For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Scientific Personalities Since ancient Greece, people have used zodiac signs(星座) to judge a person’s character traits. Even today, it seems that people are still fascinated with trying 21 (figure) out people’s personality types based on science. According to The Washington Post, a new study published in the journal Nature Human Behavior on Sept 17 22 tell us something more about who we are. It identified four personality types: reserved, role models, average and self-centered.    In this study, about 1.5 million participants from the US and the UK were asked to rate 23 number of written statements. These statements were all related to the five main personality traits everyone 24 (believe) to possess: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness. Researchers, with the aid of computer software, found that self-centered people scored higher on extroversion, but lower than average on the other four traits. “These are people you don’t want to hang out with,” co-author William Revelle, professor of psychology, told the Daily Mail. Members of the reserved group were lacking 25 openness and extroversion, but were more agreeable and conscientious. These people are usually unwilling to try new things, but are kind and cooperative, according to the study. People 26 (define) as role models scored well in most traits, but were weak in emotional stability. “These are people who are dependable and open to new ideas,” Luís Amaral, co-director of the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems in the US, told Newsweek. “These are good people to be in charge of things. In fact, life is easier if you have more dealings with role models.” 27 these three personality types, a totally new type was found: average. This type, according to Science Daily, get average scores in all traits. Females are more likely than males to fall into this type. The study also shows that there is connection between personality type, gender and age, reported The Washington Post. For example, role models are usually seniors, 28 the traits of the self-centered type mainly fall in teenage males. However, “certain facets (方面) are changing,” Amaral told USA Today. “ 29 people mature and grow, their personality also matures and grows. I think there is a positive message that people mature and they move to 30 (desirable) characteristics.” 【答案】 21．to figure 22．may 23．a 24．is believed 25．in 26．defined 27．Besides 28．while 29．As 30．more desirable 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项发表在《自然・人类行为》期刊上的新研究，该研究基于科学方法将人的性格分为谨慎型、榜样型、平均型和自我中心型四类，并探讨了性格类型与性别、年龄的关联，以及性格随人成熟而发展的特点。 21．考查非谓语动词。句意：即便在今天，人们似乎仍热衷于尝试依据科学来解读他人的性格类型。try to do sth.意为“努力/尝试做某事”，为固定短语。故填to figure。 22．考查情态动词。句意：据《华盛顿邮报》报道，9月17日发表在《自然・人类行为》期刊上的一项新研究，或许能让我们更深入地了解自己。根据“tell us something more about who we are(告诉我们更多关于我们是谁的信息)”可知，此处表示一种可能性，应使用表示“可能”含义的情态动词。故填may。 23．考查冠词。句意：在这项研究中，来自美国和英国的约150万名参与者被要求对若干书面陈述进行评分。短语a number of意为“许多，若干”。故填a。 24．考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：这些陈述均与人们普遍认为每个人都具备的五大核心性格特质相关，即外向性、宜人性、尽责性、情绪稳定性和开放性。此处 everyone与 believe是被动关系，需用被动语态 be believed；主语 everyone是单数，且全文时态以一般现在时为主。故填is believed。 25．考查介词。句意：谨慎型人群在开放性和外向性上表现不足，但在宜人性和尽责性上得分更高。固定搭配 lack in，表示 “在……方面缺乏”。故填in。 26．考查非谓语动词。句意：被定义为“榜样型”的人在大多数性格特质上得分都很优异，唯独在情绪稳定性上表现较弱。空处在句子中作定语，使用非谓语动词，逻辑主语People和动词define之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应使用过去分词作后置定语。故填defined。 27．考查介词。句意：除了这三种性格类型外，研究还发现了一种全新的类型：平均型。前文已介绍 “谨慎型、榜样型、自我中心型”三种性格，此处引出第四种 “平均型”，需填表 “补充、除此之外” 的介词；besides表示“除……之外（还有）”，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Besides。 28．考查连词。句意：例如，榜样型性格通常多见于老年人，而自我中心型性格的特质则主要集中在青少年男性群体中。前后两个分句“role models are usually seniors(榜样型通常是年长者)”和“the traits of the self-centered type mainly fall in teenage males(自我中心型的特质主要集中在青少年男性身上)”之间存在对比关系，表示“而”，应使用表示“而”含义的连词。故填while。 29．考查连词、时间状语从句。句意：随着人们逐渐成熟成长，他们的性格也会随之成熟发展。主句“their personality also matures and grows(他们的性格也会成熟和成长)”和从句“people mature and grow(人们成熟和成长)”之间存在时间上的同步关系，表示“当……时；随着”，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填As。 30．考查形容词比较级。句意：我认为这里蕴含着一个积极的信息：人们会不断成熟，并向更理想的性格特征转变。根据上文“people mature(人们成熟)”可知，人们成熟后会转向“更”好的特征，此处隐含了与过去或不成熟状态的比较，应使用形容词desirable的比较级，故填more desirable。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

And if you did have one, would you want to meet them? Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you. Your passport, ID card and driving license all 31 your face. To enter your workplace, you likely need to be recognizable. You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly even need it to 32 you from being present at a crime scene. The word “doppelganger” refers to a person who looks the same as you, 33 sharing your features; those that you thought were unique to you and your identity. Not an identical twin, as a doppelganger has no relation to you. The idea 34 in German folklore (民间传说). A doppelganger was said to be a spirit-double that replicated every human and beast on earth. So, let’s get real. What are the chances of you having one in the first place? There’s said to be a one in 135 chance of an absolute dead ringer for you existing anywhere in the world, so the chances are pretty low, despite folk wisdom 35 you otherwise. And the chances of meeting? The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is 36 less than one in a trillion! That said, these statistics may be a good thing. Historically, having a double hasn’t always been a(n) 37 . Back in 1999, an innocent American man, 38 from the real criminal, was sent to prison for robbery, where he stayed for 19 years. In the end, it turned out to be a case of 39 identity. In a different case, a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelganger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity! And, why are people interested in finding their possible doppelganger anyway? It may be helpful to look to the past when facial 40 indicated family ties.

The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very 41 . The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish 42 from family to family. 43 is another consideration with some children getting a weekly allowance and others given a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should 44 what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a(n) 45 . Parents are usually advised not to 46 more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that 47 need to be made between spending and saving. Older children may be 48 enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Allowances give children a chance to 49 the things they can do with money. They can share the money in the 50 of gifts or give to a good cause, spend it by buying things they want, or save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require 51 : you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save 52 of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal 53 . A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利). Interest rates on savings can be very low these days, but compounding 54 by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat. My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year. My first life was a dream: happy, healthy, with a great job and a beautiful home. But then a progressive motor nerve disease ended it, affecting my right arm and leg, and then my left side. My second life had begun. Despite my illness, I drove to work with special equipment. I stayed optimistic thanks to the 14 steps from my garage to the kitchen. Those steps were my yardstick — a daily challenge. I felt that if I could no longer manage those 14 steps, I would finally admit defeat and die. On a dark August night in 1971, my third life began. Driving home through a storm, my steering wheel suddenly jerked and I heard a tire blowout. For me, changing a tire was utterly impossible. I started the engine and slowly drove on the flat tire until I found a house with lighted windows. I pulled into the driveway and honked the horn for help. The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortably and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm. About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now.” “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple (跛者). Glad to be of help. I know you’d do the same for me. There’s no charge, friend.” I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.” 56．“A cat has nine lives” here means ______. A．a cat can live nine times longer than any other animal B．a cat can die ninth C．a lucky man cannot die easily D．the writer will live nine times 57．What do you think of the man who helped change the tire? A．Warm-hearted but pitiable. B．Warm-hearted and happy. C．A blind old man that has nothing to do every day. D．A poor old man that is always ready to help others. 58．How will the story be ended? A．The writer paid the little girl but the old man did not accept. B．The writer drove away with tears running down his cheek. C．The writer stayed there, without knowing what to do and how to do. D．In the next few frozen seconds the writer felt the shame and astonishment he had never felt before. 59．The best title for this passage perhaps will be ______. A．The Old Man and His Daughter. B．Heart Leaping Up. C．Never Lose Heart. D．Good Will Be Rewarded Good. 【答案】56．C 57．B 58．D 59．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者历经生活磨难与疾病困扰，在一次暴风雨夜车辆出故障时，得到一对祖孙无偿帮助，且得知老人是盲人后内心受到触动的故事。体现了作者面对生活磨难与疾病困扰时，始终不放弃、保持乐观的精神。 56．词句猜测题。根据第一段“They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat.(人们说猫有九条命，我觉得这是可能的，因为我现在已经在过我的第三辈子了，而我甚至不是一只猫)”可知，作者将自己多次度过困境比作猫有九条命，该俗语在此处指幸运的人不易遭遇不幸。故选C。 57．推理判断题。根据第六段“When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting.(当她知道我遇到的情况后，就走进了房子，过了一会儿又出来了，后面跟着一个男人，他愉快地打了个招呼)”和第七段“He shook his head, ‘Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple (跛者). Glad to be of help. I know you’d do the same for me. There’s no charge, friend.”(他摇了摇头，“没什么。辛西娅告诉我你是个跛子。很高兴能帮上忙。我知道你也会这么做的。这是免费的，朋友。”)”以及“I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.”(我拿出一张5美元的钞票，“不！我喜欢自己付钱。”他没有伸手去拿，小女孩走近窗户，平静地说：“爷爷看不见。”)”可知，老人乐于助人且心态乐观。故选B。 58．推理判断题。根据第七段“I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.”(我拿出一张5美元的钞票，“不！我喜欢自己付钱。”他没有伸手去拿，小女孩走近窗户，平静地说：“爷爷看不见。”)”可知，作者原本坚持要付钱，却得知无偿帮助自己的老人是盲人，从情理上推断，作者此刻应会感到羞愧与震惊——羞愧于自己坚持付钱的举动，震惊于盲人老人在暴风雨中帮忙换轮胎的善举。故选D。 59．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat.(他们说猫有九条命，我认为这是可能的，因为我现在过着第三条命，而且我甚至不是猫。)”等内容可知，文章贯穿始终的核心是作者面对生活磨难与疾病困扰时，始终不放弃、保持乐观的心态。“Never Lose Heart (永不灰心)”精准契合这一主旨，适合用作标题。故选C。 B Shanghai Green Initiative 2025 Urban Greening Volunteer Program Announcement The Shanghai Green Initiative (SGI) is proud to launch our most ambitious environmental project yet — the 2025 Urban Greening Campaign.

The study, conducted over two years by a team at Fudan University, analyzed how different types of background music affect students’ concentration, memory retention, and problem-solving abilities. The experiment involved 1,200 high school students divided into four groups. Group A studied in complete silence, Group B listened to classical music (e.g., Mozart), Group C was exposed to ambient nature sounds, and Group D experienced pop music playlists. All participants completed standardized cognitive tasks and memorization exercises during 90-minute sessions, while their brain activity was monitored via EEG (脑电图) devices. Results revealed significant disparities: students in Group B showed a 15% improvement in mathematical problem-solving accuracy compared to Group A, while Group D’s performance dropped by 10% in memory retention tasks. One key finding highlighted the “Mozart effect,” a phenomenon where structured, melodious compositions appear to stimulate the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), enhancing logical reasoning. However, this benefit disappeared when the music contained lyrics. Dr. Li Wei, the lead researcher, explained, “Lyrics compete for linguistic processing resources in the brain, creating cognitive overload.” Meanwhile, surrounding nature sounds improved sustained attention during reading tasks but had minimal impact on analytical thinking. Surprisingly, the study also showed myths about personalized playlists (播放列表) were wrong. Students who claimed to “study better with their favorite songs” often performed worse than those in the silent group, suggesting subjective comfort does not equate to productivity. Additionally, brain scans indicated that fast-paced music (over 120 beats per minute) increased stress hormones like cortisol (皮质醇), damaging focus. The implications are profound. With 78% of surveyed Shanghai high schoolers regularly using music while studying, educators are urged to provide evidence-based guidelines. The research team recommends instrumental music at 60-80 BPM for tasks requiring logic, and total silence for language memorization. Critics argue that individual differences matter, but the large sample size strengthens the findings’ reliability. As AI-powered study apps begin integrating these insights — automatically suggesting optimal background sounds based on task type—students must balance scientific recommendations with self-awareness. After all, the brain’s response to sensory input remains as unique as a fingerprint. 63．Why do lyrics in music have a negative effect on studying according to Dr. Li Wei? A．They increase cortisol levels. B．They distract linguistic processing resources. C．They make students overly relaxed. D．They are rarely in students’ native language. 64．Which recommendation agrees with the study’s conclusions? A．Use fast-paced music for language memorization. B．Listen to pop music during logic-heavy tasks. C．Choose instrumental music at 60–80 BPM for math homework. D．Always study in complete silence for all subjects. 65．What is implied about “personalized playlists” in Paragraph 4? A．They are more effective than classical music. B．Students’ self-assessment of their effectiveness may be inaccurate. C．They work well for math problems. D．They reduce stress hormones effectively. 66．What does the underlined word “optimal” most likely mean? A．Random. B．Worst. C．Best. D．Traditional. 【答案】63．B 64．C 65．B 66．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是音乐与认知表现之间的关系，通过一项为期两年的研究分析了不同类型背景音乐对学生专注力、记忆力和解决问题能力的影响。 63．细节理解题。根据第三段“Lyrics compete for linguistic processing resources in the brain, creating cognitive overload.(歌词会争夺大脑中的语言处理资源，造成认知超载)”可知，歌词对学习有负面影响是因为它们分散了语言处理资源。故选B。 64．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The research team recommends instrumental music at 60-80 BPM for tasks requiring logic, and total silence for language memorization.(研究小组建议，对于需要逻辑思维的任务，60-80 BPM的器乐是最好的；对于语言记忆，最好是完全安静)”可推知，数学作业选择60-80 BPM的器乐与研究结论一致。故选C。 65．推理判断题。根据第四段“Surprisingly, the study also showed myths about personalized playlists (播放列表) were wrong. Students who claimed to “study better with their favorite songs” often performed worse than those in the silent group, suggesting subjective comfort does not equate to productivity.(令人惊讶的是，该研究还表明，关于个性化播放列表的种种说法其实是错误的。那些声称“听自己喜欢的歌曲能学得更好”的学生，其表现往往比安静组的学生更差，这表明主观上的舒适感并不等同于学习效率)”可推知，学生对教学效果的自我评估可能不准确。故选B。 66．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“As AI-powered study apps begin integrating these insights(随着人工智能学习应用开始整合这些见解)”，“automatically suggesting(自动建议)”和“background sounds based on task type(基于任务类型的背景声音)”可知，人工智能学习应用整合这些见解，根据任务类型自动推荐最佳背景声音。由此可知，optimal的意思是“最佳的，最适的”，和best意思相近。故选C。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Best Language for Math What’s the best language for learning math? Hint: You’re not reading it. Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries. 67 Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University. Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at “11”. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one” — spoken with the “ten” first. 68 English number words over 10 don’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法). 69 It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4 70 Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract. Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you! A．So it’s not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly. B．The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors. C．Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. D．This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. E．Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve math problems differently. F．That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10. 【答案】67．C 68．F 69．B 70．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中文、日文和韩文等语言在数学表达上相较于英语的优越性，主要体现在数字词汇的简洁性和对数学概念表达的清晰性上。 67．下文“Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University.(研究人员包括西北大学教育学院教授Karen Fuson和德克萨斯A&M大学中国数学教育专家Li Yeping)”提到了一些研究中文和英文在数学表达上差异的研究人员，C选项“Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. (特别是中文和英文之间的差异，已经研究了几十年)”引出下文，说明中文和英文之间的差异已经被研究多年，与下文提到的研究人员相呼应。故选C项。 68．上文“English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one” — spoken with the “ten” first.(英语中每个数字都有独立命名，而中文(以及日语、韩语等语言)则采用“十一”(先说“十”再说“一”)这样的组合表达方式)”对比了英语和中文等语言在表达数字上的差异，F选项“That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10.(这使得孩子们更容易理解位值，也清楚地表明数字系统是基于10的单位)”进一步解释了中文等语言在表达数字上的优势，即更容易让孩子理解位值的概念，并且清楚地表明数字系统是基于10的单位，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 69．根据上文“English number words over 10 don’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法).(英语中超过10的数字单词未能明确标示数位。表示“十几”的数字单词颠倒了个位数与“十”的顺序，这容易导致儿童混淆，例如将17与71弄混。因此，使用英语数字单词的儿童在进行多位数加减法时会更加困难)”可知，本句介绍了英语数词在表达上的不清晰导致的问题，B选项“The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors.(解决问题所需的额外思维步骤会导致更多错误)”进一步解释了这种不清晰如何导致孩子在数学运算中出错，符合语境。故选B项。 70．上文“It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4(对于说中文的人来说，使用“凑十”加减法策略比说英语的人更自然。当把两个数字相加时，学生把数字分解成几部分，然后把它们重新组合成十和一。例如，9加5变成9加1加4)”介绍了中文使用者在进行加减法时更倾向于使用“凑十”策略，D选项“This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems.(这种方法是解决更高级的多位数加减法问题的有力工具)”承接上文，说明这种方法是解决更高级的多位数加减法问题的有力工具，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Fiction Reading For many people, nothing is more enjoyable than spending a whole afternoon reading a good novel. But are novels simply a pleasant way to pass the time, or could it be true that reading fiction actually benefits our lives? One of the joys of fiction is that it can take us to places that our lives won’t. It can transport us to 17th-century France, or to war-torn Germany. It can take us to a future world in which artificial intelligence takes over and books are banned, or a fantasy world where people bail it out for food. Fiction can also introduce us to a whole range of people that we haven’t yet met. And this, according to Carrie Oates, a novelist and academic, is perhaps the real benefit of stories. In one of Oates’ studies, participants were asked to read either a short story by Chekhov or a version of the story in documentary form. Those who were given the fictionalized version were found to be more likely to sympathize with the characters, thus going through greater changes in personality. In another study, she showed participants photos of the eyes of people who were feeling and thinking different things. The people who read fiction were better able to interpret those thoughts and feelings than those who didn’t. Oates explains that when we read fiction, we enter into the minds of the characters. We think about why they behave in a certain way, and what they are likely to do next. Just as we might become more knowledgeable about psychology and astronomy if we read about psychology and astronomy, we get better at this kind of social thinking if we read fiction. This improves our understanding of the thoughts and feelings of those around us in real life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】       Reading Fiction is joyful and beneficial to our lives.（有好处；1分）We can be led to where we can’t go in real life, and introduced to different people.（不同的地方和人；1分）Oates finds that fiction reading enables us to better identify characters（认同角色；1分）, thus changing our personalities（改变性格-细节一1分）.This understanding interprets others’ mind and feelings（更能解析别人的情感；1分）, becoming more socially knowledgeable in reality（使人更博学或更理解周围人-细节二1分）.（共57词） 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了阅读小说带来的乐趣以及对生活的益处。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①For many people, nothing is more enjoyable than spending a whole afternoon reading a good novel. ②One of the joys of fiction is that it can take us to places that our lives won’t. ③Fiction can also introduce us to a whole range of people that we haven’t yet met. ④Those who were given the fictionalized version were found to be more likely to sympathize with the characters, thus going through greater changes in personality. ⑤The people who read fiction were better able to interpret those thoughts and feelings than those who didn’t. ⑥This improves our understanding of the thoughts and feelings of those around us in real life. 2.缜密构思将第1个要点进行总结，作为总起句，将2、3两个要点进行整合，将4、5、6三个要点进行整合。 3.遣词造句 Reading Fiction is joyful and beneficial to our lives.

When we lend a hand, we make others’ lives easier and spread positivity, creating a warmer society. Last month, I noticed a classmate struggling with math problems after school. I offered to explain the concepts, spending an hour daily reviewing with him. His grades improved significantly, and his grateful smile moved me deeply. Through this, I learned that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. This experience taught me that helping others is mutually rewarding — it fosters friendship and builds my confidence.

Listening comprehension Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard. 1. W: We have never been here before. Do you have anything special to recommend? M: Well, madam, our seafood pizza is really good. Q: Who is most probably the man? 2. M: When does the next train leave for Shanghai? W: The train leaves every thirty minutes and the last train left ten minutes ago so you won’t have to wait for long. Q: How long will the man have to wait? 3. M: I have a map of the campus, but I still can’t find the library with a sculpture exhibit in it. Can you tell me how to get there? W: That looks like an old map. Follow me. I’m going that way myself. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place? 4. W: I can’t believe that I went through the trouble of arranging everything for the party and then no one came. M: How come? Q: How does the woman feel? 5. M: I’m so tired. I spent all last night thinking about the graduation speech I have to give next week. W: Come on, you will be fine. Just don’t stress yourself out. Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? 6. W: I think I forgot my umbrella. Did you notice that it was raining outside? M: Yeah, it is. And I just realize that I left my car window open. Q: What will the man most probably do next? 7. W: What on earth did you do to your eye? M: Oh, nothing. It looks a lot worse than it feels. Q: What does the man mean? 8. W: It’s all right to wear jeans for a class presentation, isn’t it? M: That’s what I’m wearing. But if we wear jackets too, maybe we won’t look so casual. Q: What is the man’s suggestion? 9. W: I hear that you are working as a pizza deliverer this summer. It’s got to be awfully hot riding a bicycle all day to every corner of the town. M: Well, to tell the truth, but for the pay, I couldn’t even work for a day. Q: What does the man imply? 10. M: You’ve sold your car. You don’t need one? W: Not really. I’ve never liked driving anyway. Now that we have moved to a place near the subway, we can get about quite conveniently without a car. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? Section B Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Huge numbers of unknown plants and animals are in danger. The Earth, according to various estimates, supports between 5 million and 80 million species. “Species,” says Dr Lovejoy, “are disappearing before we have a chance to learn how they might benefit the rest of the world.” Thousands of kinds of plants could help feed a growing world population. About four out of every ten medicines come from ingredients found in plants. Some animals also provide medicines. “It’s natural for species to become extinct over millions of years,” says Dr Lovejoy. What’s unnatural is that humans are speeding up the process many times over.” Actually, humans have a great impact on other living things that share the Earth. And people are doing this in four main ways: making the living places of wildlife less habitable, hunting excessively, introducing new species that endanger native wildlife, and making the environment dirty and polluted. These activities affect all species in one way or another, because all life is interconnected. Is there time to prevent disaster? “Just barely,” say scientists. Worldwide action will be difficult and costly. But scientists agree that action must be taken quickly. Time is running out. (Now listen again，please) Questions: 11. What percentage of plants provide medicines for humans? 12. Which of the following is not responsible for the disappearing of wildlife? 13. What is the main purpose of the passage? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. During the seven years that I’ve been working with the aircraft parts marketing team, I’m familiar with each new project assignment. I think it’s fair to say that I contribute a lot more value today than I did about seven years ago. One reason is that, with each technical project, I bring more technical know-how than I did before. I make a conscious effort to learn from past mistakes and successes and to make sure that each new project benefits from the lessons that I have learned in the previous ones. Another factor is leadership – the ability to lead troubled projects to success. When our Brazilian passenger aircraft project was in trouble last year, I stepped in. When distribution service projects in Germany nearly fell through this year, I stepped in. I think you’re familiar with my nickname, “the fireman.” I’m the “go-to” guy who gets called in to put out fires and get troubled projects going again. I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Business today is about creating value at all levels. And I’m all about value. So, I think you’ll agree that I’m due for a pay raise. Thank you. (Now listen again，please) Questions: 14. Why is the speaker called “the fireman”? 15. What can we learn about the speaker? 16. Why does the speaker make the speech? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W: Mm. this coffee is really strong. M: It is so strong. I like white coffee. W: So do I. But I like black coffee today. During my last class I was thinking about coming here and could almost taste the coffee. M: Sounds like it wasn’t too interesting. W: I was bored to death. I’m in that psychology class only because it is a requirement so I have to stick it out. The problem is, the professor doesn’t know how to arouse our interest. She just walks in, gives us lectures and assignments. There is no discussion. Do you have any classes like that? M: I have only one big lecture class—world history—and the professor’s the best. It’s so appealing that I’m always on the edge of my seat. And when we have discussions, the room is filled with electricity. W: I’m jealous. It is so bad. I have already taken world history. M: You know, one day it occurred to me that I was lucky to be in her class because I found myself thinking a lot about what she said. Did you ever have a teacher like that?

Guided Writing （25分） 76.【参考答案】                                           The Joy of Helping Others       Helping others not only strengthens our community spirit but also brings inner fulfillment. When we lend a hand, we make others’ lives easier and spread positivity, creating a warmer society. Last month, I noticed a classmate struggling with math problems after school. I offered to explain the concepts, spending an hour daily reviewing with him. His grades improved significantly, and his grateful smile moved me deeply. Through this, I learned that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. This experience taught me that helping others is mutually rewarding — it fosters friendship and builds my confidence. As the saying goes, “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” Let’s embrace the joy of giving! 答案第2页，共2页 ( 1 / 2 )学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Listening comprehension section a directions in section a, the you hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Scientific Personalities Since ancient Greece, people have used zodiac signs(星座) to judge a person’s character traits. Even today, it seems that people are still fascinated with trying 21 (figure) out people’s personality types based on science. According to The Washington Post, a new study published in the journal Nature Human Behavior on Sept 17 22 tell us something more about who we are. It identified four personality types: reserved, role models, average and self-centered.    In this study, about 1.5 million participants from the US and the UK were asked to rate 23 number of written statements. These statements were all related to the five main personality traits everyone 24 (believe) to possess: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness. Researchers, with the aid of computer software, found that self-centered people scored higher on extroversion, but lower than average on the other four traits. “These are people you don’t want to hang out with,” co-author William Revelle, professor of psychology, told the Daily Mail. Members of the reserved group were lacking 25 openness and extroversion, but were more agreeable and conscientious. These people are usually unwilling to try new things, but are kind and cooperative, according to the study. People 26 (define) as role models scored well in most traits, but were weak in emotional stability. “These are people who are dependable and open to new ideas,” Luís Amaral, co-director of the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems in the US, told Newsweek. “These are good people to be in charge of things. In fact, life is easier if you have more dealings with role models.” 27 these three personality types, a totally new type was found: average. This type, according to Science Daily, get average scores in all traits. Females are more likely than males to fall into this type. The study also shows that there is connection between personality type, gender and age, reported The Washington Post. For example, role models are usually seniors, 28 the traits of the self-centered type mainly fall in teenage males. However, “certain facets (方面) are changing,” Amaral told USA Today. “ 29 people mature and grow, their personality also matures and grows. I think there is a positive message that people mature and they move to 30 (desirable) characteristics.” Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．supposedly       B．puzzling    C． positive    D．mistaken    E. resemblance F. feature    G. essentially    H. originated    I. exclude    J. assuring    K. indistinguishable Finding Your Doppelganger What is the likelihood of you having someone who looks just like you? And if you did have one, would you want to meet them? Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you. Your passport, ID card and driving license all 31 your face. To enter your workplace, you likely need to be recognizable. You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly even need it to 32 you from being present at a crime scene. The word “doppelganger” refers to a person who looks the same as you, 33 sharing your features; those that you thought were unique to you and your identity. Not an identical twin, as a doppelganger has no relation to you. The idea 34 in German folklore (民间传说). A doppelganger was said to be a spirit-double that replicated every human and beast on earth. So, let’s get real. What are the chances of you having one in the first place? There’s said to be a one in 135 chance of an absolute dead ringer for you existing anywhere in the world, so the chances are pretty low, despite folk wisdom 35 you otherwise. And the chances of meeting? The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is 36 less than one in a trillion! That said, these statistics may be a good thing. Historically, having a double hasn’t always been a(n) 37 . Back in 1999, an innocent American man, 38 from the real criminal, was sent to prison for robbery, where he stayed for 19 years. In the end, it turned out to be a case of 39 identity. In a different case, a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelganger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity! And, why are people interested in finding their possible doppelganger anyway? It may be helpful to look to the past when facial 40 indicated family ties. Maybe one day you’ll meet your lookalike, but we understand that, after this, you possibly don’t want to! III. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context How an Allowance Helps Children Learn About Money Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (零花钱). The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very 41 . The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish 42 from family to family. 43 is another consideration with some children getting a weekly allowance and others given a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should 44 what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a(n) 45 . Parents are usually advised not to 46 more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that 47 need to be made between spending and saving. Older children may be 48 enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Allowances give children a chance to 49 the things they can do with money. They can share the money in the 50 of gifts or give to a good cause, spend it by buying things they want, or save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require 51 : you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save 52 of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal 53 . A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利). Interest rates on savings can be very low these days, but compounding 54 by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it 55 . 41．A．costly B．forgivable C．likely D．public 42．A．benefits B．differs C．increases D．passes 43．A．Means B．Purpose C．Quality D．Timing 44．A．come across B．cover up C．give up D．make clear 45．A．area B．budget C．period D．position 46．A．donate B．lend C．offer D．pay 47．A．breaks B．changes C．charges D．choices 48．A．afraid B．dependent C．fortunate D．responsible 49．A．collect B．demonstrate C．experience D．name 50．A．form B．mode C．pattern D．type 51．A．innovation B．obedience C．research D．sacrifice 52．A．all B．little C．none D．part 53．A．achievement B．finance C．identity D．relationship 54．A．exercises B．reacts C．reduces D．works 55．A．adds up B．carries on C．fades away D．takes over Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat. My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year. My first life was a dream: happy, healthy, with a great job and a beautiful home. But then a progressive motor nerve disease ended it, affecting my right arm and leg, and then my left side. My second life had begun. Despite my illness, I drove to work with special equipment. I stayed optimistic thanks to the 14 steps from my garage to the kitchen. Those steps were my yardstick — a daily challenge. I felt that if I could no longer manage those 14 steps, I would finally admit defeat and die. On a dark August night in 1971, my third life began. Driving home through a storm, my steering wheel suddenly jerked and I heard a tire blowout. For me, changing a tire was utterly impossible. I started the engine and slowly drove on the flat tire until I found a house with lighted windows. I pulled into the driveway and honked the horn for help. The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortably and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm. About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now.” “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple (跛者). Glad to be of help. I know you’d do the same for me. There’s no charge, friend.” I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.” 56．“A cat has nine lives” here means ______. A．a cat can live nine times longer than any other animal B．a cat can die ninth C．a lucky man cannot die easily D．the writer will live nine times 57．What do you think of the man who helped change the tire?

A．report on Shanghai’s environmental achievements B．advertise paid internship opportunities C．introduce new urban planning policies D．recruit student volunteers for green projects C Recent research published in Psychological Science explores the intriguing relationship between music and cognitive performance, sparking debate among educators and students alike. The study, conducted over two years by a team at Fudan University, analyzed how different types of background music affect students’ concentration, memory retention, and problem-solving abilities. The experiment involved 1,200 high school students divided into four groups. Group A studied in complete silence, Group B listened to classical music (e.g., Mozart), Group C was exposed to ambient nature sounds, and Group D experienced pop music playlists. All participants completed standardized cognitive tasks and memorization exercises during 90-minute sessions, while their brain activity was monitored via EEG (脑电图) devices. Results revealed significant disparities: students in Group B showed a 15% improvement in mathematical problem-solving accuracy compared to Group A, while Group D’s performance dropped by 10% in memory retention tasks. One key finding highlighted the “Mozart effect,” a phenomenon where structured, melodious compositions appear to stimulate the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), enhancing logical reasoning. However, this benefit disappeared when the music contained lyrics. Dr. Li Wei, the lead researcher, explained, “Lyrics compete for linguistic processing resources in the brain, creating cognitive overload.” Meanwhile, surrounding nature sounds improved sustained attention during reading tasks but had minimal impact on analytical thinking. Surprisingly, the study also showed myths about personalized playlists (播放列表) were wrong. Students who claimed to “study better with their favorite songs” often performed worse than those in the silent group, suggesting subjective comfort does not equate to productivity. Additionally, brain scans indicated that fast-paced music (over 120 beats per minute) increased stress hormones like cortisol (皮质醇), damaging focus. The implications are profound. With 78% of surveyed Shanghai high schoolers regularly using music while studying, educators are urged to provide evidence-based guidelines. The research team recommends instrumental music at 60-80 BPM for tasks requiring logic, and total silence for language memorization. Critics argue that individual differences matter, but the large sample size strengthens the findings’ reliability. As AI-powered study apps begin integrating these insights — automatically suggesting optimal background sounds based on task type—students must balance scientific recommendations with self-awareness. After all, the brain’s response to sensory input remains as unique as a fingerprint. 63．Why do lyrics in music have a negative effect on studying according to Dr. Li Wei? A．They increase cortisol levels. B．They distract linguistic processing resources. C．They make students overly relaxed. D．They are rarely in students’ native language. 64．Which recommendation agrees with the study’s conclusions? A．Use fast-paced music for language memorization. B．Listen to pop music during logic-heavy tasks. C．Choose instrumental music at 60–80 BPM for math homework. D．Always study in complete silence for all subjects. 65．What is implied about “personalized playlists” in Paragraph 4? A．They are more effective than classical music. B．Students’ self-assessment of their effectiveness may be inaccurate. C．They work well for math problems. D．They reduce stress hormones effectively. 66．What does the underlined word “optimal” most likely mean? A．Random. B．Worst. C．Best. D．Traditional. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Best Language for Math What’s the best language for learning math? Hint: You’re not reading it. Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries. 67 Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University. Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at “11”. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one” — spoken with the “ten” first. 68 English number words over 10 don’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法). 69 It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4 70 Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract. Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you! A．So it’s not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly. B．The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors. C．Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. D．This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. E．Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve math problems differently. F．That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10. IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Fiction Reading For many people, nothing is more enjoyable than spending a whole afternoon reading a good novel. But are novels simply a pleasant way to pass the time, or could it be true that reading fiction actually benefits our lives? One of the joys of fiction is that it can take us to places that our lives won’t. It can transport us to 17th-century France, or to war-torn Germany. It can take us to a future world in which artificial intelligence takes over and books are banned, or a fantasy world where people bail it out for food. Fiction can also introduce us to a whole range of people that we haven’t yet met. And this, according to Carrie Oates, a novelist and academic, is perhaps the real benefit of stories. In one of Oates’ studies, participants were asked to read either a short story by Chekhov or a version of the story in documentary form. Those who were given the fictionalized version were found to be more likely to sympathize with the characters, thus going through greater changes in personality. In another study, she showed participants photos of the eyes of people who were feeling and thinking different things. The people who read fiction were better able to interpret those thoughts and feelings than those who didn’t. Oates explains that when we read fiction, we enter into the minds of the characters. We think about why they behave in a certain way, and what they are likely to do next. Just as we might become more knowledgeable about psychology and astronomy if we read about psychology and astronomy, we get better at this kind of social thinking if we read fiction. This improves our understanding of the thoughts and feelings of those around us in real life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Scientific Personalities Since ancient Greece, people have used zodiac signs(星座) to judge a person’s character traits. Even today, it seems that people are still fascinated with trying 21 (figure) out people’s personality types based on science. According to The Washington Post, a new study published in the journal Nature Human Behavior on Sept 17 22 tell us something more about who we are. It identified four personality types: reserved, role models, average and self-centered.    In this study, about 1.5 million participants from the US and the UK were asked to rate 23 number of written statements. These statements were all related to the five main personality traits everyone 24 (believe) to possess: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness. Researchers, with the aid of computer software, found that self-centered people scored higher on extroversion, but lower than average on the other four traits. “These are people you don’t want to hang out with,” co-author William Revelle, professor of psychology, told the Daily Mail. Members of the reserved group were lacking 25 openness and extroversion, but were more agreeable and conscientious. These people are usually unwilling to try new things, but are kind and cooperative, according to the study. People 26 (define) as role models scored well in most traits, but were weak in emotional stability. “These are people who are dependable and open to new ideas,” Luís Amaral, co-director of the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems in the US, told Newsweek. “These are good people to be in charge of things. In fact, life is easier if you have more dealings with role models.” 27 these three personality types, a totally new type was found: average. This type, according to Science Daily, get average scores in all traits. Females are more likely than males to fall into this type. The study also shows that there is connection between personality type, gender and age, reported The Washington Post. For example, role models are usually seniors, 28 the traits of the self-centered type mainly fall in teenage males. However, “certain facets (方面) are changing,” Amaral told USA Today. “ 29 people mature and grow, their personality also matures and grows. I think there is a positive message that people mature and they move to 30 (desirable) characteristics.” Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．supposedly       B．puzzling    C． positive    D．mistaken    E. resemblance F. feature    G. essentially    H. originated    I. exclude    J. assuring    K. indistinguishable Finding Your Doppelganger What is the likelihood of you having someone who looks just like you? And if you did have one, would you want to meet them? Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you. Your passport, ID card and driving license all 31 your face. To enter your workplace, you likely need to be recognizable. You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly even need it to 32 you from being present at a crime scene. The word “doppelganger” refers to a person who looks the same as you, 33 sharing your features; those that you thought were unique to you and your identity. Not an identical twin, as a doppelganger has no relation to you. The idea 34 in German folklore (民间传说). A doppelganger was said to be a spirit-double that replicated every human and beast on earth. So, let’s get real. What are the chances of you having one in the first place? There’s said to be a one in 135 chance of an absolute dead ringer for you existing anywhere in the world, so the chances are pretty low, despite folk wisdom 35 you otherwise. And the chances of meeting? The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is 36 less than one in a trillion! That said, these statistics may be a good thing. Historically, having a double hasn’t always been a(n) 37 . Back in 1999, an innocent American man, 38 from the real criminal, was sent to prison for robbery, where he stayed for 19 years. In the end, it turned out to be a case of 39 identity. In a different case, a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelganger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity! And, why are people interested in finding their possible doppelganger anyway? It may be helpful to look to the past when facial 40 indicated family ties. Maybe one day you’ll meet your lookalike, but we understand that, after this, you possibly don’t want to! III. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context How an Allowance Helps Children Learn About Money Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (零花钱). The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very 41 . The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish 42 from family to family. 43 is another consideration with some children getting a weekly allowance and others given a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should 44 what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a(n) 45 . Parents are usually advised not to 46 more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that 47 need to be made between spending and saving. Older children may be 48 enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Allowances give children a chance to 49 the things they can do with money. They can share the money in the 50 of gifts or give to a good cause, spend it by buying things they want, or save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require 51 : you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save 52 of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal 53 . A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利). Interest rates on savings can be very low these days, but compounding 54 by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it 55 . 41．A．costly B．forgivable C．likely D．public 42．A．benefits B．differs C．increases D．passes 43．A．Means B．Purpose C．Quality D．Timing 44．A．come across B．cover up C．give up D．make clear 45．A．area B．budget C．period D．position 46．A．donate B．lend C．offer D．pay 47．A．breaks B．changes C．charges D．choices 48．A．afraid B．dependent C．fortunate D．responsible 49．A．collect B．demonstrate C．experience D．name 50．A．form B．mode C．pattern D．type 51．A．innovation B．obedience C．research D．sacrifice 52．A．all B．little C．none D．part 53．A．achievement B．finance C．identity D．relationship 54．A．exercises B．reacts C．reduces D．works 55．A．adds up B．carries on C．fades away D．takes over Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat. My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year. My first life was a dream: happy, healthy, with a great job and a beautiful home. But then a progressive motor nerve disease ended it, affecting my right arm and leg, and then my left side. My second life had begun. Despite my illness, I drove to work with special equipment. I stayed optimistic thanks to the 14 steps from my garage to the kitchen. Those steps were my yardstick — a daily challenge. I felt that if I could no longer manage those 14 steps, I would finally admit defeat and die. On a dark August night in 1971, my third life began. Driving home through a storm, my steering wheel suddenly jerked and I heard a tire blowout. For me, changing a tire was utterly impossible. I started the engine and slowly drove on the flat tire until I found a house with lighted windows. I pulled into the driveway and honked the horn for help. The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortably and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm. About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now.” “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple (跛者). Glad to be of help. I know you’d do the same for me. There’s no charge, friend.” I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.” 56．“A cat has nine lives” here means ______. A．a cat can live nine times longer than any other animal B．a cat can die ninth C．a lucky man cannot die easily D．the writer will live nine times 57．What do you think of the man who helped change the tire? A．Warm-hearted but pitiable. B．Warm-hearted and happy. C．A blind old man that has nothing to do every day. D．A poor old man that is always ready to help others. 58．How will the story be ended? A．The writer paid the little girl but the old man did not accept. B．The writer drove away with tears running down his cheek. C．The writer stayed there, without knowing what to do and how to do. D．In the next few frozen seconds the writer felt the shame and astonishment he had never felt before. 59．The best title for this passage perhaps will be ______. A．The Old Man and His Daughter. B．Heart Leaping Up. C．Never Lose Heart. D．Good Will Be Rewarded Good.

The study, conducted over two years by a team at Fudan University, analyzed how different types of background music affect students’ concentration, memory retention, and problem-solving abilities. The experiment involved 1,200 high school students divided into four groups. Group A studied in complete silence, Group B listened to classical music (e.g., Mozart), Group C was exposed to ambient nature sounds, and Group D experienced pop music playlists. All participants completed standardized cognitive tasks and memorization exercises during 90-minute sessions, while their brain activity was monitored via EEG (脑电图) devices. Results revealed significant disparities: students in Group B showed a 15% improvement in mathematical problem-solving accuracy compared to Group A, while Group D’s performance dropped by 10% in memory retention tasks. One key finding highlighted the “Mozart effect,” a phenomenon where structured, melodious compositions appear to stimulate the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), enhancing logical reasoning. However, this benefit disappeared when the music contained lyrics. Dr. Li Wei, the lead researcher, explained, “Lyrics compete for linguistic processing resources in the brain, creating cognitive overload.” Meanwhile, surrounding nature sounds improved sustained attention during reading tasks but had minimal impact on analytical thinking. Surprisingly, the study also showed myths about personalized playlists (播放列表) were wrong. Students who claimed to “study better with their favorite songs” often performed worse than those in the silent group, suggesting subjective comfort does not equate to productivity. Additionally, brain scans indicated that fast-paced music (over 120 beats per minute) increased stress hormones like cortisol (皮质醇), damaging focus. The implications are profound. With 78% of surveyed Shanghai high schoolers regularly using music while studying, educators are urged to provide evidence-based guidelines. The research team recommends instrumental music at 60-80 BPM for tasks requiring logic, and total silence for language memorization. Critics argue that individual differences matter, but the large sample size strengthens the findings’ reliability. As AI-powered study apps begin integrating these insights — automatically suggesting optimal background sounds based on task type—students must balance scientific recommendations with self-awareness. After all, the brain’s response to sensory input remains as unique as a fingerprint. 63．Why do lyrics in music have a negative effect on studying according to Dr. Li Wei? A．They increase cortisol levels. B．They distract linguistic processing resources. C．They make students overly relaxed. D．They are rarely in students’ native language. 64．Which recommendation agrees with the study’s conclusions? A．Use fast-paced music for language memorization. B．Listen to pop music during logic-heavy tasks. C．Choose instrumental music at 60–80 BPM for math homework. D．Always study in complete silence for all subjects. 65．What is implied about “personalized playlists” in Paragraph 4? A．They are more effective than classical music. B．Students’ self-assessment of their effectiveness may be inaccurate. C．They work well for math problems. D．They reduce stress hormones effectively. 66．What does the underlined word “optimal” most likely mean? A．Random. B．Worst. C．Best. D．Traditional. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Best Language for Math What’s the best language for learning math? Hint: You’re not reading it. Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries. 67 Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University. Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at “11”. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one” — spoken with the “ten” first. 68 English number words over 10 don’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法). 69 It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4 70 Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract. Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you! A．So it’s not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly. B．The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors. C．Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. D．This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. E．Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve math problems differently. F．That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10. IV.

Fiction Reading For many people, nothing is more enjoyable than spending a whole afternoon reading a good novel. But are novels simply a pleasant way to pass the time, or could it be true that reading fiction actually benefits our lives? One of the joys of fiction is that it can take us to places that our lives won’t. It can transport us to 17th-century France, or to war-torn Germany. It can take us to a future world in which artificial intelligence takes over and books are banned, or a fantasy world where people bail it out for food. Fiction can also introduce us to a whole range of people that we haven’t yet met. And this, according to Carrie Oates, a novelist and academic, is perhaps the real benefit of stories. In one of Oates’ studies, participants were asked to read either a short story by Chekhov or a version of the story in documentary form. Those who were given the fictionalized version were found to be more likely to sympathize with the characters, thus going through greater changes in personality. In another study, she showed participants photos of the eyes of people who were feeling and thinking different things. The people who read fiction were better able to interpret those thoughts and feelings than those who didn’t. Oates explains that when we read fiction, we enter into the minds of the characters. We think about why they behave in a certain way, and what they are likely to do next. Just as we might become more knowledgeable about psychology and astronomy if we read about psychology and astronomy, we get better at this kind of social thinking if we read fiction. This improves our understanding of the thoughts and feelings of those around us in real life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
