The South Florida natives are regular racing partners who have competed in marathon events around the world to become one of the first Duo Teams — one athlete pushing the other in a wheelchair — to complete six Abbott World Marathon Majors together. Michael, 32, was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). “I saw other people doing all these races,” he said. “And I told my dad, ‘I want to do it too.’” So Michael competed in his first duathlon — a race with both biking and running — with his dad, Jim Sayih, as his partner. “We crashed a few times during the 30K bike ride, and I thought he was never going to want to do this ever again,” Jim said. But he said, “Hey Dad, there’s a 5K coming up. I want to do that one.” That tenacity (坚韧) has stuck with Michael. He’s gone on to do countless races — as seen from the many medals hanging in his bedroom. It was through Special Compass, a nonprofit which helps people with disabilities compete in athletic events, that Max met Michael. Max’s mom had passed away in 2017, and he decided to honor her by running the New York City Marathon — something his mom once did. “As I was training for that race, I met Michael,” he said. “There was a Special Compass 5K in Coral Gables and I went there and just got paired with him by chance.” And Michael’s spirit reminded Max of the person he was racing for: his mom. “I definitely think it was a sign from my mom. She brought Michael and me together,” he said. “It was so much part of who she was. She was energetic and maintained a positive attitude toward life, always focusing on the good rather than the bad. That’s exactly how Michael lives his life.” Since that first 5K race, Max and Michael have regularly partnered together for races, with Max biking or running while pulling or pushing Michael, who will often keep him in check. “Michael is always smiling, but then he starts to ask me if I’m doing OK, and as soon as he says ’Max, are you doing OK?’, it means I’ve slowed down,” Max laughed. When asked how it feels to compete in these marathons with Max, Michael said, “It feels amazing...It feels like my wheelchair is gone.” 40. Why did Michael decide to participate in the races? A. He wanted to socialize more. B. He was inspired by other racers. C. He was encouraged by his father. D. He hoped to set an example for others. 41. What did Michael have in common with Max’s mom, according to Max? A. They both shared a positive outlook on life. B. They both enjoyed participating in marathons. C. They both had experience with serious illnesses. D. They both committed themselves to helping others. 42. What can be inferred from Michael’s question “Max, are you doing OK?” A. Michael’s cheerfulness reveals his sincere care for Max’s condition. B. Michael uses indirect questions to tell Max to be mindful of his pace. C. Michael’s constant smile masks his worry about Max’s performance. D. Michael pretends to be concerned to indirectly criticise Max’s slowness. 43. How does Michael feel during the races with Max? A. Tired but satisfied. B. Nervous but excited. C. Free and wonderful. D. Proud and honored. 44. What is the main intention of the author in writing this passage? A. To highlight the significance of marathon racing for personal remembrance. B. To celebrate the achievements of disabled athletes in global marathon events. C. To promote the role of non-profit organizations in supporting adaptive sports. D. To illustrate how shared ambition and mutual inspiration overcome obstacles. C Humans naturally tend to think in a self-centered way, a tendency more common than we often realize. This self-centered bias, or egocentrism, can sometimes help but often makes us misunderstand others and harms our social interactions. One of the key insights into egocentrism comes from research by Lisa DeBruine at the University of Aberdeen. In her studies, volunteers were more likely to trust individuals who were like, or resembled, themselves. This phenomenon, rooted in the familiarity that such resemblance brings, suggests that people tend to be drawn to those who look like them because it creates a sense of comfort and trust. However, this bias also means that we may favor those who share our appearance over others, leading to partial judgments in diverse social situations. The work of Jason Mitchell at Harvard University further explores this egocentric bias, particularly in how we perceive those who we consider similar to ourselves. Mitchell’s studies used virtual characters with varying backgrounds, and he found that people are more likely to project their emotions, beliefs, and attitudes onto characters they perceive as similar, even when the similarities are surface-level. This projection is a mental shortcut that helps us manage complicated social situations, allowing us to quickly assess others based on perceived commonalities. However, this approach can lead to misunderstandings when we mistakenly believe that others share our exact viewpoints. Egocentric thinking, though useful in streamlining (简化) social interactions, often results in problematic judgments. For instance, just because someone shares our taste in music or political views doesn’t necessarily mean they share our broader values or emotional responses. This can lead to misguided assumptions and potentially tense relationships when our expectations are unmet. It becomes clear that while egocentric thinking helps us make sense of the world quickly, it also limits our ability to fully understand others. To address these issues, it’s essential to be aware of our own biases. Recognizing the limitations of egocentric thinking allows us to approach social interactions with more empathy and accuracy. By acknowledging that others may think and feel differently, we can develop deeper, more meaningful connections. In a world where social understanding is increasingly important, being mindful of our natural tendencies toward self-centeredness can help us build better relationships and enhance our social well-being. 45. What is one consequence of egocentric thinking in social contexts? A. It sharpens our insight into others’ emotional worlds. B. It guarantees appropriate responses in complex situation. C. It effectively prevents potential conflicts among strangers. D. It causes favouritism to those who resemble us physically. 46. What can be inferred about egocentric thinking from the text? A. It is an inborn trait that humans have developed through evolution. B. It serves as a double-edged sword in handling social relations. C. It simplifies our thoughts but complicates our emotions. D. It ensures accurate judgment in familiar surroundings. 47. Why does the author mention “music taste” or “political views” in Para.4? A. To show how people choose their friends in real life. B. To prove that shared hobbies strengthen relationships. C. To illustrate that surface similarities can be misleading. D. To explain why social interactions are becoming complex. 48. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Remain conscious of the impact of self-centeredness. B. Try to completely get rid of egocentric thoughts. C. Accept the fact that bias is unavoidable in life. D. Apply biased thinking to improve efficiency. 49. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of empathy in overcoming self-centered biases. B. The benefits of recognizing diverse perspectives in social interactions. C. The history and development of psychological research on egocentrism. D. The impact of egocentric thinking on social judgments and relationships. D In the 20th century, progress was defined purely by growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). It was believed that such growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. Politicians and economists claimed that solutions to poverty and pollution relied on never-ending growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. Growth is a natural phase of life, which is why people love to see children and trees grow. This biological affection led the West to adopt the mantra (准则) that “more is better”. Yet, nature demonstrates that nothing grows forever. Anything seeking infinite expansion will eventually destroy itself or its supporting system. Success lies in maturing, not just expanding. As biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus notes, a tree stops growing once it can no longer efficiently transport nutrients to the outermost tips of its branches. Its growth is bounded by a greater goal: sustaining the health of the whole organism. Despite this biological truth, our economies struggle to accept limits. The 20th-century abundance of cheap fossil fuels normalized rapid growth, making it seem natural and essential. Consequently, institutions and policies were designed to depend on permanent expansion. In other words, we have inherited economies that require growth regardless of whether or not it actually improves human thriving. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to restart growth when it becomes elusive (难以实现). Instead of pursuing excessive (过度的) growth, we must abandon this obsession and pursue well-being for all as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a novel conception of progress — replacing endless growth with a dynamic balance, one that meets the needs of every person while protecting our planetary home. Addressing inequality must be central to this new eco-social contract. Greater fairness reduces the national ecological footprint by restricting excessive consumption and prevents the dangerous concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few. By shifting focus from growth to distribution, we can build a regenerative economy. To achieve this, we must design policies that serve social and ecological well-being. A low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation should be guaranteed, supported by measures like personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. These ideas were once considered too radical (激进的) to be realistic. Today they are nothing less than essential. 50. The author cites the tree as an example in Para.2 to ______. A. show that the view “more is better” also applies to nature B. suggest that economic growth differs from natural growth C. explain how trees balance growth and resource distribution D. illustrate that unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable 51. What is the fundamental fault of the 20th-century economic mindset? A. It ignored the physical restrictions of energy and natural resources. B. It overestimated the role of technology in industrial production. C. It focused on quantitative increase regardless of qualitative boost. D. It failed to distribute resources fairly among different nations. 52. The underlined phrase “This requirement” in Para.3 refers to ______. A. the creation of institutional designs and policies B. the necessity of rapid economic growth at any cost C. the need for cheaper and more cost-effective energy D. the recognition of the limits of growth in economies 53. Which best describes the author’s tone when mentioning “desperate and often destructive measures”? A. Mild skepticism. B. Cautious optimism. C. Moral anger. D. Scientific judgement. 54. How does the concept of “dynamic balance” differ from “endless growth”? A. It prioritizes environmental protection over human needs. B. It accepts periodical contraction to maintain long stability. C. It relies on government intervention to control markets. D. It promotes rapid innovation to solve resource shortages. 55. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To list specific technical solutions for environmental problems. B. To argue that radical ideas are now mainstream due to urgency. C. To justify the practical value of the proposed eco-social contract. D. To criticize governments for being too slow in adopting new policies. 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for my city-raised kids. The plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids might sound crazy, but I held tight to my own childhood outback memories: endless roads, starlit skies, and tales of mysterious creatures. For most of the journey, we felt annoyed: arguments over the window seat, complaints about sore legs and constant “how much longer?” questions. At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there, but stumbled (支支吾吾) when they asked if it ate kids. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six — I hadn’t expected them to find wonder in such simple things. They whispered in awe as a white egret (白鹭) glided across the water, and laughed when a frog leaped onto the wooden railing. That night, they pressed their faces to the motel window, just to watch the night trains roll past. In their eyes, everything was new and I was carried by their joy. Three days later, we arrived in Broken Hill. I dragged the kids to the mineral museum, feeling afraid that the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they lit up comparing colorful ore (矿石) samples to their Minecraft blocks. They ran their fingers over jagged crystals and begged for tiny mineral keychains. I bought them each one. The trip wasn’t perfect: hard mattresses, lukewarm showers, and a flat tire that delayed us an hour. But on Easter morning, I hid hand-painted eggs around our cheap room. The kids scrambled under the bed, dug through the dresser, and even checked the ice bucket — letting out joyful cries when they found each one. As I watched them share a chocolate egg, I realized I’d been trying to teach them about the outback’s vastness, but they’d taught me something better: a painted egg in a plain room can feel more like a gift than any grand view. 56. Why did the author organize a trip to the outback? (no more than 10 words) 57. What does the underlined phrase in Para.3 probably mean? (no more than 3 words) 58. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words) 59. What does the author learn from the children in the last paragraph? (no more than 15 words) 60. What do you expect from travel? Please explain.
