A
The news cycle is driving us to the edge of madness, so why not switch off, unplug and pick up a book We know you could use a laugh right now — and luckily, several thousands of you told us all about the books, stories and poems that make you laugh.
We took your votes and with the help of our panel(专家小组) of expert judges we created this list of 100 reads designed to make you laugh out loud. Want slice-of-life essays Loopy poetry Texts from famous literary figures Scroll down — we’ve got it all.
As with all our reader polls, this is a curated(精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you’ll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from one to 100.
And, as always, there are a few things that didn’t make the list — surprisingly, Shakespeare didn’t get enough votes to make it to the semifinals. Then there were books that didn’t quite stand the test of time, or were so new we couldn’t tell whether they’d stand up.
Some of the authors on this list are incredibly popular, and you voted them in over and over again. Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect.
And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don’t let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby’s We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay.
Laughter is the best medicine. Just click here and start reading!
21. How is the list of this year different from that of last year
A. More books are included. B. It is made all by readers.
C. It mainly focuses on poetry. D. The listed books are classified.
22. What can we learn about Nora Ephron
A. She fails to stand the test of time.
B. She is not so popular as other authors.
C. She gets more than one spot on the list.
D. She belongs to the panel of expert judges.
23. Why is We Are Never Meeting In Real Life kept on the list
A. It is written by a judge. B. It reflects real life.
C. It gets enough readers’ votes. D. It attracts the experts.
B
In my second year of teaching art at a rural high school, I encountered a reserved student named Lily, who consistently occupied the back corner of the classroom. While her peers enthusiastically presented bold and vibrant compositions, Lily’s work stood apart — delicate pencil sketches picturing fallen leaves, weathered benches, and occasionally, a solitary bird perched on a wire. She deliberately avoided bright colors, restricting her palette exclusively to shades of gray.
One day, I assigned the class to create a piece symbolizing “home”. Most students produced paintings of houses with smoking chimneys or families holding hands. Lily, however, submitted a drawing of a single key — aged and rusted, with a subtle gleam on its teeth. The image was strikingly simple, yet it conveyed a profound depth. After class, she quietly explained, “That’s the key to my grandmother’s former home. We had to abandon it when we moved here. I suppose home, for me, is less about a physical space and more about a memory.”
That conversation marked a turning point in my perspective as an educator. I began to perceive the narratives embedded in Lily’s simplicity — the significance of patience, the elegance in details. For the final project, I encouraged students to express a personal story in any medium they preferred. Lily produced a series of sketches titled “The Unseen Beauty”, focusing on commonly neglected details around the schoolyard — a crack in the wall fostering a tiny plant, complicated patterns of shadows beneath the ancient oak tree during lunch breaks.
When the semester concluded, Lily left me a note: “Thank you for perceiving the world within my grayscale.” That summer, I introduced a new module in my curriculum — “The Beauty of Minimalism”. I had assumed the role of teacher was to enhance, yet Lily revealed to me that is not always about enhancement; at times, the most resonant beauty consists in what we leave out.
24. What makes Lily’s artwork different from others’ at the beginning
A. Her use of bright colors and bold shapes.
B. Her focus on delicate sketches in shades of gray.
C. Her preference for painting houses and families.
D. Her interest in drawing birds and natural scenes.
25. Why did Lily draw an old key for the “home” assignment
A. Because she wanted to keep the old key.
B. Because the key was easy to draw.
C. Because her Grandma had told her to do so.
D. Because the key represented home memories.
26. Which of the following matches the subject of Lily’s sketches
A. A tiny plant growing in a crack.
B. Houses with smoking chimneys.
C. Bold and vibrant compositions.
D. Families holding hands.
27. What did the author learn from Lily
A. Art needs strict skill guidance.
B. Teachers should focus on talented students.
C. Sometimes less is more.
D. Family stories inspire art.
C
Oceanic manta rays(蝠鲼) — the largest species of ray — may dive more than 1,200 metres deep to navigate the ocean, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.
Scientists tagged(给……加标签) 24 mantas in Raja Ampat, Indonesia; the Tumbes, Peru; and near Whangaroa, New Zealand, and then reviewed the data. They noticed that the rays were more likely to dive extremely deep off the coast of New Zealand: of the 2,705 tag-days of data collected, mantas dived to more than 500 metres on 79 days — 71 of these dives were around New Zealand.
“Far offshore, oceanic manta rays are capable of diving to depths greater than 1,200 metres, far deeper than previously thought,” says Calvin Beale from Murdoch University in Perth, Australia, one of the study authors.
The rays’ diving patterns offered a clue to the behaviour. The rays in New Zealand typically did a huge dive the day after entering deeper waters off the continental shelf. They swam sharply down but didn’t spend time at these depths, suggesting they weren’t feeding or avoiding predators. After returning to the surface, some swam more than 190km in the following days.
One reason to dip so far below the surface could be that the mantas are picking up signals about where they are, such as changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, or in oxygen, temperature and light levels.
“These dives, which are linked with increased horizontal travel, may play an important role in helping mantas gather information about their environment,” says Beale. “By diving and ‘sampling’ these signals, they could build a mental map that helps them navigate across vast, featureless stretches of open ocean.” In deeper waters, these clues can be more stable and predictable than at the surface, the scientists say.
More research is needed, but the study “reminds us that the deep ocean — which regulates Earth’s climate — remains poorly understood but vitally important,” says Beale.
28. How did the scientists conduct the research
A. They did field research.
B. They did experimental research.
C. They analysed data obtained first-hand.
D. They re-examined findings in previous researches.
29. What can be inferred from the rays’ dives
A. They dive into the deep sea to avoid predators.
B. It’s easier for them to hunt for food in the deep sea.
C. Diving in the deep sea helps them signal to peers better.
D. The environment-related information collected helps them navigate.
30. Which of the following can describe the study according to Beale
A. Fully explored but rarely valued. B. Carefully studied but barely functional.
C. Under-researched but critically essential. D. Well-understood and extremely significant.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage
A. To present a new study’s findings on manta rays’ deep dives.
B. To highlight the importance of further research on manta rays.
C. To explain how manta rays build mental maps for long-distance travel.
D. To compare the diving patterns of manta rays in different marine regions.
D
Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite(无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative(衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
32. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
33. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
34. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that people use to communicate. 36 They can impact how people judge you in the workplace. Becoming aware of the body language you use when communicating can help you ensure your message is being delivered effectively. Here are some steps you can take to improve your body language.
Make eye contact
It’s important to make eye contact with the person you’re speaking to. 37 A simple strategy to ensure you’re maintaining the right amount of eye contact is to look into the person’s eyes long enough to take note of their eye color before looking away. This strategy ensures you make proper eye contact for a length of time that’s natural and comfortable to both parties.
Relax your shoulders
One step you can take to improve your body language is to relax your shoulders, allowing them to drop to a comfortable height. Shoulders that are too high can make you look nervous. 38 Be aware of where they are currently sitting and allow them to drop to a natural position.
Nod from time to time
Nodding is a good way to show the person you’re speaking with that you’re listening and engaged in what they’re saying. 39 Also, it makes them know that you agree with or are interested in the message they’re sharing, which can help to increase their confidence.
Smile from the bottom of your heart
Smile when you’re first introduced to someone and throughout the conversation, when appropriate. Be aware of your facial expressions throughout the course of the conversation, as an expressionless face can often appear as an angry expression. 40
A. A sincere smile can brighten up the darkest day.
B. However, it’s important to avoid making too much.
C. Body language can be confusing in different cultures.
D. They include things like gestures, tone of voice, and eye contact.
E. It’s a good way to encourage them to continue what they’re saying.
F. Similarly, ones that are too low can give the impression that you’re sad.
G. Turning up the corners of your mouth slightly can give you a calm and pleasant look.

I majored in Mechanical Engineering in college and what I experienced during the job-hunting season in my final year changed my life completely.

When I reviewed my interview honestly, I saw the 49 : I had knowledge gaps and communication weaknesses. So I 50 them. In the next interview, with better 51 and real self-awareness, I performed far better and 52 a position in a company even better than the one I had originally dreamed of.
They say failure is a harsh (苛刻的) but far more 53 teacher than success. That season, I graduated not just as an engineer, but as a student of life, learning that when you 54 blaming the world and start owning your failures, you 55 the power to build a better version of yourself.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was a 22-year-old medical student from Sri Lanka, studying in a quiet university town in Russia. For as long as I could remember, becoming a doctor had been my greatest aspiration — one that had driven me to leave my family and home behind, to brave the harsh Russian winters and endless hours of tiring study. I had always believed that with hard work, I could heal the sick and make my parents proud.
But my financial situation took a sudden turn for the worse when my family back in Sri Lanka could no longer send me money. With no savings left and bills piling up, I had no choice but to pack my bags and return home, abandoning the dream I’d fought so hard for.
On the morning of my departure, I dragged my heavy suitcase to the bus stop, my steps slow and heavy. The bus to Moscow was crowded and endless traffic jammed the roads for hours. By the time I finally reached the city center, I could barely breathe from worry — I was already running late for my flight. I grabbed my suitcase and rushed toward the underground station, my breath coming in short gasps(喘气) as I weaved through the bustling crowds.
When I finally made it to the airport, my heart sank. The flight gate was shut tight. I approached the counter, my voice trembling as I begged the staff for help. “You can take the standby flight 3 hours later, Miss,” the staff lady said, “but you have to pay an extra one hundred dollars for the rebooking fee.”
I had used up all my savings on the journey to Moscow and had no financial support from home; I didn’t have that money. For me, it was an impossible amount. I wanted to be strong, to hold back my tears, but I couldn’t. I broke down and cried uncontrollably right there in front of the counter, my shoulders shaking as I thought of my wasted efforts and the uncertain future waiting for me. People began to gather around me. Suddenly, I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；

Through my tears, I noticed a hesitant old man watching me.

【答案】18. C 19. C 20. B
【原文】
English serves as a way for people from different countries and cultures to communicate on the same level. This is especially important in certain professions.
Firstly, take air traffic for example. When pilots and air traffic controllers communicate, they need to be clear. Since English is the standard language used, it prevents misunderstandings and promotes safety.
Secondly, in the business world, English is equally important. Many international companies operate in English, and professionals working in global markets often need to speak and write in English. Effective communication in English can open doors to opportunities across borders.
Last but not least, in science, English is the main language for research publications and conferences. Researchers publish their work in English to reach a global audience and contribute to international knowledge.
In summary, English is not just a language but a tool that bridges communication gaps in various professions. Mastering English can offer advantages in both your career and personal growth.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The news cycle is driving us to the edge of madness, so why not switch off, unplug and pick up a book We know you could use a laugh right now — and luckily, several thousands of you told us all about the books, stories and poems that make you laugh.
We took your votes and with the help of our panel(专家小组) of expert judges we created this list of 100 reads designed to make you laugh out loud. Want slice-of-life essays Loopy poetry Texts from famous literary figures Scroll down — we’ve got it all.
As with all our reader polls, this is a curated(精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you’ll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from one to 100.
And, as always, there are a few things that didn’t make the list — surprisingly, Shakespeare didn’t get enough votes to make it to the semifinals. Then there were books that didn’t quite stand the test of time, or were so new we couldn’t tell whether they’d stand up.
Some of the authors on this list are incredibly popular, and you voted them in over and over again. Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect.
And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don’t let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby’s We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay.
Laughter is the best medicine. Just click here and start reading!

In my second year of teaching art at a rural high school, I encountered a reserved student named Lily, who consistently occupied the back corner of the classroom. While her peers enthusiastically presented bold and vibrant compositions, Lily’s work stood apart — delicate pencil sketches picturing fallen leaves, weathered benches, and occasionally, a solitary bird perched on a wire. She deliberately avoided bright colors, restricting her palette exclusively to shades of gray.
One day, I assigned the class to create a piece symbolizing “home”. Most students produced paintings of houses with smoking chimneys or families holding hands. Lily, however, submitted a drawing of a single key — aged and rusted, with a subtle gleam on its teeth. The image was strikingly simple, yet it conveyed a profound depth. After class, she quietly explained, “That’s the key to my grandmother’s former home. We had to abandon it when we moved here. I suppose home, for me, is less about a physical space and more about a memory.”
That conversation marked a turning point in my perspective as an educator. I began to perceive the narratives embedded in Lily’s simplicity — the significance of patience, the elegance in details. For the final project, I encouraged students to express a personal story in any medium they preferred. Lily produced a series of sketches titled “The Unseen Beauty”, focusing on commonly neglected details around the schoolyard — a crack in the wall fostering a tiny plant, complicated patterns of shadows beneath the ancient oak tree during lunch breaks.
When the semester concluded, Lily left me a note: “Thank you for perceiving the world within my grayscale.” That summer, I introduced a new module in my curriculum — “The Beauty of Minimalism”. I had assumed the role of teacher was to enhance, yet Lily revealed to me that is not always about enhancement; at times, the most resonant beauty consists in what we leave out.
24. What makes Lily’s artwork different from others’ at the beginning
A. Her use of bright colors and bold shapes.
B. Her focus on delicate sketches in shades of gray.
C. Her preference for painting houses and families.
D. Her interest in drawing birds and natural scenes.
25. Why did Lily draw an old key for the “home” assignment
A. Because she wanted to keep the old key.
B. Because the key was easy to draw.
C. Because her Grandma had told her to do so.
D. Because the key represented home memories.
26. Which of the following matches the subject of Lily’s sketches
A. A tiny plant growing in a crack.
B. Houses with smoking chimneys.
C. Bold and vibrant compositions.
D. Families holding hands.
27. What did the author learn from Lily
A. Art needs strict skill guidance.
B. Teachers should focus on talented students.
C. Sometimes less is more.
D. Family stories inspire art.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了乡村美术教师从内向学生莉莉的极简主义作品中，领悟到教学与审美新内涵的故事。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“While her peers enthusiastically presented bold and vibrant compositions, Lily’s work stood apart — delicate pencil sketches picturing fallen leaves, weathered benches, and occasionally, a solitary bird perched on a wire. She deliberately avoided bright colors, restricting her palette exclusively to shades of gray.(当同学们热情地展示大胆鲜明的作品时，莉莉的作品却与众不同——细腻的铅笔画描绘着落叶、老旧的长椅，偶尔还有一只孤鸟停在电线上。她刻意避开鲜艳的色彩，调色板里只有深浅不一的灰色)”可知，莉莉的作品与他人不同的地方在于她专注于用灰色调创作细腻的铅笔画。故选B项。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“That’s the key to my grandmother’s former home. We had to abandon it when we moved here. I suppose home, for me, is less about a physical space and more about a memory.(那是我奶奶老家的钥匙。我们搬到这里时不得不舍弃了那栋房子。我想，对我来说，家与其说是一个实体空间，不如说是一段回忆)”可知，莉莉为“家”的作业画一把旧钥匙，因为这把钥匙承载着关于家的回忆，代表着她心中的家。故选D项。
26. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Lily produced a series of sketches titled “The Unseen Beauty”, focusing on commonly neglected details around the schoolyard — a crack in the wall fostering a tiny plant, complicated patterns of shadows beneath the ancient oak tree during lunch breaks.(莉莉创作了一系列名为《被忽视的美》的素描，聚焦于校园里那些常被忽略的细节——墙缝里生长的一株小苗、午休时老橡树下繁复的光影纹路)”可知，墙缝里生长的小苗是莉莉素描的主题之一。故选A项。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “That summer, I introduced a new module in my curriculum — “The Beauty of Minimalism”. I had assumed the role of teacher was to enhance, yet Lily revealed to me that is not always about enhancement; at times, the most resonant beauty consists in what we leave out.(那个夏天，我在课程中引入了一个新模块——“极简主义之美”。我原本以为教师的职责是增添内容，但莉莉向我表明，并非总是如此；有时，最能引起共鸣的美在于我们所省略的部分)”可推知，作者从莉莉身上学到有时少即是多，简约也能体现美。故选C项。
C
Oceanic manta rays(蝠鲼) — the largest species of ray — may dive more than 1,200 metres deep to navigate the ocean, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.
Scientists tagged(给……加标签) 24 mantas in Raja Ampat, Indonesia; the Tumbes, Peru; and near Whangaroa, New Zealand, and then reviewed the data. They noticed that the rays were more likely to dive extremely deep off the coast of New Zealand: of the 2,705 tag-days of data collected, mantas dived to more than 500 metres on 79 days — 71 of these dives were around New Zealand.
“Far offshore, oceanic manta rays are capable of diving to depths greater than 1,200 metres, far deeper than previously thought,” says Calvin Beale from Murdoch University in Perth, Australia, one of the study authors.
The rays’ diving patterns offered a clue to the behaviour. The rays in New Zealand typically did a huge dive the day after entering deeper waters off the continental shelf. They swam sharply down but didn’t spend time at these depths, suggesting they weren’t feeding or avoiding predators. After returning to the surface, some swam more than 190km in the following days.
One reason to dip so far below the surface could be that the mantas are picking up signals about where they are, such as changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, or in oxygen, temperature and light levels.
“These dives, which are linked with increased horizontal travel, may play an important role in helping mantas gather information about their environment,” says Beale. “By diving and ‘sampling’ these signals, they could build a mental map that helps them navigate across vast, featureless stretches of open ocean.” In deeper waters, these clues can be more stable and predictable than at the surface, the scientists say.
More research is needed, but the study “reminds us that the deep ocean — which regulates Earth’s climate — remains poorly understood but vitally important,” says Beale.
28. How did the scientists conduct the research
A. They did field research.
B. They did experimental research.
C. They analysed data obtained first-hand.
D. They re-examined findings in previous researches.
29. What can be inferred from the rays’ dives
A. They dive into the deep sea to avoid predators.
B. It’s easier for them to hunt for food in the deep sea.
C. Diving in the deep sea helps them signal to peers better.
D. The environment-related information collected helps them navigate.
30. Which of the following can describe the study according to Beale
A. Fully explored but rarely valued. B. Carefully studied but barely functional.
C. Under-researched but critically essential. D. Well-understood and extremely significant.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage
A. To present a new study’s findings on manta rays’ deep dives.
B. To highlight the importance of further research on manta rays.
C. To explain how manta rays build mental maps for long-distance travel.
D. To compare the diving patterns of manta rays in different marine regions.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《海洋科学前沿》杂志上的一项新研究，海洋蝠鲼可能会潜至超过1200米的深海来探索海洋，科学家们可以通过他们来更多地了解海洋和地球。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Scientists tagged(给……加标签) 24 mantas in Raja Ampat, Indonesia; the Tumbes, Peru; and near Whangaroa, New Zealand, and then reviewed the data. (科学家在印度尼西亚的拉贾安帕特、秘鲁的图姆贝斯以及新西兰的旺加罗亚附近对24只蝠鲼进行了标记，并对收集到的数据进行了分析)”可知，科学家们对直接获取的数据进行了分析。故选C项。
29. 推理判断题。根据第五段“One reason to dip so far below the surface could be that the mantas are picking up signals about where they are, such as changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, or in oxygen, temperature and light levels.(潜水如此之深的原因之一可能是，蝠鲼能够接收有关自身所在位置的信号，比如地球磁场的变化、氧气、温度和光照水平的变化)”及第六段“These dives, which are linked with increased horizontal travel, may play an important role in helping mantas gather information about their environment(这些与水平移动增加相关的潜水行为，可能在帮助蝠鲼获取有关其环境的信息方面发挥着重要作用)”可知，所收集的与环境相关的信息有助于他们确定自己的位置。故选D项。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“More research is needed, but the study “reminds us that the deep ocean — which regulates Earth’s climate — remains poorly understood but vitally important,”says Beale. (还需要进行更多的研究，但这项研究“提醒我们，深海——它调节着地球的气候——仍然知之甚少，但却至关重要”贝勒说道)”可知，科学家认为这项研究还不够，有待深入研究，却是至关重要的。故选C项。
31. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Oceanic manta rays(蝠鲼) — the largest species of ray — may dive more than 1,200 metres deep to navigate the ocean, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.(根据发表在《海洋科学前沿》杂志上的一项新研究，海洋蝠鲼可能会潜至超过1200米的深海来探索海洋)”可知，本文的写作目的是公布一项科学研究成果。故选A项。
D
Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite(无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative(衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
32. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
33. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
34. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. A
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过对比数字写作助手和字典指出，在数字写作普及的当下，字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用，最后点明我们比以往更需要字典。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view.(词典让我们写作时并非依靠万无一失的便捷，而是能够展现独特性和观点)”可知，字典能帮助我们写出有原创性的内容。故选C。
33. 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“a practice that dictionaries facilitate(字典促进这种做法)”和“while”表示的对比关系可知，stifle和facilitate含义相反，即“抑制、阻碍”，选项中discourage“阻拦、使气馁”意思一致。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。第四段开头“Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language.(我们表达自我的能力至关重要——它帮助我们定义自己是谁。词典有助于我们实现这一目标：它们通过语言将我们独特的思维方式进行分类)”点明观点：表达自我的能力帮助我们定义自身身份，字典能帮我们保留独有的语言表达。下文“I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.(我是加拿大人；我对祖国的自豪感因一些小小的加拿大式词汇而得到增强，比如“檐沟”或“餐巾纸”，这些词汇在词典中有详细记载，但在大多数情况下，人工智能聊天机器人很少使用它们)”作者举这两个加拿大特有的词汇，是为了说明：这类特有语言能增强本土身份认同感，即语言使用会影响个人/群体身份。故选D。
35. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段“As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.(随着数字写作深入我们的生活和思维，我们对词典的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。放弃词典而转向机械化写作，将同等程度地削弱我们建立集体认同的能力和表达自我的能力)”可知，全文对比数字写作助手和字典，层层论述：在数字写作普及的当下，字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用，结尾点明我们比以往更需要字典。由此可知，A项“为什么要保留字典？”适合作本文标题。故选A。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that people use to communicate. 36 They can impact how people judge you in the workplace. Becoming aware of the body language you use when communicating can help you ensure your message is being delivered effectively. Here are some steps you can take to improve your body language.
Make eye contact
It’s important to make eye contact with the person you’re speaking to. 37 A simple strategy to ensure you’re maintaining the right amount of eye contact is to look into the person’s eyes long enough to take note of their eye color before looking away. This strategy ensures you make proper eye contact for a length of time that’s natural and comfortable to both parties.
Relax your shoulders
One step you can take to improve your body language is to relax your shoulders, allowing them to drop to a comfortable height. Shoulders that are too high can make you look nervous. 38 Be aware of where they are currently sitting and allow them to drop to a natural position.
Nod from time to time
Nodding is a good way to show the person you’re speaking with that you’re listening and engaged in what they’re saying. 39 Also, it makes them know that you agree with or are interested in the message they’re sharing, which can help to increase their confidence.
Smile from the bottom of your heart
Smile when you’re first introduced to someone and throughout the conversation, when appropriate. Be aware of your facial expressions throughout the course of the conversation, as an expressionless face can often appear as an angry expression. 40
A. A sincere smile can brighten up the darkest day.
B. However, it’s important to avoid making too much.
C. Body language can be confusing in different cultures.
D. They include things like gestures, tone of voice, and eye contact.
E. It’s a good way to encourage them to continue what they’re saying.
F. Similarly, ones that are too low can give the impression that you’re sad.
G. Turning up the corners of your mouth slightly can give you a calm and pleasant look.
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. F 39. E 40. G

I majored in Mechanical Engineering in college and what I experienced during the job-hunting season in my final year changed my life completely. At that time, I only had one 41 : to join an automaker giant in my country. I 42 other opportunities and poured all my energy into this company. I cleared the written test and felt 43 about my interview performance, but the results hit me hard — I was 44 .
For days, I couldn’t pull myself together, and I 45 the interviewers, my luck, everyone else but myself. Everything 46 when I attended a seminar on the locus of control (控制源) — the idea that you are 47 for whatever happens to you, whether good or bad. This 48 me deeply and pushed me to look inward.
I realized I had always shifted responsibility outward — My parents’ fault, my school’s issue — never mine. When I reviewed my interview honestly, I saw the 49 : I had knowledge gaps and communication weaknesses. So I 50 them. In the next interview, with better 51 and real self-awareness, I performed far better and 52 a position in a company even better than the one I had originally dreamed of.
They say failure is a harsh (苛刻的) but far more 53 teacher than success. That season, I graduated not just as an engineer, but as a student of life, learning that when you 54 blaming the world and start owning your failures, you 55 the power to build a better version of yourself.

Dear Richard,
Regarding the Chinese historic story you want, I recommend “Kong Rong Sharing Pears”. Kang Rang, a four-year-old boy, chose the smallest pear for himself, leaving the larger ones for his elder brothers.
The story is a perfect choice because it highlights traditional Chinese values that are still relevant today. It teaches the importance of humility and consideration.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was a 22-year-old medical student from Sri Lanka, studying in a quiet university town in Russia. For as long as I could remember, becoming a doctor had been my greatest aspiration — one that had driven me to leave my family and home behind, to brave the harsh Russian winters and endless hours of tiring study. I had always believed that with hard work, I could heal the sick and make my parents proud.
But my financial situation took a sudden turn for the worse when my family back in Sri Lanka could no longer send me money. With no savings left and bills piling up, I had no choice but to pack my bags and return home, abandoning the dream I’d fought so hard for.
On the morning of my departure, I dragged my heavy suitcase to the bus stop, my steps slow and heavy. The bus to Moscow was crowded and endless traffic jammed the roads for hours. By the time I finally reached the city center, I could barely breathe from worry — I was already running late for my flight. I grabbed my suitcase and rushed toward the underground station, my breath coming in short gasps(喘气) as I weaved through the bustling crowds.
When I finally made it to the airport, my heart sank. The flight gate was shut tight. I approached the counter, my voice trembling as I begged the staff for help. “You can take the standby flight 3 hours later, Miss,” the staff lady said, “but you have to pay an extra one hundred dollars for the rebooking fee.”
I had used up all my savings on the journey to Moscow and had no financial support from home; I didn’t have that money. For me, it was an impossible amount. I wanted to be strong, to hold back my tears, but I couldn’t. I broke down and cried uncontrollably right there in front of the counter, my shoulders shaking as I thought of my wasted efforts and the uncertain future waiting for me. People began to gather around me. Suddenly, I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Through my tears, I noticed a hesitant old man watching me. His eyes were filled with concern and kindness. The man reached into his pocket and took out a wallet. He carefully counted out the one-hundred-dollar bill and handed it to me, saying, “Take this, young lady. Don’t give up on your dream.” Then, he also gave me a small piece of paper with his contact information on it, telling me to reach out if I ever needed help again. I was so shocked and grateful that I could hardly speak.
With his contact information in pocket, I watched him disappear in the crowd. His act of kindness had given me a second chance. I quickly paid the rebooking fee and boarded the standby flight. On the plane, I kept thinking about the old man. I promised myself that I would repay his kindness one day. When I finally arrived home, I immediately wrote a letter to him, expressing my deep gratitude. His selfless act would always be a reminder that there is still good in the world, and it would inspire me to keep chasing my dream.
