Dubai The famous building Burj Khalifa holds the record for its top height worldwide and people gather at the foot to welcome a new year with an amazing fireworks show. Not too far away, Burj Plaza is a little quieter and popular with families. Dubai is building a reputation as a major food destination, so you may wish to enjoy dining in restaurants. If you have shopping in mind, check out Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping malls. Rio de Janeiro The citizens (市民) of Rio de Janeiro know how to hold a good celebration. The main gathering at Copacabana Beach, which starts even before dark, traditionally features various musical acts and fireworks. If you want to party in classic Rio style, pay a visit to Jobi Bar, a true institution in the city. Looking for a great view? Go to the Vista Chinese, a small Chinese-style tower that offers a fantastic bird’s-eye view. Bangkok Bangkok often tops the lists of Asia’s best nightlife cities. Catch an amazing fireworks show at ICONSIAM, a major shopping and entertainment (娱乐) destination along the Chao Phraya River. If you want to escape from crowds, bright lights and noise, get some time to calm down at Wat Pho. Cape Town Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in Africa. New Year’s Eve fireworks make it more wonderful. If you’re in the mood for a party, Aztec-themed Alcazar will feature 10 hours of performances on three stages. If you’re looking for a place to dine, consider Pier, featuring a vegetarian menu. It’s on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, which is a great spot to watch the fireworks. 1. What makes Burj Khalifa stand out? A. Its traditional music shows. B. Its record-breaking height. C. Its largest shopping mall. D. Its family-friendly environment. 2. Where can you avoid the New Year’s crowd? A. At Wat Pho. B. At ICONSIAM. C. At Vista Chinese. D. At Copacabana Beach. 3. What do all four cities offer on New Year’s Eve? A. Chinese-style tower views. B. Classic Rio-style parties. C. Amazing fireworks shows. D. 10-hour stage performances. B Michael had been searching for a new job for eight months. Despite fifteen years of project management experience and a good record, every interview ended the same way: polite thanks, promised follow-up, then silence. One day, Michael walked into the reception area of a large company. The interviewer, Sarah, seemed different from the start. Instead of asking about his experience managing budgets (预算), she said, “Tell me about a project that taught you something important about yourself.” Michael felt his prepared answers escape him. For a moment, he considered launching into his usual response about successful budget management, but something stopped him. Eight months of the same polished approach, eight months of rejection. Maybe it was time to try something different. Therefore, Michael made a surprising choice: to speak from the heart-talking about his biggest failure. Then he found himself talking about the disaster that had almost ended his career five years earlier — a software implementation that had gone totally wrong. Not because of technical issues, but because he’d failed to recognize that the sales team was terrified of the new system. “I found I’d been managing the project timeline but ignoring the human timeline,” Michael heard himself concluding. “The sales team wasn’t resisting change — they were afraid of looking incompetent in front of their biggest clients during that process. I should have read what the sales team feared and helped them overcome the fear.” Three days later, Sarah called with an offer that included a 20% salary increase. “Michael,” she said, “what convinced (使信服) us wasn’t your technical experience — plenty of candidates (候选人) had that. It was how clearly you understood your own value and could explain why it mattered. We could see exactly how you’d contribute to our culture and our success.” The interview hadn’t just changed Michael’s career — it had helped him name and live his true professional philosophy: His value lies in reading what people actually need to succeed and creating the conditions for that success. 4. What was Michael’s usual interview topic? A. How he built strong teams. B. How he failed badly once. C. How he managed budgets well. D. How he fixed software bugs. 5. Why did the software project fail five years ago? A. The team refused to work together. B. He managed the project budget badly. C. The system had severe technical issues. D. He paid no attention to the team’s emotional needs. 6. What did Sarah observe about most candidates? A. They had strong technical backgrounds. B. They clearly understood their own value. C. They openly admitted past failures. D. They had similar management experience. 7. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Job hunting requires strategic changes. B. Honesty about yourself attracts real chances. C. Understanding technical details creates success. D. Decades of work speak for themselves. C How often in your busy life when faced with an issue or a problem do you consider subtraction? Do your resolutions more often start with “I should do more of...” than with “I should do less of...”? Do you add new rules in your household or workplace more often than you take rules away? In our effort to improve our lives, our work and our society, we almost always choose to add more. Every day, faced with big and small challenges, we ignore a basic way to make things better. We are great at adding to our “to dos”, but we don’t consider “stop-doings”. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t delete the old-fashioned ones. Leidy Klotz’s Lego bridge test, with two support towers of differing heights, found that almost everyone added a Lego brick to the shorter tower, rather than removing a brick from the taller tower. The effective subtraction solution produced a stronger result. Why do we ignore the option to subtract from what is already there? Why do we fail to use subtraction as a way to change things? Firstly, behavioural science suggests that our brains naturally ignore subtraction. Early studies show that our mental shortcuts have a preference for adding when solving problems. We are tricked by our mindset. Further, we have a tendency to consider addition or subtraction; however, they can be complementary (互补的) ways to make changes. So we ignore subtraction because it is often harder to think of. Moreover, even when we do manage to think of it, subtracting can be harder to perform. Subtraction is the act of getting to less but it is not the same as doing less. Getting to less often means doing, or at least thinking, more. In your pursuit of success and happiness, I encourage you to overcome the tendency to ignore subtraction. Subtraction can be joyful! 8. What’s the function of the first two paragraphs? A. To explain why addition is more effective. B. To list mistakes we make in daily life. C. To introduce the topic by asking questions. D. To question common ways of solving problems. 9. What did most participants do in the Lego bridge test? A. Removed from the taller one. B. Changed the bridge design. C. Left the towers unchanged. D. Added to the shorter tower. 10. What might explain people’s failure to consider subtraction? A. Their brains naturally prefer adding. B. Removing things requires special tools or skills. C. Most of them find addition more joyful to perform. D. Taking away is against human nature. 11. What does the author imply about subtraction in the last paragraph? A. It is actually easier than addition. B. It brings unexpected happiness. C. It simply means reducing actions. D. It requires less early thought. D Many kids start talking later than expected. Most eventually catch up with other kids their age. But some kids have language difficulties that persist. This can be a sign of a condition called developmental language disorder, or DLD. DLD is a communication disorder that persists into adulthood. It can interfere with learning, understanding, and using language. “DLD is incredibly prevalent, but many people don’t know about it,” says Dr. Mary Alt, a speech and language expert at The University of Arizona. It’s one of the most common developmental disorders. Late talking can be one of the earliest signs of DLD. Young kids with DLD may struggle with learning words. Another early sign is using simple language. By preschool, most kids start using sentences. “The sentences that a child with DLD might use are much simpler,” says Alt. Instead of “Look, the dog is running,” the child might say, “Him run.” Alt’s team tracked late-talking kids aged 2 to 3. Over one-half were later diagnosed (诊断) with a learning disability. DLD affects basic language skills, which can affect school performance. Kids with DLD may struggle to learn vocabulary or structure sentences. Signs of DLD fall along a continuum (连续统), from mild to profound. DLD is different from dyslexia, but they often go hand in hand. Dyslexia is a problem with written language. DLD is a problem with oral language. People with DLD are six times more likely to have reading and spelling disabilities. DLD can be hard to recognise, as signs aren’t the same for every child. A mild case might not affect daily conversation. But more severe DLD could mean difficulty getting basic needs met. Schools currently lack systems that assess oral language before academic impacts are noticed. Certain specialists, like speech-language pathologists (病理学家), can help. Treatments are tailored to each child. “Typically, kids learn grammar without trying. Kids with DLD aren’t always going to pick up on that naturally,” Alt explains. If you have concerns about your child’s language abilities, talk with their doctor. 12. Which behaviour is an early indicator of DLD? A. Talking less after starting preschool. B. Using shorter sentence patterns. C. Forgetting names of familiar objects. D. Avoiding communication with adults. 13. What does the underlined word “profound” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Slightly noticeable. B. Easily corrected. C. Extremely serious. D. Quite uncommon. 14. What can be inferred about current school support for DLD? A. It reacts rather than prevents. B. It confuses DLD with dyslexia. C. It waits for family complaints. D. It depends on expert recommendations. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How specialists diagnose DLD in children. B. Why DLD treatment requires family involvement. C. How DLD differs from other learning disorders. D. What can be done to address children’s DLD. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the most revolutionary technologies in recent decades, and its future development holds even more astonishing prospects.

From my perspective, money alone cannot bring true happiness and should not be regarded as its ultimate source. Firstly, money can meet basic needs, but it fails to fulfill our spiritual needs. Genuine happiness often comes from health, love, and inner peace, none of which can be purchased. Secondly, focusing only on money may increase stress rather than satisfaction. Finally, real contentment arises from meaningful experiences and personal growth, not from material possessions. In conclusion, while money is undeniably useful, it is not the source of happiness. True joy lies in the richness of our hearts. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
