Founded in 2009 by MIT’s Space Systems Laboratory and astronaut Greg Chamitoff, Zero Robotics is a free-of-charge coding (编程) competition. Students get the extraordinary chance to program SPHERES satellites aboard the ISS. Teams start by taking on annual challenges in virtual simulations. The best teams then enter a thrilling live final on the ISS, with an astronaut in charge of the action. Tournament tracks at a Glance Tournament Grades/Age Duration Team Size Key Feature High School 9-12 (14-20 yrs) Sept-Dec 5-20 students Final on the ISS Middle School 5th-9th graders 5 weeks (Jun 24-Aug 2) 7-20 students Free training for beginners How to Participate Qualification (资格): High school students (not in college yet) from the US, Russia, ESA member states, and Australia can join the high school tournament. Middle school students are qualified for the middle school summer program. Team Setup: Each team must have a mentor, usually a teacher or staff member. For high school, typically one team per school (exception with permission), and for middle school, teams register before the set deadline. All students need to create their own accounts on the Zero Robotics platform. Participants can gain hands-on coding experience with real NASA satellites. It helps in developing teamwork skills, as teams cooperate closely. Exposure to space technology can stir up interest in STEM careers. Moreover, it’s a great addition to college applications, showing your commitment and skills in STEM fields.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍MIT等创办的免费编程赛事Zero Robotics，含初高中组赛事信息，说明参赛资格、组队要求及参与者能获的编程经验等益处。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tournament tracks at a Glance中表格，High School(高中组)的Team Size(团队人数)为“5-20 students”，Minimum team size(最小团队人数)是5人；Middle School(初中组)的Team Size 为“7-20 students”，Minimum team size是7人。两者最小团队人数差值为7-5=2。因此，两个赛事最小团队人数的差异是2。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据How to Participate部分中“Qualification: High school students (not in college yet) from the US, Russia, ESA member states, and Australia can join the high school tournament.(资格要求：来自美国、俄罗斯、欧洲航天局成员国和澳大利亚的高中生（尚未进入大学）可以参加高中组比赛。)”以及表格中High School对应的Grades/Age为“9-12 (14-20 yrs)” 可知，来自欧洲航天局成员国的9-12年级学生有资格参加高中组比赛。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Exposure to space technology can stir up interest in STEM careers.(接触太空技术可以激发对 STEM 领域职业的兴趣。)”可知，该比赛能让参与者接触太空技术，从而增加他们对STEM领域职业的兴趣，这是比赛给参与者带来的益处之一。故选B项。 B The sunmao (榫卯) method of joinery was commonly used in ancient Chinese architecture and furniture. But when modern technology discourages many in mastering this ancient skill, Jia Jing, a junior student at Hubei Ecology Polytechnic College, offers his answer. “It is essential to train young people in this craft,” said the 20-year-old. “Not only does it ensure the preservation of carpentry (木工) skills, but there exist delicate wooden artifacts from ancient times that machines still cannot repeat.” Growing up in a family with a carpenter father, Jia would constantly observe his father doing woodwork and sometimes assist him. This early exposure ignited (点燃) his passion and talent for carpentry. But as a child, he couldn’t build furniture on his own. So, he conveyed this passion into building with Lego bricks at the age of 8. “At that time, I would think before going to bed about what I would build tomorrow,” Jia recalled. “I brainstormed a framework in my mind, and the next day I would start building it.” This hobby significantly benefited Jia’s future furniture-making skills. Before making any piece, Jia can quickly sketch a draft in his mind, which proves useful during the carving process. When the moment arrived for Jia to head to college, he chose interior design at the suggestion of his father. Beyond his theoretical studies, Jia also signed up for school furniture-making training center. Sawing, planning, and carving wood repeatedly every day can be an extremely dull job for most young people. While other students were enjoying their college life, Jia had already learned to bear loneliness and focus on achieving excellence. “This experience not only improved my skills but also tested my character,” Jia said. Recently, Jia’s commitment to this craft achieved a significant milestone. He was chosen as one of the candidates to compete on behalf of China at the 47th World Skills Competition in Lyon, France next year. “If I can represent China on the global stage, I will exert all my efforts to become the winner,” Jia said. 4. Why should young people learn the sunmao method according to Jia Jing? A. It is key to making Chinese furniture. B. It is better than modern technology. C. It exhibits traditional Chinese culture. D. It exhibits ancient carpentry wisdom. 5. How did Lego benefit Jia Jing? A. Arousing his interest in carpentry. B. Assisting his father in furniture making. C. Improving his carpentry skills. D. Preparing him for his ideal university. 6. What did Jia sacrifice during his college time? A. His leisure time. B. His practical skills. C. His theoretical studies. D. His original character. 7. What can be the best title of this text? A. Making furniture against technology. B. Preserving carpentry inside Lego. C. Carving dreams in wood. D. Continuing passion on global stage. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇新闻报道。本文介绍了大学生贾京对木工技艺的热爱和执着追求，以及他参加世界技能大赛的经历和目标。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““It is essential to train young people in this craft,” said the 20-year-old. “Not only does it ensure the preservation of carpentry (木工) skills, but there exist delicate wooden artifacts from ancient times that machines still cannot repeat.”(这位20岁的年轻人说：“对年轻人进行这方面的培训很重要。”“它不仅确保了木工技能的保存，而且还保留了机器无法复制的古代精美木制工艺品。”)”可知，贾京认为它展示了古老的木工智慧，所以年轻人应学习榫卯结构。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But as a child, he couldn’t build furniture on his own. So, he conveyed this passion into building with Lego bricks at the age of 8.(但作为一个孩子，他不会自己做家具。所以，他在8岁的时候就把这种激情用乐高积木表达出来)”以及第四段““At that time, I would think before going to bed about what I would build tomorrow,” Jia recalled. “I brainstormed a framework in my mind, and the next day I would start building it.”(“那个时候，我会在睡觉前想明天要做什么，”贾回忆说。“我在脑海中集思广益地想出了一个框架，第二天就开始构建它。”)”和第五段“This hobby significantly benefited Jia’s future furniture-making skills.(这个爱好对他日后的家具制作技能有很大的帮助)”可知，搭建乐高提高他的木工技术。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“When the moment arrived for Jia to head to college, he chose interior design at the suggestion of his father. Beyond his theoretical studies, Jia also signed up for school furniture-making training center. Sawing, planning, and carving wood repeatedly every day can be an extremely dull job for most young people. While other students were enjoying their college life, Jia had already learned to bear loneliness and focus on achieving excellence.(当贾要上大学的时候，他在父亲的建议下选择了室内设计。除了理论学习，他还报名参加了学校的家具制作培训中心。对大多数年轻人来说，每天反复锯、刨、雕木头是一项极其枯燥的工作。当其他学生还在享受大学生活时，贾已经学会了忍受孤独，专注于追求卓越)”可知，贾京每天反复锯、刨、雕木头，在其他学生还在享受大学生活时，贾已经学会了忍受孤独，专注于追求卓越，推知他牺牲了他的闲暇时间。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Growing up in a family with a carpenter father, Jia would constantly observe his father doing woodwork and sometimes assist him. This early exposure ignited (点燃) his passion and talent for carpentry.(贾在一个木匠父亲的家庭长大，他经常观察父亲做木工，有时还会帮助他。这种早期的接触点燃了他对木工的热情和天赋)”以及倒数第二段“Recently, Jia’s commitment to this craft achieved a significant milestone. He was chosen as one of the candidates to compete on behalf of China at the 47th World Skills Competition in Lyon, France next year.(最近，贾的这一努力达到了一个重要的里程碑。他被选为候选人之一，代表中国参加明年在法国里昂举行的第47届世界技能大赛)”和最后一段““If I can represent China on the global stage, I will exert all my efforts to become the winner,” Jia said.(“如果我能在国际舞台上代表中国，我会尽我所能成为赢家，”贾说)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了大学生贾京对木工技艺的热爱和执着追求，以及他参加世界技能大赛的经历和目标，所以C项“用木头雕刻梦想”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 C Previously thought to be an exclusively human skill, knowing when a friend could use a clue appears to be a talent we share with our primate (灵长类) cousins. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland observed bonobos (倭黑猩猩) in a recent study point human experimenter in the direction of treats they wished to swallow up. In the study’s experiments, three male bonobos took turns to play a game with an experimenter where treats were hidden under upturned cups — sometimes while the experimenter was watching, and sometimes not. If the experimenter found the treat, it would be given to the bonobo, providing a motivation for the bonobos to share what they knew. The experiments showed the bonobos were more likely to gesture and to point more quickly at the cup hiding the treat when the experimenter didn’t know which cup hid the treat. It seems like a simple action, but it’s actually a new insight into how our closest relatives can think and assess the perspective of others. Previous studies have observed the bonobos warning their companions of danger, but these recent experiments remove elements of group mentality and survival ability, exploring cognitive functions of individuals. “The ability to sense gaps in one another’s knowledge is at the heart of our most advanced social behaviors, central to the ways we cooperate, communicate, and work together strategically,” says psychologist Chris Krupenye. “What we’ve shown here is that bonobos will communicate with a partner to change their behavior, but a key open question for further research is whether they are also pointing to change their partner’s mental state or their beliefs,” says psychologist Luke Townrow. This theory of mind — the capacity to understand that others have mental states of belief or perspective that might be different to one’s own — has typically been thought to distinguish human cognition from that of other animals. 8. What is a task of the experimenter? A. Monitor the treats. B. Pick out the cup with treats. C. Signal to the bonobos. D. Hide the treats under a cup. 9. In which aspect did bonobos react differently in the experiments? A. The eagerness of their gestures. B. The responses to getting the treats. C. The flexibility of their movements. D. The use of their different body parts. 10. What’s the finding of the study? A. Bonobos can warn others of danger. B. Bonobos have a sense of community. C. Bonobos are good at using body language. D. Bonobos can judge others’ state of knowledge. 11. What key question will the further study explore about bonobos? A How they form their perspectives. B. How they communicate with others. C. Whether they can influence others’ mind. D. Whether they can develop mental beliefs. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现倭黑猩猩可以判断他人的知识状况并且提供线索，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the study’s experiments, three male bonobos took turns to play a game with an experimenter where treats were hidden under upturned cups — sometimes while the experimenter was watching, and sometimes not. If the experimenter found the treat, it would be given to the bonobo, providing a motivation for the bonobos to share what they knew.(在这项研究的实验中，三只雄性倭黑猩猩轮流和一名实验者玩一个游戏，把食物藏在向上翘起的杯子里——有时实验者在场，有时不在场。如果实验人员找到了食物，就会把它给倭黑猩猩，为倭黑猩猩提供分享它们所知道的东西的动机)”可知，实验者的任务是选一个有零食的杯子。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The experiments showed the bonobos were more likely to gesture and to point more quickly at the cup hiding the treat when the experimenter didn’t know which cup hid the treat.(实验表明，当实验者不知道哪个杯子藏着食物时，倭黑猩猩更有可能做手势，并更快地指向藏着食物的杯子)”可知，就他们的手势的渴望程度而言倭黑猩猩的反应是不同的，故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Previous studies have observed the bonobos warning their companions of danger, but these recent experiments remove elements of group mentality and survival ability, exploring cognitive functions of individuals.(以前的研究观察到倭黑猩猩会警告同伴有危险，但这些最近的实验去掉了群体心理和生存能力的因素，探索了个体的认知功能)”可知，这项研究发现倭黑猩猩可以判断他人的知识状况。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““What we’ve shown here is that bonobos will communicate with a partner to change their behavior, but a key open question for further research is whether they are also pointing to change their partner’s mental state or their beliefs,” says psychologist Luke Townrow. This theory of mind — the capacity to understand that others have mental states of belief or perspective that might be different to one’s own — has typically been thought to distinguish human cognition from that of other animals.(心理学家Luke Townrow说：“我们在这里展示的是，倭黑猩猩会通过与伴侣交流来改变他们的行为，但进一步研究的一个关键问题是，它们是否也会改变伴侣的精神状态或信仰。”这种心智理论——理解他人的精神状态或观点可能与自己不同的能力——通常被认为是人类认知与其他动物的区别)”可知，进一步研究将探索倭黑猩猩是否能影响别人的思想。故选C。 D Maeve Higgins once set herself a task. The Irish-born comedian wanted to see what life would be like if she stopped laughing at things that weren’t funny. Turns out it wasn’t as easy as she thought. “It was so hard,” she says. “Laughter is a lubricant (润滑油) and is expected, and it’s really hard not to do it.” Higgins suggests there’s something particularly special about being part of the shared experience that is live comedy — that curious magic that occurs when people come together specifically to laugh. Comedy is more than just a pleasant way to pass an evening, humour more than something to amuse. They’re interwoven (交织) into our everyday existence. Whether you’re sharing an amusing story at a party, making a self-deprecating (自黑式的) joke after someone praises you or telling a dark joke at a funeral, humour is everywhere. But what is it for? And can humour, as comedy, change how we feel, what we think or even what we do? As an integral part of human interaction, humour has been on the minds of thinkers for centuries. One of the most enduring theories of humour was put forward by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes. It asserts that humour is ostensibly(表面上) about mocking the weak and exerting superiority. While this is clearly the function of some comedy, it’s far from a complete explanation for the overall purpose of humour. For some comedians, it’s not just about getting laughs — it’s about changing what we think and maybe even what we do. If there’s one comic who really personifies this, it’s Josie Long. A social justice activist and a comedian, Long has a reputation for delightful, optimistic humour and storytelling. As her career has evolved, she has consciously (有意识地) put social and political topics at the heart of her act. She believes that comedians have a role to play in challenging some of the most pressing issues of the day. British comic Stephen K Amos sells out venues seating thousands, year in, year out. Amos is convinced that when comics consciously tackle pressing or controversial (有争议的) social issues like racism, they can reach people on a much more meaningful level than that achieved by briefly lifting someone’s mood. And while it may be difficult to quantify, he says, the social and psychological impact of comedy deserves much greater recognition. The research backs this up. Although the role of comedy is to be entertaining first and foremost, Sharon Lockyer, a sociologist who studies humour, has identified a number of possible other functions. These include challenging stereotypes (刻板印象). Amos’s work frequently tackles the issues of race by upending (颠覆) stereotypes. “I don’t do things for shock value,” he says. “I do stuff that matters to me. In the old days it was just about making jokes. We’ve moved on — people are talking about things that matter. ” 12. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The benefits of laughing. B. What a comedian’s daily work is about. C. Why Maeve Higgins chose to be a comedian. D. Maeve Higgins’ understanding of the appeal of comedy. 13. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Protecting the weak from the evil. B. Encouraging people to be stronger. C. Being determined to improve oneself. D. Showing you are better than other people. 14. According to the article, how does comedy have an effect on social issues? A. By gradually influencing people’s attitudes. B. By urging politicians to try and solve the issues. C. By quickly yet thoroughly changing people’s thinking. D. By calling on the whole society to pay attention to the issues. 15. According to the article, the role of comedy includes _________. ①getting people to laugh ②promoting social progress ③influencing people’s ideas ④making people more productive A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍喜剧和幽默的意义、功能及在社会议题中发挥的作用。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Maeve Higgins once set herself a task. The Irish-born comedian wanted to see what life would be like if she stopped laughing at things that weren’t funny. (梅芙·希金斯曾给自己设定了一个任务。这位爱尔兰出生的喜剧演员想看看，如果她不再对那些不好笑的事情发笑，生活会是什么样子。)”可知，第一段主要介绍 Higgins 尝试停止对不好笑的事情发笑，结果发现很难做到的经历，结合第二段中的“Higgins suggests there’s something particularly special about being part of the shared experience that is live comedy — that curious magic that occurs when people come together specifically to laugh. (希金斯认为，参与现场喜剧这种共享体验有其特别之处——当人们专门聚在一起大笑时，会产生一种奇妙的魔力。)”可知，第二段则介绍了Higgins对现场喜剧的共鸣效应的看法，由此可知，前两段主要讲述了梅芙·希金斯对喜剧吸引力的理解。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“One of the most enduring theories of humour was put forward by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes. It asserts that humour is ostensibly (表面上) about mocking the weak and exerting superiority. (哲学家托马斯·霍布斯提出了最经久不衰的幽默理论之一。它断言，幽默表面上是关于嘲笑弱者和发挥优越感。)”可知，该短语可以理解为“表面上是在嘲笑弱者并显示优越感”，这解释了这种幽默形式的原理，即通过比较自己和他人来表达自我优越感。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“Amos is convinced that when comics consciously tackle pressing or controversial (有争议的) social issues like racism, they can reach people on a much more meaningful level than that achieved by briefly lifting someone’s mood. (阿莫斯坚信，当喜剧演员有意识地处理像种族主义这样紧迫或有争议的社会问题时，他们能以一种比短暂提升人们情绪更有意义的方式影响人们。)”可知，喜剧通过逐渐影响人们的态度对社会问题产生作用。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Comedy is more than just a pleasant way to pass an evening, humour more than something to amuse. (喜剧不仅仅是一种愉快的度过夜晚的方式，幽默也不仅仅是用来娱乐的东西。)”可知，喜剧能让人发笑（①）；根据第六段中的“She believes that comedians have a role to play in challenging some of the most pressing issues of the day. (她认为喜剧演员在挑战当今一些最紧迫的问题方面可以发挥作用。)”可知，喜剧能促进社会进步（②）；根据第五段中的“For some comedians, it’s not just about getting laughs — it’s about changing what we think and maybe even what we do. (对一些喜剧演员来说，这不仅仅是为了逗人发笑——而是为了改变我们的想法，甚至可能改变我们的行为。)”可知，喜剧能影响人们的想法（③）。文中未提及喜剧能让人们更有效率（④）。故选A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。 In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. ____16____ If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place.

When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall. “You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: His words made me pause and think. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】His words made me pause and think. As I reflected on his wisdom, I realized that I had been burying my own roots too deep, suffocating my growth and potential, no matter how often I was told about my talent in drawing. I had always unknowingly turned a deaf ear, forgetting to spread my roots outward, to seek nourishment and reach for the sky. Encouraged by Mr. Weston’ s words, I decided to reassess my approach to life and started branching out . The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. Once I was there, I discovered that I didn’t have to be like Emily, jumping into some unfamiliar faces around to prove I was a real artist. From landscapes to portraits, and water color to oil painting, each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention I had never experienced before. I began to make friends with other kids, the boat in my stomach rocking gently in calm waters. It was here that I truly flourished, drawing my own way to reach out for a whole new world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者有绘画天赋，想要参加艺术营，又因为很难像朋友艾米丽一样融入群体而不敢于去参与。作者在画松树的时候遇到了Weston老师，老师的话给了作者启发。作者意识到应该重新评估自己对于生活的态度。作者决定去参加艺术营，在画画的时候专心致志，交到了朋友，也接触了一个全新的世界。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他的话使我停下来思考。”可知，第一段可描写作者听了Weston老师的话之后对于自己生活态度的思考及想法的改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“下个星期一，我报名参加了艺术营。”可知，第二段可描写作者参加艺术营的经历和感受。 2.续写线索：引发思考——态度转变——决定参加艺术营——经历——感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②决定做某事：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do 发现：discover/spot 情绪类 ①受鼓舞的：encouraged/inspired ②平静的：calm/peaceful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Founded in 2009 by MIT’s Space Systems Laboratory and astronaut Greg Chamitoff, Zero Robotics is a free-of-charge coding (编程) competition. Students get the extraordinary chance to program SPHERES satellites aboard the ISS. Teams start by taking on annual challenges in virtual simulations. The best teams then enter a thrilling live final on the ISS, with an astronaut in charge of the action. Tournament tracks at a Glance Tournament Grades/Age Duration Team Size Key Feature High School 9-12 (14-20 yrs) Sept-Dec 5-20 students Final on the ISS Middle School 5th-9th graders 5 weeks (Jun 24-Aug 2) 7-20 students Free training for beginners How to Participate Qualification (资格): High school students (not in college yet) from the US, Russia, ESA member states, and Australia can join the high school tournament. Middle school students are qualified for the middle school summer program. Team Setup: Each team must have a mentor, usually a teacher or staff member. For high school, typically one team per school (exception with permission), and for middle school, teams register before the set deadline. All students need to create their own accounts on the Zero Robotics platform. Participants can gain hands-on coding experience with real NASA satellites. It helps in developing teamwork skills, as teams cooperate closely. Exposure to space technology can stir up interest in STEM careers. Moreover, it’s a great addition to college applications, showing your commitment and skills in STEM fields.

But when modern technology discourages many in mastering this ancient skill, Jia Jing, a junior student at Hubei Ecology Polytechnic College, offers his answer. “It is essential to train young people in this craft,” said the 20-year-old. “Not only does it ensure the preservation of carpentry (木工) skills, but there exist delicate wooden artifacts from ancient times that machines still cannot repeat.” Growing up in a family with a carpenter father, Jia would constantly observe his father doing woodwork and sometimes assist him. This early exposure ignited (点燃) his passion and talent for carpentry. But as a child, he couldn’t build furniture on his own. So, he conveyed this passion into building with Lego bricks at the age of 8. “At that time, I would think before going to bed about what I would build tomorrow,” Jia recalled. “I brainstormed a framework in my mind, and the next day I would start building it.” This hobby significantly benefited Jia’s future furniture-making skills. Before making any piece, Jia can quickly sketch a draft in his mind, which proves useful during the carving process. When the moment arrived for Jia to head to college, he chose interior design at the suggestion of his father. Beyond his theoretical studies, Jia also signed up for school furniture-making training center. Sawing, planning, and carving wood repeatedly every day can be an extremely dull job for most young people. While other students were enjoying their college life, Jia had already learned to bear loneliness and focus on achieving excellence. “This experience not only improved my skills but also tested my character,” Jia said. Recently, Jia’s commitment to this craft achieved a significant milestone. He was chosen as one of the candidates to compete on behalf of China at the 47th World Skills Competition in Lyon, France next year. “If I can represent China on the global stage, I will exert all my efforts to become the winner,” Jia said. 4. Why should young people learn the sunmao method according to Jia Jing? A. It is key to making Chinese furniture. B. It is better than modern technology. C. It exhibits traditional Chinese culture. D. It exhibits ancient carpentry wisdom. 5. How did Lego benefit Jia Jing? A. Arousing his interest in carpentry. B. Assisting his father in furniture making. C. Improving his carpentry skills. D. Preparing him for his ideal university. 6. What did Jia sacrifice during his college time? A. His leisure time. B. His practical skills. C. His theoretical studies. D. His original character. 7. What can be the best title of this text? A. Making furniture against technology. B. Preserving carpentry inside Lego. C. Carving dreams in wood. D. Continuing passion on global stage. C Previously thought to be an exclusively human skill, knowing when a friend could use a clue appears to be a talent we share with our primate (灵长类) cousins. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland observed bonobos (倭黑猩猩) in a recent study point human experimenter in the direction of treats they wished to swallow up. In the study’s experiments, three male bonobos took turns to play a game with an experimenter where treats were hidden under upturned cups — sometimes while the experimenter was watching, and sometimes not. If the experimenter found the treat, it would be given to the bonobo, providing a motivation for the bonobos to share what they knew. The experiments showed the bonobos were more likely to gesture and to point more quickly at the cup hiding the treat when the experimenter didn’t know which cup hid the treat. It seems like a simple action, but it’s actually a new insight into how our closest relatives can think and assess the perspective of others. Previous studies have observed the bonobos warning their companions of danger, but these recent experiments remove elements of group mentality and survival ability, exploring cognitive functions of individuals. “The ability to sense gaps in one another’s knowledge is at the heart of our most advanced social behaviors central to the ways we cooperate, communicate, and work together strategically,” says psychologist Chris Krupenye. “What we’ve shown here is that bonobos will communicate with a partner to change their behavior, but a key open question for further research is whether they are also pointing to change their partner’s mental state or their beliefs,” says psychologist Luke Townrow. This theory of mind — the capacity to understand that others have mental states of belief or perspective that might be different to one’s own — has typically been thought to distinguish human cognition from that of other animals. 8. What is a task of the experimenter? A. Monitor the treats. B. Pick out the cup with treats. C. Signal to the bonobos. D. Hide the treats under a cup. 9. In which aspect did bonobos react differently in the experiments? A. The eagerness of their gestures. B. The responses to getting the treats. C. The flexibility of their movements. D. The use of their different body parts. 10. What’s the finding of the study? A Bonobos can warn others of danger. B. Bonobos have a sense of community. C. Bonobos are good at using body language. D. Bonobos can judge others’ state of knowledge. 11. What key question will the further study explore about bonobos? A. How they form their perspectives. B. How they communicate with others. C. Whether they can influence others’ mind. D. Whether they can develop mental beliefs. D Maeve Higgins once set herself a task. The Irish-born comedian wanted to see what life would be like if she stopped laughing at things that weren’t funny. Turns out it wasn’t as easy as she thought. “It was so hard,” she says. “Laughter is a lubricant (润滑油) and is expected, and it’s really hard not to do it.” Higgins suggests there’s something particularly special about being part of the shared experience that is live comedy — that curious magic that occurs when people come together specifically to laugh. Comedy is more than just a pleasant way to pass an evening, humour more than something to amuse. They’re interwoven (交织) into our everyday existence. Whether you’re sharing an amusing story at a party, making a self-deprecating (自黑式的) joke after someone praises you or telling a dark joke at a funeral, humour is everywhere. But what is it for? And can humour, as comedy, change how we feel, what we think or even what we do? As an integral part of human interaction, humour has been on the minds of thinkers for centuries. One of the most enduring theories of humour was put forward by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes. It asserts that humour is ostensibly(表面上) about mocking the weak and exerting superiority. While this is clearly the function of some comedy, it’s far from a complete explanation for the overall purpose of humour. For some comedians, it’s not just about getting laughs — it’s about changing what we think and maybe even what we do. If there’s one comic who really personifies this, it’s Josie Long. A social justice activist and a comedian, Long has a reputation for delightful, optimistic humour and storytelling. As her career has evolved, she has consciously (有意识地) put social and political topics at the heart of her act. She believes that comedians have a role to play in challenging some of the most pressing issues of the day. British comic Stephen K Amos sells out venues seating thousands, year in, year out. Amos is convinced that when comics consciously tackle pressing or controversial (有争议的) social issues like racism, they can reach people on a much more meaningful level than that achieved by briefly lifting someone’s mood. And while it may be difficult to quantify, he says, the social and psychological impact of comedy deserves much greater recognition. The research backs this up. Although the role of comedy is to be entertaining first and foremost, Sharon Lockyer, a sociologist who studies humour, has identified a number of possible other functions. These include challenging stereotypes (刻板印象). Amos’s work frequently tackles the issues of race by upending (颠覆) stereotypes. “I don’t do things for shock value,” he says. “I do stuff that matters to me. In the old days it was just about making jokes. We’ve moved on — people are talking about things that matter. ” 12. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The benefits of laughing. B. What a comedian’s daily work is about. C Why Maeve Higgins chose to be a comedian. D. Maeve Higgins’ understanding of the appeal of comedy. 13. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Protecting the weak from the evil. B. Encouraging people to be stronger. C. Being determined to improve oneself. D. Showing you are better than other people. 14. According to the article, how does comedy have an effect on social issues? A. By gradually influencing people’s attitudes. B By urging politicians to try and solve the issues. C. By quickly yet thoroughly changing people’s thinking. D. By calling on the whole society to pay attention to the issues. 15. According to the article, the role of comedy includes _________. ①getting people to laugh ②promoting social progress ③influencing people’s ideas ④making people more productive A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 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。 In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. ____16____ If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place.

When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall. “You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. 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。 Paragraph 1: His words made me pause and think. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
