VI. Guided Writing （25分） Sample: 【答案】Dear Kevin, I’m glad to hear from you and learn that you’re considering taking a programming course. Given your situation, I’d like to recommend Course A. Course A organizes teaching activities around specific problems, which is highly practical. You’ll immediately apply what you learn to real-world scenarios, helping you better understand and master programming skills. In contrast, Course B’s approach of learning knowledge and skills from easy to difficult might be a bit more theoretical and less hands-on in the initial stage. In terms of teaching methods, although Course B combines online and offline learning, Course A’s pure offline teaching allows for more direct and in-person interactions with the teacher and classmates. You can get instant feedback and have in-depth discussions, which is beneficial for your learning. Regarding the assessment method, Course A mainly relies on the final exam. This encourages you to focus on comprehensive learning throughout the course, aiming for a good overall performance. While Course B’s assessment based on class performance, homework, and the final exam might add more pressure and distractions. I believe Course A is more suitable for you to enhance your programming abilities. I hope my advice helps.

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. Finnish architect observes city’s shifting rhythms Almost every day, Finnish architect Jarmo Suominen rides his bike through Shanghai — not toward a destination, but into the city’s rhythm. He carries no map. Beneath clotheslines and tangled wires, he stops to observe and sketch. For Suominen, a professor at Tongji University, curiosity fuels both his work and life. His students call him Sou Sou, meaning “search” — a nickname 1 reflects his constant exploration. His bike rides are a form of engagement — a way to witness 2 people and places interact. “In Shanghai, you never know what you’ll find,” he told Shanghai Daily. “You turn down an alley (小巷子) and suddenly you’re in a hidden garden behind a dead-end. People create these little worlds. It’s amazing.” He values Shanghai’s “sensitive renewal,” a process 3 (drive) as much by residents as by government departments. “The street is 4 life happens,” he said. “The government might renovate facades (外立面), but inside, people make small, gradual upgrades. It’s not about replacing everything, but about letting people shape their future.” One of his favorite examples is a car repair shop near his home. “Every night, it transforms into a nightclub 5 talks, performances and movie screenings. It wasn’t designed to be one — it just became one.” For Suominen, the street is a canvas, always evolving with the people inhabiting it. A man playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores (梧桐树) 6 (become), through his eyes, a sign of constant transformation. “The soul of a place,” he said, “isn’t in the architecture. It’s in the life around 7 : the feeling that you’re welcome, _______ ___8_ you’re a stranger.” Suominen has filled more than 20 sketchbooks with these scenes, each 9 (reveal) the dynamic interplay between people and space. “In older neighborhoods, you see lives spilling into the streets — something unique to China, especially Shanghai,” he added. “In Finland, where the cold keeps people inside, you 10 hardly observe people’s values and habits in the same way.” 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．accumulative   B．discouraging   C． disengage   D．flowing   E. identically    F. partly  G. persisted   H. reserved   I. shift   J. underlying   K. wonder Language affects kids’ interest in science One of the best parts of being a parent has to be watching children discover the world around them. After all, kids are endlessly curious, and part of the fun is seeing the 11 on their faces as they learn about even simple objects and ideas. Yet over time parents may find that their child is becoming less interested in exploring the world around them and less likely to investigate the 12 “why” of things — that is, less curious about science. Why does this 13 happen? There are, of course, a number of different factors at play, but researchers have found: this loss of interest may be 14 the result of subtle language cues children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from media kids consume or from schoolteachers or curricula. All youngsters can do science, but over time they begin to think of being a scientist as something 15 for only certain kinds of kids. However, there are some steps you can take to keep the curiosity alive and the science 16 . When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today” or “You’re such a good scientist” But this kind of language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than a set of activities and actions that people do, can be demotivating. One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might be calling to mind a (white) man. If they don’t share that identity, they might 17 from an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical belief emerges surprisingly early and has 18 effects such that by high school, girls who are at the 80th percentile (百分位) of science ability have the same likelihood of majoring in certain STEM fields as boys in the lowest percentile. The good news is that subtle linguistic cues can be employed to promote engagement with science in surprisingly powerful ways. In one study, students whose teachers used more action-focused language (such as “Let’s do science”) 19 longer in a novel science game than students whose teachers used more identity-focused language. But it’s also true that during adolescence, your kids are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its 20 effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In one study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades. III. Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2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 A critical life skill is fading out — and especially fast among young adults. What are the key characteristics that shape the length and quality of our careers, 21 and lives more broadly? The socio-economic environment we grow up in certainly has a substantial influence. Cognitive (认知的) abilities are another 22 one: they enable better decision-making in all aspects of life. But another factor often gets less 23 despite being just as important: personality. In fact, studies consistently find that traits such as conscientiousness (the quality of being dependable and disciplined), emotional stability or agreeableness have a stronger link with 24 success, relationship durability and longevity than the links between those outcomes and someone’s intelligence or socio-economic background. Intuitively, this makes sense. Life isn’t just about knowing what you should do, or having the resources to do it, it’s about 25 . Being motivated and persistent is a huge help. It’s easy to imagine why the advantage of conscientiousness is growing over time. When contemporary daily life is full of 26 : from always-on mobile internet to irresistible foods, the ability to put long-term wellbeing ahead of short-term kicks becomes a superpower. Generative artificial intelligence could supercharge this 27 . An industrious student might use a large language model as a personal tutor to strengthen their knowledge of a concept; their less conscientious counterpart might 28 the same LLM with writing their essay, losing knowledge acquisition altogether. All this makes it frustrating that levels of conscientiousness in the population appear to be in decline, with a sustained fall especially pronounced among young adults. People in their twenties and thirties, 29 , report feeling increasingly easily distracted and careless, and less likely to make and deliver on commitments. While a full explanation of these shifts requires 30 investigation, smartphones and streaming services seem likely contributors. The sheer convenience of the online world makes real-life commitments feel chaotic and 31 , a mental burden the online world spares people. And the rise of time spent online and the attendant decline in face-to-face interactions enable behaviours such as “ghosting”. Collapsing conscientiousness is not the only visible personality shift. Neuroticism—a function of the much-discussed increase in anxiety—has 32 almost as much. While the classification of personality can feel unclear, the science is solid. Life is full of challenges. Less committed, less connected and more easily distressed people will 33 them less well. 34 , while the trends are undoubtedly troubling, we shouldn’t be fatalistic, because damaged personality can be rebuilt. Conscientiousness will separate those who just survive from those who thrive in the 21st century. We can each decide which half of that 35 we fall on—but ironically (讽刺地) that will take some dedication. 21．A．domains B．possessions C．relationships D．settings 22．A．obvious B．authoritative C．controversial D．trending 23．A．correspondence B．preference C．credit D．status 24．A．permanent B．financial C．corporate D．professional 25．A．thinking big B．following through C．starting out D．acting fast 26．A．technologies B．cuisines C．conveniences D．temptations 27．A．dynamic B．motive C．superpower D．resistance 28．A．task B．integrate C．switch D．stuff 29．A．by contrast B．as a result C．in particular D．above all 30．A．official B．thorough C．internal D．pilot 31．A．businesslike B．pointless C．autonomous D．effortful 32．A．advanced B．worsened C．risen D．persisted 33．A．navigate B．classify C．clarify D．investigate 34．A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Nevertheless D．Instead 35．A．divide B．survival C．personality D．trend 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) AUSTRALIAN adults want to see “life skills” introduced into school curriculums, including money management, job preparation and domestic tasks. New research from Monash University showed Aussie adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology, coding and artificial intelligence subjects to student curriculums to prepare them for future jobs. Co-author Professor Neil Selwyn, from Monash’s new Education Futures think tank, said the survey results of more than 2,000 Australians had taken himself and Dr Deana Leahy by surprise. “The life skills — I wasn’t expecting that at all,” he said. Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculum, but were also given an open space to write what they think should be included. Prof. Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills, budgeting, cooking and doing taxes. “You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves, or learning from their families,” Prof. Selwyn said. “But we’ve got to be thinking forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living.” One respondent said schools should introduce a “contemporary life skills” subject: “a compulsory 1-hour a week class on skills needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids.” Suggestions for the class included résumé writing, filing tax returns and health claims. Another respondent called for students to be taught “general life skills as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don’t know themselves”. Of the subjects, maths was the highest ranked (75.5 percent), followed closely by English (74.8 percent). And while science was the third highest ranked subject (46.2 percent), it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were university educated compared to lower income earners. Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun, learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative. 36．Why did the adults suggest adding “life skills” to school curriculums? A．To vary school curriculums. B．To enrich students’ school life. C．To prepare students for future work and life. D．To save parents the trouble of educating kids. 37．What did Prof. Selwyn think of the adults’ suggestions? A．Surprising. B．Ridiculous. C．Interesting. D．Impractical. 38．What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A．Differences of school subjects. B．Opinions from the surveyed. C．Reasons for the school survey. D．Investigations of the respondents. 39．What does the public support for science suggest? A．It is less vital than maths. B．It is mainly for the wealthy. C．It is losing its popularity. D．Its value is viewed differently.

D．The highlight of the tour is to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and discover the evidence that he used to untravel the origin of these landscapes in 1832 and 1841. (C) On the way to vacation, you’re jazzed and distracted: “Did I pack enough clothes?” “Did we turn off the heater?” The travel day goes by in a rush. Going home is another story. The same three-hour journey seems to drag on between layovers (中途停留), traffic and rest-stop food. How can one way feel so different from the other? Yonason Goldson, an author and ethicist, explains that when we travel to a new place, we tend to be in a more positive mindset. “There’s the expectation that something more exciting, interesting, new and fun is waiting for us,” he says. “That makes the trip part of the experience. By contrast, the trip home feels anticlimactic.” Another explanation is the oncoming weight of the post-vacation blues. As the saying goes, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” Perhaps time crawls when you’re depressed. However, the return trip doesn’t always feel longer. In fact, some people find the way to the destination even more exhausting. Psychiatrist Gary Small relates it to the “return trip effect,” which argues that the first leg of a trip (outward journey) can feel longer because we tend to underestimate how long it will take. We may guess the way there will go by quicker than it does, which leads to a sudden reality check. By the return trip, as we’ ve gotten to know the route, it feels less challenging. However, this effect usually occurs when we’ re traveling somewhere for the first time. If we travel a familiar route, the return trip may instead feel longer. Small recommends introducing some novelty into the trip home to help pass the time. This can include doing puzzles, engaging in conversations or taking different routes to challenge your mind. In addition, you can change how you travel altogether. Susan Sherren, founder of a travel agency, encourages clients to plan trips with a “bell curve” itinerary (行程): easing into the vacation, building up to the exciting, action-packed days, then slowing down before it’s over. In this way, you’ re not left feeling exhausted. You can also plan enjoyable activities to look forward to when you get home to soften a crash landing back into your normal routine. 43．What does the underlined word “anticlimactic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Exciting and predictable. B．Routine yet comforting. C．Adventurous but exhausting. D．Disappointing and less dramatic. 44．What can be learned from Paragraph 4? A．A sudden reality check results in a longer return journey. B．The outward journey appears shorter due to predictable time. C．The return journey from a first-time destination feels shorter. D．Route familiarity makes the outward journey seemingly shorter. 45．Susan Sherren’s “bell curve” itinerary helps clients to________. A．come back home on schedule B．readjust to the rhythms of daily life C．have chances for thrilling experiences D．extend the vacation without extra costs 46．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Does the Return Trip Lack Novelty? B．What Causes Exhaustion in Return Trip? C．How Can We Improve Travel Experience? D．Does Travel Feel Longer on the Way Home? Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Managing Teams in a World Built for Individuals People in organisations have always worked with others, but the emphasis on teams is now greater than before. Technology has made the sharing of ideas and information easier, while a mix of remote and office work has increased the need for teamwork. Studies suggest that people often feel more attached to their work group than to their organisation, which shows how important teams have become for motivation and performance. 47 Recruitment (招聘) processes usually highlight the achievements of individuals rather than the collectives they have taken part in. Performance reviews, too, remain largely a one-player sport, with bonuses and targets tied to personal outputs instead of shared goals. Many bosses do not even know what most of their team members spend their time on. Research has shown that managers could not recall around 60% of the work their teams carried out. This lack of visibility makes it difficult to measure contributions fairly. Concerns also arise about rewards. 48 At the same time, diligent workers might feel unfairly treated. On the other hand, focusing only on individual results can discourage cooperation and weaken trust among coworkers. Balancing personal and group rewards is therefore a pressing challenge for managers. Even so, some research points to positive outcomes when group rewards are used wisely. A study of a manufacturing firm found that introducing team-based bonuses did not encourage free-riding, as many had feared. 49 Other studies have underlined the role of “psychological safety,” the feeling that people can speak their minds without fear, as a vital element of effective teamwork. 50 But if organisations recognise that teams are where much of the real progress happens, they will need to find better ways of understanding, supporting and rewarding collective work. A．Employees are, of course, individuals. B．Instead, it brought about a leap in performance, motivating existing staff to become more efficient and attracting productive new hires. C．Rather, it created deep dissatisfaction within the team, which slowly undermined cooperation and damaged the overall group spirit. D．There are good reasons for much of this.

IV.Summary Writing 51．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. More Than a Game: How Play Shapes Our Social Brains Play is universal. Every culture in the world plays, and for more than a century, doctors have used play to bring comfort and help people recover from pain. Scientists now know that play also shapes the brain itself, influencing how animals — including humans — learn, think, and connect with others. In the 1960s, neuroscientist Marian Diamond proved this through studies with rats. One group grew up in cages full of toys and other rats to spend time with; another lived alone in simple metal cages with nothing to explore. When she later examined their brains, she found clear differences. The first group developed larger and more complex brains, with richer chemical activity. Diamond showed that it was not only toys or playmates, but the combination of both, that made the difference. Because she worked in a time when few women were accepted in science, she often used the safer word “enrichment” instead of “play.” But in truth, what those rats were doing was exactly that — playing. Later, neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp continued Diamond’s work. While studying emotion and attachment in rats, he noticed how they would bounce, chase, and fight with one another for pure joy. “When you put them together — bang They play,” he said. When kept alone, the rats became depressed, almost as if they were hungry or thirsty. Panksepp realized that play is a basic need, not just a pleasure. He even discovered that rats make tiny sounds — something like laughter — when they are enjoying themselves. When he removed part of their higher brain area, they still played almost normally. This showed that play comes from a deep and ancient part of the brain, one linked to emotion, learning, and survival. Thanks to Diamond and Panksepp, scientists now see play as much more than fun. It helps build the social brain, teaching us to notice others, share, and cooperate. As Panksepp said, “Play allows us to stop, look, listen, and feel the more subtle social pulse around us.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．公司安排了一辆车去机场接他。(arrange) 53．显而易见，这个地区的人随时能吃到新鲜的乳制品。（available） 54．在市长和相关各方的共同努力下，这个历史悠久的街区将在明年焕然一新。（take） 55．一系列先进软硬件的引入，再加上大数据的助力，不仅让消费者买菜更便捷舒心，更提升了市场管理效率。（while） VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 56.Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese 56．假设你是明启中学高中学生李华，学过编程。你的外国笔友Kevin在选修编程课程时犹豫不决，两位教师授课内容相同但课程各有特点(如下表所示)，他想听取你的意见，给Kevin写一封电子邮件，在邮件中你必须： 1. 推荐一门课程； 2. 通过比较，说明理由。 课程A 课程B 教学方法 围绕具体问题组织教学活动 由易到难接受知识、技能 授课方式 线下 线上+线下 评价方式 期末考试 课堂表现+作业+期末考试 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 16 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上海市普通高校春季高考英语仿真模拟卷04（上海专用） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：140分） I.

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. Finnish architect observes city’s shifting rhythms Almost every day, Finnish architect Jarmo Suominen rides his bike through Shanghai — not toward a destination, but into the city’s rhythm. He carries no map. Beneath clotheslines and tangled wires, he stops to observe and sketch. For Suominen, a professor at Tongji University, curiosity fuels both his work and life. His students call him Sou Sou, meaning “search” — a nickname 1 reflects his constant exploration. His bike rides are a form of engagement — a way to witness 2 people and places interact. “In Shanghai, you never know what you’ll find,” he told Shanghai Daily. “You turn down an alley (小巷子) and suddenly you’re in a hidden garden behind a dead-end. People create these little worlds. It’s amazing.” He values Shanghai’s “sensitive renewal,” a process 3 (drive) as much by residents as by government departments. “The street is 4 life happens,” he said. “The government might renovate facades (外立面), but inside, people make small, gradual upgrades. It’s not about replacing everything, but about letting people shape their future.” One of his favorite examples is a car repair shop near his home. “Every night, it transforms into a nightclub 5 talks, performances and movie screenings. It wasn’t designed to be one — it just became one.” For Suominen, the street is a canvas, always evolving with the people inhabiting it. A man playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores (梧桐树) 6 (become), through his eyes, a sign of constant transformation. “The soul of a place,” he said, “isn’t in the architecture. It’s in the life around 7 : the feeling that you’re welcome, _______ ___8_ you’re a stranger.” Suominen has filled more than 20 sketchbooks with these scenes, each 9 (reveal) the dynamic interplay between people and space. “In older neighborhoods, you see lives spilling into the streets — something unique to China, especially Shanghai,” he added. “In Finland, where the cold keeps people inside, you 10 hardly observe people’s values and habits in the same way.” 【答案】 1．that/which 2．how 3．driven 4．where 5．with 6．has become/becomes 7．it 8．even if/even though 9．revealing 10．can 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了芬兰建筑师在上海的观察与感悟。 1．考查定语从句。句意：他的学生称他为“搜搜”，意思是“寻找”——这个昵称反映了他不断的探索。本空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是a nickname，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which/that引导。故填which/that。 2．考查宾语从句。句意：他的自行车骑行是一种参与的方式——一种见证人与地方如何互动的方式。本空引导宾语从句，表示“如何”，用连接副词how引导。故填how。 3．考查非谓语动词。句意：他重视上海的“敏感更新”，这是一个由居民和政府部门共同推动的过程。本句已有谓语values，本空用非谓语形式，名词process和动词drive“推动”是逻辑动宾关系，用过去分词表被动，作后置定语。故填driven。 4．考查表语从句。句意：“街道是生活发生的地方，”他说。本空引导表语从句，从句中缺少地点状语，表示 “……之处”，用连接副词where引导。故填where。 5．考查介词。句意：每天晚上，它都会变成一个夜总会，有谈话、表演和电影放映。此处表示“有”，用介词with。故填with。 6．考查时态。句意：在小巷里吹萨克斯的人或梧桐树下的棋局，在他眼里，都是不断变化的标志。本句描述一般事实，时态用一般现在时，主语A man playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores是第三人称单数，谓语用第三人称单数形式becomes。或者：从句描述过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，时态应用现在完成时，谓语用has become，故填has become或becomes。 7．考查代词。句意：“一个地方的灵魂，”他说，“不在于建筑，而在于周围的生活：那种即使你是陌生人也会感到受欢迎的感觉。”此处指代上文提到的a place，用代词it。故填it。 8．考查让步状语从句。句意同上。本空引导让步状语从句，表示“即使”，用even if或even though。故填even if/even though。 9．考查非谓语动词。句意：Suominen已经用这些场景填满了20多本素描本，每一本都揭示了人与空间之间的动态互动。本句已有谓语has filled，本空用非谓语形式，each指代上文提到的sketchbooks，和动词reveal“揭示”是逻辑主谓关系，用现在分词。故填revealing。 10．考查情态动词。句意：在芬兰，寒冷让人们待在室内，你几乎不可能以同样的方式观察到人们的价值观和习惯。根据“where the cold keeps people inside”可知，此处表示几乎不“可能”，用情态动词can。故填can。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

After all, kids are endlessly curious, and part of the fun is seeing the 11 on their faces as they learn about even simple objects and ideas. Yet over time parents may find that their child is becoming less interested in exploring the world around them and less likely to investigate the 12 “why” of things — that is, less curious about science. Why does this 13 happen? There are, of course, a number of different factors at play, but researchers have found: this loss of interest may be 14 the result of subtle language cues children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from media kids consume or from schoolteachers or curricula. All youngsters can do science, but over time they begin to think of being a scientist as something 15 for only certain kinds of kids. However, there are some steps you can take to keep the curiosity alive and the science 16 . When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today” or “You’re such a good scientist” But this kind of language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than a set of activities and actions that people do, can be demotivating. One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might be calling to mind a (white) man. If they don’t share that identity, they might 17 from an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical belief emerges surprisingly early and has 18 effects such that by high school, girls who are at the 80th percentile (百分位) of science ability have the same likelihood of majoring in certain STEM fields as boys in the lowest percentile. The good news is that subtle linguistic cues can be employed to promote engagement with science in surprisingly powerful ways. In one study, students whose teachers used more action-focused language (such as “Let’s do science”) 19 longer in a novel science game than students whose teachers used more identity-focused language. But it’s also true that during adolescence, your kids are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its 20 effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In one study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades. 【答案】 11．K 12．J 13．I 14．F 15．H 16．D 17．C 18．A 19．G 20．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，探讨语言如何影响孩子对科学的兴趣，分析不同语言提示的作用及家长可采取的保持孩子好奇心的方法。 11．考查名词。句意：毕竟，孩子们有着无尽的好奇心，其中的乐趣之一就是看到他们在了解甚至简单的事物和想法时，脸上露出惊奇的表情。空格处需填名词，作seeing的宾语，结合“kids are endlessly curious”可知，孩子了解新事物时脸上会有惊奇的表情，wonder意为“惊奇，惊叹”，符合语境。故选K。 12．考查形容词。句意：然而，随着时间的推移，父母可能会发现他们的孩子对探索周围世界的兴趣越来越小，也不太可能去探究事物深层的“为什么”——也就是说，对科学的好奇心越来越小。空格处需填形容词作定语修饰“why”，underlying意为“潜在的，深层的”，“the underlying “why” of things”表示“事物深层的‘为什么’”，符合“探究事物本质原因”的语境。故选J。 13．考查名词。句意：这种转变为什么会发生？空格处需填名词，作主语，前文提到孩子从“充满好奇心”到“对科学好奇心减弱”的变化，shift意为“转变，变化”，指代这种兴趣上的转变，符合语境。故选I。 14．考查副词。句意：当然，有很多不同的因素在起作用，但研究人员发现：这种兴趣的丧失可能部分是孩子听到的微妙语言提示导致的结果。空格处需填副词修饰be动词，partly意为“部分地”，结合“a number of different factors at play”可知，说明语言提示是部分原因，符合逻辑。故选F。 15．考查形容词。句意：所有的孩子都能学习科学，但随着时间的推移，他们开始认为成为科学家是只有特定类型的孩子才享有的特权。空格处需填形容词，作something的后置定语，reserved意为“专留的，预订的”，“something reserved for only certain kinds of kids”表示“只有特定类型孩子才享有的事物”，符合孩子对“科学家身份”的刻板认知。故选H。 16．考查非谓语动词。句意：不过，你可以采取一些措施来保持好奇心，让科学（探索）继续下去。空格处需填非谓语动词作宾补，与keep构成“keep sth. doing”结构。flowing意为“流动，持续”，“keep the science flowing”表示“让科学（探索）继续下去”，符合“保持对科学兴趣”的语境。故选D。 17．考查动词。句意：如果他们没有这种身份认同，他们可能会退出为“科学家”设计的活动。空格处需填动词，与might构成谓语，结合“don’t share that identity”可知，孩子可能会脱离相关活动，disengage意为“脱离，退出”，“disengage from an activity”表示“退出一项活动”，符合语境。故选C。 18．考查形容词。句意：这种刻板印象出现得惊人地早，并且有着累积效应，以至于到了高中，科学能力处于第80百分位的女孩在某些STEM领域主修的可能性，与处于最低百分位的男孩相同。空格处需填形容词作定语修饰effects，结合“by high school”可知，这种刻板印象的影响是逐渐积累的，accumulative意为“累积的”，“accumulative effects”表示“累积效应”，符合语境。故选A。 19．考查动词。句意：在一项研究中，那些老师使用更多以行动为重点的语言（如“让我们做科学吧”）的学生，在一款新颖的科学游戏中坚持的时间比那些老师使用更多以身份为重点的语言的学生更长。空格处需填动词作谓语，结合“longer in a novel science game”可知，此处指学生在游戏中坚持更久，persisted意为“坚持，持续”，符合语境。故选G。 20．考查形容词。句意：但同样真实的是，在青春期，你的孩子正在积极尝试并最终形成自己不同的身份。因此，与其对幼儿产生的消极影响相反，以身份为重点的语言可能有助于青少年保持对科学的兴趣。空格处需填形容词作定语修饰effects，结合“in contrast to”可知，前文提到以身份为重点的语言对幼儿有消极影响，此处与对青少年的积极作用对比，discouraging意为“使人气馁的，消极的”，符合语境。故选B。 III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2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 A critical life skill is fading out — and especially fast among young adults. What are the key characteristics that shape the length and quality of our careers, 21 and lives more broadly? The socio-economic environment we grow up in certainly has a substantial influence. Cognitive (认知的) abilities are another 22 one: they enable better decision-making in all aspects of life. But another factor often gets less 23 despite being just as important: personality. In fact, studies consistently find that traits such as conscientiousness (the quality of being dependable and disciplined), emotional stability or agreeableness have a stronger link with 24 success, relationship durability and longevity than the links between those outcomes and someone’s intelligence or socio-economic background. Intuitively, this makes sense. Life isn’t just about knowing what you should do, or having the resources to do it, it’s about 25 . Being motivated and persistent is a huge help. It’s easy to imagine why the advantage of conscientiousness is growing over time. When contemporary daily life is full of 26 : from always-on mobile internet to irresistible foods, the ability to put long-term wellbeing ahead of short-term kicks becomes a superpower. Generative artificial intelligence could supercharge this 27 . An industrious student might use a large language model as a personal tutor to strengthen their knowledge of a concept; their less conscientious counterpart might 28 the same LLM with writing their essay, losing knowledge acquisition altogether. All this makes it frustrating that levels of conscientiousness in the population appear to be in decline, with a sustained fall especially pronounced among young adults. People in their twenties and thirties, 29 , report feeling increasingly easily distracted and careless, and less likely to make and deliver on commitments. While a full explanation of these shifts requires 30 investigation, smartphones and streaming services seem likely contributors. The sheer convenience of the online world makes real-life commitments feel chaotic and 31 , a mental burden the online world spares people. And the rise of time spent online and the attendant decline in face-to-face interactions enable behaviours such as “ghosting”. Collapsing conscientiousness is not the only visible personality shift. Neuroticism—a function of the much-discussed increase in anxiety—has 32 almost as much. While the classification of personality can feel unclear, the science is solid. Life is full of challenges. Less committed, less connected and more easily distressed people will 33 them less well. 34 , while the trends are undoubtedly troubling, we shouldn’t be fatalistic, because damaged personality can be rebuilt. Conscientiousness will separate those who just survive from those who thrive in the 21st century. We can each decide which half of that 35 we fall on—but ironically (讽刺地) that will take some dedication. 21．A．domains B．possessions C．relationships D．settings 22．A．obvious B．authoritative C．controversial D．trending 23．A．correspondence B．preference C．credit D．status 24．A．permanent B．financial C．corporate D．professional 25．A．thinking big B．following through C．starting out D．acting fast 26．A．technologies B．cuisines C．conveniences D．temptations 27．A．dynamic B．motive C．superpower D．resistance 28．A．task B．integrate C．switch D．stuff 29．A．by contrast B．as a result C．in particular D．above all 30．A．official B．thorough C．internal D．pilot 31．A．businesslike B．pointless C．autonomous D．effortful 32．A．advanced B．worsened C．risen D．persisted 33．A．navigate B．classify C．clarify D．investigate 34．A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Nevertheless D．Instead 35．A．divide B．survival C．personality D．trend 【答案】 21．C 22．A 23．C 24．D 25．B 26．D 27．C 28．D 29．C 30．B 31．D 32．C 33．A 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出“尽责性”这一关键人格特质正在衰退，尤其在年轻群体中尤为明显。 21．考查名词词义辨析。句意：塑造我们职业生涯的长度与质量、人际关系的广度与深度，乃至更广阔人生境遇的关键特质是什么？A. domains领域；B. possessions财产；C. relationships人际关系；D. settings环境。根据下文“relationship durability”可知，这里作者认为影响职业、人际交往和生活的因素有很多。故选C项。 22．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：认知能力是另一个显而易见的因素：它让我们在生活中各方面做出更优决策。A. obvious显而易见的；B. authoritative权威的；C. controversial有争议的；D. trending流行的。根据下文“they enable better decision-making in all aspects of life”可知，认知能力的重要性“显而易见”。故选A项。 23．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但有一个同样重要却常被忽视的因素——人格。A. correspondence通信；B. preference偏好；C. credit信誉，认可；D. status地位。根据下文“just as important”可知，人格也很重要，但是没有引起足够重视。get less credit意为“未获足够认可，被忽视了”。故选C项。 24．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：研究一致发现，尽责性、情绪稳定性、宜人性等特质与职业成功、关系持久度乃至寿命的关联，比智力或社会经济背景更强。A. permanent永久的；B. financial财务的；C. corporate公司的；D. professional职业的。根据上文“quality of our careers”可知，作者一直都在讨论“职业”上的成功。故选D项。 25．考查动词短语辨析。句意：生活不仅在于知道该做什么、有资源去做，更在于坚持到底。A. thinking big胸怀大志；B. following through坚持到底；C. starting out起步；D. acting fast快速行动。根据上文“knowing what you should do”和后文“Being motivated and persistent is a huge help.”可知，光是知道做什么还不够，还得坚持做下去，符合语境。故选B项。 26．考查名词词义辨析。句意：当当代日常生活充满诱惑时：从永远在线的移动互联网到不可抗拒的食物，将长期健康置于短期刺激之前的能力成为一种超能力。A. technologies技术；B. cuisines美食；C. conveniences便利；D. temptations诱惑。根据后文“irresistible foods”等可知，生活中充满了“诱惑”。故选D项。 27．考查名词词义辨析。句意：生成式人工智能可能放大这种超能力。A. dynamic动力；B. motive动机；C. superpower超能力；D. resistance抵抗。根据上文“the ability to put long-term wellbeing ahead of short-term kicks becomes a superpower”可知，生成式人工智能放大这种超能力。故选C项。 28．考查动词词义辨析。句意：而不够尽责的学生却可能把任务甩给模型代写论文，彻底失去知识获取。A. task派任务；B. integrate整合；C. switch切换；D. stuff塞满。根据下文“the same LLM with writing their essay”可知，对比两种学生：勤学者用AI辅助学习，懒散者“塞给”AI代写作业。故选D项。 29．考查介词短语辨析。句意：二三十岁的人尤其表示自己更易分心、更粗心，也更难兑现承诺。A. by contrast对比之下；B. as a result因此；C. in particular尤其；D. above all首要。根据下文“report feeling increasingly easily distracted and careless”可知，这里强调年轻群体，用“尤其”。故选C项。 30．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：尽管完整解释尚需深入研究，智能手机与流媒体服务很可能是推手。A. official官方的；B. thorough彻底的；C. internal内部的；D. pilot试点的。根据下文“smartphones and streaming services seem likely contributors”可知，作者在这里探究原因，也就是需要“深入”研究。故选B项。 31．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：线上世界的极度便利让现实承诺显得混乱又费力——线上世界却免除了这种心理负担。A. businesslike高效的；B. pointless无意义的；C. autonomous自主的；D. effortful费力的。根据上文“chaotic and”可知，空格和chaotic（混乱的）相一致，说明现实承诺“费力”。故选D项。 32．考查动词词义辨析。句意：神经质（焦虑上升的体现）也几乎同幅度上升。A. advanced推进；B. worsened恶化；C. risen上升；D. persisted持续。根据上文“increase in anxiety”可知，焦虑增加即“上升”。故选C项。 33．考查动词词义辨析。句意：更易分心、更少承诺的人也较难应对挑战。A. navigate应对；B. classify分类；C. clarify澄清；D. investigate调查。根据上文“full of challenges”可知，面对挑战，就需要应对挑战，“navigate challenges”为固定搭配，符合语境。故选A项。 34．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，尽管趋势令人担忧，我们不应认命，因为受损的人格可以重建。A.

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) AUSTRALIAN adults want to see “life skills” introduced into school curriculums, including money management, job preparation and domestic tasks. New research from Monash University showed Aussie adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology, coding and artificial intelligence subjects to student curriculums to prepare them for future jobs. Co-author Professor Neil Selwyn, from Monash’s new Education Futures think tank, said the survey results of more than 2,000 Australians had taken himself and Dr Deana Leahy by surprise. “The life skills — I wasn’t expecting that at all,” he said. Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculum, but were also given an open space to write what they think should be included. Prof. Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills, budgeting, cooking and doing taxes. “You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves, or learning from their families,” Prof. Selwyn said. “But we’ve got to be thinking forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living.” One respondent said schools should introduce a “contemporary life skills” subject: “a compulsory 1-hour a week class on skills needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids.” Suggestions for the class included résumé writing, filing tax returns and health claims. Another respondent called for students to be taught “general life skills as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don’t know themselves”. Of the subjects, maths was the highest ranked (75.5 percent), followed closely by English (74.8 percent). And while science was the third highest ranked subject (46.2 percent), it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were university educated compared to lower income earners. Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun, learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative. 36．Why did the adults suggest adding “life skills” to school curriculums? A．To vary school curriculums. B．To enrich students’ school life. C．To prepare students for future work and life. D．To save parents the trouble of educating kids. 37．What did Prof. Selwyn think of the adults’ suggestions? A．Surprising. B．Ridiculous. C．Interesting. D．Impractical. 38．What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A．Differences of school subjects. B．Opinions from the surveyed. C．Reasons for the school survey. D．Investigations of the respondents. 39．What does the public support for science suggest? A．It is less vital than maths. B．It is mainly for the wealthy. C．It is losing its popularity.

You should bring warm and waterproof clothing.(这里是威尔士，很可能会下雨，所以请做好准备。你应该带上保暖和防水的衣服。)”可知，旅行中需要防水徒步鞋、雨衣和保暖衣物，不需要泳镜。故选B。 41．细节理解题。根据图片下方第二行“5 May and 1 September 2025 — 6 days for £3,445 per person(2025年5月5日及9月1日——6天，每人3445英镑)”以及WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED部分中“Single supplement-£399(单人间差价-399英镑)”可知，5月5日出发，单人参加且不想分享房间的总费用是3445+399=3844英镑。故选B。 42．细节理解题。根据WHAT’S INCLUDED部分中“·The services of your tour experts, who will be with the group throughout the tour, providing pre- visit briefings, walking seminars and will be available to answer questions.(·旅游专家的服务，他们将在整个旅行过程中与团队在一起，提供参观前的情况介绍、步行研讨会，并将随时回答问题。)”、“·A tour leader, who will attend to logistical matters, oversee the group’s health and safety and assist participants with their queries.(·一名导游，负责处理后勤事务，监督团队的健康和安全，并协助参与者解决疑问。)”、“·All transportation costs from the start to the end of the tour, including the services of a professional coach driver.(·从旅行开始到结束的所有交通费用，包括专业客车司机的服务。)”、“·All accommodation costs for the nights stated.(·所列晚上的所有住宿费用。)”、“·All breakfasts and lunches, and five dinners.（·所有早餐和午餐，以及五顿晚餐。）”、“·Entry fees, local guide fees and activity fees, where arranged as part of the tour.(·入场费、当地导游费和活动费，如果作为旅行的一部分安排的话。)”、“·Most gratuities (小费) and all service charges.(·大多数小费和所有服务费。)”可知，这次旅行包括旅游专家的服务、一名导游的服务、交通费用、住宿费用、大多数餐食、入场费、当地导游费和大多数小费。故选C。 (C) On the way to vacation, you’re jazzed and distracted: “Did I pack enough clothes?” “Did we turn off the heater?” The travel day goes by in a rush. Going home is another story. The same three-hour journey seems to drag on between layovers (中途停留), traffic and rest-stop food. How can one way feel so different from the other? Yonason Goldson, an author and ethicist, explains that when we travel to a new place, we tend to be in a more positive mindset. “There’s the expectation that something more exciting, interesting, new and fun is waiting for us,” he says. “That makes the trip part of the experience. By contrast, the trip home feels anticlimactic.” Another explanation is the oncoming weight of the post-vacation blues. As the saying goes, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” Perhaps time crawls when you’re depressed. However, the return trip doesn’t always feel longer. In fact, some people find the way to the destination even more exhausting. Psychiatrist Gary Small relates it to the “return trip effect,” which argues that the first leg of a trip (outward journey) can feel longer because we tend to underestimate how long it will take. We may guess the way there will go by quicker than it does, which leads to a sudden reality check. By the return trip, as we’ ve gotten to know the route, it feels less challenging. However, this effect usually occurs when we’ re traveling somewhere for the first time. If we travel a familiar route, the return trip may instead feel longer. Small recommends introducing some novelty into the trip home to help pass the time. This can include doing puzzles, engaging in conversations or taking different routes to challenge your mind. In addition, you can change how you travel altogether. Susan Sherren, founder of a travel agency, encourages clients to plan trips with a “bell curve” itinerary (行程): easing into the vacation, building up to the exciting, action-packed days, then slowing down before it’s over. In this way, you’ re not left feeling exhausted. You can also plan enjoyable activities to look forward to when you get home to soften a crash landing back into your normal routine. 43．What does the underlined word “anticlimactic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Exciting and predictable. B．Routine yet comforting. C．Adventurous but exhausting. D．Disappointing and less dramatic. 44．What can be learned from Paragraph 4? A．A sudden reality check results in a longer return journey. B．The outward journey appears shorter due to predictable time. C．The return journey from a first-time destination feels shorter. D．Route familiarity makes the outward journey seemingly shorter. 45．Susan Sherren’s “bell curve” itinerary helps clients to________. A．come back home on schedule B．readjust to the rhythms of daily life C．have chances for thrilling experiences D．extend the vacation without extra costs 46．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Does the Return Trip Lack Novelty? B．What Causes Exhaustion in Return Trip? C．How Can We Improve Travel Experience? D．Does Travel Feel Longer on the Way Home? 【答案】43．D 44．C 45．B 46．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了为何返程旅程与去程相比会感觉不同，并给出了一些应对方法。 43．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Yonason Goldson, an author and ethicist, explains that when we travel to a new place, we tend to be in a more positive mindset. “There’s the expectation that something more exciting, interesting, new and fun is waiting for us,” he says. “That makes the trip part of the experience. By contrast, the trip home feels anticlimactic.”(作家兼伦理学家Yonason Goldson解释说，当我们去一个新的地方旅行时，我们往往会处于一种更积极的心态。“我们期待着会有更令人兴奋、有趣、新鲜和有趣的事情等着我们，”他说。“这使旅行成为体验的一部分。相比之下，回家的旅程感觉anticlimactic。”)”可知，与去新地方旅行时的兴奋期待相比，回家之旅没有那么令人激动，是有些让人扫兴，anticlimactic意思是“令人失望的，不够精彩的”。D选项“Disappointing and less dramatic.(令人失望且缺乏戏剧性。)”与划线词意思相近。故选D。 44．细节理解题。根据第四段“However, the return trip doesn’t always feel longer. In fact, some people find the way to the destination even more exhausting. Psychiatrist Gary Small relates it to the “return trip effect,” which argues that the first leg of a trip (outward journey) can feel longer because we tend to underestimate how long it will take.

However, this effect usually occurs when we’ re traveling somewhere for the first time. If we travel a familiar route, the return trip may instead feel longer.(然而，返程并不总是感觉更长。事实上，有些人发现去目的地的路更让人疲惫。精神病学家Gary Small将其与“返程效应”联系起来，该效应认为，旅程的第一段（去程）可能会感觉更长，因为我们往往会低估所需的时间。我们可能会猜测去那里的路比实际走得更快，从而突然被现实敲醒。到了返程时，由于我们已经熟悉了路线，感觉就不那么有挑战性了。然而，这种效应通常发生在我们第一次去某个地方旅行时。如果我们走一条熟悉的路线，返程可能会感觉更长)”可知，去首次前往的目的地时，返程会感觉更短。故选C。 45．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Susan Sherren, founder of a travel agency, encourages clients to plan trips with a “bell curve” itinerary (行程): easing into the vacation, building up to the exciting, action-packed days. then slowing down before it’s over. In this way, you’ re not left feeling exhausted. You can also plan enjoyable activities to look forward to when you get home to soften a crash landing back into your normal routine. (旅行社创始人Susan Sherren鼓励客户规划“钟形曲线”行程：轻松进入假期，逐渐过渡到充满刺激和活动的日子，然后在假期结束前放慢脚步。这样，你就不会感到筋疲力尽。你还可以计划一些有趣的活动，期待回家后能软着陆，重新回到你的日常生活)”可知，Susan Sherren的“钟形曲线”行程帮助客户重新适应日常生活的节奏。故选B。 46．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“On the way to vacation, you’re jazzed and distracted: “Did I pack enough clothes?” “Did we turn off the heater?” The travel day goes by in a rush. Going home is another story. The same three-hour journey seems to drag on between layovers (中途停留), traffic and rest-stop food. How can one way feel so different from the other? (在去度假的路上，你既兴奋又分心：“我带了足够的衣服吗？”“我们关掉加热器了吗？”旅行日匆匆而过。回家是另一回事。同样的三个小时的旅程，在中途停留、交通和休息站的食物之间似乎漫长无比。为什么一种方式会给另一种方式带来如此不同的感觉？)”可知，文章主要探讨了为何返程旅程与去程相比会感觉不同，并给出了一些应对方法。可知，D选项“Does Travel Feel Longer on the Way Home?(回家的路上旅行感觉更久吗？)”最符合文章标题。故选D。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Managing Teams in a World Built for Individuals People in organisations have always worked with others, but the emphasis on teams is now greater than before. Technology has made the sharing of ideas and information easier, while a mix of remote and office work has increased the need for teamwork. Studies suggest that people often feel more attached to their work group than to their organisation, which shows how important teams have become for motivation and performance. 47 Recruitment (招聘) processes usually highlight the achievements of individuals rather than the collectives they have taken part in. Performance reviews, too, remain largely a one-player sport, with bonuses and targets tied to personal outputs instead of shared goals. Many bosses do not even know what most of their team members spend their time on. Research has shown that managers could not recall around 60% of the work their teams carried out. This lack of visibility makes it difficult to measure contributions fairly. Concerns also arise about rewards. 48 At the same time, diligent workers might feel unfairly treated. On the other hand, focusing only on individual results can discourage cooperation and weaken trust among coworkers. Balancing personal and group rewards is therefore a pressing challenge for managers. Even so, some research points to positive outcomes when group rewards are used wisely. A study of a manufacturing firm found that introducing team-based bonuses did not encourage free-riding, as many had feared. 49 Other studies have underlined the role of “psychological safety,” the feeling that people can speak their minds without fear, as a vital element of effective teamwork. 50 But if organisations recognise that teams are where much of the real progress happens, they will need to find better ways of understanding, supporting and rewarding collective work. A．Employees are, of course, individuals. B．Instead, it brought about a leap in performance, motivating existing staff to become more efficient and attracting productive new hires. C．Rather, it created deep dissatisfaction within the team, which slowly undermined cooperation and damaged the overall group spirit. D．There are good reasons for much of this. E．When recognition is based on team performance, some members may take credit without contributing enough. F．Yet the way organisations are managed has not fully caught up. 【答案】47．F 48．E 49．B 50．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是在个体导向盛行的世界中，如何有效管理团队以实现组织目标。 47．文章开头“People in organisations have always worked with others, but the emphasis on teams is now greater than before.(组织中的人们一直都需要与他人协作，但如今对团队的重视程度比以往更高。)”说明如今对团队的重视程度比以往更高，空后“Recruitment (招聘) processes usually highlight the achievements of individuals rather than the collectives they have taken part in. Performance reviews, too, remain largely a one-player sport, with bonuses and targets tied to personal outputs instead of shared goals. Many bosses do not even know what most of their team members spend their time on.(招聘流程通常强调的是个人的成就，而非其参与过的集体成果。绩效评估在很大程度上也仍是一场“单人竞技”，奖金和目标都与个人产出挂钩，而非共同目标。许多老板甚至不清楚团队成员的大部分时间都花在了什么工作上。)”却说在组织中兵没有多少团队合作，F选项“Yet the way organisations are managed has not fully caught up.(然而，组织的管理方式并没有完全跟上。)”说明了现在组织的管理方式没有跟上，承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 48．本段主旨句是“Concerns also arise about rewards.(奖励分配方面也引发了诸多担忧。)”，空后“At the same time, diligent workers might feel unfairly treated.(与此同时，勤勉尽责的员工可能会感到自己受到了不公平对待。)”说明勤劳的员工可能会受到不公平对待，因此空格处应该说不勤劳的反而得到了奖励，E选项“When recognition is based on team performance, some members may take credit without contributing enough.(当认可是基于团队表现时，一些成员可能没有做出足够的贡献就获得了荣誉。)”说明有的没有做出足够贡献的人获得荣誉，承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 49．空前“A study of a manufacturing firm found that introducing team-based bonuses did not encourage free-riding, as many had feared.(一项针对一家制造企业的研究发现，引入团队奖金制度并未像许多人担心的那样助长“搭便车”行为。)”说明引入团队奖金制度并未像许多人担心的那样助长“搭便车”行为，空格处应该说反而这样的做法引起了什么后果，B选项“Instead, it brought about a leap in performance, motivating existing staff to become more efficient and attracting productive new hires.(相反，它带来了绩效的飞跃，激励现有员工提高效率，并吸引了高效的新员工加入。)”中的Instead表示“相反”，说明了和前文相反的后果，承接上文，符合语境。故选B。 50．空后“But if organisations recognise that teams are where much of the real progress happens, they will need to find better ways of understanding, supporting and rewarding collective work.(但倘若组织能够认识到，真正的进步大多源自团队，那么它们就需要找到更优方式，来理解、支持并奖励集体工作。)”说明了真正的进步大多源自团队，组织需要找到更优方式，来理解、支持并奖励集体工作，其中but表转折，空格处应该要强调团队中的个体，A选项“Employees are, of course, individuals.(当然，员工是个体。)”说明了员工是个体，和后文突出团体相反，因此引起下文，符合语境。故选A。 IV.Summary Writing 51．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. More Than a Game: How Play Shapes Our Social Brains Play is universal. Every culture in the world plays, and for more than a century, doctors have used play to bring comfort and help people recover from pain. Scientists now know that play also shapes the brain itself, influencing how animals — including humans — learn, think, and connect with others. In the 1960s, neuroscientist Marian Diamond proved this through studies with rats. One group grew up in cages full of toys and other rats to spend time with; another lived alone in simple metal cages with nothing to explore. When she later examined their brains, she found clear differences. The first group developed larger and more complex brains, with richer chemical activity. Diamond showed that it was not only toys or playmates, but the combination of both, that made the difference. Because she worked in a time when few women were accepted in science, she often used the safer word “enrichment” instead of “play.” But in truth, what those rats were doing was exactly that — playing. Later, neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp continued Diamond’s work. While studying emotion and attachment in rats, he noticed how they would bounce, chase, and fight with one another for pure joy. “When you put them together — bang They play,” he said. When kept alone, the rats became depressed, almost as if they were hungry or thirsty. Panksepp realized that play is a basic need, not just a pleasure. He even discovered that rats make tiny sounds — something like laughter — when they are enjoying themselves. When he removed part of their higher brain area, they still played almost normally. This showed that play comes from a deep and ancient part of the brain, one linked to emotion, learning, and survival. Thanks to Diamond and Panksepp, scientists now see play as much more than fun. It helps build the social brain, teaching us to notice others, share, and cooperate. As Panksepp said, “Play allows us to stop, look, listen, and feel the more subtle social pulse around us.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Scientific research reveals that play is crucial for brain development and social bonding. Marian Diamond demonstrated that enriched environments with toys and companions produced larger, more complex brains in rats. Jaak Panksepp further identified play as a fundamental need originating in deep brain regions for emotion and learning, which builds social intelligence by fostering cooperation. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过两位神经科学家的实验研究，阐述了玩耍对大脑发育和社会化连接的重要作用，证明了玩耍不仅是娱乐，更是构建社会大脑、促进学习合作的重要途径。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Scientists now know that play also shapes the brain itself, influencing how animals — including humans — learn, think, and connect with others. ②The first group developed larger and more complex brains, with richer chemical activity. ③Panksepp realized that play is a basic need, not just a pleasure. ④It helps build the social brain, teaching us to notice others, share, and cooperate. 2.缜密构思 将四个关键要点进行逻辑整合：先总述玩耍对大脑和社会连接的作用，再分别说明两位科学家的核心发现，最后总结玩耍的社会功能。 3.遣词造句 Scientific research confirms that play actively shapes brain development and social capabilities. Through controlled experiments, Marian Diamond demonstrated that rats in stimulating environments developed significantly more complex neural structures. Jaak Panksepp established that play satisfies a fundamental biological need originating from primitive brain regions. Ultimately, these findings reveal that play serves as a crucial mechanism for developing social intelligence through teaching cooperation and interpersonal awareness. 【点睛】[高分句型1]：Marian Diamond demonstrated that enriched environments with toys and companions produced larger, more complex brains in rats. 运用that引导的宾语从句和with复合结构，准确概括了Diamond实验的核心发现。 [高分句型2]：Jaak Panksepp further identified play as a fundamental need originating in deep brain regions for emotion and learning, which builds social intelligence by fostering cooperation. 运用which引导的非限制性定语从句，清晰地表达了Panksepp的理论体系。 V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．公司安排了一辆车去机场接他。(arrange) 【答案】The company arranged for a car to pick him up at the airport./The company arranged for a car to collect him from the airport. 【详解】考查动词时态，非谓语动词和介词短语。根据汉语提示，句子表述过去事实，故使用一般过去时；表示“公司”用the company；表示“安排一辆车”用arrange for a car；表示“在机场接某人”用pick up sb at the airport/collect sb from the airport，此处使用不定式结构。故翻译为The company arranged for a car to pick him up at the airport./The company arranged for a car to collect him from the airport. 53．显而易见，这个地区的人随时能吃到新鲜的乳制品。（available） 【答案】It is obvious that the fresh dairy products are available to people in the region. 【详解】考查主语从句和形容词短语。根据句意，该句表达一个显而易见的事实，使用一般现在时；“显而易见”译为It is obvious that，其中It为形式主语，that引导真正的主语从句；从句主语“新鲜的乳制品”为the fresh dairy products；表示“这个地区的人随时能吃到”可理解为“随时可为这个地区的人所使用”译为be available to，available为形容词作表语，意为“可获得的，可使用的”；“这个地区的人”译为people in the region作宾语，介词to引出受益对象。故翻译为It is obvious that the fresh dairy products are available to people in the region. 54．在市长和相关各方的共同努力下，这个历史悠久的街区将在明年焕然一新。（take） 【答案】With the joint efforts of the mayor and all relevant parties, this time-honored neighborhood will take on a new look next year. 【详解】考查动词、名词和形容词。根据中文提示可知，表示“在市长和相关各方的共同努力下”应用with the joint efforts of the mayor and all relevant parties，为介词短语作状语，其中with the joint efforts of表“在……的共同努力下”，为固定搭配；表示“这个历史悠久的街区”应用 this time-honored neighborhood，为名词短语作主语；表示“将焕然一新”应用will take on a new look，时态为一般将来时表未来情况；表示“明年”应用next year，为副词短语作状语。故翻译为With the joint efforts of the mayor and all relevant parties, this time-honored neighborhood will take on a new look next year. 55．一系列先进软硬件的引入，再加上大数据的助力，不仅让消费者买菜更便捷舒心，更提升了市场管理效率。（while） 【答案】The introduction of advanced hardware and software, supported by big data, has made grocery shopping easier and more enjoyable for consumers, while improving market management efficiency. 【详解】考查现在完成时、非谓语动词、以及while引导的并列句。“一系列先进软硬件的引入”是句子主语部分，其中“引入”用名词introduction，“一系列先进软硬件”是“of advanced hardware and software”作后置定语修饰introduction，整体“The introduction of advanced hardware and software”作主语；“再加上大数据的助力”为状语部分，“助力”用support的过去分词作状语，表被动关系，“大数据”为by big data；主句“不仅让消费者买菜更便捷舒心”是过去动作对现在造成的影响，用现在完成时。所以用“has made+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，宾语“消费者买菜”译为grocery shopping，“更便捷舒心”为宾补，译为easier and more enjoyable，“让消费者”用for consumers表示，置于句尾。“让消费者买菜更便捷舒心”译为has made grocery shopping easier and more enjoyable for consumers，“更提升了市场管理效率”用指定词while+现在分词短语引导伴随结构，while在此处表示“与此同时”，后接动名词体现伴随动作与主句动作伴随发生的结果，避免句式冗余重复。“提升”为improve，“市场管理效率”译为market management efficiency。故翻译为The introduction of advanced hardware and software, supported by big data, has made grocery shopping easier and more enjoyable for consumers, while improving market management efficiency.

You’ll immediately apply what you learn to real-world scenarios, helping you better understand and master programming skills. In contrast, Course B’s approach of learning knowledge and skills from easy to difficult might be a bit more theoretical and less hands-on in the initial stage. In terms of teaching methods, although Course B combines online and offline learning, Course A’s pure offline teaching allows for more direct and in-person interactions with the teacher and classmates. You can get instant feedback and have in-depth discussions, which is beneficial for your learning. Regarding the assessment method, Course A mainly relies on the final exam. This encourages you to focus on comprehensive learning throughout the course, aiming for a good overall performance. While Course B’s assessment based on class performance, homework, and the final exam might add more pressure and distractions. I believe Course A is more suitable for you to enhance your programming abilities. I hope my advice helps.
