471．The year I turned fifty，I resolved to do something new every day.However，balancing 365 new things with work and family，while still managing to do the laundry and get dinner on the table every night，was not always easy.In the early weeks of the project，I found it difficult to find so many new things.
It wasn't long before my friends learned that I was open to almost anything I could consider a new thing，and the invitations began pouring in not just from friends，but friends of friends.As a result，my life was new.I went dog sledding.I attended a fashion show.I went to numerous lectures on all kinds of topics that I never would have previously considered useful or interesting and found something to appreciate in every single one.I even signed up immediately when learning about a local group trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by doing something unusual.
As time went by，whenever I learned about something that seemed remarkable，I did what I could to pursue it.Instead of "Why"，I began to ask "Why not".Now I find it is easier to just keep my eyes open to the possibilities that surrounded me.It turned out that there were new things everywhere，and all I had to do was make a little effort to enjoy them.
I looked back on the year.It doesn't matter to me that many of my "new things" weren't exactly meaningful.What matters is how to make full use of them when discovering there is an endless number of new things for me.It seemed to me an obvious sign that at fifty，my life was full of promise.I could continue to grow，stretch my wings，and learn more every day for the rest of my life.I enjoyed the idea of something new，and it gave me a reason to welcome each day as an opportunity to experience the world a little differently.

（毀掉） in the earthquake．發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：3引用：4難度：0.7473．As a child growing up in a suburban town in the Northeast of the United States，the arrival of spring had little meaning for me.Sure，we had a weeklong spring vocation from school，but the key word there was vacation，not spring.
For the kids in my neighborhood，the arrival of spring was a non-event.There were two important seasons：winter，when we could go skating and sledding or build snow forts，and summer，when we could finally make proper use of the beach about 100 meter east of my family home.Spring and autumn were just technical details，weeks and weeks of waiting for the good times' return.
Admittedly，spring later developed its own attractions for me- "In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love"，as the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson noted-however，it was not spring itself，but the other stuff bat got my attention.
In short，I never thought much at all about spring....and then I arrived in China.I had been in Beijing for about three months when my first Spring Festival rolled around，and it could hardly be ignored.Aside from the random bursts of fireworks at any time day or night，what stood out most for me was that the capital seemed to be empty.
It was as though the crowds and streams of cars and trucks commonly seen in the capital had all gone into hiding.My puzzlement cleared up when I returned to work.My colleagues explained that Chinese traditionally travel，if necessary，to visit their families during Spring Festival，and that many Beijingers were not natives of the capital.
I also got my first knowledge of something about Spring Festival that never ceases to amaze me.Regardless of when the holiday is set to begin，there is an almost immediate and sudden change for the better in the weather.Spring really does arrive.
I can't begin to figure out how the ancient Chinese could create a system that would almost always accurately predict when the season would shift year after year after year.But they did.
（1）What did the author think of spring as a child？
A．It was a season full of promise.
B．It was always beyond his imagination.
C．It was a tiring and long holiday.
D．It hardly left a good impression on him.
（2）What impressed the author most about Beijing during the Spring Festival？
A．The busy traffic.
B．The unexpected quietness.
C．Beijingers' love for travel.
D．Occasional bursts of fireworks.
（3）How does the author feel about the system created by ancient Chinese？
A．Adorable.
B．Confused.
C．Wonderful.
D．Convenient.
（4）What can be inferred from the text？
A．Spring Festival in Beijing will make one feel quite lonely.
B．The author spent his first Spring Festival at a colleague's home.
C．In China Spring Festival always indicates the coming of Spring.
D．The author still worked during the Spring Festival while in Beijing.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：0引用：3難度：0.3474．保持某人的平衡
發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：9引用：11難度：0.8475．Do Dogs Dream？
Unlike cartoon images，real dogs don't speak and describe their sleep.So you may wonder：do dogs dream like their owners？
A scientific research conducted at MIT found that during sleep，brains of humans and dogs function in a similar manner.When you or your dog first falls asleep，you experience SWS—slow wave sleep—when the brain waves are slow but muscles are still active.Later，a deeper stage of sleep occurs.This stage is called REM sleep—rapid eye movements sleep.During REM，muscles are more relaxed but the mind is more active.It was proved that both humans and dogs experience these two stages of the sleep cycle.Since we know that humans dream，it is safe to conclude that dogs dream too.
Scientists found that as a dog falls asleep，his breathing becomes deeper and more regular.After about 20 minutes in REM sleep，dreams usually begin for average dogs.While dreaming，the dog's breathing may become shallow and irregular，and his eyes move about behind the closed lids（眼瞼） as if the dog is looking at something.By comparing brain wave patterns，researchers suggested that during REM，dogs are visualizing （呈現(xiàn)） dream images much like humans do during this stage of sleep.
Besides，it's also found that during REM，the sleeping brain functions much like it does when awake，so both man and dogs dream about things that happen during their waking hours.Information gathered during the day is processed at night and may be relived in dreams.So your dog may "sleep run" as he runs after a cat or fetches a ball.
Studies also show that some dogs dream more than others，and the frequency and length of dreams are different according to the age and sizes of dogs.Young puppies usually experience more dreams than adult dogs.One possible reason is that puppies acquire huge amounts of new information daily and have much to process at night.Among dogs of the same age，smaller dogs seem to have more dreams than their bigger friends，but their dreams may last shorter.Dream length and frequency are also related to the amount of sleep required.A dog that has an active day outside may sleep more soundly than usual and experience longer periods of REM sleep，giving him more time to dream.
（1）What happens to dogs during REM sleep？
A．Their dreams take place.
B．Their brain waves are slow.
C．Their muscles stay active.
D．Their mind is more relaxed.
（2）While dreaming，the dog.
A．breathes regularly
B．visualizes images
C．opens the lids
D．gathers information
（3）What does the underlined word "relived" probably mean？
A．Removed.
B．Repaired.
C．Reviewed.
D．Reduced.
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A．Why dogs dream like humans.
B．What bigger dogs dream about.
C．Why young puppies have more dreams.
D．What causes the differences of dogs' dreams.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：3引用：4難度：0.5476．Dear Children，
As you know，for years I've planned to write up the memories.Now that you are grown，I've signed up for a memoir writing class.You know what？It's such a struggle!
Sometimes，I wake up in the middle of the night with just the right thought in my mind.Grabbing notepaper and pen，I go in the bathroom and write it down.Great!I don't want to lose that，and in the morning it may be gone.But I'm having trouble getting back to sleep these days and find myself nodding off in my chair after dinner.
Instead of writing "I remember，" we are encouraged to be creative.The right expression came -during the night.Naturally I jumped up and got it written just the way I wanted.It's all sort of a torture （折磨）.I'm walking around with dark circles underneath my eyes.
I spend a great deal of time staring out the window，deep in thoughts.I've noticed I'm having a little bit of trouble sometimes getting my eyes to focus again.I also carry around a notebook in my purse to seize the thoughts when I'm driving around or at the grocery store.The notebook takes up so much space in my purse!
It's great to have pictures to illustrate the writings.But in finding just the right ones，I have to search around through all the boxes，and the house is in a mess.jye.ai fact，I'm becoming absent-minded，I have to admit.I forgot to turn on the coffee pot the other morning，and yesterday the potatoes burned when I was writing down this great description.
So，my dears，I've decided it's fun to write all the memorable times in my life and to share the happy days of your growing up years.But I think at my age，I need my rest.Enjoy the ones I've written because I've decided not to write any more memoirs.
Love，Mom

FOMO，or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people's lives are superior to our own.It appears as a deep sense of envy，and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem（自尊）.
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature，social media seems to have added fuel to the fire.（2）Social media，with its built-in appeal，allows us to share only the best presentations of our life，while leaving out the more boring aspects.Although this could be characterized as dishonest，it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand.So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media？
Consider your own social media posts.（3）Well，so have others.And what they've left hidden is the fact that boredom，loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone's life，and you're not the only one feeling left out.
（4）You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks，but you have your health，a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Lean to shake it off.We are all flooded daily with photos of other people's perfections，but really，what does it matter？（5）And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy，all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.
A．If so，you are not alone.
B．Value your friends in real life.
C．Learn to appreciate the positives.
D．Why does it have such a stimulating effect？
E．They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F．The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life？發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：8引用：6難度：0.5478．This story happened to me many years ago，but I can still remember it well.When I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，there was one occasion when I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for New Year.On my way，I found that my car was running out of gas.So I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash counter，I said hello to a couple who were also paying for gas and they responded with their warm smiles.
I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.My car just broke down.What big trouble!I stopped and was wondering what I should do next when a car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken with at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted happily on the way to the city，and when I arrived and got off the car，the husband gave me his business card.
Upon arriving home，I wrote a thank-you note to the couple for their help.Soon afterwards，I received a New Year present from them.In their note they said that helping me had made their holidays more meaningful.
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in an early morning.Road conditions were quite poor on the way and it was said that cars broke down frequently there.Anyway，I got there safe and sound.After the meeting，I returned to my car and found that I'd got a flat tire.I was at a loss when I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling Ford cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two workers in the showroom.

My mum pushed up her glasses and looked at me with her head to one side.Then she said， "Italy is an European country which is very far away from here，my love.Why do you want to know that？"
I shrugged（聳肩），"That's where Mike，the new boy in our class is from."
She nodded and invited me to go to fetch the geography book.The book was big and Mum always kept the very big books on the bottom shelf of our bookcase.I watched as Mum flipped to the index and then to a page near the middle."Here we go，"she said，turning the map around to show me.I let my finger meet hers where it said the word "Italy" in capital letters.
According to the introduction to the country on the page，Mum helped me know more about the country.
"You know，Mum，Mike's parents are extremely busy working in the downtown.He seldom eats regularly let alone（更不用說） have his native foods.I really want him to be very happy for his first picnic with us…
I paused and observed Mum，worried that Mum would think that it was silly and maybe a waste of money buying food only to give it away.But she didn't.Instead，she said，"I think that's a brilliant idea!Go and get ready，and we'll head out on a big shopping."

______發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：2引用：3難度：0.5480．The American Academy of Pediatrics has warned about the potential negative effects of social media on young kids and teens.But the same risks may be true for adults.A review study suggests addiction symptoms （癥狀），such as failure to pay attention to personal life and escapism，appear to be present in some people who use Facebook excessively （過度）.
A study also shows when people stop using the Internet，they also go through small but measurable physical effects.Rather than improving health，as frequent interactions（互動） with offline social networks do，the findings show that interacting with Facebook may predict the opposite result for young adults—it may undermine it.
In fact，another study found that social media use is linked to greater feelings of social isolation （隔離），mentally and physically.We fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others as we check our Facebook pages.The study looked at how we make comparisons with others' posts，in "upward" or "downward" directions—that is，feeling that we are either worse or better off than our friends.It turned out that both types of comparisons made people feel worse，which is surprising，since in real life，only upward comparisons make people feel bad.But in the social network world，it seems that any kind of comparison is linked to depressive symptoms.
All of this is not to say that there is no benefit of social media—obviously it keeps us connected across great distances，and helps us find people we had lost touch with years ago.But visiting social networks when you have some time to kill is very likely a bad idea.If you are feeling brave，try taking a little break，and see how it goes.And if you are going to keep "using" it，then at least try to use it reasonably.
（1）What might researchers think about "using Facebook excessively"？
A．It's problem behavior.
B．It's costly and time-consuming.
C．It's sometimes a solution to social isolation.
D．It's leading people to become imaginative.
（2）What does the underlined word "undermine" in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Present.
B．Destroy.
C．Check.
D．Ensure.
（3）What's the finding of the study mentioned in paragraph 3？
A．Social media are being given too much importance.
B．Young Facebook users feel more isolated than their elders.
C．All kinds of comparisons on social media upset people.
D．Downward comparisons link closer to depression than upward ones.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．Social media affect people's mental health.
B．Comparing ourselves with others may lead to depression.
C．Social networks have more advantages than disadvantages.
D．Nowadays people tend to turn to the Internet for satisfaction.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：2引用：3難度：0.5
