“Kevin! Kevin! Did you hear what I said?” Ms. Reed, the band director, looked straight at him — she wanted him to take Robin’s place, since Robin had broken her arm, and play a solo at the concert. Kevin agreed, trying hard to hide his sadness: he was terrified of performing on stage, freezing up completely when playing alone, even though he was the best saxophone player in his middle school band and played with the senior high band too.
James, his bandmate, felt sorry for him and shared how he’d fainted on stage during a solo because he was so nervous. The story only made Kevin more worried, but something worse was coming. Kelly, the overly competitive top flutist in the state, stopped him, saying that the Youth Symphony director would come to the concert to listen to his solo — and if he played well, he could get a chance to try out. Her words made him feel heavy inside; he’d wanted to join the Youth Symphony for a long time but never had the courage to audition.
Running out of the school, Kevin thought of excuses to skip the solo: pretending to be ill, saying he’d hurt his finger. But he knew his parents would see he was lying, and hurting his finger on purpose was too dangerous. By the time he got home, his mom was very happy, talking excitedly about the Youth Symphony chance and Ms. Reed’s praise. Kevin lied that his day was okay, then went down to the furnace room — called “Kevin’s Dungeon” — his practice space. He picked up his saxophone, took a deep breath, and started to play.
This time, he didn’t focus on the fear of messing up; he focused on the music he loved. Maybe this solo wasn’t a nightmare — it was a chance to turn his dream into reality.
The final note faded, and loud applause burst out. Kevin smiled and felt a warm rush of joy in his heart. He finally understood that courage isn’t the lack of fear, but going ahead in spite of it. Dreams never come to those who run away from challenges; they always wait for those who dare to face their fears and try.
41. Why did Ms. Reed ask Kevin to play the solo at the concert?
A. Kevin was the most skilled sax player in the senior high band.
B. Robin was unable to perform due to a broken arm.
C. The Youth Symphony director personally recommended Kevin.
D. Kevin had been eager to get the solo opportunity for a long time.
42. The underlined phrase “freezing up” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.
A. staying calm to deal with the performance
B. feeling extremely cold on the frightening stage
C. having great confidence in playing the solo
D. being unable to move or act because of nervousness
43. What made Kevin’s anxiety grow after he received the solo task?
A. James told him about his own embarrassing solo experience.
B. His mother didn’t believe he could perform well on stage.
C. Kelly laughed at him for lacking the courage to audition.
D. He found his practice room was too small to play the saxophone.
44. We can infer from the last paragraph that Kevin finally chose to _________.
A. pretend to be sick and miss the concert instantly
B. gave up his dream of joining the Youth Symphony
C. face the challenge and practice for the solo actively
D. ask the band director to replace him with another student
45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Successful Solo Performance B. The Competitive Flutist Kelly
C. A Strict, Generous and Kind Band Director D. Stage Fright and A New Chance
C
Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.”
The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.”
This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone.
The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
46. What can we know about AV1 in Para.2?
A. Its function. B. Its prospect.
C. Its developing history. D. Its production material.
47. What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean?
A. make up for B. replace C. take part in D. design
48. What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student?
A. It makes the student forget the pain of recovery.
B. It helps the student keep connected with campus life.
C. It lets the student have more time to rest at home.
D. It allows the student to make more new friends.
49. Why is AV1 designed to be human-like?
A. To hold more advanced computer parts.
B. To offer kids support and companionship.
C. To make it tough enough against falls.
D. To attract more attention in the classroom.
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Development of Smart Robots.
B. 5G Network: A Trend in Education.
C. How to Cure Long-term Illnesses.
D. AV1: A Bridge to School Life.
D
Anger is one of the most intense and challenging emotions we experience. It can arise from feelings of injustice, frustration, or perceived threats to our well-being. Whether anger manifests in ourselves or in others, it has the potential to create division, escalate (升级) conflicts, and harm relationships. However, anger does not have to control us. By utilizing compassion — specifically, compassionate reframing — we can transform anger into a deeper understanding and connection.
At its core, anger is a reaction to an appraisal — a mental assessment of a situation that threatens something we value. This appraisal determines the intensity: and quality of our emotional response. However, situations themselves do not contain meaning; we assign meaning to them based on our interpretations. When we react in anger, we often view events through a narrow lens, reinforcing negative emotions and rigid perspectives. Reframing is the process of consciously changing our interpretation of an event to reduce negative emotions. Compassionate reframing takes this one step further by integrating compassion — for both ourselves and others — into the way we interpret situations, helping us move away from hostility and resentment toward a mindset of unity and understanding.
Compassion has the power to neutralize anger by softening our perspective. It allows us to acknowledge suffering — both our own and that of others — without immediate judgment or retaliation. We can shift our reactions from aggressive to constructive. Consider a common scenario: You are at a restaurant, and the server has not attended to your table for quite some time. A typical reaction might be: “This is ridiculous! We’ve been waiting forever. The service here is terrible!” A compassionate reframe might be: “I don’t like how long this is taking, but I know serving tables is difficult. Maybe they’re short-staffed tonight. At least I can enjoy my time with friends.”
Compassionate reframing acknowledges personal discomfort while also extending understanding to the server. It prevents anger from, escalating and creates an opportunity to act with patience and kindness. Rather than reacting defensively or dismissively, we can ask ourselves: What might be causing their anger? How can I respond in a way that acknowledges their emotions without fueling hostility?
Anger is an unavoidable part of life, but it does not have to dominate our reactions or relationships. By practicing compassionate reframing, we gain the ability to step back, assess situations with kindness, and respond in ways that promote peace rather than conflict. Whether in personal interactions, professional settings, or moments of frustration with strangers, compassionate reframing offers a powerful tool for transforming anger into understanding. The choice to reframe our perspective not only benefits our emotional well-being but also fosters a world where compassion leads the way in conflict resolution and human connection.
51. Which statement does the author probably agree with on anger?
A. Anger should always be contained in social settings.
B. Anger’s impact is greater on oneself than on others.
C. Compassionate reframing is effective only in specific contexts.
D. Anger is a natural response that can be positively channeled.
52. Anger often escalate conflicts due to the fact that ______ .
A. people prioritize winning over resolving issues
B. fixed interpretations prevent consideration of others
C. anger in its nature ruins relationships
D. anger is an unavoidable part of life
53. Why is compassionate reframing proposed to conduct according to the passage?
A. To reduce negative emotions through a deeper understanding.
B. To acknowledge suffering without judgment and development and develop sympathy.
C. To rationalize one’s dissatisfaction in challenging situations.
D. To minimize the potential of a conflict by controlling emotions.
54. The restaurant scenario illustrates that compassionate reframing can ______ .
A. encourage beneficial dialogues instead of confrontation
B. decrease the sense of self-awareness during disagreements
C. shift focus from personal frustration to others’ circumstances
D. validate annoyance as a justified response to the issue
55. The writer’s friend Nathan was driving suddenly another driver cut him off, nearly causing an accident. How shouldn’t he respond?
A. He was such an idiot! He could have killed us both!
B. I was scared. But maybe he was rushing to a hospital.
C. Dangerous! Perhaps he’s a green hand and misjudged the distance.
D. I’m grateful I’m safe. Everyone should be careful in the morning rush.

阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。
My five-year-old daughter Heidi ran around the backyard in the summer sunshine, laughing and chasing butterflies. She spotted a large glass jar sitting on the platform, filled with water and tea bags brewing sun tea. Then she went over and sat down on the top of the closed lid. It seemed like a nice little stool, just her size, but the hot jar immediately collapsed into countless pieces of glass. She stood up and displayed a small but deep cut on the back of her leg. Blood poured out of the cut like a tiny red river.
We were off to the emergency room in a matter of minutes, my heart pounding the whole way. After a long, anxious wait, we were led into a small room, and Dr. Anderson came in.
Dr. Anderson was calm and friendly. He told Heidi a silly joke about a chicken crossing the road as he examined her cut, then gently gave her a shot and stitched(缝合) her up. After bandaging her leg, he blew up a rubber surgical glove like a balloon, using a marker to draw a chicken face on it. Heidi laughed and played with her “chicken toy” for days, making it dance around the house.
Thirty years later, at a warm family dinner, we recalled the accident. I remembered the broken glass, blood, and long wait. But Heidi looked surprised. “That’s not what happened,” she said. Her memory was pleasant: a quick crash, a smooth drive to the hospital, and most of all, Dr. Anderson’s kindness and the funny chicken glove.
I thought about this for days. Heidi had filtered out the painful parts and remembered only the good. I realized that letting go of negative memories is a gift. As a child, I had done the same, but as an adult, I had lost that ability. Now I try to live in the moment, enjoy the good, and not drown in the bad. Heidi taught me that there is always something good to focus on, even on the hardest days.
56. What happened to Heidi when she sat on the jar? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What did Dr. Anderson do to comfort Heidi after stitching her up? (no more than 15words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
58. How did Heidi’s memory of the accident differ from her mother’s? (no more than 15words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined phrase “filtered out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? (no more than 1 word)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
60. What lesson can you learn from Heidi? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意:一切准备就绪后我们才开始工作。根据句意,preparations 与谓语make之间是被动关系,谓语动词应该用被动语态;分析句子结构可知,这是一个not...until引导的时间状语从句,主句中用一般将来时won’t ,从句中应该用现在时态的一种形式;结合句意,从句用现在完成时强调“做好准备”这个动作,对现在的影响就是可以“开始工作了”,符合语境及语法结构。综上分析,谓语动词应该用现在完成时的被动语态 have been made。故选C项。

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:自从上个月新课程指南正式发布以来,文学课程的推荐书目清单已经根据指南更新了两次。根据“since they were officially released last month”可知,此处需用现在完成时,强调动作从过去持续到现在并可能继续;且主语The list of recommended books与谓语动词update之间是被动关系,需用现在完成时的被动语态,构成式为have/has been done;又因主语为单数,助动词用has。故选B。
9. He finally submitted his paper, his answers repeatedly, and left the classroom feeling relieved.
A. checking B. checked C. having checked D. to check
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:反复检查了答案,他最终提交了论文,然后如释重负地离开了教室。本句谓语为submitted和left,空格处为非谓语动词,check“检查”这一动作发生在submitted和left之前,且he与check之间为主动关系,所以应该用现在分词的完成式having checked作状语,表示该动作在谓语动词动作之前已经完成。故选C。

【17题详解】
考查连词辨析。句意:我永不言弃,直至取得成功。A. when当……的时候;B. until直到;C. since自从,自……以来;D. once一旦,一……就……。与上文的持之以恒、坚决果断(determination)相呼应,“我”应是一个始终不会放弃,坚持到取得成功的人,故选B。
【18题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我学了所有的舞蹈(曲目),并一直练习直到我几乎不能动为止。A. smile微笑;B. speak讲话;C. think思考;D. move移动。举了这个例子仍然是为了说明自己为了一个目标可以有多努力,因此练习跳舞会练到“动不了”为止,故选D。
【19题详解】
考查连词及副词词义辨析。句意:然而今年一切都变了。A. Otherwise否则,另外;B. So所以;C. But但是;D. Therefore因此。文中第一段讲自己为了目标,努力永不言弃;第二段开始讲述了一个不一样的故事,且本句中changed是一个明确的转折提示,只有but符合题意,故选C。
【20题详解】

【22题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:所以正如我之前成功实现了每个目标一样,我开始着手赢得这份工作。A. land成功获得,赢得(工作);B. quit停止,放弃;C. change改变;D. keep保持。本题考查了land的熟词生义,land的义项有很多,当与工作挂上钩时,指成功得到,赢得,捞到(尤指许多人想得到的工作),牛津词典英文释义为to succeed in getting a job, etc., especially one that a lot of other people want,故选A。
【23题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:我用最工整的书写填完了申请表,认真准备面试,并努力集到了一摞推荐信。A. instruction指引,命令;B. application申请;C. recommendation推荐,建议;D. invitation邀请。在留学、找工作等场景中,经常会需要教授或有声望的人为申请者写推荐信(固定搭配recommendation letter),故选C。

【25题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我被拒之门外了,我感觉自己像个失败者。A. promoted促进,提升;B. punished惩罚;C. selected选中,入选;D. refused拒绝。该句使用了被动语态,“我”被告知只招聘有水上安全经验的人,也就是自己被拒绝了(be refused),故选D。
【26题详解】
考查连词辨析。句意:在学校放假之前的最后一个周末,我的老师问我是否对孩子的暑期夏令营(相关工作)有兴趣。A. how如何,怎样;B. whether是否;C. what什么;D. why为什么。ask后接一个宾语从句,老师问的内容是一个成分完整的句子,要求我回复的只是给予肯定或否定,只有whether符合题意,故选B。
【27题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我确定自己没有什么可失去的了,所以我给(夏令营)的管理人员打了电话,预约安排了面试。A. save拯救,攒钱;B. learn学习;C. lose失去;D. regret遗憾,后悔。结合上下文语境,“我”没有通过水上乐园的面试,现在属于“赋闲”状态,无事情可干,不会因为一场面试就错过了什么,故lose符合题意,选择C。

【30题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:在不到一周的时间内,我已经完全忘记了自己想要在水上乐园工作的想法了。A. doubted怀疑;B. complained抱怨;C. forgotten忘记;D. known知道。结合下文语境,“我”与孩子的相处带给了自己许多乐趣和感想,自己已经忘我地投入这份工作中了,因此之前去水上乐园工作的想法已被忘记,符合题意,故选C。
【31题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我觉得自己是在做一些有意义的事情。A. challenging有挑战性的;B. reasonable合理的,有充足理由的;C. traditional传统的;D. significant有意义的。上句提到“我”安慰想家的小男孩,帮助小女孩去试鞋等等;下文提到自己与孩子的相处让自己的生活充实,收获颇多。故自己做的事是有意义的,选择D。

【33题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意:有时候在生活中我们并没有恰好得到自己所想要的。A. only只,仅仅;B. exactly恰好地,正是;C. properly恰当地,正确地;D. immediately立即,立刻。结合上文的故事,“我”想要水上乐园的工作,但与之失之交臂;后来却失而复得,有了暑期夏令营陪伴孩子的工作,自己收获了意外的惊喜。因而此处说没有恰好(exactly)得到自己想要的(但得到别的),故选B。
【34题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:感到失落是很正常的;我当然也是。A. curious好奇的;B. nervous紧张的;C. disappointed失落的,沮丧的,有挫败感的;D. interested感兴趣的。上一句列举了球队落选,应聘遭拒等不如意的事情,而我们一旦遇到这种事,自然的反应当然是失落,故选C。
【35题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:有时候,当我们没有得到自己想要的东西时,更好的东西正在前方等待着我们。A. better更好地;B. easier更容易的;C. higher更高的;D. crazier更疯狂的。文章以这一点题句作结,结合全文故事,作者丢了一个水上乐园的工作机会,却意外得到了更有收获的夏令营工作机会。因而前方等待我们的东西是更好的(better),故选A。
【点睛】熟词生义是完形填空中经常出现的考查方向,也经常是易错题的“挖坑”方式,值得考生进行特别的关注。本题中,出现了land和purpose这两个看似简单的词汇,第一个常见释义为(v. 着陆;n. 陆地),第二个常见释义为(n. 目的,意图),但本题却考查了另外的含义,在这里进行拓展。
1)( informal ) to succeed in getting a job, etc., especially one that a lot of other people want 成功得到,赢得,捞到(尤指许多人想得到的工作)
He's just landed a starring role in Spielberg's next movie. 他刚得到一个机会,在斯皮尔伯格执导的下一部电影里担任主角。
She's just landed herself a company directorship. 她刚在一家公司谋到一个主管的职位。
2)[ V + adv./prep. ] to arrive somewhere and cause difficulties that have to be dealt with 降临;使陷于(困境);使不得不应付
Why do complaints always land on my desk (= why do I always have to deal with them) ? 为什么投诉总得要我来处理?
以上两个用法虽是熟词生义,但并不是生僻用法,在真正的英语环境中可以地道、自如地使用,本题主要考查了land的第一个用法。下面拓展purpose的释义。
1)[ C, U ] meaning that is important and valuable to you 重要意义;有价值的意义
Volunteer work gives her life (a sense of) purpose . 做志愿工作使她的生活有了意义。
2)[ U ] the ability to plan sth and work successfully to achieve it 意志;毅力;决心
He has enormous confidence and strength of purpose . 他信心十足,意志坚强。
原文句子I felt l was doing something significant. I realized that I had discovered my life's purpose: to work with children.取的是第一个用法。

“Kevin! Kevin! Did you hear what I said?” Ms. Reed, the band director, looked straight at him — she wanted him to take Robin’s place, since Robin had broken her arm, and play a solo at the concert. Kevin agreed, trying hard to hide his sadness: he was terrified of performing on stage, freezing up completely when playing alone, even though he was the best saxophone player in his middle school band and played with the senior high band too.
James, his bandmate, felt sorry for him and shared how he’d fainted on stage during a solo because he was so nervous. The story only made Kevin more worried, but something worse was coming. Kelly, the overly competitive top flutist in the state, stopped him, saying that the Youth Symphony director would come to the concert to listen to his solo — and if he played well, he could get a chance to try out. Her words made him feel heavy inside; he’d wanted to join the Youth Symphony for a long time but never had the courage to audition.
Running out of the school, Kevin thought of excuses to skip the solo: pretending to be ill, saying he’d hurt his finger. But he knew his parents would see he was lying, and hurting his finger on purpose was too dangerous. By the time he got home, his mom was very happy, talking excitedly about the Youth Symphony chance and Ms. Reed’s praise. Kevin lied that his day was okay, then went down to the furnace room — called “Kevin’s Dungeon” — his practice space. He picked up his saxophone, took a deep breath, and started to play.
This time, he didn’t focus on the fear of messing up; he focused on the music he loved. Maybe this solo wasn’t a nightmare — it was a chance to turn his dream into reality.
The final note faded, and loud applause burst out. Kevin smiled and felt a warm rush of joy in his heart. He finally understood that courage isn’t the lack of fear, but going ahead in spite of it. Dreams never come to those who run away from challenges; they always wait for those who dare to face their fears and try.
41. Why did Ms. Reed ask Kevin to play the solo at the concert?
A. Kevin was the most skilled sax player in the senior high band.
B. Robin was unable to perform due to a broken arm.
C. The Youth Symphony director personally recommended Kevin.
D. Kevin had been eager to get the solo opportunity for a long time.
42. The underlined phrase “freezing up” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.
A. staying calm to deal with the performance
B. feeling extremely cold on the frightening stage
C. having great confidence in playing the solo
D. being unable to move or act because of nervousness
43. What made Kevin’s anxiety grow after he received the solo task?
A. James told him about his own embarrassing solo experience.
B. His mother didn’t believe he could perform well on stage.
C. Kelly laughed at him for lacking the courage to audition.
D. He found his practice room was too small to play the saxophone.
44. We can infer from the last paragraph that Kevin finally chose to _________.
A. pretend to be sick and miss the concert instantly
B. gave up his dream of joining the Youth Symphony
C. face the challenge and practice for the solo actively
D. ask the band director to replace him with another student
45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Successful Solo Performance B. The Competitive Flutist Kelly
C. A Strict, Generous and Kind Band Director D. Stage Fright and A New Chance
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. C 45. D

Did you hear what I said?” Ms. Reed, the band director, looked straight at him—she wanted him to take Robin’s place, since Robin had broken her arm, and play a solo at the concert(“凯文!凯文!你听到我说的话了吗?”乐队指挥里德直视着他——她想让他顶替罗宾的位置,因为罗宾摔断了胳膊,在音乐会上独奏)”可知,罗宾因手臂骨折无法演出,所以老师让凯文顶替。故选B项。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“he was terrified of performing on stage, freezing up completely when playing alone(他害怕上台表演,独自演奏时会完全freezing up)”可知,凯文害怕在舞台上表演,独自演奏时会“freezing up”。结合“terrified”可推断“freezing up”意为“因紧张而无法行动”。故选D项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“James, his bandmate, felt sorry for him and shared how he’d fainted on stage during a solo because he was so nervous. The story only made Kevin more worried(他的乐队队友詹姆斯为他感到难过,分享了自己因紧张在独奏时晕倒在舞台上的经历。这个故事只会让凯文更加担心)”可知,詹姆斯分享的独奏晕厥经历让凯文更加焦虑。故选A项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段“This time, he didn’t focus on the fear of messing up; he focused on the music he loved. Maybe this solo wasn’t a nightmare— it was a chance to turn his dream into reality(这一次,他没有专注于对失误的恐惧;他专注于他热爱的音乐。也许这次独奏不是噩梦——而是将梦想变为现实的机会)”和最后一段“The final note faded, and loud applause burst out(最后一个音符落下,爆发出热烈的掌声)”可知,凯文选择放下恐惧,专注练习并成功完成了独奏。 故选C项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段“He finally understood that courage isn’t the lack of fear, but going ahead in spite of it. Dreams never come to those who run away from challenges; they always wait for those who dare to face their fears and try.(他终于明白:勇气不是没有恐惧,而是尽管心怀恐惧,依然选择前行。 逃避挑战的人永远无法实现梦想,梦想,永远在等待那些敢于直面恐惧、勇敢尝试的人。)”可知,文章围绕凯文的舞台恐惧以及青年交响乐团选拔带来的新机会展开,讲述他从逃避到直面挑战的成长过程,因此“Stage Fright and A New Chance(怯场和新的机会)”最能概括全文内容。故选D项。
C
Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.”
The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.”
This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone.
The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
46. What can we know about AV1 in Para.2?
A. Its function. B. Its prospect.
C. Its developing history. D. Its production material.
47. What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean?
A. make up for B. replace C. take part in D. design
48. What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student?
A. It makes the student forget the pain of recovery.
B. It helps the student keep connected with campus life.
C. It lets the student have more time to rest at home.
D. It allows the student to make more new friends.
49. Why is AV1 designed to be human-like?
A. To hold more advanced computer parts.
B. To offer kids support and companionship.
C. To make it tough enough against falls.
D. To attract more attention in the classroom.
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Development of Smart Robots.
B. 5G Network: A Trend in Education.
C. How to Cure Long-term Illnesses.
D. AV1: A Bridge to School Life.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. B 50. D
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍AV1机器人的工作原理、功能优势、设计特点,它能帮助长期养病的孩子远程融入校园生活、减少孤独感。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.(多尔瓦解释了AV1机器人如何工作。她说孩子在家可以用平板或手机启动机器人,再用同一设备操控它的行动,在学校里机器人就成了孩子的眼睛、耳朵和声音。)”可知,第二段主要讲解AV1机器人的工作方式与功用。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy.(学生无论在养病的任何地方都能参与课堂活动。这款机器人配备扬声器、麦克风和摄像头,让沟通变得十分便捷。)”可知,结合上下文语境,生病学生可借助机器人参与课堂活动,由此可推断,partake in的意思为“参加、参与”,和take part in意思一致。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone.(这种顺畅的互动帮助孩子跟上课程进度、自由参与小组讨论、甚至和班上同学分享小快乐。它拉近了休养地与学校之间的距离,让他们与校园生活紧密相连,不会独自被边缘化。)”可知,顺畅互动能帮助养病学生和校园生活保持紧密联系。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.(AV1体型偏大且外形酷似人类是有缘由的。多尔瓦称这一点十分重要,因为这款机器人理应成为孩子们的朋友。)”可知,将AV1设计成人形,是为了给孩子陪伴与精神支持。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是首段中的“Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1.(如今,在医院或家中康复的长期患病儿童,可以拥有一位高科技伙伴来减少孤独感,这位伙伴就是名叫AV1的机器人。)”以及后文依次介绍它的工作原理、功能作用、交互优势和拟人设计用意可知,文章围绕AV1机器人展开,介绍它成为患病孩子衔接校园生活的纽带,所以“AV1: A Bridge to School Life(AV1:通往校园生活的桥梁)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。

Anger is one of the most intense and challenging emotions we experience. It can arise from feelings of injustice, frustration, or perceived threats to our well-being. Whether anger manifests in ourselves or in others, it has the potential to create division, escalate (升级) conflicts, and harm relationships. However, anger does not have to control us. By utilizing compassion — specifically, compassionate reframing — we can transform anger into a deeper understanding and connection.
At its core, anger is a reaction to an appraisal — a mental assessment of a situation that threatens something we value. This appraisal determines the intensity: and quality of our emotional response. However, situations themselves do not contain meaning; we assign meaning to them based on our interpretations. When we react in anger, we often view events through a narrow lens, reinforcing negative emotions and rigid perspectives. Reframing is the process of consciously changing our interpretation of an event to reduce negative emotions. Compassionate reframing takes this one step further by integrating compassion — for both ourselves and others — into the way we interpret situations, helping us move away from hostility and resentment toward a mindset of unity and understanding.
Compassion has the power to neutralize anger by softening our perspective. It allows us to acknowledge suffering — both our own and that of others — without immediate judgment or retaliation. We can shift our reactions from aggressive to constructive. Consider a common scenario: You are at a restaurant, and the server has not attended to your table for quite some time. A typical reaction might be: “This is ridiculous! We’ve been waiting forever. The service here is terrible!” A compassionate reframe might be: “I don’t like how long this is taking, but I know serving tables is difficult. Maybe they’re short-staffed tonight. At least I can enjoy my time with friends.”
Compassionate reframing acknowledges personal discomfort while also extending understanding to the server. It prevents anger from, escalating and creates an opportunity to act with patience and kindness. Rather than reacting defensively or dismissively, we can ask ourselves: What might be causing their anger? How can I respond in a way that acknowledges their emotions without fueling hostility?
Anger is an unavoidable part of life, but it does not have to dominate our reactions or relationships. By practicing compassionate reframing, we gain the ability to step back, assess situations with kindness, and respond in ways that promote peace rather than conflict. Whether in personal interactions, professional settings, or moments of frustration with strangers, compassionate reframing offers a powerful tool for transforming anger into understanding. The choice to reframe our perspective not only benefits our emotional well-being but also fosters a world where compassion leads the way in conflict resolution and human connection.
51. Which statement does the author probably agree with on anger?
A. Anger should always be contained in social settings.
B. Anger’s impact is greater on oneself than on others.
C. Compassionate reframing is effective only in specific contexts.
D. Anger is a natural response that can be positively channeled.
52. Anger often escalate conflicts due to the fact that ______ .
A. people prioritize winning over resolving issues
B. fixed interpretations prevent consideration of others
C. anger in its nature ruins relationships
D. anger is an unavoidable part of life
53. Why is compassionate reframing proposed to conduct according to the passage?
A. To reduce negative emotions through a deeper understanding.
B. To acknowledge suffering without judgment and development and develop sympathy.
C. To rationalize one’s dissatisfaction in challenging situations.
D. To minimize the potential of a conflict by controlling emotions.
54. The restaurant scenario illustrates that compassionate reframing can ______ .
A. encourage beneficial dialogues instead of confrontation
B. decrease the sense of self-awareness during disagreements
C. shift focus from personal frustration to others’ circumstances
D. validate annoyance as a justified response to the issue
55. The writer’s friend Nathan was driving suddenly another driver cut him off, nearly causing an accident. How shouldn’t he respond?
A. He was such an idiot! He could have killed us both!
B. I was scared. But maybe he was rushing to a hospital.
C. Dangerous! Perhaps he’s a green hand and misjudged the distance.
D. I’m grateful I’m safe. Everyone should be careful in the morning rush.
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. C 55. A

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出愤怒是常见情绪且会带来负面影响,但可通过富有同情心的重新构建思维方式,将愤怒转化为理解,促进和平解决冲突。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It can arise from feelings of injustice, frustration, or perceived threats to our well-being.(它可能来自于不公平的感觉、沮丧或对我们幸福的威胁)”和“However, anger does not have to control us. By utilizing compassion — specifically, compassionate reframing — we can transform anger into a deeper understanding and connection.(然而,愤怒不一定非要控制我们。通过运用同情心——具体来说,富有同情心的重新构建思维方式——我们可以将愤怒转化为更深刻的理解和联系)”可知,愤怒是一种自然反应,并且可以被积极地引导。由此可推断,作者可能同意“愤怒是一种可以被积极引导的自然反应”这一观点。故选D项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When we react in anger, we often view events through a narrow lens, reinforcing negative emotions and rigid perspectives.(当我们愤怒地做出反应时,我们常常以狭隘的视角看待事件,强化负面情绪和僵化的观点)”可知,愤怒会强化负面情绪和僵化的观点,让人们以狭隘的视角看待事件,常常会升级冲突,因为这种固定的解读方式使人们无法考虑他人。故选B项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Reframing is the process of consciously changing our interpretation of an event to reduce negative emotions. Compassionate reframing takes this one step further by integrating compassion — for both ourselves and others — into the way we interpret situations, helping us move away from hostility and resentment toward a mindset of unity and understanding.(重新构建思维方式是有意识地改变我们对事件的解读以减少负面情绪的过程。富有同情心的重新构建思维方式更进一步,将对自己和他人的同情心融入到我们解读情况的方式中,帮助我们从敌意和怨恨转向团结和理解的心态)”可知,提出富有同情心的重新构建思维方式是为了将对自己和他人的同情心融入到我们解读情况的方式中,通过更深刻的理解来减少负面情绪。故选A项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Consider a common scenario: You are at a restaurant, and the server has not attended to your table for quite some time. A typical reaction might be: ‘This is ridiculous! We’ve been waiting forever. The service here is terrible!’ A compassionate reframe might be: ‘I don’t like how long this is taking, but I know serving tables is difficult. Maybe they’re short staffed tonight. At least I can enjoy my time with friends.’(考虑一个常见的场景:你在一家餐馆,服务员很久都没有照顾你的桌子。一个典型的反应可能是:‘这太荒谬了!我们等了好久了。这里的服务太差了!’一个富有同情心的重新构建思维方式可能是:‘我不喜欢等这么久,但我知道服务顾客很困难。也许他们今晚人手不足。至少我可以和朋友们享受时光。’)”可知,餐馆场景说明了富有同情心的重新构建思维方式可以将注意力从个人的沮丧转移到他人的处境上。故选C项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Compassionate reframing acknowledges personal discomfort while also extending understanding to the server. It prevents anger from escalating and creates an opportunity to act with patience and kindness.(富有同情心的重新构建思维方式在承认个人不适的同时,也对他人表示理解。它能防止愤怒升级,并创造一个以耐心和善意行事的机会)”可知,富有同情心的重新构建思维方式能将愤怒转化为理解,避免冲突升级。A选项“He was such an idiot! He could have killed us both!(他真是个白痴!他差点害死我们两个!)”表达的是愤怒和指责,没有运用富有同情心的重新构建思维方式,不利于和平解决问题;而B选项“也许他正赶着去医院”、C选项“可能他是个新手,误判了距离”、D选项“我很感激我安全了。每个人在早高峰都应该小心”都体现了理解和包容。所以不应该像A项那样回应。故选A项。

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。
My five-year-old daughter Heidi ran around the backyard in the summer sunshine, laughing and chasing butterflies. She spotted a large glass jar sitting on the platform, filled with water and tea bags brewing sun tea. Then she went over and sat down on the top of the closed lid. It seemed like a nice little stool, just her size, but the hot jar immediately collapsed into countless pieces of glass. She stood up and displayed a small but deep cut on the back of her leg. Blood poured out of the cut like a tiny red river.
We were off to the emergency room in a matter of minutes, my heart pounding the whole way. After a long, anxious wait, we were led into a small room, and Dr. Anderson came in.
Dr. Anderson was calm and friendly. He told Heidi a silly joke about a chicken crossing the road as he examined her cut, then gently gave her a shot and stitched(缝合) her up. After bandaging her leg, he blew up a rubber surgical glove like a balloon, using a marker to draw a chicken face on it. Heidi laughed and played with her “chicken toy” for days, making it dance around the house.
Thirty years later, at a warm family dinner, we recalled the accident. I remembered the broken glass, blood, and long wait. But Heidi looked surprised. “That’s not what happened,” she said. Her memory was pleasant: a quick crash, a smooth drive to the hospital, and most of all, Dr. Anderson’s kindness and the funny chicken glove.
I thought about this for days. Heidi had filtered out the painful parts and remembered only the good. I realized that letting go of negative memories is a gift. As a child, I had done the same, but as an adult, I had lost that ability. Now I try to live in the moment, enjoy the good, and not drown in the bad. Heidi taught me that there is always something good to focus on, even on the hardest days.
56. What happened to Heidi when she sat on the jar? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What did Dr. Anderson do to comfort Heidi after stitching her up? (no more than 15words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
58. How did Heidi’s memory of the accident differ from her mother’s? (no more than 15words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined phrase “filtered out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? (no more than 1 word)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
60. What lesson can you learn from Heidi? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. The jar broke and cut the back of her leg./The jar collapsed into pieces and cut her leg.
57. He blew up a glove and drew a chicken face on it.
58. Heidi remembered the pleasant parts, but her mother remembered the negative parts.
59. Removed./ Dropped. /Eliminated./Forgotten.
60. We need to focus on the good memories so that we can live a relaxing life.
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者的女儿海蒂在童年时因意外割伤腿部,就医时医生用幽默的方式安慰了她,多年后母女对同一事件的记忆截然不同,海蒂记住了美好,而母亲记住了痛苦。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Then she went over and sat down on the top of the closed lid. It seemed like a nice little stool, just her size, but the hot jar immediately collapsed into countless pieces of glass. She stood up and displayed a small but deep cut on the back of her leg.(然后她走过去,坐到合上的盖子顶上。那盖子看着像个小巧合适的凳子,大小刚好适合她,可滚烫的罐子瞬间碎裂成无数玻璃碎片。她站起身,后腿上露出一道不长却很深的伤口。)”可知,海蒂坐在罐子上时,罐子破裂割伤了她的腿。
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“After bandaging her leg, he blew up a rubber surgical glove like a balloon, using a marker to draw a chicken face on it.(在给她的腿包扎好后,他把一个橡胶外科手套吹得像个气球,用记号笔在上面画了一张鸡脸。)”可知,安德森医生在给海蒂缝合伤口后,吹起一个手套并在上面画了一个鸡脸来安慰她。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Her memory was pleasant: a quick crash, a smooth drive to the hospital, and most of all, Dr. Anderson’s kindness and the funny chicken glove.(她的记忆很愉快:快速的碰撞,平稳的驾车去医院,最重要的是,安德森医生的善良和有趣的鸡手套。)”和“I remembered the broken glass, blood, and long wait.(我记得碎玻璃、血和漫长的等待。)”可知,海蒂记得的是愉快的部分,而她的母亲记得的是负面的部分。
【59题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据文章第四段中的“Her memory was pleasant: a quick crash, a smooth drive to the hospital, and most of all, Dr. Anderson’s kindness and the funny chicken glove.(她的记忆是愉快的:罐子快速碎裂,开车顺利到达医院,最重要的是安德森医生的善良和有趣的小鸡手套。)”及第五段中的“Heidi had filtered out the painful parts and remembered only the good.(海蒂filtered out了痛苦的部分,只记住了美好的部分。)”可知,海蒂从记忆中“去除、排除、过滤掉”了痛苦的部分。
【60题详解】
开放性问题。结合文章内容,答案合理即可。例如:根据文章最后一段中的“Heidi taught me that there is always something good to focus on, even on the hardest days.(海蒂告诉我,即使在最艰难的日子里,也总有值得关注的美好。)”并结合全文内容可得出启示:我们应该学会关注积极的事物,过滤掉负面记忆,从而拥有更轻松的生活态度。
