The history of writing is fundamental to human civilization, yet blind people lacked access to it until the 19th century. This changed because of Louis Braille, who created a groundbreaking tactile (触觉) writing system of raised dots called braille. Despite significant opposition, his invention eventually opened a new world of learning for the blind globally.
Born in 1809 in the French village of Coupvray, Braille was blinded at age three in a terrible workshop accident. His parents, determined to support him despite widespread discrimination against the blind at the time, ensured he received an education. A local priest (牧师) taught him, and his intelligence earned him a scholarship to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris.
At the institute, Braille excelled in his studies and music. The catalyst for his invention came in 1821 with the introduction of “night writing”, a dot-based military communication code created by Charles Barbier. Recognizing its potential, Braille dedicated himself to improving this idea. By age 15, he had successfully developed his own streamlined system based on cells of six raised dots corresponding to letters of the alphabet. The students at his institute quickly adopted it for its simplicity and efficiency.
However, the system faced strong resistance from the sighted establishment. After the supportive director was replaced, the new director, Pierre Armand Dufau, banned braille, burning books and punishing students who used it. Unshaken, Braille, who became a teacher at the institute, constantly advocated for his method. Akey moment came in 1844 when the school’s new director, persuaded of braille’s value, publicly demonstrated the system, finally giving Braille the recognition he deserved.
Braille died in 1852, before his system gained worldwide adoption. It was universally accepted decades later, fundamentally changing blind education. Today, braille remains crucial, though its literacy rates face challenges from modern audio (音频) technology. Scientists emphasize that tactile reading is vital for cognitive (认知的) development, stimulating the brain’s visual processing centers. The story of Louis Braille is thus not just one of historical innovation but an ongoing fight to preserve a vital tool for independence and intelligence.
4. What do we know about Braille’s early life?
A. His parents helped him get educated. B. He was born in a British village.
C. He invented braille at age thirteen. D. A workshop accident made him deaf.
5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. A sudden accident. B. A final result. C. A key inspiration. D. A strong opposition.
6. What is Pierre-Armand Dufau’s attitude towards the braille writing system?
A. Approving. B. Cautious. C. Opposed. D. Neutral.
7. What does the text tell us about tactile reading?
A. It is replaced by audio technology. B. It benefits blind people’s brains.
C. It was for military communication. D. It was banned worldwide before 1852.
C
Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net. This trend moves away from the traditional model of a single, lifelong career.
Katelyn Cusick, 29, exemplifies this shift. Her primary role is as a visual merchandiser (营销) for Patagonia. Beyond this, she manages social media influencers for a shoe brand for several hours weekly, sells her paintings on Etsy, and helps out at local concerts. While the extra income helps her manage student loans and a high cost of living, she also values the variety, stating that doing different things every day keeps her engaged.
Economic pressures are a primary driver. As sociologist Alexandrea Ravenelle explains, flat salaries and rising living costs are forcing people to seek supplementary income. Furthermore, workplace instability and a declining trust in a single employer to provide lasting job security push others towards side job apps like Uber or Grubhub.
This approach can lead to a “portfolio career”, where individuals put together a mix of jobs that build diverse skills. For instance, Cusick’s side job helps keep her social media marketing skills current. Elaine Chen from Tufts University notes that instead of a linear career path, people are now combining side jobs based on their skills and interests to create multiple income sources.
For those considering this path, experts offer several tips. First, follow a passion, as a side project will consume significant free time. Josie White, who works full-time at a nonprofit, began unpaid public speaking about mental health, a subject she is deeply passionate about, which is now starting to lead to paid engagements. Second, be realistic about money; many part-time businesses require an initial investment and time before generating profit. White reinvested her early earnings back into skill development. Finally, understand the risks. While part-time work can provide immediate cash, Ravenelle cautions against over-reliance. The pay can be unstable, and some employers view part-time work negatively. Additionally, one must be careful of online opportunities that seem too good to be true, as many promoted“easy” business ideas are often scams (骗局).
8. What is “polyworking” according to the text?
A. Having a single lifelong career. B. Taking multiple jobs for extra income.
C. Selling paintings on Etsy platforms. D. Working full-time at Patagonia.
9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Provide a polyworking example. B. Define the concept of polyworking.
C. Explain Etsy’s painting sales rules. D. Analyze Patagonia’s marketing role.
10. What can we infer about Josie White?
A. She works part-time at a nonprofit. B. Her public speaking is always paid.
C. Passion helps her side job succeed. D. She avoids initial investment in careers.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Risks of Flexible Economy Apps B. Full-Time Pursuits: More Than Earnings
C. Portfolio Careers and Skill Building D. Polyworking: A New Career Trend
D
With the continuous growth in the world’s energy needs, integrating energy collection into building design has become a key research area. Although the price of solar power systems has dropped significantly, leading to their widespread adoption, experts are now looking for methods to enhance the use of solar energy by turning everyday building parts, such as windows, into energy-generating units. A group from Nanjing University in China has made encouraging progress in this area.
The team developed a new method that employs a special layer applied to windows to collect solar power. Unlike current solar windows, which frequently use colored materials that can darken the glass, this new approach uses a clear material known as cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). CLCs, commonly used in items like screens, have a spiral (螺旋) shape that enables them to reflect light. By putting several thin films of CLCs onto glass, the researchers created a “colorless and unidirectional solar concentrator” (CUSC). This CUSC coating guides incident sunlight to the edges of the window, where small, integrated solar cells turn it into electricity.
In a real-world trial, a small model window with five CLC layers was able to power a small 10mW fan located outdoors. The potential for this technology is considerable; calculations indicate that a standard window fitted with CUSC could collect fifty times more solar energy. This makes it particularly suitable for tall buildings in sunny regions close to the equator. The production method requires that the glass be thoroughly cleaned with high-frequency sound waves to remove dirt before the coating is applied.
Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed before it can be widely used. The research does not cover how well the coating resists bad weather conditions such as rain, ice, snow, or bird droppings. Furthermore, it is not yet known how routine window cleaning might affect the CUSC’s performance. Any additional layer could possibly reduce energy collection efficiency. Another point is the current policy in China, which now limits the building of extremely high structures — exactly the kind of buildings that could gain the most from this technology.
12. What is the core function of CUSC?
A. To darken glass with colored materials. B. To capture light through window coating.
C. To clean glass via high-frequency waves. D. To adjust glass temperature automatically.
13. What does the author want to show by mentioning the 10mW fan?
A. Fans need little solar power. B. Strong light reflection works.
C. The application of CLC layers. D. CUSC’s practical energy output.
14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. CUSC’s full adoption in urban buildings. B. China’s new policy on high-rise buildings.
C. Ways to protect CUSC from bad weather. D. Issues affecting CUSC’s popularity.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a new solar energy technology. B. To explain CLCs’ role in screen production.
C. To analyze advantages of tall building design. D. To compare CUSC with current solar windows.

Illeism: The Ancient Trick to Help You Think More Wisely
As a writer specialising in psychology, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient strategy of illeism.
Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person. ____16____ In the emperor Julius Caesar’s account of the Gallic War, for example, he wrote “Caesar avenged the public” rather than “I avenged the public”.
To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. ____17____ If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem.
____18____ This is because when making personal choices, we become too caught up in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If we have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, our feeling of embarrassment might lead us to become overly self-defensive.
By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. ____19____ By encouraging us to put our problems in perspective, the use of illeism may also help us to have a more balanced response to daily stresses.
Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I”. ____20____
A. Try this technique.
B. Politicians often use this method.
C. This creates helpful distance from emotions.
D. So why do emotions affect our decisions so much?
E. Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits.
F. However, lack of objectivity can be problematic when choosing.
G. You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes.

The joy of the night ride was the joy of feeling truly alive. ____21____ brought me back to my body, ____22____ me of the energy, blood, and bone that made me whole. It was a celebration of health, a reminder that my body still ____23____, despite two heart surgeries I had as a child that forced me to ____24____ sports. I clearly remember the doctor’s ____25____: no football, no physical education. The doctors told me I was fragile (脆弱的). They replaced sports with a mix of swing dancing and painting. However, the doctors never ____26____ cycling.
The wind, speed, and the ____27____ of my tires on a quiet street made me feel alive again. Over time, I developed a ____28____ for the night ride. Beneath the wind’s rush, I would ____29____ my heartbeat and the rhythm of my tires on the road. The physical effort, though ____30____, was nothing compared to the wind on my face. The rough road made me realize that beneath my tires, there was still a path to follow, and the ____31____ of going somewhere.
The night ride brought a sense of lightness I hadn’t ____32____ in years. After spending so much time sitting on the sofa, my ____33____ had been ruled by anxiety and fear. The world had seemed out of my control, not something I could actively ____34____. But while cycling, I could pay attention to nothing but the ride. And in that space, everything felt ____35____ once again.

The Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization had things in common with the Maya civilization, even though they were from different ____36____ (place) and times. The Shu Kingdom existed at least 4,800 years ago while the Mayan civilization ____37____ (emerge) around 200 AD.
Bronze (青铜) trees found at Sanxingdui are similar ____38____ the Ceiba tree in Maya culture, symbolizing the union of heaven (天), earth, and the underworld. Santos, a Mexican archaeologist, says this is a very important link between the two cultures.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Li Ming was a 17-year-old exchange student from China. With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure.
In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk.
Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself.
Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines.
One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed.
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。

The history of writing is fundamental to human civilization, yet blind people lacked access to it until the 19th century. This changed because of Louis Braille, who created a groundbreaking tactile (触觉) writing system of raised dots called braille. Despite significant opposition, his invention eventually opened a new world of learning for the blind globally.
Born in 1809 in the French village of Coupvray, Braille was blinded at age three in a terrible workshop accident. His parents, determined to support him despite widespread discrimination against the blind at the time, ensured he received an education. A local priest (牧师) taught him, and his intelligence earned him a scholarship to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris.
At the institute, Braille excelled in his studies and music. The catalyst for his invention came in 1821 with the introduction of “night writing”, a dot-based military communication code created by Charles Barbier. Recognizing its potential, Braille dedicated himself to improving this idea. By age 15, he had successfully developed his own streamlined system based on cells of six raised dots corresponding to letters of the alphabet. The students at his institute quickly adopted it for its simplicity and efficiency.
However, the system faced strong resistance from the sighted establishment. After the supportive director was replaced, the new director, Pierre Armand Dufau, banned braille, burning books and punishing students who used it. Unshaken, Braille, who became a teacher at the institute, constantly advocated for his method. Akey moment came in 1844 when the school’s new director, persuaded of braille’s value, publicly demonstrated the system, finally giving Braille the recognition he deserved.
Braille died in 1852, before his system gained worldwide adoption. It was universally accepted decades later, fundamentally changing blind education. Today, braille remains crucial, though its literacy rates face challenges from modern audio (音频) technology. Scientists emphasize that tactile reading is vital for cognitive (认知的) development, stimulating the brain’s visual processing centers. The story of Louis Braille is thus not just one of historical innovation but an ongoing fight to preserve a vital tool for independence and intelligence.
4. What do we know about Braille’s early life?
A. His parents helped him get educated. B. He was born in a British village.
C. He invented braille at age thirteen. D. A workshop accident made him deaf.
5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. A sudden accident. B. A final result. C. A key inspiration. D. A strong opposition.

Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net. This trend moves away from the traditional model of a single, lifelong career.
Katelyn Cusick, 29, exemplifies this shift. Her primary role is as a visual merchandiser (营销) for Patagonia. Beyond this, she manages social media influencers for a shoe brand for several hours weekly, sells her paintings on Etsy, and helps out at local concerts. While the extra income helps her manage student loans and a high cost of living, she also values the variety, stating that doing different things every day keeps her engaged.
Economic pressures are a primary driver. As sociologist Alexandrea Ravenelle explains, flat salaries and rising living costs are forcing people to seek supplementary income. Furthermore, workplace instability and a declining trust in a single employer to provide lasting job security push others towards side job apps like Uber or Grubhub.
This approach can lead to a “portfolio career”, where individuals put together a mix of jobs that build diverse skills. For instance, Cusick’s side job helps keep her social media marketing skills current. Elaine Chen from Tufts University notes that instead of a linear career path, people are now combining side jobs based on their skills and interests to create multiple income sources.
For those considering this path, experts offer several tips. First, follow a passion, as a side project will consume significant free time. Josie White, who works full-time at a nonprofit, began unpaid public speaking about mental health, a subject she is deeply passionate about, which is now starting to lead to paid engagements. Second, be realistic about money; many part-time businesses require an initial investment and time before generating profit. White reinvested her early earnings back into skill development. Finally, understand the risks. While part-time work can provide immediate cash, Ravenelle cautions against over-reliance. The pay can be unstable, and some employers view part-time work negatively. Additionally, one must be careful of online opportunities that seem too good to be true, as many promoted“easy” business ideas are often scams (骗局).
8. What is “polyworking” according to the text?
A. Having a single lifelong career. B. Taking multiple jobs for extra income.
C. Selling paintings on Etsy platforms. D. Working full-time at Patagonia.
9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Provide a polyworking example. B. Define the concept of polyworking.
C. Explain Etsy’s painting sales rules. D. Analyze Patagonia’s marketing role.
10. What can we infer about Josie White?
A. She works part-time at a nonprofit. B. Her public speaking is always paid.
C. Passion helps her side job succeed. D. She avoids initial investment in careers.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Risks of Flexible Economy Apps B. Full-Time Pursuits: More Than Earnings

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net.(面对工资冻结、持续的通货膨胀以及普遍的裁员担忧,越来越多的工人开始接受“多元工作”——从事多份工作以创造额外的收入来源并建立财务安全网)”可知,“多元工作”指的是从事多份工作以获取额外收入。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Katelyn Cusick, 29, exemplifies this shift.(29岁的凯特琳·库西克就是这种转变的一个例子)”表明,作者在这一段通过介绍凯特琳·库西克除了在巴塔哥尼亚担任视觉营销工作外,还从事管理鞋品牌社交媒体影响者、在Etsy卖画以及在当地音乐会帮忙等多项工作,为“多元工作”提供了一个具体的例子。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Josie White, who works full - time at a nonprofit, began unpaid public speaking about mental health, a subject she is deeply passionate about, which is now starting to lead to paid engagements.(乔西·怀特在一家非营利组织全职工作,她开始就心理健康这一她热衷的主题进行无偿公开演讲,现在这开始带来有报酬的活动)”可知,乔西·怀特对心理健康主题的热情促使她从无偿演讲逐渐发展到有报酬的活动,即热情帮助她的副业取得成功。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net. This trend moves away from the traditional model of a single, lifelong career.(面对薪资停滞、通胀持续以及普遍存在的裁员恐慌,越来越多的职场人开始选择多份兼职并行的工作模式,通过从事多份工作拓宽收入渠道,搭建个人财务安全防线。 这一趋势打破了从一而终、终身就职于单一岗位的传统职业模式)”可知,文章开篇提出“多元工作”这一趋势,接着通过具体例子说明,分析其产生原因,介绍带来的“组合式职业”,并为考虑此路径的人提供建议,整体围绕“多元工作”展开,所以D选项“Polyworking: A New Career Trend(多元工作:一种新的职业趋势)”最适合作为文章标题。
D
With the continuous growth in the world’s energy needs, integrating energy collection into building design has become a key research area. Although the price of solar power systems has dropped significantly, leading to their widespread adoption, experts are now looking for methods to enhance the use of solar energy by turning everyday building parts, such as windows, into energy-generating units. A group from Nanjing University in China has made encouraging progress in this area.
The team developed a new method that employs a special layer applied to windows to collect solar power. Unlike current solar windows, which frequently use colored materials that can darken the glass, this new approach uses a clear material known as cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). CLCs, commonly used in items like screens, have a spiral (螺旋) shape that enables them to reflect light. By putting several thin films of CLCs onto glass, the researchers created a “colorless and unidirectional solar concentrator” (CUSC). This CUSC coating guides incident sunlight to the edges of the window, where small, integrated solar cells turn it into electricity.
In a real-world trial, a small model window with five CLC layers was able to power a small 10mW fan located outdoors. The potential for this technology is considerable; calculations indicate that a standard window fitted with CUSC could collect fifty times more solar energy. This makes it particularly suitable for tall buildings in sunny regions close to the equator. The production method requires that the glass be thoroughly cleaned with high-frequency sound waves to remove dirt before the coating is applied.
Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed before it can be widely used. The research does not cover how well the coating resists bad weather conditions such as rain, ice, snow, or bird droppings. Furthermore, it is not yet known how routine window cleaning might affect the CUSC’s performance. Any additional layer could possibly reduce energy collection efficiency. Another point is the current policy in China, which now limits the building of extremely high structures — exactly the kind of buildings that could gain the most from this technology.
12. What is the core function of CUSC?
A. To darken glass with colored materials. B. To capture light through window coating.
C. To clean glass via high-frequency waves. D. To adjust glass temperature automatically.
13. What does the author want to show by mentioning the 10mW fan?
A. Fans need little solar power. B. Strong light reflection works.
C. The application of CLC layers. D. CUSC’s practical energy output.
14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. CUSC’s full adoption in urban buildings. B. China’s new policy on high-rise buildings.
C. Ways to protect CUSC from bad weather. D. Issues affecting CUSC’s popularity.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a new solar energy technology. B. To explain CLCs’ role in screen production.
C. To analyze advantages of tall building design. D. To compare CUSC with current solar windows.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A

Another point is the current policy in China, which now limits the building of extremely high structures — exactly the kind of buildings that could gain the most from this technology. (然而,在广泛使用之前,仍有一些挑战需要解决。这项研究没有涉及涂层在恶劣天气条件下的耐受性,如雨、冰、雪或鸟粪。此外,目前尚不清楚日常窗户清洁可能会如何影响CUSC的性能。任何额外的涂层都可能降低能源收集效率。另一点是中国目前的政策,限制了超高层建筑的建设,而这正是最能从这项技术中获益的建筑类型。)”可知,最后一段主要讨论了影响CUSC普及的几个问题。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A group from Nanjing University in China has made encouraging progress in this area. (中国南京大学的一个研究小组在这一领域取得了令人鼓舞的进展。)”以及后文对该技术的详细介绍可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一种新的太阳能技术。

Illeism: The Ancient Trick to Help You Think More Wisely
As a writer specialising in psychology, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient strategy of illeism.
Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person. ____16____ In the emperor Julius Caesar’s account of the Gallic War, for example, he wrote “Caesar avenged the public” rather than “I avenged the public”.
To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. ____17____ If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem.
____18____ This is because when making personal choices, we become too caught up in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If we have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, our feeling of embarrassment might lead us to become overly self-defensive.
By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. ____19____ By encouraging us to put our problems in perspective, the use of illeism may also help us to have a more balanced response to daily stresses.
Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I”. ____20____
A. Try this technique.
B. Politicians often use this method.
C. This creates helpful distance from emotions.
D. So why do emotions affect our decisions so much?
E. Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits.
F. However, lack of objectivity can be problematic when choosing.
G. You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了“第三人称自我指称(illeism)”这一古老策略,阐述其如何帮助人们减少情绪干扰、更明智地思考问题。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person.(简单来说,illeism是用第三人称而非第一人称谈论自己的做法)”可推知,此处需要对illeism进行举例说明。B选项“Politicians often use this method.(政客经常使用这种方法)”中的this method指代上文的illeism,且与下文凯撒的例子形成呼应。
【17题详解】
根据上文“To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. (对现代人来说,illeism听起来有点傻或自以为是)”可推知,上文提出了对illeism的负面看法,下文“If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem.(当我们试图做出艰难决定时,用第三人称谈论自己有助于减少那些可能使我们思维偏离正轨的情绪,从而帮助我们找到更明智的解决方案)”则转向其积极作用。E选项“Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits.(然而研究表明illeism能带来真正的思维益处)”用Yet转折,承上启下。
【18题详解】
根据下文“This is because when making personal choices, we become too caught up in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective.(这是因为在做个人选择时,我们太陷入情绪中,情绪模糊了我们的思维,阻止我们客观看待问题)”可推知,下文This is because(这是因为)引导原因解释,说明人做决定时容易被情绪裹挟、蒙蔽理智。D选项“So why do emotions affect our decisions so much?(那为何情绪会大幅左右我们的抉择?)”提出疑问, 引出下文对情绪干扰决策的解释。
【19题详解】
根据上文“By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves.(通过切换到第三人称,我们对情况的描述开始听起来像是在谈论别人而非自己)”可推知,此处需要说明这种切换带来的效果。C选项“This creates helpful distance from emotions.(这有助于与情绪保持适当的距离)”中的This指代上文切换到第三人称的做法,且与下文“put our problems in perspective(客观看待我们遇到的问题)”形成逻辑衔接。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I”. (下次当你遇到困难时,试着用“他”或“她”来称呼自己,而不是“我”)”可推知,此处是对读者的建议,下文应说明尝试后的效果。G选项“You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes.(你可能会惊讶于你的思维变得多么清晰)”是对尝试该技巧后积极结果的预期,作为文章结尾自然收束。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述三星堆与玛雅文明虽时空迥异,却在象征符号、气候环境及考古技术上呈现出诸多惊人共性。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:中国西南的三星堆遗址表明,古蜀文明与玛雅文明虽有地域和时代的不同,却存在共通之处。根据空前形容词different可知,空处需用可数名词place的复数形式places,表示“不同的地方”。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:古蜀国至少在4800年前就已存在,而玛雅文明则大约出现于公元200年。根据时间状语around 200 AD可知,本句描述过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,故谓语动词emerge“出现”变为emerged。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:三星堆出土的青铜神树与玛雅文化中的木棉树相似,象征着天、地、冥界的结合。固定搭配be similar to...意为“与……相似”,故空处填介词to。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:三星堆是20世纪最重要的考古发现之一。根据空前the most及空后名词archaeological findings可知,空处需用significance的形容词形式significant“意义重大的”,构成“one of the most+形容词+名词复数”结构。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:三星堆是20世纪最重要的考古发现之一。空后20th century为序数词加名词结构,表示特指,故用定冠词the修饰。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:尽管古蜀人与玛雅人时空相隔,但他们生活在气候相似的地区,并使用相似的象征符号来描述他们对世界的理解。空处连接lived与used两个并列谓语动词,表示顺承关系,故用连词and。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:尽管古蜀人与玛雅人时空相隔,但他们生活在气候相似的地区,并使用相似的象征符号来描述他们对世界的理解。空处修饰名词understanding,需用they的形容词性物主代词their,表示“他们的理解”。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:近期三星堆发现的显著特征之一是中国考古团队采用的跨学科协作与技术手段。句中已有谓语动词was,employ“采用”与其逻辑主语technology之间为被动关系,故用过去分词employed构成过去分词短语作后置定语。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这使得出土丝绸残留物等精细文物成为可能,若采用其他挖掘方法可能会遗漏这些文物。固定句型make it possible to do sth.意为“使做某事成为可能”,其中it为形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式to unearth。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这使得出土丝绸残留物等精细文物成为可能,若采用其他挖掘方法可能会遗漏这些文物。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词delicate items,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词which引导。

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Li Ming was a 17-year-old exchange student from China. With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure.
In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk.
Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself.
Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines.
One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed.
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。
Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. They kept cheering loudly as he performed punches, kicks and graceful stances. They asked him to teach them basic moves, and Li Ming patiently demonstrated step by step, using simple English to explain each action’s meaning. When he struggled to express himself clearly, his new friends listened carefully and helped him find the right words. For the first time, Li Ming forgot his shyness and accent, feeling proud to share his culture. Practice became a joyful time where they learned from each other.
Para 2:
After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. Many classmates came up to him, praising his wonderful performance and asking about Chinese kung fu. Some even invited him to join their conversations and hang out after school. During group work, he dared to speak up confidently, and his ideas were well-received. He no longer felt left out; instead, he found a sense of belonging. Li Ming realized that his unique culture was a bridge to connect with others, and courage and sharing could help him fit in easily.
