第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Britain’s seaside towns, once badly hurt, are now coming back to life! Old buildings still stand, but new art centres, fun activities, and popular places are bringing back their past glory. Here are four towns to visit this summer.
Scarborough, Yorkshire
Scarborough may be Britain’s first seaside spot for vacation. In the 1600s, people came for its health-giving springs. After years of downturn, it’s now improving thanks to new plans: hosting everything from poetry readings to rock music festivals, while still welcoming visitors to its top-rated beaches.
Margate, Kent
Every coastal town wants to attract visitors all year, and Margate does this best. When bad weather keeps people from the beach, there’s lots of indoor fun-like old-fashioned games and the Turner Contemporary art centre. But what really helps Margate grow is the strong community spirit, everyone working together.
Barmouth, Wales
On the way to famous North Wales spots like Snowdonia, don’t miss Barmouth! This hidden town sits where a river meets the sea, with mountains behind its beaches. Its slogan (口号) is “mountain, sand & sea” — just look at the sunset over the water with mountains in the distance. Many visitors love it so much that they decide to move here and become residents!
Penzance, Cornwall
Penzance has recovered slowly, not suddenly. Over the last 10 years, many new projects have helped the town. The main events are the 10-day Golowan festival, which features parades and shows, and the Montol winter celebration. Visitors can take a sleeper train (a train with beds) from London, or fly by helicopter to nearby Scilly Isles. The local food is also very popular!
1. What attracted people to Scarborough in the 1600s?
A. Poetry readings. B. Music festivals. C. Seaside attractions. D. Healthful springs.
2. What is the main factor for Margate’s growth?
A. Warm weather. B. Indoor activities. C. Local teamwork. D. Modern facilities.
3. Which town has liveable natural conditions?
A. Margate, Kent. B. Barmouth, Wales.
C. Penzance, Cornwall. D. Scarborough, Yorkshire.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个英国值得在今年夏天前往游览的城镇。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 1600s, people came for its health-giving springs.(在17世纪,人们前来此地是因为这里有着有益健康的温泉水)”可知,17世纪时,优质的温泉吸引了人们来到斯卡伯勒。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But what really helps Margate grow is the strong community spirit, everyone working together.(但真正推动马格特发展的是浓厚的社区精神,即所有人齐心协力)”可知,马盖特发展壮大的主要因素是地方团队合作。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“On the way to famous North Wales spots like Snowdonia, don’t miss Barmouth! This hidden town sits where a river meets the sea, with mountains behind its beaches. Its slogan (口号) is “mountain, sand & sea” — just look at the sunset over the water with mountains in the distance. Many visitors love it so much that they decide to move here and become residents!(在前往著名的北威尔士景点(如斯诺多尼亚)的途中,千万不要错过Barmouth!这座隐匿的小镇位于一条河流与大海交汇之处,其海滩背后是群山。它的宣传口号是“山、沙与海”——只需看看那远处山峦与水面交相辉映的落日景色即可。许多游客如此喜爱这里,以至于决定搬到这里并成为这里的居民!)”可知,Barmouth具备适宜居住的自然条件。故选B。
B
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
4. What does the new study focus on?
A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
5. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds?
A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed.
C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect?
A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application.
C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation.
7. What does Loconsole say about the effect?
A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency.
C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应,即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来;一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象,并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性,同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现:雏鸡也会做出同样的配对,这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知,这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时,80%会先靠近圆润形状,平均花三分多钟探索它,而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知,雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为,这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的,现在可以排除这种说法,因为小鸡尽管不会说话,但还是表现出了这种效果。相反,“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知,本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说:“即使语言是人类独有的,这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知,她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。
C
Inference is like a secret key to unlock deeper meanings, whether in books or daily conversations. It helps us move beyond surface-level words to catch what is truly meant. For students, this skill is not just about passing exams — it shapes how they see the world through an author’s eyes. They look for clues (线索) that show what the writer really means. Without it, reading becomes a flat list of words, like trying to understand a song by only reading its lyrics.
Good readers act like detectives. They connect tiny clues in the text to their own lives. Such personal links deepen the reading experience. Imagine a story describing a girl “clenching her fists during an argument”. A skilled reader wouldn’t just see fists; they’d sense her anger or frustration, perhaps recalling a time they felt the same way.
In school, inference turns confusing texts into clear ideas. When a history story says, “The king’s decision caused whispers in the court,” students need to infer that people doubted the king. They draw information from their existing knowledge, and relate to the characters more deeply. This way, they learn to read between the lines everywhere. This skill even helps in science — like guessing an experiment’s purpose from its steps.
Inference is why books feel alive. Those who use it well don’t just read stories; they live them. Their minds add sounds, smells, and feelings to the text. A simple sentence like “The campfire died slowly” might make them smell smoke, hear crackling wood, and feel the loneliness of night — all without the author spelling it out.
8. What is the primary function of inference in reading?
A. To understand new words. B. To help students pass exams.
C. To get underlying meanings. D. To write a summary of the text.
9. Why does the author compare good readers to detectives?
A. To explain a sentence. B. To find the differences.
C. To highlight their roles. D. To show their similarities.
10. What can you infer from the underlined sentence?
A. The king hated the people’s whispers. B. The people doubted the king’s decision.
C. The king made a loud announcement. D. The court was now a very noisy place.
11. What does the underlined word “live” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Experience. B. Memorize. C. Comment. D. Compose.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍推理是理解深层含义的关键,能助读者结合线索和自身经验深化理解,对学习和感受文本至关重要。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Inference is like a secret key to unlock deeper meanings, whether in books or daily conversations. It helps us move beyond surface-level words to catch what is truly meant. (无论是在书中还是在日常对话中,推理都像是解开更深层次含义的秘密钥匙。它帮助我们超越表面的单词,抓住真正的意思。)” 可知,推理在阅读中的主要功能是获取潜在含义。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Good readers act like detectives. They connect tiny clues in the text to their own lives.(优秀的读者就像侦探。他们把文本中的细微线索和自己的生活联系起来。)” 可知,作者将优秀读者比作侦探,是为了展示两者的相似之处(都通过线索探寻信息)。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When a history story says, ‘The king’s decision caused whispers in the court,’ students need to infer that people doubted the king.(当一个历史故事说‘国王的决定在宫廷里引起了窃窃私语’时,学生们需要推断出人们对国王产生了怀疑。)”可知,从划线句可推断出人们质疑国王的决定。故选B项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Those who use it well don’t just read stories; they live them. Their minds add sounds, smells, and feelings to the text.(善于运用推理的人不仅仅是读故事,他们还 live故事。他们的大脑为文本增添了声音、气味和感觉。)”可知,他们的大脑为文本增添了声音、气味和感觉,所以让他们更好地体验故事,所以猜测live在这里指“体验”,与Experience语义一致。故选A项。
D
After 25 years, of professional experience, Brandi Fields thought she wouldn’t get back to campus again — until her son Kyle’s transformation at Texas Christian University (TCU) made her see education in a new light. The mother and her son will strengthen their connection even more at this week’s spring graduation ceremony, as they honor their achievement of earning graduate degrees at the same time.
Brandi, 50, and Kyle,.22, will walk across the stage together to accept their respective graduate degrees, with their family and friends cheering them on from the audience. Kyle began his undergraduate studies at TCU in the fall of 2020. Soon after, his family moved to Fort Worth, motivated to be closer as a family. In May 2023, Kyle earned his bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in communications and a minor in business. In fall 2023, both mother and son were back in the classroom — Brandi joined the EMBA program and Kyle began the master’s degree program with AddRan College of Liberal Arts.
Brandi said her new college experience brought immersive (沉浸式的) learning, late night readings and a transformative study abroad trip to South Africa. Through it all, she described feeling deeply supported by her family and the remarkable EMBA academic (学术的) team and staff who shaped her experience to be impactful and unforgettable. Outside the classroom, Brandi and Kyle found a lot of moments of connection. “Spending time together, just doing homework on the sofa gave us a lot of time, a lot of things to connect through,” Kyle shared.
About this week’s spring graduation ceremony, Brandi said she’s not yet sure how she’ll react on that day, but she knows there will no doubt be tears as she cheers on her son as he walks across the stage. For her to be doing it in her own cap and gown (长袍) from the floor of Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena will make that a unique memory she’ll value forever.
12. What made Brandi decide to return to school?
A. The invitation from TCU.
B. A must for her career advancement.
C. A desire to strengthen family relationship.
D. Inspiration from her son’s academic journey.
13. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. Adaptation challenges in college.
B. Completion of a bachelor’s degree.
C. Shared engagement in high education.
D. A relocation decision for family bonds.
14. Which of the following can best describe Brandi at college?
A. She actively took part in various social activities.
B. She put academic excellence before family time.
C. She achieved family harmony and academic success.
D. She struggled with course demands more than Kyle did.
15. What message does the author want to deliver?
A. Age is no wall for a learning call.
B. Learning together, bonding stronger.
C. Home environment shapes child’s growth..
D. Sharing interests, deepening understanding.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】

(在整个过程中,她表示自己得到了家人的大力支持,也得到了卓越的高级工商管理硕士学术团队和工作人员的帮助,他们让她的这段经历变得意义非凡、令人难忘。在课堂之外,布兰迪和凯尔也找到了许多增进感情的时刻。凯尔分享道:“我们花很多时间待在一起,就一起在沙发上做作业,这给了我们很多时间,也让我们有很多可以交流的事情。”)”以及最后一段中“For her to be doing it in her own cap and gown (长袍) from the floor of Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena will make that a unique memory she’ll value forever.

For her to be doing it in her own cap and gown (长袍) from the floor of Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena will make that a unique memory she’ll value forever. (关于本周的春季毕业典礼,布兰迪表示,她还不确定自己届时会有何反应,但她知道,当她看着儿子走上舞台时,自己肯定会热泪盈眶。而她自己也将身着学位帽和长袍,站在埃德和雷·朔尔迈尔体育馆的地板上为儿子欢呼,这将成为她珍视一生的独特回忆。)”可知,文章讲述了布兰迪和儿子凯尔一起在大学学习并同时获得研究生学位,期间母子关系更加紧密的故事,体现了“一起学习,关系更紧密”的主题。B选项“Learning together, bonding stronger (一起学习,关系更紧密)”符合题意。故选B。

Writing is like running: It gets easier the more you train. ____16____ They also do stretches, strength and cross-training. As writers, we can also improve our writing skills by increasing the time we spend on writing and completing other related exercises. Here are some practices that may help you become a better writer. Let’s dive in.
Establish a regular writing routine. Household chores, family obligations, or even TV shows always seem more urgent. However, if you’re serious about writing, you have to go out of your way to make time for it. The trick is changing your mindset. ____17____ Schedule a set time in your day for writing and honour it even when you don’t feel like it.
____18____ Whether you’re writing a novel or a scientific journal article, becoming familiar with examples of excellent writing in your genre will help you improve your own writing. By immersing yourself in works by good writers, you will expand your vocabulary, build knowledge, and feed your imagination.
Plan what you want to say. Every piece of writing has a purpose, whether it’s to persuade the reader, reveal a backstory, or connect emotionally with the reader. You’ll write faster and more clearly if you know that purpose before you start. Therefore, sum up your message in one line before you start. ____19____
Embrace constructive criticism. Seeking feedback (反馈) from the right people is one of the fastest ways to improve as a writer. Unless your friends and family are writers or editors, they’re rarely the best audience. ____20____ Try not to see constructive criticism as failure, but as a learning opportunity.
A. Pick up good books.
B. But serious runners don’t just run.
C. The outline should be as clear as possible.
D. Professional athletes don’t just train their bodies.
E. Treat writing as essential as eating and brushing your teeth.

【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文将写作比作跑步,介绍四种提升写作能力的方法:坚持日常写作、多读优质作品、提前规划内容、积极接纳专业批评建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Writing is like running: It gets easier the more you train.(写作就像跑步:训练得越多,就会越容易)”以及后文“They also do stretches, strength and cross-training. As writers, we can also improve our writing skills by increasing the time we spend on writing and completing other related exercises. Here are some practices that may help you become a better writer. Let’s dive in.(他们还会进行伸展运动、力量训练以及综合训练。作为写作者,我们也可以通过增加写作时间并完成其他相关练习来提升写作技能。以下是一些可能有助于您成为更优秀写作者的实践方法。让我们开始吧)”可知,前文将写作比作跑步,提到训练越多越容易;空后提到跑步者还会做拉伸、力量训练等。B选项“但专业的跑步者不只是跑步”承接上下文,衔接自然。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Establish a regular writing routine. Household chores, family obligations, or even TV shows always seem more urgent. However, if you’re serious about writing, you have to go out of your way to make time for it. The trick is changing your mindset.(建立一个固定的写作习惯。家务琐事、家庭责任,甚至是电视节目似乎总是显得更为紧迫。然而,如果你真的想要进行写作,你就必须特意抽出时间来做这件事。关键在于改变你的思维模式)”本段核心是建立固定写作习惯、转变心态、挤出写作时间。E选项“把写作看得和吃饭、刷牙一样必不可少”对应改变心态,契合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Whether you’re writing a novel or a scientific journal article, becoming familiar with examples of excellent writing in your genre will help you improve your own writing. By immersing yourself in works by good writers, you will expand your vocabulary, build knowledge, and feed your imagination.(无论你是创作小说还是撰写科学期刊文章,熟悉自己所属领域的优秀作品范例都会有助于提升你的写作水平。通过深入研读优秀作家的作品,你能够丰富词汇量、增长知识储备,并激发想象力)”可知,空后讲述阅读同类型优秀作品、沉浸优秀作家作品的好处。A选项“阅读优质书籍”为本段中心句,引出下文内容。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Therefore, sum up your message in one line before you start.(因此,在开始之前,请先将你要表达的意思概括成一句话)”可知,前文提到写作前用一句话概括核心主旨。F选项“你可以把它写在便利贴上,提醒自己写作重点”承接前一句的做法,逻辑连贯。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Embrace constructive criticism. Seeking feedback (反馈) from the right people is one of the fastest ways to improve as a writer. Unless your friends and family are writers or editors, they’re rarely the best audience.(欣然接受建设性的批评。从合适的对象那里获取反馈是提升写作水平最快的方法之一。除非你的朋友和家人也是作家或编辑,否则他们通常不是最佳的听众)”可知,前文指出亲友大多不适合给出专业写作反馈;G选项“相反,加入写作小组,获取同行作者的反馈”给出合理解决办法,衔接紧密。故选G。

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。
On a hot late afternoon, I saw an elderly woman struggling with a walker and heavy bags. I made a U-turn and offered to give her a ride. She thanked me and got in.
After a few blocks, we passed under a bridge where several homeless people were living. She asked me to stop. I hesitated, thinking to myself, “Could this be where she lives?”
Thankfully, it wasn’t. She rolled down her window and called out to them, “You all come by later. It’s spaghetti (意大利面) night tonight.”
Then, we continued on, chatting. Her name was Ida. She worked at a grocery (杂货店) store and had missed her bus. She had grandchildren. She even shared her spaghetti recipe with me.
It was getting dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old house where she lived. Several young men stood around the entrance. One, with long hair, stared (盯) at me with an unusual smile.
I felt nervous, but Ida seemed calm. I quickly helped her unload (卸货) and drove away. Soon, darkness fell. I got lost and had to rely on my GPS. Suddenly, I heard a motorcycle behind me. It was that young man with long hair!
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He kept following me, waving for me to stop.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The young man handed me my wallet through the window.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
He kept following me, waving for me to stop. My heart raced with fear. I tried to speed up, but he stayed close. In panic, I drove erratically as I reached down for my phone, which was in my wallet, to call for help — only to find my wallet gone! “The elderly woman must be the one who took it!” I thought angrily. Then I noticed a different wallet on the floor of my car. Meanwhile, the young man still followed, now holding up my wallet! Confused, I stopped the car.
The young man handed me my wallet through the window. “Grandma sent me. She picked it up by mistake. She’s very sorry.” His smile now seemed kind, not frightening. I was speechless as I handed him his grandma’s wallet and then he went off in a hurry. I waved at the young man to stop as I quickly got a few dollars from my wallet. I wanted to reward him ever so slightly, but he had disappeared into the night. I never had a chance to say I was sorry for my thoughts. Just because he looked like he was on the “wild side”, I assumed he was a bad man.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在一个炎热的傍晚帮助一位名叫Ida的老妇人搭车回家。到达Ida家时,作者因门口几个年轻男子而感到不安,尤其是一个长发男子奇怪的笑容令他紧张。作者帮Ida卸货后匆忙离开,却在黑暗中迷路,此时那个长发男子骑摩托车追了上来,作者顿时陷入恐惧,以为遭遇了危险。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写作者被追赶时的恐惧心理,发现钱包丢失后误以为是Ida偷的,却意外发现车上多了另一个钱包,而长发男子正举着自己的钱包在追赶。
② 由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写长发男子归还钱包并解释是Ida误拿了钱包,作者意识到自己以貌取人的错误,想要回报却已来不及,最终反思不应仅凭外表判断他人。
2. 续写线索:被追赶感到恐惧 ——发现钱包丢失,误以为是老妇人偷的 ——发现另一个钱包 ——男子举着“我”的钱包 —— 男子归还钱包并解释是奶奶误拿 ——作者感到愧疚 ——反思以貌取人的错误
3. 词汇激活
行为类
① 注意到:notice/ spot
② 消失:disappear/vanish
情绪类
①惊恐地 :with fear/in terror
② 愤怒地:angrily/furiously
【点睛】【高分句型1】In panic, I drove erratically as I reached down for my phone, which was in my wallet, to call for help — only to find my wallet gone! (运用了 which引导的非限制性定语从句 以及 only to do结构作结果状语)
【高分句型2】Meanwhile, the young man still followed, now holding up my wallet! (运用了动名词短语holding...作伴随状语)

Britain’s seaside towns, once badly hurt, are now coming back to life! Old buildings still stand, but new art centres, fun activities, and popular places are bringing back their past glory. Here are four towns to visit this summer.
Scarborough, Yorkshire
Scarborough may be Britain’s first seaside spot for vacation. In the 1600s, people came for its health-giving springs. After years of downturn, it’s now improving thanks to new plans: hosting everything from poetry readings to rock music festivals, while still welcoming visitors to its top-rated beaches.
Margate, Kent
Every coastal town wants to attract visitors all year, and Margate does this best. When bad weather keeps people from the beach, there’s lots of indoor fun-like old-fashioned games and the Turner Contemporary art centre. But what really helps Margate grow is the strong community spirit, everyone working together.
Barmouth, Wales
On the way to famous North Wales spots like Snowdonia, don’t miss Barmouth! This hidden town sits where a river meets the sea, with mountains behind its beaches. Its slogan (口号) is “mountain, sand & sea” — just look at the sunset over the water with mountains in the distance. Many visitors love it so much that they decide to move here and become residents!
Penzance, Cornwall
Penzance has recovered slowly, not suddenly. Over the last 10 years, many new projects have helped the town. The main events are the 10-day Golowan festival, which features parades and shows, and the Montol winter celebration. Visitors can take a sleeper train (a train with beds) from London, or fly by helicopter to nearby Scilly Isles. The local food is also very popular!
1. What attracted people to Scarborough in the 1600s?
A. Poetry readings. B. Music festivals. C. Seaside attractions. D. Healthful springs.
2. What is the main factor for Margate’s growth?
A. Warm weather. B. Indoor activities. C. Local teamwork. D. Modern facilities.
3. Which town has liveable natural conditions?
A. Margate, Kent. B. Barmouth, Wales.
C. Penzance, Cornwall. D. Scarborough, Yorkshire.
B
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
4. What does the new study focus on?
A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
5. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds?
A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed.
C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect?
A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application.
C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation.
7. What does Loconsole say about the effect?
A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency.
C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence.
C
Inference is like a secret key to unlock deeper meanings, whether in books or daily conversations. It helps us move beyond surface-level words to catch what is truly meant. For students, this skill is not just about passing exams — it shapes how they see the world through an author’s eyes. They look for clues (线索) that show what the writer really means. Without it, reading becomes a flat list of words, like trying to understand a song by only reading its lyrics.
Good readers act like detectives. They connect tiny clues in the text to their own lives. Such personal links deepen the reading experience. Imagine a story describing a girl “clenching her fists during an argument”. A skilled reader wouldn’t just see fists; they’d sense her anger or frustration, perhaps recalling a time they felt the same way.
In school, inference turns confusing texts into clear ideas. When a history story says, “The king’s decision caused whispers in the court,” students need to infer that people doubted the king. They draw information from their existing knowledge, and relate to the characters more deeply. This way, they learn to read between the lines everywhere. This skill even helps in science — like guessing an experiment’s purpose from its steps.
Inference is why books feel alive. Those who use it well don’t just read stories; they live them. Their minds add sounds, smells, and feelings to the text. A simple sentence like “The campfire died slowly” might make them smell smoke, hear crackling wood, and feel the loneliness of night — all without the author spelling it out.
8. What is the primary function of inference in reading?
A. To understand new words. B. To help students pass exams.
C. To get underlying meanings. D. To write a summary of the text.
9. Why does the author compare good readers to detectives?
A. To explain a sentence. B. To find the differences.
C. To highlight their roles. D. To show their similarities.
10. What can you infer from the underlined sentence?
A. The king hated the people’s whispers. B. The people doubted the king’s decision.
C. The king made a loud announcement. D. The court was now a very noisy place.
11. What does the underlined word “live” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Experience. B. Memorize. C. Comment. D. Compose.
D
After 25 years, of professional experience, Brandi Fields thought she wouldn’t get back to campus again — until her son Kyle’s transformation at Texas Christian University (TCU) made her see education in a new light. The mother and her son will strengthen their connection even more at this week’s spring graduation ceremony, as they honor their achievement of earning graduate degrees at the same time.
Brandi, 50, and Kyle,.22, will walk across the stage together to accept their respective graduate degrees, with their family and friends cheering them on from the audience. Kyle began his undergraduate studies at TCU in the fall of 2020. Soon after, his family moved to Fort Worth, motivated to be closer as a family. In May 2023, Kyle earned his bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in communications and a minor in business. In fall 2023, both mother and son were back in the classroom — Brandi joined the EMBA program and Kyle began the master’s degree program with AddRan College of Liberal Arts.
Brandi said her new college experience brought immersive (沉浸式的) learning, late night readings and a transformative study abroad trip to South Africa. Through it all, she described feeling deeply supported by her family and the remarkable EMBA academic (学术的) team and staff who shaped her experience to be impactful and unforgettable. Outside the classroom, Brandi and Kyle found a lot of moments of connection. “Spending time together, just doing homework on the sofa gave us a lot of time, a lot of things to connect through,” Kyle shared.
About this week’s spring graduation ceremony, Brandi said she’s not yet sure how she’ll react on that day, but she knows there will no doubt be tears as she cheers on her son as he walks across the stage. For her to be doing it in her own cap and gown (长袍) from the floor of Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena will make that a unique memory she’ll value forever.
12. What made Brandi decide to return to school?
A. The invitation from TCU.
B. A must for her career advancement.
C. A desire to strengthen family relationship.
D. Inspiration from her son’s academic journey.
13. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. Adaptation challenges in college.
B. Completion of a bachelor’s degree.
C. Shared engagement in high education.
D. A relocation decision for family bonds.
14. Which of the following can best describe Brandi at college?
A. She actively took part in various social activities.
B. She put academic excellence before family time.
C. She achieved family harmony and academic success.
D. She struggled with course demands more than Kyle did.
15. What message does the author want to deliver?
A. Age is no wall for a learning call.
B. Learning together, bonding stronger.

Writing is like running: It gets easier the more you train. ____16____ They also do stretches, strength and cross-training. As writers, we can also improve our writing skills by increasing the time we spend on writing and completing other related exercises. Here are some practices that may help you become a better writer. Let’s dive in.
Establish a regular writing routine. Household chores, family obligations, or even TV shows always seem more urgent. However, if you’re serious about writing, you have to go out of your way to make time for it. The trick is changing your mindset. ____17____ Schedule a set time in your day for writing and honour it even when you don’t feel like it.
____18____ Whether you’re writing a novel or a scientific journal article, becoming familiar with examples of excellent writing in your genre will help you improve your own writing.

On a hot late afternoon, I saw an elderly woman struggling with a walker and heavy bags. I made a U-turn and offered to give her a ride. She thanked me and got in.
After a few blocks, we passed under a bridge where several homeless people were living. She asked me to stop. I hesitated, thinking to myself, “Could this be where she lives?”
Thankfully, it wasn’t. She rolled down her window and called out to them, “You all come by later. It’s spaghetti (意大利面) night tonight.”
Then, we continued on, chatting. Her name was Ida. She worked at a grocery (杂货店) store and had missed her bus. She had grandchildren. She even shared her spaghetti recipe with me.
It was getting dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old house where she lived. Several young men stood around the entrance. One, with long hair, stared (盯) at me with an unusual smile.
I felt nervous, but Ida seemed calm. I quickly helped her unload (卸货) and drove away. Soon, darkness fell. I got lost and had to rely on my GPS. Suddenly, I heard a motorcycle behind me. It was that young man with long hair!
