There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit someone you’ve just met with your fist! But I’m in one of those right now. I’m in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt.
Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the qualifications she’d need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register.
Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.
In the rehearsal room, I can’t resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real fight. Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble.
21.Why does Kate ask the author to hit her?
A.To show actors stage fighting skills. B.To teach actors to defend themselves.
C.To help actors rehearse an action scene. D.To attract actors’ interest in martial arts.
22.What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director?
A.She could not find a female teacher. B.She had no prior experience in drama.
C.She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D.She had trouble obtaining a certificate.
23.What do the underlined words “smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.A difficult technique. B.A dangerous situation.
C.A well-planned lesson. D.A misleading performance.
24.What does the author imply about Kate’s real fighting ability?
A.She relies a lot on tricks. B .She may lack confidence in herself.
C.She might be better than she admits. D.She excels more at performing than fighting.
25.What does the text focus on?
A.How stage fighting can be dangerous if not done properly.
B.The life and career of a successful female stage fight director.
C.A comparison between real fighting and stage fighting.
D.The history of martial arts in the theatre industry.
C
It’s good to be smart. After all, intelligent people earn more money, accumulate more wealth, and even live longer. But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.
Travis Bradberry, president at Talent Smart, explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that “Rational thinking and intelligence don’t tend to go hand in hand. Intelligent people are more prone to silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they don’t even realise when they’re making a mess by answering without thinking things through.
A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities. They often fail to recognise when they need help, and when they do recognise it, they tend to believe that no one else is capable of providing it.
“It’s hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that they’re wrong. It’s even harder for smart people because they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,” Bradberry wrote. “For smart people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.”
Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback. They tend to undervalue the opinions of others, which means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback. Not only does this tendency hinder their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally.
Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder.
26.What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people?
A.They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.
B.They usually turn a blind eye to their own weaknesses.
C.They are admired by people around them.
D.They can differ in their personalities.
27.What accounts for the existence of intelligent people’s logical blind spots?
A.Their irrational way of thinking. B.Too much faith in their ability to think.
C.Their ignorance of behavioural science. D.Too much concern about their work.
28.How do smart people react when they are found to be wrong?
A.They shift the blame to others. B.They graciously accept the facts.
C.They may feel shocked. D.They may get offended.
29.What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions?
A.They may suffer in their professional and private life.
B.They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.
C.They may commit more errors than ever before.
D.They may experience a lot of emotional stress.
30.What is said about those working with or under overachieving people?
A.They put a lot of effort into their work B.They set higher goals for themselves.
C.They are under increasing pressure. D.They take less time to get things done.
D
For as long as he could remember, Ben’s world had been defined by straight lines and precise angles. His dream was to become an architect, and his sketchbook was filled with drawings of modern-looking buildings and complex bridges. The messy, unpredictable world of living things held little interest for him. That was, until his high school required a semester of community service.
Reluctantly, Ben signed up for “Green Guardians”, a program that involved tending to the community garden. He was assigned to work with Mr. Henderson, a retired carpenter in his seventies whose hands were rough and marked with years of labor, but whose eyes held a surprising gentleness.
Their first task was to repair a broken brick path. Ben, eager to apply his “expertise”, immediately pulled out a tape measure and began calculating. “The bricks need to be evenly spaced, exactly 5 centimeters apart for structural integrity and visual appeal,” he announced.
Mr. Henderson laughed softly, wiping his brow with a handkerchief. “Son,” he said, “in a garden, nothing is ever perfectly even. Look.” He pointed to a nearby oak tree. “See how its roots have gently pushed these bricks up over the years? That’s not a mistake; it’s a story. Our job isn’t to fight that story, but to work with it.”
Ben was puzzled. In his designs, irregularity was a flaw to be corrected. Yet, as the weeks passed, he watched Mr. Henderson work. He didn’t just replace bricks; he observed how the sunlight fell, where the rainwater pooled, and which plants were struggling for space. He repaired the path, but also widened a curve to give a rose bush more room, and used slightly different colored bricks to create a gentle pattern that guided the eye toward a beautiful, old bench.
One afternoon, as they were planting new young plants, a heavy rain suddenly began to fall. Ben rushed to cover the plants with a plastic sheet, but Mr. Henderson stopped him. “Let them feel the rain,” he said. “A little struggle makes the roots grow stronger.” They sat under the small building, watching the rain nourish the earth. In that quiet moment, surrounded by the sound of rain and the smell of wet soil, Ben felt a shift within himself. He realized that Mr. Henderson wasn’t just building a path or tending plants; he was fostering a living, breathing ecosystem where every imperfection had a purpose.
On the last day of the program, Ben looked at the garden — not as a collection of individual plants and structures, but as a whole. The winding path, the uneven flower beds, the trees of different heights — it all worked together in a harmonious, beautiful way. He opened his sketchbook to a new page. This time, he didn’t draw a towering skyscraper. Instead, he began sketching a design for a small, sustainable community library, one with lots of natural light, green walls, and pathways that adapted to the existing trees.
He showed it to Mr. Henderson. The old man studied it for a long moment, then nodded, a slow smile spreading across his face. “Now you’re not just drawing buildings,” he said. “You’re designing a home for life.”
Ben finally understood. True design wasn’t about forcing order on the world. It was about listening to it, learning from it, and creating spaces where both people and nature could thrive, imperfectly and beautifully together.
31.Why did Ben initially feel uninterested in the community garden program?
A.He thought gardening was too physically demanding.
B.He believed it had nothing to do with his career goal.
C.He was afraid of getting his hands dirty.
D.He disliked working with elderly people.
32.What can be inferred about Mr. Henderson’s view of irregularities in the garden from his words “That’s not a mistake; it’s a story.”?
A.He sees them as problems that must be fixed immediately.
B.He considers them evidence of poor past maintenance.
C.He values them as meaningful parts of the garden’s history and character.
D.He views them as artistic decorations that should be highlighted to attract visitors.
33.How did Mr. Henderson’s philosophy influence Ben’s work on the path?
A.Ben insisted on using more precise measurements.
B.Ben learned to include natural elements and stories into his work.
C.Ben decided to remove the old tree roots completely.
D.Ben convinced Mr. Henderson to follow his original design.
34.What is the key reason for the change in Ben’s final sketchbook design?
A.He gave up his dream of becoming an architect.
B.He wanted to impress Mr. Henderson with a complex drawing.
C.His understanding of design evolved to include harmony with nature.
D.He found garden design more profitable than architecture.
35.Which of the following best summarizes the main theme of the story?
A.True design originates from collaborating with nature.
B.Elderly people possess invaluable wisdom that the young often ignore.
C.Community service is a compulsory requirement for personal growth.
D.Academic knowledge is always superior to practical experience.
三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Hard work is often the only competitive advantage many people possess. We may not be as experienced or as 36 as other people.
But we can always work harder, smarter and longer.
As Kara Lawson-the Duke women's basketball team head coach-says, generally speaking, there's a huge 37 between working hard and competing.
Plenty of people work hard. But what is the best praise you can receive or give?
You competed.
38 Lawson, most people mistake hard work for competitiveness:
“Hard work is I give you a task. I give you limitations on some task. I say, ‘You have to do this, in this amount of time, with this much weight.’ And then I force you to do it. I can force you to work hard just by what I ask you to do. You can't force someone to 39 .”
The difference might seem amazing. Hard work requires effort and so does competing.
But working hard doesn't automatically mean 40 improvement. I can put in countless hours of effort without ever trying to “win.”
As Lawson says to her players:
“At the end of every session, that's the question you're asking yourself: Did I compete today?
That's different than working hard. Working hard is something some people do. Many people work hard in whatever job they do. Before you start, and then when you're done, be 41 with yourself: ‘Did I compete today?”
When you think you're 42 , when you think you've done all you can, remember: You always find a little more inside you. You are capable of more than you think. Dig deep. Work a little harder.
When you're on the downside(劣势)of 43 and reaching a goal feels impossible, don't just work hard.
Compete: Make the extra phone call. Do the extra preparation. And remember to offer to not just tell 44 what to do but show them and then work beside them.
Every day, compete: to be the best boss you can be, the most empathetic(同理心的) listener you can be... Whatever it is, compete.
Competing will make you an even 45 “you” than you are today.
And that's the only competition that really matters.
36.A.devoted B.satisfied C.talented D.excited
37.A.relationship B.difference C.benefit D.connection
38.A.Thanks to B.In addition to C.In response to D.According to
39.A.compete B.obey C.change D.cooperate
40.A.striving for B.leading to C.asking for D.turning to
41.A.strict B.honest C.serious D.curious
42.A.finished B.engaged C.interested D.fried
43.A.disadvantage B.success C.advantage D.adventure
44.A.employers B.listeners C.competitors D.employees
45.A.better B.kinder C.wiser D.harder
四、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式,并将答案写在对应处。
The New York Times published an article recently that shows great regret for the "death of conversation". It suggests that 46 technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more 47 (connect) than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity 48 price of face-to-face conversation. Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. She mentions that 49 (lose) ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and 50 (meet) people.
The concept of “I share, therefore I am” among this generation. Young people are so busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget 51 to live a real life. For example, they may care more about blogging about attending a party rather than enjoying being there.
However, experts remind us that it’s 52 (fair) to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth and Children Research Center, 53 (point) out that it is still owners of mobile technology that are avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices 54 (hide) ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be an excuse to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “When 55 (strengthen) conversation, we can understand each other. Simply throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.”she said.

There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit someone you’ve just met with your fist! But I’m in one of those right now. I’m in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt.
Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the qualifications she’d need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register.
Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.
In the rehearsal room, I can’t resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real fight. Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble.
21.Why does Kate ask the author to hit her?
A.To show actors stage fighting skills. B.To teach actors to defend themselves.
C.To help actors rehearse an action scene. D.To attract actors’ interest in martial arts.
22.What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director?
A.She could not find a female teacher. B.She had no prior experience in drama.
C.She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D.She had trouble obtaining a certificate.
23.What do the underlined words “smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.A difficult technique. B.A dangerous situation.
C.A well-planned lesson. D.A misleading performance.
24.What does the author imply about Kate’s real fighting ability?
A.She relies a lot on tricks. B .She may lack confidence in herself.
C.She might be better than she admits. D.She excels more at performing than fighting.
25.What does the text focus on?
A.How stage fighting can be dangerous if not done properly.
B.The life and career of a successful female stage fight director.
C.A comparison between real fighting and stage fighting.
D.The history of martial arts in the theatre industry.
【答案】21.A 22.C 23.D 24.C 25.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了舞台格斗指导 Kate Waters 的职业经历,以及作者在她的课堂上学习舞台格斗技巧的经历,展现了 Kate 如何将武术与戏剧结合,成为一名成功的女性舞台格斗指导。
21.细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. 她想让我用拳头揍她。但别担心,这一切都是完全假扮出来的!业内被称为 “格斗凯特” 的凯特正在上一堂课,教演员们如何在不受伤的情况下打斗。)” 可知,Kate 让作者打她是为了展示舞台格斗技巧,教演员如何安全地进行舞台打斗。故选A。
22.细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before.(这可不是个小任务:除了需要高级舞台格斗证书外,她还需要空手道黑带,以及掌握一项她从未尝试过的运动 —— 击剑技能。)”可知,Kate面临的挑战之一是必须掌握一项她不熟悉的运动 —— 击剑。故选C。
23.词句猜测题。根据下文“In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap.(在我们的课上,凯特向我展示了演员在计划好的拍打动作前如何背对观众。当拍打动作发生时,手掌并没有接触皮肤,而是打在空气中:演员会拍打自己的胸部或腿部来制造拍打声。)”可知,舞台格斗并不是真实的打斗,而是通过技巧制造出逼真的效果,具有误导性。因此 “smoke and mirrors” 在此处意为 “一种误导性的表演”。故选D。
24.推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble.(她笑着说:“哦,那我会很糟糕的。”她说道,“我只会懂得如何假装罢了。”然而,我不禁觉得她只是太谦虚了。)”可知,作者认为Kate说自己在真实打斗中会很糟糕,其实是一种谦虚的说法,暗示她的真实打斗能力可能比她自己承认的要好。故选C。
25.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章首先介绍了作者在Kate的课堂上学习舞台格斗的经历,然后详细讲述了 Kate 的职业成长历程 —— 从武术爱好者到成为一名成功的女性舞台格斗指导,以及她所具备的专业资质。因此,文章的重点是讲述一位成功的女性舞台格斗指导的生活和职业生涯。故选B。
C
It’s good to be smart. After all, intelligent people earn more money, accumulate more wealth, and even live longer. But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.
Travis Bradberry, president at Talent Smart, explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that “Rational thinking and intelligence don’t tend to go hand in hand. Intelligent people are more prone to silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they don’t even realise when they’re making a mess by answering without thinking things through.
A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities. They often fail to recognise when they need help, and when they do recognise it, they tend to believe that no one else is capable of providing it.
“It’s hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that they’re wrong. It’s even harder for smart people because they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,” Bradberry wrote. “For smart people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.”
Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback. They tend to undervalue the opinions of others, which means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback. Not only does this tendency hinder their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally.
Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder.
26.What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people?
A.They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.
B.They usually turn a blind eye to their own weaknesses.
C.They are admired by people around them.
D.They can differ in their personalities.
27.What accounts for the existence of intelligent people’s logical blind spots?
A.Their irrational way of thinking. B.Too much faith in their ability to think.
C.Their ignorance of behavioural science. D.Too much concern about their work.
28.How do smart people react when they are found to be wrong?
A.They shift the blame to others. B.They graciously accept the facts.
C.They may feel shocked. D.They may get offended.
29.What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions?
A.They may suffer in their professional and private life.
B.They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.
C.They may commit more errors than ever before.
D.They may experience a lot of emotional stress.
30.What is said about those working with or under overachieving people?
A.They put a lot of effort into their work B.They set higher goals for themselves.
C.They are under increasing pressure. D.They take less time to get things done.
【答案】26.A 27.B 28.D 29.A 30.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了聪明虽有优势,但聪明人易因过度自信、习惯正确而犯常识性错误,难以接受批评与失败,还会给身边人带来压力,影响自身发展与人际关系。
26.细节理解题。根据第一段“But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.(但事情还有另外一面。那些最聪明的人和最出色的领导者有时也会犯一些其他人不会犯的错误,尤其是在那些需要运用常识才能应对的情况下)”可知,最聪明的人在简单的情况下也会犯愚蠢的错误。故选A。
27.细节理解题。根据第二段“These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.(这些盲点之所以存在,是因为聪明的人往往会对自己的推理能力过于自信)”可知,对自己思考能力的过度自信导致了聪明人的逻辑盲点。故选B。
28.细节理解题。根据第四段“For smart people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.(对于聪明的人来说,犯错会让他们感觉像是受到了个人攻击,而正确则成了他们必须坚守的准则)”可知,聪明的人发现自己错了可能会觉得自己被冒犯了。故选D。
29.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Not only does this tendency hinder their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally.(这种倾向不仅会阻碍他们的成长和发展,还可能导致不良的人际关系,无论是个人层面还是职业层面)”可知,那些难以接受他人建议的聪明人在职业和私人生活中可能会遭受挫折。故选A。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段“They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard.(他们就是不明白,有些人为了达成同样的目标竟然要付出如此巨大的努力,正因为如此,他们才会对别人施加过大的压力)”可知,那些与高成就者共事或在其手下工作的人承受的压力过大。故选C。
D
For as long as he could remember, Ben’s world had been defined by straight lines and precise angles. His dream was to become an architect, and his sketchbook was filled with drawings of modern-looking buildings and complex bridges. The messy, unpredictable world of living things held little interest for him. That was, until his high school required a semester of community service.
Reluctantly, Ben signed up for “Green Guardians”, a program that involved tending to the community garden. He was assigned to work with Mr. Henderson, a retired carpenter in his seventies whose hands were rough and marked with years of labor, but whose eyes held a surprising gentleness.
Their first task was to repair a broken brick path. Ben, eager to apply his “expertise”, immediately pulled out a tape measure and began calculating. “The bricks need to be evenly spaced, exactly 5 centimeters apart for structural integrity and visual appeal,” he announced.
Mr. Henderson laughed softly, wiping his brow with a handkerchief. “Son,” he said, “in a garden, nothing is ever perfectly even. Look.” He pointed to a nearby oak tree. “See how its roots have gently pushed these bricks up over the years? That’s not a mistake; it’s a story. Our job isn’t to fight that story, but to work with it.”
Ben was puzzled. In his designs, irregularity was a flaw to be corrected. Yet, as the weeks passed, he watched Mr. Henderson work. He didn’t just replace bricks; he observed how the sunlight fell, where the rainwater pooled, and which plants were struggling for space. He repaired the path, but also widened a curve to give a rose bush more room, and used slightly different colored bricks to create a gentle pattern that guided the eye toward a beautiful, old bench.
One afternoon, as they were planting new young plants, a heavy rain suddenly began to fall. Ben rushed to cover the plants with a plastic sheet, but Mr. Henderson stopped him. “Let them feel the rain,” he said. “A little struggle makes the roots grow stronger.” They sat under the small building, watching the rain nourish the earth. In that quiet moment, surrounded by the sound of rain and the smell of wet soil, Ben felt a shift within himself. He realized that Mr. Henderson wasn’t just building a path or tending plants; he was fostering a living, breathing ecosystem where every imperfection had a purpose.
On the last day of the program, Ben looked at the garden — not as a collection of individual plants and structures, but as a whole. The winding path, the uneven flower beds, the trees of different heights — it all worked together in a harmonious, beautiful way. He opened his sketchbook to a new page. This time, he didn’t draw a towering skyscraper. Instead, he began sketching a design for a small, sustainable community library, one with lots of natural light, green walls, and pathways that adapted to the existing trees.
He showed it to Mr. Henderson. The old man studied it for a long moment, then nodded, a slow smile spreading across his face. “Now you’re not just drawing buildings,” he said. “You’re designing a home for life.”
Ben finally understood. True design wasn’t about forcing order on the world. It was about listening to it, learning from it, and creating spaces where both people and nature could thrive, imperfectly and beautifully together.
31.Why did Ben initially feel uninterested in the community garden program?
A.He thought gardening was too physically demanding.
B.He believed it had nothing to do with his career goal.
C.He was afraid of getting his hands dirty.
D.He disliked working with elderly people.
32.What can be inferred about Mr. Henderson’s view of irregularities in the garden from his words “That’s not a mistake; it’s a story.”?
A.He sees them as problems that must be fixed immediately.
B.He considers them evidence of poor past maintenance.
C.He values them as meaningful parts of the garden’s history and character.
D.He views them as artistic decorations that should be highlighted to attract visitors.
33.How did Mr. Henderson’s philosophy influence Ben’s work on the path?
A.Ben insisted on using more precise measurements.
B.Ben learned to include natural elements and stories into his work.
C.Ben decided to remove the old tree roots completely.
D.Ben convinced Mr. Henderson to follow his original design.
34.What is the key reason for the change in Ben’s final sketchbook design?
A.He gave up his dream of becoming an architect.
B.He wanted to impress Mr. Henderson with a complex drawing.
C.His understanding of design evolved to include harmony with nature.
D.He found garden design more profitable than architecture.
35.Which of the following best summarizes the main theme of the story?
A.True design originates from collaborating with nature.
B.Elderly people possess invaluable wisdom that the young often ignore.
C.Community service is a compulsory requirement for personal growth.
D.Academic knowledge is always superior to practical experience.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了原本梦想成为建筑师的Ben,通过参与社区花园服务项目,在退休木匠Mr. Henderson的影响下,逐渐理解到设计与自然和谐共处的重要性,并最终改变了自己的设计理念的故事。
31.推理判断题。根据第一段中“His dream was to become an architect, and his sketchbook was filled with drawings of modern-looking buildings and complex bridges. The messy, unpredictable world of living things held little interest for him. That was, until his high school required a semester of community service.(他的梦想是成为一名建筑师,他的素描本里画满了现代化的建筑和复杂的桥梁。他对杂乱无章、不可预测的生物世界没什么兴趣。直到他的高中要求他参加一个学期的社区服务)”和第二段中“Reluctantly, Ben signed up for “Green Guardians”, a program that involved tending to the community garden.(Ben不情愿地报名参加了“绿色卫士”项目,这个项目包括照料社区花园)”可知,Ben最初对社区花园项目不感兴趣是因为他认为社区花园是杂乱无章、不可预测的生物世界,这与他的职业目标无关。故选B项。
32.推理判断题。根据第四段中“He pointed to a nearby oak tree. “See how its roots have gently pushed these bricks up over the years? That’s not a mistake; it’s a story. Our job isn’t to fight that story, but to work with it.”(他指着附近的一棵橡树。“看到这些年来它的根是如何轻轻地把这些砖块拱起来的吗?这不是错误,而是一个故事。我们的工作不是与这个故事抗争,而是与之合作”)”可推知,Mr. Henderson认为花园中的不规则性是花园历史和特征的有意义的一部分,而不是需要立即修复的问题或过去维护不善的证据,也不是吸引游客的艺术装饰。故选C项。
33.推理判断题。根据第五段“Ben was puzzled. In his designs, irregularity was a flaw to be corrected. Yet, as the weeks passed, he watched Mr. Henderson work. He didn’t just replace bricks; he observed how the sunlight fell, where the rainwater pooled, and which plants were struggling for space. He repaired the path, but also widened a curve to give a rose bush more room, and used slightly different colored bricks to create a gentle pattern that guided the eye toward a beautiful, old bench.(Ben困惑不已。在他的设计理念中,不规则是需要修正的缺陷。然而,随着时间推移,他观察着Henderson先生的工作方式——这位匠人并非单纯更换砖块,而是先观察阳光的倾洒角度、雨水的汇聚轨迹,以及哪些植物正为生长空间而挣扎。他在修缮小径的同时,特意将某处弯道拓宽,为玫瑰丛留出生长的余地;又用深浅微差的砖块铺出柔和的纹路,将视线引向一张古朴的长椅)”可推知,在Mr. Henderson的影响下,Ben学会了将自然元素和故事融入他的工作中,而不是仅仅坚持精确的测量或完全按照自己的设计。故选B项。
34.推理判断题。根据第六段中“In that quiet moment, surrounded by the sound of rain and the smell of wet soil, Ben felt a shift within himself. He realized that Mr. Henderson wasn’t just building a path or tending plants; he was fostering a living, breathing ecosystem where every imperfection had a purpose.(在那安静的时刻,被雨声和湿土的气味包围着,Ben感到自己内心发生了变化。他意识到,Mr. Henderson不仅仅是在铺路或照料植物;他正在培育一个活生生的、呼吸着的生态系统,在这个系统中,每一个不完美都有其目的)”和第七段“On the last day of the program, Ben looked at the garden — not as a collection of individual plants and structures, but as a whole. The winding path, the uneven flower beds, the trees of different heights — it all worked together in a harmonious, beautiful way. He opened his sketchbook to a new page. This time, he didn’t draw a towering skyscraper. Instead, he began sketching a design for a small, sustainable community library, one with lots of natural light, green walls, and pathways that adapted to the existing trees.(在项目的最后一天,Ben看着花园——不是把它看作是一堆单独的植物和建筑,而是看作一个整体。蜿蜒的小路,高低不平的花坛,高低不一的树木——所有这些都和谐而美丽地结合在一起。他把速写本翻到新的一页。这一次,他没有画高耸的摩天大楼。相反,他开始设计一个小型的、可持续发展的社区图书馆,一个拥有大量自然光线、绿色墙壁和适应现有树木的路径的图书馆)”可知,Ben最终素描本设计发生变化的关键原因是他对设计的理解已经演变为包括与自然的和谐共处。故选C项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中“Ben finally understood. True design wasn’t about forcing order on the world. It was about listening to it, learning from it, and creating spaces where both people and nature could thrive, imperfectly and beautifully together.(Ben终于明白。真正的设计不是给世界强加秩序。而是倾听它,向它学习,创造一个人类和自然都能在不完美和美丽中共同繁荣的空间)”可知,文章通过Ben在社区花园项目中的经历,展示了与自然合作、倾听自然并从中学习的设计理念,故事的主题是真正的设计源于与自然的合作。故选A项。
三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Hard work is often the only competitive advantage many people possess. We may not be as experienced or as 36 as other people.
But we can always work harder, smarter and longer.
As Kara Lawson-the Duke women's basketball team head coach-says, generally speaking, there's a huge 37 between working hard and competing.
Plenty of people work hard. But what is the best praise you can receive or give?
You competed.
38 Lawson, most people mistake hard work for competitiveness:
“Hard work is I give you a task. I give you limitations on some task. I say, ‘You have to do this, in this amount of time, with this much weight.’ And then I force you to do it. I can force you to work hard just by what I ask you to do. You can't force someone to 39 .”
The difference might seem amazing. Hard work requires effort and so does competing.
But working hard doesn't automatically mean 40 improvement. I can put in countless hours of effort without ever trying to “win.”
As Lawson says to her players:
“At the end of every session, that's the question you're asking yourself: Did I compete today?
That's different than working hard. Working hard is something some people do. Many people work hard in whatever job they do. Before you start, and then when you're done, be 41 with yourself: ‘Did I compete today?”
When you think you're 42 , when you think you've done all you can, remember: You always find a little more inside you. You are capable of more than you think. Dig deep. Work a little harder.
When you're on the downside(劣势)of 43 and reaching a goal feels impossible, don't just work hard.
Compete: Make the extra phone call. Do the extra preparation. And remember to offer to not just tell 44 what to do but show them and then work beside them.
Every day, compete: to be the best boss you can be, the most empathetic(同理心的) listener you can be... Whatever it is, compete.
Competing will make you an even 45 “you” than you are today.
And that's the only competition that really matters.
36.A.devoted B.satisfied C.talented D.excited
