It was an ordinary day when I got a message from my daughter’s kindergarten about an upcoming school dance performance. At first, I thought, “How wonderful, I can’t wait to see her perform!” But to my amazement, I discovered it wasn’t just the kids, but parents were expected to join as well. “Oh, that’s terrible. I’m short of rhythm and have stage fright. How could I take part in it?”
That evening my idea was destroyed as my daughter came home excitedly, “Dad, this is going to be fun. We should wear matching pink T-shirts and stand at the front so everyone can see us.” And so, we began with practice in front of the television. My wife had luckily found a past performance online. At this point, I realised our performance would also end up online and any mistake could finally be turned into a joke. The stress had now been increased. The first at-home practice went as badly as you could imagine. And fast forward to Saturday and it was time for a group practice at school. Given the short notice, I expected the other parents to be struggling as much as me. I was wrong. They moved very well.
In the days to come we worked very hard and both our confidence and coordination improved quickly. My daughter moved like a swan, while I still moved like an elephant. The day of the big show arrived and my nervousness became less. It turns out that getting nowhere near enough sleep before a big performance is the perfect cure for stage fright. Moreover, my daughter was having the time of her life and that alone powered me.
Reflecting on the past two weeks, I realized this experience had enriched us both. It marked the first time my daughter and I learned something new together. I find myself looking forward to similar events like this in the future.

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Oh, that’s terrible. I’m short of rhythm and have stage fright.

C
A study explores how changes in an individual’s mental health influence their body weight over time. What they found was that increases in symptoms of depression are associated with a subsequent increase in body weight when measured one month later.
The researchers were from Cambridge’s Medical Research Council (MRC) Epidemiology Unit. They examined data from over 2,000 adults living in Cambridgeshire, UK. In the study, participants completed digital questionnaires on mental wellbeing and body weight every month for up to nine months using a mobile app developed by a healthcare company. The researchers assessed an individual’s symptoms of depression, anxiety and perceived stress.
A higher score indicated greater severity, with the maximum possible scores being 24 for depression, 21 for anxiety and 40 for stress. The team then used statistical modelling to explore whether having poorer mental wellbeing than usual was related to changes in body weight one month later.
The effect was only observed in those individuals with overweight (defined as BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2) or with obesity (BMI over 30 kg/m2). Individuals with overweight had on average an increase of 52 grams for each one point increase from their usual depressive symptoms score. For those with obesity the comparable weight gain was 71 grams. The effect was not seen in those individuals with a healthy weight.
First author Dr Julia Mueller from the MRC Epidemiology Unit said, “Overall, this suggests that individuals with overweight or obesity are more vulnerable (脆弱的) to weight gain in response to feeling more depressed. Although the weight gain was relatively small, even small weight changes occurring over short periods of time can lead to larger weight changes in the long-term, particularly among those with overweight and obesity.”
Monitoring and addressing depressive symptoms in individuals with overweight or obesity can help prevent further weight gain and be beneficial to both their mental and physical health. Previous studies have suggested that poor mental health is both a cause and consequence of obesity. But this research found no evidence that weight predicted subsequent symptoms of depression.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Being fat makes people stressed out.
B. Feeling depressed can cause weight gain.
C. It’s unnecessary to worry about putting on weight.
D. There is a link between job changes and higher weight.
9. What were the participants asked to do?
A. Report their conditions regularly.
B. Develop a mobile app together.
C. Exercise on end for nine months.
D. Assess their symptoms of depression.
10. What is mainly presented in paragraph 4?
A. Systematic analyses.
B. Statistical methods.
C. Specific results.
D. Practical examples.
11. Which of the following might Julia Mueller agree with?
A. People having a high BMI should avoid getting depressed.
B. Overweight and obesity should be dealt with in no time.
C. Individuals with overweight are more likely to feel depressed.
D. Small weight changes occurring over short periods don’t matter.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍一项研究,该研究探究心理健康变化对体重的影响,发现抑郁症状加重会使超重或肥胖人群后续体重上升。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A study explores how changes in an individual’s mental health influence their body weight over time. What they found was that increases in symptoms of depression are associated with a subsequent increase in body weight when measured one month later. (一项研究探究个人心理健康的变化如何随时间影响体重。研究发现,抑郁症状加重,与一个月后测得的体重增加相关。)”可知,感到抑郁会造成体重增加。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the study, participants completed digital questionnaires on mental wellbeing and body weight every month for up to nine months using a mobile app developed by a healthcare company. (在这项研究中,参与者使用一家医疗保健公司开发的移动应用,在长达九个月的时间里每月填写关于心理健康状况和体重的电子问卷。)”可知,参与者被要求定期上报自身状况。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The effect was only observed in those individuals with overweight (defined as BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2) or with obesity (BMI over 30 kg/m2). Individuals with overweight had on average an increase of 52 grams for each one point increase from their usual depressive symptoms score. For those with obesity the comparable weight gain was 71 grams. The effect was not seen in those individuals with a healthy weight. (该效应仅在超重人群(定义为身体质量指数25-29.9千克/平方米)或肥胖人群(身体质量指数超过30千克/平方米)身上观察到。超重人群的抑郁症状得分每较自身常规值升高1分,体重平均增加52克。肥胖人群对应的体重增长为71克。在体重健康的人群中没有观察到该效应。)”可知,本段主要展示该研究得出的具体实验结果。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第五段中的“Overall, this suggests that individuals with overweight or obesity are more vulnerable (脆弱的) to weight gain in response to feeling more depressed. Although the weight gain was relatively small, even small weight changes occurring over short periods of time can lead to larger weight changes in the long-term, particularly among those with overweight and obesity. (总体而言,这表明超重或肥胖人群在情绪更加低落时,更容易出现体重增长。尽管体重增幅相对较小,但短期内微小的体重变化长期累积会造成更大的体重波动,对于超重和肥胖人群尤其如此。)”可知,Julia Mueller认为高BMI人群要避免抑郁,防止体重持续上涨。
D
A new model of the Milky Way has revealed that our galaxy is wider than we thought, according to a new paper in the journal Nature Astronomy. The researchers found that the bulge (凸起) at the center of our galaxy is less densely packed with stars than they expected.
“We obtained a significantly larger ‘size’ for the Milky Way than that expected,” the researchers wrote in the paper. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a central bar-shaped structure and several spiral arms extending from the center. The galaxy has a dense central bulge around the Galactic Center, which is thought to contain a supermassive black hole. The Milky Way contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, but the exact number is difficult to determine due to the presence of dust that prevents our view.
“Our understanding of the Milky Way’s structure has improved tremendously through the advancement of galactic observations over recent decades. Thanks to the proximity to our home galaxy, we are able to study the Milky Way’s substructures in great detail. For the same reason, however, a global picture of the galactic structure is still incomplete,” the researchers wrote in the paper.
In the paper, the researchers describe how they measured the brightness of all parts of our galaxy, and conducted a census (统计) of the red giants dotted across the Milky Way. They found that the bulge in the center of the galaxy is not as densely packed as first thought and is also flatter; the Milky Way thus has a greater half-light radius than we knew.
The half-light radius is a measure used in astronomy to describe the size of an astronomical object, defined as the radius within which half of the total light of the object is emitted. In other words, it is the distance from the center of the object to the point where half of the total light from the object is contained within a sphere of that radius.
“Because the inner disk profile flattens, the half-light radius of the Milky Way is significantly larger than that expected from a picture of the Milky Way’s structure with a bulge and single-exponential thick and thin disk components,” they wrote.
12. What did the researchers find?
A. The Milky Way is narrower than we thought.
B. The Galaxy is quite densely packed with stars.
C. The Milky Way is brighter than previously thought.
D. The Galaxy might be larger than we previously assumed.
13. Why is it hard to find out the precise number of stars in the Milky Way?
A. The Galaxy is surrounded with dust. B. The Galaxy keeps moving constantly.
C. They are too small to see. D. They stay far away.
14. What does the underlined phrase “half-light radius” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The distance from the center of an object to half of the total light.
B. The average distance of all visible stars from the center of the Galaxy.
C. The distance within which half of the galaxy’s stars are located.
D. The distance from the Galactic Center to the farthest visible star.
15. Which column of a website is the text most probably taken from?
A. Education. B. Health.
C. Science. D. Entertainment.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍一项新研究构建银河系模型发现银河系比以往认知更宽,星系中心恒星分布密度更低,并介绍了半光半径这一天文概念。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A new model of the Milky Way has revealed that our galaxy is wider than we thought, according to a new paper in the journal Nature Astronomy.(《自然・天文学》期刊上一篇新论文表明,一项新的银河系模型揭示我们的星系比我们预想的更宽。)”可知,研究人员发现银河系可能比之前设想的更大。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Milky Way contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, but the exact number is difficult to determine due to the presence of dust that prevents our view.(银河系拥有1000亿到4000亿颗恒星,但由于尘埃遮挡了我们的视线,确切数量难以确定。)”可知,尘埃的存在让人们难以统计恒星准确数量。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“The half-light radius is a measure used in astronomy to describe the size of an astronomical object, defined as the radius within which half of the total light of the object is emitted. In other words, it is the distance from the center of the object to the point where half of the total light from the object is contained within a sphere of that radius.(half-light radius是天文学中用来描述天体大小的度量,定义为天体发出总光量一半所在的半径范围。换句话说,它是从天体中心到某一点的距离,该点对应的球体范围内包含了天体总光量的一半。)”可知,half-light radius指从天体中心到包含总光量一半位置的距离。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A new model of the Milky Way has revealed that our galaxy is wider than we thought, according to a new paper in the journal Nature Astronomy.(《自然・天文学》期刊上一篇新论文表明,一项新的银河系模型揭示我们的星系比我们预想的更宽。)”以及下文内容可知,本文介绍银河系的天文新研究,属于科学类内容,最可能出自网站的科学栏目。

The widespread use of mobile phones has changed how we communicate daily, but their place in education is still a matter of debate. Some think of them as a trouble, though others feel they can serve as a useful tool for learning. Some people doubt whether students are focused on their lessons or are instead distracted by their devices, texting or even trying to cheat by taking photos of tests. ____16____ There’s also a chance they’re playing games or watching videos on their phones instead of listening to the teacher.
____17____ For example, France has made a law that doesn’t allow students under 15 to use mobile phones in school. The problem of students using mobile phones in school is a real worry. They are checking their phones, texting or going on social media. ____18____ Therefore, to deal with the problem, some schools have started using tech solutions. And other schools have begun to use special boxes to keep students’ phones during school time, so they won’t be tempted to use them.
____19____ The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones. Teachers think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible for social media and the Internet. ____20____ In their eyes, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it.
A. It’s apparent that mobile phones can destroy a child.
B. They regard it as part of changing education for children.
C. Students are often distracted by their mobile phones during class time.
D. However, some schools have decided against a complete ban on mobile phones.
E. In fact, with proper guidance, mobile phones can boost the learning experience.
F. Some students even devote up to 12 hours daily to their mobile phones.

【导语】文章讨论校园手机使用的争议,介绍部分地区的手机禁令,也提及部分学校不全面禁手机,而是引导学生合理使用手机。
【16题详解】
由上文“Some people doubt whether students are focused on their lessons or are instead distracted by their devices, texting or even trying to cheat by taking photos of tests.(有些人怀疑学生是在专心听课,还是被电子设备分心、发短信,甚至拍测验照片试图作弊。)”可知,前文介绍手机带来的课堂干扰,空格继续说明手机带来的分心问题,而C项“Students are often distracted by their mobile phones during class time.(学生在课堂上经常被手机分心。)”符合语境,承接上文手机干扰课堂的内容。
【17题详解】
由下文“For example, France has made a law that doesn’t allow students under 15 to use mobile phones in school.(例如,法国出台法律,禁止15岁以下学生在校使用手机。)”可知,后文举例说明一些地方采取禁令管控手机,而G项“Educators are exploring effective ways to monitor student mobile phone usage.(教育工作者正在寻找监管学生手机使用的有效办法。)”可引出下文管控手机的例子。
【18题详解】
由上文“They are checking their phones, texting or going on social media.(他们在刷手机、发信息或者浏览社交媒体。)”以及下文“Therefore, to deal with the problem, some schools have started using tech solutions.(因此,为了解决这个问题,一些学校开始采用技术手段。)”可知,空格继续说明学生使用手机的严重情况,而F项“Some students even devote up to 12 hours daily to their mobile phones.(有些学生每天甚至花多达12小时使用手机。)”承接学生沉迷手机的现象。
【19题详解】
由下文“The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones.(这些学校的老师认为学生是伴着手机长大的。)”可知,后文学校不禁止手机,而是教学生正确使用,与前文禁令形成转折,而D项“However, some schools have decided against a complete ban on mobile phones.(然而,有些学校决定不全面禁止手机。)”起到与上文转折并启示下文的作用。
【20题详解】
由上文“They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible for social media and the Internet.(他们还教授如何恰当使用手机,包括如何对社交媒体和网络负责。)”以及下文“In their eyes, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it.(在他们看来,这项技术已经存在,所以学校应当利用它帮助学生,而不是惧怕它。)”可知,空格说明这些学校对手机的看法,B项“They regard it as part of changing education for children.(他们把这看作是儿童教育变革的一部分。)”符合此处语境,其中it指代合理使用手机这件事。

【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:数千年来,中国人一直通过针灸缓解疼痛、治疗疾病。此空考查谓语动词,the Chinese与relieve为主动关系,时间状语For thousands of years提示使用现在完成时,主语the Chinese表示中国人,为复数概念,所以用have relieved。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, I was always interested in drawing. I would spend hours sketching in my notebook during free time. However, I never thought my drawings were good enough to show anyone. I enjoyed creating art, but I lacked confidence and was too shy to share my work with others. One day, my art teacher, Mrs Lewis, announced that the school was holding an art competition. She encouraged everyone in the class to participate. As soon as I heard about it, I knew there was no way I could enter. My work wasn’t good enough to be displayed alongside the other students’ works.
After class, Mrs Lewis noticed I didn’t seem excited. She asked me, “Why aren’t you entering the competition? Your sketches are beautiful.” I was surprised that she even knew I liked drawing. I explained that I didn’t think my drawings were good enough to be shown to others, let alone entered into a contest. Mrs Lewis smiled and said, “You don’t have to win. You just have to believe in yourself enough to try.” Those words stuck with me. She didn’t push me to be the best; she just wanted me to take a chance.
For the next few days, I went home and worked on a drawing I felt proud of. It wasn’t perfect, but I poured my heart into it. Each time I doubted myself, I thought about what Mrs Lewis had said. Slowly, my confidence grew, and I decided to enter the competition. I handed in my work the day before the deadline, unsure of what would happen but proud that I had taken the first step. That small act of bravery felt like a huge victory for me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

When the results of the competition were announced a week later, I was shocked to hear my name.

After the ceremony, Mrs Lewis found me and said, “I told you that you had it in you.”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When the results of the competition were announced a week later, I was shocked to hear my name. I had won second place. As I stood in front of the class to accept my certificate, I couldn’t believe it. The room filled with applause, and at that moment, all the doubts I had about my abilities melted away. What mattered wasn’t the award itself but the fact that I had taken a risk and believed in my talent. The excitement I felt wasn’t just about winning — it was about proving to myself that I could do something I had once been afraid to try.
After the ceremony, Mrs Lewis found me and said, “I told you that you had it in you.” Her belief in me had been the push I needed. I realized then that taking a chance, even when you’re unsure, is the only way to grow. From that day on, I stopped hiding my drawings. I began to show my artwork to my friends and family, and with each piece I created, my confidence grew. The art competition was just the beginning. I had learned that sometimes, the most important victories are not about winning a prize but about believing in yourself and keeping trying.

It was an ordinary day when I got a message from my daughter’s kindergarten about an upcoming school dance performance. At first, I thought, “How wonderful, I can’t wait to see her perform!” But to my amazement, I discovered it wasn’t just the kids, but parents were expected to join as well. “Oh, that’s terrible. I’m short of rhythm and have stage fright. How could I take part in it?”
That evening my idea was destroyed as my daughter came home excitedly, “Dad, this is going to be fun. We should wear matching pink T-shirts and stand at the front so everyone can see us.” And so, we began with practice in front of the television. My wife had luckily found a past performance online. At this point, I realised our performance would also end up online and any mistake could finally be turned into a joke. The stress had now been increased. The first at-home practice went as badly as you could imagine. And fast forward to Saturday and it was time for a group practice at school. Given the short notice, I expected the other parents to be struggling as much as me. I was wrong. They moved very well.
In the days to come we worked very hard and both our confidence and coordination improved quickly. My daughter moved like a swan, while I still moved like an elephant. The day of the big show arrived and my nervousness became less. It turns out that getting nowhere near enough sleep before a big performance is the perfect cure for stage fright. Moreover, my daughter was having the time of her life and that alone powered me.
Reflecting on the past two weeks, I realized this experience had enriched us both. It marked the first time my daughter and I learned something new together. I find myself looking forward to similar events like this in the future.

A study explores how changes in an individual’s mental health influence their body weight over time. What they found was that increases in symptoms of depression are associated with a subsequent increase in body weight when measured one month later.
The researchers were from Cambridge’s Medical Research Council (MRC) Epidemiology Unit. They examined data from over 2,000 adults living in Cambridgeshire, UK. In the study, participants completed digital questionnaires on mental wellbeing and body weight every month for up to nine months using a mobile app developed by a healthcare company. The researchers assessed an individual’s symptoms of depression, anxiety and perceived stress.
A higher score indicated greater severity, with the maximum possible scores being 24 for depression, 21 for anxiety and 40 for stress. The team then used statistical modelling to explore whether having poorer mental wellbeing than usual was related to changes in body weight one month later.
The effect was only observed in those individuals with overweight (defined as BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2) or with obesity (BMI over 30 kg/m2). Individuals with overweight had on average an increase of 52 grams for each one point increase from their usual depressive symptoms score. For those with obesity the comparable weight gain was 71 grams. The effect was not seen in those individuals with a healthy weight.
First author Dr Julia Mueller from the MRC Epidemiology Unit said, “Overall, this suggests that individuals with overweight or obesity are more vulnerable (脆弱的) to weight gain in response to feeling more depressed. Although the weight gain was relatively small, even small weight changes occurring over short periods of time can lead to larger weight changes in the long-term, particularly among those with overweight and obesity.”
Monitoring and addressing depressive symptoms in individuals with overweight or obesity can help prevent further weight gain and be beneficial to both their mental and physical health. Previous studies have suggested that poor mental health is both a cause and consequence of obesity. But this research found no evidence that weight predicted subsequent symptoms of depression.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Being fat makes people stressed out.
B. Feeling depressed can cause weight gain.
C. It’s unnecessary to worry about putting on weight.
D. There is a link between job changes and higher weight.
9. What were the participants asked to do?
A. Report their conditions regularly.
B. Develop a mobile app together.
C. Exercise on end for nine months.
D. Assess their symptoms of depression.
10. What is mainly presented in paragraph 4?
A. Systematic analyses.
B. Statistical methods.
C. Specific results.
D. Practical examples.
11. Which of the following might Julia Mueller agree with?
A. People having a high BMI should avoid getting depressed.
B. Overweight and obesity should be dealt with in no time.
C. Individuals with overweight are more likely to feel depressed.
D. Small weight changes occurring over short periods don’t matter.
D
A new model of the Milky Way has revealed that our galaxy is wider than we thought, according to a new paper in the journal Nature Astronomy. The researchers found that the bulge (凸起) at the center of our galaxy is less densely packed with stars than they expected.
“We obtained a significantly larger ‘size’ for the Milky Way than that expected,” the researchers wrote in the paper. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a central bar-shaped structure and several spiral arms extending from the center. The galaxy has a dense central bulge around the Galactic Center, which is thought to contain a supermassive black hole. The Milky Way contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, but the exact number is difficult to determine due to the presence of dust that prevents our view.
“Our understanding of the Milky Way’s structure has improved tremendously through the advancement of galactic observations over recent decades. Thanks to the proximity to our home galaxy, we are able to study the Milky Way’s substructures in great detail. For the same reason, however, a global picture of the galactic structure is still incomplete,” the researchers wrote in the paper.
In the paper, the researchers describe how they measured the brightness of all parts of our galaxy, and conducted a census (统计) of the red giants dotted across the Milky Way. They found that the bulge in the center of the galaxy is not as densely packed as first thought and is also flatter; the Milky Way thus has a greater half-light radius than we knew.
The half-light radius is a measure used in astronomy to describe the size of an astronomical object, defined as the radius within which half of the total light of the object is emitted. In other words, it is the distance from the center of the object to the point where half of the total light from the object is contained within a sphere of that radius.
“Because the inner disk profile flattens, the half-light radius of the Milky Way is significantly larger than that expected from a picture of the Milky Way’s structure with a bulge and single-exponential thick and thin disk components,” they wrote.
12. What did the researchers find?
A. The Milky Way is narrower than we thought.
B. The Galaxy is quite densely packed with stars.
C. The Milky Way is brighter than previously thought.
D. The Galaxy might be larger than we previously assumed.
13. Why is it hard to find out the precise number of stars in the Milky Way?

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, I was always interested in drawing. I would spend hours sketching in my notebook during free time. However, I never thought my drawings were good enough to show anyone. I enjoyed creating art, but I lacked confidence and was too shy to share my work with others. One day, my art teacher, Mrs Lewis, announced that the school was holding an art competition. She encouraged everyone in the class to participate. As soon as I heard about it, I knew there was no way I could enter. My work wasn’t good enough to be displayed alongside the other students’ works.
After class, Mrs Lewis noticed I didn’t seem excited. She asked me, “Why aren’t you entering the competition? Your sketches are beautiful.” I was surprised that she even knew I liked drawing. I explained that I didn’t think my drawings were good enough to be shown to others, let alone entered into a contest. Mrs Lewis smiled and said, “You don’t have to win. You just have to believe in yourself enough to try.” Those words stuck with me. She didn’t push me to be the best; she just wanted me to take a chance.
For the next few days, I went home and worked on a drawing I felt proud of. It wasn’t perfect, but I poured my heart into it. Each time I doubted myself, I thought about what Mrs Lewis had said. Slowly, my confidence grew, and I decided to enter the competition. I handed in my work the day before the deadline, unsure of what would happen but proud that I had taken the first step. That small act of bravery felt like a huge victory for me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When the results of the competition were announced a week later, I was shocked to hear my name.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the ceremony, Mrs Lewis found me and said, “I told you that you had it in you.”
