【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了如何使用悉尼公交一种乘车证。SydneyPass提供3，5，7天不等的悉尼的海港城市，海湾和海滩等地旅游路线。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“You can also travel free on regular Sydney Buses, Sydney Ferries or City Rail services (limited area), so you can go to every corner of this beautiful city. (您还可以免费乘坐常规的悉尼巴士、悉尼摩天轮或城市铁路服务(有限区域)，因此您可以前往这座美丽城市的每一个角落)”可知，这个旅行游览项目是不提供无限制乘坐的故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“All Sydney Passes include a free Airport Express inward trip before starting your 3, 5 or 7 days, and the return trip is valid for 2 months from the first day your ticket was used. (所有悉尼通行证都包括在您开始3天、5天或7天的免费机场快线入境旅行，回程有效期为2个月，自您使用机票的第一天起计算)”可知，用悉尼通行证可以节省往返机场的费用。故选C。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据图表和下面的说明“A child is defined as anyone from the ages of 4 years to under 16 years. Children under 4 years travel free (儿童的定义是从4岁到16岁以下的任何人。4岁以下儿童免费旅行)”以及“A family is defined as 3 adults and any number of children (from 4 to 16 ) from the same family(一个家庭是指来自同一家庭的3名成年人和任意数量的儿童(4至16岁))”可知，成年人每人120美元，两个成年人240美元，3岁的孩子免费，所以两个孩子费用是120美元。由此可知，如果向一位母亲推荐5天的机票，她和她的同事以及3岁、6岁和10岁的孩子一起旅行，最低价格是360美元。故选C。
B
I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda (日程), and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct (不同的) from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
24. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world.
25. What does the author mean by the underlined part in paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
26. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic fields.
27. What’s the best title of the text
A. Reading: A Lifelong Hobby B. The Power of Research Papers
C. Novels: Love at Second Sight D. The Benefits of History Reading
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者的阅读之旅，随着作者对阅读的投入，作者也真正爱上了阅读。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct(不同的) from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed. (晚饭后，我泡了一杯热巧克力，躺在沙发上伸伸懒腰，打开了一页书。顷刻之间，我的思绪离开了实验设计的细节，进入了一个充满怪物、魔尘和像人一样的熊的世界，这是一个与我日常生活截然不同的奇妙世界。这正是我所需要的。)”可知，作者消除自己焦虑的方法就是打开一本书，沉浸到一个幻想的世界之中。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句子下一句“Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. (相反，我会选择阅读与我的学科相关的参考书，以获得更好的成绩。)”可知，作者不是不阅读，而是只会阅读与自己学科相关的参考书。由此可知，作者是觉得阅读诸如《哈利波特》这样的小说浪费时间。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul. (这些书帮助我建立了同情和理解，带来了一个意想不到的好处：我开始更深入地思考科学界问题的多样性，并可以全心全意地为之服务。)”可推知，作者所阅读的书让他对自己的学科有了新的见解和看法。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段和第二段可知，作者只会阅读和自己学科相关的书籍，希望自己能取得更好的成绩。根据文章第三段“To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork. (为了帮助我坚持下去，我制定了一个新年计划：一整年每个月读两本小说。结果是，我几乎立刻就对小说产生了欣赏，还有许多意想不到的结果，包括一些对我的学业有益的结果。)”可知，作者开始阅读小说之后有了许多意想不到的结果。由此可知，C项Novels: Love at Second Sight(小说：一见钟情)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。
C
How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past Have you ever thought about this Aristotle may have written the first observations of myopia around 350 B.C. Because their eyeballs are too long, people with this condition can see objects that are close by, but distant objects tend to look blurry.
Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe. And he noted that “even in the history of the invention of spectacles, that is a late development.”
There are 13th-century European examples of handheld convex lenses that were used to treat age-related vision loss known as presbyopia. But the technology wasn’t applied to treat nearsightedness for another 200 years.
“Because of the way that lens is held, you can see through it, and the artist has captured the effect that the glass has,” Handley said. Myopia could be something of a modern condition. Rates of myopia have risen sharply in recent decades, and researchers have projected that half the world will be myopic by 2050.
Doctors are still trying to figure out the cause behind this trend. Some have blamed genetic causes or an increase in studying and screen time.
It’s likely that myopia didn’t affect as many people in the past as it does now. Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t regarded as a priority and that people could have gotten by with this condition by making some adaptations in their lifestyle. Or, maybe there was more of an emphasis on putting people in jobs that were suited to their ability to see, he said.
For example, people with myopia were historically valued in artisan contexts, such as medieval European monasteries, where illuminating manuscripts and painting required making tiny, precise skills.
28. What can be learned about the first myopia glasses
A. They came into people’s view around 350 B.C.
B. They could help shorten people’s eyeballs.
C. They didn’t come out until the 15th century.
D. They were initially designed for old people.
29. What does the underlined word “projected” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Noticed. B. Predicted. C. Doubted. D. Conducted.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. People in the past didn’t develop myopia.
B. My opia could be cured by changing one’s lifestyle.
C. People with myopia could also lead a normal life.
D. Most art-related jobs favored near sighted people.
31. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Glasses for nearsighted people have developed a lot.
B. Nearsightedness is increasing at an alarming rate.
C. Various reasons contribute to modern myopia.
D. Myopia was not so disturbing in the past.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在眼镜发明之前，人们近视的情况其实并不像现代社会这么严重，也不会影响正常生活。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe.(博物馆馆长Neil Handley表示，在15世纪欧洲发明第一批近视镜片之前，人们对近视的治疗方法知之甚少)”可知，第一副近视眼镜直到15世纪才问世。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Rates of myopia have risen sharply in recent decades, and researchers have (近几十年来，近视率急剧上升，研究人员)”以及后文“that half the world will be myopic by 2050 (到2050年，世界上一半的人将目光短浅)”可知，近视问题近几年越来越严重，研究者预测，到2050年全世界将近一半的人都会患上近视。由此可知，划线单词的意思是“预测”。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t regarded as a priority and that people could have gotten by with this condition by making some adaptations in their lifestyle (Handley说，近视眼眼镜的发明很晚，这表明治疗少数近视患者并不是优先考虑的问题，人们本可以通过调整自己的生活方式来应对这种情况)”可推知，近视的人也可以过正常的生活。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past (在没有眼镜的时代，近视的人是如何生活的？)”可知，文章提出了在眼镜发明之前，人们怎么应付近视带来的问题，由下文尤其是最后两段可知，过去近视情况并不严重，对生活也不会有很大的影响，甚至有一些与艺术相关的工作还需要这类人。由此可知，这篇文章主要告诉我们近视在过去对人们影响不大。故选D。
D
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
32. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
33. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
34. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了心理学家的一项EC理论表明，我们不是只有大脑负责人类的认知，我们的身体也负责思考或者解决问题。更准确的说思想塑造身体，身体同等程度地塑造思想。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段第五句话“The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.(EC理论表明，我们的身体也负责思考或解决问题。更准确地说，思维塑造身体，身体同等程度地塑造思维。)”可推知，EC理论让我们更接近人类认知的真相。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句话“They don’t have emotions so much as need — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world，they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.(他们没有如同需要那么多的情感——他们不会感到悲伤，他们只是饿，需要食物。即使是未出生的婴儿也能感觉到母亲的心跳，这具有镇静作用。在现实世界中，他们冷了就哭，然后被拥抱。这样，他们开始将温暖与被爱联系起来)”可推知，新生儿对周围环境的理解依靠的是身体感觉。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句话“For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking.(为了进一步证明，我们可以看看我们不假思索就使用的比喻)”和第四段第一句话“Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction.(更多的研究支持了身心互动)”可知，两个自然段都是为了证明上文第三段EC的观点“Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.(年长的西方哲学家和主流语言研究人员认为这是事实，而EC理论认为大脑和身体作为一台有机的超级计算机协同工作，处理一切并形成反应)”。所以，作者想要印证的是人类的感官对思维有影响。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it (既然您已经掌握了身心互动的知识，为什么不使用它呢 )”以及下文中列举的两种现实生活中的情况“If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. (如果你今天过得很糟糕，一杯温暖的茶会给你带来一瞬间的快乐。如果你知道自己身体很冷，在做出任何人际关系决定之前先热身。)”可推知，最后一段作者鼓励读者把 EC 理论运用于现实生活中。故选B。

Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class.____37____In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.
The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance.____38____
The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people.____39____If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.
Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. ____40____If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.
A. However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.
B. That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.
C. Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself.
D. The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.
E. What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.
F. We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.
G. It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了聚光灯效应的概念、成因和作用。
【36题详解】
由标题“The Spotlight Effect (聚光灯效应)”，第一段“Have you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake Well, here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even noticed. (当你犯错误时，你有没有觉得整个世界都在注视着你？好吧，这里有一些好消息：很可能没有人注意到)”和下文“We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. (我们不仅在犯错时，而且在表现出色时都有这种经历。每次我们做一些与平时稍有不同的事情时，我们都会认为周围的人都会注意到)”可知，上下文讲聚光灯效应出现的场合，当人们出错时，人们总觉得会被周围的许多人注意到，但事实真相是：很可能没有人注意到你的行为，说明聚光灯效应只是一种心理作用，是人们自己认为会被注意到的一种现象，可得出D选项“聚光灯效应是一种大脑欺骗我们的手段，让我们误以为别人注意到我们的次数比实际情况更多。”切题，呼应最后一段“Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. (下次当你觉得每个人都盯着你看的时候，提醒自己这只是你的大脑在捉弄你)”。故选D项。
【37题详解】
G选项“当我们取得一个大的目标，约某人约会或做一件好事时，它也会出现。”承接上文“The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. (聚光灯效应可能发生在我们在比赛中犯错、头发糟糕或在课堂上给出糟糕的答案时)”讲聚光灯效应出现场合的具体事例。故选G项。
【38题详解】
由上文“Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. (每个人都是他或她的故事中的主角，我们生活中的事件似乎很重要)”可知，人们很关注自己和自己身上发生的事情，该空与上文是因果关系，F选项“我们忙于审视自己，实际上很少观察周围的人。”承接上文讲因为人们更多得关注自己，所以很少注意周围的人。故选F项。
【39题详解】
A选项“然而，当焦虑太多而无法处理时，这可能是一个问题。”与上文“Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. (每个人都有一定程度的社交焦虑。我们都关心别人的想法，我们都想被人喜欢。想知道我们对其他人有什么影响是正常的)”讲“拥有一定程度的社交焦虑是正常现象”形成转折，引出焦虑太多会成问题的事实，衔接下文“If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation. (如果有人过于紧张，无法做出正确的决定，那么是时候采取行动改善这种情况了)”讲针对这种情况要采取措施的内容。故选A项。
【40题详解】
C选项“另一个好的练习是努力去注意你周围的人，而不是专注于你自己。”承接上文“Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. (下次当你觉得每个人都盯着你看的时候，提醒自己这只是你的大脑在捉弄你)”讲克服聚光灯效应的具体策略。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了中国“六艺”的具体内容和意义。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：为了促进全面发展，中国古代的学生被要求学习所谓的“六艺”：礼、乐、射、御、书和数。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语，所以require作本句谓语，主语是students，两者是被动关系，用被动语态，根据in ancient China可知，用一般过去时。故填were required。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：六艺可以追溯到周朝(公元前1046年-公元前256年)，六艺在孔子之前就存在了，但后来逐渐成为儒家哲学的一部分，强调行为和价值观。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词existed，所以date应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是the Six Arts，两者是主动关系，应该用现在分词形式，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Dating。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：六艺可以追溯到周朝(公元前1046年-公元前256年)，六艺在孔子之前就存在了，但后来逐渐成为儒家哲学的一部分，强调行为和价值观。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的动词，应该用副词修饰。故填gradually。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：六艺可以追溯到周朝(公元前1046年-公元前256年)，六艺在孔子之前就存在了，但后来逐渐成为儒家哲学的一部分，强调行为和价值观。分析句子结构可知，本句是which引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少谓语动词，所以stress作谓语，主语是which代指前句提到的事，为第三人称单数，描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时。故填stresses。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：古代的学生可以从学习礼乐中获得自尊。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：a sense of意为“……的感觉”。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：御是一种需要智慧和体力相结合的训练形式。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是form，在从句中作主语，因为先行词有the very修饰，只能用that引导。故填that。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：通过练习射和御，学生们不仅获得了战争技能，还学会了如何作为贵族。分析句子结构可知，空前是介词，所以空处应填名词，noble意为“贵族成员”，为可数名词，根据句意，用复数形式。故填nobles。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意：书可以使人获得知识，变得谦虚，而数可以帮助他们更快地学习思考。分析句子结构可知，“enable people to acquire knowledge”和“become humble”是并列关系，应该用and连接。故填and。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“六艺”深深植根于儒家哲学，集道德教育、学术研究、体育教育和社会训练于一体。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配：be rooted in意为“扎根于”，又本句已有谓语动词integrate，所以省略be动词。故填rooted。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：总之，六艺体系是中国传统文化的重要组成部分，展现出其独特的魅力。分析句子结构可知，represent和后文的displays一起作本句的并列谓语，所以represent应该也用三单形式。故填represents。

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。
In a small town, there lived a young girl named Emily. She had a deep passion for table tennis and dreamed of becoming a professional player. Despite her young age, she was determined to work hard and make her dream come true.
From the moment when Emily picked up a table tennis paddle, she was impressed by the sport. She spent every spare moment practicing her shots, focusing on her footwork and mastering different techniques. Each time she stepped on the court, she was eager to improve and pushed herself to the limit. Unluckily, Emily faced a visual impairment (缺陷) that threatened to slow her progress. She was born with a condition that affected her sight. Some people doubted her ability to play table tennis and said, “Emily, your impairment is a disadvantage. It is impossible to play table tennis well!”
But Emily refused to let their doubts consume her. With solid determination, Emily turned her impairment into strength. She used her other heightened senses to her advantage, relying on touch and sound to anticipate her opponents’ moves. While others relied on sight, she developed an incredible sense of intuition (直觉) and strategy.
Emily finally excelled in table tennis, achieving incredible milestones and representing her town in many competitions. She became an advocate of the sport in her town. However, Emily decided not to settle for winning in her comfort zone but to challenge for something higher. She joined a training team guided by a world-class coach, which brought together the world’s top table tennis players.
In the training team, Emily went through a series of trials. She carried out high-intensity training. She needed to improve not only the batting skills but also perseverance and the sense of teamwork. Her coach often encouraged her and said, “Anyone, regardless of ability, could find success.”
A few years later, Emily’s efforts paid off. She got her chance. As a member of the national team, she took part in an important international competition. That was the stage for her to show her skills, and it was also the important moment for her to realize her dream.

【答案】参考范文:
In the competition, Emily found herself facing a strong opponent, Lily. Lily was known for her exceptional skills and had won numerous championships. It was intimidating, but Emily never backed down. Many viewers thought Emily was no match for Lily. As the match began, Emily gathered all her energy and put her training to the test. With each precise shot and swift movements, Emily surprised everyone, including Lily. It was a fierce battle. Finally, with a powerful serve, Emily sent the ball flying across the table. It grazed the edge and landed on the opponent’s side, securing her victory.
After the competition, Emily’s story spread throughout the table tennis community. She became an inspiration to other players, especially those born with defects. More and more players joined the team where she was training. And her coach was proud of her. When training new students, he always used Emily as a good example. “Emily’s story teaches us that limitations can serve as a stepping stone to greatness. It reminds us not to let others define our potential. With a resilient spirit, we can achieve anything we set our hearts on, just like Emily did in the world of table tennis.”

I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda (日程), and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct (不同的) from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
24. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world.
25. What does the author mean by the underlined part in paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
26. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic fields.
27. What’s the best title of the text
A. Reading: A Lifelong Hobby B. The Power of Research Papers
C. Novels: Love at Second Sight D. The Benefits of History Reading
C
How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past Have you ever thought about this Aristotle may have written the first observations of myopia around 350 B.C. Because their eyeballs are too long, people with this condition can see objects that are close by, but distant objects tend to look blurry.
Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe. And he noted that “even in the history of the invention of spectacles, that is a late development.”
There are 13th-century European examples of handheld convex lenses that were used to treat age-related vision loss known as presbyopia. But the technology wasn’t applied to treat nearsightedness for another 200 years.
“Because of the way that lens is held, you can see through it, and the artist has captured the effect that the glass has,” Handley said. Myopia could be something of a modern condition. Rates of myopia have risen sharply in recent decades, and researchers have projected that half the world will be myopic by 2050.
Doctors are still trying to figure out the cause behind this trend Some have blamed genetic causes or an increase in studying and screen time.
It’s likely that myopia didn’t affect as many people in the past as it does now. Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t regarded as a priority and that people could have gotten by with this condition by making some adaptations in their lifestyle. Or, maybe there was more of an emphasis on putting people in jobs that were suited to their ability to see, he said.
For example people with myopia were historically valued in artisan contexts, such as medieval European monasteries, where illuminating manuscripts and painting required making tiny, precise skills.
28. What can be learned about the first myopia glasses
A. They came into people’s view around 350 B.C.
B. They could help shorten people’s eyeballs.
C. They didn’t come out until the 15th century.
D. They were initially designed for old people.
29. What does the underlined word “projected” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Noticed. B. Predicted. C. Doubted. D. Conducted.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. People in the past didn’t develop myopia.
B. My opia could be cured by changing one’s lifestyle.
C. People with myopia could also lead a normal life.
D. Most art-related jobs favored near sighted people.
31. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Glasses for nearsighted people have developed a lot.
B. Nearsightedness is increasing at an alarming rate.
C. Various reasons contribute to modern myopia.
D. Myopia was not so disturbing in the past.
D
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
32. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
33. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
34. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.

The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class.____37____In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.

B. That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.

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。
In a small town, there lived a young girl named Emily. She had a deep passion for table tennis and dreamed of becoming a professional player. Despite her young age, she was determined to work hard and make her dream come true.
From the moment when Emily picked up a table tennis paddle, she was impressed by the sport. She spent every spare moment practicing her shots, focusing on her footwork and mastering different techniques. Each time she stepped on the court, she was eager to improve and pushed herself to the limit. Unluckily, Emily faced a visual impairment (缺陷) that threatened to slow her progress. She was born with a condition that affected her sight. Some people doubted her ability to play table tennis and said, “Emily, your impairment is a disadvantage. It is impossible to play table tennis well!”
But Emily refused to let their doubts consume her. With solid determination, Emily turned her impairment into strength. She used her other heightened senses to her advantage, relying on touch and sound to anticipate her opponents’ moves. While others relied on sight, she developed an incredible sense of intuition (直觉) and strategy.
Emily finally excelled in table tennis, achieving incredible milestones and representing her town in many competitions. She became an advocate of the sport in her town. However, Emily decided not to settle for winning in her comfort zone but to challenge for something higher. She joined a training team guided by a world-class coach, which brought together the world’s top table tennis players.
In the training team, Emily went through a series of trials. She carried out high-intensity training. She needed to improve not only the batting skills but also perseverance and the sense of teamwork. Her coach often encouraged her and said, “Anyone, regardless of ability, could find success.”
A few years later, Emily’s efforts paid off. She got her chance. As a member of the national team, she took part in an important international competition. That was the stage for her to show her skills, and it was also the important moment for her to realize her dream.
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。
In the competition, Emily found herself facing a strong opponent, Lily.
