Lyudmil a Trut, the pioneering geneticist who led the groundbreaking experiment in domestication (驯化) using foxes, passed away on October 9, just shy of her 91st birthday. Over her 66-year career, she and her colleagues transformed a population of silver foxes on a farm in Novosibirsk, Russia, into a remarkable group of domesticated, lovely animals. This work, which began in 1958 under the guidance of geneticist Dmitri Belyaev, is now considered a landmark in understanding domestication.
Trut and Belyaev proposed that domestication syndrome (综合征) — a set of characteristics seen in domesticated animals, such as soft ears, curly tails, and friendly behavior — was linked to genes promoting calmness and friendliness toward humans. Through decades of careful selection, they demonstrated that by consistently choosing the calmest foxes to raise, these characteristics could be reproduced. This completely changed the understanding of how domestication may have occurred in dogs and other species.
Despite the political risks of conducting genetic research during the special period in the Soviet Union, Trut pressed forward. She spent decades selecting and keeping foxes that were peaceful and friendly, transforming a population of wild animals into affectionate (有感情的) companions. One special fox, Pushinka, even lived with Trut in the early 1970s, forminga deep bond that reflected the success of the experiment.
Even in difficult times, such as during the economic crisis following the fall of the Soviet Union, Trut worked tirelessly to keep the experiment alive. She sought donations by writing articles and persorrally asking for support to ensure the foxes were cared for and the research could continue.
Though Trut often credited her tutor Belyaev, she was the driving force behind the specific breeding procedures and daily management of the experiment, devoting more than 23,000 days to her work. Her heritage, and the heritage of the foxes she devoted her life to, lives on, as she hoped the foxes would continue to grow well after her passing.
24. What is the primary achievement of Lyudmila Trut
A. She discovered new fox species.
B. She pioneered a genetic research method.
C. She domesticated a group of foxes successfully.
D. She promoted the techniques in animal breeding.
25. How did Trut continue her research during tough times
A. By cooperating with global researchers.
B. By seeking donations and support.
C. By shifting focus to other animals.
D. By turning to her tutor Belyaev.
26. What best describes Lyudmila Trut
A. Calm and curious. B. Modest and cooperative.
C. Passionate and peaceful. D. Observant and persistent.
27. What is the best title of this passage
A. An Example for All Women
B. A Pioneer in Human-Animal Relationship
C. Lyudmila Trut: Turning Wild Foxes into Man’s Best Friend
D. Lyudmil a Trut: Achieving a Breakthrough in Genetic Research
C
Our brains are born to look for threats, to make a plan to address those threats and keep us safe. Those perceived threats may be based on the “what ifs” we imagine could happen in the future. Actually, our “what ifs” can bring up a lot of negative emotion, which means we can easily get stuck on thoughts and keep going over them.
People who have had prior challenges or experienced setback may have come to expect threats and look for them more than people who have not had adversities. Deep thinkers, people who are prone (易于的) to anxiety or low mood, and those who are sensitive or feel emotions deeply are also more likely to ruminate and overthink. Also, when we are stressed, our emotions tend to be stronger and last longer, and our thoughts can be less accurate, which means we can get stuck on thoughts more than we would usually.
Your thoughts are not necessarily true or accurate, but when we overthink and have them on repeat, they can start to feel true because they become familiar. A useful way to manage rumination or overthinking is “change, accept, and let go”. Specifically, challenge and change aspects of your thoughts where you can. Coming up with a more realistic thought can help stop the circle of the unhelpful thought.
Furthermore, we’d better figure out how we feel about something and address those feelings. Rather than refuse them, accepting your emotions and finding ways to manage those will be helpful. You can even make a plan for dealing with future possibilities your thoughts are raising. However, it is difficult to plan for all eventualities (可能的事). What you can do is to make a plan for one or two of the more likely possibilities and accept there may be things that happen you haven’t thought of. After all, life unavoidably involves a lack of complete control over outcomes and possibilities.
So, the last part is letting go of the need to know exactly how things will turn out, and believing in your ability to cope with different situations.
28. What’s the main function of the first paragraph
A. To give an example. B. To make a definition.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To describe a phenomenon.
29. Which best explains the underlined word “adversities” in paragraph 2
A. Advantages. B. Opportunities.
C. Qualities. D. Barriers.
30. What kind of people get stuck on thoughts easily
A. People under pressure.
B. People likely to succeed.
C. People with a realistic thought.
D. People barely experiencing challenges.
31. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. How to plan for future.
B. How to accept emotions.
C. How to address your feelings.
D. How to deal with future possibilities.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。
New Study: This Polite Phrase May Soon Be a Thing of the Past
It turns out that saying “please” isn’t as common — or polite — as you think. New research published in Social Psychology Quarterly found that people use the word “please” when making a request adismal (凄凉的) 7% of the time. Even more interesting: ____32____ “We definitely were surprised by the results,” says Tanya Stivers, a professor of sociology at UCLA. Not only do people use “please” less than 10% of the time when making requests, but they also tend to use it most when they expect a “no” response is happening soon.
____33____
The study found that more often than not, this polite habit is being used inpushy (死缠硬磨的) situations. ____34____ Here’s what the study found: when asking someone to stop doing what they’re doing and do what the asker wants instead, such as interrupting a colleague at work to ask for help with your project or your child asking for more candy after you’ve already said no.
Can saying “please” still be polite
____35____ “If someone is trying to be more polite, I would recommend adding other polite phrases first, before adding in more ‘pleases’” Stiver says. “Example of polite requests that don’t use “please”: Would you be available Mind giving me a quick hand with this
Bottom line: Not saying “please” doesn’t mean that you’re being impolite. ____36____ The most important part of having good behaviour is treating the other person with kindness and respect, both in word and deed.
A. Saying “please” is rare.
B. Is saying “please” actually rude
C. Technically, yes, as long as you don’t overuse it.
D. And saying “please” doesn’t ensure that you are being polite.
E. The survey was about the same across age, gender and social status.
F. So when are people most likely to use “please” in request-making situations
G. The study investigated when and where people use “please” in everyday requests.

Life is full of ups and downs. You must understand that you will sometimes fail at things and it is okay when that ____37____. We have been taught that ____38____ is really bad, and when we fail, we must drown ourselves in a(n) ____39____ mood and feel hopeless. This is an entirely wrong approach.
You will fail at many things in life but that will only ____40____ you about yourself. You will get to learn about your true ____41____, the things you are good at, and the things that you are bad at. We must learn to ____42____ the process rather than run from it; only then will we be able to achieve our goals in life.
Let me tell you my early ____43____ experience and how I faced failures in it. I had trouble with some ____44____. Sometimes I would get an F, which would make me really scared. What I used to do was covering those ____45____ and turned the F into a B just to ____46____ my parents, but in reality it didn’t ____47____. I learned a lot after that, I knew that I had to ____48____ that failure and learn from it, and something good actually came from it. I started doing better with my grades, that F turned into a B ____49____.
Whenever you face a failure, never think that you won’t ____50____ from this, you must think of ways to ____51____ yourself. Failure is the mother of success, so we must learn from our failures, not run from them!

Only Love Lasts Forever
Yesterday, after telling my brother, Rhys, and me to stop playing like wild animals in the house for what she said was the thousandth time, Mom went to take a bath. That’s when it happened. We were playing around, fighting each other with pillows, when one slipped from my brother’s grasp and smashed the glass vase on the coffee table, breaking it into pieces!
With her sharp hearing, my mom heard the tremendous crash and then the sound of glass hitting the floor. Wasting no time, she came flying into the room to find out what had happened. I was sure my brother and I were dead meat (死定了) and she was going to start shouting at us, but instead she just knelt by the pieces and began to cry.
This made Rhys and me feel pretty awful. We went over and put our arms around her, and she explained to us why she was so upset. Under the broken glass vase was a white porcelain rose. Dad had given it to her on their first wedding anniversary. It was like their love - it would last a lifetime.
Now it lay chipped (缺口) on the floor, one petal (花瓣) gone. We began crying, too, and offered to glue it for her. She said that wouldn’t really fix it. Now that it had been broken, the value of the “limited edition” had lessened. We got our piggy banks out to pay for it, but Mom replied that to her the rose represented Dad’s love and could never truly be restored.
As Mom slowly began to pick up the mess, we tried everything we could think of to cheer her up, but even our best funny faces didn’t work. Mom just looked elsewhere. The tears kept coming down her cheeks as we joined in cleaning up the mess. Finally, everything was picked up.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We decided to fix our mistake, and then an idea occurred.

Mom’s eyes falling on the flowers and the card, her face lit up.

【原文】Pumpkin carving at Halloween is a family tradition. When I was a teenager, my family visited a local farm every October. There we could pick pumpkins, and the one who brought the biggest one to our car was the winner. Since I was the eldest child, I had an advantage. in 2019 when I was sixteen, It was hard to tell whether mine or my fourteen year old brother Jason’s was the winner. Unfortunately, we forgot to weigh them before emptying them. With the empty pumpkin resting on the table, I decided to put my head into it to prove it was the biggest. With efforts, I succeeded in doing that, however, the pumpkin was heavy and I decided to pull my head out. Sadly, I was unable to do that. Jason tried to help but it didn’t work. I was scared and started to cry. It was dad who responded to my cries for help but I was kept waiting for a while. First, he had to look for the video camera.

Lyudmil a Trut, the pioneering geneticist who led the groundbreaking experiment in domestication (驯化) using foxes, passed away on October 9, just shy of her 91st birthday. Over her 66-year career, she and her colleagues transformed a population of silver foxes on a farm in Novosibirsk, Russia, into a remarkable group of domesticated, lovely animals. This work, which began in 1958 under the guidance of geneticist Dmitri Belyaev, is now considered a landmark in understanding domestication.
Trut and Belyaev proposed that domestication syndrome (综合征) — a set of characteristics seen in domesticated animals, such as soft ears, curly tails, and friendly behavior — was linked to genes promoting calmness and friendliness toward humans. Through decades of careful selection, they demonstrated that by consistently choosing the calmest foxes to raise, these characteristics could be reproduced. This completely changed the understanding of how domestication may have occurred in dogs and other species.
Despite the political risks of conducting genetic research during the special period in the Soviet Union, Trut pressed forward. She spent decades selecting and keeping foxes that were peaceful and friendly, transforming a population of wild animals into affectionate (有感情的) companions. One special fox, Pushinka, even lived with Trut in the early 1970s, forminga deep bond that reflected the success of the experiment.
Even in difficult times, such as during the economic crisis following the fall of the Soviet Union, Trut worked tirelessly to keep the experiment alive. She sought donations by writing articles and persorrally asking for support to ensure the foxes were cared for and the research could continue.
Though Trut often credited her tutor Belyaev, she was the driving force behind the specific breeding procedures and daily management of the experiment, devoting more than 23,000 days to her work. Her heritage, and the heritage of the foxes she devoted her life to, lives on, as she hoped the foxes would continue to grow well after her passing.
24. What is the primary achievement of Lyudmila Trut
A. She discovered new fox species.
B. She pioneered a genetic research method.
C. She domesticated a group of foxes successfully.
D. She promoted the techniques in animal breeding.
25. How did Trut continue her research during tough times
A. By cooperating with global researchers.
B. By seeking donations and support.
C. By shifting focus to other animals.
D. By turning to her tutor Belyaev.
26. What best describes Lyudmila Trut
A. Calm and curious. B. Modest and cooperative.
C. Passionate and peaceful. D. Observant and persistent.
27. What is the best title of this passage
A. An Example for All Women
B. A Pioneer in Human-Animal Relationship
C. Lyudmila Trut: Turning Wild Foxes into Man’s Best Friend
D. Lyudmil a Trut: Achieving a Breakthrough in Genetic Research
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C
C
Our brains are born to look for threats, to make a plan to address those threats and keep us safe. Those perceived threats may be based on the “what ifs” we imagine could happen in the future. Actually, our “what ifs” can bring up a lot of negative emotion, which means we can easily get stuck on thoughts and keep going over them.
People who have had prior challenges or experienced setback may have come to expect threats and look for them more than people who have not had adversities. Deep thinkers, people who are prone (易于的) to anxiety or low mood, and those who are sensitive or feel emotions deeply are also more likely to ruminate and overthink. Also, when we are stressed, our emotions tend to be stronger and last longer, and our thoughts can be less accurate, which means we can get stuck on thoughts more than we would usually.
Your thoughts are not necessarily true or accurate, but when we overthink and have them on repeat, they can start to feel true because they become familiar. A useful way to manage rumination or overthinking is “change, accept, and let go”. Specifically, challenge and change aspects of your thoughts where you can. Coming up with a more realistic thought can help stop the circle of the unhelpful thought.
Furthermore, we’d better figure out how we feel about something and address those feelings. Rather than refuse them, accepting your emotions and finding ways to manage those will be helpful. You can even make a plan for dealing with future possibilities your thoughts are raising. However, it is difficult to plan for all eventualities (可能的事). What you can do is to make a plan for one or two of the more likely possibilities and accept there may be things that happen you haven’t thought of. After all, life unavoidably involves a lack of complete control over outcomes and possibilities.
So, the last part is letting go of the need to know exactly how things will turn out, and believing in your ability to cope with different situations.
28. What’s the main function of the first paragraph
A. To give an example. B. To make a definition.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To describe a phenomenon.
29. Which best explains the underlined word “adversities” in paragraph 2
A. Advantages. B. Opportunities.
C. Qualities. D. Barriers.
30. What kind of people get stuck on thoughts easily
A. People under pressure.
B. People likely to succeed.
C. People with a realistic thought.
D. People barely experiencing challenges.
31. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. How to plan for future.
B. How to accept emotions.
C. How to address your feelings.
D. How to deal with future possibilities.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B

New Study: This Polite Phrase May Soon Be a Thing of the Past
It turns out that saying “please” isn’t as common — or polite — as you think. New research published in Social Psychology Quarterly found that people use the word “please” when making a request adismal (凄凉的) 7% of the time. Even more interesting: ____32____ “We definitely were surprised by the results,” says Tanya Stivers, a professor of sociology at UCLA. Not only do people use “please” less than 10% of the time when making requests, but they also tend to use it most when they expect a “no” response is happening soon.
____33____
The study found that more often than not, this polite habit is being used inpushy (死缠硬磨的) situations. ____34____ Here’s what the study found: when asking someone to stop doing what they’re doing and do what the asker wants instead, such as interrupting a colleague at work to ask for help with your project or your child asking for more candy after you’ve already said no.
Can saying “please” still be polite
____35____ “If someone is trying to be more polite, I would recommend adding other polite phrases first, before adding in more ‘pleases’” Stiver says. “Example of polite requests that don’t use “please”: Would you be available Mind giving me a quick hand with this
Bottom line: Not saying “please” doesn’t mean that you’re being impolite. ____36____ The most important part of having good behaviour is treating the other person with kindness and respect, both in word and deed.
A. Saying “please” is rare.
B. Is saying “please” actually rude
C. Technically, yes, as long as you don’t overuse it.
D. And saying “please” doesn’t ensure that you are being polite.
E. The survey was about the same across age, gender and social status.
F. So when are people most likely to use “please” in request-making situations
G. The study investigated when and where people use “please” in everyday requests.

68. 阅读下面材料，根据内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Only Love Lasts Forever
Yesterday, after telling my brother, Rhys, and me to stop playing like wild animals in the house for what she said was the thousandth time, Mom went to take a bath. That’s when it happened. We were playing around, fighting each other with pillows, when one slipped from my brother’s grasp and smashed the glass vase on the coffee table, breaking it into pieces!
With her sharp hearing, my mom heard the tremendous crash and then the sound of glass hitting the floor. Wasting no time, she came flying into the room to find out what had happened. I was sure my brother and I were dead meat (死定了) and she was going to start shouting at us, but instead she just knelt by the pieces and began to cry.
This made Rhys and me feel pretty awful. We went over and put our arms around her, and she explained to us why she was so upset. Under the broken glass vase was a white porcelain rose. Dad had given it to her on their first wedding anniversary. It was like their love - it would last a lifetime.
Now it lay chipped (缺口) on the floor, one petal (花瓣) gone. We began crying, too, and offered to glue it for her. She said that wouldn’t really fix it. Now that it had been broken, the value of the “limited edition” had lessened. We got our piggy banks out to pay for it, but Mom replied that to her the rose represented Dad’s love and could never truly be restored.
As Mom slowly began to pick up the mess, we tried everything we could think of to cheer her up, but even our best funny faces didn’t work. Mom just looked elsewhere. The tears kept coming down her cheeks as we joined in cleaning up the mess. Finally, everything was picked up.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We decided to fix our mistake, and then an idea occurred.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom’s eyes falling on the flowers and the card, her face lit up.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We decided to fix our mistake, and then an idea occurred. Rhys and I quietly slipped into the kitchen and found a piece of white paper and some colored pencils. We drew a beautiful rose, carefully coloring each petal to match the glass one. On the card, we wrote, “To Mom, our love for you will last forever, just like Dad’s.” We also picked some fresh flowers from the garden and arranged them in a small jar. With our handmade card and the flowers, we tiptoed back to the living room, where Mom was still sitting quietly, staring at the broken pieces of the vase.
Mom’s eyes falling on the flowers and the card, her face lit up. She picked up the card and read it slowly, her tears now replaced by a soft smile. She pulled us both into a tight hug and whispered, “Thank you, my loves. This means more to me than anything.” Rhys and I exchanged a relieved glance, knowing we had done something special. Though the porcelain rose was broken, we realized that love, whether from Dad or from us, could never truly be shattered. It was a lesson we would carry with us forever.
