Due to a rare disease, 17-year-old Noah Cervantes has difficulty using conventional toys. His mother Danielle Jackson found adapted toys online, but they cost over $100 each. She then searched for a local organization and connected with Michael Dicpinigaitis, a Cornell student who founded the Big Red Adaptive Play and Design Initiative (APDI).
The group trained students to adapt toys for children with disabilities. At first, only a few students worked on adapting toys. But since 2021, more than 100 volunteers have joined, building a large lending library available to nine local schools and recovery centers.
“It’s amazing to have people so invested in your kid gaining independence and enjoying life,” Jackson said, “You don’t realize what disabled kids miss when they can’t even dress themselves or open their own lunchboxes.”
Dicpinigaitis began this work in high school after seeing a video of a child with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) playing independently with an adapted toy. He taught himself to adapt toys and wanted to continue the service at Cornell. Recently, the group has shifted from general toy adaptation to tailoring solutions for individual needs. On March 24, they worked with Ithaca College to adapt battery-powered toy cars for four children with mobility difficulties.
For these children, APDI brings light to their life. The adapted toys mean more than toys — they represent being together with ordinary children. Jackson said the toys allowed Noah and his brothers and sisters to play together for the first time. “Before, someone had to sit with him and assist him through. Now they all do the same thing,” she said. Kelly Clark, a psychologist guiding the group, said, “We want to make sure kids with disabilities have access to everything the rest do.”
The group now designs 3D-printed aids for communication devices and daily duties. They plan to become an official Cornell Engineering team to ensure their mission continues.
4. What made Jackson turn to APDI?
A. Her son’s dislike of traditional toys. B. The prices of specially designed toys.
C. Her son’s difficulty in adapting toys. D. The fame of Dicpinigaitis in medicine.
5. Which word can best describe Dicpinigaitis?
A. Reputation-driven. B. Profit-seeking.
C. Community-caring. D. Detail-focused.
6. What can we learn about APDI?
A. It helps children feel included. B. It benefits the disability recovery.
C. It contributes to kids’ dependence. D. It specializes in general adaptation.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A mother’s effort to find a tailored cure.
B. A Cornell student’s path to starting a business.
C. An approach to promoting unconventional toys.
D. An organization adapting toys for disabled kids.

For over 150 years, biologists have been perplexed by a question even Charles Darwin couldn’t fully answer: Why do some plants arrive in a new place and spread rapidly, while others barely survive? In On the Origin of Species, Darwin proposed two competing ideas about successful invasive (入侵的) plants: they are similar to native plants and already suited to local conditions or they are different enough to avoid direct competition. For years, evidence seemed to support both ideas, but the broader pattern remained unclear.
Tadeo Ramirez-Parada and his team at UC Santa Barbara turned to herbaria, collections of preserved plant specimens (标本) gathered over centuries. Each dried plant comes with valuable information, including where and when it was collected, and whether it was flowering at the time. The team focused on flowering time, a critical factor in plant reproduction. Using specimen records, historical weather data, and advanced statistical methods, the researchers estimated flowering periods for thousands of species. They then compared invasive and native plants across regions.
The results of the new study revealed a striking pattern. In regions with harsh conditions like extreme heat, cold or dryness, successful invasive plants responded to the same environmental cues as established species did. In milder regions with greater biodiversity, invasive species often flowered significantly earlier so they could attract pollinators (传粉者) before natives, and produce seeds sooner and spread them over a longer period.
The findings may help land managers identify future threats before they become major problems. In mild climates, evolutionarily distinct invasive plants may deserve closer attention. In harsher climates, introduced species that behave like native plants may pose the greatest risk.
The research also highlights concerns about invasive annual grasses, which have transformed many ecosystems. In California, large areas once supported diverse communities of native grasses and wildflowers, but today, many of those landscapes are dominated by fast-growing invasive grasses, which can reduce habitat quality for wildlife, increase wildfire risk, and limit the return of native species.
8. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Puzzled. B. Impressed. C. Calmed. D. Defined.
9. What does paragraph 2 focus on about the new study?
A. What it revealed. B. Who supported it.
C. How it was conducted. D. Why it was mentioned.
10. Why did invasive species in milder regions flower earlier?
A. To respond to extreme heat. B. To escape pollinators’ attack.
C. To behave like native species. D. To avoid competition with natives.
11. What does the new research reveal about invasive species?
A. They are more adaptive than natives.
B. They contribute to local biodiversity.
C. They warn people of natural disasters.
D. They can pose threats to native species.
D
Partying the night before a big exam. Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation. Running a 5K in a heavy Halloween costume. All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation. “Much previous research has explained it as a matter of personality,” said Yang Xiang, a psychology researcher.
Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works socially. Their theory suggests people often judge someone’s competence from only one or two performances. So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments. “You’re doing this because it works,” Xiang said.
To test the theory, the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could choose how their performance would be judged. 20 questions were provided, and 8 correct answers meant a pass. Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions, while others on a random subset of 10. Choosing the random subset created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure, making it a form of self-handicapping.
As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed. However, this protection weakened when the strategy was seen through, suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it.
Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals. It has been linked with lower self-esteem (自尊), lower motivation, and declining student performance. The new research suggests that a shift in educators’ focus may help. When students are driven by the pressure to look smart, they remain highly likely to self-handicap. Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses. “By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.”
12. What may be the intention behind the behaviors in Paragraph 1?
A. To draw attention from others. B. To express unique personalities.
C. To relieve anxiety before an event. D. To make excuses for possible failure.
13. What does the underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Test. B. Follow. C. Influence. D. Record.
14. What can be concluded from the experiment?
A. Success depends on appropriate strategies.
B. Self-handicapping mainly benefits failures.
C. Self-handicapping can protect one’s image.
D. Average players are likeliest to self-handicap.
15. What do the researchers suggest educators do?
A. Adopt higher standards. B. Value individual growth.
C. Focus on measurable results. D. Stress success in tough tasks.

Having “Boring” Conversations Is Actually Good for You
Many people avoid small talk with colleagues or strangers. They tend to skip casual chats, believing such conversations are dull and meaningless. ____16____ However, new research reveals that these so-called boring conversations bring surprising benefits to both mental and physical health.
The study, published in a social psychology journal, conducted nine experiments involving 1,800 participants. Participants were asked to predict their feelings about discussing boring topics, such as history, mathematics, daily routines and insignificant life matters. ____17____ Unexpectedly, most participants ended up enjoying the conversations far more than they had expected, whether the chats took place online or in person, with friends or strangers.
____18____ It is not the topic itself but the level of engagement that determines the quality of a conversation. Even an ordinary topic can become meaningful when both parties listen attentively and respond sincerely. As naturally social beings, humans gain valuable emotional connection from such simple interactions.
Besides bringing joy, boring conversations also help reduce loneliness. Loneliness has little to do with the number of people one meets. ____19____ Avoiding casual small talk only deepens feelings of loneliness. Moreover, long-term loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, depression and other health issues. Short daily chats can gradually ease loneliness and lower related health risks.
____20____ More social contact does not guarantee a better mental state. Only respectful, equal and emotionally safe interactions can bring positive effects. Negative or unfriendly conversations offer no benefits at all. Therefore, we should keep an open mind toward ordinary small talk and not judge a conversation by its topic in advance.
A. They thought these talks would be boring and unpleasant.
B. Not all social communication is beneficial to our health.
C. They are more willing to talk about interesting topics.
D. The study comes to an encouraging conclusion.
E. Instead, it lies in real emotional communication.
F. People have known the importance of daily chats.
G. They consider meaningless small talk a waste of time.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was an arrogant (傲慢的) high school boy full of blind self-confidence, firmly believing that I was more capable than all my classmates at managing group tasks. When our teacher formally announced that our school would hold a lively campus charity fair to raise money for poor children in remote villages, I volunteered without hesitation to take charge of the second-hand book stall. I also actively persuaded nearly ten warm-hearted classmates to donate their unused books to support my booth.
My thoughtful classmate Lina had kindly reminded me in advance to classify different kinds of books, mark clear and reasonable prices, and design simple promotional posters to attract visitors. However, I rudely turned down her sincere advice and even laughed openly at her for being overly cautious. I gathered large piles of various books, including interesting storybooks, popular magazines and practical exam reference books. Without any careful arrangement, I stuffed these mixed books randomly into several rough cardboard boxes.
On the official day of the charity fair, while other groups devoted plenty of time and energy to decorating their stalls with colorful ribbons and beautiful handwritten signs, I did almost no preparation at all. I just laid all my books in a total mess on the table and wandered around the campus casually, firmly convinced that high-quality books alone would naturally draw a large number of buyers.
As noon slowly rolled around, all the neighboring stalls were packed with busy and energetic students. In sharp contrast, almost no one stopped or spared a glance at my book booth. Worse still, several reference books accidentally slipped off the table and got badly stained by the fruit juice spilled by passing students.
Standing alone beside my cold booth, I watched Lina’s handmade toy stall become extremely popular and listened to their cheerful and merry laughter. Strong regret and great embarrassment wrapped me tightly. I fully realized that my stupid arrogance and laziness had wasted my classmates’ kind donations. Just as I sank into deep self-blame and despair, Lina finished her temporary work and walked straight towards me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list.

Due to a rare disease, 17-year-old Noah Cervantes has difficulty using conventional toys. His mother Danielle Jackson found adapted toys online, but they cost over $100 each. She then searched for a local organization and connected with Michael Dicpinigaitis, a Cornell student who founded the Big Red Adaptive Play and Design Initiative (APDI).
The group trained students to adapt toys for children with disabilities. At first, only a few students worked on adapting toys. But since 2021, more than 100 volunteers have joined, building a large lending library available to nine local schools and recovery centers.
“It’s amazing to have people so invested in your kid gaining independence and enjoying life,” Jackson said, “You don’t realize what disabled kids miss when they can’t even dress themselves or open their own lunchboxes.”
Dicpinigaitis began this work in high school after seeing a video of a child with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) playing independently with an adapted toy. He taught himself to adapt toys and wanted to continue the service at Cornell. Recently, the group has shifted from general toy adaptation to tailoring solutions for individual needs. On March 24, they worked with Ithaca College to adapt battery-powered toy cars for four children with mobility difficulties.
For these children, APDI brings light to their life. The adapted toys mean more than toys — they represent being together with ordinary children. Jackson said the toys allowed Noah and his brothers and sisters to play together for the first time. “Before, someone had to sit with him and assist him through. Now they all do the same thing,” she said. Kelly Clark, a psychologist guiding the group, said, “We want to make sure kids with disabilities have access to everything the rest do.”
The group now designs 3D-printed aids for communication devices and daily duties. They plan to become an official Cornell Engineering team to ensure their mission continues.
4. What made Jackson turn to APDI?
A. Her son’s dislike of traditional toys. B. The prices of specially designed toys.
C. Her son’s difficulty in adapting toys. D. The fame of Dicpinigaitis in medicine.
5. Which word can best describe Dicpinigaitis?
A. Reputation-driven. B. Profit-seeking.
C. Community-caring. D. Detail-focused.
6. What can we learn about APDI?
A. It helps children feel included. B. It benefits the disability recovery.
C. It contributes to kids’ dependence. D. It specializes in general adaptation.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A mother’s effort to find a tailored cure.
B. A Cornell student’s path to starting a business.
C. An approach to promoting unconventional toys.
D. An organization adapting toys for disabled kids.

For over 150 years, biologists have been perplexed by a question even Charles Darwin couldn’t fully answer: Why do some plants arrive in a new place and spread rapidly, while others barely survive? In On the Origin of Species, Darwin proposed two competing ideas about successful invasive (入侵的) plants: they are similar to native plants and already suited to local conditions or they are different enough to avoid direct competition. For years, evidence seemed to support both ideas, but the broader pattern remained unclear.
Tadeo Ramirez-Parada and his team at UC Santa Barbara turned to herbaria, collections of preserved plant specimens (标本) gathered over centuries. Each dried plant comes with valuable information, including where and when it was collected, and whether it was flowering at the time. The team focused on flowering time, a critical factor in plant reproduction. Using specimen records, historical weather data, and advanced statistical methods, the researchers estimated flowering periods for thousands of species. They then compared invasive and native plants across regions.
The results of the new study revealed a striking pattern. In regions with harsh conditions like extreme heat, cold or dryness, successful invasive plants responded to the same environmental cues as established species did. In milder regions with greater biodiversity, invasive species often flowered significantly earlier so they could attract pollinators (传粉者) before natives, and produce seeds sooner and spread them over a longer period.
The findings may help land managers identify future threats before they become major problems. In mild climates, evolutionarily distinct invasive plants may deserve closer attention. In harsher climates, introduced species that behave like native plants may pose the greatest risk.
The research also highlights concerns about invasive annual grasses, which have transformed many ecosystems. In California, large areas once supported diverse communities of native grasses and wildflowers, but today, many of those landscapes are dominated by fast-growing invasive grasses, which can reduce habitat quality for wildlife, increase wildfire risk, and limit the return of native species.
8. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Puzzled. B. Impressed. C. Calmed. D. Defined.
9. What does paragraph 2 focus on about the new study?
A. What it revealed. B. Who supported it.
C. How it was conducted. D. Why it was mentioned.
10. Why did invasive species in milder regions flower earlier?
A. To respond to extreme heat. B. To escape pollinators’ attack.
C. To behave like native species. D. To avoid competition with natives.
11. What does the new research reveal about invasive species?
A. They are more adaptive than natives.
B. They contribute to local biodiversity.
C. They warn people of natural disasters.
D. They can pose threats to native species.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍一项关于外来入侵植物的新研究,探究了不同环境下入侵植物的生长开花规律,并阐述了该研究的应用价值以及入侵植物对生态系统造成的危害。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“For over 150 years, biologists have been perplexed by a question even Charles Darwin couldn’t fully answer: Why do some plants arrive in a new place and spread rapidly, while others barely survive?(150多年来,生物学家一直被一个连查尔斯·达尔文都无法完全解答的问题所perplexed:为什么有些植物到达新环境后能迅速扩散,而另一些却难以生存?)”可知,这个问题连达尔文都没能完全解决,说明它非常令人困惑。A选项“Puzzled(困惑的)”与文意相符。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The team focused on flowering time, a critical factor in plant reproduction. Using specimen records, historical weather data, and advanced statistical methods, the researchers estimated flowering periods for thousands of species. They then compared invasive and native plants across regions.(研究团队聚焦于开花时间这一植物繁殖的关键因素。利用标本记录、历史气象数据和先进的统计方法,研究人员估算了数千种植物的花期。随后,他们比较了不同地区入侵植物与本土植物的情况。)”可知,本段主要描述了研究是如何开展的(数据来源、研究方法、分析过程)。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In milder regions with greater biodiversity, invasive species often flowered significantly earlier so they could attract pollinators (传粉者) before natives, and produce seeds sooner and spread them over a longer period.(在生物多样性更丰富、气候更温和的地区,入侵植物通常开花显著更早,以便在本土植物之前吸引传粉者,并更快地结籽且在更长时间内传播。)”可知,提早开花是为了抢占资源,避免与本土植物发生竞争。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In California, large areas once supported diverse communities of native grasses and wildflowers, but today, many of those landscapes are dominated by fast-growing invasive grasses, which can reduce habitat quality for wildlife, increase wildfire risk, and limit the return of native species.(在加利福尼亚州,大片区域曾支撑着由本土草本植物和野花组成的多样化群落,但如今,许多这样的地貌已被快速生长的入侵草本植物所主导,这会降低野生动物的栖息地质量,增加野火风险,并限制本土物种的恢复。)”可知,新研究揭示了入侵物种会对本土物种构成威胁。

Partying the night before a big exam. Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation. Running a 5K in a heavy Halloween costume. All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation. “Much previous research has explained it as a matter of personality,” said Yang Xiang, a psychology researcher.
Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works socially. Their theory suggests people often judge someone’s competence from only one or two performances. So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments. “You’re doing this because it works,” Xiang said.
To test the theory, the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could choose how their performance would be judged. 20 questions were provided, and 8 correct answers meant a pass. Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions, while others on a random subset of 10. Choosing the random subset created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure, making it a form of self-handicapping.
As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed. However, this protection weakened when the strategy was seen through, suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it.
Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals. It has been linked with lower self-esteem (自尊), lower motivation, and declining student performance. The new research suggests that a shift in educators’ focus may help. When students are driven by the pressure to look smart, they remain highly likely to self-handicap. Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses. “By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.”
12. What may be the intention behind the behaviors in Paragraph 1?
A. To draw attention from others. B. To express unique personalities.
C. To relieve anxiety before an event. D. To make excuses for possible failure.
13. What does the underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Test. B. Follow. C. Influence. D. Record.
14. What can be concluded from the experiment?
A. Success depends on appropriate strategies.
B. Self-handicapping mainly benefits failures.
C. Self-handicapping can protect one’s image.
D. Average players are likeliest to self-handicap.
15. What do the researchers suggest educators do?
A. Adopt higher standards. B. Value individual growth.
C. Focus on measurable results. D. Stress success in tough tasks.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍心理学中的自我设限行为,其原理、相关实验以及对教育的启示。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation.(这些都是心理学家所说的“自我设限”的例子——为成功设置障碍,以此维护自己的名声。)”可知,这类行为是为可能到来的失败提前找借口。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments.(所以,如果一个人预计会被他人评价,制造障碍就能为失败提供另一种解释。这样一来,自我设限就是试图game这些评价。)”可知,人们通过自我设限来影响别人对自己能力的评判,game此处含义为“影响,操纵”,与Influence同义。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed.(模型证实,这种行为在最不容易失败,也最不容易成功的人群中最常见。当自我设限者成功时,评判者会给予极高评价;该行为也会弱化人们对失败者的负面评价。)”可知,自我设限能够保护一个人的形象。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses.(相反,关注学生的进步而非排名,能够进一步减少他们找借口的需求。)”可知,研究者建议教育者重视学生个人成长。
三、七选五
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Having “Boring” Conversations Is Actually Good for You
Many people avoid small talk with colleagues or strangers. They tend to skip casual chats, believing such conversations are dull and meaningless. ____16____ However, new research reveals that these so-called boring conversations bring surprising benefits to both mental and physical health.
The study, published in a social psychology journal, conducted nine experiments involving 1,800 participants. Participants were asked to predict their feelings about discussing boring topics, such as history, mathematics, daily routines and insignificant life matters. ____17____ Unexpectedly, most participants ended up enjoying the conversations far more than they had expected, whether the chats took place online or in person, with friends or strangers.
____18____ It is not the topic itself but the level of engagement that determines the quality of a conversation. Even an ordinary topic can become meaningful when both parties listen attentively and respond sincerely. As naturally social beings, humans gain valuable emotional connection from such simple interactions.
Besides bringing joy, boring conversations also help reduce loneliness. Loneliness has little to do with the number of people one meets. ____19____ Avoiding casual small talk only deepens feelings of loneliness. Moreover, long-term loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, depression and other health issues. Short daily chats can gradually ease loneliness and lower related health risks.
____20____ More social contact does not guarantee a better mental state. Only respectful, equal and emotionally safe interactions can bring positive effects. Negative or unfriendly conversations offer no benefits at all. Therefore, we should keep an open mind toward ordinary small talk and not judge a conversation by its topic in advance.
A. They thought these talks would be boring and unpleasant.
B. Not all social communication is beneficial to our health.
C. They are more willing to talk about interesting topics.
D. The study comes to an encouraging conclusion.
E. Instead, it lies in real emotional communication.
F. People have known the importance of daily chats.
G. They consider meaningless small talk a waste of time.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】人们普遍嫌弃无意义闲聊,可研究表明平淡对话有益身心。交流质量取决于投入程度,闲聊缓解孤独,但只有友善平等的沟通,才能带来积极作用。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Many people avoid small talk with colleagues or strangers. They tend to skip casual chats, believing such conversations are dull and meaningless. (许多人会回避与同事或陌生人闲聊,他们倾向于跳过随意的交谈,认为这类对话枯燥无味且毫无意义。)”以及后文“However, new research reveals that these so-called boring conversations bring surprising benefits to both mental and physical health. (然而,最新研究显示,这些所谓的枯燥对话对身心健康却带来了意想不到的好处。)”可知,第一段前文提到人们认为闲聊无聊无意义,G选项“他们认为无意义的闲聊是浪费时间。”延续了人们对闲聊的负面看法,引出后文转折,符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The study, published in a social psychology journal, conducted nine experiments involving 1,800 participants. Participants were asked to predict their feelings about discussing boring topics, such as history, mathematics, daily routines and insignificant life matters. (这项研究发表在一本社会心理学期刊上,共进行了九项实验,涉及1800名参与者。参与者被要求预测自己对讨论枯燥话题(如历史、数学、日常事务以及无足轻重的生活琐事)的感受。)”以及后文“Unexpectedly, most participants ended up enjoying the conversations far more than they had expected, whether the chats took place online or in person, with friends or strangers. (出乎意料的是,大多数参与者最终发现,无论聊天是线上还是线下,与朋友或陌生人交流时,他们对这些对话的享受程度远超预期。)”可知,第二段前文提到实验要求参与者提前预测对无聊话题的感受,后文提到结果比预期更愉快,A选项“他们原本认为这些对话会无聊又让人不快。”对应了参与者最初的预期,衔接后文“出乎意料”的结果,符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据后文“It is not the topic itself but the level of engagement that determines the quality of a conversation. Even an ordinary topic can become meaningful when both parties listen attentively and respond sincerely. As naturally social beings, humans gain valuable emotional connection from such simple interactions .(真正决定对话质量的并非话题本身,而是参与的深度。即使是一个普通的话题,只要双方都认真倾听并真诚回应,也能变得富有意义。作为天生具有社交本能的人类,我们从这样简单的互动中获得宝贵的情感联结。)”可知,第三段后文开始阐述实验得出的观点,D选项“该研究得出了一个令人振奋的结论。”总领本段,引出下文的结论内容,符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Besides bringing joy, boring conversations also help reduce loneliness. Loneliness has little to do with the number of people one meets. (除了带来快乐之外,枯燥的聊天还有助于缓解孤独感。孤独感与你遇到的人数关系不大。)”以及后文“Avoiding casual small talk only deepens feelings of loneliness. Moreover, long-term loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, depression and other health issues. Short daily chats can gradually ease loneliness and lower related health risks. (避免随意的闲聊只会加深孤独感。此外,长期孤独会增加患心脏病、抑郁症及其他健康问题的风险。每天进行简短的交谈,可以逐渐缓解孤独感,并降低相关健康风险。)”可知,第四段前文提到孤独和社交人数无关,E选项“相反,孤独源于缺乏真实的情绪交流。”承接前文的否定,给出正确观点,衔接后文内容,符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据后文“More social contact does not guarantee a better mental state. Only respectful, equal and emotionally safe interactions can bring positive effects. Negative or unfriendly conversations offer no benefits at all. Therefore, we should keep an open mind toward ordinary small talk and not judge a conversation by its topic in advance. (更多的社交互动并不能保证心理状态更好。只有尊重、平等且情感安全的交流才能带来积极影响。负面或不友好的对话则毫无益处。因此,我们应以开放的心态对待日常闲聊,不要事先根据话题来评判一场对话。)”可知,第五段后文提到更多社交不代表更好的精神状态,只有积极互动才有益,B选项“不是所有社交都对健康有益。”总领本段,引出后文的说明,符合语境。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影深深植根于独特的潮汕文化,采用了95%的方言对话以及功夫茶、英歌舞等当地传统,使整个故事充满了文化魅力。句中已有谓语adopts,空处为非谓语动词,be rooted in为固定搭配,意为“植根于”,去掉be动词,使用过去分词形式作状语。

【38题详解】
考查强调句型。句意:引起全国观众共鸣的不仅仅是地域背景,更是其背后隐藏的情感。本句使用强调句“It is + 被强调部分 + that + 其他”的结构,被强调部分为“not merely the regional setting but the hidden emotions behind it”,空处应用that。
【39题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:这部电影的核心概念是“侨批”,这是海外华人一个重要的文化象征,指的是海外华人寄给家乡亲戚的手写信件和文件。本句使用倒装结构,此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语为“the concept of “Qiaopi””,be动词用is。

【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:电影突出了含蓄的美学,这无疑是中国传统艺术表达的一种标志。空处修饰名词expression,应用名词art的形容词形式artistic,意为“艺术的”,作定语。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:不识字的海外华人在希望将口头情感转化为更简洁的书面文字时,会求助于专业作家。translate...into...为固定搭配,意为“把……转化为……”。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这种温柔的表达方式使侨批文化超越了时间——一种安静而强大的力量,继续触动着不同土地上各个年龄段的观众。空处修饰可数名词force,表示“一种力量”,且quiet以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。

第二节:读后续写(满分25分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was an arrogant (傲慢的) high school boy full of blind self-confidence, firmly believing that I was more capable than all my classmates at managing group tasks. When our teacher formally announced that our school would hold a lively campus charity fair to raise money for poor children in remote villages, I volunteered without hesitation to take charge of the second-hand book stall. I also actively persuaded nearly ten warm-hearted classmates to donate their unused books to support my booth.
My thoughtful classmate Lina had kindly reminded me in advance to classify different kinds of books, mark clear and reasonable prices, and design simple promotional posters to attract visitors. However, I rudely turned down her sincere advice and even laughed openly at her for being overly cautious. I gathered large piles of various books, including interesting storybooks, popular magazines and practical exam reference books. Without any careful arrangement, I stuffed these mixed books randomly into several rough cardboard boxes.
On the official day of the charity fair, while other groups devoted plenty of time and energy to decorating their stalls with colorful ribbons and beautiful handwritten signs, I did almost no preparation at all. I just laid all my books in a total mess on the table and wandered around the campus casually, firmly convinced that high-quality books alone would naturally draw a large number of buyers.
As noon slowly rolled around, all the neighboring stalls were packed with busy and energetic students. In sharp contrast, almost no one stopped or spared a glance at my book booth. Worse still, several reference books accidentally slipped off the table and got badly stained by the fruit juice spilled by passing students.
Standing alone beside my cold booth, I watched Lina’s handmade toy stall become extremely popular and listened to their cheerful and merry laughter. Strong regret and great embarrassment wrapped me tightly. I fully realized that my stupid arrogance and laziness had wasted my classmates’ kind donations. Just as I sank into deep self-blame and despair, Lina finished her temporary work and walked straight towards me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version
Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan. Eager to make amends, I nodded gratefully and we set it in motion. Our forces joined, we split the messy pile into three categories: fairy tales, novels, and review materials. Lina set about creating eye-catching price tags with colorful pens, whereas I humbly borrowed long, elegant ribbons to decorate our table. Knowing students hunted for cheap books, we wiped the juice-stained copies clean and shouted warm promotions. Gradually, as a steady stream of curious buyers gathered, my face flushed with profound guilt for mocking her careful suggestions before.
When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list. To our immense thrill, the collected cash far exceeded our expectations. The heavy donation box in my hands, I turned to Lina with red-rimmed eyes. Not only did I formally apologize for my unbearable arrogance, but I also thanked her for saving the day. She accepted it softly, a forgiving smile washing away my lingering guilt. Ultimately, this unforgettable experience engraved a priceless truth in my mind: true success is rooted in collaboration rather than blind pride. From then on, I swallowed my ego, always ready to embrace others’ valuable advice.
