The new exam combines the advantages of the original HSK while taking into consideration recent trends in Chinese language training. The new HSK is an international standardized exam that tests and rates Chinese language proficiency (水平). It assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily, academic and professional lives. Ⅰ. Test Levels The levels of the new HSK correspond to the levels of the Chinese Language Proficiency Scales for Speakers of Other Languages (CLPS) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF) as follows: New HSK Vocabulary CLPS CEF HSK (Level Ⅵ) Over 5,000 Level Ⅴ C2 HSK (Level Ⅴ) 2,500 C1 HSK (Level Ⅳ) 1,200 Level Ⅳ B2 HSK (Level Ⅲ) 600 Level Ⅲ B1 HSK (Level Ⅱ) 300 Level Ⅱ A2 HSK (Level Ⅰ) 150 Level Ⅰ A1 Test takers who are able to pass the HSK (Level Ⅰ) can understand and use very simple Chinese words and phrases, meet basic needs for communication and possess the ability to further their Chinese language studies. Ⅱ. Test Principles The new HSK follows the principle of “test-teaching correlation”, bases the design of the test on the current trends in international Chinese language training, and is closely related to textbooks. The purpose of the test is to “promote training through testing” and “promote learning through testing”. Ⅲ. Results Certificate Test takers will receive the results for the new HSK issued by Hanban within one month after the test. The HSK certificate has permanent validity, whereas the accompanying test report will only be valid (有效的) for two years (beginning from the date of the test session) as certification for foreign students to enter a college or university in China. 11. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The HSK has been newly reformed. B. The HSK remains unchanged for years. C. The HSK is targeted at all Chinese learners. D. The HSK is a standardized test held in China. 12. What is the HSK (Level Ⅵ) similar to? A. C1 (CEF). B. C2 (CEF). C. Level Ⅲ (CLPS). D. Level Ⅳ (CLPS). 13. What do we learn about the new HSK? A. It consists of seven levels. B. Its test report will be valid for ever. C. Its certificate will be valid for two years. D. Its results will be announced within one month. B Year of Giving Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December IS as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me. I had a rattier busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards. After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first $10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves! 14. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ________ . A. help the charity B. make an exploration C. remember his mother D. fulfill the wish of his mum 15. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ________ . A. he was considered silly B. be hesitated for a long time C. he was forced to donate the money D. he had no time to take action 16. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ________ . A. he didn’t need others’ help B. he thought more for others C. he didn’t care about money D. he wanted to get more money 17. We can infer that the author was inspired by ________ . A. true friendship B. his own kindness C. generous donations D. human’s good nature C “Inspector Sands to the control room, please.” If you ever hear that at a British train station, don’t panic. But you might appreciate knowing that this is a codeword meant to inform staff that there is an emergency somewhere in the building. The idea is to avoid causing alarm among commuters (通勤者), but still get the message out to those trained to deal with the problem. The subject of secret codewords like this was raised this week on Reddit, and the discussion has attracted thousands of examples. But what codewords and signs are really out there in the wild? A good place to start is hospital emergency codes. These are often colour-coded, and one health centre in Canada has published its list online. “Code red” announces a fire, “code white” indicates a violent person while “code black” means a bomb threat is active. It’s been reported that hospital staff sometimes refer to the morgue as “Rose Cottage”, in order to avoid upsetting relatives of a patient who has recently died. “I can see very good reasons for having these codes,” says Paul Baker, a linguist at the University of Lancaster. “It may be that people are unsure when they’re giving the code so there’s no point upsetting members of the public.” Not all codes are alphanumeric (字母数字的). Some are visual, intended to be hidden in plain sight. As BBC Future discovered earlier this year, many banknotes feature a specific pattern of dots placed there to prevent people from photocopying money. Many copiers and scanners are programmed to spot it. And finally, the spray-painted squiggles (波形曲线) you see on pavements in towns and cities all over the world are codes understood by construction workers and engineers. For example, in UK, different colours are related to different types of cable or pipe. Blue meant a water system while yellow indicated gas lines and green labelled CCTV or data wiring. All of these codes have a purpose — to avoid causing panic, to transmit subtle signals in social groups, or to provide technical information quickly and easily. “People don’t like secrets, do they?” says Baker. “There is a drive to have as much information as possible — we do live in the information age,” he adds. 18. The following are purposes of the secret codes except ________. A. to avoid causing alarm and panic among the public. B. to send sensitive signals in social groups. C. to provide technical information quickly and easily. D. to make people believe you are wiser. 19. The underlined word “morgue” in paragraph 3 refers to the room in a hospital ______. A. where patients are treated B. where dead bodies are kept C. where a patient has an operation D. where a surgeon cuts open the patients’ bodies 20. How many kinds of secret codes are mentioned in the passage? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 21. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. The secret codes you are not meant to know B. Where to find the codes C. The origin of different codes D. Codes in the modern society D Universities have boomed in recent decades. In theory, universities should be an excellent source of productivity growth. In practice, however, the great expansion of higher education has coincided with a productivity slowdown. A new paper by Ashish Arora and his colleagues, suggests that universities’ rapid growth and the rich world’s stagnant productivity could be two sides of the same coin. The new paper makes a subtle but devastating suggestion: that when it came to delivering productivity gains the old, big-business model of science worked better than the new, university-led one. Broadly, they find that scientific breakthroughs from public institutions “elicit little or no response from established corporations” over a number of years. A researcher in a university lab might publish brilliant papers after brilliant paper, pushing the front of a discipline. Often, however, this has no impact on corporations’ own publications, their patents or the number of scientists that they employ. And this, in turn, points to a small impact on economy-wide productivity. Why do companies struggle to use ideas produced by universities? The loss of the corporate lab is one part of the answer. Such institutions were home to a lively mixture of thinkers and doers. In the 1940s Bell Labs had the interdisciplinary team of chemists, metallurgists and physicists necessary to solve the overlapping theoretical and practical problems associated with developing the transistor. That cross-cutting expertise is now largely gone. Another part of the answer concerns universities. Free from the demands of corporate overloads, research focuses more on satisfying geeks’ curiosity or boosting citation counts than on finding breakthroughs that will change the world or make money. In moderation, research for research’s sake is no bad thing; some breakthrough technologies, such as penicillin, were discovered almost by accident. But if everyone is arguing over how many angels dance on the head of a pin, the economy suffers. When higher-education institutions do produce work that is more relevant to the real world, the consequences are troubling. As universities produce more fresh PhD graduates, companies seem to find it easier to invent new stuff. Yet universities’ patents have an offsetting effect, provoking corporations to produce fewer patents themselves. It is possible that existing businesses, worried about competition from university spinoffs, cut back on research and development (R&D) in that field. Although no one knows for sure how these opposing effects balance out, the authors point to a net decline in corporate patenting of about 1.5% a year. The vast fiscal resources devoted to public science, in other words, probably make businesses across the rich world less innovative. Perhaps with time, universities and the corporate sector will work together more profitably. And corporate researchers, rather than universities, are driving the current generative AI innovation boom: in a few cases, the corporate lab has already risen from the ashes. At some point, though, governments will need to ask themselves hard questions. In a world of weak economic growth, generous public support for universities may come to seem an unjustifiable luxury. 22. According to the text, Arora and his colleagues find that ________. A. universities have long been an important source of productivity growth B. universities’ scientific outputs don’t really impact established corporations C. university-led model of science is delivering fewer scientific breakthroughs D. big businesses are slow to absorb innovative ideas produced by universities 23. Bell Labs are mentioned in the text to ________. A honor their key contributions to scientific development B. highlight a successful corporate-university partnership C. indicate the essential components of successful corporate labs D. mourn the bygone days of multidisciplinary corporate research 24. What does the word “offsetting” probably mean? A. weakening B. boosting C. stabilizing D. disrupting 25. Which of the following statements will the author most likely agree with? A. Universities should expand their collaboration with corporations. B Universities should play a bigger role in developing generative AI. C. The government should put in effort to revive corporate labs. D. The government should reduce public support for universities. E How to Focus Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus-filled game plan before you set out to accomplish a task. ____26____ 1. Build up your focus stamina (耐力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina” but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task. ____27____ It may be just another five minutes or another half hour. 2. Meditate(沉思). Meditating is more than a great way to relax. ____28____ When you meditate, you’ll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you. 3. Read more. ____29____ Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to reading for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work. 4. Multi-task less. ____30____ However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multi-task, you’re not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you will see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while, getting work done is one of the worst forms of multi-tasking. Chatting with a friend can slow your productivity down by half. A. Reading is a great way to build up your focus. B. If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps! C. Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day. D. When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping. E. Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly. F. Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on Facebook? G. If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus. 四、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Ever since I was a boy, I have been an active reader and dreamed to be a writer.

The new exam combines the advantages of the original HSK while taking into consideration recent trends in Chinese language training. The new HSK is an international standardized exam that tests and rates Chinese language proficiency (水平). It assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily academic and professional lives. Ⅰ. Test Levels The levels of the new HSK correspond to the levels of the Chinese Language Proficiency Scales for Speakers of Other Languages (CLPS) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF) as follows: New HSK Vocabulary CLPS CEF HSK (Level Ⅵ) Over 5,000 Level Ⅴ C2 HSK (Level Ⅴ) 2,500 C1 HSK (Level Ⅳ) 1,200 Level Ⅳ B2 HSK (Level Ⅲ) 600 Level Ⅲ B1 HSK (Level Ⅱ) 300 Level Ⅱ A2 HSK (Level Ⅰ) 150 Level Ⅰ A1 Test takers who are able to pass the HSK (Level Ⅰ) can understand and use very simple Chinese words and phrases, meet basic needs for communication and possess the ability to further their Chinese language studies. Ⅱ. Test Principles The new HSK follows the principle of “test-teaching correlation”, bases the design of the test on the current trends in international Chinese language training, and is closely related to textbooks. The purpose of the test is to “promote training through testing” and “promote learning through testing”. Ⅲ. Results Certificate Test takers will receive the results for the new HSK issued by Hanban within one month after the test. The HSK certificate has permanent validity, whereas the accompanying test report will only be valid (有效的) for two years (beginning from the date of the test session) as certification for foreign students to enter a college or university in China. 11. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The HSK has been newly reformed. B. The HSK remains unchanged for years. C. The HSK is targeted at all Chinese learners. D. The HSK is a standardized test held in China. 12. What is the HSK (Level Ⅵ) similar to? A. C1 (CEF). B. C2 (CEF). C. Level Ⅲ (CLPS). D. Level Ⅳ (CLPS). 13. What do we learn about the new HSK? A. It consists of seven levels. B. Its test report will be valid for ever. C. Its certificate will be valid for two years. D. Its results will be announced within one month. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。HSK指汉语水平考试（简称 HSK），它是为测试母语非汉语者的汉语水平而设立的一项国际汉语能力标准化考试，文章介绍了HSK的一些相关信息。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The new HSK test was launched by Hanban in an effort to better serve Chinese language learners. The new exam combines the advantages of the original HSK while taking into consideration recent trends in Chinese language training.(为了更好地服务汉语学习者，国家汉办推出了新的HSK考试。新考试结合了原HSK的优点，同时考虑了汉语培训的最新趋势。)”和第二段“The new HSK is an international standardized exam that tests and rates Chinese language proficiency (水平). It assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily, academic and professional lives.(新HSK是一项测试和评估汉语能力的国际标准化考试。它评估非汉语母语人士在日常、学术和职业生活中使用汉语的能力。)”可知，HSK是针对母语非汉语者的一项国际汉语能力标准化考试，它最近刚刚完成了改革。故选A项。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中表格信息可知，HSK (Level Ⅵ)对应的是等级C2(CEF)和Level Ⅴ(CLPS)。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中表格信息可知，新HSK共包含六个等级，根据倒数第二段“Test takers will receive the results for the new HSK issued by Hanban within one month after the test.(考生将在考试后一个月内收到国家汉办发布的新HSK成绩。)”可知，新HSK的结果将在一个月内公布，根据最后一段“The HSK certificate has permanent validity, whereas the accompanying test report will only be valid (有效的) for two years (beginning from the date of the test session) as certification for foreign students to enter a college or university in China.(HSK证书是永久有效的，而随附的考试报告作为外国留学生进入中国高校的证明，有效期为两年(自考试日期起)。)”可知，HSK证书永久有效，但成绩报告单只在两年内有效。由此可知，D项“它的结果将在一个月内公布。”说法正确，符合题意。故选D项。 B Year of Giving Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December IS as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me. I had a rattier busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards. After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first $10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves! 14. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ________ . A. help the charity B. make an exploration C. remember his mother D. fulfill the wish of his mum 15. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ________ . A. he was considered silly B. be hesitated for a long time C. he was forced to donate the money D. he had no time to take action 16. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ________ . A. he didn’t need others’ help B. he thought more for others C. he didn’t care about money D. he wanted to get more money 17. We can infer that the author was inspired by ________ . A. true friendship B. his own kindness C. generous donations D. human’s good nature 【答案】14. C 15. A 16. B 17. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了从昨天开始，作者开始了予人玫瑰的一年，选择日期12月15日开始，这是因为三年前在这一天母亲死于心脏病，母亲十分乐于助人，作者决定把她的精神传承下去。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease.(我选择12月15日作为开始日期，这是我母亲死于心脏病3年的日子)”可知，作者选择这个日子是为了纪念他的母亲。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I would like to know if I could give you $10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.(“我想知道我能不能给你10美元?” 他要我重复我说过的话。 我问了，然后他奇怪地看了我一眼，站起来走了)”可知，在作者第一次尝试捐钱的时候 ，他被认为是可笑的。故选A。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him.(那位先生，我后来才知道他的名字叫艾德，毫不犹豫地回答说他不能接受我的提议，还有很多人比他更应该得到这笔钱)”可知，在作者的第二次尝试中，绅士拒绝了他的提议，因为他更多地为别人着想 。故选B。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!( 这正是我希望发生的事情之一。人们会先为别人着想，再为自己着想！)”可知，作者被人类本性中的善良激励了。故选D。 C “Inspector Sands to the control room, please.” If you ever hear that at a British train station, don’t panic. But you might appreciate knowing that this is a codeword meant to inform staff that there is an emergency somewhere in the building. The idea is to avoid causing alarm among commuters (通勤者), but still get the message out to those trained to deal with the problem. The subject of secret codewords like this was raised this week on Reddit, and the discussion has attracted thousands of examples. But what codewords and signs are really out there in the wild? A good place to start is hospital emergency codes. These are often colour-coded, and one health centre in Canada has published its list online. “Code red” announces a fire, “code white” indicates a violent person while “code black” means a bomb threat is active. It’s been reported that hospital staff sometimes refer to the morgue as “Rose Cottage”, in order to avoid upsetting relatives of a patient who has recently died. “I can see very good reasons for having these codes,” says Paul Baker, a linguist at the University of Lancaster. “It may be that people are unsure when they’re giving the code so there’s no point upsetting members of the public.” Not all codes are alphanumeric (字母数字的). Some are visual, intended to be hidden in plain sight. As BBC Future discovered earlier this year, many banknotes feature a specific pattern of dots placed there to prevent people from photocopying money. Many copiers and scanners are programmed to spot it. And finally, the spray-painted squiggles (波形曲线) you see on pavements in towns and cities all over the world are codes understood by construction workers and engineers. For example, in UK, different colours are related to different types of cable or pipe. Blue meant a water system while yellow indicated gas lines and green labelled CCTV or data wiring. All of these codes have a purpose — to avoid causing panic, to transmit subtle signals in social groups, or to provide technical information quickly and easily. “People don’t like secrets, do they?” says Baker. “There is a drive to have as much information as possible — we do live in the information age,” he adds. 18. The following are purposes of the secret codes except ________. A. to avoid causing alarm and panic among the public. B. to send sensitive signals in social groups. C. to provide technical information quickly and easily. D. to make people believe you are wiser. 19. The underlined word “morgue” in paragraph 3 refers to the room in a hospital ______. A. where patients are treated B. where dead bodies are kept C. where a patient has an operation D. where a surgeon cuts open the patients’ bodies 20. How many kinds of secret codes are mentioned in the passage? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 21. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. The secret codes you are not meant to know B. Where to find the codes C. The origin of different codes D. Codes in the modern society 【答案】18. D 19. B 20. B 21. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些在特殊场合所使用的密码。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“All of these codes have a purpose — to avoid causing panic, to transmit subtle signals in social groups, or to provide technical information quickly and easily. (所有这些密码都有一个目的——避免引起恐慌，在社会群体中传递微妙的信号，或者快速而容易地提供技术信息)”可知，选项A、B、C都是密码的目的，除了选项D“让人们相信你更聪明”。故选D项。 【19题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“It’s been reported that hospital staff sometimes refer to the morgue as “Rose Cottage”, in order to avoid upsetting relatives of a patient who has recently died. (据报道，医院工作人员有时会把morgue称为“玫瑰小屋”，以避免让最近去世的病人的亲属感到不安)”，由照顾死者亲属的情绪可知，划线词morgue指的是“医院内停放尸体的房间”。故选B项。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A good place to start is hospital emergency codes. These are often colour-coded, and one health centre in Canada has published its list online. (一个很好的开始是医院的紧急密码。这些通常是用颜色编码的，加拿大的一个健康中心已经在网上公布了它的清单)”，第五段中“Not all codes are alphanumeric (字母数字的). Some are visual, intended to be hidden in plain sight. (并不是所有的密码都是字母数字的。有些是视觉上的，故意隐藏在显而易见的地方)”和倒数第二段中“And finally, the spray-painted squiggles (波形曲线) you see on pavements in towns and cities all over the world are codes understood by construction workers and engineers. (所有这些密码都有一个目的——避免引起恐慌，在社会群体中传递微妙的信号，或者快速而容易地提供技术信息)”可知，文章中总共提到了3种类型的密码：color code，visual code，spray-painted squiggles。故选B项。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“but still get the message out to those trained to deal with the problem (但仍然会让那些受过训练的人知道如何处理这个问题)”，第二段中“But what codewords and signs are really out there in the wild? (但是，究竟有哪些编码和符号是真正存在于野外的呢)” 以及下文描述了color code，visual code和spray-painted squiggles这3种类型的密码，可知，本文主要介绍了一些在特殊场合所使用的密码，因此本文的最佳标题选项A“那些你不应该知道的密码”符合题意。故选A项。 D Universities have boomed in recent decades. In theory, universities should be an excellent source of productivity growth. In practice, however, the great expansion of higher education has coincided with a productivity slowdown. A new paper by Ashish Arora and his colleagues, suggests that universities’ rapid growth and the rich world’s stagnant productivity could be two sides of the same coin. The new paper makes a subtle but devastating suggestion: that when it came to delivering productivity gains, the old, big-business model of science worked better than the new, university-led one. Broadly, they find that scientific breakthroughs from public institutions “elicit little or no response from established corporations” over a number of years. A researcher in a university lab might publish brilliant papers after brilliant paper, pushing the front of a discipline. Often, however, this has no impact on corporations’ own publications, their patents or the number of scientists that they employ. And this, in turn, points to a small impact on economy-wide productivity. Why do companies struggle to use ideas produced by universities? The loss of the corporate lab is one part of the answer. Such institutions were home to a lively mixture of thinkers and doers. In the 1940s Bell Labs had the interdisciplinary team of chemists, metallurgists and physicists necessary to solve the overlapping theoretical and practical problems associated with developing the transistor. That cross-cutting expertise is now largely gone. Another part of the answer concerns universities. Free from the demands of corporate overloads, research focuses more on satisfying geeks’ curiosity or boosting citation counts than on finding breakthroughs that will change the world or make money. In moderation, research for research’s sake is no bad thing; some breakthrough technologies, such as penicillin, were discovered almost by accident. But if everyone is arguing over how many angels dance on the head of a pin, the economy suffers. When higher-education institutions do produce work that is more relevant to the real world, the consequences are troubling. As universities produce more fresh PhD graduates, companies seem to find it easier to invent new stuff. Yet universities’ patents have an offsetting effect, provoking corporations to produce fewer patents themselves. It is possible that existing businesses, worried about competition from university spinoffs, cut back on research and development (R&D) in that field. Although no one knows for sure how these opposing effects balance out, the authors point to a net decline in corporate patenting of about 1.5% a year. The vast fiscal resources devoted to public science, in other words, probably make businesses across the rich world less innovative. Perhaps, with time, universities and the corporate sector will work together more profitably. And corporate researchers, rather than universities, are driving the current generative AI innovation boom: in a few cases, the corporate lab has already risen from the ashes. At some point, though, governments will need to ask themselves hard questions. In a world of weak economic growth, generous public support for universities may come to seem an unjustifiable luxury. 22. According to the text, Arora and his colleagues find that ________. A. universities have long been an important source of productivity growth B. universities’ scientific outputs don’t really impact established corporations C. university-led model of science is delivering fewer scientific breakthroughs D. big businesses are slow to absorb innovative ideas produced by universities 23. Bell Labs are mentioned in the text to ________. A. honor their key contributions to scientific development B. highlight a successful corporate-university partnership C. indicate the essential components of successful corporate labs D. mourn the bygone days of multidisciplinary corporate research 24. What does the word “offsetting” probably mean? A. weakening B. boosting C. stabilizing D. disrupting 25. Which of the following statements will the author most likely agree with? A. Universities should expand their collaboration with corporations. B Universities should play a bigger role in developing generative AI. C. The government should put in effort to revive corporate labs. D. The government should reduce public support for universities. 【答案】22. B 23. D 24. A 25. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出近几十年大学扩张却遇生产力放缓，研究显示大学主导科研模式对企业影响小、难促经济生产力，分析原因并提及校企合作或有改善可能，还提到政府需反思对大学的支持。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Often, however, this has no impact on corporations’ own publications, their patents or the number of scientists that they employ.(然而，通常情况下，这并不会对企业的自身出版物、其专利以及所雇用的科研人员数量产生任何影响)”可知，阿罗拉及其团队发现，大学的科研成果实际上并不会对已有的企业产生实质性影响。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。结合第三段全段，再根据第三段中“The loss of the corporate lab is one part of the answer. Such institutions were home to a lively mixture of thinkers and doers. In the 1940s Bell Labs had the interdisciplinary team of chemists, metallurgists and physicist s necessary to solve the overlapping theoretical and practical problems associated with developing the transistor. That cross-cutting expertise is now largely gone. (企业实验室的消失是原因之一。这类机构曾是思想家与实干家的活跃聚集地。20世纪40年代，贝尔实验室拥有由化学家、冶金学家和物理学家组成的跨学科团队 —— 正是开发晶体管所需的、能解决理论与实践交叉问题的核心力量。而如今，这种跨领域专业能力已基本消失)”可知，文中先提出观点：企业难以利用大学成果的原因之一是“企业实验室的消失”；再举案例佐证：贝尔实验室是“消失的优秀企业实验室”的典型代表 —— 它凭借跨学科团队（思想家 + 实干家）成功解决了晶体管开发中的复杂问题，证明了企业实验室在 “科研成果落地” 中的关键作用；最后对比现状：明确指出贝尔实验室拥有的“跨领域专业能力如今已基本消失”，通过“过去的成功”与“当下的缺失” 形成强烈对比，暗含对“企业实验室黄金时代已逝”的惋惜。故选D。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“provoking corporations to produce fewer patents themselves(导致企业自身专利减少)”可知，前文则说“大学培养更多博士让企业更容易创新（本应促进企业专利增加）”，前后形成 “促进”与“减少”的对立，故“offsetting”意为“抵消、削弱”，与A项“weakening”（削弱）同义。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps, with time, universities and the corporate sector will work together more profitably.(或许，随着时间的推移，大学和企业界能够更有效地开展合作)”可推知，作者支持校企合作，大学应当加强与企业的合作最能反映作者的观点。故选A。 E How to Focus Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus-filled game plan before you set out to accomplish a task. ____26____ 1. Build up your focus stamina (耐力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina” but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task. ____27____ It may be just another five minutes or another half hour. 2. Meditate(沉思). Meditating is more than a great way to relax. ____28____ When you meditate, you’ll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you. 3. Read more. ____29____ Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to reading for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work. 4. Multi-task less. ____30____ However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multi-task, you’re not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you will see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while, getting work done is one of the worst forms of multi-tasking. Chatting with a friend can slow your productivity down by half. A. Reading is a great way to build up your focus. B. If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps! C. Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day. D. When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping. E. Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly. F. Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on Facebook? G. If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus. 【答案】26. B 27. D 28. G 29. A 30. E 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。提高你的专注力可以让你成为一个更好的学生或员工，以及一个更快乐和更有条理的人。文章对如何提高专注力提出了建议。 【26题详解】 根据第二段第一句“Build up your focus stamina (耐力).”（增强你的专注力。），第三段第一句“Meditate(沉思). ”，第四段第一句“Read more.”（阅读更多。）等可知，接下来是提出建议，所以选项B（如果你想知道如何像激光一样聚焦，只需遵循以下步骤！）切合文意。故选B。 【27题详解】 根据前文“To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task.”（要培养专注力，就给自己一定的时间，什么都不做，只做某项任务。）可知，选项D中的that time是指a certain amount of time，根据后文“It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.”（可能只是再过5分钟或半小时。）可知，it是指选项D中的how long。所以选项D（当时间过去，看看你能坚持多久才真正停止。）切合文意。故选D。 【28题详解】 根据前文“Meditating is more than a great way to relax.”（沉思不仅仅是一种放松的好方法。）可知，此处是讲沉思的好处，所以选项G（如果你每天沉思10到20分钟，你就会慢慢地提高你的注意力。）切合文意。故选G。 【29题详解】 根据前文“Read more.”（多阅读）可知，此处是讲阅读对提高专注力的好处，所以选项A（阅读是培养注意力的好方法。）切合文意。故选A。 【30题详解】 前文“Multi-task less.”（少同时做多项任务）对应选项E中的“getting two or three things done at once”（同时做两三件事），后文“it is actually harmful to your concentration”（它实际上对你的注意力是有害的）和选项E（很多人认为同时做两到三件事是更快完成目标的好方法。）构成转折关系，对应转折词however。所以选项E切合文意。故选E。 四、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Ever since I was a boy, I have been an active reader and dreamed to be a writer.

It mainly comes from exams, heavy homework, and fierce competition for college admission. To cope with this pressure, effective strategies are essential. First, time management can help us prioritize tasks and avoid procrastination. For example, making a daily study plan ensures efficiency. Second, physical activities like jogging or playing basketball can relieve stress by releasing endorphins. Additionally, talking to friends, teachers, or family members about our worries provides emotional support. In my opinion, mental health is as important as academic success. Schools should offer counseling services, and students need to learn self-care techniques, such as mindfulness or journaling. Remember, a healthy mind is the foundation of achieving long-term goals. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生撰写短文投稿，分析压力来源、提出应对方法并强调心理健康重要性。 【详解】1.词汇积累 压力：pressure → stress   关键的：essential → crucial 基础：foundation → basis 目标：goal → target 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：To cope with this pressure, effective strategies are essential. 拓展句：Effective strategies are essential so that we can cope with this pressure. 【点睛】【高分句型1】As we know, academic pressure has become a common challenge for students, especially in senior high school.
