This walkable city packs unforgettable experiences into a single day, from literary (文学的) walk to fine dining and historic pubs. 8 a.m.: Explore the old town Start your own literary walk in the Grassmarket. Climb the Miss Jean Brodie Steps to view Edinburgh Castle surrounded by narrow lanes (小巷), and then walk into Greyfriars Kirkyard, a 17th-century cemetery. Sharp-eyed Harry Potter fans will notice familiar names on the tombstones, including ones that inspired the author’s You-Know-Who. 11 a.m.: Step into the past Across from the cemetery is the National Museum of Scotland. Its galleries cover different times and places around the world, with a focus on Scottish history and culture. Don’t miss Alexander Graham Bell’s original telephone and a TARDIS prop screenplay (道具剧本) signed by actor Ewan McGregor. For a different experience, visit Surgeons’ Hall, which shows Edinburgh’s medical history. 2 p.m.: Head for the river After morning culture, take a short cable car from Princes Street to Leith. This area has many top-quality restaurants, including Tom Kitchin’s The Kitchin. Its lunch menu features fresh Scottish food for the season, such as the lobster (龙虾) from just three bus stops down the coast, which tastes all the better for it. Little wonder he himself often eats here. 7 p.m.: Drink up No Edinburgh day is complete without a pub stop, and the New Town has great choices.

B I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 41．Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A．She wanted mom to read the news to her. B．She was anxious to know what had happened. C．She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D．She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 42．According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________. A．her growing desire to know the world around her B．her eagerness to develop her reading ability C．her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D．her unique way to locate herself 43．What was the author’s view on factual reading? A．It would help her update test-taking skills. B．It would provide true and objective information. C．It would allow much room for free thinking. D．It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 44．The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A．explore a fantasy land B．develop a passion for learning C．learn about the adult community D．get away from a confusing world 45．What could be the best title for the passage? A．The Magic of Reading B．The Pleasure of Reading C．Reading Makes a Full Man D．Growing Up with Reading C Last year scientists reported using a neural implant (神经植入物) in a man’s brain to restore his ability to communicate. The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke. It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces (接口), or BCIs, which allow computers to read information out of a living brain. Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts. The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps. Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions. And crucially, the basic set of brain maps and their locations within the brain are very similar across individuals. Thanks to their specialized functions and universal locations, brain maps are ideal entry points for BCI technologies. Picking up signals from a brain map is only the first step in making a useful BCI. Although the location of a brain map is the same across individuals, the details — what patterns of activity within the map mean — differ from person to person. In a sense, the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption (加密), safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-be spies. That brings us to the second fact that makes BCIs possible. Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode (解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples. Researchers developing BCIs often create such examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times, creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from. While the universal features and locations of brain maps make them obvious entrances for BCIs, the unique features of your brain maps tend to protect them from spying eyes. In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain, it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read. But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without your knowledge. This can happen if your neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities. Like all technologies, brain-computer interfaces are not necessarily good or bad. Yet while harvesting the benefits of BCIs, we need to ensure that we have the means to protect ourselves from corporations with every motive to take advantage of this technology for their financial gain. 46．What can we know about the neural implant mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．It completely cured the man’s paralysis. B．It helped the man speak understandably again. C．It has been widely used in clinical applications. D．It can take the place of damaged brain maps. 47．What can we learn about brain maps? A．They carry unique characteristics B．They can process encrypted signals. C．Their functions vary from person to person. D．Their locations reveal human thinking patterns. 48．What can we infer from the passage? A．BCIs can boost brain signals dramatically. B．BCIs could help recover from brain injuries. C．Machine learning enables BCIs to read mind. D．The decoding of brain may be affected by BCIs. 49．What does the underlined word “surreptitious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Secure. B．Stable. C．Standard. D．Secret. 50．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The future trend of BCIs. B．The potential risks of BCIs. C．The working principle of BCIs. D．The general applications of BCIs. D On the occasional cold clear autumn night, I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf. Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism (转基因生物) , deliberate selection has produced the wonder that walks by my side. Our world is changing rapidly. In the last 5 decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this same time span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine (饥荒) one might have predicted. How do scientists modify a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest, richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered. During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for repressing (抑制) stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks that could bear more seed — the high-production crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors. We can minimize a plant’s weaknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don’t have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result. It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating. I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and care for one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic modification. We must continue as before, feeding the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each night when I walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home. 51．Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph? A．To advise people to keep wolves as pets. B．To change people’s attitude towards wolves. C．To persuade readers to welcome the new technology. D．To introduce a technology used to humans’ advantage. 52．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．With GMO technology, famine has been ended. B．GMO technology will help weatherproof future crops. C．Artificial selections make high-production plants possible. D．The author believes technology should contribute to future generations. 53．What can be learned about modifying a plant? A．The general public show strong faith in GMO plants. B．One way for ancestors to change a plant was to clone some genes. C．It takes scientists seasons to know whether their selection is correct. D．Modern techniques help speed up the artificial selection by altering DNA． 54．By “I keep the faith of my ancestors” (last para.) , the author means _________. A．to trust that technology can handle future agricultural challenges B．to continue selecting the best seeds for the next season’s planting C．to preserve the forest paths while walking to the laboratory nightly D．to maintain the practice of keeping modified wolves as companions 55．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．Engineered Food — To Be or Not To Be B．Engineered Food — Feeding Future Generations C．GMO Technology — A Driving Force in World Peace D．GMO Technology — Turning Wolves into the Best Pets 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 two decades, the rhythm of José Luis-Reig’s life was filled with the daily routine of stacking shelves at his family’s supermarket in Pollenca, Mallorca. Known to everyone as Pep, he seemed content with his trade, burying his love for learning beneath boxes of goods. He never gave a second thought to the academic world he had left behind — until a family trip changed everything. While touring mainland universities with his teenage daughters, Pep stepped into the lecture halls. Suddenly, surrounded by books and the atmosphere of learning, he felt an unexpected and deep sense of belonging. It was a feeling of coming home to a place he had never lived in. This feeling brought back a hidden regret. Years ago, Pep had planned to get a biology degree, but family duty called. He gave up his dreams to save the family business — a sawmill he successfully turned into the town’s first supermarket. Yet, despite his success, a difficult question kept echoing in his mind: “What is my true role in life?” The answer struck him a year later, triggered by a memory from his youth. Back in school, Pep was the person everyone turned to with their troubles. He was such a good listener that a local radio host once told him, “You listen like a young psychologist.” That comment, forgotten for years, came back as a realisation. Trusting his instinct, Pep applied to study psychology at the university in Palma. At the age of 46, he was accepted. Returning to school was not easy. “I had to get used to being the oldest person in the room — older even than my professor,” he recalls. But Pep soon realised his age was a strength. “I believed disadvantages could be turned into advantages. I ended up helping my classmates because I had real-life experience. This experience breathed life into the theories we learnt in class.” Pep’s hard work paid off spectacularly. He graduated at the top of his class and impressed his teachers so much that he was offered a teaching position. Today, at 52, he lectures while studying for a master’s degree. Reflecting on his journey from the supermarket to the university, he says, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.” 56．What was Pep’s reaction when stepping into the lecture halls? (no more than 10 words) 57．Why did Pep give up his dream of getting a biology degree years ago? (no more than 5 words) 58．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4? (no more than 5 words) 59．What was the effect of Pep’s real-life experience on the theories? (no more than 10 words) 60．Pep regretted not starting earlier. What will you do to avoid similar regrets in your future? Please explain in your own words.

A．around the corner B．in the way C．out of sight D．under construction 【答案】A 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：尽管该公司尚未发布正式公告，但行业专家认为，一项期待已久的协议即将达成。A. around the corner即将到来；B. in the way挡道，妨碍；C. out of sight看不见，在视野之外；D. under construction在建设中。根据“Although the company has not yet made an official announcement,”可知，虽然尚未发布公告，但是协议即将达成。故选A。 7．________, you’ll never be able to persuade him. A．However hard may you try B．Try however hard you may C．However hard you may try D．Try hard however you may 【答案】C 【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：无论你多努力，你都劝不动他。分析句子可知，此句为however引导的让步状语从句，其结构为：however+ adj./ adv.+主语+谓语。故选C。 8．Spotting the car with its window ________ open, a thoughtful passerby quickly alerted the owner, ________ community awareness and care. A．leaving; showing B．staying; presenting C．left; displaying D．kept; exhibiting 【答案】C 【详解】考查动词词义辨析以及非谓语动词。句意：一个细心的路人发现那辆车的窗户还开着，便迅速提醒了车主，展现出了社区意识和关怀。第一个空考查“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”的结构，window与 leave之间是被动关系，即“车窗被留下开着”，所以用 left 作宾语补足语。而stay和keep虽然也有“保持”的意思，但在此处不如leave能准确表达“使车窗处于开着的状态”这一含义。display有“展示，显示”的意思，强调通过行为或表现来展现某种特质或情况，display community awareness and care表示路人的行为显示出了社区意识和关爱。第二个空需要非谓语动词作状语。show也有“展示”之意，但更侧重于把东西给别人看或表明某种情况，用在此处不如display贴切；present 有“呈现，展示”的意思，通常用于呈现礼物、报告等，在此处不太合适；exhibit有 “展览，展示”的意思，一般用于展示物品或展示某种能力等，与“community awareness and care”搭配不太恰当。第二个空需要用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故选C。 9．We were told to keep silent while the experiment in the laboratory. A．would be performed B．was being performed C．had been performed D．was to be performed 【答案】B 【详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意：我们被告知在实验室进行实验时要保持安静。perform (做，执行)是从句的谓语动词，根据“We were told to keep silent”可知，我们被告知要保持安静，这表明在过去某个时刻实验正进行，应用过去进行时的被动语态。故选B项。 10．_________ set Edgar Snow apart from the other journalists was that he actually spent time with the Chinese Red Army. A．Why B．What C．Whether D．That 【答案】B 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：埃德加·斯诺与其他记者不同的是，他实际上与中国红军一起度过了一段时间。分析句子可知，句子为主语从句，空格处单词引导从句，从句中缺少主语，指事物，没有选择范围，故应用“what”引导从句，句首单词首字母大写。故选B项。 11．Clearly, this is a __________ dangerous situation. You should be very careful. A．potentially B．tightly C．illegally D．barely 【答案】A 【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：显然，这是一个潜在的危险情况。你应该非常小心。A. potentially潜在地；可能地；B. tightly紧紧地；C. illegally非法地；D. barely几乎不。根据下文的“You should be very careful.”可知，此处指的是“这是一个潜在的危险情况”，应该用potentially修饰下文的dangerous。故选A项。 12．Improved consumer confidence is ______ to an economic recovery. A．substantial B．crucial C．emotional D．suitable 【答案】B 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：消费者信心的提升对于经济复苏是至关重要的。A. substantial大量的；B. crucial至关重要的；C. emotional情绪的；D. suitable合适的。根据下文“to an economic recovery”可知，空处需要一个形容词来描述消费者信心提升对于经济复苏的重要性，B选项“crucial”表示“至关重要的”，符合句意。故选B。 13．The President has announced emergency measures to limit fuel ______ in order to cope with oil shortage. A．capsule B．consumption C．exposure D．suburb 【答案】B 【详解】考查名词词义辨析。 句意：总统已宣布紧急措施以限制燃料消耗，以应对石油短缺。 A. capsule胶囊，太空舱；B. consumption消耗，消费；C. exposure暴露，接触；D. suburb郊区。根据“oil shortage（石油短缺）”和 “limit fuel（限制燃料）”可知，措施的目的是减少燃料的消耗。故选B。 14．The number of new students from 210 to 160 this year. A．multiplied B．exploded C．decreased D．owed 【答案】C 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：今年新生人数从210人减少到160人。A. multiplied 增加，繁殖；B. exploded 爆炸，激增；C. decreased 减少；D. owed 欠，归因于。根据句中“from 210 to 160”可知，数字从210下降到160，表示数量的减少。故选C。 15．The number of medical schools reached 18 in the early 1990s and ______ around that level ever since. A．are remaining B．have remained C．is remaining D．has remained 【答案】D 【详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:20世纪90年代初，医学院的数量达到了18所，此后一直保持在这个水平。ever since“从那以后”作时间状语，句子用现在完成时态。主语为the number of medical schools，the number of表示“……的数目”，中心词是number，所以是单数，作主语时，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。综上，故选D。 第二节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31—50题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler.

There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 41．Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A．She wanted mom to read the news to her. B．She was anxious to know what had happened. C．She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D．She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 42．According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________. A．her growing desire to know the world around her B．her eagerness to develop her reading ability C．her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D．her unique way to locate herself 43．What was the author’s view on factual reading? A．It would help her update test-taking skills. B．It would provide true and objective information. C．It would allow much room for free thinking. D．It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 44．The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A．explore a fantasy land B．develop a passion for learning C．learn about the adult community D．get away from a confusing world 45．What could be the best title for the passage? A．The Magic of Reading B．The Pleasure of Reading C．Reading Makes a Full Man D．Growing Up with Reading 【答案】41．B 42．A 43．B 44．D 45．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者自幼受母亲影响爱上阅读，童年借阅读满足求知欲，求学时偏爱纪实文字，成年后读小说逃离复杂现实，一生与阅读相伴成长。 41．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew.( 听到妈妈说：“我简直不敢相信今天早上报纸上刊登的内容。”这让我想要从她手中抢过那张报纸自己读起来。我想像着自己也能像妈妈那样知晓她所知道的一切。)”可知，作者想要从妈妈手中夺过报纸是因为她急于想知道发生了什么。故选B项。 42．细节理解题。根据第三段中“My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.( 我在阅读方面的进步激发了我的好奇心，我想要了解一切。我经常忍不住告诉妈妈要慢点开车，这样我就能看清我们经过的每一个路标了。)”可知，作者对路标的解读表明了她愈发渴望了解周围的世界。故选A项。 43．推理判断题。根据第四段中“I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.( 我喜欢的是那些具体的、实实在在的东西。我认为任何抽象的东西都留有太多可以争论的空间。)”可推知，作者偏爱纪实类阅读，因为事实具体、确凿，能提供真实客观的信息，区别于易引发争议的抽象内容。故选B项。 44．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character.( 然而，随着我的成长，我曾经认为简单的世界如今变得越来越复杂，我发现自己需要一种逃避的方式。通过翻开一本小说，我可以抛开自己的负担，进入一个奇妙而神秘的世界，在这个世界里，我变成了一个全新的角色。)”可知，作者将阅读小说视为逃离混乱世界的一种方式。故选D项。 45．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless(我们被教导要阅读，因为这对于人类的大部分理解是必要的。阅读是我生活中至关重要的一部分。阅读满足了我不断学习的欲望。而且我发现书中蕴含的可能性是无限的。)”可知，文章主要讲的是作者自幼受母亲影响爱上阅读，童年借阅读满足求知欲，求学时偏爱纪实文字，成年后读小说逃离复杂现实，一生与阅读相伴成长。由此可知，这篇文章的最佳标题是“在阅读中成长”。故选D项。 C Last year scientists reported using a neural implant (神经植入物) in a man’s brain to restore his ability to communicate. The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke. It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces (接口), or BCIs, which allow computers to read information out of a living brain. Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts. The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps. Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions. And crucially, the basic set of brain maps and their locations within the brain are very similar across individuals. Thanks to their specialized functions and universal locations, brain maps are ideal entry points for BCI technologies. Picking up signals from a brain map is only the first step in making a useful BCI. Although the location of a brain map is the same across individuals, the details — what patterns of activity within the map mean — differ from person to person. In a sense, the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption (加密), safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-be spies. That brings us to the second fact that makes BCIs possible. Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode (解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples. Researchers developing BCIs often create such examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times, creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from. While the universal features and locations of brain maps make them obvious entrances for BCIs, the unique features of your brain maps tend to protect them from spying eyes. In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain, it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read. But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without your knowledge. This can happen if your neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities. Like all technologies, brain-computer interfaces are not necessarily good or bad. Yet while harvesting the benefits of BCIs, we need to ensure that we have the means to protect ourselves from corporations with every motive to take advantage of this technology for their financial gain. 46．What can we know about the neural implant mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．It completely cured the man’s paralysis. B．It helped the man speak understandably again. C．It has been widely used in clinical applications. D．It can take the place of damaged brain maps. 47．What can we learn about brain maps? A．They carry unique characteristics B．They can process encrypted signals. C．Their functions vary from person to person. D．Their locations reveal human thinking patterns. 48．What can we infer from the passage? A．BCIs can boost brain signals dramatically. B．BCIs could help recover from brain injuries. C．Machine learning enables BCIs to read mind. D．The decoding of brain may be affected by BCIs. 49．What does the underlined word “surreptitious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Secure. B．Stable. C．Standard. D．Secret. 50．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The future trend of BCIs. B．The potential risks of BCIs. C．The working principle of BCIs. D．The general applications of BCIs. 【答案】46．B 47．A 48．C 49．D 50．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了脑机接口的工作原理、技术优势及潜在隐私风险，并呼吁做好自我保护。 46．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Last year scientists reported using a neural implant (神经植入物) in a man’s brain to restore his ability to communicate.(去年，科学家报告称，通过在一名男子大脑中植入神经植入物，恢复了他的沟通能力。)”可知，神经植入物帮助这名男子恢复了交流能力，能再次说出可被理解的话。故选B。 47．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In a sense, the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption (加密), safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-be spies.(从某种意义上说，你独有的脑区特征相当于一种加密，保护你的想法和感受不被他人窥探。)”可知，大脑图谱具有每个人独有的特征。故选A。 48．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode (解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples.(得益于机器学习的进步，科学家已开发出能在海量数据中识别关键模式的程序。他们通过输入大量样本，训练这些程序解码大脑信号。)”可知，机器学习让脑机接口能够解码并读取大脑信息。故选C。 49．词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain, it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read. But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without your knowledge. This can happen if your neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities.(在已成功读取大脑特定想法或意图的案例中，都获得了受试者的许可。但也存在在你不知情的情况下……训练解码器的可能——如果你的神经数据落入掌握你行为细节的公司手中，就可能发生这种情况。)”可推测，该词意为在你不知情的情况下进行，即秘密的。故选D。 50．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Last year scientists reported using a neural implant (神经植入物) in a man’s brain to restore his ability to communicate. The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke. It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces (接口), or BCIs, which allow computers to read information out of a living brain.(去年，科学家报告称，通过在一名男子大脑中植入神经植入物，恢复了他的沟通能力。这名男子因严重中风后部分瘫痪，无法说出清晰可懂的话语。这是迅猛发展的脑机接口（BCI）领域的最新进展——该技术能让计算机从活的大脑中读取信息。)”以及全文内容可知，文章先介绍脑机接口的原理，再讲隐私风险，核心围绕BCI 的工作原理展开。故选C。 D On the occasional cold clear autumn night, I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf. Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism (转基因生物) , deliberate selection has produced the wonder that walks by my side. Our world is changing rapidly. In the last 5 decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this same time span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine (饥荒) one might have predicted. How do scientists modify a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest, richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered. During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for repressing (抑制) stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks that could bear more seed — the high-production crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors. We can minimize a plant’s weaknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don’t have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result. It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating. I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and care for one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic modification. We must continue as before, feeding the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each night when I walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home. 51．Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph? A．To advise people to keep wolves as pets. B．To change people’s attitude towards wolves. C．To persuade readers to welcome the new technology. D．To introduce a technology used to humans’ advantage. 52．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．With GMO technology, famine has been ended. B．GMO technology will help weatherproof future crops. C．Artificial selections make high-production plants possible. D．The author believes technology should contribute to future generations. 53．What can be learned about modifying a plant? A．The general public show strong faith in GMO plants. B．One way for ancestors to change a plant was to clone some genes. C．It takes scientists seasons to know whether their selection is correct. D．Modern techniques help speed up the artificial selection by altering DNA． 54．By “I keep the faith of my ancestors” (last para.) , the author means _________. A．to trust that technology can handle future agricultural challenges B．to continue selecting the best seeds for the next season’s planting C．to preserve the forest paths while walking to the laboratory nightly D．to maintain the practice of keeping modified wolves as companions 55．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．Engineered Food — To Be or Not To Be B．Engineered Food — Feeding Future Generations C．GMO Technology — A Driving Force in World Peace D．GMO Technology — Turning Wolves into the Best Pets 【答案】51．D 52．A 53．D 54．B 55．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者结合转基因技术的发展，阐述其在农业中的作用，呼吁重视转基因研究以解决未来粮食问题。 51．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism (转基因生物), deliberate selection has produced the wonder that walks by my side.(是的，我最好的朋友是一个转基因生物，经过刻意的选择，这个奇迹就走在我身边)”以及后文围绕转基因技术在农业中的应用展开可知，作者提及转基因狼是为了引出一种能为人类所用的技术（转基因技术）。故选D。 52．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine (饥荒) one might have predicted.(奇迹般地，这并没有导致人们可能预测的全球性大饥荒)”可知，转基因技术避免了全球性大饥荒，但并未说饥荒已被终结，A项表述错误。故选A。 53．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors.(21世纪带来了一系列奇妙的高科技工具，进一步加快了人工选择的进程。植物遗传学家现在可以使用分子剪刀直接编辑或插入DNA片段)”可知，现代技术通过改变DNA加快了人工选择的速度。故选D。 54．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“We must continue as before, feeding the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered.(我们必须像以前一样继续下去，在养活自己的同时养活未来，每年只种植我们共同培育出的最好的品种)”以及前文提及祖先通过选择优良种子培育作物可知，作者说“我坚守着祖先的信念”指的是继续为下一季种植选择最好的种子。故选B。 55．主旨大意题。通读全文，作者围绕转基因技术展开，强调其在农业中的重要作用，结合第五段“We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating.(我们需要更多的转基因研究来养活我们正在创造的这个世界)”和最后一段“feeding the future as we feed ourselves(为未来提供食物，正如我们为自己提供食物一样)”可知，B项“Engineered Food — Feeding Future Generations(工程食品——哺育未来世代)”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。故选B。 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 two decades, the rhythm of José Luis-Reig’s life was filled with the daily routine of stacking shelves at his family’s supermarket in Pollenca, Mallorca. Known to everyone as Pep, he seemed content with his trade, burying his love for learning beneath boxes of goods. He never gave a second thought to the academic world he had left behind — until a family trip changed everything. While touring mainland universities with his teenage daughters, Pep stepped into the lecture halls. Suddenly, surrounded by books and the atmosphere of learning, he felt an unexpected and deep sense of belonging. It was a feeling of coming home to a place he had never lived in. This feeling brought back a hidden regret. Years ago, Pep had planned to get a biology degree, but family duty called. He gave up his dreams to save the family business — a sawmill he successfully turned into the town’s first supermarket. Yet, despite his success, a difficult question kept echoing in his mind: “What is my true role in life?” The answer struck him a year later, triggered by a memory from his youth. Back in school, Pep was the person everyone turned to with their troubles. He was such a good listener that a local radio host once told him, “You listen like a young psychologist.” That comment, forgotten for years, came back as a realisation. Trusting his instinct, Pep applied to study psychology at the university in Palma. At the age of 46, he was accepted. Returning to school was not easy. “I had to get used to being the oldest person in the room — older even than my professor,” he recalls. But Pep soon realised his age was a strength. “I believed disadvantages could be turned into advantages. I ended up helping my classmates because I had real-life experience. This experience breathed life into the theories we learnt in class.” Pep’s hard work paid off spectacularly. He graduated at the top of his class and impressed his teachers so much that he was offered a teaching position. Today, at 52, he lectures while studying for a master’s degree. Reflecting on his journey from the supermarket to the university, he says, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.” 56．What was Pep’s reaction when stepping into the lecture halls? (no more than 10 words) 57．Why did Pep give up his dream of getting a biology degree years ago? (no more than 5 words) 58．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4? (no more than 5 words) 59．What was the effect of Pep’s real-life experience on the theories? (no more than 10 words) 60．Pep regretted not starting earlier. What will you do to avoid similar regrets in your future? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56．He felt an unexpected and deep sense of belonging. / He felt a sense of coming home. / He felt like coming home to a place he belonged. 57．To save the family business. / Because family duty called. 58．Caused. / Sparked. / Set off. / Brought about. 59．It breathed life into the theories. Or: It made the theories more practical/ alive/ understandable. Or: It made the theories come alive. / It made the theories practical and understandable. 60．I will chase my dreams early and stick to them. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Pep 年轻时为家庭放弃学业，在超市工作二十年。46岁时重拾梦想攻读心理学，以人生经验助力学习，成绩优异并留校任教。他后悔起步太晚，启示人们要勇敢追求理想。 56．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Suddenly, surrounded by books and the atmosphere of learning, he felt an unexpected and deep sense of belonging. It was a feeling of coming home to a place he had never lived in. (突然，置身于书籍之中，沉浸在浓厚的学习氛围中，他内心涌起了一种意想不到且深沉的归属感。这是一种仿佛回到从未居住过却无比熟悉的地方的亲切感。)”可知，佩普走进教室时感受到了一种意想不到且强烈的归属感。/ 他有一种回家的感觉。/ 他感觉自己回到了一个属于自己的地方。故答案为He felt an unexpected and deep sense of belonging. / He felt a sense of coming home. / He felt like coming home to a place he belonged. 57．考查细节理解。根据第三段“Years ago, Pep had planned to get a biology degree, but family duty called. (多年前，佩普原本打算攻读生物学学位，但家庭责任的召唤让他不得不放弃这个计划。)”可知，佩普多年前放弃了攻读生物学学位的梦想是为了拯救家族企业。/ 因为家庭责任在召唤。故答案为To save the family business. / Because family duty called. 58．考查词句猜测。根据划线词后文“Back in school, Pep was the person everyone turned to with their troubles. (在上学的时候，佩普是大家倾诉烦恼时的首选对象。)”可知，儿时的一段记忆导致、激发他成为心理学家。故划线词意思是“导致/引发/激发/引起”。故答案为Caused. / Sparked. / Set off. / Brought about. 59．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“This experience breathed life into the theories we learnt in class. (这次经历让我们对课堂上学到的理论有了更深刻的理解和体会。)”可知，佩普的亲身经历为这些理论注入了活力。或者：使这些理论更具实用性/更生动/更易于理解。或者：使这些理论变得生动起来。/ 使这些理论变得实用且易于理解。故答案为It breathed life into the theories. Or: It made the theories more practical/ alive/ understandable. Or: It made the theories come alive. / It made the theories practical and understandable. 60．考查开放题。根据“佩普后悔没有早点开始。你今后会怎么做才能避免类似的遗憾呢？请用你自己的话来解释一下”可回答：我会早早地去追寻自己的梦想，并坚持不懈地去实现它们。故答案为I will chase my dreams early and stick to them. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假设你是晨光中学“中华文化传承社”的社长李津。你注意到，在全球文化交流日益频繁的今天，一些中国优秀传统文化(如书法、京剧、传统节日习俗等)在青少年中的认知度和影响力有待提升。为增强同学们的文化自信与传承意识，请你用英文写一封倡议书，发布在社团微信公众号上。 内容包括： (1)简要说明传统文化面临的挑战及其价值; (2)提出具体倡议：呼吁同学们参与至少两项校园或社区内可开展的文化实践或推广活动; (3)阐述传承行动的积极意义，并鼓励大家积极加入，成为有担当的文化传承者。 注意： 1. 词数100左右; 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇：文化传承 (cultural transmission);文化遗产 (cultural heritage);传承人 (inheritor) Call to Action: Preserve Our Traditional Culture Dear fellow students， ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Jin 【答案】参考范文 Call to Action: Preserve Our Traditional Culture Dear fellow students，     With global cultural exchange deepening, exceptional traditional Chinese cultures like calligraphy and Peking Opera are losing their appeal among teenagers.

This walkable city packs unforgettable experiences into a single day, from literary (文学的) walk to fine dining and historic pubs. 8 a.m.: Explore the old town Start your own literary walk in the Grassmarket. Climb the Miss Jean Brodie Steps to view Edinburgh Castle surrounded by narrow lanes (小巷), and then walk into Greyfriars Kirkyard, a 17th-century cemetery. Sharp-eyed Harry Potter fans will notice familiar names on the tombstones, including ones that inspired the author’s You-Know-Who. 11 a.m.: Step into the past Across from the cemetery is the National Museum of Scotland. Its galleries cover different times and places around the world, with a focus on Scottish history and culture. Don’t miss Alexander Graham Bell’s original telephone and a TARDIS prop screenplay (道具剧本) signed by actor Ewan McGregor. For a different experience, visit Surgeons’ Hall, which shows Edinburgh’s medical history. 2 p.m.: Head for the river After morning culture, take a short cable car from Princes Street to Leith. This area has many top-quality restaurants, including Tom Kitchin’s The Kitchin. Its lunch menu features fresh Scottish food for the season, such as the lobster (龙虾) from just three bus stops down the coast, which tastes all the better for it. Little wonder he himself often eats here. 7 p.m.: Drink up No Edinburgh day is complete without a pub stop, and the New Town has great choices. Sherlock Holmes fans should look for The Conan Doyle, a historic pub near the author’s birthplace. Step inside and enjoy a cool local beer or whisky to relax after a busy day of exploring. 36．What can visitors do at Greyfriars Kirkyard? A．See Edinburgh Castle up close.

A．In a personal diary. B．In a travel guidebook. C．In a history textbook. D．In a science magazine. B I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 41．Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A．She wanted mom to read the news to her. B．She was anxious to know what had happened. C．She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D．She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 42．According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________. A．her growing desire to know the world around her B．her eagerness to develop her reading ability C．her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D．her unique way to locate herself 43．What was the author’s view on factual reading? A．It would help her update test-taking skills. B．It would provide true and objective information. C．It would allow much room for free thinking. D．It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 44．The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A．explore a fantasy land B．develop a passion for learning C．learn about the adult community D．get away from a confusing world 45．What could be the best title for the passage? A．The Magic of Reading B．The Pleasure of Reading C．Reading Makes a Full Man D．Growing Up with Reading C Last year scientists reported using a neural implant (神经植入物) in a man’s brain to restore his ability to communicate. The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke. It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces (接口), or BCIs, which allow computers to read information out of a living brain. Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts. The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps. Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions. And crucially, the basic set of brain maps and their locations within the brain are very similar across individuals. Thanks to their specialized functions and universal locations, brain maps are ideal entry points for BCI technologies. Picking up signals from a brain map is only the first step in making a useful BCI. Although the location of a brain map is the same across individuals, the details — what patterns of activity within the map mean — differ from person to person. In a sense, the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption (加密), safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-be spies. That brings us to the second fact that makes BCIs possible. Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode (解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples. Researchers developing BCIs often create such examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times, creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from. While the universal features and locations of brain maps make them obvious entrances for BCIs, the unique features of your brain maps tend to protect them from spying eyes. In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain, it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read. But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without your knowledge. This can happen if your neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities. Like all technologies, brain-computer interfaces are not necessarily good or bad. Yet while harvesting the benefits of BCIs, we need to ensure that we have the means to protect ourselves from corporations with every motive to take advantage of this technology for their financial gain. 46．What can we know about the neural implant mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．It completely cured the man’s paralysis. B．It helped the man speak understandably again. C．It has been widely used in clinical applications. D．It can take the place of damaged brain maps. 47．What can we learn about brain maps? A．They carry unique characteristics B．They can process encrypted signals.

D On the occasional cold clear autumn night, I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf. Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism (转基因生物) , deliberate selection has produced the wonder that walks by my side. Our world is changing rapidly. In the last 5 decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this same time span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine (饥荒) one might have predicted. How do scientists modify a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest, richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered. During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for repressing (抑制) stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks that could bear more seed — the high-production crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors. We can minimize a plant’s weaknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don’t have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result. It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating. I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and care for one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic modification. We must continue as before, feeding the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each night when I walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home. 51．Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph? A．To advise people to keep wolves as pets. B．To change people’s attitude towards wolves. C．To persuade readers to welcome the new technology. D．To introduce a technology used to humans’ advantage. 52．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．With GMO technology, famine has been ended. B．GMO technology will help weatherproof future crops. C．Artificial selections make high-production plants possible. D．The author believes technology should contribute to future generations. 53．What can be learned about modifying a plant? A．The general public show strong faith in GMO plants. B．One way for ancestors to change a plant was to clone some genes. C．It takes scientists seasons to know whether their selection is correct. D．Modern techniques help speed up the artificial selection by altering DNA． 54．By “I keep the faith of my ancestors” (last para.) , the author means _________. A．to trust that technology can handle future agricultural challenges B．to continue selecting the best seeds for the next season’s planting C．to preserve the forest paths while walking to the laboratory nightly D．to maintain the practice of keeping modified wolves as companions 55．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．Engineered Food — To Be or Not To Be B．Engineered Food — Feeding Future Generations C．GMO Technology — A Driving Force in World Peace D．GMO Technology — Turning Wolves into the Best Pets 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 two decades, the rhythm of José Luis-Reig’s life was filled with the daily routine of stacking shelves at his family’s supermarket in Pollenca, Mallorca. Known to everyone as Pep, he seemed content with his trade, burying his love for learning beneath boxes of goods. He never gave a second thought to the academic world he had left behind — until a family trip changed everything. While touring mainland universities with his teenage daughters, Pep stepped into the lecture halls. Suddenly, surrounded by books and the atmosphere of learning, he felt an unexpected and deep sense of belonging. It was a feeling of coming home to a place he had never lived in. This feeling brought back a hidden regret. Years ago, Pep had planned to get a biology degree, but family duty called. He gave up his dreams to save the family business — a sawmill he successfully turned into the town’s first supermarket. Yet, despite his success, a difficult question kept echoing in his mind: “What is my true role in life?” The answer struck him a year later, triggered by a memory from his youth. Back in school, Pep was the person everyone turned to with their troubles. He was such a good listener that a local radio host once told him, “You listen like a young psychologist.” That comment, forgotten for years, came back as a realisation. Trusting his instinct, Pep applied to study psychology at the university in Palma. At the age of 46, he was accepted. Returning to school was not easy. “I had to get used to being the oldest person in the room — older even than my professor,” he recalls. But Pep soon realised his age was a strength. “I believed disadvantages could be turned into advantages. I ended up helping my classmates because I had real-life experience. This experience breathed life into the theories we learnt in class.” Pep’s hard work paid off spectacularly. He graduated at the top of his class and impressed his teachers so much that he was offered a teaching position. Today, at 52, he lectures while studying for a master’s degree. Reflecting on his journey from the supermarket to the university, he says, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.” 56．What was Pep’s reaction when stepping into the lecture halls? (no more than 10 words) 57．Why did Pep give up his dream of getting a biology degree years ago? (no more than 5 words) 58．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4? (no more than 5 words) 59．What was the effect of Pep’s real-life experience on the theories? (no more than 10 words) 60．Pep regretted not starting earlier. What will you do to avoid similar regrets in your future? Please explain in your own words.

Yet they are the essence of our nation’s history and they carry profound wisdom and spiritual values.     To reverse this trend, I urge you to join practical activities. First, attend weekly calligraphy workshops to feel the charm of Chinese characters. Additionally, take part in traditional festival sharing sessions, where you can introduce customs like Mid-Autumn moon-gazing to peers. What counts most is that we can use platforms like Douyin to promote cultural influence.      Inheriting these cultures boosts our confidence and enriches our lives. Let’s act now, become responsible inheritors, and pass on our precious cultural heritage! Sincerely, Li Jin 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
