Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay.Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements?Or will they see the big word “fail” in red?The shadow of this mysterious(神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations.It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule.When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded:“I don't know.” They themselves don't know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty.Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities.Determined to follow my instincts(本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy.The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning.
Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad(平台) for my next big achievement.In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl.Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look.Nevertheless, this interview wasn't a wasted opportunity.I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself.
This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior.I managed to secure a leadership position.Ultimately, success came little by little.
24.Throughout the Junior year, what was the author's major concern?
A.Pressure from choosing AP classes.
B.Performance in group interviews.
C.Competition with seniors.
D.Recognition by colleges.
25.The author chose fewer AP classes because of .
A.her own understanding of success
B.her desire for academic challenges
C.her strong urge to follow the crowd
D.her dream of entering a top university
26.Which would best describe the author's first group interview?
A.Dignifying. B.Rewarding.
C.Engaging. D.Relaxing.
27.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Everyone is the maker of their own success.
B.Success favours those with a golden heart.
C.Success knocks at your door only once.
D.A college holds the key to success.

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city—in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense(稠密) and exciting urban environments.She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials.The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another.Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form.The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact.Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”:shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
1.What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community?
A.Efficient public transport. B.Strong interaction between people.
C.Uniform style of buildings. D.A comparatively large population.
2.Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development?
A.Local residents. B.Government officials.
C.City planners. D.Construction workers.
3.How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built?
A.Lined with plants. B.Painted with clear signs.
C.Tightly connected. D.Convenient for the old.
4.According to Jacobs, the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of .
A.pride B.comfort
C.security D.urgency

Miguel Angel Gallo, born in Barcelona in 1933, has always had a passion for art.However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time.And about 10 years ago, Gallo's wife was diagnosed(诊断) with Alzheimer's disease, and her condition worsened to the point that she had to move into a care home.This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo's artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old.
Gallo initially studied mechanical engineering in Barcelona and later worked for a company in Zaragoza.In 1966, he pursued management studies at IESE Business School in Barcelona, and by 1968, he had become an associate professor there.
With his academic background, Gallo was determined to study at a respected institution.However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead.He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it.He graduated at the age of 90.
Gallo admires Francisco de Zurbarán for his masterful use of white, and Joaquín Sorolla for his skillful use of light.Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty.I don't mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.”
Some of Gallo's works were featured in an exhibition in Graus, a small village in the Pyrenees, where they were displayed for six months.Gallo humbly acknowledged, “After completing my degree, would I call myself an artist?I don't know, but at least now I have a piece of paper that says I am.”
5.What can be learnt about Gallo from paragraphs 1 and 2?
A.He prioritized his family over his interest.
B.He became a professor in his 20s.
C.He had a natural talent for doing business.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了米格尔·安赫尔·加洛一直对艺术充满热情,大约10年前,加洛的妻子被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病,她的病情恶化到不得不搬进护理院的地步。这段充满挑战的时期标志着加洛艺术之旅的开始,当时他已经83岁了。
【解析】
5.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time.”可知,由于经济资源有限且要养育和教育13个孩子,成为艺术家对他来说不是一个现实的选择,说明他把家庭放在了兴趣之前。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead.He was firm, replying, ‘No, I want to paint.’”可知,当他申请在巴塞罗那学习艺术时,别人鼓励他学习艺术史而不是绘画,即他不被建议画画。
7.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, ‘Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty.I don't mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.’”可知,学习艺术让他更加坚信生活中真正伟大的东西是善良、真理和美丽,他不介意赚钱,但越来越觉得这些其他的东西对他来说才是最重要的,说明他重新诠释了财富的意义,不再只看重金钱。
8.B 标题归纳题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo's artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old.”和第三段中“The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it.He graduated at the age of 90.”可知,文章主要讲述了米格尔·安赫尔·加洛虽然一直热爱艺术,但由于家庭原因直到 83 岁才开始他的艺术之旅,经过努力在 90 岁时完成艺术课程毕业,所以“Miguel Angel Gallo:A Late Start to Art”作为标题最合适。

In college, I usually anticipated icebreaker games at the start of some classes.We would introduce ourselves.It was fun to see the look of surprise on everyone's face when I said I was a chemical engineering major in creative writing seminars where most were English or comparative literature majors.A science major?In this building?Is he lost?
Their surprise would usually fade once the semester began and they learned that I wasn't very good.But it didn't matter; I loved the writing classes.I didn't much care—how and whether my classes would impact my career.I liked science and writing, so maybe I'd combine them, or maybe not.
But I know my experience is not exactly typical for scientists.I'm sure some students love science so intensely, or excel at it so much, that they have no interest in non-science classes.And science students may find the workload so high that pursuing outside academic interests is impractical.
But I have this fear that some science students avoid branching out, not because they don't want to, but because they believe they're not supposed to.They see their peers keeping their heads down, only focused on science, science, science, and they don't want to be the freaks(怪人) who admit loving their optional medieval history seminar.I've seen this trait in the students I taught.
In college, although my department head let me take writing classes, other professors didn't share the same open-mindedness.I sometimes doubted whether it was what I was supposed to do.The science, we're told, either explicitly or implicitly, is the important part.The other subjects are either requirements to bear or distractions to give up halfway.A good grade in organic chemistry?Amazing!You're going places!A good grade in a poetry seminar?Well...
You can be a scientist and do other things, too—and the time when you're enrolled in school is a perfect opportunity.In college, so many options for classes!You suddenly transition from a life where it's presumed that you have known enough to live to one with a diversity of choices.
So go ahead, add a class, add a hobby.Be well-rounded—yes, that well-rounded.
9.Why did the author, a science student, choose the writing seminar?
A.To play a scientific game.
B.To investigate the brain function.
C.To satisfy his personal pursuit.
D.To seek an opportunity to jump ship.
10.What characteristic does the author find in some of his students?
A.Focusing on doing better at medieval history.
B.Escaping expanding their fields out of peer pressure.
C.Developing outer potential academic interests.
D.Showing no passion for non-science classes naturally.
11.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A.Scientists are open-minded in academic study.
B.Every subject makes for your achievements.
C.All the subjects are not attached great importance to.
D.Self-doubt is the cause of poor grades.
12.What is the best title for the text?
A.To Become a Well-Rounded Scientist
B.To Foster a Hobby in College
C.To Author for Science
D.To Specialize in Science in College

9.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But it didn't matter; I loved the writing classes.I didn't much care—how and whether my classes would impact my career.I liked science and writing, so maybe I'd combine them, or maybe not.”可知,作者作为一名科学专业的学生,选择参加写作研讨会是为了满足个人追求,而不是为了玩科学游戏、调查大脑功能或寻找跳槽的机会。
10.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But I have this fear that some science students avoid branching out, not because they don't want to, but because they believe they're not supposed to.They see their peers keeping their heads down, only focused on science, science, science, and they don't want to be the freaks (怪人) who admit loving their optional medieval history seminar.”可知,作者发现一些学生因为同伴压力而避免拓展自己的兴趣领域。
11.C 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The science, we're told, either explicitly or implicitly, is the important part.The other subjects are either requirements to bear or distractions to give up halfway.A good grade in organic chemistry?Amazing!You're going places!A good grade in a poetry seminar?Well...”可知,科学是重要的一部分,而其他科目是勉为其难必须要上的科目或者半途而废的令人分心的科目。由此可推知,并非所有学科都被重视。
12.A 标题归纳题。根据最后一段“So go ahead, add a class, add a hobby.Be well-rounded—yes, that well-rounded.”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了作者鼓励科学专业的学生在大学期间尝试不同的课程和爱好,以成为一个全面发展的人。因此,A选项“To Become a Well-Rounded Scientist”符合题意。

These days, I have been gathering contributions for Class Notes from my classmates at the Brearley School.Seven contributions have come in.They are long or short, emotional or matter-of-fact, and now my job will be to cut and select, rephrase and quote, and count words from each contributor—our entire collection will have to add up to no more than six hundred and fifty words.
The tough part is trying to give more or less equal space to each of these life accounts, since some of us tend to relate incidents in great detail while others are tight-lipped.If nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words.If another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five.Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey?The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble(拼字游戏) competition?
Why did I decide I would not mind being a class-notes agent?I suppose I pursue any piece of writing for two main reasons.First, I like the challenge of trying a new form.In this case, my task is to rearrange the writings of a range of personalities to create one fairly smooth whole.The second reason is always emotional.Here, one source of my emotion was the years-long experience of the school itself.I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being:“You're a writer.”
As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I've never stopped valuing every moment in this job.For me, my classmates are still full of youthful energy, passion, or disgust or tearful hurt.I'm not sure I'm naturally gifted at turning all these colorful details into a brief and entertaining account.That's how I do it—quote their own words as often as I can.
13.What does the author need to do with the contributions?
A.Edit and adjust them. B.Collect and grade them.
C.Ensure the variety of them. D.Add personal comments to them.
14.How does the author explain the difficulty of the job?
A.By citing quotes. B.By listing examples.
C.By making comparisons. D.By giving definitions.
15.What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?
A.She prioritizes new forms.
B.She prefers emotional writing.
C.She is hesitant about the role.
D.She is acknowledged by her classmates.
16.What does the author think of the job?
A.It's stressful. B.It's worthwhile.
C.It's straightforward. D.It's troublesome.

“Being overly logical and rational is the wrong way to make important life decisions,” says Michael Puett in his class, after a student asks how to deal with the issues at the crossroads of life.“Decisions are made from the heart.In Chinese, ‘mind’ and ‘heart’ are inseparable.We would make better decisions when we let our rational and emotional sides blend(融合) into one.” Puett is one of the scholars who teach students ancient Chinese philosophy at Harvard University.
Puett has seen more students who are feeling pushed onto a very specific path towards very concrete career goals.Thus, he set up the course and helped the college students struggling to find their place in the world figure out how to have a good life and create a good society.His course has gone viral among the Harvard students.
One of Puett's former students, Adam Mitchell, attracted by Chinese philosophy, was once at a loss.During that time, majors related to finance and economics were quite popular.Few students would choose humanities.Adam had intended to major in economics.But after his introduction to the professor's course, he chose to follow his own heart and study Chinese, and knew what his life goal was.
Puett believes we should train ourselves to be “spontaneous(率性的)” in daily life, much like practicing the piano to play effortlessly, instead of relying only on rational decision-making.At the end of each class, Puett challenges his students to put the Chinese philosophy into practice in their everyday lives.“I'm not trying to give my students really big advice.Instead, I just want to give them a sense of what they can do daily to transform how they live.”
1.What is Puett's suggestion for decision-making?
A.Follow rules and guidelines.
B.Integrate heart and mind.
C.Depend on reason and logic.
D.Rely on emotions and feelings.
2.Why does Puett teach students Chinese philosophy?
A.To spread Chinese culture.
B.To make students more rational.
C.To make his course popular.
D.To offer guidance for a better life.
3.Why does the author mention Adam Mitchell?
A.To show Puett's influence on students.
B.To recommend Puett's course to others.
C.To explain the struggles in philosophy.
D.To inspire major changes in students.
4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Students' learning process.
B.Practical daily tasks.
C.Puett's teaching approach.
D.After-class assignments.

When you hit middle age, there are some universal truths you begin to notice and accept, and that goes double when you're traveling with your parents.You really are turning into your mother(or father)...and maybe that is not such a terrible thing.I recently spent six days visiting my parents in their winter snowbird home just outside of Tampa, Florida.Mom and Dad were delighted in the tour guide role here in this middle ground, not our Indiana hometown and not British Columbia, where I've been living with my kids for years.
It felt strange at first, me being a “kid” again at age 50.It was a rare window when I wasn't caring for my own kids and my parents, who were still healthy and mobile and didn't yet need my care.I could relax.I could play.Without any responsibilities or distractions, I could savor(尽情享受) just being a daughter.
On this trip, I realized just how much I see myself in my parents.I was a little surprised to realize this fact didn't make me roll my eyes and make an “I'm turning into my mother” joke.Instead, I found myself smiling and embracing turning into my mother and father, because that's exactly who I've always been.
Traveling with my aging parents, I not only realized how lucky I am, but also knew this could be our last trip together, just the three of us.I couldn't help but reflect on how delicate life is and how precious these moments of being together are.My parents are still together, in good health, and have mobility.I can't think of anyone at my age who is in the same situation with their parents.
On the drive to the airport, Dad launched into his usual sort of closing paragraph that he does at the end of every visit.He mentioned the highlights of the week and asked about everyone else's favorite memories from our time together.Then he shifted to what we wanted to do the next time.I smiled, realizing I do this closing paragraph too, when I'm saying goodbye to my girls.
5.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph l refer to?
A.Traveling with parents at middle age.
B.Getting a deeper understanding of life.
C.Turning into a copy of one's parents.
D.Finding more time to accompany parents.
6.Why did the author describe the trip as a rare window?
A.Because there was little time left for her aging parents.
B.Because it was a period to free herself of worries.
C.Because it was a good chance to reflect on herself.
D.Because it offered a valuable memory.
7.What conclusion does the author try to draw while traveling with her parents?
A.We are always kids in our parents' eyes.
B.Parents' present situation mirrors our future.
C.Be grateful and treasure the time with parents.
D.A closing speech to a child is a must for every parent.
8.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To share her reflection.
B.To introduce a trip.
C.To remember her parents.
D.To urge care for parents.

Emma Carter, a 28-year-old fashion designer, first started exploring ways to reduce her expenses when she realized her monthly spending was higher than her income.She searched online for budgeting tips and money-saving strategies and soon discovered the world of cashback websites and loyalty programs, which she now uses regularly to save money on her everyday purchases.

“Where can I find your disability section?” This was the question that baffled Waterstones staff when asked by Dr Hannah Barham Brown.It should have been a pretty straightforward answer.Hannah was looking for the part of the shop where non-fiction books about disability and by disabled authors were kept, but the question drew a blank.
This is because most bookshops don't have a specific place for non-fiction disabled books.Where there are sections for non-fiction books on important sections of identity such as race, gender and social studies, disability has been forgotten about again.
Hannah took to social media to share her disappointment and it resonated(共鸣)with much of the disabled community.After being asked by one Waterstones staff member if she could fill a shelf, she sourced a long list that could take up a whole bookcase.And there is a huge number of them to choose from.There are also some incredible new and upcoming books by disabled voices.And hopefully, in the coming years, my own memoir book will also sit alongside them.
From my own experience, the book-writing world is a hard space to access as a disabled woman.We're constantly told there isn't a market for our books or cheated off by agents and publishers who say they already have something similar—when often the only similarity is that we're disabled women.Not having our own section feeds these problems.The response I've had to this campaign shows that the demand for these books is there.
Growing up I would get swept up in stories of regular girls having adventures—but as someone treated with multiple conditions from the age of nine onwards, I very rarely saw myself in the pages I was pouring over.Growing up I never saw myself in books and it was one of the reasons I struggled to accept my disabilities.Hopefully disabled kids will grow up learning they're fine just as they are.
1.What does the underlined word “baffled” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Amused. B.Moved.
C.Confused. D.Angered.
2.What is the problem with books for the disabled in the bookstore?
A.Few of them are published.
B.No special areas are for them.
C.The latest ones are in short supply.
D.They are seen as non-fiction books.
3.What can be inferred about the author?
A.She is a writer. B.She is a teacher.
C.She is a historian. D.She is a librarian.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To donate books to the disabled.
B.To promote books from the disabled.
C.To support education for the disabled.
D.To address reading needs for the disabled.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了Hannah Barham Brown博士在水石书店询问关于残障方面书籍区位置却未得到答案一事,再结合自己作为残障女性在图书创作领域的艰难经历,探讨了书店缺乏残障类书籍专区所带来的问题。
【解析】
1.C 词句猜测题。根据第一段“‘Where can I find your disability section?’ This was the question that baffled Waterstones staff when asked by Dr Hannah Barham Brown.It should have been a pretty straightforward answer.Hannah was looking for the part of the shop where non-fiction books about disability and by disabled authors were kept, but the question drew a blank.”可知,Hannah Barham Brown博士问的问题本应是一个相当简单直接就能回答的问题,然而书店工作人员却对此答不上来。问题答不出来,工作人员应该是感到困惑。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,大多数书店没有为关于残障的非虚构类书籍设立特定的区域。在书店里有关于种族、性别和社会研究等重要身份领域的非虚构类书籍专区,但残障方面的书籍区域却被遗忘了。所以书店里残障相关书籍存在的问题是没有专门为它们设立的区域。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“And hopefully, in the coming years, my own memoir book will also sit alongside them.”以及第四段中“From my own experience, the book-writing world is a hard space to access as a disabled woman.We're constantly told there isn't a market for our books or cheated off by agents and publishers who say they already have something similar—when often the only similarity is that we're disabled women.”可知,作者提到希望自己的回忆录能和其他残障人士创作的书籍摆在一起,还讲述了自己作为残障女性在图书创作领域遇到的困难,如被告知书籍没有市场、被经纪人和出版商欺骗等。由此可推测,作者是一名作家。
4.D 写作意图题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇讲述了Hannah Barham Brown博士在书店找不到残障类书籍专区的经历,接着指出书店普遍缺乏这类专区的现象,然后作者结合自身作为残障女性在图书创作领域的艰难经历,说明残障类书籍有需求却面临诸多困境,最后提到自己成长过程中很少在书中看到与自己相关的内容,希望残障儿童能通过相关书籍认识到自己本来的样子就很好。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是满足残障人士的阅读需求。

Jared was my regular hiking, ice-climbing and mountain-biking fellow.We were on an overnight trip, just a single night, and what he'd brought for dinner was this:Rice.Literally nothing else.
This was not a result of him trying to pack as light as possible, nor was it because he was broke.He wasn't.I tried to convince him to at least put soy sauce(酱油) on it.But no, Jared wasn't having a bar of it.“I don't need it,” he said flatly.
Now, if he was talking only about outdoors' meals, I'd almost get it.When you're ravenous after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or backcountry skiing in the mountains, how awesome do things taste!I know what you're thinking; it's simply that, as the saying goes, hunger is the best sauce.And I agree.Absolutely.
But there's more to it than that.Last month, I went down the coast car camping with my family.One morning, my wife made a statement.“I don't see the point,” she said.“It's so much work, camping.But the views at home are better.The beds are more comfortable.It's more peaceful.And at home, the food is better.” I'll admit she's right about the first three.But the food?We had a simple pasta one night, snags another, chicken curry the third, but they all tasted good.Better than at home.And it wasn't simply that we were hungry; it was because we were camping.
The real point I want to get to is that meals largely taste so good when I'm camping because I'm reminded of some things easily forgotten at home, where I can simply go to the cupboard, or the supermarket, and get whatever takes my fancy.Life, when you're camping, is reduced to its essentials, and I am reminded of how lucky most of us are to be dry and warm and fed.More importantly, I am reminded that sadly, and in fact unforgivably, not all of us are.And I am reminded that we, as a society, should do better for them.
5.Why did Jared bring only rice for dinner on the trip?
A.He didn't like soy sauce.
B.He preferred to travel light.
C.He couldn't afford a better meal.
D.He enjoyed simple outdoor meals.
6.What does the underlined word “ravenous” in the third paragraph mean?
A.Tired. B.Starving.
C.Fulfilled. D.Refreshed.
7.What does the author think of camping?
A.It is a test of adaptability.
B.It is a chance to enjoy good food.
C.It is a reminder of the good life he has.
D.It is a bonding experience for his family.
8.What makes the author sad according to the last paragraph?
A.Some people lack the basic necessities of life.
B.Some people fail to appreciate what they have.
C.People easily forget the beauty of simple things.
D.People easily quit camping due to its discomfort.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述作者的朋友旅行只带米饭以及家人露营的经历,阐述了露营时食物美味的原因,还引发了对生活的思考。
【解析】
5.D 细节理解题。根据第二段“This was not a result of him trying to pack as light as possible, nor was it because he was broke.He wasn't.I tried to convince him to at least put soy sauce(酱油) on it.But no, Jared wasn't having a bar of it.‘I don't need it,’ he said flatly.”可知,贾里德坚持只吃米饭,不是因为他尽量轻装上阵,不是因为他没钱吃不起更好的饭菜,文中也没有明确表示他不喜欢酱油,所以,他只吃米饭是因为他喜欢简单的户外餐食。
6.B 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在部分“When you're ravenous after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or backcountry skiing in the mountains, how awesome do things taste!I know what you're thinking; it's simply that, as the saying goes, hunger is the best sauce.”中“after a day of burning off calories”和“hunger is the best sauce”可知,经过一天的卡路里消耗后,会感到饥饿,食物会变得美味。
7.C 观点态度题。根据最后一段中“The real point I want to get to is that meals largely taste so good when I'm camping because I'm reminded of some things easily forgotten at home, where I can simply go to the cupboard, or the supermarket, and get whatever takes my fancy.Life, when you're camping, is reduced to its essentials, and I am reminded of how lucky most of us are to be dry and warm and fed.”可知,作者认为露营能让他想起在家里很容易忘记的东西,想起自己所拥有的美好生活。
8.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Life, when you're camping, is reduced to its essentials, and I am reminded of how lucky most of us are to be dry and warm and fed.More importantly, I am reminded that sadly, and in fact unforgivably, not all of us are.And I am reminded that we, as a society, should do better for them.”可知,作者想到并非所有人都能保持干燥、温暖和吃饱,作者因为想到一些人缺乏基本生活必需品而感到难过。

I can't remember how many times I've been asked, “If you could have a superpower, what would it be?” My answer would always be the same:I'd want the ability to know what people are thinking.Absolutely, flying and invisibility had crossed my mind.But every time, I'd always settle on perceiving people's thoughts.As a curious person, I'm always wondering what is going through someone's head.And what if I somehow had the superpower I'd always wanted, like Hal Stewart in Megamind, and was able to hear people's inner voice?
In a friend group, I usually take a backseat in conversations, watching everyone else interacting and occasionally contributing my opinion.Seeing how people communicate with each other makes me wonder what is really going on in their heads.Whether we admit it or not, we always keep some thoughts to ourselves.It's human nature, after all.Yet our tendency to hide certain feelings and unintentionally judge others keeps me on edge.It's what makes me want to know what people are thinking.I'm constantly afraid of what people think of me.Do I look bad?Did I do something wrong?
These thoughts often consume me and make me overthink.I overthink people's reactions, movements and even words.I overthink past conversations I had, wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine.
Ultimately, I've come to realize that it shouldn't really matter what other people think.While knowing what people think of me may settle any doubts I have about myself or a relationship, it's an overwhelmingly(压倒性地) exhausting ability to have.
Indeed, it's not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone.You only have so much control over that.Focus on what you can control, but don't overthink.At the end of Megamind, Hal realizes all his “superpowers” made him the villain(坏蛋).They consumed him; having the powers wasn't worth it in the end.
So let go.Because in the end, does it really matter what other people think?No superpower is 100 percent worth it.
9.What special ability was the author eager to possess?
A.Flying in the air freely.
B.Being made invisible.
C.Controlling others' thoughts.
D.Reading people's minds.
10.How does the author describe himself in a social circle?
A.He dominates conversations.
B.He is a relatively reserved one.
C.He consistently shares his opinions.
D.He is more of a talker than a listener.
11.What is the author's final realization about the superpower?
A.It doesn't appear cool at all.
B.It can't settle any doubts about himself.
C.It can be time-consuming and stressful.
D.It makes him overthink positive things.
12.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Let Go of These Thoughts
B.The Pursuit of Superpower
C.Keep Your Thoughts to Yourself
D.The Burden of Superpower
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对于拥有“读心术”这一超能力的渴望,以及这种渴望背后的心理动机——对他人想法的好奇和对自我认知的焦虑。
【解析】
9.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I can't remember how many times I've been asked, ‘If you could have a superpower, what would it be?’ My answer would always be the same:I'd want the ability to know what people are thinking.Absolutely, flying and invisibility had crossed my mind.But every time, I'd always settle on perceiving people's thoughts.”可知,作者每次被问到如果能拥有一种超能力想要什么时,答案总是想要知道别人在想什么的能力,也就是能够读懂人们的心思。
10.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a friend group, I usually take a backseat in conversations, watching everyone else interacting and occasionally contributing my opinion.”可知,在朋友群体的交谈中,作者通常处于次要位置,看着其他人互动,只是偶尔发表一下自己的观点。这体现出作者在社交圈子里是比较含蓄、内敛、不那么活跃和主动表达的。
11.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中“While knowing what people think of me may settle any doubts I have about myself or a relationship, it's an overwhelmingly (压倒性地) exhausting ability to have.”以及第五段“Indeed, it's not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone.You only have so much control over that.Focus on what you can control, but don't overthink.At the end of Megamind, Hal realizes all his ‘superpowers’ made him the villain(坏蛋).They consumed him; having the powers wasn't worth it in the end.”可知,作者最终意识到虽然知道别人对自己的看法可能会消除对自己或关系的疑虑,但拥有这种超能力是非常累人的,不值得浪费时间、精力和情感去担心别人对自己的看法,这种超能力会消耗自己,也就是这种超能力既耗时又会带来压力。
12.A 标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇作者表明渴望拥有能读懂别人心思的超能力,接着阐述在社交圈中自己因好奇他人想法以及担心他人对自己的看法而过度思考,之后又提到拥有这种超能力会让人疲惫不堪,就像电影《超级大坏蛋》里的Hal一样,超能力最终将他吞噬,让他成为了坏蛋,最后作者得出结论,这种能力可能会带来的负担,因此主张放下这些想法,不必过分在意他人的看法。选项A“Let Go of These Thoughts”能够概括文章内容。

Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay.Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements?Or will they see the big word “fail” in red?The shadow of this mysterious(神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations.It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule.When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded:“I don't know.” They themselves don't know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty.Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities.Determined to follow my instincts(本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy.The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning.
Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad(平台) for my next big achievement.In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl.Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look.Nevertheless, this interview wasn't a wasted opportunity.I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself.
This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior.I managed to secure a leadership position.Ultimately, success came little by little.
24.Throughout the Junior year, what was the author's major concern?
A.Pressure from choosing AP classes.
B.Performance in group interviews.
C.Competition with seniors.
D.Recognition by colleges.
25.The author chose fewer AP classes because of .
A.her own understanding of success
B.her desire for academic challenges
C.her strong urge to follow the crowd
D.her dream of entering a top university
26.Which would best describe the author's first group interview?
A.Dignifying. B.Rewarding.
C.Engaging. D.Relaxing.
27.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Everyone is the maker of their own success.
B.Success favours those with a golden heart.
C.Success knocks at your door only once.
D.A college holds the key to success.

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city—in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense(稠密) and exciting urban environments.She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials.The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another.Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form.The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact.Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”:shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
1.What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community?
A.Efficient public transport. B.Strong interaction between people.
C.Uniform style of buildings. D.A comparatively large population.
2.Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development?
A.Local residents. B.Government officials.
C.City planners. D.Construction workers.
3.How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built?
A.Lined with plants. B.Painted with clear signs.
C.Tightly connected. D.Convenient for the old.
4.According to Jacobs, the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of .
A.pride B.comfort
C.security D.urgency

Miguel Angel Gallo, born in Barcelona in 1933, has always had a passion for art.However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time.And about 10 years ago, Gallo's wife was diagnosed(诊断) with Alzheimer's disease, and her condition worsened to the point that she had to move into a care home.This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo's artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old.
Gallo initially studied mechanical engineering in Barcelona and later worked for a company in Zaragoza.In 1966, he pursued management studies at IESE Business School in Barcelona, and by 1968, he had become an associate professor there.
With his academic background, Gallo was determined to study at a respected institution.However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead.He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it.He graduated at the age of 90.
Gallo admires Francisco de Zurbarán for his masterful use of white, and Joaquín Sorolla for his skillful use of light.Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty.I don't mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.”
Some of Gallo's works were featured in an exhibition in Graus, a small village in the Pyrenees, where they were displayed for six months.Gallo humbly acknowledged, “After completing my degree, would I call myself an artist?I don't know, but at least now I have a piece of paper that says I am.”
5.What can be learnt about Gallo from paragraphs 1 and 2?
A.He prioritized his family over his interest.
B.He became a professor in his 20s.
C.He had a natural talent for doing business.
D.He lived with poor health for long.
6.What happened to Gallo when he applied to study art in Barcelona?
A.He was required to study longer.
B.He was not advised to paint.
C.He was introduced to other institutes.
D.He was not allowed to get a degree.
7.How has studying art affected Gallo?
A.He has reflected on his health condition.
B.He has become much humbler.
C.He has reinterpreted the meaning of wealth.
D.He has developed true friendships.
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.Miguel Angel Gallo:An Art Genius.

In college, I usually anticipated icebreaker games at the start of some classes.We would introduce ourselves.It was fun to see the look of surprise on everyone's face when I said I was a chemical engineering major in creative writing seminars where most were English or comparative literature majors.A science major?In this building?Is he lost?
Their surprise would usually fade once the semester began and they learned that I wasn't very good.But it didn't matter; I loved the writing classes.I didn't much care—how and whether my classes would impact my career.I liked science and writing, so maybe I'd combine them, or maybe not.
But I know my experience is not exactly typical for scientists.I'm sure some students love science so intensely, or excel at it so much, that they have no interest in non-science classes.And science students may find the workload so high that pursuing outside academic interests is impractical.
But I have this fear that some science students avoid branching out, not because they don't want to, but because they believe they're not supposed to.They see their peers keeping their heads down, only focused on science, science, science, and they don't want to be the freaks(怪人) who admit loving their optional medieval history seminar.I've seen this trait in the students I taught.
In college, although my department head let me take writing classes, other professors didn't share the same open-mindedness.I sometimes doubted whether it was what I was supposed to do.The science, we're told, either explicitly or implicitly, is the important part.The other subjects are either requirements to bear or distractions to give up halfway.A good grade in organic chemistry?Amazing!You're going places!A good grade in a poetry seminar?Well...
You can be a scientist and do other things, too—and the time when you're enrolled in school is a perfect opportunity.In college, so many options for classes!You suddenly transition from a life where it's presumed that you have known enough to live to one with a diversity of choices.
So go ahead, add a class, add a hobby.Be well-rounded—yes, that well-rounded.
9.Why did the author, a science student, choose the writing seminar?
A.To play a scientific game.
B.To investigate the brain function.
C.To satisfy his personal pursuit.
D.To seek an opportunity to jump ship.
10.What characteristic does the author find in some of his students?
A.Focusing on doing better at medieval history.
B.Escaping expanding their fields out of peer pressure.
C.Developing outer potential academic interests.
D.Showing no passion for non-science classes naturally.
11.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A.Scientists are open-minded in academic study.
B.Every subject makes for your achievements.
C.All the subjects are not attached great importance to.
D.Self-doubt is the cause of poor grades.

The tough part is trying to give more or less equal space to each of these life accounts, since some of us tend to relate incidents in great detail while others are tight-lipped.If nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words.If another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five.Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey?The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble(拼字游戏) competition?
Why did I decide I would not mind being a class-notes agent?I suppose I pursue any piece of writing for two main reasons.First, I like the challenge of trying a new form.In this case, my task is to rearrange the writings of a range of personalities to create one fairly smooth whole.The second reason is always emotional.Here, one source of my emotion was the years-long experience of the school itself.I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being:“You're a writer.”
As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I've never stopped valuing every moment in this job.For me, my classmates are still full of youthful energy, passion, or disgust or tearful hurt.I'm not sure I'm naturally gifted at turning all these colorful details into a brief and entertaining account.That's how I do it—quote their own words as often as I can.
13.What does the author need to do with the contributions?
A.Edit and adjust them. B.Collect and grade them.
C.Ensure the variety of them. D.Add personal comments to them.
14.How does the author explain the difficulty of the job?
A.By citing quotes. B.By listing examples.
C.By making comparisons. D.By giving definitions.
15.What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?
A.She prioritizes new forms.
B.She prefers emotional writing.
C.She is hesitant about the role.
D.She is acknowledged by her classmates.
16.What does the author think of the job?
A.It's stressful. B.It's worthwhile.
C.It's straightforward. D.It's troublesome.

“Being overly logical and rational is the wrong way to make important life decisions,” says Michael Puett in his class, after a student asks how to deal with the issues at the crossroads of life.“Decisions are made from the heart.In Chinese, ‘mind’ and ‘heart’ are inseparable.We would make better decisions when we let our rational and emotional sides blend(融合) into one.” Puett is one of the scholars who teach students ancient Chinese philosophy at Harvard University.
Puett has seen more students who are feeling pushed onto a very specific path towards very concrete career goals.Thus, he set up the course and helped the college students struggling to find their place in the world figure out how to have a good life and create a good society.His course has gone viral among the Harvard students.
One of Puett's former students, Adam Mitchell, attracted by Chinese philosophy, was once at a loss.During that time, majors related to finance and economics were quite popular.Few students would choose humanities.Adam had intended to major in economics.But after his introduction to the professor's course, he chose to follow his own heart and study Chinese, and knew what his life goal was.
Puett believes we should train ourselves to be “spontaneous(率性的)” in daily life, much like practicing the piano to play effortlessly, instead of relying only on rational decision-making.At the end of each class, Puett challenges his students to put the Chinese philosophy into practice in their everyday lives.“I'm not trying to give my students really big advice.Instead, I just want to give them a sense of what they can do daily to transform how they live.”

When you hit middle age, there are some universal truths you begin to notice and accept, and that goes double when you're traveling with your parents.You really are turning into your mother(or father)...and maybe that is not such a terrible thing.I recently spent six days visiting my parents in their winter snowbird home just outside of Tampa, Florida.Mom and Dad were delighted in the tour guide role here in this middle ground, not our Indiana hometown and not British Columbia, where I've been living with my kids for years.
It felt strange at first, me being a “kid” again at age 50.It was a rare window when I wasn't caring for my own kids and my parents, who were still healthy and mobile and didn't yet need my care.I could relax.I could play.Without any responsibilities or distractions, I could savor(尽情享受) just being a daughter.
On this trip, I realized just how much I see myself in my parents.I was a little surprised to realize this fact didn't make me roll my eyes and make an “I'm turning into my mother” joke.Instead, I found myself smiling and embracing turning into my mother and father, because that's exactly who I've always been.
Traveling with my aging parents, I not only realized how lucky I am, but also knew this could be our last trip together, just the three of us.I couldn't help but reflect on how delicate life is and how precious these moments of being together are.My parents are still together, in good health, and have mobility.I can't think of anyone at my age who is in the same situation with their parents.
On the drive to the airport, Dad launched into his usual sort of closing paragraph that he does at the end of every visit.He mentioned the highlights of the week and asked about everyone else's favorite memories from our time together.Then he shifted to what we wanted to do the next time.I smiled, realizing I do this closing paragraph too, when I'm saying goodbye to my girls.

“Where can I find your disability section?” This was the question that baffled Waterstones staff when asked by Dr Hannah Barham Brown.It should have been a pretty straightforward answer.Hannah was looking for the part of the shop where non-fiction books about disability and by disabled authors were kept, but the question drew a blank.
This is because most bookshops don't have a specific place for non-fiction disabled books.Where there are sections for non-fiction books on important sections of identity such as race, gender and social studies, disability has been forgotten about again.
Hannah took to social media to share her disappointment and it resonated(共鸣)with much of the disabled community.After being asked by one Waterstones staff member if she could fill a shelf, she sourced a long list that could take up a whole bookcase.And there is a huge number of them to choose from.There are also some incredible new and upcoming books by disabled voices.And hopefully, in the coming years, my own memoir book will also sit alongside them.
From my own experience, the book-writing world is a hard space to access as a disabled woman.We're constantly told there isn't a market for our books or cheated off by agents and publishers who say they already have something similar—when often the only similarity is that we're disabled women.Not having our own section feeds these problems.The response I've had to this campaign shows that the demand for these books is there.
Growing up I would get swept up in stories of regular girls having adventures—but as someone treated with multiple conditions from the age of nine onwards, I very rarely saw myself in the pages I was pouring over.Growing up I never saw myself in books and it was one of the reasons I struggled to accept my disabilities.Hopefully disabled kids will grow up learning they're fine just as they are.
1.What does the underlined word “baffled” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Amused. B.Moved.
C.Confused. D.Angered.
2.What is the problem with books for the disabled in the bookstore?
A.Few of them are published.
B.No special areas are for them.
C.The latest ones are in short supply.
D.They are seen as non-fiction books.
3.What can be inferred about the author?
A.She is a writer. B.She is a teacher.
C.She is a historian. D.She is a librarian.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To donate books to the disabled.
B.To promote books from the disabled.
C.To support education for the disabled.
D.To address reading needs for the disabled.

Jared was my regular hiking, ice-climbing and mountain-biking fellow.We were on an overnight trip, just a single night, and what he'd brought for dinner was this:Rice.Literally nothing else.
This was not a result of him trying to pack as light as possible, nor was it because he was broke.He wasn't.I tried to convince him to at least put soy sauce(酱油) on it.But no, Jared wasn't having a bar of it.“I don't need it,” he said flatly.
Now, if he was talking only about outdoors' meals, I'd almost get it.When you're ravenous after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or backcountry skiing in the mountains, how awesome do things taste!I know what you're thinking; it's simply that, as the saying goes, hunger is the best sauce.And I agree.Absolutely.
But there's more to it than that.Last month, I went down the coast car camping with my family.One morning, my wife made a statement.“I don't see the point,” she said.“It's so much work, camping.But the views at home are better.The beds are more comfortable.It's more peaceful.And at home, the food is better.” I'll admit she's right about the first three.But the food?We had a simple pasta one night, snags another, chicken curry the third, but they all tasted good.Better than at home.And it wasn't simply that we were hungry; it was because we were camping.
The real point I want to get to is that meals largely taste so good when I'm camping because I'm reminded of some things easily forgotten at home, where I can simply go to the cupboard, or the supermarket, and get whatever takes my fancy.Life, when you're camping, is reduced to its essentials, and I am reminded of how lucky most of us are to be dry and warm and fed.More importantly, I am reminded that sadly, and in fact unforgivably, not all of us are.And I am reminded that we, as a society, should do better for them.
5.Why did Jared bring only rice for dinner on the trip?
A.He didn't like soy sauce.

7.What does the author think of camping?
A.It is a test of adaptability.
B.It is a chance to enjoy good food.
C.It is a reminder of the good life he has.
D.It is a bonding experience for his family.

D.People easily quit camping due to its discomfort.

I can't remember how many times I've been asked, “If you could have a superpower, what would it be?” My answer would always be the same:I'd want the ability to know what people are thinking.Absolutely, flying and invisibility had crossed my mind.But every time, I'd always settle on perceiving people's thoughts.As a curious person, I'm always wondering what is going through someone's head.And what if I somehow had the superpower I'd always wanted, like Hal Stewart in Megamind, and was able to hear people's inner voice?
In a friend group, I usually take a backseat in conversations, watching everyone else interacting and occasionally contributing my opinion.Seeing how people communicate with each other makes me wonder what is really going on in their heads.Whether we admit it or not, we always keep some thoughts to ourselves.It's human nature, after all.Yet our tendency to hide certain feelings and unintentionally judge others keeps me on edge.It's what makes me want to know what people are thinking.I'm constantly afraid of what people think of me.Do I look bad?Did I do something wrong?
These thoughts often consume me and make me overthink.I overthink people's reactions, movements and even words.I overthink past conversations I had, wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine.
Ultimately, I've come to realize that it shouldn't really matter what other people think.While knowing what people think of me may settle any doubts I have about myself or a relationship, it's an overwhelmingly(压倒性地) exhausting ability to have.
Indeed, it's not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone.You only have so much control over that.Focus on what you can control, but don't overthink.At the end of Megamind, Hal realizes all his “superpowers” made him the villain(坏蛋).They consumed him; having the powers wasn't worth it in the end.
So let go.Because in the end, does it really matter what other people think?No superpower is 100 percent worth it.
9.What special ability was the author eager to possess?
A.Flying in the air freely.
B.Being made invisible.
C.Controlling others' thoughts.
D.Reading people's minds.
10.How does the author describe himself in a social circle?
A.He dominates conversations.
B.He is a relatively reserved one.
C.He consistently shares his opinions.
D.He is more of a talker than a listener.
11.What is the author's final realization about the superpower?
A.It doesn't appear cool at all.
B.It can't settle any doubts about himself.
C.It can be time-consuming and stressful.
D.It makes him overthink positive things.
12.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Let Go of These Thoughts
B.The Pursuit of Superpower
C.Keep Your Thoughts to Yourself
D.The Burden of Superpower
