What would be the best way today to protest against a war? In 1937, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso expressed his anger at war through his powerful painting Guernica, which remains a significant anti-war symbol (象征).
Much of the painting’s power comes from its size, about 3.49 meters tall and 7.76 meters wide. It feels like it wraps around you, immersing (沉浸) you in its larger-than-life figures and action. And although the size and multiple figures refer to the long tradition of European history paintings, this painting is different because it challenges rather than accepts the idea of war as heroic.
Guernica is based on the events of April 27, 1937, when Adolf Hitler’s German air force bombed Picasso’s hometown Guernica in northern Spain, a city of no strategic military value, leaving a third of the population wounded or killed. When news of the bombing reached Paris, Picasso was horrified by the reports of damage and death. After repeated attempts, the painting was done in less than a month and then delivered to the Paris World’ s Fair, where it shocked the world into facing up to the suffering of the Spanish people.
On first glance, Guernica’s composition appears confusing, throwing the viewer in the midst of battle. The space is ambiguous (模糊的) with the changing perspectives and overlapping (重叠) images from Picasso’s Cubist (立派的) style, making it hard to distinguish their boundaries. However, there is in fact a visual order with figures arranged in three vertical (垂直的) groups moving left to right and central figures placed within a large triangle of light.
There has been almost endless debate about the meaning of the images in Guernica. When questioned about its possible symbolism, Picasso said, “It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise, it would be better if he wrote them out in words. The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.” In the end, the painting does not appear to have only one single meaning. Perhaps it is that very ambiguity, or the fact that cruel wars continue to be fought, that keeps Guernica as timeless and universally relatable today as it was in 1937.
4. In what aspect is Guernica different from paintings of its time?
A. Figures in the painting. B. Size of the painting.
C. Its historical background. D. Its attitude to the war.
5. What directly inspired Picasso to create Guernica?
A. Response of visitors at the Fair. B. Guernica’s strategic military value.
C. Outbreak of the war in 1937. D. Reports of the suffering in his hometown.
6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the painting?
A. Its theme. B. Its colors. C. Its features. D. Its symbolism.
7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. A thousand Hamlets exist in a thousand eyes.
B. Many people can make light work.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
C
“Music will forever be humanity’s most effective and consistent source of inspiration and motivation and, we have learned, music turns out to be our most solid common ground for establishing communication between teachers and students which is where education begins.”
—— Stevie Van Zandt
The legendary guitarist Stevie Van Zandt has called on England’s schools to use music to attract young people. He founded TeachRock, an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum (课程).
Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US after the introduction of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, with its stress on annual testing, academic progress and report cards. Now it is being adopted in schools in England in the Beckmead, which provides education for children and young people with complex needs. Van Zandt was visiting to see his programme in action.
Many of the students at Beckmead are among the most disadvantaged in the country. Some have already been in youth offender institutions (少管所). While providing them with excellent education and care, it is also critical that we attract them to attend. TeachRock has proved hugely successful. Additionally, research has shown that music plays a key role in supporting brain development, language, motor skills, social cooperation skills and emotional intelligence.
Van Zandt watched interestedly as 17-year-old Kerniel performed a song he had written, and applauded enthusiastically after a performance by a group of students playing guitars given by a charity. Some of them had not held a guitar until a few weeks ago. “It’s amazing!” said Van Zandt, “A lot of kids are just not comfortable with the accuracy of basic science or maths. They don’t see the reason for it. They don’t understand it.” Van Zandt believes in “meeting children on their own turf”, rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Kids come to school with gifts intact (完好的): imagination, curiosity, instinct, taste, opinions - and the traditional education is to have them leave those things outside the classroom.
8. What can we learn about TeachRock?
A. It is an online platform for self-learning.
B. It is only targeted at problem children.
C. It uses music to inspire children to learn.
D. It keeps music in slower students’ DNA.
9. What might Van Zandt agree with according to the text?
A. Music should have a place in education.
B. Music keeps children from breaking the law.
C. Music outweighs science in school curriculum.
D All children can learn to play the guitar quickly.
10. What does “meeting children on their own turf” in the last paragraph mean?
A. All students should be taught in the same way.
B. Education should be tailored to students’ needs.
C. Students should attend lessons at their own home.
D. Science and maths should be removed from curriculum.
11. Which column may the text appear in a newspaper?
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Science. D. Music.
D
I want to be successful. That person is successful. So that person can teach me how to be successful. This theory helps explain the springing up of podcasts, books and speeches devoted to the secrets of high performance. It is one reason why executive-leadership courses draw on case studies from well beyond business: politics, the army and even the Roman Empire. And it has been much apparent before and during the Olympics, which end in Paris on August 11th.
Executives (主管) attend events in which Olympians describe what makes them successful. What can CEOs learn from the world’s best athletes? Actually, there are threads that connect sporting success and business success. Getting to the games requires 100% commitment and hard work. Sporting excellence rests on the efforts of multiple people, not just a single individual. The people on the platform in Paris are competitive and resilient (适应力强). It is true that all these things are helpful in the workplace.
If some of the similarities between sports and the workplace are cliché (老生常谈), many of the differences are too big to be helpful. Sporting events have clear standards for winning or losing; most jobs lack this. A four-year Olympic cycle building to a match that may last only seconds has few similar examples in business.
The athletes who win medals at the games are blessed not just with determination but also natural gifts. The job of managers is partly to discover such superstars, but their real task is getting the best out of a workforce whose talents will vary and whose jobs will not depend as heavily on genetics (遗传). “As soon as I saw that kid log on, I knew he was special.” are words you do not often hear.
Whether similarities or differences, these are not really why people listen to the podcasts or turn up at the events. They want a simple recipe for success. And they want to hear what it is like to run faster or jump higher than anyone else. They want to hear stories that can have no practical value back in the office. If they can pretend it’s good for their career, so much the better.
12. Why does the author mention the theory in Paragraph 1?
A. To prove a point. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To present a fact. D. To explain a concept.
13. Why do CEOs turn to Olympians?
A To seek business partners. B. To get the secrets to success.
C. To prove the truth of a theory. D. To expand their social circle.
14. What is the author’s attitude to learning from Olympians?
A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. What can Olympians teach CEOs?
B. How do CEOs differ from Olympians?
C. What is the recipe for business success?
D. Why are Olympians more successful than CEOs?

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。其中有两项为多余选项。
Emptiness
Have you ever felt like floating in a vast ocean with no land in sight? ____16____ But it’s not just about physical loneliness or a lack of excitement. It is typically emptiness—the result of feeling unaccomplished in life.
____17____ This feeling can appear at various stages and is often linked to major life events or changes. In our teens, we’re figuring out who we are and where we fit in the world. It’s a time of great discovery but also confusion. This can sometimes lead to a strong sense of emptiness as we struggle with our identity. Moving into early adulthood, many people experience the so-called “quarter-life crisis”. The pressures of establishing a career, maintaining relationships, and learning to be an adult can make this feeling stronger. ____18____ In fact, it might become even stronger due to factors such as experiencing a bottleneck in career or children leaving home. Entering into later life brings its own set of challenges too. Retiring from work, losing loved ones or facing health problems could all contribute to this emotion.
It’s important to admit that feeling empty occasionally is a part of the human experience. ____19____ One tried-and-true method is mindfulness meditation (正念冥想). Research shows that it can help us become more aware of our feelings and thoughts, making it easier for us to deal with them instead of feeling lost. Remember, though, it’s important not to contain these feelings. ____20____ Besides, participating in activities that bring joy can also relieve feelings of emptiness. These might include creative activities like painting or writing, physical activities such as hiking or cycling, or simply spending time with loved ones.
In truth, managing an “empty feeling” takes practice and patience but believe me when I say—it gets better!
A. Sharing experiences within a group can lead to a sense of belonging.
B. Besides, understanding and addressing this “empty feeling” isn’t easy
C. People commonly describe this feeling as a sense of loneliness or boredom.
D. In our journey through life, it’s not uncommon to experience periods of emptiness.
E. However, if this feeling persists and negatively affects your life, it’s advisable to seek help.
F. Emotions are there for a reason and recognizing them is a critical part of the healing process.
G. As I reflect on middle age, it’s clear that empty feelings don’t simply disappear as we grow older.

I grew up in Tennessee, a landlocked US state. When I was 14, I came across a group of divers (潜水者), who teamed up and took giant steps off the boat, ____21____ into the sea. After some time, the divers resurfaced, talking ____22____ about what they had seen. I wished I could have experienced it, too.
A year later, I found myself ____23____ with the Tennessee Aquatic Project (TAP) to become a certified (持证的) open-water diver. Once my certification card arrived in the mail, it felt ____24____: I was now a certified open-water diver. That summer, I spent more time ____25____ my diving skills with TAP. I didn’t think much about the training, nor did I realize what we were being trained for.
One day, Ken Stewart, the group’s founder and a legend in the ____26____ of diving, told us about a program he had created called Diving With a Purpose (DWP). Through this program, amateur divers like me could learn the ____27____ of underwater archaeology (考古学) and historic conservation. DWP’s ____28____ was to document and interpret shipwrecks (沉船) involved in the African slave trade.
Growing up, I had been taught about the transatlantic slave trade and the ____29____ voyage that enslaved people put up with to ____30____ the Americas. However, I had never considered the ships that did not make it to their ____31____. I started to wonder: “What ____32____ might be lost at sea? What might it feel like to be one of the Africans on board?”
I came to realize that the ____33____ for such a ship was important, and I wanted to participate in ____34____ its history. Not only that but, as a black woman, it’s work that ____35____ me with where I came from.
21. A. falling B. disappearing C. throwing D. flooding

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The success of Black Myth: Wukong is the latest example of how pop culture and technology can ____36____ (breath) new life into traditional culture.
The game is based on the classic Journey to the West, which ____37____ (adapt) countless times into films or television series. ____38____ there have been previous video game versions, Black Myth: Wukong stands apart from those. While ____39____ (employ) cutting-edge technology to bring excitement to players, it also lays ____40____ (emphasize) on tradition with its description of real-life temples and towers. Since its release, tourists have been flooding to Shanxi to visit the historical sites ____41____ (feature) in the game. As a result, the beauty of ancient Chinese architecture is being rediscovered.
The game has also introduced young audiences to traditional Chinese music. In Level 2, the headless Budda Lingji plays ____42____ traditional Chinese instrument sanxian (三弦), singing “Success and failure, life and death, all are beyond reason.” This Shanbei storytelling piece leaves a deep emotional impact. Although it may seem very traditional, this collision between old and new has actually created something popular ____43____ relates to all audiences.
It’s a great mistake to assume that the new is better than the old. Traditional culture provides us with a sense of identity and gives us the values we need—hard work, love of family, a sense of right and wrong — ____44____ (live) meaningful lives. Instead of replacing tradition, pop culture and modern technology can enrich this cultural heritage, which allows it to reach a broader audience _____45_____ losing its essence.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had no idea how confusing Mother’s Day could be until something happened during Writing Club at the library. We had different topics to write about each week. And the third week, our librarian, Mr. Sendak, put lots of cookbooks on every table.
“Mother’s Day falls on this Sunday. Today we’re going to write down food memories related to your mothers,” said Mr. Sendak. “Let’s see if the pictures in these cookbooks remind you of anything your mother cooked and you especially loved to eat or drink growing up. Write your story down.”
“Yes! I love it!” my friend Ollie said, grabbing a book of chocolate recipes.
I started turning the pages of a breakfast cookbook and stopped at a recipe for Belgian waffles (华夫饼).
“Oooh!” I said, “This makes me think of the time my mum made fancy blueberry waffles for my fifth birthday and my parents let me pour my own syrup.”
“Syrup is the best part!” said James, a new friend that Ollie and I had met at Writing Club.
“I’m going to write about that!” I smiled.
“Chocolate cake,” Ollie said as he looked through the pictures. “Oh! Mexican hot chocolate. That’s it! I remember the first time I was in hospital! I was so sad and sore until my mum made me some special hot cocoa. I’m going to write about that.”
James just kept flipping through the books.
“What’s your favorite food memory?” I asked.
James shrugged (耸肩).
“Come on,” said Ollie. “We want to hear about it!”
James sighed, put down his cookbook, and said, “Saturday night was always breakfast-for-dinner night. My mum used to make the best French toast with apple butter.”
“Yum!” I said, “How did you start that tradition?”
But James didn’t answer. He just picked up his pen and started to write.
Half an hour later, when it was time to say goodbye, Ollie said, “Hey, I just had a genius idea. If we put our waffles, French toast, and hot- cocoa recipes together, we could make an amazing Mother’s Day brunch for our mothers.”
“Yes!” I shouted loudly, “I bet my parents will let us have it in our backyard (后院). Do come with your mothers.”
James put his backpack over his shoulder. “Sorry. I’m busy that day.”
Ollie laughed. “Do you know the future? We didn’t even choose a day yet.”
James took a deep breath, a sad look on his face.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Sunday morning, James and his father came to join us.

What would be the best way today to protest against a war? In 1937 Spanish artist Pablo Picasso expressed his anger at war through his powerful painting Guernica, which remains a significant anti-war symbol (象征).
Much of the painting’s power comes from its size, about 3.49 meters tall and 7.76 meters wide. It feels like it wraps around you, immersing (沉浸) you in its larger-than-life figures and action. And although the size and multiple figures refer to the long tradition of European history paintings, this painting is different because it challenges rather than accepts the idea of war as heroic.
Guernica is based on the events of April 27, 1937, when Adolf Hitler’s German air force bombed Picasso’s hometown Guernica in northern Spain, a city of no strategic military value, leaving a third of the population wounded or killed. When news of the bombing reached Paris, Picasso was horrified by the reports of damage and death. After repeated attempts, the painting was done in less than a month and then delivered to the Paris World’ s Fair, where it shocked the world into facing up to the suffering of the Spanish people.
On first glance, Guernica’s composition appears confusing, throwing the viewer in the midst of battle. The space is ambiguous (模糊的) with the changing perspectives and overlapping (重叠) images from Picasso’s Cubist (立派的) style, making it hard to distinguish their boundaries. However, there is in fact a visual order with figures arranged in three vertical (垂直的) groups moving left to right and central figures placed within a large triangle of light.
There has been almost endless debate about the meaning of the images in Guernica. When questioned about its possible symbolism, Picasso said, “It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise, it would be better if he wrote them out in words. The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.” In the end, the painting does not appear to have only one single meaning. Perhaps it is that very ambiguity, or the fact that cruel wars continue to be fought, that keeps Guernica as timeless and universally relatable today as it was in 1937.
4. In what aspect is Guernica different from paintings of its time?
A. Figures in the painting. B. Size of the painting.
C. Its historical background. D. Its attitude to the war.
5. What directly inspired Picasso to create Guernica?
A. Response of visitors at the Fair. B. Guernica’s strategic military value.
C. Outbreak of the war in 1937. D. Reports of the suffering in his hometown.
6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the painting?
A. Its theme. B. Its colors. C. Its features. D. Its symbolism.
7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. A thousand Hamlets exist in a thousand eyes.
B. Many people can make light work.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍西班牙艺术家巴勃罗·毕加索反战画作《格尔尼卡》。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“And although the size and multiple figures refer to the long tradition of European history paintings, this painting is different because it challenges rather than accepts the idea of war as heroic.(尽管这幅画的大小和多人物参考了欧洲历史绘画的悠久传统,但这幅画是不同的,因为它挑战而不是接受战争是英雄的观念。)”可知,《格尔尼卡》不同于当时绘画的是它对战争的态度,它不是赞美战争而是反战。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“Guernica is based on the events of April 27, 1937, when Adolf Hitler’s German air force bombed Picasso’s hometown Guernica in northern Spain, a city of no strategic military value, leaving a third of the population wounded or killed. When news of the bombing reached Paris, Picasso was horrified by the reports of damage and death. (《格尔尼卡》取材于1937年4月27日的事件,当时阿道夫·希特勒的德国空军轰炸了毕加索在西班牙北部的家乡格尔尼卡,这座城市没有战略军事价值,造成三分之一的人口伤亡。当爆炸的消息传到巴黎时,毕加索对有关损失和死亡的报道感到震惊。)”可知,关于家乡苦难的报道直接启发了毕加索创作《格尔尼卡》。故选D项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第四段“On first glance, Guernica’s composition appears confusing, throwing the viewer in the midst of battle. The space is ambiguous with the changing perspectives and overlapping images from Picasso’s Cubist style, making it hard to distinguish their boundaries. However, there is in fact a visual order with figures arranged in three vertical groups moving left to right and central figures placed within a large triangle of light.(乍一看,《格尔尼卡》的构图似乎令人困惑,让观众置身于战斗之中。毕加索立体主义风格中不断变化的视角和重叠的图像使空间变得模糊不清,很难区分它们的边界。然而,实际上存在一种视觉顺序,人物排列在三个垂直的组中,从左向右移动,中心人物放置在一个大的三角光中。)”可知,本段主要谈这幅画的特征。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“In the end, the painting does not appear to have only one single meaning. Perhaps it is that very ambiguity, or the fact that cruel wars continue to be fought, that keeps Guernica as timeless and universally relatable today as it was in 1937. (最后,这幅画似乎并没有一个单一的意义。也许正是这种模糊性,或者残酷的战争仍在继续,使《格尔尼卡》像1937年一样永恒,具有普遍相关性。)”可知,作者认为这幅画似乎并没有一个单一的意义,仁者见仁智者见智,所以A项A thousand Hamlets exist in a thousand eyes (一千只眼睛里有一千只哈姆雷特)符合文意。故选A项。
C
“Music will forever be humanity’s most effective and consistent source of inspiration and motivation, and, we have learned, music turns out to be our most solid common ground for establishing communication between teachers and students which is where education begins.”
—— Stevie Van Zandt
The legendary guitarist Stevie Van Zandt has called on England’s schools to use music to attract young people. He founded TeachRock, an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum (课程).
Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US after the introduction of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, with its stress on annual testing, academic progress and report cards. Now it is being adopted in schools in England in the Beckmead, which provides education for children and young people with complex needs. Van Zandt was visiting to see his programme in action.
Many of the students at Beckmead are among the most disadvantaged in the country. Some have already been in youth offender institutions (少管所). While providing them with excellent education and care, it is also critical that we attract them to attend. TeachRock has proved hugely successful. Additionally, research has shown that music plays a key role in supporting brain development, language, motor skills, social cooperation skills and emotional intelligence.
Van Zandt watched interestedly as 17-year-old Kerniel performed a song he had written, and applauded enthusiastically after a performance by a group of students playing guitars given by a charity. Some of them had not held a guitar until a few weeks ago. “It’s amazing!” said Van Zandt, “A lot of kids are just not comfortable with the accuracy of basic science or maths. They don’t see the reason for it. They don’t understand it.” Van Zandt believes in “meeting children on their own turf”, rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Kids come to school with gifts intact (完好的): imagination, curiosity, instinct, taste, opinions - and the traditional education is to have them leave those things outside the classroom.
8. What can we learn about TeachRock?
A. It is an online platform for self-learning.
B. It is only targeted at problem children.
C. It uses music to inspire children to learn.
D. It keeps music in slower students’ DNA.
9. What might Van Zandt agree with according to the text?
A. Music should have a place in education.
B. Music keeps children from breaking the law.
C. Music outweighs science in school curriculum.
D. All children can learn to play the guitar quickly.
10. What does “meeting children on their own turf” in the last paragraph mean?
A. All students should be taught in the same way.
B. Education should be tailored to students’ needs.
C. Students should attend lessons at their own home.
D. Science and maths should be removed from curriculum.
11. Which column may the text appear in a newspaper?
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Science. D. Music.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了音乐项目TeachRock如何帮助英国学校吸引学生并支持他们的全面发展。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“He founded TeachRock, an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum (课程). (他创立了TeachRock,一个利用音乐帮助学生学习课程的在线项目。)”可知,TeachRock是一个在线项目,用音乐来激励孩子们学习。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US after the introduction of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, with its stress on annual testing, academic progress and report cards. (Van Zandt在2001年《不让一个孩子掉队法案》出台后,推出了TeachRock,作为将艺术融入美国公共教育体系DNA的一种方式,该法案强调年度测试、学业进步和成绩单。)”可知,Van Zandt推出TeachRock是为了保持艺术在美国公共教育系统中的地位。再由第二段中“He founded TeachRock, an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum (课程). (他创立了TeachRock,一个利用音乐帮助学生学习课程的在线项目。)”可知,TeachRock是一个在线项目,它利用音乐来帮助学生接触课程。由此可推知,Van Zandt可能同意“音乐在教育中应该有一席之地”。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“ Van Zandt believes in “meeting children on their own turf”, rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Kids come to school with gifts intact (完好的): imagination, curiosity, instinct, taste, opinions - and the traditional education is to have them leave those things outside the classroom. (Van Zandt相信“meeting children on their own turf”,而不是实施一套一刀切的课程。孩子们带着完整的天赋来到学校:想象力、好奇心、本能、品味、观点——而传统的教育是让他们把这些东西留在教室外面。)”可知,孩子们带着完整的天赋来到学校:想象力、好奇心、本能、品味、观点——而传统教育却让他们把这些留在教室外面。Van Zandt认为学校不应该实行一刀切的课程,应该根据孩子们的需要进行教育。meeting children on their own turf意思是“教育应该根据学生的需要进行”。A. All students should be taught in the same way所有学生都应该用同样的方式教学;B. Education should be tailored to students’ needs教育应该根据学生的需要进行;C. Students should attend lessons at their own home学生应该在自己家里上课;D. Science and maths should be removed from curriculum科学和数学应该从课程中移除。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段“The legendary guitarist Stevie Van Zandt has called on England’s schools to use music to attract young people. He founded TeachRock, an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum (课程). (传奇吉他手Stevie Van Zandt呼吁英国学校用音乐来吸引年轻人。他创立了TeachRock,一个利用音乐帮助学生学习课程的在线项目。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Stevie Van Zandt通过TeachRock项目利用音乐来帮助学生学习课程,并强调了音乐在教育中的重要性。由此可推知,这篇文章可能会出现在报纸的“教育”专栏。故选A。
D
I want to be successful. That person is successful. So that person can teach me how to be successful. This theory helps explain the springing up of podcasts, books and speeches devoted to the secrets of high performance. It is one reason why executive-leadership courses draw on case studies from well beyond business: politics, the army and even the Roman Empire. And it has been much apparent before and during the Olympics, which end in Paris on August 11th.
Executives (主管) attend events in which Olympians describe what makes them successful. What can CEOs learn from the world’s best athletes? Actually, there are threads that connect sporting success and business success. Getting to the games requires 100% commitment and hard work. Sporting excellence rests on the efforts of multiple people, not just a single individual. The people on the platform in Paris are competitive and resilient (适应力强). It is true that all these things are helpful in the workplace.
If some of the similarities between sports and the workplace are cliché (老生常谈), many of the differences are too big to be helpful. Sporting events have clear standards for winning or losing; most jobs lack this. A four-year Olympic cycle building to a match that may last only seconds has few similar examples in business.
The athletes who win medals at the games are blessed not just with determination but also natural gifts. The job of managers is partly to discover such superstars, but their real task is getting the best out of a workforce whose talents will vary and whose jobs will not depend as heavily on genetics (遗传). “As soon as I saw that kid log on, I knew he was special.” are words you do not often hear.
Whether similarities or differences, these are not really why people listen to the podcasts or turn up at the events. They want a simple recipe for success. And they want to hear what it is like to run faster or jump higher than anyone else. They want to hear stories that can have no practical value back in the office. If they can pretend it’s good for their career, so much the better.
12. Why does the author mention the theory in Paragraph 1?
A. To prove a point. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To present a fact. D. To explain a concept.
13. Why do CEOs turn to Olympians?
A. To seek business partners. B. To get the secrets to success.
C. To prove the truth of a theory. D. To expand their social circle.
14. What is the author’s attitude to learning from Olympians?
A Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. What can Olympians teach CEOs?
B. How do CEOs differ from Olympians?
C. What is the recipe for business success?
D. Why are Olympians more successful than CEOs?
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A

And it has been much apparent before and during the Olympics, which end in Paris on August 11th. (我想成功。那个人是成功的。这样那个人就可以教我如何成功。这一理论有助于解释播客、书籍和演讲的兴起,它们致力于高绩效的秘密。这就是为什么高管领导力课程借鉴了商业以外的案例研究的原因之一:政治、军队甚至罗马帝国。在8月11日于巴黎结束的奥运会之前和期间,这一点非常明显。)”以及下文可知,文章第一段提到理论是为了引出话题,即运用奥运赛场上获奖运动员案例是否可以帮助我们成功。故选B项。

(他们想要一个简单的成功秘诀。他们想听听比其他人跑得更快或跳得更高是什么感觉。他们希望在办公室里听到没有实际价值的故事。如果他们能假装这对他们的职业生涯有好处,那就更好了。)”以及上文可知,作者对向奥运选手学习的态度是质疑的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Executives attend events in which Olympians describe what makes them successful. What can CEOs learn from the world’s best athletes?

(如果说体育运动和职场之间的一些相似之处是老生常谈的话,那么它们之间的许多差异就太大了,以致于事无补。)”以及上下文可知,文章就奥运上获奖运动员的故事是否能促使我们在工作场上成功提出了讨论。所以A项What can Olympians teach CEOs? (奥运选手能教CEO什么?)符合文意。故选A项。

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。其中有两项为多余选项。
Emptiness
Have you ever felt like floating in a vast ocean with no land in sight? ____16____ But it’s not just about physical loneliness or a lack of excitement. It is typically emptiness—the result of feeling unaccomplished in life.
____17____ This feeling can appear at various stages and is often linked to major life events or changes. In our teens, we’re figuring out who we are and where we fit in the world. It’s a time of great discovery but also confusion. This can sometimes lead to a strong sense of emptiness as we struggle with our identity. Moving into early adulthood, many people experience the so-called “quarter-life crisis”. The pressures of establishing a career, maintaining relationships, and learning to be an adult can make this feeling stronger. ____18____ In fact, it might become even stronger due to factors such as experiencing a bottleneck in career or children leaving home. Entering into later life brings its own set of challenges too. Retiring from work, losing loved ones or facing health problems could all contribute to this emotion.
It’s important to admit that feeling empty occasionally is a part of the human experience. ____19____ One tried-and-true method is mindfulness meditation (正念冥想). Research shows that it can help us become more aware of our feelings and thoughts, making it easier for us to deal with them instead of feeling lost. Remember, though, it’s important not to contain these feelings. ____20____ Besides, participating in activities that bring joy can also relieve feelings of emptiness. These might include creative activities like painting or writing, physical activities such as hiking or cycling, or simply spending time with loved ones.
In truth, managing an “empty feeling” takes practice and patience but believe me when I say—it gets better!
A. Sharing experiences within a group can lead to a sense of belonging.
B. Besides, understanding and addressing this “empty feeling” isn’t easy
C. People commonly describe this feeling as a sense of loneliness or boredom.
D. In our journey through life, it’s not uncommon to experience periods of emptiness.
E. However, if this feeling persists and negatively affects your life, it’s advisable to seek help.
F. Emotions are there for a reason and recognizing them is a critical part of the healing process.
G. As I reflect on middle age, it’s clear that empty feelings don’t simply disappear as we grow older.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. F
【解析】

【18题详解】
根据空格前的“The pressures of establishing a career, maintaining relationships, and learning to be an adult can make this feeling stronger.(建立事业、维持关系和学习成为一个成年人的压力会让这种感觉更强烈。)”表示一些因素让空虚感变得更强烈,后文“In fact, it might become even stronger due to factors such as experiencing a bottleneck in career or children leaving home.(事实上,由于经历职业瓶颈或孩子离家等因素,这种情绪可能会变得更加强烈。)”表示什么情况下这种情绪更强烈,G选项“当我反思中年时,很明显,空虚的感觉并不会随着我们年龄的增长而消失”表示随着年龄的增大,空虚感不会消失,反而会更强烈。该选项承上启下,且空前句和空后句构成一个人成长的过程。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据空格前的“It’s important to admit that feeling empty occasionally is a part of the human experience. (重要的是要承认,偶尔感到空虚是人类经历的一部分。)”和空格后的“One tried-and-true method is mindfulness meditation(正念冥想). (一个经过验证的方法是正念冥想。)”可知,偶然的空虚是正常的,但是过度的空虚会产生危害,E选项“然而,如果这种感觉持续存在并对你的生活产生负面影响,建议你寻求帮助。”与前文进行转折,提到病态的空虚感需要寻求帮助,后文提到了一些对抗空虚感的方法。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据空格前的“Remember, though, it’s important not to contain these feelings. (不过,记住不要压抑这些感受也很重要。)”说明不应该压抑这种感受,因为它是人类的情绪的自然反应,F选项“情绪的存在是有原因的,识别它们是治愈过程的关键部分。”说明为什么不应该压抑这种感受。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了《黑神话:悟空》如何通过现代科技和流行文化为传统文化注入新活力。
【36题详解】
考查动词。句意:《黑神话:悟空》的成功是流行文化和技术如何能为传统文化注入新活力的最新例证。本空用动词breathe,breathe new life into“注入活力”,位于情态动词can后,用动词原形。故填breathe。
【37题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:这款游戏以经典名著《西游记》为基础,该名著已被无数次改编成电影或电视剧。which引导的定语从句中,adapt“改编”这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,从句时态应用现在完成时,which指代前面的“Journey to the West”,与adapt“改编”之间是被动关系,从句用现在完成时的被动语态,which指代前面的“Journey to the West”,视为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has been adapted。
【38题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:虽然之前已有视频游戏版本,但《黑神话:悟空》与它们不同。前后句意存在转折关系,应用although/though“虽然”引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Although或Though。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:在使用尖端技术为玩家带来兴奋的同时,它还通过对现实生活中的寺庙和塔楼的描述强调了传统。employ“使用”。当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时或从句主语为it,且从句含有be动词时,可以省略状语从句的主语和be动词。while引导的时间状语从句中完整形式为while it is _____ (employ) cutting-edge technology,故本空用employing,与空前的is构成现在进行时。故填employing。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:在使用尖端技术为玩家带来兴奋的同时,它还通过对现实生活中的寺庙和塔楼的描述强调了传统。本空用名词emphasis,作lays的宾语。lay emphasis on为固定短语,意为“强调”。故填emphasis。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:自发布以来,游客们纷纷涌入山西,参观游戏中出现的古迹。本句谓语为have been flooding,此处为非谓语动词,feature意为“以……为特色”,与historical sites之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,用过去分词,作后置定语。故填featured。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在第二层,无头佛灵吉弹奏一个中国传统乐器三弦,唱着“成败、生死,皆非所愿”。此处泛指“一个中国传统乐器三弦”,且traditional以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:尽管它看起来很传统,但新旧之间的这种碰撞实际上创造了一些对所有观众都有吸引力的流行事物。本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是something popular,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,且先行词为不定代词,应用关系代词that引导。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:传统文化为我们提供了一种认同感,给了我们所需要的价值观——努力工作、爱家庭、对与错的意识——让我们过上有意义的生活。live...lives“过……的生活”。本句谓语为provides,此处为非谓语动词,此处用live的不定式,作目的状语。故填to live。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:流行文化和现代技术并没有取代传统,而是丰富了这种文化遗产,使其在不失去本质的情况下接触到更广泛的受众。本空用介词without,意为“没有”,符合句意。故填without。

【答案】Dear Joy,
Hearing that you are interested in Chinese music, I’m more than delighted to introduce High Mountains and Flowing Water to you.
This piece of music is associated with two figures: Boya and Zhong Ziqi. One day, as Boya plays the qin, Zhong Ziqi visualizes images of high mountains and flowing water in his mind upon hearing the melody. Coincidentally, Boya just intends to name this piece High Mountains and Flowing Water and the story has become a symbol of zhiyin in Chinese since.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had no idea how confusing Mother’s Day could be until something happened during Writing Club at the library. We had different topics to write about each week. And the third week, our librarian, Mr. Sendak, put lots of cookbooks on every table.
“Mother’s Day falls on this Sunday. Today we’re going to write down food memories related to your mothers,” said Mr. Sendak. “Let’s see if the pictures in these cookbooks remind you of anything your mother cooked and you especially loved to eat or drink growing up. Write your story down.”
“Yes! I love it!” my friend Ollie said, grabbing a book of chocolate recipes.
I started turning the pages of a breakfast cookbook and stopped at a recipe for Belgian waffles (华夫饼).
“Oooh!” I said, “This makes me think of the time my mum made fancy blueberry waffles for my fifth birthday and my parents let me pour my own syrup.”
“Syrup is the best part!” said James, a new friend that Ollie and I had met at Writing Club.
“I’m going to write about that!” I smiled.
“Chocolate cake,” Ollie said as he looked through the pictures. “Oh! Mexican hot chocolate. That’s it! I remember the first time I was in hospital! I was so sad and sore until my mum made me some special hot cocoa. I’m going to write about that.”
James just kept flipping through the books.
“What’s your favorite food memory?” I asked.
James shrugged (耸肩).
“Come on,” said Ollie. “We want to hear about it!”
James sighed, put down his cookbook, and said, “Saturday night was always breakfast-for-dinner night. My mum used to make the best French toast with apple butter.”
“Yum!” I said, “How did you start that tradition?”
But James didn’t answer. He just picked up his pen and started to write.
Half an hour later, when it was time to say goodbye, Ollie said, “Hey, I just had a genius idea. If we put our waffles, French toast, and hot- cocoa recipes together, we could make an amazing Mother’s Day brunch for our mothers.”
“Yes!” I shouted loudly, “I bet my parents will let us have it in our backyard (后院). Do come with your mothers.”
James put his backpack over his shoulder. “Sorry. I’m busy that day.”
Ollie laughed. “Do you know the future? We didn’t even choose a day yet.”
James took a deep breath, a sad look on his face.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Sunday morning, James and his father came to join us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
James took a deep breath, a sad look on his face. “Actually”, he said, “my mom doesn’t live with my dad and me right now.” So surprised were Ollie and I that we stood there, speechless. James explained that his mum had to be in prison for a while and he hardly ever got to see her. “I miss her so much”, he added in a choked voice. Hearing that, Ollie and I immediately understood his tough situation. “How about inviting your dad this Sunday morning?” Ollie suggested, eager to cheer him up. Though hesitant, James called his father with Ollie’s cellphone. Luckily, his father agreed to come, which made James and me jump with joy.
On Sunday morning, James and his dad came to join us. In the backyard of our house, we three families cooked waffles, French toast and hot cocoa together. It was a lot of work; however, it was worth the effort when we shared the food together, especially when we saw smiles on James’s face. The food turned out great and everyone had a wonderful time. James planned to send his mum photos from our brunch, firmly believing his mom would love them. On that special Mother’s Day, it dawned on me that it’s important to be as kind as possible to others because you never really know what other people are going through.
Possible version 2:
James took a deep breath, a sad look on his face. “My mum... she passed away during an accident last year.” So shocked were Ollie and I that we stood there, unable to utter a word. “I miss her so much”, he added in a choked voice. Hearing that, Ollie and I immediately understood his tough situation. “Terribly sorry to hear that. But how about asking your dad to join us this Sunday morning?” Ollie hugged him tightly, eager to comfort him. James seemed hesitant at first, but nodded his head after a while, which made Ollie and I jump with joy.
On Sunday morning, James and his dad came to join us. The backyard was filled with the pleasant smell of waffles, French toast, and hot cocoa. We all shared stories about our mothers as we enjoyed the special brunch. James spoke softly about his mom, reminiscing about their Saturday night breakfast-for-dinner traditions. His father had a warm smile on his face as he listened and everyone present had a deliciously good time. My gaze met Ollie’s and we both smiled. It was a beautiful day filled with love and memories, the party a celebration of mothers past and present.
