Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) As midnight approaches in Svalbard, a young polar bear climbs onto an iceberg (冰山) and carves himself a temporary bed before falling asleep. This peaceful moment, capturing the essence of Earth’s delicacy, was taken by Nima Sarikhani, who won Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award, which is decided by public vote. Sarikhani, from the UK, spent three days searching Norway’s Svalbard islands in the hope of catching sight of these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals. He was finally rewarded with the sight of both an older and younger male shortly after his ship changed course. Sarikhani seized the chance to take a photo of the younger bear sleeping on the iceberg — a scene that not only awakens the bond between an animal and its habitat, but also the need to act on global challenges like climate change and habitat loss. These days, the sight of a lone polar bear on melting ice is a familiar symbol of the impact of climate change. But that is for a good reason: global warming is having a particularly rapid effect on the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate three times as high as that of the average around the world. Among those hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reduction in sea ice cover that they rely on to hunt and raise young. Though his photo is intended to arouse emotion in those who see it, Sarikhani is optimistic that with the right actions, it isn’t too late for polar bears. The image will be displayed in an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London, along with the competition’s four runners-up, until 30 June. 36. Sarikhani’s journey in Svalbard can be described as ______. A. purposeful B. leisurely C. profit-driven D. research-led 37. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that ______. A. polar bears are likely to die out B. the warming of the Arctic just begins C. sea ice cover is vital for polar bears’ survival D. polar bears are adapting well to climate change 38. According to the last paragraph, what’s Sarikhani’s hope for the impact of his photo? A. To arouse people’s sadness for the scene. B. To motivate people to protect polar bears. C. To attract more visitors to the Arctic. D. To boost the popularity of the exhibition. 39. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Svalbard’s quietness: Polar bears’ comfortable zone B. Arctic adventure: Search for a dramatic landscape C. Bearing witness: Polar bears’ shelter on melting ice D. Ice and isolation: A faraway natural wonder (B) Four Books Worth Reading Entangled Life (Illustrated) by Merlin Sheldrake Following 2020’s real hit Entangled Life, biologist Sheldrake returns in time with an impressive illustrated edition. At over 240 pages, his passion and knowledge leaps off every spread. From the microscopic to the splendid, the colour images create an entertaining and charming experience. Anna Atkins: Cyanotypes by Peter Walther Often copied, seldom improved on, the elegant prints of Anna Atkins are timeless. Atkins uses light-sensitive iron salt solution and exposure to sunlight to create beautiful Cyanotypes, pictures in a specific dark blue color. Walther’s book is comprehensive and perfect for Atkins fans or anyone keen to learn. The Earth in Our Hands by Thomas Pesquet Pesquet’s breathtaking collection of photographs captured from the International Space Station (ISS) follows in the footsteps of astronaut Don Pettit’s Spaceborne. Pesquet took more than 245,000 images over two missions, with his book including 200 of these. It is the closest most of us will get to being on the ISS — a deeply engaging read. Looking at Trees by Sophie Howarth This absorbing book features 26 of the world’s leading photographers. From a photo of Hollywood juniper (杜松) in California to a dreamlike image of Halfway Gardens in South Africa, Howarth asks us to value trees at a time of environmental challenge. It’s a book you will return to. 40. The four books can be classified into ______. A. art magazines B. photo books C. historical novels D. instruction books 41. Which book is a remade version of a popular book? A. Entangled Life (Illustrated). B. Anna Atkins: Cyanotypes. C. The Earth in Our Hands. D. Looking at Trees. 42. What can be learnt from the introduction of the four books? A. Looking at Trees mainly focuses on valuable trees. B. Don Pettit has joined space missions with Pesquet. C. Cyanotypes of Anna Atkins enjoy a high reputation. D. All the books introduced care about the environment. (C) Conventionally, being overweight is bad for health. This may not always be the case. The latest evidence comes from a study in which people classed as overweight, but not extremely fat, had a lower death rate within a certain period than people with a supposedly ideal weight. This suggests that the threshold (阈值) for classifying individuals as overweight may have been set too low. It is uncontroversial that being very heavy is bad for health, but it is unclear at what point health risks begin. Doctors usually ad vise people to lose weight if their Body Mass Index (BMI) is high, which is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. In most countries, a healthy weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Having a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is classed as overweight and 30 and above as extremely fat. Previous research made waves when it found that people whose BMI was somewhat over the “healthy” threshold of 25 may have a slightly lower death rate than slimmer individuals. But many of the studies are fairly old and were done when people were mostly slimmer, and subjects weren’t racially diverse, says Aayush Visaria, a researcher in New Jersey. To address those issues, Visaria tracked the survival of about 500,000 racially diverse US adults of known height and weight for up to 20 years. Having a BMI between 25 and 27.4 carried a 5 percent lower risk of death in this period than a BMI within the healthy category of 22.5 to 24.9. A slightly higher BMI, of 27.5 to 29.9, seemed even better, linked with a 7 percent lower risk of death. One criticism is that the apparent benefit of being overweight could be a misconception, as people who lose weight due to illness are more likely to die. However, in the new research, the pattern persisted even if people who died within two years of entering the study were ruled out from the figures. Visaria says it’s too early to conclude that having an “overweight” BMI outperforms being in the healthy category, because population studies may be prejudiced and lead to misinterpretation of the results. “We aren’t certain if this is truly interpretable,” he says. “A more appropriate message is that BMI isn’t a good indicator of death risk—other factors, like body fat distribution, also play a role.” 43. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______. A. put forward a controversial issue B. discuss reasons for a lower death rate C. reveal a finding that questions a common belief D. justify the traditional “overweight” threshold 44. According to paragraph 3 and 4, Visaria resolved the limitations of previous research by ______. A. arriving at a more specific finding B. tracking the research for another 20 years C. calming down a wave of criticism from the crowd D. adopting a large, diverse sample over an extended period 45. According to the passage, “the pattern” in paragraph 5 refers to ______. A. the misconception about the benefit of being overweight B. the increased likelihood of death for individuals losing weight due to illness C. the changing perception of BMI classification over time D. the lower risk of death for slightly heavier persons in a set time compared to slimmer ones 46. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Weight and blood pressure are two primary factors related to BMI. B. To accurately reflect someone’s health risk, a broader view is necessary. C. Visaria will continue to figure out a more scientific BMI threshold. D. Visaria is confident of the reliability of his research. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Tuning in to Gestures Gesture gets its power in part from the fact that it is seldom noticed by the speaker or listener yet is easily understood and included in our conversations. The challenge is to use it to good effect. ____47____ Gesture more when you speak. It will help you learn and understand, and also think in a more abstract way. If you gesture while talking, you will remember more of what you have said. Do it while you are multitasking and it will lighten your mental load. What’s more, when you gesture, the people around you tend to do so too. ____48____ Encourage gestures in your children, students and anyone else you are trying to teach. This will help them understand the material you are conveying. ____49____ That is important because being able to generalise what we learn is essential to acquiring new knowledge. Pay attention to other people’s gestures. These offer a window into the thoughts that speakers have but don’t express in their words. These thoughts are often at the cutting-edge of their knowledge or address issues that are uppermost in their minds. Noticing and responding to such gestures will improve your interactions at home and at work. Observe the gesturing of infants (婴儿). While learning to talk, children typically convey sentence-like meanings in a combination of gesture and speech before using words alone. ____50____ If a child fails to produce these gesture-word combinations, it may be a sign that their spoken language development will be delayed, allowing you to intervene and help. A. For example, they usually point at a box and say “open”. B. You should be mindful of the potential impact of gestures. C. Make fake gestures on certain occasions if necessary. D. Here are some tips that can help you take advantage of gestures. E. This can give you a way of seeing what others are thinking but not saying. F. Gesturing while learning will also help them solve the same problem in a new way. IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. What Is a Superiority Complex? A superiority complex is a behavior that suggests a person believes they are somehow superior to others. People with this complex often have overstated opinions of themselves. They may believe their abilities and achievements are better than those of others. However, the complex is believed to be a defense system for feelings of inadequacy that we all struggle with. It is unclear why a person develops a superiority complex. Multiple incidents may be the root cause. For example, it may be the result of many failures. A person tries to complete a specific goal or achieve a desired outcome, but they don’t succeed. They learn to handle the anxiety and stress of the failure by pretending to be above it. If they feel protected from their failures in this way, they may repeat this behavior in the future. These behaviors can begin at an early age. When a child is learning to cope with challenges, they may learn to control feelings of inadequacy or fear. A superiority complex may develop. Likewise, it may also happen later in life. As teens and adults, a person has many opportunities to try new things among new people. If these situations are not successfully coped with, a person may develop a superiority complex to overcome feeling isolated. People with a superiority complex are unlikely to be a threat to anyone’s physical health. However, the continuous lies and overstatements can become annoying to others and may negatively affect relationships. It can push away other people in your life and shrink your social circle. If you are in a relationship with a person who you think has the issue, encourage the person to seek help. For example, never hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals. They can find healthier ways to deal with hidden feelings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) As midnight approaches in Svalbard, a young polar bear climbs onto an iceberg (冰山) and carves himself a temporary bed before falling asleep. This peaceful moment, capturing the essence of Earth’s delicacy, was taken by Nima Sarikhani, who won Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award, which is decided by public vote. Sarikhani, from the UK, spent three days searching Norway’s Svalbard islands in the hope of catching sight of these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals. He was finally rewarded with the sight of both an older and younger male shortly after his ship changed course. Sarikhani seized the chance to take a photo of the younger bear sleeping on the iceberg — a scene that not only awakens the bond between an animal and its habitat, but also the need to act on global challenges like climate change and habitat loss. These days, the sight of a lone polar bear on melting ice is a familiar symbol of the impact of climate change. But that is for a good reason: global warming is having a particularly rapid effect on the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate three times as high as that of the average around the world. Among those hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reduction in sea ice cover that they rely on to hunt and raise young. Though his photo is intended to arouse emotion in those who see it, Sarikhani is optimistic that with the right actions, it isn’t too late for polar bears. The image will be displayed in an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London, along with the competition’s four runners-up, until 30 June. 36. Sarikhani’s journey in Svalbard can be described as ______. A. purposeful B. leisurely C. profit-driven D. research-led 37. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that ______. A. polar bears are likely to die out B. the warming of the Arctic just begins C. sea ice cover is vital for polar bears’ survival D. polar bears are adapting well to climate change 38. According to the last paragraph, what’s Sarikhani’s hope for the impact of his photo? A. To arouse people’s sadness for the scene. B. To motivate people to protect polar bears. C. To attract more visitors to the Arctic. D. To boost the popularity of the exhibition. 39. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Svalbard’s quietness: Polar bears’ comfortable zone B. Arctic adventure: Search for a dramatic landscape C. Bearing witness: Polar bears’ shelter on melting ice D. Ice and isolation: A faraway natural wonder 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要通过一幅睡在融化的冰川上的孤独的北极熊的照片，展现出全球气候变暖对生物的影响，以此激励人们行动起来保护北极熊。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sarikhani, from the UK, spent three days searching Norway’s Svalbard islands in the hope of catching sight of these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals.(来自英国的Sarikhani花了三天时间搜索挪威的斯瓦尔巴群岛，希望能看到这些象征性的北极动物。) ”可知，Sarikhani的这次旅行是有目的的，A. purposeful有目的的；B. leisurely不慌不忙的；C. profit-driven利益驱使的；D. research-led以研究为导向的。故选A项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Among those hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reduction in sea ice cover that they rely on to hunt and raise young.(受影响最严重的是这些北极熊，它们赖以狩猎和养育幼崽的海冰覆盖减少，对它们的威胁越来越大。) ”可知，海冰覆盖对于北极熊的生存极其重要，故选C项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Though his photo is intended to arouse emotion in those who see it, Sarikhani is optimistic that with the right actions, it isn’t too late for polar bears.(尽管他的照片旨在唤起那些看到它的人的情感，但Sarikhani乐观地认为，只要采取正确的行动，对北极熊来说还为时不晚。) ”可知，Sarikhani的照片旨在激励人行动起来保护北极熊，故选B项。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要通过一幅睡在融化的冰川上的孤独的北极熊的照片，展现出全球气候变暖对生物的影响，以此激励人们行动起来保护北极熊，C项“Bearing witness: Polar bears’ shelter on melting ice(见证：融化的冰川上的北极熊的住所)”符合题意，故选C项。 (B) Four Books Worth Reading Entangled Life (Illustrated) by Merlin Sheldrake Following 2020’s real hit Entangled Life, biologist Sheldrake returns in time with an impressive illustrated edition.

This may not always be the case. The latest evidence comes from a study in which people classed as overweight, but not extremely fat, had a lower death rate within a certain period than people with a supposedly ideal weight. This suggests that the threshold (阈值) for classifying individuals as overweight may have been set too low. It is uncontroversial that being very heavy is bad for health, but it is unclear at what point health risks begin. Doctors usually ad vise people to lose weight if their Body Mass Index (BMI) is high, which is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. In most countries, a healthy weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Having a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is classed as overweight and 30 and above as extremely fat. Previous research made waves when it found that people whose BMI was somewhat over the “healthy” threshold of 25 may have a slightly lower death rate than slimmer individuals. But many of the studies are fairly old and were done when people were mostly slimmer, and subjects weren’t racially diverse, says Aayush Visaria, a researcher in New Jersey. To address those issues, Visaria tracked the survival of about 500,000 racially diverse US adults of known height and weight for up to 20 years. Having a BMI between 25 and 27.4 carried a 5 percent lower risk of death in this period than a BMI within the healthy category of 22.5 to 24.9. A slightly higher BMI, of 27.5 to 29.9, seemed even better, linked with a 7 percent lower risk of death. One criticism is that the apparent benefit of being overweight could be a misconception, as people who lose weight due to illness are more likely to die. However, in the new research, the pattern persisted even if people who died within two years of entering the study were ruled out from the figures. Visaria says it’s too early to conclude that having an “overweight” BMI outperforms being in the healthy category, because population studies may be prejudiced and lead to misinterpretation of the results. “We aren’t certain if this is truly interpretable,” he says. “A more appropriate message is that BMI isn’t a good indicator of death risk—other factors, like body fat distribution, also play a role.” 43. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______. A. put forward a controversial issue B. discuss reasons for a lower death rate C. reveal a finding that questions a common belief D. justify the traditional “overweight” threshold 44. According to paragraph 3 and 4, Visaria resolved the limitations of previous research by ______. A. arriving at a more specific finding B. tracking the research for another 20 years C. calming down a wave of criticism from the crowd D. adopting a large, diverse sample over an extended period 45. According to the passage, “the pattern” in paragraph 5 refers to ______. A. the misconception about the benefit of being overweight B. the increased likelihood of death for individuals losing weight due to illness C. the changing perception of BMI classification over time D. the lower risk of death for slightly heavier persons in a set time compared to slimmer ones 46. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Weight and blood pressure are two primary factors related to BMI. B. To accurately reflect someone’s health risk, a broader view is necessary. C. Visaria will continue to figure out a more scientific BMI threshold. D. Visaria is confident of the reliability of his research. 【答案】43. C 44. D 45. D 46. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了最新研究表明，超重但不是特别胖的人在一定时期内的死亡率低于所谓理想体重的人。文章介绍了研究开展的经过以及研究的发现。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Conventionally, being overweight is bad for health. This may not always be the case. The latest evidence comes from a study in which people classed as overweight, but not extremely fat, had a lower death rate within a certain period than people with a supposedly ideal weight. This suggests that the threshold (阈值) for classifying individuals as overweight may have been set too low.(一般来说，超重对健康有害。情况可能并非总是如此。最新的证据来自一项研究，该研究表明，超重但不是特别胖的人在一定时期内的死亡率低于所谓理想体重的人。这表明，将个体划分为超重的阈值可能设置得太低了)”可知，第一段的目的是揭示一个对共同信念提出质疑的发现。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But many of the studies are fairly old and were done when people were mostly slimmer, and subjects weren’t racially diverse, says Aayush Visaria, a researcher in New Jersey.(但新泽西州的研究人员Aayush Visaria说，许多研究都是相当古老的，而且是在人们大多比较苗条的时候进行的，而且研究对象的种族也不是多样化的)”和第四段中“To address those issues, Visaria tracked the survival of about 500,000 racially diverse US adults of known height and weight for up to 20 years.(为了解决这些问题，Visaria在长达20年的时间里追踪了大约50万名身高和体重已知的不同种族的美国成年人的生存状况)”可知，Visaria通过在较长时间内采用大量不同的样本，解决了以前研究的局限性。故选D。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“In most countries, a healthy weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Having a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is classed as overweight and 30 and above as extremely fat.(在大多数国家，健康体重的定义是BMI在18.5到24.9之间。BMI在25到29.9之间被归类为超重，30及以上被归类为极度肥胖)”；倒数第三段“Having a BMI between 25 and 27.4 carried a 5 percent lower risk of death in this period than a BMI within the healthy category of 22.5 to 24.9. A slightly higher BMI, of 27.5 to 29.9, seemed even better, linked with a 7 percent lower risk of death.(在此期间，BMI在25至27.4之间的人的死亡风险比BMI在22.5至24.9之间的健康人群低5%。BMI稍微高一点，在27.5到29.9之间，似乎效果更好，与死亡风险降低7%有关)”以及划线词后文“persisted even if people who died within two years of entering the study were ruled out from the figures(即使在参与研究的两年内死亡的人被排除在数据之外)”可知，在新的研究中，即使在研究开始后两年内死亡的人被排除在数据之外，较重的人在一定时间内的死亡风险比较瘦的人低这种模式仍然存在。故划线词指的是“较重的人在一定时间内的死亡风险比较瘦的人低”。故选D。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Visaria says it’s too early to conclude that having an “overweight” BMI outperforms being in the healthy category, because population studies may be prejudiced and lead to misinterpretation of the results. “We aren’t certain if this is truly interpretable,” he says. “A more appropriate message is that BMI isn’t a good indicator of death risk—other factors, like body fat distribution, also play a role.”(维萨里亚说，现在下结论说体重指数“超重”的人比健康的人表现更好还为时过早，因为人口研究可能会有偏见，导致对结果的误解。“我们不确定这是否真的可以解释，”他说。“更恰当的信息是，BMI并不是死亡风险的良好指标——其他因素，如体脂分布，也起着作用。”)”可知，为了准确地反映某人的健康风险，一个更广泛的观点是必要的。故选B。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Tuning in to Gestures Gesture gets its power in part from the fact that it is seldom noticed by the speaker or listener yet is easily understood and included in our conversations. The challenge is to use it to good effect. ____47____ Gesture more when you speak. It will help you learn and understand, and also think in a more abstract way. If you gesture while talking, you will remember more of what you have said. Do it while you are multitasking and it will lighten your mental load. What’s more, when you gesture, the people around you tend to do so too. ____48____ Encourage gestures in your children, students and anyone else you are trying to teach. This will help them understand the material you are conveying. ____49____ That is important because being able to generalise what we learn is essential to acquiring new knowledge. Pay attention to other people’s gestures. These offer a window into the thoughts that speakers have but don’t express in their words. These thoughts are often at the cutting-edge of their knowledge or address issues that are uppermost in their minds. Noticing and responding to such gestures will improve your interactions at home and at work. Observe the gesturing of infants (婴儿). While learning to talk, children typically convey sentence-like meanings in a combination of gesture and speech before using words alone. ____50____ If a child fails to produce these gesture-word combinations, it may be a sign that their spoken language development will be delayed, allowing you to intervene and help. A. For example, they usually point at a box and say “open”. B. You should be mindful of the potential impact of gestures. C. Make fake gestures on certain occasions if necessary. D. Here are some tips that can help you take advantage of gestures. E. This can give you a way of seeing what others are thinking but not saying. F. Gesturing while learning will also help them solve the same problem in a new way. 【答案】47. D 48. E 49. F 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可以帮助你利用手势的建议。 【47题详解】 根据上文“Gesture gets its power in part from the fact that it is seldom noticed by the speaker or listener yet is easily understood and included in our conversations. The challenge is to use it to good effect.(手势的力量部分来自这样一个事实，即它很少被说话者或听者注意到，但却很容易理解并包含在我们的对话中。挑战在于如何有效地利用它。)”可知，上文介绍了手势的力量和如何有效利用它，所以接下来应该给出一些具体的建议。D项：Here are some tips that can help you take advantage of gestures.(这里有一些可以帮助你利用手势的建议。)是合适的引言，为后续内容提供了总览，符合语境。故选D。 【48题详解】 根据上文“What’s more, when you gesture, the people around you tend to do so too.(更重要的是，当你做手势时，你周围的人也会这样做。)”可知，空处承接上文，说明周围的人做手势的好处。E项：This can give you a way of seeing what others are thinking but not saying.(这可以让你看到别人在想什么但没有说出来。)符合语境。故选E。 【49题详解】 根据上文“Encourage gestures in your children, students and anyone else you are trying to teach. (鼓励你的孩子、学生和任何你想教的人做手势。)”可知，上文提到在学习中鼓励用手势，F项和上一句“This will help them understand the material you are conveying.(这将有助于他们理解你所传达的材料。)”并列，说明在学习中使用手势的好处。F项中的“also help”和上一句中的“help”对应，F项：Gesturing while learning will also help them solve the same problem in a new way.(学习时做手势也能帮助他们以新的方式解决同样的问题。)符合语境。故选F。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Observe the gesturing of infants (婴儿). While learning to talk, children typically convey sentence-like meanings in a combination of gesture and speech before using words alone.(观察婴儿的手势。在学习说话的过程中，孩子们通常在单独使用单词之前，通过手势和语言的结合来传达句子式的意思。)”可知，本段描述了婴儿在学习说话时使用手势和言语相结合的方式。A项中的“they”指代上文中的“children”。A项：For example, they usually point at a box and say “open”.(例如，他们通常会指着一个盒子说“打开”。) 是一个具体的例子，与婴儿如何使用手势和言语相结合的方式相吻合，符合语境。故选A。 IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. What Is a Superiority Complex? A superiority complex is a behavior that suggests a person believes they are somehow superior to others. People with this complex often have overstated opinions of themselves. They may believe their abilities and achievements are better than those of others. However the complex is believed to be a defense system for feelings of inadequacy that we all struggle with. It is unclear why a person develops a superiority complex. Multiple incidents may be the root cause. For example, it may be the result of many failures. A person tries to complete a specific goal or achieve a desired outcome, but they don’t succeed. They learn to handle the anxiety and stress of the failure by pretending to be above it. If they feel protected from their failures in this way, they may repeat this behavior in the future. These behaviors can begin at an early age. When a child is learning to cope with challenges, they may learn to control feelings of inadequacy or fear. A superiority complex may develop. Likewise, it may also happen later in life. As teens and adults, a person has many opportunities to try new things among new people. If these situations are not successfully coped with, a person may develop a superiority complex to overcome feeling isolated. People with a superiority complex are unlikely to be a threat to anyone’s physical health. However, the continuous lies and overstatements can become annoying to others and may negatively affect relationships. It can push away other people in your life and shrink your social circle. If you are in a relationship with a person who you think has the issue, encourage the person to seek help. For example, never hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals. They can find healthier ways to deal with hidden feelings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A superiority complex means someone thinks they are superior.

B 【解析】 【原文】The dynamic city of New York is home to a hidden treasure of history. Once a railway track receiving little attention, the High Line has been transformed into a quiet urban place, offering a unique perspective of the city from above. The park is lined with beautiful gardens, artistic displays, and walking paths, attracting millions of visitors each year. But the history of the High Line goes back much further than its transformation into a park. Built in the 1930s, the High Line was originally used to transport goods between factories and industrial facilities along Manhattan’s West Side. However, with the rise of trucking in the mid-20th century, the railway fell into disuse and was abandoned by the 1980s. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that the idea of turning the High Line into a public park gained popularity. Community activists artists, and urban planners came together to imagine a new use for this historic structure. After years of planning and development, the first section of the park opened to the public in 2009, with additional sections opening in the following years. Today, the High Line stands as a demonstration to the power of community cooperation and innovative urban design. Visitors can wander along its raised paths, enjoying views of the city skyline, greenery, and unique art work along the way. Questions: 11. When did the transformation of the High Line into a park begin? 12. What caused the High Line railway to be abandoned in the 1980s? 13. What is the speaker mainly talking about? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 70. A. Art. B. Geometry. C. Engineering. D. Circus performance. 71. A. They were made to earn a living. B. They were delicate decorative objects. C. They were small circus figures made of wire. D. They were abstract figures with different shapes. 72. A. It was inspired by a realistic story. B. It was invented by an African American. C. It requires simple construction to work. D. It gives pleasure to both adults and children. 【答案】70. A 71. C 72. D 【解析】 【原文】The mobile I’m talking about is an object of decoration hanging from the ceiling and moving gently with every breath. It delights both children and adults. This cute creation was the work of an American artist named Alexander Calder. Calder became interested in making things when he was a child. He often used wire in his constructions. When he went to college, he studied engineering. But he quickly realized art was his real passion. He also loved the circus, and many of his early artworks were small circus figures made of wire. In 1930, Calder turned realistic wire figures into abstract ones. He began constructing objects that have circles, squares and other shapes. Then he went one step beyond these early mobiles. He got the shapes in his construction s to move by themselves. A mobile may look simple as it shifts in the wind, but require careful construction to work properly. Calder used his engineering knowledge to create his first mobiles. They consisted of small pieces of metal strung by wire to a base.
