At the next year’s competition, I painted from ____28____ rather than photos. While arranging the composition, I deliberately left ____29____ spaces where viewers’ imaginations could wander.

Now teaching teenagers, I share Mrs. Wilson’s ____32____. Last Thursday, a talented student ____33____, “My sunflowers look dull.” I handed her seeds instead of brushes. “Watch how they ____34____ sunlight first.” Her final painting vibrated (颤动) with life.

第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Whether it’s good health, a prosperous career or to be lucky in love, certain fountains, statues, and traditions are linked with good fortune in some tourist attractions. While these practices are seen as cultural expressions rather than guarantees of wish fulfillment, many visitors enjoy participating just as a way to express good wishes.
Fountain of Wealth, Suntec City, Singapore
Listed by the Guinness Book of Records in 1998 as the largest fountain in the world, the Fountain of Wealth is located in one of Singapore’s largest shopping malls, Suntec City. The fountain is said to be rich in positive energy, which visitors can absorb by touching the water. The fountain is turned off periodically throughout the year, giving visitors the chance to walk around the fountain and collect coins, which are believed to possess charm and good luck.
Abraham Lincoln’s Tomb, Illinois, USA
The final resting place of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln’s tomb is decorated with statues, but none is quite as famous as the large bronze statue in front of the memorial. About 200,000 people visit the tomb each year, many rubbing Abraham’s nose. Some believe that rubbing the nose of any statue brings good luck, and with the nose of a person successful enough to become the president within arm’s reach, it makes sense that people take advantage.
Blarney Stone, Cork, Ireland
They don’t call it the luck of the Irish for nothing! Legend has it that kissing the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle in Cork, Ireland will bring you “the gift of speech or debate”. Sir Winston Churchill and Mick Jagger have both reportedly made their luck at this very site. However, it’s not easy to kiss this stone of eloquence. Visitors must lean backward over a parapet (护栏).
The Guardhouse Monkey, Mons, Belgium
Located just outside of the Mons City Hall in Belgium, a small metal monkey has become a big attraction. Legend has it that if you rub the sculpture’s head, you’ll be blessed with good luck. The monkey’s head has been rubbed so many times in hopes of fulfilling people’ wishes that its head is now shiny.
36. Which statement is TRUE about Fountain of Wealth?
A. It has held the title of the world’s tallest fountain since 1998.
B. Visitors can only admire the fountain after they shop in Suntec City.
C. It is said that touching the water of the fountain is beneficial for visitors.
D. Visitors can walk around the fountain and collect coins when it is operating.
37. What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln according to Paragraph 3?
A. He passed away in the 16th century.
B. He designed the decoration of the statue.
C. His statue was badly damaged by visitors.
D. He was a president and admired by people.
38. The underlined word “eloquence” in the passage refers to ______.
A. the spirit of passing down traditions
B. the luck of winning competitions
C. the ability to speak in a fluent and persuasive way
D. the skill of leaning backward over the parapet
39. What has caused the Guardhouse Monkey’s head to become shiny?
A. Being located just outside of the Mons City Hall in Belgium.
B. Having been rubbed repeatedly by visitors seeking good luck.
C. Being made of a spcial metal that naturally becomes polished.
D. Being exposed to years of weather and sunshine.
40. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A travel magazine.

B
It was supposed to be an exciting adventure with my best friend Josh. We were hiking when the disaster struck. A boulder (巨石) suddenly shifted and crushed my leg beneath it. Extreme pain shot through my body. “Josh! Help!” I screamed, my voice trembling with panic.
Josh reacted instantly. But no matter what he tried the boulder didn’t show the slightest movement. “Hold on! We’ll get help!” He said, grabbing his phone. He called emergency services and told the operator where we were. But we were kilometers from the nearest road, too far for rescue team to reach soon.
The hours passed slowly. The boulder hadn’t just crushed me, but it had knocked over almost all the water we carried. As the sun went down, the temperature dropped to near freezing. I trembled uncontrollably and sank into despair, but Josh kept encouraging me firmly. “Don’t lose hope!” He said, “We’ll get through this!” He gathered all the clothing he’d brought and piled them onto me. Then he collected wood and built a small fire, keeping it burning while we waited under the black, starless sky. Just when I thought we might not survive the night, the glow of rescuers’ headlamps appeared on the distant hillside.
The rescuers came on foot, driving to the closest spot they could find and then hiking in. Burdened by enormous packs and heavy tools, they moved through the darkness — every step a risk. Seeing the rescuers face to face allowed me to relax. After I’d been trapped for about five hours, they managed to pull my leg out from under the boulder.
But they delivered discouraging news: it was too dangerous to take me off the mountain in the dark. We must wait for the helicopter. Soon, I heard the distant sound of a helicopter. But despair returned when it flew away without stopping. Watching it disappear behind the hills, I feared my last hope was gone.
However, the rescue team never gave up, working tirelessly. They kept trying until finding a Navy helicopter crew brave enough to attempt our dangerous night-time rescue. The helicopter rushed me to the hospital, where doctors saved my life after multiple surgeries.
During my recovery, I had plenty of time to reflect. I was deeply grateful to everyone who not only gave me a second chance at life but also inspired me a lot. Their perseverance lighted my way through challenges. Three months after the accident. I found myself standing on the hiking trail once again, which was extremely tough for me. At one point, I wanted to stop. But I didn’t. I took another step. Then another. I would go slow, but I would keep going.
41. What did Josh do after the disaster had struck?
A. He continuously tried to move the boulder.
B. He left to find the nearest road for help.
C He built a shelter to keep the author warm.
D. He gave first aid to the author’s injured leg.

B. had to hike with heavy equipment
C. felt relaxed after relieving the author’s leg
D. came along with a medical team
44. What can we infer from the helicopter’s first attempt?

C
Zero has had an amazing journey through history. Ancient Greek thinkers like Aristotle didn’t believe zero could exist — they thought “nothing” wasn’t a real concept. Meanwhile in India, mathematicians were already using zero as a real number. Surprisingly, Europe was very slow to accept zero — for hundreds of years, many Europeans thought it was dangerous or even evil! It was only when businesses started using zero in their accounting systems that people finally saw how useful it could be. Later, zero became essential for important scientific discoveries like calculus (微积分).
Why was zero so controversial? The answer lies in how we think. Numbers like 1,2, or 3 are easy because we can see and count one apple, two dogs, three books. But zero represents nothing at all, which makes it harder to understand. As one philosopher joked, “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish!” Even children find zero confusing. Scientists have found that babies can notice simple math errors (like 2+1=4), but they don’t react when things completely disappear (like 2-2=0). This shows that understanding zero requires abstract thinking.
But is this difficulty just a matter of learning — or does it reflect something deeper in our brain’s design? Scientists have discovered special brain cells that only respond to “nothing” — they call these“zero neurons”. Some of these cells only activate (激活) when there’s truly nothing there, while others respond in order — strongest for zero, then less for one, even less for two, and so on. This suggests that our brains treat zero as a unique concept and may place it at the very start of our mental number line. Interestingly, when humans see the symbol “0”, brain scans show activation in areas also responsible for perceiving physical emptiness. These findings imply that our understanding of zero may be rooted in the brain’s mechanisms for detecting absence — not presence.
This connection between zero and absence raises deeper questions about how our minds process “nothing”. In daily life, we’re much better at noticing what’s there than what’s missing. For example, spotting extra letters in a sentence is easier than noticing missing ones. Yet absence still matters: a friend who doesn’t show up, a puzzle piece that’s gone. This kind of awareness demands more cognitive (认知的) effort and may rely on the same brain systems that process zero. In this way, the once-feared idea of zero may help us explore not just mathematics — but the nature of consciousness itself.
46. How did zero eventually gain acceptance in Europe after facing initial resistance?
A. Through theoretical arguments by mathematicians.
B. By proving its practical value in business accounting.
C. Through formal recognition by some religious leaders.
D. By showing its necessity for scientific discoveries.
47. Why does the author mention “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish” in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain how businesses refused to use zero.
B. To demonstrate the difficulty in understanding zero.
C. To highlight cultural differences in understanding numbers.
D. To show the humor in abstract philosophical debate.
48. The term “zero neurons” in Paragraph 3 might refer to ______.
A. special cells that activate only for nothingness
B. brain cells that respond to numbers equally
C. neurons responsible for counting objects
D. cells that process mathematical symbols
49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mathematics is the key to understanding the mind.
B. Consciousness studies will replace mathematical models.
C. The brain normally avoids processing things that are not present.
D. Studying zero may uncover deeper truths about human awareness.
50. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Mathematical Evolution B. How Brain Processes Mathematics
C. Zero’s Journey Through Human Brain D. A Scientific Study of Children
D
“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise (前提) of progress.” These profound words by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan capture the trans formative power of knowledge. When combined with effort, knowledge drives both personal growth and social advancement. Then, what does meaningful knowledge acquisition look like in today’s world?
Formal education provides the foundation of knowledge. Schools equip us with the basic skills needed for personal and intellectual growth — reading, writing and critical thinking. More importantly, they teach us how to learn. For instance, many schools now include hands-on projects, such as recycling programs, where students apply science to address real-world issues. One such example is Sarah, a student who, inspired by her classroom learning, initiated a recycling program that successfully collected over 500kg of plastic in just three months. This shows how education can bring about real change when knowledge is applied creatively.
However, classroom learning alone isn’t enough. Real-world experience adds depth and perspective to textbook knowledge. I recall my first coastal cleanup with NOAA researchers — an eye-opening experience that allowed me to witness firsthand the disastrous effects of plastic pollution on marine life. Similarly, working with sustainable farmers taught me practical solutions that no textbook could fully capture. These experiences transformed abstract concepts into real-world understanding and deepened my commitment to environmental work. As the saying goes, “Experience is the best teacher” — it tests our knowledge and shows us how to use it effectively.
Perhaps the most underestimated source of knowledge is the people around us. Every individual we meet carries unique experiences and insights. My grandmother, though not formally educated, taught me profound lessons about sustainability through her simple practices of reusing and repairing items. Human connections remind us that knowledge isn’t just found in books— it lives in stories, traditions, and everyday interactions.
In an era of unprecedented (前所未有的) global challenges, the approaches to gaining knowledge aren’t just helpful — they’re essential. The students learning about plastic recycling today ‘might become the environmental scientists of tomorrow. The lessons we gain from personal experiences shape how we tackle problems. The wisdom we share through human connections builds stronger, more innovative societies.
51. Why does the author quote Kofi Annan at the beginning?
A. To present a historical case.
B. To criticize outdated views.
C. To make a comparison.
D. To introduce the topic.
52. What does the author suggest about formal education?
A. It’s foundational but fails to meet modern challenges.
B. It needs real-world application to make an impact.
C. It focuses too much on memorization over creativity.
D. It’s the most trusted source of knowledge in today’s world.
53. According to the author what does working with NOAA researchers indicate?
A. Where the advantages of classroom learning lie.
B. What the benefits of government support are.
C. Why marine biology is crucial.
D. How experience deepens understanding.
54. Which of the following best illustrates the author’s view on knowledge sharing?
A. A researcher documenting discoveries in private journals.
B. A professor withdrawing research data for no reason.
C. Classmates debating environmental solutions.
D. Students repeatedly reciting textbook content.
55. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the significance of knowledge in shaping basic life skills
B the reason why experience outweighs classroom learning
C. the key to solving unprecedented global challenges
D. the various ways knowledge is acquired in today’s society

For seven months, the dark-haired violinist at the 34th Street subway station had been just part of my morning background noise. His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words.
The morning when everything changed began ordinarily enough — another rainy March day, another hurried commute. As I mechanically dropped a dollar into his open case, his bow suddenly stilled. “Excuse me,” he said with a mild Eastern European accent. “Your right shoelace…”
I glanced down to see the lace untied and covered in mud. When I bent down to retie it, the musician knelt beside me, his violin momentarily forgotten. “Dangcrous in crowds,” he remarked, demonstrating a double-knot technique. In that awkward position, I finally noticed the Budapest Academy of Music pin (别针) fastened inside his instrument case.
“Thank you...?” I hesitated, realizing I’d never learned his name.
“László,” he supplied, then surprised me by asking, “You always walk so fast. To where?” That simple question revamped my routine. As trains came and went, we talked — about his transition from concert halls to subway platforms after moving to America, about my grandmother’s Hungarian (匈牙利的) heritage. When he played “Szomorú Vasárnap” in recognition of our shared roots, the familiar melody stopped me mid-step. I was thrilled by the break from my dull routine.
Now my commute includes scheduled pauses. On Mondays, I bring László fresh violin strings from the music store near my office. On Thursdays, he brings me a copy of the Hungarian newspaper he reads. What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places.
Sometimes, when latecomers rush past our conversations, I see my former self in their hurried steps. They don’t know what they’re missing — the subway’s best musician won’t call after them about untied laces. That privilege belongs only to those who finally stop moving long enough to listen.

A
Whether it’s good health, a prosperous career or to be lucky in love, certain fountains, statues, and traditions are linked with good fortune in some tourist attractions. While these practices are seen as cultural expressions rather than guarantees of wish fulfillment, many visitors enjoy participating just as a way to express good wishes.
Fountain of Wealth, Suntec City, Singapore
Listed by the Guinness Book of Records in 1998 as the largest fountain in the world, the Fountain of Wealth is located in one of Singapore’s largest shopping malls, Suntec City. The fountain is said to be rich in positive energy, which visitors can absorb by touching the water. The fountain is turned off periodically throughout the year, giving visitors the chance to walk around the fountain and collect coins, which are believed to possess charm and good luck.
Abraham Lincoln’s Tomb, Illinois, USA
The final resting place of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln’s tomb is decorated with statues, but none is quite as famous as the large bronze statue in front of the memorial. About 200,000 people visit the tomb each year, many rubbing Abraham’s nose. Some believe that rubbing the nose of any statue brings good luck, and with the nose of a person successful enough to become the president within arm’s reach, it makes sense that people take advantage.
Blarney Stone, Cork, Ireland
They don’t call it the luck of the Irish for nothing! Legend has it that kissing the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle in Cork, Ireland will bring you “the gift of speech or debate”. Sir Winston Churchill and Mick Jagger have both reportedly made their luck at this very site. However, it’s not easy to kiss this stone of eloquence. Visitors must lean backward over a parapet (护栏).
The Guardhouse Monkey, Mons, Belgium
Located just outside of the Mons City Hall in Belgium, a small metal monkey has become a big attraction. Legend has it that if you rub the sculpture’s head, you’ll be blessed with good luck. The monkey’s head has been rubbed so many times in hopes of fulfilling people’ wishes that its head is now shiny.
36. Which statement is TRUE about Fountain of Wealth?
A. It has held the title of the world’s tallest fountain since 1998.
B. Visitors can only admire the fountain after they shop in Suntec City.
C. It is said that touching the water of the fountain is beneficial for visitors.
D. Visitors can walk around the fountain and collect coins when it is operating.
37. What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln according to Paragraph 3?
A. He passed away in the 16th century.
B. He designed the decoration of the statue.
C. His statue was badly damaged by visitors.
D. He was a president and admired by people.
38. The underlined word “eloquence” in the passage refers to ______.
A. the spirit of passing down traditions
B. the luck of winning competitions
C. the ability to speak in a fluent and persuasive way
D. the skill of leaning backward over the parapet
39. What has caused the Guardhouse Monkey’s head to become shiny?
A. Being located just outside of the Mons City Hall in Belgium.
B. Having been rubbed repeatedly by visitors seeking good luck.
C. Being made of a spcial metal that naturally becomes polished.
D. Being exposed to years of weather and sunshine.
40. Where is the passage most probably taken from?

【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据Abraham Lincoln’s Tomb部分中“The final resting place of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln’s tomb is decorated with statues, but none is quite as famous as the large bronze statue in front of the memorial. About 200,000 people visit the tomb each year (作为美国第16任总统亚伯拉罕·林肯的最后安息之地,林肯墓上装饰着雕像,但没有一个像纪念碑前的大型青铜雕像那样著名。每年约有20万人参观坟墓)”可知,林肯是一位总统,受到人们的敬仰,故选D。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Legend has it that kissing the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle in Cork, Ireland will bring you ‘the gift of speech or debate’.(传说,亲吻爱尔兰科克郡布拉尼城堡的布拉尼石会给你带来‘演讲或辩论的礼物’)”可知,传说亲吻这块石头,口才会变好,由此推知划线词所在句意为“然而,要亲吻这块雄辩之石并不容易”,eloquence意为“口才,雄辩”,C项“流利而有说服力的说话能力”符合题意,故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Guardhouse Monkey部分中“The monkey’s head has been rubbed so many times in hopes of fulfilling people’ wishes that its head is now shiny.(为了满足人们的愿望,这只猴子的头被揉了很多次,现在它的头闪闪发光)”可知,由于被寻求好运的游客反复摩擦,卫兵猴的头变得闪闪发光,故选B。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“Whether it’s good health, a prosperous career or to be lucky in love, certain fountains, statues, and traditions are linked with good fortune in some tourist attractions. While these practices are seen as cultural expressions rather than guarantees of wish fulfillment, many visitors enjoy participating just as a way to express good wishes.(在一些旅游景点,无论是健康、事业有成还是爱情幸运,某些喷泉、雕像和传统都与好运有关。虽然这些做法被视为一种文化表达,而不是愿望实现的保证,但许多游客喜欢参与其中,只是作为表达美好愿望的一种方式)”可知,文章介绍了一些具有和好运有关的喷泉、雕像或传统的景点,应是出自一个旅游杂志,故选A。
B
It was supposed to be an exciting adventure with my best friend Josh. We were hiking when the disaster struck. A boulder (巨石) suddenly shifted and crushed my leg beneath it. Extreme pain shot through my body. “Josh! Help!” I screamed, my voice trembling with panic.
Josh reacted instantly. But no matter what he tried, the boulder didn’t show the slightest movement. “Hold on! We’ll get help!” He said, grabbing his phone. He called emergency services and told the operator where we were. But we were kilometers from the nearest road, too far for rescue team to reach soon.
The hours passed slowly. The boulder hadn’t just crushed me, but it had knocked over almost all the water we carried. As the sun went down, the temperature dropped to near freezing. I trembled uncontrollably and sank into despair, but Josh kept encouraging me firmly. “Don’t lose hope!” He said, “We’ll get through this!” He gathered all the clothing he’d brought and piled them onto me. Then he collected wood and built a small fire, keeping it burning while we waited under the black, starless sky. Just when I thought we might not survive the night, the glow of rescuers’ headlamps appeared on the distant hillside.
The rescuers came on foot, driving to the closest spot they could find and then hiking in. Burdened by enormous packs and heavy tools, they moved through the darkness — every step a risk. Seeing the rescuers face to face allowed me to relax. After I’d been trapped for about five hours, they managed to pull my leg out from under the boulder.
But they delivered discouraging news: it was too dangerous to take me off the mountain in the dark. We must wait for the helicopter. Soon, I heard the distant sound of a helicopter. But despair returned when it flew away without stopping. Watching it disappear behind the hills, I feared my last hope was gone.
However, the rescue team never gave up, working tirelessly. They kept trying until finding a Navy helicopter crew brave enough to attempt our dangerous night-time rescue. The helicopter rushed me to the hospital, where doctors saved my life after multiple surgeries.
During my recovery, I had plenty of time to reflect. I was deeply grateful to everyone who not only gave me a second chance at life but also inspired me a lot. Their perseverance lighted my way through challenges. Three months after the accident. I found myself standing on the hiking trail once again, which was extremely tough for me. At one point, I wanted to stop. But I didn’t. I took another step. Then another. I would go slow, but I would keep going.
41. What did Josh do after the disaster had struck?
A. He continuously tried to move the boulder.
B. He left to find the nearest road for help.
C. He built a shelter to keep the author warm.
D. He gave first aid to the author’s injured leg.
42. What difficulty did the author experience while waiting for rescue?
A. Losing consciousness due to extreme pain and blood loss.
B. Losing all drinking water supplies for the entire night.
C. Suffering from extreme cold as the temperature dropped.
D. Being unable to contact emergency services directly.
43. During the rescue operation, the rescuers ______.
A. reached the accident site at once
B. had to hike with heavy equipment
C. felt relaxed after relieving the author’s leg
D. came along with a medical team
44. What can we infer from the helicopter’s first attempt?
A. The situation was too dangerous for the night-time rescue.
B. The helicopter couldn’t land safely due to the bad weather.
C. The author’s injuries were too severe to be moved by air.
D. The pilot failed to locate them in the darkness.
45. The author writes the text mainly to _____.

【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“But they delivered discouraging news: it was too dangerous to take me off the mountain in the dark. (但他们带来了令人沮丧的消息:在黑暗中把我从山上救下来太危险了。)”可知,直升机第一次尝试救援时没有停下来,是因为夜间救援太危险了。故选A项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了作者经历事故被困,在救援人员和朋友帮助下最终获救的故事。再结合最后一段最后三句“But I didn’t. I took another step. Then another. I would go slow, but I would keep going. (但我没有。我又迈出了一步。接着又一步。我会走得很慢,但我会继续前进。)”可知,作者在康复后决定重新踏上徒步小径,尽管过程艰难,但他没有放弃,而是继续前行。由此可推知,作者写这篇文章主要是为了提醒读者无论遇到什么困难都不要放弃。故选D项。
C
Zero has had an amazing journey through history. Ancient Greek thinkers like Aristotle didn’t believe zero could exist — they thought “nothing” wasn’t a real concept. Meanwhile in India, mathematicians were already using zero as a real number. Surprisingly, Europe was very slow to accept zero — for hundreds of years, many Europeans thought it was dangerous or even evil! It was only when businesses started using zero in their accounting systems that people finally saw how useful it could be. Later, zero became essential for important scientific discoveries like calculus (微积分).
Why was zero so controversial? The answer lies in how we think. Numbers like 1,2, or 3 are easy because we can see and count one apple, two dogs, three books. But zero represents nothing at all, which makes it harder to understand. As one philosopher joked, “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish!” Even children find zero confusing. Scientists have found that babies can notice simple math errors (like 2+1=4), but they don’t react when things completely disappear (like 2-2=0). This shows that understanding zero requires abstract thinking.
But is this difficulty just a matter of learning — or does it reflect something deeper in our brain’s design? Scientists have discovered special brain cells that only respond to “nothing” — they call these“zero neurons”. Some of these cells only activate (激活) when there’s truly nothing there, while others respond in order — strongest for zero, then less for one, even less for two, and so on. This suggests that our brains treat zero as a unique concept and may place it at the very start of our mental number line. Interestingly, when humans see the symbol “0”, brain scans show activation in areas also responsible for perceiving physical emptiness. These findings imply that our understanding of zero may be rooted in the brain’s mechanisms for detecting absence — not presence.
This connection between zero and absence raises deeper questions about how our minds process “nothing”. In daily life, we’re much better at noticing what’s there than what’s missing. For example, spotting extra letters in a sentence is easier than noticing missing ones. Yet absence still matters: a friend who doesn’t show up, a puzzle piece that’s gone. This kind of awareness demands more cognitive (认知的) effort and may rely on the same brain systems that process zero. In this way, the once-feared idea of zero may help us explore not just mathematics — but the nature of consciousness itself.
46. How did zero eventually gain acceptance in Europe after facing initial resistance?
A. Through theoretical arguments by mathematicians.
B. By proving its practical value in business accounting.
C. Through formal recognition by some religious leaders.
D. By showing its necessity for scientific discoveries.
47. Why does the author mention “Nobody goes to the store to buy zero fish” in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain how businesses refused to use zero.
B. To demonstrate the difficulty in understanding zero.
C. To highlight cultural differences in understanding numbers.
D. To show the humor in abstract philosophical debate.
48. The term “zero neurons” in Paragraph 3 might refer to ______.
A. special cells that activate only for nothingness
B. brain cells that respond to numbers equally
C. neurons responsible for counting objects
D. cells that process mathematical symbols
49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mathematics is the key to understanding the mind.
B. Consciousness studies will replace mathematical models.
C. The brain normally avoids processing things that are not present.
D. Studying zero may uncover deeper truths about human awareness.
50. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Mathematical Evolution B. How Brain Processes Mathematics
C. Zero’s Journey Through Human Brain D. A Scientific Study of Children

“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise (前提) of progress.” These profound words by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan capture the trans formative power of knowledge. When combined with effort, knowledge drives both personal growth and social advancement. Then, what does meaningful knowledge acquisition look like in today’s world?
Formal education provides the foundation of knowledge. Schools equip us with the basic skills needed for personal and intellectual growth — reading, writing and critical thinking. More importantly, they teach us how to learn. For instance, many schools now include hands-on projects, such as recycling programs, where students apply science to address real-world issues. One such example is Sarah, a student who, inspired by her classroom learning, initiated a recycling program that successfully collected over 500kg of plastic in just three months. This shows how education can bring about real change when knowledge is applied creatively.
However, classroom learning alone isn’t enough. Real-world experience adds depth and perspective to textbook knowledge. I recall my first coastal cleanup with NOAA researchers — an eye-opening experience that allowed me to witness firsthand the disastrous effects of plastic pollution on marine life. Similarly, working with sustainable farmers taught me practical solutions that no textbook could fully capture. These experiences transformed abstract concepts into real-world understanding and deepened my commitment to environmental work. As the saying goes, “Experience is the best teacher” — it tests our knowledge and shows us how to use it effectively.
Perhaps the most underestimated source of knowledge is the people around us. Every individual we meet carries unique experiences and insights. My grandmother though not formally educated, taught me profound lessons about sustainability through her simple practices of reusing and repairing items. Human connections remind us that knowledge isn’t just found in books— it lives in stories, traditions, and everyday interactions.
In an era of unprecedented (前所未有的) global challenges, the approaches to gaining knowledge aren’t just helpful — they’re essential. The students learning about plastic recycling today ‘might become the environmental scientists of tomorrow. The lessons we gain from personal experiences shape how we tackle problems. The wisdom we share through human connections builds stronger, more innovative societies.
51. Why does the author quote Kofi Annan at the beginning?
A. To present a historical case.
B. To criticize outdated views.
C. To make a comparison.
D. To introduce the topic.
52. What does the author suggest about formal education?
A. It’s foundational but fails to meet modern challenges.
B. It needs real-world application to make an impact.
C. It focuses too much on memorization over creativity.
D. It’s the most trusted source of knowledge in today’s world.
53. According to the author, what does working with NOAA researchers indicate?
A. Where the advantages of classroom learning lie.
B. What the benefits of government support are.
C. Why marine biology is crucial.
D. How experience deepens understanding.
54. Which of the following best illustrates the author’s view on knowledge sharing?
A. A researcher documenting discoveries in private journals.
B. A professor withdrawing research data for no reason.
C. Classmates debating environmental solutions.
D. Students repeatedly reciting textbook content.
55. The passage is mainly about ______.

阅读表达
For seven months, the dark-haired violinist at the 34th Street subway station had been just part of my morning background noise. His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words.
The morning when everything changed began ordinarily enough — another rainy March day, another hurried commute. As I mechanically dropped a dollar into his open case, his bow suddenly stilled. “Excuse me,” he said with a mild Eastern European accent. “Your right shoelace…”
I glanced down to see the lace untied and covered in mud. When I bent down to retie it, the musician knelt beside me, his violin momentarily forgotten. “Dangcrous in crowds,” he remarked, demonstrating a double-knot technique. In that awkward position, I finally noticed the Budapest Academy of Music pin (别针) fastened inside his instrument case.
“Thank you...?” I hesitated, realizing I’d never learned his name.
“László,” he supplied, then surprised me by asking, “You always walk so fast. To where?” That simple question revamped my routine. As trains came and went, we talked — about his transition from concert halls to subway platforms after moving to America, about my grandmother’s Hungarian (匈牙利的) heritage. When he played “Szomorú Vasárnap” in recognition of our shared roots, the familiar melody stopped me mid-step. I was thrilled by the break from my dull routine.
Now my commute includes scheduled pauses. On Mondays, I bring László fresh violin strings from the music store near my office. On Thursdays, he brings me a copy of the Hungarian newspaper he reads. What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places.
Sometimes, when latecomers rush past our conversations, I see my former self in their hurried steps. They don’t know what they’re missing — the subway’s best musician won’t call after them about untied laces. That privilege belongs only to those who finally stop moving long enough to listen.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述作者以前在地铁站路过一位小提琴手时都是放下零钱,从不交谈,有一次那位小提琴手提醒作者鞋带松了,之后两人开始交谈,这也改变了作者的习惯,并和小提琴手建立了友谊。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words.(他精确的Vivaldi表演与火车广播和我赶去会计工作时发出的咔哒声混在一起,我偶尔会掉零钱,但从不说话)”可知,作者以前经过那位小提琴手时放下零钱,但从未说过一句话,故答案是The author dropped change but never exchanged words/ said anything.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“As I mechanically dropped a dollar into his open case, his bow suddenly stilled. ‘Excuse me,’ he said with a mild Eastern European accent. ‘Your right shoelace…’(我机械地往他打开的箱子里扔了一美元,他的弓突然停住了。‘对不起,’他带着轻微的东欧口音说。‘你右边的鞋带……’)”可知,因为小提琴手提醒作者鞋带松了,所以作者停下来和他说话,故答案是Because the violinist warned the author of the untied/ loose shoelace.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第一段中“His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words.(他精确的Vivaldi表演与火车广播和我赶去会计工作时发出的咔哒声混在一起,我偶尔会掉零钱,但从不说话)”和划线词后“As trains came and went, we talked — about his transition from concert halls to subway platforms after moving to America, about my grandmother’s Hungarian (匈牙利的) heritage.(火车进进出出的时候,我们聊了聊他搬到美国后从音乐厅到地铁站台的转变,聊我祖母的匈牙利血统)”可知,作者以前从未和小提琴手说过话,后文提到他们聊了很多,作者原来的习惯被打破了,由此推知划线词所在句意为“这个简单的问题打破(或改变或中断)了我的习惯”,故答案是Broke./ Changed./ Interrupted.
【59题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第六段“Now my commute includes scheduled pauses. On Mondays, I bring László fresh violin strings from the music store near my office. On Thursdays, he brings me a copy of the Hungarian newspaper he reads. What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places.(现在我的通勤包括了安排好的休息。每周一,我从办公室附近的乐器店买László新鲜的小提琴弦。每周四,他都会给我带来一份他读的匈牙利报纸。最初的鞋带警告已经发展成为一件了不起的事情——证明在城市生活的机械匆忙之下,人与人之间的联系仍然在最不可能的地方蓬勃发展)”可知,本段主要讲述作者的日常生活发生了变化,与László建立了友谊,故答案为They developed friendship. Or: They had more connections after the accidental meeting. Or: The author’s routine changed, leading to meaningful connections with László.
【60题详解】
考查开放题型。本题是开放题型,答案合理即可。根据全文内容,结合倒数第二段中“What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places.(最初的鞋带警告已经发展成为一件了不起的事情——证明在城市生活的机械匆忙之下,人与人之间的联系仍然在最不可能的地方蓬勃发展)”和最后一段“Sometimes, when latecomers rush past our conversations, I see my former self in their hurried steps. They don’t know what they’re missing — the subway’s best musician won’t call after them about untied laces. That privilege belongs only to those who finally stop moving long enough to listen.(有时,当迟到的人匆匆走过我们的谈话时,我在他们匆忙的脚步中看到了以前的自己。他们不知道他们错过了什么——地铁里最好的音乐家不会在他们身后打电话说鞋带松了。这种特权只属于那些最终停下来倾听的人)”可知,作者的故事给我的启发是,深刻的联系往往始于简单的关注行为,我们应该放慢脚步,与他人建立联系,故答案是(Open) One possible answer: It inspires me that profound connections often begin with simple acts of attention and we should slow down to make bonds with others.

Dear teachers and fellow students,
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you for listening!
【答案】Dear teachers and fellow students,
I’m LiJin. It’s my great honor to stand here to talk about the importance of self-discipline and how it leads to progress. Self-discipline means controlling impulses and staying focused on our goals. For students, it’s of vital significance. Without self-discipline, even the most talented person may fail to achieve their dreams.
In our daily lives, we can find many inspiring examples. My friend Zhang Ming used to struggle with maths. Last semester, he set a strict study schedule for himself on a daily basis. He stuck to the plan for three months and his academic performance in math improved dramatically. His secret wasn’t talent — it was consistency. His motto was “Small efforts, repeated daily, create miracles”.
Dear classmates progress isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, even when it’s hard. Let’s start cultivating self-discipline today. We can set small goals, resist distractions and celebrate small wins. Together, we can achieve excellence through perseverance.
Thank you for listening!
