Off-roading driving adventure on 85,000 acres of hills of sand in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship. When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl!” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in playing tricks on me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The brother-sister relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, who used to be a bit mean to me, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding?” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, delicate. As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in. 41. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph? A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste. B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship. C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew. D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood. 42. What did the author think of Matthew in her childhood? A. He was admiring. B. He was lonely. C He was easy-going. D. He was annoying. 43. How did the author feel when hearing Matthew’s invitation? A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Honored. D. Hesitant. 44. What was Matthew’s reaction when the author was left out of the family event? A. He tried to find out the real reason. B. He was a little angry but said nothing. C. He understood and accepted the fact. D. He accompanied her to dine elsewhere. 45. What did the author realize about her brother after the accident? A. He was different from her. B. He was not physically strong. C. He also needed protection. D. He depended much on her. C Chimpanzees (黑猩猩), human beings’ closet animal relatives, share up to 98% of our genes. Yet humans and chimpanzees lead very different lives. Fewer than 300,000 wild chimpanzees live in a few forested corners of Africa today, while humans have dominated every corner of the globe. At more than 7 billion, human population surpasses that of nearly all other mammals — despite our physical weaknesses. What could account for our species’ incredible evolutionary success? One obvious answer is our big brains. It could be that our raw intelligence gave us an extraordinary ability to think outside the box, innovating solutions to tough problems as people migrated across the globe. But a growing number of cognitive scientists and anthropologists are rejecting that explanation. They think that, rather than making our living as innovators, we survive and thrive precisely because we don’t think for ourselves. Instead, people cope with challenging climates and ecological contexts by carefully copying others. In a famous study, psychologists Victoria Horner and Andrew Whiten showed two groups of test subject — children and chimpanzees — a mechanical box with a treat inside. In one condition, the box was non-transparent, while in the other it was transparent (透明的). The experimenters demonstrated how to open the box to get the treat, but they also included the irrelevant step of tapping on the box with a stick. Strangely, the children carefully copied all the steps to open the box, even when they could see that the stick had no practical effect. That is, they copied unreasonably: Instead of doing only what was necessary to get their reward, children blindly imitated every action they’d witnessed. By contrast, chimpanzees in the study only over-imitated in the non-transparent condition. In the transparent condition — where they saw that the stick was mechanically useless — they ignored that step entirely. Other research has since supported these findings. When it comes to copying, chimpanzees are more reasonable than human children or adults. Where does the seemingly unreasonable human preference for over-imitation come from? Anthropologist Joseph Henrich points out that people around the world rely on technologies that are often so complex that no one can learn them reasonably. Instead, people must learn them step by step, trusting in the wisdom of more experienced elders and peers. So the next time you hear someone arguing passionately that everyone should embrace variety and avoid imitating others, you might laugh a little bit. We’re not chimpanzees after all. 46. What might explain human’s having the largest population of almost all mammals? A. They’re equipped with raw strength for solving the most challenging problems. B. They cope with the outside world more effectively than their animal relatives. C. They possess the most outstanding ability to think. D. They know how to survive everywhere on earth. 47. What accounts for humans’ evolutionary successes according to a growing number of cognitive scientists and anthropologists? A. They are better at innovating solutions. B. They thrive through creative strategies. C. They are naturally adaptive to ecological contexts. D. They meet challenges by imitating others carefully. 48. What does the author think is strange about the findings of the study by Victoria Horner and Andrew Whiten? A. Children unreasonably imitated every action of the experimenters. B. Chimpanzees could tell the transparent box from the non-transparent one. C. Chimpanzees could get the treat more quickly than children did. D. Children skipped the step of tapping on the box with a stick to open it. 49. What is anthropologist Joseph Henrich’s explanation for the human preference for copying? A. It originates in the reasonable judgment of people around the world. B. It results from the way people learn complex technologies. C. It springs from people distrusting their own wisdom. D. It. derives from the desire to acquire knowledge step by step. 50. What point does the author want to emphasize when he says “We’re not chimpanzees”? A. It is arguable whether everyone should avoid imitation. B. It is characteristic of human being to copy others. C. It is desirable to trust in more knowledgeable peers. D. It is unwise to laugh at someone embracing variety. D To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes. In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case? Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity. Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings. In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.” So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success? 51. Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play? A. To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare. B. To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language. C. To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity. D. To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value. 52. What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story? A. Fame can block one’s achievements. B. Strong determination overcomes adversity. C. Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes. D. Courage in the face of challenges leads to success. 53. What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory? A. Embracing uncertainty. B. Managing life’s challenges. C. Seizing hidden opportunities. D. Focusing on personal growth. 54. What is the author’s attitude towards adversity? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 55. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity. B Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation. C. How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life. D. Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively. 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I’m David. I once worked at a store that did personalized engravings (雕版印刷品). One day, a young woman came into our store with a clock that had been engraved at one of our sister stores in another state. Her fiancé had secretly purchased it as a wedding gift for her. He had picked it up at the store. But he liked the wrapping, so he didn’t unwrap the gift at the time. When he gave it to her during her visit to his family, they discovered the date for their wedding was incorrect and that her name was misspelled. They had tried calling the original location where they got the engraving done but didn’t get the help that they wanted, So the lady had driven more than sixty miles to come to our location — the nearest to them — to see if meeting in person might work better than calling. She had brought their paperwork. It showed that her fiancé had put down the correct date and spelling, so the mistake was entirely on our side. I managed to get the order entirely redone correctly! Then, I had it delivered to them to save the customer from having to make the long drive again. I was also able to get my manager to approve a 50% refund for the trouble and inconvenience. Two weeks later, the customer called to say that they had received the engraved clock and that it was perfect. She also lauded me for my customer service. “We were planning never to use your company ever again after the initial trouble, but after the excellent service from David, we will certainly be back. At least, to your location!” It really meant a lot to me. People often called to complain or criticize, but the lady called simply to be kind. I’ve long since left that job, but to this day, that lady remains my favorite customer. 56. What prevented the lady’s fiancé from discovering the mistakes in the engraving immediately? (no more than 5 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did the lady seek help in person at the author’s location despite the long drive?

I’m writing to share my thoughts on how self-driving cars will transform transportation in the future. Self-driving cars are set to revolutionize the way we travel. With advanced sensors and AI, they’ll navigate roads more efficiently, reducing traffic jams and accidents. People can relax or work during the journey, making commuting more productive. This change will bring about significant benefits. It’ll cut down on carbon emissions as self-driving cars can optimize routes and speeds for fuel efficiency. Also, parking spaces can be freed up as cars can drop passengers off and park themselves elsewhere. Overall, it’ll make our cities cleaner, safer, and more convenient. Looking forward to hearing your views on this exciting development! Yours, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
