The manager couldn’t give me a clear date for when it would be ready. It wasn’t due to a parts or supply chain issue but because of a severe shortage of skilled auto technicians. This is part of a larger worker shortage crisis affecting many labor trades. Several factors contribute to the current crisis. The shift toward a post-industrial society in the 1970s, followed by the digital age, designed a labor market that prized office jobs and devalued manual (体力的) labor and industrial work. Besides, since the 1960s, parents and educators have pushed students toward colleges. Trade school education was no longer presented as an option. Moreover, most skilled workers today are older and fewer young people have been entering skilled trades. It’s expected that 41% of this aging workforce will retire by 2031, leaving a substantial replacement gap. Certainly, we cannot push our youth toward trade schools simply by telling them there’s a labor shortage crisis. But we can trust that young people and their parents will do the math. First, wages are higher than expected. Trade jobs in construction and plumbing (管道工程) are among the highest-paying today, with annual mean wages of $83,880 for carpenters (木工) and $93,080 for plumbers. Besides, the other side of the story also deserves some attention. Skilled labor jobs must be performed in person, making them resistant to automation and AI. And the pleasure of working with one’s hands, combined with problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, provides rewarding work. My car repair story made me take a closer look at trade school education. The four-year college path should no longer be seen as the only route to success. Trade school education can also lead to brilliant careers. We need to recognize the essential value of skilled labor trades. Without them, our everyday lives and our economy struggle to run smoothly. 4. What delayed the car repair? A. A lack of experienced mechanics. B. The vehicle’s damage severity. C. A shortage of auto parts and supplies. D. The manager’s inability to schedule repairs. 5. What does the underlined phrase “do the math” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Calculate exact salary figures. B. Make decisions based on facts. C. Study mathematics in trade schools. D. Worry about future job prospects. 6. How does the author develop Paragraph 4? A. By listing multiple advantages of trade jobs. B. By analyzing causes and effects of a phenomenon. C. By making comparisons between different careers. D. By presenting pros and cons of taking up trade jobs. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards trade school education? A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Appreciative. D. Pessimistic. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了熟练技术工人短缺的危机，分析了其原因，并指出职业技术教育同样能通向成功的职业生涯。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My car, involved in a minor accident, had been sitting in the repair shop for nearly a month. The manager couldn’t give me a clear date for when it would be ready. It wasn’t due to a parts or supply chain issue but because of a severe shortage of skilled auto technicians. (我的车因为一场小事故，已经在修理厂放了将近一个月。经理无法给我一个明确的取车日期。这并非因为零件或供应链问题，而是因为熟练汽修技师的严重短缺)”可知，汽车维修被延误是因为缺乏经验丰富的机械师。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But we can trust that young people and their parents will do the math. (但我们可以相信，年轻人——以及他们的父母——会do the math)”以及后文列举的技工薪资高、不易被自动化取代等事实可知，此处意为“根据事实做出判断/权衡利弊”。故划线短语意为“根据事实做决定”，与“Make decisions based on facts”同义。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“First, wages are higher than expected. Trade jobs in construction and plumbing (管道工程) are among the highest-paying today, with annual mean wages of $83,880 for carpenters (木工) and $93,080 for plumbers. Besides, the other side of the story also deserves some attention. Skilled labor jobs must be performed in person, making them resistant to automation and AI. And the pleasure of working with one’s hands, combined with problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, provides rewarding work. (首先，工资高于预期。建筑和管道工程领域的技术工作是当今收入最高的工作之一，木工的年平均工资为83,880美元，管道工为93,080美元。此外，事情的另一面也值得关注。熟练劳动工作必须亲自完成，这使得它们不易被自动化和人工智能取代。而动手工作的乐趣，加上解决问题和批判性思维的技能，提供了有回报的工作)”可知，第四段列举了技术工作的多个优势：薪资高于预期、不易被自动化取代、带来动手工作的乐趣和成就感等。因此，本段通过列举技术工作的多个优势来展开。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The four-year college path should no longer be seen as the only route to success. Trade school education can also lead to brilliant careers. We need to recognize the essential value of skilled labor trades. (四年制大学道路不应再被视为通往成功的唯一途径。职业技术教育也能通向辉煌的职业生涯。我们需要认识到熟练技术行业的根本价值)”可推知，作者对职业技术教育持欣赏、肯定的态度。 C We live in challenging times. Life-giving forests burn and oceans choke on waste. Yet, these realities don’t mean the world is ending. Nature itself offers models of connection and healing. Consider the mushroom, which uses its mycelia (菌丝)to link itself to the roots of nearby plants, trees, and other fungi (真菌)— and in the process connects each to the other. The presence of fungal mycelia allows nearby trees to communicate across distances, warning other trees, even those of different species, of the presence of attacking insects, thereby signaling the production of biochemical defenses. Almost magically, trees use mycelia to transfer essential nutrients, sustaining the life and health of not only those trees but the entire local ecosystem. Fungal mycelia also naturally break down harmful pollutants, creating cleaner, safer, and healthier land and water. If a life-form seemingly as simple as a mushroom can reach out to other species to do any or all of these things — self-organize, connect, communicate, assist, protect, defend, heal, and restore — why couldn’t humans? After all, we too belong to nature. Perhaps intelligent interdependence is our natural gift, one we can embrace, enhance, and strengthen in service of our own species, and all others. In fact, the refusal to honor our interdependence and enact healthy and sustained relations has caused no end of suffering. Thus, what should we do to tackle the challenges we face in the new era? To construct a sufficiently innovative response, we must learn to look at things from a holistic (整体的)perspective. It is time to bridge East and West: to marry the wisdom of our ancient spiritual traditions to contemporary science. As we apply scientific insight to understand modern social ills, we can better integrate such information with practices. In this way, we may awaken to and further develop our most natural biological gifts: the powers to self-organize, connect, communicate, assist, protect, defend, heal, and restore. 8. What is a key role of fungal mycelia? A. Killing attacking insects. B. Repairing damaged roots. C. Producing plant nutrients. D. Delivering warning signals. 9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A. To describe how fungi sustain a balanced ecosystem. B. To suggest humans can follow nature’s support model. C. To explain the principle of natural ecosystem restoration. D. To prove humans are born with higher social intelligence. 10. What approach does the author propose to deal with modern challenges? A. Abandon out-of-date thinking modes. B. Use science to reshape human biological gifts. C. Rely on spiritual traditions to find all solutions. D. Combine ancient wisdom with modern science. 11. In which column of a magazine will you most probably find this article? A. Technology. B. Agriculture. C. Opinion. D. Nature. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章以真菌菌丝的联通、互助、修复自然功能为例，呼吁人类借鉴自然模式，结合古今智慧应对时代环境与发展挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The presence of fungal mycelia allows nearby trees to communicate across distances, warning other trees, even those of different species, of the presence of attacking insects, thereby signaling the production of biochemical defenses.(真菌菌丝的存在让附近的树木可以远距离交流，提醒其他树木，甚至不同种类的树木，有来袭昆虫出没，从而发出信号，促使树木产生生化防御物质)”可知，真菌菌丝的关键作用是传递预警信号。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“If a life-form seemingly as simple as a mushroom can reach out to other species to do any or all of these things — self-organize, connect, communicate, assist, protect, defend, heal, and restore — why couldn’t humans?(如果蘑菇这样看似简单的生命体能够与其他物种互通协作，完成自我组织、联结、交流、协助、保护、防御、治愈和修复等一系列行为，人类为何不能做到呢？)”可知，作者列举真菌的自然协作模式，旨在建议人类效仿自然的互助共生模式。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“It is time to bridge East and West: to marry the wisdom of our ancient spiritual traditions to contemporary science.(现在是时候贯通东西方，将古老精神传统的智慧与当代科学相结合)”可知，作者提出的应对现代挑战的方法是结合古老智慧与现代科学。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕自然共生现象展开论述，提出人类应对时代挑战的观点与主张，属于个人观点评论类文章，最可能出现在杂志的评论专栏。 D A curious aspect of human nature, the Pratfall Effect suggests that our imperfections might be the key to winning hearts and minds. This psychological principle challenges the idea that perfection is the ultimate goal in social interactions. Instead, it proposes that a well-timed mistake can make us more likable and relatable. First identified by social psychologist Elliot Aronson in the 1960s, the Pratfall Effect was demonstrated in an experiment where participants listened to recordings of individuals answering difficult quiz questions. In one condition, the highly competent individual was heard accidentally to make a slip of the tongue. Surprisingly, this “clumsy” version was rated as more likable than the same individual who made no mistake. Why does this effect occur? It’s driven by our desire for relatability and our tendency to feel uncomfortable around those who seem too perfect. When we encounter someone who appears perfect, our brains often go into comparison mode, leading to feelings of inadequacy or distance. But when they make a minor mistake, they become more human — and more likable. This shift in perception is closely tied to cognitive dissonance (认知失调). When we hold conflicting beliefs, it creates discomfort. In the case of the Pratfall Effect, the dissonance arises from our admiration for someone’s competence and our desire to relate to them. A minor mistake helps resolve this tension, allowing us to maintain our positive view of the person while feeling connected. In today’s digital age, where social media promotes perfection, the effect becomes even more powerful. The constant pressure to present an idealized version of ourselves online can lead to “comparison fatigue (疲劳)”. We’re flooded with highlight videos of others’ lives, which can make our own seem lacking in comparison. When influencers or peers share moments of imperfection, it can be incredibly refreshing and relatable. Ultimately, the Pratfall Effect serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity. It tells us that it’s not our perfection that draws others to us, but our willingness to be real, to be vulnerable, and to connect on a genuine human level. 12. Which of the following is most likely to cause the Pratfall Effect? A. A gifted athlete’s comfortable win in a tournament. B. A small kid locks himself outside the house by chance. C. An excellent singer’s sudden voice crack during a concert. D. An ordinary teenager successfully scores a goal in a football match. 13. What is the psychological mechanism behind the Pratfall Effect? A. The need to appear perfect. B. The desire to connect with others. C. The respect for competence. D. The fear of being judged for mistakes. 14. Why does the Pratfall Effect become more powerful in the digital age? A. Internet culture values genuineness over perfection. B. Refreshing highlight videos attract attention more quickly. C. It is easier for people to find faults with others on the Internet. D. Social media’s advocating perfection brings about comparison fatigue. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Pratfall Effect: The Unexpected Magic of Imperfection B. The Pratfall Effect: The Hidden Burden of Social Interaction C. Cognitive Dissonance: The Disastrous Power of Digital Discomfort D. Cognitive Dissonance: The Unavoidable Consequence of Comparison 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了失态效应的定义、实验依据、心理机制，阐释其在数字时代的作用，并点明不完美的真实特质更易拉近人际距离。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Instead, it proposes that a well-timed mistake can make us more likable and relatable.(相反，它提出适时的失误可以让我们更讨人喜欢、更接地气)”以及第二段“In one condition, the highly competent individual was heard accidentally to make a slip of the tongue. Surprisingly, this “clumsy” version was rated as more likable than the same individual who made no mistake.(在一种情境中，一位能力极强的人意外说错了话。令人惊讶的是，这个“笨拙”的形象比毫无失误的同一个人更受人喜爱)”可知，失态效应指优秀的人出现小失误会更受欢迎。C选项“一名优秀歌手演唱会突然破音”是优秀人群的适时小失误，符合该效应。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s driven by our desire for relatability and our tendency to feel uncomfortable around those who seem too perfect.(它是由我们渴望共情共鸣，以及在看似过于完美的人身边会感到不自在的心理趋势所驱动的)”可知，失态效应的心理机制是人们想要与他人建立联结、产生共鸣的心理。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In today’s digital age, where social media promotes perfection, the effect becomes even more powerful. The constant pressure to present an idealized version of ourselves online can lead to “comparison fatigue”.(在社交媒体推崇完美的当今数字时代，这一效应变得更加强大。在网络上展示理想化自我的持续压力会引发“比较疲劳”)”可知，社交媒体宣扬完美，引发人们的比较疲劳，让失态效应的作用愈发显著。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A curious aspect of human nature, the Pratfall Effect suggests that our imperfections might be the key to winning hearts and minds. This psychological principle challenges the idea that perfection is the ultimate goal in social interactions. Instead, it proposes that a well-timed mistake can make us more likable and relatable.(作为人性的一个奇妙特点，失态效应表明我们的不完美或许是赢得人心的关键。这一心理学原理挑战了完美是社交终极目标的观点。相反，它提出适时的失误可以让我们更讨人喜欢、更接地气)”以及最后一段“Ultimately, the Pratfall Effect serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity. It tells us that it’s not our perfection that draws others to us, but our willingness to be real, to be vulnerable, and to connect on a genuine human level.(归根结底，失态效应有力地提醒着我们共通的人性。它告诉我们，吸引他人的并非我们的完美，而是我们敢于真实、敢于示弱、以真诚的人性维度建立联结的本心)”可知，全文围绕失态效应展开，讲述不完美带来的意外积极影响。A选项“失态效应：不完美所具有的意想不到的魔力”概括全文主旨，适合作为文章标题。 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。 Microplastics are everywhere in the food system, and plastic kitchenware (厨具)is a major source of pollution at home. By one estimate, we on average swallow about 3.8m microplastics annually, many through food. The possible health impacts of microplastic exposure are still coming into focus, but some research has linked them to increased risk of heart attack, for instance. ____16____ Below are some practical principles to guide you. You can’t avoid microplastics completely. Some plastic will almost certainly end up in your food, no matter what you do. ___17___ Instead, prioritize the easiest steps you can take to avoid the chemicals, like replacing plastic kitchenware with items made with safer alternatives, such as wood and stainless steel. ____18____ The level at which plastic gets into hot substances can be rather astonishing. Single-use paper coffee cups can release trillions of bits of plastic when hot liquid is added. Similarly, tea bags can release billions of particles, and microwavable plastic is also a problem. Reduce plastic, even if you can’t totally avoid it. For years, I used a blender (搅拌器)with a big plastic jar to make my morning milkshake, and it recently dawned on me that I was probably getting more plastic than wanted in my milkshake but I couldn’t find any plastic-free blenders. It seems a universal practice to use plastic to make them. ____19____ I ended up switching to a blender with a glass jar. ____20____ Most household appliances still have some plastic components. In some cases, this is the best version that can be done with the current technology, and that’s OK. A. Avoid heating plastic products. B. Don’t attempt to get rid of every last one. C. Replace all plastic products with glass ones. D. However, this doesn’t mean I could do nothing. E. With this in mind, it is wise for you to reduce exposure. F. You might face the same dilemma when choosing other items. G. It is time for us to push for complete removal of plastic products. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了食品系统中遍布微塑料，塑料厨具是家庭污染主要来源，微塑料摄入会带来健康隐患，并介绍了几条减少微塑料摄入、降低危害的实用原则。 【16题详解】 上文“The possible health impacts of microplastic exposure are still coming into focus, but some research has linked them to increased risk of heart attack, for instance.(接触微塑料对健康的影响仍在进一步研究中，但已有研究证实其会增加心脏病的发病风险)”介绍了微塑料对人体的健康危害，E选项“With this in mind, it is wise for you to reduce exposure.(考虑到这一点，减少微塑料的接触是明智之举)”承接上文微塑料的危害，自然引出下文“Below are some practical principles to guide you.(以下是一些可供参考的实用原则)”，起到承上启下的作用。 【17题详解】 上文“You can’t avoid microplastics completely. Some plastic will almost certainly end up in your food, no matter what you do.(你无法完全避开微塑料。无论如何，总会有一些微塑料进入你的食物中)”说明微塑料无法完全规避，下文“Instead, prioritize the easiest steps you can take to avoid the chemicals.(相反，优先采取最简单的措施来规避这类化学物质)”语义转折，强调无需彻底清除微塑料、只需做好基础防护。B选项“Don’t attempt to get rid of every last one.(不要试图清除掉所有微塑料)”承接上文无法完全规避微塑料的内容，与下文转折内容呼应，逻辑连贯。 【18题详解】 设空处为段落主旨句，需概括本段核心内容。下文“The level at which plastic gets into hot substances can be rather astonishing. Single-use paper coffee cups can release trillions of bits of plastic when hot liquid is added.(塑料进入高温物质中的含量高得惊人。一次性纸杯倒入热水后会释放数万亿个塑料微粒)”阐述塑料制品遇高温会释放大量有害微塑料。A选项“Avoid heating plastic products.(避免加热塑料制品)”贴合段落核心内容，引出下文内容。 【19题详解】 上文“For years, I used a blender with a big plastic jar to make my morning milkshake, and it recently dawned on me that I was probably getting more plastic than wanted in my milkshake but I couldn’t find any plastic-free blenders.(多年来，我一直使用塑料杯搅拌器制作晨间奶昔，我最近意识到奶昔中会混入过量微塑料，却找不到无塑料材质的搅拌器)”讲述作者面临的塑料用品使用困境，D选项“However, this doesn’t mean I could do nothing.(但这并不意味着我束手无策)”与上文困境形成转折，引出下文“I ended up switching to a blender with a glass jar.(我最终换成了玻璃内胆的搅拌器)”这一解决办法，上下文逻辑通顺。 【20题详解】 上段末句“I ended up switching to a blender with a glass jar.(我最终换成了玻璃内胆的搅拌器)”讲述作者解决自身塑料使用困境的做法，下文“Most household appliances still have some plastic components.(大多数家用电器仍然含有一些塑料部件)”延伸说明各类家电普遍存在塑料部件的普遍现状。F选项“You might face the same dilemma when choosing other items.(你在选择其他物品时可能也会遇到同样的困境)”承接作者的个人经历，由个体延伸到普遍情况，衔接后文家居用品含塑料的现状。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Hello, this is your captain speaking.

But now he faced a situation that could collapse his future. Two weeks ago, Stash Bilesky, his English teacher, had asked the class to do reports on books he recommended. To help each student better understand the book they got, Mr Bilesky also listed some articles for reference. Having taken a quick glance at the author of the assigned book — Leonard Bernstein, Tom put the book into the drawer and left, thinking he had more important things to do. Not a big fan of the art world, Tom had no taste at all for the great composer and classical music. As the deadline approached, he decided to take the easy way around the book report. He copied a ready-made summary from the Internet, used AI for polishing and handed it in. In today’s English class, Mr Bilesky handed out everyone’s report and made comments on some students’ excellent works. Tom waited anxiously for the “A” grade, thinking his report would stand out. However, confidence transformed into fear when Tom found everyone except him had received their corrected book reports back from Mr Bilesky. After class, Mr Bilesky asked Tom to come over. “Mr Potenski, we have something serious to discuss. Please come to my office after school,” Mr Bilesky said. For the next two classes, Tom had no mind for the lecture, fearing the severe punishment he might face. The instant school was over, Tom dragged himself towards his teacher’s office, with butterflies in his stomach. “Had Mr Bilesky discovered my act of plagiarism (抄袭)? Would this ruin my chances of a somewhat promising career? Would I be trading university classes for working in a rice field?...” After an intense mental struggle, Tom took a deep breath and knocked at the door. “Please come in,” said Mr Bilesky. 注意： 1．续写词数为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Was your report written by you independently?” asked Mr Bilesky politely. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For the next week, Tom put his heart and soul into writing his own report. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】（one possible version） “Was your report written by you independently?” asked Mr Bilesky politely. Tom’s cheeks burned with shame as he hung his head and admitted his plagiarism. He explained that having no interest in classical music, he had chosen to copy others’ works instead of reading the book seriously. Mr Bilesky praised Tom for his honesty, but also emphasized that a genuine attitude towards learning far outweighs all the other things. Overwhelmed with guilt, Tom sincerely apologized to Mr Bilesky and then actively requested a second chance. Seeing Tom’s determination, Mr Bilesky decided to give him a one-week extension for completing the report on his own. For the next week, Tom put his heart and soul into writing his own report. He read the recommended book thoroughly and even watched recordings of Bernstein’s concerts online. Much to his amazement, he found himself gradually drawn by the composer’s passion and dedication to music. Eventually, Tom handed in his report on time. After reading the rewritten report, Mr Bilesky remarked that while there was still room for improvement in language expression, Tom’s independent thinking and original insights clearly shone through. Tom expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his teacher, having truly learned that true learning and progress arise from one’s own down-to-earth efforts, not from taking shortcuts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤姆因不喜欢古典音乐，投机取巧抄袭并借助AI润色完成读书报告，被老师发现约谈后主动认错，获得重写机会，踏实完成写作并领悟学习真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句可知，后文可描写汤姆羞愧认错，坦白自己抄袭作弊的原因，以及老师并未严厉批评，而是肯定其诚实、端正其学习态度，并给予重写报告的机会。 ②由第二段首句可知，后文可描写汤姆认真研读书籍、主动拓展相关资料、潜心完成报告，最终得到老师认可，并彻底醒悟学习不能投机取巧的道理。 2. 续写线索 羞愧认错、坦白作弊缘由——老师教诲并给予重写机会——潜心研读书籍、主动拓展学习——认真完成原创报告——获得老师认可——领悟脚踏实地学习、拒绝投机取巧的道理 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①表扬：praise/compliment ②评论：remark/comment 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/conscience ②真诚的：heartfelt/sincere 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mr Bilesky praised Tom for his honesty, but also emphasized that a genuine attitude towards learning far outweighs all the other things.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】 Tom expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his teacher, having truly learned that true learning and progress arise from one’s own down-to-earth efforts, not from taking shortcuts.（运用了现在分词的完成式having learned作状语，以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．What does the woman want to do?

The manager couldn’t give me a clear date for when it would be ready. It wasn’t due to a parts or supply chain issue but because of a severe shortage of skilled auto technicians. This is part of a larger worker shortage crisis affecting many labor trades. Several factors contribute to the current crisis. The shift toward a post-industrial society in the 1970s, followed by the digital age, designed a labor market that prized office jobs and devalued manual (体力的) labor and industrial work. Besides, since the 1960s, parents and educators have pushed students toward colleges. Trade school education was no longer presented as an option. Moreover, most skilled workers today are older and fewer young people have been entering skilled trades. It’s expected that 41% of this aging workforce will retire by 2031, leaving a substantial replacement gap. Certainly, we cannot push our youth toward trade schools simply by telling them there’s a labor shortage crisis. But we can trust that young people and their parents will do the math. First, wages are higher than expected. Trade jobs in construction and plumbing (管道工程) are among the highest-paying today, with annual mean wages of $83,880 for carpenters (木工) and $93,080 for plumbers. Besides, the other side of the story also deserves some attention. Skilled labor jobs must be performed in person, making them resistant to automation and AI. And the pleasure of working with one’s hands, combined with problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, provides rewarding work. My car repair story made me take a closer look at trade school education. The four-year college path should no longer be seen as the only route to success. Trade school education can also lead to brilliant careers. We need to recognize the essential value of skilled labor trades. Without them, our everyday lives and our economy struggle to run smoothly. 4. What delayed the car repair? A. A lack of experienced mechanics. B. The vehicle’s damage severity. C. A shortage of auto parts and supplies. D. The manager’s inability to schedule repairs. 5. What does the underlined phrase “do the math” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Calculate exact salary figures. B. Make decisions based on facts. C. Study mathematics in trade schools. D. Worry about future job prospects. 6. How does the author develop Paragraph 4? A. By listing multiple advantages of trade jobs. B. By analyzing causes and effects of a phenomenon. C. By making comparisons between different careers. D. By presenting pros and cons of taking up trade jobs. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards trade school education? A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Appreciative. D. Pessimistic. C We live in challenging times. Life-giving forests burn and oceans choke on waste. Yet, these realities don’t mean the world is ending. Nature itself offers models of connection and healing. Consider the mushroom, which uses its mycelia (菌丝)to link itself to the roots of nearby plants, trees, and other fungi (真菌)— and in the process connects each to the other. The presence of fungal mycelia allows nearby trees to communicate across distances, warning other trees, even those of different species, of the presence of attacking insects, thereby signaling the production of biochemical defenses. Almost magically, trees use mycelia to transfer essential nutrients, sustaining the life and health of not only those trees but the entire local ecosystem. Fungal mycelia also naturally break down harmful pollutants, creating cleaner, safer, and healthier land and water. If a life-form seemingly as simple as a mushroom can reach out to other species to do any or all of these things — self-organize, connect, communicate, assist, protect, defend, heal, and restore — why couldn’t humans? After all, we too belong to nature. Perhaps intelligent interdependence is our natural gift, one we can embrace, enhance, and strengthen in service of our own species, and all others. In fact, the refusal to honor our interdependence and enact healthy and sustained relations has caused no end of suffering. Thus, what should we do to tackle the challenges we face in the new era? To construct a sufficiently innovative response, we must learn to look at things from a holistic (整体的)perspective. It is time to bridge East and West: to marry the wisdom of our ancient spiritual traditions to contemporary science. As we apply scientific insight to understand modern social ills, we can better integrate such information with practices. In this way, we may awaken to and further develop our most natural biological gifts: the powers to self-organize, connect, communicate, assist, protect, defend, heal, and restore. 8. What is a key role of fungal mycelia? A. Killing attacking insects. B. Repairing damaged roots. C. Producing plant nutrients. D. Delivering warning signals. 9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A. To describe how fungi sustain a balanced ecosystem. B. To suggest humans can follow nature’s support model. C. To explain the principle of natural ecosystem restoration. D. To prove humans are born with higher social intelligence. 10. What approach does the author propose to deal with modern challenges? A. Abandon out-of-date thinking modes. B. Use science to reshape human biological gifts. C. Rely on spiritual traditions to find all solutions. D. Combine ancient wisdom with modern science. 11. In which column of a magazine will you most probably find this article? A. Technology. B. Agriculture. C. Opinion. D. Nature. D A curious aspect of human nature, the Pratfall Effect suggests that our imperfections might be the key to winning hearts and minds. This psychological principle challenges the idea that perfection is the ultimate goal in social interactions. Instead, it proposes that a well-timed mistake can make us more likable and relatable. First identified by social psychologist Elliot Aronson in the 1960s, the Pratfall Effect was demonstrated in an experiment where participants listened to recordings of individuals answering difficult quiz questions. In one condition, the highly competent individual was heard accidentally to make a slip of the tongue. Surprisingly, this “clumsy” version was rated as more likable than the same individual who made no mistake. Why does this effect occur? It’s driven by our desire for relatability and our tendency to feel uncomfortable around those who seem too perfect. When we encounter someone who appears perfect, our brains often go into comparison mode, leading to feelings of inadequacy or distance. But when they make a minor mistake, they become more human — and more likable. This shift in perception is closely tied to cognitive dissonance (认知失调). When we hold conflicting beliefs, it creates discomfort. In the case of the Pratfall Effect, the dissonance arises from our admiration for someone’s competence and our desire to relate to them. A minor mistake helps resolve this tension, allowing us to maintain our positive view of the person while feeling connected. In today’s digital age, where social media promotes perfection, the effect becomes even more powerful. The constant pressure to present an idealized version of ourselves online can lead to “comparison fatigue (疲劳)”. We’re flooded with highlight videos of others’ lives, which can make our own seem lacking in comparison. When influencers or peers share moments of imperfection, it can be incredibly refreshing and relatable. Ultimately, the Pratfall Effect serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity. It tells us that it’s not our perfection that draws others to us, but our willingness to be real, to be vulnerable, and to connect on a genuine human level. 12.

But now he faced a situation that could collapse his future. Two weeks ago, Stash Bilesky, his English teacher, had asked the class to do reports on books he recommended. To help each student better understand the book they got, Mr Bilesky also listed some articles for reference. Having taken a quick glance at the author of the assigned book — Leonard Bernstein, Tom put the book into the drawer and left, thinking he had more important things to do. Not a big fan of the art world, Tom had no taste at all for the great composer and classical music. As the deadline approached, he decided to take the easy way around the book report. He copied a ready-made summary from the Internet, used AI for polishing and handed it in. In today’s English class, Mr Bilesky handed out everyone’s report and made comments on some students’ excellent works. Tom waited anxiously for the “A” grade, thinking his report would stand out. However, confidence transformed into fear when Tom found everyone except him had received their corrected book reports back from Mr Bilesky. After class, Mr Bilesky asked Tom to come over. “Mr Potenski, we have something serious to discuss. Please come to my office after school,” Mr Bilesky said. For the next two classes, Tom had no mind for the lecture, fearing the severe punishment he might face. The instant school was over, Tom dragged himself towards his teacher’s office, with butterflies in his stomach. “Had Mr Bilesky discovered my act of plagiarism (抄袭)? Would this ruin my chances of a somewhat promising career? Would I be trading university classes for working in a rice field?...” After an intense mental struggle, Tom took a deep breath and knocked at the door. “Please come in,” said Mr Bilesky. 注意： 1．续写词数为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Was your report written by you independently?” asked Mr Bilesky politely. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For the next week, Tom put his heart and soul into writing his own report. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
