Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) Before arriving in Paris, Wu Shuyun, a 56-year-old Chinese housewife, imagined the French capital to be like film set for a romantic love story, picturing herself as a fashionable princess surrounded by elegant Parisians. Instead, Ms. Wu said she was shocked by the cigarette butts and dog poo on the street, and the indifference of the locals. Though friends had warmed her about thieves targeting Chinese people, she said she was nevertheless surprised when a number of her tour group was robbed on a crowded Metro train, as other passengers looked on. “For the Chinese, France has always been romantic, mysterious and attractive,” Ms. Wu said after a two-week tour. “Once I realized that the Parisians were indifferent, I made a decision: try to make the most of the trip, but never come back to Paris again.” Psychologists warned that Chinese tourists, shaken by disappointment, were at risk of Paris Syndrome, a condition during which foreigners suffer depression and anxiety when their rosy imagination of champagne, magnificent architecture and Monet are destroyed. The expression was coined 30 years ago by Paris-based Japanese psychiatrist, Hiroaki Ota, after several Japanese visitors to Paris fell ill when their culture of politeness was met with French arrogance. Thomas Deschamps, the head of research at the Paris Tourism Office, said culture shock was particularly common among travelers from Asia, who sometimes wrongly regarded the French capital as a museum. “They watch movies like Amelie. They think all Parisians carry Louis Vuitton purses and smell like Dior,” Thomas said. “They don’t know about the working-class suburbs, the overworked waiters, the more unpleasant parts of the city. Paris is not a museum. People are busy. They are stressed and living their lives.” To help protect Chinese tourists, the local tourism industry has redoubled its efforts to be more culturally sensitive. An online guide for hotels and businesses notes that for serving Chinese visitors, “a simple smile and hello in their language will obviously put them at ease.” 36. According to the passage, what surprised Wu Shuyun during her trip to Paris? A. The elegant Parisians and romantic atmosphere. B. The dirty streets and indifferent local people. C. The famous museums and historical landmarks. D. The warm welcome from French hotel staff. 37. Why does the author mention “Paris Syndrome” in the passage? A. To emphasize the severe medical risks of traveling abroad. B. To criticize Japanese tourists for overreacting to culture shock. C. To highlight the psychological impact of unmet expectations. D. To promote better mental health services for foreign visitors. 38. What can be inferred from Thomas Deschamps’ comments about Paris? A. Parisians dislike tourists who idealize their city. B Movies often provide an unrealistic portrayal of Paris. C. Working-class Parisians are more welcoming to visitors. D. The city’s museums are the main cause of culture shock. 39. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To criticize Paris for its poor urban management and unfriendly locals. B. To explain why Chinese tourists often experience disappointment in Paris. C. To compare cultural differences between Asian and French travelers. D. To suggest solutions for reducing culture shock among Chinese visitors. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39.

The British Museum has a well-earned reputation as an “encyclopaedic” museum, with a global story told through eight million objects. Inside, a wide-ranging collection includes everything from prehistoric pottery to precious handmade jewellery from India and Ming Dynasty vases from China. The museum helps us understand how events that happened at different times and in different places were connected, and how they influenced each other. Indeed, this was the vision of its founder, Sir Hans Sloane, who tried setting up cross-cultural comparisons in his original collection in 1753. As you walk around the British Museum today, it’s clear that Sloane’s broad-minded vision is very much alive and well. What’s less clear is how the museum acquired many of the objects on display and whether they should remain there. The collection has an obvious political dimension: while some objects have a well-documented history, others were added during Britain’s colonial period, so it’s possible they were stolen from famous archaeological sites or acquired in the war. Imagine having an important national monument from your country kept permanently in another country. How would you feel? Would you try to get the country to return it? It’s not surprising that many countries have gone on to ask for their treasures back. However; where they should be kept is a question that is still heatedly debated. The Rosetta Stone is a well-known exhibit that illustrates this problem. Carved in 196BCE, the stone was the key to unlocking the language of the ancient Egyptians. It was first discovered in 1799 near the town of el-Rashid (Rosetta) by soldiers in Napoleon’s army, but on Napoleon’s defeat in 1801, it became the property of the British. Many of the museum’s treasures were acquired in a similar way, but unsurprisingly, the British Museum is reluctant to let the Rosetta Stone go. It argues that more people see the Stone in London than they would in Cairo, the location is more secure and the exhibit is a critical part of its global collection. The Egyptian government has other ideas and is trying to persuade the museum to return it. They claim that it’s important for their nation’s history and identity, and that many Egyptians can’t afford to go to London to see it. But the British Museum won’t let the Rosetta Stone go, even as a loan, as they fear it won’t be returned. The British Museum is a place dedicated to international understanding, and the advantages of an encyclopaedic museum are clear to see: “We need to explore common ground, how people perceive their relationship to each other...and (to) see human history as an ongoing joint project,” explains MacGregor, former director of the British Museum. But this attempt to bring different cultures together has been self-defeating, ultimately having the opposite effect: taking treasures from other countries has resulted in never-ending international arguments and frosty relations with foreign governments. So as you admire the breathtaking objects on display at the museum, think about their heritage. Remember to ask yourself: Does the end justify the means? Is taking an object for a museum different from theft? And shouldn’t important objects be exhibited where they were originally made? 43. Which of the following words is similar in meaning to “encyclopaedic” (paragraph 1) ? A. being famous for its modern exhibitions. B. focusing only on ancient artifacts. C. containing a wide range of knowledge or information. D. owned by a private collector for personal use. 44. Why does the British Museum refuse to return the Rosetta Stone to Egypt? A. Because Egypt lacks the financial resources to protect it. B. Because more visitors can see it in London and its location is safer. C. Because the stone was legally purchased during colonial times. D. Because the Egyptian government has not formally requested its return. 45. The author’s attitude toward the British Museum’s argument is ______. A. strongly supportive B. completely neutral C. slightly skeptical D. openly against 46. What can be inferred about the “encyclopaedic museum” vision? A. It ignores the historical context of artifact acquisition. B. It successfully promotes global cultural harmony. C. It intentionally worsen international tensions. D. It prioritizes scientific research over national heritage. 【答案】43. C 44. B 45. D 46. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕大英博物馆展品来源及归属问题展开讨论，以罗塞塔石碑为例，指出该馆拒绝归还他国文物引发争议，质疑其做法的合理性。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The British Museum has a well-earned reputation as an “encyclopaedic” museum, with a global story told through eight million objects. Inside, a wide ranging collection includes everything from prehistoric pottery to precious handmade jewellery from India and Ming Dynasty vases from China. (大英博物馆作为一座“encyclopaedic”博物馆实至名归，馆藏八百万件文物向世人述说着全球文明的故事。其浩瀚馆藏包罗万象，从史前陶器到印度手工精制珠宝，再到中国明代瓷器，无不尽收其中)”可知，大英博物馆的藏品范围广泛，涵盖了不同时期和不同地区的物品，包罗万象。所以“encyclopaedic”意思应是包含广泛的知识或信息，与C项“containing a wide range of knowledge or information”意思相近。故选C项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many of the museum’s treasures were acquired in a similar way, but unsurprisingly, the British Museum is reluctant to let the Rosetta Stone go. It argues that more people see the Stone in London than they would in Cairo, the location is more secure and the exhibit is a critical part of its global collection. (博物馆的许多宝藏都是以类似的方式获得的，但不出所料，大英博物馆不愿让罗塞塔石碑离开。它辩称，在伦敦看到这块石头的人比在开罗看到的人更多，存放地点更安全，而且该展品是其全球藏品的重要组成部分)”可知，大英博物馆拒绝将罗塞塔石碑归还给埃及是因为在伦敦有更多人能看到它，且存放地点更安全。故选B项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But this attempt to bring different cultures together has been self-defeating, ultimately having the opposite effect: taking treasures from other countries has resulted in never ending international arguments and frosty relations with foreign governments. (但这种将不同文化汇聚在一起的尝试适得其反，最终产生了相反的效果：从其他国家拿走珍宝导致了无休止的国际争论和与外国政府的冷淡关系)”可知，作者认为大英博物馆拿走他国珍宝的行为带来了负面结果，说明作者对大英博物馆拒绝归还文物的理由是公开反对的。故选D项。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“What’s less clear is how the museum acquired many of the objects on display and whether they should remain there. The collection has an obvious political dimension: while some objects have a well-documented history, others were added during Britain’s colonial period, so it’s possible they were stolen from famous archaeological sites or acquired in the war. (不太清楚的是，博物馆是如何获得许多展出物品的，以及这些物品是否应该继续留在那里。这些藏品具有明显的政治层面：虽然有些物品有详细的历史记录，但其他一些是在英国殖民时期增加的，所以它们有可能是从著名的考古遗址被盗走或在战争中获得的)”可知，大英博物馆所谓的“百科全书式博物馆”愿景忽略了文物获取的历史背景。故选A项。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Defining Success on Your Own Terms “You go to college right out of high school.

Then she hit one- attaining a high-level executive position in a company. She didn’t love the job. She did love sitting around the dinner table laughing with her kids. “____48____” she asked herself. She ended up leaving the job, and started to wonder about all those milestones. Danielle Ponder had a career as a lawyer before dedicating herself to singing full time. Working as a public defender in Rochester, NY, Danielle Ponder would frequently Google,“Did anyone make it after the age of 35?

Why should you challenge that secret timeline of milestones in your head? C. This time, quitting her job led to her first album, television appearances and sold-out shows. D.

People are felling like they’re falling behind, when in fact they’re probably doing exactly what they should. F. She spent years feeling like an outsider and failure as she watched her peers rise in school and work, figuring she’d never catch up. 【答案】47 F 48. A 49. C 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位女性在追寻自己的成功之路上的故事，Nikki Ivey和Danielle Ponder都面临着传统社会规范所制定的时间表，但她们却选择了自己的道路。她们在生活中遇到困难和挑战，但最终意识到成功不应受他人时间表的限制，而是应该根据自己的价值观来定义。 【47题详解】 前文““You go to college right out of high school. That’s the rule, right?” says Nikki Ivey, a sales trainer and consultant outside Jacksonville, Fla, However, it’s not the case for her.

Then she hit one-attaining a high-level executive position in a company. She didn’t love the job. She did love sitting around the dinner table laughing with her kids.(她一个接一个地错过了她在一些想象中的梦想生活中所设想的里程碑：30岁赚六位数，35岁买房子。后来，她成功了：在一家公司获得了高级管理职位。她并不喜欢这份工作。她确实喜欢和孩子们围坐在餐桌旁大笑。)”提到了她的生活状况与轨迹。后文“she asked herself. She ended up leaving the job, and started to wonder about all those milestones.(她问自己。她最终离开了这份工作，并开始怀疑所有这些里程碑。)”提到了经过思考之后，她决定放弃现在的生活。A项(我到底想要这些吗？按照谁的时间表？)承接上文，说明她要改变生活的重心，又指引出了下文的她想要问的问题，she asked herself是提示。故选A项。 【49题详解】 前文“Danielle Ponder had a career as a lawyer before dedicating herself to singing full time. Working as a public defender in Rochester, NY, Danielle Ponder would frequently Google, “Did anyone make it after the age of 35? At one point, she quit her day job, only to return a year and a half later, due to the pandemic and disappointing bookings.

She thinks her insecure teen self wouldn’t have handled the stress of the public eye well. (她说：“我不知道这些事情在19岁时发生在我身上我是否能挺过。”她认为，没有安全感的青少年时期的自己无法很好地应对公众的压力。)”提到了她对于压力的反应，C项(这一次，她辞掉了工作，推出了她的第一张专辑，在电视上露面，演出场场爆满。)承接上文，她做出了尝试并取得成功，与后文的自我反思相呼应，故选C项。 【50题详解】 前文“It can be hard to make a transition later in life.(在以后的生活中很难做出转变。)”提到了做出转变的艰难，D项(与其在别人的时间表上完成生活事件而感到压力，不如自己制定自己的时间表。)承接上文，说明了改变和不改变都有难处，但改变的好处是可以过上自己喜欢的生活，掌控自己的生活，故选D项。 第Ⅱ卷(共40分) Ⅳ.

Recently, I’ve been studying so much that I haven’t been eating right. I get hungry late at night and will eat pizza, potato chips and hamburgers just because they are easy to fix. I also have soft drinks while I do my homework. They help me stay awake! Now I’ve put on weight. I’m worried. Can you help me? What should I do? Liz ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear Liz, I understand your worry about weight gain, and it’s common to develop unhealthy habits when overwhelmed by studies. Here are practical ways to improve your routine: First, replace late-night junk food with nutritious alternatives. Keep snacks like Greek yogurt, sliced veggies with hummus, or whole-grain crackers handy—they’re quick to prepare and rich in nutrients. Second, swap soft drinks for water or herbal tea. Staying hydrated can boost focus without the sugar crash, and adding a slice of lemon or cucumber makes it more refreshing. Next, incorporate short breaks for movement. A five-minute walk, stretching, or jumping jacks can refresh your mind and boost metabolism. Also, try setting fixed meal times to avoid impulsive eating. If you study late, have a balanced snack like a banana with peanut butter instead of processed foods. Finally, practice mindful eating. Avoid snacking while working, as distraction leads to overeating. Focus on enjoying each bite to recognize when you’re full. Small changes will gradually improve both your health and study efficiency.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) Before arriving in Paris, Wu Shuyun, a 56-year-old Chinese housewife, imagined the French capital to be like film set for a romantic love story, picturing herself as a fashionable princess surrounded by elegant Parisians. Instead, Ms. Wu said she was shocked by the cigarette butts and dog poo on the street, and the indifference of the locals. Though friends had warmed her about thieves targeting Chinese people, she said she was nevertheless surprised when a number of her tour group was robbed on a crowded Metro train, as other passengers looked on. “For the Chinese, France has always been romantic, mysterious and attractive,” Ms. Wu said after a two-week tour. “Once I realized that the Parisians were indifferent, I made a decision: try to make the most of the trip, but never come back to Paris again.” Psychologists warned that Chinese tourists, shaken by disappointment, were at risk of Paris Syndrome, a condition during which foreigners suffer depression and anxiety when their rosy imagination of champagne, magnificent architecture and Monet are destroyed. The expression was coined 30 years ago by Paris-based Japanese psychiatrist, Hiroaki Ota, after several Japanese visitors to Paris fell ill when their culture of politeness was met with French arrogance. Thomas Deschamps the head of research at the Paris Tourism Office, said culture shock was particularly common among travelers from Asia, who sometimes wrongly regarded the French capital as a museum. “They watch movies like Amelie. They think all Parisians carry Louis Vuitton purses and smell like Dior,” Thomas said. “They don’t know about the working-class suburbs, the overworked waiters, the more unpleasant parts of the city. Paris is not a museum. People are busy. They are stressed and living their lives.” To help protect Chinese tourists, the local tourism industry has redoubled its efforts to be more culturally sensitive. An online guide for hotels and businesses notes that for serving Chinese visitors, “a simple smile and hello in their language will obviously put them at ease.” 36. According to the passage, what surprised Wu Shuyun during her trip to Paris? A. The elegant Parisians and romantic atmosphere. B. The dirty streets and indifferent local people. C. The famous museums and historical landmarks. D. The warm welcome from French hotel staff. 37. Why does the author mention “Paris Syndrome” in the passage? A. To emphasize the severe medical risks of traveling abroad. B. To criticize Japanese tourists for overreacting to culture shock. C. To highlight the psychological impact of unmet expectations. D. To promote better mental health services for foreign visitors. 38. What can be inferred from Thomas Deschamps’ comments about Paris? A. Parisians dislike tourists who idealize their city. B. Movies often provide an unrealistic portrayal of Paris. C. Working-class Parisians are more welcoming to visitors. D. The city’s museums are the main cause of culture shock. 39. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To criticize Paris for its poor urban management and unfriendly locals. B. To explain why Chinese tourists often experience disappointment in Paris. C. To compare cultural differences between Asian and French travelers. D. To suggest solutions for reducing culture shock among Chinese visitors.

The British Museum has a well-earned reputation as an “encyclopaedic” museum, with a global story told through eight million objects. Inside, a wide-ranging collection includes everything from prehistoric pottery to precious handmade jewellery from India and Ming Dynasty vases from China. The museum helps us understand how events that happened at different times and in different places were connected, and how they influenced each other. Indeed, this was the vision of its founder, Sir Hans Sloane, who tried setting up cross-cultural comparisons in his original collection in 1753. As you walk around the British Museum today, it’s clear that Sloane’s broad-minded vision is very much alive and well. What’s less clear is how the museum acquired many of the objects on display and whether they should remain there. The collection has an obvious political dimension: while some objects have a well-documented history, others were added during Britain’s colonial period, so it’s possible they were stolen from famous archaeological sites or acquired in the war. Imagine having an important national monument from your country kept permanently in another country. How would you feel? Would you try to get the country to return it? It’s not surprising that many countries have gone on to ask for their treasures back. However; where they should be kept is a question that is still heatedly debated. The Rosetta Stone is a well-known exhibit that illustrates this problem. Carved in 196BCE, the stone was the key to unlocking the language of the ancient Egyptians. It was first discovered in 1799 near the town of el-Rashid (Rosetta) by soldiers in Napoleon’s army, but on Napoleon’s defeat in 1801, it became the property of the British. Many of the museum’s treasures were acquired in a similar way, but unsurprisingly, the British Museum is reluctant to let the Rosetta Stone go. It argues that more people see the Stone in London than they would in Cairo, the location is more secure and the exhibit is a critical part of its global collection. The Egyptian government has other ideas and is trying to persuade the museum to return it. They claim that it’s important for their nation’s history and identity, and that many Egyptians can’t afford to go to London to see it. But the British Museum won’t let the Rosetta Stone go, even as a loan, as they fear it won’t be returned. The British Museum is a place dedicated to international understanding, and the advantages of an encyclopaedic museum are clear to see: “We need to explore common ground, how people perceive their relationship to each other...and (to) see human history as an ongoing joint project,” explains MacGregor, former director of the British Museum. But this attempt to bring different cultures together has been self-defeating, ultimately having the opposite effect: taking treasures from other countries has resulted in never-ending international arguments and frosty relations with foreign governments. So as you admire the breathtaking objects on display at the museum, think about their heritage. Remember to ask yourself: Does the end justify the means? Is taking an object for a museum different from theft? And shouldn’t important objects be exhibited where they were originally made? 43. Which of the following words is similar in meaning to “encyclopaedic” (paragraph 1) ? A. being famous for its modern exhibitions. B. focusing only on ancient artifacts. C. containing a wide range of knowledge or information. D. owned by a private collector for personal use. 44. Why does the British Museum refuse to return the Rosetta Stone to Egypt? A. Because Egypt lacks the financial resources to protect it. B. Because more visitors can see it in London and its location is safer. C. Because the stone was legally purchased during colonial times. D. Because the Egyptian government has not formally requested its return. 45. The author’s attitude toward the British Museum’s argument is ______. A. strongly supportive B. completely neutral C. slightly skeptical D. openly against 46. What can be inferred about the “encyclopaedic museum” vision? A. It ignores the historical context of artifact acquisition. B. It successfully promotes global cultural harmony. C. It intentionally worsen international tensions. D. It prioritizes scientific research over national heritage. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.
