Museum Ambassadors at the American History Museum are a mobile source of information that helps bridge the gap between two other volunteer groups here at the museum — information desk specialists, who provide orientation (方向) assistance when guests arrive, and volunteer docents (讲师), who provide Highlights tours, facilitate hands-on demonstrations and circulate through many of our exhibitions to interact with visitors. Each year, our Museum Ambassadors help over 100,000 people get the most out of their visits by welcoming groups, circulating throughout the museum’s public zones to answer basic questions, and directing visitors to programs and exhibitions of interest. The museum has also employed the Museum Ambassadors to assist with special projects and events as needed.
To learn more about what Museum Ambassadors do, check out what Larry nas said, “As museum ambassadors, we get to share in the curiosity of a child, the nostalgia (怀旧) of returning visitors, the treasure hunt of students assigned to find important historical objects, and the amazement of those experiencing our eye on the nation’s history for the first time. We can help recommend a meaningful museum visit just for you. There’s more. We’ re also traffic cops when elevators and escalators break and extra eyes for museum security.”

A principal in Manhattan informed parents that there would be no more homework for the public school’s students. And then came the arguments — not from teachers, but from parents. Some said they would transfer (转学) their children to another school. Some said they were finding online sources of homework for their children. They were not convinced by the explanation from Principal Jane Hsu about the negative effects of homework on young children, including lack of time for other activities and family time, and loss of interest in learning. Hsu suggested children should spend their time on activities that had been found to be good for their academic, social and emotional development.
As a supporter of Hsu’s approach, I wonder how many of the parental arguments occur not because of what children will miss out on, but because parents themselves no longer feel confident about their ability to help their children develop without highly structured activities to guide them.
I’m reminded of a meeting at the school my younger daughter was about to start when she was 6. The head of the school met with parents to say that she was also considering doing away with homework. One mom objected because homework was her “special time” each day with her child when they could sit down together to go through the work. The head of the school appeared surprised at this. She gently suggested that the mother should read to her child, or that they should cook dinner together.
It’s been sad to see that kids, between their structured soccer practices and their homework, have very little time to play. But it’s even sadder to see the parental nervousness around what might happen to a third-grader who has more time to create, think, read, interact with others, or imagine. What might happen, I believe, must be more happiness, more energy and better physical fitness.
41.Principal Jane Hsu suggested that there should be no homework because ______.
A.there are too many activities after school
B.doing homework does no good to teaching
C.some more meaningful activities should be done
D.students are not interested in doing their homework
42.From the passage, we know ______.
A.teachers are strongly opposed to giving no homework to their student
B.the idea of no homework has led to a heated debate
C.children greatly benefit from the idea of no homework
D.other activities have taken the place of the homework
43.Why did one mom object the idea of no homework for kids?
A.Her child might lose interest in learning.
B.Her child might have less time to think.
C.She enjoyed the time doing homework with her child.
D.Homework is good for children’s academic development.
44.What is the author’s attitude towards Principal Jane Hsu’s suggestion?
A.Indifferent. B.Positive. C.Negative. D.Critical.
45.The passage is mainly about ______.
A.whether the parents should transfer their children to public school
B.the benefit of doing homework
C.the necessity of changing the education system
D.whether the students should do homework after school
C
For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
46.What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior?
A.They are interested in acting. B.They are shy with the strangers.
C.They are fond of their playmates. D.They are tired of playing games.
47.What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A.Behavior. B.Talent. C.Enthusiastic. D.Character.
48.What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?
A.Design games for them. B.Find them suitable playmates.
C.Play together with them. D.Help them understand social rules.
49.What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?
A.Giving examples. B.Explaining concepts.
C.Providing evidence. D.Making comparisons.
50.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How Children Adapt to Changes B.How to Be Role Model for Children
C.How Your Baby Learns to Love D.How to Communicate with Your Kid

In 2019, I began learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute in Rome. Already fluent in several European languages, I sought a new challenge — something truly different that would expand my worldview. Chinese, with its intricate characters resembling abstract art, melodic tones that sounded like singing, and sentence structures reversing European logic, fascinated me from the first lesson.
However, my interest soon branched out beyond linguistics into China’s cultural heritage. I started with Tang Dynasty poetry, renowned for its concise elegance and emotive power. Poems by Li Bai and Du Fu introduced me to China’s poetic tradition. Intrigued by its roots, I then turned to earlier works like the Shi Jing (The Book of Songs), an anthology of poems often attributed as one of the earliest reflections of the Chinese soul. Later, I explored the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu, or Poetry of the South), further broadening my understanding of regional literary expressions.
My classes soon multiplied, as I took courses on Chinese history, literature, philosophy and art history. Confucianism’s emphasis on social harmony, Daoism’s natural spontaneity, and Buddhism’s cyclical worldview formed a philosophical triad that explained many modern Chinese values. Yet it was Chinese art history, especially scroll painting, that truly fired my imagination. The graceful brush-strokes, the interplay of ink and water, and the visual storytelling contained within those scrolls made me see art in an entirely new light.
During my journey, I was particularly drawn to the stories of influential women in Chinese history, such as military leader Fu Hao, and Emperor Wu Zetian. Learning about these extraordinary women expanded my understanding of China’s societal transformations and how women’s contributions have often been overlooked, yet undeniably crucial.
These discoveries inspired me to create a bilingual English-Montenegrin magazine about Chinese culture. Unlike academic journals, it would mix thorough research with engaging stories — featuring Tang poetry analyses alongside profiles of contemporary Chinese innovators. A planned column “From Terra Cotta to Tech” would trace historical continuities, while a culinary section might explore how Sichuan peppercorns traveled the Silk Road.
This publishing venture (活动) is both exciting and challenging. From selecting articles to editing translations, I’m constantly learning. And that, in itself, is part of what fascinates me so much about China: its cultural depth is an ever-expanding puzzle — one that can never be fully completed, but becomes more fascinating with each piece we add. Ultimately, my hope is that by creating this bilingual magazine, I can contribute to a mutual understanding.
51.What initially motivated the author to learn Chinese?
A.The complexity of the Chinese language.
B.The desire to become a linguistic teacher.
C.The influence of several European languages.
D.The opportunity to study at the Confucius Institute.
52.In her exploration of Chinese culture, which of the following topics does the author NOT cover?
A.The principles of Confucianism and Taoism.
B.The expressive qualities of Tang Dynasty poetry.
C.The artistic skills involved in Chinese calligraphy.
D.The storytelling elements in Chinese scroll painting.
53.What does the author find most significant about the stories of influential women in Chinese history?
A.Their success in challenging traditional gender roles.
B.Their contributions to China’s societal transformations.
C.Their artistic achievements in both poetry and painting.
D.Their overlooked yet crucial thoughts of Chinese culture.
54.What makes the author’s magazine different from academic journals?
A.Use of bilingual content and comments from readers.
B.Exclusion of serious and deep historical analysis.
C.Focus mainly on modern technology and innovations.
D.Integration of academic depth and appealing stories.
55.Why does the author compare “Chinese cultural depth” to “an ever-expanding puzzle” in the last paragraph?
A.To emphasize that Chinese culture is too complicated to understand.
B.To criticize the lack of systematic study of Chinese traditions.
C.To demonstrate that Chinese culture is disconnected and incomplete.
D.To highlight its complexity and the endless opportunities for discovery.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
When I got my first research project to work as an undergraduate, I was so excited that I could hardly think. My excitement, though, was soon cut short when my professor asked me to write a research paper on the project. My body tensed. Writing was the last thing I wanted to do.
I hated writing in high school. It felt like wondering in a chaotic jungle, unsure where to reach next. My teachers would return my papers littered with red.
In college, I studied engineering. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found. The professor assigned me a project to improve the efficiency of an inductor(感应器). I spent weeks setting up a test for a new design. The results weren’t good. I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with researchers. Finally, we had one. I was overjoyed—until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew I would need to spend time penning papers. In a panic, I asked a graduate student for help. We defined a goal, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. The graduate student explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient inductor design?” I kept refining the outline, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs guided by feedback from others. My initial draft wasn’t perfect. But with help. I was finally making my way through the jungle.
From then on writing became one of my favorite parts of research, and it still is today. It’s a future I never could have imagined during my early struggles with English classes. But I came around. All it took was some trial and error.
56.Why was the author’s excitement cut short when he had to write a research paper?(no more than 5 words)
57.What does the underlined phrase “wondering in a chaotic jungle” mean in Paragraph 2?(no more than 2 words)
58.How did the author improve the inductor design?(no more than 10 words)
59.What made writing become the author’s favorite part of research?(no more than 10 words)
60.What do you think of “red marks” in your life? Please explain in your own words.(no more than 20 words)

A principal in Manhattan informed parents that there would be no more homework for the public school’s students. And then came the arguments — not from teachers, but from parents. Some said they would transfer (转学) their children to another school. Some said they were finding online sources of homework for their children. They were not convinced by the explanation from Principal Jane Hsu about the negative effects of homework on young children, including lack of time for other activities and family time, and loss of interest in learning. Hsu suggested children should spend their time on activities that had been found to be good for their academic, social and emotional development.
As a supporter of Hsu’s approach, I wonder how many of the parental arguments occur not because of what children will miss out on, but because parents themselves no longer feel confident about their ability to help their children develop without highly structured activities to guide them.
I’m reminded of a meeting at the school my younger daughter was about to start when she was 6. The head of the school met with parents to say that she was also considering doing away with homework. One mom objected because homework was her “special time” each day with her child when they could sit down together to go through the work. The head of the school appeared surprised at this. She gently suggested that the mother should read to her child, or that they should cook dinner together.
It’s been sad to see that kids, between their structured soccer practices and their homework, have very little time to play. But it’s even sadder to see the parental nervousness around what might happen to a third-grader who has more time to create, think, read, interact with others, or imagine. What might happen, I believe, must be more happiness, more energy and better physical fitness.
41.Principal Jane Hsu suggested that there should be no homework because ______.
A.there are too many activities after school
B.doing homework does no good to teaching
C.some more meaningful activities should be done
D.students are not interested in doing their homework
42.From the passage, we know ______.
A.teachers are strongly opposed to giving no homework to their student
B.the idea of no homework has led to a heated debate
C.children greatly benefit from the idea of no homework
D.other activities have taken the place of the homework
43.Why did one mom object the idea of no homework for kids?
A.Her child might lose interest in learning.
B.Her child might have less time to think.
C.She enjoyed the time doing homework with her child.
D.Homework is good for children’s academic development.
44.What is the author’s attitude towards Principal Jane Hsu’s suggestion?
A.Indifferent. B.Positive. C.Negative. D.Critical.
45.The passage is mainly about ______.
A.whether the parents should transfer their children to public school
B.the benefit of doing homework
C.the necessity of changing the education system
D.whether the students should do homework after school
【答案】41.C 42.B 43.C 44.B 45.D

41.细节理解题。根据第一段“Hsu suggested children should spend their time on activities that had been found to be good for their academic, social and emotional development.(Hsu建议孩子们应该把时间花在对他们的学业、社交和情感发展有益的活动上)”可知,校长建议不应该有家庭作业,因为应该做一些更有意义的活动。故选C。

43.细节理解题。根据第三段“One mom objected because homework was her “special time” each day with her child when they could sit down together to go through the work.(一位母亲表示反对,因为家庭作业是她每天和孩子一起坐下来完成作业的“特殊时间”)”可知, 那位母亲反对没有家庭作业,因为每天她和孩子一起完成作业,家庭作业是她和孩子一起度过的“特殊时间”。故选C项。
44.推理判断题。根据第二段“As a supporter of Hsu’s approach, I wonder how many of the parental arguments occur not because of what children will miss out on, but because parents themselves no longer feel confident about their ability to help their children develop without highly structured activities to guide them.(作为Hsu教授方法的支持者,我想知道有多少父母的争吵不是因为孩子会错过什么,而是因为父母自己不再对自己帮助孩子发展的能力有信心,因为没有高度结构化的活动来指导他们)”和最后一段“What might happen, I believe, must be more happiness, more energy and better physical fitness.(我相信,可能会发生的是更多的快乐,更多的精力和更好的身体健康)”可知,作者认为没有家庭作业的建议一定会给孩子带来更多的快乐、更多的能量,更健康的身体。由此推知,作者对校长的建议是持肯定态度的。故选B项。
45.主旨大意题。根据第一段“A principal in Manhattan informed parents that there would be no more homework for the public school’s students. And then came the arguments — not from teachers, but from parents.(曼哈顿的一位校长通知家长,公立学校的学生将不再有家庭作业。然后是争论——不是来自老师,而是来自家长)”以及文章主要说明了校长建议公立学校的学生将不再有家庭作业,这在家长中引起了热烈的讨论。校长建议孩子们把时间花在那些对他们的学业、社会和情感发展有好处的活动上。因此文章主要是关于学生是否应该有家庭作业。故选D项。

For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
46.What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior?
A.They are interested in acting. B.They are shy with the strangers.
C.They are fond of their playmates. D.They are tired of playing games.
47.What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A.Behavior. B.Talent. C.Enthusiastic. D.Character.
48.What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?
A.Design games for them. B.Find them suitable playmates.
C.Play together with them. D.Help them understand social rules.
49.What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?
A.Giving examples. B.Explaining concepts.
C.Providing evidence. D.Making comparisons.
50.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How Children Adapt to Changes B.How to Be Role Model for Children
C.How Your Baby Learns to Love D.How to Communicate with Your Kid
【答案】46.C 47.D 48.D 49.A 50.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幼儿时期友谊对儿童社交能力发展的重要性,并探讨了幼儿表达友谊的方式和可能出现的问题。同时,文章还提供了一些建议和方法,帮助家长在幼儿社交互动中发挥积极作用,培养他们的同情心和表达能力,学会发展友谊。
46.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.(位于哥伦布市的俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现,蹒跚学步的孩子在玩耍时表达“我喜欢你”的方式很可能是模仿朋友的行为。)”可知,蹒跚学步的孩子模仿朋友的行为说明他们喜欢玩伴,故选C。
47.词句猜测题。根据下文“Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy.(有些蹒跚学步的孩子很爱交际,但有些则很害羞。)”可知,孩子的性格对于孩子社交能力的发展有着重要的影响,再由“how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(你的孩子多快发展成为一个社会动物也可能取决于他的temperament。)”可知,孩子多快学会社交与他们的“性格”有关,因此划线词意为“性格”,和D选项Character意思相近,故选D。
48.推理判断题。根据第三段的“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.(幼儿通过游戏经验学习社会规则。这就是为什么在你的孩子的社会交往中,通过设定限制和经常提醒他们是什么来发挥积极作用是如此重要。当您建立这些指导方针时,请解释其背后的原因。)”可知,作者建议家长在孩子的社交生活中设定限制,并且经常提醒孩子们这些限制,也就是社交规则,以帮助孩子理解社交规则,故选D。
49.推理判断题。根据第四段的“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”).(从帮助孩子学会同情开始(“本哭了。是什么让他这么伤心?”),然后建议他如何解决这个问题(“如果你让他玩球,也许他会感觉好一点。”)。)”可知,这些引用是通过举例说明来帮助孩子学会同情并解决问题,故选A。
50.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship.

Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.(对很多孩子来说,蹒跚学步是培养友谊的重要时期。研究表明,孩子越早学会建立积极的人际关系,他们在青少年和成年后就越善于与他人相处。一起玩耍也有助于这些孩子练习社会行为,比如善良、分享和合作。)”可知,本文主要讲的是幼儿期社交技能的发展及其培养方法,强调家长在其中的引导作用,因此本文最好的题目是C选项“How Your Baby Learns to Love(宝宝如何学会爱)”。故选C。
D
In 2019, I began learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute in Rome. Already fluent in several European languages, I sought a new challenge — something truly different that would expand my worldview. Chinese, with its intricate characters resembling abstract art, melodic tones that sounded like singing, and sentence structures reversing European logic, fascinated me from the first lesson.
However, my interest soon branched out beyond linguistics into China’s cultural heritage. I started with Tang Dynasty poetry, renowned for its concise elegance and emotive power. Poems by Li Bai and Du Fu introduced me to China’s poetic tradition. Intrigued by its roots, I then turned to earlier works like the Shi Jing (The Book of Songs), an anthology of poems often attributed as one of the earliest reflections of the Chinese soul. Later, I explored the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu, or Poetry of the South), further broadening my understanding of regional literary expressions.
My classes soon multiplied, as I took courses on Chinese history, literature, philosophy and art history. Confucianism’s emphasis on social harmony, Daoism’s natural spontaneity, and Buddhism’s cyclical worldview formed a philosophical triad that explained many modern Chinese values. Yet it was Chinese art history, especially scroll painting, that truly fired my imagination. The graceful brush-strokes, the interplay of ink and water, and the visual storytelling contained within those scrolls made me see art in an entirely new light.
During my journey, I was particularly drawn to the stories of influential women in Chinese history, such as military leader Fu Hao, and Emperor Wu Zetian. Learning about these extraordinary women expanded my understanding of China’s societal transformations and how women’s contributions have often been overlooked, yet undeniably crucial.
These discoveries inspired me to create a bilingual English-Montenegrin magazine about Chinese culture. Unlike academic journals, it would mix thorough research with engaging stories — featuring Tang poetry analyses alongside profiles of contemporary Chinese innovators. A planned column “From Terra Cotta to Tech” would trace historical continuities, while a culinary section might explore how Sichuan peppercorns traveled the Silk Road.
This publishing venture (活动) is both exciting and challenging. From selecting articles to editing translations, I’m constantly learning. And that, in itself, is part of what fascinates me so much about China: its cultural depth is an ever-expanding puzzle — one that can never be fully completed, but becomes more fascinating with each piece we add. Ultimately, my hope is that by creating this bilingual magazine, I can contribute to a mutual understanding.

51.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Already fluent in several European languages, I sought a new challenge — something truly different that would expand my worldview. Chinese, with its intricate characters resembling abstract art, melodic tones that sounded like singing, and sentence structures reversing European logic, fascinated me from the first lesson. (在熟练掌握几门欧洲语言后,我渴望寻找新的挑战——一种能真正拓宽我世界观的全新体验。中文以其如抽象艺术般精妙的汉字、如歌唱般悦耳的声调,以及颠覆欧洲语言逻辑的句式结构,从第一堂课起就深深吸引了我)”可知,汉语的复杂性是作者学习汉语的最初动机。故选A项。
52.细节理解题。根据第二段中“I started with Tang Dynasty poetry, renowned for its concise elegance and emotive power. (我从唐诗开始学习,这种诗歌以其凝练优雅和情感力量而闻名)”、第三段中“Confucianism’s emphasis on social harmony, Daoism’s natural spontaneity, and Buddhism’s cyclical worldview formed a philosophical triad that explained many modern Chinese values. (儒家思想强调社会和谐,道家崇尚自然无为,佛教则秉持轮回世界观——这三种哲学构成了解释当代中国价值观的重要思想体系)”和“The graceful brush-strokes, the interplay of ink and water, and the visual storytelling contained within those scrolls made me see art in an entirely new light. (宣纸上那些优雅的笔触、水墨交融的韵味,以及画卷中蕴含的视觉叙事,彻底颠覆了我对艺术的认知)”可知,作者研究了儒家思想和道家思想、唐代诗歌的表现力、中国卷轴画中的叙事元素,但未探究中国书法的艺术技巧。故选C项。
53.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Learning about these extraordinary women expanded my understanding of China’s societal transformations and how women’s contributions have often been overlooked, yet undeniably crucial. (了解这些杰出女性的故事,不仅拓宽了我对中国社会变革的认知,更让我意识到:尽管她们的贡献常被历史忽略,却始终是推动变革不可或缺的力量)”可知,作者发现这些女性对社会变革的贡献最为突出。故选B项。
54.细节理解题。根据第五段中“These discoveries inspired me to create a bilingual English-Montenegrin magazine about Chinese culture. Unlike academic journals, it would mix thorough research with engaging stories — featuring Tang poetry analyses alongside profiles of contemporary Chinese innovators. (这些发现启发我创办了一本中英双语的中国文化杂志。与学术期刊不同,我们将严谨考据与生动叙事相融合——既刊载唐诗鉴赏,也讲述当代中国创新者的故事)”可知,作者的杂志的不同之处是融合学术深度和吸引人的故事。故选D项。
55.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And that, in itself, is part of what fascinates me so much about China: its cultural depth is an ever-expanding puzzle — one that can never be fully completed, but becomes more fascinating with each piece we add. (而这一点,恰恰是中国最令我着迷的地方:它的文化底蕴如同一幅永远拼不完的拼图——我们永远无法穷尽其全貌,但每拼上一片新的图块,就会收获更多惊喜)”可知,作者认为中国文化是拼不完的拼图,强调无法完全掌握它,但每探索一部分都会有惊喜,说明其复杂性和持续探索的乐趣。因此,作者的比喻旨在强调中国文化的复杂与探索的无限可能性。故选D项。

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
When I got my first research project to work as an undergraduate, I was so excited that I could hardly think. My excitement, though, was soon cut short when my professor asked me to write a research paper on the project. My body tensed. Writing was the last thing I wanted to do.
I hated writing in high school. It felt like wondering in a chaotic jungle, unsure where to reach next. My teachers would return my papers littered with red.
In college, I studied engineering. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found. The professor assigned me a project to improve the efficiency of an inductor(感应器). I spent weeks setting up a test for a new design. The results weren’t good. I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with researchers. Finally, we had one. I was overjoyed—until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew I would need to spend time penning papers. In a panic, I asked a graduate student for help. We defined a goal, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. The graduate student explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient inductor design?” I kept refining the outline, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs guided by feedback from others. My initial draft wasn’t perfect. But with help. I was finally making my way through the jungle.
From then on writing became one of my favorite parts of research, and it still is today. It’s a future I never could have imagined during my early struggles with English classes. But I came around. All it took was some trial and error.
56.Why was the author’s excitement cut short when he had to write a research paper?(no more than 5 words)
57.What does the underlined phrase “wondering in a chaotic jungle” mean in Paragraph 2?(no more than 2 words)
58.How did the author improve the inductor design?(no more than 10 words)
59.What made writing become the author’s favorite part of research?(no more than 10 words)
60.What do you think of “red marks” in your life? Please explain in your own words.(no more than 20 words)
【答案】56.Because he didn’t like writing.
Or: Because he hated writing. 57.Confusing./ Puzzling./ Overwhelming. 58.By trying new designs, and brainstorming ideas with researchers. 59.Refining the outline with feedback and help from others. 60.I think “red marks” show my mistakes so I can fix them and become better.
Or: I think they are like warnings that help me avoid repeating the same errors.
Or: I see them as chances to check my progress and learn from failures.
【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者在大学期间第一次进行科研项目并需要撰写研究论文的经历,以及这一过程中作者对写作态度的转变。
56.考查细节理解题。根据第一段“When I got my first research project to work as an undergraduate, I was so excited that I could hardly think. My excitement, though, was soon cut short when my professor asked me to write a research paper on the project. My body tensed. Writing was the last thing I wanted to do.(当我作为一名本科生得到我的第一个研究项目时,我兴奋得几乎无法思考。然而,当我的教授让我写一篇关于这个项目的研究论文时,我的兴奋很快就被打断了。我的身体绷紧了。写作是我最不愿意做的事)”可知,作者讨厌写作,因此他的兴奋感被写作任务打断了。故填Because he didn’t like writing. Or: Because he hated writing.
57.考查词句猜测题。根据第二段“I hated writing in high school.(我在高中时讨厌写作。”以及“unsure where to reach next.(不知道下一步该去哪里)”可知,作者感到困惑。故填Confusing./ Puzzling./ Overwhelming.
58.考查细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with researchers.(我不断尝试新的设计,利用这些结果与研究人员进行头脑风暴)”可知,作者通过不断尝试新设计并与研究人员进行头脑风暴来提高感应器的设计。故填By trying new designs and brainstorming with researchers.
59.考查细节理解题。根据第四段“I kept refining the outline, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs guided by feedback from others.(我不断完善提纲,最终在别人反馈的指导下把它变成句子和段落)”可知,在别人的反馈和帮助下完善大纲让写作成为作者最喜欢的研究部分。故填Refining the outline with feedback and help from others.
60.开放性试题。我认为“红色标记”表明了我的错误,这样我就可以改正它们,变得更好。或者:我认为它们就像警告,帮助我避免重复同样的错误。或者:我把它们看作是检查我的进步和从失败中学习的机会。故填I think “red marks” show my mistakes so I can fix them and become better.Or: I think they are like warnings that help me avoid repeating the same errors.Or: I see them as chances to check my progress and learn from failures.
