一、完形填空
Years ago I was visiting Naples with my daughter. On our first day there, she was 1 to go for a walk down to the port, so we dropped our bags at the accommodation and set off to explore.
I was feeling quite exhausted after the flight, and while walking down a steep cobblestone street, I 2 . I flew through the air and fell 3 on the ground, face first. For some reason, the instinct to put my hands out to cushion the fall hadn’t 4 , so I landed straight on my chin. I knew immediately that my jaw was broken — I’d heard the awful crack. Before long, blood was gushing down my face.
My daughter helped me get up and a crowd gathered to help. One of those people was an Italian woman, who opened her handbag and took out a pristine white 5 with a lace trim. She handed it to me and said: “Use this to clean up the blood.” I protested, saying I didn’t want to ruin it, but she 6 . Before long the ambulance came and I was rushed off to hospital.
Her kind act was the best thing that happened to me on an 7 terrible day. I’ve learned that bad things happen in life, but, sometimes, good things will come from them that take the edge off. This was one of those times.
What that lovely woman did was so unobtrusive, offered without 8 of anything in return. Oddly, it was the futility of her gesture that made it so impactful — she was 9 something beautiful just to mop up some blood.

It had been a week since we moved to New York. On the way to a picnic at Yaddo Gardens, I complained, “New school, no friends, nothing to do. I hate it!” Mom and Dad exchanged glances, sighing, as the silent car wound into the shady path.
“We’re here!” my dad said, attempting enthusiasm. We laid out the blanket, looking at the gardens that were just starting to bloom. A number of people in green shirts and garden gloves bent over, hard at work. With a smile, a chatty woman named Vera told us about their voluntary work here. “Hey,” my dad elbowed me, “maybe you should work here!”
I rolled my eyes, but with nothing else to do, I decided to give it a try. I was there bright and early on a Tuesday morning. Entering my assigned garden, my hands struggled with a bucket and gloves. Vera introduced me to John, the head gardener, whose energy truly impressed me. At eighty-one, he still hiked mountains and bounded around with ease, cutting and clearing plants with a skill I could never have.
Over the next several months, I came to the gardens regularly. John would always be there, smiling and ready to teach me a new lesson about roses and life. During snack breaks, my new friend and I would chat and discuss everything from mountains to middle school, laughing and learning the joys of a friendship across generations.
One day I opened up about my fears for the fall. “I’m just not ready for school,” I said, biting my lip. “What if I have no friends ”
John said nothing, but took me instead to a spot overlooking the four-quadrant (象限) garden. “See these two quadrants Now look at the other two. What’s different ” I looked back and forth. “The left ones are shorter!” “Exactly. From a certain spot, all the beds look the same size. It’s called perspectivism. You can see your new school as scary, or as an opportunity. The choice is yours.”
Three months later, after I had started high school, it was time for the Yaddo Gardens volunteer celebration. I saw John — my first friend in New York — and gave him a hug. “You were right,” I said. “I just needed a little perspective.”
24. What was the main cause for Dana’s complaint
A．Her parents’ unnatural glances.
B．Her fear of the friendless new life.
C．Her boredom with the picnic plan.
D．Her father’s pretended enthusiasm.
25. Why did Dana agree to volunteer at Yaddo Gardens
A．To fill her time.
B．To please her parents.
C．To learn gardening.
D．To escape from school.
26. What role does John mainly play in Dana’s life
A．A silent listener to her school fears.
B．A reminder of her love for gardening.
C．An elderly friend offering life guidance.
D．A gardener leading her to voluntary work.
27. What can we learn from this passage
A．Where there is life, there is hope.
B．Friendship needs time to grow old.
C．Change always comes bearing gifts.
D．Everything comes to him who waits.

During a digital faculty meeting, Brian Scholl, a psychologist and cognitive scientist at Yale University, found himself reacting unexpectedly to two colleagues. One was a close collaborator with whom he usually saw eye-to-eye, while the other was someone he tended to have differing opinions from. On that particular day, though, he found himself siding with the latter. “Everything he said was so rich and resonant,” Scholl recalls.
Upon reflection, Scholl realized that there was a key difference between the two men’s messaging: the former used a junky built-in microphone on an old laptop, whereas the latter called in from a professional-grade home-recording studio. Scholl began to suspect that it was the sound quality, rather than the content of their arguments, that had swayed his judgment.
Ample research has shown that factors such as confident tones or accents influence how others perceive the speakers. In a hope to see whether this tendency would hold when the only difference was technological distortion, Scholl and his team created audio recordings in which a human voice read one of three scripts. Each script dealt with a different topic: the reader posed as a job applicant, a potential romantic partner or someone describing a car accident. Some recordings were clear; others were manipulated to sound tinny (尖细的) . “If you spend time on Zoom, you probably know tons of people who sound like this,” Scholl says. The researchers recruited 5,000 people online, each of whom listened to one script and then answered simple questions about their judgment of the speaker by rating on a continuous scale.
Across all three scripts, participants consistently rated the tinny voices as less hirable, credible and intelligent. The findings speak to the “deep power of perception,” Scholl says, and its ability to make us behave irrationally. “Everybody knows that this kind of auditory manipulation does not reflect on the person,” he says. “But our perception is operating, in some ways, autonomously from higher-level thought.”
Nadine Lavan, a psychologist at Queen Mary University of London, says the findings are somewhat expected. “But this doesn’t mean the results are not important,” she says. The study raises questions, she continues, about how much of an effect microphone quality may have in more complicated real-world settings. For example, abstract ratings of being hirable are informative, but real-life decisions include much more complex trading off of different factors.
Assuming the findings do hold in the real world, Scholl says the take-away lesson is clear: “You should really find out how you sound to other people online. And if you don’t sound good, take some remedial action,” he says.
28. It is implied in the first two paragraphs that _________.
A．Offline relationships shape judgment in digital meetings.
B．The use of microphones may give rise to differing views.
C．In-person meetings are more reliable than digital ones.
D．Technological factors may color listeners’ view.
29. What can we learn about Scholl’s research
A．The script was presented in the original voice.
B．It shows perception is subjected to logical thinking.
C．Participants believe one’s voice quality matters a lot
D．All other factors except sound quality were controlled.
30. As for Scholl’s study, which would Nadine Lavan agree
A．It is somewhat reductive yet meaningful.
B．It matters little due to lack of new insights.
C．It calls on us to check how we sound to others.
D．It challenges existing views on microphone quality.

On warm summer evenings, the groundhog who lives beneath my deck likes to look across the field. As I watch, I sometimes wonder what is on her mind while she surveys her domain. The simple explanation is that she is watching for predators. But is that all there is to it Might she also enjoy the sight of grasses swaying (摇曳) in the breeze Might she even find them beautiful We are comfortable describing these animals as having self-awareness, language-like communication, and even culture, but we hesitate to say they have a sense of beauty.
Some scientists have come to think otherwise. They see our capacity to appreciate beauty as part of a shared evolutionary inheritance. But if a capacity for beauty is widespread, what about stimuli that are considered beautiful Richard Prum, an evolutionary biologist, suggests that beauty demands “prolonged social and sensory engagement”. That engagement may have clear evolutionary benefits: an animal that hangs around on a flowering tree’s loveliness might have a better chance of remembering its location when fruiting season comes. To Prum, animals can only take aesthetic pleasure in those entities with which they have co-evolved: for example, bumblebees and the pinks of wild roses. After countless generations of evaluation and choice, those stimuli are now entrained in their brains.
Though this is an untested proposition, it’s easy to imagine how aesthetic tastes could evolve for any stimuli that are relevant to an animal’s survival. Should my groundhog neighbour enjoy beauty in a field’s swaying grasses she might have a better chance of spotting an approaching fox. Such commonalities do not mean that we are alone in our unique about human concepts of beauty. Marcos Nadal, a cognitive psychologist, suggests that we are alone in our capacity to intellectualise beauty, creating definitions and abstractions that in turn shape our evaluations.
Yet to me these distinctions are less meaningful than what we might share. Prum sees nature through a perspective of aesthetic co-evolution. This awareness adds a new dimension to conservation. “When we preserve nature,” says Prum, “we are preserving worlds in which other aesthetic pleasures can thrive.” We can also set our imaginations free to guess what other creatures find beautiful. What visual delights might birds find in the landscapes over which they fly What could a sea turtle tell us about the elegance of nearshore currents
It’s all too easy to label wild animal life as violent and fearful, and to assume that their thoughts are dominated by calculations of survival. We don’t think so much about the pleasures they take, the moments of lightness, and it cheers me up to consider that just as I find satisfaction in the sight of grasses swaying in an evening breeze, so might a groundhog.
31. Why does the author mention the groundhog in the Paragraph 1
A．To explain an image.
B．To express concerns.
C．To share a phenomenon.
D．To present an argument.
32. What does the word “entities” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．Realities.
B．Majorities.
C．Beings.
D．Settings.
33. As for Prum’s argument, the author is ______.
A．appreciative
B．doubtful
C．unconcerned
D．disapproving
34. Which would be the best title for this passage
A．Why Do We Share Evolutionary Inheritance with Animals
B．What if Animals Find Beauty in the World just like We Do
C．What’s the Point of Confirm Animals Have Aesthetic Tastes
D．How Can a Sense of Beauty Contribute to Animals’ Survival
七选五
Writing is one of the great channels of expression. It gave human thought the power to travel across centuries. But that may be changing. Writing hasn’t failed, but the conditions around it, particularly Large Language Models, have deeply changed it.
Writing is more than words on a page. 35 Behind the words is a mind trying to work something out. Writing has what I would call a biography behind it. 36 That gives the written word a kind of authority that is not only literary, but psychological. It feels connected to a person.
That connection is disappearing. Large Language Models can write. The work is often smooth and the structure is convincing. And it can be generated quite easily at a very large scale. 37 It no longer reliably signals the labor of thought. This is a critical shift. The issue here isn’t just that machines can write, but that writing itself starts to feel disconnected from the human struggle that gives it substance and worth.
Now, if writing loses some of its old authority, we may begin looking elsewhere for signs of genuine thought, such as human speech. 38 It can be challenged, and in that challenge it can be subject to interrogation (质询). If these qualities begin to matter more, authority may begin moving away from the written record and back toward live performance, toward what can be spoken and defended in the moment. That would be a cultural change, it would be a cultural one.
But we need to point out the danger as well. Presence isn’t truth. 39 The return of speech wouldn’t solve the problem but relocate it. Still, the movement itself tells us something important — it suggests that writing — from term paper to court brief — no longer feels like enough.
A．It comes from somewhere and it belongs to someone.
B．More and more contemporary writing feels oddly empty.
C．It reflects effort and the difficult mechanics of human thought.
D．And a charming speaker can mislead us just as easily as LLM.
E．In this context, writing begins to lose what made it feel substantial.
F．Writing will weaken memory by moving knowledge outside the mind.
G．A speech carries a presence that is harder to produce in the same way.

In April 2021, my grandparents’ lives were turned upside down instantly. A car drove into their home, literally. The vehicle went through the front wall of their home, through the living room, and then hit the border between the living room and kitchen.
My grandfather was standing in front of the refrigerator; the car hitting the wall threw him across the kitchen. He was in serious condition and unable to walk. We were all so worried about him. How would he deal with something so awful happening at his age
But what surprised everyone was how positive my grandfather remained throughout the entire thing. He was grateful he was alive when the accident could have quickly taken his life. He taught us that even when life gets you down, you have to be grateful for the things you do have rather than dwelling on the things you don’t have.
Even though he could not walk or function as he had previously, my grandpa found ways to become satisfied: such as reading his favorite newspaper or receiving a call from a friend or family member. He was grateful for the kind nurses, physical therapists, and other medical personnel who saved his life and helped him recover.
When something so life-changing happens to a close family member, it puts life into perspective and makes you thankful for the little things in life. Meanwhile, all the little things that used to stress us out suddenly don’t matter in the large scheme of things. Anything can happen, and finding things that make you happy every day is essential.

Dear Jim,
I’m glad you’re curious about the global trend “Becoming Chinese”. To me, it stands for a mild, balanced lifestyle rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and simple pleasures.
We value keeping warm by drinking hot water, eating light congee and slowing down to enjoy daily moments. This lifestyle helps relieve stress, improve physical health and build inner peace, which explains its popularity worldwide.
Hope you can experience such relaxing Chinese life someday.
Yours,
Li Hua
