D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了一个女孩通过父亲留下的尤克里里和音乐，感受到与父亲及夏威夷文化的紧密联系的故事。 【1题详解】 考查动词。句意：我看着他弹奏的尤克里里被遗弃了。A. polished擦亮；B. abandoned遗弃；C. repaired修理；D. sold卖。根据后文“The musical instrument sat there lifelessly.”可知，父亲离开后乐器无人问津，如同被遗弃。 【2题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，音乐是将我父亲与夏威夷联系在一起的东西，是他家乡和文化的提醒。A. music音乐；B. time时间；C. duty职责；D. poetry诗歌。根据前文“The ukulele I had watched him play”和后文“through his music”可知，音乐是父亲与家乡的连接，故选A。 【3题详解】 考查名词。句意同上。A. wish希望；B. note便条；C. reminder提醒；D. change改变。根据前文“was the thing that connected my father with Hawaii”和后文“of his home and culture”可知，音乐让父亲想起家乡和文化，起到提醒作用。 【4题详解】 考查副词。句意：我们主要通过他的音乐了解我们的祖先和家庭传统。A. finally最后；B. mostly主要地；C. closely紧密地；D. secretly秘密地。根据前文“Still, ____ was the thing that connected my father with Hawaii, a ____ of his home and culture.”和后文“through his music”可知，父亲的音乐是了解家族文化的主要途径。 【5题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我们刚到，但他已经准备好再次离开，这次没有我们。A. disappointed失望的；B. excited兴奋的；C. frightened害怕的；D. prepared准备好的。根据前文“My father, a soldier, was deployed (调度) again.”可知，父亲是军人、再次被调度可知，他已准备好离开。 【6题详解】 考查名词。句意：我们在家里像外来者。A. foreigners外国人，外来者；B. visitors访问者；C. relatives亲戚；D. customers顾客。根据前文“Suddenly, we were surrounded by strange relatives and a cultural tradition of which we only knew the surface.”可知，身处陌生亲戚中、不了解文化，感觉像外人。 【7题详解】 考查动词。句意：就在那时，我注意到了父亲的尤克里里。A. needed需要；B. noticed注意到；C. received收到；D. recognized认出。根据前文“The person who made us fit, our father, was gone.”和后文“my father’s ukulele”可知，内心孤独时，目光落在闲置的尤克里里上。 【8题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我拨动琴弦时，我感到与他和我们的夏威夷根源更亲近了。A. stranger更陌生的；B. superior更优越的；C. closer更亲近的；D. warmer更温暖的。根据前文“As I plucked (弹拨) the strings tunelessly”和后文“to him and our Hawaiian roots”可知，弹奏父亲的乐器，拉近了与父亲及文化的距离。 【9题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：于是我拿起一本旧歌谱，自学弹奏。A. picked up拿起；B. looked through浏览；C. gave back归还；D. threw away扔掉。根据后文“an old song book and taught myself to play.

Analysts expect the market’s value to top 749 billion yuan by 2026. 【答案】14. dismissed 15. ballooned 16. what 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了中国预制菜市场的崛起及其发展前景。 【14题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：曾经被认为是一种小众的便利食品，现在从半成品的炒菜到只需加热的熟食应有尽有。此处应为非谓语动词作状语，be dismissed as“被认为”，dismiss与其逻辑主语they之间为被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式作状语。 【15题详解】 考查时态。句意：在过去的几年里，由于生活节奏的加快、加工技术的进步以及官方支持，这一类别已经膨胀成为一个价值数十亿元的产业，将最初的一种消费趋势转变为战略重点。根据时间状语“In the past few years”可知，句子应使用现在完成时，主语the category为第三人称单数，助动词用has，balloon“膨胀”的过去分词为ballooned。 【16题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：在过去的几年里，由于生活节奏的加快、加工技术的进步以及官方支持，这一类别已经膨胀成为一个价值数十亿元的产业，将最初的一种消费趋势转变为战略重点。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“……的事物”，所以使用连接代词what引导宾语从句。 C 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，请在答题卡指定区域作答。 During the Spring Festival Gala, MagicLab showcased its MagicBot Gen1 and MagicBot Z1 robots.

She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad-tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes a Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 24. The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ________. A. honor their good behavior in class B. pass on the act of acknowledgment C. show her appreciation for their help D. prepare for the graduation ceremony 25. On hearing his father’s words, the boy felt ________.

A. teachers have great influences on students B. it is important to express gratitude to others C. everyone needs to be recognized and appreciated D. parents should pay more attention to their children 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了纽约一位老师通过蓝丝带活动让学生传递认可与感激，最终改善了父子关系的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition ceremony. (随后，老师又给了每个学生三条丝带，并指示他们传播这个认可仪式。)”可知，老师给学生额外的丝带是为了传递认可行为。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. (这个惊讶的男孩开始不停地抽泣，无法停止哭泣。)”以及男孩的回应“Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. (谢谢你，爸爸。这条蓝丝带对我来说比什么都重要。)”可知，男孩因长期未被父亲关注而感到不安，此刻通过父亲的话得到了释放。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。文章通过老师发起蓝丝带活动→学生传递认可→主管认可老板→老板认可儿子的链条，最终揭示“每个人都需要被认可和欣赏”的核心主题。 C Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioural types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes) “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems.” said Dr Bressel. This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioural profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes. Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviours. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, information alone isn’t enough. “Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.” 27. What was the main purpose of the online learning game? A. To test participants’ ability to follow instructions. B. To compare different reward systems across cultures. C. To examine how people link actions with consequences. D. To measure participants’ motivation to avoid punishment. 28. What can be inferred about “Compulsives”? A. They lack awareness of their mistakes. B. They are unable to explain their behaviour. C. They are less affected by external feedback. D. They struggle to apply what they have learned. 29. What is a striking finding of the new study? A. Cognitive ability declines with age. B. Behavioural patterns are consistent. C. Most participants improve after repeated trials. D. Participants’ behaviours vary greatly across cultures. 30. Which is the best title for the text? A. Understanding Rules, Breaking All. B. Knowing More, Doing Otherwise. C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了新研究发现部分人无法将行为与后果关联，且这种行为模式稳定存在。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. (悉尼新南威尔士大学的布雷塞尔博士的一项新研究发现，对于一小部分人来说，问题不在于缺乏动力或能力，而在于一种细微却持续存在的无法将自身行为与其后果联系起来的失误)”以及第二段中“The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. (该论文最近发表在《自然通讯心理学》上，详细介绍了一款在线学习游戏，参与者被要求在两个星球之间点击以获得奖励或避免惩罚。)”可知，在线学习游戏的主要目的是研究人们如何将行为与后果联系起来。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中“Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes. (研究人员证实，强迫性行为者的选择不是习惯：参与者可以解释他们的错误选择。这指向了一个更深层次的问题——无法整合新知识以尽量减少不良后果。)”可知，可以推断出强迫性行为者难以应用他们所学到的知识。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. (有趣的是，当参与者六个月后被邀请回来玩同样的游戏时，大多数人表现出相同的行为模式。)”可知，新研究的一个惊人发现是行为模式是一致的。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。 文章主要介绍了新南威尔士大学的一项新研究，该研究发现，有些人即使知道行为后果，仍然会做出有害选择，这是因为他们无法将行为与后果联系起来。这种行为模式在不同文化和年龄中普遍存在，且相对稳定。文章还指出，对于这类人，仅提供信息是不够的，需要采取不同的干预措施。因此，B选项“知道更多，行为相反”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。 D There are multiple enjoyable genres for books and movies, including action and adventure. But we need to stop sleeping on sci-fi. Talk of parallel universes, aliens and space exploration may seem fascinating, yet it’s unapproachable for some people. This surface-level perception prevents many from realizing that the genre extends beyond that, and it’s more relevant to our lives than one might expect. Dissatisfaction with traditional structures is apparent among much of Gen Z. Serious concern surrounds the future of technology, the climate, sustainability, healthcare and a host of other social issues. Current issues and future implications involving pandemic and crises spur even more pessimism. With this disillusionment, we need to use our imagination to help foster the change we seek in the future. One subject which lends itself to the encouragement of that imagination is science fiction. Edward Finn, founding director of the Center for Science and the Imagination, expressed the importance of imagination. “It is a capacity we can build as individuals and collectives, and it is the ignition system for a lot of things we care about: resilience, empathy, and innovation,” Finn said. Finn also expressed why the genre’s ability to make people envision different realities is important for societal progress. “Science fiction plays a valuable role in helping us deal with the present because it pushes us to use our own imaginations,” Finn said. “Experiencing possible futures allows us to see beyond the present and think about the world we should be working towards and the people we want to become.” It is unquestionable that technology is one of the most important aspects of our world and our daily lives. Home technologies and devices like smart phones are constantly evolving to new levels never previously imagined. This continuous improvement and innovation of these technologies parallels an evolving relationship and dependence on it. We need to question unintended consequences technology has in society and use this knowledge to navigate challenges and consider solutions to preventing potential issues in the future. From political and social issues to technological issues and beyond, looking at them through the lens of sci-fi is important for evaluating our present and how we need to innovate and reshape society to progress. Science fiction’s ability to expand our imaginations provides tools to build a more ideal world than the one we currently live in. 31. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. Science fiction describes our present living realities. B. People are unable to understand the science fiction. C. Science fiction is short of the enjoyable elements. D. People lack a deep insight into science fiction. 32. What does the underlined word “disillusionment” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. discouragement. B. astonishment. C. disagreement. D. argument. 33. According to the passage, which statement may the author agree? A. Science fiction inspire us to develop technology. B. Imagination contributes to turning future into reality. C. The solutions to the current issues may be reflected in Sci-fi. D. Technology can help prevent possible problems in the future. 34. The author writes this passage to __________. A. reveal a consequence B. suggest a pathway C. introduce a genre D. present a perspective 【答案】31. D 32. A 33. C 34. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要论述了科幻小说不应被低估，它能激发想象力，帮助我们反思当下社会问题并构想更理想的未来。 【31题详解】 细节推理题。根据第二段中“This surface-level perception prevents many from realizing that the genre extends beyond that, and it’s more relevant to our lives than one might expect. (这种表面层次的认知阻碍了许多人认识到这一类型的作品远不止于此，且与我们的生活比想象中更为息息相关。)”可知，人们对科幻小说的理解停留在表面，缺乏深入的认识。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Serious concern surrounds the future of technology, the climate, sustainability, healthcare and a host of other social issues. Current issues and future implications involving pandemic and crises spur even more pessimism. (人们对技术的未来发展、气候状况、可持续性、医疗保健以及众多其他社会问题都深感担忧。当前的危机和未来可能产生的影响（包括疫情和危机）更是引发了更多的悲观情绪。)”可知，disillusionment指的是因现实问题而产生的沮丧和失望情绪，与“discouragement(沮丧，气馁)”同义。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“We need to question unintended consequences technology has in society and use this knowledge to navigate challenges and consider solutions to preventing potential issues in the future. (我们需要质疑技术在社会中带来的意外后果，并利用这些知识来应对挑战，思考解决方案以防止未来的潜在问题。)”可知，作者认为科幻作品能帮助我们从不同角度审视当前问题，其中可能蕴含着解决现实问题的思路，即当前问题的解决办法或许能在科幻作品中有所体现。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者开篇指出人们低估了科幻小说，接着通过分析科幻如何激发想象力、帮助应对社会议题等，旨在提出一种看待世界的新视角。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every family, community, and culture has traditions, customs and practices passed down from one generation to the next. These traditions shape our identity and give us a sense of belonging. ____35____ From cooking recipes to holiday rituals, the methods by which traditions survive and evolve offer a fascinating glimpse into human society. One of the most powerful ways traditions are preserved is through storytelling. Elders share stories of the past with younger generations, often during family gatherings or community events. ____36____ In this way, history becomes alive and personal, ensuring that the values and experiences of previous generations are not forgotten. In many cultures, traditions are also maintained through formal education. Schools may teach traditional arts, crafts, or languages, ensuring that these skills are passed on even when families no longer practice them at home. ____37____ Museums and cultural centers play a similar role, displaying artifacts and offering workshops that bring traditions to life for visitors of all ages. ____38____ Festivals, ceremonies, and public celebrations provide opportunities for entire communities to participate in traditions together. Whether it is a national holiday or a local harvest festival, these shared experiences strengthen community bonds and give younger members a chance to learn through participation rather than instruction. However, traditions are not static. As societies change, traditions often adapt to remain relevant. ____39____ For example, traditional clothing may be redesigned with modern materials, or ancient ceremonies may incorporate contemporary music. This flexibility allows traditions to survive while still honoring their original meanings. Understanding how traditions are transmitted helps us appreciate the delicate balance between preserving the past and embracing the future. A. Writing was a turning point in preserving traditions. B. Through stories, young people learn values and emotions. C. New generations reinterpret traditions to reflect their own times. D. Another key method is community participation in celebrations. E. Some traditions have continued unchanged for thousands of years. F. Yet, how do traditions stay meaningful in a rapidly changing world? G.

But you may not have time or money to go to a gym on a regular basis. The good news is that today’s technology lets you access fitness classes from the comfort of your home. A quick Internet search will turn up thousands of online fitness classes. These classes let you listen to instructions and watch trainers demonstrate how to do exercises. You can watch videos on your phone, computer or tablet and do the exercises right where you are. All you need is an Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in. Online fitness classes take a wide variety of forms. Some focus on stretches and slow movements. Other classes involve fast aerobic activity, while others build muscle strength. Some require equipment such as weights, but others use only your body. This means that you can choose the class you like. And you can try a different one whenever you like. Some virtual fitness classes require a membership fee, but some are completely free. Anyone can post a fitness video on the Internet. Not everyone knows what they are doing. So it is important to think about who is teaching the class. Try to find trainers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation. I tried some virtual fitness classes several years ago. The reason was simple: convenience. I could do a fitness class at any time of day. I didn’t need to travel to a gym and back, which saved me a lot of time. But being able to work out any time meant I kept putting it off. I’d do everything else first and then the day would be over. I’d never actually get around to exercising. Having to exercise at a definite time means I have to put it on my schedule. So for me, scheduled classes such as those at a gym are helpful. 40. What do people need to have virtual fitness classes? 41. What is the author’s suggestion about choosing an instructor while having virtual fitness classes? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ·The author thinks virtual fitness classes are of great convenience and save a lot of time, so he takes virtual fitness classes on a regular basis. 43. Do you think virtual fitness classes will become a trend for young people? Why or why not? (In about 40 words) 【答案】40. An Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in. They only need an Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in. 41. The author’s suggestion is trying to find trainers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation. Trying to find teachers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation. 42. The author thinks virtual fitness classes are of great convenience and save a lot of time, so he takes virtual fitness classes on a regular basis. According to the passage, the author thinks virtual fitness classes are of great convenience and can save a lot of time, but being able to work out at any time made him often putting off his virtual fitness classes. So he didn’t take virtual fitness classes often. (So he often takes scheduled fitness classes at gyms.) 43. I think virtual fitness classes will become a trend for young people because they have many advantages. Not only can people save time and money but also they may choose from a wide variety of forms conveniently. 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文，文章介绍了在线虚拟健身课程的好处，同时简述了作者参加虚拟健身课程的经历和想法。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段关键句“You can watch videos on your phone, computer or tablet and do the exercises right where you are. All you need is an Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in.（你可以在手机上、电脑或平板电脑上看视频，也可以就地做运动。你所需要的只是一个网络连接和一个足够大的移动空间。）”可知，人们需要一个网络连接和一个足够大的移动空间来参加虚拟健身课程。故答案为An Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in./ They only need an Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“So it is important to think about who is teaching the class. Try to find trainers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation.（所以考虑谁来教这门课很重要。试着去找那些有良好声誉的机构认证的培训师。）”可知，作者建议在参加虚拟健身课程时，应寻找有良好声誉的机构认证的培训师。故答案为The author’s suggestion is trying to find trainers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation./ Trying to find teachers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段关键句“I tried some virtual fitness classes several years ago. The reason was simple: convenience.（几年前我试过一些虚拟健身课程。原因很简单：方便。）”及“I didn’t need to travel to a gym and back, which saved me a lot of time.（我不需要往返于健身房，这节省了我很多时间。）”可知，作者认为虚拟健身课程很方便也能够节省时间；再由“But being able to work out any time meant I kept putting it off.I’d do everything else first and then the day would be over. I’d never actually get around to exercising. （但是任何时候都能锻炼就意味着我一直在拖延。我会先做其它的事，然后这一天就结束了。我从来没有真正抽出时间去锻炼。）”可知，作者认为任何时间都能锻炼，就可以一直拖延，导致最后没有时间锻炼；再根据“So for me, scheduled classes such as those at a gym are helpful.（所以对我来说，像那些在健身房的课程是有帮助的。）”可知，作者经常在健身房参加预定的健身课程，而不是有规律地参加在线课程。故答案为so he takes virtual fitness classes on a regular basis. According to the passage, the author thinks virtual fitness classes are of great convenience and can save a lot of time, but being able to work out at any time made him often putting off his virtual fitness classes. So he didn’t take virtual fitness classes often. (So he often takes scheduled fitness classes at gyms.) 【43题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第三段关键句“Online fitness classes take a wide variety of forms.（在线健身课程的形式多种多样。）”及第四段关键句“Some virtual fitness classes require a membership fee, but some are completely free.（一些虚拟健身课程需要缴纳会员费，但也有一些是完全免费的。）”再结合最后一段关键句“The reason was simple: convenience.（原因很简单:方便。）”及“I didn’t need to travel to a gym and back, which saved me a lot of time.（我不需要往返于健身房，这节省了我很多时间。）”可知，在未来，在线虚拟健身课程会在年轻人中成为一种趋势，因为它有很多好处，比如，它便宜甚至免费，形式多种多样，且方便，节省时间。故答案为I think virtual fitness classes will become a trend for young people because they have many advantages. Not only can people save time and money but also they may choose from a wide variety of forms conveniently. 第二节 选词填空（每小题1分，共10分） （一） 请用方框中的单词或短语完成句子。 eager, various, figure, approach, stuck, upset, chief, assume 44.

B A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad-tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes a Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 24. The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ________. A. honor their good behavior in class B. pass on the act of acknowledgment C. show her appreciation for their help D. prepare for the graduation ceremony 25. On hearing his father’s words, the boy felt ________. A. relieved of long-held insecurities B. confused by the sudden attention C. indifferent to his father’s apology D. upset about being ignored before 26. The story mainly tells us that ________. A. teachers have great influences on students B. it is important to express gratitude to others C. everyone needs to be recognized and appreciated D. parents should pay more attention to their children C Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioural types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes) “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems.” said Dr Bressel. This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioural profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes. Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviours. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, information alone isn’t enough. “Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.” 27. What was the main purpose of the online learning game? A. To test participants’ ability to follow instructions. B. To compare different reward systems across cultures. C. To examine how people link actions with consequences. D. To measure participants’ motivation to avoid punishment. 28. What can be inferred about “Compulsives”? A. They lack awareness of their mistakes. B. They are unable to explain their behaviour. C. They are less affected by external feedback. D. They struggle to apply what they have learned. 29. What is a striking finding of the new study? A. Cognitive ability declines with age. B. Behavioural patterns are consistent. C. Most participants improve after repeated trials. D. Participants’ behaviours vary greatly across cultures. 30. Which is the best title for the text? A. Understanding Rules, Breaking All. B. Knowing More, Doing Otherwise. C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. D There are multiple enjoyable genres for books and movies, including action and adventure. But we need to stop sleeping on sci-fi. Talk of parallel universes, aliens and space exploration may seem fascinating, yet it’s unapproachable for some people. This surface-level perception prevents many from realizing that the genre extends beyond that, and it’s more relevant to our lives than one might expect. Dissatisfaction with traditional structures is apparent among much of Gen Z. Serious concern surrounds the future of technology, the climate, sustainability, healthcare and a host of other social issues. Current issues and future implications involving pandemic and crises spur even more pessimism. With this disillusionment, we need to use our imagination to help foster the change we seek in the future. One subject which lends itself to the encouragement of that imagination is science fiction. Edward Finn, founding director of the Center for Science and the Imagination, expressed the importance of imagination. “It is a capacity we can build as individuals and collectives, and it is the ignition system for a lot of things we care about: resilience, empathy, and innovation,” Finn said. Finn also expressed why the genre’s ability to make people envision different realities is important for societal progress. “Science fiction plays a valuable role in helping us deal with the present because it pushes us to use our own imaginations,” Finn said. “Experiencing possible futures allows us to see beyond the present and think about the world we should be working towards and the people we want to become.” It is unquestionable that technology is one of the most important aspects of our world and our daily lives. Home technologies and devices like smart phones are constantly evolving to new levels never previously imagined. This continuous improvement and innovation of these technologies parallels an evolving relationship and dependence on it. We need to question unintended consequences technology has in society and use this knowledge to navigate challenges and consider solutions to preventing potential issues in the future. From political and social issues to technological issues and beyond, looking at them through the lens of sci-fi is important for evaluating our present and how we need to innovate and reshape society to progress. Science fiction’s ability to expand our imaginations provides tools to build a more ideal world than the one we currently live in. 31. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. Science fiction describes our present living realities. B. People are unable to understand the science fiction. C. Science fiction is short of the enjoyable elements. D. People lack a deep insight into science fiction. 32. What does the underlined word “disillusionment” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. discouragement. B. astonishment. C. disagreement. D. argument. 33. According to the passage, which statement may the author agree? A. Science fiction inspire us to develop technology. B. Imagination contributes to turning future into reality. C. The solutions to the current issues may be reflected in Sci-fi. D. Technology can help prevent possible problems in the future. 34. The author writes this passage to __________. A. reveal a consequence B. suggest a pathway C. introduce a genre D. present a perspective 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every family, community, and culture has traditions, customs and practices passed down from one generation to the next. These traditions shape our identity and give us a sense of belonging. ____35____ From cooking recipes to holiday rituals, the methods by which traditions survive and evolve offer a fascinating glimpse into human society. One of the most powerful ways traditions are preserved is through storytelling. Elders share stories of the past with younger generations, often during family gatherings or community events. ____36____ In this way, history becomes alive and personal, ensuring that the values and experiences of previous generations are not forgotten. In many cultures, traditions are also maintained through formal education. Schools may teach traditional arts, crafts, or languages, ensuring that these skills are passed on even when families no longer practice them at home. ____37____ Museums and cultural centers play a similar role, displaying artifacts and offering workshops that bring traditions to life for visitors of all ages. ____38____ Festivals, ceremonies, and public celebrations provide opportunities for entire communities to participate in traditions together. Whether it is a national holiday or a local harvest festival, these shared experiences strengthen community bonds and give younger members a chance to learn through participation rather than instruction. However, traditions are not static. As societies change, traditions often adapt to remain relevant. ____39____ For example, traditional clothing may be redesigned with modern materials, or ancient ceremonies may incorporate contemporary music. This flexibility allows traditions to survive while still honoring their original meanings. Understanding how traditions are transmitted helps us appreciate the delicate balance between preserving the past and embracing the future. A. Writing was a turning point in preserving traditions. B. Through stories, young people learn values and emotions. C. New generations reinterpret traditions to reflect their own times. D. Another key method is community participation in celebrations. E. Some traditions have continued unchanged for thousands of years. F. Yet, how do traditions stay meaningful in a rapidly changing world? G.

But you may not have time or money to go to a gym on a regular basis. The good news is that today’s technology lets you access fitness classes from the comfort of your home. A quick Internet search will turn up thousands of online fitness classes. These classes let you listen to instructions and watch trainers demonstrate how to do exercises. You can watch videos on your phone, computer or tablet and do the exercises right where you are. All you need is an Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in. Online fitness classes take a wide variety of forms. Some focus on stretches and slow movements. Other classes involve fast aerobic activity, while others build muscle strength. Some require equipment such as weights, but others use only your body. This means that you can choose the class you like. And you can try a different one whenever you like. Some virtual fitness classes require a membership fee, but some are completely free. Anyone can post a fitness video on the Internet. Not everyone knows what they are doing. So it is important to think about who is teaching the class. Try to find trainers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation. I tried some virtual fitness classes several years ago. The reason was simple: convenience. I could do a fitness class at any time of day. I didn’t need to travel to a gym and back, which saved me a lot of time. But being able to work out any time meant I kept putting it off. I’d do everything else first and then the day would be over. I’d never actually get around to exercising. Having to exercise at a definite time means I have to put it on my schedule. So for me, scheduled classes such as those at a gym are helpful. 40.
