I am someone who is outgoing, chatty and friendly. I can appreciate that at first glance I do not appear to be any different from anyone else. Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的)，that is entirely down to masking. The only reason I don’t “look like” the traits associated with autism (自闭症) is because I am often forcing myself to appear “normal”. Not all autistic people do this, but I do.
I smile whenever I want to bang my head against the wall and scream. I say, “Oh, that’s fine!” when a restaurant doesn’t have what I want, and the loss makes me feel like my skin is on fire. I force myself to make eye contact, laugh and focus on conversations. But sometimes I can’t maintain it. Sometimes, overwhelmed by unexpected impulses (冲动), my mask slips. How somebody responds to me in those moments tells me everything I need to know about their view of autistic people.
I assume that there is a lack of understanding. When people become annoyed that I cancel plans, or when I freak out (极度不安) when I experience new or strange sounds and tastes, they undoubtedly lack empathy. In these moments, I can see any acceptance of autistic people from these kinds of people is for show. It is easy to say that you support autistic people; but if you are only supportive when that person presents as neurotypical, then that isn’t real support.
So, telling me that I “don’t look autistic” is more denial than it is a praise. Someone shouldn’t have to “look autistic” for you to believe they are autistic, nor should anyone receive more support just because they pass as neurotypical. We are all cupcakes, whether we look like it or not, and are all equally deserving of empathy and support.
24．Why doesn’t the author appear autistic
A．He feels comfortable with himself. B．He has good people skills.
C．He tries to behave normally. D．He is recovering from autism.
25．What does the author think about the way autistic people are treated
A．They are given a lot of support.
B．They deserve real care and concern.
C．They are taught to control their impulses.
D．They are supported like normal people.
26．How does the author feel when being told he doesn’t look autistic
A．Delighted. B．Surprised. C．Encouraged. D．Uncomfortable.
27．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text
A．To call for more understanding of autistic people.
B．To show his empathy for all those with autism.
C．To share his experience as someone with autism.
D．To remove misunderstandings about autistic people.
C
Emergency Mask Pod(面罩舱) is a plastic, 3D-printed and football-shaped case that contains a mask that protects the lungs of someone trapped in a fire until they were rescued. Alexis got the idea for the Emergency Mask Pod after hearing that a mother had thrown her baby out of the second floor window of their smoke-filled apartment during a fire in the building. The family was trapped in their apartment by the smoke.
Alexis wondered whether there was a means for people waiting outside, such as neighbors and first responders, to deliver smoke masks to people trapped in the second floors of burning buildings. Her research showed that there was no such delivery system, so Alexis set about to invent one.
First, she found a small, lightweight smoke mask. The next step was to develop a way to launch or throw the mask up into an open second-story window. Alexis built several different pods, which were tested by local firefighters. Each pod was cast into a second story window more than 290 times by a total of 37 firefighters. The football-shaped pod, which Alexis printed on her MakerBot 3D printer, was the clear winner, with an accuracy rate of over 70 percent.
The firefighters testing the Emergency Mask Pod told her that it is needed by firefighters arriving at the scene of a fire. They told Alexis that when they find people trapped inside, they wish they could give them some form of relief so they can breathe safely while firefighters try to reach them. A smoke delivery system could be used to provide that relief.
The Emergency Mask Pod requires no special equipment, training, or permits; people at the scene of a fire could help fire victims(受害者) trapped inside smoky rooms without hesitation. EMTs, police officers, and firefighters could keep the mask and EM Pod in their vehicles and apartment complexes could store them in approachable places like community centers. The mask could easily be retrieved by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives.
28. Why is the Emergency Mask Pod invented
A. To improve the design of smoke masks.
B. To provide a way to deliver smoke masks.
C. To help firefighters practice throwing skills.
D. To protect first responders’ eyes from smoke.
29. How did Alexis test the effectiveness of different pods
A. By burning them in the local fire departments.
B. By studying different materials for making pods.
C. By doing a survey of people trapped in a fire before.
D. By having firefighters throw them into windows many times.
30. Which word is closest in meaning to “retrieved” in the last paragraph
A. Returned. B. Accessed. C. Relieved. D. Launched.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Surviving the Flame: New Rescue Skills
B. Smoke and Masks: The Future of Fire Safety
C. A Lifeline through the Smoke: The Mask Pod
D. Breaking through Barriers: Firefighters’ Creations.
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers(同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning(扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks(牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
13. What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Make sense. B. Face doubts.
C. Bring relief. D. Start debates.
33. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
34. How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
35. What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom
A. Conduct group discussion. B. Improve time management.
C. Encourage personal opinions. D. Develop decision-making skills.

Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is a necessary process for maintaining the health of the human body. 36 Here are four research-backed reasons why this salt-based fluid(液体) can benefit you.
Sweating is good for your skin.
Sweat is known to cool the skin, bringing toxins(毒素) to the surface and giving the skin a healthy glow. Research shows that sweating can increase and maintain skin hydration. However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne(痤疮). 37
Sweating makes you happy.
When you are hot, your heart beats faster to cool the body, releasing endorphins that cause feelings of joy. 38 In a recent study, people who smelled “joyful sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness. However, those exposed to fear-induced sweat showed characteristics of terror.
Sweating supports your heart.
When sitting in a sauna(桑拿), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating. 39 A 20-year Finnish study found that people who sweated it out regularly in a sauna had a lower rate of sudden cardiac(心脏的) deaths.
40
If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign. Athletes tend to sweat sooner and more than inactive people. Their bodies have learned to cool down more efficiently during physical activity. A study conducted by the Public Library of Science supports this, showing that long-distance runners not only got sweatier sooner, but also activated more sweat glands(汗腺), resulting in more sweat than their non-active counterparts.
A. And you’ll be better off for it.
B. Sweating a lot means that you are fit.
C. Thus, it’s essential to wash your face and body after sweating.
D. Sweat is the stuff that floods out when our body temperature rises.
E. Sweating contributes to a decrease in blood pressure to some extent.
F. Your sweaty self can also make those around you feel more delightful.
G. This is a natural bodily function that helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.

Here I was, sitting in the roller coaster (过山车) cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth. My friends shouted in excitement, while I shakily 41 my hands on my shorts. “How can you be so excited when...”
My words caught in my throat and melted into screams as the roller coaster suddenly 42 forward. It was the fastest 43 I had ever experienced in my life: 128 miles per hour. I screamed at the top of my

46 , close to the highest part of the hump, I 47 a little. My screams became less terrified and more energetic. Once we reached the 48 of the hump, I could almost touch the sky.
And then we were spiraling (盘旋) downwards, curving and twisting and 49 towards Earth at the same speed. 50 I realized it, we had already met the ground. It was a thirty-second-long ride. I managed to 51 the entire ride without a breakdown.
I gasped in surprise. It was over. I had not only survived the ride—I had 52 it. My friend turned to me, her eyes 53 . “Are you ready for the next roller coaster ”
My head felt light as we walked away from the ride spinning with something I didn’t 54 recognize. It took me a few minutes to put a name to it — thrill. “I’m ready for anything.”
Until today, that 55 ride that I went on 20 years ago is still kept alive in my memory.

It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.

Smartphone addiction among teenagers
Nowadays, smartphone addiction among teenagers has become a prevalent issue. One main reason is that smartphones offer a wide range of entertainment, like games and social media, which attract teenagers easily. The consequence is that it affects their study and physical health, such as causing poor eyesight and lack of concentration.
To address this problem, first, parents should set a good example by reducing their own phone - use time and spending more quality time with their children. Second, schools can organize more offline activities to draw students' attention away from smartphones.
In conclusion, it's high time we took measures to prevent teenagers from being overly addicted to smartphones.

A possible version
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. “There should be a lot of money in it. This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mina came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind.2025学年高二入学考试 英语

Well, first of all, welcome to Cardiff University. Now, as a new student at the university, you will probably need some sort of guidance to help you to use the library. Some of you have asked about a guided tour, but we find this rather confuses people. So, in this first week, we run a series of talks. OK, now let me give you an outline of what's available to you. You'll find that the computers are increasingly used as a research tool. The library computers are permanently online. Having found what you need, you'll find you can readily save texts on your personal computer space to print off when you need them. Naturally, we do still have a full range of classical reference books for you to use, but you can just keep them for a certain time so that they will not disappear from the shelves for too long.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，介绍儿童喜欢的科学图书。
【21题详解】细节理解题。根据About Time: A First Look at Time and Clocks的“Long ago people used the sun, the moon, and the water to tell time.”（很久以前，人们用太阳、月亮和水来报时）可知，孩子们可以在《关于时间》这本书中了解过去计算时间的方法。故选C项。
【22题详解】推理判断题。根据Animalium: Welcome to the Museum中“Discover the animal kingdom in glorious detail with unique illustrations”（用独特的插图探索动物王国的辉煌细节）和Bang!: How We Came to Be中“So begins this beautifully illustrated story of evolution”（于是，这个插图精美的进化故事开始了）可知，这两本书中都有插图用来描述故事。故选D项。

B
I am someone who is outgoing, chatty and friendly. I can appreciate that at first glance I do not appear to be any different from anyone else. Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的)，that is entirely down to masking. The only reason I don’t “look like” the traits associated with autism (自闭症) is because I am often forcing myself to appear “normal”. Not all autistic people do this, but I do.
I smile whenever I want to bang my head against the wall and scream. I say, “Oh, that’s fine!” when a restaurant doesn’t have what I want, and the loss makes me feel like my skin is on fire. I force myself to make eye contact, laugh and focus on conversations. But sometimes I can’t maintain it. Sometimes, overwhelmed by unexpected impulses (冲动), my mask slips. How somebody responds to me in those moments tells me everything I need to know about their view of autistic people.
I assume that there is a lack of understanding. When people become annoyed that I cancel plans, or when I freak out (极度不安) when I experience new or strange sounds and tastes, they undoubtedly lack empathy. In these moments, I can see any acceptance of autistic people from these kinds of people is for show. It is easy to say that you support autistic people; but if you are only supportive when that person presents as neurotypical, then that isn’t real support.
So, telling me that I “don’t look autistic” is more denial than it is a praise. Someone shouldn’t have to “look autistic” for you to believe they are autistic, nor should anyone receive more support just because they pass as neurotypical. We are all cupcakes, whether we look like it or not, and are all equally deserving of empathy and support.

【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．A
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文章。这篇文章主要讲述了作者作为一位自闭症人士，在社交中为了表现得“正常”而做出的努力和牺牲。文章强调，判断一个人是否是自闭症不应仅以其外表为依据，而是应给予所有人平等的关怀和支持。
【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的)，that is entirely down to masking. The only reason I don’t “look like” the traits associated with autism (自闭症) is because I am often forcing myself to appear “normal”. (尽管我表现得像一个神经正常的人，这完全是因为我在掩饰。我之所以不显得有自闭症的特征，是因为我经常在强迫自己表现得“正常”。)”可知，作者看起来不像自闭症的原因是作者经常迫使自己表现得“正常”。故选C。
【25题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“In these moments, I can see any acceptance of autistic people from these kinds of people is for show. It is easy to say that you support autistic people; but if you are only supportive when that person presents as neurotypical, then that isn’t real support.(在这些时刻，我可以看到这些人对自闭症患者的任何接受都是为了作秀。说你支持自闭症患者很容易；但如果你只是在那个人表现出神经正常的时候才给予支持，那就不是真正的支持。)”可知，作者认为这些人对自闭症患者的接受只是为了炫耀，只有当事人表现得神经正常时才给予支持并不是真正的支持。因此，作者认为自闭症患者应该得到真正的关心和关注。故选B。
【26题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“So, telling me that I “don’t look autistic” is more denial than it is a praise. (所以，告诉我“我看起来不像自闭症”与其说是一种赞美，不如说是一种否认。)”可知，当作者被告知自己“看起来不像自闭症”时，作者认为这是否定而非赞扬。因此，作者感到不舒服。故选D。
【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“ Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的)，that is entirely down to masking.(尽管我把自己表现得像个典型的正常人，但这完全是伪装的结果。)”以及第二段中的“How somebody responds to me in those moments tells me everything I need to know about their view of autistic people.(人们在那些时刻对我的反应告诉了我所有我需要知道的关于他们对自闭症患者的看法。)”和第三段中的“I assume that there is a lack of understanding.( 我认为你们之间缺乏理解。)”以及最后一段中的“We are all cupcakes, whether we look like it or not, and are all equally deserving of empathy and support.( 我们都是纸杯蛋糕，不管我们看起来像不像，我们都同样值得同情和支持。)”可知，作者通过自身的经历和感受，希望人们对自闭症患者有更多的了解和理解。因此，本文的目的是呼吁更多理解自闭症患者。故选A。
C
Emergency Mask Pod(面罩舱) is a plastic, 3D-printed and football-shaped case that contains a mask that protects the lungs of someone trapped in a fire until they were rescued. Alexis got the idea for the Emergency Mask Pod after hearing that a mother had thrown her baby out of the second floor window of their smoke-filled apartment during a fire in the building. The family was trapped in their apartment by the smoke.
Alexis wondered whether there was a means for people waiting outside, such as neighbors and first responders, to deliver smoke masks to people trapped in the second floors of burning buildings. Her research showed that there was no such delivery system, so Alexis set about to invent one.
First, she found a small, lightweight smoke mask. The next step was to develop a way to launch or throw the mask up into an open second-story window. Alexis built several different pods, which were tested by local firefighters. Each pod was cast into a second story window more than 290 times by a total of 37 firefighters. The football-shaped pod, which Alexis printed on her MakerBot 3D printer, was the clear winner, with an accuracy rate of over 70 percent.
The firefighters testing the Emergency Mask Pod told her that it is needed by firefighters arriving at the scene of a fire. They told Alexis that when they find people trapped inside, they wish they could give them some form of relief so they can breathe safely while firefighters try to reach them. A smoke delivery system could be used to provide that relief.
The Emergency Mask Pod requires no special equipment, training, or permits; people at the scene of a fire could help fire victims(受害者) trapped inside smoky rooms without hesitation. EMTs, police officers, and firefighters could keep the mask and EM Pod in their vehicles and apartment complexes could store them in approachable places like community centers. The mask could easily be retrieved by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives.
28. Why is the Emergency Mask Pod invented
A. To improve the design of smoke masks.
B. To provide a way to deliver smoke masks.
C. To help firefighters practice throwing skills.
D. To protect first responders’ eyes from smoke.
29. How did Alexis test the effectiveness of different pods
A. By burning them in the local fire departments.
B. By studying different materials for making pods.
C. By doing a survey of people trapped in a fire before.
D. By having firefighters throw them into windows many times.
30. Which word is closest in meaning to “retrieved” in the last paragraph
A. Returned. B. Accessed. C. Relieved. D. Launched.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Surviving the Flame: New Rescue Skills
B. Smoke and Masks: The Future of Fire Safety
C. A Lifeline through the Smoke: The Mask Pod
D. Breaking through Barriers: Firefighters’ Creations.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. C
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种3D打印的足球形状的面罩舱，这种面罩舱能够通过一种方法被投射到火灾地点，从而帮助受灾群众赢得一些获救的时间和机会。
【28题详解】细节理解题。第二段提到“Alexis wondered whether there was a means for people waiting outside, such as neighbors and first responders, to deliver smoke masks to people trapped in the second floors of burning buildings. Her research showed that there was no such delivery system, so Alexis set about to invent one.”(亚历克西斯想知道，是否有办法让等待在外面的人，比如邻居和急救人员，给被困在燃烧建筑物二楼的人送去防烟口罩。她的研究表明，没有这样的输送系统，所以亚历克西斯着手发明一个。)可知，亚力克西斯的研究发现，虽然有防烟口罩，但是没有这样的输送系统，这样也影响了火灾救援的效果，因此她想要发明一种方式来运送这种防烟口罩。故选B。
【29题详解】细节理解题。第三段第三、四句提到“Alexis built several different pods, which were tested by local firefighters. Each pod was cast into a second story window more than 290 times by a total of 37 firefighters.”(亚历克西斯建造了几个不同的吊舱，由当地消防员进行了测试。每个吊舱被37名消防员扔进二楼窗户290多次。)由此判断，亚力克西斯是通过让消防员扔来测试其有效性的。故选D。
【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“......by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives.”(可以很容易地被受害者并戴上，为消防员拯救他们提供了宝贵的时间，并可能挽救数百或数千人的生命。)可知，这种面具如果要能很快地被受害者戴上的话，一定要能够方便受害者得到，这样才能为消防员的解救争取时间，retrieved在此处的意思是“取回”，与“accessed”(接近；获取)意思最接近。A. Returned.归还；B. Accessed.接近；获取；C. Relieved.缓解；减轻；D. Launched.发射。B项与划线词意思最为接近。故选B。
【31题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一段通过一个让人痛心的事情引出亚克力西斯对于emergency mask pod的想法，包括如何更加有效地投放面罩，其中最后一段提出“The mask could easily be retrieved by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives.”(这种面具可以很容易地被受害者收回并戴上，为消防员拯救他们提供了宝贵的时间，并可能挽救数百或数千人的生命。)可知，文章主要介绍了Emergency Mask Pod的发明及其在火灾中的重要作用，C项“A Lifeline through the Smoke: The Mask Pod”(穿越烟雾的生命线：面罩舱)符合文意。故选C。
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers(同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning(扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks(牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
32. What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Make sense. B. Face doubts.
C. Bring relief. D. Start debates.
33. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
34. How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
35. What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom
A. Conduct group discussion. B. Improve time management.
C. Encourage personal opinions. D. Develop decision-making skills.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年与同龄人在一起时更容易冒险的原因，并通过实验表明同龄人的影响也会促使青少年在学习方面取得更好的表现，专家建议利用青少年对朋友的敏感来促进教育。
【32题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water.”(青少年的父母往往不信任他们孩子的朋友，担心他们的孩子会被同龄人怂恿去做一些愚蠢甚至危险的事情。他们的担忧hold water。)和下文“In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.”(在之前的一项研究中，心理学家劳伦斯·斯坦伯格发现，与单独驾驶或与成年人驾驶相比，与同龄乘客一起驾驶的青少年司机发生交通事故的风险更高。)可知，下文用一项研究结论来说明青少年与同龄人在一起时，做一些愚蠢甚至危险的事情，发生意外的可能性确实更高，所以“父母的担心是有道理的”，hold water与make sense意思相近，意为“有道理”。故选A项。
【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.”(当人们体验到一些有益的东西时，大脑的奖励系统就会被激活，比如吃到美味的食物，这会让他们感到满足。在这种情况下，青少年获得的奖励更大，这促使他们寻求更高风险的体验。)可知，青少年之所以会有危险行为，是因为他们寻求奖励，寻求满足感，所以获得满足感是青少年危险行为背后的原因。故选B项。
【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.”(有同伴的玩家更愿意冒险，试图找出哪些牌组可以帮助他们获胜。结果表明，与同龄人一起玩的青少年比单独玩的青少年更有探索行为，学习速度更快，在任务中表现更好。)可知，在最新的研究中，有同伴的玩家更愿意冒险，而这种冒险可以帮助青少年学得更快，表现更好。故选D项。
【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education.”(现在，一些专家建议，我们应该利用青少年对朋友在场的敏锐感知来改善教育。)和Blakemore的话“Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,”(在教育背景下，冒险是一项重要的技能，它能够促进进步和创造力的发展。)可推知，Blakemore会建议教师在课堂上进行小组讨论等活动，利用青少年对朋友在场的敏锐感知来提高他们的冒险精神和创造力。故选A项。
第二节 (共5 小题，每小题2.5分，满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is a necessary process for maintaining the health of the human body. 36 Here are four research-backed reasons why this salt-based fluid(液体) can benefit you.
Sweating is good for your skin.
Sweat is known to cool the skin, bringing toxins(毒素) to the surface and giving the skin a healthy glow. Research shows that sweating can increase and maintain skin hydration. However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne(痤疮). 37
Sweating makes you happy.
When you are hot, your heart beats faster to cool the body, releasing endorphins that cause feelings of joy. 38 In a recent study, people who smelled “joyful sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness. However, those exposed to fear-induced sweat showed characteristics of terror.
Sweating supports your heart.
When sitting in a sauna(桑拿), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating. 39 A 20-year Finnish study found that people who sweated it out regularly in a sauna had a lower rate of sudden cardiac(心脏的) deaths.
40
If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign. Athletes tend to sweat sooner and more than inactive people. Their bodies have learned to cool down more efficiently during physical activity. A study conducted by the Public Library of Science supports this, showing that long-distance runners not only got sweatier sooner, but also activated more sweat glands(汗腺), resulting in more sweat than their non-active counterparts.
A. And you’ll be better off for it.
B. Sweating a lot means that you are fit.
C. Thus, it’s essential to wash your face and body after sweating.
D. Sweat is the stuff that floods out when our body temperature rises.
E. Sweating contributes to a decrease in blood pressure to some extent.
F. Your sweaty self can also make those around you feel more delightful.
G. This is a natural bodily function that helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.
【答案】36. G 37. C 38. F 39. A 40. B
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章从四个方面解释了为什么出汗有好处。
【36题详解】前一句“Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is necessary.(出汗可能不是你最喜欢做的事情，但它是必要的)”提到，出汗是必要的，G项“这是一种自然的身体功能，有助于调节体温，防止过热”是对sweating的一个整体性的介绍性文字，其中的“It”指代前一句中“Sweating”，同时也是对前一句中“necessary”的进一步解释，故选G。
【37题详解】根据本段小标题“Sweating is good for your skin.(出汗对你的皮肤有好处)”和前一句“However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne.(然而，汗液在皮肤上停留太长时间会导致痤疮等皮肤病)”可知，本段讲出汗对皮肤的好处，但是皮肤上停留太长时间会导致痤疮等皮肤病，由此推知，设空处应与清洗有关，C项“所以，出汗后洗脸和洗澡是很有必要的”符合语境，和前一句构成因果关系，故选C。
【38题详解】根据本段小标题“Sweating makes you happy.(出汗让你快乐)”和空后一句“In a 2015 study, people who smelled “happy sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness.(在2015年的一项研究中，闻到‘快乐汗水’的人表现出与幸福相关的倾向)”可知，本段主要讲出汗让人感到快乐，闻到“快乐汗水”的人也会快乐，F项“汗流浃背的自己也会让你周围的人感到更快乐”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】根据上文“When sitting in a sauna(桑拿), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating.”(当你坐在桑拿浴室里时，你的体温会升高，所以你的身体会超时工作，通过出汗来降温)可知，选项承接上文说明其好处。故A选项“你会感觉更好”切题。故选A项。
【40题详解】根据本段中“If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign.(如果你在运动中大量出汗，这通常是一个积极的迹象)”可知，本段是讲出汗多是一个积极的迹象，B项“出汗多意味着你很健康”符合语境，B项中的“a lot”和段落中“heavily”、“got sweatier”、“more sweat”相关，故选B。
第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分 30分)
第一节 完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Here I was, sitting in the roller coaster (过山车) cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth. My friends shouted in excitement, while I shakily 41 my hands on my shorts. “How can you be so excited when...”
My words caught in my throat and melted into screams as the roller coaster suddenly 42 forward. It was the fastest 43 I had ever experienced in my life: 128 miles per hour. I screamed at the top of my
44 as fear froze me up from inside. We rapidly moved up the skinny hump (驼峰) rising into the clouds at a ninety degree angle, having crossed the track bringing us forward in mere 45 .
46 , close to the highest part of the hump, I 47 a little. My screams became less terrified and more energetic. Once we reached the 48 of the hump, I could almost touch the sky.
And then we were spiraling (盘旋) downwards, curving and twisting and 49 towards Earth at the same speed. 50 I realized it, we had already met the ground. It was a thirty-second-long ride. I managed to 51 the entire ride without a breakdown.
I gasped in surprise. It was over. I had not only survived the ride—I had 52 it. My friend turned to me, her eyes 53 . “Are you ready for the next roller coaster ”
My head felt light as we walked away from the ride spinning with something I didn’t 54 recognize. It took me a few minutes to put a name to it — thrill. “I’m ready for anything.”
Until today, that 55 ride that I went on 20 years ago is still kept alive in my memory.
41. A. wiped B. waved C. joined D. cleaned
42. A. removed B. rocketed C. struggled D. marched

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A possible version
Nowadays, smartphone addiction among teenagers has become a prevalent issue. One main reason is that smartphones offer a wide range of entertainment, like games and social media, which attract teenagers easily. The consequence is that it affects their study and physical health, such as causing poor eyesight and lack of concentration.
To address this problem, first, parents should set a good example by reducing their own phone - use time and spending more quality time with their children. Second, schools can organize more offline activities to draw students' attention away from smartphones.
In conclusion, it's high time we took measures to prevent teenagers from being overly addicted to smartphones.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.

【答案】
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. “There should be a lot of money in it. This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind.
