When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume
on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book.
It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants everyone to know they read, wrote Alaina
Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signaling they have the “taste and attention span” to pick up a physical
book.
The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with
“BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favored
books into a “trend-driven accessory (配饰)”, said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman.
BookTok is seen as performative, with trendy books going viral not because of the quality of the literature
but because it suggests an increasingly fashionable, intellectual-looking style. And when reading becomes a
competition, with countless users showing off about having read more than 35 books in a single month,
supposedly, quality takes a backseat to demonstrating yourself to be a voracious reader.
Social posturing through books isn’t new. What is new is the uniquely unapologetic way social media
“rubber-stamps” the idea of books as an accessory, rather than an art. And there’s a danger it could lead to
publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”.
But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669
million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with an increase of visits to
第3页/共9页UK libraries.
“One of life’s simplest pleasures remains falling into a story and tuning the world out, without worrying
about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing
exactly that. So, rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a
book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because this is not a performance for you — they’re
simply enjoying the moment.
24. Why do some people engage in performative reading?
A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits.
C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature.
25. What does the underlined word “voracious” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Slow. B. Eager. C. Selective. D. Occasional.
26. What risk does turning books into accessories create?
A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline.
C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get sidelined.
27. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be ______.
A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials
C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without being disturbed
C
When it comes to navigating (导航) areas, past studies showed that the abilities don’t truly kick in until
twelve. However, a new study has revealed that children aged 5 can find their way around large spaces.
The researchers involved with this study previously concentrated on three regions of the adult brain that
help navigation: PPA, which lets us recognize places and assign them to different categories, RSC, which maps
these places within a larger space and OPA, which keeps us from running into objects. In 2024, they found that
the system associated with OPA doesn’t fully develop until the age of eight. However, they theorized that
younger children must still be able to create a map of their surroundings, even before they can walk well.
The new study confirmed that RSC is already well-developed in children younger than eight. The results
come from an interesting experiment involving five-year-old participants who became familiar with a virtual
location called “Tiny Town” full of entertaining landmarks like ice cream stores, playgrounds and fire stations.
“We want to get answers, but it’s also important that participants have a good time and a good impression of
science,” said Yaelan Jung, first author of the study.
Then the researchers conducted fMRI scans (磁共振扫描) on the children, during which they participated
in a game-like task where they were shown images from Tiny Town and pressed a button if the images
accurately related. Data from the scans proved that the children were able to create a map in their minds, using
RSC in their brains to facilitate navigation in larger spaces.
The next step, the researchers say, is to look into the brain development of toddlers (学步孩童) with
cleverer strategies. “It’s exciting to explore how humans use different parts of the brain for complex behaviors
and how that changes with age and experiences,” Jung said in a press release. “We’re also laying the
groundwork for clinical applications.”
第4页/共9页28. According to the new study, why can five-year-olds navigate large areas?
A. They can mentally map a large environment. B. Their OPA region has developed to the full.
C. Their PPA region helps them avoid objects. D. They can walk well by recognizing places.
29. Why did the researchers design Tiny Town?
A. To confirm the accuracy of fMRI scans. B. To improve kids’ scientific competence.
C. To make the experiment engaging for kids. D. To adjust kids’ emotion before the experiment.
30. What are Yaelan Jung’s words in the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Influence of research strategies. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Demand for a larger sample size. D. Solid evidence of the findings.
31. What can be a suitable tile for the text?
A. Brain Development: A Magic Solution B. Young Children: Natural Navigators at Age 5
C. Three Regions: Core Parts for Mapping Places D. Tiny Town: A Key to Unlocking Brain Secrets
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。
During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image
— how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose.
32 For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal.
33 One major influence is peer pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your
appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the
way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body
type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal.
Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting,
overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. 34 When you focus too much on appearance, you
may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality.
To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards
are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance
is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. 35
Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with
positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism.
36 Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with
your body.
A. Many factors shape your body image.
B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction.
C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart.
D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword.
E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else.
F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality.
G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths.

第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you’re looking for a destination offering a fresh perspective on life, then China is the very place. Since
I moved to China in September 2024, I’ve found exactly what I was looking for when I left Italy: a change.
第6页/共9页This is most evident in daily life and, surprisingly, in 52 people get around.
China is ENORMOUS, yet thanks to its incredible public transport system, travelling across the country
has never been 53 (easy). The reach of China’s bullet trains is truly vast, 54 (allow) people
to travel across the country in 55 (remarkable) little time. This efficiency was driven home for me not
long ago when I booked a flight from Beijing to Europe. Since I live in Weifang, I first 56 (head) to
Qingdao, then to Beijing, only 57 (realize) later that a direct bullet train to Beijing would have been
faster than flying! This is just one example 58 how China’s transport system can surprise you.
Travelling by train here is almost like going through an airport. Often, the former is faster, smoother, and
more efficient, with security checks and service classes that compare favorably to those 59 (offer) by
the world’s top airlines.
Chinese roads are equally impressive, with around 190,000 kilometers of modern expressways — enough
to circle 60 globe nearly five times. When you consider the perfect integration (整合) of these roads
with the high-speed rail network and modern airports, it’s no wonder the Chinese public transport system
61 (see) as a potential new wonder of the world. To fully appreciate it, you simply have to experience it
firsthand.

第二节 任务型阅读（满分20分）
阅读下面短文，并按要求完成相应任务。
第7页/共9页The Thompson house was always noisy before school. Every morning, twelve-year-old Lucy did her hair
at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside
her. Her little brother Peter, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell.
“Stop it!” Lucy said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace around her neck moved a
little. The necklace, made of shells, was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away.
Lucy valued this necklace dearly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last
trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around
Lucy’s neck. Right now, Lucy needed all the patience she could get.
As the days went by, Lucy found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Peter’s noisy habits, though
still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny
faces or dancing around to music only he could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her
smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Peter shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you
love it so much?” he whispered. Lucy then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each
shell. For a moment, Peter looked thoughtful, and Lucy hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to
her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested.
After a two-day summer camp, Lucy came home and found Peter lying on her bedroom floor, her box
turned over. “What are you doing?!” she shouted. Peter jumped. “I, I just wanted to see...” The necklace fell
from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken
into several parts.
