High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was math, which happened to be my weakest subject. I had a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my math teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my math struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realized that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者高中第一天的校园经历,包括初入校园的不安、课堂上老师带来的慰藉、午餐时收获友谊,以及作者对高中生活的初步感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost. (当我走进学校大门时,一群学生向我打招呼。走廊里充满了欢声笑语。这让人应接不暇,我感觉自己就像浩瀚海洋里的一条小鱼。我紧紧地攥着课程表,试图找到正确的教室。因为害怕迷路,我的心跳得很快。)”可知,作者是因为面对陌生的校园环境,害怕迷路、难以应对,内心充满对未知环境的恐惧才会有这种感受。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. (我的英语老师约翰逊夫人做了自我介绍,让每个人都感到很自在。她讲解了我们这学期要学习的内容,并鼓励我们分享自己的想法和观点。)”可知,英语老师约翰逊夫人主动介绍自己,让学生感到自在,还会鼓励学生分享想法,能体现出她富有启发且十分友好。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The next class was math, which happened to be my weakest subject. I had a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom. (下一节课是数学,而这恰好是我最薄弱的科目。走进教室时,我心里一阵紧张。)”可知,数学是作者的薄弱学科,进教室时她心里很紧张、焦虑。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It was during this time that I realized that high school wasn't just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories. (就在这段时间里,我意识到高中不仅仅关乎学术科目,还关乎建立友谊和留下永恒的回忆。)”可知,作者意识到高中生活不只是学习文化课,还包括建立友谊、留存珍贵回忆,即兼顾学习与交友。故选D。
C
Picture this: you win three tickets to a sold-out concert and excitedly text your friends to see if they would like to join you. Their reply? “Maybe.” Immediately, your excitement drops, for now you have to wait for their decisions before you can finalize your concert plans.
If you’ve experienced something like this, you’re not alone. The “maybe” response to invitations is a common upset in social life. So, what’s going on when people aren’t sure how to refuse an invitation? What leads to this uncertain, awkward behavior?
Researchers have found that people prefer saying “maybe” to saying “no” because of something called motivated reasoning (动机性推理), which happens when invitees view information in a biased way to serve their own interests. In other words, receivers of an invitation make themselves believe that inviters want to hear a “maybe” because it helps them keep their choices open. Also, people often imagine that saying “no” will ruin the relationship, completely ignoring the possibility that honesty might be appreciated.
However, there are situations where motivated reasoning fails, and people choose to say “no” directly. When invitees put themselves in the inviter’s shoes, they realize that a clear “no” is more helpful. Additionally, if the invitation holds no interest for them at all, they no longer feel the need to leave their options available.
While saying “no” can be uncomfortable, being direct and clear is always the best policy. It may limit your choices, but it saves the inviter from uncertainty and helps protect the relationship. Next time a hot concert comes along, your friends will be even more likely to think of you first!
8. Why does the author mention the concert story in Paragraph 1?
A. To encourage quick replies. B. To reflect common feelings.
C. To introduce a social situation. D. To explain invitees’ motivation.
9. What does the underlined word “biased” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Positive B. Objective C. One-sided D. Reasonable
10. What makes invitees prefer a “no” in certain situations?
A. Consideration for the inviter. B. Fear of ruining the relationship.
C. Uncertainty about the invitation. D. Wishes to keep their choices open.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward saying “maybe” to an invitation?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍人们面对邀约常回复“maybe”的心理原因,分析直接拒绝的适用情形,倡导社交中清晰坦诚的交流方式。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If you’ve experienced something like this, you’re not alone. The “maybe” response to invitations is a common upset in social life.(如果你有过类似经历,你并不孤单。面对邀约回复“也许”是社交生活中常见的烦恼。)”可知,作者以音乐会的故事开篇,目的是引出一种普遍的社交现象。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Researchers have found that people prefer saying “maybe” to saying “no” because of something called motivated reasoning (动机性推理), which happens when invitees view information in a biased way to serve their own interests.(研究人员发现,相较于直接拒绝,人们更倾向于说“也许”。这源于一种叫作动机性推理的心理现象,即被邀约者会带着biased看待信息,以此维护自身利益。)”以及“Also, people often imagine that saying “no” will ruin the relationship, completely ignoring the possibility that honesty might be appreciated.(此外,人们常常认为拒绝会破坏人际关系,却完全忽略了坦诚相待或许会受人认可的可能性。)”可知,人们只为满足自身需求看待问题,看待信息不客观、不全面,由此判断,划线单词biased表示“片面的、偏颇的”,one-sided与之含义相符。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When invitees put themselves in the inviter’s shoes, they realize that a clear “no” is more helpful.(当受邀者换位思考,站在邀请者的角度考虑时,他们会发现明确拒绝会更合适。)”可知,体谅、顾及邀请人的感受,会让人们选择直接说不。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“While saying “no” can be uncomfortable, being direct and clear is always the best policy. It may limit your choices, but it saves the inviter from uncertainty and helps protect the relationship.(虽然拒绝他人会让人不适,但坦率直白永远是上策。这或许会限制你的选择,却能让邀约者不再纠结揣测,也有助于维系彼此的关系。)”可知,作者提倡直白明确的回复,不认可敷衍模糊的“maybe”,可推断作者对此持不赞成的态度。
D
Leafy vegetables are widely considered to be a healthy and tasty food choice, and eating enough leafy greens supports overall health. Now “Dinosaur time” is a popular online trend (趋势) that is helping all kinds of people, from busy moms to picky kids, get the leafy greens their bodies need.
The trend originated with Amy Garrett, a former middle school science teacher and stay-at-home mom, who shared her unusual way to eat vegetables with her nearly 50,000 followers. In her videos, she eats leafy greens without preparing them or putting them in a salad. Instead, she eats them like a dinosaur, often with dinosaur-related music playing in the background.
Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses “Dinosaur time” to add vegetables before her lunch.
It isn’t just adults getting inspired by “Dinosaur time”. Young children naturally enjoy pretending to be dinosaurs and parents are taking advantage of their little ones’ imaginations to encourage them to eat more healthily, using this fun trend. Alexis Chase, a mom of two, shared that after her 12-year-old saw her trying “Dinosaur time”, he said, “I believe I can eat those vegetables faster than you.” And she replied, “No, you can’t.” In this way, her family is encouraged to eat their vegetables.
While this trend is great, people who’re at risk of kidney stones (肾结石) should be careful, and those who’re on blood thinners should ask their doctors for advice before changing their diet. Eating vegetables is a time-tested way to get nutrients (营养物) fast.
12. What is the main purpose of “Dinosaur time”?
A. To promote vegetable sales.
B. To teach dinosaur knowledge.
C. To attract social media followers.
D. To help people eat greens more easily.
13. What is the advantage of “Dinosaur time” over salads?
A. It provides more nutrients. B. It costs less money.
C. It requires less time. D. It tastes better.
14. How does Alexis Chase encourage her child?
A. By creating competition. B. By setting examples.
C. By offering awards. D. By making rules.
15. What can be inferred about the “Dinosaur time” trend from the last paragraph?
A. It helps to treat diseases. B. It isn’t suitable for everyone.
C. It needs special preparation. D. It is well accepted globally.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍网红“恐龙时刻”趣味吃菜风潮,该吃法省时便捷,能带动大人孩子主动吃绿叶菜,但并非适合所有人群。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now ‘Dinosaur time’ is a popular online trend that is helping all kinds of people, from busy moms to picky kids, get the leafy greens their bodies need. (如今,‘恐龙时刻’成为热门网络风潮,帮助忙碌的家长、挑食的孩子等各类人群摄入身体所需的绿叶菜。)”及第三段“Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses ‘Dinosaur time’ to add vegetables before her lunch. (许多人想要吃得健康,却没时间切菜和准备蔬菜,加勒特的视频深受这类人群喜爱。她在视频中表示,制作和食用沙拉十分耗时。她不会把沙拉当作正餐,而是借着‘恐龙时刻’在午餐前补充蔬菜。)”可知,“恐龙时刻”的作用是帮助各类人群获取身体需要的绿叶菜,结合它不需要提前准备蔬菜的特点,可知它的核心目的是帮助人们更轻松地吃绿叶菜。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses ‘Dinosaur time’ to add vegetables before her lunch. (许多人想要吃得健康,却没时间切菜和准备蔬菜,加勒特的视频深受这类人群喜爱。她在视频中表示,制作和食用沙拉十分耗时。她不会把沙拉当作正餐,而是借着‘恐龙时刻’在午餐前补充蔬菜。)”可知,沙拉制作和食用都很耗时,“恐龙时刻”不需要提前处理准备蔬菜,对比沙拉的优势是耗时更少。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Alexis Chase, a mom of two, shared that after her 12-year-old saw her trying ‘Dinosaur time’, he said, ‘I believe I can eat those vegetables faster than you.’ And she replied, ‘No, you can’t.’ In this way, her family is encouraged to eat their vegetables.(两位孩子的母亲亚历克西斯・蔡斯分享,十二岁的儿子看到她尝试恐龙吃法后,直言自己吃菜速度能超过妈妈,母亲随即应战比拼,以此带动全家主动吃蔬菜。)”可知,孩子提出要和亚历克西斯比赛谁吃菜更快,亚历克西斯通过回应激发了孩子的好胜心,是靠制造竞争鼓励孩子吃菜。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While this trend is great, people who’re at risk of kidney stones should be careful, and those who’re on blood thinners should ask their doctors for advice before changing their diet. (这种吃法虽益处颇多,但肾结石高危人群需谨慎尝试,服用抗凝药物的人群调整饮食前务必咨询医生。)”可知,有肾结石风险的人群需要谨慎,服用抗凝剂的人群需要先咨询医生,说明这个潮流并不适合所有人。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍设定与实现目标的几条建议,包括合理定目标、拆分目标、写下目标,同时要坚持不放弃。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Setting goals is the first step in achieving them.(设定目标是实现目标的第一步)”可知,空前提到设定目标是实现目标的第一步,后文开始罗列具体的目标设定建议,B项“下面的建议可能会对你有帮助”起到总起下文的过渡作用,符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据上文“●Set goals that can be achieved. Don’t push yourself to achieve more than what is possible. Instead, you should set goals based on your abilities and skills.(●设定能够达成的目标。不要强迫自己去完成超出能力范围的事。相反,你应该依据自身能力和技能设定目标)”可知,该段核心是建议设定符合自身能力的可实现目标,G项“通过这种方式,你可以逐步建立信心”承接上文基于自身能力设目标的做法,说明其带来的积极作用,逻辑通顺。
【18题详解】
根据后文“When you do so, they will seem easier to reach. You will be proud of yourself when you realize each small goal. This will also give you the encouragement to achieve your long-term goal.(这样做的时候,目标看起来会更容易实现。当你完成每一个小目标,你会为自己感到自豪。这也会激励你去实现长远目标)”可知,空处是该段的小标题,后文内容提到拆分后的小目标更容易实现,完成每个小目标会让人自豪,还能助力实现长期目标,对应C项“把大目标拆分成小目标”的核心内容。
【19题详解】
根据上文“●Write your goals on paper. It is a good idea to put your goals where you can see them. You can keep the list on your bedside table.(●把目标写在纸上。把目标放在看得见的地方是个好办法。你可以把清单放在床头柜上)”可知,该段建议把目标写在纸上放在显眼处,前文提到可以把清单放在床头柜上,E项“或者你可以把它贴在卧室墙上”是另一种放置目标清单的可选方式,衔接自然。
【20题详解】
根据上文“After you set a goal, it is important to stick to it and work hard towards it. You may find achieving goals difficult. But you should not give up.(定下目标之后,坚持目标并为之努力十分重要。你或许会发现实现目标并不容易,但不要放弃)”以及后文“You will succeed in the end.(最终你就会成功)”可知,空前提到实现目标可能有难度,但你不应该放弃,D项“相反,要保持积极和自信”承接“不要放弃”的表述,给出正确的应对态度,和后文最终会成功的内容呼应。

High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was math, which happened to be my weakest subject. I had a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my math teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my math struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realized that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.
4. Why did the author feel like a tiny fish in a vast ocean at first?
A. Because of excitement and curiosity.
B. Because of the school’s welcoming atmosphere.
C. Because of good preparations for the new school.
D. Because of fear of the unfamiliar environment.
5. Which words can best describe the English teacher?
A. Generous and powerful. B. Responsible and patient.
C. Inspiring and friendly. D. Outgoing and warm-hearted.
6. How did the author feel when entering the math class?
A. Anxious. B. Excited. C. Relaxed. D. Confident.
7. What did the author learn from the first day of high school?
A. High school is only about studying hard.
B. Making friends is more important than studying.
C. High school life is much easier than expected.
D. High school is about both study and friendship-building.

Picture this: you win three tickets to a sold-out concert and excitedly text your friends to see if they would like to join you. Their reply? “Maybe.” Immediately, your excitement drops, for now you have to wait for their decisions before you can finalize your concert plans.
If you’ve experienced something like this, you’re not alone. The “maybe” response to invitations is a common upset in social life. So, what’s going on when people aren’t sure how to refuse an invitation? What leads to this uncertain, awkward behavior?
Researchers have found that people prefer saying “maybe” to saying “no” because of something called motivated reasoning (动机性推理), which happens when invitees view information in a biased way to serve their own interests. In other words, receivers of an invitation make themselves believe that inviters want to hear a “maybe” because it helps them keep their choices open. Also, people often imagine that saying “no” will ruin the relationship, completely ignoring the possibility that honesty might be appreciated.
However, there are situations where motivated reasoning fails, and people choose to say “no” directly. When invitees put themselves in the inviter’s shoes, they realize that a clear “no” is more helpful. Additionally, if the invitation holds no interest for them at all, they no longer feel the need to leave their options available.
While saying “no” can be uncomfortable, being direct and clear is always the best policy. It may limit your choices, but it saves the inviter from uncertainty and helps protect the relationship. Next time a hot concert comes along, your friends will be even more likely to think of you first!
8. Why does the author mention the concert story in Paragraph 1?
A. To encourage quick replies. B. To reflect common feelings.
C. To introduce a social situation. D. To explain invitees’ motivation.
9. What does the underlined word “biased” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Positive B. Objective C. One-sided D. Reasonable
10. What makes invitees prefer a “no” in certain situations?
A. Consideration for the inviter. B. Fear of ruining the relationship.
C. Uncertainty about the invitation. D. Wishes to keep their choices open.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward saying “maybe” to an invitation?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
D
Leafy vegetables are widely considered to be a healthy and tasty food choice, and eating enough leafy greens supports overall health. Now “Dinosaur time” is a popular online trend (趋势) that is helping all kinds of people, from busy moms to picky kids, get the leafy greens their bodies need.
The trend originated with Amy Garrett, a former middle school science teacher and stay-at-home mom, who shared her unusual way to eat vegetables with her nearly 50,000 followers. In her videos, she eats leafy greens without preparing them or putting them in a salad. Instead, she eats them like a dinosaur, often with dinosaur-related music playing in the background.
Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses “Dinosaur time” to add vegetables before her lunch.
It isn’t just adults getting inspired by “Dinosaur time”. Young children naturally enjoy pretending to be dinosaurs and parents are taking advantage of their little ones’ imaginations to encourage them to eat more healthily, using this fun trend. Alexis Chase, a mom of two, shared that after her 12-year-old saw her trying “Dinosaur time”, he said, “I believe I can eat those vegetables faster than you.” And she replied, “No, you can’t.” In this way, her family is encouraged to eat their vegetables.
While this trend is great, people who’re at risk of kidney stones (肾结石) should be careful, and those who’re on blood thinners should ask their doctors for advice before changing their diet. Eating vegetables is a time-tested way to get nutrients (营养物) fast.
12. What is the main purpose of “Dinosaur time”?
