In 1924, she left her children in Russia and went to Paris for an art job. Little did she know that she would not return until 1965, due to strict rules in place in Russia and the complicated backdrop (背景) of World War I. Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives. A year after her return to Russia, her daughter organized three successful exhibitions to celebrate her work. Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. Following Cassatt’s sister’s diagnosis with a serious kidney disease, Cassatt only painted her extended family in private settings, with women and children as her special focus. Cassatt was hugely successful and her influence continues to be felt today. Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. However, in 1959, she moved to France, where she lived in a house that overlooked a landscape painted by Monet. Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cézanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四位不同时代和背景的女性艺术家的生平与成就。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zinaida Serebriakova (1884-1967) 部分“Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives.(她的画作经常以她家附近的风景和孩子们的日常生活为特色)”和Joan Mitchell (1925-1992)部分“Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cé zanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art.(她的灵感来自大自然和伟大的现代艺术家，如Cé zanne、Matisse和Monet，她的目标是捕捉情感，而不是在她的艺术中捕捉可识别的风景)”可知，Zinaida Serebriakova和Joan Mitchell共同的特点是他们在周围环境中找到灵感。故选D项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) 部分“Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. (Mary Cassatt是受邀参加1874年巴黎首届印象派画展的四名女性之一)”可知，Mary Cassatt被邀请在第一届印象派画展上展示她的作品。故选B项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996) 部分“Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79. (在79岁时，她利用沙子和蜡染以及仪式人体彩绘的创作经验，在画布上创作了自己的第一幅画)”可知，Emily Kame Kngwarreye与其他画家的不同之处在于她画人体彩绘。故选A项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据每一部分的第一句即第一部分的“Following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and her husband’s death a year later, Zinaida Serebriakova struggled to make a living as an artist. (1917年俄国爆发布尔什维克革命，一年后她的丈夫去世, Zinaida Serebriakova努力成为一名艺术家以谋生)”，第二部分的“Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. (Mary Cassatt是1874年第一次印象派展览会邀请参展的四位女性画家之一) ”，第三部分的“Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. (Joan Mitchell是20世纪50年代纽约最杰出的年轻画家之一，是具有影响力的艺术家俱乐部的成员，并参加了1951年的第九届画展，该画展首次向公众展示了抽象表现主义)”，以及第四部分的“An Aboriginal elder, Emily Kame Kngwarreye was one of Australia’s most important artists. (作为一名土著老人，Emily Kame Kngwarreye是澳大利亚最重要的艺术家之一)”可知，这篇文章的目的是为了介绍四位有影响力的女性艺术家的成就。故选C项。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据每一部分的小标题以及第一句可知，本文介绍了四位女性艺术家，所以这篇文章最有可能发表在现代艺术这个题材相关的书中。故选B项。 B Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide. “Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors. Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do. I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes (坑) on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice. 56. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher? A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. B. Because the writer was insincere. C. Because the student was naughty. D. Because the answer was difficult to understand. 57.

A 2025 cross-country study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology — involving 120,000 participants from 45 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia — offers new insights into this complex relationship, challenging some long-held assumptions. The research team, led by Dr. Elena Marquez from the University of Zurich, first analyzed the connection between “absolute income” (total annual earnings) and self-reported happiness scores (measured on a 10-point scale). They found that for individuals with annual incomes below 75,000, there was a strong positive correlation: each 10,000 increase in income was associated with a 0.8-point rise in happiness. However, above 75,000, the correlation weakened dramatically — an additional 10,000 only led to a 0.1-point increase. Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000 figure the “happiness threshold” (幸福阈值): beyond this point, more money did not significantly boost happiness. What surprised researchers even more was the impact of “relative income” (income compared to peers in the same social group, such as colleagues or neighbors). For participants earning above the 75,000 threshold, relative income became a key factor. Those who earned 20% more than their peers reported happiness scores 1.2 points higher than those who earned 20% less — even if both groups had annual incomes above 100,000. “It’s not just how much you have,” Dr. Marquez explained, “but how much you have compared to people around you. This ‘social comparison effect’ often overrides the influence of absolute income once basic needs are met.” The study also highlighted regional differences. In high-cost-of-living regions like New York or Tokyo, the happiness threshold was slightly higher — around 95,000 — due to increased expenses for housing and daily necessities. In contrast, in areas with lower living costs, such as parts of rural India or Vietnam, the threshold dropped to 50,000. Notably, the social comparison effect was more pronounced in individualistic cultures (e.g., the U.S., Germany) than in collectivist cultures (e.g., Japan, Thailand), where community well-being is often prioritized over personal income status. Critics of the study point out its limitations: it relied on self-reported happiness scores, which may be influenced by temporary mood swings, and it did not account for non-financial factors like health, family relationships, or work-life balance — all of which affect happiness. Dr. Marquez acknowledged these gaps but emphasized the study’s value: “Our findings help clarify when money matters for happiness and when it doesn’t. For policymakers, this means focusing on reducing poverty (to lift people above the threshold) rather than just boosting overall economic growth. For individuals, it’s a reminder that chasing more money beyond a certain point may not lead to greater fulfillment.” 61. What can we learn about the “happiness threshold” from the study? A. It is a fixed figure of $75,000 applicable to all regions. B. Below this threshold, more money has little impact on happiness. C. Above it, more income doesn’t lead to much greater happiness. D. It is determined solely by an individual’s annual absolute income. 62. What does the underlined word “overrides” mean in paragraph 3? A. Weakens the impact of B. Becomes more important than C. Balances the effect of D. Depends entirely on 63. Which of the following is a limitation of the 2025 study? A. It ignored the influence of relative income on happiness. B. It only included participants from individualistic cultures. C. It failed to consider non-financial factors affecting happiness. D. It used an inaccurate 10-point scale to measure happiness. 64. According to the study’s findings on regional and cultural differences, which of the following statements is true? A. The happiness threshold remains consistent worldwide. B. Collectivist cultures show a stronger social comparison effect than individualistic cultures. C. The happiness threshold is higher in high-cost-of-living areas. D. Community well-being in individualistic cultures reduces the impact of relative income on happiness. 65. What does Dr. Marquez suggest policymakers do based on the study’s findings? A. Focus on increasing the overall economic growth rate. B. Set a unified happiness threshold for all regions. C. Prioritize reducing poverty to help people exceed the threshold. D. Encourage people to compare their income with peers less frequently. 【答案】61. C 62. B 63. C 64. C 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项2025年发表的研究，探讨了收入与幸福感的复杂关系，提出了“幸福阈值”的概念，分析了绝对收入、相对收入以及地域文化差异对幸福感的影响，并指出了研究的局限性和政策启示。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000 figure the “happiness threshold” (幸福阈值): beyond this point, more money did not significantly boost happiness.(Marquez博士将75,000美元这个数字称为“幸福阈值”：超过这个点，更多的钱并不能显著提升幸福感)”可知，研究中的“幸福阈值”是指一旦收入超过某个数值(研究中为7.5万美元)，收入的继续增加并不会带来幸福感的显著提升。故选C项。 【62题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““It’s not just how much you have,” Dr. Marquez explained, “but how much you have compared to people around you. This ‘social comparison effect’ often overrides the influence of absolute income once basic needs are met.”(“这不仅仅是你拥有多少，”Marquez博士解释说，“而是与你周围的人相比你拥有多少。一旦基本需求得到满足，这种‘社会比较效应’常常会超越绝对收入的影响。”)” 可知，对于收入超过阈值的人群，相对收入成为关键因素；划线词“overrides”所在的句子在解释这种“社会比较效应”与“绝对收入影响”的关系。根据上下文逻辑，一旦基本需求满足，社会比较变得比绝对收入更重要，因此“overrides”意为“变得比……更重要”或“超越”。故选B项。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Critics of the study point out its limitations: it relied on self-reported happiness scores, which may be influenced by temporary mood swings, and it did not account for non-financial factors like health, family relationships, or work-life balance — all of which affect happiness.(该研究的批评者指出了其局限性：它依赖于自我报告的幸福感分数(这可能受暂时情绪波动的影响)，并且没有考虑健康、家庭关系或工作与生活平衡等非财务因素——所有这些都会影响幸福感)”可知，该研究的局限性之一是未能考虑影响幸福感的非财务因素。故选C项。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In high-cost-of-living regions like New York or Tokyo, the happiness threshold was slightly higher — around 95,000 — due to increased expenses for housing and daily necessities.(在纽约或东京等高生活成本地区，幸福阈值略高——约为95,000美元——这是由于住房和日常必需品支出的增加)”可知，在高生活成本地区，幸福阈值更高。故选C项。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Marquez的话“Our findings help clarify when money matters for happiness and when it doesn’t. For policymakers, this means focusing on reducing poverty (to lift people above the threshold) rather than just boosting overall economic growth.(我们的研究结果有助于澄清金钱何时对幸福感重要，何时不重要。对于政策制定者来说，这意味着应专注于减少贫困(以帮助人们超过阈值)，而不是仅仅促进整体经济增长)”可知，Marquez博士建议政策制定者基于研究发现，应优先考虑减少贫困，帮助人们达到或超过幸福阈值。故选C项。 D As is known to everyone, the options we make have an effect on our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. But on the other hand, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused admission to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be. All these are all from a bad choice! However, your choices affect your future in a way that is a lot more complicated. This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. No matter when you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice. And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation. Some will argue this is not true. After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything? There is some truth in this. We are thrown into life without any say over the matter, and have little control over most of it. However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances. We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up. This ability to choose how we behave and respond is a great gift. It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You can’t entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of. At every moment, then, practise forming your character when you make your choices, no matter how small they are. Remember: your choices form your character. And your character determines your future. 66. What example does the author use to illustrate the impact of bad choices on the future?​ A. A student who fails to get into university due to laziness despite good academic potential.​ B. A person who can’t choose their birthplace and family background.​ C. Someone who gives up easily during hard times.​ D. An individual who is afraid of the unknown future.​ 67. What can we infer from the passage?​ A. We have no control over any aspect of our lives except making choices.​ B. Good character formed by making wise choices gives us confidence in the future.​ C. External factors like birthplace and family background have no impact on our life.​ D. Small choices in daily life don’t matter in shaping our character. 68. In the author’s opinion, what is the most important thing we can control in life?​ A. When and where to be born.​ B. Whether our families will be rich or poor.​ C. How we respond to different circumstances.​ D. Who we will meet in our lives. 69. According to the passage, why are our choices closely related to our future?​ A. Because choices directly decide our social status.​ B. Because choices can influence our character which determines our future.​ C. Because making choices helps us gain more control over external circumstances.​ D. Because every choice we make ensures a successful future. 70. What is the main idea of the passage?​ A. The ways to make good choices in different situations.​ B. The uncontrollable factors existing in our life.​ C. The significant relationship between our choices, character and future.​ D. The importance of having confidence in the future. 【答案】66. A 67. B 68. C 69. B 70. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是人生选择、性格塑造与未来发展的密切关系，强调通过明智的选择培养优秀品格，以增强对未来的信心。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. But on the other hand, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused admission to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be. All these are all from a bad choice!(假设我是一个聪明且成绩优异的学生。但另一方面，由于我过于懒惰，我在考试中表现不佳。我被大学拒绝录取，也找不到一份好工作。我所想象的美好未来将永远无法实现。这一切都源于一个错误的选择！)”可知，作者用“一个尽管有良好的学习潜力但因懒惰而未能考上大学的学生”来说明错误选择对未来的不良影响。故选A。 【67题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, your choices affect your future in a way that is a lot more complicated. This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. No matter when you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice. And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.(然而，你的选择对你的未来所产生的影响要复杂得多。这是因为你所做出的几乎每一个选择都会影响你的性格。你的性格通过你的选择得以展现，同时也由这些选择所塑造。无论何时做出选择，你的性格都会随着选择的变化而改变、成长或者衰退，这取决于你所做出的决定是明智还是愚蠢。你的性格是在你一点一滴的选择中逐渐形成的。因此，你会成为在特定情境下会做出某种特定选择的那种人)”以及倒数第二段“You can’t entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.(你无法完全掌控明天会发生什么。但如果你对自己的性格充满信心，这种自信源自于多年来所做的正确选择，那么你就能够确切地知道关于未来的一件事：无论发生什么，你都会做出一个让自己感到自豪的选择)”可知，通过做出明智选择而形成的良好品质会让我们对未来充满信心。故选B。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances. We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up.(然而，我们确实拥有一定的选择权，并且我们确实能够掌控最重要的事情：我们如何应对各种情况。我们可以选择在艰难时期继续努力奋斗，也可以选择放弃)”可知，在作者看来，在生活中我们能够掌控的最重要的事情是如何应对不同的情况。故选C。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“At every moment, then, practise forming your character when you make your choices, no matter how small they are. Remember: your choices form your character. And your character determines your future.(所以，在每一个时刻，当你做出选择时，都要努力塑造自己的性格，哪怕这些选择看起来微不足道。要记住：你的选择塑造了你的性格。而你的性格决定了你的未来)”可知，我们的选择与我们的未来息息相关是因为选择能够影响我们的性格，而性格决定了我们的未来。故选B。 【70题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“At every moment, then, practise forming your character when you make your choices, no matter how small they are. Remember: your choices form your character. And your character determines your future.(所以，在每一个时刻，当你做出选择时，都要努力塑造自己的性格，哪怕这些选择看起来微不足道。要记住：你的选择塑造了你的性格。而你的性格决定了你的未来)”结合文章指出我们所做的选择可能会以一种复杂的方式影响你的未来，因为你的选择和性格相互影响，最终影响未来。论述了性格和选择之间相互影响相互作用的关系。可知，这篇文章的主要观点是我们的选择、性格与未来之间存在着重要的关联。故选C。 第五部分：阅读表达(每题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Samantha, my childhood playmate living in Florida, had to deal with some complex problems in her life. Her mother recognized the difficulty she was having and understood that things would be much better if I could come and visit and spend a couple of days helping her sort things out. So her mother purchased the tickets for me to fly down and see her. I flew out from Boston in a thunderstorm and it was rainy and thundering most of the way to Charlotte, North Carolina. When I arrived in Charlotte, the flight had been delayed so much that there were no additional flights going out for the rest of the night. I became very grieved and burst into tears. It only took a minute or two before I felt an arm being put around my shoulders from behind. It was a woman that I had flown into Charlotte on the same flight with and she said, “Don’t worry, young girl. You’re with us now.” I cried harder when she said that, because I immediately felt less alone. Deb and Mark were heading to Orlando with their two teenage daughters. We all sat down and started chatting. They treated me immediately as though I was a family member. During the night, I curled up (蜷作一团) with my bag and slept while this family watched over me. In the morning, we were informed that there was a flight to Orlando. That flight had four seats, enough for Deb, Mark, and their daughters. But Deb and Mark declared that they would not be taking that flight to Orlando because I was part of their family for the day, and they weren’t going to leave part of their family behind. We flew into Tampa, on the west coast of Florida, and Deb and Mark rented a car and drove to Orlando. My friend’s mother was waiting for me in Orlando when we arrived. When I left the family, there were tears, a lot of hugs, and promises to stay in touch. This family was an inspiration to me, and they remain so every day. 71.

I became (当我到达Charlotte的时候，航班已经延误了很多，以至于当晚剩下的时间里都没有额外的航班了。我变得)”以及之后“and burst into tears.(并且大哭起来)”可知，因为天气原因我没有赶上既定的航班，并且当晚也没有额外的航班了，由此可推测作者心情一定非常难过，所以划线词的意思为Sad/Upset，故答案为Sad/Upset。 【73题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中“Deb and Mark were heading to Orlando with their two teenage daughters. We all sat down and started chatting. They treated me immediately as though I was a family member. During the night, I curled up (蜷作一团) with my bag and slept while this family watched over me.(Deb和Mark带着两个十几岁的女儿前往奥兰多。我们都坐下来开始聊天。他们立刻把我当作家人对待。晚上，我抱着包蜷缩在床上睡觉，这一家人看着我)”可知，作者感到好多了的原因是因为在机场好心的一家把作者当成家人看待，故答案为A kind family that treated her as a family member。 【74题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段“That flight had four seats, enough for Deb, Mark, and their daughters. But Deb and Mark declared that they would not be taking that flight to Orlando because I was part of their family for the day, and they weren’t going to leave part of their family behind.(那架飞机有四个座位，足够Deb, Mark和他们的女儿坐。但是Deb和Mark宣布他们不会乘坐那趟飞往奥兰多的航班，因为那天我是他们家的一员，他们不会丢下他们家的一员)”可知，这对夫妇放弃飞往目的地航班的原因是因为他们想陪伴作者，故答案为Because they wanted to stay with the author。 【75题详解】 开放性题目。这对夫妇将陌生人视为家人，甚至牺牲行程，体现了关怀与体贴。故答案为：Caring and Considerate.

In 1924, she left her children in Russia and went to Paris for an art job. Little did she know that she would not return until 1965, due to strict rules in place in Russia and the complicated backdrop (背景) of World War I. Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives. A year after her return to Russia, her daughter organized three successful exhibitions to celebrate her work. Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. Following Cassatt’s sister’s diagnosis with a serious kidney disease, Cassatt only painted her extended family in private settings, with women and children as her special focus. Cassatt was hugely successful and her influence continues to be felt today. Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. However, in 1959, she moved to France, where she lived in a house that overlooked a landscape painted by Monet. Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cézanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art. Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996) An Aboriginal elder, Emily Kame Kngwarreye was one of Australia’s most important artists. Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79. Over the following eight years, she produced another 3,000, one of which became the first work by a female Australian artist to sell for over a million dollars. 51. What is a shared characteristic of Zinaida Serebriakova and Joan Mitchell? A. They mixed different painting styles. B. They painted to provide for their families. C. They were forced to leave their home countries. D. They found inspiration in their surroundings. 52. Who was invited to showcase her work at the first Impressionist exhibition? A. Joan Mitchell. B. Mary Cassatt. C. Zinaida Serebriakova. D. Emily Kame Kngwarreye. 53. How was Emily Kame Kngwarreye different from the other painters? A. She did body painting. B. She was highly productive. C. She rose to fame at an early age. D. She primarily painted landscapes. 54. What is the primary purpose of this article? A. To criticize the lack of opportunities for female artists in the past. B. To compare and contrast the artistic styles of the four featured artists. C. To highlight the achievements and contributions of four influential female artists. D. To argue for the importance of international travel for artistic inspiration. 55. This article is most likely to have been published in which type of book? A. Political History B. Contemporary Art C. Medical Advances D. Environmental Conservation B Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide. “Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors. Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do. I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes (坑) on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice. 56. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher? A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. B. Because the writer was insincere. C. Because the student was naughty. D. Because the answer was difficult to understand. 57. What do you think of the writer? A. Stupid. B. Honest. C. Conservative(保守的). D. Polite. 58. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true? A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. B. The writer’s answer made the student confused. C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question. 59. We can infer from the text that _________. A. the writer was also a good teacher in school B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home 60. What’s the main idea of the text? A. A student’s silly question. B. A good teacher who likes students. C. A confused student. D. The reason why I teach. C For decades, social scientists have debated the link between income and happiness. A 2025 cross-country study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology — involving 120,000 participants from 45 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia — offers new insights into this complex relationship, challenging some long-held assumptions. The research team, led by Dr. Elena Marquez from the University of Zurich, first analyzed the connection between “absolute income” (total annual earnings) and self-reported happiness scores (measured on a 10-point scale). They found that for individuals with annual incomes below 75,000, there was a strong positive correlation: each 10,000 increase in income was associated with a 0.8-point rise in happiness. However, above 75,000, the correlation weakened dramatically — an additional 10,000 only led to a 0.1-point increase. Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000 figure the “happiness threshold” (幸福阈值): beyond this point, more money did not significantly boost happiness. What surprised researchers even more was the impact of “relative income” (income compared to peers in the same social group, such as colleagues or neighbors). For participants earning above the 75,000 threshold, relative income became a key factor. Those who earned 20% more than their peers reported happiness scores 1.2 points higher than those who earned 20% less — even if both groups had annual incomes above 100,000. “It’s not just how much you have,” Dr. Marquez explained, “but how much you have compared to people around you. This ‘social comparison effect’ often overrides the influence of absolute income once basic needs are met.” The study also highlighted regional differences. In high-cost-of-living regions like New York or Tokyo, the happiness threshold was slightly higher — around 95,000 — due to increased expenses for housing and daily necessities. In contrast, in areas with lower living costs, such as parts of rural India or Vietnam, the threshold dropped to 50,000. Notably, the social comparison effect was more pronounced in individualistic cultures (e.g., the U.S., Germany) than in collectivist cultures (e.g., Japan, Thailand), where community well-being is often prioritized over personal income status. Critics of the study point out its limitations: it relied on self-reported happiness scores, which may be influenced by temporary mood swings, and it did not account for non-financial factors like health, family relationships, or work-life balance — all of which affect happiness. Dr. Marquez acknowledged these gaps but emphasized the study’s value: “Our findings help clarify when money matters for happiness and when it doesn’t. For policymakers, this means focusing on reducing poverty (to lift people above the threshold) rather than just boosting overall economic growth. For individuals, it’s a reminder that chasing more money beyond a certain point may not lead to greater fulfillment.” 61. What can we learn about the “happiness threshold” from the study? A. It is a fixed figure of $75,000 applicable to all regions. B. Below this threshold, more money has little impact on happiness. C. Above it, more income doesn’t lead to much greater happiness. D. It is determined solely by an individual’s annual absolute income. 62. What does the underlined word “overrides” mean in paragraph 3? A. Weakens the impact of B. Becomes more important than C. Balances the effect of D. Depends entirely on 63. Which of the following is a limitation of the 2025 study? A. It ignored the influence of relative income on happiness. B. It only included participants from individualistic cultures. C. It failed to consider non-financial factors affecting happiness. D. It used an inaccurate 10-point scale to measure happiness. 64. According to the study’s findings on regional and cultural differences, which of the following statements is true? A. The happiness threshold remains consistent worldwide. B. Collectivist cultures show a stronger social comparison effect than individualistic cultures. C. The happiness threshold is higher in high-cost-of-living areas. D. Community well-being in individualistic cultures reduces the impact of relative income on happiness. 65. What does Dr. Marquez suggest policymakers do based on the study’s findings? A. Focus on increasing the overall economic growth rate. B. Set a unified happiness threshold for all regions. C. Prioritize reducing poverty to help people exceed the threshold. D. Encourage people to compare their income with peers less frequently. D As is known to everyone, the options we make have an effect on our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. But on the other hand, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused admission to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future I had imagined will never be. All these are all from a bad choice! However, your choices affect your future in a way that is a lot more complicated. This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character. Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. No matter when you make a choice, your character changes or grows, or diminishes depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice. And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation. Some will argue this is not true. After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything? There is some truth in this. We are thrown into life without any say over the matter, and have little control over most of it. However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances. We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up. This ability to choose how we behave and respond is a great gift. It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You can’t entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, formed by years of making good choices, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of. At every moment, then, practise forming your character when you make your choices, no matter how small they are. Remember: your choices form your character. And your character determines your future. 66. What example does the author use to illustrate the impact of bad choices on the future?​ A. A student who fails to get into university due to laziness despite good academic potential.​ B. A person who can’t choose their birthplace and family background.​ C. Someone who gives up easily during hard times.​ D. An individual who is afraid of the unknown future.​ 67. What can we infer from the passage?​ A. We have no control over any aspect of our lives except making choices.​ B. Good character formed by making wise choices gives us confidence in the future.​ C. External factors like birthplace and family background have no impact on our life.​ D. Small choices in daily life don’t matter in shaping our character. 68. In the author’s opinion, what is the most important thing we can control in life?​ A. When and where to be born.​ B. Whether our families will be rich or poor.​ C. How we respond to different circumstances.​ D. Who we will meet in our lives. 69. According to the passage, why are our choices closely related to our future?​ A. Because choices directly decide our social status.​ B. Because choices can influence our character which determines our future.​ C. Because making choices helps us gain more control over external circumstances.​ D. Because every choice we make ensures a successful future. 70. What is the main idea of the passage?​ A. The ways to make good choices in different situations.​ B. The uncontrollable factors existing in our life.​ C. The significant relationship between our choices, character and future.​ D. The importance of having confidence in the future. 第五部分：阅读表达(每题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Samantha, my childhood playmate living in Florida, had to deal with some complex problems in her life. Her mother recognized the difficulty she was having and understood that things would be much better if I could come and visit and spend a couple of days helping her sort things out. So her mother purchased the tickets for me to fly down and see her. I flew out from Boston in a thunderstorm and it was rainy and thundering most of the way to Charlotte, North Carolina. When I arrived in Charlotte, the flight had been delayed so much that there were no additional flights going out for the rest of the night. I became very grieved and burst into tears. It only took a minute or two before I felt an arm being put around my shoulders from behind. It was a woman that I had flown into Charlotte on the same flight with and she said, “Don’t worry, young girl. You’re with us now.” I cried harder when she said that, because I immediately felt less alone. Deb and Mark were heading to Orlando with their two teenage daughters. We all sat down and started chatting. They treated me immediately as though I was a family member. During the night, I curled up (蜷作一团) with my bag and slept while this family watched over me. In the morning, we were informed that there was a flight to Orlando. That flight had four seats, enough for Deb, Mark, and their daughters. But Deb and Mark declared that they would not be taking that flight to Orlando because I was part of their family for the day, and they weren’t going to leave part of their family behind. We flew into Tampa, on the west coast of Florida, and Deb and Mark rented a car and drove to Orlando. My friend’s mother was waiting for me in Orlando when we arrived. When I left the family, there were tears, a lot of hugs, and promises to stay in touch. This family was an inspiration to me, and they remain so every day. 71.
