B
I loved to argue. My fixation on being right had been a mainstay in my life and had often stirred up trouble in my family; there were moments when my marriage became strained and my kids grew distant. The longest fight I had was with my parents, and it dragged on for nearly a year.
My habit seemed immortal. Until an afternoon with my granddaughter opened my eyes to the impact my behaviour was having on the people around me. We were playing a board game when she made a move that broke the rules. I corrected her, but she ended up making the same mistake again. I read the rules out loud and asked if she got it this time. She smiled at me and shook her head. “Grandpa, why are you so stubborn?” she asked. “It’s just a game. We’ re here to have fun, aren’t we?” Something about her words really hit home. We weren’t there to be right, we were there to enjoy ourselves — how to move the pieces was merely a backdrop. What truly mattered was our bond and the moments we shared.
A few days later, my son came over for dinner. During the meal, he shared a viewpoint that struck me as baseless. Typically, I would have launched myself headfirst into a heated debate with him. But this time, as I parted my lips to respond, I found myself popping a forkful of pie into my mouth instead, enjoying it quietly. My tolerance surprised me, but what really took my breath away as I listened to him was a newfound desire to understand him. This experience brought me a joy that far surpassed (超出) the fleeting satisfaction of winning an argument.
In hindsight (事后想), my drive to win hadn’t really been about seeking the truth, but about showing I was better than everyone else. By letting go, I gained way more than I ever did by pushing back. Now I recognise that arguing at the dinner table is much like deciding to drink an extra cup of coffee. It is a matter of self-discipline. I had always understood this concept in theory, but it took a seven-year-old’s intervention for me to apply it.
4. What did the author’s passion for argument contribute to?
A. Damaged relationship. B. Moral development.
C. Troublesome children. D. Bittersweet marriage.
5. What did the author learn from his granddaughter’s words?
A. Good habits were hard to develop. B. Rules didn’t work in a board game.
C. Adults were more serious than kids. D. Connection was more vital than right.
6. What surprised the author most during the dinner?
A. The awareness of tolerance. B. The flavour of the tasty food.
C. The brief joy from winning. D. The urge to understand others.
7. Why does the author mention an extra cup of tea?
A. To spread a complex concept. B. To highlight the need for truth.
C. To identify the root of his habit. D. To compare two daily activities.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从热衷于争论到学会宽容与理解的心路历程。文章通过描述作者与家人之间的争执,特别是与孙女的互动,以及后来对争论本质的反思,展现了作者个人成长和心态的转变。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My fixation on being right had been a mainstay in my life and had often stirred up trouble in my family; there were moments when my marriage became strained and my kids grew distant.(我执着于正确已经成为我生活中的支柱,并且经常在家里引起麻烦;有时我的婚姻变得紧张,孩子们也变得疏远。)”可知,作者热衷于争论导致了家庭关系的紧张,包括婚姻和与孩子的关系都受到了影响。由此可知,作者热衷于争论导致了受损的关系。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We weren’t there to be right, we were there to enjoy ourselves — how to move the pieces was merely a backdrop. What truly mattered was our bond and the moments we shared.(我们不是在那里为了争谁对谁错,我们是去那里享受自己——如何移动棋子只是背景。真正重要的是我们的纽带和我们共享的时刻。)”可知,作者从孙女的言语中领悟到,在玩乐中,人与人之间的联系和共享的时刻比争论谁对谁错更加重要。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But this time, as I parted my lips to respond, I found myself popping a forkful of pie into my mouth instead, enjoying it quietly. My tolerance surprised me, but what really took my breath away as I listened to him was a newfound desire to understand him.(但这次,当我张开嘴准备回答时,我发现自己反而把一勺馅饼送进了嘴里,静静地享受着。我的宽容让我感到惊讶,但当我听他说话时,真正让我震惊的是一种新发现的想要理解他的渴望。)”可知,作者在晚餐时最惊讶的是自己产生了一种想要理解他人的新渴望,这种渴望超越了以往的争论和反驳。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In hindsight, my drive to win hadn’t really been about seeking the truth, but about showing I was better than everyone else. By letting go, I gained way more than I ever did by pushing back. Now I recognise that arguing at the dinner table is much like deciding to drink an extra cup of coffee. It is a matter of self-discipline.(事后想来,我争胜的欲望其实并不是为了寻求真理,而是为了显示我比其他人更优秀。通过放手,我获得的远比我反抗时要多。现在我认识到,在餐桌上争论就像决定再喝一杯咖啡一样,都是自律的问题。)”可知,作者提到额外的一杯咖啡是为了类比自己在餐桌上的争论行为,指出这两者都是自律的问题,从而揭示了自己争论习惯的根源在于缺乏自律。故选C。
C
When we think about what makes humans unique, a good sense of humor is often high on the list. Laughter and playful teasing seem like traits only we possess. However, recent research suggests that animals — particularly great apes — may also engage in behavior that resembles humor.
A study led by primatologist (灵长类动物学家) Isabelle Laumer at the Max Planck Institute reveals fascinating insights. “We documented young apes deliberately sneaking up to hit adults, then waiting expectantly for a reaction,” Laumer explains. “This isn’t random play — it meets all the criteria of intentional teasing.” Over 75 hours of video recordings showed this behavior mirrors how human children joke: repetitive, surprising, and aimed at seeking responses. The researchers noted that the apes even paused to watch for the adult’s reaction, much like a child waiting to see if their joke landed.
But humor in animals may not be limited to apes. Dog owners often notice their pets making breathy, snorting sounds during play, which some scientists interpret as laughter. In a 2025 study, researchers found that playing these sounds to shelter dogs reduced their stress levels. Similarly, dolphins emit joyful sounds during play-fighting, elephants trumpet excitedly when playing, and some parrots tease other animals — like confusing dogs with whistles — just for fun.
Why might animals exhibit humor? In humans, laughter strengthens social connections and eases tension. Scientists argue that playful teasing in apes or “laughter” in dogs could serve a similar purpose — breaking the ice and reinforcing relationships. Some researchers believe these behaviors may have evolved (进化) to help animals manage complex social ranks or reduce conflict. However, Laumer cautions that more research is needed to confirm this theory, as observing humor in animals remains challenging.
While we may never know if animals understand punchlines, their behaviors hint at humor’s deep evolutionary roots. As Laumer reflects: “The line between human and animal laughter isn’t as sharp as we thought.”
8. What did Laumer’s study find about young apes?
A. They enjoy teasing others. B. They often fight in groups.
C. They seek adult protection. D. They learn from human kids.
9. What does the underlined word “trumpet” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Wag. B. Smile. C. Nod. D. Shout.
10. Why might animals show humor?
A. To improve social status. B. To strengthen social bonds.
C. To win in complex conflicts. D. To get much more pleasure.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Animal Social Behaviors B. Do Animals Copy Our Laughs?
C. Animals Play Tricks Too D. Why Animals Understand Humor?
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通常人们认为幽默感是人类独有的特质,但近期研究表明,动物(尤其是类人猿)也可能表现出类似幽默的行为,且此类行为或有其进化意义,同时也指出观察动物幽默仍具挑战性,人与动物笑声的界限并非如想象中清晰。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““We documented young apes deliberately sneaking up to hit adults, then waiting expectantly for a reaction,” Laumer explains. “This isn’t random play — it meets all the criteria of intentional teasing.” (“我们记录了年轻的猿类故意偷偷摸摸地袭击成年猿,然后期待着成年猿的反应,”劳尔解释说。“这不是随机的游戏——它符合故意戏弄的所有标准。”)”可知,劳尔的研究发现,幼猿会故意捉弄成年猿类。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Similarly, dolphins emit joyful sounds during play-fighting (同样,海豚在打闹时也会发出欢快的声音)”及下文“and some parrots tease other animals — like confusing dogs with whistles — just for fun.( 一些鹦鹉会戏弄其他动物——比如用口哨把狗弄混——只是为了好玩)”可知,此处在描述动物玩耍时的声音表现。由此推知,划线词trumpet是指大象在玩耍时发出声音,与shout“大声叫喊”意思接近。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In humans, laughter strengthens social connections and eases tension. Scientists argue that playful teasing in apes or “laughter” in dogs could serve a similar purpose — breaking the ice and reinforcing relationships. (对人类来说,笑能加强社会联系,缓解紧张。科学家们认为,猿的嬉闹或狗的“笑”也能起到类似的作用——打破僵局,加强关系)”可知,动物表现幽默可能是为了加强社会联系。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“When we think about what makes humans unique, a good sense of humor is often high on the list. Laughter and playful teasing seem like traits only we possess. However, recent research suggests that animals — particularly great apes — may also engage in behavior that resembles humor. (当我们思考是什么让人类与众不同时,良好的幽默感往往名列前茅。笑和开玩笑似乎只有我们才拥有。然而,最近的研究表明,动物——尤其是类人猿——也可能有类似幽默的行为)”及下文可知,文章主要介绍研究发现动物(如猿类、狗、海豚、大象、鹦鹉等)会表现出类似幽默的行为(如捉弄、发出类似笑声的声音等),说明动物也会“耍小聪明”。由此可知,“Animals Play Tricks Too(动物也会恶作剧)”适合作本文标题。故选C。
D
After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not due to a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.
Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’s “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artists’ sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of.
Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastian Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.
“The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence.
12. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” well-known?
A. Its innovative artistic techniques. B. The incident of it being stolen.
C. The public’s curiosity concerning its creator. D. The long-term research on it by scholars.
13. What does Rochelle think of classics?
A. Enduring. B. Fading. C. Changeable. D. Admirable.
14. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By studying the causes for people’s shifting opinions.
B. By tracing the historical development of public taste standards.
C. By citing examples of some forgotten classics regaining fame.
D. By comparing the artistic values of different classic works.
15. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics?
A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time.
C The evolution of tastes. D. The lack of criticism.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过《蒙娜丽莎》的成名、艺术史上其他经典作品的例子以及音乐和文学领域的经典作品地位的变化,探讨了经典作品的地位并非永恒不变,而是取决于评论家和人们的观点,同时指出缺乏批评才是经典发展的真正敌人。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet it became famous not due to a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”.(然而,它的声名鹊起并非因为那抹诱人的蒙娜丽莎微笑。在1911年一名工人盗走这幅杰作之前,它始终寂寂无闻——直到观众蜂拥而至,只为一睹被法国报纸称作“巨大骇人空白”的失画现场)”可知,《蒙娜丽莎》被盗的事件使其闻名于世。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.(但正如历史学家Rochelle Gurstein在新书中所言,所谓“永恒经典”实则不然。她指出:“我曾深信镌刻在石碑上的经典,其实不过是写在水中的幻影。”经典之作始终在流动变迁中。)”可推知,Rochelle认为经典作品不过是写在水中的幻影,不是永恒不变的,而是可变的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Today, Johann Sebastian Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.(如今,约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫常被尊为古典乐巨匠。然而自1750年逝世后,巴赫的作品便淡出公众视野,直到1820年代才被德国作曲家费利克斯·门德尔松重新发掘。赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的杰作《白鲸》同样遭遇沉寂——在1919年他百年诞辰之际,经由哥伦比亚大学教授雷蒙德·韦弗等评论家的力荐,这部巨著才从湮没无闻的深渊中被拯救出来)”可知,本段通过列举巴赫的作品和赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的杰作《白鲸》的例子,说明了一些被遗忘的经典作品后来又重新获得了声誉。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence.(“经典的地位”取决于评论家,这彰显了充满激情的作家改变人们艺术视角的力量。审美趣味在不断演变,且理应如此。但文化唯有在人们持续争论何为当代经典的过程中才能生生不息。经典真正的敌人并非相对主义或觉醒意识,而是永恒的沉寂)”可知,文化唯有在人们持续争论过程中才能生生不息,所以经典真正的敌人是永恒的沉寂,即,没有争论或缺乏批评,最终会阻碍经典作品的发展。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题;每题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项,选项中的两项为多余选项。
How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance (监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious. ____16____ There are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help you deal with these troubles.
____17____ “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos.
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep. ____18____
Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles — or mishandles — your data, you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. ____19____ But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel. For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/ her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why? ____20____ Just to be sure, never leave the customer copy behind. You can destroy it later, but keep it under your control.
A. Walls have ears.
B. It’s never been better.
C. Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
D. Never broadcast your journey on social media.
E. However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.
F. Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear, leave.
G. Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a post office box instead of a home address.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍旅行时保护隐私的方法,包括不公开行程、排查住宿监控、谨慎提供个人信息等,帮助旅行者规避隐私风险。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious. (到目前为止,对旅行者的隐私来说,这不是容易的一年。数据泄露、监控担忧以及飞机座椅靠背和酒店房间里那些麻烦的摄像头,足以让乘客感到焦虑。)”以及下文“There are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help you deal with these troubles. (有一些方法可以在陆路和空中保护你的隐私。这些建议可以帮助你应对这些麻烦。)”可知,此空需形成转折,说明旅行者并非无力应对这些隐私威胁。E选项“However, travelers are not powerless against these threats. (然而,旅行者并非无力对抗这些威胁。)”中的“However”体现转折,既承接上文“隐私面临多种威胁”的焦虑,又引出下文“保护隐私的方法”,符合语境。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos. (丹尼·麦克劳克林说:“在脸书上宣布你要去某个地方旅行是不明智的,这会提醒很多人你的房子是空的。”“这会让你的安全处于危险之中。”等到你回来再开始发布度假照片。)”可知,本段围绕“不公开旅行行程”展开,此空应作为小标题概括主题。D选项“Never broadcast your journey on social media. (永远不要在社交媒体上公开你的行程。)”直接点明主题,与下文“不在脸书宣布旅行、返程后再发照片”的具体内容高度契合,符合语境。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep. (一些出租房屋的业主可能会安装安全摄像头。旅行者应该了解房东是否被要求披露监控设备的存在。如果出租屋配有摄像头,要仔细检查确保它们不在敏感区域。)”可知,此空需说明发现监控问题后的应对措施。F选项“Report anything doubtful to the host immediately — and if you don’t like what you hear, leave. (立即向房东报告任何可疑情况——如果你不喜欢你听到的答复,就离开。)”既承接上文“排查监控设备”的行为,又给出具体的后续处理方式,符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles — or mishandles — your data, you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. (虽然你无法控制酒店或航空公司如何处理——或不当处理——你的数据,但你可以采取合理的步骤确保他们掌握的信息不会给你带来麻烦。)”可知,此空需补充“保护个人数据”的具体做法,即谨慎提供个人信息。G选项“Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a post office box instead of a home address. (一些旅行者只提供最基本的信息,比如用邮政信箱代替家庭住址。)”直接举例说明如何“合理步骤保护数据”,符合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/ her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why? (当员工问你名字时,你最好把身份证递给他们,并让他们把房间号写在一张纸上。为什么?)”可知,此空需解释“让员工写下房间号”的原因——避免隐私泄露。A选项“Walls have ears. (隔墙有耳。)”形象地说明公开告知房间号可能导致隐私泄露,解释了前文做法的合理性,符合语境。故选A项。
第三部分:英语知识运用

【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在中国宣布新的全球文明倡议后不久,此次西安会议成为这一宏大国际主义宣言的首批显著实践之一。meeting 特指前文提到的“20 多个国家专家齐聚西安的会议”,为特指概念,需用定冠词修饰。故填the。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A few years ago, my mom went to the doctor to ask him about her neck. He looked at her and then told her she needed to see a blood specialist. It turned out there was something wrong with her lymph glands (淋巴结), and she would have to have a tissue sample taken. Soon they had scheduled her for surgery on the seventh of September.
As soon as I found out, I was very angry. September 7 is my birthday. I screamed and shouted at her and everyone else, too. I even shouted at the dog. I ran into my room, crying. I sat on my bed thinking, Why do things always have to happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? I didn’t even think about how my mom, the one who was actually going to have surgery. was feeling.
For the next couple of weeks, I was unhappy. Deep down I knew I shouldn’t act that way, but I did anyway. Anyone could see I was making my mom feel sad. I knew it wasn’t her fault, but I had to have someone to blame.
Finally, my birthday came. My parents left early in the morning for the hospital, and my aunt came to look after my brother and me. All day we played games, opened presents and had a picnic in the yard. Everyone pretended to have fun, but the tension in the air was as thick as peanut butter, and you could tell no one was really having a good time.
My parents came home late that night. My mom walked in with a bandage (绷带) on her neck. She sat down and rested her head on my dad’s shoulder. It hurt so badly; she couldn’t even talk. My dad had to tell us what had happened They had left the hospital all right, but Mom insisted on buying me a birthday gift. Then, the car broke down. My mom had to sit in a cold car while my dad tried to get help.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Later that night, Mom pulled out a bag and handed it to me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that moment, I realized how selfish and hurtful my actions had been
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Later that night, Mom pulled out a bag and handed it to me. Inside the bag was a beautifully wrapped gift. Tears welled up in my eyes as I held the thoughtful present in my hands. The anger and upset I felt earlier had completely given way to a sense of guilt and understanding. I hugged my mom tightly, careful not to disturb the bandage on her neck and offered a heartfelt apology for my earlier emotional outburst. With a weak but loving smile, she whispered that my happiness meant the world to her.
At that moment, I realized how selfish and hurtful my actions had been. This awareness was especially striking considering my mom’s challenging surgery and the accompanying pain. The weight of my past words and actions hung heavily on my mind, leaving me feeling regretful and sickened. It served as a wake-up call, urging me to be more considerate, especially toward those I held dear. I promised to be there for her during her recovery, and I learned that sometimes, life’s challenges can teach us the importance of showing love and understanding to our family and friends.

I loved to argue. My fixation on being right had been a mainstay in my life and had often stirred up trouble in my family; there were moments when my marriage became strained and my kids grew distant. The longest fight I had was with my parents, and it dragged on for nearly a year.
My habit seemed immortal. Until an afternoon with my granddaughter opened my eyes to the impact my behaviour was having on the people around me. We were playing a board game when she made a move that broke the rules. I corrected her, but she ended up making the same mistake again. I read the rules out loud and asked if she got it this time. She smiled at me and shook her head. “Grandpa, why are you so stubborn?” she asked. “It’s just a game. We’ re here to have fun, aren’t we?” Something about her words really hit home. We weren’t there to be right, we were there to enjoy ourselves — how to move the pieces was merely a backdrop. What truly mattered was our bond and the moments we shared.
A few days later, my son came over for dinner. During the meal, he shared a viewpoint that struck me as baseless. Typically, I would have launched myself headfirst into a heated debate with him. But this time, as I parted my lips to respond, I found myself popping a forkful of pie into my mouth instead, enjoying it quietly. My tolerance surprised me, but what really took my breath away as I listened to him was a newfound desire to understand him. This experience brought me a joy that far surpassed (超出) the fleeting satisfaction of winning an argument.
In hindsight (事后想), my drive to win hadn’t really been about seeking the truth, but about showing I was better than everyone else. By letting go, I gained way more than I ever did by pushing back. Now I recognise that arguing at the dinner table is much like deciding to drink an extra cup of coffee. It is a matter of self-discipline. I had always understood this concept in theory, but it took a seven-year-old’s intervention for me to apply it.
4. What did the author’s passion for argument contribute to?
A. Damaged relationship. B. Moral development.
C. Troublesome children. D. Bittersweet marriage.
5. What did the author learn from his granddaughter’s words?
A. Good habits were hard to develop. B. Rules didn’t work in a board game.
C. Adults were more serious than kids. D. Connection was more vital than right.
6. What surprised the author most during the dinner?
A. The awareness of tolerance. B. The flavour of the tasty food.
C. The brief joy from winning. D. The urge to understand others.
7. Why does the author mention an extra cup of tea?
A. To spread a complex concept. B. To highlight the need for truth.
C. To identify the root of his habit. D. To compare two daily activities.
C
When we think about what makes humans unique, a good sense of humor is often high on the list. Laughter and playful teasing seem like traits only we possess. However, recent research suggests that animals — particularly great apes — may also engage in behavior that resembles humor.
A study led by primatologist (灵长类动物学家) Isabelle Laumer at the Max Planck Institute reveals fascinating insights. “We documented young apes deliberately sneaking up to hit adults, then waiting expectantly for a reaction,” Laumer explains. “This isn’t random play — it meets all the criteria of intentional teasing.” Over 75 hours of video recordings showed this behavior mirrors how human children joke: repetitive, surprising, and aimed at seeking responses. The researchers noted that the apes even paused to watch for the adult’s reaction, much like a child waiting to see if their joke landed.
But humor in animals may not be limited to apes. Dog owners often notice their pets making breathy, snorting sounds during play, which some scientists interpret as laughter. In a 2025 study, researchers found that playing these sounds to shelter dogs reduced their stress levels. Similarly, dolphins emit joyful sounds during play-fighting, elephants trumpet excitedly when playing, and some parrots tease other animals — like confusing dogs with whistles — just for fun.
Why might animals exhibit humor? In humans, laughter strengthens social connections and eases tension. Scientists argue that playful teasing in apes or “laughter” in dogs could serve a similar purpose — breaking the ice and reinforcing relationships. Some researchers believe these behaviors may have evolved (进化) to help animals manage complex social ranks or reduce conflict. However, Laumer cautions that more research is needed to confirm this theory, as observing humor in animals remains challenging.
While we may never know if animals understand punchlines, their behaviors hint at humor’s deep evolutionary roots. As Laumer reflects: “The line between human and animal laughter isn’t as sharp as we thought.”
8. What did Laumer’s study find about young apes?
A. They enjoy teasing others. B. They often fight in groups.
C. They seek adult protection. D. They learn from human kids.
9. What does the underlined word “trumpet” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Wag. B. Smile. C. Nod. D. Shout.
10. Why might animals show humor?
A. To improve social status. B. To strengthen social bonds.
C. To win in complex conflicts. D. To get much more pleasure.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Animal Social Behaviors B. Do Animals Copy Our Laughs?
C. Animals Play Tricks Too D. Why Animals Understand Humor?
D
After Taylor Swift the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not due to a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.
Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’s “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artists’ sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of.
Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastian Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.
“The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence.
12. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” well-known?
A. Its innovative artistic techniques. B. The incident of it being stolen.
C. The public’s curiosity concerning its creator. D. The long-term research on it by scholars.
13. What does Rochelle think of classics?
A. Enduring. B. Fading. C. Changeable. D. Admirable.
14. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By studying the causes for people’s shifting opinions.
B. By tracing the historical development of public taste standards.
C. By citing examples of some forgotten classics regaining fame.
D. By comparing the artistic values of different classic works.
15. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics?
A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time.
C. The evolution of tastes. D. The lack of criticism.

How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance (监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious. ____16____ There are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help you deal with these troubles.
____17____ “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos.
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep. ____18____
Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles — or mishandles — your data you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. ____19____ But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel. For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/ her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why? ____20____ Just to be sure, never leave the customer copy behind. You can destroy it later, but keep it under your control.
A. Walls have ears.
B. It’s never been better.
C. Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
D. Never broadcast your journey on social media.
E. However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.
F. Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear, leave.
G. Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a post office box instead of a home address.

A few years ago, my mom went to the doctor to ask him about her neck. He looked at her and then told her she needed to see a blood specialist. It turned out there was something wrong with her lymph glands (淋巴结), and she would have to have a tissue sample taken. Soon they had scheduled her for surgery on the seventh of September.
As soon as I found out, I was very angry. September 7 is my birthday. I screamed and shouted at her and everyone else, too. I even shouted at the dog. I ran into my room, crying. I sat on my bed thinking, Why do things always have to happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? I didn’t even think about how my mom, the one who was actually going to have surgery. was feeling.
For the next couple of weeks, I was unhappy. Deep down I knew I shouldn’t act that way, but I did anyway. Anyone could see I was making my mom feel sad. I knew it wasn’t her fault, but I had to have someone to blame.
Finally, my birthday came. My parents left early in the morning for the hospital, and my aunt came to look after my brother and me. All day we played games, opened presents and had a picnic in the yard. Everyone pretended to have fun, but the tension in the air was as thick as peanut butter, and you could tell no one was really having a good time.
My parents came home late that night. My mom walked in with a bandage (绷带) on her neck. She sat down and rested her head on my dad’s shoulder. It hurt so badly; she couldn’t even talk. My dad had to tell us what had happened They had left the hospital all right, but Mom insisted on buying me a birthday gift. Then, the car broke down. My mom had to sit in a cold car while my dad tried to get help.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Later that night, Mom pulled out a bag and handed it to me.
