二、完形填空
In the summer of my nineteenth year, I boarded a train from Xining to Lhasa, a journey of over twenty hours across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. I had read about the railway’s engineering marvels — the bridges, the tunnels, the way the tracks seemed to float above the frozen earth. But none of that ____16____ me for what I actually saw.
The train left in the evening. By midnight, most passengers had fallen asleep. I stayed awake, my face ____17____ against the cold window, watching the moonlight on the snow-covered mountains. The landscape was unlike anything I had ____18____ before: vast, silent, and utterly indifferent to human presence. I felt small, but in a way that was strangely ____19____.
Around dawn, a fellow passenger, an elderly Tibetan woman, ____20____ me a cup of butter tea from her thermos. I didn’t speak her language, and she didn’t speak mine. We communicated through ____21____ — smiles, nods, the simple act of sharing warmth. She pointed at the rising sun as it ____22____ the peaks one by one, and I understood. Some things need no translation.
The train climbed higher. At Tanggula Pass, over 5,000 meters above sea level, a child sitting behind me began to cry, ____23____ by the thin air. His mother held him close, and the woman next to her — a stranger until that moment — ____24____ her own oxygen tube. It was a small gesture, but on that train, in that thin air, it felt ____25____.
What I remember most about that journey is not the mountains or the altitude. It is the ____26____ between strangers that arose naturally, without effort. The train was not just a vehicle; it was a shared ____27____ that brought people together in ways that daily life rarely does. In the years since, whenever I feel disconnected from the world, I think back to that train and the ____28____ that existed among people who had nothing in common but the journey itself.
We arrived in Lhasa at dusk. As I stepped onto the platform, the elderly Tibetan woman ____29____ and put something into my hand: a small prayer flag. I still have it. It reminds me that the most ____30____ moments in life are often the ones we never planned.

Research Proposal Submission Guide
All student-led research projects need formal department approval before data collection can begin. This guide explains the procedure and rules for submitting your proposal.
Submission Window
Proposals are only accepted during the fall and spring cycles. The fall cycle runs from September 1st to October 15th, and the spring cycle from February 1st to March 15th. If your documents arrive outside these windows, the system will automatically reject them and they cannot be opened. There are no exceptions.
What a Proposal Must Contain
A complete package must include three separate parts, each of which the review committee will assess independently. First, a project statement that explains your research based on a review of existing studies and describes your method. Second, a timeline with clear, measurable milestones for the project period. Third, a cost breakdown showing that all expected expenses are necessary and reasonable. Packages that are incomplete or in the wrong order will be returned without being evaluated.
File Naming Rules
Every file you upload must follow this naming pattern: Surname_Initials_Component.pdf — for example, Chen_X_ProjectStatement.pdf. A file with a title that does not match this pattern or cannot be recognized will be treated as missing. It is your responsibility to double-check this before you finalize your submission.
Review Standards
The committee uses a standard scoring framework. The four weighted factors are: academic value (40%), soundness of design (30%), achievability (20%), and budget reasonableness (10%). The design score mainly reflects whether your research design is logically consistent. Proposals that rest on unverifiable assumptions or lack a clearly defined, measurable outcome will be scored poorly.
After the Review
Within four weeks of a cycle closing, the committee gives one of three decisions: approved, revisable, or declined. A “revisable” decision is time-sensitive — you have exactly 14 calendar days to upload a revised version that addresses all the committee’s concerns.
31. What happens to a proposal handed in on October 20th
A．It will be held for the next cycle.
B．It will fail to clear the system’s check.
C．It will be reviewed with a lower priority.
D．It will be given a manual extension.
32. Which of the following aspects carries the least weight in deciding a proposal’s fate
A．Whether the money asked for makes sense.
B．Whether the goals can be clearly measured.
C．Whether the research design holds together logically.
D．Whether the project is of high academic worth.
33. What must a student do upon receiving a “revisable” decision
A．Move forward with data collection while fixing the proposal.
B．Reach out to committee members for individual guidance.
C．Beat the clock and get the revised version back in two weeks.
D．Challenge the committee’s concerns through a formal channel.

My mother, Elara, was a woman of few words but deep actions. She worked in the map room of the National Archives, a quiet place filled with the smell of old paper and ink. Growing up, I thought maps were fixed facts: a river always blue, a mountain forever brown. In my teenage world, everything was digital and instant — a phone voice told me where to turn in seconds. My mother’s skill of drawing by hand seemed beautiful but a waste of time, a fight against the efficiency I valued above all.
The gap between us grew during those years. I saw her bent shoulders over a piece of special drawing paper not as love for her work, but as simply giving in to the past. I dreamed of building the digital platforms that would make her skills completely unnecessary. I believed progress meant throwing away the old. and in my teenage pride, I let her know it.
My view began to change not through a sudden moment of understanding, but through small breakdowns. Once, a software update mistakenly moved a simple address three states away on my screen. Another time, a satellite system placed me, with total certainty, on the wrong side of a river. I started to notice what my mother’s maps kept that my computer programs did not: the feel of a landscape, the local names of forgotten paths, the small signs on the ground that guide a walker when the battery dies. Her maps didn’t just show locations; they told stories.
One evening, I asked to see her latest project. It was a special map of the valley where she grew up, made for a hundred-year celebration. As her ink-stained finger traced the line of a stream, she said, “This is where we caught little fish. And here, this slight dip, is where the wild strawberries grew sweetest.” The map came alive with her memories, a richly detailed record of a life that no flying camera could capture. I realized her work was not about refusing the future; it was about offering a necessary different choice — a record not just of space, but of lived experience and feeling. The lifeless precision I valued could never match her art, which was a geography of belonging.
34. The phrase “giving in to the past” (Paragraph 2) suggests the author thought her mother ________.
A．studied old ways of making maps carefully
B．kept rare objects that she loved firmly
C．stuck to things that were no longer useful
D．considered learning new skills a waste of time
35. What brought about the change in the author’s opinion
A．The impact of a software upgrade going wrong.
B．The uncertainty of human-machine communication.
C．Unnecessary sudden changes to the operating platform.
D．The unexpected failures of her own trusted digital technology.
36. Why does the writer talk about “the small signs on the ground” (Paragraph 3)
A．To show the maps include practical details unseen by flying cameras.
B．To prove the maps are based on official survey data from government records.
C．To explain the maps mainly focus on famous scenic spots.
D．To tell readers the maps are designed for professional hikers and explorers.
37. What key viewpoint does the author intend to convey in the passage
A．Digital mapping tools won’t eventually replace all traditional skills.
B．The true worth of a craft may lie not in its efficiency but in its human touch.
C．Professional success requires abandoning new methods for old ones.
D．People prefer the personal experiences of cartographers to map symbols.
C
In the late 1960s, behavioral researcher John B. Calhoun carried out a series of experiments that led to one of the most disturbing and surprising findings in behavioral science. He built “Universe 25,” a carefully prepared “mouse perfect-world” — a 2.7-meter-square enclosed space capable of supporting over 3,000 mice, with endless food, water, and nesting materials, kept perfectly clean and free of disease. Four pairs of healthy mice were placed inside. The early stage was marked by exploding population growth. But an unavoidable collapse, now called “behavioral sinking,” revealed a deep weakness that Calhoun argued was rooted in the very nature of social living itself.
The downward slide was not set off by a lack of resources. Instead, it was a crisis of meaning. The perfect environment had removed the survival challenges that had long shaped mouse behavior. In the wild, mice must search for food, avoid hunters, and establish territories — activities that create a layered social structure and distribute behavioral roles. In Universe 25, every need was met within a perfectly functioning system, which broke down the physical and social distances that define a healthy community. The absence of necessity encouraged extreme crowding at certain feeding spots, even when identical, empty ones stood nearby.
Calhoun observed that social interaction became a source of harm. Normal mating and mothering behaviors broke down. Male mice became withdrawn and depressed, or sickeningly aggressive, starting fights without purpose. A smaller group he named “the beautiful ones” appeared — clean, perfect-looking mice that spent their entire lives grooming, eating, and sleeping in separated corners, completely cut off from all group meeting, including reproducing. These individuals had an outward appearance of physical perfection, but had become utterly empty of purpose and social role.
The physical breakdown came not from disease, but from a psychological and social collapse. Female mice stopped building nests and carrying their babies to full term. The young that were born were increasingly neglected and showed serious developmental problems. Eventually, the population settled at a level too low to sustain itself, dominated by the socially detached, and then died out entirely.
While Calhoun’s direct conclusions about humans are rightly questioned, Universe 25 lives on as a story-like touchstone. It hints that a society’s ability to survive depends less on material plenty than on the protection of purpose, diverse social roles, and the need for meaningful, challenging engagement with the environment.
38. The phrase “behavioral sinking” (Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ________.
A．a sudden explosion in population numbers
B．a disease-driven drop in physical health
C．a violent fight over limited feeding resources
D．a social falling apart caused by the lack of meaningful challenges
39. How did “the beautiful ones” behave within the community
A．They turned extremely aggressive and guarded their own space.
B．They continued all normal mating and child-raising activities.
C．They tried to take charge and restore the group’s order.
D．They isolated themselves and avoided any form of social contact.
40. What directly caused the physical collapse of the mouse society
A．A deadly virus that spread through the crowded population.
B．The failure of parenting and reproductive behaviors.
C．A genetic change that affected the mice’s ability to survive.
D．The gradual loss of communicating and physical fighting skills.
41. What function does the last paragraph serve in the text
A．It points out the symbolic lesson the experiment offers for societies.
B．It questions the scientific accuracy of Calhoun’s experimental methods.
C．It provides a direct warning about the dangers of human overcrowding.
D．It details the step-by-step process of the mouse community’s collapse.
D
We admire certainty. Leaders who speak with confidence, experts who offer clear answers, friends who seem sure of their path — these are the people we tend to trust and follow. Uncertainty, by contrast, is something most of us try to hide. We fear that admitting “I don’t know” will make us look weak or unprepared. But a growing number of thinkers argue that our uneasiness with uncertainty may be holding us back — and that learning to accept not knowing is an underappreciated skill.
Research in decision-making shows that people who are at ease with uncertainty tend to arrive at better choices in complex situations. The reason is that they are more willing to gather information before reaching a conclusion, rather than rushing to an answer simply to escape the discomfort of doubt. In a series of studies, participants who scored higher on measures of “being okay with unclear situations” were found to take more time with difficult problems and to produce more creative solutions. They were also less likely to fall into common decision traps, such as sticking with a failing plan simply because they had already invested time in it.
Uncertainty also plays a key part in scientific thinking. The scientific method is built on the recognition that current knowledge is always open to change. A good scientist does not claim to have final answers but instead holds theories lightly, ready to update them when new evidence appears. This intellectual humility — the willingness to say “I might be wrong” — is not a weakness in science; it is the engine of progress.
In everyday life, however, admitting uncertainty can be difficult. Social media rewards quick, confident opinions, and there is often little room for the kind of careful, doubtful thinking that leads to deeper understanding. This creates a culture in which appearing certain matters more than being accurate. The result is that people often dig into fixed positions rather than explore questions.
Learning to sit with uncertainty is not the same as being unable to decide. It is the ability to hold off on judgment until enough evidence is gathered. It is the willingness to live with questions that don’t yet have answers. In a complex world, this may be exactly what we need more of — not fewer confident answers, but more thoughtful questions.
42. What advantage do people who accept uncertainty have, according to the research
A．They make decisions in a much faster way.
B．They are more likely to follow those in charge.
C．They focus better and reach fully considered decisions.
D．They feel less pressure in all aspects of daily life.
43. Why is uncertainty valuable in scientific thinking
A．It makes room for ideas to be questioned and improved.
B．It allows scientists to stick with theories already proven to be true.
C．It suggests scientific work can seldom produce trustworthy results.
D．It encourages scientists to hold on to the explanations they know best.
44. What concern does the author raise about social media culture
A．It encourages users to form more thoughtful questions.
B．It puts appearing sure before factual correctness.
C．It leaves too much space for doubt and open discussion.
D．It makes it easier for real experts to spread their knowledge.
45. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A．The Power of Admitting I Don’t Know
B．The Hidden Costs of Sounding Certain
C．Why Uncertainty Is the Key to Success
D．Why Scientists Value Doubt More Than Proof
五、阅读表达
Last winter, I stopped by a local convenience store to buy a bottle of hot drink after finishing my evening part-time job. The wind blew sharply outside, and my hands were already numb with cold. When I got to the checkout counter, I found an elderly man standing ahead of me. He wore an old worn coat and looked a little nervous.
The man pulled out a few loose coins and counted them again and again. It was clear that he did not have enough money to pay for a small box of cookies and a cup of hot tea. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly put the cookies back on the shelf, keeping only the cheap hot tea. A faint look of disappointment crossed his face.
Seeing this, I made a quick decision. I walked forward gently and told the cashier that I would pay for both his tea and the box of cookies. The elderly man looked up at me in surprise and kept saying thanks. I just smiled and told him not to worry about it. Before I left the store, he asked for my name, but I refused and waved goodbye.
A week later, I went to the same store again. To my surprise, the cashier told me that the old man had come every day since that cold evening. He did not come to spend money. Instead, he just chatted with the staff, helped tidy up goods on shelves, and held the door open for other customers. He wanted to pass on the warmth he had received. This simple act became his daily routine and brought him steady joy.
The cashier also said the man once mentioned that my small act of kindness had buoyed him greatly. He used to feel lonely and helpless, but that tiny favor made him realize there was still kindness around.
Now I fully understand that kindness is never a one-way street. A simple good deed may seem insignificant to the giver, but it can light up someone’s whole world and create a chain of warmth.
