B Last year, as my 9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything, including food and experiences—especially new ones. Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without turning to worn-out proverbs like “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, something our family has done a handful of times since watching the movie of the same name. We started saying yes before we even boarded our flight, when we stopped at a breakfast buffet at the airport. For me, that meant I sampled a vegan meatball (素食肉丸), while Leopold tried a mouse bite of hash browns (土豆饼) he said looked “funny”. Neither of us went back for seconds, but we each rated our new foods as “not bad.” The next day, after we got settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. He had taken a few lessons back at home but had never had the opportunity to snowboard on a mountain of this size. While he was in snowboarding school, I skied by myself. Inspired by Leopold, who had kept to our bargain and faced his fears time and time again, I challenged myself to ski an intermediate blue run (中级赛道). There was a part that was steeper (更陡峭) than I thought, but I did my slow, diligent S-turns and I made it down without being hurt. I was proud of myself for trying something new. Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited back at the room, he asked if we could try the outdoor hot bath. Mind you, it was winter, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet When I started to object, Leopold quoted our rule. Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together. 24. Why did the author suggest the “say yes” rule? A. Her son demanded too much of food. B. Her son was unwilling to try new things. C. They hoped to keep their family tradition. D They liked to live a life shown in a movie. 25. During the trip, Leopold ________. A. complained about the food there B. proposed to take an outdoor bath C. chose to ski a medium-level track D. was afraid of skiing on a mountain 26. According to the passage, which word can best describe Leopold? A. Determined. B. Outgoing. C. Modest. D. Creative 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Take life as it comes. B. Like mother, like son. C. Brave attempt offers delight. D. Extreme joy produces sorrow. C Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated competence across various sectors, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is revolutionizing how scripts are developed, and stories are told. Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles” (未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years. Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s (剧本) marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element resonates (引起共鸣). The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology checks character traits (特征) to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances. Beyond marketability StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving consistently with their established traits or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.” Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences. 28. What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films? A. The financial difficulties. B. The limited growth prospect. C. The decreasing customer base. D. The insufficient AI competence. 29. What is StoryFit able to do according to Paragraph 3? A. rewrite scripts for a wider audience. B. Determine the amount of investment. C. Evaluate scripts’ potential for success. D. Facilitate the process of screen writing. 30. According to Landers, what is StoryFit’s role in script analysis? A. A data-driven advisor. B. A decision-maker. C. A marketing specialist. D. A content developer. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the application of AI in the film industry? A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Concerned. D Apart from their often stunning flowers, plants and trees, what comes to mind when you think about gardens? Providing aesthetic (审美的) pleasure, gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being. According to a study conducted by UK’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS，皇家园艺学会) and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all. Many study participants noted that gardening provides them with a sense of relaxation, satisfaction, and happiness. “This research provides further data to support the value of gardening and gardens for mental restoration and promoting calmness of mind,” said co-author Ross Cameron of the University of Sheffield. Since 2019, the UK National Health Service has recommended gardening as a form of treatment. Gardening improves people’s mental well-being by making community ties stronger. In 2020, the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (花盆) in a community, which turned out to foster pride in the community. People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years, while non-participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening. According to the research, the level of cortisol, a hormone that regulates stress, was found to have significantly increased as well. This indicated a positive impact on stress reduction. Moreover, a study by Takasaki University in Japan showed that gardening helps people feel happier and more connected through activities like family gardening and community harvest festivals. Gardening is also good for the body. “Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn’t feel as strenuous (费力的) as going to the gym, for example, but we can expend similar amounts of energy,” said Lauriane Chalmin-Pui, an RHS study researcher in a press release. Fourteen percent of the respondents also noted that gardening helped maintain or promote physical exercise. In addition to burning calories and building muscle strength and flexibility, gardening offers direct sun exposure, which can boost vitamin D levels and reduce blood pressure. “One of the key things that we have forgotten as human beings is that we’re animals, and we’re part of a system,” Alistair Griffiths, the director of Science and Collections at RHS, added. “People see themselves as separate from nature, but we’re very much a part of it. What we have around us in our environment is critical to our well-being.” 32. What is the finding of the study by RHS and two universities? A. Gardeners score higher in fitness test. B. Gardens can help cure mental disorder. C. People tend to feel no stress in gardens. D. Gardening improves health and happiness. 33. How does gardening contribute to people’s mental well-being? A. It makes people proud of themselves. B. People are desperate to celebrate the harvest. C. It strengthens their relationships with neighbors. D People feel less stressed due to the hormones in plants. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Magic Power of Gardening B. Gardening for Mind Development C. A New Option for Workout D. Unexpected Joys in Gardens 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Great people overcome challenges and achieve remarkable things. Resilience (坚韧) is what helps them bounce back from difficulties and persist through challenges. If you want to achieve success, be resilient. ____35____ Resilience, after all, is a skill you can learn through purposeful actions and mindset shifts, not necessarily an innate (天生的) personality trait. ____36____ For example, if you’re rejected from a job, view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a final failure. By adopting this mindset, you recognize that not getting the job doesn’t diminish your worth or skills. Instead, it simply wasn’t the right fit at that moment. ____37____ Along with a resilient mindset, focus on effort and progress over perfection. ____38____ Instead, concentrate on the progress you make and the effort you put in. For instance, a writer who prioritizes regular publishing over perfecting each post is more likely to build resilience and improve over time. In addition to adjusting your mindset, there are practical steps you can take to strengthen resilience in your daily life. Practice stress management techniques like deep breathing and mindfulness. ____39____ Challenge your brain with activities like puzzles or by learning new skills. By incorporating these strategies into your life, you can develop the resilience to overcome challenges and achieve something great. A Build your brain’s resilience through admitting a failure. B. Adopt a “not yet” mindset instead of an “I can’t” attitude. C. Acquiring that isn’t as easy as it seems, but not impossible. D. Obtaining resilience is not possible if you are not born with it. E. This view helps you learn from disappointments and keep going. F. Perfectionism can stop you from finishing tasks and learning from them. G. Stay active with regular physical exercise to support both your body and mind. 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 How do you define a good life? Many would answer a happy life or a meaningful one. However, there could be a third answer: a “psychologically rich” life. According to a recent study, psychological richness in life is defined by extraordinary, diverse, and complex experiences that crucially lead to a change in perspective (思维方式). Across three surveys involving 1,336 college students, Shige Oishi from the University of Virginia and Erin Westgate from the University of Florida discovered that individuals were able to tell psychological richness from happiness and meaning by evaluating their own lives and well-being. “Unlike happy or meaningful lives, a psychologically rich life needs a variety of interesting and perspective-changing experiences,” wrote the researchers in their paper. They also pointed out that moving to another country, transitioning (转变) to a different career, or engaging with challenging art are three examples of the type of psychological richness that people seek. A change in perspective, which often means personal growth, can arise from unique experiences. For instance, study abroad programs can transform our thinking about life, while secondhand experiences from literature and film can also enrich our psychological perspective. “Humans created art and culture to essentially help themselves go through a wealth of experiences secondhand,” Oishi said. Some individuals, as a survey of 3,728 people across nine countries revealed, might choose a psychologically rich life filled with curiosity and exploration over a simply happy one. About 16 percent of participants from Germany, India, and South Korea preferred the former. A psychologically rich life, however, is not that you have to chase after new and exciting experiences all the time. Rather, living a psychologically rich life is to remain curious about life in its fullness, and not limit yourself to the comforts of what you already know. 40. What defines a psychologically rich life, according to the study? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. How could individuals figure out psychological richness? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➢ People could seek psychological richness from studying abroad and transitioning to a different career, but not secondhand experiences from literature and film. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43.

Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without turning to worn-out proverbs like “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, something our family has done a handful of times since watching the movie of the same name. We started saying yes before we even boarded our flight, when we stopped at a breakfast buffet at the airport. For me, that meant I sampled a vegan meatball (素食肉丸), while Leopold tried a mouse bite of hash browns (土豆饼) he said looked “funny”. Neither of us went back for seconds, but we each rated our new foods as “not bad.” The next day, after we got settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. He had taken a few lessons back at home but had never had the opportunity to snowboard on a mountain of this size. While he was in snowboarding school, I skied by myself. Inspired by Leopold, who had kept to our bargain and faced his fears time and time again, I challenged myself to ski an intermediate blue run (中级赛道). There was a part that was steeper (更陡峭) than I thought, but I did my slow, diligent S-turns and I made it down without being hurt. I was proud of myself for trying something new. Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited back at the room, he asked if we could try the outdoor hot bath. Mind you, it was winter, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet When I started to object, Leopold quoted our rule. Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together. 24. Why did the author suggest the “say yes” rule? A. Her son demanded too much of food. B. Her son was unwilling to try new things. C. They hoped to keep their family tradition. D. They liked to live a life shown in a movie. 25. During the trip, Leopold ________. A. complained about the food there B. proposed to take an outdoor bath C. chose to ski a medium-level track D. was afraid of skiing on a mountain 26. According to the passage, which word can best describe Leopold? A. Determined. B. Outgoing. C. Modest. D. Creative 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Take life as it comes. B. Like mother, like son. C. Brave attempt offers delight. D. Extreme joy produces sorrow. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者带挑食且不愿尝试新事物的儿子滑雪旅行时，制定“凡事说 yes”规则，母子俩共同尝试新事物并收获快乐的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without turning to worn-out proverbs like “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, something our family has done a handful of times since watching the movie of the same name. (利奥波德是个挑食的人，对尝试新事物犹豫不决。我希望找到一种方法来鼓励他，而不是求助于那些过时的谚语，比如“如果你不尝试，你永远不知道你是否喜欢它。”所以我借用了“Yes Day”的想法，自从看了同名电影后，我们家已经做过几次了)” 可知，作者提出“凡事说 yes”的规则，是因为儿子不愿尝试新事物。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited back at the room, he asked if we could try the outdoor hot bath. (那天下午晚些时候，我和利奥波德回到房间团聚时，他问我们能不能试试户外热水浴)”可知，旅行期间利奥波德提议去泡户外热水浴。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的 “Inspired by Leopold, who had kept to our bargain and faced his fears time and time again, I challenged myself to ski an intermediate blue run (中级赛道). (利奥波德遵守了我们的约定，一次次直面自己的恐惧，这激励了我，我挑战自己滑了一段中级蓝道)”可知，利奥波德能坚持规则、多次克服恐惧，“有决心的”最能描述他的性格。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段“Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.(是的，天气很冷，是的，我浑身湿透了。但感觉凉风吹在我的皮肤上也很清爽，我们一进去，温水的感觉就好多了。离开这里是另一回事，但我和利奥波德一起勇敢地走出来，这段经历令人愉快)”以及作者尝试素食肉丸、挑战中级滑雪道，儿子尝试新食物、直面滑雪恐惧，母子俩都因勇敢尝试新事物收获了快乐，这些表明勇敢尝试能带来快乐。故选C项。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated competence across various sectors, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is revolutionizing how scripts are developed, and stories are told. Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles” (未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years. Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s (剧本) marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element resonates (引起共鸣). The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology checks character traits (特征) to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances. Beyond marketability, StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving consistently with their established traits or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.” Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences. 28. What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films? A. The financial difficulties. B. The limited growth prospect. C. The decreasing customer base. D. The insufficient AI competence. 29. What is StoryFit able to do according to Paragraph 3? A. rewrite scripts for a wider audience. B. Determine the amount of investment. C. Evaluate scripts’ potential for success. D. Facilitate the process of screen writing. 30. According to Landers, what is StoryFit’s role in script analysis? A A data-driven advisor. B. A decision-maker. C. A marketing specialist. D. A content developer. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the application of AI in the film industry? A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Concerned. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了StoryFit公司将人工智能技术从出版行业转向电影行业，通过分析剧本的市场潜力、观众共鸣等为电影创作提供数据支持，展现了AI在电影行业的应用价值。 28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead.(然而，StoryFit发现出版行业的增长潜力不足，于是将目标转向了电影行业。)”可知，StoryFit将重心从出版业转向电影业的原因是出版业增长前景有限。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s marketability, assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element resonates. The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful.(首先，StoryFit分析剧本的市场潜力，评估故事是否符合观众需求以及每个叙事元素如何引起共鸣。电影行业风险很高，在获得回报之前需要大量投资。StoryFit提供数据判断这些风险是否有可能带来收益。)”可知，StoryFit能够评估剧本的成功潜力。 故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.”(然而，兰德斯强调，他们的作用是从数据中提取见解，而不是对剧本进行评价。她表示：“有些人的整个职业生涯都基于做出这些决定。但我们可以成为一种技术声音，帮助他们了解剧本中存在的问题或不足之处。”)”可知，兰德斯认为StoryFit在剧本分析中的角色是数据驱动的顾问。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry demonstrates artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences.(在电影行业使用像StoryFit这样的人工智能技术，展示了人工智能提升叙事的潜力。随着技术的进步，它对电影行业的影响只会越来越大，为更具吸引力和共鸣感的电影体验铺平道路。)”可知，作者对AI在电影行业的应用持支持态度。故选B。 D Apart from their often stunning flowers, plants and trees, what comes to mind when you think about gardens? Providing aesthetic (审美的) pleasure, gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being. According to a study conducted by UK’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS，皇家园艺学会) and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all. Many study participants noted that gardening provides them with a sense of relaxation, satisfaction, and happiness. “This research provides further data to support the value of gardening and gardens for mental restoration and promoting calmness of mind,” said co-author Ross Cameron of the University of Sheffield. Since 2019, the UK National Health Service has recommended gardening as a form of treatment. Gardening improves people’s mental well-being by making community ties stronger. In 2020, the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (花盆) in a community, which turned out to foster pride in the community. People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years, while non-participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening. According to the research, the level of cortisol, a hormone that regulates stress, was found to have significantly increased as well. This indicated a positive impact on stress reduction. Moreover, a study by Takasaki University in Japan showed that gardening helps people feel happier and more connected through activities like family gardening and community harvest festivals. Gardening is also good for the body. “Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn’t feel as strenuous (费力的) as going to the gym, for example, but we can expend similar amounts of energy,” said Lauriane Chalmin-Pui, an RHS study researcher in a press release. Fourteen percent of the respondents also noted that gardening helped maintain or promote physical exercise. In addition to burning calories and building muscle strength and flexibility, gardening offers direct sun exposure, which can boost vitamin D levels and reduce blood pressure. “One of the key things that we have forgotten as human beings is that we’re animals, and we’re part of a system,” Alistair Griffiths, the director of Science and Collections at RHS, added. “People see themselves as separate from nature, but we’re very much a part of it. What we have around us in our environment is critical to our well-being.” 32. What is the finding of the study by RHS and two universities? A. Gardeners score higher in fitness test. B. Gardens can help cure mental disorder. C. People tend to feel no stress in gardens. D. Gardening improves health and happiness. 33. How does gardening contribute to people’s mental well-being? A. It makes people proud of themselves. B. People are desperate to celebrate the harvest. C. It strengthens their relationships with neighbors. D. People feel less stressed due to the hormones in plants. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Magic Power of Gardening B. Gardening for Mind Development C. A New Option for Workout D. Unexpected Joys in Gardens 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍园艺除审美外，对人的身心健康有多方面益处，及相关研究佐证。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to a study conducted by UK’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS，皇家园艺学会) and two universities, individuals who engage in daily gardening tend to have well-being scores that are 6.6 percent higher and stress levels that are 4.2 percent lower than those who do not garden at all.(根据英国皇家园艺学会（RHS）和两所大学联合开展的一项研究，每天从事园艺活动的人，其幸福感得分比完全不从事园艺的人高6.6%，压力水平则低4.2%)”可知，该研究发现园艺能提升健康水平和幸福感。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Gardening improves people’s mental well-being by making community ties stronger. In 2020, the RHS conducted an experiment in which their researchers provided pre-planted tubs (花盆) in a community, which turned out to foster pride in the community. People engaged in conversations with neighbors for the first time in years, while non-participants bought plants after seeing their neighbors gardening.  (园艺通过加强社区联系来改善人们的心理健康。2020 年，皇家园艺学会开展了一项实验，研究人员在一个社区提供了预先种植好的花盆，结果这培养了社区自豪感。人们多年来第一次开始和邻居交谈，而非参与者则在看到邻居在做园艺后购买植物)”可知，园艺通过加强人们与邻居的关系来促进心理健康。故选C项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段中“Providing aesthetic (审美的) pleasure,gardening surprisingly offers numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being (提供审美上的愉悦，园艺出人意料地对身心健康有诸多益处)”可知，文章主要介绍园艺对人身心健康的各种益处。选项A“园艺的神奇力量”适合作为小标题。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Great people overcome challenges and achieve remarkable things. Resilience (坚韧) is what helps them bounce back from difficulties and persist through challenges. If you want to achieve success, be resilient. ____35____ Resilience, after all, is a skill you can learn through purposeful actions and mindset shifts, not necessarily an innate (天生的) personality trait. ____36____ For example, if you’re rejected from a job, view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a final failure. By adopting this mindset, you recognize that not getting the job doesn’t diminish your worth or skills. Instead, it simply wasn’t the right fit at that moment. ____37____ Along with a resilient mindset, focus on effort and progress over perfection. ____38____ Instead, concentrate on the progress you make and the effort you put in. For instance, a writer who prioritizes regular publishing over perfecting each post is more likely to build resilience and improve over time. In addition to adjusting your mindset, there are practical steps you can take to strengthen resilience in your daily life. Practice stress management techniques like deep breathing and mindfulness. ____39____ Challenge your brain with activities like puzzles or by learning new skills. By incorporating these strategies into your life, you can develop the resilience to overcome challenges and achieve something great. A. Build your brain’s resilience through admitting a failure. B. Adopt a “not yet” mindset instead of an “I can’t” attitude. C. Acquiring that isn’t as easy as it seems, but not impossible. D. Obtaining resilience is not possible if you are not born with it. E. This view helps you learn from disappointments and keep going. F. Perfectionism can stop you from finishing tasks and learning from them. G. Stay active with regular physical exercise to support both your body and mind. 【答案】35. C 36. B 37. E 38. F 39. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍坚韧的重要性，以及通过思维转变和实际行动培养坚韧的方法。 【35题详解】 上文“If you want to achieve success, be resilient. (如果你想获得成功，就要坚韧。)”提出“成功需要坚韧”的观点。下文“Resilience, after all, is a skill you can learn through purposeful actions and mindset shifts, not necessarily an innate personality trait.(毕竟，坚韧是一种可以通过有目的的行动和思维转变学到的技能，不一定是天生的性格特质。)”则说明“坚韧可后天学习”。由此可知，培养坚韧有难度但可行。选项C“获得坚韧并不像看起来那么容易，但并非不可能。”符合逻辑，承上启下。故选C。 【36题详解】 下文“For example, if you’re rejected from a job, view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a final failure. By adopting this mindset, you recognize that not getting the job doesn’t diminish your worth or skills. (例如，如果你求职被拒，要将其视为成长的机会，而非最终的失败。通过采用这种思维方式，你会意识到没得到这份工作并不会降低你的价值或技能。)”举例说明“用积极思维看待挫折”。由此可知，我们需要转变看待失败的观念。选项B“采用‘尚未做到’的思维方式，而非‘我做不到’的态度。”符合题意，提出了新的观念，下文是对其的举例说明。故选B。 【37题详解】 上文提出“采用‘尚未做到’的思维方式”，下文“Along with a resilient mindset, focus on effort and progress over perfection. (除了坚韧的思维方式，还要关注努力和进步，而非完美。)” 则引出“重视努力而非完美”的新观点。空处需承接上文提到的思维方式，并过渡到下文提到的努力与完美。选项E“这种观点能帮助你从失望中学习并继续前进。” 符合题意，其中“这种观点”指代上文“‘尚未做到’的思维方式”，既总结上文思维方式的作用，又自然引出下文。故选E。 【38题详解】 上文“Along with a resilient mindset, focus on effort and progress over perfection.

(通过拼图或学习新技能等活动挑战你的大脑。)” 举例“挑战大脑”。空处需补充另一种实际措施。选项G“通过规律的体育锻炼保持活跃，以支持你的身心。”符合题意，规律体育锻炼是实际措施之一。故选G。 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 How do you define a good life? Many would answer a happy life or a meaningful one. However, there could be a third answer: a “psychologically rich” life. According to a recent study, psychological richness in life is defined by extraordinary, diverse, and complex experiences that crucially lead to a change in perspective (思维方式). Across three surveys involving 1,336 college students, Shige Oishi from the University of Virginia and Erin Westgate from the University of Florida discovered that individuals were able to tell psychological richness from happiness and meaning by evaluating their own lives and well-being. “Unlike happy or meaningful lives, a psychologically rich life needs a variety of interesting and perspective-changing experiences,” wrote the researchers in their paper. They also pointed out that moving to another country, transitioning (转变) to a different career, or engaging with challenging art are three examples of the type of psychological richness that people seek. A change in perspective, which often means personal growth, can arise from unique experiences. For instance, study abroad programs can transform our thinking about life, while secondhand experiences from literature and film can also enrich our psychological perspective. “Humans created art and culture to essentially help themselves go through a wealth of experiences secondhand,” Oishi said. Some individuals, as a survey of 3,728 people across nine countries revealed, might choose a psychologically rich life filled with curiosity and exploration over a simply happy one. About 16 percent of participants from Germany, India, and South Korea preferred the former. A psychologically rich life, however, is not that you have to chase after new and exciting experiences all the time. Rather, living a psychologically rich life is to remain curious about life in its fullness, and not limit yourself to the comforts of what you already know. 40. What defines a psychologically rich life, according to the study? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. How could individuals figure out psychological richness? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➢ People could seek psychological richness from studying abroad and transitioning to a different career, but not secondhand experiences from literature and film. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What benefit(s) can you get from living a psychologically rich life? (In about 40 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. According to the study, a psychologically rich life is defined by extraordinary, diverse, and complex experiences that crucially lead to a change in perspective. 41. The study discovered that individuals were able to tell psychological richness from happiness and meaning by evaluating their own lives and well-being. 42. People can seek psychological richness from studying abroad and transitioning to a different career, but not secondhand experiences from literature and film. People can seek psychological richness from perspective-changing experiences, including moving to another country, transitioning to a different career, and secondhand experiences from literature and film. 43. It can bring a change in perspective, which often means personal growth. It also keeps us curious about life and helps us avoid limiting ourselves to known comforts. This is beneficial for us to pioneer and innovate. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍“心理富足的生活”这一概念，阐述其定义、识别方式、实现途径及部分人对其的偏好等。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“According to a recent study, psychological richness in life is defined by extraordinary, diverse, and complex experiences that crucially lead to a change in perspective (思维方式). (根据最近的一项研究，生活中的心理丰富性是由非凡、多样和复杂的经历来定义的，这些经历至关重要地导致了视角的改变。)”可知，根据这项研究，心理丰富的生活是由非凡、多样和复杂的经历来定义的，这些经历至关重要地导致了视角的改变。故答案为：According to the study, a psychologically rich life is defined by extraordinary, diverse, and complex experiences that crucially lead to a change in perspective. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Across three surveys involving 1,336 college students, Shige Oishi from the University of Virginia and Erin Westgate from the University of Florida discovered that individuals were able to tell psychological richness from happiness and meaning by evaluating their own lives and well-being. (弗吉尼亚大学的Shige Oishi和佛罗里达大学的Erin Westgate通过对1336名大学生进行的三项调查发现，人们能够通过评估自己的生活和幸福感来区分心理丰富性、幸福感和意义感。)”可知，研究发现，个体能够通过评估自己的生活和幸福感来区分心理丰富性与幸福感和意义。故答案为：The study discovered that individuals were able to tell psychological richness from happiness and meaning by evaluating their own lives and well-being. 【42题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第三段“They also pointed out that moving to another country, transitioning (转变) to a different career, or engaging with challenging art are three examples of the type of psychological richness that people seek.(他们还指出，移居到另一个国家，过渡到不同的职业，或从事具有挑战性的艺术是人们寻求心理丰富的三个例子。)”、第四段“For instance, study abroad programs can transform our thinking about life, while secondhand experiences from literature and film can also enrich our psychological perspective. (例如，留学项目可以改变我们对生活的看法，而来自文学和电影的间接体验也能丰富我们的心理视角。)”和第五段““Humans created art and culture to essentially help themselves go through a wealth of experiences secondhand,” Oishi said.(“人类创造艺术和文化，本质上是为了帮助自己经历丰富的二手体验，”Oishi说。)”可知，原句中“but not secondhand experiences from literature and film (但不是来自文学和电影的二手经验)”表述错误。因为人们可以从改变视角的经历中寻求心理上的丰富性，包括搬到另一个国家，过渡到不同的职业，以及从文学和电影中获得的二手经验。故答案为：People can seek psychological richness from studying abroad and transitioning to a different career, but not secondhand experiences from literature and film. People can seek psychological richness from perspective-changing experiences, including moving to another country, transitioning to a different career, and secondhand experiences from literature and film. 【43题详解】 考查归纳概括。通读全文，根据第一段“lead to a change in perspective (导致观点的改变)”、第四段“a change in perspective, which often means personal growth(观点的转变，这往往意味着个人成长)”及末段“remain curious about life in its fullness, and not limit yourself to the comforts (对生活的全貌保持好奇，不要局限于安逸的状态)”可知，需整合思维转变、个人成长、保持好奇心等核心益处。心理丰富的生活可以带来有意义的观点变化，这通常有助于显著的个人成长。此外，它让我们对生活充满好奇，帮助我们避免把自己局限在熟悉的舒适中。这有益于我们开拓创新。 故答案为：It can bring a meaningful change in perspective, which usually contributes to significant personal growth. Additionally, it keeps us fully curious about life and helps avoid confining ourselves to familiar comforts. This is beneficial for us to pioneer and innovate. 第二节(20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到计划来北京旅游，他对北京的公园很感兴趣，并向你咨询相关信息。请给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.表示欢迎； 2.推荐一座公园并给出理由。 注意：1.词数100左右，开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数; 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m so excited to hear you’re planning a trip to Beijing —welcome in advance! You mentioned being interested in Beijing’s parks, and I think Beihai Park is a perfect choice for you. It’s one of the oldest and most beautiful imperial parks in the city, with a history of over 1,000 years. You can walk around the quiet lake, admire the traditional Chinese pavilions (like the White Pagoda on the hilltop, which offers great views of the park), and even rent a boat to enjoy the scenery on the water. What’s more, it’s not as crowded as some other popular spots, so you can relax and feel the peaceful atmosphere of old Beijing easily. Let me know if you want more details about how to get there. I’m looking forward to hearing about your trip!
