第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50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
When starting college, most students enjoy a week’s stay on campus before classes actually begin. What should you do with that time? Below are several tips to ease yourself into college life.
Participating in Campus Welcome Activities
Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins, including freshmen orientations (迎新会), campus picnics, concerts and other entertainment.
Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture: What do students do for fun? What are their favorite classes? What is the history of your university? It can help you experience campus life outside the classroom.
Exploring Campus
Getting to know where essential campus resources are — such as the student advising center, psychological services, and the tutoring center — will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier, because you won’t have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.
Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held. This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes, and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place. If you’re worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings, a quick test run won’t hurt. That way, you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.
Starting a Routine
Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week, remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up. Starting classes means being in different places at different times, so it’s a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.
What helps you most is to schedule your sleep. Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.
If you have other daily routines, such as exercising or talking on the phone with family, work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.
1. Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings?
A. To help those getting lost on campus. B. To avoid being late for the future classes.
C. To see how many facilities they can use. D. To practice running on their way to class.
2. What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class?
A. Take physical exercise before class. B. Leave their phones powered off.
C. Take early classes every day. D. Keep to the sleep schedule.
3. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To help freshmen organize campus activities.
B. To share his college experience with the reader.
C. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.
D. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.
B
The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an extremely strict physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university.
The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.
I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed (牺牲) her own career and life for my opportunities and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began, “eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.”
“Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued, “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping burgers, so be it.”
Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break.
Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.
4. Why does the author mention her experiences in paragraph 1?
A. To prove the difficulty of IB programs.
B. To highlight her great academic pressure.
C. To show the necessity of a good university.
D. To complain about her strict teacher and father.
5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Cause. B. Symbol. C. Solution. D. Foundation.
6. From the author’s rubber band metaphor, we can infer that ________.
A. flexibility is her most valued quality
B. timely relaxation is essential to avoid breaking
C. constant stretching leads to better performance
D. success requires working under extreme pressure
7. What gives the author the courage to “reach for the moon” without fear?
A. Her mastery of effective learning methods.
B. Her final acceptance of her academic talent.
C. Her mother’s unconditional love and support.
D. Her realization of the importance of a flexible schedule.
C
Imagine it’s Saturday morning. You’re relaxing when your best friend texts, “Could you help me move today?” You sigh — there go your weekend plans — but reply, “Of course.” A week later, a coworker you barely know asks for a hand. This time, you hesitate. Psychologists call this tendency “social discounting”: our generosity declines as social distance increases.
But what happens in the brain during these decisions? A small region called the basolateral amygdala (BLA) plays a key role. It helps us balance self-interest with social intentions by assigning value to both our own well-being and that of others.
To test this, researchers studied individuals in South Africa with Urbach-Wiethe disease, a rare genetic condition that damages the BLA. They compared five women with this disease to 16 healthy participants in a social discounting task. Each person listed eight people, ranging from their closest friend to a complete stranger, and decided how much money to share with each.
As expected, all participants gave more to close contacts. Interestingly, those with BLA damage were less generous overall, and their generosity decreased more sharply as social distance increased. These differences could not be explained by personality or empathy levels.
The findings suggest the BLA helps people create a “model” of the social world to guide decision-making. An unharmed BLA allows us to consider social context and rules when deciding whether to be generous. Without it, individuals may rely on a “standard” strategy, unless the receiver is emotionally very close, in which case helping remains automatic.
Generosity is therefore not an all-or-nothing trait; it is a model-based social behavior, shaped by how close we feel to the receiver of help. And deep in the brain, the basolateral amygdala is helping us do that calculation.
8. Why does the author describe the “moving-day dilemma” in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate how social discounting works.
B. To argue people should treat others equally.
C. To show generosity is mainly driven by emotions.
D. To suggest a conflict between self and others’ interest.
9. What do researchers try to show by comparing the two groups?
A. The risk of the Urbach-Wiethe disease.
B. The BLA’s role in social decision-making.
C. The difference in participants’ social network.
D. The personality’s influence on social discounting.
10. What can be inferred from the findings in social decision-making?
A. People with Urbach-Wiethe are more generous.
B. BLA damage leads to complete loss of generosity.
C. BLA allows individuals to weigh social information.
D. Personality can potentially affect BLA-harmed people.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Brain’s Role: How We Balance Choices.
B. The BLA: A Hidden Guide to Social Behavior.
C. Social Discounting: Why We Help Our Friends.
D. Urbach-Wiethe Disease: A Rare Genetic Condition.
D
Contextualism (语境主义) has a long history in historiography (历史编纂学), dating back to the work of historians such as Leopold von Ranke in the 19th century. His emphasis on understanding historical events as they actually were laid the groundwork for the development of contextualist approaches to historical interpretation. In the 20th century, historians such as Skinner and Pocock further developed contextualist approaches, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical texts and events within their specific linguistic (语言的) and cultural contexts.
A contextualist approach to historical interpretation requires a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and time context in which historical events occurred. This involves considering factors such as the cultural standards and values of the time, the social structures and institutions that shaped historical events, and the time context, including the specific historical period and any relevant events or trends.
One of the key challenges of historical interpretation is avoiding anachronism (时代错位). Anachronism involves putting modern concepts, values, or beliefs onto historical figures or events. A contextualist approach helps historians avoid these errors by emphasizing the importance of understanding historical events within their specific context. For example, it would be anachronistic to put modern ideas of human rights onto historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves yet became the leading author of the United States Declaration of Independence. Instead, historians must consider Jefferson’s actions within the context of his time, taking into account the popular attitudes towards slavery and human rights.
While contextualism is a powerful approach to historical interpretation, it is not without its challenges and limitations. Some of the key challenges include: the complexity of reconstructing historical context, which can be incomplete; the risk of cultural and historical relativism (相对主义), which can make it difficult to evaluate certain historical events critically; the challenge of balancing contextual understanding with the need to draw broader conclusions and lessons from historical events.
12. What did Skinner and Pocock contribute to contextualism?
A. They advanced its means. B. They stressed its objectives.
C. They explained its necessity. D. They clarified its definition.
13. Which factor may belong to the “social context” mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Common values and opinions. B. Special customs and styles.
C. Strict laws and regulations. D. Linguistic symbols and habits.
14. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Jefferson ignored human rights. B. Causes behind actions were key.
C. Jefferson was a virtuous leader. D. Subjectivity was uneasy to resist.
15. Why is contextualism an imperfect approach?
A. It may reach a narrow conclusion. B. It may deal with second-hand records.
C. It digs into some pointless elements. D. It avoids making objective judgments.
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。
Elevators can trick your sense of gravity. Your actual weight doesn’t change, yet the number on the scale tells a different story. When the elevator starts going up, the number jumps. When it stops, the number falls. Going down does the opposite. ____16____
The answer lies in how physicists define “weight.” Your mass remains constant. Gravity near Earth’s surface stays essentially unchanged. ____17____ That upward push — called the normal force — is what a scale actually measures.
This distinction reveals something surprising: you cannot feel gravity. Astronauts aboard the space station prove this. Earth’s gravity up there is still about 90% as strong as at the surface. ____18____ This is because they are falling together with the station at the same rate, so the floor never pushes up on them. Without that supporting force, they experience the sensation of weightlessness.
An elevator briefly changes how hard the floor pushes back. When it starts rising, it must accelerate (加速) you upward. The floor pushes harder than normal. ____19____ That extra push might add about 10% to the scale reading. Once the elevator reaches a steady speed, acceleration stops and the reading returns to normal. When it slows at the top, the opposite happens — the floor pushes less, so you feel lighter. The same pattern plays out on the way down.
____20____ It connects to one of Einstein’s most important ideas. He realized that gravity and acceleration are fundamentally linked — an insight that helped him develop general relativity.
A. But they feel weightless.
B. For a second, you feel heavier.
C. Still, is this effect permanent, or just a feeling?
D. This everyday experience turns out to be profound.
E. What changes is how hard the floor pushes upward.
F. That is because the scale reading jumps when you go up.
G. So why do you feel heavier or lighter at certain moments?

Participating in Campus Welcome Activities
Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins, including freshmen orientations (迎新会), campus picnics, concerts and other entertainment.
Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture: What do students do for fun? What are their favorite classes? What is the history of your university? It can help you experience campus life outside the classroom.
Exploring Campus
Getting to know where essential campus resources are — such as the student advising center, psychological services, and the tutoring center — will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier, because you won’t have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.
Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held. This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes, and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place. If you’re worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings, a quick test run won’t hurt. That way, you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.
Starting a Routine
Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week, remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up. Starting classes means being in different places at different times, so it’s a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.
What helps you most is to schedule your sleep. Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.
If you have other daily routines, such as exercising or talking on the phone with family, work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.
1. Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings?
A. To help those getting lost on campus. B. To avoid being late for the future classes.
C. To see how many facilities they can use. D. To practice running on their way to class.
2. What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class?
A. Take physical exercise before class. B. Leave their phones powered off.
C. Take early classes every day. D. Keep to the sleep schedule.
3. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To help freshmen organize campus activities.
B. To share his college experience with the reader.
C. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.
D. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.

B
The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an extremely strict physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university.
The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.
I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed (牺牲) her own career and life for my opportunities and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began, “eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.”
“Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued, “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping burgers, so be it.”
Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break.
Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.
4. Why does the author mention her experiences in paragraph 1?
A. To prove the difficulty of IB programs.
B. To highlight her great academic pressure.
C. To show the necessity of a good university.
D. To complain about her strict teacher and father.
5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Cause. B. Symbol. C. Solution. D. Foundation.
6. From the author’s rubber band metaphor, we can infer that ________.
A. flexibility is her most valued quality
B. timely relaxation is essential to avoid breaking
C. constant stretching leads to better performance
D. success requires working under extreme pressure
7. What gives the author the courage to “reach for the moon” without fear?
A. Her mastery of effective learning methods.
B. Her final acceptance of her academic talent.
C. Her mother’s unconditional love and support.
D. Her realization of the importance of a flexible schedule.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在IB课程、SAT考试和课外活动等多重压力下崩溃,母亲的开导让她重新找回勇气和希望的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an extremely strict physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was multiplied at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. (国际文凭课程严苛的要求,在开学第三天,就因一堂极其严格的物理实验课而成为我的现实。老师断言没有人能拿到90分以上的成绩,这动摇了我的信心。回到家,父亲对我停滞不前的SAT成绩(进入名牌大学的必要条件)表示担忧,更加剧了我的焦虑)”可知,作者提到这些经历是为了突出她巨大的学业压力。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. (我崩溃的最终catalyst是来自地区红十字青年委员会的一次意外的拒绝)”和“The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dark, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(红十字会是我的热情所在,也是我赖以区别于其他申请者的支柱。这次拒绝让我的未来一片黯淡,我就像一根被拉伸到极限的橡皮筋一样,彻底崩溃了)”可知,因为被红十字青年委员会拒绝,作者彻底崩溃了,说明“被拒绝”是作者崩溃的“诱因”,划线词与“Cause”同义。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. (我意识到橡皮筋不必一直拉伸。白天缠在头发上、晚上被允许放在床头柜上休息的橡皮筋永远不会断裂)”可推知,橡皮筋需要适当放松,人也是如此,适时放松对于避免崩溃是必要的。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The fear of failure lost its power, I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.(对失败的恐惧失去了它的力量。我仍在追寻月亮,但我不再害怕。因为我知道,如果我没能触及,我会正好落在母亲的怀里)”可知,母亲无条件的爱和支持给了作者无畏追求的勇气。
C
Imagine it’s Saturday morning. You’re relaxing when your best friend texts, “Could you help me move today?” You sigh — there go your weekend plans — but reply, “Of course.” A week later, a coworker you barely know asks for a hand. This time, you hesitate. Psychologists call this tendency “social discounting”: our generosity declines as social distance increases.
But what happens in the brain during these decisions? A small region called the basolateral amygdala (BLA) plays a key role. It helps us balance self-interest with social intentions by assigning value to both our own well-being and that of others.
To test this, researchers studied individuals in South Africa with Urbach-Wiethe disease, a rare genetic condition that damages the BLA. They compared five women with this disease to 16 healthy participants in a social discounting task. Each person listed eight people, ranging from their closest friend to a complete stranger, and decided how much money to share with each.
As expected, all participants gave more to close contacts. Interestingly, those with BLA damage were less generous overall, and their generosity decreased more sharply as social distance increased. These differences could not be explained by personality or empathy levels.
The findings suggest the BLA helps people create a “model” of the social world to guide decision-making. An unharmed BLA allows us to consider social context and rules when deciding whether to be generous. Without it, individuals may rely on a “standard” strategy, unless the receiver is emotionally very close, in which case helping remains automatic.
Generosity is therefore not an all-or-nothing trait; it is a model-based social behavior, shaped by how close we feel to the receiver of help. And deep in the brain, the basolateral amygdala is helping us do that calculation.
8. Why does the author describe the “moving-day dilemma” in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate how social discounting works.
B. To argue people should treat others equally.
C. To show generosity is mainly driven by emotions.
D. To suggest a conflict between self and others’ interest.
9. What do researchers try to show by comparing the two groups?
A. The risk of the Urbach-Wiethe disease.
B. The BLA’s role in social decision-making.
C. The difference in participants’ social network.
D. The personality’s influence on social discounting.
10. What can be inferred from the findings in social decision-making?
A. People with Urbach-Wiethe are more generous.
B. BLA damage leads to complete loss of generosity.
C. BLA allows individuals to weigh social information.
D. Personality can potentially affect BLA-harmed people.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Brain’s Role: How We Balance Choices.
B. The BLA: A Hidden Guide to Social Behavior.
C. Social Discounting: Why We Help Our Friends.
D. Urbach-Wiethe Disease: A Rare Genetic Condition.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了大脑中基底外侧杏仁核(BLA)在社交决策中的作用,揭示了BLA如何帮助人们根据社交距离调整慷慨程度。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You sigh — there go your weekend plans — but reply, “Of course.” A week later, a coworker you barely know asks for a hand. This time, you hesitate. Psychologists call this tendency “social discounting”: our generosity declines as social distance increases. (你叹了口气——周末计划泡汤了——但还是回复:“当然可以。”一周后,一个你几乎不认识的同事请求帮忙。这一次,你犹豫了。心理学家将这种倾向称为“社交贴现”:我们的慷慨程度随着社交距离的增加而下降。)”可知,作者通过描述“搬家日困境”这一日常场景,引出了“社交贴现”这一心理学概念,是用具体事例说明其含义,第一段的作用是为了说明社交贴现是如何运作的。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But what happens in the brain during these decisions? A small region called the basolateral amygdala (BLA) plays a key role. (但在这些决策过程中,大脑中发生了什么?一个叫做基底外侧杏仁核的小区域起着关键作用。)”以及第三段“To test this, researchers studied individuals in South Africa with Urbach-Wiethe disease, a rare genetic condition that damages the BLA. They compared five women with this disease to 16 healthy participants in a social discounting task. (为了验证这一点,研究人员研究了南非患有类脂蛋白沉积症的个体,这是一种罕见的遗传病,会损伤BLA。他们在一项社交贴现任务中,将患有这种疾病的5名女性与16名健康参与者进行了比较。)”可知,研究人员通过比较BLA受损患者与健康参与者,目的是测试BLA在社交决策中的作用。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The findings suggest the BLA helps people create a “model” of the social world to guide decision-making. An unharmed BLA allows us to consider social context and rules when deciding whether to be generous. (研究结果表明,BLA帮助人们创建一个社交世界的“模型”来指导决策。未受损的BLA使我们在决定是否慷慨时能够考虑社交情境和规则。)”可知,BLA使个体能够根据社交情境和规则调整决策,即权衡社交信息。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇引入“社交贴现”概念,第二段提出问题“大脑中发生了什么”并指出BLA起关键作用,第三段和第四段通过对比实验证明BLA受损影响慷慨程度,第五段解释BLA的功能,它能帮助创建社交世界模型以指导决策,最后一段总结慷慨是基于模型的社交行为,而BLA帮助进行计算。全文围绕BLA在社交决策中的作用展开,核心是揭示BLA如何指导社交行为。B选项“BLA:社交行为的隐性指南”准确概括了文章主旨。
D
Contextualism (语境主义) has a long history in historiography (历史编纂学), dating back to the work of historians such as Leopold von Ranke in the 19th century. His emphasis on understanding historical events as they actually were laid the groundwork for the development of contextualist approaches to historical interpretation. In the 20th century, historians such as Skinner and Pocock further developed contextualist approaches, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical texts and events within their specific linguistic (语言的) and cultural contexts.
A contextualist approach to historical interpretation requires a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and time context in which historical events occurred. This involves considering factors such as the cultural standards and values of the time, the social structures and institutions that shaped historical events, and the time context, including the specific historical period and any relevant events or trends.
One of the key challenges of historical interpretation is avoiding anachronism (时代错位). Anachronism involves putting modern concepts, values, or beliefs onto historical figures or events. A contextualist approach helps historians avoid these errors by emphasizing the importance of understanding historical events within their specific context. For example, it would be anachronistic to put modern ideas of human rights onto historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves yet became the leading author of the United States Declaration of Independence. Instead, historians must consider Jefferson’s actions within the context of his time, taking into account the popular attitudes towards slavery and human rights.
While contextualism is a powerful approach to historical interpretation, it is not without its challenges and limitations. Some of the key challenges include: the complexity of reconstructing historical context, which can be incomplete; the risk of cultural and historical relativism (相对主义), which can make it difficult to evaluate certain historical events critically; the challenge of balancing contextual understanding with the need to draw broader conclusions and lessons from historical events.
12. What did Skinner and Pocock contribute to contextualism?
A. They advanced its means. B. They stressed its objectives.
C. They explained its necessity. D. They clarified its definition.
13. Which factor may belong to the “social context” mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Common values and opinions. B. Special customs and styles.
C. Strict laws and regulations. D. Linguistic symbols and habits.
14. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Jefferson ignored human rights. B. Causes behind actions were key.
C. Jefferson was a virtuous leader. D. Subjectivity was uneasy to resist.
15. Why is contextualism an imperfect approach?
A. It may reach a narrow conclusion. B. It may deal with second-hand records.
C. It digs into some pointless elements. D. It avoids making objective judgments.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了历史研究中语境主义的发展历程、核心要素及其面临的挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the 20th century, historians such as Skinner and Pocock further developed contextualist approaches, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical texts and events within their specific linguistic (语言的) and cultural contexts. (语言的) and cultural contexts.(在20世纪,诸如斯金纳和波考克等历史学家进一步发展了语境主义研究方法,强调在特定语言与文化背景下理解历史文本及事件的重要性)”可知,这两位历史学家推进了语境主义的研究手段或方法。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A contextualist approach to historical interpretation requires a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and time context in which historical events occurred. This involves considering factors such as the cultural standards and values of the time, the social structures and institutions that shaped historical events.(语境主义的历史阐释方法要求深入理解历史事件所处的文化、社会和时代背景,这需要考虑当时的文化标准与价值观、塑造历史事件的社会结构与制度等因素)”可知,法律法规属于社会制度,而社会制度属于社会背景,即法律法规归属社会背景。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Instead, historians must consider Jefferson’s actions within the context of his time, taking into account the popular attitudes towards slavery and human rights.(相反,历史学家必须在杰斐逊所处的时代背景下考虑他的行为,考虑到当时流行的对奴隶制和人权的态度)”可知,作者强调理解历史人物行为背后的时代原因至关重要。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Some of the key challenges include: the complexity of reconstructing historical context, which can be incomplete; the risk of cultural and historical relativism (相对主义), which can make it difficult to evaluate certain historical events critically; the challenge of balancing contextual understanding with the need to draw broader conclusions and lessons from historical events.(一些主要挑战包括:重建历史语境的复杂性,这种重建可能是不完整的;文化和历史相对主义的风险,这可能使人们难以对某些历史事件进行批判性评价;以及在语境理解与从历史事件中得出更广泛结论和教训的需求之间取得平衡的挑战)”可知,语境主义的缺陷在于可能导致相对主义,从而避免做出客观的判断。
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。
Elevators can trick your sense of gravity. Your actual weight doesn’t change, yet the number on the scale tells a different story. When the elevator starts going up, the number jumps. When it stops, the number falls. Going down does the opposite. ____16____
The answer lies in how physicists define “weight.” Your mass remains constant. Gravity near Earth’s surface stays essentially unchanged. ____17____ That upward push — called the normal force — is what a scale actually measures.
This distinction reveals something surprising: you cannot feel gravity. Astronauts aboard the space station prove this. Earth’s gravity up there is still about 90% as strong as at the surface. ____18____ This is because they are falling together with the station at the same rate, so the floor never pushes up on them. Without that supporting force, they experience the sensation of weightlessness.
An elevator briefly changes how hard the floor pushes back. When it starts rising, it must accelerate (加速) you upward. The floor pushes harder than normal. ____19____ That extra push might add about 10% to the scale reading. Once the elevator reaches a steady speed, acceleration stops and the reading returns to normal. When it slows at the top, the opposite happens — the floor pushes less, so you feel lighter. The same pattern plays out on the way down.
____20____ It connects to one of Einstein’s most important ideas. He realized that gravity and acceleration are fundamentally linked — an insight that helped him develop general relativity.
A. But they feel weightless.
B. For a second, you feel heavier.
C. Still, is this effect permanent, or just a feeling?
D. This everyday experience turns out to be profound.
E. What changes is how hard the floor pushes upward.
F. That is because the scale reading jumps when you go up.
G. So why do you feel heavier or lighter at certain moments?
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。电梯升降会改变体重秤读数,使人体感轻重变化,根源是地板支持力的改变,失重也源于此,这一日常现象还关联着重要物理理论。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Elevators can trick your sense of gravity. Your actual weight doesn’t change, yet the number on the scale tells a different story. When the elevator starts going up, the number jumps. When it stops, the number falls. Going down does the opposite.(电梯会扰乱你的重力感知。你的实际体重并未改变,但秤上的数字却会呈现出不同的情况。电梯上升时,数字会上升;电梯停止时,数字会下降。电梯下降时则正好相反)”可知,前文讲述电梯升降时体重秤数值会发生变化,上升数值变大、下降数值变小;结合第二段开头“The answer lies in...(答案在于……)”可知空格处提出对应问题。故G选项“那么为什么你会在某些时刻感觉更重或更轻呢?”承上启下,衔接现象与答案。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The answer lies in how physicists define “weight.” Your mass remains constant. Gravity near Earth’s surface stays essentially unchanged.(答案在于物理学家是如何定义“重量”的的。你的质量是恒定不变的。在地球表面附近的重力基本上也是不变的)”以及后文“That upward push — called the normal force — is what a scale actually measures.(这种向上的推力——即所谓的“支持力”——正是秤所测量的力)”可知,空前说明人的质量、地球表面支持力基本不变;空后介绍向上的推力(支持力)才是体重秤测量的东西。故E选项“发生变化的是地板向上的推力大小”承接前文不变的因素,引出变化的核心要素。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Astronauts aboard the space station prove this. Earth’s gravity up there is still about 90% as strong as at the surface.(空间站上的宇航员们证明了这一点。在那里,地球的引力仍然大约是地球表面引力的90%)”以及后文“This is because they are falling together with the station at the same rate, so the floor never pushes up on them. Without that supporting force, they experience the sensation of weightlessness.(这是因为他们与空间站一同以相同的速率下降,所以地板不会对他们产生向上的推力。没有这种支撑力,他们就会感受到失重的感觉)”可知,前文指出空间站上的重力依旧是地表的90%;后文解释失重的原因。故A选项“但他们却感觉失重”形成转折,符合语境逻辑。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“An elevator briefly changes how hard the floor pushes back. When it starts rising, it must accelerate (加速) you upward. The floor pushes harder than normal.(电梯会暂时改变地板向你反推的力量大小。当电梯开始上升时,它必须让你向上加速。地板的支持力比平时更大了)”以及后文“That extra push might add about 10% to the scale reading. Once the elevator reaches a steady speed, acceleration stops and the reading returns to normal. When it slows at the top, the opposite happens — the floor pushes less, so you feel lighter. The same pattern plays out on the way down.(这种额外的推力可能会使测量值增加约10%。当电梯达到稳定速度后,加速度就会停止,测量值也会恢复正常。当电梯在顶部减速时,情况则相反——楼层的推力变小,所以你会感觉更轻。在下降的过程中,同样的规律也会发生)”可知,前文提到电梯上升加速时,地板的推力比正常更大;后文说明额外推力会让秤的数值增加。故B选项“一瞬间,你会感觉更重”承接推力变大带来的身体感受。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据后文“It connects to one of Einstein’s most important ideas. He realized that gravity and acceleration are fundamentally linked — an insight that helped him develop general relativity.(这与爱因斯坦的一个最为重要的理论紧密相关。他认识到引力与加速度之间存在着本质上的联系——这一见解帮助他创立了广义相对论)”可知,后文讲述这一现象和爱因斯坦的重要理论、广义相对论相关,升华内容。故D选项“这种日常体验其实意义深远”总起本段,衔接日常现象与深奥物理理论。故选D。
第三部分 语言运用(共四节,满分55分)

1.你的观点;

注意:
1.词数100左右;

Is visiting museums online a good or bad idea?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Is visiting museums online a good or bad idea?
In my opinion, visiting museums online is a good idea for several reasons.
First, it breaks geographical and financial barriers. A student in a remote area can freely explore world-famous museums, which promotes educational equality. Second, virtual tours offer unique advantages, such as zooming in on detailed brushstrokes and accessing clear audio guides, sometimes offering a deeper understanding than crowded physical visits.
However, online viewing cannot replace the authentic experience of seeing artifacts in person. The awe of standing before a masterpiece is irreplaceable. Therefore, I believe virtual visits are a valuable supplement. They inspire curiosity and encourage more meaningful on-site exploration, making culture accessible to all.
【解析】
【导语】学校的英文校报Technology vs. Tradition专栏展开征稿,要求考生就“线上参观博物馆是好是坏”发表观点并说明理由。
【详解】1.词汇积累
障碍:barrier → obstacle
促进:promote → encourage/facilitate
独特的:unique → distinctive
有价值的:valuable → worthwhile/precious
2.句式拓展
简单句变复合句
原句:However, online viewing cannot replace the authentic experience of seeing artifacts in person.
拓展句:However, online viewing cannot replace the authentic experience of seeing artifacts in person, as it lacks the tangible connection and historical atmosphere of a real museum visit.
【点睛】[高分句型1] A student in a remote area can freely explore world-famous museums, which promotes educational equality. (运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] They inspire curiosity and encourage more meaningful on-site exploration, making culture accessible to all. (运用了现在分词作结果状语)
