Text 10
Hi! I have to say I’ve had the pleasure to see so much of the world. Six years ago on a trip, my mother made a video of me dancing freely in Thailand. I put it on the Internet. Some friends started passing it around and soon millions of people watched it. How lucky I was! And since then, I’ve travelled to many countries on all seven continents, such as New Zealand, Britain and Canada. I love this kind of exciting life travelling around the world. What’s more, during the trip in Britain, I first met my husband.
Quite a few people wanted to dance along with me, so I started inviting them to join in almost everywhere I went. When I dance with people, I see them smile and laugh. It makes me truly excited. People want to feel connected with each other. They want to be heard and seen, and they’re curious to hear and see others from places far away. I share that idea in my book. It’s exactly what drives me to travel. Now I’m working on the book about my journeys. I hope you will like reading it in the future.

Three Most Culturally Significant Miao Festivals
Miao New Year
It is celebrated at different times of the year in different
regions, usually in the period from the ninth to the eleventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar and lasting 5 to 15 days. During the festival, Miao people dress up in traditional costumes and there are large parades. The locals celebrate by beating drums (鼓), dancing to the music of lusheng, horse racing and sometimes horse fighting or bullfighting.
The Lusheng Festival
The largest Lusheng Festival is held in Kaili, Guizhou. It is celebrated from the 16th to the 20th of the first lunar month. During the festival, Miao people from surrounding villages all come together in traditional dress. The men play lusheng while the women dance. They believe that this ceremony will bring a good harvest and good health in the coming year. However, the festival is not simply about playing lusheng. It also features other activities typical of Miao people, such as singing, bullfighting, and horse racing.
The Sisters’ Meal Festival
Held from the 15th to the 17th of the third lunar month, it is the most popular festival among young men and women of Miao people. Before the festival, Miao girls go to the mountains to gather wild flowers and leaves, which are then used to make coloured dye (染料). When the festival begins, Miao girls meet by the river banks to make “Sister’s Rice”. They dye the rice blue, pink, yellow and white to represent spring, summer, autumn and winter.
When the men arrive, each of them singles out the woman he loves and sings to her. The woman responds to the song by giving the man a cup of rice wine and the Sister’s Rice. If the rice is offered with a pair of red chopsticks, it means the woman returns the man’s love. If only one chopstick is offered, it is a polite refusal.

Georgia, who works for a popular fashion store in the UK, left her purse at a gas station after her company party in early December. She was heartbroken, but thinking someone must have taken it away, she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn’t phone the station to ask about it. But her tears quickly dried when an off-duty firefighter named Nyma showed up at her door.
A ring camera caught Georgia and Nyma’s exchange, and the owner of the store posted the video on the store’s website. In it, Nyma rings her doorbell and Georgia answers it using a phone app. Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house, so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic.
Georgia was moved to tears and kept offering to send Nyma money for his good deed, but he refused. He simply asked her to pay it forward, and explained that it was no trouble for him though Georgia knew he needed to drive hours to get to her house. Because she wasn’t home at the time, he left the purse in an empty garbage bag and left.
The owner and Georgia were so touched by the gesture, and they started a search for the mystery man so they could give him a proper “thank you”. Georgia uploaded the video. It didn’t take long to find him. They invited him to the store for an official meet—and he went.
“He is such a kind man,” reads another post. “It was an absolute pleasure to meet him. The video has got millions of views and we hope he will be a positive influence on many.”

Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behaviour in daily life.
Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended about jokes. The foreigners may be unsure about when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The concept of culture shock helps explain the feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may look down on their native
country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是文化冲击,以及文化冲击在语言、习俗、行为上的体现。

(　 　)29. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that _______.
A. it’s impossible to get used to a new culture
B. people feel confused due to culture shock
C. foreigners often don’t mean what they say
D. most foreigners are usually quite humorous
B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The foreigners may be unsure about when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The concept of culture shock helps explain the feeling of puzzlement and confusion.”可知,由于文化冲击,人们常常会感到困惑且无所适从。
(　 　)30. The underlined sentence “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests that ________.
A. people away from their culture can hardly survive in a new
culture　
B. a fish can not survive without water　
C. people away from their culture experience mental loneliness

new environment

(　 　)31. The biggest barrier people often meet with in a new country is ___________.

A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language.”及第三段中的“Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel.”可知,在一个新的国家,人们遇到的最大问题就是语言不通,这一个问题就足以让人们变得焦虑。

Spend any time in London, England’s capital, and you’ll quickly realise that it’s a multicultural community. Look around at your fellow passengers on the underground or the bus. They’re of every skin colour and dress differently from one another. Listen, and you’ll hear many other languages besides English spoken. Some of these people will be tourists who are in London to see the sights. But others, in fact probably most, will be living their lives there, along with millions of others.
Along with white British people, there are Britons from, or with parents and grand-parents from, the Caribbean, India, China and most other places. This makes London a wonderful place in which to live. The reason is that when people settle in a place, they don’t just buy a house and live there, but bring aspects of the culture of their “old country” with them.
A number of restaurants offering dishes from different parts of the world can be seen in London. You would come across French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and even Polish restaurants in London.
However, London’s multiculturalism isn’t just about food. Many types of people are gathered in one space, but the way they live differently shows in that space. They have different religious beliefs. Alongside one of the most famous old English churches, St Paul’s Cathedral, you’ll find mosques, temples and synagogues (犹太教堂).
London even speaks its own special kind of English. Language experts created the term “Multicultural London English” to identify the dialect (方言) of English that appeared at the end of the last century.
All of this makes London a very surprising and varied place to call your home. But, in a way, this has long been true. In the 18th century, the compiler (编纂者) of the first English dictionary, Samuel Johnson, once said: “He who is tired of London is tired of life.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国伦敦是一个多元文化的社会,居民来自不同的地区,饮食、宗教文化多样,甚至有独特的英语方言,魅力悠久。
(　 　)32. What is the purpose of the author by describing the situation on the underground and bus
A. To show that London is a multicultural city.
B. To explain why London appeals to tourists.
C. To prove that London is a great place to live in.
D. To inform us of how the population of Britain is made up.
A
【解析】 理解目的题。根据第一段中的“Spend any time in London, England’s capital, and you’ll quickly gather that it’s a multicultural community.”可知,作者描述地铁和公共汽车的情景是为了说明伦敦是一个多元文化的社会。
(　 　)33. What happen to the people settling in London from other places
A. They are forced to give up their native language.
B. They find it easy to buy a house in the city.
C. They introduce cultural practices from their original country.
D. They make up the majority of the population in the city.
C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The reason is that when people settle in a place, they don’t just buy a house and live there, but bring aspects of the culture of their ‘old country’ with them.”可知,从其他地方搬到伦敦的人把他们自己国家的文化也带到了伦敦。
(　 　)34. Which of the following could be used as proof of London’s multiculturalism
A. The city is home to the famous building St Paul’s Cathedral.
B. The city has become a favourite destination for tourists
abroad.
C. There are a variety of French restaurants in the city.
D. A new London dialect has appeared in recent years.
D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Language experts created the term ‘Multicultural London English’ to identify the dialect (方言) of English that appeared at the end of the last century.”可知,最近几年新出现的伦敦方言,可以证明伦敦的多元文化。
(　 　)35. Why is Samuel Johnson mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show what London was like in the 18th century.
B. To prove the cultural diversity of London from a historical
aspect.
C. To inform the readers what to expect in London.
D. To introduce the first dictionary he complied.
B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,Samuel Johnson从历史方面证明了伦敦一直以来都是一个充满活力、令人兴奋且多样化的地方。他所说的“谁厌倦了伦敦,谁就厌倦了生活”突出了伦敦的独特魅力和吸引力,表明伦敦一直是一个充满惊喜和变化的城市,这种特质不仅在当下存在,早在18世纪就已被人们所认可。

Can you remember a time when somebody was kind to you Perhaps a person allowed you to go in front of them in a queue. Maybe your sister phoned you to ask how your week was going. Or perhaps a stranger or a friend helped you in a much deeper way. 　36　
Few people would disagree with the idea that a kind action is good for the soul. It is a win-win situation, leading to a sense of well-being for both the receiver and the giver. As a simple example, let’s imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. 　37　 Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise and, in addition, you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy.
　38　 The idea behind this is that it doesn’t take any major plan to be kind, just a little bit of effort. Many believe that kindness can be taught and that it is contagious (有感染力的). So by being kind to others, a brighter community and world will be created.
Some websites suggest more imaginative ways to show kindness. 　39　 The first is interpersonal kindness. Some examples are donating old clothes to charity or writing a
positive online comment about a restaurant that you like. The second is environmental kindness, which could mean simply recycling or organising a group event to clean a local park or beach. The third category is less obvious: personal kindness, which means treating yourself kindly. Some examples are taking a walk in nature or setting yourself a goal to complain less.
　40　
A. Doing something good can be very hard.
B. You praise him and show your admiration.
C. Generally, these fall into three categories.
D. Offering kindness can bring happiness.
E. There are a million ways to offer kindness.
F. People are encouraged to do random acts of kindness.
G. If you are kind to yourself, you will naturally be kinder to others.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了友善的好处以及如何与人为善。
36. E　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据上文可知,本段主要列举了几种别人对你的友善举动,空格处会提到表明善意的方式有很多,选项E“有无数种方式去施予善意”符合语境。
37. B　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。空格前提到一个简单的例子,假设你有一个总是把工作做得很好的同事,空格后提到你的同事会很高兴得到表扬,空格处会提到你对同事的工作表示赞扬,选项B“你赞扬他并表达你的钦佩之情”符合语境。
38. F　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据下文中的“The idea behind this is that it doesn’t take any major plan to be kind, just a little bit of effort.”可知,行善并不需要什么宏大的计划,只需要一点点努力,空格处应提到鼓励人们去做一些善举,选项F“人们被鼓励去做一些随机的善举”符合语境。
39. C　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据下文中的“The first…The second…The third…”可知,空格处应是对这三种做法的统领和概括,选项C“一般来说,这些可以分为三个类别”符合语境。
40. G　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据上文中的“personal kindness,which means treating yourself kindly”可知,自我关怀,意味着善待自己,空格处应承接上文说明善待自己的作用,选项G“如果你善待自己,你自然也会更善待他人”符合语境。
第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

Grandfather was a wise man. No matter how badly behaved I had been, I could tell Grandpa anything and my secrets were 　41　. He loved me and would never give them away.
I remember a time when a group of us were playing baseball behind Mrs Ferguson’s house. I hit one pitch just right and…slam! It ended up breaking Mrs Ferguson’s kitchen window! We all 　42　!
After I got home, I told Grandpa about it. He knew we had been 　43　 many times about the dangers of playing where we shouldn’t. 　44　 he just listened.
“I was wrong,” I told him, with my head down. “I hate myself for what I did. Is there a way 　45　 ”
“Well,” he said, “Mrs Ferguson has a problem, just like you. If she knew you 　46　 and you were afraid of her, she would be sad. I’ll bet she wishes you would give her a chance to be 　47　. It’s your decision. Are you planning to 　48　 nothing happened Just keep quiet and hide what you’re not proud of ”
“I don’t know,” I 　49　. “Things might get worse…”
“Let’s think it through,”he said finally. “If you were Mrs Ferguson, what would you do ” I didn’t know what she might do. I had been 　50　 that Mrs Ferguson would stay mad at me, so I ran. On the way home I imagined that she was a mean witch chasing me.
“Well,” I said, taking a deep breath, “one solution is to tell Mrs Ferguson I’m sorry and offer to fix her window.”　
“If you call her,” asked Grandpa, “what’s the 　51　 that can happen ” I had to think for a moment. I realised that even if she did not accept my apology, it could not be any worse than seeing the 　52　 on Mum and Dad’s faces.
Grandpa smiled when he knew I had figured it out.
“Doing what’s right is not always 　53　,” he said, handing me the phone.“I’m proud of you.” Grandpa did not make me do it. It was always my 　54　. As it turned out, Mrs Ferguson was very kind and we even became really close friends.

第二节　读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Ariana caught another whiff (臭味) and tried to hold her breath. She moved away slightly, but Ashley only moved closer and continued talking. Ariana felt trapped. She wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn’t smell very good. But how could she do that without hurting her feelings Instead, she gathered the
remains of her lunch to throw in the trash, thankful for the excuse to get some fresh air. She looked back to see Ashley eating quietly. Ashley’s hair was tangled (乱糟糟的), and her clothes were dirty. Ariana forced herself to go back to the table and take her seat, vowing that she would not sit with Ashley tomorrow.
When Ariana got home from school, she complained to her mother, “There’s a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school, but she smells bad.”
“She’s probably having a tough day,” said her mother.
“No, it’s not just one day. She smells bad a lot,” Ariana explained. “Nobody else likes to sit next to her, either.”
“I don’t think you understand Ashley’s situation, so let me ask you this…,” her mother’s tone was serious. “Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you’ll look nice when you go to school ”
“You do,” answered Ariana.
“Who makes sure you’re bathed and cleaned every day And your clothes are washed and neatly ironed ”
“You and Daddy,” Ariana said again.
“Do you live in a nice home Do you have enough to eat ”
Ariana nodded, beginning to feel guilty. She was starting to understand now. Ashley couldn’t help her situation because she was only seven years old—the same age as Ariana. Grown-ups are supposed to take care of kids.
“Why doesn’t her family take better care of her ” Ariana asked.
“Not all children live in the best situation,” her mother said.“The best thing you can do for Ashley is to treat her with kindness and sympathy.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Ariana bit her bottom lip. Sadness for Ashley filled her heart.
She vowed that from now on she would be the best friend that she could be to Ashley. At school, Ariana voluntarily sat next to Ashley. She willingly partnered with Ashley to help with her schoolwork.She teamed with Ashley to play games happily.On the day that Ashley smelled too bad, she moved away a little or politely asked Ashley for a little room.She was always careful not to hurt Ashley’s feelings.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
At the end of the school year, the second grade prepared to go on a field trip to the zoo.
The day before the trip, the teacher announced that the class needed to bring a lunch from home. Ashley was absent, and Ariana worried that her friend would not have a lunch because Ashley always ate the school lunches. So, the next day, Ariana asked her mum to make an extra lunch for Ashley—just in case. She was right. When Ariana gave the lunch to Ashley, tears welled up in Ashley’s eyes, and she thanked Ariana for her kindness and consideration.

Hello everyone. I’d like to tell you something about the student clubs in our school.
Let’s begin with our reading club. It was first started in 1968 and has 90 members now. Every Thursday afternoon they gather together to exchange their ideas on books and you may join them to share your views. If you are a music lover, come to our music club. This club has a total of 85 members who usually
meet on Saturday. Sometimes they go to concerts together and sometimes they give performances themselves. For those who enjoy outdoor sports, the bicycle club can be a good choice. Trips are usually organised on Wednesday and last at least two hours.
Together with 50 cyclists, you can not only see the beautiful nature but also make yourself stronger. Of course, there are also many other clubs in our school. For more information, please go to the school website.

The Qixi Festival, the Chinese Valentine’s Day that fell yesterday, was not only a disappointment for forgotten lovers, but also for businessmen left with empty pockets.
The cold welcome has caused experts to seriously worry that the lovers’ festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty (202 BC—220 AD), is dying out. Some have even called for the government to make the festival a legal Chinese Lovers’
Day. But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals are worth high praise.
A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, share the same fate as the Qixi Festival.
Young people are showing less interest in traditional culture as symbolised by these festivals. Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal, the risk of them becoming purely formalised celebrations with little meaning is not reduced. If the younger generation fails to appreciate the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done.
Concern about the traditional holidays also reminds people of the growing influence of foreign cultures as the country opens wider to the outside world. With traditional festivals becoming less important and imports such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day gaining widespread popularity, the public including cultural professionals has tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms.
Business rather than culture has begun to play a dominant (占主导地位的) role. More and more people are interested in how much money can be made during the holidays.
In fact, what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive are their cultural elements. After all, it is unique culture that contributes to the world’s diversity with globalisation.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过立法保护传统节日的有效性令人怀疑,只有重视节日背后的文化意义才能有效保护它们。
(　 　)24. What leads the experts to worry that the lovers’ festival is dying out
A. The unpopularity of Qixi Festival among the public.
B. The disappointment in both lovers and businessmen.
C. The failure to make traditional Chinese festivals legal.
D. The action to preserve culture and traditional festivals.
A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The cold welcome has caused experts to seriously worry that the lovers’ festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty (202 BC—220 AD), is dying out.”可知,引起专家担忧的是七夕节在公众中不受欢迎。
(　 　)25. What’s the author’s attitude towards the effectiveness of the legalisation of the Qixi Festival
A. Unconcerned. B. Positive.
C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful.
C
【解析】 观点态度题。根据第二段中的“But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals are worth high praise.”可知,作者对立法保护七夕节的有效性持怀疑态度。
(　 　)26. From Paragraph 4 we can learn that 　　　.
A. making the festivals legal can reduce the risk of the
disappearance of them
B. the legal traditional festivals ensure the meaningfulness of the
celebrations
C. the formalised celebrations are thought more highly of by the
young people
D. preserving traditional festivals relies on youth’s valuing their
cultural values
D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“If the younger generation fails to appreciate the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done.”可知,如果年轻一代不能理解传统节日背后的文化意义,那就无法通过行动来保护传统节日。由此推知,保护传统节日依赖于年轻人对其文化价值的重视。
(　 　)27. The author’s purpose for writing this article is to
　　　.
A. inform the public of the dying out of traditional Chinese festivals
B. review the effects of globalisation on the world’s cultural diversity
C. warn people against measuring traditional festivals in economic terms
D. highlight the role of cultural elements in preserving traditional festivals

Through intercultural communication, we come to create, understand, and transform culture and identity. Intercultural communi-cation is communication between people with different cultural identities.
One reason we should study intercultural communication is to enhance self-awareness. Our thinking process regarding culture is often “others-focused”, meaning that the culture of the other person or group is what stands out in our view. However, the old saying “know thyself” is appropriate, as we become more aware of our own culture by better understanding other cultures and views.
Intercultural communication can allow us to step outside of our comfortable, usual frame of reference and see our culture through a different aspect. Additionally, as we become more self-aware, we may become more ethical communicators as we challenge our tendency to view our culture as superior to others.
As was noted earlier, differences matter, and studying intercultural communication can help us better negotiate in our changing world. Changing economies and technologies intersect with culture in meaningful ways. Technology has created a global village where vast distances are much shorter due to new technology that makes travel and communi-cation more accessible and convenient. However, as the following “Getting
Plugged In” box indicates, there is also a digital divide, which refers to the unequal access to technology and related skills that exists throughout much of the world. People in most fields will be more successful if they are prepared to work in a globalised world.
Obviously, the global market sets up the need for intercultural competence for employees who travel between locations of a multinational corporation. Perhaps less obvious may be the need for teachers to work with students who do not speak English as their first language and for police officers, lawyers, managers, and medical personnel to be able to work with people who have various cultural identities.

Awe (敬畏) experiences are typically connected with the perception (感知) of something incredibly vast or powerful. These are often related to nature—such as looking at a broad view of mountains or up at the billions of stars in the night sky. “Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that goes beyond your understanding of the world,” said Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley.
At the University of Chicago’s Human Nature and Potentials Lab, research has shown that children over the age of four can perceive and respond to awe-inspiring experiences. This early sense of awe influences their motivation for learning and self-perception. When exposed to awe-inspiring visuals, such as vast natural scenes or natural disasters, children feel a “small self” compared to their feelings after viewing everyday nature imagery, which makes them more motivated to explore things that interest them and to understand things in the world that they hadn’t learnt much about yet.
While awe is a highly personal experience, evidence suggests that it has significant social effects. In one experiment, participants who were asked to stand staring at tall trees for a minute were more likely to help others than those who looked at a building, suggesting that being in an awe-inspiring environment increases morality and reduces feelings of self-centredness.
“This is especially critical in the age of social media,” said Dr Keltner. “We are at this cultural moment of self-centredness, criticism, and entitlement (优越感); awe gets us out of that. It does this by helping us get out of our own heads and realise our place in the larger context, our communities,” he explained. “Might awe cause people to become more invested in the greater good, giving more to charity, volunteering to help others, or doing more to reduce their impact on the environment Our research would suggest that the answer is yes.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了敬畏感的定义、来源、对儿童学习动力的影响及其在社交层面的积极作用。
(　 　)32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The definition of awe experiences.

A
【解析】 段落大意题。通读第一段内容可知,本段讲述了敬畏体验通常与对某种巨大或强大的事物的感知有关,并引用了加州大学伯克利分校的心理学家Dacher Keltner的话,对敬畏进行了定义。由此可知,本段主要讲述的是敬畏体验的定义。
(　 　)33. What do we know about children who experience awe
A. They may lose confidence in themselves.
B. They tend to perform better in their studies.
C. They will know more about natural disasters.
D. They are more interested in exploring the world.
D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When exposed to awe-inspiring visuals…which makes them more motivated to explore things that interest them and to understand things in the world that they hadn’t learnt much about yet.”可知,体验到敬畏的孩子会对探索世界更感兴趣。
(　 　)34. What can be inferred about awe according to Dr Keltner
A. It can improve people’s physical health.
B. It has a positive impact on people’s behaviour.
C. It encourages us to reflect on our culture.
D. It assists people to shape their critical thinking.
B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Dr Keltner所说的话可知,在社交媒体时代,人们处于以自我为中心、爱批评和有优越感的文化氛围,而敬畏能让人们摆脱这种状态,帮助人们跳出自我,这表明敬畏对人们的行为有积极的影响。
(　 　)35. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text
A. Awe Perception in Early Childhood
B. Awe’s Role in the Age of Social Media　
C. The Power of Awe Drives Us out of Self-Centre
D. Awe-Inspiring Experiences Push People to Learn

根据短文内容,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。
There’s little scientific agreement on how much money is enough to make humans happy. 　36　 After that, higher incomes don’t necessarily lead to greater happiness. But other research finds no such cutoff point. Money may not be a path to absolute joy, but it can certainly help. Here are a few research-supported suggestions on how to get the most happiness out of your spending:
Experiences Make Us Happier Than Things
Gilovich, a psychology professor at Cornell University, says that buying an experience will probably result in more happiness than buying new things.
　37　 That’s great for surviving after a major negative change or the loss of a sense like sight or smell. But that adaptation is not so helpful if you’re looking to enhance your well-being. Humans will soon get used to a new dining table or a fancier car. But experiences remain novel and connect us to other people.
Beyond that, our tendency to compare material objects is greater than our tendency to compare experiences. It’s easy to compare the size of a house or the price of clothing. 　38　 “You build your experience around you,” says Gilovich, which means you get your own, unique memories to treasure and your own social connections to develop.
Time Is Worth the Money
Don’t want to clean your bathroom Hate cleaning out the car 　39　 A study published in PNAS in 2017 found that buying time for activities you enjoy brings consistent emotional rewards.
Spend on Others
Like spending on experiences, “prosocial” spending helps build social connections.　40　 Social psychologist Lara Aknin notes that giving creates a positive cycle. She says, “Giving to others makes us happy. The happier you are, the more likely you are to do it again.”
A. But experiences are often more personal.
B. This includes giving to charity or treating a friend.
C. That doesn’t mean money can solve all one’s problems.
D. For one thing, humans have a habit of adapting to new situations.
E. Most people fall into one of the two groups, the researchers found.
F. One 2010 study suggests an annual income of $75,000 is the magic number.
G. If you can afford to buy your way out of the tasks you most dislike, you should.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了金钱与幸福感之间的关系,并提供了几条基于研究的建议,帮助人们通过合理消费获得更多的幸福感。
36. F　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据下文中的“After that, higher incomes don’t necessarily lead to greater happiness. But other research finds no such cutoff point.”可知,收入较高并不一定意味着幸福感更强,但其他研究并未发现存在这样的临界点,空格处会提到关于金钱与幸福关系的一个具体观点或研究,选项F“一项2010年的研究表明,每年75,000美元的收入是一个神奇的数字”符合语境。
37. D　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据下文可知,本段主要说明了适应能力对经历重大负面变化或失去感官功能有帮助,但对提升幸福感作用有限,空格处需要引出人类对新情况的适应这一话题,选项D“一方面,人类有适应新环境的习惯”引出下文,符合语境。
38. A　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。空格前提到了物质的比较,房子的大小或衣服的价格很容易比较,空格后提到人会围绕自身积累经验,拥有属于自己的独特体验,空格处会提到经历与物质对象的不同之处,经历较偏个人化,选项A“但经历往往更个人化”符合语境。
39. G　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据本段小标题Time is Worth the Money及上文中的两个问句可知,空格处需要给出这些问题的建议或解决方案,选项G“如果你有能力花钱摆脱你最不喜欢的任务,那你就应该这么做”符合语境。
40. B　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据上文中的“‘prosocial’ spending helps build social connections”可知,“利他性”消费有助于建立社会联系,空格处会提到“利他性”具体有哪些方面,选项B“这包括捐给慈善机构或招待朋友”符合语境。

As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 　41　 out at home with even the simplest things.
Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother
　42　 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of 　43　. Given the fact that my mum had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 　44　 my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very 　45　 to help her bring the groceries into the house.　46　 I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the rest for Mum as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.
Don’t get me wrong: Even back in my room, I felt 　47　. about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my way. But I also realised that once I did change, there’d be no going back. Once I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 　48　 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would mark something much bigger: my change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more 　49　, caring and giving young man.
I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 　50　 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the
　51　, I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt deep and burning shame.Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and 　52　 back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the 　53　 I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mum and Dad realised they could 　54　 me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 　55　 out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sam was from a poor family. After graduating from university, he managed to find a high-paying job working in a reputable company. As his salary was very important for him to support his family, he worked very hard, devoting himself to his
tasks and always ready to assist others. Nevertheless, he had a shortcoming—he was often late for work, which had caused some minor losses for the company on previous occasions, although the damages were relatively insignificant. However, this time, the consequences were about to become more severe.
It was a busy morning, and Sam had overslept, leading to yet another delayed start to his day. He hurriedly dressed and dashed out of the door, hoping to make up for lost time while driving. As he drove along the familiar route to work, a sense of unease settled in his mind. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something important was about to unfold.
Then, in the distance, he noticed something unusual on the side of the road. Curiosity inspired, Sam slowed down and eventually came to a stop. A group of concerned individuals had gathered around a fallen child. The little one, who was on his way to the nearby kindergarten, had suffered a serious injury from the fall. The child’s mother stood beside him, weeping in deep sorrow. Sam parked his car on the roadside, ensuring it was safely out of the way of traffic. He took a closer look at the
child, whose face seemed somewhat passion (同情) rose in his heart as he witnessed the anxiety of the mother and the pain across the child’s face.
“Is everything alright Can I help in any way ” he asked, trying to comfort the mother, who, with her eyes red and filled with tears, explained how serious the situation was. The nearest hospital was a considerable distance away, and she was unable to transport her injured child alone.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 1:
Sam decided to drive them to the hospital, even though it meant being late for work.
He skillfully drove through the busy streets, ensuring the safety and well-being of the mother and the child. An hour or so later, when he hurried back to the office from the hospital, Sam was already late. Just then, Mr Johnson, his boss, caught sight of him and wasted no time expressing his anger. He declared that Sam would be fired. Sam said, “But Mr Johnson, that’s…, that’s unfair…” Fueled by anger, Mr Johnson responded, “You’re fired right now!” Sadly, Sam left.
Paragraph 2:
However, that evening, Sam received a phone call of apology from Mr Johnson.
It turned out that the child whom Sam had rushed to the hospital was Mr Johnson’s own son. Based on his wife’s description, Mr Johnson realised that it was Sam who had selflessly aided his son. Filled with great regret for not giving Sam an opportunity to explain before firing him, Mr Johnson sincerely apologised. He extended an invitation to Sam to return to his company, acknowledging his mistake. Sam was overjoyed by the offer, realising that whoever does a good deed will never be let down.

M: Of course, I’ll check it. The room is 150 yuan per day. I stayed for 3 days. The car is rented by the day. The charge is 200 yuan per day. I used it for 2 days. I just drove to the shopping mall and the beach.
W: In any case, you’re expected to pay for extra hours and miles. I understand that you rented the car by the day, but last night you went to a concert, which means an extra charge of 100 yuan.

W: Hi, Jim. I heard that you just moved to a new place.

M: It has a balcony and an air conditioner. It’s perfect, except for my new roommate.

Fashion inspired by traditional Chinese culture is experiencing revived global interest, with designers and their collections increasingly impressing fashion show audiences. At China-France Fashion Week, held at the China Cultural Centre in Paris, designers showed 30 outfits (服装), each presenting the cultural heritage of Quanzhou, a coastal city in East China’s Fujian Province, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021.
“The event promoted a dialogue between tradition and modernity, Eastern and Western aesthetics (美学),” said designer Meng Yueming, 33. Borrowing elements (元素) of the city’s heritage, including zanhua, the traditional dress of Hui’an women, local tea culture, and architecture, Meng mixed traditional and modern elements into his designs.
Describing the show as “fantastic”, Isabelle Lawson, executive director of the French International Art Salon, said it was a “brilliant” idea for the designers to transform Quanzhou’s landmarks and architecture into the designs.
The week was designed to deepen China-France cultural exchange and strengthen cooperation in the cultural and creative industries between China and France.
“Before this show, my understanding of traditional culture was superficial, but when I dug deeper, I found a treasure in front of me to explore,” Meng said, adding that he felt that using Chinese elements is important for native designers and companies to go global.
Meng’s experience highlights how an increasing number of designers are drawing on their heritage and cultural traditions while celebrating their own cultural identity. For Meng, it is a good time for Chinese designers to find their voice on the global stage, and to show how rich and graceful Chinese fashion can be today.

Human beings’ curiosity about outer space hasn’t declined in the past decade, and with Jeff Bezos’ historic commercial flight to the edge of space this past summer, dreamers are that much closer to experiencing the Galaxy (银河系) for themselves.
It’s reported that one company is aiming to make space a reality for people, and is pioneering a new age of space tourism. In 2019, the California-based company Gateway Foundation first explored the idea. Its dream was to make visiting space, in excellent accommodation, a future vacation choice. The project, now called Voyager Station, is run by Orbital Assembly Corporation, a construction company led by head of the Gateway Foundation and former pilot, John Blincow.
Space tourism draws closer as Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to build the world’s first to space hotel named “Voyager Station”, which is expected to open in 2027. With a date in close sight, the hotel’s architects and engineers are hard at work, aiming to design an out-of-this-world experience. They plan to decorate the suites with elegant
bars and restaurants with a touch of space, as well as Earth-viewing lounges (休息处) and unique space food treats. The team is also taking advantage of the reduced gravity that will be felt in the station to plan to let their guests weightlessly carry heavy objects, jump higher or run faster in ways people can’t normally do on Earth.
Gravity will remain in the rooms and bars though because Voyager Station’s scientific design makes it possible by creating artificial gravity within the hotel. The hotel is designed as a wheel that will steadily move and create simulated (模拟的) gravitational force, much like when a glass of water is spun around, the water doesn’t pour out. The hotel’s guests won’t feel much different than being on a huge ship steadily moving.

Every great idea begins with a spark (火花) of realisation—and for Snehha Naarsaria, an accountant and a mum in Portugal, that spark came from her own home.
Financial literacy (素养) is no longer a skill reserved for adults; it is becoming a fundamental part of a child’s education. But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected. There were no engaging tools, no reliable resources, and no clear way to introduce these essential skills to a young mind. This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born.
Fin Free Kid is an innovative initiative that equips children with essential money management skills through appealing books, flashcards, DIY kits, posters, and an immersive (沉浸式的) course. It offers comprehensive learning resources which cover different aspects of financial literacy. The resources aren’t just about teaching—they’re about empowering kids to think independently, make informed decisions, and develop habits that will serve them for life.
With a strong focus on quality and customer satisfaction, the programme has earned widespread praise for its exceptional service and transformative impact on young learners. Parents have reported a noticeable shift in their children’s attitudes and behaviours after using Fin Free Kid’s products. Many children have developed the habit of saving money and learnt to make more thoughtful spending choices. A feature in The Economic Times described Fin Free Kid as “a pioneer in financial education for kids, bridging the gap in a crucial area of learning”.
With its growing popularity and the trust of parents across Portugal, Fin Free Kid plans to introduce advanced resources for older children and expand its partnerships with schools to integrate financial literacy into courses. “Our mission is to ensure that every child has the tools and knowledge to deal with the complexities of the financial world, ” says Snehha Naarsaria, “The changes we’ve seen in children so far are just the beginning. Together, we’re building financially literate generations.”

【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected…This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born.”可知,Snehha Naarsaria发现适合儿童的财务管理教育资源较为缺乏,这促使她创立了Fin Free Kid。

A. Academic theories.
B. Integrative competence.
C. Reading techniques.
D. Communication ability.
B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,Fin Free Kid项目不仅教授知识,还培养孩子的综合能力,包括独立思考、做出明智决策和养成良好习惯。

What sort of decisions we make determines who we really are. Living with integrity feels good, and once we get better at it, our careers and personal lives can develop better.
What does integrity actually mean Integrity is the ability to live your life depending on your own ethics (道德标准) and morals. 　36　 Besides that, you must also know what you intend to do with your life and what your purpose is.
Here are a few approaches to developing and maintaining integrity!
Identify your values clearly.
The first step to developing your integrity is to identify your values. Every person has a set of values that they live by. You must acknowledge them as you go further in life. 　37　
Assess each and every choice.
　38　 Practising integrity means making the right decision no matter what. Some seemingly right decisions that we make in life could be incredibly terrible for some. Honesty and integrity aren’t something that you must practise when it is convenient for you. You must always be like that whatever the circumstances are.
　39　
Always find ways to employ your ethics and morals in everyday life. We learn so many great things in childhood, some of which are habits that we follow for our whole life. Practising integrity is just like that, you would just be practising your everyday life but with more analysis.
Integrity not merely involves consistency. 　40　 We must not always do what comes naturally to us because it is our nature to stay away from difficulties. We must find the courage within ourselves to face all the difficulties in life, only then will we become successful.
A. Employ your ethics in the real situation.
B. Sometimes we have to face the unavoidable.
C. Always remember that your choices define you ultimately.
D. Sometimes we need to decide what we want to achieve in life.
E. To have integrity, you must clearly know what is right and wrong.
F. No matter what happens, you will never go against your core values.
G. There are circumstances where it is difficult to distinguish right and wrong.

In my memory, my father went to work every day, rain or shine. He rarely 　44　 a day, even if others could not. Meanwhile he had to bear the unkind laughter from others. When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much 　45　 it must have taken him to make a living under such 　46　. Although disabled, my father still tried to take part in activities in his own way. When a baseball team didn’t have a manager, he kept it 　47　. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to the 　48　. He also liked to go to parties, where he could have a good time 　49　 sitting and watching.

that is a proper rule by which to 　54　 people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. Sometimes I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, and how I
　55　 it. At such times I would put my hand on his arm to get my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to stay with you.”

The Chain of Kindness
Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua, a student of Senior 1, feeling greatly privileged to be here to share my understanding of the act of kindness and its significance in our lives.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To me, a good deed is not just an act of kindness but a reflection of one’s character and a simple gesture that has a profound impact on others. Last year, I encountered a senior citizen struggling to carry her groceries. Without hesitation, I offered to help her. Her grateful smile and heartfelt thanks left a lasting impression on me, reminding me that even the smallest acts of kindness can bring immense happiness to others.
I sincerely hope that everyone can recognise the power of morals and virtues and embody them in action.
That’s all, thank you!

第二节　读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A week before Halloween, my young children wild with great happiness were walking and running around our home in their Halloween costumes. Just then the babysitter called, telling me that she was extremely sorry for asking for a day off. I knew
that emergencies did occur, and I told her that I completely understood. But what was actually going through my mind was feelings of frustration and self-pity. And I had to pack my three kids into the car, and then drove to the hospital.
On the way, numerous things flooded into my mind, and I especially thought about how life should be going. I was thirty years old, a mother of three girls—five-year-old twins and a one-year-old baby. At this moment, I should be playing with them in the park or visiting the library together. But I was, once again, going to see the doctor. It had been a year since I was diagnosed with cancer. I knew that I was one of the lucky ones. I was grateful that surgery and chemotherapy (化疗) were over, and
this was just a routine blood test. As always, there was the remaining fear that the cancer would come back. To be honest, my family and friends were great during the past year when I was in bad condition, but they were also busy with their lives. Therefore, I did not want to burden them with my feelings of unhappiness. What I just wanted to see was the positive things in life and I really wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to them.
When we finally arrived, we sat in a crowded waiting room. Nothing special occurred until my youngest daughter, dressed up as an angel, walked up to a woman who was in a wheelchair and accompanied by her caregiver. My daughter looked at the woman and pointed to the vending (售货) machine next to her, saying sweetly, “Tweet.” This was how she said “Trick or Treat”, which had been coached previously by her twin sisters.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Surprisingly, the woman, a complete stranger to us, knew exactly what my daughter meant.
She asked her caregiver to take her to the vending machine. Using her trembling right hand, the woman put enough money into the machine, and then handed each of my girls a treat. This act caused a series of acts of purchasing things on the vending machine. Soon, many people waiting for doctors had a candy bar or a bag of chips ready for the “Trick or Treat”. My kids were delighted at their good fortune.

Paragraph 2:
My daughters thanked everyone who gave them treats.
They were very happy, smiling, singing and dancing in the waiting room. When seeing this, everyone in the room was smiling with satisfaction. Gradually, laughter and happiness filled all the corners of the room. I was touched by the scene. Facing unknown health problems, these strangers still thought of giving my three little daughters some Halloween fun. I realised how kind and generous these people were, and I felt extremely grateful to those Halloween heroes.
