“Are you okay?” My brother Matthew asked from the driver’s seat as we hung upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. Off-roading driving adventure on 85,000 acres of hills of sand in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship.
When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl!” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in playing tricks on me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The brother-sister relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, who used to be a bit mean to me, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected.
“Are you okay? Are you bleeding?” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, delicate.
As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in.
41. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph?
A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste.
B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship.
C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew.
D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood.

C. He was easy-going. D. He was annoying.
43. How did the author feel when hearing Matthew’s invitation?
A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Honored. D. Hesitant.
44. What was Matthew’s reaction when the author was left out of the family event?
A. He tried to find out the real reason. B. He was a little angry but said nothing.
C. He understood and accepted the fact. D. He accompanied her to dine elsewhere.
45. What did the author realize about her brother after the accident?
A. He was different from her. B. He was not physically strong.
C. He also needed protection. D. He depended much on her.

Why do some dreams seem to follow us? Maybe you’ve dreamed of flying like a bird since childhood, or recently revisited a particular place while asleep. Or perhaps a bad day at work still brings about exam nightmares, even though you’ re no longer a student.
You’re not alone. Recurring (重复发生的) dreams are surprisingly common, with research showing that up to 75 percent of adults experience at least one during their lifetime. These dreams may repeat in nearly identical form or feature recurring themes, places, or characters with different backdrops. This makes them distinct from nightmares caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD,创伤后应激障碍), which tend to focus on specific memories with little variation. Experts are still unsure why we have recurring dreams, but studies are uncovering patterns in their content and causes.
Research suggests that recurring dreams are often negative. A 2022 study by Michael Schredl found that two-thirds of adults described their recurring dreams as “negatively toned,” involving situations like being chased or failing at something. Positive recurring dreams, by contrast, often involve flying or discovering new places. The reason for the frequency of negative dreams isn’t fully understood. Schredl believes dreams blow up emotions or situations from our waking life. A small worry can become a larger fear in a dream, though the connection isn’t always clear.
Psychology offer further insight. People tend to focus more on negative thoughts and emotions. During sleep, parts of the brain associated with logic are less active, while emotional regions become more engaged, which can cloud the distinction between thoughts and feelings.
Negative recurring dreams are normal and manageable. Experts suggest techniques like imagery rehearsal therapy, where people reimagine their nightmares with positive endings, and maintaining healthy sleep habits—like keeping a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use, and avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed—can help reduce their frequency.
46. What is the key difference between recurring dreams and PTSD-related nightmares?
A. Recurring dreams follow fixed patterns and identical backgrounds.
B. Recurring dreams always feature ordinary figures or characters.
C. Recurring dreams involve varied situations or backdrops.
D. Recurring dreams focus on specific traumatic memories.
47. According to the 2022 study, Which of the following dreams is likely to happen more frequently?
A. Dreams of discovering a new cave. B. Dreams of winning a lottery.
C. Dreams of reuniting with loved ones. D. Dreams of losing a match.
48. How do emotional brain regions function during sleep?
A. They generate new insights and creative ideas.
B. They promote logical and rational decision-making.
C. They help separate thoughts from emotions more clearly.
D. They become more active and dominate over logical regions.
49. Which strategy is suggested about reducing negative recurring dreams?
A. Consuming caffeine before bed to improve sleep quality.
B. Staying up playing phone games to avoid dreaming.
C. Revising dreams positively and improve sleep habits.
D Avoiding all forms of emotional expression during the day.
50. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. Recurring dreams: causes and managements
B. How to deal with recurring dreams successfully
C. PTSD-related nightmares: causes and effects
D. How to control emotions after negative dreams
D
We often expect immediate results, but in reality, the fruits of our efforts are often delayed. After weeks or months of working your tail off and not seeing any fruits of your labor, it’s easy to feel beaten down.
Breakthrough moments are typically the result of many smaller actions that build up over time, creating the energy needed to bring about significant change. This pattern is evident everywhere. Cancer spends up to 80% of its life undetectable before it suddenly takes over the body in a matter of months. Bamboo spends the first five years barely visible above ground, using that time to develop a vast root system, before shooting up 15 meters in just six weeks.
Similarly, in the early and middle stages of any effort, there’s often a “Valley of Disappointment”. It can feel like you’ re not making progress, until you push through a critical point and unlock a new level of achievement. This is a feature of any compounding process: the most powerful results are often delayed.
People make a few small changes, fail to see noticeable results, and decide to quit. You might think, “I’ve been running every day for a month, so why can’t I see any change in my body?” But in order to make a meaningful difference, we need to keep going long enough to break through the plateau.
Complaining about not achieving success despite hard work is like complaining about an ice cube not melting after heating it from -6℃ to -1℃. Your efforts haven’t been wasted; they’ve been building up potential. Mastery requires patience.
The San Antonio Spurs, one of the most successful teams in NBA history, have a quote from social reformer Jacob Riis hanging in their locker room: “When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter striking away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing. Yet, at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it — but all that had gone before.” Patience may be bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
51. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Pouring your heart into something. B. Putting off enjoying the good result.
C. Cutting down something unnecessary. D. Getting rid of the delayed workers.
52. The author mentions the example of bamboo to ________.
A. analyse why bamboo shoots up so quickly in six weeks.
B. emphasize hidden preparation before visible growth.
C. explain how bamboo develops a root system.
D. make a comparison between bamboo and cancer.
53. What does the “Valley of Disappointment” represent in the passage?
A. A stage where results are immediately visible.
B. A place where people have to give up their goals.
C. A state when people feel fulfilled but frustrated.
D. A time when progress seems slow or non-existent.
54. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Better late than never. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Look before you leap.
55. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To criticize people who lack patience and give up easily.
B. To analyze the psychological challenges of delayed success.
C. To highlight long-term efforts before breakthroughs.
D. To describe the growth patterns of bamboo and cancer.

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was a child, my mother didn’t force me to eat everything in my dish. She said I had to try every food three times. Her reason was the first time to try it, the second time to get over the act that you had just tried it, and the third to make sure that you don’t like it. After that, if I still hated the taste, she would never make he eat it again. I think her approach is reasonable and worked almost every time — except with bananas, which I still don’t eat now.
As I grew older, I brought that simple rule into my life. As a girl, I had been afraid of the diving board at the pool. The diving board looked like a giant monster’s mouth below me. My legs shook so badly. But I had continued to make the first jump off the board. When I breathed in water, my mother jumped in to help me. Before she could even reach me. I was up and out of the pool, heading back to that diving board. I jumped off once again. More coughing followed, but I was determined to overcome this apprehension. When I got out of the pool the second time, my mom tried to cover me with a towel. Instead, I threw off the towel and kept trying. The third time there was no fear, and no water in my nose. In fact there were cheers from the others at the pool. At that point, I fell in love with the pool.
In my mid-thirties, I left a successful job that didn’t satisfy me in order to achieve my dream of being a writer. Having been refused twice, I tried for a third time. I have been happily living the life of a writer ever since.
We are all afraid of something unknown. But how can we be sure that something won’t be enjoyable unless we give it a try?

“Are you okay?” My brother Matthew asked from the driver’s seat as we hung upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. Off-roading driving adventure on 85,000 acres of hills of sand in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship.
When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl!” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in playing tricks on me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The brother-sister relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, who used to be a bit mean to me, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected.
“Are you okay? Are you bleeding?” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, delicate.
As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in.
41. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph?
A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste.
B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship.
C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew.
D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood.
42. What did the author think of Matthew in her childhood?
A. He was admiring. B. He was lonely.
C. He was easy-going. D. He was annoying.
43. How did the author feel when hearing Matthew’s invitation?
A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Honored. D. Hesitant.
44. What was Matthew’s reaction when the author was left out of the family event?
A. He tried to find out the real reason. B. He was a little angry but said nothing.
C. He understood and accepted the fact. D. He accompanied her to dine elsewhere.
45. What did the author realize about her brother after the accident?
A. He was different from her. B. He was not physically strong.
C. He also needed protection. D. He depended much on her.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. C

Why do some dreams seem to follow us? Maybe you’ve dreamed of flying like a bird since childhood, or recently revisited a particular place while asleep. Or perhaps a bad day at work still brings about exam nightmares, even though you’ re no longer a student.
You’re not alone. Recurring (重复发生的) dreams are surprisingly common, with research showing that up to 75 percent of adults experience at least one during their lifetime. These dreams may repeat in nearly identical form or feature recurring themes, places, or characters with different backdrops. This makes them distinct from nightmares caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD,创伤后应激障碍), which tend to focus on specific memories with little variation. Experts are still unsure why we have recurring dreams, but studies are uncovering patterns in their content and causes.
Research suggests that recurring dreams are often negative. A 2022 study by Michael Schredl found that two-thirds of adults described their recurring dreams as “negatively toned,” involving situations like being chased or failing at something. Positive recurring dreams, by contrast, often involve flying or discovering new places. The reason for the frequency of negative dreams isn’t fully understood. Schredl believes dreams blow up emotions or situations from our waking life. A small worry can become a larger fear in a dream, though the connection isn’t always clear.
Psychology offer further insight. People tend to focus more on negative thoughts and emotions. During sleep, parts of the brain associated with logic are less active, while emotional regions become more engaged, which can cloud the distinction between thoughts and feelings.
Negative recurring dreams are normal and manageable. Experts suggest techniques like imagery rehearsal therapy, where people reimagine their nightmares with positive endings, and maintaining healthy sleep habits—like keeping a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use, and avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed—can help reduce their frequency.
46. What is the key difference between recurring dreams and PTSD-related nightmares?
A. Recurring dreams follow fixed patterns and identical backgrounds.
B Recurring dreams always feature ordinary figures or characters.
C. Recurring dreams involve varied situations or backdrops.
D. Recurring dreams focus on specific traumatic memories.
47. According to the 2022 study, Which of the following dreams is likely to happen more frequently?
A. Dreams of discovering a new cave. B. Dreams of winning a lottery.
C Dreams of reuniting with loved ones. D. Dreams of losing a match.
48. How do emotional brain regions function during sleep?
A. They generate new insights and creative ideas.
B. They promote logical and rational decision-making.
C. They help separate thoughts from emotions more clearly.
D. They become more active and dominate over logical regions.
49. Which strategy is suggested about reducing negative recurring dreams?
A. Consuming caffeine before bed to improve sleep quality.
B. Staying up playing phone games to avoid dreaming.
C. Revising dreams positively and improve sleep habits.
D. Avoiding all forms of emotional expression during the day.
50. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. Recurring dreams: causes and managements
B. How to deal with recurring dreams successfully
C. PTSD-related nightmares: causes and effects
D. How to control emotions after negative dreams
【答案】46. C 47. D 48. D 49. C 50. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了重复性梦境的普遍性、内容特点、心理学解释及应对方法。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“These dreams may repeat in nearly identical form or feature recurring themes, places, or characters with different backdrops. This makes them distinct from nightmares caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD,创伤后应激障碍), which tend to focus on specific memories with little variation.(这些梦可能以几乎相同的形式重复出现,或者以不同背景的主题、地点或人物为特征反复出现。这使得它们与创伤后应激障碍引起的噩梦不同,后者倾向于专注于特定的记忆,几乎没有变化)”可知,反复出现的梦和创伤后应激障碍相关的噩梦之间的关键区别是反复出现的梦涉及各种情况或背景。故选C项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A 2022 study by Michael Schredl found that two-thirds of adults described their recurring dreams as “negatively toned,” involving situations like being chased or failing at something.(迈克尔·施雷德尔(Michael Schredl)在2022年进行的一项研究发现,三分之二的成年人将他们反复出现的梦描述为“负面的”,涉及被追逐或某事失败的场景)”可知,根据2022年的研究,大多数人都是“负面的”梦。所以梦见输掉一场比赛可能更频繁地发生。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“During sleep, parts of the brain associated with logic are less active, while emotional regions become more engaged, which can cloud the distinction between thoughts and feelings.(在睡眠期间,大脑中与逻辑相关的部分变得不那么活跃,而情感区域变得更加活跃,这可能会模糊思想和感觉之间的区别)”可知,睡眠时大脑的情绪区变得更加活跃,并控制了逻辑区域。故选D项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Experts suggest techniques like imagery rehearsal therapy, where people reimagine their nightmares with positive endings, and maintaining healthy sleep habits—like keeping a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use, and avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed—can help reduce their frequency.(专家建议使用意象排演疗法,让人们用积极的结局重新想象噩梦,保持健康的睡眠习惯,比如保持一致的睡眠时间表,限制看屏幕,睡前避免咖啡因或酒精,这些技术都有助于减少噩梦的频率)”可知,专家建议积极修正梦境,改善睡眠习惯,来减少消极反复出现的梦境。故选C项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“You’re not alone. Recurring (重复发生的) dreams are surprisingly common, with research showing that up to 75 percent of adults experience at least one during their lifetime.(你并不孤单。反复做梦的现象出奇地普遍,研究表明,多达75%的成年人一生中至少做过一次这样的梦)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了重复性梦境的普遍性、内容特点、心理学解释及应对方法,所以A项“反复出现的梦:原因和管理”符合本段主题。故选A项。
D
We often expect immediate results, but in reality, the fruits of our efforts are often delayed. After weeks or months of working your tail off and not seeing any fruits of your labor, it’s easy to feel beaten down.
Breakthrough moments are typically the result of many smaller actions that build up over time, creating the energy needed to bring about significant change. This pattern is evident everywhere. Cancer spends up to 80% of its life undetectable before it suddenly takes over the body in a matter of months. Bamboo spends the first five years barely visible above ground, using that time to develop a vast root system, before shooting up 15 meters in just six weeks.
Similarly, in the early and middle stages of any effort, there’s often a “Valley of Disappointment”. It can feel like you’ re not making progress, until you push through a critical point and unlock a new level of achievement. This is a feature of any compounding process: the most powerful results are often delayed.
People make a few small changes, fail to see noticeable results, and decide to quit. You might think, “I’ve been running every day for a month, so why can’t I see any change in my body?” But in order to make a meaningful difference, we need to keep going long enough to break through the plateau.
Complaining about not achieving success despite hard work is like complaining about an ice cube not melting after heating it from -6℃ to -1℃. Your efforts haven’t been wasted; they’ve been building up potential. Mastery requires patience.
The San Antonio Spurs, one of the most successful teams in NBA history, have a quote from social reformer Jacob Riis hanging in their locker room: “When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter striking away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过多个例子,探讨了成功和突破往往需要长期的努力和耐心,强调了在取得显著成果之前,人们常常会经历一段看似没有进展的时期。
【51题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文的“We often expect immediate results, but in reality, the fruits of our efforts are often delayed.(我们常常期待立竿见影的结果,但实际上,我们努力的成果往往被推迟。)”和“After weeks or months of(经过几周或几个月的)”以及下文的“not seeing any fruits of your labor, it’s easy to feel beaten down(没有看到任何劳动成果,很容易感到沮丧)”可知,让人感到沮丧的肯定是经过几周或几个月的努力工作没有任何成果,所以划线短语working your tail off的意义为“拼命工作”,与A项“Pouring your heart into something(全身心投入)”意义一致。故选A项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的句子“Breakthrough moments are typically the result of many smaller actions that build up over time, creating the energy needed to bring about significant change.(突破时刻通常是许多小的行动随着时间的推移积累起来的结果,创造出带来重大变化所需的能量。)”和“Bamboo spends the first five years barely visible above ground, using that time to develop a vast root system, before shooting up 15 meters in just six weeks.(竹子在头五年几乎看不到地上部分,利用这段时间发展庞大的根系,然后在短短六周内长高15米。)”可知,作者提到竹子的例子是为了强调在显著增长之前隐藏的准备阶段。故选B项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Similarly, in the early and middle stages of any effort, there’s often a ‘Valley of Disappointment’. It can feel like you’re not making progress, until you push through a critical point and unlock a new level of achievement.(同样,在任何努力的早期和中期阶段,通常会有一个“失望之谷”。你可能会觉得自己没有进步,直到你突破了一个临界点,解锁了一个新的成就水平。)”可知,“Valley of Disappointment”代表的是一个进展缓慢或看似毫无进展的时期。故选D项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“The San Antonio Spurs, one of the most successful teams in NBA history, have a quote from social reformer Jacob Riis hanging in their locker room: “When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter striking away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing. Yet, at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it—but all that had gone before.” Patience may be bitter, but its fruit is sweet.(圣安东尼奥马刺队是NBA历史上最成功的球队之一,他们的更衣室里挂着社会改革家雅各布·里斯的一句话:“当一切似乎都无济于事的时候,我去看一个石匠在敲他的石头,也许一百次都没有出现裂缝。”然而,在第一百零一击的时候,它就会裂成两半,我知道这不是最后一击造成的,而是之前发生的一切。”耐心可能很苦涩,但它的果实是甜蜜的。)”可知,最后一段强调了耐心的重要性,即“Rome was not Built in a Day(罗马不是一天建成的)”。故选B项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,特别是第二段的句子“Breakthrough moments are typically the result of many smaller actions that build up over time, creating the energy needed to bring about significant change.突破时刻通常是许多较小行动随着时间积累的结果,这些行动创造了带来重大变化所需的能量。)”和文中多个例子(如癌症、竹子、运动队的名言等)可知,文章的目的是强调在取得突破之前需要长期的努力。故选C项。

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was a child, my mother didn’t force me to eat everything in my dish. She said I had to try every food three times. Her reason was the first time to try it, the second time to get over the act that you had just tried it, and the third to make sure that you don’t like it. After that, if I still hated the taste, she would never make he eat it again. I think her approach is reasonable and worked almost every time — except with bananas, which I still don’t eat now.
As I grew older, I brought that simple rule into my life. As a girl, I had been afraid of the diving board at the pool. The diving board looked like a giant monster’s mouth below me. My legs shook so badly. But I had continued to make the first jump off the board. When I breathed in water, my mother jumped in to help me. Before she could even reach me. I was up and out of the pool, heading back to that diving board. I jumped off once again. More coughing followed, but I was determined to overcome this apprehension. When I got out of the pool the second time, my mom tried to cover me with a towel. Instead, I threw off the towel and kept trying. The third time there was no fear, and no water in my nose. In fact there were cheers from the others at the pool. At that point, I fell in love with the pool.
In my mid-thirties, I left a successful job that didn’t satisfy me in order to achieve my dream of being a writer. Having been refused twice, I tried for a third time. I have been happily living the life of a writer ever since.
We are all afraid of something unknown. But how can we be sure that something won’t be enjoyable unless we give it a try?
56. How did the author think of her mother’s method for trying new food? (no more than 5 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean?(1 word)
______________________________________________________________________________________
58. What was the reason of cheers after the author had tried for the third time? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
59. Why did the author give up her job? (no more than 5 words).
______________________________________________________________________________________
60. How does the author’s story inspire you? Put it in your own words. (no more than 20 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. It worked./It was practical/useful/reasonable./Her reasonable approach worked.
57. Fear./Anxiety./Worry./Nervousness.
58. That she overcame her apprehension/Her bravery and success in jumping off the diving board./Her successful jumping off the diving board./That she overcame her fear of diving./That She successfully jumped without fear./That she inspired others with her determination./That she mastered the diving board./That she overcame her fear and succeeded.
59. To achieve her dream./To realize her dream./To pursue her dream./To be a writer./Because the job was unsatisfying./Because it didn’t satisfied her.
60. Open: The author’s story inspires me to try new things/overcome my fear, as it can lead to personal growth and discovering new passions.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者个人成长过程中的几个关键经历,如童年时母亲对尝试新食物的态度、学习跳水克服恐惧的过程,以及中年时辞去稳定工作追求写作梦想的决定,传达了一个关于勇于尝试、克服恐惧和追求梦想的主题。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“She said I had to try every food three times.(她说我必须每种食物都尝试三次。)”以及“I think her approach is reasonable and worked almost every time — except with bananas, which I still don’t eat now.(我觉得她的方法很合理,而且几乎每次都很奏效——除了香蕉,我到现在仍然不吃香蕉。)”以及第二段作者跳水的例子可知,作者认为自己的妈妈尝试新食物的方法非常有效,很合理。故参考答案为It worked./It was practical/useful/ reasonable./Her reasonable approach worked.
【57题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线单词上下文“The diving board looked like a giant monster’s mouth below me. My legs shook so badly. But I had continued to make the first jump off the board. When I breathed in water, my mother jumped in to help me. Before she could even reach me. I was up and out of the pool, heading back to that diving board. I jumped off once again. More coughing followed, but I was determined to overcome this apprehension. When I got out of the pool the second time, my mom tried to cover me with a towel. Instead, I threw off the towel and kept trying.(跳水板在我看来就像一个巨大的怪物张开的嘴巴。我的腿抖得厉害。但我还是坚持从跳板上做了第一次跳水。当我呛水的时候,我妈妈跳进水里来帮我。可她还没来得及碰到我,我就已经从水里出来,回到了跳水板那里。我又一次跳了下去。接着又是一阵咳嗽,但我下定决心要克服这种……。当我第二次从游泳池里出来的时候,我妈妈试图用毛巾把我裹起来。然而,我却把毛巾扔到一边,继续尝试。)”可知,作者觉得跳水板就像一个巨大的怪物张开的嘴巴,因此双腿颤抖,非常害怕,但是作者还是做了第一次跳水。而作者第一次跳水后,又跳了第二次,并检查跳了第三次,由此可推测,划线单词的意思和“恐惧”相近。故参考答案为Fear./Anxiety./Worry./Nervousness.
【58题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第二段“The diving board looked like a giant monster’s mouth below me. My legs shook so badly. But I had continued to make the first jump off the board. When I breathed in water, my mother jumped in to help me. Before she could even reach me. I was up and out of the pool, heading back to that diving board. I jumped off once again. More coughing followed, but I was determined to overcome this apprehension. When I got out of the pool the second time, my mom tried to cover me with a towel. Instead, I threw off the towel and kept trying. The third time there was no fear, and no water in my nose. In fact there were cheers from the others at the pool.(跳水板在我看来就像一个巨大的怪物张开的嘴巴。我的腿抖得厉害。但我还是坚持从跳板上做了第一次跳水。当我呛水的时候,我妈妈跳进水里来帮我。可她还没来得及碰到我,我就已经从水里出来,回到了跳水板那里。我又一次跳了下去。接着又是一阵咳嗽,但我下定决心要克服这种恐惧。当我第二次从游泳池里出来的时候,我妈妈试图用毛巾把我裹起来。然而,我却把毛巾扔到一边,继续尝试。第三次的时候,我不再害怕,鼻子里也没有进水。事实上,游泳池里的其他人都为我欢呼起来。)”可知,作者非常害怕跳水板,但是作者运用妈妈尝试新食物的原则,坚持尝试了三次,最终战胜了恐惧,爱上了游泳池。由此可推测,第三次尝试后,大家欢呼是因为作者战胜了恐惧,从跳水板上跳了下去。故参考答案为That she overcame her apprehension/ Her bravery and success in jumping off the diving board./Her successful jumping off the diving board./That she overcame her fear of diving./That She successfully jumped without fear./That she inspired others with her determination./That she mastered the diving board./That she overcame her fear and succeeded.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“In my mid-thirties, I left a successful job that didn’t satisfy me in order to achieve my dream of being a writer.(在我三十五六岁的时候,为了实现成为一名作家的梦想,我辞去了一份虽然成功但却让我不满意的工作。)”可知,作者辞去工作是为了实现自己的作家梦。故参考答案为To achieve her dream./ To realize her dream./To pursue her dream./To be a writer./Because the job was unsatisfying./Because it didn’t satisfied her.
【60题详解】
开放题。要求考生谈谈作者的故事如何激励自己的,考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为The author’s story inspires me to try new things/ overcome my fear, as it can lead to personal growth and discovering new passions.

Good luck with your videos!

【答案】Dear Chris,
It’s exciting to hear about your video project introducing British life to Chinese students! For your next video, I recommend focusing on English holiday traditions, specifically Thanksgiving dinner customs. This topic is not only rich in cultural significance but also visually engaging, which would attract your audience.
The reason I chose this theme is that holidays are a window into a country and its value. Thanksgiving, in particular, highlights the importance of family, gratitude, and community in English culture. I’m most interested in how families gather to prepare and share a meal, the symbolic foods like turkey and pumpkin pie, and the tradition of expressing gratitude. These elements could help Chinese students understand the cultural uniqueness of British holidays and the emphasis on family bonds and appreciation.
Through this video, I hope we, Chinese students , can gain a deeper appreciation for the cultural diversity and values that shape British society. It could also spark curiosity about how different cultures celebrate and express gratitude in our own ways. Looking forward to seeing it!
Good luck with your videos!
Yours,
Li Jin
