At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
24. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”?
A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.
25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.
A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin
C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community
26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.
A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy
C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice
27. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self.
C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create.
C
As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect.
Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.
Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently.
Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers.
To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace.
Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to neglect the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualities are equally important.
Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities.
28. What is the writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process?
A. The threats from technology.
B. The shortage of experienced workers.
C. The culture of quiet quitting.
D. The challenge of upskilling workforces.
29. What can be learnt from paragraph 4 and 5?
A. Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces.
B. High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce.
C. Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key.
D. Business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool.
30. What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Challenging. B. Inspiring.
C. Crucial. D. Beneficial.
31. What might be the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills.
B. To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills.
C. To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap.
D. To warn humans of the potential problems with technology.
D
Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.
What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.
This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.
Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth.
32. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”?
A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics.
33. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome?
A. Students absorbed in social media.
B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies.
C. People struggling with physical disabilities.
D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome?
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Optimistic.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others?
C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character?
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,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。请将答案写在答题卷上。
Voice notes are a highly divisive medium of communication. There are those,like me, who enjoy both leaving and listening to them; and then there are those who dislike them and feel very strongly about that. ____36____ A poll found that 62% of Americans have sent voice notes, and about 30% communicate this way on a regular basis. But even the voice note lovers among us have our limits. All of us know a voice note bore. And it is time to establish some ground rules.
The first rule: only ever leave voice notes for someone that you are confident likes you. ____37____ It is also somewhat self-indulgent (我行我素).While a spot of self-indulgence can be healthy, it is unreasonable to expect someone who dislikes you to indulge you.
Never give complicated instructions in a voice note. ____38____ If you end up leaving a long voice note that contains a mixture of key information and other bits, follow it up with a text that gives the other person the important stuff, so they're not forced to listen straight away.
____39____ Leaving a voice note that is under 10 seconds long-unless you are funny or the other person likes you-is annoying. Type it out instead.
Follow the other person's cues. If they are responding to your eight-minute specials with one-minute voice messages, take the hint. Also, if your message is longer than about four minutes, you should be open to the possibility that the other person is going to take a long time to listen and respond. If your message is upwards of 10 minutes, they might never listen to it. ____40____
All you need do, really, is remember to use a bit of common sense. Modern innovations need not negate good old-fashioned manners.
A. Be at peace with that.
B. Be responsive and informative.
C. You need not keep your messages too short.
D. It seems the haters are losing the battle, though.
E. A voice note is a demand on someone else's time.
F. It suggests limiting voice notes to less than two minutes.
G. These should be typed out so the other person can refer back.

Inspired by my daughter’s tales of backpacking adventures and my desire to hang out with my youngest son outside the house, I booked two tickets to Shanghai for the September school holidays, surprising us both. We, ____56____ (arm) with a budget, some travel insurance, and a rough plan built around some last-minute internet searches, headed to the airport.

There is something very freeing about arriving in a place where you have no plans. And we didn’t.
I discovered that he could find his way ____59____ remembering landmarks. Within a day he’d become ____60____ navigator, and I was the lost one, following behind. As tourists, we were exposed to everything together, giving us back a connection we don’t always have in our daily lives.
He was the one who said we should hire bikes. He was the one who showed me how to speed up and led me through the streets downtown, laughing ____61____ I screamed in delight. He dragged me shopping for jeans in stores and made me catch buses ____62____ (take) us in the wrong direction entirely. He was just as likely as I was ____63____ (know) what train to catch, or find the right street to turn down, or stand in awe at the foot of a giant temple, or queue for hours for a steaming bowl of Xiaolongbao.
I saw him differently in Shanghai. Travelling meant we were more like ____64____(equal) — partners in adventure. And instead of missing the child version of him, I saw the adult he ____65____ (become).

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。
This was only Amy’s first year at SunRay Tech, yet she already felt like an old hand.
She read market reports on the subway, ate salad at her desk, and even practised her presentation while brushing her hair. Her small apartment, a thousand miles from home, witnessed all her efforts: notes, charts and presentation drafts covered the living-room table.
“Amy, you’re on fire!” her manager laughed one Monday. The words kept Amy smiling all afternoon. Then a company e-mail arrived:
Amy, congratulations! You are this year’s Outstanding New Employee. Please give an eight-minute speech at the company’s annual meeting on Sunday morning.
Amy’s heart jumped. She read the message again and again. That night she sat at her desk and wrote about the coffee that grew cold, the code that finally worked at 2 a.m., and the pride she felt when her first project helped the team win a new client.
Yet, from time to time, a faint guilt brushed her heart. She remembered her mother’s soft voice in their last video call: “Don’t work too hard, sweetheart. You’re already great. Come home for a rest.” Each time Amy whispered to herself, “Next month, Mum — on your birthday.”
She spent the next evenings perfecting every word and gesture. On Saturday evening she felt ready. Then the phone rang. It was Dad.
“Amy, tomorrow’s your mum’s fiftieth birthday. We’re planning a simple lunch. When are you coming home?”
Mum’s birthday! How could I forget? Shame washed over Amy. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. The meeting, the carefully prepared speech and her colleagues’ proud smiles all suddenly felt heavy in her chest.
“Dad, the company’s annual meeting is also tomorrow... I was supposed to give a speech as the Outstanding New Employee...” Her voice was tight with conflict.
“Oh, congratulations, sweetie. I understand — it’s a big day. Your mum will be so proud...”
Amy remained frozen for a moment, not knowing how the call ended. Then her eye fell on her family photo on the desk, with her parents on either side.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she knew what she had to do.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a light heart, Amy booked the earliest flight home.

W: Recycled? What do you mean?
M: The setting, the characters and even the plot were similar to Avatar? The director Cameron seems to have remade it.
W: You can’t be serious. There has to be something different.
M: The only difference is the title, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone to the cinema.
W: I thought you were a fan of the director. Is it because you expect too much of him?
M: Probably. The special effects of Avatar are so wonderful that I say “wow” every time I watch it. But this time I didn’t feel the excitement I had expected.
W: That explains it. Nothing can compare to Avatar in your mind. Why not give Avatar 2 a second chance? Then probably you will change your mind.

【原文】M: Jane, have you ever dreamt of exploring the sea?
W: Absolutely. The mysteries beneath the ocean’s surface are fascinating. Diving into the depths and discovering unknown sea life.
M: Yeah, it’s like entering a whole new world. The possibility of exploring historic sites is thrilling to me.
W: And there’s so much we haven’t seen. New species and underwater landscapes. Hey, I’d like to go diving one day. Do we need special training for scuba diving?
M: Yeah, divers need to learn how to use a special equipment with a tank of compressed air called a scuba tank on their backs and a mask to see underwater. Clearly, divers can breathe and swim freely.
W: I once saw a video that showed divers using hand signals for communication.
M: Yeah, that’s necessary. And divers often encounter a unique sea life. I once saw a parrot fish when I went diving with my uncle, although I expected to see playful dolphins and graceful sea turtles.
W: Cool, can you teach me how to dive? I can’t wait to see a school of fish.

M: Don’t worry about it one bit. You’ll do great. This little interview is nothing compared to setting up this beautiful museum.
W: Thank you. Who would you say is your biggest hero?
M: Well, Crystal, you already know the answer to that. My adviser was Ansell Adams, the great nature photographer.
W: And where did you meet Ansell.
M: Well, it’s an odd story, actually. I was with my friends in the summer and they wanted to go fishing that day. I told them I would rather walk through the woods, so I hiked a mountain to relax alone and ran into Ansell at the top.
W: Let me guess, he was taking pictures of the rocks.
M: Almost. He was taking pictures of a special cloud. Immediately, he began telling me everything a person could know about clouds. He was a wealth of information. The amount of knowledge that Ansell had was important to me. However, it was the pure joy and love for teaching. And appreciating photography that got me.
W: And now you own your own studio. You design clothing and will soon have a permanent section here at the modern museum of art and technology.

【答案】18. C 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: The brains of humans and dogs respond in the same way to sounds like laughter and barking. The finding suggests that our voice processing areas are passed down from a common ancestor. Attila Andics of the MECE Research Group in Budapest, Hungary, and his colleagues trained 11 dogs to lie in a scanner. As the dogs listened to nearly 200 human and dog noises, the team recorded brain activity. They also performed the same experiment on 22 humans. Animals are usually asleep for scans. But recently, better training has meant some dogs will lie still long enough to be scanned while awake. Andics is the first to compare humans and dogs in the same experiment. Human and dog brains lit up in similar areas in response to the sounds. Dogs responded more to dog sounds, and humans responded more to human sounds. Andics says the results hint at a single evolutionary origin for the voice processing area of human and dog brains, dating back to at least 100 million years ago — the last time humans and dogs shared an ancestor. But Clive Wynne of Arizona State University offers an alternative explanation. “The dog’s responses could just be the result of a lifetime listening to humans voices,” he says.

Optionally, use the board for presentations or group reflections.(评估学生的贡献。选择性使用该板进行演示或小组反思)”可知,教师会生成QR码或与学生分享展板链接,故学习者对Padlet的创建的响应顺序是首先通过共享链接或二维码注册并加入论坛;然后教师直接在白板上提供反馈或促进基于提交情况的讨论,说明学生要添加帖子然后互相讨论;最后教师会评估学生的贡献并选择性使用该板进行演示或小组反思,推断学生可根据评论润色自己提交的内容,且在必要时组织条目。故正确的顺序是②①④③。故选B。
B
At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
24. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”?
A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.
25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.
A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin
C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community
26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.
A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy
C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice
27. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self.
C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者学习中国书法的经历和感悟,包括初次接触书法时的情景,名字的由来,在美国放弃中文名,回到香港学习书法的原因,老师对自己的评价,以及通过书法对自身的思考和认识等。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔,所以他们请算命先生给我取名字,希望能给我带来最大的好运。于是,我给自己取了一个毫无意义又尴尬的名字:陈薏温,意思大致是“陈旧”、“薏米”、“温暖”)”可知, 作者认为自己的名字“Chen Yi wen”是无意义且令人尴尬的,虽然父母是为了追求最大的运气才取这个名字,但她还是不喜欢。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.(当我在美国生活了14年后,于2021年搬到香港时,我决定学习书法。为什么不跟我的传统联系一下呢?我想)”可知,作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上,老师指着我刚完成的字对我说:“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择,你的计算,你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说:“这个字就是你。”)”可推知,从老师的话中,作者了解到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,特别是根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上,老师指着我刚完成的字对我说:“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择,你的计算,你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说:“这个字就是你。”)”可知,作者最初学习书法是为了 “接触文化遗产(get back in touch with my heritage)”,但过程中逐渐意识到 “what I was really seeking was a return to myself(我真正寻求的是回归自我)”,最终感悟到 “the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully(书法带来的乐趣让我更全面地了解自己)”。老师最后评价她的字 “this word is yours(这个字是你的)”,暗指 “字如其人”,作者通过书法探索自我、发现内在的价值与美好。故选B。
C
As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect.
Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.
Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently.
Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers.
To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace.
Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to neglect the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualities are equally important.
Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities.
28. What is the writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process?
A. The threats from technology.
B. The shortage of experienced workers.
C. The culture of quiet quitting.
D. The challenge of upskilling workforces.
29. What can be learnt from paragraph 4 and 5?
A. Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces.
B. High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce.
C. Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key.
D. Business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool.
30. What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Challenging. B. Inspiring.
C. Crucial. D. Beneficial.
31. What might be the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills.
B. To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills.
C. To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap.
D. To warn humans of the potential problems with technology.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了数字技能差距对企业数字化转型的挑战,强调提升员工技能及结合硬软技能的重要性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. (毕竟,让员工跟上最新进展是数字化转型过程的一个关键要素,如果我们希望在实现持续增长的努力中提高企业生产力和效率,这一点将被证明是至关重要的。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”可知,作者在数字化转型过程中主要关注的是提升员工技能的挑战。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. (而且,在吸引和赋能现有员工方面,学习和发展机会将是关键,帮助员工提升技能,既有利于自己,也有利于雇主。)”以及第五段中“Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. (创造一种强调个人成长的学习文化,可以成为工作场所中令人印象深刻的激励因素。)”可知,雇主应该在员工中培养一种学习文化。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. (从根本上说,如果企业要成功,正确处理人与技术之间的互动将是paramount。)”以及后文“As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. (因此,人的技能不能被低估。)”可知,正确处理人与技术之间的互动对企业成功至关重要,由此可推知,paramount意为“至关重要的”,与Crucial意思相近。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. (事实上,日益扩大的数字技能差距有可能阻止企业采用改变游戏规则的技术,而这些技术将有助于在未来几个月和几年推动增长。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”以及最后一段中“Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. (每个企业都需要一系列具有各种技能的人——不仅包括精通数学、工程和科学的人,还包括具有创造性思维和领导才能的人。)”可知,文章主要论述了数字技能差距对企业数字化转型的挑战,并强调了提升员工技能和培养学习文化的重要性,同时指出企业需要结合硬技能和软技能,才能成功应对未来的挑战。由此可推知,文章的写作目的是强调将硬技能与软技能相结合的重要性。

Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.
What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.
This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.
Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth.
32. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”?
A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics.
33. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome?
A. Students absorbed in social media.
B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies.
C. People struggling with physical disabilities.
D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome?
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Optimistic.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others?
C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character?
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法。

推理判断题。根据第一段中“John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.(约翰总是把工作场所的小分歧变成激烈的冲突,描述它们就像恐怖电影中的情节转折。艾米丽在社交媒体上精心挑选每一张照片,将自己的生活呈现为一系列理想化的时刻。或者想想马克,他经常在团体环境中期望得到特殊待遇,当没有得到优先权时,他会表现出明显的失望。这样做,他们往往很难真正理解或同情周围人的经历。这种行为是通常所说的“主角综合征”的典型特征。)”可知,作者通过举例(约翰、艾米丽和马克的行为)来阐释“主角综合征”这一概念。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.(此外,自恋倾向等性格特征,或缺乏安全感、自卑等情感困扰,以及以自我为中心的家庭教养方式,都会增加形成这种心态的可能性)”可推知,被过度保护的、以自我为中心的孩子最有可能患上主角综合征。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.(然而,它的潜在缺点往往超过了这些好处:它导致过度的自我中心,削弱了人际间的同理心,并通过将他人简化为仅仅是‘配角’而不是互动中的平等者来破坏真正的关系。)”可推知,作者对主角综合征持批判态度。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.(这种行为是通常所说的‘主角综合征’的典型特征)”可推知,文章主要讲述了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法,可知,A选项“Star of Your Own Story?(你自己的故事中的明星?)”最符合文章标题。故选A。
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,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。请将答案写在答题卷上。
Voice notes are a highly divisive medium of communication. There are those,like me, who enjoy both leaving and listening to them; and then there are those who dislike them and feel very strongly about that. ____36____ A poll found that 62% of Americans have sent voice notes, and about 30% communicate this way on a regular basis. But even the voice note lovers among us have our limits. All of us know a voice note bore. And it is time to establish some ground rules.
The first rule: only ever leave voice notes for someone that you are confident likes you. ____37____ It is also somewhat self-indulgent (我行我素).While a spot of self-indulgence can be healthy, it is unreasonable to expect someone who dislikes you to indulge you.
Never give complicated instructions in a voice note. ____38____ If you end up leaving a long voice note that contains a mixture of key information and other bits, follow it up with a text that gives the other person the important stuff, so they're not forced to listen straight away.
____39____ Leaving a voice note that is under 10 seconds long-unless you are funny or the other person likes you-is annoying. Type it out instead.
Follow the other person's cues. If they are responding to your eight-minute specials with one-minute voice messages, take the hint. Also, if your message is longer than about four minutes, you should be open to the possibility that the other person is going to take a long time to listen and respond. If your message is upwards of 10 minutes, they might never listen to it. ____40____
All you need do, really, is remember to use a bit of common sense. Modern innovations need not negate good old-fashioned manners.
A. Be at peace with that.
B. Be responsive and informative.
C. You need not keep your messages too short.
D. It seems the haters are losing the battle, though.
E. A voice note is a demand on someone else's time.
F. It suggests limiting voice notes to less than two minutes.
G. These should be typed out so the other person can refer back.
【答案】36. D 37. E 38. G 39. C 40. A

A Journey Back to Each Other
Inspired by my daughter’s tales of backpacking adventures and my desire to hang out with my youngest son outside the house, I booked two tickets to Shanghai for the September school holidays, surprising us both. We, ____56____ (arm) with a budget, some travel insurance, and a rough plan built around some last-minute internet searches, headed to the airport.
We arrived in Shanghai, sleepy and excited, at 5: 30 a.m. Despite the early start, the air was already hot and soupy, ____57____ my son used as an excuse to head straight for a convenience store and buy one of the many drinks he ____58____ (remember) from all those years before. There is something very freeing about arriving in a place where you have no plans. And we didn’t.
I discovered that he could find his way ____59____ remembering landmarks. Within a day he’d become ____60____ navigator, and I was the lost one, following behind. As tourists, we were exposed to everything together, giving us back a connection we don’t always have in our daily lives.
He was the one who said we should hire bikes. He was the one who showed me how to speed up and led me through the streets downtown, laughing ____61____ I screamed in delight. He dragged me shopping for jeans in stores and made me catch buses ____62____ (take) us in the wrong direction entirely. He was just as likely as I was ____63____ (know) what train to catch, or find the right street to turn down, or stand in awe at the foot of a giant temple, or queue for hours for a steaming bowl of Xiaolongbao.
I saw him differently in Shanghai. Travelling meant we were more like ____64____(equal) — partners in adventure. And instead of missing the child version of him, I saw the adult he ____65____ (become).

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者受女儿背包旅行故事启发,为陪伴小儿子,在九月学校假期一同前往上海旅行的经历。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们备好了预算、买了旅行保险,靠着临时上网搜索制定了一份粗略计划,就这样动身前往机场。此处应为非谓语动词作状语,be armed with为固定搭配,意为“备有;配备”,此处用过去分词短语作状语,表状态。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:尽管出发得很早,空气却早已闷热潮湿,儿子就以此为借口,径直走进便利店,买了一瓶他多年前就记着的众多饮品之一。空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指代前文整个句子,所以使用关系代词which引导。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:尽管出发得很早,空气却早已闷热潮湿,儿子就以此为借口,径直走进便利店,买了一瓶他多年前就记着的众多饮品之一。空处作谓语,根据时间状语from all those years before可知,此处表示“过去的过去”,所以使用过去完成时。故填had remembered。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:我发现他能通过记路标认路。by doing sth.表示“通过做某事”,此处指通过记路标认路。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:不到一天,他就成了向导,而我反倒迷了路,跟在他身后。此处特指这次旅行里的“向导”,表特指用定冠词the。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:是他教我如何加速,带着我穿梭在市中心的街道,在我开心地尖叫时放声大笑。空处引导时间状语从句,意为“当…… 的时候”,as和when均可。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他拉着我去店里买牛仔裤,还让我坐上完全开错方向的公交车。空处为非谓语动词作后置定语,take与bus之间为主动关系,所以使用现在分词形式。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该坐哪趟火车、该拐进哪条正确的街道、在宏伟的寺庙脚下驻足惊叹,或是排上几小时队只为一碗热气腾腾的小笼包,他和我一样拿得准主意。be likely to do sth.为固定短语,意为“有可能做某事”,所以此处使用动词不定式形式。
【64题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:旅行让我们更像平等的伙伴,一同踏上冒险。equal为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且没有冠词限定,所以使用名词复数形式。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我不再怀念儿时的他,而是看见了正在成长为大人的他。空处作谓语,强调当时“正在逐渐成长为大人”的过程,所以使用过去进行时,且主语为第三人称单数,所以be动词为was。

Dear Jenny,

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】One possible version:
Dear Jenny,
I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. I’m writing to express that my predilection goes to “Guess who I am”, which capitalizes on an object clause to signal its potential contents.
The column will serve as a catalyst for closer bonds between students. Redoubling efforts to boost academic performance, we pay little heed to other classmates’ personalities, hobbies, strengths, and even aspirations. Such an inviting column, adopting a “description and guess” approach, must expose everyone to others’ characteristics, thus strengthening mutual understanding. More importantly, more friendships will be forged, since the column enables us to befriend someone on the same wavelength.
This eye-catching column, I’m firmly convinced, won’t fail to grant the whole class a harmonious atmosphere.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
This was only Amy’s first year at SunRay Tech, yet she already felt like an old hand.
She read market reports on the subway, ate salad at her desk, and even practised her presentation while brushing her hair. Her small apartment, a thousand miles from home, witnessed all her efforts: notes, charts and presentation drafts covered the living-room table.
“Amy, you’re on fire!” her manager laughed one Monday. The words kept Amy smiling all afternoon. Then a company e-mail arrived:
Amy, congratulations! You are this year’s Outstanding New Employee. Please give an eight-minute speech at the company’s annual meeting on Sunday morning.
Amy’s heart jumped. She read the message again and again. That night she sat at her desk and wrote about the coffee that grew cold, the code that finally worked at 2 a.m., and the pride she felt when her first project helped the team win a new client.
Yet, from time to time, a faint guilt brushed her heart. She remembered her mother’s soft voice in their last video call: “Don’t work too hard, sweetheart. You’re already great. Come home for a rest.” Each time Amy whispered to herself, “Next month, Mum — on your birthday.”
She spent the next evenings perfecting every word and gesture. On Saturday evening she felt ready. Then the phone rang. It was Dad.
“Amy, tomorrow’s your mum’s fiftieth birthday. We’re planning a simple lunch. When are you coming home?”
Mum’s birthday! How could I forget? Shame washed over Amy. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. The meeting, the carefully prepared speech and her colleagues’ proud smiles all suddenly felt heavy in her chest.
“Dad, the company’s annual meeting is also tomorrow... I was supposed to give a speech as the Outstanding New Employee...” Her voice was tight with conflict.
“Oh, congratulations, sweetie. I understand — it’s a big day. Your mum will be so proud...”
Amy remained frozen for a moment, not knowing how the call ended. Then her eye fell on her family photo on the desk, with her parents on either side.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she knew what she had to do.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a light heart, Amy booked the earliest flight home.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she knew what she had to do. She picked up the phone and called her manager, explaining the situation with a sincere tone. To her surprise, her manager praised her decision and assured her the speech could be rescheduled. After hanging up, she tidied up her desk, putting away the speech drafts and replacing them with the family photo. The heavy feeling in her chest faded, replaced by a warm longing to see her parents.
With a light heart, Amy booked the earliest flight home. She packed a small suitcase, slipping in the hand-knit scarf she’d made for her mother. Early the next morning, she rushed to the airport, her mind filled with thoughts of her mother’s surprised face. When she arrived home, her mother hugged her tightly, tears of joy in her eyes. The simple lunch was filled with laughter, and Amy realized that no award or speech could compare to the warmth of family. That fiftieth birthday became the most unforgettable day for both Amy and her mother.

Let me guess. He was taking pictures of the rocks. almost. He was taking pictures of a special cloud. Immediately, he began telling me everything. A person who could know about clouds, he was a wealth of information. The amount of knowledge that ansel had was important to me. However, IT was the pure joy and love for teaching and appreciating photography that got me. And now you own your own studio, you design clothing. And we'll soon have a permanent section here at the modern museum of art and technology. Rn, old IT is lovely that he agreed to come and do this for me. Don't worry about IT one bit. You'll do great. This little interview is nothing compared to setting up this beautiful museum. Thank you. Who would you say is your biggest hero? Well, Crystal, you already know the answer to that.

The findings, ings suggests that a voice processing areas are passed down from a common ancestor, adeler addicts of the MECE research group in boot past, hungry at his colleagues, trained eleven dogs to lie in a scanner. As the dogs listened to the nearly two hundred human and dog noises, the team recorded brain activity. They also performed the same experiment on twenty two humans. Animals are usually asleep for scans, but recently, Better training has meant some dogs will lie still long enough to be scanned while awake. And dick is the first to compare humans and dogs. In the same experiment, human and dog brains let up in similar areas. In response to the sounds, dogs responded more to dog sounds, and humans responded more to human sounds. And dicks says the results hint at a single evolutionary origin for the voice processing area of human and dog brains, dating back to at least one hundred million years ago, the last time humans and dogs shared an ancestor. But clive win of arizona state university offers an alternative explanation. The dog's responses could just be the result of a lifetime listening to humans voices.
