In 2015, a free online financial education course named FutureSmart was introduced to middle school students, specifically targeting this group at a time in their lives when financial habits take hold and grow. Fast forward to today, FutureSmart, available in English and Spanish, has reached over 13,000 schools across all 50 states. More than two million students have completed the course, with almost half coming from low-to-moderate income families. But we aren’t stopping there. We promise to reach four million more students by the end of 2025. Why? Because this moment calls for brave action. Never before have money management and investment decisions been so easy to conduct at any time or place through the use of a smartphone. It is time to offer students more critical financial literacy education to encourage them to make good financial decisions on a daily basis as they make their way through a complex world. From weighing opportunity costs to delaying instant satisfaction for long-term financial gain, FutureSmart educates our youth using hands-on simulations (模拟) to introduce concepts like daily financial decisions and the rewards of long-term planning. Teaching young learners how to build solid financial foundations is an important step in building financially healthy communities. Although our work is far from complete, we know that FutureSmart works. And it works exceptionally well. In the largest study of its kind, supported by the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI, the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) recently concluded that 90% of students saw a statistically significant and educationally meaningful increase in knowledge after taking the FutureSmart course. What’s more, these results were consistent across all student demographics including race, age, gender, school year, and socioeconomic status. We have a long way to go to reach every single middle school student, but we welcome the challenge. Together, our teams have started a movement to provide equal access to financial education, and we invite others to join us. Visit getfuturesmart. com to learn more and see how you can bring FutureSmart to the young people in your life. MICHAEL FANNING RAY MARTINEZ Head of MassMutual US President and Co-Founder of EVERFI 21. The course FutureSmart .

(从权衡机会成本到为了长期财务收益而推迟即时满足，FutureSmart通过实际模拟教育我们的年轻人，介绍日常财务决策和长期规划奖励等概念。)”可知，FutureSmart通过模拟现实情况引入金融概念。故选C。 23.推理判断题。根据第六段末句“Teaching young learners how to build solid financial foundations is an important step in building financially healthy communities. (教年轻人如何建立坚实的财务基础是建立财务健康社区的重要一步。)”以及第七段“Although our work is far from complete, we know that FutureSmart works. And it works exceptionally well. (虽然我们的工作还远未完成，但我们知道FutureSmart是可行的。而且效果非常好。)”可知，FutureSmart课程是为了教年轻人如何建立坚实的财务基础，且效果非常好。所以，学习完课程后，学生应该能够为未来建立一个稳定的财务基础。故选D。 B “No,” Mama Lil said it plain and simple. “I ain’t never heard of no girls to be doing that. Bebe, you need to be getting yourself a real summer job, something civilized.” I’d been living with Mama Lil since I was six, when my own mama and daddy were killed in an apartment building fire. Lillian Johns was my mom’s mother. Everybody on our street called her Mama Lil and that was what I called her too. I had been butting heads with her ever since I could remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced. For weeks I’d been asking Mama Lil to let me join the youth renovation (修缮) team. It was a group of kids who had been chosen by city officials to work with engineers to help repair the Brooklyn Bridge. The project would last the summer and pay good money. It would help me get to college, where I wanted to study engineering. But for Mama Lil, the thing that made her the most stubborn this time, was exactly my dream of becoming an engineer. In some respects, Mama Lil was right. It was true that there weren’t many black women engineers. But I wanted to build bridges more than anything. “Let me go, Mama Lil,” I begged softly. Mama Lil sat as still as a statue. “Mama Lil,” I said carefully, “if you don’t sign the bridge project permission form, I will sign it myself. Nobody will know the difference.” The next morning, Mama Lil’s eyes looked red-tired. “I’m going to the bridge,” I said firmly. “I know, Bebe,” she said. From her housedress pocket, she took out a pen and signed the form. “Bebe, that bridge is lucky to have you,” she said. I hugged Mama Lil good and hard, smiling big, right at her. … Ahead, in the distance, stood the Brooklyn Bridge. This was the best spot to see the bridge. I’d come to this corner and studied the bridge a million times. And on every one of those times, I was taken with what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle. At night, Belle was dressed in tiny light. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other in the whole city. Jeweled in light. Beautiful. I had drawn Belle in the high-noon light, at sunset, on snowy days, and on foggy twilight mornings... I was proud of my drawings, but with each page they showed a sad truth about Belle: She needed repair. That bridge renovation project needed me; and I needed it, in more ways than I could count. 24. Mama Lil refused to sign the permission form mainly because ______. A. she had become stubborn in her old age B. she wouldn’t allow Bebe to have a summer job C. she thought the bridge project was too dangerous D. she didn’t support Bebe’s desire to be an engineer 25. What can we learn from the story? A. Bebe lost her parents in the bridge project. B. Bebe liked to draw the bridge on winter mornings. C. Bebe and Mama Lil often got into arguments with each other. D. Bebe called her grandma Mama Lil because she was her mom’s mother. 26. By mentioning the name “Brooklyn Belle”, the author intends to help readers ______. A. recall the history of the bridge B. appreciate the bridge’s beauty C. ignore the damage to the bridge D. imagine the bridge’s future look 27. Which of the following could be the theme of this story? A. Dreams know no color or gender. B. Elders always make the best decisions. C. Conflict usually resolves itself in the end. D. Pride wins out but makes things more difficult. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者想要参加修复布鲁克林大桥的项目，作者的外婆不允许作者当工程师，因为当时黑人女性工程师并不多，但是最后她的外婆终于同意了。 24. 细节理解题。根据第四段的“But for Mama Lil, the thing that made her the most stubborn this time, was exactly my dream of becoming an engineer.”（但对Mama Lil来说，这次让她最固执的事情，恰恰是我想成为一名工程师的梦想。）可知，Mama Lil拒绝在这份同意书上签字，主要是因为她不支持Bebe想成为一名工程师的愿望，故选D。 25.细节理解题。根据第二段的“I had been butting heads with her ever since I could remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced.”（从记事起，我就一直与她作对。随着年龄的增长，我们之间的矛盾越来越多，我们经历的冲突也越来越多。）可知，Bebe和Mama Lil经常吵架。故选C。 26. 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“And on every one of those times, I was taken with what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle.”（每一次，我都被我称之为Brooklyn Belle的东西迷住了。）和倒数第二段的“At night, Belle was dressed in tiny light. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other in the whole city. Jeweled in light. Beautiful.”（晚上，微弱的灯光洒在Belle身上。在这样一个万里无云的夜晚，她的身影在整个城市里是绝无仅有的。饰有宝石的光。美丽。）可知，通过提到“Brooklyn Belle”这个名字，作者想帮助读者欣赏这座桥的美丽，故选B。 27. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段的“It was true that there weren’t many black women engineers. But I wanted to build bridges more than anything.”（的确，当时黑人女性工程师并不多。但我最想做的是修建桥梁。）可知，本文主要讲的是作者虽然是黑人，但是却想当工程师修建桥梁，因此本文的主题是“梦不分肤色和性别”，即Dreams know no color or gender，故选A。 C （新话题）Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. That’s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved. But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon. For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare. Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager — Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself. “The independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944. And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicist s. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts. “Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.” Especially considering what Einstein was proposing. “The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!” Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. “It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you’ll find the solution.” Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his “miracle year” of1905. These “thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations. What might happen to such a submission today? “We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.” 28. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs? A. Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits. B. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges. C. It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory. D. No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years. 29. What was critical to Einstein’s success? A. His solid foundation in math theory. B. His independent and abstract thinking. C. His talent as an accomplished musician. D. His untiring effort to fulfill his potential. 30. What does the author tell us about physicist s today? A. They tend to neglect training in analytical skills. B. They are very good at solving practical problems. C. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits. D. They attach great importance to publishing academic papers. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨是否会再出现爱因斯坦式的科学伟人及相关制约因素。 28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton. (科学家们说，一个新的爱因斯坦将会出现。但这可能需要很长时间。毕竟，爱因斯坦和他最接近的对手艾萨克・牛顿相隔了200多年)”以及第二段中的“Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. (许多物理学家说，下一个爱因斯坦还没有出生，或者现在还是个婴儿)”可知，科学家们一致认为新的爱因斯坦式人物的出现还需要很长时间。故选B项。 29. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenage — Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself. (爱因斯坦成长过程中一个被忽视的关键因素是他青少年时期读过的多年哲学著作 —— 康德、叔本华、斯宾诺莎等人的作品。这教会了他如何独立且抽象地思考空间和时间，不久之后他自己也成了一名哲学家)”可知，独立且抽象的思维能力是爱因斯坦成功的关键。故选B项。 30. 细节理解题。根据第八段中的“Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts. (如今，大学已经培养了数百万名物理学家。科学领域的工作岗位并不多，所以他们去了华尔街和硅谷，将自己的分析技能应用到更实际且回报更高的工作中)”可知，如今的物理学家们往往会进入经济效益更高的领域。故选C项。 D （新热点）In the 20th century, the definition of progress seemed clear. It was growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). And that growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. No matter how rich a nation already was, its politicians and economists would consistently claim that the solutions to its problems — from poverty to pollution — depended on yet more growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. First, it’s useful to recognize that growth, after all, is a wonderful, healthy phase of life, which is why people the world over love to see children, gardens and trees grow. No wonder the western mind so readily accepted it as the shape of economic progress, too, and simultaneously adopted the very 20th-century mantra that “more is better”, both personally and nationally. Yet if we look to nature, it’s clear that nothing succeeds by growing forever: anything that seeks to do so will, in the process, destroy itself or the system on which it depends. Things that succeed grow until they are grown up, at which point they mature, enabling them to thrive, sometimes for hundreds of years. As the biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. Although we can easily appreciate the limits of growth in the living world, when it comes to our economies, we have a harder time. Thanks to the availability of cheap fossil fuel-based energy in the 20th century, rapid economic growth came to be seen as normal and natural, indeed as essential. Its continuation over many decades led to the creation of institutional designs and policies that are dependent on growth without end. In other words, we have inherited economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. Instead of excessively pursuing growth, it is time to pursue well-being for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance, one that aims to meet the essential needs of every person while protecting the life-supporting systems of our planetary home. Tackling inequality needs to be at the heart of a new eco-social contract. Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. It can also help to block the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few, therefore avoiding a system that advantages the already wealthy. When we turn away from growth as the goal, we can focus directly on asking what it would take to deliver social and ecological well-being, through an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. There are many possibilities — such as driving a low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation, with a green jobs guarantee, alongside personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. Policies like these were, only a decade ago, considered too radical to be realistic. Today they look nothing less than essential. 31. The author cites Janine Benyus to illustrate that . A. growth should be limited to protect the resources B. unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable C. the view that “more is better” also applies to nature D. nature provides a perfect model for economic growth 32. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hard to tell. B. Tricky to tackle. C. Difficult to understand. D. Tough to achieve. 33. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. people tend to use resources more reasonably with improved equality B. wealth and power should be distributed to the advantage of rich people C. the requirement for growth is easily adaptable to changing economic conditions D. a balance between social and ecological well-being can be reached within endless growth 34. Which of the following best describes the organization of this article? A. Identifying a pressing problem, offering various solutions, and evaluating their effectiveness. B. Explaining a natural process, relating it to human activities, and suggesting a change in view. C. Presenting a traditional view, discussing its appeal and limitations, and proposing a new approach. D. Introducing a well-known theory, comparing it with another theory, and suggesting improvements. 【答案】31.B 32. D 33. A 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要批判以无限经济增长定义进步的传统观念，指出其不可持续性，并提出以全民福祉和生态平衡为核心的新发展理念。 31. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As the biomimicry pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. (正如仿生学先驱简宁·贝尼乌斯提醒我们的那样，一棵树只会生长到它仍能将养分输送到树枝最顶端的叶子的程度，之后就会停止生长。它对生长的追求，受制于一个更宏大的目标，即分配和循环那些滋养并维持其整体健康的资源。)”可知，作者引用简宁·贝尼乌斯的观点，是为了说明无限制的增长并非具有可持续性。故选B项。 32. 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. (这种增长需求已经深深植根于经济理论、政治叙事和公众期望之中，以至于近几十年来，当增长变得elusive时，我们看到了种种孤注一掷且往往具有破坏性的举措，旨在重新推动增长。)”可知，人们会采取极端措施重启增长，由此推测“elusive”的含义是“难以实现的”，与“tough to achieve”意思相近。故选D项。 33. 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. (这不仅能提升生活满意度，还有充分证据表明，更大程度的公平与更为适度的消费之间存在关联，因此这也有助于我们缩小国家的生态足迹。)”可知，社会公平度的提升会促使人们消费更适度，进而更合理地利用资源。故选A项。 34. 推理判断题。通读全文，第一段先提出20世纪以GDP增长定义进步的传统观念；第二、三段论述该观念的由来及自然界中增长存在边界的局限性；第四、五段指出无限增长需求对经济和社会的负面影响；第六至八段提出以全民福祉和生态平衡为目标的新发展理念及相关政策。因此文章的结构是“提出传统观点—探讨其吸引力与局限性—提出新方案”。故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （新语境）Walking is becoming a hot research topic among health scientists. It’s arguably the most accessible form of exercise available to us and mounting research shows it’s good for health. Walking three times a week nearly halves the recurrence of back pain according to research published in 2024, while another study from that year found that hitting 10,000 steps a day lowers your risk of heart disease. ____35____ In terms of burning calories and weight loss more generally, the research unsurprisingly shows that walking is less effective than more intense forms of exercise, like running or weightlifting. The amount of calories you can burn depends on a number of factors, but the average person gets through a modest 250 calories walking for an hour at a moderate, unstrained pace. If walking is the only thing you’re doing, it’s unlikely to move the needle very far on the weighing scales. ____36____ A 2017 study in the Journal of Nutrition found obese and overweight people who walked 2.5 hours a week, along with following a diet, lost more weight and fat mass than people who just followed the diet. There are ways to step up your walking, of course. ____37____ The journal Obesity reports that out of people on a long-term weight-loss programme, the ones who lost more than 10 percent of their starting weight were clocking 10,000 steps a day at the 6-, 12-and 18-month intervals. You have to keep it up, in other words. Next, pick up the pace. ____38____ Exercise scientists class slow walking as light exercise, but increase your efforts and it becomes moderate exercise, which is better for your heart, lungs and-muscles. Experts usually suggest that a pace of 5 km/h is moderate. Anything else you can do to make the walk harder will also increase the number of calories you burn. Swinging or pumping your arms is a good example. ____39____ Walking up hills or on an incline (斜坡) can also dramatically increase the number of calories you burn because it ramps up your heart rate and the muscle activation in your legs. One study suggests that an incline of five percent increases the metabolic cost of walking by 17 percent, while a 10-percent incline increases it by 32 percent. A. So is walking on uneven land or into a headwind. B. You can also walk off excess body weight — to an extent. C. Adding short jogging bursts during walks may boost calorie burning. D. The most obvious is distance — walk further and you’ll burn more calories. E. Apparently, there’s a big difference between a gentle stroll and a purposeful walk. F. Wearing a smartwatch to track incline intensity could optimize walking efficiency. G. Research shows that it can improve the effects of a calorie-restricted diet, however. 【答案】35. B 36. G 37. D 38. E 39. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍步行对健康的益处，以及提升步行减肥效果的相关方法。 35. 根据上文“Walking three times a week nearly halves the recurrence of back pain according to research published in 2024, while another study from that year found that hitting 10,000 steps a day lowers your risk of heart disease.(根据2024年发表的一项研究，每周步行三次几乎能使背痛的复发率减半，而同一年的另一项研究发现，每天走10000步可以降低患心脏病的风险)”以及下文“In terms of burning calories and weight loss more generally, the research unsurprisingly shows that walking is less effective than more intense forms of exercise, like running or weightlifting.(更普遍地说，在燃烧卡路里和减肥方面，研究不出所料地表明，步行不如跑步或举重等强度更大的运动有效)”可知，空格处需要转折过渡，衔接步行的益处和其在燃脂减肥方面的局限性。B选项“You can also walk off excess body weight — to an extent.(在某种程度上，你也可以通过步行减掉多余的体重)”既承接上文步行的好处，又通过to an extent引出下文步行在减肥上的局限性，符合语境。故选B项。 36. 根据上文“If walking is the only thing you’re doing, it’s unlikely to move the needle very far on the weighing scales.(如果你只靠步行减肥，那么体重秤上的数字不太可能有太大变化)”以及下文“A 2017 study in the Journal of Nutrition found obese and overweight people who walked 2.5 hours a week, along with following a diet, lost more weight and fat mass than people who just followed the diet.(《营养学杂志》2017年的一项研究发现，每周步行2.5小时并配合节食的肥胖和超重人群，比单纯节食的人减掉了更多的体重和脂肪量)”可知，空格处应转折说明步行结合节食会有更好的减肥效果。G选项“Research shows that it can improve the effects of a calorie-restricted diet, however.(然而，研究表明，它可以提升限制热量摄入饮食的效果)”中的it指代步行，improve the effects of a calorie-restricted diet与下文步行结合节食的研究结果相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 37. 根据上文“There are ways to step up your walking, of course.(当然，有一些方法可以提升你的步行效果)”以及下文“The journal Obesity reports that out of people on a long-term weight-loss programme, the ones who lost more than 10 percent of their starting weight were clocking 10,000 steps a day at the 6-, 12-and 18-month intervals.(《肥胖》杂志报道称，在参与长期减肥计划的人群中，那些在第6、12和18个月时体重减轻超过初始体重10%的人，每天都走够了10000步)”可知，空格处应提出提升步行效果的第一个方法，且与步行距离相关。D 选项“The most obvious is distance — walk further and you’ll burn more calories.(最明显的方法就是增加距离 —— 走得越远，燃烧的卡路里就越多)”中的distance和下文10,000 steps a day相呼应，符合语境。故选D项。 38. 根据上文“Next, pick up the pace.(接下来，加快步伐)”以及下文“Exercise scientists class slow walking as light exercise, but increase your efforts and it becomes moderate exercise, which is better for your heart, lungs and muscles.(运动科学家将慢速步行归类为轻度运动，但加大运动量后，它就变成了中度运动，这对心脏、肺部和肌肉更有益)”可知，空格处应强调步行速度不同，运动效果也不同。E选项“Apparently, there’s a big difference between a gentle stroll and a purposeful walk.(显然，悠闲散步和有目标的快走之间有很大区别)”中的gentle stroll对应慢速步行，purposeful walk对应加快步伐的步行，与下文内容相呼应，符合语境。故选E项。 39. 根据上文“Anything else you can do to make the walk harder will also increase the number of calories you burn. Swinging or pumping your arms is a good example.(任何能让步行变得更费力的方法都能增加卡路里的燃烧量。摆动或用力挥动双臂就是一个很好的例子)”以及下文 “Walking up hills or on an incline can also dramatically increase the number of calories you burn because it ramps up your heart rate and the muscle activation in your legs.(上坡或在斜坡上行走也能显著增加卡路里的燃烧量，因为这会提高心率，激活腿部肌肉)”可知，空格处应列举另一种增加步行难度的方法。A选项“So is walking on uneven land or into a headwind.(在不平坦的路面行走或逆风行走也是如此)”与上文的挥臂、下文的上坡行走并列，都是提升步行难度的方式，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 （新题材）We all love to criticize, but unfortunately, we also hate being criticized. We freely post and comment on others, but feel annoyed at the way others assess us, both online and in person. The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon. Fortunately, though, each of us can change how we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely to harm others, more resistant to being angry, and better able to benefit from feedback — even when it is negative. Criticism is defined as judgment of the merits (优点) and faults of something or someone in written or spoken form. Technically, criticism can include praise, but that isn’t what concerns us here. What annoys us is criticism of the negative variety, even when well-intentioned — so-called constructive criticism, which means to provide guidance so we can improve. Worst of all is destructive criticism, which aims to cause hurt or damage. The culture of criticism isn’t going away. The only way to flourish (繁荣) in it, and despite it, is to adopt new habits of getting and giving critical feedback. One rule is to assume that criticism, even when it seems personal, is not actually about you personally. When we receive criticism, we make it personal in two ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Second, we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our natural abilities, rather than on our performance. Interestingly, even among young children, research shows that viewing criticism as a judgment on one’s abilities can lead to lower self-worth, lower positive mood, and less persistence at tasks. If taking criticism is particularly hard for you, you are not alone. However, taking criticism badly is more embarrassing, ultimately, than the criticism itself. If we do the work to learn to accept negative feedback, we will be much better off. 40. What will be the results of changing the way we give and take criticism? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What is the difference between constructive and destructive criticism? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth because they take criticism as a judgment on their performance. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What benefit(s) would you gain from learning to accept negative feedback? (In about 40 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. We will be less likely to harm others, more resistant to being angry, and better able to benefit from feedback— even when it is negative. 41. Constructive criticism means to provide guidance so we can improve, while destructive criticism aims to cause hurt or damage. 42. Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth because they take criticism as a judgment on their performance. They take criticism as a judgment on their abilities 43. Learning to accept negative feedback can help us resist anger more easily and criticize more correctly. In addition, accepting negative feedback can help us put our shortcomings in perspective, correct our mistakes and improve ourselves. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，说明了批评对我们的影响及我们应如何正确地对待批评。 40. 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Fortunately, though, each of us can change how we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely to harm others, more resistant to being angry, and better able to benefit from feedback— even when it is negative.(幸运的是，我们每个人都可以改变我们给予和接受批评的方式，这将使我们不太可能伤害别人，更抵制愤怒，并能更好地从反馈中获益——即使是消极的反馈)”可知，改变我们给予和接受批评的方式会使我们不太可能伤害别人，更抵制愤怒，并能更好地从反馈中获益——即使是消极的反馈。故答案为We will be less likely to harm others, more resistant to being angry, and better able to benefit from feedback — even when it is negative. 41. 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“What annoys us is criticism of the negative variety, even when well-intentioned — so-called constructive criticism, which means to provide guidance so we can improve. Worst of all is destructive criticism, which aims to cause hurt or damage.(让我们烦恼的是负面的批评，即使是善意的所谓建设性的批评，也意味着提供指导，让我们提高。最糟糕的是破坏性的批评，它的目的是造成伤害或破坏)”可知，建设性的批评是指提供指导，使我们能够改进，而破坏性的批评旨在造成伤害或损害。故答案为Constructive criticism means to provide guidance so we can improve, while destructive criticism aims to cause hurt or damage. 42. 考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段“Second, we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our natural abilities, rather than on our performance. Interestingly, even among young children, research shows that viewing criticism as a judgment on one’s abilities can lead to lower self-worth, lower positive mood, and less persistence at tasks.(第二，我们倾向于认为批评是对我们天生能力的判断，而不是对我们的表现的判断。有趣的是，研究表明，即使是在年幼的孩子中，将批评视为对一个人能力的判断，也会导致自我价值降低、积极情绪降低、任务坚持度降低)”可推知，接受批评的孩子自我价值较低，因为他们把批评当成对自己能力的评判，而不是表现得判断。故答案为Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth because they take criticism as a judgment on their performance./They take criticism as a judgment on their abilities. 43. 开放性试题。根据文章最后一段“If we do the work to learn to accept negative feedback, we will be much better off.(如果我们努力学习接受负面反馈，我们就会变得更好)”可知，学习接受负面反馈能帮助我们更容易抵制愤怒，同时更正确地进行批评。此外，接受负面反馈还能帮助我们正确地看待自己的不足，纠正错误并提高自己。故答案为Learning to accept negative feedback can help us resist anger more easily and criticize more correctly. In addition, accepting negative feedback can help us put our shortcomings in perspective, correct our mistakes and improve ourselves. 第二节（20分） 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jim对你校即将开展的“青春创意，温暖邻里”的社区公益活动很感兴趣，发来邮件向你询问。请你用英文给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 活动内容； 2. 活动意义。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 社区公益活动：community volunteer activity 青春创意，温暖邻里： Youth Creativity, Warm Neighborhoods Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m thrilled to hear about your interest in our upcoming community volunteer activity, “Youth Creativity, Warm Neighborhoods”.

In 2015, a free online financial education course named FutureSmart was introduced to middle school students, specifically targeting this group at a time in their lives when financial habits take hold and grow. Fast forward to today, FutureSmart, available in English and Spanish, has reached over 13,000 schools across all 50 states. More than two million students have completed the course, with almost half coming from low-to-moderate income families. But we aren’t stopping there. We promise to reach four million more students by the end of 2025. Why? Because this moment calls for brave action. Never before have money management and investment decisions been so easy to conduct at any time or place through the use of a smartphone. It is time to offer students more critical financial literacy education to encourage them to make good financial decisions on a daily basis as they make their way through a complex world. From weighing opportunity costs to delaying instant satisfaction for long-term financial gain, FutureSmart educates our youth using hands-on simulations (模拟) to introduce concepts like daily financial decisions and the rewards of long-term planning. Teaching young learners how to build solid financial foundations is an important step in building financially healthy communities. Although our work is far from complete, we know that FutureSmart works. And it works exceptionally well. In the largest study of its kind, supported by the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI, the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) recently concluded that 90% of students saw a statistically significant and educationally meaningful increase in knowledge after taking the FutureSmart course. What’s more, these results were consistent across all student demographics including race, age, gender, school year, and socioeconomic status. We have a long way to go to reach every single middle school student, but we welcome the challenge. Together, our teams have started a movement to provide equal access to financial education, and we invite others to join us. Visit getfuturesmart. com to learn more and see how you can bring FutureSmart to the young people in your life. MICHAEL FANNING RAY MARTINEZ Head of MassMutual US President and Co-Founder of EVERFI 21. The course FutureSmart . A. is offered in two different languages B. requires skillful smartphone operation C. has been bought by a large number of schools D. targets students from low-to-moderate income families 22. How does FutureSmart introduce financial concepts? A. By establishing financially healthy communities. B. By managing opportunities and rewards. C. By simulating real-life situations. D. By delaying financial gain. 23. After taking the course, the students should be able to . A improve their academic performance B. accept financial challenges at any time C. understand people from various backgrounds D. build a stable financial foundation for the future B “No,” Mama Lil said it plain and simple. “I ain’t never heard of no girls to be doing that. Bebe, you need to be getting yourself a real summer job, something civilized.” I’d been living with Mama Lil since I was six, when my own mama and daddy were killed in an apartment building fire. Lillian Johns was my mom’s mother. Everybody on our street called her Mama Lil and that was what I called her too. I had been butting heads with her ever since I could remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced. For weeks I’d been asking Mama Lil to let me join the youth renovation (修缮) team. It was a group of kids who had been chosen by city officials to work with engineers to help repair the Brooklyn Bridge. The project would last the summer and pay good money. It would help me get to college, where I wanted to study engineering. But for Mama Lil, the thing that made her the most stubborn this time, was exactly my dream of becoming an engineer. In some respects, Mama Lil was right. It was true that there weren’t many black women engineers. But I wanted to build bridges more than anything. “Let me go, Mama Lil,” I begged softly. Mama Lil sat as still as a statue. “Mama Lil,” I said carefully, “if you don’t sign the bridge project permission form, I will sign it myself. Nobody will know the difference.” The next morning, Mama Lil’s eyes looked red-tired. “I’m going to the bridge,” I said firmly. “I know, Bebe,” she said. From her housedress pocket, she took out a pen and signed the form. “Bebe, that bridge is lucky to have you,” she said. I hugged Mama Lil good and hard, smiling big, right at her. … Ahead, in the distance, stood the Brooklyn Bridge. This was the best spot to see the bridge. I’d come to this corner and studied the bridge a million times. And on every one of those times, I was taken with what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle. At night, Belle was dressed in tiny light. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other in the whole city. Jeweled in light. Beautiful. I had drawn Belle in the high-noon light, at sunset, on snowy days, and on foggy twilight mornings... I was proud of my drawings, but with each page they showed a sad truth about Belle: She needed repair. That bridge renovation project needed me; and I needed it, in more ways than I could count. 24.

A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. That’s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved. But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon. For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare. Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager — Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself. “The independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944. And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicist s. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts. “Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.” Especially considering what Einstein was proposing. “The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!” Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. “It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you’ll find the solution.” Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his “miracle year” of1905. These “thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations. What might happen to such a submission today? “We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.” 28. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs? A. Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits. B. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges. C. It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory. D. No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years. 29. What was critical to Einstein’s success? A. His solid foundation in math theory. B. His independent and abstract thinking. C. His talent as an accomplished musician. D. His untiring effort to fulfill his potential. 30. What does the author tell us about physicist s today? A. They tend to neglect training in analytical skills. B. They are very good at solving practical problems. C. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits. D. They attach great importance to publishing academic papers. D （新热点）In the 20th century, the definition of progress seemed clear. It was growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). And that growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. No matter how rich a nation already was, its politicians and economists would consistently claim that the solutions to its problems — from poverty to pollution — depended on yet more growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. First, it’s useful to recognize that growth, after all, is a wonderful, healthy phase of life, which is why people the world over love to see children, gardens and trees grow. No wonder the western mind so readily accepted it as the shape of economic progress, too, and simultaneously adopted the very 20th-century mantra that “more is better”, both personally and nationally. Yet if we look to nature, it’s clear that nothing succeeds by growing forever: anything that seeks to do so will, in the process, destroy itself or the system on which it depends. Things that succeed grow until they are grown up, at which point they mature, enabling them to thrive, sometimes for hundreds of years. As the biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. Although we can easily appreciate the limits of growth in the living world, when it comes to our economies, we have a harder time. Thanks to the availability of cheap fossil fuel-based energy in the 20th century, rapid economic growth came to be seen as normal and natural, indeed as essential. Its continuation over many decades led to the creation of institutional designs and policies that are dependent on growth without end. In other words, we have inherited economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. Instead of excessively pursuing growth, it is time to pursue well-being for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance, one that aims to meet the essential needs of every person while protecting the life-supporting systems of our planetary home. Tackling inequality needs to be at the heart of a new eco-social contract. Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. It can also help to block the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few, therefore avoiding a system that advantages the already wealthy. When we turn away from growth as the goal, we can focus directly on asking what it would take to deliver social and ecological well-being, through an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. There are many possibilities — such as driving a low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation, with a green jobs guarantee, alongside personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. Policies like these were, only a decade ago, considered too radical to be realistic. Today they look nothing less than essential. 31. The author cites Janine Benyus to illustrate that . A. growth should be limited to protect the resources B. unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable C. the view that “more is better” also applies to nature D. nature provides a perfect model for economic growth 32. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hard to tell. B. Tricky to tackle. C. Difficult to understand. D. Tough to achieve. 33. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. people tend to use resources more reasonably with improved equality B. wealth and power should be distributed to the advantage of rich people C. the requirement for growth is easily adaptable to changing economic conditions D. a balance between social and ecological well-being can be reached within endless growth 34. Which of the following best describes the organization of this article? A. Identifying a pressing problem, offering various solutions, and evaluating their effectiveness. B. Explaining a natural process, relating it to human activities, and suggesting a change in view. C. Presenting a traditional view, discussing its appeal and limitations, and proposing a new approach. D. Introducing a well-known theory, comparing it with another theory, and suggesting improvements. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （新语境）Walking is becoming a hot research topic among health scientists. It’s arguably the most accessible form of exercise available to us and mounting research shows it’s good for health. Walking three times a week nearly halves the recurrence of back pain according to research published in 2024, while another study from that year found that hitting 10,000 steps a day lowers your risk of heart disease. ____35____ In terms of burning calories and weight loss more generally, the research unsurprisingly shows that walking is less effective than more intense forms of exercise, like running or weightlifting. The amount of calories you can burn depends on a number of factors, but the average person gets through a modest 250 calories walking for an hour at a moderate, unstrained pace. If walking is the only thing you’re doing, it’s unlikely to move the needle very far on the weighing scales. ____36____ A 2017 study in the Journal of Nutrition found obese and overweight people who walked 2.5 hours a week, along with following a diet, lost more weight and fat mass than people who just followed the diet. There are ways to step up your walking, of course. ____37____ The journal Obesity reports that out of people on a long-term weight-loss programme, the ones who lost more than 10 percent of their starting weight were clocking 10,000 steps a day at the 6-, 12-and 18-month intervals. You have to keep it up, in other words. Next, pick up the pace. ____38____ Exercise scientists class slow walking as light exercise, but increase your efforts and it becomes moderate exercise, which is better for your heart, lungs and-muscles. Experts usually suggest that a pace of 5 km/h is moderate. Anything else you can do to make the walk harder will also increase the number of calories you burn. Swinging or pumping your arms is a good example. ____39____ Walking up hills or on an incline (斜坡) can also dramatically increase the number of calories you burn because it ramps up your heart rate and the muscle activation in your legs. One study suggests that an incline of five percent increases the metabolic cost of walking by 17 percent, while a 10-percent incline increases it by 32 percent. A. So is walking on uneven land or into a headwind. B. You can also walk off excess body weight — to an extent. C. Adding short jogging bursts during walks may boost calorie burning. D. The most obvious is distance — walk further and you’ll burn more calories. E. Apparently, there’s a big difference between a gentle stroll and a purposeful walk. F. Wearing a smartwatch to track incline intensity could optimize walking efficiency. G. Research shows that it can improve the effects of a calorie-restricted diet, however. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 （新题材）We all love to criticize, but unfortunately, we also hate being criticized. We freely post and comment on others, but feel annoyed at the way others assess us, both online and in person. The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon. Fortunately, though, each of us can change how we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely to harm others, more resistant to being angry, and better able to benefit from feedback — even when it is negative. Criticism is defined as judgment of the merits (优点) and faults of something or someone in written or spoken form. Technically, criticism can include praise, but that isn’t what concerns us here. What annoys us is criticism of the negative variety, even when well-intentioned — so-called constructive criticism, which means to provide guidance so we can improve. Worst of all is destructive criticism, which aims to cause hurt or damage. The culture of criticism isn’t going away. The only way to flourish (繁荣) in it, and despite it, is to adopt new habits of getting and giving critical feedback. One rule is to assume that criticism, even when it seems personal, is not actually about you personally. When we receive criticism, we make it personal in two ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Second, we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our natural abilities, rather than on our performance. Interestingly, even among young children, research shows that viewing criticism as a judgment on one’s abilities can lead to lower self-worth, lower positive mood, and less persistence at tasks. If taking criticism is particularly hard for you, you are not alone. However, taking criticism badly is more embarrassing, ultimately, than the criticism itself. If we do the work to learn to accept negative feedback, we will be much better off. 40. What will be the results of changing the way we give and take criticism? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What is the difference between constructive and destructive criticism? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth because they take criticism as a judgment on their performance. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What benefit(s) would you gain from learning to accept negative feedback?

In 2015,a free online financial education course named FutureSmart was introduced to middle school students, specifically targeting this group at a time in their lives when financial habits take hold and grow. Fast forward to today,FutureSmart,available in English and Spanish,has reached over 13,000 schools across all 50 states.More than two million students have completed the course,with almost half coming from low-to-moderate income families. But we aren't stopping there.We promise to reach four million more students by the end of 2025 Why?Because this moment calls for brave action.Never before have money management and investment decisions been so easy to conduct at any time or place through the use of a smartphone.It is time to offer students more critical financial literacy education to encourage them to make good financial decisions on a daily basis as they make their way through a complex world. From weighing opportunity costs to delaying instant satisfaction for long-term financial gain,FutureSmart educates our youth using hands-on simulations (to introduce concepts like daily financial decisions and the rewards of long-term planning.Teaching young leamers how to build solid financial foundations is an important step in building financially healthy communities. Although our work is far from complete,we know that FutureSmart works.And it works exceptionally well. In the largest study of its kind,supported by the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI,the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI)recently concluded that 90%of students saw a statistically significant and educationally meaningful increase in knowledge after taking the FutureSmart course What's more,these results were consistent across all student demographics including race,age,gender,school year,and socioeconomic status. We have a long way to go to reach every single middle school student,but we welcome the challenge.Together, our teams have started a movement to provide equal access to financial education,and we invite others to join us. Visit getfuturesmart.com to learn more and see how you can bring FutureSmart to the young people in your life.

If walking is the only thing you're doing,it's unlikely to move the needle very far on the weighing scales. : 36 A 2017 study in the Journal of Nutrition found obese and overweight people who walked 2.5 hours a week,along with following a diet,lost more weight and fat mass than people who just followed the diet. There are ways to step up your walking,of course.37The journal Obesity reports that out of people on a long-term weight-loss programme,the ones who lost more than 10 percent of their starting weight were clocking : 10,000 steps a day at the 6-,12-and 18-month intervals.You have to keep it up,in other words. Next,pick up the pace.38Exercise scientists class slow walking as light exercise,but increase your efforts and it becomes moderate exercise,which is better for your heart,lungs and-muscles.Experts usually suggest that a pace of 5 km/h is moderate. Anything else you can do to make the walk harder will also increase the number of calories you burn.Swinging or pumping your arms is a good example.39 Walking up hills or on an incline()can also dramatically increase the number of calories you burn because it ramps up your heart rate and the muscle activation in your legs. One study suggests that an incline of five percent increases the metabolic cost of walking by 17 percent,while a 10- percent incline increases it by 32 percent. A.So is walking on uneven land or into a headwind. 然 B.You can also walk off excess body weight-to an extent. : C.Adding short jogging bursts during walks may boost calorie burning. D.The most obvious is distance-walk further and you'll burn more calories. E.Apparently,there's a big difference between a gentle stroll and a purposeful walk. O F.Wearing a smartwatch to track incline intensity could optimize walking efficiency. G.Research shows that it can improve the effects of a calorie-restricted diet,however. : : 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分) 第一节（共4小题：第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 (We all love to criticize,but unfortunately,we also hate being criticized.We freely post and comment on others,but feel annoyed at the way others assess us,both online and in person.The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon.Fortunately,though,each of us can change how we give and take criticism,which will make us less 试题第9页（共12页） : 命学科网·学易金卷筒既限是 likely to harm others,more resistant to being angry,and better able to benefit from feedback-even when it is negative. Criticism is defined as judgment of the merits (and faults of something or someone in written or spoken form.Technically,criticism can include praise,but that isn't what concerns us here.What annoys us is criticism of the negative variety,even when well-intentioned-so-called constructive criticism,which means to provide guidance so we can improve.Worst of all is destructive criticism,which aims to cause hurt or damage The culture of criticism isn't going away.The only way to flourish in it,and despite it,is to adopt new habits of getting and giving critical feedback.One rule is to assume that criticism,even when it seems personal,is not actually about you personally.When we receive criticism,we make it personal in two ways.First,we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism.Second,we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our natural abilities, rather than on our performance.Interestingly,even among young children,research shows that viewing criticism as a judgment on one's abilities can lead to lower self-worth,lower positive mood,and less persistence at tasks. If taking criticism is particularly hard for you,you are not alone.However,taking criticism badly is more embarrassing,ultimately,than the criticism itself.If we do the work to leam to accept negative feedback,we will be much better off. 40.What will be the results of changing the way we give and take criticism? 41.What is the difference between constructive and destructive criticism? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.

In 2015, a free online financial education course named FutureSmart was introduced to middle school students, specifically targeting this group at a time in their lives when financial habits take hold and grow. Fast forward to today, FutureSmart, available in English and Spanish, has reached over 13,000 schools across all 50 states. More than two million students have completed the course, with almost half coming from low-to-moderate income families. But we aren’t stopping there. We promise to reach four million more students by the end of 2025. Why? Because this moment calls for brave action. Never before have money management and investment decisions been so easy to conduct at any time or place through the use of a smartphone. It is time to offer students more critical financial literacy education to encourage them to make good financial decisions on a daily basis as they make their way through a complex world. From weighing opportunity costs to delaying instant satisfaction for long-term financial gain, FutureSmart educates our youth using hands-on simulations (模拟) to introduce concepts like daily financial decisions and the rewards of long-term planning. Teaching young learners how to build solid financial foundations is an important step in building financially healthy communities. Although our work is far from complete, we know that FutureSmart works. And it works exceptionally well. In the largest study of its kind, supported by the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI, the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) recently concluded that 90% of students saw a statistically significant and educationally meaningful increase in knowledge after taking the FutureSmart course. What’s more, these results were consistent across all student demographics including race, age, gender, school year, and socioeconomic status. We have a long way to go to reach every single middle school student, but we welcome the challenge. Together, our teams have started a movement to provide equal access to financial education, and we invite others to join us. Visit getfuturesmart. com to learn more and see how you can bring FutureSmart to the young people in your life. MICHAEL FANNING RAY MARTINEZ Head of MassMutual US President and Co-Founder of EVERFI 21. The course FutureSmart . A. is offered in two different languages B. requires skillful smartphone operation C. has been bought by a large number of schools D. targets students from low-to-moderate income families 22. How does FutureSmart introduce financial concepts? A. By establishing financially healthy communities. B. By managing opportunities and rewards. C. By simulating real-life situations. D. By delaying financial gain. 23. After taking the course, the students should be able to . A improve their academic performance B. accept financial challenges at any time C. understand people from various backgrounds D. build a stable financial foundation for the future B “No,” Mama Lil said it plain and simple. “I ain’t never heard of no girls to be doing that. Bebe, you need to be getting yourself a real summer job, something civilized.” I’d been living with Mama Lil since I was six, when my own mama and daddy were killed in an apartment building fire. Lillian Johns was my mom’s mother. Everybody on our street called her Mama Lil and that was what I called her too. I had been butting heads with her ever since I could remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced. For weeks I’d been asking Mama Lil to let me join the youth renovation (修缮) team. It was a group of kids who had been chosen by city officials to work with engineers to help repair the Brooklyn Bridge. The project would last the summer and pay good money. It would help me get to college, where I wanted to study engineering. But for Mama Lil, the thing that made her the most stubborn this time, was exactly my dream of becoming an engineer. In some respects, Mama Lil was right. It was true that there weren’t many black women engineers. But I wanted to build bridges more than anything. “Let me go, Mama Lil,” I begged softly. Mama Lil sat as still as a statue. “Mama Lil,” I said carefully, “if you don’t sign the bridge project permission form, I will sign it myself. Nobody will know the difference.” The next morning, Mama Lil’s eyes looked red-tired. “I’m going to the bridge,” I said firmly. “I know, Bebe,” she said. From her housedress pocket, she took out a pen and signed the form. “Bebe, that bridge is lucky to have you,” she said. I hugged Mama Lil good and hard, smiling big, right at her. … Ahead, in the distance, stood the Brooklyn Bridge. This was the best spot to see the bridge. I’d come to this corner and studied the bridge a million times. And on every one of those times, I was taken with what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle. At night, Belle was dressed in tiny light. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other in the whole city. Jeweled in light. Beautiful. I had drawn Belle in the high-noon light, at sunset, on snowy days, and on foggy twilight mornings... I was proud of my drawings, but with each page they showed a sad truth about Belle: She needed repair. That bridge renovation project needed me; and I needed it, in more ways than I could count. 24. Mama Lil refused to sign the permission form mainly because ______. A. she had become stubborn in her old age B. she wouldn’t allow Bebe to have a summer job C. she thought the bridge project was too dangerous D. she didn’t support Bebe’s desire to be an engineer 25. What can we learn from the story? A. Bebe lost her parents in the bridge project. B. Bebe liked to draw the bridge on winter mornings. C. Bebe and Mama Lil often got into arguments with each other. D. Bebe called her grandma Mama Lil because she was her mom’s mother. 26. By mentioning the name “Brooklyn Belle”, the author intends to help readers ______. A. recall the history of the bridge B. appreciate the bridge’s beauty C. ignore the damage to the bridge D. imagine the bridge’s future look 27. Which of the following could be the theme of this story? A. Dreams know no color or gender. B. Elders always make the best decisions. C. Conflict usually resolves itself in the end. D. Pride wins out but makes things more difficult. C （新话题）Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. That’s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved. But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon. For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare. Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager — Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself. “The independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944. And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicist s. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts. “Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.” Especially considering what Einstein was proposing. “The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!” Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. “It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you’ll find the solution.” Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his “miracle year” of1905. These “thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations. What might happen to such a submission today? “We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.” 28. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs? A. Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits. B. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges. C. It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory. D. No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years. 29. What was critical to Einstein’s success? A. His solid foundation in math theory. B. His independent and abstract thinking. C. His talent as an accomplished musician. D. His untiring effort to fulfill his potential. 30. What does the author tell us about physicist s today? A. They tend to neglect training in analytical skills. B. They are very good at solving practical problems. C. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits. D. They attach great importance to publishing academic papers. D （新热点）In the 20th century, the definition of progress seemed clear. It was growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). And that growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. No matter how rich a nation already was, its politicians and economists would consistently claim that the solutions to its problems — from poverty to pollution — depended on yet more growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. First, it’s useful to recognize that growth, after all, is a wonderful, healthy phase of life, which is why people the world over love to see children, gardens and trees grow. No wonder the western mind so readily accepted it as the shape of economic progress, too, and simultaneously adopted the very 20th-century mantra that “more is better”, both personally and nationally. Yet if we look to nature, it’s clear that nothing succeeds by growing forever: anything that seeks to do so will, in the process, destroy itself or the system on which it depends. Things that succeed grow until they are grown up, at which point they mature, enabling them to thrive, sometimes for hundreds of years. As the biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. Although we can easily appreciate the limits of growth in the living world, when it comes to our economies, we have a harder time. Thanks to the availability of cheap fossil fuel-based energy in the 20th century, rapid economic growth came to be seen as normal and natural, indeed as essential. Its continuation over many decades led to the creation of institutional designs and policies that are dependent on growth without end. In other words, we have inherited economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. Instead of excessively pursuing growth, it is time to pursue well-being for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance, one that aims to meet the essential needs of every person while protecting the life-supporting systems of our planetary home. Tackling inequality needs to be at the heart of a new eco-social contract. Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. It can also help to block the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few, therefore avoiding a system that advantages the already wealthy. When we turn away from growth as the goal, we can focus directly on asking what it would take to deliver social and ecological well-being, through an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. There are many possibilities — such as driving a low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation, with a green jobs guarantee, alongside personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. Policies like these were, only a decade ago, considered too radical to be realistic. Today they look nothing less than essential. 31. The author cites Janine Benyus to illustrate that . A. growth should be limited to protect the resources B. unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable C. the view that “more is better” also applies to nature D. nature provides a perfect model for economic growth 32. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hard to tell. B. Tricky to tackle. C. Difficult to understand. D. Tough to achieve. 33. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. people tend to use resources more reasonably with improved equality B. wealth and power should be distributed to the advantage of rich people C. the requirement for growth is easily adaptable to changing economic conditions D. a balance between social and ecological well-being can be reached within endless growth 34. Which of the following best describes the organization of this article? A. Identifying a pressing problem, offering various solutions, and evaluating their effectiveness. B.

It’s arguably the most accessible form of exercise available to us and mounting research shows it’s good for health. Walking three times a week nearly halves the recurrence of back pain according to research published in 2024, while another study from that year found that hitting 10,000 steps a day lowers your risk of heart disease. ____35____ In terms of burning calories and weight loss more generally, the research unsurprisingly shows that walking is less effective than more intense forms of exercise, like running or weightlifting. The amount of calories you can burn depends on a number of factors, but the average person gets through a modest 250 calories walking for an hour at a moderate, unstrained pace. If walking is the only thing you’re doing, it’s unlikely to move the needle very far on the weighing scales. ____36____ A 2017 study in the Journal of Nutrition found obese and overweight people who walked 2.5 hours a week, along with following a diet, lost more weight and fat mass than people who just followed the diet. There are ways to step up your walking, of course. ____37____ The journal Obesity reports that out of people on a long-term weight-loss programme, the ones who lost more than 10 percent of their starting weight were clocking 10,000 steps a day at the 6-, 12-and 18-month intervals. You have to keep it up, in other words. Next, pick up the pace. ____38____ Exercise scientists class slow walking as light exercise, but increase your efforts and it becomes moderate exercise, which is better for your heart, lungs and-muscles. Experts usually suggest that a pace of 5 km/h is moderate. Anything else you can do to make the walk harder will also increase the number of calories you burn. Swinging or pumping your arms is a good example. ____39____ Walking up hills or on an incline (斜坡) can also dramatically increase the number of calories you burn because it ramps up your heart rate and the muscle activation in your legs. One study suggests that an incline of five percent increases the metabolic cost of walking by 17 percent, while a 10-percent incline increases it by 32 percent. A. So is walking on uneven land or into a headwind. B. You can also walk off excess body weight — to an extent. C. Adding short jogging bursts during walks may boost calorie burning. D. The most obvious is distance — walk further and you’ll burn more calories. E. Apparently, there’s a big difference between a gentle stroll and a purposeful walk. F. Wearing a smartwatch to track incline intensity could optimize walking efficiency. G. Research shows that it can improve the effects of a calorie-restricted diet, however. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 （新题材）We all love to criticize, but unfortunately, we also hate being criticized. We freely post and comment on others, but feel annoyed at the way others assess us, both online and in person. The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon. Fortunately, though, each of us can change how we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely to harm others, more resistant to being angry, and better able to benefit from feedback — even when it is negative. Criticism is defined as judgment of the merits (优点) and faults of something or someone in written or spoken form. Technically, criticism can include praise, but that isn’t what concerns us here. What annoys us is criticism of the negative variety, even when well-intentioned — so-called constructive criticism, which means to provide guidance so we can improve. Worst of all is destructive criticism, which aims to cause hurt or damage. The culture of criticism isn’t going away. The only way to flourish (繁荣) in it, and despite it, is to adopt new habits of getting and giving critical feedback. One rule is to assume that criticism, even when it seems personal, is not actually about you personally. When we receive criticism, we make it personal in two ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Second, we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our natural abilities, rather than on our performance. Interestingly, even among young children, research shows that viewing criticism as a judgment on one’s abilities can lead to lower self-worth, lower positive mood, and less persistence at tasks. If taking criticism is particularly hard for you, you are not alone. However, taking criticism badly is more embarrassing, ultimately, than the criticism itself. If we do the work to learn to accept negative feedback, we will be much better off. 40. What will be the results of changing the way we give and take criticism? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What is the difference between constructive and destructive criticism? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth because they take criticism as a judgment on their performance. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What benefit(s) would you gain from learning to accept negative feedback?
