A. that B. what C. when D. where 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】 考查名词性从句。句意:为了使约瑟夫教授所说的成为现实，这个学生完成了这个实验。_________ Professor Joseph had said作make的宾语从句，该从句中，空处在从句中作said的宾语，表示”……所说的话”，因此应用what引导该从句。故选B。 4. — Was it you who called me at about I1:00 last night? — No, I was already fast asleep by then. It someone else. A. would have been B. would be C. must have been D. must be 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词+have done的用法。句意：——昨晚1点左右给我打电话的是你吗？——不，那时我已经睡得很熟了。那一定是别人。分析句子可知，答语是对过去事实的肯定推测，应用“must have done”，故空格处应填“must have been”。故选C项。 5. ________ that the government can lead them out of the financial crisis, people are optimistic about the future of the country. A. Convincing B. Convinced C. To convince D. Having convinced 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：确信政府会带领他们走出经济危机，人们对国家的未来很乐观。convince sb. that“使某人相信……”，convince和句子的主语people是逻辑动宾关系，应使用过去分词做状语，表被动。故选B。 6.

A. are remaining B. have remained C. is remaining D. has remained 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:20世纪90年代初，医学院的数量达到了18所，此后一直保持在这个水平。ever since“从那以后”作时间状语，句子用现在完成时态。主语为the number of medical schools，the number of表示“……的数目”，中心词是number，所以是单数，作主语时，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。综上，故选D。 8. AI nursing workers are emotionally stable and technically reliable ______ traditional human nurses. A. in terms of B. in addition to C. in harmony with D. in contrast to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：AI护理人员在情绪稳定性和技术可靠性方面，与传统人类护士相比有明显优势。A. in terms of就……而言；B. in addition to除了……之外；C. in harmony with与……和谐一致；D. in contrast to与……相比。根据“emotionally stable and technically reliable”可知，这里强调的是AI护理人员相对于传统人类护士在某些特性上的对比。故选D项。 9. Mr. White put forward several suggestions in the meeting, none of ________ gained support from his teammates. A. them B. whom C. which D. who 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：怀特在会议上提出了几项建议，但都没有得到队友的支持。分析句子可知，这里考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为several suggestions，为物，作none of后的宾语，所以应用关系代词which引导。故选C项。 10. has always been one of the core virtues of the human society. A. Integrity B. Adulthood C. Selfishness D. Commitment 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：诚信一直是人类社会的核心美德之一。A. Integrity诚信，正直；B. Adulthood成年；C. Selfishness自私；D.

Having not finished; to watch C. Not having finished; to watch D. Having finished; watching 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这个男孩还没有完成作业，就不允许看电视。本句的谓语是was not allowed，逗号前为非谓语动词短语。finish和the boy之间是主谓关系，且表示的动词发生在谓语之前，所以用现在分词的完成式，这里表示“没有完成”，应在现在分词前加not，即not having done的形式。allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”，第二空是被动表达，用不定式作主语补足语。故选C。 12. The school ________ with reading lessons that taught students to guess the meaning of new words. A. did the trick B. paved the way C. braved the elements D. broke new ground 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查习语。句意：学校在阅读课上开创了新方法，教学生猜测新单词的意思。A. did the trick获得成功；B. paved the way铺平道路；C. braved the elements不惧酷境；D. broke new ground开辟新领域、开创新方法。结合“taught students to guess the meaning of new words”可知，应该是学校在阅读课上开创了新方法。故选D项。 13.

A. whatever B. however C. how much D. no matter how 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句。句意：这些运动员，尤其是获胜者，无论他们取得多么快速的进步，都应该保持谦虚。A. whatever无论什么；B. however无论怎样；C. how much多少（钱）；D. no matter how无论怎样。空格处应填入状语从句的引导词，根据句意和语法结构可知，此处应用“no matter+疑问词”或“疑问词+ever”结构，本题中引导让步状语从句，在从句中作定语，修饰名词短语rapid progress，用“whatever”。而however或no matter how后需跟形容词或副词，how much表“数量”或“价格”，均不符合句意。 故选A。 14. — How are you going to celebrate her birthday today? — I’m having some flowers ________. A. dropped B. displayed C. distributed D. delivered 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：——你今天打算怎么庆祝她的生日？——我打算让人送一些花。A. dropped（使）落下；B. displayed展示；C. distributed分发；D. delivered递送，派送。根据上文“I’m having some flowers”可知，此处表示“派送鲜花”，用deliver符合题意，have sth. done，表示“让某物被……”，deliver与flowers构成被动关系，应用过去分词，故delivered符合题意。 故选D。 15. —Tim has difficulty in making decisions. —__________. He's still hesitating about whether to take the job. A. That’s it B. Give it a try C. It's settled D. You're kidding me 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：—Tim做决定有困难。—就是。他还在犹豫是否接受那份工作。 A.That's it就是；B.

By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them. It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain. With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria. Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product-CanCandy. As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of Ailie Candy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore. 41. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning? A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out. C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to consult dentists. 42. What is special about Can Candy? A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners. C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists’ recipe. 43. Which of the following best explains the phrase “get round the warning” (Paragraph 2) in the context? A. Obey the warning strictly and give up eating candies completely B. Find a way to avoid the negative effect of the warning. C. Argue with her father to prove the warning is unreasonable. D. Ignore the warning and continue eating sugary candies. 44. It can be inferred from the passage that Can Candy’s success is NOT attributed to ________. A. Moore’s two years of research and trials on the recipe B. the use of natural sweeteners that reduce oral bacteria C. Moore’s focus on profit as the core driving force D. the support from her father in business negotiations 45. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story? A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect. C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. C 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Alice Moore是一位青少年创业者，她用她独特的智慧想出了一种对牙齿有益的健康糖果，帮助了爱吃糖孩子可以多吃糖，最终成就了自己的事业。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?”(所以她想要绕开这个警告，“为什么我不能做一个健康的糖果，对我的牙齿有好处，这样我的父母就不会对它说不？”)”可知，Alice Moore在面对父亲的警告时，她希望找到解决办法。故选B项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“Consequently she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.(因此，她成功地制作了一种只使用天然甜味剂的糖果，这种甜味剂可以减少口腔细菌)”可知，这种糖只使用天然甜味剂，可以减少口腔细菌，因此它对牙齿健康有利。故选A。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章划线句后文的内容““Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.(“为什么我不能制作一种对牙齿有益的健康糖果，这样父母就无法拒绝了呢？”想到这一点，Moore问父亲是否可以创办自己的糖果公司)”可知，文中提到Moore不想因为父亲的警告而放弃糖果，所以她决定制作一种对牙齿健康的糖果，从而让父母无法拒绝。故此处划线句意为“找到一种避开警告负面影响的解决办法”。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Although she founded her company early on, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.(虽然她很早就创立了自己的公司，但她的主要动机并不是利润。Moore希望运用她独特的天赋，帮助他人绽放笑容)”可知，文章明确指出，Moore创办公司并非主要受利润驱动，因此Can Candy的成功不能归因于她以利润为核心驱动力。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.(凭借她的天赋和决心，Alice Moore似乎前途无量)”可知，Alice Moore因为父亲对吃糖有害的言论展开思考，产生了让更多爱吃糖的孩子既能享受糖果又能使牙齿健康的初衷，创立公司，积极地付诸实践并取得成功。由此推知，积极的思考和行动能促成成功。故选C。 C Erica Solove remembers December 30, 2021, like it was yesterday. She was at home in Superior, Colorado, a Boulder suburb at the foot of the Rockies. “It was an extremely windy day,” she says. “Hurricane-force winds. And we quickly realized it’s not just wind coming down the mountain — it’s fire.” She grabbed her napping two-year-old daughter out of her crib while her husband scooped up their five-year-old son. The family got in the car, struggling to open the doors against the wind, and fled without wallets, coats, or even shoes. She remembers how half the sky was black with smoke, while the other half was a bright crystalline blue. They were fleeing the Marshall Fire, the costliest in Colorado history. Her family lost everything. In the early weeks after the disaster, Solove experienced panic attacks on windy days, and the kids went to trauma therapy. “What an absolute nightmare,” she says. But three years later, Solove, an organizational psychologist, says she feels stronger than before, even “triumphant.” She now finds it easier to put little stressors in perspective. Her life has grown richer in some ways: She and her neighbors became as close as extended family. Solove’s Marshall Fire story is an example of what researchers call Post-Traumatic (创伤) Growth (PTG) — a term first coined in 1995. Studies have consistently found that on average, between half and two-thirds of survivors report positive changes and a new life outlook after a tragedy or crisis. Resilience can be defined broadly as “bouncing back” from adversity, returning to how you were before the hardship struck. When people experience post-traumatic growth, by contrast, they identify improvements in their lives. Recently, researchers have been finding brain structures that correlate with this kind of growth. And they’ve been unearthing new social and community factors and personal behaviors contribute to fostering it. The researchers also stress that you don’t need to go through extreme hardship yourself to draw lessons from the phenomenon of post-traumatic growth. We all face some level of adversity, and the experiences of people like Solove hold inspiration for anyone looking to build a more satisfying, connected, joyful life. 46. What can we learn about the Marshall Fire from the passage? A. It happened in a city far from the Rockies. B. It caused no harm to Solove’s family except property loss. C. It was the most expensive fire disaster in Colorado’s history. D. It broke out on a quiet, windless day. 47. Why does the author include Erica’s personal story in the passage? A. To showcase transformative effects of tragedy B. To establish emotional connection with readers C. To demonstrate the psychological findings D. To provide background on trauma research 48. What does the last paragraph convey? A. Highlight the accessibility of PTG principles B The universality of confronting obstacles C. Learn from others’ traumatic experiences D. Draw strength from everyday challenges 49. What does Erica Solove’s experience show? A. Always have, always will. B. A blessing in disguise. C. The beginning of one thing can be the rest of everything. D. Our greatest glory is in rising every time when we fall. 50. According to the description and curve, which one is true according to the passage? A. I Ⅱ B. I Ⅲ C. Ⅱ Ⅲ D. Ⅲ Ⅳ 【答案】46. C 47. C 48. A 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章借Erica经历火灾后创伤后成长的事例，介绍创伤后成长（PTG）的概念、相关研究及启示。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They were fleeing the Marshall Fire, the costliest in Colorado history.(他们正在逃离马歇尔大火，这是科罗拉多州历史上代价最高的火灾)”可知，它是科罗拉多州历史上最昂贵的火灾灾难。故选C。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Solove’s Marshall Fire story is an example of what researchers call Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) — a term first coined in 1995.(索洛维的马歇尔火灾故事是研究人员所说的创伤后成长（PTG）的一个例子——这个术语最早是在 1995 年提出的)”可知，作者用她的故事是为了展示这一心理学发现。故选C。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The researchers also stress that you don’t need to go through extreme hardship yourself to draw lessons from the phenomenon of post-traumatic growth. We all face some level of adversity, and the experiences of people like Solove hold inspiration for anyone looking to build a more satisfying, connected, joyful life.(研究人员还强调，你不需要亲身经历极端困难就能从创伤后成长的现象中吸取教训。我们都会面临一定程度的逆境，而像索洛维这样的人的经历，对任何想要构建更令人满意、更有联结、更快乐的生活的人来说都有启发)”可知，该段强调了PTG原则的可获得性。故选A。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But three years later, Solove, an organizational psychologist, says she feels stronger than before, even “triumphant.” She now finds it easier to put little stressors in perspective. Her life has grown richer in some ways: She and her neighbors became as close as extended family.(但三年后，身为组织心理学家的索洛维说，她感觉比以前更强大，甚至“胜利了”。她现在更容易正确看待小压力。她的生活在某些方面变得更丰富了：她和邻居的关系变得像大家庭一样亲密)”可知，Erica 的经历体现了“塞翁失马，焉知非福”的道理。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Studies have consistently found that on average, between half and two-thirds of survivors report positive changes and a new life outlook after a tragedy or crisis.(研究一致发现，平均而言，一半到三分之二的幸存者在经历悲剧或危机后，会报告积极的变化和新的生活展望)”可知，I选项“one third of survivors(三分之一的幸存者)”表述错误；根据第五段中“Resilience can be defined broadly as “bouncing back” from adversity, returning to how you were before the hardship struck.(韧性大致可以定义为从逆境中“反弹”，回到困境发生前的状态)”可知，曲线可体现Ⅱ选项“resilience(韧性)”；根据第四段中“Solove’s Marshall Fire story is an example of what researchers call Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) — a term first coined in 1995. Studies have consistently found that on average, between half and two-thirds of survivors report positive changes and a new life outlook after a tragedy or crisis.(索洛维的马歇尔火灾故事是研究人员所说的创伤后成长（PTG）的一个例子 —— 这个术语最早是在 1995 年提出的。多项研究一致表明，在灾难或危机发生后，平均有超过一半到三分之二的幸存者会报告出现积极的变化，并拥有全新的生活态度)”可知，曲线可体现Ⅲ选项“the process of PTG works(PTG运行的过程)”；根据第三段中“she feels stronger than before, even “triumphant.”(她感觉比以前更强大，甚至“胜利了”)”可知，Ⅳ选项“Erica’s emotion(Erica的情绪)”的曲线未对应。因此Ⅱ和Ⅲ正确。故选C。 D A father told his son that he should not accept the Theory of Evolution just because he learned about it in Biology class at school. He went on to say that he is teaching his son to think critically. But he isn’t. Many people assume that critical thinking refers to questioning and criticizing in the more negative sense of the word. If they are rejecting what they are told by experts, they falsely believe that they are thinking critically. This is not uncommon. Many people claim that everything is just someone’s opinion and no one is actually right or wrong. They believe they are thinking critically when they’re actually doing the very opposite. There are many definitions of critical thinking. To put simply, it refers to identifying and evaluating arguments, finding inconsistencies in arguments, problem solving, and thinking about our own beliefs and why we hold them. Diane Halpern, author of Thought and Knowledge, uses this definition: “Critical thinkers are able to change their mind or the conclusion that they reached, when new information warrants such a change.” A closed-minded person responds negatively when presented with new ideas that challenge their existing beliefs. These are the people who insist that even an expert’s opinion is no better than anyone else’s. In contrast, an open-minded person suspends judgment. They seek out more information, including information that goes against beliefs they currently hold. They review the evidence that’s available and are always open to new ways of thinking. They consider all options and insist on finding a solution. So you need to ask questions and be open-minded about the answers. You need to know how to do research and look for reliable sources. You have to think about your own thinking and question why you hold the beliefs you do. Be aware of the pre-set ideas you bring to the argument, and learn to evaluate evidence. 51. Why does the author mention the father-son example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the practice of critical thinking. B. To criticize the current education system. C. To present a widespread misconception. D. To introduce an innovative idea. 52. What does the underlined word “warrants” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Justifies. B. Matches. C. Transforms. D. Identifies. 53. How are open-minded people different from the closed-minded? A. They respect expert authority. B. They internalize their own beliefs. C. They keep an option-solution balance. D. They resist the urge to judge prematurely. 54. Which of the following scenarios best exemplifies “true critical thinking” as defined in the passage? A. A student rejects a textbook’s explanation of a scientific principle because it conflicts with their parent’s personal views. B. A researcher abandons a long-held hypothesis after analyzing new experimental data that contradicts its core assumptions. C. A reader dismisses an expert’s article on climate change, arguing that“all opinions are equally valid”. D. A politician refuses to consider opposing policy proposals, claiming they are“based on biased information”. 55. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. How to evaluate evidence. B. The process of critical thinking. C. How to become a critical thinker. D. The benefits of being open-minded. 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了批判性思维的定义，以及思想开放的人和思想封闭的人对批判性思维的不同表现，最后介绍了如何成为一个批判性思考者。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A father told his son that he should not accept the Theory of Evolution just because he learned about it in Biology class at school. He went on to say that he is teaching his son to think critically. But he isn’t.(一位父亲告诉他的儿子，他不应该仅仅因为在学校的生物课上学到了进化论就接受它。他接着说，他正在教他的儿子进行批判性思考。但实际上他并没有教)”以及第二段“Many people assume that critical thinking refers to questioning and criticizing in the more negative sense of the word. If they are rejecting what they are told by experts, they falsely believe that they are thinking critically. This is not uncommon.(许多人认为批判性思维是指在更消极的意义上进行质疑和批评。如果他们拒绝专家告诉他们的事情，他们错误地认为自己在进行批判性思考。这种情况并不少见)”可推知，作者在第一段提到父子的例子是为了呈现一种普遍存在的误解，即很多人错误地认为拒绝专家的观点就是批判性思维，实际上并不是。故选C项。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Critical thinkers are able to change their mind or the conclusion that they reached, when new information warrants such a change. (当新的信息warrants这种改变时，批判性思考者能够改变他们的想法或他们得出的结论)”可知，此处表示当新信息证明这种改变是合理的时候，批判性思考者能够改变想法或结论。由此可知，划线词warrants与A项“Justifies(证明……是合理的；为……辩护)”意思相近，故选A项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“A closed-minded person responds negatively when presented with new ideas that challenge their existing beliefs. These are the people who insist that even an expert’s opinion is no better than anyone else’s. In contrast, an open-minded person suspends judgment. They seek out more information, including information that goes against beliefs they currently hold. They review the evidence that’s available and are always open to new ways of thinking.(一个思想封闭的人在面对挑战他们现有信念的新想法时会做出消极的反应。这些人坚持认为，即使是专家的意见也不比其他人的好。相比之下，一个思想开放的人会暂缓判断。他们会寻找更多的信息，包括与他们目前所持信念相悖的信息。他们审查现有的证据，并且总是对新的思维方式持开放态度)”可知，思想开放的人与思想封闭的人不同之处在于，思想开放的人会暂缓判断，即他们抵制过早做出判断的冲动。故选D项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Critical thinkers are able to change their mind or the conclusion that they reached, when new information warrants such a change. (当新的信息证明这种改变是合理的时候，批判性思考者能够改变他们的想法或他们得出的结论)”以及倒数第二段“In contrast, an open-minded person suspends judgment. They seek out more information, including information that goes against beliefs they currently hold. They review the evidence that’s available and are always open to new ways of thinking.(相比之下，一个思想开放的人会暂缓判断。他们会寻找更多的信息，包括与他们目前所持信念相悖的信息。他们审查现有的证据，并且总是对新的思维方式持开放态度)”可知，拥有批判性思维的人会因为新数据而放弃旧假设，也会寻找更多的信息，审视现有的证据，并始终对新思维方式保持开放的态度。由此推知，“一位研究者在分析了与核心假设矛盾的新实验数据后，放弃了长期持有的假设”最能体现“真正的批判性思维”。故选B项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So you need to ask questions and be open-minded about the answers. You need to know how to do research and look for reliable sources. You have to think about your own thinking and question why you hold the beliefs you do. Be aware of the pre-set ideas you bring to the argument, and learn to evaluate evidence.(所以你需要提出问题，并对答案持开放态度。你需要知道如何进行研究并寻找可靠的来源。你必须思考自己的思维，并质疑自己为什么持有这样的信念。意识到你在论证中带入的预设想法，并学会评估证据)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是如何成为一个批判性思考者，即提出问题、对答案持开放态度、进行研究、思考自己的思维、质疑自己的信念、意识到预设想法和评估证据等。故选C项。 阅读表达： 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 You’ve got to know your own value, know what you want, and stick with it. That’s what T. McDowell’s advice to others is and it’s certainly worked for him. This high school senior is currently the owner of Immersion Imaging, a successful company specializing in Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases. McDowell launched the company in 2012, which was originally called 4th Dimension Graphics. Two years later, it was recognized as Immersion Imaging. Surprisingly, he didn’t begin the company with the assistance of any partner, but instead founded it on his own with the experience and contacts that he already had. “It’s always been a one-person operation. I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now.” McDowell said. I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.” If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working. Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income. Part of the reason why McDowell ended up in the computer industry might be explained by the exposure he had as a child. However he spends his free time on more than just computers. His real interest lies in aviation (航空). With his business spirit and success. McDowell won’t have a problem realizing his dreams of the sky one day. 56. What does McDowell’s company focus on? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________ 57.

McDowell创立了自己的公司Immersion Imaging，并介绍了公司的运营方式、他的工作习惯以及个人兴趣等信息。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“This high school senior is currently the owner of Immersion Imaging, a successful company specializing in Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases. (这位高中高年级学生目前是Immersion Imaging的所有者，这是一家成功的企业，专门从事互联网商务解决方案和在线金融数据库)”可知，McDowell的公司专注于互联网商务解决方案和在线金融数据库。故答案为Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线词所在句“I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now. (我可以很容易地找合伙人或进一步 业务规模，但目前我想保持这种方式)”可知，前后是转折关系，所以推断McDowell表示他可以轻松地找合伙人或者进一步扩大业务规模，但是他却只想保持这种模式。由此可推知，scale up意为“扩大，扩展，增长”，与Expand/Enlarge/Grow/Extend意思相近。故答案为Expand./Enlarge./Grow./Extend。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems. (我喜欢它，因为它是灵活的，所以如果我需要更多的收入，我可以做更多；如果我休息一段时间，我也没有任何问题)”可知，McDowell希望他的公司是单人经营的原因是它很灵活。故答案为Because it’s flexible. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working. Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income. (如果McDowell每周工作30到60个小时。Immersion Imaging将为他提供稳定的收入)”可知，McDowell通过每周工作30到60个小时来享受稳定的收入。故答案为By working 30 to 60 hours per week. 【60题详解】 考查开放性题目。文章主要讲述了T. McDowell创立了自己的公司，并介绍了公司的运营方式、他的工作习惯以及个人兴趣等信息，他的经历启示我们：我们应该首先找出对我们重要的事情，发现我们的梦想，然后我们应该保持专注，追求我们的梦想。故答案为Open. We should first find out what matters to us and discover our dreams. Then we should stay focused and go after our dreams.

Those who buy them occasionally account for 26%. The reasons behind this may be as follows. Mystery boxes are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figures come in small sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere. Even if mystery boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts students. It’s the main reason why students buy mystery boxes one after another. In my opinion, although buying mystery boxes adds expectation and joy to our lives, most of the goods we buy may not be what we need. The obsession with mystery boxes makes us over consume, and we need to consume rationally. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生根据学校学生会对高中生购买盲盒情况的调查结果，为校报写一篇报道，内容包括简要描述调查结果、分析造成此现象的原因以及自己对购买盲盒的看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 调查：survey→research 偶尔地：occasionally→sometimes 可爱的：cute→lovely 展示：display→show 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：The typically cute cartoon figures come in small sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere. 拓展句：The typically cute cartoon figures come in small sizes, which makes them suitable for display almost anywhere.

By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them. It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain. With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria. Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product-CanCandy. As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of Ailie Candy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore. 41. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning? A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out. C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to consult dentists. 42. What is special about Can Candy? A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners. C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists’ recipe. 43. Which of the following best explains the phrase “get round the warning” (Paragraph 2) in the context? A. Obey the warning strictly and give up eating candies completely B. Find a way to avoid the negative effect of the warning. C. Argue with her father to prove the warning is unreasonable. D. Ignore the warning and continue eating sugary candies. 44. It can be inferred from the passage that Can Candy’s success is NOT attributed to ________. A. Moore’s two years of research and trials on the recipe B. the use of natural sweeteners that reduce oral bacteria C. Moore’s focus on profit as the core driving force D. the support from her father in business negotiations 45. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story? A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect. C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied. C Erica Solove remembers December 30, 2021, like it was yesterday. She was at home in Superior, Colorado, a Boulder suburb at the foot of the Rockies. “It was an extremely windy day,” she says. “Hurricane-force winds. And we quickly realized it’s not just wind coming down the mountain — it’s fire.” She grabbed her napping two-year-old daughter out of her crib while her husband scooped up their five-year-old son. The family got in the car, struggling to open the doors against the wind, and fled without wallets, coats, or even shoes. She remembers how half the sky was black with smoke, while the other half was a bright crystalline blue. They were fleeing the Marshall Fire, the costliest in Colorado history. Her family lost everything. In the early weeks after the disaster, Solove experienced panic attacks on windy days, and the kids went to trauma therapy. “What an absolute nightmare,” she says. But three years later, Solove, an organizational psychologist, says she feels stronger than before, even “triumphant.” She now finds it easier to put little stressors in perspective. Her life has grown richer in some ways: She and her neighbors became as close as extended family. Solove’s Marshall Fire story is an example of what researchers call Post-Traumatic (创伤) Growth (PTG) — a term first coined in 1995. Studies have consistently found that on average, between half and two-thirds of survivors report positive changes and a new life outlook after a tragedy or crisis. Resilience can be defined broadly as “bouncing back” from adversity, returning to how you were before the hardship struck. When people experience post-traumatic growth, by contrast, they identify improvements in their lives. Recently, researchers have been finding brain structures that correlate with this kind of growth. And they’ve been unearthing new social and community factors and personal behaviors contribute to fostering it. The researchers also stress that you don’t need to go through extreme hardship yourself to draw lessons from the phenomenon of post-traumatic growth. We all face some level of adversity, and the experiences of people like Solove hold inspiration for anyone looking to build a more satisfying, connected, joyful life. 46. What can we learn about the Marshall Fire from the passage? A. It happened in a city far from the Rockies. B. It caused no harm to Solove’s family except property loss. C. It was the most expensive fire disaster in Colorado’s history. D. It broke out on a quiet, windless day. 47. Why does the author include Erica’s personal story in the passage? A. To showcase transformative effects of tragedy B. To establish emotional connection with readers C. To demonstrate the psychological findings D. To provide background on trauma research 48. What does the last paragraph convey? A. Highlight the accessibility of PTG principles B. The universality of confronting obstacles C. Learn from others’ traumatic experiences D. Draw strength from everyday challenges 49. What does Erica Solove’s experience show? A. Always have, always will. B. A blessing in disguise. C. The beginning of one thing can be the rest of everything. D. Our greatest glory is in rising every time when we fall. 50. According to the description and curve, which one is true according to the passage? A. I Ⅱ B. I Ⅲ C. Ⅱ Ⅲ D. Ⅲ Ⅳ D A father told his son that he should not accept the Theory of Evolution just because he learned about it in Biology class at school. He went on to say that he is teaching his son to think critically. But he isn’t. Many people assume that critical thinking refers to questioning and criticizing in the more negative sense of the word. If they are rejecting what they are told by experts, they falsely believe that they are thinking critically. This is not uncommon. Many people claim that everything is just someone’s opinion and no one is actually right or wrong. They believe they are thinking critically when they’re actually doing the very opposite. There are many definitions of critical thinking. To put simply, it refers to identifying and evaluating arguments, finding inconsistencies in arguments, problem solving, and thinking about our own beliefs and why we hold them. Diane Halpern, author of Thought and Knowledge, uses this definition: “Critical thinkers are able to change their mind or the conclusion that they reached, when new information warrants such a change.” A closed-minded person responds negatively when presented with new ideas that challenge their existing beliefs. These are the people who insist that even an expert’s opinion is no better than anyone else’s. In contrast, an open-minded person suspends judgment. They seek out more information, including information that goes against beliefs they currently hold. They review the evidence that’s available and are always open to new ways of thinking. They consider all options and insist on finding a solution. So you need to ask questions and be open-minded about the answers. You need to know how to do research and look for reliable sources. You have to think about your own thinking and question why you hold the beliefs you do. Be aware of the pre-set ideas you bring to the argument, and learn to evaluate evidence. 51. Why does the author mention the father-son example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the practice of critical thinking. B. To criticize the current education system. C. To present a widespread misconception. D. To introduce an innovative idea. 52. What does the underlined word “warrants” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Justifies. B. Matches. C. Transforms. D. Identifies. 53. How are open-minded people different from the closed-minded? A. They respect expert authority. B. They internalize their own beliefs. C. They keep an option-solution balance. D. They resist the urge to judge prematurely. 54. Which of the following scenarios best exemplifies “true critical thinking” as defined in the passage? A. A student rejects a textbook’s explanation of a scientific principle because it conflicts with their parent’s personal views. B. A researcher abandons a long-held hypothesis after analyzing new experimental data that contradicts its core assumptions. C. A reader dismisses an expert’s article on climate change, arguing that“all opinions are equally valid”. D. A politician refuses to consider opposing policy proposals, claiming they are“based on biased information”. 55. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. How to evaluate evidence. B. The process of critical thinking. C. How to become a critical thinker. D. The benefits of being open-minded. 阅读表达： 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 You’ve got to know your own value, know what you want, and stick with it. That’s what T.

I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now.” McDowell said. I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.” If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working.
