B Anita Nowinska found her long-lost pastels (蜡笔) while digging through a worn suitcase, using only a candle for light. “By candlelight I created my first flower painting,” she recalls. “As I painted, I found my deep sadness and pain disappear. That single act saved me, healed me and gave me a sense of purpose.” Her career path was far from straightforward. At eight, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group under a Polish painter. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped paints for fast money. “It gave me a nice lifestyle financially,” she says, “but it was soul-destroying.” Anita set aside her art to run an internet business, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years. When the dot-com bubble burst, her clients suffered, and her business sank. Today, she is known for her vast, immersive canvases (油画) featuring meadows, wild grasses and blossoms — paintings that ask you to stop, breathe and look. “I want the viewer to see what I see: the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder.” She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in a gentle wind. Art, for Anita, is a celebration of nature. “Walking through the greenery is my meditation,” she says. “Some call it mindfulness, but for me it’s just immersing myself in wonder.” One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita’s work for three hours, saying it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain. That, for Anita, is the point. “I can’t teach you how to paint,” she shrugs. “I can only teach you how to look.” And her latest series, See Me I Bloom, extends that lesson to womanhood: “It’s about women truly valuing themselves — their strength, wisdom, and determination. We create and nurture life — what could be more important?” 14. What can be inferred about Anita’s early relationship with art in Paragraph 2? A. She received formal art education from a young age. B. Both of her parents fully supported her artistic pursuits. C. Her talent was recognized early but she faced difficulties. D. She valued economic success over art from the beginning. 15. How did Anita feel about her years as a businesswoman? A. Empty and meaningless. B. Rewarding yet stressful. C. Accomplished and content. D. Challenging yet enjoyable. 16. Why does Anita paint large canvases? A. To showcase her unique pastel techniques. B. To follow the trend of contemporary art forms. C. To create a sense of being surrounded by nature. D. To draw viewers to the breathtaking nature of life. 17. What can art do for people according to Anita? A. It teaches viewers the exact rules of painting. B. It helps people learn to discover meaning in life. C. It shows women the true value of avoiding pain. D. It encourages artists to pursue economic rewards. C Aurora Nikula, 5, is having a normal day at her kindergarten. She is making a cake out of sand and mud, adding in make-believe carrots, potatoes and meat. Aki Sinkkonen, a scientist watching, is very interested in the cake, but for different reasons. “Perfect,” he says, admiring the way she is mixing dirt, sand and leaves and then putting it on her face. “She’s really getting her hands in it.” To a hygiene-conscious (注重卫生的) kindergarten, this could be a problem, but at Humpula daycare centre in Helsinki, children are encouraged to increase their contact with the microscopic biodiversity (微生物多样性) . This kindergarten was included in a two-year study looking at how biodiversity enhancements affect the microbial composition of children’s skin. The staff dug up and set up a giant live carpet of forest floor. The plants, dead wood and soil in the daycare centre were specially chosen for their rich micro-biodiversity. Children grow carrots, potatoes and cucumbers, harvesting and cooking what they plant. A year later, it found that children in contact with nature were less likely to develop immune-related (免疫相关的) illnesses. The results support the “old friends” assumption that humans developed alongside microbes (微生物) in air, plants and soil. The body can exchange useful microbes with the natural world to stay healthy. Without contact with these, immune function can become overactive, leading to disease. The kindergartens provide evidence of how crucial healthy ecosystems are to human health. Increasing biodiversity can be a win-win for children’s health and the environment. Based on that, the University of Sheffield has done research on placing green screens around school playgrounds to prevent air pollution from harming children’s health. Hunter’s Bar infant school in Sheffield created a 70-metre-long fence of plants that goes around the playground. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) levels dropped by 13% within six months, with further decreases expected as the wall continues to grow. 18. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Guided hands-on practice. B. Kids’ exposure to dirt and mud. C. Delicious homemade food for kids. D. The diversity of life forms in the garden. 19. What did the staff at Humpula daycare centre do? A. Rewild their kindergarten. B. Grow a forest in the backyard. C. Promote forest education among kids. D. Introduce kids to useful farming practices. 20. Why does nature contact reduce people’s chance of getting sick? A. It improves their mood. B. It strengthens the ecosystem. C. It removes harmful microbes. D. It balances their immune system. 21. Why does the author mention the Sheffield study? A. To support green schools. B. To give direction for further research. C. To promote healthy growth in school children. D. To show an application of the research finding. D We are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught. Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unusual idea: procrastination (拖延) might improve originality. Shin asked participants to propose businesses for a college empty place left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they always proposed ordinary ideas — like another convenience store. When Shin randomly asked some participants to play computer games before completing the task, they generated more creative ideas. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的) thinking rather than getting stuck with one strategy. Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a tool for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever (效率狂热). In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time. In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder studied hundreds of brands (品牌), comparing pioneering companies to slower ones entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of the latecomers. These latecomers are often regarded as copycats, but this misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which featured basic sports games. A latecomer, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by transforming gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing. 22. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding? A. No pain, no gain. B. More speed, less effect. C. The later, the better. D. Strike while the iron is hot. 23. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To support a viewpoint. B. To introduce a practice. C. To promote a phenomenon. D. To correct a misunderstanding. 24. What plays a key role in latecomers’ success based on Golder’s findings? A. Mastering strategic timing. B. Breaking existing rules. C. Employing high technology. D. Doing effective marketing. 25. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A. Act Now: The Early Bird Principle! B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Latecomers. C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait...a Moment. D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying? 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Hedgehog’s Dilemma is a concept that explores the tension between the desire for close relationships and the risk of emotional harm. German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain. ___26___ So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? ___27___ But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. ___28___ For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. ___29___ Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. While these defenses may provide short-term protection, they can block meaningful connections if they persist. In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t have the quills. ___30___ So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all — the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt. A. However, modern research offers a different perspective. B. This metaphor shows the importance of adaptability in nature. C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences. D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future. E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. F. This reflects humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection. G. We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves. 第四部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a community music class, ten teenagers from eight different countries gathered with traditional instruments. My Spanish guitar stood beside Maria’s Chinese erhu and Samuel’s West African djembe. Our initial attempt to play together ____31____ disordered mixture of conflicting scales (音阶) and rhythms, creating an atmosphere thick with ____32____ .

However, as we gradually learned to play each other’s phrases, ____36____ occurred. We began to listen more deeply, moving beyond the ____37____ to understand the musician behind them. Samuel’s drum pattern ____38____ life; Maria’s erhu conveyed longing; my guitar ____39____ raw emotion. Ms. Davies then helped ____40____ these elements together. The erhu’s call became a question answered by the guitar’s passion, supported by the djembe’s steady rhythm. We didn’t blend into uniformity; each sound remained ____41____, creating a global tapestry (织锦) where every culture was highlighted. Our final performance, though ____42____, earned thunderous applause. We discovered true harmony doesn’t require ____43____ notes, but respect for different voices and recognition of ____44____ human emotions. That day, music became more than sound; it became a bridge, and we were its ____45____. 31. A. resulted in B. took in C. succeeded in D. turned into 32.

A. where B. that C. when D. which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这种友好的氛围让学生感到可以自由地表达自己的想法，这对创造性思维非常有帮助。分析句子结构可知，此处引导定语从句，修饰先行词atmosphere。先行词atmosphere表示“氛围、环境”，为抽象地点名词，定语从句中不缺少主语或宾语，缺少的是地点状语，即“在这种氛围中”，因此应用关系副词where引导定语从句。 4. Marching along the street ________ a group of students, ________ fancy robes and hats. A. was; dressing B. were; wearing C. was; wearing D. were; dressed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：沿着街道行进的是一群学生，穿着华丽的长袍和帽子。本句是完全倒装句，a group of students是主语，第一空用be动词were。be dressed in“穿着”后接衣物，dressing/dressed后不能接衣物。a group of students与wear为主动关系，第二空用现在分词wearing作状语。 5. There is a notice on the gate of the library ________ that it is closed because the ceilings ________ for the moment. A. to say; being repaired B. says; are repaired C. saying; are being repaired D. saying; have been repaired 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：图书馆门口有一则通知，上面写着图书馆闭馆，因为天花板目前正在维修中。第一空，主句中已有谓语动词is，空处用非谓语动词，notice与say之间为主动关系，用现在分词saying作后置定语；第二空为原因状语从句的谓语动词，ceilings与repair为被动关系，for the moment表示此刻正在进行，用现在进行时的被动语态are being repaired。 6. I hate it ________ he is the only one of the students who ________ the rules in class. A. when; breaks B. that; break C. where; breaks D. which; break 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我讨厌他偏偏是班里唯一一个上课违反纪律的学生。I hate it when...表示“我讨厌……这种情况”，为固定句型。“who _____ the rules in class”是定语从句，修饰先行词the only one，从句谓语动词应该与先行词the only one保持一致，第二空用第三人称单数形式breaks。 7. ________ was expected by all the teachers, Jenny, diligent as always, was the first student ________ the task. A. Which; completing B. It; to complete C. As; completing D. As; to complete 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：正如所有老师所预料的那样，一向勤奋的珍妮是第一个完成这项任务的学生。第一空固定非限制性定语从句搭配：as was expected表示“正如所料”，只能用as放句首；第二空固定语法：序数词修饰名词，后必用不定式to do作后置定语，不能用doing。 8. With thick fog ________ the whole small town, John’s parents wouldn’t have him ________ alone that night. A. enveloped; to drive B. enveloping; driving C. enveloped; drives D. to envelop; drove 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于浓雾笼罩着整个小镇，约翰的父母不让他那天晚上独自驾车。“With thick fog _____ the whole small town”是with复合结构，thick fog和envelop是主动关系，第一个空用现在分词enveloping，作宾语补足语。have sb doing sth.“让某人一直做某事”，第二个空用现在分词driving，作宾语补足语。 9. The movie we watched last night is ________, ________ the leading actor has won high praise from critics. A. fascinated; in which B. inspired; in which C. inspiring; whose D. fascinating; for which 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们昨晚看的这部电影很吸引人，正因如此主演获得了评论家的高度赞誉。A. fascinated入迷的；in which在其中；B. inspired有灵感的；in which在其中；C. inspiring鼓舞人心的；whose谁的；D. fascinating吸引人的；for which 正因/为此。修饰事物电影用 - ing 形容词 fascinating，不用修饰人的 fascinated、inspired；后半句表“因为这部电影（出色），男主获好评”，用for which表原因逻辑，whose不能引导该句意，in which逻辑不符。 10. ________ he encounters many challenges, he is still ________ to achieve his goal. A. Despite; determined B. In spite of; determining C. Although; determined D. Though; determining 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管他遇到许多挑战，但他仍决心实现自己的目标。despite和in spite of是介词短语，其后接名词、代词或动名词，不能接句子，而这里“he encounters many challenges”是句子，所以排除A、B选项。be determined to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“决心做某事”，所以用determined。although/though是连词，意为“尽管”，可引导让步状语从句。 第三部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50 分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A International Dinner Returns This Saturday — Get your tickets here!

That single act saved me, healed me and gave me a sense of purpose.” Her career path was far from straightforward. At eight, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group under a Polish painter. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped paints for fast money. “It gave me a nice lifestyle financially,” she says, “but it was soul-destroying.” Anita set aside her art to run an internet business, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years. When the dot-com bubble burst, her clients suffered, and her business sank. Today, she is known for her vast, immersive canvases (油画) featuring meadows, wild grasses and blossoms — paintings that ask you to stop, breathe and look. “I want the viewer to see what I see: the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder.” She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in a gentle wind. Art, for Anita, is a celebration of nature. “Walking through the greenery is my meditation,” she says. “Some call it mindfulness, but for me it’s just immersing myself in wonder.” One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita’s work for three hours, saying it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain. That, for Anita, is the point. “I can’t teach you how to paint,” she shrugs. “I can only teach you how to look.” And her latest series, See Me I Bloom, extends that lesson to womanhood: “It’s about women truly valuing themselves — their strength, wisdom, and determination. We create and nurture life — what could be more important?” 14. What can be inferred about Anita’s early relationship with art in Paragraph 2? A. She received formal art education from a young age. B. Both of her parents fully supported her artistic pursuits. C. Her talent was recognized early but she faced difficulties. D. She valued economic success over art from the beginning. 15. How did Anita feel about her years as a businesswoman? A. Empty and meaningless. B. Rewarding yet stressful. C. Accomplished and content. D. Challenging yet enjoyable. 16. Why does Anita paint large canvases? A. To showcase her unique pastel techniques. B. To follow the trend of contemporary art forms. C. To create a sense of being surrounded by nature. D. To draw viewers to the breathtaking nature of life. 17. What can art do for people according to Anita? A. It teaches viewers the exact rules of painting. B. It helps people learn to discover meaning in life. C. It shows women the true value of avoiding pain. D. It encourages artists to pursue economic rewards. 【答案】14. C 15. A 16. C 17. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述安妮塔早年与艺术结缘、中途经商失意，晚年回归绘画，借自然主题画作疗愈心灵、传递自我珍视力量的人生故事。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At eight, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group under a Polish painter.(八岁时，安妮塔受邀跟随一位波兰画家的大师团队学习)”以及“Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work.(她的母亲很支持她，给她买油画颜料；她的父亲则不然，经常毁掉她的作品)”可知，安妮塔年少时艺术天赋被认可，但同时也遭遇了来自父亲的阻碍，面临诸多困境。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Anita set aside her art to run an internet business, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years.(安妮塔放下艺术去经营互联网生意，但那些年她从未感到快乐)”以及第二段“it was soul-destroying.(这令人精神空虚)”可知，经商的那些年，她内心空虚，觉得生活毫无意义。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in a gentle wind.(她画大幅油画，是因为她想让观者感受到被包裹其中，如同置身微风之中)”可知，她创作大幅油画，是为了营造出被自然环绕的沉浸式感受。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I can’t teach you how to paint. I can only teach you how to look.(我教不会人们如何画画，我只能教会人们如何去观察)”可知，在安妮塔看来，艺术能够帮助人们学会观察生活，发掘生活中的美好与意义。 C Aurora Nikula, 5, is having a normal day at her kindergarten. She is making a cake out of sand and mud, adding in make-believe carrots, potatoes and meat. Aki Sinkkonen, a scientist watching, is very interested in the cake, but for different reasons. “Perfect,” he says, admiring the way she is mixing dirt, sand and leaves and then putting it on her face. “She’s really getting her hands in it.” To a hygiene-conscious (注重卫生的) kindergarten, this could be a problem, but at Humpula daycare centre in Helsinki, children are encouraged to increase their contact with the microscopic biodiversity (微生物多样性) . This kindergarten was included in a two-year study looking at how biodiversity enhancements affect the microbial composition of children’s skin. The staff dug up and set up a giant live carpet of forest floor. The plants, dead wood and soil in the daycare centre were specially chosen for their rich micro-biodiversity. Children grow carrots, potatoes and cucumbers, harvesting and cooking what they plant. A year later, it found that children in contact with nature were less likely to develop immune-related (免疫相关的) illnesses. The results support the “old friends” assumption that humans developed alongside microbes (微生物) in air, plants and soil. The body can exchange useful microbes with the natural world to stay healthy. Without contact with these, immune function can become overactive, leading to disease. The kindergartens provide evidence of how crucial healthy ecosystems are to human health. Increasing biodiversity can be a win-win for children’s health and the environment. Based on that, the University of Sheffield has done research on placing green screens around school playgrounds to prevent air pollution from harming children’s health. Hunter’s Bar infant school in Sheffield created a 70-metre-long fence of plants that goes around the playground. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) levels dropped by 13% within six months, with further decreases expected as the wall continues to grow. 18. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Guided hands-on practice. B. Kids’ exposure to dirt and mud. C. Delicious homemade food for kids. D. The diversity of life forms in the garden. 19. What did the staff at Humpula daycare centre do? A. Rewild their kindergarten. B. Grow a forest in the backyard. C. Promote forest education among kids. D. Introduce kids to useful farming practices. 20. Why does nature contact reduce people’s chance of getting sick? A. It improves their mood. B. It strengthens the ecosystem. C. It removes harmful microbes. D. It balances their immune system. 21. Why does the author mention the Sheffield study? A. To support green schools. B. To give direction for further research. C. To promote healthy growth in school children. D. To show an application of the research finding. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. D 21. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了芬兰一所幼儿园鼓励孩子接触自然泥土以增加微生物多样性接触，研究证实此举能降低儿童免疫相关疾病发病率，并讲述了该研究成果在校园健康保护方面的应用。 【18题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“To a hygiene-conscious kindergarten, this could be a problem, but at Humpula daycare centre in Helsinki, children are encouraged to increase their contact with the microscopic biodiversity. (对于注重卫生的幼儿园来说，这可能是个问题，但在赫尔辛基的洪普拉日托中心，孩子们被鼓励增加与微生物多样性的接触。)”结合第一段孩子用沙子和泥巴做蛋糕的行为，可推知this指代孩子们接触泥土和泥浆。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The staff dug up and set up a giant live carpet of forest floor. The plants, dead wood and soil in the daycare centre were specially chosen for their rich micro-biodiversity. (工作人员挖掘并铺设了一大片鲜活的森林地表层。日托中心里的植物、枯木和土壤都是因其丰富的微生物多样性而精心挑选的。)”可知，工作人员对幼儿园进行了自然化改造。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The body can exchange useful microbes with the natural world to stay healthy. Without contact with these, immune function can become overactive, leading to disease. (人体可以与自然界交换有益微生物以保持健康。如果不接触这些微生物，免疫功能可能会变得过度活跃，从而引发疾病。)”可知，接触自然可以平衡免疫系统。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Based on that, the University of Sheffield has done research on placing green screens around school playgrounds to prevent air pollution from harming children’s health. (基于此，谢菲尔德大学开展了在学校操场周围设置绿植屏障以防止空气污染损害儿童健康的研究。)”可推知，作者提到这一研究是为了表明该研究的实际应用。 D We are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught. Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unusual idea: procrastination (拖延) might improve originality. Shin asked participants to propose businesses for a college empty place left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they always proposed ordinary ideas — like another convenience store. When Shin randomly asked some participants to play computer games before completing the task, they generated more creative ideas. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的) thinking rather than getting stuck with one strategy. Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a tool for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever (效率狂热). In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time. In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder studied hundreds of brands (品牌), comparing pioneering companies to slower ones entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of the latecomers. These latecomers are often regarded as copycats, but this misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which featured basic sports games. A latecomer, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by transforming gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing. 22. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding? A. No pain, no gain. B. More speed, less effect. C. The later, the better. D. Strike while the iron is hot. 23. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To support a viewpoint. B. To introduce a practice. C. To promote a phenomenon. D. To correct a misunderstanding. 24. What plays a key role in latecomers’ success based on Golder’s findings? A. Mastering strategic timing. B. Breaking existing rules. C. Employing high technology. D. Doing effective marketing. 25. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A. Act Now: The Early Bird Principle! B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Latecomers. C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait...a Moment. D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying? 【答案】22. B 23. A 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了拖延对创造力的积极作用，并通过研究实例和市场案例说明晚行动者如何通过把握时机取得成功。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unusual idea: procrastination (拖延) might improve originality....Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的) thinking rather than getting stuck with one strategy. (最近，研究人员Jihae Shin测试了一个不同寻常的想法：拖延可能会提高创造力。……Shin总结说，当你拖延一项任务时，你为自己赢得了发散思维的时间，而不是陷入一种策略)”可知，拖延可能促进创造力，因为其避免了过早专注于单一策略。B项“More speed, less effect.(欲速则不达)”与Shin的发现一致，即快速行动可能限制创造力，拖延反而可能促进创造力。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a tool for creativity....In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time. (拖延可能是效率的敌人，但它可以是创造力的工具。……在古埃及，拖延有两个不同的动词：一个表示懒惰；另一个意味着等待合适的时机)”可知，本段通过介绍古埃及对拖延的双重定义来支持了“拖延可能是创造力的工具”这一观点。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of the latecomers.(结果令人震惊：先驱者的失败率是后来者的六倍)”和第五段中“Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. ...Nintendo...transforming gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing.(他们不是满足现有的需求，而是等到准备好推出新东西的时候。……任天堂……通过用户友好的控制器、高级角色和互动角色扮演改变了游戏)”可知，戈尔德发现晚行动者通过等待合适的时机推出创新产品而成功。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中“procrastination (拖延) might improve originality.(拖延可能提高创造力)”和第三段中“Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a tool for creativity.(拖延可能是效率的敌人，但它可以是创造力的工具)”可知，文章的核心观点是拖延可能激发创造力，并通过研究及案例说明“等待时机”的重要性。所以文章很可能出自“Unlocking Originality: Please Wait...a Moment.《释放创造力：请稍等……》”一书。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Hedgehog’s Dilemma is a concept that explores the tension between the desire for close relationships and the risk of emotional harm. German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain. ___26___ So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? ___27___ But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. ___28___ For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. ___29___ Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. While these defenses may provide short-term protection, they can block meaningful connections if they persist. In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t have the quills. ___30___ So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all — the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt. A. However, modern research offers a different perspective. B. This metaphor shows the importance of adaptability in nature. C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences. D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future. E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. F. This reflects humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection. G. We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves. 【答案】26. F 27. E 28. A 29. C 30. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍刺猬困境的概念，及其在生活中的体现和相关研究观点。 【26题详解】 上文“German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills (刺) . They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain. (德国哲学家叔本华用刺猬在寒冷冬日取暖的比喻：它们挤在一起取暖，但很快就会感受到彼此刺的疼痛。它们分开，却又再次感到寒冷，最终找到一个合适的距离，既能取暖又不会疼痛。)”描述了刺猬困境的具体情况，F选项“This reflects humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection. (这反映了人类在平衡亲密关系和自我保护之间的挣扎。)”中的“This”指代上文刺猬的例子，且准确地总结出该例子所反映的人类在亲密关系和自我保护间的挣扎，承接上文，符合语境。故选F项。 【27题详解】 上文“So that’ s the theory，but what does this look like in our everyday lives? (这就是这个理论，但在我们的日常生活中这是什么样的呢?)”引出在生活中刺猬困境的体现这一话题，下文“But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? (但是我们应该让这些经历阻碍我们在未来放下戒备吗? )”中的“these experiences”提示上文应提及一些经历，E选项“Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. (许多人都有过来自亲密关系的情感痛苦的经历。)”既回答了上文关于生活中刺猬困境的问题，又引出下文对这些经历影响的讨论，符合语境。故选E项。 【28题详解】 上文“But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. (但我们应该让这些经历阻止我们在未来放松警惕吗? 叔本华的建议可能是“是的”)”表明叔本华的观点，下文“For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. (例如，一项分析了148项涉及308,849名参与者的研究的综述发现，拥有强大社交关系的个体生存的可能性增加了50%。此外，国家老龄化研究所报告称，长期隔离的健康风险相当于每天抽15支烟。)”通过研究表明亲密关系的好处，与叔本华的观点相反，A选项“However, modern research offers a different perspective. (然而，现代研究提供了不同的观点。)”起到转折作用，引出下文与叔本华观点不同的现代研究内容，符合语境。故选A项。 【29题详解】 下文“Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. While these defenses may provide short-term protection, they can block meaningful connections if they persist. (心理治疗师希拉里·桑德斯解释说，像孤立或愤怒这样的行为在童年时期可以作为生存策略。虽然这些防御机制可能提供短期保护，但如果持续下去，它们可能会阻碍有意义的联系。)”说明一些防御行为的起源和影响，C选项“Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences. (大多数防御反应源于早期经历。)”中的“defensive reactions”与下文“these defenses”相呼应，且概括了下文关于防御行为起源的内容，引出下文具体解释，符合语境。故选C项。 【30题详解】 上文“Yes，there are risks in exposing our true selves and emotions，but unlike hedgehogs，humans don’t come with the quills. (是的，暴露真实的自我和情感存在风险，但与刺猬不同，人类没有天生的刺。)”指出人类与刺猬的不同，下文“So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all — the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt. (所以，当我们学会为可靠的人放下防备时，我们实际上有可能拥有一切——真正关系的温暖而无需害怕受伤。)”说明人类可以为可靠的人放下防备，G 选项“We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves. (我们有能力选择我们信任的人，以及如何保护自己。)”承上启下，既体现了人类与刺猬的不同，即人类有选择和保护自己的能力，又引出下文为可靠的人放下防备的内容，符合语境。故选G项。 第四部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a community music class, ten teenagers from eight different countries gathered with traditional instruments. My Spanish guitar stood beside Maria’s Chinese erhu and Samuel’s West African djembe. Our initial attempt to play together ____31____ disordered mixture of conflicting scales (音阶) and rhythms, creating an atmosphere thick with ____32____ . Our instructor, Ms. Davies, ____33____ a simple but profound instruction: “Listen,” she urged, “Do not merely play; seek to understand the story within each other’s music.” Instead of ____34____ our traditions, we each taught a short musical phrase from our culture. ____35____, my guitar’s flamenco riff clashed (不协调) with the erhu’s melancholy, while the djembe’s complex rhythms confused us. However, as we gradually learned to play each other’s phrases, ____36____ occurred. We began to listen more deeply, moving beyond the ____37____ to understand the musician behind them. Samuel’s drum pattern ____38____ life; Maria’s erhu conveyed longing; my guitar ____39____ raw emotion. Ms. Davies then helped ____40____ these elements together. The erhu’s call became a question answered by the guitar’s passion, supported by the djembe’s steady rhythm. We didn’t blend into uniformity; each sound remained ____41____, creating a global tapestry (织锦) where every culture was highlighted. Our final performance, though ____42____, earned thunderous applause.
