Back then, we lived at our grandparents’ house in Oceanside, California. Our financial situation became increasingly strained after my father, who had dedicated over two decades to serving in the U.S. Air Force, honorably retired and subsequently encountered challenges in securing a stable position in the civilian workforce. We were also struggling to find an affordable place to call our own. It would have been easy to give in to frustration. But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever. However, I only appreciated the full extent of her wisdom many years later. Once or twice a week, she would lead us to the bus stop, and from there we would “see the world”. The public transportation system was extensive, and with one ticket we could ride all day. My mom studied the routes carefully and guided us to a variety of destinations. Among our favorites was the mall in Carlsbad. At its center stood a glass clock tower with gears (齿轮) that rolled plastic balls along rails, bouncing them onto drums and ramps, then lifting them up again to repeat the cycle. The sight always drew a small crowd, mostly children. On other days, we took the bus to Strand Beach, where we watched ships in the distance and heard helicopters and aircraft soaring overhead toward the naval (海军的) base at Camp Pendleton. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was grateful to my mom for making that difficult period so enjoyable. Eventually, my father found a steady job, and we moved into a home in the countryside. My mom did more than distract us from our troubles. She instilled in us enthusiasm for keeping our eyes open and appreciating the world that was ours without having to really pay anything. Most importantly, she showed us that regardless of where we were, and what we were going through, there was something we could smile about somewhere. 24. Why did the family face difficulties? A. The father lost his job in the U.S. Air Force. B. The family had no fixed place of residence. C. They lived far away from the city. D. They lacked financial stability. 25. What was the mother’s primary purpose of the trip? A. To build a positive attitude to the world. B. To promote her husband at the naval base. C. To find a new home in the countryside. D. To explore job opportunities in Carlsbad. 26. What does the author most appreciate about his mom now? A. Her knowledge of public transportation. B. Her skill in planning detailed travel routes. C. Her wisdom in shaping their outlook on life. D. Her patience during their financial struggles. 27. Which word best describes the mother? A. Ambitious. B. Resourceful. C. Adventurous. D. Protective. C Understanding a simple-looking sentence like “I read this article yesterday” actually requires complex computation (计算): a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly instantly based on grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. His team has now found that the brain accommodates grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (衡量标准) quantifying how many new“predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (句法分析的) strategies that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase ends before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head before it was complete. A third model, in which listeners wait for all phrases before interpreting any part, is seldom used in either language. In Dutch, verbs sometimes come near the end of a sentence, explains study author Cas W. Coopmans. For instance, “because I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “because I a cookie with chocolate ate”. Listeners would have to wait long for the verb, so predictive processing becomes more natural. Neither strategy is “better or worse”, Coopmans adds. It is simply suited to the properties of each language. The findings support the need for more diversity in linguistic models says Jixing Li, a linguist at City University of Hong Kong. If studies are done only in English speakers, crucial differences will be missed. Diversifying research, Martin says, will help capture how the brain understands the structured meaning and social utility of language. 28. What does Martin’s team discover about the brain? A. It interprets words randomly. B. It adapts to grammar rules. C. It favors grammatical changes. D. It ignores sentence structures. 29. What model do Dutch speakers prefer? A. Waiting for full phrases. B. Predicting phrase endings. C. Ignoring verb positions. D. Following English strategies. 30. Why is predictive processing natural for Dutch? A. Its verbs occasionally appear late. B. It has simpler grammatical rules. C. It uses common vocabulary. D Its sentences are generally longer. 31. What do the findings stress? A. English is the best study language. B. Dutch is much harder to process. C. People ignore social language use. D. Linguistic models need diversity. D Breaking a big goal into smaller parts might seem like a simple trick. In fact, it is a strategy that can be applied widely — to exercising regularly, saving money, or building a new skill. But is there real scientific evidence for its effectiveness? To figure it out, our team carried out a large-scale field experiment with thousands of participants in everyday settings. For our study, we partnered with Crisis Text Line (CTL), a nonprofit providing free text counseling. CTL volunteers are expected to complete 200 hours of service each year, which is quite demanding compared with the national average. We wondered whether setting smaller subgoals would encourage greater participation. In our study, over 9,000 volunteers received e-mails presenting the yearly target in different ways for three months. Some were told simply to aim for 200 hours with no detailed goal breakdown, while others were encouraged to meet either four hours per week or eight hours every two weeks. Then we tracked how much time each group of trained crisis counselors actually spent volunteering during the study. The results showed that people with smaller subgoals volunteered 7 percent to 8 percent more than those given only the big goal. This may sound like a modest increase, but when scaled across CTL’s thousands of volunteers, our intervention translated to thousands of additional counseling hours every month at essentially zero cost to the organization. We also found that the more flexible “eight hours every two weeks” condition led to more lasting benefits, as declines in volunteering were slower than in the stricter “four hours every week” condition. Our study dovetails with the research by behavioral scientists Hal Hershfield and Shlomo Benartzi. Their work shows that people are four times more likely to sign up for a savings program when the required deposit is described as $5 a day rather than $150 a month. Taken together, this recent research suggests that whether goals require taking a single action or “keeping your nose to the grindstone”, subgoals may help. 32. What did the field experiment focus on? A. The cost of volunteering. B. The effect of flexible schedule. C. The method of attaining ambitious goals. D. The effectiveness of subgoals. 33. How was the field experiment conducted? A. By interviewing volunteers about their preferences. B. By instructing participants in breaking down goals. C. By comparing different goal-setting approaches. D. By providing counselors with novel techniques. 34. What does the underlined phrase “dovetails with” in the last paragraph mean? A. Corresponds with. B. Subscribes to. C. Conflicts with. D. Goes to. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the article? A. Why Breaking Goals into Smaller Parts Works B. How Crisis Text Line Increased Volunteer Hours C. The Science of Goal-Setting: A Large-Scale Experiment D. Small Subgoals, Big Impact: Evidence from a Field Study 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A beautiful flower garden begins with preparation.

What makes these soldiers so interesting is not just their different faces— each man ____57____ (think) to be copied from real soldiers — but rather the philosophical implications underlying their construction. Unlike Western works, ____58____ statues often praised human ____59____ (perfect), these clay men carried a Chinese art rule: the balance between the person and the group. The question that comes up here is ____60____ making so many art pieces lowers or raises their culture worth. New dig finds have shown that the colors ____61____ (original) put on these men had rocks not found in China back then, pointing to trade roads longer ____62____ recorded before.

The makers used a drainage system so well that, even now, it would be considered ____64____ (innovation). Had this technology been documented and disseminated (传播), it might have completely changed architectural practices across ancient civilizations.

A customer came in one day with three, yes, THREE full-grown Saint Bernard dogs to give them all baths. Fortunately, she is very organized; She brought them in one at a time, and it was in the fall, so it was safe for them to be in the car with the windows cracked for a longer time. She and her delightful pets spent somewhere around five to six hours in the store, cycling one dog at a time and using the same tub (桶) so the other two were open to other customers. Unfortunately, one St. Bernard dog got a little too relaxed during her bath and leaned her roughly 130 lbs weight against the spigot (水龙头), causing the elbow joint (接合处) to bend and block the water flow. The customer apologized repeatedly, but my manager assured her it was OK. The customer switched the dog to another tub, and my manager took apart the affected spigot, removing the damaged elbow joint. With that in hand, he grabbed a few $20and gave them to me with the joint and a request to go to the only nearby store, where the boss has a lovely yellow dog, for a new one. The boss walked by just as I was considering going to ask for help. He greeted me and asked how he could help. I explained I worked at a pet store and that we needed a new part for one of our dog wash tubs. Then I handed him the elbow joint. To my great disappointment, his store didn’t have this kind of elbow joint. What was worse, there were no other stores like this in the neighborhood. My store’s business was going really well, and being unable to buy this part would affect our operations—I was extremely anxious and didn’t know what to do. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The boss noticed my confusion and glanced back at the elbow joint. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that week, the boss came into our shop with his pet dog. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

I suggest we play a piece of famous but slow-paced music. I will play the erhu first, then you play the same part on the violin. Finally, we perform together. This way, the audience can hear the difference between the two instruments. We can stay seated close so we can watch each other’s bowing and stay perfectly in rhythm. We only need two chairs on the stage, no other equipment, so it is simple. What do you think? We can meet on Friday afternoon in the music room to try it. Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】 The boss noticed my confusion and glanced back at the elbow joint. He sat down at a special tool, and placed the elbow joint in it. He then explained the problem could be solved if I gave him a couple of minutes. I expressed my surprise and gratitude. We chatted while he fixed the joint. He mentioned he had a dog of his own, asking how our dog wash worked. Within about ten minutes, the elbow joint was fixed. I headed back to my store. When I told my manager the joint had been fixed for free, he was surprised. Later that week, the boss came into our shop with his pet dog. I turned to my manager, introducing the boss as the gentleman who’d fixed our pipe fitting a few days earlier. My manager thanked the boss sincerely. Before long, he finished bathing his dog and came up to the registers. He reached for his wallet, but my manager said, “You did us a solid, and we do you a solid.” The boss thanked my manager enthusiastically and said he’d definitely bring his dog back next time his dog needed a bath. Truly, you never underestimate the power of the “small kindnesses always circle back”. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力部分该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
