The museum has also employed the Museum Ambassadors to assist with special projects and events as needed. To learn more about what Museum Ambassadors do, check out what Larry has said, “As museum ambassadors, we get to share in the curiosity of a child, the nostalgia (怀旧) of returning visitors, the treasure hunt of students assigned to find important historical objects, and the amazement of those experiencing our eye on the nation's history for the first time. We can help recommend a meaningful museum visit just for you. There's more. We're also traffic cops when elevators and escalators break and extra eyes for museum security."

Then an airplane came into his sight. Gelinne looked up just in time to see that small air plane a few hundred yards away, losing control. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy officer, realized it was going to land in the lake. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (侧滑) to a stop on the broad, frozen lake, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck. Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water, paddling (划) toward the pilot. Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A lifeboat appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation? A. He had rescucing experience. B. He wanted to offer help in time. C. He needed more time to prepare. D. He was amazed at what had happened. 25. How did Gelinne help the pilot? A. He made a call to the police. B. He got the pilot out of the water. C. He asked the pilot to grasp the bow. D. He picked up the pilot onto the shore. 26. What Gelinne did in the rescue proved him to be ____________. A. brave B. generous C. curious D. strict 27. What can Gelinne probably learn from the rescue? A. Think twice before action. B. One good turn deserves another. C. It’s never too late to make things right. D. One should always be ready to seize chances. C （新热点）Games have captivated humans for millennia, with a history dating back to ancient Hindu hymns that compared dice games to an addictive drug. The world’s first casino in Renaissance Venice even led to the bankruptcy of the ruling class. Today, the gaming market is as large as all other forms of entertainment combined. While play is often seen as trivial, it is evolutionarily ancient — many mammals, birds, and even insects engage in it. For neuroscientists, studying play is challenging because it’s difficult to suppress, revealing its deep roots in human and animal behavior. But why is play so deeply ingrained (根深蒂固的)? The brain builds models of the world to anticipate events, and games are centered on uncertainty. Unpredictability signals something is missing in the brain’s model, prompting curiosity and further learning. Children, for example, stop playing tic-tac-toe once they realize it always ends in a draw. Through play, we learn to handle the unknown. Animals, particularly social ones, play to explore their environment and understand each other. Research on young rats shows that play is essential for brain development. Play-deprived rats are more aggressive and struggle with social cues. Similarly, kittens learn to control their claws and bite gently through play. Long before modern neuroscientists, philosophers like Plato believed games were crucial for teaching children to follow rules. Medieval aristocrats learned chess to understand their character, and the ancient game of Go was praised for sharpening insight. Ultimately, competitive games teach us to cooperate, obey rules, and pursue goals fairly. Games also serve as a medium for moral lessons. Games like Snakes and Ladders and the Mansion of Happiness taught players about karma (因果报应) and virtues versus vices. Through play, we consider other people’s desires and strategies, laying the foundation for empathy. In the Renaissance, gamblers who studied dice to gain an advantage helped develop probability theory. This formalization of randomness revolutionized mathematics and science, as chance could now be studied and systematized. Probability theory later became a key component of the scientific revolution, though its application in real-world events has led to issues like the replication crises in science. Today, probability theory is foundational in business and economics, with stock markets and financial derivatives using similar principles. Games also shape modern social and economic systems. Game designers, like Reiner Knizia, emphasize the importance of scoring systems to influence behavior. In games like Monopoly, players must act like capitalists to win, regardless of personal values. Corporations design games that influence our choices, from ads to apps. Understanding how these games shape our behavior is crucial to ensuring we retain control over our values rather than letting the games play us. 28. Play is deeply rooted in human in that it . A. helps tackle uncertainty and learn B. establishes new brain models C. functions as an addictive drug D. enhances brain development 29. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Animals use play to teach appropriate social behaviors. B. Showing empathy results in better performance in play. C. People should recognize how games influence decisions. D. Games bring about revolutions in math and scientific fields. 30. The passage intends to . A. explain the evolution of games throughout history B. analyze the impact of play on the entertainment industry C. introduce the role of games in current economic systems D. stress the importance of play in human and animal development D Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution is a global issue. This became particularly obvious when the World Atlas (地图册)of Night Sky Brightness a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin(褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is prevented when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙)patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Large numbers of insects, a primary food source for birds and other animals, are drawn to artificial light and are instantly killed upon contact with light sources. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals(滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt(海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is altering ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are urged to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡)and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 31. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para. 3 probably mean? A. Greatly improve. B. Well maintain. C. Strictly manage. D. Seriously damage. 32. According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A. Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016. B. Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C. Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals. D. LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 33 What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Negative. 34. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to reduce light pollution. B. To discuss fors and againsts of artificial light. C. To give suggestions to protect environment. D. To show development prospect of artificial light. 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）Hesitation as intuition (直觉) You’ve thought about it. You’ve made your decision and then.….you hesitate. Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. ____35____ Our culture values doing. We’re constantly urged to “go for it.” But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness but rather a valuable signal? ____36____ But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. If you notice yourself hesitating, it might mean a part of you isn’t quite sure. Hesitation can be the body’s way of alerting us to overlooked details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice. Since hesitation can carry such significance, it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our bodies send. Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy, when we cultivate the habit of self-awareness and understand our fears, we can begin to decipher (辨认) the messages behind our hesitation. Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations. ____37____ Therefore, by integrating our emotions and physical sensations into the decision-making process, we access a more comprehensive understanding. To make more informed decisions, we can employ specific strategies. One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. ____38____ Another interesting way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision. And before it’s too late, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could. ____39____ By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity. A. It’s easy to miss intuitive signals when we are moving from thinking minds. B. They work within fixed frameworks that might not match the complex reality. C. While our minds are undoubtedly powerful, our bodies also hold a wealth of wisdom. D. In nature, the key to effective decision-making lies in seeing hesitation as a help. E. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything differs. F. Hesitation means your intuition is trying to speak to you from deep inner place. G. This hesitation is common yet often overlooked in our decision-making process. 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）Building relationships and working successfully with different cultural backgrounds can seem like a major challenge. But you can enjoy the rewards, while keeping dissatisfaction to a minimum. The key to making them work is cultural competence. Essentially, cultural competence is defined as the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures. Cultural competence is critical for everyone in today’s modern world. Living and working in a culturally diverse environment sometimes comes with differences of opinion and tension. People with strong cultural competence can resolve these issues creatively, even if a solution seems impossible at first. What’s more, thinking and caring about others with different experiences can bring out a sense of understanding. This helps to build trust between each other. Cultural competence can be improved through training, education, and experience. Here are some simple tips to help you improve your cultural competence. Assess yourself The starting point is to understand your own cultural values and world view. Assess the current level of cultural competence in yourself and identify the knowledge, skills and resources that you want to acquire. This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future. Practice good manners No matter whom you are dealing with, make sure that you are respecting others’ backgrounds, boundaries and customs. Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you’re speaking to others in a kind and polite way. Ask questions When you don’t understand something or want to know why someone has behaved in a certain way, simply ask. Asking questions stops you making unnecessary assumptions, and shows the questions you did not understand to them. Keep in mind that developing cultural competence is not a one-shot enterprise. It takes time and practice. Whether you are in a classroom or on campus, cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment. Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone. 40. What is cultural competence according to the passage? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why is cultural competence important for people in intercultural environment? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42.

As the plane disappeared behind the trees,Gelinne,a former Navy officer,realized it was going to land in the lake.He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier:Gelinne was at work in a bank.When a fire alarm rang, 数 he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. 游 On this day,Gelinne didn't hesitate.He ran down to the waterfront.The plane had skidded (to a stop on the broad,frozen lake,far from shore.It was now sinking.The pilot was standing on the wing.Gelinne knew from his O Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it.So he pulled a boat out 洲 from under his back deck. Then he set off,pushing his boat across the ice.It was tough work.When Gelinne reached the plane,it had broken E时 through the ice and sunk;only its tail was visible.The pilot was standing on a tail wing,submerged up to his chest, : surrounded by open water.Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water,paddling()toward the pilot. 世 Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm,joking,"Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife." .: O The pilot grabbed the boat's bow,but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help.A lifeboat appeared,breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety.Later the boat returned to help Gelinne,now extremely tired,to shore. 焙 "I'm 60 years old,"Gelinne says."There was no way I could get him to shore."Still,he was satisfied he'd gone the right way that day. 24.Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation?

A.Think twice before action. B.One good turn deserves another. C.It's never too late to make things right. D.One should always be ready to seize chances O : (Games have captivated humans for millennia,with a history dating back to ancient Hindu hymns that compared dice games to an addictive drug.The world's first casino in Renaissance Venice even led to the bankruptcy of the ruling class.Today,the gaming market is as large as all other forms of entertainment combined.While play is 尽 often seen as trivial,it is evolutionarily ancient-many mammals,birds,and even insects engage in it.For .: neuroscientists,studying play is challenging because it's difficult to suppress,revealing its deep roots in human and : animal behavior. But why is play so deeply ingrained(根深蒂固的)？The brain builds models of the world to anticipate events, O O and games are centered on uncertainty.Unpredictability signals something is missing in the brain's model,prompting curiosity and further learning.Children,for example,stop playing tic-tac-toe once they realize it always ends in a draw. Through play,we leam to handle the unknown. Animals,particularly social ones,play to explore their environment and understand each other.Research on : young rats shows that play is essential for brain development.Play-deprived rats are more aggressive and struggle : with social cues.Similarly,kittens learn to control their claws and bite gently through play.Long before modern : neuroscientists,philosophers like Plato believed games were crucial for teaching children to follow rules.Medieval aristocrats learned chess to understand their character,and the ancient game of Go was praised for sharpening insight. : Ultimately,competitive games teach us to cooperate,obey rules,and pursue goals fairly. : Games also serve as a medium for moral lessons.Games like Snakes and Ladders and the Mansion of Happiness taught players about karma (and virtues versus vices.Through play,we consider other people's desires and : strategies,laying the foundation for empathy. In the Renaissance,gamblers who studied dice to gain an advantage helped develop probability theory.This formalization of randomness revolutionized mathematics and science,as chance could now be studied and : systematized.Probability theory later became a key component of the scientific revolution,though its application in 试题第5页（共10页） : 可学科网·学易金卷蕊限是 real-world events has led to issues like the replication crises in science Today,probability theory is foundational in business and economics,with stock markets and financial derivatives using similar principles.Games also shape modern social and economic systems.Game designers,like Reiner Knizia, emphasize the importance of scoring systems to influence behavior.In games like Monopoly,players must act like capitalists to win,regardless of personal values.Corporations design games that influence our choices,from ads to apps.Understanding how these games shape our behavior is crucial to ensuring we retain control over our values rather than letting the games play us. 28.Play is deeply rooted in human in that it A.helps tackle uncertainty and learn B.establishes new brain models C.functions as an addictive drug D.enhances brain development 29.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Animals use play to teach appropriate social behaviors. B.Showing empathy results in better performance in play. C.People should recognize how games influence decisions D.Games bring about revolutions in math and scientific fields. 30.The passage intends to_ A.explain the evolution of games throughout history B.analyze the impact of play on the entertainment industry C.introduce the role of games in current economic systems D.stress the importance of play in human and animal development D Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions.The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time.However,too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment.Light pollution,the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light,is affecting human health and wildlife behavior.There is a global movement to reduce light pollution,and every one can help. Light pollution is a global issue.This became particularly obvious when the World Atlas()of Night Sky Brightness a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos,was published in 2016.Vast areas of North America,Europe,the Middle East,and Asia are glowing with light,while only Siberia,the Sahara,and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals.It interrupts sleep and 试题第6页（共10页） 学科网·学易金卷瓶吸7品 confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal,,twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms.One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin(),which is released when it is dark and is prevented when there is light.An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production,which results in lack of sleep,headaches,stress,anxiety,and other health problems.Blue light,in particular,has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans.It is found in cell phones and other computer devices,as well as in light-emitting diodes (LEDs),thekinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors,such as migration ()patterns and habitat formation.Because of light pollution,sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused,lose their way, and often die.Large numbers of insects,a primary food source for birds and other animals,are drawn to artificial light and are instantly killed upon contact with light sources.Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting.One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales.Fewer filter feeding animals(滤食性动物)，such as the sea squirt(海鞘)，made their homes near the lighted panels.This could mean that the artificial light is altering ocean ecosystems The good news is that light pollution,unlike many other forms of pollution,is reversible()and each one of us can make a difference!Now,many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky.Individuals are urged to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed,to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded ()and direct light down instead of up into the sky,and to close window blinds,shades,and curtains at night to keep light inside. 31.What does the underlined phrase"wreak havoc on"in Para.3 probably mean? A.Greatly improve.B.Well maintain C.Strictly manage.D.Seriously damage. 32.According to the passage,which would the author agree with? A.Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016 B.Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C.Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals. D.LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 33 What is the author's attitude towards the control of light pollution? A.Unconcerned. B.Positive. C.Neutral. D.Negative. 34.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To call on people to reduce light pollution. B.To discuss fors and againsts of artificial light. C.To give suggestions to protect environment. D.To show development prospect of artificial light. 试题第7页（共10页） 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） .: O 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。 Iesitation as intuition(直觉) (You've thought about it.You've made your decision and then.....you hesitate.Your mouse hovers ☑ over the"purchase now"button,you've written the text but can't quite bring yourself to press"send.You hesitate. 35 Our culture values doing.We're constantly urged to"go for it."But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness but rather a valuable signal?36 But we don't always make it a practice to listen to our bodies.When we do % pay attention,we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition.If you notice yourself hesitating,it might mean a part of you isn't quite sure.Hesitation can be the body's way of alerting us to overlooked 江 details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice. 游 Since hesitation can cany such significance,it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our bodies ··. 游 send.Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy,when we cultivate the habit of self- awareness and understand our fears,we can begin to decipher (the messages behind our hesitation.Moreover, S our rational minds have their limitations.37 Therefore,by integrating our emotions and physical sensations O into the decision-making process,we access a more comprehensive understanding. : To make more informed decisions,we can employ specific strategies.One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there's hesitation and,if you have the time,wait.38Another interesting S way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it.Take action as ifyou had already made the decision.

Then an airplane came into his sight. Gelinne looked up just in time to see that small air plane a few hundred yards away, losing control. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy officer, realized it was going to land in the lake. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (侧滑) to a stop on the broad, frozen lake, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck. Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water, paddling (划) toward the pilot. Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A lifeboat appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation? A. He had rescucing experience. B. He wanted to offer help in time. C. He needed more time to prepare. D. He was amazed at what had happened. 25. How did Gelinne help the pilot? A. He made a call to the police. B. He got the pilot out of the water. C. He asked the pilot to grasp the bow. D. He picked up the pilot onto the shore. 26. What Gelinne did in the rescue proved him to be ____________. A. brave B. generous C. curious D. strict 27. What can Gelinne probably learn from the rescue? A. Think twice before action. B. One good turn deserves another. C. It’s never too late to make things right. D. One should always be ready to seize chances. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了60岁的男子Gelinne在看到一架小飞机失控即将坠入湖中时，毫不犹豫地前去救援的故事。 24. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate.(这一天，杰琳没有犹豫。)”和第四段中“Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck.(Gelinne用脚试了试冰面，决定不冒险在上面走。于是他从后甲板下拉出一条船。)”可推知，Gelinne毫不犹豫地跑出去是为了及时提供救援。故选B项。 25. 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat.(Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“只要抓住船，就像你在拥抱你妻子一样。”飞行员抓住船头，但Gelinne知道，他必须在飞行员失去太多体温之前，把他从水里救出来，爬到他身后未碎的冰架上。)”可知，Gelinne让飞行员抓住船头。故选C项。 26. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront.(这一天，Gelinne没有犹豫。他跑到水边。)”、第五段中“Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work.(然后他出发了，推着他的船穿过冰面。这是一项艰苦的工作。)”和倒数第二段中“Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore.(过了一会儿，小船又回来了，帮助此时极度疲惫的Gelinne上岸。)”可知，60岁的Gelinne不顾安危，毫不犹豫地去拯救掉到湖里的飞行员，说明他非常勇敢。故选A项。 27. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.(他突然想起了20多年前的一幕：杰琳在一家银行工作。当火灾警报响起时，他从混乱中逃了出来，但他一直在想自己是否能留在屋里帮忙。)”可知，Gelinne一直为20多年前的行为感到懊悔，结合最后一段中“Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.(尽管如此，他还是很满意自己那天做出了正确的选择。)”可推知，Gelinne这次做出了正确的选择，弥补了过去的遗憾。由此推知，从这次救援中，Gelinne明白了：亡羊补牢，为时未晚。故选C项。 C （新热点）Games have captivated humans for millennia, with a history dating back to ancient Hindu hymns that compared dice games to an addictive drug. The world’s first casino in Renaissance Venice even led to the bankruptcy of the ruling class. Today, the gaming market is as large as all other forms of entertainment combined. While play is often seen as trivial, it is evolutionarily ancient — many mammals, birds, and even insects engage in it. For neuroscientists, studying play is challenging because it’s difficult to suppress, revealing its deep roots in human and animal behavior. But why is play so deeply ingrained (根深蒂固的)? The brain builds models of the world to anticipate events, and games are centered on uncertainty. Unpredictability signals something is missing in the brain’s model, prompting curiosity and further learning. Children, for example, stop playing tic-tac-toe once they realize it always ends in a draw. Through play, we learn to handle the unknown. Animals, particularly social ones, play to explore their environment and understand each other. Research on young rats shows that play is essential for brain development. Play-deprived rats are more aggressive and struggle with social cues. Similarly, kittens learn to control their claws and bite gently through play. Long before modern neuroscientists, philosophers like Plato believed games were crucial for teaching children to follow rules. Medieval aristocrats learned chess to understand their character, and the ancient game of Go was praised for sharpening insight. Ultimately, competitive games teach us to cooperate, obey rules, and pursue goals fairly. Games also serve as a medium for moral lessons. Games like Snakes and Ladders and the Mansion of Happiness taught players about karma (因果报应) and virtues versus vices. Through play, we consider other people’s desires and strategies, laying the foundation for empathy. In the Renaissance, gamblers who studied dice to gain an advantage helped develop probability theory. This formalization of randomness revolutionized mathematics and science, as chance could now be studied and systematized. Probability theory later became a key component of the scientific revolution, though its application in real-world events has led to issues like the replication crises in science. Today, probability theory is foundational in business and economics, with stock markets and financial derivatives using similar principles. Games also shape modern social and economic systems. Game designers, like Reiner Knizia, emphasize the importance of scoring systems to influence behavior. In games like Monopoly, players must act like capitalists to win, regardless of personal values. Corporations design games that influence our choices, from ads to apps. Understanding how these games shape our behavior is crucial to ensuring we retain control over our values rather than letting the games play us. 28. Play is deeply rooted in human in that it . A. helps tackle uncertainty and learn B. establishes new brain models C. functions as an addictive drug D. enhances brain development 29. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Animals use play to teach appropriate social behaviors. B. Showing empathy results in better performance in play. C. People should recognize how games influence decisions. D. Games bring about revolutions in math and scientific fields. 30. The passage intends to . A. explain the evolution of games throughout history B. analyze the impact of play on the entertainment industry C. introduce the role of games in current economic systems D. stress the importance of play in human and animal development 【答案】28.A 29. C 30. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。整篇文章的内容围绕游戏的深远历史和它在人类与动物行为、道德教育、科学发展及现代社会中的重要作用展开。通过不同的层面（从大脑科学到经济行为），作者阐述了游戏不仅仅是娱乐工具，它深刻影响着我们学习、社交、道德观念。 28. 细节理解题。根据第二段“But why is play so deeply ingrained (根深蒂固的)? The brain builds models of the world to anticipate events, and games are centered on uncertainty. Unpredictability signals something is missing in the brain’s model, prompting curiosity and further learning. Children, for example, stop playing tic-tac-toe once they realize it always ends in a draw. Through play, we learn to handle the unknown.(但为什么玩耍会如此根深蒂固呢？大脑会构建关于世界的模型以预测各种事件，而游戏则围绕着不确定性展开。不确定性表明大脑的模型中存在缺失之处，从而激发好奇心并促进进一步的学习。例如，孩子们在意识到井字棋总是会以平局告终后，就会不再玩这个游戏。通过玩耍，我们学会了应对未知)”可知，游戏在人类生活中有着根深蒂固的地位，因为它有助于应对不确定性并促进学习。故选A。 29. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Understanding how these games shape our behavior is crucial to ensuring we retain control over our values rather than letting the games play us.(了解这些游戏如何影响我们的行为，对于确保我们能够掌控自己的价值观，而非被这些游戏所左右，至关重要)”可知，人们应当认识到游戏对决策的影响。故选C。 30. 推理判断题。根据第一段“While play is often seen as trivial, it is evolutionarily ancient — many mammals, birds, and even insects engage in it. For neuroscientists, studying play is challenging because it’s difficult to suppress, revealing its deep roots in human and animal behavior.(虽然游戏通常被视为无关紧要的行为，但从进化角度来看，它却历史悠久——许多哺乳动物、鸟类以及昆虫都会进行游戏活动。对于神经科学家而言，研究游戏颇具挑战性，因为很难抑制这种行为，这表明其在人类和动物行为中有着深厚的根源)”结合这篇文章重点介绍了游戏的重要性。介绍它是如何深深根植于人类和动物的行为、它在动物大脑发育、动物社会学习以及人类道德教学中的作用。游戏在历史和经济学的作用也属于人类发展的范畴。可知，文章旨在强调游戏在人类及动物成长过程中的重要性。故选D。 D Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution is a global issue. This became particularly obvious when the World Atlas (地图册)of Night Sky Brightness a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin(褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is prevented when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙)patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Large numbers of insects, a primary food source for birds and other animals, are drawn to artificial light and are instantly killed upon contact with light sources. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals(滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt(海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is altering ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are urged to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡)and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 31. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para. 3 probably mean? A. Greatly improve. B. Well maintain. C. Strictly manage. D. Seriously damage. 32. According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A. Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016. B. Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C. Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals. D. LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 33 What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Negative. 34. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to reduce light pollution. B. To discuss fors and againsts of artificial light. C. To give suggestions to protect environment. D. To show development prospect of artificial light. 【答案】31. D 32. C 33. B 34. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人造光对人类和动物的危害，呼吁我们要行动起来，减少光污染。 31. 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线短语下文“It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. (它会干扰睡眠，扰乱昼夜节律——几乎所有生物体内指导昼夜活动并影响生理过程的24小时生物钟)”和下文提到的人造光对人类和动物造成的危害可知，人造光会打扰睡眠，扰乱生理节律，对人类和动物产生危害，结合划线短语所在句子“Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals.(人造光可以对人类和动物的自然节律wreak havoc on。)”可推知，人造光可以对人类和动物的自然节律造成严重破坏。由此可知，划线短语“wreak havoc on”意思与D项“严重损害”意思一样，故选D。 32．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙)patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. (研究表明，光污染也影响动物的行为，如迁徙模式和栖息地的形成。由于光污染，在月光引导下的海龟在迁徙过程中容易迷路，甚至死亡。)”可知，人造光影响动物的方向感和习性。故选C。 33. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference! (好消息是，光污染，不像其他形式的污染，是可逆的，我们每个人都可以做出改变！)”可知，光污染是可逆的，每个人都可以做出改变，由此可推知，作者对光污染控制的态度是积极乐观的，故选B。 34. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help.(光污染，极端或不适当的使用户外人工光，正在影响人类健康和野生动物的行为。有一个减少光污染的全球运动，每个人都可以帮忙。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人造光对人类和动物的危害，呼吁我们要行动起来，减少光污染，所以文章的写作目的是呼吁人们减少光污染。故选A。 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）Hesitation as intuition (直觉) You’ve thought about it. You’ve made your decision and then.….you hesitate. Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. ____35____ Our culture values doing. We’re constantly urged to “go for it.” But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness but rather a valuable signal? ____36____ But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. If you notice yourself hesitating, it might mean a part of you isn’t quite sure. Hesitation can be the body’s way of alerting us to overlooked details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice. Since hesitation can carry such significance, it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our bodies send. Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy, when we cultivate the habit of self-awareness and understand our fears, we can begin to decipher (辨认) the messages behind our hesitation. Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations. ____37____ Therefore, by integrating our emotions and physical sensations into the decision-making process, we access a more comprehensive understanding. To make more informed decisions, we can employ specific strategies. One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. ____38____ Another interesting way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision. And before it’s too late, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could. ____39____ By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity. A. It’s easy to miss intuitive signals when we are moving from thinking minds. B. They work within fixed frameworks that might not match the complex reality. C. While our minds are undoubtedly powerful, our bodies also hold a wealth of wisdom. D. In nature, the key to effective decision-making lies in seeing hesitation as a help. E. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything differs. F. Hesitation means your intuition is trying to speak to you from deep inner place. G. This hesitation is common yet often overlooked in our decision-making process. 【答案】35. G 36. C 37. B 38. E 39. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了犹豫的重要意义以及做出更明智的决定，我们可以采用具体的策略。 35. 根据上文“Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate.(你的鼠标悬停在“立即购买”按钮上，你已经写好了文字，但无法让自己按下“发送”。你犹豫)”可知，选项承接上文说明这种现象的普遍性和被忽视性。故G选项“这种犹豫很常见，但在我们做决定的过程中却经常被忽视”切题。故选G项。 36. 根据下文“But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. (但是我们并没有经常去倾听我们身体的声音。当我们集中注意力的时候，我们可以接触到很多非理性的信息，包括我们的直觉)”可知，选项承接下文说明我们的身体中藏着巨大的智慧。故C选项“虽然我们的思想无疑是强大的，但我们的身体也拥有丰富的智慧”切题。a wealth of wisdom呼应a lot of nonrational information。故选C项。 37. 根据上文“Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations.(此外，我们的理性思维也有其局限性)”可知，选项承接上文具体说明局限性的内容。故B选项“它们在固定的框架内工作，可能与复杂的现实不匹配”切题。故选B项。 38. 根据上文“One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait.(我们可以帮助自己做出具体决定的一种方法是注意到犹豫的时候，如果你有时间，等待)”可知，选项与上文为并列关系继续说明犹豫的时候该做的事情。故E选项“回顾一下你认为自己做出的决定，看看是否有什么不同”切题。故选E项。 39. 根据下文“By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity.(通过整合理性和直觉的元素，我们可以更有信心和更清晰地处理复杂的选择)”可知，选项在总结全文强调了犹豫在决策中的重要作用且这种作用能够帮助我们处理复杂的选择。故D选项“从本质上讲，有效决策的关键在于将犹豫视为一种帮助”切题。故选D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）Building relationships and working successfully with different cultural backgrounds can seem like a major challenge.

Cultural competence can be improved through training, education, and experience. Here are some simple tips to help you improve your cultural competence. Assess yourself The starting point is to understand your own cultural values and world view. Assess the current level of cultural competence in yourself and identify the knowledge, skills and resources that you want to acquire. This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future. Practice good manners No matter whom you are dealing with, make sure that you are respecting others’ backgrounds, boundaries and customs. Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you’re speaking to others in a kind and polite way. Ask questions When you don’t understand something or want to know why someone has behaved in a certain way, simply ask. Asking questions stops you making unnecessary assumptions, and shows the questions you did not understand to them. Keep in mind that developing cultural competence is not a one-shot enterprise. It takes time and practice. Whether you are in a classroom or on campus, cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment. Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone. 40. What is cultural competence according to the passage? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why is cultural competence important for people in intercultural environment? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. >To improve our cultural competence, we should not only understand our strengths and weaknesses in this area, but also ask questions when we don’t understand others’ behaviors, even if we may speak in an impolite way. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Apart from the tips mentioned in the passage, what other way(s) can you think of to develop your cultural competence? (In about 40 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. It is the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures. 41. Because people can resolve issues creatively and build trust between each other. 42. To improve our cultural competence, we should not only understand our strengths and weaknesses in this area, but also ask questions when we don’t understand others’ behaviors, even if we may speak in an impolite way. Because according to the passage, we have to make sure that we’re speaking to others in a kind and polite way. 43. To develop cultural competence, we should learn about different cultures by reading relevant books and searching for information online to equip ourselves with knowledge. It is advisable to join an intercultural communication workshop to interact with people from diverse backgrounds to improve our intercultural communication skills. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍是什么是“文化能力”，它的重要性，以及提高这种能力的方法。 40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段的“Essentially, cultural competence is defined as the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures.(从本质上讲，文化能力被定义为理解来自不同文化的人并与之有效互动的能力)”可知，文化能力是理解来自不同文化的人并与之有效互动的能力。故答案为：It is the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures. 41. 考查细节理解。根据第二段的“People with strong cultural competence can resolve these issues creatively, even if a solution seems impossible at first. What’s more, thinking and caring about others with different experiences can bring out a sense of understanding. This helps to build trust between each other.(具有强大文化能力的人可以创造性地解决这些问题，即使一开始似乎不可能解决。更重要的是，思考和关心有不同经历的人可以带来一种理解感。这有助于在彼此之间建立信任)”可知，在跨文化环境中文化能力对人们来说很重要是因为，有了它人们可以创造性地解决问题，并建立彼此之间的信任。故答案为：Because people can resolve issues creatively and build trust between each other. 42. 考查细节理解。根据Assess yourself部分的“This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future.(这可以让你对自己在该领域的优势和劣势有一个大致的了解，这样你就可以在未来提高自己)”和Practice good manners部分的“Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you’re speaking to others in a kind and polite way.(密切关注你的交流，确保你以一种友好和礼貌的方式与他人交谈)”可知，为了提高我们的文化能力，我们应该了解我们在这方面的优势和劣势，当我们不理解他人的行为时，我们应该礼貌地提出问题。因此错误部分是“even if we may speak in an impolite way”，因为根据原文所述，我们应该确保以友好和礼貌的方式与他人交流。故答案为：To improve our cultural competence, we should not only understand our strengths and weaknesses in this area, but also ask questions when we don’t understand others’ behaviors, even if we may speak in an impolite way. Because according to the passage, we have to make sure that we’re speaking to others in a kind and polite way. 43. 开放性问题。结合文章内容，答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。例如：为了培养文化能力，我们应该通过阅读相关书籍和在线搜索信息来了解不同的文化，从而获得知识。建议参加跨文化交流研讨会，与来自不同背景的人互动，以提高我们的跨文化交流技能。故答案为：To develop cultural competence, we should learn about different cultures by reading relevant books and searching for information online to equip ourselves with knowledge. It is advisable to join an intercultural communication workshop to interact with people from diverse backgrounds to improve our intercultural communication skills. 第二节（20分） （新话题）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你校上个月举办了九十周年校庆活动。英国交换生Jim听闻后，对此活动非常感兴趣，请你给Jim发邮件，内容包括： 1. 校庆活动介绍； 2. 你的感受。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Jim, I’m glad you’re interested in our school’s 90th anniversary celebration!

Then an airplane came into his sight. Gelinne looked up just in time to see that small air plane a few hundred yards away, losing control. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy officer, realized it was going to land in the lake. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (侧滑) to a stop on the broad, frozen lake, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck. Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water, paddling (划) toward the pilot. Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A lifeboat appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation? A. He had rescucing experience. B. He wanted to offer help in time. C. He needed more time to prepare. D. He was amazed at what had happened. 25. How did Gelinne help the pilot? A. He made a call to the police. B. He got the pilot out of the water. C. He asked the pilot to grasp the bow. D. He picked up the pilot onto the shore. 26. What Gelinne did in the rescue proved him to be ____________. A. brave B. generous C. curious D. strict 27. What can Gelinne probably learn from the rescue? A. Think twice before action. B. One good turn deserves another. C. It’s never too late to make things right. D. One should always be ready to seize chances. C （新热点）Games have captivated humans for millennia, with a history dating back to ancient Hindu hymns that compared dice games to an addictive drug. The world’s first casino in Renaissance Venice even led to the bankruptcy of the ruling class. Today, the gaming market is as large as all other forms of entertainment combined. While play is often seen as trivial, it is evolutionarily ancient — many mammals, birds, and even insects engage in it. For neuroscientists, studying play is challenging because it’s difficult to suppress, revealing its deep roots in human and animal behavior. But why is play so deeply ingrained (根深蒂固的)? The brain builds models of the world to anticipate events, and games are centered on uncertainty. Unpredictability signals something is missing in the brain’s model, prompting curiosity and further learning. Children, for example, stop playing tic-tac-toe once they realize it always ends in a draw. Through play, we learn to handle the unknown. Animals, particularly social ones, play to explore their environment and understand each other. Research on young rats shows that play is essential for brain development. Play-deprived rats are more aggressive and struggle with social cues. Similarly, kittens learn to control their claws and bite gently through play. Long before modern neuroscientists, philosophers like Plato believed games were crucial for teaching children to follow rules. Medieval aristocrats learned chess to understand their character, and the ancient game of Go was praised for sharpening insight. Ultimately, competitive games teach us to cooperate, obey rules, and pursue goals fairly. Games also serve as a medium for moral lessons. Games like Snakes and Ladders and the Mansion of Happiness taught players about karma (因果报应) and virtues versus vices. Through play, we consider other people’s desires and strategies, laying the foundation for empathy. In the Renaissance, gamblers who studied dice to gain an advantage helped develop probability theory. This formalization of randomness revolutionized mathematics and science, as chance could now be studied and systematized. Probability theory later became a key component of the scientific revolution, though its application in real-world events has led to issues like the replication crises in science. Today, probability theory is foundational in business and economics, with stock markets and financial derivatives using similar principles. Games also shape modern social and economic systems. Game designers, like Reiner Knizia, emphasize the importance of scoring systems to influence behavior. In games like Monopoly, players must act like capitalists to win, regardless of personal values. Corporations design games that influence our choices, from ads to apps. Understanding how these games shape our behavior is crucial to ensuring we retain control over our values rather than letting the games play us. 28. Play is deeply rooted in human in that it . A. helps tackle uncertainty and learn B. establishes new brain models C. functions as an addictive drug D. enhances brain development 29. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Animals use play to teach appropriate social behaviors. B. Showing empathy results in better performance in play. C. People should recognize how games influence decisions. D. Games bring about revolutions in math and scientific fields. 30. The passage intends to . A. explain the evolution of games throughout history B. analyze the impact of play on the entertainment industry C. introduce the role of games in current economic systems D. stress the importance of play in human and animal development D Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution is a global issue. This became particularly obvious when the World Atlas (地图册)of Night Sky Brightness a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin(褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is prevented when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙)patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Large numbers of insects, a primary food source for birds and other animals, are drawn to artificial light and are instantly killed upon contact with light sources. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals(滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt(海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is altering ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are urged to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡)and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 31. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para. 3 probably mean? A. Greatly improve. B. Well maintain. C. Strictly manage. D. Seriously damage. 32. According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A. Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016. B. Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C. Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals. D. LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 33 What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Negative. 34. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to reduce light pollution. B. To discuss fors and againsts of artificial light. C. To give suggestions to protect environment. D. To show development prospect of artificial light. 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。 Hesitation as intuition (直觉) （新语境）You’ve thought about it. You’ve made your decision and then.….you hesitate. Your mouse hovers over the “purchase now” button, you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. ____35____ Our culture values doing. We’re constantly urged to “go for it.” But what if hesitation is not a sign of weakness but rather a valuable signal? ____36____ But we don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we do pay attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information including our intuition. If you notice yourself hesitating, it might mean a part of you isn’t quite sure. Hesitation can be the body’s way of alerting us to overlooked details or concealed information that could be crucial to our choice. Since hesitation can carry such significance, it becomes essential to understand the nature of the signals our bodies send. Although distinguishing between intuition and fear or anxiety is not easy, when we cultivate the habit of self-awareness and understand our fears, we can begin to decipher (辨认) the messages behind our hesitation. Moreover, our rational minds have their limitations. ____37____ Therefore, by integrating our emotions and physical sensations into the decision-making process, we access a more comprehensive understanding. To make more informed decisions, we can employ specific strategies. One way that we can help ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. ____38____ Another interesting way to look at making a decision is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision. And before it’s too late, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could. ____39____ By integrating both rational and intuitive elements, we can handle the complex choices with greater confidence and clarity. A. It’s easy to miss intuitive signals when we are moving from thinking minds. B. They work within fixed frameworks that might not match the complex reality. C. While our minds are undoubtedly powerful, our bodies also hold a wealth of wisdom. D. In nature, the key to effective decision-making lies in seeing hesitation as a help. E. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything differs. F. Hesitation means your intuition is trying to speak to you from deep inner place. G. This hesitation is common yet often overlooked in our decision-making process. 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）Building relationships and working successfully with different cultural backgrounds can seem like a major challenge. But you can enjoy the rewards, while keeping dissatisfaction to a minimum. The key to making them work is cultural competence. Essentially, cultural competence is defined as the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures. Cultural competence is critical for everyone in today’s modern world. Living and working in a culturally diverse environment sometimes comes with differences of opinion and tension. People with strong cultural competence can resolve these issues creatively, even if a solution seems impossible at first. What’s more, thinking and caring about others with different experiences can bring out a sense of understanding. This helps to build trust between each other. Cultural competence can be improved through training, education, and experience. Here are some simple tips to help you improve your cultural competence. Assess yourself The starting point is to understand your own cultural values and world view. Assess the current level of cultural competence in yourself and identify the knowledge, skills and resources that you want to acquire. This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future. Practice good manners No matter whom you are dealing with, make sure that you are respecting others’ backgrounds, boundaries and customs. Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you’re speaking to others in a kind and polite way. Ask questions When you don’t understand something or want to know why someone has behaved in a certain way, simply ask. Asking questions stops you making unnecessary assumptions, and shows the questions you did not understand to them. Keep in mind that developing cultural competence is not a one-shot enterprise. It takes time and practice. Whether you are in a classroom or on campus, cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment. Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone. 40. What is cultural competence according to the passage? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why is cultural competence important for people in intercultural environment? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42.
