My parents believed playing with Lego could enhance my 1 and gifted me my first kit when I was five. Initially I 2 to piece the components together but finally I crafted my first Lego work — a car. By the age of nine, I had fashioned my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego — a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm. This early creation sparked my drive for further 3 . Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, and a grabber capable of 4 things. Before constructing it, I was against traditional prosthetics as they were too 5 . My parents had looked into getting one years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without. As the years passed, my creations evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both arms in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my story. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Daniel,” the father 6 asked, “we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son.” It would be a challenging task, but I responded with a “yes”. Without any delay, I 7 the task. The subsequent days witnessed how I carefully selected the Lego piece and intricately integrated practical components to enhance its dexterity (灵巧). Days turned into weeks, and the boy-customized prosthetics finally took shape. It’s time for them to fulfill their intended purpose. I rushed to the boy’s home and 8 the prosthetics onto him. They worked! The room erupted with cheers! The boy expressed his gratitude and sprinted to his parents to 9 them in the biggest hug.

A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee. Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family. What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations. 24．Who might Lionel Richie be? A．A writer. B．A friend of Jeff’s. C．A well-known musician. D．A member of The Steeles. 25．What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A．Jeff’s crucial role in his group. B．Jeff’s influence on other artists. C．Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D．Jeff’s extraordinary achievements. 26．What is special about Be the Reason? A．It was completed by Brad himself. B．It contains a multi-generational feel. C．It displays people from all walks of life. D．It received a Dove Awards nomination. 27．Which of the following can best describe Jeff? A．Talented and devoted. B．Tough and generous. C．Scholarly and friendly. D．Ambitious and imaginative. C Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the“timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go. The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. Artists used to focus on ideal forms of beauty. Genius was the “child of imitation”. Artists learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures. But such classical ideals were challenged by “discoveries”. Lord Elgin tried to fix up the magnificent friezes (雕带) that once beautified the Parthenon, but restorers refused. When the marbles (大理石雕像) went on display in 1807, British visitors did not see the perfect Roman sculptures they were used to. Timeless “ideals” paled in comparison with the timeworn marbles, and artists began to feel “cut off” from the classical tradition, writes Ms Gurstein. The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century Giorgio Vasari, an Italian painter, advanced an influential story of artistic progress that reached its peak in the realism of Raphael and Michelangelo. But in the 19th century John Ruskin, a critic, called attention to the pre-Raphaelite movement when he argued that the real “Old Masters” were actually Middle Ages Christian painters, Walter Pater, an English critic, later upgraded the individual interpretation of art as the most important criterion of judgment, planting the seeds for the aesthetic (审美) relativism that still dominates. Ms Gurstein’s narrative shows that the “status of a classic” depends on critics, and is proof to the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Taste evolves, and it should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or wokeness. It is silence. 28．What does the underlined words “written in water” mean? A．The way of writing a classic is special. B．The appreciation of classics is constant. C．The“timeless classic”changes over time D．The art classics are hard to understand. 29．Why does the author mention the “marbles” on display in paragraph 3? A．To highlight Lord Elgin's restoration efforts B．To show the popularity of Roman sculptures C．To argue for the preservation of ancient art. D．To demonstrate the change of classical tradition. 30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The rise of modern art. B．The development of artistic preferences, C．The techniques of old masters D．The transformation of creative methods, 31．What has a significant influence on aesthetic relativism? A．Realistic style. B．Ancient Christian art. C．Art critics’views. D．Historical narratives. D What does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the only options? In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous. After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesn’t necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesse’s character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit. Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want? In a new study, Qishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many people’s self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany. These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer. These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence. As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you. 32．What does Oishi’s research indicate? A．The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life. B．Undoing regrettable events has enriched many people’s lives. C．A hidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people. D．People with psychological richness tend to describe their lives as ideal. 33．We can learn from the passage that ________. A．purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significance B．the choice of a good life differs from person to person C．a positive mindset helps us understand our well-being D．we should never be content and always strive for the best 34．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To compare different concepts of a good life. B．To explain how to live a psychologically rich life. C．To persuade people to attain psychological richness. D．To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Thinking is an essential part of our daily lives. We analyze, reason and think carefully to make decisions and solve problems. 35 This phenomenon is often called “thinking without thinking”, in other words, intuition (直觉) and it has attracted philosophers, psychologists and scientists for centuries. While intuition may seem mysterious and magical for most of us, research has explained the potential abilities that enable our minds to engage in thinking without thinking. Gladwell, a writer for The New Yorker, explores many studies and real-life examples. 36 One such study involved examining the ability of art experts to determine the authenticity (真实性) of an artwork. 37 They have sharpened their intuition through years of experience and exposure to various art styles and techniques. Researchers have proven that the brain can make unbelievably accurate assessments based on cues and patterns our conscious mind might overlook from an experimental viewpoint. 38 Leaders who listen to their intuitive wisdom make innovative decisions that lead to success in business. In personal relationships, intuitive insights can help us understand the needs and feelings of others, building deeper connections. Although intuition can provide valuable insights, it is not rock-solid. 39 To better use the power of intuition effectively, we can adopt a few essential practices. Besides engaging in activities that enable your mind to gather valuable knowledge and patterns, seeking third-party judgements to confirm or challenge your intuitive insights is very important. These practices help to develop a deeper understanding of the factors influencing your intuition. A．They demonstrate the power of intuition. B．Intuition is a kind of imagination for experts. C．Sometimes emotional influences may cloud our judgments. D．Intuition serves as a guide in both personal and professional fields. E．The study discovered they made accurate judgments within seconds. F．The brain processes vast amounts of information and intuition results from the information. G．However, sometimes our minds skip the thinking process and arrive at immediate conclusions. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says I’m much more impatient with her when I’m filming Sherlock.” A recent finding doesn’t involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers’ sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events. After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self - knowledge was now changed—their self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those they’d given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term “confident” was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend’s personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. “By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person” said Meyer and her colleagues. By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways. “As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore” write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks, but even our sense of who we are.” 40．Why did Benedict become much more impatient when filming Sherlock? 41．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? 42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why. After taking the perspective of another, the self-knowledge of volunteers was changed—their self-scores reached a higher level than before. 43．How would you make use of the finding?

According to the finding, the volunteers’ self-scores would be more similar to those whose perspective they took. So the self-scores would not necessarily be higher. They could also be lower. 43．I would make use of the finding by spending time with or thinking about people who have qualities I admire and wish to develop in myself, thereby positively influencing my own sense of self. 第二节(20分) 【答案】Dear Alvin, I’m writing to share with you an amazing activity of calligraphy art experience that took place in our school club recently. First, we copied calligraphy from copybooks, carefully imitating the strokes and structures. Then, we had the privilege of appreciating magnificent works of renowned calligraphers. The elegance and charm in those masterpieces truly amazed us. This activity gave me a profound understanding of the aesthetics of traditional Chinese culture presented by calligraphy. The combination of the artistic expression and the profound meanings behind each character made me realize the depth and beauty of our heritage. I’m really curious to know about your recent experiences of club activities at school. Have you participated in any interesting ones? Best wishes!

A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee. Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family. What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations. 24．Who might Lionel Richie be? A．A writer. B．A friend of Jeff’s. C．A well-known musician. D．A member of The Steeles. 25．What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A．Jeff’s crucial role in his group. B．Jeff’s influence on other artists. C．Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D．Jeff’s extraordinary achievements. 26．What is special about Be the Reason? A．It was completed by Brad himself. B．It contains a multi-generational feel. C．It displays people from all walks of life. D．It received a Dove Awards nomination. 27．Which of the following can best describe Jeff? A．Talented and devoted. B．Tough and generous. C．Scholarly and friendly. D．Ambitious and imaginative. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了Jeff Steele的音乐之旅。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段“A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. (杰夫是个有天赋的歌手，他在高中时就开始写歌了。“我要成为下一个莱昂内尔·里奇，”他笑着回忆道)”可知Lionel Richie是一个著名的歌手。故选C项。 25．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others.

That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family. (在整个20世纪90年代，杰夫为日风乐队创作了一系列热门歌曲，包括为钢铁乐队创作的四首冠军歌曲。但杰夫不仅为他的乐队写歌，他还为其他艺术家录制他的歌曲，包括Greater Vision， The Florida Boys, The Perrys， The Gaither Vocal Band等。杰夫的努力获得了Karen Peck & New River、The Inspirations和Legacy Five的四项BMI广播单曲奖，以及The Steeles的一首流行歌曲。这首歌也获得了鸽子奖的提名，同样获得提名的还有The Collingsworth Family的《Not One Word》)”可知，第二段主要讲了杰夫的非凡成就。故选D项。 26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Perhaps this is because Brad - at age 30 - is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff - at age 63 - is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. (也许这是因为30岁的布拉德以年轻人的眼光展望未来，而63岁的杰夫则以智慧和经验的笔触书写。)”可知，《Be the Reason》具有多代人的视角与感受。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段“Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others.

But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the“timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go. The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. Artists used to focus on ideal forms of beauty. Genius was the “child of imitation”. Artists learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures. But such classical ideals were challenged by “discoveries”. Lord Elgin tried to fix up the magnificent friezes (雕带) that once beautified the Parthenon, but restorers refused. When the marbles (大理石雕像) went on display in 1807, British visitors did not see the perfect Roman sculptures they were used to. Timeless “ideals” paled in comparison with the timeworn marbles, and artists began to feel “cut off” from the classical tradition, writes Ms Gurstein. The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century Giorgio Vasari, an Italian painter, advanced an influential story of artistic progress that reached its peak in the realism of Raphael and Michelangelo. But in the 19th century John Ruskin, a critic, called attention to the pre-Raphaelite movement when he argued that the real “Old Masters” were actually Middle Ages Christian painters, Walter Pater, an English critic, later upgraded the individual interpretation of art as the most important criterion of judgment, planting the seeds for the aesthetic (审美) relativism that still dominates. Ms Gurstein’s narrative shows that the “status of a classic” depends on critics, and is proof to the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Taste evolves, and it should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or wokeness. It is silence. 28．What does the underlined words “written in water” mean? A．The way of writing a classic is special. B．The appreciation of classics is constant. C．The“timeless classic”changes over time D．The art classics are hard to understand. 29．Why does the author mention the “marbles” on display in paragraph 3? A．To highlight Lord Elgin's restoration efforts B．To show the popularity of Roman sculptures C．To argue for the preservation of ancient art. D．To demonstrate the change of classical tradition. 30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The rise of modern art. B．The development of artistic preferences, C．The techniques of old masters D．The transformation of creative methods, 31．What has a significant influence on aesthetic relativism? A．Realistic style. B．Ancient Christian art. C．Art critics’views. D．Historical narratives. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文是篇议论文。文章主要表达了艺术经典在历史长河中经历了起起伏伏，随着艺术本身的变化，人们对艺术的品味也在改变。经典作品的地位取决于评论家对艺术的看法，人们对经典的争论同时也促使艺术文化继续发展。 28．词义猜测题。根据第一段“Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the“timeless classic” is anything but.”（艺术经典被认为具有某种神秘的吸引力，这种吸引力将持续存在于各个时代。但正如历史学家Rochelle Gurstein在一本新书中所写的那样，“永恒的经典”绝非如此。）可知，“timeless classic(永恒的经典)”并不是一直有吸引力，保持不变的；结合下文“Classics come and go.”（经典作品来来去去。）可知，经典作品随着时间的变化也是来来去去，不断改变的，故“What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,”（我相信写在石头上的东西实际上是写在水里的，）中的“written in water”是指这些永恒的经典作品实际上是随着时间的推移而改变的。故选C。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段“Timeless “ideals”paled in comparison with the timeworn marbles, and artists began to feel “cut off” from the classical tradition, writes Ms Gurstein.”（Ms Gurstein写道，永恒的“理想”与陈旧的大理石雕像相比显得苍白，艺术家们开始感到与经典传统“隔绝”了。）可知，作者提到展出的“大理石雕像”是为了证明经典传统的变化。故选D。 30．主旨大意题。根据第四段主题句“The writing of art history has also changed tastes.”（艺术史的写作也改变了人们的品味。）和该段内容可知，该段主要讲述了人们对艺术品味的变化和发展，即艺术偏好的发展。故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ms Gurstein’s narrative shows that the “status of a classic” depends on critics, and is proof to the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art.”（Ms Gurstein的叙述表明，“经典作品的地位”取决于评论家，并证明了热情的评论家改变人们看待艺术的方式的力量。）可知，艺术评论家对经典作品的看法和观点决定了艺术经典作品的地位，可以改变人们对艺术作品的审美，对人们的审美相对论产生了非常重要的影响。故选C。 D What does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the only options? In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous. After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesn’t necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesse’s character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit. Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want? In a new study, Qishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many people’s self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany. These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer. These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence. As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you. 32．What does Oishi’s research indicate? A．The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life. B．Undoing regrettable events has enriched many people’s lives. C．A hidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people. D．People with psychological richness tend to describe their lives as ideal. 33．We can learn from the passage that ________. A．purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significance B．the choice of a good life differs from person to person C．a positive mindset helps us understand our well-being D．we should never be content and always strive for the best 34．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To compare different concepts of a good life. B．To explain how to live a psychologically rich life. C．To persuade people to attain psychological richness. D．To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提出除了传统观念的好的生活之外，另一种好生活——心理丰富的生活应该得到关注。 32．细节理解题。根据倒第二段“These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.(这些发现表明，虽然大多数人努力让自己快乐，让自己的生活有意义，但仍有相当数量的人仅仅满足于心理上丰富的生活)”可知，Oishi的调查表明，在一些人当中，隐藏着一种对心理丰富的渴望。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.(然而，当被迫选择一种生活时，大多数人选择了幸福的生活和有意义的生活。即便如此，仍有一小部分人青睐心理富裕的生活，从新加坡的6.7%到德国的16.8%不等)”可知，大多数人选择了幸福的生活和有意义的生活，但仍有一小部分人青睐心理富裕的生活，由此可知，对于好的生活的选择因人而异。故选B。 34．推理判断题。文章第一段中提出问题“What does it mean to live a good life? (过好生活意味着什么？)”，指出“In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice.(在心理学领域，关于美好生活的两个主要概念一直很流行：一个是充满快乐和积极情绪的幸福生活，一个是充满目标和牺牲的有意义的生活)”，然后提出问题“ But what if these aren’t the only options?(但如果这些不是唯一的选择呢？)”，由此可知，文章提出一种不与传统概念相同的另一种好的生活的选择，并在第二段中提出“In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. (近年来，一个长期被忽视的美好生活的版本越来越受到关注：心理丰富的生活)”可知，这篇文章的主要目的是让人们注意到不太熟悉的美好生活。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Thinking is an essential part of our daily lives. We analyze, reason and think carefully to make decisions and solve problems. 35 This phenomenon is often called “thinking without thinking”, in other words, intuition (直觉) and it has attracted philosophers, psychologists and scientists for centuries. While intuition may seem mysterious and magical for most of us, research has explained the potential abilities that enable our minds to engage in thinking without thinking. Gladwell, a writer for The New Yorker, explores many studies and real-life examples. 36 One such study involved examining the ability of art experts to determine the authenticity (真实性) of an artwork. 37 They have sharpened their intuition through years of experience and exposure to various art styles and techniques. Researchers have proven that the brain can make unbelievably accurate assessments based on cues and patterns our conscious mind might overlook from an experimental viewpoint. 38 Leaders who listen to their intuitive wisdom make innovative decisions that lead to success in business. In personal relationships, intuitive insights can help us understand the needs and feelings of others, building deeper connections. Although intuition can provide valuable insights, it is not rock-solid. 39 To better use the power of intuition effectively, we can adopt a few essential practices. Besides engaging in activities that enable your mind to gather valuable knowledge and patterns, seeking third-party judgements to confirm or challenge your intuitive insights is very important. These practices help to develop a deeper understanding of the factors influencing your intuition. A．They demonstrate the power of intuition. B．Intuition is a kind of imagination for experts. C．Sometimes emotional influences may cloud our judgments. D．Intuition serves as a guide in both personal and professional fields. E．The study discovered they made accurate judgments within seconds. F．The brain processes vast amounts of information and intuition results from the information. G．However, sometimes our minds skip the thinking process and arrive at immediate conclusions. 【答案】35．G 36．A 37．E 38．D 39．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了直觉的力量、依据以及如何更好地利用直觉的建议。 35．根据上文“Thinking is an essential part of our daily lives. We analyze, reason and think carefully to make decisions and solve problems. (思考是我们日常生活中必不可少的一部分。我们仔细分析、推理和思考以做出决策和解决问题。)”及下文“This phenomenon is often called “thinking without thinking”, in other words, intuition(直觉) and it has attracted philosophers, psychologists and scientists for centuries. (这种现象通常被称为“无思之思”，换句话说，就是直觉。几个世纪以来，它一直吸引着哲学家、心理学家和科学家。)”可知，前后为转折关系，空处承上启下，与G项“However, sometimes our minds skip the thinking process and arrive at immediate conclusions. (然而，有时我们的大脑会跳过思考过程并立即得出结论。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选G项。 36．根据上文“Gladwell, a writer for The New Yorker, explores many studies and real- life examples. (Gladwell是《纽约客》的作家，他探讨了许多研究和现实生活中的例子。)”可知下文与这些例子有关，与A项“They demonstrate the power of intuition. (他们展示了直觉的力量。)”上下文一致，符合文意，They指代examples，故选A项。 37．根据下文“They have sharpened their intuition through years of experience and exposure to various art styles and techniques. (他们通过多年的经验和接触各种艺术风格和技巧，磨练了自己的直觉。)”可知，上文是讲述与直觉有关的研究发现，与E项“The study discovered they made accurate judgments within seconds. (研究发现，他们可以在几秒钟内做出准确的判断。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选E项。 38．根据下文“Leaders who listen to their intuitive wisdom make innovative decisions that lead to success in business. In personal relationships, intuitive insights can help us understand the needs and feelings of others, building deeper connections. (倾听他们直觉智慧的领导者会做出创新决策，从而在业务上取得成功。在人际关系中，直觉洞察可以帮助我们理解他人的需求和感受，建立更深层次的联系。)”可知，下文分别从商业和个人关系方面提到了直觉的作用，与D项“Intuition serves as a guide in both personal and professional fields. (直觉在个人和专业领域都可以作为指南。)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选D项。 39．根据上文“Although intuition can provide valuable insights, it is not rock- solid. (虽然直觉能提供有价值的见解，但它并非坚如磐石。)”可知，直觉有时候也是会影响判断的，与C项“Sometimes emotional influences may cloud our judgments. (有时情绪影响可能会蒙蔽我们的判断。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says I’m much more impatient with her when I’m filming Sherlock.” A recent finding doesn’t involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers’ sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events. After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self - knowledge was now changed—their self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those they’d given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term “confident” was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend’s personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. “By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person” said Meyer and her colleagues. By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways. “As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore” write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks, but even our sense of who we are.” 40．Why did Benedict become much more impatient when filming Sherlock? 41．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? 42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why. After taking the perspective of another, the self-knowledge of volunteers was changed—their self-scores reached a higher level than before. 43．How would you make use of the finding? (about 40 words) 【答案】40．Because he experience a blending of his real self with his assumed characters. 41．It means that another person's characteristic will influence your own even when spending some time thinking about that person. 42．After taking the perspective of another, the self-knowledge of volunteers was changed - their self scores reached a higher level than before. According to the finding, the volunteers’ self-scores would be more similar to those whose perspective they took. So the self-scores would not necessarily be higher. They could also be lower. 43．I would make use of the finding by spending time with or thinking about people who have qualities I admire and wish to develop in myself, thereby positively influencing my own sense of self. 【导语】本文属于说明文。文章解释了一项心理学研究的结果，即人们的自我认知如何受到思考他人影响的变化，并探讨了这一现象的意义。 40．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中“There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says I’m much more impatient with her when I’m filming Sherlock.” (有确凿的证据表明，演员会将真实的自己与他们所扮演的角色融合在一起。例如，本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇说：“我妈妈说我在拍摄《神探夏洛克》时对她更不耐烦。”)”可知，Benedict在拍摄《神探夏洛克》时变得更加不耐烦是因为他真实的自我与他扮演的角色之间产生了混合。故答案为：Because he experienced a blending of his real self with his assumed characters. 41．考查词句猜测。根据文章第二段中“Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events. (在几项研究中，这些研究人员要求志愿者首先评价自己的个性、记忆力或身体特征，然后从另一个人的角度来执行同样的任务。例如，他们可能会对各种个人记忆的情绪进行评分，然后对朋友或亲戚如何经历同样的事件进行评分。)”和第三段“After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self- knowledge was now changed—their self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those they’d given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term “confident” was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend’s personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident.  (在从另一个人的角度出发后，志愿者们再次给自己打分：一致的发现是，他们的自我认知现在发生了变化——他们的自我评分变得更接近于他们给别人的评分。例如，如果他们一开始说“自信”这个词与自己的关系一般，然后认为这个词与朋友的性格有很强的关系，当他们重新给自己打分时，他们现在倾向于认为自己更自信了。)”可知，思考另一个人会影响并改变我们的自我认知。所以该句意为“即使花一些时间思考另一个人，他的性格也会影响你自己的性格。”故答案为：It means that another person's characteristic will influence your own even when spending some time thinking about that person. 42．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中“After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self- knowledge was now changed—their self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those they’d given for someone else. (在从另一个人的角度出发后，志愿者们再次给自己打分：一致的发现是，他们的自我认知现在发生了变化——他们的自我评分变得更接近于他们给别人的评分。)”可知，根据这一发现，志愿者的自我评分与他们所持观点的人更相似，因此自我评分不一定更高，也可能更低。故答案为：After taking the perspective of another, the self-knowledge of volunteers was changed—— their self scores reached a higher level than before. According to the finding, the volunteers’ self-scores would be more similar to those whose perspective they took. So the self-scores would not necessarily be higher. They could also be lower. 43．开放性题目，此题要求回答会如何利用这一发现，答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我会利用这一发现，花时间与那些有我钦佩的品质并希望在自己身上发展的人相处或思考，从而积极影响我自己的自我意识。故答案为：I would make use of the finding by spending time with or thinking about people who have qualities I admire and wish to develop in myself, thereby positively influencing my own sense of self. 第二节(20分) 44．假定你是李华，最近你们高中社团开展了—次书法艺术体验交流活动。请你给美国朋友Alvin写一封邮件分享这次社团活动的经历，内容包括： 1.书法活动的具体过程，如临摹字帖、欣赏名家作品等； 2.你对书法所展现的中国传统文化之美的感想； 3.询问对方最近校园社团活动经历。 注意： 1.写作词数应为100个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇： calligraphy (书法)， copybook (字帖)， aesthetics (美感) Dear Alvin, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Alvin, I’m writing to share with you an amazing activity of calligraphy art experience that took place in our school club recently.
