My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed (牺牲) her own career and life for my opportunities and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began, “eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued, “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping burgers, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 4. Why does the author mention her experiences in paragraph 1? A. To prove the difficulty of IB programs. B. To highlight her great academic pressure. C. To show the necessity of a good university. D. To complain about her strict teacher and father. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Cause. B. Symbol. C. Solution. D. Foundation. 6. From the author’s rubber band metaphor, we can infer that ________. A. flexibility is her most valued quality B. timely relaxation is essential to avoid breaking C. constant stretching leads to better performance D. success requires working under extreme pressure 7. What gives the author the courage to “reach for the moon” without fear? A. Her mastery of effective learning methods. B. Her final acceptance of her academic talent. C. Her mother’s unconditional love and support. D. Her realization of the importance of a flexible schedule. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在IB课程、SAT考试和课外活动等多重压力下崩溃，母亲的开导让她重新找回勇气和希望的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an extremely strict physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. (国际文凭课程严苛的要求，在开学第三天，就因一堂极其严格的物理实验课而成为我的现实。老师断言没有人能拿到90分以上的成绩，这动摇了我的信心。回到家，父亲对我停滞不前的SAT成绩（进入名牌大学的必要条件）表示担忧，更加剧了我的焦虑)”可知，作者提到这些经历是为了突出她巨大的学业压力。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. (我崩溃的最终catalyst是来自地区红十字青年委员会的一次意外的拒绝)”和“The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(红十字会是我的热情所在，也是我赖以区别于其他申请者的支柱。这次拒绝让我的未来一片黯淡，我就像一根被拉伸到极限的橡皮筋一样，彻底崩溃了)”可知，因为被红十字青年委员会拒绝，作者彻底崩溃了，说明“被拒绝”是作者崩溃的“诱因”，划线词与“Cause”同义。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. (我意识到橡皮筋不必一直拉伸。白天缠在头发上、晚上被允许放在床头柜上休息的橡皮筋永远不会断裂)”可推知，橡皮筋需要适当放松，人也是如此，适时放松对于避免崩溃是必要的。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.(对失败的恐惧失去了它的力量。我仍在追寻月亮，但我不再害怕。因为我知道，如果我没能触及，我会正好落在母亲的怀里)”可知，母亲无条件的爱和支持给了作者无畏追求的勇气。 C At any bus stop or in a queue, most people couldn’t help keeping their heads down, scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits. We seem to do anything to avoid being alone with our thoughts. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning. She adds that what is of real meaning is high-order thinking leading to human achievements. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted — finding the empty time just as pleasant as scrolling on a phone would have made it. We badly underestimate how rewarding it can be to simply follow our own thoughts. Mind-wandering is a distinct human gift that boosts learning. In one study, Vékony and her colleagues(2023) found that when learners’ minds wandered, their brains slipped into brief, sleep-like “offline” moments. In these quiet pauses, freshly learned material was strengthened and allowed to take root. 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. Daydreaming boosts social and emotional connections too. A study found that 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. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and lets his thoughts wander. He finds that simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 8. Why is mindless phone scrolling compared to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to the brain over time. B. It replaces higher-order thinking. C. It pleases us instantly but lacks meaning. D. It tastes sweet but is extremely hard to give up. 9. Why does the author mention the 2022 study? A. To reveal the pleasure of daydreaming. B. To show the fear of boredom is exaggerated. C. To state that the fear of boredom is common. D. To highlight the limits of mindless scrolling. 10. What does paragraph 5 imply about the “default mode”? A. Unfocused thinking sparks ideas. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Stay Focused in the Age of Smartphones. B. Rediscover the Joy of Being Truly Alone. C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind. D. Uncover the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人们习惯刷手机逃避独处思考的现状，通过多项研究证明，放空走神、思绪漫游并非浪费时间，反而能够巩固所学知识、解决难题、增进情感联结，拥有诸多隐藏益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning.(社会心理学教授Erin Westgate将常见的无意识刷手机行为比作“大脑糖果”，它只能带来短暂的愉悦，却毫无实质意义。)”可知，无意识刷手机即时取悦大脑但缺乏内涵，因此被比作“大脑糖果”。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted (许多人惧怕无聊，但这种恐惧往往被夸大了。Murayama开展了一项2022年的研究，实验要求大学生独自静坐20分钟，全程只能放空思考。尽管他们原本以为这段煎熬的时光难以忍受，但绝大多数人最后发现，独处思考远比自己预想的要愉悦得多)”可知，作者列举2022年的研究，是为了证明人们对无聊、放空独处的恐惧是言过其实的。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode, allowing ideas to connect in new ways.(即使人们没有主动思考，大脑仍会在所谓的默认模式下保持活跃，让想法以全新的方式产生联结。)”可知，非专注的放空思考能够激发新思路、产生新想法。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits.(但多项研究表明，如果你克制住刷手机的冲动，转而放空思绪、任由大脑自由漫游，你或许能收获一些意想不到的益处。)”并通读全文可知，文章层层阐述思绪漫游、放空走神在学习记忆、解决问题、社交情绪等方面的多重积极作用，核心是挖掘并介绍大脑放空思考的强大力量；因此最佳标题为“解锁思绪漫游的力量”。 D It is well known that rhinos (犀牛) have poor eyesight, so they mostly rely on their noses to understand the world around them. But there’s one interaction in which sound plays a key role. Southern white rhino males can either be dominant (支配地位的) or subordinate. And only the dominant males hold and defend territories. New search finds that they can distinguish the calls of other males to know who is who. “ We found that contact calls carry information about the dominance status of the males. It means that only by listening to the calls, you can say if the male is territorial or subordinate.” Ivana Cinkoval, a zoologist at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. She and her team spent almost two years in South Africa’s Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park recording the social contact calls of male rhinos. Then they played those calls back to dominant territorial males and watched the responses. The researchers asked that the rhino calls not be included in this program due to the concern that calls might be used for illegal hunting. Back to the reactions of the rhinos. “They started to search for the unexpected visitor the most quickly and spent the longest time searching around for the unwelcome visitor after the playback of the subordinate call, which was quite surprising.” Only territorial male rhinos hold breeding (交配繁育) opportunities with the female rhinos. Subordinate males could thus be interested in challenging the territorial male for dominance. But dominant males rarely lose their territories to subordinate males, at least while they’re in prime condition. 12. What do dominant males rely on to identify others? A. Sense of hearing. B. Sense of touch. C. Sense of sight. D. Sense of smell. 13. Why didn’t researchers allow recorded calls to be included in the program? A. To protect their intellectual property rights. B. To keep people from being frightened by them. C. To prevent them from being used for hunting rhinos. D. To cover up the fact of illegal hunting in rhinos. 14. How did dominant males react to the subordinate call? A. They started to search for a hiding place. B. They sought for the comer quickly and carefully. C. They ran away from the unexpected visitors. D. They looked around with great alarm. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Territorial males’ dominance is generally stable. B. Dominance males’ position is challenging. C. Subordinate males are aggressive. D. Subordinate males have breeding opportunities. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了犀牛可以通过听觉来辨别其他的雄性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“New search finds that they can distinguish the calls of other males to know who is who.(新的研究发现它们可以分辨出其他雄性的叫声来辨别谁是谁)”可知，处于支配地位的雄性犀牛通过听觉来辨别其他的雄性。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers asked that the rhino calls not be included in this program due to the concern that calls might be used for illegal hunting.(研究人员要求犀牛的叫声不要包括在这个程序中，因为担心这些叫声可能被用于非法狩猎)”可知，研究人员不允许把犀牛的叫声包括在这个程序中是为了防止这些叫声被用于非法狩猎。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They started to search for the unexpected visitor the most quickly and spent the longest time searching around for the unwelcome visitor after the playback of the subordinate call, which was quite surprising.(它们开始快速寻找意外的来访者并且在重新播放了处于从属地位的犀牛的叫声之后花了很长时间寻找不受欢迎的访客，这是一件非常令人惊讶的事)”可知，在听到处于从属地位的犀牛的叫声之后，处于支配地位的犀牛的反应是快速并仔细地寻找来访者。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But dominant males rarely lose their territories to subordinate males, at least while they’re in prime condition.(但是处于支配地位的雄性犀牛很少把领地让给从属的雄性，至少在它们状态良好的时候不会)”可知，领地雄性的统治地位一般是稳定的。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Happiness: Protecting Your Heart Scientists have long known that having a cheerful personality is good for your health. A positive outlook on life is linked to a healthier heart and longer life. ____16____ Now, two new studies published this week have found specific healthy behaviors that explain the link. Previous research has found that people who are optimistic, have a sense of purpose and are satisfied with their lives have a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. ____17____ These healthy habits in turn protect their hearts, according to studies involving nearly 5,000 people. One study looked at how a sense of purpose affects our health. Having a reason to get up in the morning, such as work or caring for a loved one, is known to protect against heart attacks and stroke. The new research found that those with a higher sense of purpose were more likely to have lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇) and fewer inflammation (炎症) signs in their blood. ____18____ The second study, of 700 people, showed that optimistic people had significantly lower blood sugar and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. These are two key risk factors for heart disease. Optimists also tended to be more physically active and less likely to smoke. “These studies prove that happiness and life satisfaction influence our physical health,” said Dr. Julia Boehm from Harvard University. Happier people have lower risk factors for heart disease. ____19____ But can miserable people learn to be happy? Experts believe yes. Simple techniques like recording good daily events or performing random kindness can boost happiness. ____20____ So next time you feel down, remember: looking on the bright side could save your life. A. Both of them are linked to a higher risk of heart disease. B. Being unhappy can increase the levels of stress hormones. C. This is probably because they take better care of themselves. D. But how happiness protects the heart has long been a mystery. E. Optimism is a quality that can be developed, not unchangeable. F. They are more likely to eat well, exercise regularly and sleep better. G. People with strong purpose seldom suffer from serious heart problems. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了幸福感和生活满意度对心脏健康的保护作用，通过两项新研究解释了幸福感如何通过影响生理指标和健康行为来降低心脏病风险，并指出乐观品质是可以后天培养的。 【16题详解】 上文“Scientists have long known that having a cheerful personality is good for your health. A positive outlook on life is linked to a healthier heart and longer life.(科学家早就知道开朗的性格对健康有益。积极的人生观与更健康的心脏和更长的寿命有关)”指出快乐对健康有益这一已知事实，D选项“But how happiness protects the heart has long been a mystery.(但快乐如何保护心脏长期以来一直是个谜)”与上文构成转折，提出问题——快乐保护心脏的机制尚不清楚；下文“Now, two new studies published this week have found specific healthy behaviors that explain the link.(现在，本周发表的两项新研究发现了解释这种联系的具体健康行为)”承接D选项，指出新研究揭示了其中的机制，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【17题详解】 上文“Previous research has found that people who are optimistic, have a sense of purpose and are satisfied with their lives have a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.(先前的研究发现，乐观、有目标感且对生活满意的人患心脏病和中风的风险较低)”指出积极心态与低风险相关，F选项“They are more likely to eat well, exercise regularly and sleep better.(他们更有可能吃得好、定期锻炼和睡得更好)”承接上文，解释原因——这些人的健康行为更佳；下文“These healthy habits in turn protect their hearts, according to studies involving nearly 5,000 people.(根据一项涉及近5000人的研究，这些健康习惯反过来保护了他们的心脏)”中的“These healthy habits”指代F选项中提到的饮食、锻炼和睡眠习惯，上下文逻辑一致。故选F项。 【18题详解】 上文“The new research found that those with a higher sense of purpose were more likely to have lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇) and fewer inflammation (炎症) signs in their blood.(新研究发现，目标感更强的人更有可能具有较低水平的皮质醇和较少的血液炎症迹象)”指出目标感强的人生理指标更健康，A选项“Both of them are linked to a higher risk of heart disease.(这两者都与较高的心脏病风险相关)”承接上文，说明皮质醇和炎症迹象与心脏病风险的关系，解释了为什么目标感强能保护心脏——因为降低了这些风险因素，其中“Both of them”指代上文的“cortisol”和“inflammation signs”，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文““These studies prove that happiness and life satisfaction influence our physical health,” said Dr. Julia Boehm from Harvard University. Happier people have lower risk factors for heart disease.(哈佛大学的Julia Boehm博士表示：“这些研究证明，幸福感和生活满意度会影响我们的身体健康。”更快乐的人患心脏病的风险因素更低)”总结了研究发现，C选项“This is probably because they take better care of themselves.(这很可能是因为他们更好地照顾自己)”承接上文，解释更快乐的人风险因素更低的原因——更好的自我照顾，其中“This”指代上文中更快乐的人风险因素更低这一现象，上下文逻辑一致。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“Experts believe yes. Simple techniques like recording good daily events or performing random kindness can boost happiness.(专家们认为可以。简单的方法，如记录日常好事或随机行善，可以提升幸福感)”指出幸福感可以通过练习提升，E选项“Optimism is a quality that can be developed, not unchangeable.(乐观是一种可以培养的品质，并非一成不变)”承接上文，进一步强调乐观是可塑的、可发展的，与上文“can boost happiness”相呼应；下文“So next time you feel down, remember: looking on the bright side could save your life.(所以下次你感到沮丧时，请记住：看到光明的一面可以挽救你的生命)”中的“remember: looking on the bright side”与E选项中的“Optimism can be developed”相呼应，鼓励读者培养乐观心态，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Maggie Fitzgerald was a 31-year-old waitress living a poor and plain life.

Truly 44. the 45. at 【解析】 【导语】文章改编自《海底两万里》，主要讲述了生物学家阿龙纳斯等人被潜艇俘虏后，在海底漫步时目睹的奇妙水下世界。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态和被动语态。句意：不幸的是，这位生物学家和他的同伴们一起被俘获并被带进了潜艇内部，在那里他们见到了尼摩船长。根据空后的“and taken inside”可知，空处与taken并列作谓语，应用一般过去时的被动语态；主语the biologist为单数，along with his companions不影响主语的单复数，谓语动词与the biologist保持一致，所以be动词用was。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词inside（指代潜艇内部），关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导该从句。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了保守这个秘密，尼摩告诉他们不允许离开。此处为“permit sb. to do sth.”的被动形式，即“sb. be permitted to do sth.”，意为“某人被允许做某事”，空处应用不定式。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽然内德·兰德一心只想着逃跑，但阿龙纳斯却被这个新水下世界迷住了。分析句子结构可知，空处引导让步状语从句，此处用while引导让步状语从句，表“虽然、尽管”；位于句首，首字母需大写。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在这部分改编自该书的选段中，阿龙纳斯描述了在海底行走的情景。根据空前的“In this part”和空后的“from the book”可知，空处修饰part，作后置定语；part与adapt之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词形式。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：言语不足以描述如此令人难以置信的奇观！根据空后的名词wonders可知，空处需用形容词作定语；结合语境，此处表示“难以置信的”，应用unbelievable。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：太阳光的强光让我惊叹，它轻易地穿透了水，所以我能清楚地分辨远处的物体。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词astonished，空处应用非谓语动词；shine与逻辑主语The solar light之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作伴随状语。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：确实，这水不过是另一种空气，比地球的大气层更重。空处修饰整个句子，应用副词作状语；true的副词形式为truly“事实上，的确”；位于句首，首字母需大写。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：确实，这水不过是另一种空气，比地球的大气层更重。根据空后的“Earth’s atmosphere”可知，此处特指地球的大气层，应用定冠词。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：当我说在三十英尺深的地方，我看得像在光天化日之下一样清楚，会有人相信我吗？根据空后的“the depth of thirty feet”可知，此处表示“在……深度”，应用介词at。 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文报正在举办以“Adventure”为主题的征文活动。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1)你的一次难忘的冒险经历（或你最喜欢的一项探险活动）； 2)这次经历/这项活动给你带来的收获或感悟。 注意： 词数 80 左右；可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；标题已给出，不计入总词数。 My Unforgettable Adventure ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My Unforgettable Adventure Last summer, I went hiking with my friends in a suburban forest park, which turned out to be an unforgettable adventure.

Every day at lunch, I would slip out of the noisy cafeteria and find a quiet corner in the library’s back hallway. It wasn’t that I hated people — back in my old school, I was the one who always started the lunch table conversations. But here? I just felt like I didn’t belong. My family had moved to this town at the start of the semester, and somehow, everyone else already had their friend groups, their inside jokes, their unspoken rules about where to sit. I had none of that. My mother noticed. “You need to step out of your zone to reach others,” she would say, packing my lunch with extra care. I would nod, then do the same thing the next day: grab my lunch tray (餐盘), walk toward the cafeteria doors, then turn left toward the library instead. Then came the afternoon everything changed. I was sitting in my usual spot, eating alone, when I heard footsteps. An elderly janitor (看门人) named Mr. Elian — someone I had only ever seen pushing a mop (拖把) from a distance — walked toward me with a broom (扫帚) in one hand and his own lunch bag in the other. “Mind if I join you?” he asked, without waiting for an answer, lowering himself onto the floor across from me. I shrugged. It was a free hallway. Then he said something I still remember: “You know, I used to eat alone too. For years, actually.” I looked up. “Really?” He nodded. “After my wife passed. I didn’t know how to be around people anymore. So I found a quiet corner — just like this one — and I stayed there.” “What changed?” I asked. Mr. Elian smiled. “One day, someone sat down next to me. Didn’t say much. Just sat there. And somehow, that small act reminded me that I wasn’t invisible.” He took a bite of his sandwich and looked at me. “Sometimes,” he said, “the person sitting alone isn’t choosing to be alone. They’re just waiting for someone to notice.” I didn’t say anything. But something in my chest loosened. 注意： 1．续写的词数应为120左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At lunch the next day, I walked straight into the cafeteria. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After our chat, I noticed Mr. Elian in the distance, smiling. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： At lunch the next day, I walked straight into the cafeteria. The roar of conversations hit me like a wave, and my heart was racing. “Just breathe,” I told myself, recalling Mr. Elian’s words. Scanning the room, I caught sight of a boy sitting alone. Taking a deep breath, I stepped over. “Mind if I join you?” I asked. He looked up, surprise melting into a shy smile and agreed. As we chatted casually about school life, the invisible wall around me magically disappeared. Paragraph 2： After our chat, I noticed Mr. Elian in the distance, smiling. He gave me a big thumbs-up, and our silent exchange filled me with warmth. His encouraging eyes seemed to praise my bravery. Walking out of the cafeteria, I realized I had finally found a sense of belonging. More importantly, I understood that belonging isn’t found in quiet corners, but is created in the brave moments when we reach out. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述转学后作者难以融入新环境，每天午餐躲在图书馆走廊独自吃饭，看门人埃利安先生用自身经历开导作者，使作者鼓起勇气走进食堂主动接近他人，并领悟到归属感源于勇敢主动交往的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者走进食堂时紧张的心理，回忆埃利安先生的话语，主动靠近独自就餐的男孩，与之交谈，消除内心的隔阂。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者看到埃利安先生给予的鼓励，内心深受触动，领悟归属感来自勇敢主动与人交往的人生感悟。 2.续写线索：内心紧张——回忆开导——主动搭话——愉快交谈——收到鼓励——感悟归属 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①呼吸：breathe/inhale/take a breath ②赞扬：praise/compliment 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②腼腆的：shy/timid 【点睛】【高分句型1】Scanning the room, I caught sight of a boy sitting alone.

My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed (牺牲) her own career and life for my opportunities and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began, “eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued, “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping burgers, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 4. Why does the author mention her experiences in paragraph 1? A. To prove the difficulty of IB programs. B. To highlight her great academic pressure. C. To show the necessity of a good university. D. To complain about her strict teacher and father. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Cause. B. Symbol. C. Solution. D. Foundation. 6. From the author’s rubber band metaphor, we can infer that ________. A. flexibility is her most valued quality B. timely relaxation is essential to avoid breaking C. constant stretching leads to better performance D. success requires working under extreme pressure 7. What gives the author the courage to “reach for the moon” without fear? A. Her mastery of effective learning methods. B. Her final acceptance of her academic talent. C. Her mother’s unconditional love and support. D. Her realization of the importance of a flexible schedule. C At any bus stop or in a queue, most people couldn’t help keeping their heads down, scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits. We seem to do anything to avoid being alone with our thoughts. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning. She adds that what is of real meaning is high-order thinking leading to human achievements. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted — finding the empty time just as pleasant as scrolling on a phone would have made it. We badly underestimate how rewarding it can be to simply follow our own thoughts. Mind-wandering is a distinct human gift that boosts learning. In one study, Vékony and her colleagues(2023) found that when learners’ minds wandered, their brains slipped into brief, sleep-like “offline” moments. In these quiet pauses, freshly learned material was strengthened and allowed to take root. 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. Daydreaming boosts social and emotional connections too. A study found that 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. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and lets his thoughts wander. He finds that simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 8. Why is mindless phone scrolling compared to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to the brain over time. B. It replaces higher-order thinking. C. It pleases us instantly but lacks meaning. D. It tastes sweet but is extremely hard to give up. 9. Why does the author mention the 2022 study? A. To reveal the pleasure of daydreaming. B. To show the fear of boredom is exaggerated. C. To state that the fear of boredom is common. D. To highlight the limits of mindless scrolling. 10. What does paragraph 5 imply about the “default mode”? A. Unfocused thinking sparks ideas. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Stay Focused in the Age of Smartphones. B. Rediscover the Joy of Being Truly Alone. C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind. D. Uncover the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming. D It is well known that rhinos (犀牛) have poor eyesight, so they mostly rely on their noses to understand the world around them. But there’s one interaction in which sound plays a key role. Southern white rhino males can either be dominant (支配地位的) or subordinate. And only the dominant males hold and defend territories. New search finds that they can distinguish the calls of other males to know who is who. “ We found that contact calls carry information about the dominance status of the males. It means that only by listening to the calls, you can say if the male is territorial or subordinate.” Ivana Cinkoval, a zoologist at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. She and her team spent almost two years in South Africa’s Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park recording the social contact calls of male rhinos. Then they played those calls back to dominant territorial males and watched the responses. The researchers asked that the rhino calls not be included in this program due to the concern that calls might be used for illegal hunting. Back to the reactions of the rhinos. “They started to search for the unexpected visitor the most quickly and spent the longest time searching around for the unwelcome visitor after the playback of the subordinate call, which was quite surprising.” Only territorial male rhinos hold breeding (交配繁育) opportunities with the female rhinos. Subordinate males could thus be interested in challenging the territorial male for dominance. But dominant males rarely lose their territories to subordinate males, at least while they’re in prime condition. 12. What do dominant males rely on to identify others? A. Sense of hearing. B. Sense of touch. C. Sense of sight. D. Sense of smell. 13. Why didn’t researchers allow recorded calls to be included in the program? A. To protect their intellectual property rights. B. To keep people from being frightened by them. C. To prevent them from being used for hunting rhinos. D. To cover up the fact of illegal hunting in rhinos. 14. How did dominant males react to the subordinate call? A. They started to search for a hiding place. B. They sought for the comer quickly and carefully. C. They ran away from the unexpected visitors. D. They looked around with great alarm. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Territorial males’ dominance is generally stable. B. Dominance males’ position is challenging. C. Subordinate males are aggressive. D. Subordinate males have breeding opportunities. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Happiness: Protecting Your Heart Scientists have long known that having a cheerful personality is good for your health. A positive outlook on life is linked to a healthier heart and longer life. ____16____ Now, two new studies published this week have found specific healthy behaviors that explain the link. Previous research has found that people who are optimistic, have a sense of purpose and are satisfied with their lives have a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. ____17____ These healthy habits in turn protect their hearts, according to studies involving nearly 5,000 people. One study looked at how a sense of purpose affects our health. Having a reason to get up in the morning, such as work or caring for a loved one, is known to protect against heart attacks and stroke.

Every day at lunch, I would slip out of the noisy cafeteria and find a quiet corner in the library’s back hallway. It wasn’t that I hated people — back in my old school, I was the one who always started the lunch table conversations. But here? I just felt like I didn’t belong.

I would nod, then do the same thing the next day: grab my lunch tray (餐盘), walk toward the cafeteria doors, then turn left toward the library instead. Then came the afternoon everything changed. I was sitting in my usual spot, eating alone, when I heard footsteps. An elderly janitor (看门人) named Mr. Elian — someone I had only ever seen pushing a mop (拖把) from a distance — walked toward me with a broom (扫帚) in one hand and his own lunch bag in the other. “Mind if I join you?” he asked, without waiting for an answer, lowering himself onto the floor across from me.

Didn’t say much. Just sat there. And somehow, that small act reminded me that I wasn’t invisible.” He took a bite of his sandwich and looked at me. “Sometimes,” he said, “the person sitting alone isn’t choosing to be alone. They’re just waiting for someone to notice.” I didn’t say anything. But something in my chest loosened. 注意： 1．续写的词数应为120左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At lunch the next day, I walked straight into the cafeteria. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After our chat, I noticed Mr. Elian in the distance, smiling. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
