M: This teahouse is quiet. Here’s your tea. I know you’re good at writing papers. I would appreciate it if you could take a look at my paper.
W: No problem. Give me some time...All right. In general, the points in your paper are very original and the grammar is correctly used. However, I think there are some useless sentences in the body part, which make your paper too long.
M: Thanks a lot. I’ll revise it according to what you said.
W: You’re welcome. When do you have to hand it in?

M: I know you’re a staff member working here. Would you please tell me how much I should pay to learn playing golf?
W: Actually, we are starting a new work exchange program. If you work as a caddie, you get free classes.
M: Sounds good, but what’s a caddie? I mean, I’m okay with hard work and free classes, but I always thought a caddie was a type of car.
W: You’re thinking of Cadillac cars that are sometimes called caddies. In fact, a caddie in the golf world is a person who carries a player’s equipment while the player is playing and offers help according to the rules.
M: I see. My summer vacation will begin next week and I need something to do. My mom says that she doesn’t want me to be home watching television for three months. And there are many golf words that I don’t know. It will be hard to understand these golf words unless I play the game.
W: That’s right. I used to watch the players at the golf course near my house. Every weekend, they saw me there until one day they finally offered me free lessons. And here I am today, teaching others!

W: Today, I’d like to share with you a bit about the National Art Museum of China. The National Art Museum of China is located in Beijing. It focuses mainly on researching, collecting, and displaying the works of China’s modern artists. The museum’s construction was started in 1958 and finished in 1963. It was redecorated about 40 years later and reopened on July 23, 2003. The museum’s 21 exhibition halls occupy more than 6,000 square meters. The large-sized artworks are displayed in the 480-square-meter round hall. The first floor’s east and west halls are 470 square meters each and display frequently updated collections taken from the museum’s more than 60,000 works of fine art produced by modern and folk artists. The museum is open every Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm. If you love modern art, this is the right place for you.

Four Ways Your Cat Tries to Communicate with You
Cats are amazing creatures, and while they can’t talk to us, they certainly know how to communicate their needs and feelings. It’s just up to us to learn how to listen to what they are saying.
Meowing
Cats meow at their owners for several reasons, including: to ask for food, to greet people, to ask for attention, and to let you know they want to go outside/come inside. In addition, elderly cats suffering from cognitive dysfunction, similar to Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) in humans, may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.
Purring
While cats purr as a sign of contentment, they also do it as a self-comforting mechanism when sick, stressed or injured. If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water, they could be sick or in pain.
Tail Posture
If they hold their tail straight up and have relaxed fur, they’re likely to feel happy or curious. But if their fur stands on end while their tail is straight, this indicates fear or anger. Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates insecurity, and a tail that’s rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.
Rubbing
When your cat rubs against your legs or gives you headbutts, they are telling you that they love you. That is not the only thing they are doing, though! Cats rub their bodies and cheeks against people and objects to mark their territory and to claim humans, other cats, and various objects as their own.
21.When cats are sick or in pain, what are they likely to do?
A.Meow at their owners.
B.Rub against their owners’ legs.
C.Purr and refuse food.
D.Hold their tails straight up.
22.What could a cat show when it hides its tail between its legs?
A.Insecurity. B.Depression.
C.Curiosity. D.Happiness.
23.Who provides this text most probably?
A.A cat sitter. B.A cat owner.
C.An animal shelter. D.A pet healthcare centre.
B
A great-grandfather has spent half a century drawing almost his entire village on a 100ft scroll (长卷纸) he bought for 10 shillings back in 1969. The scroll now features 320 pencil and ink drawings of buildings from his hometown Aldridge. It includes images of lost hotels, shops and streets as well as drawings of how this British town still looks today.
Maurice Ivor Birch bought the long sheet of paper from a car boot sale. He said, “We went to a sale in Cannock when my son was around four in 1969 and I spotted this great big roll of paper. I thought I could have that because I used to do little cartoon sketches (素描) of animals for my son to colour in and it seemed perfect.” After doing about 80 sketches, the self-taught artist thought about what else he could do.
Later, he started drawing buildings of Aldridge where he has lived all his life. “A lot of the buildings have gone. I managed to draw some from what I remembered while others were from old photographs and history books. Each sketch probably took me about eight hours. It’s just been a hobby that has continued to grow for over half a century,” Maurice said.
Maurice’s scroll features Aldridge’s former railway station and the old Avion Cinema. He added, “I have managed to sketch the whole of the old high street, which is unrecognizable today. I have seen this village change greatly over the years. This is a great way to mark its past. Hopefully, it will be a legacy (遗产) showing the way Aldridge used to be. I’ve always wished my children could see Aldridge as it was and this way they sort of can. It’s a nice little piece of memory to leave for my kids and grandchildren.”
24.What does the scroll primarily represent about Aldridge?
A.A guide to recent village attractions.
B.An exploration of modern buildings.
C.A study on its rapid business development.
D.An artistic record of its changes over time.
25.Why did Maurice buy the scroll?
A.To use it for creative art.
B.To satisfy his son’s expectations.
C.To start a family tradition.
D.To take up a new hobby.
26.How did Maurice try to recreate the images of Aldridge?
A.By communicating with known historians.
B.By learning traditional photography skills.
C.By relying on memories and related sources.
D.By visiting cultural sites and local citizens.
27.What does Maurice expect to do with his drawings?
A.Educate children about the power of creativity.
B.Keep Aldridge’s history for future generations.
C.Decorate Aldridge’s railway station walls.
D.Support the effort to repair old buildings.

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends & Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument—and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives,and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal(言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions—like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate(阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strengths and weaknesses. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument—not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments—from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other—then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
28.What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of arguments?
A.Critical. B.Supportive.
C.Tolerant. D.Uncertain.
29.Why do many people try to avoid arguments?
A.They lack debating skills.
B.They may feel bad even if they win.
C.They fear being ignored.
D.They are not confident in themselves.
30.What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Defend. B.Explain.
C.Conclude. D.Repeat.
31.What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?
A.A sense of logic.
B.Solid supporting evidence.
C.Proper manners.
D.Understanding from both sides.
D
King Shahryar, betrayed (背叛) by his wife, decides to marry a new woman each night and have her killed by morning to ensure he is never betrayed again. Scheherazade volunteers to marry the king. Each evening, she begins an engaging story but stops at dawn, leaving him eager for more. Night after night, she keeps him attracted with new tales, and over 1,001 nights, the king falls in love with her and abandons his cruel ways.
This ancient tale from One Thousand and One Nights highlights storytelling’s impact. Our recent research shows that strong storytelling skills can dramatically improve someone’s well-being.
At its core, storytelling helps people find meaning from life’s chaos. Studies show we shape our identities by turning experiences into personal stories. Skilled storytellers excel at two key skills: they need to connect events logically and they must learn to see the world through the eyes of their characters, understanding the “why” of what drives people. Applying these two skills to their own lives, skillful storytellers use the first to identify and pursue what gives their life meaning, while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the “why” behind their actions over just the “how”.
To illustrate this point, we conducted studies with 800 participants. We measured storytelling ability through self-reports, friend evaluations and expert reviews on lab experiments where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words. In addition to these assessments of storytelling skills, we asked participants questions to get a sense of how meaningful they found life and whether they approached decisions with a “why” mindset rather than a “how” mindset.
Results consistently linked storytelling skills to stronger life meaning and goal clarity. Personality also mattered: people open to new experiences collected more interesting life stories, while shy people used storytelling to balance out their limited social interaction.
A strong “why” mindset is connected with reduced stress and extended life. Storytelling also builds social connections. By helping people express their purpose and build relationships, stories may indirectly strengthen both mental and physical health.
Storytelling workshops, now popular globally, may do more than teach communication; they could help participants redefine their life’s direction.
32.Why does the author mention Scheherazade’s stories in the first paragraph?
A.To show Scheherazade’s cleverness.
B.To entertain readers with a classic tale.
C.To introduce the topic of storytelling.
D.To compare ancient and modern stories.
33.What does the “why” mindset primarily focus on?
A.Completing daily tasks efficiently.
B.Avoiding stressful situations.
C.Memorizing random life events.
D.Understanding life’s purpose.
34.What were participants asked to do in the lab experiment?
A.Share personal interests in a group.
B.Tell a story with provided words.
C.Reflect on the “why” behind their actions.
D.Combine events into a meaningful story.
35.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Scheherazade’s Survival in an Ancient Tale
B.How People’s Storytelling Abilities Develop
C.Living a Meaningful Life through Storytelling
D.Why Shy People Attend Storytelling Workshops

Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create real connections with others just by listening and talking. The following are four habits of super communicators.
They know what kind of conversation they’re having. Super communicators are usually able to respond accordingly. If you’re having a practical conversation, your friend might ask you to help make hard decisions. 36 If your friend is just expressing his feelings, you just need to be a good listener.
They prove they’re listening. There are plenty of ways to show you’re listening, like making eye contact or nodding. To do that, experts suggest a technique called “cycle for understanding”. Ask a question and listen to the response. Repeat what they just told you. Ask your conversation partner if you correctly understood what they said. 37
They ask a lot of the right questions. Research shows that highly effective communicators tend to ask 10 to 20 times as many questions as everyone else. They may simply be follow-up questions like “What happened next?”. Super communicators also ask questions that get people to open up. 38 They ask about people’s values or experiences and create an opportunity for the emotional connection.
39 The goal of a discussion isn’t to impress someone, convince someone or wait for their turn to speak. It’s to genuinely comprehend someone else’s point of view and share their own views accordingly. The right response creates an atmosphere of trust and openness that both parties can benefit from. 40
A.They aim to understand.
B.Experts call them “deep questions”.
C.They are persuasive communicators.
D.The decisions should be easy to carry out.
E.This practice sounds simple but is powerful.
F.Then you should be ready to give good advice.
G.And that is actually the most magical thing that can happen.

London’s food scene has witnessed an inrush of not only traditional Cantonese (广东的) restaurants but also a diverse range of regional Chinese cuisines. For decades, London’s Chinatown has been closely associated with classic dishes 56 (root) in Guangdong province, while London’s Chinese food has expanded far beyond that, reflecting a much 57 (broad) cultural shift.
While Cantonese-centric offerings have laid the foundation of familiarity with Chinese culinary (烹饪的) culture, the increasing variety makes it 58 big challenge for restaurants to meet local British tastes. To adapt to the trend, they manage to introduce new dishes and enhance existing ones 59 (continuous) for bettering the menu. Additionally, larger culinary schools commit to teaching authentic (地道的) Chinese cooking, 60 (strengthen) greater appreciation and mastery of the cuisine.
Hot pot, a typical Chinese dish, has taken centre stage in London, described as an “adventure” 61 locals could enjoy genuine Sichuan cuisine and unfamiliar cultural experiences. Meanwhile, hearty hand-pulled noodles of Xi’an are also making waves, driven by the growing 62 (present) of Chinese customers and Londoners’ appetite for authentic regional flavors.
Chen Xin, the chief organizer of the 2024 Chinese Cuisine International Development Summit, 63 (emphasize) that London was becoming a true global centre of Chinese cuisine, staying true 64 one single mission—providing Chinese customers with a taste of home and showcasing the depth of Chinese culinary culture to international 65 (diner).

Two weeks after my husband and I moved into our new house, he went abroad on a business trip that would take a year. This was the first time I had had to take care of our three-year-old son Cameron and four-month-old baby Colby alone for so long. I had met a few neighbors, including Karen, Tim and Mike in our new neighborhood, but everyone was busy with their careers. We hardly even spoke.
One afternoon, I glanced out the window and noticed something strange. I walked outside and saw a light green colour in the sky that made my hair stand on end. Before long, the tornado sirens (龙卷风警报器) sounded. I turned on the news to learn of a tornado forming above our town. I was nervous and scared.
“Get into your storm shelter immediately. If you don’t have one, go into the bathroom in your house,” the weatherman soon announced. I rushed to the kids’ room. “We need to get into the bathroom. There’s a big storm outside, and we’ll be safe in there,” I said, trying to sound brave. I then tried hard to pull a mattress over us, but it wouldn’t stay. The baby was crying; the dog was barking. I could hear the wind roaring outside. Fear hit me like never before. I felt anxious and completely alone as the tornado sirens screamed in the distance.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was our neighbor Karen from across the street. “Tim and I are leaving. You and the boys are coming with us,” she said. For a second, I hesitated. Where in the world were they going? If they were getting into their car, I thought we’d be better off here. It was raining heavily with bright flashes of lightning. It looked like it would be the end of the world. My kids were frightened, and I was lost and seemed to be in my dream.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
I stood before my door in terrible fear,afraid to move.
I found several other neighbors already in Mike’s storm shelter.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位老人用半个世纪的时间在一幅100英尺长的卷轴上画了几乎整个村庄,他希望这能够成为展示家乡Aldridge旧貌的遗产,为子孙留下美好的回忆。
24.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It includes images of lost hotels, shops and streets as well as drawings of how this British town still looks today.”可知,这幅画包括Aldridge消失的旅馆、商店和街道以及Aldridge现在的样子,由此可知,它是Aldridge随时间变化的艺术记录。故选D项。
25.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I thought I could have that because I used to do little cartoon sketches of animals for my son to colour in and it seemed perfect.”可知,Maurice购买卷轴的初衷是画卡通动物素描来让儿子涂色,属于艺术创作用途。故选A项。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。作者阐述了争论的意义和“赢得”争论的方法。
28.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives, and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place”可知,作者认为这种观点会给我们的个人生活和社会生活带来问题,而且在很多方面它首先忽略了争论的意义,由此可推知,作者对于Carnegie对争论的看法持批判态度,故选A项。
29.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“verbal fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad”可知,很多人尽量避免争论,因为即使赢了,他们也感觉很糟糕,故选B项。

31.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,如果我们重新调整我们对争论的看法——从一场口水战或网球比赛转变为一种合乎逻辑的交流,通过这种交流,我们都能获得彼此的尊重和理解,那么我们就改变了“赢得”争论的意义的本质,由此可知,作者认为“赢得”争论的关键是通过交流获得彼此的尊重和理解,故选D项。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。最近的一项研究表明,强大的讲故事能力能显著提升一个人的幸福感,文章介绍了背后的原因、对此所做的实验以及实验结果等。
32.C 推理判断题。第一段讲述了Shahryar国王和Scheherazade的故事,第二段提到这个古老的传说凸显了讲故事的影响力,并引出“强大的讲故事能力能显著提升一个人的幸福感”这一主题。由此可知,作者提到Scheherazade的故事是为了引出“讲故事”这一主题。故选C项。
33.D 推理判断题。第三段提到擅长讲故事的人会运用两种关键技能,其中第二种技能是学会从角色的视角看世界,理解驱动人们行为的事物背后的“原因”。根据第三段最后一句中的“while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the ‘why’ behind their actions over just the ‘how’”可知,“why”思维模式优先考虑的是行为背后的“原因”,即目的。由此可知,“why”思维模式主要聚焦于理解生活的目的。故选D项。
34.B 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“We measured storytelling ability through...where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words.”可知,实验要求参与者用提供的随机词语编故事。故选B项。
35.C 主旨大意题。文章以Scheherazade的故事开篇,引出“讲故事”这一主题,介绍了讲故事如何帮助人们找到生活意义、明确目标、建立社会联系,最终提升身心健康。因此C项“通过讲故事过上有意义的生活”能概括全文主旨,最适合作为标题。故选C项。

36.F 根据下文“If your friend is...to be a good listener.”可知,当朋友只是在表达感受时,你只需要倾听。结合上文“If youre having...make hard decisions.”可知,如果朋友请你帮忙做艰难的决定时,你应给出好的建议。F项中的advice呼应上文的“hard decisions”。故选F。
37.E 空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据上文“Ask a question and listen...what they said.”可知,超级沟通者通过“提问—听取回答—重复回答—再提问确定”的方法来证明自己在倾听别人说话。E项“这种做法听起来很简单,但却很有效”与上文承接自然,This practice指代上文提到的方法。故选E。
38.B 上文提到超级沟通者会问很多问题,它们可能只是一些后续问题,他们也会问一些让人们敞开心扉的问题。下文提到他们询问人们的价值观或经历,并创造情感联系的机会。由此可知,超级沟通者会问一些比较简单的问题,也会询问一些让人敞开心扉和创造情感联系的问题,问题变得深入了。B项“专家称之为‘深度问题’”与上下文衔接紧密,B项中的them指代上文“questions that get people to open up”。故选B。
39.A 空处位于段首,是本段的主旨句。下文提到讨论的目的是理解别人的观点,并分享自己的想法,即讨论是为了理解。由此可知,超级沟通者对话的目的是理解。A项符合题意。故选A。
40.G 空处位于段末,应承接上文。上文提到正确的回应可以创造信任和开放的氛围,能让对话双方都受益,G项“这确实是会发生的最神奇的事情了”与上文承接自然。故选G。

第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jamie,
Im sorry to know that you have difficulty in your Chinese learning. To be honest, its never easy to learn Chinese. Even native Chinese speakers may find it hard to learn it well, so you dont have to feel upset. Here are some useful tips.
First, it would be a good idea to turn to the Internet when you have a problem. You can learn how to read and write Chinese characters on it. Additionally, practicing is very helpful, so join some clubs and ask for others help. Last but not least, learning some relevant courses on apps is definitely of great benefit.
Hope to see your progress!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
I stood before my door in terrible fear,afraid to move. Worry and fear written all over their faces, Karen and Tim were shouting at me to hurry up. However, my mind just went blank, unable to utter a single word. At the sight of my state of panic, Tim quickly grabbed Camerons hand, threw his jacket over him to protect him, and rushed into the heavy rain. Before I knew it, holding baby Colby in my arms, I followed Karen and ran into the storm. Cold rain hit us and lightning flashed as we ran down the darkened street through deep puddles. After what seemed ages, we arrived. In front of us was Mikes storm shelter.
I found several other neighbors already in Mikes storm shelter. Seeing our arrival, all the neighbors warmly greeted us and welcomed us in. Mike and other neighbors helped me take care of my kids so that I could take a breath. Outside the extremely frightening noise of the roaring wind, heavy rain and tornado sirens continued, but inside, the atmosphere was quiet and warm. The storm connected me with my nice neighbors and I didn’t feel alone anymore. The help of my neighbors was so generous that it enabled me to get through the darkest moment.
