阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox (戒断)?
The prosecution (控方): James
My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but
she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly
around the house when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a
rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only
happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there.
The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers
While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use
her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.
Margo, 29
Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is
guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok.
Stewart, 35
As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the
sound turned on while watching TV together.
Peter, 40
The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be
more considerate of others.
Steve, 6
Now you be the-judge
In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?1. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok?
A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos.
C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James.
2. Who is fully on Marley’s side?
A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve.
3. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A legal paper. B. A court record.
C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
B
The 2020 Paralympic Games, held from August 24 to September 5, 2021, saw a record 4,403 athletes compete
across 22 sports. Among them was Ibrahim Hamadtou — a man whose courage and determination redefine what is
possible.
Table tennis might seem an unlikely choice for someone with no arms, but the 48-year-old Egyptian Paralympian
sees no limits. He holds the racket in his mouth and uses his foot to serve, turning what could be a limitation into an
extraordinary skill.
Hamadtou, who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten, was drawn to table tennis after being in a club
with his friends. “I was in the club where two of my friends were playing a match.” Hamadtou explains. “They
disagreed on a point. When I counted the point in favor of one of them, the other player told me, ‘Do not get
involved as you will never be able to play.’ It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis.”
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport. He says the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way
to maneuver his body. “I was trying first to use the bat under the arm, and I also tried using other things that weren’t
working so well. Finally, I tried using my mouth. It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the racket
with my mouth and making the serve; with practice and playing regularly, this skill was improved.”
His talent gained recognition when he was named Best Arab Athlete in 2014. He went on to win a silver medal
at the 2016 African Championships and competed in both the 2016 and 2020 Paralympic Games. As Hamadtou says,
“Disability does not mean having no arms or legs—it means giving up on what you want to achieve.”
4. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?
A. To describe Ibrahim Hamadtou’s life story.
B. To introduce the main character of the story.
C. To popularize the spirit of Paralympic games.D. To provide backgrounds of the participating athletes.
5. What motivated Hamadtou to play table tennis?
A. A train accident. B. His personal interest.
C. A friend’s challenge. D. His family’s encouragement.
6. What does the underlined word “maneuver” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Make use of. B. Take care of. C. Put up with. D. Take pity on.
7. What does Hamadtou define true disability as?
A. A failure to gain formal recognition. B. A physical challenge to overcome.
C. The refusal to pursue one’s dream. D. The lack of personal achievements.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C

Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You
sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付
款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today.
We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being
profoundly affected by this quiet shift.
The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has soared. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the
ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally
tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of
paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to
overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can
fall into lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep.
Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety.
That’s why we need to talk about money more often — not just how to make it, but how we feel about it — in
families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with
confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-
related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by
addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence.
We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing
that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological.
8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?A. Klarna and Clearpay help people save money.
B. Digital payments are now relatively preferred.
C. Invisible payments have improved mental health.
D. Installments ease the emotional spending burden.
9. What may BNPL result in?
A. Improved financial knowledge. B. Easy access to digital credit.
C. Overspending and long-term debt. D. Decrease of small-amount expenses.
10. How can we build healthier financial habits?
A. Value financial education. B. Hide feelings of shame.
C. Mask people’s financial stress. D. Highlight debt-related problems.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cash Shopping: The Healthy Way of Consumption
B. Money’s Emotional Cost: Beyond Invisible Payments
C. BNPL: A New Approach to Boost Consumer Spending
D. Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
D
In the early 400s, the philosopher St. Augustine said something famous: he knew what time was until someone
asked him to explain it. Later, Albert Einstein made the idea more complex. He believed that time is not the same
everywhere; it changes according to where you measure it. Today, our most advanced atomic (原子的) clocks have
proved Einstein right. Even modern physics cannot give us a clear answer to “What is time?” because the answer
depends on the question you ask.
We should stop thinking of time as something fixed. What if time is not just something we measure with
clocks? What if it is a way we understand and connect with the world? What if time is everywhere, but we only see
it through our own lives and cultures? These questions lead to a new way of thinking about timekeeping.
Recently, I came up with a new way to measure time, which is closely linked to our planet and the changes
brought by global warming. We are now building a special clock at the Anchorage Museum. This clock follows the
flow of several major rivers in Alaska — rivers that are easily affected by local and global environmental changes.
We set it to match an atomic clock if the rivers keep flowing at their current speed. If the rivers flow faster on
average in the future, the clock will be ahead of standard time; if slower, it will fall behind.
This clock shows both short-term changes and long-term trends in the rivers. It is like an observatory that letsus see how the rivers change from their own natural time. We can check these changes on our smartwatches or
phones. People who choose to follow this “Alaska Mean River Time” will live in harmony with the planet. Those
who compare river time with atomic time will find a big imbalance, which may encourage them to use less fuel or
support greener policies.
Though this new timekeeping method is special, early agricultural societies also associated time with natural
phenomena. For example, in ancient Greece, people adjusted their official calendars to match the change of
seasons. Linking time to the environment was very important for their survival. Similarly, river time and other new
timekeeping systems can help people pay more attention to environmental protection.
When St. Augustine said he could not easily define time, he pointed out a key fact: time becomes meaningful
only in a certain context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is valuable as long as it serves its purpose.
12. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B. Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C. Time measurement is an age-old topic.
D. Time is a major concern for scientists and philosophers.
13. What is the purpose of the three questions in Paragraph 2?
A. To raise doubts about time measurement. B. To evaluate an argument about time.
C. To stress the importance of time. D. To introduce an approach to timekeeping.
14. How does the special clock work?
A. It is set to be always ahead of standard atomic time.
B. It keeps pace with the flow speed of main rivers in Alaska.
C. It is controlled by the Anchorage Museum’s atomic clock.
D. It changes with the seasons like ancient Greek calendars.
15. What do we know about early agricultural societies?
A. They paid little attention to the change of seasons.
B. Their timekeeping systems were more scientific than modern ones.
C. They connected time with nature for survival.
D. They created the first timekeeping system in history.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the hustle (喧嚣) of modern life, nature stands as a timeless cure for the weary soul. ____16____ Studies
show that spending time in green spaces lowers cortisol levels, reduces anxiety, and enhances mental clarity. A walk
through a forest, the sound of waves lapping the shore, or even a moment watching clouds drift by can reset our
overstimulated minds.
Nature’s therapeutic benefits extend beyond mental well-being. ____17____ Exposure to sunlight stimulates
vitamin D, essential for bone health and mood regulation. Activities such as hiking or gardening reduce stress and
bring a sense of accomplishment.
____18____ Even city residents benefit from urban parks: children near green spaces show better cognitive
development and fewer behavioral problems, proving nature a universal healer for all ages.
Moreover, nature serves as a powerful teacher of toughness. ____19____ Witnessing the cycle of seasons —
the renewal of spring after winter’s dormancy, the resilience of plants thriving in rough conditions — instills a
sense of hope. A storm-ravaged forest that gradually regenerates or a burned field shooting new life demonstrates
nature’s ability to overcome adversity.
____20____ We must intentionally seek out nature, whether it’s a morning jog through a local park, a
weekend camping trip, or simply opening a window to let in fresh air and listen to the birdsong.
The earth is more than a background; it holds the key to our health and harmony.
A. It teaches us to persist through difficult times.
B. Physical health also gains much from nature’s gifts.
C. Modern people often ignore the importance of mental health.
D. Given the great benefits of nature, we should take action to approach it.
E. It offers a quiet shelter from the chaos and stress of everyday life.
F. Spending time in nature is beneficial to both body and mind.
G. Nature’s healing power is not restricted to those living in rural areas.

Americans who first explored space. ____26____ at last, he was determined to be an astronaut, which meant doing well
in science classes. So that day, he ____27____ his mind to do well in it.
After so many years of daydreaming, it wouldn’t be ____28____. But he started thinking about it like a game.
The more he ____29____ his study skills, the more he gained and the better he got. ____30____, it became a(n)
____31____ with himself to see how good he could get. No one was more surprised than him when a ____32____
daydreamer started getting straight A’s in science, which is essential to be an astronaut.
So we need to stop furthering the statement that science is just too hard. If you’re students who have been told
“you are not a science person” or “your brain doesn’t think that way”, just ____33____ the comments! Everyone

During holidays, an increasing number of teenagers are glued to their mobile phones, abandoning outdoor
exercises completely, which has become a worrying trend among young people.
This bad habit does great harm to their health, not only causing serious eye impairment but also weakening their
bodies. To improve this situation, teenagers should set a limit on phone use and try to take part in outdoor activities
like running or cycling with friends, relaxing themselves and keeping their bodies strong.
Let’s put down our phones and keep a healthy lifestyle during holidays.
第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
I sat at the breakfast table with my four-year-old son, Harry, trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. “Mama,
want to play?” “Not today, baby.” I shook my head. These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering
from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless.
Suddenly, Harry jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard.
Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew
away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate
carrying sticks. “Look, Harry,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and
out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree.
Harry could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the
sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I
couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too.
Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was safe enough for a nest, but the rubber tree’s thin leaves were far
from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs (细枝) break
apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. Butthey returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from
the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again,
as if nothing had happened.
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。
Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves.

Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves. I searched through the garage,
gathering materials like twigs, small pieces of cloth, and some soft hay. Harry joined me, his eyes shining with
excitement. Together, we carefully crafted a sturdy nest, making sure it was secure and comfortable. As we worked,
I couldn’t help but think about how these little birds had brought so much hope and joy into our lives. Once the nest
was done, I used a long pole to place it high in the rubber tree, praying that the doves would accept our offering.
