D
①Many people think that language makes humans different from other animals. Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher, said in 1948 that people couldn’t think without language.
②However, a recent study shows that language and thinking are actually “much more independent (独立的)” than we believed.
③The study by scientists from the US tried to find out the language-thinking relationship in two ways. First, they studied people with global aphasia (完全失语症). Although they are almost unable to understand or speak, they can still finish hard tasks. “They can even solve math problems as long as the orders are non-verbal (非语言的),” Evelina Fedorenko told ZME Science.
④The researchers also used brain-imaging (脑成像) to study the brains of healthy people. When they were working on non-verbal tasks like planning, the language parts of their brains were mostly not working.
⑤So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans create and keep using it? That’s because language plays an important part in communication (沟通).
⑥“Most of the time, you learned about the world through language, not through your real experience with the world,” Fedorenko said. Without enough time to go everywhere themselves, humans have to share information with the help of language to learn more about the world.
⑦Although we don’t need language to think, the way we speak can greatly decide how we think. For example, “He fired the gun.” in English is usually expressed as “The gun went off.” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to care about the person, not the tool, than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today.
22. According to the passage, what might a man with global aphasia be able to do?
①learn a foreign language ②work as a teacher ③tell kids stories
④use a pen ⑤work out a math problem ⑥cry or laugh
A. ①③⑤ B. ③④⑤ C. ④⑤⑥ D. ②⑤⑥
23. Which idea do you think the writer will agree with?
A. Different languages will make people think the same way.
B. Speaking more languages can make people become smarter.
C. The language parts of the brain work for tasks like planning.
D. Language makes it easier for humans to learn about the world.
24. What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
25. Which of the following is similar to the role of language in thinking?
A. Water to fish: without water, fish will not be able to live.
B. A map to a trip: a map is helpful but not necessary during a trip.
C. Summer to winter: they won’t show up together in the same place.
D. Two keys to the same door: the two keys can take each other’s place.
【答案】22. C 23. D 24. A 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了语言和思维之间的关系,介绍了相关研究及结论,包括语言和思维在大脑中独立工作、语言主要用于交流以及语言对思维有影响等内容。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据“First, they studied people with global aphasia (完全失语症). Although they are almost unable to understand or speak, they can still finish hard tasks. “They can even solve math problems as long as the orders are non-verbal”可知,患有完全失语症的人可以完成艰巨的任务,只要命令是非语言的。所以一个患有完全失语症的人能使用钢笔、解一道数学题以及哭或笑,④⑤⑥符合题意。故选C。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Most of the time, you learned about the world through language, not through your real experience with the world”可知,语言使人类更容易了解世界。故选D。
【24题详解】
篇章结构题。第①段先提出语言和思维的关系;第②段指出研究表明,语言和思维实际上比我们想象的“更加独立”,接着第③④段从语言和思维在大脑中独立工作的角度论述,第⑤⑥段从语言在沟通中起着重要作用的角度进行论述;第⑦段指出,语言对思维有影响。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据“So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans create and keep using it? That’s because language plays an important part in communication”可知,语言在思维中起辅助作用,并非唯一决定因素。选项B“旅行地图:在旅行中,地图是有帮助的,但不是必需的。”与之相似。故选B。
三、信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)

六、阅读短文,回答问题。(共3小题;分别为2、2、3分,满分7分)
Reading a good book is a wonderful journey because the reader can live in someone else’s world for a while. Reading together with others, known as buddy (同伴) reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading, but also deepens their understanding of the books.
Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a program and has achieved a great success.
Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year reading program. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and patient. This experience also provided them with a chance to practice lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone.
The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway.
Now summer vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together?
54. What is buddy reading?

Movie “731” Remember History, Treasure Peace

The film is set during World War II. It tells the true story of Japan’s Unit 731. This army unit did terrible human experiments (实验) on people in Harbin. The movie shows how Chinese people suffered (忍受) and fought against the Japanese.
The movie is hoped to get a wonderful screening rate of 99.7% on its opening day. Millions of people have showed interest in watching it. Its popularity comes from two main reasons: First, it helps us remember a painful part of history that we must not forget. Second, 2025 is the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, which makes people think more about history.
This movie serves as an important educational tool that teaches us to value peace. However, because of some scary and bloody pictures, the film is recommended (推荐) for viewers above 18 years old.
Younger viewers should watch it with parents.
Remembering history doesn’t mean holding onto hatred (仇恨). It means we treasure peace and life even more. This film is more than just a movie; it’s a history lesson for everyone.

A. October 1, 2025. B. July 31, 2025. C. September 18, 2025. D. August 15, 2025.

①Many people think that language makes humans different from other animals. Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher, said in 1948 that people couldn’t think without language.
②However, a recent study shows that language and thinking are actually “much more independent (独立的)” than we believed.
③The study by scientists from the US tried to find out the language-thinking relationship in two ways. First, they studied people with global aphasia (完全失语症). Although they are almost unable to understand or speak, they can still finish hard tasks. “They can even solve math problems as long as the orders are non-verbal (非语言的),” Evelina Fedorenko told ZME Science.
④The researchers also used brain-imaging (脑成像) to study the brains of healthy people. When they were working on non-verbal tasks like planning, the language parts of their brains were mostly not working.
⑤So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans create and keep using it? That’s because language plays an important part in communication (沟通).
⑥“Most of the time, you learned about the world through language, not through your real experience with the world,” Fedorenko said. Without enough time to go everywhere themselves, humans have to share information with the help of language to learn more about the world.
⑦Although we don’t need language to think, the way we speak can greatly decide how we think. For example, “He fired the gun.” in English is usually expressed as “The gun went off.” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to care about the person, not the tool, than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today.
22. According to the passage, what might a man with global aphasia be able to do?
①learn a foreign language ②work as a teacher ③tell kids stories
④use a pen ⑤work out a math problem ⑥cry or laugh
A. ①③⑤ B. ③④⑤ C. ④⑤⑥ D. ②⑤⑥
23. Which idea do you think the writer will agree with?
A. Different languages will make people think the same way.
B. Speaking more languages can make people become smarter.
C. The language parts of the brain work for tasks like planning.
D. Language makes it easier for humans to learn about the world.
24. What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
25. Which of the following is similar to the role of language in thinking?
A. Water to fish: without water, fish will not be able to live.
B. A map to a trip: a map is helpful but not necessary during a trip.
C. Summer to winter: they won’t show up together in the same place.
D. Two keys to the same door: the two keys can take each other’s place.
