In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. For those three short years, I felt like I was on top of the world.
Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise.
My parents didn’t understand. From what they had known about me when I was younger, they thought that I was perfect, and so I had to be perfect all the time. Their concern grew — they began to search for private teachers and would often talk to me, trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater. I found myself worrying about school all the time. I even questioned myself — who was I, if not the perfect student
Watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics made me think of myself. Simone Biles was the GOAT (greatest of all time). If there was any person we knew we could count on to win, it was Simone.
Unlike me, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self- reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her. Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not becoming the best, I need to learn from Simone and be kind to myself by taking a break or even asking for help if need be.
24. How did the author feel in high school
A. Bored and tired. B. Nervous and anxious. C. Confident and proud. D. Excited and surprised.
25. What can we say about the author’s parents
A. They had great expectations of the author. B. They fully understood the author’s situation.
C. They managed to lower the author’s pressure. D. They pushed the author to learn from Simone Biles.
26. How did Simone Biles influence the author
A. She encouraged the author never to give up.
B. She taught the author useful self- reflective skills.
C. She showed the author the true meaning of perfection.
D. She made the author realize the value of mental health.
27. What is the best title for this text
A. Pressure: how much is too much
B. Simone Biles: the GOAT of the Olympics
C. Simone Biles, me, and the pressure of perfection
D. How do schools improve the mental health of students
C
DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in Britain. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in Britain, “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. A large number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn (经济衰退) at present, many people cannot afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions (操作指南). Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions (意图), many of them may not get finished.
DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in Britain, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off (咬掉) more than we can chew (咀嚼). Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
28. What is the meaning of DIY
A Do some shopping. B. Play a game. C. Play a joke. D. Do it yourself.
29. How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage
A. Making their homes beautiful. B. Visiting their friends.
C. Travelling all over the world. D. Making a lot of money.
30. Why do English people like DIY
A. Many stores sell DIY things. B. DIY can bring them fun.
C. TV programmes teach them to DIY. D. All DIY projects are easy.
31. In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means .
A. We can eat everything we like. B. We should do something difficult.
C. We do something that is too difficult. D. We eat too much food that is not safe.
D
In today’s world, many young people spend a lot of time on screens. They watch videos, play games, and chat with friends on their phones or computers. While technology is useful, too much screen time can be bad for both physical and mental health.
Firstly, looking at screens for a long time can hurt your eyes and make it difficult to sleep well at night. The light from screens tricks your brain into thinking it is still daytime.

Thirdly, spending too much time in the online world can sometimes make people feel lonely or anxious in the real world.
So, what is a healthy amount of screen time Doctors suggest that young people should have no more than two hours of screen time for fun each day. It is important to take breaks, like the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Try to find other activities you enjoy, such as reading a book, playing a sport, or talking face-to-face with family and friends. Balancing screen time with other activities will help you live a happier and healthier life.
32. How can screen light affect sleep
A It makes people dream more.
B. It makes the brain think it’s daytime.
C. It makes people feel too tired to sleep.
D. It makes the room too bright.
33. What is the 20-20-20 rule

B. Play games for 20 minutes and then rest for 20 seconds.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Improve Your Focus While Studying
Many students find it difficult to focus when they are studying. With so many distractions around, like phones and noise, it’s easy to lose concentration. ____36____ Here are some simple tips that can help you focus better and make your study time more effective.
First, find a quiet and comfortable place to study. It could be a desk in your room, a library, or any place where you won’t be easily interrupted. ____37____ This means turning off the TV and putting your phone on silent mode or in another room. When you remove these distractions, your brain can pay full attention to your work.
____38____ Trying to study for hours without a break can actually make you tired and less productive. A good method is the “Pomodoro Technique”. You study for 25 minutes, and then you take a short 5-minute break. After four such sessions, you can take a longer break of 15 — 20 minutes. During your break, you can stretch, get a drink, or just relax.
Another helpful way is to set clear goals for each study session. Instead of just saying “I will study math,” tell yourself “I will finish these 10 math problems.” ____39____ It feels great to see what you have achieved, and this will keep you motivated.
Finally, make sure you get enough sleep and eat healthy food. Your brain is like an engine; it needs good fuel to run properly. If you are tired or hungry, it is much harder to concentrate. ____40____ By taking care of your body, you are also preparing your mind for successful studying.
Remember, improving your focus takes time and practice. Start with one or two of these tips, and you will slowly see a difference.
A. This will help you stay focused on your task.
B. However, there are ways to solve this problem.
C. Listening to music can help some people concentrate.
D. It is also important to take regular breaks while studying.
E. A healthy body and mind are the basics of good concentration.
F. You should also avoid things that might take your attention away.
G. Having a goal makes your study more purposeful and manageable.

Please come to the Students’ Union office to sign up before September 15th if you want to take part in any of the activities. The music week will be held in the garden to the left of the library.

In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. For those three short years, I felt like I was on top of the world.
Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise.
My parents didn’t understand. From what they had known about me when I was younger, they thought that I was perfect, and so I had to be perfect all the time. Their concern grew — they began to search for private teachers and would often talk to me, trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater. I found myself worrying about school all the time. I even questioned myself — who was I, if not the perfect student
Watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics made me think of myself. Simone Biles was the GOAT (greatest of all time). If there was any person we knew we could count on to win, it was Simone.
Unlike me, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self- reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her. Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not becoming the best, I need to learn from Simone and be kind to myself by taking a break or even asking for help if need be.

25. What can we say about the author’s parents

C. They managed to lower the author’s pressure. D. They pushed the author to learn from Simone Biles.
26. How did Simone Biles influence the author
A. She encouraged the author never to give up.
B. She taught the author useful self- reflective skills.
C. She showed the author the true meaning of perfection.
D. She made the author realize the value of mental health.
27. What is the best title for this text
A. Pressure: how much is too much
B. Simone Biles: the GOAT of the Olympics
C. Simone Biles, me, and the pressure of perfection
D. How do schools improve the mental health of students

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in Britain. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in Britain, “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. A large number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn (经济衰退) at present, many people cannot afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions (操作指南). Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions (意图), many of them may not get finished.
DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in Britain, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off (咬掉) more than we can chew (咀嚼). Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
28. What is the meaning of DIY
A Do some shopping. B. Play a game. C. Play a joke. D. Do it yourself.
29. How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage
A. Making their homes beautiful. B. Visiting their friends.
C. Travelling all over the world. D. Making a lot of money.
30. Why do English people like DIY
A. Many stores sell DIY things. B. DIY can bring them fun.
C. TV programmes teach them to DIY. D. All DIY projects are easy.
31. In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means .
A. We can eat everything we like. B. We should do something difficult.
C. We do something that is too difficult. D. We eat too much food that is not safe.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C

In today’s world, many young people spend a lot of time on screens. They watch videos, play games, and chat with friends on their phones or computers. While technology is useful, too much screen time can be bad for both physical and mental health.

Try to find other activities you enjoy, such as reading a book, playing a sport, or talking face-to-face with family and friends. Balancing screen time with other activities will help you live a happier and healthier life.

How to Improve Your Focus While Studying
Many students find it difficult to focus when they are studying. With so many distractions around, like phones and noise, it’s easy to lose concentration. ____36____ Here are some simple tips that can help you focus better and make your study time more effective.
First, find a quiet and comfortable place to study. It could be a desk in your room, a library, or any place where you won’t be easily interrupted. ____37____ This means turning off the TV and putting your phone on silent mode or in another room. When you remove these distractions, your brain can pay full attention to your work.
____38____ Trying to study for hours without a break can actually make you tired and less productive. A good method is the “Pomodoro Technique”. You study for 25 minutes, and then you take a short 5-minute break. After four such sessions, you can take a longer break of 15 — 20 minutes. During your break, you can stretch, get a drink, or just relax.
Another helpful way is to set clear goals for each study session. Instead of just saying “I will study math,” tell yourself “I will finish these 10 math problems.” ____39____ It feels great to see what you have achieved, and this will keep you motivated.
Finally, make sure you get enough sleep and eat healthy food. Your brain is like an engine; it needs good fuel to run properly. If you are tired or hungry, it is much harder to concentrate. ____40____ By taking care of your body, you are also preparing your mind for successful studying.
Remember, improving your focus takes time and practice. Start with one or two of these tips, and you will slowly see a difference.
A. This will help you stay focused on your task.
B. However, there are ways to solve this problem.
C. Listening to music can help some people concentrate.
D. It is also important to take regular breaks while studying.
E. A healthy body and mind are the basics of good concentration.
F. You should also avoid things that might take your attention away.
G. Having a goal makes your study more purposeful and manageable.
