At school I was always successfully “sick” on the annual sports day and had a standing note from my equally ____16____ mother to excuse me from physical education classes due to my “bad foot”. Even after I started exercising regularly in my mid-20s, I never ____17____ my friends’ social netball or football teams. “Hating sports” was ____18____ of my identity. Then, last year, a friend invited me to her birthday “kickabout” — a casual game of football, I guessed. Had we been less close, I might have made my ____19____. Instead, I turned up to the park, ____20____ to keep as far away from the ball as possible. ____21____, to my great surprise, I enjoyed myself. Instead of running down the clock on the sidelines, I got ____22____ in the game, cheering for my team to score. A year later, the kickabout is not only still going, but it’s ____23____ from five or six friends to a changing group of about 40. Every other Sunday, we play on a proper ____24____ at our local sports complex. What ____25____ me turning up every Sunday? Unexpectedly, it is not the socializing or the exercise. I love the slightly intoxicating sense of ____26____ myself, with zero expectation — or even hope — of ever being actually ____27____. Why does it feel so good to be bad at something? “Amateurish” (业余的) hasn’t always been a ____28____ term, explains the author and activist Karen Walrond. “It comes from the Latin, meaning ‘one who loves’.” Her new book In Defense of Dabbling explains “intentional amateurism”: finding an activity we’re ____29____ to but not necessarily naturally good at, and sticking with it anyway. There are two reasons to ____30____ intentional amateurism. First, it goes against “hustle culture” and the expectation that we should always be ____31____ or focus on self-improvement. Teaching yourself to arrange flowers, for instance, is something you might do simply for ____32____. Second, even though you might never improve, you’ll inevitably experience benefits, which can flow into your daily life. As Walrond says, she has always thought meditation difficult, but finds mindfulness when ____33____ fully in activities she enjoys. Mindfulness is among seven ____34____ by which Walrond defines intentional amateurism, along with curiosity, self-compassion, patience, kindness, honesty, and creativity. Focusing on these helped her “let go of perfectionism” and ____35____ the experience. 16. A. energetic B. curious C. unwilling D. patient 17. A. joined B. left C. visited D. found 18.

The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) allows you to get huge savings on attractions, transport, and dining. Here is what you need to know. What is ISIC? ISIC is the only globally recognized student ID card. It proves your student status worldwide and gives you access to over 150,000 discounts in more than 130 countries. In London alone, more than 200 venues offer special deals for ISIC holders. This includes famous museums, historic royal palaces, and even some guided walking tours. Top Discounts in London. With your ISIC card, you can save up to 50% on popular attractions. Here are some examples: Attraction Regular Price ISIC Price Saving Tower of London £ 29.90 £ 19.50 35% London Eye £ 32.00 £ 22.40 30% The Shard £ 32.95 £ 21.95 33% You also get one third off on most London underground and bus fares with an ISIC-linked Oyster card. Many restaurants near major universities offer 10% to 20% off meals when you show your ISIC. For instance, eateries around Bloomsbury or South Kensington often welcome student diners with these discounts. A simple flash of your card could turn a £ 15 lunch into a £ 12 one. How to Get an ISIC Card. You can apply online at isic.org. The card costs just £ 12, and it remains valid for a full 15 months. You will need to provide a recent digital photo of yourself and clear proof of your current student status. Acceptable documents include a school photo ID or an official enrollment letter from your institution. Make sure your document clearly shows the current academic year to avoid any delay. If you are in a hurry, a digital version of the card will arrive in your email inbox within 48 hours. If you prefer a physical card to carry, please allow 7 to 10 working days for delivery. Is It Worth It? If you plan to visit at least two major ticketed attractions, the card easily pays for itself. One satisfied student traveler said: “I saved £ 28 on my very first day — more than the card cost!” Start Saving Today. Visit isic.org to order your card before your trip. And do not forget to download the free ISIC mobile app. The app provides real-time updates on nearby discounts and special offers just for cardholders.

My parents said it when teaching me to swim, and again at eighteen when I learned to drive. They knew the saying held no truth for me. Now, at twenty, I swim and drive like anyone else. Yet I still cannot ride a bike. In my graduating year of college, I grew determined to cross this off my bucket list. I knew exactly who to ask — the same man who had tried to teach me when I was nine. “Well, it’s about time.” my father said, amused. On the drive home, we made a simple plan: practice on the grass at the weekend. At home, my mother joked, “I’m sure this will turn out better than your last attempt.” I laughed, but later, standing in the shower, the memory flooded back. I was nine. My dad decided I would learn to ride. He pulled my mother’s old bicycle from the garage. I sat on it, small hands gripping the handlebars. He placed his palm against my back, and I made him promise not to let go until I gave permission. Soon we were moving. “There you go!” he shouted from behind — he had released his hold. I tumbled into stinging nettles (荨麻草), my skin breaking out in burning rashes. Lying in the bathtub afterward, I begged him tearfully never to make me get on a bike again. He promised. Now, eleven years later, standing in that same bathtub, my skin itched at the recollection. Doubt emerged, but eventually my nerves settled. My dad uncovered my mother’s bicycle again — her 18th birthday gift from 1988. Twenty-seven years later, it was destined to teach me what I had failed to learn. We tried the grass first, but the soft ground and under-inflated (胎压不足的) tires defeated us. We moved to the street. I mounted again. My dad placed his hand on my back. I pushed off and leaned sharply left. I tried repeatedly, each failure deepening my frustration. A fear of falling now weighed on me, a fear so strong I hadn’t felt before. “It’s all in your head,” my father said. “You’re always trapped inside your thoughts. Let’s do this.” He pushed me forward. I began to pedal, his hand steadying me. He ran alongside, refusing to let go. “I’m ready for you to let go,” I announced. His hand lifted. I swung, then surged ahead. I felt weightless, almost free. It was dark, and I was alone on a fragile piece of metal, surrounded by asphalt (柏油路) that would tear my skin apart should I fall. My heart pounded. Yet I did not care about falling. I felt totally alive. And I kept pedaling forward. 41. What happened to the author during the first bike- riding attempt at the age of nine? A. He refused to get on the bike at the very beginning. B. His mother’s old bicycle broke down during the practice. C. He persuaded his father to let him have another try after falling off. D. His father let go of the bike before the author was ready. 42. What does the father mean by saying “It’s all in your head” in Paragraph 8? A. The author was physically too weak to ride. B. The author needed a better bicycle to succeed. C. The author’s inner fear was the real obstacle. D. The author was thinking about the past too much. 43. How did the author feel when she finally rode the bike alone on the street? A. Terrified of the asphalt and desperate to stop. B. Frustrated and unable to balance well. C. Relieved and unconcerned about the possibility of falling. D. Excited and relaxed with his father still running behind her. 44. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s father? A. He was impatient and short- tempered. B. He was caring and supportive. C. He was strict and serious. D. He was stubborn and inflexible. 45. What message does the author convey through this passage? A. It takes courage and determination to overcome deep- rooted fears. B. Parents should never push their children beyond their limits. C. Childhood nightmare can never be fully healed over time. D. Riding a bicycle is an essential skill that everyone must acquire. C THE MEN who robbed Joseph Haydn’s grave hoped that his genius would be written on his skull. A scan of the Austrian composer’s decomposing brain might have been more enlightening. Musical talent does not, as those 19th-century scientists believed, leave bumps on the cranium (颅骨). It does, however, seem to make a healthy impression on the brain. Making music is a mental workout. The brain must simultaneously coordinate sound and vision, as well as fine motor control, focus and imagination. Over time this stretches the brain like a muscle. Several studies have found that professional musicians have more grey matter (the neural tissue involved in thinking, movement and memory) in some regions than non-musicians. Existing research hints that other benefits may accrue. One study from 2020 suggests that musicians may also have better executive function and a sharper memory. And a study from last year also suggested they may even be less sensitive to pain. Might musically precocious (早慧) children have a head start? A paper from 2010 found that musicians who begin training before the age of seven have a larger corpus callosum, the neural bridge between the brain’s two hemispheres, than later starters. Research from 2014 suggests that learning an instrument also improves children’s second-language acquisition and non-verbal reasoning. Musical training later in life has been linked to slower age-related decline. A small study on older adults showed that continuing to learn an instrument was associated with less deterioration in verbal working memory and grey-matter volume. A meta-analysis from 2021 also found an association between music practice and reduced risk of developing dementia (痴呆). The instrument you play could make a difference. A study from 2024 of 1,100 older Britons found that pianists and brass players tended, on average, to have better working memory. Woodwind players had superior executive function. Singers excelled in verbal reasoning. Show-offs who played several instruments enjoyed no extra neural benefit. In addition, the brain’s limbic (边缘的) system, which processes pleasure and reward, lights up when you play an instrument. Endorphins (内啡肽), feel-good hormones which relieve pain, flow when you are in the zone. Performing in a band, orchestra or choir eases stress and encourages social bonding. And if an instrument is out of reach, simply listening may also be worth a try. The good news is that you don’t have to be a musical genius to feel the benefits of deliberate and regular practice. Studies have found that consistent training correlated with brain reorganisation in amateurs as well as professionals. But if you are a second Haydn, consider hiring a guard at your tombstone. 46. The underlined word “accrue” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. distribute fairly B. decline sharply C. accumulate gradually D. compensate fully 47. We can infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4 that ________. A. The meta-analysis confirms that musical gift can reduce the risk of dementia. B. Musical training may bring long-term positive effects on people’s cognitive health. C. People who start music after seven have no structural advantage in the brain. D. Musical ability is the key factor in improving second-language learning efficiency. 48. The examples of “instrument” in Paragraph 5 are used to illustrate that ________. A. Playing multiple instruments brings greater neural benefits than focusing on one. B. Piano playing improves working memory more effectively than other instruments. C. Various musical practices correspond with distinct advantages in brain functions. D. Singing benefits verbal reasoning more significantly than playing woodwind. 49. How is the passage generally developed? A. By listing examples and explaining causes. B. By comparing different opinions and giving data. C. By introducing a point of view and presenting supporting findings. D. By describing a process and analyzing results. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. The story of Joseph Haydn and his musical achievements. B. How musical training benefits the brain physically and mentally. C. The differences between professional and amateur musicians. D. Why musical geniuses are rare in the world. D Is there anything more frustrating than other people? Despite our best efforts to persuade them to do, say and be what we want, they persist in overturn our plans by making their own decisions, being their own people and thinking their own thoughts. One can waste hours spiraling (纠结) about others’ behavior. Why weren’t we included in that meeting at work? Why did that stranger cut us off in traffic? Every time you are about to start obsessing over someone else’s actions, remember: let them! The concept was recently popularized by motivational speaker Mel Robbins. “I just heard about this thing called the Let Them theory,” she told her millions of followers in an Instagram post in May 2023. “I love it.” The video quickly went viral. People got “Let Them” tattoos. In December 2024, Robbins released a book, The Let Them Theory. It became a New York Times bestseller. CNN and the New York Times interviewed Robbins. Even Oprah talked about it on her podcast (播客), saying: “This book is a game-changer. It’s a life-changer.” There are some important caveats to the theory, according to Robbins. She argues, “let them” only works if it is followed by “let me”. In other words, it is not an excuse for inaction. Accepting that we can’t control other people’s actions is a reminder that we are entirely responsible for our own. You are not responsible for someone cutting you off in traffic, but you are responsible for responding with patience and courtesy, rather than with anger and harsh words. Also, there are certain situations in which you should not, under any circumstance, “let them”. Robbins explained in a podcast episode that the theory does not apply if someone wants to do something dangerous or if you see someone being discriminated against. In those cases, she says, you must speak up. Second, you must always advocate for yourself and what you need — negotiate a higher salary, for example, or insist on getting the medical care you need. Finally, if someone continually violates your boundaries, you should not “let them” do that, Robbins says. The “let them” concept is not without its critics. People have argued that the theory is Stoicism repackaged. Others have criticized Robbins for not crediting poet Cassie B. Phillips, whose poem Let Them went viral in 2022. Robbins herself acknowledges this. As an author, podcaster and former lawyer, she is not a mental health professional. But experts agree that giving up on trying to control the behaviors and actions of others can be hugely beneficial — not only for yourself, but for the people around you as well. The phrase is not a panacea (万能药). It still takes time for whatever emotion people are feeling to pass. But saying “let them” prevents us from being reactive. It gives us space to pause and remind ourselves that our own actions are all we can control. Annoying! But also liberating. It’s a reminder that it’s OK to step back, let people be who they are, and stop carrying things that aren’t ours to carry. 51. What can we learn from Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory? A. It was published in the year 2023. B. It received wide media and public recognition. C. It was written in the form of a podcast. D. It was based on Oprah’s personal experience. 52. The underlined word “caveats” in Paragraph 4 can be explained as ________. A. restrictions and boundaries of application B. remarkable benefits and positive effects C. detailed interpretations and further analyses D. typical instances and practical illustrations 53. Which of the following is against The Let Them theory according to Robbins? A. Mind your own behavior when annoyed by strangers. B. Stay silent when witnessing unfair discrimination. C. Fight for your deserved salary and medical care. D. Refuse to tolerate others’ repeated boundary violations. 54. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. It takes little time to get rid of negative emotions. B. The Let Them theory is not perfect but meaningful. C. We can control both our own actions and others’. D. The phrase “let them” can solve all life problems 55. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce and comment on a popular life philosophy. B. To persuade readers to accept others’ mistakes. C. To criticize Mel Robbins’ new book. D. To explain how to control one’s emotions. 第II卷 非选择题(共35分) 第三部分：写作(共两节;满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Who built the Great Pyramid? How was it built? What is its significance? These questions have bewildered people for a long time. Finding definite answers to them is not as straightforward as you might think. Long ago, the history of human beings was not recorded. As ancient societies died out, their histories died with them. Now, most of this information is buried. Some of it, like the ancient Great Egypt, sits above ground — unexplained and mysterious. Archaeologists (考古学家) help us to explain things. They dig at old sites and collect objects that were used by ancient cultures. Using their imagination, they come up with their “best theory” about what these objects tell us about the people who used them. We know for sure that the Great Pyramid was constructed around 2600 BC. It contains nearly two and a half million blocks of stone. Some of these stones weigh nearly 70 tons. How were these blocks moved? How did the workers move them up the tall structure to heights of 146 meters? There are numerous measurements contained in the Great Pyramid that point to a knowledge of mathematics, science, astronomy and world geography that we would not have expected from the Egyptians. The builders of the Great Pyramid were determined to keep their secrets to themselves. When the first modern visitor discovered the pyramid in the 19th century, he wasn’t even able to find the entrance because it had been so carefully disguised by the builders. After tunneling aimlessly for weeks, he accidentally discovered the entrance passage, only to find that the builders had blocked it with a massive stone plug. His men tunneled around this obstacle and arrived at the entrance. It was blocked by another huge stone. When they finally cut it away, another stone immediately fell into its place, blocking the passage again. An intruder would have to remove each successive block of stone to enter the Great Pyramid. Why did the Egyptians make it so difficult to gain entry? Was it only the gold and treasure of the king’s burial they wished to conceal? These questions, as with most things from the ancient past, are easier to ask than to answer. 56. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________________ 57. How do archaeologists help us solve the mysteries of the ancient Great Egypt? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 58. According to the passage, what do we know for sure about the Great Pyramid? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 59. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 60. How do you find the Egyptian builders of the Great Pyramid? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 阅读下面材料，根据要求写作。 Nature is essential to our existence.

There’re weeks left before the big day. A. Let’s call it a day B. It’s settled C. That’s the point D. Take your time 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我还没决定为即将到来的母亲节准备什么礼物。——慢慢来。离这个重要的日子还有几个星期呢。A. Let’s call it a day今天就到此为止吧；B. It’s settled说定了；C. That’s the point这正是关键所在；D. Take your time慢慢来。根据后文“There’re weeks left before the big day.”可知，离母亲节还有几周时间，时间还很充裕，应劝对方慢慢来，不用着急。 2. Pressure from heavy study tasks, ________ managed in a healthy way, will have a negative influence on students’ mental health. A. since B. once C. unless D. though 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：繁重学习任务带来的压力，如果不以健康的方式处理，将会对学生的心理健康产生负面影响。A. since因为；B. once一旦；C. unless除非，如果不；D. though虽然。结合句意，表示“如果不……”用unless引导条件状语从句，此处为状语从句的省略，完整形式为“unless it is managed in a healthy way”。 3. Movies disappoint us when things don’t look the way ________ we imagine them in the books. A. why B. that C. what D. which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：当电影里的事物看起来不像我们在书中想象的那样时，电影会让我们失望。当先行词是the way，意为“方式”，且在定语从句中作方式状语时，定语从句的引导词可以用that、in which或者省略。 4. Over the past few years, the eastern coast, together with its surrounding scenic beaches, ________ a favored getaway for travelers seeking peace and natural beauty. A. have become B. has become C. are becoming D. is becoming 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去的几年里，东海岸连同其周围风景优美的海滩，已经成为寻求宁静和自然之美的游客们青睐的度假胜地。根据句中的时间状语“Over the past few years”可知，句子应使用现在完成时，表示过去发生的动作一直持续到现在或对现在造成影响。此外，当主语后跟有“together with...”等介词短语时，谓语动词的单复数形式应与前面的中心主语保持一致（即“就远原则”）。本句的中心主语“the eastern coast”为单数，因此谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式“has become”。 5. The effective control of juvenile crime depends on a proper ________ to integrating professional education and corrective measures. A. approach B. means C. method D. way 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：有效管控青少年犯罪取决于将专业教育与矫治措施相结合的恰当途径。A.approach途径、方法，常与介词to搭配；B.means方式，多搭配of；C.method办法，侧重具体做法，常搭配of；D.way方式，搭配宽泛。way to do中的to一般是不定式，而本句to后是动名词，approach可与空后to构成固定搭配an approach to doing sth.，意为“做某事的方法”，所以应用approach。 6. The project manager invited him to the strategy meeting, ________ him to several senior executives who later offered him a promotion. A. having introduced B. to introduce C. introducing D. introduced 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：项目经理邀请他参加战略会议，把他介绍给了几位高级主管，这些主管后来给他提供了晋升的机会。句中已有谓语动词invited，空处应填非谓语形式；动词introduce与逻辑主语The project manager之间构成主动关系，且该动作与谓语动词invited同时发生，作伴随状语，应用现在分词的一般式。 7. The opera The Revenge of Prince Zidan ________ if you want to enjoy a performance that perfectly combines music, drama, poetry and costume design with explosive effect.

At school I was always successfully “sick” on the annual sports day and had a standing note from my equally ____16____ mother to excuse me from physical education classes due to my “bad foot”. Even after I started exercising regularly in my mid-20s, I never ____17____ my friends’ social netball or football teams. “Hating sports” was ____18____ of my identity. Then, last year, a friend invited me to her birthday “kickabout” — a casual game of football, I guessed. Had we been less close, I might have made my ____19____. Instead, I turned up to the park, ____20____ to keep as far away from the ball as possible. ____21____, to my great surprise, I enjoyed myself. Instead of running down the clock on the sidelines, I got ____22____ in the game, cheering for my team to score. A year later, the kickabout is not only still going, but it’s ____23____ from five or six friends to a changing group of about 40. Every other Sunday, we play on a proper ____24____ at our local sports complex. What ____25____ me turning up every Sunday? Unexpectedly, it is not the socializing or the exercise. I love the slightly intoxicating sense of ____26____ myself, with zero expectation — or even hope — of ever being actually ____27____. Why does it feel so good to be bad at something? “Amateurish” (业余的) hasn’t always been a ____28____ term, explains the author and activist Karen Walrond. “It comes from the Latin, meaning ‘one who loves’.” Her new book In Defense of Dabbling explains “intentional amateurism”: finding an activity we’re ____29____ to but not necessarily naturally good at, and sticking with it anyway. There are two reasons to ____30____ intentional amateurism. First, it goes against “hustle culture” and the expectation that we should always be ____31____ or focus on self-improvement. Teaching yourself to arrange flowers, for instance, is something you might do simply for ____32____. Second, even though you might never improve, you’ll inevitably experience benefits, which can flow into your daily life. As Walrond says, she has always thought meditation difficult, but finds mindfulness when ____33____ fully in activities she enjoys. Mindfulness is among seven ____34____ by which Walrond defines intentional amateurism, along with curiosity, self-compassion, patience, kindness, honesty, and creativity. Focusing on these helped her “let go of perfectionism” and ____35____ the experience. 16. A. energetic B. curious C. unwilling D. patient 17. A. joined B. left C. visited D. found 18.

My parents said it when teaching me to swim, and again at eighteen when I learned to drive. They knew the saying held no truth for me. Now, at twenty, I swim and drive like anyone else. Yet I still cannot ride a bike. In my graduating year of college, I grew determined to cross this off my bucket list. I knew exactly who to ask — the same man who had tried to teach me when I was nine. “Well, it’s about time.” my father said, amused. On the drive home, we made a simple plan: practice on the grass at the weekend. At home, my mother joked, “I’m sure this will turn out better than your last attempt.” I laughed, but later, standing in the shower, the memory flooded back. I was nine. My dad decided I would learn to ride. He pulled my mother’s old bicycle from the garage. I sat on it, small hands gripping the handlebars. He placed his palm against my back, and I made him promise not to let go until I gave permission. Soon we were moving. “There you go!” he shouted from behind — he had released his hold. I tumbled into stinging nettles (荨麻草), my skin breaking out in burning rashes. Lying in the bathtub afterward, I begged him tearfully never to make me get on a bike again. He promised. Now, eleven years later, standing in that same bathtub, my skin itched at the recollection. Doubt emerged, but eventually my nerves settled. My dad uncovered my mother’s bicycle again — her 18th birthday gift from 1988. Twenty-seven years later, it was destined to teach me what I had failed to learn. We tried the grass first, but the soft ground and under-inflated (胎压不足的) tires defeated us. We moved to the street. I mounted again. My dad placed his hand on my back. I pushed off and leaned sharply left. I tried repeatedly, each failure deepening my frustration. A fear of falling now weighed on me, a fear so strong I hadn’t felt before. “It’s all in your head,” my father said. “You’re always trapped inside your thoughts. Let’s do this.” He pushed me forward. I began to pedal, his hand steadying me. He ran alongside, refusing to let go. “I’m ready for you to let go,” I announced. His hand lifted. I swung, then surged ahead. I felt weightless, almost free. It was dark, and I was alone on a fragile piece of metal, surrounded by asphalt (柏油路) that would tear my skin apart should I fall. My heart pounded. Yet I did not care about falling. I felt totally alive. And I kept pedaling forward. 41. What happened to the author during the first bike- riding attempt at the age of nine? A. He refused to get on the bike at the very beginning. B. His mother’s old bicycle broke down during the practice. C. He persuaded his father to let him have another try after falling off. D. His father let go of the bike before the author was ready. 42. What does the father mean by saying “It’s all in your head” in Paragraph 8? A. The author was physically too weak to ride. B. The author needed a better bicycle to succeed. C. The author’s inner fear was the real obstacle. D. The author was thinking about the past too much. 43. How did the author feel when she finally rode the bike alone on the street? A. Terrified of the asphalt and desperate to stop. B. Frustrated and unable to balance well. C. Relieved and unconcerned about the possibility of falling. D. Excited and relaxed with his father still running behind her. 44. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s father? A. He was impatient and short- tempered. B. He was caring and supportive. C. He was strict and serious. D. He was stubborn and inflexible. 45. What message does the author convey through this passage? A. It takes courage and determination to overcome deep- rooted fears. B. Parents should never push their children beyond their limits. C. Childhood nightmare can never be fully healed over time. D. Riding a bicycle is an essential skill that everyone must acquire. 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者时隔多年重拾学骑车的想法，克服童年心理阴影，在父亲陪伴鼓励下成功学会骑自行车的故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“He placed his palm against my back, and I made him promise not to let go until I gave permission. Soon we were moving. “There you go!” he shouted from behind — he had released his hold. (他把手掌贴在我的背上，我让他答应没得到我的允许绝不松手。很快我们开始前行，他在身后大喊好了，他已经松开了手。)”可知，作者九岁初次学骑车时，父亲在作者尚未做好准备的情况下就松开了手。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线句子后的“You’re always trapped inside your thoughts. Let’s do this. (你总是深陷自己的思绪之中，我们开始吧。)”可知，父亲认为作者一直被内心情绪困扰，内心的恐惧才是学车路上真正的阻碍。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Yet I did not care about falling. I felt totally alive. And I kept pedaling forward. (但我丝毫不在意摔倒，内心充满活力，一直向前蹬车前行。)”可知，作者独自骑车时内心释然，不再担忧自己会摔倒。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Well, it’s about time.” my father said, amused. (父亲笑着说道，总算到时候了。)以及倒数第三段中的“He pushed me forward. I began to pedal, his hand steadying me. He ran alongside, refusing to let go. (他推着我向前，我开始蹬车，他用手稳住车身，一路陪着我奔跑不肯松手。)”可知，父亲全程耐心陪伴、温柔鼓励，十分关心并且支持作者学车。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“In my graduating year of college, I grew determined to cross this off my bucket list. (大学毕业那年，我下定决心完成学车这个心愿。)”以及前文童年留下心理阴影、后文不断克服恐惧坚持练习的内容可知，文章传达出战胜根深蒂固的内心恐惧，需要十足的勇气与坚定的决心这一主旨。 C THE MEN who robbed Joseph Haydn’s grave hoped that his genius would be written on his skull. A scan of the Austrian composer’s decomposing brain might have been more enlightening. Musical talent does not, as those 19th-century scientists believed, leave bumps on the cranium (颅骨). It does, however, seem to make a healthy impression on the brain. Making music is a mental workout. The brain must simultaneously coordinate sound and vision, as well as fine motor control, focus and imagination. Over time this stretches the brain like a muscle. Several studies have found that professional musicians have more grey matter (the neural tissue involved in thinking, movement and memory) in some regions than non-musicians. Existing research hints that other benefits may accrue. One study from 2020 suggests that musicians may also have better executive function and a sharper memory. And a study from last year also suggested they may even be less sensitive to pain. Might musically precocious (早慧) children have a head start? A paper from 2010 found that musicians who begin training before the age of seven have a larger corpus callosum, the neural bridge between the brain’s two hemispheres, than later starters. Research from 2014 suggests that learning an instrument also improves children’s second-language acquisition and non-verbal reasoning. Musical training later in life has been linked to slower age-related decline. A small study on older adults showed that continuing to learn an instrument was associated with less deterioration in verbal working memory and grey-matter volume. A meta-analysis from 2021 also found an association between music practice and reduced risk of developing dementia (痴呆). The instrument you play could make a difference. A study from 2024 of 1,100 older Britons found that pianists and brass players tended, on average, to have better working memory. Woodwind players had superior executive function. Singers excelled in verbal reasoning. Show-offs who played several instruments enjoyed no extra neural benefit. In addition, the brain’s limbic (边缘的) system, which processes pleasure and reward, lights up when you play an instrument. Endorphins (内啡肽), feel-good hormones which relieve pain, flow when you are in the zone. Performing in a band, orchestra or choir eases stress and encourages social bonding. And if an instrument is out of reach, simply listening may also be worth a try. The good news is that you don’t have to be a musical genius to feel the benefits of deliberate and regular practice. Studies have found that consistent training correlated with brain reorganisation in amateurs as well as professionals. But if you are a second Haydn, consider hiring a guard at your tombstone. 46. The underlined word “accrue” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. distribute fairly B. decline sharply C. accumulate gradually D. compensate fully 47. We can infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4 that ________. A. The meta-analysis confirms that musical gift can reduce the risk of dementia. B. Musical training may bring long-term positive effects on people’s cognitive health. C. People who start music after seven have no structural advantage in the brain. D. Musical ability is the key factor in improving second-language learning efficiency. 48. The examples of “instrument” in Paragraph 5 are used to illustrate that ________. A. Playing multiple instruments brings greater neural benefits than focusing on one. B. Piano playing improves working memory more effectively than other instruments. C. Various musical practices correspond with distinct advantages in brain functions. D. Singing benefits verbal reasoning more significantly than playing woodwind. 49. How is the passage generally developed? A. By listing examples and explaining causes. B. By comparing different opinions and giving data. C. By introducing a point of view and presenting supporting findings. D. By describing a process and analyzing results. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. The story of Joseph Haydn and his musical achievements. B. How musical training benefits the brain physically and mentally. C. The differences between professional and amateur musicians. D. Why musical geniuses are rare in the world. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. C 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】文章引用多项研究成果系统阐述音乐训练对大脑的影响。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“Several studies have found that professional musicians have more grey matter (the neural tissue involved in thinking, movement and memory) in some regions than non-musicians. Existing research hints that other benefits may accrue. One study from 2020 suggests that musicians may also have better executive function and a sharper memory. (几项研究发现，专业音乐家在某些区域的灰质(参与思考、运动和记忆的神经组织)比非音乐家更多。现有研究暗示可能会accrue其他益处。2020年的一项研究表明，音乐家可能还拥有更好的执行功能和更敏锐的记忆力。)”可知，前面提到了音乐家有更多灰质这一益处，后面又列举了其他益处，所以accrue的意思是“产生；逐渐积累”，与accumulate gradually同义。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Research from 2014 suggests that learning an instrument also improves children’s second-language acquisition and non-verbal reasoning. (2014年的研究表明，学习乐器还能提高儿童的第二语言习得能力和非语言推理能力。)”以及第四段中的句子“Musical training later in life has been linked to slower age-related decline. A small study on older adults showed that continuing to learn an instrument was associated with less deterioration in verbal working memory and grey-matter volume. A meta-analysis from 2021 also found an association between music practice and reduced risk of developing dementia (痴呆).(晚年的音乐训练与减缓与年龄相关的衰退有关。一项针对老年人的小型研究表明，继续学习乐器与言语工作记忆和灰质体积的退化减少有关。2021年的一项荟萃分析也发现，音乐练习与降低患痴呆症的风险之间存在关联。)”可推断出，音乐训练可能对人们的认知健康带来长期的积极影响。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“A study from 2024 of 1,100 older Britons found that pianists and brass players tended, on average, to have better working memory. Woodwind players had superior executive function. Singers excelled in verbal reasoning. (2024年一项针对1100名英国老年人的研究发现，钢琴手和铜管乐器演奏者平均而言往往有更好的工作记忆。木管乐器演奏者有更出色的执行功能。歌手在语言推理方面表现出色。)”可知，不同的乐器练习对应着大脑功能的不同优势。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。文章开头“THE MEN who robbed Joseph Haydn’s grave hoped that his genius would be written on his skull.(抢劫约瑟夫·海顿坟墓的人希望他的天才能写在他的头骨上。)”通过约瑟夫·海顿坟墓被盗的故事引出音乐天赋与大脑的关系这一观点，然后通过列举多项研究结果来支持音乐训练对大脑有益这一观点，所以文章是通过介绍一个观点并呈现支持性的研究发现来展开的。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了多项研究表明音乐训练对大脑的认知功能、身心健康等方面都有好处，比如增加灰质、提高执行功能、减缓认知衰退、降低痴呆症风险等，同时还提到不同乐器对大脑不同功能的益处以及演奏乐器带来的心理愉悦等。所以文章的主旨是音乐训练如何在身心方面使大脑受益。 D Is there anything more frustrating than other people? Despite our best efforts to persuade them to do, say and be what we want, they persist in overturn our plans by making their own decisions, being their own people and thinking their own thoughts. One can waste hours spiraling (纠结) about others’ behavior. Why weren’t we included in that meeting at work? Why did that stranger cut us off in traffic? Every time you are about to start obsessing over someone else’s actions, remember: let them! The concept was recently popularized by motivational speaker Mel Robbins. “I just heard about this thing called the Let Them theory,” she told her millions of followers in an Instagram post in May 2023. “I love it.” The video quickly went viral. People got “Let Them” tattoos. In December 2024, Robbins released a book, The Let Them Theory. It became a New York Times bestseller. CNN and the New York Times interviewed Robbins. Even Oprah talked about it on her podcast (播客), saying: “This book is a game-changer. It’s a life-changer.” There are some important caveats to the theory, according to Robbins. She argues, “let them” only works if it is followed by “let me”. In other words, it is not an excuse for inaction. Accepting that we can’t control other people’s actions is a reminder that we are entirely responsible for our own. You are not responsible for someone cutting you off in traffic, but you are responsible for responding with patience and courtesy, rather than with anger and harsh words. Also, there are certain situations in which you should not, under any circumstance, “let them”. Robbins explained in a podcast episode that the theory does not apply if someone wants to do something dangerous or if you see someone being discriminated against. In those cases, she says, you must speak up. Second, you must always advocate for yourself and what you need — negotiate a higher salary, for example, or insist on getting the medical care you need. Finally, if someone continually violates your boundaries, you should not “let them” do that, Robbins says. The “let them” concept is not without its critics. People have argued that the theory is Stoicism repackaged. Others have criticized Robbins for not crediting poet Cassie B. Phillips, whose poem Let Them went viral in 2022. Robbins herself acknowledges this. As an author, podcaster and former lawyer, she is not a mental health professional. But experts agree that giving up on trying to control the behaviors and actions of others can be hugely beneficial — not only for yourself, but for the people around you as well. The phrase is not a panacea (万能药). It still takes time for whatever emotion people are feeling to pass. But saying “let them” prevents us from being reactive. It gives us space to pause and remind ourselves that our own actions are all we can control. Annoying! But also liberating. It’s a reminder that it’s OK to step back, let people be who they are, and stop carrying things that aren’t ours to carry. 51. What can we learn from Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory? A. It was published in the year 2023. B. It received wide media and public recognition. C. It was written in the form of a podcast. D. It was based on Oprah’s personal experience. 52. The underlined word “caveats” in Paragraph 4 can be explained as ________. A. restrictions and boundaries of application B. remarkable benefits and positive effects C. detailed interpretations and further analyses D. typical instances and practical illustrations 53. Which of the following is against The Let Them theory according to Robbins? A. Mind your own behavior when annoyed by strangers. B. Stay silent when witnessing unfair discrimination. C. Fight for your deserved salary and medical care. D. Refuse to tolerate others’ repeated boundary violations. 54. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. It takes little time to get rid of negative emotions. B. The Let Them theory is not perfect but meaningful. C. We can control both our own actions and others’. D. The phrase “let them” can solve all life problems 55. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce and comment on a popular life philosophy. B. To persuade readers to accept others’ mistakes. C. To criticize Mel Robbins’ new book. D. To explain how to control one’s emotions. 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. B 54. B 55. A 【解析】 【导语】文章聚焦“Let Them理论”，从流行背景、核心内涵、应用边界到争议评价进行全面阐述。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的句子In December 2024, Robbins released a book, The Let Them Theory. It became a New York Times bestseller. CNN and the New York Times interviewed Robbins. Even Oprah talked about it on her podcast (播客), saying: “This book is a game-changer. It’s a life-changer.”(2024年12月，罗宾斯出版了《Let Them理论》一书。这本书成为了《纽约时报》畅销书。美国有线电视新闻网和《纽约时报》采访了罗宾斯。甚至奥普拉也在她的播客中谈到了这本书，说：“这本书改变了游戏规则，也改变了人生”)”可知，这本书受到了广泛的媒体和公众认可。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的句子“She argues, “let them’ only works if it is followed by ‘let me”. In other words, it is not an excuse for inaction. (她认为，“随他们去”只有在后面加上“随自己去”才有效。换句话说，这不是不作为的借口。)”以及第五段中的句子“Also, there are certain situations in which you should not, under any circumstance, ‘let them’. (此外，在某些情况下，无论如何你都不应该“随他们去”。)”可知，这里是在说明该理论的使用限制和应用边界，所以caveats的意思是“应用的限制和边界”。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的句子“Robbins explained in a podcast episode that the theory does not apply if someone wants to do something dangerous or if you see someone being discriminated against. In those cases, she says, you must speak up. (罗宾斯在一期播客中解释说，如果有人想要做危险的事情，或者你看到有人受到歧视，这个理论就不适用。她说，在这种情况下，你必须大声说出来。)”可知，当目睹不公平的歧视时保持沉默是违背该理论的。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的句子“The phrase is not a panacea (万能药). It still takes time for whatever emotion people are feeling to pass. But saying ‘let them’ prevents us from being reactive. It gives us space to pause and remind ourselves that our own actions are all we can control. (这句话不是万能药。人们感受到的任何情绪都需要时间才能消散。但说“随他们去”可以防止我们做出反应。它给我们空间停下来提醒自己，我们能控制的只有自己的行为。)”可推断出，Let Them理论并不完美，但很有意义。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。文章首先介绍了“Let Them理论”的流行情况，接着阐述了该理论的内涵、应用的限制和边界，还提到了对该理论的批评，最后对该理论进行了评价。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍并评论一种流行的生活哲学。 第II卷 非选择题(共35分) 第三部分：写作(共两节;满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Who built the Great Pyramid? How was it built? What is its significance? These questions have bewildered people for a long time. Finding definite answers to them is not as straightforward as you might think. Long ago, the history of human beings was not recorded. As ancient societies died out, their histories died with them. Now, most of this information is buried. Some of it, like the ancient Great Egypt, sits above ground — unexplained and mysterious. Archaeologists (考古学家) help us to explain things. They dig at old sites and collect objects that were used by ancient cultures. Using their imagination, they come up with their “best theory” about what these objects tell us about the people who used them. We know for sure that the Great Pyramid was constructed around 2600 BC. It contains nearly two and a half million blocks of stone. Some of these stones weigh nearly 70 tons. How were these blocks moved? How did the workers move them up the tall structure to heights of 146 meters? There are numerous measurements contained in the Great Pyramid that point to a knowledge of mathematics, science, astronomy and world geography that we would not have expected from the Egyptians. The builders of the Great Pyramid were determined to keep their secrets to themselves. When the first modern visitor discovered the pyramid in the 19th century, he wasn’t even able to find the entrance because it had been so carefully disguised by the builders. After tunneling aimlessly for weeks, he accidentally discovered the entrance passage, only to find that the builders had blocked it with a massive stone plug. His men tunneled around this obstacle and arrived at the entrance. It was blocked by another huge stone. When they finally cut it away, another stone immediately fell into its place, blocking the passage again. An intruder would have to remove each successive block of stone to enter the Great Pyramid. Why did the Egyptians make it so difficult to gain entry? Was it only the gold and treasure of the king’s burial they wished to conceal? These questions, as with most things from the ancient past, are easier to ask than to answer. 56. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________________ 57. How do archaeologists help us solve the mysteries of the ancient Great Egypt? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 58. According to the passage, what do we know for sure about the Great Pyramid? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 59. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 60. How do you find the Egyptian builders of the Great Pyramid? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Puzzled 或 Confused. (Bothered, Astonished 或 Questioned 不给分) 57. They dig at old sites, collect ancient Egyptians’ objects and make their best guess. Or They dig at sites, collect objects and come up with their “best theory”. Or By digging at old sites, collecting ancient Egyptian people’s objects and inferring the masters’ wisdom. 58. It was constructed / built around 2600 BC containing many heavy stones. Or The construction time and the use of stones. 59. It is difficult to enter the Great Pyramid. Or How difficult it is to go into the Great Pyramid. Or The anti-theft designs of the Great Pyramid. 60. (Open) Possible answers: They are smart / intelligent / clever / wise. (Because) the anti-theft design is so successful that we cannot solve the mystery or answer the questions now. Or They are creative. (Because) they built such a unique and complex building at ancient times. Or They are determined. (Because) they have successfully designed and built the Great Pyramid without advanced modern equipment. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕金字塔的建造、谜团与防盗设计展开，介绍了考古学家的研究方法以及金字塔至今未解的秘密。 【56题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据文章第一段“These questions have bewildered people for a long time. Finding definite answers to them is not as straightforward as you might think. Long ago, the history of human beings was not recorded. As ancient societies died out, their histories died with them. Now, most of this information is buried. Some of it, like the ancient Great Egypt, sits above ground — unexplained and mysterious.(这些问题长期以来一直……着人们。要找到这些问题的确切答案，并不像你想象的那么简单直接。很久以前，人类的历史没有文字记载。随着古老的社会消亡，它们的历史也随之消失。如今，大部分相关信息都被湮没在岁月中。而其中一部分，比如古埃及的遗迹，依然矗立在地面上 —— 无法解释，神秘莫测。)”可推知，这些问题一直困扰着人们，还没有解决，由此可推知，bewildered 意为“使困惑”，故填 Puzzled/Confused。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“They dig at old sites and collect objects... they come up with their ‘best theory’.(他们挖掘古遗址、收集文物，提出最佳理论)”可知，考古学家通过挖掘遗址、收集文物、提出理论来破解谜团。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“We know for sure that the Great Pyramid was constructed around 2600 BC. It contains nearly two and a half million blocks of stone.(我们确知金字塔建于公元前 2600 年左右，由巨石建成)” 可推知，确切信息为建造时间和巨石用料，即公元前 2600 年左右。 【59题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据文章第四段“keep their secrets(保持他们的秘密)”、第五段“couldn’t find entrance, blocked by stones(入口隐蔽、层层封堵)”可推知，本段核心是金字塔极难进入。 【60题详解】 开放试题，言之有理即可。根据文章最后一段“Why did the Egyptians make it so difficult to gain entry? Was it only the gold and treasure of the king’s burial they wished to conceal? These questions, as with most things from the ancient past, are easier to ask than to answer.(埃及人为何把入口造得如此难进？他们仅仅是想隐藏国王陵墓里的黄金与财宝吗？这些问题，就像大多数远古往事一样，问起来容易，答起来难。)” 可知，建设者很聪明。因为防盗设计极为精妙，至今我们都无法解开谜团、找到答案。 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 阅读下面材料，根据要求写作。 Nature is essential to our existence.

Consequently, we should live in harmony with nature, which lays a foundation for the progress of human society. From my perspective, we can explore nature with sincere curiosity. Only when we venture into the wilderness and witness the transitions of the seasons can we truly embrace nature, feeling the gentle breezes and appreciating the rolling hills. As we constantly benefit from and delight in the precious gifts from nature, it falls upon us to safeguard our living environment. For instance, we can care for our planet through community tree-planting activities on weekends. It is these small acts that remind us of our responsibility to take care of the Earth. As the proverb goes, many hands make light work. Small acts can make a big difference. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生围绕“Nature”这一主题，阐述人与自然的关系、对探索、拥抱和呵护自然的理解，并结合自身或身边事例展开写作。 【详解】1.词汇积累 提供：provide → supply 因此：consequently → hence 高兴：delight → rejoice 欣赏：appreciate → admire 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Consequently, we should live in harmony with nature, which lays a foundation for the progress of human society. 拓展句：Consequently, we should live in harmony with nature, laying a foundation for the progress of human society. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Only when we venture into the wilderness and witness the transitions of the seasons can we truly embrace nature, feeling the gentle breezes and appreciating the rolling hills.(运用了“only+状语从句”置于句首的部分倒装结构和现在分词短语feeling the gentle breezes and appreciating the rolling hills作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】It is these small acts that remind us of our responsibility to take care of the Earth.(运用了强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
