I had been busy with work and had not spent much time with him recently. Even though he is only six and can be a bit stubborn, he is growing up fast — and that night he taught me something I didn’t expect. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo got in my eyes.” I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down, Dad!” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to cup clean water in his hands and rinse his eyes while blinking. It worked, and he felt better. I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better. In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. 4.

Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better.(但更大的教训是，当我们面对问题时，情绪化且仓促地行事可能不是最好的办法。保持冷静并思考正确的解决方案会更好。)”可知，作者的经历表明冷静思考能带来更好的解决办法。 C Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some research show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers. The study involved more than 1,200 students, aged 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors, while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health. “We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson. “Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said. 8. What does the new study mainly focus on? A. Physical benefits of cycling. B. Challenges in middle school. C. Mental effects of bike riding. D. Teenagers’ learning problems. 9. What did the students do in the program? A. Take cycling classes for a week. B. Learn how to keep safe while cycling. C. Do indoor exercise to raise heart rates. D. Create questionnaires for health research. 10. What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Evidence from previous research. B. Application of the research results. C. Limits of exercise’s mental benefits. D. Doubts over the programs’ real value. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍一项研究，探究骑行对青少年心理的作用。研究发现骑行有益于青少年心理与社交，但运动的心理益处并非万能，睡眠、屏幕使用时长和性别都会影响改善效果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.(洛马琳达大学医学院研究员威尔逊和合著者开展了一项新研究，旨在探究参与骑行项目是否能给青少年的心理带来可衡量的改变)”可知，这项新研究主要研究骑自行车对心理产生的影响。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors, while raising their heart rate and just having fun.(学生每周至少上三天骑行课，持续六周。他们在户外学习骑行安全知识、练习技巧，提升心率，享受乐趣)”可知，学生在项目中学习骑行时如何保证自身安全。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.(斯坦福大学医学院教授艾伦·赖斯说：“骑行会调动大脑多项功能。你需要运用听觉、保持平衡、辨别方向和转弯。你常常和别人一起骑行，同伴或者集体活动会带来积极影响。”)”可知，Reiss认可骑行的作用，对研究结果持支持态度。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.(尽管运动对心理健康大有裨益，但这种效果并非适用于所有人。例如，以往研究表明，十几岁女孩患上抑郁、焦虑这类心理问题的风险比男孩更高。威尔逊称，这项最新研究发现，虽然参与骑行项目后，初中女生的幸福感有所提升，但这种提升 “或许只能达到男生的基准水平”。威尔逊还指出，健康生活的其他方面同样重要。他表示，研究发现：那些没有将每日屏幕使用时长控制在最多两小时，或是睡眠达不到建议的8.5小时的青少年，幸福感的改善效果会更弱)”可知，本段主要讲述运动给心理健康带来益处存在局限性。 D Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges. Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills depend on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调). One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes(调整) our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems. Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single­ syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is pronounced. For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years. As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint(眯), bewilder (迷) and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds. The lead author of the study, Patrick C.M.Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments. 12. When learning Chinese, a foreigner will find . A. he has a difficult time learning music at the same time B. he has an easier time learning music at the same time C. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand D. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch 13. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training? A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music. B. Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain. C. Because music training might help people with language study. D. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music. 14. How did the researchers do the research for the study? A. They chose 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers with no musical background. B. 20 volunteers were shown a movie about the Mandarin word “mi”. C. They only heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi”. D. They studied how well 20 volunteers were processing the Chinese sounds they heard. 15. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers B. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study C. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning D. Schools Need to Develop Music Programs 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习汉语更容易。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand.(任何一个尝试过学习汉语的外国人都可以看出，掌握说话和理解所需的音调是多么困难。)”可知，学习汉语时，外国人很难掌握说话和理解所需的音调，故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Northwestern University say that both skills depend on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(西北大学表示，这两种技能都依赖于大脑中帮助人们发现音高变化的相同部分)”可知，汉语学习与音乐训练有关的原因是因为学习两种技能的时候都利用了大脑的相同部分，故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years(在这项研究中，研究人员观察了20名非中文语志愿者，其中一半没有音乐背景，另一半学习乐器至少六年)”以及倒数第二段“As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint(眯), bewilder(迷)and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds(当他们观看电影时，志愿者们还听到了一盘普通话拼音“mi”的录音带，它有三个含义：眯、迷和米。研究人员记录了他们脑干的活动，以观察他们对声音的处理情况。)”可知，研究人员研究了20名志愿者对他们听到的汉语发音的处理情况，故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第二段“Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.(现在研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习汉语更容易。)”、倒数第三段“For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years(在这项研究中，研究人员观察了20名非中文志愿者，其中一半没有音乐背景，另一半学习乐器至少六年。)”和倒数第二段的“Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.(那些有音乐背景的人对中文声音的反应显示出更多的大脑活动)”可知本文主要讲的是对音乐熟练可能有助于语言学习，故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. How Gen Z Chooses to Give Back When we think of volunteering, we often picture organized activities like picking up litter or running food drives. ___16___ Instead of formal, scheduled volunteer work, they prefer small, everyday acts of kindness. The survey, done by The Allstate Foundation and Gallup, found that about 8 in 10 young people aged 12 to 25 have taken part in some form of community service. However, their service often looks quite different from traditional volunteering. ___17___ About 7 in 10 said they had helped someone with a task at least “a few times” in the past week — whether that meant carrying something for a neighbor or helping a classmate with homework. The Allstate Foundation sees this as a sign that young people view service not as a special activity, but as a natural part of daily life. ___18___ About half said they donate or organize donations for food, clothing, or other objects. Unlike many formal volunteer opportunities that require transportation or complex (复杂的) scheduling, donation drives can be started quickly, often through social media. Interestingly, only about 1 in 10 young volunteers said all their service activities were required by schools or clubs. About half said some were required, while 4 in 10 said none of them was mandatory (强制的). ___19___ Greg Weatherford II, an American writer and public speaker, said that all forms of service matter. ___20___ “What is of the same importance is the young person that’s taking time to write a letter to a classmate who may just be needing some extra encouragement,” he said. A. The most popular form of service among young people is giving. B. Many young people feel they don’t have time for formal volunteering. C. Most young people prefer to volunteer through schools rather than on their own. D. It seems that young volunteers are choosing service that fits easily into their life. E. But a new survey suggests young people today have a different idea about service. F. This suggests most young people serve because they want to, not because they have to. G. He said we should praise young people doing great good, and those doing simple things. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍一项调查显示Z世代不偏爱传统志愿活动，更喜欢日常微小善举和捐赠，大多主动参与志愿服务，各类形式的善意都值得肯定。 【16题详解】 上文“When we think of volunteering, we often picture organized activities like picking up litter or running food drives. (当我们想到志愿活动时，脑海里常常浮现捡垃圾、食物募捐这类有组织的活动)”介绍人们对志愿活动的固有印象，下文“Instead of formal, scheduled volunteer work, they prefer small, everyday acts of kindness.

(然而，他们的服务形式和传统志愿活动大不相同)”点明年轻人志愿服务形式不同，下文“About 7 in 10 said they had helped someone with a task at least “a few times” in the past week — whether that meant carrying something for a neighbor or helping a classmate with homework. (大约七成受访者表示，过去一周里他们至少几次帮别人做事，帮邻居提东西或是辅导同学作业)”举例说明日常助人，D选项“看起来青年志愿者选择的是容易融入日常生活的服务方式”承接上文，概括下文例子，符合语境。 【18题详解】 下文“About half said they donate or organize donations for food, clothing, or other objects. (大约一半的年轻人会捐赠或者组织食物、衣物以及其他物品的捐赠活动)”介绍捐赠这种服务形式，A选项“在年轻人当中最受欢迎的服务形式是给予、捐赠”总起本段，引出下文捐赠的内容，符合语境。 【19题详解】 上文“Interestingly, only about 1 in 10 young volunteers said all their service activities were required by schools or clubs. About half said some were required, while 4 in 10 said none of them was mandatory (强制的). (有趣的是，仅有十分之一青年志愿者的志愿活动全部是学校或社团要求的，一半是部分要求，四成完全没有强制要求)”给出强制志愿的数据，F选项“这表明大多数年轻人参与服务是出于自愿，而不是被迫的”总结前文数据，符合语境。 【20题详解】 上文“Greg Weatherford II, an American writer and public speaker, said that all forms of service matter. (美国作家兼演说家Greg Weatherford II说所有形式的服务都很重要)”说明各种形式都很重要，下文““What is of the same importance is the young person that’s taking time to write a letter to a classmate who may just be needing some extra encouragement,” he said. (他说：“同样重要的是，年轻人花时间给可能只是需要额外鼓励的同学写信。”)”强调无论大事小事都应被肯定，G选项“他说我们既要称赞做大事的年轻人，也要肯定做简单善事的年轻人”承接人物观点，引出后文小事同样重要的表述，符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.

I had been busy with work and had not spent much time with him recently. Even though he is only six and can be a bit stubborn, he is growing up fast — and that night he taught me something I didn’t expect. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo got in my eyes.” I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down, Dad!” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to cup clean water in his hands and rinse his eyes while blinking. It worked, and he felt better. I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better. In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. 4. What happened to the author’s son last night? A. He argued with his dad. B. He fell in the bathroom. C. He got angry due to the meal. D. He got shampoo in his eyes. 5. Why did the situation get worse? A. The boy rubbed his eyes with soapy hands. B. The father left the bathroom. C. The boy refused to wash his face. D. The father used the wrong shampoo. 6. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue” mean? A. Secretly. B. Suddenly. C. Naturally. D. Morally. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Children need more independence. B. Parents know their children best. C. Calm thinking leads to better solutions. D. Difficulties make people stronger. C Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some research show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers. The study involved more than 1,200 students, aged 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors, while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health. “We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson. “Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said. 8. What does the new study mainly focus on? A. Physical benefits of cycling. B. Challenges in middle school. C. Mental effects of bike riding. D. Teenagers’ learning problems. 9. What did the students do in the program? A. Take cycling classes for a week. B. Learn how to keep safe while cycling. C. Do indoor exercise to raise heart rates. D. Create questionnaires for health research. 10. What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Evidence from previous research. B. Application of the research results. C. Limits of exercise’s mental benefits. D. Doubts over the programs’ real value. D Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges. Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills depend on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调). One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes(调整) our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems. Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single­ syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is pronounced. For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years. As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint(眯), bewilder (迷) and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds. The lead author of the study, Patrick C.M.Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments. 12. When learning Chinese, a foreigner will find . A. he has a difficult time learning music at the same time B. he has an easier time learning music at the same time C. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand D. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch 13. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training? A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music. B. Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain. C. Because music training might help people with language study. D. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music. 14. How did the researchers do the research for the study? A. They chose 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers with no musical background. B. 20 volunteers were shown a movie about the Mandarin word “mi”. C. They only heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi”. D. They studied how well 20 volunteers were processing the Chinese sounds they heard. 15. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers B. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study C. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning D. Schools Need to Develop Music Programs 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. How Gen Z Chooses to Give Back When we think of volunteering, we often picture organized activities like picking up litter or running food drives. ___16___ Instead of formal, scheduled volunteer work, they prefer small, everyday acts of kindness. The survey, done by The Allstate Foundation and Gallup, found that about 8 in 10 young people aged 12 to 25 have taken part in some form of community service. However, their service often looks quite different from traditional volunteering. ___17___ About 7 in 10 said they had helped someone with a task at least “a few times” in the past week — whether that meant carrying something for a neighbor or helping a classmate with homework. The Allstate Foundation sees this as a sign that young people view service not as a special activity, but as a natural part of daily life. ___18___ About half said they donate or organize donations for food, clothing, or other objects. Unlike many formal volunteer opportunities that require transportation or complex (复杂的) scheduling, donation drives can be started quickly, often through social media. Interestingly, only about 1 in 10 young volunteers said all their service activities were required by schools or clubs. About half said some were required, while 4 in 10 said none of them was mandatory (强制的). ___19___ Greg Weatherford II, an American writer and public speaker, said that all forms of service matter. ___20___ “What is of the same importance is the young person that’s taking time to write a letter to a classmate who may just be needing some extra encouragement,” he said. A. The most popular form of service among young people is giving. B. Many young people feel they don’t have time for formal volunteering. C. Most young people prefer to volunteer through schools rather than on their own. D. It seems that young volunteers are choosing service that fits easily into their life. E. But a new survey suggests young people today have a different idea about service. F. This suggests most young people serve because they want to, not because they have to. G. He said we should praise young people doing great good, and those doing simple things. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.
