Walking home from school, I am enjoying my day. Each day I stop to hear music coming from the ivy (常春藤). Sparrow (麻雀) song, a loud glorious sound. The ivy is pulsing below a leafless tree, decorating around the lower trunk like a celebration. Nervous flittings, in and out, pecking at the branches. This ivy is a home for them, harboring an entire flock. But this scene is no longer ubiquitous. Numbers have declined by almost 70% in the UK since 1970. Sparrows make their homes near human places and finding a tree like this is a blessing. Happily, the ivy is still full of chatter and twitter.
In Greek mythology, sparrows are sacred and often associated with the goddess Aphrodite, symbolizing true love and spiritual connection. I wonder how many people look at sparrows and feel that depth of connection. All birds live brightly in our imagination, connecting us to the natural world, opening up all kinds of creativity.
As I stand there, fluffed-up sparrows in conversation among themselves, there is a spark. Noticing nature is the start of it all. Slow down to listen, to watch. Take the time, despite mountains of homework.
Take the time to observe nature, to immerse oneself in its patterns, structures, happenings and rhythms. It is how mathematicians and scientists are nurtured. Alan Turing studied the patterns in nature: the arrangement of petals on the flower, spots on a leopard and stripes on a zebra. He was looking for a mathematical formula (公式) for the development of cells in living things. Nature sparks creativity. All we have to do is start with the question, Why The way my mind whirrs and whirls in nature, or even when “daydreaming” is way more productive than the work I do in school.
I consolidate myself by thinking and thinking while intensely watching the movements of sparrows. Who knows where watching sparrows will lead
4.What do I do on the way home from school
A.Listen to pop music. B.Decorate the tree.
C.Clean up the trunk. D.Observe the sparrows.
5.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Unusual. B.Delightful. C.Common. D.Horrible.
6.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Greek mythology
A.To show the imagination of humans. B.To stress the significance of sparrows.
C.To introduce the power of Aphrodite. D.To demonstrate the diversity of species.
7.What can we learn from paragraph 4 of the text
A.Nature facilitates cell development. B.Nature follows rigid patterns.
C.Nature is a source of inspiration. D.Nature offers companionship.

Every year during Halloween, it’s likely homes around the neighborhood will put up some spider webs as their spooky (恐怖的) decorations. But people were asked to stop using fake spider webs last year because they pose a huge danger to natural wildlife.
The fake webbing is considered a danger to birds, bats and other small animals as they are often attracted to the decoration and get caught, resulting in injuries or sometimes even death. What’s more, when blown around by the wind, fake Halloween spider webs often end up in public spaces like parks and beaches, attracting wildlife. Since they are not biodegradable (可生物降解的), they can linger for months or even years, posing a continuous threat to the environment and animals.
Last year, government authorities actively used social media to warn about the dangers posed by popular Halloween decorations. One post advised: “Please avoid using fake spider webs when decorating your home. They can be very harmful to wildlife, especially birds, which often mistake spider silk for building their nests and cannot distinguish between real and synthetic webbing. This can lead to birds and their young becoming entangled, along with bats, insects and other wildlife.”
The Paws & Recover Facebook group posted a reminder about the dangers of synthetic webbing, generating over 700 comments from people expressing how much they loathe the decoration due to the great harm it causes to precious wildlife.
Wildlife experts have urged people to use larger, safer decorations that don’t endanger passionate individuals have also shared advice online. “Here I am, ready to spoil your Halloween decorating fun! PLEASE DO NOT USE FAKE SPIDER WEBS OUTSIDE,” a woman cautioned, sharing her photos. Another suggested, “If you’re looking for decorating ideas, consider reusing or repurposing items you already own.”
8.What is the problem with fake spider webs
A.They are not visually appealing. B.They break down easily.
C.They pose a risk to wildlife. D.They are difficult to clean up.
9.Why did local officials share posts on social media
A.To raise people’s awareness of fake webbing issues.
B.To warn people about the danger of Halloween decorations.
C.To respond to people’s concerns on environment.
D.To promote bird protection practices.
10.What does the underlined word “loathe” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A.Ignore. B.Choose. C.Hate. D.Frighten.
11.Which of the following is the most suitable title for this text
A.Abandon dangerous Halloween decorations.
B.Restore the losing wildlife habitats.
C.Celebrate Halloween responsibly.
D.Stop using fake spider webs for Halloween.

Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.
“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”
At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive (侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”
To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist that they change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.
A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.
To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it ” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.
12.What is the function of the first paragraph
A.Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk. B.Stressing the importance of boundaries.
C.Shaping the image of an Oversharer. D.Presenting different opinions about sharing.
13.Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues
A.They want sympathy from others. B.They long for closer connections with others.
C.They are curious about others’ sufferings. D.They see it as a way to break the ice.
14.What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line
A.Declaring your boundaries. B.Demanding an apology.
C.Ignore their comments. D.Criticizing their rudeness.
15.What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph
A.To check her friend’s boundary. B.To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.
C.To learn from her friend’s experience. D.To show admiration for her friend.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者放学回家路上观察麻雀的经历。
4.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each day I stop to hear music coming from the ivy (常春藤). Sparrow (麻雀) song, a loud glorious sound. The ivy is pulsing below a leafless tree, decorating around the lower trunk like a celebration. Nervous flittings, in and out, pecking at the branches.( 每天我停下来听常春藤传来的音乐。麻雀的歌声,响亮而光荣。常青藤在一棵光秃秃的树下跳动,装饰着树干的下部,像是在庆祝。紧张地飞进飞出,啄着树枝。)”可知,作者在放学回家的路上会观察麻雀。故选D项。
5.词义猜测题。根据第一段中“This ivy is a home for them, harboring an entire flock.(这棵常青藤是它们的家,栖息着一整群企鹅。)”以及“Numbers have declined by almost 70% in the UK since 1970. Sparrows make their homes near human places and finding a tree like this is a blessing.(自1970年以来,英国的这一数字下降了近70%。麻雀在人类居住的地方附近安家,找到这样的树是一种幸福。)”由此可知,此处为这种场景已不再随处可见。故可猜测划线单词ubiquitous为“随处可见的”的意思,和C选项Common“常见的”意思一致。故选C项。
6.推理判断题。根据第二段“In Greek mythology, sparrows are sacred and often associated with the goddess Aphrodite, symbolizing true love and spiritual connection. I wonder how many people look at sparrows and feel that depth of connection. All birds live brightly in our imagination, connecting us to the natural world, opening up all kinds of creativity.(在希腊神话中,麻雀是神圣的,经常与女神阿芙罗狄蒂联系在一起,象征着真爱和精神联系。我想知道有多少人看着麻雀,能感受到那种深度的联系。所有的鸟儿都明亮地生活在我们的想象中,将我们与自然世界联系起来,开启了各种各样的创造力。)”可推知,作者提到希腊神话的目的是强调麻雀的重要性。故选B项。
7.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Take the time to observe nature, to immerse oneself in its patterns, structures, happenings and rhythms. It is how mathematicians and scientists are nurtured. Alan Turing studied the patterns in nature: the arrangement of petals on the flower, spots on a leopard and stripes on a zebra. He was looking for a mathematical formula (公式) for the development of cells in living things. Nature sparks creativity.(花点时间观察大自然,让自己沉浸在它的模式、结构、事件和节奏中。数学家和科学家就是这样被培养出来的。艾伦·图灵研究了自然界的模式:花朵上花瓣的排列,豹子身上的斑点,斑马身上的条纹。他在寻找生物体内细胞发育的数学公式。大自然激发创造力。)”可推知,我们能从第四段中了解到自然是灵感的源泉。故选C项。

8.细节理解题。根据第一段中“But people were asked to stop using fake spider webs last year because they pose a huge danger to natural wildlife.(但去年人们被要求停止使用假蜘蛛网,因为它们对自然野生动物构成巨大危险)”可知,假蜘蛛网的问题是假蜘蛛网对野生动物构成威胁。故选C。

11.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“But people were asked to stop using fake spider webs last year because they pose a huge danger to natural wildlife.(但去年人们被要求停止使用假蜘蛛网,因为它们对自然野生动物构成巨大危险)”以及最后一段“Wildlife experts have urged people to use larger, safer decorations that don’t endanger animals.(野生动物专家敦促人们使用更大、更安全的装饰品,以免危及动物)”可知,本文主要讲述了停止使用万圣节假蜘蛛网装饰的原因,因为这些装饰对野生动物构成威胁,并建议人们使用更大、更安全的装饰。因此“停止在万圣节使用假蜘蛛网”最符合文章标题。故选D。

Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.
“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”
At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive (侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”
To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist that they change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.
A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.

How’d you do it ” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.
12.What is the function of the first paragraph
A.Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk. B.Stressing the importance of boundaries.
C.Shaping the image of an Oversharer. D.Presenting different opinions about sharing.
13.Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues
A.They want sympathy from others. B.They long for closer connections with others.
C.They are curious about others’ sufferings. D.They see it as a way to break the ice.
14.What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line
A.Declaring your boundaries. B.Demanding an apology.
C.Ignore their comments. D.Criticizing their rudeness.
15.What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph
A.To check her friend’s boundary. B.To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.
C.To learn from her friend’s experience. D.To show admiration for her friend.
【答案】12.C 13.B 14.A 15.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“过度分享者”这一现象进行讨论,分析了过度分享者的特点、行为背后的动机,以及面对过度分享者时我们应该如何应对。
12.推理判断题。根据第一段“Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries. (对别人婚姻的不请自来的意见,他们不断的失败,或者浴室里发生的任何事情,都是你手上有一个过度分享者的迹象。不管他们是说得太多,还是问你一些你不太愿意分享的细节,这种太常见的角色是没有界限的)”可知,第一段描述了过度分享者的行为特点,如未经邀请就发表关于某人的婚姻、他们的持续失败或浴室里刚发生的任何事情的意见,这些都是你遇到了一个过度分享者的线索。因此,该段的主要功能是塑造一个过度分享者的形象,让读者对这种人有一个清晰的认识。故选C。
13.细节理解题。根据第三段“At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. (在尴尬的同时,过度分享者只是想通过更多地透露自己来接近你,并希望你也这样做)”和“but they really just want to be liked and accepted. (但他们真的只是想被喜欢和接受)”可知,过度分享者通过透露更多关于自己的事情来试图与你拉近距离,并希望你也能这样做。因此,他们之所以对谈论私人问题感兴趣,是因为他们渴望与他人建立更紧密的联系。故选B。
14.细节理解题。根据第四段“When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. (当他们真的越界了,不要害羞。说一些表明你的界限被越过了的话。)”可知,当过度分享者越过了你的界限时,建议的做法是声明你的界限。故选A。
15.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A compliment also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary. (赞美对“过度分享者”也有很好的效果,Gerber补充说,因为它可以将谈话的焦点重新集中在他们的方向上,同时巧妙地重置你的界限)”以及最后一段“To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it ” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. (例如,当我的好管闲事的朋友问我打算什么时候要孩子时,下次我会给出这样明智的回答:“你让生孩子看起来很容易!你是怎么做到的?”然后点头微笑,点头微笑。)”可知,作者对她的爱打听的朋友关于她何时计划生孩子的问题,通过回答“你让孩子们看起来如此容易!你是怎么做到的?”赞美朋友来回应,从而将焦点从自己转移到她的朋友身上。故选B。
