A [2025·重庆第七中学高二期中]
Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad ” he tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy.
When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully persuade him.
Once our discussion ended, Henry requested me to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat:“the poison tide”. Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents (暗流), hope and despair.
And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness (笨拙)and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel.
( )1.What drove the author to read The Wild Robot
A.Its attractive cover.
B.Henry’s tearful recommendation.
C.Its tragic ending.
D.Henry’s emotional reaction to it.
( )2.What is one theme of The Wild Robot Protects
A.Family and society.
B.Exploration of the ocean.
C.Concerns over global issues.
D.Man-robot relationships.
( )3.What makes Roz in the trilogy special
A.Her childlike expressions.
B.Her struggling experiences.
C.Her robotic power.
D.Her adventurous spirit.
( )4.Which message does this text seem to communicate
A.Misfortune inspires great literary works.
B.Robot stories work like magic on children.
C.Book discussions help kids survive tragedies.
D.Reading literature facilitates personal growth.
B [2025·山东青岛高二期中]
For a lucky 32 percent or so of humans, happiness may seem like a matter of good genes. That’s because their DNA encodes(编码) certain personality quality, like outgoing and low anxiety, which are closely linked to increased levels of life satisfaction. In studies of twins, those genetic differences help explain why one twin was happier with their life than the other.
But a happy life isn’t entirely determined by genes. For the most part, your happiness is impacted by environmental and behavioural factors, aspects of your lives over which we can exercise some control. And there are more direct ways to boost our happiness level, too.
Often referred to as “positive psychology”, a growing body of evidence suggests there are interventions that can teach people happiness skills, like how to be more compassionate with themselves, or how to enjoy positive experiences. Some emphasize reflecting on your personal strengths and values. Others involve thoughts or connecting with others. Admittedly, none will lead to excitement—but they can make a meaningful difference in your life.
A researcher Lyubomirsky compares learning happiness to creating exercise habits—a routine that has to be practised frequently. One strategy she recommends is writing thank-you letters to people in your life.
But there’s no magic set of practices, though. That’s why Lyubomirsky says it’s important to find techniques that work for you. If a thank-you letter gets boring or isn’t your thing, try calling a friend or thinking.
But neither genes nor clinically tested exercises can protect people from the reality that life is hard. During the pandemic, Santos found herself overworked, exhausted and nearly close to burnout. She was fortunate enough to take a holiday and practise the strategies. The experience has been an important reminder for Santos that even the most scientifically supported exercises can’t help if you don’t do them.
“The strategies I teach work,” she says. “But you have to make sure you’re following them and putting them into practice, which takes regular work and effort.”
( )5.Which factors mainly influence people’s happiness
A.The inborn personality aspects.
B.The education that people receive.
C.The living environment and habits.
D.The interpersonal relationship.
( )6.How can we learn to be happy
A.Explore our shining points.
B.Compare ourselves with other people.
C.Appreciate unique life experiences.
D.Think for others instead of ourselves.
( )7.What does Santos suggest people do A.Write thank-you notes to their parents.
B.Take a break to relieve their burden.
C.Find a method suitable for them and stick to it.
D.Read more books to get the practical techniques.
( )8.What can be a suitable title for the text

A［2025·重庆第七中学高二期中］
Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated
by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown's middle-grade
trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why
did The Wild Robot have to be so sad ” he tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named
Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island's

creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it
was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact
him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy.
When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In
our book club discussion, he described how Brown's pictures
and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its
final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured
body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had
cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced

him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how
sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed
to fully persuade him.
Once our discussion ended, Henry requested me to buy
The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He
read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his
excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot
Protects.

We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island
again to stop an underwater threat:“the poison tide”. Brown
expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling
ideas—not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the
climate-change undercurrents (暗流), hope and despair.
And, here's something special about Roz: her physical
clumsiness (笨拙)and confusion about life, conveyed through her
expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the
challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child's

journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better,
they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push
through the first book's sad parts, getting him ready to
appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn't a bad thing to feel.

B［2025·山东青岛高二期中］
For a lucky 32 percent or so of humans, happiness may
seem like a matter of good genes. That's because their DNA
encodes(编码) certain personality quality, like outgoing and low
anxiety, which are closely linked to increased levels of life
satisfaction. In studies of twins, those genetic differences help
explain why one twin was happier with their life than the other.
But a happy life isn't entirely determined by genes. For the
most part, your happiness is impacted by environmental and
1
2
3
4

6

8
behavioural factors, aspects of your lives over which we can
exercise some control. And there are more direct ways to boost
our happiness level, too.
Often referred to as “positive psychology”, a growing body
of evidence suggests there are interventions that can teach
people happiness skills, like how to be more compassionate with
themselves, or how to enjoy positive experiences. Some
emphasize reflecting on your personal strengths and values.
Others involve thoughts or connecting with others.

Admittedly, none will lead to excitement—but they can make a
meaningful difference in your life.
A researcher Lyubomirsky compares learning happiness to
creating exercise habits—a routine that has to be practised
frequently. One strategy she recommends is writing thank-you
letters to people in your life.
But there's no magic set of practices, though. That's why
Lyubomirsky says it's important to find techniques that work for
you. If a thank-you letter gets boring or isn't your thing, try
calling a friend or thinking.

But neither genes nor clinically tested exercises can protect
people from the reality that life is hard. During the pandemic,
Santos found herself overworked, exhausted and nearly close to
burnout. She was fortunate enough to take a holiday and
practise the strategies. The experience has been an important
reminder for Santos that even the most scientifically supported
exercises can't help if you don't do them.
“The strategies I teach work,” she says. “But you have to
make sure you're following them and putting them into practice,
which takes regular work and effort.”
