelings.
44. Making a call and sharing true feelings with your friend./She suggests a chat with a good friend on the phone and sharing true emotions (the negative ones and the positive ones).
45. I prefer to call my friend. Because I can hear their voice and feel their true emotions, which makes our communication warmer and closer. We can talk quickly and solve problems at once, which feels warmer than cold written texts./I prefer to text my friend. Texting lets me reply anytime without disturbing others. I can organize my words clearly and keep messages for later check. It works well when we are both busy.
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者对“文字消息”与“电话沟通”两种交流方式的看法,强调电话沟通能传递真实情绪,是更适合重要交流的方式,并附有网友评论。
【42题详解】
第一段指出“I tried to feel happy, but I didn’t.”可推知作者收到短信时感到不开心,根据原文信息作答即可。
【43题详解】
第二段指出“Maybe we are scared of people’s emotional reactions when we call them. Or perhaps we don’t want them to hear our true feelings.”可推知人们避免打电话是因为害怕展示或听到真实的情感。根据原文信息作答即可。

第三段指出“Sometimes we might be in low spirits but a chat with a good friend on the phone would cheer us up. Try it!”以及“And friendship is about sharing true emotions, the negative ones and the positive ones.”可推知作者建议给朋友打电话并分享真实情感。根据原文信息作答即可。
【45题详解】
本题为开放性试题,要求表达自己更喜欢打电话还是发短信,并给出理由,字数要求30词以上。言之有理即可。
