I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special.
In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.
When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room.
Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She felt uneasy about owning old books.
B. She was on bad terms with her parents.
C. She grew fondness for reading classics.
D. She was often gifted old books by her parents.
25. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade
A. Confused B. Scared C. Discouraged. D. Astonished.
26. What does the author mean by saving “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3
A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books.
B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books.
C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf.
D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read.
27. What is the best title of the text
A. My Passion for Reading
B. My Connection With Parents via Old Books
C. My Encounter With the Harry Potter Series
D. My Journey With Old Books
C
Humans make decisions using statistical information every day. For example, we weigh the likelihood of various factors when deciding what to bet in card games.
However, humans aren’t alone in using statistical inferences in decision-making. Until now, human cousins like monkeys and also some birds have been identified as the only animals to show evidence of reasoning based on probability and statistics, which requires advanced mental power. These animals have large brains relative to their body size, which is often associated with high intelligence.
Researchers from the University of Barcelona oppugned such statements and suspected that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could perform statistical reasoning as well.
Giraffes were an ideal choice. But researchers had a concern: When we choose a checkout line at a grocery store, we typically just count the number of people in each line, not weighing the probability. Statistical reasoning is quite distinct from basic counting. Giraffes have already exhibited an ability to perform quantity discrimination, being able to tell a larger number of items from a smaller number, which poses a challenge for the researchers to confirm their suspicion.
So the research team settled on a special approach where they started with a mixture of carrots the animal desires along with zucchinis (密生西葫芦)they dislike and varied the number and proportion (比例) of both items.
The researchers placed different proportions of carrots and zucchinis into two plastic containers to test whether the giraffes could predict a higher likelihood of receiving a carrot. Each test consisted of 20 trials in which a researcher selected a piece of food from each container without showing it to the giraffes. The giraffes then touched the hand they wanted to eat from, using only the information they had from the containers.
In the first test, where one container had 20 carrots and 80 zucchinis and another had go carrots and 20 zucchinis, each giraffe chose the hand that had a higher probability of holding a carrot at least 17 times. In the following two tests, the proportion of carrots and zucchinis was changed. Yet again the giraffes chose correctly.
The combined results indicated that the researchers’ idea held water.
28. What can be inferred in paragraph 2
A. Statistical reasoning is unique to humans.
B. Animals with larger bodies have larger brains.
C. Large animals are smart enough to perform reasoning.
D. Brain size is positively related to intelligence.
29. What does the underlined word “oppugned” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Declared. B. Questioned. C. Explained. D. Applauded.
30. Why did the research team introduce a special approach to the study
A. To test the giraffes’ ability to perform basic counting.
B. To determine whether giraffes prefer carrots or zucchinis.
C. To rule out the effect of giraffes’ quantity discrimination.
D. To observe the giraffes’ behavior in different situations.
31. What do the test results show
A. Giraffes are capable of statistical reasoning.
B. Giraffes’ sense of proportion is relatively limited.
C. Giraffes rely on visual information to make food choices.
D. Giraffes’ food preferences can be changed through training.
D
Many philosophers and psychologists have argued that empathy (共情)is a natural characteristic, hard-wired into our genes and brains. The reasoning goes that each of us has a “level” of empathy and—like our adult height—we're stuck there for life. This is all well and good if you’re already empathetic, but also means that if you struggle with empathy, you’ll never improve no matter how hard you try.
Thankfully, this view is incomplete. Through the right practices, such as diverse friendships and even fiction reading, we can grow our empathy on purpose. Empathy is something like a muscle: left unused, it weakens; put to work, it grows.
No emotion is always useful, and that goes for empathy as well. This is especially true for nurses, doctors and other caregivers. These individuals are driven to their work by a deep desire to help others. Patients of empathetic doctors are more satisfied with their care. However, when healthcare professionals care too much, they are at high risk of burnout, tiredness and depression from over-empathizing with others’ suffering.
Some psychologists, including myself, are now exploring how people in these professions might empathize in more sustainable ways. For example, empathetic concern-feeling for someone—is distant from emotional empathy—feeling as someone else does. If they can develop concern instead, for example, they can care without falling apart.
In another set of studies conducted with Carol Dweek, a Stanford professor of psychology, we found that merely believing empathy is a skill that can be developed inspired people to try harder at it. For instance, people who were encouraged to have a “growth mindset” around empathy, as compared to a fixed mindset, spent more time listening to the suffering of someone of another race and more energy towards trying to understand the opinions of someone from a different part of the political divide.
32. What view do many philosophers and psychologists have about empathy
A. It grows when practiced often.
B. It is a result of individual experiences.
C. It is inborn and difficult to develop.
D. It varies depending on one’s upbringing.
33. What does the author suggest doctors do
A. Develop their emotional empathy.
B. Try to erase their patients’ concern.
C. Care for their patients as much as possible.
D. Work on improving their empathetic concern.
34. Based on Carol Dweek’s studics.in which situation are people willingly empathetic
A. If they believe that empathy is flexible.
B. If they are given enough attention.
C. If they listen to the identical political views.
D. If they suffer racial discrimination.
35. In which unit of a textbook docs the text most likely appear
A. Understanding yourself more. B. Feeling for others.
C. Exploring genes and emotions. D. Repairing broken relationships.

A Century of Change
The last 100 years have seen major transformations in news reporting. Print newspapers dominated the early 1900s, but in November 1922, the dawn (曙光) of radio news arrived when the BBC launched its first daily radio service. It marketed itself as news by and for social elites (精英). 36 In the 1950s, news shifted to television broadcasting. A dramatic change came in 1980 with the creation of America’s Cable News Network (CNN)—the world’s first 24-hour television news network.
37 The Internet has become a key site for sharing information, and news is more accessible than it has ever been before. Crises can be reported from on the ground by people who closely understand them. Stories can be shared with the click of a button. 38 In the time it takes for a story to move from a news site to Facebook to your WhatsApp group chat, context is lost and facts go unchecked.
In 2016, we witnessed an important moment for the news landscape. Following a US election dogged by dishonesty and misinformation spread largely on social media, Oxford Dictionaries announced “post-truth” as its international word of the year. 39
With so much information at our fingertips, the considerable volume of news can be irresistible. Besides, there is increasing uncertainty about what is true and what is not. So it is no wonder that recent years have seen the birth of the “slow journalism” movement, which was first coined in 2007 by Susan Greenberg. 40 .
A. However, that can be dangerous.
B. Frequency of the word’s usage rose by 2,000 per cent that year.
C. Besides, it required broadcasters to use “received pronunciation”.
D. The creation of the World Wide Web in the 1990s changed things again.
E. So, the mark of a good story was how soon it was told after it happened.
F. It invites us to slow down and pay attention to what’s happening around us.
G. People still mainly rely on newspapers for local information.

56 (compare) with Chinese festivals, which often center around family reunion (团聚) and respecting ancestors, western festivals tend to emphasize celebration, 57 ( reflect ) a more individualistic culture. Take Christmas as an example. At its heart 58 (lie) the story of Jesus Christ’s birth, a symbol of love, hope and rebirth. This festival is celebrated worldwide, showing the agreement of faith and culture across borders.
On the other hand, the Chinese Spring Festival is a festival marking the turn of the calendar year. It’s a time 59 millions of people travel home to be with their families, engaging in traditions such as cleaning houses, cooking special dishes, and setting off fireworks. The festival’s emphasis on family ties and continuity 60 (root) in Confucian values and reflects the collectivist nature of Chinese society.
However, despite these apparent differences, both cultures have something in common: their festivals are all in celebration 61 life and the pursuit of happiness. Western festivals like Thanksgiving and Halloween, which have religious origins, have gradually developed into occasions for family gatherings, gratitude sharing and creative expressions. 62 (similar), Chinese festivals like Mid-Autumn Festival promote family reunion and 63 (appreciate) for nature’s beauty.
In conclusion, 64 Chinese and Western festivals differ in many ways, they both serve as powerful expressions of culture, values, and the human spirit. Through these celebrations, we can gain a deeper understanding of each other’s traditions and form mutual respect, which can in turn make for 65 (harmony) relationships and a truly global community.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
My father was sixty-five. Though he had planned on retiring at sixty, he was still working hard. For him, raising four children—especially now that my mother had stopped working and was at home full time—meant he couldn’t afford to retire. It also meant he failed to achieve anything he promised my mom. “Sweetheart,” he’d say, “I’m going to take you on a cruise (乘船游览).” He still told her that, and only these days he added, “as soon as the kids are out of college.”
I knew that putting all of us kids through college probably meant it was going to be a while before my father achieved his dream of going away with my mother on a cruise—though it didn’t stop him from cutting out ads about cruise vacations! It was cute, but it was kind of sad, too. I remember my grandmother always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. My grandfather would always say, “We’ll go next year, sweetheart.” Then she died. My grandmother never got to see Nova Scotia. I just didn’t want my parents to wait until it was too late.
I decided to save up my money to send my parents on a cruise even if it was a short three-day cruise. My friends said to me, “Get real! Saving up for a cruise is something you will never be able to do.” But I didn’t believe that. It was not like I could send them around the world or anything, but I didn’t think my putting together the money for a short trip was an impossible goal. I was determined that just as my parents had made my dreams come true for all these years from my first bicycle to my first soccer camp—I was going to do all I could to make their dream of going on a cruise come true.
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。
I started doing odd jobs (零工) and yard work around the neighborhood. One year later, I finally saved up enough money!

22.D【解析】理解具体信息。根据Physical Demands部分可知，店员需要收货、上架、放置重达20公斤的重物等，以及Qualifications部分要求的操作千斤顶、打包机可知，应聘店员的人要力气大，身体灵活。故选D项。
23.A【解析】作出判断推理。根据Salary部分可知，一周最少工作10小时，每小时的最低工资标准是15美元，每周的奖金不少于30美金。故一个兼职店员每周最少可赚得180美元。故选A项。
B
【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。属于“人与自我”主题语境。讲述了作者对旧书的感情从讨厌到喜欢的转变。
24.A【解析】作出判断推理。根据第一段中的hate及books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort可知，对作者来说，拥有旧书是一件令人不舒服，不自在的事。故选A项。
25.C【解析】作出判断推理。作者在第二段开头提到她想要进入一个全新的阅读世界，恰在此时，她发现了父母的《哈利·波特》系列，这正是她想要的。又根据第二段中的Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books可知，这套书的破旧程度让作者觉得无法阅读。由此可推知，作者在看到这套书的破旧样子后感到很沮丧。故选C项。
26.B【解析】作出判断推理。第三段中的I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like是对I was kind of a changed woman的解释：作者之所以说自己有点变了是因为她开始更多地关注书的内容而忽略书的品相了。故选B项。
27.D【解析】理解主旨要义。本文主要讲述作者对旧书的感情变化。她一开始讨厌旧书，但是在看了父母给她的《哈利·波特》系列的旧书后，就开始更多地关注书的内容而不是书的品相，这次经历改变了她对旧书的感情。D项作标题最能概括全文主旨。故选D项。
C
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。属于“人与自然”主题语境。通过以长颈鹿为实验对象的三次对比，文章说明了相对于体形而言，大脑相对较小的动物也能具备统计推理的能力。
28.D【解析】作出判断推理。第二段说明统计推理需要高级的心智，迄今为止，科学家们认为动物界只有人类近亲和一些鸟类具备这一能力，因为它们有着相对较大的大脑，而脑容量和智力呈正相关。故选D项。
29.B【解析】词义猜测。画线词上文说明了科学家们认为脑容量大的动物才具备统计推理能力，再结合画线词后一句可知，研究人员对已有的论断持质疑的态度，故可知答案。故选B项。
30.C【解析】作出判断推理。根据第四段后两句以及第五段可知，研究人员指出统计推理与基本的计数是截然不同的。所以为了排除长颈鹿基于数量区分做出选择这一可能性，他们引入了一个特别的方法。故选C项。
31.A【解析】理解具体信息。根据第六段test whether the giraffes could predict a higher likelihood of receiving a carrot及第七、八段实验的结论可知，长颈鹿具有统计推理的能力。故选A项。
D
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。属于“人与社会”主题语境。与他人共情是一种十分重要的促进人际关系的能力。然而，长久以来，共情能力被认为是天生的，由基因决定，一成不变。作为一名心理学家，作者认为，共情能力可以在后天通过多种方式进行培养。
32.C【解析】理解具体信息。根据第一段的内容可知，许多哲学家和心理学家认为共情是一种天生的特质，(从出生起就)已经在我们的基因和大脑中。根据这样的论调，我们每个人的共情能力是特定的，就像我们成年后的身高一样一生都无法改变。由此可知在这些哲学家和心理学家看来共情能力的高低从出生就决定了。故选C项。
33.D【解析】理解具体信息。根据第三段中的when healthcare professionals care too much, they are at high risk of burnout, tiredness, and depression from over-empathizing with others’ suffering 可知，护士、医生和其他医护人员极有可能因为过度共情他人的痛苦而面临倦怠、疲劳和抑郁的风险。再根据第四段中的For example, empathetic concern ... If they can develop concern instead, for example, they can care without falling apart可知，作者建议医护人员培养empathetic concern，这样就能在关心他人的同时保持自身的情绪稳定。故选D项。
34.A【解析】作出判断推理。根据最后一段中的we found that merely believing empathy is a skill that can be developed inspired people to try harder at it 可知，仅仅相信共情是一种可以发展的技能就能激励人们更加努力地去实践共情。正确选项中的empathy is flexible概括了原文中的empathy is a skill that can be developed。故选A项。
35.B【解析】作出判断推理。文章就“共情”展开讨论，共情是一种对他人的情感产生共鸣或表现出共情和同理心的能力。本文若作为教材文本，最有可能出现在B项所述“体会他人情感”的单元中。故选B项。
第二节
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。属于“人与社会”主题语境。新闻报道的方式从过去到现在的一百多年中发生了巨大的变化。
36.C【解析】根据前文可知，在1922年11月，当英国广播公司推出首个每日电台广播服务时，电台新闻广播的曙光来了。设空处前一句又提到It marketed itself as news by and for social elites (精英)，即首个每日电台广播服务将自身作为社会精英新闻进行营销。C项承接前文指出：此外，它要求播音员使用标准发音，故符合此处语境。故选C项。
37.D【解析】上一段最后一句提到，随着CNN的出现，新闻业在1980年发生了巨大的变化；而本段主要讲述了互联网给新闻报道带来的影响。因此设空处选择D项来起到承上启下的作用。D项中的changed things again承接上一段最后一句中的A dratmatic change，D项中的the World Wide web 与该空后的The Internet呼应。故选D项。
38.A【解析】根据该空前的 Stories can be shared with the click of a button和该空后的context is lost and facts go unchecked可知，互联网提高新闻时效性的同时，也有可能使内容失真，这种情况就会很危险。故选A项。
39.B【解析】本段主要讲述了牛津词典在2016年发布的年度国际词汇 post-truth，B项中的the word 与设空处前面的post-truth相呼应，故B项内容符合此处语境。故选B项。
40.F【解析】本段主要讲述了“慢新闻”运动这一理念的诞生。随着大量的新闻涌现，至于哪些是真，哪些是假，这让人们不知所措，所以我们要放慢脚步，关注周围发生的事情。F项中的slow down与该空前的slow为词汇复现，it指代前句中的“slow journalism”movement。故选F项。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。属于“人与社会”主题语境。互动小说是一种作者创作并让读者通过选择参与其中的文学形式。

【范文一】
I started doing odd jobs (零工) and yard work around the neighborhood. I weeded the garden, washed cars, and even babysat for families in the area to earn some extra money. It was hard work, but I knew it would all be worth it in the end. Every penny I earned went into a secret savings account that I had set up specifically for my parents’ cruise fund. I resisted the temptation (诱惑) to spend the money on other things and stayed focused on my goal.
One year later, I finally saved up enough money! I couldn’t believe it when I checked my savings account balance and saw the total. I was thrilled. The first thing I did was contact the cruise company and book a three-day cruise for my parents. They spent three days exploring new places, relaxing and enjoying each other’s company without any worries. It was a much-needed break from their busy lives, and I was grateful to have played a part in making it happen.
【范文二】
I started doing odd jobs (零工)and yard work around the neighborhood. I took on more jobs and put in extra hours whenever I could. It wasn’t always easy, and there were times when I felt exhausted and discouraged, but the thought of my parents finally going on that long-awaited cruise kept me going. It wasn’t just about a cruise; it was about showing my parents how much they meant to me. I knew that every dollar I earned was a step closer to making their dream a reality.
One year later, I finally saved up enough money! It was an incredible feeling of accomplishment and excitement. I couldn’t wait to surprise my parents. So I rushed to give them an envelope containing the cruise tickets. Their eyes widened with surprise and disbelief as they saw the tickets. Tears of joy filled their eyes, and they gave me a bear hug, thanking me over and over again. At that moment, I knew that all the hard work and sacrifices were worth it.

M: I’ve packed, Abby. And a cab is on the way. The driver will pick us up and bring us right to the airport.

M: Hi, Alice. How was your first week in your new role
W: It’s been quite challenging learning all these new systems and controls, but I’m getting the hang of it.
M: Good to hear. In a month’s time, you’ll be able to do it with your eyes closed.
Text 3
W: It’s almost quitting time, Ben. Are you joining us for dinner after work
M: Not tonight, Sarah. My doctor said I should plan a few quiet nights each week. So, I’ll just make myself a nice meal and have a hot bath at my flat.
Text 4
W: Thanks for coming. We’ve heard a lot about your services. Our entire yard’s grass must get cut. Then, you can begin laying out soil and planting our flower and tomato plant seeds.
M: No problem, ma’am. My landscaping team and I should be finished by lunchtime.

M: Is this pineapple juice I asked the server for a cup of lemon juice.
W: Oh, the pineapple one is mine. She must have mixed our requests up. You asked for the juice with no added sugar, right
M: Exactly. Iced soda water with lemon—that’s how I like it.

W: I need your help, Grandpa. I’ve been out of work for over two months. I thought it’d be easy to find a new job, but I’m looking every day and haven’t found anything.
M: That’s too bad. I wish I could help, but I haven’t looked for a job since I was 20!
W: Stop joking, Grandpa. I’ve been looking everywhere for a position with good pay and benefits—this is all I do daily!
M: I know, dear. I retired six months ago after working for this company for over 30 years! My advice: don’t be shy, don’t fear failure, and keep an open mind.

W: It’s great to have you back from university, dear! Please, come inside. The whole family will return home from the supermarket—we’ll see the car pull into the driveway any minute.
M: Thanks, Mom.
W: So, how was your first semester
M: I started a work-study program at an accounting firm, but I’ve had a sudden change of heart. I’d rather not work with numbers. Instead, I want to switch to a creative field, like literature.
W: That’s a big change!
M: Do you think it’s strange to change majors
W: Oh, I changed my major when I was your age, too. I know you’ll do well in any field. My only concern is about the career opportunities in creative fields. Please keep this in mind while choosing a major.

W: Hi, I’m Helen. I’m retiring soon, so I’m going around this office to speak to all the recently hired staff members like you.
M: It’s an honor, Ms. Schmitt. I’ve been so inspired by the many famous photos you’ve taken throughout your career.
W: I’m glad to hear that. Are you also a photographer
M: No. This company’s owner hired me and my team as video creators. But I love photography, too.
W: Back in the day, I was a photographer because that was the best way to share information. But nowadays, I admire the modern journalists who use video.
M: That’s interesting. Sharing photos, written articles, and interviews has changed our world. But now, I’m wondering what you think is the most critical part of journalism.
W: I’ve learned that it’s not just about being honest and sharing recent events, although that’s crucial. The most essential factor is bringing the world closer together. Globally, we must celebrate victories and support others during difficult times.

M: Here’s an article from today’s paper—I thought you might be interested. It shows that people with strong connections tend to live longer and happier lives.
W: Oh, this is what we were chatting about last week!
M: That’s the reason I brought it for you. Mental health experts show that positive relationships can reduce stress, which is often linked to health issues. When you spend time with your family and friends, your mind produces feel-good chemicals called endorphins(内啡肽).
W: I’ve focused on eating well for self-improvement. But should I consider this along with exercise and sleep
M: Yes—these are all important. But keeping good relationships is powerful yet effortless. Owning a pet, calling relatives, or eating dinner with friends can positively affect health.
W: I’ve always dreamt of keeping a dog at home. Maybe I’ll visit a pet shop this weekend.
M: Great idea. Plus, just remind yourself to enjoy those meaningful moments with your loved ones!

Today, I have some interesting news for animal lovers. Scientists have created a clever way to protect farms from elephants in South Africa. Of course, elephants don’t attack humans or try to cat pets. But when these creatures wander near farms or houses, they can easily crush plants, structures, or cars with their feet. Recently, farmers have started using bees to keep elephants away.
Why would this work Elephants aren’t big fans of bees. When they hear recordings of bees through speakers around the farm, they run away. Bees can sting, and elephants can breathe in these insects through their sensitive noses.
The best part is that it doesn't harm the elephants. It just reminds them to stay away. This creative solution was proposed this spring, with tests of its results beginning this summer and finishing this autumn.
If this works, it will protect farms all over Africa. It’s amazing how creative ideas like this can help protect both animals and farms. Now, let’s hear from the owner of this agricultural center.
