Now in its 10th year, the biggest and exciting festival to hit the Okanagan includes three days packed with extreme sports, sandy beaches, and some of the biggest DJ names in the world.

They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bar k excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. To prevent or treat behavior problems, you are supposed to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training or training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 4. Which statement about dogs’ behavior problems is true? A. They result from training. B. They’re just part of nature. C. They’re wrong dog activities. D. They will be worse unless punished. 5. What is the purpose of dog training? A. To make dogs respect authority. B. To give dogs outlets for their behavior. C. To solve all their behavior problems. D. To teach dogs to perform clever tricks. 6. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A. To get respect from masters. B. To show their willingness to obey. C. To establish the social rank order. D. To show their affection for their masters. 7. What might a dog with effective obedience training get? A. More foods. B. More safety. C. More freedom. D. More love. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述狗是社会性的动物，它们需要训练才能和谐的生活在人们的家里。最基本的训练是让狗听从你的命令，这种训练能让狗懂得社会地位的差异，在训练中要有奖赏。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing.”（几乎所有的行为问题都是狗在错误的时间或地点发生的完全正常的狗的活动）可知，狗的行为问题只是本性的一部分，故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To prevent or treat behavior problems, you are supposed to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.”（为了预防或治疗行为问题，你应该教狗狗把它的正常行为转移到家庭环境中可以接受的发泄途径。）可知，训练狗的目的是给狗的行为提供合适的发泄途径，故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.”（大多数狗喜欢给你表演技巧，让你愉快地接受你是主人。）可知，狗是让人知道自己处于主导地位，愿意顺从人。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.”（一只受过良好训练的狗比一只未经训练的动物更自信，也更安全，被允许拥有更多的自由）可知，训练有素的狗比未经训练的动物更自信，可以更安全地获得更多的自由，故选C项。 C When I was young, my family treated every vacation as a lesson in culture. We skipped beaches and amusement parks, heading instead to castles, museums, and ancient ruins. I remember being ten, standing before a 500-year-old painting, secretly wishing I were at a swimming pool. As an adult, I carried on this tradition. When planning trips, I gathered guidebooks, eager to explore every cultural site. I felt it was my duty to absorb as much as possible about the places I visited. This mindset shaped my travels, yet it often made them tense and hurried. I was constantly rushing from one landmark to another, trying to stuff in facts and history, frequently forgetting to simply appreciate the moment. However, everything changed on a short trip to Bequia, a small island in the Caribbean. I arrived with the usual expectations but soon realized there were no famous museums or historic landmarks to explore. Instead, there were peaceful beaches, calm crystal-clear waters, and warm, welcoming locals. At first, this felt unfamiliar and even disappointing. I grew restless with boredom, struggling to fill my days with the kind of meaningful activities I was used to. As the days passed, I gradually let go of the need to “do something important.” I began to delight in simple pleasures: reading books purely for enjoyment, wandering along the sandy shore without a plan, and watching the ocean waves roll in without overthinking their meaning. For the first time, I felt truly relaxed. I experienced the quiet joy of simply being present, free from pressure or expectations. By the end of my stay, I understood something vital: travel doesn’t always have to be about learning or sightseeing. Sometimes, its greatest gift is found in embracing the moment and enabling yourself to experience stillness. I returned home with a fresh insight that true travel is not just about discovering the world outside, but also about uncovering a deeper peace within. 8. How did the author find the travel in his childhood? A. In line with his interests. B. Centered on family bonds. C. More like a cultural duty. D. Filled with expectations. 9. Why did the author feel uneasy when he arrived at Bequia? A. The island was small and crowded. B. There were no expected landmarks. C. It was hard to communicate with locals. D. He hadn’t planned his daily activities in advance. 10. What did the trip to Bequia help the author realize? A. Short trips bring less comfort. B. Planning ensures perfect vacations. C. Culture is more powerful than nature. D. True travel includes moments of stillness. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Childhood of Cultural Travel. B. The Journey Without a Guidebook. C. Memories of Museums and Castles. D. The Search for Meaningful Journeys. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者从童年到成年执着于文化旅行，最终在加勒比小岛学会享受旅行中的宁静时刻。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was young, my family treated every vacation as a lesson in culture. We skipped beaches and amusement parks, heading instead to castles, museums, and ancient ruins.(小时候，我的家人把每一次度假都当作一堂文化课。我们不去海滩和游乐园，而是去城堡、博物馆和古代遗迹。)”及第二段中的“I felt it was my duty to absorb as much as possible about the places I visited.(我觉得尽可能多地了解我所访问的地方是我的责任。)”可知，作者童年的旅行更像是一种文化责任。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I arrived with the usual expectations but soon realized there were no famous museums or historic landmarks to explore. Instead, there were peaceful beaches, calm crystal-clear waters, and warm, welcoming locals. At first, this felt unfamiliar and even disappointing. I grew restless with boredom, struggling to fill my days with the kind of meaningful activities I was used to. (我带着平常的期待来到了这里，但很快发现这里并没有著名的博物馆或历史地标可供游览。取而代之的是宁静的海滩、清澈平静的海水，以及热情好客的当地人。起初，这一切让我感到陌生，甚至有些失望。我变得焦躁无聊，难以找到过去习惯的那种有意义的活动来充实我的每一天。)”可知，作者在贝基亚岛感到不安是因为没有预期的地标建筑。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“By the end of my stay, I understood something vital: travel doesn’t always have to be about learning or sightseeing. Sometimes, its greatest gift is found in embracing the moment and enabling yourself to experience stillness.(在停留快结束时，我明白了一个重要的道理：旅行并不总是必须关于学习或观光。有时，它最大的礼物在于拥抱当下，让自己体验宁静。)”可知，这次旅行让作者意识到真正的旅行包括宁静时刻。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“By the end of my stay, I understood something vital: travel doesn’t always have to be about learning or sightseeing. Sometimes, its greatest gift is found in embracing the moment and enabling yourself to experience stillness.(到我旅程结束时，我明白了至关重要的一点：旅行并不总是关于学习或观光。有时候，它最珍贵的馈赠在于拥抱当下，让自己体验宁静与安详。)”可知，全文围绕作者放弃传统“文化打卡式”旅行模式，在没有指南书和地标的小岛上学会享受旅行本质展开，所以“没有指南书的旅程”既象征脱离既定行程的束缚，也暗示对旅行本真的探索，最适合作为标题。故选B项。 D If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one. But is it? From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of tornadoes, the natural world is often quite complex. Why should we assume the simplest explanation is closest to the truth? This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as “rule of economy”. And it bears a family relationship to the “principle of least astonishment,” which holds that if an explanation is too surprising, it’s probably not right. The name comes from William of Ockham, a 14th-century scholastic philosopher. He created the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” The philosophical claim is a form of ontological minimalism: we should not invoke entities unless we have evidence that they exist. In other words, don’t make stuff up. In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what “pleases Nature”? Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out? Consider the world of Physics filled with explanations that are surprising, unexpected and hard to get your head around. Newton explained light as being made of particles, whereas other scientists explained it as a wave. Quantum mechanics, however, tells us light is both a wave and a particle. Newton’s account was simpler, but modern physics tells us the more complex model is closer to the truth. When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer. Occam’s razor is not a fact or even a theory. It’s a metaphysical (形而上学的) principle: an idea held independently of empirical (实证的) evidence. In human affairs, things are more often than not complex. Human motivations are typically multiple. People can be good and bad at the same time, selfish and selfless, depending on circumstances. The shelves of ethicists are filled with books thinking why good people do bad things, and their answers are rarely short and sweet. Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were. 12. Occam’s razor indicates that ________. A. explanations should be consistent with purposes B. sufficient causes can explain natural phenomena C. reasonable explanations are rarely surprising D. simpler explanations should be preferred 13. Why is Newton’s view on simplicity problematic? A. It assumes unknown truths. B. It lacks experimental support. C. It conflicts quantum physics. D. It overlooks biological complexity. 14. What is against tobacco industry’s “simple” cancer claim? A. Random chance occurrence. B. Disease’s natural complexity. C. Long-term health statistics. D. Smokers’ behavioral differences. 15. It’s implied in the passage that we need to ________. A. follow the laws of nature. B. balance accuracy and simplicity. C. interpret the world as it is. D. highlight the existence of entities. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥卡姆剃刀理论，该理论主张最简单的解释往往更接近真相，但科学和现实世界的复杂性表明，这一原则并非绝对，真理有时并不简单。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say ‘the best explanation is the simplest one. (如果你曾和科学家们相处过，你很可能会听到他们中的一位说“最好的解释是最简单的一个)”以及第二段中“This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as ‘rule of economy’. (这个想法被称为奥卡姆剃刀理论。它也被称为“经济法则”)”可知，奥卡姆剃刀理论指的是简单的解释应该被优先考虑。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what ‘pleases Nature’? Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out? (1687年，艾萨克・牛顿用他的“真正原因”概念进一步阐述了这一观点 —— 所谓真正的原因，是指我们只应认可那些既真实存在、又足以解释自然现象的原因。他还补充说，大自然不会做徒劳无功之事，且偏爱简洁。尽管牛顿是一位伟大的科学家，但这一说法似乎有些奇怪。谁能断言“什么能让大自然满意”呢？这种指导难道不正是假定了我们已经知晓了实际上正试图弄明白的东西吗？)”可知，牛顿认为自然乐于简单，但这种观点假设了人类能够知道什么能取悦自然，即它假设了未知的真理。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer.” (当我们转向生物学时，事情变得更加复杂。想象一下有两个吸烟者，他们每天抽一包烟，持续了30年。一个人得了癌症，另一个人没有。最简单的解释是什么？几十年来，烟草行业的回答是吸烟不会导致癌症。简单但错误。事实上，疾病是复杂的，我们还不了解癌症的所有因素)”可知，烟草行业认为吸烟不会导致癌症，这种简单的解释是错误的，因为疾病的复杂性，特别是癌症的成因涉及多种因素，所以疾病的自然复杂性反驳了烟草行业“简单”的癌症说法。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were. (我们的解释应该尽可能与世界相匹配。科学是让事物自然展开，有时这意味着接受真相并不简单，即使这样会让我们的生活更轻松)”可知，文章强调我们的解释应尽可能与世界实际情况相匹配，科学是让事物自然展开，有时需要接受真相并不简单。由此可推知，文章暗示我们需要实事求是地解释世界。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you have magnificent goals but aren't sure how to make them a reality, this article is for you. ____16____ In this article, we will examine high achievers' mindset, their core values, and their approaches to challenges.

But on this Wednesday afternoon, there was a roar of laughter that spread through the halls. It was coming from a table in the back. Books were piled so high that one could barely see the source of all the noise. Brian and Josie were hiding behind the mountain of history texts, their faces bright red from laughing. Mrs Cane the librarian, followed the laughter and then approached the table. As she cleared her throat and looked over the piles of books, Brian and Josie looked up to meet her gaze. Mrs Cane looked at the books, then at the kids. “And what is it you two are supposed to be working on?” Brian hesitated a moment, and then answered, “We’re working on a paper for our history class.” “I see,” Mrs Cane said harshly. “Perhaps one of the private reading rooms would be a better place for you to concentrate and study. Quietly.” The kids collected their books and their backpacks and followed Mrs Cane down a long hallway until they got to a dark row of doors. Mrs Cane pulled out a ring of keys from her pocket and unlocked a door. She turned on the light, which shone brightly overhead. The kids placed their books on the dusty table and reluctantly (不情愿地) climbed into the chairs. Brian and Josie shrugged (耸肩) and opened their books, finally focusing on the project at hand. Time was ticking away. After what seemed like hours, Brian and Josie decided to take a break and when Josie opened the door of the room, Brian’s eyes opened wide. The library was completely dark. Looking at his watch, he let out a gasp. “It’s 9:30! The library closed an hour ago!” Paragraph 1: Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: They heard a noise that sounded like a telephone ringing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone. Unfortunately, there was no cellphone inside. “I left my phone at home so we can not call anyone for help!” Brian cried out, and looked at Josie anxiously. Josie turned back, “Calm down, Brian. I remember seeing a telephone at the entrance to the library, maybe we can reach Mrs Cane on the telephone.” Then, in a hurry, Brian put the books into his backpack and left the room with Josie. It was dark outside, and the two kids tried to figure out where they should go. Slowly, they were inching towards the entrance, comforting each other. Paragraph 2 They heard a noise that sounded like a telephone ringing. They felt their way in the darkness toward the sound, and found a telephone on the wall. Trembling with excitement, Brian answered the phone, and heard Mrs Cane’s voice on the line: “Sorry, Brian. I forgot you and Josie were in the library. Now I’m coming to get you guys out.” Hanging up the phone, Brian breathed a sigh of relief. Just in a second, Mrs Cane arrived. Excited and overjoyed, Mrs Cane rushed forward and hugged the kids tightly, praising their calmness. It was through this accidental experience that Brian and Josie learned there is always a way out when a problem arises. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了布莱恩和乔西因为太过专注于手头的项目错过了图书馆关门的时间，被关在了图书馆里。两人努力保持冷静，最后找到了图书馆的电话，最终脱困。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“布莱恩在背包里找手机”可知，第一段可描写两人努力保持冷静，开始寻找图书馆电话的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们听到一声像电话铃响的声音”可知，第二段可描写他们找到图书馆的电话，被图书管理员救了出去的经过。 2.续写线索：找手机——没有手机——焦急——保持冷静——寻找电话——听到电话铃声——得救 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②联系：reach/get in touch with ③出现：arise/appear 情绪类 ①激动：excitement/thrill ②忧虑地：anxiously /with anxiety 【点睛】[高分句型1] Slowly, they were inching towards the entrance, comforting each other.

B Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bar k excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. To prevent or treat behavior problems, you are supposed to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training or training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 4. Which statement about dogs’ behavior problems is true? A. They result from training. B. They’re just part of nature. C. They’re wrong dog activities. D. They will be worse unless punished. 5. What is the purpose of dog training? A. To make dogs respect authority. B. To give dogs outlets for their behavior. C. To solve all their behavior problems. D. To teach dogs to perform clever tricks. 6. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A. To get respect from masters. B. To show their willingness to obey. C. To establish the social rank order. D. To show their affection for their masters. 7. What might a dog with effective obedience training get? A. More foods. B. More safety. C. More freedom. D. More love. C When I was young, my family treated every vacation as a lesson in culture. We skipped beaches and amusement parks, heading instead to castles, museums, and ancient ruins. I remember being ten, standing before a 500-year-old painting, secretly wishing I were at a swimming pool. As an adult, I carried on this tradition. When planning trips, I gathered guidebooks, eager to explore every cultural site. I felt it was my duty to absorb as much as possible about the places I visited. This mindset shaped my travels, yet it often made them tense and hurried. I was constantly rushing from one landmark to another, trying to stuff in facts and history, frequently forgetting to simply appreciate the moment. However, everything changed on a short trip to Bequia, a small island in the Caribbean. I arrived with the usual expectations but soon realized there were no famous museums or historic landmarks to explore. Instead, there were peaceful beaches, calm crystal-clear waters, and warm, welcoming locals. At first, this felt unfamiliar and even disappointing. I grew restless with boredom, struggling to fill my days with the kind of meaningful activities I was used to. As the days passed, I gradually let go of the need to “do something important.” I began to delight in simple pleasures: reading books purely for enjoyment, wandering along the sandy shore without a plan, and watching the ocean waves roll in without overthinking their meaning. For the first time, I felt truly relaxed. I experienced the quiet joy of simply being present, free from pressure or expectations. By the end of my stay, I understood something vital: travel doesn’t always have to be about learning or sightseeing. Sometimes, its greatest gift is found in embracing the moment and enabling yourself to experience stillness. I returned home with a fresh insight that true travel is not just about discovering the world outside, but also about uncovering a deeper peace within. 8. How did the author find the travel in his childhood? A. In line with his interests. B. Centered on family bonds. C. More like a cultural duty. D. Filled with expectations. 9. Why did the author feel uneasy when he arrived at Bequia? A. The island was small and crowded. B. There were no expected landmarks. C. It was hard to communicate with locals. D. He hadn’t planned his daily activities in advance. 10. What did the trip to Bequia help the author realize? A. Short trips bring less comfort. B. Planning ensures perfect vacations. C. Culture is more powerful than nature. D. True travel includes moments of stillness. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Childhood of Cultural Travel. B. The Journey Without a Guidebook. C. Memories of Museums and Castles. D. The Search for Meaningful Journeys. D If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one. But is it? From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of tornadoes, the natural world is often quite complex. Why should we assume the simplest explanation is closest to the truth? This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as “rule of economy”. And it bears a family relationship to the “principle of least astonishment,” which holds that if an explanation is too surprising, it’s probably not right. The name comes from William of Ockham, a 14th-century scholastic philosopher. He created the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” The philosophical claim is a form of ontological minimalism: we should not invoke entities unless we have evidence that they exist. In other words, don’t make stuff up. In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what “pleases Nature”? Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out? Consider the world of Physics filled with explanations that are surprising, unexpected and hard to get your head around. Newton explained light as being made of particles, whereas other scientists explained it as a wave. Quantum mechanics, however, tells us light is both a wave and a particle. Newton’s account was simpler, but modern physics tells us the more complex model is closer to the truth. When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer. Occam’s razor is not a fact or even a theory. It’s a metaphysical (形而上学的) principle: an idea held independently of empirical (实证的) evidence. In human affairs, things are more often than not complex. Human motivations are typically multiple. People can be good and bad at the same time, selfish and selfless, depending on circumstances. The shelves of ethicists are filled with books thinking why good people do bad things, and their answers are rarely short and sweet. Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were. 12. Occam’s razor indicates that ________. A. explanations should be consistent with purposes B. sufficient causes can explain natural phenomena C. reasonable explanations are rarely surprising D. simpler explanations should be preferred 13. Why is Newton’s view on simplicity problematic? A. It assumes unknown truths. B. It lacks experimental support. C. It conflicts quantum physics. D. It overlooks biological complexity. 14. What is against tobacco industry’s “simple” cancer claim? A. Random chance occurrence. B. Disease’s natural complexity. C. Long-term health statistics. D. Smokers’ behavioral differences. 15. It’s implied in the passage that we need to ________. A. follow the laws of nature. B. balance accuracy and simplicity. C. interpret the world as it is. D. highlight the existence of entities. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you have magnificent goals but aren't sure how to make them a reality, this article is for you. ____16____ In this article, we will examine high achievers' mindset, their core values, and their approaches to challenges.

But on this Wednesday afternoon, there was a roar of laughter that spread through the halls. It was coming from a table in the back. Books were piled so high that one could barely see the source of all the noise. Brian and Josie were hiding behind the mountain of history texts, their faces bright red from laughing. Mrs Cane, the librarian, followed the laughter and then approached the table. As she cleared her throat and looked over the piles of books, Brian and Josie looked up to meet her gaze. Mrs Cane looked at the books, then at the kids. “And what is it you two are supposed to be working on?” Brian hesitated a moment, and then answered, “We’re working on a paper for our history class.” “I see,” Mrs Cane said harshly. “Perhaps one of the private reading rooms would be a better place for you to concentrate and study. Quietly.” The kids collected their books and their backpacks and followed Mrs Cane down a long hallway until they got to a dark row of doors. Mrs Cane pulled out a ring of keys from her pocket and unlocked a door. She turned on the light, which shone brightly overhead. The kids placed their books on the dusty table and reluctantly (不情愿地) climbed into the chairs. Brian and Josie shrugged (耸肩) and opened their books, finally focusing on the project at hand. Time was ticking away. After what seemed like hours, Brian and Josie decided to take a break and when Josie opened the door of the room, Brian’s eyes opened wide. The library was completely dark. Looking at his watch, he let out a gasp. “It’s 9:30! The library closed an hour ago!” Paragraph 1: Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: They heard a noise that sounded like a telephone ringing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
