When I was seven, my father drove our old car to the edge of a cliff in California. The salt mist from the Pacific fogged the windshield. He pointed to the horizon and said, “This is where the world ends.” I believed him. The gray water seemed endless, blending sea and sky. Sea birds circled, their cries lost in the wind. I held the seat tightly, fearing the cliff would collapse. For weeks, I dreamt of falling, not a terrifying dive, but a gentle drift into the ocean’s embrace.
At twelve, I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography. Mrs. Wilkins showed us satellite images of Earth, a perfect blue planet. “There are no edges,” she assured us, tapping the globe. But that night, I dreamt of the cliff again, the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet.
Now at thirty-seven, I understand my father wasn’t lying. Every generation needs its own edge of the world, a place where certainty fades into wonder. Mine came when I held my newborn at 2: 17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love. My brother found his edge when the surgeon said “stage four.” The cliff still waits for others — the newly divorced, the recently bankrupt, the suddenly alone.
Last summer, I took my daughter to that same overlook. The side rail had faded, but she peered over the edge, her small hand holding mine. “Daddy,” she whispered, “what’s on the other side?” I thought of all the answers I could give — the science of ocean currents, the geography of distant shores, even Columbus’s certainty. Instead, I knelt beside her and said, “No one knows for sure. That’s why we keep looking.” The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below, carving new edges for new generations. Some truths aren’t meant to be taught, but discovered — often at the cliff edge of what we think we know. When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge, I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending, but as the first real question.
4. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph refers to a particular place where _________.
A. people enjoy the circling sea birds B. the boy underwent a terrifying falling
C. the sea and sky mix into one far away D. the father parked to let the boy feel the mist
5. Why did the author dream of the cliff again at twelve after the geography class?
A. The globe convinced him that cliffs were just harmless natural landscape.
B. The perfect blue satellite images triggered his memory of the cliff scenery.
C. The absence of edges of the Earth made him decide to visit the waves again.
D. The knowledge of borderless Earth went against his earlier belief of the cliff.
6. What does the “cliff” refer to in the author’s opinion?
A. Important life moments that break certainty. B. Quality time you share with family members.
C. A geographic edge to recall childhood memory. D. All the miserable failures you have experienced.
7. What did the author imply when he replied to his daughter’s question in that way?
A. The waves were so noisy that they made any further conversation impossible.
B. His daughter was too young to understand the facts about currents or Columbus.
C. He wanted his daughter to keep exploring rather than accept ready-made answers.
D. Contemporary science has not provided reliable data about the ocean and the cliff.
C
Paris is full of cultural significance. Yet, despite its wealth of cultural hotspots and architectural delights, some tourists who explore the City of Light experience “Paris syndrome (巴黎综合征), a psychological condition that often results in nausea (恶心) and increased heart rates. An interesting phenomenon is that Paris syndrome is “most common among Japanese tourists”. Why?
Many Japanese visitors go with a deeply romantic picture of Paris — the beauty of French women, the high culture and art. But when the reality of the modern city of Paris sets in, with its seemingly unfriendly service and confusing public transport, some tourists simply find their hope falling through.
“An encounter with a Parisian waiter who shouts at customers might be laughed off by those from other Western cultures. But for the Japanese — used to a society where politeness is valued and voices are rarely raised in anger — the experience of their dream city turning into a nightmare can simply be too much,” said Rodanthi Tzanelli, a professor of cultural sociology.
So Paris syndrome should be regarded as an extreme form of culture shock, which is an illness resulting from the loss of meaning when people find themselves in a different symbolic reality, according to Rachel Irwin, a senior researcher. The symptoms associated with culture shock are similar to those experienced by someone who is feeling anxious. According to the analysis of Calm Clinic, a mental health resource platform, when someone is experiencing anxiety, signals that are related to the fight or flight response will be sent to the stomach. The signals change the way the body processes food, causing nausea.
Besides, Tzanelli points out that the syndrome is not specific to Paris and nobody can be free of culture shock as long as they go to new places. The syndrome is likely a “general phenomenon”, as younger generations tend to travel to different countries, and are likely to be more aware of what they’ll encounter at a destination. Therefore, they’re unlikely to be bitterly disappointed when they’re there.
8. Why do Japanese tourists experience great discomfort in Paris?
A. Paris lacks real historical and cultural hotspots.
B. Paris fails to meet their romantic expectations.
C. They find Paris’ public transport less modern.
D. They cannot adapt to the local climate.
9. What does Rodanthi Tzanelli aim to explain in paragraph 3?
A. How culture influences the behavior of tourists.
B. How Japanese tourists react to Paris syndrome.
C. Why Paris syndrome particularly strikes the Japanese.
D. Why the Japanese value politeness and avoid conflicts.
10. What conclusion about culture shock can be drawn from Rachel Irwin’s words?
A. It can be seen everywhere.
B. It leads to people’s mental illness.
C. It damages people’s sense of self-identity.
D. It’s due to conflicts between different cultural contexts.
11. What will be the author’s advice on overcoming Paris syndrome?
A. To be prepared for new encounters in advance.
B. To focus on the positive aspects of a destination.
C. To visit new places together with young people.
D. To avoid going to unfamiliar destinations.
D
Studying literature allows us to explore universal truths, which may deliver a lifetime sense of wellbeing. However, such benefits were sadly not enough to persuade Sheffield Hallam University to continue to offer an English literature degree to undergraduates. Amid falling demand for arts and humanities courses, the university is suspending the course. It follows a similar move by the University of Cumbria last year and cuts in humanities funding elsewhere.
This depressing trend is part of a wider pattern. The deliberate commercialisation of higher education is steadily reducing the value of a degree to the bottom line of what job and salary it unlocks. With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational (非职业的) course. Applications for English studies have fallen steadily since 2012, when the cap on tuition fees was lifted to £9,000.
Meanwhile, supposedly “dead end” university courses — those which fail to deliver an instant graduation premium in the job market — are coming under increasingly aggressive inspection. This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating.
The overall approach is both wrong-headed and shortsighted. As Mr. Graham points out, the arts and entertainment industry has become one of the few booming areas of the economy in which Britain can claim to be world-leading. Narrowing the humanities talent pool to a privileged group of students may be self-defeating. More importantly, it will sharply shrink the cultural horizons and options of those outside that elite (精英) group.
After a decade of marketisation, a seriously utilitarian (功利主义的) worldview is beginning to sweep over England’s higher education sector. But the inner quality and worth of a course cannot be fairly judged by reference to employment statistics and labour market outcomes. Sheffield Hallam’s decision must be a wake-up call for those concerned to preserve the future of the arts and humanities in our universities.
12. Why do underprivileged students hesitate at Arts and Humanities majors?
A. They enjoy taking vocational courses.
B. They may not make ends meet after graduation.
C. They don’t understand the value of literature.
D. They prefer a deliberate learning atmosphere.
13 What does the underlined word “premium” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Degree. B. Position. C. Reward. D. Procedure.
14. What outcome may the cut of Arts and Humanities courses bring to the non-elite?
A. Self-defeating qualities. B. A depressing job market.
C. World-leading talent pools. D. A narrowed cultural perspective.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Higher Education Sector: An Elite Game
B. Major Adjustment Policy: An Urgent Call
C. Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Major
D. Vocation and Marketisation: A Focused Trend

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every day, we speak to and spend time with the people who mean the most to us. However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections. ____16____. In sociology, these are known as our “weak ties”, referred to as such to differentiate them from our strong ties, like close friends and family members.
____17____. For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities.
“Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties. ____18____.”
Indeed, weak ties can give us a real mental health boost. A recent study done by Sprecher indicated people with wider connections of weak ties tend to be happier. ____19____. They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual.
Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties? ____20____. Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class.
A. The research involved students
B. You find yourself in a better mood
C. We just need to engage with other people
D. Weak ties can have a smaller effect than you might think
E. This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being
F. For example, you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store
G. Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information

Struck by her ___28___ to her father, the firefighters ___29___ a fundraiser, and within days, generous donations ____30____ in. But the story didn’t end there. A local medical equipment company, inspired by Jessica’s deeds, ____31____ with an incredible offer — they would donate a brand-new wheelchair.
This chain of kindness, ____32____ by a simple act of gratitude, transformed lives. As for Jessica, a good heart overcame ____33____ fortune.

My Best Teaching Experience
Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.
He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension.
To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.
续写要求:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A spark of surprise flashed across his face.

When I was seven, my father drove our old car to the edge of a cliff in California. The salt mist from the Pacific fogged the windshield. He pointed to the horizon and said, “This is where the world ends.” I believed him. The gray water seemed endless, blending sea and sky. Sea birds circled, their cries lost in the wind. I held the seat tightly, fearing the cliff would collapse. For weeks, I dreamt of falling, not a terrifying dive, but a gentle drift into the ocean’s embrace.
At twelve, I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography. Mrs. Wilkins showed us satellite images of Earth, a perfect blue planet. “There are no edges,” she assured us, tapping the globe. But that night, I dreamt of the cliff again, the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet.
Now at thirty-seven, I understand my father wasn’t lying. Every generation needs its own edge of the world, a place where certainty fades into wonder. Mine came when I held my newborn at 2: 17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love. My brother found his edge when the surgeon said “stage four.” The cliff still waits for others — the newly divorced, the recently bankrupt, the suddenly alone.
Last summer, I took my daughter to that same overlook. The side rail had faded, but she peered over the edge, her small hand holding mine. “Daddy,” she whispered, “what’s on the other side?” I thought of all the answers I could give — the science of ocean currents, the geography of distant shores, even Columbus’s certainty. Instead, I knelt beside her and said, “No one knows for sure. That’s why we keep looking.” The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below, carving new edges for new generations. Some truths aren’t meant to be taught, but discovered — often at the cliff edge of what we think we know. When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge, I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending, but as the first real question.
4. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph refers to a particular place where _________.
A. people enjoy the circling sea birds B. the boy underwent a terrifying falling
C. the sea and sky mix into one far away D. the father parked to let the boy feel the mist
5. Why did the author dream of the cliff again at twelve after the geography class?
A. The globe convinced him that cliffs were just harmless natural landscape.
B. The perfect blue satellite images triggered his memory of the cliff scenery.
C. The absence of edges of the Earth made him decide to visit the waves again.
D. The knowledge of borderless Earth went against his earlier belief of the cliff.
6. What does the “cliff” refer to in the author’s opinion?
A Important life moments that break certainty. B. Quality time you share with family members.
C. A geographic edge to recall childhood memory. D. All the miserable failures you have experienced.
7. What did the author imply when he replied to his daughter’s question in that way?
A. The waves were so noisy that they made any further conversation impossible.
B. His daughter was too young to understand the facts about currents or Columbus.
C. He wanted his daughter to keep exploring rather than accept ready-made answers.
D. Contemporary science has not provided reliable data about the ocean and the cliff.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在不同人生阶段对“世界边缘”的理解,以及这种理解如何影响他对生活和探索的看法。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“He pointed to the horizon and said, “This is where the world ends.” I believed him. The gray water seemed endless, blending sea and sky.(他指向天际说:“This is where the world ends.”我信了他的话。灰色的海水望不到边,海天融为一体。)”可知,This is where the world ends指的是海和天在远处融为一体的地方。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“At twelve, I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography. Mrs. Wilkins showed us satellite images of Earth, a perfect blue planet. “There are no edges,” she assured us, tapping the globe. But that night, I dreamt of the cliff again, the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet.(十二岁时,我站在明亮的教室里上地理课。威尔金斯夫人给我们展示了地球的卫星图像 —— 一颗完美的蓝色星球。“世界没有尽头。” 她点着地球仪,笃定地告诉我们。可那天夜里,我又梦到了那处悬崖,悬在半空的脚边,海浪像饥饿的猛兽般咆哮着。)”可知,作者十二岁时在地理课之后又梦到了悬崖,是因为地球无边界的知识与他之前对悬崖的信仰相悖。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Now at thirty-seven, I understand my father wasn’t lying. Every generation needs its own edge of the world, a place where certainty fades into wonder. Mine came when I held my newborn at 2: 17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love. My brother found his edge when the surgeon said “stage four.” The cliff still waits for others — the newly divorced, the recently bankrupt, the suddenly alone.(如今我三十七岁了,终于明白父亲没有说谎。每一代人都需要属于自己的 “世界尽头”,那是一个原本笃定的一切都消散,转而被未知填满的地方。我的 “世界尽头”,是在凌晨2点17分抱着我的新生儿,忽然意识到自己对爱一无所知的时刻。我哥哥的“世界尽头”,是医生说出“四期”的瞬间。这处悬崖还在等着其他人 —— 刚离婚的人、刚破产的人,或是骤然孤身一人的人。)”可知,作者认为“悬崖”指的是打破确定性的重要人生时刻。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Daddy,” she whispered, “what’s on the other side?” I thought of all the answers I could give — the science of ocean currents, the geography of distant shores, even Columbus’s certainty. Instead, I knelt beside her and said, “No one knows for sure. That’s why we keep looking.” The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below, carving new edges for new generations. Some truths aren’t meant to be taught, but discovered — often at the cliff edge of what we think we know. When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge, I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending, but as the first real question.(“爸爸,”她低声说,“那边是什么?”我想到了所有我能给出的答案——洋流的科学,遥远海岸的地理,甚至哥伦布的确定性。相反,我蹲在她身边说:‘没有人确切知道。这就是我们不断寻找的原因。’风把我们的声音带到了海上,海浪在下面继续着它们无尽的工作,为新一代雕刻新的边缘。有些真理不是用来教的,而是用来发现的——通常在我们自认为知道的悬崖边缘。当我女儿最终站在她自己的悬崖边缘时,我希望她记住这一刻不是一个结束,而是第一个真正的问题。)”可知,作者这样回答女儿的问题,是想让女儿不断探索,而不是接受现成的答案。故选C。
C
Paris is full of cultural significance. Yet, despite its wealth of cultural hotspots and architectural delights, some tourists who explore the City of Light experience “Paris syndrome (巴黎综合征), a psychological condition that often results in nausea (恶心) and increased heart rates. An interesting phenomenon is that Paris syndrome is “most common among Japanese tourists”. Why?
Many Japanese visitors go with a deeply romantic picture of Paris — the beauty of French women, the high culture and art. But when the reality of the modern city of Paris sets in, with its seemingly unfriendly service and confusing public transport, some tourists simply find their hope falling through.
“An encounter with a Parisian waiter who shouts at customers might be laughed off by those from other Western cultures. But for the Japanese — used to a society where politeness is valued and voices are rarely raised in anger — the experience of their dream city turning into a nightmare can simply be too much,” said Rodanthi Tzanelli, a professor of cultural sociology.
So Paris syndrome should be regarded as an extreme form of culture shock, which is an illness resulting from the loss of meaning when people find themselves in a different symbolic reality, according to Rachel Irwin, a senior researcher. The symptoms associated with culture shock are similar to those experienced by someone who is feeling anxious. According to the analysis of Calm Clinic, a mental health resource platform, when someone is experiencing anxiety, signals that are related to the fight or flight response will be sent to the stomach. The signals change the way the body processes food, causing nausea.
Besides, Tzanelli points out that the syndrome is not specific to Paris and nobody can be free of culture shock as long as they go to new places. The syndrome is likely a “general phenomenon”, as younger generations tend to travel to different countries, and are likely to be more aware of what they’ll encounter at a destination. Therefore, they’re unlikely to be bitterly disappointed when they’re there.
8. Why do Japanese tourists experience great discomfort in Paris?
A. Paris lacks real historical and cultural hotspots.
B. Paris fails to meet their romantic expectations.
C. They find Paris’ public transport less modern.
D. They cannot adapt to the local climate.
9. What does Rodanthi Tzanelli aim to explain in paragraph 3?
A How culture influences the behavior of tourists.
B. How Japanese tourists react to Paris syndrome.
C. Why Paris syndrome particularly strikes the Japanese.
D. Why the Japanese value politeness and avoid conflicts.
10. What conclusion about culture shock can be drawn from Rachel Irwin’s words?
A. It can be seen everywhere.
B. It leads to people’s mental illness.
C. It damages people’s sense of self-identity.
D. It’s due to conflicts between different cultural contexts.
11. What will be the author’s advice on overcoming Paris syndrome?
A. To be prepared for new encounters in advance.
B. To focus on the positive aspects of a destination.
C. To visit new places together with young people.
D. To avoid going to unfamiliar destinations.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“巴黎综合征”现象,解释了它为何在日本游客中尤为常见,并指出这是文化冲击的极端表现,而提前了解目的地有助于减轻这种不适。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many Japanese visitors go with a deeply romantic picture of Paris — the beauty of French women, the high culture and art. But when the reality of the modern city of Paris sets in, with its seemingly unfriendly service and confusing public transport, some tourists simply find their hope falling through. (许多日本游客带着对巴黎极度浪漫的想象前往——法国女性的美丽、高雅的文化和艺术。但当现代巴黎的现实浮现,包括看似不友好的服务和混乱的公共交通,一些游客发现他们的希望破灭了)”可知,日本游客在巴黎感到极度不适,是因为巴黎未能满足他们浪漫的期待。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Rodanthi Tzanelli所说的话“An encounter with a Parisian waiter who shouts at customers might be laughed off by those from other Western cultures. But for the Japanese — used to a society where politeness is valued and voices are rarely raised in anger — the experience of their dream city turning into a nightmare can simply be too much (遇到对顾客大喊大叫的巴黎服务员,其他西方文化背景的人可能一笑置之。但对日本人来说——他们习惯于一个重视礼貌、很少提高嗓门发怒的社会——梦想之城变成噩梦的经历可能让他们难以承受)”可知,Rodanthi Tzanelli旨在解释为什么巴黎综合征尤其影响日本人。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Rachel Irwin所说的话“So Paris syndrome should be regarded as an extreme form of culture shock, which is an illness resulting from the loss of meaning when people find themselves in a different symbolic reality (因此巴黎综合征应被视为文化冲击的极端形式,这是一种当人们发现自己处于不同的象征性现实中时因意义丧失而产生的病症)”可知,巴黎综合征是文化冲击的极端形式,游客所想象的和现实是不同的。由此推知,文化冲击源于不同文化背景之间的冲突。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The syndrome is likely a “general phenomenon”, as younger generations tend to travel to different countries, and are likely to be more aware of what they’ll encounter at a destination. Therefore, they’re unlikely to be bitterly disappointed when they’re there. (这种综合征可能是一种“普遍现象”,因为年轻一代倾向于去不同国家旅行,并且可能更清楚在目的地会遇到什么。因此,他们到达时不太可能极度失望)”可知,对目的地的实际有所了解会降低人们的失望。因此,作者的建议可能是提前为新的遭遇做好准备以克服巴黎综合征。故选A项。
D
Studying literature allows us to explore universal truths, which may deliver a lifetime sense of wellbeing. However, such benefits were sadly not enough to persuade Sheffield Hallam University to continue to offer an English literature degree to undergraduates. Amid falling demand for arts and humanities courses, the university is suspending the course. It follows a similar move by the University of Cumbria last year and cuts in humanities funding elsewhere.
This depressing trend is part of a wider pattern. The deliberate commercialisation of higher education is steadily reducing the value of a degree to the bottom line of what job and salary it unlocks. With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational (非职业的) course. Applications for English studies have fallen steadily since 2012, when the cap on tuition fees was lifted to £9,000.
Meanwhile, supposedly “dead end” university courses — those which fail to deliver an instant graduation premium in the job market — are coming under increasingly aggressive inspection. This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating.
The overall approach is both wrong-headed and shortsighted. As Mr. Graham points out, the arts and entertainment industry has become one of the few booming areas of the economy in which Britain can claim to be world-leading. Narrowing the humanities talent pool to a privileged group of students may be self-defeating. More importantly, it will sharply shrink the cultural horizons and options of those outside that elite (精英) group.
After a decade of marketisation, a seriously utilitarian (功利主义的) worldview is beginning to sweep over England’s higher education sector. But the inner quality and worth of a course cannot be fairly judged by reference to employment statistics and labour market outcomes. Sheffield Hallam’s decision must be a wake-up call for those concerned to preserve the future of the arts and humanities in our universities.
12. Why do underprivileged students hesitate at Arts and Humanities majors?
A. They enjoy taking vocational courses.
B. They may not make ends meet after graduation.
C. They don’t understand the value of literature.
D. They prefer a deliberate learning atmosphere.
13. What does the underlined word “premium” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Degree. B. Position. C. Reward. D. Procedure.
14. What outcome may the cut of Arts and Humanities courses bring to the non-elite?
A. Self-defeating qualities. B. A depressing job market.
C. World-leading talent pools. D. A narrowed cultural perspective.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Higher Education Sector: An Elite Game
B. Major Adjustment Policy: An Urgent Call
C. Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Major
D. Vocation and Marketisation: A Focused Trend
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了英国高校中艺术与人文学科面临的困境,指出功利主义趋势对教育领域的负面影响,呼吁重视并保护这些学科的价值。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational (非职业的) course.(随着背负超过10万英镑学生贷款的毕业生数量大幅增加,低收入家庭的年轻人对选择非职业性课程犹豫不决,这一点是可以理解的)”可知,贫困学生对文科和人文学科专业犹豫不决是因为他们毕业后可能入不敷出。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Meanwhile, supposedly “dead end” university courses — those which fail to deliver an instant graduation premium in the job market — are coming under increasingly aggressive inspection. This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating.(与此同时,那些被认为是“死胡同”的大学课程 —— 即无法让毕业生在就业市场立刻获得premium的课程 —— 正受到愈发严苛的审查。今年,英国学生事务办公室出台计划,将取消对“低质量”课程的资金支持,这类课程被定义为毕业后不久,就业率(进入优质工作岗位或继续深造)不足60%的课程)”可知,此处指那些在就业市场上无法立即为毕业生带来回报的课程正受到越来越严格的审查。因此,premium在此处意为“回报,好处”。A. Degree学位;B. Position职位;C. Reward回报;D. Procedure程序。故选C。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“More importantly, it will sharply shrink the cultural horizons and options of those outside that elite (精英) group.(更重要的是,这将极大地缩小精英群体之外人群的文化视野和选择)”可知,削减艺术与人文学科课程将导致非精英群体的文化视野变得狭窄。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段中“But the inner quality and worth of a course cannot be fairly judged by reference to employment statistics and labour market outcomes. Sheffield Hallam’s decision must be a wake-up call for those concerned to preserve the future of the arts and humanities in our universities.(但课程的内在质量和价值不能仅凭就业统计数据和劳动力市场结果来公平判断。谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学的决定必须给那些关心保护我们大学艺术和人文学科未来的人敲响警钟)”可知,本文主要讨论了英国高校中艺术与人文学科面临的困境,指出功利主义趋势对教育领域的负面影响,呼吁重视并保护这些学科的价值。因此,C项“Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Major(艺术与人文学科:必须保留的专业)”最符合文章主旨,适合作本文标题。故选C。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every day, we speak to and spend time with the people who mean the most to us. However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections. ____16____. In sociology, these are known as our “weak ties”, referred to as such to differentiate them from our strong ties, like close friends and family members.
____17____. For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities.
“Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties. ____18____.”
Indeed, weak ties can give us a real mental health boost. A recent study done by Sprecher indicated people with wider connections of weak ties tend to be happier. ____19____. They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual.
Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties? ____20____. Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class.
A. The research involved students
B. You find yourself in a better mood
C. We just need to engage with other people
D. Weak ties can have a smaller effect than you might think
E. This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being
F. For example, you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store
G. Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. E 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了社会学中的“弱连接”概念(指非亲密朋友或家人的人际关系),阐述了其在提供独特信息资源、促进心理健康等方面的作用,并给出建立弱连接的建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections.(然而,想一想在一个典型的星期里,你与之互动的人中有多少是你认为不亲密的人)”可知,上文提到了你认为不亲密的人,可推理出空白处在举例说明那些不亲密的人,与F项“For example, you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store(例如,你和经常在商店为你服务的人聊天)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities.(例如,如果你和一群亲密的朋友谈论你的求职,他们可能只知道和你一样的求职机会,因为你们在同一个圈子里。然而,如果你对一个熟人,比如一个经常为你服务的服务员提起这件事,就会把你和你社交圈之外的人联系起来,这可能会提供意想不到的工作机会)”可知,此处是在对比亲密关系和弱连接在信息获取上的不同,与G项“Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information(牢固的关系往往形成封闭的社会群体,导致新信息有限)”表达的含义一致,通过对比说明弱连接的优势,故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据上文““Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties (伊利诺伊州立大学的杰出教授苏珊·斯普雷彻说:“弱连接可以发挥亲密关系无法发挥的特殊功能,包括提供独特的信息和资源。”“此外,许多人一天中与弱连接的互动比与亲密关系的互动更多”)”可知,此处是在说明弱连接的好处,与E项“This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being(这种多样化的社交网络与良好的健康和幸福有关)”表达的含义一致,进一步阐述弱连接带来的积极影响,故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual.(他们报告说,在与比平时更多的同学互动的日子里,他们感到更快乐,更有归属感)”可知,此处是在说明研究的对象,与A项“The research involved students(这项研究涉及学生)”表达的含义一致,引出下文对研究结果的描述,故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties?(鉴于它们对我们的生活有如此大的影响,为什么不建立弱连接呢?)”以及下文“Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class.(通常,这意味着走出去和别人交谈,无论是你在街上遇到的人,在商店里为你服务的人,还是和你一起上课的人)”可知,此处是在说明建立弱连接的方法,与C项“We just need to engage with other people(我们仅仅需要和其他人交往即可)”表达的含义一致,承接上文的问题,引出下文具体的做法,故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国“早茶”的传统、历史、海外传播及现代发展。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国的“早茶”是一种社交传统,人们聚在一起喝茶、吃点心,进行社交、做生意或只是放松。本句谓语为gather,此处为非谓语动词,用socialize“社交”的不定式,作目的状语。故填to socialize。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:对许多中国家庭来说,早茶不仅仅是一顿饭,它是一种加强家庭纽带的方式。more than表示“不仅仅”,为固定短语。故填than。
【38题详解】
考查语态。句意:剑桥大学的访问学者杨欢解释说,早茶的起源可以追溯到明清时期。trace back to“追溯到”与主语the roots of morning tea之间是被动关系,用be traced表被动,与情态动词can构成含情态动词的被动语态。故填be traced。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:它结合了饮茶和早餐,以茶馆和小餐馆为饮食、休息和社交的场所,这是一种既有烹饪意义又有社会意义的早晨习惯。本空处作介词as的宾语,用名词combination,表示“结合”。故填combination。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它结合了饮茶和早餐,以茶馆和小餐馆为饮食、休息和社交的场所,这是一种既有烹饪意义又有社会意义的早晨习惯。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a morning habit,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:随着华人社区在国外定居,早茶也随之传播开来。community“社区”是可数名词,此处表示不止一个社区,用复数形式,作As的宾语。故填communities。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:海外餐馆重现了围坐在热气腾腾的竹制点心篮旁的仪式,经常根据当地口味调整口味——例如,提供奶酪馅虾饺和传统虾饺。本空处作状语,逻辑主语Overseas restaurants与adapt“调整”之间是主动关系,用现在分词。故填adapting。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:到21世纪初,早茶已经远远超出了唐人街的范围,进入了伦敦的现代餐饮界。move“发展,拓展,传播”。根据时间状语By the early 21st century可知,时态用过去完成时,谓语用had moved。故填had moved。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:高端中餐厅现在以具有国际影响力的风格呈现点心:黑松露烧麦、煎鹅肝米卷和其他创意菜肴与传统美食相得益彰,吸引了越来越多的英国食客。本空修饰名词style,用形容词influential,表示“有影响力的”,作定语。故填influential。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:高端中餐厅现在以具有国际影响力的风格呈现点心:黑松露烧麦、煎鹅肝米卷和其他创意菜肴与传统美食相得益彰,吸引了越来越多的英国食客。a number of表示“许多”,ever-growing是元音音素开头,因此用不定冠词an。故填an。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My Best Teaching Experience
Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.
He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension.
To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.
续写要求:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A spark of surprise flashed across his face.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. At last he came, walking with his hands in his pockets. That image immediately brought back memories of the boy throwing a tantrum in class the other day. Yet I managed to restrain my anger this time. These past few days, I had been building a wall between us with blame and punishment, so I thought to myself that maybe I should try another way. “I want to apologize for the quarrel that we had in the middle of class, and I’m really sorry if it hurt your feelings,” I said, finally breaking the ice.
A spark of surprise flashed across his face. The naughty boy froze there, staring at me with wide eyes. It was clear that he had never heard an apology from a teacher before. “It is I who should say sorry,” he murmured, his face burning with shame, “I should have learned to control myself.” With a smile, I stepped forward and patted him on his shoulder, signaling to him to go back to his seat. In the days that followed, Tyler didn’t misbehave in class anymore and took an active part in class discussions. I had never expected “understanding” could make such a huge difference — it turned one of my worst teaching experiences into perhaps the best one.
