At an altitude over 4,500 meters in Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, lies Mapam Yumco Lake. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has dedicated himself to protecting the wetland around this precious lake as an ecosystem guardian.
Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary. Now, he earns a stable monthly income of 2,000 yuan and comes to feel a deep sense of purpose. “Protecting this lake makes me proud. It’s not just work — it’s about preserving it for future generations,” he said.
Dradul’s workday begins early. He patrols (巡查) a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle, with duties including observing the reserve, recording data, and addressing ecological threats. Last February, he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle, sending it to a rescue center until it recovered. This July, they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild out of a mudflat with ropes. Educating visitors is another core task. Dradul reminds tourists not to litter, drive on delicate grasslands, or leave waste. “In the past, the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild animals,” Dradul recalled. Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species — a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area.
Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland degradation. Human activities also continue — some visitors still litter, bathe, or wash cars in the lake. With nearly 99,000 hectares (公顷) of wetland and only 90 guardians, remote areas can’t be patrolled daily.
Despite these difficulties, Dradul remains hopeful. He dreams of Mapam Yumco Lake staying pure forever. “This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations,” he emphasized.
24. What’s the original purpose of Dradul to work as a guardian?
A. To earn a stable income. B. To help animals in need.
C. To protect a precious wetland. D. To seek a sense of purpose.
25. Which of the following can best describe Dradul’s job?
A. Well-paid but dangerous. B. Relaxing and effective.
C. Challenging but worthwhile. D. Flexible and professional.
26. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Improvement. B. Expansion. C. Decline. D. Stability.
27. What can we learn from Dradul?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. Small efforts make a big difference.

In 1915 three weeks after explorer Ernest Shackleton ordered his crew to abandon their craft, the Endurance, the ship sank off Antarctica’s icy coast. For over a century, the disaster was widely attributed to the consistent pressure of floating pack ice. However, a recent study challenges this long-held belief, suggesting the ship’s own structural weaknesses were the primary cause.
“Even basic structural analysis reveals the Endurance was poorly designed to withstand the compressive (压缩的) forces of the Antarctic pack ice that ultimately destroyed it,” explains study author Jukka Tuhkuri. Notably, Shackleton may have been aware of these flaws before setting sail on his ambitious expedition. The 2022 discovery of the ship’s sunken remains sparked Tuhkuri’s research; after carefully examining high-resolution images of the remains, he reached a clear conclusion: “It wasn’t the ice alone — it was the ship’s inadequate construction.”
Compared to other polar ships of the era, the Endurance had critical shortcomings: weaker deck beams (横梁) and frames, an overly long machine room that badly damaged the hull’s (船体) structural safety, and a clear lack of supporting diagonal beams to spread pressure. These issues were confirmed by crew member Reginald James and the ship’s captain, Frank Worsley, in their firsthand accounts.
Tuhkuri notes that Shackleton himself hinted at the problem in a letter to his wife early on, admitting, “This ship is not as structurally sound as the Nimrod... I’d trade her for the old Nimrod in an instant, save for her comfort.” Originally built to carry tourists in the Greenland Sea, the Endurance was never intended for the harsh conditions of Antarctic expeditions, where ships often become trapped in ice.
Could the failure have been prevented if Shackleton chose a better ship? Was he aware of the risk he was taking? Tuhkuri avoids assigning blame, acknowledging potential financial or time limitations Shackleton faced. “We may never fully understand the exact reasoning behind his choices,” he says, “but these findings add crucial depth to one of history’s most famous polar stories.”
28. What was the traditional view on the main cause of the Endurance’s sinking?
A. Weak ship structure. B. Pack ice pressure.
C. Shackleton’s poor leadership. D. Severe weather conditions.
29. Which is a design flaw of the Endurance?
A. Small capacity. B. Unqualified material.
C. Weak key parts. D. Wrong room use.
30. Why does the author mention Shackleton’s letter to his wife?
A. To show the comfort of the Endurance.
B. To prove Shackleton’s care for his family.
C. To confirm the Nimrod’s poor performance.
D. To support Tuhkuri’s view on the ship’s weakness.
31. What can be inferred from Tuhkuri’s words about Shackleton’s choice?
A. Financial issues were the key factor.
B. Shackleton should be responsible for the failure.
C. Shackleton intentionally ignored the ship’s risks.
D. The exact cause of his decision remains unproven.
D
There exists a certain human experience that goes beyond cultures and generations— the sudden shake that runs down your spine (脊柱) when a violin reaches its highest note, or when singers’ harmony resolves perfectly. These musical chills, electrifying feelings triggered by emotionally powerful music, sometimes accompanied by visible goosebumps, represent one of the most fascinating blends between art and neurology. Recent advances in brain imaging have transformed our understanding of this phenomenon, revealing it to be a complex neurological event involving multiple brain regions.
The process begins with pattern recognition in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) which constantly predicts where a musical phrase will lead. When a composer breaks these expectations on purpose—through an unexpected key change, or a delay in resolution— it creates what neuroscientists call “prediction error.” This surprise element triggers the nucleus accumbens (伏隔核) , the brain’s pleasure center associated with reward processing. Within milliseconds, the area releases dopamine, the same neurotransmitter involved in the pleasures of eating chocolate or falling in love. Studies show this neural activity pattern is nearly identical to that seen during other peak emotional experiences.
Individual differences in musical chills provide important clues. Only about half the population reports frequent musical chills, and brain scans reveal why. These individuals possess stronger white matter connections between the auditory cortex and two key regions: one processing bodily awareness and the other involved in emotional evaluation. This enhanced neural connection creates the ability to experience more delicate emotional responses to music.
The evolutionary origins of this response may come before humanity itself. Charles Darwin first noted that music shares characteristics with animal distress calls and mating songs. The physiological markers of musical chills— including goosebumps and changes in heart rate— mirror ancient fear and excitement responses. Some theorists suggest music developed as an early language that promoted social unity, with chill responses reinforcing group bonding through shared emotional peaks.
Modern medicine has begun using this knowledge. Neurologists now use musical chill tests to assess lack of emotional response in depression patients, as reduced chill response connects with an inability to feel pleasure. Music therapists working with Alzheimer’s patients have documented cases where chill-arousing songs temporarily restore access to lost memories, likely through activation of the region relatively spared in early dementia (痴呆症) .
The next time you feel that familiar shake during a favorite song, recognize it for what it truly is. In those chilling notes lies evidence of our incredible neural complexity, our ancient evolutionary past, and our enduring capacity for amazing experience.
32. What triggers the “prediction error” in Paragraph 2?
A. The release of dopamine from the same neurotransmitter area.
B. A composer’s intentional breaking of listeners’ musical expectations.
C. The similarity between musical chills and other emotional experiences.
D. The auditory cortex’s failure to recognize the familiar musical patterns.
33. What can we know about the evolutionary fact of musical chills?
A. They were developed to distinguish between fear and excitement responses.
B. They played a role in promoting social connection among early human groups.
C. Their origin lay in the same biological mechanism as animal mating behaviors.
D. Their physical indicators like goosebumps fade away in the process of evolution.
34. From the case of Alzheimer’s patients, we can infer that _________.
A. chill-arousing music is the more effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease
B. all dementia patients can fully recover lost memories through musical chills
C. emotional distress in depression is caused by weakened musical chill responses
D. modern medicine has begun to apply the effect of musical chills to curing diseases
35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Only music with specific notes can trigger the neural activity of chills.
B. The experience of musical chills reflects multiple aspects of human nature.
C. Musical chills are the most direct way to study the human brain’s complexity.
D. The ability to feel musical chills is unique to humans compared with other species.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are so many situations when it is so easy to say “I told you so.” An opportunity is lost because someone didn’t check their email. Despite multiple warnings, a loved one was taken in by a deceptive (欺骗性的) phone call. ____36____ But is that the approach a friend or a family member benefits from the most?
When someone makes a careless mistake, this may be the time when they most need support and least need judgment. They already know the lesson. _____37_____ What is beneficial in these situations is somebody who loves them, even if what they did seemed avoidable or careless.
Imagine you have made an error. Let’s say you were cheated, and ended up losing a few hundred dollars. ____38____ Actually, someone who had lots of expertise at it found a way to fool you. If the friend you tell tries to make the point that you should have seen through it, which you already know, that just makes you feel worse.
So, what can you do when confronted with situations that tempt you to say “I told you so”? ____39____ This means paying attention to the person speaking, with eye contact and affirming gestures, asking relevant questions, and summarizing the person’s main points. Most importantly, this active listening happens without critical comments or questions.
Return the person’s sense of agency, which is often weakened in challenging situations such as these. “What can you do to make it better?” _____40_____ They have to reestablish themselves as a capable person who will prevent such events from recurring (复现) in the future. Part of agency can be the lessons learned.
A. Don’t completely take over for them.
B. It’s crucial to learn from this experience.
C. Offer to be part of figuring out a solution.
D. You didn’t do anything wrong intentionally.
E. Spend some time non-judgmentally listening.

Long after the lesson ended, that feeling ____49____ me. I found myself ____50____ replaying it in my head: the cool water wrapping me, my arms and legs moving in a rhythm (节奏) I’d never thought I’d master, and the ____51____ I felt when I finally touched the opposite wall. For years, I’d ____52____ pools — even beach trips — because the fear of not knowing how to swim made me feel small, like I was ____53____ something everyone else took for granted.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the small town of Willow Creek, two best friends, Jake and Lily, were inseparable. They had grown up together, sharing every adventure and secret. Their friendship was the kind that everyone admired, and they believed nothing could ever come between them. Both were passionate about science and spent their weekends working on projects, hoping to win the annual Science Fair.
This year, the prize was a scholarship to a summer camp for young scientists. Both Jake and Lily were determined to win. They brainstormed ideas and decided to build a model of an eco-friendly house powered entirely by renewable energy. It was an ambitious project, but they were confident in their abilities.
However, as the deadline approached, tension began to build. Jake wanted to focus on solar energy, while Lily believed wind turbines (涡轮机) would be more efficient. Their discussions turned into arguments, and soon, they were barely speaking to each other. Both were too proud to compromise (妥协).
One afternoon, after another heated argument, Jake stormed out of Lily’s house, where they were working. He decided to work on his own version of the project, convinced that his idea was the best. Lily, equally stubborn (固执的), continued with her plan, refusing to ask Jake for help.
As the Science Fair drew near, both of them worked tirelessly, but without the support they once had from each other, the task seemed difficult. On the day of the fair, they arrived separately, each with their own model. The atmosphere was tense as they set up their displays side by side.
When the judges began their rounds, Jake and Lily avoided eye contact, both secretly hoping the other would give in. As the judges approached their projects, a sudden technical issue arose with Jake’s model. The solar panels weren’t generating enough power due to a minor miscalculation. Panic set in, and for the first time, Jake felt the weight of his stubbornness.
Lily noticed Jake’s depression. She remembered all the good times they had shared. Despite their differences, she knew she couldn’t let her friend fail alone.

At an altitude over 4,500 meters in Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, lies Mapam Yumco Lake. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has dedicated himself to protecting the wetland around this precious lake as an ecosystem guardian.
Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary. Now, he earns a stable monthly income of 2,000 yuan and comes to feel a deep sense of purpose. “Protecting this lake makes me proud. It’s not just work — it’s about preserving it for future generations,” he said.
Dradul’s workday begins early. He patrols (巡查) a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle, with duties including observing the reserve, recording data, and addressing ecological threats. Last February, he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle, sending it to a rescue center until it recovered. This July, they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild out of a mudflat with ropes. Educating visitors is another core task. Dradul reminds tourists not to litter, drive on delicate grasslands, or leave waste. “In the past, the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild animals,” Dradul recalled. Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species — a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area.
Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland degradation. Human activities also continue — some visitors still litter, bathe, or wash cars in the lake. With nearly 99,000 hectares (公顷) of wetland and only 90 guardians, remote areas can’t be patrolled daily.
Despite these difficulties, Dradul remains hopeful. He dreams of Mapam Yumco Lake staying pure forever. “This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations,” he emphasized.
24. What’s the original purpose of Dradul to work as a guardian?
A. To earn a stable income. B. To help animals in need.
C. To protect a precious wetland. D. To seek a sense of purpose.
25. Which of the following can best describe Dradul’s job?
A. Well-paid but dangerous. B. Relaxing and effective.
C. Challenging but worthwhile. D. Flexible and professional.
26. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Improvement. B. Expansion. C. Decline. D. Stability.
27. What can we learn from Dradul?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. Small efforts make a big difference.
【答案】24 A 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了西藏牧民德拉杜尔作为玛旁雍错湿地守护者的故事,他通过日常巡逻、救援动物和教育游客等行动,保护这里丰富的生物多样性,坚持用微小努力创造长期价值。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary. (在成为守护者之前,他从事临时工作,生活艰难,渴望一份稳定的收入。)”可知,德拉杜尔最初是为了获得稳定的收入而选择这份工作。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dradul’s workday begins early. He patrols (巡查) a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle, with duties including observing the reserve, recording data, and addressing ecological threats. (德拉杜尔的工作日开始得很早。他骑着摩托车在一条10公里的固定路线上巡逻,职责包括观察保护区、记录数据和解决生态威胁。)”、“Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species — a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area. (今天,这片湿地是411种植物和157种野生动物的家园——在这样一个高海拔地区,生物多样性的水平是惊人的。)”和第四段中“Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat (然而,这项工作远非易事。气候变化是一个主要威胁)”可知,德拉杜尔的工作开始时间早、任务多,还面临气候变化的威胁,但取得的生态成果很惊人。由此可知,这份工作充满挑战但意义重大。故选C项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes (气候变化是一个主要威胁:融化的冰和变化的降雨模式导致海岸线的变化)”可知,冰的融化和降雨模式变化带来的是消极影响,会导致草原退化,画线词意为“衰退,恶化”,与Decline“衰退”意思接近。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Dradul所说的话“This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations (这种责任,虽然建立在每天的小努力上,但必须传承下去。有了真诚和承诺,即使是最简单的行动也可以世世代代保护湖泊的美丽)”可知,德拉杜尔强调坚持不懈的日常付出对生态保护的深远意义。因此,从他身上,我们能了解到“微小的努力能产生巨大影响”。故选D项。
C
In 1915, three weeks after explorer Ernest Shackleton ordered his crew to abandon their craft, the Endurance, the ship sank off Antarctica’s icy coast. For over a century, the disaster was widely attributed to the consistent pressure of floating pack ice. However, a recent study challenges this long-held belief, suggesting the ship’s own structural weaknesses were the primary cause.
“Even basic structural analysis reveals the Endurance was poorly designed to withstand the compressive (压缩的) forces of the Antarctic pack ice that ultimately destroyed it,” explains study author Jukka Tuhkuri. Notably, Shackleton may have been aware of these flaws before setting sail on his ambitious expedition. The 2022 discovery of the ship’s sunken remains sparked Tuhkuri’s research; after carefully examining high-resolution images of the remains, he reached a clear conclusion: “It wasn’t the ice alone — it was the ship’s inadequate construction.”
Compared to other polar ships of the era, the Endurance had critical shortcomings: weaker deck beams (横梁) and frames, an overly long machine room that badly damaged the hull’s (船体) structural safety, and a clear lack of supporting diagonal beams to spread pressure. These issues were confirmed by crew member Reginald James and the ship’s captain, Frank Worsley, in their firsthand accounts.
Tuhkuri notes that Shackleton himself hinted at the problem in a letter to his wife early on, admitting, “This ship is not as structurally sound as the Nimrod... I’d trade her for the old Nimrod in an instant, save for her comfort.” Originally built to carry tourists in the Greenland Sea, the Endurance was never intended for the harsh conditions of Antarctic expeditions, where ships often become trapped in ice.
Could the failure have been prevented if Shackleton chose a better ship? Was he aware of the risk he was taking? Tuhkuri avoids assigning blame, acknowledging potential financial or time limitations Shackleton faced. “We may never fully understand the exact reasoning behind his choices,” he says, “but these findings add crucial depth to one of history’s most famous polar stories.”
28. What was the traditional view on the main cause of the Endurance’s sinking?
A. Weak ship structure. B. Pack ice pressure.
C. Shackleton’s poor leadership. D. Severe weather conditions.
29. Which is a design flaw of the Endurance?
A. Small capacity. B. Unqualified material.
C. Weak key parts. D. Wrong room use.
30. Why does the author mention Shackleton’s letter to his wife?
A. To show the comfort of the Endurance.
B. To prove Shackleton’s care for his family.
C. To confirm the Nimrod’s poor performance.
D. To support Tuhkuri’s view on the ship’s weakness.
31. What can be inferred from Tuhkuri’s words about Shackleton’s choice?
A. Financial issues were the key factor.
B. Shackleton should be responsible for the failure.
C. Shackleton intentionally ignored the ship’s risks.
D. The exact cause of his decision remains unproven.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。传统认为“坚忍号”沉没主因是浮冰压力,近期研究挑战该观点,指出船体结构缺陷为主要原因,并补充相关佐证。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For over a century, the disaster was widely attributed to the consistent pressure of floating pack ice. (一个多世纪以来,这场灾难一直被普遍归因于浮冰持续施加的压力)”可知,关于“坚忍号”沉没的传统观点认为主因是浮冰的压力。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Compared to other polar ships of the era, the Endurance had critical shortcomings: weaker deck beams (横梁) and frames, an overly long machine room that badly damaged the hull’s (船体) structural safety, and a clear lack of supporting diagonal beams to spread pressure. (与同时代的其他极地船只相比,‘坚忍号’存在严重缺陷:甲板横梁和船架更脆弱、机舱过长严重影响船体结构安全、明显缺少用于分散压力的支撑斜梁)”可知,“坚忍号”的设计缺陷之一是关键部件强度不足。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Tuhkuri notes that Shackleton himself hinted at the problem in a letter to his wife early on, admitting, “This ship is not as structurally sound as the Nimrod...I’d trade her for the old Nimrod in an instant, save for her comfort.” (图赫库里指出,沙克尔顿本人早先就在给妻子的信中暗示过这个问题,他承认:“这艘船的结构不如‘尼姆罗德号’坚固……要不是图个舒适,我立马就想换回原来的‘尼姆罗德号’。”)”可知,作者提及这封信是为了佐证图库里关于“坚忍号”存在结构缺陷的观点。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““We may never fully understand the exact reasoning behind his choices,” he says, “but these findings add crucial depth to one of history’s most famous polar stories.”(“我们可能永远无法完全理解他的选择背后的确切原因,”他说,“但这些发现为历史上最著名的极地故事之一增加了至关重要的深度。”)”可推知,沙克尔顿选择“坚忍号”的具体原因仍未得到证实。故选D项。
D
There exists a certain human experience that goes beyond cultures and generations— the sudden shake that runs down your spine (脊柱) when a violin reaches its highest note, or when singers’ harmony resolves perfectly. These musical chills, electrifying feelings triggered by emotionally powerful music, sometimes accompanied by visible goosebumps, represent one of the most fascinating blends between art and neurology. Recent advances in brain imaging have transformed our understanding of this phenomenon, revealing it to be a complex neurological event involving multiple brain regions.
The process begins with pattern recognition in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) , which constantly predicts where a musical phrase will lead. When a composer breaks these expectations on purpose—through an unexpected key change, or a delay in resolution— it creates what neuroscientists call “prediction error.” This surprise element triggers the nucleus accumbens (伏隔核) , the brain’s pleasure center associated with reward processing. Within milliseconds, the area releases dopamine, the same neurotransmitter involved in the pleasures of eating chocolate or falling in love. Studies show this neural activity pattern is nearly identical to that seen during other peak emotional experiences.
Individual differences in musical chills provide important clues. Only about half the population reports frequent musical chills, and brain scans reveal why. These individuals possess stronger white matter connections between the auditory cortex and two key regions: one processing bodily awareness and the other involved in emotional evaluation. This enhanced neural connection creates the ability to experience more delicate emotional responses to music.
The evolutionary origins of this response may come before humanity itself. Charles Darwin first noted that music shares characteristics with animal distress calls and mating songs. The physiological markers of musical chills— including goosebumps and changes in heart rate— mirror ancient fear and excitement responses. Some theorists suggest music developed as an early language that promoted social unity, with chill responses reinforcing group bonding through shared emotional peaks.
Modern medicine has begun using this knowledge. Neurologists now use musical chill tests to assess lack of emotional response in depression patients, as reduced chill response connects with an inability to feel pleasure. Music therapists working with Alzheimer’s patients have documented cases where chill-arousing songs temporarily restore access to lost memories, likely through activation of the region relatively spared in early dementia (痴呆症) .
The next time you feel that familiar shake during a favorite song, recognize it for what it truly is. In those chilling notes lies evidence of our incredible neural complexity, our ancient evolutionary past, and our enduring capacity for amazing experience.
32. What triggers the “prediction error” in Paragraph 2?
A. The release of dopamine from the same neurotransmitter area.
B. A composer’s intentional breaking of listeners’ musical expectations.
C. The similarity between musical chills and other emotional experiences.
D. The auditory cortex’s failure to recognize the familiar musical patterns.
33. What can we know about the evolutionary fact of musical chills?
A. They were developed to distinguish between fear and excitement responses.
B. They played a role in promoting social connection among early human groups.
C. Their origin lay in the same biological mechanism as animal mating behaviors.
D. Their physical indicators like goosebumps fade away in the process of evolution.
34. From the case of Alzheimer’s patients, we can infer that _________.
A. chill-arousing music is the more effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease
B. all dementia patients can fully recover lost memories through musical chills

【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了音乐寒颤是艺术与神经学的交汇现象,由作曲家打破听众音乐预期触发,其个体差异、演化起源已被揭示,且该研究成果已应用于现代医学领域。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a composer breaks these expectations on purpose—through an unexpected key change, or a delay in resolution— it creates what neuroscientists call “prediction error.”(当作曲家故意打破这些预期时——比如采用出人意料的转调或延迟和声解决时——就会产生神经科学家所说的“预测错误”。)”可知,作曲家故意打破听众的音乐期望触发了“预测错误”。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some theorists suggest music developed as an early language that promoted social unity, with chill responses reinforcing group bonding through shared emotional peaks.( 一些理论家认为,音乐是一种促进社会团结的早期语言,通过共同的情感高峰,寒颤反应加强了群体联系。)”可知,关于音乐寒颤的进化事实,我们能知道它们在促进早期人类群体之间的社会联系方面发挥了作用。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Modern medicine has begun using this knowledge. Neurologists now use musical chill tests to assess lack of emotional response in depression patients, as reduced chill response connects with an inability to feel pleasure. Music therapists working with Alzheimer’s patients have documented cases where chill-arousing songs temporarily restore access to lost memories, likely through activation of the region relatively spared in early dementia (痴呆症) .( 现代医学已经开始运用这一知识。神经学家现在使用音乐寒颤测试来评估抑郁症患者缺乏情绪反应,因为寒颤反应的减少与无法感受到快乐有关。与阿尔茨海默病患者一起工作的音乐治疗师已经记录了一些案例,这些案例表明,能令人起鸡皮疙瘩的歌曲可以暂时恢复对失去的记忆的访问,可能是通过激活早期痴呆症相对不受影响的区域。)”可知,从老年痴呆症患者的案例中,我们可以推断现代医学已经开始利用音乐寒颤的效果来治疗疾病。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The next time you feel that familiar shake during a favorite song, recognize it for what it truly is. In those chilling notes lies evidence of our incredible neural complexity, our ancient evolutionary past, and our enduring capacity for amazing experience.( 下次当你在听最喜欢的歌曲时感到那种熟悉的颤抖时,认清它的真正含义。那些令人起鸡皮疙瘩的音符证明了我们令人难以置信的神经复杂性,我们古老的进化历史,以及我们对惊人体验的持久能力。)”可推知,作者在最后一段暗示了音乐寒颤的经历反映了人性的多个方面。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are so many situations when it is so easy to say “I told you so.” An opportunity is lost because someone didn’t check their email. Despite multiple warnings, a loved one was taken in by a deceptive (欺骗性的) phone call. ____36____ But is that the approach a friend or a family member benefits from the most?
When someone makes a careless mistake, this may be the time when they most need support and least need judgment. They already know the lesson. _____37_____ What is beneficial in these situations is somebody who loves them, even if what they did seemed avoidable or careless.
Imagine you have made an error. Let’s say you were cheated, and ended up losing a few hundred dollars. ____38____ Actually, someone who had lots of expertise at it found a way to fool you. If the friend you tell tries to make the point that you should have seen through it, which you already know, that just makes you feel worse.
So, what can you do when confronted with situations that tempt you to say “I told you so”? ____39____ This means paying attention to the person speaking, with eye contact and affirming gestures, asking relevant questions, and summarizing the person’s main points. Most importantly, this active listening happens without critical comments or questions.
Return the person’s sense of agency, which is often weakened in challenging situations such as these. “What can you do to make it better?” _____40_____ They have to reestablish themselves as a capable person who will prevent such events from recurring (复现) in the future. Part of agency can be the lessons learned.
A. Don’t completely take over for them.
B. It’s crucial to learn from this experience.
C. Offer to be part of figuring out a solution.
D. You didn’t do anything wrong intentionally.
E. Spend some time non-judgmentally listening.
F. Saying “I told you so” won’t make the lesson sink in more deeply.
G. Many would say these are opportunities for “natural” consequences.
【答案】36. G 37. F 38. D 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出犯错时说“I told you so”无益处,人此时更需支持,建议以无评判倾听、协助解决问题的方式给予帮助。
【36题详解】
根据上文“There are so many situations when it is so easy to say “I told you so.” An opportunity is lost because someone didn’t check their email. Despite multiple warnings, a loved one was taken in by a deceptive (欺骗性的) phone call. (有很多时候,人们很容易说出“我早就跟你说过了。”这样的话。比如,因为有人没有查看邮件,一个机会就这样溜走了。即便多次发出警告,还是有一位亲人被一个欺骗性的电话所骗了。)”可知,前文列举了适合说“I told you so”的场景(没查邮件错失机会、亲人轻信诈骗电话),此句承接上文,指出很多人会认为这些是“自食其果”的时刻,同时为后文反问“But is that the approach a friend or a family member benefits from the most?(但这种做法到底能让朋友或家人受益最多呢?)”做铺垫,逻辑连贯。G选项“许多人会说这些都是“自然”后果带来的机会。”符合语境,故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“When someone makes a careless mistake, this may be the time when they most need support and least need judgment. They already know the lesson. (当有人犯了粗心的错误时,此时他们最需要的是支持而非评判。因为他们已经明白其中的道理了。)”以及后文“What is beneficial in these situations is somebody who loves them, even if what they did seemed avoidable or careless. (在这种情况下,重要的是要有关爱他们的人存在,即便他们所做的事情看起来是可以避免的或者显得有些粗心大意。)”可知,前文提到犯错的人已然吸取教训,此句进一步说明说“I told you so”并不会让教训更深刻,反而此时他们更需要支持而非评判,与后文“关爱才是有益的”呼应。F选项“说“我早就跟你说过了。”并不能让这个教训更深刻地被铭记。”符合语境,故选F。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Imagine you have made an error. Let’s say you were cheated, and ended up losing a few hundred dollars. (想象一下你犯了一个错误。比如说,你遭遇了欺诈,结果损失了几百美元。)”以及后文“Actually, someone who had lots of expertise at it found a way to fool you. If the friend you tell tries to make the point that you should have seen through it, which you already know, that just makes you feel worse. (实际上,有一些在这方面非常精通的人找到了一种让你上当的方法。如果你告诉别人这件事,而对方却试图强调你应该已经看穿了这一切(而你其实早就明白这一点了),那只会让你感觉更糟糕。)”可知,前文假设自己被骗损失钱财的场景,此句承接语境,表明你并非故意犯错,而是被专业的骗子蒙蔽,为后文“朋友若指责会让你更难受”提供合理前提。D选项“你并没有故意做错什么。”符合语境,故选D。
【39题详解】
根据上文“So, what can you do when confronted with situations that tempt you to say “I told you so”? (那么,当你遇到那些会让你忍不住说出“我早就跟你说过了。”这样的话的情形时,你该怎么做呢?)”以及后文“This means paying attention to the person speaking, with eye contact and affirming gestures, asking relevant questions, and summarizing the person’s main points. Most importantly, this active listening happens without critical comments or questions. (这意味着要关注说话者,通过眼神交流和肯定的手势来表达关注,提出相关问题,并总结说话者的主要观点。最重要的是,这种积极倾听是无需做出批评性评论或提出问题的。)”可知,前文提出“如何克制说‘I told you so’的冲动”的问题,此句给出第一个对策——不带评判地倾听,后文紧接着解释主动倾听的具体做法(眼神交流、积极回应等),契合段落主旨。E选项“以不评判的态度倾听一段时间。”符合语境,故选E。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Return the person’s sense of agency, which is often weakened in challenging situations such as these. “What can you do to make it better?” (恢复这个人的自主感,这种自主感在诸如这类棘手的情况下往往会受到削弱。“你能做些什么来改善情况呢?”)”以及后文“They have to reestablish themselves as a capable person who will prevent such events from recurring (复现) in the future. Part of agency can be the lessons learned. (他们必须重新树立起自己有能力避免此类事件再次发生的形象。自主感的一部分可以体现在所吸取的经验教训上。)”可知,前文建议帮对方恢复掌控感并提问“如何补救”,此句承接该思路,提出主动参与解决问题的建议,同时后文强调对方需重新建立能力、吸取教训,避免越俎代庖,逻辑一致。C选项“主动参与寻找解决方案”符合语境,故选C。

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B,C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了黑色星期五的由来、发展以及其与商业利润的关系。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这过去是非官方或官方的假日购物季的开始。“start of...”意为“……的开始”,此处特指假日购物季的开始,应用定冠词the。故填the。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:几乎所有的商店都会推出特别的早起优惠,以吸引消费者到他们的商店购物。“(attract) consumers to their shop”是“come out with special early bird offers”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to attract。
58题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的几年里,我们见证了一种趋势,即在星期五之前就把黑色星期五的促销活动搬到网上。witness(见证)是谓语动词,根据时间状语“In the last few years”可知,句子描述的是从过去持续到现在的动作,应用现在完成时,主语是we,谓语动词用复数形式。故填have witnessed。

【61题详解】
考查代词。句意:许多零售商在黑色星期五报告了他们的一些最高利润。提示词修饰名词短语highest profits,用形容词性物主代词their作定语,意为“他们的”。故填their。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:“黑色星期五”名称中的黑色部分与商家用红墨水记录亏损,用黑墨水记录盈利有关。提示词作recording的宾语,用名词loss,意为“亏损”,是可数名词,且无冠词限定,用复数形式;也可理解为“损失”,是不可数名词。故填losses/loss。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:像dealsofamerica.com这样的交易网站从2003年开始突出“黑色星期五促销活动”,从那时起,零售商们就开始效仿。“started to highlight “Black Friday sales” from 2003”和“then the retailers picked it up”是时间上的先后关系,用并列连词and连接两个句子,表示“然后”。故填and。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:本质上,黑色星期五是一个互联网术语。提示词修饰整个句子,用副词essentially作状语,意为“本质上”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Essentially。
【65题详解】

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the small town of Willow Creek, two best friends, Jake and Lily, were inseparable. They had grown up together, sharing every adventure and secret. Their friendship was the kind that everyone admired, and they believed nothing could ever come between them. Both were passionate about science and spent their weekends working on projects, hoping to win the annual Science Fair.
This year, the prize was a scholarship to a summer camp for young scientists. Both Jake and Lily were determined to win. They brainstormed ideas and decided to build a model of an eco-friendly house powered entirely by renewable energy. It was an ambitious project, but they were confident in their abilities.
However, as the deadline approached, tension began to build. Jake wanted to focus on solar energy, while Lily believed wind turbines (涡轮机) would be more efficient. Their discussions turned into arguments, and soon, they were barely speaking to each other. Both were too proud to compromise (妥协).
One afternoon, after another heated argument, Jake stormed out of Lily’s house, where they were working. He decided to work on his own version of the project, convinced that his idea was the best. Lily, equally stubborn (固执的), continued with her plan, refusing to ask Jake for help.
As the Science Fair drew near, both of them worked tirelessly, but without the support they once had from each other, the task seemed difficult. On the day of the fair, they arrived separately, each with their own model. The atmosphere was tense as they set up their displays side by side.
When the judges began their rounds, Jake and Lily avoided eye contact, both secretly hoping the other would give in. As the judges approached their projects, a sudden technical issue arose with Jake’s model. The solar panels weren’t generating enough power due to a minor miscalculation. Panic set in, and for the first time, Jake felt the weight of his stubbornness.
Lily noticed Jake’s depression. She remembered all the good times they had shared. Despite their differences, she knew she couldn’t let her friend fail alone.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Lily stepped over to Jake’s display.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later that afternoon, the results were announced.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Taking a deep breath, Lily stepped over to Jake’s display. “Let’s combine our ideas — solar and wind can complement each other,” she said. Jake, surprised but relieved, nodded. Lily quickly fetched a small wind turbine from her model and connected it to Jake’s solar system. Together, they adjusted the wiring and corrected the miscalculation. When the judges arrived, the combined model worked perfectly: solar panels and the turbine powered the eco-house’s lights and small appliances. The judges smiled, impressed by the teamwork. Jake and Lily exchanged a glance, tension gone.
Later that afternoon, the results were announced. They won first prize! The judges praised their project’s creativity and the way they resolved differences. Holding the scholarship, Jake said, “This is ours — thank you for not giving up on us.” Lily agreed: “Friendship beats stubbornness.” They decided to attend the camp together. Back in Willow Creek, their story reminded everyone that true friendship thrives on compromise and support.
