二、阅读理解
New year, new you... at least that’s the plan, right We all start January with big intentions, but actually sticking to those shiny New Year’s resolutions is a different story. Luckily, there’s an app for that—actually, there are loads!
AlITrails
AllTrails is a great exercise app as it encourages you to get out into nature instead of hitting up an overpriced gym. With detailed trail maps that guide you through numerous outdoor activities, you’ll be working up a sweat in no time while taking advantage of natural beauty!
Rocket Money
Cutting back on spending is the most popular New Year’s resolution globally, every year. This user-friendly app simplifies everything that comes along with budgeting and expense tracking, while also helping you manage subscriptions and bills. With features like automated bill negotiation and credit score monitoring, you can think of Rocket Money as your personal financial assistant.
Imprint
Want to cut doom-scrolling but not ready to drop your phone Imprint is here to help. The app takes big ideas from the world’s greatest thinkers and breaks them down into simple, visual snippets that you can actually remember. Whether you want to master essential topics, or just have a few fun facts to throw into your conversations, Imprint makes learning quick, and easy!

From the way it gamifies your progress to the user-friendly interface, Duolingo makes leaning a new language both easy and enjoyable!

Ben was eleven years old when he spotted his neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. He popped his head over the fence, and said to her, “I’ve seen you’re very good with a lawn mower (割草机) and gardening tools. The hedge (树篱) over the pathway near here has become so overgrown that I am planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out ”
Julie loved the idea of helping Ben and their community. They agreed to cut the hedge the following Sunday. Ben’s brother Josh, aged 8 at the time, also came along to help. All three of them tackled away at it until they reduced it.
They posted photos of their handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, their local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. The comments and reactions just kept on coming. The whole town of Malmesbury seemed to embrace their team spirit and felt inspired to follow their lead. Manypeople raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep their town tidy. With many willing hands, their town has transformed. Before, the town looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier.
To keep the projects going, Ben created a Facebook page and website to support their projects. Their Facebook Page “Helping The Community Of Malmesbury” currently sits at 669 members and is a place for all the locals to share what litter picking and cleaning up they have been up to. Ben also managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. The funding has helped them obtain trees, plants, tools, and gardening equipment. When community members plan a clean-up, they can contact them via the website to access any tools and equipment they need to complete a project.
Ben is so pleased that 6 years later, the clean up campaign is still in full-swing. He has just been so overwhelmed with the support over the years that he cannot thank the community enough. Their mission will not stop.
24．What did Ben invite Julie to do
A．Mow the lawn. B．Cut the hedge. C．Repair the fence. D．Help the neighbor.
25．What did the community do after seeing their post
A．They cleaned their town. B．They shared more photos.
C．They embraced each other. D．They stood by doing nothing.
26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Ways to raise funds. B．Efforts to run the projects.
C．Scenes of doing cleaning. D．Feelings of managing the projects.
27．What can we learn from the text
A．No pains, no gains. B．You reap what you sow.
C．More haste, less speed. D．Many hands make light work.
Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture (碳捕捉) proposal. It can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life ofTrees was an encouraging bestseller of 2015. Wohlleben’s idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop toying with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we don’t, our Rome will burn.
The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our rescuer. But it’s terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our own rescue. Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what’s considered as part of the solution is part of the problem.
Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring (蒸发). If there’s no water, there’s no cooling. Drought can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways of dealing with it, and Wohlleben sets them out. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that’s how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They change the rate at which they feed themselves with sugar solution through root networks.
Forests can take in greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you’ re letting off carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Broadleaf trees are not “harvest-ready” at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting expressions such as “renewable energy”, and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
If we don’t learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway — but without us Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
28．What’s suggested in the book
A．Using renewable energy. B．Leaving trees alone.
C．Dealing with climate change. D．Changing forestry species.
29．What might happen if we keep toying with trees
A．We will be our own rescuer. B．We will be alone without trees.
C．Our world will be destroyed. D．The capital city of Italy will burn.
30．How do trees survive drought
A．They stop absorbing water. B．They lose all their leaves.
C．They get help from humans. D．They slow down their growth.
31．What does the underlined word “interrogate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Try. B．Explain. C．Question. D．Appreciate.
At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up.
Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable.
In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.
The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time.
This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education.
32．What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe
A．Prioritizing effort over well-being.
B．Relieving stress through social activities.
C．Displaying graceful images to attract others.
D．Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted.
33．How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception
A．By showing effort fuels the brain activity.
B．By proving focus enhances brain function.
C．By linking color recognition to intelligence.
D．By associating careful observation with talent.
34．What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”
A．It values the learning process over outcomes.
B．It causes stress and false ideas about success.
C．It prevents students from recognizing their talents.
D．It makes students prioritize socializing over studying.
35．Which of the following might the author agree with
A．Fortune favors those with a clear vision.
B．Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece.
C．Work in silence and let success make the noise.
D．Keep moving forward even when no one sees it.
Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. 36 In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders. Music emerges as a promising tool for promoting well-being of the elderly.
Music has a great power to cause strong emotions and intense pleasure. 37 singing and dancing to music with others is not only fun but also improves mood. Musical activities are great ways to reduce stress because they take our minds off problems. They also help us feel less lonely and more connected with other people.
38 A song may become a soundtrack for a particular time, such as a delightful party with friends that you had along time ago. Listening to that song allows you to remember all the happy memories from that time.
Finally, music contributes to keeping our thinking skills sharp. It makes our brains work hard in unique ways to understand the rhythm and melody. 39 For example, exposure to background music, particularly classical music, during cognitive (认知的) tasks is shown to improve older people’s cognitive processes, such as processing speed and working memory.
In conclusion, music is a powerful tool to fight against aging-related emotional and cognitive problems. It is an enjoyable and social activity, available to anyone regardless of their background or previous musical experience. 40
A．Music can also open forgotten doors to our memories.
B．Recalling happy memories can lift our mood on a bad day.
C．Even passive music listening can help elderly adults think better.
D．This helps people feel better when they are depressed or anxious.
E．However, it often involves a series of physical and mental challenges.
F．The ability to form new memories is essential for processing information.
G．Thus, this accessible intervention should become a major policy priority for healthy aging.

The Right Thing to Do
Fauna had always’ dreamed of keeping a pet. Time and again, she asked her parents, promising to walk, feed, and look after it. Each time, though, they gave the same gentle response: “We’ll see.”
One afternoon, on her way home from school, Fauna saw a little dog wandering near the park. Its fur was messy, and it looked lost, sniffing the ground as if searching for something Feeling curious and hopeful, Fauna bent down and called to it. The dog quickly ran over, wagging (摇) its tail and gently pressing its nose into her hand, like they had known each other forever.
She looked around, but no one seemed to be searching for the dog. Feeling pity for the lost dog, Fauna decided to take it home. As they walked side by side, her heart swelled with joy. It felt as though this was the pet she had always dreamed of — a friend she had been waiting for.
At the front door, Fauna’s mother greeted her with a warm smile. Although she found the dog adorable, she gently reminded Fauna that they needed to try and find its owner. If the dog was lost, someone must be missing it. Fauna reluctantly (不情愿地) agreed, though part of her wished no one would come forward to claim the little dog.
Over the next few days, Fauna and the dog-whom she named Buddy — grew inseparable. She fed him, played with him, and let him sleep curled up at the foot of her bed. Every day, it became harder to imagine lie without him Buddy seemed happy too wagging his tail: whenever she came home from school. But Fauna knew deep down that she had to do the right thing. She and her parents posted flyers around town, hoping to find Buddy’s owner.
Just a few days later, the phone rang Fauna’s heart sank as her father answered. From the conversation, it was clear that the caller was Buddy’s owner. He described Buddy perfectly — friendly eyes and playful personality. Fauna knew Buddy would soon be leaving her. Her father arranged for the owner to come by and pick Buddy up.

【原文】Hello, everyone. My name is John. Today I want to say something mainly about my daily life. First, I want to say my life has changed a lot when I was a child. I had a lot of time to play but now I have to study all day. I used to play baseball and basketball with my classmates, but now I just stay at home and do my homework. I seldom watch TV these days, for I’m often busy preparing for my tests. Books were my good friends. I used to read a lot of cartoon books and story books instead of reading text books all day like now. I enjoy doing homework with my friends, but parents don’t allow me to do that, because they think we will talk instead of studying but the opposite is the case. We can be more focused in a group study. My mother is a doctor and my father is an engineer. They expect me to be a doctor when I grow up but I dream of being a teacher. Maybe I’ll be a doctor anyway but I don’t think I could be a happy doctor.

76．Dear Tom,
I’m writing to discuss our joint performance for the Time Machine Music Festival, which I think will be a great opportunity to show our talents. My idea is that we should blend Chinese classical songs with British rock classics by using a “musical time travel” theme. We can start with ancient Chinese guqin melodies, transition to 1980s British rock, and end with a modern fusion song.
This design aims to showcase cultural connections across eras and enhance audience interaction. Your British music expertise and my traditional instrument skills could create unique chemistry. Do you have other ideas about song choices or the performance
Looking forward to your ideas!
Yours,
Li Hua
77．范文
When the man arrived, the little dog ran straight into his arms, barking with joy. Fauna watched as Buddy wagged his tail furiously, licking the man’s face with excitement. It was clear that Buddy remembered his owner and was overjoyed to see him again. The man thanked Fauna and her family for taking such good care of Buddy. Fauna knelt down to give Buddy one last hug, whispering, “I’ll miss you, Buddy.” As the man led Buddy away, Fauna stood at the door, waving until they were out of sight. That evening, Fauna sat quietly in her room, feeling the emptiness that Buddy’s absence had left behind. She realized that while saying goodbye to Buddy was hard, it had also opened the door to a new possibility — a chance to give another animal a loving home.
