Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, born in 1977 in Enugu, Nigeria, is a famous writer and thinker known for her powerful storytelling and clear ideas on social issues. She grew up in Nsukka, a university town, where her parents worked as professors. Encouraged by her family’s love for books and learning, Adichie started writing stories as a child. She read novels by both African and Western writers, but she often noticed that Western books gave an incorrect picture of African life. This early understanding encouraged her to write stories that showed a more real image of her culture.
Adichie moved to the United States for college, where she studied communication, political science, and creative writing. Her experience in the U. S. influenced her works deeply, as she observed cultural misunderstandings and stereotypes (刻板印象) about Africa. She used these observations to shape her unique writing style, mixing her Nigerian roots with her international outlook.
Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus (2003), follows a Nigerian family dealing with personal and societal struggles. It received international praise and established Adichie as a rising star. Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), explores the Biafran War and its influence on ordinary people, while her third, Americanah (2013), examines themes of self-discovery, race, and migration (移民) through the story of a Nigerian woman living in the U. S. These works not only earned her countless awards but also challenged stereotypes about African life, offering a rich and detailed view of her homeland.
Adichie is also a supporter of gender (性别) equality. Her TED Talk, We Should All Be Feminists, became a big success and was even adapted into a book. Today, she continues to write and speak on topics like culture and self-discovery, using her voice to connect people and promote understanding across different communities.
24. Why did Adichie take up writing?
A. She was influenced by her parents. B. She was interested in Western novels.
C. She was educated in the United States. D. She was determined to introduce her culture.
25. How did Adichie’s time in the U. S. affect her?
A. She became more focused on politics. B. She began to question her Nigerian roots.
C. She developed her personal way of writing. D. She started writing about American history.
26 Adichie’s three novels mentioned in paragraph 3 show ________.
A. the value of self-discovery B. the real image of African life
C. some social issues in Enugu D. women’s role in a Nigerian family
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Adichie’s cultural understanding.
B. Adichie’s opinion on gender equality.
C. Adichie’s writing journey and social influence.
D. Adichie’s contribution to Nigerian literature and history.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇介绍了Adichie的出生背景以及她从小受家庭影响开始写作,因看到西方书籍对非洲生活描绘的错误而决心展现真实的非洲文化,这是她写作的起因。接着讲述她在美国的学习经历对其写作风格的影响,她形成了独特的写作风格,将尼日利亚根源与国际视野相融合。然后列举了她的三部重要小说,阐述这些作品挑战了对非洲生活的刻板印象,展现了非洲生活的真实面貌,还为她赢得了无数奖项。最后提到她是性别平等的倡导者,其TED演讲大获成功,并且她继续写作和演讲,促进不同群体之间的理解。选项C“Adichie’s writing journey and social influence(Adichie的写作历程和社会影响力)”全面地概括了文章内容,包括她的写作起因、风格形成、作品成就以及在社会倡导方面的影响力。故选C。

The word “manifest” has been chosen as Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2024.
Manifest isn’t a new word; it’s been used since at least the 1400s to mean “clear” or “obvious. ” But as time went on, it had different meanings. Its modern meaning — “to imagine achieving something you want, with the belief that imagining it will make it happen” — was first used in the early 1900s. This is the version (版本) of the word that’s become popular today.
Cambridge Dictionary’s Wendalyn Nicols explained that the Word of the Year is chosen based on three things: how popular the word is during the year, how it relates to important events, and how interesting it is as a word. And “manifest” was certainly popular — the word was looked up over 130, 000 times on the Cambridge Dictionary website in 2024.
The word “manifest” gained traction thanks to celebrities (名人) like singer Dua Lipa, US gymnast Simone Biles, and England soccer player Ollie Watkins, who all said “manifesting” helped them achieve their goals.
“Manifesting is a big thing for me, ” Dua Lipa told Time in April. The 2024 year was a big year for the singer, as she headlined the legendary Glastonbury music festival in England in June. As she stood on the stage, she shared how she had “manifested” the moment. “I’ve written this moment down and wished for it and dreamed it and worked so hard,” she said to the crowd.
But not everyone is a fan of manifesting. Dr. Sander van der Linden, a psychologist from Cambridge University, believes manifesting is just “magical thinking” with no scientific proof that it actually works. “However, it is necessary to understand the difference between the power of positive thinking and moving reality with your mind — the former is healthy, while the latter is an unfounded belief,” he said.
28. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. More people tend to dream big. B. Language can change over time.
C. Homan imagination knows no limits. D. The meaning of a word matters most.
29. What does the underlined part “gained traction” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Got popular. B. Became clear. C. Remained important. D. Looked new.
30. What does Dua Lipa’s experience suggest?
A. She is proud of her confidence. B. She enjoys every moment on stage.
C. She credited her success to manifesting. D. She believed 2024 was a lucky year for singers.
31. What is Dr. Sander van der Linden’s attitude towards manifesting?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Unconcerned. D. Surprised.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了“manifest”一词被选为2024年《剑桥词典》年度词汇的原因,包括其历史含义、现代含义、流行程度以及与名人和重要事件的关联,同时还提及了不同人对“manifesting”现象的看法。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Manifest isn’t a new word; it’s been used since at least the 1400s to mean “clear” or “obvious. ” But as time went on, it had different meanings. Its modern meaning — “to imagine achieving something you want, with the belief that imagining it will make it happen” — was first used in the early 1900s. This is the version (版本) of the word that’s become popular today.(Manifest并不是一个新词;至少从15世纪开始,它就被用来表示“清楚的”或“明显的”。但随着时间的推移,它有了不同的含义。它的现代含义是“想象实现你想要的东西,并相信想象会使它实现”,在20世纪初首次使用。这是这个词今天很流行的版本)”可知,从本段可推断语言会随着时间而改变。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“thanks to celebrities (名人) like singer Dua Lipa, US gymnast Simone Biles, and England soccer player Ollie Watkins, who all said “manifesting” helped them achieve their goals.(由于歌手杜瓦·利帕、美国体操运动员西蒙娜·拜尔斯和英格兰足球运动员奥利·沃特金斯等名人,他们都说“manifest”一词帮助他们实现了目标)”可知,由于名人的推广,所以manifest这个词得到了广泛的关注,推知gained traction为“广为人知”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Manifesting is a big thing for me, ” Dua Lipa told Time in April. The 2024 year was a big year for the singer, as she headlined the legendary Glastonbury music festival in England in June. As she stood on the stage, she shared how she had “manifested” the moment. “I’ve written this moment down and wished for it and dreamed it and worked so hard,” she said to the crowd.(“manifesting对我来说是件大事,”Dua Lipa在四月接受《时代》杂志采访时表示。2024年对这位歌手来说意义重大,因为她在6月担任了英国传奇格拉斯顿伯里音乐节的头牌艺人。站在舞台上,她分享了自己是如何“manifested”这一时刻的。“我把这个时刻写下来,许下愿望,梦想着它,并为此付出了巨大努力,”她对观众说道)”可知,Dua Lipa把自己的成功归功于manifesting。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But not everyone is a fan of manifesting. Dr. Sander van der Linden, a psychologist from Cambridge University, believes manifesting is just “magical thinking” with no scientific proof that it actually works. “However, it is necessary to understand the difference between the power of positive thinking and moving reality with your mind — the former is healthy, while the latter is an unfounded belief,” he said.(但并不是每个人都喜欢manifesting。剑桥大学的心理学家Sander van der Linden博士认为,manifesting只是“神奇的想法”,没有科学证据证明它确实有效。他说:“然而,有必要了解积极思考的力量和用头脑改变现实之间的区别——前者是健康的,而后者是毫无根据的信念。”)”可知,Sander van der Linden博士认为,manifesting只是“神奇的想法”,没有科学证据证明它确实有效,所以是怀疑的。故选A项。
D
Puppies (小狗) are able to request help at just 6 weeks old. They repeatedly alternate (交替) their eye contact between a nearby human and the situation they are struggling with, says Stefanie Riemer at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna in Austria.
Dogs raised in shelters generally only start intentionally communicating with humans through their eye contact as young adults. But puppies brought up in someone’s home might speed up their communication with people, says Riemer.
To learn more, Riemer and her colleagues studied 83 puppies, aged 41 to 52 days, of eight different types that were raised by 11 breeders (饲养员) in their homes. While the breeders were present, Riemer — with whom the puppies were familiar took each dog into an unknown room of its home. She then presented each puppy with an unsolvable task or a colourful, battery-operated toy similar to a paper bag, which she doubted the puppies would be careful about. For the task, the puppies first learned that food was under an overturned plastic cup, but it was later glued and couldn’t be knocked over.
The researchers recorded if the puppies alternated contact between either the toy or the glued cup and a person’s face within 2 seconds. They discovered that 69 percent of them alternated their eye contact with the toy and 46 percent did so with the glued cup.
The findings suggest that puppies often try to communicate with people when they have gained from repeated and early positive interactions with humans, says Kristy Gould at Luther College in Iowa. “They could be looking at the human to gain information about why they can’t solve the task or whether the new object is safe to interact with, or they could be looking at the human for agreement to interact further with the object since the human may or may not encourage this behaviour,” says Gould.
32. How does the writer develop paragraph 2?
A. By giving a reason. B. By describing a process.
C. By presenting a comparison. D. By providing a strategy.
33. What does Riemer’s study focus on?
A. Why puppies are of different types. B. Whether puppies need home-raising.
C. When puppies begin to interact with people. D. How puppies request help through eye contact.
34. What task did the researchers set for the puppies?
A. Playing with an electric toy. B. Dealing with a difficult situation.
C. Learning to get along with breeders. D. Finding food in an unfamiliar environment.
35. According to Kristy Gould, why do puppies look at humans?
A. To know how to complete tasks quickly. B. To get people to join in playful activities.
C. To find emotional support from humans. D. To gain agreement to keep communicating.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥地利维也纳兽医大学的一项研究,该研究探讨了小狗在年幼时就具备向人类求助的能力,特别是通过眼神交流来寻求帮助。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Dogs raised in shelters generally only start intentionally communicating with humans through their eye contact as young adults. But puppies brought up in someone's home might speed up their communication with people, says Riemer.(Riemer说,在收容所里长大的狗一般要到成年初期才会开始有意识地通过眼神交流与人类沟通。但在人们家中饲养长大的小狗可能会加快与人类的交流速度。)”可知,在此段中,作者将在收容所里长大的狗和在人们家中饲养长大的小狗进行了对比。指出在收容所长大的狗通常到成年初期才开始有意识地通过眼神交流与人类沟通,而在家中饲养的小狗可能会加快与人类的交流速度。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Puppies(小狗)are able to request help at just 6 weeks old. They repeatedly alternating(交替)their eye contact between a nearby human and the situation they are struggling with, says Stefanie Riemer at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna in Austria.(奥地利维也纳兽医大学的Stefanie Riemer表示,小狗在仅仅6周大的时候就能够请求帮助。它们会反复地在附近的人类和自己正在努力应对的状况之间交替进行眼神交流。)”以及第四段“The researchers recorded if the puppies alternated contact between either the toy or the glued cup and a person's face within 2 seconds. They discovered that 69 percent of them alternated their eye contact with the toy and 46 percent did so with the glued cup.(研究人员记录下小狗是否会在2秒内,在玩具或粘住的杯子与人的脸之间交替进行眼神交流。他们发现,69% 的小狗会在玩具和人之间交替进行眼神交流,46%的小狗会在粘住的杯子和人之间交替进行眼神交流。)”可知,Riemer 的研究是为了了解小狗与人类交流的情况,特别是它们是否能通过眼神交流来请求帮助。从她把小狗带到陌生房间,设置无法解决的任务以及放置玩具等操作,都是为了观察小狗是否会在困难情况和人之间进行眼神交流以寻求帮助,所以研究重点是小狗如何通过眼神交流请求帮助。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She then presented each puppy with an unsolvable task or a colourful, battery-operated toy similar to a paper bag, which she doubted the puppies would be careful about. For the task, the puppies first learned that food was under an overturned plastic cup, but it was later glued and couldn't be knocked over.(然后,她给每只小狗设置了一个无法解决的任务,或者拿出一个色彩鲜艳、电池驱动的玩具(类似一个纸袋),她觉得小狗们可能会对这个玩具有所警惕。在这个任务中,小狗们首先知道食物在一个倒扣的塑料杯下面,但后来杯子被粘住了,无法被弄翻。)”可知,研究人员给小狗设置了一个无法解决的任务,即小狗一开始知道食物在倒扣的塑料杯下,但后来杯子被粘住了,无法弄翻,这对小狗来说是一个难以处理的情况。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““They could be looking at the human to gain information about why they can't solve the task or whether the new object is safe to interact with, or they could be looking at the human for agreement to interact further with the object since the human may or may not encourage this behaviour, ” says Gould.( Gould说:“它们可能会看着人类,以获取信息,了解为什么自己无法完成任务,或者这个新物体是否可以安全地与之互动。又或者,它们可能会看着人类,以寻求进一步与该物体互动的许可,因为人类可能会鼓励这种行为,也可能不会。”)”可知,小狗看人类可能是为了获得与物品进一步互动的许可,这也可以理解为获得继续交流的许可。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。
Why does one plus one equal two? One possible answer is “It just does! ” That’s just like saying “Because I said so! ” ___36___
It is quite right to feel frustrated (沮丧的) by that idea. ___37___ However, my love of math is somewhat driven by my love of breaking roles, or at least pushing against them. Both of those reasons play an important role in advancing human understanding, and especially mathematical understanding.
___38___ Sometimes, one plans one is just one, like if you put a pile (堆) of sand on top of another pile of mind, then you just get one the of sand. Or, as an art student of mine pointed out, if you mix one color with one color, you get one color. ___39___ If you have enough money on you to buy one cup of coffee, and your friend has enough to buy one, thon together you still might have enough to buy three.
Now, you might think that these aren’t really situations in which one plus one equals something else, because they aren’t really addition, or because those aren’t really numbers. You’re welcome to think that, but that’s not what math does. Math instead says: ___40___ And in doing so, we’ll understand something about the world more deeply than we did before.
A. Math isn’t really about getting the right answer.
B. Sometimes, one plus one can equal more than two.
C. And in some situations, one plus one is actually zero.
D. This answer has been frustrating children for generations.
E. Let’s work out when one plus one equals two and when it doesn’t.
F. Math can feel like a boring world of strict rules you just have to follow.
G. Instead of asking why one plus one is two, let’s question if it’s always true.
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. G 39. B 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章通过探讨“一加一为什么等于二”的问题,引出了对数学规则和理解方式的深入思考,质疑了传统观念,并提出了数学不仅仅是遵循严格规则,而是通过探索和理解规则适用的条件来更深入地认识世界。
【36题详解】
设空位于首段段尾,应承接上文,并引出本文主题,根据前文“Why does one plus one equal two? One possible answer is “It just does! ” That’s just like saying “Because I said so! ” (为什么一加一等于二?一个可能的答案是“它就是这样!”这就像是在说“因为我这么说!”)”可知,D项“This answer has been frustrating children for generations.(这个答案让一代又一代的孩子们感到沮丧)”承接上文,讲述前文的答案让孩子感到沮丧,并引出下文内容“It is quite right to feel frustrated by that idea.(对那个想法感到沮丧是完全正确的)”。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“It is quite right to feel frustrated by that idea. (对那个想法感到沮丧是完全正确的)”以及后文“However, my love of math is somewhat driven by my love of breaking roles, or at least pushing against them. Both of those reasons play an important role in advancing human understanding, and especially mathematical understanding.(然而,我对数学的热爱在某种程度上是由于我喜欢打破角色,或者至少是反对角色。这两个原因在促进人类理解,尤其是数学理解方面发挥着重要作用)”可知,F项“Math can feel like a boring world of strict rules you just have to follow. (数学就像一个无聊的世界,你必须遵守严格的规则)”是对前文的解释,并和后文构成转折关系,符合文意。故选F项。
【38题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“Sometimes, one plans one is just one, like if you put a pile of sand on top of another pile of mind, then you just get one the of sand. Or, as an art student of mine pointed out, if you mix one color with one color, you get one color. (有时候,一个计划只是一个,就像你把一堆沙子放在另一堆思想上,那么你只会得到一堆沙子。或者,正如我的一个艺术学生指出的,如果你把一种颜色和另一种颜色混合,你会得到一种颜色)”可知,本段讲述1+1不一定对,所以G项“Instead of asking why one plus one is two, let’s question if it’s always true. (与其问为什么1加1等于2,不如问它是否总是对的)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选G项。
【39题详解】
本段主要讲述1+1不一定对,根据后文“If you have enough money on you to buy one cup of coffee, and your friend has enough to buy one, thon together you still might have enough to buy three. (如果你有足够的钱买一杯咖啡,你的朋友也有足够的钱买一杯咖啡,那么你们加起来可能还足够买三杯咖啡)”所以,B项“Sometimes, one plus one can equal more than two. (有时候,一加一可以大于二)”符合本段主题,引出后文。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Now, you might think that these aren’t really situations in which one plus one equals something else, because they aren’t really addition, or because those aren’t really numbers. You’re welcome to think that, but that’s not what math does. Math instead says: (现在,你可能会认为这些不是1加1等于其他数的情况,因为它们不是加法,或者因为它们不是真正的数字。你可以这么想,但这不是数学的作用。而数学说的是)”可知,空处应填数学对1加1的理解,根据前文内容,E项“Let’s work out when one plus one equals two and when it doesn’t. (让我们算算什么时候一加一等于二,什么时候不等于二)”符合数学的理解。故选E项。

【导语】本文是新闻报道。报道了大英博物馆于周二开幕的丝绸之路展览,介绍了展览的内容、目的、合作机构以及展览的持续时间等信息。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:展览涵盖了大约公元500年到1000年的时间,探索了丝绸之路沿途的人、物和思想是如何逐渐塑造各大洲的文化和历史的。本句已有谓语动词explorers,所以cover用非谓语动词,和逻辑主语the exhibition之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作状语,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Covering。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:展览涵盖了大约公元500年到1000年的时间,探索了丝绸之路沿途的人、物和思想是如何逐渐塑造各大洲的文化和历史的。空处修饰空后的动词,用副词修饰。故填gradually。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:大英博物馆馆长尼古拉斯·库里南在接受新华社采访时表示,这次展览通过与世界各地的组织合作,展示了不同文化之间的联系。空前是介词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,organize的名词形式organization,为可数名词,根据后文worldwide可知,用复数形式。故填organizations。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他说:“尽管我们有不同的文化和观点,但有很深的联系可以把它们联系在一起。”空处引导定语从句,先行词是links,在从句中主语,用that或者which引导。故填that或者which。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意;展览的联合组织者陆玉平强调了过去和现在之间的联系,将其描述为连接亚洲、非洲和欧洲的网络。此处是固定搭配:describe as意为“把……说成”。故填as。

第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共5句;每句3分,满分15分)
按给出的中文意思,用括号内所给的英语,翻译下列句子。
66. 书面汉语已成为连接中国古今的重要媒介。(means, by which...)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________
【答案】Written Chinese has become an important means by which China’s present is connected with its past.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和定语从句。“书面汉语”可翻译为“written Chinese”,在句中作主语,谓语动词用become“变成”,句子用现在完成时态,表示该动作对现在的影响或结果。重要的媒介翻译为“an important means”;means后面接定语从句,定语从句需要用介词by+which引导,which指代先行词means作介词by的宾语。中国的现在翻译为“China’s present”,连接可以用短语“be connected with”,从句为一般现在时态,be动词用is;过去翻译为“its past”。故翻译为Written Chinese has become an important means by which China’s present is connected with its past.
67. 在发展和保护文化遗址之间找到平衡点,是个不小的挑战。(balance)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________
【答案】Finding the balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge. / It is a big challenge to find the balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和非谓语动词。“在……之间”用短语between...and...;“发展”翻译为progress;“保护文化遗址”翻译为the protection of cultural sites;“找到平衡点”翻译为find the balance;“不小的挑战”翻译为a big challenge;句中缺少主语,所以可用动名词作主语或用It作形式主语,真正的主语为不定式结构。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。故翻译为Finding the balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge. / It is a big challenge to find the balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites.
68. 正因如此,西班牙语才成为秘鲁的主要官方语言。(it is... that..., official)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________
【答案】It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型、时态、固定短语、形容词。表示“由于这个原因,为此理由”用固定短语for this reason,作原因状语。表示“西班牙语”用Spanish,作主语。表示“是”用be,句子描述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语Spanish为第三人称单数,be动词用is。表示“秘鲁的主要官方语言”用the main official language of Peru,作表语,其中形容词official“官方的”作定语,修饰名词language“语言”。本句要求用强调句型it is... that...,可以强调原因状语for this reason,句首单词首字母大写。故翻译为:It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
69. 在政府的大力支持和全市人民的不懈努力下,新唐山在废墟上拔地而起。(effort, ruin)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________
【答案】With strong support from the government and the tireless efforts of the city’s people, a new Tangshan was built upon the ruins.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和语态。陈述过去事情,用一般过去时;“在……下”用with的复合结构;“在政府的大力支持和全市人民的不懈努力下”翻译为With strong support from the government and the tireless efforts of the city’s people;“新唐山”翻译为 a new Tangshan,在句中作主语;“拔地而起”用动词build,与主语 a new Tangshan之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态;“在废墟上”用短语upon the ruins。故翻译为With strong support from the government and the tireless efforts of the city’s people, a new Tangshan was built upon the ruins.
70. 只有学会与大自然和睦共处,我们才不会对野生生物和地球构成威胁。(Only when. . . , harmony)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________
【答案】Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、时间状语从句和部分倒装。“学会与大自然和睦共处”用when引导时间状语从句表达,讲述一般性事实,时态用一般现在时,learn to do sth. (学会做某事),exist (生存),in harmony with (与……和谐),nature (自然),根据题干要求“Only+时间状语从句”放句首,主句主谓部分倒装,该句把情态动词can提到主句主语we前,stop doing sth. (停止做某事),a threat to (对……的威胁),wildlife (野生生物),our planet (我们的地球),故翻译为:Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, born in 1977 in Enugu, Nigeria, is a famous writer and thinker known for her powerful storytelling and clear ideas on social issues. She grew up in Nsukka, a university town, where her parents worked as professors. Encouraged by her family’s love for books and learning, Adichie started writing stories as a child. She read novels by both African and Western writers, but she often noticed that Western books gave an incorrect picture of African life. This early understanding encouraged her to write stories that showed a more real image of her culture.
Adichie moved to the United States for college, where she studied communication, political science, and creative writing. Her experience in the U. S. influenced her works deeply, as she observed cultural misunderstandings and stereotypes (刻板印象) about Africa. She used these observations to shape her unique writing style, mixing her Nigerian roots with her international outlook.
Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus (2003), follows a Nigerian family dealing with personal and societal struggles. It received international praise and established Adichie as a rising star. Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), explores the Biafran War and its influence on ordinary people, while her third, Americanah (2013), examines themes of self-discovery, race, and migration (移民) through the story of a Nigerian woman living in the U. S. These works not only earned her countless awards but also challenged stereotypes about African life, offering a rich and detailed view of her homeland.
Adichie is also a supporter of gender (性别) equality. Her TED Talk, We Should All Be Feminists, became a big success and was even adapted into a book. Today, she continues to write and speak on topics like culture and self-discovery, using her voice to connect people and promote understanding across different communities.
24. Why did Adichie take up writing?
A She was influenced by her parents. B. She was interested in Western novels.
C. She was educated in the United States. D. She was determined to introduce her culture.
25. How did Adichie’s time in the U. S. affect her?
A. She became more focused on politics. B. She began to question her Nigerian roots.
C. She developed her personal way of writing. D. She started writing about American history.
26. Adichie’s three novels mentioned in paragraph 3 show ________.
A. the value of self-discovery B. the real image of African life
C. some social issues in Enugu D. women’s role in a Nigerian family
27. What is the text mainly about?
A Adichie’s cultural understanding.
B. Adichie’s opinion on gender equality.
C. Adichie’s writing journey and social influence.
D. Adichie’s contribution to Nigerian literature and history.

The word “manifest” has been chosen as Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2024.
Manifest isn’t a new word; it’s been used since at least the 1400s to mean “clear” or “obvious. ” But as time went on, it had different meanings. Its modern meaning — “to imagine achieving something you want, with the belief that imagining it will make it happen” — was first used in the early 1900s. This is the version (版本) of the word that’s become popular today.
Cambridge Dictionary’s Wendalyn Nicols explained that the Word of the Year is chosen based on three things: how popular the word is during the year, how it relates to important events, and how interesting it is as a word. And “manifest” was certainly popular — the word was looked up over 130, 000 times on the Cambridge Dictionary website in 2024.
The word “manifest” gained traction thanks to celebrities (名人) like singer Dua Lipa, US gymnast Simone Biles, and England soccer player Ollie Watkins, who all said “manifesting” helped them achieve their goals.
“Manifesting is a big thing for me, ” Dua Lipa told Time in April. The 2024 year was a big year for the singer, as she headlined the legendary Glastonbury music festival in England in June. As she stood on the stage, she shared how she had “manifested” the moment. “I’ve written this moment down and wished for it and dreamed it and worked so hard,” she said to the crowd.
But not everyone is a fan of manifesting. Dr. Sander van der Linden, a psychologist from Cambridge University, believes manifesting is just “magical thinking” with no scientific proof that it actually works. “However, it is necessary to understand the difference between the power of positive thinking and moving reality with your mind — the former is healthy, while the latter is an unfounded belief,” he said.
28. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. More people tend to dream big. B. Language can change over time.
C. Homan imagination knows no limits. D. The meaning of a word matters most.
29. What does the underlined part “gained traction” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Got popular. B. Became clear. C. Remained important. D. Looked new.
30. What does Dua Lipa’s experience suggest?
A. She is proud of her confidence. B. She enjoys every moment on stage.
C. She credited her success to manifesting. D. She believed 2024 was a lucky year for singers.
31. What is Dr. Sander van der Linden’s attitude towards manifesting?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Unconcerned. D. Surprised.
D
Puppies (小狗) are able to request help at just 6 weeks old. They repeatedly alternate (交替) their eye contact between a nearby human and the situation they are struggling with, says Stefanie Riemer at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna in Austria.
Dogs raised in shelters generally only start intentionally communicating with humans through their eye contact as young adults. But puppies brought up in someone’s home might speed up their communication with people, says Riemer.
To learn more, Riemer and her colleagues studied 83 puppies, aged 41 to 52 days, of eight different types that were raised by 11 breeders (饲养员) in their homes. While the breeders were present, Riemer — with whom the puppies were familiar took each dog into an unknown room of its home. She then presented each puppy with an unsolvable task or a colourful, battery-operated toy similar to a paper bag, which she doubted the puppies would be careful about. For the task, the puppies first learned that food was under an overturned plastic cup, but it was later glued and couldn’t be knocked over.
The researchers recorded if the puppies alternated contact between either the toy or the glued cup and a person’s face within 2 seconds. They discovered that 69 percent of them alternated their eye contact with the toy and 46 percent did so with the glued cup.
The findings suggest that puppies often try to communicate with people when they have gained from repeated and early positive interactions with humans, says Kristy Gould at Luther College in Iowa. “They could be looking at the human to gain information about why they can’t solve the task or whether the new object is safe to interact with, or they could be looking at the human for agreement to interact further with the object since the human may or may not encourage this behaviour,” says Gould.
32. How does the writer develop paragraph 2?
A. By giving a reason. B. By describing a process.
C. By presenting a comparison. D. By providing a strategy.
33. What does Riemer’s study focus on?
A. Why puppies are of different types. B. Whether puppies need home-raising.
C. When puppies begin to interact with people. D. How puppies request help through eye contact.
34. What task did the researchers set for the puppies?
A. Playing with an electric toy. B. Dealing with a difficult situation.
C. Learning to get along with breeders. D. Finding food in an unfamiliar environment.
35. According to Kristy Gould, why do puppies look at humans?
A. To know how to complete tasks quickly. B. To get people to join in playful activities.
C. To find emotional support from humans. D. To gain agreement to keep communicating.

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。
Why does one plus one equal two? One possible answer is “It just does! ” That’s just like saying “Because I said so! ” ___36___
It is quite right to feel frustrated (沮丧) by that idea. ___37___ However, my love of math is somewhat driven by my love of breaking roles, or at least pushing against them. Both of those reasons play an important role in advancing human understanding, and especially mathematical understanding.
___38___ Sometimes, one plans one is just one, like if you put a pile (堆) of sand on top of another pile of mind, then you just get one the of sand. Or, as an art student of mine pointed out, if you mix one color with one color, you get one color. ___39___ If you have enough money on you to buy one cup of coffee, and your friend has enough to buy one, thon together you still might have enough to buy three.
Now, you might think that these aren’t really situations in which one plus one equals something else, because they aren’t really addition, or because those aren’t really numbers. You’re welcome to think that, but that’s not what math does. Math instead says: ___40___ And in doing so, we’ll understand something about the world more deeply than we did before.
A. Math isn’t really about getting the right answer.
B. Sometimes, one plus one can equal more than two.
C. And in some situations, one plus one is actually zero.
D. This answer has been frustrating children for generations.
E. Let’s work out when one plus one equals two and when it doesn’t.
F. Math can feel like a boring world of strict rules you just have to follow.
G. Instead of asking why one plus one is two, let’s question if it’s always true.

How I wish. . .” the boy hesitated (犹豫的).
The man knew what the little boy was going to ___44___ for. Of course, he would want a brother like his. “One day, I wish, ” the boy ___45___ , “that I could be a brother just like yours. ” The young man was shocked and said, “Would you like to take a ride in my car? ” With eyes ___46___ and a smile spread across his face, he said, “Mister! Would you mind driving to my home? ” The man ___47___ . He thought the boy wanted to show kids in the neighbourhood that he could ride home in a ___48___ car.
But the man was wrong again. The boy ___49___ the steps. And after a while, he returned _____50_____ his disabled little brother.
