If you are trying to measure an attitude, concept, or behavior, there’s a pretty good chance someone has done this before. In the course of your literature review, pay careful attention to how others are measuring the concept you want to measure. They may have already tested the reliability and validity of a measure. An identical question also makes it possible to evaluate data between different questionnaires. Keep Your Questionnaire Short. Respondents are less likely to answer a long questionnaire than a short one, and often pay less attention to questionnaires which seem long, dull, or boring. Keep Question Order in Mind. ●Start a questionnaire with an introduction. ●It’s usually best to start a survey with general questions that will be easy for a respondent to answer. ●It’s usually best to ask sensitive questions, including demographics (人口统计), near the end of the survey. ●If you are asking a series of similar questions, randomizing the order respondents hear them can improve your data. General Rules for Writing Survey Questions Avoid Vague or Imprecise Terms. Usually, it’s best to use terms that will have the same specific meaning to all respondents. ×How important is it that a candidate shares your values? √How important is it that a candidate shares your religious values? Provide Reference Frames. Make sure all respondents are answering questions about the same time and place. ×How often do you feel sad? √How often have you felt sad during the past week? Avoid Double-Barreled Questions. Questions should measure one thing. Double-barreled questions try to measure two (or more!) things. ×Do you think the president should lower taxes and spending? Avoid Leading or Biased Language. ×Do you believe the US should immediately withdraw troops from the failed war in Iraq? ×Some say that we create the best software products in the world. Do you agree? 1. What is a benefit of using questions from previous surveys? A. It helps keep the questionnaire short. B. It allows for cross-survey comparisons. C. It eliminates the need for a literature review. D. It guarantees truthful answers from respondents. 2. Which question is most likely to appear near the end of a survey? A. Where do you currently live? B. Why do you attend this workshop? C. Which brands do you currently buy from? D. What is your top priority in working with us? 3. Which rule does the question “Was the product easy to find and did you buy it?” fail to follow? A. Provide Reference Frames. B. Avoid Vague or Imprecise Terms. C. Avoid Double-Barreled Questions. D. Avoid Leading or Biased Language. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了设计调查问卷时在题目措辞、顺序安排等方面的实用指导原则。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据General Considerations部分中“An identical question also makes it possible to evaluate data between different questionnaires.(完全相同的题目也使得评估不同问卷之间的数据成为可能)”可知，使用先前调查中的问题有利于进行跨调查的对比。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Keep Question Order in Mind部分中“It’s usually best to ask sensitive questions, including demographics, near the end of the survey.(通常最好将包括人口统计在内的敏感问题放在调查接近尾声时提问)”可知，“Where do you currently live?(你目前住在哪里？)”属于人口统计类敏感问题，最可能出现在问卷末尾。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Avoid Double-Barreled Questions部分中“Questions should measure one thing. Double-barreled questions try to measure two(or more!)things.(问题应当只测量一件事。双重问题试图同时测量两件甚至更多件事)”可知，“Was the product easy to find and did you buy it?(该产品是否容易找到，并且你购买了它吗？)”同时询问了产品易找性和购买行为两件事，违反了避免双重问题的规则。 B When I was ten, I was suddenly confronted with the bitterness of moving from the only home I had ever known. My whole life, brief as it was, had been spent in that old house, gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations. On the final day, I ran to the backyard, crying and trembling. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. It was my grandfather. “How can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?” I sobbed, tears blurring my vision. Staring off into the distance, Grandpa said softly, “Goodbye is too final and cold for friends. Our numerous ways of parting have one thing in common: dolor.” He then gently led me to the front yard, where a huge red rosebush sat alone. “Billy, I planted these roses the day my first son was born,” he said, with tears welling up in his eyes and his voice becoming choked. “One day a terrible war erupted, claiming my son. He died in a village on the battlefield. I was forever heartbroken that my last word to him was goodbye.” His eyes met mine. “Don’t ever say goodbye, Billy. Don’t give in to the sadness and loneliness of that word. Remember instead the joy when you first said hello to a friend. When you and your friends must part, reach deep within you and bring back that first hello.” A year and a half later, my grandfather fell severely ill. Then the family was gathered and I returned to the old house. His eyes were closed and his breathing was slow and hard. “Hello, Grandpa,” I murmured. His eyes slowly opened. “Hello, my friend,” he said with a faint smile. Hardly had I stood by his rosebush when an uncle approached to break the news of Grandpa’s passing. Grandpa’s words were lingering in my mind. Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had meant about never saying goodbye — about refusing to give in to the sadness. 4. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The sorrow about departure. B. The comfort from grandfather. C. The friendship among neighbors. D. The memories of four generations. 5. What does the underlined word “dolor” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Peace. B. Joy. C. Loneliness. D. Sadness. 6. What caused the grandfather’s lifelong regret? A. Failing to protect his son. B. Planting the roses too late. C. Adopting a cold parting way. D. Sending his son to the battlefield. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Plant Roses for Love B. Never Say Goodbye C. Say Hello to the Future D. Forget the Bitter Memories 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者搬家时因离别倍感悲伤，祖父以亲身经历教导其不必言说再见、不向悲伤妥协，传递温暖的人生感悟。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“When I was ten, I was suddenly confronted with the bitterness of moving from the only home I had ever known. My whole life, brief as it was, had been spent in that old house, gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations. On the final day, I ran to the backyard, crying and trembling.(十岁那年，我突然要搬离这座我曾唯一熟悉的房子，满心都是苦涩。我的人生虽短暂，却全都在这栋老屋里度过，这里留存着四代人的欢笑与泪水。搬家的最后一天，我跑到后院，一边哭一边浑身发抖。)” 可知，第一段主要讲述作者搬家离别时的悲伤与不舍。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的 “Staring off into the distance, Grandpa said softly, “Goodbye is too final and cold for friends. Our numerous ways of parting have one thing in common: dolor.”(祖父望向远方轻声说道：“对于朋友而言，再见太过决绝与冰冷。我们无数的离别方式，都有一个共同点：dolor。”)”可知，前文提到“goodbye”冰冷，离别都会带来这种情绪，可推出dolor表示“悲伤”，sadness符合语境。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“One day a terrible war erupted, claiming my son. He died in a village on the battlefield. I was forever heartbroken that my last word to him was goodbye.(一场惨烈的战争爆发，夺走了我儿子的生命。他牺牲在战场的一个村庄里。我最后对他说的话是再见，这让我终生心碎。)”可知，祖父终生遗憾的原因是他用冰冷的告别方式与离世的儿子道别。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第六段中的“Don’t ever say goodbye, Billy. Don’t give in to the sadness and loneliness of that word.(永远不要说再见，比利。不要向这个词带来的悲伤和孤独屈服。)”以及文末祖父离世时作者以问好回应的情节可知，全文围绕“永不轻言再见，铭记相逢美好、拒绝向悲伤妥协”展开，“Never Say Goodbye(永不言再见)”最贴合文章主旨，适合作为标题。 C Stardust Solutions, an Israeli startup, is developing tiny particles (颗粒) which, if sprayed (喷洒) into the stratosphere (平流层) in sufficient number, might help cool the Earth. The idea of putting stuff into the stratosphere to lower temperatures is not new; it is the most discussed sunlight-blocking technology in solar geoengineering. The company’s novelty is that it claims to be developing special particles made of amorphous silica (非晶硅) and calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), which might do particularly well. Most research on geoengineering assumes that the cooling would be done by imitating the effect of volcanic eruptions: releasing a sulphur (硫)-rich chemical into the stratosphere. But there is a problem. Admittedly, the amount of sulphate that would be used would be small relative to the total industrial emissions, and it would not be concentrated close to where people live. Nevertheless, “Spraying millions of tonnes of poisonous materials above the heads of their children for decades is something people wouldn’t feel comfortable about,” said Dr Yedvab, Stardust’s boss. Amorphous silica is not in itself a health concern. But that does not mean the Stardust particles will necessarily be safer after years of weathering. “I think the work they’ve done is terrific,” says David Keith, a longtime leader in geoengineering research. “What I don’t buy is that it’s definitely safer.” One might see this as a resistance to newcomers. But there’s something deeper at play. Almost all geoengineering researchers say they conduct their work objectively, equally happy to discover good news or bad. Stardust, by contrast, is a commercial undertaking. “It’s not that there’s anything fundamentally wrong with for-profit companies,” said Dakota Gruener, leader of a solar-geoengineering research organization. “But when you have investors who are saying what we bet upon is that this will be used, it makes it hard to have that same level of objectivity.” 8. What distinguishes Stardust’s approach from previous research? A. It uses special cooling materials. B. It guarantees effective performance. C. It employs sun-blocking technology. D. It targets a different atmospheric layer. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Unsuccessful outcomes of past trials. B. Natural inspirations for the cooling effect. C. Potential harm of the mainstream method. D. Theoretical possibility of the new approach. 10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Opposition to new companies. B. Acknowledgement of Stardust’s work. C. Skepticism over safety issues. D. Anxiety about financial costs. 11. What might be a consequence of Stardust’s commercial nature according to Dakota Gruener? A. Less reliable research conclusions. B. Disturbed geoengineering markets. C. Slower technological progress. D. Decreased non-profit funding. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了以色列初创公司Stardust研发新型平流层冷却颗粒，及学界对其安全性与商业属性的质疑。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The company’s novelty is that it claims to be developing special particles made of amorphous silica and calcium carbonate, which might do particularly well.(该公司的创新之处在于，它声称正在开发由非晶硅和碳酸钙制成的特殊颗粒，其降温效果可能尤为出色)”可知，Stardust的方法区别于以往研究的地方在于使用了特殊的冷却材料。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中““Spraying millions of tonnes of poisonous materials above the heads of their children for decades is something people wouldn’t feel comfortable about,” said Dr Yedvab, Stardust’s boss.(“几十年来，在孩子们头顶喷洒数百万吨有毒物质，人们对此会感到不安，”Stardust的老板耶德瓦布博士说)”可知，本段主要阐述主流的硫酸盐喷射方法存在的潜在危害。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But that does not mean the Stardust particles will necessarily be safer after years of weathering.(但这并不意味着经过多年的风化后，Stardust的颗粒必然更安全)”以及第四段“One might see this as a resistance to newcomers. But there’s something deeper at play.(有人可能将此视为对新入局者的抵触。但背后还有更深层次的原因)”可知，画线词this指代的是前文提到的对安全性问题的怀疑。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But when you have investors who are saying what we bet upon is that this will be used, it makes it hard to have that same level of objectivity.(但当投资者表示他们的赌注在于这项技术会被投入使用，就很难保持同等程度的客观性)”可知，Dakota Gruener认为Stardust的商业属性可能导致研究客观性下降，进而造成研究结论可靠性降低。 D It may seem to go against common sense, but in a time of increased technological reliance, pursuing a liberal arts education has never been a better bet — because machines don’t actually have genuine intelligence. AI is merely an imitation of what makes us human — our unique abilities to lead, advocate, create, envision and innovate. A machine will never possess the emotional intelligence needed to manage a team, engage in intercultural communication, or resolve messy human conflicts that resist logic. Judgment, rooted in human experience, will never be AI’s strength. In response to workforce demands, our liberal arts education has become more focused on career preparation. Most liberal arts colleges now offer students much exposure to data science, technology and business concepts, in addition to more conventional liberal arts fields of study. Beyond that, a recent study by researchers at Ithaka S+R looked at the economic value of a “liberal” education as opposed to a “narrow” education. Their findings show that greater exposure to liberal arts core features, including a broad curriculum, experiential learning and engagement with diverse perspectives, is positively associated with greater academic achievement. Research also supports the view that studying the arts, humanities and social sciences has value in the marketplace. A recent study revealed that 93% of employers rate written and oral communications, critical thinking and ethical decision-making as the most essential skills in job candidates. This is exactly what a broad liberal arts education delivers. There is no one-size-fits-all education. In an AI-driven world, an education focused on gaining the knowledge and skills that are uniquely human is the best preparation for career longevity. After all, today’s cutting-edge technology may be outdated tomorrow — or performed by machines with more accuracy and efficiency than any human could ever have. But the ability to do what only humans can do is likely to be in high demand. Think of it this way: Career-ready skills will help you land a job, but only mastering the most human skills will prepare you to change the world. 12. What does the author imply about AI? A. It fails in logical thinking. B. It lacks true human nature. C. It values human experiences. D. It excels at resolving human conflicts. 13. What is the characteristic of current liberal arts education? A. Replacement of traditional courses. B. High employment rates for graduates. C. Equal emphasis on different disciplines. D. Integration of professional demands and traditions. 14. What can we learn from the studies in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Narrow education offers unclear economic returns. B. Academic success lies in experiential learning. C. Job candidates need a specialized education. D. Liberal education yields practical rewards. 15. What is the author’s advice? A. Mastering cutting-edge technological tools. B. Building irreplaceable human competence. C. Performing tasks with higher accuracy. D. Gaining extensive knowledge. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述在人工智能高速发展的时代，博雅文科教育非但没有过时，反而极具价值。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“AI is merely an imitation of what makes us human — our unique abilities to lead, advocate, create, envision and innovate.(人工智能仅仅是对人类独有特质的模仿——我们领导、倡导、创造、设想和创新的独特能力)”以及“A machine will never possess the emotional intelligence needed to manage a team, engage in intercultural communication, or resolve messy human conflicts that resist logic.(机器永远不会拥有管理团队、进行跨文化交流或解决难以用逻辑梳理的混乱人际冲突所需的情感智能)”可知，作者暗示AI缺乏真正的人性。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Most liberal arts colleges now offer students much exposure to data science, technology and business concepts, in addition to more conventional liberal arts fields of study.(如今，大多数文理学院为学生提供大量接触数据科学、技术和商业概念的机会，除此之外还有更多传统文理学习领域)”可知，当前博雅教育的特点是职业需求与传统的融合。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Their findings show that greater exposure to liberal arts core features, including a broad curriculum, experiential learning and engagement with diverse perspectives, is positively associated with greater academic achievement.(研究结果表明：更多接触博雅教育核心内容，涵盖广泛课程、实践学习、接触多元观点，与更优异的学业成绩呈正相关)”以及第四段中的“A recent study revealed that 93% of employers rate written and oral communications, critical thinking and ethical decision-making as the most essential skills in job candidates. This is exactly what a broad liberal arts education delivers.(近期一项研究显示，93% 的雇主认为书面与口头沟通能力、批判性思维以及道德决策能力是求职者最核心的必备素养，而这些恰恰是广博的人文通识教育所能培养出的能力)”可知，从研究中我们可以推断出博雅教育能够带来实际回报。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In an AI-driven world, an education focused on gaining the knowledge and skills that are uniquely human is the best preparation for career longevity.(在AI驱动的世界中，专注于获得人类独有的知识和技能的教育是职业长久发展的最佳准备)”以及“Think of it this way: Career-ready skills will help you land a job, but only mastering the most human skills will prepare you to change the world.(可以这么理解：具备就业实用技能能帮你找到一份工作，但唯有掌握那些最具人类独有特质的技能，才能让你拥有改变世界的底气)”可知，作者的建议是培养不可替代的人类能力。 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。 China’s Approach to Mental Health: Combining Tradition with Innovation Worldwide, over one billion people battle mental illnesses, mainly anxiety and depression.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了丈夫因约会时口误将糖说成盐，为维护谎言相伴四十年，临终坦言只为博妻子一笑的感人爱情故事。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：她十分出众，很多男生都在追求她，却没人留意到他。A. easy-going随和的；B. outspoken坦率的；C. outstanding出众的；D. sociable善交际的。根据后文“many guys were after her”可知，很多男生追求她，说明她足够亮眼出众。 【22题详解】 考查动词。​句意：派对结束后，他邀请她一起去喝咖啡。A. took拿走；B. joined加入；C. pressed按压；D. invited邀请。根据后文“her for coffee”可知，男方主动约女方，invite sb. for coffee为固定搭配，意为“邀请某人喝咖啡”。 【23题详解】 考查形容词。​句意：出于惊讶，但为了不显得不礼貌，她就跟着去了。A. moody情绪化的；B. conservative保守的；C. impolite不礼貌的；D. indifferent冷漠的。根据前文“So as not to appear”和后文“she went along”并结合西方礼仪，无故拒绝他人的善意邀请通常被视为不礼貌。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。​句意：喝咖啡时，他紧张得说不出话来，这让她感到很不自在。A. desperate绝望的；B. concerned担心的；C. innocent无辜的；D. uncomfortable不舒服的，不自在的。根据前文“During the coffee, he was too nervous to say anything”可知，由于男方过于紧张导致冷场，女方自然会感到尴尬和不自在。 【25题详解】 考查动词。​句意：当看到他脸红并要求往咖啡里加盐时，她惊讶地盯着他看。A. screamed尖叫；B. paused暂停；C. choked哽咽；D. stared凝视，盯着看。根据前文“Suddenly, he asked the waiter for salt to be added to his drink.”可知，面对这种奇怪的举动，她的第一反应是惊讶地注视，stare in surprise为常用搭配。 【26题详解】 考查名词。​句意：这种咸味让他想起了自己的童年和父母。A. childhood童年；B. job工作；C. school学校；D. dream梦想。根据前文“when he was a little boy”可知，他提到小时候在海边的经历，对应的回忆就是童年时光。 【27题详解】 考查动词。​句意：一个能承认自己想家的男人，一定很顾家且有责任感。A. pretend假装；B. deny否认；C. admit承认；D. declare宣布。根据前文“when he was a little boy, he lived near the sea and loved playing there; he could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. The salty taste reminded him of his ____ and his parents.”可知，男方坦白了加盐的原因是想家，直白说出自己想家的情绪，是坦诚承认内心感受的表现。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：那次谈话标志着他们爱情故事的开始。A. fruit果实；B. focus焦点；C. lesson课程；D. start开始。根据后文“of their love story”和后文“They kept dating.”可知，这次聊天之后两人互生好感，正式开启了恋爱，mark the start of意为“标志着……的开始”，符合语境。 【29题详解】 考查名词。 句意：想想看，如果不是因为那杯咸咖啡，她就错过了这次邂逅！A. direction方向；B. catch捕获物，难得的机会（此处指邂逅）；C. flavour风味；D. challenge挑战。根据后文“if not for the salty coffee!”可知，miss the catch为习语，意为“错过机会”，此处指错过这段姻缘。 【30题详解】 考查动词。​句意：每次她为他煮咖啡时，都会按照他喜欢的方式加些盐。A. sought寻求；B. made制作；C. fetched取来；D. delivered递送。根据后文“coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it”可知，make coffee为固定搭配，意为“煮咖啡”。 【31题详解】 考查名词。​句意：我一生的谎言就是关于那杯咸咖啡的。A. lie谎言；B. ambition野心；C. fault错误；D. trick诡计。根据后文“When we first dated, I was nervous and asked for salt instead of sugar.”丈夫坦白当时是要糖而非盐，可知这是他一生的谎言。 【32题详解】 考查动词短语。​句意：我太害羞了不敢要求换一杯，就硬着头皮继续喝了下去。A. moved away搬走；B. went ahead继续前行，继续做；C. got round四处走动；D. stepped aside避开。根据前文“Too shy to ask for a change”可知，他虽然加错了，但是没法改口，只能顺着自己的说法继续演下去。 【33题详解】 考查动词。​句意：我从没想过我们会如此般配。A. matched匹配；B. equipped装备；C. acquainted使熟悉；D. united联合。根据前文“She found that he met all her requirements. ”和“I never thought that we would be so well”可知，两人婚后四十年幸福生活，说明彼此十分契合，be well matched为固定搭配，意为“非常相配”。 【34题详解】 考查动词。​句意：但因为这（咸咖啡）对你意义重大，我也学会了享受它。A. worked工作；B. mattered重要，要紧；C. changed改变；D. bothered麻烦。根据后文“so much to you, I’ve learnt to enjoy it”可知，女生当年被他的“思乡”说辞深深打动，这件事在她心里分量很重，matter to sb.意为“对某人重要”，符合丈夫为了妻子的喜好而妥协的语境。 【35题详解】 考查名词。​句意：有你陪伴是我最大的幸福。A. dignity尊严；B. kindness善良；C. happiness幸福；D. responsibility责任。根据后文“Given another life, I’d still choose to be with you — even if it meant drinking salty coffee forever.”以及全文温馨的基调，陪伴是丈夫最大的快乐。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或者括号内单词的正确形式。 Many people take ___36___ for granted that they should start their exercise routines with some stretching on the spot. Most ___37___ (fit) experts now agree this kind of static stretching before exercise is not just counter-productive, but ___38___ (potential) harmful. The traditional stretch, like when people bend over to touch their toes or stretch their legs on a fence, often ___39___ (cause) the muscles to tighten rather than relax — exactly the opposite of what is needed for physical activity. Experts say it is like extending a rubber band ___40___ its limit. When people stretch to the maximum, they are more likely to pull a muscle. “We have developed this idea of static stretching at exactly the wrong time,” said Kieran O’sullivan, ___41___ exercise expert at the University of Limerick in Ireland, ___42___ has studied various types of stretching and their impact on athletes. When you stretch before exercising, your body may think it’s at risk of being overstretched. It compensates by contracting and becoming tenser. That means you aren’t able to move as fast or as freely, ___43___ (make) you more likely to get hurt. O’sullivan said stretching helps with ___44___ (flexible), but people should only do it when they aren’t about to exercise, like after a workout, ____45____ at the end of the day. 【答案】36. it 37. fitness 38. potentially 39. causes 40. to 41. an 42. who 43. making 44. flexibility 45. or 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍运动前静态拉伸不仅无效，还存在潜在危害，并解释其原理以及正确的拉伸时机。 【36题详解】 考查代词。句意：许多人理所当然地认为他们应该当场做一些拉伸来开启锻炼。此处为固定句型take it for granted that...，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为后面的that从句。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：如今大多数健身专家一致认为，这种运动前的静态拉伸不仅适得其反，还具有潜在危害。此处修饰名词experts，需用名词作定语，fit对应的名词fitness，fitness experts意为“健身专家”。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：如今大多数健身专家一致认为，这种运动前的静态拉伸不仅适得其反，还具有潜在危害。此处修饰形容词harmful，需要副词作状语，potential对应的副词是potentially。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：传统的拉伸动作，比如弯腰摸脚尖或趴在栏杆上压腿，往往会让肌肉紧绷而非放松，这与运动所需的状态完全相反。此处为句子谓语动词，句子陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语The traditional stretch为单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式causes。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：专家表示，这就好比将橡皮筋拉伸到极限。固定搭配extend...to its limit，意为“将……拉伸至极限”，所以此处为介词to。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：爱尔兰利默里克大学的运动专家基兰·奥沙利文研究过各类拉伸方式及其对运动员的影响，他表示，“我们在错误的时间养成了静态拉伸的理念。”expert为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，此处表示一位运动专家，为泛指，且expert是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。 【42题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：爱尔兰利默里克大学的运动专家基兰·奥沙利文研究过各类拉伸方式及其对运动员的影响，他表示，“我们在错误的时间养成了静态拉伸的理念。”此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词Kieran O’sullivan指人，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这意味着你的动作无法快速、灵活，会让你更容易受伤。此处为非谓语动词作结果状语，make与前面整句话之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词making。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：奥沙利文称，拉伸有助于提升柔韧性，但人们不应在即将运动时拉伸，可在运动后或一天结束时进行。介词后接名词作宾语，flexible对应的名词flexibility，意为“柔韧性”。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：奥沙利文称，拉伸有助于提升柔韧性，但人们不应在即将运动时拉伸，可在运动后或一天结束时进行。此处连接两个并列的介词短语after a workout和at the end of the day，表选择关系，用连词or。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是学生李华，了解到外教Erik对同学们在他的口语课上不愿意主动开口感到困惑，请你给他写一封邮件，内容包括：1.分析不开口的原因；2.提出改进建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Erik, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Erik, I’m writing to explain why few students speak actively in your oral class and offer some advice.

It was a soggy (湿的) April day. My university was hosting a writer’s conference. And I wasn’t a writer. Well, I wanted to be. But that desire was a tiny dream, buried under the million things that created my life. “Okay, Shawnelle,” I said to myself. “You can do this.” I’d tried to dress like a writer, even twisting my long hair into a sophisticated (精致的) knot. But I felt like a little girl playing dress up. I dress up. I was a mama of five. Maybe I should run away? But the registration fee was steep, and my friend had taken my boys for the day. I had to go in. I watched people walk into the hall with confidence. True, I was scared. But there were always words washing through my thoughts and heart —words I had to set free. I grabbed my bag, opened the door, and walked toward a new chapter. I was the proud mother of five sons. But there were times I wanted to reach out to people outside my home, to encourage and inspire others. The only thing I’d write was a yearly Christmas letter. The generous responses I received always made me feel fulfilled. Inside, the hall buzzed with excitement. I chatted with people sitting next to me. Most of them were writing novels or had publishing credentials (出版资历). I felt self-conscious, like the words “Christmas Letter” were stamped across my forehead. But when the keynote speaker spoke about the blessing of written words, something in my spirit broke free. A passion, bolder than my fear, began to pulse in my chest. Later, when we had the opportunity to spend fifteen minutes with one of the presenters, I knew I had to speak with Cecil. I sat in the meeting room, feeling my heartbeat hammer in my neck. 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。 “Did you bring anything you wrote with you?” Cecil asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I left the conference that evening armed with books, encouragement, goals, and hope. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Did you bring anything you wrote with you?” Cecil asked. I shook my head shyly and said that the only writing I had done was the yearly Christmas letters which I sent to relatives. I told him I loved pouring my true feelings into words even though I was just a mother without any publishing experience. I worried my simple daily stories were not worthy to be shown to professional writers. Cecil smiled warmly and told me that every sincere story deserved to be recorded. He advised me to keep writing whatever came to my mind and never look down on my own voice. I left the conference that evening armed with books, encouragement, goals, and hope. On the rainy drive home, I thought about the words that Cecil had shared with me. The rain tapping on the window calmed my racing thoughts and cleared all my self-doubt. I made up my mind that I would spare time each day to write down the warm little stories from my family life. I realized that it didn’t matter whether I became a famous writer; what truly counted was that my words could bring warmth to people around me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了五个孩子的母亲肖内尔一直怀揣作家梦想却因缺乏资历而自卑，在作家会议上鼓起勇气与主讲人塞西尔交流，坦诚自己仅写过圣诞信件，塞西尔鼓励她坚持书写真诚故事，令她重拾信心，决心用文字记录家庭生活的温暖，不再纠结成名与否的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写肖内尔羞涩地承认自己仅写过年度圣诞信件，坦言虽热爱写作但因缺乏出版经验而自卑，担心日常故事不够专业，塞西尔则温暖鼓励她真诚的故事值得被记录，并建议她坚持书写内心的声音。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写肖内尔冒雨驾车回家途中回味塞西尔的教诲，雨声平复了她纷乱的思绪，驱散了自我怀疑，她下定决心每日抽空记录家庭生活点滴，并领悟到写作的意义不在于成名，而在于用文字温暖身边人。 2. 续写线索：​ 羞涩坦白——坦言顾虑——获得鼓励——离会返程——雨中沉思——下定决心——领悟真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①倾诉真实的情感：pour true feelings/express genuine emotions ②下决心：make up one’s mind/be determined 情绪类 ①担心：worry/be anxious/be concerned ②轻视：look down on/think poorly of 【点睛】【高分句型1】​ I shook my head shyly and said that the only writing I had done was the yearly Christmas letters which I sent to relatives.

If you are trying to measure an attitude, concept, or behavior, there’s a pretty good chance someone has done this before. In the course of your literature review, pay careful attention to how others are measuring the concept you want to measure. They may have already tested the reliability and validity of a measure. An identical question also makes it possible to evaluate data between different questionnaires. Keep Your Questionnaire Short. Respondents are less likely to answer a long questionnaire than a short one, and often pay less attention to questionnaires which seem long, dull, or boring. Keep Question Order in Mind. ●Start a questionnaire with an introduction. ●It’s usually best to start a survey with general questions that will be easy for a respondent to answer. ●It’s usually best to ask sensitive questions, including demographics (人口统计), near the end of the survey. ●If you are asking a series of similar questions, randomizing the order respondents hear them can improve your data. General Rules for Writing Survey Questions Avoid Vague or Imprecise Terms. Usually, it’s best to use terms that will have the same specific meaning to all respondents. ×How important is it that a candidate shares your values? √How important is it that a candidate shares your religious values? Provide Reference Frames. Make sure all respondents are answering questions about the same time and place. ×How often do you feel sad? √How often have you felt sad during the past week? Avoid Double-Barreled Questions. Questions should measure one thing. Double-barreled questions try to measure two (or more!) things. ×Do you think the president should lower taxes and spending? Avoid Leading or Biased Language. ×Do you believe the US should immediately withdraw troops from the failed war in Iraq? ×Some say that we create the best software products in the world. Do you agree? 1. What is a benefit of using questions from previous surveys? A. It helps keep the questionnaire short. B. It allows for cross-survey comparisons. C. It eliminates the need for a literature review. D. It guarantees truthful answers from respondents. 2. Which question is most likely to appear near the end of a survey? A. Where do you currently live? B. Why do you attend this workshop? C. Which brands do you currently buy from? D. What is your top priority in working with us? 3. Which rule does the question “Was the product easy to find and did you buy it?” fail to follow? A. Provide Reference Frames. B. Avoid Vague or Imprecise Terms. C. Avoid Double-Barreled Questions. D. Avoid Leading or Biased Language. B When I was ten, I was suddenly confronted with the bitterness of moving from the only home I had ever known. My whole life, brief as it was, had been spent in that old house, gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations. On the final day, I ran to the backyard, crying and trembling. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. It was my grandfather. “How can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?” I sobbed, tears blurring my vision. Staring off into the distance, Grandpa said softly, “Goodbye is too final and cold for friends. Our numerous ways of parting have one thing in common: dolor.” He then gently led me to the front yard, where a huge red rosebush sat alone. “Billy, I planted these roses the day my first son was born,” he said, with tears welling up in his eyes and his voice becoming choked. “One day a terrible war erupted, claiming my son. He died in a village on the battlefield. I was forever heartbroken that my last word to him was goodbye.” His eyes met mine. “Don’t ever say goodbye, Billy. Don’t give in to the sadness and loneliness of that word. Remember instead the joy when you first said hello to a friend. When you and your friends must part, reach deep within you and bring back that first hello.” A year and a half later, my grandfather fell severely ill. Then the family was gathered and I returned to the old house. His eyes were closed and his breathing was slow and hard. “Hello, Grandpa,” I murmured. His eyes slowly opened. “Hello, my friend,” he said with a faint smile. Hardly had I stood by his rosebush when an uncle approached to break the news of Grandpa’s passing. Grandpa’s words were lingering in my mind. Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had meant about never saying goodbye — about refusing to give in to the sadness. 4. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The sorrow about departure. B. The comfort from grandfather. C. The friendship among neighbors. D. The memories of four generations. 5. What does the underlined word “dolor” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Peace. B. Joy. C. Loneliness. D. Sadness. 6. What caused the grandfather’s lifelong regret? A. Failing to protect his son. B. Planting the roses too late. C. Adopting a cold parting way. D. Sending his son to the battlefield. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Plant Roses for Love B. Never Say Goodbye C. Say Hello to the Future D. Forget the Bitter Memories C Stardust Solutions, an Israeli startup, is developing tiny particles (颗粒) which, if sprayed (喷洒) into the stratosphere (平流层) in sufficient number, might help cool the Earth. The idea of putting stuff into the stratosphere to lower temperatures is not new; it is the most discussed sunlight-blocking technology in solar geoengineering. The company’s novelty is that it claims to be developing special particles made of amorphous silica (非晶硅) and calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), which might do particularly well. Most research on geoengineering assumes that the cooling would be done by imitating the effect of volcanic eruptions: releasing a sulphur (硫)-rich chemical into the stratosphere. But there is a problem. Admittedly, the amount of sulphate that would be used would be small relative to the total industrial emissions, and it would not be concentrated close to where people live. Nevertheless, “Spraying millions of tonnes of poisonous materials above the heads of their children for decades is something people wouldn’t feel comfortable about,” said Dr Yedvab, Stardust’s boss. Amorphous silica is not in itself a health concern. But that does not mean the Stardust particles will necessarily be safer after years of weathering. “I think the work they’ve done is terrific,” says David Keith, a longtime leader in geoengineering research. “What I don’t buy is that it’s definitely safer.” One might see this as a resistance to newcomers. But there’s something deeper at play. Almost all geoengineering researchers say they conduct their work objectively, equally happy to discover good news or bad. Stardust, by contrast, is a commercial undertaking. “It’s not that there’s anything fundamentally wrong with for-profit companies,” said Dakota Gruener, leader of a solar-geoengineering research organization. “But when you have investors who are saying what we bet upon is that this will be used, it makes it hard to have that same level of objectivity.” 8. What distinguishes Stardust’s approach from previous research? A. It uses special cooling materials. B. It guarantees effective performance. C. It employs sun-blocking technology. D. It targets a different atmospheric layer. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Unsuccessful outcomes of past trials. B. Natural inspirations for the cooling effect. C. Potential harm of the mainstream method. D. Theoretical possibility of the new approach. 10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Opposition to new companies. B. Acknowledgement of Stardust’s work. C. Skepticism over safety issues. D. Anxiety about financial costs. 11. What might be a consequence of Stardust’s commercial nature according to Dakota Gruener? A. Less reliable research conclusions. B. Disturbed geoengineering markets. C. Slower technological progress. D. Decreased non-profit funding. D It may seem to go against common sense, but in a time of increased technological reliance, pursuing a liberal arts education has never been a better bet — because machines don’t actually have genuine intelligence. AI is merely an imitation of what makes us human — our unique abilities to lead, advocate, create, envision and innovate. A machine will never possess the emotional intelligence needed to manage a team, engage in intercultural communication, or resolve messy human conflicts that resist logic. Judgment, rooted in human experience, will never be AI’s strength. In response to workforce demands, our liberal arts education has become more focused on career preparation. Most liberal arts colleges now offer students much exposure to data science, technology and business concepts, in addition to more conventional liberal arts fields of study. Beyond that, a recent study by researchers at Ithaka S+R looked at the economic value of a “liberal” education as opposed to a “narrow” education. Their findings show that greater exposure to liberal arts core features, including a broad curriculum, experiential learning and engagement with diverse perspectives, is positively associated with greater academic achievement. Research also supports the view that studying the arts, humanities and social sciences has value in the marketplace. A recent study revealed that 93% of employers rate written and oral communications, critical thinking and ethical decision-making as the most essential skills in job candidates. This is exactly what a broad liberal arts education delivers. There is no one-size-fits-all education. In an AI-driven world, an education focused on gaining the knowledge and skills that are uniquely human is the best preparation for career longevity. After all, today’s cutting-edge technology may be outdated tomorrow — or performed by machines with more accuracy and efficiency than any human could ever have. But the ability to do what only humans can do is likely to be in high demand. Think of it this way: Career-ready skills will help you land a job, but only mastering the most human skills will prepare you to change the world. 12. What does the author imply about AI? A. It fails in logical thinking. B. It lacks true human nature. C. It values human experiences. D. It excels at resolving human conflicts. 13. What is the characteristic of current liberal arts education? A. Replacement of traditional courses. B. High employment rates for graduates. C. Equal emphasis on different disciplines. D.

It was a soggy (湿的) April day. My university was hosting a writer’s conference. And I wasn’t a writer. Well, I wanted to be. But that desire was a tiny dream, buried under the million things that created my life. “Okay, Shawnelle,” I said to myself. “You can do this.” I’d tried to dress like a writer, even twisting my long hair into a sophisticated (精致的) knot. But I felt like a little girl playing dress up. I dress up. I was a mama of five. Maybe I should run away? But the registration fee was steep, and my friend had taken my boys for the day. I had to go in. I watched people walk into the hall with confidence. True, I was scared. But there were always words washing through my thoughts and heart —words I had to set free. I grabbed my bag, opened the door, and walked toward a new chapter. I was the proud mother of five sons. But there were times I wanted to reach out to people outside my home, to encourage and inspire others. The only thing I’d write was a yearly Christmas letter. The generous responses I received always made me feel fulfilled. Inside, the hall buzzed with excitement. I chatted with people sitting next to me. Most of them were writing novels or had publishing credentials (出版资历). I felt self-conscious, like the words “Christmas Letter” were stamped across my forehead. But when the keynote speaker spoke about the blessing of written words, something in my spirit broke free. A passion, bolder than my fear, began to pulse in my chest. Later, when we had the opportunity to spend fifteen minutes with one of the presenters, I knew I had to speak with Cecil. I sat in the meeting room, feeling my heartbeat hammer in my neck. 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。 “Did you bring anything you wrote with you?” Cecil asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I left the conference that evening armed with books, encouragement, goals, and hope. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
