“A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots (靴子) on.” said Mark Twain. In today’s Internet world of “fake (假的) news,” lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.
To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors (谣言), half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell teal news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.
Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice (偏见). They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information.
Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be objective? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.
24. What does the writer say about young people with news around?
A. They make fake news and spread it. B. They are easily fooled by fake news.
C. They get worried about their education. D. They can recognize facts from opinions.
25. What does the underlined word “credible” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Primary. B. Realistic.
C. Believable. D. Important.
26. According to the writer, what can help us avoid being fooled by fake news?
A. Only look for news through media.
B. Become a professional and trained reporter.
C. Compare the news from different sources.
D. focus on the new instead of the writer.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. What Should a Reporter Do?
B. Who Makes and Spreads Fake New?
C. How Can We Become a Newspaper Editor?
D. How Can We Stay Objective in Reading News?
C
The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full swing. The season brings along with it strong winds and snow — an environment that’s never comfortable to be in.
This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering things that are usually reserved for the poorest and most unfortunate human beings.
The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being abandoned by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare play, As You Like It (1599), is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind,/Thou art not so unkind /As man’s ingratitude (忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity (不人道). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare.
Once winter became less of a threat to human beings, literary works featuring it became more positive. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature has often featured happy Christmas celebrations.
The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast to the fun going on indoors. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal:
“Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas (小香肠) and so on.
It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it.
Although winter still isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have certainly “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days.
28. What is winter like in Shakespeare’s works?
A. Pleasant. B. Comfortable. C. Stressful. D. Cruel.
29. What contribution did Charles Dickens make to the description of winter?
A. He wrote a lot of stories that were set in winter.
B. He was an author famous for describing winter.
C. He made a turning point in the description of winter.
D. He inspired readers to experience the cheerful winter.
30. What do the winter scenes in J. K.. Rowling’s works bring?
A. Magic. B. Joy. C. Cold. D. Ugliness.
31. In which section of the newspaper does the text probably appear?
A. Science and technology. B. Fashion and lifestyle. C. Culture and history. D. Health and medicine.
D
Under the soft glow of her laptop, 31-year-old Zhang Rui typed a message carefully. She followed instructions from Chinese social media: “You are a BaZi (八字) master. Analyze my fate — describe my appearance, important life events, and financial luck. I am female, born on June 17, 1993, at 4:42 a.m. in Hangzhou.”
DeepSeek R1, China’s most advanced AI, responded in just 15 seconds. The screen filled with detailed analysis, highlighting that 2025-2027 would be a “fire period” for her career. “I treat DeepSeek like a life advisor,” Zhang said. For many Chinese, this AI offers quick comfort instead of traditional therapy (治疗), which is often expensive and hard to access. “It’s my immediate solution when emotions overwhelm me.”
Zhang is not alone. As DeepSeek competes with OpenAI globally, young people in China are using AI to bring back ancient fortune-telling. WeChat Index shows over 2 million posts mentioned “DeepSeek fortune-telling” in February 2025. Users share AI-generated (AI生成的) readings, test different predictions, and even study old spiritual (精神上的) books with AI help.
This trend reflects rising social anxiety. After COVID, youth unemployment reached 21% in 2023 and stayed at 16% in 2024. Economic growth slowed to its lowest in decades. Many young Chinese call themselves the “last generation,” unsure about marriage and having children due to uncertain futures.
“During economic slowdowns, people seek control through spiritual practices,” says religion professor Ting Guo. In China, this often happens privately through phones or computers.
Rachel Zheng, a 32-year-old, uses DeepSeek for writing ideas. She asked how to connect natural energy with her work. The AI suggested writing a psychological thriller about life cycles, even recommending styles and themes. Her mother now also asks AI for health advice. “Master D has become our family's trusted helper,” Zheng says, using a popular nickname for the AI.
Unlike traditional fortune-tellers, DeepSeek is free and available 24/7. Users praise its detailed BaZi analysis compared to ChatGPT, which gives general answers and is not always accessible in China. “DeepSeek analyzes the details and makes specific predictions,” Zheng notes.
As DeepSeek grows, it becomes more than a tool — it bridges ancient wisdom with modern technology, creating a new cultural trend among China’s youth.
32. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. The AI’s role as a prompt coping mechanism. B. Her distrust of traditional fortune-tellers.
C. The AI’s limitations in emotional guidance. D. Her belief in AI as a divine being.
33. What might be the reason for the popularity of DeepSeek R1 in fortune-telling?
A. Economic growth directly leads to increased demand for AI tools.
B Uncertain economic futures drive young people to seek non-traditional forms of support.
C. AI technologies are primarily used for entertainment during economic downturns.
D. The government actively promotes AI adoption to address unemployment.
34. Why do many Chinese users prefer DeepSeek R1 to ChatGPT for fortune-telling?
A. It provides more personalized and culturally relevant predictions.
B. It has a longer history of integrating traditional practices.
C. It is not obtainable in China.
D. It charges lower fees for daily consultations.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To compare the technical capabilities of DeepSeek R1 and ChatGPT.
B. To illustrate how Chinese youth use AI to combine traditional practices with modern needs.
C. To analyze the economic impact of AI development in China.
D To explain the historical origins of BaZi fortune-telling.
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。
A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. ___36___
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: It’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ____37____ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
____38____ Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. ____39____ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. ____40____ Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A. Allow the book to grow with you.
B. So how does one approach a classic?
C. It has some form of historical influence.
D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.

“A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots (靴子) on.” said Mark Twain. In today’s Internet world of “fake (假的) news,” lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.
To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors (谣言), half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell teal news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.
Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice (偏见). They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information.
Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be objective? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.
24. What does the writer say about young people with news around?
A. They make fake news and spread it. B. They are easily fooled by fake news.
C They get worried about their education. D. They can recognize facts from opinions.
25. What does the underlined word “credible” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Primary. B. Realistic.
C. Believable. D. Important.
26. According to the writer, what can help us avoid being fooled by fake news?
A. Only look for news through media.
B. Become a professional and trained reporter.
C. Compare the news from different sources.
D. focus on the new instead of the writer.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. What Should a Reporter Do?
B. Who Makes and Spreads Fake New?
C. How Can We Become a Newspaper Editor?
D. How Can We Stay Objective in Reading News?
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说,通过互联网假新闻比真新闻传播得更快。某些网站混杂着事实和谣言,让年轻人难以分辨真假。因此,年轻人应该警惕被带有偏见的假新闻传播者利用。为获得真实的新闻,建议人们选择更专业的传统媒体,或者在网上获取新闻时对其进行判断和确认。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell teal news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story. (这导致年轻人变得困惑。最新的PISA测试了全球15岁学生的学术科目,据报道,只有不到十分之一的考生能够从意见中认清事实。斯坦福大学的一项研究表明,各级教育的学生无法区分假新闻和假新闻。在一个例子中,80%的人认为付费广告是一个真实的新闻故事)”可知,面对各种各样的新闻,年轻人很困惑,大多数无法辨别新闻的真伪,可得出年轻人很容易被假新闻愚弄。故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段本句“Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. (传统媒体,如报纸和电视,仍然是更credible信息来源)”和后句“Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. (记者是经过专业训练来寻找事实的,而编辑的工作是确保这些事实是正确的)”可知,记者是经过专业训练来寻找事实的,而编辑的工作是确保这些事实是正确的,可知传统媒体,如报纸和电视是可信的,划线处和C项:Believable (可信的)含义相近。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.(其次,从主流媒体寻找其他来源,确保信息。换句话说,穿上真实的靴子,你就不会被骗去追逐谎言)”可知,比较来自不同来源的新闻可以帮助我们避免被假新闻愚弄。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information. (因此,对年轻人来说,重要的是要意识到他们什么时候被利用了,并对网络信息持怀疑态度)”可知,年轻人很容易被假新闻愚弄;根据文章最后一段“However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be objective? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies. (然而,如果你的大部分信息都是从网上获得的,你就必须自己做编辑。在这种情况下,首先要做的是查看帖子的作者。这个人为人客观吗?你读这篇文章的网站有偏见吗?其次,从主流媒体寻找其他来源,确保信息。换句话说,穿上真实的靴子,你就不会被骗去追逐谎言)”说明可以帮助我们避免被假新闻愚弄的方法。D项:How Can We Stay Objective in Reading News?(我们如何在阅读新闻时保持客观)符合本文主旨。故选D。
C
The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full swing. The season brings along with it strong winds and snow — an environment that’s never comfortable to be in.
This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering things that are usually reserved for the poorest and most unfortunate human beings.
The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being abandoned by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare play, As You Like It (1599), is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind,/Thou art not so unkind /As man’s ingratitude (忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity (不人道). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare.
Once winter became less of a threat to human beings, literary works featuring it became more positive. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature has often featured happy Christmas celebrations.
The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast to the fun going on indoors. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal:
“Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas (小香肠) and so on.
It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it.
Although winter still isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have certainly “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days.
28. What is winter like in Shakespeare’s works?
A. Pleasant. B. Comfortable. C. Stressful. D. Cruel.
29. What contribution did Charles Dickens make to the description of winter?
A. He wrote a lot of stories that were set in winter.
B. He was an author famous for describing winter.
C. He made a turning point in the description of winter.
D. He inspired readers to experience the cheerful winter.
30. What do the winter scenes in J. K.. Rowling’s works bring?
A. Magic. B. Joy. C. Cold. D. Ugliness.
31. In which section of the newspaper does the text probably appear?
A. Science and technology. B. Fashion and lifestyle. C. Culture and history. D. Health and medicine.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作家笔下描述冬日的文学作品以及作家们赋予冬日的态度的变化历程。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two ungrateful daughters.(在文学作品中经常可以看到冬天令人不快甚至令人恐惧的一面。在莎士比亚的《李尔王》(1606)中,国王放弃了自己的王国,遭到了两个忘恩负义的女儿的拒绝)”可知,莎士比亚作品中的冬天是残忍的。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature has often featured happy Christmas celebrations.(自查尔斯·狄更斯以来,文学作品中对这个季节的描述常常以快乐的圣诞庆祝活动为特色)”可知,查尔斯·狄更斯对描写冬天的贡献是在描述冬天的时候有了一个转折点。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal:(想想J·k·罗琳的《哈利·波特与魔法石》(1997)中哈利·波特和他的朋友们坐下来享受节日大餐时的快乐吧)”可知,J. K.罗琳的作品给冬日带来欢乐。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。本文讲述了莎士比亚,狄更斯,J. K.罗琳等作家笔下描述冬日的文学作品以及作家们赋予冬日的态度的变化历程。可推测,这段文字可能出现在报纸文化和历史的部分。故选C。
D
Under the soft glow of her laptop, 31-year-old Zhang Rui typed a message carefully. She followed instructions from Chinese social media: “You are a BaZi (八字) master. Analyze my fate — describe my appearance, important life events, and financial luck. I am female, born on June 17, 1993, at 4:42 a.m. in Hangzhou.”
DeepSeek R1, China’s most advanced AI, responded in just 15 seconds. The screen filled with detailed analysis, highlighting that 2025-2027 would be a “fire period” for her career. “I treat DeepSeek like a life advisor,” Zhang said. For many Chinese, this AI offers quick comfort instead of traditional therapy (治疗), which is often expensive and hard to access. “It’s my immediate solution when emotions overwhelm me.”
Zhang is not alone. As DeepSeek competes with OpenAI globally, young people in China are using AI to bring back ancient fortune-telling. WeChat Index shows over 2 million posts mentioned “DeepSeek fortune-telling” in February 2025. Users share AI-generated (AI生成的) readings, test different predictions, and even study old spiritual (精神上的) books with AI help.
This trend reflects rising social anxiety. After COVID, youth unemployment reached 21% in 2023 and stayed at 16% in 2024. Economic growth slowed to its lowest in decades. Many young Chinese call themselves the “last generation,” unsure about marriage and having children due to uncertain futures.
“During economic slowdowns, people seek control through spiritual practices,” says religion professor Ting Guo. In China, this often happens privately through phones or computers.
Rachel Zheng, a 32-year-old, uses DeepSeek for writing ideas. She asked how to connect natural energy with her work. The AI suggested writing a psychological thriller about life cycles, even recommending styles and themes. Her mother now also asks AI for health advice. “Master D has become our family's trusted helper,” Zheng says, using a popular nickname for the AI.
Unlike traditional fortune-tellers, DeepSeek is free and available 24/7. Users praise its detailed BaZi analysis compared to ChatGPT, which gives general answers and is not always accessible in China. “DeepSeek analyzes the details and makes specific predictions,” Zheng notes.
As DeepSeek grows, it becomes more than a tool — it bridges ancient wisdom with modern technology, creating a new cultural trend among China’s youth.
32 What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. The AI’s role as a prompt coping mechanism. B. Her distrust of traditional fortune-tellers.
C. The AI’s limitations in emotional guidance. D. Her belief in AI as a divine being.
33. What might be the reason for the popularity of DeepSeek R1 in fortune-telling?
A. Economic growth directly leads to increased demand for AI tools.
B. Uncertain economic futures drive young people to seek non-traditional forms of support.
C. AI technologies are primarily used for entertainment during economic downturns.
D. The government actively promotes AI adoption to address unemployment.
34. Why do many Chinese users prefer DeepSeek R1 to ChatGPT for fortune-telling?
A. It provides more personalized and culturally relevant predictions.
B. It has a longer history of integrating traditional practices.
C. It is not obtainable in China.
D. It charges lower fees for daily consultations.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To compare the technical capabilities of DeepSeek R1 and ChatGPT.
B. To illustrate how Chinese youth use AI to combine traditional practices with modern needs.
C. To analyze the economic impact of AI development in China.
D. To explain the historical origins of BaZi fortune-telling.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了中国年轻人利用先进的人工智能 DeepSeek R1 进行八字算命等活动,将古老的算命智慧与现代技术相结合,满足现代需求。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 “For many Chinese, this AI offers quick comfort instead of traditional therapy (治疗), which is often expensive and hard to access. “It’s my immediate solution when emotions overwhelm me.”(对于许多中国人来说,这种人工智能提供了快速的安慰,而不是传统的治疗,传统治疗往往昂贵且难以获得。“当情绪压垮我时,它是我的即时解决方案”)” 可知,划线句子指的是:人工智可以作为一种快速应对机制。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This trend reflects rising social anxiety. After COVID, youth unemployment reached 21% in 2023 and stayed at 16% in 2024. Economic growth slowed to its lowest in decades. Many young Chinese call themselves the “last generation,” unsure about marriage and having children due to uncertain futures.(这一趋势反映了不断上升的社会焦虑。新冠疫情之后,2023 年青年失业率达到 21%,2024 年仍保持在 16%。经济增长放缓至几十年来的最低水平。许多中国年轻人称自己为 “最后一代”,由于未来不确定,他们对婚姻和生育感到不确定)” 可知,经济的不确定性导致年轻人对未来感到焦虑和不确定,这使得他们寻求非传统的支持形式,如通过人工智能进行算命等。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二 段“Unlike traditional fortune - tellers, DeepSeek is free and available 24/7. Users praise its detailed BaZi analysis compared to ChatGPT, which gives general answers and is not always accessible in China. “DeepSeek analyzes the details and makes specific predictions,” Zheng notes.(与传统算命先生不同,DeepSeek 是免费的,且随时可用。与 ChatGPT 相比,用户称赞它对八字的详细分析,ChatGPT 给出的是一般性答案,而且在中国并不总是能访问到。“DeepSeek 分析细节并做出具体预测,” 郑指出)” 可知,用户更喜欢 DeepSeek R1 是因为它能提供更详细、更具体的分析和预测,即更个性化和与文化相关的预测。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。主要讲述了中国年轻人利用先进的人工智能 DeepSeek R1 进行八字算命等活动,将古老的算命智慧与现代技术相结合,满足现代需求。同时分析了这一现象背后的社会原因,如经济压力、年轻人的焦虑等,还介绍了 DeepSeek R1 相比其他人工智能在算命方面的优势。所以短文的目的是“说明中国年轻人如何利用人工智能将传统实践与现代需求相结合”,故选B。
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。
A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. ___36___
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: It’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ____37____ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
____38____ Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. ____39____ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. ____40____ Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A. Allow the book to grow with you.
B. So how does one approach a classic?
C. It has some form of historical influence.
D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了阅读经典文学的方法与心态,包括接受困惑、研究背景、勇敢开始以及享受解读的过程。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us.(对经典作品的喜爱显然不是一见钟情的。这是一个循序渐进的过程。我们一开始只是泛泛之交,最终却成了亲密无间、能分享只有彼此才懂的玩笑的朋友)”可知,人们与经典作品的关系是逐渐建立的,下文则列出了一些接近经典作品的方法,空处需承上启下,B选项“So how does one approach a classic?(那么一个人该如何接近一部经典呢?)”在此处起到了很好的过渡作用,它基于上文所描述的经典阅读的现状,引出下文针对如何阅读经典的具体阐述,符合上下文的逻辑关系,起到了承上启下的作用,故选B。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.(相反,你应该为自己的尝试感到自豪,并为你将学到的所有新事物感到兴奋)”可知,空处与下文形成转折关系。由此可知,E选项“Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.(永远不要因为不知道而责怪自己)”能够与下文形成语义的转折,符合语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据本段小标题“Research, research, research.(研究,研究,再研究)”可知,本段主要建议要做研究。由此可知,D选项“Before you turn to page one, do some digging.(在你翻到第一页之前,做一些调查)”中“do some digging”与小标题中的“Research”意思相近,都表达了在阅读经典之前进行研究的意思,符合本段主旨,符合语境。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据上文“While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so.(虽然仅仅拿起一本书并不难,但我们都知道,说服自己去这么做可能会有多难)”及下文“Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. (深吸一口气,然后纵身跃上梅尔维尔笔下 “裴廓德号” 的甲板,或者小心翼翼地穿过德古拉城堡的大门)”可知,有时候开始阅读一本经典作品需要一些动力及读书的具体做法。F选项“Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.(提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)”提供了一个很好的动力,即把阅读经典作品看作是一个学习的机会,从而激励自己去开始阅读,同时也与下文鼓励进入书中情境进行阅读相呼应,符合上下文逻辑。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process.(阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。不存在权威性的解读,也没有唯一确切的答案。作为读者,你的目标是去发现哪些方面和见解对你来说是有意义的。享受这个过程)”可知,上文强调阅读经典没有唯一正确的方式,鼓励读者发现对自己有意义的方面并享受这个过程,G选项“Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. (考虑一下让你困惑的地方,有目的地阅读,并进行批判性思考)”是实现上文所提目标的具体做法,且这些做法符合没有绝对正确答案的理念,能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。
第三部分 语言运用(共三节,满分50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。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国宣纸的特性、历史发展以及制作程序。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意:在他的书中,张将宣纸描述为书法和绘画的思想载体。本空用名词carrier“载体”,结合空前的an可知,用单数形式,作宾语。故填carrier。
【57题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:中国东部安徽省靖县的手工宣纸因其卓越的品质在这一时期被列为朝廷的贡品。主语Handmade Xuan paper与list“把……列表,列清单”构成被动关系,根据后文during the period可知,事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,句子用一般过去时的被动语态,主语Handmade Xuan paper为第三人称单数,be动词用was。故填was listed。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:制作宣纸的传统工艺要求非常高。此处修饰空后的形容词demanding,应用副词extraordinarily“非常”,作状语。故填extraordinarily。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:产自中国南方的檀香树皮,经过108道工序,再加上稻草,经过3年的时间,最终制成精美的宣纸。分析句子结构可知,本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是process,关系词代替先行词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:产自中国南方的檀香树皮,经过108道工序,再加上稻草,经过3年的时间,最终制成精美的宣纸。固定搭配transform…into…“转化成”。故填into。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:整个过程是如此复杂,即使是最熟练的工匠也只能掌握数量有限的步骤。a limited number of“数量有限的”,为固定短语,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:水墨的流动,既有水的引导,也有水的抵抗,决定了中国艺术的输出,宣纸以其出色的墨的发挥能力而傲视群雄。ability to do sth.意为“做某事的能力”,用give“给”的不定式,作后置定语,修饰ability。故填to give。
【63题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:宣纸与中国文人的热情笔画相伴了数千年。根据句中的时间状语for thousands of years可知,accompany“陪伴”这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,句子时态应用现在完成时。主语Xuan paper为不可数名词,助动词使用has。故填has accompanied。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:与其他形式的纸不同,它非常耐时间带来的损坏。分析句子结构可知本句be动词为is,此处为非谓语动词,bring“带来”与逻辑主语damage构成被动关系,故用过去分词,作定语。故填brought。
【65题详解】
考查强调句。句意:正是这种耐久性使得许多中国古代的珍贵作品得以保存。分析句子结构可知,此处为强调句:it is+被强调部分+that/who+其他,被强调部分为this durability,应用that。故填that。

【答案】Dear fellow students,
We all know that climate change is one of the significant challenges facing our planet today. As the chairman of the Students’ Union, I am eager to call upon every one of you to reduce our carbon footprint.
Let’s start with reducing water consumption. Keep our shower time as short as possible, which is an important and easy way to save water on campus. Besides, it is of utmost importance to switch off lights and unplug other electrical appliances when not in use. Last but not least, in our daily life, it is highly advisable to use reusable products whenever possible. For example, refill the thermos with water or tea instead of buying disposable plastic bottled water.
As an old saying goes, “Together, individuals can make a difference.” Working hand in hand, we can surely make a big difference.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
