Putting ourselves in others’ shoes is the most basic quality of a decent person. For years, I could never fully understand why so many people failed to practice this simple rule. It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots.
Last Tuesday evening, I lost my temper over my 14-year-old son Leo. His teachers had sent me three warning messages that week: he frequently handed in unfinished homework and arrived late for morning classes almost every day. I blamed him simply for being lazy and lacking self-discipline, without giving him a single chance to explain. Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. Our home lies more than 25 kilometers away from his school. The bus ride alone takes one hour each way. The bumpy, noisy bus leaves no quiet space for him to focus on schoolwork. By the time he gets home after rush-hour traffic, it is already dark, and he is too exhausted to finish heavy assignments quickly. His words struck me silent all at once. I suddenly realized I had only focused on his bad performance, totally ignoring the tough struggles hidden behind his mistakes.
This conversation brought me a clear insight: everyone can recall a great many wise rules, yet putting them into real action is surprisingly hard. I have long told my family and friends to stay considerate, but whenever I am seized by negative emotions, I instinctively jump to blame others. I fix my eyes on visible results rather than digging out unseen difficulties others are going through.
The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self-control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way.
I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consistently picture myself standing in their position, and feel pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words. That short pause can calm my sudden anger, break my fixed prejudice, and leave space for real understanding between people.
24. Why does the author talk about the value of empathy at the very beginning?
A. To create an unexpected sharp contrast.
B. To lead in the following personal story.
C. To provide related supporting statistics.
D. To prove a viewpoint with opposite examples.
25. What was Leo’s attitude when faced with the author’s blame?
A. Calm and worried. B. Furious and defensive.
C. Confused and doubtful. D. Unconcerned and careless.
26. What is the greatest difficulty in practicing empathy?
A. Having too many things to do. B. Lacking enough life experience.
C. Being controlled by sudden bad emotions. D. Failing to remember valuable life lessons.
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. A hidden harm of biased judgment.
B. Practical methods to avoid biased judgment.
C. Long-term benefits of keeping silent when annoyed.
D. The importance of patient communication with teenagers.
C
New research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out. “What we’ve learned is that the techniques actors use have a powerful effect on how children handle language and how they perceive themselves,” said Siri Lee of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).
The randomized control trial involved hundreds of year 5 pupils — aged nine and ten — at 45 primary schools that had not been “previously exposed to RSC teaching approach.” They were split into target and control groups and asked to write, for example, a message in a bottle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target group was given a 30-minute drama-based activity to accompany the passage.
The results showed that the target group of pupils drew on a wider vocabulary, used words “classed as more complicated or rarer”, and wrote at greater length. They also “appear to be more comfortable writing in role. While control pupils imagine how they themselves would react to being shipwrecked, target children put themselves in the shoes of a literary character and express the character’s emotion”. The Time to Act study also found that while control pupils relied on “deserted island conventions” such as palm trees, target pupils were “more expansive giving a broader picture of the sky, the sea and the atmospheric conditions.”
Siri Lee said she had been most surprised by the “emotional literacy that was evident in the target children’s writing” and that they were “more resilient in their writing, more hopeful”. She added: “The emotional understanding was very evident and it is probably related to the rehearsal room process where you are used to trying to imagine your way through. They were comfortable in describing different emotional states and part of what you do in drama is put yourself in different shoes.” The study showed the importance of embedding arts in education, she said.
But could the results be replicated with any old dramatist? Siri Lee said more research would be needed but suggested that the grammar school boy’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a “massive expansion of language into children’s lives”, which was combined with children “using their whole bodies to bring words to life”.
28. Why were the pupils divided into two groups?
A. To illustrate the popularity of RSC. B. To prove the advantage of acting-out.
C. To measure their writing speed. D. To see their understandings of a drama.
29. What did control pupils’ reliance on “deserted island conventions” show?
A. Their preference for big words. B. Their casual style of writing.
C. Their weakness in description. D. Their ignorance of small details.
30. What can be inferred about Shakespeare’s use of words?
A. It overshadows that of other dramatists. B. It is overly challenging to students.
C. It enriches children’s daily vocabulary. D. It is definitely scholarship-oriented.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Acting Out Shakespeare: A Stone, Two Birds B. Follow in Shakespeare’s Footsteps
C. Shakespeare: Language Strugglers’ Cure-all D. Shakespeare: Easier Said Than Done
D
Mindfulness is such a hot word. We all want it. But while mindfulness may be credited as a key to happiness, mind-wandering is the key to our survival as a species.
According to Michael Graziano, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, humans evolved to prioritize immediate threats. “Having your attention focused on external events happening in the moment is of great importance during ‘fight-or-flight’ moments,” says Graziano. But the other side of it is also important: when our mind wanders, that, too, is essential to our survival, says Graziano.
“It’s partly about remembering how to survive the saber tooth tiger (剑齿虎), but it might also be about social interactions. There are a lot of benefits to mind-wandering so long as you’re not doing it the moment a tiger is attacking you,” says Graziano. Often, when our minds wander, we’re thinking about past and future social interactions and how to conduct them. And this phenomenon isn’t by chance.
Emiliano Bruner, a paleoneurobiologist (古神经生物学家), explains that it originates from the brain’s parietal cortex (顶叶皮层). His 2022 study reveals that this region expanded significantly in modern humans, enabling outstanding capacities of visual imaging, along with imagination of past and future. “This is a wonderful superpower for evolution, promoting evolutionary fitness, but it’s also a drawback for individuals because it can cause overthinking, fears and anxiety,” says Bruner.
Today, this ability to survive is also the source of a lot of human sufferings. According to Bruner, in psychology, this is called “negativity prejudice” — or our natural instinct to think negatively about the future to remove any threats to our survival. “Evolution did its job, and happiness is not among its priorities,” says Bruner.
Bruner says that because mind wandering was important to our evolutionary survival, humans today need to control the damage it can do to our lives. Regular meditation, for example, is a tool that has been proven by research-to increase time spent in the present moment and limit the overthinking that brings mental pains.
32. Why does the author mention “fight-or-flight” in paragraph 2?
A. To criticize its negative impact on modern mental health.
B. To argue that humans no longer rely on evolutionary instincts.
C. To compare different roles of mindfulness and mind-wandering.
D. To emphasize its role as the only survival strategy humans need.
33. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. The danger of mind-wandering during attacks.
B. The benefits of mindfulness in social interactions.
C. The connection of social skills to human survival.
D. The evolutionary role of mind-wandering in safe periods.
34. Which of the following statements might Bruner agree with?
A. We developed “negativity prejudice” after we were born.
B. Mind-wandering is a drawback for individuals and should be avoided.
C. Evolutionary adaptations prioritize survival over mental well-being.
D. The expansion of the parietal cortex in humans enables us to better focus.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Meditation Fixes Evolutionary Flaws
B. A Wandering Mind Is Part of Our Evolution
C. The Dangers of Overthinking in Modern Life
D. The History of Neuroscience and Human Evolution

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us. __36__ For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction.
At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. __37__ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it.
__38__ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next.
__39__ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page.
You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. __40__ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers.
A. Each type serves a different purpose.
B. It’s about making sense of those words.
C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal.
D. They can totally transform the reading experience.
E. But imagine students who are just learning to read.
F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain.
G. Be aware that these techniques can be tailored based on reading levels.

One day, he chose a __47__ course. My schedule was full, but I agreed. The place was ordinary, my game poor. __48__, for one perfect moment, three deer stepped from the woods and held our gaze. The memory would later feel like a silent __49__. When we reached the final hole, Pops __50__ from the cart, then fell like a tree: heart failure. The sound of his head hitting the ground was a __51__ I’ll never forget.
Panic __52__ me. It happened unbelievably fast. Lacking CPR training, My first-aid knowledge out of nowhere, an almost forgotten __53__ flashed from a CNN news: chest compressions. I pressed, pounding with a __54__ rhythm. A cough, then a breath. His hand squeezed mine in faint relief. He would live.
The quality of life lies not in events, but in the meaning we __55__ to them. I could have blamed myself for the remote location. But I choose to see this as a gift and we cherish every moment together now.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Before Benjamin Rene and Loic Michel left their hometown of Annecy in southeastern France __56__ the morning of September 13, 2024, China was, to them, a distant yet fascinating place, a name more often encountered in headlines than in everyday conversation.
“In France, China __57__ (feel) extremely far away,” says Rene, 27. “It almost represents the end of the world — as far as you can go by walking.”
The idea __58__ would eventually turn this abstract distance into lived experience was born two years earlier. The two friends found themselves talking about repetitive work routines and the sense of __59__ (tire) in daily life. Surprising even themselves, they made a bold decision: to walk all the way to China, choosing a low-carbon and __60__ (environmental) friendly way to travel.
They spent more than half a year preparing. Maps __61__ (study), visas researched, physical training intensified. Eventually, they quit their jobs in Paris, packed only the __62__ (essential) into lightweight backpacks, and accepted that the road ahead would last well over a year. Their __63__ (plan) route would stretch roughly 13,000 kilometers, pass through 16 countries, and end in Shanghai.
China, which they entered on Sept 13 after a yearlong journey across Central Asia, marked __64__ milestone, not just in geographical terms, but emotionally. By the time they arrived in Lanzhou, the capital city of Northwest China’s Gansu province, they had been on the road __65__ (explore) China for about 450 days.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
For years, I had been using delicate experimental tools and advanced lab materials to bring complex scientific concepts to life for my students. Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration.
Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments.
Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions.
At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm.

Music Brightens Campus Life
Last week, our school held a music festival. I took part in the chorus with my classmates. We practised after class for weeks and finally performed on stage.
Music brings us joy and helps us relax from heavy study tasks. It also strengthens our friendship. It truly brightens our campus life.
第二节读后续写范文
In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. They designed all kinds of creative inventions with recycled materials. Some made wheeled carts while others built levers. They tested their works repeatedly and discussed how to improve them. Even quiet students became active and eager to share their ideas. I was amazed to see they grasped scientific principles far better than before.
By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. Visitors were shocked that those wonderful works were made of waste. Students introduced their inventions confidently. This experience taught us that creativity matters more than expensive equipment. It turned shortage into the best inspiration for learning.
