In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted thousands of brightly colored scarves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates.
In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days.
Initially distributed to friends, the scarves were later contributed to children’s shelters across Greece as the stock expanded. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 went to a refugee camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency.
Her daughter, Angeliki, narrates drawings and mails her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night.
She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.”
4. What did the scarves begin as?
A. Presents to acquaintances. B. Initiatives for fundraising.
C. Donation to a refugee camp. D. Stock for children’s shelters.
5. What can be inferred about Matsouka from paragraph 4?
A. She yields to her severely impaired vision.
B. She wakes up every morning due to facial pain.
C. She continues knitting despite her health challenges.
D. She is only rewarded with drawings from her daughter.
6. Which of the following words fail to describe Matsouka?
A. Resilient and reserved. B. Optimistic and generous.
C. Persevering and passionate. D. Responsible and sympathetic.
7. What message does the article mainly convey?
A. The eye is bigger than the belly. B. Giving is better than accepting.
C. An early bird catches the worm. D. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
11. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
D
In an air-conditioned office, you may see men with sporting shorts while their female co-workers wear jackets to keep warm. Why do women feel cold more easily than men?
The accepted answer is that men and women feel temperature differently. Our bodies produce heat through metabolism (新陈代谢) . One of the key factors of the metabolic rate is our muscles (肌肉) . Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women. Yes, women and men have physical differences. But why is it women, in most cases, who feel more uncomfortable in a room set to a “comfortable” temperature? The answer lies in the data bias (数据偏见) behind the model of temperature setting in buildings.
In a 2020 article in the journal Nature, Boris Kingma, a human thermal (热量的) performance researcher in the Netherlands, pointed out that most office buildings set the temperature in light of a model based on men’s metabolic rate. Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called “bias in thermal comfort”.
This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males. Women, who form half of the world’s population, seem to be ignored in these cases.
12. Why don’t men feel cold as easily as women, according to the text?
A Men have a higher metabolic rate. B. Men exercise more to produce heat.
C. Men have more fat to keep warm. D. Men burn off less energy when moving.
13. What does Kingma think of the data bias behind the model of temperature setting?
A. Positive. B. Acceptable. C. Unfair. D. Reasonable.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly concentrate on?
A Arguments about the data bias. B. Comments on the data bias.
C. Reasons for human’s data bias. D. Examples of the data bias.
15. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To show men and women feel temperature differently.
B. To compare men and women’s feelings.
C. To bring the data bias on women into focus.
D. To reset the temperature of air conditioner.

They say eyes are the windows to the soul. Yet behind the “windowpane” of my left eye, there was a leak (裂缝) that caused nearly unbearable pain. I was diagnosed (诊断) with Coats’ disease at 8.
My life was spent by pain and worsening vision. Despite taking medicine and undergoing three surgeries (手术) , nothing improved. Eventually, my diseased eye had to be removed.
I was excited to get rid of it since that meant I could get a normal-looking prosthetic eye (义眼) and I would be free of pain. But actually, I hated the way my eye looked almost more than the pain it gave me. I just wanted to be normal and fit in. I was sick of all the stares and questions.
At 18, my eye removal surgery finally took place. The recovery was hard. My eyelid was swollen for a whole week. Yet once the swelling (肿胀) had gone down and the healing was done. No more pain.
However, walking around without an eye was strange, and a new kind of pain appeared—a realization that I would never be like everyone else. To deal with this, I turned pain into humor and art. I wore eye patches (眼罩) , styled my hair over the empty space, called myself “emo”, and made jokes.
Within a month, I visited a prosthetic eye expert. She made me an eye that looked exactly like my other eye. This experience was liberating (令人自在的) , and the shame of being different began to disappear.
When the new eye was put in place, I joyfully took countless selfies (自拍) . I felt like the window to my soul had been fixed. I had another eye made that has a butterfly where the pupil (瞳孔) sit. I feel like I’ve turned my suffering into art. It has become self-expression. I wear my butterfly eye for special occasions to make me stand out.
I’ve come to realize that standing out is not a bad thing. I turned my pain into freedom. I’m learning to accept who I am — the one-eyed girl. The window to my soul isn’t broken; it’s just custom-made (定制的) .

In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted thousands of brightly colored scarves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates.
In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days.
Initially distributed to friends, the scarves were later contributed to children’s shelters across Greece as the stock expanded. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 went to a refugee camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency.
Her daughter, Angeliki, narrates drawings and mails her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night.
She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.”

For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
11. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇指出晕车问题会破坏旅途体验这一常见现象,接着介绍了晕车产生原因,随后重点阐述了苹果公司针对晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能,包括其工作原理以及早期反馈显示的有效性等内容,整体都是围绕苹果公司推出的新设计来帮助人们告别晕车展开的。选项D“Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design(告别晕车:苹果推出其新设计)”与此相符。故选D。
D
In an air-conditioned office, you may see men with sporting shorts while their female co-workers wear jackets to keep warm. Why do women feel cold more easily than men?
The accepted answer is that men and women feel temperature differently. Our bodies produce heat through metabolism (新陈代谢) . One of the key factors of the metabolic rate is our muscles (肌肉) . Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women. Yes, women and men have physical differences. But why is it women, in most cases, who feel more uncomfortable in a room set to a “comfortable” temperature? The answer lies in the data bias (数据偏见) behind the model of temperature setting in buildings.
In a 2020 article in the journal Nature, Boris Kingma, a human thermal (热量的) performance researcher in the Netherlands, pointed out that most office buildings set the temperature in light of a model based on men’s metabolic rate. Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called “bias in thermal comfort”.
This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males. Women, who form half of the world’s population, seem to be ignored in these cases.
12. Why don’t men feel cold as easily as women, according to the text?
A. Men have a higher metabolic rate. B. Men exercise more to produce heat.
C. Men have more fat to keep warm. D. Men burn off less energy when moving.
13. What does Kingma think of the data bias behind the model of temperature setting?
A. Positive. B. Acceptable. C. Unfair. D. Reasonable.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly concentrate on?
A. Arguments about the data bias. B. Comments on the data bias.
C. Reasons for human’s data bias. D. Examples of the data bias.
15. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To show men and women feel temperature differently.
B. To compare men and women’s feelings.
C. To bring the data bias on women into focus.
D. To reset the temperature of air conditioner.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了女性比男性更容易感到寒冷的原因,揭示了建筑温度设定模型背后的数据偏见,并强调了考虑性别差异的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women.(一般来说,男性的肌肉比女性多,导致新陈代谢率更高。这意味着会产生更多的热量。因此,平均来说,男性不像女性那样容易感到寒冷)”可知,男性不像女性那样容易感到寒冷是因为男性的新陈代谢率更高。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called ‘bias in thermal comfort’.(在建立模型时没有考虑女性数据。换句话说,办公楼里的舒适温度主要适合男性,而不是女性。在他的文章中,Kingma呼吁结束这种所谓的‘热舒适偏见’)”可推测出,Kingma认为温度设定模型背后的数据偏见是不公平的。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design.(这只是数据偏见的一个例子。在她的书中,Caroline Perez给出了更多例子,说明女性在科学技术研究和设计的数据收集中被忽视)”可知,第四段主要集中在数据偏见的例子上。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讨论了女性比男性更容易感到寒冷的原因,揭示了建筑温度设定模型背后的数据偏见,强调了考虑性别差异的重要性,由此可知,作者写这篇文章是为了将针对女性的数据偏见纳入关注焦点。故选C。

【答案】36. located 37. sits 38. various 39. a 40. to set 41. smoothly
42 operation 43. in/with 44. and 45. walks
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了巴黎中国文化中心。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词作状语。分析可知句子的谓语动词为sit, locate在句中为非谓语。根据句意,这里表达的是“位于……”使用的是be located in这个词组,在原短语中located为过去分词,所以这里也要用其过去分词形式在句中做状语。要注意的是,这里的过去分词不是表示被动关系,而是表示一种状态。故填located。
【37题详解】
考查主谓一致。分析可知sit在句中做谓语,主语是The Chinese Culture Center,主语为单数,谓语动词也要用单数。全文为一般现在时。故填sits。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。空格处修饰名词词组historical stages应该用形容词,故填various。
【39题详解】
考查不定冠词。名词civilization表示“社会文明”是可数的,应该由冠词修饰。根据句意,这里泛指“一个在东方持续了几千年的社会文明”,lasting为辅音开头,应该由不定冠词a修饰,故填a。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。分析句子可知,it在句中做形式主语,真正的主语是 (set) the Chinese Cultural Center in this exact place这一部分,所以这里用不定式做主语,故填to set。
【41题详解】
考查副词。修饰动词select应该用副词,故填smoothly。
【42题详解】
考查名词。空格处做介词into的宾语应该填一个名词,故填operation。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国驻法国大使吴建民激动地说:“我们终于在巴黎有了自己的文化中心,我们终于实现了我的前任,也就是中国大使馆前任大使的夙愿。”分析可知空格处+名词excitement修饰动词said,根据介词加抽象名词等于副词这一语法规则可知空格处要填介词。in excitement 和with excitement 都可以表达“激动地,兴奋地”的意思,故填in/with。
【44题详解】
考查连词。根据前文We have our own cultural center in Paris at last,可知最终我们在巴黎有了自己的文化中心,根据后文we have eventually realized the long cherished wish of my predecessor(前任) in the Chinese embassy.可知我们最后实现了中国大使馆的前任大使的长久以来的愿望。前后文为并列关系,应该用and连接前后两个句子,故填and。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:巴黎中国文化中心首任主任侯湘华表示,该中心将坚持其“非政府”性质,除了服务于主流社会外,也欢迎各界人士。from all walks of life为固定搭配,意为“各行各业的人,各界”符合句意,walk在这个词组中是复数形式,故填walks。
【点睛】介词+名词=该名词副词形式,比如by coincidence=coincidently ,in surprise=surprisingly。第8小题中,分析可知空格处+名词excitement修饰动词said,根据介词加抽象名词等于副词这一语法规则可知空格处要填介词。in excitement 和with excitement 都可以表达“激动地,兴奋地”的意思,故填in/with。
第四部分 任务型阅读 (共两节,满分20分)
任务型阅读
They say eyes are the windows to the soul. Yet behind the “windowpane” of my left eye, there was a leak (裂缝) that caused nearly unbearable pain. I was diagnosed (诊断) with Coats’ disease at 8.
My life was spent by pain and worsening vision. Despite taking medicine and undergoing three surgeries (手术) , nothing improved. Eventually, my diseased eye had to be removed.
I was excited to get rid of it since that meant I could get a normal-looking prosthetic eye (义眼) and I would be free of pain. But actually, I hated the way my eye looked almost more than the pain it gave me. I just wanted to be normal and fit in. I was sick of all the stares and questions.
At 18, my eye removal surgery finally took place. The recovery was hard. My eyelid was swollen for a whole week. Yet once the swelling (肿胀) had gone down and the healing was done. No more pain.
However, walking around without an eye was strange, and a new kind of pain appeared—a realization that I would never be like everyone else. To deal with this, I turned pain into humor and art. I wore eye patches (眼罩) , styled my hair over the empty space, called myself “emo”, and made jokes.
Within a month, I visited a prosthetic eye expert. She made me an eye that looked exactly like my other eye. This experience was liberating (令人自在的) , and the shame of being different began to disappear.
When the new eye was put in place, I joyfully took countless selfies (自拍) . I felt like the window to my soul had been fixed. I had another eye made that has a butterfly where the pupil (瞳孔) sit. I feel like I’ve turned my suffering into art. It has become self-expression. I wear my butterfly eye for special occasions to make me stand out.
I’ve come to realize that standing out is not a bad thing. I turned my pain into freedom. I’m learning to accept who I am — the one-eyed girl. The window to my soul isn’t broken; it’s just custom-made (定制的) .
