D.Online sign-up option: B Late last spring,I had some personal problems and felt I needed help with my feelings.I once heard that reading a sea-themed cartoon and lifting weights would make me feel better,but I had already tried both,and they did not work. What I wanted was a book that could give me advice on how to live the rest of my life in a meaningful way.Then I remembered that a philosopher named Baruch Spinoza was known for offering real comfort through his writings.I had wanted to read his most famous book,The Ethics,for a long time.I thought it was finally time to let his words calm me down. There was one problem:The Ethics is known to be very hard to understand.So I posted on social media and asked my friends if they would like to read it together with me.To my surprise, nearly 40 people said yes.I made a 10-week reading plan,and we started. Nearly half of the group left after the first few meetings,but the rest stayed.We met every Sunday online.Often;we came to the meetings confused by what Spinoza had written.But after 。4· an hour of discussion,we would leave with a little more understanding.By the time we reached the last chapter,our group felt very excited. We realized that being together with others,fecling connected to the world,and accepting the paths our lives had taken-these were things we already had all along.I felt saved,and I was thankful. Why did we do this to ourselves?None of us are philosophy professors.We have busy jobs and many adult responsibilities.But the experience was worthwhile.Friendship grows when a group works hard on a difficult task together.Learning can be painful and pleasant at the same time-and most importantly,it is shared. I enjoy easy things too.But slowly,I have noticed that modern life often pushes us to accept too many quick and simple pleasures.Reading a hard book will not change that,or fix anything. Still,for at least a few hours each week,I can give my full attention-together with friends- to something that requires real mental effort.And I feel a satisfying kind of tiredness at the end. 24.Why did the author want to read Spinoza's book? A.Toget comfort. B..To find guidance. C.Toimprove ability. D.To impress friends. 25.What does "worthwhile"(para.6)most likely mean? A.Useful and valuable B.Responsible and fun C.Painful but fruitful D.Difficult but educational 26.What lesson do I learn from this reading experienee? A.Tiredness places people under great pressure. B.Reading books is a special treat in modern life. C.Mental effort improves personal communication. D.People may find meaning in demanding activities. 27.What is the passage mainly about? A.Normal people's figuring out Spinoza's hard ideas B.Reading ahard book as a team-building challenge C.The real secret togetting through big and difficult books D.From being confused online to feeling better in modern life C Some people might think that a book about "the influence of the horse on human history" couldn't possibly be interesting.But in fact,Timothy C.Winegard's The Horse is fascinating.It offers a fresh way of looking at how important horses were to human development.And the book almost didn't happen-because horses almost didn't survive. At the end of the Ice Age,sudden climate changes drove horses to the edge of extinction. ·5· The animal,once found across much of the world,became largely limited to an area from Eastern Europe to Central Asia.There,they were hunted mainly for food. Horses might have gone the way of their extinct relatives if humans had not domesticated them like cattle.Then,one day,someone decided to jump on the back of a milder-tempered horse.That simple act started a revolution that changed the world. Riding horses helped farmers take care of more sheep and goats.It also helped hunters cover more ground.When horses replaced cattle,their greater speed allowed more land to be plowed( )This increased crop production and changed farmers from people who only grew food for themselves into exporters of goods. Inevitably,horses became instruments of war.At first,they pulled war vehicles carrying archers.Later,they carried soldiers directly into battle.The earliest known true cavalry ( unit belonged to the Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta II. In a fairly short time,cavalry units made the difference in battle.Those nations that had horses won wars;those that didn't tried to get them.In many ways,these conflicts created the world we live in today.Alexander the Great extended his cmpirc-and Greek culture-through Persia and India and beyond,thanks to the success of his cavalry.Moorish invaders brought math and science to Europe on horseback. Horses were also the deciding factor in the Battle of Hastings.There,William,the Duke of Normandy-who had cavalry-soundly defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson. That victory created the modern British state. The Horse is a well-researched book.It is interesting,charming,and entertaining.But as the author might say:I can lead you to a bookstore,but I can't make you read. 28.What first helped the horse avoid extinction? A.Being hunted for food. B.Being limited to an area. C.Being raised by human. D.Adapting to climate changes. 29.As a result of using horses in farming,farmers could A.hunt more animals B.produce more crops C.raise more cattle D.cover more ground 30.What does the author imply by the underlined sentence in paragraph 6? A.Horses were in greater demand than other equipment. B.Nations without horses focused on trade instead. C.The value of horses was recognized after wars. D.Winning wars was the way to get horses. 31.Why did the author write this passage? A.To introduce and recommend. B.To analyze and conclude. C.To explain and inspire. D.To describe and encourage. 。6· D Things don't stay tidy by themselves.If you leave your desk for a week without cleaning it, papers pile up,dust collects,and things end up in the wrong places.The same happens with a room,a box,or even the universe.In nature,systems naturally move from order to disorder unless we use energy to keep them organized.This idea is known as the second law of thermodynamics(热力学)，which says that entropy一a measure of disorder一tends to increase over time. To help explain this,imagine a box divided into two parts,filled with gas particles ( moving at different speeds.Normally,the particles mix together freely,and the system becomes more disordered.In the 19th century,a physicist named James Clerk Maxwell came up with a famous thought experiment.He imagined a tiny,intelligent being-later called "Maxwell's demon"-that could open and close a small door between the two sections.The demon would let only fast-moving particles pass one way and only slow-moving ones pass the other way.()ver time,this would separate the particles and create order,seemingly without using any energy. If order could be created for free,that would seem to break the second law of thermodynamics.For years,scientists were confused and debated whether the law was always true.They wondered if something else一like information一could act as a real--life“demon.” So researchers at the University of Maryland built a model to test this.Their model described a device that could separate particles and reduce disorder in one part of a system.But here's the key:the device did not break the second law.Instead of using outside energy,it used stored information to track and control the particles.In doing so,it moved disorder from the physical system into its own memory.As researcher Dibyendu Mandal explains,the order created in one place is balanced by more disorder somewhere else.The overall balance required by thermodynamics is always maintained. This shows that information is not just an abstract idea-it is connected to real physical processes.Machines based on this principle probably won't produce large amounts of energy,but they could still be useful.For example,they might help scientists control tiny particles more precisely in experiments or improve medical techniques.What started as a simple thought experiment has helped us better understand how order,energy,and information are all linked. 32.Why does the author mention an untidy desk? A.To explain a science idea. B.To question if disorder is avoidable. C.To link habits to science thinking. D.To compare human behaviors. 33.What must Maxwell's "demon"do to sort particles? A.Speed up some particles. B.Use outside energy. C.Stop particles from moving. D.Watch and record particle information. 。7. 34.What can we infer about information's role? A.It replaces energy. B.It allows no-cost operation. C.It moves disorder elsewhere. D.It helps process large data. 35.What is the author's view of the second law? A.Maxwell's idea shows its limits. B.It is still correct. C.It fits large systems best. D.Smart control can break it. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Many people believe that learning should be easy.There is a myth:if you find the right method,learning will become easy.People search for the perfect system to avoid struggle.36 Learning is a process of friction ()requiring you to sit with confusion and discomfort until clarity appears.This is hard learning-it demands effort without immediate reward. When people avoid struggle,they turn to passive learning -watching videos,reading summaries and feeling productive.But passive exposure creates only familiarity,not mastery. 37 It is slower,more frustrating.It involves rereading the same paragraph,attempting problems without knowing the answer,and failing repeatedly before getting it right.This process feels slow and painful.There is no instant reward,only gradual improvement. One key element is deliberate repetition-returning to material with deeper attention each time.What was once confusing becomes familiar;what was familiar becomes clear;what was clear becomes flexible. 38 Hard learning requires you to think,not just consume.You must explain ideas in your own words,test your understanding,and apply knowledge in new contexts.This turns knowledge into ability.Learning that avoids struggle rarely lasts. There is also a psychological barrier.Many people mistake difficulty for failure,thinking they are not good at it.39 Look at experts in any field:they rely on hard learning-they don't run from difficulty.Their success is built on long hours of focused effort,repeated attempts,and willingness to stay with complexity.No method can replace effort.Techniques guide you,but cannot do the work for you. In the end,learning is not about avoiding difficulty-it is about building the ability to move through it.40 A.Hard learning is different. B.Another key aspect is active engagement. C.Challenging yourself is the key to progress. D.This process feels uncomfortable but necessary. E.And the sooner you accept that,the sooner your learning becomes real. F.But the truth is far less pleasant:real learning is not designed to be easy. G.In reality,difficulty is not a sign of inability-it is a sign that learning is happening. 。8· 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 For nearly twenty years.I've studied what makes some people luckier than others.Luck isn 't a lightning strike-it's more like the wind,always 41.The difference lies in whether we' ve built a sail to 42 it.

Basketball ran in the family-his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college,and Rainy was expected to follow in his brother's footsteps.But Rainy had a secret:his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead,Rainy jumped on a bus heading home.Through the window,his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (danced effortlessly.He couldn't look away.For months now,cheerleading had been on his mind.Reaching into his bookbag,he pulled out a poster:CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS ()This was what he really wanted.

He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago,Rainy once told his best friend Danny about his dream."Cheerleading is girly,Danny said."You're so good at basketball.Why throw that away?"Rainy stood his ground."This is where I want to put my strength,"he insisted.Over time,Danny began to understand and support him.Still,Rainy kept his passion hidden from his family. ·11· Secretly,Rainy trained with two cheerleaders.Cheerleading didn't come naturally-every move demanded more than basketball ever had.But month by month,he improved.Maybe,just maybe,he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team.But right now,after his basketball tryout,he had to face his family. As soon as Rainy arrived home,his parents were at the door. “So…?"his father asked.
