第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Zurich Region is top for leisure and pleasure. Gentle hills, peaceful woods, the unpolluted lakes and rivers, picturesque villages — and all just a stone’s throw from the Alps. Zurich Region is the ideal starting point for all kinds of short trips.
Zurich
With opera ballet, shows, musicals, art exhibitions in over 50 museums and 100 galleries, time never drags in Zurich. The famous Bahnhofstrasse and the Limmatquai are always a shopper’s paradise. Over 1,700 restaurants and bars serve both traditional Zurich and Swiss dishes as well as foreign specialties. The evenings will leave you spoilt for choice: indoors or outdoors, anything is possible as far as the nightlife in Zurich goes.
Winterthur
Winterthur has blossomed from a former industrial town to a lively place for all racial groups and types of culture. Winterthur is an important museum town — it has 17 in all — and also offers a wide range of culture, sports and entertainment. Among the numerous night clubs and bars you will also find the only bar in Switzerland that opens 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The Rhine Falls, the biggest waterfall in Europe, is just a 20-minute drive from Winterthur.
Rapperswil & Lake Zurich
Rapperswil, a town at the upper end of Lake Zurich, will charm you with its many attractions: the castle, the medieval (中世纪的) old town, the historical wooden bridge and Knies Children’s Zoo. Equally, however, the Alpamare water park and Atzmännig slide & trampoline paradise are just as much part of this family-friendly destination. Summer or winter, the Lake Zurich region offers many opportunities for sport.
Zug
Even the residents of Zug never get tired of the sunsets: when the sun goes down over the lake, the horizon goes blood-red, and all eyes turn to the romantic show of colour on the water. Equally charming is the historic centre of the town, best experienced by leisurely walking its narrow and winding alleys(小巷), wandering on the pretty lakeside and sitting at one of the many street cafes to watch the world go by.
36. What makes Winterthur special among the four places mentioned?
A. Its entertainment. B. Its biggest waterfall in the world.
C. Its 24-hour bar. D. Its developed industry.
37. Which destination may be suitable for a family with kids?
A. Zurich. B. Winterthur.
C. Rapperswil & Lake Zurich. D. Zug.
38. How can you best experience the charm of Zug?
A. By admiring the sunrise. B. By walking around casually.
C. By seeing the color of water. D. By communicating with residents.
39. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A travel brochure. B. A news report.
C. A science magazine. D. A geography textbook.
B
At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name:Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
40. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first?
A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.
B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C. She thought the characters were beautiful.
D. She understood the intention but still disliked it.
41. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ________.
A. protect cultural heritage B. reconnect with her root
C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community
42. What did the author find difficult when learning calligraphy?
A. Copying the old masters’techniques exactly.
B. Accepting and understanding her real cultural identity.
C. Writing with confidence and bold strokes.
D. Understanding her teacher’s straight comments.
43. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ________.
A. mirrors the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy
C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice
44. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are.
C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better.
C
In the Alps and Apennines of southern Europe, longhorn beetles are moving uphill, and a rare brown butterfly with orange-tipped wings is facing extinction due to isolation (隔离) at high peaks. This is a picture of a global trend. With temperatures rising and pressure on biodiversity growing, insects vital to our ecosystems are not only moving north and south, but up.
Research shows many animals are making similar moves, but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year, with some species making significantly greater journeys. All of this shows the speed of climate change and its ecological impacts at higher altitudes.
In ecology, finding the “smoking gun” to neatly explain any phenomenon is generally difficult. Prof. Christy McCain, who runs Colorado University’s Mountain Lab, said: “One thing that people don’t think about as much is context: how climate affects insects at different life stages, such as eggs and larvae. Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change, especially in cold and dry mountain environments.”
McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding, with too many museum specimens (标本) from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths have been neglected.
To support her view, she cites research on carrion (食腐类) beetles by a student in her lab. The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these insects, which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions. Their long history since the Cretaceous (白垩纪) also aids their adaptation today.
There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change. For some groups, it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are, the better their chances. There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove a saving grace.
45 What is the main idea conveyed in the first paragraph?
A. Insects are moving to cooler places as temperatures rise.
B. Most rare species in Europe have already died out.
C. The Alps and Apennines have the richest biodiversity.
D. Butterflies are more important than other insects.
46. Why does the author refer to bumblebees in the Pyrenees?
A. To confirm their adaptability to high-altitude habitats.
B. To identify a threat to particular species in mountain areas.
C. To illustrate insects’ rapid response to climate shifts.
D. To clarify the link between climate and ecosystem health.
47. Which statement may McCain agree with according to paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Study context is beyond grasp.
B. Research data are hard to obtain.
C. Collection method is unconventional.
D. Insect samples are unrepresentative.
48. According to the passage, the research on carrion beetles shows that ________.
A. they are unable to survive in extreme conditions
B. climate tolerance may be inherited by them
C. they move uphill faster than other insects
D. they have the same life stages as butterflies
49. What does “a saving grace” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A method used to collect data.
B. A feature that helps improve a situation.
C. A problem that needs to be solved.
D. A type of insect that adapts well to change.
D
Life can be metaphorically perceived as a vast wilderness, an extensive and uncharted terrain waiting to be explored. This analogy (类比) carries profound implications that can offer us unique insights into the essence of existence and guide us towards a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
The wilderness is vast, mysterious, and full of uncertainties, much like life itself. When we step into this wilderness that is life, we are faced with the unknown at every turn. There are no predetermined paths, no clear signposts to direct us towards our destination. We must rely on our instincts, our inner compass, to find our way forward. This uncertainty can be daunting, yet it is precisely this uncertainty that makes life infused with adventure and potential. Just as explorers in a wilderness must be prepared to face unexpected challenges and adapt to ever-changing circumstances, we too must cultivate resilience and flexibility in our life journey. We will encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable, situations that test our patience and resolve. However, it is through these trials that we discover our inner strength and capabilities that we never knew we possessed. Each difficulty overcome is a step forward in our personal growth and development.
Moreover, the wilderness is a place of solitude (孤独) and self-discovery. In the quiet expanse of the wilderness, away from the noise and distractions of civilization, one can hear the faint voice of their inner self. Similarly, life provides us with moments of solitude, times when we are stripped of external validations and material possessions, and are left alone with our thoughts. These moments, though sometimes uncomfortable, are crucial for self-reflection and introspection (自省). They allow us to question our values, our goals, and our direction in life. It is in these moments of stillness that we can reconnect with our true passions and desires, away from the influences and expectations of others. We can then use this clarity to make more authentic and meaningful choices about our future.
Furthermore, the wilderness is teeming with diverse flora and fauna (动植物), each species coexisting and interacting within a delicate ecosystem. Life too is marked by its diversity and interconnectedness. We encounter people from different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life, each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences. These interactions enrich our understanding of the world and broaden our horizons. Just as the wilderness thrives on biodiversity, our lives are made more vibrant and complete through the diverse relationships we form. We learn from others, we share and exchange ideas, and together we create a richer tapestry (织锦) of human experience.
In this wilderness called life, we are both the explorers and the explored. As we venture forth, we not only discover new landscapes but also uncover new facets of ourselves. The journey is not always easy, but it is in the challenges and the unknown that we find the opportunity for growth and transformation. So let us embrace this wilderness with courage and curiosity. Let us not fear the uncertainties and the solitude, but see them as stepping stones towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In doing so, we can truly live a life that is authentic, meaningful, and rich in experience.
50. Why does the author compare life to a wilderness?
A. Both require external guidance.
B. Both present challenges that preparation can solve.
C. Both confront us with uncontrollable conditions.
D. Both reward those who follow established paths.
51. According to Paragraph 2, what can we learn about life’s uncertainty?
A. It makes life more adventurous.
B. It requires us to be adaptable.
C. It helps us discover inner strengths.
D. It teaches us to set realistic goals.
52. What does the underlined phrase “stripped of” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. reminded of B. robbed of C. proud of D. aware of
53. What is the primary purpose of the author’s reference to “delicate ecosystem” in paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize that each person plays a role in the whole.
B. To suggest that human relationships require ongoing effort.
C. To highlight the interdependent nature of human connections.
D. To remind readers that humans are easily affected by others.
54. What does the author want to convey through the last paragraph?
A. Enduring life’s inevitable hardships shapes who we become.
B. Exploring the unknown reveals the mysteries within ourselves.
C. Exploring outward and looking inward uncover new selves.
D. Mastering both the world and oneself defines a true explorer.
55. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Life: A Journey into the Unknown
B. The Wilderness: A Place of Solitude
C. How to Survive in the Wilderness of Life
D. Explorers and Their Adventure in Nature

My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away:undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.
I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph.D. but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her?
It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph.D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.
After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all.
56. According to Paragraph 1 what did the author regret doing? (No more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________

Zurich Region is top for leisure and pleasure. Gentle hills, peaceful woods, the unpolluted lakes and rivers, picturesque villages — and all just a stone’s throw from the Alps. Zurich Region is the ideal starting point for all kinds of short trips.
Zurich
With opera, ballet, shows, musicals, art exhibitions in over 50 museums and 100 galleries, time never drags in Zurich. The famous Bahnhofstrasse and the Limmatquai are always a shopper’s paradise. Over 1,700 restaurants and bars serve both traditional Zurich and Swiss dishes as well as foreign specialties. The evenings will leave you spoilt for choice: indoors or outdoors, anything is possible as far as the nightlife in Zurich goes.
Winterthur
Winterthur has blossomed from a former industrial town to a lively place for all racial groups and types of culture. Winterthur is an important museum town — it has 17 in all — and also offers a wide range of culture, sports and entertainment.

Equally, however, the Alpamare water park and Atzmännig slide & trampoline paradise are just as much part of this family-friendly destination. Summer or winter, the Lake Zurich region offers many opportunities for sport.
Zug
Even the residents of Zug never get tired of the sunsets: when the sun goes down over the lake, the horizon goes blood-red, and all eyes turn to the romantic show of colour on the water. Equally charming is the historic centre of the town, best experienced by leisurely walking its narrow and winding alleys(小巷), wandering on the pretty lakeside and sitting at one of the many street cafes to watch the world go by.

B
At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name:Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
40. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first?
A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.
B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C. She thought the characters were beautiful.
D. She understood the intention but still disliked it.
41. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ________.
A. protect cultural heritage B. reconnect with her root
C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community
42. What did the author find difficult when learning calligraphy?
A. Copying the old masters’techniques exactly.
B. Accepting and understanding her real cultural identity.
C. Writing with confidence and bold strokes.
D. Understanding her teacher’s straight comments.
43. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ________.
A. mirrors the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy
C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice
44. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are.
C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better.
【答案】40. D 41. B 42. C 43. A 44. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者起初不喜欢自己的中文名字,在美国时甚至放弃使用。后来为追寻文化根源学习书法,在老师的指导下,她通过书法找回自信与真实的自我,明白了字如其人。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name:Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔,所以他们请算命先生来决定我的名字,希望能带来最大的好运。结果,我得到了一个毫无意义且令人尴尬的名字:陈薏温,大致意思是“年长的”“薏米”和“温暖的”。)”可推知,父母请算命先生取名是为了求好运,作者理解这份用意,但她认为自己的名字无意义且令人尴尬,并不喜欢。故选D项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.( 在美国生活14年后,2021年我搬到香港,决定学习书法。我心想:何不重新找回自己的文化根脉呢?)”可知,作者决定学习书法是为了重新与自己的根源联系起来。故选B项。

C
In the Alps and Apennines of southern Europe, longhorn beetles are moving uphill, and a rare brown butterfly with orange-tipped wings is facing extinction due to isolation (隔离) at high peaks. This is a picture of a global trend. With temperatures rising and pressure on biodiversity growing, insects vital to our ecosystems are not only moving north and south, but up.
Research shows many animals are making similar moves, but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year, with some species making significantly greater journeys. All of this shows the speed of climate change and its ecological impacts at higher altitudes.
In ecology, finding the “smoking gun” to neatly explain any phenomenon is generally difficult. Prof. Christy McCain, who runs Colorado University’s Mountain Lab, said: “One thing that people don’t think about as much is context: how climate affects insects at different life stages, such as eggs and larvae. Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change, especially in cold and dry mountain environments.”
McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding with too many museum specimens (标本) from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths have been neglected.
To support her view, she cites research on carrion (食腐类) beetles by a student in her lab. The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these insects, which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions. Their long history since the Cretaceous (白垩纪) also aids their adaptation today.
There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change. For some groups, it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are, the better their chances. There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove a saving grace.
45. What is the main idea conveyed in the first paragraph?
A. Insects are moving to cooler places as temperatures rise.
B. Most rare species in Europe have already died out.
C. The Alps and Apennines have the richest biodiversity.
D. Butterflies are more important than other insects.
46. Why does the author refer to bumblebees in the Pyrenees?
A. To confirm their adaptability to high-altitude habitats.
B. To identify a threat to particular species in mountain areas.
C. To illustrate insects’ rapid response to climate shifts.
D. To clarify the link between climate and ecosystem health.
47. Which statement may McCain agree with according to paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Study context is beyond grasp.
B. Research data are hard to obtain.
C. Collection method is unconventional.
D. Insect samples are unrepresentative.
48. According to the passage, the research on carrion beetles shows that ________.
A. they are unable to survive in extreme conditions
B. climate tolerance may be inherited by them
C. they move uphill faster than other insects
D they have the same life stages as butterflies
49. What does “a saving grace” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A method used to collect data.
B. A feature that helps improve a situation.
C. A problem that needs to be solved.
D. A type of insect that adapts well to change.
【答案】45. A 46. C 47. D 48. B 49. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了随着气温上升,昆虫为适应环境变化而向更高海拔地区迁移的现象,分析了昆虫快速响应气候变化的原因,指出了当前昆虫研究数据存在的问题,并提及了食腐类昆虫对气候变化的适应特点。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“With temperatures rising and pressure on biodiversity growing, insects vital to our ecosystems are not only moving north and south, but up. (随着气温上升和生物多样性压力的增加,对我们生态系统至关重要的昆虫不仅在向南北迁移,还在向上迁移。)”可知本段讲述昆虫随着气温升高在向更凉爽的地方移动。。故选A项。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Research shows many animals are making similar moves, but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year, with some species making significantly greater journeys. (研究表明,许多动物都有类似的移动,但昆虫的高移动性和短世代时间使它们能够迅速对变化做出反应。比利牛斯山脉的大黄蜂平均每年向上移动超过一米,有些物种移动的距离要大得多。)”可推知,这是用比利牛斯山脉的大黄蜂为例来具体说明昆虫对气候变化的快速反应。故选C项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Prof. Christy McCain, who runs Colorado University’s Mountain Lab, said: “One thing that people don’t think about as much is context: how climate affects insects at different life stages, such as eggs and larvae. Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change, especially in cold and dry mountain environments.” (科罗拉多大学山地实验室主任克里斯蒂·麦凯恩教授指出:“人们往往忽视一个关键因素——环境背景:气候变化如何影响昆虫不同发育阶段(如卵和幼虫)。若仅在夏季对成虫进行测量,可能无法揭示气候变化的最显著影响,特别是在寒冷干燥的山区环境中。” )”和第四段“McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding, with too many museum specimens (标本) from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths have been neglected. (麦凯恩认为,历史上数据收集的方式阻碍了他们的理解,来自低海拔的博物馆标本太多,而来自高海拔的标本则少得多。除了蝴蝶和飞蛾之外,许多其他群体都被忽视了。)”可知麦凯恩认为昆虫样本不具有代表性。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“To support her view, she cites research on carrion (食腐类) beetles by a student in her lab. The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these insects, which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions. (为了支持她的观点,她引用了她实验室里一名学生对食腐甲虫的研究。研究表明,这些昆虫的气候耐受性可能会遗传下来,它们在分解过程中起着关键作用,并保护它们免受极端条件的影响。)”可知,食腐甲虫的气候耐受性可能会遗传。故选B项。
【49题详解】
词句猜测题。最后一段提到“There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change. For some groups, it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are, the better their chances. There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove a saving grace. (没有标准的昆虫,也没有对环境变化的标准反应。对于一些群体来说,可能是体型越大、移动性越强,生存的机会就越大。也没有普遍的高地栖息地,这也可能证明是一种‘a saving grace’。)”可知,前文指出没有普遍的高地栖息地,这看似不利,但也可能证明是有助于改善情况的特点。由此猜测划线部分意为“一个有助于改善情况的特点”。故选B项。

Life can be metaphorically perceived as a vast wilderness, an extensive and uncharted terrain waiting to be explored. This analogy (类比) carries profound implications that can offer us unique insights into the essence of existence and guide us towards a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
The wilderness is vast, mysterious, and full of uncertainties, much like life itself. When we step into this wilderness that is life, we are faced with the unknown at every turn. There are no predetermined paths, no clear signposts to direct us towards our destination. We must rely on our instincts, our inner compass, to find our way forward. This uncertainty can be daunting, yet it is precisely this uncertainty that makes life infused with adventure and potential. Just as explorers in a wilderness must be prepared to face unexpected challenges and adapt to ever-changing circumstances, we too must cultivate resilience and flexibility in our life journey. We will encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable, situations that test our patience and resolve. However, it is through these trials that we discover our inner strength and capabilities that we never knew we possessed. Each difficulty overcome is a step forward in our personal growth and development.
Moreover, the wilderness is a place of solitude (孤独) and self-discovery. In the quiet expanse of the wilderness, away from the noise and distractions of civilization, one can hear the faint voice of their inner self. Similarly, life provides us with moments of solitude, times when we are stripped of external validations and material possessions, and are left alone with our thoughts. These moments, though sometimes uncomfortable, are crucial for self-reflection and introspection (自省). They allow us to question our values, our goals, and our direction in life. It is in these moments of stillness that we can reconnect with our true passions and desires, away from the influences and expectations of others. We can then use this clarity to make more authentic and meaningful choices about our future.
Furthermore, the wilderness is teeming with diverse flora and fauna (动植物), each species coexisting and interacting within a delicate ecosystem. Life too is marked by its diversity and interconnectedness. We encounter people from different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life, each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences. These interactions enrich our understanding of the world and broaden our horizons. Just as the wilderness thrives on biodiversity, our lives are made more vibrant and complete through the diverse relationships we form. We learn from others, we share and exchange ideas, and together we create a richer tapestry (织锦) of human experience.
In this wilderness called life, we are both the explorers and the explored. As we venture forth, we not only discover new landscapes but also uncover new facets of ourselves. The journey is not always easy, but it is in the challenges and the unknown that we find the opportunity for growth and transformation. So let us embrace this wilderness with courage and curiosity. Let us not fear the uncertainties and the solitude, but see them as stepping stones towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In doing so, we can truly live a life that is authentic, meaningful, and rich in experience.
50. Why does the author compare life to a wilderness?
A. Both require external guidance.
B. Both present challenges that preparation can solve.
C. Both confront us with uncontrollable conditions.
D. Both reward those who follow established paths.
51. According to Paragraph 2, what can we learn about life’s uncertainty?
A. It makes life more adventurous.
B. It requires us to be adaptable.
C. It helps us discover inner strengths.
D. It teaches us to set realistic goals.
52. What does the underlined phrase “stripped of” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. reminded of B. robbed of C. proud of D. aware of
53 What is the primary purpose of the author’s reference to “delicate ecosystem” in paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize that each person plays a role in the whole.
B. To suggest that human relationships require ongoing effort.
C. To highlight the interdependent nature of human connections.
D. To remind readers that humans are easily affected by others.
54. What does the author want to convey through the last paragraph?
A. Enduring life’s inevitable hardships shapes who we become.
B. Exploring the unknown reveals the mysteries within ourselves.
C. Exploring outward and looking inward uncover new selves.
D. Mastering both the world and oneself defines a true explorer.
55. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Life: A Journey into the Unknown
B. The Wilderness: A Place of Solitude
C. How to Survive in the Wilderness of Life
D. Explorers and Their Adventure in Nature
【答案】50. C 51. A 52. B 53. C 54. C 55. A

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away:undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.
I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph.D. but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her?
It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph.D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.
After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all.
56. According to Paragraph 1, what did the author regret doing? (No more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean? (1 word)
_________________________________________________________________
58. What were the author’s new insights into mentorship during the workshop? (No more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
59. How does the author interact with his students now? (No more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
60. When you experience difficulties in your interpersonal relationships, how will you go about improving them?
(No more than 20 words)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Giving the student unhelpful advice.
57. Disappearance.
58. Good mentors need reflection and training.
59. Caring about their feelings first.
60. I will reflect and communicate with others sincerely.
【解析】

Today, our English club held an activity to let foreign students experience Chinese traditional culture, and we invited Chris and other American students. The purpose was to help them know more about Chinese festivals and build a bridge of cross-cultural communication.
In the evening, we gathered in the school square. We showed them various beautiful lanterns first, and they were deeply attracted by the bright colors and special shapes. Then we played riddle guessing together. Chris was very active and even solved two riddles with our help. Finally, we ate Yuanxiao together. They tasted the sweet glutinous rice balls happily and said they loved the taste.
In my opinion, we can hold more such experience activities regularly, and add some interesting interactions like making lanterns by ourselves, so that foreign friends can better understand and spread Chinese traditional culture.
