【答案解析】
A篇主题语境：人与社会——校园活动
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲的是一项面向学生的征文比赛，介绍了比赛目标、参赛资格、提交材料要求及截止日期等具体信息。
第21题.D 细节理解。解析：根据“Contest Goals”部分的第一点“Provide applicants with an opportunity to become familiar with a journal’s manuscript submission requirements and peer-review process”可知，比赛能让申请人熟悉期刊的投稿要求和同行评审流程，这是在为他们未来在期刊上发表文章做准备。故选D。
第22题.C 细节理解。解析：根据“Qualification”部分第一条可知，申请人必须是目前在校的高中生、本科生、研究生或医学生，因此在校高中生符合资格。故选C。
第23题.C 细节理解。解析：根据“Cover Letter”部分可知，申请人必须提交包含导师姓名及联系方式的附信，因此带有导师信息的附信符合提交要求。故选C。
B篇主题语境：人与社会——社会服务与公益活动
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一个名为GoodGym的组织将体育锻炼与社区志愿服务相结合，倡导“通过做好事来健身”的理念，并介绍了其起源、发展及创始人的看法。
第24题.D 写作意图。解析：文章开头描写跑步者在花园里劳作的情景，是为了引出后文“This is GoodGym in action. It’s a growing movement...”，即介绍一种将健身与志愿活动结合的新趋势。故选D。
第25题.B 细节理解。解析：第二段明确提到GoodGym邀请人们“get fit by doing good”，将身体活动与动手进行社区服务相融合，其核心价值是在锻炼的同时帮助他人。故选B。
第26题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三、四段，Gormley开始跑步送报时觉得自己身体走样且想念团队的友谊，但促使他创建该组织的直接灵感是他对传统锻炼方式的反思——“I thought I could do something more useful in my exercise.”。身体状况是背景，深层动因在于对锻炼用途的思考。故选D。
第27题.A 推理判断。解析：最后一段Gormley说“这就是人们过去一直做的……通过种植和挖掘的动作，你就是在种植食物。那就是你锻炼的来源。”这表明GoodGym的理念契合那种将劳动与锻炼自然结合的原始生活方式，即符合一种自然生活的观念。故选A。
C篇主题语境：人与自我——健康生活与理性决策
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了人们普遍存在的“自然性偏见”，通过研究说明这种偏见会导致错误判断和风险选择，并在最后提出避免偏见的实用建议。
第28题.D 词义猜测。解析：第二段划线词所在句“the affinity for nature might help us... But it can also badly lead us in the wrong way”意为对自然的这种……有时有帮助，但也可能严重误导我们。下文紧接着说明人们表现出对天然选项的喜爱，即使它们并不更好。由此推断，affinity指的是对自然的“偏爱、喜好”，与preference同义。故选D。
第29题.B 推理判断。解析：文中研究显示，人们会因“天然”标签而认为香烟危害小，或者宁愿选择更不安全、效果更差的天然药物，即仅凭“天然”就盲目偏好。B项“拒绝所有合成药物”体现的是不管实际情况一味偏好天然，典型反映了自然性偏见。故选B。
第30题.C 作者观点态度。解析：文章第二段指出对自然的偏好“can also badly lead us in the wrong way”，第三段具体说明自然性偏见会导致多付钱、过量摄入高脂高糖食品、降低遵循医嘱的意愿等风险选择。由此可见，作者认为这种偏见是“误导性的”(misleading)。故选C。
第31题.B 写作意图。解析：最后一段首句提出记住这种偏见并与人讨论有助于预防它，随后指出查阅可靠来源、咨询合格专家可以帮助做出基于数据的决定，避免被简单标签欺骗。这些都是为读者提供的实用性建议，而非单纯呼吁关注、展示风险或比较不同情形。故选B。
D篇主题语境：人与社会—— 科学发现与技术创新
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是：SETI 研究所的研究表明，受恒星风影响，外星智能生命发出的无线电信号到达地球时会变弱、变宽，不再是人们之前预期的尖锐信号，这导致过去的搜寻可能漏掉了这些信号，但也意味着未来的外星生命搜寻成功的概率更高了。
第32题.C 细节理解题。解析：文章开头提到“we have been watching for the wrong type of signal”，第三段也说明，此前预期的外星信号是“a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range”，但新研究发现，信号穿过恒星风后会变弱、变宽，不再是预期的形式，因此研究人员可能没能识别出这些信号。故选C。
第33题.A 细节理解。解析：文章第三段明确说明，信号穿过恒星风后，会“made fainter and wider in the frequency band—essentially blurred slightly”，即信号强度变弱(fainter)、频率范围变宽(wider)，原本尖锐的窄峰变成了更平缓、更宽的峰。A图中，BEFORE是尖锐的窄峰，AFTER是变宽、变低的平缓峰，完全符合信号 “变弱、变宽” 的变化，故选A。
第34题.A 段落主旨题。解析：第4段介绍了Vishal Gajjar和Grayce Brown的研究过程：先计算恒星风对太阳系内航天器无线电传输的影响，再将其推导到其他恒星环境，最终得出信号会变宽、低于传统检测阈值的结论。整段围绕 “新发现是如何得出的” 展开。故选 A。
第35题.B 观点态度题。解析：文章最后一段中John Elliott表示，他认为这件事是“the glass being half-full, not half-empty”，即虽然过去的搜寻可能漏掉了证据，但“future searches will be more likely to succeed”，说明他认为未来的搜寻会有更多成果。故选 B。
七选五主题语境：人与自我——个人成长与情绪管理
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了不确定性的诸多益处，如激发动力与好奇心、助人专注当下、包容复杂性与“灰色地带”，并鼓励人们学会拥抱生活中的未知。
第36题.A 上下文逻辑衔接与转折关系。解析：空前一句指出，自穴居人时代起，人类对确定性的渴望就强烈到容易被忽视；空后则说“我们永远不知道会发生什么，许多事情不可知”，直接陈述生活充满未知这一事实。显然，此处需要一个转折，将“渴望确定性”与“现实充满不确定性”连接起来。选项A“然而，生活是不确定的”起到承上启下的作用，完美贴合语境。故选A。
第37题.D 段落主旨句与概括能力。解析：空格位于段首，通常是段落主题句。该段后续内容提到，不确定性驱动我们去工作、玩耍和探索，激发我们对所见所思所感的探索，甚至伟大的发明也源于此。这些内容都在说明不确定性具有激励和引发好奇心的作用。选项D“不确定性激励我们并鼓励好奇心”准确地概括了全段大意。故选D。
第38题.F 段落总结与反向论证。解析：空格在段尾，需要对前文进行总结或强化。前文一直举例说明不确定性如何驱动生活，并且提到“伟大的发明就源于单纯的好奇”。此空前文也用假设句说“如果我们对一切都确定，那么过日常生活会很难”。选项F“简而言之，没有不确定性，生活会相当无聊！”是对该段内容从反面进行的概括总结，与假设句呼应，收束全段有力。故选F。
第39题.C 句际衔接与代词指代。解析：空前一句说“我们常常觉得‘知道’会让我们感觉更好；但这只是一个假设。” 这是一个观点。空后则转换话题，说“在追求确定性的过程中，我们常常会做所谓的‘灾难规划’……我们认识到灾难规划对我们没有好处。”中间这个第39空需要对前面的“假设”进行承接和判断，才能自然过渡。选项C“有时确实如此，有时则不然”中的“it”指代空前句子的情形“knowing will make us feel better”，逻辑通顺，承上启下。故选C。
第40题.G 段落主题句支撑与同义解释。解析：空格位于段中，是段首主题句“不确定性允许灰色地带存在”之后的第一句展开论述。空后进一步阐释道，我们常被“非黑即白”的思维困扰，“不确定性允许两者同时成立”，并且能解释神秘现象。因此，空格句应具体说明不确定性带来的这一好处，即创造出更多理解上的可能性。选项G“不确定性为我们理解事物创造了更多可能性”与前后文高度吻合，直接支撑了“灰色地带”这一主题。故选G。
完形填空主题语境：人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者团队在接待一位来自北非的听障客户时，起初想当然地准备了美式手语翻译，后意识到不妥，便深入了解其独特需求，最终找到精通其特定手语的翻译，体现了真正的包容是理解个体的独特需求。

On a cold and wet evening in south London, a group of runners are doing something a little different. There are no exercise machines or gym mirrors in sight. Instead, they’re moving earth, clearing weeds, and smiling through the mud on a garden. Their warm-up was a one-mile jog through the city to get there.
This is GoodGym in action. It’s a growing movement that’s redefining what it means to work out. The organization invites people to “get fit by doing good”, blending physical activity with hands-on community service. Members run, walk, or cycle to local projects that could range from sorting cans at a food bank, planting fruit trees, visiting an older adult, or moving furniture for someone in need.
The idea began back in 2007 when founder Ivo Gormley started running to deliver a newspaper to an elderly neighbor. At the time, he was feeling out of shape and missed the friendship of his old basketball team.
“I just didn’t like that idea of going to a gym, going into a basement and lifting things that don’t really need lifting,” Gormley said. “I thought I could do something more useful in my exercise.”
He started organizing runs to places in need of helping hands. The very first group tore down outdated posters in his east London neighborhood. Since then, GoodGym has grown into a registered charity with over 26,000 members in 67 locations. Now it’s aiming to expand into Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Though few other organizations blend exercise and volunteering in quite the same way, Gormley believes the concept taps into something timeless. “It’s what people have always done, right ” he said. “You grow some food literally through the action of planting and digging. That’s where your exercise comes from.”
24. Why does the author describe the runners working on a garden
A. To applaud their efforts. B. To describe a tough task.
C. To compare different exercises. D. To introduce a new tendency.
25. What is the core value of GoodGym
A. Diversifying fitness methods. B. Lending a hand during workouts.
C. Professionalizing volunteer work. D. Standardizing community service.
26. What inspired Gormley to start the organization
A. His personal failure. B. His physical condition.
C. Influences from other runners. D. His reflection on workouts.
27. What does Gormley imply about GoodGym in the last paragraph
A. It matches the idea of a natural lifestyle.
B. It highlights the benefits of physical labor.
C. It fills the gap in traditional physical training.
D. It acts as an ideal alternative for modern gyms.
C
Most of us love natural things:the taste of raw fruits and vegetables, the warmth of the sun on our skin, etc.
Often, we’re given a choice between certain things—such as foods, medicines or procedures—that are considered natural, and alternatives that are considered synthetic（合成的）or artificial, where the term “natural” refers to the absence of any form of human intervention. Here, too, the affinity for nature might help us some of the time. But it can also badly lead us in the wrong way.
It seems that many of us have a tendency toward natural-is-better thinking. A recent research shows that people routinely demonstrate a naturalness bias. That is, they exhibit a fondness for natural options even when those options are not objectively better. For instance, in one study, participants tended to perceive cigarettes as less harmful if they were labelled “natural”, even though research does not support that perception. In another study, it was found that the majority of participants preferred a natural drug for treatment—and about 20% to 30% preferred it even when it was said to be less safe or less effective than a synthetic alternative.
The naturalness bias could lead to risky choices. People might needlessly pay more for the same kind of product when it’s described as “natural”. Someone might eat more of a food that’s high in fat and sugar just because it’s considered natural and therefore perceived as healthier. Furthermore, naturalness bias may reduce people’s willingness to follow medical experts’ advice on vaccines and other treatments.
Encouragingly, though, keeping in mind the naturalness bias and discussing it with others may help prevent it when making decisions. It may not matter much whether you unconsciously prefer an overpriced “natural” cleaning product. Yet it could matter greatly if your loved one is thinking of replacing synthetic treatment with supposedly “natural” one. In cases like these, putting in the time to read reliable sources and speak with qualified experts can help point to a decision that’s based on data, rather than a deceptively simple label.
28. What does the underlined word “affinity” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Respect. B. Demand. C. Curiosity. D. Preference.
29. Which of the following is a typical example of “naturalness bias”
A. Avoiding pre-prepared food.
B. Rejecting all synthetic medicine.
C. Enjoying natural light to get vitamins.
D. Choosing organic apples for better tastes.
30. What does the author think of “naturalness bias”
A. Unexpected. B. Uncommon. C. Misleading. D. Misunderstood.
31. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A. To call for more attention. B. To offer practical advice.
C. To show the risks of naturalness bias. D. To compare different situations.
D
WE MAY have been missing signals from intelligent aliens（外星人）because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for the wrong type of signal, potentially failing to spot promising evidence of alien life, but the chances of a future discovery are now higher.
The not-for-profit organisation carries out research to help prove the existence of alien life, which includes listening for radio signals from outer space that cannot be explained by natural cosmological phenomena.
Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp; distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band—essentially blurred slightly—as they pass through the stellar（恒星）winds of stars.
Vishal Gajjar and Grayce Brown at the SETI Institute calculated the scale of the effect on radio transmissions（传输）from spacecraft in our own solar system, and then extrapolated that to other stellar environments. They found that a 100-megahertz signal could be widened as much as 100 hertz—enough to“fall below traditional detection thresholds”. A space weather event can similarly increase the amount of broadening experienced by a signal to a significant degree.
John Elliott at the University of St Andrews, UK, says he sees the news as the glass being half-full, not half-empty:it means previous searches may have missed evidence, but also means that future searches will be more likely to succeed. “It’s over 50 years that we’ve been actively searching and that’s a blink of the eye, isn’t it, when you think about it,” says Elliott.
32. Why have researchers possibly failed to receive signals from intelligent aliens
A. The signals cannot reach the Earth.
B. Their equipment was not advanced enough.
C. The signals did not appear in the expected form.
D. Space weather events prevented the signal traveling.
33. How is the alien signal affected by the stellar winds of stars
A B
C D
(Note: Plots show relative changes in signal width and strength, not absolute values. )
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How the new findings were reached. B. How spacecraft send radio signals.
C. What affects radio signal transmission. D. What helped researchers make progress.
35. Which statement does John Elliott probably agree with
A. Much progress has been made so far. B. Future discoveries will be fruitful.

From the time of the cavemen, we have always sought certainty. This desire for certainty is so strong that it can go unnoticed. _____36_____ We never know what will happen, and many things are unknowable. This can make us feel stressed or worried, since the unknown is associated with danger. Most of us think of being uncertain as a weakness or even a flaw. Actually there are many benefits to allowing ourselves to be unsure about what’s happening or what will happen.
_____37_____ If we were certain of everything, it would be pretty hard for us to live our daily lives. Uncertainty drives us to work, play, and explore. It inspires us to explore what we see, think, and feel. Great inventions have been discovered due to simply wondering. _____38_____
Uncertainty keeps us present. Uncertainty allows us to settle in the unknown. We often feel that knowing will make us feel better; however, this is an assumption. 39 In the pursuit of certainty, we can often do something called disaster planning. Knowing that uncertainty exists, we can recognize that disaster planning doesn’t serve us. And when we find ourselves there we can compassionately bring ourselves back to enjoying the present moment.
Uncertainty allows for grey. _____40_____ We can often be troubled by thinking a situation or person has to be one thing or the other; this is called black and white thinking. Uncertainty allows for the grey to exist, that both can be true. Acknowledging there is uncertainty helps explain phenomena that would otherwise remain a mystery.
So the next time you find yourself seeking certainty, take some time—even a second—to lean in. Be curious about what you’re experiencing. You might be surprised what you find!
A. However, life is uncertain.
B. Uncertainty allows us to uncover mistakes.
C. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't.
D. Uncertainty motivates us and encourages curiosity.
E. It also offers chances to connect question and answer.
F. Put simply, life would be pretty boring without uncertainty!
G. Uncertainty creates more possibilities for us in understanding.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When we learned that a young client from Northern Africa would be arriving with a hearing disability, we did what seemed natural. We __41__ our local partners and arranged for an American Sign Language (ASL) __42__ to be present upon arrival. It was a reasonable response, but it wasn’t the __43__ one. And we caught ourselves before it became a __44__.
ASL is the dominant sign language in the US, but it is far from the __45__ one. Across the world, hundreds of distinct sign languages have developed, each __46__ by culture, geography, and community. A person with a hearing disability who grew up in North Africa almost certainly did not grow up __47__ in ASL.
Our team contacted the client’s family to understand how this person __48__. The conversations took time, but we got a clear picture of this individual’s __49__ communication needs. We began searching for a __50__ interpreter fluent in that specific language. It wasn’t __51__, but after extensive outreach, we found a university professor with exactly the expertise（专长）we needed.
By the time our client __52__, everything was in place. The professor was at the airport to greet him and remained with him. From the moment he arrived, he had someone who could really __53__ him.
Inclusion is not a checkbox. It is not __54__ “an interpreter” and moving on. It is asking whose interpreter, in which language, for which community. It is recognizing that disability, culture, and communication are __55__ and that no two people’s needs are the same.

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。
My best friend, Helen, and I were on our way to Blackburn to catch up with an old university friend who had recently moved there for work. Thrilled to see each other, and basking in the prospect of the party weekend ahead, we chatted nonstop as we made our way by train from York.
We placed our bags—full of essentials such as bottles of wine and my new pair of black clogs—above our heads and settled down in a cosy two-seater. About 50 minutes into our journey, I was faintly aware of a bang. Then came another, this time impossible to ignore. A woman screamed as our carriage（车厢）was thrown up into the air in what felt like slow motion. Suddenly, Helen and I were somehow on our feet in the middle of the passage, hugging each other. Head down, eyes tightly shut, I waited for the carriage to roll over and burst into flames, as I’d seen in films. I remember thinking about our families and friends getting the news.
After what seemed like ages, I opened my eyes. The carriage was in a mess. Helen and I escaped with injuries and aches from the impact of being thrown forward in the carriage. A fellow passenger sat down heavily on Helen’s case, causing it to burst open.
“Don’t look round,” Helen shouted suddenly. But it was too late. I saw a man with his face bleeding. A metal object had crashed through the window behind us. Soon, we learned a runaway digger had rolled down the hill and into the side of the train, causing us to derail（脱轨）. Our carriage was stuck with its front end in the air. Seeing the chaos and terrified faces all around, I was shocked and couldn’t help shaking.
