We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors. Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and if cared for, will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive. 31. What does the study find about metaphors? A. They help clarify abstract concepts. B. They may cause some misunderstanding. C. They make language more poetic and vivid. D. They can influence people’s minds and behavior. 32. Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise some doubt about metaphors. B. To highlight improper use of metaphors. C. To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D. To demonstrate the influence of metaphors. 33. How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”? A. It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B. It attaches great significance to natural talent. C. It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D. It simplifies the process of generating new ideas. 34. What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous. 【答案】31. D 32. D 33. A 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。主要通过举例和分析来探讨隐喻在语言和思维中的作用，以及不同隐喻如何影响人们的理解和行为。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. (Purchase学院进行的一项研究发现，隐喻可以塑造人们的视角，进而影响他们的推理和后续行为。)”可知，研究发现隐喻能够影响人们的思维和行为。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses… It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. (另一个例子是常用于描述新想法的灯泡隐喻，暗示新想法像打开电灯开关一样突然出现。然而，这个隐喻暗示新想法来得不费吹灰之力，只有少数天才才能拥有……这可能会导致人们质疑自己产生新想法的能力，并因此低估努力工作和持续学习在带来变化中的作用。)”可知，引用灯泡隐喻这个例子是为了说明隐喻如何影响人们对新想法产生过程的理解，即证明隐喻的影响力。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. (与灯泡隐喻不同，种子隐喻暗示了一种理解，即产生新想法是一个需要时间和努力的艰苦过程。它还表明，只要用心，任何人都可以成为思想的培育者。)”可知，种子隐喻与灯泡隐喻不同之处在于它暗示个人需要持续的努力。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive. (隐喻的微妙影响显示了语言的强大力量，尽管我们常常没有意识到这一点。谁会想到一个简单的灯泡隐喻会深刻地影响我们对创新概念的理解？鉴于我们思维的隐喻性，值得一问的是：我们的隐喻是否合适？我们有责任对自己和他人适当地使用隐喻。这些选择，无论是有意识还是无意识的，都可能是建设性的或破坏性的。)”可知，作者对隐喻的使用持谨慎态度，认为应该恰当地使用隐喻，因为无论是有意识还是无意识的，隐喻都可能是建设性的或破坏性的。故选C。 B Normally I pass my morning commute (通勤) absorbed in a book, headphones on. I miss a lot of what’s going on around me, but my reading hours are so limited and my “Books Read in2025” list is so embarrassingly short that I give up presence to get a couple of chapters in. On a recent day, however, I kept my book in my bag and made a game of looking at the people around me and imagining what their voices sound like. This game isn’t really fun, as games go, but it keeps me occupied, noticing, engaged with the world rather than ignoring it. In his poem “Everything Is Waiting for You,” David Whyte addresses the fundamental error of assuming separateness from everything and everyone else. “As if life / were a progressive and cunning crime / with no witness to the tiny hidden transgressions (越界).” He advises the reader to become alert. “You must note / the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom.” The ordinary items around us are animate in his reading of the world. And not only that—— they’re likely to look on us favorably, to enable us, free us. My retreat (躲避) into books while on the train is only partly about getting reading done. It’s also about shutting out distraction, because I think that whatever is happening around me is disturbing, at the very least extraneous to my central purpose, which is getting from A to B. Sitting and just being in space with strangers, instead of retreating into a book or a phone, sometimes requires a mental shift. Who and what else is here? What if these noise-canceling headphones are keeping me from hearing the actually quite charming voices of the people beside me? If I want to feel more connected to other people, then what’s protective isn’t always productive. Or, as Whyte instructs, “Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the /conversation.” 35. Why does the author usually bury herself in a book during her commute? A. To catch up on reading. B. To improve her public image. C. To observe strangers secretly. D. To make the commute feel shorter. 36. What does David Whyte seem to think of the world in his poem? A. A test that challenges us. B. A presence that supports us. C. A stage where we perform alone. D. A place where we make mistakes. 37. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Irrelevant. B. Dangerous. C. Unusual. D. Essential. 38. What does the author encourage readers to do? A. Keep to yourself and avoid small talk. B. Escape into books and block out noise. C. Listen to inner thoughts and reflect on them. D. Put down the headphones and tune in to others. 【答案】35. A 36. B 37. A 38. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过作者在通勤时从习惯“埋头读书隔绝外界”到“主动观察周围人事”的转变经历，结合诗人David Whyte的诗句，探讨了现代人过度依赖个人空间（如书籍、耳机）所导致的与现实的疏离感，并倡导打破这种自我隔离，更加开放地感知世界、与他人建立连接，从而在平凡生活中获得更丰富的体验与共鸣。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I miss a lot of what’s going on around me, but my reading hours are so limited and my “Books Read in2025” list is so embarrassingly short that I give up presence to get a couple of chapters in.(我错过了周遭发生的许多事，但我的阅读时间如此有限，而“2025年已读书单”又短得令人尴尬，所以我宁愿放弃关注当下，也要读完几章内容。)”可知，作者提到他的阅读时间很有限，因此在通勤时沉浸读书时为了抓紧时间阅读。故选A。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He advises the reader to become alert. “You must note / the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom.” The ordinary items around us are animate in his reading of the world. And not only that—— they’re likely to look on us favorably, to enable us, free us.(他建议读者保持警觉：“你必须留意肥皂盒如何助你清洁，窗栓如何给你自由。”在他的解读中，周围的寻常物品都是有生命的。不仅如此，它们还可能善意地注视着我们，帮助我们，解放我们。)”可知，David Whyte的诗歌解读为周围的事物都是由生命的，它们还帮助我们，解放我们，故说明世界是支持我们的存在。故选B。 【37题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章划线词extraneous前文的内容“It’s also about shutting out distraction, because I think that whatever is happening around me is disturbing(也是为了隔绝干扰。因为我认为身边发生的任何事都是令人分心的)”可知，划线词前文提到作者读书是为了隔绝干扰，认为身边发生的事情都是令人分心的，故可推知此处划线词extraneous与A项“Irrelevant(不相关的)”意思相近，周围的事情是令人分心的，至少与我“从A地到B地”的核心目标无关。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Or, as Whyte instructs, “Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the /conversation.”(或者，正如怀特所教导的那样：“放下你孤独的重负，轻松地加入对话吧。”)”可知，作者最后引用Whyte的诗句，鼓励读者放下孤独感，加入对话，故摘下耳机，融入其他人。故选D。 C It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of cooperation, not only because it was fundamental to the success of our species through evolution, but because it is fundamental to the success of almost all modern social interactions and relationships. Let’s start by defining what cooperation actually means. Although definitions vary, cooperation has been defined as working or acting together for mutual benefit. It requires two or more people to act in the best interest of their collective rather than acting for selfish benefit. During task-related communication, cooperation can be expressed in terms of proposing a fair distribution of resources or equal outcomes. If we consider the dangerous environments that our ancestors grew up in, where around every corner was a potential predator (捕食者), it’s no surprise that cooperation was encouraged. Having strong social relationships provided a helping hand when sick or injured, and helped gather food as well as warnings about what to avoid eating. As a result, modern humans are hard-wired to find cooperation rewarding. Researchers have demonstrated that cooperating with others is associated with increased reward-related activity in the brain compared to engaging in non-cooperative exchanges, even when the physical rewards obtained from such exchange remain the same. Evidently, it is in our nature to want to cooperate, and this is why our relationships thrive when we do. When we consider the needs of others and put the goals of the collective above the desire for selfish gain during decision making, we lay the groundwork for a strong trusting relationship to be built. But it’s not just in our personal lives that cooperation allows us to thrive, the same goes for our professional lives. In business, when we work collaboratively with others, be it at an individual level (between employees) or an industry level (between organizations), the shared resources and shared ideas enable innovation to flourish. It is exactly this cooperative approach of “two heads are better than one” that is at the heart of project success throughout academia and the private sector. 39. Which statement best defines cooperation according to paragraph 2? A. Acting together for common interests. B. Working individually for personal gains. C. Building strong relationships within a team. D. Associating with each other in an equal way. 40. Why does the author mention dangerous environments in human history? A. To show the cooperative ability of our ancestors. B. To explain the link between cooperation and reward. C. To highlight the role of cooperation in human survival. D. To illustrate the research of reward-related brain activity. 41. How does cooperation contribute to success in professional settings? A. It promotes innovations by sharing ideas and resources. B. It creates profit opportunities for organizations. C. It ensures fair competition among employees. D. It enables individuals to satisfy their desire. 42. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Cooperation leads to the boost of business. B. Cooperation strengthens personal relationships. C. Cooperation is a key driver of human development. D. Cooperation is a vital factor for professional success. 【答案】39. A 40. C 41. A 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了合作的重要性，不仅在人类进化过程中对成功至关重要，也在现代社会互动和关系中起着重要作用。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although definitions vary, cooperation has been defined as working or acting together for mutual benefit. It requires two or more people to act in the best interest of their collective rather than acting for selfish benefit.(尽管对合作的定义各不相同，但合作一直被定义为为共同利益而共同工作或行动。它要求两个或两个以上的人以他们集体的最佳利益行事，而不是为自己的利益行事。)”可知，关于合作的最好定义是为共同利益而共同行动。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“If we consider the dangerous environments that our ancestors grew up in, where around every corner was a potential predator (捕食者), it’s no surprise that cooperation was encouraged. Having strong social relationships provided a helping hand when sick or injured, and helped gather food as well as warnings about what to avoid eating.(如果我们考虑到我们祖先成长的危险环境，那里的每个角落都有潜在的捕食者，那么鼓励合作就不足为奇了。拥有强大的社会关系可以在生病或受伤时伸出援助之手，帮助收集食物以及警告不要吃什么。)”可知，作者提到人类历史上的危险环境是为了突出合作在人类生存中的作用。故选C。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In business, when we work collaboratively with others, be it at an individual level (between employees) or an industry level (between organizations), the shared resources and shared ideas enable innovation to flourish.(在商业中，当我们与他人合作时，无论是在个人层面（员工之间）还是在行业层面（组织之间），共享的资源和共享的想法使创新得以蓬勃发展。)”可知，在专业环境中合作通过分享想法和资源来促进创新以达到成功。故选A。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of cooperation, not only because it was fundamental to the success of our species through evolution, but because it is fundamental to the success of almost all modern social interactions and relationships.(合作的重要性怎么强调都不为过，不仅因为它是人类在进化过程中取得成功的基础，而且因为它是几乎所有现代社会互动和关系成功的基础。)”和最后一段最后一句“It is exactly this cooperative approach of “two heads are better than one” that is at the heart of project success throughout academia and the private sector.(正是这种“三个臭皮匠胜过一个诸葛亮”的合作方式，是整个学术界和私营部门项目成功的核心。)”可知，文章主要是讲合作是人类发展的重要动力。故选C。 D In October 2026, UK hosts events like New Scientist Live 2026.

For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well. I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”. I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did. As we organized teams, prepared resources, and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think. 47. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 1? ________________________________________________________________ 48. What did the family move bring to the author? ________________________________________________________________ 49. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? ________________________________________________________________ 50. What is your example of “cool”? Please explain why. ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】47. Feeling neglected. 48. A chance to redefine himself. 49. He found his own identity. 50. Pursuing true passion even when others don’t regard it cool because it brings self-acceptance. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者摆脱哥哥光环、找到自我并重新定义“酷”的经历。 【47题详解】 考查词句猜测。由文章第一段“As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.(任何弟弟都会告诉你，有个哥哥，往往意味着walking in someone else’s shadow，尤其当你的哥哥是众人眼中典型的“酷男孩”时，更是如此。多年来，我事事都想效仿哥哥泰森，可无论我多么努力，永远都是被忽略的那一个。我的天生体能远不如他，足球、篮球样样都做不好)”可知，有个哥哥，往往意味着长久活在别人的光环之下，尤其当你的哥哥是众人眼中典型的“酷男孩”时，walking in someone else’s shadow的意思是“感到被忽视”。 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”.(但搬家之后，一切都变了。泰森去上了大学，我只能独自一人转入新学校。全新的环境给了我重塑自我的机会，也让我发现了“酷”截然不同的全新定义。)”可知，搬家给作者带来了重新定义自己的机会。 【49题详解】 考查主旨大意。由文章第四段中“Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that ‘cool’ has a much broader definition than what I used to think.(现在我知道我是谁了！我是泰森的弟弟，但这只是我身份的一部分。我也以自己的方式成为一个很酷的人。我很高兴地知道，“酷”的定义比我以前认为的要广泛得多。)”可知，第四段主要讲了作者找到了自己的身份。 【50题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你眼中“酷”的例子是什么？并说明原因。答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：旁人不认可，依然坚持追寻自己真正热爱的事物，这才是酷，因为它能让人接纳自我。 四、写作 第一节 概要写作（10分） 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.  The Sounds of Relaxation In a fast-paced world, where stress and mental fatigue seem commonplace, we're constantly looking for new ways to unwind. Some people take a hot bath, watch a film, go for a run, or listen to slower tempo music to help them relax. But what about the chirrups (小鸟唧唧叫) and whistles of birdsong or other nature sounds? Could they also help people to let go of the tensions of modern life? According to a study by King's College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental wellbeing of people. Taking a trip to a place rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds chirping and warbling to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. And it's not just birds that could have a therapeutic effect on our moods. Another study commissioned by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds like leaves crunching underfoot or the gentle trickle of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than an app. Other sounds which may help to chill people out are waves lapping on the shore, gentle breezes, and light rainfall. However, not all of us live in rural surroundings, and depending on where we live, a trip to the countryside to see birds may not be an option. But could the nature sounds that originate there still help you? According to research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a profound effect on people's mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes (声景) of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their wellbeing. So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature, be it during a stroll through a wood or via some headphones. And maybe listening to the chirps, trills, warbles and whistles of some birds could help you to relax after a long, hard day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】People are seeking innovative ways to tackle tensions in modern life. Studies indicate that birdsongs and other nature sounds such as waves lapping or light rainfall have a healing effect on one’s moods. Meanwhile, recordings of nature sounds will deliver the same effect. Therefore, in order to unwind, expose yourself to natural surroundings in person or via headphones.

In my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, fragmented reading saves time and allows us to acquire information quickly. With just a smartphone, we can access diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere. However, the drawbacks are equally obvious. Constant exposure to short, scattered content weakens our ability to focus and think deeply. Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection. Version 2 My Views on Fragmented Reading Fragmented reading, characterized by scrolling through short videos and brief articles, dominates our daily lives. From my perspective, though convenient, this reading style does more harm than good. Admittedly, fragmented reading offers efficiency. We can grasp news highlights or learn practical tips within minutes. Yet the problems cannot be ignored. Firstly, it fragments our attention span, making it increasingly difficult to concentrate on longer texts. Secondly, the information obtained is often shallow and disconnected, failing to build a systematic knowledge structure. Therefore, my attitude is clear: while we may occasionally benefit from fragmented reading for quick updates, we should prioritize deep reading of complete works. Only by immersing ourselves in books can we truly develop critical thinking and gain profound insights. Let’s not sacrifice depth for speed. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“My Views on Fragmented Reading”为题，给校英文报专栏投稿，谈谈对数字化时代碎片化阅读的理解，简述其利弊并表明自身态度。 【详解】1.词汇积累（参考version1） 浏览：scroll through → flip through 获取：acquire → obtain 多样的：diverse → various 缺点：drawback → disadvantage 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. 拓展句：Personally, I hold the belief that fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句作believe的宾语） 【高分句型2】While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection.（运用了while引导的让步状语从句以及that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年港澳台名校联盟 六校联考 考试科目：英语 考试时长：120分钟 注意事项： 1、答案写在答题卡指定的位置上，写在试题卷上无效。 2、选择题作答必须用2B铅笔，修改时用橡皮擦干净。 3、解答题作答必须用黑色墨迹签字笔或钢笔填写，答题不得超出题框。 一、听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分；满分30分） 听完录音后，从各题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题的最佳选项。所有录音材料均仅读一遍。 例: Man: I wonder why the office is still not open.

We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors. Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and if cared for, will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive. 31. What does the study find about metaphors? A. They help clarify abstract concepts. B. They may cause some misunderstanding. C. They make language more poetic and vivid. D. They can influence people’s minds and behavior. 32. Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise some doubt about metaphors. B. To highlight improper use of metaphors. C. To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D. To demonstrate the influence of metaphors. 33. How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”? A. It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B. It attaches great significance to natural talent. C. It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D. It simplifies the process of generating new ideas. 34. What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous. B Normally I pass my morning commute (通勤) absorbed in a book, headphones on. I miss a lot of what’s going on around me, but my reading hours are so limited and my “Books Read in2025” list is so embarrassingly short that I give up presence to get a couple of chapters in. On a recent day, however, I kept my book in my bag and made a game of looking at the people around me and imagining what their voices sound like. This game isn’t really fun, as games go, but it keeps me occupied, noticing, engaged with the world rather than ignoring it. In his poem “Everything Is Waiting for You,” David Whyte addresses the fundamental error of assuming separateness from everything and everyone else. “As if life / were a progressive and cunning crime / with no witness to the tiny hidden transgressions (越界).” He advises the reader to become alert. “You must note / the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom.” The ordinary items around us are animate in his reading of the world. And not only that—— they’re likely to look on us favorably, to enable us, free us. My retreat (躲避) into books while on the train is only partly about getting reading done. It’s also about shutting out distraction, because I think that whatever is happening around me is disturbing, at the very least extraneous to my central purpose, which is getting from A to B. Sitting and just being in space with strangers, instead of retreating into a book or a phone, sometimes requires a mental shift. Who and what else is here? What if these noise-canceling headphones are keeping me from hearing the actually quite charming voices of the people beside me? If I want to feel more connected to other people, then what’s protective isn’t always productive. Or, as Whyte instructs, “Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the /conversation.” 35. Why does the author usually bury herself in a book during her commute? A. To catch up on reading. B. To improve her public image. C. To observe strangers secretly. D. To make the commute feel shorter. 36. What does David Whyte seem to think of the world in his poem? A. A test that challenges us. B. A presence that supports us. C. A stage where we perform alone. D. A place where we make mistakes. 37. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Irrelevant. B. Dangerous. C. Unusual. D. Essential. 38. What does the author encourage readers to do? A. Keep to yourself and avoid small talk. B. Escape into books and block out noise. C. Listen to inner thoughts and reflect on them. D. Put down the headphones and tune in to others. C It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of cooperation, not only because it was fundamental to the success of our species through evolution, but because it is fundamental to the success of almost all modern social interactions and relationships. Let’s start by defining what cooperation actually means. Although definitions vary, cooperation has been defined as working or acting together for mutual benefit. It requires two or more people to act in the best interest of their collective rather than acting for selfish benefit. During task-related communication, cooperation can be expressed in terms of proposing a fair distribution of resources or equal outcomes. If we consider the dangerous environments that our ancestors grew up in, where around every corner was a potential predator (捕食者), it’s no surprise that cooperation was encouraged. Having strong social relationships provided a helping hand when sick or injured, and helped gather food as well as warnings about what to avoid eating. As a result, modern humans are hard-wired to find cooperation rewarding. Researchers have demonstrated that cooperating with others is associated with increased reward-related activity in the brain compared to engaging in non-cooperative exchanges, even when the physical rewards obtained from such exchange remain the same. Evidently, it is in our nature to want to cooperate, and this is why our relationships thrive when we do. When we consider the needs of others and put the goals of the collective above the desire for selfish gain during decision making, we lay the groundwork for a strong trusting relationship to be built. But it’s not just in our personal lives that cooperation allows us to thrive, the same goes for our professional lives. In business, when we work collaboratively with others, be it at an individual level (between employees) or an industry level (between organizations), the shared resources and shared ideas enable innovation to flourish. It is exactly this cooperative approach of “two heads are better than one” that is at the heart of project success throughout academia and the private sector. 39. Which statement best defines cooperation according to paragraph 2? A. Acting together for common interests. B. Working individually for personal gains. C. Building strong relationships within a team. D. Associating with each other in an equal way. 40. Why does the author mention dangerous environments in human history? A. To show the cooperative ability of our ancestors. B. To explain the link between cooperation and reward. C. To highlight the role of cooperation in human survival. D. To illustrate the research of reward-related brain activity. 41. How does cooperation contribute to success in professional settings? A. It promotes innovations by sharing ideas and resources. B. It creates profit opportunities for organizations. C. It ensures fair competition among employees. D. It enables individuals to satisfy their desire. 42. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Cooperation leads to the boost of business. B. Cooperation strengthens personal relationships. C. Cooperation is a key driver of human development. D. Cooperation is a vital factor for professional success.

For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well. I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”. I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did. As we organized teams, prepared resources, and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think. 47.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.  The Sounds of Relaxation In a fast-paced world, where stress and mental fatigue seem commonplace, we're constantly looking for new ways to unwind. Some people take a hot bath, watch a film, go for a run, or listen to slower tempo music to help them relax. But what about the chirrups (小鸟唧唧叫) and whistles of birdsong or other nature sounds? Could they also help people to let go of the tensions of modern life? According to a study by King's College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental wellbeing of people. Taking a trip to a place rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds chirping and warbling to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. And it's not just birds that could have a therapeutic effect on our moods. Another study commissioned by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds like leaves crunching underfoot or the gentle trickle of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than an app. Other sounds which may help to chill people out are waves lapping on the shore, gentle breezes, and light rainfall. However, not all of us live in rural surroundings, and depending on where we live, a trip to the countryside to see birds may not be an option. But could the nature sounds that originate there still help you? According to research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a profound effect on people's mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes (声景) of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their wellbeing. So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature, be it during a stroll through a wood or via some headphones. And maybe listening to the chirps, trills, warbles and whistles of some birds could help you to relax after a long, hard day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 书面表达（25分） 52. 你校英文报最近开设专栏讨论在数字化时代如何看待碎片化阅读。请以My Views on Fragmented Reading为题投稿，谈谈你的理解和看法。内容包括： 1．对碎片化阅读的理解； 2．简述利弊并表明你的态度。 注意：1．词数80左右；2．请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My Views on Fragmented Reading __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
