二、阅读理解
(本题7.5分)Parcel lockers, also called smart lockers or package lockers, are secure, automated storage units in centralized locations. They are revolutionizing how goods can be delivered and received. People can pick up a package from a locker at a time that suits them, in a convenient location near their residence or workplace.
Yet for all their advantages, parcel lockers are still far from being widely adopted by online shoppers. Many consumers still opt to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don’t know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it.
Even though locker usage is still low, companies and government agencies hope more shoppers will try it as they learn about the benefits. Using parcel lockers can help reduce traffic from delivery vehicles and lower our carbon footprint, which is better for the Earth. So, why not give easyLocker a try?
An islandwide parcel collection network for your delivery and pick-up solutions.
How to use easyLocker?
·Select easyLocker as your delivery option.
·Wait for notification that your parcel is ready.
·Go to the selected easyLocker location.
·Enter your unique access code sent to you.
·Collect your parcel from the locker and go!
21.(2.5分)What keeps some shoppers from trying a parcel locker?
A.Inconvenient locations. B.Environmental concerns.
C.Inefficiency of delivery. D.Unawareness of its presence.
22.(2.5分)What must users of easyLockers do?
A.Collect their parcels within 24 hours.
B.Key in a unique access code to get parcels.
C.Leave the locker door open for the next user.
D.Inform the deliveryman of their home address.
23.(2.5分)Who are the targeted readers of the text?
A.Locker producers. B.Delivery personnel.
C.Online purchasers. D.Potential investors.
【答案】21.D 22.B 23.C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了包裹储物柜的优势、使用方法,以及目前尚未被网购消费者广泛采用的原因,并推广easyLocker这一包裹储物柜服务。
【详解】21.细节理解题。根据第二段“Many consumers still opt to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don’t know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it. (许多消费者仍选择让网购包裹直接送到家中,而不是使用包裹储物柜,仅仅是因为他们在下单时不知道这种配送选项,因此从未尝试过。)”可知,阻碍一些购物者尝试包裹储物柜的原因是不知道它的存在。故选D。
22.细节理解题。根据“How to use easyLocker?”部分的“Enter your unique access code sent to you. (输入发送给你的专属取件码。)”可知,easyLocker用户必须输入专属取件码才能取件。故选B。
23.推理判断题。文章围绕网购包裹的配送方式展开,介绍了包裹储物柜的优势、使用方法,并呼吁网购消费者尝试easyLocker,因此目标读者是网购消费者。故选C。
(本题10分)Like everybody else in America, I was looking for a side job that can make a few extra dollars, so I can afford my favorite things.
So I read all the articles about taking surveys (for pennies) or becoming a remote receptionist. I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bare dough (面团).
I leafed through one of my four copies of Infinite Jest, and an idea slowly formed. I could sell books. My books. No, not books I’ve actually written, but all of the hundreds of books I’ve compulsively purchased over the years and never quite gotten around to. Since all roads lead to Amazon, I requested permission to join Amazon Marketplace.
After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity.
But I forgot about all that when I discovered that my copy of Steve Martin’s 1977 masterpiece Cruel Shoes is worth $35.Should I hang onto it? It can only appreciate in value, right? What if Steve Martin dies? The price will go through the roof.
A year has gone by. I’ve added 10 books to the “sell” pile, and only after the kind of painful internal debate usually reserved for buying a new home. And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger, I felt ambivalent about letting it go. It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore. The mall is gone. And now the book is.
But each book reminds me that authors live forever through their work. Each book, too, reminds me of a younger me, and I don’t want to let that younger me go.
So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books.
24.(2.5分)Why did the author join Amazon Marketplace?
A.To get rid of boring daily life. B.To collect secondhand books.
C.To get some extra income. D.To sell the books he wrote.
25.(2.5分)What kind of person did the author use to be?
A.Someone thirsty for knowledge. B.Someone with unrealistic ideas.
C.Someone addicted to the Internet. D.Someone expert at doing business.
26.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “ambivalent” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Relieved. B.Hesitant. C.Pleased. D.Nervous.
27.(2.5分)Which word can best describe the author?
A.Greedy. B.Knowledgeable. C.Humorous. D.Considerate.
【答案】24.C 25.A 26.B 27.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者自己在亚马逊网站上出售自己收藏的旧书的经历。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was looking for a side job that can make a few extra dollars, so I can afford my favorite things.( 我在找一份能赚外快的兼职,这样我就能买得起我最喜欢的东西了。)”可知,作者加入亚马逊的目的是想通过卖书增加一些额外收入。故选C。
25.推理判断题。根据第四段“After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity.(过了一定的年龄,你会忘记曾经的自己。显然,我是一个善于思考的人。我的一部分希望我还是那个人,一个有求知欲的人。)”可推知,作者过去是一个渴求知识的人。故选A。
26.词义猜测题。根据第六段画线词前面的“And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger(尽管我有三本《枪手)”和后面的“ It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore.(那是一本书,我很喜欢。我喜欢回忆我第一次在商场书店买到这本书时的情景。)”可知,作者虽然有三本相同的书, 但是由于喜爱书,以及它带来的记忆,所以还是对是否卖掉这些书犹豫不决。故划线词与B选项“Hesitant. (犹豫的)”为同义词。故选B。
27.推理判断题。根据第二段中“I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bare dough (我甚至一度考虑送披萨,但我意识到,第一天晚上我就会被解雇,因为我从顾客的披萨上拿走了所有的香肠,只留下了面团。)”以及最后一段“So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books.(所以,无论你做什么,都不要买我的书。)”可推知,作者以幽默的口吻介绍了自己的兼职工作的想法,以及作者以幽默的口吻描述了自己与每本书之间的回忆和喜爱,请求顾客们不要买书,由此体现出作者是一个幽默的人。故选C。
(本题10分)Emojis (表情符号) feel harmless in daily chats, but inside workplace messages, they carry more weight than most people expect. A study from the University of Ottawa takes a closer look at this hidden effect.
Researchers created simple workplace messages. Some were positive, some neutral, and some negative. Then they added emojis or left them out completely. Participants read these messages and judged the sender. A sentence like “We have great new office chairs” could appear with a smiley face, an angry face, or no emoji at all.
The researchers found that people paid close attention to both the words and the emoji. Even a small mismatch between the two stood out immediately. Surprisingly, the safest option was the simplest one. Readers saw the sender of messages without emojis as capable (有能力的) and serious. Positive emojis did not hurt much, but they did not help much, either. If the message already sounded good, adding a smiley face did not improve the impression. Negative emojis, however, told a different story. One angry face was enough to drag down how capable the sender appeared. It colored the entire message, even if the sentence itself sounded fine.
The study found that people reacted strongly to mixed signals. Imagine reading a complaint with a cheerful emoji at the end. This mismatch creates confusion and that uncertainty weakens trust. Over time, it can even affect teamwork. Even when the emoji matches the message, negative ones still leave a bad impression.
So, should you stop using emojis at work? Not necessarily. But you should think before using them. A simple, clear message often does the job best. Positive emojis can work in light, friendly conversations. Negative emojis are risky and usually not worth it. Most importantly, focus on what you want to say. If your message is strong, it does not need decoration. If your message is unclear, an emoji will not fix it.
28.(2.5分)What were the participants asked to do in the study?
A.Interact with the senders. B.Create new messages.
C.Add some emojis. D.Make judgements.
29.(2.5分)According to the study, messages without emojis are probably considered ________.
A.boring B.less serious C.professional D.more unacceptable
30.(2.5分)Which of the following does the author agree with?
A.Your message matters most. B.You should avoid using any emoji.
C.Negative emojis are always valuable. D.Strong messages require decoration.
31.(2.5分)What is the best title for the text?
A.Should You Use Emojis at Work? B.Why Should Your Messages Be Clear?
C.The Hidden Danger of Workplace Emojis D.How to Improve Your Professional Image
【答案】28.D 29.C 30.A 31.A
【导语】主要介绍一项研究探讨职场信息中表情符号带来的隐性影响,并给出职场合理使用表情符号的相关建议。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Participants read these messages and judged the sender.(参与者阅读这些信息,并对信息发送者做出评价。)”可知,研究要求参与者对信息及发送者作出评判。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Readers saw the sender of messages without emojis as capable (有能力的) and serious. (读者认为不使用表情符号发信息的人有能力且态度严谨。)”可知,无表情符号的信息会被看作专业稳重的。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Most importantly, focus on what you want to say. If your message is strong, it does not need decoration. If your message is unclear, an emoji will not fix it.(最重要的是专注你想要表达的内容。表意有力的信息无需修饰,含糊的信息表情符号也无法弥补。)”可知,作者强调无论是否使用表情符号,信息本身的清晰度和表达力才是核心,由此可推断,作者认同“信息本身最重要”这一观点。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“So, should you stop using emojis at work? Not necessarily. But you should think before using them.(那么你应该在职场中停用表情符号吗?未必如此,但使用前要三思。)”可知,文章围绕职场中是否应该使用表情符号展开,先介绍相关研究结果,分析表情符号的不同影响,最后给出合理使用的建议,所以“Should You Use Emojis at Work?(在工作中应使用表情符号吗?)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。
(本题10分)At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.
Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking.
So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.
Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.
Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world.
Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful.
32.(2.5分)Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”?
A.It brings quick but shallow enjoyment.
B.It replaces deep thinking in daily life.
C.It helps people to avoid boredom.
D.It does harm to people’s health.
33.(2.5分)What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate?
A.Phone addiction is avoidable.
B.Self-reflection defines humans.
C.Being alone promotes learning.
D.Daydreaming is undervalued.
34.(2.5分)What does the default mode suggest?
A.Intentional effort brings new ideas.
B.Unfocused thinking fuels creativity.
C.Routines involve little brain activity.
D.Complex tasks require active minds.
35.(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Maintain Focus in the Digital Age
B.Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone
C.Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind
D.Explore the Benefit of Entertaining
【答案】32.A 33.D 34.B 35.C
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了如今人们闲暇时总沉迷刷手机,研究表明放空思绪益处良多,既能助力思考解题、提升学习能力,还能增进情感社交,值得多多尝试。

She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking.( 社会心理学教授埃琳·韦斯特盖特将这种无意识的滑屏行为比作“大脑糖果”——短暂的愉悦但缺乏意义。她补充道,人类的大部分成就都源于高阶思维。)”可知,埃琳·韦斯特盖特将无意识地浏览网络内容比作“大脑糖果”是因为它能带来快速但肤浅的愉悦感。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段“So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.( 所以,下次你有几分钟空闲时间时,把手机收起来,让思绪自由飘荡吧。很多人害怕无聊,但这种恐惧往往被夸大了。在 2022 年的一项研究中,人们预测独自静坐 20 分钟什么都不做会让他们讨厌这种经历,但事后他们表示比预期的还要更享受。据研究员库·穆拉马所说,能够进行思绪的自由飘荡——反思过往经历,考虑他人的观点——是人类独有的能力,能促进学习并有助于理解他人。)”可推知,2022 年的这项研究旨在证明白日梦未得到足够的重视。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.( 即使人们并非在积极思考,他们的大脑仍处于一种所谓的“默认模式”中,从而能够以新的方式将各种想法联系起来。这对于解决复杂问题尤其有帮助。)”可知,“默认模式”表明了不专注的思考有助于创造力的迸发。
35.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.( 在任何公交站或排队等候时,大多数人都会低头盯着手机屏幕不停地滑动。但研究表明,如果能克制住这种冲动,让思绪自由飘荡一下,可能会有诸多显著的益处。)”可知,全文围绕“mind wandering(思维漫游 / 走神)”展开,依次介绍了它在认知、解决问题、社交情感等方面的多重益处,核心观点是鼓励人们放下手机,让思维自由漫游,挖掘其潜在价值。选项 C“解锁你走神的力量”准确概括了文章的核心主题,适合作文章的标题。
(本题12.5分)Ways to build family traditions
You may have long-held traditions with your family, especially during the holiday season. From watching the Spring Festival Gala together to sharing moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Eve, these traditions can help you feel closer to the people you love. 36(2.5分) Here’s how to get started with fresh experiences.
Look back at your special times.
Make a list of the traditions your family already has. Ask the adults what traditions they remember from their childhoods. 37(2.5分) Their stories can show you how these traditions brought joy and connection to their childhood — and why they still matter today. These memories can also inspire you to create new traditions.
Brainstorm new ideas
Next, gather ideas from your family for new traditions. Have everyone suggest a new activity you could all enjoy together. It could be a special annual outing, a game night, or a simple movie night. Write every idea down. 38(2.5分)
39(2.5分)
Now it’s time to turn your idea into action. Start by finding the people in your family who love planning and bringing everyone together. Share your idea with them and ask for their help. Let them take on the tasks — like planning, cooking, or getting in touch with others. With their help, your idea can become a reality.
Keep the activity going
After trying a new activity, take time to reflect. Did everyone enjoy it? If it worked, do it again; if not, make it better and try once more. And it doesn’t have to stay the same. 40(2.5分) That’s how a new activity becomes a tradition — something that draws your family closer, year after year.
A.Old traditions are boring.
B.Get help from your family.
C.No idea is too big or too small.
D.Keep the same traditions every year.
E.It can grow and change to fit your family.
F.But why not add something new to enjoy together?
G.They might enjoy sharing their memories with you.
【答案】36.F 37.G 38.C 39.B 40.E
【导语】主要介绍创建家庭新传统的四种方法,回顾旧回忆、集思广益、寻求家人协助、长期坚持并灵活调整活动内容。
【详解】36.根据空前的“From watching the Spring Festival Gala together to sharing moon cakes on the Mid-autumn Eve, these traditions can help you feel closer to the people you love.(从一起看春晚到中秋前夜分食月饼,这些传统能让你和所爱之人更加亲密。)”以及空后的“Here’s how to get started with fresh experiences.(下面介绍开启全新家庭体验的方法。)”可知,前文讲述已有传统的好处,后文引出创造新传统的办法,空格需要转折提出增添新活动的建议。F选项“But why not add something new to enjoy together?(但是为什么不增添一些可以共同体验的新鲜事物呢?)”使用转折词But衔接前后,自然引出下文打造新家庭传统的内容,符合语境。
37.根据空前的“Ask the adults what traditions they remember from their childhoods.(问问家中长辈他们儿时记忆里的传统习俗。)”以及空后的“Their stories can show you how these traditions brought joy and connection to their childhood — and why they still matter today.(他们的故事会让你明白这些传统曾带给他们欢乐与羁绊,以及如今它们依旧重要的原因。)”可知,空格内容要衔接询问长辈与分享往事之间的逻辑。G选项“They might enjoy sharing their memories with you.(他们或许很乐意和你分享过往回忆)”句中They指代前文家中长辈,承接上文主动询问长辈的行为,引出后文长辈讲述故事的内容,符合语境。
38.根据空前的“Have everyone suggest a new activity you could all enjoy together. It could be a special annual outing, a game night, or a simple movie night. Write every idea down.(让每个人都提议一项全家能共同参与的新活动,可以是年度短途出游、游戏之夜或是简单的观影之夜,把所有想法都记录下来。)”可知,本段核心是收集所有人的创意,空格需要说明所有提议都值得记录,不分大小。C选项“No idea is too big or too small.(没有什么想法过于宏大或过于微小)”承接上文记录全部提议的做法,贴合集思广益的段落主旨,符合语境。
39.分析语篇可知,此处为本段小标题,和前文小标题“Look back at your special times.”、“Brainstorm new ideas”以及“Keep the activity going”的短句标题格式统一。根据空后的“Start by finding the people in your family who love planning and bringing everyone together. Share your idea with them and ask for their help. (先找到家里乐于策划、乐于召集家人的成员,把想法告诉他们并寻求帮助。)”可知,本段围绕向家人寻求协助展开。B选项“Get help from your family. (向你的家人寻求帮助)”简洁概括本段核心内容,适合作为本段小标题,符合语境。
40.根据空前的“And it doesn’t have to stay the same.(而且这项活动不必一成不变。)”以及空后的“That’s how a new activity becomes a tradition — something that draws your family closer, year after year.(这就是一项新活动演变成传统的过程——能逐年拉近家人距离的事物。)”可知,空格需要承接不必一成不变,说明活动可以随家庭情况调整变化。E选项“It can grow and change to fit your family. (它可以不断发展、调整,适配你们家庭的情况)”句中It指代前文家庭活动,呼应前文不必固定不变的观点,引出后文活动成长为传统的论述,符合语境。

56(1.5分) the energy crisis in the 1970s, Dutch researchers began to pay close attention to the country’s energy usage. In one suburb near Amsterdam, they found that some homeowners used 30 percent less energy than their neighbors, 57(1.5分) the homes were of similar size and getting electricity for the same price.
58(1.5分) researchers found out was that the houses were nearly identical (相同的) except for one feature: the location of the electrical meter. Some had one in the basement, 59(1.5分) others had the electrical meter (电能表) upstairs in the main hallway. 60(1.5分) you may guess, the homes with the meters located in the main hallway used less electricity. When their energy use was obvious and easy to track, people’s 61(1.5分) (involve) in monitoring it increased and people changed their behavior.
Every habit is initiated by a cue (暗示), and we are more likely to notice the very cues 62(1.5分) stand out. Unfortunately, the environments where we live and work often make it easy not to do certain actions 63(1.5分) there is no obvious cue to trigger (引发) the behavior. When the cues that spark a habit are subtle or 64(1.5分) (hide), they are easy to ignore.
Eventually, I took my own advice and redesigned my environment. I bought a large display bowl and placed it in the middle of the kitchen counter. The next time I bought apples, that was 65(1.5分) they went. Almost like magic, I began eating a few apples each day simply because they were obvious, facilitating the formation of a healthy eating habit rather than keeping them out of sight.

56.After 57.although/though 58.What 59.while 60.As 61.involvement 62.that 63.because/since/as 64.hidden 65.where
【导语】本文主要介绍了荷兰能源研究发现环境暗示能引导行为改变,并以厨房摆放苹果为例阐明让提示明显有助于好习惯的养成。
【详解】56.考查介词。句意:在20世纪70年代的能源危机之后,荷兰研究人员开始密切关注该国的能源使用情况。空处表示“在……之后”,应用介词after,句首单词首字母大写。
57.考查连词。句意:在阿姆斯特丹附近的一个郊区,他们发现一些房主的能源消耗比邻居少30%,尽管房屋大小相似且电价相同。空前“少用30%能源”与空后“房屋相似、电价相同”之间存在让步关系,应用though/although引导让步状语从句。
58.考查主语从句。句意:研究人员发现,这些房屋几乎完全相同,只有一个特征不同:电能表的位置。空处引导主语从句,并在从句中作found out的宾语,指物,应用连接代词what,句首单词首字母大写。

62.考查定语从句。句意:每个习惯都是由暗示引发的,我们更容易注意到那些突出的暗示。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词cues,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,且关系词前由the very修饰,只能用关系代词that。
63.考查状语从句。句意:不幸的是,我们生活和工作的环境往往因为没有明显的暗示来引发行为,使得人们轻易就不会去做某些事。空后“there is no obvious cue...”是前文“make it easy not to do certain actions”的原因,应用连词because / since / as引导原因状语从句。
64.考查形容词。句意:当引发习惯的暗示很微妙或被隐藏时,它们就容易被忽视。空处与subtle并列,作表语,应用hide的形容词形式hidden,意为“隐藏的”。

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。
Max arrived at an office, for his first interview. He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home.
While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.”
He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or the light before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places.
While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.”
When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly.
It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor.
Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything.
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。
It was Max’s turn to be interviewed.

After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. He went inside and passed his file to the interviewers. After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining?” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.”
After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.”

(本题7.5分)Parcel lockers, also called smart lockers or package lockers, are secure, automated storage units in centralized locations. They are revolutionizing how goods can be delivered and received. People can pick up a package from a locker at a time that suits them, in a convenient location near their residence or workplace.
Yet for all their advantages, parcel lockers are still far from being widely adopted by online shoppers. Many consumers still opt to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don’t know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it.
Even though locker usage is still low, companies and government agencies hope more shoppers will try it as they learn about the benefits. Using parcel lockers can help reduce traffic from delivery vehicles and lower our carbon footprint, which is better for the Earth. So, why not give easyLocker a try?

(本题10分)Like everybody else in America, I was looking for a side job that can make a few extra dollars, so I can afford my favorite things.
So I read all the articles about taking surveys (for pennies) or becoming a remote receptionist. I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bare dough (面团).
I leafed through one of my four copies of Infinite Jest, and an idea slowly formed. I could sell books. My books. No, not books I’ve actually written, but all of the hundreds of books I’ve compulsively purchased over the years and never quite gotten around to. Since all roads lead to Amazon, I requested permission to join Amazon Marketplace.
After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity.
But I forgot about all that when I discovered that my copy of Steve Martin’s 1977 masterpiece Cruel Shoes is worth $35.Should I hang onto it? It can only appreciate in value, right? What if Steve Martin dies? The price will go through the roof.
A year has gone by. I’ve added 10 books to the “sell” pile, and only after the kind of painful internal debate usually reserved for buying a new home. And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger, I felt ambivalent about letting it go. It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore. The mall is gone. And now the book is.
But each book reminds me that authors live forever through their work. Each book, too, reminds me of a younger me, and I don’t want to let that younger me go.
So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books.
24.(2.5分)Why did the author join Amazon Marketplace?
A.To get rid of boring daily life. B.To collect secondhand books.
C.To get some extra income. D.To sell the books he wrote.
25.(2.5分)What kind of person did the author use to be?
A.Someone thirsty for knowledge. B.Someone with unrealistic ideas.
C.Someone addicted to the Internet. D.Someone expert at doing business.
26.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “ambivalent” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Relieved. B.Hesitant. C.Pleased. D.Nervous.
27.(2.5分)Which word can best describe the author?
A.Greedy. B.Knowledgeable. C.Humorous. D.Considerate.
(本题10分)Emojis (表情符号) feel harmless in daily chats, but inside workplace messages, they carry more weight than most people expect. A study from the University of Ottawa takes a closer look at this hidden effect.
Researchers created simple workplace messages. Some were positive, some neutral, and some negative. Then they added emojis or left them out completely. Participants read these messages and judged the sender. A sentence like “We have great new office chairs” could appear with a smiley face, an angry face, or no emoji at all.
The researchers found that people paid close attention to both the words and the emoji. Even a small mismatch between the two stood out immediately. Surprisingly, the safest option was the simplest one. Readers saw the sender of messages without emojis as capable (有能力的) and serious. Positive emojis did not hurt much, but they did not help much, either. If the message already sounded good, adding a smiley face did not improve the impression. Negative emojis, however, told a different story. One angry face was enough to drag down how capable the sender appeared. It colored the entire message, even if the sentence itself sounded fine.
The study found that people reacted strongly to mixed signals. Imagine reading a complaint with a cheerful emoji at the end. This mismatch creates confusion and that uncertainty weakens trust. Over time, it can even affect teamwork. Even when the emoji matches the message, negative ones still leave a bad impression.
So, should you stop using emojis at work? Not necessarily. But you should think before using them. A simple, clear message often does the job best. Positive emojis can work in light, friendly conversations. Negative emojis are risky and usually not worth it. Most importantly, focus on what you want to say. If your message is strong, it does not need decoration. If your message is unclear, an emoji will not fix it.
28.(2.5分)What were the participants asked to do in the study?
A.Interact with the senders. B.Create new messages.
C.Add some emojis. D.Make judgements.
29.(2.5分)According to the study, messages without emojis are probably considered ________.
A.boring B.less serious C.professional D.more unacceptable
30.(2.5分)Which of the following does the author agree with?
A.Your message matters most. B.You should avoid using any emoji.
C.Negative emojis are always valuable. D.Strong messages require decoration.
31.(2.5分)What is the best title for the text?
A.Should You Use Emojis at Work? B.Why Should Your Messages Be Clear?
C.The Hidden Danger of Workplace Emojis D.How to Improve Your Professional Image
(本题10分)At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.
Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking.
So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.
Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.
Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world.
Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful.
32.(2.5分)Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”?
A.It brings quick but shallow enjoyment.
B.It replaces deep thinking in daily life.
C.It helps people to avoid boredom.
D.It does harm to people’s health.
33.(2.5分)What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate?
A.Phone addiction is avoidable.
B.Self-reflection defines humans.
C.Being alone promotes learning.
D.Daydreaming is undervalued.
34.(2.5分)What does the default mode suggest?
A.Intentional effort brings new ideas.
B.Unfocused thinking fuels creativity.
C.Routines involve little brain activity.
D.Complex tasks require active minds.
35.(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Maintain Focus in the Digital Age
B.Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone
C.Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind
D.Explore the Benefit of Entertaining

Make a list of the traditions your family already has.

Keep the activity going
After trying a new activity, take time to reflect. Did everyone enjoy it? If it worked, do it again; if not, make it better and try once more. And it doesn’t have to stay the same. 40(2.5分) That’s how a new activity becomes a tradition — something that draws your family closer, year after year.

56(1.5分) the energy crisis in the 1970s, Dutch researchers began to pay close attention to the country’s energy usage. In one suburb near Amsterdam, they found that some homeowners used 30 percent less energy than their neighbors, 57(1.5分) the homes were of similar size and getting electricity for the same price.
58(1.5分) researchers found out was that the houses were nearly identical (相同的) except for one feature: the location of the electrical meter. Some had one in the basement, 59(1.5分) others had the electrical meter (电能表) upstairs in the main hallway. 60(1.5分) you may guess, the homes with the meters located in the main hallway used less electricity. When their energy use was obvious and easy to track, people’s 61(1.5分) (involve) in monitoring it increased and people changed their behavior.
Every habit is initiated by a cue (暗示), and we are more likely to notice the very cues 62(1.5分) stand out. Unfortunately, the environments where we live and work often make it easy not to do certain actions 63(1.5分) there is no obvious cue to trigger (引发) the behavior. When the cues that spark a habit are subtle or 64(1.5分) (hide), they are easy to ignore.
Eventually, I took my own advice and redesigned my environment. I bought a large display bowl and placed it in the middle of the kitchen counter. The next time I bought apples, that was 65(1.5分) they went. Almost like magic, I began eating a few apples each day simply because they were obvious, facilitating the formation of a healthy eating habit rather than keeping them out of sight.

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。
Max arrived at an office, for his first interview. He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home.
While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.”
He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or the light before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places.
While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.”
When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly.
It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor.
Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything.
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。
It was Max’s turn to be interviewed.

After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents.
