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?

【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)Joe and Arthur were twin brothers. Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. This silly argument about football teams happened almost every day, which annoyed their mother a lot.
One Saturday afternoon, the two boys were playing football with friends on an open space by the roadside, when a car suddenly turned a corner at high speed, hit the kerb, and knocked down four children, including the twins. Both were rushed to hospital. Arthur was only slightly hurt, but Joe took a heavy blow to the head and fell into unconsciousness.
After an uncomfortable night, Arthur was allowed to go home the next day. However, instead of resting, he went straight to Joe’s room. He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” Their mother took the item to the hospital and dressed Joe in the red pyjama.
The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. Suddenly, Joe’s face turned. He opened his eyes, looked at Arthur, and smiled weakly. “It’s only a game,” he whispered. “I’ll always love you, too.” The doctor arrived and, after a quick examination, announced that Joe was recovering.
A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.”
Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone.
24.(2.5分)What can we know about the twins?
A.They were young football players. B.They liked different football teams.
C.They were fond of the same color. D.They often argued with their mother.
25.(2.5分)Why did Arthur take Joe’s red pajama out?
A.To help Joe look after it. B.To make Joe more attractive.
C.To hide it away from Joe. D.To offer Joe moral support.
26.(2.5分)What happened to the twins after Joe returned home?
A.They started to live alone. B.They stopped playing football.
C.They watched matches together. D.They became friendlier to each other.
27.(2.5分)What does the story show?
A.Health is priceless. B.Time heals all wounds.
C.Family love matters most. D.There will be a turning point.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.D 27.C
【导语】文章主要讲述了一对双胞胎兄弟Joe和Arthur因支持不同足球队而经常争论,但在Joe遭遇车祸后,Arthur用爱与关怀唤醒了他,体现了兄弟情谊的重要性。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. (Joe认为红色——利物浦队的颜色——很棒,而早出生几秒的Arthur认为蓝色——埃弗顿队的颜色——要好得多。)”可知,这对双胞胎喜欢不同的足球队。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段中“He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” (他把Joe的红色睡衣裤从枕头底下拿出来。Arthur用颤抖的声音告诉母亲:“他会需要它的。这会让他好起来。我想让他回家。”)”和第四段中“The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. (第二天,Arthur回来了,穿着Joe的一件红衬衫。他坐在哥哥的床边,握着Joe的手,开始轻声唱《你永远不会独行》来叫醒哥哥,并说他再也不会争吵了。)”可知,Arthur拿出Joe的红色睡衣是为了给Joe精神上的支持。
26.推理判断题。根据第五段“A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.” (一周后,Joe完全康复了。有一天,在和父亲一起去看比赛之前,他收到了Arthur送的一枚利物浦队徽,Arthur祝愿他的球队好运。Joe挥手回应道:“谢谢。我也希望你今天支持的蓝色球队表现出色。你知道吗,你唱歌很好听。”)”可知,Joe回家后兄弟俩相互祝对方支持的球队好运,不再争论,说明他们对彼此更加友好了。
27.推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone. (他们的母亲从窗户里看到这一幕,感动得热泪盈眶。她知道这对双胞胎兄弟永远会彼此支持,因为他们永远不会独行。)”可知,文章通过讲述兄弟俩从为球队争吵到在危难时刻互相支持的故事,展现了家庭之爱的重要性。
(本题10分)As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders.
Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends.
By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others.
28.(2.5分)What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Birth order is the top factor influencing a person’s development.
B.Older siblings’ early leadership has nothing to do with their parents.
C.An older child may be unwilling to accept others’ opinions.
D.All elder brothers and sisters will turn into overbearing people eventually.
29.(2.5分)What might a younger child want to be according to the passage?
A.A librarian. B.A doctor. C.A writer. D.A teacher.
30.(2.5分)Why may later children become good sellers?
A.They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people.
B.They are very good at persuading others.
C.They have great wishes to develop leadership.
D.They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom.
31.(2.5分)What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest?
B.Birth Order and Marriage
C.The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success
D.Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality
【答案】28.C 29.C 30.B 31.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了出生顺序对个人性格的影响,包括长子长女和排行靠后的孩子各自的特点以及这些特点如何影响他们的职业选择。
【详解】28.推理判断题。根据第一段“The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders.(危险在于,如果年长的孩子将这种角色发挥到极致,他或她可能会成为一个专横的人,不听取别人的意见,因为他们认为自己是领导者。)”可知,年长的孩子如果将领导角色发挥到极致,可能会变得专横,不愿意听取他人意见。所以,我们可以推断出一个年长的孩子可能不愿意接受别人的意见。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing.(这可能有助于解释为什么年幼的孩子容易喜欢音乐、艺术和写作等工作。)”可知,年幼的孩子可能喜欢音乐、艺术和写作等工作,因此他们可能想成为一名作家。故选C项。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段“Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children.(排行靠后的孩子可能是很好的推销员,因为劝说可能是他们与年长孩子打交道的唯一工具。)”可知,排行靠后的孩子可能很擅长劝说别人,因此他们可能成为很好的推销员。故选B项。
31.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,文章主要讨论了出生顺序对个人性格的影响,包括长子长女和排行靠后的孩子各自的特点以及这些特点如何影响他们的职业选择。因此,最适合本文的标题是“Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality(出生顺序对个人性格的影响)”。故选D项。
(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。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段“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.( 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。

【答案】36.G 37.A 38.C 39.E 40.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是通过提供一些简单的步骤来帮助人们管理自己的钱财。作者强调了金钱管理对于生活中几乎所有事情的重要性,并提出了一些具体的建议,如跟踪支出、制定预算、保持预算正常运行、节省开支以及为意外支出储蓄等。通过这些步骤,人们可以更好地控制自己的财务状况,从而使得生活的其他方面也变得更加容易。
【详解】36.根据前文“Your money and how you manage it are some of the most important things in your life. They influence almost everything you do. (你的钱和如何管理它是你生活中最重要的一些事情。它们几乎影响你做的每一件事)”和后句“Here are some steps you can take. (下面有一些你可以采取的措施)”可知,管理钱很重要,接下来要介绍管理钱财的方法,可知管理钱财的方法也很重要。由此可知,G选项“Therefore, it is very important to manage your money properly.(因此,正确管理你的钱是非常重要的)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
37.根据后文“The first thing you need to do is know where your money is going. See what you are actually spending your money on. There will likely be a few surprises when you see the results of your tracking. You are probably spending more in some areas than you think. (你要做的第一件事就是知道你的钱都花到哪里去了。 看看你到底把钱花在了什么地方。当你看到你记录的结果时,可能会有一些惊喜。你在这些方面的花费可能比你想象的要多)可知,本段主要陈述记录自己的开支。所以选项A选项“Start tracking your spending.(开始记录你的支出)”符合语境。故选A。
38.根据前句“Set up a budget.(制定预算)”和后文“To manage your money properly and get ahead without money troubles, you need to spend less than you earn. You also need to record where your money comes from and when you receive it. Then, you are able to decide how much of your income(收入) is spent on bills and necessities. Plan how you will spend or save any remaining money. (为了妥善管理你的钱,使你在没有金钱问题的情况下获得成功,你需要开支小于收入。你还需要记录你的收入来源和何时收到它们。然后,你就可以确定你的收入有多少花在了账单和生活必需品上。计划你将如何花费或存下剩余的资金。)”可知,后文讲述的是要对今后的开支做一个规划。由此可知,C选项“If possible, work out a spending plan.(如果可能的话,制定一个支出计划)”符合上下文语境,都是对以后的规划。故选C。
39.本段的主题句“Keep your budget on track.(保持预算正常)”可知,要保持预算正常,结合上文“After tracking your spending for a month, you may see some areas where you can cut your spending.(在记录你一个月的开销之后,你可能会发现一些可以削减开支的地方)”可知,空处也陈述保持预算正常的方法。由此可知,E选项“Also you’d better review your budget every few months. (此外你最好每隔几个月回顾一下你的预算)”符合上下文语境,also表明与上文的并列关系,故选E。
40.根据前句“To get ahead, you need to save a percentage of your money.(为了能够省钱成功,你需要节省一定比例的钱。)”和后句“Once you get used to it, you may increase it to 20 percent or more.(一旦你习惯了,你可能会增加到20%或更多)”可知,为了能够省钱成功,你需要节省一定比例的钱,省钱的数额是由少到多的。由此可知,F选项“10 percent of your income is a good amount to start with.(你收入的10%对你来说是一个不错的数目)”建议了一个储存的比例,呼应下文20%,符合语境。故选F。

It is also difficult to balance their developing mental needs. They enter a strange middle ground — no longer a small child but not quite 60(1.5分) adult, having both a new desire for independence and a continued need for their parents’ love and support. They feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on 61(1.5分) (they) own. 62(1.5分) (Unfortunate), their parents do not always agree.

【答案】
56.heated 57.in 58.anxious 59.height 60.an 61.their 62.Unfortunately 63.to control 64.but 65.keeping
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了青少年和父母之间出现争吵和冷漠的沉默的原因。
【详解】56.考查形容词。句意:青少年和父母之间激烈的争吵和冷漠的沉默是很常见的。根据句意和所给单词heat以及空格后的名词arguments可知,空格处应该填入一个形容词作定语,修饰后面的名词arguments,且意义为“激烈的”。故填heated。
57.考查介词。句意:青少年的身体变化可能会导致这种家庭关系紧张。根据句意和空格前的动词result可知,此处是考查动词result和介词in的搭配result in“导致”。故填in。
58.考查形容词。句意:父母可能会成为青少年愤怒的第一个目标,因为当他们的成长速度与朋友不同、身高迅速上升或远远落后时,他们可能会感到焦虑,他们可能会担心自己的声音变化、体重问题或斑点。 根据句意和所给名词anxiety以及空格前的feel可知,空格处应该填入anxiety的形容词形式anxious作表语。故填anxious。
59.考查名词。句意:父母可能会成为青少年愤怒的第一个目标,因为当他们的成长速度与朋友不同、身高迅速上升或远远落后时,他们可能会感到焦虑,他们可能会担心自己的声音变化、体重问题或斑点。根据句意和所给形容词high以及空格前的介词in可知,空格处应该填入high的名词形式height作介词in的宾语。故填height。
60.考查冠词。句意:他们进入了一个奇怪的中间地带——不再是小孩子,但还不是完全的成年人,他们既渴望独立,又继续需要父母的爱和支持。根据句意和空格后的单数可数名词adult可知,空格处应该填入一个不定冠词a或an,表示泛指“一个”;因为adult的发音是元音音素开头,所以应该用an。故填an。
61.考查物主代词。句意:他们觉得自己准备好承担更大的责任,自己做决定。 根据句意和空格前的介词on以及空格后的own可知,此处是考查固定短语on one’s own“独立地”,所以空格处应该用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
62.考查副词。句意:不幸的是,他们的父母并不总是同意。根据句意和所给形容词unfortunate可知,空格处应该用unfortunate的副词形式unfortunately作状语,修饰后面的句子。故填Unfortunately。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:所以他们需要努力控制自己的感情,同时他们希望父母能更关心和耐心。根据句意和所给动词control以及空格前的struggle可知,此处是考查struggle的用法struggle to do something“努力做某事”,所以空格处应该填入不定式to control作动词struggle的宾语。故填to control。
64.考查连词。句意:然而,他们的父母把他们当成孩子,却希望他们表现得像个成年人。根据句意分析句子可知,句中的“treat them like a child”和“expect them to act like an adult”是并列关系,但意义上表示转折,所以空格处应该填入表转折的连词but。故填but。
65.考查非谓语动词。句意:保持和平的关键是定期和诚实的沟通。根据句意分析句子可知,空格前的to是介词,所以空格处应该填入keep的动名词形式keeping作介词to的宾语。故填keeping。

“Acknowledged, Detective. This is my...”
He hung up and told the driverless UNATS Robotics car to get him down to the railway station as fast as it could, angry with himself and with Ada—whose middle name was Trouble, after all—for making him deal with a robot before he’d had his breakfast. The name had been his ex-wife’s idea, something that she’d insisted on.
His ex-wife. He hadn’t thought of her in years. Well, months, weeks, certainly. She’d been a brilliant computer scientist at the UNATS Robotics school at the University of Toronto. Now she settled in her own research lab in Beijing, providing the kinds of software solutions for robot applications.
He itched to wiretap her, to read her email or listen in on her phone conversations. He could have done that when they were still together, but he never had. If he had, he would have found out what she was planning.
He could have talked her out of it.
“And then what, Artie?” said the nagging voice in his head. He couldn’t stop her from chasing her own dream—making the smartest robot in the world, especially with their little daughter in her belly.
“Shut up!”he told the nagging voice. Paragraph 1:
In a few minutes, he was at the front gate of the railway station.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
There she was, standing by a teenage girl who has the same blue eyes as his.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
In a few minutes, he was at the front gate of the railway station. Ada opened the door for him. He stepped out of the UNATS Robotics car hurriedly to catch the bullet train for Beijing, where his ex-wife, a top computer scientist lived. During the journey, he constantly considered how to persuade his ex-wife to quit her research, which could get her into trouble. Clearly, it was no easy task. She had chased her dream for ages. The train pulled in at the railway station. He began to look for his ex-wife who had promised to pick him up.
Paragraph 2:
There she was, standing by a teenage girl who has the same blue eyes as his. Artie walked up to them slowly. With so many words to say, he felt a knot in his throat. At last, he looked into their daughter’s eyes and said “Hi, my lovely girl!” His voice was trembling slightly. “Daddy! Mommy has told me everything. You don’t need to worry about us anymore. Yesterday, she worked out the smartest robot software successfully.” Artie turned to his ex-wife in disbelief. She nodded. “I could never achieve my dream without your support.” Artie hugged them both thinking to himself, “Never stop a dream-chaser!”
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了阿迪想要劝说说服前妻放弃她的研究,于是赶往她的实验室。

(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.

(本题10分)Joe and Arthur were twin brothers. Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. This silly argument about football teams happened almost every day, which annoyed their mother a lot.
One Saturday afternoon, the two boys were playing football with friends on an open space by the roadside, when a car suddenly turned a corner at high speed, hit the kerb, and knocked down four children, including the twins. Both were rushed to hospital. Arthur was only slightly hurt, but Joe took a heavy blow to the head and fell into unconsciousness.
After an uncomfortable night, Arthur was allowed to go home the next day. However, instead of resting, he went straight to Joe’s room. He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” Their mother took the item to the hospital and dressed Joe in the red pyjama.
The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. Suddenly, Joe’s face turned. He opened his eyes, looked at Arthur, and smiled weakly. “It’s only a game,” he whispered. “I’ll always love you, too.” The doctor arrived and, after a quick examination, announced that Joe was recovering.
A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.”
Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone.

(本题10分)As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders.
Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends.
By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others.
28.(2.5分)What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Birth order is the top factor influencing a person’s development.
B.Older siblings’ early leadership has nothing to do with their parents.
C.An older child may be unwilling to accept others’ opinions.
D.All elder brothers and sisters will turn into overbearing people eventually.
29.(2.5分)What might a younger child want to be according to the passage?
A.A librarian. B.A doctor. C.A writer. D.A teacher.
30.(2.5分)Why may later children become good sellers?
A.They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people.
B.They are very good at persuading others.
C.They have great wishes to develop leadership.
D.They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom.
31.(2.5分)What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest?
B.Birth Order and Marriage
C.The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success
D.Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality
(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

It’s common that there are 56(1.5分) (heat) arguments and cold silences between teenagers and their parents.

“Acknowledged, Detective. This is my...”
He hung up and told the driverless UNATS Robotics car to get him down to the railway station as fast as it could, angry with himself and with Ada—whose middle name was Trouble, after all—for making him deal with a robot before he’d had his breakfast. The name had been his ex-wife’s idea, something that she’d insisted on.
His ex-wife. He hadn’t thought of her in years. Well, months, weeks, certainly. She’d been a brilliant computer scientist at the UNATS Robotics school at the University of Toronto. Now she settled in her own research lab in Beijing, providing the kinds of software solutions for robot applications.
He itched to wiretap her, to read her email or listen in on her phone conversations. He could have done that when they were still together, but he never had. If he had, he would have found out what she was planning.
He could have talked her out of it.
“And then what, Artie?” said the nagging voice in his head. He couldn’t stop her from chasing her own dream—making the smartest robot in the world, especially with their little daughter in her belly.
“Shut up!”he told the nagging voice. Paragraph 1:
In a few minutes, he was at the front gate of the railway station.

Paragraph 2:
There she was, standing by a teenage girl who has the same blue eyes as his.
