The Self-Portrait Challenge
Have you ever done a self-portrait in an art lesson at school？Today，we’re challenging you to write self-portrait poems.It’s not uncommon to feel like the way people see you on the outside doesn’t quite match up with how you feel on the inside.So creating a self-portrait can be a good opportunity to address those differences and present the realest，truest version of yourself.
Your challenge is to create a self-portrait in lines，using words instead of paint.Read on for some more inspiration.
Writing Tips
·Have a go at writing a list of metaphors exploring your physical appearance，starting from your head and working your way down towards your feet.
·Instead of representing yourself directly，take on another character，such as a fictional character，a historical figure，or even a different version of yourself.
·Play around with personification，by taking on the voice of a physical object in your poem.Think about what a self-portrait from the point of view of a mirror，or a bowl of your favourite food would look like

As an ordinary man，I have a special habit to confess.Whenever I walk down the street，I offer to pour a bottle of water from the nearby river into the dirt of a street tree.It’s just my personal habit，and I think it doesn’t make a difference，but I’d like to do it.I mention this in light of a campaign launched by the Arboricultural Association to call on the public to water new street trees.
The UK government has committed to planting millions of trees to help meet climate targets and aims to increase tree cover from 14.5% to 16.5% by 2050.However，as John Parker，chief executive of the Arboricultural Association，says，“Planting a tree is just the start of the story.The health and survival of new urban trees is threatened by increasingly dry weather.It is recommended that the newly planted trees be given about 50 litres of water per week for the first three years.” While in rural settings，the newly planted trees and woods can take care of themselves and adapt，the challenging conditions mean trees in the urban areas need a bit more care.
Long ago，I assumed that the good of street trees was to soften the hard edges of urban environments.But，what an underestimation of tree power that was! A study from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities illustrates they can provide inspiration or a calming atmosphere in an otherwise crowded city.Trees are responsible for easing urban heat island effects and air and pollutant filtration.And I think they provide the habitat for wildlife，especially birds.
Trees can’t run away.Unfortunately for them and fortunately for urban residents，city trees are stuck with us.If we want to continue enjoying all the good they do，we should try to understand their needs and do all that we can to support them.A bottle of water won’t do much，but next time you all together have a bucket of water to pour，you know what big effect will happen.
24．What does the author think of his personal habit
A．It is of little effect.
B．It is enforced.
C．It is of much significance.
D．It is common.
25．What does John Parker say about urban trees
A．They have started to be watered regularly.
B．More work needs to be done for their living.
C．They are threatened by the increasing flood.
D．The newly planted ones can’t look after themselves.
26．What can we learn about street trees from paragraph 3
A．Their usage is overrated.
B．Their value is thought highly of by the public.
C．They benefit residents physically and mentally.
D．They can thoroughly solve environmental problems.
27．What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A．When in need，ask for it.
B．Tall trees catch much wind.
C．Misfortunes seldom come alone.
D．Many hands make light work.

New research suggests that night owls may be more likely to develop heart disease or diabetes than early birds.People who get up early in the morning seem to burn more fat as an energy source and are often more active than those who stay up late.
According to a study in the journal Experimental Physiology by Rutgers University researchers，early risers use more fat during both rest and exercise，regardless of their aerobic fitness，compared to night owls.The former are also more active throughout the day，using more fat，while their late-night counterparts tend to store more.
While the two groups had similar body compositions，the early risers were more sensitive to insulin(胰岛素) blood levels and burned more fat during exercise and rest.The study found that night owls used carbohydrates for energy instead of burning fat for fuel.
Dr.Steven Malin，the study’s lead researcher，mentioned that his team had not decoded why these two groups had different metabolisms(新陈代谢)．It could be due to a “mismatch” between their bedtime and natural circadian rhythms(昼夜节律)．
Night owls are reported to have a higher rate of obesity，Type 2 diabetes，and cardiovascular disease compared to early birds.This could be because they become misaligned(偏离) with their circadian rhythm，especially among adults who work and may have to wake up early，disrupting their natural body clock.This chronic misalignment is often referred to as “social jet lag”．
In addition to health risks，the article pointed out that night owls are more likely to engage in risky behaviors and consume more tobacco，alcohol，and caffeine.They also tend to skip breakfast and consume more food later in the day.
This research adds to the understanding that being a late sleeper has been associated with a higher risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.While some night owls may outperform early birds on certain cognitive tasks，the study highlights the potential health consequences of staying up late.It suggests that morning people may have better metabolic health，even if night owls are more alert during late hours.
28．What can we learn from the new study
A．Night owls are less likely to develop diseases.
B．Early risers tend to store more fat than night owls.
C．Night owls are more sensitive to insulin blood levels.
D．Early risers are more active and burn more fat than night owls.
29．What does the underlined word “decoded” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Accepted.
B．Understood.
C．Ignored.
D．Simplified.
30．How does the author organize paragraph 5
A．By making comparisons.
B．By providing an example.
C．By analyzing cause and effect.
D．By giving a definition.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．The Impact of Sleep Patterns on Health
B．The Risky Behaviors of a Night Owl
C．The Significance of Adequate Sleep
D．The Health Benefits of Being an Early Bird

In recent years，aggression on social media has become commonplace.More than half of the victims said they didn’t know the identity of the perpetrator(作恶者)．Most people agreed that the anonymity(匿名) of the Internet provides cover for nasty and harassing(骚扰) behavior.
Does this growing aggression on social media give us a glimpse of our real human nature Are we—at our core—aggressive beasts It’s true that hate crimes are on the rise，and political divisions appear to be growing.The level of public bitterness—especially online—is substantial.But I don’t believe that is because social media has unlocked our cruel human nature.
As an evolutionary anthropologist，I have spent years researching our transformation as a species.Over the past two million years，we have evolved from groups of apelike beings armed with sticks and stones to the creators of cars，rockets，and nations.Our bigger brains have allowed us to bond and cooperate in more complex and diverse ways than any other animal.Meanwhile，“you are whom you meet.” How we perceive，experience，and act in the world is shaped by who and what surround us on a daily basis.This process has deep evolutionary roots and gives humans what we call a shared reality.
I would argue that the rise in online aggression is a product of our evolutionary social skills，the social media boom，and the specific political，economic and social context where we find ourselves.This explosive combination has opened up a space for increasingly more people to fan the flames of aggression and insult online.Aggressive behavior—especially to those you don’t have to confront face-to-face—is easier than it’s ever been.And for the aggressor，there are often no consequences.
Yes，it seems that the world is getting more aggressive，but that’s not because we are more aggressive at our core.It’s because we haven’t been standing up against bullying，abuse，and aggressive harassment，and promoting prosocial attitudes and actions our contemporary world demands.In person and on social media，we must do both.
32．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph two refer to
A．Hate crimes on the rise.
B．Growing political divisions.
C．Considerable online bitterness.
D．The transformation of humans.
33．What’s the author’s attitude toward social media
A．Objective. B．Critical.
C．Approving. D．Ironic.
34．What does the author propose to address the issue of growing aggression
A．Embracing our aggressive nature to compete in today’s world.
B．Strengthening laws to hold perpetrators responsible for their online actions.
C．Focusing only on reducing anonymity on the Internet to reduce offensive behavior.
D．Promoting positive behaviors and interactions in both real-life and digital spaces.
35．What is mainly discussed in this passage
A．The impact of social media on society.
B．The reasons behind rising online aggression.
C．The influence of evolution on our behavior.
D．The factors in the social media development.

M：I can’t wait to see them myself.And did you say the painter’s name was Desiree
W：Yes，but she only uses that name when she paints.Her real name is Lucy Green.But don’t you think Desiree really sounds more exciting

The Self-Portrait Challenge
Have you ever done a self-portrait in an art lesson at school？Today，we’re challenging you to write self-portrait poems.It’s not uncommon to feel like the way people see you on the outside doesn’t quite match up with how you feel on the inside.So creating a self-portrait can be a good opportunity to address those differences and present the realest，truest version of yourself.
Your challenge is to create a self-portrait in lines，using words instead of paint.Read on for some more inspiration.
Writing Tips
·Have a go at writing a list of metaphors exploring your physical appearance，starting from your head and working your way down towards your feet.
·Instead of representing yourself directly，take on another character，such as a fictional character，a historical figure，or even a different version of yourself.
·Play around with personification，by taking on the voice of a physical object in your poem.Think about what a self-portrait from the point of view of a mirror，or a bowl of your favourite food would look like

As an ordinary man，I have a special habit to confess.Whenever I walk down the street，I offer to pour a bottle of water from the nearby river into the dirt of a street tree.It’s just my personal habit，and I think it doesn’t make a difference，but I’d like to do it.I mention this in light of a campaign launched by the Arboricultural Association to call on the public to water new street trees.
The UK government has committed to planting millions of trees to help meet climate targets and aims to increase tree cover from 14.5% to 16.5% by 2050.However，as John Parker，chief executive of the Arboricultural Association，says，“Planting a tree is just the start of the story.The health and survival of new urban trees is threatened by increasingly dry weather.It is recommended that the newly planted trees be given about 50 litres of water per week for the first three years.” While in rural settings，the newly planted trees and woods can take care of themselves and adapt，the challenging conditions mean trees in the urban areas need a bit more care.
Long ago，I assumed that the good of street trees was to soften the hard edges of urban environments.But，what an underestimation of tree power that was! A study from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities illustrates they can provide inspiration or a calming atmosphere in an otherwise crowded city.Trees are responsible for easing urban heat island effects and air and pollutant filtration.And I think they provide the habitat for wildlife，especially birds.
Trees can’t run away.Unfortunately for them and fortunately for urban residents，city trees are stuck with us.If we want to continue enjoying all the good they do，we should try to understand their needs and do all that we can to support them.A bottle of water won’t do much，but next time you all together have a bucket of water to pour，you know what big effect will happen.
24．What does the author think of his personal habit
A．It is of little effect.
B．It is enforced.
C．It is of much significance.
D．It is common.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It’s just my personal habit，and I think it doesn’t make a difference...”可知，作者认为给行道树浇水只是他的个人习惯，作用不大，故选A。
25．What does John Parker say about urban trees
A．They have started to be watered regularly.
B．More work needs to be done for their living.
C．They are threatened by the increasing flood.
D．The newly planted ones can’t look after themselves.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中John Parker 所说的话“Planting a tree is just the start of the story.The health and survival of new urban trees is threatened by increasingly dry weather.It is recommended that the newly planted trees be given about 50 litres of water per week for the first three years.”可推知，他认为植树只是开始，城市树木若要健康地存活下来，还需要更多的照顾，故选B。
26．What can we learn about street trees from paragraph 3
A．Their usage is overrated.
B．Their value is thought highly of by the public.
C．They benefit residents physically and mentally.
D．They can thoroughly solve environmental problems.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A study...illustrates they can provide inspiration...easing urban heat island effects and air and pollutant filtration.”可知，行道树可以提供灵感、助人冷静、净化空气等，即有益于城市居民的身心健康，故选C。
27．What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A．When in need，ask for it.
B．Tall trees catch much wind.
C．Misfortunes seldom come alone.
D．Many hands make light work.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A bottle of water won’t do much，but next time you all together have a bucket of water to pour，you know what big effect will happen.”可知，作者呼吁大家一起浇灌行道树，发挥众人的力量，说明“人多力量大”，故选D。

New research suggests that night owls may be more likely to develop heart disease or diabetes than early birds.People who get up early in the morning seem to burn more fat as an energy source and are often more active than those who stay up late.
According to a study in the journal Experimental Physiology by Rutgers University researchers，early risers use more fat during both rest and exercise，regardless of their aerobic fitness，compared to night owls.The former are also more active throughout the day，using more fat，while their late-night counterparts tend to store more.
While the two groups had similar body compositions，the early risers were more sensitive to insulin(胰岛素) blood levels and burned more fat during exercise and rest.The study found that night owls used carbohydrates for energy instead of burning fat for fuel.
Dr.Steven Malin，the study’s lead researcher，mentioned that his team had not decoded why these two groups had different metabolisms(新陈代谢)．It could be due to a “mismatch” between their bedtime and natural circadian rhythms(昼夜节律)．
Night owls are reported to have a higher rate of obesity，Type 2 diabetes，and cardiovascular disease compared to early birds.This could be because they become misaligned(偏离) with their circadian rhythm，especially among adults who work and may have to wake up early，disrupting their natural body clock.This chronic misalignment is often referred to as “social jet lag”．
In addition to health risks，the article pointed out that night owls are more likely to engage in risky behaviors and consume more tobacco，alcohol，and caffeine.They also tend to skip breakfast and consume more food later in the day.
This research adds to the understanding that being a late sleeper has been associated with a higher risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.While some night owls may outperform early birds on certain cognitive tasks，the study highlights the potential health consequences of staying up late.It suggests that morning people may have better metabolic health，even if night owls are more alert during late hours.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的睡眠模式对人们身体的影响，指出早起的人要比熬夜的人更有活力，更健康。
28．What can we learn from the new study
A．Night owls are less likely to develop diseases.
B．Early risers tend to store more fat than night owls.
C．Night owls are more sensitive to insulin blood levels.
D．Early risers are more active and burn more fat than night owls.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People who get up early in the morning seem to burn more fat as an energy source and are often more active than those who stay up late.”可知，早起的人比熬夜的人燃烧更多的脂肪，并且更活跃。故选 D。
29．What does the underlined word “decoded” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Accepted.
B．Understood.
C．Ignored.
D．Simplified.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“It could be due to a‘mismatch’between their bedtime and natural circadian rhythms(昼夜节律)．”可知，研究团队还不太清楚为什么两组人新陈代谢不同，只是作出了推测。由此猜测画线词意为“理解，明白”，与understand同义。故选 B。
30．How does the author organize paragraph 5
A．By making comparisons.
B．By providing an example.
C．By analyzing cause and effect.
D．By giving a definition.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段“Night owls are reported to have a higher rate of...This could be because...”可知，本段介绍了夜猫子患某些疾病的概率更大，并分析了这一现象的原因。由此推知，本段是通过分析因果关系来展开的。故选 C。
31．What is the best title for the text
A．The Impact of Sleep Patterns on Health
B．The Risky Behaviors of a Night Owl
C．The Significance of Adequate Sleep
D．The Health Benefits of Being an Early Bird
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段内容可知，本文主要是关于睡眠模式对健康的影响。因此A项“睡眠模式对健康的影响”适合作为本文标题。故选A。

(2025·浙江开域联盟联考)
In recent years，aggression on social media has become commonplace.More than half of the victims said they didn’t know the identity of the perpetrator(作恶者)．Most people agreed that the anonymity(匿名) of the Internet provides cover for nasty and harassing(骚扰) behavior.
Does this growing aggression on social media give us a glimpse of our real human nature Are we—at our core—aggressive beasts It’s true that hate crimes are on the rise，and political divisions appear to be growing.The level of public bitterness—especially online—is substantial.But I don’t believe that is because social media has unlocked our cruel human nature.
As an evolutionary anthropologist，I have spent years researching our transformation as a species.Over the past two million years，we have evolved from groups of apelike beings armed with sticks and stones to the creators of cars，rockets，and nations.Our bigger brains have allowed us to bond and cooperate in more complex and diverse ways than any other animal.Meanwhile，“you are whom you meet.” How we perceive，experience，and act in the world is shaped by who and what surround us on a daily basis.This process has deep evolutionary roots and gives humans what we call a shared reality.
I would argue that the rise in online aggression is a product of our evolutionary social skills，the social media boom，and the specific political，economic and social context where we find ourselves.This explosive combination has opened up a space for increasingly more people to fan the flames of aggression and insult online.Aggressive behavior—especially to those you don’t have to confront face-to-face—is easier than it’s ever been.And for the aggressor，there are often no consequences.
Yes，it seems that the world is getting more aggressive，but that’s not because we are more aggressive at our core.It’s because we haven’t been standing up against bullying，abuse，and aggressive harassment，and promoting prosocial attitudes and actions our contemporary world demands.In person and on social media，we must do both.
语篇解读 本文是议论文。本文论述了网络霸凌和攻击性言行日益增加的原因，以及如何应对这种现象。
32．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph two refer to
A．Hate crimes on the rise.
B．Growing political divisions.
C．Considerable online bitterness.
D．The transformation of humans.
答案 C
解析 代词指代题。第二段中“Does this growing aggression on social media give us a glimpse of our real human nature Are we—at our core—aggressive beasts It’s true that hate crimes are on the rise，and political divisions appear to be growing.The level of public bitterness—especially online—is substantial.”提出了网络攻击性日益增长是否是人性使然的疑问，指出目前网络公众痛苦程度相当高。而画线词所在句的开头“But”表示转折，说明作者并不认同这一观点，因此可知，that指上文公众相当高的痛苦程度。故选C。
33．What’s the author’s attitude toward social media
A．Objective. B．Critical.
C．Approving. D．Ironic.
答案 A
解析 观点态度题。根据第一段中“Most people agreed that the anonymity(匿名) of the Internet provides cover for nasty and harassing(骚扰) behavior.”和第二段中“The level of public bitterness—especially online—is substantial.But I don’t believe that’s because social media has unlocked our cruel human nature.”可知，虽然很多人认为网络的匿名性为网上攻击性行为提供了遮掩，作者不认为社交媒体释放了人类残忍的天性，然后客观论述了背后的原因。所以作者对社交媒体的态度还是比较公正客观的。故选A。
34．What does the author propose to address the issue of growing aggression
A．Embracing our aggressive nature to compete in today’s world.
B．Strengthening laws to hold perpetrators responsible for their online actions.
C．Focusing only on reducing anonymity on the Internet to reduce offensive behavior.
D．Promoting positive behaviors and interactions in both real-life and digital spaces.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为整个社会之所以变得越来越有攻击性，不是因为我们本性好斗好攻击，而是因为一直以来我们没有勇敢地站出来与这些攻击性行为做斗争，所以作者提倡线上线下我们都应有积极的言行和互动。故选D。
35．What is mainly discussed in this passage
A．The impact of social media on society.
B．The reasons behind rising online aggression.
C．The influence of evolution on our behavior.
D．The factors in the social media development.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是通过第一段引入话题：网上攻击性言行的增加，很多人认为始作俑者是网络本身。第二段中“But I don’t believe that’s because social media has unlocked our cruel human nature.”指出作者不认为是社交媒体释放了我们的本性才导致网络攻击性的增长，接着为网络攻击性的增长概括了三个原因：人类进化出的社交特性，网络媒体的繁荣，各种政治、经济和社会环境的影响。最后一段作者呼吁大家行动起来，与这些攻击性言行作斗争。综上，作者主要探讨了日益增长的网络攻击行为背后的原因，故选B。

In fact，good news，known as solutions journalism，is becoming more popular，as publishers and news stations discover the benefits of sharing positive stories.Good Good Good is one of them. 38 A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good with possible solutions.
“If it bleeds，it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence，death and destruction draw readers’ attention. 39 The thing is，however，there’s also good stuff out there—the delightful and kind parts of humanity.“Beautiful stories are happening worldwide. 40 When you do find them，the world can suddenly feel like a very different place.Good news is a vital part of how we learn about the world and solving the world’s problems，” Hervey，one of Good Good Good’s editors said.

38．答案 G
解析 上文“In fact，good news，known as solutions journalism，is becoming more popular，...sharing positive stories.Good Good Good is one of them.”说明了Good Good Good是一家分享积极故事的公司，空格处应该对其进行进一步介绍，G选项说明了这家公司有意地致力于提供好消息，承接上文，符合语境，故选G。
39．答案 F
解析 空前“‘If it bleeds，it leads.’ has long been a saying...draw readers’ attention.”说明了“凡有流血，皆上头条”这句话是媒体用来形容有关暴力、死亡和破坏的新闻报道如何吸引读者注意力的说法，空格处应该说这会引起一个什么结果，F选项说明了前面所说内容所导致的结果，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
40．答案 D
解析 上文“Beautiful stories are happening worldwide.”说明世界上是有美丽的故事的，下文“When you do find them，the world can suddenly feel like a very different place.”暗示了你有时候发现不了它们，D选项说明只是我们听到它们的次数不是很多，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选D。

解析 考查介词。此处是指“作为”北斗卫星导航系统技术的发源地，所以应用介词as。句首单词首字母应大写。故填As。
63．答案 the
解析 考查冠词。此处特指前文中提到的湖南省，所以应用定冠词the。故填the。
64．答案 aims
解析 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据句中的has可知，此处用一般现在时，且主语province为单数。故填aims。
65．答案 and
解析 考查连词。分析句子可知，动词短语“make breakthroughs...”，“promote the cooperation...”和“improve the...”构成并列关系，所以此处应用连词and。故填and。
