Here are some hotels and resorts that shine over the holiday. Big Cedar Lodge Its annual show, Home for the Holidays, features a series of events in November and December, including ice-skating and kids’ club activities. Guest rooms, cottages and cabins serve as cozy spots for winter getaways, and many dining options mean you’ll never need to leave the resort. Jekyll Island Club Resort At Christmastime, this historic resort hosts a gingerbread house decorating event and special holiday meals throughout December. About 350 light displays made up of more than a million lights can be seen in the resort’s trees. Hotel Bennett Visit this hotel for Christmas and you’ll immediately be surprised by the life-size gingerbread house made with pounds of candy. There are holiday stories on the night before Christmas Eve. Plus, all of the holiday festivities in Charleston’s downtown are just outside this hotel’s front door. Aspen Meadows Resort There are all kinds of festivities at the resort leading up to the big day, including snowmen building and sleigh rides.

Where is the text probably taken from? A. A website. B. A magazine. C. A newspaper. D. A guidebook. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了文章为网站圣诞度假地推荐，介绍了四家酒店/度假村的特色：涵盖滑冰、姜饼屋装饰、灯光秀等节日活动，且各有温馨住宿与餐饮优势。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jekyll Island Club Resort中“About 350 light displays made up of more than a million lights can be seen in the resort’s trees.( 在度假村的树上可以看到大约350个由100多万盏灯组成的灯光秀。)”可知，杰基尔岛俱乐部度假村有灯光表演。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Big Cedar Lodge中“Its annual show, Home for the Holidays, features a series of events in November and December, including ice-skating and kids’ club activities. (它的年度表演“假日之家”在11月和12月举办一系列活动，包括滑冰和儿童俱乐部活动。)”、Jekyll Island Club Resort中“At Christmastime, this historic resort hosts a gingerbread house decorating event and special holiday meals throughout December. (圣诞期间，这座历史悠久的度假村会在 12月全程推出姜饼屋装饰活动及特色节日餐点。)”、Hotel Bennett中“Visit this hotel for Christmas and you’ll immediately be surprised by the life-size gingerbread house made with pounds of candy. There are holiday stories on the night before Christmas Eve.( 圣诞期间入住该酒店，你会立刻被一座用数磅糖果打造的真人大小姜饼屋所惊艳。圣诞前夜将上演节日主题故事分享活动。)”以及Aspen Meadows Resort中“Holiday movie nights take place throughout December, and there’s lots of food to enjoy.( 12 月全程将放映假日主题电影，还有丰富美食等你来享。)”可知，列出地方的共同之处是它们在圣诞节前都有活动。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“If you’re looking for a place to spend the Christmas holiday, we try to cover possible information within the posts on our site online.( 如果你正在寻找一个地方度过圣诞节假期，我们试着在我们网站上的帖子中提供可能的信息。)”可推知，这篇文章可能来自一个网站。故选A项。 B At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious. C Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. C. The growth of professional disaster circles. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Forgetting aids recovery. B Resilience matters most. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急事务规划师露西·伊斯特霍普及其工作，描述了她如何从幕后走向公众视野，通过写书分享应对灾难的知识，并阐述了她对灾后恢复及关注微小痛苦的见解。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.(乍一看，伊斯特霍普似乎不太像一位卡珊德拉(希腊神话人物)。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼，像母亲一样；要你猜她的职业，你可能会猜是护士或老师。但是再仔细看)” 这里提到伊斯特霍普给人的表面印象是“微笑很多”、“和蔼可亲”，但这与“卡珊德拉”给人的感觉不同，因此暗示“卡珊德拉”的形象可能与伊斯特霍普给人的亲切、随和的第一印象相反，即可能比较“严肃、不易接近”。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年，她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定》，情况就此改变。人们开始对她的工作非常感兴趣)”可知，2023年公众对她工作的认知度提升，直接原因是一本畅销书的出版。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“在文学节上，大多数作者会被问到关于写作过程的问题，”伊斯特霍普说，“但我不会被问这些。人们想从我这里知道的是，我如何带着我所掌握的知识生活。我不害怕吗？我是如何应对的？我会告诉他们我并非活在恐惧中，并给他们一些基本的建议。但这还不够。”最终，她感到别无选择，只能再写一本书，一本试图总结她所学到的一切、以惠及每个人的书)”可推知， 引用读者的提问，是为了说明公众的关注点与常规作者不同，他们迫切想了解伊斯特霍普如何处理她所知的灾难知识，这种强烈的需求最终促使她产生了写作第二本书的动机。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们，小事也很重要，比如生病时脱发，或有人在去世后暴饮暴食)”可知，伊斯特霍普认为，灾难中的微小痛苦或细节也值得关注。故选D项。 C A recent study reveals that the ability to see things from others’ perspectives (观点) may augment creativity. Researchers from the University of Vienna conducted experiments with young Chinese adults to examine how different types of empathy (同理心) relate to creative thinking and achievement. The study measured two kinds of empathy: cognitive empathy (understanding others’ points of view) and emotional empathy (sharing others’ feelings). Participants completed questionnaires about their empathic tendencies and reported their creative activities over the past year, such as writing, inventing, or artistic pursuits. Researchers also analyzed long-term data from China’s Gene-Brain-Behavior Project to track creative development. Results showed that people with stronger cognitive empathy engaged in more creative activities and achieved greater success in fields like visual arts, science, and writing. Interestingly, emotional empathy didn’t show the same connection to creativity. The benefits of perspective-taking appeared strongest in areas requiring innovative thinking rather than technical skills like music performance. Further analysis suggested that understanding different viewpoints might stimulate creativity by exposing individuals to diverse ways of thinking. However, the emotional aspect of empathy didn’t contribute similarly, possibly because it requires mental energy that could otherwise be used for creative work. The findings highlight how developing our ability to see through others’ eyes might be an effective way to boost creative potential, especially in fields that value novel approaches and solutions. Whatever the case, the findings suggest that increasing your ability to take someone’s perspectives might be a good thing for your creativity. Fortunately, empathy can be cultivated through deliberate effort. One effective method is to engage with books or watch TV or films and mentally place yourself in the characters’ shoes, thereby building your perspective-taking muscles. You can also build empathy by interacting with people who are different from you in some way, while being curious about their inner life and deeply listening to their perspectives. 8. What does the underlined word “augment” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Put off. B. Call for. C. Hold back. D. Add to. 9. Why is cognitive empathy linked to greater creative achievement? A. It shares others’ emotional experiences. B. It introduces different thought processes. C. It offers mental energy among innovators. D. It helps individuals master technical skills. 10. How can people develop empathy? A. By role-imagining. B. By exposing inner world. C. By working out. D. By comparing backgrounds. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Science of Creativity: How It Unlocks Empathy B. The Mental Process of Seeing Through Others’ Eyes C. Understanding Others: the Key to Your Next Big Idea D. Seeing Differently Rarely Meaning Thinking Differently 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了一项研究揭示的从他人视角看问题的能力可能会增强创造力，还介绍了研究中涉及的两种同理心、研究结果以及培养同理心的方法等。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文研究结果“Results showed that people with stronger cognitive empathy engaged in more creative activities and achieved greater success in fields like visual arts, science, and writing. (结果表明，具有较强认知同理心的人参与更多的创造性活动，并在视觉艺术、科学和写作等领域取得更大的成功)”可知，有更强认知同理心的人创造力更强，这说明从他人视角看问题的能力可能会“增强”创造力，由此可推测，“augment”的意思是“增加、增强”，与“Add to”意思相近。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Further analysis suggested that understanding different viewpoints might stimulate creativity by exposing individuals to diverse ways of thinking. (进一步的分析表明，理解不同的观点可能会通过让个人接触到不同的思维方式来激发创造力)”可知，认知同理心与更强的创造性成就相关，是因为它能让人们接触到不同的思维过程。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“One effective method is to engage with books or watch TV or films and mentally place yourself in the characters’ shoes, thereby building your perspective-taking muscles. (一种有效的方法是阅读书籍或观看电视、电影，在心理上设身处地为角色着想，从而锻炼自己的换位思考能力)”可知，通过角色想象，在心理上置身于角色的处境可以培养同理心。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent study reveals that the ability to see things from others’ perspectives (观点) may augment creativity. (最近一项研究表明，从他人视角看待事物的能力可能会增强创造力)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇指出研究表明从他人视角看问题的能力可能会增强创造力，接着介绍了研究中对两种同理心的测量、研究结果（认知同理心与创造力相关），还说明了培养同理心的方法，全文围绕“理解他人（从他人视角看问题）有助于创造力”这一核心展开，C选项“理解他人：你下一个伟大想法的关键”能够概括文章主旨，可以作为最佳标题。故选C项。 D Many think that language is what sets humans apart from other animals, and that for us to think, language is a decisive factor. British philosopher Bertrand Russell even claimed in 1948 that no intelligent thinking can take place without language. However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities (实体), working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, "far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship through two research approaches. First, they studied patients suffering from global aphasia (完全性失语症), who had lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left hemisphere of their brain. However, they can still complete complex tasks. “You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal, they can succeed,” Evelina Fedorenko, one of the study’s authors from MIT, told ZME Science. The researchers also used brain-imaging tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers as they performed non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. It was found that the brain’s language regions were mostly inactive during such activities. In other words, we generally need language to express our thoughts but we can still think without words. So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans develop it? Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Most of the things that you probably learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complicated information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. Although language does not give rise to thoughts, past research shows that how we speak can heavily influence how we think. For example, the English sentence “he fired the gun” is usually phrased as “the gun went off” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to focus on the person responsible for an accident than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today. 12. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the text? A. To prove that language is essential for intelligent thinking. B. To develop new treatments for patients with global aphasia. C. To examine the relationship between language and thought. D. To identify the brain regions responsible for non-verbal reasoning. 13. What did brain-imaging tools reveal about healthy volunteers performing non-verbal task? A. They struggled with problem-solving. B. Their language centers became overactive. C. Their language regions showed little activity. D. They would unconsciously use verbal strategies. 14. How can language serve humans, according to Fedorenko? A. It helps humans generate thoughts. B. It facilitates the exchange of complex ideas. C. It replaces direct experience with the world. D. It determines humans’ evolutionary direction. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Complex thought is impossible without language. B. Thought can operate independently from language. C. Language plays a decisive role in shaping human thought. D. Language and thought are deeply interdependent in the brain. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于语言与思维关系的最新研究。研究发现，语言和思维是独立的，思维可以脱离语言进行。虽然语言不是思维必需的，但它是重要的交流工具，并且能影响我们的思维方式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship through two research approaches.(这项由美国科学家进行的研究通过两种研究方法探讨了语言与思维的关系。)”可知，文中提到的这项研究的主要目的是探究语言和思维之间的关系。选项C“To examine the relationship between language and thought.(检查语言和思维之间的关系。)”符合题意。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The researchers also used brain-imaging tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers as they performed non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. It was found that the brain’s language regions were mostly inactive during such activities.(研究人员还使用脑成像工具研究了健康志愿者在进行非语言任务(如解决谜题和规划)时的大脑。结果发现，大脑的语言区域在这些活动期间大多处于不活跃状态。)”可知，脑成像工具显示，健康志愿者在进行非语言任务时，他们的大脑语言区域活动很少。因此，选项C“Their language regions showed little activity.(他们的大脑语言区域活动很少。)”符合题意。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Most of the things that you probably learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complicated information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. (Fedorenko说，语言主要作为交流的工具。“你可能了解到的关于世界的大部分事情，都是通过语言而不是通过与世界的直接经验学到的，”她说。通过能够通过语言分享复杂的信息，人类获得了进化上的优势。)”可知，根据Fedorenko的说法，语言可以服务于人类，因为它促进了复杂思想的交流。因此，选项B“It facilitates the exchange of complex ideas.(它促进了复杂思想的交流。)”符合题意。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities (实体), working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, "far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science.(然而，最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究却提出了不同的看法。研究发现，语言和思维是两个不同的实体，在大脑的不同部分工作。简而言之，它们“比我们想象的要独立得多”，ZME科学写道。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了语言和思维之间的关系，指出思维可以在没有语言的情况下独立运作。因此，选项B“Thought can operate independently from language.(思维可以独立于语言运作。)”概括文章主要内容。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 The teenage years are a transformative period marked by great physical, psychological, and emotional changes. ___16___ They refer to the feelings that arise during interactions with others, such as gratitude, shame, sympathy, guilt, and pride.

From the second floor flat she could see the postman when he came down the street, and the little boy from the ground floor brought up her letters or parcels on the rare occasions when anything came. Today she was sure there would be something. Linda wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times. Of course Linda was busy. Her husband had been made Mayor, and Linda herself had got a medal for her work for the aged. The elderly woman was eighty today. She had put on her best dress. Perhaps-perhaps Linda might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday, another decade lived or endured just as you chose to look at it. Even if Linda did not come, she would send a present. The elderly woman was sure of that. Two spots of color brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child. She would enjoy her day. Yesterday Mrs. Morrison, whom Linda had arranged to light the fire and give the elderly woman her breakfast, had given the flat an extra clean, and today she had brought a card and a bunch of marigolds when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake, and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. The little boy, Johnnie, had been up with a packet of mints, and said he wouldn’t go out to play until the post had come. “I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents,” he said, “I did last week when I was six.” The elderly woman wondered what the present would be. A pair of slippers perhaps. Or a new scarf. A scarf would be lovely. Blue is such a pretty color. Or a table lamp. Or a book, a travel book, with pictures, or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The elderly woman stood by the window, watching. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She opened the envelope. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The elderly woman stood by the window, watching. Her heart pounded as the postman turned the corner, with his bag slung over his shoulder. Johnnie, the little boy from downstairs, dashed out to meet him, his eager voice carrying up to her window. The postman handed him a single envelope, and Johnnie raced back inside. Moments later, his small footsteps echoed on the stairs. “It’s for you!” he announced, holding out the envelope. Her hands trembled as she took it — Linda’s handwriting! But the envelope felt too light; where was the parcel? Doubt flickered, but she quickly dismissed it. She opened the envelope. “Dear mum, sorry to have let you down so many times whether on your birthdays or other occasions. I got a medal for my work for the aged, but I don’t think I deserve it because so long I’ve neglected the most lovely aged person in my life, who needs my care and company. I know it’s time to ...” Reading the letter, the old lady couldn’t help but sob. Tears ran down her cheeks and dropped onto the letter. Just at that moment, familiar steps drew closer and without doubt, the old lady knew that her most cherished present was finally coming. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了在八十岁生日当天，一位老妇人因期待女儿Linda的礼物和探望而充满喜悦，但最终只收到一封解释女儿因忙碌而无法探访的信，导致她感到深深的失望与孤独，直到听到熟悉的脚步声，才意识到女儿即将到来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老妇人站在窗边看着”可知，第一段可描写老妇人看到邮递员到来，小男孩取信后，她拿到信时原本期待又因信轻而心生怀疑，但仍抱有希望的心理。 ②由第二段首句内容“她打开信封”可知，第二段可描写老妇人打开信封后，先看到看似敷衍内容而失望，读下去却发现女儿深刻反思，最后听到熟悉脚步声，意识到期待已久的礼物（女儿到来）即将实现的惊喜转变。 2.续写线索： 期待——拿到信——怀疑——打开信——失望转惊喜——脚步声近 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿着：hold/take/grasp ②拿出：hold out/take out ③忽视：neglect/ignore 情绪类 ①双手颤抖：hands tremble/quiver/shiver ②流泪：tears ran down/roll down 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Here are some hotels and resorts that shine over the holiday. Big Cedar Lodge Its annual show, Home for the Holidays, features a series of events in November and December, including ice-skating and kids’ club activities. Guest rooms, cottages and cabins serve as cozy spots for winter getaways, and many dining options mean you’ll never need to leave the resort. Jekyll Island Club Resort At Christmastime, this historic resort hosts a gingerbread house decorating event and special holiday meals throughout December. About 350 light displays made up of more than a million lights can be seen in the resort’s trees. Hotel Bennett Visit this hotel for Christmas and you’ll immediately be surprised by the life-size gingerbread house made with pounds of candy. There are holiday stories on the night before Christmas Eve. Plus, all of the holiday festivities in Charleston’s downtown are just outside this hotel’s front door. Aspen Meadows Resort There are all kinds of festivities at the resort leading up to the big day, including snowmen building and sleigh rides. Holiday movie nights take place throughout December, and there’s lots of food to enjoy. The all-suites are perfect for family getaways with floor-to-ceiling windows providing mountain views. 1. Which place offers visitors light shows? A. Big Cedar Lodge. B. Jekyll Island Club Resort. C. Hotel Bennett. D. Aspen Meadows Resort. 2 What do the listed places have in common? A. They are all world-famous resorts. B. They are located in the downtown. C. They all have activities before Christmas. D. They all have special holiday parties. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A website. B. A magazine. C. A newspaper. D. A guidebook. B At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious. C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. C. The growth of professional disaster circles. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Forgetting aids recovery. B. Resilience matters most. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. C A recent study reveals that the ability to see things from others’ perspectives (观点) may augment creativity. Researchers from the University of Vienna conducted experiments with young Chinese adults to examine how different types of empathy (同理心) relate to creative thinking and achievement. The study measured two kinds of empathy: cognitive empathy (understanding others’ points of view) and emotional empathy (sharing others’ feelings). Participants completed questionnaires about their empathic tendencies and reported their creative activities over the past year, such as writing, inventing, or artistic pursuits. Researchers also analyzed long-term data from China’s Gene-Brain-Behavior Project to track creative development. Results showed that people with stronger cognitive empathy engaged in more creative activities and achieved greater success in fields like visual arts, science, and writing. Interestingly, emotional empathy didn’t show the same connection to creativity. The benefits of perspective-taking appeared strongest in areas requiring innovative thinking rather than technical skills like music performance. Further analysis suggested that understanding different viewpoints might stimulate creativity by exposing individuals to diverse ways of thinking. However, the emotional aspect of empathy didn’t contribute similarly, possibly because it requires mental energy that could otherwise be used for creative work. The findings highlight how developing our ability to see through others’ eyes might be an effective way to boost creative potential, especially in fields that value novel approaches and solutions. Whatever the case, the findings suggest that increasing your ability to take someone’s perspectives might be a good thing for your creativity. Fortunately, empathy can be cultivated through deliberate effort. One effective method is to engage with books or watch TV or films and mentally place yourself in the characters’ shoes, thereby building your perspective-taking muscles. You can also build empathy by interacting with people who are different from you in some way, while being curious about their inner life and deeply listening to their perspectives. 8. What does the underlined word “augment” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Put off. B. Call for. C. Hold back. D. Add to. 9. Why is cognitive empathy linked to greater creative achievement? A. It shares others’ emotional experiences. B. It introduces different thought processes. C. It offers mental energy among innovators. D. It helps individuals master technical skills. 10. How can people develop empathy? A. By role-imagining. B. By exposing inner world. C. By working out. D. By comparing backgrounds. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Science of Creativity: How It Unlocks Empathy B. The Mental Process of Seeing Through Others’ Eyes C. Understanding Others: the Key to Your Next Big Idea D. Seeing Differently Rarely Meaning Thinking Differently D Many think that language is what sets humans apart from other animals, and that for us to think, language is a decisive factor. British philosopher Bertrand Russell even claimed in 1948 that no intelligent thinking can take place without language. However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities (实体), working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, "far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship through two research approaches. First, they studied patients suffering from global aphasia (完全性失语症), who had lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left hemisphere of their brain. However, they can still complete complex tasks. “You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal, they can succeed,” Evelina Fedorenko, one of the study’s authors from MIT, told ZME Science. The researchers also used brain-imaging tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers as they performed non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. It was found that the brain’s language regions were mostly inactive during such activities. In other words, we generally need language to express our thoughts but we can still think without words. So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans develop it? Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Most of the things that you probably learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complicated information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. Although language does not give rise to thoughts, past research shows that how we speak can heavily influence how we think. For example, the English sentence “he fired the gun” is usually phrased as “the gun went off” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to focus on the person responsible for an accident than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today. 12. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the text? A. To prove that language is essential for intelligent thinking. B To develop new treatments for patients with global aphasia. C. To examine the relationship between language and thought. D. To identify the brain regions responsible for non-verbal reasoning. 13. What did brain-imaging tools reveal about healthy volunteers performing non-verbal task? A. They struggled with problem-solving. B. Their language centers became overactive. C. Their language regions showed little activity. D. They would unconsciously use verbal strategies. 14. How can language serve humans, according to Fedorenko? A. It helps humans generate thoughts. B. It facilitates the exchange of complex ideas. C. It replaces direct experience with the world. D. It determines humans’ evolutionary direction. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Complex thought is impossible without language. B. Thought can operate independently from language. C. Language plays a decisive role in shaping human thought. D. Language and thought are deeply interdependent in the brain. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 The teenage years are a transformative period marked by great physical, psychological, and emotional changes. ___16___ They refer to the feelings that arise during interactions with others, such as gratitude, shame, sympathy, guilt, and pride.

She got up early to be ready for the post. From the second floor flat she could see the postman when he came down the street, and the little boy from the ground floor brought up her letters or parcels on the rare occasions when anything came. Today she was sure there would be something. Linda wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times. Of course Linda was busy. Her husband had been made Mayor, and Linda herself had got a medal for her work for the aged. The elderly woman was eighty today. She had put on her best dress. Perhaps-perhaps Linda might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday, another decade lived or endured just as you chose to look at it. Even if Linda did not come, she would send a present. The elderly woman was sure of that. Two spots of color brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child. She would enjoy her day. Yesterday Mrs. Morrison, whom Linda had arranged to light the fire and give the elderly woman her breakfast, had given the flat an extra clean, and today she had brought a card and a bunch of marigolds when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake, and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. The little boy, Johnnie, had been up with a packet of mints, and said he wouldn’t go out to play until the post had come. “I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents,” he said, “I did last week when I was six.” The elderly woman wondered what the present would be. A pair of slippers perhaps. Or a new scarf. A scarf would be lovely. Blue is such a pretty color. Or a table lamp. Or a book, a travel book, with pictures, or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The elderly woman stood by the window, watching. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She opened the envelope. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
