I am Lucy’s headmaster. Up to now, Lucy is not present at the class. Do you know where she is? You are her roommate, right? W: Yes. She just left the dorm, and is probably on the way to the class. M: OK. Could you please give her a call and tell her to hurry up? W: I will. Text 2 W: I need a break. I have been working so hard this year. Time to book another week at the beach. M: I feel the same way. Let’s look at some destinations and decide where to go. W: I have a few places in mind already. Text 3 M: What is your favorite Chinese tea? Mine is oolong. W: Mine too, but the one I’m drinking now is Pu’er. They say it can help you lose weight. M: Lose weight? I don’t think you need to lose weight. I’ve heard that green tea is the healthiest of all. Text 4 M: I just got 50 “green points” for taking the subway today. They can be exchanged for a bus ticket or a tree-planting certificate. W: How does that work? I usually drive. M: The app tracks low-carbon trips. More points mean more rewards, encouraging greener choices. Text 5 W: I noticed you’ve been coming to this café every Thursday afternoon for the past month. Working on something special? M: Actually, I’m tutoring a high school student who’s preparing for the national debate competition. This is the only time that fits both our schedules. Text 6 W: Excuse me. Do you know if bus No. 7 goes to Bryson road? M: Yes, it does. Are you trying to get to Valmont’s shopping plaza? W:Actually, yes, it’s on Bryson road, right? M: That’s right, this bus will stop in front of the mall, but there’s some repairing work underway on the south side of Bryson road. Bus No. 7 coming back this direction is being rerouted away from the road. It’s confusing. W: So, oh, I see. M: For your return trip, I’d recommend taking bus number 22 instead. It stops about two blocks from here. Text 7 M: We need to decide exactly when we’re going to move. Any suggestions? W: I think July would be the best time. Our sales are always down that month. We could move all the office equipment at a weekend, do everything at once. M: I think a weekend is too short. Maybe we should do it department by department. W: What do you mean? M: Well, each week, a different department would move. That way, there would always be people here to handle customer inquiries, phone calls, and so on. W: Emm, that’s a good idea. Text 8 M: Sophia, who had a great influence on your career? W: I would say it’s my father. He started a violin workshop when I was just 12, so I grew up playing the violin with my sister and his students. But a life in music wasn’t my plan. After graduation, I took a job as an accountant. It was stable and paid well. M: What was that like? W: It was safe, but I felt something was missing. So when a local music school offered me a part-time teaching role, I jumped at the chance. M: Did you face any challenges in your journey? W: Well, where to start? I taught music part-time while working as an accountant for three years. Then I decided to go full-time into music education. It wasn’t easy — there were financial struggles and doubts from family. But I kept going. M: What achievement are you most proud of? W: I’m most proud of founding Youth Symphony Program, which has helped over 200 students win scholarships to top music colleges. M: What are your plans for the future? W: I’m planning to expand the program to rural areas where access to music education is limited. Text 9 W: I love the colors of autumn. All the leaves turn orange and yellow and red. M: Yes, I got a great photo yesterday. 850 people liked it and nearly 650 people shared it. Does that mean I’m famous on social media? W: I’m afraid not. According to a recent study, you still need to get 150 more likes. M: What a pity! W: Is that mainly why you take pictures? M: What? No, no, I just like to share them, so my friends and families can see them. W: Have you ever thought about doing it professionally? M: No, but I have joined some competitions and won. W: That’s amazing. I can’t wait to see what you take in winter when it snows. M: I’ll probably get a cold. W: Sounds like you should buy a warm hat then. M: Thankfully, my birthday is in November, so I’ll add it to my list. Text 10 M: There was a beautiful garden with some flowers and a tree. Both the flowers and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride of the gardener. But no one knows that the flowers and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The flowers hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the flowers because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live. The situation became so serious that the flowers decided to run out of all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree fought back by not protecting the flowers from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon, the flowers were really weak, and the tree was drying up. The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the flowers realized that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the garden, watering and fertilizing (施肥于) it better than any other patch (小块土地) for miles around. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。This is Jerry speaking.

David Adams (DA): We are in our 3rd year of hosting amazing groups of women from all different industries and backgrounds and a variety of excellent speakers.

It’s not just about investing — it’s about empowering women to make informed decisions, build wealth, and prepare for retirement. NL: What are the top two or three things you discuss there? DA: Our topics include emotions surrounding money, protecting your family’s legacy, nutrition and health coaching, how to teach your children about money, and much more. NL: I haven’t heard of another financial planning company doing this. How can women get involved? DA: This initiative gives us great fulfillment to see women connecting with others and gaining confidence around these topics. We host quarterly events, with our next one coming up in May!

B “You learn a lot by almost dying,” David always says. In 2010, David, a sophomore from the medical school of Pennsylvania got very sick and the diagnosis was Castleman — a rare condition with approximately 7,000 new cases annually in the US. In hospital, David noticed curious red spots on his skin. He asked doctors what the blood spots meant. “They went out of their way to say they didn’t matter,” said David, but he would go on to prove he was on to something. Castleman hit David four more times over the next three years. David stayed alive only through intense chemotherapy (化学疗法). Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA (Master of Business Administration) at Wharton School, where he founded the CDCN — a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to improve his approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that reused drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had already approved as safe. In 2013, another attack marked his closest experience with death yet. This time, David saved his own life. After examining his medical charts, he targeted an idea that researchers hadn’t yet explored: A protein (蛋白质) called VECF which controls blood vessel growth was rising at 10 times its normal level. David assumed that the red spots with every re-occurrence were a direct result of that protein rise. David asked his doctor to order Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney transplants. He picked it up at a pharmacy. “A drug that could potentially save my life was hiding in plain sight,” he said. So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life back. “So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of promising successes!” 24. What can we know about the CDCN? A. It’s a national organization in the USA. B. It enrolled members beyond the medical field. C. It was founded when David was a medical student. D. It prioritized clinical trials on newly-applied drugs. 25. According to the text, which one is TRUE? A. Sirolimus has certain effectiveness for Castleman. B. David suffered Castleman four times all together. C. There’re roughly 7,000 Castleman cases in the US. D. Red spots on David’s skin caused an increase in VECF levels. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. David has recovered from Castleman completely. B. David has completed further research on Sirolimus. C. Sufficient investments are put in Castleman research. D. High likelihood of achievement is in Castleman research. 27. What can we learn from David’s experience? A. No pains, no gains. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. God helps those who help themselves. C As trees turn gold and red in autumn, scientists are debating exactly what those colors are for. “I had always assumed that autumn leaves were waste baskets,” said ecologist Dr. Wilkinson. “That’s what I was told as a student.” For decades, textbooks claimed that autumn colors were just a by-product of dying leaves. But in recent years, scientists have recognized that autumn colors probably play an important role in the life of many trees. Dr. Hamilton, from Oxford University, proposed that bright autumn leaves contain a message: they warn insects to leave them alone. In the fall, insects choose trees where they will lay their eggs. Then the next spring, the baby insects feed on the tree, often with damaging results. A tree can discourage these insects with poisons. Dr. Hamilton assumed that trees with strong defenses might be able to protect themselves even further by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs. By producing brilliant autumn colors, the trees advertised their harmfulness. As insects evolved to avoid the brightest leaves, natural selection favored trees that could become even brighter. The leaf-signal theory has drawn criticism, most recently from Dr. Hoch at the University of Wisconsin, who argues that bright leaves appear on trees that have no insects to warn off. His recent work suggests that fall colors serve mainly as a sunscreen. Autumn leaves cannot capture all the sunlight striking them, and the leftover energy can build up in the leaf and cause damage to its tissue. Anthocyanins (花青素) that produce red and orange colors appear to protect autumn leaves by blocking some of the sunlight. “You may have a few instances where insects have some sort of relationship to color changes,” Dr. Hoch said, “but it’s almost certainly not a broad-based explanation. It doesn’t hold any water.” These arguments have not influenced Dr. Hamilton’s supporters, who argue that the leaf-signal theory is still worth investigating. But both sides agree that the debate is useful, because it has given them deeper admiration for this time of year. 28. What did Dr. Wilkinson present about autumn leaves in the first paragraph? A. Anew discovery. B. A wide-ranging debate. C. A commonly-held view. D. A theoretical assumption. 29. What is the function of bright autumn leaves according to Dr. Hamilton? A. To attract certain insects. B. To prevent trees from harm. C. To store nutrients for the future. D. To maintain ecological balance. 30. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 4? A. Dr. Hoch had a better understanding of the fall colors than Dr. Hamilton. B. Dr. Hoch’s work showed the only function of fall colors as a sunscreen. C. Dr. Hoch found autumn leaves are completely unable to get the sunshine. D. Dr. Hoch criticized the connection between bright leaves and insect warning. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. Scientists have fully understood why autumn leaves change color. B. Scientists are debating the possible purposes of bright autumn colors. C. Autumn leaves change color mainly to protect themselves from insects. D. Autumn colors have been recognized as a useless by-product of dying leaves. D Why do countries vary in wealth? This fundamental economic question often arouses childlike curiosity. Traditional economic growth models emphasize the accumulation of production factors: labor and capital, and recently, technology or ideas. A country’s wealth is believed to increase with higher per-worker capital shares and more productive use of resources. However, this theory leaves a gap: why do some countries gain more of these factors than others? The 2024 Nobel Prize winners in economics argue that government quality is key. On October 14, 2024, three U.S.-based academics, Simon Johnson, James Robinson, and Daron Acemoglu, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for their research on the historical and institutional factors contributing to global inequality. Their research stressed the need for strong institutions and the rule of law in promoting prosperity (繁荣) and reducing poverty, especially in countries troubled by dictatorship, where the ruler or the very few individuals typically exercise strict control over all aspects of society. The three academics explained that because of the highly unequal distribution of resources the countries may face the risk of social unrest and the majority of people may experience poverty. The prizewinners identified the historical roots of weak institutional environments that are characteristics of many low-income countries today. Their research undeniably demonstrated the importance of historical uniqueness, moving development economics away from abstract growth models. Their work was a break from theories assuming an unavoidable path to modernization based on the unusual experiences of western Europe. At a press conference, Robinson from the University of Chicago referred to his co-winners from MIT as his “best friends” and emphasized that economists do not have a cure-all or a silver bullet for solving social problems. Instead, ideas are important in terms of giving people ways to think about the problems in their society. Although the three academics may not have been able to fully provide an account of why some countries are rich and others poor, new generations of economists have a firm foundation established on their work. 32. What production factors do traditional economic growth models highlight? A. Ideas, shares and resources. B. Labor force, the capital city, and technology. C. Capital, technology, and shares. D. Labor force, money for investment, and ideas. 33. What does the underlined word “dictatorship” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Absolute power. B. Social unrest. C. Strict regulations. D. Limited resources. 34. Which statement will the prizewinners probably agree with? A. Economists clearly know how to deal with social issues. B. Weak institutional environments are significant in promoting prosperity. C. Western Europe’s experiences unnecessarily show the path to modernization. D. Historical and institutional factors have not accounted for global inequality. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Strong Institutions to Reduce Poverty B. Complete Solution to Solving Social Problems C. New Discovery of Factors Affecting Prosperity D. Economic Growth Models and Global Inequality 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts. 36 It shines our way through darkness. Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves. 37 And how? Embarking on new experiences is an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you! In fact, there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views. 38 It is not emotion-based either. Train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open-mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights. What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement? 39 The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why. Rome was not built in a day. 40 Instead it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges. A. Individuals need to bring it out. B. It isn’t something you are born with. C. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. D. Developing wisdom is not a destination. E. Never base your view on the most popular opinions. F. A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors. G. In order to navigate in the world, wisdom becomes our guiding light. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last term, my school organized a science competition.

I was often the only Chinese American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable Mentions” (安慰奖). Any athlete knew that you didn’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you got just because you showed up. One summer day, the day before a big 400-meter swim meet, I decided to tell my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked at me in the eyes and said, “Dear, remember these words ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” Struggling to understand grandma’s words, I said nothing but “Yes, grandma.” The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted that I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew that she was including me in the race so that our journey to the meet would not be wasted, and she had no expectations at all that I would come in anything but eighth place, because there weren’t nine lanes (泳道). As I mounted the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were all here to do just one thing — beat me! All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head, “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine.” “Yes, grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 At the sound of the whistle (哨声), I threw myself into the pool. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
