One idea we got that way was to do something fun right at the beginning of the show, so we decided to go for heads. Everybody at the show, including members of the audience, was asked to wear one for the first half hour. I think it's likely to be a tradition for our future shows. anyway. People decorated them in all sorts of ways, or else they match them with their clothes. All in all, IT was a successful evening.

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了温哥华公园和娱乐中心野餐庇护所的预定政策,包括公园名称、预定费用和电话、预定取消政策、常见问题解答、公园使用许可证等内容。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When not reserved, shelters are available for free.(如果没有预订,庇护所是可以免费使用的。)”可知,当没有预定的时候,是可以免费使用野餐庇护所的,C选项描述正确。由文章最后一段“Depending on the type of event you’re hosting, you will need to get a Park Use Permit from Vancouver Parks and Recreation.(根据您举办的活动类型,您需要从温哥华公园和娱乐中心获得公园使用许可证)”可知,温哥华公园野餐庇护所是可以举办活动的,A选项描述错误;由文章第二段“Picnic shelters are available to reserve between May 1 and September 30 each year.(每年5月1日至9月30日期间,野餐区可供预订)”可知,野餐庇护所并不是全年可预订的,B选项描述错误;由文章最后一段“A Park Use Permit gives you permission to bring special items and equipment into the park.(公园使用许可证允许您携带特殊物品和设备进入公园)”可知,有公园使用许可证的情况下是可以带特殊物品进入的,D选项描述错误。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Reservations are for the entire day with a reservation fee of $100.(预订是全天的,预订费为100美元。)”可知,预定的费用是100美元;由文章“Shelter Reservation Cancellation Policy(庇护所预定取消政策)”中的“If canceled 1-4 weeks before the rental date, 75% of the fee will be refunded.(如果在租用日期前1-4周取消,将退还75%的费用。)”可知,在租用日期前3周取消预订,将退还75%的费用,100美元的75%也就是75美元。所以,在租用日期前三周取消预订,你可以拿回75美元。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。题干“Which park should you choose if you want to use private restrooms and electricity?(如果你想使用私人洗手间和电力,你应该选择哪个公园?)”中包括两个条件,私人洗手间和电力。根据文章Frequently Asked Questions部分的“Playground facilities and restrooms will be shared with the public in Fisher Basin Community Park and Leroy Haagen Memorial Park while there are private restrooms in other two parks.(Fisher Basin社区公园和Leroy Haagen纪念公园的操场设施和卫生间将与公众共享,而其他两个公园则设有私人卫生间)”可知,Fisher Basin Community Park和Leroy Haagen Memorial Park没有私人洗手间,故可以排除;由文章“Reservations include use of all picnic tables located within the shelter(except Marshall Community Park) and electricity (there is no electricity at Marine Park).(预订包括使用庇护所内的所有野餐桌(Marshall Community Park除外)和电力(Marine Park没有电力))”可知,Marine Park没有电力,故可排除。只有Marshall Community Park既有私人洗手间,又有电力。故选A。
B
Sarah came running in. “Look what I found.” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed (蜕皮) by one of our many garden snakes.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.
I stared at the organic wrapper, frightened, and thought to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by dropping those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too tight for him.”
Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to get rid of. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.
That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers.
24. How does the author feel at the first sight of the snake skin?
A. Puzzled. B. Alarmed. C. Fascinated. D. Uninterested.
25. How does the author explain reason why snakes shed skin?
A. By making a comparison. B. By telling a snake’s story.
C. By defining skin renewal. D. By quoting a scientific article.
26. Sarah learned from her mother that renewal is ______.
A. to recover the layers inside B. to review what has been done
C. a process of pursuing creativity D. a natural part of developing oneself
27. What can be inferred about the author?
A. She lacked interest in snake skins. B. She hid her true self under many layers.
C. She seized the chance to educate children. D. She often encouraged Sarah to raise questions.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者借女儿发现蛇蜕的契机,向女儿讲解蛇蜕皮的原因,并借此阐释自我更新是成长的自然部分的道理。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Over the top of the paper I was reading came a long object that caused me to jump.(一个长长的东西从我正在读的报纸上方伸过来,吓了我一跳)”以及第三段中的“I stared at the organic wrapper, frightened, and thought to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. (我盯着这块天然的蜕皮,心里害怕极了,暗自觉得它其实根本算不上好看,但我早已学会,在孩子面前永远不要表现出丝毫的不在意)”可知,作者第一眼看到蛇蜕时感到惊慌。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by dropping those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. (她用墙上层层叠叠的纸张来比喻我们如何隐藏真实的自我,还说一层层褪去这些外在的包裹,就能看见内心原本的模样。我对此刻听得入神的女儿说:“我们也常常需要褪去自己的外壳,卸下那些裹在身上的层层伪装。”)”可推知,作者将蛇蜕皮与人类卸下伪装、展露本真作类比,以此解释蛇蜕皮的原因。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to get rid of. (在我们交谈的过程中,我知道她开始有点明白更新是成长的一部分,明白我们需要好好审视自己,审视自己的房间、学业和创造力,分清哪些该珍惜,哪些该舍弃)”以及“I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.(我还特意指出,这是他们成长的自然结果)”可知,萨拉从父亲那里了解到,自我更新是自我发展的自然组成部分。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I stared at the organic wrapper, frightened, and thought to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children.(我盯着那张有机包装纸,心里感到一阵害怕,同时心里想着这东西其实并没有那么漂亮,但我已经明白,面对孩子时绝不能表现得不感兴趣)”以及全文内容,作者借女儿发现蛇蜕这一生活小事,抓住机会向女儿讲解知识并传递自我更新的成长道理。由此推知,作者善于抓住契机教育孩子。故选C项。
C
Earlier this year, Alicia Meyer, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, tried to figure out the true ownership of a pair of gloves that had rested in the university’s library for nearly a century. The long-forgotten, mysterious gloves couldn’t have belonged to William Shakespeare. Or could they?
Few relics tied to Shakespeare, who died in 1616, have survived the centuries. The writer’s signature is extremely rare, existing only in legal documents. However, that Penn may possess a Shakespearean treasure is no surprise. Its Shakespeare collections — mostly from the donations of H. H. Furness, the greatest Shakespearean scholar of his time — are world-famous. Among the Shakespearean jewels at Penn’s library is a first edition of Hamlet, one of only two copies in the world. But nothing caused quite a stir like the gloves, which Furness donated in 1931.
Meyer reached out to conservation librarian Tessa Gadomski for help. Gadomski studied them with technology normally used to treat and care for rare books and papers. Examining the gloves under ultraviolet (紫外线) light, she searched for clues of any post-industrial materials, which would show the gloves were likely made or repaired after Shakespeare’s time — and found none. Next, she used X-ray technology to search for signs of chromium (Cr) or titanium (Ti), commonly used in 18th- and 19th-century tanning (鞣革) techniques. Again, she found none.
It would fit that Shakespeare might have owned a pair of fancy gloves. Clothes, as he once famously wrote, “make the man.” His plays made the money. His father was a glove maker. Plus, it was common for rich people to donate clothes, and even gloves, to theaters for costumes, Meyer said.
“If he really wore them, then we feel like we’re somehow in the presence of him,” Penn professor Zachary Lesser said about the gloves. But he feels it’s a long shot that they’ll ever truly know. He hopes the renewed attention could unearth some historical evidence that could definitively tie the gloves to the hands of perhaps the greatest writer the world has ever known.
28. Why is it no surprise that Penn may own Shakespeare’s gloves?
A. They have been kept there for years.
B. Penn is known for seeking valuable relics.
C. They were donated by a Shakespearean scholar.
D. Penn possesses a collection of Shakespearean works.
29. What has Gadomski’s work found about the gloves?
A. Their direct link to Shakespeare. B. Their secured long-term preservation.
C. Their traces of modern industrial methods. D. Their possibility of a Shakespeare-era origin.
30. What is the function of Paragraph 4?
A. To provide supporting evidence. B. To conclude the research’s findings.
C. To suggest another origin of the gloves. D. To present background about Shakespeare.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Shakespeare’s gloves resurfaced at Penn. B. Long-forgotten gloves found their owner.
C. The use of technology in examining antiques. D. The search for evidence on Shakespeare’s gloves.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员对一副可能属于莎士比亚的手套进行科学检测与历史考证,通过技术分析排除了它属于更晚时期的可能性,并探讨了其属于莎士比亚的合理性,但最终结论仍待更多证据。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, that Penn may possess a Shakespearean treasure is no surprise. Its Shakespeare collections — mostly from the donations of H. H. Furness, the greatest Shakespearean scholar of his time — are world-famous. (然而,宾大可能拥有莎士比亚的宝物并不令人意外。其莎士比亚收藏——主要来自他那个时代最伟大的莎士比亚学者H. H. Furness的捐赠——是世界闻名的。)”可知,宾大拥有世界著名的莎士比亚作品收藏,这使得它拥有莎士比亚手套的可能性并不奇怪。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Examining the gloves under ultraviolet (紫外线) light, she searched for clues of any post-industrial materials, which would show the gloves were likely made or repaired after Shakespeare’s time — and found none. Next, she used X-ray technology to search for signs of chromium (Cr) or titanium (Ti), commonly used in 18th- and 19th-century tanning (鞣革) techniques. Again, she found none. (她用紫外线灯照射手套,试图寻找任何后工业时代材料的痕迹,因为这些痕迹表明这些手套很可能是在莎士比亚时代之后制造或修补的。但她没有找到任何此类痕迹。接下来,她利用X射线技术来寻找铬(Cr)或钛(Ti)的迹象,因为这两种元素常用于18世纪和19世纪的鞣制工艺中。同样,她也没有找到这些痕迹。)”可知,Gadomski的检测未发现后工业时代以及18到19世纪的材料痕迹,排除了手套属于更晚时期的可能性,从而间接支持了它可能源于莎士比亚时代的推测。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It would fit that Shakespeare might have owned a pair of fancy gloves. Clothes, as he once famously wrote, “make the man.” His plays made the money. His father was a glove maker. Plus, it was common for rich people to donate clothes, and even gloves, to theaters for costumes, Meyer said. (莎士比亚可能拥有一副精美手套是合理的。正如他曾有名言:‘衣装造人。’他的戏剧赚了钱。他的父亲是手套匠。此外,Meyer说,富人向剧院捐赠衣物甚至手套作为戏服是常见的。)”可知,本段从多个角度提供了手套可能属于莎士比亚的合理性,是在提供支持前文猜想的证据。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Earlier this year, Alicia Meyer, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, tried to figure out the true ownership of a pair of gloves that had rested in the university’s library for nearly a century. The long-forgotten, mysterious gloves couldn’t have belonged to William Shakespeare. Or could they? (今年早些时候,宾夕法尼亚大学的一位研究员Alicia Meyer试图查明一对在该校图书馆里存放了近一个世纪的手套的真正所有权。这双被遗忘且神秘莫测的手套不可能是威廉·莎士比亚的。但它们又会不会是他的呢?)”可知,文章围绕宾大图书馆一副可能属于莎士比亚的手套展开,描述了其来源、科学检测过程、历史合理性分析,以及学者对其真实性的谨慎态度。因此,文章主要是关于“对有关莎士比亚手套的证据的搜寻”。故选D项。

Rural folk can blame Aesop, an ancient Greek storyteller, for stories that laugh at them for being bumpkins (乡巴佬). His tale of the Country Mouse and the Town Mouse was only the first to emphasize their supposed simpler tastes and habits when compared with complex urbanites. So listen for the cheers from Somerset to Kansas as scientists announce it is city living that can dull the wits — at least when it comes to finding one’s way. Growing up in a city, a global survey has found, has a lifelong negative impact on a person’s ability to navigate (导航). When looking for a half-remembered restaurant in a poorly-lit street, it seems Country Mouse would be a more useful companion.
The new study led by Hugo Spiers at University College London describes how they used a data set from 4 million players of a computer game called “Sea Hero Quest” to test way-finding skills. It asked players to memorize a map showing the location of checkpoints and measured how well players can ride a boat to find them, guided only by their mental map. About 442,000 players from 38 countries were examined.
He found that the strongest indicator of a high score was a player’s age: older people performed relatively poorly, which arises from the decline of cognitive ability as people age. But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to reduce some of that. Data from American players showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of a 60-year-old from the city across the dataset. Meanwhile, the gap between the navigation skills of rural and city people was largest in America (about six times wider than for Romania).
“Our study doesn’t show why cities have this impact on people growing up in them. It cannot rule out that an external factor such as the effect of air pollution on a developing brain, might play a role.” says Dr. Spiers, adding that the brain’s navigational abilities probably weaken in the less challenging city environment because they are not being used as much.
32. What does the phrase “dull the wits” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Cause confusion. B. Sharpen the mind.
C. Improve intelligence D. Weaken mental abilities.
33. How did Dr. Spiers’s team conduct the research?
A. They compared national geographic data.
B. They analyzed data from a computer game.
C. They observed subjects (participants/ players)’ real-life behavior.
D. They investigated people’s navigation experience.
34. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Age decides one’s navigation skills. B. Urban living’s effect differ by country.
C. Rural upbringing reduces aging’s effect. D. Urban living speeds up cognitive decline.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Brain weakens in cities? B. City living more challenging?
C. Navigating in cities necessary? D. City living weakens navigation skills?
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文通过引用一项由伦敦大学学院的Hugo Spiers领导的新研究,探讨了城市生活对个体导航能力的影响。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Growing up in a city, a global survey has found, has a lifelong negative impact on a person’s ability to navigate (导航). When looking for a half-remembered restaurant in a poorly-lit street, it seems Country Mouse would be a more useful companion.(一项全球范围内的调查发现,生活在城市中会对一个人的导航能力产生长期的负面影响。比如,当要在昏暗的街道上寻找一段模糊记忆中的餐馆时,“乡村老鼠”似乎会是个更有用的伙伴)”可知,城市生活损害导航能力,故划线词意思是“降低智力水平”。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The new study led by Hugo Spiers at University College London describes how they used a data set from 4 million players of a computer game called “Sea Hero Quest” to test way-finding skills.(由伦敦大学学院的霍乌·斯皮尔斯领导的一项新研究描述了他们如何利用一款名为“Sea Hero Quest”的电脑游戏的 400 万名玩家的数据集来测试导航技能)”可知,斯皮尔斯博士的团队通过分析一款电脑游戏的数据进行这项研究。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“older people performed relatively poorly, which arises from the decline of cognitive ability as people age. But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to reduce some of that. Data from American players showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of a 60-year-old from the city across the dataset.(年龄较大的选手表现相对较差,这是因为随着年龄的增长,人的认知能力会有所下降。但乡村生活的益处足够显著,能够减轻这种影响。来自美国玩家的数据表明,在数据集中,一位在农村长大的70岁老人的导航能力与一位来自城市的60岁老人相当。)”可知,在农村环境中长大会减缓衰老的影响。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“So listen for the cheers from Somerset to Kansas as scientists announce it is city living that can dull the wits — at least when it comes to finding one’s way. Growing up in a city, a global survey has found, has a lifelong negative impact on a person’s ability to navigate (导航). When looking for a half-remembered restaurant in a poorly-lit street, it seems Country Mouse would be a more useful companion.(因此,听听从萨默塞特到堪萨斯的欢呼声吧,因为科学家们宣布,城市生活可能会让人变得迟钝——至少在找路方面是这样的。一项全球调查发现,在城市长大会对一个人的导航能力产生终身负面影响。当你在昏暗的街道上寻找一家记忆模糊的餐厅时,“乡村老鼠”似乎会是一个更有用的伴侣)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了城市生活对个体导航能力的影响,故D项“城市生活削弱了导航能力?”是本文最好的标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people find it hard to finish what they start. Picture a student learning a difficult piece of music, practicing hard each day. After a few weeks, progress slows, practice becomes less frequent, and eventually, the music is set aside and forgotten. ____36____ This pattern repeats in many parts of life: half-done projects, broken resolutions, and goals that lose their excitement before they are reached.
____37____ Early excitement often comes from the fun and newness of a fresh start. This is where many efforts fail. As routine takes over and things get harder, that early energy can disappear, making us easily distracted or discouraged. Underestimating the effort makes it worse.
Not finishing affects more than just the task itself. It can quietly change how we see ourselves. ____38____ For example, someone who often starts and stops a fitness plan may begin to think they lack self-control, which can make them question whether they can stick with other things, from schoolwork to personal projects.
Stopping and restarting carries a significant mental cost. In fact, research has consistently shown that sticking with a task is the cornerstone of building solid skills and lasting habits. Quitting doesn’t just hit pause on our progress. ____39____
Becoming someone who finishes strong is therefore a skill that can be learned. A good approach is to break big goals into smaller, clear steps. This helps us see progress and makes the goal feel less scary. ____40____ Over time, following through consistently builds a reputation for being reliable. Teachers, friends, and future coworkers will notice this quality, leading to more trust and opportunities.
A. Obstacles are necessary steps.
B. It also makes trying again far harder.
C. It becomes a symbol of unfinished efforts.
D. This builds inner strength against quitting.
E. This cycle gradually weakens our self-trust.
F. Each quit adds to the mental difficulty of trying again.
G. To understand why we stop, we must look at how motivation changes.
【答案】36. C 37. G 38. E 39. B 40. D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。很多人做事有始无终,文章分析其动机变化原因,指出半途而废会削弱自信、增加重试难度,并给出拆分目标、坚持到底的方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Many people find it hard to finish what they start. Picture a student learning a difficult piece of music, practicing hard each day. After a few weeks, progress slows, practice becomes less frequent, and eventually, the music is set aside and forgotten.(许多人发现自己很难完成已经开始的事情。想象一下,一个学生正在学习一首难度较大的乐曲,每天都在刻苦练习。几周之后,进步逐渐放缓,练习的频率也降低了,最终,这首乐曲被搁置一旁,被遗忘掉了)”以及后文“This pattern repeats in many parts of life: half-done projects, broken resolutions, and goals that lose their excitement before they are reached. (这种模式在生活的许多方面都会重复出现:未完成的项目、未兑现的承诺以及在未达成目标之前就失去热情的目标)”可知,前文举例学生练难的乐曲,进度放缓后放弃,将曲子搁置;后文提及生活中诸多未完成事项,C选项“它会成为未完成努力的象征”承接上文半途而废的事例,总起这类未竟努力的现象,衔接顺畅。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Early excitement often comes from the fun and newness of a fresh start. This is where many efforts fail. As routine takes over and things get harder, that early energy can disappear, making us easily distracted or discouraged. Underestimating the effort makes it worse.(起初的兴奋往往源于新起点带来的乐趣和新鲜感。但正是在这种情况下,很多努力往往以失败告终。当常规事务占据主导地位,事情变得愈发艰难时,那种最初的激情就会消退,使我们容易分心或气馁。低估了所需的努力会使情况变得更糟)”可知,本段分析人们半途而废的原因:初始新鲜感褪去、难度上升、动力消失,G选项“要理解我们为何停止,我们必须审视动机是如何变化的”总起本段,引出对放弃原因的探究,符合段落逻辑。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Not finishing affects more than just the task itself. It can quietly change how we see ourselves.(未完成的任务不仅会影响任务本身,还会悄然改变我们对自己的看法)”以及后文“For example, someone who often starts and stops a fitness plan may begin to think they lack self-control, which can make them question whether they can stick with other things, from schoolwork to personal projects.(例如,那些经常随意中断健身计划的人可能会开始认为自己缺乏自制力,这可能会让他们质疑自己能否坚持完成其他事情,比如学业或个人项目)”可知,前文指出半途而废会改变自我认知,后文举例健身计划半途而废会让人觉得自己缺乏自控力,E选项“这种循环会逐渐削弱我们的自我信任”点明半途而废的循环会削弱自我信任,承上启下。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Stopping and restarting carries a significant mental cost. In fact, research has consistently shown that sticking with a task is the cornerstone of building solid skills and lasting habits. Quitting doesn’t just hit pause on our progress.(停止并重新开始会带来巨大的心理负担。事实上,研究一直表明,坚持完成一项任务是培养扎实技能和形成持久习惯的关键。放弃不仅会暂停我们的进步进程)”可知,前句“放弃不只是暂停进度”,B选项“这也会使再次尝试变得更加困难”中also体现递进关系,补充说明放弃还会让再次尝试变得极为困难,契合前文提及的放弃带来的心理代价。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Becoming someone who finishes strong is therefore a skill that can be learned. A good approach is to break big goals into smaller, clear steps. This helps us see progress and makes the goal feel less scary.(因此,成为那种能够出色完成任务的人是一种可以习得的技能。一个有效的方法是将大目标分解为更小、更明确的步骤。这样做能帮助我们看到进展,从而使目标不再那么令人畏惧)”以及后文“Over time, following through consistently builds a reputation for being reliable. Teachers, friends, and future coworkers will notice this quality, leading to more trust and opportunities.(随着时间的推移,始终如一地坚持下去会建立起值得信赖的良好声誉。老师、朋友以及未来的同事都会注意到这一品质,从而获得更多的信任和机会)”可知,前文给出建议:将大目标拆分为小步骤,能感知进度、降低难度,D选项“这会培养我们面对放弃时的内在力量”说明这一做法的效果 —— 构建抗拒放弃的内在力量,并衔接后文坚持带来的长远益处。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了传统手工艺在工业化时代不可替代的独特价值,强调其不仅是实用品,更是承载历史、智慧与人类精神的文化遗产,并提及了为传承这些遗产所做的努力。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:传统手工艺,可以追溯到人类文明的最早期阶段,承载着我们祖先跨越数千年的智慧、审美情趣和日常生活技能。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作Traditional handcrafts的后置定语,date back to“追溯至”和Traditional handcrafts逻辑上是主动关系,因此用date的现在分词形式。故填dating。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:传统手工艺,可以追溯到人类文明的最早期阶段,承载着我们祖先跨越数千年的智慧、审美情趣和日常生活技能。空处连接前后三个名词短语,作carry的宾语,三者之间是并列关系,最后两项之间应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:几个世纪以来,现代工业化的浪潮以惊人的速度席卷全球。空处作句子的谓语,结合“Over the centuries”可知,时态应用现在完成时,表示过去的动作持续到现在,且主语tide是单数,助动词应用has。故填has swept。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:尽管机器制造的产品有明显优势,但手工艺品有一种独特的温暖和技艺,是机器无法复制的,因为每一件手工制品都承载着制作者的技艺乃至细腻的情感。空后为名词短语,且“机器制造的产品有明显优势”和“手工艺品有独特的温暖和技艺”之间是让步关系,因此用意为“尽管”的介词despite,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填Despite。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:尽管机器制造的产品有明显优势,但手工艺品有一种独特的温暖和技艺,是机器无法复制的,因为每一件手工制品都承载着制作者的技艺乃至细腻的情感。空处表示泛指,意为“一种独特的温暖和技艺”,应用不定冠词,且unique的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:手工艺的制作过程以严格的标准强调每一个微小细节,从精心挑选符合严格质量要求的原材料,到通过反复试验对成品进行复杂的打磨。空处作句子的谓语,此处在描述通常性的事实,时态应用一般现在时,且主语The making process是单数,emphasize“强调”应用第三人称单数形式。故填emphasizes。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了推广这些珍贵的瑰宝,让更多人认识到它们的价值,许多艺术家组织了各种活动,包括展示手工艺演变历程的不同展览。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,“推广这些珍贵的瑰宝”是谓语行为的目的,因此用promote“推广”的不定式形式,作目的状语,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填To promote。
【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:为了推广这些珍贵的瑰宝,让更多人认识到它们的价值,许多艺术家组织了各种活动,包括展示手工艺演变历程的不同展览。空处作including的宾语,different“不同的”后面应用可数名词exhibition“展览”的复数形式。故填exhibitions。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他们持续不断的努力,旨在将这些宝贵的非物质文化遗产传承给子孙后代。空处作修饰heritages的定语,应用形容词cultural,意为“文化的”。故填cultural。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
When handball was first introduced to schools, I wanted to bring it to my school in a remote village. This became a challenging task as the sports teacher was unwilling to do anything other than traditional sports.
I was not a sports teacher. However, I was determined to start this game. Handball is a fascinating game which combines strength, skill and teamwork. As a new sport, I foresaw it as a golden opportunity as our school had never secured a place in traditional sports.
The boys were immediately interested. I had the support of their parents but I still couldn’t convince the sports teacher. Ultimately, I used my position as principal to get the game going. An old boy who graduated some nine years earlier, volunteered to coach the team.
Although handball is an indoor game, we trained outdoors due to the limited equipment. “This handball craze will ruin your studies!” complained some of the teachers to discourage the game. Whenever the boys were late for class after practice they were punished, but I was able to keep them cheerful.
After three months of hard training we were able to send a team to compete with 50 other schools in the country’s largest city. Initially, the School Handball Association rejected us because we weren’t association (协会) members, but thankfully some members believed any school should be welcomed.
Our boys played remarkably well and reached the semifinals. And that was when the real game started. Students and teachers from urban schools joined forces against us, and considered it a shame to lose a match against boys from a rural village school who couldn’t even speak English. They wore leaves to insult our boys. Even the judges favoured them, resulting in our team’s loss of the victory. Defeated, the boys fell to the ground, sad and disappointed. However, other students were supportive, saying “Don’t cry, brothers. You’re the champions. You must come again next year and claim your victory.”
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。
Back at school, the memory of the unfair treatment was so clear in our minds.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following year, nobody could stop us from winning the championship.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Back at school, the memory of the unfair treatment was so clear in our minds. I gathered the boys and told them that unfairness was not a reason to give up, but a motivation to become stronger. The old graduate coach increased the intensity of training, and the boys trained harder than ever, even using spare time to practice skills after finishing homework. Teachers who once opposed also changed their attitudes, helping them make up for missed lessons. Every student in the school cheered for them, and we even raised money to buy simple indoor training equipment.
The following year, nobody could stop us from winning the championship. We returned to the same city, more confident and skilled. This time, we were formally admitted as association members, and the judges treated us fairly. Facing the same urban teams, our boys played calmly and cooperated perfectly, defeating each opponent with solid skills. When the final whistle blew, the boys jumped for joy. Those who once insulted us fell silent, and we proved that rural boys could shine brightly with perseverance. Our school finally had its first sports championship, and handball became a pride of our remote village.

Sarah came running in. “Look what I found.” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed (蜕皮) by one of our many garden snakes.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.
I stared at the organic wrapper, frightened, and thought to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by dropping those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too tight for him.”
Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to get rid of. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.
That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers.
24. How does the author feel at the first sight of the snake skin?
A. Puzzled. B. Alarmed. C. Fascinated. D. Uninterested.
25. How does the author explain reason why snakes shed skin?
A. By making a comparison. B. By telling a snake’s story.
C. By defining skin renewal. D. By quoting a scientific article.
26. Sarah learned from her mother that renewal is ______.
A. to recover the layers inside B. to review what has been done
C. a process of pursuing creativity D. a natural part of developing oneself
27. What can be inferred about the author?
A. She lacked interest in snake skins. B. She hid her true self under many layers.
C. She seized the chance to educate children. D. She often encouraged Sarah to raise questions.
C
Earlier this year, Alicia Meyer, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, tried to figure out the true ownership of a pair of gloves that had rested in the university’s library for nearly a century. The long-forgotten, mysterious gloves couldn’t have belonged to William Shakespeare. Or could they?
Few relics tied to Shakespeare, who died in 1616, have survived the centuries. The writer’s signature is extremely rare, existing only in legal documents. However, that Penn may possess a Shakespearean treasure is no surprise. Its Shakespeare collections — mostly from the donations of H. H. Furness, the greatest Shakespearean scholar of his time — are world-famous. Among the Shakespearean jewels at Penn’s library is a first edition of Hamlet, one of only two copies in the world. But nothing caused quite a stir like the gloves, which Furness donated in 1931.
Meyer reached out to conservation librarian Tessa Gadomski for help. Gadomski studied them with technology normally used to treat and care for rare books and papers. Examining the gloves under ultraviolet (紫外线) light, she searched for clues of any post-industrial materials, which would show the gloves were likely made or repaired after Shakespeare’s time — and found none. Next, she used X-ray technology to search for signs of chromium (Cr) or titanium (Ti), commonly used in 18th- and 19th-century tanning (鞣革) techniques. Again, she found none.
It would fit that Shakespeare might have owned a pair of fancy gloves. Clothes, as he once famously wrote, “make the man.” His plays made the money. His father was a glove maker. Plus, it was common for rich people to donate clothes, and even gloves, to theaters for costumes, Meyer said.
“If he really wore them, then we feel like we’re somehow in the presence of him,” Penn professor Zachary Lesser said about the gloves. But he feels it’s a long shot that they’ll ever truly know. He hopes the renewed attention could unearth some historical evidence that could definitively tie the gloves to the hands of perhaps the greatest writer the world has ever known.
28. Why is it no surprise that Penn may own Shakespeare’s gloves?
A. They have been kept there for years.
B. Penn is known for seeking valuable relics.
C. They were donated by a Shakespearean scholar.
D. Penn possesses a collection of Shakespearean works.
29. What has Gadomski’s work found about the gloves?
A. Their direct link to Shakespeare. B. Their secured long-term preservation.
C. Their traces of modern industrial methods. D. Their possibility of a Shakespeare-era origin.
30. What is the function of Paragraph 4?
A. To provide supporting evidence. B. To conclude the research’s findings.
C. To suggest another origin of the gloves. D. To present background about Shakespeare.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Shakespeare’s gloves resurfaced at Penn. B. Long-forgotten gloves found their owner.
C. The use of technology in examining antiques. D. The search for evidence on Shakespeare’s gloves.
D
Rural folk can blame Aesop, an ancient Greek storyteller, for stories that laugh at them for being bumpkins (乡巴佬). His tale of the Country Mouse and the Town Mouse was only the first to emphasize their supposed simpler tastes and habits when compared with complex urbanites. So listen for the cheers from Somerset to Kansas as scientists announce it is city living that can dull the wits — at least when it comes to finding one’s way. Growing up in a city, a global survey has found, has a lifelong negative impact on a person’s ability to navigate (导航). When looking for a half-remembered restaurant in a poorly-lit street, it seems Country Mouse would be a more useful companion.
The new study led by Hugo Spiers at University College London describes how they used a data set from 4 million players of a computer game called “Sea Hero Quest” to test way-finding skills. It asked players to memorize a map showing the location of checkpoints and measured how well players can ride a boat to find them, guided only by their mental map. About 442,000 players from 38 countries were examined.
He found that the strongest indicator of a high score was a player’s age: older people performed relatively poorly, which arises from the decline of cognitive ability as people age. But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to reduce some of that. Data from American players showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of a 60-year-old from the city across the dataset. Meanwhile, the gap between the navigation skills of rural and city people was largest in America (about six times wider than for Romania).
“Our study doesn’t show why cities have this impact on people growing up in them. It cannot rule out that an external factor such as the effect of air pollution on a developing brain, might play a role.” says Dr. Spiers, adding that the brain’s navigational abilities probably weaken in the less challenging city environment because they are not being used as much.
32. What does the phrase “dull the wits” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Cause confusion. B. Sharpen the mind.
C. Improve intelligence D. Weaken mental abilities.
33. How did Dr. Spiers’s team conduct the research?
A. They compared national geographic data.
B. They analyzed data from a computer game.
C. They observed subjects (participants/ players)’ real-life behavior.
D. They investigated people’s navigation experience.
34. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Age decides one’s navigation skills. B. Urban living’s effect differ by country.
C. Rural upbringing reduces aging’s effect. D. Urban living speeds up cognitive decline.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Brain weakens in cities? B. City living more challenging?
C. Navigating in cities necessary? D. City living weakens navigation skills?

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people find it hard to finish what they start. Picture a student learning a difficult piece of music, practicing hard each day. After a few weeks, progress slows, practice becomes less frequent, and eventually, the music is set aside and forgotten. ____36____ This pattern repeats in many parts of life: half-done projects, broken resolutions, and goals that lose their excitement before they are reached.
____37____ Early excitement often comes from the fun and newness of a fresh start. This is where many efforts fail. As routine takes over and things get harder, that early energy can disappear, making us easily distracted or discouraged. Underestimating the effort makes it worse.
Not finishing affects more than just the task itself. It can quietly change how we see ourselves. ____38____ For example, someone who often starts and stops a fitness plan may begin to think they lack self-control, which can make them question whether they can stick with other things, from schoolwork to personal projects.
Stopping and restarting carries a significant mental cost. In fact, research has consistently shown that sticking with a task is the cornerstone of building solid skills and lasting habits. Quitting doesn’t just hit pause on our progress. ____39____
Becoming someone who finishes strong is therefore a skill that can be learned. A good approach is to break big goals into smaller, clear steps. This helps us see progress and makes the goal feel less scary. ____40____ Over time, following through consistently builds a reputation for being reliable. Teachers, friends, and future coworkers will notice this quality, leading to more trust and opportunities.
A. Obstacles are necessary steps.
B. It also makes trying again far harder.
C. It becomes a symbol of unfinished efforts.
D. This builds inner strength against quitting.
E. This cycle gradually weakens our self-trust.
F. Each quit adds to the mental difficulty of trying again.
G. To understand why we stop, we must look at how motivation changes.

Inside were two sharpened pencils and a ____45____: “You’ve prepared. Now trust yourself.”
Though we never spoke again, that act of ____46____ reshaped my perspective. Years later, while cleaning my old dorm, I ____47____ the doorkeeper’s photo in a newspaper. The headline revealed: Retired teacher ____48____ as a doorkeeper to stay close to students.
Her story ____49____: Ms. Zhang had taught literature for 40 years. “Her classroom was famous for story readings.” the article noted. After retirement, she chose to work as a doorkeeper, ____50____ slipping encouraging notes into struggling students’ bags. “Education isn’t limited to classrooms.” she remarked in the ____51____.
Now as a teacher, I ____52____ students to always pause and value the “____53____ pens” — kindness, resilience (韧性), and quiet dedication.

Their quiet actions ____55____ futures more than any lesson.

When handball was first introduced to schools, I wanted to bring it to my school in a remote village. This became a challenging task as the sports teacher was unwilling to do anything other than traditional sports.
I was not a sports teacher. However, I was determined to start this game. Handball is a fascinating game which combines strength, skill and teamwork. As a new sport, I foresaw it as a golden opportunity as our school had never secured a place in traditional sports.
The boys were immediately interested. I had the support of their parents but I still couldn’t convince the sports teacher. Ultimately, I used my position as principal to get the game going. An old boy who graduated some nine years earlier, volunteered to coach the team.
Although handball is an indoor game, we trained outdoors due to the limited equipment. “This handball craze will ruin your studies!” complained some of the teachers to discourage the game. Whenever the boys were late for class after practice they were punished, but I was able to keep them cheerful.
After three months of hard training we were able to send a team to compete with 50 other schools in the country’s largest city. Initially, the School Handball Association rejected us because we weren’t association (协会) members, but thankfully some members believed any school should be welcomed.
Our boys played remarkably well and reached the semifinals. And that was when the real game started. Students and teachers from urban schools joined forces against us, and considered it a shame to lose a match against boys from a rural village school who couldn’t even speak English. They wore leaves to insult our boys. Even the judges favoured them, resulting in our team’s loss of the victory. Defeated, the boys fell to the ground, sad and disappointed. However, other students were supportive, saying “Don’t cry, brothers. You’re the champions. You must come again next year and claim your victory.”
