Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be,the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently (流利地) and understand the language clearly as well. Tell Me More This software is widely used in U. S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. Talk Now! If you are looking for a cheaper language learning software, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good software for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities (缺乏互动性活动) for users so it does not result in fluency. Instant Immersion This software provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended (推荐) and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. Kid Speak This is a foreign language translation software that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $30. So, it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now! This software is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos. 36. In learning a language, . A. different people have different purposes B. talking with the natives is very necessary C. understanding foreign cultures is necessary D. using software is the most effective way 37. Users of Talk Now will have difficulty improving their fluency because . A. it doesn’t focus on grammar B. it doesn’t offer interactive activities C. it costs the users very little money D. its users are usually small kids 38. The author wrote this passage to . A. introduce some language learning software to us B. tell us the importance of learning a foreign language C. tell us the advantages and disadvantages of some software D. encourage us to use software in learning foreign languages 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文介绍了四款外语学习软件，包括它们的价格、特点、优势以及适用人群。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. (有些人学习外语是因为他们想和当地人交流。另一些人只是对外国文化感到好奇。) ”可知，不同的人学习语言有不同的目的，有的人是为了和当地人交流，有的人是出于对外国文化的好奇。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Talk Now!部分中的“The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities for users so it does not result in fluency. (缺点是它很少关注语法，并且明显缺乏用户的互动活动，因此它不能使语言流利。)”可知，Talk Now!软件的缺点是缺乏互动活动，这会导致用户难以提高语言的流利度。因此，选项B“it doesn’t offer interactive activities (它不提供互动活动)”符合题意。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. (无论你的原因是什么，现在最好的外语软件肯定能在几周内帮助你学会这门语言。)”以及后文对四款外语学习软件的介绍可知，本文主要是向读者介绍一些外语学习软件。因此，选项A“introduce some language learning software to us (向我们介绍一些语言学习软件)”符合文章的目的。故选A。 B I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’ clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation. There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ra n in the plant,which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. . The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear.When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true. These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker.“Study hard and keep reading,” she added. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. 39. How did the author look back on his summer days while at college? A. They brought him nothing but torture. B. They were no holiday for him at all. C. They were a relief from his hard work at school. D. They offered him a chance to know more people. 40. Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “torture” in the first paragraph? A. Misery. B. Fortune. C. Anxiety. D. Availability. 41. What does the author say about college students? A. They expect too much from the real world. B. They have little interest in blue-collar life. C. They think too highly of themselves. D. They are confident about their future. 42. In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him? A. He learned to be more practical. B. He acquired a sense of urgency. C. He came to respect blue-collar workers. D. He came to appreciate his college education. 【答案】39. B 40. A 41. C 42. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者高中毕业后夏天在家乡附近工厂工作的经历。作者认为从学校到全职蓝领工作的转变并不容易，特别是早起去工厂对他来说是一种折磨。作者还提到，大学生往往高估了自己时间和知识的价值，而工厂的工作经历让他意识到教育的重要性。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.(但是，在假期里从学校生活过渡到全职蓝领工作从来都不是一件容易的事。对于像我这样认为上午上课是不文明行为的学生来说，每天早上6点就到工厂简直是一种折磨。我的朋友们似乎从来都不理解为什么回到学校我会如此如释重负，也不明白我的暑假根本算不上什么假期。)”可知，作者认为暑假去工厂工作对他来说根本不是假期，而是一种折磨。因此，当作者在大学时回顾自己的暑假时，他认为那些日子根本不是假期。所以选项B“They were no holiday for him at all.(它们对他来说根本不是假期)”符合题意。故选B。 【40题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture.(对于像我这样认为在中午之前上课是不文明的学生来说，每天早上6点到达工厂是……。)”以及后文“My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.(我的朋友们似乎从来都不理解为什么回到学校我会如此如释重负，也不明白我的暑假根本算不上什么假期。)”可知，作者回到学校后感觉到如释重负，由此作者认为对于像他这样认为上午上课不文明的学生来说，每天早上6点去工厂是折磨。划线词与选项A“Misery（痛苦）”意思相近。故选A。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.(很少有人能像从未踏入现实世界的大学生那样自信。像我这样年纪的人似乎总是高估他们的时间和知识的价值。)”可知，作者认为像他这样没有真正进入过社会的大学生往往过于自信，高估了自己时间和知识的价值。因此，选项C“They think too highly of themselves.(他们对自己评价过高)”符合题意。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段中“After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.(在工厂上完12个小时的班后，其他的选择就变得再明显不过了。当我回到大学时，在见识到没有学校我会过什么样的生活后，逃课和提交敷衍了事的改写作业看起来就太不负责任了。那些曾经听起来陈词滥调的关于教育价值的建议和公益广告，现在听起来却是千真万确的。)”可知，作者在工厂工作12个小时后，意识到没有学校的生活是多么艰难，因此回到大学后更加珍惜学习的机会，不再逃课或提交敷衍的作业。这表明作者的工作经历让他更加珍视自己的大学教育。故选D。 C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 43. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 44. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between . A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 45. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Absorb new information readily. B. Be selective information consumers. C. Use diverse information sources. D. Protect the information environment. 46. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans C. The Later, the Better D. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups 【答案】43. D 44. C 45. B 46. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对棉花糖测试，信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知，如果他们在吃之前等待15分钟，他们将得到第二次奖励)”可知, 在测试中，孩子们需要在吃之前等待15分钟才能得到第二次奖励。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. (但是，当我们重塑了我们周围的世界，大大减少了获取卡路里的成本和努力时，我们的大脑仍然和几千年前一样，这种不匹配是我们这么多人努力抵抗我们知道不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因)”可知，丰富的食物供应和我们不曾改变的大脑之间存在不匹配。故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(因此，就像我们需要更仔细地考虑我们的热量消耗一样，我们也需要更仔细地考虑我们的信息消耗，抵制精神“垃圾食品”的诱惑, 以便最有效地管理我们的时间)”可知，作者建议读者做选择性信息消费者。故选 B。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We‘re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.(作为成年人，我们每天都要面对棉花糖测试。诱惑我们的不是甜食，而是我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑——所有这些将我们与全球信息传递系统连接起来的设备，它们对我们的作用就像棉花糖对学龄前儿童的作用一样)”结合文章主要内容可知，文章主语介绍了在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对棉花糖测试，信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”。 D选项“成人棉花糖测试”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Teenagers are self-contradictory. That’s a mild and objective way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language. But the-self-contradiction is scientific and personal. in adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful-and obedient children become rebellious (叛逆的) teenage risk-takers. A new study published in the journal Child Development, by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues, suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence. For a long time,scientists and policy makers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved. The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk. The researchers studied“prosocial” (亲社会) and rebellious traits (特征) in more than 200children and young adults, ranging from 11 to 28 years old. The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were selfless and positive, like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative, like getting drunk or staying out late. Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same is true for prosocial behavior. Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like unselfishly help a friend. Most significantly, there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness.The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others. The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together. Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments? One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call“reward sensitivity.” Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks, benefits and costs. “Reward sensitivity” measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk. Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards— winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that boy to notice you. Reward sensitivity, like prosocial behavior and risk-taking,seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age. Somehow, when you hit 30, the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the couch. 47. According to Paragraph 1, children growing into adolescence tend to . A. see the world in an unreasonable way B. develop opposite personality traits C. have fond memories of their past D. show affection for their parents 48. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that Crone’s study . A. provides a new insight into adolescence B. explores teenagers’ social responsibilities C. examines teenagers’ emotional problems D. highlights negative adolescent behavior 49. What does Crone’s study find about prosocial behavior? A. It results from the wish to cooperate. B. It tends to peak in adolescence. C. It is cultivated through education. D. It is subject to family influence. 50. It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that teenagers . A. overstress their influence on others B. become anxious about their future C. endeavor to live a joyful life D. care a lot about social recognition 【答案】47. B 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了青少年时期的矛盾性，既有积极的亲社会行为一面，又有消极的叛逆行为一面，并且两者之间存在正相关，新的研究还强调青少年时期是机遇与风险并存的时期。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“in adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown - ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful - and obedient children become rebellious(叛逆的) teenage risk – takers(在青春期，几乎事事都依赖成年人的无助且依赖他人的孩子变成了能够照顾自己并互相帮助的独立的人。与此同时，曾经开朗听话的孩子变成了叛逆的青少年冒险者)”可知，在青春期，曾经依赖大人的孩子变得独立，曾经开朗听话的孩子变得叛逆，即成长为青春期的孩子往往会发展出相反的个性特征，故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A new study published in the journal Child Development, by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues, suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence(莱顿大学的伊芙琳·克朗（Eveline Crone）及其同事在《儿童发展》杂志上发表的一项新研究表明，青少年的积极和消极方面是相伴而生的。这项研究是关于青春期新思潮的一部分)”可知，Crone的研究表明青少年的积极和消极方面是相伴而生的，这是对青春期研究的新思潮的一部分，可推理出它提供了对青春期的新见解，故选A项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same is true for prosocial behavior(其他研究表明，叛逆行为在你成为青少年时增加，然后随着年龄的增长而减少。但有趣的是，这项新研究表明亲社会行为也是如此)”可知，新研究表明亲社会行为在青少年时期达到顶峰，之后随着年龄增长而减少，故选B项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards— winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that boy to notice you(青少年对社会奖励特别敏感——赢得比赛、给新朋友留下深刻印象、让那个男孩注意到你)”可知，青少年对社会奖励比如赢得比赛、给新朋友留下深刻印象、让男孩注意到自己等特别敏感，可推理出青少年对社会认可非常在意，故选D项。 五、阅读表达：本大题共5小题，共10分。 On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most-watched TV show directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou. The show combined traditional Chinese yangko(秧歌)dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots(robots shaped like humans)dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festivals. They spun handkerchiefs instantly and formed creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree(字树科技), Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success. In 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben”(犇犇) danced as backup for singer Andy Lau. They looked, to some extent, a little clumsy and awkward. But this time, the YangBOT danced through AI and used laser navigation(激光导航), thus enabling them to move safely and swiftly on the uneven(不平坦的)stage. They really made a breakthrough in technology. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun-shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations, the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” became hot quickly. Young viewers called it “cool,” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit. The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech-progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”. Some netizens, especially those living abroad, left messages on the blog of CCTV, expressing their sense of pride as Chinese people. It is a reflection of our confidence and pride. 51. Why did the YangBOT make audiences amazed at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala?(in 10 words) ___________________________________________________ 52 What made YangBOT different from Ben Ben?(in 10 words) ___________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined sentence mean?(in 10 words) ___________________________________________________ 54. What can you learn from the last paragraph?(in15 words) ___________________________________________________ 55. How are you inspired by the performance of YangBOT? Please explain in your own words.(in 20words) ___________________________________________________ 【答案】51. The show combined traditional Chinese yangko(秧歌)dance with modern robot technology. 52. The application of AI and laser navigation(more advanced technology). Or:(That)They danced more safely and swiftly. Or:(That)They really made a breakthrough in technology. 53. The robot became popular with millions of people. Millions of people gave it positive reviews/liked the robots. 54. The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech-progress and cultural pride. Chinese people feel confident and proud of Chinese culture and the technology. 55. (Open)民族自豪感、科技改变生活或者我们应该更多地学习了解科技以及其他与本文相关的内容皆可。 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2025年春晚机器人扭秧歌的节目，此节目不仅有趣，还展示了技术如何为传统带来新的生命。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most-watched TV show directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou.(2025年1月28日，在中央电视台春节联欢晚会上，一场名为YangBOT的特别表演让观众大吃一惊，这是由著名制作人张艺谋执导的中国收视率最高的电视节目。)”和第二段“The show combined traditional Chinese yangko(秧歌)dance with modern robot technology.(该节目将中国传统秧歌与现代机器人技术相结合。)”可知，YangBOT令观众大吃一惊是因为该节目将中国传统秧歌与现代机器人技术相结合，故答案为：The show combined traditional Chinese yangko(秧歌)dance with modern robot technology。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“But this time, the YangBOT danced through AI and used laser navigation(激光导航), thus enabling them to move safely and swiftly on the uneven(不平坦的)stage. They really made a breakthrough in technology.(但是，这一次，YangBOT通过人工智能跳舞，使用极光导航，从而使他们能够在不平坦的舞台上安全快速地移动。他们在技术上取得了突破。)”可知，YangBOT与Ben Ben的不同之处在于：YangBOT使用了人工智能和极光导航，他们能安全快速地跳舞，且他们在技术上却是取得了突破。故答案为：The application of AI and laser navigation(more advanced technology). Or:(That)They danced more safely and swiftly. Or:(That)They really made a breakthrough in technology.。 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据文章第三段划线句后文的提示“On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” became hot quickly.(在社交媒体上，像“机器人秧歌”这样的话题很快热了起来。)”可知，此处划线句意为“这个受到了几百万人的欢迎”，故答案为：The robot became popular with millions of people. Or: Millions of people gave it positive reviews/liked the robots。 【54题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech-progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”. Some netizens, especially those living abroad, left messages on the blog of CCTV, expressing their sense of pride as Chinese people. It is a reflection of our confidence and pride.(YangBOT的项目是中国技术进步和文化自豪感的完美结合。正如一位粉丝所说：“这就像看着未来和过去一起跳舞！”一些网民，尤其是那些生活在国外的网民，在中央电视台的博客上留言，表达了他们作为中国人的自豪感。这反映了我们的信心和自豪感。)”可知，YangBOT的项目是中国技术进步和文化自豪感的完美结合，中国人对中国文化和科技感到自信和自豪，故答案为：The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech-progress and cultural pride. Chinese people feel confident and proud of Chinese culture and the technology。 【55题详解】 考查开放性试题。我们的科技越来越先进，民族自豪感越来越强。科技正在迅速改变着人们的生活。故答案为：Our technology is becoming more and more advanced, and our national pride is becoming stronger and stronger. Technology is rapidly changing people's lives。 六、写作 (本题共10分) 56. 假定你是高二三班的李华，你校准备举办以“Chinese Youth of the New Era”为主题的英文演讲活动。请结合屠呦呦和袁隆平老一辈科学家的精神，谈一谈作为新时代青年的你们应该怎么做。内容包括： 1.有梦想；2.有担当；3.有自信，不言弃。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you very much for your attention. 【答案】Dear fellow students, I am Li Hua from class 2 grade 3.

Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be,the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently (流利地) and understand the language clearly as well. Tell Me More This software is widely used in U. S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. Talk Now! If you are looking for a cheaper language learning software, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good software for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities (缺乏互动性活动) for users so it does not result in fluency. Instant Immersion This software provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended (推荐) and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. Kid Speak This is a foreign language translation software that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $30. So, it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now! This software is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos. 36. In learning a language, .

But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’ clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation. There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ra n in the plant,which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. . The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear.When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true. These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker.“Study hard and keep reading,” she added. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. 39. How did the author look back on his summer days while at college? A.

Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 43. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 44. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between . A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 45. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Absorb new information readily. B. Be selective information consumers. C. Use diverse information sources. D. Protect the information environment. 46. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans C. The Later, the Better D. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D Teenagers are self-contradictory. That’s a mild and objective way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language. But the-self-contradiction is scientific and personal. in adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful-and obedient children become rebellious (叛逆的) teenage risk-takers. A new study published in the journal Child Development, by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues, suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence. For a long time,scientists and policy makers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved. The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk. The researchers studied“prosocial” (亲社会) and rebellious traits (特征) in more than 200children and young adults, ranging from 11 to 28 years old. The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were selfless and positive, like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative, like getting drunk or staying out late. Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same is true for prosocial behavior. Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like unselfishly help a friend. Most significantly, there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness.The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others. The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together. Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments? One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call“reward sensitivity.” Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks, benefits and costs. “Reward sensitivity” measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk. Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards— winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that boy to notice you. Reward sensitivity, like prosocial behavior and risk-taking,seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age. Somehow, when you hit 30, the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the couch. 47. According to Paragraph 1, children growing into adolescence tend to . A. see the world in an unreasonable way B. develop opposite personality traits C. have fond memories of their past D. show affection for their parents 48. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that Crone’s study . A. provides a new insight into adolescence B. explores teenagers’ social responsibilities C. examines teenagers’ emotional problems D. highlights negative adolescent behavior 49. What does Crone’s study find about prosocial behavior? A. It results from the wish to cooperate. B. It tends to peak in adolescence. C. It is cultivated through education. D. It is subject to family influence. 50. It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that teenagers . A. overstress their influence on others B. become anxious about their future C. endeavor to live a joyful life D. care a lot about social recognition 五、阅读表达：本大题共5小题，共10分。 On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most-watched TV show directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou. The show combined traditional Chinese yangko(秧歌)dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots(robots shaped like humans)dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festivals. They spun handkerchiefs instantly and formed creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree(字树科技), Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success. In 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben”(犇犇) danced as backup for singer Andy Lau. They looked, to some extent, a little clumsy and awkward. But this time, the YangBOT danced through AI and used laser navigation(激光导航), thus enabling them to move safely and swiftly on the uneven(不平坦的)stage. They really made a breakthrough in technology. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun-shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations, the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” became hot quickly. Young viewers called it “cool,” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit. The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech-progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”. Some netizens, especially those living abroad, left messages on the blog of CCTV, expressing their sense of pride as Chinese people. It is a reflection of our confidence and pride. 51.
