Nevertheless I find myself getting out of bed and getting dressed. A car horn sounds as I’m putting on a thick coat and wrapping a scarf around me. I grab a hat and join Jim in his car. He doesn’t seem to mind it’s cold and dark. In fact, he’s smiling. “You’re going to love this,” he says as we drive off to the nearest park. I’m not so sure. At any opportunity Jim will be watching quietly, and sometimes excitedly, through his telescope at a bird. Don’t get me wrong. I like birds, but I just don’t get as crazy about them as Jim. Recently, when he found out that I had never heard the dawn chorus, he insisted that we meet at this unearthly hour and head for the local park. So here we are. Luckily Jim has brought hot coffee and a warm carpet to sit on. After ten shivering minutes there is a very faint light over the eastern side of the park, a suggestion of the day ahead. “Listen,” whispers Jim. I listen, nothing. Then clearly and loudly a bird starts singing. “That’s the robin. He’s usually the first.” After a few seconds another bird joins in “A blackbird” and then another “A bluebird”. It’s amazing. Twenty minutes later the whole park is alive with the chorus, calling, singing of birds! And yes, it’s wonderful! The noise is incredible. The lighter the sky becomes, the louder the birds sing, an incredible birds’ concert. “Wow, so are they singing because they’re happy?” I ask in disbelief. “Not really,” Jim laughs, “in fact they’re hungry but they need to do two things. One is to defend their territory and the other is to find a female — by singing they can achieve both.” Jim sees my puzzled face and explains. We listen together for a while and then slowly but surely, as the sun emerges above the trees, the birds stop singing. “Now it’s light enough to find food, and that’s the end of the show today.” 24. What is the author’s first attitude to the early outing? A. Cautious. B. Unwilling. C. Passionate. D. Indifferent. 25. What makes the author involved in the activity? A. Jim’s insistence on it. B. Jim’s enthusiasm on birds. C. The author’s interest in chorus. D. The author’s curiosity about birds. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A The singing skills of birds. B. The abundant diversity of birds. C. Various tunes of the “dawn chorus”. D. Lively scenes of the “dawn chorus”. 27. Why do birds sing at dawn according to Jim? A. To extend welcome to the sunrise. B. To fight fiercely for early worms. C. To guard the land and attract mates. D. To show off their beautiful voices. C What comes to mind when you hear the term “classical music”? For some, it’s just relaxing background music; for others, it touches something deep within their hearts. In fact, classical music is full of layers and surprises, so there are countless ways to enjoy it. As a music teacher, I encourage everyone to try “conscious listening” — paying full attention to uncover the fun and creativity hidden in the music. The first step to a conscious listening experience is learning mindfulness: being fully attentive in the moment. Mindfulness is more than letting the sound wash over us; it’s about opening up to the big picture with a nonjudgmental mind, which in the long term enhances our capacity for complex concepts and problem-solving, leading to better judgment and decisions. Finding mindfulness in daily life is not always easy. An audience member whispering or flipping pages from a booklet during a live performance can throw the musicians off and frustrate others. Noise pollution and social media also create disturbance to our listening powers that can threaten our health, gradually increasing our anxiety and emotional disconnection. Breathwork is one of the most common methods of developing mindfulness. A better way to ease in is to first engage emotionally with rich music. Then, allow the flow of energy to lead to tension and release, creating expectation and then fulfilling it, naturally causing inhales (吸气) and exhales after multiple listens. This is exactly what listening to musical harmony (和声) does. Research shows that music pleasure emerges from the interaction between our expectation of upcoming sound through our reward system and the actual pleasing sound itself. Forget easygoing simple background music. Try following the multiple voices in J. S. Bach’s compositions that inspire mental calm and clarity through their interactions. Or sense the emotional tension and release patterns in the harmonies of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Classical music demands a higher level of awareness and offers richer rewards. Then, the surrounding noise melts away. Listening to music can feel like having a companion on a journey who is guiding you through each moment of mindfulness. It is easier to become mindful when focusing on the flow of the music instead of seeking absolute quiet. 28. How does long-term mindfulness practice benefit listeners? A. By enhancing relaxation effects. B. By improving social interaction. C. By increasing musical appreciation. D. By strengthening advanced reasoning skills. 29. What major challenge to mindful listening is highlighted in paragraph 3? A. A critic mentality about music. B. The capacity for complex concepts. C. Performers inappropriate behaviors. D. Distractions from noise and technology. 30. Why does the author recommend Bach and Rachmaninoff’s works? A. They are universally considered easygoing music. B. Their works are the most accessible for beginners. C. They represent the most technically demanding pieces. D. Their compositions best demonstrate emotional patterns. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To enable music listeners to engage deeply. B. To highlight the advantages of mindfulness. C. To convey personal views on classical music. D. To introduce a new method for concentration. D In today’s interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has emerged as a vital skill for encouraging international cooperation and social harmony. Britain, with its centuries-old history of absorbing diverse influences and its current multicultural landscape, serves as an ideal example of how tradition and modernity can coexist to bridge cultural gaps. The roots of British cultural adaptability trace back to ancient times. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian’s Wall-a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribe’s but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges. Today, this legacy of blending old and new remains evident. For instance, the British Parliament maintains strict dress codes requiring formal suits and robes during sessions, symbolizing respect for tradition. Meanwhile, modern Britain embraced literary festivals and experimental theater productions, reflecting its dynamic engagement with contemporary artistic expression. However, dealing with cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prefer building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68% of cross-Atlantic negotiations (谈判) face delays because of these contrasting styles. Americans may regard British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overly focused only on business deals. Language differences further test cultural sensitivity. A simple phrase like “I’ll consider it” in British English often means a polite refusal, whereas Americans might take it literally as openness to further discussion. Even gestures differ: maintaining eye contact is seen as confident in the U.S. but may be viewed as rude in some British contexts. To address these challenges educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as “Global Communication Strategies,” where students role-play negotiation scene’s and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy (共鸣), active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences. As globalization continued to erase borders, mastering these skills becomes not just beneficial but essential for building a more inclusive world. 32. What can be known about the purpose of the Romans building Hadrian’s Wall? A. To manage conflicts and control area. B. To display advanced architectural skills. C. To establish trade routed with Celtic tribes. D. To mark the southern border of the Roman Empire. 33. What can be inferred about British and American negotiation style from Paragraph 3? A. Americans prefer indirect communication. B. British negotiators focus on short-term gains. C. Their differences may lead to misunderstandings. D. They both value efficiency over relationship-building. 34. What does the underlined word “impersonal” mean in the context of American negotiators? A. Rude and forceful. B. Distant and formal. C. Casual and humorous. D. Friendly and emotional. 35. What might the author discuss next regarding cross-cultural communication training? A. The history of Roman education systems. B. Specific methods used in intercultural courses. C. What cultural misunderstandings cost the economy. D. How modern technology replaces traditional teaching. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your culture is a huge part of who you are and the way you see the world.

It’s 4:30 in the morning, pitch black and freezing cold. Nevertheless I find myself getting out of bed and getting dressed. A car horn sounds as I’m putting on a thick coat and wrapping a scarf around me. I grab a hat and join Jim in his car. He doesn’t seem to mind it’s cold and dark. In fact, he’s smiling. “You’re going to love this,” he says as we drive off to the nearest park. I’m not so sure. At any opportunity Jim will be watching quietly, and sometimes excitedly, through his telescope at a bird. Don’t get me wrong. I like birds, but I just don’t get as crazy about them as Jim. Recently, when he found out that I had never heard the dawn chorus, he insisted that we meet at this unearthly hour and head for the local park. So here we are. Luckily Jim has brought hot coffee and a warm carpet to sit on. After ten shivering minutes there is a very faint light over the eastern side of the park, a suggestion of the day ahead. “Listen,” whispers Jim. I listen, nothing. Then clearly and loudly a bird starts singing. “That’s the robin. He’s usually the first.” After a few seconds another bird joins in “A blackbird” and then another “A bluebird”. It’s amazing. Twenty minutes later the whole park is alive with the chorus, calling, singing of birds! And yes, it’s wonderful! The noise is incredible. The lighter the sky becomes, the louder the birds sing, an incredible birds’ concert. “Wow, so are they singing because they’re happy?” I ask in disbelief. “Not really,” Jim laughs, “in fact they’re hungry but they need to do two things. One is to defend their territory and the other is to find a female — by singing they can achieve both.” Jim sees my puzzled face and explains. We listen together for a while and then slowly but surely, as the sun emerges above the trees, the birds stop singing. “Now it’s light enough to find food, and that’s the end of the show today.” 24. What is the author’s first attitude to the early outing? A. Cautious. B. Unwilling. C. Passionate. D. Indifferent. 25. What makes the author involved in the activity? A. Jim’s insistence on it. B. Jim’s enthusiasm on birds. C. The author’s interest in chorus. D. The author’s curiosity about birds. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The singing skills of birds. B. The abundant diversity of birds. C. Various tunes of the “dawn chorus”. D. Lively scenes of the “dawn chorus”. 27. Why do birds sing at dawn according to Jim? A. To extend welcome to the sunrise. B. To fight fiercely for early worms. C. To guard the land and attract mates. D. To show off their beautiful voices. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在清晨被朋友Jim拉去公园听“黎明合唱”的经历。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I can’t believe I’m doing this! It’s 4:30 in the morning, pitch black and freezing cold. Nevertheless I find myself getting out of bed and getting dressed.(我真不敢相信我在做这个！现在是早上4:30，天漆黑一片，冷得要命。尽管如此，我还是发现自己起床穿好了衣服)”以及“I’m not so sure.(我不太确定)”可知，作者一开始对这次早起出游的态度是不情愿的。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recently, when he found out that I had never heard the dawn chorus, he insisted that we meet at this unearthly hour and head for the local park.(最近，当他发现我从未听过“黎明合唱”时，他坚持要我在这个非同寻常的时间见面，然后去当地的公园)”可知，是Jim的坚持让作者参与了这次活动。故选A。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容，特别是“Twenty minutes later the whole park is alive with the chorus, calling, singing of birds!(二十分钟后，整个公园都充满了鸟儿的歌声和叫声！)”以及“The lighter the sky becomes, the louder the birds sing, an incredible birds’ concert.(天空越亮，鸟儿唱得越响，这是一场令人难以置信的鸟儿音乐会)”可知，第四段主要描述了“黎明合唱”的生动场景。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“in fact they’re hungry but they need to do two things. One is to defend their territory and the other is to find a female — by singing they can achieve both.(事实上它们很饿，但它们需要做两件事。一是保卫自己的领地，二是找一只雌鸟——通过唱歌，它们可以同时实现这两个目标)”可知，根据Jim的说法，鸟儿在黎明时唱歌是为了保卫领地和吸引配偶。故选C。 C What comes to mind when you hear the term “classical music”? For some, it’s just relaxing background music; for others, it touches something deep within their hearts. In fact, classical music is full of layers and surprises, so there are countless ways to enjoy it. As a music teacher, I encourage everyone to try “conscious listening” — paying full attention to uncover the fun and creativity hidden in the music. The first step to a conscious listening experience is learning mindfulness: being fully attentive in the moment. Mindfulness is more than letting the sound wash over us; it’s about opening up to the big picture with a nonjudgmental mind, which in the long term enhances our capacity for complex concepts and problem-solving, leading to better judgment and decisions. Finding mindfulness in daily life is not always easy. An audience member whispering or flipping pages from a booklet during a live performance can throw the musicians off and frustrate others. Noise pollution and social media also create disturbance to our listening powers that can threaten our health, gradually increasing our anxiety and emotional disconnection. Breathwork is one of the most common methods of developing mindfulness. A better way to ease in is to first engage emotionally with rich music. Then, allow the flow of energy to lead to tension and release, creating expectation and then fulfilling it, naturally causing inhales (吸气) and exhales after multiple listens. This is exactly what listening to musical harmony (和声) does. Research shows that music pleasure emerges from the interaction between our expectation of upcoming sound through our reward system and the actual pleasing sound itself. Forget easygoing simple background music. Try following the multiple voices in J. S. Bach’s compositions that inspire mental calm and clarity through their interactions. Or sense the emotional tension and release patterns in the harmonies of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Classical music demands a higher level of awareness and offers richer rewards. Then, the surrounding noise melts away. Listening to music can feel like having a companion on a journey who is guiding you through each moment of mindfulness. It is easier to become mindful when focusing on the flow of the music instead of seeking absolute quiet. 28. How does long-term mindfulness practice benefit listeners? A. By enhancing relaxation effects. B. By improving social interaction. C. By increasing musical appreciation. D. By strengthening advanced reasoning skills. 29. What major challenge to mindful listening is highlighted in paragraph 3? A. A critic mentality about music. B. The capacity for complex concepts. C. Performers inappropriate behaviors. D. Distractions from noise and technology. 30. Why does the author recommend Bach and Rachmaninoff’s works? A. They are universally considered easygoing music. B. Their works are the most accessible for beginners. C. They represent the most technically demanding pieces. D. Their compositions best demonstrate emotional patterns. 31 What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To enable music listeners to engage deeply. B. To highlight the advantages of mindfulness. C. To convey personal views on classical music. D. To introduce a new method for concentration. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过“有意识的聆听”来深入体验古典音乐的魅力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mindfulness is more than letting the sound wash over us; it’s about opening up to the big picture with a nonjudgmental mind, which in the long term enhances our capacity for complex concepts and problem-solving, leading to better judgment and decisions.(正念不仅仅是让声音冲刷我们；它是关于以一种不评判的心态去打开全局，从长远来看，它能增强我们处理复杂概念和解决问题的能力，从而带来更好的判断和决策)”可知，长期的正念练习能增强听众的高级推理能力。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Noise pollution and social media also create disturbance to our listening powers that can threaten our health, gradually increasing our anxiety and emotional disconnection.(噪音污染和社交媒体也会对我们的听力造成干扰，从而威胁我们的健康，逐渐增加我们的焦虑和情感隔阂)”可知，第三段强调了噪音和技术对专注聆听的干扰这一主要挑战。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Try following the multiple voices in J. S. Bach’s compositions that inspire mental calm and clarity through their interactions. Or sense the emotional tension and release patterns in the harmonies of Sergei Rachmaninoff.(试着跟随巴赫作品中的多个声部，它们通过相互作用激发心灵的平静和清晰。或者感受谢尔盖·拉赫玛尼诺夫和声中的情感张力和释放模式)”可知，作者推荐巴赫和拉赫玛尼诺夫的作品是因为他们的作品最能体现情感模式。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As a music teacher, I encourage everyone to try “conscious listening” — paying full attention to uncover the fun and creativity hidden in the music.(作为一名音乐教师，我鼓励每个人都尝试“有意识的聆听”——全神贯注地去发现音乐中隐藏的乐趣和创造力)”以及下文对“有意识的聆听”的介绍可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是让音乐听众能够深入参与。故选A。 D In today’s interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has emerged as a vital skill for encouraging international cooperation and social harmony. Britain, with its centuries-old history of absorbing diverse influences and its current multicultural landscape, serves as an ideal example of how tradition and modernity can coexist to bridge cultural gaps. The roots of British cultural adaptability trace back to ancient times. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian’s Wall-a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribe’s but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges. Today, this legacy of blending old and new remains evident. For instance, the British Parliament maintains strict dress codes requiring formal suits and robes during sessions, symbolizing respect for tradition. Meanwhile, modern Britain embraced literary festivals and experimental theater productions, reflecting its dynamic engagement with contemporary artistic expression. However, dealing with cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prefer building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68% of cross-Atlantic negotiations (谈判) face delays because of these contrasting styles. Americans may regard British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overly focused only on business deals. Language differences further test cultural sensitivity. A simple phrase like “I’ll consider it” in British English often means a polite refusal, whereas Americans might take it literally as openness to further discussion. Even gestures differ: maintaining eye contact is seen as confident in the U.S. but may be viewed as rude in some British contexts. To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as “Global Communication Strategies,” where students role-play negotiation scene’s and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy (共鸣), active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences. As globalization continued to erase borders, mastering these skills becomes not just beneficial but essential for building a more inclusive world. 32. What can be known about the purpose of the Romans building Hadrian’s Wall? A. To manage conflicts and control area. B. To display advanced architectural skills. C. To establish trade routed with Celtic tribes. D. To mark the southern border of the Roman Empire. 33. What can be inferred about British and American negotiation style from Paragraph 3? A. Americans prefer indirect communication. B. British negotiators focus on short-term gains. C. Their differences may lead to misunderstandings. D. They both value efficiency over relationship-building. 34. What does the underlined word “impersonal” mean in the context of American negotiators? A. Rude and forceful. B. Distant and formal. C. Casual and humorous. D. Friendly and emotional. 35. What might the author discuss next regarding cross-cultural communication training? A. The history of Roman education systems. B. Specific methods used in intercultural courses. C. What cultural misunderstandings cost the economy. D. How modern technology replaces traditional teaching. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国文化适应性的根源，英美谈判风格差异及语言和手势的文化差异，并提及了跨文化交流培训的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian’s Wall-a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribe’s but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges.(公元前55年，罗马人入侵英国时，他们不仅建立了管理体系，还修建了道路和哈德良长城等公共设施——哈德良长城是一个巨大的防御工事，标志着罗马帝国北部的边界。这些创新不仅管理了与凯尔特部落的冲突，还为未来的文化交流奠定了基础)”可知，罗马人建造哈德良长城的目的是管理冲突和控制地区。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68% of cross-Atlantic negotiations (谈判) face delays because of these contrasting styles. Americans may regard British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overly focused only on business deals.(伦敦商学院(2022年)的研究显示，68%的跨大西洋谈判因为这些截然不同的风格而面临延迟。美国人可能认为英国人的礼貌是优柔寡断，而英国人则认为美国人的直接是不近人情，过于专注于商业交易)”可推知，英国人和美国人的谈判风格差异可能导致误解。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Americans may regard British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overly focused only on business deals. (美国人可能会认为英国人的礼貌是优柔寡断，而英国人则认为美国人的直率是impersonal，而且过于只关注商业交易)”以及上下文语境可知，这里是在对比英美谈判风格的差异，故画线词意思是“不近人情的，冷漠的”。A. Rude and forceful.粗鲁的和有力的；B. Distant and formal.冷漠的和正式的；C. Casual and humorous.随意的和幽默的；D. Friendly and emotional.友好的和情绪化的。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as “Global Communication Strategies,” where students role-play negotiation scene’s and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy (共鸣), active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences.(为了应对这些挑战，教育机构发挥着关键作用。牛津大学和剑桥大学等高校现在开设了“全球沟通策略”等课程，学生们在其中扮演谈判场景，分析跨国公司的案例研究。这种培训强调同理心、积极倾听，以及根据不同的受众调整沟通方式)”可推知，作者接下来可能会讨论跨文化交流培训中使用的具体方法。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your culture is a huge part of who you are and the way you see the world.
