Another surprising thing is that gardening, home repairs and sports can all pose risks to the eyes. These are all common household chores and activities. What should we do?

I felt an incredible change after taking part in a volunteer activity. It's such magic. I've met new people and learn valuable knowledge in the past three months. What's more, while helping others, i've also received a lot of appreciation from others, which gives me a sense of fulfillment. Many people want to do volunteer work but fail to take action for various reasons. Most people claim they are too busy to volunteer. I used to think so. However, when I started volunteering, such a barrier naturally disappeared. I could arrange my schedule and baLances volunteer work and other issues quite well. Apart from that, people are also concerned about lacking the skills and experience to match with volunteer work. Actually, there are different kinds of volunteer work, and most of the work does not require special skills at all. What really matters is the time you give some people may also think IT is difficult to find the groups that need help because they have no such connections with them, but the truth is that the right volunteer groups are rather easy to approach.

Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning. Its flat landscape makes cycling exceptionally convenient and requires little physical effort, encouraging people of all ages to choose bicycles for their daily travel. Furthermore, the city has developed a remarkable infrastructure (基础设施) to support this lifestyle. Specialized bicycle paths run alongside most streets in the city center, ensuring a safer and smoother journey for cyclists. Enough bicycle parking spaces add to the overall convenience. As a result of these factors, cycling has become deeply rooted in the local culture — an impressive 38% of all trips are made by bike, earning Amsterdam the nickname “the City of Bicycles.”
The city’s strong cycling culture has historical roots, especially the “white bikes” initiative that emerged in the 1960s. A group of cycling enthusiasts proposed an ambitious idea: banning cars from the city center and promoting bicycles as the primary mode of transport. They believed this would save energy, reduce pollution, and offer free public transport. To realize this vision, they painted hundreds of bicycles white and distributed them across Amsterdam for public use. The concept was simple — anyone could take a bike for a short trip and leave it for the next user at their destination. Unfortunately, this early system faced a major challenge: within weeks, most bicycles were stolen, causing the project to fail.
However, the spirit of the “white bikes” was revived (复苏) in 1999 with a new system. The new-generation shared bicycles, though no longer white but painted in bright colors, were equipped with computer tracking technology. Users needed a special card to unlock a bike from a fixed parking station and were required to return it to another designated station near their destination. This improved model addressed previous issues and proved successful.
Thanks to the persistent efforts and creative ideas of its citizens, Amsterdam now enjoys the benefits of a cycling-friendly environment, including reduced traffic congestion and cleaner air. The evolution of the “white bike” concept demonstrates how innovative thinking can transform urban transport, making cities more livable and sustainable.
24. Why is Amsterdam called “the City of Bicycles”?
A. Because perfect bicycle paths lead to everywhere throughout the city.
B. Because riding is integrated into nature, city planning and local culture.
C. Because cycling for daily travel in the city gains increasing popularity.
D. Because Amsterdam bans driving to work regardless of age and lifestyle.
25. Why did the initial white bike project fail?
A. The bicycles required constant maintenance and became too expensive
B. Most of the bicycles were stolen shortly after the program was launched.
C. The public strongly opposed the idea of riding to work in the city center.
D. It lacked enough funding and government’s support to continue the plan.
26. Which of the following best describes the new system?
A. Advanced and secure.
B. Demanding and fancy.
C. Practical and complex.
D. Flexible and expensive.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Amsterdam—the origin of bikes.
B. Amsterdam—the home of riders.
C. Amsterdam—a city driven by riding.
D. Amsterdam—a city made for cycling.
C
Though suffering a critical blood disorder that caused uncontrollable laughter, Neal recovered magically and transformed his experience into founding Laughter Yoga Australia.
Laughter yoga combines physical exercises like stretching and breathing with laughter-evoking (引起) exercises to boost the immune system. It’s not about telling jokes, but about laughing together to create positive physical and emotional effects.
The study of laughter yoga started in India in 1995, when Dr. Madan and Dr. Madhuri set up a small laughter club. Dr. Madan discovered that the body cannot distinguish between real and fake (假的) laughter, as both produce the same “happy chemistry”. Moreover, he suggested that fake laughter could become real, and when tested, it proved contagious (有感染力) — fake laughter turned real within minutes.
In 2013, Laughter Yoga joined a Deakin University research study led by Professor Bennett, which focuses on long-term kidney dialysis (透析) patients. The team wanted to know if laughter could help during treatment. Dialysis patients often have very low blood pressure, but during the 30-day laughter sessions, their blood pressure increased.
“That’s significant,” says Professor Bennett. “There were 15 fewer emergency cases after the laughter program.” Before the study, 19 alarms went off in the ward (病房) each month, but four weeks later, only four alarms were recorded — and the only difference was laughter.
Laughter is also useful in today’s stressful workplaces. Neal believes stress doesn’t directly cause illness but can lead to it. Experts suggest creating friendly and fun environments where people can relax and laugh together.
So, if you are looking to boost your mood, ease your stress or simply want a bit of fun, why not give Laughter Yoga a go? As Neal says,“Get up in the morning and just smile. And once you’ve smiled, why don’t you just laugh?”
28. Why is Neal’s story mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To praise his bravery against illness.
B. To introduce the topic of laughter yoga.
C. To explain fake laughter’s effects.
D. To prove laughter cures diseases.
29. What makes laughter yoga different from other exercises?
A. It uses jokes to make people laugh.
B. It focuses on physical health only.
C. It requires special equipment and training.
D. It combines laughter with physical exercises.
30. How did Professor Bennett’s team get their findings?
A. By monitoring the dialysis patients’ immune system.
B. By interviewing dialysis patients about their feelings.
C. By comparing the data of emergency cases and ward alarms.
D. By replacing patients’ medical care with laughter during dialysis.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Laughter at Work, Health at Heart
B. When Laughter Meets Science
C. The Origin of Laughter Yoga
D. Laughter Yoga: Joy and Health
D
New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about AI and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.
32. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book?
A. The impact of AI on future employment.
B. The approach to living and working with AI.
C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving.
D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.
33. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain how to do care work.
B. To argue against the automation technology.
C. To prove the significance of human connection.
D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.
34. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The encounter.
B. The shame.

How to stay focused while studying
Focus is like a muscle: it tires if you use it too long. The brain’s front part, responsible for willpower, needs regular breaks to refill its fuel. Study for 50 minutes and then walk away. A five-minute walk, preferably outside, boosts blood flow and clears mental rubbish. ____36____
Your phone is a slot machine(老虎机)in your pocket. Every buzz or flashing pictures causes a happy feeling that breaks the weak chain of concentration. ____37____ If that feels impossible, start with “flight mode+1-hour timer”; after four cycles, reward yourself with a 10-minute scroll. The key is to make distraction harder than studying itself.
Multitasking is a lie. What feels like doing two things at once is actually the brain switching rapidly between tasks, eating extra sugar each time. ____38____ Close every tab that is not the one you are working on; turn the desk so it faces a blank wall. One task, one window, one goal — that is how deep focus is born.
____39____ Write tomorrow’s top three tasks on a sticky note the night before. Then divide the day into “focus blocks” of 90 minutes at most, with 15-minute recovery gaps. During a block, nothing else exists; during recovery, do something fun and totally unrelated. By 5 p.m. you will have spent four high-quality hours, not ten distracted ones.
Finally, train your brain to recognize when it has wandered. The moment you notice yourself rereading the same line, silently say “back” and return to the text. ____40____ After a week, you will catch yourself earlier; after a month, the number of “backs” drops sharply. Soon you will find yourself reading faster and remembering more.
A. Therefore, create a single-task battlefield.
B. This simple action acts like a mental seat-belt.
C. The earlier you start, the longer you can concentrate.
D. When you return, your“focus container” is full again.
E. Put it in another room, or at least inside a closed drawer.
F. Even the brightest students admit that they check phones too often.
G. Willpower disappears gradually as the day goes on, so treat focus like money: plan it.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Forty years has made most memories become unclear, but one 1959 summer afternoon stays vivid — not the heat or my paper route, but a lesson in ____41____ wrapped in seven dollars and a bag of cookies.
Curious about how stones would become when they were ____42____ into the air, my friend Danny and I designed a foolish game: skipping ____43____ stones onto the roof. Then we hid behind thick bushes in Mrs. Henderson’s backyard. My chosen stone felt ____44____ — cool, flat, and weighty. But as I released it, the stone flew wildly off ____45____. The sharp crack of breaking glass from her small kitchen window ____46____ our blood. We fled faster than any stone had flown, hearts beating much faster with the fear of ____47____.
However, for days, when I delivered her paper, her usual gentle smile and quiet “Thank you, dear.” made me feel ____48____. Though she showed no sign of knowing it was me, the sight of the new window glass was ____49____ me. My carefree presence in her yard had become a lie. And ____50____, I made a decision.
I saved three weeks’ route money — seven dollars — to ____51____ the glass. One night, I slipped an envelope with the cash and an apology through her letterbox.
Next day, she handed me a bag of sugar cookies. “____52____ being honest,” she said. Mid-route, I found an envelope inside: my seven dollars, plus a note: “I’m proud of you. Integrity ____53____ more than broken glass.”
Today, when I face mistakes, her words will ____54____ in my ears. Forgiveness isn’t just about being pardoned — it’s about letting others keep their dignity, too. That bag of cookies taught me more than any ____55____ could.
41. A. forgiveness B. pride C. justice D. warning
42. A. posed B. launched C. swept D. extended
43. A. smooth B. rough C. artificial D. sharp
44. A. ripe B. massive C. perfect D. amusing

The success of Black Myth: Wukong is the latest example of how pop culture and technology can ____56____ (breath) new life into traditional culture.
The game is based on the classic Journey to the West, which ____57____ (adapt) countless times into films or television series. ____58____ there have been previous video game versions, Black Myth: Wukong stands apart from those.

Although it may seem very traditional, this collision between old and new has actually created something popular ____63____ relates to all audiences.
It’s a great mistake to assume that the new is better than the old. Traditional culture provides us with a sense of identity and gives us the values we need—hard work, love of family, a sense of right and wrong — ____64____ (live) meaningful lives. Instead of replacing tradition, pop culture and modern technology can enrich this cultural heritage, which allows it to reach a broader audience ____65____ losing its essence.

Leo had always been the quietest boy in Mrs. Anderson’s class. During lively break times, while others were joking and sharing stories, Leo was usually found in his corner, absorbed in a book. It wasn’t that he disliked his classmates; it was the secret he carried like a heavy stone in his chest — he stuttered (口吃). The fear of his words getting unclear, of seeing impatience or mockery (嘲笑) in others’ eyes, built a “wall” around him. To his classmates, he was just the shy, perhaps slightly strange, new boy.
When Mrs. Anderson announced the annual class speech competition that everyone had to take part in, Leo’s heart dropped. The thought of standing in front of the whole class made his hands turn cold. He spent sleepless nights imagining the disaster. He even considered pretending illness to avoid it, but a small, determined part of him wanted to be heard, to connect with others beyond the pages of his books.
The frightening day arrived. One by one, confident students walked to the front, delivering their speeches on various topics with ease. With each name called, Leo’s anxiety grew. When his turn came, the walk to the front felt like a mile. The classroom was quiet, all eyes on him. He held his note cards tightly. As he hesitated, a few uncertain giggles (咯咯地笑) came from the back of the room.
His face turned red. He opened his mouth, but only a weak, silent breath escaped. Fear set in. Just as he was about to apologize and run away, he looked up and met the eyes of Sarah, who sat in the front row. She wasn’t laughing. Instead, she offered a warm, friendly smile and a small, firm nod of encouragement. In that simple, quiet sign, Leo felt a bit of hope.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Leo looked at Sarah again and began to speak.
When Leo finished his speech, the classroom was completely silent for a moment.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。介绍阿姆斯特丹因自然优势、完善骑行设施及深厚骑行文化获得“自行车之城”美誉。历经1960年代白自行车项目失败后,1999年新共享系统成功落地,让城市更宜居可持续。
Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning. Its flat landscape makes cycling exceptionally convenient and requires little physical effort, encouraging people of all ages to choose bicycles for their daily travel. Furthermore, the city has developed a remarkable infrastructure (基础设施) to support this lifestyle. Specialized bicycle paths run alongside most streets in the city center, ensuring a safer and smoother journey for cyclists. Enough bicycle parking spaces add to the overall convenience. As a result of these factors, cycling has become deeply rooted in the local culture — an impressive 38% of all trips are made by bike, earning Amsterdam the nickname “the City of Bicycles.”
The city’s strong cycling culture has historical roots, especially the “white bikes” initiative that emerged in the 1960s. A group of cycling enthusiasts proposed an ambitious idea: banning cars from the city center and promoting bicycles as the primary mode of transport. They believed this would save energy, reduce pollution, and offer free public transport. To realize this vision, they painted hundreds of bicycles white and distributed them across Amsterdam for public use. The concept was simple — anyone could take a bike for a short trip and leave it for the next user at their destination. Unfortunately, this early system faced a major challenge: within weeks, most bicycles were stolen, causing the project to fail.
However, the spirit of the “white bikes” was revived (复苏) in 1999 with a new system. The new-generation shared bicycles, though no longer white but painted in bright colors, were equipped with computer tracking technology. Users needed a special card to unlock a bike from a fixed parking station and were required to return it to another designated station near their destination. This improved model addressed previous issues and proved successful.
Thanks to the persistent efforts and creative ideas of its citizens, Amsterdam now enjoys the benefits of a cycling-friendly environment, including reduced traffic congestion and cleaner air. The evolution of the “white bike” concept demonstrates how innovative thinking can transform urban transport, making cities more livable and sustainable.
24. Why is Amsterdam called “the City of Bicycles”?
A. Because perfect bicycle paths lead to everywhere throughout the city.
B. Because riding is integrated into nature, city planning and local culture.
C. Because cycling for daily travel in the city gains increasing popularity.
D. Because Amsterdam bans driving to work regardless of age and lifestyle.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning. Its flat landscape makes cycling exceptionally convenient and requires little physical effort, encouraging people of all ages to choose bicycles for their daily travel. Furthermore, the city has developed a remarkable infrastructure to support this lifestyle. Specialized bicycle paths run alongside most streets in the city center, ensuring a safer and smoother journey for cyclists. Enough bicycle parking spaces add to the overall convenience. As a result of these factors, cycling has become deeply rooted in the local culture — an impressive 38% of all trips are made by bike, earning Amsterdam the nickname “the City of Bicycles.”(阿姆斯特丹凭借自然优势与精心的城市规划,成为骑行的绝佳之地。其平坦的地形让骑行格外便捷,无需过多体力消耗,吸引着各年龄段人群选择自行车作为日常出行工具。此外,该市还打造了完善的基础设施以支持这种生活方式——市中心多数街道旁都设有专用自行车道,为骑行者提供更安全顺畅的行程,充足的自行车停车位也进一步提升了便利性。得益于这些因素,骑行已深深植根于当地文化之中:令人瞩目的是,38% 的出行都通过自行车完成,这也让阿姆斯特丹赢得了“自行车之城”的美誉)”可知,阿姆斯特丹被称为“自行车之城”是因为骑自行车的行为已经融入了自然环境、城市规划以及当地文化之中。故选B。
25. Why did the initial white bike project fail?
A. The bicycles required constant maintenance and became too expensive
B. Most of the bicycles were stolen shortly after the program was launched.
C. The public strongly opposed the idea of riding to work in the city center.
D. It lacked enough funding and government’s support to continue the plan.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfortunately, this early system faced a major challenge: within weeks, most bicycles were stolen, causing the project to fail.(不幸的是,这个早期的系统遭遇了重大挫折:仅仅几周内,大多数自行车就被偷走了,致使该项目最终失败)”可知,最初的白色自行车项目未能成功是因为该项目启动后不久,大部分自行车就被盗了。故选B。
26. Which of the following best describes the new system?
A. Advanced and secure.
B. Demanding and fancy.
C. Practical and complex.
D. Flexible and expensive.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“The new-generation shared bicycles, though no longer white but painted in bright colors, were equipped with computer tracking technology. Users needed a special card to unlock a bike from a fixed parking station and were required to return it to another designated station near their destination. This improved model addressed previous issues and proved successful.(新一代共享自行车虽然不再是白色,而是涂上了鲜艳的颜色,但它们都配备了电脑追踪技术。用户需要一张专用卡才能从固定的停车点解锁自行车,并且必须将其归还到目的地附近的一个指定停车点。这种改进的模式解决了之前的问题,并取得了成功)”可知,新系统先进且安全。故选A。
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Amsterdam—the origin of bikes.
B. Amsterdam—the home of riders.
C. Amsterdam—a city driven by riding.
D. Amsterdam—a city made for cycling.
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning.(阿姆斯特丹凭借自然优势与精心的城市规划,成为骑行的绝佳之地)”结合文章说明了阿姆斯特丹因自然优势、完善骑行设施及深厚骑行文化获得“自行车之城”美誉。历经1960年代白自行车项目失败后,1999年新共享系统成功落地,让城市更宜居可持续。可知,D选项“阿姆斯特丹——一座专为骑行而建的城市”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文,文章以尼尔战胜疾病后创办澳大利亚大笑瑜伽的故事为切入点,介绍了大笑瑜伽的起源、特点,通过迪肯大学的研究证实其对透析患者的健康益处,还提及它在缓解职场压力中的作用,展现了大笑瑜伽兼具快乐与健康的双重价值。
Though suffering a critical blood disorder that caused uncontrollable laughter, Neal recovered magically and transformed his experience into founding Laughter Yoga Australia.
Laughter yoga combines physical exercises like stretching and breathing with laughter-evoking (引起) exercises to boost the immune system. It’s not about telling jokes, but about laughing together to create positive physical and emotional effects.
The study of laughter yoga started in India in 1995, when Dr. Madan and Dr. Madhuri set up a small laughter club. Dr. Madan discovered that the body cannot distinguish between real and fake (假的) laughter, as both produce the same “happy chemistry”. Moreover, he suggested that fake laughter could become real, and when tested, it proved contagious (有感染力) — fake laughter turned real within minutes.
In 2013, Laughter Yoga joined a Deakin University research study led by Professor Bennett, which focuses on long-term kidney dialysis (透析) patients. The team wanted to know if laughter could help during treatment. Dialysis patients often have very low blood pressure, but during the 30-day laughter sessions, their blood pressure increased.
“That’s significant,” says Professor Bennett. “There were 15 fewer emergency cases after the laughter program.” Before the study, 19 alarms went off in the ward (病房) each month, but four weeks later, only four alarms were recorded — and the only difference was laughter.
Laughter is also useful in today’s stressful workplaces. Neal believes stress doesn’t directly cause illness but can lead to it. Experts suggest creating friendly and fun environments where people can relax and laugh together.
So, if you are looking to boost your mood, ease your stress or simply want a bit of fun, why not give Laughter Yoga a go? As Neal says,“Get up in the morning and just smile. And once you’ve smiled, why don’t you just laugh?”
28. Why is Neal’s story mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To praise his bravery against illness.
B. To introduce the topic of laughter yoga.
C. To explain fake laughter’s effects.
D. To prove laughter cures diseases.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Though suffering a critical blood disorder that caused uncontrollable laughter, Neal recovered magically and transformed his experience into founding Laughter Yoga Australia(尽管尼尔患有严重的血液疾病,导致无法控制地大笑,但他奇迹般地康复了,并将自己的经历转化为创办澳大利亚大笑瑜伽)”以及后文围绕大笑瑜伽的定义、起源、研究成果和应用场景展开可知,尼尔的故事是为了引出“大笑瑜伽”这一核心话题。故选B。
29. What makes laughter yoga different from other exercises?
A. It uses jokes to make people laugh.
B. It focuses on physical health only.
C. It requires special equipment and training.
D. It combines laughter with physical exercises.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Laughter yoga combines physical exercises like stretching and breathing with laughter-evoking exercises to boost the immune system. It’s not about telling jokes, but about laughing together to create positive physical and emotional effects(大笑瑜伽将拉伸、呼吸等肢体运动与引发大笑的练习相结合,以增强免疫系统。它不是讲笑话,而是通过一起大笑来产生积极的身体和情感影响)”可知,大笑瑜伽与其他运动的不同之处在于它将大笑与肢体运动相结合。故选D。
30. How did Professor Bennett’s team get their findings?
A. By monitoring the dialysis patients’ immune system.
B. By interviewing dialysis patients about their feelings.
C. By comparing the data of emergency cases and ward alarms.
D. By replacing patients’ medical care with laughter during dialysis.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“That’s significant,” says Professor Bennett. “There were 15 fewer emergency cases after the laughter program.” Before the study, 19 alarms went off in the ward each month, but four weeks later, only four alarms were recorded — and the only difference was laughter(贝内特教授说:“这很有意义。大笑项目结束后,紧急病例减少了15起。”研究开始前,病房每月会响起19次警报,但四周后,仅记录到4次——唯一的变化就是大笑)”可知,贝内特教授的团队通过对比紧急病例数量和病房警报数据得出了研究结论。故选C。
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Laughter at Work, Health at Heart
B. When Laughter Meets Science
C. The Origin of Laughter Yoga
D. Laughter Yoga: Joy and Health
【答案】D

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社会学家Allison Pugh的新书《最后的人类工作》,该书强调在自动化时代保持人际关系和连接性劳动的重要性,呼吁社会为“社会健康”而战。
New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about AI and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.
32. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book?
A. The impact of AI on future employment.
B. The approach to living and working with AI.
C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving.
D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). (社会学家Allison Pugh的新书《最后的人类工作》聚焦于自动化时代的看护和人际关系,该书警告读者不要毫无保留地接受这些技术进步,称“连接性劳动”是有价值的人类工作,不会轻易被算法取代)”可知,这本新书主要关注的是自动化时代连接性劳动的价值。故选D项。
33. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain how to do care work.
B. To argue against the automation technology.
C. To prove the significance of human connection.
D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. (Pugh通过论证人际关系的价值以及看到和被他人看到的重要性奠定了基础。她说:“从业者说,他们获得了一种目的感,仅仅是因为有机会观察人们最无助的时候。”)”可知,此处先指出Pugh论证了人际关系的价值,以及看到和被他人看到的重要性,然后提到从业者的想法,他们通过看到他人而获得目的感。由此推知,作者提到从业者是为了证明人际关系的重要性。故选C项。
34. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The encounter.
B. The shame.
C. The risk.
D. The potential.
【答案】A
【解析】词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame (当一个人去看医生或老师时,这种相遇充满了羞耻的可能性)”和下文“all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection (当从业者表现出共情反思时,这一切都更加强大)”可推知,正是与他人的相遇有可能会有羞耻感,所以从业者具备的共情反思才会使遭遇变得强大,划线词指代的是前面提到的相遇。故选A项。
35. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The overview of chapter 8.
B. The effective way to interact.
C. The new trend of caregiving.
D. The factors of avoiding shame.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors. (她和其他人进行的研究确定了支持连接性劳动的三个关键方面:“关系设计”,即人们如何与他人互动;“连接性的文化”,或影响人们互动方式的共同实践和信仰;“资源分配”包括互动时间、员工对客户的比率、技术和数据使用的程度等因素)”可知,本段主要介绍了连接性劳动中有效的互动方式。故选B项。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to stay focused while studying
Focus is like a muscle: it tires if you use it too long. The brain’s front part, responsible for willpower, needs regular breaks to refill its fuel. Study for 50 minutes and then walk away. A five-minute walk, preferably outside, boosts blood flow and clears mental rubbish. ____36____
Your phone is a slot machine(老虎机)in your pocket. Every buzz or flashing pictures causes a happy feeling that breaks the weak chain of concentration. ____37____ If that feels impossible, start with “flight mode+1-hour timer”; after four cycles, reward yourself with a 10-minute scroll. The key is to make distraction harder than studying itself.
Multitasking is a lie. What feels like doing two things at once is actually the brain switching rapidly between tasks, eating extra sugar each time. ____38____ Close every tab that is not the one you are working on; turn the desk so it faces a blank wall. One task, one window, one goal — that is how deep focus is born.
____39____ Write tomorrow’s top three tasks on a sticky note the night before. Then divide the day into “focus blocks” of 90 minutes at most, with 15-minute recovery gaps. During a block, nothing else exists; during recovery, do something fun and totally unrelated. By 5 p.m. you will have spent four high-quality hours, not ten distracted ones.
Finally, train your brain to recognize when it has wandered. The moment you notice yourself rereading the same line, silently say “back” and return to the text. ____40____ After a week, you will catch yourself earlier; after a month, the number of “backs” drops sharply. Soon you will find yourself reading faster and remembering more.
A. Therefore, create a single-task battlefield.
B. This simple action acts like a mental seat-belt.
C. The earlier you start, the longer you can concentrate.
D. When you return, your“focus container” is full again.
E. Put it in another room, or at least inside a closed drawer.
F. Even the brightest students admit that they check phones too often.
G. Willpower disappears gradually as the day goes on, so treat focus like money: plan it.

38. 【答案】A
【解析】由上文“Multitasking is a lie. What feels like doing two things at once is actually the brain switching rapidly between tasks, eating extra sugar each time. (多任务处理是个谎言。感觉像是同时做两件事,实际上是大脑在不同任务间快速切换,每次切换都消耗额外的能量。)”以及下文“Close every tab that is not the one you are working on; turn the desk so it faces a blank wall. One task, one window, one goal — that is how deep focus is born. (关闭所有与你正在工作无关的标签页;把桌子转向一面空白的墙。一个任务,一个窗口,一个目标——深度专注就是这样产生的。)”可知,本空要总结上文并引出下文的做法,强调单一任务的重要性,A选项“Therefore, create a single-task battlefield. (因此,创建一个单一任务的战场。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“Therefore”表明选项内容与上文成因果关系,即“多任务处理有弊端,因而应该专注于单一任务”,“single-task battlefield”则形象地引出了下文描述的专注于单一任务的具体操作。故选A。
39. 【答案】G
【解析】由下文“Write tomorrow’s top three tasks on a sticky note the night before. Then divide the day into ‘focus blocks’ of 90 minutes at most, with 15-minute recovery gaps.

(到下午5点,你将已经度过了四个高质量的小时,而不是十个分心的小时。)” 可知,本段主要讲的是提前规划时间和任务,G选项“Willpower disappears gradually as the day goes on, so treat focus like money: plan it. (意志力随着一天的推移逐渐消失,所以像对待金钱一样对待专注力:规划它。)”能概括本段主旨,符合题意,该选项点明了提前规划的原因(意志力会衰减)和核心方法(像规划金钱一样规划专注力)。故选G。
40. 【答案】B
【解析】由上文“The moment you notice yourself rereading the same line, silently say ‘back’ and return to the text.

Soon you will find yourself reading faster and remembering more. (一周后,你会更早地察觉到自己走神;一个月后,‘回去’的次数会急剧下降。很快你会发现自己读得更快,记得更多。)”可知,本空要说明“silently say ‘back’ ”这个简单动作的作用,B选项“This simple action acts like a mental seat-belt. (这个简单的动作就像一条精神安全带。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“This simple action”指代上文的“silently say ‘back’”,并用比喻说明了其保护专注力、防止思维进一步偏离的作用,与下文的训练效果相呼应。故选B。

【答案】 56.breathe 57.has been adapted 58.Although/Though 59.employing 60.emphasis 61.featured 62.a 63.that 64.to live 65.without
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了《黑神话:悟空》如何通过现代科技和流行文化为传统文化注入新活力。
56. 【答案】breathe
【解析】考查动词。句意:《黑神话:悟空》的成功是流行文化和技术如何能为传统文化注入新活力的最新例证。本空用动词breathe,breathe new life into“注入活力”,位于情态动词can后,用动词原形。故填breathe。
57. 【答案】has been adapted
【解析】考查动词语态。句意:这款游戏以经典名著《西游记》为基础,该名著已被无数次改编成电影或电视剧。which引导的定语从句中,adapt“改编”这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,从句时态应用现在完成时,which指代前面的“Journey to the West”,与adapt“改编”之间是被动关系,从句用现在完成时的被动语态,which指代前面的“Journey to the West”,视为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has been adapted。
58. 【答案】Although/Though
【解析】考查让步状语从句。句意:虽然之前已有视频游戏版本,但《黑神话:悟空》与它们不同。前后句意存在转折关系,应用although/though“虽然”引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Although或Though。
59. 【答案】employing
【解析】考查状语从句的省略。句意:在使用尖端技术为玩家带来兴奋的同时,它还通过对现实生活中的寺庙和塔楼的描述强调了传统。employ“使用”。当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时或从句主语为it,且从句含有be动词时,可以省略状语从句的主语和be动词。while引导的时间状语从句中完整形式为while it is _____ (employ) cutting-edge technology,故本空用employing,与空前的is构成现在进行时。故填employing。
60. 【答案】emphasis
【解析】考查名词。句意:在使用尖端技术为玩家带来兴奋的同时,它还通过对现实生活中的寺庙和塔楼的描述强调了传统。本空用名词emphasis,作lays的宾语。lay emphasis on为固定短语,意为“强调”。故填emphasis。
61. 【答案】featured
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:自发布以来,游客们纷纷涌入山西,参观游戏中出现的古迹。本句谓语为have been flooding,此处为非谓语动词,feature意为“以……为特色”,与historical sites之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,用过去分词,作后置定语。故填featured。
62. 【答案】a
【解析】考查冠词。句意:在第二层,无头佛灵吉弹奏一个中国传统乐器三弦,唱着“成败、生死,皆非所愿”。此处泛指“一个中国传统乐器三弦”,且traditional以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
63. 【答案】that
【解析】考查定语从句。句意:尽管它看起来很传统,但新旧之间的这种碰撞实际上创造了一些对所有观众都有吸引力的流行事物。本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是something popular,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,且先行词为不定代词,应用关系代词that引导。故填that。
64. 【答案】to live
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:传统文化为我们提供了一种认同感,给了我们所需要的价值观——努力工作、爱家庭、对与错的意识——让我们过上有意义的生活。live...lives“过……的生活”。本句谓语为provides,此处为非谓语动词,此处用live的不定式,作目的状语。故填to live。
65. 【答案】without
【解析】考查介词。句意:流行文化和现代技术并没有取代传统,而是丰富了这种文化遗产,使其在不失去本质的情况下接触到更广泛的受众。本空用介词without,意为“没有”,符合句意。故填without。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Leo had always been the quietest boy in Mrs. Anderson’s class. During lively break times, while others were joking and sharing stories, Leo was usually found in his corner, absorbed in a book. It wasn’t that he disliked his classmates; it was the secret he carried like a heavy stone in his chest — he stuttered (口吃). The fear of his words getting unclear, of seeing impatience or mockery (嘲笑) in others’ eyes, built a “wall” around him. To his classmates, he was just the shy, perhaps slightly strange, new boy.
When Mrs. Anderson announced the annual class speech competition that everyone had to take part in, Leo’s heart dropped. The thought of standing in front of the whole class made his hands turn cold. He spent sleepless nights imagining the disaster. He even considered pretending illness to avoid it, but a small, determined part of him wanted to be heard, to connect with others beyond the pages of his books.
The frightening day arrived. One by one, confident students walked to the front, delivering their speeches on various topics with ease. With each name called, Leo’s anxiety grew. When his turn came, the walk to the front felt like a mile. The classroom was quiet, all eyes on him. He held his note cards tightly. As he hesitated, a few uncertain giggles (咯咯地笑) came from the back of the room.
His face turned red. He opened his mouth, but only a weak, silent breath escaped. Fear set in. Just as he was about to apologize and run away, he looked up and met the eyes of Sarah, who sat in the front row. She wasn’t laughing. Instead, she offered a warm, friendly smile and a small, firm nod of encouragement. In that simple, quiet sign, Leo felt a bit of hope.

Taking a deep breath, Leo looked at Sarah again and began to speak.

【参考范文】
Taking a deep breath, Leo looked at Sarah again and began to speak. His voice was trembling at first. The first few words were a struggle, each one a battle against the stubborn blockage in his throat. He focused on Sarah’s steady, friendly gaze, using it as an anchor. Slowly, as if pushing through a thick fog, his sentences started to flow more smoothly. He forgot the notes in his hand and simply began to share the story he had prepared about his grandfather — a story he truly loved. The stutter was still there, popping up occasionally, but Leo found the courage to pause, take a breath, and continue.
When Leo finished his speech, the classroom was completely silent for a moment. Then, Sarah started clapping. It wasn’t loud or showy, but firm and sincere. Like a chain reaction, her clap was joined by another, and then another, until the entire room was filled with warm, genuine applause. Mrs. Anderson was smiling proudly. No one laughed at the pauses or the stumbles. In that ocean of acceptance, Leo felt the heavy stone in his chest finally disappeared. He had not just given a speech; he had found his voice.
【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了班里最安静的男孩Leo因患有口吃,害怕说话含混、害怕看到别人不耐烦或嘲笑的眼神,于是在自己周围筑起了一堵“墙”。面对人人都要参加的班级年度演讲比赛,他极度焦虑,甚至想过装病逃避,但内心仍有想被听见、想走出书本与人相连的渴望;轮到他上台时,他紧张到只吐出一口微弱无声的气,后排还传来几声窃笑,就在他准备道歉逃下讲台的一刻,他抬头看见了前排Sarah温暖友善的微笑和坚定鼓励的点头。
【第一段】由首句“Taking a deep breath, Leo looked at Sarah again and began to speak.(利奥深吸一口气,再次看向萨拉,开始演讲。)”可知,第一段可描写Leo开口时声音颤抖、前几个词吐得异常艰难;他把Sarah沉静友善的目光当作“锚”,讲到自己真心热爱的、关于祖父的故事时,句子才渐渐流畅起来;口吃虽仍不时出现,但他学会了停下来、吸一口气,再继续往下讲。
【第二段】由第二段首句“When Leo finished his speech, the classroom was completely silent for a moment.(利奥演讲结束时,教室里出现了片刻的寂静。)”可知,第二段可描写这片刻寂静之后,Sarah率先鼓掌——掌声不响亮也不张扬,却坚定而真诚;像连锁反应一般,一个又一个掌声汇拢,最终整个教室响起热烈真挚的掌声,Mrs. Anderson露出骄傲的微笑;没有人嘲笑他的停顿与结巴,在这一片接纳之中,压在Leo胸口的“重石”终于消失——他不只是完成了一次演讲,更是找到了自己的声音。
【续写线索】深吸一口气开始演讲—声音颤抖、开头几词格外艰难—以Sarah的目光为锚—讲述祖父的故事渐入佳境—口吃仍偶尔出现但学会停顿后继续—演讲结束全场寂静—Sarah率先鼓掌—全班响起真诚掌声—老师骄傲微笑—心中重石落地,找到自己的声音。
【点睛】【高分句型1】Like a chain reaction, her clap was joined by another, and then another, until the entire room was filled with warm, genuine applause.(运用了until引导的时间状语从句,并以chain reaction设喻,写出掌声由一人扩散至全班的感染力。)
【高分句型2】The stutter was still there, popping up occasionally, but Leo found the courage to pause, take a breath, and continue.(运用了现在分词短语popping up作状语,以及pause、take、continue三个动作的并列,写出他直面缺陷、坚持到底的勇气。)
