Like many other newspapers across the country, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution stopped publishing print editions. The process of turning trees into paper, marking them with ink, and trucking them to readers may soon be as outdated as the old days ____2____ men delivered blocks of ice for family iceboxes. However, the decline of newspapers is about more than just switching from paper ____3____ digital screens. It signals deeper changes in how we think, read and understand the world around us. According to The Economist, the share of American adults who read for pleasure ____4____ (fall) by 40 percent in the last 20 years. At the same time, students’ ability to read extensively with good comprehension is also falling. An Oxford professor of English notes that they lack “habits of application and concentration.” Today’s readers, accustomed to quick social media posts ____5____ (limit) to 280 characters, often find it difficult to engage with classic literature.

Mir humorously notes that modern journalists might have a special key on their keyboards that automatically types “experts are warning of.” “In the 1970s, TV anchors ____8____ wear smiles; now, they are obliged to wear an anxious grimace (怪相).” Today, raw information matters less than it once did.

It’s about expressing a position loudly ____9____ (compete) for attention in an increasingly noisy world. This environment has led to _____10_____ some call “the velocity (速度) of stupidity” — the rapid spread of simplistic, emotional and often poorly reasoned ideas. 【答案】1. landing 2. when 3. to 4. has fallen 5. limited 6. When 7. made 8. used to 9. to compete 10. what 【解析】 【导语】主要探讨纸质媒体衰落带来的诸多影响，包括大众阅读习惯改变、阅读能力下降，以及新闻传播从理性转向情绪化、观点片面化等深层问题。 【1题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：居民区人行道上传来的报纸落地的熟悉声响消失了。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，newspapers与land之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词landing。 【2题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：将树木制成纸张、印上油墨再用车运送至读者手中的流程，或许很快就会像过去人们为家用冰箱运送冰块的年代一样过时。此处引导定语从句，先行词为the old days表时间，从句中缺少时间状语，所以用关系副词when。 【3题详解】 考查介词。句意：然而，报纸的衰落不仅仅是从纸质版面转向电子屏幕这么简单。此处为固定搭配switch from...to...意为“从……转变为……”，所以此处为介词to。 【4题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：据《经济学人》统计，在过去二十年里，以阅读为乐的美国成年人占比下降了百分之四十。此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语in the last 20 years可知，此处要用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has +过去分词”，主语the share为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为has fallen。 【5题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如今的读者习惯了仅限二百八十个字符的简短社交媒体帖子，往往难以静下心来品读经典文学作品。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，posts与limit之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词limited。 【6题详解】 考查状语从句。句意：当人们难以理解复杂的文字内容时，他们又怎能领会复杂的政治与社会理念呢？此处引导状语从句，结合句意，此处表示“当……的时候”，所以用连词when引导的时间状语从句，位于句首，首字母需大写。 【7题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：米尔认为，从理性到情绪化的转变，让负面情绪无处不在。此处为谓语动词，叙述过去提出的观点与相关情况，用一般过去时，所以谓语动词为make的过去式为made。 【8题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：上世纪七十年代，电视新闻主播常常面带微笑，而如今他们却不得不露出焦虑的神情。空后为动词原形，使用情态动词，结合句意，此处表示“过去常常做某事”，固定用法used to do，所以此处为used to。 【9题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这只是为了大声表明立场，在日益纷杂的环境中博取关注。此处为非谓语动词作目的状语，所以用动词不定式to compete。 【10题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：这样的环境催生了一些人所说的“愚昧传播的速度”，也就是片面、情绪化且缺乏逻辑的观点快速蔓延。此处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代事物，所以用连接代词what。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. unreasonable B. practically C. frequently D. conducted E. maintain F. evaluate G. activate H. increased I. connection J. outstanding K. description Developing an original and creative idea requires that two completely different networks in the brain work at the same time: the associative network alongside the more “conservative (保守的)” network, according to new research ___11___ at the University of Haifa. The researchers ___12___ that “creative thinking apparently requires ‘checks and balances’.” According to the researchers, creativity is our ability to think in new ways to solve problems. But not every original solution is considered a creative one. If the idea is not fully applicable, it is not considered creative, but simply one which is ___13___. The researchers assumed that for a creative idea to be produced, the brain must ___14___ a number of different and perhaps even contradictory (矛盾的) networks. In the first part of the research, respondents were given half a minute to come up with a new, original and unexpected idea for the use of different objects. Answers provided with low frequency received a high score for originality, while those given ___15___ received a low score. In the second part, respondents were asked to give, within half a minute, their best characteristic ___16___ of the objects. During the tests, all subjects were scanned using an FMRI device to examine their brain activity while providing the answer. The researchers found ___17___ brain activity in an “associative” region among participants whose originality was high. This region, which includes the medial brain areas, mainly works in the background when a person is not concentrating, similar to daydreaming. But the researchers found that this region did not operate alone when an original answer was given. For the answer to be original, an additional region worked in cooperation with the associative region — the administrative control region, a more “conservative” region related to social norms and rules. The researchers also found that the stronger the ___18___, the better these regions work together in parallel, the greater the level of originality of the answer. “On the one hand, there is surely a need for a region that produces innovative ideas, but on the other hand, there is also the need for one that will know to ___19___ how applicable and reasonable these ideas are. The ability of the brain to operate these two regions in parallel is what results in creativity. It is possible that the most ___20___ creations of humanity were produced by people who had an especially strong connection between the two regions,” the researchers concluded. 【答案】11. D 12. E 13.

Yet, ___21___ all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace, many recent graduates say that they struggle with the ___22___ from classroom to career world and have difficulty ___23___ life on the job. Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case. Lewis believes that most of our school experiences — from childhood through university — are fairly ___24___, while life in the working world is far more uncertain. In school, ___25___, the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant ___26___ is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly. Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are ___27___ to think analytically.

Finally, many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to ___29___ on the job. In the workplace, employees must regularly ____30____ with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success. In other words, if an employee has to work with others to complete a given project, that employee’s ____31____ not only depends on his hard work and expertise, but also on how well his colleagues perform. Knowing how to participate effectively in teamwork — and deal with problems when they arise — is extremely important, and yet, it is also something many students don’t get quite ____32____ to in a school setting. How can we better prepare young adults for the workplace? Recent graduates, looking back on their educational experience, have some ____33____. Many think that all students should be required to do an internship (实习) while they are in school.

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) Switching through the channels last night trying to find something that wasn’t MasterChef (apparently there are versions in 40 countries now), I came across the animated film, Ratatouille, which I’d say is the best ever film about food. The film is a story of how a rat becomes a chef in a top Parisian restaurant — silly, I know, but bear with me. The rat has to defeat two competitors. On the one hand, there’s the head chef who has plans to use the name of the restaurant to brand frozen fast food. He represents the food industry — processed and cheap. On the other hand, we have the painfully thin food critic writing his reviews with a view to finding fault and roasting reputations. He essentially represents what I call the MasterChef-isation of cooking, where drama is created out of subtle, not to say non-existent, differences. When it comes to taste, most of us can’t pick up on subtle differences anyway. Remember when I mentioned that research showed people in blind tests often preferred cheap wine over the super expensive stuff? Turns out, even so-called experts are just as random — judges rate the same wines differently every time. But label it with a price or a high price tag, and suddenly it “tastes better”. That’s what MasterChef is all about: convincing us that unless you cook a potato three fancy ways with a fortune in equipment, it’s essentially inedible. Honestly, the other day I saw a chef reject one of the competitor’s dishes, not because it was semi-cooked, but because the tiny spots of sauce around the edge of the plate were unevenly spaced apart. “I can’t possibly serve that to my customers — start again!” and he dumped it into the bin. And this in a country where the number of food banks providing free food for the poor has doubled in the last year. Which brings me back to Ratatouille and the key scene, which, in contrast to MasterChef, always fills me with joy. The miserable food critic has come to the restaurant to pass judgment on the new chef (the rat). How on earth will they impress him? The little chef prepares a dish of ratatouille (法式炖菜), shocking the other cooks, who are convinced the critic will destroy them because ratatouille is such an ordinary dish. But on tasting the first mouthful, the critic is transported back to his childhood. He remembers coming home upset because he’d fallen over.

B 【解析】 【导语】作者结合动画电影《美食总动员》，批判美食节目刻意放大细节制造戏剧效果，认为食物应承载情感而非追求形式完美。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“He essentially represents what I call the MasterChef-isation of cooking, where drama is created out of subtle, not to say non-existent, differences.(他其实就代表了我所说的MasterChef-isation of cooking，即从细微甚至本不存在的差异中制造戏剧冲突。)”可知，该表达指对烹饪中细枝末节进行戏剧化演绎。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Honestly, the other day I saw a chef reject one of the competitor’s dishes, not because it was semi-cooked, but because the tiny spots of sauce around the edge of the plate were unevenly spaced apart.(说实话，前几天我看到一位主厨淘汰选手菜品，并非因为食材未煮熟，只是因为盘边酱汁点缀间距不均。)”可知，作者举例是为了批判厨师过度纠结无意义的细节。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But on tasting the first mouthful, the critic is transported back to his childhood. He remembers coming home upset because he’d fallen over. His mother sits him down and places a plate of ratatouille before him.(但尝下第一口后，这位评论家回忆起了童年往事，想起自己摔倒难过回家时，母亲为他端上法式炖菜的场景。)”可知，这道菜勾起了他童年温暖的回忆，所以他露出了笑容。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第五段中的“It’s fresh, it’s tasty, but more than anything, it’s the taste of comfort and of a mother’s love.(这道菜新鲜美味，但最重要的是，它饱含慰藉与母爱。)”可知，作者认为食物的核心是情感联结，而非外在形式上的完美。 (B) October Planting Weekend Meeting and contact details Meet at the Benalla Ceramic Mural by the lake at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday before heading out towards the Lurg Hills.

This feeling of being unable to communicate your intended information is what psychologist Carl Jung referred to when he said that loneliness comes not from being alone, but from being “unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.” While such a failure to connect is sometimes owed to poor social skills, there are also other reasons. The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness. Psychologists define epistemic loneliness as the inability to share “the richer mental aspects” of one’s life. To put it another way, it strikes when a person’s unique cognitive world — formed by their specific abilities and deep intellectual interests — finds no echo in others. This is the profound frustration of being mentally “all dressed up but with nowhere to go”. A musician composing a new piece, an educator polishing their teaching philosophy, or a researcher analyzing groundbreaking data all risk this loneliness when their intellectual excitement is met with disinterest from those around them. The frustration of such intellectual divorce is profound, yet a genuine connection is possible. For instance, my conversation with an English professor proved to be resonant and meaningful. This published poet and pianist and I discussed the idea of making complex ideas and experiences something more easily understood by our students, clients, and readers. Because we built bridges to meet one another via shared experiences and backgrounds, cognitive isolation was not experienced that evening. This is not to say that being cognitively connected with others is the only fix to this type of loneliness. Everyone has thoughts, stories, and experiences to share, and as both a nonprofessional and a helping professional, I am happy to hear them. But not everyone in our lives is willing or able to share their thoughts in response to ours. Therefore, a like-minded other, or someone who “gets” it or “gets” us, goes a long way toward eliminating this specific kind of loneliness. Jung’s insight points the way forward: we must seek out those moments where we can speak about what matters most to us and, in doing so, be seen and known for who we are. Ultimately, dancing in dialogue is key. Having a fellow knower who is willing to meet you halfway and who knows some of the steps, or is interested in learning a few new ones, can reduce this type of loneliness. 43. According to the passage, which of the following best describes “epistemic loneliness”? A. The frustration of failing to express complex thoughts clearly. B. The inability to share intellectual life with receptive audience. C. The objective condition of having no one to communicate with. D. The emotional distress caused by a lack of shared social identity. 44. Why does the author mention the conversation with the English professor? A. To contrast academic dialogue with everyday conversation. B. To advocate for structured solutions to intellectual isolation. C. To highlight the scarcity of genuine intellectual connections. D. To illustrate how shared backgrounds eases social loneliness. 45. The metaphor of “dancing in dialogue” is used to suggest that meaningful communication __________. A. is a mutually responsive and adaptive exchange B. depends more on one party’s expressive skills C. functions like a performance for passive audiences D. benefits from established conversational patterns 46. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To contrast social isolation with psychological loneliness. B. To analyze the philosophical origins of Carl Jung’s theories. C. To define a type of loneliness and explore ways to address it. D. To promote the professional methods of psychological consulting. 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐释认知孤独并探讨缓解它的有效途径。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While such a failure to connect is sometimes owed to poor social skills, there are also other reasons. The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness.(虽然这种沟通上的隔阂有时是因为社交能力欠佳，但也存在其他原因。这种特殊的体验——尽管有能力分享自己的想法与经历，内心却感到疏离与孤独——被称为认知孤独)”及第三段中“Psychologists define epistemic loneliness as the inability to share “the richer mental aspects” of one’s life. To put it another way, it strikes when a person’s unique cognitive world — formed by their specific abilities and deep intellectual interests — finds no echo in others.(心理学家将认知孤独定义为：一个人无法分享自己生命中“更丰富的精神层面”。换句话说，当一个人由独特能力与深厚智识兴趣所构成的独特认知世界，在他人那里得不到共鸣时，这种孤独感便会袭来)”可知，认知孤独是指无法与有共鸣的听众分享智力生活。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“For instance, my conversation with an English professor proved to be resonant and meaningful. This published poet and pianist and I discussed the idea of making complex ideas and experiences something more easily understood by our students, clients, and readers. Because we built bridges to meet one another via shared experiences and backgrounds, cognitive isolation was not experienced that evening.(例如，我与一位英语教授的交谈就充满共鸣，意义非凡。这位既是出版诗人又是钢琴家的学者，和我一同探讨了如何让复杂的思想与经历更容易被学生、客户和读者理解。因为我们通过共同的经历和背景搭建了沟通的桥梁，那晚我并未感到认知上的孤独)”可知，作者提到与英语教授的对话是为了说明共同的背景如何缓解社交孤独。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, dancing in dialogue is key. Having a fellow knower who is willing to meet you halfway and who knows some of the steps, or is interested in learning a few new ones, can reduce this type of loneliness.(归根结底，在对话中相伴共舞才是关键。拥有一位愿意与你相向而行、知晓其中一些舞步，或者有兴趣学习几个新舞步的知音，能够减轻这种孤独感)”可知，“对话共舞”这个比喻用来暗示有意义的交流是一种相互回应和适应的交流。故选A。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第二段中“The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness. (这种特殊的体验——尽管有能力分享自己的想法与经历，内心却感到疏离与孤独——被称为认知孤独)”可知，文章主要解释了认知孤独的定义，并通过举例说明和荣格的见解探讨了缓解认知孤独的方法。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是定义一种孤独并探索解决它的方法。故选C。 (D) Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Without stopping to think, the lad （少年） offered to take his place. ___49___. This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. If the lad had gone home to ponder （考虑） his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

People find jobs in an infinite number of ways. 人们通过各种各样的方式找工作。符合语境。故填B。 【48题详解】 根据下文He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them.可知，他过去常常把许多空闲时间花在海上观看高大的船只上，但从来没有想过有一天他会驾驶其中的一艘。所以选项承接下文。D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor. 举一个想要当水手的年轻男人的例子。符合语境。故选D。 【49题详解】 根据上文Without stopping to think the lad （少年） offered to take his place.，少年好不犹豫的接替了他的位置。承接上文，故F选项驾驶着他热爱的船只，高兴地渡过余生。符合语境。故选F。 【50题详解】 根据上文Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）有的人打破常规也能得到美差。选项与上一句为转折关系。E.

Tom appeared ________ (complete) all his missions within the given time on his own. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to have completed 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆似乎已经在规定时间内独自完成了所有任务。分析句子可知，此处为固定结构：appear to do sth 表示“似乎/好像做某事”，因此空格首先需要接不定式形式。句中 “完成所有任务”是已经发生的动作，发生在主句谓语 appeared（看起来）之前。此时要用不定式的完成式 to have done，强调非谓语动作先于主句动作完成。动词 complete的过去分词为completed。 62. ________ (not know) how to deal with the unexpected situation, Nancy turned to us for help. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Not knowing 【解析】 【详解】句意：南希不知如何应对突发状况，便向我们求助。此处非谓语作原因状语，know与逻辑主语Nancy为主动关系，否定形式用not knowing，位于句首单词首字母需大写。 63.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】have been blamed 【解析】 【详解】句意：这难道不是你第四次因为上课迟到而被老师责备了吗？固定句型“It/This is the + 序数词 + time that + 现在完成时”，表示“这是第几次做某事”，that从句中需用现在完成时；主语you与blame之间是被动关系，因此用现在完成时的被动语态，谓语用have been blamed。 64.

It’s required by the teacher that all the exercise books ________ (turn) in early the next morning. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】be turned##should be turned 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师要求所有作业本次日清晨尽早上交。该句为it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正主语，require后的从句谓语动词用虚拟语气，谓语动词形式为“should do”，should可以省略，books和turn in是被动关系，所以谓语动词为(should) be turned。 66. Peter happened ________ (pass) by when they spoke ill of him. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to be passing 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们背地里说彼得坏话时，他恰巧正路过。此处为固定句型happen to do sth.，表示“碰巧做某事”，结合“when they spoke ill of him”可知，此处表示动作正在进行，所以此处使用不定式的进行式，即to be passing。 67. What is the plan you think of ________ (improve) your English? (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to improve 【解析】 【详解】句意：你想到的用来提高英语的计划是什么？分析句子可知，you think of 是省略了关系代词 that/which 的定语从句，修饰先行词the plan；of 的宾语是前面的关系代词，不衔接后面空格，和后面空格无关。the plan to do sth 为固定搭配，不定式作后置定语，表示“做某事的计划”，因此用 to improve。 68. ________ (take) aim at what you want to be, and consistently work hard to get closer to your goal. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Take 【解析】 【详解】句意：瞄准你想成为的样子，并持续努力工作以更接近你的目标。这是一个由and连接的并列句，前半句(take) aim at what you want to be缺少谓语，该句为祈使句，祈使句以动词原形开头，表示命令、建议、请求等，所以用Take。 69. Seeing nobody in the classroom, he did nothing but ________ (leave) instantly. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】leave 【解析】 【详解】句意：看到教室里没有人，他除了立刻离开之外什么也没做。固定句型“do nothing but + 动词原形”，意为“除了做……什么也不做”，本空用leave。 70.

What Died With Print Media At the end of last year, something changed in Atlanta. The familiar sound of newspapers ____1____ (land) on sidewalks in residential neighborhoods disappeared. Like many other newspapers across the country, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution stopped publishing print editions. The process of turning trees into paper, marking them with ink, and trucking them to readers may soon be as outdated as the old days ____2____ men delivered blocks of ice for family iceboxes. However, the decline of newspapers is about more than just switching from paper ____3____ digital screens. It signals deeper changes in how we think, read and understand the world around us. According to The Economist, the share of American adults who read for pleasure ____4____ (fall) by 40 percent in the last 20 years. At the same time, students’ ability to read extensively with good comprehension is also falling. An Oxford professor of English notes that they lack “habits of application and concentration.” Today’s readers, accustomed to quick social media posts ____5____ (limit) to 280 characters, often find it difficult to engage with classic literature. How many people today have the patience for such a long, detailed story? ____6____ people struggle with complex writing, can they grasp complex political and social ideas? According to Mir, journalism stopped being about informing people and began to be about making them anxious. The shift from rationality (理性) to emotionality, Mir suggested, ____7____ (make) negativity everywhere. We see this in headlines every day. Mir humorously notes that modern journalists might have a special key on their keyboards that automatically types “experts are warning of.” “In the 1970s, TV anchors ____8____ wear smiles; now, they are obliged to wear an anxious grimace (怪相).” Today, raw information matters less than it once did. Now, opinion often dominates, and opinion is frequently distilled (提炼) into simple “attitude.” In our digital age, attitude is performative. It’s about expressing a position loudly ____9____ (compete) for attention in an increasingly noisy world. This environment has led to _____10_____ some call “the velocity (速度) of stupidity” — the rapid spread of simplistic, emotional and often poorly reasoned ideas. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. unreasonable B. practically C. frequently D. conducted E. maintain F. evaluate G. activate H. increased I. connection J. outstanding K. description Developing an original and creative idea requires that two completely different networks in the brain work at the same time: the associative network alongside the more “conservative (保守的)” network, according to new research ___11___ at the University of Haifa. The researchers ___12___ that “creative thinking apparently requires ‘checks and balances’.” According to the researchers, creativity is our ability to think in new ways to solve problems. But not every original solution is considered a creative one. If the idea is not fully applicable, it is not considered creative, but simply one which is ___13___. The researchers assumed that for a creative idea to be produced, the brain must ___14___ a number of different and perhaps even contradictory (矛盾的) networks. In the first part of the research, respondents were given half a minute to come up with a new, original and unexpected idea for the use of different objects. Answers provided with low frequency received a high score for originality, while those given ___15___ received a low score. In the second part, respondents were asked to give, within half a minute, their best characteristic ___16___ of the objects. During the tests, all subjects were scanned using an FMRI device to examine their brain activity while providing the answer. The researchers found ___17___ brain activity in an “associative” region among participants whose originality was high. This region, which includes the medial brain areas, mainly works in the background when a person is not concentrating, similar to daydreaming. But the researchers found that this region did not operate alone when an original answer was given. For the answer to be original, an additional region worked in cooperation with the associative region — the administrative control region, a more “conservative” region related to social norms and rules. The researchers also found that the stronger the ___18___, the better these regions work together in parallel, the greater the level of originality of the answer. “On the one hand, there is surely a need for a region that produces innovative ideas, but on the other hand, there is also the need for one that will know to ___19___ how applicable and reasonable these ideas are. The ability of the brain to operate these two regions in parallel is what results in creativity. It is possible that the most ___20___ creations of humanity were produced by people who had an especially strong connection between the two regions,” the researchers concluded. III. Reading comprehension (共 45 分) Section A (共 15 分，每题 1 分) Directions: Find each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Like many students, Ryan believes that the time and money spent on his education will pay off: he will eventually be able to get a good job and do well in the field he has chosen. Yet, ___21___ all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace, many recent graduates say that they struggle with the ___22___ from classroom to career world and have difficulty ___23___ life on the job. Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case. Lewis believes that most of our school experiences — from childhood through university — are fairly ___24___, while life in the working world is far more uncertain. In school, ___25___, the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant ___26___ is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly. Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are ___27___ to think analytically. In school, many students including those in college, spend a lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they “learned” on tests. But in the workplace employees “are often expected to think critically and make ___28___ about their work, not just follow a supervisor’s instructions.” Less time needs to be spent in school on testing, says one recent report, and more on helping students to analyze and interpret information, solve problems, and communicate their ideas effectively — skills that will prepare them to succeed in today’s workplace. Finally, many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to ___29___ on the job. In the workplace, employees must regularly ____30____ with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success. In other words, if an employee has to work with others to complete a given project, that employee’s ____31____ not only depends on his hard work and expertise, but also on how well his colleagues perform. Knowing how to participate effectively in teamwork — and deal with problems when they arise — is extremely important, and yet, it is also something many students don’t get quite ____32____ to in a school setting. How can we better prepare young adults for the workplace? Recent graduates, looking back on their educational experience, have some ____33____. Many think that all students should be required to do an internship (实习) while they are in school. Volunteering part time at a company, hospital, or government organization, for example, can help one gain experience and learn skills needed to succeed in the real world. ____34____ this kind of practical work experience with classroom instruction, say the graduates, will help prepare students for the ____35____ of the workplace and make the transition from school to career world less stressful. 21.

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) Switching through the channels last night trying to find something that wasn’t MasterChef (apparently there are versions in 40 countries now), I came across the animated film, Ratatouille, which I’d say is the best ever film about food. The film is a story of how a rat becomes a chef in a top Parisian restaurant — silly, I know, but bear with me. The rat has to defeat two competitors. On the one hand, there’s the head chef who has plans to use the name of the restaurant to brand frozen fast food. He represents the food industry — processed and cheap. On the other hand, we have the painfully thin food critic writing his reviews with a view to finding fault and roasting reputations. He essentially represents what I call the MasterChef-isation of cooking, where drama is created out of subtle, not to say non-existent, differences. When it comes to taste, most of us can’t pick up on subtle differences anyway. Remember when I mentioned that research showed people in blind tests often preferred cheap wine over the super expensive stuff? Turns out, even so-called experts are just as random — judges rate the same wines differently every time. But label it with a price or a high price tag, and suddenly it “tastes better”. That’s what MasterChef is all about: convincing us that unless you cook a potato three fancy ways with a fortune in equipment, it’s essentially inedible. Honestly, the other day I saw a chef reject one of the competitor’s dishes, not because it was semi-cooked, but because the tiny spots of sauce around the edge of the plate were unevenly spaced apart. “I can’t possibly serve that to my customers — start again!” and he dumped it into the bin. And this in a country where the number of food banks providing free food for the poor has doubled in the last year. Which brings me back to Ratatouille and the key scene, which, in contrast to MasterChef, always fills me with joy. The miserable food critic has come to the restaurant to pass judgment on the new chef (the rat). How on earth will they impress him? The little chef prepares a dish of ratatouille (法式炖菜), shocking the other cooks, who are convinced the critic will destroy them because ratatouille is such an ordinary dish. But on tasting the first mouthful, the critic is transported back to his childhood. He remembers coming home upset because he’d fallen over. His mother sits him down and places a plate of ratatouille before him. It’s fresh, it’s tasty, but more than anything, it’s the taste of comfort and of a mother’s love. The critic smiles. 36. What does the writer mean by “MasterChef-isation of cooking”? A. The celebration of traditional cooking styles. B. The dramatization of minor aspects of cooking. C. The focus on cost-effective cooking techniques. D. The simplification of complex cooking methods. 37. Why does the writer mention the chef in paragraph 4? A. To criticize the chef’s focus on meaningless details. B. To explain why chefs reject improperly cooked dishes. C. To illustrate how cooking skills are evaluated in competitions. D. To highlight how strict professional standards can be in cooking. 38. Why does the food critic in Ratatouille smile after tasting the ratatouille? A. He is impressed by the chef’s advanced cooking skills. B. He is relieved that the dish is not overly complicated. C. He recalls a comforting memory from his childhood. D. He appreciates the use of ordinary stuff in the dish. 39. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Food competitions are essential for improving cooking standards. B. Food should focus on emotional connection rather than perfection. C. Cooking should prioritize expensive food and advanced techniques. D. Professional chefs should emphasize visual presentation above all else.

This feeling of being unable to communicate your intended information is what psychologist Carl Jung referred to when he said that loneliness comes not from being alone, but from being “unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.” While such a failure to connect is sometimes owed to poor social skills, there are also other reasons. The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness. Psychologists define epistemic loneliness as the inability to share “the richer mental aspects” of one’s life. To put it another way, it strikes when a person’s unique cognitive world — formed by their specific abilities and deep intellectual interests — finds no echo in others. This is the profound frustration of being mentally “all dressed up but with nowhere to go”. A musician composing a new piece, an educator polishing their teaching philosophy, or a researcher analyzing groundbreaking data all risk this loneliness when their intellectual excitement is met with disinterest from those around them. The frustration of such intellectual divorce is profound, yet a genuine connection is possible. For instance, my conversation with an English professor proved to be resonant and meaningful. This published poet and pianist and I discussed the idea of making complex ideas and experiences something more easily understood by our students, clients, and readers. Because we built bridges to meet one another via shared experiences and backgrounds, cognitive isolation was not experienced that evening. This is not to say that being cognitively connected with others is the only fix to this type of loneliness. Everyone has thoughts, stories, and experiences to share, and as both a nonprofessional and a helping professional, I am happy to hear them. But not everyone in our lives is willing or able to share their thoughts in response to ours. Therefore, a like-minded other, or someone who “gets” it or “gets” us, goes a long way toward eliminating this specific kind of loneliness. Jung’s insight points the way forward: we must seek out those moments where we can speak about what matters most to us and, in doing so, be seen and known for who we are. Ultimately, dancing in dialogue is key. Having a fellow knower who is willing to meet you halfway and who knows some of the steps, or is interested in learning a few new ones, can reduce this type of loneliness. 43. According to the passage, which of the following best describes “epistemic loneliness”? A. The frustration of failing to express complex thoughts clearly. B. The inability to share intellectual life with receptive audience. C. The objective condition of having no one to communicate with. D. The emotional distress caused by a lack of shared social identity. 44. Why does the author mention the conversation with the English professor? A. To contrast academic dialogue with everyday conversation. B. To advocate for structured solutions to intellectual isolation. C. To highlight the scarcity of genuine intellectual connections. D. To illustrate how shared backgrounds eases social loneliness. 45. The metaphor of “dancing in dialogue” is used to suggest that meaningful communication __________. A. is a mutually responsive and adaptive exchange B. depends more on one party’s expressive skills C. functions like a performance for passive audiences D. benefits from established conversational patterns 46. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To contrast social isolation with psychological loneliness. B. To analyze the philosophical origins of Carl Jung’s theories. C. To define a type of loneliness and explore ways to address it. D. To promote the professional methods of psychological consulting.
