People should believe in themselves in pursuing dreams. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: A gentleman was walking through an elephant cap and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages were held by the use of chains. The only thing that held them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs. As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused about why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead they didn’t try at all. Wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby, “Why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape?” The trainer replied, “When they were very young and much smaller, we used the same size rope to tie them. At that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was that over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible. No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 Day Trips out of New York City: Fun for Kids and Families in Summer These four fun and easy day trips out of New York City will add pleasure to your family’s summer.

This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia. Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke. Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co- founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship. Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech- language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect. Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination. The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.” 24. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The consequences of a stroke. B. The huge aphasia sufferers. C. The causes of a stroke. D. The symptoms of aphasia. 25. Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group? A. To provides companionship for lonely people. B. To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers. C. To work on a medical cure for aphasia. D. To answer the call of MIT. 26. According to the members, what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group? A. It offers them financial assistance. B. It helps them regain their speech completely. C. It creates a caring community for them. D. It conducts extensive research on their conditions. 27. Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story? A. Turn lemons into lemonade. B. Let nature take its course. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了霍华德•布拉特经历中风后患有严重的失语，他发现社会上缺少对失语症患者的支持组织，于是成立了失语症社区组织，帮助了许多患者。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke.(失语症并不影响智力，所以一些失语症患者把它比作住在自己大脑中的监狱里；他们的大脑工作，但他们无法表达自己或理解口头或书面语言。这种情况会阻止他们说、读、写或理解，有时是这些的组合，有时是全部。美国至少有200万人患有失语症，通常是由中风引起的)”可知，第二段的主要内容是失语症的症状。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co- founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship.(在20世纪80年代早期，他发现对失语症患者的援助网络是罕见的，于是他在1990年与妻子和其他人共同创立了失语症社区组织。它是历史最悠久、规模最大的失语症患者及其家属支持团体之一，提供音乐会、读书小组、健康信息和陪伴等服务)”可知，他们成立失语症社区小组是为了解决失语症患者缺乏支持的问题。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech- language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect.(中风幸存者玛丽·博雷利将这个团体描述为救星，提供理解和归属感。这个团体帮助打破了孤立。联合创始人、波士顿大学语言病理学家杰里·卡普兰指出，新来者通常在找到与他们有共同奋斗经历的人时表示宽慰。自成立以来，成千上万的人参加了这个活动，他们找到了一个安全、舒适的空间来交流)”可知，根据成员的说法，失语症社区小组的意义是它为他们创造了一个充满爱心的社区。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.”(卡普兰强调了布拉特的决心，他说：“尽管在中年时期经历了艰难的转折，有了年幼的孩子，在他的职业生涯中处于顶峰，他的沟通天赋基本上被摧毁了，但他在40多年里没有屈服于这一点。他不仅活了下来；他还茁壮成长起来。”)”结合文章主要讲述了霍华德•布拉特经历中风后患有严重的失语，于是成立了失语症社区组织，帮助了许多患者。可知，霍华德·布拉特的人生故事体现了“把柠檬变成柠檬水”即通过自身努力，转变不利条件，实现逆风翻盘的道理。故选A。 C The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was invented by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological (心理的) preferences in how people view the world and make decisions. The MBTI personality inventory (量表) sorts people into 16 types, each of which is represented by four-letter codes such as INFP and ESTJ. Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. Many companies, as well as hundreds of universities, use it in hiring and training. Nevertheless, the MBTI has received a noticeable criticism from the academic community. Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI, which is the ability of the test to accurately link the “types” to outcomes in the real world — for example, how well people of a certain type will perform in a given job. Merve Emre, a professor from Oxford University, points out that it would be more scientifically advisable to score the MBTI scales continuously to show people the degree to which they resemble the types. Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people. Scoring and understanding the MBTI the way other personality inventories are scored and understood might be less fun than finding. All of the folklore (民间看法) about INFPs, ESTJs, etc. would have to be dismissed. But, in the end the MBTI is totally reliable enough to be useful in a number of real-world contexts. 28. What do we know about the MBTI from the first paragraph? A. It is divided into 16 types. B. It is a personality-testing tool. C. It is a study of personal preference. D. It is a questionnaire on four-letter codes. 29. Why does the MBTI invite criticism? A. It requires people to retake the test. B. It performs badly in given jobs. C. It does not work in the real world. D. Its reliability has been questioned. 30. What does Merve Emre think of the MBTI? A. It helps in self-exploration. B. It is less fun than other tests. C. It is almost out of tune with facts. D. It shapes people into certain types. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How Can We Use the MBTI? B. Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless? C. Why do We Criticize the MBTI? D. Is Scoring the MBTI Really Necessary? 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了目前火爆全球的MBTI性格测试工具，分析了其利弊，作者最终对此持赞同态度。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological (心理的) preferences in how people view the world and make decisions.(这是一份自我报告问卷，显示了人们在如何看待世界和做出决定方面的不同心理偏好)”以及“Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI.(每年，大约1500万人通过完成MBTI测试发现了自己的性格类型)”可知，MBTI是一个性格测试工具。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI,... (一些研究表明MBTI是不可靠的，因为同一个人在重新参加测试时可能得到不同的结果。其他研究对MBTI的有效性提出了质疑，……)”可知，MBTI的可靠性遭到了很多机构的质疑，所以它受到了很多的批判。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people.(即使MBTI的结果与你对自己的直觉不太匹配，或者是错误的，它们仍然可以提供自我洞察力，以及对人与人之间的差异和相似之处的洞察力)”可知，Merve Emre认为MBTI仍然可以作为自我探索的有用的工具。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，第一段介绍了MBTI；第二段介绍了其由于不太可靠的结果而遭受了很多学术机构的质疑和批评；第三段引用了牛津大学教授的观点，认为其还是可以作为自我探索的有用的工具；以及最后一段，讲述了MBTI还是有一定的作用的。由此可知，全篇文章在讨论MBTI是否有作用。B项“Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless? (MBTI完全没有意义吗？)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 D A remarkable discovery has changed the way scientists think about the history of cancer treatment. While many people think of cancer as a disease that affects only modern-day humans, cancer has been around for thousands of years and new research shows that humans have also tried to manage it for thousands of years. The study of two ancient Egyptian skulls (颅骨) held at the University of Cambridge in England has suggested that ancient Egyptians may have performed surgery to manage cancer. Professor Edgard Camaros from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and his team were shocked when they found cut marks and evidence of cancer in the skulls of two ancient Egyptians dating back up to 4000 years old. While Egyptians are well known for having excellent medical knowledge and treating a range of diseases, they had never been known for treating cancer. The skulls had already been studied in 1963 by other scientists, however, the technology at that time wasn't advanced enough to pick up the cut marks of operation found on the skulls, Professor Edgard Camaros said. It was thanks to a HIROZ Digital Microscope HR-2016 that scientists spotted surgical cut marks around two cancer lesions (病变). One limitation regarding cancer is that there are too few cancer cases on ancient human remains. The study of disease found in animal and human remains aims to find out as much as possible about diseases in the past to help our understanding of diseases now. Our discipline is limited by the samples we work with, which depends on the funeral culture of some people as well as the environment in which they were preserved. Egypt is a great place thanks to its advanced funerary (埋葬的) practices and the dry weather which preserves remains better. 32. How did Professor Edgard and his team feel when they found the cut marks? A. Overjoyed. B. Confused. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed. 33. Why did scientists fail to find the cut marks in 1963? A. They were too careless. B. They lacked advanced technology. C. They were in such a rush. D. They had little relative knowledge. 34. What makes Egypt a great place for preservation according to the last paragraph? A. Its population. B. Its economy. C. Its scenery. D. Its climate. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Cancer Has Been Around for Thousands of Years B. Ancient Egyptians Had Found a Cure for Cancer C. Scientists Assumed Causes for Marks on Ancient Skulls D. Animal and Human Remains Are Well Preserved in Egypt 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究者对两块古埃及人头盖骨的研究发现：癌症可能已经存在几千年了。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Professor Edgard Camaros from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and his team were shocked when they found cut marks and evidence of cancer in the skulls of two ancient Egyptians dating back up to 4000 years old.(西班牙圣地亚哥-德孔波斯特拉大学的Edgard Camaros教授和他的团队在两名4000年前的古埃及人的头骨中发现了切割痕迹和癌症证据，他们对此感到震惊。)”可知，Edgard Camaros和他的团队在发现古埃及人头盖骨上的切口后是感到惊讶的。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“The skulls had already been studied in 1963 by other scientists, however, the technology at that time wasn't advanced enough to pick up the cut marks of operation found on the skulls, Professor Edgard Camaros said. (Edgard Camaros教授说，其他科学家在1963年已经对头骨进行了研究，但当时的技术还不够先进，无法发现头骨上的手术切割痕迹。)”可知，1963年科学家没有发现古埃及人头盖骨上的切口是由于技术原因。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段“Egypt is a great place thanks to its advanced funerary(埋葬的)practices and the dry weather which preserves remains better.(埃及是一个伟大的地方，这要归功于其先进的葬礼习俗和干燥的天气，保存得更好。)”可知，气候使埃及成为保存尸体的好地方。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“A remarkable discovery has changed the way scientists think about the history of cancer treatment. While many people think of cancer as a disease that affects only modern-day humans, cancer has been around for thousands of years and new research shows that humans have also tried to manage it for thousands of years. (一项引人注目的发现改变了科学家们对癌症治疗历史的看法。虽然许多人认为癌症是一种只影响现代人类的疾病，但癌症已经存在了数千年，新的研究表明，人类也试图控制它数千年。)”以及下文可知，文章主要讲述研究者对两块古埃及人头盖骨的研究发现：癌症可能已经存在几千年了。所以A项Cancer Has Been Around for Thousands of Years(癌症已经存在了数千年)符合语境。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview Body language matters, especially in interviews. ___36___ Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations.

Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question. Connect the dots. ___39___ For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. ___40___ A. Spot the difference. B. Ask detailed questions. C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time. E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science. F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own. G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience. 【答案】36. C 37. E 38. A 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。我们的姿势、手势、动作或面部表情会影响我们的声誉。本文从不同方面就如何在面试时读懂对方的肢体语言给我们一些指导。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Body language matters, especially in interviews.”（肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。）可知，选项承接上文，继续说明肢体语言的重要性。故C选项“重要的不是你说什么，而是你怎么说”切题。how you say it呼应Body language matters。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality.”（通过阅读面试中的肢体语言，可以对求职者的性格有很有价值的了解。）以及下文“Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.”（以下是一些常见的面试肢体语言信号，你可以学习阅读。）可知，上文谈到在面试中读懂肢体语言可以对候选人的个性提供有价值的见解。也就是说在面试中读懂肢体语言的益处，然后接下来谈到“以下是一些你可以学会读懂的常见的面试肢体语言信号。”故可知E项“然而，理解肢体语言并不是一门精确的科学”切题，说明它是可以学会读懂的。故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture.”（你可以通过观察人们动作或姿势的变化来解读他们的肢体语言）可知，本段主要在说要发现不同点。故A选项“发现不同点”切题，为本段的小标题。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive（咄咄逼人的） answer.”（例如，人们冷的时候可能会交叉双臂。但是，当你看到应聘者同时交叉双臂、跷二郎腿和握拳时，你就要准备好接受一个咄咄逼人的回答了。）可知，一个具体的动作可能表达不同的意思，所以你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思。故F选项“你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思”切题。承接下文。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark（引发）defensive and reserved reactions.”（积极的肢体语言可以让应试者放松并敞开心扉。消极的肢体语言会引发防御和矜持的反应。）可知，选项总结上文，说明怎么样做到成为合格的候选人。故G选项“要注意错误，以保持积极的候选人体验”切题。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jane was a girl who wanted to do something in the world.

His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage he and his wife had built. Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all-consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40-minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care. coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (头像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home-bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately. A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog’s service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer’s took hold. Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim’s sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony’s screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. Memories flashed through Jim’s mind. It had been more than a year since his wife’s death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore. That day, though, he gazed at the photo affectionately and declared emotionally, “I still love her”. Sensing Jim’s sadness, Pony sent hearts to Jim on the screen and comforted him. Uplifted by Pony’s loving remarks, Jim petted Pony’ screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head again. Pony responded with its tail wagging cheerfully. Arlyn sat in silence, with an illusion of slipping back to the old happy days. Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. She was amazed at Pony’s heart-warming service and her dad’s fondness for Pony. Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times. With time going by, Arlyn noticed the improvement in her father’s cognitive ability and mood, and he got more engaged in conversations. Arlyn was grateful to Pony. Knowing that Pony was not a substitute for human interaction, she resolved to cherish every moment with her dad, for the presence of loved ones was crucial. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Arlyn的母亲一年前去世，91岁的父亲Jim，患有老年痴呆症，他不愿去养老院，独自一人居住在和母亲建造的房子里。Arlyn已经六十多岁了，且她的房子离小屋有40分钟的车程。为了照顾父亲，她为父亲注册了一个新的老年护理服务——由人类远程控制可以一天24小时监视一个宅在家里的人。之后她收到一个平板，屏幕上有一只动画狗，Jim给动画狗取名为 Pony，Jim慢慢学会了如何与 Pony相处。一天晚上，当Arlyn像往常一样来看望她的父亲时，她惊讶地发现 Pony用爪子向她的父亲举起了一张她已故母亲的照片。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Jim 深情地盯着那张照片，眼里噙着泪水。”可知，第一段可描写Jim盯着照片想念已故的妻子，之后Pony安慰Jim。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到Pony和爸爸之间的亲密关系，Arlyn松了一口气。”可知，第二段可描写动画狗Pony对父亲的帮助，以及Arlyn对Pony很感谢。 2.续写线索：Jim盯着照片——怀念已故妻子——Pony安慰Jim——Arlyn感到安慰——Pony对Jim的帮助——Arlyn感谢Pony 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着看：gaze at/stare at ②帮助某人：help sb./do sb. a favor ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/surprised ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] It had been more than a year since his wife’s death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore.（由since引导的状语从句） [高分句型2] Uplifted by Pony’s loving remarks, Jim petted Pony’ screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head again.（非谓语动词作状语） [高分句型3] Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times（who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有。5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Look, the carrot taxes, the snowman s nose is missing, may be irritated.

The only thing that held them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope tied to one of the legs. As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused about why the elephants didn't just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead they didn't try at all. Wanting to know the answer, he asked a train a nearby, why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape. The trainer replied, when they were very Young and much smaller, we used the same size rope to tie them. At that age, IT was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free. The only reason that the elephants weren't breaking free and escaping from the camp was that, over time, they adopted the belief that I just wasn't possible. No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step, and actually achieving IT.

B In 1983, Howard Blatt, an electrical engineer at MIT and a married father, collapsed in his kitchen due to a stroke (中风). This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia. Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke. Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co- founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship. Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech- language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect. Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination. The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.” 24. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The consequences of a stroke. B. The huge aphasia sufferers. C. The causes of a stroke. D. The symptoms of aphasia. 25. Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group? A. To provides companionship for lonely people. B. To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers. C. To work on a medical cure for aphasia. D. To answer the call of MIT. 26. According to the members, what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group? A. It offers them financial assistance. B. It helps them regain their speech completely. C. It creates a caring community for them. D. It conducts extensive research on their conditions. 27. Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story? A. Turn lemons into lemonade. B. Let nature take its course. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. C The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was invented by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological (心理的) preferences in how people view the world and make decisions. The MBTI personality inventory (量表) sorts people into 16 types, each of which is represented by four-letter codes such as INFP and ESTJ. Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. Many companies, as well as hundreds of universities, use it in hiring and training. Nevertheless, the MBTI has received a noticeable criticism from the academic community. Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI, which is the ability of the test to accurately link the “types” to outcomes in the real world — for example, how well people of a certain type will perform in a given job. Merve Emre, a professor from Oxford University, points out that it would be more scientifically advisable to score the MBTI scales continuously to show people the degree to which they resemble the types. Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people. Scoring and understanding the MBTI the way other personality inventories are scored and understood might be less fun than finding. All of the folklore (民间看法) about INFPs, ESTJs, etc. would have to be dismissed. But, in the end the MBTI is totally reliable enough to be useful in a number of real-world contexts. 28. What do we know about the MBTI from the first paragraph? A. It is divided into 16 types. B. It is a personality-testing tool. C. It is a study of personal preference. D. It is a questionnaire on four-letter codes. 29. Why does the MBTI invite criticism? A. It requires people to retake the test. B. It performs badly in given jobs. C. It does not work in the real world. D. Its reliability has been questioned. 30. What does Merve Emre think of the MBTI? A. It helps in self-exploration. B. It is less fun than other tests. C. It is almost out of tune with facts. D. It shapes people into certain types. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How Can We Use the MBTI? B. Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless? C. Why do We Criticize the MBTI? D. Is Scoring the MBTI Really Necessary? D A remarkable discovery has changed the way scientists think about the history of cancer treatment. While many people think of cancer as a disease that affects only modern-day humans, cancer has been around for thousands of years and new research shows that humans have also tried to manage it for thousands of years. The study of two ancient Egyptian skulls (颅骨) held at the University of Cambridge in England has suggested that ancient Egyptians may have performed surgery to manage cancer. Professor Edgard Camaros from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and his team were shocked when they found cut marks and evidence of cancer in the skulls of two ancient Egyptians dating back up to 4000 years old. While Egyptians are well known for having excellent medical knowledge and treating a range of diseases, they had never been known for treating cancer. The skulls had already been studied in 1963 by other scientists, however, the technology at that time wasn't advanced enough to pick up the cut marks of operation found on the skulls, Professor Edgard Camaros said. It was thanks to a HIROZ Digital Microscope HR-2016 that scientists spotted surgical cut marks around two cancer lesions (病变). One limitation regarding cancer is that there are too few cancer cases on ancient human remains. The study of disease found in animal and human remains aims to find out as much as possible about diseases in the past to help our understanding of diseases now. Our discipline is limited by the samples we work with, which depends on the funeral culture of some people as well as the environment in which they were preserved. Egypt is a great place thanks to its advanced funerary (埋葬的) practices and the dry weather which preserves remains better. 32. How did Professor Edgard and his team feel when they found the cut marks? A. Overjoyed. B. Confused. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed. 33. Why did scientists fail to find the cut marks in 1963? A. They were too careless. B. They lacked advanced technology. C. They were in such a rush. D. They had little relative knowledge. 34. What makes Egypt a great place for preservation according to the last paragraph? A. Its population. B. Its economy. C. Its scenery. D. Its climate. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Cancer Has Been Around for Thousands of Years B. Ancient Egyptians Had Found a Cure for Cancer C. Scientists Assumed Causes for Marks on Ancient Skulls D. Animal and Human Remains Are Well Preserved in Egypt 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview Body language matters, especially in interviews. ___36___ Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives. Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. ___37___ Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read. Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fit in well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone. ___38___ You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question. Connect the dots. ___39___ For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. ___40___ A. Spot the difference. B. Ask detailed questions. C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time. E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science. F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own. G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jane was a girl who wanted to do something in the world.

His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage he and his wife had built. Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all-consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40-minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care. coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (头像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home-bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately. A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog’s service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer’s took hold. Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim’s sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony’s screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
