You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.
11. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A. Her social work.
B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize.
D. Her community background.
12. What was the reason for O'Connor's being rejected by the law firm?
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
13. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?
A. Jane Addams.
B. Rachel Carson.
C. Sandra Day O'Connor.
D. Rosa Parks.
B
I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills. I was doing my monthly budget. There were bills for rent, insurance, the car, the phone, and cable (有线电视), plus money for food, gas, clothes, and hopefully a little left over for unexpected expenses. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week-long camps throughout the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called "Nanny" worked in her big kitchen. Every time I visited her, I was greeted with a warm smile, a hug, and a kiss. After that, she would hand me a hot roll, still fresh from her kitchen. Then she would reach into her pockets and pull out a treasure - a shiny quarter, which I would quickly use to buy an ice-cold Coke or a warm cherry Coke and a small bag of chips. I always took my time deciding, feeling rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
The old saying is true, "With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life." You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.
14. According to Paragraph 1, what was the author trying to figure out?
A. Where to get treasures.
B. What food and supplies to buy.
C. How to sort out these bills at hand.
D. How to balance the money available.
15. What does the underlined word "roll" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A sound.
B. A greeting.
C. A kind of act.
D. A kind of bread.
16. Which of the following best describes Nanny?
A. Loving.
B. Helpful.
C. Humorous.
D. Selfless.
17. Why does the author mention the old saying in the last Paragraph?
A. To change people's heart and soul.
B. To show what we should value in life.
C. To explain work and love can make a life.
D. To advise more love and sharing in childhood.
C
When learning a foreign language, most people depend on traditional ways: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias' research team found out that if you gesture (做手势) with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.
As Mathias describes, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex (运动皮层) - the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor cortex itself that promotes learning. The meaning expressed by the gesture also plays a role. "I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms," Goldin-Meadow says. "Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others don't necessarily bring it into the class - and it could be used more often and more effectively."
18. What do we know according to Brian Mathias' research?
A. Those only presented with matching pictures performed better.
B. The motor cortex had nothing to do with the vocabulary learning.
C. The research concluded that gestures benefited vocabulary learning.
D. 22 German-speaking adults and children were chosen as the test subjects.
19. Why was equipment attached to the subjects' heads during Mathias' test?
A. To count words.
B. To record emotion.
C. To influence brain activity.
D. To give clues to questions.
20. What does Leipzig's research tell us about language learning?
A. Adults and children are equally good learners.
B. Pictures have little influence on language learning.
C. Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.
D. Benefits of gestures are more obvious in adults in the long run.
21. What does the researcher suggest teachers do in the classroom?
A. Make better use of gestures.
B. Teach listening in a systematic way.
C. Avoid traditional teaching approaches.
D. Do some scientific researches on teaching.
D
Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the winners, and those winners set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club - women, or people of a different color or belief - they were unacknowledged and refused by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a connected world with constant global communication we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors (因素) like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance (毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."
22. What does the author think of winners' standards for joining the genius club?
A. They're unfair.
B. They're conservative.
C. They're objective.
D. They're strict.
23. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
24. Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of winners' concepts.
D. Changes in people's social positions.
25. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike.
B. Genius and Intelligence.
C. Genius Takes Many Forms.
D. Genius and Luck.

27. ________ You should realize that it takes some time to build a long-lasting bond with your pet.

A. was B. had been C. has been D. will be
【答案】C
・句意:到目前为止,进展非常顺利,我们确信这项工作会按时完成。
・解析:考查时态。关键标志词 “so far”(到目前为止)是现在完成时的典型标志,强调动作从过去持续到现在并产生影响。A项 “was” 为一般过去时,仅描述过去状态,与 “so far” 矛盾;B项 “had been” 为过去完成时,表 “过去的过去”,无对应过去时间参照;D项 “will be” 为一般将来时,与 “目前进展良好” 的语境不符,故选C。
2. The way the guests ________ in the hotel influenced their evaluation of the service.
A. were treated B. treated C. would be treated D. would treat
【答案】A
・句意:客人在酒店受到的待遇方式影响了他们对服务的评价。
・解析:考查被动语态。主语 “the guests”(客人)与 “treat”(对待)为被动关系(客人被对待),且动作发生在过去(影响了评价),需用一般过去时的被动语态 “were treated”。B项为主动语态,逻辑矛盾;C项 “would be treated” 表过去将来时的被动,无 “过去将要被对待” 的语境;D项为主动语态的过去将来时,语义与逻辑均不符,故选A。

・句意:西蒙,确保客人到达前桌子被摆放好。
・解析:考查被动语态与祈使句。“make sure” 后接宾语从句,从句主语 “the tables”(桌子)与 “set”(摆放)为被动关系,需用被动语态;结合 “before the guests arrive”(一般现在时),从句需用一般现在时的被动语态 “are set”。A项 “be set” 为虚拟语气结构,此处无 “建议、要求” 等虚拟语境;C项为主动进行时,逻辑错误;D项为过去分词,无法作谓语,故选B。
4. Because the shop ________, all the T-shirts are sold at half price.
A. has closed down B. is closing down C. had closed down D. closed down
【答案】B
・句意:因为这家店即将倒闭,所有T恤都半价出售。
・解析:考查时态。结合 “all the T-shirts are sold at half price”(现在半价促销)可知,“倒闭” 是 “即将发生的动作”,用现在进行时 “is closing down” 表将来(表示计划、安排好的即将发生的动作)。A项 “has closed down” 为现在完成时,表 “已倒闭”,与 “正在促销” 矛盾;C项 “had closed down” 为过去完成时,无过去时间参照;D项 “closed down” 为一般过去时,表 “过去倒闭”,无法解释现在的促销行为,故选B。
5. —Dr. Mike is not in his office at the moment.
—All right, I ________ him later.
A. will be calling B. have called C. call D. will call
【答案】D
・句意:——迈克医生现在不在办公室。——好的,我稍后给他打电话。
・解析:考查时态。“later”(稍后)表示将来的时间,此处为 “临时决定稍后做某事”,用一般将来时 “will call”。A项 “will be calling” 为将来进行时,表 “将来某个时刻正在做”,此处无 “具体时刻” 语境;B项 “have called” 为现在完成时,表 “已打过”,与 “later” 矛盾;C项 “call” 为一般现在时,表 “经常性动作”,不符合 “临时决定” 的语境,故选D。
6. We live in an age ________ more information is available with great ease than ever before.
A. that B. when C. where D. which
【答案】B
・句意:我们生活在一个能比以往任何时候都更容易获取更多信息的时代。
・解析:考查定语从句。先行词为 “an age”(一个时代),从句中缺少时间状语(in the age),需用关系副词 “when” 引导。A项 “that”、D项 “which” 为关系代词,需在从句中作主语或宾语,此处从句主干完整(主谓宾齐全),无需代词;C项 “where” 为关系副词,表地点,与 “age”(时间)不匹配,故选B。

A
You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.

11. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?

I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills. I was doing my monthly budget. There were bills for rent, insurance, the car, the phone, and cable (有线电视), plus money for food, gas, clothes, and hopefully a little left over for unexpected expenses. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week-long camps throughout the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called "Nanny" worked in her big kitchen. Every time I visited her, I was greeted with a warm smile, a hug, and a kiss. After that, she would hand me a hot roll, still fresh from her kitchen. Then she would reach into her pockets and pull out a treasure - a shiny quarter, which I would quickly use to buy an ice-cold Coke or a warm cherry Coke and a small bag of chips. I always took my time deciding, feeling rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
The old saying is true, "With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life." You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.
【导语】本文通过作者回忆童年时奶奶(Nanny)用热面包和硬币给予的关爱,对比成年后处理账单的现实,点明核心主旨:工作能让人谋生,但爱能让人拥有真正的生活,爱是永恒的财富。
14. According to Paragraph 1, what was the author trying to figure out?
A. Where to get treasures. B. What food and supplies to buy. C. How to sort out these bills at hand. D. How to balance the money available.
【答案】D
・解析:根据第一段 “I was doing my monthly budget... bills for rent... plus money for food... hopefully a little left over for unexpected expenses” 可知,作者在做月度预算,核心是 “平衡可用资金(收入与各项开支)”。A项 “寻找财富” 是后文回忆内容,非第一段目的;B项 “购买什么食物和用品” 仅为预算的一部分,非核心;C项 “整理手头账单” 是预算的步骤,而非目的(目的是合理分配资金),故选D。
15. What does the underlined word "roll" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A sound. B. A greeting. C. A kind of act. D. A kind of bread.
【答案】D
・解析:根据第二段 “hand me a hot roll, still fresh from her kitchen” 可知,“roll” 是奶奶从厨房刚做好的热的东西,结合常识 “厨房制作的热食” 及后文 “用硬币买零食” 可推断,“roll” 是 “一种面包(面包卷)”。A项 “声音”、B项 “问候”、C项 “一种行为” 均与 “厨房制作的热食” 无关,故选D。
16. Which of the following best describes Nanny?
A. Loving. B. Helpful. C. Humorous. D. Selfless.
【答案】A
・解析:根据第二段 “greeted with a warm smile, a hug, and a kiss... hand me a hot roll... pull out a treasure - a shiny quarter” 及第三段 “the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me” 可知,奶奶用微笑、拥抱、食物和硬币传递关爱,核心特质是 “充满爱的(loving)”。B项 “乐于助人的” 侧重帮助他人解决困难,原文未体现;C项 “幽默的” 未提及;D项 “无私的” 侧重牺牲自我,原文侧重 “关爱晚辈”,未体现 “牺牲”,故选A。
17. Why does the author mention the old saying in the last Paragraph?
A. To change people's heart and soul. B. To show what we should value in life. C. To explain work and love can make a life. D. To advise more love and sharing in childhood.
【答案】B
・解析:根据最后一段 “With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life” 及后文 “It is that one treasure that lasts forever” 可知,作者引用谚语是为了 “点明人生的核心价值——爱比谋生更重要”。A项 “改变人们的心灵” 过度推断;C项 “解释工作和爱能创造生活” 曲解谚语(谚语强调 “爱” 是 “真正生活” 的核心,而非两者并列);D项 “建议童年多关爱与分享” 局限于童年,原文主旨是 “人生应珍视爱”,故选B。
C
When learning a foreign language, most people depend on traditional ways: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias' research team found out that if you gesture (做手势) with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.
As Mathias describes, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex (运动皮层) - the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor cortex itself that promotes learning. The meaning expressed by the gesture also plays a role. "I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms," Goldin-Meadow says. "Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others don't necessarily bring it into the class - and it could be used more often and more effectively."
【导语】本文介绍两项关于 “手势与外语学习” 的研究:布莱恩·马蒂亚斯团队发现,学习词汇时配合手势能激活运动皮层,提升记忆效果;莱比锡团队发现,长期来看手势对成年人词汇记忆的帮助优于图片,而对儿童两者效果相当,研究者建议课堂应更系统、有效地运用手势。
18. What do we know according to Brian Mathias' research?
A. Those only presented with matching pictures performed better. B. The motor cortex had nothing to do with the vocabulary learning. C. The research concluded that gestures benefited vocabulary learning. D. 22 German-speaking adults and children were chosen as the test subjects.
【答案】C
・解析:根据第二段 “if you gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better... the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures” 可知,马蒂亚斯的研究结论是 “手势有助于词汇学习”。A项 “仅看图片的人表现更好” 与 “The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures” 矛盾;B项 “运动皮层与词汇学习无关” 与 “the motor cortex contributed to the translation” 矛盾;D项 “受试者包括成人和儿童” 错误,马蒂亚斯的研究仅涉及 “22名德语成年人”,儿童是莱比锡团队的研究对象,故选C。
19. Why was equipment attached to the subjects' heads during Mathias' test?
A. To count words. B. To record emotion. C. To influence brain activity. D. To give clues to questions.
【答案】C
・解析:根据第二段 “they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex... Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex” 可知,设备的作用是 “向运动皮层发送微弱干扰信号”,进而观察运动皮层的活动水平,即 “影响大脑活动(以研究其与词汇学习的关联)”。A项 “计数单词”、B项 “记录情绪”、D项 “提供问题线索” 均未提及,故选C。
20. What does Leipzig's research tell us about language learning?
A. Adults and children are equally good learners. B. Pictures have little influence on language learning. C. Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children. D. Benefits of gestures are more obvious in adults in the long run.
【答案】D
・解析:根据第三段 “After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures” 可知,莱比锡的研究表明 “长期来看(六个月后),手势对成年人词汇学习的帮助比图片更明显”。A项 “成人和儿童学习能力相当” 未提及;B项 “图片对语言学习几乎无影响” 与 “两个月时两者效果相当” 矛盾;C项 “图片对儿童比视频更有帮助” 错误,原文对比的是 “图片与手势”,未提及视频,故选D。
21. What does the researcher suggest teachers do in the classroom?
A. Make better use of gestures. B. Teach listening in a systematic way. C. Avoid traditional teaching approaches. D. Do some scientific researches on teaching.
【答案】A
・解析:根据最后一段 “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms... it could be used more often and more effectively” 可知,研究者建议教师 “在课堂上更好地运用手势(更多、更系统地使用)”。B项 “系统地教听力” 未提及;C项 “避免传统教学方法” 过度推断(原文未否定传统方法,仅建议补充手势);D项 “做教学科研” 未提及,故选A。
D
Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the winners, and those winners set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club - women, or people of a different color or belief - they were unacknowledged and refused by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a connected world with constant global communication we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors (因素) like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance (毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."
【导语】本文探讨 “天才的本质与定义”:历史上天才常被局限于欧洲裔白人男性,这是由胜利者设定的不公平标准;研究发现女孩早年就受性别偏见影响,回避 “聪明孩子” 的活动;但随着全球沟通的加强,人们逐渐意识到天才不受性别、种族等社会因素限制,核心是智慧、创造力、毅力和运气。
22. What does the author think of winners' standards for joining the genius club?
A. They're unfair. B. They're conservative. C. They're objective. D. They're strict.
【答案】A
・解析:根据第三段 “those winners set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club - women, or people of a different color or belief - they were unacknowledged” 可知,作者认为胜利者设定的天才标准 “排除了女性、不同肤色或信仰的人”,是 “不公平的(unfair)”。B项 “保守的” 侧重 “不愿接受新事物”,未体现;C项 “客观的” 与原文矛盾;D项 “严格的” 侧重 “标准高”,原文强调 “标准具有排他性”,而非严格,故选A。
23. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers. C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
【答案】D
・解析:根据第四段 “girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender are 'really, really smart'... they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are 'really, really smart'” 可知,女孩受 “女性不够聪明” 这一社会普遍认知的影响,回避相关活动,即 “容易受社会观念影响”。A项 “认为自己聪明” 与原文矛盾;B项 “敬仰伟大思想家” 未提及;C项 “比男孩更早发现性别差异” 未提及,原文仅对比女孩与男孩对自身性别的认知,故选D。
24. Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of winners' concepts. D. Changes in people's social positions.
【答案】A
・解析:根据最后一段 “In a connected world with constant global communication we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear” 可知,“全球沟通的改善” 让人们能看到各地的天才,因此更多天才被公众所知。B项 “对女性歧视减少” 是可能的结果,而非原因;C项 “接受胜利者的观念” 与原文矛盾(原文批判该观念);D项 “人们社会地位的变化” 未提及,故选A。
25. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike. B. Genius and Intelligence. C. Genius Takes Many Forms. D. Genius and Luck.
【答案】C
・解析:全文核心围绕 “天才的定义与多样性” 展开:批判历史上狭隘的天才标准(欧洲裔白人男性),指出天才不受性别、种族等社会因素限制,未来天才来自具备智慧、创造力等特质的人,即 “天才有多种形式(种族、性别、背景各异)”。A项 “天才所见略同” 未提及;B项 “天才与智力” 仅侧重智力,忽略原文强调的创造力、毅力等;D项 “天才与运气” 仅最后一句提及运气,非核心,故选C。

【导语】本文介绍了中国教师节的历史渊源:可追溯至汉代,汉晋时期皇帝会在孔子诞辰日祭拜孔子、宴请教师;古代教师的收入包括薪水、住宿和节日礼物,不同地区教师收礼的节日有所不同,但核心节日相对统一。
46. 【答案】dates

・解析:考查介词。空格后为具体日期 “August 27”(8月27日),具体日期前需用介词 “on”,表 “在某一天”。
48. 【答案】followed

54. 【答案】beginning
・解析:考查词性转换。空格处与 “end”(结束)并列,需用名词;“begin”(动词,开始)的名词形式为 “beginning”(开头),表 “学期初”。
55. 【答案】which
・解析:考查定语从句。先行词为 “the festivals”(节日),空格处引导定语从句,且在从句中作介词 “in” 的宾语(in which = when),故用关系代词 “which”(介词后不能用that)。

【答案】例文
Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear you’re stressed about balancing heavy schoolwork and colorful club activities. It’s totally normal for freshmen to feel this way, so don’t be too hard on yourself.
Here are two practical suggestions. First, make a detailed schedule to arrange study and club time reasonably—prioritize important tasks like exams. Second, don’t hesitate to quit some less important club events if you feel overwhelmed. It’s better to focus on a few things well than do many poorly.
Hope these tips help. May you soon find a balance and enjoy your high school life!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

• It’s better to focus on a few things well than do many poorly.(“It’s better to... than...” 表对比,强调 “专注少数事” 的重要性,建议明确且有说服力)。
