2026–2027高二上英语入学考试 (卷面分值: 80分 考试时间: 50分钟) 第一部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Four female pioneers from different fields will soon appear on some US coins. Generations to come will look at the coins bearing these designs and be reminded of what can be accomplished with determination and a desire to improve opportunities for all. Anna May Wong Wong was the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood, appearing in more than 60 movies. Her coin shows her resting her head on her hand, surrounded by the round lights of a stage. A film critic once noted that Wong’s performances often carried a sense of longing, as if she was yearning for a Hollywood that fully accepted her. Maya Angelou The late writer and social activist has already received a presidential Medal of Freedom, won a National Book Award, and published more than 30 bestselling poems. Angelou’s coin will show her with her arms lifted, in front of a bird in flight and a rising sun. Those images are inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived. Scholars analyze that her works frequently explored themes of resilience (恢复) and hope, mirroring her own life journey marked by overcoming hardships. Sally Ride The late astronaut, physicist and educator is best known as the first American woman — and youngest American — to travel to space. After her retirement, she devoted herself to inspiring young people, particularly girls, in science, engineering, technology and math. Her coin design shows her standing next to a window on a spaceship, which is inspired by what she once said. “When I wasn’t working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.” Wilma Mankiller Mankiller was the first elected female chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1987, and is celebrated as an activist for Native American and women’s rights. Under her leadership, infant death rate declined and educational levels rose. Mankiller’s coin shows her in a traditional dress in front of the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation. Historians emphasize that her leadership style was both inclusive (包容的) and decisive, bringing about tangible (明确的) changes for her people. 1. What can we infer about Anna May Wong from the passage? A. Her performances lacked emotional depth. B. She was widely accepted by Hollywood from the start. C. She faced challenges in gaining full acceptance in Hollywood. D. She starred in fewer than 50 movies throughout her career. 2. Why are the images of a bird in flight and a rising sun chosen for Maya Angelou’s coin? A. They represent her love for nature. B. They are symbols of her favorite hobbies. C. They were randomly selected by coin designers. D. They reflect the themes in her poetry and her life attitude. 3. Which of the following best describes Wilma Mankiller’s leadership? A. Ineffective in bringing about any changes. B. Focused mainly on economic development. C. Unconcerned with the social welfare of her community. D. Characterized by inclusiveness and the ability to achieve results. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍四位来自不同领域的美国女性先驱将登上美国硬币，分别介绍了她们的成就及硬币设计所体现的个人特质与贡献。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Anna May Wong部分第二段“A film critic once noted that Wong’s performances often carried a sense of longing, as if she was yearning for a Hollywood that fully accepted her.(一位影评人曾指出，黄柳霜的表演常常带着一种渴望感，仿佛她在期盼一个能完全接纳她的好莱坞)”可知，黄柳霜在好莱坞获得完全接纳的过程中面临挑战。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Maya Angelou部分“Angelou’s coin will show her with her arms lifted, in front of a bird in flight and a rising sun. Those images are inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived.(安吉洛的硬币上，她双臂高举，身前是一只飞鸟和一轮冉冉升起的太阳。这些意象源于她的诗歌，也象征着她的生活态度)”可知，飞鸟和朝阳的意象反映了她诗歌中的主题和生活态度。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后Wilma Mankiller部分“Historians emphasize that her leadership style was both inclusive (包容的) and decisive, bringing about tangible (明确的) changes for her people.(历史学家强调，她的领导风格既包容又果断，为她的族人带来了切实的改变)”可知，历史学家指出威尔玛的领导风格包容且果断，能带来切实改变，即其领导特点是包容且有能力取得成果。故选D。 B Eric Williams has set his sights on making his city, Philadelphia, safer for kids like his son，Elijah, with autism (自闭症). He is doing this by installing special street signs across the city that get drivers to slow down for the benefit of kids with autism, as well as all kids in the community. Thanks to the efforts of Williams, local residents are likely to have spotted many yellow and black street signs that read “AUTISTIC PERSON AREA”. Successfully advocating for the signs, and building a system to put them into practice took just over a year. Significantly, these signs are there because a person with autism may cross the street with little warning. Learning road safety is more challenging for autistic children. Project Elijah Empowering Autism (PEEA), a nonprofit organization, was established by Williams in 2004. Families interested in having a sign installed nearby can fill out an online application. Williams launched the form at the start of 2024, and by April, about 400 applications had already been received. One of these street signs went up outside the workplace of Jamila, a local woman running a nonprofit offering after-school activities to 12 children with autism. She says, “We have a little boy: when he gets picked up, he instantly runs out into the street. We have school buses that drop the kids off here. You get cars that fly by. Now the street signs provide another level of security for the kids.” Consequently, Williams’s nonprofit is about more than driving the provision of more street signs to help kids with autism. PEEA hosts free, year-round education, and recreation programs for families living with autism. It also organizes food, clothing, and other essential distributions, and provides helpful resources that the community can use to build children’s confidence and independence, and raise their awareness. 4. What is Williams’s goal of installing special street signs? A. To provide directions for lost drivers. B. To improve autistic children’s safety. C. To beautify the streets in Philadelphia. D. To make traffic better in the rush hour. 5. How can families request the installation of special street signs? A. By sending a letter to Williams. B. By joining a nonprofit organization. C. By completing an application form online. D. By contacting the government directly. 6. What did Jamila’s words imply? A. To show the positive impact of the street signs. B. To highlight the dangers faced by autistic children. C. To emphasize the difficulty in learning road safety. D. To illustrate the challenges encountered by nonprofits. 7. What do we know about PEEA from the last paragraph? A. It is highly profitable now. B. It has expanded its service. C. It will spread to more cities. D. It mainly offers material aid. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位父亲为了帮助有自闭症的孩子，在费城安装特殊街道标志，以提醒司机减缓速度，确保孩子们的安全。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Eric Williams has set his sights on making his city, Philadelphia, safer for kids like his son，Elijah, with autism (自闭症). He is doing this by installing special street signs across the city that get drivers to slow down for the benefit of kids with autism, as well as all kids in the community.(Eric Williams的目标是让他的城市费城对像他儿子Elijah这样患有自闭症的孩子更安全。他的做法是在整个城市安装特殊的街道标志，让司机们放慢速度，以造福自闭症儿童，以及社区里的所有孩子)”可知，Eric Williams在整个费城安装特殊的街道标志，目的是提高患有自闭症的孩子的安全。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Families interested in having a sign installed nearby can fill out an online application.(有兴趣在附近安装标志的家庭可以填写在线申请)”可知，家庭可以通过在线填写申请表来要求安装特殊的街道标志。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“She says, “We have a little boy: when he gets picked up, he instantly runs out into the street. We have school buses that drop the kids off here. You get cars that fly by. Now the street signs provide another level of security for the kids.”(她说：“我们有一个小男孩，当让他站起来的时候，他会立刻跑到街上。我们有校车把孩子们送到这里。你会遇到飞驰而过的汽车。现在，路牌为孩子们提供了另一层安全保障。”)”可知，文章提及Jamila说的话，旨在表明Wiliams他们安装的街道标志对自闭症儿童的安全有积极影响。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Consequently, Williams’s nonprofit is about more than driving the provision of more street signs to help kids with autism. PEEA hosts free, year-round education, and recreation programs for families living with autism. It also organizes food, clothing, and other essential distributions, and provides helpful resources that the community can use to build children’s confidence and independence, and raise their awareness.(因此，威廉姆斯的非营利组织不仅仅是推动提供更多的街道标志来帮助自闭症儿童。PEEA为患有自闭症的家庭提供免费的全年教育和娱乐项目。它还组织食物、衣服和其他必要的分发，并提供有用的资源，社区可以使用这些资源来建立儿童的信心和独立性，并提高他们的意识)”可知，PEEA扩大了服务范围。故选B。 C The idea that smiling can make you feel happier has a long history. In 1872, Darwin mused about whether an emotion that was expressed would be felt more intensely than one that was repressed. Early psychologists were equally emotional about this topic in the 1880s. More than a hundred studies have been published on it, and it remains a constant theme in popular wisdom. “Smile, though your heart is aching,” sang Nat King Cole in 1954. “You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you’ll just smile.” In 2018, social psychologist Fritz Strack published a study that seemed to confirm the facial feedback hypothesis. Researchers asked participants to hold a pen in their mouths in a way that forced them either to bare their teeth in a smile-like shape or to purse their lips. To prevent participants from associating the task with the study’s real intention, they were told the research was about how people with physical disabilities perform practical tasks like writing. When shown a series of comics from The Far Side, those holding the pen with their teeth — the “smiling” group-rated the images as funnier than those who pursed their lips. This was considered an extremely important finding: even without being aware of smiling, the facial expression alone appeared to influence mood. The result was widely recognized and entered psychology textbooks. In contrast to years of support, however, 17 labs attempted to repeat the pen study in 2025 — and all lacked success. 8. What does the underlined word “repressed” mean in Para. 1? A. Controlled. B. Tolerated. C. Recognized. D. Appreciated. 9. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Participants were physically disabled. B. Researchers didn’t share their true purpose. C. Researchers didn’t show their facial feedback. D. Participants were confused about the experiment. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the result of the experiment? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Does Smiling Have Long History? B. Is the Facial Feedback Hypothesis True? C. Is Life Worthwhile If You Just Smile? D. Can Smiling Really Make You Happier? 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本是一篇说明文。文章围绕“微笑是否能让人更快乐”这一话题，介绍了相关历史观点、支持该观点的实验及后续重复实验失败的情况，客观呈现了这一观点的争议性。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“In 1872, Darwin mused about whether an emotion that was expressed would be felt more intensely than one that was repressed.( 1872年，达尔文思考了一种被表达的情感是否会比被repressed的情感更强烈。)”可知，前文“an emotion that was expressed(被表达出来的情绪)”与“one that was repressed(被____的情绪)”构成反义对比，“expressed(被表达出来的)”的反义词为“被控制的、压抑的”，由此可知，repressed为“被压抑的”的意思，A选项Controlled“被控制的，抑制的”符合语境。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To prevent participants from associating the task with the study’s real intention, they were told the research was about how people with physical disabilities perform practical tasks like writing.( 为了防止参与者将这项任务与研究的真实意图联系起来，他们被告知这项研究是关于身体残疾的人如何完成写作等实际任务的)”可知，研究人员并没有透露他们的真正目的。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In 2018, social psychologist Fritz Strack published a study that seemed to confirm the facial feedback hypothesis.( 2018年，社会心理学家弗里茨·斯特拉克发表了一项研究，似乎证实了面部反馈假说)”以及最后一段中“In contrast to years of support, however, 17 labs attempted to repeat the pen study in 2025-and all lacked success.( 然而，与多年来的支持相反，有17个实验室试图在2025年重复这项钢笔研究，但都没有成功)”可推知，作者客观呈现实验过程与结果 —— 先说明2018年斯特拉克的研究“证实面部反馈假设”，再提及2025年17个实验室“重复实验失败”，未加入个人支持或批判的主观评价，仅陈述事实。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕核心话题“微笑是否能让人更快乐”展开 —— 首段提出“微笑让人更快乐”的历史与流行观点，第二段介绍支持该观点的实验，第三段转折说明重复实验失败，核心争议点是 “微笑与快乐之间的因果关系”。D选项 Can Smiling Really Make You Happier?（微笑真的能让人更快乐吗？）—— 精准概括全文“支持与反对”的核心争议，涵盖所有段落的核心内容。故选D项。 D When unethical (不道德的) behavior is criticized, demands are often met with defensiveness and denial. How can we overcome this reaction? New research by Lauren Howe, an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, identifies a way that criticism can be more effective. A series of experiments involving more than 1,400 participants shows that criticized groups are more likely to take criticism to heart when the messenger not only criticizes the groups, but also shows concern for the issues that the criticized groups themselves face. When criticizing groups, messengers often address the group by pointing out how the group is causing harm to another group and asking them to change their ways. “What messengers may not realize is that when a person accuses a group of causing harm like this, right away, members of the group may believe that the messenger views their group as immoral and does not care about their outcomes,” Howe explains. “We find in our research that when messages include dual (双重的) concern by expressing concern for the group that is criticized while still accusing the group of causing harm, it reduces this problematic inference, and thus dual concern messages are more effective at encouraging members of a group to agree with the criticism of their own group.” The research tested the idea in campaigns: Participants read a poster advocating stopping prejudice against a group with whom they personally disagreed. The poster led participants to agree 8.6% more strongly that their disfavored group faced unfair and specific prejudices when the poster conveyed that the advocates also were concerned about the prejudices that many other groups faced. What the research shows, Howe summarizes, is that criticism works better when it is done with care. She suggests, “When messengers point out harm or wrongdoing, they might consider what challenges the group that they are accusing of harm faces.” Messengers may want to acknowledge these challenges, if appropriate, to signal to their audience that they are not dismissed as immoral. As messengers raise their voices to criticize one group for harming another group, their arguments are more persuasive when they emphasize concern for the criticized group. 12. What does the study by Lauren Howe mainly focus on? A. The impact of public criticism on individuals. B. The strategies for making criticism more effective. C. The effectiveness of public criticism in changing behavior. D. The importance of reducing defensive reactions to criticism. 13. Why might dual concern messages be useful? A. They focus on the benefits of changing behavior. B. They make the criticized group feel more powerful. C. They highlight the harm caused by the criticized group. D. They reduce the perceived moral judgment of the messenger. 14. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 4? A. How the researchers tested their idea. B. What the participants faced in criticism. C. How criticism helped participants in life. D. Why most participants couldn’t handle criticism. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Bitter criticism is much more effective. B. The harm caused by criticism is unavoidable. C. Expressing concern can make criticism more persuasive. D. Messengers should avoid criticizing groups facing challenges. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。劳伦・豪的研究表明，批评时表达对被批评群体的关切，可减少其防御反应，让批评更有效。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“New research by Lauren Howe, an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, identifies a way that criticism can be more effective.(苏黎世大学助理教授劳伦・豪的一项新研究发现了一种能让批评更有效的方法)”可知，劳伦・豪的研究核心是找到让批评更有效的策略。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We find in our research that when messages include dual (双重的) concern by expressing concern for the group that is criticized while still accusing the group of causing harm, it reduces this problematic inference, and thus dual concern messages are more effective at encouraging members of a group to agree with the criticism of their own group.(我们在研究中发现，当信息包含双重关注时，即对被批评的群体表示关注，同时仍指责该群体造成伤害，这减少了这种有问题的推断，因此双重关注信息更有效地鼓励群体成员同意对自己群体的批评)”，且前文提到“this problematic inference”指“members of the group may believe that the messenger views their group as immoral(被批评群体的成员可能会认为传达者视他们的群体为不道德的)”。由此可知，双重关注信息的作用是减少被批评群体对传达者“道德评判”的感知。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The research tested the idea in campaigns: Participants read a poster advocating stopping prejudice against a group with whom they personally disagreed.(该研究在活动中测试了这一观点：参与者阅读了一张倡导停止对一个他们个人不认同的群体抱有偏见的海报)”及后文对实验过程和结果的描述可知，该段核心是介绍研究人员如何通过实验验证“双重关注让批评更有效”这一观点。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As messengers raise their voices to criticize one group for harming another group, their arguments are more persuasive when they emphasize concern for the criticized group.(当传达者发声批评一个群体伤害另一个群体时，当他们强调对被批评群体的关切时，他们的论点会更有说服力)”可推知，作者通过引用豪的研究结论暗示，表达关切能让批评更具说服力。故选C项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, then around industry. But something else is becoming more important in today’s world: information. ____16____ And the technology that we use to do this is called information—hour news, e-commerce, international communication, mobile phones, global positioning systems. All these are making the world smaller and faster. The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country develop, or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease. It is starting a real global village, where people only dreamed of a generation ago. ____17____ Billions of people cannot read those words because they do not have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either—the language that around half of the information on the Internet is written in. They don’t even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority. The contrast between countries that have information technology and those that don’t is called the “digital divide”. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use Information and Communication technologies. ____18____ The United Nations is trying to make the information society a reality for more of the world’s developing world. ____19____ It wants to see rich countries share their technology and knowledge to poorer nations. This will improve business, medicine, science and agriculture, and create new opportunities and employment. At the same time, cultures, languages and traditions will become stronger. World internet use has been growing massively—by about a billion users every five years—and now nearly half of the world is connected to the Internet. But does information come with freedom? ____20____ Information is power, so who will people share it? Doesn’t more information mean fewer jobs? And how can most of the world’s people keep local cultures alive if most of them are only connected to broadband and outside media in one language? A. The digital divide will soon disappear completely. B. It focuses on sharing technology, care and education. C. Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few. D. There are still many questions about the information age. E. Information is flowing around the world every hour of every day. F. What about the impact of information on different aspects of life? G. But can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances? 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕信息时代展开，探讨了信息的重要性、信息传播带来的影响、全球存在的“数字鸿沟”现象、联合国为缩小数字鸿沟所做的努力，以及信息时代引发的诸多问题和思考。 【16题详解】 上文“Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, then around industry. But something else is becoming more important in today’s world: information.(曾几何时，社会是围绕宗教组织的，然后是围绕工业组织的。但在当今世界，另一种东西正变得越来越重要：信息)”提到如今信息变得更重要，下文“And the technology that we use to do this is called information—hour news, e-commerce, international communication, mobile phones, global positioning systems.(我们用来做这件事的技术被称为信息小时新闻，电子商务，国际交流，移动电话，全球定位系统)”说明了我们传递信息的方式，E选项“Information is flowing around the world every hour of every day.(信息每时每刻都在世界各地流动)”进一步阐述了信息在当前世界的情况，与前文强调信息的重要性以及后文提到的信息传递技术相呼应，说明信息处于不断流动状态，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 后文“Billions of people cannot read those words because they do not have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either—the language that around half of the information on the Internet is written in. They don’t even have a telephone.(数十亿人无法阅读这些文字，因为他们没有电脑。他们也不懂英语——互联网上大约一半的信息都是用英语写的。他们甚至没有电话)”指出数十亿人因没有电脑、不懂英语甚至没有电话，无法获取信息，对他们来说信息并非首要之事。G选项“But can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances?(但是世界上每个人都能分享最近的技术进步吗？)”起到了承上启下的过渡作用，引出后文关于并非所有人都能受益于信息技术的论述。故选G。 【18题详解】 空前“The contrast between countries that have information technology and those that don’t is called the “digital divide”. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use Information and Communication technologies.(拥有信息技术的国家和没有信息技术的国家之间的对比被称为“数字鸿沟”。斯堪的纳维亚和东南亚有很多人使用信息和通信技术)”提到“数字鸿沟”和“斯堪的纳维亚半岛和东南亚使用信息和通信技术的人数众多”。C选项“Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few.(中非和太平洋地区相对较少)”与前文形成对比，通过列举中非和太平洋地区使用信息技术人数少的情况，进一步说明了“数字鸿沟”的存在，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 空前“The United Nations is trying to make the information society a reality for more of the world’s developing world.(联合国正努力使信息社会成为世界上更多发展中国家的现实)”提到联合国正努力让信息社会在世界上更多发展中地区成为现实，后文“It wants to see rich countries share their technology and knowledge to poorer nations.(它希望看到富裕国家向贫穷国家分享他们的技术和知识)”之处联合国希望看到富裕国家与贫穷国家分享技术和知识。B选项“It focuses on sharing technology, care and education.(它专注于分享技术、关怀和教育)”中“sharing technology”与后文“rich countries share their technology and knowledge to poorer nations”相呼应，说明了联合国努力的方向。故选B。 【20题详解】 空后“Information is power, so who will people share it? Doesn’t more information mean fewer jobs? And how can most of the world’s people keep local cultures alive if most of them are only connected to broadband and outside media in one language?(信息就是力量，那么谁来分享呢？更多的信息不就意味着更少的工作吗？如果世界上大多数人只用一种语言连接宽带和外部媒体，他们又如何保持当地文化的活力呢？)”列举了一些问题，D选项“There are still many questions about the information age.(关于信息时代仍有许多问题)”直接引出了后文关于信息时代的一系列疑问，起到了总领下文的作用。故选D。 第二部分：完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Having eased my way into the parking lot, I looked through the crowd, but couldn’t find the ____21____ face.

Just as I was paying the bill, Teresa appeared, apologizing for her ____34____ and the radio silence. I ____35____ her midway, “It’s okay. I’m just glad you’re here!” We hugged each other tightly.

Generations to come will look at the coins bearing these designs and be reminded of what can be accomplished with determination and a desire to improve opportunities for all. Anna May Wong Wong was the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood, appearing in more than 60 movies. Her coin shows her resting her head on her hand, surrounded by the round lights of a stage. A film critic once noted that Wong’s performances often carried a sense of longing, as if she was yearning for a Hollywood that fully accepted her. Maya Angelou The late writer and social activist has already received a presidential Medal of Freedom, won a National Book Award, and published more than 30 bestselling poems. Angelou’s coin will show her with her arms lifted, in front of a bird in flight and a rising sun. Those images are inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived. Scholars analyze that her works frequently explored themes of resilience (恢复) and hope, mirroring her own life journey marked by overcoming hardships. Sally Ride The late astronaut, physicist and educator is best known as the first American woman — and youngest American — to travel to space. After her retirement, she devoted herself to inspiring young people, particularly girls, in science, engineering, technology and math. Her coin design shows her standing next to a window on a spaceship, which is inspired by what she once said. “When I wasn’t working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.” Wilma Mankiller Mankiller was the first elected female chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1987, and is celebrated as an activist for Native American and women’s rights. Under her leadership, infant death rate declined and educational levels rose. Mankiller’s coin shows her in a traditional dress in front of the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation. Historians emphasize that her leadership style was both inclusive (包容的) and decisive, bringing about tangible (明确的) changes for her people. 1. What can we infer about Anna May Wong from the passage? A. Her performances lacked emotional depth. B. She was widely accepted by Hollywood from the start. C. She faced challenges in gaining full acceptance in Hollywood. D. She starred in fewer than 50 movies throughout her career. 2. Why are the images of a bird in flight and a rising sun chosen for Maya Angelou’s coin? A. They represent her love for nature. B. They are symbols of her favorite hobbies. C. They were randomly selected by coin designers. D. They reflect the themes in her poetry and her life attitude. 3. Which of the following best describes Wilma Mankiller’s leadership? A. Ineffective in bringing about any changes. B. Focused mainly on economic development. C. Unconcerned with the social welfare of her community. D. Characterized by inclusiveness and the ability to achieve results. B Eric Williams has set his sights on making his city, Philadelphia, safer for kids like his son，Elijah, with autism (自闭症). He is doing this by installing special street signs across the city that get drivers to slow down for the benefit of kids with autism, as well as all kids in the community. Thanks to the efforts of Williams, local residents are likely to have spotted many yellow and black street signs that read “AUTISTIC PERSON AREA”. Successfully advocating for the signs, and building a system to put them into practice took just over a year. Significantly, these signs are there because a person with autism may cross the street with little warning. Learning road safety is more challenging for autistic children. Project Elijah Empowering Autism (PEEA), a nonprofit organization, was established by Williams in 2004. Families interested in having a sign installed nearby can fill out an online application. Williams launched the form at the start of 2024, and by April, about 400 applications had already been received. One of these street signs went up outside the workplace of Jamila, a local woman running a nonprofit offering after-school activities to 12 children with autism. She says, “We have a little boy: when he gets picked up, he instantly runs out into the street. We have school buses that drop the kids off here. You get cars that fly by. Now the street signs provide another level of security for the kids.” Consequently, Williams’s nonprofit is about more than driving the provision of more street signs to help kids with autism. PEEA hosts free, year-round education, and recreation programs for families living with autism. It also organizes food, clothing, and other essential distributions, and provides helpful resources that the community can use to build children’s confidence and independence, and raise their awareness. 4. What is Williams’s goal of installing special street signs? A. To provide directions for lost drivers. B. To improve autistic children’s safety. C. To beautify the streets in Philadelphia. D. To make traffic better in the rush hour. 5. How can families request the installation of special street signs? A. By sending a letter to Williams. B. By joining a nonprofit organization. C. By completing an application form online. D. By contacting the government directly. 6. What did Jamila’s words imply? A. To show the positive impact of the street signs. B. To highlight the dangers faced by autistic children. C. To emphasize the difficulty in learning road safety. D. To illustrate the challenges encountered by nonprofits. 7. What do we know about PEEA from the last paragraph? A. It is highly profitable now. B. It has expanded its service. C. It will spread to more cities. D. It mainly offers material aid. C The idea that smiling can make you feel happier has a long history. In 1872, Darwin mused about whether an emotion that was expressed would be felt more intensely than one that was repressed. Early psychologists were equally emotional about this topic in the 1880s. More than a hundred studies have been published on it, and it remains a constant theme in popular wisdom. “Smile, though your heart is aching,” sang Nat King Cole in 1954. “You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you’ll just smile.” In 2018, social psychologist Fritz Strack published a study that seemed to confirm the facial feedback hypothesis. Researchers asked participants to hold a pen in their mouths in a way that forced them either to bare their teeth in a smile-like shape or to purse their lips. To prevent participants from associating the task with the study’s real intention, they were told the research was about how people with physical disabilities perform practical tasks like writing. When shown a series of comics from The Far Side, those holding the pen with their teeth — the “smiling” group-rated the images as funnier than those who pursed their lips. This was considered an extremely important finding: even without being aware of smiling, the facial expression alone appeared to influence mood. The result was widely recognized and entered psychology textbooks. In contrast to years of support, however, 17 labs attempted to repeat the pen study in 2025 — and all lacked success. 8. What does the underlined word “repressed” mean in Para. 1? A. Controlled. B. Tolerated. C. Recognized. D. Appreciated. 9. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Participants were physically disabled. B. Researchers didn’t share their true purpose. C. Researchers didn’t show their facial feedback. D. Participants were confused about the experiment. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the result of the experiment? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Does Smiling Have Long History? B. Is the Facial Feedback Hypothesis True? C. Is Life Worthwhile If You Just Smile? D. Can Smiling Really Make You Happier? D When unethical (不道德的) behavior is criticized, demands are often met with defensiveness and denial. How can we overcome this reaction? New research by Lauren Howe, an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, identifies a way that criticism can be more effective. A series of experiments involving more than 1,400 participants shows that criticized groups are more likely to take criticism to heart when the messenger not only criticizes the groups, but also shows concern for the issues that the criticized groups themselves face. When criticizing groups, messengers often address the group by pointing out how the group is causing harm to another group and asking them to change their ways. “What messengers may not realize is that when a person accuses a group of causing harm like this, right away, members of the group may believe that the messenger views their group as immoral and does not care about their outcomes,” Howe explains. “We find in our research that when messages include dual (双重的) concern by expressing concern for the group that is criticized while still accusing the group of causing harm, it reduces this problematic inference, and thus dual concern messages are more effective at encouraging members of a group to agree with the criticism of their own group.” The research tested the idea in campaigns: Participants read a poster advocating stopping prejudice against a group with whom they personally disagreed. The poster led participants to agree 8.6% more strongly that their disfavored group faced unfair and specific prejudices when the poster conveyed that the advocates also were concerned about the prejudices that many other groups faced. What the research shows, Howe summarizes, is that criticism works better when it is done with care. She suggests, “When messengers point out harm or wrongdoing, they might consider what challenges the group that they are accusing of harm faces.” Messengers may want to acknowledge these challenges, if appropriate, to signal to their audience that they are not dismissed as immoral. As messengers raise their voices to criticize one group for harming another group, their arguments are more persuasive when they emphasize concern for the criticized group. 12. What does the study by Lauren Howe mainly focus on? A. The impact of public criticism on individuals. B. The strategies for making criticism more effective. C. The effectiveness of public criticism in changing behavior. D. The importance of reducing defensive reactions to criticism. 13. Why might dual concern messages be useful? A. They focus on the benefits of changing behavior. B. They make the criticized group feel more powerful. C. They highlight the harm caused by the criticized group. D. They reduce the perceived moral judgment of the messenger. 14. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 4? A. How the researchers tested their idea. B. What the participants faced in criticism. C. How criticism helped participants in life. D. Why most participants couldn’t handle criticism. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Bitter criticism is much more effective. B. The harm caused by criticism is unavoidable. C. Expressing concern can make criticism more persuasive. D. Messengers should avoid criticizing groups facing challenges. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, then around industry. But something else is becoming more important in today’s world: information. ____16____ And the technology that we use to do this is called information—hour news, e-commerce, international communication, mobile phones, global positioning systems. All these are making the world smaller and faster. The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country develop, or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease. It is starting a real global village, where people only dreamed of a generation ago. ____17____ Billions of people cannot read those words because they do not have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either—the language that around half of the information on the Internet is written in. They don’t even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority. The contrast between countries that have information technology and those that don’t is called the “digital divide”. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use Information and Communication technologies. ____18____ The United Nations is trying to make the information society a reality for more of the world’s developing world. ____19____ It wants to see rich countries share their technology and knowledge to poorer nations. This will improve business, medicine, science and agriculture, and create new opportunities and employment. At the same time, cultures, languages and traditions will become stronger. World internet use has been growing massively—by about a billion users every five years—and now nearly half of the world is connected to the Internet. But does information come with freedom? ____20____ Information is power, so who will people share it? Doesn’t more information mean fewer jobs? And how can most of the world’s people keep local cultures alive if most of them are only connected to broadband and outside media in one language? A. The digital divide will soon disappear completely. B. It focuses on sharing technology, care and education. C. Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few. D. There are still many questions about the information age. E. Information is flowing around the world every hour of every day. F. What about the impact of information on different aspects of life? G. But can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances? 第二部分：完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Having eased my way into the parking lot, I looked through the crowd, but couldn’t find the ____21____ face.

She had a common name, but I ____28____ found her photo, with signature broad smile. I ____29____ her, saying how much I’d missed her over the past decade... Finally, I suggested meeting up. When I didn’t hear back, I figured she had something ____30____ in mind. But then she finally reached out, and we ____31____ this lunch. After my third cup of coffee, I ____32____ myself to the fact that Teresa wasn’t coming. No call, no message — maybe it was too late to ____33____ the friendship.
