There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 41. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A. She wanted mom to read the news to her. B.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者自幼受母亲影响爱上阅读，童年借阅读满足求知欲，求学时偏爱纪实文字，成年后读小说逃离复杂现实，一生与阅读相伴成长。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew.( 听到妈妈说：“我简直不敢相信今天早上报纸上刊登的内容。”这让我想要从她手中抢过那张报纸自己读起来。我想像着自己也能像妈妈那样知晓她所知道的一切。)”可知，作者想要从妈妈手中夺过报纸是因为她急于想知道发生了什么。故选B项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.( 我在阅读方面的进步激发了我的好奇心，我想要了解一切。我经常忍不住告诉妈妈要慢点开车，这样我就能看清我们经过的每一个路标了。)”可知，作者对路标的解读表明了她愈发渴望了解周围的世界。故选A项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.( 我喜欢的是那些具体的、实实在在的东西。我认为任何抽象的东西都留有太多可以争论的空间。)”可推知，作者偏爱纪实类阅读，因为事实具体、确凿，能提供真实客观的信息，区别于易引发争议的抽象内容。故选B项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character.( 然而，随着我的成长，我曾经认为简单的世界如今变得越来越复杂，我发现自己需要一种逃避的方式。通过翻开一本小说，我可以抛开自己的负担，进入一个奇妙而神秘的世界，在这个世界里，我变成了一个全新的角色。)”可知，作者将阅读小说视为逃离混乱世界的一种方式。故选D项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless(我们被教导要阅读，因为这对于人类的大部分理解是必要的。阅读是我生活中至关重要的一部分。阅读满足了我不断学习的欲望。而且我发现书中蕴含的可能性是无限的。)”可知，文章主要讲的是作者自幼受母亲影响爱上阅读，童年借阅读满足求知欲，求学时偏爱纪实文字，成年后读小说逃离复杂现实，一生与阅读相伴成长。由此可知，这篇文章的最佳标题是“在阅读中成长”。故选D项。 C Stained glass (彩色玻璃) artists create different designs by making cuts on the glass to “score” it and then breaking off the pattern that they want to use in the finished product. The most difficult cut in stained glass is called an inside cut. Basically, it’s a curved (弯曲的) line where you throw away the part inside of the curve. The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart. As the artist talked about inside cuts, he said, “The glass will break into pieces if you try to cut too much off at once. The best way to do an inside cut is to slice off smaller curves piece-by-piece. In fact, it’s not just the best way to do it, but it’s the only way to do it.” How many times do you try to make a big change and cut the entire piece at once? We convince ourselves that we can do this all the time. We’ll commit to transforming our diet overnight or we get inspired to launch a business in a weekend or we finally get motivated to work out and push ourselves to the edge of burning out. Why not approach your goals and dreams like a stained glass artist? Starting by slicing a shallow curve and breaking a small piece off, you cut a slightly deeper curve and break that off until you have your full inside cut. By slowly cutting deeper and deeper curves, you prevent the glass from breaking as it changes shape. Of course, change isn’t easy — no matter how you do it. Slow gains are boring, but if we keep making small improvements, then pretty soon we will end up with a beautiful masterpiece on our hands instead of a bunch of broken pieces. 46. Why is an inside cut believed to be most difficult? A. It needs a one-and-only design. B. It calls for nothing but inspiration. C. The edges of the curve break easily. D. The glass inside the curve is easily broken. 47. What mistakes are easily made according to paragraph 3? A. Being too eager to make improvements. B. Being too worried about the final outcome. C. Trying to make a complete change all at once. D. Trying to focus on progress instead of achievements. 48. What does the author suggest by saying “slicing a shallow curve”？ A. Moving forward with a clear aim. B. Starting slow and improving little by little. C. Developing a new habit with great determination. D. Handling something major first and ignore the minor part. 49. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show his love of stained glass. B. To introduce the skill of an inside cut. C. To appreciate designs of stained glass artists. D. To share his opinions on how to make a change. 【答案】46. C 47. C 48. B 49. D 【解析】 【分析】试题分析：本文是一篇议论文。作者通过讲述玻璃艺术家切割玻璃的方式：慢慢的切割不造成玻璃破碎，告诉读者生活中我们也应该一点点取得进步，最后达成目标，获得成功。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart.”可知，内部切割的问题在于，当刻划过的玻璃裂开的时候，曲线的边缘往往会折断。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“How many times do you try to make a big change and cut the entire piece at once? We convince ourselves that we can do this all the time.”可知，我们很容易犯的错误是试图一次就做出彻底的改变。故选C。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文“Why not approach your goals and dreams like a stained glass artist?”可推断，作者建议像一个彩色玻璃艺术家一样接近目标和梦想，结合一、二段的讲述可推断，画线句的意思是：慢慢开始，一点点进步，每次一小块，逐渐稍微大一点直到完全切开整个里面。故选B。 【49题详解】 写作目的题。纵观全文可知，最后一段点明了作者的写作目的，改变不容易，如果你保持小的进步，很快我们会完成我们的杰作而不满地碎片。因此推断本文的写作目的是为了共享做出改变的观点。故选D。 D At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully. However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 50. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 51. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By proving focus enhances brain function. B. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 52. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. C. It causes stress and false ideas about success. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 53. What can be inferred about the participants in the experiment? A. Their brain activity rose as tasks grew more challenging. B. They were students from a top university. C. They could easily tell similar colors apart. D. Their learning process was not valued by the researchers. 54. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. 【答案】50. D 51. B 52. C 53. A 54. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“斯坦福鸭子综合征”现象及其影响，并强调努力的重要性。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully. However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up.(在顶尖大学里，有一种现象被称为“斯坦福鸭子综合症”。就像鸭子一样，学生们表面上看起来从容不迫。然而在表面之下，他们却在拼命蹬水以求跟上)”和第二段中“However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success.(然而，到了晚上，他们开始学习，有时一整夜，试图保持毫不费力的成功形象)”可知，“斯坦福鸭子综合征”描述的是学生表面看似轻松，实则暗中拼命努力以显得天资出众的现象。故选D项。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.(为了挑战这一误解，研究人员设计了一项实验。参与者被要求仔细观察一系列颜色，科学家则全程追踪他们的大脑活动。实验分为两部分：一部分是容易区分的颜色，另一部分是极其相似、需要更费力辨别的颜色。随着任务难度的增加，大脑活动显著增强，尤其是在与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域)”和第四段“The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort.(研究表明，当任务需要更多努力时，大脑中更多区域会被调动起来。成长不仅来自天赋，更来自持续的努力)”可推知，实验通过展示任务越困难、大脑活动越活跃，直接证明了努力能够促进大脑运转，从而反驳了第二段中提到的“真正的天才很容易成功”的错误观念。故选B项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable.(这带来了高昂的代价：疲劳和焦虑普遍存在。此外，它还导致了一种普遍的错误观念：真正的天才轻松获得成功，而努力的人则能力较差)”可知，作者对“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的主要担忧在于它给学生带来的身心压力以及对成功的错误认知。故选C项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity(随着任务难度的增加，大脑活动明显增强)”可知，实验参与者在任务难度提高时，大脑活动也随之增强。由此可推断出，他们的脑活动随任务挑战性增加而上升。故选A项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort.(成长不仅来自天赋，更来自持续的努力)”和最后一段中“By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work.(通过倡导重视努力的文化，我们可以帮助学生认识到智力并非一成不变，而是通过努力得以增长)”可知，作者强调努力的价值和意义。D项“汗水是书写杰作的墨水”体现了努力是成就的关键，符合作者观点。故选D项。 Ⅱ卷（共两部分，共35分） 五、阅读表达：（共5道小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. This is exactly the case for Holly Smith, 34, from Surrey, when she lost her job two years ago. At the beginning of 2020, Holly was working as a general manager for a small independent bakery business in Surrey. She had been there six years and couldn’t believe it when they told her she had to pack up her bags and leave. Being made redundant came as a huge shock for her and she panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time. Holly didn’t know where to turn initially, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a portrait of her parent’s dog, a Spinone Italiano named Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off. Holly named her business Holly & Murphy, after her special five-year-old cocker spaniel, Murphy. She is often at her most creative when she’s floating on water, together with her furry companion in her boat. She combines watercolour paints and pencils to bring dogs’ faces to life. A small painting usually takes two to three days to complete. Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in great detail. Some of the most memorable paintings she has been asked to do are of dogs that have passed away. Her dog portraits start at £295 and can cost up to £595. “When it first happened, it felt like the end of the world,” Holly, a current full-time painter and business owner, told The Mirror, “but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I’m so grateful to have a job that I love.” 55. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2? (no more than 3 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 56. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What do Holly’s customers love her paintings about? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. How does Holly feel about the big change in life? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What have you learned from Holly and her story? (No more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】55. Unemployed. 56. After Holly painted a dog’s portrait and shared it online, her career took off. 57. Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in detail. 58. Holly feels grateful and considers the change the best thing that happened to her. 59. We learn that loss can lead to new beginnings and that passion can turn into a fulfilling career. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Holly突然被公司解雇后，陷入困境，后来她以为宠物画肖像重新出发，广受好评，迎来了崭新的事业。 【55题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据画线词的上文“She had been there six years and couldn’t believe it when they told her she had to pack up her bags and leave. (她在那里待了六年，当他们告诉她必须收拾行李离开时，她简直不敢相信)”和下文“Being made redundant came as a huge shock for her and she panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time. (被redundant对她来说是一个巨大的打击，她非常恐慌，担心在这样的艰难时期里难以支付账单和找到新工作)”可知，此处在描述Holly失业时的情况，失业让她受到巨大打击，她的处境很艰难，推测划线单词表示“被解雇，被裁员”。故答案为Unemployed。 【56题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第三段“Holly didn’t know where to turn initially, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a portrait of her parent’s dog, a Spinone Italiano named Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off. (起初，Holly不知道该转向何处，但她决心要找到一线希望，于是她拿起画笔开始绘画。Holly画了她父母的狗 —— 一只名为Bailey的意大利斯皮诺猎犬的肖像，并将这幅画分享到了网上。紧接着，几个朋友请求她也为他们的宠物作画，很快她的职业生涯就起飞了)”可知，本段主要讲述了在Holly画了一只狗的肖像并将其分享到网上之后，她的职业生涯开始腾飞。故答案为After Holly painted a dog’s portrait and shared it online, her career took off. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in great detail. (顾客喜欢她如何细致地捕捉宠物的个性)”可知，Holly的顾客喜欢她的画作，是因为她能细致地捕捉到他们宠物的个性。故答案为Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in detail. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段““When it first happened, it felt like the end of the world,” Holly, a current full-time painter and business owner, told The Mirror, “but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I’m so grateful to have a job that I love.” (“当这一切刚开始发生时，感觉像是世界末日，”如今身为全职画家和企业主的Holly告诉《镜报》，“但这却是我身上发生的最好的事情。我很感激能够拥有一份我热爱的工作”)”可知，Holly感到非常感激，并认为这次改变是发生在她身上最好的事情。故答案为Holly feels grateful and considers the change the best thing that happened to her. 【59题详解】 开放性题目。答案不唯一，合理即可。我们了解到，失去可以带来新的开始，激情可以变成一份充实的职业。故答案为We learn that loss can lead to new beginnings and that passion can turn into a fulfilling career. 六、书面表达：（满分25分） 60. 当下，科技正以前所未有的速度改变着我们的生活。假设你是李津，有意参加你校将举办的科技交流活动。请以“Technology and Lifestyles”为题，写一篇演讲稿，内容如下： 1.科技的重要性； 2.举例说明科技对人类生活的积极影响； 3.你对科技应用的态度。 注意：字数在100字左右，适当扩充细节。 Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Li Jin.

Where can you most probably read this passage? A. In the latest news. B. In a children’s book. C. In a travel guide. D. In a sportsman’s diary. B I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 41. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A. She wanted mom to read the news to her. B. She was anxious to know what had happened. C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 42. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________. A. her growing desire to know the world around her B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D. her unique way to locate herself 43. What was the author’s view on factual reading? A. It would help her update test-taking skills. B. It would provide true and objective information. C. It would allow much room for free thinking. D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 44. The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A. explore a fantasy land B. develop a passion for learning C. learn about the adult community D. get away from a confusing world 45. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Magic of Reading B. The Pleasure of Reading C. Reading Makes a Full Man D. Growing Up with Reading C Stained glass (彩色玻璃) artists create different designs by making cuts on the glass to “score” it and then breaking off the pattern that they want to use in the finished product. The most difficult cut in stained glass is called an inside cut. Basically, it’s a curved (弯曲的) line where you throw away the part inside of the curve. The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart. As the artist talked about inside cuts, he said, “The glass will break into pieces if you try to cut too much off at once. The best way to do an inside cut is to slice off smaller curves piece-by-piece. In fact, it’s not just the best way to do it, but it’s the only way to do it.” How many times do you try to make a big change and cut the entire piece at once? We convince ourselves that we can do this all the time. We’ll commit to transforming our diet overnight or we get inspired to launch a business in a weekend or we finally get motivated to work out and push ourselves to the edge of burning out. Why not approach your goals and dreams like a stained glass artist? Starting by slicing a shallow curve and breaking a small piece off, you cut a slightly deeper curve and break that off until you have your full inside cut. By slowly cutting deeper and deeper curves, you prevent the glass from breaking as it changes shape. Of course, change isn’t easy — no matter how you do it. Slow gains are boring, but if we keep making small improvements, then pretty soon we will end up with a beautiful masterpiece on our hands instead of a bunch of broken pieces. 46. Why is an inside cut believed to be most difficult? A. It needs a one-and-only design. B. It calls for nothing but inspiration. C. The edges of the curve break easily. D. The glass inside the curve is easily broken. 47. What mistakes are easily made according to paragraph 3? A. Being too eager to make improvements. B. Being too worried about the final outcome. C. Trying to make a complete change all at once. D. Trying to focus on progress instead of achievements. 48. What does the author suggest by saying “slicing a shallow curve”？ A. Moving forward with a clear aim. B. Starting slow and improving little by little. C. Developing a new habit with great determination. D. Handling something major first and ignore the minor part. 49. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show his love of stained glass. B. To introduce the skill of an inside cut. C. To appreciate designs of stained glass artists. D. To share his opinions on how to make a change. D At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully. However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 50. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 51. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By proving focus enhances brain function. B. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 52. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. C. It causes stress and false ideas about success. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 53. What can be inferred about the participants in the experiment? A. Their brain activity rose as tasks grew more challenging. B. They were students from a top university. C. They could easily tell similar colors apart. D. Their learning process was not valued by the researchers. 54. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. Ⅱ卷（共两部分，共35分） 五、阅读表达：（共5道小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. This is exactly the case for Holly Smith, 34, from Surrey, when she lost her job two years ago. At the beginning of 2020, Holly was working as a general manager for a small independent bakery business in Surrey. She had been there six years and couldn’t believe it when they told her she had to pack up her bags and leave. Being made redundant came as a huge shock for her and she panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time. Holly didn’t know where to turn initially, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a portrait of her parent’s dog, a Spinone Italiano named Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off. Holly named her business Holly & Murphy, after her special five-year-old cocker spaniel, Murphy. She is often at her most creative when she’s floating on water, together with her furry companion in her boat. She combines watercolour paints and pencils to bring dogs’ faces to life. A small painting usually takes two to three days to complete. Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in great detail. Some of the most memorable paintings she has been asked to do are of dogs that have passed away. Her dog portraits start at £295 and can cost up to £595. “When it first happened, it felt like the end of the world,” Holly, a current full-time painter and business owner, told The Mirror, “but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I’m so grateful to have a job that I love.” 55. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
