Here are some fairs coming up in 2025. Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20 Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing. Expo Chicago: Chicago, Apr. 25-27 Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks. One of those was Claire Oliver Gallery of New York, which has participated in every edition so far. “We love this fair,” Claire Oliver said. “The visitors are engaged, ask great questions and are truly curious.” Tokyo Gendai: Yokohama, Sept. 12-14 Asian art fairs have been growing rapidly. The biggest regional player, Art Basel Hong Kong, was joined by Singapore’s Art SG in 2023, the same year as the first edition of Tokyo Gendai. The fair had 69 galleries showing contemporary art in July 2024 for its second edition. “The focus is on cutting-edge and contemporary work,” said Tim Blum, who runs the gallery Blum. Paris Photo: Paris, Nov. 13-16 Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors — we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas. 1. What is special about Art Dubai? A. Its active interaction. B. Its electronic artworks. C. Its cutting-edge collections. D. Its theme on photography. 2. Which fair has the longest history? A. Art Dubai. B. Expo Chicago. C. Tokyo Gendai. D. Paris Photo. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the work of artists. B. To make assessments on art market. C. To recommend upcoming art fairs. D. To predict future development of art. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2025年即将举办的四个艺术展览。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20部分中“The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs.(这次展会有一个数字作品展区，这在其他展会上并不常见)”可知，迪拜艺术博览会的特别之处是它的电子艺术品。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025.(巴黎摄影展每年举办一次，到2025年将迎来第28届)”可知，巴黎摄影展的历史最悠久。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The art market rises and falls, but art fairs are forever. Here are some fairs coming up in 2025.(艺术市场有起有落，但艺术博览会是永恒的。以下是2025年即将举办的一些展会)”可推知，文章的目的是介绍即将到来的艺术博览会。故选C项。 B At the Paris 2024 Olympics, sport climbing featured two medal events for men and women: Speed and a combined Boulder & Lead event. Behind the scenes, there is a crucial but often unseen figure — Martin Hammerer, head of the experienced team responsible for the Lead routes, who has been setting routes internationally since 2007. “The actual design took place at the climbing wall. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) pre-selected the material, which we then used to set the routes,” Hammerer explained when asked about his work in Paris. “We started with the finals — which was the highlight — and worked backward to the semi-finals. After completing a route, we photographed it, removed and stored the holds for later use.” The focus for the routesetters is to offer a challenging but also fair competition. Routes for the combined Boulder & Lead event were carefully designed to ensure that specialists in one discipline didn’t have an unfair advantage. “Our aim is to offer a balanced competition,” Hammerer said. “For the podiums (领奖台), the athletes have to be really strong in both disciplines.” Routesetting relies heavily on the team’s creativity. The style has changed over the past 15 years, with today’s routes looser and more dynamic. “The materials and structures have also changed greatly,” Hammerer said. “Every season we adapt to the athletes anew.” Routesetting used to be quite independent and greatly influenced climbing style. “But now, federations set training routes for athletes. When we see this on social media, we get new input for our work,” Hammerer reflected. As Hammerer once said, “Climbers evolve, and so must we.” He continues to shape the future of climbing — one route, one challenge, one story at a time. 4. What does Hammerer do? A. He competes in sport climbing events. B. He coaches athletes for the Olympics. C. He designs routes for sport climbing. D. He judges climbing competitions. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The materials used for route setting. B. The process of setting climbing routes. C. The criteria for routes of varied levels. D. The location selected for route setting. 6. How did Hammerer’s team achieve their aim? A. By balancing innovation and adaptation. B. By sticking to federations’ training routes. C. By promoting their concept through social media. D. By disciplining themselves to follow strict guidelines. 7. What message does Hammerer convey in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Change is the only constant. C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会攀岩比赛背后的关键人物——马丁·哈默尔（Martin Hammerer），他负责设计攀岩比赛的路线，并详细描述了他的工作内容、设计理念以及攀岩路线设置的发展变化。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Behind the scenes, there is a crucial but often unseen figure — Martin Hammerer, head of the experienced team responsible for the Lead routes, who has been setting routes internationally since 2007.(在幕后，有一个关键但往往不为人知的人物——Martin Hammerer，负责Lead路线的经验丰富的团队负责人，自2007年以来一直在国际上制定路线。)”可知，Hammerer是设计运动攀岩路线的，故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The actual design took place at the climbing wall. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) pre-selected the material, which we then used to set the routes,” Hammerer explained when asked about his work in Paris. “We started with the finals — which was the highlight — and worked backward to the semi-finals. After completing a route, we photographed it, removed and stored the holds for later use.(‘实际的设计是在攀岩墙上进行的。国际运动攀岩联合会（IFSC）预先选择了材料，然后我们用它来设定路线。’当被问及他在巴黎的工作时，Hammerer解释说：‘我们从决赛开始——这是最精彩的部分——然后回到半决赛。在完成一条路线后，我们拍摄了它，并将其移走并储存起来以备以后使用。’)”可知，Hammerer在本段解释了攀岩路线是怎样设计的。由此可知，第二段主要介绍了设置攀岩路线的过程，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Routesetting relies heavily on the team’s creativity. The style has changed over the past 15 years, with today’s routes looser and more dynamic. ‘The materials and structures have also changed greatly,’ Hammerer said. ‘Every season we adapt to the athletes anew.(路线设置在很大程度上依赖于团队的创造力。在过去的15年里，风格发生了变化，今天的路线更加宽松和充满活力。‘材料和结构也发生了很大变化，’Hammerer说：‘每个赛季，我们都会重新适应运动员。’)”可知，路线设置在很大程度上依赖于团队的创造力，并且每个赛季都会重新适应运动员；由此可知，Hammerer的团队通过平衡创新和适应来实现他们的目标，故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As Hammerer once said, ‘Climbers evolve, and so must we.’ He continues to shape the future of climbing — one route, one challenge, one story at a time.(正如Hammerer曾经说过的那样，“登山者在进化，我们也必须进化。”他继续塑造登山的未来——一条路线，一个挑战，一个故事。)”可知，Hammerer在最后一段中传达的信息是“变化是唯一不变的”，即我们要随着攀岩者的进化而进化，要不断创新和适应，故选B。 C If you yawn (打哈欠) more and pretend to be interested often, researchers may have an explanation: a global rise in boredom. Boredom has risen significantly over the past 15 years, a new paper suggests. It also proposes a possible cause: the growing use of social media. “Technology has driven us into an age of constant digital engagement. With endless rewarding stimulation a fingertip away, however, people are becoming increasingly bored,” the authors wrote in Communications Psychology. One cited experiment tracked over 100,000 American adolescents for nearly a decade, finding a modest but significant rise in boredom from 2011, measured on a five-point scale. Another study of over 28,000 Chinese students showed a 14% increase in boredom between 2009 and 2020, based on the Boredom Proneness Scale. How these results are interpreted is open to debate. James Danckert, a professor of cognitive neuroscience, thinks it reasonable that boredom is on the rise and social media may play a part. “The function of boredom, however, is to push you into action,” Danckert argues. He believes the key lies in taking part in unpredictable, meaningful events where you must make active choices. Impromptu conversations with somebody can fill these requirements. Danckert doubts social media ticks the same boxes. “When you start scrolling (滑动) on your phone, a ton of what you’re going to see there is highly predictable,” he said. The more predictable our world becomes, the less meaningful it is and the more boring it becomes. Professor Andreas Elpidorou, an expert in the field of boredom studies, agrees. Digital media may “force us into a continuous engagement with a content that is interesting enough to entertain but not meaningful enough to fulfil,” he said. However, he suspected it was not the only factor, adding, “I worry this is too convenient an explanation. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but I worry it may only be partially true.” 8. Why does the author mention the quote in paragraph 2? A. To support the finding of a new paper. B. To review the benefits of digital engagement. C. To provide solutions to overcoming boredom. D. To highlight the suggestions given by researchers. 9. What do the two studies mentioned in paragraph 3 focus on? A. The increase in boredom levels. B. The historical trend of boredom. C. The effect of boredom on human behavior. D. The link between boredom and technology. 10. What does the underlined word “impromptu” mean in paragraph 4? A. Structured. B. Informal. C. Detailed. D. Unprepared. 11. What is Elpidorou’s attitude towards the results of boredom research? A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明在过去的15年里，人们的无聊程度显著上升，其中一个可能的原因是社交媒体的使用日益增多。而解决此问题的关键在于参与一些即兴活动。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读文章第二段引述的内容“‘Technology has driven us into an age of constant digital engagement. With endless rewarding stimulation a fingertip away, however, people are becoming increasingly bored,’ the authors wrote in Communications Psychology.(作者在《传播心理学》杂志上写道：“技术将我们带入了一个持续数字参与的时代。然而，随着指尖之外无休止的奖励刺激，人们变得越来越无聊。”)”可知，其论述了“我们进入了一个持续数字参与的时代，手指在数字社交媒体上的滑动，人们变得愈加无聊”，与上段末尾句论点“It also proposes a possible cause: the growing use of social media.(它还提出了一个可能的原因：社交媒体的使用越来越多。)”提出的论点是一致的。由此推知，该段提到该引述是对上文论点的支持，可作引用论证。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一个实验内容“One cited experiment tracked over 100,000 American adolescents for nearly a decade, finding a modest but significant rise in boredom from 2011, measured on a five-point scale.(一项被引用的实验对10万多名美国青少年进行了近10年的跟踪调查，结果发现，从2011年开始，他们的无聊程度出现了小幅但显著的上升，以五分制来衡量。)”可知，该实验跟踪调查了美国青少年的无聊程度10年里有所上升；以及“Another study of over 28,000 Chinese students showed a 14% increase in boredom between 2009 and 2020, based on the Boredom Proneness Scale.(另一项针对2.8万多名中国学生的研究显示，根据无聊倾向量表，2009年至2020年间，中国学生的无聊程度增加了14%。)”可知，这项研究显示了中国学生10年间的无聊程度有所增加。由此可知，这两项研究都关注了无聊程度的增加。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据语境判断，画线词所在句的“these requirements(这些要求)”指代前文“He believes the key lies in taking part in unpredictable, meaningful events where you must make active choices.(他认为，关键在于参加不可预测的、有意义的活动，在这些活动中你必须做出积极的选择。)”中的不可预测的，有意义的活动，即，即兴发挥的一些活动。由此推知，“Impromptu conversations with somebody”应是指“与某人即兴对话”这一活动满足前文提出的要求。由此推知，画线词“Impromptu”应是“即兴的，无准备的”含义。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Professor Andreas Elpidorou, an expert in the field of boredom studies, agrees.(无聊研究领域的专家Andreas Elpidorou教授对此表示赞同。)”可知，他对研究结果表示了赞同，同时该段末尾内容“However, he suspected it was not the only factor, adding, ‘I worry this is too convenient an explanation. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but I worry it may only be partially true.’(然而，他怀疑这不是唯一的因素，并补充说：“我担心这个解释太方便了。我并不是说这不是真的，但我担心这可能只是部分正确。”)”又提及在他看来，这些研究的结果，即“对电子产品的过渡使用导致无聊感有所增加”，可能不是唯一的因素，可能只是部分正确。由此可推知，他的态度是客观的。故选B项。 D Wild chimpanzees seem to learn skills from each other and then — much as humans do — improve on those techniques from one generation to the next. In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food. Such “cumulative culture” means some chimpanzee communities are becoming more technologically advanced — although very, very slowly. “If chimpanzees have some cultural knowledge that the community they’ re moving into doesn’t have, they may pass it on — just in the same way we pass on the genes (基因),” says Andrew Whiten at the University of St Andrews. “And then that culture builds up.” Scientists knew chimpanzees used tools and passed on the knowledge, but their lack of significant innovation compared to humans puzzled researchers. Cassandra Gunasekaram at the University of Zurich suspected she might be able to apply genetic analysis to the puzzle. To see if young females bring their skill sets into their new groups, she and her colleagues looked at data previously collected by other research groups at 35 study sites in Africa and included information about what tools, if any, each animal used, as well as their genetic connections over the past 15,000 years. “The genetics give us a kind of time machine into the way culture has been transmitted (传播) across chimpanzees,” says Whiten. Some chimpanzees used complex tools, for example a drilling stick and a fishing brush for hunting. The researchers found the chimpanzees with the most advanced tool sets were three to five times more likely to share the same DNA as those that used simple tools or no tools at all, even though they might live thousands of kilometres away. And advanced tool use was also more strongly associated with female migration compared with simple or no tool use. “Our interpretation is that these complex tool sets are really invented by perhaps building on a simpler form from before, and therefore they have to depend on transmission by females from the communities that invented them initially to the other communities,” says Whiten. “It shows that complex tools would rely on social exchanges across groups— which is very surprising and exciting,” says Gunasekaram. 12. Which best describes “cumulative culture” in paragraph 2? A. The immediate adoption of advanced tools for food. B. The gradual build-up of cultural knowledge over time. C. The independent invention of tools without prior skills. D. The preservation of cultural knowledge for generations. 13. How did Gunasekaram’s team conduct their research? A. By observing chimpanzees at 35 study sites. B. By analyzing existing data on chimpanzees. C. By comparing chimpanzees in terms of their tool use. D. By investigating genetic connections of chimpanzees. 14. What led to chimpanzees’ use of complex tools? A. Human influences. B. Food-hunting strategy. C. Social competition. D. Cross-group interactions. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The learning gaps between chimpanzees and humans. B. The environmental impact on chimpanzees’ behaviors. C. The genetic diversity of chimpanzees in the wilderness. D. The role of female chimpanzees in cultural transmission. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了野生黑猩猩如何学习技能并在一代又一代中改进这些技能，特别是年轻雌性在群体间迁徙时带来的文化知识能够提升技能，从而改进觅食技巧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food. Such “cumulative culture” means some chimpanzee communities are becoming more technologically advanced— although very, very slowly.(尤其是迁徙到不同群体的年轻雌性黑猩猩会带着它们的文化知识，群体可以将新的技术与现有的技术结合起来，更好地寻找食物。这种“累积文化”意味着一些黑猩猩群体正在变得更加技术先进——尽管非常非常慢)”可知，“累积文化”是指随着时间的推移逐渐积累文化知识。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“she and her colleagues looked at data previously collected by other research groups (她和同事分析了先前其他研究小组收集的数据)”可推知，Gunasekaram团队是通过分析现有的关于黑猩猩的数据进行研究的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Our interpretation is that these complex tool sets are really invented by perhaps building on a simpler form from before, and therefore they have to depend on transmission by females from the communities that invented them initially to the other communities (我们的解释是，这些复杂的工具可能是在以前的简单形式的基础上创造出来的，因此它们必须依赖于最初发明它们的社区的女性向其他社区的传播)”可推知，黑猩猩使用复杂工具是因群体间的相互交流所致。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wild chimpanzees seem to learn skills from each other and then— much as humans do— improve on those techniques from one generation to the next. (野生黑猩猩似乎彼此学习技能，然后——就像人类一样——将这些技术从一代代改进下去)”根据文章第二段“In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food.(特别是，迁徙的年轻雌性带来了文化知识，群体可以将新技术与现有技术结合起来，更好地寻找食物)”并结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了雌性黑猩猩在文化传播中的角色。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 In psychology, the word “prove” is used carefully, much like a painter applies each brushstroke (笔触) with great care. Unlike the strong conclusions in physical sciences, psychological research builds a bigger picture through many small studies. ____16____ His discovery was not a sudden breakthrough but the result of hard and detailed work. Similarly, Elizabeth Loftus’s research doubts how accurate witness reports are. Instead of calling it “unreliable,” researchers use terms like “potential unreliability.” ____17____ So, they use words like “demonstrate” and “suggest” to show the uncertainty in their conclusions. ____18____ Instead, I teach my students to think critically about how to use it, much like a gardener who cares for plants. When students first use the word, I encourage them to think about factors that could challenge their conclusions. For example, I might ask them, “How do we know that not all participants had false memories?” Or, for French students, “Why might these findings not apply to French culture?” This approach helps students grasp the complexity of psychological research and develop critical thinking skills. It encourages them to reflect and analyze, helping them communicate their findings with accuracy. ____19____ In psychology, “proving” something is like building a symphony. ____20____ In education, teaching critical thinking and clear language use is essential for understanding the core of psychological research. A. This indicates that findings might change. B. In my classroom, I do not ban the word “prove.” C. Each piece of evidence adds to a larger understanding. D. Psychological theories are often revised as new evidence emerges. E. As a teacher, I often remind my students to use this word appropriately. F. This method also builds appreciation for the depth of psychological inquiry. G. For example, Eric Kandel spent years studying sea animals to learn how memory works. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了心理学研究中“证明”一词的谨慎使用，及其对学生批判性思维培养的重要性。 【16题详解】 由上文“Unlike the strong conclusions in physical sciences, psychological research builds a bigger picture through many small studies. (与物理科学中的强烈结论不同，心理学研究是通过许多小型研究来构建一个更大的图景。)”可知，心理学研究是通过累积多个小研究的成果来形成整体理解的。本空应对心理学研究是如何通过长时间和细致的工作来取得成果的进行举例说明。G选项“For example, Eric Kandel spent years studying sea animals to learn how memory works. (例如，埃里克·坎德尔花了数年时间研究海洋动物，以了解记忆的工作原理。)”提供了一个具体的例子，说明心理学研究是如何通过长时间和细致的工作来取得成果的。这与上文的观点相吻合，即通过多个小研究来构建对某一领域的整体理解。故选G。 【17题详解】 由上文“Similarly, Elizabeth Loftus’s research doubts how accurate witness reports are. Instead of calling it “unreliable,” researchers use terms like “potential unreliability.” (同样，伊丽莎白·洛夫图斯的研究对目击者报告的准确性表示怀疑。研究人员没有称其为“不可靠”，而是使用诸如“可能不可靠”之类的术语。)”可知，心理学研究在表达结论时倾向于使用较为谨慎的措辞，本空应强调这么作的原因。A选项“This indicates that findings might change. (这表明研究结果可能会改变。)”进一步说明了心理学研究结论的不确定性，即研究结果可能会随着新的证据或研究的深入而发生变化。这与上文的观点一致，即心理学研究在表达结论时更注重谨慎和不确定性。故选A。 【18题详解】 由下文“Instead, I teach my students to think critically about how to use it, much like a gardener who cares for plants. (相反，我教我的学生批判性地思考如何使用它，就像园丁照顾植物一样。)”可知，作者在教学上采取了一种不同于传统禁止某些词汇使用的做法，本空应强调作者的教学方法。B选项“In my classroom, I do not ban the word “prove.” (在我的课堂上，我不禁止使用“证明”这个词。)”直接引出了下文的内容，即作者在教学上对于“证明”这个词的开放态度。故选B。 【19题详解】 由上文“This approach helps students grasp the complexity of psychological research and develop critical thinking skills. It encourages them to reflect and analyze, helping them communicate their findings with accuracy. (这种方法帮助学生掌握心理学研究的复杂性，并培养他们的批判性思维能力。它鼓励学生进行反思和分析，帮助他们准确地传达自己的发现。)”可知，作者的教学方法有助于学生掌握心理学研究的复杂性，并培养他们的批判性思维能力，本空应继续强调这种做法的好处。F选项“This method also builds appreciation for the depth of psychological inquiry. (这种方法还增强了对心理学探究深度的欣赏。)”进一步强调了这种教学方法的积极作用，即不仅有助于学生掌握知识和技能，还能增强他们对心理学研究的兴趣和欣赏。这与上文的观点相辅相成，符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 由上文“In psychology, “proving” something is like building a symphony. (在心理学中，“证明”某件事就像创作一部交响乐。)”可知，心理学中的“证明”是一个复杂而细致的过程，需要多个元素和部分的协同作用，本空应强调每个部分对于整体的作用。C选项“Each piece of evidence adds to a larger understanding. (每一份证据都增加了对整体的理解。)”与上文的比喻相呼应，即每一份证据就像交响乐中的一个音符，共同构成了对某一问题的整体理解。这与上文的观点一致，即心理学中的“证明”是一个需要累积多个证据和研究的过程。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was growing up, I held on too tightly to things and ideas, which caused me a lot of stress.

It was right next to her school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of important tasks from the beginning. One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corner.” Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to show everyone what she could do. But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy. Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions. When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school courtyard always work, and we could hand out flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary. Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a special promotion. “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out?” Mary argued. “What if we have a book reading session with some authors? Or...?” Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods would work best. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. She suggested a combined approach: setting up a booth as Alex proposed, but also including a small book reading session at lunch break. “We could have a couple of student authors read excerpts from the new series,” she explained. Reluctantly, Alex agreed, seeing that a compromise might be the best way forward. For the next few days, Mary and Alex worked together, dividing the tasks and planning the promotion. By Friday, they had set up the booth with colorful decorations and arranged the book reading session. After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office. He was beaming with pride. “You both did an excellent job,” he said. “The reading session was a big hit, and many students showed interest in the new series.” Alex smiled and nodded, recognizing Mary’s contribution. “I have to admit, your idea for the book reading was a good one,” he said. Mary felt relieved and happy that their hard work paid off. They realized that by combining their ideas, they could create something truly remarkable. From that day forward, they worked well as a team, respecting each other’s strengths and learning from each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文以任务为线索展开，讲述了Mary获得了心仪的兼职工作，并和同学Alex合作推广青少年作者的新书系列，虽然他们在推广方法上有分歧，但最后通过合作和妥协，取得了一次成功的推广活动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二段描述了活动后Mr. Thompson对他们的表扬，Alex也承认了Mary的创意，两人达成和解并学会尊重彼此的意见。”可知，第一段主要描述了Mary和Alex在推广活动上的分歧，以及Mary提出的妥协方案并获得了Alex的认可。 ②由第二段首句内容“活动结束后，汤普森先生把他们叫到他的办公室。”可知，第二段描述了活动后Mr. Thompson对他们的表扬，Alex也承认了Mary的创意，两人达成和解并学会尊重彼此的意见。 2.续写线索：提出了一个综合方案——玛丽和亚历克斯一起工作，分配任务并计划推广——受到赞扬——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest /recommend ②展示：show/showcase ③微笑：smile /beam ④建立：set up/establish 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted ②非凡的：remarkable/extraordinary 【点睛】[高分句型1] Mary felt relieved and happy that their hard work paid off.

Here are some fairs coming up in 2025. Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20 Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing. Expo Chicago: Chicago, Apr. 25-27 Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks. One of those was Claire Oliver Gallery of New York, which has participated in every edition so far. “We love this fair,” Claire Oliver said. “The visitors are engaged, ask great questions and are truly curious.” Tokyo Gendai: Yokohama, Sept. 12-14 Asian art fairs have been growing rapidly. The biggest regional player, Art Basel Hong Kong, was joined by Singapore’s Art SG in 2023, the same year as the first edition of Tokyo Gendai. The fair had 69 galleries showing contemporary art in July 2024 for its second edition. “The focus is on cutting-edge and contemporary work,” said Tim Blum, who runs the gallery Blum. Paris Photo: Paris, Nov. 13-16 Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors — we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas. 1.

B At the Paris 2024 Olympics, sport climbing featured two medal events for men and women: Speed and a combined Boulder & Lead event. Behind the scenes, there is a crucial but often unseen figure — Martin Hammerer, head of the experienced team responsible for the Lead routes, who has been setting routes internationally since 2007. “The actual design took place at the climbing wall. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) pre-selected the material, which we then used to set the routes,” Hammerer explained when asked about his work in Paris. “We started with the finals — which was the highlight — and worked backward to the semi-finals. After completing a route, we photographed it, removed and stored the holds for later use.” The focus for the routesetters is to offer a challenging but also fair competition. Routes for the combined Boulder & Lead event were carefully designed to ensure that specialists in one discipline didn’t have an unfair advantage. “Our aim is to offer a balanced competition,” Hammerer said. “For the podiums (领奖台), the athletes have to be really strong in both disciplines.” Routesetting relies heavily on the team’s creativity. The style has changed over the past 15 years, with today’s routes looser and more dynamic. “The materials and structures have also changed greatly,” Hammerer said. “Every season we adapt to the athletes anew.” Routesetting used to be quite independent and greatly influenced climbing style. “But now, federations set training routes for athletes. When we see this on social media, we get new input for our work,” Hammerer reflected. As Hammerer once said, “Climbers evolve, and so must we.” He continues to shape the future of climbing — one route, one challenge, one story at a time. 4. What does Hammerer do? A. He competes in sport climbing events. B. He coaches athletes for the Olympics. C. He designs routes for sport climbing. D. He judges climbing competitions. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The materials used for route setting. B. The process of setting climbing routes. C. The criteria for routes of varied levels. D. The location selected for route setting. 6. How did Hammerer’s team achieve their aim? A. By balancing innovation and adaptation. B. By sticking to federations’ training routes. C. By promoting their concept through social media. D. By disciplining themselves to follow strict guidelines. 7. What message does Hammerer convey in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Change is the only constant. C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words. C If you yawn (打哈欠) more and pretend to be interested often, researchers may have an explanation: a global rise in boredom. Boredom has risen significantly over the past 15 years, a new paper suggests. It also proposes a possible cause: the growing use of social media. “Technology has driven us into an age of constant digital engagement. With endless rewarding stimulation a fingertip away, however, people are becoming increasingly bored,” the authors wrote in Communications Psychology. One cited experiment tracked over 100,000 American adolescents for nearly a decade, finding a modest but significant rise in boredom from 2011, measured on a five-point scale. Another study of over 28,000 Chinese students showed a 14% increase in boredom between 2009 and 2020, based on the Boredom Proneness Scale. How these results are interpreted is open to debate. James Danckert, a professor of cognitive neuroscience, thinks it reasonable that boredom is on the rise and social media may play a part. “The function of boredom, however, is to push you into action,” Danckert argues. He believes the key lies in taking part in unpredictable, meaningful events where you must make active choices. Impromptu conversations with somebody can fill these requirements. Danckert doubts social media ticks the same boxes. “When you start scrolling (滑动) on your phone, a ton of what you’re going to see there is highly predictable,” he said. The more predictable our world becomes, the less meaningful it is and the more boring it becomes. Professor Andreas Elpidorou, an expert in the field of boredom studies, agrees. Digital media may “force us into a continuous engagement with a content that is interesting enough to entertain but not meaningful enough to fulfil,” he said. However, he suspected it was not the only factor, adding, “I worry this is too convenient an explanation. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but I worry it may only be partially true.” 8. Why does the author mention the quote in paragraph 2? A. To support the finding of a new paper. B. To review the benefits of digital engagement. C. To provide solutions to overcoming boredom. D. To highlight the suggestions given by researchers. 9. What do the two studies mentioned in paragraph 3 focus on? A. The increase in boredom levels. B. The historical trend of boredom. C. The effect of boredom on human behavior. D. The link between boredom and technology. 10. What does the underlined word “impromptu” mean in paragraph 4? A. Structured. B. Informal. C. Detailed. D. Unprepared. 11. What is Elpidorou’s attitude towards the results of boredom research? A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive. D Wild chimpanzees seem to learn skills from each other and then — much as humans do — improve on those techniques from one generation to the next. In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food. Such “cumulative culture” means some chimpanzee communities are becoming more technologically advanced — although very, very slowly. “If chimpanzees have some cultural knowledge that the community they’ re moving into doesn’t have, they may pass it on — just in the same way we pass on the genes (基因),” says Andrew Whiten at the University of St Andrews. “And then that culture builds up.” Scientists knew chimpanzees used tools and passed on the knowledge, but their lack of significant innovation compared to humans puzzled researchers. Cassandra Gunasekaram at the University of Zurich suspected she might be able to apply genetic analysis to the puzzle. To see if young females bring their skill sets into their new groups, she and her colleagues looked at data previously collected by other research groups at 35 study sites in Africa and included information about what tools, if any, each animal used, as well as their genetic connections over the past 15,000 years. “The genetics give us a kind of time machine into the way culture has been transmitted (传播) across chimpanzees,” says Whiten. Some chimpanzees used complex tools, for example a drilling stick and a fishing brush for hunting. The researchers found the chimpanzees with the most advanced tool sets were three to five times more likely to share the same DNA as those that used simple tools or no tools at all, even though they might live thousands of kilometres away. And advanced tool use was also more strongly associated with female migration compared with simple or no tool use. “Our interpretation is that these complex tool sets are really invented by perhaps building on a simpler form from before, and therefore they have to depend on transmission by females from the communities that invented them initially to the other communities,” says Whiten. “It shows that complex tools would rely on social exchanges across groups— which is very surprising and exciting,” says Gunasekaram. 12. Which best describes “cumulative culture” in paragraph 2? A. The immediate adoption of advanced tools for food. B. The gradual build-up of cultural knowledge over time. C. The independent invention of tools without prior skills. D. The preservation of cultural knowledge for generations. 13. How did Gunasekaram’s team conduct their research? A. By observing chimpanzees at 35 study sites. B. By analyzing existing data on chimpanzees. C. By comparing chimpanzees in terms of their tool use. D. By investigating genetic connections of chimpanzees. 14. What led to chimpanzees’ use of complex tools? A. Human influences. B. Food-hunting strategy. C. Social competition. D. Cross-group interactions. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The learning gaps between chimpanzees and humans. B. The environmental impact on chimpanzees’ behaviors. C. The genetic diversity of chimpanzees in the wilderness. D. The role of female chimpanzees in cultural transmission. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 In psychology, the word “prove” is used carefully, much like a painter applies each brushstroke (笔触) with great care. Unlike the strong conclusions in physical sciences, psychological research builds a bigger picture through many small studies. ____16____ His discovery was not a sudden breakthrough but the result of hard and detailed work. Similarly, Elizabeth Loftus’s research doubts how accurate witness reports are. Instead of calling it “unreliable,” researchers use terms like “potential unreliability.” ____17____ So, they use words like “demonstrate” and “suggest” to show the uncertainty in their conclusions. ____18____ Instead, I teach my students to think critically about how to use it, much like a gardener who cares for plants. When students first use the word, I encourage them to think about factors that could challenge their conclusions. For example, I might ask them, “How do we know that not all participants had false memories?” Or, for French students, “Why might these findings not apply to French culture?” This approach helps students grasp the complexity of psychological research and develop critical thinking skills. It encourages them to reflect and analyze, helping them communicate their findings with accuracy. ____19____ In psychology, “proving” something is like building a symphony. ____20____ In education, teaching critical thinking and clear language use is essential for understanding the core of psychological research. A. This indicates that findings might change. B. In my classroom, I do not ban the word “prove.” C. Each piece of evidence adds to a larger understanding. D. Psychological theories are often revised as new evidence emerges. E. As a teacher, I often remind my students to use this word appropriately. F. This method also builds appreciation for the depth of psychological inquiry. G. For example, Eric Kandel spent years studying sea animals to learn how memory works. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was growing up, I held on too tightly to things and ideas, which caused me a lot of stress.

It was right next to her school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of important tasks from the beginning. One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corner.” Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to show everyone what she could do. But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy. Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions. When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school courtyard always work, and we could hand out flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary. Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a special promotion. “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out?” Mary argued. “What if we have a book reading session with some authors? Or...?” Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods would work best. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
