【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】 W: As I grew up, I discovered many people believe a woman can either have a career or be a good mother, but my mother is both things. A lot of my friends are constantly stressing how pursuing their careers will impact their children later in life. But it’s strange to me because these conversations seem to focus on the negative effects instead of the positive ones. I find this strange because I’m living proof of the positive. Because I grew up with a career-centered mother, I think differently about gender inequality. When my parents are at home, they take on all the responsibilities together. As a result, I’ve never seen traditional gender roles in our house. A study by Harvard surveyed 50,000 adults and found that having a working mother can actually convey positive gender attitudes to children. This study also found that daughters of working mothers have more fulfilling careers, enjoy higher pay and have more equal relationships than those raised by stay-at-home mothers.
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Classical music
Classical music was the music of European courts and big concert hats. Specifically, classical music refers to orchestral music of the 18th and early 19th century, which is played with traditional European instruments, often in large orchestras. Beethoven and Mozart are two of the most famous classical composers.
Blues
Blues started off as the music of the African slaves who were brought to the United States, closely related to the music of West Africa. It became well-known throughout the world through musicians such as Moody Waters and B.B. King. In many ways, blues remains an important element in many of today’s popular tunes.
Jazz
Jazz grew out of blues. As with blues, one of the important elements of jazz is improvisation (即兴演奏). Improvisation happens when a musician plays unwritten music to fit the mood of the occasion. One of the most famous names in jazz is Miles Davis. He was famous for always finding new ways of playing jazz, and for many people, this represented the spirit of jazz.
Rock’n’roll and rock
Rock’n’roll developed from fast blues. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were the big names in rock’n’roll and the Beatles in England took the music and made their own sounds from it. When the guitars got louder and the guitar solos (独奏) got longer, rock’n’roli became just rock. Now rock is one of the most popular forms of music in the world and its fans can be found all over the world.
Creating new music
Today, these names of music styles are less important to musicians. Radio, television and the Internet have made it easier for sounds to travel across cultures, and styles have become more mixed. If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown, it is that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear.
21. Which is still a vital part in today’s popular tunes?
A. Blues. B. Jazz. C. Classical music. D. Rock’n’roll and rock.
22. Which of the following persons is famous for Rock music?
A. Mozart. B. Moody Waters. C. Miles Davis. D. Elvis Presley.
23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The technological development limits the spread of music.
B. It’s easier for different music to maintain their own unique styles.
C. The best musicians attach importance to the names of music styles.
D. New music by good musicians can gain its place in the history of popular music.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,主要讲的是几种不同音乐风格的历史、特点以及它们对现代音乐的影响。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Blues部分的“In many ways, blues remains an important element in many of today’s popular tunes.(在许多方面,蓝调仍然是当今许多流行曲调的重要元素。)”可知,在今天的流行曲调中,蓝调仍然是至关重要的一部分。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Rock’n’roll and rock部分的“Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were the big names in rock’n’roll and the Beatles in England took the music and made their own sounds from it.(Chuck Berry和Elvis Presley是摇滚界的大明星,而英国的Beatles乐队则将这种音乐发扬并创造出自己的声音。)”可知,Elvis Presley以摇滚乐闻名。故选D。
23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown, it is that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear.(如果流行音乐的历史表明了一件事,那就是好的音乐家总是会从他们听到的不同风格中创造新的音乐。)”可知,优秀音乐家的新音乐可以在流行音乐史上占有一席之地。故选D。
B
Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of.
My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown.
The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort.
Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”
I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can.
We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.
24. What does the author think of her present life?
A. She enjoys making new friends.
B. She feels more struggles over aging process.
C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises.
D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences.
25. What message does the story of the sparrow convey?
A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time.
B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world.
C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result.
D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems.
26. Which of the following can best describe Neshama?
A. Healthy and cautious.
B. Caring and responsible.
C. Cooperative and modest.
D. Educated and committed.
27. What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age?
A. Love and acts of service bring true richness in life.
B. Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth.
C. Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals.
D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及的经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景,以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法,强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? (人生的游戏很艰难,我们很多人都在带着伤痛前行。我为这个世界感到心痛,但自然而然地,我更多的是在关注自己的内心世界,在那里,平衡与力量正开始消逝。当我们步入老年,就像老旧的电梯缓缓下降,我们能做些什么呢?)”可知,作者觉得生活艰难,随着年龄增长面临诸多困扰,也就是在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。所以她觉得自己当下的生活是她感觉在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. (马大笑起来,“这太有趣了。你有多重呢?”麻雀回答说:“一个人能做什么就做什么。”这就是衰老的意义;我们做自己力所能及的事。)”可知,文中提到麻雀的故事,麻雀虽小却努力想要阻挡黑暗,回应马的质疑时所说的话,意在传达不管行动看起来多么微不足道,每一个小行动都是有意义、有价值的,都很重要。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” (她今年84岁,个子不高但很结实。每隔一会儿,她就会有些犹豫地弯下腰,把小东西捡起放进一个小布袋里。“你在做什么?”“我在捡拾微小垃圾。我尽量在力所能及的地方帮忙。”)”可知,84 岁的Neshama会去捡微小的垃圾,尽力在自己能做到的地方提供帮助,这体现了她关心环境、有责任感、乐于奉献的品质,所以可以用有爱心且负责任来形容她。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. (到了某个年龄,我们就知道我们生活中的伟大之处——如果你做到了或做到了这一点或那一点,你就会幸福而富有。不,爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知,作者认为在老年阶段,爱和服务才会让我们的人生真正富有,也就是生命的意义在于此。故选A项。
C
Many people feel fear or disgust when seeing spiders, scorpions, and similar creatures. However, these animals are vital for healthy ecosystems. As global biodiversity declines, two scientists from the University of Massachusetts studied how insects and arachnids are faring in the United States. Their research revealed a shocking lack of data, highlighting an urgent need to protect these creatures, which are essential for our planet’s health.
Laura Figueroa, the study’s senior author, explains that insects and arachnids are fundamental to human society. They assist in pollination, control pests naturally, and even indicate air and water quality. While popular animals like lions and pandas receive significant conservation attention, these smaller creatures often do not. The researchers aimed to understand their current status since they rarely get the same protection.
The study examined 99,312 known insect and arachnid species in North America. The results were startling: nearly 90% of these species have no official conservation status. This means we simply do not know how most of them are doing. Existing information is uneven, focusing mostly on aquatic insects used for monitoring water quality or visually appealing groups like butterflies. Arachnids, in particular, are largely ignored, with most states protecting not a single species.
The research also found that conservation efforts vary by state. States relying heavily on industries like mining and oil extraction tend to offer fewer protections. In contrast, states with more environmentally conscious public attitudes are more likely to safeguard these species. Figueroa suggests looking at bird conservation as a successful model, where diverse groups like hunters and bird watchers united for a common goal.
Ultimately, insects and arachnids are more than objects of fear. They deserve appreciation for their ecological importance. Protecting them begins with collecting more data and recognizing their value. As one researcher noted, changing our perspective is the first step toward ensuring these critical species survive for future generations.
28. What did the study by Figueroa and Walsh mainly reveal about insects and arachnids?
A. They are disappearing faster than large animals.
B. Most species lack official protection and data.
C. They are only important for water quality monitoring.
D. People generally love them more than birds and lions.
29. Why do some states offer fewer protections for these creatures according to the text?
A. They have too many dangerous species living there.
B. Their economies depend on resource-extracting industries.
C. The public in those states dislikes all kinds of insects.
D. There are no scientists working in those specific areas.
30. What can be inferred about the future of insect conservation from the bird example?
A. Only professional biologists can save endangered species.
B. Success requires cooperation among different groups of people.
C. Birds and insects compete for the same limited resources.
D. Hunting should be completely banned to protect all wildlife.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To warn people about the dangers of spider bites.
B. To compare the populations of spiders and butterflies.
C. To call for greater attention to protecting small creatures.
D. To explain why mining industries harm the environment.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,本文是美国昆虫和蛛形纲动物(如蜘蛛、蝎子等)的生存现状堪忧,相关保护数据严重缺乏,强调了保护这些对生态系统至关重要的小生物的紧迫性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The results were startling: nearly 90% of these species have no official conservation status. This means we simply do not know how most of them are doing. Existing information is uneven, focusing mostly on aquatic insects used for monitoring water quality or visually appealing groups like butterflies. Arachnids, in particular, are largely ignored, with most states protecting not a single species.(结果令人震惊:近90%的物种没有官方保护状态。这意味着我们根本不了解大多数物种的生存状况。现有数据分布极不均衡,主要集中于用于水质监测的水生昆虫,或蝴蝶等外观引人注目的类群。蛛形纲动物尤其被忽视,多数州甚至未对任何该类物种实施保护。)”可知,研究主要揭示了大多数物种缺乏官方保护状态和相关数据。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“States relying heavily on industries like mining and oil extraction tend to offer fewer protections.(依赖采矿、石油开采等重工业的州往往提供较少的保护措施。)”可知,有些州对这些生物提供的保护较少是因为它们的经济依赖于资源开采行业。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Figueroa suggests looking at bird conservation as a successful model, where diverse groups like hunters and bird watchers united for a common goal.(菲格罗亚建议以鸟类保护为成功范例——在这一模式中,猎人、观鸟者等不同群体为共同目标团结协作。)”可以推断出,昆虫保护的成功也需要不同群体的合作。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Many people feel fear or disgust when seeing spiders, scorpions, and similar creatures. However, these animals are vital for healthy ecosystems. As global biodiversity declines, two scientists from the University of Massachusetts studied how insects and arachnids are faring in the United States. Their research revealed a shocking lack of data, highlighting an urgent need to protect these creatures, which are essential for our planet’s health.(许多人看到蜘蛛、蝎子及类似生物时,会感到恐惧或厌恶。然而,这些动物对健康的生态系统至关重要。随着全球生物多样性持续衰退,马萨诸塞大学的两位科学家针对美国昆虫与蛛形纲动物的生存现状展开了研究。他们的研究揭示了令人震惊的数据缺失问题,凸显出保护这些对地球健康至关重要的生物已刻不容缓。)”可知,文章从人们对蜘蛛的恐惧引入,通过科学研究数据指出它们面临的被忽视的现状,分析原因并提出建议,最终目的是呼吁人们重视并保护这些对生态重要的小生物。故选C。
D
Imagine trying to convince someone with facts that challenge their long-held opinion, only to find them dismissing or processing the information. This is belief perseverance at work. Interestingly, these beliefs don’t necessarily stem from personal experience; for instance, a child might believe “all lawyers are untrustworthy” merely because an older sibling said so, and then ignore any trustworthy lawyers they encounter later, categorizing them as exceptions.
Often confused with confirmation bias, belief perseverance is distinct. While confirmation bias involves seeking out information that supports one’s preconceptions, belief perseverance is about actively rejecting evidence that could disprove those beliefs, building a psychological barrier around one’s existing views.
This bias emerges in multiple forms. In terms of self-perception, someone might persistently view themselves as bad at public speaking despite receiving applause for presentations, attributing success to luck. Socially, initial judgments can linger: assuming a reserved classmate is unfriendly, even after friendly interactions. Societally, stereotypes about groups — be it racial, gender-based, or political — frequently endure, resisting factual counterarguments.
Research backs this up. In one study, students given false feedback on analyzing suicide notes continued to believe in their “accuracy” or “inaccuracy” even after learning the feedback was fabricated (伪造的). Another experiment showed that beliefs connecting risk-taking to firefighting effectiveness persisted, regardless of discredited supporting data.
Several psychological factors contribute to belief perseverance. The availability heuristic (可得性启发法) makes people rely on easily recalled examples, like assuming all doctors are impatient after one negative encounter. Illusory correlation creates false associations, such as linking a team’s loss to the color of their uniforms. Selective attention further reinforces biases, as individuals tend to notice evidence that confirms their beliefs while overlooking contradictory signs.
Overcoming this bias requires self-awareness. Strategies like counter-explanation — prompting individuals to consider reasons for opposing beliefs — can aid in relaxing the grip of firmly-established mindsets. While complete removal may be unrealistic, recognizing belief perseverance is a crucial step towards more objective thinking in a world filled with information.
32. What does the example of the child in Paragraph 1 intend to show?
A. Children are more likely to be influenced by their siblings.
B. Belief perseverance often comes from non-personal experience.
C People tend to regard trustworthy lawyers as exceptions.
D. Long-held opinions are hard to change with facts.
33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. Confirmation bias is more common than belief perseverance.
B. People with confirmation bias will reject conflicting information.
C. Belief perseverance is a stronger barrier to objective thinking.
D. Both biases are closely related to people’s preconceptions.
34. Which of the following can be inferred from the research mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. False feedback has a lasting impact on people’s beliefs.
B. Students are more likely to stick to their wrong beliefs.
C. Belief perseverance can’t be changed by any means.
D. People’s beliefs are easily influenced by fabricated data.
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to overcome belief perseverance.
B. Belief perseverance: a psychological bias
C. Differences between two common biases
D. The impact of belief perseverance on people’s life
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了信念坚持这一现象,包括其定义、与确认偏误的区别、表现形式、研究实例、成因以及应对方法。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine trying to convince someone with facts that challenge their long-held opinion, only to find them dismissing or processing the information. This is belief perseverance at work. Interestingly, these beliefs don’t necessarily stem from personal experience; for instance, a child might believe “all lawyers are untrustworthy” merely because an older sibling said so, and then ignore any trustworthy lawyers they encounter later, categorizing them as exceptions.(想象一下,你试图用事实去说服一个人,挑战他长久以来的观点,结果却发现他要么无视,要么歪曲处理这些信息。这就是信念固着在起作用。有趣的是,这些信念不一定来自个人经历;例如,一个孩子可能仅仅因为哥哥姐姐说过 “所有律师都不可信”,就相信这一点,之后即便遇到可信的律师,也会把他们当作例外忽略掉。)”可知,孩子的例子是为了说明信念坚持往往不是来源于个人经历。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“While confirmation bias involves seeking out information that supports one’s preconceptions, belief perseverance is about actively rejecting evidence that could disprove those beliefs, building a psychological barrier around one’s existing views.(确认偏误是指人们倾向于寻找支持自己先入之见的信息,而信念坚持则是主动排斥可能推翻这些信念的证据,在现有观点周围筑起心理屏障。)”可知,确认偏差是“寻找支持自己预设的信息”,信念坚持是“拒绝能推翻自己原有预设的证据”,由此可推知两种偏差都和人们已有的预设紧密相关。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In one study, students given false feedback on analyzing suicide notes continued to believe in their “accuracy” or “inaccuracy” even after learning the feedback was fabricated (伪造的).(一项研究中,学生在分析自杀遗书时接受了虚假反馈,即便之后得知反馈是伪造的,他们仍继续相信其“准确”或“不准确”。)”可推知,虚假反馈会对人们的信念产生持久影响。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章围绕信念坚持展开:第一段定义信念坚持并举例;第二段区分信念坚持与确认偏误;第三段讲信念坚持的多种形式;第四段用研究佐证其存在;第五段分析其产生的心理因素;第六段讲克服方法;故文章核心是“信念坚持“,一种心理偏误。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen? ____36____
When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). ____37____ This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry.
The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes.
____38____ A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse.
Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. ____39____ If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety.
What is the best solution? Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. ____40____ But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice.
A. Onions can sometimes carry bacteria.
B. Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions.
C. This finding highlights the importance of your knife.
D. In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away.
E. For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier.
F. Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason.
G. This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode.
【答案】36. F 37. D 38. C 39. A 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了切洋葱时流泪的原因,并指出使用锋利的刀是减少流泪和杂乱的最有效方法。
【36题详解】
上文“Why does this happen? (为什么会这样呢?)”提出了切洋葱时流泪的原因这一问题,空后“When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). (当你切洋葱时,你会破坏它的细胞,释放出形成气体的硫化合物。这种气体与你眼睛中的天然水分混合,产生一种引起刺激的弱酸。)”具体解释了切洋葱时流泪的化学原因,以及“The other major cause is tiny droplets. (另一个主要原因是微小水滴。)”指出了切洋葱时流泪的物理原因。选项F“Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason. (研究人员现在发现了化学和物理两个方面的原因。)”符合语境,起到了承上启下的作用。故选F。
【37题详解】
上文“This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). (这种气体与你眼睛中的天然水分混合,产生一种引起刺激的弱酸。)”解释了切洋葱时释放的气体与眼睛中的自然水分混合产生刺激弱酸这一情况,空后“This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry. (这是一种保护反应,而不是情绪化的哭泣。)”说明这是一种保护反应而非情绪化哭泣。选项D“In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away. (作为回应,你的眼睛会产生眼泪来冲走刺激物。)”符合语境,进一步阐述了眼睛针对刺激产生眼泪这一保护反应的具体表现,与上下文紧密相连。故选D。
【38题详解】
下文“A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse. (锋利的刀切起来干净利落,与钝刀相比,产生的组织压力和飞溅的水滴要少得多。使用钝的工具会使流泪问题变得更糟。)”强调了使用锋利的刀切洋葱能减少组织压力和飞溅水滴,而钝工具会使流泪问题更严重。选项C“This finding highlights the importance of your knife. (这一发现强调了你的刀的重要性。)”符合语境,对后文关于刀对切洋葱时流泪情况的影响进行了概括性说明,引出下文具体阐述刀的重要性相关内容。故选C。
【39题详解】
下文“If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. (如果存在细菌,这些细菌可以通过让你流泪的飞沫在你的厨房里传播,增加感染的风险。)”提到如果存在细菌,细菌会通过让你流泪的飞沫在厨房传播,增加感染风险。选项A“Onions can sometimes carry bacteria. (洋葱有时会携带细菌。)”符合语境,解释了后文所说的可能存在的细菌的来源,与后文紧密相关。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. (研究测试了常见的建议,如用冷水洗洋葱或把它们放在冰箱里冷却,但发现这些方法都不起作用。)”提到研究测试了常见建议但效果不佳,空后“But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice. (但是,为了更简单、有科学依据的方法来减少流泪和杂乱,锋利的刀片是你最有效的选择。)”提出了一种更简单且有科学依据的减少流泪和杂乱的方法,即使用锋利刀片。选项E“For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier. (为了完全保护,安全眼镜可以创造一个可靠的屏障。)”符合语境,提出了另一种防止切洋葱时流泪的方法,与后文使用锋利刀片的方法形成对比,共同围绕减少切洋葱时流泪这一主题展开。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统绘画的代表作——《千里江山图》,介绍了其作者以及绘画特色等。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:《千里江山图》自12世纪创作以来,一直被奉为中国传统绘画的杰作。修饰可数名词单数“masterpiece”,泛指,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但也许和作品本身一样令人惊奇的是,它是由一个十几岁的孩子创作的。担当表语,修饰the work,用形容词形式。Amaze的形容词形式有两个:amazing,意为“令人惊奇的”,修饰物;amazed,意为“感到惊奇的”,修饰人。故填amazing。
【58题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:但也许和作品本身一样令人惊奇的是,它是由一个十几岁的孩子创作的。这里为从句谓语动词,根据上下文可知,这个作品是12世纪的一个小男孩创作的,所以本句时态为一般过去时;主语为it,和动词create之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填was created。
【59题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:王希孟在十几岁的时候就进入了国画学堂。固定搭配:in one’s teens,意为“在某人十几岁时”。故填teens。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据说,宋徽宗发现了这个男孩在绘画方面的特殊才能,并亲自负责他的绘画教育。这里为非谓语动词担当主语补足语,构成句型:sb be said to…;根据下文的“taken”可知,用动词不定式的完成式。故填to have discovered。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:据说,宋徽宗发现了这个男孩在绘画方面的特殊才能,并亲自负责他的绘画教育。修饰动词用副词形式。故填personally。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:《千里河山图》长约12米,高约0.5米,展示了雾气笼罩的河流,远处是连绵起伏的山脉。这里为非谓语动词担当状语,和主句主语“A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains”之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式;出现在句首,首字母大写。故填Measuring。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:《千里河山图》长约12米,高约0.5米,展示了雾气笼罩的河流,远处是连绵起伏的山脉。这里为非谓语动词担当后置定语,和被修饰词“rivers”之间为被动关系,用过去分词形式。故填covered。
【64题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:画中不仅有渔村、凉亭和草屋,还有在江面上漂来漂去的渔夫,以及拥挤的市场上的买卖双方。固定搭配:not only…but(also)…,意为“不但……而且……”。故填but。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:画中不仅有渔村、凉亭和草屋,还有在江面上漂来漂去的渔夫,以及拥挤的市场上的买卖双方。这里为定语从句的关系代词,先行词为“fishermen”,在定语从句中担当主语,用关系代词who或that引导。故填who/that。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Two days before her school’s Christmas program, my nine-year-old daughter Charlotte proudly announced, “I’m singing solo (独唱) ‘Silent Night’ “. That puzzled me. Charlotte loved to sing. She sang in the shower and the car and just about everywhere else, despite her struggles with high pitch (高音). Now she could carry a tune a bit better than last year, but I didn’t think she’d improved enough yet to sing a solo. Reminding myself that all things are indeed possible in grade school, I chose not to question her confidence.
I soon learned that my two other daughters in 11th grade, Monica and Corina, were also to perform in a different Christmas program on the same night. They were skilled singers and piano players. This time, they were giving a piano performance that night, an hour later than their younger sister. The three girls practiced everyday at home, filling our room with singing, piano music and laughter. Sometimes the two teenagers would give Charlotte some tips on improving her pitch, and could even accompany her singing “Silent Night” on the piano in a very short time. Knowing them well-prepared, I looked forward to the Christmas programs this year.
The big day finally came, and I came to school to watch Charlotte’s performance with delight. However, things went wrong. Shortly after dropping her backstage, she found me in the hall, eyes filled with tears. Her teacher explained there had been a misunderstanding — Charlotte was not picked to sing a solo. Heartbroken, she asked to leave. Though upset, I focused on comforting her.
Teenagers notice everything. When we arrived at their auditorium earlier than scheduled, Monica and Corina quickly realized something was wrong. When I explained the situation, they showed sincere sympathy. “Come with us, Charlotte. You can see backstage and meet our friends.” The invitation beat any flavor of ice-cream, and Charlotte gladly accepted and went with them. I sat with the audience and waited, until the host announced my girls’ names.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Monica and Corina walked onto the stage gesturing Charlotte to join them.

I went to the backstage and found the three girls chatting happily.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Monica and Corina walked onto the stage, gesturing Charlotte to join them. Charlotte stood there in shock, her eyes still wet with tears, too shy to move forward. The two sisters waved at her warmly and nodded encouragingly, and the audience also clapped gently to urge her on. Finally, she took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage nervously. As the soft piano tune flowed out, Monica nodded at her, and Charlotte opened her mouth to sing Silent Night. Her voice was small at first, then became steady with her sisters’ gentle accompaniment and harmonious backup singing. When the last note faded, the auditorium erupted into thunderous and lasting applause.
I went to the backstage and found the three girls chatting happily. Charlotte was talking animatedly, her face glowing with joy and pride, no trace of sadness left. Monica and Corina were listening with smiles, occasionally pinching her cheek and praising her for singing wonderfully. I walked over and hugged the three tightly, my heart filled with warmth and moved. Charlotte looked up at me, her eyes bright, and said softly, “Mom, I sang my solo, and it was amazing!” That Christmas night, the warm sisterly love turned a regret into the most precious and unforgettable memory in our hearts.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Classical music
Classical music was the music of European courts and big concert hats. Specifically, classical music refers to orchestral music of the 18th and early 19th century, which is played with traditional European instruments, often in large orchestras. Beethoven and Mozart are two of the most famous classical composers.
Blues
Blues started off as the music of the African slaves who were brought to the United States, closely related to the music of West Africa. It became well-known throughout the world through musicians such as Moody Waters and B.B. King. In many ways, blues remains an important element in many of today’s popular tunes.
Jazz
Jazz grew out of blues. As with blues, one of the important elements of jazz is improvisation (即兴演奏). Improvisation happens when a musician plays unwritten music to fit the mood of the occasion. One of the most famous names in jazz is Miles Davis. He was famous for always finding new ways of playing jazz, and for many people, this represented the spirit of jazz.
Rock’n’roll and rock
Rock’n’roll developed from fast blues. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were the big names in rock’n’roll and the Beatles in England took the music and made their own sounds from it. When the guitars got louder and the guitar solos (独奏) got longer, rock’n’roli became just rock. Now rock is one of the most popular forms of music in the world and its fans can be found all over the world.
Creating new music
Today, these names of music styles are less important to musicians. Radio, television and the Internet have made it easier for sounds to travel across cultures, and styles have become more mixed. If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown, it is that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear.
21. Which is still a vital part in today’s popular tunes?
A. Blues. B. Jazz. C. Classical music. D. Rock’n’roll and rock.
22. Which of the following persons is famous for Rock music?
A. Mozart. B. Moody Waters. C. Miles Davis. D. Elvis Presley.
23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The technological development limits the spread of music.
B. It’s easier for different music to maintain their own unique styles.
C. The best musicians attach importance to the names of music styles.
D. New music by good musicians can gain its place in the history of popular music.
B
Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of.
My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown.
The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort.
Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”
I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can.
We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.
24. What does the author think of her present life?
A. She enjoys making new friends.
B. She feels more struggles over aging process.
C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises.
D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences.
25. What message does the story of the sparrow convey?
A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time.
B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world.
C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result.
D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems.
26. Which of the following can best describe Neshama?
A. Healthy and cautious.
B. Caring and responsible.
C. Cooperative and modest.
D. Educated and committed.
27. What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age?
A. Love and acts of service bring true richness in life.
B. Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth.
C. Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals.
D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements.
C
Many people feel fear or disgust when seeing spiders, scorpions, and similar creatures. However, these animals are vital for healthy ecosystems. As global biodiversity declines, two scientists from the University of Massachusetts studied how insects and arachnids are faring in the United States. Their research revealed a shocking lack of data, highlighting an urgent need to protect these creatures, which are essential for our planet’s health.
Laura Figueroa, the study’s senior author, explains that insects and arachnids are fundamental to human society. They assist in pollination, control pests naturally, and even indicate air and water quality. While popular animals like lions and pandas receive significant conservation attention, these smaller creatures often do not. The researchers aimed to understand their current status since they rarely get the same protection.
The study examined 99,312 known insect and arachnid species in North America. The results were startling: nearly 90% of these species have no official conservation status. This means we simply do not know how most of them are doing. Existing information is uneven, focusing mostly on aquatic insects used for monitoring water quality or visually appealing groups like butterflies. Arachnids, in particular, are largely ignored, with most states protecting not a single species.
The research also found that conservation efforts vary by state. States relying heavily on industries like mining and oil extraction tend to offer fewer protections. In contrast, states with more environmentally conscious public attitudes are more likely to safeguard these species. Figueroa suggests looking at bird conservation as a successful model, where diverse groups like hunters and bird watchers united for a common goal.
Ultimately, insects and arachnids are more than objects of fear. They deserve appreciation for their ecological importance. Protecting them begins with collecting more data and recognizing their value. As one researcher noted, changing our perspective is the first step toward ensuring these critical species survive for future generations.
28. What did the study by Figueroa and Walsh mainly reveal about insects and arachnids?
A. They are disappearing faster than large animals.
B. Most species lack official protection and data.
C. They are only important for water quality monitoring.
D. People generally love them more than birds and lions.
29. Why do some states offer fewer protections for these creatures according to the text?
A. They have too many dangerous species living there.
B. Their economies depend on resource-extracting industries.
C. The public in those states dislikes all kinds of insects.
D. There are no scientists working in those specific areas.
30. What can be inferred about the future of insect conservation from the bird example?
A. Only professional biologists can save endangered species.
B. Success requires cooperation among different groups of people.
C. Birds and insects compete for the same limited resources.
D. Hunting should be completely banned to protect all wildlife.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To warn people about the dangers of spider bites.
B To compare the populations of spiders and butterflies.
C. To call for greater attention to protecting small creatures.
D. To explain why mining industries harm the environment.
D
Imagine trying to convince someone with facts that challenge their long-held opinion, only to find them dismissing or processing the information. This is belief perseverance at work. Interestingly, these beliefs don’t necessarily stem from personal experience; for instance, a child might believe “all lawyers are untrustworthy” merely because an older sibling said so, and then ignore any trustworthy lawyers they encounter later, categorizing them as exceptions.
Often confused with confirmation bias, belief perseverance is distinct. While confirmation bias involves seeking out information that supports one’s preconceptions, belief perseverance is about actively rejecting evidence that could disprove those beliefs, building a psychological barrier around one’s existing views.
This bias emerges in multiple forms. In terms of self-perception, someone might persistently view themselves as bad at public speaking despite receiving applause for presentations, attributing success to luck. Socially, initial judgments can linger: assuming a reserved classmate is unfriendly, even after friendly interactions. Societally, stereotypes about groups — be it racial, gender-based, or political — frequently endure, resisting factual counterarguments.
Research backs this up. In one study, students given false feedback on analyzing suicide notes continued to believe in their “accuracy” or “inaccuracy” even after learning the feedback was fabricated (伪造). Another experiment showed that beliefs connecting risk-taking to firefighting effectiveness persisted, regardless of discredited supporting data.
Several psychological factors contribute to belief perseverance. The availability heuristic (可得性启发法) makes people rely on easily recalled examples, like assuming all doctors are impatient after one negative encounter. Illusory correlation creates false associations, such as linking a team’s loss to the color of their uniforms. Selective attention further reinforces biases, as individuals tend to notice evidence that confirms their beliefs while overlooking contradictory signs.
Overcoming this bias requires self-awareness. Strategies like counter-explanation — prompting individuals to consider reasons for opposing beliefs — can aid in relaxing the grip of firmly-established mindsets. While complete removal may be unrealistic, recognizing belief perseverance is a crucial step towards more objective thinking in a world filled with information.
32. What does the example of the child in Paragraph 1 intend to show?
A. Children are more likely to be influenced by their siblings.
B. Belief perseverance often comes from non-personal experience.
C. People tend to regard trustworthy lawyers as exceptions.
D. Long-held opinions are hard to change with facts.
33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A Confirmation bias is more common than belief perseverance.
B. People with confirmation bias will reject conflicting information.
C. Belief perseverance is a stronger barrier to objective thinking.
D. Both biases are closely related to people’s preconceptions.
34. Which of the following can be inferred from the research mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. False feedback has a lasting impact on people’s beliefs.
B. Students are more likely to stick to their wrong beliefs.
C. Belief perseverance can’t be changed by any means.
D. People’s beliefs are easily influenced by fabricated data.
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to overcome belief perseverance.
B. Belief perseverance: a psychological bias
C. Differences between two common biases
D. The impact of belief perseverance on people’s life

This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen? ____36____
When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). ____37____ This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry.
The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes.
____38____ A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse.
Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. ____39____ If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety.
What is the best solution? Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. ____40____ But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice.
A. Onions can sometimes carry bacteria.
B. Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions.
C. This finding highlights the importance of your knife.
D. In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away.
E. For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier.
F. Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason.
G. This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode.

I frequently accompanied my father, pedaling there from our house to a neighborhood store. I’d ____42____ behind him with a small bag balanced on my handlebars, picking up the month’s groceries.

Then in 2023, I joined the Pedal India 120-day Challenge, which demanded cycling at least 5 km daily for 120 days without ____46____ for a great build. What started as a commitment to ____47____ became something more profound. The daily discipline of showing up, rain or shine, ____48____ my deeper passion for cycling. As a professional development trainer at my firm, I aimed to bring this newfound energy into my work. Traditional office meetings often felt unproductive, so I ____49____ my individual guidance meetings into cycling meetings. It worked wonders. Hence, at the beginning of 2024, our company was in a crucial period of transition and I was determined to help my team ____50____ change, not oppose it. To ____51____ the connections among employees, I began holding one-on-one cycling meetings with my team. We talked more honestly and listened more deeply. Those cycling sessions ____52____ new dimensions of honesty and trust.
Then the idea truly solidifies: what if I used cycling not just for fitness or connection, but as a platform for a life of ____53____? And so Cycle. TalkCONNECT, a non-profit organization, was born in 2024. I envisioned cycling with one person a week, but the response was ____54____ and unexpected. People have requested cycles to celebrate anniversaries, to ____55____ birthdays, or to mourn losses. To date, I have completed 380 cycles.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Two days before her school’s Christmas program, my nine-year-old daughter Charlotte proudly announced, “I’m singing solo (独唱) ‘Silent Night’ “. That puzzled me. Charlotte loved to sing. She sang in the shower and the car and just about everywhere else, despite her struggles with high pitch (高音). Now she could carry a tune a bit better than last year, but I didn’t think she’d improved enough yet to sing a solo. Reminding myself that all things are indeed possible in grade school, I chose not to question her confidence.
I soon learned that my two other daughters in 11th grade, Monica and Corina, were also to perform in a different Christmas program on the same night. They were skilled singers and piano players. This time, they were giving a piano performance that night, an hour later than their younger sister. The three girls practiced everyday at home, filling our room with singing, piano music and laughter. Sometimes the two teenagers would give Charlotte some tips on improving her pitch, and could even accompany her singing “Silent Night” on the piano in a very short time. Knowing them well-prepared, I looked forward to the Christmas programs this year.
The big day finally came, and I came to school to watch Charlotte’s performance with delight. However, things went wrong. Shortly after dropping her backstage, she found me in the hall, eyes filled with tears. Her teacher explained there had been a misunderstanding — Charlotte was not picked to sing a solo. Heartbroken, she asked to leave. Though upset, I focused on comforting her.
Teenagers notice everything. When we arrived at their auditorium earlier than scheduled, Monica and Corina quickly realized something was wrong. When I explained the situation, they showed sincere sympathy. “Come with us, Charlotte. You can see backstage and meet our friends.” The invitation beat any flavor of ice-cream, and Charlotte gladly accepted and went with them. I sat with the audience and waited, until the host announced my girls’ names.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Monica and Corina walked onto the stage, gesturing Charlotte to join them.
