Sometimes, people try to be positive all the time, even when someone is sad or upset. This is called toxic positivity. It happens when people are told to ignore their negative feelings and only think about good things. A survey was done at Ashton Secondary School in July. It included 500 students aged 12-18. The students were asked about their experiences with toxic positivity. They were also asked which statements were most comforting when they felt sad. The survey found that many students did not feel better when others told them to “look on the bright side” or “other people have it worse”. These statements often made students feel guilty or ignored. For example, Charlie, 12, said that when his pet dog died, someone told him to cheer up. This made him feel worse because he thought he should not be sad. Iris, 18, said that when friends told her to focus on the good things in her life after failing an important exam, it did not help. She felt that people did not understand her sadness. About 42% of students experienced toxic positivity once in the past year. Another 31% said they experienced it more than once, while 27% said they did not experience it at all. Many students said that these “positive” messages were not useful when they were facing problems. Instead, they appreciated statements that accepted their feelings, such as “That must be really hard”, “I’m here if you need to talk.” and “Is there anything I can do to help?” The survey shows that listening and understanding are more important than always trying to make someone feel better. People need to be allowed to feel sad or angry. Supportive words that respect emotions help students feel understood and less alone. In conclusion, toxic positivity can be harmful. True support comes from listening, empathy and kindness, not from forcing someone to be happy. 1．What is “toxic positivity”? A．Encourage themselves to stay cheerful even when upset. B．Share negative feelings and ask others for advice. C．Accept negative feelings and focus on bad things. D．Push away sad feelings and focus on good things. 2．Which sentence can comfort sad students? A．That must be really hard. B．Look on the bright side. C．You are lucky. Stop thinking about it. D．Cheer up. Everything will be fine soon. 3．How did Charlie feel after his dog died when others told him to cheer up? A．It made him feel ignored, as if his sadness did not matter. B．He felt worse, because he thought he should not be sad. C．He tried to calm down and stop thinking about it. D．The words gave him hope that he would feel better soon. 4．Which pie chart matches the survey data? A． B． C． D． 5．Which of the following works best for someone feeling sad? A．Advice, rules and strong control. B．Silence, time and being alone. C．Jokes, gifts and good news. D．Attention, understanding and kindness. 6．What is the writer’s attitude towards toxic positivity? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Uncertain. 二、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) Winning awards is always exciting, but can you imagine students winning big prizes just for showing up at school? A school in Manchester, UK, offers students rewards including bikes, £100 gift vouchers for their perfect attendance records. The school runs a so-called “rewards shop”, where students can use the credit points they earn to buy raffle tickets (抽奖券) and compete for those big prizes. Do you think that is a wise move? Yes-it makes school a lot more appealing Giving pupils prizes for good attendance makes them feel that their efforts are valued. This practice can not only motivate students to go to school regularly, but also help them build a positive attitude towards school life. Besides, when students win prizes, they can share them with their family, which in turn can help create a happier atmosphere at home. Winning a computer for your family or a pizza party for your class is exciting—after all, students couldn’t afford to buy them with pocket money. For many years, schools have used systems like reward points to encourage pupils. Giving prizes is just a creative way to acknowledge a pupil’s hard work and attendance. No-learning matters more than prizes Receiving a good education has its own benefits—it changes your life for the better. You shouldn’t depend on the hope of winning prizes to make you attend. Worse still, this reward system may distract students from their studies. Some students may become more focused on prizes or envy their classmates’ rewards than on lessons. Putting in the effort just for the chance to win something might drive students to attend school, but it doesn’t prepare them for the adult world where people are expected to act responsibly. What’s more, offering gifts for good attendance could lead some pupils to go to school even when they’re sick, when they should stay at home and rest. As a matter of fact, over the past two years, some schools that reward pupils have seen their absence (缺席) rates fall. While rewards can boost attendance, true learning should be the main goal. A good balance is the key. 1．What can students in the UK school use to get raffle tickets for big prizes? A．Pocket money from their family. B．Credit points they earn at school. C．Good exam results in all subjects. D．Letters of praise from teachers. 2．Which of the following is NOT a reward mentioned in the passage? A．A bicycle. B．A £100 gift voucher. C．A pizza party for the class. D．A summer camp trip. 3．The underlined word “acknowledge” in the passage probably means ________. A．highlight B．respect C．recognize D．record 4．What is a negative effect of giving big prizes for attendance mentioned in the passage? A．Students may spend too much time choosing prizes. B．It may cause jealousy among students. C．Schools might run out of money to buy prizes. D．Teachers will have to organize the reward system. 5．What is the main focus of the passage? A．To compare different reward systems in UK schools. B．To discuss whether schools should give prizes for good attendance. C．To explain how “rewards shops” work in Manchester. D．To argue that going to school has its own benefits. 6．Based on the passage, which of the following would the author most probably agree? A．Rewarding attendance with expensive prizes is harmful to students’ motivation. B．Schools should focus only on academic achievements rather than on attendance rates. C．Though rewards may improve attendance, they should not take away from the point of going to school. D．Giving small prizes is acceptable, but large prizes like bikes are improper and should be stopped. 三、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) During her lunch break, Li Qing, a 28-year-old office worker, often goes to a health center in a Chongqing mall. She enjoys massage and other traditional Chinese treatments. “This is my secret way to fight tiredness from work,” Li says, showing her phone with a pass for three sessions. Inside, the smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixes with the aroma of coffee from a nearby shop. This is a common picture of the growing health trend among young people in Chinese cities. From healthy drinks to smartwatches, young Chinese are starting a new health trend. They are mixing science, personalization, and modern life. For them, staying well is a daily task to make life better. A recent report shows that young people aged 18 to 35 have become the main group buying health products. They make up over 80% of health consumers in China. Nowadays, young people are willing to pay for good health products and like services made just for them. In front of a hospital, a shop selling special herbal milk tea is always crowded. A hospital nutrition director explains, “Our drinks mix TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) with modern food technology.” Her team has created over 40 different health foods, like gummies and pastries that are good for you. Because more young people are interested in TCM, the hospital’s nutrition department has 30-35% more visitors every year. Technology also plays a big part. For instance, when the smartwatch vibrates after you sit for 90 minutes, it means you should stand up to do some light exercise. The health app records your activity at the same time. Three main trends are noted: using data to manage health, using traditional therapies in new ways, and making wellness enjoyable. To the young, wellness is no longer just advice from elders, but something they can track with numbers every day. 1．What does Li Qing do during her lunch break to stay energetic? A．She drinks coffee in a mall. B．She goes shopping with friends. C．She has a massage and TCM treatments. D．She uses apps to check her health data. 2．What does the word “personalization” (in Para.2) probably mean in the passage? A．Something that is very popular. B．Something that is made for a large group. C．Something that is made specially for one person. D．Something that uses modern technology. 3．What is one reason for the increase in visitors to the hospital’s nutrition department? A．The hospital started selling smartwatches. B．More young people are interested in TCM. C．The price of health products has gone down. D．The department moved to a new building. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Coffee shops in malls are becoming less popular. B．Young people in China are creating new ways to manage their health. C．Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only way to stay healthy.

A．Using data to customize their health routines. B．Making wellness activities enjoyable. C．Re-inventing traditional therapies. D．Relying only on advice from their elders. 四、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month on the traditional Chinese calendar, is one of the most cherished traditional festivals in many East Asian cultures. Beyond the mooncakes and lanterns, the fascinating legends and folklore about the festival are passed down through generations. One famous story is about Chang’e, the Moon Goddess. Her husband, Hou Yi, was a hero who saved the world. He got a magic medicine for immortality. To prevent the elixir from falling into the wrong hands, Chang’e drank it and flew to the moon, where she lives forever. Now, people look at the moon during the festival and remember her. Another story is about the Jade Rabbit. It was a kind rabbit that offered its body to feed a hungry beggar, who was actually an immortal. The immortal was so moved that he let the rabbit live forever on the moon, making magic medicine. There is also a historical story called the Mooncake Uprising. A long time ago, people hid secret messages inside mooncakes to plan a rebellion against their rulers. These stories make the festival more meaningful. They teach us about love, sacrifice, and unity, and show how stories help keep culture alive. 1．According to the passage, why did Chang’e drink the elixir of immortality?

Good friends can bring joy, support, and a sense of belonging. However, maintaining healthy friendships is not always easy, especially during the teenage years when emotions and social situations are constantly changing. One common challenge that teenagers face is peer pressure. Sometimes, friends may encourage each other to do things that are unwise or even dangerous, such as skipping class, trying smoking, or spreading gossip about others. Learning to say “no” in a polite but firm way is an important skill. Teenagers who are confident in their own values are less likely to be influenced by negative peer pressure. Another difficulty is miscommunication. In the age of social media, many misunderstandings happen through text messages or online posts. A short message without a smiley face might be read as cold or unfriendly, even when the sender did not mean it that way. Experts suggest that teenagers should talk face-to-face when they have an important or sensitive issue to discuss. Written words cannot always express true feelings clearly. Jealousy (嫉妒) is also a common problem in teenage friendships. When a close friend makes new friends or spends more time with someone else, it is natural to feel left out or upset. However, feeling jealous too often can damage the relationship. Instead of keeping these inside, teenagers should express their worries honestly and give their friends space to grow. A healthy friendship allows both people to have other friends and interests. Trust is the foundation of any strong relationship. Without trust, a friendship can easily break down. Being reliable, keeping secrets, and showing up when you say you will are all ways to foster trust. Teenagers who are trustworthy often find it easier to make and keep good friends. Finally, it is important to remember that not every friendship will last forever. People change, move away, or grow apart over time. This is a normal part of life. Letting go of a friendship that no longer brings positivity can be painful, but it also opens the door to new connections that better match who you are becoming. In conclusion, teenage friendships require effort, understanding, and patience. By learning to handle peer pressure, communicate clearly, manage jealousy, build trust, and accept change, teenagers can develop strong and meaningful relationships that support them through life. 1．According to the passage, a text message without a smiley face might be seen as ________. A．funny B．unfriendly C．honest D．careless 2．What does the writer say about peer pressure? A．It is the most difficult challenge for teenagers to deal with.

Last Saturday, I was at Tom’s house, playing games with my friends. We were having a great time until Jake, one of my friends, mentioned “Space”, which is one of my favorite games. “Oh, that game is a waste of time,” Jake said. The others agreed. I love that game, but I didn’t want to argue, so I just went along with them. As we moved onto another game, I felt a strange mix of feelings. I had just experienced peer (同龄人) pressure. It felt like I had to agree with my friends, even if it meant ignoring (忽略) what I truly enjoyed. It was a bit uncomfortable. Later, I thought about what Dr. Casey had said: Teens make good decisions alone but can be influenced in social situations. Teens might have trouble in controlling risky behavior around friends or when angry. It made sense. I realized I needed to care more about my decisions. But I also remembered the positive side. My friend Sarah had invited me to volunteer at an animal center. At first, I was not sure about that, but I ended up loving it. And when my friends study hard, it encourages me, too. True friends encourage each other to do good things. I decide that while I’m influenced by those around me, the final decision is mine. I need to recognize good peer pressure from bad and learn to deal with it. I want to stand up for what I believe in, even if it means going against the group sometimes. It’s not easy, but it’s important. 1．Why did Derick agree with his friends about the game “Space”? A．To avoid arguing. B．To change the subject. C．To support Jake’s opinion. D．To show he disliked the game. 2．How did Derick feel after he agreed with his friends? A．Sorry. B．Excited. C．Uncomfortable. D．Embarrassed. 3．Put the following events about Derick into the correct order according to the passage. a. He felt peer pressure. b. He played games with his friends. c. He thought about Dr. Casey’s words. d. He decides to stand up for what he believes in. A．a-b-c-d B．a-c-b-d C．a-b-d-c D．b-a-c-d 4．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Music and Movies. B．Teenager Life. C．Natural World. D．Amazing Animals. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Day at Tom’s House. B．My Experience with Peer Pressure.

What makes someone a good doctor, therapist or parent? What guides policy-makers to make wise and moral decisions? Many believe that empathy (同理心) — the ability to experience the feelings of others, and particularly others’ suffering — is essential to all of these roles. I argue that this is a mistake, often a tragic one. Empathy acts like a spotlight, focusing one’s attention on a single individual. This can have positive effects, but it can also lead to short-sighted and unfair moral actions. And it is subject to bias (偏见). Both laboratory studies and actual experiences show that empathy flows most for those who look like us, who are attractive and who are non-threatening and familiar. Empathy has its place, but reason should guide action. For example, when we realize that a crisis such as climate change has great significance, we are going beyond empathy. A good policy maker makes decisions using reason. He or she hopes to achieve the sort of fairness and impartiality (不偏不倚) that empathy doesn’t provide. Empathy isn’t just a reflex (下意识反应), of course. We can choose to empathize and stir empathy for others. But this flexibility can be a curse (祸根). Our empathy can be used by others, as when cunning (狡猾的) politicians use our empathy to stir up hatred (仇恨) against certain groups of people. For those in caring professions — including doctors, nurses, teachers and social workers — compassion and understanding are critically important. However, feeling the suffering of others too strongly can lead to exhaustion, burnout and ineffective work. No good doctor is filled with anxiety when working with an anxious patient. The writer Leslie Jamison has a great description of this. “His calmness didn’t make me feel abandoned; it made me feel secure,” she wrote as she described a good doctor who had helped her. “I wanted to look at him and see the opposite of my fear, not its echo.” Many of life’s deepest pleasures, such as engagement with novels, movies and television, require empathic connection. But when it comes to being a good person, there are better alternatives. 1．What is the author’s main viewpoint on empathy? A．Empathy is the most important quality for all professionals. B．Empathy has weaknesses and reason matters more for proper decisions. C．Empathy always brings fair and far-sighted moral judgments. D．Empathy is equally given to every person we meet. 2．How is the passage mainly organized? (篇章结构题) A．List different opinions → compare pros and cons of empathy → choose the best one B．Introduce the definition of empathy → discuss its history → summarize its use C．Raise questions → list several facts → give solutions to social problems D．Put forward an opinion → explain drawbacks with different examples → draw a conclusion 3．Who is most likely to receive people’s empathy according to Paragraph 3? A．Strangers with totally different appearances. B．Unfriendly and unfamiliar strangers. C．Attractive people similar to ourselves. D．People from unknown distant regions. 4．What will a wise policymaker depend on to handle big crises like climate change? A．Pure and strong personal empathy B．Personal preference for familiar crowds C．Natural emotional reflex of empathy D．Rational thinking rather than only empathy 5．What harm may too much empathy bring to medical workers? A．Full energy and efficient work B．Tiredness and poor work performance C．Peaceful mood and secure service D．Freedom from anxiety and pressure 6．What can we learn from Leslie Jamison’s words about a good doctor? A．He shares all patients’ fears and feels upset. B．He keeps calm and brings safety to patients. C．He copes with patients’ negative feelings completely. D．He falls into anxiety along with sick people. 四、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) No one wants to go on a fun trip but end up spending the whole time running to the bathroom! While bad seafood might cause a stomachache, the trip itself can also upset your stomach. Your stomach is full of tiny helpers that work to digest (消化) your food. But when you travel, things change. Sitting for too long, changing time zones (时区), and not sleeping on time can all make your stomach feel uncomfortable. For one thing, sitting on a plane or in a car for hours can squeeze your stomach. This slows down how food moves, and your stomach may feel uncomfortable. Also, your body has a “daily clock” that helps it know when to eat, sleep, and even poop (排便) But when you travel far, this clock gets mixed up. You might not go to the bathroom like you normally do. Sleep matters, too. If you don’t get enough sleep, your stomach can become upset. You may even feel like eating a lot of sweet snacks, which can make things worse. The good news? You can stop stomach troubles before they start! Try standing up and stretching (伸展) every hour on the plane or during long car rides. If you’re flying across time zones, begin changing your bedtime a few days early to help your body get used to the new time. And before your trip, be sure to sleep well every night. A rested body is a happy body, and that means a happy stomach, too. So remember: move, sleep, and plan early. That way, your trip can be full of fun, not bathroom runs! 1．According to Paragraph 2, what can upset your stomach when you travel? ①Changing time zones. ②Sitting for a long time. ③Drinking too little water. ④Sleeping at different times than usual. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 2．What does the underlined word “squeeze” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．放松 B．保护 C．清洗 D．挤压 3．If someone sleeps poorly before a trip, what might happen? A．They may want to eat sweet snacks. B．Their ability to digest food may improve. C．Their body temperature might rise a little. D．They might not notice time zone changes. 4．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The best foods to eat while traveling. B．Different kinds of stomach problems. C．The causes of an upset stomach during travel. D．Ways to help your stomach feel better when traveling. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To show how digestion works. B．To warn people not to travel too often. C．To describe how food can make the stomach feel bad. D．To explain stomach problems during trips and give advice. 五、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) In the busy city with tall buildings, firefighters rush into action when they hear an alarm. They have only one minute to get dressed, and then run to a burning building. They have to come into it, knowing that floors could break and ceilings (天花板) could fall. But firefighters like Steve are ready to help, no matter how dangerous it is. Steve used to work in an office, sitting in front of the computer all day long. Now, he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat to save lives. “I’d like to be on my feet more, working with my hands, and doing a job that is different every day,” he says. That’s a simple way to describe a job that requires bravery and a cool head while fighting a fire. But Steve says that fire and fear can be overcome (克服) through endless training in both body and mind. Steve used to be a runner in college, but today he often runs to train his body for dangerous situations. He might climb hundreds of steps, carrying heavy things or people. He must control his breathing so that he won’t run out of it. Being a firefighter isn’t just about being physically strong. Steve also needs to think a lot and keep learning about medicine, building design and science, for example, quickly understanding how a fire changes. “________,” Steve says. “I’m always learning something new through it.” Steve has changed a lot since he went from working with computers to being a firefighter. He believes that he has made the right choice (选择).

The event was made to praise teenagers who help others in small but important ways. Teachers, parents and students came to see the winners. The Young Creative Award went to 14-year-old Jack Miller. Jack made short online videos to teach Makaton, a way to communicate using simple signs and pictures while speaking. Jack started learning it because his little sister sometimes found it hard to say what she needed. At first, he only wanted to help at home. Later, he found out other families had the same problem, so he shared easy lessons like “thank you”, “help”, and “I feel worried.” Now students at his school use his videos to learn a few signs. Jack said, “If more people can understand each other, fewer people will feel alone.” The Inclusivity Award was given to the Riverbridge School Music Group for a project called Many Voices. This award is for groups that make sure everyone feels welcome, no matter where they come from. In Many Voices, the music group played a new piece written by Layla Brown, a young black music writer. Before the show, the students shared short stories about their families. Their teacher said, “Music should be a place where everyone belongs.” The last award, the Helping Hands Group Award, was given to New Steps, a student group started by teenagers. New Steps helps new classmates find classrooms, join clubs and feel safe at school. They also run a “buddy lunch” each week, so new students don’t have to sit alone. Their leader, Sophie Bennett, said, “If we can light a small lamp for others, hope will travel farther.” 1．Why did Jack start learning Makaton? A．To win an award at school.

With his hard work, he managed to send his eldest son Francis to school. To his pride, Francis was always highly praised by teachers. One day, Jean received a call from Francis’ teacher. He was told that Francis usually fell asleep in class for a whole week. When Francis got home for dinner, Jean spoke to him seriously, “Son, I’ve heard you didn’t listen to your teacher carefully. Is that so?” Francis looked down and said, “Yes, Dad.” Jean wanted to say something, but when he looked at the thin, small body of his son, his heart melted. “OK. I won’t scold (责备) you. But be a good boy, will you?” Francis nodded. A week later, Jean was invited to the school. What made him more disappointed was that Francis was sleepy more often than before. That evening, silence hung heavy while they were having dinner. But when Jean remembered what the teacher had said, the storm broke. “Francis, your teacher told me about your behaviour. I’ve been trying very hard to keep you in school. I copied many written materials in my spare time for extra money. And I don’t want to hear again that you fall asleep in class!” Francis said nothing, dropping his head and dragging himself up to his small bedroom in the attic. Jean couldn’t fall asleep that night. He was a little bit sorry to have been so fierce toward his son. “I should apologize to my son,” he thought. He climbed up the stairs. As he went closer and closer to the attic, he found Francis was writing very fast on some paper—not his homework but piles of documents across the desk. Jean called out softly, “Son…” he went up to little Francis and held him tightly. Feeling the warmth of his father’s body, Francis looked up with his tired and red eyes and whispered, “Dad, I will get my pay soon. I just hope you won’t be so tired.” 1．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to Paragraph 1? A．Jean worked overtime to support his family. B．There were four people in Jean’s family. C．Francis was a model student in his father’s eyes. D．Jean was too busy to care about his son. 2．Why didn’t Jean scold Francis during their first talk? A．Because Francis admitted he slept in class. B．Because he couldn’t bear to scold his thin, small son. C．Because he believed Francis would change by himself. D．Because Francis was often praised by teachers. 3．The sentence “the storm broke.” showed that Jean was ________. A．afraid B．angry C．surprised D．worried 4．What is the correct order of the following events? ① Jean figured out the truth. ② Jean decided to apologize. ③ Francis walked upstairs. ④ Jean held Francis tightly.

Most people voted “Yes,” and there are four main reasons behind their choice. Reason Number of votes 1 91 2 134 3 119 4 166 Reason 1: AI actors never get tired or fall ill, so they can work for longer periods of time. Reason 2: AI actors cost less than human actors. This can help producers save money and make more movies and TV series. Reason 3: AI actors can be designed to look like almost anyone, including historical figures. Reason 4: AI actors can handle challenging and risky scenes more easily. For example, they can jump from tall buildings without the risk of getting hurt. CommentsJack203 In my opinion, both AI actors and real actors have their own strengths. Perhaps they can work together in the future. Human actors bring real emotions to the screen, making films more touching. AI actors, on the other hand, can take on more difficult roles.Sonny111 This discussion is really thought-provoking. Real actors can give more natural performances, while AI actors can keep working without needing breaks. Perhaps the best solution is to find a balance between the two. 1．The author of the report held the online vote to find out ________. A．what kinds of roles AI actors can play B．why AI actors are becoming more popular C．whether people support the use of AI actors D．how many people enjoy watching AI-made movies 2．Which reason received the most support in the online vote? A．AI actors never get tired. B．AI actors cost less money. C．AI actors can easily handle risky scenes. D．AI actors can be made to look like historical figures. 3．The underlined word “thought-provoking” in the second comment probably means “making people ________.” A．laugh B．feel bored C．feel angry D．think deeply 4．According to Jack203, what is one advantage of real actors? A．They can work longer hours. B．They are more affordable than AI actors. C．They can bring real emotions to the screen. D．They can perform difficult roles more easily. 5．What can we infer from Sonny111’s comment? A．He thinks AI actors are better than real actors. B．He thinks the discussion is not worth the time. C．He believes that AI actors will soon replace real actors. D．He believes we should use both AI and real actors wisely. 四、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) As a young child, I remember being fascinated by the outdoors. My mum used to take my sister and me to the woods near our house. She thought it was important for us to learn about the natural world. She would show us different trees and plants, and we would learn to recognise different birds by their unique songs. I also remember that I got really upset whenever I saw litter. I couldn’t believe what people had left behind — plastic bags, empty bottles. So many different animals and plants live in the forest. It’s their home. I’m sure we would feel angry if someone left rubbish all over our homes! So, I used to pick up the litter. Now that I’m older, I’m a youth volunteer for a local environmental charity. That means I spend a few hours every weekend picking up rubbish, tidying public spaces and helping to protect the local environment. I’m not paid but I don’t mind. To be honest, I enjoy it! The idea of sitting at home on the sofa watching another ridiculous programme on TV just makes me depressed. Instead, if I think about the next park I’m going to clean up, I get quite excited. I like being active outside in the fresh air, and the result is so satisfying: a clean and tidy green space for wildlife, as well as a safe, attractive place for other people to come and visit. You may think I’m mad spending my weekends and days off like this. But think about it: what would it be like if we all spent some of our free time helping to clean up our communities? Our towns and countryside would be cleaner and more pleasant places for all of us to enjoy. I know I’ve got a rather unusual hobby, but it really helps me to feel calm and happy. It would be great if more people did something similar. There are other advantages, too. I meet a lot of other young people who feel the same way I do about protecting the environment, so I have lots of new friends. One day, I hope to use my experience to help me find a job working outside too. 1．How did the author feel in the forest when she was a young child? A．She was surprised that people left rubbish in the forest. B．She was surprised that so many birds lived in the forest. C．She felt upset when she saw people leaving rubbish behind. D．She felt ashamed that she picked up the litter. 2．Which of the following is NOT part of the author’s work as a volunteer? A．Cleaning up rubbish. B．Tidying public spaces. C．Protecting green spaces.

Sometimes, people try to be positive all the time, even when someone is sad or upset. This is called toxic positivity. It happens when people are told to ignore their negative feelings and only think about good things. A survey was done at Ashton Secondary School in July. It included 500 students aged 12-18. The students were asked about their experiences with toxic positivity. They were also asked which statements were most comforting when they felt sad. The survey found that many students did not feel better when others told them to “look on the bright side” or “other people have it worse”. These statements often made students feel guilty or ignored. For example, Charlie, 12, said that when his pet dog died, someone told him to cheer up. This made him feel worse because he thought he should not be sad. Iris, 18, said that when friends told her to focus on the good things in her life after failing an important exam, it did not help. She felt that people did not understand her sadness. About 42% of students experienced toxic positivity once in the past year. Another 31% said they experienced it more than once, while 27% said they did not experience it at all. Many students said that these “positive” messages were not useful when they were facing problems. Instead, they appreciated statements that accepted their feelings, such as “That must be really hard”, “I’m here if you need to talk.” and “Is there anything I can do to help?” The survey shows that listening and understanding are more important than always trying to make someone feel better. People need to be allowed to feel sad or angry. Supportive words that respect emotions help students feel understood and less alone. In conclusion, toxic positivity can be harmful. True support comes from listening, empathy and kindness, not from forcing someone to be happy. 1．What is “toxic positivity”? A．Encourage themselves to stay cheerful even when upset. B．Share negative feelings and ask others for advice. C．Accept negative feelings and focus on bad things. D．Push away sad feelings and focus on good things. 2．Which sentence can comfort sad students? A．That must be really hard. B．Look on the bright side. C．You are lucky. Stop thinking about it. D．Cheer up. Everything will be fine soon. 3．How did Charlie feel after his dog died when others told him to cheer up? A．It made him feel ignored, as if his sadness did not matter. B．He felt worse, because he thought he should not be sad. C．He tried to calm down and stop thinking about it. D．The words gave him hope that he would feel better soon. 4．Which pie chart matches the survey data? A． B． C． D． 5．Which of the following works best for someone feeling sad? A．Advice, rules and strong control. B．Silence, time and being alone. C．Jokes, gifts and good news. D．Attention, understanding and kindness. 6．What is the writer’s attitude towards toxic positivity? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Uncertain. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．D 6．C 【导语】本文介绍了有害的积极（toxic positivity）：就是当人难过时，被要求忽略负面情绪、只看好的一面。一项针对学生的调查发现，这种做法并不会安慰伤心的人。真正的安慰是倾听、共情与善意，而不是强迫别人开心。 【详解】 1．原文第一段“This is called toxic positivity. It happens when people are told to ignore their negative feelings and only think about good things.”，说明有害的积极就是抛开悲伤情绪，只关注美好的事情。 2．原文第三段“they appreciated statements that accepted their feelings, such as “That must be really hard.””，能安慰伤心学生的句子是“That must be really hard.”。 3．原文第二段“For example, Charlie, 12, said that when his pet dog died, someone told him to cheer up. This made him feel worse because he thought he should not be sad.”，说明Charlie感觉更糟，因为他认为自己不该难过。 4．原文第三段“About 42% of students experienced toxic positivity once in the past year. Another 31% said they experienced it more than once, while 27% said they did not experience it at all.”，42%经历过一次，31%不止一次，27%完全没有，对应饼图A。 5．原文第四段“True support comes from listening, empathy and kindness”，安慰难过的人最好的方式是关注、理解和善意。 6．原文第四段“In conclusion, toxic positivity can be harmful.”，作者认为有害的积极是有危害的，态度是否定的。 二、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) Winning awards is always exciting, but can you imagine students winning big prizes just for showing up at school? A school in Manchester, UK, offers students rewards including bikes, £100 gift vouchers for their perfect attendance records. The school runs a so-called “rewards shop”, where students can use the credit points they earn to buy raffle tickets (抽奖券) and compete for those big prizes. Do you think that is a wise move? Yes-it makes school a lot more appealing Giving pupils prizes for good attendance makes them feel that their efforts are valued. This practice can not only motivate students to go to school regularly, but also help them build a positive attitude towards school life. Besides, when students win prizes, they can share them with their family, which in turn can help create a happier atmosphere at home. Winning a computer for your family or a pizza party for your class is exciting—after all, students couldn’t afford to buy them with pocket money. For many years, schools have used systems like reward points to encourage pupils. Giving prizes is just a creative way to acknowledge a pupil’s hard work and attendance. No-learning matters more than prizes Receiving a good education has its own benefits—it changes your life for the better. You shouldn’t depend on the hope of winning prizes to make you attend. Worse still, this reward system may distract students from their studies. Some students may become more focused on prizes or envy their classmates’ rewards than on lessons. Putting in the effort just for the chance to win something might drive students to attend school, but it doesn’t prepare them for the adult world where people are expected to act responsibly. What’s more, offering gifts for good attendance could lead some pupils to go to school even when they’re sick, when they should stay at home and rest. As a matter of fact, over the past two years, some schools that reward pupils have seen their absence (缺席) rates fall. While rewards can boost attendance, true learning should be the main goal. A good balance is the key. 1．What can students in the UK school use to get raffle tickets for big prizes? A．Pocket money from their family. B．Credit points they earn at school. C．Good exam results in all subjects. D．Letters of praise from teachers. 2．Which of the following is NOT a reward mentioned in the passage? A．A bicycle. B．A £100 gift voucher. C．A pizza party for the class. D．A summer camp trip. 3．The underlined word “acknowledge” in the passage probably means ________. A．highlight B．respect C．recognize D．record 4．What is a negative effect of giving big prizes for attendance mentioned in the passage? A．Students may spend too much time choosing prizes. B．It may cause jealousy among students. C．Schools might run out of money to buy prizes. D．Teachers will have to organize the reward system. 5．What is the main focus of the passage? A．To compare different reward systems in UK schools. B．To discuss whether schools should give prizes for good attendance. C．To explain how “rewards shops” work in Manchester. D．To argue that going to school has its own benefits. 6．Based on the passage, which of the following would the author most probably agree? A．Rewarding attendance with expensive prizes is harmful to students’ motivation. B．Schools should focus only on academic achievements rather than on attendance rates. C．Though rewards may improve attendance, they should not take away from the point of going to school. D．Giving small prizes is acceptable, but large prizes like bikes are improper and should be stopped. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章围绕学校是否应为学生出勤发放奖励展开讨论，列举了支持与反对的双方观点，并最终提出平衡出勤奖励与学习目标的建议。 【详解】 1．根据第一段“where students can use the credit points they earn to buy raffle tickets”可知，学生使用在学校挣得的学分购买抽奖券来获取大奖。 2．根据第一段“bikes, £100 gift vouchers”和第二段“Winning a computer for your family or a pizza party for your class”可知，文中提到了自行车、购物券和披萨派对，未提及夏令营旅行。 3．根据第二段“Giving prizes is just a creative way to acknowledge a pupil’s hard work and attendance.”可知，发放奖品是一种认可学生努力和出勤的创造性方式，recognize意为“认可”。highlight意为“强调”；respect意为“尊重”；record意为“记录”均不符合。 4．根据第三段“Some students may become more focused on prizes or envy their classmates’ rewards than on lessons.”可知，奖励制度可能导致学生嫉妒同学的奖励，从而分散学习注意力。 5．文章开头提出“Do you think that is a wise move?”，随后分别通过“Yes”和“No”两部分阐述对学校发放出勤奖励的看法，可知本文的核心是讨论学校是否应为出勤发奖。 6．根据最后一段“While rewards can boost attendance, true learning should be the main goal. A good balance is the key.”可知，作者认为虽然奖励能提高出勤率，但不应偏离上学学习的根本目的。 三、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) During her lunch break, Li Qing, a 28-year-old office worker, often goes to a health center in a Chongqing mall. She enjoys massage and other traditional Chinese treatments. “This is my secret way to fight tiredness from work,” Li says, showing her phone with a pass for three sessions. Inside, the smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixes with the aroma of coffee from a nearby shop. This is a common picture of the growing health trend among young people in Chinese cities. From healthy drinks to smartwatches, young Chinese are starting a new health trend. They are mixing science, personalization, and modern life. For them, staying well is a daily task to make life better. A recent report shows that young people aged 18 to 35 have become the main group buying health products. They make up over 80% of health consumers in China. Nowadays, young people are willing to pay for good health products and like services made just for them. In front of a hospital, a shop selling special herbal milk tea is always crowded. A hospital nutrition director explains, “Our drinks mix TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) with modern food technology.” Her team has created over 40 different health foods, like gummies and pastries that are good for you. Because more young people are interested in TCM, the hospital’s nutrition department has 30-35% more visitors every year. Technology also plays a big part. For instance, when the smartwatch vibrates after you sit for 90 minutes, it means you should stand up to do some light exercise. The health app records your activity at the same time. Three main trends are noted: using data to manage health, using traditional therapies in new ways, and making wellness enjoyable. To the young, wellness is no longer just advice from elders, but something they can track with numbers every day. 1．What does Li Qing do during her lunch break to stay energetic? A．She drinks coffee in a mall. B．She goes shopping with friends. C．She has a massage and TCM treatments. D．She uses apps to check her health data. 2．What does the word “personalization” (in Para.2) probably mean in the passage? A．Something that is very popular. B．Something that is made for a large group. C．Something that is made specially for one person. D．Something that uses modern technology. 3．What is one reason for the increase in visitors to the hospital’s nutrition department? A．The hospital started selling smartwatches. B．More young people are interested in TCM. C．The price of health products has gone down. D．The department moved to a new building. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Coffee shops in malls are becoming less popular. B．Young people in China are creating new ways to manage their health. C．Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only way to stay healthy. D．Smartwatches are the most important health tool for everyone. 5．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a major trend among young health consumers? A．Using data to customize their health routines. B．Making wellness activities enjoyable. C．Re-inventing traditional therapies. D．Relying only on advice from their elders. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国年轻人将中医与现代科技相结合的健康养生新趋势，展现了他们健康意识的提升及对个性化养生方案的追求。 【详解】 1．第一段“She enjoys massage and other traditional Chinese treatments.”和“This is my secret way to fight tiredness from work”，明确说明李晴午休时去做按摩和中医理疗来缓解疲劳。 2．第二段“They are mixing science, personalization, and modern life.”以及第三段“young people are willing to pay for good health products and like services made just for them.”，说明personalization指的是“为个人量身定制的服务或产品”。 3．第三段“Because more young people are interested in TCM, the hospital’s nutrition department has 30-35% more visitors every year.”，明确说明营养科就诊人数增加的原因是更多年轻人对中医感兴趣。 4．全文围绕中国年轻人兴起的健康新趋势展开，介绍了他们通过中医理疗、健康饮品、智能设备等新方式管理健康，因此主旨是“中国年轻人正在创造管理健康的新方式”。 5．最后一段“To the young, wellness is no longer just advice from elders, but something they can track with numbers every day.”，明确说明年轻人不再仅仅依赖长辈的建议，因此D项不是主要趋势。 四、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month on the traditional Chinese calendar, is one of the most cherished traditional festivals in many East Asian cultures. Beyond the mooncakes and lanterns, the fascinating legends and folklore about the festival are passed down through generations. One famous story is about Chang’e, the Moon Goddess.

Good friends can bring joy, support, and a sense of belonging. However, maintaining healthy friendships is not always easy, especially during the teenage years when emotions and social situations are constantly changing. One common challenge that teenagers face is peer pressure. Sometimes, friends may encourage each other to do things that are unwise or even dangerous, such as skipping class, trying smoking, or spreading gossip about others. Learning to say “no” in a polite but firm way is an important skill. Teenagers who are confident in their own values are less likely to be influenced by negative peer pressure. Another difficulty is miscommunication. In the age of social media, many misunderstandings happen through text messages or online posts. A short message without a smiley face might be read as cold or unfriendly, even when the sender did not mean it that way. Experts suggest that teenagers should talk face-to-face when they have an important or sensitive issue to discuss. Written words cannot always express true feelings clearly. Jealousy (嫉妒) is also a common problem in teenage friendships. When a close friend makes new friends or spends more time with someone else, it is natural to feel left out or upset. However, feeling jealous too often can damage the relationship. Instead of keeping these inside, teenagers should express their worries honestly and give their friends space to grow. A healthy friendship allows both people to have other friends and interests. Trust is the foundation of any strong relationship. Without trust, a friendship can easily break down. Being reliable, keeping secrets, and showing up when you say you will are all ways to foster trust. Teenagers who are trustworthy often find it easier to make and keep good friends. Finally, it is important to remember that not every friendship will last forever. People change, move away, or grow apart over time. This is a normal part of life. Letting go of a friendship that no longer brings positivity can be painful, but it also opens the door to new connections that better match who you are becoming. In conclusion, teenage friendships require effort, understanding, and patience. By learning to handle peer pressure, communicate clearly, manage jealousy, build trust, and accept change, teenagers can develop strong and meaningful relationships that support them through life. 1．According to the passage, a text message without a smiley face might be seen as ________. A．funny B．unfriendly C．honest D．careless 2．What does the writer say about peer pressure? A．It is the most difficult challenge for teenagers to deal with. B．Teenagers with clear values are better able to handle it. C．It only happens among classmates who are not close friends.

A．friends B．worries C．teenagers D．feelings of jealousy 4．The underlined word “foster” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.

Instead of keeping these inside...”，说明过于嫉妒会损害关系，青少年不应将这些情绪压抑在心里。因此these指代前文的“嫉妒情绪”。 4．第五段指出：“Being reliable, keeping secrets, and showing up when you say you will are all ways to foster trust.”，结合选项可知，可靠、守口如瓶，以及信守承诺，都是建立信任的有效方式。foster意为“建立”。 5．第六段指出：“Letting go of a friendship that no longer brings positivity can be painful, but it also opens the door to new connections that better match who you are becoming.”，说明放下不健康的友谊会为更契合自己的新关系打开大门，即带来新机会。 6．最后一段指出：“In conclusion, teenage friendships require effort, understanding, and patience.”，说明作者认为青少年友谊值得付出努力与用心呵护。 二、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) My name is Derick. Last Saturday, I was at Tom’s house, playing games with my friends. We were having a great time until Jake, one of my friends, mentioned “Space”, which is one of my favorite games. “Oh, that game is a waste of time,” Jake said. The others agreed. I love that game, but I didn’t want to argue, so I just went along with them. As we moved onto another game, I felt a strange mix of feelings. I had just experienced peer (同龄人) pressure. It felt like I had to agree with my friends, even if it meant ignoring (忽略) what I truly enjoyed. It was a bit uncomfortable. Later, I thought about what Dr. Casey had said: Teens make good decisions alone but can be influenced in social situations. Teens might have trouble in controlling risky behavior around friends or when angry. It made sense. I realized I needed to care more about my decisions. But I also remembered the positive side. My friend Sarah had invited me to volunteer at an animal center. At first, I was not sure about that, but I ended up loving it. And when my friends study hard, it encourages me, too. True friends encourage each other to do good things. I decide that while I’m influenced by those around me, the final decision is mine. I need to recognize good peer pressure from bad and learn to deal with it. I want to stand up for what I believe in, even if it means going against the group sometimes. It’s not easy, but it’s important. 1．Why did Derick agree with his friends about the game “Space”? A．To avoid arguing. B．To change the subject. C．To support Jake’s opinion. D．To show he disliked the game. 2．How did Derick feel after he agreed with his friends? A．Sorry. B．Excited. C．Uncomfortable. D．Embarrassed. 3．Put the following events about Derick into the correct order according to the passage. a. He felt peer pressure. b. He played games with his friends. c. He thought about Dr. Casey’s words. d. He decides to stand up for what he believes in. A．a-b-c-d B．a-c-b-d C．a-b-d-c D．b-a-c-d 4．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Music and Movies. B．Teenager Life. C．Natural World. D．Amazing Animals. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Day at Tom’s House. B．My Experience with Peer Pressure. C．The Joys of Gaming with Friends. D．The Power of Positive Friendship. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了作者在和朋友玩游戏时经历同龄人压力后的反思与成长，以及他决定坚持自我信念的过程。 【详解】 1．第一段最后一句“I love that game, but I didn’t want to argue, so I just went along with them.”（我喜欢那个游戏，但我不想争论，所以我顺着他们说了。）说明，Derick同意朋友的观点是为了避免争论。 2．第二段最后一句“It was a bit uncomfortable.”（这有点不舒服。）直接指出，Derick在同意朋友后感到不舒服。 3．文章行文顺序：首先第一段提到他在朋友家玩游戏（b）；接着第二段提到他感受到了同辈压力（a）；然后第三段提到后来他想起了Dr. Casey 的话（c）；最后第五段提到他决定坚持自己的信念（d）。正确顺序为b-a-c-d。 4．整篇文章围绕青少年Derick经历同辈压力、反思以及如何应对展开，涉及青少年的心理成长和社交生活，因此最可能出现在“青少年生活（Teenager Life）”栏目。 5．文章主要讲述了Derick亲身经历的一次同辈压力事件，以及他对这种现象的思考和决定。选项B“我对同辈压力的经历”最能概括全文中心。 三、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) The Downside of Empathy What does it take to be a good person? What makes someone a good doctor, therapist or parent? What guides policy-makers to make wise and moral decisions? Many believe that empathy (同理心) — the ability to experience the feelings of others, and particularly others’ suffering — is essential to all of these roles. I argue that this is a mistake, often a tragic one. Empathy acts like a spotlight, focusing one’s attention on a single individual. This can have positive effects, but it can also lead to short-sighted and unfair moral actions. And it is subject to bias (偏见). Both laboratory studies and actual experiences show that empathy flows most for those who look like us, who are attractive and who are non-threatening and familiar. Empathy has its place, but reason should guide action. For example, when we realize that a crisis such as climate change has great significance, we are going beyond empathy. A good policy maker makes decisions using reason. He or she hopes to achieve the sort of fairness and impartiality (不偏不倚) that empathy doesn’t provide. Empathy isn’t just a reflex (下意识反应), of course. We can choose to empathize and stir empathy for others. But this flexibility can be a curse (祸根). Our empathy can be used by others, as when cunning (狡猾的) politicians use our empathy to stir up hatred (仇恨) against certain groups of people. For those in caring professions — including doctors, nurses, teachers and social workers — compassion and understanding are critically important. However, feeling the suffering of others too strongly can lead to exhaustion, burnout and ineffective work. No good doctor is filled with anxiety when working with an anxious patient. The writer Leslie Jamison has a great description of this. “His calmness didn’t make me feel abandoned; it made me feel secure,” she wrote as she described a good doctor who had helped her. “I wanted to look at him and see the opposite of my fear, not its echo.” Many of life’s deepest pleasures, such as engagement with novels, movies and television, require empathic connection. But when it comes to being a good person, there are better alternatives. 1．What is the author’s main viewpoint on empathy? A．Empathy is the most important quality for all professionals. B．Empathy has weaknesses and reason matters more for proper decisions. C．Empathy always brings fair and far-sighted moral judgments. D．Empathy is equally given to every person we meet. 2．How is the passage mainly organized? (篇章结构题) A．List different opinions → compare pros and cons of empathy → choose the best one B．Introduce the definition of empathy → discuss its history → summarize its use C．Raise questions → list several facts → give solutions to social problems D．Put forward an opinion → explain drawbacks with different examples → draw a conclusion 3．Who is most likely to receive people’s empathy according to Paragraph 3? A．Strangers with totally different appearances. B．Unfriendly and unfamiliar strangers. C．Attractive people similar to ourselves. D．People from unknown distant regions. 4．What will a wise policymaker depend on to handle big crises like climate change? A．Pure and strong personal empathy B．Personal preference for familiar crowds C．Natural emotional reflex of empathy D．Rational thinking rather than only empathy 5．What harm may too much empathy bring to medical workers? A．Full energy and efficient work B．Tiredness and poor work performance C．Peaceful mood and secure service D．Freedom from anxiety and pressure 6．What can we learn from Leslie Jamison’s words about a good doctor? A．He shares all patients’ fears and feels upset. B．He keeps calm and brings safety to patients. C．He copes with patients’ negative feelings completely. D．He falls into anxiety along with sick people. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．B 6．B 【导语】本文标题为同理心的负面影响，作者提出观点：人们普遍认为同理心不可或缺，但这其实是误区。文章分析同理心存在偏见、短视等弊端，列举政客、医护行业实例进行论证，指出做抉择时理性比单纯同理心更加重要。 【详解】 1．根据第二段“I argue that this is a mistake, often a tragic one... Empathy has its place, but reason should guide action.”可知作者认为同理心存在弱点，理性对于做出恰当决策更为重要。 2．文章开篇提出核心观点，之后分段借助多个事例阐述同理心的弊端，文末进行总结，行文结构为提出观点→结合不同事例分析缺点→得出结论。 3．根据第三段“empathy flows most for those who look like us, who are attractive and who are non-threatening and familiar.”可知，和我们自身相似、有吸引力的人更容易收获他人的同理心。 4．根据第四段“when we realize that a crisis such as climate change has great significance, we are going beyond empathy. A good policy maker makes decisions using reason.”可知明智的政策制定者依靠理性思考，而非只依靠同理心。 5．根据第六段“However, feeling the suffering of others too strongly can lead to exhaustion, burnout and ineffective work.”可知医护人员同理心过重会疲惫、工作效率低下。 6．根据第六段Leslie Jamison的描述“His calmness didn’t make me feel abandoned; it made me feel secure”，可知一名优秀的医生保持冷静，能带给患者安全感。 四、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) No one wants to go on a fun trip but end up spending the whole time running to the bathroom! While bad seafood might cause a stomachache, the trip itself can also upset your stomach. Your stomach is full of tiny helpers that work to digest (消化) your food. But when you travel, things change. Sitting for too long, changing time zones (时区), and not sleeping on time can all make your stomach feel uncomfortable. For one thing, sitting on a plane or in a car for hours can squeeze your stomach. This slows down how food moves, and your stomach may feel uncomfortable. Also, your body has a “daily clock” that helps it know when to eat, sleep, and even poop (排便) But when you travel far, this clock gets mixed up. You might not go to the bathroom like you normally do. Sleep matters, too. If you don’t get enough sleep, your stomach can become upset. You may even feel like eating a lot of sweet snacks, which can make things worse. The good news? You can stop stomach troubles before they start! Try standing up and stretching (伸展) every hour on the plane or during long car rides. If you’re flying across time zones, begin changing your bedtime a few days early to help your body get used to the new time. And before your trip, be sure to sleep well every night. A rested body is a happy body, and that means a happy stomach, too. So remember: move, sleep, and plan early. That way, your trip can be full of fun, not bathroom runs! 1．According to Paragraph 2, what can upset your stomach when you travel? ①Changing time zones. ②Sitting for a long time. ③Drinking too little water. ④Sleeping at different times than usual. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 2．What does the underlined word “squeeze” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．放松 B．保护 C．清洗 D．挤压 3．If someone sleeps poorly before a trip, what might happen? A．They may want to eat sweet snacks. B．Their ability to digest food may improve. C．Their body temperature might rise a little. D．They might not notice time zone changes. 4．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The best foods to eat while traveling. B．Different kinds of stomach problems. C．The causes of an upset stomach during travel. D．Ways to help your stomach feel better when traveling. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To show how digestion works. B．To warn people not to travel too often. C．To describe how food can make the stomach feel bad. D．To explain stomach problems during trips and give advice. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述旅行时胃部不适的原因，长时间久坐、时区变化、睡眠不足都会影响肠胃，同时给出了预防胃部不适的办法。 【详解】 1．原文第二段“Sitting for too long, changing time zones, and not sleeping on time can all make your stomach feel uncomfortable.”，这句话说明久坐、时区变化、睡眠不规律会让胃部不适，对应①②④。 2．原文第三段“For one thing, sitting on a plane or in a car for hours can squeeze your stomach. This slows down how food moves, and your stomach may feel uncomfortable.”，长时间坐在飞机或者汽车里会挤压胃部，食物蠕动变慢，由此猜测“squeeze”词义为“挤压”。 3．原文第三段“If you don’t get enough sleep, your stomach can become upset. You may even feel like eating a lot of sweet snacks, which can make things worse.”，说明睡眠不足时，你会想吃很多甜食。 4．原文第四段“The good news? You can stop stomach troubles before they start! Try standing up and stretching every hour on the plane or during long car rides.”，本段介绍了几种方法，用来预防、缓解旅行途中胃部不适。 5．全文开篇介绍旅行会引发肠胃问题，中间分析原因，最后给出解决办法，因此作者写作目的是解释旅行中的胃部问题并给出建议。 五、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) In the busy city with tall buildings, firefighters rush into action when they hear an alarm. They have only one minute to get dressed, and then run to a burning building. They have to come into it, knowing that floors could break and ceilings (天花板) could fall. But firefighters like Steve are ready to help, no matter how dangerous it is. Steve used to work in an office, sitting in front of the computer all day long. Now, he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat to save lives. “I’d like to be on my feet more, working with my hands, and doing a job that is different every day,” he says. That’s a simple way to describe a job that requires bravery and a cool head while fighting a fire. But Steve says that fire and fear can be overcome (克服) through endless training in both body and mind. Steve used to be a runner in college, but today he often runs to train his body for dangerous situations. He might climb hundreds of steps, carrying heavy things or people. He must control his breathing so that he won’t run out of it. Being a firefighter isn’t just about being physically strong. Steve also needs to think a lot and keep learning about medicine, building design and science, for example, quickly understanding how a fire changes. “________,” Steve says. “I’m always learning something new through it.” Steve has changed a lot since he went from working with computers to being a firefighter. He believes that he has made the right choice (选择).

The event was made to praise teenagers who help others in small but important ways. Teachers, parents and students came to see the winners. The Young Creative Award went to 14-year-old Jack Miller. Jack made short online videos to teach Makaton, a way to communicate using simple signs and pictures while speaking. Jack started learning it because his little sister sometimes found it hard to say what she needed. At first, he only wanted to help at home. Later, he found out other families had the same problem, so he shared easy lessons like “thank you”, “help”, and “I feel worried.” Now students at his school use his videos to learn a few signs. Jack said, “If more people can understand each other, fewer people will feel alone.” The Inclusivity Award was given to the Riverbridge School Music Group for a project called Many Voices. This award is for groups that make sure everyone feels welcome, no matter where they come from. In Many Voices, the music group played a new piece written by Layla Brown, a young black music writer. Before the show, the students shared short stories about their families. Their teacher said, “Music should be a place where everyone belongs.” The last award, the Helping Hands Group Award, was given to New Steps, a student group started by teenagers. New Steps helps new classmates find classrooms, join clubs and feel safe at school. They also run a “buddy lunch” each week, so new students don’t have to sit alone. Their leader, Sophie Bennett, said, “If we can light a small lamp for others, hope will travel farther.” 1．Why did Jack start learning Makaton? A．To win an award at school. B．To support many different families. C．To help his little sister communicate. D．To become famous online. 2．Which award did New Steps win? A．Young Creative Award B．Helping Hands Group Award C．Inclusivity Award D．Best Sports Award 3．The underlined word “Inclusivity” in the passage is closest in meaning to: ________. A．welcoming people of all abilities and backgrounds B．making everyone follow the same rules in a group C．staying quiet and keeping to yourself in a group D．treating everyone the same without considering different needs 4．Which of the following statements is NOT right? A．Makaton uses signs and pictures to support speech. B．New Steps helps new students settle in and make friends. C．Jack gave easy lessons like “thank you”, “help”, and “I feel worried.” at school. D．A newly written work by a young black music writer was performed by the Riverbridge School Music Group. 5．Sophie said, “If we can light a small lamp for others, hope will travel farther.” What does “a small lamp” stand for? A．A small electrical device that produces light. B．A simple act of kindness or support. C．A classroom decoration for new students. D．A rule that students must follow. 6．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage readers to join a charity and help others in need. B．To show how young people can become popular. C．To introduce an award event that honours young people. D．To compare several school groups and their achievements. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了City Kind青年慈善机构举办首届Inspiring Hope Awards 颁奖活动，表彰以微小却重要的方式帮助他人的青少年，介绍了各个奖项的获奖人和团队事迹。 【详解】 1．第二段提到“Jack started learning it because his little sister sometimes found it hard to say what she needed.”，说明Jack学习Makaton是为了帮助他的小妹妹进行交流。 2．第四段提到“The last award, the Helping Hands Group Award, was given to New Steps, a student group started by teenagers.”，说明New Steps赢得的是Helping Hands Group Award。 3．第三段提到“This award is for groups that make sure everyone feels welcome, no matter where they come from.”，对应“inclusivity”含义为接纳不同能力、不同背景的人。 4．第二段提到“Now students at his school use his videos to learn a few signs.”，文中并没有提到Jack在学校讲授“thank you”“help”和“I feel worried.”这些课程，因此C项表述错误。 5．第四段提到New Steps这个学生团体帮助新生熟悉校园、融入集体，Sophie所说的“If we can light a small lamp for others, hope will travel farther.”是比喻，结合该组织帮扶新同学的行为，可推知“a small lamp”代表一次简单的善意举动或支持。 6．第一段提到“a youth charity called City Kind held its first Inspiring Hope Awards. The event was made to praise teenagers who help others in small but important ways.”，说明文章主要目的是介绍这个表彰青少年的颁奖活动。 二、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) Jean was a clerk who worked until midnight every day to support his family, including his three children. With his hard work, he managed to send his eldest son Francis to school. To his pride, Francis was always highly praised by teachers. One day, Jean received a call from Francis’ teacher. He was told that Francis usually fell asleep in class for a whole week. When Francis got home for dinner, Jean spoke to him seriously, “Son, I’ve heard you didn’t listen to your teacher carefully. Is that so?” Francis looked down and said, “Yes, Dad.” Jean wanted to say something, but when he looked at the thin, small body of his son, his heart melted. “OK. I won’t scold (责备) you. But be a good boy, will you?” Francis nodded. A week later, Jean was invited to the school. What made him more disappointed was that Francis was sleepy more often than before. That evening, silence hung heavy while they were having dinner. But when Jean remembered what the teacher had said, the storm broke. “Francis, your teacher told me about your behaviour. I’ve been trying very hard to keep you in school. I copied many written materials in my spare time for extra money. And I don’t want to hear again that you fall asleep in class!” Francis said nothing, dropping his head and dragging himself up to his small bedroom in the attic. Jean couldn’t fall asleep that night. He was a little bit sorry to have been so fierce toward his son. “I should apologize to my son,” he thought. He climbed up the stairs. As he went closer and closer to the attic, he found Francis was writing very fast on some paper—not his homework but piles of documents across the desk. Jean called out softly, “Son…” he went up to little Francis and held him tightly. Feeling the warmth of his father’s body, Francis looked up with his tired and red eyes and whispered, “Dad, I will get my pay soon. I just hope you won’t be so tired.” 1．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to Paragraph 1? A．Jean worked overtime to support his family. B．There were four people in Jean’s family. C．Francis was a model student in his father’s eyes. D．Jean was too busy to care about his son. 2．Why didn’t Jean scold Francis during their first talk? A．Because Francis admitted he slept in class. B．Because he couldn’t bear to scold his thin, small son. C．Because he believed Francis would change by himself.

B．Nothing is more important than sincerity. C．Deep family love hides in silent action. D．Telling the truth is important during communication. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了父亲Jean辛苦打工供养三个孩子，原本优秀的大儿子却总在课堂上睡觉。父亲先是心疼，没有责怪，后来一度发火，夜里才发现儿子悄悄熬夜抄写文件赚钱，想帮父亲分担家庭重担。 【详解】 1．根据第一段“Jean was a clerk who worked until midnight every day to support his family, including his three children… To his pride, Francis was always highly praised by teachers.”可知，Jean加班养家，家里一共4口人，在Jean眼里Francis是模范学生。“Jean太忙而不关心儿子”的说法错误。 2．根据第四段“when he looked at the thin, small body of his son, his heart melted”可知，第一次谈话时Jean没有责备Francis是因为不忍心责备瘦小虚弱的儿子。 3．根据倒数第四段“the storm broke… And I don’t want to hear again that you fall asleep in class!”可知，此处指Jean想起老师的话对儿子发火了，“the storm broke.”说明Jean生气了。 4．通读全文可知，倒数第三段“Francis said nothing, dropping his head and dragging himself up to his small bedroom in the attic.”对应③，倒数第二段“‘I should apologize to my son,’ he thought.”对应②，倒数第二段“he found Francis was writing very fast on some paper—not his homework but piles of documents across the desk”对应①，最后一段“he went up to little Francis and held him tightly”对应④。正确的顺序是③②①④。 5．根据倒数第二段“Francis was writing very fast on some paper—not his homework but piles of documents across the desk”可知，Francis白天上课困倦是因为夜里抄写文档，想赚钱减轻父亲负担。 6．通读全文可知，父亲辛苦打工，孩子默默熬夜干活分担家庭压力，两人都没有多说，用行动爱着家人。 三、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) Is the use of AI actors a good choice? Recently, we held an online vote on this topic. Most people voted “Yes,” and there are four main reasons behind their choice. Reason Number of votes 1 91 2 134 3 119 4 166 Reason 1: AI actors never get tired or fall ill, so they can work for longer periods of time. Reason 2: AI actors cost less than human actors. This can help producers save money and make more movies and TV series. Reason 3: AI actors can be designed to look like almost anyone, including historical figures. Reason 4: AI actors can handle challenging and risky scenes more easily. For example, they can jump from tall buildings without the risk of getting hurt. CommentsJack203 In my opinion, both AI actors and real actors have their own strengths. Perhaps they can work together in the future. Human actors bring real emotions to the screen, making films more touching. AI actors, on the other hand, can take on more difficult roles.Sonny111 This discussion is really thought-provoking. Real actors can give more natural performances, while AI actors can keep working without needing breaks. Perhaps the best solution is to find a balance between the two. 1．The author of the report held the online vote to find out ________. A．what kinds of roles AI actors can play B．why AI actors are becoming more popular C．whether people support the use of AI actors D．how many people enjoy watching AI-made movies 2．Which reason received the most support in the online vote? A．AI actors never get tired. B．AI actors cost less money. C．AI actors can easily handle risky scenes. D．AI actors can be made to look like historical figures. 3．The underlined word “thought-provoking” in the second comment probably means “making people ________.” A．laugh B．feel bored C．feel angry D．think deeply 4．According to Jack203, what is one advantage of real actors? A．They can work longer hours. B．They are more affordable than AI actors. C．They can bring real emotions to the screen. D．They can perform difficult roles more easily. 5．What can we infer from Sonny111’s comment? A．He thinks AI actors are better than real actors. B．He thinks the discussion is not worth the time. C．He believes that AI actors will soon replace real actors. D．He believes we should use both AI and real actors wisely. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一次关于“是否使用AI演员”的在线投票结果，列出了支持者的四个主要理由及得票情况，并展示了两条网友评论，探讨了AI演员与真人演员的优劣及未来合作的可能性。 【详解】 1．根据第一段“Recently, we held an online vote on this topic. Most people voted ‘Yes,’...”以及标题“Is the use of AI actors a good choice?”可知，投票的主题是“使用AI演员是否是一个好的选择”，即为了了解人们是否支持使用AI演员。 2．根据表格中“Reason 4”对应的“Number of votes”是166，为最高票数，以及文中“Reason 4: AI actors can handle challenging and risky scenes more easily.”可知，AI演员能更容易处理危险场景这一理由获得最多支持。 3．根据Sonny111的评论“This discussion is really thought-provoking...Perhaps the best solution is to find a balance between the two.”可知，这场讨论引发了人们对两者平衡的思考，所以该词意为“引人深思的”，即让人们深入思考。 4．根据Jack203的评论“Human actors bring real emotions to the screen, making films more touching.”可知，真人演员的优势在于能给屏幕带来真实的情感。 5．根据 Sonny111的评论“Perhaps the best solution is to find a balance between the two.”可推知，他认为最好的解决方案是在两者之间找到平衡，即应该明智地同时使用AI和真人演员。 四、Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) As a young child, I remember being fascinated by the outdoors. My mum used to take my sister and me to the woods near our house. She thought it was important for us to learn about the natural world. She would show us different trees and plants, and we would learn to recognise different birds by their unique songs. I also remember that I got really upset whenever I saw litter. I couldn’t believe what people had left behind — plastic bags, empty bottles. So many different animals and plants live in the forest. It’s their home. I’m sure we would feel angry if someone left rubbish all over our homes! So, I used to pick up the litter. Now that I’m older, I’m a youth volunteer for a local environmental charity. That means I spend a few hours every weekend picking up rubbish, tidying public spaces and helping to protect the local environment. I’m not paid but I don’t mind. To be honest, I enjoy it! The idea of sitting at home on the sofa watching another ridiculous programme on TV just makes me depressed. Instead, if I think about the next park I’m going to clean up, I get quite excited. I like being active outside in the fresh air, and the result is so satisfying: a clean and tidy green space for wildlife, as well as a safe, attractive place for other people to come and visit. You may think I’m mad spending my weekends and days off like this. But think about it: what would it be like if we all spent some of our free time helping to clean up our communities? Our towns and countryside would be cleaner and more pleasant places for all of us to enjoy. I know I’ve got a rather unusual hobby, but it really helps me to feel calm and happy. It would be great if more people did something similar. There are other advantages, too. I meet a lot of other young people who feel the same way I do about protecting the environment, so I have lots of new friends. One day, I hope to use my experience to help me find a job working outside too. 1．How did the author feel in the forest when she was a young child?
