Two words can sum up the life of Dr. Catana Starks—determination and achievement. Now the story of one of her many accomplishments—she’s the first African-American woman in history to coach a male college sports team—is a movie!
The story is about Starks, who was the golf coach at her alma mater(母校) Tennessee State University, a traditionally Black College in Nashville. Starks’ distinctive coaching style and her achievements in the face of many challenges in her position and in life is what will leave audiences inspired. She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice. Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life—her mother.
A native of Mobile, Alabama, Starks was diagnosed with severe asthma(哮喘). Doctors told her mother she could never participate in sports. “My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances”, says Starks, “so I grew up with a basketball goal in the backyard.” Asthma wasn’t the only challenge; she grew up in the segregated(被隔离的) South of the 1940s, “I learned to swim. I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool”.
After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Initially that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks. She had to innovate by recruiting internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have distinguished themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three consecutive Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another distinction for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!
4. Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career?
A. Being the team bus driver.
B. Doing the laundry for her players.
C. Walking to the Black swimming pool.
D. Finding venues for team practice.
5. What did Starks learn from her mother?
A. An optimistic attitude towards life.
B. A strong will to overcome tough situations.
C. A willingness to push the limits of her body.
D. Her distinctive coaching style.
6. Starks had a rough start as a golf coach because of _________.
A. racial discrimination B. her gender
C. her physical condition D. her lack of experience
7. The achievements of Starks’ players are mentioned to illustrate _________.
A. like teacher like student B. education is the key to success
C. practice makes perfect D. equality is greater than division
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇人物传记类文章。文章介绍了一位女性高尔夫球手卡塔娜斯塔克斯的成为第一个执教男大学生运动队的非裔美国女性的传奇一生。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段倒数第二句“She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice.( 她得开球队的大巴,洗球员的高尔夫球服,还得经常为球队找地方练习。)”可知,斯塔克斯在职位和生活中的诸多挑战包括她要开队车,洗队员的高尔夫衣服,还要不断地为球队找地方练习,这些不包括选择项C“走到Black泳池”。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段可知,她的母亲在她不能参加体育运动的情况下还坚定地让她不受环境影响不断运动,结合文章第二段最后“Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life—her mother.(斯塔克把她的力量归功于她生命中的一个女人——她的母亲。)”可知,她把在诸多挑战中获得成就归功于她的母亲给她的力量,再结合文章整体斯塔克斯取得成功的原因,所以从她的母亲她学会了要有克服困难的坚强意志,故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段“After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Initially that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks.(在得到男子高尔夫教练的工作后,斯塔克斯找不到高尔夫球手。学校里的男生都不打。Starks说:“一开始我没有成功,因为我是女性。”)”可知,在得到男子高尔夫教练的工作后,斯塔克斯一开始并没有成功,因为她是女性,故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have distinguished themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three consecutive Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another distinction for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!( 在她执教的近20年里,她的前球员在世界各地都表现出色,包括:萨姆·普伊尔,前密歇根州立大学高尔夫教练——该校历史上第一位非洲裔美国人;罗伯特·丁威迪,德州大学的全美国高尔夫球手,目前是欧洲巡回赛的成员,在南非连续三次进入前十。斯塔克斯的决心真正得到了回报,当t州老虎队在2005年赢得全国少数民族高尔夫锦标赛。她的职业生涯的另一个特点是,90%的球员都毕业了!)”可知,这里回报指的是她的学员表现良好,有这样有决心的老师就有有决心出色的学生。故选A。
C
Smart glasses are quickly becoming part of our daily lives. They allow users to record everyday moments and even provide real-time translation. However, the same features — cameras and recording — are being misused. Cases of secret filming (偷拍) have been reported on airplanes, in subways, and in shopping malls. Some videos are then posted on social media without the subjects’ permission. In some countries, smart glasses have earned a negative nickname, and some restaurants, bars, and theaters have banned them.
One major cause of the problem lies in the hardware design. Most smart glasses do not come with a mandatory (强制性的) recording reminder. Even when a recording indicator (指示) light is present, cheap stickers sold online can easily cover it. Worse still, some manufacturers have chosen to remove the indicator light entirely to make the glasses more discreet. When a simple sticker can block the only warning sign, privacy protection becomes meaningless. Currently, there are no unified rules for indicator lights, warning sounds, or anti-secrecy filming designs.
On the positive side, regulators and the industry have begun to respond. In June 2026, a self-regulation agreement for AI glasses was officially released, signed by multiple companies. The agreement aims to build clear rules between privacy protection and data use, calling on the industry to protect data security and privacy. Some companies have also introduced tamper-proof (防篡改的) systems: if the system detects that the indicator light has been deliberately damaged, the camera will automatically shut down. These efforts are commendable, but they are only the beginning.
To make smart glasses truly trustworthy, more efforts are needed. First, tamper-proof indicator lights should become a standard feature. Second, regulators should introduce unified industry standards. Third, online platforms should set up systems to identify and quickly remove secretly filmed content. Finally, the public should be made aware that secretly filming others is illegal and may lead to punishment or even criminal charges.
Technology can always be improved, but privacy protection must not be lowered. As smart glasses become “cameras on the go”, we must not allow people to become unknowing subjects in others’ content. Making indicator lights more reliable and stopping secret filming are necessary steps for wearable smart devices to enter the mass market.
8. What is the main cause of the privacy problems caused by smart glasses?
A. They are too cheap and easily available.
B. Their cameras are too small to be noticed.
C. Their hardware lacks proper warning features.
D. Users are not taught how to use them correctly.
9. What does the underlined word “discreet” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. not easily noticed. B. highly fashionable.
C. extremely expensive. D. very user-friendly.
10. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT suggested as a solution?
A. Making tamper-proof indicator lights a requirement.
B. Setting up systems to remove secretly filmed content.
C. Encouraging manufacturers to make glasses more discreet.
D. Educating the public about the legal consequences.
11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward smart glasses?
A. Strongly opposed. B. Highly supportive.
C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Completely indifferent.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍智能眼镜带来偷拍隐私隐患,分析成因并给出多方解决办法,呼吁重视隐私保护。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One major cause of the problem lies in the hardware design. Most smart glasses do not come with a mandatory (强制性的) recording reminder.(该问题的一个主要原因在于硬件设计。大多数智能眼镜没有配备强制性的录制提醒装置)”可知,智能眼镜引发隐私问题的主要原因是硬件缺少合适的警示功能。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Worse still, some manufacturers have chosen to remove the indicator light entirely to make the glasses more discreet. When a simple sticker can block the only warning sign, privacy protection becomes meaningless.(更糟糕的是,一些厂商选择完全去掉指示灯,让眼镜更加discreet。一张简单的贴纸就能遮住唯一的警示标识时,隐私保护就失去了意义)”可知,厂商去掉指示灯是为了让眼镜不容易被察觉,因此画线单词“discreet”表示“不容易被注意到”符合语境。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“First, tamper-proof indicator lights should become a standard feature. Second, regulators should introduce unified industry standards. Third, online platforms should set up systems to identify and quickly remove secretly filmed content. Finally, the public should be made aware that secretly filming others is illegal and may lead to punishment or even criminal charges.(第一,防篡改指示灯应成为标准配置。第二,监管机构应出台统一行业标准。第三,网络平台应建立系统识别并快速删除偷拍内容。最后,应当让公众知晓偷拍他人属于违法行为,可能受到处罚甚至刑事指控)”可知,文中没有建议鼓励厂商把眼镜做得更隐蔽。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中的“These efforts are commendable, but they are only the beginning.(这些努力值得肯定,但仅仅只是开始)”以及尾段中的“Technology can always be improved, but privacy protection must not be lowered.(技术总可以改进,但隐私保护标准绝不能降低)”可知,作者认可相关整改尝试,同时认为仍有很多工作要做,态度是谨慎乐观的。
D
Recently, Gen Z fired up the Internet with a new trend called “bed rotting”. So, what exactly is “bed rotting”? Well, if you’ve ever spent an entire weekend under your blanket, watching short videos endlessly, avoiding texts, and ignoring every responsibility in your life, then you’ve already experienced “bed rotting”.
According to the Sleep Foundation, “bed rotting” is a buzzword that describes “a self - care trend that involves staying in bed for a full day or even an entire weekend”. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine further reports that 24% of Gen Zers engage in the trend, while 27% say they stay in bed for over half an hour after waking — just to avoid starting the day.
Though “bed rotting” allows people to pause, breathe, and escape from the endless demands of modern life, experts warn that “bed rotting” could be quietly destroying your health in all aspects. According to Dr. Sudhir Kumar, the trend can disrupt critical brain chemicals that lower serotonin (血清素) levels, which are linked to mood and happiness. “Neurologically, ‘bed rotting’ can be seen as a kind of behavioural shutdown,” Dr. Kumar explained. “It’s a sign that the brain’s usual motivation and reward systems are slowing down — something we also see in depression.” He also added that “bed rotting” can condition the brain to associate your bed with wakefulness rather than sleep, which can lead to insomnia (失眠) or even long-term sleep disorders. That’s not all. When you spend long time in bed, you’re not engaging in social interaction, movement, or sunlight exposure — all things that are vital for good mental and physical health. Long-term inactivity can lead to some decrease in muscle strength and resilience. Still, Gen Z’s embrace of “bed rotting” isn’t about being lazy — it’s about seeking refuge in a world that feels exhausting. So, next time you find yourself sinking deeper into your blanket, ask yourself: “Am I recharging or just rotting?”
12. What impact does “bed rotting” have on people?
A. It accelerates muscle loss for lack of activity.
B. It harms neurological health and physical strength.
C. It reinforces the mental link between bed and sleep.
D. It contributes to more brain chemicals affecting mood.
13. Why are people involved in “bed rotting”?
A. To respond to medical advice on mental health.
B. To prove benefits in enhancing cognitive function.
C. To find a momentary shelter from real life pressures.
D. To apply a fashionable way to improve sleeping quality.
14. What might the author tell in the following paragraph?
A. The price this trend will pay.
B. Tips on how to avoid “bed rotting”.
C. Stories about people who enjoy “bed rotting”.
D. Other generations’ thoughts about “bed rotting”.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Gen Z’s “Bed Rotting” Trend
B. Young People’s New Way to Relax
C. How to Stop the “Bed Rotting” Habit
D. The Bad Results of Staying in Bed Too Long
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了Gen Z掀起的“卧床摆烂”潮流,虽能让人暂时逃离生活压力,但专家警告会损害健康,如影响神经、导致失眠等,人们需思考是在充电还是摆烂。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“According to Dr. Sudhir Kumar, the trend can disrupt critical brain chemicals that lower serotonin(血清素)levels, which are linked to mood and happiness. ‘Neurologically, ‘bed rotting’ can be seen as a kind of behavioural shutdown,’ Dr. Kumar explained. ‘It’s a sign that the brain’s usual motivation and reward systems are slowing down — something we also see in depression.’ He also added that ‘bed rotting’ can condition the brain to associate your bed with wakefulness rather than sleep, which can lead to insomnia(失眠)or even long-term sleep disorders. That’s not all. When you spend long time in bed, you’re not engaging in social interaction, movement, or sunlight exposure — all things that are vital for good mental and physical health. Long-term inactivity can lead to some decrease in muscle strength and resilience. (根据Sudhir Kumar博士的说法,这种趋势会破坏降低血清素水平的关键大脑化学物质,血清素与情绪和幸福感有关。库马尔博士解释说:“从神经学角度来看,‘卧床摆烂’可以被视为一种行为关闭。”“这表明大脑通常的动力和奖励系统正在减缓——我们在抑郁症中也能看到这种情况。”他还补充说,“摆烂”会让大脑将床与清醒联系起来,而不是睡眠,这会导致失眠甚至长期睡眠障碍。这还不是全部。当你长时间躺在床上时,你没有参与社交互动、运动或接触阳光——这些都是对身心健康至关重要的因素。长期不活动会导致肌肉力量和恢复能力下降。)”可知,“卧床摆烂”对神经健康和体力都有害。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Still, Gen Z’s embrace of ‘bed rotting’ isn’t about being lazy — it’s about seeking refuge in a world that feels exhausting. (尽管如此,Z世代接受“卧床摆烂”并不是因为懒惰,而是为了在这个让人筋疲力尽的世界中寻求庇护。)”可知,人们参与“卧床摆烂”是为了从现实生活的压力中寻找暂时的避难所。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“So, next time you find yourself sinking deeper into your blanket, ask yourself: ‘Am I recharging or just rotting?’ (所以,下次当你发现自己越来越深地陷入毯子时,问问自己:“我是在充电还是在腐烂?”)”可知,作者接下来可能会给出一些如何避免“卧床摆烂 ”的建议。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“Recently, Gen Z fired up the Internet with a new trend called ‘bed rotting’. So, what exactly is ‘bed rotting’? (最近,Z世代以一种名为“卧床摆烂”的新趋势点燃了互联网。那么,“卧床摆烂”究竟是什么呢?)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了Z世代兴起的一种名为“卧床摆烂”的新趋势,包括其定义、影响以及人们参与其中的原因等。所以,A项“Gen Z’s ‘Bed Rotting’ Trend (Z世代的“卧床摆烂”趋势)”最符合文章主旨。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍珍・古道尔的生平、科研成就以及她对动物保护产生的深远影响。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:她在20世纪60年代通过在东非对野生黑猩猩的开创性研究而声名鹊起,这一研究彻底改变了我们对黑猩猩以及人类自身的认知。根据空后changed可知,空处需用副词completely修饰动词作状语。故填completely。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意同上。结合句意和空前“our understanding”可知,此处需用反身代词ourselves指代“我们人类自身”。故填ourselves。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她还观察到它们吃肉,并从事复杂的社会行为。observe sb. doing sth.“观察某人正在做某事”,空处与engaging并列,需用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填eating。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:这些发现被认为是重大的科学成就。形容词major后需接名词,achieve的名词为achievement“成就”,作as的宾语;由空前These discoveries were可知,空处需用该名词复数形式。故填achievements。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:在不出远门演讲时,她主要住在英国儿时的家里。此处是while引导的时间状语从句的省略,当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致且含有be动词时,可以省略从句的主语以及be动词。本句话完整的结构为“While she was not traveling/travelling widely for lectures, she lived mainly in her childhood home in England.”,所以省略从句的主语she和was,剩下现在分词的形式。故填traveling/travelling。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:她的死讯得到了简·古道尔研究所的证实,该研究所总部位于华盛顿特区。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Jane Goodall Institute,指物,关系词在定语从句中作定语,所以空处需用关系代词whose引导定语从句。故填whose。

考查动词时态。句意:通过她一生的工作,古道尔强调了人类与动物王国之间的深刻联系。此处需要使用动词作谓语,表示“强调”。根据语境可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,应使用一般过去时。故填highlighted。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。between ... and ...“在……和……之间”,固定搭配。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她证明了一个人的奉献可以产生重大影响。make a difference“有影响,起作用”,固定搭配,significant首字母的发音为辅音音素,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们都应该记住她充满希望的信息,尽我们的一份力量来保护自然。do one’s part to do sth.“尽某人的一份力量做某事”,动词不定式作目的状语。故填to protect。

Last Friday, our class held a heated discussion about AI-powered creation tools such as Doubao and Kimi. Opinions are divided.
Some students think these tools are helpful. They can quickly collect information and polish articles, saving us much time. However, others argue that over-reliance on AI will weaken our independent thinking and writing ability. We may even copy AI answers directly, which is dishonest.

Two words can sum up the life of Dr. Catana Starks—determination and achievement. Now the story of one of her many accomplishments—she’s the first African-American woman in history to coach a male college sports team—is a movie!
The story is about Starks, who was the golf coach at her alma mater(母校) Tennessee State University, a traditionally Black College in Nashville. Starks’ distinctive coaching style and her achievements in the face of many challenges in her position and in life is what will leave audiences inspired. She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice. Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life—her mother.
A native of Mobile, Alabama, Starks was diagnosed with severe asthma(哮喘). Doctors told her mother she could never participate in sports. “My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances”, says Starks, “so I grew up with a basketball goal in the backyard.” Asthma wasn’t the only challenge; she grew up in the segregated(被隔离的) South of the 1940s, “I learned to swim. I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool”.
After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Initially that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks. She had to innovate by recruiting internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have distinguished themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three consecutive Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another distinction for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!
4. Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career?
A. Being the team bus driver.
B. Doing the laundry for her players.
C. Walking to the Black swimming pool.
D. Finding venues for team practice.
5. What did Starks learn from her mother?
A. An optimistic attitude towards life.
B. A strong will to overcome tough situations.
C. A willingness to push the limits of her body.
D. Her distinctive coaching style.
6. Starks had a rough start as a golf coach because of _________.
A. racial discrimination B. her gender
C. her physical condition D. her lack of experience
7. The achievements of Starks’ players are mentioned to illustrate _________.
A. like teacher like student B. education is the key to success
C. practice makes perfect D. equality is greater than division
C
Smart glasses are quickly becoming part of our daily lives. They allow users to record everyday moments and even provide real-time translation. However, the same features — cameras and recording — are being misused. Cases of secret filming (偷拍) have been reported on airplanes, in subways, and in shopping malls. Some videos are then posted on social media without the subjects’ permission. In some countries, smart glasses have earned a negative nickname, and some restaurants, bars, and theaters have banned them.
One major cause of the problem lies in the hardware design. Most smart glasses do not come with a mandatory (强制性的) recording reminder. Even when a recording indicator (指示) light is present, cheap stickers sold online can easily cover it. Worse still, some manufacturers have chosen to remove the indicator light entirely to make the glasses more discreet. When a simple sticker can block the only warning sign, privacy protection becomes meaningless. Currently, there are no unified rules for indicator lights, warning sounds, or anti-secrecy filming designs.
On the positive side, regulators and the industry have begun to respond. In June 2026, a self-regulation agreement for AI glasses was officially released, signed by multiple companies. The agreement aims to build clear rules between privacy protection and data use, calling on the industry to protect data security and privacy. Some companies have also introduced tamper-proof (防篡改的) systems: if the system detects that the indicator light has been deliberately damaged, the camera will automatically shut down. These efforts are commendable, but they are only the beginning.
To make smart glasses truly trustworthy, more efforts are needed. First, tamper-proof indicator lights should become a standard feature. Second, regulators should introduce unified industry standards. Third, online platforms should set up systems to identify and quickly remove secretly filmed content. Finally, the public should be made aware that secretly filming others is illegal and may lead to punishment or even criminal charges.
Technology can always be improved, but privacy protection must not be lowered. As smart glasses become “cameras on the go”, we must not allow people to become unknowing subjects in others’ content. Making indicator lights more reliable and stopping secret filming are necessary steps for wearable smart devices to enter the mass market.
8. What is the main cause of the privacy problems caused by smart glasses?
A. They are too cheap and easily available.
B. Their cameras are too small to be noticed.
C. Their hardware lacks proper warning features.
D. Users are not taught how to use them correctly.
9. What does the underlined word “discreet” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. not easily noticed. B. highly fashionable.
C. extremely expensive. D. very user-friendly.
10. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT suggested as a solution?
A. Making tamper-proof indicator lights a requirement.
B. Setting up systems to remove secretly filmed content.
C. Encouraging manufacturers to make glasses more discreet.
D. Educating the public about the legal consequences.
11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward smart glasses?
A. Strongly opposed. B. Highly supportive.
C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Completely indifferent.
D
Recently, Gen Z fired up the Internet with a new trend called “bed rotting”. So, what exactly is “bed rotting”? Well, if you’ve ever spent an entire weekend under your blanket, watching short videos endlessly, avoiding texts, and ignoring every responsibility in your life, then you’ve already experienced “bed rotting”.
According to the Sleep Foundation, “bed rotting” is a buzzword that describes “a self - care trend that involves staying in bed for a full day or even an entire weekend”. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine further reports that 24% of Gen Zers engage in the trend, while 27% say they stay in bed for over half an hour after waking — just to avoid starting the day.
Though “bed rotting” allows people to pause, breathe, and escape from the endless demands of modern life, experts warn that “bed rotting” could be quietly destroying your health in all aspects. According to Dr. Sudhir Kumar, the trend can disrupt critical brain chemicals that lower serotonin (血清素) levels, which are linked to mood and happiness. “Neurologically, ‘bed rotting’ can be seen as a kind of behavioural shutdown,” Dr. Kumar explained. “It’s a sign that the brain’s usual motivation and reward systems are slowing down — something we also see in depression.” He also added that “bed rotting” can condition the brain to associate your bed with wakefulness rather than sleep, which can lead to insomnia (失眠) or even long-term sleep disorders. That’s not all. When you spend long time in bed, you’re not engaging in social interaction, movement, or sunlight exposure — all things that are vital for good mental and physical health. Long-term inactivity can lead to some decrease in muscle strength and resilience. Still, Gen Z’s embrace of “bed rotting” isn’t about being lazy — it’s about seeking refuge in a world that feels exhausting. So, next time you find yourself sinking deeper into your blanket, ask yourself: “Am I recharging or just rotting?”
12. What impact does “bed rotting” have on people?
A. It accelerates muscle loss for lack of activity.
B. It harms neurological health and physical strength.
C. It reinforces the mental link between bed and sleep.
D. It contributes to more brain chemicals affecting mood.
13. Why are people involved in “bed rotting”?
A. To respond to medical advice on mental health.
B. To prove benefits in enhancing cognitive function.
C. To find a momentary shelter from real life pressures.
D. To apply a fashionable way to improve sleeping quality.
14. What might the author tell in the following paragraph?
A. The price this trend will pay.
B. Tips on how to avoid “bed rotting”.
C. Stories about people who enjoy “bed rotting”.
D. Other generations’ thoughts about “bed rotting”.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Gen Z’s “Bed Rotting” Trend
B. Young People’s New Way to Relax
C. How to Stop the “Bed Rotting” Habit
D. The Bad Results of Staying in Bed Too Long
