(二)阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选 择最佳选项。 B When I was a child,I often got into fights at school and my grades dropped sharply,so my mother made me come to her workplace after school-the space centre,where she worked in the cafeteria. One day,an astronaut named Richard saw me struggling with Maths homework.He sat down and helped me.From then on,he and other astronauts often stopped by to help me with my studies. 英语试卷第3页（共C页） For my 15th birthday,I got a private tour of Mission Control.Standing in that room,filled with screens and maps,I felt a strange excitement.It was amazing! On June 2nd,a spaceship was launched for the Moon.I watched behind the glass of the VIP room. Everything seemed to be going well.Then,suddenly,we heard a loud bang.A few seconds later, Richard's voice came over the radio,"Mission Control,we've had a problem."An oxygen tank had exploded,and the situation was very dangerous. The astronauts,Richard,Fred,and Jack,moved into the lunar module to survive.Back on Earth,Mission Control worked day and night to bring them home safely.I stayed close to the radio at home,listening to every update.The whole world was watching and hoping. I was so upset that I shared what I saw at the centre with my classmates.Terry,who used to fight with me,didn't believe what I said.He even laughed at me,"Ramon,are you joking?Those buildings are fake!Don't you know?"Angrily,I shouted at him,"Go to the centre with me,or you'll regret." Then,Terry followed me to the space centre.He saw the control room,heard the tense voices, and finally understood it was all real.Both of us worried about the safety of the spaceship.Staring at the screens for a long time,we stood still. Finally,on June 8th,the command module was brought down into the Pacific Ocean.The three astronauts were safe.Influenced by the spirit of science,bravery,and hard work,Terry and I stopped fighting and became good friends. As for me,I studied harder than ever and became a pilot later.My friend Terry became a flight surgeon.We often joke about how we used to fight.But what I truly learnt is that kindness,teamwork, and courage can turn even the biggest disaster into a complete victory. 21.The writer went to the space centre in the beginning because ..he wanted to see spaceship B.his mother asked him to do so 'an astronaut invited him D.Richard would help with his study 22.From the underlined sentence,we learn that the public were waiting for A.the safe return B.the true friendship C.the private tour D.the special training 23.What does the article want to tell the readers? Science changes life. B.Action improves possibilities. C Habits lead to success. D.Children's experiences shape future. C Short videos have become increasingly popular in recent years.These videos are typically short in length,lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes,and offer a quick supply of entertainment or information.While these videos may seem harmless,there are worries about the effect they can have on the human brain and attention span(特续时间). Dopamine is a neurotransmitter(神经递质)that is connected with the reward center of the brain. When we experience something pleasurable or rewarding,such as eating a delicious meal or receiving praise,our brains release()dopamine.This release of dopamine strengthens the behavior that 英语试卷第4页（共8页） led to the reward,making us more likely to do that behavior again. Short videos can also make our brains release dopamine.The quick and easy-to-understand nature of these videos provides an immediate satisfaction that can be addictive )Each time we watch a video and experience the pleasure of entertainment or information,our brains release dopamine,strengthening the behavior of watching more videos. Over time,this continuous release of dopamine can lead to a decrease in dopamine receptors in the brain.This means that it takes more and more dopamine to create the same pleasurable sensation, making it even more difficult to stop watching short videos. Studies have shown that too much use of social media can lead to a decrease in attention span, and short videos may be even more harmful.The never-ending excitement provided by these videos can make it difficult for people to focus on tasks that require lasting attention.This can lead to a decrease in productivity and a reduced interest in activities that don't offer immediate rewards Additionally,these videos can have a bad influence on mental health.Watching an endless stream of short videos can lead to feelings of anxiety and stress.You might also start to feel bad about yourself because you think you're not as good as the people in the videos. Not all short videos are harmful,and they can be a valuable tool for entertainment and education. However,it is important to be mindful of how long you watch these videos and focus on activities that require full attention and provide long-term rewards. 24.What do you know about dopamine from the passage? A.Dopamine makes people more attentive. B.Dopamine keeps us from repeating things we like. 2.Dopamine influences emotions instead of behaviors. D.Dopamine is released as a result of pleasurable experiences. 25.What causes people to increase their behaviors of watching short videos? A.The strong wish to learn new things. B.The convenience of getting short videos C.The necessity of having social communication. D.The need to keep the same level of satisfaction. 26.What is the writer's main,aurpose in writing this passage? A.To introduce how dopamme works in our brains. B.To encourage people to improve their attention span. C.To remind people to limit their time of watching short videos. D.To explain why short videos have become increasingly popular. D As you write your resolutions for 2027,think about adding one to experience more flow. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has called flow as"the secret to happiness."Flow is a state of positive experience that each of us can include into our everyday lives,one featured by great joy that 英语试卷第5页（共8页） makes a life worth living. When people feel flow,they are in a state of deep focus.Their thoughts are focused on an experience rather than on themselves.They lose a sense of time and feel as if their actions and awareness become one.Flow happens when both the task's challenge and skill level are high.People will not feel flow when they are doing the dishes.Csikszentmihalyi's research in the 1970s focused on people doing tasks they enjoyed.He studied swimmers,music composers,dancers,mountain climbers and other sportsmen.He found out that so long as that task's challenge is high,and so are your skills,you should be able to achieve flow. Why is flow "the secret to happiness"?For one thing,the experience can help people follow their long-term goals.Research shows that taking a break to feel flow can improve one's self-control,goal achievement and well-being.A recent study also shows that flow helps people stay resilient in the face of difficulty.Part of this is because flow can help refocus thoughts away from something stressful to something enjoyable.In fact,studies have shown that experiencing flow can help guard against feeling down and burnout. What is going on in the brain during flow?Studies show that the experience is associated with(...)increased activity in brain structures related to feeling satisfied.This may be one reason why flow feels so enjoyable and why people are so focused on tasks that make them feel flow.. Research also shows that flow is associated with dampened activity in brain structures related to self- focus and negative thoughts.This may help explain why feeling flow can help distract (people from worry.However,the above-mentioned studies were correlational,not causal.Further study of this connection is vital. 27.According to the passage,flow is most likely to occur when someone is A.playing chess against a stronger competitor B.attending a concert of his favorite singer C.doing daily chores for his family members D.sharing his traveling experience with friends 28.Flow is called "the secret to happiness"partly because it can help A.turn demanding tasks into easier ones B.distract people from negative thoughts C.remind people to take necessary breaks D.break long-term goals into shorter ones 29.What does the underlined word"dampened"in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.planned B.imbalanced C.reduced D.started 30.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.When does the state of“flow”occur? B.What happens in our brain during "flow"? C.Why does experiencing"flow"feel so good? D.How can"flow"be achieved in everyday life? 英语试卷第6页（共8页） 第二部分 本部分共5小题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 五、阅读表达（第31-33题每题2分，第34题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Internet has changed the way people get news and use media.These changes are easy to notice if we compare life today with life thirty years ago.At that time,many families watched the evening news together on television.Since there were only a few ways to leamn about important events, watching the news became a common family activity.Today,people can follow the news whenever they want. In the past,newspaper editors decided what was news and reported it.They chose which events were important enough to appear in the newspaper.Today,almost anyone can share news.With a smartphone,people can record videos of events and upload them to the Internet within minutes. People around the world can then watch these videos,even if they live far from where the events happened.Some news websites even get information directly from people who see events happen, such as a car accident.This allows stories to reach the public much faster than before.However,not every shared report is completely reliable. The Internet has also changed the way people communicate.It has introduced many new words, such as"microblogging".More importantly,it has made media more interactive.In the past,media was usually a one-way process:journalists gave information,while readers and viewers received it. Now readers can leave comments below news articles and share their opinions.As a result, communication has become more like a dialogue rather than a speech. However,traditional newspapers are facing serious problems.In many countries,newspaper sales have dropped in recent years.Newspapers used to make much of their money from advertising, not just from selling copies.Nowadays,more companies choose to advertise online because they want to reach people who spend time on the Internet.As newspaper sales fall,fewer companies want to advertise in newspapers.Consequently,newspapers are losing both readers and advertising income. It may become harder for them to survive in the future. 31.Who decided what was news in the past? 32.How has the Internet made media more interactive? 33.Why may it be harder for newspapers to survive in the future? 34.Do you prefer getting news online or reading newspapers'?Why?(at least2 reasons至少两个 理由) 英语试卷第7页（共8页） 六、文段表达(10分) 35.从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文 中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 题目① 假设你是李华，科技社团将举办“新媒体进校园”(New Media into Campus)主题活 动，包含主题为新媒体改变生活的讲座，机器人表演和短视频拍摄体验活动等内容。请你以 社团的名义用英语写一则活动通知，邀请外国留学生参加。内容包括：活动时间和地点，内 容安排和参加方式。 提示词语：lecture,.robot,,short video,create,sign up 提示问题：l.When and where will the event take place?? 2.What will happen during the event? 3.How can students join it?
