And then, at the height of my low-grade desperation, I decided to ____1____ for a ballet class. “But you’re not very ____2____,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself when I tried to stretch my leg. Also, I could see how I didn’t exactly look like promising ballerina material. But I was determined to give it a try, because I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace. Although I’d expected my classes to be physically ____3____ and my leg muscles to ache, I hadn’t ____4____ that the experience in the ballet studio would bring a certain joy, and my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would ____5____ my way of being in the world. When I ____6____ about my lack of grace in the simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about ____7____. Rather, he said, it’s about ____8____ to be better. As a writer who polishes sentences all day with the hope that they will approximate the beautiful, perfect construct in her mind, this felt like the best, most valuable writing advice I’d ever received. If anything, ballet is forcing me to ____9____ my relationship with my body. Instead of noticing only the beginning of older age approaching me, I now focus on what my body is capable of, appreciate the small changes, and I’ve learned to stand with more ____10____.

She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 24. The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______.

(我的日子压力很大，当我回家时，我没有太关注你。有时我会因为你在学校成绩不够好，以及你的卧室一团糟而对你大喊大叫，但不知怎么的，今晚，我只是想让你知道你对我来说真的很重要。)”可知，在收到蓝丝带之前，他的工作压力很大，不关注儿子，而且还在孩子表现不佳时乱吼孩子，由此可推断，他对家庭责任不够重视，更专注于工作。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything.

However, recent discussions and research suggest that liberal arts education remains not only relevant but essential for addressing the complex challenges of the modern world. Liberal arts education is often defined as a multidisciplinary approach to learning. One of the key arguments in favor of liberal arts education is its role in fostering well-rounded individuals capable of navigating a rapidly changing job market. While STEM degrees often lead to higher starting salaries and more immediate job opportunities, liberal arts graduates tend to exhibit greater adaptability and versatility (多才多艺) over time. Moreover, liberal arts provide a foundation for understanding the complexities of human society and culture. In a globalized world, the ability to navigate diverse perspectives and engage with different cultures is increasingly important. The study of history, literature, and philosophy helps students develop empathy and a deeper understanding of the world around them, which is crucial in a globalized workforce where cross-cultural communication is the norm. Another significant aspect of liberal arts education is its role in fostering ethical and responsible citizens. In a world where technology can have profound impacts on society, the humanities provide a framework for understanding the ethical implications of new developments. For example, philosophers and ethicists are crucial in addressing moral questions surrounding artificial intelligence and data privacy. The integration of liberal arts and STEM education has also gained recognition in recent years. The STEAM (STEM+Arts) movement emphasizes the importance of combining technical skills with creativity, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning. By incorporating liberal arts into STEM education, students can develop a more well-rounded skill set that prepares them to address complex, real-world problems. Despite the challenges posed by the digital age, liberal arts education continues to play a vital role in shaping adaptable, ethical, and culturally competent individuals. As Jeffrey Scheuer notes, “It’s the thinking, it’s the critical thinking that I argue is the common thread, really the trunk on which all of these different disciplines grow.” 28. What does the phrase “under scrutiny” underlined in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Being widely praised and encouraged. B. Being overestimated and highly stressed. C. Facing careful examination and questioning. D. Receiving complete support without challenge. 29. What is the key advantage of liberal arts graduates compared to STEM graduates? A. More flexible and diverse capabilities, B. Specialized technical training for specific industries. C. Expertise in ethical artificial intelligence development. D. Higher starting salaries and immediate job opportunities. 30 Why does the author mention philosophers and ethicists in Paragraph 3? A. To point out their lack of technical skills. B. To support the mentioned idea specifically. C. To highlight their involvement in designing AI systems. D. To show the crucial roles of philosophy and ethics in libera arts. 31. Which of the followings would be the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Decline of Liberal Arts Education B. The Integration of Liberal Arts and STEM C. The Adaptability of Liberal Arts Graduates D. The Value of Liberal Arts in the Digital Age 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了在科技飞速发展的时代，文科教育依然具有重要价值及其多方面的优势。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在的句子“In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements and the increasing demand for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills, the value of liberal arts education is under scrutiny. (在一个以快速技术进步和对STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）技能需求不断增长为主导的时代，文科教育的价值under scrutiny。)”结合划线短语后的“However, recent discussions and research suggest that liberal arts education remains not only relevant but essential for addressing the complex challenges of the modern world.(然而，最近的讨论和研究表明，文科教育不仅仍然具有相关性，而且对于应对现代世界的复杂挑战至关重要。) ”可知，前后为转折关系，最近的讨论和研究表明文科教育仍然重要，由此可推断，前面应该是文科教育的价值面临着审视和质疑，所以划线短语的意思与“面临仔细的审视和质疑”符合逻辑。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While STEM degrees often lead to higher starting salaries and more immediate job opportunities, liberal arts graduates tend to exhibit greater adaptability and versatility (多才多艺) over time.(虽然STEM学位往往会带来更高的起薪和更直接的工作机会，但随着时间的推移，文科毕业生往往表现出更强的适应性和多才多艺。)”可知，与STEM专业毕业生相比，文科毕业生的关键优势是有更灵活和多样的能力。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Another significant aspect of liberal arts education is its role in fostering ethical and responsible citizens. In a world where technology can have profound impacts on society, the humanities provide a framework for understanding the ethical implications of new developments. For example, philosophers and ethicists are crucial in addressing moral questions surrounding artificial intelligence and data privacy.(文科教育的另一个重要方面是它在培养有道德和负责任的公民方面的作用。在一个技术可以对社会产生深远影响的世界里，人文学科为理解新发展的伦理含义提供了一个框架。例如，哲学家和伦理学家在解决围绕人工智能和数据隐私的道德问题方面至关重要。)”可知，作者提到哲学家和伦理学家是为了具体支持前文提出的观点：人文学科为理解新技术的伦理影响提供了框架，因此属于举例支持。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据首段“In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements and the increasing demand for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills, the value of liberal arts education is under scrutiny. However, recent discussions and research suggest that liberal arts education remains not only relevant but essential for addressing the complex challenges of the modern world.(在一个以快速技术进步和对 STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）技能需求不断增长为主导的时代，文科教育的价值under scrutiny。然而，最近的讨论和研究表明，文科教育不仅仍然具有相关性，而且对于应对现代世界的复杂挑战至关重要。)”可知，文章开篇指出在科技时代文科教育价值受到审视，结合下文论述的文科教育在培养全面发展的人、有道德的公民以及STEM教育融合等方面的重要作用，强调了文科教育在数字时代的价值，由此可知，标题“数字时代文科教育的价值”与本文的内容吻合，且可以概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 D Time isn’t nearly as unchangeable as it first seems. Ask any scientists and they’ll likely entertain you with incredible descriptions of a gravity’s effect on space-time (i. e. the more massive an object is, the slower time appears to travel around it). Some scientists even wonder if entire zones of the universe experience time at different rates. However, the perception of the speed at which time passes can also vary within our minds. Steve Taylor, a psychologist at Leeds Beckett University, is exploring this field in a new book called Time Expansion Experiences. Taylor’s interest in these altered temporal (时间的) moments — which he calls “time expansion experiences,” or TEEs — began when he and his wife were involved in a car crash back in 2014. “Everything went into slow motion”, Taylor describes. “I felt as though I had a lot of time to observe the whole scene and to try to regain control of the car. I was surprised by how much detail I could perceive.” In the following decade, Taylor began investigating how and why these moments of ultra-slowness appear. He analyzed 96 instances as TEEs and found that roughly half of them occurred during accidents, while others took place during sporting events or in meditation (冥想) In a new article, Taylor explained how some of the leading theories behind these time altering states don’t quite grasp the entire range of the experiences. One theory believes these moments are the result of the release of noradrenaline — basically the body’s emergency response — but this doesn’t explain the mental time expansion of people during moments of intense meditation or concentration. “Another theory is that TEEs aren’t real experiences, but illusions (幻觉) of memory. In emergency situations, our awareness becomes sharp, so that we take in more perceptions than normal,” Taylor wrote. “These perceptions become encoded in our memories, so that when we recall the emergency situation, the extra memories create the impression that time passed slowly.” However, Taylor’s findings from people who’ve experienced TEEs indicate that they were able to process thoughts and information much faster than what would be possible under normal circumstances. Instead, Taylor advocates for an idea that these events shift the human mind into an altered state of consciousness. In these moments, we step outside our normal consciousness into what Taylor calls a different “time-world.” “The sudden shock of an accident may disrupt our normal psychological processes, causing a sudden shift in consciousness”, Taylor wrote. 32. Why does the author mention a car accident? A. To stress the importance of time perception. B. To introduce Steve Taylor’s research method. C. To describe a typical time expansion experience. D. To explain the cause of Taylor’s interest in TEEs. 33. What can we learn from the leading theories behind the time altering states? A. TEEs are imaginations based on incorrect memories. B. Noradrenaline release doesn’t explain accident TEEs. C. People tend to perceive things better in emergency situations. D. TEEs relates to the flow of time between gravity and space-time. 34. According to Taylor, which of the followings is most likely to be a time expansion experience? A. A hiker recalls a mountain fall with details years later. B. A student feels time flies while playing games for hours. C. A firefighter sharply senses fire spreading during a rescue. D. A person is attending a meeting, discussing everyday tasks. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了心理学家史蒂夫・泰勒对“时间膨胀体验（TEEs）” 的研究，包括他研究的起因、对相关理论的分析以及他自己的观点。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Taylor’s interest in these altered temporal (时间的) moments — which he calls “time expansion experiences,” or TEEs — began when he and his wife were involved in a car crash back in 2014. “Everything went into slow motion”, Taylor describes. “I felt as though I had a lot of time to observe the whole scene and to try to regain control of the car. I was surprised by how much detail I could perceive.”(泰勒对这些改变时间的时刻——他称之为“时间扩张体验”——的兴趣始于2014年他和妻子遭遇车祸的时候。“一切都变成了慢动作，”泰勒说。“我觉得我好像有很多时间观察整个场景，并试图重新控制汽车。我惊讶于我能察觉到如此多的细节。”)”可知，作者提到这场车祸是为了解释泰勒对 “时间膨胀体验”产生兴趣的原因。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Another theory is that TEEs aren’t real experiences, but illusions (幻觉) of memory. In emergency situations, our awareness becomes sharp, so that we take in more perceptions than normal,” Taylor wrote. “These perceptions become encoded in our memories, so that when we recall the emergency situation, the extra memories create the impression that time passed slowly.(“另一种理论认为，时间膨胀体验不是真实的经历，而是记忆的幻觉。在紧急情况下，我们的意识变得敏锐，因此我们比平时吸收更多的感知，” 泰勒写道。“这些感知被编码在我们的记忆中，所以当我们回忆起紧急情况时，额外的记忆会给人一种时间过得很慢的印象。”)”可知，从关于时间改变状态的主流理论中我们可以了解到，人们在紧急情况下往往能更好地感知事物。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 ““Everything went into slow motion”, Taylor describes. “I felt as though I had a lot of time to observe the whole scene and to try to regain control of the car. I was surprised by how much detail I could perceive.”(“一切都变成了慢动作，”泰勒说。“我觉得我好像有很多时间观察整个场景，并试图重新控制汽车。我惊讶于我能察觉到如此多的细节。”)”以及最后一段“Instead, Taylor advocates for an idea that these events shift the human mind into an altered state of consciousness. In these moments, we step outside our normal consciousness into what Taylor calls a different “time-world.” “The sudden shock of an accident may disrupt our normal psychological processes, causing a sudden shift in consciousness”, Taylor wrote.(相反，泰勒提倡这样一种观点，即这些事件将人类的思想转变为一种改变的意识状态。在这些时刻，我们走出了我们的正常意识，进入了泰勒所说的不同的“时间世界”。泰勒写道：“意外的突然冲击可能会扰乱我们正常的心理过程，导致意识的突然转变。”)”可知，“时间膨胀体验”是指在某些特殊情况下，人们感觉时间变慢，意识状态发生改变，能感知到更多细节，所以“一名消防员在救援过程中敏锐地感觉到火势正在蔓延”描述的场景符合泰勒的“时间膨胀体验”说法。故选 C。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） The Hedgehog’s Dilemma is a concept that explores the tension between the desire for close relationships and the risk of emotional harm. Schopenhauer, a German philosopher, used the metaphor of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills(刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain. ____35____. So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? ____36____ But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. ____37____. For example, a review, which analyzed 148 studies involving 308,849 participants, found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased like hood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. ____38____ Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains chat behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. While these defenses may provide short-term protection, they can block meaningful connections if they persist. In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Yes, there are risks in exposing our true selves and emotions, but unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t come with the quills built in. ____39____ So when we learn to lower our defences for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all — the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt. A. However, modern research offers a different perspective. B. This metaphor shows the importance of adaptability in nature. C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences. D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future. E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. F. This reflects humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection. G. We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect our selves. 【答案】35. F 36. E 37. A 38. C 39. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍刺猬困境的概念，及其在生活中的体现和相关研究观点。 【35题详解】 上文“Schopenhauer, a German philosopher, used the metaphor of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain.(德国哲学家叔本华用刺猬在寒冷冬日取暖的比喻：它们挤在一起取暖，但很快就会感受到彼此刺的疼痛。它们分开，却又再次感到寒冷，最终找到一个合适的距离，既能取暖又不会疼痛。)”描述了刺猬困境的具体情况，F选项“This reflects humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection.(这反映了人类在平衡亲密关系和自我保护之间的挣扎。)”中的“This”指代上文刺猬的例子，且准确地总结出该例子所反映的人类在亲密关系和自我保护间的挣扎，承接上文，符合语境。故选F项。 【36题详解】 上文“So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives?(这就是这个理论，但在我们的日常生活中这是什么样的呢？)”引出在生活中刺猬困境的体现这一话题，下文“But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future?(但是我们应该让这些经历阻碍我们在未来放下戒备吗？)”中的“these experiences”提示上文应提及一些经历，E选项“Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships.(许多人都有过来自亲密关系的情感痛苦的经历。)”既回答了上文关于生活中刺猬困境的问题，又引出下文对这些经历影响的讨论，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 上文“But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be ‘yes’.(但我们应该让这些经历阻止我们在未来放松警惕吗？叔本华的建议可能是“是的”)”表明叔本华的观点，下文“For example, a review, which analyzed 148 studies involving 308,849 participants, found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.(例如，一项分析了148项涉及308,849名参与者的研究的综述发现，拥有强大社交关系的个体生存的可能性增加了50%。此外，国家老龄化研究所报告称，长期隔离的健康风险相当于每天抽15支烟。)”通过研究表明亲密关系的好处，与叔本华的观点相反，A选项“However, modern research offers a different perspective.(然而，现代研究提供了不同的观点。)”起到转折作用，引出下文与叔本华观点不同的现代研究内容，符合语境。故选A项。 【38题详解】 下文“Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains chat behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. While these defenses may provide short-term protection, they can block meaningful connections if they persist.(心理治疗师希拉里・桑德斯解释说，像孤立或愤怒这样的行为在童年时期可以作为生存策略。虽然这些防御机制可能提供短期保护，但如果持续下去，它们可能会阻碍有意义的联系。)”说明一些防御行为的起源和影响，C选项“Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences.(大多数防御反应源于早期经历。)”中的“defensive reactions”与下文“these defenses”相呼应，且概括了下文关于防御行为起源的内容，引出下文具体解释，符合语境。故选C项。 【39题详解】 上文“Yes, there are risks in exposing our true selves and emotions, but unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t come with the quills built in.(是的，暴露真实的自我和情感存在风险，但与刺猬不同，人类没有天生的刺。)”指出人类与刺猬的不同，下文“So when we learn to lower our defences for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all — the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt.(所以，当我们学会为可靠的人放下防备时，我们实际上有可能拥有一切——真正关系的温暖而无需害怕受伤。)”说明人类可以为可靠的人放下防备，G选项“We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves.(我们有能力选择我们信任的人，以及如何保护自己。)”承上启下，既体现了人类与刺猬的不同，即人类有选择和保护自己的能力，又引出下文为可靠的人放下防备的内容，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。 In the quiet town of Bishop Stortford, there exists a unique Victorian shop called the Poetry Pharmacy(药房). What appears to be a regular pharmacy from the outside is actually filled with books and literary gifts inside. The founder, Deborah Alma, a poet herself, set up this magical place to bring poetry closer to people, where poems are prescribed to comfort the soul. Deborah originally started doing poetry prescriptions part-time, using an old ambulance that she was driving around the country. She became known as “the emergency poet”, recommending poems to people at various events like literary festivals. After a few years, Deborah started getting tired of working outside, and she was looking for a change. “I’ve been aware of a place for sale on and off for years. I went there, and looked through the windows — you can see all these dusty shelves of an old hardware store which looked like an old pharmacy. And I said to my husband, ‘Can you imagine all my pill bottles on those shelves? We could have a poetry pharmacy here!’” Inside Deborah’s poetry pharmacy, there is a café, a library, and a few rooms — one of which gives home to Deborah’s one-on-one consultations. These consultations are designed similarly to conventional therapy session is people are asked to share their feelings and worries to get the right poems prescribed for them. “I ask what they would like to be prescribed poems for — and it may be something quite light, or it can be quite a profound thing; like grief or heartbreak or lack of self-confidence or anxiety about their future. And having listened to them, I give them the gift of a poem. These poems are all very resolved — they are all full of hope or optimism.” 40. What’s the purpose for Deborah Alma to set up the Poetry Pharmacy? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What made Deborah to have the idea of establishing the Poetry Pharmacy? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why. During the consultations, people share their feelings and worries, so that Deborah can provide conventional prescriptions for them. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What other way(s) can you think of to comfort the soul of others? (In about 40 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Deborah Alma set up the Poetry Pharmacy to bring poetry closer to people, where poems are prescribed to comfort the soul. 41. Seeing the dusty shelves of an old hardware store which looked like an old pharmacy. 42. During the consultations, people open up about their problems, so that Deborah can provide conventional prescriptions for them. According to the passage, people are asked to share their feelings and worries to get the right poems prescribed for them. So, “During the consultation, people share their feelings and worries, so that they can get the right poems for them.” 43. Listening carefully when others talk and giving sincere advice can also comfort their souls. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在毕晓普斯托福德镇的独特的诗歌药房，包括其创办目的、创办契机、店内服务等。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“The founder, Deborah Alma, a poet herself, set up this magical place to bring poetry closer to people, where poems are prescribed to comfort the soul.(创始人黛博拉・阿尔玛本人就是一位诗人，她设立这个神奇的地方是为了让诗歌更贴近人们，在这里，诗歌被当作慰藉心灵的药方)”可知，黛博拉・阿尔玛设立诗歌药房的目的是让诗歌更贴近人们，用诗歌慰藉心灵。故答案为Deborah Alma set up the Poetry Pharmacy to bring poetry closer to people, where poems are prescribed to comfort the soul. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“I went there, and looked through the windows — you can see all these dusty shelves of an old hardware store which looked like an old pharmacy. And I said to my husband, ‘Can you imagine all my pill bottles on those shelves? We could have a poetry pharmacy here!’(我去了那里，透过窗户看去 —— 你可以看到旧五金店满是灰尘的架子，看起来就像一个旧药房。然后我对我丈夫说：“你能想象那些架子上放着我所有的药瓶吗？我们可以在这里开一家诗歌药房！”)”可知，是看到旧五金店那看起来像旧药房且满是灰尘的架子，让黛博拉有了建立诗歌药房的想法。故答案为Seeing the dusty shelves of an old hardware store which looked like an old pharmacy. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“These consultations are designed similarly to conventional therapy sessions as people are asked to share their feelings and worries to get the right poems prescribed for them.(这些咨询的设计类似于传统的治疗过程，人们被要求分享他们的感受和担忧，以便得到为他们开出的合适的诗歌)”可知，黛博拉提供的是诗歌处方，而不是传统的处方。故答案为During the consultations, people share their feelings and worries, so that Deborah can provide conventional prescriptions for them. According to the passage, people are asked to share their feelings and worries to get the right poems prescribed for them. So, “During the consultation, people share their feelings and worries, so that they can get the right poems for them.” 【43题详解】 考查开放性试题。在我看来，当别人倾诉时认真倾听并给出真诚建议也能慰藉他们的心灵。故答案为Listening carefully when others talk and giving sincere advice can also comfort their souls. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你准备参加学校下周举办的校园“科技创意大赛”（Technology Innovation Competition），请给你的外国朋友Jim写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 说明举办大赛目的； 2. 介绍你的创意作品； 3. 征求改进建议。 注意：1. 词数100左右。 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, How is everything going?

A. accepted in digital form B. given to any other person C. transferred to another event D. booked without a name provided B A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 24. The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______. A. honor their good behavior in class B. pass on the act of acknowledgment C. show her appreciation for their help D. prepare for the graduation ceremony 25. What can we infer about the boss before receiving the blue ribbon? A. He was attentive but strict to his son. B. He had great skills in career planning. C. He was well-known as a creative genius. D. He prioritized work over family responsibilities. 26. On hearing his father’s words, the boy felt ______. A. relieved of long-held insecurities B. confused by the sudden attention C. indifferent to his father’s apology D. upset about being ignored before 27. The story mainly tells us that ______. A. teachers have great influences on students B. it is important to express gratitude to others C. everyone needs to be recognized and appreciated D. parents should pay more attention to their children C In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements and the increasing demand for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills, the value of liberal arts education is under scrutiny. However, recent discussions and research suggest that liberal arts education remains not only relevant but essential for addressing the complex challenges of the modern world. Liberal arts education is often defined as a multidisciplinary approach to learning. One of the key arguments in favor of liberal arts education is its role in fostering well-rounded individuals capable of navigating a rapidly changing job market. While STEM degrees often lead to higher starting salaries and more immediate job opportunities liberal arts graduates tend to exhibit greater adaptability and versatility (多才多艺) over time. Moreover, liberal arts provide a foundation for understanding the complexities of human society and culture. In a globalized world, the ability to navigate diverse perspectives and engage with different cultures is increasingly important. The study of history, literature, and philosophy helps students develop empathy and a deeper understanding of the world around them, which is crucial in a globalized workforce where cross-cultural communication is the norm. Another significant aspect of liberal arts education is its role in fostering ethical and responsible citizens. In a world where technology can have profound impacts on society, the humanities provide a framework for understanding the ethical implications of new developments. For example, philosophers and ethicists are crucial in addressing moral questions surrounding artificial intelligence and data privacy. The integration of liberal arts and STEM education has also gained recognition in recent years. The STEAM (STEM+Arts) movement emphasizes the importance of combining technical skills with creativity, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning. By incorporating liberal arts into STEM education, students can develop a more well-rounded skill set that prepares them to address complex, real-world problems. Despite the challenges posed by the digital age, liberal arts education continues to play a vital role in shaping adaptable, ethical, and culturally competent individuals. As Jeffrey Scheuer notes, “It’s the thinking, it’s the critical thinking that I argue is the common thread, really the trunk on which all of these different disciplines grow.” 28. What does the phrase “under scrutiny” underlined in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A Being widely praised and encouraged. B. Being overestimated and highly stressed. C. Facing careful examination and questioning. D. Receiving complete support without challenge. 29. What is the key advantage of liberal arts graduates compared to STEM graduates? A. More flexible and diverse capabilities, B. Specialized technical training for specific industries. C. Expertise in ethical artificial intelligence development. D. Higher starting salaries and immediate job opportunities. 30. Why does the author mention philosophers and ethicists in Paragraph 3? A. To point out their lack of technical skills. B. To support the mentioned idea specifically. C. To highlight their involvement in designing AI systems. D. To show the crucial roles of philosophy and ethics in libera arts. 31. Which of the followings would be the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Decline of Liberal Arts Education B. The Integration of Liberal Arts and STEM C. The Adaptability of Liberal Arts Graduates D. The Value of Liberal Arts in the Digital Age D Time isn’t nearly as unchangeable as it first seems. Ask any scientists and they’ll likely entertain you with incredible descriptions of a gravity’s effect on space-time (i. e. the more massive an object is, the slower time appears to travel around it). Some scientists even wonder if entire zones of the universe experience time at different rates. However, the perception of the speed at which time passes can also vary within our minds. Steve Taylor, a psychologist at Leeds Beckett University, is exploring this field in a new book called Time Expansion Experiences. Taylor’s interest in these altered temporal (时间的) moments — which he calls “time expansion experiences,” or TEEs — began when he and his wife were involved in a car crash back in 2014. “Everything went into slow motion”, Taylor describes. “I felt as though I had a lot of time to observe the whole scene and to try to regain control of the car. I was surprised by how much detail I could perceive.” In the following decade, Taylor began investigating how and why these moments of ultra-slowness appear. He analyzed 96 instances as TEEs and found that roughly half of them occurred during accidents, while others took place during sporting events or in meditation (冥想)。 In a new article, Taylor explained how some of the leading theories behind these time altering states don’t quite grasp the entire range of the experiences. One theory believes these moments are the result of the release of noradrenaline — basically the body’s emergency response — but this doesn’t explain the mental time expansion of people during moments of intense meditation or concentration. “Another theory is that TEEs aren’t real experiences, but illusions (幻觉) of memory. In emergency situations, our awareness becomes sharp, so that we take in more perceptions than normal,” Taylor wrote. “These perceptions become encoded in our memories, so that when we recall the emergency situation, the extra memories create the impression that time passed slowly.” However, Taylor’s findings from people who’ve experienced TEEs indicate that they were able to process thoughts and information much faster than what would be possible under normal circumstances. Instead, Taylor advocates for an idea that these events shift the human mind into an altered state of consciousness. In these moments, we step outside our normal consciousness into what Taylor calls a different “time-world.” “The sudden shock of an accident may disrupt our normal psychological processes, causing a sudden shift in consciousness”, Taylor wrote. 32. Why does the author mention a car accident? A. To stress the importance of time perception. B. To introduce Steve Taylor’s research method. C. To describe a typical time expansion experience. D. To explain the cause of Taylor’s interest in TEEs. 33. What can we learn from the leading theories behind the time altering states? A TEEs are imaginations based on incorrect memories. B. Noradrenaline release doesn’t explain accident TEEs. C. People tend to perceive things better in emergency situations. D. TEEs relates to the flow of time between gravity and space-time. 34. According to Taylor, which of the followings is most likely to be a time expansion experience? A. A hiker recalls a mountain fall with details years later. B. A student feels time flies while playing games for hours. C. A firefighter sharply senses fire spreading during a rescue. D. A person is attending a meeting discussing everyday tasks. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） The Hedgehog’s Dilemma is a concept that explores the tension between the desire for close relationships and the risk of emotional harm. Schopenhauer, a German philosopher, used the metaphor of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills(刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain. ____35____. So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? ____36____ But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. ____37____. For example, a review, which analyzed 148 studies involving 308,849 participants, found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased like hood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. ____38____ Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains chat behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. While these defenses may provide short-term protection, they can block meaningful connections if they persist. In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Yes, there are risks in exposing our true selves and emotions, but unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t come with the quills built in. ____39____ So when we learn to lower our defences for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all — the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt. A. However, modern research offers a different perspective. B. This metaphor shows the importance of adaptability in nature. C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences. D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future. E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. F. This reflects humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection. G. We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect our selves. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。 In the quiet town of Bishop Stortford, there exists a unique Victorian shop called the Poetry Pharmacy(药房). What appears to be a regular pharmacy from the outside is actually filled with books and literary gifts inside. The founder, Deborah Alma, a poet herself, set up this magical place to bring poetry closer to people, where poems are prescribed to comfort the soul. Deborah originally started doing poetry prescriptions part-time, using an old ambulance that she was driving around the country. She became known as “the emergency poet”, recommending poems to people at various events like literary festivals. After a few years, Deborah started getting tired of working outside, and she was looking for a change. “I’ve been aware of a place for sale on and off for years. I went there, and looked through the windows — you can see all these dusty shelves of an old hardware store which looked like an old pharmacy. And I said to my husband, ‘Can you imagine all my pill bottles on those shelves? We could have a poetry pharmacy here!’” Inside Deborah’s poetry pharmacy, there is a café, a library, and a few rooms — one of which gives home to Deborah’s one-on-one consultations. These consultations are designed similarly to conventional therapy session is people are asked to share their feelings and worries to get the right poems prescribed for them. “I ask what they would like to be prescribed poems for — and it may be something quite light, or it can be quite a profound thing; like grief or heartbreak or lack of self-confidence or anxiety about their future. And having listened to them, I give them the gift of a poem. These poems are all very resolved — they are all full of hope or optimism.” 40.
