To instruct teens to earn volunteer hours. D. To promote awareness of world affairs. B I heard time and again that creative expression and science were contradictory. When my college roommate concluded with a personality test that I was the “creative” type, the rest of my friends said that couldn’t be right, because “I was a scientist and therefore was not creative.” When I tell people I'm in a chemistry Ph. D. program, they often respond with something along the lines of, “I could never do that because I am more of the creative type.” At times I have internalized this misconception. I worried my way of thinking would’t fit in with “proper” scientists. In the end though, my desire to pursue a scientific career won out. I figured I would continue to find a way to balance my research with my creative pursuits. I started during my first year of grad school, when I served as a teacher's assistant for an analytical chemistry lab course. Todd, the professor leading the class, spotted me watching him fix glassware and offered to give me a lesson. I learned how to repair equipment as well as artistic glass blowing techniques. I felt like myself, enjoying my scientific studies while also satisfying my artistic side. But once I finished my teaching assistant duties, finding time for glass blowing became difficult and my research began to suffer. I had a hard time brainstorming innovative solutions. I needed a creative outlet to keep myself going; it just had to fit within my schedule. This was when I found pottery (陶艺), which I could pursue on evenings and weekends. After my first class, I was addicted. I keep a note book filled with doodles (乱涂) of cup designs inspired by my experiments. Through the challenge of distilling (提炼) my paper into its core concepts in such a way, I gained a better understanding of my project. Pottery has now turned into a way for me to train my brain to be creative. 40. What does the underlined part “this misconception” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Creativity and science conflict B. Personality tests are unscientific. C. Scientists are lacking in artistic talent. D. Pursuing a Ph. D. in chemistry is unwise. 41. How did the author feel during Todd’s class? A. Worried. B. Content. C. Confused. D. Shocked. 42. What happened after the author finished her teaching assistant duties? A. She found it hard to work with Todd. B. She rescheduled the glass blowing course. C. She noticed a decline in her blowing skills. D. She had a temporary setback in her research. 43. The author took up pottery in order to ________. A. meet new friends B. find peace of mind C. move ahead in her research D. pursue a career in it 44. What effect did pottery have on the author? A. It reminded her of the golden days at university. B. It motivated her to be a part-time designer. C. It enabled her to do experiments at night. D. It helped her think outside the box. C The human sense of smell is often dismissed as unimportant, yet it makes our lives more vibrant, says Jones Olfson. There is something about wine experts that leads people the wrong way. Wine tasting has become the epitome (典型) of privileged individuals spending their days nose deep in a glass of swirling pinot noir (黑皮诺葡萄). This negative view of wine experts isn’t only misguided, but part of a general devaluation of our sense of smell. Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle wrote that “our sense of smell is not accurate but worse than many animals. For man smells poorly.” The human ability to smell is still thought of as weak. A UK survey showed it was seen as the least important of the senses, and about half of young adults would rather lose their sense of smell than their mobile phones. But humans are astute smellers, and smells affect our lives in profound ways! A decade ago, researchers discovered that humans can often detect odor molecules at a weaker concentration than non-human animals can, outperforming bats, monkeys, pigs, rats and others — really most other animals except dogs. Ethyl mercaptan (乙硫醇), a molecule added to natural gas so we can detect leaks, requires the equivalent of three drops in a space the size of an Olympic swimming pool for us to detect it — a concentration of 0.2 parts per billion. It is true that our sense of smell is different from our other senses. While our eyes are superb at performing visual analyses of the environment, the human sense of smell creates holistic (整体的) impressions of our surroundings, informed by all our senses. When we perceive a smell, we interpret it based also on what we hear. think, and feel. For example, a bright yellow color helps bring out the citrus aroma in a lemonade. Hunger or the bodily memory of an illness might create opposite reactions to the same food smell. These cross-sensory influences on our smell perceptions might seem a shortcoming,but my research has taught me to consider it as a feature, not a bug. My team recently discovered that the brain is especially engaged in making predictions about future smells, and when those predictions are violated by a surprising smell, several regions across the brain respond as if to an alert to re-evaluate what we are actually smelling. Wine experts are great at making smell predictions. A pale ruby-red might guide the expert to sniff for strawberry and mushroom, characteristic notes of a pinot noir. The sense of smell involved in natural environments where the senses have to work together to find potential food sources and remember the consequences of eating it. The expertise of wine tasters is fueled by their knowledge of sensory associations. Smells bind together impressions from all the senses, linking them to our internal states: hunger, excitement, anxiety. A lot of what we expect of the future. That is why anosmia (嗅觉缺失症), the loss of the ability to smell, which happened to millions during the covid-19 pandemic, often leaves people depressed, emotionally and socially disconnected from their partners, with a disrupted appetite and a lack of enjoyment from cating and drinking. They sometimes feel like they are detached from reality. Smell is as alive as our life more vividly, and far stronger than we know. For those of us who are fortunate to retain our sense of smell, learning about wines and new fragrances to expand our palate, and spending more time among the smells of nature, are excellent ways to cultivate our often-neglected intelligence. 45. According to the passage, what did Aristotle believe about the human sense of smell? A. It is weaker than that of marry animals. B. It is more accurate than that of many animals. C. It is the most important of all the senses. D. It is unrelated to human survival. 46. What’s the function of the example shown in Paragraph 4? A. To demonstrate dogs have the best sense of smell. B. To tell humans can smell better than all other animals except bats. C. To show humans can detect oil leaks better than dogs do D. To indicate human sense of smell has been much underestimated. 47. What is the main idea of the paragraph discussing the holistic nature of smell?. A. Smell creates impressions influenced by other senses, emotions, and memories. B. Human smell is inferior to vision in analyzing the environment. C. Smell is the most important sense for survival. D. Smell is unrelated to other sensory experiences. 48. What can be inferred about wine experts from the passage? A. They rely only on their sense of smell to identify wines. B. They have a weaker sense-of smell compared to the average person. C. They use cross - sensory knowledge, such as color, to predict and interpret smells. D. They are fess affected by anosmia than others. 49. How does the author describe the impact of anosmia on people’s lives in Paragraph 8? A. It improves their ability to focus on other senses. B. It makes people more dependent on their mobile phones. C. It leads to emotional and social disconnection, as well as a disrupted appetite. D. It enhances their enjoyment of food and drink. 50. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To criticize the overemphasis on visual and auditory senses. B. . To highlight the importance and complexity of the human sense of smell. C. To promote the use of smell training for anosmia patients. D. To compare human and animal olfactory abilities. D There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language — all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we sec ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making, 51. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process, would ______. A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder B. grow up from his own achievements C. face difficulties and take up challenges D. aim high and reach his goal each time 52. Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing? A. Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges. B. Jane won the first prize in the speech competition. C. Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris D. Father’s salary rose from 5,000 to 7,000. 53. For personal growth the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______. A. being curious about more changes B being quick in self-adaptation C having an open mind to new experiences D. staying away from failures and challenges 54. The underlined word “indecisive” can be replaced by ______. A. unable B. uncertain C. uneasy D. unkind 55. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. It is not so easy to measure personal growth. B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable. C. People’s willingness to face the unknown plays a neg give part in personal growth. D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up. 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共45分） IV.（1 point each,10 points in total） Fill in the blanks using the correct form.

When my college roommate concluded with a personality test that I was the “creative” type, the rest of my friends said that couldn’t be right, because “I was a scientist and therefore was not creative.” When I tell people I'm in a chemistry Ph. D. program, they often respond with something along the lines of, “I could never do that because I am more of the creative type.” At times I have internalized this misconception. I worried my way of thinking would’t fit in with “proper” scientists. In the end though, my desire to pursue a scientific career won out. I figured I would continue to find a way to balance my research with my creative pursuits. I started during my first year of grad school, when I served as a teacher's assistant for an analytical chemistry lab course. Todd, the professor leading the class, spotted me watching him fix glassware and offered to give me a lesson. I learned how to repair equipment as well as artistic glass blowing techniques. I felt like myself, enjoying my scientific studies while also satisfying my artistic side. But once I finished my teaching assistant duties, finding time for glass blowing became difficult and my research began to suffer. I had a hard time brainstorming innovative solutions. I needed a creative outlet to keep myself going; it just had to fit within my schedule. This was when I found pottery (陶艺), which I could pursue on evenings and weekends. After my first class, I was addicted. I keep a note book filled with doodles (乱涂) of cup designs inspired by my experiments. Through the challenge of distilling (提炼) my paper into its core concepts in such a way, I gained a better understanding of my project. Pottery has now turned into a way for me to train my brain to be creative. 40. What does the underlined part “this misconception” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Creativity and science conflict B. Personality tests are unscientific. C. Scientists are lacking in artistic talent. D. Pursuing a Ph. D. in chemistry is unwise. 41. How did the author feel during Todd’s class? A. Worried. B. Content. C. Confused. D. Shocked. 42. What happened after the author finished her teaching assistant duties? A. She found it hard to work with Todd. B. She rescheduled the glass blowing course. C. She noticed a decline in her blowing skills. D. She had a temporary setback in her research. 43. The author took up pottery in order to ________. A. meet new friends B. find peace of mind C. move ahead in her research D. pursue a career in it 44. What effect did pottery have on the author? A. It reminded her of the golden days at university. B. It motivated her to be a part-time designer. C. It enabled her to do experiments at night. D. It helped her think outside the box. 【答案】40. A 41. B 42. D 43. C 44. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过个人经历反驳了“科学与创造力对立”的误解。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的句子“I heard time and again that creative expression and science were contradictory. When my college roommate concluded with a personality test that I was the “creative” type, the rest of my friends said that couldn't be right, because "I was a scientist and therefore was not creative." When I tell people I'm in a chemistry Ph. D. program, they often respond with something along the lines of, “I could never do that because I am more of the creative type.”(我一次又一次地听到创造性表达和科学是矛盾的。当我的大学室友通过性格测试得出结论说我是“有创造力的”类型时，我的其他朋友都说那不可能是对的，因为“我是一个科学家，因此没有创造力。”当我告诉别人我在攻读化学博士学位时，他们的反应往往是：“我永远做不到，因为我更有创造力。”)”以及第二段的句子“I worried my way of thinking wouldn’t fit in with “proper” scientists.(我担心自己的思维方式与“正统的”科学家格格不入。)”可知，作者担心自己的思维方式与“正统的”科学家格格不入，肯定是受到第一段提到的“创造性表达和科学是矛盾的”观点的影响，所以划线短语this misconception指的是前文提到的错误观念“创造力与科学是矛盾的”。故选A项。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Todd, the professor leading the class, spotted me watching him fix glassware and offered to give me a lesson. I learned how to repair equipment as well as artistic glass blowing techniques. I felt like myself, enjoying my scientific studies while also satisfying my artistic side.(课程的负责人Todd教授注意到我在看他修理玻璃器皿，便提出要给我上一课。我学会了如何修理设备，还掌握了艺术玻璃吹制技巧。我感觉自己找回了自我，在享受科学研究的同时，也满足了我的艺术追求。)”可知，作者在Todd的课上感到很满足，既能享受科学研究，又能满足艺术方面的兴趣。故选B项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“But once I finished my teaching assistant duties, finding time for glass blowing became difficult and my research began to suffer. I had a hard time brainstorming innovative solutions.(但一旦我完成了助教工作，再找时间进行玻璃吹制就变得困难了，我的研究也因此受到了影响。我很难想出创新的解决方案。)”可知，作者在完成助教工作后，发现很难抽出时间进行玻璃吹制，她的研究也因此受到影响。故选D项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“I had a hard time brainstorming innovative solutions. I needed a creative outlet to keep myself going; it just had to fit within my schedule.(我很难想出创新的解决方案。我需要一个创造性的出口来保持自己的动力；它只需要适合我的时间表。)”和最后一段的句子“Pottery has now turned into a way for me to train my brain to be creative.(现在，陶艺已经成为我训练大脑创造力的一种方式。)”可知，作者开始学习陶艺是为了找到一个适合她的时间表的创造性出口，以帮助她在研究中保持创新。故选C项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Through the challenge of distilling my paper into its core concepts in such a way, I gained a better understanding of my project. Pottery has now turned into a way for me to train my brain to be creative.(通过以这种方式将我的论文提炼成核心概念的挑战，我对我的项目有了更好的理解。现在，陶艺已经成为我训练大脑创造力的一种方式。)”可知，陶艺帮助作者更好地理解她的研究项目，并训练她的大脑更具创造力。故选D项。 C The human sense of smell is often dismissed as unimportant, yet it makes our lives more vibrant, says Jones Olfson. There is something about wine experts that leads people the wrong way. Wine tasting has become the epitome (典型) of privileged individuals spending their days nose deep in a glass of swirling pinot noir (黑皮诺葡萄). This negative view of wine experts isn’t only misguided, but part of a general devaluation of our sense of smell. Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle wrote that “our sense of smell is not accurate but worse than many animals. For man smells poorly.” The human ability to smell is still thought of as weak. A UK survey showed it was seen as the least important of the senses, and about half of young adults would rather lose their sense of smell than their mobile phones. But humans are astute smellers, and smells affect our lives in profound ways! A decade ago, researchers discovered that humans can often detect odor molecules at a weaker concentration than non-human animals can, outperforming bats, monkeys, pigs, rats and others — really most other animals except dogs. Ethyl mercaptan (乙硫醇), a molecule added to natural gas so we can detect leaks, requires the equivalent of three drops in a space the size of an Olympic swimming pool for us to detect it — a concentration of 0.2 parts per billion. It is true that our sense of smell is different from our other senses. While our eyes are superb at performing visual analyses of the environment, the human sense of smell creates holistic (整体的) impressions of our surroundings, informed by all our senses. When we perceive a smell, we interpret it based also on what we hear. think, and feel. For example, a bright yellow color helps bring out the citrus aroma in a lemonade. Hunger or the bodily memory of an illness might create opposite reactions to the same food smell. These cross-sensory influences on our smell perceptions might seem a shortcoming,but my research has taught me to consider it as a feature, not a bug. My team recently discovered that the brain is especially engaged in making predictions about future smells, and when those predictions are violated by a surprising smell, several regions across the brain respond as if to an alert to re-evaluate what we are actually smelling. Wine experts are great at making smell predictions. A pale ruby-red might guide the expert to sniff for strawberry and mushroom, characteristic notes of a pinot noir. The sense of smell involved in natural environments where the senses have to work together to find potential food sources and remember the consequences of eating it. The expertise of wine tasters is fueled by their knowledge of sensory associations. Smells bind together impressions from all the senses, linking them to our internal states: hunger, excitement, anxiety. A lot of what we expect of the future. That is why anosmia (嗅觉缺失症), the loss of the ability to smell, which happened to millions during the covid-19 pandemic, often leaves people depressed, emotionally and socially disconnected from their partners, with a disrupted appetite and a lack of enjoyment from cating and drinking. They sometimes feel like they are detached from reality. Smell is as alive as our life more vividly, and far stronger than we know. For those of us who are fortunate to retain our sense of smell, learning about wines and new fragrances to expand our palate, and spending more time among the smells of nature, are excellent ways to cultivate our often-neglected intelligence. 45. According to the passage, what did Aristotle believe about the human sense of smell? A. It is weaker than that of marry animals. B. It is more accurate than that of many animals. C. It is the most important of all the senses. D. It is unrelated to human survival. 46. What’s the function of the example shown in Paragraph 4? A. To demonstrate dogs have the best sense of smell. B. To tell humans can smell better than all other animals except bats. C. To show humans can detect oil leaks better than dogs do D. To indicate human sense of smell has been much underestimated. 47. What is the main idea of the paragraph discussing the holistic nature of smell?. A. Smell creates impressions influenced by other senses, emotions, and memories. B. Human smell is inferior to vision in analyzing the environment. C. Smell is the most important sense for survival. D. Smell is unrelated to other sensory experiences. 48 What can be inferred about wine experts from the passage? A. They rely only on their sense of smell to identify wines. B. They have a weaker sense-of smell compared to the average person. C. They use cross - sensory knowledge, such as color, to predict and interpret smells. D. They are fess affected by anosmia than others. 49. How does the author describe the impact of anosmia on people’s lives in Paragraph 8? A. It improves their ability to focus on other senses. B. It makes people more dependent on their mobile phones. C. It leads to emotional and social disconnection, as well as a disrupted appetite. D. It enhances their enjoyment of food and drink. 50. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To criticize the overemphasis on visual and auditory senses. B. . To highlight the importance and complexity of the human sense of smell. C. To promote the use of smell training for anosmia patients. D. To compare human and animal olfactory abilities. 【答案】45. A 46. D 47. A 48. C 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人类嗅觉的重要性，反驳了人们通常认为嗅觉不重要的观点，并阐述了嗅觉对人类生活的影响以及嗅觉与其他感官的交互作用。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle wrote that “our sense of smell is not accurate but worse than many animals. For man smells poorly.(两千多年前，亚里士多德写道：“人类的嗅觉不够敏锐，比许多动物都差。人类的嗅觉很差。)”可知，亚里士多德认为人类的嗅觉不如许多动物敏锐。故选A。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“A decade ago, researchers discovered that humans can often detect odor molecules at a weaker concentration than non-human animals can, outperforming bats, monkeys, pigs, rats and others — really most other animals except dogs. Ethyl mercaptan(乙硫醇), a molecule added to natural gas so we can detect leaks, requires the equivalent of three drops in a space the size of an Olympic swimming pool for us to detect it — a concentration of 0.2 parts per billion.(十年前，研究人员发现，人类通常能检测到比其他动物更微弱浓度的气味分子，表现优于蝙蝠、猴子、猪、老鼠等——除狗之外，几乎胜过所有其他动物。以乙硫醇为例（这种分子被添加到天然气中以便我们检测泄漏），人类能在相当于一个奥林匹克游泳池大小的空间中检测到三滴乙硫醇的浓度——即十亿分之零点二的浓度。)”可知，作者通过乙硫醇的例子（人类能检测到十亿分之零点二浓度的气味分子），直接反驳了前文“人类嗅觉薄弱”的普遍观点，证明人类嗅觉其实非常敏锐。这一例子旨在说明人类嗅觉被严重低估。故选D。 【47题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“It is true that our sense of smell is different from our other senses. While our eyes are superb at performing visual analyses of the environment, the human sense of smell creates holistic(整体的) impressions of our surroundings, informed by all our senses. When we perceive a smell, we interpret it based also on what we hear. think, and feel. For example, a bright yellow color helps bring out the citrus aroma in a lemonade. Hunger or the bodily memory of an illness might create opposite reactions to the same food smell.(诚然，我们的嗅觉与其他感官不同。虽然我们的眼睛擅长对环境进行视觉分析，但人类的嗅觉会结合所有感官信息，形成对周围环境的整体印象。当我们感知到一种气味时，也会基于听觉、思维和感觉对其进行解读。例如，明亮的黄色会增强柠檬水的柑橘香气；饥饿感或对疾病的身体记忆，可能会对同一种食物的气味产生相反的反应。)”可知，第五段的核心在于阐述嗅觉的“整体性——嗅觉会结合听觉、思维、感觉等其他感官信息，以及饥饿、疾病记忆等情感和记忆，形成对气味的综合解读。例如，颜色会影响对气味的感知，身体状态会改变对同一种气味的反应。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第七段“Wine experts are great at making smell predictions. A pale ruby-red might guide the expert to sniff for strawberry and mushroom, characteristic notes of a pinot noir. The sense of smell involved in natural environments where the senses have to work together to find potential food sources and remember the consequences of eating it.(葡萄酒专家很擅长进行气味预测。浅宝石红色可能会引导专家去嗅闻草莓和蘑菇的香气——这些都是黑皮诺的典型特征。在自然环境中，嗅觉需要与其他感官协同工作，以寻找潜在的食物来源，并记住进食的后果。)”以及第八段“The expertise of wine tasters is fueled by their knowledge of sensory associations.(品酒师的专业知识源于他们对感官关联的了解。)”可知，葡萄酒专家通过浅宝石红色预测黑皮诺的草莓和蘑菇香气，体现了跨感官知识的运用。故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第八段“That is why anosmia(嗅觉缺失症), the loss of the ability to smell, which happened to millions during the covid - 19 pandemic, often leaves people depressed, emotionally and socially disconnected from their partners, with a disrupted appetite and a lack of enjoyment from cating and drinking.(这就是为什么嗅觉缺失症（新冠疫情期间数百万人受此困扰）往往会让人感到抑郁，在情感和社交上与伴侣疏离，食欲紊乱，无法从饮食中获得愉悦，甚至有时感觉与现实脱节。)”可知，作者明确指出嗅觉缺失会导致人们情绪和社交疏离、食欲紊乱。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者通过反驳“嗅觉不重要”的传统观点，引用研究数据、具体案例（如乙硫醇检测、葡萄酒专家的跨感官分析、嗅觉缺失的影响等），层层递进地论证了人类嗅觉的敏锐性、复杂性及其对生活的深远影响。核心目的是纠正人们对嗅觉的忽视，强调其重要性。故选B。 D There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language — all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we sec ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making, 51. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process, would ______. A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder B. grow up from his own achievements C. face difficulties and take up challenges D. aim high and reach his goal each time 52. Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing? A. Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges. B. Jane won the first prize in the speech competition. C. Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris D. Father’s salary rose from 5,000 to 7,000. 53. For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______. A. being curious about more changes B. being quick in self-adaptation C. having an open mind to new experiences D. staying away from failures and challenges 54. The underlined word “indecisive” can be replaced by ______. A. unable B. uncertain C. uneasy D. unkind 55. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. It is not so easy to measure personal growth. B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable. C. People’s willingness to face the unknown plays a neg give part in personal growth. D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up. 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了个人成长的两种视角 —— 结果导向和过程导向，强调成长过程中面对挑战、勇于尝试的重要性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. (这个过程并非道路本身，而是人们在面对新经历和意外困难时所秉持的态度与情感，以及他们的谨慎或勇气)”可知，把个人成长看作过程的人，在面对新的经历和意想不到的困难时，会有谨慎或勇气等态度和感受，即他们会面对困难并接受挑战。故选C项。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. (相比之下，个人成长的过程则更难衡量，因为这是一段旅程，而不是沿途特定的路标或里程碑)”可知，A选项 “Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges. (我们的经理总是愿意接受新的挑战)”描述了一个人愿意接受新挑战的态度，这符合个人成长过程中不断面对新经历和困难的特点。故选A项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. (为了成长，为了走新的路，人们需要有冒险的意愿，面对未知，并接受一开始可能会“失败”的可能性)”可知，D选项“staying away from failures and challenges (远离失败和挑战)”与作者的观点相悖，因为作者认为人们需要面对失败和挑战才能成长。故选D项。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Do we think we’re shy and indecisive?(我们是否认为自己害羞且indecisive？)”以及后文“Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly (那么，我们的恐惧感会使我们犹豫不决，行动迟缓)”可推知，划线词indecisive应与uncertain意思相近，表示“犹豫不决的，不确定的”。故选B项。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. (为了成长，为了踏上新的道路，人们需要有愿意冒险、面对未知以及接受自己起初可能会“失败”的可能性)”可知，人们面对未知的意愿在个人成长中起着积极作用，而不是消极作用。C选项“People’s willingness to face the unknown plays a neg give part in personal growth. (人们面对未知的意愿在个人成长中起着消极的作用)”与此表述不符。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共45分） IV.（1 point each,10 points in total） Fill in the blanks using the correct form.

The daughter impatiently wondered what he was trying to do. In half an hour he walked over to the stove and turned down the fire.He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl.He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl.Then he ladled（盛）the coffee out and placed it in a cup.Turning to her he asked.“Darling what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee.”she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.She did and noted that they were soft.He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled ege. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee.She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma（芳香）. Humbly, she asked.“What does it mean Father?” He explained.“Each of them faced the same adversity,however each reacted differently.The carrot went in strong, hard.But after going through boiling water, it softened and became weak.The egg was fragile.A thin outer shell protected a liquid center.But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The coffee beans are unique however.After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water” “Which are you,”he asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do yourespond?
