I imagined being a cowboy in the west having gun fights and wearing stylish cowboy boots. I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals. I love being able to play the role of somebody, even just for a short time, to try to realize what it might be like to walk in their shoes. Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with brothers and sisters also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the story, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy. One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was recreating the Indiana Jones character in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as the evil man. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacle that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours! My personal favorite was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together. 86. What is mainly discussed in the first paragraph? A. The author’s early careers. B. The author’s longing for future. C. The author’s childhood adventure. D. The author’s youthful fantasies. 87. Why did the author say “Growing up with brothers and sisters also helped”? A. They could defeat the bad guys in school. B. They could put on larger performances. C. They could discuss the environments together. D. They could share some joys and sorrows. 88. According to the third paragraph, how did the writer and his siblings create their adventure? A. By buying special tools for their game. B. By planning the whole story before playing. C. By copying scenes from an Indiana Jones movie. D. By making the garden part of their adventure game. 89. What does the author imply about the nature of true fun? A. It relies on creating complex scenarios with fancy toys. B. It depends on following a structured plan guided by adults. C. It comes from freedom and making do with what is available. D. It requires a large group of people to be enjoyable. 90. According to the passage, the author in childhood can be described as __________. A. aggressive and brave B. naughty and realistic C. imaginative and energetic D. creative and hard-working C All animals take in oxygen from the air they breathe in, and release CO₂ from their blood when breathing out. Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath. But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood, and change their diving behavior in response. To find out if oxygen levels affected seal behavior, Professor McKnight at the University of St. Andrews and his colleagues created a special section in a pool where young seals were held. In one corner, there was a breathing chamber (呼吸室), where they were sheltered from the rain and the wind. The breathing chamber was surrounded by panels that prevented surface swimming, yet swimming below the surface for about 200 feet would give the seals access to a feeder where they could eat as much fish as they liked. Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder. The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior. This ability would put seals in a class beyond any land mammals that have been tested. Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’re about to pass out in free-diving. Therefore, in free-diving without oxygen tanks, accidents are quite common. Our reliance on sensing CO₂ levels in our blood instead of oxygen may be to blame. Actually, this is a perfectly reasonable strategy on land, where growing CO₂ tends to signal breathing issues. But when holding our breath during diving, relying on CO₂ levels is risky, especially on repeated dives. Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface. 91. What do most mammals rely on to determine when to take a breath? A. The growing amount of CO₂ in their blood. B. The rising level of oxygen in their lungs. C The intensity of their physical activity. D. The blood supply to body tissues. 92. When would the seals stay at the feeder for a longer period of time? A. When they needed to take in more food at the feeder. B. When the oxygen level in the chamber grew higher. C. When they familiarized themselves with the setup. D. When the CO₂ level in the chamber was raised. 93. What results in humans’ inability to notice low oxygen levels in their blood? A. The unstable CO₂ levels in the air. B. Their lack of attention to breathing. C. The constant oxygen levels on land. D. Their functionally changeable heart rate. 94. Why do accidents often occur when divers go free-diving? A. Their breath cannot be held long enough. B. They cannot adjust the consumption of oxygen. C. They may fail to notice rising CO₂ levels soon enough. D. Their breathing organs stop working properly underwater. 95. Which statement is probably supported by McKnight’s seal research? A. Seals have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments. B. Seals are quick to sense oxygen levels and act accordingly. C. Seals can maintain their heart rate even with low blood oxygen levels. D. Seals are more sensitive to changes in the environment than other mammals. D Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will likely draw up a rapid list of goods — money, friendship, a rewarding career, etc. Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people. If we’re comparing how happy various people’s lives are, it seems natural to look for certain goods, and compare who has more of them. Let’s imagine the lives of two actors, Toby and Ybot. Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role. But over time he becomes less famous and less well paid, and he begins to suffer difficulties. In the end, he retires as a nobody. These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth. Yet most of us would think that the ordering of these goods does make a decisive difference to how we compare Toby and Ybot’s careers. Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do. But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference. A life of early success followed by decline seems like a less overall successful life than one where success comes later in the day. Where the story ends seems to matter in itself. We value happy endings, not just happy moments. This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order. The hypothesis suggests that our lives are not simply bags into which we stuff good things and bad things. The type of life — the narrative of that life-story — matters too. Without the right shape, even a life full of wondrous things can end up as a tale we’d prefer not to live out. 96. What can be learned about Aristotle’s view on happiness? A. Goods contribute to happiness. B. Virtuous people may not be happy. C. Too many goods reduce happiness. D. Happy people care less about goods. 97. According to the author, what do both Toby and Ybot experience? A. They start from a humble beginning. B. They reach the same height in career. C. They recover from the same sufferings. D. They retire with honour from the film industry. 98. What does the author try to convey with the example of mountain climbing? A. Easy success is often envied. B. There are various paths to success. C. Fierce struggle is vital to success. D. Hard-earned success is treasured more. 99. In writing Paragraph 4, the author tries to________. A. introduce another topic B. draw a conclusion C. further an argument D. provide new evidence 100. What could be the best title for the passage? A. To Shape Your Life with Good Deeds. B. Defining the Shape of a Good Life. C. The Essential Components of Good Life. D. How We Can Have a Good Shape of Life. E “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioral levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 101. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Organizing thoughts. C. Recording spoken words. D. Ensuring fluency. 102. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A. It makes for logical statements. B. It ensures greater objectivity. C. It preserves knowledge longer. D. It requires “memorable thoughts”. 103. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A. To underline its logical structure. B. To contrast with online reading. C. To show its interactive feature. D. To highlight its cultural relevance. 104. What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity? A. Dismissive. B. Skeptical. C. Critical. D. Concerned. 105. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Writing, Reading, and Thinking: Why Literacy Matters More Than Ever. B. The Digital Age: How Technology Is Reshaping Our Minds. C. The Power of Writing: How Putting Pen to Paper Shapes Thought. D. The Decline of Reading: A Warning Against Digital Distraction. F Most of us in the entrepreneurial community are blessed — or cursed — with higher-than-average ambition. Ambitious people strongly desire accomplishments and are willing to take more risks and spend more effort to get them. Overall, this is a positive quality, especially for people trying to build their own businesses. Apparently, if you’re more naturally driven to set goals, you are more likely to succeed. Actually, this isn’t always the case. In fact, in some cases, extreme ambition may end up doing more harm than good. One major side effect of excessive ambition is the tendency to focus too determinedly on one particular vision or end goal. This is problematic because it hinders your ability to adapt to new circumstances, which is vital if you want to be a successful entrepreneur. If a new competitor emerges to threaten your business, you may need to change direction, even if that means straying from your original vision. If you have too much ambition, you’ll find this hard, if not impossible. Few people are successful when they try to build their first brand. Unfortunately, for the most ambitious entrepreneurs, a failure is seen as disastrous, and impossible to recover from. It’s a clear departure from the intended plan toward the intended goal. For people with limited ambition, however, failure is viewed as something closer to reality. Remember, failure is inevitable, and every failure you survive is a learning experience. Ambitious people tend to be more materialistically successful than their non-ambitious counterparts. However, they’re only slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and tend to live significantly shorter lives. This implies that even though ambitious people are more likely to achieve conventional “success,” such success means nothing for their health and happiness — and if you don’t have health and happiness. what else could possibly matter? Clearly, some amount of ambition is good for your motivation. Without any ambition, you wouldn’t start your own business, set or achieve goals and get far in life. But an excess of ambition can also be dangerous, putting you at risk of burnout, stubbornness and even a shorter life. 106. What does the author think of most entrepreneurs? A. They are more willing to risk their own lives. B. They are more ambitious than ordinary people. C. They achieve greater nonconventional success. D. They have more positive qualities than most of us. 107. What does the author imply by saying “this isn’t always the case”? A. Ambitious people may not have a greater chance of success. B. Ambitious people may not have more positive qualities. C. Entrepreneurs’ ambition does as much good as harm. D. Entrepreneurs are more naturally driven to success. 108. If one wants to become a successful entrepreneur, he must _________. A. hold on to his original vision B. be able to adapt to new situations C. focus determinedly on one particular goal D. avoid radical change in one’s career direction 109. How do the most ambitious entrepreneurs regard failure in their endeavor? A. It will awaken them to reality. B. It is a lesson they have to learn. C. It means the end of their career. D. It will result in a slow recovery. 110. What does the author advise us to do concerning ambition? A. Distinguish between conventional success and our life goal. B. Follow the example of the most ambitious entrepreneurs. C. Avoid taking unnecessary risks when starting a business. D. Prioritize health and happiness over material success. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项：用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能使用修改液。 第三部分：写作 第一节、阅读表达 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Spending 27 years living alone while teaching students in a small, remote school would be a tough task for any ordinary person, let alone for a fingerless man. But Chen Haiping has done just that. The story of his selflessness has been held up as an example to all. Born without fingers or toes, Chen became a substitute teacher in 1990, as instructors in rural areas were in short supply at the time. “I was 23 then and nobody employed me after I graduated from middle school. The job provided me with a monthly salary of 50 yuan. I was very satisfied,” Chen said. To be a good teacher, he has overcome many obstacles. He had to get rid of his accent and make his Mandarin more standard to teach pinyin, the Chinese phonetic alphabet, and he got up early each day to attend a larger school 10 kilometers away to learn from teachers there before returning to his school before classes began. But his biggest challenge was writing on the chalkboard. Without fingers, he had to hold the chalk between his palms to write. “The process was torturous. I got blisters (水泡)on my palms, and the chalk always fell to the floor,” Chen recalled. Located on a hillside in Liulin County, his school only has six students; three of them are preschoolers. Chen teaches them all in the same classroom. The situation at Chen’s school is not unusual. As immigrant parents take their children with them to cities, fewer students attend village schools. In the early 2000s, some rural schools closed or merged (合并)to improve conditions. Most village children were sent to schools in towns or cities. A few were left in “ghost schools” like Chen’s. “The quality of education in ghost schools is not as good as that in bigger ones, but they are still important. Without them, some students would drop out,” Chen said, adding that this is part of the reason why he refuses to leave. “I will keep teaching even if there is only one student left,” he said. 111.

I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. I imagined being a cowboy in the west having gun fights and wearing stylish cowboy boots. I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals. I love being able to play the role of somebody, even just for a short time, to try to realize what it might be like to walk in their shoes. Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with brothers and sisters also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the story, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy. One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was recreating the Indiana Jones character in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as the evil man. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacle that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours! My personal favorite was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together. 86. What is mainly discussed in the first paragraph? A. The author’s early careers. B. The author’s longing for future. C. The author’s childhood adventure. D. The author’s youthful fantasies. 87. Why did the author say “Growing up with brothers and sisters also helped”? A. They could defeat the bad guys in school. B. They could put on larger performances. C. They could discuss the environments together. D. They could share some joys and sorrows. 88. According to the third paragraph, how did the writer and his siblings create their adventure? A. By buying special tools for their game. B. By planning the whole story before playing. C By copying scenes from an Indiana Jones movie. D. By making the garden part of their adventure game. 89. What does the author imply about the nature of true fun? A. It relies on creating complex scenarios with fancy toys. B. It depends on following a structured plan guided by adults. C. It comes from freedom and making do with what is available. D. It requires a large group of people to be enjoyable. 90. According to the passage, the author in childhood can be described as __________.

We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacle that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!(我扮演印第安纳·琼斯，妹妹当我的助手，弟弟则扮演反派。我们把花园里的一切，从小径到篱笆，都融入故事情节中，创造出需要克服的障碍，然后一玩就是好几个小时！)”可知，这位作者和他的兄弟姐妹通过将花园纳入他们的冒险游戏中来展开他们的冒险之旅。故选D。 【89题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was recreating the Indiana Jones character in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as the evil man. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacle that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!(我小时候最喜欢的回忆之一，就是在自家后花园里扮演印第安纳·琼斯。我扮演印第安纳·琼斯，妹妹当我的助手，弟弟则扮演反派。我们把花园里的一切，从小径到篱笆，都融入故事情节中，创造出需要克服的障碍，然后一玩就是好几个小时！)”可知，作者利用自家的花园来玩冒险游戏，因此作者暗示了真正的乐趣的本质是源于自由以及利用现有的资源。故选C。 【90题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When young, I dreamed of becoming many things. I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. I imagined being a cowboy in the west having gun fights and wearing stylish cowboy boots. I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals.(小时候，我梦想成为各种各样的人。我希望自己能成为一名宇航员，飞向太空，探寻新星球，身着酷炫的宇航服蹦来跳去。我还幻想自己是一名西部牛仔，与他人枪战对决，脚蹬时尚的牛仔靴。我假装自己是一名著名足球运动员，凭借球技攻入无数进球。)”和第三段中“One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was recreating the Indiana Jones character in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as the evil man. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacle that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!(我小时候最喜欢的回忆之一，就是在自家后花园里扮演印第安纳·琼斯。我扮演印第安纳·琼斯，妹妹当我的助手，弟弟则扮演反派。我们把花园里的一切，从小径到篱笆，都融入故事情节中，创造出需要克服的障碍，然后一玩就是好几个小时！)”可知，作者有着各种奇怪的梦想，因此是想像力丰富的(imaginative)，同时能花很长时间去角色扮演，因此是精力充沛的(energetic)。故选C。 C All animals take in oxygen from the air they breathe in, and release CO₂ from their blood when breathing out. Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath. But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood, and change their diving behavior in response. To find out if oxygen levels affected seal behavior, Professor McKnight at the University of St. Andrews and his colleagues created a special section in a pool where young seals were held. In one corner, there was a breathing chamber (呼吸室), where they were sheltered from the rain and the wind. The breathing chamber was surrounded by panels that prevented surface swimming, yet swimming below the surface for about 200 feet would give the seals access to a feeder where they could eat as much fish as they liked. Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder. The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior. This ability would put seals in a class beyond any land mammals that have been tested. Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’re about to pass out in free-diving. Therefore, in free-diving without oxygen tanks, accidents are quite common. Our reliance on sensing CO₂ levels in our blood instead of oxygen may be to blame. Actually, this is a perfectly reasonable strategy on land, where growing CO₂ tends to signal breathing issues. But when holding our breath during diving, relying on CO₂ levels is risky, especially on repeated dives. Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface. 91. What do most mammals rely on to determine when to take a breath? A. The growing amount of CO₂ in their blood. B. The rising level of oxygen in their lungs. C. The intensity of their physical activity. D. The blood supply to body tissues. 92. When would the seals stay at the feeder for a longer period of time? A. When they needed to take in more food at the feeder. B. When the oxygen level in the chamber grew higher. C. When they familiarized themselves with the setup. D. When the CO₂ level in the chamber was raised. 93. What results in humans’ inability to notice low oxygen levels in their blood? A. The unstable CO₂ levels in the air. B. Their lack of attention to breathing. C. The constant oxygen levels on land. D. Their functionally changeable heart rate. 94. Why do accidents often occur when divers go free-diving? A. Their breath cannot be held long enough. B. They cannot adjust the consumption of oxygen. C. They may fail to notice rising CO₂ levels soon enough. D. Their breathing organs stop working properly underwater. 95. Which statement is probably supported by McKnight’s seal research? A. Seals have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments. B. Seals are quick to sense oxygen levels and act accordingly. C. Seals can maintain their heart rate even with low blood oxygen levels. D. Seals are more sensitive to changes in the environment than other mammals. 【答案】91. A 92. B 93. C 94. C 95. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了海豹能感知血液中氧气量并据此改变潜水行为，人类则因陆地氧气稳定未演化出此能力。 【91题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath.(大多数哺乳动物不能直接检测供应给组织的血液中的氧气水平。相反，它们依靠血液中二氧化碳水平的上升来发出可能需要呼吸的信号)”可知，大多数哺乳动物依靠血液中二氧化碳含量的上升来判断何时呼吸。故选A。 【92题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder.(一旦海豹熟悉了这种设置，研究人员开始逐渐改变呼吸室中空气的成分，增加或减少氧气和二氧化碳的水平，以观察对其行为的影响。果然如此：氧气水平越高，海豹在喂食器停留的时间就越长)”可知，当呼吸室中的氧气水平升高时，海豹会在喂食器停留更长时间。故选B。 【93题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’ re about to pass out in free-diving.(由于陆地上的氧气水平保持稳定，人类似乎没有进化出注意到血液中低氧水平的能力，有时甚至在自由潜水即将昏倒时也没有)”可知，人类无法察觉血液中低氧水平是因为陆地上氧气水平稳定。故选C。 【94题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface.(因为每次我们浮出水面吸气时，我们对二氧化碳的敏感性都会降低，即使其水平已经很高，这也会增加一个人在浮出水面之前无意识地昏倒的可能性)”可知，潜水员在自由潜水时经常发生事故是因为他们可能没有及时注意到二氧化碳水平的上升。故选C。 【95题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood,and change their diving behavior in response.(但最近发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，海豹可以感知血液中的氧气量，并相应地改变它们的潜水行为)”和第四段中“The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior.(这一发现表明，海豹不仅仅是通过改变心率或呼吸来对氧气水平做出身体反应，而是它们对氧气水平有足够的意识来改变它们的行为)”可知，McKnight的海豹研究表明，海豹能迅速感知氧气水平并据此采取行动。故选B。 D Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will likely draw up a rapid list of goods — money, friendship, a rewarding career, etc. Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people. If we’re comparing how happy various people’s lives are, it seems natural to look for certain goods, and compare who has more of them. Let’s imagine the lives of two actors, Toby and Ybot. Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role. But over time he becomes less famous and less well paid, and he begins to suffer difficulties. In the end, he retires as a nobody. These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth. Yet most of us would think that the ordering of these goods does make a decisive difference to how we compare Toby and Ybot’s careers. Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do. But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference. A life of early success followed by decline seems like a less overall successful life than one where success comes later in the day. Where the story ends seems to matter in itself. We value happy endings, not just happy moments. This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order. The hypothesis suggests that our lives are not simply bags into which we stuff good things and bad things. The type of life — the narrative of that life-story — matters too. Without the right shape, even a life full of wondrous things can end up as a tale we’d prefer not to live out. 96. What can be learned about Aristotle’s view on happiness? A. Goods contribute to happiness. B. Virtuous people may not be happy. C. Too many goods reduce happiness. D. Happy people care less about goods. 97. According to the author, what do both Toby and Ybot experience? A. They start from a humble beginning. B. They reach the same height in career. C. They recover from the same sufferings. D. They retire with honour from the film industry. 98. What does the author try to convey with the example of mountain climbing? A. Easy success is often envied. B. There are various paths to success. C. Fierce struggle is vital to success. D. Hard-earned success is treasured more. 99. In writing Paragraph 4, the author tries to________. A. introduce another topic B. draw a conclusion C. further an argument D. provide new evidence 100. What could be the best title for the passage? A. To Shape Your Life with Good Deeds. B. Defining the Shape of a Good Life. C. The Essential Components of Good Life. D. How We Can Have a Good Shape of Life. 【答案】96. A 97. B 98. D 99. C 100. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了何为“美好生活”，指出美好生活不仅关乎经历的内容，还关乎经历的顺序（即生活的“形态”）。 【96题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people.(即使是亚里士多德，他也认为幸福的关键在于美德的培养和锻炼，但他仍然认为某些物品要么是幸福的必要条件，要么是美德之人所能获得的物品)”可知，亚里士多德认为某些物品对幸福是必要的，或者美德之人会获得这些物品，即物品有助于幸福。故选A。 【97题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role.(托比多年来一直在努力找工作，经历了各种各样的困难。他成为了一名著名而富有的演员，并在退休前的最后一部电影中获得了奥斯卡奖。然而，伊博特凭借他的第一部电影角色赢得了奥斯卡奖)”以及第三段“These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth.(这两位演员的人生，就像他们的名字一样，是互为镜像的存在。托比和伊博特的人生净值似乎不相上下)”可知，两人都获得了奥斯卡奖，达到了职业生涯的顶峰，即他们在事业上达到了相同的高度。故选B。 【98题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do.(爬山的人比坐公交车到山顶的人会经历更多的挣扎，但爬山的人也会有一种成就感，这是另一个人可能会羡慕的。从这个意义上说，我们可能会认为托比的生活更好，因为他的高峰似乎比伊博特的更值得)”可知，作者通过爬山的例子试图传达的是：辛苦得来的成功更受珍视。故选D。 【99题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference.(但这并不是全部。叙述本身似乎也有影响)”以及“Where the story ends seems to matter in itself.(故事的结局本身很重要)”并结合后文对生活叙述顺序的讨论可知，作者在写第四段是试图进一步论证前文提出的“生活形态”假说，即生活的叙述顺序也很重要。故选C。 【100题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中“This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order.(这种直接的判断体现在所谓的“生活形态”假说中。从这个观点来看，过上美好的生活不仅仅是拥有正确的经历或生活事件，而是以正确的顺序拥有它们)”可知，文章主要讨论了何为“美好生活”的形态，即美好生活不仅关乎经历的内容，还关乎经历的顺序。因此，B选项“Defining the Shape of a Good Life(定义美好生活的形态)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选B。 E “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioral levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 101. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Organizing thoughts. C. Recording spoken words. D. Ensuring fluency. 102. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A. It makes for logical statements. B. It ensures greater objectivity. C. It preserves knowledge longer. D. It requires “memorable thoughts”. 103. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A. To underline its logical structure. B. To contrast with online reading. C. To show its interactive feature. D. To highlight its cultural relevance. 104. What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity? A. Dismissive. B. Skeptical. C. Critical. D. Concerned. 105. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Writing, Reading, and Thinking: Why Literacy Matters More Than Ever. B. The Digital Age: How Technology Is Reshaping Our Minds. C. The Power of Writing: How Putting Pen to Paper Shapes Thought. D. The Decline of Reading: A Warning Against Digital Distraction. 【答案】101. B 102. A 103. C 104. D 105.

Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments.(口头文化必须“思考那些易于记忆的想法”，依靠韵律、情感和陈词滥调来保存知识。相比之下，书写则能够实现精确、复杂的表述，这些表述可以被审视、回顾，并进而发展成为逻辑严密的论证。)”可知，与口头文化相比，书写的表述精确，复杂，可以被审视和回顾，具有严密的逻辑论证，即，写作能形成精准、复杂、有逻辑的表达。故选A项。 【103题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.(阅读是一个主动的过程，需要投入精力和集中注意力 —— 本质上，它是与文本进行对话式的思考。)”可知，作者指出阅读是需要读者投入专注的主动过程，由此推知，“与文本对话”是形象的说法，意在说明阅读不是被动接收信息，而是读者主动和文本互动、开展思考的过程。故选C项。 【104题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段“As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning.(随着我们的文化日益被短视频和分散注意力的内容所主导，我们有可能丧失复杂推理的能力。)”可知，作者提出在短视频碎片化的背景下，人们有可能丧失复杂推理的能力。由此推知，作者对人们的推理能力表示担忧。故选D项。 【105题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，文章末尾段内容“Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds.(阅读和写作构成了严肃思考的基础——这一习惯将历史上最伟大的思想家们联系在一起。)”点明了文章的主旨核心，即，全文既论述了写作对深度思考的作用，也论述了阅读的价值，指出当前读写素养下降的现状，强调读写是严肃思考的基础，在数字时代愈发重要。选项A“Writing, Reading, and Thinking: Why Literacy Matters More Than Ever(写作、阅读与思考：为何识字能力比以往任何时候都更为重要)”覆盖全文三大核心内容，匹配主旨。故选A项。 F Most of us in the entrepreneurial community are blessed — or cursed — with higher-than-average ambition. Ambitious people strongly desire accomplishments and are willing to take more risks and spend more effort to get them. Overall, this is a positive quality, especially for people trying to build their own businesses. Apparently, if you’re more naturally driven to set goals, you are more likely to succeed. Actually, this isn’t always the case. In fact, in some cases, extreme ambition may end up doing more harm than good. One major side effect of excessive ambition is the tendency to focus too determinedly on one particular vision or end goal. This is problematic because it hinders your ability to adapt to new circumstances, which is vital if you want to be a successful entrepreneur. If a new competitor emerges to threaten your business, you may need to change direction, even if that means straying from your original vision. If you have too much ambition, you’ll find this hard, if not impossible. Few people are successful when they try to build their first brand. Unfortunately, for the most ambitious entrepreneurs, a failure is seen as disastrous, and impossible to recover from. It’s a clear departure from the intended plan toward the intended goal. For people with limited ambition, however, failure is viewed as something closer to reality. Remember, failure is inevitable, and every failure you survive is a learning experience. Ambitious people tend to be more materialistically successful than their non-ambitious counterparts. However, they’re only slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and tend to live significantly shorter lives. This implies that even though ambitious people are more likely to achieve conventional “success,” such success means nothing for their health and happiness — and if you don’t have health and happiness. what else could possibly matter? Clearly, some amount of ambition is good for your motivation. Without any ambition, you wouldn’t start your own business, set or achieve goals and get far in life. But an excess of ambition can also be dangerous, putting you at risk of burnout, stubbornness and even a shorter life. 106. What does the author think of most entrepreneurs? A. They are more willing to risk their own lives. B. They are more ambitious than ordinary people. C. They achieve greater nonconventional success. D. They have more positive qualities than most of us. 107. What does the author imply by saying “this isn’t always the case”? A. Ambitious people may not have a greater chance of success. B. Ambitious people may not have more positive qualities. C. Entrepreneurs’ ambition does as much good as harm. D. Entrepreneurs are more naturally driven to success. 108. If one wants to become a successful entrepreneur, he must _________. A. hold on to his original vision B. be able to adapt to new situations C. focus determinedly on one particular goal D. avoid radical change in one’s career direction 109. How do the most ambitious entrepreneurs regard failure in their endeavor? A. It will awaken them to reality. B. It is a lesson they have to learn. C. It means the end of their career. D. It will result in a slow recovery. 110. What does the author advise us to do concerning ambition? A. Distinguish between conventional success and our life goal. B. Follow the example of the most ambitious entrepreneurs. C. Avoid taking unnecessary risks when starting a business. D. Prioritize health and happiness over material success. 【答案】106. B 107. A 108. B 109. C 110. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，主要讲的是作者认为大多数企业家比普通人更有野心，然而事实上，在某些情况下，极端的野心最终可能弊大于利。 【106题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most of us in the entrepreneurial community are blessed — or cursed — with higher-than-average ambition.(我们创业圈中的大多数人都是幸运的——或者说不幸的是——他们有着高于平均水平的雄心壮志。)”可知，作者认为大多数企业家比普通人更有雄心壮志。故选B。 【107题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Apparently, if you’re more naturally driven to set goals, you are more likely to succeed. Actually, this isn’t always the case. In fact, in some cases, extreme ambition may end up doing more harm than good.(显然，如果你天生更倾向于设定目标，你就更有可能成功。但事实并非总是如此。事实上，在某些情况下，过度的野心最终可能弊大于利。)”可知，作者说“事实并非总是如此”这句话暗示了有野心的人不一定更有可能成功。故选A。 【108题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“One major side effect of excessive ambition is the tendency to focus too determinedly on one particular vision or end goal. This is problematic because it hinders your ability to adapt to new circumstances, which is vital if you want to be a successful entrepreneur.(过度的雄心所带来的一个主要副作用是，人们往往会过于坚定地专注于某个特定的愿景或最终目标。这确实是个问题，因为它会妨碍你适应新情况的能力，而如果你想要成为一名成功的企业家，适应新情况的能力是至关重要的。)”可知，极端的野心会阻碍成功，因为它可能会阻止企业家适应新环境，因此能够适应新的环境对成为一个成功的企业家至关重要。故选B。 【109题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unfortunately, for the most ambitious entrepreneurs, a failure is seen as disastrous, and impossible to recover from.(不幸的是，对于那些雄心勃勃的创业者来说，失败被视为灾难性的，而且是无法挽回的。)”可知，那些最具雄心壮志的创业者对于自己事业中的失败意味着他们职业生涯的终结。故选C。 110题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“This implies that even though ambitious people are more likely to achieve conventional “success,” such success means nothing for their health and happiness — and if you don’t have health and happiness. what else could possibly matter?(这表明，尽管有雄心的人更有可能获得传统意义上的“成功”，但这种成功对于他们的健康和幸福毫无意义——而如果没有健康和幸福，还有什么能真正重要呢？)”可知，作者建议我们把健康和快乐放在物质成功之前。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项：用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能使用修改液。 第三部分：写作 第一节、阅读表达 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Spending 27 years living alone while teaching students in a small, remote school would be a tough task for any ordinary person, let alone for a fingerless man. But Chen Haiping has done just that. The story of his selflessness has been held up as an example to all. Born without fingers or toes, Chen became a substitute teacher in 1990, as instructors in rural areas were in short supply at the time. “I was 23 then and nobody employed me after I graduated from middle school. The job provided me with a monthly salary of 50 yuan. I was very satisfied,” Chen said. To be a good teacher, he has overcome many obstacles. He had to get rid of his accent and make his Mandarin more standard to teach pinyin, the Chinese phonetic alphabet, and he got up early each day to attend a larger school 10 kilometers away to learn from teachers there before returning to his school before classes began. But his biggest challenge was writing on the chalkboard. Without fingers, he had to hold the chalk between his palms to write. “The process was torturous. I got blisters (水泡)on my palms, and the chalk always fell to the floor,” Chen recalled. Located on a hillside in Liulin County, his school only has six students; three of them are preschoolers. Chen teaches them all in the same classroom. The situation at Chen’s school is not unusual. As immigrant parents take their children with them to cities, fewer students attend village schools. In the early 2000s, some rural schools closed or merged (合并)to improve conditions. Most village children were sent to schools in towns or cities. A few were left in “ghost schools” like Chen’s. “The quality of education in ghost schools is not as good as that in bigger ones, but they are still important. Without them, some students would drop out,” Chen said, adding that this is part of the reason why he refuses to leave. “I will keep teaching even if there is only one student left,” he said. 111.

The job provided me with a monthly salary of 50 yuan. I was very satisfied,” Chen said.(陈天生没有手指和脚趾，1990年成为一名代课老师，当时农村地区师资短缺。“我那时23岁，中学毕业后没人雇佣我。这份工作每个月给我 50 块钱的薪水，我当时特别满足。” 陈海平说)”可知，陈海平中学毕业后成为了一名代课老师。故填He became a substitute teacher. 【112题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“He had to get rid of his accent and make his Mandarin more standard to teach pinyin, the Chinese phonetic alphabet, and he got up early each day to attend a larger school 10 kilometers away to learn from teachers there before returning to his school before classes began.(为了教汉语拼音，他不得不改掉口音，让自己的普通话更标准；他还每天早起前往10公里外的一所规模更大的学校，向那里的老师请教学习，再赶在上课前回到自己的学校)”及第四段中的“But his biggest challenge was writing on the chalkboard. Without fingers, he had to hold the chalk between his palms to write.(但他最大的挑战是在黑板上写字。没有手指，他只能把粉笔夹在掌心写字)”可知，他克服的障碍包括改口音、远赴他乡学习、无指握粉笔写字。故填He overcame his accent, traveled far to learn from other teachers, and mastered writing on the chalkboard without fingers. 【113题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第四段中的“The process was torturous. I got blisters (水泡)on my palms, and the chalk always fell to the floor(这个过程很torturous。我的手掌起了水泡，粉笔还总是掉在地上)”可知，无指握粉笔写字让他手掌起水泡，过程痛苦，由此猜测torturous意为“痛苦的”。故填Painful. 【114题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的““The quality of education in ghost schools is not as good as that in bigger ones, but they are still important. Without them, some students would drop out,” Chen said, adding that this is part of the reason why he refuses to leave.(““空心学校”的教育质量不如大学校，但它们仍然很重要。没有它们，一些学生就会辍学，”陈说，并补充说这是他拒绝离开的部分原因)”可知，陈海平坚持教书是为了防止部分学生辍学。故填To prevent some students from dropping out. 【115题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“Spending 27 years living alone while teaching students in a small, remote school would be a tough task for any ordinary person, let alone for a fingerless man. But Chen Haiping has done just that. The story of his selflessness has been held up as an example to all.(对任何普通人来说，在一所偏远的乡村小学校独自生活、教书27年，都是一项艰巨的任务，更不用说一个没有手指的人了。但陈海平却做到了这一点。他的无私事迹被树立为所有人的榜样)”可知，陈海平无私且坚韧，坚守偏远学校27年。故填He is selfless and persistent, because he teaches alone in a remote school for 27 years. 第二节、书面训练 116. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。学校英文报“社会观察”栏目正在征稿。请根据你查询到的以下国内旅游数据，写一篇短文投稿。 Domestic Tourism in China (2024) 2024 Data Year-on-Year Growth Number of Trips (出游人次) 5.615 billion +14.8% Total Spending (出游总花费) 5.75 trillion yuan +17.1% 内容包括： (1)描述数据反映的现象； (2)分析该现象产生的原因（如收入提高、交通便利、政策支持等）； (3)谈谈你的看法。 注意： (1)词数不少于100； (2)可适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 A Great Increase in Domestic Tourism ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A Great Increase in Domestic Tourism The chart shows a great increase in China’s domestic tourism in 2024. There were 5.615 billion trips, up 14.8% from 2023. Total spending reached 5.75 trillion yuan, a rise of 17.1%. This growth results from several factors. First, people’s incomes have increased, allowing more travel budgets. Second, the transport network has expanded, making travel easier. Finally, government policies encourage tourism development. In my view, this trend benefits both society and individuals. It boosts economic growth and creates jobs. For ordinary people, traveling enriches their lives and reduces stress. I hope this positive trend continues, bringing more color to our lives. A Great Increase in Domestic Tourism The chart clearly shows a great increase in China’s domestic tourism in 2024. There were 5.615 billion trips, 14.8% higher than in 2023. The total spending reached 5.75 trillion yuan, a rise of 17.1%. Several reasons explain this phenomenon. First, with incomes rising, more families can afford to travel. Second, the development of transportation, like high-speed railways, has made traveling faster and easier. Also, government support has played an important role. I believe this trend is very positive. It helps to develop the economy and create job opportunities. For individuals, traveling is a good way to relax and learn about different cultures. Therefore, this is a positive cycle that benefits both society and people. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生根据表格显示的国内旅游数据向校英文报“社会观察”栏目写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 表明：show → suggest/indicate 解释：explain → account for 支出，花销：spending → expense/expenditure 重要的：important → vital 2.句式拓展 同义句 原句：I believe this trend is very positive. 拓展句：I have a strong belief that this trend is very positive. 【点睛】【高分句型1】 First, with incomes rising, more families can afford to travel.（运用了with复合结构） 【高分句型2】 Therefore, this is a positive cycle that benefits both society and people.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
