As one of the oldest pre - college enrichment programs, SSP is uniquely run by former members of this wonderful community. Their previous experiences with SSP have led them to actively support the program through donations and volunteering. The program structure involves twelve teams guided by a faculty of seven. Students work in teams of three to undertake a hands - on research project, fostering collaboration, challenge, and inclusivity. Over 39 days, these teams dig into their research, forming a close - knit learning community. Admission to SSP is open to high school juniors globally, with a holistic (整体的) approach that values academic excellence and motivation. The program ensures diversity and provides financial aid to all admitted students, making sure talented young people won't get shut out. The SSP community thrives on cooperative research, offering, a refreshing replacement to competitive school environments. The absence of exams and grades focuses students on personal growth and the establishment of a supportive network with peers and alumni. Research opportunities are available in fields such as Astrophysics, Biochemistry, or Genomics. with each program hosted by a university partner. The curriculum is advanced, paced for college - level understanding, and integrated with the research project. The schedule is packed with learning, guest lectures from professionals, visits to scientific institutions, and social events, ensuring a well - rounded and enjoyable summer for participants. The SSP experience is not just about science; it's about personal and communal growth, making it an enriching and memorable program for high school seniors. 21. What is special about SSP? A. It's operated by former graduates. B. It's built upon previous experiences. C. It requires recommendations by faculty. D. It provides guidance on college application. 22. To get accepted by SSP, participants need to ______. A. pay a certain sum of fees B. adopt a holistic approach C. be able to design projects D. be excellent in academics 23. AI SSR, participants will A. have a few exams to sit B. engage in competitive activities C. get various research opportunities D. attend lectures in scientific institutions B All the Light We Cannot See is about a blind girl named Marie - Laure, who lives in Paris, France, in the 1930s. When the Nazis invade in 1940, she and her father are forced to leave the city. They escape to a countryside town to hide with Marie - Laure's great uncle, Etierine. After several months, Marie - Laure's father gets arrested. She continues to live with Etienne, and they start passing on secret signals to aid the French Resistance movement. Werner Pfennig is a German orphan with a hobby of listening to science and music programs on an old radio. Developing a talent for fixing radios, he is later hired by the Nazis to help them track enemy radio signals during the war. One day, he picks up a signal that is coming from Etienne's home in France. Anyway, Marie - Laure and Werner meet and develop a strong relationship. Can these poor souls find a way to escape this horrible war together? Anthony Doerr is an American author from Cleveland, Ohio. Critics have praised Doerr's writing for his short, sharp sentences and attention to detail. All the Light We Cannot See is his second novel, which was published in 2014. It quickly became a New York Times best - seller and won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The amazing novel gives readers a look at the ugly face of war. Throughout the book, we see how war can destroy people's lives in the blink (眨眼) of an eye. Characters such as Etienne and Marie - Laure's father disappear in an instant and are never heard from again. However, war is also shown to bring out the best in people. The characters who survive must show great courage and strength when they face challenges. Another important idea is the importance of science and technology. Doerr suggests that technologies, such as the radio, are helpful to society if they are used with good intentions. However, if technologies fall into the hands of evil (邪恶), they can cause great destruction. 24. How does Marie - Laure and Etienne help fight against Nazis? A. By providing information. B.

Technology plays a key role in war. 27. In which section of a magazine is the passage most likely to be seen? A. Great Writers. B. Book Club. C. Everyday Hero. D. Hit Movies. C Forty years ago, the research psychologist Dr Paul Ekman was asked a question: is there any way you can be sure people are telling the truth? Ekman did not know the answer then, but he wanted to find out. He first filmed a series of 12 - minute interviews with patients. In a subsequent conversation, one of the patients told him she had lied to him. So Ekman sat and looked at the film. Suddenly, he saw it: an intense expression of extreme pains. He termed his discovery “micro - expressions”: very rapid, intense demonstrations of emotion that the subject intended to hide. Over the next four decades, Ekman successfully demonstrated a proposition that the ways in which we express rage, disgust, contempt, fear, surprise, happiness and sadness are universal. The facial muscles triggered by those seven basic emotions are essentially standard regardless of language and culture, from east to west. Also, expressions of emotion are impossible to control and, particularly when we are lying, micro - expressions of powerfully felt emotions will inevitably flit across our face before we got the chance to stop them. Fortunately for liars, most people will fail to spot these fleeting signals of inner torment. Of the 15,000 Ekman has tested, only 50 people have been able to do it. But given a little more training, almost anyone can develop the skill. Since the first publication of this research, Ekman has been called in by law - enforcement and other agencies around the world, not just to solve cases, but to teach them how to use his technique. He has also held workshops for lawyers, health professionals, even couples, all of whom want to know exactly when someone is not being 100 percent candid. Ekman insists that a “true” lie must have two essential characteristics: there must be a deliberate intention to mislead and there must be no notification that this is what is occurring. This means that an actor isn't a true liar. They are supposed to deceive you — it's part of the game — and the same is true of flattery. Ekman prefers to focus on the kinds of lies where the liar would be in great trouble if they were found out, and where the target would feel properly upset if they knew. 28. What does the word “flit” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Fade gradually. B. Appear temporarily. C. Freeze suddenly. D. Intensify consciously. 29. Which situation meets Ekman's “true lie” criteria? A. A doctor informs his dying patient that he is doing well. B. A student cheats in the exam but admits it when asked. C. A banker hides loan risks to secure a client's signature. D. A guest praises the host for the terrible dishes served. 30. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To illustrate a scientific method for detecting deception. B. To analyze the biological principle of micro - expressions. C. To distinguish different types of the intentional deception. D. To promote a training program to detect micro - expression. D Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme "Top Gear" discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: "That's quite a strange combination. It's like, this must be done absolutely perfectly... tomorrow". This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions (断言).We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy? I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being 'generally rather casual' and more outwardly friendly than many European counties'. German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from. So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson's joke, but not baring an eyelid (眨眼) when it comes to generalizations. What is the difference between the two? By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group. So what does this really mean? Stereotype are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist's experience. If however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings in this way, some people argue that generalizing another culture is not just useful. but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence (冒犯) in those cultures. However, others argue that generalizing cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalizing cultures and start treating people as individuals. All this raises important questions: can making generalizations about groups of people be a positive thing? Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups? 31. When he said, "It's like, this must be done absolutely perfectly... tomorrow", Jeremy Clarkson really meant . A. the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good B. the combination of half German and half Irish is interesting C. the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are opposite D. the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won't 32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It's typical of the Swiss to be punctual. B. The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well. C. The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual. D. The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct. 33. Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because . A. they don't want to offend other people B. generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes C. cultural characteristics are better than stereotypes D. they think different cultural characteristics are useful 34. The main purpose of this passage is to . A. illustrate the importance of making generalizations B. show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different people C. tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristics D. discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of people 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Emotions interfere with our decision - making, or at least that is the thinking: emotional people seem to do irrational things. A person full of anger might commit a crime of passion. A man in love may do things that compromise his well - being. Surely, this is evidence against emotion's rationality (理性).    35    Emotions are not only compatible (相容的) with rationality, they can also help us make better choices. Baba Shiv, professor of marketing at Stanford University, writes that “if emotions were irrelevant, we would have evolved very differently”. Since we have emotions, we must wonder why and how they help us, instead of trying to eliminate them.    36    The truth is that emotions and reason are not in conflict. Emotions are rational. They involve judgements. For example, being angry involves judging that a wrongdoing has occurred. That is a rational activity. Emotions also contribute to our understanding.    37    But emotions also give us a reason to act. Fear, for example, gives us a reason to escape a situation. Anticipation of regret provides a reason to avoid excessive risk - taking. Emotions can also help with decision - making. According to Shiv, the emotional brain makes lightning - fast assessments based on past experiences, perceptions of the situation, and other factors that support our instincts. This enables efficient choices.    38    Can we do anything to prevent our emotions from negatively impacting our decision - making: Seo believes so, suggesting ways to reduce the unwanted effects of emotions on our decision - making. For example, if sadness makes us make poor decisions with our money by being reckless (鲁莽的) about spending, we might replace it with gratitude. This feeling might help us make a better, more moderate decision. Humans have reason and emotions.    39    It also prevents us from using our emotions to help us make better decisions. Fortunately, we can choose differently. A. Nevertheless, any situation can still go wrong. B. But this line of thinking couldn't be more wrong. C. Discounting one for the sake of the other denies our humanity. D. One answer is that emotions aid in rationality and decision - making. E. For example, emotions can change decisions by generating reactions in others. F. They motivate us to inquire about our own beliefs and help us to perceive the world differently. G. It's why we should warn people about emotions, tell them to calm down before making decisions. 第三部分书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 If you listen to some self - improvement lectures about success, you'll hear a familiar saying: Hustle (忙碌) harder. It sounds like success is just a matter of willpower and that the life of your dreams is within reach. Many young people are buying into this mindset, spending every waking hour working toward ambitious goals, only to find themselves worn out and unfulfilled. Hustle culture promises success, but it often leads to burnout and disappointment. The truth is that success and fulfillment don't come from constant struggle. They come from something deeper and more sustainable: persistence (坚持). Hustle culture praises big goals. But what the experts won't tell you is that most of those goals require a mix of timing, luck, and sometimes even genetics. No matter how hard you hustle, success isn't always within your control. Persistence culture, on the other hand, takes a different approach. Instead of focusing on massive, high - risk goals, it emphasizes consistent effort over time. It encourages growth, learning, and steady improvement—factors that are within your control. Hustle culture focuses on goals, ignoring the process. It tells you to chase success at all costs, even if that means doing things you hate along the way. For example, you love podcasting (制作播客). You enjoy the connection with your audience. But if you follow hustle culture, your focus shifts to profit, audience growth, and social media engagement. To “succeed,” you have to learn marketing strategies that you don't actually enjoy. Persistence culture, in contrast, prioritizes the process itself. It asks: Do you enjoy what you're doing? When you love the process, you don't need external approval to keep going. Success becomes a byproduct of consistency and passion. Instead of measuring success by external factors, it asks: How can I improve? Maybe your podcast isn't getting millions of downloads, but are you becoming a better interviewer? Are you developing new skills? These are the measures that matter because they're within your control. 40. How do many young people feel after following the “hustle harder” mindset? _______________________________________ 41.
