Welcome to the boy podcast today. I'm sharing an embarrassing personal experience that taught me one of the most important lessons of my career.

I was good at choosing the right people. And my small, hard working team moved mountains during those early days. After a successful first year, I books a fancy restaurant to celebrate. As we were leaving, I noticed mr. Green cleaner sweeping the floor. He wished us a great night, and I realized I had left him out. I simply hadn't considered him a parts of the team, but he was. He kept our works space clean. He fixed the ancient printer without complaint. We couldn't do anything without him, so I asked my assistance to contact the restaurant and up data reservation while I apologize and invited mr. r. Greens to come to my great relief. He generously accepted, telling me to forget IT, but I couldn't, and I never want to. As leaders, we must realize that those working beneath us form the very foundation of our success. Without them, everything falls apart. So do we strengthen that foundation with respect and recognition, or weaken IT with carelessness? The choice is clear. Welcome to the bossy podcast.

Chateau de Chambord, Loire Valley, France Located in the heart of the Loire Valley in France, the Chateau de Chambord and UNESCO World Heritage Site reflects the Renaissance era through and through. It’s home to the famous double helix (螺旋)staircase, designed by the great Leonardo Da Vinci. Windsor Castle, Berkshire, United Kingdom Escape from the crowded streets of London with a trip to Windsor Castle, located just 20minutes away by train from Paddington Station. This gothic-style castle is an ancient wonder—it is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland Sitting on Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle in Scotland is a historic fortress (堡垒) with a commanding presence over the city. Set against clear, expansive skies, its ancient beauty and attraction are best enjoyed at sunrise or sunset. If you’re traveling with kids, consider an interactive Harry Potter-themed walking tour that includes Edinburgh Castle as one of its stops. Schloss Neuschwanstein, Bavaria, Germany Set in the peaceful countryside of Bavaria, Germany, Neuschwanstein Castle is the very castle that inspired the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Located nearby is the equally impressive Hohenschwangau, where the late King Ludwig II spent his childhood. Both castles require admission tickets. Traveler tip: Join a skip-the-line tour with stopovers at both. 21. Which castle best suits a family with little kids? A. Chateau de Chambord. B. Windsor Castle. C. Edinburgh Castle. D.

Located nearby is the equally impressive Hohenschwangau, where the late King Ludwig II spent his childhood.(新天鹅堡坐落在德国巴伐利亚州宁静的乡村，正是这座城堡启发了加州阿纳海姆迪士尼乐园的睡美人城堡。附近还有同样令人印象深刻的霍恩施万高，已故国王路德维希二世在那里度过了他的童年)”可知，如果人们去德国巴伐利亚州可以一次参观两座城堡。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Ready to step into the magical world of castles? Here are some of the most beautiful and famous castles around the globe to add to your bucket list.(准备好进入城堡的神奇世界了吗？这里有一些世界上最美丽、最著名的城堡，可以添加到你的愿望清单中)”结合文章主要介绍了四座城堡，可知，旅游爱好者最有可能对文章感兴趣。故选B。 B It was my first trip to Paris, a city I’d dreamed of visiting since childhood. I wandered along the Seine River, snapped photos of the Eiffel Tower, and soaked in the charming atmosphere. However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty — my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone. Panic surged through me as I realized I had no way to contact anyone or pay for food and accommodation. Desperate and lost, I wandered aimlessly down a quiet street, trying to hold back tears. A kind-looking elderly man noticed my distress (困境) and approached me. “Are you in trouble, young lady?” he asked in broken English. I explained my situation, and his eyes filled with sympathy. Without hesitation, he offered to take me to the local police station to report the theft. On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, “Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.” At the police station, the officer was patient and helpful, taking down my details and promising to contact me if there was any news. As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, “Buy yourself a proper meal.” I tried to refuse, but he smiled and said, “Pass the kindness on someday.” A week later, I received a call from the police, my wallet and passport had been found by a tourist who handed them in. Though my phone was never recovered, I had already experienced something far more valuable. That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. I left Paris not just with memories of beautiful landmarks, but with a warm heart full of gratitude. 24. What was stolen from the author at the metro station? A. Her flight ticket and credit cards. B. Her phone, wallet and passport. C. Her camera and travel guide. D. Her cash and hotel reservation. 25. What does the underlined word “reassured” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Comforted B. Warned C. Criticized D. Challenged 26. We can infer from the passage that the elderly man ________. A. was a staff member of the youth hostel B. could speak fluent English with the author C. cared about the author’s basic needs. D. had known the author before the trip 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Terrible Theft in Paris B. The Beautiful Landmarks of Paris C. A Trip Full of Surprises and Regrets D. Kindness from a stranger in Paris 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时丢失手机、钱包和护照的遭遇。一位善良的老人提供了帮助，带她去警察局、买咖啡、联系旅社并给予食物。最终钱包和护照被找回，作者深刻体会到陌生人的善意，并对此充满感激。这次经历让她明白，即使在困境中，人性中的善良也是普遍存在的。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty—my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone.(然而，灾难在第三天降临了：当我在一个拥挤的地铁站伸手去拿我的包时，却发现包空了——我的手机、钱包和护照都不见了。)”可知，作者在地铁站伸手拿包时，发现包是空的，手机、钱包和护照都不见了。所以被偷的是作者的手机、钱包和护照。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, ‘Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.’(在路上，他给我买了一杯热咖啡，并……我说：“一切都会好起来的。巴黎人可不像人们说的那么冷漠。”)”可知，在去警察局的路上，老人说了一些话目的是来安慰作者，让作者放心。因此划线词意为“安慰”，选项A“Comforted(安慰)”与划线词意思相近。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, ‘Buy yourself a proper meal.’(当我离开时，心里仍感到有些不安。那位老人坚持开车送我到附近的一家青年旅社，并帮我谈妥了优惠价格。他还特意把一些欧元塞到我手里，说道：“给自己买顿像样的饭吃吧。”)”可知，老人很关心作者的基本需求。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. (那次旅行让我明白，善良是普世的，即便在最黑暗的时刻，陌生人也能带来光明。)”以及通读全文，文章讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时丢失手机、钱包和护照的遭遇。一位善良的老人提供了帮助，带她去警察局、买咖啡、联系旅社并给予食物。最终钱包和护照被找回，作者深刻体会到陌生人的善意，并对此充满感激。这次经历让她明白，即使在困境中，人性中的善良也是普遍存在的。因此，选项D“Kindness from a stranger in Paris(来自巴黎一个陌生人的善良)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选D。 C As the world’s appetite for electronic devices grows ever bigger, the other side of the coin — e-waste — is raising alarms. According to a UN report, 62 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2022, enough to fill 1.5 million trucks. Most of the e-waste went to landfills or burning, with potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. Besides, $62 billion-worth of recyclable resources like rare earth elements are lost in the process. Currently, just 1% of the world’s demand for these elements, which are necessary to modern electronic devices, is met by e-waste recycling. Aquafade, a plastic which can completely dissolve (溶解) in about six hours when placed in water, brings hope. It could be used in computers or keyboards, and dissolve when they’re no longer wanted, making it easier to recycle the most valuable components and reducing e-waste. “For most electronic products, when they’re being recycled, it’s the disassembly (拆卸) that’s the real hassle. Another bottleneck in e-waste recycling is transportation, which raises costs and creates carbon emissions.” says Samuel Wangsaputra, one of the inventors of Aquafade. “I think the brilliant bit with Aquafade is that a lot of that process is simply done at home.” Their challenge is to make a coating (涂层). It is also made of a plastic polymer, only applied to the outer shell, making the product water resistant up to five meters for 30 minutes, which covers accidental spills or wet weather. But once we disassemble the product, it creates a crack. That’s when we put it in water to dissolve six hours later, and what’s left is the most valuable parts of the product. Peter Edwards, a professor at the University of Oxford, calls it “an interesting development”, but wonders whether the dissolved plastic will persist in the environment and ultimately end up as microplastic. Samuel acknowledges they have not yet fully investigated how the solution would biodegrade (生物降解) in the long term. 28. What is the main concern raised about e-waste in paragraph 2? A. The rising cost of recycling e-waste. B. The great loss of valuable materials. C. The insufficient supply of rare earth elements. D. The public’s appetite for new electronic goods. 29. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strategy. B. Reason. C. Trouble. D. Value. 30. What was the primary technical challenge in developing Aquafade? A. Ensuring the coating dissolves quickly enough. B. Making a material that biodegrades completely. C. Applying the coating to the internal parts of a device. D. Creating a coating resisting water yet dissolving in it. 31. What is Peter Edwards’ attitude to Aquafade? A. Careful. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。全球电子垃圾问题严峻，大量垃圾被填埋焚烧，造成环境危害与资源浪费，新型可溶解塑料Aquafade为电子垃圾回收带来希望，但仍面临生物降解方面的质疑。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Besides, $62 billion-worth of recyclable resources like rare earth elements are lost in the process.(此外，在这一过程中，价值620亿美元的可回收资源（如稀土元素）也遭到了损失)”可知，关于电子废弃物所引发的主要担忧是造成了大量珍贵物资的损失。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“For most electronic products, when they’re being recycled, it’s the disassembly (拆卸) that’s the real hassle (对于大多数电子产品而言，在进行回收处理时，真正hassle的环节其实是拆解过程)”以及后文“Another bottleneck in e-waste recycling is transportation, which raises costs and creates carbon emissions.(电子废弃物回收过程中的另一个瓶颈在于运输问题，这会增加成本并产生碳排放)”可知，上下文提到电子垃圾回收的两大问题：拆卸和运输，“hassle”对应回收中遇到的麻烦，故画线词意思是“麻烦”。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Their challenge is to make a coating (涂层). It is also made of a plastic polymer, only applied to the outer shell, making the product water resistant up to five meters for 30 minutes, which covers accidental spills or wet weather. But once we disassemble the product, it creates a crack. That’s when we put it in water to dissolve six hours later, and what’s left is the most valuable parts of the product.(他们的任务是制造一层涂层。该涂层同样由一种塑料聚合物制成，仅涂覆在外壳表面，能使产品持续30分钟达到五米深水的防水效果，适用于意外泼洒或潮湿天气的情况。但一旦我们拆解产品，就会产生裂纹。那时我们将其放入水中等待六个小时后溶解，剩下的是产品中最有价值的部分)”可知，在开发“Aquafade”过程中，主要的技术难题是制成一种既能防水又能溶于水的涂层。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Peter Edwards, a professor at the University of Oxford, calls it “an interesting development”, but wonders whether the dissolved plastic will persist in the environment and ultimately end up as microplastic.(牛津大学的彼得·爱德华兹教授称这一情况为“一个有趣的发展”，但他也想知道溶解后的塑料是否会残留在环境中，并最终变成微塑料)”可知，彼得·爱德华斯既认为Aquafade的发现有趣，又担心其溶解后的残留问题，由此可推测他对Aquafade持谨慎态度。故选A。 D There is an academic department at Arizona State University that may surprise many people: More than 90% of undergraduates that have done a local internship (实习工作) are employed when they graduate. The department? Not business or computer science, as many people may initially guess, but English. It turns out that your parents are wrong. English majors — and others in humanities (人文学科) fields often seen as even less “marketable” — can get great jobs right out of college. Nationally, the number of humanities majors remained flat between 2015 and 2020. But at some US colleges, the number is increasing — and by a lot. At the University of California, Berkeley, the number of undergraduates with a major in the arts or humanities has gone up by more than 70% since 2013. And when it comes to job satisfaction, workers with undergraduate humanities degrees are just as happy with their careers as engineering and business majors. The humanities — which include English, philosophy, film studies, history and languages — are the study of human culture. Students who study these disciplines can expect to do a lot of writing, critical thinking, close reading and discussion. All of these are skills that develop a person’s ability to see a problem from many different angles and communicate persuasively. For some careers, an undergraduate degree in the humanities is a clear advantage. Billy Dunaway, chair of the philosophy department at the University of Missouri, says his students pursue careers in many fields, including business, public policy, insurance and computer science. For students planning to apply to law school, the way philosophy is taught — through the Socratic method, where the professor leads with a question which develops into a back-and-forth discussion and sometimes debate — prepares them well. Also, philosophy majors score better in the Law School Admission Test, on account of the fact that the test is essentially a logic test and many classes in law school are taught using the same Socratic method. 32. What is the common belief about humanities majors? A. They are losing their marketability. B. They have poor employment prospects. C. They get few internship opportunities. D. They are limited to humanities fields. 33. What can be learned from paragraph 2? A. Disciplines are treated equally nationwide. B. Job satisfaction varies greatly with majors. C. Undergraduates have various major choices. D. Humanities partly gain increasing recognition. 34. Which might be a focus of the humanities? A. Persuasive writing. B. Cross-disciplinary integration. C. Cultural understanding. D. Multidimensional problem-solving. 35. Why can philosophy benefit students planning to apply to law school? A. It improves their logical abilities. B. It covers knowledge of different fields. C. It emphasizes their critical thinking. D. It follows law school’s teaching method. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大众普遍认为人文学科就业前景差，但实际其毕业生能获得优质工作、就业满意度高，且人文学科培养的核心技能对多个职业领域极具价值。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It turns out that your parents are wrong. English majors—and others in humanities(人文学科) fields often seen as even less “marketable” — can get great jobs right out of college.(事实证明，你的父母错了。英语专业学生——以及其他常被认为“市场认可度”更低的人文学科学生——大学毕业后就能找到好工作。)”可知，人文学科常被认为“市场价值”更低，结合对父母们的认知错误的反驳，可推断大众普遍认为人文学科毕业生就业前景差。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But at some US colleges, the number is increasing—and by a lot. At the University of California, Berkeley, the number of undergraduates with a major in the arts or humanities has gone up by more than 70% since 2013. And when it comes to job satisfaction, workers with undergraduate humanities degrees are just as happy with their careers as engineering and business majors.(但在部分美国大学，人文学科的招生人数正在大幅增长：自2013年以来，加州大学伯克利分校的艺术或人文学科本科专业人数增长了70%以上。而且在工作满意度方面，拥有人文学科本科学位的从业者，其职业幸福感与工程学和商科专业毕业生不相上下。)”可知，部分美国大学的人文学科专业人数大幅增长，且人文学科毕业生就业满意度与工科、商科相当，说明人文学科逐步获得更多认可。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The humanities — which include English, philosophy, film studies, history and languages — are the study of human culture.(人文学科涵盖英语、哲学、电影研究、历史和语言等领域，是对人类文化的研究。)”可知，人文学科的核心是对人类文化的研究。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Also, philosophy majors score better in the Law School Admission Test, on account of the fact that the test is essentially a logic test and many classes in law school are taught using the same Socratic method.(此外，哲学专业学生在法学院入学考试中表现更出色，因为该考试本质上是一场逻辑测试，且法学院的许多课程也采用与哲学专业相同的苏格拉底教学法。)”可知，哲学专业学生在法学院考试中表现更佳，原因是哲学培养了他们的逻辑能力。故选A。 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I retired two years ago, at age 71, from a career that was primarily writing, but also included teaching and consulting. For the past 20 years, I worked as a technical writer. I enjoyed my work as there was a lot of variety. ____36____ There was more repetition, and I was less interested in keeping up with new technologies as I got older. I felt I had saved enough money, and it was a good time to stop working. I was a little nervous when the first Monday of retirement came. I didn’t miss the work itself, but I do miss the interaction with co-workers. However, I was quite surprised by how easy the transition (转变) was. ____37____ I’m also busy with housework and managing my finances. I’ve done well financially since becoming a self-directed investor in 2010. ____38____ I then worked and saved consistently for the next 13 years. I don’t worry about my investments in retirement at all. ____39____ Although I don’t need to cut back on my expenses, I do try to be economical on daily expenses, such as food and personal items like clothes. ____40____ I socialize with family and friends, take courses at the University of Toronto, read about 50 books a year and enjoy watching classic films with my wife. My advice to others is that if you enjoy your work, keep doing it as long as you can — and as long as you’re allowed to. If work is a core part of your identity and you have few other interests, retirement could be a challenge. A. Retirement frees up energy of all kinds. B. After gently firing my advisor, I took charge. C. I play classical piano to engage my mind and body. D. However, I found it less enjoyable once I hit my 70s. E. I haven’t figured out where to find outlets for my energy. F. Some people work part-time to maintain social connections. G. They’re well-diversified and can weather any market storms. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. G 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过回顾自身退休经历，阐述了只要规划得当并培养丰富兴趣，退休生活可以成为一段充实而顺利的人生新篇章这一中心思想。 【36题详解】 根据上文“I enjoyed my work as there was a lot of variety.(这份工作内容丰富多样，我很喜欢)”和下文“There was more repetition, and I was less interested in keeping up with new technologies as I got older.(重复性越来越高，而且随着年龄增长，我也渐渐没那么有兴趣追赶新技术)”可知，空处为过渡句，体现作者从喜欢到不喜欢的心态转变，D项“However, I found it less enjoyable once I hit my 70s.(然而，当我进入70多岁时，我发现乐趣减少了)”符合语境，体现了作者心态的变化。故选D。 【37题详解】 根据上文“ However, I was quite surprised by how easy the transition ( 转变) was. (然而，我却对这一转变过程的顺利程度感到十分惊讶。)”和下文“I’m also busy with housework and managing my finances.(我还得忙于做家务以及管理自己的财务事宜。)”可知，这是描述作者刚退休的情况。承接前文 “transition was easy”（转变很顺利）以及后文提到 “I’m also busy with...”（还忙于家务和理财），空格需补充退休后的具体忙碌事项，体现“busy” 的状态。C 选项 “我弹古典钢琴来让身心投入” 是退休后的具体活动，与后文 “also busy with...” 形成并列关系，说明退休生活充实，呼应 “transition was easy”。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“I’ve done well financially since becoming a self-directed investor in 2010.(自2010年成为一名自主投资者以来，我在财务方面做得很好)”和下文“I then worked and saved consistently for the next 13 years.(在接下来的13年里，我一直坚持不懈地工作和储蓄)”可知，空处要体现作者如何成为自主投资者。B项“After gently firing my advisor, I took charge.(在委婉地辞退我的顾问后，我开始负责)”符合语境，体现了作者成为自主投资者的背景因素。故选B。 【39题详解】 根据上文“I don’t worry about my investments in retirement at all.(我一点也不担心我退休后的投资)”和下文“Although I don’t need to cut back on my expenses, I do try to be economical on daily expenses, such as food and personal items like clothes.(虽然我不需要削减开支，但我确实尽量在日常开销，比如食物和衣服等个人用品上节省一些)”可知，空处要体现作者不担心投资的原因。G项“They’re well-diversified and can weather any market storms.(它们投资分布广泛，能够抵御任何市场风暴)”符合语境，主语they指代前句中的my investments(我的投资)，解释了作者不担心投资的因素是它们分布广。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据下文“I socialize with family and friends, take courses at the University of Toronto, read about 50 books a year and enjoy watching classic films with my wife.(我与家人和朋友交往，在多伦多大学上课，每年阅读大约50本书，并喜欢和妻子一起观看经典电影)可知，空格后列举了退休后的多种活动 ——“社交、上课、读书、看电影”，空格需作为总起句，概括这些活动的前提。A 选项 “退休释放各种能量” 是总述，后文的具体活动是 “能量释放” 的具体体现，形成 “总 - 分” 结构，衔接紧密。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) Why do most people choose to stay with their current employer? The ____41____ usually depends on their age, life circumstances, and personal motivations. A recent poll on our website asked the same question. The ____42____ reason for staying on the job was the nature of work and job satisfaction. Coming in a close second was flexible schedule and work-life balance. Next was work environment and corporate culture, followed by advancement opportunity and personal growth. Salary and benefits were the least important. Is it ____43____ that salary comes in last on this list? Not really. Salary and benefits do not usually make it into the top three reasons for job satisfaction on such surveys. Most people know they could earn more money elsewhere, but it’s not enough to get them to ____44____ a job they like. Advancement doesn’t rank at the top of the list, either. That’s probably because so many people think that moving up can make life on the job more ____45____. The only thing one gets ____46____ is more money. So what ____47____ job satisfaction? One typical answer is “I like to be challenged”. People who say this like to work toward ____48____. They like new ____49____ assignments so that they can test their skills and creativity. Another typical answer is “I like to feel I’m making a ____50____”. Many people get a sense of community when they are working with a group of co-workers toward a(n) ____51____ goal. It is very important for them to have close, friendly relationships with co-workers, and they will do better when others ____52____ their efforts. Finally, there are those who say “I get ____53____ from a job well done”. Such people love the technical work they do; they feel ____54____ the results of their efforts. These people have high standards of quality and work best when they have control over a project. They will try harder when others know about the work they have done. Basically, the main reason why people work is to earn money, but it is not money that gives them satisfaction. ____55____ employees something more, and you are likely to get more from them. 41.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了大多数人选择留在当前雇主身边的原因，分析了不同因素对工作满意度的影响，并指出除了金钱之外，还有其他更重要的因素能够给予员工满足感。 41题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：答案通常取决于他们的年龄、生活环境和个人动机。A. question问题；B. answer答案；C. result结果；D. survey调查。前文“Why do most people choose to stay with their current employer?”提出了一个问题，这里在讨论这个问题的答案。故选B项。 【42题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：留在工作岗位的首要原因是工作的性质和工作满意度。A. top首要的；B. actual实际的；C. good好的；D. possible可能的。后文“Coming in a close second was flexible schedule and work-life balance.”提出紧随其后的次要原因，那么前面提到的“工作的性质和工作满意度”就是首要原因。故选A项。 【43题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：薪资在这份清单上排在最后不寻常吗？其实不然。A. impossible不可能的；B. improper不合适的；C. unclear不清楚的；D. unusual不寻常的。后文“Salary and benefits do not usually make it into the top three reasons for job satisfaction on such surveys.”解释了在类似的调查中，薪水和福利通常都排在后面，这是寻常情况，由此推知，上文是在问这一现象是否是不寻常的，即“Is it unusual...?”。故选D项。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：大多数人知道他们可以在其他地方赚更多的钱，但这还不足以让他们离开一份他们喜欢的工作。A. leave离开；B. find发现；C. maintain维持；D. lose失去。根据前文“they could earn more money elsewhere”和“but”可推知，虽然在其他地方能赚更多的钱，但不足以让他们离开自己喜欢的工作。故选A项。 【45题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这可能是因为很多人认为升职会让工作生活更加不愉快。A. exciting令人兴奋的；B. rewarding值得的；C. unpleasant不愉快的；D. uncompetitive无竞争力的。前文“Advancement doesn’t rank at the top of the list, either.”说明升职不是人们留在某个工作岗位的首要原因，由此推知，升职会让工作生活更加不愉快，所以人们不会因为了升职而留在某个岗位。故选C项。 46题详解】 考查短语辨析。句意：作为回报，一个人唯一得到的就是更多的钱。A. for sure确定；B. in return作为回报；C. by himself独自地；D. after all毕竟。根据前文“moving up”和后文“more money”可知，升职通常意味着加薪，即得到更多的钱作为回报。故选B项。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那么，是什么创造了工作满意度呢？A. launches发起；B. creates创造，产生；C. prevents阻止；D. expresses表达。后文“One typical answer is “I like to be challenged”.”和“They like new ____ assignments so that they can test their skills and creativity.”介绍了工作满意度产生的一个原因，所以句中问的是什么创造了工作满意度。故选B项。 【48题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这样说的人喜欢朝着目标努力。A. holidays假期；B. wages工资；C. changes改变；D. goals目标。根据前文“I like to be challenged”和“work toward”可推知，喜欢挑战的人有着明确的目标，喜欢朝着目标努力。故选D项。 【49题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他们喜欢有挑战性的任务，这样他们可以测试自己的技能和创造力。A. outstanding杰出的；B. challenging有挑战性的；C. puzzling令人困惑的；D. tempting诱人的。根据前文“I like to be challenged”和后文“so that they can test their skills and creativity”可知，喜欢挑战的人会用有挑战性的任务来测试他们的技能和创造力。故选B项。 【50题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：另一个典型的答案是“我喜欢感觉自己在做出贡献”。A. promise承诺；B. fortune财富；C. contribution贡献；D. response回应。根据后文“Many people get a sense of community when they are working with a group of co-workers toward a(n) ____ goal.”和“It is very important for them to have close, friendly relationships with co-workers”可推知，人们喜欢与团队合作，会因为做出贡献而获得一种集体归属感。故选C项。 【51题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当许多人和一群同事一起朝着一个共同的目标努力时，他们会获得一种集体感。A. ideal理想的；B. common共同的；C. familiar熟悉的；D. ambitious有野心的。根据前文“with a group of co-workers”可推知，一群同事在一起是为了朝着一个共同的目标努力。故选B项。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：与同事建立亲密友好的关系对他们来说非常重要，当别人欣赏他们的努力时，他们会做得更好。A. gain获得；B. spare抽出；C. appreciate欣赏；D. evaluate评估。根据前文“It is very important for them to have close, friendly relationships with co-workers”可知，与同事建立亲密友好的关系对他们来说非常重要，因为当别人欣赏他们的努力时，他们会做得更好。故选C项。 【53题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：最后，有人说：“我从一份出色的工作中得到满足感。”A. promotion晋升；B. pressure压力；C. knowledge知识；D. satisfaction满足感。根据前文“So what ____ job satisfaction?”和后文“Such people love the technical work they do; they feel ____ the results of their efforts.”可知，有些人喜欢自己所做的技术工作，能从自己喜欢的工作中得到满足感，回答案了上文的问题。故选D项。 【54题详解】 考查固定短语辨析。句意：这样的人喜欢他们所做的技术工作；他们为自己的努力结果感到自豪。A. proud of自豪；B. curious about好奇；C. worried about担心；D. interested in感兴趣。根据前文“Such people love the technical work they do”和后文“the results of their efforts”可知，这样的人喜欢他们所做的技术工作，所以他们会因自己努力的结果而感到自豪。故选A项。 【55题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：给员工更多的东西，你可能会从他们那里得到更多。A. Offer提供；B. Reward奖励；C. Promise承诺；D. Teach教。根据前文“Basically, the main reason why people work is to earn money, but it is not money that gives them satisfaction.”和后文“you are likely to get more from them”可知，对员工来说，钱不能带来满足感，所以除了钱，还需要给员工更多其它的东西，这样才能得到更多回报。故选A项。 第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 请阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或使用括号中单词的正确形式。 China is harnessing modern science and technology to preserve its rich cultural heritage, with national research bases leading groundbreaking work.

In my view, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, these devices provide easy access to vast amounts of information and educational resources, enhancing learning efficiency. On the other hand, excessive use may lead to distractions and a decline in focus. To harness the benefits while mitigating the drawbacks, I suggest setting clear boundaries for device usage.

Thick smoke came out from under the hood (引擎盖), mixing with the yellow dust on the Montana grassland. I had driven for three hours to interview Jason, the local hero who had saved five people from a burning truck the previous Sunday. My car broke down on the road, and with my limited knowledge of cars, I really had no idea how to fix it. As the sun went down behind the faraway hills, painting the sky orange and purple, a rundown pickup truck stopped behind me. A big man got out. He was very tall and strong, with muscles showing through his dirty work jacket. His face looked weather-beaten, with a thick beard (胡须) and serious eyes. A metal badge (徽章) was shining on his chest, but I didn’t know what it meant — perhaps from a work team or a local group. “Need help, Miss?” the man asked. His voice was loud and worn out, as if he had been shouting a lot. In such a wilderness, I doubted his intentions. My heart raced so fast that I feared he might hear it. “My… my friend is coming,” I said, lying. I looked straight at the side mirror, hoping someone would appear there. The man noticed my hesitation. He took out a dirty notebook from his pocket and tore out a page. I heard his pen scratch (发出沙沙声) as he wrote. Then he knocked on my window with the paper. “This is my number,” he said, holding it up. “Call if you need help.” He drove away, leaving me alone in the dark with the wind blowing through my broken car. I called the official rescue service immediately. “You’ll wait two hours,” the operator said. “Or we can send a private team nearby.” After hesitating for a second, I made a quick reply, “Okay, send the private team.” The sky was getting darker, and I didn’t want to keep waiting in the dark wilderness. （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Unexpectedly, it was the big man who came to the rescue. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Obviously, the man was the Jason I was going to interview. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Unexpectedly, it was the big man who came to the rescue. Without saying much, he walked to my car, lifted the hood, and started checking the engine. His rough hands moved carefully, as if he knew every little detail of the engine by heart. Sure enough, he completed the repair in just ten minutes. I thanked him repeatedly, then mentioned that I had actually driven there to interview Jason — a hero who had saved five people from a burning truck the previous week. Upon hearing my words, he glanced down at the metal badge on his chest and smiled softly. “You mean me? My name’s Jason,” he said. Obviously, the man was the Jason I was going to interview. I was so surprised that I quickly held up my notebook and conducted the interview on the side of the road. During our talk, Jason shared the story of saving people, adding that he just did what he thought was right. It was at that moment that I realized: he was not only a brave hero, but also a kind, down-to-earth man. That unplanned meeting, filled with warmth, felt like a lovely surprise — and it brought home the truth of the old saying: “Heroes are made in the hour of need.” 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因汽车故障在蒙大拿荒野遇险，得到当地英雄Jason的意外帮助。Jason不仅修好了作者的车，还分享了自己救人的故事。这次相遇让作者深刻体会到英雄并非遥不可及，他们就在我们身边，平凡而伟大，印证了“英雄在危难时刻诞生”的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“出乎意料的是，是那个大块头男子挺身而出进行了救援。”可知，第一段可描写Jason意外出现并开始修理汽车的过程。他动作迅速，手法熟练，体现了他的专业能力。 ②由第二段首句内容“显然，这个人正是我原本打算采访的Jason。”可知，第二段可描写作者向Jason提及来意，Jason承认自己的身份，并分享了他的救人事迹。这段对话让作者对Jason有了更深的认识。 2.续写线索： 车抛锚——陌生人帮助——发现身份——采访——英雄事迹——感悟人生 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.走进：walk to/walk over/get close to/approach ②.采访：interview sb/conduct an interview ③.分享：share the story / tell the experience / recount the incident 情绪类 ①感激：thank him repeatedly / express gratitude / show appreciation ②惊讶：be surprised / be astonished / be amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Here are some of the most beautiful and famous castles around the globe to add to your bucket list. Chateau de Chambord, Loire Valley, France Located in the heart of the Loire Valley in France, the Chateau de Chambord and UNESCO World Heritage Site reflects the Renaissance era through and through. It’s home to the famous double helix (螺旋)staircase, designed by the great Leonardo Da Vinci. Windsor Castle, Berkshire, United Kingdom Escape from the crowded streets of London with a trip to Windsor Castle, located just 20minutes away by train from Paddington Station. This gothic-style castle is an ancient wonder—it is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland Sitting on Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle in Scotland is a historic fortress (堡垒) with a commanding presence over the city. Set against clear, expansive skies, its ancient beauty and attraction are best enjoyed at sunrise or sunset. If you’re traveling with kids, consider an interactive Harry Potter-themed walking tour that includes Edinburgh Castle as one of its stops. Schloss Neuschwanstein, Bavaria, Germany Set in the peaceful countryside of Bavaria, Germany, Neuschwanstein Castle is the very castle that inspired the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Located nearby is the equally impressive Hohenschwangau, where the late King Ludwig II spent his childhood. Both castles require admission tickets. Traveler tip: Join a skip-the-line tour with stopovers at both. 21. Which castle best suits a family with little kids? A. Chateau de Chambord. B. Windsor Castle. C. Edinburgh Castle. D. Schloss Neuschwanstein. 22. What can people do if they go to Bavaria, Germany? A. Skip the line at will. B. Take a tour for free. C. Get some inspiration. D. Visit two castles at a time. 23. Who are most likely to be interested in the text? A. Nature adventurers. B. Travel lovers. C. Extreme sports players. D. Professional philosophers. B It was my first trip to Paris, a city I’d dreamed of visiting since childhood. I wandered along the Seine River, snapped photos of the Eiffel Tower, and soaked in the charming atmosphere. However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty — my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone. Panic surged through me as I realized I had no way to contact anyone or pay for food and accommodation. Desperate and lost, I wandered aimlessly down a quiet street, trying to hold back tears. A kind-looking elderly man noticed my distress (困境) and approached me. “Are you in trouble, young lady?” he asked in broken English. I explained my situation, and his eyes filled with sympathy. Without hesitation, he offered to take me to the local police station to report the theft. On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, “Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.” At the police station, the officer was patient and helpful, taking down my details and promising to contact me if there was any news. As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, “Buy yourself a proper meal.” I tried to refuse, but he smiled and said, “Pass the kindness on someday.” A week later, I received a call from the police, my wallet and passport had been found by a tourist who handed them in. Though my phone was never recovered, I had already experienced something far more valuable. That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. I left Paris not just with memories of beautiful landmarks, but with a warm heart full of gratitude. 24. What was stolen from the author at the metro station? A. Her flight ticket and credit cards. B. Her phone, wallet and passport. C. Her camera and travel guide. D. Her cash and hotel reservation. 25. What does the underlined word “reassured” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Comforted B. Warned C. Criticized D. Challenged 26 We can infer from the passage that the elderly man ________. A. was a staff member of the youth hostel B. could speak fluent English with the author C. cared about the author’s basic needs. D. had known the author before the trip 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Terrible Theft in Paris B. The Beautiful Landmarks of Paris C A Trip Full of Surprises and Regrets D. Kindness from a stranger in Paris C As the world’s appetite for electronic devices grows ever bigger, the other side of the coin — e-waste — is raising alarms. According to a UN report, 62 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2022, enough to fill 1.5 million trucks. Most of the e-waste went to landfills or burning, with potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. Besides, $62 billion-worth of recyclable resources like rare earth elements are lost in the process. Currently, just 1% of the world’s demand for these elements, which are necessary to modern electronic devices, is met by e-waste recycling. Aquafade, a plastic which can completely dissolve (溶解) in about six hours when placed in water, brings hope. It could be used in computers or keyboards, and dissolve when they’re no longer wanted, making it easier to recycle the most valuable components and reducing e-waste. “For most electronic products, when they’re being recycled, it’s the disassembly (拆卸) that’s the real hassle. Another bottleneck in e-waste recycling is transportation, which raises costs and creates carbon emissions.” says Samuel Wangsaputra, one of the inventors of Aquafade. “I think the brilliant bit with Aquafade is that a lot of that process is simply done at home.” Their challenge is to make a coating (涂层). It is also made of a plastic polymer, only applied to the outer shell, making the product water resistant up to five meters for 30 minutes, which covers accidental spills or wet weather. But once we disassemble the product, it creates a crack. That’s when we put it in water to dissolve six hours later, and what’s left is the most valuable parts of the product. Peter Edwards, a professor at the University of Oxford, calls it “an interesting development”, but wonders whether the dissolved plastic will persist in the environment and ultimately end up as microplastic. Samuel acknowledges they have not yet fully investigated how the solution would biodegrade (生物降解) in the long term. 28. What is the main concern raised about e-waste in paragraph 2? A. The rising cost of recycling e-waste. B. The great loss of valuable materials. C. The insufficient supply of rare earth elements. D. The public’s appetite for new electronic goods. 29. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strategy. B. Reason. C. Trouble. D. Value. 30. What was the primary technical challenge in developing Aquafade? A. Ensuring the coating dissolves quickly enough. B. Making a material that biodegrades completely. C. Applying the coating to the internal parts of a device. D. Creating a coating resisting water yet dissolving in it. 31. What is Peter Edwards’ attitude to Aquafade? A. Careful. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Unclear. D There is an academic department at Arizona State University that may surprise many people: More than 90% of undergraduates that have done a local internship (实习工作) are employed when they graduate. The department? Not business or computer science, as many people may initially guess, but English. It turns out that your parents are wrong. English majors — and others in humanities (人文学科) fields often seen as even less “marketable” — can get great jobs right out of college. Nationally, the number of humanities majors remained flat between 2015 and 2020. But at some US colleges, the number is increasing — and by a lot. At the University of California, Berkeley, the number of undergraduates with a major in the arts or humanities has gone up by more than 70% since 2013. And when it comes to job satisfaction, workers with undergraduate humanities degrees are just as happy with their careers as engineering and business majors. The humanities — which include English, philosophy, film studies, history and languages — are the study of human culture. Students who study these disciplines can expect to do a lot of writing, critical thinking, close reading and discussion. All of these are skills that develop a person’s ability to see a problem from many different angles and communicate persuasively. For some careers, an undergraduate degree in the humanities is a clear advantage. Billy Dunaway, chair of the philosophy department at the University of Missouri, says his students pursue careers in many fields, including business, public policy, insurance and computer science. For students planning to apply to law school, the way philosophy is taught — through the Socratic method, where the professor leads with a question which develops into a back-and-forth discussion and sometimes debate — prepares them well. Also, philosophy majors score better in the Law School Admission Test, on account of the fact that the test is essentially a logic test and many classes in law school are taught using the same Socratic method. 32. What is the common belief about humanities majors? A. They are losing their marketability. B. They have poor employment prospects. C. They get few internship opportunities. D. They are limited to humanities fields. 33. What can be learned from paragraph 2? A. Disciplines are treated equally nationwide. B. Job satisfaction varies greatly with majors. C. Undergraduates have various major choices. D. Humanities partly gain increasing recognition. 34. Which might be a focus of the humanities? A. Persuasive writing. B. Cross-disciplinary integration. C. Cultural understanding. D. Multidimensional problem-solving. 35. Why can philosophy benefit students planning to apply to law school? A. It improves their logical abilities. B. It covers knowledge of different fields. C. It emphasizes their critical thinking. D. It follows law school’s teaching method. 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I retired two years ago at age 71, from a career that was primarily writing, but also included teaching and consulting. For the past 20 years, I worked as a technical writer. I enjoyed my work as there was a lot of variety. ____36____ There was more repetition, and I was less interested in keeping up with new technologies as I got older. I felt I had saved enough money, and it was a good time to stop working. I was a little nervous when the first Monday of retirement came. I didn’t miss the work itself, but I do miss the interaction with co-workers. However, I was quite surprised by how easy the transition (转变) was. ____37____ I’m also busy with housework and managing my finances.

The ____41____ usually depends on their age, life circumstances, and personal motivations. A recent poll on our website asked the same question. The ____42____ reason for staying on the job was the nature of work and job satisfaction. Coming in a close second was flexible schedule and work-life balance.
