Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males send them off to bed at night. Boys are found everywhere—on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on his face, BEAUTY with a cut on his finger, WISDOM with chocolate in his hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in his pocket. When you are busy, a boy is a trouble - maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, he becomes a wild creature destroying the world and himself with it. A boy is a mixture — he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker (鞭炮), but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand. He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime. Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to have supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half - eaten apple, a three - foot rope, six cents and some unknown things. A boy is a magical creature — he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, "Hi, Dad!" 4. What is the tone of the whole passage? A. Humour and fondness. B. Anger and disappointment. C. Hope and expectation. D. Confidence and imagination. 5. What's the meaning of the underlined sentence? A. He has altogether five fingers. B. He is slow and clumsy. C. He becomes clever and smart. D. He cuts his hand with a knife. 6. What do boys like according to the passage? A. Attending schools. B. Music classes. C. Cutting hairs. D. Fire fighting trucks 7. What does the article mainly talk about? A. The magical power of boys. B. The difficulties of raising boys. C. The characteristics of boys. D. The advantages of boys. C With the completion of the Human Genome (基因组) Project more than 20 years ago, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA enjoying its 70th birthday last year, you might assume that we know how life works. Think again! Evolution has a 4 billion - year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works — the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular (分子) machines and more — have wildly reduced the complexity of life. In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood. Ball explains that life is a system of many levels — genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules — each with its own rules and principles, so there is no unique place to look for an answer to it. Also, How Life Works is a much more appealing title than the overused question of "What is life?". We should be less concerned with what a thing is, and rather more focused on what a thing does. Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type, but this will run counter to the Darwinian principle that living things are four - dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space. But it's an idea that is deeply rooted within our culture. Ball points out that we rely on metaphors to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none is enough. We are taught that cells are machines, though no machine we have invented behaves like the simplest cell; that DNA is a code or a blueprint, though it is neither; that the brain is a computer, though no computer behaves like a brain at all. Ball is an excellent writer, producing books on incredibly different subjects. There's a wealth of well - researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never - ending quest to understand life. 8. What does paragraph 2 intend to state? A. The research of biology is tricky. B. Human evolution is a lengthy process. C. Genes determine the structure of living things. D. Commonly held models of life are oversimplified. 9. What does the underlined phrase "run counter to" in paragraph 4 mean? A. Go against. B. Refer to. C. Account for. D. Contribute to. 10. What is Ball's attitude to using metaphors to explain life? A. Positive. B. Disapproving. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review a book. B. To introduce genetic map. C. To honour a writer. D. To correct a misunderstanding. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Is Sugarcoat Sweet? In our pursuit to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we're sometimes tempted to be polite to sugarcoat the truth.    12    However, too much display of this behavior can muddy the waters of communication. Here are the dangers of sugarcoating:    13    Your job isn't to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions. When messages are wrapped in layers of politeness, the true intention or meaning can be lost — the receiver may not fully grasp the seriousness or urgency of the message. Leave issues unsolved. Sugarcoated messages can prevent important issues from being tackled. When feedback is not clear, it becomes difficult for the receivers to take appropriate action. They may not know exactly what is expected of them or how to go about making the necessary changes.    14    Meanwhile, the present status will continue, leaving important issues unresolved. Get upset and annoyed. Over time, the lack of clarity has a significant effect on relationships and can lead to frustration and complaint, especially when one party has put in an effort to express themselves but feels unacknowledged. The dissatisfaction may lead to their suspicion of the genuineness of the relationship and doubt about whether their efforts are being wasted.    15    While it's natural to want to spare others' feelings, overly polite communication can sometimes do more harm than good.    16    Only in this way can we reduce misunderstandings and have relationships built on trust and clarity. Remember, the goal is not to abandon politeness completely but to balance it with honesty, ensuring that our communications are both kind and effective. A. Reduce trust. B. Cause misinterpretations. C. This avoids displeasing them. D. The uncertainty can lead to inaction. E. This can create a cycle of negative emotions. F. Being polite is generally seen as a positive performance. G. So it is wise to be open for more direct and honest interactions. 第二部分：语言知识运用（共三节，满分54分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The last thing Matthews remembered before waking up in the hospital was riding along a quiet street.

Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully. However, beneath the surface, they're kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford's Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to distinguish. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn't come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a change would not only reduce the pressures related to the "Stanford Duck Syndrome", but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 54. What phenomenon does the "Stanford Duck Syndrome" probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well - being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 55. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. B. By proving focus enhances brain function. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 56. What is the author's main concern about "Stanford Duck Syndrome"? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It causes stress and false ideas about success. C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 57. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. 试卷答案 1.
