一、语法填空
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.
The Trouble with Friends
On a daily basis, I teach kids. By “kids”, I mean teens to college-age, sometimes mid-twenties. Kids talk a lot about their friends, but don’t usually talk about their families. Sometimes I’m taken completely by surprise when, months into our knowing each other, a student mentions ___1___ (have) a twin. I suppose hearing the constant chatter about friends has made me consider my own, and how hard it can be ___2___ (maintain) these bonds as an adult. Mostly, what I notice is that I lose more friends than I make.
An obvious reason for that is marriage. Friends get married and their spouses become their ___3___ (close) friends. My husband is now the person I spend the most time with. I tell him everything because I trust him with my thoughts, ___4___ stupid they may be. I used to be the same way with friends, but when I tell friends something now, I must accept the possibility that they will tell their spouses, ___5___ I often greet but rarely know. A friendship is truly strained when you don’t like the spouse. Sometimes this new person is so far removed from ___6___ you imagined for your friend that you wonder if you knew your friend at all.
After marriage, a friend who used to discuss things with you stops doing so, and ___7___ (update) you only on definitive good news, never the bad, the ugly, or the in-progress. She saves all of that for her partner. In other words, you’re no longer included in the problem-solving. Of course, some matters belong first ___8___ the marriage: the stuff of intimacy, finance, family. Increasingly, my friends leave me out of these big conversations, and vice versa, but when ___9___ outcome is certain, we do update one another, which reminds us that we’re still friends, but with the friendship ___10___ (reduce) to a PowerPoint.
二、选词填空

A. appealing B. bargains C. credited D. identical E. intentionally F. items G. limited H. missteps I. pioneered J. gratefully K. scored
Dupes are wearing out Lululemon Athletica
Dupes are the products that cost less than the premium (高端的) versions but are of similar style and quality. Less expensive versions of premium products have become a(n) ___11___ alternative, particularly for younger shoppers.
That is becoming a problem for Lululemon Athletica, the company that ___12___ high- end sportswear and made $100 leggings the norm.
“The brand logo doesn’t hold as much appeal as it used to,” said Mikayla Kitsopoulos, a 22- year- old college student. “Finding ___13___ is the new status symbol.” When Kitsopoulos was in high school, she wore Lululemon leggings, which cost about $100. Now, she buys her leggings on Amazon for about $30. She said the quality and fit is almost ___14___, so why pay more
The heightened competition comes as Lululemon has made a series of ___15___ that have turned off even some of its most devoted fans. Not long ago, it removed a new type of leggings from its stores and website after customers complained about the fit. Other mistakes have included a color palette that was too ___16___ and not having enough of some products such as smaller size leggings. The misfires have pushed people such as Natalie Assink to ___17___ seek out different brands. The20- year- old college student said she switched from Lululemon to Gymshark and AYBL not just because their leggings cost less, but also because they have more color varieties.
Buying cheaper versions of premium products isn’t new. Boasting about it is. Ellyn Briggs, Moring Consult’s brands analyst, ___18___ the growing popularity of dupes to inflation but also to the rise of social media. The No. I reason people said they bought dupes was to save money, according to Morning Consult’s survey. They also wanted to test out whether the cheaper versions were as good as the premium ___19___ and then post about them on TikTok or other platforms. “It’s more than just a transaction,” Briggs said. “They want to share the fact that they have ___20___ a success.”
三、完形填空
Sufficient research has shown that when people believe that their managers are truly listening to their ideas and concerns, work relationships grow stronger, engagement rises, and performance improves. That’s why bosses have regular one-on-ones with their ___21___ reports, and new division heads go on listening tours.
However, studies also show that such practices often are ___22___ — in part because many managers simply aren’t good listeners. When we conducted a comprehensive review of 117 academic papers on workplace listening, we found that this skill is far easier to describe than to ___23___.
Why Because listening is an ___24___ activity that requires empathy, patience, and the ability to respond to what you hear. And because it can be so ___25___ demanding, particularly when the subject matter is complex or emotionally charged, people often take shortcuts.
Take Google’s all-company Friday meetings. For years these were weekly open forums (讨论会) where company leaders would share ___26___, discuss strategic developments, and take questions from employees. They played a critical role in maintaining a culture of ___27___ at the company. As Laszlo Bock, Google’s former vice president of people operations, once explained, they ___28___ “everything from whether the mix of food in the cafes is too healthy to really significant questions around whether our strategy with a particular country or product is good or evil.” ___29___, in 2019 Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, decided that the meetings were no longer working. Employees wanted to talk about controversial issues like the company’s handling of hate speech, and discussions were often ___30___ to the press. Pichai made them less regular and changed their ___31___. It seems that listening to everyone had gotten too difficult.
Similar situations have played out at Activision Blizzard, where an attempt to address misconduct claims during a company town hall led to a massive strike, with workers complaining that leaders were ___32___ rather than meaningfully addressing their concerns, and at Amazon, where employees said that a daily survey designed to evaluate staff well-being was being prejudiced by managers’ direct pressure to give ___33___ answers and by worries that responses wouldn’t be kept privately protected.
Listening without ___34___ action or explanation leads employees to believe their efforts — and yours — have been pointless. There is a fix for this: Always complete the communication cycle. Before ending a conversation, restate what you’ve heard, identify the next steps for action, and ___35___ a timeline for checking back in. That emphasizes forward momentum (势头) and ensures accountability.

四、阅读理解
Passage 1
This year, my two oldest sons asked me to sign them up for piano lessons. For certain reasons, I decided it would also be a good time for me to take up the piano again, after 30 years.
As a child, I learned not just the piano, but the cello. I played in two orchestras and sang in the school choir. No one forced me to do any of it, but it wasn’t quite a free choice either. When you are the approval-addicted daughter of an over-invested mother, no one needs to apply force. My mom and I were well matched partners in the dance of unspoken expectation and approval-seeking. I did her forcing for her.
For my mother, my musical industriousness wasn’t so much about achievement as identity. She was American by birth, and after marrying my university professor father and moving to London, she spent a decade working to be accepted into the impatient, fraught world of British intellectual society.
In this environment, a diligent daughter lugging a giant cello was a tiny amount of cultural capital, a ticket to belonging. As much as anything could, music made me into the person my mother needed me to be, so that she could be the person she needed to be, in order to escape who she actually was.
And for my part, although I never truly believed that my mother’s love was conditional, I did have the suspicion that there was a performance-related bonus in there.
It was foolish to think that taking up the piano at the same time as my own children would be emotionally uncomplicated. Or perhaps the complication was exactly why I sought it out. Somehow, the piano lessons turn me into both my childhood self, seeking my mother’s approval, and into my mother herself, putting the same high expectations on my own children.
My mother was lucky in that I was temperamentally (性情地) suited to the role she assigned me. My sons are not so much so. They are rambunctious and restless, not wired for lengthy sessions of sitting still and reflecting well on me.
Unconditional love may be at the defining heart of parenthood, but sometimes it can feel impossible to accommodate unconditional love to the worldly practices of day-to-day parenting. The whole job seems set up for conditionality: It would be dishonest to pretend that we have no stake in wanting our children to reflect our own values and preferences.
I’m disappointed when my sons won’t play their role in the script I have written for them, but deep down, I’m also a little thrilled. They are maddeningly, gloriously resistant to the pressure. A secret part of me is delighted by their raging demands for full personhood — beyond my projections and hopes and fears. By the life they claim.
36. The underlined sentence in paragraph two means ______.
A．the author demanded to learn musical instruments out of pure love
B．the author’s mom pushed her to learn musical instruments against her will
C．the author’s mom pushed her to learn musical instruments for her own sake
D．the author offered to learn musical instruments to obtain her mom’s approval
37. The author’s mother think of the author’s musical industriousness as ______.
A．a symbol more of family achievement than of social identity
B．a way for her to fit into the British intellectual society at that time
C．proof of her ability to be a qualified mother in front of her husband
D．a result of her selfless cultivation more than the author’s own diligence
38. Which of the following is TRUE from the author’s perspective
A．She doesn’t care about her sons’ levels of playing musical instruments.
B．She has a mixed feeling towards her sons’ reluctance to practise musical instruments.
C．She feels sorrowful because her sons are unlikely skilled at playing musical instruments.
D．She is still convinced that her sons could be as talented on musical instruments as she was.
39. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A．Can Musical Talents Really be Inherited
B．Can We Really Force Our Children to Love Music
C．Can We Really Love Our Children Unconditionally
D．Can Playing Instruments Help Us Fit into Intellectual Society
Passage 2
Cornell Note-Taking Method: A Simplified Guide
The Cornell Note-Taking Method, created by Professor Walter Pauk in the 1950s, is a structured way to organize notes and enhance learning. It divides a page into three main sections: a cue column on the left, a note-taking area on the right, and a summary section at the bottom.
How to Use It:
Title Header: Write the topic at the top of the page. Include the date or objective for reference.
Cue Column: Use this narrow left section for key terms, questions, or main ideas. Think of it as a glossary to help you quickly find important points later.
Note-Taking Area: Record detailed notes here during lectures or reading. Focus on important facts and references.
Summary Section: At the bottom, summarize the main ideas in one or two sentences. This reinforces your understanding and makes review easier.
Tips for Effective Use:
Self-Quiz Questions: Write simple questions in the cue column to test yourself later.
Summarize Even if Incomplete: Reflect on key points in your own words, even if your notes aren’t perfect.
Color Coding: Use colors to highlight key terms, definitions, and examples. This makes your notes clearer and more engaging.
Next Steps: Add actions you need to take in the summary to keep learning proactive.
Versatile Uses:
Meetings and Interviews: Record key points in the note-taking area, highlight themes in the cue column, and summarize takeaways.
Brainstorming: Jot down ideas in the main section, categorize them in the cue column, and identify top ideas in the summary.
Project Planning: Note goals and milestones in the main area, deadlines in the cue column, and create an action plan in the summary.
The Cornell Note-Taking Method represents a robust and versatile framework for organizing information across diverse learning and professional contexts. By promoting active engagement, critical thinking, and structured review, it enhances the efficiency of knowledge acquisition and retention. Whether employed by students in lecture halls or professionals in meetings, the Cornell Method remains a valuable tool for those seeking to optimize their note-taking practices.
40. What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce the history of the Cornell Note-Taking Method.
B．To explain how to effectively use the Cornell Note-Taking Method.
C．To compare different note-taking methods for various learning styles.
D．To describe the benefits of using visual aids in note-taking.
41. What is the advantage of adding a "next steps" section in the summary of Cornell notes
A．It helps to quickly identify the main ideas of the material.
B．It allows for a more organized and visually appealing set of notes.
C．It transforms notes into actionable tools for further learning.
D．It reduces the mental load when testing yourself with self-quiz questions.
42. Imagine you are the student council president organizing a charity event at your high school. How would you apply the Cornell Method to capture the most important information during the planning meeting
A．Write the event schedule in the cue column.
B．Note key points and tasks in the note-taking area.
C．Summarize the main goals in the summary section.
D．List potential sponsors in the summary section.
Passage 3
With AI voice assistants and chatbots becoming increasingly common in daily life, talking to AI in public often feels like broadcasting your private thoughts to strangers, creating a major privacy headache. Fortunately, an Asian start-up Verne Technologies is developing a noise-cancelling mask to keep your AI voice chats private. The upcoming product is the Wearbphone, which promises to lower your voice by 10 to 20 decibels(分贝).
While wearing the mask, you interact with various chatbots, making it work as a voice input device. For phone calls and virtual meetings, the mask also enables you to speak in a crowded office space or café without giving away your private information. Though the product is still in development, it is expected to feature both active noise cancellation and physical soundproofing.
Yet there is one aspect holding it back from wide use. A tester says covering his face with the mask stops him from communicating naturally with people around. The concept trades privacy for awkwardness, as users have to cover their faces all the time. This not only creates a barrier to face-to-face communication but also makes people feel uneasy in public, which may greatly prevent its social acceptance.
Still, Verne Technologies is betting that the AI chatbot era will create a need for at least some users to demand extra privacy. The company says the mask itself is built with style and comfort in mind to encourage adoption. In addition, the mask can be taken apart into pieces, allowing you to clean the inside with UV light, which addresses easy-to-clean concerns for a wearable device.
Finally, the Wearbphone serves as a stylish solution to your private AI interactions in public. Yet, since only a single model has been shown, and improvements are still in progress, you need to be patient to experience this invention firsthand.
43. What is people’s concern while using voice-based AI
A. Poor voice quality. B. Privacy risk. C. Background noise. D. Slow response.
44. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the Wearbphone
A. How it operates. B. Where it can be used. C. Why it is created. D. What advantages it has.
45. What may influence people to accept the product
A. Its social discomfort. B. Its inconvenient operation.
C. Its difficulty in cleaning. D. Its interruption to public talks.
46. Where does the product stand at present
A. Already on sale. B. Still in test stage. C. Ready for consumers. D. Just a concept idea.
Passage 4
Few parents would consider it as family fun to get sharks circling within inches of their children. Yet, that’s what we encourage our kids to do when a great white shark finally approached after an hour of waiting with baits(诱饵).
Every child onboard got the chance to go into the cage(笼子) hung off the side of the boat to view this impressive creature. When it was my daughter’s turn, she slipped into the cage with curiosity. Being lowered, she grasped the bars, eyes full of wonder. The shark appeared silently, circled the cage once, suddenly turned and stared at her fixedly for a while. My heart nearly stopped. But instead of panic, she let out a cry of amazement. Then the shark brushed past the cage and disappeared into the depths.
Later that evening, my daughter shared, “At first, I was terrified, but when I looked into that shark’s eye, I didn’t see a threat, but a welcoming ocean owner.” Her words struck us all. Indeed, sharks were far more local to the ocean than humans. The next morning, as we packed to leave, my daughter handed me her drawing — a free swimming shark with a small girl watching it. “We’re guests in their home, Dad,” she wrote beneath the picture, “and good visitors never break in.” That simple truth, spoken by a kid in a cage circled by a shark, is one that I will carry forever.
This journey means more than stepping out of comfort zone; it also teaches us how to cherish and respect every life, and to see the world with the same wonder as a child.
47. What is people’s general attitude toward the homeless
A. Doubtful. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Unconcerned.
48. What can be the title of the book mentioned in paragraph 2
A. Love Doves: Hope from Street B. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
C. Life Has Ups and Downs D. The Secret of an Artist: A Must-Have
49. What is the feature of Peterson’s paintings
A. Capturing people’s inner worlds. B. Reflecting people’s social position.
C. Applying pencil-drawing styles. D. Expressing artists’ personal feelings.
50. How does Faces of Santa Ana help the homeless
A. It teaches painting skills. B. It records albums for them.
C. It provides funding support. D. It collects money from the public.
