(二) 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B Since I started training in artistic swimming, I have had the best time of my life. My dance experience has helped me pick up the skills and grace (优雅) necessary for the sport. I am also lucky to be in a wonderful club, Crystal Aquatics, and I am forever thankful to my coach, Crystal, for believing in me and sending me to my first competition. The competition served as a great learning experience for me, and the memory remains clear today. I had practiced hard for the competition, and I was excited and nervous on that day. My family and my friend Emily were with me to give me encouragement. My coach helped me with my warm-up and gave me support as well. I was really touched by their love. When it was my turn, I was in high spirits and took my position. I waited for the music. However, the music did not come. I was counting in my head, dived into the water and began my performance, until I was stopped by my coach. I then realized that I had started too early. It was a false start. I felt very embarrassed (尴尬的). However, at that point, I also felt a rush to prove that I could still do it. For a second time, I dived into the water and gave 200 percent effort. When I was done, my coach, family, and friend said “Good job.” Although they were encouraging and tried to comfort me, I still felt that I had let everyone down. Later that day, my coach messaged me that she was proud of me and that, even with the false start, I had done well and completed my routine (动作) beautifully. She also shared a photo of me during my performance. It showed my excitement and happiness while I was dancing in the water. This experience reminded me that life isn’t about victory all the time. What truly matters is finding joy in doing what you love and having the courage to get back up after failing. If we don’t give up, every failure can make us stronger to keep going. 23. What went wrong when the writer first tried to perform? A. She forgot her routine. B. There was a problem with the music. C. The coach gave her wrong advice. D. She started too early. 24. How did the writer feel when finishing her second performance? A. Excited. B. Disappointed. C. Angry. D. Proud. 25. What did the writer learn from the experience? A. Hard work will always pay off. B. Winning is as important as enjoyment. C. Rising from failure matters more than victory. D. Success comes with other people’s support. C In conversations, we often sense that the other person isn’t truly focused. According to the University of Missouri, 45% of communication is about listening, but most people remember only 25% to 50% of the information they hear. Whether you’re in a classroom, a business setting, or a relationship, missing 75% of what’s said to you is sure to lead to big problems. Active listening helps solve them. Active listening means more than hearing the words. Instead, you think about what you hear, and try to find the purpose and emotion from the speaker. Active listening requires paying attention. If you’re watching TV or looking at your phone while someone is talking, you’re not actively listening. The other side of active listening is making sure the other person knows that you’re doing so. Signs like eye contact and replying with wise ideas are important. As verbal (言语的) communication is very important in every part of life, active listening can help you communicate better, reduce misunderstandings, and build more successful relationships. Imagine your mom talks about family rules while you are checking TikTok. Mom keeps saying “Look at me” because you are checking your phone. You think “Here comes the boring lecture again” and ignore your mom’s anxious voice. This creates a perfect storm where both parties end up arguing with each other. But if you can close the app, sit next to mom and look into her eyes, magic will happen. Mom will stop repeating rules, her shoulders will relax, and you will quickly move to the next topic to discuss what to eat for dinner. In fact, active listening takes practice. The first and foremost thing is to pay attention. Put away the distractions and make eye contact with the person talking to you. Make notes in mind about the speaker’s main points. Why are they telling you this? How does the speaker feel about what they’re saying? Don’t think about answering immediately. Also, showing that you’re listening is necessary. The speaker can tell if you’re paying attention. Nod when you need to and give small comments like “yes” and “huh”. But don’t repeat something they’ve just said. This might seem like a good way to show you’re listening, but actually it can derail the conversation. The speaker may feel upset, as repeating interrupts (打断) their train of thoughts and drives the conversation away from the topic. When the moment is right, offer thoughtful feedback (反馈). This doesn’t mean just answering, but showing you understand. You can do this by reflecting on what the speaker just says and asking follow-up questions. Good feedback helps make the conversation more interesting and shows that you are truly engaged. 26. According to the passage, which one is active listening? A. Remembering 50% of the information you hear. B. Thinking about what you hear when listening. C. Guessing what others will say before listening. D. Asking some questions before listening. 27. In Paragraph 3, why does the author mention the example of you and your mom? A. To show eye contact is useful to reduce conflicts. B. To explain active listening can improve communication. C. To show ignoring others’ words may lead to an argument. D. To prove verbal communication is important in relations. 28. What does “derail” probably mean? A. Make the conversation boring. B. Put an end to the conversation. C. Make the conversation lose focus. D. Put new things into the conversation. D Have you ever bought a new pair of shoes and started noticing the exact color and style of shoes everywhere? Is that type of shoes just becoming popular in your school? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Actually, the shoes were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain type of shoes becomes part of your life, you start recognizing all of the other shoes that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. Priming can happen in different ways. In one study, researchers made students walk around a room for 5 minutes at a slower pace (步速) than usual. After this short experience, the students were quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as “forgetful”, “old”, and “lonely”. The priming effects tend to produce a coherent (连贯的) reaction: if you think about old age, you may start to act older, and acting older can strengthen those thoughts. This research shows us that our thoughts can influence our actions, and then our actions can influence our thoughts in a continuous cycle. American psychologist William James reached similar conclusions a century ago, but he emphasized the priming effect on feelings. “Actions seem to follow feelings, but actually actions and feelings go together. And by managing the actions, we can manage the feelings.” To put it simply, if we want to feel cheerful, we can start by sitting up happily and to act and speak as if you were already happy. So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to make ourselves feel happier each day. One thing we have in common is our ability to think and feel. Thinking about the good things in our lives can produce the chemicals that make us feel happy. Especially when we take the time to think about what we’re grateful (感激的) for—like friends, family, or even small joys like a sunny day—we fill our minds with these “happy chemicals”. Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude (感激之情), we will not only be happier in the moment, but we will be “primed” to recognize the good things in our life. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will add an extra positive effect on our state of mind. Therefore, by being aware of the power of our thoughts and actions, we can cultivate (培养) a happier, more fulfilling life. 29. When you go through “priming”, you ________. A. start recognizing things you didn’t notice before B. notice the things of the same color and style C. have an interest in fashion and buy popular things D. begin to follow other people’s actions and thoughts 30. What will the author probably agree with? A. Acting old can make people feel young in their mind. B. We can manage our thoughts by managing our feelings. C. Happy chemicals make us think of the good things in life. D. Practicing gratitude helps us to recognize positive things. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Gratitude Is Important for Happiness B. Actions Are Primed by Feelings C. Prime Yourself to Be Happier D. Learn Priming to Understand Feelings 五、阅读表达。(每小题2分，共10分) 阅读短文， 根据短文内容回答问题。 When searching for “AI homework” on Xiaohongshu, you’ll see many posts from students and teachers discussing the advantages and disadvantages of asking AI to do homework. So, is AI a helpful homework tool or just an excuse for students to be lazy? On the one hand, AI has proven to be a powerful tool for improving learning efficiency. Zhang Yue, a grade 10 student from Beijing, shared with China Youth Daily that more than half of his classmates use AI for homework. AI can act as a personal teacher and help students finish their homework faster by offering quick guidance. However, using too much AI can have negative effects. Li Lin, a grade 9 student from Henan, found that AI harmed her ability to think independently. In an interview with Henan Daily, she said that after using AI for a short time, she noticed her Chinese grades dropped. “My articles written by AI lacked self-reflection (自我反思).” This shows that although AI can complete homework, it does not teach students how to think deeply, which is important for meaningful learning. What’s more, the quality of Chinese and English articles written by AI can be quite poor. According to Ms. Peng, a middle school English teacher, the problem with AI-produced work is that it may be wrong or simply lack a deep meaning. But some students take advantage of AI in a smarter way. Jiang Wei uses AI for creative writing in English class. “I already have in mind what I want to write, and then use AI to help me write more smoothly (流畅地) and naturally”. Jiang sees AI as a library because it offers resources without replacing her own ideas. In conclusion, the role of AI in education is up to you. When used effectively, AI can be beneficial for both teaching and learning. “Embracing new technology is preparing ourselves for the future,” Peng said. “But schools and teachers must guide students to use AI correctly as a learning tool.” While it offers efficiency and support, it should not replace one’s independent thinking and creativity. The key is to use it wisely, so students can build both technological skills and thinking abilities. 32. How can AI help students finish their homework faster? ________________________________ 33. What is the problem with AI-produced work according to Ms. Peng? ________________________________ 34. Why does Jiang Wei see AI as a library? ________________________________ 35. Peter’s grades dropped after using AI for his homework.

I’m glad to share my ideas about how to keep safe here. At school, we should follow school rules. Don’t run in the corridors or push others when going up and down stairs to avoid accidents. When on the streets, we must obey traffic rules—cross the road at zebra crossings and never ride bikes side by side with classmates. While surfing online, we shouldn’t use simple passwords or share personal information with strangers. Also, be careful with online friends and never meet them alone. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. We must always stay alert to protect ourselves. 【37题答案】 【答案】参考范文 Once I had a big fight with my best friend because of a misunderstanding. She thought I told others her secret, and she refused to talk to me. I felt sad and worried for days, as I valued our friendship a lot. To solve the problem, I decided to communicate with her honestly. I wrote her a letter to explain the truth and invited her to have a face-to-face talk. During the talk, I listened to her feelings patiently and apologized for making her feel hurt. Finally, she realized it was a misunderstanding and we made up. From this experience, I learned that communication is the best way to solve friendship problems. Being angry or silent isn’t helpful. Only by expressing our thoughts and listening to each other can we keep our friendship strong. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
