Whether you’re advancing in your career, switching industries, or simply feeding your curiosity, lifelong learning is the key to personal and professional growth. But staying motivated can be tough. Life gets busy, challenges arise, and sometimes, the enthusiasm to learn fades. Here’s how you can stay motivated on your lifelong learning journey, inspired by remarkable figures in history. Set clear goals and break them into steps Inspired by: Dr. Mae Jemison — First Black Woman to Travel to Space Dr. Mae Jemison didn’t wake up one day and decide to become an astronaut — she set clear goals and worked toward them step by step. She studied engineering, became a medical doctor, and later, a NASA astronaut. By breaking down her learning journey into manageable steps, she achieved what once seemed impossible. Tip for You: Define what you want to learn and set small, achievable milestones to make it easier to stay motivated. Surround yourself with a supportive learning community Inspired by: Frederick Douglass—Writer and Orator (演说家) Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass taught himself to read and write — even though the laws did not allow it. He understood that knowledge was power and sought out teachers and friends who could support his learning. His relentless pursuit of education fueled his fight for justice and equality. Tip for You: Join study groups, sign up for courses, connect with like-minded learners, or find a mentor (导师). Learning is more engaging when you have a network of support and encouragement. Stay curious and keep pushing forward Inspired by: Katherine Johnson — NASA Mathematician Katherine Johnson’s groundbreaking calculations helped send astronauts to the moon. But she didn’t stop learning after earning a degree — she continued sharpening her skills and embraced new challenges. Her relentless curiosity and problem-solving mindset led to breakthroughs that made history. Tip for You: No matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn. Stay open to new ideas, challenge yourself with different perspectives, and embrace the joy of discovery. Lifelong learning isn’t just about gaining knowledge — it’s about personal growth, resilience (韧性), and becoming the best version of yourself. Keep growing, keep trying, and never stop learning; like many great minds, your learning journey will shape your future. 36. What can be inferred about Dr. Mae Jemison’s learning process? A. She relied only on natural talent to succeed. B. She became an astronaut without any preparation. C. She focused only on medical studies throughout her life. D. She achieved her goal through gradual and planned efforts. 37. The underlined part in the section about Frederick most closely means ______. A. occasional but great effort B. continuous and determined effort C. hesitant but challenging attempt D. brave and unexpected acceptance 38. The author mentions Katherine Johnson to illustrate the importance of ______. A contributing to NASA B. earning a degree in mathematics C. insistent learning and curiosity D. calculating space missions accurately 39. Why does the author use historical figures as examples? A. To show that learning is only for exceptional people. B. To argue that historical context is necessary for learning. C. To provide relevant and inspiring models for readers. D. To stress that motivation comes only from famous personalities. 40. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To list famous historical figures and their achievements. B. To compare different methods of staying motivated. C. To provide detailed biographies of scientists and activists. D. To encourage readers to continue learning throughout life. B “Keep your eyes on the road ahead,” my driving instructor said. “You go in the direction you look.”I remembered the remark several years later, when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers. We’d been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there’d always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up(堆积)：Where’s the romance? Sorry, not for us. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort—and did no better. Then the third…After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.” “You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ” The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year. 41. How did the author feel about writing with her mother? A. Wonderful. B. Nervous. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 42. What does the underlined part “brooding over” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preparing fully for. B. Learning quickly from. C. Worrying deeply about. D. Complaining openly about. 43. What role did the driving instructor’s words play in the author and her mother’s writing career? A. They gave them inspiration of their next book. B. They stopped them from writing a book together. C. They reminded them of their original intention of writing. D. They encouraged them not to give up writing despite criticism. 44. What led to the author and her mother successfully publishing The SkyHorse? A. Writing for young adults. B. Choosing a popular theme. C. Improving their editing process. D. Focusing on their genuine interests. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. A journey to romance B. Benefits of potential cowriting C. Going where you look D. Spreading joy through writing C Over breakfast this morning, I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy. I explained what I had learned about the psychology of happiness from a Spanish-language podcast. By the end of the ten-minute conversation, I felt that I had mastered more of the language than if I’d done an hour of textbook exercises. Mia, however, does not exist in real life. It is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect” (门徒效应). According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored— even if that person doesn’t really exist. The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum (课程) to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools in the country. Later, a group of Stanford scientists tested the idea. In a pioneering experiment, Catherine Chase asked 62 eighth-graders to use a computer program to study how fever affects the body. Over two lessons, the students had to read a text and then create a flowchart (流程图). Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests. Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated (复制) many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other memory techniques. The brain boost appears to arise as much from the expectation of teaching as the act itself. If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information. As a result, we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken assumptions before passing our knowledge on to others. This process then helps to enhance what we have learned. To put the protege effect into practice, a face-to-face conversation with a human partner is ideal, but it can be hard to find one. Fortunately, there are other ways. You might choose to present your progress as a blog or video aimed at other learners. Or you might, like me, choose to chat with an AI. I prompt (instruct) ChatGPT to act as a curious Spanish student, Mia, who listens to what I’ve been learning and asks suitable questions and follow-ups. With voice features, I can practice speaking as well. Though it felt awkward to talk to my computer at first, I became more confident in real-life interactions after just a few weeks. 46. Jean-Pol Martin’s teaching method is mentioned in the text to_________. A. highlight the role of student competition in learning B. contrast Eastern and Western educational philosophies C. demonstrate the inefficiency of teacher-centered instruction D. provide historical context for the concept’s development 47. The author mentions Catherine Chase’s study to show that_________. A. learning by teaching is supported by scientific evidence B. self-study is more effective than group learning C. virtual characters cannot replace human teachers D. flowcharts are useful tools to learn science 48. What does Paragraph 4 imply about the protege effect? A. It motivates deeper learning by creating a sense of duty. B. It encourages learners to avoid uncertain topics entirely. C. It promotes systematic review of previously mastered material. D. It relies on external feedback to correct errors in comprehension. 49. With regard to applying the “protege effect,” the author would most agree that _________. A. chatting with AI is as effective as real- life interactions B. teaching real people is best but not always possible C. overcoming the initial discomfort of teaching is the key D. presenting learning progress publicly offers greater benefits 50. The author’s attitude to using AI for the protege effect can be described as_________. A. overly enthusiastic without practical support B. entirely unconcerned about non-human interactions C strongly skeptical due to technological limitations D. cautiously optimistic despite initial discomfort D In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett —“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory. However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad. Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.” If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our’ Plan C’ is actually our’ Plan A’,” Sjastad says. It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals. 51. Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph1? A. To describe a shallow understanding of failure. B. To offer an example to handle failure. C. To introduce a common attitude towards failure. D. To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure. 52. What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”? A. It refuses negative feedback to ourselves. B. It pictures us as competitive people. C. It poses a severe threat to self- image. D. It protects us from false feedback. 53. What is the author’s attitude towards failure? A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Skeptical. D. Objective. 54. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean? A. Hurriedly. B. Joyfully. C. Unhappily. D. Carelessly. 55. Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self. B. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy. C. Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”. D. Don’t escape when our self-image is broken. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 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 last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: “Things are working out for your own good. Just give them some time.” Those words just stirred a lot of anger in me. Then I read the story of the Chinese bamboo farmer, which gave me a different view on life. The seed of the Chinese bamboo is planted in the ground like every seed. It is watered, and fed with nutrients daily, but it shows no immediate physical response and doesn’t appear to grow. The farmer continues to water and feed the seed in year one, year two, and year three. No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. The Chinese bamboo grows to its full capacity within 5 years. Despite not seeing an immediate result, the farmer had trust in what he was doing. He continued to water and feed the plant for four years, because he believed that if he played his own role and did all that a farmer was supposed to do, then he would be given his reward at the right time. That trust and patience is what kept the farmer persistently feeding his seed for four years before enjoying the reward in the end. Life is not always straightforward. Most often, it’s not a matter of 5+5=10 (Sum 1). Life can be more like 2+1+2+0+0+0+1+2+0+0+1+1=10 (Sum 2). Both sums lead to the same result, but through quite different paths and processes. To be mature is to accept that things might look rough right now but the story can still have a great ending. We might live in a microwave generation where everything seems to happen instantly; but many things still obey the laws of nature. Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. 56.

Whether you’re advancing in your career, switching industries, or simply feeding your curiosity, lifelong learning is the key to personal and professional growth. But staying motivated can be tough. Life gets busy, challenges arise, and sometimes, the enthusiasm to learn fades. Here’s how you can stay motivated on your lifelong learning journey, inspired by remarkable figures in history. Set clear goals and break them into steps Inspired by: Dr. Mae Jemison — First Black Woman to Travel to Space Dr. Mae Jemison didn’t wake up one day and decide to become an astronaut — she set clear goals and worked toward them step by step. She studied engineering, became a medical doctor, and later, a NASA astronaut. By breaking down her learning journey into manageable steps, she achieved what once seemed impossible. Tip for You: Define what you want to learn and set small, achievable milestones to make it easier to stay motivated. Surround yourself with a supportive learning community Inspired by: Frederick Douglass—Writer and Orator (演说家) Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass taught himself to read and write — even though the laws did not allow it. He understood that knowledge was power and sought out teachers and friends who could support his learning. His relentless pursuit of education fueled his fight for justice and equality. Tip for You: Join study groups, sign up for courses, connect with like-minded learners, or find a mentor (导师). Learning is more engaging when you have a network of support and encouragement. Stay curious and keep pushing forward Inspired by: Katherine Johnson — NASA Mathematician Katherine Johnson’s groundbreaking calculations helped send astronauts to the moon. But she didn’t stop learning after earning a degree — she continued sharpening her skills and embraced new challenges. Her relentless curiosity and problem-solving mindset led to breakthroughs that made history. Tip for You: No matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn. Stay open to new ideas, challenge yourself with different perspectives, and embrace the joy of discovery. Lifelong learning isn’t just about gaining knowledge — it’s about personal growth, resilience (韧性), and becoming the best version of yourself. Keep growing, keep trying, and never stop learning; like many great minds, your learning journey will shape your future. 36. What can be inferred about Dr. Mae Jemison’s learning process? A. She relied only on natural talent to succeed. B. She became an astronaut without any preparation. C. She focused only on medical studies throughout her life. D. She achieved her goal through gradual and planned efforts. 37. The underlined part in the section about Frederick most closely means ______. A. occasional but great effort B. continuous and determined effort C. hesitant but challenging attempt D. brave and unexpected acceptance 38. The author mentions Katherine Johnson to illustrate the importance of ______. A. contributing to NASA B. earning a degree in mathematics C. insistent learning and curiosity D. calculating space missions accurately 39. Why does the author use historical figures as examples? A. To show that learning is only for exceptional people. B. To argue that historical context is necessary for learning. C. To provide relevant and inspiring models for readers. D. To stress that motivation comes only from famous personalities. 40. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To list famous historical figures and their achievements. B. To compare different methods of staying motivated. C. To provide detailed biographies of scientists and activists. D. To encourage readers to continue learning throughout life. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. C 40.

She studied engineering, became a medical doctor, and later, a NASA astronaut. (梅・杰米森博士并非某天醒来就决定成为宇航员 —— 她制定了明确的目标，并一步步为之努力。她学习工程学，成为一名医生，后来又成为美国国家航空航天局的宇航员。)”可知，杰米森博士通过循序渐进、有计划的努力实现了目标。故选D项。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass taught himself to read and write — even though the laws did not allow it. He understood that knowledge was power and sought out teachers and friends who could support his learning. His relentless pursuit of education fueled his fight for justice and equality. (弗雷德里克・道格拉斯生于奴隶制家庭，尽管法律不允许，他仍自学读写。他明白知识就是力量，并寻找能支持他学习的老师和朋友。他对教育的relentless pursuit推动了他为正义与平等的抗争。)”可知，道格拉斯在逆境中坚持学习，relentless pursuit应表示“持续而坚定的追求”的含义，与B项continuous and determined effort(持续而坚定的努力)意思相近。故选B项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Katherine Johnson’s groundbreaking calculations helped send astronauts to the moon. But she didn’t stop learning after earning a degree — she continued sharpening her skills and embraced new challenges. Her relentless curiosity and problem-solving mindset led to breakthroughs that made history. (凯瑟琳・约翰逊开创性的计算帮助宇航员登上月球。但她获得学位后并未停止学习 —— 她不断提升技能，迎接新挑战。她不懈的好奇心和解决问题的思维方式促成了具有历史意义的突破。)”可知，作者提及约翰逊是为了说明“坚持学习与保持好奇心”的重要性。故选C项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here’s how you can stay motivated on your lifelong learning journey, inspired by remarkable figures in history. (以下是如何在终身学习之旅中保持动力的方法，灵感来自历史上的杰出人物。)”及后文每个方法均以历史人物为例并给出实用建议可知，作者用历史人物是为读者提供“相关且有激励作用的榜样”。故选C项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The journey of learning never truly ends. Whether you’re advancing in your career, switching industries, or simply feeding your curiosity, lifelong learning is the key to personal and professional growth. But staying motivated can be tough. Life gets busy, challenges arise, and sometimes, the enthusiasm to learn fades. Here’s how you can stay motivated on your lifelong learning journey, inspired by remarkable figures in history.(学习之路永无止境。无论你是在职业生涯中稳步进阶、转行跨界，还是单纯为满足好奇心而探索，终身学习都是实现个人成长与职业发展的关键。但保持学习动力并非易事：生活忙碌不堪，挑战接踵而至，有时学习的热情也会渐渐消退。以下这些方法，灵感源自历史上的杰出人物，能助你在终身学习之路上始终保持动力。)”及最后一段“Lifelong learning isn’t just about gaining knowledge — it’s about personal growth, resilience (韧性), and becoming the best version of yourself. Keep growing, keep trying, and never stop learning; like many great minds, your learning journey will shape your future.(终身学习不止于获取知识 —— 它关乎个人成长与韧性的培养，更关乎成为最好的自己。持续成长，不断尝试，永不停下学习的脚步；正如历史上众多杰出人物那般，你的学习之路终将塑造属于你的未来。)”可知，文章核心目的是“鼓励读者坚持终身学习”。故选D项。 B “Keep your eyes on the road ahead,” my driving instructor said. “You go in the direction you look.”I remembered the remark several years later, when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers. We’d been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there’d always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up(堆积)：Where’s the romance? Sorry, not for us. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort—and did no better. Then the third…After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.” “You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ” The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year. 41. How did the author feel about writing with her mother? A. Wonderful. B. Nervous. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 42. What does the underlined part “brooding over” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preparing fully for. B. Learning quickly from. C. Worrying deeply about. D. Complaining openly about. 43. What role did the driving instructor’s words play in the author and her mother’s writing career? A. They gave them inspiration of their next book. B. They stopped them from writing a book together. C. They reminded them of their original intention of writing. D. They encouraged them not to give up writing despite criticism. 44. What led to the author and her mother successfully publishing The SkyHorse? A. Writing for young adults. B. Choosing a popular theme. C. Improving their editing process. D. Focusing on their genuine interests. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. A journey to romance B. Benefits of potential cowriting C. Going where you look D.

We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone.(合作让写作过程轻松了许多，也有趣得多。我们都盼着坐到电脑前，看看自己不在时故事发生了什么曲折变化。)”可知，作者认为与母亲合作写作的过程轻松且有趣，并期待继续创作。故选A。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book.(根据经验，我们知道避免因失望而……的最好办法是：开始写下一本书。)”可推测，面对拒绝时人们容易陷入过度担忧或沮丧。因此，“brooding over”意为“沉思、担忧”。选项C“Worrying deeply about(深深担忧)”与此相符。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.”(突然，教练的话在我耳边响起。我说：“也许我们该看看自己要驶向哪里。”我接着说：“这就像开车。我们忘了一起写作的初衷。我们当然想出版，但主要原因是想在共同热爱的事情中找到乐趣。”)”可知，驾驶教练的话让作者和母亲意识到她们偏离了写作的初衷——享受共同创作的乐趣，而非单纯追求出版。这一反思促使她们调整方向，最终写出真正热爱的作品。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ”(“你说得对。”妈妈长舒一口气，“我已经很久没感受到乐趣了。也许我们该写真正热爱的东西。你知道吗，我们当初写爱情小说只是因为它们流行，但我们的故事里没有真正的灵魂。”)”以及最后一段“The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year.(去年，我们的青少年小说《天马》出版了。)”可知，她们成功的关键在于放弃迎合流行的爱情小说题材，转而创作真正热爱的内容。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，全文以驾驶教练的话“你看向哪里，就会驶向哪里”为核心隐喻，讲述作者和母亲在写作中因偏离初衷而受挫，最终通过回望初心（聚焦热爱）获得成功的故事。选项C“Going where you look(看向哪里，驶向哪里)”直接引用教练的话，呼应全文“目标与方向”的主题，隐喻坚持初衷的重要性，最贴切。故选C。 C Over breakfast this morning, I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy. I explained what I had learned about the psychology of happiness from a Spanish-language podcast. By the end of the ten-minute conversation, I felt that I had mastered more of the language than if I’d done an hour of textbook exercises. Mia, however, does not exist in real life. It is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect” (门徒效应). According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored— even if that person doesn’t really exist. The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum (课程) to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools in the country. Later, a group of Stanford scientists tested the idea. In a pioneering experiment, Catherine Chase asked 62 eighth-graders to use a computer program to study how fever affects the body. Over two lessons, the students had to read a text and then create a flowchart (流程图). Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests. Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated (复制) many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other memory techniques. The brain boost appears to arise as much from the expectation of teaching as the act itself. If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information. As a result, we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken assumptions before passing our knowledge on to others. This process then helps to enhance what we have learned. To put the protege effect into practice, a face-to-face conversation with a human partner is ideal, but it can be hard to find one. Fortunately, there are other ways. You might choose to present your progress as a blog or video aimed at other learners. Or you might, like me, choose to chat with an AI. I prompt (instruct) ChatGPT to act as a curious Spanish student, Mia, who listens to what I’ve been learning and asks suitable questions and follow-ups. With voice features, I can practice speaking as well. Though it felt awkward to talk to my computer at first, I became more confident in real-life interactions after just a few weeks. 46. Jean-Pol Martin’s teaching method is mentioned in the text to_________. A. highlight the role of student competition in learning B. contrast Eastern and Western educational philosophies C. demonstrate the inefficiency of teacher-centered instruction D. provide historical context for the concept’s development 47. The author mentions Catherine Chase’s study to show that_________. A. learning by teaching is supported by scientific evidence B. self-study is more effective than group learning C. virtual characters cannot replace human teachers D. flowcharts are useful tools to learn science 48. What does Paragraph 4 imply about the protege effect? A. It motivates deeper learning by creating a sense of duty. B. It encourages learners to avoid uncertain topics entirely. C. It promotes systematic review of previously mastered material. D. It relies on external feedback to correct errors in comprehension. 49. With regard to applying the “protege effect,” the author would most agree that _________. A. chatting with AI is as effective as real- life interactions B. teaching real people is best but not always possible C. overcoming the initial discomfort of teaching is the key D. presenting learning progress publicly offers greater benefits 50. The author’s attitude to using AI for the protege effect can be described as_________. A. overly enthusiastic without practical support B. entirely unconcerned about non-human interactions C. strongly skeptical due to technological limitations D. cautiously optimistic despite initial discomfort 【答案】46 D 47. A 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍“门徒效应”——通过“以教促学”提升学习效率的心理机制。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored— even if that person doesn’t really exist. The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools in the country.(根据研究，当我们把我们刚刚探索过的话题教给别人时，我们学得更有效——即使那个人并不存在。这种效应的根源在于“教中学习”的原则，该原则是由在德国工作的法语教师Jean-Pol Martin在20世纪80年代初首创的。为了提高学生的语言学习，他让他们研究并向同学展示课程的不同部分。这种方法提高了他们的积极性、自信心和交际能力，并很快推广到该国的许多其他学校。)”可知，文中提到Jean- Pol Martin的教学方法是为了说明门徒效应的起源和发展背景。故选D项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。文章第三段“Later, a group of Stanford scientists tested the idea. In a pioneering experiment, Catherine Chase asked 62 eighth-graders to use a computer program to study how fever affects the body. Over two lessons, the students had to read a text and then create a flowchart. Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests.(后来，斯坦福大学的一组科学家测试了这个想法。在一项开创性的实验中，Catherine Chase要求62名八年级学生使用计算机程序来研究发烧如何影响身体。在两节课中，学生们必须阅读一篇文章，然后画出一个流程图。一半的青少年做这个练习是作为一种自学的形式，而其他人则被告知他们的图表将有助于教授一个虚拟人物。最后，那些担任教学角色的人学到了更多的材料，在考试中的表现也更出色。)”描述了 Catherine Chase的实验：一组学生自学，另一组被告知要“教”虚拟角色，结果后者学习效果更好。这直接证明了“learning by teaching”的有效性，并得到科学验证。所以，作者提到Catherine Chase的研究是为了证明通过教学来学习是有科学依据的。故选A项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。第四段“Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other memory techniques. The brain boost appears to arise as much from the expectation of teaching as the act itself. If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information. As a result, we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken assumptions before passing our knowledge on to others. This process then helps to enhance what we have learned.(Chase将这种现象命名为“门徒效应”，此后这种现象被重复了很多次。这些后来的研究表明，通过教学来学习比其他记忆技巧更有效。对教学的期望和教学本身似乎都对大脑产生了促进作用。如果我们知道别人会向我们学习，我们就会有一种提供正确信息的责任感。因此，在将我们的知识传递给他人之前，我们会更努力地填补我们理解中的空白，纠正任何错误的假设。这个过程有助于增强我们学到的内容)”解释门徒效应的机制：当我们预期要教别人时，会产生责任感，从而更努力地填补知识空白、纠正错误，进而巩固学习。故选A项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“To put the protege effect into practice, a face-to-face conversation with a human partner is ideal, but it can be hard to find one. Fortunately, there are other ways. You might choose to present your progress as a blog or video aimed at other learners. Or you might, like me, choose to chat with an AI.(为了将“门徒效应”付诸实践，与人类伙伴进行面对面的交谈是最理想的，但很难找到这样的人。幸运的是，还有其他方法。你可以选择以博客或视频的形式向其他学习者展示你的进步。或者你也可以像我一样，选择和人工智能聊天。)”可知，作者认为“真人教学最好但并非唯一途径”。故选B项。 50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“I prompt (instruct) ChatGPT to act as a curious Spanish student, Mia, who listens to what I’ ve been learning and asks suitable questions and follow-ups. With voice features, I can practice speaking as well. Though it felt awkward to talk to my computer at first, I became more confident in real- life interactions after just a few weeks.(我提示（指导）ChatGPT扮演一个好奇的西班牙语学生Mia，她倾听我所学的内容，提出合适的问题并跟进。有了语音功能，我也可以练习说话。虽然一开始和电脑说话感觉很尴尬，但几周后，我在现实生活中的互动变得更加自信了。)”可知，作者在最后一段提到，使用 AI (如与 Mia 聊天) 起初“尴尬”，但几周后提升了自信和真实互动能力。这表明作者对 AI 持谨慎但乐观的态度。故选D项。 D In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett —“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory. However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad. Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.” If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our’ Plan C’ is actually our’ Plan A’,” Sjastad says. It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals. 51. Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph1? A. To describe a shallow understanding of failure. B. To offer an example to handle failure. C. To introduce a common attitude towards failure. D. To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure. 52. What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”? A. It refuses negative feedback to ourselves. B. It pictures us as competitive people. C. It poses a severe threat to self- image. D. It protects us from false feedback. 53. What is the author’s attitude towards failure? A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Skeptical. D. Objective. 54. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean? A. Hurriedly. B. Joyfully. C. Unhappily. D. Carelessly. 55. Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self. B. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy. C. Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”. D. Don’t escape when our self-image is broken. 【答案】51. A 52. A 53. D 54. A 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了正确的失败观——失败是不可避免的。作者呼吁大家树立正确的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”，当我们完美的自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时，不要逃避，不要贬低自己的价值，要勇敢地面对，从中得到学习和提高。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.(然而，心理学研究发现，我们大多数人都很难建设性地处理失败。换句话说，我们不能“向前失败”。我们找到了贬低我们失败的任务的方法，变得不那么有动力去坚持和达到我们的目标。)”可推知，作者在第一段提出了一个看似正确但实则肤浅的观点，以便后文提出作者自己的见解：仅仅把失败当作一种幸运是肤浅的，而要有建设性地“失败”，从中学习经验。故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says.( Sjastad解释说“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制。“我们大多数人把自己想象成有能力的人，所以当外部反馈表明情况并非如此时，这种自我形象就会受到严重威胁，”他表示。)”可知，“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制，会否认外界对于我们的负面反馈。故选A。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy.(这并不意味着我们应该一直坚持目标。如果这个过程不再让我们感到快乐，那么改变雄心壮志可能是健康的。)”和最后一段“Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.(失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。)”可知，作者认为失败是不可避免的，有时候我们需要失败，同时要面对失败，由此可推知，作者从正反两方面来对待失败，所以说作者对待失败的态度是客观的。故选D。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.(而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高。)”可知，前后是对比关系，即酸葡萄效应可能导致我们过早地做出这个决定，而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高，由此可推知，划线单词prematurely，与hanging on a little意思相反，意为“过早地”，与A项“匆忙地”意思相近，故选A。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.( 失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。)”可推知，作者通过全文的讨论，呼吁大家树立正确的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”，当我们完美的自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时，不要逃避，不要贬低自己的价值，要勇敢地面对，从中得到学习和提高，故作者最有可能同意D项“当我们的自我形象被打破时，不要逃避”。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 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 last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: “Things are working out for your own good. Just give them some time.” Those words just stirred a lot of anger in me. Then I read the story of the Chinese bamboo farmer which gave me a different view on life. The seed of the Chinese bamboo is planted in the ground like every seed. It is watered, and fed with nutrients daily, but it shows no immediate physical response and doesn’t appear to grow. The farmer continues to water and feed the seed in year one, year two, and year three. No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. The Chinese bamboo grows to its full capacity within 5 years. Despite not seeing an immediate result, the farmer had trust in what he was doing. He continued to water and feed the plant for four years, because he believed that if he played his own role and did all that a farmer was supposed to do, then he would be given his reward at the right time. That trust and patience is what kept the farmer persistently feeding his seed for four years before enjoying the reward in the end. Life is not always straightforward. Most often, it’s not a matter of 5+5=10 (Sum 1). Life can be more like 2+1+2+0+0+0+1+2+0+0+1+1=10 (Sum 2). Both sums lead to the same result, but through quite different paths and processes. To be mature is to accept that things might look rough right now but the story can still have a great ending. We might live in a microwave generation where everything seems to happen instantly; but many things still obey the laws of nature. Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. 56.

What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean? (1 word) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 58. How does the Chinese bamboo grow in the fourth year? (No more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 59. Why did the farmer keep feeding his seed despite not seeing an immediate result? (No more than 12 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Which is your life more like, Sum 1 or Sum 2? Explain why. (No more than 25 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. The authors’ government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn. 57. Caused./Aroused./Provoked. 58. The seed finally breaks through the ground and grows ninety feet tall in five weeks. 59. (Because) he had trust in what he was doing. 60. Sum 2. My life is also full of ups and downs, but I manage to overcome difficulties with patience and determination. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者大学最后一年奖学金被取消后，受中国竹农故事启发，明白生活需耐心与信任，最终能渡过难关的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: “Things are working out for your own good.

Glad to receive your email on why young people should learn and inherit Chinese traditional culture in modern life. Chinese traditional culture is like a spiritual bond connecting every Chinese. It helps build a strong sense of cultural identity, showing where we come from and our roots — something modern life can never replace. For us young people, inheriting it is of great meaning. It enriches our spiritual life and boosts cultural confidence, making us proud to share our culture. Last month, I joined a paper-cutting workshop. At first, I struggled to hold scissors, but after practice, I made a red paper “fu” (good luck). I stuck it on my window, and my family loved it. This small experience made me feel closer to our traditions. Looking forward to your views on cultural heritage!
