There are two candidates for this position: Amy Coleman, and Sam Stewart. First, let’s explore Amy’s qualifications for this position. On the positive side, she has excellent communication skills and is experienced in running a marketing team. Additionally, she is really popular among the other employees. On the other side, Amy is not receptive to new information or viewpoints and she’s not creative enough. Now, let’s turn to Sam. In the first place, Sam doesn’t have much experience or good communication abilities, compared to Amy. But he seems to have much potential despite his lack of experience. He is very creative and I can see that while working with him in the same team. He even attends a class on Sunday these days to learn some marketing skills. I know it’s hard to find the ideal person to handle this job on a short meeting. We’ll meet here again on next Friday at 9:00. We must have a clear decision before Sunday. 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A TechForward is looking for local residents to test its new smart home assistant, a voice-controlled device designed to help users manage daily tasks such as setting reminders, controlling lights, checking the weather, and playing music.

A seasoned volunteer, he has been singing in care homes since he was six. Ted’s charm has won over many in the audience, particularly the older ladies. But it’s not for everyone. Jeanette Hodes, 92, offers an impatient “come on, get on with it,” and leans back in her chair. On a nearby trolley a cat’s cradle (翻花绳) has caught her eye. The string is quickly brought over to her. Soon enough she is transported to the playground of her youth, offering cheerfully-recalled anecdotes from when she learnt double dutch with friends as her mother could not afford to buy her a Sindy doll. Looking on fondly is Jill Fraser, 68, the founder of Kissing it Better (KiB), a charity working to reduce isolation in the elderly through intergenerational friendships. Fraser is making her way around the room with a trolley of assorted old treasures. A faded Beatrix Potter hardback, Jackie magazine and biography of Lord Mountbatten are piled on top of one another. Fraser’s team of volunteers prepared the items as recollection is thought to be a powerful tool for striking up much-needed conversation in the elderly. Anna Giannotti, 63, an art psychotherapist who is paid for a few hours a week by KiB, says, “Sometimes the elderly are hesitant to get involved, but often when they do get involved, they just become their complete selves. I feel very humbled. It could be any of us in the future.” The youngest volunteer of the day, Mariella Hafalla, 16, finds the frankness of the older generation refreshing. “I really enjoyed the session where we talked about what the residents did when they were younger,” she says. “I found out how people used to go outside all of the time but now we are all online so it has helped me realize the importance of going outside.” 24. What brings Jeanette Hodes back to her youth? A. Buying a Sindy doll. B. Learning double dutch. C. Listening to Ted’s songs. D. Playing with a cat’s cradle. 25. Why does Fraser go around the room with the trolley? A. To offer topics that may encourage interaction. B. To check whether the elderly can recall the past. C. To collect personal belongings from the residents. D. To show volunteers how to interact with old people. 26. What is Anna Giannotti’s attitude towards the elderly? A. Curious. B. Grateful. C. Empathetic. D. Protective. 27. Which phrase most closely reflects KiB’s approach? A. Activity over talk. B. Memory as a bridge. C. Service with a smile. D. Care through exercise. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国慈善机构Kissing it Better通过怀旧物品与跨代互动，帮助养老院老人缓解孤独、重拾自我的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“On a nearby trolley a cat’s cradle has caught her eye. The string is quickly brought over to her. Soon enough she is transported to the playground of her youth.(在附近的一辆手推车上，一个翻花绳游戏引起了她的注意。绳子很快就被拿到她面前。没过多久，她仿佛回到了自己儿时的游乐场)”可知，翻花绳让Jeanette Hodes回忆起了儿时时光。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fraser is making her way around the room with a trolley of assorted old treasures. A faded Beatrix Potter hardback, Jackie magazine and biography of Lord Mountbatten are piled on top of one another. Fraser’s team of volunteers prepared the items as recollection is thought to be a powerful tool for striking up much-needed conversation in the elderly.(弗雷泽推着装满各式各样老旧珍藏品的手推车，在房间里缓步走动。一本封面褪色的碧翠丝・波特精装绘本、《杰基》杂志，还有一本蒙巴顿勋爵传记，层层叠叠堆在手推车上。弗雷泽的志愿者团队准备了这些物品，因为人们认为回忆是在老年人中展开急需的交谈的有力工具。)” 可知，Fraser推着小推车是为了提供能唤起回忆、促进老人交流的话题。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Anna说的话“Sometimes the elderly are hesitant to get involved, but often when they do get involved, they just become their complete selves. I feel very humbled. It could be any of us in the future.(有时候，老年人会对参与其中犹豫不决，但当他们真的参与进来时，往往就能完全展现自我。我深感谦卑。未来我们任何人都可能如此)”可知，她对老人充满共情、理解。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“recollection is thought to be a powerful tool for striking up much-needed conversation in the elderly(回忆被认为是一种强大的工具，有助于老年人开启急需的交流。)”可知，该机构的做法是以记忆为桥梁。故选B。 C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 29. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 30. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 31. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明，通过戏剧方式教授莎士比亚作品能提升孩子的读写能力和情感理解力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.(这位来自埃文河畔斯特拉特福德的文法学校男生再次成为头条新闻，此前一项突破性的研究表明，莎士比亚确实有益于儿童的读写能力和情感发展，但前提是他们能把他演出来)”以及第二段中“The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding.(研究发现，以戏剧为基础的莎士比亚教学方法拓宽了孩子们的词汇量，提高了他们的写作质量，增强了他们的情感理解力)”可知，这项研究鼓励孩子们表演莎士比亚的作品。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not.(这项随机试验涉及45所公立小学的数百名五年级学生（9岁和10岁）。孩子们被分为目标组和对照组。两组都阅读了《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中的一段，并被要求以罗密欧的身份写一封信，讲述与朱丽叶分离后的感受。在写作之前，目标组参加了一个30分钟的以戏剧为基础的活动，而对照组没有)”可知，本段介绍了研究的参与对象、分组方式与具体实验步骤，即介绍了研究的过程。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly.(O’Hanlon说，最让她惊讶的是孩子们写作中表现出的情感理解力，他们表现出更深的同理心，更生动地表达情感)”可知，O’Hanlon对目标组写作印象最深刻的是情感深度。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding.(研究发现，以戏剧为基础的莎士比亚教学方法拓宽了孩子们的词汇量，提高了他们的写作质量，增强了他们的情感理解力)”以及倒数第二段中““It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added.(她补充道：“这可能与基于戏剧的过程有关，在这个过程中，你习惯于像角色一样思考和感受。”)”可推知，通过戏剧表演实践学习莎士比亚效果显著，体现“在实践中学习效果最佳”。故选B。 D It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000 streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, they discovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience: Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can’t reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow, consistent gains we’re more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance. Maybe it’s time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 32. What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? A. Unrealistic goals can lead to failure. B. Constant failures may cause frustration. C. Multitasking can not enhance productivity. D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 33. What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Repairable. B. Adaptable. C. Delicate. D. Analytical. 34. What happens during “transient hypofrontality”? A. You let down your guard. B. You exercise more self-regulation. C. You feel at one with the task. D. You experience a state of confusion. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits. B. The Key to Transformation: Consistency. C. How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth. D. Maintenance Mode: A Common Productivity Trap. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了持续努力可能无法带来真正进步，强调了高强度专注相较于稳定习惯的优势。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve.(现在是周日晚上，你正在回顾过去一周在五个不同目标上的进展，但没有一个真正取得进展。你锻炼了两次，读了20页商业书籍，与家人共度了美好时光，并坚持了冥想练习。根据生产力专家的说法，你做的每件事都是正确的。那么，为什么有意义的改变如此难以实现呢？)”可知，第一段描述的场景表明了尽管付出了持续的努力，但可能并未取得真正的进步。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge.(它们会发生变化，有时是戏剧性的变化，以反映新获得的技能和知识)”可知，大脑会发生变化以适应新技能和知识的获得，这表明大脑是可适应的，由此可知，malleable意为“可适应的”。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex, largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve.(研究发现，在高度专注的时期，我们的大脑会表现出短暂的前额叶功能低下。主要负责自我监控的前额叶皮层往往会安静下来，这与在“心流状态”中经常看到的情况相呼应，在心流状态中，自我和任务之间的界限消失了。)”可知，在“短暂前额叶功能低下”期间，前额叶皮层安静下来，自我和任务之间的界限消失，这表明你感觉与任务融为一体。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了持续努力可能无法带来真正的进步，而高强度专注则具有催化作用，能够推动大脑发生显著变化，从而实现真正的转变。文章通过对比持续努力和高强度专注的效果，强调了高强度专注的优势，因此选项A“为什么高强度专注胜过稳定的习惯”最能概括文章的主旨，适合作为标题。故选A。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 My journey with skateboarding began in 1975, and I was immediately hooked (吸引). For my 11th birthday, my father bought me my first board. It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise. ____36____ This early experience taught me that passion isn’t about having the best equipment, but about the feeling it gives you. Soon enough, I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder, a popular magazine back then, and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together. ____37____ The sense of shared freedom was transformative, especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports. ____38____ At one point, a friend who was a student at York, north of the city, suggested we try the tunnels at the university. Yet, we found them closed, which only pushed me to explore other places — empty parking lots, quiet office parks, and smooth pathways. The joy I got from these experiences never left me. As I grew older, my relationship with skateboarding matured. I created a website called SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. ____39____ From there, I eventually built a career in publishing at skateboarding magazines. Now, with a family of my own, that passion rides on. I introduced all my children to skateboarding almost as soon as they could walk. The full-circle moment of seeing my sons surpass my own ability is a pride unlike any other. I know some journeys, when you stick with them, don’t end. ____40____ A. I realized I needed much better equipment. B. They just find new, beautiful paths forward. C. It inspired me to write a book, The Concrete Wave. D. That was when I decided to quit and try other sports. E. Yet, none of that mattered when I felt the freedom of the ride. F. We built skating tracks and spent hours riding down driveways. G. In 1983, my skateboard accompanied me to university in Toronto. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与滑板运动的不解之缘，从初识滑板到成为生活的一部分，再到传承给下一代的故事。 【36题详解】 上文“It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise.(它有廉价的粘土轮子，摇晃、颠簸，发出很大的噪音)”说明作者的第一块滑板质量很差，使用体验不佳。空处和前文为转折关系，说明尽管设备不好，但滑行的自由感让一切都不重要，所以E选项“然而，当我感受到骑行的自由时，这些都不重要了”。故选E。 【37题详解】 上文“Soon enough, I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder, a popular magazine back then, and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together.(很快，我就发现自己把每一期《滑板手》杂志都读了一遍，那是一本当时很受欢迎的杂志，我们社区到处都是一起滑板的孩子们)”说明街区有很多孩子一起滑滑板。空处和前文为顺接关系，具体说明孩子们一起滑滑板的活动，所以F选项“我们建了滑板赛道，花了好几个小时沿着车道滑行”符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 下文“At one point, a friend who was a student at York, north of the city, suggested we try the tunnels at the university.(有一次，一个在城北约克大学读书的朋友建议我们去试试大学里的隧道)”提到了大学相关内容。空处总起该段，引出大学时期的滑板经历。G选项“1983年，我的滑板陪我来到了多伦多的大学”，符合语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“I created a website called SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.(我创建了一个名为SkateGeezer的网站，专门为那些在20世纪60年代、70年代和80年代滑过滑板的人服务)”说明作者创建了相关滑板网站。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明网站带来的后续创作，C选项“它激励我写了一本书《混凝土波浪》”符合语境，该项中的it指代前文中的“a website called SkateGeezer”。故选C。 【40题详解】 上文“I know some journeys, when you stick with them, don’t end.(我知道有些旅程，只要你坚持下去，就不会结束)”说明作者认为热爱的旅程不会结束。空处承接前文，进一步解释旅程的延续方式。B选项“他们只是找到了新的、美好的前进道路”符合语境。故选B。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 From popular tracks to remote valleys, weary hikers can always find a hut (小屋) to rest in New Zealand’s countryside.

It wasn’t because he never tried. His father taught him one summer when he was seven. He ran alongside him, holding the seat, and shouting “Keep pedalling (踩踏板)!” But Mark’s balance was terrible. He fell into the bushes, and both knees bled. After two weeks of trying, his dad sighed, “Maybe next year.” But that “next year” never came. The childhood shame stayed with him. Then, he grew up and had a family of his own. He never shared the secret with anyone but his wife, Lena. Most of the time, it didn’t matter. When friends invited him on bike trips, he volunteered to drive and bring snacks. When the kids were old enough to learn to ride, Lena offered to teach them. But lately, his twelve-year-old daughter Alice and seven-year-old son Bob were planning the first-ever “Family Bike Adventure.” They had picked a campsite (营地) by the lake and mapped a biking route around it. Every night, they’d argue about who would win the family race. Mark smiled through every conversation, but inside, his stomach tightened. In every other way, Mark was a perfect dad. He never missed a school event and could fix everything in the house. Admitting he couldn’t ride? That was hard. So he made a plan. After the kids went to bed, he slipped out and wheeled a bike to the empty market parking lot to practise. But thirty years after that summer, his body still remembered nothing. The bike seemed to have a mind of its own, and he just couldn’t control it. His legs shook. His hands ached. Sometimes he would crash into the wall. The next day, Alice, a considerate girl, asked about his bruised (淤青的) knees. But he said nothing. After several nights, Lena said to him, “You don’t have to do this. The kids don’t care. No one can do everything.” Mark shook his head. “They think I can. Let me try a little longer.” One night, after he fell off the bike again, he heard a voice. “Dad?” His heart stopped. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. She happened to see him leave at night and the bruises on his knees made her worried. “Dad, what are you doing?” she asked. Mark picked up the bike slowly and asked her to sit down with him. Then he told her everything — the summer at seven, the years of excuses, the fear of letting them down. Alice listened quietly. When he finished, he felt a little embarrassed. But Alice just hugged him. “Dad, we don’t care whether you can ride,” she whispered. “We just want you to be with us.” Mark hugged her back, his throat tight. “Okay,” he said softly. “Of course, I’ll be there.” (107词) That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. He set up the tent, lit the campfire, and started cooking dinner: steak, chicken wings, hot dogs, hot chocolate — everything the kids loved. An hour later, the kids came riding back, tired and hungry. “Daddy! I’m starving!” Bob shouted, grabbing a piece of steak. Alice drank the hot chocolate, leaning against him. “You are the best dad in the world,” she whispered. That night, watching his children sleep soundly, Mark smiled. He couldn’t ride a bike. But he could take good care of the family. And that was enough.

B At Cheverton Lodge Care Home, festive jingling breaks out from 17-year-old Ted Mayer’s speaker and he launches into his Christmas set. A seasoned volunteer, he has been singing in care homes since he was six. Ted’s charm has won over many in the audience, particularly the older ladies. But it’s not for everyone. Jeanette Hodes, 92, offers an impatient “come on, get on with it,” and leans back in her chair. On a nearby trolley a cat’s cradle (翻花绳) has caught her eye. The string is quickly brought over to her. Soon enough she is transported to the playground of her youth, offering cheerfully-recalled anecdotes from when she learnt double dutch with friends as her mother could not afford to buy her a Sindy doll. Looking on fondly is Jill Fraser, 68, the founder of Kissing it Better (KiB), a charity working to reduce isolation in the elderly through intergenerational friendships. Fraser is making her way around the room with a trolley of assorted old treasures. A faded Beatrix Potter hardback, Jackie magazine and biography of Lord Mountbatten are piled on top of one another. Fraser’s team of volunteers prepared the items as recollection is thought to be a powerful tool for striking up much-needed conversation in the elderly. Anna Giannotti, 63, an art psychotherapist who is paid for a few hours a week by KiB, says, “Sometimes the elderly are hesitant to get involved, but often when they do get involved, they just become their complete selves. I feel very humbled. It could be any of us in the future.” The youngest volunteer of the day, Mariella Hafalla, 16, finds the frankness of the older generation refreshing. “I really enjoyed the session where we talked about what the residents did when they were younger,” she says. “I found out how people used to go outside all of the time but now we are all online so it has helped me realize the importance of going outside.” 24. What brings Jeanette Hodes back to her youth? A. Buying a Sindy doll. B. Learning double dutch. C. Listening to Ted’s songs. D. Playing with a cat’s cradle. 25. Why does Fraser go around the room with the trolley? A. To offer topics that may encourage interaction. B. To check whether the elderly can recall the past. C.

C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 29. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 30. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 31. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. D It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000 streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, they discovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience: Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can’t reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow, consistent gains we’re more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance. Maybe it’s time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 32. What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? A. Unrealistic goals can lead to failure. B. Constant failures may cause frustration. C. Multitasking can not enhance productivity. D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 33. What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Repairable. B. Adaptable. C. Delicate. D. Analytical. 34. What happens during “transient hypofrontality”? A. You let down your guard. B. You exercise more self-regulation. C. You feel at one with the task. D. You experience a state of confusion. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits. B. The Key to Transformation: Consistency. C. How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth. D. Maintenance Mode: A Common Productivity Trap. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 My journey with skateboarding began in 1975, and I was immediately hooked (吸引). For my 11th birthday, my father bought me my first board. It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise. ____36____ This early experience taught me that passion isn’t about having the best equipment, but about the feeling it gives you. Soon enough, I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder, a popular magazine back then, and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together. ____37____ The sense of shared freedom was transformative, especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports. ____38____ At one point, a friend who was a student at York, north of the city, suggested we try the tunnels at the university. Yet, we found them closed, which only pushed me to explore other places — empty parking lots, quiet office parks, and smooth pathways. The joy I got from these experiences never left me. As I grew older, my relationship with skateboarding matured. I created a website called SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. ____39____ From there, I eventually built a career in publishing at skateboarding magazines. Now, with a family of my own, that passion rides on. I introduced all my children to skateboarding almost as soon as they could walk.

I realized I needed much better equipment. B. They just find new, beautiful paths forward. C. It inspired me to write a book, The Concrete Wave. D. That was when I decided to quit and try other sports. E. Yet, none of that mattered when I felt the freedom of the ride. F. We built skating tracks and spent hours riding down driveways. G.

It wasn’t because he never tried. His father taught him one summer when he was seven. He ran alongside him, holding the seat, and shouting “Keep pedalling (踩踏板)!” But Mark’s balance was terrible. He fell into the bushes, and both knees bled. After two weeks of trying, his dad sighed, “Maybe next year.” But that “next year” never came. The childhood shame stayed with him. Then, he grew up and had a family of his own. He never shared the secret with anyone but his wife, Lena. Most of the time, it didn’t matter. When friends invited him on bike trips, he volunteered to drive and bring snacks. When the kids were old enough to learn to ride, Lena offered to teach them. But lately, his twelve-year-old daughter Alice and seven-year-old son Bob were planning the first-ever “Family Bike Adventure.” They had picked a campsite (营地) by the lake and mapped a biking route around it. Every night, they’d argue about who would win the family race. Mark smiled through every conversation, but inside, his stomach tightened. In every other way, Mark was a perfect dad. He never missed a school event and could fix everything in the house. Admitting he couldn’t ride? That was hard. So he made a plan. After the kids went to bed, he slipped out and wheeled a bike to the empty market parking lot to practise. But thirty years after that summer, his body still remembered nothing. The bike seemed to have a mind of its own, and he just couldn’t control it. His legs shook. His hands ached. Sometimes he would crash into the wall. The next day, Alice, a considerate girl, asked about his bruised (淤青的) knees. But he said nothing. After several nights, Lena said to him, “You don’t have to do this. The kids don’t care. No one can do everything.” Mark shook his head. “They think I can. Let me try a little longer.” One night, after he fell off the bike again, he heard a voice. “Dad?” His heart stopped. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Why did you set the alarm so early?
