We don’t see many 17-year-olds who can list as many accomplishments as Eduardo Caiado. Edu, as he likes to be called, lives in Andolils, Brazil. He’s always been driven to help others. In fact, when he was just 15, he was named one of the 50 Young Inspirers of the United Nations for his project on reusing rainwater to provide drinking water in a village. He also bought gifts for 52 people living in a local nursing home, using his own money.(第一段)
4. How does the author introduce the topic
A.By providing one’s family background.
B. By making some survey.
C. By listing one’s amazing achievements.
D. By putting forward a concept.

These are all totally natural for Edu, who said he’s been actively trying to help others for most of his life. But right now he centers on saving stray animals. Since he was 9, he’s dreamed of the day he could open a shelter for the many forgotten pets he’s seen. Less than ten years later, he made that dream a reality by starting the EduPacoca Institute! “The place where I live is cold, and many stray dogs were dying of extreme cold,” he said.
(第二段)
5. What inspired Edu to start the EduPacoca Institute
A. His inner quality. B. The desire for fame.
C. His skill with animals. D. The experience in childhood.

The EduPacoca Institute depends on donations to help these animals in need. First, Edu rented a house; now, he’s using the money to cover food and their expenses. “I want these animals to know that even if they don’t have owners, they will be with me until they grow old and die,” he said.(第三段)
After years of feeding animals on the streets, Edu understands that while they’re not human, animals have feelings of their own. Each has their own habits, personality, and preferences, and. Edu loves getting to know them. He’s already given about 30 dogs and cats a home, and the number keeps growing every day! His main regret is that he doesn’t have enough room or money to take in every stray animal.(第四段)
6. What is the biggest trouble to Edu
A. Lack of enough support. B. Poor physical conditions.
C. Much pressure from his family. D. Too much time to put into.

“The Institute is a dream, but at the same time a great challenge,” he said. “But it has been so good to sleep every day knowing that everyone is warm and safe.”(第五段)
7. What can we learn from the story
A. He who laughs last laughs best.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Nothing is impossible to a kind heart.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

阅读理解C
Every year, tens of thousands of people around the world apply for research jobs armed with postgraduate qualifications and specialized knowledge, only for their carefully crafted applications to seemingly disappear into a digital blank. At the same time, recruiters(招聘者)report that they are unable to find appropriate candidates for open positions.(第一段)
One key cause of this mismatch is the perception that someone with science qualifications is fully qualified for research work. The reality is that, often, a PhD or a first postdoctoral post is corresponding to an entry-level qualification, with the holder needing further advice, guidance, mentoring and experience before they can work independently. (第二段)
8. Why do postgraduates fail to find satisfying jobs
A. Inadequate academic preparation.
B. Limited job information sources.
C. Absence of proper job-seeking skills.
D. Misjudgment of qualification suitability.

相一致;符合;类似于;相当于
Shifting generational priorities also play a part. For example, most current early-career scientists are millennials(千禧一代), born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s. They are often digitally skilled and bring with them strong cooperation nature and a desire to see their work have societal impact. They also tend to value work-life balance and career flexibility, which might not always square with the priorities of the scientists interviewing them for jobs.(第三段)
Meanwhile, employers report that candidates often lack creative thinking, problem-solving and communication skills and qualities such as persistence, passion and determination.(第四段)
9. Which priority of millennials affect their job seeking
A. High cooperation ability. B. Emphasis on digital tech use.
C. Pursuit of work-life balance.D. Freedom for mind and body.

使谐调，符合；
Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach. Universities and other research training institutions can do more to expand the focus of PhD training beyond the academic track. This means providing advice and guidance about what career paths and job opportunities might be available for researchers in companies, the public sector and non-governmental organizations. Employers need to consider the benefits of structured training for early-career researchers, as a way to boost critical thinking and analytical skills. This could be done by reproducing the training schemes commonly used by large technology, consulting, finance and legal firms. (第五段)
10. What training should be given to PhD researchers
A. Career-related advice. B. General skill building.
C. Financial management tips. D. Academic-focused guidance.


11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Role of institutions in research. B. Importance of skill development.
C. Discontent of recruiters with applicants.
D. Significance of understanding each other.
The path forward requires jobseekers and recruiters to understand each other better. Candidates would benefit from learning why recruiters are dissatisfied with the competence of applicants. Institutions, for their part, must see themselves as architects of scientific careers. This means acknowledging that professional preparation isn’t a distraction from research excellence — it is an essential component of it. (第六段)
阅读理解D
There is a common scene in crime TV shows: A suspect is sweating nervously as the detectives use a polygraph(测谎仪) test to decide whether the suspect is innocent or guilty. The polygraph, more popularly called “lie detector,” is designed to catch people in a lie. (第一段)
The polygraph measures the sweat, pulse rate, and other physiological(生理的)factors of the tested person. In this way, polygraph tests are accurate at measuring a person’s nervous excitement. When a person is undergoing a polygraph test, the administrator begins by asking two types of control questions: questions which the person is expected to answer truthfully and questions which the person is expected to answer with a lie (often the administrator will ask the subject to write down a number and then ask “Did you write l ” “Did you write 2 ” to solicit the desired responses).(第二段)
13. What does the underlined word “solicit” mean in paragraph 2
A. Seek. B. Analyze. C. Combine. D. Control.

This way, when the administrator asks more relevant questions later on, the subject’s physiological reactions are compared with the reactions to the control questions to determine whether the subject is telling lies. (第三段)
12. What is the function of the control questions in polygraph tests
A. To supply guidance for operation. B. To provide a basis for comparison.
C. To define the primary goal of evaluation.
D. To establish a process for measurement.

However, it’s possible for people to react in an excited way when answering questions truthfully. If the control questions don’t accurately show the person’s reaction, it is harder for the administrator to decide whether the person is lying when answering relevant questions. So, while the polygraph might be effective at measuring physiological factors associated with being nervous, that doesn’t necessarily mean it can always distinguish a person lying from a person telling the truth.(第四段)
14. What is the main reason for a polygraph’s ineffectiveness
A. Testing procedures fail to meet strict standards.
B. Administrators’ competence falls short of adequacy.
C. Nervous system responses vary from person to person.
D. Control question designs demonstrate structural limitations.

Knowing it’s possible to achieve inaccurate results of a polygraph test makes the polygraph fairly unreliable on its own. In addition, the polygraph measures physiological factors associated not just with lying but with being nervous—a common feeling one might experience when being interrogated (审问). That is why in recent years police officers have turned away from fully relying on polygraph tests as definitive proof of one’s innocence or guilt. Overall, it’s important to consider the chance for error when examining the results of polygraph tests, but it’s possible to catch a person lying.(第五段)
15. What can we learn about the polygraph test in the last paragraph
A. It doesn’t contain a grain of truth.
B. Its error rate stays at a high level.
C. It has fallen into disuse nowadays.
D. Its results need further assessment.

G. This is why pushing introverted kids to do group projects ends up backfiring.
The traditional model of leaders is seen as outgoing, talkative and brave—all typical features of extroverts. __17__Instead, it is believed that true leaders are driven by a desire to advance ideas and new ways of seeing the world or to improve conditions for a group of people. Moreover, “calm leaders” can resolve problems more effectively and better identify which risks are worth taking, thanks to their ability to deal with information and make decisions more carefully.

In the introduction to her book, Cain shares a question she was asked all the time as a child: “Why are you so quiet ” It was usually asked out of concern, she noted. People took her silence as a sign of uneasiness or anger. In fact, she was just listening and observing her surroundings. __18__Cain says introverts make for the best listeners. As keen listeners, introverts can pick up on information that some extroverts might overlook. Unlike extroverts, introverts are not known for jumping to conclusions, and as a result, they tend to receive more attention and appreciation from audiences when they do speak.

46. 假定你是李华，你的美国笔友Robert对孔子思想很感兴趣，对孔子主张的“仁(benevolence)”的内涵不太理解，向你发邮件寻求帮助。请你给他回一封邮件，内容包括：（1）解释“仁”的内涵并举例；（2）给予鼓励。注意：（1）写作词数应为80个左右；（2）请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I’m extremely delighted that you are interested in Confucianism. And benevolence is central to Confucius’ ideas. It is a virtue that means looking at others with love, compassion, and kindness, so as to stay in harmony with all people. It calls for treating others as you’d like to be treated.
For example, during natural disasters, volunteers rush to help victims, providing food and shelter selflessly. This is benevolence in action, as they care about others’ hardships.
Understanding benevolence might seem tough, but your curiosity is a great start. Confucius’ wisdom is profound, and every step you take will bring new insights. Keep exploring, and you’ll surely find more wonders in Chinese culture.
I’m here if you have more questions.

Joel Boyers is an experienced pilot in an air service company. One day he and his wife Melody Among were heading home from the Nashville airport after she earned her helicopter’s pilot license when he received an emergency call from a stranger in Pennsylvania. The caller told Boyers that her daughter was trapped on a roof near a gas station in Waverly,60 miles from Nashville. She was surrounded by rising floodwaters caused by August’s record-shattering mins and didn’t think she would survive.
Desperate, the caller had Googled “Nashville helicopters,” and Boyers’ company, Helistar Aviation, was the first to appear. She begged, Could Boyers please, please rescue her beloved daughter She added that her daughter Lily was only nine! She wore a red sweater.
Boyers,41, looked west toward Waverly and saw the storm clouds. “Madam,” he said, “no one will fly in this weather, and for good reason.”
But even before he finished the sentence, Boyers knew he would go back up. “I’ve got a daughter myself,” Boyers comforted the desperate mother, “I will try my best.” He put the girl’s address into his phone, then he and Among drove back to the airport. Soon, they were in the air, unprepared for what they were about to see in Waverly.
As soon as Boyers suddenly emerged over the hilltop, it was nothing but angry water below. There were two houses on fire. Cars in trees. Tons of debris(碎片). People were clinging to anything that didn’t move— roofs, trees, poles.
The flooding, also took out cell phone service, meaning Boyers couldn’t use his phone to pinpoint (精准定位) the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway. Maybe he’d get lucky.
Outside the rain beat the windscreen as he flew, making everything unclear. Below, streets had turned into fast-moving water, swallowing cars and trees. For twenty painful minutes, he circled the flooded town, the searchlight cutting through the darkness. Suddenly, on the roof near a half-flooded gas station, a girl in red came into his eyes. It must be Lily.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Boyers began to fly as close as possible to Lily. __________________
Finally Lily was safely delivered to her mother. __________________
Boyers began to fly as close as possible to Lily. Fighting against the roaring wind, he steadied the helicopter above the roof. Down swung the rescue rope ladder, which Lily desperately grabbed with frozen hands. Just as she hooked herself to the ladder, Among lowered herself and reached for Lily, then she seized her hand and helped her up inside the helicopter. Once Lily was out of danger, the couple let out a sigh of relief. Inside, Lily, sitting on the floor shaking, couldn’t believe that she was safe now. She hugged the couple tightly, tears of gratitude rolling down her face.
Finally Lily was safely delivered to her mother. At the sight of her daughter, the mother rushed forward and tightly embraced her. “Thank you, you are heroes!” The mother exclaimed to the couple, tears streaming down her cheeks. Boyers murmured, “What truly matters is that we’re all standing here, safe and sound.” The setting sun broke through the dark clouds, painting golden light on their wet clothes. Though disasters brought destruction, human kindness always shone brightest in darkness, connecting hearts and rebuilding hope.
