Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. W: Excuse me, is there a gym in this hotel?
M: Yes, it operates from 8 a.m. till 9 p.m. on weekdays, and for weekends it is closed an hour later.
Q: When is the gym in this hotel closed on Saturday?
2. W: Oh, my bike chain came off again. Can you fix it before soccer practice?
M: Sure, bring it to the garage. And remember to put your dirty uniform in the laundry.
Q: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers?
3. M: Sarah, could you buy some bread from the bakery after work?
W: Sorry, I need to go to the gas station and then to the café. But I can get some at the supermarket nearby.
Q: Where will the woman probably buy the bread?
4. M: I’m feeling dizzy. Maybe I should just take some aspirin and lie down.
W: You look pale. Forget the aspirin. I’m driving you to the hospital right now. You need to get checked out right away.
Q: What will the man probably do next?
5. W: I’m so sorry, sir. I’m still training and I completely mixed up your coffee order.
M: Well, it is a bit inconvenient as I’m in a hurry. But don’t worry, we all start somewhere.
Q: What is the man’s attitude?
6. M: So, how are the final preparations going for tomorrow?
W: Almost. I’ve booked the community center, contacted most guests, and arranged some background music.
Q: What is the conversation mainly about?
M: With all these instant messaging apps, we can solve work problems in minutes.
W: It is efficient, I agree. But sometimes I miss those long, thoughtful business letters. They forced everyone to think deeply before responding.
Q: What does the woman mean?
8. M: This online order is two days late! I’m going to cancel it and leave a negative review.
W: I understand you’re frustrated, but remember that’s due to the storms. The seller probably can’t control this.
Q: What does the woman imply?
9. M: This laptop is driving me crazy. It keeps freezing and the battery barely lasts an hour now.
W: Well, you could spend a fortune on repairs and a new battery. Why not upgrade it? The IT department has already approved the budget.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
10. M: I haven’t painted for years. I tried to copy the famous artist’s style perfectly, but I feel my painting is lifeless.
W: You’re too hard on yourself. Your technique is excellent, and you’ve actually added your own emotion to it. That’s why it feels unique, not lifeless.
Q: What does the woman think about the man’s painting?
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
For most children, school means crowded classrooms, tasteless sandwiches and bell schedules. For some, it means doing workbooks at Cinderella Castle, writing thank-you letters to Snow White and grabbing fresh sweet snacks during snack break. These are the Disney homeschoolers. “We’re not just doing rides and calling it school,” said Lisa, a former teacher who home-schools her three children, ages 5 and younger. “They learn to regulate emotions, speak up for themselves and interact with others. That’s real learning too.”
Orlando is a popular destination for what some call Disneyschooling. Hundreds of families go to the Disney World parks several times a week, or even every day, as part of their curriculum. Lisa’s days start with reading and table work at home. Then she’s off to the parks three or four times a week. If her children are learning about animals, they go see tigers at the Maharajah Jungle Trek. If they’re curious about Paris, they visit the France Pavilion. Park maps are textbooks for finding their way around. Wait times for rides are lessons on abstract math, instead of a source of family stress.
Some moms go further. Susan, a former middle school English teacher with a 10-year-old daughter, runs a shop selling Disney-inspired workbooks parents can use at the parks.
Now listen again.
Questions:
11. According to Lisa, what do children learn at Disney?
12. What can be inferred about “Disneyschooling”?
13. What is the passage mainly talking about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Right, everyone, let’s make a start. Over the past few sessions, we’ve been considering the reasons why some world languages are in decline, and today I’m discussing how digital technology affects languages. I’m going to focus on the Icelandic language, which is spoken by around 321,000 people, most of whom live in Iceland.
The problem for this language is not the number of speakers. Nor is it about losing words to other language. In fact, the vocabulary of Icelandic is continually increasing because when speakers need a new word, they tend to create one, rather than borrowing from another language. Take, for example, the word for web browser ... this is “vafri” in Icelandic, which comes from the verb “to wander”. I can’t think of a more appropriate term because that’s exactly what you do mentally when you browse the Internet.
However, young Icelanders spend a great deal of time in the digital world where English dominates. Today young people use smartphones all the time to read books, watch TV or films, play games, listen to music, and so on. Teachers have found that playground conversations in Icelandic secondary schools can be conducted entirely in English, while teachers of much younger children have reported situations where their classes find it easier to say what is in a picture using English, rather than Icelandic. The very real and worrying consequence of all this is that the young generation in Iceland is at risk of losing its mother tongue.
Now listen again.
Questions
What can be learned about the Icelandic language?
15. What concern do teachers report about students?
16.What is the speaker’s focus in this speech?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Thank you for calling City Tech Support. How can I help you today?
W: Hello, we’re having a serious internet problem. Our WiFi stopped working suddenly while I was in an important online meeting.
M: I understand this is troubling, ma’am. Could I get your name and account number please?
W: It’s Jennifer Miller, account number 739185.
M: Well, our records show there was a major service problem in your area about an hour ago. Were you using several devices when the Internet stopped?
W: Yes, I had my laptop, phone, and tablet all connected.
M: It seems there was damage to internet lines because of construction work in your neighborhood.
W: Is it possible to send someone today? I really need to get back online quickly.
M: Let me check our schedule. The next available time will be this Thursday afternoon.
W: Thursday? But today is Monday! Isn’t there any other solution?
M: Let me check something else... Actually, we can provide you with a mobile WiFi device until the main service is repaired.
W: That would be wonderful! How can I get it?
M: We can ship it to you, arriving tomorrow, or you can pick one up today at any of our service centers. The closest one to you is about 20 minutes away.
W: I’ll go to the service center right now. Thank you so much!
M: You’re welcome. The device will be ready when you arrive. Is there anything else I can help with?
W: No, that’s perfect. Thank you again!
M: Have a good day.
Questions:
17. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?
18. What caused the woman’s problem?
19.What can be learned from the woman’s reaction to the first solution?
20. What will the woman probably do immediately after the call?

Section B(22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
While ball games and chess dominate the spotlight, some unusual sports remain off the radar but they’re just as thrilling! These activities not only lift your spirits but also bring back the true essence of sports: FUN! Here are four fascinating examples:
Quidditch
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, this magical game is now a real international sport. Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. Combining elements of rugby and dodgeball, it’s called “Muggle Quidditch” since non-magical folks play it without magic.
Yubi Lakpi
This traditional Indian game resembles football, but with a twist — players use a coconut instead of a ball. Two teams compete to carry the coconut into the opponent’s goal area. To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. Tough enough? Give it a try!
Zorbing
Imagine rolling downhill inside a giant plastic ball. That’s zorbing! It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it’s more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends!
Toe Wrestling
Yes, it’s real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other’s toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It’s toe-wrestling time!
56.What must Quidditch players do throughout the game?
A.Control the team with magic.
B.Pass a rugby ball to other folks.
C.Hold a broom between their legs.
D.Obey rules from the Harry Potter series.
57.How do players make it difficult for the opposing team in Yubi Lakpi?
A.By wetting the fields.
B.By oiling themselves.
C.By polishing the coconuts.
D.By blocking the opponents.
58.What do Zorbing and Toe Wrestling have in common?
A.Both take place on gentle slopes.
B.Both involve close-body contact.
C.Both qualify as championship events.
D.Both feature fun-oriented recreation.
【答案】56.C 57.B 58.D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种鲜为人知但同样精彩刺激的体育运动,分别是魁地奇、尤比拉克皮、滚球和脚趾摔跤,展现了这些运动独特的魅力和乐趣。
56.细节理解题。根据第二段“Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. (每队有七名球员,每名球员必须自始至终在两腿之间夹着一把扫帚。)”可知,魁地奇运动员在整个比赛过程中必须保持两腿之间夹着一把扫帚。故选C项。
57.细节理解题。根据第三段“To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. (为了使比赛更具挑战性,球员们在身上涂油,使自己滑溜溜的,难以抓住。)”可知,在尤比拉克皮比赛中,球员们通过在自己身上涂油来让对方难以抓住自己,从而给对方制造困难。故选B项。
58.推理判断题。根据第四段“It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it’s more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends! (它起源于20世纪90年代的新西兰,现已成为世界各地流行的户外冒险活动。通常在缓坡或平地上进行,它更多的是关于滚动的乐趣,而不是竞争。非常适合和朋友一起出去玩乐的一天!)”以及第五段“Yes, it’s real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other’s toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It’s toe-wrestling time! (是的,这是真的,它甚至还有世界锦标赛!类似于掰手腕,对手试图将对方的脚趾压下三秒钟。比赛在左右脚之间交替进行,三局两胜制决定胜负。所以,脱掉你的鞋子和袜子。脚趾摔跤时间到!)”可知,滚球和脚趾摔跤都强调乐趣,是以娱乐为导向的休闲活动。故选D项。
(B)
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
59.What does the new study focus on?
A.The origin of human language. B.Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C.Animals’ recognition of shapes. D.Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
60.In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds?
A.Sound localization. B.Reaction speed.
C.Exploration preference. D.Matching accuracy.
61.What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect?
A.Its historical context. B.Its potential application.
C.Its overlooked limitation. D.Its possible explanation.
62.What does Loconsole say about the effect?
A.It originated in birds. B.It shows evolutionary tendency.
C.It’s shared across species. D.It’s vital to language emergence.
【答案】59.B 60.C 61.D 62.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应,即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来;一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象,并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性,同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。
59.细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现:雏鸡也会做出同样的配对,这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知,这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。
60.细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时,80%会先靠近圆润形状,平均花三分多钟探索它,而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知,雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。
61.主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为,这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的,现在可以排除这种说法,因为小鸡尽管不会说话,但还是表现出了这种效果。相反,“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知,本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。
62.推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说:“即使语言是人类独有的,这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知,她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。
(C)
Historically, the worker who worked the most hours was widely seen as an organization’s most valuable employee. But that is no longer true: as AI promises to transform how we work, and the four-day-workweek movement gains steam, it is time to admit once and for all that working more does not make you more productive.
In fact, many workers could dutifully keep themselves busy for an entire day without doing anything of real value, instead answering pointless emails and attending unnecessary meetings. Meanwhile, many are struggling under the unsustainable consequences of applying an industrial-era measure of productivity — namely, dividing output by hours — to our modern knowledge economy. As a result, workers are under constant pressure to relinquish their rightfully earned time to prove their commitment.
Those who finish their tasks more quickly are typically rewarded with more work to fill the hours they’ve saved, in what is sometimes referred to as “performance punishment.” A co-worker who works through evenings, weekends, or lunch breaks to complete the same workload, meanwhile, is often more likely to be praised or even promoted for their perceived commitment. This dynamic ultimately creates more pressure to look busy than to deliver value, which is getting in the way of actually getting work done and holding back organizational productivity while wearing down workers’ well-being.
So it is time for us to be smarter about how we work. That is ultimately what the four-day-workweek movement seeks to inspire. Instead of just giving everyone an extra vacation day each week, when positioned as a performance-based motivator, the four-day workweek becomes a wake-up call to refocus our time and energy at work on the things that really matter to the business.
In today’s knowledge economy and tomorrow’s AI reality, the most successful individuals, organizations, and nations won’t be those that work the most hours, but those that are the most effective at making their working hours count.
63.How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By listing AI-driven changes in work.
B.By challenging the hours-productivity link.
C.By describing employee-centered practices.
D.By advocating a short-time working pattern.
64.What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Set aside. B.Count on.
C.Give up. D.Care about.
65.What weakens organizational effectiveness according to paragraph 3?
A.Job burnout.
B.Performative busyness.
C.Unfair punishment.
D.Unnoticed commitment.
66.What does the author think of the four-day workweek?
A.A reward for efficiency at work.
B.A wake-up call to stay competitive.
C.A push to think smarter about work.
D.A preparation for the uncertain future.
【答案】63.B 64.C 65.B 66.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了工作时间长不等于高效及四天工作周的意义。
63.推理判断题。根据第一段“Historically, the worker who worked the most hours was widely seen as an organization’s most valuable employee. But that is no longer true: as AI promises to transform how we work, and the four-day-workweek movement gains steam, it is time to admit once and for all that working more does not make you more productive.(从历史上看,工作时间最长的工人被广泛视为组织中最有价值的员工。但这种情况已不再如此:随着人工智能有望改变我们的工作方式,以及四天工作周运动逐渐兴起,是时候彻底承认,工作时间更长并不会让你更有效率。)”可知,作者通过挑战工作时间与生产力之间的联系来引入话题。故选B。
64.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Meanwhile, many are struggling under the unsustainable consequences of applying an industrial - era measure of productivity — namely, dividing output by hours — to our modern knowledge economy. As a result, workers are under constant pressure to relinquish their rightfully earned time to prove their commitment.(与此同时,许多人在将工业时代的生产力衡量标准——即用产出除以工时——应用于现代知识经济时,正面临着不可持续的后果。因此,工人们面临着不断relinquish他们理应获得的时间以证明自己的忠诚度的压力。)”可知,由于用不合适的标准衡量生产力,工人要不断放弃自己应得的时间来证明忠诚度,relinquish意思是“放弃”,与Give up意思相近。故选C。
65.细节理解题。根据第三段中“This dynamic ultimately creates more pressure to look busy than to deliver value, which is getting in the way of actually getting work done and holding back organizational productivity while wearing down workers’ well-being.(这种动态最终造成了看起来忙碌比创造价值更大的压力,这阻碍了实际工作的完成,阻碍了组织生产力,同时也削弱了员工的福祉。)”可知,表面的忙碌削弱了组织效率。故选B。
66.细节理解题。根据第四段“So it is time for us to be smarter about how we work. That is ultimately what the four - day - workweek movement seeks to inspire. Instead of just giving everyone an extra vacation day each week, when positioned as a performance - based motivator, the four - day workweek becomes a wake - up call to refocus our time and energy at work on the things that really matter to the business.(所以,是时候让我们更聪明地对待工作了。这最终是四天工作周运动想要激发的。四天工作周不仅仅是每周给大家额外一天的假期,当它被定位为一种基于绩效的激励因素时,它就成了一个警钟,提醒我们将工作中的时间和精力重新集中在真正对业务重要的事情上。)”可知,作者认为四天工作周是推动我们更聪明地思考工作的动力。故选C。
Section C(8’)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
This Is Why Your Dog Growls (低吼) When You Pet Them
Learning dog body language can be challenging for beginners. If your dog growls when you pet them, they’re likely saying “no”. Sometimes your dog growls to set a boundary: they don’t want to be petted right now. ___67___ So we should watch their body language and environmental cues to determine the cause of the growling.
Warning Growls
Warning growls might sound scary, but it’s just your dog saying “no”. If your dog gives a warning growl when being petted, it doesn’t mean they’ll bite, but means they don’t want to be petted at all. Never punish or ignore a warning growl. We want our dogs to be able to say no, and punishing communication makes them less likely to communicate with us in the future. ___68___
Pain-Related Growls
Your dog might not want to be touched if it is hurt or sick. They might growl when you touch a certain part of their body because it hurts or just feels uneasy. It may also refuse to eat, play, or move around as actively as it normally does. If growling is unusual for your dog, a trip to the animal hospital is a must. Any behavioral change like this can indicate that something’s wrong, so a good check-up is needed to rule that out. ___69___ Only after a professional examination can you be sure what is wrong.
Happy Growls
Some dog types are more likely to growl even when happy! This might be super confusing for you. After all, how do you tell the difference? __70___ Are they lying on their back in your lap, relaxed and enjoying stomach rubs? This is a sign of a happy puppy! Context is also important. For instance, many dogs will growl when you’re rubbing a good spot, like their ears. They’ll continue leaning into your hand, indicating they want more!
A. However, dogs can also growl out of pain or happiness.
B. The key, in this case, is to observe your dog’s body language.
C. Delaying medical attention could make its condition even worse.
D. Noticing whether your dog is comfortable with contact is important.
E. Therefore, reacting negatively to such signals may stop their expression.
F. This may cause a dog to bite directly, as it feels its signals won’t be noticed otherwise.
【答案】67. A 68. F 69. C 70. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍狗狗被抚摸时低吼的几种原因,包括警告性低吼、因疼痛低吼和开心时低吼,并提醒主人通过观察肢体语言与环境判断原因,正确应对。
【67题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes your dog growls to set a boundary: they don’t want to be petted right now.(有时狗狗低吼是在设定界限:它们现在不想被抚摸。)”可知,前文先提出一种低吼原因,结合下文“So we should watch their body language and environmental cues to determine the cause of the growling.(因此我们需要观察它们的肢体语言和环境线索来判断低吼的原因。)”可知,空处需要说明狗狗低吼还有其他原因。A选项(然而,狗狗也可能因为疼痛或开心而低吼。)承接上文一种原因,引出还有其他可能性,为下文判断原因做铺垫,符合语境。故选A项。
【68题详解】
根据上文“Never punish or ignore a warning growl. We want our dogs to be able to say no, and punishing communication makes them less likely to communicate with us in the future.(绝对不要惩罚或忽视警告性低吼。我们希望狗狗能表达拒绝,而惩罚这种交流行为会让它们以后更不愿意和我们沟通。)”可知,前文说明惩罚警告低吼的坏处,空处需要进一步说明后果。F选项(这可能会导致狗狗直接咬人,因为它觉得自己的信号不会被注意到。)承接上文,具体解释忽视或惩罚低吼带来的严重后果,符合语境。故选F项。
【69题详解】
根据上文“If growling is unusual for your dog, a trip to the animal hospital is a must. Any behavioral change like this can indicate that something’s wrong, so a good check-up is needed to rule that out.(如果这种低吼对你的狗狗来说不寻常,去宠物医院是必须的。任何这样的行为变化都可能意味着身体出了问题,所以需要全面检查来排除。)”可知,本段强调及时就医的重要性,空处需要说明拖延就医的危害。C选项(拖延就医可能会让它的情况变得更糟。)承接上文,强调立刻检查的必要性,符合语境。故选C项。
【70题详解】
根据上文“This might be super confusing for you. After all, how do you tell the difference?(这可能让你非常困惑。毕竟,你要怎么分辨呢?)”以及下文“Are they lying on their back in your lap, relaxed and enjoying stomach rubs?(它们是否仰躺在你腿上,放松地享受揉肚子?)”可知,空处需要给出分辨开心低吼的方法。B选项(这种情况下,关键是观察狗狗的肢体语言。)总领下文,引出通过肢体动作判断情绪的具体内容,符合语境。故选B项。
V. Summary writing (10’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Nowadays, more and more employers and employees work online either time or part-time, and that number is continuously growing. It's believed that flying around the world for face-to-face company meetings is a waste of time and money. An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.
A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use. Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.
Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server (服务器).Images from the presenter's desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of users at the same time. And companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the offsite provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.
Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.
71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】71.Web meetings have been widely adopted for efficiency.(要点 1) They can win out not only because they provide face-to-face experiences and can be recorded, but for they show the involvement of listeners.(要点 2) To ensure a successful web meeting, companies can either purchase a powerful server or pay a service provider.(要点 3) Given its strengths, this new form is expected to change the traditional way of working.(要点 4)

New Label Helps Consumers Better Determine Food Quality
Determining whether food has spoiled can be a tricky task. The ___31___ over “use by” and “best before” labels often results in safe and consumable food being thrown out. This issue contributes significantly to the global food crisis, as roughly one-third of the food produced for the world is being wasted and millions of people in dozens of countries are facing ___32___ hunger each year. However, a groundbreaking invention called Mimica Touch aims to help tackle this crisis by providing a more accurate method of evaluating the safety of food ___33___.
Consisting of a label that transforms in texture (质地) when food spoils, Mimica Touch features a plastic sheet with raised lines inside a ___34___ that signal spoilt food. The plastic bumps (凸块) are covered with a thin layer of natural substance that ___35___ at the same rate as the food. When the substance turns from a solid state to a liquid state, the label transforms from firm and smooth to soft and bumpy, ___36___ that the food has gone bad.
Solveiga Pakštaité came up with the ___37___ for Mimica Touch while she was a student at Brunel University in London. The goal of the original project was to help people with ___38___ problems check the use-by date on packaged food. Pakštaité said she was inspired by banana skins, which change texture as they ___39___. Although Mimica Touch began as a university project, the invention has the potential to ____40____ reduce the huge quantity of food that goes to waste every year. Moreover, it could help consumers enjoy the food they purchase more safely and for longer periods.

Section B(22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
While ball games and chess dominate the spotlight, some unusual sports remain off the radar but they’re just as thrilling! These activities not only lift your spirits but also bring back the true essence of sports: FUN! Here are four fascinating examples:
Quidditch
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, this magical game is now a real international sport. Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. Combining elements of rugby and dodgeball, it’s called “Muggle Quidditch” since non-magical folks play it without magic.
Yubi Lakpi
This traditional Indian game resembles football, but with a twist — players use a coconut instead of a ball. Two teams compete to carry the coconut into the opponent’s goal area. To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. Tough enough? Give it a try!
Zorbing
Imagine rolling downhill inside a giant plastic ball. That’s zorbing! It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it’s more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends!
Toe Wrestling
Yes, it’s real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other’s toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It’s toe-wrestling time!
56.What must Quidditch players do throughout the game?
A.Control the team with magic.
B.Pass a rugby ball to other folks.
C.Hold a broom between their legs.
D.Obey rules from the Harry Potter series.
57.How do players make it difficult for the opposing team in Yubi Lakpi?
A.By wetting the fields.
B.By oiling themselves.
C.By polishing the coconuts.
D.By blocking the opponents.
58.What do Zorbing and Toe Wrestling have in common?
A.Both take place on gentle slopes.
B.Both involve close-body contact.
C.Both qualify as championship events.
D.Both feature fun-oriented recreation.
(B)
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
59.What does the new study focus on?
A.The origin of human language. B.Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C.Animals’ recognition of shapes. D.Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
60.In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds?
A.Sound localization. B.Reaction speed.
C.Exploration preference. D.Matching accuracy.
61.What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect?
A.Its historical context. B.Its potential application.
C.Its overlooked limitation. D.Its possible explanation.
62.What does Loconsole say about the effect?
A.It originated in birds. B.It shows evolutionary tendency.
C.It’s shared across species. D.It’s vital to language emergence.
(C)
Historically, the worker who worked the most hours was widely seen as an organization’s most valuable employee. But that is no longer true: as AI promises to transform how we work, and the four-day-workweek movement gains steam, it is time to admit once and for all that working more does not make you more productive.
In fact, many workers could dutifully keep themselves busy for an entire day without doing anything of real value, instead answering pointless emails and attending unnecessary meetings. Meanwhile, many are struggling under the unsustainable consequences of applying an industrial-era measure of productivity — namely, dividing output by hours — to our modern knowledge economy. As a result, workers are under constant pressure to relinquish their rightfully earned time to prove their commitment.
Those who finish their tasks more quickly are typically rewarded with more work to fill the hours they’ve saved, in what is sometimes referred to as “performance punishment.” A co-worker who works through evenings, weekends, or lunch breaks to complete the same workload, meanwhile, is often more likely to be praised or even promoted for their perceived commitment. This dynamic ultimately creates more pressure to look busy than to deliver value, which is getting in the way of actually getting work done and holding back organizational productivity while wearing down workers’ well-being.
So it is time for us to be smarter about how we work. That is ultimately what the four-day-workweek movement seeks to inspire. Instead of just giving everyone an extra vacation day each week, when positioned as a performance-based motivator, the four-day workweek becomes a wake-up call to refocus our time and energy at work on the things that really matter to the business.
In today’s knowledge economy and tomorrow’s AI reality, the most successful individuals, organizations, and nations won’t be those that work the most hours, but those that are the most effective at making their working hours count.
63.How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By listing AI-driven changes in work.
B.By challenging the hours-productivity link.
C.By describing employee-centered practices.
D.By advocating a short-time working pattern.
64.What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Set aside. B.Count on.
C.Give up. D.Care about.
65.What weakens organizational effectiveness according to paragraph 3?
A.Job burnout.
B.Performative busyness.
C.Unfair punishment.
D.Unnoticed commitment.
66.What does the author think of the four-day workweek?
A.A reward for efficiency at work.
B.A wake-up call to stay competitive.
C.A push to think smarter about work.
D.A preparation for the uncertain future.
Section C(8’)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
This Is Why Your Dog Growls (低吼) When You Pet Them
Learning dog body language can be challenging for beginners. If your dog growls when you pet them, they’re likely saying “no”. Sometimes your dog growls to set a boundary: they don’t want to be petted right now. ___67___ So we should watch their body language and environmental cues to determine the cause of the growling.
Warning Growls
Warning growls might sound scary, but it’s just your dog saying “no”. If your dog gives a warning growl when being petted, it doesn’t mean they’ll bite, but means they don’t want to be petted at all. Never punish or ignore a warning growl. We want our dogs to be able to say no, and punishing communication makes them less likely to communicate with us in the future. ___68___
Pain-Related Growls
Your dog might not want to be touched if it is hurt or sick. They might growl when you touch a certain part of their body because it hurts or just feels uneasy. It may also refuse to eat, play, or move around as actively as it normally does. If growling is unusual for your dog, a trip to the animal hospital is a must. Any behavioral change like this can indicate that something’s wrong, so a good check-up is needed to rule that out. ___69___ Only after a professional examination can you be sure what is wrong.
Happy Growls
Some dog types are more likely to growl even when happy! This might be super confusing for you. After all, how do you tell the difference? __70___ Are they lying on their back in your lap, relaxed and enjoying stomach rubs? This is a sign of a happy puppy! Context is also important. For instance, many dogs will growl when you’re rubbing a good spot, like their ears. They’ll continue leaning into your hand, indicating they want more!
A. However, dogs can also growl out of pain or happiness.
B. The key, in this case, is to observe your dog’s body language.
C. Delaying medical attention could make its condition even worse.
D. Noticing whether your dog is comfortable with contact is important.
E. Therefore, reacting negatively to such signals may stop their expression.
F. This may cause a dog to bite directly, as it feels its signals won’t be noticed otherwise.
V. Summary writing (10’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Nowadays, more and more employers and employees work online either time or part-time, and that number is continuously growing. It's believed that flying around the world for face-to-face company meetings is a waste of time and money. An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.
A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use. Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.
Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server (服务器).Images from the presenter's desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of users at the same time. And companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the offsite provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.
Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.

VII. Guided writing (25’)
Dear Ryan,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior One student in our school. I’m writing to invite you to give us a guiding lecture.
During our English listening and speaking training, we’ve encountered some frustrating problems. In listening, the speakers speak so rapidly that we can hardly keep up, and we often get confused about the context. As for speaking, we lack the confidence to express ourselves accurately. We struggle to organize our thoughts quickly and end up stuttering or using simple and repetitive expressions.
Could you please let me know if you are willing to help us? Your positive reply will be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

I'm going to focus on the island's language, which is spoken by around three hundred and twenty one thousand people, most of whom live in iceland. The problem for this language is not the number of speakers, nor is IT about losing words to other language. In fact, the vocabulary of icelandic is continually increasing, because when speakers need a new word, they tend to create one rather than borrowing from another language. Take, for example, the word for web browser. This is vivi in isolani c, which comes from the verb to wonder. I can't think of a more appropriate term because that's exactly what you do mentally when you browse the internet. However, Young iceland anders spent a great deal of time in the digital world where english dominates today. Young people use smart phones all the time to read books, watch T, V or films, play games, listening to music and so on. Teachers have found that playground conversations in icelandic secondary schools can be conducted entirely in english, while teachers of much Younger children have reported situations where their classes find IT easier to say what is in a picture using english rather than icelandic. The very real and worrying consequence of all this is that the Young generation in iceland is at risk of losing its mother tongue.

Section B(22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
While ball games and chess dominate the spotlight, some unusual sports remain off the radar but they’re just as thrilling! These activities not only lift your spirits but also bring back the true essence of sports: FUN! Here are four fascinating examples:
Quidditch
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, this magical game is now a real international sport. Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. Combining elements of rugby and dodgeball, it’s called “Muggle Quidditch” since non-magical folks play it without magic.
Yubi Lakpi
This traditional Indian game resembles football, but with a twist — players use a coconut instead of a ball. Two teams compete to carry the coconut into the opponent’s goal area. To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. Tough enough? Give it a try!
Zorbing
Imagine rolling downhill inside a giant plastic ball. That’s zorbing! It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world.

Toe Wrestling

Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”

Historically, the worker who worked the most hours was widely seen as an organization’s most valuable employee. But that is no longer true: as AI promises to transform how we work, and the four-day-workweek movement gains steam, it is time to admit once and for all that working more does not make you more productive.
In fact, many workers could dutifully keep themselves busy for an entire day without doing anything of real value, instead answering pointless emails and attending unnecessary meetings. Meanwhile, many are struggling under the unsustainable consequences of applying an industrial-era measure of productivity — namely, dividing output by hours — to our modern knowledge economy. As a result, workers are under constant pressure to relinquish their rightfully earned time to prove their commitment.
Those who finish their tasks more quickly are typically rewarded with more work to fill the hours they’ve saved, in what is sometimes referred to as “performance punishment.” A co-worker who works through evenings, weekends, or lunch breaks to complete the same workload, meanwhile, is often more likely to be praised or even promoted for their perceived commitment. This dynamic ultimately creates more pressure to look busy than to deliver value, which is getting in the way of actually getting work done and holding back organizational productivity while wearing down workers’ well-being.
So it is time for us to be smarter about how we work. That is ultimately what the four-day-workweek movement seeks to inspire. Instead of just giving everyone an extra vacation day each week, when positioned as a performance-based motivator, the four-day workweek becomes a wake-up call to refocus our time and energy at work on the things that really matter to the business.
In today’s knowledge economy and tomorrow’s AI reality, the most successful individuals, organizations, and nations won’t be those that work the most hours, but those that are the most effective at making their working hours count.
63.How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By listing AI-driven changes in work.
B.By challenging the hours-productivity link.
C.By describing employee-centered practices.
D.By advocating a short-time working pattern.
64.What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Set aside. B.Count on.
C.Give up. D.Care about.
65.What weakens organizational effectiveness according to paragraph 3?
A.Job burnout.
B.Performative busyness.
C.Unfair punishment.
D.Unnoticed commitment.
66.What does the author think of the four-day workweek?
A.A reward for efficiency at work.
B.A wake-up call to stay competitive.
C.A push to think smarter about work.
D.A preparation for the uncertain future.
Section C(8’)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
This Is Why Your Dog Growls (低吼) When You Pet Them
Learning dog body language can be challenging for beginners. If your dog growls when you pet them, they’re likely saying “no”. Sometimes your dog growls to set a boundary: they don’t want to be petted right now. ___67___ So we should watch their body language and environmental cues to determine the cause of the growling.
Warning Growls
Warning growls might sound scary, but it’s just your dog saying “no”. If your dog gives a warning growl when being petted, it doesn’t mean they’ll bite, but means they don’t want to be petted at all. Never punish or ignore a warning growl. We want our dogs to be able to say no, and punishing communication makes them less likely to communicate with us in the future. ___68___
Pain-Related Growls
Your dog might not want to be touched if it is hurt or sick. They might growl when you touch a certain part of their body because it hurts or just feels uneasy. It may also refuse to eat, play, or move around as actively as it normally does. If growling is unusual for your dog, a trip to the animal hospital is a must. Any behavioral change like this can indicate that something’s wrong, so a good check-up is needed to rule that out. ___69___ Only after a professional examination can you be sure what is wrong.
Happy Growls
Some dog types are more likely to growl even when happy! This might be super confusing for you. After all, how do you tell the difference? __70___ Are they lying on their back in your lap, relaxed and enjoying stomach rubs? This is a sign of a happy puppy! Context is also important. For instance, many dogs will growl when you’re rubbing a good spot, like their ears. They’ll continue leaning into your hand, indicating they want more!
A. However, dogs can also growl out of pain or happiness.
B. The key, in this case, is to observe your dog’s body language.
C. Delaying medical attention could make its condition even worse.
D. Noticing whether your dog is comfortable with contact is important.
E. Therefore, reacting negatively to such signals may stop their expression.
F. This may cause a dog to bite directly, as it feels its signals won’t be noticed otherwise.
V. Summary writing (10’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Nowadays, more and more employers and employees work online either time or part-time, and that number is continuously growing. It's believed that flying around the world for face-to-face company meetings is a waste of time and money. An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.
A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use. Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.
Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server (服务器).Images from the presenter's desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of users at the same time. And companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the offsite provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.
Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.
