Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery.
My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’ sacrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.
The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.
To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.
24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone?
A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She kept calm and stayed on duty.
C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She quickly booked a flight ticket.
25. Why did the author showcase her strength?
A. To help her mother make a full recovery.
B. To give herself an advantage in promotion.
C. To prove that she was more successful than her family.
D. To avoid being seen as weak or incapable by others.
26. How did some people help the author?
A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support.
B. By listening to her and giving judgments.
C. By convincing her seeking help is necessary. D. By sharing similar experiences with her.
27. What does the author want to convey in the text?
A. Strength doesn’t mean hiding struggles.
B. Strength gives us more courage to grow.
C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful.
D. Worldly labels block personal development.
C
The Underdog Effect is a phenomenon where people are more likely to support those who are regarded as disadvantaged or less likely to succeed. This doesn’t just happen in sports or competitions; it’s a deep-seated response that influences our behavior in many areas of life.
At its core, the Underdog Effect is about rooting for those who are clearly at a huge disadvantage. Think of the classic tale of David and Goliath, where a young shepherd (牧羊人) defeats a giant warrior (武士) with nothing but simple weapons like a stone. This story has lasted for centuries, not just because of its dramatic narrative (叙事), but because it connects with something everyone feels: wanting the weak to defeat the strong.
This effect is not limited to ancient tales. In modern times, we see it in movies, literature, and everyday life. Characters like Rocky Balboa, Harry Potter, and even companies like Apple in its early days, inspire us because they show the underdog spirit. We’re drawn to these stories because they reflect a struggle against hardship, and that struggle is something we can all relate to on some level.
In a broader cultural context, the love for underdogs can be seen across different societies and eras. Whether it’s a small nation fighting for independence, a startup challenging a corporate giant, or an individual standing up against systemic injustice, the narrative of the underdog is universally engaging. It’s a proof to the human spirit’s resilience and the belief that, with enough determination, anyone can succeed despite the odds.
While the Underdog Effect can inspire and unite us, it also has its downsides. Our support for the underdog, while often well-intentioned, can sometimes lead to unintended consequences and unrealistic expectations.
Despite its potential limitations, the Underdog Effect can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully and ethically. Whether you’re looking to motivate yourself, build a brand, or connect with others, understanding how to use this effect can help you achieve your goals while staying true to your values.
28. What can we learn about the Underdog Effect from the first paragraph?
A. It mainly occurs in sports. B. It affects people’s behavior in various fields
C.It makes people support the strong. D. It is a newly discovered social phenomenon.
29. Why does the David and Goliath story last long?
A. It has an exciting plot. B. It shows the power of weapons.
C. It tells a shepherd’s life. D. It connects people’s feelings.
30. What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Fairness. B. Toughness. C. Desire. D. Width.
31. What is the author’s overall view towards the Underdog Effect?
A. It is an outdated and useless concept. B. It is a simple trick used in advertising.
C. It has both positive and negative aspects. D. It is completely harmless and beneficial.
D
Under the autumn sky of Tuohula Xinjiang, golden rice stalks sway gently. Ayinigeer Tuoheti, a 28-year-old computer science graduate, wanders through the fields, checking the ripening crop. Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family’s traditional rice business and the modern age.
In 2020, Ayinigeer returned home to assist her father — who’d built a 1994 rice processing plant but his health weakened and struggled with business communications. She found the family’s work stuck in the backward reality: the ledger book, handwritten records, and carbon paper. She resolved to transform the business.
First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. To secure high-quality rice, she partnered with over 120 households, who transferred the management rights of their land to her company. Her company provided seeds and training, bought harvests above market prices, and shared profits-boosting farmers’ incomes while ensuring premium raw materials.
In 2023, she tried livestreaming on electronic sales platform. With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audience: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. Now, From March to September this year, they had 180,000 orders through livestreaming, with 7,000 on a single day-that’s nearly 35 tons of rice moving directly from their fields to households across China.
The numbers tell the resulting. In early 2024, influencers from across China were reaching out to us, she said. “They wanted to partner with us because our product had proven appealing.”
The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. Local farming is 98% mechanized, and a 1998 seed base (investing 1 million yuan yearly) develops high-quality varieties-including the seeds Ayinigeer uses.
32. What did Ayinigeer do first to improve the family business?
A. She started livestreaming on Douyin. B. She partnered with over 120 local households.
C. She modernized the operation system. D. She inspected crops personally.
33. Why could Ayinigeer’s sales model attract viewers?
A. She presented authentic rice production scenes.
B. She offered very low rice prices.
C.She used professional broadcasting equipment.
D. She accumulated many followers before livestreaming.
34. What can we infer about Tuohula’s rice?
A.It is only sold in southern Xinjiang.
B. It is popular all over the world.
C. Local natural conditions contributed to its popularity.
D. Its production cost is much lower than average.
35. Which is the most appropriate title?
A. Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice B. Livestreaming Makes Rice Famous
C. Graduate Succeeds in Rice Business D. Quality Rice Boosts Agriculture

Max arrived at an office, for his first interview. He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home.
While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.”
He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places.
While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.”
When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly.
It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor.
Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was Max’s turn to be interviewed.

M: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our “Weekend of Walks” here at the Lakeside Hotel. Now I’m going to describe to you the walks we have planned for tomorrow.
Walk One will take us along Redwood Dale and up Scaffel Peak. But don’t worry. We’re only going halfway up. I should mention that the ground tends to be rather rocky, so a pair of strong walking shoes is required. Once there, I can assure you that you will find the view well worth the effort.
Walk Two lets us wander along the bank of the River Swale. Our destination will be Mappin Isle, a half-mile down the river. Local pleasure boats will take us across to the island, where a natural reserve has been created and we can wander at leisure.
Walk Three takes us to the historic village of Wentworth where traditional handicrafts still survive. There’ll be plenty of time to purchase souvenirs, and we’ll stop for a bite to eat and something to drink before returning to the hotel.

【17题详解】
前文“Accept what you dislike about your body. (接受你对自己身体不满意的地方)”为第二段的总起句,是建立身体自信的第一个方法。空处开始展开说明为何要这样做,且后文“It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. (期望自己始终喜欢身体的每个部位是不现实的)”指出人不可能总喜欢身体每个部位的结论。空处既承接前文说明为何要接受对身体的不满,又为后文的结论提供前提。C选项“人们总有些身体部位令自己不满”满足此要求,衔接前后文。故选C。
【18题详解】
前文“Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk. (尝试用积极的自我对话取代消极的自我对话)”指出练习积极的自我对话的方法。设空处是对前文的总结,需补充积极心理暗示的效果。G选项“最初可能感到不自然,但长期会提升自我价值感”既承接前文说明这种方法最初的感受,又点明长期的实施效果,符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
前文“Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies. (许多低自尊者通过节食或健康饮食来改变身体)”说明低自尊者的做法,后文“Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change. (要想着将健康饮食视为滋养身体而非强迫改变的方式)”提到在思想上要如何看待这种做法。这表明空处需要一句能承接前文,既表明正确饮食的作用,又能引出后文的过渡性文字。F选项“正确饮食能提升自我感觉,但需保持正确态度”,既承认饮食的作用,又强调思想态度上的转变。故选F。
【20题详解】
后文“If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. (若自我感觉糟糕,支持很重要)”提到支持的重要性,且最后一段整段都围绕寻求周围人积极的支持展开,说明处于本段首句的设空处应谈及关于支持的内容。B选项“让自己置身于支持性人群中”,与后文核心词“support”直接对应,且后文“Seek out friends and family members who are positive. (寻找积极的朋友和家人)”正是该建议的实施方式。故选B。

【答案】One possible version:
It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. He went inside and passed his file to the interviewers. After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining?” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.”
After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.”
