B (原创)If I hadn't been a struggling violinist, I might have never become a writer. In fourth grade, my school had an orchestra program, and I eagerly signed up to learn the violin with my friend Irene. We both loved the idea of being in the orchestra and walked together to our music lessons every week. Our orchestra teacher, Mr. Baumgartner, was strict. He told us that if we damaged our instruments, we'd be kicked out of the program because the school couldn't afford replacements. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at the violin. One day, while practicing, the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke. Scared of Mr. Baumgartner's reaction, I tried to fix it myself with some glue. But when he saw my crooked bridge, he told me I couldn't be in the orchestra anymore. Instead, he suggested I join the glee club. I switched to the glee club and found I enjoyed singing with others, even though I didn't have a great voice. Later, the junior high chorus held auditions for the All City Honor Chorus, and I was one of only five girls from my school to audition. Because of this, I made the chorus. After a performance, my English teacher asked if anyone in the chorus wanted to write an article for the school newspaper. For some reason, I raised my hand. I loved reading, but I had never thought about writing before. However, when I saw my name and words in print, I knew I wanted to write more. The next year, I became the editor of the school newspaper. I realized that writing was my true passion. Looking back, I understand that if I hadn't broken my violin and joined the glee club, I might never have discovered my love for writing. Years later, I saw Irene at a reunion. She told me she had become a professional violinist in Australia. I thought, "That could have been me." But Mr. Baumgartner’s decision led me to a different path—one filled with words and stories. I'm grateful for that turn in my life and for Mr. Baumgartner's unexpected guidance. 24. What caused the author to leave the school orchestra? A. She lost interest in playing the violin. B. She wanted to join the glee club instead. C. She damaged her violin and failed to repair it properly. D. Her friend Irene became much better than her. 25. What was the initial result of the author joining the glee club? A. She immediately discovered her talent for singing. B. She was selected for a city-wide honor chorus. C. She decided to become a professional singer. D. She started writing articles for the newspaper. 26. How did the author feel when she first saw her writing published? A. Surprised but indifferent. B. Proud and determined to continue. C. Regretful about her past choices. D. Nervous about others’ opinions. 27. What is the main message the author wants to convey? A. Failure in one area can lead to success in another. B. Strict teachers are essential for student development. C. Childhood friendships can shape our future careers. D. Natural talent is more important than hard work. C Between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa, a 55-mile Comrades Marathon is unfolding with nine medals, each tied to a strict time limit. Hundreds of runners may fall short even after giving their all, yet they remain excited, proud, and eager to return next year. This scene stands as the most authentic reflection of the “paradox (悖论) of effort”. First coined by University of Toronto psychologist Michael Inzlicht, the concept refers to a seemingly contradictory human tendency that we often pursue things not for ease, but precisely because their difficulty draws us in. Inzlicht and his team credit this persistence to two main factors: first, rewards are more valued because of the effort put in; second, effort itself functions as its own reward. When we invest heavily in something without getting equal returns, we tend to convince ourselves that “the result is worth it.” Over time, like Pavlov’s dogs responding to a bell, we gradually relate effort to positive outcomes. A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General in 2025 further uncovered the mystery of the paradox of effort. When considering the future, participants assigned greater value to cash than to mugs (马克杯) that required climbing stairs to obtain, but after actually completing the stair-climbing task, they raised the value of the mugs due to the effort invested. Behind this hides a general principle of timing: future effort takes the shine off the appeal, but past effort gives a brilliance to perceived value. The shift in value perception, however, relies on a critical balance between “within reach” and “out of sight”. While people like something more as it gets more challenging, this appeal fades when it becomes overly difficult. That’s why the marathon has different medals: everyone needs a goal that feels possible with a little extra effort. The paradox of effort never encourages blind suffering; instead, true value often emerges from those “optimal challenges”. Neither should you shy away from toil and trouble, nor should you chase hardship for hardship’s sake. Just as Inzlicht said, “It’s the struggle within the right bounds that fulfills your life and brings lasting happiness.” 28. What does the Comrades Marathon suggest? A. Failure can be a source of pride. B. Strict rules boost participants’ passion. C. Difficulty can be a motivator. D. Physical endurance ensures final success. 29. Which of the following best reflects the factors behind the “paradox of effort”? A. A chef uses pre-made meals for instant profits. B. A researcher abandons project despite potential gains. C. A shopper values self-crafted items over finished ones. D. A student jumps to quick conclusions without thinking. 30. What does the 2025 study show about the “paradox of effort”? A. Future task elevates financial appeal. B. Stair-climbing devalues invested effort. C. Past effort reduces mug’s value. D. Effort shifts perception of its value. 31. What does Inzlicht advise about effort? A. Seek maximum difficulty. B. Bear unnecessary hardship. C. Embrace attainable challenge. D. Pursue effortless happiness. D (新情景)The human capacity for rational (理性的) thinking makes us unique among the animal kingdom, according to wise, old Aristotle. However, a growing body of research suggests that rationality might not be quite as distinctive a human quality as we might have thought. In a recent study, researchers at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda presented chimps (黑猩猩) with two boxes: one with food and one without a snack. They were initially given a clue as to which one had food. The team then provided the chimps with sequential (顺序的) clues of varying strength about which one contained a snack. “When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study. Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. Researchers typically associate this sort of reasoning with children around four years old. “Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. Metacognition is awareness and understanding about our thinking processes. “They not only adjusted their choices, but did so in ways that suggest they tracked the evidential basis of their beliefs; when earlier evidence was defeated, they revised their belief accordingly,” she explains. These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed. “Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. By identifying which aspects of rationality humans share with chimps and which are unique to us, researchers can better recognize which develop early in children, which depend on culture, and which rely on uniquely human forms of social learning. She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively (认知上) stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos. 32. What can be inferred about the chimps’ behavior in the experiment? A. They could ignore strong initial evidence. B. They preferred whichever box looked larger. C. They based decisions on weighing of evidence. D. They chose randomly when clues were unclear. 33. Why did the researchers use computer models in the study? A. To copy the chimps’ learning process. B. To predict which box the chimps would choose. C. To compare the chimps’ behavior with that of kids. D. To confirm the chimps used rational belief revision. 34. What does Schleihauf think of the study findings? A. They are less reliable than expected. B. They show limited progress in this field. C. They fail to explain the chimps’ behavior. D. They reveal impressive abilities in chimps. 35. What does the last paragraph stress about the study? A. Its practical implications. B. Its historical context. C. Its experimental approach. D. Its potential limitations. 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。 Economists have a name for what you must give up while you wait. We call this your opportunity cost. For example, you are always queuing a long time for a concert ticket. ____36____ The advice you can find on the internet for beating the lines at the Sistine Chapel often involves going early, perhaps before the museum opens, to secure a spot toward the front of the line. ____37____ If I arrive an hour before tickets go on sale to be first in line, but the wait would be only forty minutes long if I arrived when the museum opened, I end up waiting longer, not less. Whether arriving early shortens my wait depends on when others choose to arrive, and if all tourists follow the same internet advice and arrive an hour early, the lines at opening may be the longest of the day. It is hard to predict when the wait will actually be the shortest. ____38____ Rather than going when you think the lines might be the shortest, you can go when your opportunity cost is the smallest-for example, when you have nothing (or little) better to do. ____39____ Sometimes, it increases the total amount of time you wait, though. By arriving before opening, you get your waiting out of the way when other activities are not yet open. Sure, you might give up an hour of sleep or the chance to have a leisurely breakfast. This is worthwhile if the planned activities hold greater value for you. ____40____ If you’re first in line at the museum, you can see the chapel and still enjoy a packed day visiting other sites in Rome. A. Only then is queuing up early a good choice. B. Sightseeing joy outweighs breakfast comfort easily. C. But the economist in me is not sure about this advice. D. This is why you are better off considering opportunity cost. E. Opportunity cost awareness improves personal satisfaction later. F. Thinking about opportunity cost can make arriving an hour early seem sensible. G. Your opportunity cost is the enjoyment, work, or wages you give up by waiting. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was fifty-three, the idea of willingly immersing (沉浸) myself in mud was unimaginable.

The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue! Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?” He said, “I don’t want to be a burden(负担), so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.” My heart ached for him. I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next. 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。 I secretly started to save up my pocket money. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高考第二次模拟考试（全国一卷） 高三英语·全解全析 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

M: Oh, it was amazing. Sasha and Will are both culinary school graduates, so you can imagine they really pushed the boat out on the food. W: Did they make it? They own their own restaurant, right? M: No, they didn’t want the stress on their big day, so they let the hotel handle it, but they had a big hand in planning the menu. W: Oh. M: Yeah, instead of a traditional dinner, they set up tables with a huge variety of things — roast duck, seafood, barbecue pork. I’ve never seen so much food. W: That sounds inviting. M: Yeah. My cousins were filling their plates so full, Mum said they did so because they were worried it would run out. W: That’s wasteful.

Today I’m sharing an embarrassing personal experience that taught me one of the most important lessons of my career. My first company was an online marketplace connecting small independent artists and makers with customers. Age twenty-two with my shiny new business degree in hand I thought I knew it all but I had much to learn about people management. I was good at choosing the right people and my small hardworking team moved mountains during those early days. After a successful first year I booked a fancy restaurant to celebrate. As we were leaving I noticed Miss Green our cleaner sweeping the floor. He wished us a great night and I realized I had left him out. I simply hadn’t considered him a part of the team but he was. He kept our workspace clean. He fixed the ancient printer without complaint. We couldn’t do anything without him. So I asked my assistant to contact the restaurant and update our reservation while I apologized and invited Mr. Green to come. To my great relief, he generously accepted telling me to forget it. But I couldn’t and I never want to. As leaders we must realize that those working beneath us form the very foundation of our success. Without them everything falls apart, so do we strengthen that foundation with respect and recognition or weaken it with carelessness. The choice is clear. 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和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A (热点话题)Four Popular AI Assistants for Daily Use In today’s digital world, AI assistants have become essential tools for productivity, learning, and daily life.

In fourth grade, my school had an orchestra program, and I eagerly signed up to learn the violin with my friend Irene. We both loved the idea of being in the orchestra and walked together to our music lessons every week. Our orchestra teacher, Mr. Baumgartner, was strict. He told us that if we damaged our instruments, we'd be kicked out of the program because the school couldn't afford replacements. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at the violin. One day, while practicing, the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke. Scared of Mr. Baumgartner's reaction, I tried to fix it myself with some glue. But when he saw my crooked bridge, he told me I couldn't be in the orchestra anymore. Instead, he suggested I join the glee club. I switched to the glee club and found I enjoyed singing with others, even though I didn't have a great voice. Later, the junior high chorus held auditions for the All City Honor Chorus, and I was one of only five girls from my school to audition. Because of this, I made the chorus. After a performance, my English teacher asked if anyone in the chorus wanted to write an article for the school newspaper. For some reason, I raised my hand. I loved reading, but I had never thought about writing before. However, when I saw my name and words in print, I knew I wanted to write more. The next year, I became the editor of the school newspaper. I realized that writing was my true passion. Looking back, I understand that if I hadn't broken my violin and joined the glee club, I might never have discovered my love for writing. Years later, I saw Irene at a reunion. She told me she had become a professional violinist in Australia. I thought, "That could have been me." But Mr. Baumgartner’s decision led me to a different path—one filled with words and stories. I'm grateful for that turn in my life and for Mr. Baumgartner's unexpected guidance. 24. What caused the author to leave the school orchestra? A. She lost interest in playing the violin. B. She wanted to join the glee club instead. C. She damaged her violin and failed to repair it properly. D. Her friend Irene became much better than her. 25. What was the initial result of the author joining the glee club? A. She immediately discovered her talent for singing. B. She was selected for a city-wide honor chorus. C. She decided to become a professional singer. D. She started writing articles for the newspaper. 26. How did the author feel when she first saw her writing published? A. Surprised but indifferent. B. Proud and determined to continue. C. Regretful about her past choices. D. Nervous about others’ opinions. 27. What is the main message the author wants to convey? A. Failure in one area can lead to success in another. B. Strict teachers are essential for student development. C. Childhood friendships can shape our future careers. D. Natural talent is more important than hard work. 答案：24-27 CCBA 话题：人生转折与自我发现 文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，作者回忆了童年时因不擅长小提琴且意外损坏乐器，被严厉的音乐老师要求离开乐队，转而加入合唱团的经历。这一看似挫折的转变，却连锁反应般地让她通过合唱团获得了为校报写作的机会，最终发现了自己对写作的真正热情。通过多年后与成为小提琴家的朋友的对比，作者感慨并感激这次意外的人生转向。 【解析】 24.细节理解题。根据文章第二段与第三段的描述，“One day, while practicing, the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke.”以及“Scared of Mr. Baumgartner's reaction, I tried to fix it myself with some glue. But when he saw my crooked bridge, he told me I couldn't be in the orchestra anymore.”可知，作者离开学校管弦乐队是因为她损坏了小提琴并且自己未能妥善修复。选项A“她对拉小提琴失去兴趣”文中未提及；选项B“她想加入合唱团”是老师在她被乐队除名后的建议，并非原因；选项D“她的朋友艾琳比她好得多”文中无依据。故选C。 25.细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容，“Later, the junior high chorus held auditions for the All City Honor Chorus, and I was one of only five girls from my school to audition. Because of this, I made the chorus.”可知，作者加入合唱团后，最初的直接成果是她成功入选了“全城荣誉合唱团”。选项A“她立刻发现了歌唱天赋”与原文“even though I didn’t have a great voice”矛盾；选项C“她决定成为一名专业歌手”属于无中生有；选项D“她开始为报纸写文章”是后续事件，并非加入合唱团的“最初”结果。故选B。 26.推理判断题。根据文章第五段最后一句“However, when I saw my name and words in print, I knew I wanted to write more.”可知，当作者第一次看到自己的文字被印刷出来时，她产生了想要继续写作的强烈愿望，这体现了她内心的自豪和坚定。选项A“惊讶但冷漠”与文意相反；选项C“对过去的选择后悔”与全文感恩的基调不符；选项D“担心别人的看法”文中未体现。故选B。 27.主旨大意题。通览全文，作者的核心经历是：在拉小提琴上遭遇失败（损坏乐器、被乐队除名），却因此被迫转向合唱团，并意外地通过合唱团发现了自己对于写作的热爱与才能，最终找到了人生方向。文章结尾的感慨与对比，更是强化了“一个领域的失败可能开启另一领域的成功之门”这一主题。选项A准确地概括了这一人生启示。选项B“严格的老师对学生发展至关重要”只是故事中的一个元素，并非核心主旨；选项C“童年友谊塑造未来职业”夸大了朋友的作用；选项D“天赋比努力更重要”并非作者想传达的信息。故选A。 C Between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa, a 55-mile Comrades Marathon is unfolding with nine medals, each tied to a strict time limit. Hundreds of runners may fall short even after giving their all, yet they remain excited, proud, and eager to return next year. This scene stands as the most authentic reflection of the “paradox (悖论) of effort”. First coined by University of Toronto psychologist Michael Inzlicht, the concept refers to a seemingly contradictory human tendency that we often pursue things not for ease, but precisely because their difficulty draws us in. Inzlicht and his team credit this persistence to two main factors: first, rewards are more valued because of the effort put in; second, effort itself functions as its own reward. When we invest heavily in something without getting equal returns, we tend to convince ourselves that “the result is worth it.” Over time, like Pavlov’s dogs responding to a bell, we gradually relate effort to positive outcomes. A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General in 2025 further uncovered the mystery of the paradox of effort. When considering the future, participants assigned greater value to cash than to mugs (马克杯) that required climbing stairs to obtain, but after actually completing the stair-climbing task, they raised the value of the mugs due to the effort invested. Behind this hides a general principle of timing: future effort takes the shine off the appeal, but past effort gives a brilliance to perceived value. The shift in value perception, however, relies on a critical balance between “within reach” and “out of sight”. While people like something more as it gets more challenging, this appeal fades when it becomes overly difficult. That’s why the marathon has different medals: everyone needs a goal that feels possible with a little extra effort. The paradox of effort never encourages blind suffering; instead, true value often emerges from those “optimal challenges”. Neither should you shy away from toil and trouble, nor should you chase hardship for hardship’s sake. Just as Inzlicht said, “It’s the struggle within the right bounds that fulfills your life and brings lasting happiness.” 28. What does the Comrades Marathon suggest? A. Failure can be a source of pride. B. Strict rules boost participants’ passion. C. Difficulty can be a motivator. D. Physical endurance ensures final success. 29. Which of the following best reflects the factors behind the “paradox of effort”? A. A chef uses pre-made meals for instant profits. B. A researcher abandons project despite potential gains. C. A shopper values self-crafted items over finished ones. D. A student jumps to quick conclusions without thinking. 30. What does the 2025 study show about the “paradox of effort”? A. Future task elevates financial appeal. B. Stair-climbing devalues invested effort. C. Past effort reduces mug’s value. D. Effort shifts perception of its value. 31. What does Inzlicht advise about effort? A. Seek maximum difficulty. B. Bear unnecessary hardship. C. Embrace attainable challenge. D. Pursue effortless happiness. 答案：28-31 CCDC 话题：动机心理学视角下的“努力悖论” 文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。主要阐释“努力悖论”的概念、成因及相关研究，点明适度挑战才能带来持久价值。 【解析】 28.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Hundreds of runners may fall short even after giving their all, yet they remain excited, proud, and eager to return next year. (数以百计的跑步者即便拼尽全力仍未达标，却依旧兴奋、自豪，渴望来年再战)”以及第二段中对“努力悖论”的定义“we often pursue things not for ease, but precisely because their difficulty draws us in (我们追求事物往往不是为了安逸，而是恰恰因其难度而被吸引)”可知，马拉松的例子表明困难可以成为一种驱动力。故选C项。 29.推理判断题。根据第三段“Inzlicht and his team credit this persistence to two main factors: first, rewards are more valued because of the effort put in; second, effort itself functions as its own reward.(因兹利希及其研究团队将这种坚持不懈的精神归因于两大主要因素：其一，因付出了努力，回报会被赋予更高的价值；其二，努力本身就是一种回报)”可知，“努力悖论”的两个核心因素：一是付出的努力会让回报更有价值；二是努力本身就是一种回报。选项C“购物者更看重手工制作的物品而非成品”，体现了因为投入了劳动（努力），所以物品的价值在购物者心中被提升，符合“努力悖论”的内涵。故选C项。 30.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When considering the future, participants assigned greater value to cash than to mugs (马克杯) that required climbing stairs to obtain, but after actually completing the stair-climbing task, they raised the value of the mugs due to the effort invested. (在展望未来时，参与者更看重现金，而非需要爬楼梯才能获得的马克杯；但在完成爬楼梯任务后，由于投入了努力，他们提升了马克杯的价值)”可知，2025年的研究表明努力会改变人们对事物价值的认知。故选D项。 31.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“true value often emerges from those “optimal challenges” (真正的价值往往源于那些“适度的挑战”)”以及Inzlicht所说“It’s the struggle within the right bounds that fulfills your life and brings lasting happiness (在合理范围内的拼搏，才能充实人生、带来持久的幸福感)”可知，因兹利希建议人们拥抱可实现的挑战。故选C项。 D (新情景)The human capacity for rational (理性的) thinking makes us unique among the animal kingdom, according to wise, old Aristotle. However, a growing body of research suggests that rationality might not be quite as distinctive a human quality as we might have thought. In a recent study, researchers at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda presented chimps (黑猩猩) with two boxes: one with food and one without a snack. They were initially given a clue as to which one had food. The team then provided the chimps with sequential (顺序的) clues of varying strength about which one contained a snack. “When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study. Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. Researchers typically associate this sort of reasoning with children around four years old. “Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. Metacognition is awareness and understanding about our thinking processes. “They not only adjusted their choices, but did so in ways that suggest they tracked the evidential basis of their beliefs; when earlier evidence was defeated, they revised their belief accordingly,” she explains. These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed. “Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. By identifying which aspects of rationality humans share with chimps and which are unique to us, researchers can better recognize which develop early in children, which depend on culture, and which rely on uniquely human forms of social learning. She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively (认知上) stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos. 32. What can be inferred about the chimps’ behavior in the experiment? A. They could ignore strong initial evidence. B. They preferred whichever box looked larger. C. They based decisions on weighing of evidence. D. They chose randomly when clues were unclear. 33. Why did the researchers use computer models in the study? A. To copy the chimps’ learning process. B. To predict which box the chimps would choose. C. To compare the chimps’ behavior with that of kids. D. To confirm the chimps used rational belief revision. 34. What does Schleihauf think of the study findings? A. They are less reliable than expected. B. They show limited progress in this field. C. They fail to explain the chimps’ behavior. D. They reveal impressive abilities in chimps. 35. What does the last paragraph stress about the study? A. Its practical implications. B. Its historical context. C. Its experimental approach. D. Its potential limitations. 答案：32-35 CDDA 话题：对黑猩猩“理性信念修正”能力的再发现 文章大意：这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于黑猩猩认知能力的研究，挑战了人类理性思维独特性的传统观点，并探讨了该研究在理解人类推理进化以及动物保护方面的意义。 【解析】 32.推理判断题。根据文章第三段““When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study. (该研究的合著者汉娜·施莱豪夫（Hanna Schleihauf）说道，“当初始证据足够有力时，黑猩猩会坚持它们最初的选择；而当新证据明显优于最初证据时，它们会改变自己的选择。”)”可知，黑猩猩的选择行为会根据新旧证据的强弱进行权衡后做出决策。故选C项。 33.细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. (她的团队还结合了计算机模型，以证明黑猩猩的反应与理性的信念修正策略相符，确保它们进行的是真正的推理，而不仅仅是偏信最近的证据。)”可知，研究者使用计算机模型是为了验证并确认黑猩猩的行为确实符合理性信念修正的模式。故选D项。 34.推理判断题。根据文章第五段第一句““Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. (施莱豪夫（Schleihauf）进一步说道，“最引人注目的是，黑猩猩还表现出对证据的元认知敏感性。”)”以及最后一句“These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed. (这些发现表明，黑猩猩的推理能力比我们之前认为的更接近我们。)”可以推知，施莱豪夫（Schleihauf）认为研究结果揭示了黑猩猩令人印象深刻的高层次认知能力。故选D项。 35.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句““Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. (施莱豪夫（Schleihauf）说，“在黑猩猩身上证明理性信念修正，为理解人类推理的进化提供了一个强有力的比较基线。”)”以及最后一句“She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos. (她补充说，这项研究对动物保护和福利很重要，因为它进一步证明了保护黑猩猩的合理性，提高了研究和保护中的道德标准，并呼吁在保护区和动物园创造更多能激发认知的环境。)”可知，该段落着重强调了这项研究在理解人类自身以及动物保护实践方面的实际意义和价值。故选A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。 Economists have a name for what you must give up while you wait. We call this your opportunity cost. For example, you are always queuing a long time for a concert ticket. ____36____ The advice you can find on the internet for beating the lines at the Sistine Chapel often involves going early, perhaps before the museum opens, to secure a spot toward the front of the line. ____37____ If I arrive an hour before tickets go on sale to be first in line, but the wait would be only forty minutes long if I arrived when the museum opened, I end up waiting longer, not less. Whether arriving early shortens my wait depends on when others choose to arrive, and if all tourists follow the same internet advice and arrive an hour early, the lines at opening may be the longest of the day. It is hard to predict when the wait will actually be the shortest. ____38____ Rather than going when you think the lines might be the shortest, you can go when your opportunity cost is the smallest-for example, when you have nothing (or little) better to do. ____39____ Sometimes, it increases the total amount of time you wait, though. By arriving before opening, you get your waiting out of the way when other activities are not yet open. Sure, you might give up an hour of sleep or the chance to have a leisurely breakfast. This is worthwhile if the planned activities hold greater value for you. ____40____ If you’re first in line at the museum, you can see the chapel and still enjoy a packed day visiting other sites in Rome. A. Only then is queuing up early a good choice. B. Sightseeing joy outweighs breakfast comfort easily. C. But the economist in me is not sure about this advice. D. This is why you are better off considering opportunity cost. E. Opportunity cost awareness improves personal satisfaction later. F. Thinking about opportunity cost can make arriving an hour early seem sensible. G. Your opportunity cost is the enjoyment, work, or wages you give up by waiting. 答案：36-40 GCDFA 话题：机会成本思维在日常生活决策（如排队）中的应用与权衡 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了经济学中“机会成本”的概念，并通过排队等待的例子说明如何根据机会成本来做出更合理的决策，以最小化等待的总时间。 【解析】 36.根据上文“Economists have a name for what you must give up while you wait. We call this your opportunity cost. For example, you are always queuing a long time for a concert ticket.(经济学家对你在等待时必须放弃的东西有一个名称。我们称之为机会成本。例如，你总是要排很长时间的队才能买到音乐会门票。)”可知，前文先定义了机会成本，再用排队买票举例，空处需要具体解释这个例子里的机会成本是什么。G选项(你的机会成本就是你因等待而放弃的乐趣、工作或薪水)承接上文的例子，具体阐释机会成本的内涵，符合语境。故选G项。 37.根据上文“The advice you can find on the internet for beating the lines at the Sistine Chapel often involves going early, perhaps before the museum opens, to secure a spot toward the front of the line.(网上关于如何在西斯廷教堂避免排长队的建议通常是早点去，或许在博物馆开门前就去，以确保排在队伍前面。)”以及下文“If I arrive an hour before tickets go on sale to be first in line, but the wait would be only forty minutes long if I arrived when the museum opened, I end up waiting longer, not less.(如果我在售票前一小时到达以排在第一位，但如果我在博物馆开门时到达，只需要等四十分钟，那我最终等待的时间反而更长了。)”可知，空处需要表达对网上这条建议的质疑。C选项(但我骨子里的经济学家思维让我对这条建议存疑)承接上文的建议，引出下文对该建议不合理性的分析，符合语境。故选C项。 38.根据上文“It is hard to predict when the wait will actually be the shortest.(很难预测什么时候排队的时间真的最短。)”以及下文“Rather than going when you think the lines might be the shortest, you can go when your opportunity cost is the smallest-for example, when you have nothing (or little) better to do.(与其在你认为队伍最短的时候去，不如在你的机会成本最小的时候去，例如，当你没有（或很少有）更好的事情要做的时候。)”可知，空处需要引出“考虑机会成本”这个解决办法。D选项(这就是为什么你最好考虑机会成本)承接上文“难以预测排队最短时间”的问题，引出下文的解决策略，符合语境。故选D项。 39.根据下文“Sometimes, it increases the total amount of time you wait, though.(不过，有时这会增加你等待的总时长。)”可知，空处内容与下文构成转折关系，应该先说明考虑机会成本的好处。F选项(考虑机会成本会让提前一小时到达的做法显得合理)先肯定考虑机会成本的积极作用，再用下文的“though”转折，指出其可能存在的问题，符合语境。故选F项。 40.根据上文“This is worthwhile if the planned activities hold greater value for you.(如果计划的活动对你来说有更大的价值，那么这就是值得的。)”以及下文“If you’re first in line at the museum, you can see the chapel and still enjoy a packed day visiting other sites in Rome.(如果你排在博物馆的第一位，你就能参观教堂，还能在罗马充实游览其他景点。)”可知，空处需要表达“提前排队是好选择”的结论。A选项(只有在这种情况下，提前排队才是个好选择)承接上文“活动有更大价值就值得”的观点，引出下文的具体例子，符合语境。故选A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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was fifty-three, the idea of willingly immersing (沉浸) myself in mud was unimaginable.

I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue! Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?” He said, “I don’t want to be a burden(负担), so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.” My heart ached for him. I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next. 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。 I secretly started to save up my pocket money. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高分范文 I secretly started to save up my pocket money. I spent less on my school lunch and I didn’t buy any snacks. I even took on a small part-time job to earn extra cash. On weekends, when I usually went out with my friends having fun, I helped my neighbours look after their kids. I put the money they gave me in my piggy bank. Every day, I would take out the money and count it. Day by day, the amount grew larger and it was enough for a gift. And my brother’s birthday was drawing near. On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. When he opened the box, his eyes widened in surprise and joy. He took the shoes, examining them carefully, and said, “I didn’t expect this. You’re the best sister ever!” I hugged him tightly, feeling warmth spreading all over. “You’re the best brother of mine. I’m just returning the kindness you’ve given me.” I replied. Our bond has grown stronger ever since. The shoes became a symbol of our love and support, a reminder that no matter what challenges we faced, we could count on each other to overcome them. 文章大意：本文以雨天哥哥送伞为线索展开，讲述了作者发现哥哥为了不给家里增添负担，一直穿着破旧的足球鞋，从而决定悄悄攒钱为哥哥买新鞋的故事。 【解析】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我悄悄地开始节省自己的零花钱”可知，第一段可描写作者为了攒钱而做出的具体牺牲和努力，比如减少零花钱开销、做兼职，以及看着钱一点点变多的期待心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他生日那天，我送给他一个装饰精美的盒子”可知，第二段可描写哥哥收到礼物时的惊喜反应，以及兄妹二人情感的升华，点明鞋子成为他们爱与支持的象征。 2. 续写线索：悄悄攒钱——生日送鞋——哥哥惊喜感动——兄妹情感升温——鞋子成为爱的象征 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①攒钱：save up/ put aside ②拥抱：hug/ embrace ③依靠：count on/ rely on/ depend on 情绪类 ①惊喜：surprise/ amazement ②温暖：warmth/ affection/ tenderness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I hugged him tightly, feeling warmth spreading all over.

B (原创)If I hadn't been a struggling violinist, I might have never become a writer. In fourth grade, my school had an orchestra program, and I eagerly signed up to learn the violin with my friend Irene. We both loved the idea of being in the orchestra and walked together to our music lessons every week. Our orchestra teacher, Mr. Baumgartner, was strict. He told us that if we damaged our instruments, we'd be kicked out of the program because the school couldn't afford replacements. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at the violin. One day, while practicing, the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke. Scared of Mr. Baumgartner's reaction, I tried to fix it myself with some glue. But when he saw my crooked bridge, he told me I couldn't be in the orchestra anymore. Instead, he suggested I join the glee club. I switched to the glee club and found I enjoyed singing with others, even though I didn't have a great voice. Later, the junior high chorus held auditions for the All City Honor Chorus, and I was one of only five girls from my school to audition. Because of this, I made the chorus. After a performance, my English teacher asked if anyone in the chorus wanted to write an article for the school newspaper. For some reason, I raised my hand. I loved reading, but I had never thought about writing before. However, when I saw my name and words in print, I knew I wanted to write more. The next year, I became the editor of the school newspaper. I realized that writing was my true passion. Looking back, I understand that if I hadn't broken my violin and joined the glee club, I might never have discovered my love for writing. Years later, I saw Irene at a reunion. She told me she had become a professional violinist in Australia. I thought, "That could have been me." But Mr. Baumgartner’s decision led me to a different path—one filled with words and stories. I'm grateful for that turn in my life and for Mr. Baumgartner's unexpected guidance. 24. What caused the author to leave the school orchestra? A. She lost interest in playing the violin. B. She wanted to join the glee club instead. C. She damaged her violin and failed to repair it properly. D. Her friend Irene became much better than her. 25. What was the initial result of the author joining the glee club? A. She immediately discovered her talent for singing. B. She was selected for a city-wide honor chorus. C. She decided to become a professional singer. D. She started writing articles for the newspaper. 26. How did the author feel when she first saw her writing published? A. Surprised but indifferent. B. Proud and determined to continue. C. Regretful about her past choices. D. Nervous about others’ opinions. 27. What is the main message the author wants to convey? A. Failure in one area can lead to success in another. B. Strict teachers are essential for student development. C. Childhood friendships can shape our future careers. D. Natural talent is more important than hard work. C Between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa, a 55-mile Comrades Marathon is unfolding with nine medals, each tied to a strict time limit. Hundreds of runners may fall short even after giving their all, yet they remain excited, proud, and eager to return next year. This scene stands as the most authentic reflection of the “paradox (悖论) of effort”. First coined by University of Toronto psychologist Michael Inzlicht, the concept refers to a seemingly contradictory human tendency that we often pursue things not for ease, but precisely because their difficulty draws us in. Inzlicht and his team credit this persistence to two main factors: first, rewards are more valued because of the effort put in; second, effort itself functions as its own reward. When we invest heavily in something without getting equal returns, we tend to convince ourselves that “the result is worth it.” Over time, like Pavlov’s dogs responding to a bell, we gradually relate effort to positive outcomes. A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General in 2025 further uncovered the mystery of the paradox of effort. When considering the future, participants assigned greater value to cash than to mugs (马克杯) that required climbing stairs to obtain, but after actually completing the stair-climbing task, they raised the value of the mugs due to the effort invested. Behind this hides a general principle of timing: future effort takes the shine off the appeal, but past effort gives a brilliance to perceived value. The shift in value perception, however, relies on a critical balance between “within reach” and “out of sight”. While people like something more as it gets more challenging, this appeal fades when it becomes overly difficult. That’s why the marathon has different medals: everyone needs a goal that feels possible with a little extra effort. The paradox of effort never encourages blind suffering; instead, true value often emerges from those “optimal challenges”. Neither should you shy away from toil and trouble, nor should you chase hardship for hardship’s sake. Just as Inzlicht said, “It’s the struggle within the right bounds that fulfills your life and brings lasting happiness.” 28. What does the Comrades Marathon suggest? A. Failure can be a source of pride. B. Strict rules boost participants’ passion. C. Difficulty can be a motivator. D. Physical endurance ensures final success. 29. Which of the following best reflects the factors behind the “paradox of effort”? A. A chef uses pre-made meals for instant profits. B. A researcher abandons project despite potential gains. C. A shopper values self-crafted items over finished ones. D. A student jumps to quick conclusions without thinking. 30. What does the 2025 study show about the “paradox of effort”? A. Future task elevates financial appeal. B. Stair-climbing devalues invested effort. C. Past effort reduces mug’s value. D. Effort shifts perception of its value. 31. What does Inzlicht advise about effort? A. Seek maximum difficulty. B. Bear unnecessary hardship. C. Embrace attainable challenge. D. Pursue effortless happiness. D (新情景)The human capacity for rational (理性的) thinking makes us unique among the animal kingdom, according to wise, old Aristotle. However, a growing body of research suggests that rationality might not be quite as distinctive a human quality as we might have thought. In a recent study, researchers at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda presented chimps (黑猩猩) with two boxes: one with food and one without a snack. They were initially given a clue as to which one had food. The team then provided the chimps with sequential (顺序的) clues of varying strength about which one contained a snack. “When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study. Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. Researchers typically associate this sort of reasoning with children around four years old. “Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. Metacognition is awareness and understanding about our thinking processes. “They not only adjusted their choices, but did so in ways that suggest they tracked the evidential basis of their beliefs; when earlier evidence was defeated, they revised their belief accordingly,” she explains. These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed. “Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. By identifying which aspects of rationality humans share with chimps and which are unique to us, researchers can better recognize which develop early in children, which depend on culture, and which rely on uniquely human forms of social learning. She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively (认知上) stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos. 32. What can be inferred about the chimps’ behavior in the experiment? A. They could ignore strong initial evidence. B. They preferred whichever box looked larger. C. They based decisions on weighing of evidence. D. They chose randomly when clues were unclear. 33. Why did the researchers use computer models in the study? A. To copy the chimps’ learning process. B. To predict which box the chimps would choose. C. To compare the chimps’ behavior with that of kids. D. To confirm the chimps used rational belief revision. 34. What does Schleihauf think of the study findings? A. They are less reliable than expected. B. They show limited progress in this field. C. They fail to explain the chimps’ behavior. D. They reveal impressive abilities in chimps. 35. What does the last paragraph stress about the study? A. Its practical implications. B. Its historical context. C. Its experimental approach. D. Its potential limitations. 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。 Economists have a name for what you must give up while you wait. We call this your opportunity cost. For example, you are always queuing a long time for a concert ticket. ____36____ The advice you can find on the internet for beating the lines at the Sistine Chapel often involves going early, perhaps before the museum opens, to secure a spot toward the front of the line. ____37____ If I arrive an hour before tickets go on sale to be first in line, but the wait would be only forty minutes long if I arrived when the museum opened, I end up waiting longer, not less. Whether arriving early shortens my wait depends on when others choose to arrive, and if all tourists follow the same internet advice and arrive an hour early, the lines at opening may be the longest of the day. It is hard to predict when the wait will actually be the shortest. ____38____ Rather than going when you think the lines might be the shortest, you can go when your opportunity cost is the smallest-for example, when you have nothing (or little) better to do. ____39____ Sometimes, it increases the total amount of time you wait, though. By arriving before opening, you get your waiting out of the way when other activities are not yet open. Sure, you might give up an hour of sleep or the chance to have a leisurely breakfast. This is worthwhile if the planned activities hold greater value for you. ____40____ If you’re first in line at the museum, you can see the chapel and still enjoy a packed day visiting other sites in Rome. A. Only then is queuing up early a good choice. B. Sightseeing joy outweighs breakfast comfort easily. C. But the economist in me is not sure about this advice. D. This is why you are better off considering opportunity cost. E. Opportunity cost awareness improves personal satisfaction later. F. Thinking about opportunity cost can make arriving an hour early seem sensible. G. Your opportunity cost is the enjoyment, work, or wages you give up by waiting. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was fifty-three, the idea of willingly immersing (沉浸) myself in mud was unimaginable. However, a ____41____ I joined in six months earlier changed my perspective.

She asked if anyone wanted to join her team. Seeing nobody ____44____, she singled me out, ____45____ asking if I was going to sign up. “I’ll check my calendar,” I said. She seemed to ____46____ me too well and replied, “You don’t have anything on your calendar six months from now. And... Didn’t you just tell me you were working on a book about ____47____ your comfort zone and saying ‘yes’ to new opportunities?” Cornered by her ____48____, I agreed. To mentally ____49____, I watched online videos of the event, learning the ____50____ of seventeen mud-based obstacles, including mud pits, steep (陡峭的) hills, and sandbags to carry. On the day of the race, despite my nerves, I couldn’t help but feel the ____51____ of being a part of a group of women in pink shirt and crazy wigs (假发). People were so ____52____, and there were many other costumes representing particular groups. Hearing the announcements from the loudspeaker about start time, I ____53____ to conquer each obstacle.

This fall, the 21-year-old entered Henan Chemical Technician College’s EM program, despite already ____57____ (hold) a bachelor’s degree in animation production. “It’s my own decision,” Yufan said. “I want to master a skill that will still matter in the future.” His choice reflects a broader trend among Chinese youth. With ____58____ (uncertain) in the cultural and creative industries and job prospects being reshaped by AI, many ____59____ (turn) to practical, hands-on skills.

The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue! Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?” He said, “I don’t want to be a burden(负担), so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.” My heart ached for him. I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next. 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。 I secretly started to save up my pocket money. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第5页（共10页） 试题 第6页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
