一、完形填空
（2025·金山模拟）Several years ago, my parents bought some comic books to entertain my elder brother. He wasn't interested, but I thought they were awesome. These comics had all the things I liked best— good stories, clever drawing and comedy. I immediately started drawing my own comics and I've never really stopped. Now I have got a blog where I upload my works. I have developed a group of 1． and made up situations for them.
Drawing comics takes a lot of time, and I'm still in school. There's a lot of schoolwork and it keeps me busy. Sometimes I get time to draw during my breaks, but 2． I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and concentrate. That's when I get the most done. Fans sometimes 3． me on my blog and it's a good feeling to write back to them.
Last year, I went to a national youth comic festival, which was great for 4． in detail how other teenagers make their comics. Most other teenagers I met use computers to draw. Although I know how to do that and it can help me save time, I honestly prefer to draw 5． . That's how I began to draw.
Recently, due to the success of my blog, articles about me have appeared in newspapers and magazines. I'm usually by myself, drawing, so I'm not used to all the attention and never will be! I was rather embarrassed when one reporter called me the coolest teenager. Me My friend would laugh at that! However, one 6． thing about the publicity is that some of my comic-writing heroes have written to congratulate me on my success.

（2025·黄浦模拟）Can robots take the place of artists Some people think machines can compete with artists. Yet, many believe that true art can only come from human hands. So, can robots take the place of artists
Yes-Robots are the artists of the future Creating a robot is, in some ways, an art form. The human engineer must think creatively about what the robot will do and then bring that idea to life.

（2025·崇明模拟）Do you love getting lost in the pages of a good book Whether you're a bookworm or an occasional reader, reading is a great way to 19． your worries, feel calm and make sense of the world.
Why is reading good for me
Reading is like having a superpower that takes you to a different world, where you experience new feelings and ideas and know other people's thoughts. Getting lost in a story is a great way to 20． stress and worry, understand other people's feelings and has been shown to relieve pain.
Can books improve my wellbeing (feeling of being comfortable and happy)

It can make us feel less anxious and show us that we aren't 21． ." As well as helping you understand your feelings, stories improve your empathy (共鸣) skills by showing you the world through someone else's eyes. Non-fiction books can be great for getting inspired and finding information and advice about feelings that may be 22． to talk about, like anger or sadness. All books introduce you to new words and ideas, which help you explain your 23． more easily.

（2025·杨浦模拟）Having a good memory is key to learning effectively. But if you've ever found it hard to remember information even after reading your notes repeatedly, perhaps you're not studying in the best way.
While there are many 25． that can help you remember things better, the most effective ones involve making meaningful connections between pieces of information. This idea is called the Baker/baker paradox, and it was 26． in an experiment.
In the experiment, researchers divided people into two groups and showed them a photo of a man's face. One group was told the man's name was Baker, while the other was told the man worked as a baker. A few days later, the researchers asked both groups about the man's identity.
The results were 27． . People remembered the man's job more easily than his name, even though both words were the same. Why did this happen After all, the word "baker" was the same for both people.
Here's the 28． : when you hear that someone works as a baker, your mind connects this fact to a network of meaningful ideas. You might picture someone baking bread, wearing a tall white hat, or smelling of freshly baked goods. These connections create a story in your brain, making the information easier to recall.
29． , the name "Baker" doesn't form the same kind of meaningful connections. It's only linked to the man's face, which is a weak connection. If you forget the face, you may also forget the name 30． .
The Baker/baker paradox shows that memory works best when new information is tied to meaningful stories or images. So, if you want to remember something better, try linking it to a story or something familiar. This simple trick can make all the difference.

26．A．denied B．mentioned C．proved D．organized

C．In fact D．On the other hand

（2025·青浦模拟）Teachers dedicate a huge amount of time and energy to their students. In addition to the hard work of creating lesson plans and managing a classroom, they do so much more.

Seven hundred years before the Wright brothers began working on human flight, the Chinese had already mastered the skills—with kites.
Kites may have been invented in China as early as 500 B.C. While some kites were flown for amusement, other kites played a key role for 37． . Chinese fishermen used kites to carry their lines far out to sea. Sailors used them to measure the wind. Kites also were flown in ancient times to create a link between earth and sky.
It was natural for ancient Chinese leaders to look to kites as a way to protect their kingdom. General Huan Teng flew kites during a night battle. When the kites flew overhead, the noise they made 38． the enemy and drove them away.
The greatest Chinese kites were the man-carriers. They were built from 39． bamboo poles tied tightly together and then covered with silk, so they could support a man's weight. The kites were much larger than a small airplane. A pilot was fastened to the kite and 40． it by grasping the bamboo poles. In times of peace, man-carrying kites put on air shows. Their flights attracted huge crowds.
In the late 1200s, Italian explorer Marco Polo witnessed one of these shows. What he saw made him feel 41． , and he wrote a detailed description of it. When he returned to Italy, most people refused to believe him. They could not imagine that a person could fly.
Centuries passed before Europeans learned the 42． of flight—often by flying kites made in China. One hundred years later, American inventors, including the Wright brothers, found inspiration (灵感) for their flight experiments by flying kites first.

You would see mountains and valleys if you looked at the Moon through a telescope (望远镜). If you looked at the planet Jupiter, you would see its moons. Galileo was the first person to see these things through a telescope.
Galileo did not 43． the telescope. It was first made by a Dutch lensmaker (镜片制造人). But Galileo improved the design so he was 44． to study the stars and planets closely. Some people call him the first astronomer (天文学家).
As he studied the sky, Galileo found proof that the planets orbit (沿轨道运行) around the Sun. He was not the first person to believe this, but he was the first to prove that it was true. People of that time believed that Earth was the centre of the universe and 45． in space moved around Earth. Galileo got into trouble with the government and the church for saying that what they believed was wrong. He had to 46． what he said or else he would have gone to jail.
Galileo was more than an astronomer. He was an inventor as well. He invented the first thermometer (温度计). His thermometer did not measure exact temperatures, 47． it did show if a temperature was higher or lower or the same as another temperature. He invented a compass that was used for aiming cannonballs (炮弹) shot out of a cannon. Later the compass was used to survey land. He invented a device that used a horse and buckets to raise water. This was used for irrigation (灌溉).
Galileo thought about the world in a new way. Before Galileo, people did not run experiments or 48． their ideas. It was enough just to think about ideas. Galileo wanted to try out his ideas and see if they worked in the world. Galileo was one of the first real scientists.

（2025·普陀模拟）What is an earworm
Sometimes, when you're doing something boring like walking to school or washing dishes, a familiar song pops into your head. But there's no music playing around you—it's just in your mind, and it won't leave! This happens to everyone and is known scientifically as INMI, or "involuntary musical imagery." It is also called an earworm. It means a song or melody that keeps 49． in one's mind. Most people experience it at least once a week.
Why do earworms happen
Either easy or hard tasks can make a song get stuck in your head. This happens when you're not really paying attention to what you're doing. Maybe you're bored because the task is too easy, or maybe you're feeling too much stress because it's too hard. There are only a few tasks with just the right amount of 50． to keep you focused. If you're not doing one of those tasks, your mind might start to wander (走神) and think about other things, like Harry Potter or tea and biscuits. Then 51． , you have a song like Bad Romance by Lady Gaga playing over and over in your head.
What kinds of songs become earworms
What do all these earworms have in common They often have a fast beat and easy to sing. Besides, a song will be more likely to become an earworm if it is recently 52． . That's because after that you can always hear it on the radio, in stores, or from other people's cars as they drive by.
How do we 53． earworms
One is to listen to the whole song. If you can play music, you could try playing the song yourself. You can also focus on something else, like spending time with friends or doing a puzzle. Listening to a different song can help, too. A strange but effective 54． is chewing gum (口香糖). But remember, don't try too hard to forget the song. Thinking about it a lot will just keep it fresh in your mind!
49．A．changing B．repeating C．mixing D．speeding
50．A．challenge B．confidence C．information D．care
51．A．generally B．actually C．suddenly D．luckily

（2024·浦东模拟）Do teenagers know how to sleep If you're the parent of teens, you might be laughing to yourself. That's all they know how to do. In 55． , teens might not know enough about how to sleep, when to sleep and why. As far as I'm concerned, one important element (因素) is missing sleep education.
Just as we focus on our diets and exercise for health, we need to consider sleep 56． to our mental, physical and psychological health. "Good" sleep is sleep that is long enough to allow your brain to remove the side effects (副作用) of daytime brain activity. Consistent (固定的) bed times and wake up times are the key to keeping our sleep cycles. When they are 57． , our sleep is affected.
Teens are social creatures, and the most attractive social "gathering" place these days is on their digital devices. Being exposed (暴露) to blue light from our screens 58． sleep. Ideally, we should avoid blue light for at least half an hour before bed. But social media and homework that requires screen time mean too many kids are powering up their devices when their bodies should be powering down for the night. Going to bed too late is only one part of sleep problems. 59． contributing to (导致) sleep issues are eating too late, taking naps, and tailing to get enough exercise. In other words, these people never learned how to sleep.
Over time, poor sleep 60． to decline in mood. It also contributes to a lot of medical issues, from being fat to heart disease. Significantly, when I speak to my adult patients who are struggling with sleep issues, nearly all of them say their sleep problems started in high school.
Therefore, I suggest sleep education. Otherwise, we won't necessarily solve the health, safety and economic issues of sleepy teens.

（2024·上海市模拟）Would you like to be comfortable talking to other people Holding conversations may help.
Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. 61． , everyone talks to other people frequently. But talking to new people makes many people nervous.
Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less embarrassing.
Body language
As strange as it may seem, plenty of 62． may happen without any words.
The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you're confident. And if you're nervous, acting like you're confident can help you feel more confident. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.
Back and forth
A good conversation is not a 63． , which means that both people need to participate. If you're doing all the talking, pause to give the other person time to speak. If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.
Questions can also help if you're struggling (挣扎) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they'll talk for a while. Maybe they'll say something relate with and can reply to. People are generally 64． to find others with similar interests.
When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or "no". Open-ended questions in English tend to start with who, what, when, where and why.
Don't fear 65．
Don't panic if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also comment on something you've done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.
So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation. As with any skill, you will be 66． at holding conversations with time.
61．A．Above all B．In brief C．After all D．Even though
62．A．emotion B．communications C．information D．situation
63．A．dialogue B．game C．discussion D．speech
64．A．difficult B．faithful C．excited D．honest
65．A．conclusions B．questions C．conversations D．silence
66．A．increase B．improve C．better D．rise

Should parents choose your clothes
Lots of parents choose their children's clothes, or at least have a say in what they wear. As children get older, they tend to develop stronger opinions of how they want to dress. It's common for children and teens to have different opinions with their parents over clothes. Some young people don't 88． how they dress, others want to express their style, follow trends (n. 潮流) or dress like friends or famous people they like.
What do you think Should parents choose your clothes
Yes — Advice is helpful.
Parents can help you choose the right clothes because they have more 89． . It's part of their job — like making sure you eat a healthy diet. As they are usually paying, it makes sense that parents have a say. If parents didn't help children choose clothes, they might wear things that aren't wise, like flip-flops (人字拖) in the rain. 90． , at some special events, it can be necessary to dress in a certain way to show respect. Young people can feel pressure to dress in clothes that are too grown-up. Choosing clothes can be a two-way 91． : children say what they prefer but parents have the final say. It's not just about what you wear, but how you wear it.
No — It's an individual decision.
You should decide because you're the one wearing the clothes. Parents don't always understand what children like or know what is trendy. What's more, choosing for yourself is an important step towards becoming 92． and can build self-confidence.
Selecting clothes can be fun and creative, and allows you to express yourself and develop an individual style. For some people, clothing is a way of showing you 93． a certain group. Plus, if children select their own clothes, they are more likely to wear them, which means fewer arguments and less wasted money.

You might picture someone baking bread, wearing a tall white hat, or smelling of freshly baked goods. These connections create a story in your brain, making the information easier to recall.

Kites may have been invented in China as early as 500 B.C. While some kites were flown for amusement, other kites played a key role for 37． . Chinese fishermen used kites to carry their lines far out to sea. Sailors used them to measure the wind. Kites also were flown in ancient times to create a link between earth and sky.
It was natural for ancient Chinese leaders to look to kites as a way to protect their kingdom. General Huan Teng flew kites during a night battle. When the kites flew overhead, the noise they made 38． the enemy and drove them away.
The greatest Chinese kites were the man-carriers. They were built from 39． bamboo poles tied tightly together and then covered with silk, so they could support a man's weight. The kites were much larger than a small airplane. A pilot was fastened to the kite and 40． it by grasping the bamboo poles. In times of peace, man-carrying kites put on air shows. Their flights attracted huge crowds.
In the late 1200s, Italian explorer Marco Polo witnessed one of these shows. What he saw made him feel 41． , and he wrote a detailed description of it. When he returned to Italy, most people refused to believe him. They could not imagine that a person could fly.
Centuries passed before Europeans learned the 42． of flight—often by flying kites made in China. One hundred years later, American inventors, including the Wright brothers, found inspiration (灵感) for their flight experiments by flying kites first.

You would see mountains and valleys if you looked at the Moon through a telescope (望远镜). If you looked at the planet Jupiter, you would see its moons. Galileo was the first person to see these things through a telescope.
Galileo did not 43． the telescope. It was first made by a Dutch lensmaker (镜片制造人). But Galileo improved the design so he was 44． to study the stars and planets closely. Some people call him the first astronomer (天文学家).
As he studied the sky, Galileo found proof that the planets orbit (沿轨道运行) around the Sun. He was not the first person to believe this, but he was the first to prove that it was true. People of that time believed that Earth was the centre of the universe and 45． in space moved around Earth. Galileo got into trouble with the government and the church for saying that what they believed was wrong. He had to 46． what he said or else he would have gone to jail.
Galileo was more than an astronomer. He was an inventor as well. He invented the first thermometer (温度计). His thermometer did not measure exact temperatures, 47． it did show if a temperature was higher or lower or the same as another temperature. He invented a compass that was used for aiming cannonballs (炮弹) shot out of a cannon. Later the compass was used to survey land. He invented a device that used a horse and buckets to raise water. This was used for irrigation (灌溉).
Galileo thought about the world in a new way. Before Galileo, people did not run experiments or 48． their ideas. It was enough just to think about ideas. Galileo wanted to try out his ideas and see if they worked in the world. Galileo was one of the first real scientists.

Sometimes, when you're doing something boring like walking to school or washing dishes, a familiar song pops into your head. But there's no music playing around you—it's just in your mind, and it won't leave! This happens to everyone and is known scientifically as INMI, or "involuntary musical imagery." It is also called an earworm. It means a song or melody that keeps 49． in one's mind. Most people experience it at least once a week.

Then 51． , you have a song like Bad Romance by Lady Gaga playing over and over in your head.
What kinds of songs become earworms
What do all these earworms have in common They often have a fast beat and easy to sing. Besides, a song will be more likely to become an earworm if it is recently 52． . That's because after that you can always hear it on the radio, in stores, or from other people's cars as they drive by.
How do we 53． earworms
One is to listen to the whole song. If you can play music, you could try playing the song yourself. You can also focus on something else, like spending time with friends or doing a puzzle.

Thinking about it a lot will just keep it fresh in your mind!

（2024·浦东模拟）Do teenagers know how to sleep If you're the parent of teens, you might be laughing to yourself. That's all they know how to do. In 55． , teens might not know enough about how to sleep, when to sleep and why. As far as I'm concerned, one important element (因素) is missing sleep education.
Just as we focus on our diets and exercise for health, we need to consider sleep 56． to our mental, physical and psychological health. "Good" sleep is sleep that is long enough to allow your brain to remove the side effects (副作用) of daytime brain activity. Consistent (固定的) bed times and wake up times are the key to keeping our sleep cycles. When they are 57． , our sleep is affected.
Teens are social creatures, and the most attractive social "gathering" place these days is on their digital devices. Being exposed (暴露) to blue light from our screens 58． sleep. Ideally, we should avoid blue light for at least half an hour before bed. But social media and homework that requires screen time mean too many kids are powering up their devices when their bodies should be powering down for the night. Going to bed too late is only one part of sleep problems. 59． contributing to (导致) sleep issues are eating too late, taking naps, and tailing to get enough exercise. In other words, these people never learned how to sleep.
Over time, poor sleep 60． to decline in mood. It also contributes to a lot of medical issues, from being fat to heart disease. Significantly, when I speak to my adult patients who are struggling with sleep issues, nearly all of them say their sleep problems started in high school.
Therefore, I suggest sleep education. Otherwise, we won't necessarily solve the health, safety and economic issues of sleepy teens.

（2024·上海市模拟）Would you like to be comfortable talking to other people Holding conversations may help.
Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. 61． , everyone talks to other people frequently. But talking to new people makes many people nervous.
Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less embarrassing.
Body language
As strange as it may seem, plenty of 62． may happen without any words.
The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you're confident. And if you're nervous, acting like you're confident can help you feel more confident. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.
Back and forth
A good conversation is not a 63． , which means that both people need to participate. If you're doing all the talking, pause to give the other person time to speak. If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.
Questions can also help if you're struggling (挣扎) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they'll talk for a while. Maybe they'll say something relate with and can reply to. People are generally 64． to find others with similar interests.
When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or "no". Open-ended questions in English tend to start with who, what, when, where and why.
Don't fear 65．
Don't panic if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also comment on something you've done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.
So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation. As with any skill, you will be 66． at holding conversations with time.

88．有些年轻人不关心他们穿什么，而另一些人则想表达他们的风格，追随潮流，或者像他们喜欢的朋友或名人那样穿着。A：research 研究B：require 要求C：care 关心D：know 知道，根据It's common for children and teens to have different opinions，这里需要与后文others want to express their style形成对比，表示的是年轻人对自己穿着的不关心，所以选择care表示"不关心"最为合适。故选C。
89．父母可以帮助你选择适合的衣服，因为他们有更多的经验。A：progress 进步B：wealth 财富C：health 健康D：experience 经验，此句强调父母在选择衣服上的优势，即他们拥有更多的经验，能够给出更合适的建议。因此，选择experience经验最为贴切。其他选项与句意不符，故选D。
90．此外，在一些特殊场合，有必要以某种方式着装以表示尊重。A：Therefore 因此B：Instead 相反C：Besides 此外D：However 然而，此句与前一句是并列关系，都在列举父母帮助孩子选择衣服的原因，所以使用Besides表示"此外"最为恰当。故选C。
91．选择衣服可以是一个双向的努力：孩子说出他们的喜好，但父母有最终决定权。根据children say what they prefer but parents have the final say，此句描述的是选择衣服过程中的互动，即孩子和父母都需要付出努力来达成一致。因此，effort努力最为符合句意。故选B。
92．为自己选择是成为独立的重要一步，并可以建立自信。A：independent 独立的B：successful 成功的C：interested 感兴趣的D：different 不同的，此句强调选择自己衣服的重要性，认为这是成为独立个体的一个重要步骤。因此，independent独立最为符合句意。故选A。
93．对一些人来说，服装是表明你属于某个群体的方式。A：focus on 专注于B：depend on 依赖C：agree with 同意D：belong to 属于，根据空格后a certain group。此句描述的是服装的社交功能，即表明个体所属的群体。因此，belong to最为符合句意。故选D。

这篇文章主要介绍了烟跳员（Smokejumpers）这一特殊类型的消防员的工作内容和他们所面临的挑战。烟跳员是专门负责在难以通过常规方式（如汽车或步行）到达的火灾现场进行灭火工作的消防员。他们常常需要乘坐飞机或直升机到达火灾地点，并在极其困难和危险的环境下进行工作。烟跳员不仅需要具备出色的身体素质和应对危险情况的能力，还需要能够长时间在孤立的环境中生活和工作。到达现场后，他们会使用各种特殊设备和方法来扑灭火灾，如使用水、泡沫或化学物质，挖掘土壤和植被来形成防火屏障，甚至在某些情况下使用炸药制造隔离带来阻止火势蔓延。虽然烟跳员的工作非常危险，但他们为保护森林和社区而冒着生命危险，因此他们的勇敢和奉献精神值得我们所有人的感激和尊敬。
