Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.

Researchers say that daily exposure to fast food brands could have a subliminal (潜意识的) effect on 22 , making people hurry regardless of whether they are pushed for time. They conclude: “Our experiments suggest that the goal of saving time embedded in fast food may have the unexpected consequence of causing 23 and impatience.” Thinking about fast food increases 24 for time-saving products. “More 25 , we found that the mere exposure to fast food symbols reduced people’s willingness to save and led them to prefer immediate 26 over greater future return, finally harming their economic interest.” Student volunteers were quickly shown six logos from fast-food chains — McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Subway, Wendy’s and Taco Bell. They could not consciously see what they were but the subliminal effect was 27 . Their reading speed was measured before and after seeing the logos and it was significantly 28 afterwards. Participants also preferred time-saving products like three-in-one skincare treatments rather than 29 versions after seeing the logos. When asked whether they would accept a small sum of money immediately or a larger amount in a week’s time, they again chose 30 reward after being exposed to the brands. Researcher Chen-Bo Zhong, assistant professor of organizational behavior at Canada’s Toronto University, said: “Fast food represents a culture of time efficiency and immediate 31 .” The problem is that the goal of saving time gets activated upon exposure to fast food 32 whether time is a relevant factor in the context. “ 33 , walking faster is time-efficient when one is trying to make a meeting, but it’s a sign of impatience when one is taking a walk in the park.” “We’re finding that the mere exposure to fast food is 34 a general sense of hurriedness and impatience. When I sit in a fast food restaurant, I find myself gobbling (狼吞虎咽)  my Big Mac down at this incredible speed even though there is no 35 at all.” 21．A．hungry B．stressful C．anxious D．timid 22．A．motivation B．appearance C．emotion D．behavior 23．A．inefficiency B．hurriedness C．depression D．ignorance 24．A．preferences B．implications C．ingredients D．intentions 25．A．naturally B．strikingly C．fortunately D．personally 26．A．gain B．proof C．response D．attention 27．A．recorded B．unfulfilled C．celebrated D．marked 28．A．reduced B．accelerated C．emphasized D．neglected 29．A．separate B．special C．expensive D．latest 30．A．potential B．constant C．intense D．instant 31．A．cultivation B．resistance C．satisfaction D．awareness 32．A．in terms of B．on account of C．regardless of D．with respect to 33．A．In other words B．On the contrary C．For example D．In addition 34．A．promoting B．assuming C．making D．demonstrating 35．A．chance B．sense C．rush D．harm 【答案】 21．C 22．D 23．B 24．A 25．B 26．A 27．D 28．B 29．A 30．D 31．C 32．C 33．C 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现，快餐会让人失去耐心，变得不耐烦。 21．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：参加研究中的学生甚至在屏幕上看到麦当劳汉堡连锁店的标识时很快就变得焦急起来，以至于他们都没认出它。A. hungry饥饿的；B. stressful有压力的；C. anxious焦虑的、焦急的；D. timid胆小的。根据上文“Eating fast food makes people impatient even when they are not short of time, a new study claims.(一项新研究称，吃快餐会让人在不缺时间的情况下也变得不耐烦)”提到吃快餐会让人失去耐心，即使他们不缺时间，所以此处是说他们变得很焦急，故选C。 22．考查名词词义辨析。句意：研究人员说，每天接触快餐品牌会对人们的行为产生一种潜意识的影响，使人们无论是否被时间所迫，都会匆忙行事。A. motivation动机；B. appearance出现；C. emotion情感；D. behavior行为。根据后文“making people hurry regardless of whether they are pushed for time”提到人们无论是否被时间所迫，都会匆忙行事，这是对人们的行为产生的影响，故选D。 23．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们的结论是：“我们的实验表明，快餐中蕴含的节省时间的目标可能会产生意想不到的后果，即导致匆忙和不耐烦。”A. inefficiency效率低；B. hurriedness匆忙；C. depression沮丧；D. ignorance无知。呼应上文“making people hurry”指快餐会导致匆忙。故选B。 24．考查名词词义辨析。句意：考虑快餐会增加人们对省时产品的偏好。A. preferences偏好；B. implications暗示；C. ingredients材料；D. intentions意图。根据后文“for time-saving products”以及快餐属于省时食品，因此考虑快餐会增加人们对省时产品的偏爱，故选A。 25．考查副词词义辨析。句意：更为突出的是，我们发现，仅仅接触快餐符号就降低了人们的储蓄意愿，导致他们宁愿眼前获利，也不愿未来获得更大回报，最终损害了他们的经济利益。A. naturally自然地；B. strikingly显著地；C. fortunately幸运地；D. personally亲自地。根据后文“we found that the mere exposure to fast food symbols reduced people’s willingness to save”以及上文说的考虑快餐会增加人们对省时产品的偏好相比，空后的这个发现是更为突出的，故选B。 26．考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A. gain利润、收获；B. proof证据；C. respond回应；D. attention注意。根据空后的“finally harming their economic interest”可知，仅仅接触快餐符号就会导致人们宁愿眼前获利，也不愿未来获得更大回报，故选A。 27．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他们无法有意识地看到它们是什么，但潜意识的影响是显著的。A. recorded记载的；B. unfulfilled未满足的；C. celebrated著名的；D. marked显著的。后文“Their reading speed was measured before and after seeing the logos and it was significantly…afterwards.”提到他们的阅读速度在看到商标之前和之后进行了测量，之后明显更快，这说明对潜意识的影响是显著的，故选D。 28．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们的阅读速度在看到商标之前和之后进行了测量，之后明显更快。A. reduced减少；B. accelerated加速；C. emphasized强调；D. neglected忽视。根据上文“Their reading speed was measured before and after seeing the logos and it was significantly”以及上文提到了快餐会导致人们匆忙，推测阅读速度在看到商标之前和之后进行了测量，之后明显更快。故选B。 29．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：参与者也更喜欢省时的产品，比如三合一的护肤品，而不是单独版本。A. separate各自的、单独的；B. special特别的；C. expensive昂贵的；D. latest最新的。根据空前的“three-in-one skincare treatments rather than”可知此处是与三合一的护肤品的比较，指的是单独版本的护肤品，故选A。 30．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当被问及他们会立即接受一小笔钱还是在一周后接受更多的钱时，他们再次选择了立即获得奖励。A. potential潜在的；B. constant不变的；C. intense紧张的；D. instant立即的、紧迫的。上文“we found that the mere exposure to fast food symbols reduced people’s willingness to save and led them to prefer immediate ____6____ over greater future return, finally harming their economic interest”说仅仅接触快餐符号就降低了人们的储蓄意愿，导致他们宁愿眼前获利，也不愿未来获得更大回报，所以此处是眼前获利的表现，指的是他们选择立即获得奖励，故选D。 31．考查名词词义辨析。句意：快餐代表着一种时间效率和即时满足感的文化。A. cultivation培养；B. resistance阻力；C. satisfaction满意、满足；D. awareness意识。上文“led them to prefer immediate ____6____ over greater future return, finally harming their economic interest”说快餐会让人们选择立即的奖励，这说明快餐会给人们带来一种即时满足感，故选C。 32．考查介词短语辨析。句意：问题是，不管时间是否与环境相关，只要接触到快餐，节省时间的目标就会被激活。A. in terms of依据；B. on account of因为；C. regardless of不管；D. with respect to至于。根据空后的“whether time is a relevant factor in the context”可知，不管时间是否与环境相关，只要接触到快餐，节省时间的目标就会被激活，故选C。 33．考查介词短语辨析。句意：例如，当一个人要去开会时，走得更快是有效率的，但是当一个人在公园散步时，这是一种不耐烦的表现。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A As Dr. Pedro Jose grows older, he keeps setting his goals higher. He believes people in every walk of life need to constantly stretch for new challenges. His daily juggling act is extremely demanding. He’s a doctor, professor, and volunteer medical director of Saint John Clinic for undocumented immigrants. He still pushes on continuing to publicize his agenda in the media and serving on numerous boards and foundations. In 2002, Jose was named chairman of the board of the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation. The awards recognize Hispanics who make important contributions to life in America. Jose believes the stories of Hispanic accomplishments can inspire all Americans. He adds, most important, the scholarships are offered by the foundation. Only two-thirds of Hispanics graduate from high school. To help others, you must be able to help yourself, and that begins with education. Jose has received no shortage of honors of his own, including the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship and the Presidential Service Award. In 1994, Time magazine named him one of the nation’s 50 top leaders under the age of 40. And Hispanic magazine named him Hispanic of the Year in 2002. Jose’s autobiography, Waking Up in America, is now being made into a TV movie, starring Andy Garcia. Jose’s fervent hope is that the movie will help change people’s attitudes about the homeless. He hopes it will show that beyond the hard label are human beings — people who did not choose to be poor. Homeless people have needs and feelings that are no different from anyone else’s. They need help, not judgment. Most of all, though, Jose hopes that people will begin to realize the power they have to change things. There should never be another man in Bed 9, who died without anyone even knowing his name. There should never be another Giles Woodson, the man who was burned to death on the streets of Miami. “As a nation, what makes us great is our individuality. But what makes us truly powerful is when we work together,” says Jose. “If people put their minds to it, this kind of suffering can be solved.” 36．How did Jose help the homeless? A．Call on the public to pay attention to this issue. B．Provided good education for them. C．Set higher goals to face the coming challenges. D．Conducted medical research on them. 37．Why was Jose named the head of the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation? A．His success in-the medical field inspired Americans. B．He contributed a lot to helping people in need. C．He developed good relationships with Hispanics. D．He found few Hispanics graduated from high school. 38．The underlined word “prestigious” in paragraph 4 probably means___________. A．worthy B．inaccessible C．respectable D．delightful 39．What do Jose’s words in the last paragraph imply? A．Be united and we will make the world a better place to live. B．Governments are responsible for the problem of the homeless. C．Do bear in mind that the homeless have suffered quite a lot. D．With rights and power, the homeless can solve their problems. 【答案】36．A 37．B 38．C 39．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Pedro Jose博士为了让世界变得更好而做出的努力。他是一名医生、教授、也是圣约翰无证移民诊所的志愿医疗主任，他是对美国生活做出重要贡献的拉美裔人，获得了诸多荣誉。 36．细节理解题。根据第一段“He still pushes on continuing to publicize his agenda in the media and serving on numerous boards and foundations. (他仍然继续在媒体上宣传他的议程，并在众多董事会和基金会任职)”以及倒数第三段“Jose’s fervent hope is that the movie will help change people’s attitudes about the homeless.(何塞热切地希望这部电影能帮助改变人们对无家可归者的态度)”可知，Jose通过做宣传来呼吁人们帮助无家可归者。故选A项。 37．细节理解题。根据第二段“The awards recognize Hispanics who make important contributions to life in America.(该奖项旨在表彰对美国生活做出重要贡献的拉美裔人)”可知，Jose被任命为拉美裔传统奖基金会的负责人是因为他为帮助有需要的人做了很多贡献。故选B项。 38．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“In 1994, Time magazine named him one of the nation’s 50 top leaders under the age of 40. And Hispanic magazine named him Hispanic of the Year in 2002. Jose’s autobiography, Waking Up in America, is now being made into a TV movie, starring Andy Garcia.(1994年，《时代》杂志将他评为美国40岁以下50位最高领导人之一。西班牙杂志在2002年将他评为年度西班牙人。何塞的自传《在美国醒来》现在正被拍成电视电影，由安迪·加西亚主演)”可知，何塞获得了很多成就，说明麦克阿瑟奖学金和总统服务奖也是备受尊敬的奖项。故划线词意思是“备受尊敬的”。故选C项。 39．推理判断题。根据最后一段““As a nation, what makes us great is our individuality. But what makes us truly powerful is when we work together,” says Jose. “If people put their minds to it, this kind of suffering can be solved.”(“作为一个民族，让我们伟大的是我们的个性。但真正让我们强大的是我们一起努力，”何塞说。“如果人们用心去做，这种痛苦是可以解决的。”)”可知，最后一段中Jose的话暗示了团结起来，我们将使世界成为一个更美好的居住地。故选A项。 B ▲Greenwich Village, New York City                                                $4, 500/ month Picture a charming tree-lined street straight out of a classic New York movie.

I had come to believe that these tiny personalized codes get a bum rap. Yes, I understand why passwords are universally hated: the strains they put on our memory, the endless demand to update them, their sheer number. I hate them too. But there is more to passwords than their annoyance. In the fact that we construct them so that we (and only we) will remember them, they take on secret lives. Many of our passwords are filled with suffering, mischief, sometimes even poetry. Often they have rich backstories. There was the former prisoner whose password includes what used to be his identification number(“a reminder not to go back” ); the childless 45-year-old whose password is the name of the baby boy she lost ( “my way of trying to keep him alive, I guess”). Sometimes the passwords were playful. Several people said they used incorrect for theirs so that when they forgot it, the software automatically gave them the right one( “your password is incorrect”). Some passwords were striking for their creativity, folding big thoughts down into tidy little codes. After being inspired by Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. Cortni Kerr, a running partner of mine, began using Ww$$dol3, which stood for “What would Sheryl Sandberg do” plus “13” for the year(2013) of the password’s creation. TnsitTpsif was the password of another friend, a computer scientist who loves wordplay. It stands for “The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false,” which in philosophy is called a liar’s paradox. For my friend, it was a playful reference to the knots that language can tie. While asking strangers about their passwords is a touchy proposition, it’s not every day that you come across a conversation topic that teaches you new things about people you’ve known for years. The 4622 that my wife uses in her passwords was not just the address of her own father’s childhood home but also a reminder of his weakness and strength. Apparently when the former 270-pound football standout, a scholarship athlete and the pride of his working-class neighborhood in west Tulsa, was a small boy, he had to sing his home address(4622 South 28th West Avenue) in one full breath rather than try to say it normally, otherwise, his stutter (口吃) would trip him up. 43．What does the phrase “a bum rap” (paragraph 1) most probably mean? A．an imaginative story B．an unreasonable structure C．a false blame D．a notable exception 44．Which of the following passwords does the writer use as an example of those with a touch of humour? A．An identification number. B．The word “incorrect” C．WwS$do13. D．TnsitTpsif. 45．Why does the writer’s wife use the number “4622” in her passwords? A．It reminded her of her father. B．It helped her to overcome stutter. C．It was the address of her childhood home. D．It was part of the name of her favourite song. 46．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Development of Passwords. B．The Secret Lives of Passwords. C．Why Everybody Hates Passwords. D．Passwords: What We Can’t Live Without. 【答案】43．C 44．B 45．A 46．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了密码不仅仅是用于登录的代码，它们还承载着个人的情感、记忆和创意，揭示了密码背后隐藏的“秘密生活”。 43．词句猜测题。根据下文“Yes, I understand why passwords are universally hated: the strains they put on our memory, the endless demand to update them, their sheer number. I hate them too.(是的，我理解为什么密码被普遍憎恨：它们给我们的记忆带来压力，不断更新它们的需求，它们的数量之多。我也讨厌他们。)”可知，密码被普遍憎恨，所以作者肯定认为，密码被人们错怪了，短语a bum rap的意义为“错怪”，与a false blame意义一致。故选C项。 44．细节理解题。根据第一段“Sometimes the passwords were playful. Several people said they used incorrect for theirs so that when they forgot it, the software automatically gave them the right one( “your password is incorrect”).(有时密码会带点小幽默。一些人说他们使用“incorrect”作为密码，这样当他们忘记时，软件会自动给他们正确的密码(‘your password is incorrect’)。”可知，作者以“incorrect”作为幽默密码的例子。故选B项。 45．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The 4622 that my wife uses in her passwords was not just the address of her own father’s childhood home but also a reminder of his weakness and strength.(我妻子用在她密码里的“4622”，不仅代表着她父亲童年故居的门牌号，更铭刻着他的脆弱与坚韧。)”可知，作者的妻子在她的密码中使用数字“4622”是因为这些数字让她想起她的父亲。故选A项。 46．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“In the fact that we construct them so that we (and only we) will remember them, they take on secret lives. Many of our passwords are filled with suffering, mischief, sometimes even poetry.(事实上，我们构建这些密码的方式使得只有我们自己能够记住它们，于是它们便拥有了隐秘的生命。我们的许多密码都充满了痛苦、恶作剧，有时甚至还有诗意。)”可知，文章通过多个例子展示了密码背后隐藏的情感、记忆和创意，揭示了密码的“秘密生活”。因此，最佳标题是“B. The Secret Lives of Passwords(密码的‘秘密生活’)”。故选B项。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.How to Survive High School A．Other babies didn't have such large, pointed skulls. B．But nothing his father said made the invisible power seem less mysterious or wonderful. C．There was so much curiosity about the world that Albert was always by himself thinking hard. D．They were also filled with magnetism(磁性). E．Albert was ahead of his peers in different aspects. F．Albert's parents were amused by his confusion. Five-year-old Albert Einstein stared at his hand as if it held magic. Cupped in his palm was a small, round instrument with a glass cover and a jiggling needle. Albert's father called it a compass. Albert called it a mystery. No matter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north. Quietly Hermann Einstein watched his son. Albert was a chubby little boy with pale, round cheeks and thick, black hair that was usually messy. His bright brown eyes were wide with discovery. Something was in the room with him, Albert realized—something he couldn't see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Deeply attracted, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism, the strange force that made the compass needle point north. 47 To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the compass was a miracle he would never forget. But then Albert had always been different from other children. Born March 14，1879, in Ulm, Germany, Albert hadn't been looked like other babies. As she cradled（摇） her new son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. 48 Was something wrong with Albert? Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Albert's head began to look right to her. When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich，where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. Looking down at the tiny sleeping bundle, Albert was puzzled. Where were the baby's wheels? Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels. 49 But any response at all would have delighted them. At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. Hermann and Pauline wondered why he was so late in talking. As Albert grew older, he continued to have trouble putting his thoughts into words. Even when he was nine years old, he spoke slowly, if he decided to say anything at all. But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. Sometimes when he went hiking with his parents and Maja, he thought about his father's compass and what it had showed to him. The clear, open meadows (草地) were filled with more than the wind or the scent of flowers. 50 The very thought of it quickened Albert's pulse. 【答案】47．B 48．A 49．F 50．D 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。通过大量实例记叙艾尔伯特与众不同之处。 47．通过上文得知被父亲所解释的驱使指南针工作的磁性所深深吸引。空格后面讲述的是不像其他小孩只把指南针当另一种玩具，而对于艾尔伯特来说是一件神秘难以让人忘怀的宝贝。可以推出此空格填与磁性是一种不可见的力量，但一点也不失其神秘感和神奇感相关的事物。故填：B。 48．根据文意，他妈妈抱着他的时候感觉他的头很奇特，是不是他有什么问题呢？不是，而是他的头比普通小孩的头要大些而已。故选A。 49．通过上文得知，艾尔伯特觉得妹妹很奇怪，她的轮子呢？因为他玩的玩具多半是带有轮子的玩具，而艾尔伯特对于任何事物的反应都会让他的父母亲高兴。据此可以推出艾尔伯特的混乱不清的思想使得他父母感到高兴，故选F。 50．当他出去玩的时候，他想的是他父亲给他讲的指南针的事情和他所展示给他看的神奇之处。所以当他看到这些鲜花时想起父亲讲的这些事情便心跳加速，说明这些鲜花也是充满磁性的。故选D。 IV. Summary Writing （10分） 71．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Cosmetic Surgeries Get Extreme Everyone goes through it: poking at the eye bags and the loose skin in the mirror. It’s part of the human condition to fear ageing, but among the 20 and 30 something, there seems to be a heightened anxiety around growing older, coupled with an increasingly casual attitude towards getting Botox (肉毒素，用于除皱）compared with previous generations. In 2022, 27% of US patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger, compared with 21% in 2015, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. The idea is to stop wrinkles before they start. So why are we so desperate to pretend we’re not growing older? For my generation, being perpetually online and scrolling through the lives of others must be a factor. It keeps us locked into a constant state of comparison. And in a time of economic uncertainty, millennials and gen Z are also unable to tick off traditional checkpoints of adulthood, so the idea that many alter their appearance to turn back the clock makes perfect sense to me. For women, our looks are aesthetic capital after all--and being beautiful can unlock social and professional success. But these treatments often don’t come with warnings; it’s up to the consumer to research potential pitfalls (陷阱). Botched (粗制滥造的)cosmetic procedures among young people are on the rise, with too many treatments taking place in unregulated beauty salons and carried out by unqualified practitioners. Last month, three women in the US contracted HIV from a cosmetic procedures intended for the skin, when an unlicensed New Mexico medical clinic reused needles that should have been disposed of, which caused understandable alarm worldwide. One friend who loves Botox said to me recently: “I can’t stay 28 for ever, but the aim is to look 28 forever.” I’m trying to reject the message that it’s wrong for women to look their true age. It can be hard to tune out the noise, but the alternative may mean a future damaged by self-doubt, expensive treatments or even regret. I think I’ll stick with the eye bags. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】There is a growing trend for young people to fear getting old and take cosmetic surgeries casually. There are several reasons, including constant comparison with others online, refusing to accept adulthood, and better job and life prospects ensured by beauty. However, some surgeries of low quality will do irreversible damage. Therefore, the author chooses to keep her true looks. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。年轻人害怕变老，随便做整容手术的趋势越来越明显。原因有几个，包括经常在网上和别人比较，拒绝接受成年，以及美貌能保证更好的工作和生活前景。然而，一些低质量的手术会造成不可逆的损伤。因此，作者选择保持她的真实面貌。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①In 2022, 27% of US patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger, compared with 21% in 2015, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery.

Listening Comprehension Section A 1. M: Hi, Lucy, how was the movie you saw last night? W: Oh, I should have stayed at home watching TV. Q: What did the woman feel about the movie? 2. W: This T-shirt is lovely, but I only have 55 dollars. M: I have 30 dollars with me. Would you like to borrow 25 dollars and take the T-shirt home? Q: How much does the T-shirt cost? 3. W: I’ve been having a toothache for the whole weekend. It is even worse today so I had to ask for leave. M: I see, please lie down so that I can check it. Q: Whom was the woman most probably talking to? 4. M: Welcome to Saipan. May I check your passport and papers, miss? W: By all means. Here you are. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place? 5. M: The front door to the library was unlocked on Friday afternoon. W: Really? That’s unusual. Q: What can we learn from the conversation? 6. W: I have no idea what happened to Wilson. M: Neither do I. I’m sure he planned to come to the meeting. Q: What can we learn about Wilson? 7. W: I heard that you have already bought many souvenirs for your family. M: Well, I bought a shaver for my father, and three novels for my sister. But I haven’t decided what to buy for my mother. Judy says there is no woman who doesn’t like jewels. Q: What will the man probably buy for his mother? 8. M: I can’t decide whether to buy a new motorcycle or to get a second-hand one. W: A new one will probably save you money in the long run.

Q: Which of the following statements is wrong?  Section B Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Some of the earliest keys, dating back to 700 B.C., were large and made of wood. They opened palace gates and looked like giant toothbrushes with pegs on them. Hundreds of years later, the Romans made smaller, metal keys. In fact, rich Romans wore some of them as rings. With these keys, they locked boxes that contained valuables. Key designs became more artistic in the 14th century. Some European locksmiths became famous for making beautiful keys. Kings invited them to design their castle keys. As European cities grew in the 18th century, so did the number of thieves. Thus locksmiths designed locks and keys that were better at preventing thieves from breaking in. Today, office workers and hotel guests open doors using electronic keycards, cards that are used as keys. There are even smartphone apps for gaining entry to one’s home without a key. Although traditional metal keys may one day disappear, the need for security will remain. Questions: 11. What were some earliest keys made of? 12. Why did some European locksmiths become famous? 13. How do office workers open doors? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage The ancient Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012, and Hollywood has wasted no time portraying the coming date as the trigger of a worldwide disaster. But in Mexico, where drug violence has hindered the nation’s $70 billion tourism industry, government leaders hope to counter Tinselton’s doomsday scenario by promoting 2012 as the year of the tourist. Several of Mexico’s top tourism officials have been making the rounds in their northern neighbor, betting that an invitation to see Mayan ruins will attract a large number of older, wealthier U.S. visitors keen on Mexican culture. Whereas the Hollywood blockbuster 2012 depicts the end of the Mayan calendar as the spark of a global calamity, the Mexican campaign will include a countdown to the calendar’s conclusion and urge tourists to visit archaeological sites. Rodolf Lopez-Negrete, the chief operating officer for the Mexico Tourism Board, said, “Our focus will be on growth and prosperity instead of the end of the world.” Questions: 14. What do Mexican government leaders hope to do? 15. Whom will Maya ruins most probably attract? 16. What is the passage mainly about? Section C Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: Morning, Judy. Thanks for coming. We’ re busy preparing Gary’s farewell party and need your help. W: Yeah, sure. So have you started working out the details? M: Exactly. W: Well, the first thing is when is the best time to throw the party? M: Er … today is Oct. 21st, and he leaves on the 28th. W: We all have exams on the 25th, and some people may need time to prepare for them. Then how about the 26th? M: That’s good, I suppose. W: Then where to hold it? In the school cafeteria or some restaurant? M: I think a restaurant will probably work out rather expensive. And I’ve been looking at the school cafeteria. W: That sounds nice. Why not? The food there is delicious and the price is reasonable. Moreover, almost all of us are satisfied with the service and like the staff there. M: And then we ought to be thinking about invitations … who mustn’t we forget to invite? W: Well, obviously Gary. M: Oh yeah, that’s for sure. W: And our class teacher and all the classmates. And I don’t mind writing the invitations. M: That’s really kind of you. And then what? Oh, yes, a present. Have you got any ideas for presents? W: Um … Flowers? Books? A football with all our names on it? M: I thought, you know, a set of dictionaries? I once heard him say he needed a good one. We could suggest each of our classmates offer 5 dollars. That will be enough for a good one. W: Great idea. Would you mind doing that? M: No, not at all. So is that all? W: Looks like it. M: Great! Questions: 17. What are the two speakers talking about? 18. When are they going to throw the party? 19. What present will they prepare? 20.

Whether you're actively involved as a player or an eager 11 , the thrill of a live sports event is undeniable. At 12 and professional levels, sports teams are like close-knit communities. Each member brings a unique trait to the group. For example, in a soccer team, some players might be known for their exceptional ball-control skills, while others have a knack for strategic positioning. This 13 within the team is crucial for its success. Coaches play a(n) 14 role, guiding players with their expertise, devising game plans, and motivating the team to perform at its best. Their input often has a direct bearing on the 15 of a match. Training for sports requires a great deal of 16 . Athletes spend countless hours practicing, running drills, and engaging in strength-training exercises. They know that 17 effort is the key to achieving their goals. Whether it's improving their speed, endurance, or technique, every bit of hard work counts. The impact of sports is 18 . It goes beyond the boundaries of the playing field.

Regular participation in sports is linked to better physical health, improved mental well-being, and enhanced social connections. In short, sports are not just about games; they're a powerful force that enriches our lives in many ways. III. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Eating fast food makes people impatient even when they are not short of time, a new study claims. Students in the study became 21 even when shown the logo of burger chain McDonald’s so quickly on screen that they could not recognize it. Researchers say that daily exposure to fast food brands could have a subliminal (潜意识的) effect on 22 , making people hurry regardless of whether they are pushed for time. They conclude: “Our experiments suggest that the goal of saving time embedded in fast food may have the unexpected consequence of causing 23 and impatience.” Thinking about fast food increases 24 for time-saving products. “More 25 , we found that the mere exposure to fast food symbols reduced people’s willingness to save and led them to prefer immediate 26 over greater future return, finally harming their economic interest.” Student volunteers were quickly shown six logos from fast-food chains — McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Subway, Wendy’s and Taco Bell. They could not consciously see what they were but the subliminal effect was 27 . Their reading speed was measured before and after seeing the logos and it was significantly 28 afterwards. Participants also preferred time-saving products like three-in-one skincare treatments rather than 29 versions after seeing the logos. When asked whether they would accept a small sum of money immediately or a larger amount in a week’s time, they again chose 30 reward after being exposed to the brands. Researcher Chen-Bo Zhong, assistant professor of organizational behavior at Canada’s Toronto University, said: “Fast food represents a culture of time efficiency and immediate 31 .” The problem is that the goal of saving time gets activated upon exposure to fast food 32 whether time is a relevant factor in the context. “ 33 , walking faster is time-efficient when one is trying to make a meeting, but it’s a sign of impatience when one is taking a walk in the park.” “We’re finding that the mere exposure to fast food is 34 a general sense of hurriedness and impatience. When I sit in a fast food restaurant, I find myself gobbling (狼吞虎咽)  my Big Mac down at this incredible speed even though there is no 35 at all.” 21．A．hungry B．stressful C．anxious D．timid 22．A．motivation B．appearance C．emotion D．behavior 23．A．inefficiency B．hurriedness C．depression D．ignorance 24．A．preferences B．implications C．ingredients D．intentions 25．A．naturally B．strikingly C．fortunately D．personally 26．A．gain B．proof C．response D．attention 27．A．recorded B．unfulfilled C．celebrated D．marked 28．A．reduced B．accelerated C．emphasized D．neglected 29．A．separate B．special C．expensive D．latest 30．A．potential B．constant C．intense D．instant 31．A．cultivation B．resistance C．satisfaction D．awareness 32．A．in terms of B．on account of C．regardless of D．with respect to 33．A．In other words B．On the contrary C．For example D．In addition 34．A．promoting B．assuming C．making D．demonstrating 35．A．chance B．sense C．rush D．harm Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A As Dr. Pedro Jose grows older, he keeps setting his goals higher. He believes people in every walk of life need to constantly stretch for new challenges. His daily juggling act is extremely demanding. He’s a doctor, professor, and volunteer medical director of Saint John Clinic for undocumented immigrants. He still pushes on continuing to publicize his agenda in the media and serving on numerous boards and foundations. In 2002, Jose was named chairman of the board of the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation. The awards recognize Hispanics who make important contributions to life in America. Jose believes the stories of Hispanic accomplishments can inspire all Americans. He adds, most important, the scholarships are offered by the foundation. Only two-thirds of Hispanics graduate from high school. To help others, you must be able to help yourself, and that begins with education. Jose has received no shortage of honors of his own, including the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship and the Presidential Service Award. In 1994, Time magazine named him one of the nation’s 50 top leaders under the age of 40. And Hispanic magazine named him Hispanic of the Year in 2002. Jose’s autobiography, Waking Up in America, is now being made into a TV movie, starring Andy Garcia. Jose’s fervent hope is that the movie will help change people’s attitudes about the homeless. He hopes it will show that beyond the hard label are human beings — people who did not choose to be poor. Homeless people have needs and feelings that are no different from anyone else’s. They need help, not judgment. Most of all, though, Jose hopes that people will begin to realize the power they have to change things. There should never be another man in Bed 9, who died without anyone even knowing his name. There should never be another Giles Woodson, the man who was burned to death on the streets of Miami. “As a nation, what makes us great is our individuality. But what makes us truly powerful is when we work together,” says Jose. “If people put their minds to it, this kind of suffering can be solved.” 36．How did Jose help the homeless? A．Call on the public to pay attention to this issue. B．Provided good education for them. C．Set higher goals to face the coming challenges. D．Conducted medical research on them. 37．Why was Jose named the head of the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation? A．His success in-the medical field inspired Americans. B．He contributed a lot to helping people in need. C．He developed good relationships with Hispanics. D．He found few Hispanics graduated from high school. 38．The underlined word “prestigious” in paragraph 4 probably means___________. A．worthy B．inaccessible C．respectable D．delightful 39．What do Jose’s words in the last paragraph imply? A．Be united and we will make the world a better place to live. B．Governments are responsible for the problem of the homeless. C．Do bear in mind that the homeless have suffered quite a lot. D．With rights and power, the homeless can solve their problems.

C Several years ago, I began asking my friends and family to tell me their passwords. I had come to believe that these tiny personalized codes get a bum rap. Yes, I understand why passwords are universally hated: the strains they put on our memory, the endless demand to update them, their sheer number. I hate them too. But there is more to passwords than their annoyance. In the fact that we construct them so that we (and only we) will remember them, they take on secret lives. Many of our passwords are filled with suffering, mischief, sometimes even poetry. Often they have rich backstories. There was the former prisoner whose password includes what used to be his identification number(“a reminder not to go back” ); the childless 45-year-old whose password is the name of the baby boy she lost ( “my way of trying to keep him alive, I guess”). Sometimes the passwords were playful. Several people said they used incorrect for theirs so that when they forgot it, the software automatically gave them the right one( “your password is incorrect”). Some passwords were striking for their creativity, folding big thoughts down into tidy little codes. After being inspired by Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. Cortni Kerr, a running partner of mine, began using Ww$$dol3, which stood for “What would Sheryl Sandberg do” plus “13” for the year(2013) of the password’s creation. TnsitTpsif was the password of another friend, a computer scientist who loves wordplay. It stands for “The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false,” which in philosophy is called a liar’s paradox. For my friend, it was a playful reference to the knots that language can tie. While asking strangers about their passwords is a touchy proposition, it’s not every day that you come across a conversation topic that teaches you new things about people you’ve known for years. The 4622 that my wife uses in her passwords was not just the address of her own father’s childhood home but also a reminder of his weakness and strength. Apparently when the former 270-pound football standout, a scholarship athlete and the pride of his working-class neighborhood in west Tulsa, was a small boy, he had to sing his home address(4622 South 28th West Avenue) in one full breath rather than try to say it normally, otherwise, his stutter (口吃) would trip him up. 43．What does the phrase “a bum rap” (paragraph 1) most probably mean? A．an imaginative story B．an unreasonable structure C．a false blame D．a notable exception 44．Which of the following passwords does the writer use as an example of those with a touch of humour? A．An identification number. B．The word “incorrect” C．WwS$do13. D．TnsitTpsif. 45．Why does the writer’s wife use the number “4622” in her passwords? A．It reminded her of her father. B．It helped her to overcome stutter. C．It was the address of her childhood home. D．It was part of the name of her favourite song. 46．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Development of Passwords. B．The Secret Lives of Passwords. C．Why Everybody Hates Passwords. D．Passwords: What We Can’t Live Without. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.How to Survive High School A．Other babies didn't have such large, pointed skulls. B．But nothing his father said made the invisible power seem less mysterious or wonderful. C．There was so much curiosity about the world that Albert was always by himself thinking hard. D．They were also filled with magnetism(磁性). E．Albert was ahead of his peers in different aspects. F．Albert's parents were amused by his confusion. Five-year-old Albert Einstein stared at his hand as if it held magic. Cupped in his palm was a small, round instrument with a glass cover and a jiggling needle. Albert's father called it a compass. Albert called it a mystery. No matter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north. Quietly Hermann Einstein watched his son. Albert was a chubby little boy with pale, round cheeks and thick, black hair that was usually messy. His bright brown eyes were wide with discovery. Something was in the room with him, Albert realized—something he couldn't see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Deeply attracted, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism, the strange force that made the compass needle point north. 47 To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the compass was a miracle he would never forget. But then Albert had always been different from other children. Born March 14，1879, in Ulm, Germany, Albert hadn't been looked like other babies. As she cradled（摇） her new son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. 48 Was something wrong with Albert? Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Albert's head began to look right to her. When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich，where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. Looking down at the tiny sleeping bundle, Albert was puzzled. Where were the baby's wheels? Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels. 49 But any response at all would have delighted them. At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. Hermann and Pauline wondered why he was so late in talking. As Albert grew older, he continued to have trouble putting his thoughts into words. Even when he was nine years old, he spoke slowly, if he decided to say anything at all. But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. Sometimes when he went hiking with his parents and Maja, he thought about his father's compass and what it had showed to him. The clear, open meadows (草地) were filled with more than the wind or the scent of flowers. 50 The very thought of it quickened Albert's pulse. IV. Summary Writing （10分） 71．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Cosmetic Surgeries Get Extreme Everyone goes through it: poking at the eye bags and the loose skin in the mirror. It’s part of the human condition to fear ageing, but among the 20 and 30 something, there seems to be a heightened anxiety around growing older, coupled with an increasingly casual attitude towards getting Botox (肉毒素，用于除皱）compared with previous generations. In 2022, 27% of US patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger, compared with 21% in 2015, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. The idea is to stop wrinkles before they start. So why are we so desperate to pretend we’re not growing older? For my generation, being perpetually online and scrolling through the lives of others must be a factor. It keeps us locked into a constant state of comparison. And in a time of economic uncertainty, millennials and gen Z are also unable to tick off traditional checkpoints of adulthood, so the idea that many alter their appearance to turn back the clock makes perfect sense to me. For women, our looks are aesthetic capital after all--and being beautiful can unlock social and professional success. But these treatments often don’t come with warnings; it’s up to the consumer to research potential pitfalls (陷阱). Botched (粗制滥造的)cosmetic procedures among young people are on the rise, with too many treatments taking place in unregulated beauty salons and carried out by unqualified practitioners. Last month, three women in the US contracted HIV from a cosmetic procedures intended for the skin, when an unlicensed New Mexico medical clinic reused needles that should have been disposed of, which caused understandable alarm worldwide. One friend who loves Botox said to me recently: “I can’t stay 28 for ever, but the aim is to look 28 forever.” I’m trying to reject the message that it’s wrong for women to look their true age. It can be hard to tune out the noise, but the alternative may mean a future damaged by self-doubt, expensive treatments or even regret. I think I’ll stick with the eye bags. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
