Sometimes you're probably nervous that you won't get along with anyone or that you'll do something embarrassing or maybe you simply don't know what you should say to someone to break the eyes and create a friendly or atmosphere. But just keep in mind that everyone's been where you are, no matter if someone's a shy or outgoing, they'd in a situation where they had a talk to someone they didn't know, there's no perfect thing to say and nobody goes through life without some awkward social interactions here in there. Feeling uncomfortable is a natural part of life, and stepping outside of our comfort zones is necessary for us to grow up and to improve our relationships with others. For example, IT may be hard for you to share some of your personal problems with a friend. You might be worried that they'll feel differently about you if you tell them, but if your friends see that you want to be open with them, even when it's hard, they'll also feel more comfortable sharing their problems with you, and your friendship will be Better. This goes for new meeting acquaintance too. It's okay to be a little nervous because everyone, including the person you are talking to, understands that feeling. Just don't let that stop you from putting yourself out there and trying to connect with new people. Trying to make new friends can make you frightened.

【原文】Trying to make new friends can make you frightened sometimes. You’re probably nervous that you won’t get along with anyone or that you’ll do something embarrassing. Or maybe you simply don’t know what you should say to someone to break the ice and create a friendlier atmosphere. But just keep in mind that everyone’s been where you are. No matter if someone’s shy or outgoing, they’ve been in a situation where they had to talk to someone they didn’t know. There’s no perfect thing to say, and nobody goes through life without some awkward social interactions here and there. Feeling uncomfortable is a natural part of life, and stepping outside of our comfort zones is necessary for us to grow up and to improve our relationships with others. For example, it may be hard for you to share some of your personal problems with a friend. You might be worried that they’ll feel differently about you if you tell them. But if your friends see that you want to be open with them, even when it’s hard, they’ll also feel more comfortable sharing their problems with you, and your friendship will be better. This goes for new meeting acquaintances too. It’s OK to be a little nervous, because everyone, including the person you’re talking to, understands that feeling. Just don’t let it stop you from putting yourself out there and trying to connect with new people.

So as Equatic’s planned Quebec plant moves ahead, scientists will be watching to learn more about its environmental impact and about just how effective marine carbon dioxide removal can really be.(然而,最终,这个新兴行业充满了不确定性。到目前为止,海洋碳去除的研究一直基于实验室实验和试验。因此,随着 Equatic 计划中的魁北克工厂推进,科学家们将密切关注,以更多地了解其环境影响以及海洋二氧化碳去除的实际效果究竟如何)” 可推断,作者认为海洋碳去除仍是一个有待进一步研究的开放性问题。故选D。
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天津师范大学关于短视频对大脑影响的研究,指出其虽有相关发现但存在局限性,最后建议人们反思媒体使用习惯。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘brain rot’ refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much ‘unimportant or unchallenging’ content online.(“脑雾”指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象)”可知,“脑雾”是一种由网络内容导致的精神状态。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions.(研究人员对111名短视频高频使用者的大脑进行扫描后发现:沉迷程度越深者,脑结构变异越显著。这些受试者眶额皮层(决策与情绪管理中枢)及小脑(调控运动与情绪区域)的灰质明显增厚)”可知,研究的主要发现之一是决策相关区域的灰质增多。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect.(这项研究的一大缺陷在于其单次检测法。若要证明长时间观看短视频会损伤大脑,更有效的方法应是对受试者观看不同时长视频前后的脑部变化进行对比。但该研究仅采集了单一时间节点的数据,既未追踪长期变化,也未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系)”可知,作者质疑该研究的设计主要是因为它未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系,即未能建立因果关系。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “ brain rot ” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.(2024年度牛津词典将“脑雾”选为年度词汇,该词指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象。尽管这个说法常被戏谑使用,但天津师范大学的最新研究表明,其中或许确有科学依据)”、第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure.(研究人员对111名经常观看短视频的学生的大脑进行了检查,发现那些对短视频最着迷的学生的大脑结构有明显差异)”和倒数第二段“Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.(尽管研究结果令人担忧,但其本身存在局限性。类似关于科技对大脑影响的担忧早有先例——比如数字媒体威胁人类生存的论调,然而迄今都缺乏确凿证据佐证。英国巴斯大学彼得·埃切尔斯教授强调,目前并无可靠科学依据证明短视频会特异性地损伤大脑功能)”可知,文章介绍了关于“脑雾”的研究,说明因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象,但同时指出该研究存在局限性,没有确凿证据证明短视频对大脑有独特危害。故A项“Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear?(脑雾:是真正的威胁还是被夸大的恐惧?)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选A项。
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. F 39. E 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了几个辨别网络文章可靠性的方法,
【36题详解】
根据空后“Established news organizations usually have standard addresses that you are probably familiar with.(成熟的新闻机构通常有你可能熟悉的标准地址)”及其他细节可知,这一段主要是建议读者留意网址拼写是否合规,故B项“注意网站地址的拼写”适合作主题句。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“So addresses with such strange endings like www.xxcom.com” should put you on guard.(所以像www.xxcom.com这样奇怪结尾的地址应该引起你的警惕)”以及后文“This is necessary even when the pages on the websites look familiar and professional.(这是必要的,即使网站上的页面看起来熟悉和专业)”可知,上文提到了奇怪结尾的网址,后文提到了某种做法是必要的,可知本句是在说明具体做法。故C项“你还得深入研究一下这些网站是否值得信赖”符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Look at the quotes in a story. Or rather, look at the lack of quotes. Most reliable publications quote multiple sources who are professionals in the fields they talk about.(看看故事中引语。或者更确切地说,看看没有引用。大多数可靠的出版物引用了他们所谈论的领域的专业人士的多个来源)”可知,本段主要建议通过引用来判断,F选项中sources对应上文sources。故F项“如果文章讨论的问题很重要,文章会引用更多、更可靠的信息来源”符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据本段主题句“Search for the images in the story.(搜索故事中的图像)”及空后“You can do this by right-clicking on the images and choosing to search for them.(您可以通过右键单击图像并选择搜索它们来做到这一点)”可知,本段主要建议搜索图片,且后文提到了搜索方法,E选项中search for the photos对应search for them。故E项“做一点侦查工作,在搜索引擎上搜索这些照片”符合语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Stop the spreading of misinformation. If you see your friends sharing obviously unreliable information, kindly tell them it’s not real.(停止错误信息的传播。如果你看到你的朋友分享明显不可靠的信息,请告诉他们这不是真的)”谈到发现朋友传播明显不可靠的信息时要及时阻止,空后“Everyone should help fix the misinformation problem.( 每个人都应该帮助解决错误信息的问题)”则说我们每个人都有义务阻止不可靠信息的传播。故G项“尽管这种谈话会让人不痛快,我们也得提醒”正好起到了过渡作用。故选G。
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. D 46. D 47. A 48. C 49. A 50. B 51. D 52. C 53. B 54. D 55. A

With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most. Just then, my nephew caught sight of an old woman in a wheelchair nearby. “I think she’s the very person for the flower. She lives a hard life because of bad health. She needs smiles most,” said my nephew. With these words, my nephew, followed by my niece, took the flower up to her. You can imagine how happy the old woman looked! She smiled, and gave each of the kids a big kiss.
It turned out to be a great day for us. We spread a lot of smiles by giving out flowers, and received a lot of smiles in return. The flowers not only made us feel good about ourselves, but also made 40 other people feel happy. I feel there is nothing more enjoyable than being friendly to people. Meanwhile, the kids learned an important lesson in the process. In fact, they can’t wait until next time they have such a chance again. They want to give out more flowers!

In 2022, Glenna Osborne’s father, Ronald Osborne, passed away, causing the family to sort through his belongings in preparation for his memorial service. During this emotional task, they discovered a handwritten note from Ronald dedicated to his dear friend and fellow firefighter, Eddie Coleman, with whom he had fought side by side in countless fires over the years.
The note, which bore a profound message, read: “For firefighter and special friend Eddie, who saved my life. John 15:13, ‘Greater love has no one than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.’” Although Ronald had often mentioned to his family that Coleman had once rescued him, he had never explained on the details. Filled with a deep desire to uncover more about her late father’s past, Glenna decided to contact Coleman and request the full account of that fateful day.
Coleman recounted the terrifying incident, which had occurred when he was merely 21 and Ronald just 19. They had been sent to a burning two-story house, its structure already consumed by flames. As Glenna later described, “Eddie and my father found themselves battling the fire from the rooftop when suddenly, my father lost his footing and began to fall suddenly through the weakened roof.” With lightning-fast reactions, Coleman seized the collar of Ronald’s firefighter coat and, through sheer determination, managed to pull him back to safety — a split-second act that Ronald had always maintained spared him from certain death.
Prior to this life-changing event, the two men had shared a strong bond, but the tough experience on that rooftop created an unbreakable tie between them, a friendship that endured until Ronald’s final days.
For Glenna, hearing Coleman’s firsthand account provided not only clarity but also a profound appreciation for her father’s unwavering loyalty to his friend. “I am eternally grateful to Eddie for his bravery and quick thinking,” she reflected. “Had it not been for his heroic actions, my father would not have survived, and none of us would be here today. Our family owes him a debt that can never be repaid.”
24. Why did Ronald quote “John 15:13” in his note to Eddie?
A. To remind Eddie of their shared religious beliefs.
B. To indirectly criticize the risks of their profession.
C. To understate the significance of the rescue event.
D. To express gratitude that surpassed ordinary friendship.
25. Why did Glenna feel strongly pushed to contact Coleman after finding the note?
A. To search for her father’s belongings.
B. To collect evidence for a potential biography.
C. To check the accuracy of firefighting methods.
D. To gain deeper insight into her father’s life story.
26. What can be inferred about Ronald and Coleman’s relationship before the incident?
A. They were merely acquaintances.
B. They competed with each other for promotions.
C. They had established a solid friendship previously.
D. They maintained a strictly professional cooperation.
27. What best describes Coleman’s character as demonstrated in the incident?
A. Selfless and decisive. B. Persistent and cautious.
C. Disciplined and respectful. D. Passionate and sympathetic.
C
Cutting carbon emissions(排放)is not enough to keep global warming to less than 1.5℃—the goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. Not anymore, at least. As a result, hundreds of start-ups trying to remove greenhouse gases from the air and water have sprung up within the past few years. While land-based carbon dioxide removal projects have been undergoing testing and development for decades, ocean-based carbon removal is more recent in the push to fight against climate change. And one of the leaders in that field—Equatic—is about to increase its efforts in a big way.
What began three years ago as a US Department of Energy-funded research project out of the University of California Los Angeles has already grown into a pair of pilot projects in Los Angeles and Singapore. And now, the company has its sights set on building a massive marine carbon capture(海洋碳捕获)facility in Quebec.
The process for capturing carbon begins by pumping seawater into a tank and then using an electrical current to break down the water into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) gases and a solution, which is then reacted with the air, pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and chemically transforming it into two byproducts. One, calcium carbonate, is a white powder. The other is a solution that gets released back into the ocean.
The proposed Quebec plant differs significantly from Equatic’s existing facilities. Its Singaporean pilot facility can process 4,000 tonnes of carbon each year. The planned Quebec facility, meanwhile, will be capable of processing 110,000 tonnes annually—about as much carbon as is emitted by 24,000 cars.
Ultimately, though, the young industry is full of uncertainties. So far, research on marine carbon removal has been based on lab experiments and trials. So as Equatic’s planned Quebec plant moves ahead, scientists will be watching to learn more about its environmental impact and about just how effective marine carbon dioxide removal can really be.

Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.
Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted.
A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas, including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”.
Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.
A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology.
32. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1?
A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people.
C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects.
33. Which is one of the main findings of the research?
A. Less ability to compare themselves to others.
B. Worse control over emotions.
C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement.
D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions.
34. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______.
A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants.
C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear?
B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm?
C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year?
D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain?

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Recently I graduated from high school. The afternoon sun warmed my graduation cap as I stared at the mountain of flowers crowding my room-bunches of flowers from family and friends, forty to be exact! Roses, daisies, and lilies spilled across every surface, their sweet scent overwhelming. “How will I ever…” My thought was interrupted by sudden giggles.
Six-year-old Sue and seven-year-old Mike exploded into the room, eyes widening at the floral jungle. “Auntie, are you opening a flower shop?” Mike asked, poking a sunflower taller than himself. Sue pressed her nose into a pink rose, sneezing dramatically.
An idea bloomed. “Let’s give these to strangers!” I announced. The kids froze mid-giggle. “Why?” Sue frowned. “To grow smiles,” I explained, showing them blank cards. “We’ll write nice notes!” Cheerful creativity followed. Mike’s cards read “SMILE!!” in colourful capitals, while Sue drew rainbow hearts. We tied them to the flowers’ stems with ribbons.
Our first target stood at the park entrance-Officer Martinez, who was directing traffic, Sue dashed forward. “Flower for you!” she shouted, stretching her tiny arm upward. The officer’s stern face melted into a sunrise smile. “Made my day, kiddo,” he said, pinning the daisy to his uniform.
Next, we approached Mr. Thompson, our grumpy bus driver. “Flower for making our rides safe!” Mike declared. The man’s coffee-stained mustache twitched. “Kids these days…” he muttered, placing the lily carefully beside his timetable.
By noon, our basket neared empty. Thirty-eight flowers had found homes-a tired bus driver, a lonely bench-sitter, a laughing child and so on. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, a girl with blue-streaked hair, held her breath when Sue offered the flower. “For me? Nobody’s ever gave me a flower!” Her voice cracked as she tucked it behind her ear. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! “For the flower angles,” she grinned. The kids’ eyes lit brighter than their cookie sprinkles. As they ate the cookies, “Best cookies ever!” Sue and Mike exclaimed with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: With just one flower left I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
