The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” resonates with the idea that our mental landscape is similar to a garden, where the seeds of our thoughts determine the nature of our lives. This concept suggests that the way we nurture our thoughts can significantly impact our personal development and success. Our thoughts are the seeds that, when nurtured with care, can blossom into the flowers of success and happiness. Conversely, neglecting the cultivation of our thoughts can lead to a life overgrown with the weeds of failure and despair. To ensure our minds bear the fruits of our desires, it's crucial to prepare the soil of our minds with the nutrients of education, health, and effective time management. These elements enrich our mental landscape, providing the ideal environment for our ambitions to take root and flourish. The principle of sowing and reaping (收获) is as true for our lives as it is for a garden. Just as a gardener who plants tomatoes expects tomatoes, we should anticipate that the intentional cultivation of our thoughts will yield a corresponding harvest in life. Each of us holds the power to choose which seeds to plant, and thus, the responsibility for the outcomes we reap. Moreover, the impact of our thoughts extends beyond personal success; they also influence our relationships and societal contributions. Kind thoughts and actions can foster harmony and cooperation, while negative thoughts can lead to conflict and isolation. The choice to plant seeds of empathy and understanding can result in a life enriched by strong social bonds and a sense of community. Additionally, our thoughts can shape our resilience in the face of adversity, as optimistic thinking can guide us through challenges, whereas pessimism may hinder our ability to overcome obstacles. Drawing everything together, the garden of our mind requires deliberate tending. By selecting and nurturing positive thoughts, and by preparing the conditions for their growth, we can harvest a life rich with the fulfillment of our goals and dreams. The choice is ours: to plant the seeds of potential or to let the garden lie fallow (休耕). It is through this conscious cultivation that we can transform our minds from a plot overgrown with weeds into a garden blooming with the flowers of success and the fruits of meaningful contributions to society. The power to shape our destiny lies within us, and it begins with the thoughts we choose to plant today. 4. How does the author illustrate the concept of mental preparation in paragraph 1? A. By relating it to the achievement of personal goals. B. By emphasizing the importance of seeds of thoughts. C. By associating it with the management of natural conditions. D. By comparing it to the process of gardening and seed nurturing. 5. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Life outcomes are decided in advance. B. Life outcomes come from desires. C. Cultivating thoughts shapes life outcomes. D. Cultivating thoughts relies on life outcomes. 6. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The power of thoughts in shaping our lives. B. The importance of personal success in society. C. The role of empathy in building a strong community. D. The effect of optimism on overcoming life's challenges. 7. What conclusion can we draw from the text? A. We cannot change our destiny. B. Cultivating positive thoughts matters. C. Personal goals depend on social impact. D. Our thoughts can directly lead to success. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了威廉·华兹华斯关于心灵与思想的比喻，即心灵如花园，思想如种子，收获可为鲜花或杂草，以此论述我们培育思想的方式对个人发展、成功、人际关系及社会贡献的影响，强调培育积极思想对塑造人生的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“William Wordsworth's metaphor, “Your mind is the garden, your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” resonates with the idea that our mental landscape is similar to a garden, where the seeds of our thoughts determine the nature of our lives. This concept suggests that the way we nurture our thoughts can significantly impact our personal development and success.(威廉·华兹华斯的比喻，“你的心灵是花园，你的思想是种子。收获可以是鲜花，也可以是杂草”，与我们的精神世界类似于花园这一观点相呼应，在这个花园里，我们思想的种子决定了我们生活的本质。这个概念表明，我们培育思想的方式会对我们的个人发展和成功产生重大影响)”可知，作者将心灵比作花园，思想比作种子，通过把培育思想与园艺和培育种子的过程相比较，来说明心理准备的概念。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The principle of sowing and reaping (收获) is as true for our lives as it is for a garden. Just as a gardener who plants tomatoes expects tomatoes, we should anticipate that the intentional cultivation of our thoughts will yield a corresponding harvest in life.(播种与收获的原则在我们的生活中如同在花园里一样真实。就像种西红柿的园丁期待收获西红柿，我们应该预料到，有意识地培育我们的思想会在生活中产生相应的收获)”可知，如同在花园中播种会有相应收获，在生活中培育思想也会带来相应结果，即培育思想塑造生活结果。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Moreover, the impact of our thoughts extends beyond personal success; they also influence our relationships and societal contributions. Kind thoughts and actions can foster harmony and cooperation, while negative thoughts can lead to conflict and isolation. The choice to plant seeds of empathy and understanding can result in a life enriched by strong social bonds and a sense of community. Additionally, our thoughts can shape our resilience in the face of adversity, as optimistic thinking can guide us through challenges, whereas pessimism may hinder our ability to overcome obstacles.(此外，我们思想的影响超出个人成功；它们还影响我们的人际关系和社会贡献。友善的思想和行动能促进和谐与合作，而消极的思想会导致冲突和孤立。选择种下同理心和理解的种子，可以让生活因牢固的社会关系和社区意识而丰富。此外，我们的思想能塑造我们面对逆境时的韧性，乐观的思维能引导我们度过挑战，而悲观主义可能会阻碍我们克服障碍的能力)”可知，该段阐述了思想在个人成功、人际关系、社会贡献以及面对逆境等方面的影响，即思想在塑造我们生活方面的力量。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Drawing everything together, the garden of our mind requires deliberate tending. By selecting and nurturing positive thoughts, and by preparing the conditions for their growth, we can harvest a life rich with the fulfillment of our goals and dreams. The choice is ours: to plant the seeds of potential or to let the garden lie fallow (休耕). It is through this conscious cultivation that we can transform our minds from a plot overgrown with weeds into a garden blooming with the flowers of success and the fruits of meaningful contributions to society. The power to shape our destiny lies within us, and it begins with the thoughts we choose to plant today.(综上所述，我们心灵的花园需要精心照料。通过选择和培育积极的思想，并为它们的成长准备条件，我们可以收获一个充满目标和梦想实现的人生。选择权在我们手中：是种下潜力的种子，还是让花园休耕。正是通过这种有意识的培育，我们才能将我们的心灵从一片杂草丛生的土地转变为一个绽放着成功之花、结出对社会有意义贡献之果的花园。塑造我们命运的力量在我们自己手中，它始于我们今天选择种下的思想)”可知，通过培育积极思想，我们能收获丰富人生，塑造命运，即培育积极思想很重要。故选B项。 C When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person’s brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse’s PAG. What’s the obvious conclusion? The PAG controls fight-or-flight responses of animals in threatening situations. But what if brains don’t have dedicated circuits for fighting and fleeing? People clearly experience threats, but is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural (神经的) circuitry? A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don’t go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight-or-fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction. All brains constantly anticipate the needs of the body and attempt to meet those needs before they arise. They seek to reduce uncertainty to survive in circumstances that are only partially predictable. Like every other animal, you have basic needs. To eat, drink and deal with other imperatives of life, you must move about in an ever-changing world populated with other living creatures. In an uncertain situation, your brain must gather multiple predictions with multiple action plans and maintain them for an extended time through neural activity and other brain functions. Uncertainty is a normal condition of life, but these days, with social media and round-the-clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards (轰炸) us. At every moment, there’s a crisis somewhere in the world: wars, natural disasters and other issues. Too much uncertainty can leave you feeling anxious and worn out. But these feelings don’t emerge from overtaxed fight-or-flight circuits. They may just mean your brain is trying hard to tackle something uncertain. 8. Why does the author mention the caged mouse? A. To correct an obvious mistake. B. To illustrate a common observation. C. To make a simple comparison. D. To introduce a popular interpretation. 9. What does the author think of the fight-or-flight idea? A. It overlooks the brain’s predictive power. B. It can keep humans’ bad manners in check. C. It accounts for a primary mode of the brain. D. It best explains the animals’ neural activity. 10. What does the underlined word “imperatives” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Complex instructions. B. Essential necessities. C. Unpredictable challenges. D. Repeated actions and habits. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Uncertainty: The Brain’s Greatest Challenge B. Prediction, Not Reaction: How Brains Really Work C. The Truth about the Brain’s Threat Detection System D. Inside the Periaqueductal Gray: A Key Brain Region 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨大脑的运行模式，开篇通过人看到毛蛇照片及笼中老鼠闻到猫味时大脑中导水管周围灰质（PAG）的类似反应，引出“PAG控制动物在威胁情境下的战斗或逃跑反应”这一常见解读。但作者随后提出新观点，认为大脑主要通过预测而非反应来运行，不确定性是生活常态，大脑努力应对不确定性，并非是因为战斗或逃跑回路负担过重。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person's brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse's PAG. What's the obvious conclusion? The PAG controls fight - or - flight responses of animals in threatening situations.(在实验室实验中，当一个人看到毛蛇的照片时，科学家通常会在这个人大脑深处一个叫做导水管周围灰质（PAG）的区域看到电活动增加的迹象。当一只关在笼子里的老鼠闻到猫的气味并静止不动时，科学家观察到老鼠的PAG也有类似的变化。显而易见的结论是什么？PAG控制着动物在威胁情境下的战斗或逃跑反应)可知，作者提到笼中老鼠是为了引出“PAG控制动物在威胁情境下的战斗或逃跑反应”这一普遍的解读。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But what if brains don't have dedicated circuits for fighting and fleeing? People clearly experience threats, but is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural(神经的) circuitry? A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don't go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight - or - fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction.(但是如果大脑没有专门用于战斗和逃跑的回路呢？人们显然会经历威胁，但威胁检测真的是大脑具有自身神经回路的主要模式吗？我实验室最近的一系列证据表明，我们在生活中并不是一直在检测威胁并通过战斗或逃跑回路做出反应。实际上，大脑主要通过预测而非反应来运行)可知，作者认为“战斗或逃跑”这一观点忽视了大脑的预测能力。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Like every other animal, you have basic needs. To eat, drink and deal with other imperatives of life, you must move about in an ever - changing world populated with other living creatures.(和其他动物一样，你有基本需求。为了吃、喝以及应对生活中的其他imperatives，你必须在一个充满其他生物的不断变化的世界中活动)可知，为了吃、喝以及应对生活中的其他基本需求。此处“imperatives”与“basic needs”意思相近，指生活中的基本必需品。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇引出关于大脑在威胁情境下“战斗或逃跑”反应模式的常见观点。再根据第二段“Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction.(实际上，大脑主要通过预测而非做出反应来运行)”，后文围绕此观点展开阐述。B选项“Prediction, Not Reaction: How Brains Really Work (预测，而非反应：大脑真正的运行方式)准确概括了文章主旨,为最佳标题。选B项。 D Philosophers suffer from a bad reputation for dry and dull expression. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split. There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like but this isn’t the only approach to philosophical inquiry. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and music. Nothing captures attention quite like an appealing tale, and there exist profoundly philosophical stories that engage and delight, rather than lull the reader to sleep. One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which strives to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve — they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with. Consider what philosophers term the metaphysics (形而上学) of race — an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether race is real. Three primary positions can be adopted on this matter. One might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Alternatively, one might view race as socially constructed, similar to concepts like weekdays or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, one might argue that races are unreal — more comparable to mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns than to Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”). In Black No More, George Schuyler offers a social constructionist perspective on race. The story follows a Black scientist named Crookman who invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a concluding episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin so as to look more authentically White. Philosophically rich stories such as this breathe vitality into more technical philosophical works. They serve as narratives to think with, providing vivid, engaging access to complex abstract debates. 12. What is a crucial difference between formal philosophy and stories? A. Stories are intended to be more precise. B. Formal philosophy avoids abstract ideas. C. Stories inspire appreciation and critical thinking. D. Formal philosophy exists in academic journals only. 13. Which category might “national identity” fall into according to paragraph 4? A. Biological realism. B. Anti-realism. C. Social constructionism. D. Literary realism. 14. What message is conveyed in the novel Black No More? A. Race is actually real. B. Race is entirely fictional. C. Race is biologically fixed. D. Race is socially shaped. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To criticize philosophical writing for being boring. B. To argue that stories are superior to formal philosophy. C. To detail three metaphysical perspectives regarding race. D. To demonstrate literature’s capacity to explore philosophy. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。哲学家常被认为枯燥晦涩，而文学故事能生动表达哲学思想。文章以《不再是黑人》为例，说明故事可助力读者理解种族等抽象哲学问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which strives to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve — they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.(其优点之一在于，与严谨的哲学相比，故事并不刻意追求清晰明了。故事不会将其含义一览无余地展现在读者面前——它们需要读者去解读，而且往往会表达出相互矛盾的观点，让读者去思考和理解)”可知，正式的哲学与故事之间存在的一个关键的区别是故事能够激发人们的欣赏能力和批判性思维。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Alternatively, one might view race as socially constructed, similar to concepts like weekdays or currencies (“social constructionism”).(或者，人们也可以将种族视为一种社会建构的概念，类似于“工作日”或“货币”这类概念（“社会建构论”）)”可知，“民族认同”属于社会建构主义。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Black No More, George Schuyler offers a social constructionist perspective on race.( 在《不再是黑人》这部作品中，乔治・舒勒就种族问题提出了社会建构主义的观点)”可知，小说《不再是黑人》表达了种族是由社会所塑造的。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Philosophically rich stories such as this breathe vitality into more technical philosophical works. They serve as narratives to think with, providing vivid, engaging access to complex abstract debates.(像这样的富有哲理的故事能够为更为专业的哲学著作注入活力。它们充当了思考的载体，为复杂的抽象辩论提供了生动且引人入胜的阐释途径)”可知，作者撰写这篇文章的主要目的是展示文学在探讨哲学方面的能力。故选D。 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。 You might think that the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees would not be that great, but climate scientists have run simulations (模拟) of both situations. The news is not good. In many ways, a 2-degree rise wouldn’t simply be 33 percent worse than 1.5; it could be 100 percent worse. ___16___ Corn production in the tropics would go down twice as much. Any one of these effects of climate change will be bad enough. But no one’s going to suffer from just hot days, or just floods, and nothing else. That’s not how climate works. ___17___ ___18___ They like it humid (湿热的), and they’ll move from areas that dry out to ones that become more humid. So we’ll see cases of malaria and other insect-borne diseases where they’ve never appeared before. Heatstroke (中暑) will be another major problem, and it’s linked to the humidity, of all things. Air can contain only a certain amount of water vapor. At some point it hits a ceiling, filled with so much water that it can’t absorb any more. ___19___ Because the human body’s ability to cool off depends on the air’s ability to absorb sweat as it evaporates (蒸发). If the air can’t absorb your sweat, then it can’t cool you off, no matter how much you sweat. ___20___ Your body temperature stays high, and if nothing changes, you die of heatstroke within hours. A. Why do you sweat? B. Why does that matter? C. But you would find more examples later. D. There’s simply nowhere for your sweat to go. E. The effects of climate change add up, one on top of the other. F. Twice as many people would have trouble getting clean water. G. As it gets hotter, for example, mosquitoes will start living in new places. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。聚焦全球升温1.5℃与2℃的差异及其引发的多重叠加效应，通过具体实例与生理机制分析，揭示了小幅温差可能导致的非线性、系统性风险。 【16题详解】 上文“In many ways, a 2-degree rise wouldn’t simply be 33 percent worse than 1.5; it could be 100 percent worse.(在很多方面，气温上升2摄氏度并不只是比上升1.5摄氏度糟糕33%，而是可能糟糕100%)”指出气温上升2摄氏度的危害极大，下文“Corn production in the tropics would go down twice as much.(热带地区的玉米产量将下降两倍)”具体说明危害，F选项“Twice as many people would have trouble getting clean water.(两倍的人将难以获得干净的水)”也是具体危害，与下文句式一致、内容并列，承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“But no one’s going to suffer from just hot days, or just floods, and nothing else. That’s not how climate works.(但没有人只会遭受炎热天气或洪水这单一灾害，气候的影响并非如此)”说明气候变化的影响不是单一的，E选项“The effects of climate change add up, one on top of the other.(气候变化的影响会叠加起来，一个接一个出现)”承接上文，解释气候影响的特点，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 下文“They like it humid, and they’ll move from areas that dry out to ones that become more humid. So we’ll see cases of malaria and other insect-borne diseases where they’ve never appeared before.(它们喜欢湿热的环境，会从干旱地区迁移到更湿润的地区。所以我们会在从未出现过的地方看到疟疾和其他虫媒疾病病例)”介绍了某种生物随气候变化迁移并带来疾病，G选项“As it gets hotter, for example, mosquitoes will start living in new places.(例如，随着天气变热，蚊子将开始在新的地方生存)”引出蚊子这一生物，与下文内容对应，总起本段，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“At some point it hits a ceiling, filled with so much water that it can’t absorb any more.(在某种程度上，空气达到饱和，含水量过高无法再吸收更多水分)”说明空气无法吸收水分，下文“Because the human body’s ability to cool off depends on the air’s ability to absorb sweat as it evaporates.(因为人体降温的能力取决于空气吸收汗液蒸发的能力)”解释原因，B选项“Why does that matter?(这为什么重要？)”承上启下，引出下文的原因解释，符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“If the air can’t absorb your sweat, then it can’t cool you off, no matter how much you sweat.(如果空气无法吸收你的汗液，那么无论你出多少汗，都无法降温)”说明汗液无法被吸收，下文“Your body temperature stays high, and if nothing changes, you die of heatstroke within hours.(你的体温会持续升高，如果情况不变，几小时内就会中暑身亡)”说明后果，D选项“There’s simply nowhere for your sweat to go.(你的汗液根本无处可去)”承接上文，进一步解释汗液无法蒸发的状态，符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A few weeks ago, Tulsa, Oklahoma, sixth-grade teacher Melissa Bour received a friend request on Facebook from one of her students. She didn’t accept the request, but a quick browse (浏览) through the girl’s friends list ____21____ the names of dozens of kids from her classroom.

Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own. My father had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier. Because Dad had no pension or benefits, there was not much money; we went on social assistance. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles (鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. This was bread deep-fried in lard (猪油). Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn't look like we'd be in our current house much longer. Rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn't pay it, and we knew we would be forced out after Christmas. The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. An inspector came to our house and searched thoroughly to be sure we didn't have any food hidden away. When he didn't find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we'd have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us there would be no Christmas gifts. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots— boots with no cardboard in the soles. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, and cost $23. The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried toward the bus stop to catch the bus into town. But on the way to the bus stop I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized we had no lights, no decorations and no Christmas goodies. I also knew we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. But at least there would be French toast. 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。 As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The bus drove off without me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文1】 As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. The image of our shabby house and Mum’s worried expression kept flashing in my mind. The boots I had been longing for suddenly seemed less important. I thought about how happy my siblings would be if we had a proper Christmas. The guilt inside me grew stronger. I realized that the money could bring much-needed cheer to our home. Maybe I could buy some cheap but colorful Christmas decorations and a few small presents — for my family. The idea of making my family smile overshadowed my desire for the boots. The bus drove off without me. I stood alone, a strange sense of relief washing over me. I quickly made my way to a discount store. I picked out some twinkling lights, a small, artificial Christmas tree, and a box of cookies. When I arrived home, Mum was in the kitchen, looking tired. I showed her what I had bought, and her eyes widened in surprise. She hugged me tightly, and I felt a lump in my throat. That Christmas, our home was filled with laughter and love, and I knew I had made the right choice. 【参考范文2】 As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not? At the thought of my family, I found the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long far less appealing. As I reached the bus stop, the driver opened the door, waiting for me to get on. I stood there for what seemed like a century, until finally the driver asked, “Son, are you getting on this bus or not?” I finally burst out without hesitation, “No, thanks.” The bus drove off without me. I stood alone, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I knew what I had to do next. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went to buy a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every coin of my hard-earned money. Once I got home, I knocked on the door. I could not wait to see Mum’s face! When Mum opened the door, and saw me returning with a full load, she just stood there, too stunned to speak. Holding back the tears, I exclaimed excitedly, “Merry Christmas, Mum!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述在寒冷的12月，父亲早逝，母亲独自艰难抚养孩子们，家庭经济困难靠社会救助生活。圣诞节临近，本可用于买食物的25美元救助金母亲决定用来交房租，意味着没有圣诞礼物。而作者通过卖圣诞树、铲雪等零工攒钱想买双新靴子，在去买靴子的路上，作者看到别人家的圣诞装饰，开始反思自己的决定。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我继续往前走，开始觉得靴子可以先不买。”可知，第一段续写围绕 作者为何觉得靴子可以等展开。作者脑海不断浮现家里的破旧和母亲担忧的表情，意识到一直渴望的靴子此刻没那么重要了，想到用这笔钱能给家人带来圣诞欢乐，决定买些便宜但能增添节日氛围的装饰和小礼物。 ②由第二段首句内容“公交车没等我就开走了。”可知，第二段可续写作者前往折扣店挑选了闪烁的彩灯、小的人造圣诞树和一盒饼干。回到家给母亲展示，母亲惊讶并紧紧拥抱 作者，这个圣诞节家里充满欢笑和爱，作者明白自己做了正确选择。。 2.续写线索：继续走路思想转变——反思家庭状况决定买礼物——没上车去折扣店——买装饰礼物回家——母亲反应——家庭氛围及作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①闪现：flash in one’s mind/appear in one’s mind/come into one’s head ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③购买：buy/purchase/shop for 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②开心的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I arrived home, Mum was in the kitchen, looking tired.

The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” resonates with the idea that our mental landscape is similar to a garden, where the seeds of our thoughts determine the nature of our lives. This concept suggests that the way we nurture our thoughts can significantly impact our personal development and success. Our thoughts are the seeds that, when nurtured with care, can blossom into the flowers of success and happiness. Conversely, neglecting the cultivation of our thoughts can lead to a life overgrown with the weeds of failure and despair. To ensure our minds bear the fruits of our desires, it's crucial to prepare the soil of our minds with the nutrients of education, health, and effective time management. These elements enrich our mental landscape, providing the ideal environment for our ambitions to take root and flourish. The principle of sowing and reaping (收获) is as true for our lives as it is for a garden. Just as a gardener who plants tomatoes expects tomatoes, we should anticipate that the intentional cultivation of our thoughts will yield a corresponding harvest in life. Each of us holds the power to choose which seeds to plant, and thus, the responsibility for the outcomes we reap. Moreover, the impact of our thoughts extends beyond personal success; they also influence our relationships and societal contributions. Kind thoughts and actions can foster harmony and cooperation, while negative thoughts can lead to conflict and isolation. The choice to plant seeds of empathy and understanding can result in a life enriched by strong social bonds and a sense of community. Additionally, our thoughts can shape our resilience in the face of adversity, as optimistic thinking can guide us through challenges, whereas pessimism may hinder our ability to overcome obstacles. Drawing everything together, the garden of our mind requires deliberate tending. By selecting and nurturing positive thoughts, and by preparing the conditions for their growth, we can harvest a life rich with the fulfillment of our goals and dreams. The choice is ours: to plant the seeds of potential or to let the garden lie fallow (休耕). It is through this conscious cultivation that we can transform our minds from a plot overgrown with weeds into a garden blooming with the flowers of success and the fruits of meaningful contributions to society. The power to shape our destiny lies within us, and it begins with the thoughts we choose to plant today. 4. How does the author illustrate the concept of mental preparation in paragraph 1? A. By relating it to the achievement of personal goals. B. By emphasizing the importance of seeds of thoughts. C. By associating it with the management of natural conditions. D. By comparing it to the process of gardening and seed nurturing. 5 What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Life outcomes are decided in advance. B. Life outcomes come from desires. C. Cultivating thoughts shapes life outcomes. D. Cultivating thoughts relies on life outcomes. 6. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The power of thoughts in shaping our lives. B. The importance of personal success in society. C. The role of empathy in building a strong community. D. The effect of optimism on overcoming life's challenges. 7. What conclusion can we draw from the text? A. We cannot change our destiny. B. Cultivating positive thoughts matters. C. Personal goals depend on social impact. D. Our thoughts can directly lead to success. C When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person’s brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse’s PAG. What’s the obvious conclusion? The PAG controls fight-or-flight responses of animals in threatening situations. But what if brains don’t have dedicated circuits for fighting and fleeing? People clearly experience threats, but is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural (神经的) circuitry? A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don’t go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight-or-fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction. All brains constantly anticipate the needs of the body and attempt to meet those needs before they arise. They seek to reduce uncertainty to survive in circumstances that are only partially predictable. Like every other animal, you have basic needs. To eat, drink and deal with other imperatives of life, you must move about in an ever-changing world populated with other living creatures. In an uncertain situation, your brain must gather multiple predictions with multiple action plans and maintain them for an extended time through neural activity and other brain functions. Uncertainty is a normal condition of life, but these days, with social media and round-the-clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards (轰炸) us. At every moment, there’s a crisis somewhere in the world: wars, natural disasters and other issues. Too much uncertainty can leave you feeling anxious and worn out. But these feelings don’t emerge from overtaxed fight-or-flight circuits. They may just mean your brain is trying hard to tackle something uncertain. 8. Why does the author mention the caged mouse? A. To correct an obvious mistake. B. To illustrate a common observation. C. To make a simple comparison. D. To introduce a popular interpretation. 9. What does the author think of the fight-or-flight idea? A. It overlooks the brain’s predictive power. B. It can keep humans’ bad manners in check. C. It accounts for a primary mode of the brain. D. It best explains the animals’ neural activity. 10. What does the underlined word “imperatives” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Complex instructions. B. Essential necessities. C. Unpredictable challenges. D. Repeated actions and habits. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Uncertainty: The Brain’s Greatest Challenge B. Prediction, Not Reaction: How Brains Really Work C. The Truth about the Brain’s Threat Detection System D. Inside the Periaqueductal Gray: A Key Brain Region D Philosophers suffer from a bad reputation for dry and dull expression. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split. There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like but this isn’t the only approach to philosophical inquiry. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and music. Nothing captures attention quite like an appealing tale, and there exist profoundly philosophical stories that engage and delight, rather than lull the reader to sleep. One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which strives to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve — they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with. Consider what philosophers term the metaphysics (形而上学) of race — an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether race is real. Three primary positions can be adopted on this matter. One might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Alternatively, one might view race as socially constructed, similar to concepts like weekdays or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, one might argue that races are unreal — more comparable to mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns than to Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”). In Black No More, George Schuyler offers a social constructionist perspective on race. The story follows a Black scientist named Crookman who invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a concluding episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin so as to look more authentically White. Philosophically rich stories such as this breathe vitality into more technical philosophical works. They serve as narratives to think with, providing vivid, engaging access to complex abstract debates. 12. What is a crucial difference between formal philosophy and stories? A. Stories are intended to be more precise. B. Formal philosophy avoids abstract ideas. C. Stories inspire appreciation and critical thinking. D Formal philosophy exists in academic journals only. 13. Which category might “national identity” fall into according to paragraph 4? A. Biological realism. B. Anti-realism. C. Social constructionism. D. Literary realism. 14. What message is conveyed in the novel Black No More? A. Race is actually real. B. Race is entirely fictional. C. Race is biologically fixed. D. Race is socially shaped. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To criticize philosophical writing for being boring. B. To argue that stories are superior to formal philosophy. C. To detail three metaphysical perspectives regarding race. D. To demonstrate literature’s capacity to explore philosophy. 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。 You might think that the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees would not be that great, but climate scientists have run simulations (模拟) of both situations. The news is not good. In many ways, a 2-degree rise wouldn’t simply be 33 percent worse than 1.5; it could be 100 percent worse. ___16___ Corn production in the tropics would go down twice as much. Any one of these effects of climate change will be bad enough. But no one’s going to suffer from just hot days, or just floods, and nothing else. That’s not how climate works. ___17___ ___18___ They like it humid (湿热的), and they’ll move from areas that dry out to ones that become more humid. So we’ll see cases of malaria and other insect-borne diseases where they’ve never appeared before. Heatstroke (中暑) will be another major problem, and it’s linked to the humidity, of all things. Air can contain only a certain amount of water vapor. At some point it hits a ceiling, filled with so much water that it can’t absorb any more. ___19___ Because the human body’s ability to cool off depends on the air’s ability to absorb sweat as it evaporates (蒸发). If the air can’t absorb your sweat, then it can’t cool you off, no matter how much you sweat. ___20___ Your body temperature stays high, and if nothing changes, you die of heatstroke within hours. A. Why do you sweat? B. Why does that matter? C. But you would find more examples later. D. There’s simply nowhere for your sweat to go. E. The effects of climate change add up, one on top of the other. F. Twice as many people would have trouble getting clean water. G. As it gets hotter, for example, mosquitoes will start living in new places. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A few weeks ago, Tulsa, Oklahoma, sixth-grade teacher Melissa Bour received a friend request on Facebook from one of her students.

Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own. My father had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier. Because Dad had no pension or benefits, there was not much money; we went on social assistance. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles (鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. This was bread deep-fried in lard (猪油). Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn't look like we'd be in our current house much longer. Rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn't pay it, and we knew we would be forced out after Christmas. The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. An inspector came to our house and searched thoroughly to be sure we didn't have any food hidden away. When he didn't find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we'd have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us there would be no Christmas gifts. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots— boots with no cardboard in the soles. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, and cost $23. The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried toward the bus stop to catch the bus into town. But on the way to the bus stop I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized we had no lights, no decorations and no Christmas goodies. I also knew we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. But at least there would be French toast. 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。 As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The bus drove off without me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
