二、阅读理解
The first thing I can tell you about Thabo, my South Africa guide, was that he is the world’s worst driver. From the airport to the heart of the city, he did 100 km per hour, bypassing lorries, motorbikes and taxi-vans crowed with people. The second thing was that he knew everybody and everything about Cape Town. This was good for me.
On the first day, Thabo took me to the suburbs with unpronounceable names — ORanjezicht — from where you can watch the sun go down on Africa. The next day we went to Cape Flats, the run-down township where the buildings were made of cardboard and rusty (生锈的)iron. It was truly vast — nearly a million people live here, side by side. Skinny dogs slid out of the way as Thabo zoomed along roads of mud and rotting rubbish. Some people waved, others stared. Children ran barefoot by the car.
Later that night we walked around the busy Victoria, Cape Town’s most fashionable area. The contrast from the township could not be greater: the smells of cooking rose from the kitchens — Asian, French, Italian. The bars and restaurants were packed, and I soon found out why. Cape Town is a paradise for gourmets (美食家), seafood-lovers and people like me, who just like eating. We went into a charming little pubs, and Thabo told me I couln’t leave Cape Town without trying some Cape seafood, so I did. It’s delicious.
On my final morning, we spent an hour sitting outside a cafe. Then we were driving again, experiencing the diverse landscape — green valleys. It was a great way to say goodbye to a place I knew only too briefly. I promised myself, and Thabo, that I would be back.
1. Why was Thabo considered the worst driver at the beginning?
A. He was a real African guide.
B. He seemed to drive fast riskily.
C. He ignored any vehicle passing by.
D. He greeted whoever he knew while driving.
2. What is the author’s impression of Cape Flats?
A. It is a beautiful area.
B. It is a lovely country.
C. It is an old dirty town.
D. It is a fashionable city.
3. What ddi the author enjoy doing in Victoria?
A. Tasting some tasty sea-food.
B. Driving fast along muddy roads.
C. Observing the sun go down on Africa.
D. Visiting the buildings made of cardboard.
4. How did the author feel when he left Cape Town?
A. Excited. B. Uncaring.
C. Content. D. Disappointed.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者在非洲旅行的经历。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的From the airport to the heart of the city, he did 100 km per hour, bypassing lorries, motorbikes and taxi-vans crowed with people.可知,从机场到市中心,他以每小时100公里的速度行驶,绕过了挤满了人的卡车、摩托车和出租车。由此可知,一开始塔博被认为是最糟糕的司机因为他似乎在冒险地开快车。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的The next day we went to Cape Flats, the run-down township where the buildings were made of cardboard and rusty (生锈的)iron. It was truly vast — nearly a million people live here, side by side. Skinny dogs slid out of the way as Thabo zoomed along roads of mud and rotting rubbish.可知,第二天,我们去了Cape Flats,一个破败的小镇,那里的建筑都是用纸板和生锈的铁建造的。它真的很大——将近一百万人居住在这里,肩并肩。当塔博沿着满是泥泞和腐烂垃圾的道路疾驰时,瘦骨嶙峋的狗狗们从路上溜走。由此可知,作者对Cape Flats的印象是它是个又老又脏的小镇。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的Later that night we walked around the busy Victoria, Cape Town’s most fashionable area.及Cape Town is a paradise for gourmets (美食家), seafood-lovers and people like me, who just like eating. We went into a charming little pubs, and Thabo told me I couln’t leave Cape Town without trying some Cape seafood, so I did. It’s delicious.可知,那天晚上晚些时候,我们在开普敦最时尚的维多利亚区闲逛。开普敦是美食家、海鲜爱好者和像我这样喜欢吃东西的人的天堂。我们去了一家迷人的小酒吧,塔博告诉我,如果不尝尝开普敦的海鲜,我就不能离开开普敦,所以我就去了。它是美味的。由此可知,作者喜欢在维多利亚品尝一些美味的海鲜。故选A。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据最一段中的It was a great way to say goodbye to a place I knew only too briefly. I promised myself, and Thabo, that I would be back.可知,这是对一个我只知道很短时间的地方说再见的好方式。我向自己和塔博保证,我会回来的。由此推知,离开开普敦时,作者感到心满意足。故选B。
Tracey’s husband told her, “If you build it, they will come.” So Tracey built a dance studio four years ago, and he was right.
Tracey built Revere Dance Studio in an old large church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It may seem like an odd place to run a dance studio, but this church was disability accessible and that’s just what Tracey was looking for. Tracey needed a new home for her wheelchair dance students after the studio that was hosting the classes closed.
Now Tracey has been teaching free dance classes to students in wheelchairs for over four years. This season, her class is made up of six boys and girls ranging in age from 6 to 11 who attend dance rehearsals (排练) twice a month. Tracey says these classes are about more than the dancing. “For any child to get out on stage is an accomplishment,” Tracey said. Tracey has always considered the students in her “Wonders on Wheels” class to be talented, but this week she got to share their talents with the world. On Sunday, the WOW class debuted (初次登台) a dance routine they’ve been working on since October.
Last October, one week before the dance class reunited for a new season, one of the WOW children, Katie, passed away unexpectedly. Her teammates were heartbroken. They decided to honor their friend by giving this season’s dance to her. Everyone knew how much Katie loved Celine Dion, so the group chose the song My Heart Will Go On for the dance routine.
The six WOW dancers, dressed in white, were surrounded by fourteen dancers dressed in black. These “shadows” are high school girls who volunteer to dance alongside the children in wheelchairs, helping them move across the dance floor. As the song came to an end, a huge round of applause erupted from the audience.
5. Why did Tracey build the dance studio in the church?
A. It is free of charge. B. It is near her home.
C. It’s easy for the disabled to use. D. It is big enough to hold dancers.
6. What can best describe Tracey?
A. Brave and determined. B. Talented and strict.
C. Devoted and hopeful. D. Generous and kind.
7. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Tracey and her Dancing Career
B. A Wonderful Dance Performance
C. Children in Wheelchairs Struggle in the Dance Studio
D. Children in Wheelchairs Realize Dancing Dreams
【答案】5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Tracey给残疾孩子们找练习场地,免费给孩子们上舞蹈课帮他们圆梦。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“It may seem like an odd place to run a dance studio, but this church was disability accessible and that’s just what Tracey was looking for. (这似乎是一个经营舞蹈工作室的奇怪地方,但这座教堂是残疾人可以进入的,这正是特蕾西想要的)”可知,Tracey选这个教堂建舞蹈工作室,是因为残疾人可以使用这个教堂。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中“Now Tracey has been teaching free dance classes to students in wheelchairs for over four years. (现在,特蕾西已经为坐轮椅的学生教授免费舞蹈课四年多了)”可知,Tracey是免费给残疾孩子们上舞蹈课,说明她很慷慨;第二段中“It may seem like an odd place to run a dance studio, but this church was disability accessible and that’s just what Tracey was looking for. (这似乎是一个经营舞蹈工作室的奇怪地方,但这座教堂是残疾人可以进入的,这正是特蕾西想要的)”和第三段中“Tracey has always considered the students in her “Wonders on Wheels” class to be talented (特蕾西一直认为她“车轮上的奇迹”课上的学生很有天赋)”可知,找一个残疾人可以使用的教堂建舞蹈工作室,认为残疾学生们很有天赋,心心念念为学生们着想,说明她很和蔼。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了Tracey给残疾孩子们找练习场地,免费给孩子们上舞蹈课帮他们圆梦,D项“坐轮椅的孩子实现舞蹈梦想”符合文意。故选D项。
Psychologist Julian Rotter published an article in 1966, introducing one of the most significant concepts in psychology, LOC (locus of control) (控制点). It reflects how much we expect our own behavior to affect what happens to us—rather than luck, fate, chance, or powerful others. In Rotter’s LOC test, people were asked to choose between internal and external alternatives. For example, “Many of the unhappy things in people’s lives are partly due to bad luck.” or “People’s misfortunes result from the mistakes they make.”
But are we as internally controlled as we were in 1966? In February 2024, the college students of Stephen Nowicki, PhD took a test. The students’ average LOC score of 12. 86 was more external than the average of 8. 10 found by Rotter in 1966. In fact, his students scored more externally than the prisoners Rotter tested in 1966, who scored an average of 10.33.
How can we explain the trend toward greater externality found in the general population and especially in Generation Z? One possibility is that greater externality may be a reflection of the way things are in the more complicated tech-driven world than they were in earlier times. Another more disconcerting possibility is that people in general could be underestimating the control available to them. We know that externality increases in response to disasters but the danger is that victims might remain external even though they are no longer helpless. This is especially noteworthy because individuals who do return to their original internality cope better than those who remain inappropriately external.
Plentiful evidence has shown that internality is associated with more positive outcomes in areas of our lives including academic achievement and satisfaction in social activities. We need our internality. Being internal means taking responsibility for one’s actions, persisting longer, delaying rewards, gathering relevant information, and resisting pressure. Just as Rotter said,“Active steps should be taken to turn around this troubling trend because if feelings of externality continued, we may be heading for a society where each person sits back, watching the world go by.”
8. Which statement reflects an internal locus of control in Rotter’s LOC test?
A. Success is the result of hard work.
B. Sometimes I feel dizzy after a shower.
C. Being famous is what everyone goes after.
D. I will feel relieved when my problems are solved.
9. What did the test performed by Stephen Nowicki discover?
A. His students are more internally controlled.
B. His students are more externally controlled.
C. His students rely heavily on personal responsibility.
D. His students have similar LOC scores as those tested in 1966.
10. What does the underlined word “disconcerting” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Encouraging. B. Reassuring. C. Confusing. D. Upsetting.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Externality leads to social progress.
B. Personal responsibility is becoming overlooked.
C. Efforts must be made to increase internality.
D. Internality is the basic requirement for people.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文探讨了控制点的概念及其对个体行为的影响,并指出现代人特别是Z世代倾向于外控。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Psychologist Julian Rotter published an article in 1966, introducing one of the most significant concepts in psychology, LOC (locus of control) (控制点). It reflects how much we expect our own behavior to affect what happens to us—rather than luck, fate, chance, or powerful others. In Rotter’s LOC test, people were asked to choose between internal and external alternatives. For example, “Many of the unhappy things in people’s lives are partly due to bad luck.” or “People’s misfortunes result from the mistakes they make.”(心理学家Julian Rotter在1966年发表了一篇文章,介绍了心理学中最重要的概念之一——控制点(locus of control, LOC)。它反映了我们期望自己的行为影响发生在我们身上的事情的程度,而不是运气、命运、机会或强大的其他人。在Rotter的LOC测试中,人们被要求在内部和外部选项之间做出选择。例如,“人们生活中许多不愉快的事情部分是由于运气不好。”或者“人们的不幸源于他们所犯的错误。”)”可知,控制点反映了我们期望自己的行为在多大程度上影响发生在我们身上的事情,而不是运气、命运、机会或强大的他人。这是一种归因概念,分为内控(将行为结果归因于内部因素)和外控(将行为结果归因于外部因素)。选项A强调了个人努力对成功的影响,反映了内控。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But are we as internally controlled as we were in 1966? In February 2024, the college students of Stephen Nowicki, PhD took a test. The students’ average LOC score of 12. 86 was more external than the average of 8. 10 found by Rotter in 1966. In fact, his students scored more externally than the prisoners Rotter tested in 1966, who scored an average of 10.33.(但是,我们还像1966年那样受到内部控制吗?2024年2月,斯蒂芬·诺维茨基博士所在的大学生参加了一项测试。学生的平均LOC成绩为12分。86分比平均的8分更外向。1966年被Rotter发现。事实上,他的学生的外在得分比1966年Rotter测试的囚犯要高,后者的平均得分为10.33)”可知,Stephen Nowicki的测试发现,2024年大学生的LOC得分更偏向外控,平均值为12.86,高于1966年Rotter测试的8.10。这表明现在的学生更倾向于外控。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测他。根据后文“We know that externality increases in response to disasters but the danger is that victims might remain external even though they are no longer helpless. This is especially noteworthy because individuals who do return to their original internality cope better than those who remain inappropriately external.(我们知道,在应对灾害时,外部性会增加,但危险在于,受害者可能仍然处于外部,即使他们不再无助。这一点尤其值得注意,因为那些回归到最初的内在性的人比那些不适当地保持外在性的人应对得更好)”可知,人们总体上可能低估了他们的可控能力,这种情况令人担忧,推知disconcerting为“令人不安”之意,和D项意思相近。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Plentiful evidence has shown that internality is associated with more positive outcomes in areas of our lives including academic achievement and satisfaction in social activities. We need our internality. Being internal means taking responsibility for one’s actions, persisting longer, delaying rewards, gathering relevant information, and resisting pressure. Just as Rotter said,“Active steps should be taken to turn around this troubling trend because if feelings of externality continued, we may be heading for a society where each person sits back, watching the world go by. ”(大量证据表明,内在与我们生活中更积极的结果有关,包括学业成就和社会活动满意度。我们需要我们的内在。内在意味着对自己的行为负责,坚持更长时间,延迟奖励,收集相关信息,抵抗压力。正如罗特所说,“应该采取积极的措施来扭转这种令人不安的趋势,因为如果外部性的感觉继续下去,我们可能会走向一个每个人都坐在后面,看着世界过去的社会。”)”可知,人们应当采取措施扭转外控倾向者增加这一趋势,不然人们都听天由命而不发奋图强。故选C项。
Entering the main office of the Anderson Center, it's not uncommon to hear music, since the property has long served as an artists’ community.
But recently, the sounds ringing through the building began to sound unlike others. The music was from the center's art gallery, where Jarrelle Barton practices his guzheng.
Although the ancient Chinese instrument is popular worldwide, guzheng players are rare in Minnesota, and Barton is the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program, “He was chosen because of his technical capabilities, as well as his potential,” said Stephanie Rogers, the center's director.
Most kids of Barton's age are more likely to take up the piano or guitar. But as his grandmother described him, Baton is a “special person”—a little quiet, but with very deep feelings. When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings. But the instrument he made was very different from a guzheng. It was light, and it didn't sound great.
Barton begged his grandmother to buy him a guzheng. She agreed, but added that he had to really practice and become a good guzheng player.
Acquiring the instrument proved less complicated than learning to play it. Barton couldn't find any textbooks in English, and the online courses he found were in Chinese too. So, he started teaching himself Mandarin (普通话). At the same time, he accustomed his body to “feeling” guzheng music.
Barton recently uploaded his videos to the social media platform Sina Weibo. They soon went viral, with viewers making comments such as “Great!” or “This foreigner can play our music.”
Music goes beyond nationality. You can learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.
12. Why was Barton the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program?
A. His grandmother insisted.
B. He was the first to play guzheng.
C. His skills and talent were impressive.
D. He was one of the few who could play guzheng.
13. How did Barton feel when he first saw a picture of a guzheng?
A. Puzzled. B. Excited.
C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
14. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Music is the best way to communicate.
B. Music can be spread far and wide.
C. Music is a universal language.
D. Music can go further.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To promote a music program.
B. To advertise the Anderson Center.
C. To persuade foreigner to play guzheng.
D. To introduce the great power of music.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了美国男孩Barton学习中国乐器古筝的经过,阐释了音乐无国界的道理。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He was chosen because of his technical capabilities, as well as his potential”(他之所以被选中,是因为他的技术能力和潜力)可知,Barton的技巧和天赋是他被选中的原因。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings.”(当他第一次看到古筝的照片时,他试图用一个木制茶盘和吉他弦来制作自己的古筝。)可知,Barton对古筝充满热情,内心是激动的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“You can learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.”(不管你说什么语言,你都可以学习乐器。你可以学习任何你喜欢的乐器,创作音乐与人们分享。)可知,无论说哪种语言,任何人都可以学习乐器,也可以创造音乐与人们分享,任何人都可以理解音乐,即音乐无国界,音乐为通用语言。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是文章的最后一段可知,本文用Barton学习古筝的例子阐释了音乐无国界以及音乐有无穷力量的道理。故选D项。
Living in the same room with someone for a whole school year is a source of anxiety for most college freshmen. ____16____ Many college roommates become lifelong friends. Here are tips for an enjoyable and supportive roommate bond.
It is quite common for roommates to hold distinct needs and preferences. For instance, one may have a higher standard for a neat and orderly living space than the other, or you may prefer to listen to music while studying, whereas your roommate can’t concentrate with it on. ____17____ Share these preferences and expectations early on. It’ll save you both from unnecessary conflicts.
You could be an outgoing person who loves being around people and feels energized in groups, but that might not be true of your roommate. They may need some quiet time. ____18____ Try alternating between who uses the room and who heads to the library. Talk it over, and make sure you don’t overstep boundaries when inviting others over.
____19____ Don’t wait until they grow enormous. Is your roommate doing something that’s bothering you? Borrowing your things without asking? Leaving the room a mess too often? Address these issues in a calm and friendly manner the moment you notice them. It’s way easier to fix a problem when it first comes up than when it turns into a deep-seated issue.
College is a period for learning and growth for you and your roommate. ____20____ New challenges will surface along the way. You might begin with a close bond and gradually drift apart, or it could be the other way around — growing closer over time. Don’t stay stuck in the past. Be open to transformations and go with the flow!
A. You two can’t be on good terms.
B. Solve problems while they’re still small.
C. Don’t disclose others’ private information.
D. Yet having a roommate can be quite rewarding.
E. So be careful about bringing friends into your room.
F. Clear and open communication from the get-go is vital.
G. During this time, you will both undergo multiple changes.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. E 19. B 20. G

三、完形填空
My mom loved to pass her wisdom to me: ”Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.” She was referring to her bitter-taste foods like dill pickles and rhubarb (大黄叶). But I was not a big fan.
Three years ago, I finally decided to ask if I could ____21____ out her rhubarb while weeding the garden. “____22____ not!” Mom gasped, throwing me a(n) ____23____ look. Clearly, I had underestimated her____24____ for it. However, as I continued ____25____, I thought about how rhubarb is one of the first to appear in spring. It ____26____ the snowy ground before the arrival of other plants. How can anyone fail to ____27____ it? When those first sprouts (嫩芽) appeared, Mom would count them like a ____28____ counting a newborn’s fingers and toes.
When I was a kid and my mom gave me that pie, it made me ____29____ to try. In my teens, it made me complain about the bitterness. Even ice cream or candies did not ____30____ the deal for my young taste buds (味蕾). Rhubarb was something to be ____31____ at all costs.
Then, last summer, I came across the ____32____ for her rhubarb pie in an old drawer. So I decided to give it a ____33____. A few attempts later, I served rhubarb pie to family and guests. All agreed, including me, that it tasted incredible.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文,记录了作家Tolkien假装圣诞老人为孩子写信的故事。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:《来自圣诞老人的信》是一本书,记录了著名作家Tolkien如何尽可能长时间的让他的孩子把圣诞节当成一个神奇的时刻。分析句意可知Tolkien为了孩子,才努力保持圣诞节的神秘,可用for sb表示“为了某人”。故填for。
【37题详解】
考查副词。很多人把圣诞节当成一年中的特殊时刻,尤其为了孩子。分析句子可知especial“特别的”需要改为副词especially“尤其、特别”,在句中用于修饰children“儿童”,一起构成插入语,是对前文句子的补充说明。故填especially。
【38题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:所以他写了这本书,为孩子延长了这神奇的时刻。根据文章可知,他这一本书是信件组成,因为有这些信件,孩子会更相信圣诞老人的存在,相信圣诞节的神奇,即写书自然而然地导致这样的结果出现,可用现在分词表示自然而然的结果。故填extending。
【39题详解】
考查语态。句意:每一个圣诞节,除了礼物,还会有一封来自圣诞老人的信被寄给孩子们,其实是他们的父亲Tolkien写的。分析句子可知address“邮寄、致函”与an envelope“一个信封”之间是被动关系。故填be addressed。
【40题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:这些信展示了圣诞老人的魔力和迷人地故事,例如北极熊和圣诞老人可能会碰到的一些麻烦。因为story“故事”为可数名词,前没有冠词或者量词表示单数概念,故需要变为复数形式。故填stories。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,当孩子们长大后,为了能教育他的孩子,Tolkien写了一些不一样的东西。分析句子可知动词differ“使不同”要变为形容词作something“某事”的后置定语。故填different。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:他在书中提醒他们并不是所有的事情都会向他们希望的那样而来。分析句子可知they wish是修饰things的定语从句,句中动词wish“想要、希望”缺宾语,故用that。故填that。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果他们对目前的事情不满意,只需要记得世界上还有许多人吃不饱饭,还有许多穷人。世界只有一个,故需要用定冠词,“全世界”的表达为all over the world。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查动名词。句意:通过展示圣诞老人,Tolkien希望人们能够享受圣诞节,并与他人分享真正的精神。分析句子可知介词by后需用加动名词做介词宾语。故填showing。
【45题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:同时,他还暗含了他对孩子特殊的爱,他是自己孩子真正的圣诞老人。分析句子可知indicate在句中做谓语,表明书的特征,为事实常态,用一般现在时即可,主语为单数,谓语动词也用第三人称单数。故填indicates。

六、书面表达
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am a writer for a health and fitness magazine that focuses on success stories about weight loss. For years I have written about other people and their journey to a healthy body, mind and spirit. But I’ve never written my own story.
I wasn’t always overweight. Until age five, I was a healthy, active kid. It wasn’t until my parents started having problems that resulted in a divorce that I turned to food. I struggled with my weight throughout my school years and I reached 260 pounds at college. Today, more than a decade later, people don’t believe that I ever weighed that much. Even I have to pull out the previous pictures to remember. At that time, I never looked at myself in the mirror. I never looked at others in the eye for fear of what they would say about me. I was shy. I was ashamed. I was depressed. I was scared. I even couldn’t find my self-worth. I had no idea what the future would look like.
Like most people I wrote about, I tried all the fad diets (时下流行的节食方法). And what I didn’t realize was that the worst thing I could do was to use food as a form of punishment. That struggling period lasted for a long time.
One night before graduating from college, I looked at my body and imagined myself at eighty-five years old. If I continued walking the path I was on, who would I be? What would I look like? I saw overweight and health problems. I saw loneliness and unsolved emotional pain. I didn’t like what I saw. Then, I turned to an old college professor for advice. She merely shrugged (耸肩) and said, “You just have to choose.” I was quite confused at that moment. What kind of advice was that? Choose what? How could I choose? Noticing my puzzled expression, the professor just handed me a health book.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired by the book, I knew what I should choose.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Although the process was challenging, my hard work paid off.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Inspired by the book, I knew what I should choose. I decided to make a change in my life. I started by setting small, achievable goals, such as walking 30 minutes a day and eating more vegetables. I also began to keep a journal to track my progress and reflect on my emotions. Gradually, I noticed that I was feeling more energetic and positive. I joined a support group where I met others who were on similar journeys. Sharing experiences and encouragement with them helped me stay motivated. Over time, I learned to view food as nourishment rather than a source of comfort or punishment. I realized that true health is not just about losing weight, but about finding balance and self-acceptance.
Although the process was challenging, my hard work paid off. I lost weight steadily and gained confidence in myself. I started to look at myself in the mirror and smile, something I hadn’t done in years. I began to engage more with people, no longer fearing their judgment. My relationships improved, and I felt a sense of purpose that I had never experienced before. Today, I am proud of the person I have become. I have not only transformed my body but also my mind and spirit. Now, as a writer, I am finally ready to share my own story, hoping to inspire others who are struggling with similar challenges

二、阅读理解
The first thing I can tell you about Thabo, my South Africa guide, was that he is the world’s worst driver. From the airport to the heart of the city, he did 100 km per hour, bypassing lorries, motorbikes and taxi-vans crowed with people. The second thing was that he knew everybody and everything about Cape Town. This was good for me.
On the first day, Thabo took me to the suburbs with unpronounceable names — ORanjezicht — from where you can watch the sun go down on Africa. The next day we went to Cape Flats, the run-down township where the buildings were made of cardboard and rusty (生锈的)iron. It was truly vast — nearly a million people live here, side by side. Skinny dogs slid out of the way as Thabo zoomed along roads of mud and rotting rubbish. Some people waved, others stared. Children ran barefoot by the car.
Later that night we walked around the busy Victoria, Cape Town’s most fashionable area. The contrast from the township could not be greater: the smells of cooking rose from the kitchens — Asian, French, Italian. The bars and restaurants were packed, and I soon found out why. Cape Town is a paradise for gourmets (美食家), seafood-lovers and people like me, who just like eating. We went into a charming little pubs, and Thabo told me I couln’t leave Cape Town without trying some Cape seafood, so I did. It’s delicious.
On my final morning, we spent an hour sitting outside a cafe. Then we were driving again, experiencing the diverse landscape — green valleys. It was a great way to say goodbye to a place I knew only too briefly. I promised myself, and Thabo, that I would be back.
1. Why was Thabo considered the worst driver at the beginning?
A. He was a real African guide.
B. He seemed to drive fast riskily.
C. He ignored any vehicle passing by.
D. He greeted whoever he knew while driving.
2. What is the author’s impression of Cape Flats?
A. It is a beautiful area.
B. It is a lovely country.
C. It is an old dirty town.
D. It is a fashionable city.
3. What ddi the author enjoy doing in Victoria?
A. Tasting some tasty sea-food.
B. Driving fast along muddy roads.
C. Observing the sun go down on Africa.
D. Visiting the buildings made of cardboard.
4. How did the author feel when he left Cape Town?
A. Excited. B. Uncaring.
C. Content. D. Disappointed.
Tracey’s husband told her, “If you build it, they will come.” So Tracey built a dance studio four years ago, and he was right.
Tracey built Revere Dance Studio in an old large church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It may seem like an odd place to run a dance studio, but this church was disability accessible and that’s just what Tracey was looking for. Tracey needed a new home for her wheelchair dance students after the studio that was hosting the classes closed.
Now Tracey has been teaching free dance classes to students in wheelchairs for over four years. This season, her class is made up of six boys and girls ranging in age from 6 to 11 who attend dance rehearsals (排练) twice a month. Tracey says these classes are about more than the dancing. “For any child to get out on stage is an accomplishment,” Tracey said. Tracey has always considered the students in her “Wonders on Wheels” class to be talented, but this week she got to share their talents with the world. On Sunday, the WOW class debuted (初次登台) a dance routine they’ve been working on since October.
Last October, one week before the dance class reunited for a new season, one of the WOW children, Katie, passed away unexpectedly. Her teammates were heartbroken. They decided to honor their friend by giving this season’s dance to her. Everyone knew how much Katie loved Celine Dion, so the group chose the song My Heart Will Go On for the dance routine.
The six WOW dancers, dressed in white, were surrounded by fourteen dancers dressed in black. These “shadows” are high school girls who volunteer to dance alongside the children in wheelchairs, helping them move across the dance floor. As the song came to an end, a huge round of applause erupted from the audience.
5. Why did Tracey build the dance studio in the church?
A. It is free of charge. B. It is near her home.
C. It’s easy for the disabled to use. D. It is big enough to hold dancers.
6. What can best describe Tracey?
A. Brave and determined. B. Talented and strict.
C. Devoted and hopeful. D. Generous and kind.
7. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Tracey and her Dancing Career
B. A Wonderful Dance Performance
C. Children in Wheelchairs Struggle in the Dance Studio
D. Children in Wheelchairs Realize Dancing Dreams
Psychologist Julian Rotter published an article in 1966, introducing one of the most significant concepts in psychology, LOC (locus of control) (控制点). It reflects how much we expect our own behavior to affect what happens to us—rather than luck, fate, chance, or powerful others. In Rotter’s LOC test, people were asked to choose between internal and external alternatives. For example, “Many of the unhappy things in people’s lives are partly due to bad luck.” or “People’s misfortunes result from the mistakes they make.”
But are we as internally controlled as we were in 1966? In February 2024, the college students of Stephen Nowicki, PhD took a test. The students’ average LOC score of 12. 86 was more external than the average of 8. 10 found by Rotter in 1966. In fact, his students scored more externally than the prisoners Rotter tested in 1966, who scored an average of 10.33.
How can we explain the trend toward greater externality found in the general population and especially in Generation Z? One possibility is that greater externality may be a reflection of the way things are in the more complicated tech-driven world than they were in earlier times. Another more disconcerting possibility is that people in general could be underestimating the control available to them. We know that externality increases in response to disasters but the danger is that victims might remain external even though they are no longer helpless. This is especially noteworthy because individuals who do return to their original internality cope better than those who remain inappropriately external.
Plentiful evidence has shown that internality is associated with more positive outcomes in areas of our lives including academic achievement and satisfaction in social activities. We need our internality. Being internal means taking responsibility for one’s actions, persisting longer, delaying rewards, gathering relevant information, and resisting pressure. Just as Rotter said,“Active steps should be taken to turn around this troubling trend because if feelings of externality continued, we may be heading for a society where each person sits back, watching the world go by.”
8. Which statement reflects an internal locus of control in Rotter’s LOC test?
A. Success is the result of hard work.
B. Sometimes I feel dizzy after a shower.
C. Being famous is what everyone goes after.
D. I will feel relieved when my problems are solved.
9. What did the test performed by Stephen Nowicki discover?
A. His students are more internally controlled.
B. His students are more externally controlled.
C. His students rely heavily on personal responsibility.
D. His students have similar LOC scores as those tested in 1966.
10. What does the underlined word “disconcerting” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Encouraging. B. Reassuring. C. Confusing. D. Upsetting.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Externality leads to social progress.
B. Personal responsibility is becoming overlooked.
C. Efforts must be made to increase internality.
D. Internality is the basic requirement for people.
Entering the main office of the Anderson Center, it's not uncommon to hear music, since the property has long served as an artists’ community.
But recently, the sounds ringing through the building began to sound unlike others. The music was from the center's art gallery, where Jarrelle Barton practices his guzheng.
Although the ancient Chinese instrument is popular worldwide, guzheng players are rare in Minnesota, and Barton is the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program, “He was chosen because of his technical capabilities, as well as his potential,” said Stephanie Rogers, the center's director.
Most kids of Barton's age are more likely to take up the piano or guitar. But as his grandmother described him, Baton is a “special person”—a little quiet, but with very deep feelings. When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings. But the instrument he made was very different from a guzheng. It was light, and it didn't sound great.
Barton begged his grandmother to buy him a guzheng. She agreed, but added that he had to really practice and become a good guzheng player.
Acquiring the instrument proved less complicated than learning to play it. Barton couldn't find any textbooks in English, and the online courses he found were in Chinese too. So, he started teaching himself Mandarin (普通话). At the same time, he accustomed his body to “feeling” guzheng music.
Barton recently uploaded his videos to the social media platform Sina Weibo. They soon went viral, with viewers making comments such as “Great!” or “This foreigner can play our music.”
Music goes beyond nationality. You can learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.
12. Why was Barton the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program?
A. His grandmother insisted.
B. He was the first to play guzheng.
C. His skills and talent were impressive.
D. He was one of the few who could play guzheng.
13. How did Barton feel when he first saw a picture of a guzheng?
A. Puzzled. B. Excited.
C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
14. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Music is the best way to communicate.
B. Music can be spread far and wide.
C. Music is a universal language.
D. Music can go further.

Living in the same room with someone for a whole school year is a source of anxiety for most college freshmen. ____16____ Many college roommates become lifelong friends. Here are tips for an enjoyable and supportive roommate bond.
It is quite common for roommates to hold distinct needs and preferences. For instance, one may have a higher standard for a neat and orderly living space than the other, or you may prefer to listen to music while studying, whereas your roommate can’t concentrate with it on. ____17____ Share these preferences and expectations early on. It’ll save you both from unnecessary conflicts.
You could be an outgoing person who loves being around people and feels energized in groups, but that might not be true of your roommate. They may need some quiet time. ____18____ Try alternating between who uses the room and who heads to the library. Talk it over, and make sure you don’t overstep boundaries when inviting others over.
____19____ Don’t wait until they grow enormous. Is your roommate doing something that’s bothering you? Borrowing your things without asking? Leaving the room a mess too often? Address these issues in a calm and friendly manner the moment you notice them. It’s way easier to fix a problem when it first comes up than when it turns into a deep-seated issue.
College is a period for learning and growth for you and your roommate. ____20____ New challenges will surface along the way. You might begin with a close bond and gradually drift apart, or it could be the other way around — growing closer over time. Don’t stay stuck in the past. Be open to transformations and go with the flow!
A. You two can’t be on good terms.
B. Solve problems while they’re still small.
C. Don’t disclose others’ private information.
D. Yet having a roommate can be quite rewarding.
E. So be careful about bringing friends into your room.
F. Clear and open communication from the get-go is vital.
G. During this time, you will both undergo multiple changes.

六、书面表达
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am a writer for a health and fitness magazine that focuses on success stories about weight loss. For years I have written about other people and their journey to a healthy body, mind and spirit. But I’ve never written my own story.
I wasn’t always overweight. Until age five, I was a healthy, active kid. It wasn’t until my parents started having problems that resulted in a divorce that I turned to food. I struggled with my weight throughout my school years and I reached 260 pounds at college. Today, more than a decade later, people don’t believe that I ever weighed that much. Even I have to pull out the previous pictures to remember. At that time, I never looked at myself in the mirror. I never looked at others in the eye for fear of what they would say about me. I was shy. I was ashamed. I was depressed. I was scared. I even couldn’t find my self-worth. I had no idea what the future would look like.
Like most people I wrote about, I tried all the fad diets (时下流行的节食方法). And what I didn’t realize was that the worst thing I could do was to use food as a form of punishment. That struggling period lasted for a long time.
One night before graduating from college, I looked at my body and imagined myself at eighty-five years old. If I continued walking the path I was on, who would I be? What would I look like? I saw overweight and health problems. I saw loneliness and unsolved emotional pain. I didn’t like what I saw. Then, I turned to an old college professor for advice. She merely shrugged (耸肩) and said, “You just have to choose.” I was quite confused at that moment. What kind of advice was that? Choose what? How could I choose? Noticing my puzzled expression, the professor just handed me a health book.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired by the book, I knew what I should choose.

Although the process was challenging, my hard work paid off.
