(本题7.5分)MOTIVATION BOARD
“End a writing session mid-scene or even mid-paragraph. It gives you something to return to in your next writing session, so you aren’t starting from a blank page. Don’t be stubborn, get some rest and you’ll find you return to writing with fresh eyes.”
— Nicole Glove, author of The Starseekers
“Write wildly, and write what excites you. Of course, the market and its expectations will always be a consideration, but the writing process is joyful because your creativity is boundless. As with ‘don’t self-reject’, please don’t ‘self-limit’. Everything else is already trying to do that to you.”
— Hien Nguyen, author of Twin Tides
“Read widely and thoughtfully. As a writer, you are asking complete strangers to spend hours of their time in the world of your stories. Engaging with other authors’ work is crucial to learning how to make your stories as convincing and well-fulfilled as possible.”
— Vanessa Lawrence, author of Sheer
“Don’t try to force your will on a book before you know what it is — or what it needs. Writing is a kind of trust exercise: you do the work, you show up again and again, and over time the story begins to meet you. And listen to your obsessions (痴迷的事物). Whatever you can’t stop thinking about — that’s your compass.”
— Paula McLain, author of Skylark

(本题10分)My first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. As I walked up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself.
A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly. All the while he moved his body to the music. His desk mate Josh couldn’t understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr. Brown, “I don’t want to sit with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please?”
Mr. Brown didn’t answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids have little self-control. They seem to do things that are beyond everyone else’s understanding. However, they can do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they should be loved.
Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track.
24.(2.5分)How did the author feel when seeing his table?
A.Annoyed. B.Upset.
C.Excited. D.Unhappy.
25.(2.5分)What did Mr. Brown do in the class first?
A.He introduced Tony.
B.He showed some pictures.
C.He got his computer ready.
D.He explained the classroom rules.
26.(2.5分)In what way was Tony special?
A.He acted politely.
B.He was understanding.
C.He knew music very well.
D.He had a mathematical mind.
27.(2.5分)What does the author think of Mr. Brown?
A.He is off the right track.
B.He has too many admirers.
C.He is a great teacher.
D.He is too different to be loved.
(本题10分)You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见).
The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point.
Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics.
The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive (认知的) effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should.
Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making.
28.(2.5分)What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.A real bargain. B.A free item. C.An identical product. D.An unexpected gift.
29.(2.5分)Why is the second-hand vehicle deal mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To explain a rule. B.To present a fact.
C.To illustrate a concept. D.To make a comparison.
30.(2.5分)What is the cause of the anchoring bias?
A.Reference point loss. B.Independent analysis.
C.Brain’s energy-saving nature. D.Brain’s heavy burden.
31.(2.5分)What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias?
A.Ignoring its reasons. B.Weighing various choices.
C.Seeking its impacts. D.Interrupting subconscious thoughts.
(本题10分)In modern society, sitting for long hours has become the norm for many people — whether at a desk, in a car, or on a sofa. However, a growing body of research suggests that prolonged sitting is harmful to health, even for those who exercise regularly. A 2021 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that sitting for more than eight hours a day without physical activity increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and early death by up to 60%.
But what if you have a desk job? Experts say small changes can make a big difference. Dr. Emily Carter, a public health researcher, recommends the “5-minute break rule”: after every 30 minutes of sitting, stand up and move for at least 2 to 5 minutes. Simple activities like walking to get water, stretching, or climbing stairs can help restore blood flow and reduce muscle stiffness.
Another effective strategy is using a standing desk. A study from the University of Leicester followed 1,200 office workers for one year. Half of them used adjustable standing desks, while the other half remained seated. The results showed that those using standing desks reported 45% less back and neck pain. Moreover, their energy levels improved significantly by the afternoon.
Interestingly, even fidgeting — small movements like tapping your feet or shifting in your chair — can help. A 2019 study from the University of Missouri found that people who fidgeted while sitting had healthier blood flow in their legs compared to those who sat completely still.
The message is clear: our bodies are designed to move, not to remain fixed in one position for hours. As Dr. Carter puts it, “Every small movement counts. The worst sitting position is your next one — so keep changing it.”
32.(2.5分)What does the 2021 study reveal about prolonged sitting?
A.It is harmless for people who exercise daily.
B.It increases the risk of several health problems.
C.It only affects people with desk jobs.
D.It improves blood flow in the legs.
33.(2.5分)What is the “5-minute break rule” suggested by Dr. Carter?
A.Take a 5-minute nap every 30 minutes.
B.Move for 2-5 minutes after every 30 minutes of sitting.
C.Stand for 5 minutes every hour.
D.Exercise for 30 minutes after 5 hours of sitting.
34.(2.5分)What benefit did standing desk users report in the University of Leicester study?
A.Better eyesight.
B.Lower risk of diabetes.
C.Less back and neck pain.
D.Faster walking speed.
35.(2.5分)What does the author imply by saying “The worst sitting position is your next one”?
A.People should find the perfect sitting posture.
B.Staying in any position for too long is harmful.
C.Sitting is better than standing.
D.Only the first sitting position matters.
(本题12.5分)Ways You Can Help Protect Wildlife
Wildlife is important to keeping ecological balance, and a world where it exists only in history books and on dinner plates is not one we should desire. Protecting wildlife is not just the responsibility of conservationists, it’s a shared duty. 36(2.5分)
Volunteer for Wildlife Protection Projects
Giving your time to wildlife conservation efforts can make a tangible difference. Many organizations offer opportunities to participate in animal rescue and conservation research. Whether it’s helping at local organizations or helping with global conservation efforts, your hands-on support can aid in protecting vulnerable (易受伤害的) species from being extinct.
Reduce Plastic Waste
Plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats to wildlife, particularly marine animals. 37(2.5分) You can help by reducing your use of single-use plastics, opting for reusable bags and bottles, and properly disposing of plastic waste. Supporting brands that use sustainable packaging also contributes to reducing plastic waste in our environment.
Support Wildlife-Friendly Businesses
38(2.5分) Choosing eco-friendly products and supporting businesses that prioritize (优先考虑) sustainable practices help protect wildlife habitats. Your buying choices can drive companies toward more sustainable operations. Beyond buying, you can equally empower yourself to start producing.
39(2.5分)
Raising awareness is a powerful tool for change. By sharing information about wildlife conservation on social media, you help educate others about the importance of protecting our planet’s biodiversity. Whether it’s posting articles, supporting campaigns, or engaging in discussions, spreading the word encourages more people to take action.
Protecting wildlife is not just about large-scale efforts. 40(2.5分) There is no planet B — let’s ensure that future generations live in a world rich in biodiversity and thriving ecosystems.
A.It starts with small, everyday actions.
B.Spread awareness about endangered species.
C.Share conservation messages with your friends.
D.Every voice matters in the fight to save animals from extinction.
E.Birds, turtles, and fish often mistake plastic for food, leading to serious consequences.
F.Here are several ways you can contribute to safeguarding wildlife and ensuring a sustainable future for our planet.
G.Every buy we make has an impact.

(本题15分)One winter evening last week, as I was driving home, the “terrible” Tire (轮胎) Pressure Monitoring system light appeared.

The next morning, I 44 to the tire shop when it opened. As they were working on other cars that had a(n) 45 , my car went to the bottom of the 46 . Though I didn’t make an appointment in advance, the mechanics prioritized (优先) my car after completing ongoing repairs. As it 47 , it really was a tire sensor that had gone bad. That meant longer waiting hours. So I decided to get my 48 in, and I walked home.
When I walked back after the work was 49 , I stopped at a store to 50 two large bags of Ghirardelli chocolates. One for the automotive staff, as this is not the first time that I’ve come without an appointment. They are so 51 ! The other bag was for the library staff, my next stop. I 52 know what book titles I want to read, so I often ask the library staff for 53 . They always take the time to suggest great books. Then I go online and 54 the books instead of browsing (浏览) the shelves. I do thank the staff; every once in a while, a chocolate 55 is in order, and this was one of those times. It’s a win-win for all.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)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。
In a new school filled with unfamiliar faces, Charlie felt like a fish out of water. The lively chatter of students around him only fueled his loneliness. Every day, he walked through the hallways feeling invisible and trapped in uncertainty. To escape this loneliness, Charlie turned to video games, where he became a hero battling monsters and saving kingdoms. In this digital world, he felt powerful and important, unlike his quiet life at school.
Ms. Rita, his literature teacher, noticed the quiet boy at the back of the classroom, often lost in his thoughts. She had a gift for connecting with her students, always offering kind words or warm smiles. Although she encouraged Charlie to share his feelings, he hid his struggles, preferring the company of imaginary friends in his games, where he found the appreciation that was missing in his real life.
Recently, Charlie became hooked on a new game. One Sunday evening, he immersed himself in its colorful world, ignoring his mother’s reminders to sleep. Excited by his adventures, he remained awake, thinking about strategies, which left him anxious and tired for school.
The next day, unable to resist the temptation, Charlie secretly packed his gaming machine in his backpack. In Ms. Rita’s class, his heart raced, not from the lesson on poetry, but from the thought of playing during breaks. While other students engaged in discussions about finding something valuable in life, Charlie’s mind was focused on the game hidden in his bag.
When the discussion opened up, he took the chance to peek at his gaming machine. As he powered it on, the screen flashed with new quests, and he lost track of his surroundings. Unfortunately, just as he was concentrating, the gaming machine slipped from his hands and crashed to the floor with a loud sound. Silence enveloped the classroom, and all eyes turned towards him, the weight of anxiety and tension heavy in the air.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
However, Ms. Rita picked up the fallen gaming machine with her usual warm smile.

Paragraph 2
Grateful while guilty, Charlie approached Ms. Rita’s office after school.

20.(1.5分)What is helpful in achieving difficult goals according to Victor?
A.Gaining social support.
B.Focusing on broad goals.
C.Keeping the goals private.
【答案】17.B 18.A 19.B 20.A
【原文】
To stay committed to your goals, try these strategies, Forbes, a Stanford professor, suggests starting with small, manageable habits. For example, practice an instrument for 30 seconds a day, or wash your hands before meals. These actions, though small, are more effective than goals like eating healthy food or getting fit, which can be hard to achieve without specific steps.
Another tip is to track your progress with a Scorecard. This could mean recording how far you run or how much time you spend studying a language. Besides, he advises keeping your goals to yourself. Announcing them implies a sense of completion. It might mean that you’re less likely to follow through. However, Victor, a New York University professor, opposed that. He thought you should tell your friends or family members. He added that having social support helps people achieve difficult goals. You could ask friends to remind you when you achieve a goal, you should throw a party to celebrate it with them.
二、阅读理解
(本题7.5分)MOTIVATION BOARD
“End a writing session mid-scene or even mid-paragraph. It gives you something to return to in your next writing session, so you aren’t starting from a blank page. Don’t be stubborn, get some rest and you’ll find you return to writing with fresh eyes.”
— Nicole Glove, author of The Starseekers
“Write wildly, and write what excites you. Of course, the market and its expectations will always be a consideration, but the writing process is joyful because your creativity is boundless. As with ‘don’t self-reject’, please don’t ‘self-limit’. Everything else is already trying to do that to you.”
— Hien Nguyen, author of Twin Tides
“Read widely and thoughtfully. As a writer, you are asking complete strangers to spend hours of their time in the world of your stories. Engaging with other authors’ work is crucial to learning how to make your stories as convincing and well-fulfilled as possible.”
— Vanessa Lawrence, author of Sheer
“Don’t try to force your will on a book before you know what it is — or what it needs. Writing is a kind of trust exercise: you do the work, you show up again and again, and over time the story begins to meet you. And listen to your obsessions (痴迷的事物). Whatever you can’t stop thinking about — that’s your compass.”
— Paula McLain, author of Skylark

(本题10分)My first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. As I walked up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself.
A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly. All the while he moved his body to the music. His desk mate Josh couldn’t understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr. Brown, “I don’t want to sit with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please?”
Mr. Brown didn’t answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids have little self-control. They seem to do things that are beyond everyone else’s understanding. However, they can do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they should be loved.
Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track.
24.(2.5分)How did the author feel when seeing his table?

【答案】24.C 25.D 26.C 27.C
【导语】本文讲述了作者高中第一天的难忘经历。面对患有自闭症同学的异常举动,布朗老师通过展示图片和讲解,引导学生理解并关爱特殊群体,这让作者对老师肃然起敬。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段中“As I walked up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself. (走到我的桌子前,我的心在歌唱。“坐在那里太棒了,我可以轻易地看到一切,”我心里想。)”可知,作者看到自己的桌子位置很好,内心感到非常高兴和激动。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中“And then Mr. Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. (然后布朗老师开始讲话。他向我们展示了他的课堂规则,并试图解释它们。)”可知,布朗老师在课堂上首先做的是解释课堂规则。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” (然后他告诉我们托尼不擅长数学,但热爱唱歌。“他能唱几千首歌。更令人惊讶的是,他能毫无错误地记住所有的歌词。”)”可知,托尼的特殊之处在于他非常了解音乐,拥有惊人的记忆力。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track. (从高中第一天起,我就成了布朗老师的崇拜者。我很确定布朗老师会让我们所有人都走上正轨。)”可推断,作者认为布朗老师是一位能够正确引导学生、值得敬佩的好老师。
(本题10分)You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见).
The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point.
Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics.
The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive (认知的) effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should.
Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making.
28.(2.5分)What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.A real bargain. B.A free item. C.An identical product. D.An unexpected gift.
29.(2.5分)Why is the second-hand vehicle deal mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To explain a rule. B.To present a fact.
C.To illustrate a concept. D.To make a comparison.
30.(2.5分)What is the cause of the anchoring bias?
A.Reference point loss. B.Independent analysis.
C.Brain’s energy-saving nature. D.Brain’s heavy burden.
31.(2.5分)What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias?
A.Ignoring its reasons. B.Weighing various choices.
C.Seeking its impacts. D.Interrupting subconscious thoughts.
【答案】28.A 29.C 30.C 31.B
【导语】主要介绍心理学中的锚定偏见概念、生活表现、形成原因,以及人们可以采取的应对方法与改进策略。
【详解】28.词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal.(你立刻认为它极其昂贵并转身离开。当天晚些时候,你发现一件一模一样的外套售价650美元,你立刻觉得自己捡到了天大的便宜。)”可知,对比一千八百美元的原价,六百五十美元的同款外套价格十分优惠,因此“an incredible steal”指代物美价廉的划算交易。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value.(如果卖家以高价开价,这个数字就会成为你的心理锚点。即便你把价格谈低了很多,相较于最初的价格,你依旧会认为最终交易很划算,忽略了汽车真实的市场价值。)”可知,作者列举二手车议价的例子,是为了具体阐释锚定偏见这一抽象概念。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive (认知的) effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis.(这种偏见之所以存在,是因为人类大脑会本能节省脑力。重新估算价值需要耗费大量认知精力,因此我们会下意识依靠最先出现的参照标准,而非开展完全独立的分析。)”可知,锚定偏见产生的根源是大脑节省脑力的本能特性。
31.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making.(然而,一种有据可依且简单直接的对抗锚定偏见的策略是,找出该锚定值不适用于当下情形的各类理由。与此同时,多考量几种备选方案始终是助力决策的好办法。)”可知,权衡、考量多种选择是应对锚定偏见的有效方式。
(本题10分)In modern society, sitting for long hours has become the norm for many people — whether at a desk, in a car, or on a sofa. However, a growing body of research suggests that prolonged sitting is harmful to health, even for those who exercise regularly. A 2021 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that sitting for more than eight hours a day without physical activity increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and early death by up to 60%.
But what if you have a desk job? Experts say small changes can make a big difference. Dr. Emily Carter, a public health researcher, recommends the “5-minute break rule”: after every 30 minutes of sitting, stand up and move for at least 2 to 5 minutes. Simple activities like walking to get water, stretching, or climbing stairs can help restore blood flow and reduce muscle stiffness.
Another effective strategy is using a standing desk. A study from the University of Leicester followed 1,200 office workers for one year. Half of them used adjustable standing desks, while the other half remained seated. The results showed that those using standing desks reported 45% less back and neck pain. Moreover, their energy levels improved significantly by the afternoon.
Interestingly, even fidgeting — small movements like tapping your feet or shifting in your chair — can help. A 2019 study from the University of Missouri found that people who fidgeted while sitting had healthier blood flow in their legs compared to those who sat completely still.
The message is clear: our bodies are designed to move, not to remain fixed in one position for hours. As Dr. Carter puts it, “Every small movement counts. The worst sitting position is your next one — so keep changing it.”
32.(2.5分)What does the 2021 study reveal about prolonged sitting?
A.It is harmless for people who exercise daily.
B.It increases the risk of several health problems.
C.It only affects people with desk jobs.
D.It improves blood flow in the legs.
33.(2.5分)What is the “5-minute break rule” suggested by Dr. Carter?
A.Take a 5-minute nap every 30 minutes.
B.Move for 2-5 minutes after every 30 minutes of sitting.
C.Stand for 5 minutes every hour.
D.Exercise for 30 minutes after 5 hours of sitting.
34.(2.5分)What benefit did standing desk users report in the University of Leicester study?
A.Better eyesight.
B.Lower risk of diabetes.
C.Less back and neck pain.
D.Faster walking speed.
35.(2.5分)What does the author imply by saying “The worst sitting position is your next one”?
A.People should find the perfect sitting posture.
B.Staying in any position for too long is harmful.
C.Sitting is better than standing.
D.Only the first sitting position matters.
【答案】32.B 33.B 34.C 35.B
【导语】本文介绍久坐已成为现代社会普遍现象,结合多项研究指出久坐的健康危害,并给出短时活动、使用升降办公桌、轻微小动作等科学可行的改善办法。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第一段“A 2021 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that sitting for more than eight hours a day without physical activity increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and early death by up to 60%.(一项二零二一年发表于《英国运动医学杂志》的研究发现,每日久坐超八小时且缺乏运动,会使心脏病、糖尿病及早逝的风险最高增加百分之六十。)”可知,长期久坐会提升多种健康问题的患病风险。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Emily Carter, a public health researcher, recommends the “5-minute break rule”: after every 30 minutes of sitting, stand up and move for at least 2 to 5 minutes.(公共卫生研究员埃米莉・卡特博士提出“五分钟休息法则”:每久坐三十分钟,就起身活动至少二至五分钟。)”可知,每坐30分钟后移动2-5分钟。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed that those using standing desks reported 45% less back and neck pain.(结果显示,使用升降办公桌的人群腰背与颈部疼痛问题减少百分之四十五。)”可知,升降办公桌能减轻背部和颈部疼痛。
35.推理判断题。结合末段“The message is clear: our bodies are designed to move, not to remain fixed in one position for hours. As Dr. Carter puts it, “Every small movement counts. The worst sitting position is your next one — so keep changing it.”(信息很明确:我们的身体是为了运动而设计的,而不是在一个位置上固定几个小时。正如卡特博士所说,“每一个小动作都很重要。最糟糕的坐姿是你的下一个坐姿,所以要不断改变。”)”可知,这句话意在表明无论何种姿势,长期保持不变都会损害健康。

【答案】
56.exciting 57.difference 58.in 59.or 60.starts 61.pictures 62.naturally 63.who/that 64.stricter/more strict 65.to help
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何缓解上高中的紧张与害怕情绪。
【详解】56.考查形容词。句意:上高中既令人兴奋又令人害怕。根据“both...and...”连接两个并列的形容词以及空后“scary”可知,空处需用形容词exciting“令人兴奋的”,作表语,描述上高中这件事的令人兴奋的性质。故填exciting。
57.考查名词。句意:知道如何放松可以产生很大的影响。根据空前“a big”可知,空处需用名词difference,make a big difference“产生很大影响”,固定短语。故填difference。
58.考查介词。句意:记住,你的新同学也很紧张。keep in mind“记住”,固定短语。故填in。
59.考查连词。句意:你也可以和父母或朋友交谈。either...or...“或者……或者……”,固定短语,表示两者之间的选择关系。故填or。
60.考查动词时态。句意:学校开学前,学校的网站可以帮助你熟悉新的学校环境。before引导时间状语从句,主句用一般现在时,从句也用一般现在时,主语school是第三人称单数,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填starts。
61.考查名词的复数形式。句意:寻找你的新校园的地图,学校活动的信息,以及你新老师的照片。根据空后“of your new teachers”可知,空处需用名词picture“照片”的复数形式,表示多张照片。故填pictures。
62.考查副词。句意:和新朋友交谈可能很困难,尤其是如果你天生害羞的话。根据空后形容词shy可知,空处需用副词naturally“天生地”修饰形容词shy作状语。故填naturally。
63.考查定语从句。句意:试着和坐在你旁边的人交谈。空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是person,指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词who/that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
64.考查形容词比较级。句意:高中老师可能比初中老师更严格。根据空后“than middle school teachers”可知,空处需用形容词strict“严格的”的比较级stricter(更正式),或者more strict,表示高中老师比初中老师更严格。故填stricter/more strict。
65.考查动词不定式。句意:但请记住,你的老师在那里是为了帮助你,所以尽量不要害怕他们。空处需用动词help“帮助”的不定式形式作目的状语,表示老师在那里是为了帮助学生。故填to help。

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)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。
In a new school filled with unfamiliar faces, Charlie felt like a fish out of water. The lively chatter of students around him only fueled his loneliness. Every day, he walked through the hallways feeling invisible and trapped in uncertainty. To escape this loneliness, Charlie turned to video games, where he became a hero battling monsters and saving kingdoms. In this digital world, he felt powerful and important, unlike his quiet life at school.
Ms. Rita, his literature teacher, noticed the quiet boy at the back of the classroom, often lost in his thoughts. She had a gift for connecting with her students, always offering kind words or warm smiles. Although she encouraged Charlie to share his feelings, he hid his struggles, preferring the company of imaginary friends in his games, where he found the appreciation that was missing in his real life.
Recently, Charlie became hooked on a new game. One Sunday evening, he immersed himself in its colorful world, ignoring his mother’s reminders to sleep. Excited by his adventures, he remained awake, thinking about strategies, which left him anxious and tired for school.
The next day, unable to resist the temptation, Charlie secretly packed his gaming machine in his backpack. In Ms. Rita’s class, his heart raced, not from the lesson on poetry, but from the thought of playing during breaks. While other students engaged in discussions about finding something valuable in life, Charlie’s mind was focused on the game hidden in his bag.
When the discussion opened up, he took the chance to peek at his gaming machine. As he powered it on, the screen flashed with new quests, and he lost track of his surroundings. Unfortunately, just as he was concentrating, the gaming machine slipped from his hands and crashed to the floor with a loud sound. Silence enveloped the classroom, and all eyes turned towards him, the weight of anxiety and tension heavy in the air.

Paragraph 2
Grateful while guilty, Charlie approached Ms. Rita’s office after school.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1
However, Ms. Rita picked up the fallen gaming machine with her usual warm smile. Instead of blaming or criticizing Charlie, she playfully joked that he was the first student to uncover something really “valuable” from the poem they had just discussed. She urged the other students to work on their search for valuable things in life, adding that every perspective mattered. Her unexpected joke transformed the moment, and laughter erupted in the classroom, saving Charlie from embarrassment and easing his anxiety. In that instant, his heart began to lighten, feeling warmth instead of shame.Paragraph 2
Grateful while guilty, Charlie approached Ms. Rita’s office after school. He expressed his thanks for her forgiveness while admitting to his distraction during class. He recognized the need to balance his passion for gaming and study. Ms. Rita listened attentively, and returned his console with a smile. She encouraged him to join the school’s e-sports club, suggesting that combining his interest with social involvement help him connect with others. In that moment, Ms. Rita’s forgiveness and understanding melted his heart, inspiring him to embrace both his passion and the journey of building new friendships.
