B
For years, Peter M. Williams spent his days, with a small magnifying glass (放大镜), bringing old, broken watches back to life. The master watchmaker never expected many people to care. But today, the 54-year-old Scotsman has over 2.5 million followers online by simply fixing watches.
Williams runs a small repair shop in Edinburgh. He started posting videos out of boredom. He takes apart disabled watches other shops have given up on. One video, restoring a 1940s military watch run over by a tractor, has been viewed over 80 million times.
“I call myself a ‘restoration artist’, but really, I’m just someone who likes to fix things,” Williams said. Unlike fast automated production lines, his work is very slow. “You aren’t just fixing a machine; you are repairing a memory,” he says. “A customer sent me his father’s watch last week. It hadn’t worked for 35 years. When I got the second hand moving again, he cried.”
Many people walk past broken watches in flea markets, seeing only waste. But Williams sees something they don’t. Williams’ success is part of the “mending movement” online, a stand against throwaway culture. While his shop mainly fixes expensive watches, he also supports repairing cheap but meaningful items. “People ask, ‘Is it worthwhile fixing a 50-year-old watch?’” I tell them, “‘Can you replace the memory of your wedding day?’” he says.
Although his father was a clockmaker, Williams didn’t want to follow that path at first. He chose to study design instead. After losing his job during the 2008 financial crisis, he returned to the family workbench. “I don’t regret choosing a different path first,” he says. “This isn’t just a job; it’s my family’s heritage.”
He now sells restoration tool sets for beginners and offers online lessons to help keep watchmaking alive. “My goal is to make people understand that ‘broken’ doesn’t mean ‘garbage’,” he says. “With patience, anything can tick again.” As Williams likes to say, don’t judge a watch by its silence.
4. Why did Williams start posting videos?
A. To show off great skills. B. To pass the time.
C. To ease others’ boredom. D. To draw attention.
5. What does Williams mean by mentioning “repairing a memory”?
A. Old watches hold emotional value. B. Old watches improve memory.
C. Old watches keep valuable photos. D. Old watches have resale value.
6. How can we describe Williams’ career path?
A. Easy and promising. B. Smooth and profitable.
C. Risky yet successful. D. Winding yet meaningful.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. A watched pot never boils. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. Better to mend than to end. D. A penny saved is a penny earned.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述苏格兰钟表修复师Peter M. Williams坚持修复老旧破损手表,通过网络分享修复视频走红,坚守修复工艺、反对一次性消费文化,并传承钟表制作技艺的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He started posting videos out of boredom.(他出于无聊开始发布视频。)”可知,Williams发布视频最初是为了打发时间。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“You aren’t just fixing a machine; you are repairing a memory,” he says. “A customer sent me his father’s watch last week. It hadn’t worked for 35 years. When I got the second hand moving again, he cried.(“你不仅仅是在修理一台机器;你是在修复一段记忆,”他说,“上周一位顾客寄来了他父亲的表。那表已经坏了35年了。当我让秒针再次走动时,他落泪了。”)”可知,老旧手表承载着人们珍贵的情感回忆,具备情感价值。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Although his father was a clockmaker, Williams didn’t want to follow that path at first. He chose to study design instead. After losing his job during the 2008 financial crisis, he returned to the family workbench. ‘I don’t regret choosing a different path first,’ he says. ‘This isn’t just a job; it’s my family’s heritage.’(虽然他的父亲是一名制表师,但Williams起初并不想走这条路。他选择了学习设计。2008年金融危机失业后,他回到了家里的工坊。‘我不后悔当初选择了不同的道路,’他说,‘这不仅仅是一份工作;这是我家族的传承。’)”可知,他的职业道路曲折坎坷,而他坚守修复事业、传承家族技艺,极具意义。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My goal is to make people understand that ‘broken’ doesn’t mean ‘garbage’. With patience, anything can tick again.(我的目标是让人们明白‘破损’并不意味着‘垃圾’。只要有耐心,任何东西都能再次嘀嗒作响。)”以及“don’t judge a watch by its silence.(不要以寂静来判断一块表。)”可知,文章传达的核心思想是“修补胜过丢弃”。C选项“Better to mend than to end(与其丢弃,不如修补)”最能体现这一主旨。
C
“I know I’m part of the factors causing the climate crisis from our climate lessons. These are man-made issues,” explains Srun Sokly, a 12th grader in southern Cambodia. “When humans take too much from the natural environment, we create emissions and pollute the environment.”
Sokly has witnessed the damage firsthand. “I see floods and heat, and we are highly affected,” she recalls. In 2023, her school was hit hard by a record-breaking heatwave. With no fans and temperatures rocketing past 40℃, students had to skip classes. Her experience has reflected a larger reality. In 2024, over 3.38 million students in Cambodia faced climate-related school closures and class cancellations.
In class, Sokly learns how to reduce her carbon footprint by saving electricity, planting trees, and avoiding plastic. “I don’t feel that not doing anything is right,” says her classmate Sovichara. “Even if the issue is global, we still can do something.” Younger students are following suit. Keo Tevy, a sixth grader, helps care for her school’s garden. “I don’t use plastic bags, bottles or even cups here because they pollute our environment,” she says firmly.
What makes these students special is that they become teachers at home. Tevy never allows her mother to take new plastic bags at the market. “We have many used bags at home, so I try to push to reuse them,” she explains. She also brings her own water bottle to school. Similarly, Sokly encourages her parents to plant more trees. “Once in a while, we feel guilty when we use plastic,” she admits. “That is why we try not to become polluters.”
According to their principal, some parents have started listening. They learn from their children and begin to cut down on plastic waste and save electricity. “We need to take action,” Sokly concludes. “It starts with us setting an example. We learned it in class, so now we’ve gotta live it.”
8. How is the topic presented in the first paragraph?
A. By citing a student. B. By defining a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison.
9. What does the author mainly present in paragraph 2?
A. The shortage of cooling devices worldwide.
B. The importance of environmental knowledge.
C. The severity of the climate impact on education.
D. The difficulty in keeping normal school operations.
10. What does the underlined words “following suit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Following others to a new place. B. Wearing a formal set of suit.
C. Doing the same things as others. D. Giving up on a challenging task.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Learning Climate Science in Schools B. Turning Climate Lessons into Real Action
C. How Parents Learn to Reduce Plastic Use D. How to Fight with Climate Crisis Globally
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述柬埔寨学生学习气候知识后主动践行环保行动,并带动家长参与,将课堂所学转化为实际环保举措的故事。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘I know I’m part of the factors causing the climate crisis from our climate lessons. These are man-made issues,’ explains Srun Sokly, a 12th grader in southern Cambodia. ‘When humans take too much from the natural environment, we create emissions and pollute the environment.’(‘我知道从气候课上学到,我是导致气候危机的因素之一。这些都是人为造成的问题,’柬埔寨南部的一名12年级学生斯伦·索克利解释道。‘当人类从自然环境中索取过多时,我们就会产生排放物并污染环境。’)”可知,文章首段通过引用一名学生的话语引出气候危机的话题。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Sokly has witnessed the damage firsthand. “I see floods and heat, and we are highly affected,” she recalls. In 2023, her school was hit hard by a record-breaking heatwave. With no fans and temperatures rocketing past 40℃, students had to skip classes. Her experience has reflected a larger reality. In 2024, over 3.38 million students in Cambodia faced climate-related school closures and class cancellations.(索克利亲眼目睹了这些破坏。她回忆道:“我见证了洪水与高温灾害,我们深受其害。”2023年,她的学校遭遇破纪录的热浪重创,没有风扇、气温突破40摄氏度,学生被迫停课。她的经历折射出普遍现状,2024年柬埔寨超338万名学生因气候问题被迫停课。)”可知,第二段主要介绍气候灾害对教育造成的严重负面影响。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“In class, Sokly learns how to reduce her carbon footprint by saving electricity, planting trees, and avoiding plastic. “I don’t feel that not doing anything is right,” says her classmate Sovichara. “Even if the issue is global, we still can do something.” Younger students are following suit.(在课堂上,索克利学习如何通过节约用电、植树造林以及少用塑料制品来减少自己的碳足迹。她的同学索维查拉说道:“我觉得坐视不管是不对的。即便这是全球性难题,我们依然能尽一份力。”年纪更小的学生也following suit。)”可知,高年级学生主动践行环保行为,低年级学生也跟着做同样的事,following suit意为“效仿他人、照做”。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“‘We need to take action,’ Sokly concludes. ‘It starts with us setting an example. We learned it in class, so now we’ve gotta live it.’(索克利总结道:‘我们需要付诸行动,从我们以身作则开始。我们在课堂上学到了环保知识,如今就要践行到底。’)”可知,全文核心是柬埔寨学生将课堂所学的气候环保知识,落实到日常生活行动中,题目“将气候课堂知识转化为实际行动”概括了文章主旨,适合作为标题。

For many parents and educators, keeping children constantly engaged in productive activities is a top priority. From piano lessons to math tutoring, a child’s schedule is often packed from morning to night. The enemy is “boredom”. Most parents worry that too much idle time will hold back their child’s growth and limit their future potential. However, a growing number of psychologists argue that boredom is not the enemy; in fact, it is a key element for creativity and mental development.
When a child complains, “I’m bored,” an adult’s first reaction is often to provide a solution, like turning on a tablet or suggesting a game. But by doing so, we may be robbing children of a valuable opportunity. Boredom creates a mental state where the mind, no longer occupied by external input, begins to wander. This wandering is the birthplace of creativity. Without a screen to watch or a structured activity to follow, a child is forced to use their own imagination to invent games, tell stories, or explore their surroundings.
This idea is supported by research. Studies have shown that people who engaged in a “boring” task (like copying numbers from a phone book) afterward performed better on creative problem-solving tests than those who did a relaxing task first. The theory is that boredom signals to the brain that the current situation is lacking, which motivates the brain to seek out new and more rewarding mental space. Boredom, in other words, tells the mind it’s time to do something.
Of course, not all boredom is equal. Constant, unstructured boredom without any resources or a safe environment can be negative, leading to feelings of frustration or hopelessness. The key is balanced boredom. This means providing children with a rich environment, books, art supplies, a backyard, and then stepping back to let them figure things out for themselves.
Next time your child says, “I’m bored,” try to resist the urge to solve the problem. Instead, you might say, “That’s great. See what you can come up with.” You might be surprised by the creativity that follows.
12. What do most parents believe about boredom?
A. It limits children’s development. B. It damages kids’ physical health.
C. It arises from too heavy burden. D. It reduces children’s imagination.
13. Why does boredom inspire creativity from the brain’s working rule?
A. It enables the brain to rest. B. It helps kids solve challenges.
C. It increases self-confidence. D. It drives the brain to seek more.
14. What influence will unstructured boredom bring to children?
A. Better problem-solving skills. B. Negative feelings like disappointment.
C. Willingness to explore nature. D. More dependence on electronic products.
15. What advice does the author give parents when their kids feel bored?
A. Share creative stories with kids. B. Offer activities to cheer kids up.
C. Leave kids alone and ignore them. D. Inspire kids to amuse themselves.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述多数家长害怕孩子无聊,而心理学家指出适度无聊能激发创造力;无资源支撑的长期无聊会带来负面情绪,家长应放手让孩子自主打发无聊时光。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Most parents worry that too much idle time will hold back their child’s growth and limit their future potential. (大多数家长担心过多空闲时间会阻碍孩子成长,限制他们未来的发展潜力。)”可知,大多数家长认为无聊会限制孩子的发展。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The theory is that boredom signals to the brain that the current situation is lacking, which motivates the brain to seek out new and more rewarding mental space. (该理论认为,无聊向大脑传递当前状态存在不足的信号,促使大脑去寻找全新、更有价值的精神思考空间。)”可知,从大脑运作机制来看,无聊会驱动大脑主动去探寻更多事物,从而激发创造力。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Constant, unstructured boredom without any resources or a safe environment can be negative, leading to feelings of frustration or hopelessness. (长期、无规划的无聊,再加上缺乏资源与安全环境,会产生消极影响,使人滋生挫败感或绝望感。)”可知,无规划的无聊会带给孩子失望这类消极情绪。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Next time your child says, “I’m bored,” try to resist the urge to solve the problem. Instead, you might say, “That’s great. See what you can come up with.” (下次孩子说“我好无聊”时,克制住立刻帮他解决的冲动,你可以说“挺好的,看看你能想出什么”。)”可推断,作者建议家长启发孩子自己找乐子、自主打发时间。

My Views on Having Breakfast in Classrooms

【答案】
My Views on Having Breakfast in Classrooms
Recently, some students eat breakfast in classrooms during breaks. Though it is understandable that they are in a hurry, I think it is inappropriate. Eating in class not only causes hygiene problems but also distracts others. Besides, if we eat hastily, it may harm our digestion.
To solve this, I suggest that we should get up earlier to have breakfast properly in the dining hall. The school can also offer quick “grab-and-go” options so that students can save time.
Let’s respect our learning environment and build healthier habits. A nutritious breakfast is the best start to a day.

47. 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。
My dad finally took us camping by the sea. I had been looking forward to it, but maybe for the wrong reason. I thought I could go online and text my friends all day. After all, what was the point of a beautiful beach if you couldn’t share it? I imagined posting photos and watching the likes pile up. That sounded like the perfect day.
We got there around noon. The sun was bright, the water was a deep sparkling blue, and the sand felt warm beneath my feet. My little brother Jack ran straight into the shallow water, screaming with joy. My sister Lily, only six, started picking up shells one by one, holding each to her ear as if listening to a secret. “Come and play!” they shouted, their voices full of excitement. I just found a smooth rock to sit on, pulled out my phone, and started scrolling.
My dad stood at the water’s edge, looking out at the sea. “Isn’t it beautiful?” he said softly. I nodded without looking up. Jack and Lily came running to me again and again. “Look at this shell!” “Let’s build something!” I kept saying. “In a minute,” I added, without moving my eyes from the screen. But that minute never came. The sun climbed higher, and I stayed right where I was.
Then I saw my dad walking toward me. His face was serious, not angry but disappointed. “Have you seen the sea?” he asked. I said nothing. “Have you heard your brother laugh?” Still nothing. He reached down, took my phone gently but firmly from my hands, and put it into his bag. “No phone for the rest of the day,” he said. I was so angry that I could feel my face burn. I crossed my arms tightly and sat there on the rock, refusing to move, refusing to speak, and refusing to even look at anyone. The faint sound of playful voices and laughter murmured in my ears.

【答案】范文
After a while, I looked up at the busy Jack and Lily. “Does the sea really have the magic of filling their hearts with joy?” I wondered in my mind. Though confused, I decided to have a shot. The instant my feet touched the seawater, a wave of freshness and comfort washed over me. When I held a shell to my ear, I seemed to hear the wild cry of the ocean. Driven by an urge deep within me, I stepped closer and joined in their games. When the setting sun cast soft rays upon us and the boundless sea, we knew it was time to head back.
When we got back to the tent, Dad handed me my phone. “Here you are!” he said. I was still bathed in the joy of the sea, almost questioning whether I needed to carry my phone around at all. Sensing my hesitation, Dad placed the phone gently into my palm and added, “It’s great to embrace technological advances, but what really counts is how we make the most of them.” His words struck me. Eventually, I came to realize that technology exists to serve us, not to chain us to screens. The splendid world is calling us to explore, and the moments spent with family and nature will always be the true melody of life.

For years, Peter M. Williams spent his days, with a small magnifying glass (放大镜), bringing old, broken watches back to life. The master watchmaker never expected many people to care. But today, the 54-year-old Scotsman has over 2.5 million followers online by simply fixing watches.
Williams runs a small repair shop in Edinburgh. He started posting videos out of boredom. He takes apart disabled watches other shops have given up on. One video, restoring a 1940s military watch run over by a tractor, has been viewed over 80 million times.
“I call myself a ‘restoration artist’, but really, I’m just someone who likes to fix things,” Williams said. Unlike fast automated production lines, his work is very slow. “You aren’t just fixing a machine; you are repairing a memory,” he says. “A customer sent me his father’s watch last week. It hadn’t worked for 35 years. When I got the second hand moving again, he cried.”
Many people walk past broken watches in flea markets, seeing only waste. But Williams sees something they don’t. Williams’ success is part of the “mending movement” online, a stand against throwaway culture. While his shop mainly fixes expensive watches, he also supports repairing cheap but meaningful items. “People ask, ‘Is it worthwhile fixing a 50-year-old watch?’” I tell them, “‘Can you replace the memory of your wedding day?’” he says.
Although his father was a clockmaker, Williams didn’t want to follow that path at first. He chose to study design instead. After losing his job during the 2008 financial crisis, he returned to the family workbench. “I don’t regret choosing a different path first,” he says. “This isn’t just a job; it’s my family’s heritage.”
He now sells restoration tool sets for beginners and offers online lessons to help keep watchmaking alive. “My goal is to make people understand that ‘broken’ doesn’t mean ‘garbage’,” he says. “With patience, anything can tick again.” As Williams likes to say, don’t judge a watch by its silence.
4. Why did Williams start posting videos?
A. To show off great skills. B. To pass the time.
C. To ease others’ boredom. D. To draw attention.
5. What does Williams mean by mentioning “repairing a memory”?
A. Old watches hold emotional value. B. Old watches improve memory.
C. Old watches keep valuable photos. D. Old watches have resale value.
6. How can we describe Williams’ career path?
A. Easy and promising. B. Smooth and profitable.
C. Risky yet successful. D. Winding yet meaningful.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. A watched pot never boils. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. Better to mend than to end. D. A penny saved is a penny earned.
C
“I know I’m part of the factors causing the climate crisis from our climate lessons. These are man-made issues,” explains Srun Sokly, a 12th grader in southern Cambodia. “When humans take too much from the natural environment, we create emissions and pollute the environment.”
Sokly has witnessed the damage firsthand. “I see floods and heat, and we are highly affected,” she recalls. In 2023, her school was hit hard by a record-breaking heatwave. With no fans and temperatures rocketing past 40℃, students had to skip classes. Her experience has reflected a larger reality. In 2024, over 3.38 million students in Cambodia faced climate-related school closures and class cancellations.
In class, Sokly learns how to reduce her carbon footprint by saving electricity, planting trees, and avoiding plastic. “I don’t feel that not doing anything is right,” says her classmate Sovichara. “Even if the issue is global, we still can do something.” Younger students are following suit. Keo Tevy, a sixth grader, helps care for her school’s garden. “I don’t use plastic bags, bottles or even cups here because they pollute our environment,” she says firmly.
What makes these students special is that they become teachers at home. Tevy never allows her mother to take new plastic bags at the market. “We have many used bags at home, so I try to push to reuse them,” she explains. She also brings her own water bottle to school. Similarly, Sokly encourages her parents to plant more trees. “Once in a while, we feel guilty when we use plastic,” she admits. “That is why we try not to become polluters.”
According to their principal, some parents have started listening. They learn from their children and begin to cut down on plastic waste and save electricity. “We need to take action,” Sokly concludes. “It starts with us setting an example. We learned it in class, so now we’ve gotta live it.”
8. How is the topic presented in the first paragraph?
A. By citing a student. B. By defining a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison.
9. What does the author mainly present in paragraph 2?
A. The shortage of cooling devices worldwide.
B. The importance of environmental knowledge.
C. The severity of the climate impact on education.
D. The difficulty in keeping normal school operations.
10. What does the underlined words “following suit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Following others to a new place. B. Wearing a formal set of suit.
C. Doing the same things as others. D. Giving up on a challenging task.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Learning Climate Science in Schools B. Turning Climate Lessons into Real Action
C. How Parents Learn to Reduce Plastic Use D. How to Fight with Climate Crisis Globally
D
For many parents and educators, keeping children constantly engaged in productive activities is a top priority. From piano lessons to math tutoring, a child’s schedule is often packed from morning to night. The enemy is “boredom”. Most parents worry that too much idle time will hold back their child’s growth and limit their future potential. However, a growing number of psychologists argue that boredom is not the enemy; in fact, it is a key element for creativity and mental development.
When a child complains, “I’m bored,” an adult’s first reaction is often to provide a solution, like turning on a tablet or suggesting a game. But by doing so, we may be robbing children of a valuable opportunity. Boredom creates a mental state where the mind, no longer occupied by external input, begins to wander. This wandering is the birthplace of creativity. Without a screen to watch or a structured activity to follow, a child is forced to use their own imagination to invent games, tell stories, or explore their surroundings.
This idea is supported by research. Studies have shown that people who engaged in a “boring” task (like copying numbers from a phone book) afterward performed better on creative problem-solving tests than those who did a relaxing task first. The theory is that boredom signals to the brain that the current situation is lacking, which motivates the brain to seek out new and more rewarding mental space. Boredom, in other words, tells the mind it’s time to do something.
Of course, not all boredom is equal. Constant, unstructured boredom without any resources or a safe environment can be negative, leading to feelings of frustration or hopelessness.

47. 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。
My dad finally took us camping by the sea. I had been looking forward to it, but maybe for the wrong reason. I thought I could go online and text my friends all day. After all, what was the point of a beautiful beach if you couldn’t share it? I imagined posting photos and watching the likes pile up. That sounded like the perfect day.
We got there around noon. The sun was bright, the water was a deep sparkling blue, and the sand felt warm beneath my feet. My little brother Jack ran straight into the shallow water, screaming with joy. My sister Lily, only six, started picking up shells one by one, holding each to her ear as if listening to a secret. “Come and play!” they shouted, their voices full of excitement. I just found a smooth rock to sit on, pulled out my phone, and started scrolling.
My dad stood at the water’s edge, looking out at the sea. “Isn’t it beautiful?” he said softly. I nodded without looking up. Jack and Lily came running to me again and again. “Look at this shell!” “Let’s build something!” I kept saying. “In a minute,” I added, without moving my eyes from the screen. But that minute never came. The sun climbed higher, and I stayed right where I was.
Then I saw my dad walking toward me. His face was serious, not angry but disappointed. “Have you seen the sea?” he asked. I said nothing. “Have you heard your brother laugh?” Still nothing. He reached down, took my phone gently but firmly from my hands, and put it into his bag. “No phone for the rest of the day,” he said. I was so angry that I could feel my face burn. I crossed my arms tightly and sat there on the rock, refusing to move, refusing to speak, and refusing to even look at anyone. The faint sound of playful voices and laughter murmured in my ears.
