第一节
Dear Eric,
I recommend Beijing Shihuadong National Geopark in Fangshan District.
Shihuadong is a seven-story cave, which was formed 70 million years ago. The inside is a fairyland on earth. You will be amazed at Nature's creativity. The first to the sixth stories are cave landscapes, and the seventh story is an underground river. The stones are in various shapes and sizes, such as flowers, mushrooms, towers, waterfalls and so on.
You can take bus special line 917 to Shihuadong. If you have any difficulty in getting there, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 (满分25分)
As the days went by Rosa and Emily became good friends. They spent their lunch breaks together, exploring different corners of the playground and sharing more stories about their lives. Emily introduced Rosa to her friends. With Emily’s support, Rosa began to feel more confident and comfortable in her new school. She even started to enjoy the rainy days, seeing them as a unique part of her new home. Her English improved, and she found herself understanding people better. Most importantly, she realized that having a friend like Emily made all the difference.
One day, Emily invited Rosa to a picnic in the park. It was a sunny day, and the park was full of people enjoying the weather. Rosa was nervous at first, but Emily’s encouragement helped her relax. They spread out a blanket under a big tree, and shared food. Rosa felt a sense of belonging she hadn’t felt since leaving Tehran. Watching the kites flying in the sky, Rosa realized that London wasn’t so strange after all. She had found a new family among her friends, and she was finally starting to feel at home.

In about a week I will start one of my most expected adventures ever. Sarek National Park will be a mission. It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude ( 独处), wildness and a connection with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness.
The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of all, there are no huts ( 棚屋) or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to make my own route with GPS and maps.
In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there're not many places to shelter from it because there are hardly any trees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear ( 装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.
24. What kind of destination does the author consider Sarek National Park to be?
A. Popular and convenient. B. Busy and well-connected.
C. Remote and forest-covered. D. Attractive and demanding.
25. What does the underlined word “uncharted” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Not vast. B. Not accepted.
C. Not explored. D. Not dangerous.
26. What will the author do in Sarek National Park?
A. Make a map of Sarek. B. Build shelters for tourists.
C. Reach the depths of Sarek. D. Measure the rainfall of Sarek.
27. What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To explain why there are few trees there.
B. To recommend ways of finding good campsites.
C. To discuss causes of heavy rains and strong wind.
D. To remind possible travelers of the challenging weather.
C
At 6 a.m. in an English village, hundreds of pinkish white sows are waking up for breakfast. But first, they have to get their pictures taken. As each pig squeezes into her feeding area, a tiny camera snaps a photo of her face. And in less than 1 second, an artificial intelligence system identifies her based on facial features. Armed with that information, the AIorders a customized meal to shoot into the trough (食槽).
Meanwhile, the system continues to analyze her photo, looking for negative signs in her facial expression that she might be in pain, sick, or in emotional distress. If it finds any, it sends an immediate alert to the farmer — the guy enjoying a morning coffee over in the next room.
These hungry piggies are the testers of Intellipig, a system being developed by scientists to deal with a fundamental problem in animal welfare: we human beings are just not the best at understanding how animals are feeling.
Tools like Intellipig could usher in (开启) a new era of caring for animals that gives higher priority to their health, welfare, and protection, says Melvyn Smith, an engineer leading the design of the Intellipig system. There are indications that they could go even further. Eventually, AI might even outshine humans in interpreting a range of more complex emotions like happiness, frustration, or fear, he says — feelings that are equally important to understand if we are to give animals the best possible lives.
But like most scientists considering the powers of AI, animal behavior researchers worry about putting too much stock in machines, especially when animal welfare is at risk. “Maybe a machine will end up being better than us; I don’t know,” says Emma Baxter, an animal behavior scientist. “I hope there’s room for experts, to make sure that the AI is actually doing what it says it is.”
28. What can the Intellipig system do automatically?
A. Monitor pigs’ well-being. B. Clean pigs’ living spaces.
C. Deliver medical services to pigs. D. Provide standardized diets for pigs.
29. What is Melvyn Smith’s attitude towards AI’s role in animal care?
A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Skeptical.
30. What approach does Emma Baxter support when it comes to AI and animal care?
A. Banning the use of AI. B. Restricting AI to basic tasks.
C. Keeping professionals involved. D. Minimizing human intervention.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Intellipig: AI Provides 24/7 Animal Care
B. Intellipig: AI Can Understand Animal Speech
C. Intellipig: AI Replaces Farmers in Animal Care
D. Intellipig: AI Assists in Detecting Animal Emotions
D
When it comes to problem-solving, virtually everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations (方程式),” he once said in an interview.
In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity—while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time.
The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments.
Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively.
32. What does the example of Roger Penrose illustrate?
A. Visual images help solve a problem.
B. Scientists favor an insightful solution.
C. Note-taking negatively affects thinking.
D. People have a preferred way of thinking.
33. What did Brian Erickson’s study reveal about resting-state brain activity?
A. It predicts our future growth.
B. It reflects our thinking ability.
C. It indicates our dominant thinking style.
D. It determines our problem-solving speed.
34. What does the underlined expression “go rogue” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get stuck. B. Run wild.
C. Grow mature. D. Become inactive.
35. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. Follow your natural thinking style.
B. Adjust your thinking style as needed.
C. Reflect on your thinking style regularly.
D. Limit your analytical thinking to stay creative.
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。
I used to think the whole purpose of life was seeking happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology (心理) to learn what truly makes people happy. 36
And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment. 37 The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. There are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life.
The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are by nature and where you value others as well. 38
For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding the job that makes you happy. 39 For example, a hospital nurse told me her purpose is helping sick people become healthy again.
The third pillar of meaning is about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (卓越). It is a state where you feel connected to a higher reality, and your sense of self fades away.
The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. It helps you understand how you became you.
40 But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. That’s the power of meaning.
A. Meaning, though, is deeper.
B. Happiness comes and goes.
C. The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others.
D. It’s happiness that our culture attaches great importance to.
E. But instead of ever feeling happy, I felt anxious and aimless.
F. Purpose motivates individuals to develop and achieve success.
G. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.

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。
When Rosa was still a young girl, her parents decided to send her from their home in Tehran, Iran, to live with her aunt in London, England.
The journey was long, and as she flew to England, Rosa spent much of the time imagining what her new life would be like. She was determined to do well at school and make her parents proud.
However, when she arrived at the airport in London, it was not quite as she had imagined at all. Worst of all was the feeling that everybody was looking at her with strange eyes. Rosa noticed with surprise that she was the only one wearing a scarf.
London proved to be a very strange and unfamiliar place. It rained constantly every day during the first week, and Rosa was unimpressed with what she thought was British summertime. Despite being told that her English was good, she struggled to understand people’s accents and slang (俚语). The young girl felt disappointed with her new surroundings and she missed her family and friends dearly.
When the day came for Rosa to go to her new school, she was extremely nervous. Her aunt tried to comfort her, saying, “I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends today. You just wait and see.” But things didn’t go as smoothly as her aunt had hoped, at least not initially. Some girls in her class pointed and laughed at her, showing no interest in befriending the new girl. Feeling so different from everyone else, Rosa wished she could be back home with her family.
During a lunch break, as Rosa sat alone in the corner of the playground, thinking how to escape back to Tehran, a young girl named Emily approached her. She introduced herself, shared her milkshake with Rosa, and said, “I think your scarf looks cool.” In return for her kindness, Rosa took out four biscuits from her pocket and shared them with Emily. Soon the two were lost in games, running about in the corner of the playground. They exchanged stories-Rosa told Emily all about life in Tehran, and Emily told Rosa about all of the cool things she could do in London.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the days went by, Rosa and Emily became good friends.

25. C。词义猜测题。由第二段中的The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way和I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about可知,作者还没有去过萨勒克国家公园,正因为这里是他还没有探索过的地域,因此他临行前做好了充分的准备。uncharted有“无人涉足的,陌生的”之意。
26. C。细节理解题。由第三段中的If you are at the heart of Sarek ... this means I will have to carry everything I need ...可知,作者此次做足了准备,打算深入探索萨勒克国家公园。

Eventually, AI might even outshine humans in interpreting a range of more complex emotions like happiness, frustration, or fear, he says — feelings that are equally important to understand if we are to give animals the best possible lives.
But like most scientists considering the powers of AI, animal behavior researchers worry about putting too much stock in machines, especially when animal welfare is at risk. “Maybe a machine will end up being better than us; I don’t know,” says Emma Baxter, an animal behavior scientist. “I hope there’s room for experts, to make sure that the AI is actually doing what it says it is.”
28. What can the Intellipig system do automatically?
A. Monitor pigs’ well-being. B. Clean pigs’ living spaces.
C. Deliver medical services to pigs. D. Provide standardized diets for pigs.
29. What is Melvyn Smith’s attitude towards AI’s role in animal care?
A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Skeptical.
30. What approach does Emma Baxter support when it comes to AI and animal care?
A. Banning the use of AI. B. Restricting AI to basic tasks.
C. Keeping professionals involved. D. Minimizing human intervention.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Intellipig: AI Provides 24/7 Animal Care
B. Intellipig: AI Can Understand Animal Speech
C. Intellipig: AI Replaces Farmers in Animal Care
D. Intellipig: AI Assists in Detecting Animal Emotions
【答案】 28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了Intellipig通过面部识别技术对猪食物和情绪方面的全面照顾。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Meanwhile, the system continues to analyze her photo, looking for negative signs in her facial expression that she might be in pain, sick, or in emotional distress. If it finds any, it sends an immediate alert to the farmer — the guy enjoying a morning coffee over in the next room.(与此同时,该系统会继续分析它的照片,寻找其面部表情中可能表明它正处于疼痛、生病或情绪困扰状态的负面迹象。如果发现了任何此类迹象,系统会立即向农民发出警报——而此时这位农民正在隔壁房间里惬意地喝着晨间咖啡)”可知,Intellipig系统能够自动监测猪的健康状况,包括身体和情绪方面,故选A。
29. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Tools like Intellipig could usher in (开启) a new era of caring for animals that gives higher priority to their health, welfare, and protection, says Melvyn Smith, an engineer leading the design of the Intellipig system. There are indications that they could go even further. Eventually, AI might even outshine humans in interpreting a range of more complex emotions like happiness, frustration, or fear, he says — feelings that are equally important to understand if we are to give animals the best possible lives.(负责设计Intellipig系统的工程师梅尔文・史密斯表示,像Intellipig这样的工具能够开启一个关爱动物的新时代,在这个时代里,动物的健康、福利和保护被置于更高的优先地位。有迹象表明,这些工具还能发挥更大的作用。他说,最终,人工智能在解读诸如快乐、沮丧或恐惧等一系列更为复杂的情绪方面,甚至可能会超越人类——如果我们想要给予动物尽可能好的生活,理解这些情绪同样至关重要)”可推知,Melvyn Smith对人工智能在动物护理方面持积极乐观态度,故选B。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Emma Baxter所说的话“I hope there’s room for experts, to make sure that the AI is actually doing what it says it is.(我希望有专家参与的空间,以确保人工智能确实在做它所说的事情)”可推知,她希望专业人士仍然参与其中,以确保AI系统发挥应有作用,故选C。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Meanwhile, the system continues to analyze her photo, looking for negative signs in her facial expression that she might be in pain, sick, or in emotional distress. If it finds any, it sends an immediate alert to the farmer — the guy enjoying a morning coffee over in the next room.(与此同时,该系统会继续分析它的照片,寻找其面部表情中可能表明它正处于疼痛、生病或情绪困扰状态的负面迹象。如果发现了任何此类迹象,系统会立即向农民发出警报——而此时这位农民正在隔壁房间里惬意地喝着晨间咖啡)”以及文章重点介绍了AI如何通过识别动物面部特征来判断情绪和健康状态,而不是提供全天候照料或替代农场主,D选项“Intellipig:人工智能协助检测动物情绪”准确概括了文章的主要内容,是文章最佳标题。故选D。
D
When it comes to problem-solving, virtually everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations (方程式),” he once said in an interview.
In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity—while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time.
The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments.
Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively.
32. What does the example of Roger Penrose illustrate?
A. Visual images help solve a problem.
B. Scientists favor an insightful solution.
C. Note-taking negatively affects thinking.
D. People have a preferred way of thinking.
33. What did Brian Erickson’s study reveal about resting-state brain activity?
A. It predicts our future growth.
B. It reflects our thinking ability.
C. It indicates our dominant thinking style.
D. It determines our problem-solving speed.
34. What does the underlined expression “go rogue” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get stuck. B. Run wild.
C. Grow mature. D. Become inactive.
35. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. Follow your natural thinking style.
B. Adjust your thinking style as needed.
C. Reflect on your thinking style regularly.
D. Limit your analytical thinking to stay creative.
【答案】 32. D 33. C 34. B 35. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在解决问题时,会倾向于使用洞察力或分析方法,并介绍了相关研究结果,同时指出人们可以调整自己的思维方式。
32. D。推理判断题。根据第一段中“When it comes to problem-solving, virtually everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations(方程式),” he once said in an interview. (当涉及到解决问题时,几乎每个人都可以使用有洞察力的或分析的方法,但许多人倾向于使用一种而不是另一种。例如,数学家罗杰·彭罗斯显然可以进行分析性思考,但似乎天生就很有洞察力。“我大部分的思考都是用视觉的方式,而不是写下方程式,”他曾在一次采访中说)”可知,作者通过罗杰·彭罗斯的例子说明人们有自己偏好的思维方式。故选D。
33. C。细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity—while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs(脑电图)and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time. (在21世纪10年代,当时还是德雷塞尔大学博士生的布莱恩·埃里克森和他的同事证明,人们在“静息状态”大脑活动期间,即一个人在没有任务要执行或对即将发生的事情没有期望的情况下放松时,倾向于有洞察力或分析性的思考。埃里克森记录了人们的静息状态脑电图,然后在几周后,让同样的参与者解决一系列谜题。惊人的结果是:几分钟的脑电图预测,最多提前七周,一个人是否会以洞察力或分析的方式解决谜题。我们占主导地位的思维方式会随着时间的推移而保持稳定)”可知,布莱恩·埃里克森的研究揭示了静息状态下的脑电图可以预测人们占主导地位的思维方式。故选C。
34. B。词句猜测题。根据第三段“The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior(后部)areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments. (前额叶区域是一个人执行过程的中心,它组织着大脑其他部分的活动。这些执行过程使人们能够以专注和战略性的方式思考,但它们也可以通过将思维限制在直接的计划中来限制创造力,就像马匹的眼罩阻挡了导致它偏离道路的干扰一样。当这个区域的活动相对较低时,就像有洞察力的受试者一样,后部区域可能会“go rogue”,有时会产生顿悟时刻)”可知,当大脑前额叶区域的活动相对较低时,后部区域可能会“失控,自我发挥”,有时会产生顿悟时刻。由此可知,画线短语“go rogue”意为“失控,自由发挥”。A. Get stuck陷入困境/停滞不前;B. Run wild肆意妄为/失去控制;C. Grow mature变得成熟;D. Become inactive变得不活跃。 故选B。
35. B。 细节理解题。根据最后一段“By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively. (通过在正确的时间使用正确的策略,我们可以更有效地应对挑战,提高我们批判性和创新性思维的能力)”可知,作者在最后一段建议人们根据需要调整思维方式。故选B。
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。
I used to think the whole purpose of life was seeking happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology (心理) to learn what truly makes people happy. 36
And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment. 37 The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. There are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life.
The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are by nature and where you value others as well. 38
For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding the job that makes you happy. 39 For example, a hospital nurse told me her purpose is helping sick people become healthy again.
The third pillar of meaning is about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (卓越). It is a state where you feel connected to a higher reality, and your sense of self fades away.
The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. It helps you understand how you became you.
40 But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. That’s the power of meaning.
A. Meaning, though, is deeper.
B. Happiness comes and goes.
C. The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others.
D. It’s happiness that our culture attaches great importance to.
E. But instead of ever feeling happy, I felt anxious and aimless.
F. Purpose motivates individuals to develop and achieve success.
G. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.
【答案】36. E 37. A 38. G 39. C 40. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了追求快乐对于生活的重要性,但作者认为更重要的是找寻生活本身的价值和意义。
36. E。根据上文的“I used to think the whole purpose of life was seeking happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. (我曾经认为人生的全部目的就是追求幸福。每个人都说通往幸福的道路是成功,所以我寻找理想的工作、完美的男朋友和漂亮的公寓。)”和下文的“Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy.(最终,我决定去读研究生学习积极心理学,去学习真正让人快乐的东西。)”可知,E项(但是,我非但没有感到快乐,反而感到焦虑和漫无目的。)与上文构成转折关系,说明了作者努力追求成功却没有带来幸福,下文指出作者为得到幸福采取的办法:去研究生院读心理学。故选E项。
37. A。根据上文的“And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment. (快乐和生活有意义之间的区别是什么?许多心理学家将快乐定义为一种舒适和安逸的状态,即此刻感觉良好。)”和下文的“The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. There are four pillars of a meaningful life.(著名心理学家马丁·塞利格曼说,意义来自于对超越自我的事物的归属和服务,来自于发展自己最好的一面。有意义的人生有四大支柱。)”可知,A项(不过,意义是更深层次的。)承接上文,说明了意义要比快乐更重要,下文解释了意义的来源。故选A项。
38. G。根据上文的“The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are by nature and where you value others as well. (第一个支柱是归属感。归属感来自于一段关系,在这种关系中,你因自己的本性而受到重视,同时你也重视他人。)”可知,G项(对许多人来说,归属感是人生意义最重要的源泉。)承接上文,说明了作为第一个支柱的归属感的重要性,它使人们互相重视彼此。故选G项。
39. C。根据上文的“For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding the job that makes you happy.(对其他人来说,意义的关键是第二个支柱:目标。找到你的目标和找到让你快乐的工作是不一样的。)”和下文的“For example, a hospital nurse told me her purpose is helping sick people become healthy again.(例如,一位医院护士告诉我她的目标是帮助病人恢复健康。)”可知,C项(目标的关键是利用你的优势为他人服务。)承接上文,说明了目标的核心在于能够帮助别人,它不同于对快乐的体验,下文举例说明了服务他人的目标。故选C项。
40. B。根据下文的“But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. That’s the power of meaning.(但是,当生活真的很美好,当事情真的很糟糕时,拥有意义会给你一些坚持下去的东西。这就是意义的力量。)”可知,B项(幸福来了又去。)说明了幸福不会永远存在,下文指出了当幸福离开时,意义能够让你坚持下去。故选B项。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Wind Cave National Park was a park I wasn't very interested in visiting. I had been inside many 41 around the world. In fact, I'd say I've been in many of the 42 caves in the world like the Postojna Cave. So more caves seemed 43 to me. But, since it was a national park, I was 44 to go.
I was sure to 45 at the Visitor Center at 8 am sharp. This is where you 46 for first come first served tickets to do a guided cave 47 . I had a lot of driving ahead of me so I didn't want to 48 the first tour. Not surprisingly, I wasn't 49 but the tours take 40 people and I was able to 50 the first tour of the day at 9 am.
Tours last 75 minutes and involve (包含) 51 down over 300 stairs that are often wet. This can be a(n) 52 for older people. It should be noted that there is a lift to go back up.
The caves themselves were OK. I may sound jaded (厌倦的) but if you've seen other great caves then Wind Cave would be a little 53 . The cave tour for me was only OK. After the cave tour you can 54 around the rest of the park and see buffalo ( 野牛) and other animals wandering around. It was raining when I was there so I didn't 55 a ton aside from a few buffalo.

51.C 52.A 53.D 54.B 55.B
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者描述了他去风洞国家公园游览的经历。
41. D。由下文中的I've been in many of the ... caves in the world和So more caves可知,这里作者是说他已经去过世界上很多洞穴。故选caves。
42. B。本空所在句是对上文中的Wind Cave National Park was a park I wasn't very interested in visiting的解释,作者对风洞国家公园不感兴趣,究其原因是他已经去过世界上很多最棒、最有名的洞穴。故best符合语境。下文中的seen other great caves也是提示。波斯托伊纳溶洞(the Postojna Cave)位于斯洛文尼亚西南部喀斯特高原上,是世界上最长、最大的溶洞之一。
43. D。结合上文作者对风洞国家公园不感兴趣和他已经去过很多有名的洞穴可知,因为过往游览过许多知名洞穴的经历,所以再多的洞穴都提不起作者的兴趣。故unimpressive(普通的,毫无特色的)符合语境。此处呼应了最后一段作者描述他游览风洞国家公园时的感受。
44. A。由But一词的转折以及下文作者描述他去风洞国家公园的经历可知,尽管他对该景点不感兴趣,但因为它是一处国家公园,所以还是去参观了。be happy to do sth. 愿意去做某事。
45. C。由下文中的解释first come first served tickets和I had a lot of driving ahead of me可知,因为有其他的安排,为了先到先买票,作者早上八点整就“到了(arrive)”游客中心。
46. C。根据常识可知,在游客中心买票需要排队。故line up(排队,排成一行)符合语境。
47. B。由下文多次出现的tour可知,这里作者是说他参加有导游的洞穴之旅。
48. B。由上文中的I was sure to ... at the Visitor Center at 8 am sharp和I had a lot of driving ahead of me可知,作者早上八点整就排队买票,是因为他还有其他安排,不想“错过(miss)”出发最早的参观团。
49. D。由本句中的Not surprisingly和the tours take 40 people可知,想要参加最早出发的参观团的游客不止作者一个人。故alone符合语境。
50. D。由下文作者介绍他的此次洞穴之旅可知,他如愿“加入(get on)”到了当天最早的参观团。
51. C。由常识和本句中的over 300 stairs可知,参观行程包含“走(walking)”一段有300多个台阶的路。
52. A。由上文中的描述over 300 stairs that are often wet可知,走一段时常是湿漉漉的300多个台阶的路对老年人来说非常不易。故challenge(挑战)符合语境。
53. D。由上文中的The caves themselves were OK和I may sound jaded可知,因为作者已经见识过很多非常棒的洞穴,因此风洞让他有点失望。故disappointing符合语境,与jaded形成呼应。
54. B。由上文中的I had a lot of driving ahead of me可知,参观完风洞,作者还有驱车参观该国家公园的安排。故此处选drive,与driving是原词复现关系。
55. B。由上文中的see buffalo and other animals wandering around可知,因为下雨,作者没有在风洞国家公园“看到(see)”很多动物。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
When Rosa was still a young girl, her parents decided to send her from their home in Tehran, Iran, to live with her aunt in London, England.
The journey was long, and as she flew to England, Rosa spent much of the time imagining what her new life would be like. She was determined to do well at school and make her parents proud.
However, when she arrived at the airport in London, it was not quite as she had imagined at all. Worst of all was the feeling that everybody was looking at her with strange eyes. Rosa noticed with surprise that she was the only one wearing a scarf.
London proved to be a very strange and unfamiliar place. It rained constantly every day during the first week, and Rosa was unimpressed with what she thought was British summertime. Despite being told that her English was good, she struggled to understand people’s accents and slang (俚语). The young girl felt disappointed with her new surroundings and she missed her family and friends dearly.
When the day came for Rosa to go to her new school, she was extremely nervous. Her aunt tried to comfort her, saying, “I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends today. You just wait and see.” But things didn’t go as smoothly as her aunt had hoped, at least not initially. Some girls in her class pointed and laughed at her, showing no interest in befriending the new girl. Feeling so different from everyone else, Rosa wished she could be back home with her family.
During a lunch break, as Rosa sat alone in the corner of the playground, thinking how to escape back to Tehran, a young girl named Emily approached her. She introduced herself, shared her milkshake with Rosa, and said, “I think your scarf looks cool.” In return for her kindness, Rosa took out four biscuits from her pocket and shared them with Emily. Soon the two were lost in games, running about in the corner of the playground. They exchanged stories-Rosa told Emily all about life in Tehran, and Emily told Rosa about all of the cool things she could do in London.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the days went by, Rosa and Emily became good friends.

One day, Emily invited Rosa to a picnic in the park.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As the days went by Rosa and Emily became good friends. They spent their lunch breaks together, exploring different corners of the playground and sharing more stories about their lives. Emily introduced Rosa to her friends. With Emily’s support, Rosa began to feel more confident and comfortable in her new school. She even started to enjoy the rainy days, seeing them as a unique part of her new home. Her English improved, and she found herself understanding people better. Most importantly, she realized that having a friend like Emily made all the difference.
One day, Emily invited Rosa to a picnic in the park. It was a sunny day, and the park was full of people enjoying the weather. Rosa was nervous at first, but Emily’s encouragement helped her relax. They spread out a blanket under a big tree, and shared food. Rosa felt a sense of belonging she hadn’t felt since leaving Tehran. Watching the kites flying in the sky, Rosa realized that London wasn’t so strange after all. She had found a new family among her friends, and she was finally starting to feel at home.

In about a week I will start one of my most expected adventures ever. Sarek National Park will be a mission. It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude ( 独处), wildness and a connection with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness.
The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of all, there are no huts ( 棚屋) or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to make my own route with GPS and maps.
In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there're not many places to shelter from it because there are hardly any trees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear ( 装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.
24. What kind of destination does the author consider Sarek National Park to be?
A. Popular and convenient. B. Busy and well-connected.
C. Remote and forest-covered. D. Attractive and demanding.
25. What does the underlined word “uncharted” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Not vast. B. Not accepted.
C. Not explored. D. Not dangerous.
26. What will the author do in Sarek National Park?
A. Make a map of Sarek. B. Build shelters for tourists.
C. Reach the depths of Sarek. D. Measure the rainfall of Sarek.
27. What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To explain why there are few trees there.
B. To recommend ways of finding good campsites.
C. To discuss causes of heavy rains and strong wind.
D. To remind possible travelers of the challenging weather.
C
At 6 a.m. in an English village, hundreds of pinkish white sows are waking up for breakfast. But first, they have to get their pictures taken. As each pig squeezes into her feeding area, a tiny camera snaps a photo of her face. And in less than 1 second, an artificial intelligence system identifies her based on facial features. Armed with that information, the AIorders a customized meal to shoot into the trough (食槽).
Meanwhile, the system continues to analyze her photo, looking for negative signs in her facial expression that she might be in pain, sick, or in emotional distress. If it finds any, it sends an immediate alert to the farmer — the guy enjoying a morning coffee over in the next room.
These hungry piggies are the testers of Intellipig, a system being developed by scientists to deal with a fundamental problem in animal welfare: we human beings are just not the best at understanding how animals are feeling.
Tools like Intellipig could usher in (开启) a new era of caring for animals that gives higher priority to their health, welfare, and protection, says Melvyn Smith, an engineer leading the design of the Intellipig system. There are indications that they could go even further. Eventually, AI might even outshine humans in interpreting a range of more complex emotions like happiness, frustration, or fear, he says — feelings that are equally important to understand if we are to give animals the best possible lives.
But like most scientists considering the powers of AI, animal behavior researchers worry about putting too much stock in machines, especially when animal welfare is at risk. “Maybe a machine will end up being better than us; I don’t know,” says Emma Baxter, an animal behavior scientist. “I hope there’s room for experts, to make sure that the AI is actually doing what it says it is.”
28. What can the Intellipig system do automatically?
A. Monitor pigs’ well-being. B. Clean pigs’ living spaces.
C. Deliver medical services to pigs. D. Provide standardized diets for pigs.
29. What is Melvyn Smith’s attitude towards AI’s role in animal care?
A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Skeptical.
30. What approach does Emma Baxter support when it comes to AI and animal care?
A. Banning the use of AI. B. Restricting AI to basic tasks.
C. Keeping professionals involved. D. Minimizing human intervention.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Intellipig: AI Provides 24/7 Animal Care
B. Intellipig: AI Can Understand Animal Speech
C. Intellipig: AI Replaces Farmers in Animal Care
D. Intellipig: AI Assists in Detecting Animal Emotions
D
When it comes to problem-solving, virtually everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations (方程式),” he once said in an interview.
In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity—while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time.
The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments.
Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively.
32. What does the example of Roger Penrose illustrate?
A. Visual images help solve a problem.
B. Scientists favor an insightful solution.
C. Note-taking negatively affects thinking.
D. People have a preferred way of thinking.
33. What did Brian Erickson’s study reveal about resting-state brain activity?
A. It predicts our future growth.
B. It reflects our thinking ability.
C. It indicates our dominant thinking style.
D. It determines our problem-solving speed.
34. What does the underlined expression “go rogue” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get stuck. B. Run wild.
C. Grow mature. D. Become inactive.
35. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. Follow your natural thinking style.
B. Adjust your thinking style as needed.
C. Reflect on your thinking style regularly.
D. Limit your analytical thinking to stay creative.

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。
I used to think the whole purpose of life was seeking happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology (心理) to learn what truly makes people happy. 36
And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment. 37 The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. There are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life.
The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are by nature and where you value others as well. 38
For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding the job that makes you happy. 39 For example, a hospital nurse told me her purpose is helping sick people become healthy again.
The third pillar of meaning is about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (卓越). It is a state where you feel connected to a higher reality, and your sense of self fades away.
The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. It helps you understand how you became you.
40 But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. That’s the power of meaning.
A. Meaning, though, is deeper.
B. Happiness comes and goes.
C. The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others.
D. It’s happiness that our culture attaches great importance to.
E. But instead of ever feeling happy, I felt anxious and aimless.
F. Purpose motivates individuals to develop and achieve success.
G. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.

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。
When Rosa was still a young girl, her parents decided to send her from their home in Tehran, Iran, to live with her aunt in London, England.
The journey was long, and as she flew to England, Rosa spent much of the time imagining what her new life would be like. She was determined to do well at school and make her parents proud.
However, when she arrived at the airport in London, it was not quite as she had imagined at all. Worst of all was the feeling that everybody was looking at her with strange eyes. Rosa noticed with surprise that she was the only one wearing a scarf.
London proved to be a very strange and unfamiliar place. It rained constantly every day during the first week, and Rosa was unimpressed with what she thought was British summertime. Despite being told that her English was good, she struggled to understand people’s accents and slang (俚语). The young girl felt disappointed with her new surroundings and she missed her family and friends dearly.
When the day came for Rosa to go to her new school, she was extremely nervous. Her aunt tried to comfort her, saying, “I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends today. You just wait and see.” But things didn’t go as smoothly as her aunt had hoped, at least not initially. Some girls in her class pointed and laughed at her, showing no interest in befriending the new girl. Feeling so different from everyone else, Rosa wished she could be back home with her family.
During a lunch break, as Rosa sat alone in the corner of the playground, thinking how to escape back to Tehran, a young girl named Emily approached her. She introduced herself, shared her milkshake with Rosa, and said, “I think your scarf looks cool.” In return for her kindness, Rosa took out four biscuits from her pocket and shared them with Emily. Soon the two were lost in games, running about in the corner of the playground. They exchanged stories-Rosa told Emily all about life in Tehran, and Emily told Rosa about all of the cool things she could do in London.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the days went by, Rosa and Emily became good friends.

One day, Emily invited Rosa to a picnic in the park.
