一、阅读理解
（2025·浙江宁波·二模）①Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people’s mood (情绪). But why and how does it happen Here are a number of different ways.
②Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling, too. This is specially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good. So why not set off that chain (链条) of good feelings to people around
③Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities (慈善) also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
④In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone’s spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you’re getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
⑤All in all, being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you’re in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn’t it

（2025·浙江宁波·二模）Scientists have made some predictions about the future. They’re surprising. They say that in the next fifty years, the way we live will be greatly different. Here are some of their predictions. Which is surprising to you
Growing body parts
Scientist Ellen says, “In 50 years, we can repair sick body parts in the same way as we repair a car.” But doctors will need lots of body parts. Where will they come from Scientists say these could be grown inside animals from human cells (细胞). In a hospital in London, scientists have already started to use human cells to grow noses and ears.
Living longer
In 50 years, living to be 100 years old while still enjoying active and healthy lives will be a common thing. Scientist Richard Miller says, “It’s now possible to make the animals in the lab (实验室) live longer than before. And we believe we can do the same for humans.” With new medicine, people in their 100s will be as healthy as today’s sixty-year-olds. Women will be able to have babies well at an old age.
________
According to scientist Daniel from Canada, a special machine will be able to “read” animals’ feelings and thoughts. It could first work with primates (灵长类动物), then the other animals. This way we can “talk” to animals and know what they think. Soon people on the planet will probably say no to meat and many of them may become vegetarians.

（2025·浙江宁波·二模）For many people, having a cup of coffee right out of bed is the best way to start a day. But a report from Asap Science says otherwise. It says the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up. When we wake up, our bodies start to make cortisol (皮质醇).
Cortisol helps us to think clearly and be quick to understand and act. The cortisol levels rise after we wake up and climb to the highest in about an hour. So there are two problems when we drink coffee during this time: our bodies will make less cortisol, and the cortisol will make coffee less useful. And that’s why some of us drink more and more coffee. Then, when’s the best time to have coffee When the cortisol levels are going down, the report says. Cortisol levels are usually highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.
Three people read the news and wrote what they thought about it.
What do you think Mike: The best time to drink coffee is when you want to drink coffee. Sarah: I often wake up after I drink coffee. Charlie: If you need someone to tell you when to drink coffee, well, that’s just sad.
9．The underlined word “otherwise” in Paragraph 1 probably means the report ________.
A．has different ideas B．has nothing to do with it
C．is made up D．has the same idea
10．The picture shows how the cortisol levels rise and fall during a day. From the passage, which is a good time for coffee
A．A． B．B． C．C． D．D．
11．What did three people think of the news
A．They wanted to try what it said.
B．They were sad about what it said.
C．They disagreed with what it said.
D．They took what it said seriously.
12．Which idea is talked about in the passage
A．How often we should drink coffee.
B．What happens when we have too much coffee.
C．How to help the body make the cortisol we need.
D．What happens when we have coffee at the wrong time.
（2025·宁夏银川·一模）During the breaks between classes, Zhang Shiyu from Yinchuan Hupan Middle School used to rush to the toilet and back with no time for anything else. But now, the 14-year-old enjoys a more relaxed schedule (日程安排). “I can rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” she said.
Starting this spring term, primary and middle schools in Yinchuan, Ningxia have extended class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes in order to improve students’ health and happiness. This new policy has brought about many positive changes. For students, the extended break offers more chances for different kinds of activities. Instead of just sitting at their desks, they can now stretch their bodies, play games like badminton or table-tennis on the playground. Some students choose to take a short walk in the school garden, breathing fresh air and relaxing their minds. This helps them relieve (减轻) stress and recharge (使恢复精力) for the next class. Teachers also benefit from this policy. They can have more time to prepare teaching materials or have a brief chat with students, strengthening the teacher-student relationship.
Experts say longer breaks reduce stress and improve focus. Teachers also notice students returning to class more energetic and attentive. “The extra minutes make a big difference,” said Candy Wang, an English teacher in the school. “Children need time to refresh their minds.”
13．What was Zhang Shiyu’s main problem during short breaks
A．She couldn’t finish homework. B．She had no time for rest or socializing.
C．She felt too tired to exercise. D．She missed his classmates.
14．What does the word “extended” (Paragraph 2) most likely mean
A．Made shorter. B．Repeated. C．Cancelled. D．Made longer.
15．Why did Yinchuan extend school break time
A．To reduce homework loads. B．To prepare for exams.
C．To improve health and happiness. D．To lengthen school days.
16．What is the best title for this passage
A．Longer Breaks, Healthier Students B．New Rules for Teachers
C．Homework Stress in Schools D．The Importance of Toilet Breaks
（2025·内蒙古通辽·三模）Can Skipping (略过) Breakfast Help You Lose Weight
Some people eat little or nothing at all in the morning. They think that skipping the first meal helps them lose weight. Is this true In an experiment, scientists recorded, the brain activity of twenty healthy people. In the first test, these subjects (对象) were asked to skip breakfast. Then, the pictures showed high-calorie (卡路里) and low-calorie food. When the subjects saw the high-calorie food, such as pizzas and cakes, their pleasure center of the brain became more active.
On another day, the subjects took the same test 90 minutes after eating breakfast. This time, however, their brain activity did not show any significant difference when they saw the two types of food.
In both tests, the subjects were asked what they would most like to eat. Their choices were similar to the results of the brain tests. When they didn’t eat breakfast, they preferred high-calorie choices. When they had had a good breakfast, they didn’t show a strong liking for either type of food.
According to this study, skipping your first meal makes your brain think that you need more calories. You may end up eating more later in the day. So, if you want to lose weight, stop staying hungry in the morning. A good breakfast will help you stay slim and healthy!
17．What did the experiment show about skipping breakfast
A．Skipping breakfast makes people feel less hungry.

（2025·广东广州·二模）Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they experience stronger emotions (情感)
① recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis Museum in Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665.
② The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner (扫描仪) to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop. It was shown that their emotional reactions were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings.
③ By study, people may experience something called a “sustained intentional loop” when they watched a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated again and again. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, and they stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement.
④ The director of the Mauritshuis said the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “It really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
21．What is the purpose of the study
A．To explain different ways to study a painting.
B．To check people’s interest in museum paintings.
C．To find differences between a painting and its photo.
D．To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos.
22．What does the underlined word “It ” refer to
A．The study they made. B．Carrying on this study C．The art in real life. D．Seeing the art in real life.
23．How does the writer introduce the “sustained intentional loop”
A．By giving an example. B．By telling a story.
C．By listing numbers. D．By offering advice.
24．Where should the sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” be put in the blanks of the passage
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
（2025·河北邯郸·三模）Learning social skills is a key part of child development. The good news is that social skills can be taught. It is never too soon to start showing kids how to get along with others. Start with these most basic social skills first. Sharing
A willingness to share a snack or a toy can go a long way towards helping kids make and keep friends. According to a study, children between the ages of 3 and 6 are often selfish when it comes to sharing things that come at a cost. While it’s usually not a good idea to force your child to share, you can point out sharing when you see it. Praise a child for sharing and note how it makes others feel. Making eye contact
Good eye contact (接触) is an important part of communication. If your child struggles (斗争) with eye contact, offer quick reminders after the fact. In a gentle voice, ask, “Where should your eyes go when someone is talking to you ” You don’t want to cause a shy child additional anxiety. And, provide praise when your child remembers to look at people when they are talking. Listening
Listening isn’t just about staying quiet—it means really absorbing what someone else is saying. After all, much of the learning at school depends on a child’s ability to listen to what the teacher is saying. When reading a book to your children, periodically (定期地) stop and ask them to tell you about what you’re reading. Pause and say, “Tell me what you remember about the story so far.” Don’t allow your children to interrupt others when they’re talking.
25．If a mother wants to teach her kid to share, what should she say
A．You are such a selfish child. B．You must learn to share your toys.
C．Your sister doesn’t love a bad kid. D．Your sharing makes your sister happy.
26．What does the underlined word “anxiety” mean
A．being angry with somebody B．being very worried about something
C．being excited about others’ praise D．being too shy to speak with someone
27．What does the writer agree with about listening
A．It’s just about keeping quiet. B．It’s mostly taught at school.
C．It’s more important than sharing. D．It’s important to know what others say.
28．In which part of a newspaper can you find the passage
A．Travel. B．Science. C．Family. D．Health.
（2025·内蒙古鄂尔多斯·三模）Does this sound familiar A workmate asks, “What are you up to this weekend ” You tell her you’re not sure. She replies with her own exciting plan. “I’m going to my lake house to have a big party.”
I call this “boomerasking”. Like a boomerang, boomeraskers ask a question, let their partner answer and then immediately bring the focus of the conversation back to themselves. They try to both show interest in their partner and disclose something about themselves, but they fail to achieve either goal.
We know it is good to show interest in our partners during conversations in many ways—by asking questions, supporting a different opinion, or saying something that relates to what the other person just said. However, self-centredness is tricky to outrun. As humans, we mostly think about our own viewpoint. Between 40% and 60% of what people say in conversations is about themselves—their feelings, opinions, and personal experiences. On social media, it’s even worse—80% of communication is self-related.
For many people, self-disclosure simply feels great. A willingness to open up to others is an important sign of liking and closeness: it shows that you trust someone to know things about you. It’s also the primary way people shape how others think of them. By carefully choosing what to share, we try to seem kind, smart, confident and interesting in our partners’ eyes. And we show off or complain, hoping to receive admiration or understanding.
Still, we recognize that social rules discourage overly self-centred behavior and try to deal with this problem with some indirect habits. People who want others to admire them might pretend to complain while actually showing off, like saying, “I’m tired from all the interviews about my new book.” Others wanting to seem higher position might give mixed praise, like “Your ideas were pretty good, for a beginner.”
But compared with these ways we try to hide our self-centredness, boomer asking may be worse because it reduces the benefits of asking questions.
Asking heartfelt questions, listening to others’ answers and following up on those answers may be the easiest and most powerful pathway to shared understanding and interpersonal connection. Boomer asking breaks the magic. Failing to follow up on your partner’s answer, and answering the question yourself instead, makes others feel like you don’t care about them.
So don’t boomer ask! When another person shares their views, focus on them. We should all aim to be more interested in our partners before we go back to proving how interesting we are ourselves.
29．What will boomer askers do after they ask a question about your hobbies
A．Stop you when you talk and discuss a different topic.
B．Listen to your answer carefully and ask follow-up questions.
C．Pay little attention to your answer and talk about their hobbies.
30．The words “tricky to outrun” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.
A．hard to shake off B．unusual to see C．pleasant to accept
31．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．boomer asking balances caring about others and opening up
B．self-centredness is unwelcome even when expressed indirectly
C．mixed praise is a straight and honest way to express admiration
32．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To guide people in building interesting conversations.
B．To prove the effect of self-centredness in conversations.
C．To encourage better listening and replying in conversations.

When making the company’s products, there were lots of technical problems. For example, making robots balance and move easily was very hard. Wang Xingxing and his team worked long hours to fix and make the programs better. Sometimes they worked all night because they wanted to be successful.
After some time, Unitree Robotics became famous. Their products were used in many places, like entertainment, rescue, and delivery. This was a big step for Wang Xingxing and his team. But he knew it was just the start.

（2025·宁夏吴忠·二模）Yang Zhiyang, a 23-year-old boy, has inspired many young people as he works full-time to take care of his mother, who has ALS (渐冻症). Yang’s mother had the disease in 2012. Yang, then 10, took care of his mother.

20．推理判断题。根据文章中的实验结果，不吃早餐会让大脑认为需要更多卡路里，可能导致一天中晚些时候吃得更多，尤其是高热量食物，因此不吃早餐并不利于减肥。由此可以推断，如果Mike一个月都不吃早餐，他很可能并没有减轻体重。故选B。
21．D 22．D 23．A 24．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项关于人们在观看真实艺术品和照片时情感反应差异的研究，并揭示了真实艺术品对观众注意力和情感的强大影响。
21．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop.”可知，研究的目的是观察人们对真实艺术品和照片的反应差异。故选D。
22．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“She added, ‘It really helps develop your brain.’”结合前文“The director of the Mauritshuis said the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life”可知，“It”指代的是“Seeing the art in real life”（亲身观看艺术品）。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated again and again.”可知，作者通过描述《戴珍珠耳环的少女》对观众注意力的引导，举例说明“sustained intentional loop”现象。故选A。
24．推理判断题。根据第二段“It was shown that their emotional reactions were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings.”以及空缺处需补充的内容“The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.”可知，此句应放在②处，进一步补充对特定画作的研究结果。故选B。

【导语】本文主要讲述了“boomerang”这种交流现象，并在文中列举了例子解释其含义。呼吁人们通过真诚倾听和回应建立更好的人际关系。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Like a boomerang, boomeraskers ask a question, let their partner answer and then immediately bring the focus of the conversation back to themselves.”可知，当被问起爱好时，他们不会关注你的回答，而是转而谈论自己的爱好。故选C。
30．词句猜测题。根据第三段“However, self-centredness is tricky to outrun. As humans, we mostly think about our own viewpoint. Between 40% and 60% of what people say in conversations is about themselves”可知，后文解释了人类大多关注自身观点，对话中40%-60% 的内容与自身相关，因此自我中心是很难摆脱。由此推断，划线词“tricky to outrun”意为“难以摆脱”，与“hard to shake off难以摆脱”语义一致。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据“Still, we recognise that social rules discourage overly self-centred behaviour and try to deal with this problem with some indirect habits.…”及“But compared with these ways we try to hide our self-centredness, boomer asking may be worse because it reduces the benefits of asking questions.”可知，人们通过“假装抱怨式炫耀” 或 “混合式赞美” 等间接方式掩盖自我中心，但作者认为“boomerasking”比这些方式更糟糕，暗示任何形式的自我中心行为都不受欢迎。故选B。
32．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文通过分析“boomerasking”现象，揭示了对话中自我中心的问题，呼吁人们通过真诚倾听和回应建立更好的人际连接。故选C。

学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
（2025·浙江宁波·二模）①Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people’s mood (情绪). But why and how does it happen Here are a number of different ways.
②Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling, too. This is specially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good. So why not set off that chain (链条) of good feelings to people around
③Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities (慈善) also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
④In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone’s spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you’re getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
⑤All in all, being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you’re in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn’t it

（2025·浙江宁波·二模）Scientists have made some predictions about the future. They’re surprising. They say that in the next fifty years, the way we live will be greatly different. Here are some of their predictions. Which is surprising to you
Growing body parts
Scientist Ellen says, “In 50 years, we can repair sick body parts in the same way as we repair a car.” But doctors will need lots of body parts. Where will they come from Scientists say these could be grown inside animals from human cells (细胞). In a hospital in London, scientists have already started to use human cells to grow noses and ears.
Living longer
In 50 years, living to be 100 years old while still enjoying active and healthy lives will be a common thing. Scientist Richard Miller says, “It’s now possible to make the animals in the lab (实验室) live longer than before. And we believe we can do the same for humans.” With new medicine, people in their 100s will be as healthy as today’s sixty-year-olds. Women will be able to have babies well at an old age.
________
According to scientist Daniel from Canada, a special machine will be able to “read” animals’ feelings and thoughts. It could first work with primates (灵长类动物), then the other animals. This way we can “talk” to animals and know what they think. Soon people on the planet will probably say no to meat and many of them may become vegetarians.
5．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A．scientists B．body parts C．humans cells D．animals

（2025·浙江宁波·二模）For many people, having a cup of coffee right out of bed is the best way to start a day. But a report from Asap Science says otherwise. It says the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up. When we wake up, our bodies start to make cortisol (皮质醇).
Cortisol helps us to think clearly and be quick to understand and act. The cortisol levels rise after we wake up and climb to the highest in about an hour. So there are two problems when we drink coffee during this time: our bodies will make less cortisol, and the cortisol will make coffee less useful. And that’s why some of us drink more and more coffee. Then, when’s the best time to have coffee When the cortisol levels are going down, the report says. Cortisol levels are usually highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.
Three people read the news and wrote what they thought about it.
What do you think Mike: The best time to drink coffee is when you want to drink coffee. Sarah: I often wake up after I drink coffee. Charlie: If you need someone to tell you when to drink coffee, well, that’s just sad.
9．The underlined word “otherwise” in Paragraph 1 probably means the report ________.
A．has different ideas B．has nothing to do with it
C．is made up D．has the same idea
10．The picture shows how the cortisol levels rise and fall during a day. From the passage, which is a good time for coffee

B．They were sad about what it said.
C．They disagreed with what it said.
D．They took what it said seriously.
12．Which idea is talked about in the passage
A．How often we should drink coffee.
B．What happens when we have too much coffee.
C．How to help the body make the cortisol we need.
D．What happens when we have coffee at the wrong time.
（2025·宁夏银川·一模）During the breaks between classes, Zhang Shiyu from Yinchuan Hupan Middle School used to rush to the toilet and back with no time for anything else. But now, the 14-year-old enjoys a more relaxed schedule (日程安排). “I can rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” she said.
Starting this spring term, primary and middle schools in Yinchuan, Ningxia have extended class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes in order to improve students’ health and happiness. This new policy has brought about many positive changes. For students, the extended break offers more chances for different kinds of activities. Instead of just sitting at their desks, they can now stretch their bodies, play games like badminton or table-tennis on the playground. Some students choose to take a short walk in the school garden, breathing fresh air and relaxing their minds. This helps them relieve (减轻) stress and recharge (使恢复精力) for the next class. Teachers also benefit from this policy. They can have more time to prepare teaching materials or have a brief chat with students, strengthening the teacher-student relationship.
Experts say longer breaks reduce stress and improve focus. Teachers also notice students returning to class more energetic and attentive. “The extra minutes make a big difference,” said Candy Wang, an English teacher in the school. “Children need time to refresh their minds.”
13．What was Zhang Shiyu’s main problem during short breaks
A．She couldn’t finish homework. B．She had no time for rest or socializing.
C．She felt too tired to exercise. D．She missed his classmates.
14．What does the word “extended” (Paragraph 2) most likely mean
A．Made shorter. B．Repeated. C．Cancelled. D．Made longer.
15．Why did Yinchuan extend school break time
A．To reduce homework loads. B．To prepare for exams.
C．To improve health and happiness. D．To lengthen school days.
16．What is the best title for this passage
A．Longer Breaks, Healthier Students B．New Rules for Teachers
C．Homework Stress in Schools D．The Importance of Toilet Breaks
（2025·内蒙古通辽·三模）Can Skipping (略过) Breakfast Help You Lose Weight
Some people eat little or nothing at all in the morning. They think that skipping the first meal helps them lose weight. Is this true In an experiment, scientists recorded, the brain activity of twenty healthy people. In the first test, these subjects (对象) were asked to skip breakfast. Then, the pictures showed high-calorie (卡路里) and low-calorie food. When the subjects saw the high-calorie food, such as pizzas and cakes, their pleasure center of the brain became more active.
On another day, the subjects took the same test 90 minutes after eating breakfast. This time, however, their brain activity did not show any significant difference when they saw the two types of food.
In both tests, the subjects were asked what they would most like to eat. Their choices were similar to the results of the brain tests. When they didn’t eat breakfast, they preferred high-calorie choices. When they had had a good breakfast, they didn’t show a strong liking for either type of food.
According to this study, skipping your first meal makes your brain think that you need more calories. You may end up eating more later in the day. So, if you want to lose weight, stop staying hungry in the morning. A good breakfast will help you stay slim and healthy!
17．What did the experiment show about skipping breakfast
A．Skipping breakfast makes people feel less hungry.
B．Skipping breakfast makes the brain think it needs more calories.
C．Skipping breakfast helps people lose weight easily.

（2025·广东广州·二模）Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they experience stronger emotions (情感)
① recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis Museum in Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665.
② The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner (扫描仪) to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop. It was shown that their emotional reactions were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings.
③ By study, people may experience something called a “sustained intentional loop” when they watched a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated again and again. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, and they stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement.
④ The director of the Mauritshuis said the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “It really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
21．What is the purpose of the study
A．To explain different ways to study a painting.
B．To check people’s interest in museum paintings.
C．To find differences between a painting and its photo.
D．To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos.
22．What does the underlined word “It ” refer to
A．The study they made. B．Carrying on this study C．The art in real life. D．Seeing the art in real life.
23．How does the writer introduce the “sustained intentional loop”
A．By giving an example. B．By telling a story.
C．By listing numbers. D．By offering advice.
24．Where should the sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” be put in the blanks of the passage
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
（2025·河北邯郸·三模）Learning social skills is a key part of child development. The good news is that social skills can be taught. It is never too soon to start showing kids how to get along with others. Start with these most basic social skills first. Sharing
A willingness to share a snack or a toy can go a long way towards helping kids make and keep friends. According to a study, children between the ages of 3 and 6 are often selfish when it comes to sharing things that come at a cost. While it’s usually not a good idea to force your child to share, you can point out sharing when you see it. Praise a child for sharing and note how it makes others feel. Making eye contact
Good eye contact (接触) is an important part of communication. If your child struggles (斗争) with eye contact, offer quick reminders after the fact. In a gentle voice, ask, “Where should your eyes go when someone is talking to you ” You don’t want to cause a shy child additional anxiety. And, provide praise when your child remembers to look at people when they are talking. Listening
Listening isn’t just about staying quiet—it means really absorbing what someone else is saying. After all, much of the learning at school depends on a child’s ability to listen to what the teacher is saying. When reading a book to your children, periodically (定期地) stop and ask them to tell you about what you’re reading. Pause and say, “Tell me what you remember about the story so far.” Don’t allow your children to interrupt others when they’re talking.
25．If a mother wants to teach her kid to share, what should she say
A．You are such a selfish child. B．You must learn to share your toys.
C．Your sister doesn’t love a bad kid. D．Your sharing makes your sister happy.
26．What does the underlined word “anxiety” mean
A．being angry with somebody B．being very worried about something
C．being excited about others’ praise D．being too shy to speak with someone
27．What does the writer agree with about listening
A．It’s just about keeping quiet. B．It’s mostly taught at school.
C．It’s more important than sharing. D．It’s important to know what others say.
28．In which part of a newspaper can you find the passage
A．Travel. B．Science. C．Family. D．Health.
（2025·内蒙古鄂尔多斯·三模）Does this sound familiar A workmate asks, “What are you up to this weekend ” You tell her you’re not sure. She replies with her own exciting plan. “I’m going to my lake house to have a big party.”
I call this “boomerasking”. Like a boomerang, boomeraskers ask a question, let their partner answer and then immediately bring the focus of the conversation back to themselves. They try to both show interest in their partner and disclose something about themselves, but they fail to achieve either goal.
We know it is good to show interest in our partners during conversations in many ways—by asking questions, supporting a different opinion, or saying something that relates to what the other person just said. However, self-centredness is tricky to outrun. As humans, we mostly think about our own viewpoint. Between 40% and 60% of what people say in conversations is about themselves—their feelings, opinions, and personal experiences. On social media, it’s even worse—80% of communication is self-related.
For many people, self-disclosure simply feels great. A willingness to open up to others is an important sign of liking and closeness: it shows that you trust someone to know things about you. It’s also the primary way people shape how others think of them. By carefully choosing what to share, we try to seem kind, smart, confident and interesting in our partners’ eyes. And we show off or complain, hoping to receive admiration or understanding.
Still, we recognize that social rules discourage overly self-centred behavior and try to deal with this problem with some indirect habits. People who want others to admire them might pretend to complain while actually showing off, like saying, “I’m tired from all the interviews about my new book.” Others wanting to seem higher position might give mixed praise, like “Your ideas were pretty good, for a beginner.”
But compared with these ways we try to hide our self-centredness, boomer asking may be worse because it reduces the benefits of asking questions.
Asking heartfelt questions, listening to others’ answers and following up on those answers may be the easiest and most powerful pathway to shared understanding and interpersonal connection. Boomer asking breaks the magic. Failing to follow up on your partner’s answer, and answering the question yourself instead, makes others feel like you don’t care about them.
So don’t boomer ask! When another person shares their views, focus on them. We should all aim to be more interested in our partners before we go back to proving how interesting we are ourselves.
29．What will boomer askers do after they ask a question about your hobbies
A．Stop you when you talk and discuss a different topic.
B．Listen to your answer carefully and ask follow-up questions.
C．Pay little attention to your answer and talk about their hobbies.
30．The words “tricky to outrun” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.
A．hard to shake off B．unusual to see C．pleasant to accept
31．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．boomer asking balances caring about others and opening up
B．self-centredness is unwelcome even when expressed indirectly
C．mixed praise is a straight and honest way to express admiration
32．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To guide people in building interesting conversations.
B．To prove the effect of self-centredness in conversations.
C．To encourage better listening and replying in conversations.
（2025·广东广州·三模）The Spring Festival Gala is a very popular show during Chinese New Year. In recent years, the “Yang Bot” show made many people interested. It became one of the most talked-about programs. It was made by Unitree Robotics. This company is really good at making robots. The person behind this great thing is Wang Xingxing. He is the founder of Unitree Robotics, and his story can teach us a lot.
Wang Xingxing liked robots very much when he was a kid. This strong interest made him study things about robots hard. When he went to college, he chose mechanical engineering. He had a clear dream: to make something new in the robotics industry. In college, he didn’t just learn from textbooks. He often went to the library to find new books and research about robots. When he had problems in study or experiments, he was brave and faced them. He knew that only by facing problems could he get better.
After graduating, Wang Xingxing started his own company, Unitree Robotics. At first, it was very hard. There was not enough money, and it was difficult to find good team members. But he didn’t give up. He used his own money to rent a small workshop and looked for people who thought the same way.
He believed in his idea for Unitree Robotics. He wanted to make robots that could do hard jobs and talk to people well. To do this, he needed a team with different skills. So he talked to many people, looking for those who loved robotics and could design.
When making the company’s products, there were lots of technical problems. For example, making robots balance and move easily was very hard. Wang Xingxing and his team worked long hours to fix and make the programs better. Sometimes they worked all night because they wanted to be successful.
After some time, Unitree Robotics became famous. Their products were used in many places, like entertainment, rescue, and delivery. This was a big step for Wang Xingxing and his team. But he knew it was just the start.
Now, Unitree Robotics is becoming a well-known brand around the world because of Wang Xingxing’s strong will and good leadership.

（2025·宁夏吴忠·二模）Yang Zhiyang, a 23-year-old boy, has inspired many young people as he works full-time to take care of his mother, who has ALS (渐冻症). Yang’s mother had the disease in 2012. Yang, then 10, took care of his mother.
Because of the disease, his mother needs help with almost everything. She needs to be carried up and down the stairs. She also has difficulty in speaking. She can still type on her mobile phone, but most of the time, she chooses to communicate with her son in another way.
“My mother and I use eyes for most of our communication,” Yang says. “For example, when she wants to sleep, she uses her eyes to show that she is tired, and she turns her head towards the bedroom. And when she needs water, she will look at the water cup on the table.”
For many things, Yang has to be very careful, including helping her mother bathe and use the toilet. Though the work is difficult, Yang enjoys all the time he spends with his mother. He will be around her every time she exercises. To make it more fun, he often sings to her. “People with ALS are easily tired and often stop exercising. I want to find ways to help her do more training,” Yang says.
Yang’s love for his mother has touched many people. But Yang says it’s only natural that he should take care of his mother. “My mother raised me. I’m just doing what a son should do,” he says.

Between 40% and 60% of what people say in conversations is about themselves”可知，后文解释了人类大多关注自身观点，对话中40%-60% 的内容与自身相关，因此自我中心是很难摆脱。由此推断，划线词“tricky to outrun”意为“难以摆脱”，与“hard to shake off难以摆脱”语义一致。故选A。
