For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I often liked to play tricks on people at MIT. One time in mechanical drawing class, someone picked up a French curve (曲线板) and said, “I wonder if the curves on this thing have some special formula?” I thought for a moment and said, “Sure they do. The curves are very special. Let me show you.” I picked up my French curve and began to turn it slowly. “The French curve is made so that at the lowest point on each curve, no matter how you turn it, the tangent (切线) is horizontal.” All the guys in the class held their french curves up at different angles, placing their pencils at the lowest point, and discovered that the tangent was indeed horizontal. They were all excited by this “discovery” — even though they had already learned in calculus (微积分) that the derivative (切线的斜率) of the minimum of any curve is zero. They didn’t connect the two ideas. Their knowledge was so fragile! I did a similar trick four years later at Princeton. I was talking with an assistant of Einstein, who worked with gravity all the time. I gave him a problem: You blast off in a rocket with a clock on board, and there’s a clock on the ground. You have to return when the ground clock says one hour has passed. You want your clock to be as far ahead as possible. According to Einstein, if you go very high, your clock goes faster because the higher something is in a gravitational field, the faster its clock goes. But if you go too high, you have to go so fast that the speed slows your clock down. So you can’t go too high. The question is, what program of speed and height should you make to get the maximum time on your clock? The assistant worked on it for a while before realizing the answer is the real motion of matter. If you shoot something up normally, so that the time it takes to go up and come down is an hour, that’s the correct motion. It’s the fundamental principle of Einstein’s gravity — the “proper time” is at a maximum for the actual curve. But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen. This fragility is fairly common, even among learned people. 44. What did the students in the mechanical drawing class discover about the French curve? A. The curves on the French curve were designed to follow a specific mathematical pattern. B. The tangent at the lowest point of the curve was always horizontal, no matter how it was turned. C. The French curve could only be used to draw straight lines. D. The curves on the French curve were related to basic calculus principles. 45. The author describes certain kind of knowledge as “fragile” or “fragility”, and which of the following words is closest in meaning to “fragile” in this context? A. Delicate. B. Complex. C. Solid. D. Precise. 46. How would the author most likely view Einstein’s assistant? A. He is a creative thinker but takes time to apply his knowledge effectively. B. He lacks a deep understanding of Einstein’s theories and often makes mistakes. C. He is confident but initially struggles to connect his knowledge to practical problems. D. He is knowledgeable but struggles to apply his knowledge in practical situations. (B) They don’t just stay in a room waiting to die If you have relatives in care homes, you may know what’s typically on offer. A care home might be just a repurposed big old house, or a new-build as cost-efficient as a budget hotel. No matter how old you are now, there’s a point in caring about what’s going on. It’s an issue for society in general as the population ages. Architecture has a role to play, as the physical environment can improve or harm the wellbeing of residents. Done right, design can make the care of elderly people less stressful and more effective. For architects, designing for older people and those living with age-related diseases gives them a chance to do something of social value. The Village Landais, in the town of Dax in south-west France, is a good example. It is an attempt to “give real life back” to people with Alzheimer’s. As one staff member puts it, “they don’t just stay in a room waiting to die.” It features an arcaded square with a restaurant, library and other facilities. Four groups of buildings are built around a pleasant green space, with a pond and trees in the middle. The project, which opened in 2020, aims to give as much freedom to the villagers as possible. The five-hectare community has a fence around it for the safety of its vulnerable residents. Within its boundary, though, people can come and go more or less as they please. They can walk around the open spaces, visit their neighbours, go to the restaurant or to a show in the village auditorium, and attend to animals and plants in a mini-farm and a kitchen garden. There are other details designed to reduce the effects of the disease. The paving is beige, as strong contrasts can make people with Alzheimer’s feel anxious. Light and dark are used to attract attention to where it should go. Pale door handles, for example, are placed against darker backgrounds. There’s also a make-believe shop, where villagers can “buy” products without actually paying for them. A make-believe compartment of an old-fashioned railway carriage has a screen inside that shows countryside scrolling by to make patients think they really have been on a journey, which can calm the residents. These attempts appear to work. In Dax, the villagers seem cheerful and relaxed. Independent research recently found that markers for such things as cognitive decline and depression were significantly better in the Dax village than in other care homes. 47. What can be inferred from the first paragraph about care homes? A. Their quality is mainly determined by their age. B. Their design has a significant impact on the elderly’s life. C. They are all newly-built to realize cost-efficiency. D. They are not a concern for the young. 48. What do the make-believe shop and old-fashioned railway carriage compartment in Village Landais aim at? A. Allowing residents to practice shopping skills. B. Encouraging residents to learn about history. C. Training residents to adapt to the outside world. D. Providing a sense of normalcy and calmness to the residents. 49. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. An introduction to the basic facilities within a typical care home. B. A discussion on treating Alzheimer’s disease effectively via architecture. C. An illustration of how care homes improve elderly life, especially for Alzheimer’s patients. D. A comparison of different care homes in terms of their architectural designs. (C) The English language, which is widely used around the world today, has a long and fascinating history. Its origin dates from the 5th century when Germanic tribes, such as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, invaded Britain. Their languages were part of a language chain that eventually led to the formation of English. These languages combined and gradually formed Old English (450-1150), which was quite different from the English we use today, with a complex inflectional system and a large number of Germanic words. Then came the Middle English period (1150-1450). After the Norman Conquest in 1066, French became the language of the ruling class in England. As a result, a significant amount of French vocabulary merged into English. This influx of French words not only changed the vocabulary but also multiplied the complexity of the language’s grammar and usage. For example, many words related to law, government, and cuisine were borrowed from French, showing a remarkable similarity between the two languages in these fields. This led to a significant change in the English language, making it more diverse in vocabulary and grammar. The Renaissance also had a profound impact on English. It not only introduced many Latin and Greek words but also, along with the development of printing technology, promoted the standardization of English. This made the language more stable and laid the foundation for its spread around the world. Since then, Modern English has emerged. As time went by, the English language continued to evolve. Today, English is the most widely used language globally. It serves as an official language in more than 50 countries. In the fields of international business, diplomacy, and education, the role of English is indispensable to other languages. It is also the language of the Internet, with a large proportion of online information being in English. Additionally, English has a rich variety of dialects around the world, such as American English, British English, Australian English, etc., each with its own unique features. However, the widespread use of English has unfortunately led to the extinction of some minority languages, as more and more people choose to communicate in English. In conclusion, the development of the English language is a long-term process influenced by various historical events and cultural exchanges. Its current status as a global language reflects its versatility and adaptability. 50. What was the most significant change to the English language during the Middle English period? A. The simplification of its complex inflectional system. B. The addition of a large number of French-rooted words. C. The multiplication of Germanic words in grammar and usage. D. The formation of a language chain leading to Modern English. 51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Compared with Old English, English today has a large number of Germanic words. B. Norman rulers promoted teaching of French, making English more diverse. C. Latin and Greek words became dominant in English in the Renaissance. D. English now holds formal recognition in numerous countries worldwide. 52. It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that ________. A. evolution is called for in English despite its indispensable role B. English is composed of a large number of Internet words C. some languages are going extinct owing to the dominance of English D. English dialects share uniform features regardless of regional variations. 53. What would be the best title for the passage? A. English: From Germanic Roots to Continental Expansion B. English: From Humble Origin to Global Domination C. English: Obscure Origin and Gradual Growth D. English: Modest Onset and Domestic Growth Section C (6%) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then choose the sentences that can be filled into the blanks. Note there are two more sentences than can be used. Learning to Choose, to Let Go, and to Embrace Regrets for Growth In the journey of life, we often find ourselves at a crossroads, faced with the challenging task of choosing one path over another. However, the art of making wise choices often requires us to let go of certain desires and dreams. Embracing this duality — choosing and releasing — is essential for personal growth and fulfillment. Life, much like a video game, presents us with countless options and decisions. ___54___. Our time and energy are limited, and we must focus on what truly matters. Choosing, at its core, reflects our values and aspirations. It demands self-awareness and a clear understanding of our goals. For instance, consider a high school student torn between pursuing a passion for music and excelling in core academic subjects to se cure a better college future. ___55___. However, making wise choices also involves recognizing the need to let go. This means acknowledging desires or dreams that may no longer align with our well-being or are beyond our control. Letting go might mean stepping away from a cherished hobby, distancing ourselves from a social circle that no longer supports us, or releasing a long-held dream that has outlived its purpose. It’s not about achieving perfection but about prioritizing what truly matters and managing our resources wisely. ___56___. They serve as persistent reminders of past mistakes or unfulfilled aspirations. The student might regret not dedicating enough time to certain subjects or missing out on valuable experiences due to overcommitment. Yet, when faced head-on, these regrets can become powerful teachers, offering lessons that shape our future decisions. This process of choosing, letting go, and learning from regrets helps us evolve and mature. It transforms life’s challenges into valuable wisdom, guiding us toward a more purposeful and fulfilling journey. Now, if you’re a student sitting an exam and suddenly realize time is slipping away, take a deep breath and smile. Remember, this exam is just another opportunity to practice the art of decision-making. If you can’t answer every question, it’s okay to let some go. ___57___. After all, the best players in life know when to level up and move on to the next challenge with grace and resilience. A. But in the game world, not only can we easily bypass tough situations with simple cheats, but we can also start over afresh without any real-world consequences holding us back. B. such a decision is fraught with complexity, requiring careful consideration of personal interests, long-term ambitions, and the inevitable trade-offs involved. C. Regrets, though painful, are an inevitable part of life. D. Instead of looking back on the past, we should always keep our eyes on the future and strive for greater achievements. E. Focus on what you know and make the most of the time you have. F. Yet, unlike a game where shortcuts or tricks might help us overcome obstacles, real life offers no such luxuries. 第Ⅱ卷 (21分) IV.
