On the Old Silk Road I set off on my dream journey from London to Beijing in the peaceful days of 2019. Travelling overland, I wanted to experience the transitions between cultures, to see the legacy of exchange along the Silk Road trade routes____1____once connected China with the west. My first major stop was Venice. The city is full of influences brought there by its many and varied visitors, especially ____2____from the east. You can see these in the domes of Saint Mark's Cathedral and in Renaissance masterpieces with their brilliant blue dyes, produced from lapis lazuli mined 4,000 miles away in northern Afghanistan and brought to Venice along the Silk Road. From Venice, I crossed the Adriatic to Pula and continued south-east.____3____(travel) across the Balkans on three 10-hour train journeys, I finally made my way to Istanbul. Old men playing cards, dogs and cats wandering the streets, fishers awaiting a catch, there is so much life to Istanbul, so much to drink in. After crossing the Bosphorus into Asia, I was welcomed by the mythical countries of Middle East. Along the way, we passed trade stops____4____(date) from the 13th century. These were the original travel camps, where Silk Road traders would rest, wash, pray, share gossip and be isolated before entering cities ____5____they carried dangerous diseases. My next stop was Urumqi,____6____17-hour train ride away along the northern edge of the Taklamakan desert. The word Taklamakan translates as “____7____goes in does not come out”. Many have lost their lives attempting to cross it but those days are mostly in the past. My train,____8____its risky appearance, delivered me safely to my destination. ____9____the Taklamakan desert ends, the Gobi desert begins. I was now on the final stretch of my journey, heading east on China's high-speed rail network. It took about 10 days to cross China and reach Beijing. I, by the time of my arrival,_____10_____(cover) 25,000 miles by car, bus, train, boat, horse, camel and, yes, two flights, across 16 countries. My dream of crossing Eurasia was fulfilled. I had 50,000 photos to edit and an exhibition to develop. Section B (A) Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

A. average B. adapt C. consisting D. controversial E. exactly F. stuck G. failing H. extremely I. referred J. initial K. range From roughly the 16th to 19th centuries, much of the Earth was caught by a persistent freezing cold. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere (半球) experienced long stretches of temperatures so cold that people witnessed crops ____11____ and rivers freezing — like the Scheldt River. Thousands of people walking and playing across the frozen River Thames; Soldiers on horseback seeing ships ____12____ in the ice; Natives using snowshoes to outsmart the English army… These were some of the images that define the Little Ice Age — a period of several centuries last millennium in which parts of the Northern Hemisphere struggled with a persistent cold. But what caused the Little Ice Age, how long did it last, how did people ____13____ to the freezing cold — and what lessons can we learn as we enter our own period of climatic change? The Little Ice Age was not a true ice age — ____14____ cooling was probably only in the order of 0.5 degrees Celsius, or 1 degree Fahrenheit — nor was it consistently cold. Dagomar Degroot, associate professor of environmental history at Georgetown University has ____15____ to the era as a series of “little little ice ages.” Although some researchers argue it may have begun earlier, NASA defines the Little Ice Age as beginning around 1550 and ____16____ of three cold peaks — around 1650, 1770 and 1850. Scientists are still working out ____17____ what caused the Little Ice Age too. Theories ____18____ from decreased solar activity to increased volcanic eruptions, to the decline of populations in North America, which allowed forests to replace agricultural land, in the process removing about seven billion tons of carbon from the atmosphere. A 2022 study argued that the ____19____ trigger was actually a rise of extremely warm water flowing north from the tropics in the late 1300s, which pushed Arctic ice into the North Atlantic. Whatever the cause, the consequences of the Little Ice Age have a lasting effect on history, although to what extent is still ____20____.

Leader Abdication (退位) Some managers, in their sincere efforts to be good team leaders, make a serious mistake: they withdraw from their group and ____21____ avoid interacting with team members. They wrongly assume that the best way they can help the team become more self-directed is by personally becoming less ____22____. Team Arrogance (自大) A team can become so focused on achieving its own goals that it does not consider the ____23____ its actions may have for other groups or organizations. Outsiders see the team as arrogant and cruel. Insiders see the team as effective and misunderstood. Overall, the team’s belief in its own ____24____ has a damaging effect on the performance of the organization as a whole. Undefined Responsibility In this trap, a team may regularly make decision on which no following action is ever taken. Members are then frustrated by the collective ____25____ of responsibility. In instances where action is taken and the execution is poor or a mistake is made, no one takes responsibility. It is rarely clear who is responsible for ____26____ action items, and when an action item is regarded as the responsibility of the entire team, nothing happens. Short-term Focus Failure to see the “big picture” can lead a team to ____27____ strategies that help improve its own performance but leave the rest of the organization in a mess. Not having the information that allows seeing the forest rather than the trees can lead to suspect plans and poorly reasoned decision. Decision by Default (默认) Teams that have a tendency to repeatedly postpone difficult decisions will find that their options become increasingly ____28____. Ironically, by hesitating, the team finally makes a decision — by default rather than by informed choices. Participation Tricks Tricks to increase employee involvement and participation — like suggestion boxes — can actually have the ____29____ effect. When individuals are rewarded for contributing suggestions through cash, there is little incentive (激励) for team members to work together to ____30____ problems and implement solutions. Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

At a beach, Austin and his mother Joanne went out in a kayak (皮划艇), excited about spending quality time together. At first, the sea appeared ____32____. The gentle waves lapped against the kayak, and seagulls circled lazily overhead. They paddled along the shoreline with joy. However, the weather changed in an instant. Soon, strong winds began to ____33____ violently across the water, raising huge waves. At that moment, their minds went blank. Minutes later, the kayak was filled with water and suddenly ____34____, throwing them into the icy sea. They struggled desperately, but the waves ____35____ them farther away from the shoreline. The sea was so freezing that they felt as if they were being stabbed by a thousand frozen needles. With the whole situation getting worse and worse, Joanne made a quick ____36____, and shouted, “Austin, swim to the beach and get help!” Seeing the fear in Joanne’s eyes as well as her trust in him, Austin immediately began swimming toward the distant shore. For four hours, he battled freezing waves and powerful currents. While he swam, Austin ____37____ positive thoughts to help him keep going. His arms felt like lead, and his legs were numb.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) For years, spring in our town was welcomed by Leon and Jo Martin, who owned the Dairy Queen. Every year, after their winter stay in Florida, they would post the words “Now Hiring” on their sign. I would walk past, see the sign, see Leon and Jo readying for their spring opening, and feel winter’s departure. It was as accurate an indication of spring as any calendar. When they died and their children sold the Dairy Queen to an out-of-town outfit who kept it open year-round, it threw off our town’s circadian rhythms (生物钟). Something terrible. We’re still not sure when spring begins. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. When the implement store on the west edge of town, where Johnston’s IGA grocery store used to be, stops selling snowplows and starts selling lawn mowers, that’s a pretty good sign winter is coming to an end. If they should drop the ball, Frank Gladden is sure to stand at our Quaker meeting and announce that volunteers are needed for our spring fish fry. Frank’s announcement is as reliable as any clock and invariably mixed with worry and regret that this might be the last year of the fish fry if volunteers aren’t forthcoming. “We’re not getting any younger,” he announces. Frank is 82 years old, but he’s been saying that since 1961, so we Quakers aren’t alarmed. The Fairfield Friends Fish Fry is as constant as sunrise. But let us suppose both the implement store and Frank Gladden neglect their duties and we are cast adrift, unaware of spring’s arrival. We would then have to look and see whether Bill Eddy, our town’s plumber, was wearing a coat. When the first leaf falls to the ground in the autumn, Bill pulls on his Carhartt coat and doesn’t remove it until spring. I’ve known Bill since we were in first grade together, so I know well about his habits. He wears that Carhartt everywhere, inside and outside. There are other signs of spring if one is watchful. The deer lighten in color, the dog sheds, the buds swell, the snow melts on the south hillside, and the bloodroot in our woodlot pushes out its petals. The calf (牛犊) appears, following its mother because of hunger. Who needs a calendar when a calf is nearby? 46. What can be learned about the Dairy Queen from the first paragraph? A. It was moved to Florida. B. It used to be closed in winter. C. It is now owned by Leon and Jo’s children. D. It has several branches out of the town. 47. According to the writer, which of the following is a sign that winter is over? A. The deer turns into a darker color. B. Bill Eddy stops wearing his Carhartt coat. C. The Quaker meeting starts to call for volunteers. D. Johnston’s IGA grocery store starts to sell lawn mowers. 48. By “as constant as sunrise”, the writer means that the Fairfield Friends Fish Fry ________. A. has a long history B. makes excellent fried fish C. opens very early every day D. is sure to continue its business 49. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Why I Love Spring B. Every Changing Spring C. How I Know It’s Spring D. Spring: All Comes to Life (B) Colleague Council Meeting 3rd Oct 20 Chairperson: Jane Simmons Minutes Secretary: Liz Bateman 1 Welcome Jane Simmons welcomed all colleagues to the meeting. She explained the aim of the Colleague Council—issues which are of concern to staff members can be raised and discussed by the group, and then addressed to Personnel Manager, Penny Kacelnik, in the second half of the meeting. Meetings will be held four times a year. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES 2 Lifting of International call barring The council asked if it would be possible to have the phone system changed so that international calls can be made. All phones in Sales & Marketing will be modified in November to allow for international calls. Anyone else who needs to call overseas should contact Asif Din in IT. 3 Recycling of paper The council enquired if the correct route for raising recycling issues was through John Evans, Office Services Manager. Penny agreed that this was the correct route. She also added that she would welcome everyone looking at the paper they use and cutting down if possible. Individuals are reminded that they can also make a difference by turning lights and monitors etc. off. 4 Healthy snack options in snack machines The council requested that a healthy range of snacks be available from the snack machine. Penny reminded everyone that the canteen offers healthy lunch-time options. She will discuss the contents of the machine with the leasers (租赁方) when the lease comes up for renewal next month. Feedback to be given at Jan meeting. 5 Removal of study grants The council expressed regret that study grants for non-professional courses were no longer available. People should be encouraged to take language courses, for example, given our growing international market. Penny explained that Management felt this money could be better used on paying for courses which would lead to professional qualifications, such as Accountancy, Credit Control. She also suggested that in-house language courses could be taught by members of staff. Next Meeting: Will be January, precise date to be confirmed Attendees: Louisa Barlow, Gary Brown, Natalie Cole, Orla Doyle, Tariq Ali, Penny Kacelnik (Personnel Officer) 50. The word “Minutes” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. unexpected emergencies B. the duration of a meeting C. written records of a meeting D. suggestions from employees 51. What proposal did the Colleague Council put forward? A. Holding the Colleague Council Meeting four times a year. B. Allowing the employees to make international calls. C. Dealing with documents on the computer instead of on paper. D. Asking the canteen to provide more healthy lunch options. 52. What suggestion did Penny Kacelnik give to those who want to take language courses? A. Shifting to a course leading to professional qualifications. B. Applying to the Personnel Office for a special grant. C. Turning to a colleague who speaks that language. D. Referring to the growing international market. (C) There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways – for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy. Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber. In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe. Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life. Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection. — Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed 53. Why does the writer mention colour theory? A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work. B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions. C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words. D. To compare artistic and scientific ways of understanding emotions. 54. Which statement is most probably true according to Plutchik’s theory of emotions? A. Love is one of the most important emotions. B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together. C. Acceptance can be a mixture of basic emotions. D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity. 55. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions? A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences. B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea. C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions. D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality. 56. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”? A. Emotions are created by external events. B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts. C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us. D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Sex difference in sports interest: What does evolution say? Sports are enormously popular, and one striking pattern is that boys and men are typically much more involved than are girls and women. This sex difference has policy implications, and it raises fundamental questions about the nature of sex differences. A recent review article by Deaner, Balish, and Lombardo (2016), published in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences, analyzes the relevant theoretical work. First, the authors demonstrated that females’ under-representation in sport — both as participants and spectators — generally reflects their lesser sports interest, not merely fewer opportunities for involvement. Moreover, this sex difference occurs in all societies described thus far, from hunters and gatherers to large contemporary societies. ____57____. Next, the authors explored adaptive, functional hypotheses (假设) for sports. One hypothesis holds that individuals compete in sports to gain status and that non-participants monitor sports performances so they can evaluate potential competitors and allies.____58____. Another hypothesis is that sports serve as courtship displays that advertise participant quality to the opposite sex. This hypothesis effectively explais some aspects of female’s sports interest. ____59____. Although it is often assumed that socialization practices entirely cause this sex difference, the evidence that socialization plays a role remains doubtful. In particular, no systematic historical comparison has ever shown a decrease in the sex difference. Moreover, several studies indicate that inborn hormones contribute to males’ greater sports interest. The points from this review are that the sex difference in sports interest is widespread, partly due to evolutionary pressures that differentially affected males and females, and unlikely to be fully overturned by socialization. ____60____. Most notably, Title IX is a U.S. law that prohibits sexual discrimination in educational opportunities, including sports, and Title IX is generally implemented under the assumption that females’ sports interest is inherently equal to that of males. The present research indicates that this implementation may require revision. A. The evidence indicates that this hypothesis applies chiefly to males. B. These points of view are widely accepted by the U.S. lawmakers. C. Finally, the authors examined the possible causes for the sex difference in sports interest. D. For example, in every society, males participate in sports at least twice as much as females in terms of frequency or duration. E. These points challenge the bedrock assumptions of many scholars and policy makers. F. However, how can we address the issue from a broad, evolutionary perspective? Ⅳ.

Dagomar Degroot, associate professor of environmental history at Georgetown University has ____15____ to the era as a series of “little little ice ages.” Although some researchers argue it may have begun earlier, NASA defines the Little Ice Age as beginning around 1550 and ____16____ of three cold peaks — around 1650, 1770 and 1850.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) For years, spring in our town was welcomed by Leon and Jo Martin, who owned the Dairy Queen. Every year, after their winter stay in Florida, they would post the words “Now Hiring” on their sign. I would walk past, see the sign, see Leon and Jo readying for their spring opening, and feel winter’s departure. It was as accurate an indication of spring as any calendar. When they died and their children sold the Dairy Queen to an out-of-town outfit who kept it open year-round, it threw off our town’s circadian rhythms (生物钟). Something terrible. We’re still not sure when spring begins. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. When the implement store on the west edge of town, where Johnston’s IGA grocery store used to be, stops selling snowplows and starts selling lawn mowers, that’s a pretty good sign winter is coming to an end. If they should drop the ball, Frank Gladden is sure to stand at our Quaker meeting and announce that volunteers are needed for our spring fish fry. Frank’s announcement is as reliable as any clock and invariably mixed with worry and regret that this might be the last year of the fish fry if volunteers aren’t forthcoming. “We’re not getting any younger,” he announces. Frank is 82 years old, but he’s been saying that since 1961, so we Quakers aren’t alarmed. The Fairfield Friends Fish Fry is as constant as sunrise. But let us suppose both the implement store and Frank Gladden neglect their duties and we are cast adrift, unaware of spring’s arrival. We would then have to look and see whether Bill Eddy, our town’s plumber, was wearing a coat. When the first leaf falls to the ground in the autumn, Bill pulls on his Carhartt coat and doesn’t remove it until spring. I’ve known Bill since we were in first grade together, so I know well about his habits. He wears that Carhartt everywhere, inside and outside. There are other signs of spring if one is watchful. The deer lighten in color, the dog sheds, the buds swell, the snow melts on the south hillside, and the bloodroot in our woodlot pushes out its petals. The calf (牛犊) appears, following its mother because of hunger. Who needs a calendar when a calf is nearby? 46. What can be learned about the Dairy Queen from the first paragraph? A. It was moved to Florida. B. It used to be closed in winter. C. It is now owned by Leon and Jo’s children. D. It has several branches out of the town. 47. According to the writer, which of the following is a sign that winter is over? A. The deer turns into a darker color. B. Bill Eddy stops wearing his Carhartt coat. C. The Quaker meeting starts to call for volunteers. D. Johnston’s IGA grocery store starts to sell lawn mowers. 48. By “as constant as sunrise”, the writer means that the Fairfield Friends Fish Fry ________. A. has a long history B. makes excellent fried fish C. opens very early every day D. is sure to continue its business 49. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Why I Love Spring B. Every Changing Spring C. How I Know It’s Spring D. Spring: All Comes to Life 【答案】46. B 47. B 48. D 49. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过描述小镇上多个预示春天到来的传统和迹象，反映了小镇居民对春天的敏感和期待，展现了当地社区的文化和记忆。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“For years, spring in our town was welcomed by Leon and Jo Martin, who owned the Dairy Queen. Every year, after their winter stay in Florida, they would post the words “Now Hiring” on their sign. I would walk past, see the sign, see Leon and Jo readying for their spring opening, and feel winter’s departure. (多年来，Leon和Jo Martin欢迎春天来到我们镇上，他们是冰雪皇后的老板。每年，在佛罗里达过完冬天后，他们都会在招牌上写上“招聘”。我走过那里，看到招牌，看到Leon和Jo准备迎接春天的到来，感觉到了冬天的离去)”可知，镇上的冰雪皇后店铺在冬天结束时开始招聘，准备营业。由此可知，它过去通常在冬天关门。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When the first leaf falls to the ground in the autumn, Bill pulls on his Carhartt coat and doesn’t remove it until spring. (秋天，当第一片叶子落在地上时，Bill穿上他的卡哈特外套，直到春天才脱下来)”可知，Bill Eddy不再穿他的卡哈特外套了意味着春天到来了，即冬天结束了。需注意第二段中“When the implement store on the west edge of town, where Johnston’s IGA grocery store used to be, stops selling snowplows and starts selling lawn mowers, that’s a pretty good sign winter is coming to an end. (当小镇西部边缘的工具商店，也就是Johnston的IGA杂货店的所在地，停止销售扫雪机，开始销售割草机时，这是一个很好的迹象，表明冬天即将结束)”提到Johnston的IGA杂货店开始出售割草机是冬天即将结束的一个迹象，并不意味着冬天结束了。故选B项。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Frank’s announcement is as reliable as any clock and invariably mixed with worry and regret that this might be the last year of the fish fry if volunteers aren’t forthcoming. (Frank的声明像任何时钟一样可靠，而且总是夹杂着担忧和遗憾，如果志愿者不来，这可能是最后一年的炸鱼)”和第四段中““We’re not getting any younger,” he announces. Frank is 82 years old, but he’s been saying that since 1961, so we Quakers aren’t alarmed. (“我们不再年轻了，”他宣布。Frank已经82岁了，但他从1961年起就一直这么说，所以我们贵格会教徒并不担心)”可知，Frank一直担心志愿者不来，无法继续春季炸鱼活动，但是这么多年来这个活动一直在继续。由此可知，画线部分表示“一定会继续经营下去”。故选D项。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“There are other signs of spring if one is watchful. (如果你留心的话，还有其他春天的迹象)”可知，作者通过描述小镇上多个预示春天到来的传统和迹象，如冰雪皇后的招牌、工具店的变化、春季炸鱼声明、水管工的外套等，反映了小镇居民对春天的敏感和期待，展现了当地社区的文化和记忆。因此，C项“我怎么知道春天到了”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 (B) Colleague Council Meeting 3rd Oct 20 Chairperson: Jane Simmons Minutes Secretary: Liz Bateman 1 Welcome Jane Simmons welcomed all colleagues to the meeting. She explained the aim of the Colleague Council—issues which are of concern to staff members can be raised and discussed by the group, and then addressed to Personnel Manager, Penny Kacelnik, in the second half of the meeting.

Anyone else who needs to call overseas should contact Asif Din in IT. 3 Recycling of paper The council enquired if the correct route for raising recycling issues was through John Evans, Office Services Manager. Penny agreed that this was the correct route. She also added that she would welcome everyone looking at the paper they use and cutting down if possible. Individuals are reminded that they can also make a difference by turning lights and monitors etc. off. 4 Healthy snack options in snack machines The council requested that a healthy range of snacks be available from the snack machine. Penny reminded everyone that the canteen offers healthy lunch-time options. She will discuss the contents of the machine with the leasers (租赁方) when the lease comes up for renewal next month. Feedback to be given at Jan meeting. 5 Removal of study grants The council expressed regret that study grants for non-professional courses were no longer available. People should be encouraged to take language courses, for example, given our growing international market. Penny explained that Management felt this money could be better used on paying for courses which would lead to professional qualifications, such as Accountancy, Credit Control. She also suggested that in-house language courses could be taught by members of staff. Next Meeting: Will be January, precise date to be confirmed Attendees: Louisa Barlow, Gary Brown, Natalie Cole, Orla Doyle, Tariq Ali, Penny Kacelnik (Personnel Officer) 50. The word “Minutes” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. unexpected emergencies B. the duration of a meeting C. written records of a meeting D. suggestions from employees 51. What proposal did the Colleague Council put forward? A. Holding the Colleague Council Meeting four times a year. B. Allowing the employees to make international calls. C. Dealing with documents on the computer instead of on paper. D. Asking the canteen to provide more healthy lunch options. 52. What suggestion did Penny Kacelnik give to those who want to take language courses? A. Shifting to a course leading to professional qualifications. B. Applying to the Personnel Office for a special grant. C. Turning to a colleague who speaks that language. D. Referring to the growing international market. 【答案】50. C 51. B 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要讲述员工委员会会议的相关内容。 【50题详解】 词句猜测题。根据1 Welcome部分“She explained the aim of the Colleague Council—issues which are of concern to staff members can be raised and discussed by the group, and then addressed to Personnel Manager, Penny Kacelnik, in the second half of the meeting.”(她解释了员工委员会的目的，员工关心的问题可以由小组提出和讨论，然后在会议后半段向人事经理Penny Kacelnik提出。)和“MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES”(会议记录中的事项都来源于MINUTES) 可知，MINUTES是指在会议上被提出和讨论的员工关心的问题，一般情况下，会议上这些问题会由秘书记录，所以MINUTES的意思应该是“会议上的书面记录”，和C选项意思一致。故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据2 Lifting of International call barring部分“The council asked if it would be possible to have the phone system changed so that international calls can be made.”(委员会询问是否可以改变电话系统，以便拨打国际电话。)可知，委员会上提出要让员工们能够拨打国际电话。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据5 Removal of study grants部分“She also suggested that in-house language courses could be taught by members of staff.”(她还建议，内部语言课程可以由工作人员教授。)可知，Penny Kacelnik建议，想学习语言课程的人员可以向会说这种语言的工作人员学习。故选C。 (C) There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways – for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy. Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber. In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe. Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life. Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection. — Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed 53. Why does the writer mention colour theory? A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work. B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions. C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words. D. To compare artistic and scientific ways of understanding emotions. 54. Which statement is most probably true according to Plutchik’s theory of emotions? A. Love is one of the most important emotions. B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together. C. Acceptance can be a mixture of basic emotions. D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity. 55. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions? A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences. B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea. C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions. D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality. 56. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”? A. Emotions are created by external events. B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts. C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us. D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking. 【答案】53. B 54. C 55. B 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕人类基本情绪的分类、组合及强度，结合理论与类比，强调情绪认知的意义。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber.(情绪的混合或对比很像艺术中的色彩。红、黄、蓝等原色混合后会形成橙、绿、紫等新色调；这些色调进一步混合，会产生红橙、黄橙等中间色，它们通常有更生动的名称，如猩红或琥珀色。)”、第三段中“1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe.(1962 年，受色轮启发，Plutchik甚至将他提出的八种基本情绪排列成一个轮盘，将对立情绪置于彼此对面（喜悦对应悲伤，惊讶对应期待）。每种基本情绪都有三个强度级别。例如，喜悦的强度范围从低强度的平静，到中等强度的喜悦，最终到高强度的狂喜；愤怒同理，可从轻微的烦躁，到中等程度的愤怒，再到完全爆发的暴怒 —— 这相当于情绪中的消防车红色。基本情绪之间的 “空白区域” 由两种情绪的混合体填补：喜悦与信任结合产生爱（很像红色与黄色混合成橙色），而恐惧与惊讶结合则会产生敬畏。)”可知，作者提到色彩理论是为了说明情绪轮背后的原理。故选B。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity.(每种基本情绪都有三个强度级别。)”第四段中“By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life.(通过有意识地增加更多积极的情绪，比如宁静、接受和兴趣，我们不仅能增强快乐、乐观和爱的能力，还能减轻我们在生活中经历的不太有利的情绪的强度。)”可知，接纳属于积极情绪，而基本情绪可组合并形成不同强度的复杂情绪，因此接纳可能是基本情绪的混合体。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states.(虽然Plutchik的“情绪轮”可能有些简单，但它强调了情绪是沿着一个光谱存在的，强度不同，而且经常以复杂的组合出现，而不是孤立的状态。)”可知，作者认为该理论虽简化了情绪的复杂性，但传达了核心观点，即情绪存在于一个光谱中，强度不同，且常常以复杂的组合形式出现。故选B。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most.(Emotions can hijack our minds.它们让我们为行动做好准备，并且与我们的感知紧密相连。但它们也揭示了什么对我们最重要。)”可知，Paul Ekman说的“Emotions can hijack our minds”意思是情绪可以暂时控制我们，影响我们的行动和感知。故选C。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Sex difference in sports interest: What does evolution say? Sports are enormously popular, and one striking pattern is that boys and men are typically much more involved than are girls and women. This sex difference has policy implications, and it raises fundamental questions about the nature of sex differences. A recent review article by Deaner, Balish, and Lombardo (2016), published in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences, analyzes the relevant theoretical work. First, the authors demonstrated that females’ under-representation in sport — both as participants and spectators — generally reflects their lesser sports interest, not merely fewer opportunities for involvement. Moreover, this sex difference occurs in all societies described thus far, from hunters and gatherers to large contemporary societies. ____57____. Next, the authors explored adaptive, functional hypotheses (假设) for sports. One hypothesis holds that individuals compete in sports to gain status and that non-participants monitor sports performances so they can evaluate potential competitors and allies.____58____. Another hypothesis is that sports serve as courtship displays that advertise participant quality to the opposite sex. This hypothesis effectively explais some aspects of female’s sports interest. ____59____. Although it is often assumed that socialization practices entirely cause this sex difference, the evidence that socialization plays a role remains doubtful. In particular, no systematic historical comparison has ever shown a decrease in the sex difference. Moreover, several studies indicate that inborn hormones contribute to males’ greater sports interest. The points from this review are that the sex difference in sports interest is widespread, partly due to evolutionary pressures that differentially affected males and females, and unlikely to be fully overturned by socialization. ____60____. Most notably, Title IX is a U.S. law that prohibits sexual discrimination in educational opportunities, including sports, and Title IX is generally implemented under the assumption that females’ sports interest is inherently equal to that of males. The present research indicates that this implementation may require revision. A. The evidence indicates that this hypothesis applies chiefly to males. B. These points of view are widely accepted by the U.S. lawmakers. C. Finally, the authors examined the possible causes for the sex difference in sports interest. D. For example, in every society, males participate in sports at least twice as much as females in terms of frequency or duration. E. These points challenge the bedrock assumptions of many scholars and policy makers. F. However, how can we address the issue from a broad, evolutionary perspective? 【答案】57. D 58. A 59. C 60. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出男女在运动兴趣上存在差异，男性通常比女性更热衷运动。该差异普遍存在，原因包括进化压力和先天激素影响，而非单纯社会化，这对学者和政策制定者的固有假设提出了挑战。 【57题详解】 上文“Moreover, this sex difference occurs in all societies described thus far, from hunters and gatherers to large contemporary societies.(此外，这种性别差异在迄今为止所描述的所有社会中都存在，从狩猎采集社会到当今的大型社会皆是如此)”强调了性别差异在各个社会中的普遍性；D选项“For example, in every society, males participate in sports at least twice as much as females in terms of frequency or duration.(例如，在每个社会中，男性参与体育运动的频率或持续时间至少是女性的两倍)”通过具体数据进一步说明了这种性别差异的具体表现，符合题意。故选D。 【58题详解】 上文“One hypothesis holds that individuals compete in sports to gain status and that non-participants monitor sports performances so they can evaluate potential competitors and allies.(一个假设认为，个体参与体育运动是为了获得地位，而非参与者则监控体育表现，以便评估潜在的竞争对手和盟友)”是关于个体参与体育运动目的的一种假设；A选项“The evidence indicates that this hypothesis applies chiefly to males.(证据表明，这一假设主要适用于男性)”则是对这一假设的进一步说明，指出该假设主要适用于男性，这既是对上文假设的补充，也为下文提出另一个关于女性体育运动兴趣的假设做了铺垫，符合题意。故选A。 【59题详解】 根据下文“ Although it is often assumed that socialization practices entirely cause this sex difference, the evidence that socialization plays a role remains doubtful. (尽管人们常常认为社会化实践完全导致了这种性别差异，但社会化起作用的证据仍然值得怀疑)”以及“Moreover, several studies indicate that inborn hormones contribute to males’ greater sports interest.(此外，几项研究表明，先天激素有助于男性对体育运动产生更大的兴趣)”可知，本段主要探讨了导致体育运动兴趣性别差异的可能原因；C选项“Finally, the authors examined the possible causes for the sex difference in sports interest.(最后，作者们研究了体育运动兴趣性别差异的可能原因)”作为段首句，概括了本段的主题，即探讨体育运动兴趣性别差异的原因，符合题意。故选C。 【60题详解】 上文“The points from this review are that the sex difference in sports interest is widespread, partly due to evolutionary pressures that differentially affected males and females, and unlikely to be fully overturned by socialization. (这篇综述的观点是，体育运动兴趣的性别差异是普遍存在的，部分原因是进化压力对男性和女性的影响不同，而且不太可能被社会化完全改变)”是关于体育运动兴趣性别差异的总结性观点；E选项“These points challenge the bedrock assumptions of many scholars and policy makers.(这些观点挑战了许多学者和政策制定者的基本假设)”则是对这一观点的进一步阐述，指出这些观点对许多学者和政策制定者的基本假设提出了挑战，特别是与下文提到的美国法律Title IX的实施假设相呼应，符合题意。故选E。 Ⅳ.

While some view this as a means of self-realization, I firmly believe it is nothing but picking up sesame seeds while dropping watermelons. Health is the foundation of everything, and no achievement can be truly enjoyed without it. Burdened with endless work and pressure, those pursuing success at all costs often find themselves unable to savor the fruits of their labor, with their bodies worn out and minds exhausted. Only when one is in good health does life become truly meaningful. Were health to be traded for temporary glory, what would remain?
