Sampling would happen during a later trip. At the airport,one of my partners greeted me.We drove to the research center where he worked,and then toured every lab in the building.I met scientists,technicians,students and even the cook.I was impressed that I was introduced to each person.The lack of hierarchy (was unlike anything I had experienced before in academia(学术界). The next day,we met again to brainstorm.Together,we looked at maps to plan how we were going to collect samples.Had it not been for the Cubans,I would have been unaware that on the map I had left out some new reservoirs ()Local involvement and knowledge were key-making me wonder what I'd missed working without such a team in other places. Six months later,I flew back to Cuba and this time,we headed to the field.I was impressed again by the lengths to which my Cuban partners went to ensure that all team members were treated equally.We drove around Cuba in bright yellow minibuses,and each minibus had a mix of members at all seniority levels.In the field,all members sweated together. On the last night of the trip,we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at one table. When a restaurant couldn't accommodate the team without separating us,my partners insisted that we move on and find a place with a large enough table. In 26 years as a professor,I have never been a fan of academia's hierarchy.I want everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team.But my Cuban partners take teamwork to another level entirely.They make it clear that all team members are valued,that everyone is equal,and that true teamwork makes for better science. 24.Why did the author feel frustrated in paragraph 1? A.He was asked to host a meeting in Cuba. B.He was told to change his planned project. C.He couldn't do his work in his usual way in Cuba. D.He spent a long time waiting for his plane to Cuba. 25.What was wrong with the author's map? A.It was torn up. B.It was outdated. C.It was too old to read. D.It was about another water area. 26.What can prove that the Cuban team didn't have hierarchy? A.They were friendly to the author. B.They worked in different groups. C.They drove minibuses to the field. D.They had dinner together at one table 27.Which of the following can be the suitable title for the text? A.A Fruitful Trip in Cuba B.Impressed by a Cuban Team C.Respect Seniors in the Team D.You'll Never Know until You Try C Chimpanzees(黑猩猩)live in strongly hierarchical(等级制度的)social communities whose male members remain within the same group over time.Female chimps migrate to new communities when they reach adulthood.They bring with them not only new genes but also new knowledge.As this process repeated itself across thousands of years,female chimpanzees spread behaviors between communities,and those behaviors were recombined with existing traditions to create layers of innovation that resulted in increasingly complex and advanced tool sets. Unlike popular examples of animal culture like bird songs,whale calls and honeybee"waggle dance" moves,which remain largely unchanged over generations,new research led by Cassandra Gunasekaram shows chimpanzees not only learn and repeat a behavior,but also build upon it,combining and refining knowledge across generations to make it more efficient."Our new research shows that humans are not the only species capable of cumulative(累积的)culture,.”says Gunasekaram. Cumulative culture refers to knowledge that is transmitted from generation to generation,enabling the development of increasingly complicated new technologies that result from the gradual accumulation of new ideas and breakthroughs contributed by multiple minds.Computers are an example:they have gained in complexity and efficiency as researchers have built on what came before to the point that no person could create one with today's standards completely from the very beginning. To perform the new study,Gunasekaram and colleagues used genetic data from 240 individual chimpanzees from 35 different communities,representing all four subspecies,to track down past encounters among the animals.In addition,they built a map of 15 food-gathering behaviors across chimpanzee populations. The researchers finally compared these networks of genetic relatedness and cultural similarities to provide possible confirmation for cumulative culture.Their analysis of the simplest behaviors found no corresponding evidence of genetic exchange between groups.When only the most complex behaviors were analyzed,however,they found a clear correlation with female migrations.This suggests that females moving to a new group play a role in driving innovation and fits the assumption that social transmission between groups is necessary for the development of only the most complicated tools,not the simpler ones. 28.What can female chimpanzees be described as? A.Interrupters of outdated social traditions. B.Drivers of cultural and genetic exchange C.Primary competitors for male dominance. D.Guardians of established social hierarchies 29.How are chimpanzees different from animals like birds,whales and bees? A.They exhibit advanced cumulative culture. B.They have a powerful sense of cooperation. C.They can absorb cultures from other species. D.They have more complicated social structures. 30.Why does the author mention the example of computers in paragraph 3? A.To warn lone geniuses of the dangerous tendency. B.To show how cumulative culture impacts technology. C.To highlight the endless intelligence of human societies. D.To prove the spread of knowledge is a modern phenomenon. 31.What can we learn from the passage? A.Chimps seem to lose some traditions due to migration. B.Chimps have a trick of maintaining their genetic diversity. C.Chimps are incapable of making and using complex tools. D.Chimps can share knowledge and promote innovation across groups. D Before reading Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential,I assumed success followed a predictable formula:hard work,discipline,and stability.I expected merely a culinary manual-kitchen routines and meal preparation tips.Instead,Bourdain delivered a raw memoir()that completely shook my framework,forcing me to rethink authenticity )risk,and what it truly means to experience the world. What struck me first was his honesty.He exposed the restaurant industry's chaotic weaknesses:the unstable lives chefs led,the busy evening rushes,and even the worst times to order fish.This unflinching (portrait revealed that fulfillment does not always emerge on a clean,comfortable path. Sometimes it germinates in the most uncomfortable atmospheres,where resilience (is built through hardship.His anecdotes forced me to question whether my own fulfilled life demands playing it safe or embracing genuine curiosities,however messy and uncertain they may be. Bourdain also reframed my understanding of failure.His career was far from an immediate success; it developed through missteps,rejections,and personal struggles.Yet he famously declared,"By being denied,a door opened."For college students facing novel challenges,this mindset is crucial.It transforms failure from a final judgement into an inevitable,necessary driving force for growth.Rejection,he implied, is not a dead end but a redirect toward uncharted possibilities. Another aspect that resonated deeply was his approach to curiosity and experience.Bourdain constantly embraced the unfamiliar-whether food,culture,or people.He once advised,"Be aware of the fact that you are the stupidest person in the room."Far from discouraging,this remark liberates us from the pressure of having all the answers.Freedom,he suggested,lies in acknowledging our ignorance and diving headfirst into the unknown. Finally,Bourdain changed how I view authenticity.Throughout the narrative,he wrote with an unapologetically raw voice,making readers feel like conversation partners rather than passive receivers. He taught me that being our true selves and taking up space in the world is not a luxury but a necessity. 32.What is the author's primary purpose in writing this passage? A.To explain how a memoir reshaped his views on life and success B.To summarize the cooking techniques taught in Kitchen Confidential. C.To challenge Bourdain's philosophy with traditional success formulas D.To criticize Bourdain's pessimistic attitude toward the restaurant industry. 33.What does the underlined word "germinates"in the second paragraph mean? A.Disappears. B.Develops. C.Hides. D.Sticks. 34.Which of the following would Bourdain disapprove of? A.Failure doesn't mean the end of growth. B.Rejection doesn't always close the door to success. C.One can succeed by avoiding failures and mistakes. D.College students can expect to find a way out after being denied 35.Why did Bourdain advise "Be aware that you are the stupidest person in the room"? A.To discourage people from trying new things. B.To encourage people to stay humble and keep learning. C.To acknowledge people's ignorance about food and culture. D.To make people feel anxious about their lack of knowledge 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。 Negotiation is everywhere-at work,at home,and in social life.We constantly negotiate on when to meet,what to share,and whose opinions to explore.36 Yet most of us haven't truly learned this skill. Before you can succeed in any negotiation,you need to get the other person's attention.You might want to jump right in and demand what you want.However,it's much easier when you have built a good connection first.37 When I moved into my dream house,my husband and I faced a hostile neighbor who confronted us about our driveway.I was very angry and at a loss.I had never had an enemy before.My mother advised: "Take him a glass of lemonade."38 Years later,when I needed his approval for a gas line easement,he agreed without hesitation.This experience taught me that even the worst relationships can be softened by the give-and-take of a lemonade. Give-and-take means offering something valuable-a coffee,a compliment,or a kind word.A small gift can create a positive cycle.39 Here are two strategies.First,give their favorite-learn what the other person truly likes.Second,think like a kid-if a child would love it,it's probably a safe choice. 40 If someone orders you to bring them a lemonade,don't do it.The gift must be your free choice,not made under pressure.When someone threatens you,giving in only teaches them to threaten more.A well-chosen"lemonade"can build a good connection and increase the odds of a positive outcome. A.Negotiation is about winning at all costs. B.But how do you offer a good "lemonade"? C.That's where successful negotiation begins. D.Life,in essence,is largely about negotiation. E.That small act of kindness transformed our relationship. F.However,offering a gift differs from bowing down to demands G.There are a lot of components that go into a successful negotiation. 第三部分：英语知识运用 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The turning point of my college football career came early in my third year.At the end of the second practice of the season,in ninety-five-degree heat,I 41 and was rushed to the hospital.Lying in the recovery room,I realized that my physical42 symbolized broader frustrations I felt playing college football.As a result,I lost 43 in my identity.

Just as they finished preparing and were about to step out the door,the weather suddenly changed. Strong winds began to blow,bending the trees and shaking the windows.In no time,dark clouds covered the sky,and heavy rain started to pour down. Emma and Peter sank onto the floor near the door.Their shoulders dropped,and their heads hung low. The lovely day they had dreamed of was completely ruined.The snacks and toys they had packed were still in their bags on the floor,untouched.The room felt quiet,and the energy that had filled them just a few minutes ago seemed to have gone. Their mother,seeing their disappointed faces,gently comforted them.She told them that bad weather should not ruin their good mood and that they should always stay positive.Instead of giving up,she encouraged them to think of a new idea that would not waste their morning preparations and still allow them to have a good time. The brother and sister sat quietly for a while and began to brainstorm,their spirits lifting a little as they thought about their mother's words.Just then,Emma's eyes fell on the backpacks full of snacks,the picnic blanket,and the toys they had packed earlier.A bright idea struck her. She turned to Peter and shared her plan:they could turn their own living room into a mini park,using all the things they had prepared for the outdoor trip.Peter's face lit up at the thought,and he nodded eagerly in agreement.Their mother listened to the suggestion and gladly agreed to the clever idea. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Full of new energy,the children started to work at once.

Of all time-honored virtues rooted in Chinese culture,honesty is the one I value most.As a traditional moral quality,it requires us to be truthful and faithful whenever we interact with others. Not merely a personal merit,honesty serves as the cornerstone of trust.Once we behave honestly,we can win respect from others and build reliable social bonds.Without honesty, friendship and social harmony would hardly exist.Therefore,it plays an irreplaceable role in our growth and the whole society. As teenagers,we are supposed to practise honesty in daily life.Let's take action to carry forward this precious virtue. Thank you for listening! 续写作文参考范文 Full ofnew energy,the children started to work at once.Eyes sparkling with delight,Emma grabbed the picnic blanket and spread it smoothly across the living-room floor.Peter rushed to unpack their backpacks,pouring out colourful toys and various snacks.To copy the real park scene,he stacked soft cushions into small "hills"while Emma stuck paper flowers on the window.Witnessing their passionate performance,their mother wore a warm smile and offered a hand,bringing fresh fruits and soft light music.Minutes later,the plain living room was magically transformed into a warm mini park. With everything ready.the whole family began to have their fin.Settled comfortably on the blanket,they shared snacks and played games,whose loud laughter echoed through the room. Rain beat heavily against the window,yet it could not dampen their joy.As they enjoyed themselves,a thought flashed through Emma's mind.It was not the place but our positive attitude that brought happiness.Exactly as mother had advised,whenever plans fell apart,we could adjust ourselves and find joy elsewhere. 听力原文： Text ,智5otb罗g的知2n6 ul on m evel1 ropes for:noam M:Susan,are Text2 M:Jenifer,I was just informed that the airport was closed today because of the snowstorm.
