Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later.
Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual.
Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures.
She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages.
Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) , alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same.
Louisa May Alcott died on March 6, 1888. Through her timeless body of work, particularly Little Women, she has left an incredible mark on American literature.
4. What does the underlined word “chronicle” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Imagine. B. Judge. C. Record. D. Decorate.
5. Why does the author mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau?
A. To list famous 19th-century writers. B. To recommend the Transcendental Club.
C. To explain Louisa’s father’s social circle. D. To introduce Louisa’s educational background.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Louisa’s family life. B. Louisa’s literary career.
C. The success of Little Women. D. The influence of Hospital Sketches.
7. What can we infer about Louisa from the text?
A. She valued women’s rights. B. Little Men was her first work.
C. Her mother was a philosopher. D. She lived in Pennsylvania all her life.
C
Experts say that the “7-38-55 Rule” can greatly help improve emotional understanding. While words carry meaning, they often cannot show the full emotional story. Imagining a friend asking, “Are you okay?” and you answering, “Yeah, I’m fine.” The words may sound comforting, but a flat voice and drooping (低垂的) shoulders say a lot more.
We naturally interpret stops in speaking and body movements before we fully trust a message. This natural judgment occurs all the time—during quick talks in the hall video calls, or first meetings. The 7-38-55 Rule describes this situation: only 7% of emotional meaning is carried through words, 38% through tone (语调) of voice, and 55% through body language.
The rule came from the research by expert Albert Mehrabian in the 1960s. He studied how people decide if someone is likable when spoken and bodily signals don’t match. His tests, which used mixed-up facial expressions and recorded words, showed that people depend more on tone and facial expressions than on the actual words. As Mehrabian pointed out, when spoken and bodily signals don’t agree, the latter are likely to be more powerful.
This idea becomes especially important in emotionally unclear situations. For example, saying “Great job” in a flat voice while you look at your phone weakens the message. On the other hand, sincere eye contact and a warm tone make the praise believable. Similarly, in social situations, someone using awkward words but smiling and bending forward can still leave a good impression.
Digital communication shows the weakness of relying only on words. Text takes away 93% of the emotional meaning, which is why a simple “Sure” can be misinterpreted. People try to make up for this by using more emojis (表情), yet misunderstandings still occur often. Even video calls, with their technical limitations, often fail to fully express our intended meaning.
In work environments, body signals strongly affect teamwork and leadership. Voice alone accounts for nearly 40% of how your attitude is seen by others. A calm tone and an open body position build trust better than data alone. Similarly, in personal interactions, gestures and eye contact can either build or block connection.
8. What did Mehrabian’s research study?
A. What makes a good talk. B. How words carry meaning.
C. How to use body language. D. How people judge likability.
9. What does paragraph 4 suggest about emotional expression?
A. Phone use improves message trust. B. Tone and body language matter more.
C. Words are enough to show true feelings. D. Awkward words always ruin impressions.
10. What can we learn about video calls from paragraph 5?
A. They fully show emotions. B. They take less time than texts.
C. They have no technical limits. D. They can’t express our meaning well.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to the 7-38-55 Rule?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
D
A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses that can automatically (自动地) adjust focus in real time. This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜) .
Although IXI’s glasses are not the first of this kind, they are a major improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting continuously and automatically according to where the wearer is looking. The battery inside is designed to last for two days and can be charged at night. The company also hopes the glasses will accommodate many different face shapes.
The key technology relies on a special material called liquid crystals (晶体) in the lenses (镜片). Niko Eiden, the company leader, says, these crystals can be repositioned electrically, allowing the lenses to be freely adjusted. A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly. This adjustment occurs in just 0.2 seconds, faster than the human eye’s natural focusing speed.
This new development could fix main problems with bifocals. Bifocals have separate areas for near and far sight, forcing users to move their heads to see clearly and offering a smaller field of view. IXI’s method provides a clear view at all distances without such actions.
Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. Fortunately, for safety, if the system stops working, the wearer can still look through the top part of the lenses.
12. How is paragraph 2 developed?
A. By following time order. B. By listing detailed numbers.
C. By making comparison. D. By explaining causes and effects.
13. What is the feature of IXI’s glasses?
A. They have an eye-tracker inside. B. They fit only round faces.
C. They need to be adjusted by hand. D. They use common lens materials.
14. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Vision correction products are popular. B. Designers have solved battery weight issues.
C. The glasses aren’t ready for the market. D. The glasses’ system never stops working.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new kind of smart glasses. B. Bifocals’ main problems in use.
C. How to make self-adjusting glasses. D. Rules for vision correction products.

47. 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。
“Judy, can you stay after class to finish decorating the prom (舞会) poster? I promised the teacher it’d be done today, but I have a piano lesson.” Clara, the prom committee leader, rested against my desk as if her request was not up for discussion. The poster — covered in half-painted sunflowers — sat open on her desk, and I could tell she’d only started it that morning. I stared at my notebook, where I’d written down “study for physics test” in red ink, with little stars around the equations I still couldn’t make sense of.
At 16, I joined the prom committee because I loved brainstorming themes, rather than picking up last-minute extra work. Clara had backed out of the poster three times this month — once for a café date, once for a “sudden” shopping trip, and now for her piano lesson — and each “quick favor” had kept me at school until 6 pm.
“But I have to study for tomorrow’s test,” I said, my voice quieter than I wanted. “Physics is already hard for me — I failed the last practice test, and my mom will help me have a review tonight.”
Clara rolled her eyes, opening the poster wider to show the blank corner where the date needed to be filled in. “It’ll only take an hour! The test can wait — this poster is for the whole grade, not just you,” she said.
My friend Maya, who was packing her bag nearby, shot me a look and mouthed “don’t do it.” I knew if I said yes, I’d miss the review with my mom, stay up until midnight studying hard, and still probably confuse Newton’s laws during the test.
I thought of my older brother, who’d once missed his driver’s test to help his friend move furniture. He’d had to wait three months to retake it, and by then, he’d lost his part-time job at the auto shop because he couldn’t drive. I sat with him that night as he ate cold pizza and said, “I just didn’t want to let my friend down,” and I’d told myself I’d never let someone else’s poor planning mess up my own goals.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I closed my notebook and stood up firmly this time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Clara found me at lunch, her face pink with embarrassment.

Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later.
Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual.
Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures.
She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages.
Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) , alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same.
Louisa May Alcott died on March 6, 1888. Through her timeless body of work, particularly Little Women, she has left an incredible mark on American literature.
4. What does the underlined word “chronicle” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Imagine. B. Judge. C. Record. D. Decorate.
5. Why does the author mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau?
A. To list famous 19th-century writers. B. To recommend the Transcendental Club.
C. To explain Louisa’s father’s social circle. D. To introduce Louisa’s educational background.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Louisa’s family life. B. Louisa’s literary career.
C. The success of Little Women. D. The influence of Hospital Sketches.
7. What can we infer about Louisa from the text?

Experts say that the “7-38-55 Rule” can greatly help improve emotional understanding. While words carry meaning, they often cannot show the full emotional story. Imagining a friend asking, “Are you okay?” and you answering, “Yeah, I’m fine.” The words may sound comforting, but a flat voice and drooping (低垂的) shoulders say a lot more.
We naturally interpret stops in speaking and body movements before we fully trust a message. This natural judgment occurs all the time—during quick talks in the hall, video calls, or first meetings. The 7-38-55 Rule describes this situation: only 7% of emotional meaning is carried through words, 38% through tone (语调) of voice, and 55% through body language.
The rule came from the research by expert Albert Mehrabian in the 1960s. He studied how people decide if someone is likable when spoken and bodily signals don’t match. His tests, which used mixed-up facial expressions and recorded words, showed that people depend more on tone and facial expressions than on the actual words. As Mehrabian pointed out, when spoken and bodily signals don’t agree, the latter are likely to be more powerful.
This idea becomes especially important in emotionally unclear situations. For example, saying “Great job” in a flat voice while you look at your phone weakens the message. On the other hand, sincere eye contact and a warm tone make the praise believable. Similarly, in social situations, someone using awkward words but smiling and bending forward can still leave a good impression.
Digital communication shows the weakness of relying only on words. Text takes away 93% of the emotional meaning, which is why a simple “Sure” can be misinterpreted. People try to make up for this by using more emojis (表情), yet misunderstandings still occur often. Even video calls, with their technical limitations, often fail to fully express our intended meaning.
In work environments, body signals strongly affect teamwork and leadership. Voice alone accounts for nearly 40% of how your attitude is seen by others. A calm tone and an open body position build trust better than data alone. Similarly, in personal interactions, gestures and eye contact can either build or block connection.
8. What did Mehrabian’s research study?
A. What makes a good talk. B. How words carry meaning.
C. How to use body language. D. How people judge likability.
9. What does paragraph 4 suggest about emotional expression?
A. Phone use improves message trust. B. Tone and body language matter more.
C. Words are enough to show true feelings. D. Awkward words always ruin impressions.
10. What can we learn about video calls from paragraph 5?
A. They fully show emotions. B. They take less time than texts.
C. They have no technical limits. D. They can’t express our meaning well.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to the 7-38-55 Rule?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“7-38-55法则”,即情绪表达中语言占7%、语调占38%、肢体语言占55%,并结合研究、实例说明该法则在不同场景中的应用价值。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The rule came from the research by expert Albert Mehrabian in the 1960s. He studied how people decide if someone is likable when spoken and bodily signals don’t match.(该法则源于专家阿尔伯特·梅拉比安在20世纪60年代的研究。他研究了当语言信号和身体信号不一致时,人们如何判断一个人是否可爱。)”可知,梅拉比安的研究核心是探讨人们在语言与身体信号冲突时,如何判断他人的可爱程度。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“For example, saying “Great job” in a flat voice while you look at your phone weakens the message. On the other hand, sincere eye contact and a warm tone make the praise believable. Similarly, in social situations, someone using awkward words but smiling and bending forward can still leave a good impression.(例如,一边看手机一边用平淡的语气说“干得好”会削弱信息的可信度。另一方面,真诚的眼神交流和温暖的语调会让赞美变得可信。同样,在社交场合中,一个人即使言辞笨拙,但面带微笑、身体前倾,仍然能留下良好的印象。)”可知,该段通过正反实例对比,表明语调与肢体语言对情绪表达的影响比单纯的语言更重要。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Even video calls, with their technical limitations, often fail to fully express our intended meaning.(即使是视频通话,由于其技术限制,也常常无法完全表达我们的真实意图。)”可知,视频通话受技术限制,不能很好地传递人们的真实含义。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Experts say that the “7-38-55 Rule” can greatly help improve emotional understanding.(专家表示,“7-38-55法则”能极大帮助提升情绪理解能力。)”、第四段实例论证法则在情绪表达中的作用、第五段说明该法则解释了数字沟通的局限性、第六段强调其在工作和人际交往中的重要性,全文围绕法则的价值展开论述可知,作者对该法则持支持态度。故选B项。

A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses that can automatically (自动地) adjust focus in real time. This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜) .
Although IXI’s glasses are not the first of this kind, they are a major improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting continuously and automatically according to where the wearer is looking. The battery inside is designed to last for two days and can be charged at night. The company also hopes the glasses will accommodate many different face shapes.
The key technology relies on a special material called liquid crystals (晶体) in the lenses (镜片). Niko Eiden, the company leader, says, these crystals can be repositioned electrically, allowing the lenses to be freely adjusted. A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly. This adjustment occurs in just 0.2 seconds, faster than the human eye’s natural focusing speed.
This new development could fix main problems with bifocals. Bifocals have separate areas for near and far sight, forcing users to move their heads to see clearly and offering a smaller field of view. IXI’s method provides a clear view at all distances without such actions.
Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. Fortunately, for safety, if the system stops working, the wearer can still look through the top part of the lenses.
12. How is paragraph 2 developed?
A. By following time order. B. By listing detailed numbers.
C. By making comparison. D. By explaining causes and effects.
13. What is the feature of IXI’s glasses?
A. They have an eye-tracker inside. B. They fit only round faces.
C. They need to be adjusted by hand. D. They use common lens materials.
14. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Vision correction products are popular. B. Designers have solved battery weight issues.
C. The glasses aren’t ready for the market. D. The glasses’ system never stops working.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new kind of smart glasses. B. Bifocals’ main problems in use.
C. How to make self-adjusting glasses. D. Rules for vision correction products.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. A

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了西藏自治区尽管部分高海拔地区降雨异常多,但秋收仍接近完成,且预计粮食总产量保持稳定。
【36题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:据《西藏日报》报道,上周该地区96%以上的粮食已收割完毕。根据时间状语last week可知,句子描述的是过去的事情,且主语grains和harvest之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were。故填were harvested。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:西藏自治区农业农村厅官员陈义生告诉该报:“在一些高海拔地区,降雨量比平时多,影响了青稞等主要作物生长和收获。”此处特指上文提到的“Xizang Daily”,应用定冠词the。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:农业机械也被用来提高秋收效率,减少天气造成的损失。be used to do sth.为固定用法,意为“被用来做某事”,所以空处应用动词不定式。故填to improve。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空处是非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词losses,cause和losses之间是逻辑动宾关系,应用过去分词形式。故填caused。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这些努力帮助大多数农业地区在预期的寒冷时期到来之前完成了收割。effort“努力”是可数名词,由These可知,应用名词复数形式,作主语。故填efforts。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:今年,政府为农民提供了超过6亿元的农业财政支持,用于保护农田土壤和购买农业机械等措施。provide sb. with sth.为固定搭配,意为“为某人提供某物”。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:同上。protecting farmland soil和buying agricultural machinery之间是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:目前,收割的青稞、小麦和其他谷物正在干燥和储存。空处修饰整个句子,应用副词currently,作状语,意为“目前”,句首单词,首字母应大写。故填Currently。
【45题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:鉴于秋收的进展,预计今年的粮食总产量将保持在通常的110万吨以上水平。空处修饰名词短语total grain output,应用名词所有格形式,表示“今年的”。故填year’s。

【答案】One possible version:
My Trip to a Museum
Last Sunday, I visited the local history museum. My eyes lit up when I saw a display of old Beijing Opera masks — red ones for loyalty and black ones for courage, each carefully painted with bright patterns. The guide told us that these masks had been used in performances decades ago.
I stood there, imagining how actors had once worn them on the stage. That day, I didn’t just see masks; I felt myself immersed in the charm of traditional culture. When I left, my heart was filled with expectation, and I was eager to learn more stories behind Beijing Opera soon.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
“Judy, can you stay after class to finish decorating the prom (舞会) poster? I promised the teacher it’d be done today, but I have a piano lesson.” Clara, the prom committee leader, rested against my desk as if her request was not up for discussion. The poster — covered in half-painted sunflowers — sat open on her desk, and I could tell she’d only started it that morning. I stared at my notebook, where I’d written down “study for physics test” in red ink, with little stars around the equations I still couldn’t make sense of.
At 16, I joined the prom committee because I loved brainstorming themes, rather than picking up last-minute extra work. Clara had backed out of the poster three times this month — once for a café date, once for a “sudden” shopping trip, and now for her piano lesson — and each “quick favor” had kept me at school until 6 pm.
“But I have to study for tomorrow’s test,” I said, my voice quieter than I wanted. “Physics is already hard for me — I failed the last practice test, and my mom will help me have a review tonight.”
Clara rolled her eyes, opening the poster wider to show the blank corner where the date needed to be filled in. “It’ll only take an hour! The test can wait — this poster is for the whole grade, not just you,” she said.
My friend Maya, who was packing her bag nearby, shot me a look and mouthed “don’t do it.” I knew if I said yes, I’d miss the review with my mom, stay up until midnight studying hard, and still probably confuse Newton’s laws during the test.
I thought of my older brother, who’d once missed his driver’s test to help his friend move furniture. He’d had to wait three months to retake it, and by then, he’d lost his part-time job at the auto shop because he couldn’t drive. I sat with him that night as he ate cold pizza and said, “I just didn’t want to let my friend down,” and I’d told myself I’d never let someone else’s poor planning mess up my own goals.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I closed my notebook and stood up firmly this time.

The next day, Clara found me at lunch, her face pink with embarrassment.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I closed my notebook and stood up firmly this time. “I’m sorry, Clara, but I can’t stay,” I said. “I told you I need to study, and I can’t put my test off for this.” Clara’s shoulders slumped, and she stared at the half-finished poster as if realizing for the first time how much work remained. I grabbed my bag, pausing for a second, and said, “Next time, maybe start the poster earlier instead of asking others to fix it at the last minute.” Then, I walked out with Maya and felt much lighter than before.
The next day, Clara found me at lunch, her face pink with embarrassment. “About yesterday... thanks for being honest,” she said softly, and slid a carton of milk toward me. “I should’ve planned better instead of dumping it on you. I finished the poster last night — stayed up late, just like you would’ve had to.” I accepted the milk and smiled, “It’s okay. I just hope we can make better plans next time.” She nodded, looking relieved. For the first time in weeks, our conversation didn’t feel forced — it was just two friends chatting casually during lunch.
【解析】
