There was a steady calmness in him that naturally inspired trust. The first time my daughter, Lila, saw Jasper, she stopped mid-step, pointed her tiny finger, and whispered, “Horsey.” Mr. Taylor waved us over. Jasper lowered his great head and Lila pressed her cheek against his nose and giggled (咯咯地笑). From that day forward, Lila wanted to see Jasper every chance she got. Their bond grew deeper. That’s why the knock on my door one evening surprised me so much. It was Mr. Taylor. His face carried a tightness I’d never seen before. “I think,” he began carefully, “that you should take Lila to see a doctor. I know this will sound strange, but Jasper’s been behaving differently around her. He sniffs (嗅) at her constantly. Jasper is a therapy-trained horse. He’s been trained to sense things...changes in people’s health, emotions, sometimes even illnesses.” He paused. “I’ve seen him do this before, with people who were later diagnosed (诊断) with serious conditions.” I stared at him. Part of me wanted to laugh it off. Horses didn’t diagnose illnesses — doctors did. Maybe Mr. Taylor was overreacting. I thanked him and closed the door. For the next two days, a persistent voice reminded me of Jasper’s strange behavior. Finally, I took Lila to the doctor. The appointment began routinely, but then came extra tests. When the doctor came back, his expression told everything before he spoke. “I’m sorry,” he said gently. “The tests show signs of cancer.” The months that followed were the hardest of our lives. And through it all, there was Jasper. He seemed to know just how to behave. He’d lower his great head so she could stroke him without much effort. He stood guard while Lila rested in the straw. It was as if he carried some of her burden for her. There were moments when I truly believed she fought harder because Jasper was waiting for her. He gave her comfort that no doctor, no parent, could provide. After months of treatment, the doctors finally gave us the news we had been desperate to hear: She was getting better. Lila was weak, but she was winning. And I knew that without Jasper — and without Mr. Taylor’s warning — we might never have caught it early enough. 24. Why did Mr. Taylor visit the author one night? A. To check on Lila’s health condition. B. To voice his concerns about Lila’s health. C. To discuss whether to keep Lila off Jasper. D. To ask for help with Jasper’s strange behavior. 25. How did the author initially react to Mr. Taylor’s warning? A. She did not care. B. She argued with him. C She asked him for proof. D. She relied on his judgment. 26 How did Jasper support Lila during her treatment? A. He acted funny to ease her pain. B. He stood guard to keep visitors away. C. He signaled her change to her mother. D. He offered unusual emotional comfort. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Wisdom begins where prejudice ends. B. Loyalty often grows in the soil of trust. C. Wonders can arrive in unexpected forms. D. Courage grows when faced with hardships. C Today’s digital world brings a challenge: distinguishing between human-made and AI-generated content. For example, AI can create fake images or spread false information, which causes serious concerns. To address this, researchers are exploring a new technique called AI watermarking. AI watermarking is the process of embedding (嵌入) a recognizable, unique signal into the output of an AI model, such as text or an image, to identify that content as AI-generated. Ideally, an AI watermark should be invisible to the human eye, but easily found by specialized software or computer algorithms (算法). A generative AI model that uses watermarking can be employed like any other one, but model output will clearly indicate that it was created using AI. Effective AI watermarking should avoid reducing model performance, resist efforts to forge (伪造), remove or change it, and work well with various model architectures. For example, the system might be more likely to choose certain rare words or sequences that a human writer would be unlikely to produce. To an end user, the text generated by the model would still look completely random. This technique is created during model training by teaching the model to embed a specific signal or identifier in generated content, such as a textual watermark hidden in a sentence generated by a large language model or a visual watermark hidden in the output of an image generator. This process usually involves making small changes to the model during the training stage. After model training and use, specialized algorithms detect the presence of the watermark embedded earlier, thereby checking whether a piece of media was generated by AI. For example, an algorithm might analyze an image’s pixels (像素) to detect hidden patterns. Similar to a physical watermark on paper currency, AI watermarks serve as digital signatures that can demonstrate the origin of a piece of media. Social media networks, news organizations and other online platforms could use them to indicate to readers that a piece of content was created using AI. Adding a disclaimer label to a post that contains an AI-generated image could help stop attempts to spread disinformation, for example. Unfortunately, current AI watermarking techniques are unreliable and relatively easy to bypass. Developing long-lasting AI watermarks that not even determined attackers can remove remains an open research problem. One significant issue is that watermarks are often easy to remove, particularly in text. There’s also the problem of “false positives”, where human-made content is wrongly identified as AI-generated. Finding the right balance is key: a watermark that’s too obvious might make the content unnatural, while one that’s too light could be easily missed or removed. As AI technology advances, improving watermarking techniques remains an important task. 28. Which of the following models uses effective AI watermarking? A. A file with a retyped watermark. B. A high-definition photo labeled “AI”. C. A video with a removable “AI sticker”. D. A text with certain patterns every few lines. 29. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To provide a technical guide. B. To compare the AI techniques. C. To explain the technical principle. D. To describe the evolution of techniques. 30. What can we learn about AI watermarks from the passage? A. They are helpful in making texts read naturally. B. They push people to use more disclaimer labels. C. Developing durable and unremovable ones is still a goal. D. False positives appear when they are too obvious or light. D “If I wouldn’t invite someone into my house, I shouldn’t let them into my head.” But that’s easier said than done. Social media has opened up our heads so that just about any trespasser can wander in. The real problem isn’t technology — it’s human nature. We are wired to care about what others think of us. As the ancient Roman Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius observed, “We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own,” whether they are friends, strangers, or enemies. This tendency may be natural, but if we were perfectly logical beings, we would understand that our fears about what other people think are overblown. Other people’s influence on our opinions about the world pales in comparison to their influence on our opinion of ourselves. Evolution neatly explains why: Before the modern structures of civilization, being cast out from our group meant certain death from cold or starvation. This can easily explain why our sense of well-being includes others’ approval, as well as why the human brain has evolved to activate the same feelings when we experience physical pain and when we face social rejection. Unfortunately, the instinct to seek the approval of others is extremely out of step with modern life and can drive us round the bend if we let it. Today you might suffer severe anxiety that strangers online will “cancel” you for an ill-considered remark, or passers-by will take a photo of a poor outfit choice and laugh at it on social media for all to see. One reason we fear others’ opinions is because negative assessments can lead to shame, which is the feeling of being considered worthless, incompetent or dishonorable. People will go to a lot of effort to avoid shame, which can explain behaviors such as virtue signaling on social media. Just because our overconcern for others’ opinions of us is natural doesn’t mean it’s unavoidable. The right goal is not a complete disregard for the opinions of others. That would be abnormal and dangerous; this tendency could be evidence of antisocial personality disorder. Many of us could become better off if we learned to care a good deal less than we do. The amusing thing about feeling bad about ourselves because of what people might think of us is that others actually have much fewer opinions about us — positive or negative — than we imagine. Next time you feel ill at ease in social situations, you can safely assume that everyone around you is doing more or less the same. As is said, “Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner.” As the years have passed, I have come to interpret it as more of a promise and an opportunity. I have learned that the prison of others’ approval is actually one built by me and guarded by me. Therefore, if you are stuck in the prison of shame and judgment, remember that you hold the key. 31. Why does the author mention Marcus Aurelius in Paragraph 2? A. To tell logic usually goes with human nature. B. To show we often prioritize others’ needs over ours. C. To propose one is overconcerned with others’ views. D. To imply social media can deepen our inner conflict. 32. What does “drive us round the bend” underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Make us feel very annoyed. B. Leave us rather confused. C. Lead us to a wrong path. D. Motivate us to improve. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Ignoring others’ views makes us better. B. Shame originates from human evolution. C. Outside voices impact our world outlook more. D. Knowing others feel the same can ease bad emotions. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A No One Cares B. Approval Matters C. The Prison of Shame D. The Nature of Judgment 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm. ___35___ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand. Modern life demands a constant handling of responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. ___36___ Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ___37___ Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations. Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ___38___ This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others. The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ___39___ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward. A. It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once. B. To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view. C. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others. D. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle. E. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people. F. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them. G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） Harry and his brother Walter were called to the lawyer’s office after their grandmother passed away. When their grandfather died five years ago, all of his wealth went to his beloved wife. So Walter was expecting everything to go to them now. Harry and Walter were very different. Harry chose to strike out on his own. Meanwhile, Walter always had his eyes on the prize. When their parents died, Walter knew staying close to his grandparents would one day get him the inheritance. Before their grandmother’s death, she asked them for one thing: “My dear grandsons, all I ask is for you to rebuild this house in your grandfather’s memory. I promised him that this house would be passed on from generation to generation.” she said from her deathbed. Harry and Walter nodded. That day in the lawyer’s office, it was clear who had their grandmother’s interest at heart. “Your grandmother leaves to both of you her house. That is all that is in her will,” the lawyer told them. “That can’t be! What about all her money?” Walter shouted. “She had already closed her bank account before she died. This is all she had left,” the lawyer explained. Walter stormed outside. “We need to fulfill grandma’s wish,” Harry told his brother. “I don’t want anything to do with that house,” Walter screamed. Harry decided to use his savings and borrow additional funding to rebuild the house. While fixing the sewage system in the front lawn, he noticed a wooden hatch. It led to an underground room where he discovered a letter from his grandfather. It read: “To my grandson, You reading this means you’ve fulfilled it. Now, take this letter and show it to my lawyer. There, you will find what you deserve.” After reading the letter multiple times in disbelief, Harry went to the lawyer. “I’m transferring ownership of a bank account under your grandfather’s name to you. It has about $300,000. He said that if you didn’t decide to rebuild the house, I should transfer all of this to charity,” the lawyer explained. Upon learning this, Harry donated $100,000 to charities working with the elderly and kept the rest to himself. With the money, he completely rebuilt the house, and started a business for himself. 40. What was the main difference between the brothers? ____________________________________________________ 41. What was the grandmother’s final request? ____________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Committed to his family values, Harry obtained immediate funding from the lawyer, enabling him to undertake the restoration of the house. ____________________________________________________ 43. Recall a moment when you made a right decision as Harry did.

He had never panicked, never bitten, never kicked. There was a steady calmness in him that naturally inspired trust. The first time my daughter, Lila, saw Jasper, she stopped mid-step, pointed her tiny finger, and whispered, “Horsey.” Mr. Taylor waved us over. Jasper lowered his great head and Lila pressed her cheek against his nose and giggled (咯咯地笑). From that day forward, Lila wanted to see Jasper every chance she got. Their bond grew deeper. That’s why the knock on my door one evening surprised me so much. It was Mr. Taylor. His face carried a tightness I’d never seen before. “I think,” he began carefully, “that you should take Lila to see a doctor. I know this will sound strange, but Jasper’s been behaving differently around her. He sniffs (嗅) at her constantly. Jasper is a therapy-trained horse. He’s been trained to sense things...changes in people’s health, emotions, sometimes even illnesses.” He paused. “I’ve seen him do this before, with people who were later diagnosed (诊断) with serious conditions.” I stared at him. Part of me wanted to laugh it off. Horses didn’t diagnose illnesses — doctors did. Maybe Mr. Taylor was overreacting. I thanked him and closed the door. For the next two days, a persistent voice reminded me of Jasper’s strange behavior. Finally, I took Lila to the doctor. The appointment began routinely, but then came extra tests. When the doctor came back, his expression told everything before he spoke. “I’m sorry,” he said gently. “The tests show signs of cancer.” The months that followed were the hardest of our lives. And through it all, there was Jasper. He seemed to know just how to behave. He’d lower his great head so she could stroke him without much effort. He stood guard while Lila rested in the straw. It was as if he carried some of her burden for her. There were moments when I truly believed she fought harder because Jasper was waiting for her. He gave her comfort that no doctor, no parent, could provide. After months of treatment, the doctors finally gave us the news we had been desperate to hear: She was getting better. Lila was weak, but she was winning. And I knew that without Jasper — and without Mr. Taylor’s warning — we might never have caught it early enough. 24. Why did Mr. Taylor visit the author one night? A. To check on Lila’s health condition. B. To voice his concerns about Lila’s health. C. To discuss whether to keep Lila off Jasper. D. To ask for help with Jasper’s strange behavior. 25. How did the author initially react to Mr. Taylor’s warning? A. She did not care. B. She argued with him. C. She asked him for proof. D. She relied on his judgment. 26. How did Jasper support Lila during her treatment? A. He acted funny to ease her pain. B. He stood guard to keep visitors away. C. He signaled her change to her mother. D. He offered unusual emotional comfort. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Wisdom begins where prejudice ends. B. Loyalty often grows in the soil of trust. C. Wonders can arrive in unexpected forms. D. Courage grows when faced with hardships. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一匹名为Jasper的治疗马通过异常行为提示女孩Lila可能患病，促使她及时就医并确诊癌症，在治疗期间，Jasper以独特的情感支持陪伴Lila，帮助她渡过难关，最终康复。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““I think,” he began carefully, “that you should take Lila to see a doctor. I know this will sound strange, but Jasper’s been behaving differently around her. He sniffs (嗅) at her constantly. Jasper is a therapy-trained horse. He’s been trained to sense things...changes in people’s health, emotions, sometimes even illnesses.” (“我认为，”他小心翼翼地说道，“你应该带Lila去看医生。我知道这听起来有些奇怪，但Jasper在她身边的行为变得有些异常了。他不停地嗅她。Jasper是一匹受过治疗训练的马。它被训练能够感知各种事物……人们的健康状况、情绪变化，有时甚至能察觉疾病。”)”可知，Taylor先生晚上拜访作者是为了表达对Lila健康的担忧。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I stared at him. Part of me wanted to laugh it off. Horses didn’t diagnose illnesses — doctors did. Maybe Mr. Taylor was overreacting. I thanked him and closed the door. (我盯着他看。内心有一部分想一笑置之。马不会诊断疾病——那是医生的事。也许Taylor先生反应过度了。我向他道了谢，然后关上了门)”可知，作者最初并不在意Taylor先生的警告。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“He seemed to know just how to behave. He’d lower his great head so she could stroke him without much effort. He stood guard while Lila rested in the straw. It was as if he carried some of her burden for her. (他似乎很清楚该如何表现。他会低下那硕大的脑袋，这样她就能轻松地抚摸他了。当Lila在稻草上休息时，他则站岗守卫着。仿佛他替她分担了部分负担)”和第六段中“There were moments when I truly believed she fought harder because Jasper was waiting for her. He gave her comfort that no doctor, no parent, could provide. (曾有那么一些时刻，我真的相信她之所以会更加努力地坚持，是因为Jasper一直在等着她。他给予她的安慰，是任何医生、任何家长都无法给予的)”可知，Jasper通过体贴的陪伴和独特的安抚方式，提供了非同寻常的情感安慰来支持Lila。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“And I knew that without Jasper — and without Mr. Taylor’s warning — we might never have caught it early enough. (而且我深知，若没有Jasper——也没有Taylor先生的提醒——我们或许永远都无法及早发现这个问题)”可知，文章主要讲述了一匹受过治疗训练的马意外察觉女孩的疾病，并在她治疗期间给予关键支持，以出乎意料的方式改变了她的命运。由此推知，奇迹可能以意想不到的形式出现。故选C项。 C Today’s digital world brings a challenge: distinguishing between human-made and AI-generated content. For example, AI can create fake images or spread false information, which causes serious concerns. To address this, researchers are exploring a new technique called AI watermarking. AI watermarking is the process of embedding (嵌入) a recognizable, unique signal into the output of an AI model, such as text or an image, to identify that content as AI-generated. Ideally, an AI watermark should be invisible to the human eye, but easily found by specialized software or computer algorithms (算法). A generative AI model that uses watermarking can be employed like any other one, but model output will clearly indicate that it was created using AI. Effective AI watermarking should avoid reducing model performance, resist efforts to forge (伪造), remove or change it, and work well with various model architectures. For example, the system might be more likely to choose certain rare words or sequences that a human writer would be unlikely to produce. To an end user, the text generated by the model would still look completely random. This technique is created during model training by teaching the model to embed a specific signal or identifier in generated content, such as a textual watermark hidden in a sentence generated by a large language model or a visual watermark hidden in the output of an image generator. This process usually involves making small changes to the model during the training stage. After model training and use, specialized algorithms detect the presence of the watermark embedded earlier, thereby checking whether a piece of media was generated by AI. For example, an algorithm might analyze an image’s pixels (像素) to detect hidden patterns. Similar to a physical watermark on paper currency, AI watermarks serve as digital signatures that can demonstrate the origin of a piece of media. Social media networks, news organizations and other online platforms could use them to indicate to readers that a piece of content was created using AI. Adding a disclaimer label to a post that contains an AI-generated image could help stop attempts to spread disinformation, for example. Unfortunately, current AI watermarking techniques are unreliable and relatively easy to bypass. Developing long-lasting AI watermarks that not even determined attackers can remove remains an open research problem. One significant issue is that watermarks are often easy to remove, particularly in text. There’s also the problem of “false positives”, where human-made content is wrongly identified as AI-generated. Finding the right balance is key: a watermark that’s too obvious might make the content unnatural, while one that’s too light could be easily missed or removed. As AI technology advances, improving watermarking techniques remains an important task. 28. Which of the following models uses effective AI watermarking? A. A file with a retyped watermark. B. A high-definition photo labeled “AI”. C. A video with a removable “AI sticker”. D. A text with certain patterns every few lines. 29. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To provide a technical guide. B. To compare the AI techniques. C. To explain the technical principle. D. To describe the evolution of techniques. 30. What can we learn about AI watermarks from the passage? A. They are helpful in making texts read naturally. B. They push people to use more disclaimer labels. C. Developing durable and unremovable ones is still a goal. D. False positives appear when they are too obvious or light. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了数字时代为辨别AI生成内容出现的AI水印技术，说明其原理、作用，也指出当前技术的不足及研发改进的重要性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Ideally, an AI watermark should be invisible to the human eye, but easily found by specialized software or computer algorithms. Effective AI watermarking should avoid reducing model performance, resist efforts to forge, remove or change it, and work well with various model architectures.(理想情况下，人工智能水印应为人眼不可见，但能被专业软件或计算机算法轻易识别。有效的人工智能水印应避免降低模型性能，能抵御伪造、移除或篡改的行为，并适配各类模型架构。)”可知，有效的人工智能水印具备隐蔽、难以移除且可被专业技术识别的特点，带特定规律模式的文本符合该特征。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This technique is created during model training by teaching the model to embed a specific signal or identifier in generated content, such as a textual watermark hidden in a sentence generated by a large language model or a visual watermark hidden in the output of an image generator. This process usually involves making small changes to the model during the training stage. After model training and use, specialized algorithms detect the presence of the watermark embedded earlier, thereby checking whether a piece of media was generated by AI.(该技术在模型训练阶段研发而成，通过训练模型在生成内容中嵌入特定信号或标识实现——比如大语言模型生成语句中隐藏的文本水印，或是图像生成器输出内容中隐藏的视觉水印。这一过程通常需要在训练阶段对模型做出细微调整。模型完成训练并投入使用后，专用算法会检测此前嵌入的水印是否存在，从而验证某一媒体内容是否由人工智能生成。)”可知，本段详细阐释了人工智能水印从嵌入到检测的技术实现原理，目的是介绍其技术原理。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Developing long-lasting AI watermarks that not even determined attackers can remove remains an open research problem.(研发即便是执意的攻击者也无法移除的长效人工智能水印，仍是一个尚未解决的研究难题。)”可知，研发耐用且无法被移除的人工智能水印目前仍是研究的目标。故选C项。 D “If I wouldn’t invite someone into my house, I shouldn’t let them into my head.” But that’s easier said than done. Social media has opened up our heads so that just about any trespasser can wander in. The real problem isn’t technology — it’s human nature. We are wired to care about what others think of us. As the ancient Roman Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius observed, “We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own,” whether they are friends, strangers, or enemies. This tendency may be natural, but if we were perfectly logical beings, we would understand that our fears about what other people think are overblown. Other people’s influence on our opinions about the world pales in comparison to their influence on our opinion of ourselves. Evolution neatly explains why: Before the modern structures of civilization, being cast out from our group meant certain death from cold or starvation. This can easily explain why our sense of well-being includes others’ approval, as well as why the human brain has evolved to activate the same feelings when we experience physical pain and when we face social rejection. Unfortunately, the instinct to seek the approval of others is extremely out of step with modern life and can drive us round the bend if we let it. Today you might suffer severe anxiety that strangers online will “cancel” you for an ill-considered remark, or passers-by will take a photo of a poor outfit choice and laugh at it on social media for all to see. One reason we fear others’ opinions is because negative assessments can lead to shame, which is the feeling of being considered worthless, incompetent or dishonorable. People will go to a lot of effort to avoid shame, which can explain behaviors such as virtue signaling on social media. Just because our overconcern for others’ opinions of us is natural doesn’t mean it’s unavoidable. The right goal is not a complete disregard for the opinions of others. That would be abnormal and dangerous; this tendency could be evidence of antisocial personality disorder. Many of us could become better off if we learned to care a good deal less than we do. The amusing thing about feeling bad about ourselves because of what people might think of us is that others actually have much fewer opinions about us — positive or negative — than we imagine. Next time you feel ill at ease in social situations, you can safely assume that everyone around you is doing more or less the same. As is said, “Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner.” As the years have passed, I have come to interpret it as more of a promise and an opportunity. I have learned that the prison of others’ approval is actually one built by me and guarded by me. Therefore, if you are stuck in the prison of shame and judgment, remember that you hold the key. 31. Why does the author mention Marcus Aurelius in Paragraph 2? A. To tell logic usually goes with human nature. B. To show we often prioritize others’ needs over ours. C. To propose one is overconcerned with others’ views. D. To imply social media can deepen our inner conflict. 32. What does “drive us round the bend” underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Make us feel very annoyed. B. Leave us rather confused. C. Lead us to a wrong path. D. Motivate us to improve. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Ignoring others’ views makes us better. B. Shame originates from human evolution. C. Outside voices impact our world outlook more. D. Knowing others feel the same can ease bad emotions. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. No One Cares B. Approval Matters C. The Prison of Shame D. The Nature of Judgment 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. D 34. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人们在意他人看法这一心理现象的根源、影响，以及如何摆脱这种心理束缚。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第二段“As the ancient Roman Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius observed, ‘We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own,’ whether they are friends, strangers, or enemies.(正如古罗马斯多葛学派哲学家Marcus Aurelius所言，‘我们都爱自己胜过爱别人，但却更在乎别人对我们的看法，而不是自己对自己的看法’，无论他们是朋友、陌生人还是敌人。)”以及“This tendency may be natural, but if we were perfectly logical beings, we would understand that our fears about what other people think are overblown.(这种倾向可能是自然的，但如果我们是完全理性的生物，我们就会明白我们对他人想法的恐惧是被夸大的。)”可知，作者引用Marcus Aurelius的话是为了说明人们过度在意他人看法这一现象。故选C。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Unfortunately, the instinct to seek the approval of others is extremely out of step with modern life and can drive us round the bend if we let it. Today you might suffer severe anxiety that strangers online will ‘cancel’ you for an ill-considered remark, or passers-by will take a photo of a poor outfit choice and laugh at it on social media for all to see.(不幸的是，寻求他人认可的本能与现代生活极其脱节，如果我们放任不管，它会drive us round the bend。如今，你可能会因为担心网上的陌生人会因为一句欠考虑的话而‘抵制’你，或者路人会拍下你糟糕的穿搭照片并在社交媒体上嘲笑而感到极度焦虑。)”可推知，人们会因过度关注他人意见而引发的强烈负面情绪（如恼火或疯狂）。“drive us round the bend”意为“使我们非常烦恼、抓狂”，A选项“Make us feel very annoyed.(让我们感到非常恼火)”符合题意。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Next time you feel ill at ease in social situations, you can safely assume that everyone around you is doing more or less the same.(下次你在社交场合感到不自在时，你可以放心地认为，你周围的每个人都或多或少地在经历同样的感受。)”可知，知道别人也有同样的感受可以缓解不良情绪。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第七段“As is said, ‘Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner.’ As the years have passed, I have come to interpret it as more of a promise and an opportunity. I have learned that the prison of others’ approval is actually one built by me and guarded by me. Therefore, if you are stuck in the prison of shame and judgment, remember that you hold the key.(正如所说：‘在意别人的认可，你就会成为他们的囚徒。’随着时间的推移，我更倾向于把它看作一个承诺和机会。我明白了，他人认可的牢笼其实是我自己建造、自己看守的。因此，如果你被困在羞耻和评判的牢笼里，请记住，钥匙在你自己手中。)”以及全文内容可知，文章围绕“在意他人看法会成为一种束缚，而我们可以主动挣脱这种束缚”展开，核心是指出他人对我们的关注其实远没有我们想象的多。选项A“No One Cares”（没人在意）以反讽式标题精准概括这一主旨，故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm. ___35___ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand. Modern life demands a constant handling of responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. ___36___ Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ___37___ Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations. Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ___38___ This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone, without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others. The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ___39___ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward. A. It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once. B. To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view. C. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others. D. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle. E. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people. F. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them. G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength. 【答案】35. E 36. C 37. A 38. B 39. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“浮鸭综合征”这一概念，揭示人们如何在外表平静与成功的伪装下隐藏内心的压力和挣扎，并强调真正的成就需要承认背后的辛勤付出而非假装轻松。 【35题详解】 前文“This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm.

Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. (就像鸭子一样，他们试图展现出一种成功的形象，但内心却在承受着巨大的压力。在看似平静的外表之下，隐藏着焦虑、自我怀疑以及对成功的不懈追求。)”描述类似浮鸭的一类人群的具体行为表现，空处应进一步说明“浮鸭综合征”在哪些人群中常见，因此E项“Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people. (“浮鸭综合征”在成功人士中尤其常见。)”符合语境，承接前文的概念，引出后文的具体描述，其中的high-achieving people是后文they指代的对象。故选E。 【36题详解】 前文“Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. (因此，人们试图在多个方面都表现出色，同时又掩盖自己的困境，结果导致他们的辛勤付出和所遭受的痛苦无人知晓。)”描述试图表现优秀的人会掩盖自己的付出和痛苦，后文“Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. (由于感知与现实之间的这种脱节，人们急于表现得毫不费力地成功的这种压力便显得格外明显。)”指出感知与现实的脱节导致的问题，空处应说明这种脱节的具体表现是什么，因此C项“So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others. (所以我们通常错误地认为成就对他人来说是容易的。)”符合语境，表明掩盖行为导致了错误认知，和前文的掩盖构成因果关系，引出后文的问题。故选C。 【37题详解】 前文“When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. (当我们低估了成功的重重困难时，就会发现自己在众多任务中疲于奔命，力不从心。)”描述人们因低估困难而疲于应付多个任务，后文“Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations. (尽管这种策略可能短期内取得了显著成效，但最终却让我们面临诸多未达成的期望。)”指出这种策略导致的后果，因此A项“It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once. (这就像小丑试图同时让几个球保持在空中。)”符合语境，用形象的比喻揭示同时处理多项任务的困难，承接前文的描述，引出后文的后果。故选A。 【38题详解】 前文“Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. (“浮鸭综合征”可能会对我们自身的健康状况以及人际关系产生不利影响。)”总的指出“浮鸭综合征”对健康状况及人际关系有不利影响，后文“This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. (这种对挣扎的内化不仅加重了我们的负担，还使我们与可能的支援来源渐行渐远。)”提到对挣扎的内化的负面影响，空处应描述对挣扎的内化的具体表现，因此B项“To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view. (为了保持能干的外表，我们可能将压力锁在公众视野之外。)”符合语境，承接前文总的影响，引出后文具体的负面影响，其中的public view和后文的internalization形成对比。故选B。 【39题详解】 前文“The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. (“轻而易举就能成功”的这种想法背后隐藏着更深层次的真相。)”引出更深层次的真相，后文“By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward. (通过承认自身的弱点并认可这些努力，我们能够营造出一种开放和关爱的氛围——在这种氛围中，寻求帮助不再被视为软弱的表现，而被视为勇敢向前迈进的一步。)”建议承认弱点并认可努力，在开放和关爱的氛围中寻求帮助，空处应揭示该真相，因此F项“True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.

When their grandfather died five years ago, all of his wealth went to his beloved wife. So Walter was expecting everything to go to them now. Harry and Walter were very different. Harry chose to strike out on his own. Meanwhile, Walter always had his eyes on the prize. When their parents died, Walter knew staying close to his grandparents would one day get him the inheritance. Before their grandmother’s death, she asked them for one thing: “My dear grandsons, all I ask is for you to rebuild this house in your grandfather’s memory. I promised him that this house would be passed on from generation to generation.” she said from her deathbed. Harry and Walter nodded. That day in the lawyer’s office, it was clear who had their grandmother’s interest at heart. “Your grandmother leaves to both of you her house. That is all that is in her will,” the lawyer told them. “That can’t be! What about all her money?” Walter shouted. “She had already closed her bank account before she died. This is all she had left,” the lawyer explained. Walter stormed outside. “We need to fulfill grandma’s wish,” Harry told his brother. “I don’t want anything to do with that house,” Walter screamed. Harry decided to use his savings and borrow additional funding to rebuild the house. While fixing the sewage system in the front lawn, he noticed a wooden hatch. It led to an underground room where he discovered a letter from his grandfather. It read: “To my grandson, You reading this means you’ve fulfilled it. Now, take this letter and show it to my lawyer. There, you will find what you deserve.” After reading the letter multiple times in disbelief, Harry went to the lawyer. “I’m transferring ownership of a bank account under your grandfather’s name to you. It has about $300,000. He said that if you didn’t decide to rebuild the house, I should transfer all of this to charity,” the lawyer explained. Upon learning this, Harry donated $100,000 to charities working with the elderly and kept the rest to himself. With the money, he completely rebuilt the house, and started a business for himself. 40. What was the main difference between the brothers? ____________________________________________________ 41. What was the grandmother’s final request? ____________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Committed to his family values, Harry obtained immediate funding from the lawyer, enabling him to undertake the restoration of the house. ____________________________________________________ 43. Recall a moment when you made a right decision as Harry did. (In about 40 words) ____________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Harry chose to be independent and strike out on his own, while Walter was calculating and always focused on getting the inheritance by staying close to their grandparents. 41. She asked Harry and Walter to rebuild the house in memory of their grandfather so that the house could be passed on from generation to generation. 42. Committed to his family values, Harry obtained immediate funding from the lawyer, enabling him to undertake the restoration of the house. Explanation: Harry used his own savings and borrowed additional money to start rebuilding the house; he got the money from the lawyer only after he found the letter from his grandfather during the restoration work, not immediately at the beginning. 43. Once I chose to help an elderly neighbor carry heavy groceries home instead of going straight to my friend’s party. It made me feel warm, and the neighbor later helped me look after my pet when I was away. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了哈里和沃尔特兄弟二人在祖母离世后，因对待祖母遗愿的不同态度，最终得到不同结果的故事，展现了坚守本心的重要性。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Harry chose to strike out on his own. Meanwhile, Walter always had his eyes on the prize. When their parents died, Walter knew staying close to his grandparents would one day get him the inheritance.(哈里选择独自闯天下。与此同时，沃尔特总是盯着目标不放。父母去世后，沃尔特知道和祖父母亲近，总有一天能得到遗产。)”可知，哈里独立且选择独自打拼，而沃尔特精于算计，一心靠亲近祖父母谋取遗产。故答案为Harry chose to be independent and strike out on his own, while Walter was calculating and always focused on getting the inheritance by staying close to their grandparents. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“My dear grandsons, all I ask is for you to rebuild this house in your grandfather’s memory. I promised him that this house would be passed on from generation to generation.(我亲爱的孙子们，我只要求你们为纪念你们的祖父重建这所房子。我答应过他，这房子会一代一代传下去。)”可知，祖母最后的要求是让兄弟二人为纪念祖父重建房子，让房子代代相传。故答案为She asked Harry and Walter to rebuild the house in memory of their grandfather so that the house could be passed on from generation to generation. 【42题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第六段“Harry decided to use his savings and borrow additional funding to rebuild the house.(哈里决定用自己的积蓄，再借些钱来重建这所房子。)”以及后文哈里在重建房子时发现祖父的信，之后才从律师处得到资金的内容可知，哈里并非一开始就从律师那里获得资金，而是用了自己的积蓄并借款开始重建，后续才得到祖父留下的钱。所以，Committed to his family values, Harry obtained immediate funding from the lawyer, enabling him to undertake the restoration of the house.中“obtained immediate funding from the lawyer”错误。故答案为Committed to his family values, Harry obtained immediate funding from the lawyer, enabling him to undertake the restoration of the house. Explanation: Harry used his own savings and borrowed additional money to start rebuilding the house; he got the money from the lawyer only after he found the letter from his grandfather during the restoration work, not immediately at the beginning. 【43题详解】 考查开放性试题。根据文章中哈里坚守本心、践行祖母遗愿的正确选择，结合自身经历讲述做出正确决定的时刻即可。故答案为Once I chose to help an elderly neighbor carry heavy groceries home instead of going straight to my friend’s party. It made me feel warm, and the neighbor later helped me look after my pet when I was away.（开放性试题，答案合理即可）。 第二节（20分） 44. 假定你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的外国好友Jim正在做一份题为 “Tradition Meets Technology” 的校内报告，想寻找最具代表性的中国案例，为此发来邮件，询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 提出的建议； 2. 建议理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Jim, I strongly recommend mobile payment as the most representative case for your “Tradition Meets Technology” report.
