A.Travel.B.Education.C.Fashion. D.Finance. B The South Bronx is one of the poorest and most polluted places in America,with smog-choked freeways and smelly wastewater treatment plants. "We're a dumping ground,"Omar explains."All the garbage from the rest of New York City ends up here." But Omar started looking at garbage in a different way."A lot of what people throw 第1页共8页 away is perfectly good,"he says."Just look at that stuff from construction sites-doors, sinks,toilets.People will buy those things.It's only called garbage because somebody threw it away."Omar was just out of college and working for an environmental group called Sustainable South Bronx when he started considering how to get this"good garbage" to people who could use it.Instead of destroying old things,why not clean them up and resell them?Why not hire people in the community to do the work?Better yet,why not make this business a"cooperative,"which means the people working in the business own it and share the profits? Out of this,Omar started the first cooperative in the country dedicated to reusing construction waste.To start his business,Omar put up flyers along the truck-jammed, trash-filled neighborhood streets,looking for people to work with him.He soon found four other dedicated workers.They rented a warehouse and started looking for donations of used materials. In April 2008,Omar's cooperative,ReBuilders Source,opened its business and began selling construction supplies-at reasonable prices-to neighborhood builders and home owners.With the help of city officials,he also began planning a new training program to help local residents learn the skills to get good jobs that help the environment and even start their own cooperatives.Workers were trained to carefully take buildings apart so that things like doors and windows can be reused instead of being smashed and sent off to a landfill.Deconstructing buildings this way could be a huge industry with many good jobs for people who need them. “If you have a use for something,”Omar says,“it's no longer waste.” 4.Why is the South Bronx mentioned in the first paragraph? A.To arouse readers'interest. B.To serve as the background information. C.To contrast with the other districts.D.To introduce a famous place. 5.Which was Not the reason for Omar's creating a cooperative business? A.To provide jobs for local people. B.To deal with dumped rubbish. C.To increase cooperation among neighbors.D.To make money from garbage. 6.Which of the following words best describe Omar? A.Idealistic and business-minded. B.Creative and action-oriented. C.Practical and self-focused. D.Devoted and iron-hearted. 7.Which saying might interpret Omar's action? A.Knowledge starts with practice B.One good turn deserves another. C.Four eyes see more than two. D.Kill two birds with one stone. C At any bus stop or in a queue,most people couldn't help keeping their heads down, scrolling()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 第2页共8页 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,Vekony 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 immediately 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 While teenagers who are at risk of depression with risky behaviors-drinking alcohol,smoking cigarettes and cutting classes often alert parents and teachers that serious problems are brewing,a new study finds that there's another group of adolescents who are in nearly as much danger of experiencing the same mental symptoms. These teens use tons of media,get insufficient sleep and have a sedentary(不爱活s动的) 第3页共8页 lifestyle.Of course,that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet.But the study warns that it is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme that are truly in a dangerous position.Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag,these young people have been called the"invisible risk"group by the study's authors. The study's authors surveyed 15,395 students and analyzed nine risk behaviors, including excessive alcohol use,illegal drug use,heavy smoking and high media use.Their aim was to determine the relationship between these risk behaviors and mental health issues in teenagers.The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression;in all,nearly 15%of this group reported being depressed,compared with just 4%of the low-risk group.But the invisible group wasn't far behind the high-risk set,with more than 13%of them exhibiting depression. The findings caught Carli off guard."We didn't expect that,"he says."The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious,but this third group was not only unexpected.It was so distinct and so larger-nearly one third of our sample-that it became a key finding of the study.” Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early warning signs for parents,teachers and mental health-care providers.And early identifications,support and treatment for mental health issues,he says,are the best ways to keep them from turning into full-blown disorders. 12.Which teenager probably belongs to the"invisible group"? A.A teenager who drinks frequently.B.A teenager who exercises regularly. C.A teenager who skips school. D.A teenager who suffers from a lack of sleep. 13.What can we know about the new study? A.It revealed an alarming rate of the invisible group suffering depression B.Its findings were under expectation of the research team. C.It was intended to dig into the reasons for depression. D.It was conducted by analyzing and comparing the previous data. 14.What is Carli's attitude toward the findings? A.Unclear.B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Indifferent. 15.The author wrote this passage to A.introduce a new therapy for teens'mental disorder B.caution teens against developing unhealthy habits C.share a novel psychological experiment with teens D.warn about the unobserved signals for teens'mental problems 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项 The Happy Person's Retreat(退让)Principle Many people regard giving in to conflicts as weakness or surrender.Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept:the Happy Person's Retreat Principle.16 It is a wise,rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity () The core logic behind this principle is easy to understand.People living stable, 第4页共8页 fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish:warm families,healthy bodies,steady careers and inner peace.17 In contrast,those trapped in negative lives have little to lose,so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight. 18 Imagine you encounter a rude fight on the road.If you choose to fight back angrily,you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict.The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood,precious time and even personal safety.However,stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately. This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment.19 When your basic rights,personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated,you have every reason to defend yourself firmly.Retreat only works when the conflict is meaningless and brings no positive value to your life. Learning to apply this psychological rule brings lasting benefits.It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful.20 True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute. A.Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly B.It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you. C.Many people misunderstand the real meaning of personal happiness. D.We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts. E.Blind giving-in will only encourage others to treat you improperly. F.It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts. G.Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness. 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。 Growing up on the Tongan island of Vava'u,Silva McLeod didn't know being a pilot was a possible career.Flying was a 21 for little Silva.She knew her future was quite 22 -she would marry and have babies like the other women there.But every time an aircraft flew over,she 23 raced outside to see,fascinated by the people operating these machines.

D While teenagers who are at risk of depression with risky behaviors — drinking alcohol,smoking cigarettes and cutting classes often alert parents and teachers that serious problems are brewing, a new study finds that there’s another group of adolescents who are in nearly as much danger of experiencing the same mental symptoms. These teens use tons of media, get insufficient sleep and have a sedentary (不爱活动的) lifestyle. Of course, that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet. But the study warns that it is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme that are truly in a dangerous position. Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these young people have been called the“invisible risk” group by the study’s authors. The study’s authors surveyed 15,395 students and analyzed nine risk behaviors, including excessive alcohol use, illegal drug use, heavy smoking and high media use. Their aim was to determine the relationship between these risk behaviors and mental health issues in teenagers.The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression; in all, nearly 15% of this group reported being depressed, compared with just 4% of the low-risk group. But the invisible group wasn’t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% of them exhibiting depression. The findings caught Carli off guard. “We didn’t expect that,” he says. “The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious, but this third group was not only unexpected. It was so distinct and so larger — nearly one third of our sample — that it became a key finding of the study.” Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early warning signs for parents, teachers and mental health-care providers. And early identifications, support and treatment for mental health issues, he says, are the best ways to keep them from turning into full-blown disorders. 12. Which teenager probably belongs to the“invisible group”? A. A teenager who drinks frequently. B. A teenager who exercises regularly. C. A teenager who skips school. D. A teenager who suffers from a lack of sleep. 13. What can we know about the new study? A. It revealed an alarming rate of the invisible group suffering depression. B. Its findings were under expectation of the research team. C.It was intended to dig into the reasons for depression. D. It was conducted by analyzing and comparing the previous data. 14. What is Carli’s attitude toward the findings? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C.Positive. D. Indifferent. 15. The author wrote this passage to ________. A. introduce a new therapy for teens’ mental disorder B. caution teens against developing unhealthy habits C. share a novel psychological experiment with teens D. warn about the unobserved signals for teens’ mental problems 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 Happy Person’s Retreat (退让) Principle Many people regard giving in to conflicts as weakness or surrender. Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept: the Happy Person’s Retreat Principle. ____16___ It is a wise, rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity (怯懦). The core logic behind this principle is easy to understand. People living stable, fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish: warm families, healthy bodies, steady careers and inner peace. ____17____ In contrast, those trapped in negative lives have little to lose, so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight. ____18____ Imagine you encounter a rude fight on the road. If you choose to fight back angrily, you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict. The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood, precious time and even personal safety. However, stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately. This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment. ____19____ When your basic rights, personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated, you have every reason to defend yourself firmly. Retreat only works when the conflict is meaningless and brings no positive value to your life. Learning to apply this psychological rule brings lasting benefits. It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful. ____20____ True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute. A. Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly. B. It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you. C. Many people misunderstand the real meaning of personal happiness. D. We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts. E. Blind giving-in will only encourage others to treat you improperly. F. It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts. G. Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness. 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。 Growing up on the Tongan island of Vava’u, Silva McLeod didn’t know being a pilot was a possible career.
