However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest: University of Missouri When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym. High Point University If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead. Set on Hall University If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate. New York University If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends. 36. What can we learn from Paragraph1? A. It is hard to be admitted to a university. B. A university’s fame is the top consideration. C. The competition to attract applicants is fierce. D. Extra benefits makes no difference to applicants. 37. What can we learn about the fitness center in the University of Missouri? A. Its equipment is out of date. B. It is the best one in the world. C. It has a real beach there. D. It can arouse students’ interest in workout. 38. Which university offers extra benefit of food? A. University of Missouri. B. High Point University. C. Seton Hall University. D. New York University. 39. What can be guaranteed for students choosing Seton Hall University? A. Free tuition. B. Free accommodation. C. Free computers D. High graduation rate. 40. Which of the following is true of New York University? A. It is located in the center of the city. B. It houses the best museums in the world. C. All the museums are open to its students for free. D. Museums are usually closed on the weekends. B I was physically destroyed the first time I rode my bike home from Costco carrying a load of groceries. The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs and the suspicion that I had made a mistake. A month earlier, my 23-year-old minivan broke down for the last time. Rather than replace it, I decided a new “car-free” reality would encourage a healthier lifestyle. My aching muscles questioned the viability (可行性) of this plan. Three years later, I now know that giving up my car was the first step toward solving a lifelong struggle: maintaining consistent physical activity. What started as a necessity-I had no car, so I must bike became a strategy: Errands (差事) are an opportunity for exercise. I began seeking out new errands just for the exercise they would provide. Rain or shine, I became an errand-running machine. For most of my adult life, I’d been trying, and failing, to consistently exercise. Only now, as I hit my 60th birthday, did I feel I’d finally figured it out. Michelle Fortier, a physical activity psychologist, mentioned that outside motivations, like doctors warnings and weight insecurities, do not result in lasting behavior change. “That can get people started, but it will not maintain their physical activity,” Dr. Fortier said. My own behavior change, Dr. Fortier explained, was probably the result of combining two intrinsically (内在地) generated motivations that had nothing to do with body-image fears or outside pressures: I love to ride my bike, and I love the satisfaction of getting things done. Recognizing that day-to-day tasks often involve movement is an opportunity to build physical activity habits into our everyday lives. But you’d better pay attention to the pleasure principle, begin with what you like, and then work yourself into shape. 41. How did the author find his first-time biking trip to and from Costco? A. Very confusing. B. Extremely tiring. C. Rather worrying. D. Deeply embarrassing. 42. What problem did the author face before giving up his car? A. He lacked enough money to buy a new one. B. He was too busy to ride a bike to a grocery shop. C. He had difficulty in doing physical activity regularly. D. He found it challenging to drive a car over a long distance. 43. In paragraph 5, the author mentions Michelle Fortier to show _________. A. the benefits of running errands B. the challenges in behavior change C. the importance of regular exercise D. the importance of intrinsic motivations 44. What played an important role in the author’s lasting behavior change? A. A sense of satisfaction. B. Warnings from doctors. C. Tips from a psychologist. D. A fear for his growing weight. 45. What would be the best title for the text? A. How I Overcame Outside Pressures B. How I Turned My Errands into Exercise C. Why I Became a Fast-Running Machine D. Why I Dreamed of a “Car-Free” Lifestyle C For a long time, science and culture held that the human sense of smell was underdeveloped, especially compared to animals. This belief was started by 19th-century thinkers and strengthened by a poorly supported study from the 1920s. As a result, smell has long been seen as the least important of the human senses. However, new research challenges this misunderstanding. Scientists have found that the human nose is far more skilled than once thought. In carefully managed experiments, humans can detect certain smells at levels lower than many animals, including rats, bats, and some monkeys. For example, the special smell added to natural gas to warn us of leaks can be sensed by humans even when only a few drops are mixed into an amount of water as large as an Olympic swimming pool. The power of smell goes far beyond simple detection; it strongly influences human behavior, often unconsciously. The weak smell of cleaning products, for example, can lead people to clean up. The familiar smell of coffee actually improves focus and mental performance. Stores often use “scent marketing”, understanding that the smell of fresh bread can create a friendly environment, and raise the chance of buying things. The way the human brain processes smell is also quite different from other senses. While vision provides a detailed map of our surroundings, smell creates a holistic impression, mixed with inputs from other senses and emotions. The awareness of a lemon’s smell, for example, can be made stronger by its bright yellow color. Similarly, feelings of hunger or memories of past sickness can greatly change how we experience food smells, making them either attractive or unpleasant. This deep link between smell, memory, and emotion explains why smell loss (anosmia) can so severely damage one’s quality of life. As experienced by millions during the COVID-19 pandemic, anosmia can lead to a loss of appetite, as much of flavor comes from smell, and can cause sadness and emotional disconnection. It can make people feel separated from the world and their memories. Clearly, our sense of smell is not minor or unnecessary. It is a complex and powerful tool that continuously and quietly guides our interactions with the world, protects our well-being, and adds a rich, emotional layer to life. 46. What is the traditional belief about the human sense of smell? A. Superior to animals’. B. Key to emotional memory. C. Weak and unimportant. D. Complex but misunderstood. 47. What is implied by the gas leak example? A. Dogs are unnecessary for gas detection. B. Humans can smell better than believed. C. Human safety relies mainly on smell. D. The study aimed to compare species. 48. What do we learn about smell from Paragraph 4? A. It gives environmental analysis. B. It is key to human survival. C. It combines senses and feelings. D. It works without consciousness. 49. What is a possible result of anosmia? A. Permanent taste loss. B. Better work concentration. C. Connection with the world. D. Depression and isolation. 50. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To revalue the importance of smell. B. To explain the causes of smell loss. C. To discuss the history of perfume. D. To describe the process of smelling. D “A lie is halfway around the world before the truth has got its boots on.” It’s a well-known saying. But a more accurate version would be: “A confidently told lie is halfway around the world before the truth has got its boots on.” Because basically, we humans are far more likely to accept and believe information delivered confidently. By a confident person, or by a source using confident language, etc. When two or more people are involved in a decision-making process where they know different things, confidently expressed arguments are perceived as delivering better information, which determines the decision. And as the modern world has shown us repeatedly, this regularly leads to undesirable outcomes. Why would this tendency come about? Well, humans are highly gregarious, and during our evolutionary (进化的) development, most of our information about the world came from other people. So, if ancient humans heard someone confidently declare “There’s a tiger coming”, instinctively (本能地) believing them was a valuable survival skill. Confidently delivered information may be more persuasive, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct, even if the confident person genuinely believes it is. We’ve all met someone who confidently lectures others on how the world works, despite being wrong about literally everything. It’s the Dunning-Kruger effect, where people with low ability/experience/knowledge about something often significantly overestimate their abilities/ expertise regarding it. This is because the ability to recognize your intellectual limits requires sufficient intelligence. Lacking that, you won’t question your (limited) understanding, so you can mouth laughable nonsense with total confidence. We live in a highly interconnected, increasingly complex society, where countless people and worldviews end up overlapping (重叠) constantly. So, someone who is objectively, unquestionably wrong, but still unshakably confident can end up convincing many others that they’re right. Left unchecked, it can end up with individuals with no abilities beyond unshakeable confidence being put in charge. And that won’t end well for anyone. 51. What tendency is presented about humans in the first two paragraphs? A. Hating bad results much. B. Believing lies too easily. C. Trusting confident statements. D. Lacking decision-making skills. 52. What does the underlined word “gregarious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sensitive. B. Competitive. C. Ignorant. D. Social. 53. Why do some people fall into the Dunning-Kruger effect? A. They aren’t wise enough. B. They are hard to persuade. C. They aren’t questioned by experts. D. They are afraid of admitting mistakes. 54. In what tone is the last paragraph written? A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Enthusiastic. D. Concerned. 55. Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the text? A. Confident people are always right. B. Confidence always leads to positive outcomes. C. Confidence can mislead people. D. Lies are easier to detect than truths. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共35分） 第三部分：写作（共两节；满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Did you ever wonder where Legos come from? A box? A toy store? A factory? Yes. But where did they first come from? Who invented them? What was that person’s story? When you learn about the Lego story, you will be surprised! Like many great inventions, the story is not just one of the great ideas, but of a ton of hard work, perseverance (坚持) and courage. The story starts off in Denmark. Ole Kirk Christiansen was a carpenter who was struggling with his business. Then, his wife, the mother of his 4 boys, died. This was very hard for everyone. He was looking for new ways to make money and to make his kids happy. So, he started making wooden toys. They were of great quality. His 4 sons helped him with his business and, soon, word spread and big orders started coming in. But then the toys did not sell very well. He decided his toys needed a new name. He chose the name “Lego”, which in Danish means “play well”. Then, a few years later, his workshop was burned to the ground. Everything was destroyed. Ole almost gave up. But he decided it was very important to support his employees and kids. Not long after, he started to make a few plastic toys. He then got the idea to create a ‘system’ of toys that would build kids’ imagination and creativity. He built a village to test the idea. And the idea caught on quickly! Soon sales were pouring in. Then he figured out how to connect the pieces to each other. Soon he decided to stop making wooden toys and focus only on the connected plastic toys. Then they started to build more and more kinds of models. Each one had to be of the highest quality. Lego’s motto is “only the best is good enough”. Thanks to the perseverance of Ole and his sons, kids around the world can enjoy Lego toys, movies, amusement parks, clothing and much more. 56. Why did Ole start making wooden toys?

After looking at the pie chart, I’d like to share my opinions on healthy screen time. The chart shows how students spend screen time on weekends. Entertainment like games and videos takes up 45%, the largest part. Social media accounts for 30%, while learning only makes up 20%. Other uses take merely 5%. Clearly, most students waste most screen time on fun instead of study. Too much screen entertainment causes lots of problems. It harms our eyes and ruins our sleep. Worse still, it takes up time for outdoor exercise and face-to-face communication, making us weak and less sociable. To solve this, we should set strict time limits for entertainment. Besides, we can combine screen time with online learning to make screens serve our growth. Only in this way can we keep a healthy digital lifestyle. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
