【原文】M: In today’s interview, I’m talking to Molly, a commercial airline pilot. Molly, did you always want to fly
W: I did, yes. My father worked in air traffic control so planes were always a topic of conversation in our house. At first, I wanted to do his job but then there were a few holidays abroad by air. That’s when I developed an interest in becoming professional pilot.
M: So how did you get started
W: It wasn’t easy. I did well at school and went to university. Actually, a degree isn’t necessary for a pilot, but I wanted to have more advantage over others. Then I spent a few years working in sales. It was boring but I needed to save enough money to go to training school to get my private pilot’s license. I then needed to do at least 150 hours of flying time.
M: And then six months ago you started to fly professionally
W: Yes. I’m now a first officer. I get to fly the plane for certain sections of journeys, but it is up to the captain to decide who will fly which sections before we take off.
M: Hmm. So where does your career go from here
W: The next step is senior first officer. That will allow me to fly to more airports and under different weather conditions. Eventually, I can apply to become a captain.

【解析】
【原文】W: Jessica Watson who was born in 1993 became the youngest person to sail non-stop around the world alone in 2010. The journey took seven months. During that time she went through heavy storms and had to do repairs on the boat herself as, according to the rules, she was not allowed to stop at any port halfway or receive anything that another person gave her. She was inspired to make the voyage after reading a book written by the previous record holder Jesse Martin, who sailed around the world at the age of 18. Since completing her voyage, Jesse has written her own book called True Spirit. Jordan Romero, born in 1996, became the youngest person to climb Mount Qomolangma at the age of 14. He was accompanied on the climb by his father. He was inspired to achieve it after seeing a painting at his school which showed the seven continents’ highest peaks. The parents of both Jessica and Jordan have received criticism for allowing their children to put themselves in danger. One sixteen-year-old girl called Janet Gordon lost five fingers from frostbite while attempting to climb Qomolangma two years before Jordan and a Dutch court took a girl away from her parents and put her into state care to stop her attempt to beat Jessica’s record.

Sweta Mantrii, now 36, was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂) in India, which caused her to walk using a walking stick. Despite the physical challenges, she was determined to lead an active life.
Sweta’s foray (尝试) into comedy initially came from her admiration for Indian comedians like Aditi Mittal, Azeem Banatwalla, and Daniel Fernandes. Encouraged by their ability to connect with the audience through humor, she decided to engage in comedy herself, exploring the work of global comedians and shaping her own comedic style.
When Sweta first stepped into comedy in 2016 in her hometown Pune, she noticed people often pulled back when they saw her on stage. “It was difficult because people weren’t used to the idea of a disabled woman doing comedy; it was a real downer,” she recalls.
To get people to accept her as a comic, Sweta began her sets by reading the room and accommodating her jokes to the audience’s moods. It took some time to understand which jokes landed and which didn’t. She spent the first few minutes easing the audience into her performance before delivering her strongest jokes.
At one of her early comedy shows, Sweta faced a tough setup, making it hard for her to manage her stick. She recalls that while previous comics had successfully warmed up the audience, the atmosphere of the room changed when they saw special arrangements made for her. Later, to deal with such problems, Sweta always eases her anxiety by making light of her struggle to get on stage. For example, if the steps are particularly steep and it takes time to climb, she jokes, “Oh, thanks for clapping for two hundred years, guys!”
Sweta’s message to people with similar conditions thinking about starting their own careers is simple: “Own your space and speak your mind confidently, without worrying about how others might react. Be yourself and don’t try to fit into anyone else’s image.”
24. What brought Sweta Mantrii into comedy
A. Her inborn sense of humor.
B. Her parents’ encouragement.
C. Her appreciation of Indian comedians.
D. Her desire to win the fight against spina bifida.
25. How did the audience probably feel about Sweta’s initial performance
A. Relaxed and amused. B. Curious and interested.
C. Concerned and anxious. D. Doubtful and uncomfortable.
26. How did Sweta handle awkward situations on stage
A. She started to seek for help in time.
B. She ignored the audience’s reactions.
C. She adapted her jokes to the audience.
D. She apologized and left the stage quickly.
27. What can we learn from Sweta’s story
A. He laughs best who laughs last.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Walk your way despite what others say.
D. Always believe in the goodness of people.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了身患脊柱裂的Sweta Mantrii克服身体障碍，尝试喜剧表演并取得成功的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“Sweta’s foray (尝试) into comedy initially came from her admiration for Indian comedians like Aditi Mittal, Azeem Banatwalla, and Daniel Fernandes.(Sweta对喜剧的涉足最初源于她对Aditi Mittal、Azeem Banatwalla和Daniel Fernandes等印度喜剧演员的钦佩)”可知，Sweta Mantrii进入喜剧界是因为对印度喜剧演员的欣赏。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“When Sweta first stepped into comedy in 2016 in her hometown Pune, she noticed people often pulled back when they saw her on stage. “It was difficult because people weren’t used to the idea of a disabled woman doing comedy; it was a real downer,” she recalls.(当Sweta于2016年在她的家乡浦那首次涉足喜剧时，她注意到人们在舞台上看到她时经常退缩。她回忆道：“这很难，因为人们不习惯残疾女性演喜剧；这真的很令人沮丧。”)”可知，观众对她的初次表演感到怀疑和不自在。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中“To get people to accept her as a comic, Sweta began her sets by reading the room and accommodating her jokes to the audience’s moods.(为了让人们接受她是一个喜剧演员，Sweta通过研究房间并根据观众的情绪调整她的笑话来开始她的布景)”讲根据观众的情绪调整她的笑话和第五段“For example, if the steps are particularly steep and it takes time to climb, she jokes, “Oh, thanks for clapping for two hundred years, guys!”(例如，如果台阶特别陡峭，需要时间才能爬上去，她开玩笑说：“哦，谢谢你们鼓掌两百年，伙计们！”)”举例用幽默化解尴尬可知，她通过调整笑话适应观众来处理尴尬局面。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“Sweta’s message to people with similar conditions thinking about starting their own careers is simple: “Own your space and speak your mind confidently, without worrying about how others might react. Be yourself and don’t try to fit into anyone else’s image.”(Sweta向有类似情况的人发出的信息很简单：“拥有自己的空间，自信地说出自己的想法，不用担心别人会如何反应。做你自己，不要试图融入别人的形象。”)”可知，她主张坚持自我，走自己的路，C项“不管别人怎么说，走自己的路”符合。故选C项。

The Matthew Effect is a term that describes the concept in society of accumulated advantage. It argues that people who start from a place of advantage, like intelligence, fame, wealth, or skill, will have the opportunity to collect more of that advantage compared to others. The Matthew Effect is often thought of by the phrase, “the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.”
The Matthew Effect may largely be explained by preferential attachment, whereby wealth or credit is distributed among individuals according to how much they already have. This has the net effect of making it increasingly difficult for low ranked individuals to increase their totals because they have fewer resources to risk over time, and increasingly easy for high ranked individuals to preserve a large total because they have a large amount to risk.
The Matthew Effect is often seen in sports and the development of athletes. It has been proven that how many children who start playing in elite (精英) are the oldest and most mature in their age group, with physical advantages. They then have professional coaching, more practice time, and ongoing competition against better players. This experience helps them improve significantly more each year compared to their peers. These advantages continue to gather over time. Their eventual skill level greatly surpasses those of their peers.
In education, the term “Matthew effect” has been adopted by education theorists to describe a phenomenon on how new readers acquire the skills to read. Effectively, early success in acquiring reading skills usually leads to later successes in reading as the learner grows, while failing to learn to read before the third or fourth year of schooling may be indicative of lifelong problems in learning new skills.
While the Matthew Effect can significantly influence career development and your performance in other fields, it is not an unbreakable barrier. By actively breaking down these barriers with a clear goal and determined mindset, we can cultivate a more inclusive and fair workplace environment. Expanding networks, strengthening connections, and advocating for fair practices are crucial steps in breaking the cycle of the Matthew Effect and fostering equal opportunities for all.
28. Which of the following is a typical example of the Matthew Effect
A. A famous actor wins a national award.
B. A brilliant pupil fails in middle school.
C. A beggar becomes wealthy and popular.
D. A celebrity becomes poor and homeless.
29 What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The underlying logic of the effect.
B. The methods of distributing wealth.
C. The results of risking fewer resources.
D. The causes of being low ranked people.
30. Who can be superior to their peers in the development of athletes
A. A freshman with a good coach.
B. An athlete fond of competitions.
C. A mature male proud of his goal.
D. A senior with physical advantage.
31. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning the Matthew Effect
A. Its possible limitations.
B. Its practical application.
C. Expectations for expanding it.
D. Suggestions on overcoming it.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“马太效应”的概念及其在不同领域的影响。马太效应描述了累积优势现象，即拥有初始优势的人更容易积累更多资源，而劣势者则相反。文章通过运动、教育等领域的例子说明这一效应，并探讨了如何克服其负面影响。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The Matthew Effect is a term that describes the concept in society of accumulated advantage. It argues that people who start from a place of advantage, like intelligence, fame, wealth, or skill, will have the opportunity to collect more of that advantage compared to others(马太效应描述社会中累积优势的概念，即拥有智力、名望、财富或技能等优势的人，会比他人获得更多优势)”可知，马太效应的典型例子是“已有优势者进一步获得更多优势”。选项A“著名演员获得国家奖项”符合这一逻辑（名气带来更多荣誉），是马太效应的体现。故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Matthew Effect may largely be explained by preferential attachment, whereby wealth or credit is distributed among individuals according to how much they already have. This has the net effect of making it increasingly difficult for low ranked individuals to increase their totals because they have fewer resources to risk over time, and increasingly easy for high ranked individuals to preserve a large total because they have a large amount to risk(马太效应在很大程度上可以用优先连接来解释，即财富或信誉是根据个人已有的多少来分配的。这产生的净效应是，随着时间的推移，排名较低的个人越来越难以增加他们的总量，因为他们可冒险的资源较少；而排名较高的个人则越来越容易保持较大的总量，因为他们有大量的资源可以冒险)”，可知，本段解释资源如何基于已有优势分配，导致“富者愈富”。可推理出本段重点在于分析效应的内在逻辑机制，而非结果或原因。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It has been proven that how many children who start playing in elite (精英) are the oldest and most mature in their age group, with physical advantages. They then have professional coaching, more practice time, and ongoing competition against better players. This experience helps them improve significantly more each year compared to their peers. These advantages continue to gather over time.(已有研究证明，那些从精英层面开始运动的孩子，在他们的年龄组中往往是年龄最大、心智最成熟且具有身体优势的。他们随后会接受专业教练的指导，拥有更多的训练时间，并持续与更优秀的选手进行比赛。这些经历使得他们每年的进步相比同龄人要显著得多。随着时间的推移，这些优势会不断累积)”可知，那些从精英层面开始运动的孩子，在他们的年龄组中往往是年龄最大、心智最成熟且具有身体优势的。他们随后会接受专业教练的指导，拥有更多的训练时间，并持续与更优秀的选手进行比赛。这些经历使得他们每年的进步相比同龄人要显著得多，可推理出年龄较大且具备身体优势的运动员更易超越同龄人。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While the Matthew Effect can significantly influence career development and your performance in other fields, it is not an unbreakable barrier. By actively breaking down these barriers with a clear goal and determined mindset, we can cultivate a more inclusive and fair workplace environment. Expanding networks, strengthening connections, and advocating for fair practices are crucial steps in breaking the cycle of the Matthew Effect and fostering equal opportunities for all(虽然马太效应会显著影响职业发展以及其他领域的表现，但它并非不可逾越的障碍。通过明确的目标和坚定的决心积极打破这些壁垒，我们可以营造一个更加包容和公平的职场环境。拓展人脉、加强联系以及倡导公平实践是打破马太效应循环、为所有人创造平等机会的关键步骤)”可知，末段指出“马太效应虽影响深远，但并非不可打破”，并提出“主动打破障碍、建立包容环境、扩展人际网络”等建议。选项D“克服它的建议”正确概括段落内容，故选D。
D
Few things can make us act unreasonably like feeling hungry. We’ve all been there. Even small inconveniences can cause a meltdown when we’re desperate for a snack. To quote that great Snickers’ catchphrase: you’re not you when you are hungry. And neither are your gut bacteria (肠道细菌). At least, that’s the conclusion of a new study.
According to researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC), when our bacteria cells get hungry, they start to release harmful toxins (毒素) into our bodies, making us feel unwell. Dr Adam Rosenthal, assistant professor of UNC’s School of Medicine, has been looking at the functions of different cells within the gut microbiome to see why some lead to a feeling of isolation and others make us feel ill.
He and his team selected one particular gut bacteria type called Clostridium perfringens, which is one of the most common causes of food poisoning. They found that when starved of nutrients, these bacteria cells produced toxins that make people feel sick. When well-fed, they didn’t produce toxins.
“If we provide more of these nutrients, maybe we can get the toxin-producing cells to behave a little bit better,” suggested Dr Rosenthal. To test the theory, the scientists exposed those badly behaving cells to a substance called acetate (醋酸盐) and found that both toxin levels and the number of toxin-producing cells reduced.
Based on this new research, there’s one key lesson for us ordinary individuals. Not eating enough and leaving wide gaps between meals aren’t great for our gut health. We also know that what we feed our gut really matters. Increasingly, experts suggest we should aim to eat a blend of a minimum of food from 30 plants a week to give our bacteria vitamins, minerals and other nutrients they need to thrive. So it makes sense that a dearth of nutritious foods might have a damaging impact on how well our microbiome functions.
Eating regularly and focusing on having a diverse range of plants and fermented (发酵的) foods, which have been proven to help improve gut diversity more than fibre.
32. What will happen when people feel hungry
A. They behave logically. B. They get more tolerant.
C. They break down easily. D. They desire only to sleep.
33. What did Dr Adam’s research focus on
A. The functions of various body cells.
B. The substances to reduce toxin levels.
C. The common causes of food poisoning.
D. The type of nutrients gut bacteria need.
34. What plays a major role in maintaining the gut health
A. The duration of your meals.
B. The variety of nutritious food.
C. Eating enough meat every week.
D. Leaving wide gaps between meals.
35 Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Overeating is harmful to your health.
B. Your gut bacteria can get “hungry” too.
C. There are some ways to improve gut health.
D. Gut bacteria can do wonders for your health.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了饥饿可能会使人做出不合理行为，我们肠道内的菌群也如此，他们缺乏营养物质，就会产生毒素。研究表明，肠道细菌缺乏营养时会释放毒素让人不适。保持规律饮食、摄入多样化植物和发酵食品有助于肠道健康。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Few things can make us act unreasonably like feeling hungry. We’ve all been there. Even small inconveniences can cause a meltdown when we’re desperate for a snack.(很少有事情能像饥饿一样让我们做出不合理的行为。我们都经历过。当我们急需零食时，即使是很小的不便也可能引发情绪崩溃)”可知，当我们饥饿时，很容易崩溃失控，做出不理智行为。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr Adam Rosenthal, assistant professor of UNC’s School of Medicine, has been looking at the functions of different cells within the gut microbiome to see why some lead to a feeling of isolation and others make us feel ill.(北卡罗来纳大学医学院的助理教授亚当·罗森塔尔博士一直在研究肠道微生物群中不同细胞的功能，以了解为什么有些细菌会让人感到孤立，而有些则会让人生病)”及第四段“‘If we provide more of these nutrients, maybe we can get the toxin-producing cells to behave a little bit better,’ suggested Dr Rosenthal. To test the theory, the scientists exposed those badly behaving cells to a substance called acetate (醋酸盐) and found that both toxin levels and the number of toxin-producing cells reduced.(如果我们提供更多的这些营养物质，也许我们可以让产生毒素的细胞表现得更好一点，”罗森塔尔博士建议道。为了验证这一理论，科学家们将这些行为不良的细胞暴露在一种叫做醋酸盐的物质中，发现毒素水平和产生毒素的细胞数量都减少了)”可知，Dr Adam的研究主要目的是找到哪些物质可以降低肠道内毒素水平。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“They found that when starved of nutrients, these bacteria cells produced toxins that make people feel sick. When well-fed, they didn’t produce toxins.(他们发现，当这些细菌细胞缺乏营养时，会产生让人感到恶心的毒素，而当它们得到充分的营养时，则不会产生毒素)”和第六段“Eating regularly and focusing on having a diverse range of plants and fermented (发酵的) foods, which have been proven to help improve gut diversity more than fibre.(定期进食，并专注于摄入多样化的植物和发酵食品，这些已被证明比纤维更能帮助改善肠道多样性)”等内容可知，为了维护肠道健康，摄入的营养物质及其多样化起着重要作用。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Few things can make us act unreasonably like feeling hungry. We’ve all been there. Even small inconveniences can cause a meltdown when we’re desperate for a snack. To quote that great Snickers’ catchphrase: you’re not you when you are hungry. And neither are your gut bacteria (肠道细菌). At least, that’s the conclusion of a new study.(很少有事情能像饥饿一样让我们做出不合理的行为。我们都经历过。当我们急需零食时，即使是很小的不便也可能引发情绪崩溃。用士力架的经典广告语来说：‘饿的时候，就不是你自己’你的肠道细菌也是如此。至少，这是最新研究的结论)”及最后一段“Eating regularly and focusing on having a diverse range of plants and fermented (发酵的) foods, which have been proven to help improve gut diversity more than fibre.(定期进食，并专注于摄入多样化的植物和发酵食品，这些已被证明比纤维更能帮助改善肠道多样性)”可知，本文介绍一项研究发现：我们的肠道菌群也会“饿”，意思是说肠道菌群如果缺乏所需的营养物质，就会产生毒素，并建议我们摄入含有多种营养的物质喂给肠道菌群。B项“你的肠道细菌也会“饥饿”。”适合用作标题，故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了提高工作场所生产力的几条建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Increased productivity allows employees to feel good about the work they do.(生产力的提高能让员工对自己所做的工作产生良好的感受)”可知，生产力的提高能让员工对自己所做的工作产生良好的感受。下文“Here are our tips for boosting your workplace productivity.(以下是我们为您提供的提高工作场所生产力的建议)”表明要介绍提高工作场所生产力的建议。A项“It also affects the business performance positively.(它也对企业绩效产生积极影响)”通过“also”承接前文，补充说明提高生产力对企业的积极作用，同时引出下文——提高工作场所生产力的建议，承上启下，符合语境。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Encouraging your employees to take more workplace breaks can make them stay focused and work more efficiently. Allow your employees to take breaks away from their desks, for example, grabbing a coffee in the staff room, or chatting with colleagues. (鼓励员工多在工作场所休息可以让他们保持专注，工作效率更高。允许员工离开办公桌休息，例如在员工休息室喝杯咖啡，或与同事聊天)”可知，此处鼓励员工多在工作场所休息，并列举了具体的休息情景。D选项“Opportunities like this help get refreshed and avoid burnout.(这样的机会有助于恢复精力，避免倦怠)”中“like this”指代前文的休息场景，“refreshed”和“avoid burnout”呼应上文“stay focused and work more efficiently”的目标，说明了这些休息方式的实际效果，承接上文，符合语境。故选D。
【38题详解】
上文提到“Material rewards such as bonuses or commissions can encourage workplace productivity.(奖金或佣金等物质奖励可提高生产力)”，空格处需补充其他类型的有效激励方式，与前文形成并列。F项“Flexible work hours, increased job security can be just as effective.(弹性工作时间、更高的职业安全感同样有效)”通过“just as effective”与前文“encourage”呼应，列举了非物质奖励形式，也拓展了上文“A workplace stimulation is a reward(工作激励是一种奖励)”中“stimulation”的范畴；下文“All of these show that your employees’ hard work is valued and appreciated, and boost workplace productivity.(所有这些都表明员工的辛勤工作得到了重视和认可，并能提升工作场所的生产力)”中“all of these”指代包括物质与非物质奖励在内的多种方式，F项与下文衔接自然。故选 F。
【39题详解】
上文“Managers should be accessible to their employees and willing to listen to feedback from workers. (管理者应让员工能够轻松接触到自己，并愿意倾听员工的反馈)”强调管理者要倾听员工的反馈，下文“When employees can see their feedback put into practice(当员工看到反馈被落实时)”指出员工看到反馈被落实。B 项“In turn, employees readily offer constructive suggestions.(接下来，员工会欣然提供建设性建议)”中“in turn”表明逻辑递进，“constructive suggestions”是“feedback(反馈)”的具体体现，B 项与上文构成因果关系。且与下文形成“提出建议 — 落实反馈”的照应，符合语境。故选 B。
【40题详解】
下文“A friendly, comfortable and harmonious company atmosphere ensures employee well-being is considered and strives for employees to be happy in their panies with winning organizational cultures have 72% higher employee engagement ratings than weaker company cultures. (友好、舒适且和谐的公司氛围能确保员工的福祉得到重视，并致力于让员工在工作中感到快乐。拥有优秀组织文化的公司，其员工敬业度评分比组织文化较弱的公司高出 72%)”强调积极的企业文化对员工幸福感和敬业程度的影响。C项“A positive workplace culture can increase job satisfaction.(积极的职场文化能提高工作满意度)”点明段落核心，精准概括下文。故选 C。

【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：会上，对在这方面做出突出贡献的个人和团体进行了表彰，其中包括贵州省省级非物质文化遗产赤水竹编工艺的代表传承人、女工匠杨昌芹。句子主语“individuals and groups”（个人和团体）与谓语动词“honour”（表彰）之间是被动关系，即被表彰。结合前文“Recently, China held a national meeting...”可知时态为一般过去时，一般过去时的被动语态结构是was/were +过去分词，主语是复数，故填were honoured。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：会上，对在这方面做出突出贡献的个人和团体进行了表彰，其中包括贵州省省级非物质文化遗产赤水竹编工艺的代表传承人、女工匠杨昌芹。此句是一个“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是“individuals and groups”（指人），关系词替代先行词在从句中作介词among的宾语，用关系代词whom。故填whom。

【59题详解】
考查形容词。 句意：这项工艺大约有20道工序，涉及到复杂的技术，比如编织竹线来创造精致的设计，这些设计可以变成手袋、杯子和花瓶等功能性物品。items是名词，需要用形容词修饰作定语，function的形容词形式是“functional”（功能性的）。故填functional。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：杨说：“竹编是我一生的爱好，我希望它能世代相传。”passed on是动词短语，需要用副词修饰作状语，consistent的副词形式是“consistently”（持续地；一贯地） 。故填consistently。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：杨说：“竹编是我一生的爱好，我希望它能世代相传。”for generations to come是固定表达，意为“为了子孙后代”，to come作后置定语修饰generations，表示“即将到来的”，故填to come。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意：2024年是中国加入联合国教科文组织《保护非物质文化遗产公约》20周年，中国在保护和促进非物质文化遗产发展方面取得了举世瞩目的成就。that the country has made remarkable achievements...是真正的主语，为避免句子头重脚轻，这里需要用形式主语it，构成“It is + 形容词 + that+从句”的结构，故填it。
【63题详解】
考查时态。句意：截至目前，中国共有10万余项非物质遗产，其中列入国家名录的有1557项。“To date”（到目前为止）是现在完成时的标志词 ，现在完成时的结构是“have/has + 过去分词” ，主语China是第三人称单数 ，故填has documented。

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。
I’ve been drawing cartoons since I was eight years old, bringing to life the characters that filled my imagination. Over the years, my drawings became more expressive, but it wasn’t until I attended a lecture by Dr. Patch Adams that my art took on a new direction. He spoke about using humor to heal (治愈), reaching people in ways that medicine alone sometimes couldn’t. “A simple drawing could do more than just fill space on paper; it could bring light to even the darkest moments,” he said. His words sparked an idea in me: I decided to use my art to cheer patients in the hospital.
By chance, I discovered that our local hospital had an arts-in-medicine program. Without a clear plan, I nervously called the head nurse and introduced myself as a “clinical cartoonist”. There was a brief silence before she asked, “What exactly is that ” I laughed awkwardly, admitting that it was something I had just made up. To my surprise, she invited me to come in and give it a try.
Walking into the hospital for the first time with my sketchpad (素描簿), I felt both excitement and fear. I was used to spending hours alone, creating art. But now, I was in a children’s ward (病房), surrounded by patients and families facing real struggles. Could my humor fit into this space Could my drawings bring any comfort to those in pain
That day, I met my first patient, Sarah, a 5-year-old girl who lay quietly in her bed, with no light in her eyes. Her mother sat quietly beside her to offer her comfort. I tried to introduce myself in a playful way, but Sarah didn’t seem to show any interest. Her look was fixed on the ceiling, distant and disconnected. The room was heavy with quiet tension. I knew I had to do something to break the ice. I pulled out my sketchpad and announced, “I’m going to draw something for you!” Sarah’s mother offered a faint smile, but Sarah didn’t react.

【答案】范文
I knew I couldn’t give up and began to create my cartoon character. After a while, several funny drawings appeared on the paper, which demonstrated a playful panda with a heart-shaped nose and a hat that seemed to dance on its head. I sketched with a gentle hand, each line a whisper of hope, trying to capture Sarah’s attention. The panda’s eyes twinkled with a friendly mischief, and its arms were open wide, as if inviting her into a world of joy and imagination. The atmosphere in the room seemed to warm up, with me waiting for Sarah’s reaction.
Looking at my drawings, Sarah finally broke into a long-lost smile. Her eyes finally met mine, bright with a child’s wonder. The room, once heavy with tension, now echoed with the soft laughter of a child finding a magical world in a simple, yet powerful cartoon. Tears of gratitude welled up in her mother’s eyes as she watched her daughter’s face lit up with happiness. The panda had not only filled the space on the paper but had also cured the pain in Sarah’s heart, bringing the light back to her eyes.

Sweta Mantrii, now 36, was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂) in India, which caused her to walk using a walking stick. Despite the physical challenges, she was determined to lead an active life.
Sweta’s foray (尝试) into comedy initially came from her admiration for Indian comedians like Aditi Mittal, Azeem Banatwalla, and Daniel Fernandes. Encouraged by their ability to connect with the audience through humor, she decided to engage in comedy herself, exploring the work of global comedians and shaping her own comedic style.
When Sweta first stepped into comedy in 2016 in her hometown Pune, she noticed people often pulled back when they saw her on stage. “It was difficult because people weren’t used to the idea of a disabled woman doing comedy; it was a real downer,” she recalls.
To get people to accept her as a comic, Sweta began her sets by reading the room and accommodating her jokes to the audience’s moods. It took some time to understand which jokes landed and which didn’t. She spent the first few minutes easing the audience into her performance before delivering her strongest jokes.
At one of her early comedy shows, Sweta faced a tough setup, making it hard for her to manage her stick. She recalls that while previous comics had successfully warmed up the audience, the atmosphere of the room changed when they saw special arrangements made for her. Later, to deal with such problems, Sweta always eases her anxiety by making light of her struggle to get on stage. For example, if the steps are particularly steep and it takes time to climb, she jokes, “Oh, thanks for clapping for two hundred years, guys!”
Sweta’s message to people with similar conditions thinking about starting their own careers is simple: “Own your space and speak your mind confidently, without worrying about how others might react. Be yourself and don’t try to fit into anyone else’s image.”
24. What brought Sweta Mantrii into comedy
A. Her inborn sense of humor.
B. Her parents’ encouragement.
C. Her appreciation of Indian comedians.
D. Her desire to win the fight against spina bifida.
25. How did the audience probably feel about Sweta’s initial performance
A. Relaxed and amused. B. Curious and interested.
C. Concerned and anxious. D. Doubtful and uncomfortable.
26. How did Sweta handle awkward situations on stage
A. She started to seek for help in time.
B. She ignored the audience’s reactions.
C. She adapted her jokes to the audience.
D. She apologized and left the stage quickly.
27. What can we learn from Sweta’s story
A. He laughs best who laughs last.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Walk your way despite what others say.
D. Always believe in the goodness of people.
C
The Matthew Effect is a term that describes the concept in society of accumulated advantage. It argues that people who start from a place of advantage, like intelligence, fame, wealth, or skill, will have the opportunity to collect more of that advantage compared to others. The Matthew Effect is often thought of by the phrase, “the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.”
The Matthew Effect may largely be explained by preferential attachment, whereby wealth or credit is distributed among individuals according to how much they already have. This has the net effect of making it increasingly difficult for low ranked individuals to increase their totals because they have fewer resources to risk over time, and increasingly easy for high ranked individuals to preserve a large total because they have a large amount to risk.
The Matthew Effect is often seen in sports and the development of athletes. It has been proven that how many children who start playing in elite (精英) are the oldest and most mature in their age group, with physical advantages. They then have professional coaching, more practice time, and ongoing competition against better players. This experience helps them improve significantly more each year compared to their peers. These advantages continue to gather over time. Their eventual skill level greatly surpasses those of their peers.
In education, the term “Matthew effect” has been adopted by education theorists to describe a phenomenon on how new readers acquire the skills to read. Effectively, early success in acquiring reading skills usually leads to later successes in reading as the learner grows, while failing to learn to read before the third or fourth year of schooling may be indicative of lifelong problems in learning new skills.
While the Matthew Effect can significantly influence career development and your performance in other fields, it is not an unbreakable barrier. By actively breaking down these barriers with a clear goal and determined mindset, we can cultivate a more inclusive and fair workplace environment. Expanding networks, strengthening connections, and advocating for fair practices are crucial steps in breaking the cycle of the Matthew Effect and fostering equal opportunities for all.
28. Which of the following is a typical example of the Matthew Effect
A A famous actor wins a national award.
B. A brilliant pupil fails in middle school.
C. A beggar becomes wealthy and popular.
D. A celebrity becomes poor and homeless.
29. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The underlying logic of the effect.
B. The methods of distributing wealth.
C. The results of risking fewer resources.
D. The causes of being low ranked people.
30. Who can be superior to their peers in the development of athletes
A. A freshman with a good coach.
B. An athlete fond of competitions.
C. A mature male proud of his goal.
D. A senior with physical advantage.
31. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning the Matthew Effect
A. Its possible limitations.
B. Its practical application.
C. Expectations for expanding it.
D. Suggestions on overcoming it.
D
Few things can make us act unreasonably like feeling hungry. We’ve all been there. Even small inconveniences can cause a meltdown when we’re desperate for a snack. To quote that great Snickers’ catchphrase: you’re not you when you are hungry. And neither are your gut bacteria (肠道细菌). At least, that’s the conclusion of a new study.
According to researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC), when our bacteria cells get hungry, they start to release harmful toxins (毒素) into our bodies, making us feel unwell. Dr Adam Rosenthal, assistant professor of UNC’s School of Medicine, has been looking at the functions of different cells within the gut microbiome to see why some lead to a feeling of isolation and others make us feel ill.
He and his team selected one particular gut bacteria type called Clostridium perfringens, which is one of the most common causes of food poisoning. They found that when starved of nutrients, these bacteria cells produced toxins that make people feel sick. When well-fed, they didn’t produce toxins.
“If we provide more of these nutrients, maybe we can get the toxin-producing cells to behave a little bit better,” suggested Dr Rosenthal. To test the theory, the scientists exposed those badly behaving cells to a substance called acetate (醋酸盐) and found that both toxin levels and the number of toxin-producing cells reduced.
Based on this new research, there’s one key lesson for us ordinary individuals. Not eating enough and leaving wide gaps between meals aren’t great for our gut health. We also know that what we feed our gut really matters. Increasingly, experts suggest we should aim to eat a blend of a minimum of food from 30 plants a week to give our bacteria vitamins, minerals and other nutrients they need to thrive. So it makes sense that a dearth of nutritious foods might have a damaging impact on how well our microbiome functions.
Eating regularly and focusing on having a diverse range of plants and fermented (发酵的) foods, which have been proven to help improve gut diversity more than fibre.
32. What will happen when people feel hungry
A. They behave logically. B. They get more tolerant.
C. They break down easily. D. They desire only to sleep.
33. What did Dr Adam’s research focus on
A. The functions of various body cells.
B. The substances to reduce toxin levels.
C. The common causes of food poisoning.
D. The type of nutrients gut bacteria need.
34. What plays a major role in maintaining the gut health
A. The duration of your meals.
B. The variety of nutritious food.
C. Eating enough meat every week.
D. Leaving wide gaps between meals.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Overeating is harmful to your health.
B. Your gut bacteria can get “hungry” too.
C. There are some ways to improve gut health.
D. Gut bacteria can do wonders for your health.

I’ve been drawing cartoons since I was eight years old, bringing to life the characters that filled my imagination. Over the years, my drawings became more expressive, but it wasn’t until I attended a lecture by Dr. Patch Adams that my art took on a new direction. He spoke about using humor to heal (治愈), reaching people in ways that medicine alone sometimes couldn’t. “A simple drawing could do more than just fill space on paper; it could bring light to even the darkest moments,” he said. His words sparked an idea in me: I decided to use my art to cheer patients in the hospital.
By chance, I discovered that our local hospital had an arts-in-medicine program. Without a clear plan, I nervously called the head nurse and introduced myself as a “clinical cartoonist”. There was a brief silence before she asked, “What exactly is that ” I laughed awkwardly, admitting that it was something I had just made up. To my surprise, she invited me to come in and give it a try.
Walking into the hospital for the first time with my sketchpad (素描簿), I felt both excitement and fear. I was used to spending hours alone, creating art. But now, I was in a children’s ward (病房), surrounded by patients and families facing real struggles. Could my humor fit into this space Could my drawings bring any comfort to those in pain
That day, I met my first patient, Sarah, a 5-year-old girl who lay quietly in her bed, with no light in her eyes. Her mother sat quietly beside her to offer her comfort. I tried to introduce myself in a playful way, but Sarah didn’t seem to show any interest. Her look was fixed on the ceiling, distant and disconnected. The room was heavy with quiet tension. I knew I had to do something to break the ice. I pulled out my sketchpad and announced, “I’m going to draw something for you!” Sarah’s mother offered a faint smile, but Sarah didn’t react.
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 knew I couldn’t give up and began to create my cartoon character.

Looking at my drawings, Sarah finally broke into a long-lost smile.
