It’s not that I’m addicted to it, or have important calls, but I need the alarm to wake me up every morning. W: Yeah, but that’s where the risk is. According to experts, we should switch our phones off and on once a day as a security measure. It helps close the applications running in the background and stop data collection processes we’re not aware of. M: Sounds reasonable. Do we switch the phone off and switch it back on immediately? W: Well, better wait for a few minutes. M: When do you usually do that? W: I do it every night before going to bed. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, a lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco, and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him, but unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Hollywood Bus Tours: Experience Los Angeles with Your Local Sightseeing Experts!

(在旅游巴士上观光和自己探索的时间真是太棒了！)”可知，游客可以在这条路线上欣赏景色并且自由探索。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Private L.A. Tours标题下“Our private tours are great for small, medium, and large groups that come together for personal or professional experiences. (我们的私人旅游非常适合小型，中型和大型团体，他们聚集在一起进行个人或专业体验)”可知，这是为不同规模大小的团体量身定制的一条旅游线路。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“Hollywood Bus Tours: Experience Los Angeles with Your Local Sightseeing Experts! (好莱坞巴士之旅：与您当地的观光专家一起体验洛杉矶！)”可知，这篇文章最有可能来自于一本旅游杂志。故选A项。 B I first felt it when my ottoman (箱式凳) broke. It’s one of those classic college storage ottomans and I guess the wear and tear from not properly putting back the cover finally caused the seat to cave in. I was annoyed. My ottoman was broken. And my next thought was, “Well, it’s not worth buying a new one since I’ll be leaving soon anyway.” And there it was. Suddenly, I crossed the threshold (门槛): I was so close to the expiration date that it wasn’t worth replacing broken things. With this date approaching, there is an urge to make the most of things while you can. Pre-graduation must-do lists spring from nowhere. Mistakes are admitted. Risks are taken. What was once a foreign, formless concept is suddenly staring you in the face: graduation is here. It’s a frightening thing, but a beautiful one. It’s a reminder to live life to the fullest and not to leave regrets behind. The logical knowledge that all things end is no match for the natural human capacity for adaptation. But there is a wonderful, brief period of time when the feeling finally sinks in, and suddenly the here and now is real, limited, and special. Small things become big to us seniors now: walking to class on a nice day, a kind professor, a joke with friends. I’ve only been able to find this feeling a few times in my life, every time on the edge between something old and something just beginning. But each time, I hold onto it as a reminder that with every ending, no matter how bitter or how sweet, there are some things worth holding onto and others worth letting go. It’s a reminder that these moments that I’m suddenly grateful for or these opportunities that I’m suddenly ready to seize were here for much longer than I was able to appreciate them, and that in my next phase of life, it’s worth slowing down to make the most of what I have. 24. What does the broken ottoman remind the author of? A. His attachment to it. B. The coming graduation. C. His memory of college. D. The regular use of it. 25. What does the underlined word “expiration” mean in paragraph 2? A. Extension. B. Exam. C. Expectation. D. End. 26. Why do small things become huge to those seniors? A. They feel time is running out. B. They hope to graduate on time. C. They have found a new hobby. D. They regret wasting their days. 27. What does the author call on people to do? A. Try to adapt to new environments. B. Value and experience the present. C. Avoid feeling bitter about changes. D. Get ready for the future in advance. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者由箱式凳损坏一事感悟毕业将至，意识到时光有限，从而更加珍惜当下的点滴，呼吁人们在新阶段也要慢下来，活在当下，不留遗憾。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What was once a foreign, formless concept is suddenly staring you in the face: graduation is here.(曾经那个陌生且模糊的概念，此刻竟赫然呈现在你眼前：毕业时刻到了)”可知，这把损坏的脚凳让作者意识到毕业临近了。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Well, it’s not worth buying a new one since I’ll be leaving soon anyway. (嗯，既然我很快就要离开了，买新的也没什么意义了)”以及后文“graduation is here(毕业时刻到了)”可知，作者快要毕业了，即作者大学生活“结束”。故划线词意思是“结束”。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But there is a wonderful, brief period of time when the feeling finally sinks in, and suddenly the here and now is real, limited, and special. Small things become big to us seniors now: walking to class on a nice day, a kind professor, a joke with friends.(但会有一段短暂而美妙的时光，此时那种感觉终于在我们心中深深扎根，突然间，此时此刻变得真实、有限且特别起来。对于大四学生而言，一些小事此刻变得意义非凡：在美好的天气里步行去上课、一位和蔼的教授、与朋友开的玩笑)”可知，对于大四学生来说，一些小事会变得如此重要是因为他们觉得时间所剩无几。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s a reminder that these moments that I’m suddenly grateful for or these opportunities that I’m suddenly ready to seize were here for much longer than I was able to appreciate them, and that in my next phase of life, it’s worth slowing down to make the most of what I have.(这提醒我们，那些让我突然心怀感激的时刻，或者那些我突然准备好要抓住的机会，其实一直存在的时间比我能够充分领略它们的美好所要长得多。而在我人生的下一个阶段，值得我们放慢脚步，充分利用我们所拥有的)”可知，作者呼吁人们重视并享受当下。故选B。 C Imagine dining at your favorite restaurant, seated at the best table — next to a window with great views. It is nice and quiet, but the joy experienced during the first hour fades over time. The reason?Habituation. That’s our brain’s tendency to respond less and less to things that are constant, that don’t change. Briefly moving to a noisier area can bring about dishabituation, making the luxury of your window seat feel fresh and more appreciated when you return. For another example, consider vacations. A few years ago, Tali, an employee in a travel company,went on a work trip to a sunny resort in the Dominican Republic. She wondered if people had a better time at the start of their trips. She interviewed people worldwide and asked them to rate their feelings throughout their holidays in the survey. The data revealed that joy peaked 43 hours in. At the end of day two was when they were happiest. Thereafter it was all downhill. Even when they returned home, many still benefited from a warm holiday afterglow (回味). But within a week, they adjusted to normal life, making it hard to detect any vacation effect on their mood.This evidence suggests that you might benefit most from several small trips spread through the year,rather than one long escape. That way, you will experience the pleasure more often. What about unpleasant experiences? Should you divide those up too? Most people want to bear the unpleasantness bit by bit. When researchers asked people whether they would like a break from a bad smell or just bear it all at once and be done with it, 90 people said,“Breaks, please!”. The vast majority — 82 out of 119 — also said they wanted a break from an annoying noise. However, this is incorrect.Breaks interrupted their natural habituation to the unwelcome stimulus. For unpleasant tasks, it’s wiser not to chop them up. Otherwise, when you return, things seem worse. The results of psychological experiments are clear, however, and being mindful of habituation’s powerful effect could help us all experience a bit less pain and a little more pleasure. 28. How does the author introduce the concept of habituation? A. By giving a vivid example. B. By listing specific numbers. C. By illustrating cause and effect. D. By providing a theoretical model. 29. What does Tali’s survey show? A. The ratings of vacation. B. The influence of vacation. C. The reasons for happiness. D. The peak time of happiness. 30. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. Fresh weekend trips. B. A regular walking route. C. Breaks from cleaning the toilet. D. Frequent tasting of a delicious dish. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how to avoid habituation in daily life. B. To introduce the concept of habituation and its influences. C. To compare people’s reactions to pleasant and unpleasant things. D. To present research findings on holiday and work experience. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过举例说明习惯化的概念及其对人们感受愉快和不愉快经历的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Imagine dining at your favorite restaurant, seated at the best table — next to a window with great views. It is nice and quiet, but the joy experienced during the first hour fades over time. The reason?Habituation.(想象一下，在你最喜欢的餐厅用餐，坐在最好的桌子旁——靠窗，视野很好。这里很安静，但第一小时感受到的快乐会随着时间的推移而消退。原因是什么？习惯化。)”可知，作者通过给出在最喜欢的餐厅用餐的生动例子来引入“习惯化”这一概念。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She interviewed people worldwide and asked them to rate their feelings throughout their holidays in the survey. The data revealed that joy peaked 43 hours in. At the end of day two was when they were happiest.(她采访了世界各地的人，并让他们在调查中对自己整个假期的感觉进行评分。数据显示，快乐在43小时达到顶峰。在第二天结束时，他们是最快乐的。)”可知，Tali的调查显示了快乐的顶峰时间。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This evidence suggests that you might benefit most from several small trips spread through the year, rather than one long escape. That way, you will experience the pleasure more often.(这些证据表明，一年中分散进行几次小旅行可能比一次长时间的逃避更有益。这样，你会更频繁地体验到快乐。)”可知，作者可能会同意经常进行新鲜的周末旅行。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“That’s our brain’s tendency to respond less and less to things that are constant, that don’t change. Briefly moving to a noisier area can bring about dishabituation, making the luxury of your window seat feel fresh and more appreciated when you return.(这是我们大脑对恒定不变的事物反应越来越少的倾向。短暂地搬到一个更嘈杂的地方会引起去习惯化，当你回来时，窗边的座位会让你感到新鲜和更受欣赏。)”可知，文章主要介绍了“习惯化”这一概念，并通过举例和实验研究阐述了它对人们感受的影响，这也是文章的目的。故选B。 D The dawn chorus of birds has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is a lasting mystery. Now, a series of experiments in zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness prevents singing, birds build up a stronger motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn. Anil Kamath and his team members studied laboratory-raised zebra finches in carefully controlled lighting conditions to control the timing of light and dark cycles. The team first pushed back the time at which the finches were exposed to sudden bright light to 3 hours later than the actual dawn. The birds were awake but stayed silent in the artificial darkness, and when the lights eventually did come on, the birds sang more intensely than usual. When the lights came on 3 hours earlier than the actual dawn, the birds still broke into a chorus, but without the same intensity as when they were forced to wait. “In other words, the longer the period of time between when the birds wake up and when the light begins is, the more intense the chorus becomes,” Kamath says. The team also analysed the birds’ songs to see how these changed over the course of the day. They found there were rapid shifts in the structure of the songs in the first hour after dawn, compared with the second hour. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song-acoustic structure may slightly become worse, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore them,” says Kamath. While this study only looks at one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species. But Kamath urges caution. “There are many differences between species in how and when they sing in the dawn chorus,” he says, “and this explains why 11 different theories have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.” Kamath advises broadening the range of species to be studied in the future. 32. How did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. By adjusting light exposure time. B. By recording birds across seasons. C. By training the birds to sing on time. D. By changing the birds’ living space. 33. What does Kamath’s team find about zebra finches? A. Their songs are relatively stable. B. Darkness holds back their singing desire. C. Their waking time affects chorus intensity. D. Night singing is good for their vocal system. 34. What is Kamath’s suggestion about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Light Affects Birds’ Routine B. Theories about the Dawn Chorus C Zebra Finches: A Model for Bird Studies D. Why Birds Burst into Song at Dawn 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项针对斑胸草雀的实验研究发现，黑暗抑制鸟类鸣唱但会积累其鸣唱动机，导致它们在黎明时更强烈地歌唱，且鸣唱结构在黎明后迅速恢复。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Anil Kamath and his team members studied laboratory-raised zebra finches in carefully controlled lighting conditions to control the timing of light and dark cycles. The team first pushed back the time at which the finches were exposed to sudden bright light to 3 hours later than the actual dawn. (Anil Kamath及其团队成员在精心控制的光照条件下对实验室饲养的斑胸草雀进行了研究，以控制光照和黑暗周期的时间。该团队首先将斑胸草雀接触强光的时间推迟了3个小时，使其比实际日出时间晚3个小时。)”和“When the lights came on 3 hours earlier than the actual dawn, the birds still broke into a chorus, but without the same intensity as when they were forced to wait. (当灯光比实际天亮时间提前了3个小时亮起时，鸟儿们还是齐声鸣叫起来，但其声音的强度已不如被迫等待时那么强烈了。)”可知，研究人员通过调整光照时间来进行实验。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Kamath所说的话“In other words, the longer the period of time between when the birds wake up and when the light begins is, the more intense the chorus becomes (换句话说，鸟儿醒来与光线开始之间的时间间隔越长，合唱就越强烈。)”可知，Kamath的团队发现斑胸草雀的醒来时间会影响合唱的强度。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Kamath advises broadening the range of species to be studied in the future. (Kamath建议未来扩大研究的物种范围)”可知，Kamath的建议是关于进一步研究的可能方向。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“The dawn chorus of birds has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is a lasting mystery. (数千年来，鸟类的黎明合唱给诗人和自然爱好者带来了灵感，但鸟类以这种方式开始一天的原因是一个持久的谜。)”可知，文章首段提出鸟类晨鸣原因是个谜，后文通过实验探讨斑胸草雀在黑暗中积累鸣唱动机，并在黎明爆发性歌唱的原因，结尾指出需扩大研究以理解普遍现象。因此，D项“鸟类为何在黎明时分放声歌唱”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 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。 Understanding Risk Awareness Risk awareness is an interesting aspect of human mind, influencing decisions from daily activities to major life choices. Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them. ____36____ For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts. ____37____ Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules. ____38____ In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property. Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen. ____39____ Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality. Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions. ____40____Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health. A. Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes. B. In fact, we make judgments about various risks every single day. C. This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources. D. People in different societies have completely opposite views on risk. E. Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks. F. Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations. G. Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking. 【答案】36. G 37. E 38. A 39. F 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文阐释风险认知这一心理现象，分析其受心理习惯、文化经济背景、媒体报道的影响，及理解它的公共与政策层面意义。 【36题详解】 由上文“Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them.(人们常常错误地判断风险，要么夸大要么低估。)”和下文“For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts.(例如，从数据来看，坐飞机比开车更安全，可很多人却对坐飞机感到更多担忧。这种差异很大程度上源于思维研究领域的专家所称的可得性心理误区—— 这是一种心理捷径，那些容易被记起的事件（比如飞机相关事故）会借此主导我们的想法。)”可知，空格处需点明风险误判的原因，衔接前文的误判现象与后文的原因举例。G项“Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking.(这种误判往往源于我们用来简化思考的心理习惯。)”符合语境，“Such misjudgments”指代前文的“judge wrongly risks”，且与下文的“availability mental trick”相呼应，逻辑连贯。故选G项。 【37题详解】 由下文“Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules.(一些社会推崇冒险和新想法，接受冒险行为，而另一些社会则将安全放在首位，行事谨慎。这些态度由历史经历、经济稳定性和社会规则塑造。)”可知，空格处需作为主题句，点明社会文化背景对人们风险观的影响。E项“Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks.(文化背景深刻影响着人们看待和应对风险的方式。)”符合语境，该句总领本段，“Cultural backgrounds”对应下文的“societies”和“historical experiences, societal rules”，精准概括本段主旨，逻辑清晰。故选E项。 【38题详解】 由上文“These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules.(这些态度由历史经历、经济稳定性和社会规则塑造。)”和下文 “In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property.(在经济不公现象突出的国家，人们可能会更愿意冒险，因为他们拥有的资源和机会本就寥寥，也觉得自己没什么可失去的。与之相反，富裕社会的人们则可能会规避风险，以维持现有生活状况、保护自身财产。)”可知，空格处需承上启下，点明经济因素对风险态度的作用。A项“Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes.(经济状况也在塑造风险态度方面发挥着作用。)”符合语境，“also”承接前文的历史、社会等影响因素，“Economic conditions” 对应下文的经济不平等、富裕社会等内容，逻辑连贯。故选A项。 【39题详解】 由上文“Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen.(此外，媒体报道极大地改变了人们对风险的认知。)”和下文“Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality.(关于罕见但极具破坏性事件的骇人报道，营造出扭曲的现实印象。)”可知，空格处需说明媒体报道的特点，解释其为何会扭曲风险认知。F项“Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations.(媒体往往关注戏剧性事件，忽视普通但安全的情况。)”符合语境，该句承接前文的媒体影响，“focus on dramatic events”对应下文的“Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events”，解释了媒体扭曲风险认知的原因，逻辑清晰。故选F项。 【40题详解】 由上文“Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions.(公共宣传和教育通过提供平衡的信息来对抗这种现象，帮助人们做出明智的决定。)”和下文“Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health.(理解风险意识背后的心理机制，能让政策制定者为公共安全和健康制定更好的计划。)”可知，空格处需承接前文的“获取平衡信息”，点明其重要性，同时衔接后文的现实意义。C项“This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources.(这就是为什么从可靠来源获取信息至关重要。)”符合语境，“This”指代前文媒体扭曲风险认知、需通过平衡信息纠正的情况，“get information from reliable sources”呼应前文的“providing balanced information”，同时为后文的现实应用做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选C项。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My story in China began with a heartbeat of panic at Chengdu airport. ____41____ and knowing no Chinese, I entered a new world.

However unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided to apply for a part-time job at a popular restaurant. The reason was simple: I needed money. I wanted to join a camping trip to the Blue Mountains with my friends, but that would cost about 150 dollars. “You have to pay for entertainment by yourself,” my parents said. So I applied, and Mr. Smith, the boss of the restaurant, allowed me to have a try. My job was super easy and boring: the newly prepared dishes would be put at the counter between the kitchen and dining room, and it was my duty to deliver them to the right customers. The first few days were tiring but OK. However, setbacks soon followed as I struggled to keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush. I awkwardly spilled a tray of drinks, making loud noises and the floor messy. I was embarrassed and began to feel nervous. One evening, I mixed up orders for a large party, causing chaos and frustration. I felt desperate. I screwed everything up. Then I heard Mr. Smith call me, and I went into his office with my head low. To my surprise, he didn’t blame me. Instead, he made me a cup of coffee. “Relax, young man,” he said. “Try to smile. Things always go wrong if you can’t really enjoy what you’re doing. Feel the fun in the job, and you’ll be OK!” I thought he was right. The next day when I was working, I glimpsed into the kitchen and was amazed: in the narrow and crowded space everyone was busy — the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling customers’ requirements, others coming and going with dishes to deliver — but everything went smoothly without any lumping or bumping. This was incredible! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. I smiled to everyone I met, and they returned me with warmer smiles, which made me relaxed and even more concentrated on my job. Following the smiles were natural conversations, jokes and laughter, and an air of harmony was created where I worked. I still made some mistakes like forgetting the change or wrong deliveries, but they were easily corrected with a little kind reminding. I even tried helping out in the kitchen preparing the food. “You can be a good chef!” They encouraged me. Why not? Who knew! On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. I thanked him for giving me the job opportunity, especially for forgiving me when I caused chaos. My gratitude was sincere, for the experience not just greatly promoted my understanding of restaurant jobs, but was beneficial to anything else I would do. In return, Mr. Smith thanked me for my job performance, and paid me the salary that I needed for my camp trip. My father was right: I had to earn it by myself, because what I gained was a lot more. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，主要讲述了作者为了赚取去露营的费用，决定在一家受欢迎的餐厅申请兼职工作。尽管他对餐厅厨房的混乱声音感到不适，但经济需求促使他申请了这个职位。他的工作是将厨房做好的菜送到顾客那里，虽然简单但很快他就感到了压力，尤其是在高峰时段。他犯了一些错误，如打翻饮料和搞混订单，这让他感到绝望和尴尬。然而，餐厅老板Smith先生并没有责怪他，而是鼓励他放松并享受工作，认为这样会改善他的表现。受到启发后，作者尝试以积极的态度看待工作，惊讶地发现厨房中的混乱其实是有序的。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我对餐馆工作的态度开始改变”可知，第一段可描写作者开始积极地对待自己的工作，认真地干活，以及作者虽然还是会犯错，但是会及时纠正，心情轻松很多。 ②由第二段首句内容“在我合同的最后一天，我下班后又去了Smith先生的办公室”可知，第二段可描写作者真诚地感谢Smith先生，并领取自己的薪水，以及作者从这个经历中得到的感悟。 2. 续写线索：工作态度转变——积极工作——心情变化——去Smith先生的办公室——感谢Smith先生——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①遇到：meet/encounter ②专注于：concentrate on/focus on ③创造：create/generate ④促进：promote/facilitate/advance ⑤收获：gain/attain/achieve 情绪类 ①放松的：relaxed/relieved ②感激：gratitude/gratefulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I smiled to everyone I met, and they returned me with warmer smiles, which made me relaxed and even more concentrated on my job.

B I first felt it when my ottoman (箱式凳) broke. It’s one of those classic college storage ottomans and I guess the wear and tear from not properly putting back the cover finally caused the seat to cave in. I was annoyed. My ottoman was broken. And my next thought was, “Well, it’s not worth buying a new one since I’ll be leaving soon anyway.” And there it was. Suddenly, I crossed the threshold (门槛): I was so close to the expiration date that it wasn’t worth replacing broken things. With this date approaching, there is an urge to make the most of things while you can. Pre-graduation must-do lists spring from nowhere. Mistakes are admitted. Risks are taken. What was once a foreign, formless concept is suddenly staring you in the face: graduation is here. It’s a frightening thing, but a beautiful one. It’s a reminder to live life to the fullest and not to leave regrets behind. The logical knowledge that all things end is no match for the natural human capacity for adaptation. But there is a wonderful, brief period of time when the feeling finally sinks in, and suddenly the here and now is real, limited, and special. Small things become big to us seniors now: walking to class on a nice day, a kind professor, a joke with friends. I’ve only been able to find this feeling a few times in my life, every time on the edge between something old and something just beginning. But each time, I hold onto it as a reminder that with every ending, no matter how bitter or how sweet, there are some things worth holding onto and others worth letting go. It’s a reminder that these moments that I’m suddenly grateful for or these opportunities that I’m suddenly ready to seize were here for much longer than I was able to appreciate them, and that in my next phase of life, it’s worth slowing down to make the most of what I have. 24. What does the broken ottoman remind the author of? A. His attachment to it. B. The coming graduation. C. His memory of college. D. The regular use of it. 25. What does the underlined word “expiration” mean in paragraph 2? A. Extension. B. Exam. C. Expectation. D. End. 26. Why do small things become huge to those seniors? A. They feel time is running out. B. They hope to graduate on time. C. They have found a new hobby. D. They regret wasting their days. 27. What does the author call on people to do? A. Try to adapt to new environments. B. Value and experience the present. C Avoid feeling bitter about changes. D. Get ready for the future in advance. C Imagine dining at your favorite restaurant, seated at the best table — next to a window with great views. It is nice and quiet, but the joy experienced during the first hour fades over time. The reason?Habituation. That’s our brain’s tendency to respond less and less to things that are constant, that don’t change. Briefly moving to a noisier area can bring about dishabituation, making the luxury of your window seat feel fresh and more appreciated when you return. For another example, consider vacations. A few years ago, Tali, an employee in a travel company,went on a work trip to a sunny resort in the Dominican Republic. She wondered if people had a better time at the start of their trips. She interviewed people worldwide and asked them to rate their feelings throughout their holidays in the survey. The data revealed that joy peaked 43 hours in. At the end of day two was when they were happiest. Thereafter it was all downhill. Even when they returned home, many still benefited from a warm holiday afterglow (回味). But within a week, they adjusted to normal life, making it hard to detect any vacation effect on their mood.This evidence suggests that you might benefit most from several small trips spread through the year,rather than one long escape. That way, you will experience the pleasure more often. What about unpleasant experiences? Should you divide those up too? Most people want to bear the unpleasantness bit by bit. When researchers asked people whether they would like a break from a bad smell or just bear it all at once and be done with it, 90 people said,“Breaks, please!”. The vast majority — 82 out of 119 — also said they wanted a break from an annoying noise. However, this is incorrect.Breaks interrupted their natural habituation to the unwelcome stimulus. For unpleasant tasks, it’s wiser not to chop them up. Otherwise, when you return, things seem worse. The results of psychological experiments are clear, however, and being mindful of habituation’s powerful effect could help us all experience a bit less pain and a little more pleasure. 28. How does the author introduce the concept of habituation? A By giving a vivid example. B. By listing specific numbers. C. By illustrating cause and effect. D. By providing a theoretical model. 29. What does Tali’s survey show? A. The ratings of vacation. B. The influence of vacation. C. The reasons for happiness. D. The peak time of happiness. 30. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. Fresh weekend trips. B. A regular walking route. C. Breaks from cleaning the toilet. D. Frequent tasting of a delicious dish. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how to avoid habituation in daily life. B. To introduce the concept of habituation and its influences. C. To compare people’s reactions to pleasant and unpleasant things. D. To present research findings on holiday and work experience. D The dawn chorus of birds has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is a lasting mystery. Now, a series of experiments in zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness prevents singing, birds build up a stronger motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn. Anil Kamath and his team members studied laboratory-raised zebra finches in carefully controlled lighting conditions to control the timing of light and dark cycles. The team first pushed back the time at which the finches were exposed to sudden bright light to 3 hours later than the actual dawn. The birds were awake but stayed silent in the artificial darkness, and when the lights eventually did come on, the birds sang more intensely than usual. When the lights came on 3 hours earlier than the actual dawn, the birds still broke into a chorus, but without the same intensity as when they were forced to wait. “In other words, the longer the period of time between when the birds wake up and when the light begins is, the more intense the chorus becomes,” Kamath says. The team also analysed the birds’ songs to see how these changed over the course of the day. They found there were rapid shifts in the structure of the songs in the first hour after dawn, compared with the second hour. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song-acoustic structure may slightly become worse, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore them,” says Kamath. While this study only looks at one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species. But Kamath urges caution. “There are many differences between species in how and when they sing in the dawn chorus,” he says, “and this explains why 11 different theories have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.” Kamath advises broadening the range of species to be studied in the future. 32. How did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. By adjusting light exposure time. B. By recording birds across seasons. C. By training the birds to sing on time. D. By changing the birds’ living space. 33. What does Kamath’s team find about zebra finches? A. Their songs are relatively stable. B. Darkness holds back their singing desire. C. Their waking time affects chorus intensity. D. Night singing is good for their vocal system. 34. What is Kamath’s suggestion about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Light Affects Birds’ Routine B. Theories about the Dawn Chorus C. Zebra Finches: A Model for Bird Studies D. Why Birds Burst into Song at Dawn 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。 Understanding Risk Awareness Risk awareness is an interesting aspect of human mind, influencing decisions from daily activities to major life choices. Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them. ____36____ For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts. ____37____ Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules. ____38____ In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property. Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen. ____39____ Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality. Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions. ____40____Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health. A. Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes. B. In fact, we make judgments about various risks every single day. C. This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources. D. People in different societies have completely opposite views on risk. E. Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks. F. Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations. G. Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My story in China began with a heartbeat of panic at Chengdu airport. ____41____ and knowing no Chinese, I entered a new world.

However unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided to apply for a part-time job at a popular restaurant. The reason was simple: I needed money. I wanted to join a camping trip to the Blue Mountains with my friends, but that would cost about 150 dollars. “You have to pay for entertainment by yourself,” my parents said. So I applied and Mr. Smith, the boss of the restaurant, allowed me to have a try. My job was super easy and boring: the newly prepared dishes would be put at the counter between the kitchen and dining room, and it was my duty to deliver them to the right customers. The first few days were tiring but OK. However, setbacks soon followed as I struggled to keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush. I awkwardly spilled a tray of drinks, making loud noises and the floor messy. I was embarrassed and began to feel nervous. One evening, I mixed up orders for a large party, causing chaos and frustration. I felt desperate. I screwed everything up. Then I heard Mr. Smith call me, and I went into his office with my head low. To my surprise, he didn’t blame me. Instead, he made me a cup of coffee. “Relax, young man,” he said. “Try to smile. Things always go wrong if you can’t really enjoy what you’re doing. Feel the fun in the job, and you’ll be OK!” I thought he was right. The next day when I was working, I glimpsed into the kitchen and was amazed: in the narrow and crowded space everyone was busy — the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling customers’ requirements, others coming and going with dishes to deliver — but everything went smoothly without any lumping or bumping. This was incredible! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Excuse me, is there a flower . shop nearby?

Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting, new books sharing today. We've invited doctor kasper mvo lectures from the university of london. Doctor melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called blues and soul. In one thousand ninety two, he moved to san Francesco and found IT, a jazz magazine named on the one with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in IT. In one thousand nine ninety seven, he moved back to london and started teaching and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in london. He feels that the music in london clubs has formed him. But unfortunately, IT has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. This book is a london thing is meant to change that situation. So let's welcome doctor marvel to share with us his ideas in the book. Hello everybody. Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting.
