(所给词的适当形式填空) Section B Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the sentences coherent and grammatically correct. The Rise of “Texting Pleasing Syndrome” In recent years, a subtle but significant change has taken place in online communication, where people increasingly avoid ____9____ (use) plain words like “okay” and instead prefer softer alternatives such as “okay~”, “sure ha”, or reduplicated words accompanied by emojis. This phenomenon, known as “texting pleasing syndrome”, reflects a growing tendency to decorate messages ____10____ friendly tone markers in order to reduce the risk of being perceived as cold or aggressive. The reasons behind this trend are closely related to the limitations of text-based communication. Unlike face-to-face conversations, typed words cannot convey tone of voice or facial expressions, ____11____ often leads to misunderstandings. By adding extra “ha”, “la”, or a tilde at the end of a sentence, people try to bridge the emotional gap and make their intentions ____12____ (clear). For many, this habit is not about pleasing others out of insecurity but about easing the anxiety that comes with worrying about miscommunication. However, opinions on this behavior remain divided. Some argue that these softeners create a friendlier and more harmonious online environment, where messages are less likely to be misinterpreted. ____13____, however, believe that overusing such expressions adds unnecessary emotional labor, forces people into an unnatural performance, and conceals genuine feelings. ____14____ was once considered a thoughtful gesture may gradually turn into a social expectation, making people feel obliged to adopt a “pleasing” style even when they do not truly wish to. In conclusion, while polite and warm expressions can facilitate smoother communication, excessive formulaic flattery ____15____ never replace sincerity and true respect. Developing good communication habits means balancing kindness with authenticity. After all, a heartfelt “thank you” always speaks louder than a dozen hollow “ha”s. II. Vocabulary: (15%) Section A (5%) Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. 16.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. awareness；B. details；C. familiar；D. lead；E. sight；F. sincerely；G. souvenirs H. struck；I. transform ；J. truly ；K. viewpoint Why We Should Record Travel Moments On a rainy summer day, I trekked through the mud to a medieval fortress (堡垒) perched high atop a cliff. After descending into a dark cavern (洞穴) and twisting through its dim corridors, I finally arrived at the main ____21____ of the Cave of the Fairies: a plunging waterfall. As the splatter echoed through the cavern, I closed my eyes and took out my phone to record the rush of dreamy-reality before me. I had come in search of a sound, not a (n) ____22____. Throughout my travels, I’ve found myself collecting sound recordings the way other people collect ____23____. On my phone, there’s a recording of the soft, muffled footsteps and whispers inside The Art Institute of Chicago; the chirping birdsongs and rush of wind whistling through the redwoods in California; and much more. Just as some travellers take photos of landscapes or their food, I started doing this as a strange and artistic way to help me remember some of the most interesting ____24____ of my trips. I’ve found that when I listen back to these recordings, I’m able to recall each place and moment in a different way than I can by scrolling through images. It turns out that this may be because our brains remember sound differently than other types of senses. According to Dr. James Giordano, our brains process information and turn it into memories by receiving it through our senses, encoding it and storing it. The information we receive and process with our ears is called echoic memory (声像记忆) . Giordano explained that our brains ____25____ sound into memory in a nearly identical way as we do with other senses, yet it appears we are far better at remembering what we see and touch than what we hear. A study suggests that if we take a picture of something and record the sound of the same thing, the image will appear more ____26____ to us when we look back at it on our phones, while the sound will seem fresher and, in a way, newer or more distinct. Since our sound memories are bad, it’s perhaps more important to record sounds than to take photos, so that we can ____27____ recall the experience. Amy Poremba, who conducted the study, seems to agree. “I went to Hawaii to the Big Island, and there are black volcanic beaches there. They make this kind of tinkling-glass sound when the waves hit them.” Poremba was so ____28____ by the sound that she recorded it. After flying back home, she said she “listened to it over and over again”. It seems Poremba and I are not alone in believing soundscapes (声景) tell a story. In recent decades, there has been a heightened ____29____ of how learning to listen to the world around us can reveal an entirely different form of cultural immersion, such as a soundscape campaign launched in Lapland. Months after climbing up out of the dark cavern, in my Los Angeles home, I find myself popping on my headphones and listening back to the rush of falling water. When I close my eyes, I can feel the spray of water against my skin, the sense of letting my ears _____30_____ me on a faraway adventure. Mentally, I’m right back there — if only for a moment. BBC III. Reading Comprehension: Section A (15%) Directions: For 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. How to Know If You Talk Too Much Talking can cloud your perception like smoke in your eyes. Once you’re on a roll, it’s very easy to not notice that you’ve ____31____ your welcome. You may not even realize that the other person is ____32____ trying to get a word in, or subtly signaling that they need to be elsewhere. Why does this happen? First, the very simple reason is that all human beings have a (n) ____33____ to be listened to. But second, the process of talking about ourselves releases dopamine, the pleasure hormone. One of the reasons gabby (喋喋不休的) people keep gabbing is because they become ____34____ that pleasure. Not long after my book, Just Listen, came out, I too succumbed (屈服) to ignoring signs that I had started to ____35____ my friend and fellow coach, Marty Nemko, host of a radio show. He and I have been coaching each other for some time. He ____36____ when he told me, “Mark, for an expert on listening, you need to talk less and listen more.” After I recovered from the ____37____, he pointed out a useful strategy that I have been using. It’s helping me and it might help you. Nemko calls it the Traffic Light Rule. In the first 20 seconds of talking, your light is green: your listener is liking you, as long as your statement is (38) ____38____ to the conversation and hopefully in service of the other person. But unless you are an extremely-gifted raconteur (讲故事高手) , people who talk for more than roughly half a minute are often perceived as too chatty. So the light turns yellow for the next 20 seconds — now the ____39____ is increasing that the other person is beginning to lose interest or think you’re long-winded (啰嗦的). At the 40-second mark, your light is red. Yes, there’s an occasional time you want to run that red light and keep talking, but the vast majority of the time, you’d better stop or you’re in ____40____. Whatever the cause, filibustering (长篇大论) is usually a conversational turn-off (扫兴的事), and may result in both of you deteriorating (恶化, 退化) into alternating monologues (独角戏). And that certainly will do little to move the conversation or your ____41____ forward. One reason some people are long-winded is because they’re trying to impress their conversational counterpart with how smart they are, often because they don’t actually feel that way underneath. If this is the case for you, realize that ____42____ to talk will only cause the other person to be less impressed. Of course, some people who talk too much simply “may not have a sense of the ____43____ of time,” Nemko says. If this is the case, the cure is not to look inside yourself for psychological insight. It’s just to develop a better ____44____ sense of how long 20 and 40 seconds are. Finally, remember that even 20 seconds of talking can be a turn-off if you don’t include the other person in the conversation. To avoid that, ask questions, try to ____45____ what they say, and look for ways to include them in the conversation so it is a genuine dialogue instead of a diatribe (长篇大论) . Well, I think my 40 seconds is up, so I’ll stop here. HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW 31. A. broken up B. gone after C. run across D. worn out 32. A. anxiously B. dependently C. frustratingly D. politely 33.

(A) Beauty that can’t be seen In the serene town of Willowbrook resided the young maiden Lily. Her skin bore the intricate tapestry of a rare condition, a mosaic of scars and blemishes that danced across her face like a testament to the trials she had endured. Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace. One fateful afternoon, as the sun descended in a cascade of golden hues, Lily’s path intertwined with that of Lucas, a young man whose world was veiled in eternal darkness. Drawn by the angelic voice of Lily and the kindness that exuded from her very being, Lucas found comfort in her presence. Their friendship blossomed like a delicate flower, each moment spent together a symphony of shared laughter and unspoken understanding. As the days bring more shared experiences, Lucas found himself fascinated by the world as perceived through Lily’s eyes. In her, he discovered a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of beauty that transcended the confines of sight, a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude. Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world. With each passing day, their bond deepened, evolving into a romance that defied the conventions of superficiality and embraced the profound connection that existed between their souls. Lily and Lucas found a beauty that transcended the limitations of physical form, a beauty that dwelled in the uncharted depths of their souls. Their love became a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, a reminder that true beauty is not merely skin-deep but a radiant light that originates from the very core of our being, touching the hearts of all who dare to see beyond the surface. 46. How did Lucas, who was blind, come to appreciate beauty in Lily’s unique perspective? A. by restoring his eyesight through a series of surgeries B. by listening to her angelic voices describing her own beauty C. by spending time with her and seeing the world through her eyes D. by imagine the fascinating world in the eyes of Lily 47. What qualities in Lily did Lucas recognize as true beauty despite the physical scars he can’t see? A. Her commitment to comforting others with her beautiful voice B. Her kindness, compassion, and unwavering strength in difficult life C. Her sympathy and hopefulness for physically-challenged people like Lucas D. Her bravery in developing real friendship to romance despite social dispute 48. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word transcended is closest in meaning to _________? A. went beyond B. depended on C. broke through D. passed over 49. Which of the following definition of beauty best identifies with the essence of the story of Lily and Lucas? A. Beauty is a subjective preference for what might be unfavorable in others’ opinion B. Beauty is not skin-deep but a radiant light that grows from within and enlightens others C. Beauty is what provides pleasure to the senses, either in visual or audio way D. Beauty is something in good proportion that creates aesthetic harmony and appeal (B) In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin. Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’t add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin. Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores. Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion. Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution. Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products. Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas. Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath. Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it! 50. To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________. A. milk B. olive oil C. honey D. tangerine 51. For a berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth. A. milk B. papaya C. grapes D. strawberries 52. The passage can probably be targeted at ____________________. A. owners of fruit shops who wants to promote sales B. customers in supermarket who are searching for fruits C. women who want to become beautiful and healthy D. chefs who are particular about food ingredients (C) Many scientists are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) for the moment. Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Esmeyer does it in a special way — by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years' experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear. Esmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Esmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents. The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Esmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1,600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study. As the result of his work, Esmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves. 53. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. A. repair rooms B. trading fairs C. business talks D. group meetings 54. Esmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out ______. A. what caused the shipping accident B. when and where the shoes went missing C. whether it was all right to use their shoes D. how much they lost in the shipping accident 55. Esmeyer is most famous for ______. A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world B. making records for any lost objects on the sea C. running a global currents research association D. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea 56. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution. B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean. C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents. D. To give advice on how to search for lost objects on the beach. Section C 8% Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only one. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Success Requires “Ample Doses of Pain” Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has a simple message for young people who want to achieve greatness: No pain, no gain. That was essentially his message for students at his alma mater, Stanford University, where he made a speech at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. “Greatness is not intelligence. ____57____ And character isn’t formed out of smart people; it’s formed out of people who suffered,” Huang said in response to a question about how students can maximize their shot at being successful. ____58____ In 1993, he co-founded computer chip company Nvidia, where he’s served as CEO for more than three decades. The company’s success turned Huang into a billionaire. Now, with Nvidia’s chips in high demand for building AI software, it’s become one of the world’s most valuable companies with a valuation worth of $2trillion. “One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations,” Huang said, noting that most Stanford graduates have very high expectations as a result of having an elite education. Often people with very high expectations have very low resilience because they are not accustomed to, or prepared for, failure. “____59____ I don’t know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you,” he said. Psychologists also tend to agree that resilient people are more likely to have the strength and confidence to handle challenges and bounce back from failure. Huang certainly had to struggle in his company’s early days. “To this day I use the phrase ‘pain and suffering’ inside our company with great joy,” Huang told the Stanford students. “____60____ You want greatness out of it.” A. Greatness comes from character. B. Unfortunately, resilience matters in success. C. Building character is a key factor in determining success. D. When it comes to achieving success, Huang knows more than most. E. That’s why I still worry Nvidia could ultimately fail, despite its massive success. F. I mean that in a happy way, because you want to refine the character of your company. IV. Summary Writing (61) (10%) 61. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Endangered Species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup. So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

The Rise of “Texting Pleasing Syndrome” In recent years, a subtle but significant change has taken place in online communication, where people increasingly avoid ____9____ (use) plain words like “okay” and instead prefer softer alternatives such as “okay~”, “sure ha”, or reduplicated words accompanied by emojis. This phenomenon, known as “texting pleasing syndrome”, reflects a growing tendency to decorate messages ____10____ friendly tone markers in order to reduce the risk of being perceived as cold or aggressive. The reasons behind this trend are closely related to the limitations of text-based communication. Unlike face-to-face conversations, typed words cannot convey tone of voice or facial expressions, ____11____ often leads to misunderstandings. By adding extra “ha”, “la”, or a tilde at the end of a sentence, people try to bridge the emotional gap and make their intentions ____12____ (clear). For many, this habit is not about pleasing others out of insecurity but about easing the anxiety that comes with worrying about miscommunication. However, opinions on this behavior remain divided. Some argue that these softeners create a friendlier and more harmonious online environment, where messages are less likely to be misinterpreted. ____13____, however, believe that overusing such expressions adds unnecessary emotional labor, forces people into an unnatural performance, and conceals genuine feelings. ____14____ was once considered a thoughtful gesture may gradually turn into a social expectation, making people feel obliged to adopt a “pleasing” style even when they do not truly wish to. In conclusion, while polite and warm expressions can facilitate smoother communication, excessive formulaic flattery ____15____ never replace sincerity and true respect. Developing good communication habits means balancing kindness with authenticity. After all, a heartfelt “thank you” always speaks louder than a dozen hollow “ha”s. 【答案】9. using 10. with 11. which 12. clearer 13. Others 14. What 15. can 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了“文字讨好症”这一网络现象、产生原因以及人们对此的不同看法。 【9题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：近年来，网络交流发生了细微却显著的变化，人们越来越避免使用“okay”这类直白词汇，反而偏爱更柔和的表达，例如“okay~”“sure ha”或是搭配表情符号的叠词。固定搭配avoid doing sth.表示“避免做某事”，此处需填动名词形式。 【10题详解】 考查介词。句意：这种被称作“文字讨好症”的现象，反映了人们越来越倾向于用友好的语气标记来装饰信息，以降低被认为冷漠或咄咄逼人的风险。固定搭配decorate sth. with sth.意为“用某物装饰某物”。 【11题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：和面对面交谈不同，文字无法传递语气与面部表情，这往往会造成误会。空处指代前面整件事，从句缺少主语，用which引导非限制性定语从句。 【12题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：人们通过在句尾添加“ha”“la”或是波浪线，试图消除情感隔阂，让自己的意图更清晰。结合语境，此处暗含对比，指比不加修饰时更清楚，用形容词比较级作宾补。 【13题详解】 考查代词。句意：另一些人则认为过度使用这类表达会增加不必要的情感劳动，迫使人们刻意伪装，掩盖真实情绪。前文出现Some，对应固定搭配Some…Others…，表示“一些人……另一些人……”，句首单词首字母需大写。 【14题详解】 考查名词性从句。句意：曾经被认为贴心的举动，如今渐渐变成一种社交要求，即便内心不愿，人们也负有采用“取悦型”风格的义务。空处在主语从句中作主语，表示“……的事物”，用what引导从句，句首单词首字母需大写。 【15题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：总而言之，温和礼貌的表达能让沟通更顺畅，但千篇一律的刻意讨好永远无法替代真诚与尊重。后半句已有动词原形replace，结合句意此处填表否定含义的情态动词can，构成can never“永远不可能”。 II.

E 【解析】 【16题详解】 考查动词。句意：随着跨境时装销量持续增长，全球贸易有助于增加发展中国家的就业机会。根据“job chances”以及句意“增加”可知，空格处应该用动词multiply，help (to) do“有助于……”是固定搭配，所以此处用省略to的不定式。 【17题详解】 考查动词。句意：游客在购买当地时尚商品时，依靠手机地图来导航老城区的街道。根据“mobile maps”和句意“导航”可知，空格处应该用动词navigate。空格前有不定式符号to，所以用动词原形。 【18题详解】 考查形容词。句意：时尚领域的文化交流促进了东西方设计师之间的相互欣赏。根据“Cultural exchanges in fashion”以及句意“相互”可知，空格处应该用形容词mutual作定语，修饰名词admiration。 【19题详解】 考查名词。句意：许多媒体报道关注快时尚如何通过向低收入群体提供廉价服装来帮助减少贫困。根据“offering cheap garments to low-income groups”以及句意“贫困”可知，空格处应该用名词poverty作动词reduce的宾语。 【20题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我们可以在世界各地的时装秀场上看到各种并行的风格：复古经典设计与可持续环保服饰。根据“styles all over the world’s runways: retro classic designs and sustainable eco-clothes”以及句意“并行的”可知，空格处应该用形容词parallel作定语，修饰名词styles。 Section B (10%) 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. awareness；B. details；C. familiar；D. lead；E. sight；F. sincerely；G. souvenirs H. struck；I. transform ；J. truly ；K. viewpoint Why We Should Record Travel Moments On a rainy summer day, I trekked through the mud to a medieval fortress (堡垒) perched high atop a cliff. After descending into a dark cavern (洞穴) and twisting through its dim corridors, I finally arrived at the main ____21____ of the Cave of the Fairies: a plunging waterfall. As the splatter echoed through the cavern, I closed my eyes and took out my phone to record the rush of dreamy-reality before me. I had come in search of a sound, not a (n) ____22____. Throughout my travels, I’ve found myself collecting sound recordings the way other people collect ____23____. On my phone, there’s a recording of the soft, muffled footsteps and whispers inside The Art Institute of Chicago; the chirping birdsongs and rush of wind whistling through the redwoods in California; and much more. Just as some travellers take photos of landscapes or their food, I started doing this as a strange and artistic way to help me remember some of the most interesting ____24____ of my trips. I’ve found that when I listen back to these recordings, I’m able to recall each place and moment in a different way than I can by scrolling through images. It turns out that this may be because our brains remember sound differently than other types of senses. According to Dr. James Giordano, our brains process information and turn it into memories by receiving it through our senses, encoding it and storing it. The information we receive and process with our ears is called echoic memory (声像记忆) . Giordano explained that our brains ____25____ sound into memory in a nearly identical way as we do with other senses, yet it appears we are far better at remembering what we see and touch than what we hear. A study suggests that if we take a picture of something and record the sound of the same thing, the image will appear more ____26____ to us when we look back at it on our phones, while the sound will seem fresher and, in a way, newer or more distinct. Since our sound memories are bad, it’s perhaps more important to record sounds than to take photos, so that we can ____27____ recall the experience. Amy Poremba, who conducted the study, seems to agree. “I went to Hawaii to the Big Island, and there are black volcanic beaches there. They make this kind of tinkling-glass sound when the waves hit them.” Poremba was so ____28____ by the sound that she recorded it. After flying back home, she said she “listened to it over and over again”. It seems Poremba and I are not alone in believing soundscapes (声景) tell a story. In recent decades, there has been a heightened ____29____ of how learning to listen to the world around us can reveal an entirely different form of cultural immersion, such as a soundscape campaign launched in Lapland. Months after climbing up out of the dark cavern, in my Los Angeles home, I find myself popping on my headphones and listening back to the rush of falling water. When I close my eyes, I can feel the spray of water against my skin, the sense of letting my ears _____30_____ me on a faraway adventure. Mentally, I’m right back there — if only for a moment. BBC 【答案】21. K 22. E 23. G 24. B 25. I 26. C 27. J 28. H 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】作者以自身经历阐述为何应记录旅行中的声音。作者在旅行中前往仙女洞，被洞内瀑布声吸引并记录，指出自己像他人收集纪念品一样收集声音记录，结合研究说明大脑对声音记忆的特点，强调记录声音对真切回忆旅行体验的重要性，还提及人们对声景文化意义的关注度在提升。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：在进入一个黑暗的洞穴并在昏暗的走廊中蜿蜒前行后，我终于来到了仙女洞的主要看点：一个倾泻而下的瀑布。根据“a plunging waterfall.”可知，一个倾泻而下的瀑布是主要看点。“viewpoint”常见意为“观点” ，在此语境中可理解为“值得看的点，看点” ，作宾语。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：我来寻找一种声音，而不是一处景观。“sight”意思是“景观；景象” 作宾语。前文作者提到到达仙女洞听到瀑布声并记录，此句表明自己的目的是声音而非单纯的景观，与前文形成对比。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：在我的旅行中，我发现自己像其他人收集纪念品一样收集声音记录。根据“Throughout my travels,”可知，其他人收集的的是纪念品。“souvenirs”意思是“纪念品” ，“collect souvenirs”为常见搭配，形象地将作者收集声音记录类比为人们常规收集纪念品的行为。 【24题详解】 考查名词。句意：就像一些旅行者拍摄风景或食物的照片一样，我开始以一种奇怪而艺术的方式来帮助我记住旅行中一些最有趣的细节。“details”意思是“细节”作宾语 ，记录声音是为了记住旅行中诸如脚步声、鸟鸣声等有趣的细节。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：乔达诺解释说，我们的大脑将声音转化为记忆的方式与我们处理其他感官信息的方式几乎相同，但我们似乎更擅长记住我们看到和触摸到的东西，而不是听到的东西。根据后文“sound into memory in a nearly identical way as we do with other senses”可知，这里描述大脑对声音信息的处理过程，即将声音转化为记忆。“transform...into...”意思是“把……转化为……” 。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：一项研究表明，如果我们拍摄某样东西的照片并记录下同样东西的声音，当我们在手机上回看时，图像会让我们觉得更熟悉，而声音会显得更新鲜，在某种程度上，更新或更清晰。根据“if we take a picture of something and record the sound of the same thing”可知，当我们在手机上回看时，图像会让我们觉得更熟悉。“familiar”意思是“熟悉的”，作表语。 【27题详解】 考查副词。句意：由于我们的声音记忆很差，也许记录声音比拍照更重要，这样我们才能真正回忆起这段经历。根据“it’s perhaps more important to record sounds than to take photos,”可知，许记录声音比拍照更重要，这样我们才能真正回忆起这段经历。“truly”意思是“真正地” ，修饰动词“recall”作状语，强调记录声音能使我们真实地回忆起旅行经历。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：波伦巴被这个声音深深打动，于是她把它录了下来。根据“she recorded it.”可知，波伦巴被这个声音深深打动。“be struck by”表示“被……打动；被……吸引” ，描述波伦巴对火山海滩声音的感受，因被打动所以录制声音。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：近几十年来，人们越来越意识到，学会倾听周围的世界可以揭示一种完全不同的文化沉浸形式，比如在拉普兰发起的一场声景运动。根据“how learning to listen to the world around us can reveal an entirely different form of cultural immersion”可知，这是人们意识到的。“awareness”意思是“意识” ，作主语，“a heightened awareness”表示意识的增强，即人们对倾听周围世界所揭示的文化沉浸形式的认知在提高。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：当我闭上眼睛，我能感觉到水花溅到我的皮肤上，感觉像是让我的耳朵引领我进行一次遥远的冒险。根据“me on a faraway adventure.”可知，指引领作者进行一次遥远的冒险“lead”意思是“引领；带领” 。 III. Reading Comprehension: Section A (15%) Directions: For 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. How to Know If You Talk Too Much Talking can cloud your perception like smoke in your eyes. Once you’re on a roll, it’s very easy to not notice that you’ve ____31____ your welcome. You may not even realize that the other person is ____32____ trying to get a word in, or subtly signaling that they need to be elsewhere. Why does this happen? First, the very simple reason is that all human beings have a (n) ____33____ to be listened to. But second, the process of talking about ourselves releases dopamine, the pleasure hormone. One of the reasons gabby (喋喋不休的) people keep gabbing is because they become ____34____ that pleasure. Not long after my book, Just Listen, came out, I too succumbed (屈服) to ignoring signs that I had started to ____35____ my friend and fellow coach, Marty Nemko, host of a radio show. He and I have been coaching each other for some time. He ____36____ when he told me, “Mark, for an expert on listening, you need to talk less and listen more.” After I recovered from the ____37____, he pointed out a useful strategy that I have been using. It’s helping me and it might help you. Nemko calls it the Traffic Light Rule. In the first 20 seconds of talking, your light is green: your listener is liking you, as long as your statement is (38) ____38____ to the conversation and hopefully in service of the other person. But unless you are an extremely-gifted raconteur (讲故事高手) , people who talk for more than roughly half a minute are often perceived as too chatty. So the light turns yellow for the next 20 seconds — now the ____39____ is increasing that the other person is beginning to lose interest or think you’re long-winded (啰嗦的). At the 40-second mark, your light is red. Yes, there’s an occasional time you want to run that red light and keep talking, but the vast majority of the time, you’d better stop or you’re in ____40____. Whatever the cause, filibustering (长篇大论) is usually a conversational turn-off (扫兴的事), and may result in both of you deteriorating (恶化, 退化) into alternating monologues (独角戏). And that certainly will do little to move the conversation or your ____41____ forward. One reason some people are long-winded is because they’re trying to impress their conversational counterpart with how smart they are, often because they don’t actually feel that way underneath. If this is the case for you, realize that ____42____ to talk will only cause the other person to be less impressed. Of course, some people who talk too much simply “may not have a sense of the ____43____ of time,” Nemko says. If this is the case, the cure is not to look inside yourself for psychological insight. It’s just to develop a better ____44____ sense of how long 20 and 40 seconds are. Finally, remember that even 20 seconds of talking can be a turn-off if you don’t include the other person in the conversation. To avoid that, ask questions, try to ____45____ what they say, and look for ways to include them in the conversation so it is a genuine dialogue instead of a diatribe (长篇大论) . Well, I think my 40 seconds is up, so I’ll stop here. HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW 31. A. broken up B. gone after C. run across D. worn out 32. A. anxiously B. dependently C. frustratingly D. politely 33.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Beauty that can’t be seen In the serene town of Willowbrook resided the young maiden Lily. Her skin bore the intricate tapestry of a rare condition, a mosaic of scars and blemishes that danced across her face like a testament to the trials she had endured. Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace. One fateful afternoon, as the sun descended in a cascade of golden hues, Lily’s path intertwined with that of Lucas, a young man whose world was veiled in eternal darkness. Drawn by the angelic voice of Lily and the kindness that exuded from her very being, Lucas found comfort in her presence. Their friendship blossomed like a delicate flower, each moment spent together a symphony of shared laughter and unspoken understanding. As the days bring more shared experiences, Lucas found himself fascinated by the world as perceived through Lily’s eyes. In her, he discovered a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of beauty that transcended the confines of sight, a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude. Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world. With each passing day, their bond deepened, evolving into a romance that defied the conventions of superficiality and embraced the profound connection that existed between their souls. Lily and Lucas found a beauty that transcended the limitations of physical form, a beauty that dwelled in the uncharted depths of their souls. Their love became a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, a reminder that true beauty is not merely skin-deep but a radiant light that originates from the very core of our being, touching the hearts of all who dare to see beyond the surface. 46.

(被莉莉天使般的声音和从她身上散发出来的善良所吸引，卢卡斯在她的面前找到了安慰。他们的友谊像娇嫩的花朵一样绽放，在一起度过的每一刻都是共同欢笑和无言理解的交响乐。)”以及第三段“As the days bring more shared experiences, Lucas found himself fascinated by the world as perceived through Lily’s eyes. (随着日子一天天过去，卢卡斯发现自己被莉莉眼中的世界迷住了。)”可知，盲人卢卡斯通过花时间和她在一起，通过她的眼睛看世界，来从莉莉独特的视角来欣赏美。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In her, he discovered a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of beauty that transcended the confines of sight, a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude. (在她身上，他发现了一种超越视觉界限的万花筒般的美，一种由善良、同情和坚定不移的态度交织而成的美。)”可知，尽管莉莉身上有他看不见的伤疤，卢卡斯还是认为她美丽是因为她的善良、同情和在困难生活中坚定不移的力量。故选B。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude”以及“Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world. (虽然他的眼睛看不到莉莉身体上的伤疤，但他的心看到了她存在的真正本质——一个明亮的灵魂，照亮了他世界最黑暗的角落。)”可知，卢卡斯发现了一种超越视觉界限的万花筒般的美，一种由善良、同情和坚定的态度编织而成的美。故划线词意思是“超越”。故选A。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Their love became a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, a reminder that true beauty is not merely skin-deep but a radiant light that originates from the very core of our being, touching the hearts of all who dare to see beyond the surface. (他们的爱证明了人类精神的持久力量，提醒我们真正的美不仅仅是肤浅的，而是一种来自我们生命核心的光芒，触动了所有敢于看穿表面的人的心。)”可知，美不是肤浅的，而是一种从内心发出的光芒，它能照亮他人对美的定义最符合莉莉和卢卡斯故事的本质。故选B。 (B) In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin. Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’t add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin. Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores. Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion. Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution. Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products. Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas. Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath. Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it! 50. To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________. A. milk B. olive oil C. honey D. tangerine 51. For a berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何利用食物成分改善皮肤护理效果，包括牛奶保湿、橄榄油滋润、葡萄抗氧化、木瓜去角质、草莓舒缓红肿、蜂蜜保湿和橘子去屑，强调天然成分的优势和健康护肤的重要性。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. (牛奶富含蛋白质和脂质，如果经常饮用，可以帮助皮肤保持水分，保持皮肤湿润和柔软。)”和表格第二行的“While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.(虽然橄榄油是一种极好的保湿剂，但最好将含有橄榄油的产品用在胳膊和腿上，而不是脸上，以避免堵塞毛孔。)”和表格第六行的“Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated.(蜂蜜有助于锁住水分，缓解皮肤干燥，使皮肤柔软、水润。)”和表格第七行的“Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion.(橘子富含果酸，可以帮助皮肤去角质，促进皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。含有柑橘类成分的护肤品可以帮助去除死皮细胞，让皮肤下面呈现出一层新鲜的皮肤。)”可知， 文中提到了橘子的去角质特性，因为它含有果酸，可以使皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。然而，与牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜相比，橘子通常不专门用于保湿目的，而牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜则以其对皮肤的保湿和补水功效而闻名。因此，橘子不适合用于保持皮肤水分。故选D。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“However, you can’s add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.(然而，你不能在自制的面膜中加入牛奶来补水，因为它可能会导致皮肤过敏，因为丰富的营养不能被皮肤吸收。) ”和表格第四行的“However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.(然而，皮肤敏感或对木瓜过敏的人应该谨慎行事。) ”和表格第五行的“However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.(然而，对浆果过敏的人应该避开草莓类产品。) ”可知，牛奶、木瓜和草莓对于一个对浆果过敏、皮肤敏感的老太太来说都不合适，再由表格第三行的“Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.(葡萄不仅是一种美味的零食，也是一种温和的抗氧化剂来源，通过对抗自由基提供抗衰老保护，自由基会对皮肤造成损害。在你的饮食或护肤中加入葡萄可以帮助你拥有更年轻的肤色。) ”可知，葡萄可以添加到她的饮食和日常护肤中，帮助她保持年轻。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.(为了获得容光焕发和年轻的皮肤，许多人转向化妆品和治疗。然而，大自然为我们提供了大量的成分，可以为我们的皮肤创造奇迹，而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的程序。在日常护肤中加入食物成分是一种既美味又有效的滋养和呵护皮肤的方法。)”和最后一段的“Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!(将这些食物成分加入你的护肤程序中可以为你的皮肤提供许多好处，从补水和去角质到抗氧化保护和抗衰老。利用大自然的恩赐，你可以获得健康、容光焕发的皮肤，而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的治疗。所以下次你在厨房的时候，考虑使用这些天然成分，从内到外滋养和呵护你的皮肤。你的皮肤会感谢你的！)”可知，从牛奶、橄榄油、葡萄、木瓜、草莓、蜂蜜和橘子等食品中提取的天然护肤成分对皮肤补水、抗衰老、去角质和整体皮肤健康的好处，目标受众可能对自然的方法感兴趣，而不是诉诸刺激性化学物质或侵入性治疗，因此这篇文章针对的是那些想要变得美丽和健康的女性。故选C。 (C) Many scientists are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) for the moment. Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Esmeyer does it in a special way — by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years' experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear. Esmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Esmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents. The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Esmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1,600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study. As the result of his work, Esmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves. 53. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. A. repair rooms B. trading fairs C. business talks D. group meetings 54. Esmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out ______. A. what caused the shipping accident B. when and where the shoes went missing C. whether it was all right to use their shoes D. how much they lost in the shipping accident 55. Esmeyer is most famous for ______. A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world B. making records for any lost objects on the sea C. running a global currents research association D. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea 56. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution. B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean. C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents. D. To give advice on how to search for lost objects on the beach. 【答案】53. B 54. C 55. D 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述海洋专家Curtis Ebbesmeyer通过一种特殊的方式来研究洋流,即通过追踪随机漂浮垃圾的运动轨迹来研究洋流。 【53题详解】 词义猜测题，根据第一段划线句下文“to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.(以试图匹配左右鞋子来出售或穿着)”可推断，有这么多的鞋，人们设立了旧物交换会尝试匹配的左、右鞋出售或穿着。可知swap meets意为贸易交换所。故选B。 【54题详解】 细节理解题，根据第二段的“He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Esmeyer realized this could be a great experiment.(他打电话给鞋业公司，问他们是否想要回鞋子。不出所料，该公司告诉他，他们不要。埃斯迈耶意识到这可能是一个伟大的实验)”可知，Ebbesmeye打电话的目的是为了确定自己是否有权使用这些鞋子。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As the result of his work, Esmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.(由于他的工作成果，埃斯迈耶已经成为著名的科学家，会有人打电话询问在海洋中发现的任何不寻常的漂浮物。他甚至成立了一个由海滩拾荒者和海洋专家组成的协会，从西非到新西兰，已有500名会员。他们记录了从土豆到高尔夫手套的所有失物)”可知，Ebbesmeyer已经成为一位知名科学家，一旦发现海上有不寻常的漂浮物时，人们都会打电话咨询他，故选D。 【56题详解】 推理判断题，根据第一段“Many scientists are making greater effort to study ocean currents(洋流) for the moment. Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Esmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage.(现在科学家们正在努力研究洋流。大多数人使用卫星和其他高科技设备。然而,海洋专家Curtis Ebbesmeyer一采用种特殊的方式来研究洋流,即通过追踪随机漂浮垃圾的运动轨迹来研究洋流)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是阐述一种特殊的研究海洋洋流的方式。故选C。 Section C 8% Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only one. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Success Requires “Ample Doses of Pain” Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has a simple message for young people who want to achieve greatness: No pain, no gain. That was essentially his message for students at his alma mater, Stanford University, where he made a speech at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. “Greatness is not intelligence. ____57____ And character isn’t formed out of smart people; it’s formed out of people who suffered,” Huang said in response to a question about how students can maximize their shot at being successful. ____58____ In 1993, he co-founded computer chip company Nvidia, where he’s served as CEO for more than three decades. The company’s success turned Huang into a billionaire. Now, with Nvidia’s chips in high demand for building AI software, it’s become one of the world’s most valuable companies with a valuation worth of $2trillion. “One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations,” Huang said, noting that most Stanford graduates have very high expectations as a result of having an elite education. Often people with very high expectations have very low resilience because they are not accustomed to, or prepared for, failure. “____59____ I don’t know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you,” he said. Psychologists also tend to agree that resilient people are more likely to have the strength and confidence to handle challenges and bounce back from failure. Huang certainly had to struggle in his company’s early days. “To this day I use the phrase ‘pain and suffering’ inside our company with great joy,” Huang told the Stanford students. “____60____ You want greatness out of it.” A. Greatness comes from character. B. Unfortunately, resilience matters in success. C. Building character is a key factor in determining success. D. When it comes to achieving success, Huang knows more than most. E. That’s why I still worry Nvidia could ultimately fail, despite its massive success. F. I mean that in a happy way, because you want to refine the character of your company. 【答案】57. A 58. D 59. B 60.

Summary Writing (61) (10%) 61. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Endangered Species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup. So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Animals soon to be extinct are called endangered species which are mainly caused by humans. The main reason is habitat destruction caused by humans moving into new areas and pollution. Another reason is hunting and fishing for animals’ fur, bones or skin, and sometimes sport. Individuals and governments should cooperate to protect habitat and ban hunting and fishing.

After reading your article about high technology, I can’t fully agree that it undermines people’s ability to think independently. Admittedly, many rely on search engines for instant answers and stop thinking deeply. However, high-tech actually offers more chances to train independent thinking. Online databases provide rich materials for us to compare, analyze and draw our own conclusions instead of accepting single opinions blindly. Besides, various thinking tools and educational apps encourage us to solve problems in creative ways. What really weakens independent thought is laziness rather than technology itself. If we use digital tools wisely as helpers rather than substitutes, we can greatly improve our thinking ability. I hope my opinion can be published.
