Sixteen-year-old Leo Bennett lives a life different from most teenagers. While most kids enjoy busy school days and fun outdoor activities, he has suffered from a chronic illness since he was 12. The serious health problem forces him to spend most of his time in hospital instead of going to school or hanging out with friends. Long-term medical treatment brings him constant physical pain and also leaves him with strong feelings of loneliness day after day.
To kill boring time during long hospital stays, Leo picked up drawing by accident. He did not receive any professional training at first. He simply painted the little warm moments he saw in the ward: kind nurses, bright sunshine through windows, and patients supporting each other silently. These small scenes made his hard days a little warmer.
Later, a local charity organized a painting program for teenage patients, just like the photography project for cancer kids. Leo joined it without hesitation. He communicated with other sick teens through paintings, and they shared their fears and hopes hidden in heart.
Recently, Leo’s paintings were shown in a community exhibition. All money earned from his works was donated to help more young patients in need. For Leo, painting is far more than a hobby. It helps him fight negative feelings and find his own value beyond his illness.
Hardships are common in life. We can never stay away from sufferings, but we can find our own light in tough days. A simple hobby can give us strength, connect us with others, and let us pass kindness to people around us.

B. The program lifted the sick teens’ spirits.
C. The art show took place in hospital.

It is common to hear people praise busy lifestyles. Many believe that being busy means being important and productive. If you are not rushing from one task to another, you may be considered lazy or aimless. However, constant busyness does not equal high-quality life, and slowing down is not a sign of giving up.
When people keep themselves extremely busy all the time, their attention becomes divided. They often deal with tasks hurriedly, without deep thinking. It seems that they finish a great many things, but few of them are done well. Worse still, endless busyness robs (抢) people of time for reflection. Reflection allows us to judge our progress, correct mistakes and rethink our goals. Without it, we may run hard in the wrong direction without realizing it.
Slowing down does not mean doing nothing. It means choosing what truly matters and putting energy into those things. It leaves space for observation and thinking. Research suggests that people who allow proper downtime are more creative and make wiser decisions. They are better at telling important tasks from meaningless ones, instead of keeping busy just for the sake of busyness.
Our society admires output and achievement, so many people fall into the trap of “busyness worship”. They fill every minute with activities to prove their value. But self-worth should not be measured by how busy one is. True progress comes from focused effort, not non-stop movement.
The aim is not to avoid work, but to work with awareness. Learn to pause, think and select. Do not let busyness become your life’s goal.
46. What do many people think of being busy according to Paragraph 1?
A. It is a sign of poor time management. B. It shows one’s importance and productivity.
C. It is a symbol of a high-quality life. D. It means one has to give up personal hobbies.
47. What is a major problem caused by constant busyness?
A. People cannot finish most of their tasks. B. People tend to lack time for self- reflection.
C. People will set too many unrealistic goals. D. People become unwilling to accept mistakes.
48. What does the underlined phrase “downtime” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Periods for rest and thinking B. Time wasted on meaningless work
C. Moments of heavy pressure D. Hours spent on social activities
49. Why do some people worship busyness?
A. They want to improve their creativity. B. They hope to make wiser decisions.
C. They use busyness to prove their self-value. D. They wish to avoid difficult challenges.
50. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Busy lifestyles bring great social advantages.
B. High achievement requires non-stop hard work.
C. People should avoid work and slow down completely.
D. True progress lies in focused effort rather than blind busyness.
D
Urban (城市的) forests refer to all trees and plants growing in cities, including street trees, park woods and green plants around buildings. They are not just decorations for cities. As important urban infrastructure (基础设施), they provide a wide range of benefits for city people.
Trees can cool the air naturally. In summer, buildings and roads take in heat and make cities much hotter than nearby rural (乡村的) areas — this is called the urban heat island effect. The leaves of trees take in sunlight and send water vapour (水汽) into the air, lowering local temperatures. Studies show that a large tree can produce the cooling power equal to two air-conditioners working nearly 20 hours a day.
Besides cooling, urban forests improve air quality. Tree leaves catch dust and absorb harmful gases like carbon dioxide. They produce oxygen for people to breathe. What’s more, trees can reduce noise pollution. Their branches and leaves act as natural barriers, cutting down loud sounds from busy streets.
However, urban forests face many challenges. City soil is often hard and poor in nutrients. Tall buildings block sunlight. Limited space also makes it hard for tree roots to spread. Many cities plant fast-growing tree species. Though they grow quickly, some of them are weak and easy to get sick. Experts suggest cities should choose local tree species. They are used to the local climate and soil conditions, so they can live longer with less care.
Building urban forests is not simply planting as many trees as possible. Good planning matters. If designed properly, these green spaces can offer people a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
51. What is urban forest according to Paragraph 1?
A. Forests far away from cities. B. Trees and plants within city areas.
C. Parks only for wild animals. D. Green plants inside tall buildings.
52. What is the urban heat island effect?
A. Cities are warmer than the countryside. B. Heat is kept inside buildings in summer.
C. Trees take in sunlight to produce heat. D. Air-conditioners cause rising temperatures.
53. What does the underlined word “barriers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Tools (工具). B. Screens (屏幕). C. Blocks (阻挡物). D. Sources (来源).
54. Why do experts advise cities to use local tree species?
A. They grow faster than foreign ones. B. They need fewer resources to survive.
C. They can spread roots in narrow rooms. D. They can stop buildings from blocking light.
55. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Ways to solve city pollution problems.
B. The value of urban forests and related challenges.
C. How to choose fast-growing trees for cities.
D. Different kinds of plants in modern cities.

At first, I felt extremely tired and wanted to give up soon. However, she kept encouraging me to hold on.

B
Sixteen-year-old Leo Bennett lives a life different from most teenagers. While most kids enjoy busy school days and fun outdoor activities, he has suffered from a chronic illness since he was 12. The serious health problem forces him to spend most of his time in hospital instead of going to school or hanging out with friends. Long-term medical treatment brings him constant physical pain and also leaves him with strong feelings of loneliness day after day.
To kill boring time during long hospital stays, Leo picked up drawing by accident. He did not receive any professional training at first. He simply painted the little warm moments he saw in the ward: kind nurses, bright sunshine through windows, and patients supporting each other silently. These small scenes made his hard days a little warmer.
Later, a local charity organized a painting program for teenage patients, just like the photography project for cancer kids. Leo joined it without hesitation. He communicated with other sick teens through paintings, and they shared their fears and hopes hidden in heart.
Recently, Leo’s paintings were shown in a community exhibition. All money earned from his works was donated to help more young patients in need. For Leo, painting is far more than a hobby. It helps him fight negative feelings and find his own value beyond his illness.
Hardships are common in life. We can never stay away from sufferings, but we can find our own light in tough days. A simple hobby can give us strength, connect us with others, and let us pass kindness to people around us.
41. Why did Leo feel lonely all the time?
A. He disliked studying at school.
B. He had to stay in hospital for a long time.
C. He refused to make new friends.
D. He could not take part in competitions.
42. The underlined word “chronic” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. short-term B. suddenly-happening C. long-lasting D. easily-disappeared
43. What can we know about Leo’s paintings?
A. They were based on his painful treatment experiences.
B. They showed touching warm moments in wards.
C. They became popular with many art lovers.
D. They were full of bright and rich colours.
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Leo picked up drawing long before illness.
B. The program lifted the sick teens’ spirits.
C. The art show took place in hospital.
D. Leo has fully recovered from sickness.
45. What can be learned about Leo’s personality from the passage?
A. Calm and shy. B. Positive and kind. C. Sad and weak. D. Funny and careless.
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. B 44. B 45. B
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了16 岁的里奥自幼患慢性病长期住院,靠画画排解孤单,参与公益绘画项目,画作展出所得悉数捐赠,他借绘画走出阴霾并传递善意。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The serious health problem forces him to spend most of his time in hospital instead of going to school or hanging out with friends. Long-term medical treatment brings him constant physical pain and also leaves him with strong feelings of loneliness day after day.( 这种严重的健康问题迫使他大部分时间都待在医院,无法上学或与朋友聚会。长期的医疗治疗让他不断承受身体上的疼痛,也让他日复一日地感到强烈的孤独。)”可知,疾病迫使里奥大部分时间都待在医院,无法上学、也不能和朋友相处,长期住院的状态让他日渐孤独。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…since he was 12(他从十二岁起……)”以及后文“Long-term medical treatment brings him constant physical pain and also leaves him with strong feelings of loneliness day after day.(长期的医疗治疗让他不断承受身体上的疼痛,也让他日复一日地感到强烈的孤独。)”可知,后文提到里奥从12岁就患上该病,且需要“long-term medical treatment(长期治疗)”,说明这是一种持续时间长的慢性病。chronic 意为“慢性的、长期的”,与C选项long-lasting“长时间持续的”含义最接近。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To kill boring time during long hospital stays, Leo picked up drawing by accident. He did not receive any professional training at first. He simply painted the little warm moments he saw in the ward: kind nurses, bright sunshine through windows, and patients supporting each other silently. These small scenes made his hard days a little warmer.( 为了在漫长的住院期间消磨无聊的时光,里奥偶然开始学习绘画。起初他并没有接受过任何专业训练,只是画下自己在病房里看到的那些温暖瞬间:善良的护士、透过窗户洒进的明媚阳光,以及病人默默相扶的样子。这些细微的画面让他的艰难日子变得温暖一些。)”可知,关于里奥的画作,我们可以了解到它们展现了病房中温馨动人的瞬间。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Later, a local charity organized a painting program for teenage patients, just like the photography project for cancer kids. Leo joined it without hesitation. He communicated with other sick teens through paintings, and they shared their fears and hopes hidden in heart.( 后来,当地一家慈善机构组织了一场面向青少年患者的绘画活动,就像为癌症患儿开展摄影项目一样。里奥毫不犹豫地加入了其中。他通过绘画与其他患病的青少年交流,他们分享了内心深处隐藏的恐惧与希望。)”可知,患病青少年们通过绘画交流,分享内心的恐惧与希望,说明这个绘画项目帮助他们疏解情绪、获得精神支撑,振奋了精神。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To kill boring time during long hospital stays, Leo picked up drawing by accident. He did not receive any professional training at first. He simply painted the little warm moments he saw in the ward: kind nurses, bright sunshine through windows, and patients supporting each other silently. These small scenes made his hard days a little warmer.( 为了在漫长的住院期间消磨无聊的时光,里奥偶然开始学习绘画。起初他并没有接受过任何专业训练,只是画下自己在病房里看到的那些温暖瞬间:善良的护士、透过窗户洒进的明媚阳光,以及病人默默相扶的样子。这些细微的画面让他的艰难日子变得温暖一些。)”提到里奥面对长期疾病,没有消沉,反而用绘画记录温暖、对抗负面情绪,体现了积极乐观;以及第四段“Recently, Leo’s paintings were shown in a community exhibition. All money earned from his works was donated to help more young patients in need. For Leo, painting is far more than a hobby. It helps him fight negative feelings and find his own value beyond his illness.(最近,里奥的作品在一场社区展览中展出。他作品所得的全部收入都捐赠给了需要帮助的年轻患者。对里奥来说,绘画远不止是一种爱好。它帮助他战胜负面情绪,并在疾病之外找到属于自己的价值。)”他还将画作收入全部捐赠,帮助更多患病青少年,体现了善良的心地。由此可推知,里奥是一个积极且友善的人。
C
It is common to hear people praise busy lifestyles. Many believe that being busy means being important and productive. If you are not rushing from one task to another, you may be considered lazy or aimless. However, constant busyness does not equal high-quality life, and slowing down is not a sign of giving up.
When people keep themselves extremely busy all the time, their attention becomes divided. They often deal with tasks hurriedly, without deep thinking. It seems that they finish a great many things, but few of them are done well. Worse still, endless busyness robs (抢) people of time for reflection. Reflection allows us to judge our progress, correct mistakes and rethink our goals. Without it, we may run hard in the wrong direction without realizing it.
Slowing down does not mean doing nothing. It means choosing what truly matters and putting energy into those things. It leaves space for observation and thinking. Research suggests that people who allow proper downtime are more creative and make wiser decisions. They are better at telling important tasks from meaningless ones, instead of keeping busy just for the sake of busyness.
Our society admires output and achievement, so many people fall into the trap of “busyness worship”. They fill every minute with activities to prove their value. But self-worth should not be measured by how busy one is. True progress comes from focused effort, not non-stop movement.
The aim is not to avoid work, but to work with awareness. Learn to pause, think and select. Do not let busyness become your life’s goal.
46. What do many people think of being busy according to Paragraph 1?
A. It is a sign of poor time management. B. It shows one’s importance and productivity.
C. It is a symbol of a high-quality life. D. It means one has to give up personal hobbies.
47. What is a major problem caused by constant busyness?
A. People cannot finish most of their tasks. B. People tend to lack time for self- reflection.
C. People will set too many unrealistic goals. D. People become unwilling to accept mistakes.
48. What does the underlined phrase “downtime” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Periods for rest and thinking B. Time wasted on meaningless work
C. Moments of heavy pressure D. Hours spent on social activities
49. Why do some people worship busyness?
A. They want to improve their creativity. B. They hope to make wiser decisions.
C. They use busyness to prove their self-value. D. They wish to avoid difficult challenges.
50. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Busy lifestyles bring great social advantages.
B. High achievement requires non-stop hard work.
C. People should avoid work and slow down completely.
D. True progress lies in focused effort rather than blind busyness.
【答案】46. B 47. B 48. A 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文论述了不要盲目忙碌,真正的进步来自专注的努力。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many believe that being busy means being important and productive. (许多人认为忙碌意味着重要和高效。)”可知,很多人认为忙碌表明一个人的重要性和生产力。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Worse still, endless busyness robs (抢) people of time for reflection. Reflection allows us to judge our progress, correct mistakes and rethink our goals. Without it, we may run hard in the wrong direction without realizing it. (更糟糕的是,无休止的忙碌剥夺了人们反思的时间。反思让我们能够判断自己的进展、纠正错误并重新思考目标。没有反思,我们可能会在错误的方向上奋力奔跑而不自知。)”可知,持续忙碌的一个主要问题是人们往往缺乏自我反思的时间。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Slowing down does not mean doing nothing. It means choosing what truly matters and putting energy into those things. It leaves space for observation and thinking. Research suggests that people who allow proper downtime are more creative and make wiser decisions. (慢下来并不意味着什么都不做。它意味着选择真正重要的事情并将精力投入其中。它为观察和思考留出空间。研究表明,允许适当downtime的人更具创造力,也能做出更明智的决定。)”可知,“downtime”指慢下来后为观察和思考留出的空间,即“休息和思考的时间”。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Our society admires output and achievement, so many people fall into the trap of “busyness worship”. They fill every minute with activities to prove their value. But self-worth should not be measured by how busy one is. (我们的社会崇尚产出和成就,因此许多人陷入了“忙碌崇拜”的陷阱。他们用活动填满每一分钟,以证明自己的价值。但自我价值不应以一个人有多忙来衡量。)”可知,一些人崇拜忙碌是因为他们用忙碌来证明自我价值。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段末尾“True progress comes from focused effort, not non-stop movement. (真正的进步来自专注的努力,而非不停的奔忙。)”以及最后一段“The aim is not to avoid work, but to work with awareness. Learn to pause, think and select. Do not let busyness become your life’s goal. (目的不是逃避工作,而是带着觉察去工作。学会暂停、思考和选择。不要让忙碌成为你人生的目标。)”可知,文章的核心观点是:真正的进步在于专注的努力,而非盲目的忙碌。

Urban (城市的) forests refer to all trees and plants growing in cities, including street trees, park woods and green plants around buildings. They are not just decorations for cities. As important urban infrastructure (基础设施), they provide a wide range of benefits for city people.
Trees can cool the air naturally. In summer, buildings and roads take in heat and make cities much hotter than nearby rural (乡村的) areas — this is called the urban heat island effect. The leaves of trees take in sunlight and send water vapour (水汽) into the air, lowering local temperatures. Studies show that a large tree can produce the cooling power equal to two air-conditioners working nearly 20 hours a day.
Besides cooling, urban forests improve air quality. Tree leaves catch dust and absorb harmful gases like carbon dioxide. They produce oxygen for people to breathe. What’s more, trees can reduce noise pollution. Their branches and leaves act as natural barriers, cutting down loud sounds from busy streets.
However, urban forests face many challenges. City soil is often hard and poor in nutrients. Tall buildings block sunlight. Limited space also makes it hard for tree roots to spread. Many cities plant fast-growing tree species. Though they grow quickly, some of them are weak and easy to get sick. Experts suggest cities should choose local tree species. They are used to the local climate and soil conditions, so they can live longer with less care.
Building urban forests is not simply planting as many trees as possible. Good planning matters. If designed properly, these green spaces can offer people a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题。
Jogging is widely welcomed among teenagers as an easy and helpful sport. Unlike some ball games, it doesn’t require any expensive equipment. In fact, all you need is a comfortable pair of running shoes to start your exercise.
My elder sister has cultivated a good habit of jogging. She usually starts her exercise at 6:30 a.m. and keeps running for about 30 minutes along the peaceful river. She believes that fresh morning air can make her relaxed and energetic for the whole day’s study and life. Sometimes she invites me to exercise with her. At first, I felt extremely tired and wanted to give up soon. However, she kept encouraging me to hold on.
Now I have kept jogging three times a week for two months. It not only makes me keep fit but also helps me reduce study pressure. It tells me that a strong will can lead to small but meaningful changes in life.

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your email. Now I’d like to tell you something about my high‑school life.
As Senior Three is approaching, I have more courses and heavier study pressure. Sometimes I feel anxious, but I have learned to adjust my attitude to face challenges bravely. Besides lessons, our school holds various activities, among which I took part in a reading‑sharing meeting and gained a lot. Not only do I get on well with my classmates, but we also discuss difficult problems together whenever we meet them. What I plan to do is keep a balance between study and rest. I will stick to doing exercise in my spare time to improve myself steadily.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
