A
For years, Allen Brooks promised his mother he would finish college. In December 2024, the 60-year-old made his late mother’s wish come true when he graduated from Alabama A&M University with a bachelor’s degree.
Brooks first enrolled (注册) at Alabama A&M in 1982 on a partial band scholarship, but he never completed his studies and left in 1986. “I was only committed to the band and I allowed myself to make bad grades here and there,” Brooks recalled. “But then after a while, I got to a point where I had to leave school.”
Over the years, his mother would always encourage him to consider finishing school. “My mom would always say to me, ‘I wish you would go back to school one day.’ And I said, ‘Mom, one day, I’ m going to do it,’” Brooks recounted.
So in 2020, Brooks enrolled at Alabama A&M again and started taking classes while working full time. Brooks said it wasn’t easy, but along the way, his family, particularly his mom, gave him the support he needed. Whenever he felt stressed out or stuck, he would call his mom. And when he got off the phone, things would start clicking again.
But unfortunately, last July, months before Brooks was set to graduate, his mom died. “When that happened, part of me was like, I was doing this for her, but I switched my mindset — Mom is still with me. There’s no way I’m going to stop,” he said.
Brooks is grateful he was able to finish his degree and hopes his story can inspire others to realize their own dreams. “Whatever you’re trying to get to make yourself better, you’re going to be faced with some type of challenges,” Brooks said. “The key is to never stop — and even if you do stop, you can always pick back up where you left off.”
1. What caused Brooks to leave college in 1986?
A. His career plan. B. His economic condition.
C. His mom’s wish. D. His academic performance.
2. What can we infer about Brooks after he went back to college?
A. He handled his studies with ease.
B. He had to balance study and work.
C. He got a partial scholarship from the college.
D. He found it meaningless after his mom’s death.
3. What does Brooks try to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. God favors those who are prepared.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. You cannot teach an old dog new tricks.
B
Imagine you’ve planned a wonderful trip for your family. But rather than being excited, your kids complain about missing an after-school club meeting at a neighbor’s house. Missing the event causes such intense FOMO (fear of missing out) that they don’t want to go on your amazing trip.
If this kind of situation sounds familiar, you’re not alone. A recent study finds that FOMO often arises when people miss events with meaningful social connections. It’s not about the dinner or the food — it’s about missing the chance to connect with people who matter to you. Being left out can make you feel disconnected, even worried about losing your status(地位) in the group.
Researchers conducted a series of experiments to find simple ways to reduce FOMO. In one experiment, 788 participants were asked to look through their social media until they saw a post of a missed social event. The researchers asked half of these participants to immediately describe how much FOMO they were feeling. The rest followed the same steps, except that before expressing how much FOMO they were feeling, they were asked to think back to a previous experience socializing with their friends. Encouragingly, there was a significant drop in the level of FOMO they reported.
Therefore, missing out on social bonding experiences doesn’t have to be anxiety-provoking. In fact, in our activity-packed lives, missing some “must-attend” events may be a welcome relief — especially if you remind yourself that your place with your friends is safe, which has led to a recent wave called JOMO, or “Joy of Missing Out”.
According to Stuart Smalley, the self-help expert of a 1990s TV show “Saturday Night Live”, reminding yourself that “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and people like me!” might be just the trick to lessen FOMO.
4. What may cause FOMO according to the study?
A. The absence from fun activities. B. The missing of social connections.
C. The change of planned events. D. The misunderstanding of parents.
5. What helps to reduce FOMO in the experiment?
A Reducing time on social media. B. Raising status in the society.
C. Recalling moments with friends. D. Describing the level of FOMO.
6. Why does the author mention Stuart Smalley in the last paragraph?
A. To offer a way to reduce FOMO. B. To introduce a famous TV show.
C. To explain the origin of the concept. D. To show the comments on FOMO.
C
Few senses can transport us through time and space like our sense of smell. That characteristic smell of a place seems to contain its very essence. While photos may capture images, only smell has the power to truly bring back the feeling of being there.
Today, smell-free environments have become an ideal to struggle for, leading us to pay less attention to smells than ever before. In doing so, however, we’re missing out on a number of benefits.
Smell forms a key part of many of our most important experiences. For example, the emotional attachment and desire for your romantic partner depends on smell, to a surprising extent. So does your appetite. While the enjoyment of food and drink is often related to taste, it is primarily driven by our sense of smell. If you hold your nose while eating, you will notice how most flavours disappear.
And while smell can bring back the past, it also gets you involved in the present. We’ve had a reminder of this recently because of the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused long-lasting damage to an estimated 30 million people’s sense of smell. We rarely think about how attending to smells can make us feel more alive, but those with smell loss report feeling alienated from reality, as if they are watching the world on a screen. This puts them at a high risk of becoming depressed.
Fortunately, our ability to smell can be enhanced. Research has shown that being exposed to the smells of the forest, sea or earth after rain is particularly good for us. Scientists believe that enjoying the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku “forest bathing” can make participants more mindful and aware of the smells around them. Wherever we are, we can still get some benefits by practicising “smell-walking”. The smell-walk develops a sense of connectedness, making us realise that all places have their characteristic “smellscape” shaped by their unique nature, history and culture.
It is always worth paying attention to your smellscape, because it likely shapes your thoughts, feelings and moods, whether you are aware of it or not.
7. What is a benefit of smell?
A. It strengthens brain power.
B. It improves visual perception.
C. It enhances connection with the present.
D. It determines the taste of food and drink.
8. What does the underlined word “alienated” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Constantly distracted. B. Emotionally distanced.
C. Occasionally bothered. D. Culturally disconnected.
9. What does the passage suggest for improving our sense of smell?
A. Engaging in smell-walking activities. B. Making exercise a daily routine.
C. Creating smell-free environments. D. Avoiding exposure to bad smells.
10. Which is the best title for the text?
A Wanting vivid memories? Take a breath
B. Preferring good flavors? Train your nose
C. Needing a good environment? Clear the air
D. Looking for a better life? Follow your nose
第二节 课内阅读理解(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
It is not surprising that people tended to believe primitive ideas as they had been put forward by some great philosophers like Aristotle(384–322 BCE). For example, he said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. Galileo Galilei(1564–1642)disagreed. At first, people approved of his studies and urged him to continue, but later when he proved Aristotle wrong, they grew angry and put him in prison. They didn’t want to abandon what they’d always thought as true. And this is still often true today. People make the assumption that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei also made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the Earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong.
Therefore, our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say, “We know it all.” We need to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom. They understood that we don’t know everything and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions. We owe so much of our knowledge and understanding of the world to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of conventional thought in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilisation is built upon. These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man. and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.

Everyone will go through a phase where they feel stuck in life. Maybe they are in a difficult relationship, working in an unfulfilling job, or they’re just tired of going through the motions. If you feel purposeless, it’s time for a change. ____16____
First, identify the cause by evaluating your life. Ask yourself: Do my relationships benefit me? Am I where I want to be? Are my values reflected in my lifestyle?

Imagine you’ve planned a wonderful trip for your family. But rather than being excited, your kids complain about missing an after-school club meeting at a neighbor’s house. Missing the event causes such intense FOMO (fear of missing out) that they don’t want to go on your amazing trip.
If this kind of situation sounds familiar, you’re not alone. A recent study finds that FOMO often arises when people miss events with meaningful social connections. It’s not about the dinner or the food — it’s about missing the chance to connect with people who matter to you. Being left out can make you feel disconnected, even worried about losing your status(地位) in the group.
Researchers conducted a series of experiments to find simple ways to reduce FOMO. In one experiment, 788 participants were asked to look through their social media until they saw a post of a missed social event. The researchers asked half of these participants to immediately describe how much FOMO they were feeling. The rest followed the same steps, except that before expressing how much FOMO they were feeling, they were asked to think back to a previous experience socializing with their friends. Encouragingly, there was a significant drop in the level of FOMO they reported.
Therefore missing out on social bonding experiences doesn’t have to be anxiety-provoking. In fact, in our activity-packed lives, missing some “must-attend” events may be a welcome relief — especially if you remind yourself that your place with your friends is safe, which has led to a recent wave called JOMO, or “Joy of Missing Out”.
According to Stuart Smalley, the self-help expert of a 1990s TV show “Saturday Night Live”, reminding yourself that “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and people like me!” might be just the trick to lessen FOMO.
4. What may cause FOMO according to the study?
A. The absence from fun activities. B. The missing of social connections.
C. The change of planned events. D. The misunderstanding of parents.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了错失恐惧症(FOMO)的成因及其对社交联系的影响,并通过实验发现回忆积极社交经历可以有效减轻FOMO。同时,文章提出了“错过带来的快乐”(JOMO)这一新概念。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent study finds that FOMO often arises when people miss events with meaningful social connections. (最近的一项研究发现,当人们错过具有重要社交联系的活动时,往往会感到错失恐惧症。)”可知,没能参加自己的社交圈举办的联系活动可能会导致错失恐惧症。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The rest followed the same steps, except that before expressing how much FOMO they were feeling, they were asked to think back to a previous experience socializing with their friends. Encouragingly, there was a significant drop in the level of FOMO they reported. (其余的人也按照相同的步骤操作,但在表达他们感受到的错失恐惧症之前,他们被要求回忆一次与朋友社交的经历。令人鼓舞的是,他们在报告的错失恐惧症水平上出现了显著下降。)”可知,让错过社交活动的人回忆和朋友共同度过的时光会降低错失恐惧症的程度。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Stuart Smalley, the self-help expert of a 1990s TV show “Saturday Night Live”, reminding yourself that “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and people like me!” might be just the trick to lessen FOMO. (根据20世纪90年代电视剧《周六夜现场》中的自助专家斯图尔特·斯莫利的说法,提醒自己“我足够好,我足够聪明,人们喜欢我!”可能正是减轻错失恐惧症的诀。窍)”可知,本段提到Stuart Smalley的话是为了给出一个降低错失恐惧症的方法。故选A项。
C
Few senses can transport us through time and space like our sense of smell. That characteristic smell of a place seems to contain its very essence. While photos may capture images, only smell has the power to truly bring back the feeling of being there.
Today, smell-free environments have become an ideal to struggle for, leading us to pay less attention to smells than ever before. In doing so, however, we’re missing out on a number of benefits.
Smell forms a key part of many of our most important experiences. For example, the emotional attachment and desire for your romantic partner depends on smell, to a surprising extent. So does your appetite. While the enjoyment of food and drink is often related to taste, it is primarily driven by our sense of smell. If you hold your nose while eating, you will notice how most flavours disappear.
And while smell can bring back the past, it also gets you involved in the present. We’ve had a reminder of this recently because of the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused long-lasting damage to an estimated 30 million people’s sense of smell. We rarely think about how attending to smells can make us feel more alive, but those with smell loss report feeling alienated from reality, as if they are watching the world on a screen. This puts them at a high risk of becoming depressed.
Fortunately, our ability to smell can be enhanced. Research has shown that being exposed to the smells of the forest, sea or earth after rain is particularly good for us. Scientists believe that enjoying the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku “forest bathing” can make participants more mindful and aware of the smells around them. Wherever we are, we can still get some benefits by practicising “smell-walking”. The smell-walk develops a sense of connectedness, making us realise that all places have their characteristic “smellscape” shaped by their unique nature, history and culture.
It is always worth paying attention to your smellscape, because it likely shapes your thoughts, feelings and moods, whether you are aware of it or not.
7. What is a benefit of smell?
A. It strengthens brain power.
B. It improves visual perception.
C. It enhances connection with the present.
D. It determines the taste of food and drink.
8. What does the underlined word “alienated” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Constantly distracted. B. Emotionally distanced.
C. Occasionally bothered. D. Culturally disconnected.
9. What does the passage suggest for improving our sense of smell?
A. Engaging in smell-walking activities. B. Making exercise a daily routine.
C. Creating smell-free environments. D. Avoiding exposure to bad smells.
10. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Wanting vivid memories? Take a breath
B. Preferring good flavors? Train your nose
C. Needing a good environment? Clear the air
D. Looking for a better life? Follow your nose
【答案】7. C 8. B 9. A 10. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了嗅觉的重要性,包括其对情感、食欲的影响,与当下的关联,以及提升嗅觉能力的方法等。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段首句“And while smell can bring back the past, it also gets you involved in the present. (嗅觉既能带回过去,也能让你融入当下)”可知,嗅觉的一个重要益处是增强与当下的连接。故选C项。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“We rarely think about how attending to smells can make us feel more alive, but those with smell loss report feeling alienated from reality, as if they are watching the world on a screen. (我们很少去思考关注气味如何能让我们感觉更有活力,但那些嗅觉丧失的人表示,他们感觉与现实alienated,仿佛在屏幕上观看世界一般)”可知,alienated表示与现实脱节,产生了疏离感,与Emotionally distanced均有“情感上与现实疏远”的意思,符合语境。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Wherever we are, we can still get some benefits by practising ‘smell-walking’. (无论身处何处,我们都可以通过‘嗅觉漫步’活动获益)”可知,文章建议通过嗅觉漫步提升嗅觉能力。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Few senses can transport us through time and space like our sense of smell. That characteristic smell of a place seems to contain its very essence. While photos may capture images, only smell has the power to truly bring back the feeling of being there. (很少有感官能像我们的嗅觉一样,带我们穿越时空。一个地方的独特气味似乎蕴含着它的本质。虽然照片可以捕捉图像,但只有气味有能力真正唤起曾经身处那里的感觉)”引出下文,并结合全文内容可知,文章围绕嗅觉的重要性展开,强调其对情感、当下体验和生活质量的影响,并建议通过关注嗅觉改善生活。选项D“寻找更好的生活?跟随你的嗅觉”既点明主题,又用设问引发思考,最适合作为标题。故选D项。
第二节 课内阅读理解(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
It is not surprising that people tended to believe primitive ideas as they had been put forward by some great philosophers like Aristotle(384–322 BCE). For example, he said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. Galileo Galilei(1564–1642)disagreed. At first, people approved of his studies and urged him to continue, but later when he proved Aristotle wrong, they grew angry and put him in prison. They didn’t want to abandon what they’d always thought as true. And this is still often true today. People make the assumption that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei also made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the Earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong.
Therefore, our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say, “We know it all.” We need to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom. They understood that we don’t know everything and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions. We owe so much of our knowledge and understanding of the world to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of conventional thought in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilisation is built upon. These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man. and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They didn’t want to abandon what they’d always thought as true.(他们不想放弃他们一直以来认为是正确的那些观念)”可知,人们会对伽利略感到愤怒是因为他们害怕这会挑战传统的观念。故选C。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“We owe so much of our knowledge and understanding of the world to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of conventional thought in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilisation is built upon.(我们对这个世界的认识和理解,很大程度上要归功于像培根和伽利略这样敢于突破传统思维束缚的人们,正是他们找到了知识的宝库,而当今的文明正是建立在这一知识宝库之上)”可知,培根和伽利略这样的伟大思想家的特点是勇敢且富有创造力。故选D。
【13题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Therefore, our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say, “We know it all.” We need to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom. They understood that we don’t know everything and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions.(因此,我们对周围世界的认知在不断增长和变化。换句话说,我们每天都在不断学习,没有人能够坐下来自以为“我们无所不知”。我们需要感谢过去的那些智者,因为他们带来了智慧。他们明白我们不可能知晓一切,而且很可能永远也无法知晓,因为那样就意味着一个没有问题的世界)”以及“These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man. and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.(这些人物深知知识和理解是需要去争取的;对一个人来说,它们比世界上所有的财富都更为重要,有人甚至会说,对人类来说,它们比一切财富都更有益)”可知,没有人能够宣称自己对这个世界有着完全的了解是因为知识一直在不断增长和变化。或者说, 对知识的追求需要持续的质疑和探索,因为新的想法往往会取代旧的想法。故答案为Knowledge is always growing and changing./ The pursuit of knowledge requires continuous questioning and discovery, as new ideas often replace old ones.
【14题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Therefore, our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say, “We know it all.”(因此,我们对周围世界的理解在不断增长和变化。换句话说,我们每天都会学到更多,没有人能够坐下来说:“我们已经知道一切了。”)”可知,作者的主要论点是我们对世界的认知在不断深化和演变,因此我们应当勇于挑战传统观念,并持续学习。故答案为Our understanding of the world is constantly growing and changing so we should be brave to challenge conventional thoughts and keep learning.
【15题详解】
考查英译汉。主语为People;make the assumption that表示“认为”,that引导同位语从句;if引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”;someone important and respected表示“重要的、受人尊敬的人”;says表示“说”;后跟that引导宾语从句,something is right表示“某件事是对的”;then it must be so表示“这件事一定是对的”。故翻译为:如果一个重要的、受人尊敬的人说某件事是对的,那么人们就会认为这件事一定是对的。

46. Bill Gates is one of the most successful and ________ (influence) people in the world of computer software.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】influential
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:比尔·盖茨是计算机软件界最成功、最有影响力的人物之一。本空与successful并列,修饰名词people,作前置定语,用形容词influential“有影响力的”。故填influential。
47. There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees, ________ Jason enjoys taking care of. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意:外面有一个小花园,里面有几棵果树,杰森喜欢照料它们。此句为非限制性定语从句,先行词为a few fruit trees,指物,关系词在从句中作taking care of的宾语,所以用关系代词which引导该定语从句。故填which。
48. She ________(make) necklaces with the help of Anne when she noticed that she had made some mistakes. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was making
【解析】
【详解】考查时态及主谓一致。句意:她在安妮的帮助下做项链,这时她注意到自己犯了一些错误。所给动词make在句中作谓语;be doing... when句型表示当某人或某物正在做某事,就在这时突然又发生了另一件事,符合本句语境,结合when后分句的时态可知,该空应使用过去进行时态;主语单三人称,助动词be使用单数形式。故填was making。
49. She researched hundreds of traditional recipes ______ (connect) to anti-malarial cures. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】connected
【解析】

【答案】has gone
【解析】
【详解】考查动时态。句意:多年来,随着社会、经济和技术的发展,这样的广告已经经历了一个变化的过程。根据时间状语“over the years(多年来)” 可知,句子强调从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作,应用现在完成时,其结构为have/has + 过去分词。主语“Such advertisement”为单数,助动词用has,go的过去分词是gone。故填has gone。
