The weekday session in August is in the morning. B Many students at college, including myself, arrive with a very distinct image of who and what we are going to be after graduation. Personally, I had my next ten years planned out before even starting my freshman year. My parents work in pharmaceuticals (制药业), so I knew about the career prospects. I had taken many scientific elective courses in high school and excelled in AP Chemistry, so I thought this degree would be something I could do well in and love for the next four years and afterwards in a career. In the fall of my freshman year, I signed up for a chemistry, a calculus, and an English class. I always enjoyed reading, so I thought the English course would be a fun addition and a possible minor to add to my studies. During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but I felt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn’t connect with me. The one thing that made me actually enjoy my first semester was my English course. I felt tired, just thinking about more chemistry classes the next semester. I thought that higher-level chemistry courses might be more interesting because they would become more specialized, but I continually found myself disinterested in the content of the courses. By this time, I had added my English minor, and the things I had learned in my minor were so much more exciting to me. I went with the flow until my sophomore year. I called my parents in tears. I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully they were the exact opposite.My parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in continuing into a major. After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. I switched to an English major. I felt like the biggest weight was lifted from my shoulders. Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. There have been so many opportunities that would not have happened if it hadn’t been for switching my major and career path. 24. What was the author’s main struggle as a freshman? A. Pressure for perfect grades. B. Uncertainty about future plans. C. Fear of disappointing her parents. D. Loss of passion for her planned major. 25. How did the author’s parents react to her quitting chemistry? A. Supportive of her pursuit. B. Relieved at her decision. C. Annoyed by her attempt. D. Concerned about her future. 26. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Purposeful and focused. B. Courageous and growth-minded. C. Persistent and confident. D. Disciplined and self-aware. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Curiosity keeps the mind young. C. The wise man is always a learner. D. The heart sees what the eyes cannot. C Imagine you’re in line at your favourite bakery, deciding whether to have a doughnut or a tart. You weigh them up, the doughnut wins, and you settle on that. By the time you’re at the front of the line, however, only tarts are left. So, you buy one. These two decisions feel completely different. One is a free decision that involves consideration based on your personal preferences, while the other is a forced decision that involves simply recognizing and picking the only available option. Neuroscientists have long assumed free decisions rely on different processes in the brain compared to forced decisions. But our latest research shows our brains actually make these decisions in surprisingly similar ways. Decades of research have shown that, to make decisions, our brains gradually gather evidence for each option over time. By measuring electrical brain activity, researchers have identified a brain signal that reflects this accumulation of evidence during simple decisions. Like a loading bar building to 100%, the signal gradually rises to a particular level before a decision is made. Rather than climbing steadily towards one option, the signal fluctuates back and forth between the alternatives. This partly explains why we aren’t always consistent with our choices, even when our preferences are stable. This signal has been identified for forced decisions. But what about open-ended choices? To answer this question, we recorded people’s brain activity while they chose between sets of coloured balloons. They viewed either two balloons of different colours to freely choose between, or a single balloon they were forced to pick. For both free and forced decisions, the brain activity unfolded in a strikingly similar way. The signal rose steadily to the same peak level before a choice was made, climbing faster for quick choices and slower for longer ones. One might assume the brain forms free and forced decisions similarly, suggesting decision-making may be more automatic than it feels. This echoes Benjamin Libet’s experiments in the 1980s, which show brain activity begins ramping up before people are even consciously aware of their intention to act. But while the process may be automatic, what the brain is accumulating tells a different story. The evidence it weighs up is drawn entirely from who you are — your preferences, your goals, your experiences. Two people may go through the same neural process and land on the same choice, and yet arrive there for completely different reasons. So rather than asking whether our choices are truly free, perhaps the better question is what it really means for a choice to be yours. And the next time you find yourself in line at the bakery, know that your brain has already been quietly gathering evidence toward your baked good of choice, and that choice happens a little faster than you realise. 28. Why does the author mention “a loading bar” in Paragraph 3? A. To explain why choices are inconsistent. B. To prove the required level for decisions. C. To highlight the speed of decision-making. D. To illustrate how evidence is gradually built. 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. Stable preferences reduce choice changes. B. Personal identity helps make your choices. C. The brain reacts to a decision at the last moment. D. Free and forced decisions vary in brain processes. 30. What is the logical chain of this passage? A. Problem Theory Test Solution B. Phenomenon Cause Theory Outcome C. Background Review Research Suggestion D. Situation Assumption Experiment Conclusion D When was the last time you raced against an unforgiving clock? Perhaps you skipped breakfast, shelled out for a taxi or missed time with your family. Many of us have become slaves to time, with huge portions of our day spent chasing appointments and deadlines. But what is this thing we’re trying to beat? We tend to imagine time as constant and non-negotiable, ticking by somewhere out in the world, impossible to slow or stop. Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such “clock time” isn’t a physical phenomenon. It’s a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own. As with other key innovations, such as money, we can no longer get by without it. But disproving the myth of the clock can help us to focus on how life really progresses. Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. This has a big impact on quality of life: people experiencing time famine are less likely to do things they enjoy, or help each other. Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. Take Lara, who suffers from a condition called motion blindness. When she pours tea, the liquid appears as a frozen column in the air, before suddenly overflowing the cup. Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time. Because even scientists don’t find any moving river of time: most believe there’s no physical flow of events beyond our perception, no moment of “happening” or “becoming” in which the future slips into the past. Time, then, is less a universal truth than a feature of how we interact with the world. What we’re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is “lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change. This gives us a different way of thinking about how our lives progress, probably releasing us from the constant beat of the clock. Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. Instead of something we chase and never catch, it’s a flow that connects us with each other. 31. Which situation best illustrates “time famine”? A. A busy mother has no time to help her neighbors. B. An artist spends hours painting without noticing time. C. A manager who plans every minute always feels behind. D. A professional with a packed schedule feels productive. 32. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 4? A. Challenge a theory. B. Reshape a perspective. C. Present an assumption. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 33. What can be inferred about “lived time” from the passage? A. It unfolds through experience not calculation. B. It replaces clock time in our daily schedules. C. More time measurement enriches lived time. D. It is too flexible to be planned or structured. 34. What does the author intend to tell us about time? A. How fast time flows depends on emotion. B. Time is a universal truth independent of us. C. Time demands engagement over obedience. D. Working more efficiently solves time famine. 第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2 分，共 10 分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’ve heard of coping ahead? It is often helpful to plan, think through possible problems, and determine ahead of time what will be useful for you in an anticipated difficult situation. What may be easier, more automatic, and far less helpful than coping ahead is “dreading ahead. Dreading ahead is when you continue to think about and worry about an upcoming event. ____35____ To be sure, this is different from planning and preparing. When you dread, you think about the upcoming event. You worry. You find it distracting. You may have physiological symptoms. What you don’t do is plan, prepare, and get on with your life. ____36____ In fact, it is easy to feel like you are putting a lot of effort into it without actually putting yourself in a better position. That is dreading ahead. That all probably makes sense but the challenge is changing that behavior. ____37____ As you are thinking about the future with that worried feeling, check in with yourself. Are you planning? Are you taking steps to make it better? Those are useful actions. Or are you worrying? Are you avoiding? Are you dwelling? ____38____ Self-acceptance is important. Allow that the thing coming up is not something to look forward to. And then notice when you are stuck in a place of dwelling. That place of dwelling can lead to feeling worse and set you up poorly for what you need to manage. Think about whether there is important planning and preparation to do. If not, focus on mindfulness. Come back to the present moment, rather than remaining in that place of dread. That is not an easy thing to do. Do not expect that it will be easy to shift from worrying and dreading to being in the present moment. ____39____ It is a set of skills worth developing and they can be developed. As you are doing that, remember: Don’t dread ahead! A. You might as well put yourself in the best possible position. B. You likely recognize that you have engaged in anticipatory dread. C. If you are doing the latter. recognize that it is OK to feel your feelings. D. First of all, you have to recognize that dreading ahead is what you are doing. E. So, much emotional energy goes into the concern with little productive happening. F. View this as a practice involving awareness, anxiety tolerance, and the ability to shift. G. It is when the time from now until what is expected is filled with concern and distraction. 第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32 分) 第一节 (共 4 小题: 第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分，共 12 分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In the remote wilderness of Colorado, stories of a mysterious barking dog had been circulating for weeks. Many suspected that it must be some wild animal. But for Trinity Smith, a dedicated animal lover, there was no doubt in her mind that the cries belonged to a dog who was in desperate need of help. For Trinity, hearing about a potential animal in danger was not something she could ignore. Determined, she set out on a clear September morning with a backpack full of supplies. As Trinity climbed the mountain, she kept her ears alert, listening carefully to the sound that had been described in the stories. The barking came in intermittent bursts. Yet even as she identified the direction, the landscape made it almost impossible to determine the exact location. Rocks jutted out at odd angles, and steep cliffs created echoes that confused the ear. By evening, Trinity realized that she would have to return before darkness fell, as hiking the mountain in low light was risky. The next morning Trinity sought the help of her friend Sean Nichols, another animal enthusiast familiar with the Colorado wilderness. Together, they mapped out a plan: they would split the search area, moving carefully through the rocky landscape while calling out to the dog. Their voices carried across the mountain, “Here, pup! We’re here to help!” They shouted for hours, breaking every few minutes to listen for any response. The hours passed slowly. Just as they were beginning to worry that their efforts would be fruitless, a familiar bark echoed from the distance. Both Trinity and Sean froze, listening attentively. The dog barked again, this time closer, and they were able to trace the direction with much more certainty. Following the sound, they picked their way. Soon, they found her. She wagged her tail weakly and looked at her rescuers with trust and gratitude. The dog was Chloe, a 14-year-old who had gone missing six weeks earlier during a walk with her owners. But she’s now home and recovering from the frightening experience. 40. Why did Trinity decide to search for the dog? ________________________________________________ 41. For what reason did Trinity stop her search before nightfall of the first day? ________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. On the second day, Trinity and Sean split the search area and called out to the dog, breaking every few minutes to listen for its response to ensure it was still alive. ________________________________________________ 43. Make a comment on Trinity’s strategies in rescue operation.

Personally, I had my next ten years planned out before even starting my freshman year. My parents work in pharmaceuticals (制药业), so I knew about the career prospects. I had taken many scientific elective courses in high school and excelled in AP Chemistry, so I thought this degree would be something I could do well in and love for the next four years and afterwards in a career. In the fall of my freshman year, I signed up for a chemistry, a calculus, and an English class. I always enjoyed reading, so I thought the English course would be a fun addition and a possible minor to add to my studies. During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but I felt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn’t connect with me. The one thing that made me actually enjoy my first semester was my English course. I felt tired, just thinking about more chemistry classes the next semester. I thought that higher-level chemistry courses might be more interesting because they would become more specialized, but I continually found myself disinterested in the content of the courses. By this time, I had added my English minor, and the things I had learned in my minor were so much more exciting to me. I went with the flow until my sophomore year. I called my parents in tears. I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully they were the exact opposite.My parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in continuing into a major. After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. I switched to an English major. I felt like the biggest weight was lifted from my shoulders. Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. There have been so many opportunities that would not have happened if it hadn’t been for switching my major and career path. 24. What was the author’s main struggle as a freshman? A. Pressure for perfect grades. B. Uncertainty about future plans. C. Fear of disappointing her parents. D. Loss of passion for her planned major. 25. How did the author’s parents react to her quitting chemistry? A. Supportive of her pursuit. B. Relieved at her decision. C. Annoyed by her attempt. D. Concerned about her future. 26. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Purposeful and focused. B. Courageous and growth-minded. C. Persistent and confident. D. Disciplined and self-aware. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Curiosity keeps the mind young. C. The wise man is always a learner. D. The heart sees what the eyes cannot. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述的是作者从最初计划学习化学专业，到发现自己真正热爱英语，最终勇敢转专业的成长经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but I felt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn’t connect with me. (那个学期，我所有课程都表现不错，但我感觉自己讨厌科学和数学课。我在高中时一直喜欢数学和科学，但大学的课程就是无法引起我的共鸣。)”可知，作者作为大一新生时的主要困扰是对原本计划的专业失去了热情。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully they were the exact opposite. My parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in continuing into a major. (我完全准备好让他们失望并告诉我坚持下去；谢天谢地他们恰恰相反。我父母知道我喜欢英语辅修，问我是否有兴趣继续攻读专业。)”可知，父母对她的追求表示支持。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I called my parents in tears. I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! (我哭着给父母打电话。我再也忍不住了：我不想学化学了！)”以及“After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. I switched to an English major. (和父母以及指导老师交谈过后，我鼓起勇气，转到了英语专业。)”和最后一段“I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. (我发现了自己新获得的热爱和能力。)”可知，作者勇于面对内心真实想法并做出改变，具有勇气；同时从这次经历中成长，发现了新的自我，体现了成长型思维。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第五段“I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! (我再也忍不住了：我不想学化学了！)”以及最后一段“Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. (现在，我对转专业这件事感到无比开心。)”可知，作者遵从内心、跟随心声做出了选择，对应谚语The heart sees what the eyes cannot. (内心能看见眼睛看不见的东西)。 C Imagine you’re in line at your favourite bakery, deciding whether to have a doughnut or a tart. You weigh them up, the doughnut wins, and you settle on that. By the time you’re at the front of the line, however, only tarts are left. So, you buy one. These two decisions feel completely different. One is a free decision that involves consideration based on your personal preferences, while the other is a forced decision that involves simply recognizing and picking the only available option. Neuroscientists have long assumed free decisions rely on different processes in the brain compared to forced decisions. But our latest research shows our brains actually make these decisions in surprisingly similar ways. Decades of research have shown that, to make decisions, our brains gradually gather evidence for each option over time. By measuring electrical brain activity, researchers have identified a brain signal that reflects this accumulation of evidence during simple decisions. Like a loading bar building to 100%, the signal gradually rises to a particular level before a decision is made. Rather than climbing steadily towards one option, the signal fluctuates back and forth between the alternatives. This partly explains why we aren’t always consistent with our choices, even when our preferences are stable. This signal has been identified for forced decisions. But what about open-ended choices? To answer this question, we recorded people’s brain activity while they chose between sets of coloured balloons. They viewed either two balloons of different colours to freely choose between, or a single balloon they were forced to pick. For both free and forced decisions, the brain activity unfolded in a strikingly similar way. The signal rose steadily to the same peak level before a choice was made, climbing faster for quick choices and slower for longer ones. One might assume the brain forms free and forced decisions similarly, suggesting decision-making may be more automatic than it feels. This echoes Benjamin Libet’s experiments in the 1980s, which show brain activity begins ramping up before people are even consciously aware of their intention to act. But while the process may be automatic, what the brain is accumulating tells a different story. The evidence it weighs up is drawn entirely from who you are — your preferences, your goals, your experiences. Two people may go through the same neural process and land on the same choice, and yet arrive there for completely different reasons. So rather than asking whether our choices are truly free, perhaps the better question is what it really means for a choice to be yours. And the next time you find yourself in line at the bakery, know that your brain has already been quietly gathering evidence toward your baked good of choice, and that choice happens a little faster than you realise. 28. Why does the author mention “a loading bar” in Paragraph 3? A. To explain why choices are inconsistent. B. To prove the required level for decisions. C. To highlight the speed of decision-making. D. To illustrate how evidence is gradually built. 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. Stable preferences reduce choice changes. B. Personal identity helps make your choices. C. The brain reacts to a decision at the last moment. D. Free and forced decisions vary in brain processes. 30. What is the logical chain of this passage? A. Problem Theory Test Solution B. Phenomenon Cause Theory Outcome C. Background Review Research Suggestion D. Situation Assumption Experiment Conclusion 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是神经科学领域关于自由决策与被迫决策的最新研究发现，揭示了大脑处理这两种决策方式的相似性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Like a loading bar building to 100%, the signal gradually rises to a particular level before a decision is made. (就像一个加载条逐渐达到100%，这个信号在做决定之前逐渐上升到某个特定水平。)”可知，作者提到“加载条”是为了形象地说明大脑在做决策时是如何逐步积累证据的。加载条从0%到100%的过程，正好类比了大脑信号逐渐累积证据直至达到决策阈值的过程。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The evidence it weighs up is drawn entirely from who you are—your preferences, your goals, your experiences. (大脑权衡的证据完全来自于你是谁——你的偏好、你的目标、你的经历。)”可知，个人身份特征（偏好、目标、经历）帮助做出属于你的选择。虽然决策过程可能是自动的，但积累的内容是个人化的，这正是“你的选择”的含义。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文结构分析：第一，二两段以面包店排队选择的情境引入（Situation）；第三段提出神经科学家长期以来的假设——自由决策与被迫决策依赖不同的大脑过程（Assumption）；第四，五两段介绍通过彩色气球实验验证这一假设的研究过程（Experiment）；第六段得出结论，提出“什么是属于你的选择”这一更深层问题（Conclusion）。因此文章逻辑链为：情境→假设→实验→结论。 D When was the last time you raced against an unforgiving clock? Perhaps you skipped breakfast, shelled out for a taxi or missed time with your family. Many of us have become slaves to time, with huge portions of our day spent chasing appointments and deadlines. But what is this thing we’re trying to beat? We tend to imagine time as constant and non-negotiable, ticking by somewhere out in the world, impossible to slow or stop. Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such “clock time” isn’t a physical phenomenon. It’s a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own. As with other key innovations, such as money, we can no longer get by without it. But disproving the myth of the clock can help us to focus on how life really progresses. Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. This has a big impact on quality of life: people experiencing time famine are less likely to do things they enjoy, or help each other. Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. Take Lara, who suffers from a condition called motion blindness. When she pours tea, the liquid appears as a frozen column in the air, before suddenly overflowing the cup. Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time. Because even scientists don’t find any moving river of time: most believe there’s no physical flow of events beyond our perception, no moment of “happening” or “becoming” in which the future slips into the past. Time, then, is less a universal truth than a feature of how we interact with the world. What we’re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is “lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change. This gives us a different way of thinking about how our lives progress, probably releasing us from the constant beat of the clock. Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. Instead of something we chase and never catch, it’s a flow that connects us with each other. 31. Which situation best illustrates “time famine”? A. A busy mother has no time to help her neighbors. B. An artist spends hours painting without noticing time. C. A manager who plans every minute always feels behind. D. A professional with a packed schedule feels productive. 32. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 4? A. Challenge a theory. B. Reshape a perspective. C. Present an assumption. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 33. What can be inferred about “lived time” from the passage? A. It unfolds through experience not calculation. B. It replaces clock time in our daily schedules. C. More time measurement enriches lived time. D. It is too flexible to be planned or structured. 34. What does the author intend to tell us about time? A. How fast time flows depends on emotion. B. Time is a universal truth independent of us. C. Time demands engagement over obedience. D. Working more efficiently solves time famine. 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. A 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨的是时间的本质，区分了“钟表时间”与“生活时间”的概念，并呼吁人们摆脱对钟表时间的盲目服从。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. (心理学家发现了“时间饥荒”的兴起：我们越是试图高效和富有成效，越是精确地测量时间，越是试图把更多事情塞进繁忙的日程，我们实际感受到的时间就越少。)”可知，一位经理精确规划每一分钟却总是感到落后，最能体现“时间饥荒”——越是精确管理时间，越感到时间不够用。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。第四段“Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. (时间在其他方面也很令人困惑。我们没有感知时间的感官器官，也没有专门追踪时间的大脑区域。我们对时间的体验可能差异巨大：无聊时分钟拖沓；兴奋时小时飞逝。在某些情况下，我们的时间感甚至会循环、破碎或完全停止。)”以及随后以Lara为例说明运动盲症患者的异常时间感知可知，本段主要分析时间感知这一现象的多种表现，最后作者指出“Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time.(这些影响不仅仅是错误，而是反映了更深层次的东西：我们在创造自己的时间中所扮演的角色。)”，由此可推出，作者通过举例推翻了大众原本认为“时间客观恒定”的固有看法，重塑了人们对时间本质的认知。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. (生活时间与钟表时间不同，因为它不是由将时刻切割成秒的数字计数器定义的。它是一个创造性的过程，不仅对我们的时间感至关重要，对我们是谁也至关重要。)”可知，生活时间是通过体验展开而非计算定义的。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. (要应对时间饥荒，提醒自己钟表是工具，不是主人。与钟表时间相反，生活时间随着我们越专注于当下而越扩展、越丰富。)”可知，作者认为时间需要的是投入和参与，而非盲目服从。 第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2 分，共 10 分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’ve heard of coping ahead? It is often helpful to plan, think through possible problems, and determine ahead of time what will be useful for you in an anticipated difficult situation. What may be easier, more automatic, and far less helpful than coping ahead is “dreading ahead. Dreading ahead is when you continue to think about and worry about an upcoming event. ____35____ To be sure, this is different from planning and preparing. When you dread, you think about the upcoming event. You worry. You find it distracting. You may have physiological symptoms. What you don’t do is plan, prepare, and get on with your life. ____36____ In fact, it is easy to feel like you are putting a lot of effort into it without actually putting yourself in a better position. That is dreading ahead. That all probably makes sense but the challenge is changing that behavior. ____37____ As you are thinking about the future with that worried feeling, check in with yourself. Are you planning? Are you taking steps to make it better? Those are useful actions. Or are you worrying? Are you avoiding? Are you dwelling? ____38____ Self-acceptance is important. Allow that the thing coming up is not something to look forward to. And then notice when you are stuck in a place of dwelling. That place of dwelling can lead to feeling worse and set you up poorly for what you need to manage. Think about whether there is important planning and preparation to do. If not, focus on mindfulness. Come back to the present moment, rather than remaining in that place of dread. That is not an easy thing to do. Do not expect that it will be easy to shift from worrying and dreading to being in the present moment. ____39____ It is a set of skills worth developing and they can be developed. As you are doing that, remember: Don’t dread ahead! A. You might as well put yourself in the best possible position. B. You likely recognize that you have engaged in anticipatory dread. C. If you are doing the latter. recognize that it is OK to feel your feelings. D. First of all, you have to recognize that dreading ahead is what you are doing. E. So, much emotional energy goes into the concern with little productive happening. F. View this as a practice involving awareness, anxiety tolerance, and the ability to shift. G. It is when the time from now until what is expected is filled with concern and distraction. 【答案】35. G 36. E 37. D 38. C 39. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了提前焦虑的概念、危害，并给出了如何从过度担忧转向理性应对的具体方法。 【35题详解】 由上文“Dreading ahead is when you continue to think about and worry about an upcoming event. (提前焦虑就是你不断思考和担忧即将发生的事)”可知，本空是对“提前焦虑”进一步解释。G选项“It is when the time from now until what is expected is filled with concern and distraction. (它是指从现在到预期事件之间的这段时间充满了忧虑和分心。)”是对前一句的同义展开，符合语境。 【36题详解】 由上文“What you don’t do is plan, prepare, and get on with your life. (你所做的并不是规划、准备并继续生活)”以及下文“In fact, it is easy to feel like you are putting a lot of effort into it without actually putting yourself in a better position. (事实上，你很容易觉得自己付出了很多努力，却并没有让自己处于更好的状态)”可知，本空要说明这种担忧消耗情绪却没有成效。E选项“So, much emotional energy goes into the concern with little productive happening. (因此，大量情感精力投入到担忧中，却几乎没有产生有效结果)”承上启下，符合逻辑。 【37题详解】 由上文“That all probably makes sense but the challenge is changing that behavior. (这些都说的通，但挑战在于改变这种行为)”以及下文“As you are thinking about the future with that worried feeling, check in with yourself. (当你带着焦虑思考未来时，审视一下自己)”可知，改变的第一步是先意识到自己在提前焦虑。D选项“First of all, you have to recognize that dreading ahead is what you are doing. (首先，你必须意识到你正在进行提前焦虑)”引出具体做法，符合语境。 【38题详解】 由上文连续提问“Are you planning? Are you taking steps to make it better? Those are useful actions. Or are you worrying? Are you avoiding? Are you dwelling? (你是在做规划吗？你是在采取行动让事情变好吗？这些才是有用的做法。还是说，你只是在焦虑、在逃避、在内耗？)”以及下文“Self-acceptance is important. (自我接纳很重要)”可知，此处对应后一种情况。C选项“If you are doing the latter, recognize that it is OK to feel your feelings. (如果你属于后者，要承认你的感受是正常的)”符合语境，且“recognize that it is OK to feel your feelings”与下文self-acceptance高度呼应。 【39题详解】 由上文“Do not expect that it will be easy to shift from worrying and dreading to being in the present moment. (不要指望能轻易从担忧焦虑转向活在当下)”以及下文“It is a set of skills worth developing and they can be developed. (这是一套值得培养的技能，并且是可以培养的)”可知，本空给出正确心态。F选项“View this as a practice involving awareness, anxiety tolerance, and the ability to shift. (把这看作一种需要觉察、接纳焦虑和转换能力的练习)”衔接自然，点明这是可训练的能力。 第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32 分) 第一节 (共 4 小题: 第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分，共 12 分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In the remote wilderness of Colorado, stories of a mysterious barking dog had been circulating for weeks. Many suspected that it must be some wild animal. But for Trinity Smith, a dedicated animal lover, there was no doubt in her mind that the cries belonged to a dog who was in desperate need of help. For Trinity, hearing about a potential animal in danger was not something she could ignore. Determined, she set out on a clear September morning with a backpack full of supplies. As Trinity climbed the mountain, she kept her ears alert, listening carefully to the sound that had been described in the stories. The barking came in intermittent bursts. Yet even as she identified the direction, the landscape made it almost impossible to determine the exact location. Rocks jutted out at odd angles, and steep cliffs created echoes that confused the ear. By evening, Trinity realized that she would have to return before darkness fell, as hiking the mountain in low light was risky. The next morning Trinity sought the help of her friend Sean Nichols, another animal enthusiast familiar with the Colorado wilderness. Together, they mapped out a plan: they would split the search area, moving carefully through the rocky landscape while calling out to the dog. Their voices carried across the mountain, “Here, pup! We’re here to help!” They shouted for hours, breaking every few minutes to listen for any response. The hours passed slowly. Just as they were beginning to worry that their efforts would be fruitless, a familiar bark echoed from the distance. Both Trinity and Sean froze, listening attentively. The dog barked again, this time closer, and they were able to trace the direction with much more certainty. Following the sound, they picked their way. Soon, they found her. She wagged her tail weakly and looked at her rescuers with trust and gratitude. The dog was Chloe, a 14-year-old who had gone missing six weeks earlier during a walk with her owners. But she’s now home and recovering from the frightening experience. 40. Why did Trinity decide to search for the dog? ________________________________________________ 41. For what reason did Trinity stop her search before nightfall of the first day? ________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. On the second day, Trinity and Sean split the search area and called out to the dog, breaking every few minutes to listen for its response to ensure it was still alive. ________________________________________________ 43. Make a comment on Trinity’s strategies in rescue operation. (In about 40 words) ________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Because she is a dedicated animal lover. 41. Hiking the mountain in low light was risky. 42. On the second day, Trinity and Sean split the search area and called out to the dog, breaking every few minutes to listen for its response to ensure it was still alive.
