【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍语义饱和的现象，即当一个词被频繁提及时，它会影响我们对它的理解。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“If a word is said or looked at steadily for some little time, it will be found to take on a curiously strange and foreign aspect. This is a phenomenon called semantic satiation that affects our understanding of words when they are mentioned too often. (如果一个词被说出来或被注视一小段时间，就会发现它呈现出一种奇怪而陌生的面貌。这是一种被称为语义饱和的现象，当一个词被频繁提及时，它会影响我们对它的理解。)”可知语义饱和是一种由单词的重复引起的现象。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“For example, “Black Friday (a shopping day)” is no longer as appealing as it once was. We’ve repeated “Black Friday” so much that it is now as indistinct as the packages of common Wal - Mart string cheese that you go past hurriedly on your way to argue over a half- price vegetable steamer at 3 a. m. Hence, marketers are reconsidering their sales strategies. (例如，“黑色星期五”不再像以前那样吸引人了。我们把“黑色星期五”重复得如此之多，以至于它现在就像你在凌晨三点匆匆走过的路上为了半价蔬菜蒸笼而争吵的普通沃尔玛奶酪包装一样模糊不清。因此，营销人员正在重新考虑他们的销售策略。)”可知“黑色星期五”不再像以前那样吸引人，意思人们对“黑色星期五”失去了狂热。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“One experiment he conducted sought to explore whether semantic satiation could be used to lessen stuttering (口吃). (他进行的一项实验试图探索语义饱和是否可以用来减轻口吃。)”和最后两句“The goal was to induce (诱发) semantic satiation in the stuttering participant related to the emotion of the stress - inducing phone call. And he says it worked. (目的是诱导与压力诱导的电话情绪相关的口吃参与者的语义满足。他说这很有效。)”可推知，口吃参与者的实验结果是减轻了口吃，口吃得到改善，故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“One study showed that when presented with a tone, the sleeping cat immediately woke up. But as they played the tone again and again, the cat took time to wake up each time, until it kept on sleeping. But when the tone was varied slightly, the cat woke up immediately. Therefore, when teachers assign word memorization exercises to students, it is wise to avoid repetitive memorization or the words will become meaningless to students. (一项研究表明，当给睡着的猫一个音调时，它会立即醒来。但是，当他们一遍又一遍地播放这个音调时，猫每次都想要起来，但结果又继续睡了。但当声音稍有变化时，猫就立刻醒了。因此，当教师给学生布置单词记忆练习时，避免重复记忆是明智的，否则这些单词对学生来说就会变得毫无意义。)”可推知，对老师来说，猫实验意味着老师给学生练习记忆单词的时候，要避免重复，强调变化。故选B。
32．B 33．C 34．B 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了很多人对数学的普遍误解是它在学术环境之外是无用的，但作者通过自身经历发现这一想法是错误的，论述了数学在生活中无处不在。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Like many people, I once firmly believed we study math merely to finish our homework and pass math exams and that math is only relevant to those who would like to pursue a career as scientists. However, this perception later turned out to be absolutely ridiculous.(和许多人一样，我曾经坚信我们学习数学只是为了完成作业和通过数学考试，数学只与那些想要成为科学家的人有关。然而，这种看法后来被证明是绝对荒谬的)”可知，很多人对数学的普遍误解是它在学术环境之外是无用的。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段“One turning point was when I was 16, while washing dishes, I noticed that the soap bubbles were packed together like a honeycomb, but not all of these shapes were perfectly round. Why did some of the bubbles look like hexagons (六边形) Why didn’t I see any star-shaped bubbles (一个转折点是在我16岁的时候，在洗碗的时候，我注意到肥皂泡像蜂巢一样挤在一起，但并不是所有的形状都是完美的圆形。为什么有些气泡看起来像六边形？什么我没有看到任何星形气泡？)”以及第三段中“When I learned that math could help answer these questions, I realized math pops up even in our kitchen sink.(当我知道数学可以帮助回答这些问题时，我意识到即使在我们的厨房水槽里，数学也会出现)”可知，作者与肥皂泡的经历突出了数学在日常生活中意想不到的存在。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段“When I learned that math could help answer these questions, I realized math pops up even in our kitchen sink. You may worry that learning many topics in elementary school, like percentages and measurements, is a waste of time. But your concern is definitely unnecessary. Look at these examples and you’ll know what I mean. If you want to build a fence around your house or paint your walls a new color, all of those activities require knowledge about measurement and scaling. More complicated construction projects, such as building a tree house, require lots of mathematical problem-solving skills.(当我知道数学可以帮助回答这些问题时，我意识到即使在我们的厨房水槽里，数学也会出现。你可能会担心，在小学学习许多主题，如百分比和测量，是浪费时间。但你的担心完全没有必要。看看这些例子，你就知道我的意思了。如果你想在你的房子周围建一个篱笆，或者给你的墙涂上一种新的颜色，所有这些活动都需要有关测量和缩放的知识。更复杂的建筑项目，如建造树屋，需要大量的数学解决能力)”可知，在第三段中提到了几个例子是为了证明基础数学技能的价值。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Math is so much more than filling out homework problem sets. So next time you kickback to watch your favorite animated movie, or start saving up for a fancy tech device, hopefully, you’ll appreciate how math is integrated into so many parts of life.(数学远不只是填家庭作业的问题。所以，下次当你放松一下，去看你最喜欢的动画电影，或者开始攒钱买一个漂亮的科技设备时，希望你能体会到数学是如何融入生活的方方面面的)”结合文章主要说明了很多人对数学的普遍误解是它在学术环境之外是无用的，但作者通过自身经历发现这一想法是错误的，论述了数学在生活中无处不在。可知，A选项“数学无处不在”最符合文章标题。故选A。
36．D 37．G 38．B 39．F 40．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了改善睡眠的几个技巧。
36．根据空格前的句子“Experts say nearly one-third of American adults don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours a night. The major causes (专家表示，近三分之一的美国成年人没有达到建议的每晚7到9小时的睡眠时间。主要原因是什么 )”可知，空格处的句子应该是回答上一句的问题，即：人们缺乏睡眠的主要原因是什么？D项“They include stress and a culture that is all about work, not rest(它们包括压力和一种只注重工作而不是休息的文化)”正是该为题的答案：压力和一种只注重工作而不是休息的文化。所以，D项填入空格处，符合语境。故选D项。
37．空格前的句子“Work-related stress is unavoidable.(工作压力是不可避免的。)”说工作压力不可避免；而空格后的例子“For example, don’t check email just before going to bed. Instead, create a routine where you can relax with a book or engage in a hobby with your loved ones.(例如，不要在睡觉前查看电子邮件。相反，你应该养成一种习惯，在那里你可以看书放松，或者和你爱的人一起从事一项爱好。)”是建议睡觉前不要去干和工作有关的事，所以，空格处的句子应该和上文是转折关系，和下文是顺接关系，建议睡觉前忘掉工作，所以G项“But you can leave your daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bedtime(但是你可以在睡前一小时左右把你的日常工作抛在脑后)”填入空格处，符合语境。关系G项。
38．空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文“‘Eating a large meal can disrupt your sleep because it’s like giving your body a really large job to do right before sleep at a time when things are supposed to be shutting down.’ said Dr. Annise Wilson, a professor at Baylor University. ‘But don’t go to bed super-hungry. either. Try snacks with protein or healthy fats, like cheese or peanut butter on whole grain bread.’(‘吃一顿大餐会扰乱你的睡眠，因为这就像在睡觉前给你的身体一个非常大的工作要做，而这个时候一切都应该停止。’贝勒大学教授安妮丝·威尔逊博士说。‘但是不要饿着肚子睡觉。试试含有蛋白质或健康脂肪的零食，比如全麦面包上的奶酪或花生酱。’)”可知，该部分主要是建议注意饮食。所以，B项“Watch what you eat(注意饮食)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选B项。
39．空格前的句子“While alcohol can help you fall asleep initially, it can disrupt your sleep cycle, reducing the quality of sleep and increasing the chances you’ll wake up more often in the middle of the night. Caffeine can block adenosine, a chemical that contributes to the feeling of sleepiness and it can take your body up to 4 hours to clear caffeine.(虽然酒精可以帮助你入睡，但它会扰乱你的睡眠周期，降低睡眠质量，增加你在半夜醒来的几率。 咖啡因可以阻止腺苷，这种化学物质会让你感到困倦，你的身体可能需要4个小时才能清除咖啡因。)”是说喝酒或喝咖啡对睡眠的不良影响，所以，空格处的句子应该是建议“睡觉前不喝酒或咖啡”，所以F项“For these reasons, finish up your coffee or wine several hours before bedtime(由于这些原因，在睡觉前几小时喝完咖啡或酒)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选F项。
40．空格处是Dr. Annise Wilson所说的话，根据下文他说的“Then it’s time to seek some professional help.(那么是时候寻求一些专业帮助了。)”可知，空格处应该是说对睡眠没有作用的方面，才涉及到下文的“寻求一些专业帮助”，所以，C项“At a certain point, even relaxation won’t work(在某种程度上，即使放松也不起作用)”填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系，符合语境。故选C项。
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. B 44. A 45. C 46. D 47. A 48. B 49. B 50. B 51. D 52. A 53. D 54. D 55. C

1．范文：
Upon hearing this, my son stopped his bicycle and turned to look behind him. He saw the fallen rider clutching his arm in pain. Without hesitation, my son rushed over, his concern evident as he checked on the injured competitor. “Are you okay ” he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry. The other racers sped past them, focusing on the finish line, but my son remained by the fallen rider’s side. He helped him up gently and supported him as they walked together towards the finish line. Despite the pain, the injured rider managed a grateful smile.
In the end, my son missed the chance to win the championship. However, witnessing this act of kindness filled me with immense pride. As we drove home that evening, I couldn’t help but reflect on how our family’s commitment to serving others had truly shaped his character. I recalled how he carefully helped the injured rider to his feet, supporting him as they made their way off the track together. His hands were steady yet gentle, his movements deliberate and comforting. It was moments like these that reaffirmed my belief in the power of leading a life dedicated to helping those in need.

In her tiny home in the capital of Greece, Athens, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted (编织) thousands of brightly colored scarves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine. Her knitting needles clicked through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them,” she said.
Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughters estimate. In the beginning, the scarves were gifted to friends. As the number of scarves grew, they were donated to children’s shelters across Greece. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The newly knitted scarves, numbering over 70, went to a refugee (难民) camp near Athens this winter, via the UN refugee agency UNHCR.
“The fact that we give them away gives her strength,” said her daughter Angeliki.
She related simple artwork and mail her mother received over the years: Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people. “That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words.” Angeliki says her mother is an example of strength and optimism.
Now Matsouka knits one scarf a day. Waking up every morning, she drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a short sleep, and then painstakingly knits into the night. Her eyesight suffers and she sometimes has severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia. However, she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka said.
She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she said, sitting beside a big blue bag filled with the knitting materials.
24．Who were Matsouka’s latest creations donated to
A．Her friends and relatives.
B．The children in a refugee camp near Athens.
C．The kids in Bosnia and Ukraine.
D．The people in shelters across Greece.
25．What is Angeliki’s attitude towards what her mother is doing
A．Tolerant. B．Disapproving. C．Favorable. D．Indifferent.
26．What do we know about Matsouka from paragraph 4
A．She is used to rising early. B．She is disciplined and humble.
C．She is organized and strong-willed. D．She is unconcerned about her appearance.
27．Which statement will Matsouka probably agree with
A．One is never too old to learn.
B．Actions speak louder than words.
C．One cannot be in two places at once.
D．The more you give, the happier you will be.
C
If a word is said or looked at steadily for some little time, it will be found to take on a curiously strange and foreign aspect. This is a phenomenon called semantic satiation that affects our understanding of words when they are mentioned too often.
The term was created by psychologist Leon James. He conducted several experiments to explore how the concept affects our thinking and found that it is a kind of tiredness called reactive inhibition (反应性抑制). When a brain cell fires, it takes more energy to fire afterwards, and finally it won’t even respond unless you wait a few seconds.
For example, “Black Friday (a shopping day)” is no longer as appealing as it once was. We’ve repeated “Black Friday” so much that it is now as indistinct as the packages of common Wal-Mart string cheese that you go past hurriedly on your way to argue over a half- price vegetable steamer at 3 a. m. Hence, marketers are reconsidering their sales strategies.
One experiment he conducted sought to explore whether semantic satiation could be used to lessen stuttering (口吃). He had an assistant call a stuttering participant and they talked on the phone for one minute, creating a situation that increased anxiety as there were no alternative means of communication for the participant other than speaking. Ten minutes later, the assistant called again. And the cycle was repeated 10 times throughout the day. The goal was to induce (诱发) semantic satiation in the stuttering participant related to the emotion of the stress - inducing phone call. And he says it worked.
Any word can be the victim of semantic satiation, but the amount of time before words lose meaning can vary, with words that can draw out strong emotions taking longer due to the brain cycling through other associations with the words. One study showed that when presented with a tone, the sleeping cat immediately woke up. But as they played the tone again and again, the cat took time to wake up each time, until it kept on sleeping. But when the tone was varied slightly, the cat woke up immediately. Therefore, when teachers assign word memorization exercises to students, it is wise to avoid repetitive memorization or the words will become meaningless to students.
28．Which of the following can best explain “semantic satiation”
A．It’s a kind of serious language learning disability.
B．It’s a reflection of the subjective nature of language.
C．It’s a practice of rearranging letters to form new words.
D．It’s an occurrence arising from the repetition of words.
29．How does semantic satiation affect “Black Friday” according to the text
A．People lose their craze for “Black Friday”.
B．People start buying Wal- Mart string cheese.
C．People merely show interest in goods on sale.
D．People make the best of some shopping strategies.
30．What’s the result of the experiment involving a stuttering participant
A．The participant’s stuttering improved. B．The participant’s stuttering was cured.
C．The participant became more stressed. D．The participant failed to communicate.
31．What’s the implication of the cat experiment on teachers
A．Delivering classes in a clear tone.
B．Employing variations in word exercises.
C．Highlighting the importance of the word meaning.
D．Encouraging students to get up early in the morning.

“Why do indeed to study math ” This is a question I used to ask every time I encountered difficult primary school math questions or every time I did not feel like doing my math homework. Like many people, I once firmly believed we study math merely to finish our homework and pass math exams and that math is only relevant to those who would like to pursue a career as scientists. However, this perception later turned out to be absolutely ridiculous.
One turning point was when I was 16, while washing dishes, I noticed that the soap bubbles were packed together like a honeycomb, but not all of these shapes were perfectly round. Why did some of the bubbles look like hexagons (六边形) Why didn’t I see any star-shaped bubbles
When I learned that math could help answer these questions, I realized math pops up even in our kitchen sink. You may worry that learning many topics in elementary school, like percentages and measurements, is a waste of time. But your concern is definitely unnecessary. Look at these examples and you’ll know what I mean. If you want to build a fence around your house or paint your walls a new color, all of those activities require knowledge about measurement and scaling. More complicated construction projects, such as building a tree house, require lots of mathematical problem-solving skills.
Studios like Pixar rely on ideas from geometry (几何学) to bring characters like Ember from Elemental to life. With an understanding of geometric transformations like reflections, rotations and translations, you can use your computer to make your own animated films.
Many high-paying jobs use math, especially probability. Understanding probability helps doctors identify how effective medical treatments will be, informs coaches about ways their teams can improve and aids code experts in keeping private information secret.
Math is so much more than filling out homework problem sets. So next time you kickback to watch your favorite animated movie, or start saving up for a fancy tech device, hopefully, you’ll appreciate how math is integrated into so many parts of life.
32．What is many people’s common misunderstanding about math
A．It is a very complex subject.
B．It is useless outside of academic settings.
C．Math exams are too challenging for many pupils.
D．Math scores can be boosted greatly through homework.
33．The author’s experience with soap bubbles highlights ________
A．the artistic beauty of soap bubbles
B．the role of chemistry in soap bubble formation
C．the unexpected presence of math in daily situations
D．the importance of observation skills in everyday life
34．Why are several examples mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．To emphasize the complexity of some math concepts.
B．To demonstrate the value of foundational math skills.
C．To prove the significance of problem-solving abilities.
D．To show the challenges of practical applications of math.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Math Is Here, There, and Everywhere
B．How Should Math Be Taught in Schools
C．Math Is Still a Universal but Difficult Language
D．Can Math Help Us Unlock Good Job Opportunities

Both of my parents have taught me the values of service and compassion from a young age. Growing up, they both chose service professions — my mother as a dedicated nurse and my father as a passionate teacher. They not only worked tirelessly in their respective fields but also spent their nights and weekends volunteering, emphasizing the importance of helping others in need. Their dedication and selflessness gave me a lesson that a life dedicated to serving others is one that is truly fulfilling and meaningful.
Inspired by their examples, I pursued a career in medicine, becoming a physician. For the past 11 years, I have been working closely with the homeless community, providing them with much needed medical care and support. It has been a challenging yet rewarding journey, as I witness firsthand the impact I can make on improving the lives of those who are often overlooked and marginalized (被边缘化).
And my commitment to these things is the spirit that I have passed to my son. I am a proud mother to a boy who shares my enthusiasm for adventures as well as the love for others. He is an enthusiastic bike riders, and I have always encouraged him to pursue his passion while instilling (灌输) in him the values of empathy and kindness.
I vividly remember his first biking race, where he fearlessly took the lead and even managed to catch some air with his daring jumps. It was an exhilarating moment for him, and I couldn’t have been prouder. However, it was the last moment in the race that surprised me that day.
As the race progressed, competitors were approaching the finishing line. My son was still in the lead during the race, with the second-place rider closely behind him. Suddenly, the rider behind him crashed, flying off his bike. The sound of piercing screams filled the air.
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。
Upon hearing this, my son stopped his bicycle and turned to look behind him.
