In the tenth grade, my peers gave me a nickname that stuck until graduation: “Dictionary.” It all started the day my teacher announced a national spelling bee competition.
Determined to win, I opened my dictionary to learn how to spell every word in English. In a 1 attempt to memorize the most words possible, I began reading day and night.
During the competition, I misspelled one word. The pain over this defeat was so great that — to this day — I still 2 the word: “graffiti.” However, not succeeding in something I invested so much effort in only 3
my determination to study harder.
Later, my school was participating in a French dictation competition hosted by a nonprofit organization that gives kids in poverty 4 to an education.
French isn’t my first language, so I 5 the books even harder. I spent all my free time studying. In the competition, I scored the highest in my school! I felt so proud. That joy was 6 because I knew my victory was also helping children learn to read and write.
In the final, I took the fifth place. Although it wasn’t what I had dreamed of, it was quite 7 !
Besides the award, I acquired the 8 that I’d use for the rest of my life, such as persistence and critical thinking. And I found that whether we are generating 9 for ourselves or for others, we never know what can be the catalyst (化剂) of a brilliant future. Sometimes, that catalyst can be as 10 as a book.

In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole. Once, I often found myself amazed at how my students, who brought these figures to life, grasped the essence of complex literary themes.
But the situation was quite different with their first assignment, which centered on the question: “Why is literature important ”
Most of the essays were barely a page long, and scarcely any had a sentence that could serve as a strong thesis statement. I was taken aback. Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them. This had to change.
As a new semester began, I asked everyone to craft a reflective essay on a literary work that had touched their soul. This time, they found the task far more engaging. For the subsequent two tasks, a drama-analysis project was followed by a poetry-creation workshop. I only stipulated that each piece should convey a deep-seated emotion. The outcomes were astounding. The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.
I entered the class believing that literature is important as a mirror of humanity. However, my students demonstrated something even more profound. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.
Who are the characters mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1
Senior-year students. B．The author’s relatives.
C．Famous literary critics. D．Fictional personas.
Why did the students perform poorly in their first writing task
They lacked writing skills. B．They had a limited understanding of literature. C．They misinterpreted the question’s intent. D．They had no interest in the topic.
What does the underlined word “astounding” in paragraph 4 mean
Confusing. B．Impressive. C．Ordinary. D．Frightening.
What does the author’s experience illustrate
A．Literature can awaken deep-seated human emotions.
B．Teaching literature is an easy task.
C．Students prefer creative writing to theoretical essays.
D．Classic literature is losing its appeal.
C
While saying “no” can be liberating to some, for others it can be uncomfortable. Sometimes, society teaches us the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated (有义务的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted.
Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves
sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something
positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive.
It’s also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy.
We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent.
Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities, or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional.
Overall, there isn’t a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”.
What does society think of saying “no”
Understandable. B．Inconsiderate. C．Necessary. D．Indifferent.
How can we employ the “sandwich method”
By avoiding anything negative. B．By looking on the positive side.
C．By being supportive before and after rejection. D．By setting permanent boundaries in daily life.
What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”
Stick to their own decisions. B．Express themselves flexibly. C．Prioritize others’ needs. D．Ignore its negative effects.
What is the text mainly about
How to satisfy others’ needs. B．How to take care of oneself. C．The journey of self-discovery. D．The power of a gentle refusal.
D
Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you’re studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important” is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥) into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution (演变) of your culture can provide.
History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight (洞察力) into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.
History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It’s almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.
The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don’t have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.
People can get a sense of cultural belonging by studying history and .
thinking about the meaning of it B．accepting the development of culture C．analyzing how they get to the present state D．reflecting on their social and economic life
What can be concluded from Paragraph 4
It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers.
People are willing to accept foreign cultures.
Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore.
D．History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness.
What could be the best title for the passage
How to Build Cultural Identity B．Why Studying History Matters C．Know the Past, Know the Present D．History: a Way to Broaden Horizons
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，共 10 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the last decade, STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-has become increasingly defined as the symbol of development, success, and progress. Incoming college students are increasingly choosing majors like computer science, biology, and engineering, even if some of them are not particularly interested in those subjects.
However, this has subsequently left liberal arts and the importance of the field behind.
To answer the question, we need to consider what liberal arts are. Different from STEM, liberal arts are essentially the broad study of how the world works, assisting with students’ critical thinking, creative application, and social skills, ranging from topics like psychology and sociology to linguistics and history.
Although today STEM-based education seems to be the most effective path to take for career prospects, liberal arts can produce just as much success. This is mainly due to the fact that a liberal arts education teaches students important soft, social skills, including clear and effective communication, error-free writing, problem-solving, and successful data analysis, among others. 37 Without them, how can a student properly prepare themselves for a career
In addition, students in liberal arts possess the most important characteristic of being more human. What they learn brings them distinctive social insights. 38 It not only translates into more humanized employees in the future workforce but also provides a significant positive effect, too. As much as AI has taken the world by storm, it does not take away from the fact that when someone calls customer service, they want to hear a human voice. They want someone who can considerately help them solve their problems on a more emotional level rather than just being assisted by a robot that follows a program.
As society continues to evolve, and people’s needs and wants continue to change, merely sticking to practical, baseline solutions will not work. That’s exactly where liberal arts come in. 39 And that’s the beauty and importance of liberal arts.
Why are students today seeking towards the field
Do liberal arts still matter in a STEM-driven world
These skills are what a good employee should have.
Anyway, it seems like the “right” thing to do for their future.
This nature generally can’t come from STEM-based education.
That’s why both liberal arts and STEM are important for a progressive society. G．AI will never be able to truly understand humanity as an actual human mind can.第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32 分)
第一节 (共 4 小题;第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分，共 12 分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
At the start of nearly every doctor's visit, chances are that you will be asked to get your weight measured for that day's exam record - and you would be hard-pressed to find a person whose physician has not brought up his or her weight at some point, and doctors' recommendations to drop pounds are still extremely common. But many conversations around weight have become a barrier, not a help, in the campaign to make people healthier.
Higher body masses are associated with increased risk for hypertension, diabetes and coronary disease. Many studies have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illnesses. But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers have identified a smaller group of overweight people considered to be ''metabolically (新陈代谢地) healthy'' - meaning they do not exhibit high blood pressure or other diseases.
Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat people. Some refuse to see these patients at all, as the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported in 2011. Such practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the finding of serious underlying conditions. Not only that but doctors' appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and they routinely use negative words in their medical histories of such people. And research suggests that the stress of being a heavy person may cause metabolic changes that may lead to more poor health outcomes.
To achieve better health outcomes, doctors should focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health instead of the weight-centric health care practice. And people of all sizes are entitled to evidence-based factors that empower them and keep them healthy. Lifestyle changes, such as eating fruits, vegetables and whole grains, along with increased physical activity, can improve blood pressure, levels and sensitivity - often independently of changes in body weight.
What will you be asked to do when visiting a doctor for the first time (不多于 4 个单词)
Why does the stress of being a heavy person may lead to more poor health outcomes (不多于 6 个单词)
What are doctors expected to do to achieve better health outcomes (不多于 10 个单词)
What is the passage mainly about (不多于 4 个单词)

Can a sixth extinction 18 (avoid) Experts say that it is not yet too late, if we take action now. This would mean we have to significantly change the way we live. For example, we need to take steps to save endangered species, including setting up special areas 19 plants and animals can be protected. We need to change how we work and travel by using cleaner, more natural sources of energy, such as wind and solar energy. We also need to improve our farming methods 20 (reduce) water, air and land pollution. In short, if we want to survive, we need to stop destroying the planet that we live on and start to protect it.
【答案】18．be avoided 19．where 20．to reduce
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何避免第六次生物大灭绝及采取的措施。 18．考查被动语态。句意：第六次生物大灭绝能避免吗？主语 a sixth extinction 和 avoid“避免”为被动关系，用 be avoided 表被动，且情态动词 can 后接动词原形。故填 be avoided。 19．考查定语从句。句意：例如，我们需要采取措施拯救濒危物种，包括建立特殊区域来保护动植物。本空引导定语从句，修饰先行词 special areas，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，用关系副词 where引导定语从句。故填 where。 20．考查非谓语动词。句意：我们还需要改进耕作方法，以减少水、空气和土地污染。本句谓语为 need，此处为非谓语动词，本空作目的状语，用动词 reduce“减少”的不定式形式。故填 to reduce。

B
In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle
grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole. Once, I often found myself amazed at how my students, who brought these figures to life, grasped the essence of complex literary themes.
But the situation was quite different with their first assignment, which centered on the question: “Why is literature important ”
Most of the essays were barely a page long, and scarcely any had a sentence that could serve as a strong thesis statement. I was taken aback. Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them. This had to change.
As a new semester began, I asked everyone to craft a reflective essay on a literary work that had touched their soul. This time, they found the task far more engaging. For the subsequent two tasks, a drama-analysis project was followed by a poetry-creation workshop. I only stipulated that each piece should convey a deep-seated emotion. The outcomes were astounding. The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and
poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.
I entered the class believing that literature is important as a mirror of humanity. However, my students demonstrated something even more profound. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.
Who are the characters mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1
Senior-year students. B．The author’s relatives.
C．Famous literary critics. D．Fictional personas.
Why did the students perform poorly in their first writing task
They lacked writing skills. B．They had a limited understanding of literature. C．They misinterpreted the question’s intent.D．They had no interest in the topic.
What does the underlined word “astounding” in paragraph 4 mean
Confusing. B．Impressive. C．Ordinary. D．Frightening.
What does the author’s experience illustrate
A．Literature can awaken deep-seated human emotions.
B．Teaching literature is an easy task.
C．Students prefer creative writing to theoretical essays.
D．Classic literature is losing its appeal.
【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole.(上学期，在我任教的高年级文学课上，我邂逅了诸多角色：一位守护着被遗忘王国的骑士、一位用民间故事治愈伤痛的慈祥祖母，还有一位消失在黑洞中的未来探险家)”可知，这些角色都是文学作品中的人物，即虚构人物。故选 D。
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have
written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them.(这时我恍然大悟，问题其实出在问题本身上。他们本可以洋洋洒洒地写上很多关于社交媒体吸引力的内容，但纯粹的文学对他们而言似乎并无重要意义)”可推知，学生在第一次写作任务中表现不佳是因为他们误解了“文学为何重要”这一问题，觉得该主题无关紧要。故选 C。
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays
and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.(学生们 钻研了大量的文学作品，写出了 8 到 15 页长的散文和诗歌，他们的见解开阔了我的视野，激发了我的情感)”
可知，学生们深入研究了广泛的文学作品，写出了长篇的论文和诗歌，这些作品让作者印象深刻，“astounding”意为“令人赞叹的、印象深刻的”，与“Impressive”意思相近，故选 B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.(当六月最后
的铃声响起时，我带着一整年的回忆离开了，这些回忆让我深刻领悟到了文学最深远的意义——它能够唤
醒沉睡的情感，带我们穿越至未曾见过的世界，并揭示出我们人类经历中共通的脉络)”可推知，作者的经历说明了文学可以唤醒人类深藏的情感。故选 A。
C
While saying “no” can be liberating to some, for others it can be uncomfortable. Sometimes, society teaches us the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated (有义务的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted.
Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive.
It’s also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy.
We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent.
Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities, or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional.
Overall, there isn’t a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”.
What does society think of saying “no”
Understandable. B．Inconsiderate. C．Necessary. D．Indifferent.
How can we employ the “sandwich method”
By avoiding anything negative. B．By looking on the positive side.
C．By being supportive before and after rejection.D．By setting permanent boundaries in daily life.
What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”
Stick to their own decisions. B．Express themselves flexibly. C．Prioritize others’ needs. D．Ignore its negative effects.
What is the text mainly about
How to satisfy others’ needs. B．How to take care of oneself. C．The journey of self-discovery. D．The power of a gentle refusal.
【答案】28．B 29．C 30．A 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学会说“不”的重要性及其方法。文章也强调了设定个人界限的重要性，并指出说“不”时也要灵活表达，注意自己的心理健康。最后，文章鼓励人们要自信地说“不”。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Sometimes, society teaches us the word ‘no’ is impolite. (有时，社会教导我
们说“不”是不礼貌的。)”可知，社会对说“不”的看法是不考虑他人感受的。B 选项“Inconsiderate (不顾别人的)”
符合题意。故选 B。
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Perhaps you may find the ‘sandwich method’ helpful. It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the 'no' and end with something positive. (你也许会觉得“三明治方法”很有帮助。这是一种把人们可能认为是负面的东西夹在两个积极的事物之间的方法。先对那个人说一些积极的话，然 后说“不”，最后再以积极的话收尾。)”可知，“三明治方法”是在说“不”之前和之后都说一些积极的话，即在拒
绝前后给予支持。故选 C。
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, (坚定地做出决定并能够清晰地表达自己的想法，这会带来极大的成就感)”可知，作者建议人们要坚持自己的决定。故选 A。
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Yet, there are clear benefits to the word ‘no’. (然而，“不”这个词确实有其明显的优点。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了学会说“不”的重要性，同时探讨了说“不”的力量以及如何以一种温和的方式拒绝别人，其中包括如何委婉地说“不”、拒绝时要坚持自己的决定以及设定个人界限等。因此，D 选项“The power of a gentle refusal (温柔的拒绝的力量)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选 D。
D
Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you’re studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important” is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥) into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution (演变) of your culture can provide.
History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people
regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more
experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight (洞察力) into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). We’ re scared of the things that we don’t understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.
History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It’s almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.
The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don’t have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.
People can get a sense of cultural belonging by studying history and .
thinking about the meaning of it B．accepting the development of culture C．analyzing how they get to the present state D．reflecting on their social and economic life
What can be concluded from Paragraph 4
It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers.
People are willing to accept foreign cultures.
Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore. D．History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness.
What could be the best title for the passage
How to Build Cultural Identity B．Why Studying History Matters C．Know the Past, Know the Present D．History: a Way to Broaden Horizons
【答案】32．B 33．D 34．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“为什么历史是重要的”这一主题进行阐述，列举了多个理由来支
持这一观点，如历史可以让我们了解自己的根源、丰富我们的经验、使我们更具共情能力、激发我们学习更多等。
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution (演变) of your culture can provide.(许 多人觉得他们需要一种文化归属感，这是研究你的根源和对你的文化演变持开放态度所能提供的。)”可知，文化归属感是可以通过学习历史，和接受文化演变获得的。故选 B。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight (洞察力) into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know
now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.(历史让我们
更具有共情能力的。研究历史可以让我们洞察为什么我们的文化会做某些事情，以及过去是如何将其塑造
成我们现在所知道的样子。它也为跨文化的同理心提供了相当坚实的基础。对他人的恐惧和憎恨通常是由于无知造成的。我们害怕我们不了解的东西。历史有可能打破这些界限，让我们洞悉整个世界，否则我们就会感到陌生。)”可知，通过了解其他文化的历史，我们可以更好地欣赏他们的价值观和传统，这反过来又
有助于我们克服文化障碍并减少冲突。这表明，当我们面对来自不同文化背景的人时，通过了解他们的历史，我们更有能力去理解和尊重他们的观点和习俗。因此，可以得出结论，历史有助于我们提高跨文化意识。
故选 D。
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If you’re studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important” is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.(如果你正在学习历史，问自己 “为什么历史很重要”是很好的第一步。历史是人类文明的重要组成部分。你会在这里找到一些能引起你兴趣的东西，或者让你思考历史的重要性。)”、最后一段“The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don’t have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives. (历史的价值不可低估。我们不必活在过去，但我们可以通过从中吸取教训，过更有意义的生活，做得更好。)”以及全文内容可知，这篇文章讨论了学习历史的重要性，并提供了为什么它是有价值的几个原因。选项 B“Why Studying History Matters (为什么学习历史很重要)”抓住了文本的主要焦点，即解释为什么学习历史是重要的。故选 B。
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，共 10 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the last decade, STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-has become increasingly defined as the symbol of development, success, and progress. Incoming college students are increasingly choosing majors like computer science, biology, and engineering, even if some of them are not particularly interested in those subjects.
However, this has subsequently left liberal arts and the importance of the field behind.
To answer the question, we need to consider what liberal arts are. Different from STEM, liberal arts are essentially the broad study of how the world works, assisting with students’ critical thinking, creative application, and social skills, ranging from topics like psychology and sociology to linguistics and history.
Although today STEM-based education seems to be the most effective path to take for career prospects, liberal arts can produce just as much success. This is mainly due to the fact that a liberal arts education teaches students important soft, social skills, including clear and effective communication, error-free writing, problem-solving, and successful data analysis, among others. 37 Without them, how can a student properly prepare themselves for a career
In addition, students in liberal arts possess the most important characteristic of being more human. What they learn brings them distinctive social insights. 38 It not only translates into more humanized employees in the future workforce but also provides a significant positive effect, too. As much as AI has taken the world by storm, it does not take away from the fact that when someone calls customer service, they want to hear a human voice. They want someone who can considerately help them solve their problems on a more emotional level rather than just being assisted by a robot that follows a program.
As society continues to evolve, and people’s needs and wants continue to change, merely sticking to practical, baseline solutions will not work. That’s exactly where liberal arts come in. 39 And that’s the beauty and importance of liberal arts.
Why are students today seeking towards the field
Do liberal arts still matter in a STEM-driven world
These skills are what a good employee should have. D．Anyway, it seems like the “right” thing to do for their future.
This nature generally can’t come from STEM-based education.
That’s why both liberal arts and STEM are important for a progressive society. G．AI will never be able to truly understand humanity as an actual human mind can.
【答案】35．D 36．B 37．C 38．E 39．F
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕在 STEM (科学、技术、工程和数学) 盛行的当下，文科是否依然重要展开讨论，阐述了文科的定义、文科能带来的成功以及文科在社会发展中的独特作用。

Incoming college students are increasingly choosing majors like computer science, biology, and engineering, even if some of them are not particularly interested in
those subjects. (在过去的十年里，STEM——科学、技术、工程和数学——越来越被定义为发展、成功和进步的象征。即将入学的大学生越来越多地选择计算机科学、生物学和工程学等专业，即使他们中的一些人对这些学科并不特别感兴趣)”说明学生选择 STEM 专业成为一种趋势，D 选项“不管怎样，这似乎对他们未来来说是‘正确’的选择。”承接上文，解释了学生选择 STEM 专业的原因，符合语境。故选 D。
前文“However, this has subsequently left liberal arts and the importance of the field behind. (然而，这随后将文科和该领域的重要性抛在了后面)”提到 STEM 的盛行使文科及其重要性被忽视，后文“To answer the question, we need to consider what liberal arts are. (要回答这个问题，我们需要考虑文科是什么)”说明此处提出了一个问题，B 选项“在以 STEM 为主导的世界里，文科还重要吗？”符合语境，引出后文对文科的探讨。故选 B。
前文“This is mainly due to the fact that a liberal arts education teaches students important soft, social skills, including clear and effective communication, error - free writing, problem - solving, and successful data analysis, among others. (这主要是因为文科教育教会学生重要的软技能和社会技能，包括清晰有效的沟通、无错误的写作、解决问题和成功的数据分析等)”说明文科教育能教会学生重要技能，C 选项“这些技能是一个好员工应该具备的。”承接上文，进一步强调这些技能的重要性，符合语境。故选 C。
前文“In addition, students in liberal arts possess the most important characteristic of being more human. What
they learn brings them distinctive social insights. (此外，文科学生具有最重要的更人性化的特点。他们所学的东西给他们带来了独特的社会洞察力)”说明文科学生有独特的特点，E 选项“这种特质通常无法从基于 STEM的教育中获得。”承接上文，将文科学生与 STEM 教育进行对比，符合语境。故选 E。
前文“As society continues to evolve, and people’s needs and wants continue to change, merely sticking to practical, baseline solutions will not work. That’s exactly where liberal arts come in. (随着社会的不断发展，人们的需求和愿望不断变化，仅仅坚持实用的、基本的解决方案是行不通的。这正是文科的用武之地)”说明文科在社会发展中有重要作用，后文“And that’s the beauty and importance of liberal arts.(这就是文科的美丽和重要性)”强调了人文学科的价值。F 选项“这就是为什么文科和 STEM 对一个进步的社会都很重要。”起到了承上
启下的作用，总结全文，点明主旨，符合语境。故选 F。
第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32 分)
第一节 (共 4 小题;第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分，共 12 分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
At the start of nearly every doctor's visit, chances are that you will be asked to get your weight measured for that day's exam record - and you would be hard-pressed to find a person whose physician has not brought up his or her weight at some point, and doctors' recommendations to drop pounds are still extremely common. But many conversations around weight have become a barrier, not a help, in the campaign to make people healthier.
Higher body masses are associated with increased risk for hypertension, diabetes and coronary disease. Many studies have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illnesses. But the big picture is not the whole
picture. Researchers have identified a smaller group of overweight people considered to be ''metabolically (新陈代谢地) healthy'' - meaning they do not exhibit high blood pressure or other diseases.
Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat people. Some refuse to see these patients at all, as the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported in 2011. Such practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the finding of serious underlying conditions. Not only that but doctors' appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and they routinely use negative words in their medical histories of such people. And research suggests that the stress of being a heavy person may cause metabolic changes that may lead to more poor health outcomes.
To achieve better health outcomes, doctors should focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health instead of the weight-centric health care practice. And people of all sizes are entitled to evidence-based factors that empower them and keep them healthy. Lifestyle changes, such as eating fruits, vegetables and whole grains, along with increased physical activity, can improve blood pressure, levels and sensitivity - often independently of changes in body weight.
What will you be asked to do when visiting a doctor for the first time (不多于 4 个单词)
Why does the stress of being a heavy person may lead to more poor health outcomes (不多于 6 个单词)
What are doctors expected to do to achieve better health outcomes (不多于 10 个单词)
What is the passage mainly about (不多于 4 个单词)
【答案】40．Get the weight measured. 41．Because it may cause metabolic changes. 42．Focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health. 43．Weight is not enough. / Weight doesn’t count only.
【分析】这是一篇议论文。长期以来医院的检查从病人的体重入手，认为体重和很多不健康的结果有关。而，新的研究表明，超重的人在新陈代谢方面也是健康的。因此仅通过体重判断健康与否是不合理的。
细节理解题。根据第一段的 At the start of nearly every doctor's visit, chances are that you will be asked to get your weight measured for that day's exam record 可知，在几乎每一个医生的问诊中，你都会被要求测量体重。故填：Get the weight measured.
细节理解题。根据第三段的 And research suggests that the stress of being a heavy person may cause metabolic changes that may lead to more poor health outcomes.(研究表明肥胖带来的压力会导致新陈代谢的改变，这会导致更多不良健康后果。)可知，肥胖压力导致更多不良健康结果，是因为它造成了新陈代谢的改变。故填： Because it may cause metabolic changes.
细节理解题。根据最后一段的 To achieve better health outcomes, doctors should focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health instead of the weight-centric health care practice.可知，为了实现更好的健康结果，医生应该关注那些已经被证明对健康有积极结果的行为，而不是体重为中心的保健实践。故填：Focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health.
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第二段的 But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers have identified a smaller group of overweight people considered to be ''metabolically (新陈代谢地) healthy'' - meaning they do not exhibit high blood pressure or other diseases.(但大局并不是整个局面。研究人员已经确定了一小群超重的人是“新陈代谢方面的健康”，这意味着他们没有出现高血压或者其他疾病)和最后一段的 To achieve better health outcomes, doctors should focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health
instead of the weight-centric health care practice. (为了实现更好的健康结果，医生应该关注那些已经被证明对健康有积极结果的行为，而不是体重为中心的保健实践。)可知，本文主要讲述研究证明，尽管超重和很多疾病有关，但仅通过体重作判断健康与否是不合理的。故填：Weight is not enough. / Weight doesn’t count only.第二节 (20 分)

Last summer, on her way to work in Minneapolis, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She 1 down her window, shouting, “Do you want a 2 haircut right now ”
Getting a yes, she pulled off the road, took a red chair from her car, and helped the man cut his hair. After Steller was 3 , the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he laughed.
To date, Steller has given such haircuts to people all living on the margins (边缘) around the city, and she is keenly aware of the 4 of her cleanup job.
A haircut changed Steller’s life: As a teen, with a severe disease, her hair got thinned. So, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut, where she felt 5 when talked to like a person.

What breaks Steller’s heart is just how lonely people look, so she listens to their stories of loss and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention 8
works.
And it all began with a 9 in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” says Steller, “I can’t fix people’s problems, but maybe I can help them feel less 10 for a moment.”

When facing the task of deciding your major, you should remember that the decision you make doesn’t mean you are only destined for one path.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION
Do I have a career in mind
Although your major does not necessarily dictate your career, some jobs do require a certain field of study. If you have your future career in mind, do your research and find out the education requirements. If you are at a loss with what you want to do, go ahead and research different career fields. A certain job might pique your interest, and that could prompt you to pick a certain major.
How much does money matter
Some majors do have higher potential earnings than others. If earning a lot of money is a primary goal for you, search for majors that pay off well. Feel free to reach out to the Career Center for more information on higher-earning majors and careers.
What do I love to do
If you love what you study, you will be more likely to pay full attention to your classes. which will probably lead to better grades and valuable connections in the field. Also you will find your college years more fulfilling if you cultivate your passion!
TIPS FOR DISCOVERING WHAT INTERESTS YOU
Explore different courses!
Don’t take random free electives just to meet the credit requirement for graduation. Explore different subjects! By branching out of what you know, you may discover an unexpected aptitude for sport management, or realize that you love psychology! Maybe an elective course could lead you to your major.
Meet with a CDC staff member!
Your Career Development Center (CDC) is eager to help you! Meet with a peer Career Ambassador to talk about your career goals and the options for you. Also consider scheduling an appointment with a professional staff member to discuss potential career paths, internships (实习), and more!

As a student, I spent many days and nights standing on a forested slope in the rain. I loved the outdoors, and it was more like play than work. I was thrilled when I could connect what I saw to what I read. My ideas seemed to flow like the stream I was trying to understand.
When I started my first teaching position, I no longer had the freedom to focus purely on research or think deeply about any given topic. I was consumed by pressing management demands and my creative stream narrowed.
A decade later, I moved to a new university and was able to return to the topic I studied for my Ph. D．research. I found that if I could be in the moment with my students and act as a sounding board for new ideas — and not be distracted by my mid-career responsibilities — then I could play a part in their creative thought process.
Creativity crept back into my work life, but I hadn’t yet found a way to stimulate my own deep thinking. Another decade had passed before I learned how to get my own creative stream flowing again.
After accepting a position in my hometown, I had a few months between jobs when I was as free as a bird. And that’s when my first real post-Ph. D．eureka moment (顿悟) struck, while I was at a gym watching the rain fall onto a lawn outside. I was able to visualize similar processes that I had been trying to understand. But it was even more
thrilling because it was a type of thought that I worried had permanently dried up. It was clear that I needed to slow down and experience the rain more often!
In this new job, I tried to heed (留心) this enlightenment. I made a point to think and write a little bit at home each morning, in a room overlooking the large river. After that, I’d cycle to work along the banks, which helped me process those ideas and remember my daily goal of being curious. Fun drove what I worked on. And soon enough, I had new ideas to bring to the table.
I now encourage my students to disconnect and take time out to think, to play, to have fun with their research. And to make these things a permanent habit in their lives. I also tell them to pay attention to the conditions and places that foster their curiosity and ability to think deeply. By openly discussing creativity, I hope we can help the next generation of scientists avoid losing it along the way, as I did.
What situation did the author find himself in when he started the first teaching position
He lost interest in his research. B．He couldn’t think clearly anymore. C．He was not as creative as before. D．He was heavily demanded by students.
What can we know about the author after he moved to a new university
He helped students with their Ph. D．research.
He discovered a new topic for his mid-career.
He began to take on more career responsibilities.
He engaged himself in students’ thinking process.
How did the author feel during his free time in his hometown
Energetic and proud. B．Inspired and refreshed.
C．Thrilled and supported. D．Curious and adventurous.
What can we learn from the author’s experience
East or west, home is the best.
Small streams make great rivers. C．Creativity is the mother of invention. D．All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Humans are not the only fashionistas. Even small birds like tits (ft雀) can follow colour trends. A study published
in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season’s must-have colour.
Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin were following up the work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (纱线) out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for incorporation into local birds’ nests. But which particular colour was favoured varied from season to season. This suggested that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
Williams’s work was, however, forgotten until Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin came across it while following up on a different study. The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carry transponders fitted to them. That allows the institute’s researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by logging their arrival at dispensers (分配器).
One day in March 2021, Dr. Wild, Dr. Aplin and their collaborators deployed five RFID-enabled dispensers loaded with wool rather than food. Each contained strands of two colours — either orange and pink or blue and purple
— but all were set to dispense only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser. At that moment, the other colour was made available, too. As a control, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin set up, in a separate area, four further wool-dispensers, each of which provided two colours from the start.
Of 68 tits’ nests built that season in the experimental areas, 26 included wool from a dispenser. Of these, 18 were constructed after both colours had become available from all dispensers. Even so, ten of those 18 included only the colour of wool first chosen by a nest-builder. By contrast, all eight wool-bearing nests in the control zone contained a mixture of colours — a statistically significant difference.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend” when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains obscure. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders, since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices are arbitrary. A bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.
How did Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin build their study upon Williams’s earlier work
By focusing on purple nest decoration materials.
By observing the same tit species in Williams’s garden.
By using tracking technology to test Williams’s finding.
By copying his experiment with the same coloured yarns.
What can be learned from the research of Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin
They used RFID-enabled dispensers to observe the living habits of the birds.
They conducted a controlled experiment on the birds’ colour preferences. C．Multicoloured wool strands were released together from the start.
D．Food was supplied to the birds through the dispensers.
A．Unclear. B．Apparent.
C．Unexpected. D．Reasonable.
What is the purpose of this passage
To call on people to protect the diverse species of tits.
To suggest that younger tits set the fashion for the season.
To inform that tits can be fashion followers just like humans.
To present some effective methods applied in scientific research.
D
The Power of a Smile
In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it's easy to forget the simple pleasures that come from human interaction. One such pleasure is the power of a smile. A smile is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can change the mood of a room, brighten someone's day, and even improve one's own mental well-being.
The science behind smiling is fascinating. When we smile, our brain releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural mood elevators. These endorphins help to reduce stress and create a sense of happiness and relaxation. Moreover, smiling can also be contagious. Studies have shown that when one person smiles, it can trigger a response in others to smile as well, creating a positive feedback loop.
However, in today's fast-paced world, people often forget to smile. The hustle and bustle of daily life can leave us feeling stressed and disconnected from others. But it's important to remember that a smile can be a powerful tool for connection. It can break the ice in social situations, ease tension in difficult conversations, and even help to build trust and rapport.
In addition to its social benefits, smiling also has health benefits. Regular smiling can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and even improve one's physical appearance. It's a natural anti-aging remedy that can make one look younger and more approachable.
So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, try smiling. It might just be the small act that makes a big difference in your day and the days of those around you. Remember, the power of a smile is not just a saying — it's a scientifically proven fact.
What is the main idea of the article
The importance of technology in our lives.
The universal language of a smile and its benefits.
D．The role of endorphins in reducing stress.
According to the article, what happens in our brain when we smile
We feel more stressed.
Our blood pressure increases.
We release chemicals that elevate our mood.
We become more prone to illness.
Why can smiling be considered contagious
Because it's a cultural norm.
Because it's a natural anti-aging remedy.
Because it's a sign of good health.
Because it triggers a response in others to smile as well.

The Grand Canal is a vast waterway system in China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang province in the south. It stretches for nearly 3,200 kilometers and passes through eight of the country’s provinces and municipalities.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the canal is the longest and oldest artificial river in the world. It has played an important role in ensuring China’s economic prosperity and stability, and is in use today as a major means of transportation.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal is 82 km long. Along it, cultural relics and sites on both banks are important symbols of culture and are considered a top priority for protection by the local government.
The city government has unveiled two development plans: the first is an implementation plan for the protection, inheritance and utilization of the canal’s cultural values; the second is a construction plan for building a Grand Canal-themed national cultural park.
The plan sets up three implementation milestones in the next five years. In 2020, efforts have been made to lay a firm foundation for the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, with the Tongzhou section of the canal open to navigation and a management mechanism of the park established. By 2023, significant progress is expected to be made in coordinating the protection and utilization of cultural resources along the canal, with the national cultural park basically set up. By 2025, the park will become a new cultural landmark in Beijing. The Grand Canal, with its cultural resources put under protection and ecological conservation along its banks significantly improved, will embrace improved cultural and tourism development. Cities along the canal by then will welcome further coordinated or integrated development.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal, a valued asset for the capital, is marked out as a river boasting rich
cultural resources, ecological value, social benefits and economic potential. The capital is set to roll out more measures to bring out the best in the canal.

B
As a student, I spent many days and nights standing on a forested slope in the rain. I loved the outdoors, and it was more like play than work. I was thrilled when I could connect what I saw to what I read. My ideas seemed to flow like the stream I was trying to understand.
When I started my first teaching position, I no longer had the freedom to focus purely on research or think
deeply about any given topic. I was consumed by pressing management demands and my creative stream narrowed.
A decade later, I moved to a new university and was able to return to the topic I studied for my Ph. D． research. I found that if I could be in the moment with my students and act as a sounding board for new ideas — and not be distracted by my mid-career responsibilities — then I could play a part in their creative thought process. Creativity crept back into my work life, but I hadn’t yet found a way to stimulate my own deep thinking.
Another decade had passed before I learned how to get my own creative stream flowing again.
After accepting a position in my hometown, I had a few months between jobs when I was as free as a bird. And that’s when my first real post-Ph. D．eureka moment (顿悟) struck, while I was at a gym watching the rain fall onto a lawn outside. I was able to visualize similar processes that I had been trying to understand. But it was even more thrilling because it was a type of thought that I worried had permanently dried up. It was clear that I needed to slow down and experience the rain more often!
In this new job, I tried to heed (留心) this enlightenment. I made a point to think and write a little bit at home each morning, in a room overlooking the large river. After that, I’d cycle to work along the banks, which helped me process those ideas and remember my daily goal of being curious. Fun drove what I worked on. And soon enough, I had new ideas to bring to the table.
I now encourage my students to disconnect and take time out to think, to play, to have fun with their research. And to make these things a permanent habit in their lives. I also tell them to pay attention to the conditions and places that foster their curiosity and ability to think deeply. By openly discussing creativity, I hope we can help the next generation of scientists avoid losing it along the way, as I did.
What situation did the author find himself in when he started the first teaching position
He lost interest in his research. B．He couldn’t think clearly anymore. C．He was not as creative as before. D．He was heavily demanded by students.
What can we know about the author after he moved to a new university
He helped students with their Ph. D．research.
He discovered a new topic for his mid-career.
He began to take on more career responsibilities.
He engaged himself in students’ thinking process.
How did the author feel during his free time in his hometown
Energetic and proud. B．Inspired and refreshed.
C．Thrilled and supported. D．Curious and adventurous.
What can we learn from the author’s experience
East or west, home is the best.
Small streams make great rivers. C．Creativity is the mother of invention. D．All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.
【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者在读博士时，很有创造力，但是开始第一份教学工作时，作者的创造力干涸了，在经过一段时间的探索，作者又重新找回了创造力。
推理判断题。根据第二段“When I started my first teaching position, I no longer had the freedom to focus purely on research or think deeply about any given topic. I was consumed by pressing management demands and my creative stream narrowed.( 当我开始我的第一个教学职位时，我不再有纯粹专注于研究或深入思考任何给 定主题的自由。我被紧迫的管理要求所消耗，我的创意流也变窄了。)”可知，当作者开始第一份教学工作时，他被紧迫的管理需求所占据，不再有自由纯粹地专注于研究或深入思考任何特定话题，他的创作灵感也变
窄了，即他不像以前那样有创造力了。故选 C 项。
细节理解题。根据第三段“A decade later, I moved to a new university and was able to return to the topic I studied for my Ph. D. research. I found that if I could be in the moment with my students and act as a sounding board for new ideas — and not be distracted by my mid-career responsibilities—then I could play a part in their
creative thought process.( 十年后，我去了一所新的大学，又回到了我的博士研究课题。我发现，如果我能和我的学生们在一起，充当新想法的传声筒，而不被我的中期职业责任分散注意力，那么我就能在他们的创造性思维过程中发挥作用。)”可知，作者搬到新大学后，能够回到他博士研究的课题上，并且发现如果他能和学生在一起，作为新想法的倾听者，不被职业生涯中期的责任分散注意力，他就能参与到学生的创造性思维过程中。故选 D 项。
推理判断题。根据第五段“After accepting a position in my hometown, I had a few months between jobs when I was as free as a bird. And that’s when my first real post-Ph. D. eureka moment (顿悟) struck, while I was at a gym watching the rain fall onto a lawn outside. I was able to visualize similar processes that I had been trying to
understand. But it was even more thrilling because it was a type of thought that I worried had permanently dried up. It was clear that I needed to slow down and experience the rain more often!( 在接受了家乡的一份工作后，我有几个月的空闲时间。那是我博士毕业后第一次真正的。灵光一现的时刻来了，当时我正在健身房看着雨落
在外面的草坪上。我能够想象出我一直试图理解的类似过程。但更令人兴奋的是，我担心这种想法已经永
远枯竭了。很明显，我需要慢下来，多体验一下下雨的感觉！)”可知，作者在家乡有几个月的空闲时间，像
鸟儿一样自由，并且有了顿悟，能够想象出他一直试图理解的类似过程，而且这种想法让他很激动，因为他曾担心这种思维已经永远枯竭了，他意识到自己需要慢下来，更多地体验这种时刻。所以作者在这段时间感到受到启发且精神振奋。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“I now encourage my students to disconnect and take time out to think, to play, to have fun with their research. And to make these things a permanent habit in their lives. I also tell them to pay attention to the conditions and places that foster their curiosity and ability to think deeply. By openly discussing creativity, I hope we can help the next generation of scientists avoid losing it along the way, as I did.(
我现在鼓励我的学生们脱离现实，花时间去思考，去玩耍，去享受他们的研究。并使这些事情成为他们生 活中永久的习惯。我还告诉他们要注意那些能培养他们好奇心和深度思考能力的条件和场所。通过公开讨论创造力，我希望我们可以帮助下一代科学家避免像我一样在这个过程中失去创造力。)”可知，作者一开始热爱户外研究，想法如溪流般流淌，后来从事教学工作被管理需求占据，创造力下降，之后通过让自己放松、有空闲时间去思考和体验，创造力又回来了。作者还鼓励学生断开连接，抽出时间去思考、玩耍，把这些变成生活中的习惯。这说明只工作不玩耍会让人变得迟钝，即“All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.”（只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻）。故选 D 项。
C
Humans are not the only fashionistas. Even small birds like tits (山雀) can follow colour trends. A study published in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season’s must-have colour.
Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin were following up the work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (纱线) out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for incorporation into local birds’ nests. But which particular colour was favoured varied from season to season. This suggested that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
Williams’s work was, however, forgotten until Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin came across it while following up on a different study. The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carry transponders fitted to them. That allows the institute’s researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by logging their arrival at dispensers (分配器).
One day in March 2021, Dr. Wild, Dr. Aplin and their collaborators deployed five RFID-enabled dispensers
loaded with wool rather than food. Each contained strands of two colours — either orange and pink or blue and
purple — but all were set to dispense only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser. At that moment, the other colour was made available, too. As a control, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin set up, in a separate area, four further wool-dispensers, each of which provided two colours from the start.
Of 68 tits’ nests built that season in the experimental areas, 26 included wool from a dispenser. Of these, 18 were constructed after both colours had become available from all dispensers. Even so, ten of those 18 included only the colour of wool first chosen by a nest-builder. By contrast, all eight wool-bearing nests in the control zone contained a mixture of colours — a statistically significant difference.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend” when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains obscure. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and that evolution favours younger ones
copying their elders, since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices are arbitrary. A bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.
How did Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin build their study upon Williams’s earlier work
By focusing on purple nest decoration materials.
By observing the same tit species in Williams’s garden.
By using tracking technology to test Williams’s finding.
By copying his experiment with the same coloured yarns.
What can be learned from the research of Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin
They used RFID-enabled dispensers to observe the living habits of the birds.
They conducted a controlled experiment on the birds’ colour preferences. C．Multicoloured wool strands were released together from the start.
D．Food was supplied to the birds through the dispensers.
What does the word “obscure” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean
Unclear. B．Apparent.
C．Unexpected. D．Reasonable.
What is the purpose of this passage
To call on people to protect the diverse species of tits.
To suggest that younger tits set the fashion for the season.
To inform that tits can be fashion followers just like humans.
To present some effective methods applied in scientific research.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了山雀也会像人类一样追随色彩潮流，科学家通过实验对此进行了研究。
推理判断题。根据第三段“Williams’s work was, however, forgotten until Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin came across it while following up on a different study. The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carry transponders fitted to them.

(分配器). (威廉姆斯的工作被遗忘了，直到怀尔德博士和阿普林博士在跟进另一项研究时发现了它。他们跟踪的鸟类是研究所附近一片树林中受监测的蓝山雀、大山雀和沼泽山雀种群的一部分。这片树林里的大多数鸟都装有应答器。这使得研究所的研究人员能够通过记录它们到达分配器的时间来追踪大量个体)”可知，怀尔德博士和阿普林博士利用追踪技术来追踪鸟类，进而测试威廉姆斯的发现。故选 C。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段“One day in March 2021, Dr. Wild, Dr. Aplin and their collaborators deployed five RFID-enabled dispensers loaded with wool rather than food. Each contained strands of two colours — either
orange and pink or blue and purple — but all were set to dispense only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser.

词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Why that should happen remains obscure. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders, since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices

种潮流的原因，说明他们认为山雀追随潮流的原因还不明确，obscure 意为“不清楚的”，与“Unclear”意思相符。故选 A。
推理判断题。根据第一段中提到“Humans are not the only fashionistas. Even small birds like tits (山雀) can follow colour trends. (人类并不是唯一追求时尚的。即使是像山雀这样的小鸟也能追随色彩潮流)”接着详细介绍了科学家为研究山雀是否会追随色彩潮流所做的实验及结果，最后提到山雀在筑巢材料颜色选择上跟随潮流的原因尚不清楚，但这种现象与人类时尚引领者的选择有些相似。由此可知，文章主要是为了告知读者山雀可以像人类一样成为时尚追随者。故选 C。

The Power of a Smile
In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it's easy to forget the simple pleasures that come from human interaction. One such pleasure is the power of a smile. A smile is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can change the mood of a room, brighten someone's day, and even improve one's own mental well-being.
The science behind smiling is fascinating. When we smile, our brain releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural mood elevators. These endorphins help to reduce stress and create a sense of happiness and relaxation. Moreover, smiling can also be contagious. Studies have shown that when one person smiles, it can trigger a response in others to smile as well, creating a positive feedback loop.
However, in today's fast-paced world, people often forget to smile. The hustle and bustle of daily life can leave us feeling stressed and disconnected from others. But it's important to remember that a smile can be a powerful tool for connection. It can break the ice in social situations, ease tension in difficult conversations, and even help to build trust and rapport.
In addition to its social benefits, smiling also has health benefits. Regular smiling can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and even improve one's physical appearance. It's a natural anti-aging remedy that can make one look younger and more approachable.
So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, try smiling. It might just be the small act that makes a big difference in your day and the days of those around you. Remember, the power of a smile is not just a saying — it's a scientifically proven fact.
What is the main idea of the article
The importance of technology in our lives.
The universal language of a smile and its benefits.
The negative effects of a fast-paced lifestyle.
The role of endorphins in reducing stress.
According to the article, what happens in our brain when we smile
We feel more stressed.
Our blood pressure increases.
We release chemicals that elevate our mood.
We become more prone to illness.
Why can smiling be considered contagious
Because it's a cultural norm.
Because it's a natural anti-aging remedy.
Because it's a sign of good health.
Because it triggers a response in others to smile as well.
【答案】32．B 33．C 34．D

主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it's easy to forget the simple pleasures that come from human interaction. One such pleasure is the power of a smile. A smile is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can
change the mood of a room, brighten someone's day, and even improve one's own mental well-being.(在一个科技已经成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分的世界里，我们很容易忘记人与人之间互动所带来的简单快乐。其中一种快乐就是微笑的力量。微笑是一种超越文化和语言障碍的通用语言。这是一个简单而有力的姿势，可以改变房间的情绪，照亮某人的一天，甚至改善自己的心理健康)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了微笑的力量和它的益处。它认为微笑是一种超越文化和语言障碍的通用语言，有能力使某人的日子变得光明，改善精神福祉，减轻压力，甚至带来身体健康的好处。故选 B。
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When we smile, our brain releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural mood elevators.(当我们微笑时，我们的大脑会释放内啡肽，这是一种天然的情绪提升剂)”可知，当我们微笑时，我们的大脑会释放提升情绪的化学物质。故选 C。
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Moreover, smiling can also be contagious. Studies have shown that when one
person smiles, it can trigger a response in others to smile as well, creating a positive feedback loop.(此外，微笑也会传染。研究表明，当一个人微笑时，它可以引发其他人也微笑的反应，从而形成一个积极的反馈循环)”可知，微笑具有传染性，因为一个人的微笑可以触发其他人也微笑的反应，形成一个积极的反馈循环。故选 D。
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，共 10 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Make Sure Your Idea Doesn’t Die Getting great ideas It’s Easy. Following up on them is hard! 35 . Ask “Why doesn’t this work”.
Although he might have had the idea for it, Steve Jobs didn’t just have the iPhone’s unique touch screen in a single night. Instead, he thought about the present situation of smart phones and continually asked a single question: “Why don’t they work ” 36 .
37 .
A good routine often helps you put your ideas into action. Toni Morrison, an outstanding writer, has a more special routine centered on daylight. She rises at around 5:00 each morning to watch the dawn. For her, it’s important to wake before the light and observe the transition(转变) into day. 38 . Whatever you choose as your morning routine, consider it as the reliable framework that gives you the best idea.
Don’t fly alone.
When ideas meet in a shared physical or mental space, creative ideas are bound to happen—which is great. Working in a shared physical space just might help you find your ideal creative partners. 39 . Besides, they may provide detailed focus that might not be your strong suit. Of course, partners needn’t pursue everything together. A creative conversation is more useful, which can set up a series of goals toward which the individual team members are free to work on their own.
Make full use of your spare time
Never ignore the power of routine
They can strengthen your confidence and give some valuable suggestions
This one little question helped him get from an idea to a practical solution
He makes a great contribution to “the look and feel of the product”
Here are some tips to make sure your great idea becomes a reality
She considers it a special moment that inspires her to write
【答案】35．F 36．D 37．B 38．G 39．C
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要就如何让自己的想法变成现实提供了可行的方法。
根据下文给出的三种方法可知，此处应该是一个过渡句，起承上启下的作用。故选 F 项。
根据该空前面“Why don’t they work ”可推出“This one little question helped him get from an idea to a practical solution”就是这个小问题帮他把想法变成了实际的解决方案，这样搭配符合上下文逻辑。故选 D 项。 37．分析文章可知，此处是选起总结性作用的小标题。通过分析下面自然段的大意可知，该段主要讲好的 日常生活模式也会有助于把想法变成现实。故选 B 项。
联系前文“For her, it’s important to wake before the light and observe the transition(转变) into day”对于她来说在天亮以前起床观察一整天的变化是很重要的，接下句“She considers it a special moment that inspires her to write”她把这个时刻看作是启发写作的特殊时刻，此句中的 special moment 就是指天亮以前，这样上下句切合紧密且符合逻辑。故选 G 项。
根据此空的上下文可知，此处讲关于找搭档的话题。找到理想的且有创造力的搭档会让你更加自信而且也可以给你有价值的建议，这样前后句符合逻辑。Partners 是复数形式，后文用 they 来代指，语法上也符合。故选 C 项。
【点睛】选择小标题这类题，我们可以用排除法来做。因为标题一般较短，所以我们可以只看句子结构较短的选项，这样就可以缩小选择范围。例如第 3 题，当分析出是选择标题时，我们可以只看 AB 两个选项，因为它们较短。然后看 AB 选项中，哪个能总结下面的一个自然段就可以了。
第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32 分)

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
The Grand Canal is a vast waterway system in China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang province in the south. It stretches for nearly 3,200 kilometers and passes through eight of the country’s provinces and municipalities.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the canal is the longest and oldest artificial river in the world. It has
played an important role in ensuring China’s economic prosperity and stability, and is in use today as a major means of transportation.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal is 82 km long. Along it, cultural relics and sites on both banks are important symbols of culture and are considered a top priority for protection by the local government.
The city government has unveiled two development plans: the first is an implementation plan for the protection, inheritance and utilization of the canal’s cultural values; the second is a construction plan for building a Grand Canal-themed national cultural park.
The plan sets up three implementation milestones in the next five years. In 2020, efforts have been made to lay a firm foundation for the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, with the Tongzhou section of the canal open to navigation and a management mechanism of the park established. By 2023, significant progress is expected to be made in coordinating the protection and utilization of cultural resources along the canal, with the national cultural park basically set up. By 2025, the park will become a new cultural landmark in Beijing. The Grand Canal, with its cultural resources put under protection and ecological conservation along its banks significantly improved, will embrace improved cultural and tourism development. Cities along the canal by then will welcome further coordinated or integrated development.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal, a valued asset for the capital, is marked out as a river boasting rich cultural resources, ecological value, social benefits and economic potential. The capital is set to roll out more measures to bring out the best in the canal.
According to the passage, what roles has the Grand Canal played
What does the Beijing government consider a top priority for protection along the Grand Canal
Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
With its protected cultural resources and improved ecological conservation along its banks, the Grand Canal will embrace improved cultural and industrial development.
There are many UNESCO World Heritage sites in China. What can we do to protect them (In about 40 words)
【答案】
40．The Grand Canal has played an important role in ensuring China’s economic prosperity and stability. 41． Cultural relics and sites on both banks are considered a top priority for protection by the local government. 42． The part “the Grand Canal will embrace improved cultural and industrial development.” is wrong. According to the content of the development plan, The Grand Canal, with its cultural resources put under protection and ecological
conservation along its banks significantly improved, will embrace improved cultural and tourism development.
43．To protect UNESCO World Heritage sites , we can not only use the news media to arouse people’s awareness of preservation but also enforce laws to intensify the protection. Besides, the school should implant the education of protecting cultural heritages.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了京杭大运河在国内外的重要地位以及北京政府对于京杭大运河北京段未来的两个发展计划。
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“It has played an important role in ensuring China’s economic prosperity and stability, and is in use today as a major means of transportation.（它在确保中国经济繁荣稳定方面起到了重要的 作用并在今天被用作主要的交通手段。）”可知，京杭大运河在确保中国经济繁荣稳定方面起到了重要的作用，故答案为 The Grand Canal has played an important role in ensuring China’s economic prosperity and stability.
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Along it, cultural relics and sites on both banks are important symbols of culture and are considered a top priority for protection by the local government（. 沿河两岸的文物和遗迹是文化重要的标志并且被当地政府视为保护的重中之重。）”可知，当地政府视为保护的重中之重的部分是京杭大运河两岸的文物和遗迹，故答案为 Cultural relics and sites on both banks are considered a top priority for protection by the local government.
考查推理判断。根据第五段“The Grand Canal, with its cultural resources put under protection and ecological conservation along its banks significantly improved, will embrace improved cultural and tourism development.（随着沿河两岸的文化资源保护和生态保护有了显著的改善，京杭大运河将会拥有文化和旅游业发展的改善。）”可知，京杭大运河将会拥有文化和旅游业的改善，推断出划线部分中工业得到改善是错误的。故答案为 The part “the Grand Canal will embrace improved cultural and industrial development.” is wrong. According to the
content of the development plan, The Grand Canal, with its cultural resources put under protection and ecological conservation along its banks significantly improved, will embrace improved cultural and tourism development.
开放性试题。题目要求写出对于世界文化遗产的保护措施，可以从利用媒体唤起人们的保护意识，利用法律约束和学校教育三个方面入手，故答案为 To protect UNESCO World Heritage sites , we can not only use
the news media to arouse people’s awareness of preservation but also enforce laws to intensify the protection. Besides, the school should implant the education of protecting cultural heritages.
