If applying for Philosophy, Politics and Economics, you will be required to take both sections of the TSA. However, you will be required to take Section One only if you are applying for: ·Economics and Management ·Experimental Psychology ·History and Economics ·Human Sciences ·Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics Section One is made up of 50 multiple-choice questions and aims to assess the following: problem-solving skills, including numerical reasoning as well as critical thinking skills, including understanding argument and reasoning using everyday language. Section Two is a writing task that seeks to evaluate a candidate’s ability to organize ideas in a clear and brief manner, and communicate them properly in writing. Questions are not subject-specific and candidates must answer one question from a choice of four. This Oxford admissions test is now computer-based, and you will need to arrange to take it at a Pearson VUE authorized test center. You will be able to register to take the TSA from Friday,15 August,2025 until Saturday,4 October,2025. Instructions on how to do this can be found under the How do I register? tab on this page. All applicants taking this test will be invited to practice taking a sample paper online in advance of the test day. We also strongly recommend that you explore all the past papers and resources available under the Test preparation and practice materials tab. As the content and structure of this test have not changed, all existing online resources and past papers are still valuable for preparation. 1. Who is the text intended for? A. Teachers who teach critical thinking skills. B. Writers who want to improve writing skills. C. Test administrators at Pearson VUE centers. D. Students applying for certain courses in Oxford. 2. What is the main purpose of Section Two in the TSA? A. To measure the candidates’ critical thinking skills. B. To test the candidates’ knowledge of some subjects. C. To assess the candidates’ writing and communication skills. D. To evaluate the candidates’ ability to solve numerical problems. 3. What does the text say about the TSA? A. It can be taken at any place. B. Registration lasts for a specific period. C. Preparing a sample paper is required. D. It is a mix of online and offline approaches. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。是关于“思维能力评估（TSA）”考试的介绍和指南。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If applying for Philosophy, Politics and Economics, you will be required to take both sections of the TSA. However, you will be required to take Section One only if you are applying for(如果申请哲学、政治和经济，你将被要求参加TSA的这两个部分。但是，只有在下列情况下，你才需要参加第一节)”以及倒数第二段“This Oxford admissions test is now computer-based, and you will need to arrange to take it at a Pearson VUE authorized test center.(这项牛津大学入学考试现在是基于计算机的，你需要安排在Pearson VUE授权的考试中心参加考试)”可知，这篇文章的读者是申请牛津大学某些课程的学生。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Section Two is a writing task that seeks to evaluate a candidate’s ability to organize ideas in a clear and brief manner, and communicate them properly in writing. (第二部分是一个写作任务，旨在评估候选人以清晰和简短的方式组织思想的能力，并在写作中适当地表达他们的能力。)”可知，TSA第二部分的主要目的是评估考生的写作和沟通能力。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“You will be able to register to take the TSA from Friday,15 August,2025 until Saturday,4 October,2025.(您可以在2025年8月15日（星期五）至2025年10月4日（星期六）期间登记参加TSA考试)”可知，TSA注册有一个特定的期限。故选B项。 B Standing on the stage at my first overseas conference, I felt a mix of awe and unease. I had been invited to present my research, a milestone that was supposed to boost my confidence. Yet, as I nervously flipped (快速翻阅) through my notes, I heard a familiar whisper: What if they discover I don’t truly belong here? This feeling, known as impostor syndrome (冒名顶替综合征), had shadowed me long before this moment. It first emerged on me in high school, where I failed my final year. I didn’t value learning then, and being surrounded by classmates who had already given up and teachers who didn’t seem to care only strengthened my boredom. Changing schools and then starting university gave me a fresh chance, but I was worried I would be exposed as someone who didn’t belong. However, something changed in me at that conference. Despite my anxiety, my presentation was well-received, and the encouragement from senior researchers provided a much-needed sense of validation. Yet, the real turning point came during a session for early-career researchers. A German scientist, whose work I had cited in my own research, leaned forward and admitted, “I still feel like an impostor sometimes.” The room seemed to exhale (呼气) collectively, as if a shared burden had been lifted. We were all thinking the same thing: Wait, you feel it, too? One by one, other researchers — all individuals with decades of experience and countless publications — shared their own stories of self-doubt, revealing moments when they, too, felt unqualified or undeserving of their success. That moment reframed everything for me. Impostor syndrome, I realized, was not necessarily a mark of failure. These experts, despite their profound knowledge, were strongly aware of the vastness of what they did not know, and this awareness fueled their drive to learn and improve. If that’s what made them feel like impostors, then I was happy to be a part of that club. Now, whenever self-doubt resurfaces — whether I’m writing an article or preparing a talk — I remind myself that this feeling is not a weakness but a sign that I am pushing the boundaries of my understanding, just like those I admire. 4. How was the author’s high school life? A. It offered enough freedom. B. It was shaped by demanding teachers. C. It showed signs of achieving academic success. D. It was marked by a lack of interest and support. 5. What does the underlined word “validation” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Recognition. B. Adventure. C. Duty. D. Balance. 6. Which words can be used to describe the German scientist? A. Accomplished and honest. B. Inspiring and confident. C. Innovative and optimistic. D. Determined and passionate. 7. What message does the text deliver? A. Success requires constant encouragement from others. B. Academic achievements help remove impostor syndrome. C. Impostor syndrome is widely experienced and can indicate growth. D. Self-doubt is a barrier to personal development and should be avoided. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以第一人称的视角，讲述了作者个人在学术生涯中经历“冒名顶替综合征”的心路历程，以及如何通过一次海外会议上的经历，对这种心理状态有了新的认识和转变。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It first emerged on me in high school, where I failed my final year. I didn’t value learning then, and being surrounded by classmates who had already given up and teachers who didn’t seem to care only strengthened my boredom.(我第一次意识到这一点是在高中的时候，当时我最后一年不及格。那时的我并不重视学习，而周围的同学都已经放弃了，老师似乎也不在乎，这只会让我更加厌倦)”可知，作者的高中生活缺乏兴趣和支持。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“However, something changed in me at that conference. Despite my anxiety, my presentation was well-received(然而，在那次会议上，我的内心发生了变化。尽管我很焦虑，但我的报告还是很受欢迎)”可知，作者的内心发生了变化，他的报告很受欢迎，所以“应是资深研究人员的鼓励提供了一种急需的认可感”，推知validation应是“认可”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A German scientist, whose work I had cited in my own research, leaned forward and admitted, “I still feel like an impostor sometimes.” The room seemed to exhale (呼气) collectively, as if a shared burden had been lifted. We were all thinking the same thing: Wait, you feel it, too? One by one, other researchers — all individuals with decades of experience and countless publications — shared their own stories of self-doubt, revealing moments when they, too, felt unqualified or undeserving of their success.(一位德国科学家——我在自己的研究中引用了他的研究成果——倾身承认，“有时我还是觉得自己是个冒名顶替者。”整个房间似乎都在一起呼气，好像一个共同的负担被解除了。我们都在想同一件事：等等，你也感觉到了吗？其他研究人员一个接一个地分享了他们自己的自我怀疑的故事，他们都有几十年的经验和无数的出版物，揭示了他们也觉得自己不够格或不配获得成功的时刻)”可推知，德国科学家的研究被引用，所以是有成就的，且坦承自我怀疑，所以是诚实的。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“That moment reframed everything for me. Impostor syndrome, I realized, was not necessarily a mark of failure. These experts, despite their profound knowledge, were strongly aware of the vastness of what they did not know, and this awareness fueled their drive to learn and improve. If that’s what made them feel like impostors, then I was happy to be a part of that club.(那一刻改变了我的一切。我意识到，冒名顶替综合症不一定是失败的标志。这些专家尽管知识渊博，但他们强烈地意识到自己不知道的东西还有很多，这种意识推动了他们学习和提高的动力。如果这让他们觉得自己是冒名顶替者，那么我很高兴成为那个俱乐部的一员)”以及最后一段“Now, whenever self-doubt resurfaces — whether I’m writing an article or preparing a talk—I remind myself that this feeling is not a weakness but a sign that I am pushing the boundaries of my understanding, just like those I admire.(现在，每当自我怀疑再次出现——无论是在写文章还是准备演讲——我都会提醒自己，这种感觉不是一种弱点，而是一种迹象，表明我正在挑战自己理解能力的极限，就像那些我钦佩的人一样)”可知，本文主要表达冒名顶替综合症很常见，可能预示着成长。故选C项。 C The dogs’ names are Mars Moon and Pluto, and you might say their cancer-sniffing (嗅) skills are out of this world. An experimental screening method that paired the dogs with AI was able to detect the odor (气味) of cancer carried on patients’ breaths. The dog-AI combination was highly accurate and sensitive, successfully spotting four types of cancer in 94 percent of cases, scientists reported recently in Scientific Reports. What’s more, the screening worked just as well detecting early-stage cancers as it did later-stage cancers, says Assaf Rabinowicz, chief technology officer at SpotitEarly, the company that developed the method. He emphasizes that early detection is crucial in that it ensures more favorable clinical outcomes for patients, thus lengthening their life. The new screening method taps dogs’ “amazing olfactory capabilities,” Rabinowicz says. Dogs and other animals can act like disease detectives, sniffing out the weak smells that serve as cancer’s odor fingerprint. For this study, Rabinowicz’s team trained Labradors to smell breath samples and sit if they sniffed breast, lung, colorectal or prostate cancer. Figuring out whether the dogs are indicating yes or no sounds simple, but consistently reading their body language can be tricky for humans. That’s where AI comes in. The researchers trained an Al model that relies on machine learning and computer vision to translate the dogs’ cues. The team partnered with medical centers to test their system on breath samples from nearly 1,400participants,261 of whom had tested positive for one of the four cancer types the dogs trained on. With the help of AI, the dog detectors picked out 245 of these cases. And they rarely called a negative sample “positive” — just 60out of 1,048 cases. SpotitEarly is planning a larger clinical trial in the United States and is aiming to report early results in 2026.The company is now working with another type of dog — Beagles — for the cancer-detecting work, partly because they’re smaller and easier to train. But Mars, Moon, Pluto and the other Labradors who worked in the study are still top dogs to the researchers, and continue to contribute to research and development, Rabinowicz says. 8. What is the key to the new cancer-detecting method? A. Getting as many odor samples as possible. B. Using advanced technology to analyze the odors. C. Exposing dogs to early-stage cancer patients. D. Combining dogs’ sense of smell with advanced technology. 9. Why is early cancer detection so important? A. It can reduce the cost of cancer treatment. B. It can improve the survival chances of cancer patients. C. It can facilitate more investment into cancer research. D. It can help hospitals to prioritize high-risk patients. 10. What role does AI play in the process? A. An interpreter. B. An inspector. C. A trainer. D. A doctor. 11. What do the figures in paragraph 5 show? A. The necessity of further clinical trials. B. The need for improvement in false positives. C. The effectiveness of the cancer screening method. D. The distribution of different types of cancer detected. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了狗与人工智能结合的癌症检测方法及其优势和进展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An experimental screening method that paired the dogs with AI was able to detect the odor (气味) of cancer carried on patients’ breaths. The dog-AI combination was highly accurate and sensitive, successfully spotting four types of cancer in 94 percent of cases, scientists reported recently in Scientific Reports.(一种将狗狗与人工智能相结合的实验性筛查方法能够检测到患者呼吸中携带的癌症气味。科学家近日在《科学报告》中称，这种狗狗-人工智能组合方式精准度和灵敏度极高，在 94% 的病例中成功识别出了四种癌症)” 以及第三段“The new screening method taps dogs’ “amazing olfactory capabilities,” Rabinowicz says.(拉比诺维茨说，新的筛查方法利用了狗 “惊人的嗅觉能力”)”可知，新的癌症检测方法的关键是将狗的嗅觉与先进技术（人工智能）相结合。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He emphasizes that early detection is crucial in that it ensures more favorable clinical outcomes for patients, thus lengthening their life.(他强调，早期检测至关重要，因为它能确保患者获得更有利的临床结果，从而延长他们的生命)”可知，早期癌症检测很重要是因为它可以提高癌症患者的生存几率。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Figuring out whether the dogs are indicating yes or no sounds simple, but consistently reading their body language can be tricky for humans. That’s where AI comes in. The researchers trained an Al model that relies on machine learning and computer vision to translate the dogs’ cues.(判断狗是表示肯定还是否定听起来很简单，但持续解读它们的肢体语言对人类来说可能很棘手。这就是人工智能发挥作用的地方。研究人员训练了一种人工智能模型，该模型依靠机器学习和计算机视觉来解读狗的暗示)”可推知，人工智能在这个过程中扮演的角色是一个 “翻译者”，将狗的暗示进行解读。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“With the help of AI, the dog detectors picked out 245 of these cases. And they rarely called a negative sample “positive” — just 60out of 1,048 cases.(在人工智能的帮助下，狗探测器在这些病例中找出了245例。而且它们很少将阴性样本判定为“阳性”——在1048 个病例中只有60例)”可知，这些数字表明了这种癌症筛查方法能够准确地检测出癌症病例且很少出现误判，说明了这种癌症筛查方法的有效性。故选C。 D The headline conclusion from a paper published last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research is that the more you work over your lifetime, the more you earn. So far, so obvious. But the surprises are hidden in an explanation that’s more complex than you’d think. The authors use large numbers of surveys tracking individuals as far back as 1979. They find that a major determinant of total lifetime working hours is individual choice — some people just prefer to work more, while others might prioritize other activities. Going a step further, the paper finds that those who work more earn more because they master more skills over time during the extra time they work. The overlapping (叠加的) effects of different preferences for work and different levels of skill acquisition account for a huge share of overall differences in lifetime earnings, and operate independent of other factors such as the level of education or skills an individual gains before entering the labor force. In other words, income inequality is in part a matter of choice rather than unchangeable economic or social forces. The study isn’t a comprehensive overview of labor market behavior, and the authors don’t claim it is. Their survey sample examines only men who have been “highly attached” to the labor market over their full working lives, meaning working at least 520 hours per year. The conclusions might be relevant to debates about gender pay gaps — where different preferences for paid work versus working at home to raise a family often come into play — but that awaits further study. One implication is that a labor market is too complex to bear simple analyses — or heavy-handed regulation (监管). The economists note as a typical example the failure of French efforts to boost earnings by limiting the work week. Politicians always hope this will force companies to hire more workers. But such laws stop those who want to work more from doing so, and boosting their skills in the process, while not requiring those who prefer to work less to spend more time on the job. 12. How do the paper authors come to the conclusion? A. By conducting experiments. B. By analyzing previous data. C. By investigating the overlapping effects. D. By comparing the earnings of different industries. 13. What is a limitation of the study according to the text? A. It mainly examines those who work part-time. B. It fails to consider the role of individual preferences. C. It ignores the impact of education on lifetime earnings. D. It excludes women and part-time workers from the sample. 14. What can be inferred from the example of France’s attempt? A. It may prevent some people from improving their skills. B. It can effectively reduce income inequality in the long run. C. It can definitely lead to more job opportunities for workers. D. It may encourage companies to invest more in employee training. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Truth behind Gender Pay Gaps B. The Complexity of the Labor Market C. The Link between Working Hours and Eamings D. The Significance of Education in Lifetime Earnings 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通过引用国家经济研究局上个月发表的一篇论文，深入分析了工作时间与收入之间的关系，并探讨了这种关系背后的复杂因素。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The authors use large numbers of surveys tracking individuals as far back as 1979. They find that a major determinant of total lifetime working hours is individual choice—some people just prefer to work more, while others might prioritize other activities.(作者从1979年开始对个人进行了大量调查。他们发现，决定一生总工作时间的一个主要因素是个人选择——有些人只是更喜欢工作，而另一些人可能会优先考虑其他活动)”可知，论文作者是通过分析之前的数据得出结论的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The study isn’t a comprehensive overview of labor market behavior, and the authors don’t claim it is. Their survey sample examines only men who have been “highly attached” to the labor market over their full working lives, meaning working at least 520 hours per year.(这项研究并不是对劳动力市场行为的全面概述，作者也不这么认为。他们的调查样本只调查了那些在整个职业生涯中“高度依附”劳动力市场的男性，这意味着他们每年至少工作520个小时)”可推知，研究的局限性是将女性和兼职工作者排除在样本之外。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The economists note as a typical example the failure of French efforts to boost earnings by limiting the work week. Politicians always hope this will force companies to hire more workers. But such laws stop those who want to work more from doing so, and boosting their skills in the process, while not requiring those who prefer to work less to spend more time on the job.(经济学家们指出，法国通过限制每周工作时间来提高收入的努力未能成功，这是一个典型的例子。政客们总是希望这会迫使公司雇佣更多的工人。但这样的法律阻止了那些想要更多工作的人这样做，并在此过程中提高他们的技能，同时不要求那些喜欢少工作的人花更多的时间在工作上)”可知，从法国的尝试可以推断出它可能会阻止一些人提高他们的技能。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The headline conclusion from a paper published last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research is that the more you work over your lifetime, the more you earn. So far, so obvious. But the surprises are hidden in an explanation that’s more complex than you’d think.(美国国家经济研究局（National Bureau of Economic Research）上月发表的一篇论文得出的主要结论是，一生中工作越多，收入就越多。到目前为止，很明显。但令人惊讶的是，这个解释比你想象的要复杂得多)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述工作时间与收入之间的关系，所以C项“工作时间与收入的关系”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever watched a group of fireflies (萤火虫) lighting up the night sky? At first glance, their lights may appear chaotic, but if you watch closely, you’ll find something remarkable begins to unfold. ___16___. They seem to be shining randomly at first. When they gather in a group, these individual patterns start to synchronize (同步). It’s like they are having a silent conversation, adjusting their flashes to match those around them. Once this synchronization is achieved, the result is a beautiful and coordinated display of light. ___17___, which has inspired people to think about teamwork and creativity. Douglas, in her book The Firefly Effect, finds similarities between this natural phenomenon and human teams. She suggests that just like fireflies, team members each bring their own unique talents and ideas to the group. ___18___. These individual contributions can synchronize to create something much greater than the sum of their parts. The key is to encourage each team member to shine, just like a firefly, and to be open to the ideas and flashes of insight from others. For example, in a school project team, one student is great at research, another at writing, and a third at presenting. If they each work in isolation, the project might be good, but not great. However, if they share their findings, collaborate on the writing, and practice the presentation together, their individual strengths can combine to create an outstanding project. ___19___. So, when you see fireflies lighting up the night, remember that they are not just insects flashing randomly. They are a symbol of how individual efforts can come together to create something truly magical. ___20___, whether in school, sports, or the workplace. By embracing the firefly effect, we can build teams that are not only creative but also highly effective. A. This is known as the “firefly effect” B. Their flashes can be seen from miles away C. It is a lesson that can be applied to any team D. This is the power of the firefly effect in action E. They work together and communicate effectively F. Fireflies use their flashes to communicate in nature G. They rarely appear in groups and prefer to stay alone 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过描述萤火虫在夜晚同步闪烁的自然现象，引出了“萤火虫效应”这一概念，并进而阐述了这一效应在团队合作和创造力方面的启示。 【16题详解】 设空位于段首，所以应是本段的中心句，根据后文“They seem to be shining randomly at first. When they gather in a group, these individual patterns start to synchronize (同步). It’s like they are having a silent conversation, adjusting their flashes to match those around them.(它们起初似乎是随机发光的。当它们聚集在一起时，这些单独的模式开始同步。就像他们在进行无声的对话，调整自己的闪光来适应周围的人)”可知，本段讲述用闪光进行了交流，所以F项“Fireflies use their flashes to communicate in nature(萤火虫用它们的闪光在自然界中进行交流)”符合本段主题，为中心句。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Once this synchronization is achieved, the result is a beautiful and coordinated display of light.(一旦实现了这种同步，结果就是一个美丽而协调的光显示)”以及后文“which has inspired people to think about teamwork and creativity(它激发了人们对团队合作和创造力的思考)”可知，空处应是对前文的现象做出总结，并引出下文内容，所以A项“This is known as the “firefly effect”(这就是所谓的“萤火虫效应”)”是对上文的总结，并引出下文。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Douglas, in her book The Firefly Effect, finds similarities between this natural phenomenon and human teams. She suggests that just like fireflies, team members each bring their own unique talents and ideas to the group.(道格拉斯在她的书《萤火虫效应》中发现了这种自然现象和人类团队之间的相似之处。她建议，就像萤火虫一样，团队成员每个人都为团队带来自己独特的才能和想法)”以及后文“These individual contributions can synchronize to create something much greater than the sum of their parts.(这些个人的贡献可以同步创造出比各部分总和大得多的东西)”可知，E项“They work together and communicate effectively(他们一起工作，有效地沟通)”承接上文，继续讲述团队成员如何像萤火虫一样，并引出后文。故选E项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“For example, in a school project team, one student is great at research, another at writing, and a third at presenting. If they each work in isolation, the project might be good, but not great. However, if they share their findings, collaborate on the writing, and practice the presentation together, their individual strengths can combine to create an outstanding project.(例如，在一个学校项目团队中，一个学生擅长研究，另一个擅长写作，第三个擅长演讲。如果他们各自独立工作，项目可能是好的，但不是伟大的。然而，如果他们分享他们的发现，合作写作，一起练习演示，他们的个人优势可以结合起来创造一个出色的项目)”可知，D项“This is the power of the firefly effect in action(这就是萤火虫效应的作用)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“So, when you see fireflies lighting up the night, remember that they are not just insects flashing randomly. They are a symbol of how individual efforts can come together to create something truly magical.(所以，当你看到萤火虫照亮夜空时，请记住它们并不是随机闪烁的昆虫。它们象征着个人的努力可以汇聚在一起，创造出真正神奇的东西)”可知，本段在进行总结，所以C项“It is a lesson that can be applied to any team(这是一个适用于任何团队的经验)”承接上文，继续对萤火虫效应进行总结，并引出下文“whether in school, sports, or the workplace.(无论是在学校、体育运动还是工作场所)”符合文意。故选C项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 James and William were two neighbors in a small town.

The snowstorm, which had swept over the whole city throughout the night and persisted well into the morning, had transformed the roads into a terrible mess. The thick layer of snow made driving a headache. In my rush to get to the office on time, I simply didn’t have a moment to spare for clearing the driveway in the morning. As I finally pulled into my driveway, my heart sank like a stone. The car’s wheels spun (旋转) helplessly, digging deeper into the snow with each pointless attempt. It quickly became clear that I was firmly stuck in the deep snow. I tried with all my might to push the car, my feet slipping on the icy ground, but the weight of the vehicle and the resistance of the snow made it an impossible task for a single person. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I began to complain about my bad luck. Just when I was on the verge of giving up, a car pulled up beside mine. A young man with a friendly face quickly got out and, without a word, started pushing my car from the back. With his help, I managed to get the car moving after a few minutes of intense effort. Relieved, I was about to thank him and drive away when I reached for my house keys and realized they were missing. I crazily searched every comer of my car, my hands shaking with anxiety. I emptied my pockets, and even checked under the seats, but they were nowhere to be found. The thought of spending the freezing night in my car was terrifying, and a shiver ran down my back at the mere thought. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing that I was in a difficult situation, the young man came over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, he let out a shout of excitement. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Realizing that I was in a difficult situation, the young man came over. He asked what was wrong. After I tearfully explained the situation, he didn’t hesitate but immediately offered to help once more. We bent down in the snow around the car. He used his hands to dig through the thick snow, and I carefully retraced my steps from the moment I got out of the vehicle, looking for any signs of the keys. The cold wind blew harshly at our faces, making the search even more difficult. Each passing second filled me with more dread. What if I never found my keys? Suddenly, he let out a shout of excitement. “I found them!” he exclaimed, holding up my keys. I felt a rush of relief wash over me, and tears of gratitude filled my eyes. When I asked how I could possibly repay him, he simply smiled and said, “Pay it forward.” That simple act of kindness on a cold, snowy day taught me a profound lesson. In the midst of our own struggles, a small act of kindness can be a ray of hope for others. From that day forward, I made a firm promise to myself to always be ready to lend a helping hand, just as that kind stranger did for me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在经历了一天疲惫工作后，因暴雪被困在自家车道，一位年轻人帮助他推车，之后又帮他寻找丢失的家门钥匙的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“意识到我处境艰难，年轻人走了过来。”可知，第一段可描写年轻人询问情况后，与作者一起在雪中寻找钥匙，天气寒冷，作者内心越发焦虑。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，他兴奋地大叫了一声。”可知，第二段可描写年轻人找到了钥匙，作者感到如释重负并对他充满感激，年轻人让作者将这份善意传递下去，作者深受触动并决定以后也要乐于助人。 2.续写线索：被困雪中——年轻人帮忙推车——发现钥匙丢失——一起寻找钥匙——找到钥匙——作者决定传递善意。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire/question ②解释：explain/account for ③寻找：look for/search for/seek 情绪类 ①害怕：dread/fear/terror ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】After I tearfully explained the situation, he didn’t hesitate but immediately offered to help once more.（运用了after引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When I asked how I could possibly repay him, he simply smiled and said, “Pay it forward.”（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 齐鲁名校教研共同体 2024—2025学年（下）高三年级第五次联考 英语 考生注意： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Standing on the stage at my first overseas conference, I felt a mix of awe and unease. I had been invited to present my research, a milestone that was supposed to boost my confidence. Yet, as I nervously flipped (快速翻阅) through my notes, I heard a familiar whisper: What if they discover I don’t truly belong here? This feeling, known as impostor syndrome (冒名顶替综合征), had shadowed me long before this moment. It first emerged on me in high school, where I failed my final year. I didn’t value learning then, and being surrounded by classmates who had already given up and teachers who didn’t seem to care only strengthened my boredom. Changing schools and then starting university gave me a fresh chance, but I was worried I would be exposed as someone who didn’t belong. However, something changed in me at that conference. Despite my anxiety, my presentation was well-received, and the encouragement from senior researchers provided a much-needed sense of validation. Yet, the real turning point came during a session for early-career researchers. A German scientist, whose work I had cited in my own research, leaned forward and admitted, “I still feel like an impostor sometimes.” The room seemed to exhale (呼气) collectively, as if a shared burden had been lifted. We were all thinking the same thing: Wait, you feel it, too? One by one, other researchers — all individuals with decades of experience and countless publications — shared their own stories of self-doubt, revealing moments when they, too, felt unqualified or undeserving of their success. That moment reframed everything for me. Impostor syndrome, I realized, was not necessarily a mark of failure. These experts, despite their profound knowledge, were strongly aware of the vastness of what they did not know, and this awareness fueled their drive to learn and improve. If that’s what made them feel like impostors, then I was happy to be a part of that club. Now, whenever self-doubt resurfaces — whether I’m writing an article or preparing a talk — I remind myself that this feeling is not a weakness but a sign that I am pushing the boundaries of my understanding, just like those I admire. 4.

C The dogs’ names are Mars, Moon and Pluto, and you might say their cancer-sniffing (嗅) skills are out of this world. An experimental screening method that paired the dogs with AI was able to detect the odor (气味) of cancer carried on patients’ breaths. The dog-AI combination was highly accurate and sensitive, successfully spotting four types of cancer in 94 percent of cases, scientists reported recently in Scientific Reports. What’s more, the screening worked just as well detecting early-stage cancers as it did later-stage cancers, says Assaf Rabinowicz, chief technology officer at SpotitEarly, the company that developed the method. He emphasizes that early detection is crucial in that it ensures more favorable clinical outcomes for patients, thus lengthening their life. The new screening method taps dogs’ “amazing olfactory capabilities,” Rabinowicz says. Dogs and other animals can act like disease detectives, sniffing out the weak smells that serve as cancer’s odor fingerprint. For this study, Rabinowicz’s team trained Labradors to smell breath samples and sit if they sniffed breast, lung, colorectal or prostate cancer. Figuring out whether the dogs are indicating yes or no sounds simple, but consistently reading their body language can be tricky for humans. That’s where AI comes in. The researchers trained an Al model that relies on machine learning and computer vision to translate the dogs’ cues. The team partnered with medical centers to test their system on breath samples from nearly 1,400participants,261 of whom had tested positive for one of the four cancer types the dogs trained on. With the help of AI, the dog detectors picked out 245 of these cases. And they rarely called a negative sample “positive” — just 60out of 1,048 cases. SpotitEarly is planning a larger clinical trial in the United States and is aiming to report early results in 2026.The company is now working with another type of dog — Beagles — for the cancer-detecting work, partly because they’re smaller and easier to train. But Mars, Moon, Pluto and the other Labradors who worked in the study are still top dogs to the researchers, and continue to contribute to research and development, Rabinowicz says. 8. What is the key to the new cancer-detecting method? A. Getting as many odor samples as possible. B. Using advanced technology to analyze the odors. C. Exposing dogs to early-stage cancer patients. D. Combining dogs’ sense of smell with advanced technology. 9. Why is early cancer detection so important? A. It can reduce the cost of cancer treatment. B. It can improve the survival chances of cancer patients. C. It can facilitate more investment into cancer research. D. It can help hospitals to prioritize high-risk patients. 10. What role does AI play in the process? A. An interpreter. B. An inspector. C. A trainer. D. A doctor. 11. What do the figures in paragraph 5 show? A. The necessity of further clinical trials. B. The need for improvement in false positives. C. The effectiveness of the cancer screening method. D. The distribution of different types of cancer detected. D The headline conclusion from a paper published last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research is that the more you work over your lifetime, the more you earn. So far, so obvious. But the surprises are hidden in an explanation that’s more complex than you’d think. The authors use large numbers of surveys tracking individuals as far back as 1979. They find that a major determinant of total lifetime working hours is individual choice — some people just prefer to work more, while others might prioritize other activities. Going a step further, the paper finds that those who work more earn more because they master more skills over time during the extra time they work. The overlapping (叠加的) effects of different preferences for work and different levels of skill acquisition account for a huge share of overall differences in lifetime earnings, and operate independent of other factors such as the level of education or skills an individual gains before entering the labor force. In other words, income inequality is in part a matter of choice rather than unchangeable economic or social forces. The study isn’t a comprehensive overview of labor market behavior, and the authors don’t claim it is. Their survey sample examines only men who have been “highly attached” to the labor market over their full working lives, meaning working at least 520 hours per year. The conclusions might be relevant to debates about gender pay gaps — where different preferences for paid work versus working at home to raise a family often come into play — but that awaits further study. One implication is that a labor market is too complex to bear simple analyses — or heavy-handed regulation (监管). The economists note as a typical example the failure of French efforts to boost earnings by limiting the work week. Politicians always hope this will force companies to hire more workers. But such laws stop those who want to work more from doing so, and boosting their skills in the process, while not requiring those who prefer to work less to spend more time on the job. 12. How do the paper authors come to the conclusion? A. By conducting experiments. B. By analyzing previous data. C. By investigating the overlapping effects. D. By comparing the earnings of different industries. 13. What is a limitation of the study according to the text? A. It mainly examines those who work part-time. B. It fails to consider the role of individual preferences. C. It ignores the impact of education on lifetime earnings. D. It excludes women and part-time workers from the sample. 14. What can be inferred from the example of France’s attempt? A. It may prevent some people from improving their skills. B. It can effectively reduce income inequality in the long run. C. It can definitely lead to more job opportunities for workers. D. It may encourage companies to invest more in employee training. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Truth behind Gender Pay Gaps B. The Complexity of the Labor Market C. The Link between Working Hours and Eamings D. The Significance of Education in Lifetime Earnings 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever watched a group of fireflies (萤火虫) lighting up the night sky? At first glance, their lights may appear chaotic, but if you watch closely, you’ll find something remarkable begins to unfold. ___16___. They seem to be shining randomly at first. When they gather in a group, these individual patterns start to synchronize (同步). It’s like they are having a silent conversation, adjusting their flashes to match those around them. Once this synchronization is achieved, the result is a beautiful and coordinated display of light. ___17___, which has inspired people to think about teamwork and creativity. Douglas, in her book The Firefly Effect, finds similarities between this natural phenomenon and human teams. She suggests that just like fireflies, team members each bring their own unique talents and ideas to the group. ___18___. These individual contributions can synchronize to create something much greater than the sum of their parts. The key is to encourage each team member to shine, just like a firefly, and to be open to the ideas and flashes of insight from others. For example, in a school project team, one student is great at research, another at writing, and a third at presenting. If they each work in isolation, the project might be good, but not great. However, if they share their findings, collaborate on the writing, and practice the presentation together, their individual strengths can combine to create an outstanding project. ___19___. So, when you see fireflies lighting up the night, remember that they are not just insects flashing randomly. They are a symbol of how individual efforts can come together to create something truly magical. ___20___, whether in school, sports, or the workplace. By embracing the firefly effect, we can build teams that are not only creative but also highly effective. A. This is known as the “firefly effect” B. Their flashes can be seen from miles away C. It is a lesson that can be applied to any team D. This is the power of the firefly effect in action E. They work together and communicate effectively F. Fireflies use their flashes to communicate in nature G. They rarely appear in groups and prefer to stay alone 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 James and William were two neighbors in a small town.

The snowstorm, which had swept over the whole city throughout the night and persisted well into the morning, had transformed the roads into a terrible mess. The thick layer of snow made driving a headache. In my rush to get to the office on time, I simply didn’t have a moment to spare for clearing the driveway in the morning. As I finally pulled into my driveway, my heart sank like a stone. The car’s wheels spun (旋转) helplessly, digging deeper into the snow with each pointless attempt. It quickly became clear that I was firmly stuck in the deep snow. I tried with all my might to push the car, my feet slipping on the icy ground, but the weight of the vehicle and the resistance of the snow made it an impossible task for a single person. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I began to complain about my bad luck. Just when I was on the verge of giving up, a car pulled up beside mine. A young man with a friendly face quickly got out and, without a word, started pushing my car from the back. With his help, I managed to get the car moving after a few minutes of intense effort. Relieved, I was about to thank him and drive away when I reached for my house keys and realized they were missing. I crazily searched every comer of my car, my hands shaking with anxiety. I emptied my pockets, and even checked under the seats, but they were nowhere to be found. The thought of spending the freezing night in my car was terrifying, and a shiver ran down my back at the mere thought. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing that I was in a difficult situation, the young man came over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, he let out a shout of excitement. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
