Silk Roads
The Silk Roads were in use for about a thousand years, but this exhibition focuses on a defining period in history. Time witnessed significant connectivity of universal religions that linked communities across continents. The exhibition offers a unique chance to see objects from the silk Roads, from Tang Chinese ceramics (陶艺) for the Middle East ports to Indian garnets (石榴石) found in England.
You’ll meet figures whose stories are associated with the Silk Roads, including a legendary Chinese princess who shared silk farming with her new kingdom.
Hew Locke: what have we here?
In this groundbreaking new show, Locke (born 1959) offers a fresh perspective on the museum’s history and collection. Using interfering techniques, Locke restructures historical objects, from the earliest surviving drawings of native Americans by a European artist to a Guyanese Akawaio feather decoration.
Picasso: printmaker
The museum holds the UK’s largest collection of Picasso’s prints. It includes a series of 100 etchings (蚀刻版画) made in the 1930s that shows the influence of classical art on Picasso’s work and reflects his chaotic personal life.
Picasso’s focus on lithography (平板印刷术) is explored, as is his move to the South of France, marking a change of lifestyle evident in his work, Themes include the circus and love, and Picasso’s interactions on paper with artists from the past, The exhibition ends with a selection from the 347 Suite, which Picasso completed aged 86 in 1968, in a remarkable burst of late creativity.

Cats may seem solid, but they’re actually somewhat liquid. Inspired by photos of cats pouring themselves into vases and fitting into narrow openings, biologist Péter Pongrácz has tested dozens of cats to see when they act more like liquids or solids.
Cats fluidly (流畅地) move through tall and narrow places but hesitate when they approach uncomfortably short holes, Pongrácz reports in the Oct.18 iScience. The finding suggests that cats are aware of their own body size and may form mental images of themselves.
Because cats prefer to live alone, they are difficult to test in the lab. So Pongrácz brought the lab to the cats. With help from colleagues, he built a movable lab that they set up in 29homes.
In each home, the team attached two cardboard panels to a doorframe: one with five rectangular (矩形的) holes of the same height but decreasing width and another with five holes of the same width but decreasing height. An owner stood on one side of the panel while the cat and the experimenter stood on the other. For each trial, the cat had to squeeze (挤过) from the experimenter’s side to the owner’s side through the holes while being filmed.
Thirty out of 38 cats finished the experiment. When faced with holes of varying height, 22 cats hesitated to go through the shortest. When the holes varied in width, only eight cats paused before approaching the narrowest hole. Most cats squeezed through slim openings without hesitating.
Hesitation may be a self-preservation method, Pongrácz says. If a cat forces itself through a hole without being able to see what’s on the other side, the cat may be exposed to potential threats. That some cats paused in the safety of their homes suggests that they also rely on their body size to plan their approach.
24. What makes it difficult to test the cats in the lab?
A. Their size. B. Their flexibility. C. Their height. D. Their character.
25. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Results of the experiment. B. Subjects of the experiment.
C. Methods of the experiment. D. Principles of the experiment.
26. Why did some cats hesitate even before holes leading to their homes?
A. They failed to figure out their body size.
B. They worried about getting stuck in the hole.
C. They hated being handled by the experimenter.
D. They were afraid of the danger on the other side.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. One scientist puts cats’ liquid nature to test
B. Solid or liquid, that is out of the question
C. Cats act more like liquids when in danger
D. Hesitation keeps cats safe from danger
C
Have you ever wondered why creative individuals seem to spot things that other miss? whether it’s an inventor who finds an innovative solution to a familiar problem or an artist who reinterprets a landscape in a fresh way, many creative people have a special ability to find significance even in ordinary things.
Think about Isaac Newton’s famous insight into gravity. According to the story, Newton saw an apple fall from a tree ― something most people might view as unimportant. Yet, in this instance, he saw the apple’s fall as significant, causing him to think about it more deeply. Entertaining the potential importance of this seemingly irrelevant occurrence led to a breakthrough connection: that the same force causing the apple to fall also influences celestial bodies like the Moon.
In this example the creative individual’s brain flags unusual or ‘irrelevant’ information as significant, stimulating them to explore it further. This exploration allows them to consider remote ideas and associations that others overlook, increasing the possibility of a creative insight. A similar process likely unfolds in artistic contexts, such as when a painter, musician or filmmaker sees a seemingly irrelevant detail as meaningful. For instance, an artist may find themselves captivated by the shadow cast by an object, finding it more interesting than the object itself. This might inspire a series of works exploring the hidden beauty of shadows.
The uniqueness of creative individuals lies in their ability to perceive and prioritise information in distinctive ways, welcoming the unconventional and unexpected, which helps them think outside the box and come up with original ideas.
28. Why does the author mention Newton’s story in the second paragraph?
A. To entertain the readers. B. To suspend disbelief.
C. To support a viewpoint. D. To explain a theory.
29. What does the underlined word “captivated” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Tricked. B. Misled. C. Attracted. D. Withdrawn.
30. What is key to boosting creativity according to the passage?
A. Removing irrelevant information. B. Perceiving what other people ignore.
C. Giving priority to unimportant details. D. Spotting the most obvious information.
31. What can we infer from the passage?
A. What is unconventional and unexpected guarantees original ideas
B. Ordinary people tend to overlook relevant and important information.
C. What seems irrelevant sometimes is likely to bring about creative insight
D. Creative individuals are born with the ability to spot significance in things.
D
Memes (模因) didn’t start with the internet. Some linguists argue that humans have used memes to communicate for centuries. Memes are widely known as channels for cultural conversations and as an opportunity to participate in Internet trends.
The word “meme” has been used in the New York Times Crossword 60 times since the column started in the 1940s. Although it’s difficult to identify the first meme ever, the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is credited with coining the term in his 1976 book, “The Selfsh Gene.” In his original conception, a “meme” was somewhat similar to a “phoneme,” the smallest unit of sound in speech.
“I would explain the concept of a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece of information ― by asking someone about an inside joke they had with friends or an advertising jingle (短曲) that’s been stuck in their head for 20 years,” said Kirby Conrod, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College. “That piece of information, the joke or the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like to share and repeat stuff.”
Memes are shareable by nature. In a world where you are constantly fed online news, the meme format catches your eye, and most of them can be read and understood within seconds. The power of a meme lies in its transmissibility (传递性) and unique talent for being cross-cultural. Creating and sharing memes boosts a sense of community online and brings people together through humor.
Meme culture is constantly developing, and the future of memes is unpredictable, but some of the internet’s most popular meme creators have thoughts on where it might be headed. Mr Price, of Memes.com, for example, predicted that in five years ― or sooner ― every cultural moment and every news story will have an accompanying meme, and that meme will be a large part of the mainstream conversation about that event. “Memes on the internet took what is already naturally occurring in the way that we communicate and supercharged it by making it global and simple,” he said.
What can I say? The girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don’t.
32. What can we learn about “meme” according to the first two paragraphs?
A. It only sounds like the word “gene”.
B. It made its first appearance in the 1940s
C. It is the smallest sound unit in speech.
D. It was a term first introduced by Mr. Dawkins.
33. What does Professor Conrod think of memes?
A. They allow for cultural diversity online.
B. They spread humor and political messages.
C. They make advertising shareable and readable.
D. They are frequently shared and repeated by humans.
34. What is Mr. Price’s attitude towards the future of memes?
A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Negative. D. Objective.
35. How do you understand the last paragraph?
A. The target reader of the article are girls
B. It implies a certain famous meme story.
C. The author has doubts about the essay.
D. It has nothing to do with this article.

Building habits of group vulnerability(脫弱)is like building a muscle. It takes time repetition, and the willingness to feel pain in order to achieve gains.____36____With that in mind, here are a few workout ideas, for both individuals and groups.
Make sure the leader is vulnerable first and often: As we’ve seen group cooperation is created by small, frequently repeated moments of vulnerability.____37____
I saw a vivid example when I watched Danny Meyer run one of his morning meetings with his staff, Meyer is the founder of Union Square Cafe, Shake Shack, Gramercy Tavern, and a number of other restaurants that together are worth more than a billion dollars.____38____The staff meeting began with the group watching a video of Meyer's speech. Then the lights went up and Meyer spoke.
“Can you see my leg shaking?” he asked the group.”____39____I’ve given a lot of speeches, but the TED people wanted something more, something deeper and thoughtful. So I slept about three hours the night before, which is why I have those bags under my eyes. We had a terrible rehearsal (排练), and I kept messing up the PowerPoint. So it was almost a complete terrible show. Except that I’m lucky enough to have some absolutely brilliant help.” He paused and pointed. “Thanks, Chip and Haley. They made the whole thing work. They wrote great stuff, gave me great advice, and kept me together,” Everyone looked at Chip and Haley and gave a short round of applause while Meyer looked on approvingly.
Meyer delivered the message was scared with steadiness, confidence, and comfort that underlined the deeper message: It’s safe to tell the truth here.____40____
A. I was so nervou shaking like a leaf.
B. His vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s his strength.
C. Danny Meyer is a restaurant founder from St. Louis, Missouri.
D. The night before my visit, he had delivered his first-ever TED Talk.
E. And as with building muscle, the first key is to approach the process with a plan.
F. Gentle pressure is my preferred technique for leadership, guidance, and coaching.
G. Of these, none carries more power than the moment when a leader signals vulnerability.

At first, I ____43____ with this. But it’s true that focusing on the tiny details isn’t something I ____44____ excel at, or even enjoy as much as my ____45____ do. I knew all this at some level. Still, hearing it from my adviser pushed me to really____46____ my strengths and interest.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, doctors gave my parents the difficult news: I was born missing my left hand.
Indeed, that announcement of my limb difference might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. I’m told that a nurse placed me m my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home. You will love her. you will raise her like you would any child. You will treat her as normal”
My parents took that instruction seriously, I played sport, acted in theatre, excelled in school, participated in student government and had playdates. while I did set some stares and ‘polite’ questions about my disability, I am lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for my limb difference.
As kids do, I learned to adapt. One of earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him out of the way because his two=handed method wouldn’t work for me, and I figured out a way to do it with one hand. Not every challenge was that simple, however. Because my parents were trying so hard to make me feel ‘normal’, that also meant I didn’t really have space to talk about my limb difference ― and it was different. No matter how hard we tried, other kids had two hands and I had only one.
The fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. The staring upset me in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I immediately slipped it into my pocket.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The journey of hiding to unhiding is hard, but the efforts were rewarding.

M:You know, I think my parents were kind of right. But back then, sidewalks were wider, there weren't as many cars as there are today, and people drove slower. I agree that facing some challenges is good, but times have changed, my dear.
W: Sure, but we shouldn't be too protective. It's not even two miles. A little challenge won't hurt him. We could drive him on bad days and let him go on his own when the weather is fine. He needs exercise and independence, right?
M: Maybe we can ride bikes along with Johnny on those long summer evenings before school starts.
W: Alright, let's see how it goes.

【原文】M: Today, as I reflect on my first year of volunteering at the local animal shelter, I want to share a story that touched my heart. Early in the year, we rescued a shy, hurt dog named benny. Benny was more than just another rescued animal. He became a symbol of hope and the power of love for us. As we brought him back to health, we all realize there was something special about this dog. It's hard to put into words that feeling of connection with an animal. All of us put in extra care for benny.
As he trusted us more, he became more playful and smarter and would wag his tail. He took training well too. Eventually when he saw a young couple come to find a dog. Then he wagged his tail like never before. The couple loved him at first sight and adopted him on their first visit. Every so often they would contact and send photos of him. I know as a volunteer, I am helping not just animals but people. This experience has given me lessons on sympathy and teamwork.
It gives me great Joy to know that I really do make a difference. Volunteering here isn't just about the animals, it's about bringing us together on two legs or four, we're all stronger together. I encourage all of you to consider joining the team in some way.

B
Cats may seem solid, but they’re actually somewhat liquid. Inspired by photos of cats pouring themselves into vases and fitting into narrow openings, biologist Péter Pongrácz has tested dozens of cats to see when they act more like liquids or solids.
Cats fluidly (流畅地) move through tall and narrow places but hesitate when they approach uncomfortably short holes, Pongrácz reports in the Oct.18 iScience. The finding suggests that cats are aware of their own body size and may form mental images of themselves.
Because cats prefer to live alone, they are difficult to test in the lab. So Pongrácz brought the lab to the cats. With help from colleagues, he built a movable lab that they set up in 29homes.
In each home, the team attached two cardboard panels to a doorframe: one with five rectangular (矩形的) holes of the same height but decreasing width and another with five holes of the same width but decreasing height. An owner stood on one side of the panel while the cat and the experimenter stood on the other. For each trial, the cat had to squeeze (挤过) from the experimenter’s side to the owner’s side through the holes while being filmed.
Thirty out of 38 cats finished the experiment. When faced with holes of varying height, 22 cats hesitated to go through the shortest. When the holes varied in width, only eight cats paused before approaching the narrowest hole. Most cats squeezed through slim openings without hesitating.
Hesitation may be a self-preservation method, Pongrácz says. If a cat forces itself through a hole without being able to see what’s on the other side, the cat may be exposed to potential threats. That some cats paused in the safety of their homes suggests that they also rely on their body size to plan their approach.
24. What makes it difficult to test the cats in the lab?
A. Their size. B. Their flexibility. C. Their height. D. Their character.
25. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Results of the experiment. B. Subjects of the experiment.
C. Methods of the experiment. D. Principles of the experiment.
26. Why did some cats hesitate even before holes leading to their homes?
A. They failed to figure out their body size.
B. They worried about getting stuck in the hole.
C. They hated being handled by the experimenter.
D. They were afraid of the danger on the other side.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. One scientist puts cats’ liquid nature to test
B. Solid or liquid, that is out of the question
C. Cats act more like liquids when in danger
D. Hesitation keeps cats safe from danger
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了生物学家Péter Pongrácz受猫咪钻进花瓶和狭窄开口的照片启发,测试猫咪在何时更像液体或固体,实验发现猫咪会根据自身身体大小和对危险的判断来决定是否通过洞口。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Because cats prefer to live alone, they are difficult to test in the lab. (因为猫喜欢独居,所以它们很难在实验室里进行测试)”可知,是猫的独居性格使得在实验室测试它们变得困难。故选D项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“In each home, the team attached two cardboard panels to a doorframe: one with five rectangular (矩形的) holes of the same height but decreasing width and another with five holes of the same width but decreasing height. An owner stood on one side of the panel while the cat and the experimenter stood on the other. For each trial, the cat had to squeeze (挤过) from the experimenter’s side to the owner’s side through the holes while being filmed.(在每个家中,研究小组将两块纸板固定在门框上:一块上有五个高度相同但宽度逐渐减小的矩形孔,另一块上有五个宽度相同但高度逐渐减小的孔。房主站在纸板的一侧,而猫和实验者站在另一侧。在每次试验中,猫必须从实验者的那一侧通过这些孔挤到房主的那一侧,整个过程被拍摄下来)”可知,本段主要介绍了在每个家庭中,研究团队在门框上安装两个纸板面板,一个有五个高度相同但宽度递减的矩形孔,另一个有五个宽度相同但高度递减的孔,主人站在面板的一侧,猫和实验者站在另一侧,猫要从实验者一侧通过这些孔挤到主人一侧并被拍摄下来,这都是在介绍实验的方法。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If a cat forces itself through a hole without being able to see what's on the other side, the cat may be exposed to potential threats. (如果一只猫在看不到另一边情况的情况下强行穿过一个洞,它可能会面临潜在的威胁)”以及最后一句“That some cats paused in the safety of their homes suggests that they also rely on their body size to plan their approach.(一些猫在自家安全的情况下也会犹豫,这表明它们也依靠自己的体型来计划行动方式)”可推知,一些猫即使在通向自家的洞口前也会犹豫,是因为它们担心被困在洞里。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cats may seem solid, but they’re actually somewhat liquid. Inspired by photos of cats pouring themselves into vases and fitting into narrow openings, biologist Péter Pongrácz has tested dozens of cats to see when they act more like liquids or solids.( 猫看起来可能是固体的,但实际上它们在某种程度上更像液体。受到猫钻进花瓶并适应狭窄开口的照片的启发,生物学家Péter Pongrácz测试了几十只猫,以观察它们在何时表现得更像液体或固体)”、第三段“Because cats prefer to live alone, they are difficult to test in the lab. (因为猫喜欢独居,所以它们很难在实验室里进行测试)”、最后一段“If a cat forces itself through a hole without being able to see what's on the other side, the cat may be exposed to potential threats. (如果一只猫在看不到另一边情况的情况下强行穿过一个洞,它可能会面临潜在的威胁)”以及最后一句“That some cats paused in the safety of their homes suggests that they also rely on their body size to plan their approach.(一些猫在自家安全的情况下也会犹豫,这表明它们也依靠自己的体型来计划行动方式)”可知,文章开篇指出猫看起来是固体,但实际上有点像液体,生物学家Péter Pongrácz对猫进行了测试,后面详细介绍了实验过程和结果,A项“One scientist puts cats’ liquid nature to test (一位科学家对猫的液体特性进行测试)”表达的含义能概括文章主旨,是最佳标题。故选A项。
C
Have you ever wondered why creative individuals seem to spot things that other miss? whether it’s an inventor who finds an innovative solution to a familiar problem or an artist who reinterprets a landscape in a fresh way, many creative people have a special ability to find significance even in ordinary things.
Think about Isaac Newton’s famous insight into gravity. According to the story, Newton saw an apple fall from a tree ― something most people might view as unimportant. Yet, in this instance, he saw the apple’s fall as significant, causing him to think about it more deeply. Entertaining the potential importance of this seemingly irrelevant occurrence led to a breakthrough connection: that the same force causing the apple to fall also influences celestial bodies like the Moon.
In this example, the creative individual’s brain flags unusual or ‘irrelevant’ information as significant, stimulating them to explore it further. This exploration allows them to consider remote ideas and associations that others overlook, increasing the possibility of a creative insight. A similar process likely unfolds in artistic contexts, such as when a painter, musician or filmmaker sees a seemingly irrelevant detail as meaningful. For instance, an artist may find themselves captivated by the shadow cast by an object, finding it more interesting than the object itself. This might inspire a series of works exploring the hidden beauty of shadows.
The uniqueness of creative individuals lies in their ability to perceive and prioritise information in distinctive ways, welcoming the unconventional and unexpected, which helps them think outside the box and come up with original ideas.
28. Why does the author mention Newton’s story in the second paragraph?
A. To entertain the readers. B. To suspend disbelief.
C. To support a viewpoint. D. To explain a theory.
29. What does the underlined word “captivated” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Tricked. B. Misled. C. Attracted. D. Withdrawn.
30. What is key to boosting creativity according to the passage?
A. Removing irrelevant information. B. Perceiving what other people ignore.
C. Giving priority to unimportant details. D. Spotting the most obvious information.
31. What can we infer from the passage?
A What is unconventional and unexpected guarantees original ideas
B. Ordinary people tend to overlook relevant and important information.
C. What seems irrelevant sometimes is likely to bring about creative insight
D. Creative individuals are born with the ability to spot significance in things.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,阐述了有创造力的人能发现别人忽视的事物,他们的大脑会将不寻常或“不相关”的信息标记为重要,从而刺激他们进一步探索,进而产生创造性的见解。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段提出观点“creative individuals seem to spot things that other miss(有创造力的人似乎能发现别人错过的东西)”、第二段“Think about Isaac Newton’s famous insight into gravity. According to the story, Newton saw an apple fall from a tree ― something most people might view as unimportant. Yet, in this instance, he saw the apple’s fall as significant, causing him to think about it more deeply. Entertaining the potential importance of this seemingly irrelevant occurrence led to a breakthrough connection: that the same force causing the apple to fall also influences celestial bodies like the Moon(想一想艾萨克·牛顿关于引力的著名见解。据这个故事说,牛顿看到一颗苹果从树上落下——这是大多数人可能认为不重要的事情。然而,在这个例子中,他把这个苹果的掉落看作是重要的,促使他更深入地思考。对这一看似不相关的事件的潜在重要性进行思考,导致了突破性的联系:即导致苹果掉落的同样力量也影响着像月球这样的天体)”可知,第一段提出了观点“有创造力的人似乎能发现别人错过的东西”,第二段讲述牛顿看到苹果落地这个大多数人认为不重要的事却深入思考得出重力的理论,是为了支持第一段提出的观点,故选C项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“an artist may find themselvescaptivated by the shadow cast by an object, finding it more interesting than the object itself.(一位艺术家可能会发现自己被一个物体投下的阴影所captivated,发现它比物体本身更有趣)”可知,艺术家可能会发现物体投下的阴影比物体本身更有趣。可推理出这里是说艺术家被阴影所吸引,所以captivated的意思是“吸引”,故选C项。
30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“creative individuals seem to spot things that other miss(有创造力的人似乎能发现别人错过的东西)”以及第三段“The uniqueness of creative individuals lies in their ability to perceive and prioritise information in distinctive ways, welcoming the unconventional and unexpected, which helps them think outside the box and come up with original ideas(有创造力的人的独特之处在于他们能够以独特的方式感知和优先处理信息,欢迎非传统和意外的事物,这有助于他们跳出框框思考并提出原创想法)”可知,提升创造力的关键是感知别人忽视的东西。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Think about Isaac Newton’s famous insight into gravity. According to the story, Newton saw an apple fall from a tree ― something most people might view as unimportant. Yet, in this instance, he saw the apple's fall as significant, causing him to think about it more deeply. Entertaining the potential importance of this seemingly irrelevant occurrence led to a breakthrough connection: that the same force causing the apple to fall also influences celestial bodies like the Moon(想一想艾萨克·牛顿关于引力的著名见解。据这个故事说,牛顿看到一颗苹果从树上落下——这是大多数人可能认为不重要的事情。然而,在这个例子中,他把这个苹果的掉落看作是重要的,促使他更深入地思考。对这一看似不相关的事件的潜在重要性进行思考,导致了突破性的联系:即导致苹果掉落的同样力量也影响着像月球这样的天体)”可知,牛顿从苹果落地这一看起来不相关的事件中得到重力的突破。再根据第三段“This exploration allows them to consider remote ideas and associations that others overlook, increasing the possibility of a creative insight. A similar process likely unfolds in artistic contexts, such as when a painter, musician or filmmaker sees a seemingly irrelevant detail as meaningful (这种探索使他们能够思考别人忽视的遥远想法和联系,增加了获得创造性见解的可能性。在艺术情境中,可能也会展开类似的过程,例如,当画家、音乐家或电影制作人认为一个看似不相关的细节是有意义的时候)”可知,感知别人忽视的东西使他们能够思考别人忽视的遥远想法和联系,增加了获得创造性见解的可能性。可推理出有时看似不相关的事物有可能带来创造性的见解。故选C项。
D
Memes (模因) didn’t start with the internet. Some linguists argue that humans have used memes to communicate for centuries. Memes are widely known as channels for cultural conversations and as an opportunity to participate in Internet trends.
The word “meme” has been used in the New York Times Crossword 60 times since the column started in the 1940s. Although it’s difficult to identify the first meme ever, the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is credited with coining the term in his 1976 book, “The Selfsh Gene.” In his original conception, a “meme” was somewhat similar to a “phoneme,” the smallest unit of sound in speech.
“I would explain the concept of a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece of information ― by asking someone about an inside joke they had with friends or an advertising jingle (短曲) that’s been stuck in their head for 20 years,” said Kirby Conrod, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College. “That piece of information, the joke or the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like to share and repeat stuff.”
Memes are shareable by nature. In a world where you are constantly fed online news, the meme format catches your eye, and most of them can be read and understood within seconds. The power of a meme lies in its transmissibility (传递性) and unique talent for being cross-cultural. Creating and sharing memes boosts a sense of community online and brings people together through humor.
Meme culture is constantly developing, and the future of memes is unpredictable, but some of the internet’s most popular meme creators have thoughts on where it might be headed. Mr Price, of Memes.com, for example, predicted that in five years ― or sooner ― every cultural moment and every news story will have an accompanying meme, and that meme will be a large part of the mainstream conversation about that event. “Memes on the internet took what is already naturally occurring in the way that we communicate and supercharged it by making it global and simple,” he said.
What can I say? The girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don’t.
32. What can we learn about “meme” according to the first two paragraphs?
A. It only sounds like the word “gene”.
B. It made its first appearance in the 1940s
C. It is the smallest sound unit in speech.
D. It was a term first introduced by Mr. Dawkins.
33. What does Professor Conrod think of memes?
A. They allow for cultural diversity online.
B. They spread humor and political messages.
C. They make advertising shareable and readable.
D. They are frequently shared and repeated by humans.
34. What is Mr. Price’s attitude towards the future of memes?
A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Negative. D. Objective.
35. How do you understand the last paragraph?
A. The target reader of the article are girls
B. It implies a certain famous meme story.
C. The author has doubts about the essay.
D. It has nothing to do with this article.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了模因的起源,定义以及特点等。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although it’s difficult to identify the first meme ever, the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is credited with coining the term in his1976 book, “The Selfsh Gene.”(尽管很难确定第一个模因,但英国进化生物学家理查德·道金斯 (Richard Dawkins) 在他 1976 年的著作《自私的基因》(The Selfsh Gene) 中创造了这个术语)”可知,“meme”这个术语是Dawkins先生首先提出的,故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““I would explain the concept of a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece of information ― by asking someone about an inside joke they had with friends or an advertising jingle (短曲) that’s been stuck in their head for 20 years,” said Kirby Conrod, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College. “That piece of information, the joke or the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like to share and repeat stuff.”(“我会通过询问某人与朋友的内部笑话或在他们脑海中扎根20 年的广告歌曲来解释模因(一种自我复制的信息)的概念。”斯沃斯莫尔学院语言学教授柯比·康罗德说。“这条信息,无论是笑话还是顺口溜,都会自我复制,因为我们人类喜欢分享和重复东西。”)”可知,教授柯比·康罗德认为 模因经常被人类共享和重复。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Mr Price, of Memes.com, for example, predicted that in five years ― or sooner ― every cultural moment and every news story will have an accompanying meme, and that meme will be a large part of the mainstream conversation about that event(例如,Memes.com 的普莱斯先生预测,五年内或更短的时间内,每个文化时刻和每个新闻故事都会有一个伴随的模因,而该模因将成为有关该事件的主流对话的重要组成部分)”可推知,普莱斯先生对模因的未来持乐观态度,故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“What can I say? The girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don’t.(我能说什么?懂的女孩就懂,不懂的女孩就不懂)”和第三段中“I would explain the concept of a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece of information ― by asking someone about an inside joke they had with friends or an advertising jingle ( 短曲 ) that’s been stuck in their head for 20 years(我会通过询问某人与朋友的内部笑话或在他们脑海中萦绕了 20 年的广告歌曲来解释模因(一种自我复制的信息)的概念)”可知,最后一段是一个模因,由此可推知,最后一段暗示着某个著名的模因故事,故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Building habits of group vulnerability(脫弱)is like building a muscle. It takes time repetition, and the willingness to feel pain in order to achieve gains.____36____With that in mind, here are a few workout ideas, for both individuals and groups.
Make sure the leader is vulnerable first and often: As we’ve seen, group cooperation is created by small, frequently repeated moments of vulnerability.____37____
I saw a vivid example when I watched Danny Meyer run one of his morning meetings with his staff, Meyer is the founder of Union Square Cafe, Shake Shack, Gramercy Tavern, and a number of other restaurants that together are worth more than a billion dollars.____38____The staff meeting began with the group watching a video of Meyer's speech. Then the lights went up and Meyer spoke.
“Can you see my leg shaking?” he asked the group.”____39____I’ve given a lot of speeches, but the TED people wanted something more, something deeper and thoughtful. So I slept about three hours the night before, which is why I have those bags under my eyes. We had a terrible rehearsal (排练), and I kept messing up the PowerPoint. So it was almost a complete terrible show. Except that I’m lucky enough to have some absolutely brilliant help.” He paused and pointed. “Thanks, Chip and Haley. They made the whole thing work. They wrote great stuff, gave me great advice, and kept me together,” Everyone looked at Chip and Haley and gave a short round of applause while Meyer looked on approvingly.
Meyer delivered the message was scared with steadiness, confidence, and comfort that underlined the deeper message: It’s safe to tell the truth here.____40____
A. I was so nervou shaking like a leaf.
B. His vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s his strength.
C. Danny Meyer is a restaurant founder from St. Louis, Missouri.
D. The night before my visit, he had delivered his first-ever TED Talk.
E. And as with building muscle, the first key is to approach the process with a plan.
F. Gentle pressure is my preferred technique for leadership, guidance, and coaching.
G. Of these, none carries more power than the moment when a leader signals vulnerability.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. D 39. A 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了培养团队示弱习惯的方法,以餐厅创始人丹尼・迈耶为例,说明了领导者率先示弱对团队合作的重要性。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Building habits of group vulnerability is like building a muscle. It takes time, repetition, and the willingness to feel pain in order to achieve gains(培养团队示弱的习惯就像锻炼肌肉。这需要时间、重复练习,以及为了取得进步而愿意承受痛苦的意愿)”以及下文“With that in mind, here are a few workout ideas, for both individuals and groups.(考虑到这一点,这里有一些针对个人和团队的 “锻炼” 想法)” 可知,此处需要一个过渡句,将培养团队示弱习惯与锻炼肌肉进行类比,并引出下文关于培养习惯的具体方法。E选项“And as with building muscle, the first key is to approach the process with a plan(就像锻炼肌肉一样,第一个关键是要有一个计划来进行这个过程)”符合语境,既提到了与锻炼肌肉的相似之处,又指出了要有计划,与下文的“锻炼”想法相呼应,故选E项。
【37题详解】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了莫高窟的相关情况,包括它的保护现状、艺术作品所展现的内容、艺术价值的构成元素以及其对研究中国艺术史的重要意义。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:如今,莫高窟的492个洞窟已被置于保护之下,被视为世界文化瑰宝。“under protection”是固定短语,意为“在保护之下”,故填under。
【57题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:虽然佛教是洞窟艺术作品的主要焦点,但它也展示了洞窟建造时该地区人们的文化、日常生活和故事。谓语动词construct与主语the caves之间是被动关系,要用被动语态;因句子表达的是过去发生的事情,所以使用一般过去时,主语为复数名词,be动词用were。故填were constructed。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在那里发现了融合了中国、印度甚至欧洲风格的艺术作品,以及来自各种宗教的经文、官方文件和通俗文学。修饰名词religions要用形容词作定语,“variety”的形容词形式是“various”,意为“各种各样的”,故填various。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意:所有这些元素使石窟不仅成为研究人员的丰富资源,而且对任何对历史感兴趣的人来说也是如此。“not just...but (also)…”是固定短语,意为“不仅…… 而且……”,故填but。
【60题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:莫高窟的艺术价值由三个元素组成:洞窟本身的建筑、雕塑和绘画。句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时;句子主语“The artistic value”是单数,所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故填consists。
【61题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:在所有洞窟中,最常见两种类型是西墙上有一个壁龛用来放置雕塑的洞窟,以及中间有一根柱子且上面覆盖着雕塑的洞窟。根据“among all the caves”可知,这里是在所有洞窟中进行比较,应用形容词的最高级形式,“common”的最高级是“most common”,故填most common。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空白处在句子中作后置定语,因与其逻辑主语a niche之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词,故填containing。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:几乎总是,墙壁和天花板上覆盖着佛教重要人物的画作、赞助者、佛教故事和经文,以及装饰艺术。根据“paintings of important figures in Buddhism(佛教重要人物的画作)”以及“Buddhist stories and scriptures(佛教故事和经文)”可知,这里应填表示人的名词,“contribute”指人的名词形式为“contributor”意为“赞助者”,因此处为泛指,使用其复数形式contributors,故填 contributors。
【64题详解】
考查形容词、名词。句意:同上。修饰名词art要用形容词作定语,“decorate”的形容词形式是 “decorative”,意为“装饰性的”;也可以用名词“decoration”作定语修饰art,“decoration art”意为“装饰艺术”,也符合句意,故填 decorative/decoration。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:通过这些艺术作品,可以清楚地观察到公元4世纪至14世纪中国绘画的发展,这表明了莫高窟对任何想要研究中国艺术史的人来说是多么有价值。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用which引导定语从句,故填which。

How to improve concentration
Good morning, everyone,
A recent survey has found that students these days can not concentrate long enough, arousing much concern.
I think there could be many underlying factors. The constant exposure to digital devices, for example, may result in decreased productivity, Prolonged hours of school work, meanwhile, may also hinder the ability to focus.
To improve the situation, we students should realize the importance of concentration, and exercise control. Besides, self-discipline of course comes first, but we can also turn to adults for help when necessary.
To sum up, immediate efforts should be made to address the problem and right the wrong. Thank you for your attention!

第二节 (满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, doctors gave my parents the difficult news: I was born missing my left hand.
Indeed, that announcement of my limb difference might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. I’m told that a nurse placed me m my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home. You will love her. you will raise her like you would any child. You will treat her as normal”
My parents took that instruction seriously, I played sport, acted in theatre, excelled in school, participated in student government and had playdates. while I did set some stares and ‘polite’ questions about my disability, I am lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for my limb difference.
As kids do, I learned to adapt. One of earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him out of the way because his two=handed method wouldn’t work for me, and I figured out a way to do it with one hand. Not every challenge was that simple, however. Because my parents were trying so hard to make me feel ‘normal’, that also meant I didn’t really have space to talk about my limb difference ― and it was different. No matter how hard we tried, other kids had two hands and I had only one.
The fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. The staring upset me in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I immediately slipped it into my pocket.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The journey of hiding to unhiding is hard, but the efforts were rewarding.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. I’d keep my hand in my pocket, cover it with extra-long sleeves or tuck it behind bags or underneath jackets. In my mind, I had decided that my missing hand made me extremely ugly and that if people knew about it they would not want to be around me anymore. I internalised this self-loathing, .and it only strengthened over the years, When I finally realized I was not thriving, I was determined to stop it.
The journey of hiding to unhiding was hard, but the efforts were rewarding. I learned that being comfortable with myself made other people more comfortable as well. Talking about my struggles gave them permission to talk about theirs as well, and I was able to bond on a deeper level with a much larger group of people. For 25 years, I’ve worked in non-profit organisations working with young people. Accepting my disability has sparked a passion in me to educate others about disability as part of diversity, through public speaking and writing.
【解析】
