I’m Li Hua from Mingqi High School. Today, I’d like to share my observations on our after-school life, which I’ve grouped into three main types. First, some students are deeply engaged in academics — attending tutoring classes or doing extra exercises. While this boosts their grades, it often leads to stress and burnout. Second, others spend most of their free time on digital devices — scrolling through social media or playing games. Though relaxing, this can harm eyesight and reduce face-to-face interaction. Finally, a growing number of students join clubs, sports, or volunteer work. This not only builds teamwork and confidence but also balances study with fun. In my view, a healthy after-school life should mix relaxation, social connection, and personal growth. Let’s make our free time meaningful — not just busy, but truly enriching! Thank you! 【参考范文二】 Good morning, everyone. It’s an honor to share my thoughts on our after-school life. Observing peers, I’ve noticed three distinct patterns, each with unique traits and impacts. The first group focuses on academics: attending tutorials, tackling extra exercises, their desks stacked with reference books. This dedication strengthens subject foundations and exam skills, yet often brings burnout, leaving little time for physical or social growth.The second explores extracurriculars: joining debate clubs, practicing sports, or volunteering. Their days blend creativity and teamwork. For example, Anna, in our drama club, has honed public speaking and empathy—skills beyond textbooks. But overcommitting may distract from core studies without balance.The third leans on digital relaxation: scrolling social media or gaming for hours. While this relieves stress and connects them to trends, excessive screen time disrupts sleep and weakens real-world communication. Each lifestyle reflects our needs, but balance matters. May we find a rhythm nourishing both growth and well-being.

With the right technologies,cars around the world could produce energy as they go. Piezoelectric roads mix traditional asphalt (with new materials.They use vibrations( : from passing cars to produce electricity.Piezoelectricity ()in fact,is nothing new.It was 试题第5页（共12页） 命学科网·学易金卷限是品 invented in 1880.However,it has never been widely used before.The U.K.'s Lancaster University is going to change that.It has been improving the technology,including developing roadside batteries that can store electricity. .Roads that never freeze It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather.A tech company in Israel has developed the Snowless roads.When they detect snow or ice on their surfaces,the roads will heat themselves up, melting the snow or ice away.The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks. .Built-in brain Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them.They could send them updates on weather and traffic jams,and recharge electric cars as they drive. This seems to be a dream,but one American company has almost made it come true.By sensing the weight of a vehicle,the company's smart roads can track the speed of each wheel."We are basically making very large touchpads,"says Tim Sylvester,CEO of the company."But instead of looking for fingers,our roads look for tires."After having collected traffic data,the roads will send it to the drivers. 51.We can learn from the article that"smart roads" A.haven't been developed yet B.enable cars to drive themselves C.have become a reality in some countries D.had been widely built before smart cars came into being 52.According to the article,the Snowless roads have been put to use in A.Israel B.Canada C.the United States D.the United Kingdom 53.The underlined word "them”(in the“Built-in brain?”section)1 efers to“ A.the roads B.the people C.the electric cars D.the traffic data 54.By comparing his company's smart roads to touchpads,Tim Sylvester mainly wanted to show A.how the roads worked B.what the roads could do C.how large the roads were D.how hard it was to develop the roads 试题第6页（共12页） 二学科网·学易金卷两恐瓶极足 55.According to the article,what can the smart roads developed by Sylvester's company do? A.Collect traffic data B.Produce electricity. C.Make it safer to drive in winter.D.Recharge electric cars as they drive. B In the glittering world of Olympic figure skating,where every move is judged under the harshest of lights,failures can be brutally exposed.It was during one such moment that Mario,a once-promising star,stumbled and fell,his dream crashing down with the thud (of the skate blades on the ice. The initial shock was followed by a deep sense of despair.Doubts crept in,whispering that he might never rise again.Each day seemed darker than the last,as Mario struggled to find his footing in a world that suddenly felt so alien and unforgiving of himself. But within this darkness,Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality.He remembered the countless hours of training,the sacrifices made,and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before.Slowly,he picked himself up,dusted off the ice shards of defeat,and began to skate again. This time,it was different.Each fall became a lesson,each mistake an opportunity for growth. He learned to embrace his failures,using them as stepping stones to greater heights.With renewed determination,Mario pushed himself harder,skating with a newfound grace and power. Finally,the day arrived when our hero stepped onto the Olympic ice once more.This time, there was no fear,only focus.As the music swelled and he began his routine,every move flowed with effortless elegance.When the final note rang out,he knew he had done it.This young man had risen from the ashes of failure and embraced success again,stronger and more brilliant than before. As the crowd erupted in applause and the athlete stood center ice,a single tear traced down his cheek.It was a tear of joy,relief,and pride-a testament to the journey he had endured.At that moment,he understood that failure was not the end,but rather a beginning-a chance to rise stronger,wiser,and more determined.And so,Mario smiled,knowing that the road ahead,no matter how bumpy,would be filled with the sweet taste of victory and the knowledge that true success comes from overcoming the toughest challenges. 56.The figure skater felt so unforgiving of himself because_. A.he fell and crashed down B.he failed the competition C.he struggled to stand on the ice D.his skate blades tripped on the ice 试题第7页（共12页） 57.How did the athlete adjust himself back to the ice stage?

A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Chances favor the prepared mind C.Constant dripping wears away the stone.D.What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 60:Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.The Hard Training of a Figure Skater 游 B.A Comeback from Failure in Olympic Skating C.The Harsh Judging in Olympic Figure Skating D.The Sweet Taste of Transient Victory C "Men are from Mars,women from Venus"has become a convenient shorthand for every household debate,from map-reading to loading the dishwasher.Yet beneath the jokes lies a serious question:are the two sexes born with fundamentally different wiring,or have we simply repeated the story until it feels true? 世 Two high-profile sets of scans appear to offer hard proof of a difference.British psychologist Stuart Ritchie reported in 2012 that male brains are,on average,roughly one-tenth heavier than female brains and contain more white-matter.Three years later,Israeli neuroscientist,Daphna Joel added that typical "his"or "her"circuits can't be detected with advanced software,even though every head ultimately contains a mix of both-like shades that vary but never perfectly match : passport sex. Lise Eliot,a neuroscientist at Chicago Medical School,believes such headlines are too dramatic.After re-analyzing thousands of images collected across six countries,she calls the brain “a unisex(不分性别的)ogan”.The numeric gap between group averages,.she insists,is no wider O than the difference between male and female kidneys,and the figures fail to predict how the organ 试题第8页（共12页） .·.… : : actually processes algebra,empathy or parking instructions.Put simply,size decides nothing If body structure is not the real boss,what is?Social experience,argues The Atlantic Classic O O : papers loved eye-catching numbers:a 1970 survey'showed boys beating girls thirteen-to-one on the mathematics SAT,a figure once highlighted by former Harvard president Lawrence Summers as proof of natural male scientific talent.When later student groups offered girls equal laboratory hours,encouraged female teachers and rewrote textbooks to include more real-world problems,the ratio fell to three-to-one,suggesting that opportunity,not body part,writes most of the scoreboard. Margaret McCarthy,a neuropharmacologist at the University of Maryland,applauds Eliot for "forcing the debate forward".She also notes that wiping out every sex difference would sound an O : extreme note.Equal,she reminds us,is not identical;biology may still whisper where society shouts : 61.Why does the author present the findings of Ritchie and Joel? A.To correct statistical errors in psychology. : B.To stress the risk of single-country data sets C.To explain boys'bad habits in reading maps. D.To provide scan evidence of sex differences. O O 62.What can we infer about Daphna Joel's research?

In the history of philosophy,there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling.Boredom,anxiety,depression and despair are some of the descriptions this mood has received.Heid ends up attributing his crisis to the lack of new experiences.The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard calls this the "illusion of crop rotation,the idea that changing the environment frequently can save us from this mood.The German philosopher Martin Heidegger also describes a similar state:one may still be surrounded by the same people and activities,but these no longer engage us as they used to.He calls it a kind of "anxiety"created by nothing in particular.No wonder the psychologist Sigmund Freud once described anxiety as ariddle." But what really drives this mood is not the need for new experiences.It is not even the particulars of our individual lives or the cultures we belong to,but that we have been given a life to live in the first place,the taste of possibility that comes with being alive.This mood is not due to doubts like“Do I have enough hobbies??”or“Have I achieved my goal?”It is related to the more fundamental questions like "What does it mean to be human?""What am I supposed to do with the fact that I was given a life?"and"What kind of life is possible for me?"This is why this mood is likely to appear frequently in our life.This is why once many of our life goals are fulfilled,we begin to wonder what life itselfis for. These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of anguish about who we are and how we should go on.Nevertheless,recognizing that these doubts are there,and that they matter,can at least allow us to know what may be missing,even when everything is good. 66.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To show Markham Heid's perfect life is envied by many people B.To introduce a confusing life crisis that lacks a specific cause C.To suggest special retreats and fitness are the best ways to solve the crisis D.To prove that a family and some leisure activities can never bring happiness 试题第10页（共12页） 二学科网·学易金卷筒瓶限品 67.The author shares Markham Heid's crisis mainly to A.present an argument B.introduce a topic C.make an assumption D.evaluate an event 68.According to the author,how can the crisis in the passage be dealt with? A.By studying philosophy. B.By developing new hobbies. C.By going travelling frequently.D.By embracing the objectless feeling. 69.What does the word "anguish"underlined in the last paragraph most probably mean? A.Pain. B.Wonder C.Direction. D.Achievement. 70.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.What leads to a Life Crisis B.Letting Go of Dark Moods C.Boredom Makes Us Human D.Anxiety Gives Us Life Goals 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 The year I entered my teens,I expressed to my parents my wish to play the piano.Thinking the piano accordion(键盘式手风琴)a reasonable instrument,my parents asked me to attend lessons offered on weekends.After several weeks,my instructor told Mom that I had a knack for music and could be a musician.As a result,for Christmas I received a full-sized Mundinger accordion Then,in 1983,I decided to return to full-time studies.Needing money to support my education,I placed an ad and found a buyer for my accordion.Over the years,I felt a feeling of shame sometimes about that Mundinger my father had paid for by working so hard as a miner.I would recall how much happiness my practicing and playing had given him. By 2013,Dad was in a nursing home.In those situations when an accordion player would be brought in to cheer up the people there,I would see his eyes light up.I began to consider the possibility of being able to bring that happiness to him myself whenever I visited,and I asked my son,Sam,to find me a small accordion.Weeks later,I took the bus to Thompson Pawnbrokers where Sam told me to check out their accordions. When I noted that there were only two full-sized accordions,I asked to check out more in the 试题第11页（共12页） : back of the store,explaining that I wanted something smaller.It was when the clerk placed the instrument on the counter that I realized that the accordion I was looking at was not LIKE the instrument I used to have,it was THE instrument I used to have! Before Dad passed away the following month,I brought the instrument to the nursing home. Before I told Dad how I had come to own it once again,I asked,"Do you know what that is,Papa?" 成 : Although he had dementia(呆)，he answered,,Of course,.Leny！It's your accordion.” 71.What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean?(1 word) 72.Why did the author sell his accordion?(no more than 10 words) 73.Why was the author looking for a small accordion?(no more than 10 words) 74.What happened when the author showed his father the accordion?(no more than 5 words) 游 75.Is there a particular present that holds significant value for you?Put it in your own words.(no more than 25 words) 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 76.假如你是明启中学学生李华。你校即将举办名为After-School Life的主题论坛。你将作为 学生代表在会上发言，分享你对当代高中生课余生活方式的观察与思考。请你写一篇英语发 言稿，内容必须包括： 世 1.将你所观察到的同学们的课余生活方式进行分类： 2.具体描述每一类生活方式的特点及其对同学们的影响。 注意：(1)词数不少于100： (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 : 试题第12页（共12页）第一节听下面5段话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话。仅一遍。Text one, john, is mark coming for tea tomorrow?

A month 【答案】12.A 13.B 14.C 15.B 【原文】Good morning. Today I want to go over the main points about our geography trip to New Zealand. Firstly, why New Zealand when it's so far away? Well, in New Zealand, we can see a huge variety of landscapes—not only mountains, but also volcanoes, and of course, it's surrounded by oceans. So that's why we've chosen it; there's plenty to keep us busy. During our first week, we are staying in a very rural area on the South Island. Most farmers used to keep sheep there, and now there are more cows, and recently also deer. So we will be looking at why that has happened. We are spending our second week in an even more remote part on the West Coast. If the weather is fine, I hope you'll get some good photos of the sunset—it's one of the best places in the world for that. And if you're interested in bird watching, you'll have time for that too. Maybe we'll see some fishing boats as they return after a day at sea. Our last week is in Queenstown. Most tourists have a go at some extreme sports like skydiving and river surfing, but our students prefer a cheaper way, and they really get to see more scenery on foot. Oh, any questions? 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：单项填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 16．—What do you think of the film tonight? —________. I can’t think too highly of it. A． Just so so B．It’s hard to say C．It’s really interesting D．Sounds great 【答案】C 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——你觉得今晚的电影怎么样？——它真的很有趣。我给它的评价再高也不为过。A. Just so so一般般；B. It's hard to say这很难说；C. It’s really interesting真的很有趣；D. Sounds great听起来不错。根据“I can’t think too highly of it.”可知，电影很有趣。故选C。 17．You'll find taxis waiting at the bus station ________ you can hire to reach your host family. A．which B．where C．when D．as 【答案】A 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你可以租等在车站的出租车到达你的旅馆。这是间隔式的定语从句，先行词是taxies,在定语从句中作宾语，所以用which 引导。其他的where和when不能在从句中作宾语，as引导的定语从句作宾语时前面的先行词必须有same或such等，故选A。 18．—Have you ever visited the Opera House? —Yes. When I was in Sydney, I ________ it twice. A．had visited B．visited C．have visited D．would visit 【答案】B 【详解】考查时态。句意：——你去过悉尼歌剧院吗？——是的。我在悉尼时，去过两次。分析句子可知，句子为“When”引导的时间状语从句，从句为一般过去时，故主句中“去过两次悉尼歌剧院”的动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故空格处应用“visit”的过去式“visited”。故选B项。 19．—I didn’t pass the final exam. —I don’t think it’s surprising. You________ on your studies rather than computer games. A．should focus B．should have focused C．must focus D．must have focused 【答案】B 【详解】考查情态动词用法。句意：——我没有通过期末考试。——我认为这并不令人惊讶。你本应该集中精力学习而不是玩电脑游戏。should应该；must必须；此处结合语境表示“本应该做某事，结果没有”应用should have done；must have done表示“必定做了某事”，表示对过去已经发生的事情的肯定推测，不符合语境。故选B。 20．A new ______ to teaching the English language is being used here, and it has turned out to be very helpful to the students. A．way B．means C．approach D．Method 【答案】C 【详解】考查名词的辨析。句意：这里正在采用一种新的英语教学方法，结果对学生很有帮助。A. way路、方法，一般搭配是：way to do/of doing（做…的方法）；B. means 方式、方法、一般搭配是：means of doing(做……的方法)；C. approach 方式、方法，一般搭配是：approach to doing（做……的方法）；D. method方法，一般搭配是：method of（……的方法），综上分析可知答案为C。 21．We were sleeping soundly when the alarm clock ________ and woke everyone. A．went off B．went by C．went over D．went up 【答案】A 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们正在熟睡，这时闹钟响了，把每个人都吵醒了。A. went off爆炸，离去，响起；B. went by时间逝去，从……旁走过；C. went over越过，检查；D. went up上升。根据“woke everyone.”可知，闹钟响起。故选A。 22．The innovative software system, along with detailed user manuals, _____ to thousands of companies worldwide by the end of last month. A．has distributed B．had distributed C．has been distributed D．had been distributed 【答案】D 【详解】考查时态和被动语态。句意：截至上月底，这款创新的软件系统连同详细的用户手册已分发给全球数千家公司。由by the end of last month可知，句子时态用过去完成时，表示过去的过去，软件系统被分发，因此空格处用过去完成时的被动语态had been distributed。故选D。 23．________ these big spenders, there are also teens that prove age is no barrier________ making good use of money. A．In memory of;with B．In contrast to;to C．On behalf of; of D．In harmony with; for 【答案】B 【详解】考查介词（短语）词义辨析。句意：与花钱大手大脚的人形成对比的是，也有青少年证明，年龄并不是合理花钱的障碍。A. In memory of为了纪念；B. In contrast to与……形成对比。C. On behalf of代表；D. In harmony with与……和谐相处。空1：根据句意可知，此处在拿两种人作比较，用in contrast to。空2：此处意为“对做……没有障碍”，表达为no barrier to doing...，故应填介词to。故选B。 24．The government plans to___________ the old tax laws next year to simplify the system. A．absorb B．abuse C．abolish D．advocate 【答案】C 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：政府计划明年废除旧税法，以简化税制。A. absorb 吸收；B. abuse滥用；C. abolish废除；D. advocate提倡。根据题干中“to simplify the system”的目的，结合“old tax laws”的描述可知，此处是指“废除旧税法”，故选C项。 25．With no shortage of gamers, China’s e-sports industry ______ needs to fill positions in roles such as management, coaching and broadcasting. A．horribly B. deliberately C．desperately D．incredibly 【答案】C 【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：中国拥有众多电竞爱好者，而其电子竞技产业迫切需要填补诸如管理、教练和赛事转播等岗位的人才。A. horribly可怕地；B. deliberately故意地；C. desperately非常；D. incredibly难以置信地。根据后文“needs to fill positions in roles such as management, coaching and broadcasting”指电子竞技产业迫切需要填补诸如管理、教练和赛事转播等岗位的人才。故选C。 26．Up to now, more than one generation of children ________ amazed by his bravery and his scientific approach to looking for the truth. A．have been B．had been C．will have been D．has been 【答案】D 【详解】考查主谓一致、动词时态与语态。句意：到目前为止，已有不止一代的孩子被他的勇气和探求真理的科学方法所震撼。此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语“Up to now”可知，此处使用现在完成时，强调动作从过去持续到现在；“more than one +单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词需用单数形式，所以谓语动词为has been amazed。故选D项。 27．Never _______ he anticipate that the girl _______ at the park yesterday would be the one chosen to assist him with his academic English. A．did; encountered B．did; encountering C．had; encountered D．has; encountering 【答案】A 【详解】考查倒装句和非谓语动词。句意：他从未预料到昨天在公园遇到的女孩会是那个被选中帮助他学术英语的人。第一个空：因为句子以否定副词Never开头，需要使用部分倒装结构（助动词+主语+动词原形）。这里anticipate是动词原形，所以需要助动词did或had。第二空the girl后需要定语修饰，描述“昨天在公园遇到的女孩”。“encounter(遇到)”与“女孩”是被动关系（女孩是被遇到的），因此需要用过去分词，故选A。 28．_________ wins this game will receive a fat prize, so everyone can’t wait to see _________ will be the next winner. A．No matter who; whoever B．Whoever; who C．Who; which D．Whichever; who 【答案】B 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：无论谁在这场比赛中获胜，都将获得丰厚的奖品，所以大家都迫不及待地想看看谁会成为下一个获胜者。第一空，引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“无论谁”，用连接代词whoever；第二空，see后为宾语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“谁”，用连接代词who。在名词性从句中，whoever不能与no matter who替换。故选B。 29．New Zealand is a country located on the Australia continent, _________ two big islands and many smaller ones. A．comprised of B．consisted of C．taking up D．composing of 【答案】A 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：新西兰是一个位于澳大利亚大陆上的国家，由两个大岛和许多小岛组成。A. comprised of由……组成；B. consisted of包括，由……组成；C. taking up占用，开始从事；D. composing of由……组成。结合空后的“two big islands and many smaller ones”可知，此处指新西兰由两个大岛和许多小岛组成，排除C项；be comprised of/consist of/be composed of均含“由……组成”之意，空处作状语，应用非谓语形式comprised of/consisting of/composed of。故选A。 30．—Do you mind if I open the window? —________. it's too noisy outside. A．Of course not. B．Why not? C．Go ahead. D．I'd rather you didn't. 【答案】D 【详解】考查交际用语。句意：———你介意我打开窗户吗？———我宁愿你不要这样做。外面太吵了。A. Of course not当然不；B. Why not? 为什么不呢？C. Go ahead去做吧；D. I'd rather you didn't我宁愿你不要这样做。根据it's too noisy outside(外面太吵了)可推断出“我宁愿你不打开窗户”。故选D。 第二节: 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从16~35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 31 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 32 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 33 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 34 , nothing about my term in France was what I 35 . The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 36 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 37 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been an accident in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 38 out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 39 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 40 my native language, I asked not to be 41 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 42 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 43 . I left France with many 44 , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 45 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 46 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 47 seem so different, but end up being so 48 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 49 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

31．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在我的申请信中，我很仔细地表达了我是多么想去法国看看。A. discuss讨论；B. express表达；C. announce宣布；D. argue争论。根据下一句“my excitement really came through in my words. ”（我的激动之情在我的言语中表露无遗。）可知，作者对于去法国学习是非常期盼的，心情很激动，所以在申请信里应该是表达了这种愿望。故选B。 32．考查动词词义辨析。句意：一旦我知道我要去，我能想到的就是国外旅行的乐趣，以及结交各种各样有趣的新朋友。A. approved批准、赞同；B. knew知道；C. warned警告；D. denied否认。根据第一段“Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program.”可知，作者被选入参加交换生留学项目，所以在他知道自己可以能去后，就开始对未来的留学生活有了憧憬；根据语境，“knew”比较合理。故选B。 33．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一旦我知道我要去，我能想到的就是国外旅行的乐趣，以及结交各种各样有趣的新朋友。A. stubborn固执的；B. anxious焦虑的；C. universal普遍的；D. interesting有趣的。根据句中“fun”和“new”可知，作者对未来的憧憬是有乐趣的，结交的新朋友也应该有趣的。故选D。 34．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：虽然旅行令人振奋，与人见面令人激动，但我对在法国的一个学期是没有什么期待的。A. boring无聊的、乏味的；B. upsetting令人心烦意乱的；C. thrilling令人激动的；D. promising 有希望的、有前途的。根据前文的“excitement”和上一句“ all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and interesting friends. ”可知，作者很期待旅行和结交新朋友，结合句中“inspiring”可判断，与人见面对作者而言是令人激动的。故选C。 35．考查动词词义辨析。句意：虽然旅行令人振奋，与人见面令人激动，但我对在法国的一个学期是没有什么期待的。A. expected期待、期盼；B. liked喜欢；C. doubted怀疑；D. feared害怕。句中“while”表示“虽然……但是……”，前后是对比关系，结合本句句意，作者对旅行和交友虽然很期盼，但对于在法国的一学期学习应该是没有期待的。故选A。 36．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我一到巴黎，就受到了一对友善的法国夫妇的欢迎，他们将会是我的寄宿父母。A. greeted欢迎、迎接；B. witnessed见证、目击；C. sponsor赞助；D. support支持。根据句意并结合常识，作为交换生的作者来到法国应该是住在寄宿家庭中，所以当他到达法国时，应该是由寄宿父母来迎接他的。故选A。 37．考查连词词义辨析。句意：我的整个经历是快乐和激动人心的，直到我从我的项目协调员那里听到一个令人震惊的消息。A. since自从、既然；B. until直到；C. when当……时候；D.while 当……时候、尽管。根据下一句“there had been an accident in my host parents’ extended family. ”可知，作者的寄宿家庭之前发生了事故，在知道这个消息之前，作者一直是快乐的，所以这里指作者的快乐一直持续到知道这个消息，“until”比较合理。故选B。 38．考查动词词义辨析。句意：那天下午，我不得不从一个家庭搬到另一个家庭。A. move搬家、移动；B. travel旅行；C. walk走路、散步；D. rush冲。根据上一句“They had to travel outside France for several weeks.”可知，作者的寄宿父母要离开法国几周，所以作者无法继续住在他们家里，不得不搬出来，换到另一个寄宿家庭。故选A。 39．考查名词词义辨析。句意：交换生协调员告诉我，这次我将有一个室友，并问我是否可以和一个说英语的人合住一间卧室。A. housekeeper管家、主妇；B. leader领导；C. colleague同事；D. roommate室友。根据句中的“share a bedroom”和下文“I asked not to be 11 with an English-speaking roommate. ”中的“roommate”可知，这里应该是指作者要有一个室友。故选D。 40．考查动词词义辨析。句意：为了避免说母语的诱惑，我要求不要安排我和说英语的室友住在一起。A. learn学习；B. appreciate欣赏、感激；C. speak说、演讲；D. master掌握。说某种语言用“speak”，根据句中“my native language”及句意，应用“speak”，指“说母语”。故选C。 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：为了避免说母语的诱惑，我要求不要安排我和说英语的室友住在一起。A. contrasted对比；B. evolved进化、演变；C. placed安置、放置；D. fitted适合。根据上一句“ asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker.”可知，协调员会根据学生的需求来安排合适的室友，所以句中作者要求不要被安排和说英语的人同住，“place”符合语境。故选C。 42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我到了我的新房间，我向我的新室友Paolo做了自我介绍。A. added增加、添加；B. introduced介绍；C. devoted奉献；D. adapted适应、改编。根据句意，并结合常识，作者到了新住处并见到了新的室友，应该是先作自我介绍的。故选B。 43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：短短几小时后，我们就知道在这学期剩下的时间里我们将成为好朋友。A. term学期；B. week星期；C. month月；D. vacation假期。根据第一段的“nothing about my term in France ”可知，作者作为交换生会在法国学习一学期，所以他和室友会在这一学期剩下的时间成为好朋友。故选A。 44．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我带着许多故事离开了法国。A. dreams梦想；B. suitcases手提箱；C. presents礼物；D. stories故事。根据下一句“ hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends  16 France we enjoyed together. ”（听我谈论我的巴西朋友保罗，谈论我们工作日的课堂成绩，在镇上度过的夜晚，以及一起探索法国的周末时光）可知，作者会谈论他和室友Paolo一起的经历和故事，所以他是带着这些经历和故事离开法国的。故选D。 45．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当人们问我这次旅行中最喜欢的部分是什么时，他们总是惊讶地听到我谈论我的巴西朋友Paolo，以及我们工作日的课堂成绩，在镇上度过的夜晚，以及一起探索法国的周末时光。A. concerned关心的、挂念的；B. disturbed烦恼的、受干扰的；C. embarrassed尴尬的；D. surprised惊讶的。根据句意，作者对于这次交换学习最喜欢的那部分的回答不太符合人们的固有思维，所以人们的态度是惊讶的。故选D。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：：当人们问我这次旅行中最喜欢的部分是什么时，他们总是惊讶地听到我谈论我的巴西朋友Paolo，以及我们工作日的课堂成绩，在镇上度过的夜晚，以及一起探索法国的周末时光。A. exploring探索；B. analyzing分析；C. describing描写、描述；D. investigating调查。作者和室友都不是法国人，他们在工作日需要在学校学习，周末就可以一起去法国游玩，以进一步熟悉和了解法国，即“探索”法国比较符合语境。故选A。 47．考查情态动词词义辨析。句意：我喜欢人们可能看起来如此不同，但最终却如此相似。A. need需要；B. shall将要、必须；C. must必须、一定；D. can能够、可能。根据第二段作者初次见到Paolo时“I introduced myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs!”可知，Paolo虽然是巴西人，看上去和作者是不同的，但两人的兴趣却是非常相似；同时结合常识可知，很多相似的人可能看上去都是不同的，所以这里用“can”表示“可能”符合语境。故选D。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我喜欢人们可能看起来如此不同，但最终却如此相似。A. generous慷慨的；B. independent独立的；C. similar相似的；D. distant遥远的。根据句中“different”和“but”可知，前后是转折关系，此处应该与“different”意思相反，表示“相似的”。故选C。 49．考查连词词义辨析。句意：我在法国学习的最宝贵的经验不仅仅是尊重法国人民，而是尊重所有的人。A. but但是；B. or或者；C. and并且；D. so所以。not...but...是固定短语，意为：不是……而是……；根据句中“wasn't”并结合句意可知，这里指“不仅仅是尊重法国人民，而是尊重所有的人”，所以用“but”符合语境。故选A。 50．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我会向任何想要体验外国文化并获得有意义的友谊的人推荐一个交换项目。A. instructions指令、使用说明；B. friendships友谊；C. facts事实；D. data数据。根据前文“when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always surprised to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo ”上一句“for your next best friend could be just a continent away.”并结合全文可知，作者认为这次的交换学习最令他喜欢的就是收获了与Paolo的友谊，所以这里用“friendship”符合语境。故选B。 第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分） A Over the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter. Some of them can even drive themselves. Now, our roads have followed suit. In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometers of “smart roads” in use. Across the world, many more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use. •Roads that recharge Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads? With the right technologies, cars around the world could produce energy as they go. Piezoelectric roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (振动) from passing cars to produce electricity. Piezoelectricity (压电), in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before. The U. K.’s Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store electricity. •Roads that never freeze It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company in Israel has developed the Snowless roads. When they detect snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks. •Built-in brain Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send them updates on weather and traffic jams, and recharge electric cars as they drive. This seems to be a dream, but one American company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can track the speed of each wheel. “We are basically making very large touchpads,” says Tim Sylvester, CEO of the company. “But instead of looking for fingers, our roads look for tires.” After having collected traffic data, the roads will send it to the drivers. 51．We can learn from the article that “smart roads” _________. A．haven’t been developed yet B．enable cars to drive themselves C．have become a reality in some countries D．had been widely built before smart cars came into being 52．According to the article, the Snowless roads have been put to use in_________. A．Israel B．Canada C．the United States D．the United Kingdom 53．The underlined word “them” (in the “Built-in brain” section) refers to “_________”. A．the roads B．the people C．the electric cars D．the traffic data 54．By comparing his company’s smart roads to touchpads, Tim Sylvester mainly wanted to show_________. A．how the roads worked B．what the roads could do C．how large the roads were D．how hard it was to develop the roads 55．According to the article, what can the smart roads developed by Sylvester’s company do? A．Collect traffic data. B．Produce electricity. C．Make it safer to drive in winter. D．Recharge electric cars as they drive. 【答案】51．C 52．B 53．B 54．A 55．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍智能道路的发展现状及充电、防结冰、带“内置大脑”三类智能道路技术。 51．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometers of “smart roads” in use. Across the world, many more are being built.(仅在英国，就有约650公里的“智能道路”在投入使用。在全球范围内，还有更多智能道路正在建设中。)”可知，智能道路已在部分国家成为现实。故选C项。 52．细节理解题。根据“Roads that never freeze”部分中的“The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks.(该项目已在加拿大的几条道路及其部分停车场成功测试。)”可知，无冰雪道路已在加拿大投入使用（测试属于实际应用阶段）。故选B项。 53．词句猜测题。根据“Built-in brain”部分中的“Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send them updates on weather and traffic jams.(未来的道路或许能知道有多少人在上面。它们（道路）可以向他们发送天气和交通拥堵的最新信息。)”可知，前一个“them”指代“道路”，后一个“them”指代“在道路上的人”，因为道路发送信息的对象是“人”。故选B项。 54．推理判断题。根据“Built-in brain”部分中的“We are basically making very large touchpads. But instead of looking for fingers, our roads look for tires.(我们本质上是在制造非常大的触控板。但我们的道路不是寻找手指，而是寻找轮胎。)”可知，触控板通过识别手指工作，智能道路通过识别轮胎工作，类比是为了说明道路的工作原理。故选A项。 55．细节理解题。根据“Built-in brain”部分中的“After having collected traffic data, the roads will send it to the drivers.(在收集到交通数据后，这些道路会将数据发送给司机。)”可知，西尔维斯特公司的智能道路能收集交通数据。故选A项。 B In the glittering world of Olympic figure skating, where every move is judged under the harshest of lights, failures can be brutally exposed. It was during one such moment that Mario, a once-promising star, stumbled and fell, his dream crashing down with the thud (砰的一声) of the skate blades on the ice. The initial shock was followed by a deep sense of despair. Doubts crept in, whispering that he might never rise again. Each day seemed darker than the last, as Mario struggled to find his footing in a world that suddenly felt so alien and unforgiving of himself. But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. He remembered the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before. Slowly, he picked himself up, dusted off the ice shards of defeat, and began to skate again. This time, it was different. Each fall became a lesson, each mistake an opportunity for growth. He learned to embrace his failures, using them as stepping stones to greater heights. With renewed determination, Mario pushed himself harder, skating with a newfound grace and power. Finally, the day arrived when our hero stepped onto the Olympic ice once more. This time, there was no fear, only focus. As the music swelled and he began his routine, every move flowed with effortless elegance. When the final note rang out, he knew he had done it. This young man had risen from the ashes of failure and embraced success again, stronger and more brilliant than before. As the crowd erupted in applause and the athlete stood center ice, a single tear traced down his cheek. It was a tear of joy, relief, and pride — a testament to the journey he had endured. At that moment, he understood that failure was not the end, but rather a beginning — a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined. And so, Mario smiled, knowing that the road ahead, no matter how bumpy, would be filled with the sweet taste of victory and the knowledge that true success comes from overcoming the toughest challenges. 56．The figure skater felt so unforgiving of himself because . A．he fell and crashed down B．he failed the competition C．he struggled to stand on the ice D．his skate blades tripped on the ice 57．How did the athlete adjust himself back to the ice stage? A．He embraced all the tests to the journey. B．He acknowledged the failure and cheered himself up. C．He practiced more than before and endured all pains and hurts. D．He changed himself into a stronger, smarter and more powerful man. 58．Mario is a young man with the merit of________. A．toughness and sentiments B．hard work and elegance C．perseverance and resilience D．generosity and humility 59．What can we learn from this story? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Chances favor the prepared mind. C．Constant dripping wears away the stone. D．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 60: Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Hard Training of a Figure Skater B. A Comeback from Failure in Olympic Skating C. The Harsh Judging in Olympic Figure Skating D. The Sweet Taste of Transient Victory 【答案】56．B 57．B 58．C 59．D 60.B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位花滑运动员经历赛场失利后，心里上一度绝望并对自己产生怀疑，但经过自我调整，最终重获辉煌的故事。 56．细节理解题。根据第一段“It was during one such moment that Mario, a once-promising star, stumbled and fell, his dream crashing down with the thud (砰的一声) of the skate blades on the ice.(就在这样一个关键时刻，马里奥——这位曾经前途无量的明星——失足摔倒了，他的梦想也随之轰然破碎，伴随着冰刀在冰面上的撞击声而彻底破灭)”可知，这位花样滑冰运动员对自己苛责，因为他在这次比赛中失利了。故选B。 57．细节理解题。根据第三段“But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. He remembered the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before. Slowly, he picked himself up, dusted off the ice shards of defeat, and began to skate again.(但在这黑暗之中，马里奥开始原谅自己，并接受了现实。他回想起无数的训练时光、所做出的牺牲以及曾经那炽热的对这项运动的热爱。慢慢地，他重新振作起来，拂去失败留下的冰屑，再次踏上了滑冰的旅程)”可知，这位运动员他接受了失败的事实，并为自己加油鼓劲。故选B。 58．推理判断题。根据第三段“But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. He remembered the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before. Slowly, he picked himself up, dusted off the ice shards of defeat, and began to skate again.(但在这黑暗之中，马里奥开始原谅自己，并接受了现实。他回想起无数的训练时光、所做出的牺牲以及曾经那炽热的对这项运动的热爱。慢慢地，他重新振作起来，拂去失败留下的冰屑，再次踏上了滑冰的旅程)”以及第四段“He learned to embrace his failures, using them as stepping stones to greater heights. With renewed determination, Mario pushed himself harder, skating with a newfound grace and power.(他学会了坦然接受失败，并将其作为通往更高峰的垫脚石。马里奥重拾决心，更加努力地鞭策自己，滑行时尽显前所未有的优雅与力量)”可知，马里奥是一位具有坚韧不拔和韧性的年轻人。故选C。 59．推理判断题。根据最后一段“At that moment, he understood that failure was not the end, but rather a beginning — a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined. And so, Mario smiled, knowing that the road ahead, no matter how bumpy, would be filled with the sweet taste of victory and the knowledge that true success comes from overcoming the toughest challenges.(就在那一刻，他明白了失败并非终点，而是一个新的开始——这是一个让自己变得更强大、更睿智、更有决心的机会。于是，马里奥微笑着，他知道前方的道路，无论多么崎岖，都将充满胜利的甜蜜滋味，并且他会明白真正的成功来自于战胜最艰难的挑战)”以及文章讲述了一位花滑运动员经历赛场失利后，心里上一度绝望并对自己产生怀疑，但经过自我调整，最终重获辉煌的故事。可知，故事告诉我们“那些杀不死你的东西只会让你变得更强大”。故选D。 60. 主旨大意题。文章围绕马里奥在奥运会花样滑冰赛场失误跌倒后，走出绝望、重新训练，最终重返赛场并取得成功的复出经历展开，B选项精准概括了“从失败中复出”这一核心主线。 A选项：文中仅提及马里奥有过大量训练，并未将“艰苦训练”作为主要内容，属于以偏概全。 C选项：“严苛的裁判标准”只是文章开头的背景铺垫，并非全文重点，不能作为标题。D选项：文章强调的是战胜挫折后的长久成长与成功，而非“短暂的胜利”，且该选项偏离核心情节。故选B。 C “Men are from Mars, women from Venus” has become a convenient shorthand for every household debate, from map-reading to loading the dishwasher. Yet beneath the jokes lies a serious question: are the two sexes born with fundamentally different wiring, or have we simply repeated the story until it feels true? Two high-profile sets of scans appear to offer hard proof of a difference. British psychologist Stuart Ritchie reported in 2012 that male brains are, on average, roughly one-tenth heavier than female brains and contain more white-matter. Three years later, Israeli neuroscientist, Daphna Joel added that typical “his” or “her” circuits can’t be detected with advanced software, even though every head ultimately contains a mix of both — like shades that vary but never perfectly match passport sex. Lise Eliot, a neuroscientist at Chicago Medical School, believes such headlines are too dramatic. After re-analyzing thousands of images collected across six countries, she calls the brain “a unisex (不分性别的) organ”. The numeric gap between group averages, she insists, is no wider than the difference between male and female kidneys, and the figures fail to predict how the organ actually processes algebra, empathy or parking instructions. Put simply, size decides nothing. If body structure is not the real boss, what is? Social experience, argues The Atlantic Classic papers loved eye-catching numbers: a 1970 survey’ showed boys beating girls thirteen-to-one on the mathematics SAT, a figure once highlighted by former Harvard president Lawrence Summers as proof of natural male scientific talent. When later student groups offered girls equal laboratory hours, encouraged female teachers and rewrote textbooks to include more real-world problems, the ratio fell to three-to-one, suggesting that opportunity, not body part, writes most of the scoreboard. Margaret McCarthy, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Maryland, applauds Eliot for “forcing the debate forward”. She also notes that wiping out every sex difference would sound an extreme note. Equal, she reminds us, is not identical; biology may still whisper where society shouts. 61．Why does the author present the findings of Ritchie and Joel? A．To correct statistical errors in psychology. B．To stress the risk of single-country data sets. C．To explain boys’ bad habits in reading maps. D．To provide scan evidence of sex differences. 62. What can we infer about Daphna Joel’s research? A. Advanced software can easily tell male and female brain circuits apart B. Everyone’s brain has a combination of male and female brain features C. Male and female brain traits always match a person’s registered sex D. Male and female brain circuits have no difference at all 63．What is implied by Eliot’s re-analysis of brain volume? A．Brain size can somehow decide sex rules. B．Males do well in tackling complex tasks. C．Generation gaps outrun between-sex gaps. D．It cannot tell how a person will think or act. 64．What can we infer from the falling math score gap after 1970? A．Equal chances narrow the score gap. B．Boys are now losing interest in STEM. C．Standardized tests are no longer trusted. D．Biology still limits girls’ physics scores. 65．What might be McCarthy’s attitude to erasing sex differences? A．Favorable. B．Disapproving. C．Unclear. D．Indifferent. 【答案】61．D 62．B 63.D 64．A 65．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过讨论男女差异的生理与社交成因，指出大脑结构差异不足以证明天生不同，机会平等更重要，但生物学因素仍不可忽视。 61． 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Two high-profile sets of scans appear to offer hard proof of a difference. British psychologist Stuart Ritchie reported in 2012 that male brains are, on average, roughly one-tenth heavier than female brains and contain more white-matter. Three years later, Israeli neuroscientist (神经学家) Daphna Joel added that typical “his” or “her” circuits can’t be detected with advanced software, even though every head ultimately contains a mix of both — like shades that vary but never perfectly match passport sex.(两组备受瞩目的扫描结果似乎提供了差异的确凿证据。英国心理学家斯图尔特·里奇在2012年报告称，男性的大脑平均比女性大脑重约十分之一，且含有更多的白质。三年后，以色列神经科学家达夫纳·乔尔补充说，即使使用先进的软件，也无法检测到典型的“他的”或“她的”神经回路，尽管每个人的大脑最终都包含两者的混合——就像色调各异但永远不会与护照上的性别完全匹配)”可推知，作者展示里奇和乔尔的发现是为了提供性别差异的扫描证据。故选D项。 62． 推理判断题。根据题干关键词 Daphna Joel 定位到第二段“Israeli neuroscientist, Daphna Joel added that typical ‘his’ or ‘her’ circuits can’t be detected with advanced software, even though every head ultimately contains a mix of both — like shades that vary but never perfectly match passport sex”。原文明确指出每个人的大脑本质上都混合了男性和女性两种特质，这与选项B的表述直接对应。A选项：与原文“can’t be detected with advanced software”表述相反，属于反向干扰。C选项：与原文“never perfectly match passport sex”相悖，排除。D选项：“have no difference at all”表述过于绝对，原文仅说明大脑是两种特质的混合，并非完全无差异。故选B。 63．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Lise Eliot, a neuroscientist at Chicago Medical School, believes such headlines are too dramatic. After re-analyzing thousands of images collected across six countries, she calls the brain “a unisex (不分性别的) organ”. The numeric gap between group averages, she insists, is no wider than the difference between male and female kidneys, and the figures fail to predict how the organ actually processes algebra, empathy or parking instructions. Put simply, size decides nothing.(芝加哥医学院的神经科学家莉丝·艾略特认为这样的标题过于夸张。在重新分析了来自六个国家的数千张图像后，她称大脑为“一个不分性别的器官”。她坚持认为，群体平均值之间的数字差距并不比男性和女性肾脏之间的差异更大，而且这些数字无法预测该器官实际上如何处理代数、同理心或停车指令。简而言之，大小决定不了什么)”可推知，艾略特重新分析大脑体积后，认为大脑体积不能预测一个人将如何思考或行动。故选D项。 64．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When later student groups offered girls equal laboratory hours, encouraged female teachers and rewrote textbooks to include more real-world problems, the ratio fell to three-to-one, suggesting that opportunity, not body part, writes most of the scoreboard.(后来，学生团体为女孩提供平等的实验室时间，鼓励女教师，并重写教科书以纳入更多现实问题，这一比例降至三比一，这表明是机会，而不是身体部位，在分数板上占据了主导地位)”可知，从1970年后数学成绩差距的缩小可以推断出，平等的机会缩小了分数差距。故选A项。 65．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Margaret McCarthy, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Maryland, applauds Eliot for “forcing the debate forward”. She also notes that wiping out every sex difference would sound an extreme note. Equal, she reminds us, is not identical; biology may still whisper where society shouts.(马里兰大学的神经药理学家玛格丽特·麦卡锡称赞艾略特“推动了辩论的进展”。她还指出，消除所有的性别差异听起来有些极端。她提醒我们，平等并不意味着相同；在社会大声疾呼的地方，生物学可能仍在低语)”可知，麦卡锡认为消除所有的性别差异听起来有些极端。由此推知，麦卡锡对消除性别差异的态度是不赞成的。故选B项。 D In a recent article, Markham Heid shares with us an unusual life crisis. At 41, he has built what many would regard as the good life: he has a family; he is healthy, productive, and creative; he has time to travel, read, exercise, and see friends. Yet, he feels that “something is off.” To fight against this feeling, some of his friends have turned to special retreats, while others try to solve it through fitness. What makes Heid’s problem somewhat odd is that it does not seem to arise from anything specific. If he had lost his job, had no time for himself, or was struggling in his marriage, the feeling would be understandable. In the history of philosophy, there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling. Boredom, anxiety, depression and despair are some of the descriptions this mood has received. Heid ends up attributing his crisis to the lack of new experiences. The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard calls this the “illusion of crop rotation”, the idea that changing the environment frequently can save us from this mood. The German philosopher Martin Heidegger also describes a similar state: one may still be surrounded by the same people and activities, but these no longer engage us as they used to. He calls it a kind of “anxiety” created by nothing in particular. No wonder the psychologist Sigmund Freud once described anxiety as a “riddle.” But what really drives this mood is not the need for new experiences. It is not even the particulars of our individual lives or the cultures we belong to, but that we have been given a life to live in the first place, the taste of possibility that comes with being alive. This mood is not due to doubts like “Do I have enough hobbies?” or “Have I achieved my goal?” It is related to the more fundamental questions like “What does it mean to be human?” “What am I supposed to do with the fact that I was given a life?” and “What kind of life is possible for me?” This is why this mood is likely to appear frequently in our life. This is why once many of our life goals are fulfilled, we begin to wonder what life itself is for. These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of anguish about who we are and how we should go on. Nevertheless, recognizing that these doubts are there, and that they matter, can at least allow us to know what may be missing, even when everything is good. 66. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show Markham Heid’s perfect life is envied by many people B. To introduce a confusing life crisis that lacks a specific cause C. To suggest special retreats and fitness are the best ways to solve the crisis D. To prove that a family and some leisure activities can never bring happiness 67．The author shares Markham Heid’s crisis mainly to________. A．present an argument B．introduce a topic C．make an assumption D．evaluate an event 68．According to the author, how can the crisis in the passage be dealt with? A．By studying philosophy. B．By developing new hobbies. C．By going travelling frequently. D．By embracing the objectless feeling. 69．What does the word “anguish” underlined in the last paragraph most probably mean? A．Pain. B．Wonder. C．Direction. D．Achievement. 70．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．What leads to a Life Crisis B．Letting Go of Dark Moods C．Boredom Makes Us Human D．Anxiety Gives Us Life Goals 【答案】66. B 67．B 68．D 69．A 70．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了以Markham Heid的危机为例，探讨一种强大但无明确对象的情绪及其产生原因和应对方式。 66.推理判断题。第一段先描述Markham Heid拥有多数人眼中的美满生活，再转折指出他莫名感到“不对劲”，且这种感受并非源于失业、婚姻不顺等具体问题，核心是呈现一种无明确诱因的困惑生活危机。A选项：段落提及他的“好生活”是为了反衬后续的心理危机，而非强调“被他人羡慕”，属于偏离主旨。C选项：文中只是说他的朋友用静修、健身的方式应对，并未表明这是“最佳方法”，属于过度推断。D选项：表述过于绝对，且与段落“拥有美满生活却仍有心理困扰”的逻辑相悖。故选B。 67．推理判断题。根据第一段“In a recent article, Markham Heid shares with us an unusual life crisis.(在最近的一篇文章中，Markham Heid与我们分享了一场不寻常的生活危机)”以及后文对这种无明确原因的情绪的探讨可知，作者分享Markham Heid的危机主要是为了引入一个话题。故选B。 68．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nevertheless, recognizing that these doubts are there, and that they matter, can at least allow us to know what may be missing, even when everything is good.(尽管如此，认识到这些疑虑的存在，并且它们很重要，至少可以让我们知道，即使一切都好，可能还缺少什么)”可知，作者认为要接受这种无明确对象的情绪，这样才能知道可能缺少什么。故选D。 69．词义猜测题。根据最后一段“These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of anguish about who we are and how we should go on.(这些问题永远没有最终的答案，它们总是会让我们对自己是谁以及该如何继续下去产生一种巨大的anguish感)”可知，这些问题没有答案，会让人对自己和未来感到痛苦，“anguish”意思是“痛苦”。A. Pain痛苦；B. Wonder惊奇；C. Direction方向；D. Achievement成就。故选A。 70．主旨大意题。根据第二段“In the history of philosophy, there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling. (在哲学史中，人们曾多次试图去理解这种强大却无具体对象感的现象)”并结合文章讲述一位生活顺利的中年人却陷入无明显原因的“人生危机”可知，通过哲学与心理学视角，作者指出这种“无对象的焦虑”源于对生命意义的追问，而非外部环境。认识这种情绪本身，有助于理解生活的缺失与价值。所以，C选项“Boredom Makes Us Human(无聊使我们成为人类)”最符合文章标题。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第四部分：写作 （共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 The year I entered my teens, I expressed to my parents my wish to play the piano. Thinking the piano accordion (键盘式手风琴) a reasonable instrument, my parents asked me to attend lessons offered on weekends. After several weeks, my instructor told Mom that I had a knack for music and could be a musician. As a result, for Christmas I received a full- sized Mundinger accordion. Then, in 1983, I decided to return to full-time studies. Needing money to support my education, I placed an ad and found a buyer for my accordion. Over the years, I felt a feeling of shame sometimes about that Mundinger my father had paid for by working so hard as a miner. I would recall how much happiness my practicing and playing had given him. By 2013, Dad was in a nursing home. In those situations when an accordion player would be brought in to cheer up the people there, I would see his eyes light up. I began to consider the possibility of being able to bring that happiness to him myself whenever I visited, and I asked my son, Sam, to find me a small accordion. Weeks later, I took the bus to Thompson Pawnbrokers where Sam told me to check out their accordions. When I noted that there were only two full-sized accordions, I asked to check out more in the back of the store, explaining that I wanted something smaller. It was when the clerk placed the instrument on the counter that I realized that the accordion I was looking at was not LIKE the instrument I used to have, it was THE instrument I used to have! Before Dad passed away the following month, I brought the instrument to the nursing home. Before I told Dad how I had come to own it once again, I asked, “Do you know what that is, Papa?” Although he had dementia (痴呆), he answered, “Of course, Lenny! It’s your accordion.” 71．What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean? (1 word) 72．Why did the author sell his accordion? (no more than 10 words) 73．Why was the author looking for a small accordion? (no more than 10 words) 74．What happened when the author showed his father the accordion? (no more than 5 words) 75．Is there a particular present that holds significant value for you? Put it in your own words. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】71．Talent. 72．Because he needed money to support his education. 73．To play music for his father./To make his father happy. 74．His father recognized it./His father still remembered it. 75．Yes. My friend once gave a photo book filled with pictures of us. It always reminds me of the good times we spent together. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者年少时获父亲辛苦挣钱买的手风琴，后为凑学费变卖，多年心怀愧疚。父亲患病后，他为让父亲开心寻购小手风琴，竟意外找回原琴，父亲虽患痴呆仍认出了它。 71．考查词句猜测。根据划线词后文“for music and could be a musician(从事音乐工作，并且可以成为一名音乐家)”可知，可以成为音乐家，说明作者有音乐天赋。故划线词意思是“天赋”。故答案为Talent. 72．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Needing money to support my education, I placed an ad and found a buyer for my accordion.(由于需要钱来支付我的学费，我发布了一则广告，最终找到了一个买家来购买我的手风琴)”可知，作者卖掉他的手风琴因为他需要钱来支付他的教育费用。故答案为Because he needed money to support his education. 73．考查细节理解。根据第三段“I began to consider the possibility of being able to bring that happiness to him myself whenever I visited, and I asked my son, Sam, to find me a small accordion.(我开始思考这样一个可能性：每次去探望他时，我都能亲自给他带来那份快乐。于是，我让我的儿子萨姆帮我找一台小型手风琴)”可知，作者想要一把小手风琴来为他的父亲演奏音乐/让他的父亲开心。故答案为To play music for his father./To make his father happy. 74．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Of course, Lenny! It’s your accordion.(当然啦，莱尼！这是你的手风琴)”可知，当作者把手风琴展示给父亲看，他的父亲认出了它/他的父亲仍然记得它。故答案为His father recognized it./His father still remembered it. 75．考查开放题。根据“有没有某件特别的礼物对你来说意义非凡？请用你自己的话来描述。”可回答：是的。我的朋友曾经送给我一本装满我们照片的相册。它总是让我想起我们一起度过的美好时光。故答案为Yes. My friend once gave a photo book filled with pictures of us. It always reminds me of the good times we spent together. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 76. 假如你是明启中学学生李华。你校即将举办名为“After-School Life”的主题论坛。你将作为学生代表在会上发言，分享你对当代高中生课余生活方式的观察与思考。请你写一篇英语发言稿，内容必须包括： 1. 将你所观察到的同学们的课余生活方式进行分类； 2. 具体描述每一类生活方式的特点及其对同学们的影响。 注意：(1) 词数不少于100; （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 【答案】One possible version: Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Hua from Mingqi High School. Today, I’d like to share my observations on our after-school life, which I’ve grouped into three main types. First, some students are deeply engaged in academics — attending tutoring classes or doing extra exercises. While this boosts their grades, it often leads to stress and burnout. Second, others spend most of their free time on digital devices — scrolling through social media or playing games. Though relaxing, this can harm eyesight and reduce face-to-face interaction. Finally, a growing number of students join clubs, sports, or volunteer work. This not only builds teamwork and confidence but also balances study with fun. In my view, a healthy after-school life should mix relaxation, social connection, and personal growth. Let’s make our free time meaningful — not just busy, but truly enriching!

In my application letter, I was careful to 31 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 32 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 33 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 34 , nothing about my term in France was what I 35 . The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 36 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 37 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been an accident in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 38 out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 39 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 40 my native language, I asked not to be 41 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 42 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 43 . I left France with many 44 , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 45 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 46 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 47 seem so different, but end up being so 48 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 49 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

Some of them can even drive themselves. Now, our roads have followed suit. In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometers of “smart roads” in use. Across the world, many more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use. •Roads that recharge Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads? With the right technologies, cars around the world could produce energy as they go. Piezoelectric roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (振动) from passing cars to produce electricity. Piezoelectricity (压电), in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before. The U. K.’s Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store electricity. •Roads that never freeze It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company in Israel has developed the Snowless roads. When they detect snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks. •Built-in brain Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send them updates on weather and traffic jams, and recharge electric cars as they drive. This seems to be a dream, but one American company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can track the speed of each wheel. “We are basically making very large touchpads,” says Tim Sylvester, CEO of the company. “But instead of looking for fingers, our roads look for tires.” After having collected traffic data, the roads will send it to the drivers. 51．We can learn from the article that “smart roads” _________. A．haven’t been developed yet B．enable cars to drive themselves C．have become a reality in some countries D．had been widely built before smart cars came into being 52．According to the article, the Snowless roads have been put to use in_________. A．Israel B．Canada C．the United States D．the United Kingdom 53．The underlined word “them” (in the “Built-in brain” section) refers to “_________”. A．the roads B．the people C．the electric cars D．the traffic data 54．By comparing his company’s smart roads to touchpads, Tim Sylvester mainly wanted to show_________. A．how the roads worked B．what the roads could do C．how large the roads were D．how hard it was to develop the roads 55．According to the article, what can the smart roads developed by Sylvester’s company do? A．Collect traffic data. B．Produce electricity. C．Make it safer to drive in winter. D．Recharge electric cars as they drive. B In the glittering world of Olympic figure skating, where every move is judged under the harshest of lights, failures can be brutally exposed. It was during one such moment that Mario, a once-promising star, stumbled and fell, his dream crashing down with the thud (砰的一声) of the skate blades on the ice. The initial shock was followed by a deep sense of despair. Doubts crept in, whispering that he might never rise again. Each day seemed darker than the last, as Mario struggled to find his footing in a world that suddenly felt so alien and unforgiving of himself. But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. He remembered the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before. Slowly, he picked himself up, dusted off the ice shards of defeat, and began to skate again. This time, it was different. Each fall became a lesson, each mistake an opportunity for growth. He learned to embrace his failures, using them as stepping stones to greater heights. With renewed determination, Mario pushed himself harder, skating with a newfound grace and power. Finally, the day arrived when our hero stepped onto the Olympic ice once more. This time, there was no fear, only focus. As the music swelled and he began his routine, every move flowed with effortless elegance. When the final note rang out, he knew he had done it. This young man had risen from the ashes of failure and embraced success again, stronger and more brilliant than before. As the crowd erupted in applause and the athlete stood center ice, a single tear traced down his cheek. It was a tear of joy, relief, and pride — a testament to the journey he had endured. At that moment, he understood that failure was not the end, but rather a beginning — a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined. And so, Mario smiled, knowing that the road ahead, no matter how bumpy, would be filled with the sweet taste of victory and the knowledge that true success comes from overcoming the toughest challenges. 56．The figure skater felt so unforgiving of himself because . A．he fell and crashed down B．he failed the competition C．he struggled to stand on the ice D．his skate blades tripped on the ice 57．How did the athlete adjust himself back to the ice stage? A．He embraced all the tests to the journey. B．He acknowledged the failure and cheered himself up. C．He practiced more than before and endured all pains and hurts. D．He changed himself into a stronger, smarter and more powerful man. 58．Mario is a young man with the merit of________. A．toughness and sentiments B．hard work and elegance C．perseverance and resilience D．generosity and humility 59．What can we learn from this story? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Chances favor the prepared mind. C．Constant dripping wears away the stone. D．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 60: Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Hard Training of a Figure Skater B. A Comeback from Failure in Olympic Skating C. The Harsh Judging in Olympic Figure Skating D. The Sweet Taste of Transient Victory C “Men are from Mars, women from Venus” has become a convenient shorthand for every household debate, from map-reading to loading the dishwasher. Yet beneath the jokes lies a serious question: are the two sexes born with fundamentally different wiring, or have we simply repeated the story until it feels true? Two high-profile sets of scans appear to offer hard proof of a difference. British psychologist Stuart Ritchie reported in 2012 that male brains are, on average, roughly one-tenth heavier than female brains and contain more white-matter. Three years later, Israeli neuroscientist, Daphna Joel added that typical “his” or “her” circuits can’t be detected with advanced software, even though every head ultimately contains a mix of both — like shades that vary but never perfectly match passport sex. Lise Eliot, a neuroscientist at Chicago Medical School, believes such headlines are too dramatic. After re-analyzing thousands of images collected across six countries, she calls the brain “a unisex (不分性别的) organ”. The numeric gap between group averages, she insists, is no wider than the difference between male and female kidneys, and the figures fail to predict how the organ actually processes algebra, empathy or parking instructions. Put simply, size decides nothing. If body structure is not the real boss, what is? Social experience, argues The Atlantic Classic papers loved eye-catching numbers: a 1970 survey’ showed boys beating girls thirteen-to-one on the mathematics SAT, a figure once highlighted by former Harvard president Lawrence Summers as proof of natural male scientific talent. When later student groups offered girls equal laboratory hours, encouraged female teachers and rewrote textbooks to include more real-world problems, the ratio fell to three-to-one, suggesting that opportunity, not body part, writes most of the scoreboard. Margaret McCarthy, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Maryland, applauds Eliot for “forcing the debate forward”. She also notes that wiping out every sex difference would sound an extreme note. Equal, she reminds us, is not identical; biology may still whisper where society shouts. 61．Why does the author present the findings of Ritchie and Joel? A．To correct statistical errors in psychology. B．To stress the risk of single-country data sets. C．To explain boys’ bad habits in reading maps. D．To provide scan evidence of sex differences. 62. What can we infer about Daphna Joel’s research? A. Advanced software can easily tell male and female brain circuits apart B. Everyone’s brain has a combination of male and female brain features C. Male and female brain traits always match a person’s registered sex D. Male and female brain circuits have no difference at all 63．What is implied by Eliot’s re-analysis of brain volume? A．Brain size can somehow decide sex rules. B．Males do well in tackling complex tasks. C．Generation gaps outrun between-sex gaps. D．It cannot tell how a person will think or act. 64．What can we infer from the falling math score gap after 1970? A．Equal chances narrow the score gap. B．Boys are now losing interest in STEM. C．Standardized tests are no longer trusted. D．Biology still limits girls’ physics scores. 65．What might be McCarthy’s attitude to erasing sex differences? A．Favorable. B．Disapproving. C．Unclear. D．Indifferent. D In a recent article, Markham Heid shares with us an unusual life crisis. At 41, he has built what many would regard as the good life: he has a family; he is healthy, productive, and creative; he has time to travel, read, exercise, and see friends. Yet, he feels that “something is off.” To fight against this feeling, some of his friends have turned to special retreats, while others try to solve it through fitness. What makes Heid’s problem somewhat odd is that it does not seem to arise from anything specific. If he had lost his job, had no time for himself, or was struggling in his marriage, the feeling would be understandable. In the history of philosophy, there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling. Boredom, anxiety, depression and despair are some of the descriptions this mood has received. Heid ends up attributing his crisis to the lack of new experiences. The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard calls this the “illusion of crop rotation”, the idea that changing the environment frequently can save us from this mood. The German philosopher Martin Heidegger also describes a similar state: one may still be surrounded by the same people and activities, but these no longer engage us as they used to. He calls it a kind of “anxiety” created by nothing in particular. No wonder the psychologist Sigmund Freud once described anxiety as a “riddle.” But what really drives this mood is not the need for new experiences. It is not even the particulars of our individual lives or the cultures we belong to, but that we have been given a life to live in the first place, the taste of possibility that comes with being alive. This mood is not due to doubts like “Do I have enough hobbies?” or “Have I achieved my goal?” It is related to the more fundamental questions like “What does it mean to be human?” “What am I supposed to do with the fact that I was given a life?” and “What kind of life is possible for me?” This is why this mood is likely to appear frequently in our life. This is why once many of our life goals are fulfilled, we begin to wonder what life itself is for. These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of anguish about who we are and how we should go on. Nevertheless, recognizing that these doubts are there, and that they matter, can at least allow us to know what may be missing, even when everything is good. 66.

Thinking the piano accordion (键盘式手风琴) a reasonable instrument, my parents asked me to attend lessons offered on weekends. After several weeks, my instructor told Mom that I had a knack for music and could be a musician. As a result, for Christmas I received a full- sized Mundinger accordion. Then, in 1983, I decided to return to full-time studies. Needing money to support my education, I placed an ad and found a buyer for my accordion. Over the years, I felt a feeling of shame sometimes about that Mundinger my father had paid for by working so hard as a miner. I would recall how much happiness my practicing and playing had given him. By 2013, Dad was in a nursing home. In those situations when an accordion player would be brought in to cheer up the people there, I would see his eyes light up. I began to consider the possibility of being able to bring that happiness to him myself whenever I visited, and I asked my son, Sam, to find me a small accordion. Weeks later, I took the bus to Thompson Pawnbrokers where Sam told me to check out their accordions. When I noted that there were only two full-sized accordions, I asked to check out more in the back of the store, explaining that I wanted something smaller. It was when the clerk placed the instrument on the counter that I realized that the accordion I was looking at was not LIKE the instrument I used to have, it was THE instrument I used to have! Before Dad passed away the following month, I brought the instrument to the nursing home. Before I told Dad how I had come to own it once again, I asked, “Do you know what that is, Papa?” Although he had dementia (痴呆), he answered, “Of course, Lenny!

In my application letter, I was careful to 31 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 32 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 33 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 34 , nothing about my term in France was what I 35 . The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 36 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 37 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been an accident in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 38 out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 39 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 40 my native language, I asked not to be 41 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 42 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 43 . I left France with many 44 , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 45 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 46 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 47 seem so different, but end up being so 48 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 49 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

Some of them can even drive themselves. Now, our roads have followed suit. In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometers of “smart roads” in use. Across the world, many more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use. •Roads that recharge Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads? With the right technologies, cars around the world could produce energy as they go. Piezoelectric roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (振动) from passing cars to produce electricity. Piezoelectricity (压电), in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before. The U. K.’s Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store electricity. •Roads that never freeze It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company in Israel has developed the Snowless roads. When they detect snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks. •Built-in brain Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send them updates on weather and traffic jams, and recharge electric cars as they drive. This seems to be a dream, but one American company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can track the speed of each wheel. “We are basically making very large touchpads,” says Tim Sylvester, CEO of the company. “But instead of looking for fingers, our roads look for tires.” After having collected traffic data, the roads will send it to the drivers. 51．We can learn from the article that “smart roads” _________. A．haven’t been developed yet B．enable cars to drive themselves C．have become a reality in some countries D．had been widely built before smart cars came into being 52．According to the article, the Snowless roads have been put to use in_________. A．Israel B．Canada C．the United States D．the United Kingdom 53．The underlined word “them” (in the “Built-in brain” section) refers to “_________”. A．the roads B．the people C．the electric cars D．the traffic data 54．By comparing his company’s smart roads to touchpads, Tim Sylvester mainly wanted to show_________. A．how the roads worked B．what the roads could do C．how large the roads were D．how hard it was to develop the roads 55．According to the article, what can the smart roads developed by Sylvester’s company do? A．Collect traffic data. B．Produce electricity. C．Make it safer to drive in winter. D．Recharge electric cars as they drive. B In the glittering world of Olympic figure skating, where every move is judged under the harshest of lights, failures can be brutally exposed. It was during one such moment that Mario, a once-promising star, stumbled and fell, his dream crashing down with the thud (砰的一声) of the skate blades on the ice. The initial shock was followed by a deep sense of despair. Doubts crept in, whispering that he might never rise again. Each day seemed darker than the last, as Mario struggled to find his footing in a world that suddenly felt so alien and unforgiving of himself. But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. He remembered the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before. Slowly, he picked himself up, dusted off the ice shards of defeat, and began to skate again. This time, it was different. Each fall became a lesson, each mistake an opportunity for growth. He learned to embrace his failures, using them as stepping stones to greater heights. With renewed determination, Mario pushed himself harder, skating with a newfound grace and power. Finally, the day arrived when our hero stepped onto the Olympic ice once more. This time, there was no fear, only focus. As the music swelled and he began his routine, every move flowed with effortless elegance. When the final note rang out, he knew he had done it. This young man had risen from the ashes of failure and embraced success again, stronger and more brilliant than before. As the crowd erupted in applause and the athlete stood center ice, a single tear traced down his cheek. It was a tear of joy, relief, and pride — a testament to the journey he had endured. At that moment, he understood that failure was not the end, but rather a beginning — a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined. And so, Mario smiled, knowing that the road ahead, no matter how bumpy, would be filled with the sweet taste of victory and the knowledge that true success comes from overcoming the toughest challenges. 56．The figure skater felt so unforgiving of himself because . A．he fell and crashed down B．he failed the competition C．he struggled to stand on the ice D．his skate blades tripped on the ice 57．How did the athlete adjust himself back to the ice stage? A．He embraced all the tests to the journey. B．He acknowledged the failure and cheered himself up. C．He practiced more than before and endured all pains and hurts. D．He changed himself into a stronger, smarter and more powerful man. 58．Mario is a young man with the merit of________. A．toughness and sentiments B．hard work and elegance C．perseverance and resilience D．generosity and humility 59．What can we learn from this story? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Chances favor the prepared mind. C．Constant dripping wears away the stone. D．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 60: Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Hard Training of a Figure Skater B. A Comeback from Failure in Olympic Skating C. The Harsh Judging in Olympic Figure Skating D. The Sweet Taste of Transient Victory C “Men are from Mars, women from Venus” has become a convenient shorthand for every household debate, from map-reading to loading the dishwasher. Yet beneath the jokes lies a serious question: are the two sexes born with fundamentally different wiring, or have we simply repeated the story until it feels true? Two high-profile sets of scans appear to offer hard proof of a difference. British psychologist Stuart Ritchie reported in 2012 that male brains are, on average, roughly one-tenth heavier than female brains and contain more white-matter. Three years later, Israeli neuroscientist, Daphna Joel added that typical “his” or “her” circuits can’t be detected with advanced software, even though every head ultimately contains a mix of both — like shades that vary but never perfectly match passport sex. Lise Eliot, a neuroscientist at Chicago Medical School, believes such headlines are too dramatic. After re-analyzing thousands of images collected across six countries, she calls the brain “a unisex (不分性别的) organ”. The numeric gap between group averages, she insists, is no wider than the difference between male and female kidneys, and the figures fail to predict how the organ actually processes algebra, empathy or parking instructions. Put simply, size decides nothing. If body structure is not the real boss, what is? Social experience, argues The Atlantic Classic papers loved eye-catching numbers: a 1970 survey’ showed boys beating girls thirteen-to-one on the mathematics SAT, a figure once highlighted by former Harvard president Lawrence Summers as proof of natural male scientific talent. When later student groups offered girls equal laboratory hours, encouraged female teachers and rewrote textbooks to include more real-world problems, the ratio fell to three-to-one, suggesting that opportunity, not body part, writes most of the scoreboard. Margaret McCarthy, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Maryland, applauds Eliot for “forcing the debate forward”. She also notes that wiping out every sex difference would sound an extreme note. Equal, she reminds us, is not identical; biology may still whisper where society shouts. 61．Why does the author present the findings of Ritchie and Joel? A．To correct statistical errors in psychology. B．To stress the risk of single-country data sets. C．To explain boys’ bad habits in reading maps. D．To provide scan evidence of sex differences. 62. What can we infer about Daphna Joel’s research? A. Advanced software can easily tell male and female brain circuits apart B. Everyone’s brain has a combination of male and female brain features C. Male and female brain traits always match a person’s registered sex D. Male and female brain circuits have no difference at all 63．What is implied by Eliot’s re-analysis of brain volume? A．Brain size can somehow decide sex rules. B．Males do well in tackling complex tasks. C．Generation gaps outrun between-sex gaps. D．It cannot tell how a person will think or act. 64．What can we infer from the falling math score gap after 1970? A．Equal chances narrow the score gap. B．Boys are now losing interest in STEM. C．Standardized tests are no longer trusted. D．Biology still limits girls’ physics scores. 65．What might be McCarthy’s attitude to erasing sex differences? A．Favorable. B．Disapproving. C．Unclear. D．Indifferent. D In a recent article, Markham Heid shares with us an unusual life crisis. At 41, he has built what many would regard as the good life: he has a family; he is healthy, productive, and creative; he has time to travel, read, exercise, and see friends. Yet, he feels that “something is off.” To fight against this feeling, some of his friends have turned to special retreats, while others try to solve it through fitness. What makes Heid’s problem somewhat odd is that it does not seem to arise from anything specific. If he had lost his job, had no time for himself, or was struggling in his marriage, the feeling would be understandable. In the history of philosophy, there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling. Boredom, anxiety, depression and despair are some of the descriptions this mood has received. Heid ends up attributing his crisis to the lack of new experiences. The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard calls this the “illusion of crop rotation”, the idea that changing the environment frequently can save us from this mood. The German philosopher Martin Heidegger also describes a similar state: one may still be surrounded by the same people and activities, but these no longer engage us as they used to. He calls it a kind of “anxiety” created by nothing in particular. No wonder the psychologist Sigmund Freud once described anxiety as a “riddle.” But what really drives this mood is not the need for new experiences. It is not even the particulars of our individual lives or the cultures we belong to, but that we have been given a life to live in the first place, the taste of possibility that comes with being alive. This mood is not due to doubts like “Do I have enough hobbies?” or “Have I achieved my goal?” It is related to the more fundamental questions like “What does it mean to be human?” “What am I supposed to do with the fact that I was given a life?” and “What kind of life is possible for me?” This is why this mood is likely to appear frequently in our life. This is why once many of our life goals are fulfilled, we begin to wonder what life itself is for. These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of anguish about who we are and how we should go on. Nevertheless, recognizing that these doubts are there, and that they matter, can at least allow us to know what may be missing, even when everything is good. 66. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show Markham Heid’s perfect life is envied by many people B. To introduce a confusing life crisis that lacks a specific cause C. To suggest special retreats and fitness are the best ways to solve the crisis D. To prove that a family and some leisure activities can never bring happiness 67．The author shares Markham Heid’s crisis mainly to________. A．present an argument B．introduce a topic C．make an assumption D．evaluate an event 68．According to the author, how can the crisis in the passage be dealt with? A．By studying philosophy.
