It was one of those autumn days people anticipate in a sticky summer. The scenery along the way was 16 . Trees filled in the shade card (配色样) between light green and dark reddish brown, with birds 17 overhead. I realized what motivated people to 18 the race to live more rurally. After a few wet weeks in London, autumn just seemed better out here. I’ve spent the past 15 years living in cities where I feel most at home and comfortable. Yet even in cities, I have found that nature is something I 19 with daily. Before I moved to Brixton, we lived in a flat surrounded by a small woodland. There was a dawn chorus so loud that waking up at 5 a.m. was 20 . Watching the birds-breakfasting of the blue tits or the darting (窜上窜下) of the nuthatch-became a soap opera I was deeply 21 . In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic and the loud music from nearby bars. Cities aren’t, traditionally, strongholds of naturalism. It was always true from William Blake’s dark mills (磨坊) to contemporary 22 that found 11 million people in England, almost entirely in 23 areas, have to walk at least ten minutes to find green space. Now standing in that new garden in Brixton, 24 the birdsong, I knew that made sense. And I knew nature was there-I just needed to 25 it. It took me a while to make finding it an active practice. Then I found it on a balcony, four north-facing storeys up on a hill in Camberwell. The balcony had a good 26 : all of London’s shining buildings beneath high skies whose colors and clouds 27 by the minute. It was so small that you had to look 28 . It is a (n) essential part of enjoying nature, 29 you find it. To be out on the balcony allowed me to 30 into things that were bigger than my career, my relationship or my very sense of self. Somehow city nature seems to be even more vital and beautiful than it is in the countryside. Honey made by London bees tastes delicious because there are so many different flowers to 31 . Every plant here arrived with a story. Wild ivy (常青藤) climbs freely over 32 walls and broken fences. Its tiny seeds are carried far and 33 by the wind stirred up (激起, 挑起) by passing vehicles. Autumn did 34 in London in the end. A few weeks after Somerset, I saw the red maple leaves in a street. As I cycled through Burgess Park under pink skies, I saw dogs surrounded by mist. And one morning, looking out at the garden, I saw birds there: two blackbirds, a sparrow and a couple of robins. Our nature here is 35 , but no less beautiful. 16. A. splendid B. distant C. vague D. familiar 17. A. feeding B. circling C. migrating D. screaming 18. A. get into B. give in C. drop out of D. draw back 19. A. compete B. engage C. share D. work 20. A. affordable B. comfortable C. inevitable D. suitable 21. A. keen on B. moved by C. scared of D. cared about 22. A. response B. statistics C. phase D. dilemma 23. A. ordinary B. regular C. rural D. urban 24. A. enjoying B. hearing C. missing D. recording 25. A. look for B. see to C. think of D. work on 26. A. feel B. reputation C. sign D. view 27. A. changed B. remained C. disappeared D. waited 28. A. suddenly B. closely C. directly D. outside 29. A. whenever B. whatever C. however D. wherever 30. A. break B. come C. tune D. turn 31. A. fix on B. dine on C. survive on D. prey on 32. A. abandoned B. wooden C. firm D. ancient 33. A. high B. fast C. wide D. slowly 34. A. arrive B. display C. join D. stay 35.

This text is most probably taken from ________ A. a research paper B. a shopping advertisement C. a news report D. a travel magazine B After 84 days without catching a single fish, an old fisherman, Santiago, sails far out to sea without his devoted Manolin. The fish he eventually catches is so big that it pulls the boat for two whole days and nights. Despite being wounded and exhausted, Santiago battles to hold the line that holds the fish. On the third day, the fish finally tires, allowing Santiago to kill it with harpoon (鱼叉). But the blood from the fish attracts sharks, which Santiago bravely fights throughout the day and night. Although he succeeds in killing some of the sharks, yet more of these predators appear. The shark closed fast and its head was out of water and the old man could hear the noise of flesh ripping (撕裂、划破) on the big fish when the old-man rammed (猛扎) the harpoon down onto the shark’s head at a spot where the line between his eyes intersected with the line that ran straight back from his nose. There were no such lines. But that was the location of the brain and the old man hit it. He hit it with all his strength. He hit it without hope but with resolution and determined hostility. The shark swung over and the old man saw his eye was not alive and knew that he was dead. “He took about forty pounds,” the old man said aloud. He took my harpoon too and all the rope, he thought, and now my fish bleeds again and there will be more sharks. He did not like to look at the fish anymore since he had been - mutilated (残缺不全). When the fish had been hit it was as though he himself were hit. “But I killed the shark that hit my fish,” he thought. And he was the biggest dentuso that I have ever seen. “It was too good to last,” he thought. “I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish and was alone in bed on the newspapers.” But man is not made for defeat, he said. A man can be destroyed but not defeated. I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought. Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon. The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent. But I was more intelligent than he was. Perhaps not, he thought. Perhaps I was only better armed. “Don’t think, old man,” he said aloud. “Sail on this course and take it when it comes.” But I must think, “Think about something cheerful, old man,” he said. “Every minute now you are closer to home. You sail lighter for the loss of forty pounds.” “Now,” he said. “I am still an old man. But I am not unarmed.” The breeze was fresh now and he sailed on well. He watched only the forward part of the fish and some of his hope returned. (Excerpt from The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway) 41. Why did sharks come to attack the big fish? A. Because the old man hit the shark on its head. B. Because the blood from the fish drew sharks. C. Because the sharks were following the boat for days. D. Because the big fish made loud noises in the water. 42. In the underlined part “I wish it had been a dream...”, “it” refers to __________ A. the catching of fish and fighting sharks B. his sailing far out to the sea alone C. the loss of his harpoon to the sharks D. the tiredness and wounds on his hands 43. What made the old man regain some hope? A. He thought the sharks would not return. B. He found that the fish was still in good condition. C. He believed he would meet other fishermen soon. D. His believed he could sail on and return home safely 44. What message does the passage convey? A. Man should give up in time when facing danger. B. Fishermen should not sail far out to sea alone. C. True man stays positive and never gives in. D. Complaining only makes things worse. 45. What can we infer about Santiago from the passage? A. He is a determined and strong-minded person. B. He is a persistent but inexperienced fisherman. C. He is not physically strong but a brave man. D. He is not only sympathetic but optimistic. 46. Why did the old man regret hooking the fish at one time? ① Because the shark he killed was the smartest in the world. ② The fish was torn by sharks and the gain was not satisfying. ③ He regretted going out to sea alone without any helper. ④ He was almost in despair and exhaustion. ⑤ He has lost his harpoon and the rope. ⑥ He knew more danger was coming. A. ②③⑥ B. ①④⑤ C. ①③④ D. ②⑤⑥ C Imagine yourself sitting down to have a cheese sandwich for breakfast. You’re picking it up to take your first bite, when all of a sudden you see a face in the toast. This is how Diane Duyser started one of her days back in 1994. This cheese sandwich ended up being sold for $28,000 because Duyser was able to market it as having “mystical (神秘的)powers.” However, cognitive psychology (认知心理学) would reveal that the true power at work in this story is pareidolia (空想性错视). Pareidolia is the tendeney to perceive an entity (实体) in a random object like a cloud, a mountain, or the wallpaper in your bedroom. Face Pareidolia can be specially defined as seeing face-like features in everyday objects. From banana peels to car headlights people find faces in all kinds of unexpected places. But how and why does this happen? According to Dr. Colin Palmer from the University of New South Wales, face perception is involved in understanding face pareidolia. Dr. Palmer is the lead researcher of a new study published in the journal Psychological Science. The likely reason behind this is that the brain is quick to recognize basic features that describe a human face. But face perception also includes the ability to recognize who the person is, and to read information from their face. Dr. Palmer said that these associations depend on parts of the brain that specialize in extracting (提取) this information from what the person sees. Are the mechanisms (机制) used in extracting this information in identifying a real human face also the same when a person experiences face pareidolia? Dr. Palmer and his colleagues tried to determine this. They found that repeated exposure to pareidolia faces that conveyed a specific direction of attention (for example, objects that appeared to be looking towards the left) influenced how a person perceives an object. That means the feeling of pareidolia “may be because the features of the object are activating related mechanisms in your brain,” the researchers said. In other words, the human brain processes the “fake” face the same way it processes real faces. Studies have shown that face pareidolia has also been observed among monkeys. According to Dr. Palmer, face pareidolia might be a product inherited from the primates (灵长类动物). So if a person evolved to be excellent in identifying faces, it may lead to his seeing fake faces. Dr. Palmer said their research could help scientists better understand cognitive disorders relating to facial recognition. These include prosopagnosia (脸盲症) and autism spectrum disorder (自闭症谱系障), in which those affected could have difficulty processing information from the faces of other people. 47. What is face pareidolia according to the passage? A. The ability to recognize real human faces quickly. B. The tendency to see face-like features in ordinary objects. C. A cognitive disorder that affects facial recognition. D. A mystical power that makes objects look like human faces. 48. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To tell a funny story about a cheese sandwich. B. To introduce the concept of pareidolia with a real example. C. To explain why Diane Duyser sold her sandwich at a high price. D. To show the importance of cognitive psychology in daily life. 49. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Mystical powers are the key to understanding unusual visual phenomena. B. Dr. Palmer’s research investigates how the brain processes both real and fake faces. C. Pareidolia is explained through research on brain mechanisms related to face perception. D. Face pareidolia can help scientists study cognitive disorders like prosopagnosia. 50. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Only humans have the ability to experience face pareidolia. B. The brain processes “fake” faces differently from real faces. C. Face pareidolia may be a result of human evolution. D. Dr. Palmer’s research has cured people with prosopagnosia. D In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation. Engaging in charity activities fosters deeper human connections, enhances interpersonal relationships, and profoundly influences individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment. At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection. Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging, linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments. These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks, as individuals unite under a common purpose. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connect on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial. Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction. This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual, as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities, creating a positive cycle of altruism and well-being. Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships. By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion. This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society. Additionally, the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance. In conclusion, the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts. By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being, acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger, more resilient communities. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (使…焕新) human connections and improve individual mental health. The cultivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own, creating a more compassionate and harmonious society. By choosing to engage in giving, we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities. 51. What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. An effective solution. B. A harmful result. C. A social trend. D. A mental disease. 52. According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A. The release of endorphins that improve mood. B. The significant improvement of social fairness. C. The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D. The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience. 53. What is the main idea of the essay? A. Individualism is the root cause of societal problems. B. Altruism is the only solution to mental health issues. C. Giving behavior benefit individuals and communities in many ways. D. Modern society is becoming more and more individualistic and isolated. 54. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B. By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments. C. By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D. By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 55. Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage? A. People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B. Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity. C. Being kind would have significant impact on health. D. Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. 第II卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 For a year after my multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症) diagnosis, I navigated life from a wheelchair, adapting to profound changes. I trained myself to accept new limits, giving up my demanding hospital job and learning to rely on help from my husband, children, and friends. While the wheelchair brought a degree of independence, a deeper restlessness grew within me — a longing for the spontaneous, adventurous spirit that had defined my life before illness. I longed to seize a moment of pure joy again. One night, I quietly wished for a sign, a direction toward something that could bring back that spark. Soon after, returning from my daughter’s concert, a large roadside advertisement for tandem skydiving (双人跳伞) caught my eye. An immediate sense of certainty washed over me. Despite my family’s worried reactions, I contacted the company and scheduled the jump. On a perfect day, my family waited below. After the safety briefing in the hangar (停机坪), I boarded the small aircraft calmly alongside others. As we climbed with the open door, the thrilling rush of wind filled me with anticipation. When it was my turn, my partner and I moved to the open doorway, our feet dangling over the edge. With a final countdown, we pushed off into the sky. The initial rapid fall took my breath away, followed by an immense, peaceful silence as the parachute opened. Gliding through the air, I felt a profound sense of liberation and lightness I had not experienced in years. Touching down gently, I was met with cheers and embraces. The celebration at the hangar was filled with shared excitement and relief. Weeks later, when the professional photos arrived, we gathered to look through them. As I described each thrilling moment, I noticed a familiar face in nearly every picture — the kind skydiver who had driven me back up the hill after landing. Unaware at the time, I realized he had been quietly present throughout the entire experience, a watchful and reassuring presence from takeoff to touchdown. This adventure restored my perspective. Choosing courage over caution, and discovering seen and unseen support, I reclaimed a part of my lost life. I learned that great limitation can lead to unexpected, soaring freedom. 56.
