This year’s favorite books offer valuable insights and practical wisdom to help us manage our personal lives, relationships, and communities with hope and positivity.
Fight Right
John and Julie Gottman’s Fight Right is a groundbreaking guide for couples tackling the complexities of relationships. The Gottmans, pioneers in couples therapy, share their decades of research on building and maintaining strong relationships. They distinguish between long-term and short-term conflicts, offering practical tips for addressing both. By emphasizing gentle communication, avoiding blame, and focusing on underlying needs, couples can transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper connection.
The Art of the Interesting
Lorraine Besser’s The Art of the Interesting challenges the conventional idea of the “good life” by advocating for psychological richness. Besser encourages readers to seek out novel and challenging experiences that engage the mind and awaken deep emotions. By tapping into our natural curiosity, planning less, and welcome challenges, we can enhance our sense of connection and agency.
The Other Significant Others
Rhaina Cohen’s The Other Significant Others explorers the power of deep, committed friendships as an alternative to traditional romantic partnerships. Cohen shares stories of people who have created close friendships that provide stability, community, and closeness. By challenging cultural norms that prioritize romantic relationships, this book highlights the importance of building loving friendships as a source of support and connection.
Possible
William Ury’s Possible provides hope and practical tools for resolving seemingly unbeatable conflicts. Drawing on his experience as a negotiator, Ury shares strategies for transforming conflicts into opportunities for cooperation. He emphasizes the importance of seeking underlying goals and interests rather than focusing on positions, listening without dehumanizing the “other side”, and engaging a wider community.

C. Rhaina Cohen. D. William Ury.
22. What is the main point of The Other Significant Others?

What does it mean to travel somewhere new but not be able to see it? That question led me on a 10-day journey through northern India with Traveleyes, a British tour company that pairs blind travelers with normal tourists. I was paired with Candie, a woman from Seattle.
“Please tell me whatever you see, even if it’s just someone sleeping on the sidewalk,” Candie told me when we first met.
So I looked around along the way and tried my best to do what I was told to do. To my surprise, I began to notice how describing things aloud made me more observant. Things I might have otherwise overlooked became more visible to me the moment I put them into words.
“Candie, I see hairdressers shaving customers on low chairs on the sidewalk. They hang their mirrors on the trees along the roadside,” I described to Candie. “I also see cars here driving on the left, and the drivers almost universally ignore the clearly marked road lines!”
We eventually arrived in Ranthambore, one of the best places in India to spot wild tigers. Touring the park in an open-topped bus, we spotted no tigers. Most tourists were disappointed. But Candie and I weren’t, since I discovered tiger footprints on the ground and shared with Candie what I saw and thought about the creature.
“What an amazing journey!” Candie said by the end of the trip. “Thank you very much!”
Candie’s response suddenly reminded me of the difference between how blind and sighted people experience a travel: For sighted travelers, it’s more like watching a film as they tend to rely on immediate visual cues to form quick impressions. For the visually impaired ones, the world reveals itself more slowly, through layers of sound, touch and smell. It’s more like reading a novel, where the story unfolds through detail and imagination.
24. What was special about the journey organized by Traveleyes?
A. It tried to highlight the challenges faced by the blind.
B. Each sighted tourist had to travel with a blind partner.
C. Most of the participants were scientists and researchers.
D. Tourists were encouraged to describe aloud what they saw.
25. What does the underlined word “observant” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sharp-eyed. B. Intelligent. C. Broad-minded. D. Cautious.
26. What did the author and Candie do in Ranthambore?
A. They shared funny stories. B. They spotted tiger footprints.
C. They tracked tigers on foot. D. They had meaningful discussions.
27. What message does the author most probably want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Every small act of kindness counts.
C. Travel is feeling, imaging and sharing.
D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C
As heat waves in Western Europe pushed temperatures this summer to punishing levels, the traditional Spanish folding hand fan, or abanico, became an essential tool for cooling, favored by the young and old, women and men from Spain and elsewhere.
But how did this humble thing evolve over centuries? Let’s take a journey through time, tracing the rise, fall and rebirth of the folding hand fan.
It’s believed that China introduced the folding fan, while Japan perfected its design and integrated it deeply into art and social structure. These early fans weren’t just functional — they were works of art made of bamboo and silk, and painted with beautiful scenes.
In Europe, fans were initially imported as luxury goods. By the 1500s, they had become trendy accessories among the nobles. But it wasn’t until the 1800s that fans truly found their golden era in Western fashion and society. Women never left the house without one. Fans weren’t just tools for cooling — they were luxury items and status symbols. Some fans were so artistic that they were displayed more than used. The craftsmanship during this era was second to none. Fanmakers, particularly in France and Spain, were respected by the society.
As the world stepped into the 20th century, everything began to change — including the production of folding hand fans. Industrialization hit hard, and handcrafts gave way to machine-made goods. What once took days to make could now be mass-produced in hours.
With faster production came lower costs, which made fans more accessible to the middle and lower classes. However, the trade-off was a noticeable drop in craftsmanship and artistry. Many traditional fanmakers couldn’t compete with factories, and most of them were forced out of the trade.
On the fashion front, fan use declined as women’s clothing became more and more practical. The shift to simpler styles meant accessories like fans were seen as outdated.
28. Why did the folding hand fan regain popularity in Europe this summer?
A. It was very hot in Europe. B. It was cool to carry it around.
C. It was in short supply. D. It became a symbol of wealth.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about regarding the folding hand fan?
A. Its fall. B. Its origin. C. Its rise. D. Its rebirth.
30. What can we know about the traditional European fanmakers in the 20th century?
A. They improved their skills. B. Their products remained competitive.
C. They became factory owners. D. Most of them lost their well-paid jobs.
31. What eventually led to the decline of folding hand fans on the fashion front?
A. Outdated design. B. Changed styles of clothing.
C. Reduced functionality. D. Shifted artistic taste.
D
Climate change is making El Niño stronger and more dangerous than ever before, scientists warn in a new study published in Science. They reveal that El Niño events have become nearly 40% stronger over the past four decades than they were in the preindustrial era.
“We don’t see a time in the past where El Ninos have been as strong as today,” one of the authors, Julia Cole, says in a statement. “Our findings tell us that the big El Niño events of the last 40 years are not normal in the context of the last thousand years.”
El Nino events occur every two to seven years as part of the Pacific Ocean’s El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) natural climate cycle. The ENSO cycle shifts between the warmer El Niño phase and the cooler La Niña phase, with neutral periods in between. Earth’s last El Nino ran from June 2023 to April 2024, delivering a huge amount of heat to our already warming world that made 2024 the hottest year on record.
The study comes as the world is in the grips of a historic “super” El Nino. While daily average sea surface temperatures rose to record highs, forecasters have become almost certain that the 2026 to 2027 El Niño will be an all-time record event.
“The question is not whether the current El Niño is going to happen, but how bad it is going to be, and how bad the impacts will be.” Cole writes. “Previous studies have shown that El Niño is a really big source of climate extremes which may lead to droughts, floods, wildfire and food insecurity.”
The researchers further stress the urgent need to slow down further global warming and note that no country has the resources to be fully protected from these impacts. “This is one more reason we need to move away from fossil fuels, the root cause of the problem,” Cole adds.
32. What did Julia Cole’s team find about El Nino events?
A. They became stronger when they lasted longer.
B. They grew more dangerous in the past 40 years.
C. They started happening shortly after the industrial era.
D. They only occurred every 2 to 7 years 1,000 years ago.
33. Which of the following best describes La Niña?
A. It brings the temperature down. B. It occurs less frequently than El Niños.
C. It is much more dangerous than El Ninos. D. It happens in the middle of the ENSO cycle.
34. How does Julia Cole feel about the current El Niño?
A. Unbothered. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
35. What is required to keep El Niño from worsening according to Julia Cole?
A. Punishing big polluters. B. More and more advanced technologies.
C. Relying less on fossil fuels. D. Commitment from wealthy countries.
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以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a fast-paced modern world, stress builds up quickly. It doesn’t just affect your mood, but also harms your health. Here are the things you can do right now — and the science behind why they work.
Take deep breaths. ____36____. Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory.
Hug it out — or hold a hand. ____37____. Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. In one study, couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t.
____38____. Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well.
Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. ____39____
Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. ____40____? Actually, any green space will do!
A. No parks nearby
B. Feeling very stressed
C. Touch matters for human beings
D. Deep breathing is a proven tool for clearer thinking
E. But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits
F. Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing
G. So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Arjun shut his bedroom door hard after his mother, Deepa, had just said no to the gaming tournament. “Your math mid-terms are next month,” she said. “You need to focus.”
“My grades are fine!” he shouted.
“They dropped ten points last week,” she replied quietly. “And I know you slept in class. Your teacher called.”
Arjun had no answer to that. He was still very angry. At seventeen, he felt he deserved trust, not control. However, his mother still treated him like a child who couldn’t make his own decisions.
For two days, they spoke only when necessary. Short answers. No eye contact. Deepa didn’t push. She went about her work — cooking, cleaning, running the small home-based tailor shop that paid their bills.
On the third evening, Arjun came home to find his mother sitting at her sewing machine. She wasn’t sewing. She was holding his math notebook — the one he had left open on the table.
“I wasn’t snooping (窥探),” she said. “I was cleaning.”
He grabbed it. “Then why are you looking?”
“Because the last three pages are full of mistakes.” She stood up. “Not because you are stupid, Arjun. Because you are tired. You stay up gaming until midnight. I hear you. Every night.”
Arjun opened his mouth to argue, but his mother raised a hand.
“I am not saying no because I don’t trust you,” she continued. “I am saying no because I see what you don’t see in yourself. You are running on empty. And if I let you run a marathon on an empty tank, you will crash. That is not control. That is a mother’s job.”
She turned back to her sewing machine. “Dinner is in the kitchen.”
Arjun stood there, holding his notebook. He wanted to be angry. But she hadn’t shouted. She hadn’t threatened. She had just… told the truth. He was tired. He had been making silly mistakes. He just hadn’t wanted to admit it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, Arjun woke up early — before his alarm.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next two weeks, Arjun kept his word.

But the main thing is that I’m doing this online course and I spend about an hour and a half each day on that.
M: Doing what?
W: Visiting the online library and discussing with my classmates. How about you, George?
M: Well, like you, I spend about 20 minutes a day just generally surfing around. I know it’s a bit of a waste of time, but I can’t do without it.

I didn’t realize I chose a movie rental channel. It was on all day. And I had to call a long-distance recorded information line, and I guess I didn’t put the phone back properly. And the fridge was all a mistake! I had this big birthday cake — it’s for you, sir. And I wanted to keep it cold, so I took everything out of the fridge. I didn’t realize that it automatically registered a charge when you removed something. Sir, it’s a beautiful cake. But I dropped it on the carpet when I took it out of the fridge. And the hotel says they’re going to charge me for cleaning the carpet, sir. I’m really, really sorry.

What does it mean to travel somewhere new but not be able to see it? That question led me on a 10-day journey through northern India with Traveleyes, a British tour company that pairs blind travelers with normal tourists. I was paired with Candie, a woman from Seattle.
“Please tell me whatever you see, even if it’s just someone sleeping on the sidewalk,” Candie told me when we first met.
So I looked around along the way and tried my best to do what I was told to do. To my surprise, I began to notice how describing things aloud made me more observant. Things I might have otherwise overlooked became more visible to me the moment I put them into words.
“Candie, I see hairdressers shaving customers on low chairs on the sidewalk. They hang their mirrors on the trees along the roadside,” I described to Candie. “I also see cars here driving on the left, and the drivers almost universally ignore the clearly marked road lines!”
We eventually arrived in Ranthambore, one of the best places in India to spot wild tigers. Touring the park in an open-topped bus, we spotted no tigers. Most tourists were disappointed. But Candie and I weren’t, since I discovered tiger footprints on the ground and shared with Candie what I saw and thought about the creature.
“What an amazing journey!” Candie said by the end of the trip. “Thank you very much!”
Candie’s response suddenly reminded me of the difference between how blind and sighted people experience a travel: For sighted travelers, it’s more like watching a film as they tend to rely on immediate visual cues to form quick impressions. For the visually impaired ones, the world reveals itself more slowly, through layers of sound, touch and smell. It’s more like reading a novel, where the story unfolds through detail and imagination.
24. What was special about the journey organized by Traveleyes?
A. It tried to highlight the challenges faced by the blind.
B. Each sighted tourist had to travel with a blind partner.
C. Most of the participants were scientists and researchers.
D. Tourists were encouraged to describe aloud what they saw.
25. What does the underlined word “observant” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sharp-eyed. B. Intelligent. C. Broad-minded. D. Cautious.
26. What did the author and Candie do in Ranthambore?
A. They shared funny stories. B. They spotted tiger footprints.
C. They tracked tigers on foot. D. They had meaningful discussions.
27. What message does the author most probably want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Every small act of kindness counts.
C. Travel is feeling, imaging and sharing.
D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者陪同盲人旅行者坎迪参加Traveleyes公司的印度北部之旅,通过为对方描述沿途所见,作者自身也对旅行的意义产生了全新的感悟,揭示了旅行不止是视觉观赏,更是感受、想象与分享的内核。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That question led me on a 10-day journey through northern India with Traveleyes, a British tour company that pairs blind travelers with normal tourists.(那个问题让我跟随英国旅游公司Traveleyes开启了一段为期十天的印度北部之旅,这家公司会将失明游客与普通游客结伴同行。)”可知,该旅行的特别之处在于每位视力正常的游客都需与一位盲人搭档同行。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段画线词“observant”后面的“Things I might have otherwise overlooked became more visible to me the moment I put them into words.(当我把它们用语言表述出来时,那些我原本可能忽略的事物变得清晰可见。)”可知,大声描述事物让“我”变得更善于观察,由此推知画线词含有“观察力敏锐的”之意,与sharp-eyed意思相近。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But Candie and I weren’t, since I discovered tiger footprints on the ground and shared with Candie what I saw and thought about the creature.(但坎迪和我却没有,因为我在地上发现了老虎脚印,并把我的所见以及对这只老虎的想法告诉了坎迪。)”及下文描述两人的交谈可知,二人在兰坦博尔国家公园交流所见与感悟,进行了有意义的交谈。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For sighted travelers, it’s more like watching a film as they tend to rely on immediate visual cues to form quick impressions. For the visually impaired ones, the world reveals itself more slowly, through layers of sound, touch and smell. It’s more like reading a novel, where the story unfolds through detail and imagination.(对于视力正常的旅行者而言,旅行更像是看一场电影,他们往往依靠即时的视觉信号快速形成印象。而视障人士感知世界的过程更为缓慢,依靠层层叠叠的声音、触感与气味来认识周遭。这更像是阅读一本小说,故事依靠细节与想象缓缓铺展。)”可知,本段通过对比两类旅行者的不同体验,点明旅行不局限于视觉观赏,更是多感官的感受与细节中的想象。由此推知作者意在传达:旅行的本质是感受、想象与分享。
C
As heat waves in Western Europe pushed temperatures this summer to punishing levels, the traditional Spanish folding hand fan, or abanico, became an essential tool for cooling, favored by the young and old, women and men from Spain and elsewhere.
But how did this humble thing evolve over centuries? Let’s take a journey through time, tracing the rise, fall and rebirth of the folding hand fan.
It’s believed that China introduced the folding fan, while Japan perfected its design and integrated it deeply into art and social structure. These early fans weren’t just functional — they were works of art made of bamboo and silk, and painted with beautiful scenes.
In Europe, fans were initially imported as luxury goods. By the 1500s, they had become trendy accessories among the nobles. But it wasn’t until the 1800s that fans truly found their golden era in Western fashion and society. Women never left the house without one. Fans weren’t just tools for cooling — they were luxury items and status symbols. Some fans were so artistic that they were displayed more than used. The craftsmanship during this era was second to none. Fanmakers, particularly in France and Spain, were respected by the society.
As the world stepped into the 20th century, everything began to change — including the production of folding hand fans. Industrialization hit hard, and handcrafts gave way to machine-made goods. What once took days to make could now be mass-produced in hours.
With faster production came lower costs, which made fans more accessible to the middle and lower classes. However, the trade-off was a noticeable drop in craftsmanship and artistry. Many traditional fanmakers couldn’t compete with factories, and most of them were forced out of the trade.
On the fashion front, fan use declined as women’s clothing became more and more practical. The shift to simpler styles meant accessories like fans were seen as outdated.
28. Why did the folding hand fan regain popularity in Europe this summer?
A. It was very hot in Europe. B. It was cool to carry it around.
C. It was in short supply. D. It became a symbol of wealth.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about regarding the folding hand fan?
A. Its fall. B. Its origin. C. Its rise. D. Its rebirth.
30. What can we know about the traditional European fanmakers in the 20th century?
A. They improved their skills. B. Their products remained competitive.
C. They became factory owners. D. Most of them lost their well-paid jobs.
31. What eventually led to the decline of folding hand fans on the fashion front?
A. Outdated design. B. Changed styles of clothing.
C. Reduced functionality. D. Shifted artistic taste.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍折扇的起源、在欧洲的兴盛,以及工业化和服装风格变化带来的衰落。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As heat waves in Western Europe pushed temperatures this summer to punishing levels, the traditional Spanish folding hand fan, or abanico, became an essential tool for cooling, favored by the young and old, women and men from Spain and elsewhere.(今年夏天,西欧的热浪将气温推至难以忍受的水平,传统的西班牙折扇,或称abanico,成为降温的必备工具,受到来自西班牙及其他地方的老幼、男女的喜爱。)”可知,欧洲天气炎热让折扇重新流行。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“In Europe, fans were initially imported as luxury goods. By the 1500s, they had become trendy accessories among the nobles. But it wasn’t until the 1800s that fans truly found their golden era in Western fashion and society.(在欧洲,扇子最初作为奢侈品被进口。到16世纪,它们已经成为贵族间时髦的配饰。但直到19世纪,扇子才在西方时尚与社会中真正迎来黄金时代。)”可知,本段讲述折扇的兴起。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“As the world stepped into the 20th century, everything began to change — including the production of folding hand fans.(当世界步入20世纪,一切都开始改变 —— 包括折扇的生产。)”以及第六段中的“Many traditional fanmakers couldn’t compete with factories, and most of them were forced out of the trade.(许多传统制扇工匠无法和工厂竞争,他们中的大多数被迫退出这个行业。)”可知,20世纪大部分传统制扇工匠丢掉了这份工作。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“On the fashion front, fan use declined as women’s clothing became more and more practical. The shift to simpler styles meant accessories like fans were seen as outdated.(在时尚方面,随着女装变得越来越实用,扇子的使用减少了。向简约风格的转变意味着扇子这类配饰被视作过时的东西。)”可知,服装风格的改变最终导致折扇在时尚领域衰落。
D
Climate change is making El Niño stronger and more dangerous than ever before, scientists warn in a new study published in Science. They reveal that El Niño events have become nearly 40% stronger over the past four decades than they were in the preindustrial era.
“We don’t see a time in the past where El Ninos have been as strong as today,” one of the authors, Julia Cole, says in a statement. “Our findings tell us that the big El Niño events of the last 40 years are not normal in the context of the last thousand years.”
El Nino events occur every two to seven years as part of the Pacific Ocean’s El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) natural climate cycle. The ENSO cycle shifts between the warmer El Niño phase and the cooler La Niña phase, with neutral periods in between. Earth’s last El Nino ran from June 2023 to April 2024, delivering a huge amount of heat to our already warming world that made 2024 the hottest year on record.
The study comes as the world is in the grips of a historic “super” El Nino. While daily average sea surface temperatures rose to record highs, forecasters have become almost certain that the 2026 to 2027 El Niño will be an all-time record event.
“The question is not whether the current El Niño is going to happen, but how bad it is going to be, and how bad the impacts will be.” Cole writes. “Previous studies have shown that El Niño is a really big source of climate extremes which may lead to droughts, floods, wildfire and food insecurity.”
The researchers further stress the urgent need to slow down further global warming and note that no country has the resources to be fully protected from these impacts. “This is one more reason we need to move away from fossil fuels, the root cause of the problem,” Cole adds.
32. What did Julia Cole’s team find about El Nino events?
A. They became stronger when they lasted longer.
B. They grew more dangerous in the past 40 years.
C. They started happening shortly after the industrial era.
D. They only occurred every 2 to 7 years 1,000 years ago.
33. Which of the following best describes La Niña?
A. It brings the temperature down. B. It occurs less frequently than El Niños.
C. It is much more dangerous than El Ninos. D. It happens in the middle of the ENSO cycle.
34. How does Julia Cole feel about the current El Niño?
A. Unbothered. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
35. What is required to keep El Niño from worsening according to Julia Cole?
A. Punishing big polluters. B. More and more advanced technologies.
C. Relying less on fossil fuels. D. Commitment from wealthy countries.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了一项新研究表明气候变化使厄尔尼诺现象变强。厄尔尼诺属于太平洋气候循环,会引发各类极端灾害。研究者呼吁减缓全球变暖,减少化石燃料使用来遏制其恶化。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They reveal that El Niño events have become nearly 40% stronger over the past four decades than they were in the preindustrial era.(他们指出,过去四十年间,厄尔尼诺现象的强度比工业革命前时期强了近40%)”可知,朱莉娅·科尔的团队发现过去40年里,厄尔尼诺现象变得更加危险。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The ENSO cycle shifts between the warmer El Niño phase and the cooler La Niña phase, with neutral periods in between.(厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)周期在较暖的厄尔尼诺阶段和较冷的拉尼娜阶段之间交替,中间为中性阶段)”可知,拉尼娜现象会降低气温。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The question is not whether the current El Niño is going to happen, but how bad it is going to be, and how bad the impacts will be.(问题不在于当前的厄尔尼诺现象是否会发生,而在于它会有多严重,以及其带来的影响有多恶劣)”可知,朱莉娅·科尔对当前的厄尔尼诺现象感到担心。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““This is one more reason we need to move away from fossil fuels, the root cause of the problem,” Cole adds.(“这又是一个我们需要摆脱化石燃料的理由,而化石燃料正是问题的根源,”科尔补充道)”可知,根据朱莉娅·科尔的观点,要防止厄尔尼诺现象恶化需要减少对化石燃料的依赖。
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以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a fast-paced modern world, stress builds up quickly. It doesn’t just affect your mood, but also harms your health. Here are the things you can do right now — and the science behind why they work.
Take deep breaths. ____36____. Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory.
Hug it out — or hold a hand. ____37____. Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. In one study, couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t.
____38____. Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well.
Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. ____39____
Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. ____40____? Actually, any green space will do!
A. No parks nearby
B. Feeling very stressed
C. Touch matters for human beings
D. Deep breathing is a proven tool for clearer thinking
E. But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits
F. Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing
G. So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. E 39. G 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些缓解压力的方法以及这些方法背后的科学原理。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Take deep breaths. (做深呼吸)”以及下文“Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. (研究表明,深呼吸可以降低血压,减慢心率。它还能减少与一系列问题相关的压力荷尔蒙,包括睡眠不良和脑雾。)”可知,本段主要介绍的是深呼吸对压力的影响,且下文提到了对神经系统的影响,F选项“Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing (很少有事情能像深呼吸那样立即或强烈地影响神经系统)”点出深呼吸对神经系统的强效影响,“deep breathing”与上文标题及下文“deep breaths”直接呼应,为下文介绍深呼吸的具体益处做铺垫,逻辑连贯。故选F。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. (即使是一个快速的拥抱或温柔的触摸也能增加一种化学物质的释放,这种化学物质有助于减轻压力,促进亲密感。)”可知,本段主要说明的是触摸对缓解压力的作用,C选项“Touch matters for human beings (触摸对人类很重要)”是对本段核心内容的概括,点明“肢体触碰”是缓解压力的关键,起到统领段落的作用。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. (研究表明,自我触摸 —— 比如把手放在胸前、揉手臂或轻轻触摸脸部 —— 也同样有效。)”可知,下文提到了自我触摸, E选项“But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits (但我们不需要另一个人来获得类似的好处)”通过“but”转折,承接上文“与他人肢体触碰缓解压力”的内容,引出“自我触碰”这一替代方式,“similar benefits”对应下文“works equally well”,逻辑衔接自然。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. (进行5分钟的散步。这个简单的动作会给大脑中负责注意力、计划和决策的部分带来更多的血液流动和氧气。与此同时,它激活了我们大脑中的中性网络,这个网络与白日梦和创造性洞察力密切相关。)”可知,本段主要说明的是散步对缓解压力的作用,G选项“So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities (所以当你做这些活动时,短距离散步对减轻压力真的很有效)”通过“so”总结上文,“short walks”对应上文“5-minute walk”,“really effective to reduce your stress”点明散步的核心作用,呼应段落主题。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. (到户外去晒晒太阳,呼吸新鲜空气。只需在自然光下待几分钟,就能改善心率变异性并提升情绪。一项综述发现,在户外的最初两分钟内,情绪和心率变异性的改善最为显著。)”以及下文“Actually, any green space will do! (事实上,任何绿地都可以!)”可知,本段主要说明的是到户外享受阳光和新鲜空气对缓解压力的作用,且下文提到了任何绿地都可以,说明本句是在询问没有公园怎么办,A选项“No parks nearby (附近没有公园)”以设问形式提出读者可能的顾虑,下文则回应“任何绿地都可行”,解答顾虑,使建议更具实用性,衔接紧密。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自丹麦的Lars Ulrik Thom怀揣着对中国历史的热爱选择留在北京创办“北京卡片”店铺的故事。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:游览北京市中心的前门大街,可能会带你走进大栅栏地区杨梅竹斜街的一家小店,大栅栏是著名的古代商业区,如今是主要旅游景点。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词是a famous ancient commercial zone,用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【57题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:由丹麦人拉斯·乌尔里克·托姆创办的“北京卡片”出售带有历史元素的文化创意产品。element是可数名词,意为“元素”,此处指多种元素,故用所给名词的复数形式。故填elements。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为北京历史的展示空间,这家店已成为一个交流场所,将居民、游客与老北京的记忆联系起来。分析句子成分可知,动词connect与其逻辑主语a communication space之间存在主谓关系,故此处用所给动词的现在分词;connecting residents and tourists with the memory of old Beijing是现在分词短语作后置定语。故填connecting。
【59题详解】
考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:1996年托姆首次抵达北京时,他被眼前所见吸引。attract在句中作谓语,根据从句的谓语动词arrived可知,此句描述过去的事情,用一般过去时,又因为主语Thom与attract之间是被动关系,且空后有被动语态标志词by,此句谓语用一般现在时被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,故填was attracted。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:托姆起初选择从景点、博物馆等公共场所收集信息,并深入胡同,从当地人那里获取口述历史。choose to do sth“选择做某事”,此处用所给动词的不定式作动词chose的宾语。故填to collect。
【61题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:居民们从老照片中回忆日常生活,这帮助托姆理解历史变迁如何影响人们的日常生活。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个宾语从句,根据句意“理解历史是如何改变人们的日常生活的”可知,从句中缺少方式状语,此处用连接副词how“如何,怎样”。故填how。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:为了以一种新的形式向更多人介绍北京的历史,托姆与友人创办“北京卡片”,售卖根据老照片、老地图制作的明信片、日历和拼图。此处表示“一种新的形式”,为泛指,且new以辅音音素开头,故此处用不定冠词a。故填a。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:此外,他组织主题活动,分享基于北京历史和自身经历的老故事。in addition意为“此外”,为固定用法。且该空位于句首,需大写。故填In。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,他组织主题活动,分享基于北京历史和自身经历的老故事。形容词短语“based on…”意为“基于……”,为固定用法;此处based on Beijing’s history作后置定语,修饰old stories。故填based。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:目前,托姆及其团队正致力于撰写一本关于大栅栏历史的书,旨在向更多人讲述这一地区在不同时期的生命力。此处用所给形容词的副词currently作状语,修饰整个句子。且该空位于句首,需大写。故填Currently。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Arjun shut his bedroom door hard after his mother, Deepa, had just said no to the gaming tournament. “Your math mid-terms are next month,” she said. “You need to focus.”
“My grades are fine!” he shouted.
“They dropped ten points last week,” she replied quietly. “And I know you slept in class. Your teacher called.”
Arjun had no answer to that. He was still very angry. At seventeen, he felt he deserved trust, not control. However, his mother still treated him like a child who couldn’t make his own decisions.
For two days, they spoke only when necessary. Short answers. No eye contact. Deepa didn’t push. She went about her work — cooking, cleaning, running the small home-based tailor shop that paid their bills.
On the third evening, Arjun came home to find his mother sitting at her sewing machine. She wasn’t sewing. She was holding his math notebook — the one he had left open on the table.
“I wasn’t snooping (窥探),” she said. “I was cleaning.”
He grabbed it. “Then why are you looking?”
“Because the last three pages are full of mistakes.” She stood up. “Not because you are stupid, Arjun. Because you are tired. You stay up gaming until midnight. I hear you. Every night.”
Arjun opened his mouth to argue, but his mother raised a hand.
“I am not saying no because I don’t trust you,” she continued. “I am saying no because I see what you don’t see in yourself. You are running on empty. And if I let you run a marathon on an empty tank, you will crash. That is not control. That is a mother’s job.”
She turned back to her sewing machine. “Dinner is in the kitchen.”
Arjun stood there, holding his notebook. He wanted to be angry. But she hadn’t shouted. She hadn’t threatened. She had just… told the truth. He was tired. He had been making silly mistakes. He just hadn’t wanted to admit it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, Arjun woke up early — before his alarm.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next two weeks, Arjun kept his word.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next morning, Arjun woke up early — before his alarm. He went to the kitchen and poured two cups of tea. When his mother came out, he handed her one without a word. She looked surprised but took it. “I’ll cut down on gaming,” he said finally. “An hour a night. And I’ll fix my mistakes before you see them.” He paused, watching her face. “But maybe… one qualifier match. Just to see if I can qualify.” His mother was quiet for a long moment and said, “Okay.”
Over the next two weeks, Arjun kept his word. He finished his math homework before dinner, checked every problem twice, and played only one match each night. He made it to the final round, but then lost. However, his grades climbed back up. One evening, his mother looked up from her sewing. “You played well,” she said. “Still lost,” Arjun replied. She shook her head gently. “No. You learned to stop before you ran on empty. That’s winning.” And for the first time in weeks, they laughed together.
