第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Ancient Civilizations and Ruins
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu, site of ancient Inca ruins located about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Cuzco, Peru, in the Cordillera de Vilcabamba of the Andes Mountains. It is situated above the Urubamba River valley in a narrow ridge between two sharp peaks — Machu Picchu (“Old Peak”) and Huayna Picchu (“New Peak”) — at an elevation of 7,710 feet (2,350 meters). One of the few major pre-Columbian ruins found nearly complete, Machu Picchu was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983.
The Maya
At its height, the Maya empire extended throughout the Yucatán Peninsula, modern-day Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Mexico, making it one of the most dominant civilizations of its time. The Maya were quite advanced, demonstrating remarkable engineering skills and employing complex mathematics. The civilization appeared unable to sustain itself and experienced a dramatic decline about 900 CE. Archeologists now believe that the Maya were victims of ongoing war coupled with climate change that resulted in extreme hunger, forcing a mass departure from their largest cities. Destruction of the countryside, resulting in decreasing resources, may also have played a role.
The Khmer empire
On the other side of the world, the Khmer empire had spread across modern-day Cambodia. Angkor was one of the civilization’s largest cities, with an extensive system of roads and canals and an estimated population of as many as one million people. The Khmer empire was at its height between 1000 and 1200 CE, and experts are unsure what caused the civilization to disappear, leaving its cities at the mercy of the continuous jungle. Theories range from war to environmental disaster.
The Indus civilization
The Indus civilization, also known as the Harappan civilization, was one of the largest in ancient history, extending over parts of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and containing as many as five million people. At its height, the civilization boasted some of the world’s most impressive architecture, among other achievements. It disappeared approximately 3,000 years ago for reasons unknown. One theory suggests that it fell victim to climate change that resulted in drought and starvation.
1. Which civilization is described as one of the largest in ALL of ancient history
A. The Maya, due to its wide geographical spread
B. The Indus, for its scale across three modern countries
C. The Khmer, because of its one-million-strong city
D. The Inca, as Machu Picchu survived nearly complete
2. For which civilization do experts directly say they cannot explain its disappearance
A. The Khmer, as no agreed cause has been found
B. The Indus, since all records were lost long ago
C. The Maya, because war destroyed all written evidence
D. The Inca, given Machu Picchu was found nearly intact
3. What theme applies to ALL four civilizations described in the passage
A. They were recognized by international heritage organizations
B. They all collapsed primarily because of climate change
C. They demonstrated outstanding engineering achievements
D. They each rose to power and eventually disappeared
B
The Rise of “Little Treats” Economics
In today’s uncertain economic climate, a new spending habit has emerged among young people: the “Little Treat” culture. While previous generations were encouraged to save every penny for big purchases like houses or cars, many of today’s Gen Z and millennials are finding that these traditional milestones feel increasingly out of reach. As a result, they are shifting their financial focus toward smaller, immediate joys.
A “little treat” might be a five-dollar iced coffee, a fancy scented candle, or a new book. On the surface, this looks like thoughtless spending. However, economists suggest it is actually a psychological response to the rising cost of living. When the housing market feels impossible to enter, spending a few dollars on a high-quality pie provides a necessary sense of reward and control over one’s daily life.
On social media, “Treat Culture” has become a massive trend. Influencers argue that these small luxuries act as a “mental health tax” — a way to reduce stress in a high-pressure world. But financial experts offer a more cautious view. They warn that while one coffee won't break the bank, the “subscription effect” of daily small spends can add up to thousands of dollars a year. This might prevent young people from building an emergency fund, which is essential for long-term financial security.
Ultimately, the rise of “little treats” reflects a deeper change in how we define success. For many, the goal is no longer just about accumulating wealth for the distant future. Instead, it is about finding a balance between responsible saving and enjoying the present moment. In an era where “big” dreams are expensive, “small” happiness has become a new kind of economic priority.
4. According to social media influencers, what role do “little treats” play
A. They slowly use up one's long-term financial savings
B. They act as a useful way to reduce daily stress
C. They signal a shift away from traditional life goals
D. They help young people enter the housing market sooner
5. The underlined phrase “subscription effect” in Paragraph 3 most likely refers to ________.
A. the rising cost of paid online platforms
B. the growing trend of signing up for memberships
C. the accumulation of repeated small daily purchases
D. the influence of advertising on consumer choices
6. What can we infer about how Gen Z views traditional financial goals like buying a house
A. They see them as harder to achieve than before
B. They have completely given up pursuing these goals
C. They prefer spending on travel and experiences instead
D. They oppose the financial advice of older generations
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. Why small purchases are a healthy psychological coping strategy
B. How social media has changed young people's spending habits
C. Why financial experts criticize the “little treat” culture
D. How young people are redefining financial success today
C
Recently, I revisited Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s timeless classic, The Little Prince. Although often categorized as a children’s book, its profound messages about human nature and the modern world are perhaps more relevant to teenagers and adults today than ever before.
The story follows a pilot stuck in the Sahara Desert who meets a young prince from a tiny planet. As the prince describes his journey through various planets, he shares his encounters with several “grown-ups,” including a king, a businessman, and a geographer. Each character represents a different human flaw, such as the obsession with power, wealth, or cold facts. Through these interactions, the author criticizes how adults often lose sight of what truly matters in life.
One of the most famous lines in the book is: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” This simple yet powerful idea serves as the core of the book. In our fast-paced, digital age, we are often distracted by social media likes, exam grades, and material success. We tend to judge things by their appearance or price tag rather than their true value. The prince’s relationship with his rose and his friendship with the fox remind us that it is the time and care we “waste” on something that makes it important.
Reading this book felt like a gentle wake-up call. It challenges the reader to look beyond the surface and reconnect with their imagination. It teaches us that being a “grown-up” shouldn’t mean losing our sense of wonder or our ability to form deep, meaningful connections.
In conclusion, The Little Prince is not just a fairy tale; it is a philosophical guide. It encourages us to slow down, look at the stars, and remember that the most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or touched — they must be felt with the heart.
8. What do the grown-ups the prince encounters on his journey have in common
A They are consumed by things of little true worth
B. They offer the prince guidance on life's real meaning
C. They represent ideals that modern adults should follow
D. They have forgotten how to communicate with children
9. The word “distracted” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.
A. motivated to pursue more ambitious targets
B. drawn away from what is genuinely important
C. confused about one's identity and future goals
D. entertained by fast-moving digital content
10. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude toward growing up
A. Adults naturally become wiser as they age
B. Imagination is inevitably lost in adulthood
C. Maturity does not have to mean losing one's wonder
D. Most modern adults have already lost their curiosity
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To encourage readers to rediscover deeper values in life
B. To retell The Little Prince for a younger audience
C. To analyze Saint-Exupéry’s unique storytelling techniques
D. To argue that children's books hold more wisdom than adult fiction
D
When people see me today, they often think my path was paved with high-tech success. However, the most important lessons of my life didn’t come from a computer lab; they came from a Denny’s restaurant in a small town. My family had immigrated to the United States when I was a child, and we didn’t have much. As a teenager, I was quite shy and struggled to fit in. To support myself and gain some confidence, I took a job as a dishwasher and a waiter. It was a humble beginning, but it was there that I learned the value of hard work and the importance of serving others.
In that busy kitchen, there was no room for excuses. If the dishes weren’t clean, the whole system stopped. I had to be organized, fast, and, most importantly, resilient. I remember the heat of the kitchen and the constant pressure of a Friday night rush. My manager once told me that excellence isn’t an act, but a habit. I took that to heart. I realized that even the smallest task, like cleaning a table or mopping a floor, deserved my full attention and effort. This mindset of “doing your best at whatever you do” became the foundation of my professional life.
Later, when I moved on to study electrical engineering, I carried those lessons with me. I wasn’t the smartest student in the room, but I was certainly the most persistent. I treated my difficult coding assignments with the same focus I had given to those restaurant shifts. I learned that innovation is often just the result of staying with a problem longer than anyone else is willing to. My childhood taught me that your background doesn’t define your future; your work ethic does. Today, as I lead a company at the center of the AI revolution, I still think of myself as that boy in the kitchen, always ready to work hard and keep learning.
12. What did the manager’s words lead the author to understand
A. Confidence in one’s abilities leads to excellence
B. One should focus energy only on the most critical tasks
C. Repeatedly practising a skill builds lasting muscle memory
D. Every task, no matter how small, deserves one’s best effort
13. How did the author approach his university engineering studies
A. By relying on his strong natural intelligence
B. By bringing the same persistence he had in the kitchen
C. By choosing simpler assignments to build confidence first
D. By learning directly from experienced senior engineers
14. According to the author, what is innovation most closely linked to
A. The willingness to endure when others have already given up
B. Receiving formal training in engineering or technology
C. Collaborating closely with a talented and driven team
D Being placed in the right environment at the right time
15. What is the main message the author conveys in this passage
A. Moving to a new country creates the best chance of success
B. Natural talent is always less important than hard work
C. Lessons from a humble start can shape one’s entire career
D. Working in the service industry is the best form of education

The Silent Weaver: Threads of Time
In the ancient water town of Wuzhen, a rhythmic clacking echoes from a quiet workshop. Inside, 68-year-old Master Gu sits before his large wooden loom.

47. 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。
“Hurry up, everyone! Don’t forget your lunches!” Mrs. Jones called out as Luna’s class could hardly contain their excitement for their class trip to the Grand Exhibition. “I’m going to take lots of pictures,” Mrs. Jones announced, holding up her camera. “We’ll make a wonderful class book about our day!”
On the bus, Luna could hardly sit still. When it finally stopped, she leaped up. “I want to be first!” she cried, accidentally pushing past Kevin in her rush. Inside the dimly lit exhibition hall, Mrs. Jones gathered the class for a group photo. “Everyone, stay to the right, please!” she reminded them. But in the darkness, Luna, still overexcited, tripped over someone’s foot. She lost her balance and fell forward, crashing right into Mrs. Jones.
Crash! The camera slipped from the teacher’s hands and hit the floor with a sickening sound. A heavy silence fell over the room. Mrs. Jones bent down and picked up the camera. “It’s broken,” Mrs. Jones sighed sadly. Luna’s heart sank. “I’ve ruined everything. Now we can’t make our class book,” she whispered, fighting back tears. Mrs. Jones gently patted her on the shoulder and said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about that.”
Throughout the tour, while Kevin and others looked in wonder at the exhibits, Luna saw nothing. She was consumed by guilt. Even during lunch, the noisy chatter of her classmates couldn’t lift her spirits. “Please quiet down,” Mrs. Jones said with a tired voice. “After you eat, you may visit the gift shop. But remember, be back on the bus by 2:30.”
The next day at school, the children were asked to write about their trip. “Since we have no pictures,” Mrs. Jones said, trying to sound cheerful, “we’ll have to draw pictures for our class book.”
Luna looked at her blank paper, feeling sad. Then, she saw Kevin take something out of his bag — a handful of beautiful postcards from the gift shop. An idea flashed through her mind. “What if we use these ” Luna exclaimed, her voice suddenly bright. Kevin smiled and nodded.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The idea spread quickly and quietly through the class.

Luna carefully handed the book to Mrs. Jones.
