二、阅读理解
Classical music
Classical music was the music of European courts and big concert hats. Specifically, classical music refers to orchestral music of the 18th and early 19th century, which is played with traditional European instruments, often in large orchestras. Beethoven and Mozart are two of the most famous classical composers. Blues
Blues started off as the music of the African slaves who were brought to the United States, closely related to the music of West Africa. It became well-known throughout the world through musicians such as Moody Waters and B．B．King. In many ways, blues remains an important element in many of today’s popular tunes. Jazz
Jazz grew out of blues. As with blues, one of the important elements of jazz is improvisation (即兴演奏). Improvisation happens when a musician plays unwritten music to fit the mood of the occasion. One of the most famous names in jazz is Miles Davis. He was famous for always finding new ways of playing jazz, and for many people, this represented the spirit of jazz. Rock’n’roll and rock
Rock’n’roll developed from fast blues. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were the big names in rock’n’roll and the Beatles in England took the music and made their own sounds from it. When the guitars got louder and the guitar solos (独奏) got longer, rock’n’roli became just rock. Now rock is one of the most popular forms of music in the world and its fans can be found all over the world. Creating new music
Today, these names of music styles are less important to musicians. Radio, television and the Internet have made it easier for sounds to travel across cultures, and styles have become more mixed. If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown, it is that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear.
21．Which is still a vital part in today’s popular tunes
A．Blues. B．Jazz. C．Classical music. D．Rock’n’roll and rock.
22．Which of the following persons is famous for Rock music
A．Mozart. B．Moody Waters. C．Miles Davis. D．Elvis Presley.
23．What can we learn from the passage
A．The technological development limits the spread of music.
B．It’s easier for different music to maintain their own unique styles.
C．The best musicians attach importance to the names of music styles.
D．New music by good musicians can gain its place in the history of popular music.
Do I think the sky is falling Sort of.
My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown.
The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort.
Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing ” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”
I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh ” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can.
We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.
24．What does the author think of her present life
A．She enjoys making new friends.
B．She feels more struggles over aging process.
C．She finds it challenging to handle family crises.
D．She wants others to learn from her life experiences.
25．What message does the story of the sparrow convey
A．Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time.
B．Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world.
C．Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result.
D．Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems.
26．Which of the following can best describe Neshama
A．Healthy and cautious.
B．Caring and responsible.
C．Cooperative and modest.
D．Educated and committed.
27．What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age
A．Love and acts of service bring true richness in life.
B．Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth.
C．Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals.
D．True richness comes from love, service, and achievements.
Many people feel fear or disgust when seeing spiders, scorpions, and similar creatures. However, these animals are vital for healthy ecosystems. As global biodiversity declines, two scientists from the University of Massachusetts studied how insects and arachnids are faring in the United States. Their research revealed a shocking lack of data, highlighting an urgent need to protect these creatures, which are essential for our planet’s health.
Laura Figueroa, the study’s senior author, explains that insects and arachnids are fundamental to human society. They assist in pollination, control pests naturally, and even indicate air and water quality. While popular animals like lions and pandas receive significant conservation attention, these smaller creatures often do not. The researchers aimed to understand their current status since they rarely get the same protection.
The study examined 99,312 known insect and arachnid species in North America. The results were startling: nearly 90% of these species have no official conservation status. This means we simply do not know how most of them are doing. Existing information is uneven, focusing mostly on aquatic insects used for monitoring water quality or visually appealing groups like butterflies. Arachnids, in particular, are largely ignored, with most states protecting not a single species.
The research also found that conservation efforts vary by state. States relying heavily on industries like mining and oil extraction tend to offer fewer protections. In contrast, states with more environmentally conscious public attitudes are more likely to safeguard these species. Figueroa suggests looking at bird conservation as a successful model, where diverse groups like hunters and bird watchers united for a common goal.
Ultimately, insects and arachnids are more than objects of fear. They deserve appreciation for their ecological importance. Protecting them begins with collecting more data and recognizing their value. As one researcher noted, changing our perspective is the first step toward ensuring these critical species survive for future generations.
28．What did the study by Figueroa and Walsh mainly reveal about insects and arachnids
A．They are disappearing faster than large animals.
B．Most species lack official protection and data.
C．They are only important for water quality monitoring.
D．People generally love them more than birds and lions.
29．Why do some states offer fewer protections for these creatures according to the text
A．They have too many dangerous species living there.
B．Their economies depend on resource-extracting industries.
C．The public in those states dislikes all kinds of insects.
D．There are no scientists working in those specific areas.
30．What can be inferred about the future of insect conservation from the bird example
A．Only professional biologists can save endangered species.
B．Success requires cooperation among different groups of people.
C．Birds and insects compete for the same limited resources.
D．Hunting should be completely banned to protect all wildlife.
31．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text
A．To warn people about the dangers of spider bites.
B．To compare the populations of spiders and butterflies.
C．To call for greater attention to protecting small creatures.
D．To explain why mining industries harm the environment.
Imagine trying to convince someone with facts that challenge their long-held opinion, only to find them dismissing or processing the information. This is belief perseverance at work. Interestingly, these beliefs don’t necessarily stem from personal experience; for instance, a child might believe “all lawyers are untrustworthy” merely because an older sibling said so, and then ignore any trustworthy lawyers they encounter later, categorizing them as exceptions.
Often confused with confirmation bias, belief perseverance is distinct. While confirmation bias involves seeking out information that supports one’s preconceptions, belief perseverance is about actively rejecting evidence that could disprove those beliefs, building a psychological barrier around one’s existing views.
This bias emerges in multiple forms. In terms of self-perception, someone might persistently view themselves as bad at public speaking despite receiving applause for presentations, attributing success to luck. Socially, initial judgments can linger: assuming a reserved classmate is unfriendly, even after friendly interactions. Societally, stereotypes about groups — be it racial, gender-based, or political — frequently endure, resisting factual counterarguments.
Research backs this up. In one study, students given false feedback on analyzing suicide notes continued to believe in their “accuracy” or “inaccuracy” even after learning the feedback was fabricated (伪造的). Another experiment showed that beliefs connecting risk-taking to firefighting effectiveness persisted, regardless of discredited supporting data.
Several psychological factors contribute to belief perseverance. The availability heuristic (可得性启发法) makes people rely on easily recalled examples, like assuming all doctors are impatient after one negative encounter. Illusory correlation creates false associations, such as linking a team’s loss to the color of their uniforms. Selective attention further reinforces biases, as individuals tend to notice evidence that confirms their beliefs while overlooking contradictory signs.
Overcoming this bias requires self-awareness. Strategies like counter-explanation — prompting individuals to consider reasons for opposing beliefs — can aid in relaxing the grip of firmly-established mindsets. While complete removal may be unrealistic, recognizing belief perseverance is a crucial step towards more objective thinking in a world filled with information.
32．What does the example of the child in Paragraph 1 intend to show
A．Children are more likely to be influenced by their siblings.
B．Belief perseverance often comes from non-personal experience.
C．People tend to regard trustworthy lawyers as exceptions.
D．Long-held opinions are hard to change with facts.
33．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．Confirmation bias is more common than belief perseverance.
B．People with confirmation bias will reject conflicting information.
C．Belief perseverance is a stronger barrier to objective thinking.
D．Both biases are closely related to people’s preconceptions.
34．Which of the following can be inferred from the research mentioned in Paragraph 4
A．False feedback has a lasting impact on people’s beliefs.
B．Students are more likely to stick to their wrong beliefs.
C．Belief perseverance can’t be changed by any means.
D．People’s beliefs are easily influenced by fabricated data.
35．What would be the best title for the passage
A．How to overcome belief perseverance.
B．Belief perseverance: a psychological bias
C．Differences between two common biases
D．The impact of belief perseverance on people’s life
This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen 36
When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). 37 This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry.
The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes.
38 A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse.
Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. 39 If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety.
What is the best solution Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. 40 But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice.
A．Onions can sometimes carry bacteria.
B．Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions.
C．This finding highlights the importance of your knife.
D．In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away.
E．For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier.
F．Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason.
G．This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode.

六、书面表达
67．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。
Two days before her school’s Christmas program, my nine-year-old daughter Charlotte proudly announced, “I’m singing solo (独唱) ‘Silent Night’ “. That puzzled me. Charlotte loved to sing. She sang in the shower and the car and just about everywhere else, despite her struggles with high pitch (高音). Now she could carry a tune a bit better than last year, but I didn’t think she’d improved enough yet to sing a solo. Reminding myself that all things are indeed possible in grade school, I chose not to question her confidence.
I soon learned that my two other daughters in 11th grade, Monica and Corina, were also to perform in a different Christmas program on the same night. They were skilled singers and piano players. This time, they were giving a piano performance that night, an hour later than their younger sister. The three girls practiced everyday at home, filling our room with singing, piano music and laughter. Sometimes the two teenagers would give Charlotte some tips on improving her pitch, and could even accompany her singing “Silent Night” on the piano in a very short time. Knowing them well-prepared, I looked forward to the Christmas programs this year.
The big day finally came, and I came to school to watch Charlotte’s performance with delight. However, things went wrong. Shortly after dropping her backstage, she found me in the hall, eyes filled with tears. Her teacher explained there had been a misunderstanding — Charlotte was not picked to sing a solo. Heartbroken, she asked to leave. Though upset, I focused on comforting her.
Teenagers notice everything. When we arrived at their auditorium earlier than scheduled, Monica and Corina quickly realized something was wrong. When I explained the situation, they showed sincere sympathy. “Come with us, Charlotte. You can see backstage and meet our friends.” The invitation beat any flavor of ice-cream, and Charlotte gladly accepted and went with them. I sat with the audience and waited, until the host announced my girls’ names.
注意：

【原文】 W: As I grew up, I discovered many people believe a woman can either have a career or be a good mother, but my mother is both things. A lot of my friends are constantly stressing how pursuing their careers will impact their children later in life. But it’s strange to me because these conversations seem to focus on the negative effects instead of the positive ones. I find this strange because I’m living proof of the positive. Because I grew up with a career-centered mother, I think differently about gender inequality. When my parents are at home, they take on all the responsibilities together. As a result, I’ve never seen traditional gender roles in our house. A study by Harvard surveyed 50,000 adults and found that having a working mother can actually convey positive gender attitudes to children. This study also found that daughters of working mothers have more fulfilling careers, enjoy higher pay and have more equal relationships than those raised by stay-at-home mothers.

Monica and Corina walked onto the stage, gesturing Charlotte to join them. Charlotte stood there in shock, her eyes still wet with tears, too shy to move forward. The two sisters waved at her warmly and nodded encouragingly, and the audience also clapped gently to urge her on. Finally, she took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage nervously. As the soft piano tune flowed out, Monica nodded at her, and Charlotte opened her mouth to sing Silent Night. Her voice was small at first, then became steady with her sisters’ gentle accompaniment and harmonious backup singing. When the last note faded, the auditorium erupted into thunderous and lasting applause.
I went to the backstage and found the three girls chatting happily. Charlotte was talking animatedly, her face glowing with joy and pride, no trace of sadness left. Monica and Corina were listening with smiles, occasionally pinching her cheek and praising her for singing wonderfully. I walked over and hugged the three tightly, my heart filled with warmth and moved. Charlotte looked up at me, her eyes bright, and said softly, “Mom, I sang my solo, and it was amazing!” That Christmas night, the warm sisterly love turned a regret into the most precious and unforgettable memory in our hearts.
