Jane Goodall, Who Chronicled (详实记载) the Social Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91 By Keith Schneider, The New York Times, Published Oct. 1,2025 Her discoveries as a primatologist in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behave in the wild were hailed as “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements”. Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, who earned scientific stature and global celebrity by chronicling the distinctive behavior of wild chimpanzees in East Africa—primates ____1____ made and used tools, ate meat, held rain dances and engaged in organized warfare—died on Wednesday in Los Angeles. She was 91. Her death, ____2____ she was on a speaking tour, was confirmed by the Jane Goodall Institute, ____3____ U.S. headquarters are in Washington, D.C. When not traveling widely, she lived in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England, in her childhood home. Dr. Goodall was 29 in the summer of 1963 when National Geographic magazine published her 7,500-word, 37-page account of the lives of primates she ____4____ (observe) in the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in what is now Tanzania. On the scientific merits alone, her discoveries about how wild chimpanzees raised their young, established leadership, socialized and communicated _______5_______ (break) new ground and attracted immense attention and respect among researchers. Stephen Jay Gould, the evolutionary biologist and science historian, said her work with chimpanzees “represents one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” On learning of Dr. Goodall’s documented evidence ____6____ humans were not the only creatures capable of making and using tools, Louis Leakey, the paleoanthropologist and Dr. Goodall’s mentor, famously remarked, “Now we ____7____ redefine ‘tool,’ redefine ‘man,’ or accept chimpanzees as humans.” In articles and books, her lucid (易懂的) prose carried vivid descriptions, some lighthearted, of the numerous perils she encountered in the African rainforest-malaria, leopards, crocodiles, spitting cobras and deadly giant centipedes, to name a few. Her writing gained its ____8____ (wide) attention in three more long articles in National Geographic in the 1960s and 70s and in three well-received books, “My Friends, the Wild Chimpanzees” (1967), “In the Shadow of Man” and “Through a Window” (1990). Dr. Goodall’s willingness to challenge scientific convention and shape the details of her research ____9____ a riveting (吸引人的) adventure narrative about two primary subjects-the chimps and herself-turned her into a household name, in no small part thanks to the power of television. In December 1965, CBS News aired a documentary of her work in prime time, the first in a long string of nationally and internationally televised special reports about the chimpanzees of Gombe and the courageous woman steadfastly chronicling _____10_____ she called their “rich emotional life.” 【答案】1. that##which 2. while 3. whose 4. had observed 5. had broken 6. that 7. must 8. widest 9. into 10. what 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了灵长类动物学家和环保主义者Jane Goodall的卓越一生。 【1题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：Jane Goodall世界上最受尊敬的环保主义者之一，于周三在洛杉矶去世，享年91岁。她因详实记录东非野生黑猩猩——这些灵长类动物会制造和使用工具、食肉、举行祈雨仪式并参与有组织的战争——的独特行为而赢得了科学地位和全球声誉。此处引导定语从句，先行词primates，指物，在定语从句中作主语，故应用关系代词that/which引导，故填that/which。 【2题详解】 考查时间状语从句引导词。句意：她的去世由珍·古道尔研究所证实，当时她正在巡回演讲，该研究所的美国总部设在华盛顿特区。此处引导时间状语从句，表示“她正在进行巡回演讲”，故应用连词while“当……时候”引导，强调两个动作同时发生。故填while。 【3题详解】 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：同上。此处引导定语从句，先行词为“the Jane Goodall Institute”，在定语从句中作定语，表示“研究所的”这一所属关系，故应用关系代词whose在定语从句中作定语。故填whose。 【4题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：1963年夏，古道尔博士29岁，《国家地理》杂志发表了她的7500字、37页的报告，记述了她在如今坦桑尼亚境内的贡贝河黑猩猩保护区所观察到的灵长类动物生活。此处为从句中的谓语动词，主语为she，与observe之间为主动关系，且主句谓语动词“published”为过去时可知，“观察”这一动作发生在“发表”之前，是“过去的过去”，因此需用过去完成时。故填had observed。 【5题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：仅就其科学价值而言，她关于野生黑猩猩如何养育后代、建立领导地位、社交和沟通的发现，已经开辟了新天地，并在研究人员中引起了极大的关注和尊重。此处为谓语动词，主语为her discoveries，与break之间为主动关系，且此处描述她的“发现”所产生的影响，故应用完成时，且这些影响在她获得“关注和尊重”时已经完成，获得关注和尊重已经是过去时，故“break new ground”需用过去完成时“had broken”来表示其先完成性。故填had broken。 【6题详解】 考查同位语从句。句意：在得知古道尔博士有证据表明人类并非唯一能够制造和使用工具的物种后，古人类学家兼古道尔博士的导师路易斯·利基著名地评论道：“现在我们必须重新定义‘工具’，重新定义‘人’，或者承认黑猩猩是人类。”此处引导同位语从句，是对 “documented evidence”内容的解释说明，故应用that引导，在从句中不充当任何成分，只起连接作用。故填that。 【7题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：同上。此处意为“我们必须重新定义……”，故应用情态动词“must”。故填must。 【8题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：她的写作在20世纪60年代和70年代《国家地理》杂志的三篇长文以及三本广受好评的书籍《我的朋友，野生黑猩猩》（1967年）、《人类的阴影》和《透过窗户》（1990年）中获得了最广泛的关注。根据上下文，此处是将她在《国家地理》文章和书籍中获得的关注，与她的其他文章的受关注度进行比较，结合“in three more long articles”可知，此处应使用形容词最高级形式“widest”，表示她的写作获得了最广泛的关注。故填widest。 【9题详解】 考查介词。句意：古道尔博士乐于挑战科学常规，并将研究细节塑造成一个关于两个主要对象（黑猩猩和她自己）的引人入胜的冒险叙事，这使她成为家喻户晓的人物，这在很大程度上要归功于电视的力量。此处意为“将……塑造成……的形状/形式”，表达为shape... into...，故此处应用介词into。故填into。 【10题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：1965年12月，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻在黄金时段播出了一部关于她工作的纪录片，这是此后一系列关于贡贝黑猩猩以及这位勇敢女性坚定不移地记录她称之为“丰富情感生活”的国内外电视特别报道中的第一部。此处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少动词called的宾语，且指代事物（黑猩猩的情感生活），因此应用连接代词what引导。故填what。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

An indisputable highlight along this section is the Glenfinnan Viaduct (高架桥), which staff took time to announce in a small break. Fans of the Harry Potter films often lose their minds at this ____17____ of the 120-year-old line-the Hogwarts Express passes over this old viaduct in several of the movies. And I could easily see why it’s simply breathtaking to behold and attracts visitors from across the globe. It’s the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland and spans about a thousand feet over the River Finnan around one hundred feet above the ground, passing through some of the most atmospheric and ____18____ scenery.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective isolation in it. I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, I guarded this place of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would hand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water the onions.” Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over, and they would leave me to myself. Then one day, I was trying to prepare the soil, and I honestly wasn’t enjoying my time of peace and loneliness. My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Working as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in no time at all. I thanked Josiah, realizing that l had enjoyed his company. The same thing happened with picking up rocks and planting the seeds —one or two of the children would appear to watch and then participate. Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. So I stopped resenting their company and instead I began to share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real work began, I expected the children to disappear, but no, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking for insects. One day I slipped out by myself to the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicion that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked along the row, a little voice piped up behind me. “What are you eating, Mama?” Abby’s big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull the strings off and pop (剥出) the peas into her mouth. She just loved how tasty they were. Then my sweet seven-year-old girl put me to shame. “Mama, I’ve got to pick a bunch. Won’t the others love them? I can’t wait to share.” I realized how selfish I had been. I’d tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, honey, let’s pick some and I’ll show you how to prepare them. We’ll make the most wonderful supper.” 36. Why did the writer ask her children to do chores whenever they were in the garden? A. She didn’t want to do all the work on her own. B. She intended to show the hard labor of gardening. C. She didn’t want them to get hurt or get too tired. D. She was determined to keep the garden to herself. 37. What were the children like? ① loud ② lively ③ guilty ④ loving ⑤ strong A. ①②③④ B. ①②④ C. ①②③ D. ④⑤ 38. The underlined word “resent” probably means________. A. dislike B. expect C. keep D. sacrifice 39. What did the writer try to tell the readers with this story? A. The best way to communicate with children is by working together. B. The golden rule of gardening is that many hands make light work. C. Everything feels better when shared with your family or your friend. D. Parents should spend as much time with their children as possible. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者喜欢在自己的花园里独处，享受这份宁静祥和，可是孩子们很喜欢在花园里帮助作者干活，慢慢作者喜欢和孩子们一起在花园里干活，同时意识到自己的自私，认识到应该和家人一起分享园艺的乐趣。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective isolation in it. I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, I guarded this place of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would hand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water the onions.” Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over, and they would leave me to myself.(我的花园是我的避难所，我在里面找到了与世隔绝的感觉。我有七个孩子，所以我们家现在是一片混乱。很长一段时间，我守卫着这个宁静祥和的地方。当孩子们跟着我走进花园时，我会给他们分配任务。“在这里，你给豆子除草，给洋葱浇水”很快他们就会热起来，或者他们的背会因为弯腰而疼痛，最后他们就会留我一人在花园。)”可知，作者很爱在花园里独处，享受着宁静祥和，但是孩子们来到花园后，作者无法享受这份宁静，由此可以推断出，作者给孩子们分配任务，是因为等他们累了，他们就会离开花园，把作者一个人留在花园里，这样作者就能独立待在花园里，故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion.(我有七个孩子，所以我们家现在是一片混乱，非常热闹。)”可知，作者的孩子很吵闹，也很活泼，根据第二段中“My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping.(我13岁的儿子Josiah拿起一把备用铲子开始帮忙。)”和第三段中“Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster(每一次，我都会惊讶地发现，因为他们的帮助，工作变得更轻松，他们的笑声让时间过得更快)”可知，孩子们总是帮助作者，所以说他们很有爱心，由此可知，孩子们是吵闹，活泼和有爱心的，故选B。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段上文“Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster.(每一次，我都会惊讶地发现，因为他们的帮助，工作变得更轻松，他们的笑声让时间过得更快)”可知，有了孩子们的帮助，工作变得很轻松，笑声也让时间过得更快，这说明作者开始喜欢和孩子们在花园里一起工作，结合划线单词下文“instead I began to share my gardening secrets.(相反我开始分享我的园艺秘诀。)”可知，作者开始喜欢和孩子们在花园里一起工作，不再讨厌孩子们的陪伴，而且开始和孩子们一起分享自己的园艺秘密，由此可推知，划线单词“resent”和dislike(不喜欢)意思一样，故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“I realized how selfish I had been. I’d tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, honey, let’s pick some and I'll show you how to prepare them. We’ll make the most wonderful supper.”(我意识到自己有多自私。我一直想把园艺的乐趣留给自己，而这个孩子迫不及待地想和她的兄弟姐妹们分享。我忍住眼泪说“当然，亲爱的，我们摘一些，我教你怎么做。我们会做出最美味的晚餐”)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者喜欢在自己的花园里独处，享受这份宁静祥和，可是孩子们很喜欢在花园里帮助作者干活，慢慢作者喜欢和孩子们在花园里一起干活，同时意识到自己的自私，认识到应该和家人一起分享园艺的乐趣，由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了告诉读者，和你的家人或朋友分享，一切都会感觉更好。故选C。 (B) The best white noise machines for a good night’s sleep Sleep is crucial to health.

And it’s all because of technology. To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblings don’t quite get. These differences may appear slight, but they signal an all-encompassing sensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation. The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen of California State University that he has declared the birth of a new generation in a new book, Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbed the “iGeneration”. “The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it’s also a mindset, and the mindset goes with the little ‘I’, which I’m talking to stand for ‘individualized’,” Rosen says. “Everything is defined and individualized to ‘me’. My music choices are defined to ‘me’. What I watch on TV any instant is defined to ‘me’.” He says the iGeneration includes today’s teens and middle-schoolers, but it’s too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger. Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. “If they can think of it, somebody probably has or will invent it,” he says. “They expect innovation.” They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use “will be able to be tailored to their own needs and wishes and desires.” Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected — even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned. Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired differently. “They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do,” Rosen says. “But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development.” Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change significantly. “The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential (指数的), and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think,” Rosen says. “We have to give them options because they want their world individualized.” 43. Compared with their Millennial elders, the iGeneration kids ________. A. communicate with others by high-tech methods continually B. prefer to live a virtual life than a real one C. are equipped with more modem digital techniques D. know more on technology than their elders 44. Which of the following is true about the iGeneration according to Rosen? A. This generation is crazy about inventing and creating new things. B. Everything must be adapted to the peculiar need of the generation. C. This generation catches up with the development of technology. D. High-tech such as wireless devices goes with the generation. 45. Rosen’s findings suggest that technology ________. A. has an obvious effect on the function of iGeneration’s brain development B. has greatly affected the iGeneration’s behaviors and academic performance C. has no significantly negative effect on iGeneration’s mental and intellectual development D. has caused distraction problems on iGeneration which affect their daily performance. 46. According to the passage, education has to _________. A. adapt its system to the need of the new generation B. use more technologies to cater for the iGeneration C. risk its system to certain extent for the iGeneration D. be conducted online for iGeneration’s individualized need 【答案】43. A 44. D 45. C 46. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了专家指出技术使当下青少年形成新群体 “i一代”，他们追求持续互联与个性化，受技术影响大，这也倒逼教育体系做出相应变革。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblings don’t quite get.( 对于研究他们的心理学家、社会学家、代际和媒体专家来说，他们的数字设备使这个新群体与精通技术的千禧一代长辈区别开来。他们想要随时保持联系，以一种连他们的哥哥姐姐都不太理解的方式。)”以及第七段中“They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected — even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned.( 他们离不开无线设备，无线设备既能让他们发短信，也能让他们说话，所以他们可以一直保持联系——即使是在课堂上，据说手机是被禁止的。)”可知，与他们的千禧一代长辈相比，“i一代”的孩子不断地用高科技方法与他人交流。故选A项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中Rosen的表述“The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it’s also a mindset, and the mindset goes with the little ‘I’, which I’m talking to stand for ‘individualized’(科技是最容易看到这一点的方式，但它也是一种思维模式，这种思维模式与小写的‘我’相伴，我说的‘我’代表‘个性化’)”以及第七段中的“Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices(罗森说便携性是关键。他们与无线设备形影不离)”可知，无线设备等高科技与这一代人相伴相生。故选D项。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第八段中““They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do,” Rosen says. “But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development.”(罗森说：“他们应该分心，应该表现得比现在更糟糕。”“但研究结果表明，青少年比我们根据他们的年龄和大脑发育所预测的更能承受干扰。”)”可知，罗森的发现表明技术对一代人的心理和智力发展没有显著的负面影响。故选C项。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第九段“Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change significantly.( 罗森说，因为这些孩子更容易沉浸其中，而且年龄更小，所以教育系统必须做出重大改变。)”以及最后一段““We have to give them options because they want their world individualized.”(“我们必须给他们选择，因为他们希望自己的世界个性化。”)”可推知，根据文章，教育必须使其系统适应新一代的需要。故选A项。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Human beings are social creatures. We build bonds, cultivate friendships, and nurture family ties in hopes of finding love, support, and understanding. Ideally, these relationships become safe havens where we can share our deepest thoughts, worries, and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment. ____47____ Why is this the case? Why would we share our fears with a therapist, a fellow traveler on a train, or even an anonymous voice on the internet rather than with our spouse, sibling, or best friend? The answer lies in the intricate interplay between psychology, social expectations, and human emotion. There’s something you’ve been dying to get off your chest but you don’t want to live in the reality of a world where this secret is not. If you share it with a stranger, you release the tension and still keep your personal world away from it. ____48____ You’ll literally tell them anything in the world. This uncertainty between us ushers in a certain ease; the judgement of strangers matters little because it’s unlikely one will cross paths with them again. The absence of attachment we feel towards a stranger during our interactions, coupled with the fact that there are hardly any repercussions (恶果), lead to a sense of relative safety, encouraging emotional expression and disclosure. ____49____ Our interactions with strangers lack the baggage of these dynamics. When talking to strangers, however, one can share highly personal information without damaging their reputation within one’s social circle. The spouse is a friend, often a co-parent, also a lover, and hopefully, an advocate of our work. Our parents have your entire life’s history in their head and friends are familiar with which the person what we should to be. When we need comfort, we’re unsure which of their roles these people might play- and wary that it might be a role that gives us something other than the unconditional support we’re looking for in the moment. So, we confide in someone else altogether. Conversations with strangers, on the contrary, can thus allow us to reexamine our lives through a new lens. Strangers offer the unique advantage of providing fresh perspectives and objective viewpoints, offering unbiased advice and impartial opinions. ____50____ That is one of the reasons that we can find solace in the validation and support offered by strangers, which they were otherwise denied by the people in their lives. Moreover, we don’t necessarily have to worry about bookending everything we say with social niceties. This also increases the appeal of the advice we might receive from strangers in return: they can be blunt in their takes because they too don’t have to worry about the way we might feel about their responses. A. Yet, paradoxically, many of us discover that it is sometimes easier to confide in a stranger than in someone close to us. B. Sometimes we choose not to open our hearts to family or friends, not because we don’t trust them, but because we fear burdening them or altering the relationship. C. They allow us to get out of our heads and break up that negative self-focus, and prevent the train of negative circular thinking. D. Social connections built over time come with assumptions, judgments, and expectations, which can inhibit individuals from fully expressing themselves. E. Perhaps the paradox of intimacy is that the closer we are to someone, the easier it becomes to take them for granted. F. When you know you won’t see the person again, you’re a little too comfortable. 【答案】47. A 48. F 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了一个有趣的心理现象——人们有时更容易向陌生人倾诉内心想法，而非亲近的人，并从心理学、社会期待和人类情感等角度分析了背后的原因。 【47题详解】 根据上文“Ideally, these relationships become safe havens where we can share our deepest thoughts, worries, and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment.(理想情况下，这些关系会成为安全的港湾，让我们可以毫无顾忌地分享内心深处的想法、忧虑和脆弱)”以及下文“Why is this the case? Why would we share our fears with a therapist, a fellow traveler on a train, or even an anonymous voice on the internet rather than with our spouse, sibling, or best friend?(为什么会这样？为什么我们会向心理咨询师、火车上的同行旅客，甚至是网络上的陌生网友倾诉恐惧，却不愿告诉配偶、兄弟姐妹或最好的朋友)”可知，此空需要起到转折作用，引出“人们更易对陌生人倾诉”这一核心现象。A选项“Yet, paradoxically, many of us discover that it is sometimes easier to confide in a stranger than in someone close to us.(然而，矛盾的是，我们很多人发现，有时候向陌生人倾诉比向亲近的人倾诉更容易)”以“Yet”转折前文对亲密关系的期待，同时精准呼应下文的提问，符合语境。故选A项。 【48题详解】 根据上文“If you share it with a stranger, you release the tension and still keep your personal world away from it.(如果你把秘密告诉陌生人，既能释放压力，又不会让自己的私人生活受到影响)”以及下文“You’ll literally tell them anything in the world. This uncertainty between us ushers in a certain ease; the judgement of strangers matters little because it’s unlikely one will cross paths with them again.(你几乎会把世界上的所有事都告诉他们。这种彼此间的陌生感带来了一种轻松感；陌生人的评价无关紧要，因为你们很可能不会再见面)”可知，此空需要承接前文，解释向陌生人倾诉时的心理状态。F选项“When you know you won’t see the person again, you’re a little too comfortable.(当你知道不会再见到这个人时，你会感到格外放松)”中的“won’t see the person again”与下文的“unlikely one will cross paths with them again”相呼应，且点明了这种放松感的来源，符合语境。故选F项。 【49题详解】 根据下文“Our interactions with strangers lack the baggage of these dynamics. When talking to strangers, however, one can share highly personal information without damaging their reputation within one’s social circle.(我们与陌生人的交往则没有这些复杂的羁绊。然而，和陌生人交谈时，人们可以分享高度私密的信息，而不会损害自己在社交圈中的声誉）”可知，此空需要介绍与亲近的人交往时存在的“羁绊”，与下文形成对比。D选项“Social connections built over time come with assumptions, judgments, and expectations, which can inhibit individuals from fully expressing themselves.(长期建立的社会关系会伴随着各种预设、评判和期待，这些都会阻碍人们充分表达自己)”中的“assumptions, judgments, and expectations”正是下文提到的“baggage of these dynamics”，且与陌生人交往的无羁绊状态形成鲜明对比，符合语境。故选D项。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Strangers offer the unique advantage of providing fresh perspectives and objective viewpoints, offering unbiased advice and impartial opinions.(陌生人有着独特的优势，他们能提供全新的视角和客观的看法，给出不偏不倚的建议和评价)”以及下文“That is one of the reasons that we can find solace in the validation and support offered by strangers, which they were otherwise denied by the people in their lives.(这也是我们能从陌生人的认可和支持中获得慰藉的原因之一，而这些往往是我们无法从身边人那里得到的)”可知，此空需要承接前文，说明陌生人的客观建议能带来的具体积极作用。C选项“They allow us to get out of our heads and break up that negative self-focus, and prevent the train of negative circular thinking.(它们能让我们跳出固有的思维模式，打破消极的自我关注，避免陷入消极的循环思考)”中的“They”指代前文的“fresh perspectives and objective viewpoints”，且阐述了这些观点的积极影响，衔接下文的“find solace”，符合语境。故选C项。 IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Most people experience the natural feeling of jealousy at some point in their lives. Some people feel it more strongly than others and some even suffer from the feeling to the extent that jealousy starts consuming them. In some cases the feeling is justified but in others it is not. Frankly speaking, jealousy is a poisonous emotion, both for the person experiencing it and for their families and friends. Jealousy is usually considered as a single, independent emotion, but in reality, it is a whole bundle of feelings that interconnect with each other such as anger, fear, hurt, anxiety, sadness, depression, loneliness, envy, feeling powerless, feeling excluded and so on. For the most part, jealousy is a by-product of one’s own problems with self-confidence and self-respect. It is about a deep fear of the unknown fear of being abandoned and of losing power or control over their families or friends, and also the fear that the needs will not be met. Jealous people often feel very insecure and anxious about their worthiness, feeling that they might not be good enough. Jealousy can also easily become an obsession with people. Someone who is being consumed by jealousy constantly draws in mind pictures and imagines situations where their families or friends are betraying them. As a result, they always manage to convince themselves that their families or friends have done something not proper. These endless suspicions are poisonous and can be extremely harmful to any relationship. So, how is it possible to prevent these ugly thoughts from appearing and from flooding one’s mind at all? The best thing to start with is to start sharing your feelings with your families or friends. It is important to tell them openly that you love them. You may also want to explain that because they are so important to you, you are feeling jealous and insecure. In addition, never feel in a negative way about yourself and certainly do not talk negatively about yourself. Self-confidence is respected by others and if you are always able to think positively when negative feelings start invading you, a habit of doing so will be eventually developed in you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Jealousy is a common but poisonous emotion, which is actually a mix of interconnected feelings like anger, fear and sadness. It mainly arises from low self-confidence and the fear of being abandoned or losing control. It can turn into obsession, causing suspicion and damaging relationships. To address it, share feelings with loved ones and foster positive self-confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了嫉妒这一常见情绪的本质，指出其是多种交织情感的集合，源于自信心与自尊的缺失及相关恐惧心理，还会发展为执念破坏人际关系；同时给出应对方法，即与亲友倾诉感受并建立积极的自信心。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①Most people experience the natural feeling of jealousy at some point in their lives. ②Frankly speaking, jealousy is a poisonous emotion, both for the person experiencing it and for their families and friends. ③in reality, it is a whole bundle of feelings that interconnect with each other such as anger, fear, hurt, anxiety, sadness, depression, loneliness, envy, feeling powerless, feeling excluded and so on. ④For the most part, jealousy is a by-product of one’s own problems with self-confidence and self-respect. ⑤Jealousy can also easily become an obsession with people. ⑥These endless suspicions are poisonous and can be extremely harmful to any relationship. ⑦The best thing to start with is to start sharing your feelings with your families or friends. ⑧never feel in a negative way about yourself and certainly do not talk negatively about yourself. 2. 缜密构思： 以①②点总起，点明嫉妒的普遍性与危害性；以③点说明嫉妒的本质是多种交织的情感；整合④点，指出嫉妒源于自信心和自尊的缺失及相关恐惧；以⑤⑥点表明嫉妒会发展为执念，滋生猜疑并破坏人际关系；最后整合⑦⑧点，给出应对嫉妒的具体方法。 3.遣词造句 Jealousy is a common but harmful emotion, which is actually a mix of interconnected feelings like anger, fear and sadness.

Jane Goodall, Who Chronicled (详实记载) the Social Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91 By Keith Schneider, The New York Times, Published Oct. 1,2025 Her discoveries as a primatologist in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behave in the wild were hailed as “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements”. Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, who earned scientific stature and global celebrity by chronicling the distinctive behavior of wild chimpanzees in East Africa—primates ____1____ made and used tools, ate meat, held rain dances and engaged in organized warfare—died on Wednesday in Los Angeles. She was 91. Her death, ____2____ she was on a speaking tour, was confirmed by the Jane Goodall Institute, ____3____ U.S. headquarters are in Washington, D.C. When not traveling widely, she lived in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England, in her childhood home. Dr. Goodall was 29 in the summer of 1963 when National Geographic magazine published her 7,500-word, 37-page account of the lives of primates she ____4____ (observe) in the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in what is now Tanzania. On the scientific merits alone, her discoveries about how wild chimpanzees raised their young, established leadership, socialized and communicated _______5_______ (break) new ground and attracted immense attention and respect among researchers. Stephen Jay Gould, the evolutionary biologist and science historian, said her work with chimpanzees “represents one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” On learning of Dr. Goodall’s documented evidence ____6____ humans were not the only creatures capable of making and using tools, Louis Leakey, the paleoanthropologist and Dr. Goodall’s mentor, famously remarked, “Now we ____7____ redefine ‘tool,’ redefine ‘man,’ or accept chimpanzees as humans.” In articles and books, her lucid (易懂的) prose carried vivid descriptions, some lighthearted, of the numerous perils she encountered in the African rainforest-malaria, leopards, crocodiles, spitting cobras and deadly giant centipedes, to name a few. Her writing gained its ____8____ (wide) attention in three more long articles in National Geographic in the 1960s and 70s and in three well-received books, “My Friends, the Wild Chimpanzees” (1967), “In the Shadow of Man” and “Through a Window” (1990). Dr. Goodall’s willingness to challenge scientific convention and shape the details of her research ____9____ a riveting (吸引人的) adventure narrative about two primary subjects-the chimps and herself-turned her into a household name, in no small part thanks to the power of television. In December 1965, CBS News aired a documentary of her work in prime time, the first in a long string of nationally and internationally televised special reports about the chimpanzees of Gombe and the courageous woman steadfastly chronicling _____10_____ she called their “rich emotional life.” Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Starting in Glasgow, traveling north through historic villages and ending in the coastal village of Mallaig, this line is an easy and sustainable way to discover the Scottish Highlands. My journey on this scenic train route started rather ____11____. The 08:12 train required me to begin my day alongside thousands of passengers ____12____ into Queen Street Station — many of whom held coffees and kept their eyes cast down ahead of another day in the office. And I was almost the only one traveling against the ____13____. All of a sudden, we were in the southern reaches of the Highlands, where all was mirrored lakes and valleys ____14____ with Scots pine. Morning mist rolled between hills, hiding and then ____15____ more of this perfect landscape. The dying days of autumn were exceedingly beautiful and we were just an hour into the journey. Passengers’ phones and noses were ____16____ to windows. Some urgently tried to post their experience in real time to social media, but the Wi-Fi signal was weak in the mountains and I didn’t want to miss the extraordinary landscape. An indisputable highlight along this section is the Glenfinnan Viaduct (高架桥), which staff took time to announce in a small break. Fans of the Harry Potter films often lose their minds at this ____17____ of the 120-year-old line-the Hogwarts Express passes over this old viaduct in several of the movies. And I could easily see why it’s simply breathtaking to behold and attracts visitors from across the globe. It’s the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland and spans about a thousand feet over the River Finnan around one hundred feet above the ground, passing through some of the most atmospheric and ____18____ scenery. By the time we left Mallaig at 16: 05, the mid — November daylight was already ____19____, meaning my long journey back to Glasgow happened almost _______20_______ in the dark. Not much was visible through the window as we started chugging south, but even in the blackness, I knew there was magic out there somewhere.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The Moon meant a great deal to medieval (中世纪的) people around the world. It was believed to have an enormous impact on Earth, affecting the tides, the trees, animals and human minds and bodies. But it also had many symbolic associations, whether in the realms of love, ____21____ or religion—as I explore in my new book, The Medieval Moon: A History of Haunting and Blessing. In fact, I suggest we can talk about medieval moons in the plural, because the Moon was seen in such a wide variety of contexts and guises. The book travels across multiple regions and cultures to seek these medieval moons, ____22____ Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Mayan, Norse, Persian, Polynesian and Welsh traditions, among others. In many ways, the Moon was like a riddle for medieval people. As a symbol, it did not have an easily decipherable (可解读的) meaning, which encouraged viewers to read it in playful ways. ____23____, many Old English and Old Norse riddles appropriately have the ____24____ “Moon”. The Moon was also seen as place of travel and ____25____. Japanese, Italian, English, German and Dutch sources all testify to stories of travel to and from the Moon, long before the age of ____26____ space travel. The Moon was also ____27____ in many kinds of prophetic activity. In the ____28____ of the period, sorcerers (巫师) and kings studied the Moon to find out about the future.

In medieval Christian and Islamic sources, the Moon could ____30____ everything from the Islamic Prophet Muhammad to the Christian Church as an ____31____. Despite this freight of negative meanings, the Moon was also ____32____ with love. Medieval Sufis — ____33____ known as Islamic mystics-wrote of “moon beauties”.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective isolation in it. I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, I guarded this place of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would hand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water the onions.” Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over, and they would leave me to myself. Then one day, I was trying to prepare the soil, and I honestly wasn’t enjoying my time of peace and loneliness. My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Working as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in no time at all. I thanked Josiah, realizing that l had enjoyed his company. The same thing happened with picking up rocks and planting the seeds —one or two of the children would appear to watch and then participate. Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. So I stopped resenting their company and instead I began to share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real work began, I expected the children to disappear, but no, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking for insects. One day I slipped out by myself to the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicion that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked along the row, a little voice piped up behind me. “What are you eating, Mama?” Abby’s big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull the strings off and pop (剥出) the peas into her mouth. She just loved how tasty they were. Then my sweet seven-year-old girl put me to shame. “Mama, I’ve got to pick a bunch. Won’t the others love them? I can’t wait to share.” I realized how selfish I had been. I’d tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, honey, let’s pick some and I’ll show you how to prepare them. We’ll make the most wonderful supper.” 36.

(C) They’re still kids, and although there’s a lot that the experts don’t yet know about them, one thing they do agree on is that what kids use and expect from their world has changed rapidly. And it’s all because of technology. To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblings don’t quite get. These differences may appear slight, but they signal an all-encompassing sensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation. The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen of California State University that he has declared the birth of a new generation in a new book, Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbed the “iGeneration”. “The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it’s also a mindset, and the mindset goes with the little ‘I’, which I’m talking to stand for ‘individualized’,” Rosen says. “Everything is defined and individualized to ‘me’. My music choices are defined to ‘me’. What I watch on TV any instant is defined to ‘me’.” He says the iGeneration includes today’s teens and middle-schoolers, but it’s too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger. Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. “If they can think of it, somebody probably has or will invent it,” he says. “They expect innovation.” They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use “will be able to be tailored to their own needs and wishes and desires.” Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected — even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned. Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired differently. “They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do,” Rosen says. “But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development.” Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change significantly. “The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential (指数的), and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think,” Rosen says. “We have to give them options because they want their world individualized.” 43. Compared with their Millennial elders, the iGeneration kids ________. A. communicate with others by high-tech methods continually B. prefer to live a virtual life than a real one C. are equipped with more modem digital techniques D. know more on technology than their elders 44. Which of the following is true about the iGeneration according to Rosen? A. This generation is crazy about inventing and creating new things. B. Everything must be adapted to the peculiar need of the generation. C. This generation catches up with the development of technology. D. High-tech such as wireless devices goes with the generation. 45. Rosen’s findings suggest that technology ________. A. has an obvious effect on the function of iGeneration’s brain development B. has greatly affected the iGeneration’s behaviors and academic performance C. has no significantly negative effect on iGeneration’s mental and intellectual development D. has caused distraction problems on iGeneration which affect their daily performance. 46. According to the passage, education has to _________. A. adapt its system to the need of the new generation B. use more technologies to cater for the iGeneration C. risk its system to certain extent for the iGeneration D. be conducted online for iGeneration’s individualized need Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Human beings are social creatures. We build bonds, cultivate friendships, and nurture family ties in hopes of finding love, support, and understanding. Ideally, these relationships become safe havens where we can share our deepest thoughts, worries, and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment. ____47____ Why is this the case? Why would we share our fears with a therapist, a fellow traveler on a train, or even an anonymous voice on the internet rather than with our spouse, sibling, or best friend? The answer lies in the intricate interplay between psychology, social expectations, and human emotion. There’s something you’ve been dying to get off your chest but you don’t want to live in the reality of a world where this secret is not. If you share it with a stranger, you release the tension and still keep your personal world away from it. ____48____ You’ll literally tell them anything in the world. This uncertainty between us ushers in a certain ease; the judgement of strangers matters little because it’s unlikely one will cross paths with them again. The absence of attachment we feel towards a stranger during our interactions, coupled with the fact that there are hardly any repercussions (恶果), lead to a sense of relative safety, encouraging emotional expression and disclosure. ____49____ Our interactions with strangers lack the baggage of these dynamics. When talking to strangers, however, one can share highly personal information without damaging their reputation within one’s social circle. The spouse is a friend, often a co-parent, also a lover, and hopefully, an advocate of our work. Our parents have your entire life’s history in their head and friends are familiar with which the person what we should to be. When we need comfort, we’re unsure which of their roles these people might play- and wary that it might be a role that gives us something other than the unconditional support we’re looking for in the moment. So, we confide in someone else altogether. Conversations with strangers, on the contrary, can thus allow us to reexamine our lives through a new lens. Strangers offer the unique advantage of providing fresh perspectives and objective viewpoints, offering unbiased advice and impartial opinions. ____50____ That is one of the reasons that we can find solace in the validation and support offered by strangers, which they were otherwise denied by the people in their lives. Moreover, we don’t necessarily have to worry about bookending everything we say with social niceties. This also increases the appeal of the advice we might receive from strangers in return: they can be blunt in their takes because they too don’t have to worry about the way we might feel about their responses. A. Yet, paradoxically, many of us discover that it is sometimes easier to confide in a stranger than in someone close to us. B. Sometimes we choose not to open our hearts to family or friends, not because we don’t trust them, but because we fear burdening them or altering the relationship. C. They allow us to get out of our heads and break up that negative self-focus, and prevent the train of negative circular thinking. D. Social connections built over time come with assumptions, judgments, and expectations, which can inhibit individuals from fully expressing themselves. E. Perhaps the paradox of intimacy is that the closer we are to someone, the easier it becomes to take them for granted. F. When you know you won’t see the person again, you’re a little too comfortable. IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Most people experience the natural feeling of jealousy at some point in their lives. Some people feel it more strongly than others and some even suffer from the feeling to the extent that jealousy starts consuming them. In some cases the feeling is justified but in others it is not. Frankly speaking, jealousy is a poisonous emotion, both for the person experiencing it and for their families and friends. Jealousy is usually considered as a single, independent emotion, but in reality, it is a whole bundle of feelings that interconnect with each other such as anger, fear, hurt, anxiety, sadness, depression, loneliness, envy, feeling powerless, feeling excluded and so on. For the most part, jealousy is a by-product of one’s own problems with self-confidence and self-respect. It is about a deep fear of the unknown fear of being abandoned and of losing power or control over their families or friends, and also the fear that the needs will not be met. Jealous people often feel very insecure and anxious about their worthiness, feeling that they might not be good enough. Jealousy can also easily become an obsession with people. Someone who is being consumed by jealousy constantly draws in mind pictures and imagines situations where their families or friends are betraying them. As a result, they always manage to convince themselves that their families or friends have done something not proper. These endless suspicions are poisonous and can be extremely harmful to any relationship. So, how is it possible to prevent these ugly thoughts from appearing and from flooding one’s mind at all? The best thing to start with is to start sharing your feelings with your families or friends. It is important to tell them openly that you love them. You may also want to explain that because they are so important to you, you are feeling jealous and insecure. In addition, never feel in a negative way about yourself and certainly do not talk negatively about yourself. Self-confidence is respected by others and if you are always able to think positively when negative feelings start invading you, a habit of doing so will be eventually developed in you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
