At Beaver Creek, The Extraordinary Awaits You Are no two snowflakes alike The snowflakes we see in the winter are most likely completely unique from one other. Beaver Creek is a great place to experience the beauty of the snow, with programs for everyone—from children, teens, and women-only lessons to small groups and private-guided experiences. First Track, from Beaver Creek Reserve, lets you be the first on the mountain, with an adventure that begins at 7:30 a.m. when you are met by ski professionals and taken on a private, guided tour—before the mountain is open to the public. Once you have skied, you are treated to a delicious breakfast at Allie’s Cabin. If you are looking for a higher level of comfort there is the White Carpet Club, from Beaver Creek Reserve. Located in the heart of Beaver Creek Village, it maximizes your time on the mountain by streamlining your access to it. At the club, there are private lockers and boot dryers, along with preferred self-parking and a slope-side ski waiter. A receptionist can assist with lift tickets, pass purchases, dinner reservations, and activity recommendations. Of course, there is more to explore during the winter in Beaver Creek as well. There is ice skating, snowshoeing, shopping, and spas—you name it, Beaver Creek has it. It is the perfect place to take advantage of the snow and be in the moment, in the mountains, together. The extraordinary is a rare combination of one-of-a-kind experiences designed to be shared with service that exceeds expectation.

For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn’t attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn’t last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self- reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She could change her weight at will.
B. She had different beauty standards from others.
C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.
D. She was greatly influenced by others’ opinions.
25. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”？
A. She was poorly disciplined. B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”．
C. She was labeled as lazy for her weight. D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.
26. What caused the author to make a change
A. Her lighter body. B. A troublesome illness.
C. Popular beauty standards. D. Others’ critical comments.
27. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Beauty matters. B. Opinions vary.
C. Worth your weight. D. Beyond your limits.
C
Professors at the University of California San Diego have developed microrobots, which can be a potential treatment for life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia, a serious disease affecting lungs and making breathing difficult. In mice, the microrobots safely removed pneumonia-causing bacteria in the lungs and resulted in 100% survival while untreated mice all died within three days after infection.
The microrobots are made of algae (藻类) cells whose surfaces are covered with substances that are filled with antibiotics (抗生素). The algae provides movement, which allows the microrobots to swim around and make antibiotics go directly to more bacteria in the lungs, helping absorb bacteria and clear them of infected cells. This give the microrobots the ability to reduce bacterial infection, which in turn makes them more effective at fighting lung infection.
The work is a joint effort by engineering professors Joseph and Zhang Liangfang. Together, they have pioneered the development of tiny drug-delivering robots that can be safely used in live animals to treat bacterial infections in the stomach and blood. Treating bacterial lung infection is the latest in their line of work.
“In the traditional treatment, sometimes only a very small number of antibiotics will get into the lungs. That’s why many current antibiotic treatments for pneumonia don’t work as well as needed,” said Victor Nizet, a co-worker of Joseph and Zhang “Based on these mouse data, we see that the microrobots could potentially improve the use of antibiotics to kill bacteria and save more patients’ lives.”
The work is still at the proof-of-concept stage. The team plans to do more basic research to understand exactly how the microrobots interact with the immune system (免疫系统). Next steps also include studies to confirm the effectiveness of the microrobot treatment before testing it in larger animals and eventually, in humans. “We’re pushing the boundary further in the field of targeted drug delivery,” said Zhang.
28. How do microrobots work
A. By doing targeted drug delivery.
B. By interacting with antibiotic-filled matter.
C. By producing algae cells in lungs.
D. By separating harmful cells from healthy ones.
29. What is Victor Nizet’s attitude towards the invention
A. Doubtful. B. Subjective. C. Cautious. D. Favorable.
30. What does the team expect of the microrobots
A. They’ll inspire a new line of research.
B. They’ll help strengthen the immune system.
C. They’ll have a wider range of application.
D. They’ll be a further proof of their concept.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. A scientific invention treating deadly cancers.
B. Tiny swimming robots helping treat pneumonia.
C. A major breakthrough made in antibiotic research.
D. Microrobots employed in the engineering field.
D
One day in 1995，a large，heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. "But I wore the juice," he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink, so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This "illusion of confidence" is now called" the Dunning-Kruger Effect", and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester-long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man（1871）: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. "
Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities. As much as D-and F-grade students overestimate their abilities, A-grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can adjust their self-assessment if given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.
32. Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger Effect is true
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
33. What does the college students' behaviour mentioned in the experiments prove
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behaviour to make adjustments.
34. The underlined word "begets" can be replaced by “________”.
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of C. makes up for D. breaks away from
35. What can we infer from the passage
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.

Hannah was my best friend, and our bond went beyond mere friendship; we were inseparable. Whether we were exploring new places, laughing until our stomachs hurt, or comforting each other during tough times, our connection grew stronger than anything else in the world. We shared secrets, countless adventures, and, most importantly, our dreams. Both of us aspired to be actresses, and our personalities were equally strong. We were determined and ambitious, always striving to be the best in everything we did.
One day, our school announced an important drama festival, and the highlight of the event was the selection of the leading lady. Hannah and I both set our sights on this prestigious role. As the audition(试镜) approached, our friendship faced a significant test.
The day of the audition arrived, and the tension between us was obvious. We both delivered outstanding performances that left the judges impressed. However, when the final decision was announced, I was devastated to hear that Hannah had been chosen as the leading lady.
The aftermath of the announcement was challenging for me. My ego got the better of me, and I couldn’t handle the overwhelming feeling of being left out. As I saw everyone around us celebrating Hannah’s success, I felt a wave of shame washing over me. Unable to hold back my tears, I impulsively ran out of the audition hall.
Moments later, my phone rang, and I saw that it was Hannah calling. She must have known that I had left. I hesitated, unsure of what to say to her.

【答案】18. B 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】National Hugging Day first started on January 21, 1986. It was created by an American called Kevin Zaborney. He chose January 21 as it fell between the New Year’s holiday and Valentine’s Day, when he found people were generally in low spirits. He created the day to promote the emotional benefits of hugging. This celebration has moved beyond America’s borders and people now celebrate the festival in Australia, Canada, England, Germany and Russia. In America, National Hugging Day is big in schools and hospitals. It is a wonderful way of letting people know how you feel about the man of showing you care. So, on this National Hugging Day, give everyone a big hug and make them feel good! A word of advice — ask before you hug! There is a lot of research that shows hugging is good for us. Dr. Jay Gordon wrote a book called Brighter Baby, which said hugging a child every day is more likely to make him or her more intelligent. Unlike kissing, hugging is acceptable in most societies. It can be a form of greeting between friends, a way of celebrating a victory, or a way of showing your support for someone.

For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn’t attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn’t last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self- reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A She could change her weight at will.
B. She had different beauty standards from others.
C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.
D. She was greatly influenced by others’ opinions.
25. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”？

C. She was labeled as lazy for her weight. D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.
26. What caused the author to make a change
A. Her lighter body. B. A troublesome illness.
C. Popular beauty standards. D. Others’ critical comments.
27. What does the passage mainly tell us

Professors at the University of California San Diego have developed microrobots, which can be a potential treatment for life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia, a serious disease affecting lungs and making breathing difficult. In mice, the microrobots safely removed pneumonia-causing bacteria in the lungs and resulted in 100% survival while untreated mice all died within three days after infection.
The microrobots are made of algae (藻类) cells whose surfaces are covered with substances that are filled with antibiotics (抗生素). The algae provides movement, which allows the microrobots to swim around and make antibiotics go directly to more bacteria in the lungs, helping absorb bacteria and clear them of infected cells. This give the microrobots the ability to reduce bacterial infection, which in turn makes them more effective at fighting lung infection.
The work is a joint effort by engineering professors Joseph and Zhang Liangfang. Together, they have pioneered the development of tiny drug-delivering robots that can be safely used in live animals to treat bacterial infections in the stomach and blood. Treating bacterial lung infection is the latest in their line of work.
“In the traditional treatment, sometimes only a very small number of antibiotics will get into the lungs. That’s why many current antibiotic treatments for pneumonia don’t work as well as needed,” said Victor Nizet, a co-worker of Joseph and Zhang “Based on these mouse data, we see that the microrobots could potentially improve the use of antibiotics to kill bacteria and save more patients’ lives.”
The work is still at the proof-of-concept stage. The team plans to do more basic research to understand exactly how the microrobots interact with the immune system (免疫系统). Next steps also include studies to confirm the effectiveness of the microrobot treatment before testing it in larger animals and eventually, in humans. “We’re pushing the boundary further in the field of targeted drug delivery,” said Zhang.
28. How do microrobots work
A. By doing targeted drug delivery.
B. By interacting with antibiotic-filled matter.
C. By producing algae cells in lungs.
D. By separating harmful cells from healthy ones.
29. What is Victor Nizet’s attitude towards the invention
A. Doubtful. B. Subjective. C. Cautious. D. Favorable.
30. What does the team expect of the microrobots
A. They’ll inspire a new line of research.
B. They’ll help strengthen the immune system.
C. They’ll have a wider range of application.
D. They’ll be a further proof of their concept.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. A scientific invention treating deadly cancers.
B. Tiny swimming robots helping treat pneumonia.
C. A major breakthrough made in antibiotic research.
D. Microrobots employed in the engineering field.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B

One day in 1995，a large，heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. "But I wore the juice," he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink, so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This "illusion of confidence" is now called" the Dunning-Kruger Effect", and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester-long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man（1871）: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. "
Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities. As much as D-and F-grade students overestimate their abilities, A-grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can adjust their self-assessment if given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.
32. Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger Effect is true
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
33. What does the college students' behaviour mentioned in the experiments prove
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behaviour to make adjustments.
34. The underlined word "begets" can be replaced by “________”.
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of C. makes up for D. breaks away from
35. What can we infer from the passage
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. A

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了“邓宁-克鲁格效应”，研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自我评估，而无知的人往往看不到自身的不足，盲目自信，固执己见。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容，尤其是“…some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are.（有些人错误地认为自己的能力比实际要高得多。）”可知，“邓宁-克鲁格效应”指的是一些人会高估自己的能力、过度自信。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.（能力差的人坚持他们的方式是正确的，而不是困惑或思考他们不正确的方式。）”可知，能力差的人不会去反思自己的不正确的方法，而是坚持认为他们的方法是正确的。所以说实验中提到的大学生行为证明了他们非常固执。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.（不称职的人坚持他们的方式是正确的，而不是困惑或思考他们不正确的方式。）”可知，上面的研究表明无知的人更加盲目自信。所以这句话的意思是“无知比知识更容易产生自信”。beget的意思是give rise to，意为“引起”。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段的“Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes.（当然，人们高估自己的能力是很典型的。问题是，当人们无能时，他们不仅会得出错误的结论，做出不幸的选择，而且还会被剥夺意识到自己错误的能力。）”可知，本文主要阐述了“邓宁-克鲁格效应”。研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自我评估，而无知的人往往看不到自己的不足，盲目自信，固执己见。因此，我们可以推断出，真正的知识是知道自己无知的程度。故选A。

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。
Hannah was my best friend, and our bond went beyond mere friendship; we were inseparable. Whether we were exploring new places, laughing until our stomachs hurt, or comforting each other during tough times, our connection grew stronger than anything else in the world. We shared secrets, countless adventures, and, most importantly, our dreams. Both of us aspired to be actresses, and our personalities were equally strong. We were determined and ambitious, always striving to be the best in everything we did.
One day, our school announced an important drama festival, and the highlight of the event was the selection of the leading lady. Hannah and I both set our sights on this prestigious role. As the audition(试镜) approached, our friendship faced a significant test.
The day of the audition arrived, and the tension between us was obvious. We both delivered outstanding performances that left the judges impressed. However, when the final decision was announced, I was devastated to hear that Hannah had been chosen as the leading lady.
The aftermath of the announcement was challenging for me. My ego got the better of me, and I couldn’t handle the overwhelming feeling of being left out. As I saw everyone around us celebrating Hannah’s success, I felt a wave of shame washing over me. Unable to hold back my tears, I impulsively ran out of the audition hall.
Moments later, my phone rang, and I saw that it was Hannah calling. She must have known that I had left. I hesitated, unsure of what to say to her.

【答案】范文
In confusion, I ended up hanging up the phone without a word. Our once intimate friendship soured, and we became strangers to each other. However, memories of our beautiful moments together flooded my mind, reminding me of the dreams we shared and the successes we celebrated. I realized so close were we that I should be proud of Hannah’s achievements, regardless of what had happened. With this epiphany, I decided to mend our friendship and not let jealous y and disappointment cloud my judgment. I mustn’t allow competition to ruin our precious bond. Determined, I took a step towards reconciliation.
On the day of the performance, I took up the courage to attend Hannah’s play. As I watched her shine on stage, my heart swelled with admiration and pride. It became clear to me that Hannah truly deserved the leading role. After the play, I approached Hannah backstage, my heart pounding with nervousness. To my relief, her face lit up with surprise at the sight of me. Without hesitation, I congratulated her on her outstanding performance and sincerely apologized for my previous behavior. The tension that once filled the air between us dissipated, replaced by forgiveness and understanding. Even the strongest friendship can face challenges. However, with love any friendship can weather the storm and emerge even stronger in the end.
