My parents have a big cat at home named Comet. He has big ears, a large head, huge feet, and a gentle personality
— but we have no way of knowing for sure. He came from the local animal shelter. My brother and I didn’t really
want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more
likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted.
We brought Comet home that day. He soon fell ill and grew alarmingly weak — his ribs stuck out, his eyes
swelled, and his fur dulled. He became so fragile that I feared touching him, though he clearly needed care.
Some years later, I went home one afternoon after having had an emotional breakdown. My whole life was
upside down. I felt hollow, dead, an empty shell of a person. I had no idea what pieces were even worth picking up
again.
I found Comet curled up in a corner that afternoon. He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me
when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He nuzzled it, immediately burst into a deep, loud purr, and gave me a
perfectly content cat grin. I moved my hand down to scratch his back and sides, and he stretched luxuriously, giving
me looks of absolute adoration.
At that point, it hit me: this cat loved me. The cat I didn’t want, the cat I couldn’t bear to take care of when his
life depended on it, loved me. And he would always love me. No matter what was going on in my life, Comet would
still look up from a nap when I entered the room, would still love to be touched by me.
I believe love is steadfast. I believe that real love, whether it comes from your families, or a shelter cat, is offered
determinedly and unconditionally. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on.
24. Why was the writer unwilling to adopt Comet initially?
A. He thought adult cats were more gentle. B. His sister resisted adopting Comet.
C. Kittens were thought easier to be adopted. D. Comet was a weak and sick kitten.
25. How did Comet help the writer go through his emotional breakdown?
A. By lying quietly beside him. B. By making him feel deeply loved.
C. By distracting him with grins. D. By protecting him from loneliness.26. What does the underlined word “steadfast” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Faithful. B. Romantic. C. Temporary. D. Unforgettable.
27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Love wins all B. Love on four feet
C. An encounter with a kitten D. A rescue of a shelter kitten
C
Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join.
There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before
you can figure out your plans for the concert.
If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to
invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure
whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone
extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.”
Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to
their invitation.
Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to
something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (
有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear
“maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open.
Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset,
anger and disappoint inviters.
However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When
recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to
realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t
want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant.
While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce
your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when
the next concert comes to town.
28. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning?
A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies.
C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation.
29. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation?A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication.
C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation.
30. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships.
C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Psychology behind “Maybe” B. The Hidden Consequence of “Maybe”
C. “Maybe”: A Polite Escape from Conflict D. “Maybe”: A Perfect Solution to Invitations
D
Why do some people feel such a strong bond with celebrities, and what does this reveal about their personality
and values? A new study published in the International Journal of Psychology has found that people who strongly
admire celebrities tend to score higher in both materialism and narcissism (自恋). The study also found that people
who perceive themselves as similar to their favorite celebrity are more likely to have these attitudes.
The study, conducted by Davis, Locker, and Williams, recruited 215 undergraduates, mostly women, who
completed a battery of questionnaires measuring their attitudes toward celebrities, materialistic values, and narcissistic
tendencies. Participants also answered newly created questions that assessed how similar they felt to their favorite
celebrity in terms of personality, appearance, or lifestyle.
Celebrity worship was assessed with the Celebrity Attitude Scale (量表). Materialism was measured by examining
how much value people place on owning things, how important possessions are to their identity, and whether they
believe material goods make them happier. Narcissism was measured in two forms: grandiose narcissism (characterized
by confidence, entitlement, and dominance) and vulnerable narcissism (marked by insecurity, sensitivity to criticism,
and a preoccupation with self-image).
The results showed a consistent relationship between celebrity worship and materialism. People who scored
higher on celebrity worship also tended to place greater importance on money, status, and possessions. When it came
to narcissism, only the vulnerable type, people with higher levels of emotional insecurity and self-focus, were more
likely to feel strongly connected to celebrities. Most importantly, perceived similarity — whether in appearance,
behavior, or personality — stood out as one of the strongest predictors of celebrity worship.
The researchers concluded, “celebrity worship is a complex construct, but perceived similarity with a favorite
celebrity and vulnerable narcissism may be fruitful avenues for future research.” Still, an important question remains:
do people idolize celebrities because they already feel similar to them, or do they start to see themselves as similar
after forming an emotional attachment?
32. What is paragraph 2 about?A. The research background. B. The research subjects.
C. The research results. D. The research method.
33. According to the study, who are more likely to worship celebrities?
A. Those indifferent to wealth and social status.
B. Those valuing self-confidence and dominance.
C. Those emotionally insecure and self-focused.
D. Those seeking spiritual growth beyond possessions.
34. According to the researchers, what might be a direction of future research?
A. Celebrity worship. B. Grandiose narcissism.
C. Materialism. D. Perceived similarity.
35. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To explain celebrity worship psychology.
B. To warn against the dangers of celebrity culture.
C. To criticize celebrity materialism and narcissism.
D. To describe scales for measuring personality traits.

Why Do Electric Vehicles Make People More Carsick?
With electric vehicles (EVs) gaining significant popularity globally — accounting for 22% of new car sales in
2024 — many passengers report experiencing increased motion sickness compared to traditional vehicles. Social
media platforms are filled with such personal experiences, particularly from those riding in passenger or back seats.
___36___
A primary reason for this phenomenon is the lack of familiarity with EV motion patterns. As William Emond, a
PhD researcher in France specializing in motion sickness, explains, people’s brains heavily depend on past experiences
to predict and interpret motion. ___37___ For instance, experienced drivers naturally expect acceleration after
hearing engine revs in fuel-powered cars, but EVs operate without such familiar auditory signals.
___38___ Recent research indicates that specific seat vibrations and the complete absence of traditional engine
noise in EVs contribute significantly to motion discomfort. Furthermore, the regenerative braking systems —
innovative technology that transforms kinetic energy (动能) into battery power — cause an unusually gradual
slowdown. ___39___
Beyond this, motion sickness fundamentally occurs when the brain receives contradictory sensory signals about
body movement. The inner ear, visual cues, and physical sensations send mixed messages to the brain, creating whatexperts call a “neural mismatch”. ___40___ This mechanism explains why drivers themselves rarely experience
carsickness — they control and predict the vehicle’s movements.
A. Such long-term conflict can trigger motion sickness symptoms.
B. Another contributing factor is that EV-specific features add to the problem.
C. Some manufacturers are improving suspension systems to minimize vibrations.
D. Drivers usually don’t experience carsickness due to their control over the vehicle.
E. This technology lengthens the stopping process and may worsen feelings of sickness.
F. Without previous EV experience, the brain has to struggle to estimate forces accurately.
G. In regard to this phenomenon, researchers have identified several scientific explanations.

I must admit that I wasn’t always a fan of change — not even a little

close friends and saw inconvenience become warm ____52____.
After four years, we returned to California, where everything felt both ____53____ and unreal — I carried

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During my final year of college, I shared a small dorm room with my classmate Kim. I was never a tidy person
— my side of the room always looked like a disaster area, covered with books, shirts, and single socks. Kim, on the
other hand, was extremely organized. She labeled each of her drawers and even color-coded her class schedule. She
arranged her pens by color and folded her sweaters according to the season; everything had its own spot. Our
contrasting habits often made us irritate (惹恼) each other.
One evening in the middle of October, things reached a breaking point. After evening self-study, I casually
kicked off my basketball shoes. One of them accidentally slid under Kim’s bed. When she found it, her face turned
bright red with anger. She picked up the shoe and threw it violently toward my side. It hit my desk lamp, knocking it
over. The lamp fell to the floor, and the light bulb broke into pieces all over the pile of T-shirts I had intended to fold. I
jumped up, shouting at her for being so disrespectful. She shouted back, complaining about my constant mess. We
both rushed toward the door, each determined to be the first to slam (砰地关上) it shut.
,
We might not have come back that night if the phone hadn’t rung just then. I sat on my bed still angry. Kim
picked up the phone. From her brief, unsteady responses, I could tell something was wrong. After she hung up, she
crawled (匍匐) into her bed, pulled the covers over herself, and began to cry. The room suddenly fell into a heavy
silence, filled with a new kind of unease.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Kim’s quiet crying reached my ears, something inside me shifted.
