二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
TikTok millionaires and AI tools make a college look like an overpriced relic, so it’s fair to ask: Are degrees even worth it anymore Some absolutely are and some absolutely are not. The key is relevance. If you invest four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars, you had better make sure you’re walking away with something more than just a piece of paper and a student loan. A Pew Research Center survey found that more than half of college graduates are underemployed. Choosing the right subject is crucial to boosting earning power. Here are three that often are worthy of attention before choosing.
General Liberal Arts
Philosophy, History and English sound noble, but unless you pair them with a strong second major or a clear plan, they often leave graduates directionless. The biggest gaps are digital fluency and job-specific training. Most Liberal Arts programs don’t cover the tools modern workplaces run on, like Excel or basic marketing and analytic software.
Visual and Performing Arts
Unless you’re at Juilliard or already breaking through on your own, degrees in acting, dance or fine art often end in debt and disappointment. The industry rewards talent, not diplomas. Graduates are rarely taught the business side of the arts: branding, networking, or managing contracts and finances.
Communications
Once considered a solid course, a broad communications degree has lost its advantage. Unless integrated with a specialization like digital marketing, media production or public relations, it often lacks the technical execution and measurable outcomes employers demand.
21. What is the best advice for a Visual and Performing Arts student
A. To obtain more certificates.
B. To switch to a business major.
C. To learn marketing software.
D. To gain business skills in the arts.
22. What do the subjects have in common
A. Focusing on learning arts.
B. Ensuring promising pay in career.
C. Requiring academic performance.
D. Lacking practical skills for jobs.
23. Who is the passage targeted at
A. Professors in college.
B. Graduates in high school.
C. Parents of college students.
D. Human resources managers.
B
I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s guidance. I always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn’t feel it when reading French novels; I didn’t feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I’m emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopelessness and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.
Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I’ve come. They are not the norm (常态), though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
24. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French
A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding.
25. Why does the author emphasize feelings
A. To highlight his struggles in learning French.
B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
26. According to the author, what is the real challenge in learning a language
A. Mastering complicated grammar. B. Overcoming the fear of making mistakes.
C. Finding enough time to study. D. Understanding native speakers.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The lows are always followed by highs. B. Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C. Struggles are an essential part of learning. D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs.
C
Imagine a herd of 100 life-sized elephant sculptures, each crafted by native Indian craftsmen, traveling around the world. This is The Great Elephant Migration — a campaign that uses a unique combination of art, conservation and cultural heritage to raise awareness about wildlife protection and the importance of living in harmony with nature.
By transforming public spaces with these striking sculptures,The Great Elephant Migration aims to inspire a global movement to protect endangered species and promote sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife.
Each elephant in the migration is a perfect replica (复制品) crafted by The Coexistence Collective, a community of 200 native Indian craftsmen from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Over the past five years, this collective has beautifully brought to life every elephant they live alongside, capturing each one in sculptural detail.
The sculptures are made from Lantana camara, an invasive plant species causing significant ecological damage in India. By using this material, the project not only transforms a problem into art but also helps in the large-scale removal of Lantana from protected areas, freeing up more space for wildlife and contributing to forest restoration.
The migration began its march in the US on July 4, 2024, and is set to cover several locations across North America and conclude in Los Angeles, California, in September 2025. At each stop, the herd transforms public spaces, inviting local communities and visitors to engage with the sculptures and the stories they represent. The migration serves as a poignant metaphor for the real-life migrations of animals, which are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change.
The Great Elephant Migration is more than a visual sight; it’s a call to action.Funds raised through the sale of the elephant sculptures will support conservation projects around the world, particularly those promoting coexistence with wildlife.
28. What’s the aim of The Great Elephant Migration
A. To introduce Indian craftsmanship globally.
B. To highlight the threats faced by Asian elephants.
C. To promote a global wildlife conservation initiative.
D. To advocate art as a universal language of wildlife protection.
29. What does the underlined “a problem” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The decline of the population of elephants.
B. The damage caused by invasive plant species.
C. The limited space available for animal habitats.
D. The lack of awareness about wildlife conservation.
30. How do local communities get involved in the campaign during the tour
A. By donating to fund wildlife protection.
B. By creating elephant sculptures in person.
C. By learning about real-life animal migrations.
D. By exploring conservation stories behind sculptures
31. What might be the best title for the text
A. Elephants Marching Across the U. S.
B. Lantana Elephants: A Visual Treat
C. Making an Impact through Conservation
D. A Moving Celebration of Coexistence and Conservation
D
Small setbacks in your day — like spilling your coffee or waiting in a long line at the gas station — can ruin your day. But the burnt toast theory is a belief that those minor inconveniences can lead to a positive outcome at a later time.
What is the burnt toast theory “It’s a concept based on reframing similar to redefine. something as simple as burning your toast in the morning, though it might be depressing and inconvenient, might actually have happened for good reason,” explains Dr. Markley. “Maybe it slows you down a bit, but it may also give you an extra two minutes to breathe while you wait for new toast.”
The idea is that these depressing situations may have a domino effect (多米诺效应) in your life — setting you up for something positive or keeping you from other problematic situations. Dr. Markley says that even if burning your toast impacts your day by changing the course of events, the setback does provide an opportunity to deal with, reframe your depression, and then refocus your thoughts and energy more productively. And it doesn’t just have to be burnt toast that leads to you reframing your day — it’s more of a metaphor (暗喻) for how daily troublesome occurrences can lead to a positive moment in your life.
It’s easy to think that burnt toast is just like other positive thinking methods such as lucky girl syndrome (综合征) or harmful positivity, which is a belief that you should have a positive outlook on life regardless of the situation. “I describe harmful positivity as throwing light at things that don’t shine. Harmful positivity is not actually all that helpful. some things are allowed to be upsetting and not everything needs to be positively reframed,” stresses Dr. Markley.
“The burnt toast theory isn’t encouraging you to be grateful for blackened toast. You can still be depressed that your toast is burnt, but it gives you an opportunity to reroute, reframe and overcome a small setback.”
32. How does the author explain “setbacks” in paragraph 1
A. By quoting an expert. B. By listing examples.
C. By giving a definition. D. By citing a theory.
33. What can we learn about the burnt toast theory
A. It was initiated by Dr. Markley. B. It is based on domino effects.
C. It helps distinguish false depression. D. It encourages redefining negativity.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss about the burnt toast theory
A. Its basic principle. B. Its unique feature.
C. Its current popularity. D. Its future development.
35. Which saying matches the idea of the burnt toast theory
A. Each dog has its day. B. still waters run deep.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Misfortune never comes single.

In the corner of our basement sits a shelf filled with old radios — wooden boxes with metal buttons and antennas (天线), whose colors faded with time. To most, they might seem like waste. But to my grandfather, they were treasure chests of stories.
My grandfather grew up in a small mountain village, where the only way to hear news of the outside world was through an old, noisy and unclear radio that he fixed by connecting wires under high heat. “I didn’t understand most of the words,” he used to laugh. “But the music spoke to me.” Fixing radios became more than a hobby — it was how he reached out to the world. He learned everything through repeated trials, until broken silence turned into sound again.
My mother never planned to keep this habit. As a teenager, she preferred tape players and music that she could carry with her. But when Grandpa passed away, she couldn’t throw away his tools or the radios he left. “They’re part of him,” she once said, gently turning a round metal button on one of the radios. Slowly, she began trying to fix a few of them, not as an expert, but with care and curiosity.
By the time I was ten, I had watched my mother spend many weekends surrounded by small parts and wires. “Come and try with me,” she said one Saturday. “Let’s see if we can fix this one together.” I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t even like machines. I enjoyed reading and drawing. But when she turned the button and a jazz tune started playing, I felt something touched me.
Soon, fixing radios became our weekly activity. She showed me how to look closely at every wire and tiny part, and how to be patient and listen carefully. “Sometimes the problem isn’t what you see,” she said. “It’s what you hear — or don’t hear.”
Unlike my mother, I fell in love with it quickly. I began collecting old radios from neighbors and even tried fixing ones that no longer worked. I didn’t just want to make them work — I wanted to bring back their sound.
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。

C. Success comes from hard work.
【答案】14. C 15. B 16. B 17. A
【原文】M: Anna, tell us how your shows for children started. You used to illustrate children’s books at college, didn’t you
W: That’s right, but I stopped painting when my daughter was born. I considered teaching art classes part-time, but instead, I decided to start making toy animals for my daughter. I love acting, so I often created little plays for the toy animals and did the voices myself.
M: And when did you start doing shows for other people
W: I wrote a little show and acted it out at my daughter’s fifth birthday party. It was popular. Soon, other parents invited me to perform the show at their children’s parties. That’s how it began.
M: It must be a lot of work for you.
W: Yes, I needed someone to help me. Luckily, my neighbor Linda was eager to perform with me. Her husband records the music to go with the shows.
M: Have you ever encountered any problems
W: Only once. I performed a show for a group of three-year-olds, and I’d written a story about a lion. Unfortunately, the children were quite afraid of the lion and started crying. That experience taught me that I need to find out in advance what children enjoy.
M: And the shows continue to be successful
W: Yes, they do. I love every minute of every show, and other people love them too.

【原文】
If you’re looking for a special present for yourself or a friend, why not book a flight in a hot air balloon These exciting trips give you the chance to enjoy a really unusual view of the countryside. For a successful flight, we need light winds. It’s also important that there’s no rain and we have a clear sky. If there are too many clouds, we’ll cancel the flight and your trip will be arranged for another date.
The temperature in the air is similar to that on the ground, so you should wear casual outdoor clothes. Also, you should remember to wear boots. This is because you may need to walk through wet and muddy fields at the end of the trip.
All our flights take place in the evening and departure time depends on when the sun sets. The season starts in March, and in May, for example, flights would be at 6:00 pm. The last flights are in October, and after that we close for the winter.
If you would like to book a flight or receive more information about hot air balloons, just feel free to call us. It will be a trip you will never forget.

A
TikTok millionaires and AI tools make a college look like an overpriced relic, so it’s fair to ask: Are degrees even worth it anymore Some absolutely are and some absolutely are not. The key is relevance. If you invest four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars, you had better make sure you’re walking away with something more than just a piece of paper and a student loan. A Pew Research Center survey found that more than half of college graduates are underemployed. Choosing the right subject is crucial to boosting earning power. Here are three that often are worthy of attention before choosing.
General Liberal Arts
Philosophy, History and English sound noble, but unless you pair them with a strong second major or a clear plan, they often leave graduates directionless. The biggest gaps are digital fluency and job-specific training. Most Liberal Arts programs don’t cover the tools modern workplaces run on, like Excel or basic marketing and analytic software.
Visual and Performing Arts
Unless you’re at Juilliard or already breaking through on your own, degrees in acting, dance or fine art often end in debt and disappointment. The industry rewards talent, not diplomas. Graduates are rarely taught the business side of the arts: branding, networking, or managing contracts and finances.
Communications
Once considered a solid course, a broad communications degree has lost its advantage. Unless integrated with a specialization like digital marketing, media production or public relations, it often lacks the technical execution and measurable outcomes employers demand.
21. What is the best advice for a Visual and Performing Arts student
A. To obtain more certificates.
B. To switch to a business major.
C. To learn marketing software.
D. To gain business skills in the arts.
22. What do the subjects have in common
A. Focusing on learning arts.
B. Ensuring promising pay in career.
C. Requiring academic performance.
D. Lacking practical skills for jobs.
23. Who is the passage targeted at
A. Professors in college.
B. Graduates in high school.
C. Parents of college students.
D. Human resources managers.
【答案】21. D 22. D 23. B
B
I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s guidance. I always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn’t feel it when reading French novels; I didn’t feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I’m emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopelessness and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.
Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I’ve come. They are not the norm (常态), though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
24. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French
A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding.
25. Why does the author emphasize feelings
A. To highlight his struggles in learning French.
B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
26. According to the author, what is the real challenge in learning a language
A. Mastering complicated grammar. B. Overcoming the fear of making mistakes.
C. Finding enough time to study. D. Understanding native speakers.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The lows are always followed by highs. B. Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C. Struggles are an essential part of learning. D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. C

Imagine a herd of 100 life-sized elephant sculptures, each crafted by native Indian craftsmen, traveling around the world. This is The Great Elephant Migration — a campaign that uses a unique combination of art, conservation and cultural heritage to raise awareness about wildlife protection and the importance of living in harmony with nature.
By transforming public spaces with these striking sculptures,The Great Elephant Migration aims to inspire a global movement to protect endangered species and promote sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife.
Each elephant in the migration is a perfect replica (复制品) crafted by The Coexistence Collective, a community of 200 native Indian craftsmen from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Over the past five years, this collective has beautifully brought to life every elephant they live alongside, capturing each one in sculptural detail.
The sculptures are made from Lantana camara, an invasive plant species causing significant ecological damage in India. By using this material, the project not only transforms a problem into art but also helps in the large-scale removal of Lantana from protected areas, freeing up more space for wildlife and contributing to forest restoration.
The migration began its march in the US on July 4, 2024, and is set to cover several locations across North America and conclude in Los Angeles, California, in September 2025. At each stop, the herd transforms public spaces, inviting local communities and visitors to engage with the sculptures and the stories they represent. The migration serves as a poignant metaphor for the real-life migrations of animals, which are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change.
The Great Elephant Migration is more than a visual sight; it’s a call to action.Funds raised through the sale of the elephant sculptures will support conservation projects around the world, particularly those promoting coexistence with wildlife.
28. What’s the aim of The Great Elephant Migration
A. To introduce Indian craftsmanship globally.
B. To highlight the threats faced by Asian elephants.
C. To promote a global wildlife conservation initiative.
D. To advocate art as a universal language of wildlife protection.
29. What does the underlined “a problem” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The decline of the population of elephants.
B. The damage caused by invasive plant species.
C. The limited space available for animal habitats.
D. The lack of awareness about wildlife conservation.
30. How do local communities get involved in the campaign during the tour
A. By donating to fund wildlife protection.
B. By creating elephant sculptures in person.
C. By learning about real-life animal migrations.
D. By exploring conservation stories behind sculptures
31. What might be the best title for the text
A. Elephants Marching Across the U. S.
B. Lantana Elephants: A Visual Treat
C. Making an Impact through Conservation
D. A Moving Celebration of Coexistence and Conservation
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. D
D
Small setbacks in your day — like spilling your coffee or waiting in a long line at the gas station — can ruin your day. But the burnt toast theory is a belief that those minor inconveniences can lead to a positive outcome at a later time.
What is the burnt toast theory “It’s a concept based on reframing similar to redefine. something as simple as burning your toast in the morning, though it might be depressing and inconvenient, might actually have happened for good reason,” explains Dr. Markley. “Maybe it slows you down a bit, but it may also give you an extra two minutes to breathe while you wait for new toast.”
The idea is that these depressing situations may have a domino effect (多米诺效应) in your life — setting you up for something positive or keeping you from other problematic situations. Dr. Markley says that even if burning your toast impacts your day by changing the course of events, the setback does provide an opportunity to deal with, reframe your depression, and then refocus your thoughts and energy more productively. And it doesn’t just have to be burnt toast that leads to you reframing your day — it’s more of a metaphor (暗喻) for how daily troublesome occurrences can lead to a positive moment in your life.
It’s easy to think that burnt toast is just like other positive thinking methods such as lucky girl syndrome (综合征) or harmful positivity, which is a belief that you should have a positive outlook on life regardless of the situation. “I describe harmful positivity as throwing light at things that don’t shine. Harmful positivity is not actually all that helpful. some things are allowed to be upsetting and not everything needs to be positively reframed,” stresses Dr. Markley.
“The burnt toast theory isn’t encouraging you to be grateful for blackened toast. You can still be depressed that your toast is burnt, but it gives you an opportunity to reroute, reframe and overcome a small setback.”
32. How does the author explain “setbacks” in paragraph 1
A. By quoting an expert. B. By listing examples.
C. By giving a definition. D. By citing a theory.
33. What can we learn about the burnt toast theory
A. It was initiated by Dr. Markley. B. It is based on domino effects.
C. It helps distinguish false depression. D. It encourages redefining negativity.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss about the burnt toast theory
A. Its basic principle. B. Its unique feature.
C. Its current popularity. D. Its future development.
35. Which saying matches the idea of the burnt toast theory
A. Each dog has its day. B. still waters run deep.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Misfortune never comes single.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C

A Vegetable Garden Establishment Activity
Last Sunday, our school launched an activity to create a small vegetable garden, aiming to green the campus and enrich students’ lives. Teachers and students worked together; some turned over the soil, some sowed seeds of vegetables, and others watered them. At the same time, some students decorated the garden with hand-painted signs.
The activity was warmly received. Teachers saw it a rare chance to teach students knowledge in an innovative way. Students expressed excitement about gaining some hands-on experience, considering it a meaningful opportunity to learn about nature and teamwork. Everyone hoped that such activities could be held more often.

In the corner of our basement sits a shelf filled with old radios — wooden boxes with metal buttons and antennas (天线), whose colors faded with time. To most, they might seem like waste. But to my grandfather, they were treasure chests of stories.
My grandfather grew up in a small mountain village, where the only way to hear news of the outside world was through an old, noisy and unclear radio that he fixed by connecting wires under high heat. “I didn’t understand most of the words,” he used to laugh. “But the music spoke to me.” Fixing radios became more than a hobby — it was how he reached out to the world. He learned everything through repeated trials, until broken silence turned into sound again.
My mother never planned to keep this habit. As a teenager, she preferred tape players and music that she could carry with her. But when Grandpa passed away, she couldn’t throw away his tools or the radios he left. “They’re part of him,” she once said, gently turning a round metal button on one of the radios. Slowly, she began trying to fix a few of them, not as an expert, but with care and curiosity.
By the time I was ten, I had watched my mother spend many weekends surrounded by small parts and wires. “Come and try with me,” she said one Saturday. “Let’s see if we can fix this one together.” I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t even like machines. I enjoyed reading and drawing. But when she turned the button and a jazz tune started playing, I felt something touched me.
Soon, fixing radios became our weekly activity. She showed me how to look closely at every wire and tiny part, and how to be patient and listen carefully. “Sometimes the problem isn’t what you see,” she said. “It’s what you hear — or don’t hear.”
Unlike my mother, I fell in love with it quickly. I began collecting old radios from neighbors and even tried fixing ones that no longer worked. I didn’t just want to make them work — I wanted to bring back their sound.

One winter evening, a sudden power cut hit our village.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the power was restored, everyone thanked me for bringing them music.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
One winter evening, a sudden power cut hit our village. The whole village was swallowed by darkness, and the cold silence seemed to stretch endlessly. I quickly invited the neighbors over to my house. From a large box, I took out several radios I had repaired over the past few weeks — old sets they had once given me, broken and forgotten. I placed them on a wooden bench and began turning the metal buttons, adjusting the metal antennas one by one. Slowly, voices and music began to rise. People leaned in, eyes wide, smiles spreading across their anxious faces.
When the power was restored, everyone thanked me for bringing them music. However, I shook my head and said, “It wasn’t just me — it was Grandpa.” I began telling them how he had fixed his first radio before and how he passed that quiet love down to my mother. As I spoke, everyone listened carefully and nodded in agreement. That night, I understood something deeper: fixing radios wasn’t only about sound or skill — it was about connection. In moments of silence or trouble, these old radios carried more than news or music; they carried the stories of who we are. And as long as someone keeps tuning in, that story will continue.
