Grammar and Vocabulary Section A(10') Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank. A quilt with a History While visiting my husband's relatives years ago, I admired his Auntie Doris' collection of hand stitched(手工缝纫的) quilt. (1) stood out from the rest was a particularly pretty one. Auntie explained that every piece of the quilt (2) (cut)from her favourite clothes and represented an important moment in her life. "This is from a blouse I wore to the very first picture show I ever saw,"she said. Her stories went on. When it was time(3) (leave), she presented me with her valued quilt. I began retelling this story to my 12-year-old granddaughter, (4) some worries. Maybe children(5) (raise)in the 21st century wouldn't be interested in an old lady's talking about an old quilt, but I wanted to pass along this piece of family history. To my surprise, my granddaughter loved it, after I explained why old clothes were made quilts. This opened the door to(6) (describe) how mothers passed along the knowledge of cooking, gardening and sewing to their daughters to ensure that their daughters would be well-armed to face life's demands. In turn, my granddaughter explained how modern mothers pass on knowledge of computers, college and financial planning to ensure their daughters' success. Surprised by how much my granddaughter had to teach me, I thought about the days (7) multi-generations of families lived under one roof. Sharing knowledge and history (8) have been a daily occurrence at that time. Multi-generational homes may be rarer now, but we can use new ways to promote the love shared by grandparents and grandchildren have always shared. As long as we continue to teach and learn from each other, we can build closeness,(9) they are generations or thousands of miles apart. It can be anything-computer, cooking, gardening, maybe even a young lady's story told in a quilt---that brings you far (10) (close)to those you love. Section B(10') Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need. A.anchor B.comparing C.calorie D charge .E.operator F.calculate G. insufficient H. live I plug J.specializing K. tailor-made Carbon labelling isn't new, but it is gaining a lot more traction of late --- especially when it comes to travel. Carbon labels should be an easy way of (11) products or services to see which are most sustainable at a glance, by providing a comprehensive, numbered footprint. Increasing numbers of businesses across a variety of sectors are getting onboard with the idea. For example, in the last month alone, exercise tracking app Strava announced a new tool to (12)____ carbon savings from going for runs, walks, cycles and e-bike rides. But perhaps one of the industries in which the concept could be most complicated is travel. It is one of the most carbon-intensive recreational activities any of us will ever take, and one for which the majority of us have(13) ideas of the impact. If you break it all down,which is really worse: an all-inclusive cruise round the Bahamas? Or a trip to an eco-lodge in Costa Rica that involves a 24-hour round-trip on a plane? As an ordinary individual, it feels like an impossible task to figure out if one holiday is "better"than another. Many a pioneering(14) started doing the hard work of measuring the impact of trips, down to the smallest element, and posting the results on their packages several years ago. Much Better Adventures led the (15) , trailing the idea at the beginning of 2021--- the first international travel company to do so. "Do I think it will be everywhere? I do," Sam Bruce, the business's co-founder, told me at the time. "It should go beyond travel and they should be on all products that we buy; carbon labels should be the new (16) . In Much Better Adventures' case, the label includes carbon emissions from all local transport, accommodation, activities, guides, staff and office operations. Pura Aventura, (17) in holidays to Latin America, Spain and Portugal, wasn't far behind, though with a different slant."The complexity we have is that all our trips are(18)_____ ---so we can't say we've got 50 trips and let's measure the carbon of each one,"said co-founder and CEO Thomas Power."Every trip is different. You need a (19) tool--- so we built it into our database." The company doesn't just measure the trip itself, but includes the travel to get there, door-to-door: "We want to know where you live, where the airport is, which flight you're taking,"says Thomas."We can (20) into the database your postcode, Gatwick airport, your short-haul flight---and then the carbon factor calculates the journey and the amount of carbon produced. III. Reading Comprehension Section A(15') Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People believe that having pets is overall a good thing for children. But does this belief hold up to (21) ? The new field of human-animal interaction aims to find out. Ten years ago, when psychologist Joan Smith reviewed the literature on child-animal relationships, she reported that interacting with animals led young children to better understand biology than pet-less children. Kindergartners who had cared for goldfish were more (22)_____ when responding to questions like "does a goldfish have a heart?" They also more easily (23) ______ biological information from one species to another, inferring that baby frogs get bigger just like goldfish do. She also reports that those kids who turned to their pets for emotional support were less (24) than these who didn't. The past ten years have seen some advances, but literature on the topic is still rather(25) . A recent paper by researcher Meg Brown at Lakeside University(26) some important information to the discussion. She turned to a data-set that includes information from 7, 000 kids, ranging in (27) from thirteen to nineteen years. For the study, both pet owning and other types of (28) activities, like horseback riding, were considered as human-animal interaction experience. She found that adolescents with animal experience were more likely to see themselves as important (29) to their communities, such as doing community service. She also found that the higher the level of (30) between a teenager and animals, the higher they scored on measurements of emotional connectedness in general. While causality(因果关系)cannot be determined, Brown says that it is at least (31) that children and adolescents can learn about healthy social relationships from their experiences of interacting with animals.“If a connection exists between the skills required for these relationships, then it might be useful to make use of animal relationships as a way to(32) the development of social skills,"she says. Brown is aware of the limitations of her study. It can't reach any conclusions about the causal role of animals in kids' lives, and it's limited to (33) nationwide. Besides, the study was not designed to (34) any potential negative effects of human-animal interaction experiences. Some other studies, for example, have shown that pet owners have higher levels of (35) , like depression, than non-pet owners. 21.A. common sense B.scientific evidence C.universal assumptions D. natural tendencies 22.A.enthusiastic B.curious C.accurate D.serious 23.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) A friend living in St. Thomas recently marked herself "safe” on social media for the second time in two weeks. She was safe in only the most critical sense that she was alive. Her home and her business had been reduced to broken bricks. Puerto Rico has been destroyed by hurricanes. Last month, hundreds died in Mexican earthquakes. Hurricane Irma hit the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Florida Keys, and laid waste to Barbuda. Harvey devastated parts of Texas. Fifteen separate fires have turned thousands of Northern California homes and businesses to dust and smoked out neighboring cities. Closer to us, the Anaheim Hills fire has laid waste to nearly 6,000 acres. That number will be higher tomorrow. And about tomorrow: what might it bring? A swarm of locusts(蝗虫)？ My friend referred to "natural" or "man-made" disasters as distinct phenomena. Certainly, "natural"disasters and "man-made" disasters long preceded(先于) the industrial revolution. But unprecedented hurricanes and wildfires are not simply the hand of God or nature--- they are also the hand of man and his machines, which create conditions in which such natural disasters can spark and spread. Meanwhile, wars are often fought over or worsened by a scarcity of natural resources. "Natural" and "man-made"are now more like a Venn diagram than two separate circles which orbit each other. There is little comfort or clarity to be found in this knit space; the feeling is closer to dread. Our best hope may be to stay kind to ourselves and others, to acknowledge that we will fight and break a little easier, to hold those troubled by catastrophe(灾难)in our thoughts and not turn away from them, to remember that ---as much as our minds might want to deny it--- we too will need help. Climate change will harm us personally; it will harm our successors, those we love; that person on the news today, covered in debris or wading(跋涉) through water, may well be us tomorrow. It's a mean truth, but there's compassion to be obtained from it. Disaster, if we let it, can teach us that we who have not yet suffered are not untouchable; we are not special; we are lucky. And luck runs out. 36. Some factual examples are used to illustrate natural disasters in the first three paragraphs EXCEPT____ A. fires in Northern California B.earthquakes in Mexico C. hurricanes in Puerto Rico D.locusts in parts of Texas 37. What does the author think of natural and man-made disasters? A. Earthquakes, floods, wildfires and other disasters are simply the call of God. B. Natural and man-made disasters are disturbingly interconnected with each other. C. There is scarcely a connection between the circles of“natural”and“man-made”. D. The hand of man and his machines didn't spark wars until the industrial revolution. 38. In face of disasters, the author maintains that hopefully we might____ A. realize we humans are unlikely to beat B. turn away from environmental protection C.extend our compassion to disaster victims D.stay informed of news about catastrophes 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. What Natural Disasters Can Teach Us B. We Are Running Out of Luck in Nature C.The Countdown to a Catastrophic Disaster D.Climate Change Harms All Beings Equally (B) Colors are undeniably a fundamental part of our lives. Yet they carry meanings far beyond mere shades --- they are deeply symbolic. Across many cultures, and particularly in the practice of Feng Shui, colors are associated with the five foundational elements that compose the universe: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. This connection is given special significance because each of the eight directions---North,South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest --- is governed by one of these five elements. Therefore, colors, as South representations of the elements, can be purposefully used to influence and harmonize the energy of a particular space or direction. Understanding the role of color in Feng Shui is not only about aesthetics(美学)；it reflects a broader global awareness of how color interacts with environment and energy. But remember, while these systems offer symbolic guidance, true harmony begins with listening to your own feelings and taking action in your own space. 40. Which diagram correctly represents the relationship among colors, directions and elements? 41. David has recently been feeling stuck in his promotion progress and lacks new opportunities. Which of the following adjustments would be most suitable for him? A.Using a red desk lamp on his south facing desk. B. Placing a green plant in the east part of his living room. C. Displaying a black vase in the north area of his home office. D. Hanging a white metal clock in the west corner or his workspace. 42. Placing a silver trame mirror in the Northwest area of your home is most suitable for someone wishes to___ A.ensure safe and smooth journeys abroad B. support the growth and creativity of children C. enhance family unity and solve domestic conflicts D. improve wisdom and deepen academic knowledge (C) Have you ever felt out of place at a party or profoundly misunderstood by a colleague, friend, or partner? This feeling of being unable to communicate your intended information is what psychologist Carl Jung referred to when he said that loneliness comes not from being alone, but from being"unable to communicate the things that seem important to you." While such a failure to connect is sometimes owed to poor social skills, there are also other reasons. The specific experience of feeling separate and alone in one's thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them is known as epistemic loneliness(认知型孤独). Psychologists define epistemic loneliness as the inability to share "the richer mental aspects" of one's life. To put it another way, it strikes when a person's unique cognitive world---formed by their specific abilities and deep intellectual interests---finds no echo in others. This is the profound frustration of being mentally “all dressed up but with nowhere to go”. A musician composing a new piece, an educator polishing their teaching philosophy, or a researcher analyzing groundbreaking data all risk this loneliness when their intellectual excitement is met with disinterest from those around them. The frustration of such intellectual divorce is profound, yet a genuine connection is possible. For instance, my conversation with an English professor proved to be resonant and meaningful. This published poet and pianist and I discussed the idea of making complex ideas and experiences something more easily understood by our students, clients, and readers. Because we built bridges to meet one another via shared experiences and backgrounds (I am also a musician who is familiar with music theory and we are both educators), cognitive isolation was not experienced that evening. This is not to say that being cognitively connected with others is the only fix to this type of loneliness. Everyone has thoughts, stories, and experiences to share, and as both a nonprofessional and a helping professional, I am happy to hear them. But not everyone in our lives is willing or able to share their thoughts in response to ours. Therefore, a like-minded other, or someone who"gets" it or "gets"us, goes a long way toward eliminating this specific kind of loneliness. Jung's insight points the way forward: we must seek out those moments where we can speak about what matters most to us and, in doing so, be seen and known for who we are. Ultimately,dancing in dialogue is key. Having a fellow knower who is willing to meet you halfway and who knows some of the steps, or is interested in learning a few new ones, can reduce this type of loneliness. 43. According to the passage, which of the following best describes"epistemic loneliness"? A. The frustration of failing to express complex thoughts clearly. B. The inability to share intellectual life with receptive audience. C. The objective condition of having no one to communicate with. D. The emotional distress caused by a lack of shared social identity. 44.Why does the author mention the conversation with the English professor? A. To contrast academic dialogue with everyday conversation. B. To advocate for structured solutions to intellectual isolation. C. To highlight the scarcity of genuine intellectual connections. D. To illustrate how shared backgrounds eases social loneliness. 45. The metaphor of "dancing in dialogue" is used to suggest that meaningful communication____ A. is a mutually responsive and adaptive exchange B.depends more on one party's expressive skills C. functions like a performance for passive audiences D. benefits from established conversational patterns 46. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To contrast social isolation with psychological loneliness. B. To analyze the philosophical origins of Carl Jung's theories. C. To define a type of loneliness and explore ways to address it. D. To promote the professional methods of psychological consulting. Section C(8') Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. But domestic movies increasingly have outperformed Hollywood fare in China. B. Analysts said this move would have only a limited impact, given the declining influence of foreign films in China. C. As of Monday morning Beijing time, the local box office total for"Zootopia 2” had reached 1.95 billion yuan in its first six days of release. D. Its runaway success in China is particularly notable given the changing environment for foreign films in China since the first "Zootopia" film was released. E. The film's universal appeal has set a new benchmark for Disney's global animation strategy. F. Local media coverage has been positive since its Shanghai premiere, speaking highly of the film's visual effects. SHANGHAI, Dec 1 (Reuters) --Disney's "Zootopia 2" became the highest-grossing animated foreign film ever in China, despite generally muted interest in overseas movies in the country. (47)________ "It is Disney's most important movie in China this year, for sure," said Ashley Dudarenok,founder of China digital consultancy Chozan, with its themes of personal resilience and societal harmony resonating with local audiences. "Zootopia 2" sales accounted for around 95% of all movie ticket sales over its opening weekend. (48) The original “Zootopia'” also became China's most popular foreign animated film when it was released in 2016. Hollywood films were caught up earlier this year in the U.S.-China trade war. Beijing curbed the number of U.S. films that were allowed to be shown in China in response to higher tariffs on Chinese goods. (49) Hollywood studios once looked to China, the world's second-largest film market, to help boost their box office performances. (50) Earlier this year, local animation"Ne Zha 2”eclipsed(使失色). Pixar's “Inside Out 2” to become the world's highest-grossing animated film of all time after raking in nearly $2 billion at the Chinese box office. Even so, Disney seemed confident that "Zootopia 2” would find a significant audience in China, with Chief Executive Bob Iger traveling to Shanghai for a local premiere(首映) a fortmight ago. In addition, Disney partnered with China Eastern Airlines on a "Zootopia 2" themed plane. And the Shanghai Disneyland resort is home to the world's only "Zootopia" themed land,which opened in 2023 to capitalize on local affection for the original film. IV.

The thoughts of some of you might be focused on post-school classes and rightfully so. However, it is often not enough to have good academic results in order to impress people with your CV(个人简历). After-school activities are also of greater importance.
