In the winter season, you can explore the galleries and cafes along the seaside streets. You can also get close to the local wildlife in the Pacific Ocean Park. This is where injured sea lions that were rescued off the region’s beaches are cared for before being returned to the wild.

I was sent to a small town in India for two weeks. Little did I know that this short stay would open my eyes to a world of diverse cultures and leave me with memories that would last a lifetime. The town was preparing for a famous local festival called Holi when I arrived. People were busy buying colored powders, preparing traditional sweets, and decorating the streets. Holi is a festival of colors, joy, and love. It celebrates the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil. On the day of the festival, I woke up early to the sound of music and laughter. When I stepped outside, the whole town seemed to be in a frenzy of celebration. People of all ages were running around, throwing colored powders at each other. At first, I was a bit hesitant to join in, as I wasn’t familiar with the customs. But a kind-hearted local girl named Priya came up to me, took my hand, and pulled me into the crowd. She taught me how to play Holi safely and explained the meaning behind every tradition. As the day went on, I found myself covered from head to toe in bright colors. I was laughing and playing with people I had just met, forgetting all about the cultural differences that initially made me feel nervous. We shared stories about our countries, our families, and our dreams. I learned about Indian history, their unique art forms, and their deep-rooted values. In return, I told them about my hometown, the festivals we celebrate, and the food we love. One of the most memorable moments was when we all sat together in the evening, sharing traditional Indian food. The spices, the flavors, and the way the food was prepared were so different from what I was used to, but I loved every bite of it. Through this experience, I realized that cultural differences are not barriers but bridges that connect us. They make the world a more interesting and beautiful place. When I left India, I carried with me not only colorful memories but also a newfound appreciation for the diversity of cultures around the world. 24. Why was the author sent to India? A. To celebrate Holi with family. B. To study Indian history. C. To learn Indian art forms. D. To take part in an exchange program. 25. The underlined word “frenzy” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______ A. calm state B. wild excitement C. low movement D. quiet atmosphere 26. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author didn’t enjoy the Indian food. B. Holi is only celebrated by young people in India. C. The author was afraid of the local people at first. D. The author’s attitude towards cultural differences changed after the experience. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce the festival of Holi in India. B. To show the author’s love for Indian art forms. C. To describe the traditional Indian food. D. To tell the story of the author’s experience in India and the understanding of cultural diversity. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者参加国际学生交流项目，在印度小镇体验洒红节并理解文化多样性的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Last summer, I was lucky enough to be part of an international student exchange program. I was sent to a small town in India for two weeks. (去年夏天，我很幸运地参加了一个国际学生交流项目。我被派往印度的一个小镇两周。)”可知，作者被派往印度是参加一个国际学生交流项目。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后文“People of all ages were running around, throwing colored powders at each other. (各个年龄段的人都在跑来跑去，互相投掷彩色粉末。)”可知，人们在庆祝节日，所以整个城镇似乎都处于一种狂热的庆祝状态中，由此可知，划线词意思为“极度的兴奋”与wild excitement意义相近。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through this experience, I realized that cultural differences are not barriers but bridges that connect us. They make the world a more interesting and beautiful place.

Growing up she had learned that the way to receive recognition and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was heart-broken,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.” Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism (完美主义) is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia. Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in after-school activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also increase unhealthy comparisons. “It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as standards that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to be as good as others,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with other people, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives. Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. She said, “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!” 32. How did Hailey Magee feel when she got an A-minus? A. Satisfied. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested. 33. Perfectionism may result in the following problems EXCEPT _________. A. negative feelings B. high work efficiency C. increased stress levels D. physical problems 34. What does the underlined phrase “a sense of competitiveness” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A strong wish to be better than others. B. A great pressure to get perfect grades. C. A feeling of being judged on social media. D. A belief that top schools are the most important. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Parental Pressure: The Root of All Student Anxiety B. Hailey Magee’s Story: From Straight A’s to Failure C. The Role of Social Media in Creating Feelings of Imperfection D. The Dangers of Perfectionism and the Road to Self-Acceptance 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上的A-而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃，引出话题——这个时代，父母把竞争意识强加给孩子，以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较，完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害，最后接受了自己的不完美。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card.(海莉·麦吉在学校看到自己成绩单上得了A-后，哭着冲回了家)”可知，Hailey Magee哭着跑回家，可推知，Hailey Magee感到失望。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.(高度的完美主义与抑郁、焦虑、进食障碍以及自伤行为有关。不断追求完美的压力还可能导致人们感到紧张，出现头痛和失眠等问题)”可推断出，完美主义会导致压力增加、负面情绪和身体健康问题，但不会提高工作效率，因此选项B“高工作效率”不属于完美主义导致的问题。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in after-school activities that might look good on a college application(他们要么逼迫孩子取得完美成绩以进入顶尖学校，要么让孩子参加课外活动，以为这些能提升大学申请的竞争力)”可知，第三段家长逼迫孩子考高分、参加加分活动，是总想胜过别人的竞争心态。故划线词意思是“想要比别人更好的强烈愿望”。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism (完美主义) is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.(麦吉将取得好成绩变成自己自卑的原因，是近年来一种日益普遍趋势的典型例子：完美主义行为。如今，完美主义已成为一种不断扩散的文化现象。高水平的完美主义与抑郁、焦虑、饮食障碍以及自残行为密切相关。持续追求完美的压力还可能导致人们感到紧张，并引发头痛和失眠等问题)”结合文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上的A-而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃，引出话题——这个时代，父母把竞争意识强加给孩子，以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较，完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害，最后接受了自己的不完美。可知，D选项“完美主义的危险与自我接纳之路”最符合文章标题。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Appreciate Music Better Music is an important part of our life, and it can bring us happiness, calm and inspiration. ____36____, many people don’t know how to appreciate music better.

(你可能会错过很多美妙的音乐。不同的音乐风格各有特色和价值，无论是民间音乐、流行音乐还是古典音乐。试着听不同种类的音乐，你可能会找到新的最爱。)”可知，本空要说如果只局限于一种音乐风格会产生什么后果，A选项“If you only stick to one music style (如果你只坚持一种音乐风格)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“stick to one music style”与上文的“open mind”形成对比，且该选项中的“one music style”与下文的“Different music styles”和“listen to different kinds of music”相呼应，表示如果只固守一种风格，就会错过其他美妙音乐。 【38题详解】 由上文“Second, learn some basic knowledge about music. (第二，学习一些关于音乐的基本知识。)”以及下文“such as the instruments used, the composer’s background and the story behind the music (例如使用的乐器、作曲家的背景以及音乐背后的故事)”可知，本空要说了解音乐的基本信息是有帮助的，E选项“Knowing some basic facts about a piece of music is helpful (了解一首音乐的一些基本事实是有帮助的)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“basic facts”指代上文的“basic knowledge”，且该选项中的“helpful”引出下文的具体例子说明如何有帮助，表示了解音乐基本信息有助于更好理解音乐。 【39题详解】 由上文“Third, listen to music in a quiet place. (第三，在安静的地方听音乐。)”以及下文“it’s hard to focus on the music and feel its beauty (很难专注于音乐并感受它的美)”可知，本空要说如果在嘈杂拥挤的地方会怎样，B选项“If you are in a noisy and crowded place (如果你在一个嘈杂拥挤的地方)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“noisy and crowded place”与上文的“quiet place”形成对比，且该选项中的条件假设与下文的“hard to focus”构成因果关系，表示环境嘈杂则无法专注欣赏音乐之美。 【40题详解】 由上文“Finally, share music with others. (最后，与他人分享音乐。)”以及下文“and it will make your happiness double (这会让你的快乐加倍)”可知，本空要说分享音乐也能让别人开心，G选项“Sharing your favorite music with others can make them happy too (与他人分享你最喜欢的音乐也能让他们开心)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Sharing your favorite music with others”指代上文的“share music with others”，且该选项中的“make them happy too”与下文的“make your happiness double”相呼应，表示分享音乐能让双方都快乐，快乐因此加倍。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One day after snowing, Paul’s mother advised him to play outside.

He graduated from high school during the Depression and worked for a large company. He enlisted (入伍) in 1941, served in the Pacific and Europe. On returning, he met my mother, married and had three children. Because of the job, he needed to continue his education. With his full-time job and attending to his family, he attended college in the evening and obtained his degree. As kids, we knew what Dad told us. During cold winters he sympathized with unfortunate kids in just T-shirt and shorts. He was saddened by children with nothing under the Christmas tree. He loved kids and schools and he wanted to spread kindness to everyone in need of help, so he was always ready to give a hand to people he met. With us three kids on our own. Dad and Mom retired and came to Florida. Two years later Mom died, in 1980. From that time. Dad got into the habit of walking around his house. He also tried golf but failed to become addicted to it. Although it was hard time for Dad, he didn't give up the hope of life. He decided to do something meaningful to society. Then he saw an ad requesting literacy (读写能力) volunteers. Dad helped some children, who were homeless learn to read and write. He also helped an old man learn to read because his literate wife was going blind. He told us he even wanted to be a teacher to help more people. As time passed, Dad had some health problems. His legs became weak and he started to have trouble in sleeping.

As a result, all the students like getting along with him. One year later, something surprising happened. Dad's physical condition turned better. He explained to me that the students kept him healthy. He said every time he stayed with the children, he moved and smiled a lot, which made him feel energetic and happy.

Little did I know that this short stay would open my eyes to a world of diverse cultures and leave me with memories that would last a lifetime. The town was preparing for a famous local festival called Holi when I arrived. People were busy buying colored powders, preparing traditional sweets, and decorating the streets. Holi is a festival of colors, joy, and love. It celebrates the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil. On the day of the festival, I woke up early to the sound of music and laughter. When I stepped outside, the whole town seemed to be in a frenzy of celebration. People of all ages were running around, throwing colored powders at each other. At first, I was a bit hesitant to join in, as I wasn’t familiar with the customs. But a kind-hearted local girl named Priya came up to me, took my hand, and pulled me into the crowd. She taught me how to play Holi safely and explained the meaning behind every tradition. As the day went on, I found myself covered from head to toe in bright colors. I was laughing and playing with people I had just met, forgetting all about the cultural differences that initially made me feel nervous. We shared stories about our countries, our families, and our dreams. I learned about Indian history, their unique art forms, and their deep-rooted values. In return, I told them about my hometown, the festivals we celebrate, and the food we love. One of the most memorable moments was when we all sat together in the evening, sharing traditional Indian food. The spices, the flavors, and the way the food was prepared were so different from what I was used to, but I loved every bite of it. Through this experience, I realized that cultural differences are not barriers but bridges that connect us. They make the world a more interesting and beautiful place. When I left India, I carried with me not only colorful memories but also a newfound appreciation for the diversity of cultures around the world. 24. Why was the author sent to India? A. To celebrate Holi with family. B. To study Indian history. C. To learn Indian art forms. D. To take part in an exchange program. 25. The underlined word “frenzy” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______ A. calm state B. wild excitement C. low movement D. quiet atmosphere 26. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author didn’t enjoy the Indian food. B. Holi is only celebrated by young people in India. C. The author was afraid of the local people at first. D. The author’s attitude towards cultural differences changed after the experience. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce the festival of Holi in India. B. To show the author’s love for Indian art forms. C. To describe the traditional Indian food. D. To tell the story of the author’s experience in India and the understanding of cultural diversity.

Growing up she had learned that the way to receive recognition and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was heart-broken,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.” Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism (完美主义) is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia. Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in after-school activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also increase unhealthy comparisons. “It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as standards that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to be as good as others,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with other people, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives. Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. She said, “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!” 32. How did Hailey Magee feel when she got an A-minus? A. Satisfied. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested. 33. Perfectionism may result in the following problems EXCEPT _________. A. negative feelings B. high work efficiency C. increased stress levels D. physical problems 34. What does the underlined phrase “a sense of competitiveness” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A strong wish to be better than others. B. A great pressure to get perfect grades. C. A feeling of being judged on social media. D. A belief that top schools are the most important. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Parental Pressure: The Root of All Student Anxiety B. Hailey Magee’s Story: From Straight A’s to Failure C. The Role of Social Media in Creating Feelings of Imperfection D. The Dangers of Perfectionism and the Road to Self-Acceptance 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Appreciate Music Better Music is an important part of our life, and it can bring us happiness, calm and inspiration. ____36____, many people don’t know how to appreciate music better.
