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.
