Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下·上海市黄浦区格致中学·期末)
Taylor works full-time in the cleaning department while co-parenting his 10-year-old son. Ada, a cancer survivor, was enduring the miserable treatment. Mohammad was kicked out of prep school, then 1 for 100 days from high school for selling chocolate to his classmates. Emanuel was 2 a three-year sentence for armed robbery.
These are not the profiles of students who get admitted to a classic university-run honors college. 3 , they are enrolled at the Honors Living-Learning Community of Rutgers University-Newark, an institution where they and others with similarly 4 life stories are pushing the boundaries of what defines an honors college by emphasizing courage in overcoming life’s difficulties, rather than 5 .
Across the United States, the continuous drive for reputation has generated the 6 in the number of honors colleges. Nearly 900 schools, almost all being public universities and community colleges belong to the National Collegiate Honors Council. Among them, it is usually a brilliant idea for an institution to 7 applicants whose top-of-the-class high-school records and SAT scores would assure a renowned private university. The bait (诱饵) is the honors college, which promises the intimate feel of a small college within a(n) 8 state school. The students in these honors colleges, mostly white and middle-class, receive concierge treatment (礼宾待遇) with considerable scholarships, separate housing, special seminars, faculty mentors, research opportunities and first crack at courses in high demand.
However, things are 9 at the Honors Living-Learning Community, which mainly enrolls black and Latino students–nearly twice as many as the total of black and Latino undergraduates in the rest of Rutgers-Newark’s programs. Their high-school grades and SAT scores are lower than the campus average. While academic skill 10 in determining who gets selected, the emphasis is on these students’ perseverance, their drive to learn and their passion for social justice.
Every 11 of the honors program comes straight from the book on how to engage undergraduates 12 , and minority students in particular. The students receive scholarships that cover their living expenses well as tuition. Without this 13 , most couldn’t enroll full-time, and evidence shows that part-time students are far less likely to graduate. A 14 number of community college graduates are admitted, which gives 18-year-olds, fresh out of high school, an opportunity to learn from peers with more life 15 .

Frankenstein
On a stormy night in 1815, a young, 18-year-old girl had a 16 nightmare. The nightmare was terrible, but it gave her an idea for a tale — a tale that would become the most recognized 17 story in the world: the story of Frankenstein's monster.
The author's name was Mary Shelley (1797 — 1851). Her novel describes the trials of an 18 young scientist, Dr Frankenstein, who uses his knowledge to bring an inanimate body to life, but then 19 the shocking “monster” he creates. At the time of writing, the story was a powerful warning 20 scientific advances and is the Industrial Revolution, which was about 21 across Europe. Many artists and writers were concerned 22 this industrialization and the effect it would have 23 man's relationship with nature. They saw danger in the new scientific advances.
Volume 1, Chapter 4
It was on a dreary night in November that I completed my work. With an anxiety that almost 24 to pain, I collected the instruments of life around me that I might add a small amount of being to the lifeless thing that 25 at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain fell dismally against the windows, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the failing light, I saw the yellow eye of the 26 open; it breathed hard, and a sudden movement disturbed its arms and legs.
How can I describe my emotions at this disaster, or how to describe the terrible creature I had tried to form? His arms and legs were in proportion, and I had selected his 27 as beautiful.
Beautiful! His yellow skin 28 covered the muscles beneath; his hair was black and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness that formed a horrible contrast with his watery eyes, his 29 face and straight black mouth.
I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the only purpose of breathing life into an inanimate body. For this I had 30 myself of rest and health, but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream disappeared, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市建平中学·期末)
No, You Don’t Get an A Just for Effort
After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in the book from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.”
High marks are for 31 , not grit (硬扛,死磕). In the past, students understood that hard work was not sufficient; an A required great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for 32 at (most) classes.
This isn’t Gen Z’s fault. It’s the result of a(n) 33 about one of the most popular educational theories.
More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck published groundbreaking experiments that changed how many parents and teachers talk to kids. Praising kids for their abilities 34 their resilience (韧劲), making them more likely to give up when they encountered setbacks. To persist and learn in the face of challenges, kids needed to believe that abilities and skills are 35 , and the best way to nurture this growth mindset was to shift from praising intelligence to effort. This idea quickly made its way into viral articles, best-selling books and popular TED talks.
Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort cultivates a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. That’s especially 36 for students who weren’t born into comfort or don’t have a record of achievement. 37 , the problem is that we’ve taken the practice of celebrating hard work. We are treating it as an end in itself. We’ve taught a generation of kids that their worth is defined 38 by their work ethic. That does great harm to the students.
One study found that if there wasn’t a time limit, the higher people scored on their own 39 , the more likely they were to stick to a task they will never accomplish. This is what worries me most about valuing perseverance above all else: It can motivate people to stick with a bad 40 instead of developing better ones. With students, a textbook example is pulling all-nighters rather than spacing out their studying over a few days.
Teachers and parents owe kids a more 41 message. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. Motivation is only one of multiple variables (变量) in the achievement equation (等式). Ability, opportunity and luck 42 , too.
The ideal 43 to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. It’s to ask how you could make your investment 44 better. Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times it’s working on something else altogether.
Every teacher should support students to succeed. In my classes, I make it clear that my goal is to give as many A’s as possible. But they’re earned through mastering all. The true 45 of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you take out.

Don’t Hibernate
AH, WINTER, the season of roast dinners and heated blankets. Not so much time for getting up early to hit the gym, going for a run in the evening darkness, or even taking a brief walk at lunch time. The evidence confirms what you probably 46 . In winter, most people tend to spend more time in a sedentary (久坐的) way. Does that mean we casual exercisers are fated to 47 in the icy months, or are there ways to address it? And does anything about the colder, darker months actually make maintaining our 48 easier?
First of all, it is helpful for you to make the effort during winter, even if you are not 49 about your six-pack (发达的腹肌). Seasonal affective disorder (properly abbreviated as SAD), which is often linked to reduced 50 to sunlight during the shorter winter days, may affect not just mood but your health as well. While exercise is not a cure-all, studies suggest that it can help to 51 the mood disorder.
Are there benefits to training in cold weather? This is 52 . For years, it was assumed that bodies burn more calories in the cold to keep warm, while also helping the body’s-white fat to take on the properties of brown fat, which 53 as a fuel to maintain body temperature. However, just how beneficial the process can be is open to 54 .
Still, the benefits of exercise make it more than worth toughing out the odd pre-dawn alarm. But how do you get it done? “My top tip would be to either use your commute (通勤) to get your workout in, or make sure you get out again as soon as you get home,” says running coach Havley Hemmings. “I’d also 55 teaming up with someone so you’re accountable to go for a run.”
Of course, if training outdoors does not sound like fun, even when you are 56 up, there are other options. Walking 4,000 steps a day, for example, can significantly reduce your risk of all-cause mortality (死亡率). At the other end of the range, a short, sharp 57 of high-intensity interval training can boost your mood while helping to reduce fat. If you are not used to training, an entry-level 58 is the Timmons Method, or 20 seconds of squats (深蹲) or kettlebell (壶铃) swings work, followed by two minutes of active recovery (just moving around) repeated a few times.
And finally, don’t 59 the importance of your mood on getting you to work out in the first place. There is fairly strong evidence that 60 vitamin D can positively affect your mood, and it is nearly impossible to get enough from the sun in winter. Get a supplement (补充剂) — and don’t be afraid to chase it with roast dinners.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市徐汇区南洋中学·期末)
Nobody loves a dirty rat, right? But what about an African giant pouched rat, a Goliath-sized rodent (啮齿动物) weighing 1.5-2kg (three to four times the size of our own brown rat) and 61 to the grasslands of southern Africa?
Over the past 25 years, these giant rats — known as ‘hero rats’ by the people who train them — have been used to 62 deadly landmines and tuberculosis pathogens (结合病原体) in medical samples. Now, there’s even more reason to love these rodents—they could play an important role in 63 the illegal wildlife trade, thanks to their amazing sense of smell.
Research by scientists from the non-profit group APOPO shows that giant rats can spot samples of elephant ivory, rhino horn, pangolin scales, and African hardwood, even when these 64 wildlife products are mixed with non-target items.
Law enforcement already uses high-tech scanners and detection dogs. So why rats? Senior scientist Isabelle Szott explains they have 65 over traditional methods. First, a rat costs $8,000 to train versus up to $30,000 for a dog. Airport scanners can cost 66 from $30,000 to $1.2 million.
“Their light weight is also an important 67 for detection,” says Szott. “Rats can be lifted to higher locations, like shipping containers’ airing systems.” 68 , rats can go where dogs cannot.
Dogs often need the same handler, while rats are less 69 , making them flexible. APOPO has successfully tested rats at Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam port. Now, they aim to expand globally. APOPO 70 with Tanzania’s Wildlife Authority, and Singapore and France have shown interest.
‘Hero rats’ doesn’t do them justice — they’re ‘super rats’!

How Do Fish Survive in Icy Waters?
Animals like seals, penguins, and a wide variety of sea birds are all fish eaters. They live in the Arctic and Antarctic Circle, among the icecaps. The land is completely frozen. Yet these animals 71 to live in this region. How do they do it?
The icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans 72 a great amount of marine life. For millions of years, life has remained unchanged, making it possible for these animals to 73 these particular patterns of existence.
But they do get some help from 74 . All liquids have a boiling point and a freezing point. When the outside temperature 75 below the freezing point of water, lakes and rivers get frozen. 76 , only the top layer of the lake or river freezes. Underneath the frozen upper layer, the water remains in its 77 form and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. 78 , fish and other marine animals find it possible to live comfortably in the frozen lakes and ponds.
But why doesn’t the entire body of water 79 , like a giant, lake-sized ice-cube?
During winter months in colder countries, the outside temperature is very low and the upper layers of water in the lakes and ponds start 80 . When the temperature of the surface layers falls to 4℃, the water body acquires maximum density and 81 . The water that drops down 82 the water below, and the lower layers of water simultaneously rise up. This also gets cooled to 4℃ and again falls down.
When the temperature of the water body finally goes below 4℃, the density or heaviness of water decreases and as a result water does not sink down. The 83 water finally freezes at 0℃while the lower part still remains at 4℃. The light frozen layer of ice floats on top.
Ice does not allow heat to pass through it easily, so the freezing of the waters below is a very 84 process. At depths below 30 metres, temperatures are cold and stable but food is scarce. As a result, certain species of flatfish and polar fish have a(n) 85 growing rate, so that they can adapt to this tough situation to survive.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市浦东新区建平中学·期末)
Cambridge Dictionary has put it out to the universe, naming “manifest” as its Word of the Year for 2024.
Popularized by celebrities such as singer Dua Lipa, “manifest” refers to the practice of using “methods such as visualization and affirmation to help you 86 achieving something you want, in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen,” the British dictionary publisher said in an announcement. Lipa has spoken about how she thinks manifestation has played a part in her success, helping to bring about 87 moments in her career, such as playing at the Glastonbury Festival—the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world—this year. “If you set an 88 , you think about it every single day of your life. For example, when I first started making music, I dreamed about the day that I would get asked to headline Glastonbury.” she said in an interview in April. “In a way, that is setting that idea, in the back of my mind,” she added. “I think it’s powerful.”
89 , US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has mentioned her use of manifestation after her mother started encouraging her to write down her goals. “You have to write it down, you have to speak it into 90 , you have to see it daily and then it usually happens.” she said in an interview in October.
Taken from Latin and French, in English the word “manifest” 91 meant “easily noticed or obvious” before it started to be used as a verb meaning “to show something clearly.” In the early 20th century, it started to be used to mean “to make something happen by internalizing it, intentionally or unintentionally.” according to Cambridge Dictionary.
This year marked manifesting’s move into the wider public 92 . In 2024, the word manifest 93 from being mainly used in the self-help community and on social media into being mentioned widely across mainstream media. The use of this sense of manifest has gained 94 with the increasing number of ‘manifesting influencers’ promoting this scientifically unproven practice on social media—so much so that it was added to the Cambridge Dictionary in May 2023.
The dictionary said the word has been looked up nearly 130,000 times on its website, making it one of its most 95 entries. Manifest won this year because it increased notably in lookups, its use widened greatly across all types of media, and it shows how the meanings of a word can 96 over time.
Other words on the 2024 shortlist include “brat,” inspired by the title of singer Charli XCX’s 2024 album. This year, Collins Dictionary named “brat” its Word of the Year, defining it as someone “ 97 by a confident, independent, and hedonistic (快乐主义的) attitude.”

Checking packages is unhealthy obsession
There’s a child-like joy that comes with ordering something online — whether it be clothes or kitchen gadgets. We sit 98 the U.S. Postal Service or FedEx pages to see when our items will arrive, and we become overly excited, hopeful and anxious. But why?
According to Owen O’Kane, a psychotherapist, even the smallest positive future events can 99 us when we’re feeling down. This is why people look forward to dinner reservations, hair appointments and yes, receiving packages.
But it’s not the purchase itself that arouses this happiness. Experts say there’s something about the 100 of a package arriving that is exciting for those in need of change in their lives.
When our package finally arrives, many of us are satisfied. But that initial excitement has probably 101 because our obsession with our parcel represents much more than the item we purchased.
For some, the arrival of a package may represent “an imagined positive future, where you can control your needs for a book or blouse,” making life feel more 102 and less dull. Waiting for a parcel can also serve as a temporary 103 from the boredom, giving you something new to look forward to.
“You’re distracting yourself from other feelings like anxiety, boredom. When you imagine a positive event in the future, you feel only joyful expectation. And tracking it down to the street of the delivery truck makes it even more 104 ” O’Kane says. Nevertheless, anticipation isn’t always a good thing.
People became angry recently when the U. S. Postal Service announced its slower delivery. And now, many are worried about items arriving late, appearing broken, or simply not 105 expectations.
This phenomenon is called pre-parcel anxiety and it’s more common than you would think. “We live in a society where we build expectations and 106 perfectionism. We want efficiency and 107 with patience,” O’Kane explains.
A delayed package may seem 108 to some. But for others, feeling hopeful and then being let down is angering and anxiety-provoking.
“We feel tricked, sometimes on a personal level. We all want fair transactions, and when we 109 and the other party drops the ball, anger is often the result,” O’Kane says, comparing it to “broken, ignored or forgotten” promises. 110 , O’Kane says these reactions are telling about more deep-rooted issues beyond a delayed package. “Anxiety is 111 to uncertainty, and many struggle with not having control. So it’s really 112 of something bigger, of the need to control everything and to be perfect.”

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市曹杨中学·期末)
If you survey American parents about what they want for their kids, more than 90 percent say one of their top priorities is that their children be caring. This makes sense: Kindness and concern for others are held as 113 in nearly every society. But when you ask children what their parents want for them, 81 percent say their parents 114 achievement and happiness over caring.
Kids learn what’s 115 to adults not by listening to what we say, but by noticing what gets our attention. And in many developed societies, parents now pay more attention to individual achievement and happiness than anything else. However much we 116 kindness and caring, we’re not actually showing our kids that we appreciate these traits.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, then, that kindness appears to be 117 . An analysis of annual surveys of American college students showed a substantial drop from 1979 to 2009 in imagining the perspectives of others. Over this period; students grew 118 to feel concern for people less fortunate than themselves.
It’s not just that people care less; they seem to be 119 less, too. In one experiment, a sociologist left thousands of what appeared to be lost letters in dozens of American cities in 2001, and again in 2011. From the first round to the second one, the proportion of letters that was 120 by passersby and put in a mailbox declined by 10 percent. Psychologists find that kids born after 1995 121 as much as their predecessors (前辈) that other people experiencing difficulty should be helped — but they feel less personal responsibility to take action themselves.
If we truly care less about one another, some of the 122 lies with the values parents have promoted. In our own lives, we’ve observed many parents becoming so focused on achievement that they 123 kindness.
Other parents discourage kindness, seeing it as a source of 124 in a fiercely competitive world. In some parenting circles, for example, there’s a movement against 125 when preschoolers are selfish in their play. These parents worry that stepping in might prevent kids from learning to stick up for themselves, and say that they’re less 126 the prospect of raising an adult who doesn’t share than one who struggles to say no. But there’s no reason parents can’t teach their kids to care about others and themselves — to be both 127 and self-respecting. If you encourage children to consider the needs and feelings of others, sometimes they will and sometimes they won’t. But they’ll soon learn that if you don’t treat others considerately, they may not be considerate toward you.

But both need to 129 and meet halfway.
It’s important to note that many successful relationships involve 130 . Planners bring structure, 131 and the comfort of predictability. Non-planners bring flexibility, adaptability and ways to handle the unexpected.
It’s no surprise that good communication is key in any relationship, especially between planners and free spirits. Planners may long for a sense of order and 132 about what’s coming up, while the non-planners prefer going with the moment. This doesn’t have to be a source of 133 . Instead, it can be an opportunity to discuss expectations openly.
While it’s true that no one should have to change their 134 to make a relationship work, compromise (妥协) can help. Rather than expecting anyone to 135 adopt the other’s way of doing things, consider finding a middle ground. For example, maybe the planner takes charge of the essentials, like booking a hotel for a weekend getaway, while the non-planner is free to suggest day-of activities 136 what feels right in the moment.
Planners might discover that they actually enjoy a touch of the unexpected. While unplanned moments can feel unsettling, they often lead to 137 experiences. Planners may also realize that they’re less 138 if they can let go a little, especially for small things.
139 , non-planners may see planning isn’t so bad. Having a few things set up can feel easier. And for big decisions, it’s reassuring to have a(n) 140 partner.
Even with understanding and compromise, your differences will sometimes 141 each other. When that happens, take a step back and remember what you appreciate about your partner’s style. These moments are normal -- they can actually 142 the strengths each of you bring to the partnership.
So, can opposites work? Yes, if you respect each other, stay open-minded, and find balance. The best relationships often are the ones that challenge us to see things from a new perspective.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市敬业中学·期末)
Throughout history, many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists (气象学家) and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for storms, with the hope of reducing the 143 of lives. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, which allow for better accuracy in 144 the paths of storms.
Meteorologists and scientists have been able to successfully track severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes by using an advanced tracking system called NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar). NEXRAD is a tracking network 145 158 Doppler weather radars. And during a storm this high-resolution computerized 146 takes readings on the amount of precipitation (降水) in the air, the movements in the clouds, and the wind speeds.
These 147 are bounced back to a local weather computer, and a colorful image appears on the screen,giving meteorologists a clear picture of what kind of weather is on the horizon. This final image is what you see when the meteorologist breaks in with severe weather reports and warnings. 148 , on your television screen you will see a computer animated image of the approaching storm.
If the storm is severe enough, then the National Weather Service (NWS) will 149 severe weather reports of severe thunderstorm warnings for your area. 150 , the storm captured on the radar will have produced strong readable winds, detectable lightning, and some hail (冰雹). Paying attention to the weather map is 151 when severe weather is around.
On the television screen you will see several colors on the precipitation map, 152 from blue (the lightest) to black (the heaviest). If the colors for your 153 area are yellow, take caution. If the colors range between orange and red, take cover immediately, as damaging winds and dangerous lightning have been reported.
When local weather radar in Atlanta, Georgia reported high winds, circular wind patterns and large hail earlier this year, the National Weather Service issued a tornado 154 . Meteorologists in the area used the collected data to predict what path the storm would take, 155 which areas needed to be warned.
Thanks to this technology, most residents received the severe weather reports early enough to seek 156 before the storm hit. Paying attention to your 157 weather source during severe weather plays a vital role in your safety.

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学·期末)
“It’s almost a moral duty that museums should be free,” said Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 2002, when a ticket to MOMA cost $12. In October MOMA started charging $30, the latest in a series of price 158 involving the Metropolitan Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and so on.
Higher energy and labour costs have pushed up ticket prices in Europe, too. Prices have remained 159 only in Asia and the Middle East, where museums are younger and state funding is especially generous.
Ticket fees may seem high, particularly in destination cities where tourists are 160 to be discouraged by spending a few more dollars. But whatever museums 161 , it is not covering their operating costs. The Association of Art Museum Directors reported in 2018 that ticket sales accounted on average for just 7% of total 162 at American art museums. Memberships contributed another 7%. The 163 of budgets usually come from charitable donations, grants and retail operations.
European museums are less 164 admissions fees, because they are often heavily subsidized (补助) by governments. All national institutions in Britain offer free admission, as do most state-run museums in China while in America some 30% are free. Some observers have repeated Mr Lowry’s call for museum to stop charging for 165 entirely.
166 price s go against museums’goal of sharing art with a more diverse public. They could also speed up the already steep decline in the share of Americans attending museums and galleries.
Declining public interest is a challenge for institutions that rely heavily on public support. Those who choose not to visit a museum today may be the people who 167 government subsidies or refuse to write personal cheques as sponsors in a few years. Those who spend time inside museums’galleries are more likely to grasp their richness and want to 168 their own riches in them.
Yet significantly reducing costs may not actually do much to 169 new audiences either. If tickets were free, “people who typically come anyway might come more often. 170 that, you’re not really changing your demographic (观众结构), says an economist who studies pricing in the arts. He 171 museums to the best American university: Harvard could afford to make tuition free for all, but many wealthy students who do not need the gift would be among the biggest beneficiaries(受益者). As museums throughout the West debate what price is right, most are unlikely to conclude the answer is 172 , “moral duty” or not.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下·上海市黄浦区格致中学·期末)
Taylor works full-time in the cleaning department while co-parenting his 10-year-old son. Ada, a cancer survivor, was enduring the miserable treatment. Mohammad was kicked out of prep school, then 1 for 100 days from high school for selling chocolate to his classmates. Emanuel was 2 a three-year sentence for armed robbery.
These are not the profiles of students who get admitted to a classic university-run honors college. 3 , they are enrolled at the Honors Living-Learning Community of Rutgers University-Newark, an institution where they and others with similarly 4 life stories are pushing the boundaries of what defines an honors college by emphasizing courage in overcoming life’s difficulties, rather than 5 .
Across the United States, the continuous drive for reputation has generated the 6 in the number of honors colleges. Nearly 900 schools, almost all being public universities and community colleges belong to the National Collegiate Honors Council. Among them, it is usually a brilliant idea for an institution to 7 applicants whose top-of-the-class high-school records and SAT scores would assure a renowned private university. The bait (诱饵) is the honors college, which promises the intimate feel of a small college within a(n) 8 state school. The students in these honors colleges, mostly white and middle-class, receive concierge treatment (礼宾待遇) with considerable scholarships, separate housing, special seminars, faculty mentors, research opportunities and first crack at courses in high demand.
However, things are 9 at the Honors Living-Learning Community, which mainly enrolls black and Latino students–nearly twice as many as the total of black and Latino undergraduates in the rest of Rutgers-Newark’s programs. Their high-school grades and SAT scores are lower than the campus average. While academic skill 10 in determining who gets selected, the emphasis is on these students’ perseverance, their drive to learn and their passion for social justice.
Every 11 of the honors program comes straight from the book on how to engage undergraduates 12 , and minority students in particular. The students receive scholarships that cover their living expenses well as tuition. Without this 13 , most couldn’t enroll full-time, and evidence shows that part-time students are far less likely to graduate. A 14 number of community college graduates are admitted, which gives 18-year-olds, fresh out of high school, an opportunity to learn from peers with more life 15 .
1.A.graduated B.abandoned C.prohibited D.suspended
2.A.reading B.serving C.passing D.escaping
3.A.Therefore B.Moreover C.Instead D.Similarly
4.A.faulty B.smooth C.meaningful D.interesting
5.A.social experience B.family backgrounds
C.academic performance D.human relationships
6.A.pursuit B.explosion C.exploit D.progress
7.A.tempt B.enroll C.introduce D.cultivate

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市建平中学·期末)
No, You Don’t Get an A Just for Effort
After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in the book from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.”
High marks are for 31 , not grit (硬扛,死磕). In the past, students understood that hard work was not sufficient; an A required great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for 32 at (most) classes.
This isn’t Gen Z’s fault. It’s the result of a(n) 33 about one of the most popular educational theories.
More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck published groundbreaking experiments that changed how many parents and teachers talk to kids. Praising kids for their abilities 34 their resilience (韧劲), making them more likely to give up when they encountered setbacks. To persist and learn in the face of challenges, kids needed to believe that abilities and skills are 35 , and the best way to nurture this growth mindset was to shift from praising intelligence to effort. This idea quickly made its way into viral articles, best-selling books and popular TED talks.
Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort cultivates a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. That’s especially 36 for students who weren’t born into comfort or don’t have a record of achievement. 37 , the problem is that we’ve taken the practice of celebrating hard work. We are treating it as an end in itself. We’ve taught a generation of kids that their worth is defined 38 by their work ethic. That does great harm to the students.
One study found that if there wasn’t a time limit, the higher people scored on their own 39 , the more likely they were to stick to a task they will never accomplish. This is what worries me most about valuing perseverance above all else: It can motivate people to stick with a bad 40 instead of developing better ones. With students, a textbook example is pulling all-nighters rather than spacing out their studying over a few days.
Teachers and parents owe kids a more 41 message. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. Motivation is only one of multiple variables (变量) in the achievement equation (等式). Ability, opportunity and luck 42 , too.
The ideal 43 to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. It’s to ask how you could make your investment 44 better. Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times it’s working on something else altogether.
Every teacher should support students to succeed. In my classes, I make it clear that my goal is to give as many A’s as possible. But they’re earned through mastering all. The true 45 of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you take out.

Don’t Hibernate
AH, WINTER, the season of roast dinners and heated blankets. Not so much time for getting up early to hit the gym, going for a run in the evening darkness, or even taking a brief walk at lunch time. The evidence confirms what you probably 46 . In winter, most people tend to spend more time in a sedentary (久坐的) way. Does that mean we casual exercisers are fated to 47 in the icy months, or are there ways to address it? And does anything about the colder, darker months actually make maintaining our 48 easier?
First of all, it is helpful for you to make the effort during winter, even if you are not 49 about your six-pack (发达的腹肌). Seasonal affective disorder (properly abbreviated as SAD), which is often linked to reduced 50 to sunlight during the shorter winter days, may affect not just mood but your health as well. While exercise is not a cure-all, studies suggest that it can help to 51 the mood disorder.
Are there benefits to training in cold weather? This is 52 . For years, it was assumed that bodies burn more calories in the cold to keep warm, while also helping the body’s-white fat to take on the properties of brown fat, which 53 as a fuel to maintain body temperature. However, just how beneficial the process can be is open to 54 .
Still, the benefits of exercise make it more than worth toughing out the odd pre-dawn alarm. But how do you get it done? “My top tip would be to either use your commute (通勤) to get your workout in, or make sure you get out again as soon as you get home,” says running coach Havley Hemmings. “I’d also 55 teaming up with someone so you’re accountable to go for a run.”
Of course, if training outdoors does not sound like fun, even when you are 56 up, there are other options. Walking 4,000 steps a day, for example, can significantly reduce your risk of all-cause mortality (死亡率). At the other end of the range, a short, sharp 57 of high-intensity interval training can boost your mood while helping to reduce fat. If you are not used to training, an entry-level 58 is the Timmons Method, or 20 seconds of squats (深蹲) or kettlebell (壶铃) swings work, followed by two minutes of active recovery (just moving around) repeated a few times.
And finally, don’t 59 the importance of your mood on getting you to work out in the first place. There is fairly strong evidence that 60 vitamin D can positively affect your mood, and it is nearly impossible to get enough from the sun in winter. Get a supplement (补充剂) — and don’t be afraid to chase it with roast dinners.
46.A.pretend B.regret C.suspect D.understand
47.A.break down B.fall behind C.set off D.wake up
48.A.balance B.fitness C.innocence D.reputation

52.A.funnier B.rarer C.stranger D.trickier

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市徐汇区南洋中学·期末)
Nobody loves a dirty rat, right? But what about an African giant pouched rat, a Goliath-sized rodent (啮齿动物) weighing 1.5-2kg (three to four times the size of our own brown rat) and 61 to the grasslands of southern Africa?
Over the past 25 years, these giant rats — known as ‘hero rats’ by the people who train them — have been used to 62 deadly landmines and tuberculosis pathogens (结合病原体) in medical samples. Now, there’s even more reason to love these rodents—they could play an important role in 63 the illegal wildlife trade, thanks to their amazing sense of smell.
Research by scientists from the non-profit group APOPO shows that giant rats can spot samples of elephant ivory, rhino horn, pangolin scales, and African hardwood, even when these 64 wildlife products are mixed with non-target items.
Law enforcement already uses high-tech scanners and detection dogs. So why rats? Senior scientist Isabelle Szott explains they have 65 over traditional methods. First, a rat costs $8,000 to train versus up to $30,000 for a dog. Airport scanners can cost 66 from $30,000 to $1.2 million.
“Their light weight is also an important 67 for detection,” says Szott. “Rats can be lifted to higher locations, like shipping containers’ airing systems.” 68 , rats can go where dogs cannot.
Dogs often need the same handler, while rats are less 69 , making them flexible. APOPO has successfully tested rats at Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam port. Now, they aim to expand globally. APOPO 70 with Tanzania’s Wildlife Authority, and Singapore and France have shown interest.
‘Hero rats’ doesn’t do them justice — they’re ‘super rats’!

Animals like seals, penguins, and a wide variety of sea birds are all fish eaters. They live in the Arctic and Antarctic Circle, among the icecaps. The land is completely frozen. Yet these animals 71 to live in this region. How do they do it?
The icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans 72 a great amount of marine life. For millions of years, life has remained unchanged, making it possible for these animals to 73 these particular patterns of existence.
But they do get some help from 74 . All liquids have a boiling point and a freezing point. When the outside temperature 75 below the freezing point of water, lakes and rivers get frozen. 76 , only the top layer of the lake or river freezes. Underneath the frozen upper layer, the water remains in its 77 form and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. 78 , fish and other marine animals find it possible to live comfortably in the frozen lakes and ponds.
But why doesn’t the entire body of water 79 , like a giant, lake-sized ice-cube?
During winter months in colder countries, the outside temperature is very low and the upper layers of water in the lakes and ponds start 80 . When the temperature of the surface layers falls to 4℃, the water body acquires maximum density and 81 . The water that drops down 82 the water below, and the lower layers of water simultaneously rise up. This also gets cooled to 4℃ and again falls down.
When the temperature of the water body finally goes below 4℃, the density or heaviness of water decreases and as a result water does not sink down. The 83 water finally freezes at 0℃while the lower part still remains at 4℃. The light frozen layer of ice floats on top.
Ice does not allow heat to pass through it easily, so the freezing of the waters below is a very 84 process. At depths below 30 metres, temperatures are cold and stable but food is scarce. As a result, certain species of flatfish and polar fish have a(n) 85 growing rate, so that they can adapt to this tough situation to survive.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市浦东新区建平中学·期末)
Cambridge Dictionary has put it out to the universe, naming “manifest” as its Word of the Year for 2024.
Popularized by celebrities such as singer Dua Lipa, “manifest” refers to the practice of using “methods such as visualization and affirmation to help you 86 achieving something you want, in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen,” the British dictionary publisher said in an announcement. Lipa has spoken about how she thinks manifestation has played a part in her success, helping to bring about 87 moments in her career, such as playing at the Glastonbury Festival—the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world—this year. “If you set an 88 , you think about it every single day of your life. For example, when I first started making music, I dreamed about the day that I would get asked to headline Glastonbury.” she said in an interview in April. “In a way, that is setting that idea, in the back of my mind,” she added. “I think it’s powerful.”
89 , US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has mentioned her use of manifestation after her mother started encouraging her to write down her goals. “You have to write it down, you have to speak it into 90 , you have to see it daily and then it usually happens.” she said in an interview in October.
Taken from Latin and French, in English the word “manifest” 91 meant “easily noticed or obvious” before it started to be used as a verb meaning “to show something clearly.” In the early 20th century, it started to be used to mean “to make something happen by internalizing it, intentionally or unintentionally.” according to Cambridge Dictionary.
This year marked manifesting’s move into the wider public 92 . In 2024, the word manifest 93 from being mainly used in the self-help community and on social media into being mentioned widely across mainstream media. The use of this sense of manifest has gained 94 with the increasing number of ‘manifesting influencers’ promoting this scientifically unproven practice on social media—so much so that it was added to the Cambridge Dictionary in May 2023.
The dictionary said the word has been looked up nearly 130,000 times on its website, making it one of its most 95 entries. Manifest won this year because it increased notably in lookups, its use widened greatly across all types of media, and it shows how the meanings of a word can 96 over time.
Other words on the 2024 shortlist include “brat,” inspired by the title of singer Charli XCX’s 2024 album. This year, Collins Dictionary named “brat” its Word of the Year, defining it as someone “ 97 by a confident, independent, and hedonistic (快乐主义的) attitude.”
86.A.estimate B.ease C.tackle D.imagine
87.A.significant B.massive C.astonishing D.primitive
88.A.atmosphere B.alternative C.intention D.isolation
89.A.Consequently B.Similarly C.However D.Contrarily
90.A.innocence B.evolution C.existence D.formation
91.A.universally B.initially C.subjectively D.morally
92.A.consciousness B.symbol C.ambition D.pace
93.A.secured B.submitted C.debated D.transformed
94.A.reputation B.popularity C.conflict D.possession
95.A.viewed B.restored C.resisted D.delayed
96.A.refresh B.slip C.evolve D.engage
97.A.boosted B.characterized C.shifted D.assigned
【答案】

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海市静安区·期末)
Checking packages is unhealthy obsession
There’s a child-like joy that comes with ordering something online — whether it be clothes or kitchen gadgets. We sit 98 the U.S. Postal Service or FedEx pages to see when our items will arrive, and we become overly excited, hopeful and anxious. But why?
According to Owen O’Kane, a psychotherapist, even the smallest positive future events can 99 us when we’re feeling down. This is why people look forward to dinner reservations, hair appointments and yes, receiving packages.
But it’s not the purchase itself that arouses this happiness. Experts say there’s something about the 100 of a package arriving that is exciting for those in need of change in their lives.
When our package finally arrives, many of us are satisfied. But that initial excitement has probably 101 because our obsession with our parcel represents much more than the item we purchased.
For some, the arrival of a package may represent “an imagined positive future, where you can control your needs for a book or blouse,” making life feel more 102 and less dull. Waiting for a parcel can also serve as a temporary 103 from the boredom, giving you something new to look forward to.
“You’re distracting yourself from other feelings like anxiety, boredom. When you imagine a positive event in the future, you feel only joyful expectation. And tracking it down to the street of the delivery truck makes it even more 104 ” O’Kane says. Nevertheless, anticipation isn’t always a good thing.
People became angry recently when the U. S. Postal Service announced its slower delivery. And now, many are worried about items arriving late, appearing broken, or simply not 105 expectations.
This phenomenon is called pre-parcel anxiety and it’s more common than you would think. “We live in a society where we build expectations and 106 perfectionism. We want efficiency and 107 with patience,” O’Kane explains.
A delayed package may seem 108 to some. But for others, feeling hopeful and then being let down is angering and anxiety-provoking.
“We feel tricked, sometimes on a personal level. We all want fair transactions, and when we 109 and the other party drops the ball, anger is often the result,” O’Kane says, comparing it to “broken, ignored or forgotten” promises. 110 , O’Kane says these reactions are telling about more deep-rooted issues beyond a delayed package. “Anxiety is 111 to uncertainty, and many struggle with not having control. So it’s really 112 of something bigger, of the need to control everything and to be perfect.”
98.A.winding B.switching C.refreshing D.registering
99.A.fascinate B.motivate C.innovate D.cultivate
100.A.accommodation B.companion C.transportation D.anticipation

102.A.advisable B.manageable C.knowledgeable D.considerable

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市曹杨中学·期末)
If you survey American parents about what they want for their kids, more than 90 percent say one of their top priorities is that their children be caring. This makes sense: Kindness and concern for others are held as 113 in nearly every society. But when you ask children what their parents want for them, 81 percent say their parents 114 achievement and happiness over caring.
Kids learn what’s 115 to adults not by listening to what we say, but by noticing what gets our attention. And in many developed societies, parents now pay more attention to individual achievement and happiness than anything else. However much we 116 kindness and caring, we’re not actually showing our kids that we appreciate these traits.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, then, that kindness appears to be 117 . An analysis of annual surveys of American college students showed a substantial drop from 1979 to 2009 in imagining the perspectives of others. Over this period; students grew 118 to feel concern for people less fortunate than themselves.
It’s not just that people care less; they seem to be 119 less, too. In one experiment, a sociologist left thousands of what appeared to be lost letters in dozens of American cities in 2001, and again in 2011. From the first round to the second one, the proportion of letters that was 120 by passersby and put in a mailbox declined by 10 percent. Psychologists find that kids born after 1995 121 as much as their predecessors (前辈) that other people experiencing difficulty should be helped — but they feel less personal responsibility to take action themselves.
If we truly care less about one another, some of the 122 lies with the values parents have promoted. In our own lives, we’ve observed many parents becoming so focused on achievement that they 123 kindness.
Other parents discourage kindness, seeing it as a source of 124 in a fiercely competitive world. In some parenting circles, for example, there’s a movement against 125 when preschoolers are selfish in their play. These parents worry that stepping in might prevent kids from learning to stick up for themselves, and say that they’re less 126 the prospect of raising an adult who doesn’t share than one who struggles to say no. But there’s no reason parents can’t teach their kids to care about others and themselves — to be both 127 and self-respecting. If you encourage children to consider the needs and feelings of others, sometimes they will and sometimes they won’t. But they’ll soon learn that if you don’t treat others considerately, they may not be considerate toward you.

115.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:孩子们通过观察什么能吸引我们的注意力,而不是听我们说什么,来了解成年人认为什么是重要的。A. important重要的;B. available可获得的;C. familiar熟悉的;D. equal平等的。根据文章首句中“If you survey American parents about what they want for their kids(如果你调查美国父母对孩子的期望)”以及下文“parents now pay more attention to individual achievement and happiness than anything else(比起其他任何事情,父母现在更关注个人的成就和幸福)”中的“pay attention to”可知,孩子们通过观察父母的注意力所在来了解成年人认为什么是“重要的”。故选A项。
116.考查动词词义辨析。句意:无论我们多么赞扬善良和关心他人,我们实际上并没有向孩子们展示我们欣赏这些品质。A. encounter遭遇;B. deserve值得;C. display展示;D. praise赞扬。根据上文“more than 90 percent say one of their top priorities is that their children be caring(超过90%的人表示,他们的首要任务之一是让孩子变得关心他人)”和下文“we’re not actually showing our kids that we appreciate these traits”表达的让步关系可知,父母都希望孩子变得善良体贴,故此处表示尽管我们“赞扬、歌颂”善良和体贴,但实际上没有向孩子表现出这一点。故选D项。
117.考查介词短语辨析。句意:也许我们不应该感到惊讶,因为善良似乎正在减少。A. in decline在减少;B. under control在控制之下;C. on hand在手头;D. above average高于平均水平。根据下文“An analysis of annual surveys of American college students showed a substantial drop from 1979 to 2009 in imagining the perspectives of others.(一项对美国大学生年度调查的分析显示,从1979年到2009年,从别人的角度着想的能力大幅下降)”可知,善良似乎正在“减少,衰退”。故选A项。

122.考查名词词义辨析。句意:如果我们真的不那么关心彼此,部分责任在于父母所提倡的价值观。A. difference差异;B. theme主题;C. demand需求;D. blame责任。根据下文“we’ve observed many parents becoming so focused on achievement that they ____11____ kindness”以及“Other parents discourage kindness”可知,下文描述了父母关注个人成就而不关心善良体贴的事实,故此处表示孩子不会关心他人的部分“责任”在于父母所提倡的价值观。故选D项。
123.考查动词词义辨析。句意:在我们自己的生活中,我们观察到许多父母过于关注成就,以至于忽视了善良。A. neglect忽视;B. respect尊重;C. define定义;D. evaluate评估。根据上文描述的善良下降的现象以及空前“many parents becoming so focused on achievement”可知,许多父母过于关注成就,以至于“忽视”了善良。故选A项。

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海市杨浦区·期末)
You’re a planner. You have your calendar color-coded, dinner reservations booked a month 128 , and you know exactly what you’ll be doing on your next vacation. You meet someone who’s all about “going with the flow,” a non-planner who seldom makes a to-do list. Can a planner and a non-planner live together happily? The short answer is yes. But both need to 129 and meet halfway.
It’s important to note that many successful relationships involve 130 . Planners bring structure, 131 and the comfort of predictability. Non-planners bring flexibility, adaptability and ways to handle the unexpected.
It’s no surprise that good communication is key in any relationship, especially between planners and free spirits. Planners may long for a sense of order and 132 about what’s coming up, while the non-planners prefer going with the moment. This doesn’t have to be a source of 133 . Instead, it can be an opportunity to discuss expectations openly.
While it’s true that no one should have to change their 134 to make a relationship work, compromise (妥协) can help. Rather than expecting anyone to 135 adopt the other’s way of doing things, consider finding a middle ground. For example, maybe the planner takes charge of the essentials, like booking a hotel for a weekend getaway, while the non-planner is free to suggest day-of activities 136 what feels right in the moment.
Planners might discover that they actually enjoy a touch of the unexpected. While unplanned moments can feel unsettling, they often lead to 137 experiences. Planners may also realize that they’re less 138 if they can let go a little, especially for small things.
139 , non-planners may see planning isn’t so bad. Having a few things set up can feel easier. And for big decisions, it’s reassuring to have a(n) 140 partner.
Even with understanding and compromise, your differences will sometimes 141 each other. When that happens, take a step back and remember what you appreciate about your partner’s style. These moments are normal -- they can actually 142 the strengths each of you bring to the partnership.
So, can opposites work? Yes, if you respect each other, stay open-minded, and find balance. The best relationships often are the ones that challenge us to see things from a new perspective.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海市敬业中学·期末)
Throughout history, many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists (气象学家) and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for storms, with the hope of reducing the 143 of lives. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, which allow for better accuracy in 144 the paths of storms.
Meteorologists and scientists have been able to successfully track severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes by using an advanced tracking system called NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar). NEXRAD is a tracking network 145 158 Doppler weather radars. And during a storm this high-resolution computerized 146 takes readings on the amount of precipitation (降水) in the air, the movements in the clouds, and the wind speeds.
These 147 are bounced back to a local weather computer, and a colorful image appears on the screen,giving meteorologists a clear picture of what kind of weather is on the horizon. This final image is what you see when the meteorologist breaks in with severe weather reports and warnings. 148 , on your television screen you will see a computer animated image of the approaching storm.
If the storm is severe enough, then the National Weather Service (NWS) will 149 severe weather reports of severe thunderstorm warnings for your area. 150 , the storm captured on the radar will have produced strong readable winds, detectable lightning, and some hail (冰雹). Paying attention to the weather map is 151 when severe weather is around.
On the television screen you will see several colors on the precipitation map, 152 from blue (the lightest) to black (the heaviest). If the colors for your 153 area are yellow, take caution. If the colors range between orange and red, take cover immediately, as damaging winds and dangerous lightning have been reported.
When local weather radar in Atlanta, Georgia reported high winds, circular wind patterns and large hail earlier this year, the National Weather Service issued a tornado 154 . Meteorologists in the area used the collected data to predict what path the storm would take, 155 which areas needed to be warned.
Thanks to this technology, most residents received the severe weather reports early enough to seek 156 before the storm hit. Paying attention to your 157 weather source during severe weather plays a vital role in your safety.

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学·期末)
“It’s almost a moral duty that museums should be free,” said Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 2002, when a ticket to MOMA cost $12. In October MOMA started charging $30, the latest in a series of price 158 involving the Metropolitan Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and so on.
Higher energy and labour costs have pushed up ticket prices in Europe, too. Prices have remained 159 only in Asia and the Middle East, where museums are younger and state funding is especially generous.
Ticket fees may seem high, particularly in destination cities where tourists are 160 to be discouraged by spending a few more dollars. But whatever museums 161 , it is not covering their operating costs. The Association of Art Museum Directors reported in 2018 that ticket sales accounted on average for just 7% of total 162 at American art museums. Memberships contributed another 7%. The 163 of budgets usually come from charitable donations, grants and retail operations.
European museums are less 164 admissions fees, because they are often heavily subsidized (补助) by governments. All national institutions in Britain offer free admission, as do most state-run museums in China while in America some 30% are free. Some observers have repeated Mr Lowry’s call for museum to stop charging for 165 entirely.
166 price s go against museums’goal of sharing art with a more diverse public. They could also speed up the already steep decline in the share of Americans attending museums and galleries.
Declining public interest is a challenge for institutions that rely heavily on public support. Those who choose not to visit a museum today may be the people who 167 government subsidies or refuse to write personal cheques as sponsors in a few years. Those who spend time inside museums’galleries are more likely to grasp their richness and want to 168 their own riches in them.
Yet significantly reducing costs may not actually do much to 169 new audiences either. If tickets were free, “people who typically come anyway might come more often. 170 that, you’re not really changing your demographic (观众结构), says an economist who studies pricing in the arts. He 171 museums to the best American university: Harvard could afford to make tuition free for all, but many wealthy students who do not need the gift would be among the biggest beneficiaries(受益者). As museums throughout the West debate what price is right, most are unlikely to conclude the answer is 172 , “moral duty” or not.
