Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.
A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started volunteering his car to the young people, Wilson has covered an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous conversations with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he’s driven have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they’ve also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even call him “Grandpa”.
Tina Stern received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free transportation. “It’s not just a ride; you’re not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on,” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll check on those things.
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to assist them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never hesitates to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely necessary for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others have to share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has allowed them to complete their education-but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience, “I just love driving, and I love these kids,” Wilson said. “It’s such a privilege (荣耀) to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.”
36. Paul Wilson began offering free rides when _____.
A. he was 68 years old. B. he worked as an engineer.
C. he set up On Point for College. D. he finished driving 64,000 miles.
37. What does Tina-Stern think of Paul Wilson’s service?
A. It functions as a transportation solution. B. It saves students from traffic jams.
C. It provides emotional connection. D. It ensures timely arrival at class.
38. Which of the following can best describe Wilson?
A. Caring and kind. B. Strict and demanding.
C. Intelligent and traditional. D. Responsible and business-minded.
39. Wilson considers helping students as “a privilege” primarily to ______.
A show his pride in his engineering career B. illustrate his intention to be a role model
C. highlight the emotional rewards he gains D. emphasize the economic sacrifices he makes
40. What message does the story convey?
A. Community programs solve education inequality.
B. Acts of kindness can bring rewards to both sides.
C. Retirement offers opportunities for volunteering.
D. Young people need role models to succeed.
C
Optical illusions (视错觉) are great fun, and they fool almost everyone. But have you ever wondered if you could train yourself to unsee these illusions? Our latest research suggests that you can.
Take a look at the picture below. The black circle on your right appears to be bigger than the left one, right? But they are in fact the same. This happens because your visual system uses context to figure out what you are seeing: something surrounded by smaller things is often quite big. This classic example of optical illusion was discovered by German psychologist Herman Ebbinghaus in the 19th century, and scientists have been studying it and similar illusions ever since.
Earlier studies show that how much people are affected by optical illusions depends on different kinds of factors. For example, women see things more in context and are more affected by the illusion than men. Young children, on the other hand, do not see illusions at all, because it takes them time to learn how to use context clues.
Culture also plays a role. Research has found that Japanese people experience more obvious effects than British people in this kind of illusion. It’s because East Asian perception (认知) tends to take everything into account while Western perception focuses more on central objects.
Despite all these individual differences, scientists have always thought that you have no choice over whether you see the illusion or not.
Our recent research challenges this idea by comparing the judgments of illusions made by 44 radiologists (放射科医生) to those of over 100 psychologists and medical students. Radiologists take part in an intensive training to ignore surrounding details and quickly spot very important information in medical scans, which seems to make them better at seeing through illusions.
Below is an image used in our experiment. The white circle on the left is 6 percent smaller than the one on the right, but most people who took part t in the experiment—radiologist or not—saw it as larger. We gradually reduced the size of the left circle. Most radiologists saw through it when the left circle is 10 percent smaller than the right one, while most non-radiologists did not until the difference was nearly 18 percent.
There is still much to discover, and perhaps the most exciting finding is that training with optical illusions can improve radiologists’ skills in their work.
41. Why are young children rarely affected by optical illusions?
A. They are more focused. B. They have better eyesight.
C. They haven’t learned to use context yet. D. They are too young to understand images.
42 What do the underlined words “this idea” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Westerners are more self-centered and confident.
B. Culture influences how people view optical illusions.
C. Women are more affected by optical illusions than men.
D. People have no control over how they perceive optical illusions.
43. What does the result of the recent research indicate?
A. Children can avoid illusion naturally.
B. East Asians are more affected by illusions.
C. Optical illusions appear in specific types of images.
D. Radiologists can be trained to unsee optical illusions.
44. What skill can radiologists improve through illusion training?
A. Creating medical images. B. Identifying color changes.
C. Noticing key details in scans. D. Operating scanning machines.
45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Optical illusions are fun but always fool us.
B. Training can help people be less fooled by illusions.
C. Cultural background has a strong effect on optical illusions.
D. Radiologists use illusions to improve their medical scanning.

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼,沮丧). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his eyes suddenly bright with determination. “I want to run,” he declared, straightening his small shoulders. His body rocked from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!”
To everyone’s joy, he reached the finish line and ranked 20th. It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen.
46. Why was David standing alone by the fence? (no more than 10 words)

47. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words)

Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.
A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started volunteering his car to the young people, Wilson has covered an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous conversations with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he’s driven have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they’ve also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even call him “Grandpa”.
Tina Stern received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free transportation. “It’s not just a ride; you’re not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on,” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll check on those things.
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to assist them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never hesitates to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely necessary for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others have to share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has allowed them to complete their education-but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience, “I just love driving, and I love these kids,” Wilson said. “It’s such a privilege (荣耀) to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.”
36. Paul Wilson began offering free rides when _____.
A. he was 68 years old. B. he worked as an engineer.
C. he set up On Point for College. D. he finished driving 64,000 miles.
37. What does Tina-Stern think of Paul Wilson’s service?
A. It functions as a transportation solution. B. It saves students from traffic jams.
C. It provides emotional connection. D. It ensures timely arrival at class.
38. Which of the following can best describe Wilson?
A. Caring and kind. B. Strict and demanding.
C. Intelligent and traditional. D. Responsible and business-minded.
39. Wilson considers helping students as “a privilege” primarily to ______.
A. show his pride in his engineering career B. illustrate his intention to be a role model
C. highlight the emotional rewards he gains D. emphasize the economic sacrifices he makes
40. What message does the story convey?
A. Community programs solve education inequality.
B. Acts of kindness can bring rewards to both sides.
C. Retirement offers opportunities for volunteering.
D. Young people need role models to succeed.

(斯特恩说:“这可不只是简单的乘车体验;你不会只是尴尬地沉默坐着或者戴着耳机而已。他会向你提问,并且还会记住你的回答,所以下次你和他一起乘车时,他会再次询问这些内容。”)”可知,蒂娜-斯特恩认为保罗·威尔逊的服务能带来情感上的联结。故选C。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students.(威尔逊最初是通过一家名为“为大学提供支持”的非营利组织的学生支持项目成为一名司机的。尽管该项目仅要求成员接送学生上下课,但威尔逊常常会主动去做更多事情,以确保学生的安全和福祉)”以及“If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed.

Optical illusions (视错觉) are great fun, and they fool almost everyone. But have you ever wondered if you could train yourself to unsee these illusions? Our latest research suggests that you can.
Take a look at the picture below. The black circle on your right appears to be bigger than the left one, right? But they are in fact the same. This happens because your visual system uses context to figure out what you are seeing: something surrounded by smaller things is often quite big. This classic example of optical illusion was discovered by German psychologist Herman Ebbinghaus in the 19th century, and scientists have been studying it and similar illusions ever since.
Earlier studies show that how much people are affected by optical illusions depends on different kinds of factors. For example, women see things more in context and are more affected by the illusion than men. Young children, on the other hand, do not see illusions at all, because it takes them time to learn how to use context clues.
Culture also plays a role. Research has found that Japanese people experience more obvious effects than British people in this kind of illusion. It’s because East Asian perception (认知) tends to take everything into account while Western perception focuses more on central objects.
Despite all these individual differences, scientists have always thought that you have no choice over whether you see the illusion or not.
Our recent research challenges this idea by comparing the judgments of illusions made by 44 radiologists (放射科医生) to those of over 100 psychologists and medical students. Radiologists take part in an intensive training to ignore surrounding details and quickly spot very important information in medical scans, which seems to make them better at seeing through illusions.
Below is an image used in our experiment. The white circle on the left is 6 percent smaller than the one on the right, but most people who took part t in the experiment—radiologist or not—saw it as larger. We gradually reduced the size of the left circle. Most radiologists saw through it when the left circle is 10 percent smaller than the right one, while most non-radiologists did not until the difference was nearly 18 percent.
There is still much to discover, and perhaps the most exciting finding is that training with optical illusions can improve radiologists’ skills in their work.

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼,沮丧). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his eyes suddenly bright with determination. “I want to run,” he declared, straightening his small shoulders. His body rocked from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!”
To everyone’s joy, he reached the finish line and ranked 20th. It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen.

Dear Chris,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Jin
【答案】One possible version:
Dear Chris,
It’s exciting that you’re joining the “Smart Campus” competition! I highly recommend proposing a smart school dining ordering system where students can pre-order meals via an app to reduce queues.
Here is why this works. First of all, it saves time effectively because students won’t waste breaks waiting in long lines, which currently causes stress during short lunch periods. Moreover, it minimizes food waste since the system can predict demand accurately based on pre-orders. By contrast, traditional cafeterias often prepare excess food.
I’d be happy to brainstorm more features with you, such as nutritional tracking or payment integration. With your creativity, this proposal will surely impress the judges!
Yours,
Li Jin
