Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C,and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The 16th-century dramatist Ben Johnson generously called Shakespeare a writer “not of an age, but for all time.” And so it has proven to be, for Shakespeare’s plays are still the most translated and most ____16____ of any playwright’s in the world. But if you ask people what accounts for Shakespeare’s ____17____ popularity, you will get a number of different answers. Some will say that he was a great storyteller, others may suggest that the ____18____ lies in the beauty of his poetry. Some scholars point out that he was born in a lively period of England’s history, a time of great national confidence and cultural activity, particularly in the theatre. ____19____, they claim, he was able to produce an extraordinary volume of work.
This last explanation seems a little____20____. A more interesting answer is put forward, although a little over-enthusiastically, by Harold Bloom in his book Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human.Bloom argues that Shakespeare gave us something in his writing that the world had not seen in ____21____ before: characters with a strong personality. These lifelike characters gave us a real insight into the human ____22____: Iago, the·trusted advisor of Othello, whose jealousy leads him to betray his honest master; Rosalind,the heroine in As You Like It, who remains true to her friends and family in spite of the danger to herself. Through the mouths of such characters, we learn truths about life that we can all ____23____. These truths are made more moving and more memorable by the way in which they are ____24____: briefly and poetically.
Shakespeare has been dead almost 400 years, but the words and saying attributed to ( 归 功 于 ) him still ____25____ the English language today. So whether you are “fashionable” or“sanctimonious”, thank Shakespeare, who probably ____26____ the terms. In fact, it is amazing just how great Shakespeare’s influence on everyday language has been. Take, for example, these phrases from Michael Macrone’s light-hearted book Brush Up Your Shakespeare.
foregone conclusion
full circle
at one fell swoop
wear my heart upon my sleeve
seen better days
a sorry sight
neither here nor there
the world is (my) oyster
Macrone is more interested in the Shakespearean language that has survived than the reasons for its ____27____. According to his research, some of these sayings are slightly different from their original meaning once taken out of the____28____ of the plays in which they first appeared. For example, “the be all and end all” is used today to mean “the most important thing”, but in Macbeth,it means “the end of the matter”.
Regardless of such technicalities, it is still remarkable that so many of Shakespeare’s words have survived the large ____29____ in language between their time and the present day. The beauty of those·words is certainly one reason, but as Johnson suggested, it is the humanity and lasting impact of their____30____ that brings them to life.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Victor Frank, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. Frank was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brand once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.
31. Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2?
A. To prove attitude changes on its own.
B. To show attitude is important to the old.
C. To show understanding attitude takes time.
D. To prove the author himself was very stubborn.
32. What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect?
A. Our attitude plays a crucial role in determining the outcomes we experience.
B. Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get.
C. Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health.
D. Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors.
33. What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了积极的态度的重要性。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact.All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, ‘Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.’ At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!(说实话,直到快30岁的时候,我才终于明白了它的全部影响。从我十几岁到成年早期,我都数不清有多少次听到这样的话:‘鲍勃,如果你能改变你的态度,你会做得更好。’那时候,我不知道什么是态度,更不知道如何改变态度!)”可推知,作者提到自己的例子是想表明理解态度的重要性需要时间。故选C。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. (简单地说,如果你用消极的方式思考,你会得到消极的结果;如果你用积极的方式思考,你就会取得积极的结果)”可知,从“因果定律”中可以得知,我们的态度在决定我们经历的结果方面起着至关重要的作用。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.(然而,也有一些人永远是赢家,过着美好的生活。他们是让事情发生的真正的推动者和动摇者。他们似乎从一个重大成就走向另一个重大成就。他们掌控着自己的生活。他们的胜利取决于选择)”和最后一段中“Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.(不要等着去体验宇宙为你准备的所有美好事物。从今天开始,改变你的态度,迎接你注定要过的丰富生活)”可知,作者认为相信好心态力量的人能掌控自己的美好生活,并呼吁读者保持积极的态度。由此推知,作者对那些人持支持的态度。故选C。

Get a head start on your field trip planning. Whether you’re ready to jump in or need to plant a seed with your colleagues, we’re here to help you take the next step for an unforgettable visit with your students.
Exploratorium field trips offer:

• BART, ferry and bus-friendly location
• Free admission for Title Ⅰ schools

Chaperones
We require at least one chaperone for every ten youths or children in your group.

Download our chaperone tips in English, Spanish, or Chinese below.
On Arrival
When you arrive, please check in with an orange-vested explainer. Your field trip will begin with the orange-vested explainer who will welcome your students, answer questions, and cover some key details. The explainer won’t stay with you throughout your visit, but explainers are available around the museum. Just look for the people in orange vests; they’re happy to talk to you.
Then they will help you explore one exhibit as a group — this is for teachers and chaperones, too, so enjoy it!

Kim accepted the vegetable with a polite bow and quickly ran back to her classmates, relieved that she had finally overcome, even if only slightly, what many South Koreans view as one of their greatest obstacles to global competitiveness: anxiety about speaking English with foreigners, particularly Westerners.
Kim was among 300 junior high school students participating in a week-long program at the newly constructed “English Village.” Located in the South Korean countryside,the complex appears as though an entire European town has been transplanted there as a mini-town,complete with its own immigration office, city hall, bookstore,cafeteria,gymnasium, a main street lined with Western-style shops, police officers, and even.a resident community of 160 native English-speaking instructors. To ensure a completely immersive English environment, all signs are exclusively in English, and the use of Korean is strictly prohibited.
During their six-day stay for the course, for a fee of 80,000 won (approximately $82), students must conduct daily activities — such as checking into a hotel, shopping, cooking classes, and producing music videos — entirely in English.Specially designated “language police”: patrol the village, imposing fines in the village’s currency or marking red dots on student passports as penalties for speaking Korean.
In recent decades, South Korea has adopted one of the most vigorous approaches in Asia toward English education. English proficiency has evolved from being simply a necessary tool for international communication to a significant indicator of social status and professional advancement. Outside the regular school curriculum, Korean parents collectively spend an estimated 10 trillion won annually on private English lessons, overseas study programs,and personal tutoring.
Despite this intensive focus, many university graduates still exhibit significant hesitation when required to engage in English conversations with native speakers. Linguists attribute this to a national education system historically oriented toward grammar drills and vocabulary memorization, often at the-expense of practical speaking skills and real-world conversational practice.

【答案】37. B 38. C 39. B 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了韩国为提升英语教育水平而建立的“英语村”项目及其成效与问题。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Kim accepted the vegetable with a polite bow and quickly ran back to her classmates, relieved that she had finally overcome, even if only slightly, what many South Koreans view as one of their greatest obstacles to global competitiveness: anxiety about speaking English with foreigners, particularly Westerners.(Kim礼貌地鞠了一躬,接过了蔬菜,然后迅速跑回了她的同学们身边。她感到如释重负,因为她终于克服了 —— 哪怕只是稍稍克服了 —— 许多韩国人认为是他们在全球竞争力方面最大的障碍之一:与外国人(尤其是西方人)说英语时的焦虑情绪。)”可知,Kim Hyo Jin的问题是她不敢用英语和西方人交谈。故选B。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To ensure a completely immersive English environment,all signs are exclusively in English, and the use of Korean is strictly prohibited. (为了确保一个完全沉浸式的英语环境,所有的标志都是英文的,严格禁止使用韩语。)”可知,“英语村”中学生必须遵守只说英语的规定。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Linguists attribute this to a national education system historically oriented toward grammar drills and vocabulary memorization, often at the-expense of practical speaking skills and real-world conversational practice. (语言学家将此归因于韩国历史上以语法练习和词汇记忆为导向的教育体系,这种体系往往以牺牲实际的口语技能和现实世界的会话练习为代价。)”可知,韩国学生在传统英语教育中通常面临的问题是缺乏练习英语口语的机会。故选B。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“Kim was among 300 junior high school students participating in a week-long program at the newly constructed “English Village.” Located in the South Korean countryside,the complex appears as though an entire European town has been transplanted there as a mini-town,complete with its own immigration office, city hall, bookstore,cafeteria,gymnasium, a main street lined with Western-style shops, police officers, and even.a resident community of 160 native English-speaking instructors. To ensure a completely immersive English environment, all signs are exclusively in English, and the use of Korean is strictly prohibited. (金是300名参加了在新建的 “英语村” 为期一周项目的初中生之一。这个建筑群位于韩国乡村,看上去仿佛一整个欧洲小镇被迁移到了这里,成了一个迷你小镇,里面有自己的移民局、市政厅、书店、自助餐厅、体育馆,还有一条主街,两旁是西式商店,有警察,甚至还有由160名以英语为母语的教师组成的常驻社区。为了确保营造一个完全沉浸式的英语环境,所有标识都只用英语,并且严格禁止使用韩语。)”可知,文章主要讲述了韩国为提升英语教育水平而建立的“英语村”项目,包括其环境、规则、效果以及传统英语教育存在的问题等,所以C选项“South Korea’s English Village Experiment (韩国的英语村实验)”最符合文章主旨,是本文的最佳标题。故选C。
Section C

Daphne du Maurier
Daphne du Maurier was born into a famous London theatrical family, but lived in Cornwall for most of her life, in a large romantic house near the sea called Menabilly. Although she never owned it, she loved living there and it was where she raised her family. There can be no doubt that Menabilly and its surroundings inspired several of her novels and short stories.
Du Maurier enjoyed early success as a writer and continued to have a wide readership throughout her career, with bestsellers such as Jamaica Inn, The House on the Strand and, of course, Rebecca.
____41____ He also adapted her short story The Birds, choosing to set it in northern California rather than in its originally wild Cornish location. Apparently, Daphne du Maurier hated this adaption.
Before writing her collection of short stories The Apple Tree, to which The Birds belonged, du Maurier had been known for her romantic fiction. She had made her mark in particular with historical novels such as Frenchman’s Creek and Jamaica Inn. However, The Birds was not inspired by the past. ____42____ Arguably, it was the starting point for an entire genre (文体) devoted to narratives about natural disaster.
Nature in du Maurier’s stories rarely has a favourable effect on humans, other than in the coming-of-age story called The Pool. This beautiful tale takes place in the middle of summer in the English countryside. By a woodland pool, a girl finds a ‘secret world’— a strange underwater place with fantastic beings. ____43____ This is nature as it is experienced by a child: magical, enchanting and unreal. With the end of childhood, her secret world is out of reach forever.
Daphne du Maurier wrote exciting stories and was highly skilled at creating suspense.____44____ Indeed; her lifetime she published more than three dozen works of fiction, history, and biography. A new edition of Don’t Look Now and Other Stories has been published by the Folio Society.
A. It seemed instead to look ahead to major environmental disasters in the near future.
B. He decides to get rid of it once and for all.
C. Alfred Hitchcock turned this wonderful tale into a memorable film of the same name.
D. Not only this, she was also a writer of fearless originality.
E. While the title story lacks the tension of The Birds, there are similarities in the treatment of nature.
F. What follows in the story reveals the truth of each character’s nature.
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. E 44. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要围绕Daphne du Maurier展开,介绍了她的生平背景、居住环境、创作生涯、代表作品以及作品特点等内容。
【41题详解】
根据空后“He also adapted her short story The Birds, choosing to set it in northern California rather than in its originally wild Cornish location. (他还改编了她的短篇小说《群鸟》,选择将故事背景设定在加利福尼亚北部,而不是原本故事中荒凉的康沃尔地区。)”可知,这里提到了有人将她的小说《群鸟》改编成其他形式。选项C“Alfred Hitchcock turned this wonderful tale into a memorable film of the same name. (阿尔弗雷德・希区柯克将这个精彩的故事改编成了一部令人难忘的同名电影。)”提到阿尔弗雷德・希区柯克将这个精彩的故事改编成了同名电影,与后文衔接紧密,且“He”指代阿尔弗雷德・希区柯克。故选C。
【42题详解】
根据上文“However, The Birds was not inspired by the past. (然而,《群鸟》的灵感并非来自过去。)”可知,《群鸟》的灵感并非来自过去。选项A“It seemed instead to look ahead to major environmental disasters in the near future. (相反,它似乎展望了不久的将来会发生的重大环境灾难。)”与上文形成转折,指出其灵感并非来自过去,而是展望了不久的将来会发生的重大环境灾难,符合逻辑,且自然引出下文“Arguably, it was the starting point for an entire genre(文体)devoted to narratives about natural disaster. (可以说,它是整个致力于讲述自然灾害故事的文学体裁的起点。)”。故选A。
【43题详解】
根据上文“This beautiful tale takes place in the middle of summer in the English countryside. By a woodland pool, a girl finds a ‘secret world’— a strange underwater place with fantastic beings. (这个美丽的故事发生在盛夏时节的英国乡村。在树林边的一个池塘旁,一个女孩发现了一个“秘密世界——一个充满奇幻生物的奇异水下世界。)”可知,上文提到了《池塘》这个故事中女孩发现的秘密世界。而空后“This is nature as it is experienced by a child: magical, enchanting and unreal. (这就是一个孩子所体验到的自然:神奇、迷人且虚幻。)”对这个故事中的自然进行了描述。选项E“While the title story lacks the tension of The Birds, there are similarities in the treatment of nature. (虽然标题故事《池塘》缺乏《鸟》的紧张感,但在对自然的处理上有相似之处。)”既承接了上文对《池塘》的描述,又与《鸟》进行了对比。故选E。
【44题详解】
根据上文“Daphne du Maurier wrote exciting stories and was highly skilled at creating suspense. (达夫妮・杜穆里埃写出了精彩刺激的故事,并且非常擅长营造悬念。)”可知,达夫妮・杜穆里埃写的故事精彩且擅长制造悬念。选项D“Not only this, she was also a writer of fearless originality. (不仅如此,她还是一位极具无畏创新精神的作家。)”进一步说明她不仅如此,还是一位具有无畏原创精神的作家,与前文构成递进关系,且与后文她一生出版了很多作品相呼应。故选D。

【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他在伊利诺伊州长大,对户外探险产生了热爱,这些经历后来为他的战争小说提供了素材。句中谓语是developed,空格处用非谓语动词,he和grow之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,作状语,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Growing。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他在伊利诺伊州长大,对户外探险产生了热爱,这些经历后来为他的战争小说提供了素材。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词是experiences,指物,因此空格处用关系代词that或which,故填that或which。
【47题详解】
考查介词短语。句意:第一次世界大战爆发时,海明威因视力不佳而被军队拒绝,自愿成为一名救护车司机。由“poor eyesight”可知,句子表示“第一次世界大战爆发时,海明威因视力不佳而被军队拒绝”,空格处意为“因为”,是介词短语due to,故填due to。
【48题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:《永别了,武器》出版于1929年,至今仍是文学作品中最动人的反战宣言之一。根据语境可知,句子表示“《永别了,武器》出版于1929年,至今仍是文学作品中最动人的反战宣言之一”,空格处用最高级most moving。故填most moving。

【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:令评论家惊讶的是海明威如何通过看似简单的对话来传达存在主义的绝望。manage to do sth.是固定短语,意为“设法做成某事”,因此空格处用不定式to convey。故填to convey。

【52题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个原则解释了为什么他的故事,用简单的语言写的,触动情感的心弦。why引导的宾语从句中谓语是strike,空格处用非谓语动词,stories和write之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填written。
【53题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:今天,当人工智能试图模仿他的风格时,我们被提醒,海明威真正的遗产不在于他写了什么,而在于他敢于留下的东西——这是有纪律的沉默的力量的证明。我们是被提醒,由Today可知,句子时态是一般现在时,因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态,主语we是复数,因此空格处是are reminded。故填are reminded。

__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He held on to his beliefs and achieved great things with determination.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、名词和形容词。分析句子可知,这里时态应用一般过去时表示过去情况。表示“他”应用he,在本句中作主语;表示“坚守”应用held on to,为固定搭配,在本句中作谓语;表示“他的信念”应用his beliefs,在本句中作介词后宾语;表示“成就了”应用achieved,在本句中作谓语;表示“大事”应用great things,在本句中作宾语;表示“带着决心”应用with determination,为介词短语作状语。故翻译为He held on to his beliefs and achieved great things with determination.

__________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句固定短语。根据所给中文提示词,“超过十亿的物种”作主语,译为over a billion species,“才不会面临”转换为“可以避免”,用情态动词can表“可以”,译为can avoid,“灭绝的风险”作宾语,译为the risk of extinction,“只有直接处理环境污染和全球变暖的问题”为状语,“只有”用only,“处理环境污染和全球变暖的问题”中“处理”用动词address,译为“by addressing environmental pollution and global warming”,“直接”用副词directly。根据句意,此处强调状语,可以把only放在句首,状语提前,用部分倒装强调,这需将情态动词放在主语前。故译为:Only by addressing environmental pollution and global warming directly can over a billion species avoid the risk of extinction.

77. By the end of his career, Isaac Newton was ________ with producing over 500 books, many of which ________ groundbreaking theories across multiple disciplines.
A. flooded; involving B. credited; introduced
C. impressed; covered D. engaged; presented
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:在其职业生涯末期,Isaac Newton被公认为著有超过500部著作,其中许多著作在多个学科领域提出了具有开创性的理论。A. flooded(使)淹没;involving使参加;B. credited认为是……的功劳,给予承认;introduced首次引入(某物);C. impressed使人印象深刻;covered覆盖;D. engaged参加,从事;presented呈现。由“producing over 500 books”可知,句子表示“Isaac Newton被公认为著有超过500部著作”,be credited with意为“被认为对某事有功”,因此第一空是credited。由“groundbreaking theories across multiple disciplines”可知,第二空所在句子表示“其中许多著作在多个学科领域提出了具有开创性的理论”,第二空意为“首次引入(某物)”。故选B。
78. Linda ________ the experiment a month ago but changed her mind at the last minute, otherwise she ________ important data by now.
A. started; would collect B. was to start; would have collected
C. would start; collected D. was to start; would be collecting
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式,时态,主谓一致和虚拟语气。句意:琳达本打算在一个月前开始这项实验,但在最后一刻改变了主意,否则她现在早就收集到重要的数据了。由“a month ago but changed her mind”可知,句子表示“琳达本打算在一个月前开始这项实验,但在最后一刻改变了主意”,第一空用不定式表打算,由changed可知,时态是一般过去时,主语Linda是单数,因此第一空是was to start;otherwise意为“否则”,第二空是含蓄虚拟条件句,空格处用“情态动词+have done”,句子表示“否则她现在早就收集到重要的数据了”,空格处的情态动词用would,因此第二空是would have collected。故选B。

Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C,and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The 16th-century dramatist Ben Johnson generously called Shakespeare a writer “not of an age, but for all time.” And so it has proven to be, for Shakespeare’s plays are still the most translated and most ____16____ of any playwright’s in the world. But if you ask people what accounts for Shakespeare’s ____17____ popularity, you will get a number of different answers. Some will say that he was a great storyteller, others may suggest that the ____18____ lies in the beauty of his poetry. Some scholars point out that he was born in a lively period of England’s history, a time of great national confidence and cultural activity, particularly in the theatre. ____19____, they claim, he was able to produce an extraordinary volume of work.
This last explanation seems a little____20____. A more interesting answer is put forward, although a little over-enthusiastically, by Harold Bloom in his book Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human.Bloom argues that Shakespeare gave us something in his writing that the world had not seen in ____21____ before: characters with a strong personality. These lifelike characters gave us a real insight into the human ____22____: Iago, the·trusted advisor of Othello, whose jealousy leads him to betray his honest master; Rosalind,the heroine in As You Like It, who remains true to her friends and family in spite of the danger to herself. Through the mouths of such characters, we learn truths about life that we can all ____23____. These truths are made more moving and more memorable by the way in which they are ____24____: briefly and poetically.
Shakespeare has been dead almost 400 years, but the words and saying attributed to ( 归 功 于 ) him still ____25____ the English language today. So whether you are “fashionable” or“sanctimonious”, thank Shakespeare, who probably ____26____ the terms. In fact, it is amazing just how great Shakespeare’s influence on everyday language has been. Take, for example, these phrases from Michael Macrone’s light-hearted book Brush Up Your Shakespeare.
foregone conclusion
full circle
at one fell swoop
wear my heart upon my sleeve
seen better days
a sorry sight
neither here nor there
the world is (my) oyster
Macrone is more interested in the Shakespearean language that has survived than the reasons for its ____27____. According to his research, some of these sayings are slightly different from their original meaning once taken out of the____28____ of the plays in which they first appeared. For example, “the be all and end all” is used today to mean “the most important thing”, but in Macbeth,it means “the end of the matter”.
Regardless of such technicalities, it is still remarkable that so many of Shakespeare’s words have survived the large ____29____ in language between their time and the present day. The beauty of those·words is certainly one reason, but as Johnson suggested, it is the humanity and lasting impact of their____30____ that brings them to life.
16. A. selected B. performed C. exchanged D. gained

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Victor Frank, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. Frank was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brand once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.
31. Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2?
A. To prove attitude changes on its own.
B. To show attitude is important to the old.
C. To show understanding attitude takes time.
D. To prove the author himself was very stubborn.
32. What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect?
A. Our attitude plays a crucial role in determining the outcomes we experience.
B. Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get.
C. Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health.
D. Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors.
33. What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
(B)
Get a head start on your field trip planning. Whether you’re ready to jump in or need to plant a seed with your colleagues, we’re here to help you take the next step for an unforgettable visit with your students.

Chaperones
We require at least one chaperone for every ten youths or children in your group.

Download our chaperone tips in English, Spanish, or Chinese below.
On Arrival
When you arrive, please check in with an orange-vested explainer. Your field trip will begin with the orange-vested explainer who will welcome your students, answer questions, and cover some key details. The explainer won’t stay with you throughout your visit, but explainers are available around the museum. Just look for the people in orange vests; they’re happy to talk to you.
Then they will help you explore one exhibit as a group — this is for teachers and chaperones, too, so enjoy it!

(C)
Kim accepted the vegetable with a polite bow and quickly ran back to her classmates, relieved that she had finally overcome, even if only slightly, what many South Koreans view as one of their greatest obstacles to global competitiveness: anxiety about speaking English with foreigners, particularly Westerners.
Kim was among 300 junior high school students participating in a week-long program at the newly constructed “English Village.” Located in the South Korean countryside,the complex appears as though an entire European town has been transplanted there as a mini-town,complete with its own immigration office, city hall, bookstore,cafeteria,gymnasium, a main street lined with Western-style shops, police officers, and even.a resident community of 160 native English-speaking instructors. To ensure a completely immersive English environment, all signs are exclusively in English, and the use of Korean is strictly prohibited.
During their six-day stay for the course, for a fee of 80,000 won (approximately $82), students must conduct daily activities — such as checking into a hotel, shopping, cooking classes, and producing music videos — entirely in English.Specially designated “language police”: patrol the village, imposing fines in the village’s currency or marking red dots on student passports as penalties for speaking Korean.
In recent decades, South Korea has adopted one of the most vigorous approaches in Asia toward English education. English proficiency has evolved from being simply a necessary tool for international communication to a significant indicator of social status and professional advancement. Outside the regular school curriculum, Korean parents collectively spend an estimated 10 trillion won annually on private English lessons, overseas study programs,and personal tutoring.
Despite this intensive focus, many university graduates still exhibit significant hesitation when required to engage in English conversations with native speakers. Linguists attribute this to a national education system historically oriented toward grammar drills and vocabulary memorization, often at the-expense of practical speaking skills and real-world conversational practice.
At Korea University in Seoul, 30 percent of all classes are now conducted in English. In today’s South Korea,fluency in English is no longer just an academic asset — it has become a key factor in determining one’s social and professional status.
Today, at Korea University in Seoul,around 30 percent of all courses are conducted in English, underscoring how fluency in the language is no longer merely academic but increasingly essential for defining one’s social standing and professional opportunities in South Korea.
37. What was Kim Hyo Jin’s problem?
A. She had difficulties in understanding English grammar rules.
B. She dared not talk with westerners in English.
C. She was afraid of looking at the English teacher.
D. She experienced discomfort from being separated from classmates.
38. Which of the following accurately describes the “English Villge”?
A It is built to resemble an actual European town.
B. It houses 460 students simultaneously each week
C Students must obey the English-only rule.
D. All signs are presented in both English and Korean.
39. What problem do Korean students typically face in traditional English education?
A. Limited exposure to English vocabulary and grammar.
B. Insufficient opportunities to practice spoken English.
C. Lack of qualified native English-speaking teachers.
D. Excessive emphasis on conversational fluency.
40. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Let’s Read in English
B. English as a Global Language
C. South Korea’s English Village Experiment
D. The Changing Role of English in South Korea
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Daphne du Maurier
Daphne du Maurier was born into a famous London theatrical family, but lived in Cornwall for most of her life, in a large romantic house near the sea called Menabilly. Although she never owned it, she loved living there and it was where she raised her family. There can be no doubt that Menabilly and its surroundings inspired several of her novels and short stories.
Du Maurier enjoyed early success as a writer and continued to have a wide readership throughout her career, with bestsellers such as Jamaica Inn, The House on the Strand and, of course, Rebecca.
____41____ He also adapted her short story The Birds, choosing to set it in northern California rather than in its originally wild Cornish location. Apparently, Daphne du Maurier hated this adaption.
Before writing her collection of short stories The Apple Tree, to which The Birds belonged, du Maurier had been known for her romantic fiction. She had made her mark in particular with historical novels such as Frenchman’s Creek and Jamaica Inn. However, The Birds was not inspired by the past. ____42____ Arguably, it was the starting point for an entire genre (文体) devoted to narratives about natural disaster.
Nature in du Maurier’s stories rarely has a favourable effect on humans, other than in the coming-of-age story called The Pool. This beautiful tale takes place in the middle of summer in the English countryside. By a woodland pool, a girl finds a ‘secret world’— a strange underwater place with fantastic beings. ____43____ This is nature as it is experienced by a child: magical, enchanting and unreal. With the end of childhood, her secret world is out of reach forever.
Daphne du Maurier wrote exciting stories and was highly skilled at creating suspense.____44____ Indeed; her lifetime she published more than three dozen works of fiction, history, and biography. A new edition of Don’t Look Now and Other Stories has been published by the Folio Society.
A. It seemed instead to look ahead to major environmental disasters in the near future.
B. He decides to get rid of it once and for all.
C. Alfred Hitchcock turned this wonderful tale into a memorable film of the same name.
D. Not only this, she was also a writer of fearless originality.
E. While the title story lacks the tension of The Birds, there are similarities in the treatment of nature.
F. What follows in the story reveals the truth of each character’s nature.
V.Grammar
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Hemingway’s Art of Omission (省略)
Ernest Hemingway, celebrated for his plain prose, believed that profound truths hide beneath simplicity. ____45____ (grow) up in Illinois, he developed a love for outdoor adventures — experiences ____46____ later provided raw material for his war novels.
When World War I broke out, Hemingway, rejected by the army____47____ poor eyesight, volunteered as an ambulance driver. This decision marked the beginning of his lifelong fascination with exploring human courage in extreme conditions. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, remains one of literature’s ____48____ (moving) anti-war statements.
Central to his writing was the “iceberg theory” — the idea____49____ omitting unnecessary details allows readers to perceive deeper meanings. In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago’s battle with the marlin becomes a universal metaphor for perseverance. What astonished critics was how Hemingway managed ____50____ (convey) existential despair through deceptively simple dialogues.
Hemingway’s personal life, however, was anything but peaceful. Married four times, he struggled with depression, yet his characters, ____51____ often faced hardship with steady determination, showed great strength and bravery.
The writer once compared crafting fiction to bullfighting: “It’s not about describing every drop of blood, but making readers feel the horn’s shadow.” This principle explains why his stories, ____52____ (write) in simple language, strike emotional chords.
Today, as AI attempts to imitate his style, we ____53____ (remind) that Hemingway’s true legacy lies not in what he wrote, _____54_____ in what he dared to leave unsaid — a testament to the power of disciplined silence.
