第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
What happens when we try foreign dishes for the first time? More often than not it is like finding ourselves in circumstances different from what is comfortably familiar. We hesitate and declare them unacceptable. Yet there are no universal standards for good cuisine (烹饪);there’s only badly cooked food. We may not like some foreign dishes but that has nothing to do with their being inferior or superior. It has everything to do with how removed they are from what we know.
A few years back I wasn’t particularly fond of Indian dishes with their strong spices. Then an Indian family moved in next door and I immediately became friends with the lady. Being very friendly people, they kept asking me over. Seeing as I had no choice, I gave in, went over and waited in horror. They served a lot of strange-looking dishes, whose aroma (香味) was inviting enough for me to sample them. And I felt sorry I did. My tongue felt like it was on fire! But I saw it through to the end so as not to endanger our neighbourly relationship. Needless to say, I was asked to come back for more. It took a few months, but I have actually come to love some hot Indian curries and overly honeyed desserts.
In contrast, American steaks and burgers now strike me as downright dull, although I used to love them. Then there’s Japanese cuisine, which I associated with a smelly sushi bar next door until I went on a trip to Japan. I was served dishes of suspicious smell day in day out and, although they didn’t seem particularly delicious, upon my return home I found myself repeatedly wandering into that sushi bar around the corner. The smell I had thought terribly fishy before now seemed familiar and mouth-watering.
In short, I have acquired the taste for some foreign dishes but not for all the food of any particular cuisine. In a way, the ability to acquire the taste for new foods has to do with a person’s ability to accept a culture. The ‘acquired taste’ for food goes beyond a taste bud (味蕾) experience. It has a lot to do with what a person associates the food with, like friendly neighbours or a memorable journey. Similarly, many of us find our mother’s cooking incomparable. But that isn’t necessarily because of our mother’s superior kitchen skills but because we associate her cooking with the warmth of home.
41. According to the author, what determines whether we like foreign dishes?
A. Universal standards of good cuisine
B. The price and presentation of the food
C. The skill of the chef who prepares them
D. How different they are from what we know.
42. Why did the author eventually enjoy Indian curries despite initial discomfort?
A. The dishes became less spicy over time.
B. Repeated exposure helped him adapt to the flavors.
C. The neighbor’s persistence made it impossible to refuse.
D. He discovered superior cooking methods in Indian cuisine.
43. Why does the author mention his neighbor’s sushi bar in Japan?
A. To criticize the hygiene standards of foreign restaurants.
B. To show how familiarity can change perceptions of food.
C. To illustrate that Japanese cuisine is universally superior.
D. To highlight the importance of trying raw fish dishes.
44. According to the last paragraph, acquiring new tastes ______ .
A. is a sign of how open-minded a person is
B. depends on how sensitive your taste buds are
C. is like acquiring various cooking knowledge
D. becomes easier if your mother isn’t a great cook
45. Which statement best summarizes the overall message of the article?
A. Travelling is the best way to acquire new tastes.
B. The smells and sight of food are often misleading.
C. The stranger the food, the more difficult it is to like it.
D. Experiences are crucial in determining food preferences.
B
Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.
This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.
You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.
The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.
We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring innovative solutions.
Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.
46. What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams?
A. They cause chaos. B. They damage immunity.
C. They reveal secrets. D. They mirror reality.
47. Why is the sleep process explained in Paragraph 3?
A To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.
B. To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.
C. To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.
D. To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.
48. Which of the following statements is true according to the author?
A. Deep sleep is one of the stages of REM sleep.
B. Adequate REM sleep contributes to a better memory.
C. A sound sleep without dreams brings about stable emotions.
D. The longer we sleep, the less time we spend in REM.
49. What conclusion can be inferred from Paragraph 5?
A. Dreaming promotes creativity.
B. Dreaming helps fight depression.
C. The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.
D. The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.
50. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of sleep lies in dreams.
B. The absence of dreams is terrible for us.
C. Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.
D. Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.
C
Courage is a highly admired virtue. When asked to describe courage, most people conjure up (脑中浮现) the image of an individual running into a burning building, or maybe a hero saving the world. But there's another form of bravery that's much more important because it comes up more often. It's called moral courage.
Moral courage is the ability that allows us to face our fears and to conquer our darkest fears. It’s the ability to face the future without knowing what is certain. It’s the ability to stand tall and confront those who oppose us, those who prevent us from realizing who we are and what we are. But most importantly, it’s the ability to stand up for what’s right, even though there are risks that stand in your way. Sara Anderson once said that "It takes great courage to faithfully follow what we know to be true."
The potential of showing moral courage has the power of changing the world. It was because of the moral courage that Mahatma Gandhi was able to make India free from British rule. He fought bravely against them without the use of any weapon by presenting great moral courage. In this way, he also became a great example for the people of the whole world. It is not that we remember Gandhi because of his body or beauty. We remember him because of the great ideas and principles of his life.
Moral courage is essential not only for a noble life but a happy one. Without moral courage, we have no control over our lives. Our fears destroy our spirit and make us trapped in depression. Mark Twain said, “Courage is not the absence of fear but the resistance of fear, the mastery of fear.” If our fears cause us to lose confidence in the power of virtue, we will lose something very precious.
People with moral courage rarely get medals, but it is the best marker of true character and a virtue others can be proud of. We must try to develop the power of moral courage that will surely help in ending injustice and wrong and grant us a better world.
51. What is the main function of Paragraph 1?
A. To make a comparison.
B. To propose a definition.
C. To introduce the subject.
D. To provide the background.
52. In the author’s view, moral courage is not _________.
A. the willingness to face and conquer fears
B. the capacity to stick to what is right
C. the ability to confront opponents
D. the desire to control whoever opposes you
53. What does the example of Mahatma Gandhi tell us?
A. Moral courage can make a difference to the world.
B. Moral courage makes people faithfully follow the truth.
C. Moral courage is essential for leading a happy life.
D. Moral courage restricts great ideas and principles.
54. What can be inferred from Mark Twain’s words?
A. Courage is being brave without any fear.
B. Courage is a spirit to overcome the fear.
C. Having a fear can limit our future lives.
D. Fear can stop us from achieving our goals.
55. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. To end injustice and wrong.
B. To pursue excellent virtues.
C. To strengthen moral courage.
D. To create a better world.

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
I remembered an incident when I was a teenage girl clearly. Once, I was travelling by train with my mom and my elder sister to visit my grandparents in another city. It was a day journey and we entered the ladies compartment(车室)of the train. It was crowded but we got seats and settled down. We kept our luggage under the seats and waited for the train to start.
Ladies kept on coming inside. The seats were quickly taken. Only one seat was empty when a woman with a baby entered. She was about to go over to the empty place when a big and strong man entered and walked to the seat quickly, sitting down with a thump(重击声). Therefore, the lady with the child held on to her bag and stood in the corner. I was watching all this angrily. I expected the woman standing there or any of the other ladies to speak out to ask the man to leave the ladies compartment.
However, no one spoke. My mom and my sister had their eyes shut to rest, unaware of anything wrong. I decided I could not disturb them. I could have offered my place but I was already squashed(挤扁)between my mom and my sister.
The train started. The woman standing beside the man was swaying(摇摆) to and fro with the train, with the screaming child in her arms. However, the manner-less man had no reaction. I was furious with the man for his bad behavior. I could no longer bear it, so I decided to help the woman in some way. I got up and walked calmly over to the man. I asked him if he could read. He made a bad face and said he could. Next, I asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat. He did so and saw “Ladies”on it. He got the point and left the compartment in a big hurry, almost falling.

第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
What happens when we try foreign dishes for the first time? More often than not it is like finding ourselves in circumstances different from what is comfortably familiar. We hesitate and declare them unacceptable. Yet there are no universal standards for good cuisine (烹饪);there’s only badly cooked food. We may not like some foreign dishes but that has nothing to do with their being inferior or superior. It has everything to do with how removed they are from what we know.
A few years back I wasn’t particularly fond of Indian dishes with their strong spices. Then an Indian family moved in next door and I immediately became friends with the lady. Being very friendly people, they kept asking me over. Seeing as I had no choice, I gave in, went over and waited in horror. They served a lot of strange-looking dishes, whose aroma (香味) was inviting enough for me to sample them. And I felt sorry I did. My tongue felt like it was on fire! But I saw it through to the end so as not to endanger our neighbourly relationship. Needless to say, I was asked to come back for more. It took a few months, but I have actually come to love some hot Indian curries and overly honeyed desserts.
In contrast, American steaks and burgers now strike me as downright dull, although I used to love them. Then there’s Japanese cuisine, which I associated with a smelly sushi bar next door until I went on a trip to Japan. I was served dishes of suspicious smell day in day out and, although they didn’t seem particularly delicious, upon my return home I found myself repeatedly wandering into that sushi bar around the corner. The smell I had thought terribly fishy before now seemed familiar and mouth-watering.
In short, I have acquired the taste for some foreign dishes but not for all the food of any particular cuisine. In a way, the ability to acquire the taste for new foods has to do with a person’s ability to accept a culture. The ‘acquired taste’ for food goes beyond a taste bud (味蕾) experience. It has a lot to do with what a person associates the food with, like friendly neighbours or a memorable journey. Similarly, many of us find our mother’s cooking incomparable. But that isn’t necessarily because of our mother’s superior kitchen skills but because we associate her cooking with the warmth of home.
41. According to the author, what determines whether we like foreign dishes?
A. Universal standards of good cuisine
B. The price and presentation of the food
C. The skill of the chef who prepares them
D. How different they are from what we know.
42. Why did the author eventually enjoy Indian curries despite initial discomfort?
A. The dishes became less spicy over time.
B. Repeated exposure helped him adapt to the flavors.
C. The neighbor’s persistence made it impossible to refuse.
D. He discovered superior cooking methods in Indian cuisine.
43. Why does the author mention his neighbor’s sushi bar in Japan?
A. To criticize the hygiene standards of foreign restaurants.
B. To show how familiarity can change perceptions of food.
C. To illustrate that Japanese cuisine is universally superior.
D. To highlight the importance of trying raw fish dishes.
44. According to the last paragraph, acquiring new tastes ______ .
A. is a sign of how open-minded a person is
B. depends on how sensitive your taste buds are
C. is like acquiring various cooking knowledge
D. becomes easier if your mother isn’t a great cook
45. Which statement best summarizes the overall message of the article?
A. Travelling is the best way to acquire new tastes.
B. The smells and sight of food are often misleading.
C. The stranger the food, the more difficult it is to like it.
D. Experiences are crucial in determining food preferences.
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. B 44. A 45. D

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是人们对外国菜肴的喜好由其与熟知食物的差异、个人经历及文化接受度决定。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We may not like some foreign dishes but that has nothing to do with their being inferior or superior. It has everything to do with how removed they are from what we know. (我们可能不喜欢某些外国菜肴,但这与它们的优劣无关。这完全取决于它们与我们所熟悉的食物有多大的差异。)”可知,作者认为决定是否喜欢外国菜肴的关键是其与已知食物的差异程度。故选D项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It took a few months, but I have actually come to love some hot Indian curries and overly honeyed desserts. (过了几个月,但我实际上已经开始喜欢一些辣的印度咖喱和过于甜腻的甜点了。)”结合前文多次尝试邻居家印度菜的经历可知,反复接触使作者适应了印度菜的风味。故选B项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The smell I had thought terribly fishy before now seemed familiar and mouth-watering. (我以前觉得极其腥气的味道现在似乎变得熟悉且令人垂涎。)”可知,作者通过多次体验日本料理,对其看法从排斥变为喜爱,说明熟悉感会改变对食物的认知。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In a way, the ability to acquire the taste for new foods has to do with a person’s ability to accept a culture. (在某种程度上,培养对新食物的喜好的能力与一个人接受一种文化的能力有关。)”可知,接受新口味体现了一个人的开放心态。故选A项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In short, I have acquired the taste for some foreign dishes but not for all the food of any particular cuisine. In a way, the ability to acquire the taste for new foods has to do with a person’s ability to accept a culture. The ‘acquired taste’ for food goes beyond a taste bud (味蕾) experience. It has a lot to do with what a person associates the food with, like friendly neighbours or a memorable journey. (简而言之,我已经逐渐喜欢上一些外国菜肴,但并非对某一特定菜系的所有食物都感兴趣。在某种程度上,培养对新食物的喜好的能力与一个人接受不同文化的能力有关。对食物的 “后天喜好” 超越了单纯的味蕾体验,它与一个人将食物与某些事物的关联密切相关,比如友好的邻居或一次难忘的旅程。)”以及上文作者的个人经历可知,全文通过作者的亲身经历,强调对食物的喜好并非由食物本身优劣决定,而是与个人经历、文化关联密切(如邻居的友好、旅行的记忆)。故选D项。
B
Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.
This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.
You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.
The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.
We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring innovative solutions.
Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.
46. What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams?
A. They cause chaos. B. They damage immunity.
C. They reveal secrets. D. They mirror reality.
47. Why is the sleep process explained in Paragraph 3?
A. To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.
B. To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.
C. To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.
D. To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.
48. Which of the following statements is true according to the author?
A. Deep sleep is one of the stages of REM sleep.
B. Adequate REM sleep contributes to a better memory.
C. A sound sleep without dreams brings about stable emotions.
D. The longer we sleep, the less time we spend in REM.
49. What conclusion can be inferred from Paragraph 5?
A. Dreaming promotes creativity.
B. Dreaming helps fight depression.
C. The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.
D. The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.
50. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of sleep lies in dreams.
B. The absence of dreams is terrible for us.
C. Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.
D. Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. A 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了睡眠中做梦的重要性和各种好处,以及不做梦给我们带来的损害,告诉我们要重视睡眠模式。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. (根据卡尔·荣格的说法,梦揭示了在清醒意识中隐藏的一定数量的现实)”可知,卡尔·荣格认为梦反映事实。故选D。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. (你可能认为这只是睡眠问题,但做梦与夜间休息是分不开的)”以及“The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM. (我们睡得越久,快速眼动阶段的时间就越长,这就是为什么我们早上醒来时经常做梦。然而,如果我们的睡眠时间少于7小时,就很难达到这种水平的快速眼动)”可知,做梦时长与睡眠时长有直接关系,睡眠时长过短就无法做梦。由此推知,第三段解释睡眠过程是为了证明做梦问题和睡眠问题是联系在一起的。故选C。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories. (一项研究表明,如果不让老鼠有足够的REM(快速眼动)睡眠,也就是我们做梦的阶段,老鼠就不能加强记忆)”可知,充足的快速眼动睡眠有助于提高记忆力。故选B。

(例如,2021年的一项研究表明,与安静休息和非快速眼动睡眠相比,快速眼动睡眠促进了联想网络的形成和非关联信息的整合。经历了更多快速眼动睡眠的志愿者更善于解决需要创造性解决方案的问题)”可知,做梦促进形成联想网络、整合非关联信息,让人更善于提出创造性解决方案。由此可知,做梦能促进创造力。故选A。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways. (虽然荣格的神秘主义理论是有争议的,但他对做梦的重要性的认识并没有错。越来越多的报告显示,持续缺乏做梦正在从很多方面损害我们清醒的时间)”可知,文章在第一段指出做梦很重要,做梦的缺乏会给我们带来损害。第二段介绍缺少做梦会对我们的免疫系统、新陈代谢和记忆造成损害,第三段解释做梦和睡眠的关系,第四段表明睡眠和做梦结合起来可以起到稳定情绪的作用,第五段说明我们正以许多方式为缺乏做梦付出代价。由此可知,文章主要讲了不做梦对于我们来说是可怕的。故选B。

Courage is a highly admired virtue. When asked to describe courage most people conjure up (脑中浮现) the image of an individual running into a burning building, or maybe a hero saving the world. But there's another form of bravery that's much more important because it comes up more often. It's called moral courage.
Moral courage is the ability that allows us to face our fears and to conquer our darkest fears. It’s the ability to face the future without knowing what is certain. It’s the ability to stand tall and confront those who oppose us, those who prevent us from realizing who we are and what we are. But most importantly, it’s the ability to stand up for what’s right, even though there are risks that stand in your way. Sara Anderson once said that "It takes great courage to faithfully follow what we know to be true."
The potential of showing moral courage has the power of changing the world. It was because of the moral courage that Mahatma Gandhi was able to make India free from British rule. He fought bravely against them without the use of any weapon by presenting great moral courage. In this way, he also became a great example for the people of the whole world. It is not that we remember Gandhi because of his body or beauty. We remember him because of the great ideas and principles of his life.
Moral courage is essential not only for a noble life, but a happy one. Without moral courage, we have no control over our lives. Our fears destroy our spirit and make us trapped in depression. Mark Twain said, “Courage is not the absence of fear but the resistance of fear, the mastery of fear.” If our fears cause us to lose confidence in the power of virtue, we will lose something very precious.
People with moral courage rarely get medals, but it is the best marker of true character and a virtue others can be proud of. We must try to develop the power of moral courage that will surely help in ending injustice and wrong and grant us a better world.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
I remembered an incident when I was a teenage girl clearly. Once, I was travelling by train with my mom and my elder sister to visit my grandparents in another city. It was a day journey and we entered the ladies compartment(车室)of the train. It was crowded but we got seats and settled down. We kept our luggage under the seats and waited for the train to start.
Ladies kept on coming inside. The seats were quickly taken. Only one seat was empty when a woman with a baby entered. She was about to go over to the empty place when a big and strong man entered and walked to the seat quickly, sitting down with a thump(重击声). Therefore, the lady with the child held on to her bag and stood in the corner. I was watching all this angrily. I expected the woman standing there or any of the other ladies to speak out to ask the man to leave the ladies compartment.
However, no one spoke. My mom and my sister had their eyes shut to rest, unaware of anything wrong. I decided I could not disturb them. I could have offered my place but I was already squashed(挤扁)between my mom and my sister.
The train started. The woman standing beside the man was swaying(摇摆) to and fro with the train, with the screaming child in her arms. However, the manner-less man had no reaction. I was furious with the man for his bad behavior. I could no longer bear it, so I decided to help the woman in some way. I got up and walked calmly over to the man. I asked him if he could read. He made a bad face and said he could. Next, I asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat. He did so and saw “Ladies”on it. He got the point and left the compartment in a big hurry, almost falling.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和母亲以及姐姐坐火车去看祖父母,在火车上看到一个男人走进了女士车厢,并把最后一个空位占了,导致一个带着孩子的女士只能站着,作者很生气,最后她想办法提醒了那位男士这是女士车厢,让他羞愧离去。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Once, I was travelling by train with my mom and my elder sister to visit my grandparents in another city.(有一次,我和妈妈、姐姐坐火车去另一个城市看望爷爷奶奶)”可知,作者要去看望祖父母,所以才坐火车。故填She went to visit grandparents.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“She was about to go over to the empty place when a big and strong man entered and walked to the seat quickly, sitting down with a thump. Therefore, the lady with the child held on to her bag and stood in the corner.(她正要走到那个空位子上,这时一个高大强壮的男人走了进来,迅速走到座位前,砰的一声坐了下来。因此,带孩子的女士抓住她的包站在角落里)”可知,一个男人坐了车厢里的最后一个空位,所以带着孩子的女士只能站在角落里。故填A man took the last empty seat.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据最后一段中“However, the manner-less man had no reaction.(然而,这个无礼的人没有任何反应)”以及“I could no longer bear it, so I decided to help the woman in some way.(我再也无法忍受了,所以我决定以某种方式帮助那个女人)”可推知,作者不能忍受男人的无礼行为,所以她是很生气的,可推出furious是“生气”之意,和angry意思相近。故填Angry。
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“I got up and walked calmly over to the man. I asked him if he could read. He made a bad face and said he could. Next, I asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat.

He got the point and left the compartment in a big hurry, almost falling.(我站起来,平静地向那个人走去。我问他是否识字。他做了个鬼脸,说他可以。接下来,我让他读了写在椅背上的字。他照做了,看到上面写着“女士们”。他明白了,匆忙地离开了车厢,差点摔倒)”可知,作者要求男人看椅背上的字,让他意识到这是女士车厢。故填She asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat.

She cared about the woman with a baby and was the only one who reminded men of their mistakes.

【答案】One possible version:
Good morning, everyone!
Today, I’d like to share my thoughts on the quote by Epictetus: “No man is free who is not master of himself.” To me, this means true freedom comes from self-control — the ability to manage your impulses, emotions, and choices, rather than being ruled by them.
I learned this lesson last semester during exam season. At first, I kept putting off revision to play online games, telling myself “I’ll study later.” But as the test drew closer, I felt anxious and unprepared. Finally, I decided to take control: I set a strict schedule, turned off my phone, and stuck to it. The result? Not only did I do well, but I also felt calm and proud — because I had mastered myself, not the other way around.
This quote has deeply influenced me. It reminds me that discipline isn’t a cage — it’s the key to real freedom. When we control ourselves, we gain the power to shape our lives.
Thank you!
