B Yesterday, after arriving in Madrid, I knocked on a stranger’s door. “I searched on the website. Will you give me lessons?” I asked. This was the reason I’d come to Spain. Because I once believed I was meant to be a female flamenco (弗拉门戈) guitarist. Forty-five years ago, when I was two, my father also came to Madrid and knocked on strangers’ doors. As a well-known classical guitarist, he admired flamenco a lot, and in Spain, he learnt from anyone willing to teach him. He approached performers in bars, made friends with street musicians, and managed to study with Paco de Lucia, the greatest flamenco guitarist of our time. I started playing classical guitar when I was five. My father’s hands exploded across the strings like fireworks. I practised while he instructed and criticized. I played till I had sharp pain in my fingertips. By age seven, I was called a child genius. Then, at 11, I quit. Heartbroken, my father distanced himself. Guiltily, I followed suit. Soon, we spoke only when necessary. Our relationship didn’t rebound until, in my early 20s, I found myself pulled back to guitar. When I was in my early 30s, he got sick. Before he died a few years later, my father told me there were almost no female flamenco guitarists in the world. If I kept practising, I could be one of the first. I promised, and he left me his guitar. But after he died, I couldn’t bear to play it. He’d spent so much time with his arms around that instrument, and it seemed an extension of his own body. Holding it gave my grief an unbearable tangibility (可触知). So for 13 years, it sat mostly untouched, coming out only when my son Ellis begged to see it. He was careful with his grandfather’s instrument in a way that made me want to pass it down to him — both the guitar and the music. The problem was that I couldn’t really play anymore. Now, Antonia is sitting with me in her living room, teaching me patiently. I have been here for only two days, and already my fingers hurt. It’s a sharp pain, like when a fallen-asleep limb (肢体) returns to life. The feeling delights me. It means I’m doing something right. 41. Which can best describe the father when he was learning flamenco? A. Cautious. B. Hopeless. C. Depressed. D. Devoted. 42. Which has the similar meaning with the underlined word “rebound” in paragraph 4? A. Improve. B. Break. C. Suffer. D. Blossom. 43. Why did the author leave the guitar untouched? A. She intended to pass it down to her son. B. It reminded her of her unpleasant past. C. Deep sorrow drowned her at the sight of it. D. Carrying it made her feel a sense of burden. 44. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Guitar Lessons From Strangers B. Love for Father on the String Again C. Adventures for Music Lovers in Spain D. Journey to Success as a Flamenco Guitarist 45. What does “the feeling delights me” suggest about the author? A. She enjoys the pain of learning. B. She is worried about her progress. C. She dislikes Antonia’s teaching. D. She wants to quit playing soon. C Predictive coding, a theory originally developed in neuroscience and machine learning, is changing our understanding of the human brain. It proposes that the brain is not a simple receiver of sensory information but an active “prediction machine”. Instead of processing every detail from the beginning, our brains constantly make models of the world and guess what we will see, hear, or feel next. The difference between these predictions and the actual sensory input — termed the “prediction error” — is the only information the brain needs to change its internal models. This efficient system explains why we can easily recognize a friend’s face in a crowd or understand a sentence even with background noise. However, this smart efficiency comes with cognitive trade-offs (认知的平衡). A core idea of predictive coding is that perception is in its nature a controlled false image, heavily shaped by what we already believe. This can lead to built-in biases. For instance, in a famous experiment, participants shown a not clear image of a bicycle were later more likely to wrongly recognize similar but not present objects like unicycles, because their brain’s prediction — based on the common idea “wheeled vehicle” — was stronger than the unclear sensory data. Such findings challenge the simple view of perception as an objective camera, suggesting instead that what we “see” is a best guess made by our neural system. The effects go beyond optical illusions (视觉幻觉) into social cognition. Research shows that stereotypes (刻板印象) and cultural expectations work as powerful prior beliefs within the predictive coding system. When we meet someone from a group we have ideas about, our brain may reduce prediction errors by ignoring information that goes against our expectations, thereby making stronger pre-existing biases. This neural way of working provides a physical basis for “confirmation bias,” showing how our search for cognitive efficiency can accidentally continue social misunderstandings. Importantly, the brain’s predictive system is not a fixed fate. Neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) makes sure that with continued, attention-driven contact to new and opposite evidence, the brain’s models can be changed. This is the scientific basis of learning and mindfulness practices. By purposely paying attention to prediction errors — those moments when reality surprises us — we can make our internal models change, leading to more correct perceptions and less prejudice. Thus, predictive coding not only explains the beginnings of our biases but also shows a way toward overcoming them, describing the mind as a changing, changeable system rather than a fixed recorder of reality. 46. What is the primary function of the “prediction error” according to the predictive coding theory? A. To generate entirely new sensory models from scratch. B. To create persistent illusions that dominate our perception. C. To act as the main source of sensory information the brain receives. D. To serve as the only signal for the brain to correct its internal predictions. 47. The experiment involving the unclear bicycle image is mentioned to illustrate ________. A. the superiority of human visual processing B. how prior beliefs can change perceptual judgment C. the difficulty in recognizing uncommon objects D. the complete unreliability of human senses 48. According to the passage, how do stereotypes function within the predictive coding framework? A. They eliminate all prediction errors in social interactions. B. They serve as neutral prior beliefs with no cognitive cost. C. They may contribute to strengthening existing biases. D. They are easily changed by new sensory information. 49. What does the author suggest about the brain’s predictive system in the last paragraph? A. It is unchangeable and determines our perception permanently. B. It can be intentionally modified through focused attention and new experiences. C. Its primary role is to resist any form of learning or adjustment. D. It makes mindfulness practices scientifically unimportant. 50. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Prediction and Perception: How the Brain Constructs Reality B. The Passive Brain: A Receiver of Information C. The End of Stereotypes: A Neuroscience Perspective D. Sensory Overload: The Brain’s Processing Challenge D In our success-obsessed culture, failure is often seen as a final destination, a mark of shame to be avoided at all costs. From a young age, we are taught to fear it, hide it, and race past it as quickly as possible. But what if we’ve been looking at failure all wrong? A growing body of research in psychology and education suggests that failure, when approached correctly, is not a dead end but a critical crossroads on the path to growth and innovation. The key lies in our mindset. Psychologist Carol Dweck’s work on “fixed” versus “growth” mindsets is central here. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are carved in stone. For them, failure is a destructive decision on their inherent talent, leading to avoidance and helplessness. Those with a growth mindset, however, see abilities as muscles that can be developed. They interpret failure not as evidence of their inability, but as a valuable source of information — a signal that their current strategy isn’t working and needs adjustment. This reframing transforms failure from a threat into a teacher. In the scientific community, “negative results” — experiments that don’t work as hypothesized (假定) — are increasingly published and valued because they tell future researchers what paths not to take, saving immense time and resources. Similarly, in the world of entrepreneurship (企业家精神), seasoned founders often speak of their early failed ventures as their most formative education, teaching them lessons about markets, teams, and resilience (恢复力) that no business school case study could. However, not all failure is productive. The learning potential of failure depends on the quality of the reflection that follows it. Simply repeating the same mistakes leads nowhere. Productive failure involves a deliberate process: analyzing what went wrong, identifying controllable factors, seeking feedback, and formulating a new plan of action. It requires emotional resilience to tolerate the discomfort of being wrong and the intellectual honesty to confront one’s own shortcomings. Ultimately, by devaluing failure, we risk raising a generation that is afraid to take necessary risks, think creatively, or challenge the status quo (现状). If we want to promote true innovation and resilient individuals, we must cultivate environments — in schools, workplaces, and homes — where intelligent, effort-based failure is not just tolerated, but welcomed as an essential step in the learning process. The goal is not to fail, but to fail forward. 51. What is the main point of the first paragraph? A. To criticize society’s overemphasis on success. B. To introduce a new perspective on the role of failure. C. To list the common consequences of failure. D. To compare different cultural attitudes towards failure. 52. According to Carol Dweck’s theory, how do people with a “growth mindset” view failure? A. As an opportunity to learn and improve their strategies. B. As a permanent reflection of their intelligence. C. As a sign that they should give up on their goals. D. As a purely negative event to be forgotten quickly. 53. The author mentions “negative results” in scientific research and failed ventures in entrepreneurship to ________. A. highlight the high cost of making mistakes in these fields B. prove that failure is inevitable in any complex endeavor C. illustrate how failure can provide instructive feedback D. argue that these fields are more tolerant of failure than others 54. What determines whether a failure can lead to growth? A. The severity of the consequences. B. The amount of time it takes to recover. C. The quality of reflection and analysis after the event. D. The number of people who witness it. 55. What is the author’s ultimate advice for fostering innovation? A. To carefully avoid any potential risks. B. To create environments that encourage learning from well-intentioned failure. C. To only attempt tasks with a high probability of success. D. To separate the learning process from the pressure of outcomes. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Eco city Farms is an educational nonprofit organization.

Not easy to just go from eating a certain way all your life to switching over to being healthier. With the urban garden here, with my son learning, he can help me switch around my style of eating. I want a healthy family." Margaret says the urban garden is an agent for change and the young people are its newest supporters." Our program is about planting seeds. It's about planting seeds not just in the ground, but in other human beings so that the movement can grow and it's really exciting because these young people will be working with us throughout the year to help plan the actual farm and to finally own it." 56.

We must work hard to gain more knowledge while we are young. 趁着我们年轻，我们必须刻苦学习，获得更多的知识。 二、引导让步状语从句 。 常放在句首，译作＂尽管＂、＂虽然＂，比although或 though语气要轻。如： While I believe it is true, I cannot prove it. 虽然我相信那是真的，但我无法证明。 三、引导条件状语从句 。 相当于as long as，译作＂只要＂。如： 1. While there is life, there is hope.只要有生命，就有希望。 2. While a spark of life remains, it is a doctor’s duty to save the patient. 只要病人有一息生机，医生就有责任救他。 四、引导原因状语从句 。 相当于since，有＂既然＂的意思。如： 1.

An outdoors man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on a tan after a short vacation in the sun. 从事室外工作的人如果调到室内工作，不久肤色就会变白；而一个伏案工作的文员出去度个短假，就会被太阳晒黑。 2. Motion is absolute while stagnation is relative. 运动是绝对的，而静止是相对的。 六、连接并列句 表示递进，相当于and what is more, 译作＂并且＂、＂而且＂。如： 1.The new man-made fibres are more hardwearing than natural fibres and greatly reduce mending, while good ready-made clothes are cheap and plentiful. 新的人造纤维比天然纤维耐磨，因此能大大减少修补工作，而且做好的衣服价廉物美，数量也多。 第二节：完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16~35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 When most of us get a text message on our cell phone from an unknown person, we usually say ＂sorry, ____16____ number!＂ and move on.

Will you give me lessons?” I asked. This was the reason I’d come to Spain. Because I once believed I was meant to be a female flamenco (弗拉门戈) guitarist. Forty-five years ago, when I was two, my father also came to Madrid and knocked on strangers’ doors. As a well-known classical guitarist, he admired flamenco a lot, and in Spain, he learnt from anyone willing to teach him. He approached performers in bars, made friends with street musicians, and managed to study with Paco de Lucia, the greatest flamenco guitarist of our time. I started playing classical guitar when I was five. My father’s hands exploded across the strings like fireworks. I practised while he instructed and criticized. I played till I had sharp pain in my fingertips. By age seven, I was called a child genius. Then, at 11, I quit. Heartbroken, my father distanced himself. Guiltily, I followed suit. Soon, we spoke only when necessary. Our relationship didn’t rebound until, in my early 20s, I found myself pulled back to guitar. When I was in my early 30s, he got sick. Before he died a few years later, my father told me there were almost no female flamenco guitarists in the world. If I kept practising, I could be one of the first. I promised, and he left me his guitar. But after he died, I couldn’t bear to play it. He’d spent so much time with his arms around that instrument, and it seemed an extension of his own body. Holding it gave my grief an unbearable tangibility (可触知). So for 13 years, it sat mostly untouched, coming out only when my son Ellis begged to see it. He was careful with his grandfather’s instrument in a way that made me want to pass it down to him — both the guitar and the music. The problem was that I couldn’t really play anymore. Now, Antonia is sitting with me in her living room, teaching me patiently. I have been here for only two days, and already my fingers hurt. It’s a sharp pain, like when a fallen-asleep limb (肢体) returns to life. The feeling delights me. It means I’m doing something right. 41. Which can best describe the father when he was learning flamenco? A. Cautious. B. Hopeless. C. Depressed. D. Devoted. 42. Which has the similar meaning with the underlined word “rebound” in paragraph 4? A. Improve. B. Break. C. Suffer. D. Blossom. 43. Why did the author leave the guitar untouched? A. She intended to pass it down to her son. B. It reminded her of her unpleasant past. C. Deep sorrow drowned her at the sight of it. D. Carrying it made her feel a sense of burden. 44. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Guitar Lessons From Strangers B. Love for Father on the String Again C. Adventures for Music Lovers in Spain D. Journey to Success as a Flamenco Guitarist 45. What does “the feeling delights me” suggest about the author? A. She enjoys the pain of learning. B. She is worried about her progress. C. She dislikes Antonia’s teaching. D. She wants to quit playing soon. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者受父亲影响，从小学习古典吉他，中途放弃后因父亲临终前的嘱托，时隔多年前往西班牙马德里学习弗拉门戈吉他，重拾音乐梦想的故事。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As a well-known classical guitarist, he admired flamenco a lot, and in Spain, he learnt from anyone willing to teach him. He approached performers in bars, made friends with street musicians, and managed to study with Paco de Lucia, the greatest flamenco guitarist of our time.(作为一个著名的古典吉他手，他非常欣赏弗拉门戈，在西班牙，他向任何愿意教他的人学习。他在酒吧接触表演者，与街头音乐家交朋友，并设法向当代最伟大的弗拉门戈吉他手帕科·德·卢西亚学习。)”可推知，“挚爱的、热衷的”最能描述这位父亲学习弗拉门戈时的情景。故选D项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Soon we spoke only when necessary.(不久，我们只在必要的时候才说话。)”和下文“in my early 20s, I found myself pulled back to guitar.(在我20岁出头的时候，我发现自己又重新弹起了吉他。)”可知，有段时间作者很少和父亲讲话，直到20多岁时，作者重新爱上吉他，由此推知，那时他们的关系有改善。从而推知，画线词是“改善”的意思，与improve同义。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But after he died, I couldn’t bear to play it. He’d spent so much time with his arms around that instrument, and it seemed an extension of his own body. Holding it gave my grief an unbearable tangibility. So for 13 years, it sat mostly untouched(但他去世后，我实在不忍再弹奏那把吉他。他曾无数次将它抱在怀中，它仿佛成了他身体的延伸。握着它，我的悲伤变得无比真切，令人难以承受。因此，在之后的13年里，它几乎一直被闲置着，无人触碰)”可知，作者之所以没有动吉他是因为一看到它，她就感到深深的悲伤。故选C项。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“I started playing classical guitar when I was five. My father’s hands exploded across the strings like fireworks.(我五岁时开始学习古典吉他。父亲的双手在琴弦上灵动翻飞，宛如烟花绽放。)”及第四段“Then, at 11, I quit. Heartbroken, my father distanced himself. ... Our relationship didn’t rebound until, in my early 20s, I found myself pulled back to guitar.(然而，我11岁时放弃了吉他。父亲心碎不已，渐渐与我疏远。……直到我二十出头时，发现自己重新被吉他吸引，我们的关系才得以修复。)”及最后一段“I have been here for only two days, and already my fingers hurt. It’s a sharp pain, like when a fallen-asleep limb returns to life. The feeling delights me. It means I’m doing something right.(我来这里才两天，手指就已经疼了。那是一种尖锐的疼痛，就像睡着的肢体恢复知觉时的感觉。这种感觉让我很高兴。这意味着我在做正确的事情。)” 并通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者受父亲的影响学习弗拉门戈吉他，虽然中途放弃过，但出于对父亲的爱最终又重新学习吉他，虽然辛苦但是作者认为这是正确的事情。整体来看父爱贯穿于全文，所以B选项“对父亲的爱再次系在弦上”能概括文章大意，适合用作文章标题。故选B项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I have been here for only two days, and already my fingers hurt. It’s a sharp pain, like when a fallen-asleep limb returns to life. The feeling delights me. It means I’m doing something right.(我来这里才两天，手指就已经疼了。那是一种尖锐的疼痛，就像睡着的肢体恢复知觉时的感觉。这种感觉让我很高兴。这意味着我在做正确的事情。)” 可知，作者将学吉他时手指的疼痛感比作肢体恢复知觉的感觉，且明确表示这种感觉让自己开心，说明她享受学习过程中的这份疼痛（暗含为追求梦想付出努力的愉悦）。故选A。 C Predictive coding, a theory originally developed in neuroscience and machine learning, is changing our understanding of the human brain. It proposes that the brain is not a simple receiver of sensory information but an active “prediction machine”. Instead of processing every detail from the beginning, our brains constantly make models of the world and guess what we will see, hear, or feel next. The difference between these predictions and the actual sensory input — termed the “prediction error” — is the only information the brain needs to change its internal models. This efficient system explains why we can easily recognize a friend’s face in a crowd or understand a sentence even with background noise. However, this smart efficiency comes with cognitive trade-offs (认知的平衡). A core idea of predictive coding is that perception is in its nature a controlled false image, heavily shaped by what we already believe. This can lead to built-in biases. For instance, in a famous experiment, participants shown a not clear image of a bicycle were later more likely to wrongly recognize similar but not present objects like unicycles, because their brain’s prediction — based on the common idea “wheeled vehicle” — was stronger than the unclear sensory data. Such findings challenge the simple view of perception as an objective camera, suggesting instead that what we “see” is a best guess made by our neural system. The effects go beyond optical illusions (视觉幻觉) into social cognition. Research shows that stereotypes (刻板印象) and cultural expectations work as powerful prior beliefs within the predictive coding system. When we meet someone from a group we have ideas about, our brain may reduce prediction errors by ignoring information that goes against our expectations, thereby making stronger pre-existing biases. This neural way of working provides a physical basis for “confirmation bias,” showing how our search for cognitive efficiency can accidentally continue social misunderstandings. Importantly, the brain’s predictive system is not a fixed fate. Neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) makes sure that with continued, attention-driven contact to new and opposite evidence, the brain’s models can be changed. This is the scientific basis of learning and mindfulness practices. By purposely paying attention to prediction errors — those moments when reality surprises us — we can make our internal models change, leading to more correct perceptions and less prejudice. Thus, predictive coding not only explains the beginnings of our biases but also shows a way toward overcoming them, describing the mind as a changing, changeable system rather than a fixed recorder of reality. 46. What is the primary function of the “prediction error” according to the predictive coding theory? A. To generate entirely new sensory models from scratch. B. To create persistent illusions that dominate our perception. C. To act as the main source of sensory information the brain receives. D. To serve as the only signal for the brain to correct its internal predictions. 47. The experiment involving the unclear bicycle image is mentioned to illustrate ________. A. the superiority of human visual processing B. how prior beliefs can change perceptual judgment C. the difficulty in recognizing uncommon objects D. the complete unreliability of human senses 48. According to the passage, how do stereotypes function within the predictive coding framework? A. They eliminate all prediction errors in social interactions. B. They serve as neutral prior beliefs with no cognitive cost. C. They may contribute to strengthening existing biases. D. They are easily changed by new sensory information. 49. What does the author suggest about the brain’s predictive system in the last paragraph? A. It is unchangeable and determines our perception permanently. B. It can be intentionally modified through focused attention and new experiences. C. Its primary role is to resist any form of learning or adjustment. D. It makes mindfulness practices scientifically unimportant. 50. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Prediction and Perception: How the Brain Constructs Reality B. The Passive Brain: A Receiver of Information C. The End of Stereotypes: A Neuroscience Perspective D. Sensory Overload: The Brain’s Processing Challenge 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了预测编码理论，该理论认为大脑是一个主动的“预测机器”，通过预测与实际感官输入之间的差异来不断调整和优化其内部模型，同时探讨了这一理论在认知偏差、社会认知以及神经可塑性方面的应用和影响。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The difference between these predictions and the actual sensory input — termed the “prediction error” — is the only information the brain needs to change its internal models.(这些预测与实际感官输入之间的差异——被称为“预测误差”——是大脑改变其内部模型所需的唯一信息)”可知，根据预测编码理论，“预测误差”的主要功能是作为大脑修正其内部预测的唯一信号。故选D项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A core idea of predictive coding is that perception is in its nature a controlled false image, heavily shaped by what we already believe. This can lead to built-in biases. For instance, in a famous experiment, participants shown a not clear image of a bicycle were later more likely to wrongly recognize similar but not present objects like unicycles, because their brain’s prediction — based on the common idea “wheeled vehicle” — was stronger than the unclear sensory data. Such findings challenge the simple view of perception as an objective camera, suggesting instead that what we “see” is a best guess made by our neural system.(预测编码理论的核心观点认为，感知本质上是一种受控的虚假影像，深受我们既有信念的影响。这种机制可能导致固有的认知偏差。例如，在一个著名实验中，参与者观看了一张模糊的自行车图片后，更容易错误地识别出类似但实际未出现的物体(如独轮车)。这是因为他们大脑基于“带轮交通工具”这一常见概念作出的预测，比模糊的感官输入更加强烈。这类发现挑战了“感知如同客观摄像机”的简单观点，转而揭示出我们所“看见”的其实是神经系统作出的最佳推测)”可知，参与者因大脑基于“带轮子的车辆”这一常见概念进行预测，而更可能错误识别独轮车。这个例子是为了说明先前的信念(如常见概念)如何改变知觉判断。故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Research shows that stereotypes (刻板印象) and cultural expectations work as powerful prior beliefs within the predictive coding system. When we meet someone from a group we have ideas about, our brain may reduce prediction errors by ignoring information that goes against our expectations, thereby making stronger pre-existing biases.(研究表明，刻板印象和文化期望在预测编码系统中作为强大的先前信念发挥作用。当我们遇到一个我们已有了解的群体中的某人时，我们的大脑可能会通过忽略与预期不符的信息来减少预测误差，从而加强预先存在的偏见)”可知，在预测编码框架内，刻板印象(即对群体的固有观念)会通过让大脑忽略矛盾信息来强化现有的偏见。故选C项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) makes sure that with continued, attention-driven contact to new and opposite evidence, the brain’s models can be changed. This is the scientific basis of learning and mindfulness practices. By purposely paying attention to prediction errors — those moments when reality surprises us — we can make our internal models change, leading to more correct perceptions and less prejudice.(神经可塑性确保了在持续、专注接触新颖且相反的证据时，大脑的认知模型能够被重塑。这一机制构成了学习与正念练习的科学基础。通过有意识地关注预测误差——即现实让我们感到意外的时刻——我们可以推动内在认知模型的更新，从而实现更准确的感知并减少偏见)”可知，作者认为大脑的预测系统可以通过有意识的关注和新的经历被有意地修改。故选B项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Predictive coding, a theory originally developed in neuroscience and machine learning, is changing our understanding of the human brain. It proposes that the brain is not a simple receiver of sensory information but an active “prediction machine”.(预测编码，这一最初在神经科学和机器学习领域发展起来的理论，正在改变我们对人类大脑的理解。它提出大脑不是感官信息的简单接收者，而是一个主动的“预测机器”)”可知，文章主要介绍了预测编码理论，核心观点是大脑通过主动预测(而非被动接收)来构建我们对现实的感知(perception)，并详细阐述了这一过程如何运作、可能带来的偏见以及改变的可能性。A项“Prediction and Perception: How the Brain Constructs Reality(预测与感知：大脑如何构建现实)”是最佳标题。故选A项。 D In our success-obsessed culture, failure is often seen as a final destination, a mark of shame to be avoided at all costs. From a young age, we are taught to fear it, hide it, and race past it as quickly as possible. But what if we’ve been looking at failure all wrong? A growing body of research in psychology and education suggests that failure, when approached correctly, is not a dead end but a critical crossroads on the path to growth and innovation. The key lies in our mindset. Psychologist Carol Dweck’s work on “fixed” versus “growth” mindsets is central here. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are carved in stone. For them, failure is a destructive decision on their inherent talent, leading to avoidance and helplessness. Those with a growth mindset, however, see abilities as muscles that can be developed. They interpret failure not as evidence of their inability, but as a valuable source of information — a signal that their current strategy isn’t working and needs adjustment. This reframing transforms failure from a threat into a teacher. In the scientific community, “negative results” — experiments that don’t work as hypothesized (假定) — are increasingly published and valued because they tell future researchers what paths not to take, saving immense time and resources. Similarly, in the world of entrepreneurship (企业家精神), seasoned founders often speak of their early failed ventures as their most formative education, teaching them lessons about markets, teams, and resilience (恢复力) that no business school case study could. However, not all failure is productive. The learning potential of failure depends on the quality of the reflection that follows it. Simply repeating the same mistakes leads nowhere. Productive failure involves a deliberate process: analyzing what went wrong, identifying controllable factors, seeking feedback, and formulating a new plan of action. It requires emotional resilience to tolerate the discomfort of being wrong and the intellectual honesty to confront one’s own shortcomings. Ultimately, by devaluing failure, we risk raising a generation that is afraid to take necessary risks, think creatively, or challenge the status quo (现状). If we want to promote true innovation and resilient individuals, we must cultivate environments — in schools, workplaces, and homes — where intelligent, effort-based failure is not just tolerated, but welcomed as an essential step in the learning process. The goal is not to fail, but to fail forward. 51. What is the main point of the first paragraph? A. To criticize society’s overemphasis on success. B. To introduce a new perspective on the role of failure. C. To list the common consequences of failure. D. To compare different cultural attitudes towards failure. 52. According to Carol Dweck’s theory, how do people with a “growth mindset” view failure? A. As an opportunity to learn and improve their strategies. B. As a permanent reflection of their intelligence. C. As a sign that they should give up on their goals. D. As a purely negative event to be forgotten quickly. 53. The author mentions “negative results” in scientific research and failed ventures in entrepreneurship to ________. A. highlight the high cost of making mistakes in these fields B. prove that failure is inevitable in any complex endeavor C. illustrate how failure can provide instructive feedback D. argue that these fields are more tolerant of failure than others 54. What determines whether a failure can lead to growth? A. The severity of the consequences. B. The amount of time it takes to recover. C. The quality of reflection and analysis after the event. D. The number of people who witness it. 55. What is the author’s ultimate advice for fostering innovation? A. To carefully avoid any potential risks. B. To create environments that encourage learning from well-intentioned failure. C. To only attempt tasks with a high probability of success. D. To separate the learning process from the pressure of outcomes. 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. C 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨人们对失败的固有偏见，指出正确看待失败的重要性，分析不同心态对失败的理解及让失败产生价值的方法。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In our success-obsessed culture, failure is often seen as a final destination, a mark of shame to be avoided at all costs.(在我们这个痴迷于成功的文化中，失败往往被视为最终的归宿，是一种要不惜一切代价避免的耻辱印记。)”以及“But what if we’ve been looking at failure all wrong? A growing body of research in psychology and education suggests that failure, when approached correctly, is not a dead end but a critical crossroads on the path to growth and innovation.(但如果我们一直都误解了失败呢？心理学和教育学领域越来越多的研究表明，若能以正确的态度面对失败，它并非死胡同，而是通往成长与创新之路上的关键十字路口。)”可知，第一段先指出社会对失败的固有看法，再提出对失败的全新视角，即正确面对的失败是成长和创新的关键，核心是介绍关于失败作用的新观点。故选B项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Those with a growth mindset, however, see abilities as muscles that can be developed. They interpret failure not as evidence of their inability, but as a valuable source of information — a signal that their current strategy isn’t working and needs adjustment. (然而，拥有成长型思维的人将能力视为可以锻炼的肌肉。他们不把失败解读为自身无能的证明，而是将其视为宝贵的信息来源——一个表明当前策略行不通、需要调整的信号。)”可知，成长型思维的人把失败看作学习的机会，还会依据失败调整自身策略。故选A项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This reframing transforms failure from a threat into a teacher. In the scientific community, “negative results” — experiments that don’t work as hypothesized (假定) — are increasingly published and valued because they tell future researchers what paths not to take, saving immense time and resources. Similarly, in the world of entrepreneurship (企业家精神), seasoned founders often speak of their early failed ventures as their most formative education, teaching them lessons about markets, teams, and resilience (恢复力) that no business school case study could. (这种重新解读将失败从一种威胁转变为一位老师。在科学界，“阴性结果”——那些未按假设进行的实验——正越来越多地被发表并受到重视，因为它们告诉未来的研究人员哪些道路不可走，节省了大量的时间和资源。同样，在创业领域，经验丰富的创始人常常将自己早期失败的创业项目称为最具启发性的教育，这些经历教给他们的关于市场、团队和恢复力的经验，是任何商学院的案例研究都无法比拟的。)”可知，作者提及科学界的阴性结果和创业领域的失败项目，是为了举例说明失败能成为具有指导性的反馈，为后续发展提供经验。故选C项。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The learning potential of failure depends on the quality of the reflection that follows it. Simply repeating the same mistakes leads nowhere. Productive failure involves a deliberate process: analyzing what went wrong, identifying controllable factors, seeking feedback, and formulating a new plan of action.(失败的学习潜力取决于其后续反思的质量。简单地重复同样的错误毫无意义。有价值的失败包含一个深思熟虑的过程：分析问题所在、找出可控因素、寻求反馈并制定新的行动计划。)”可知，失败能否带来成长，取决于事后反思和分析的质量。故选C项。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“If we want to promote true innovation and resilient individuals, we must cultivate environments — in schools, workplaces, and homes — where intelligent, effort-based failure is not just tolerated, but welcomed as an essential step in the learning process. (如果我们想要培养真正具有创新能力和适应力的人，就必须在学校、工作场所和家庭中营造这样的环境——在这些环境中，出于智慧和努力的失败不仅被容忍，还会作为学习过程中必不可少的一步受到欢迎。)”可知，作者对于培养创新能力的最终建议是打造鼓励人们从用心付出后的失败中学习的环境。故选B项。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Eco city Farms is an educational nonprofit organization.

Among various Chinese traditions, I believe the custom of family reunions during the Spring Festival is most worthy of preservation. This centuries-old tradition, centered on sharing a lavish New Year’s Eve dinner and exchanging good wishes, strengthens family bonds and reinforces our cultural identity. However, in modern times, it faces undeniable challenges. With young people migrating for work or study, physical reunions become difficult. Meanwhile, digital greetings, while convenient, lack the warmth of face-to-face interaction. Some even view traditional rituals as outdated. Despite these challenges, the core value of the tradition — emphasizing family, gratitude, and hope — remains profoundly significant. To better pass it on to my generation, I propose we blend tradition with innovation. Schools and communities should organize experiential activities, like writing couplets or making dumplings, to make traditions engaging. Most importantly, elders can share stories behind the customs, helping us appreciate the spiritual essence rather than just follow routines. In conclusion, by creatively adapting and actively participating, we can ensure this precious tradition continues to thrive, connecting the past with our dynamic present. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以红光中学学生李津的身份，向校英文报“Voice of Youth”专栏投稿主题为“Embracing Tradition in a Modern World”的短文，需简述一项值得传承的中国传统，结合现代生活谈其面临的挑战与存在意义，并提出在年轻一代中传承的个人建议。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 各种各样的：various → diverse 加强：strengthen → fortify 不可否认的：undeniable → undisputed 繁荣：thrive → flourish 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：With young people migrating for work or study, physical reunions become difficult. 拓展句：Physical reunions become difficult because young people migrate for work or study, which is a common phenomenon in modern society. 【点睛】【高分句型1】This centuries-old tradition, centered on sharing a lavish New Year’s Eve dinner and exchanging good wishes, strengthens family bonds and reinforces our cultural identity.（运用了过去分词短语作后置定语修饰tradition） 【高分句型2】In conclusion, by creatively adapting and actively participating, we can ensure this precious tradition continues to thrive, connecting the past with our dynamic present.（运用了动名词短语作宾语以及，现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
