Many people consider artists to be the ultimate authorities on the nature and expression of beauty. For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat ____11____ and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, “inspiration” is the breathing in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create. Of course, artists contributed to this mythology. Many artists ____12____ their talents to the presence of some supernatural power. Whole movements of art have centered on the supposedly otherworldly nature of art. For example, the Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and supernatural themes in their works. Another persistent view of art regarded its ____13____ from logic. Reason and logic were the ____14____ of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct. But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism, Newton found that white light is actually composed of all the colors of the rainbow. He even provided a scientific explanation for the ____15____ of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had taken a beautiful and magical experience and ____16____ it to the simple refraction of beams of light through the prism of a raindrop. A scientist had ventured into their ____17____ territory. More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “____18____ the rainbow.” His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not devalue the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. He also gave the world another opportunity to experience the ____19____. Newton’s discovery paved the way for the development of the science of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical ____20____ of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Drink tart cherry juice for sleepmaxxing! Add protein in everything for proteinmaxxing! Online influencers are telling you to take your health to the max with highly specific changes. “Maxing” is an online trend applied to advice for aspects of ____21____ including diet and sleep. But much of this maxing advice can be unhelpful or unhealthy or go against the steady, personalized changes many experts recommend. ____22____ requires balance When it comes to nutrition, the aim should be balance — not maxing anything, said Natalie Mokari, a dietitian based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Many online influencers are ____23____ maximizing protein and fiber, and the tendency isn’t necessarily wrong. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend adults ___24___ 22 to 34 grams of fiber daily, generally dependent on age and gender. However, more than 90% of women and 97% of men in the United States don’t meet these ____25____ according to the guidelines. The dietary changes that stand the test of time are more gradual and work with your individual needs and preferences, rather than a sudden ____26____, Mokari said. Instead of cramming protein and fiber into everything you eat, she recommends including a source of fiber and protein in your meals and snacks. Whenever you can, ____27____ sources that come straight from the food itself rather than as an additive. Slowly get more sleep It’s great that people want to ____28____ their sleep, said Dr. Rafael Pelayo, a clinical professor in the sleep medicine division at Stanford University. For too long, people who only needed a little sleep were seen as tough or hardcore. But usually, the idea of sleepmaxxing isn’t about people who have insomnia using science-based techniques to ____29____ their sleep quality — it’s about unnecessary overoptimization, Pelayo said. Much of the advice behind this trend circulates online. Not all of this information is directly ____30____ , but it is vital to check its source and evaluate whether it is genuinely useful. Most people just need to prioritize a regular sleep schedule and an environment that is cool, dark and quiet. ____31____ , anyone experiencing persistent troubling sleep symptoms ought to seek professional help. People who wake up not feeling refreshed and find they need more and more sleep over time should see a sleep doctor to make sure there isn’t an issue that needs to be ____32____ , Pelayo said. The ____33____ behind “maxing” isn’t necessarily bad. Paying more attention to consuming enough nutrients and getting good sleep is a noble effort. The problem is that you can’t “maxx” all things all the time, so necessarily something else is ____34____. For example, focusing so heavily on your protein intake may mean you aren’t getting enough vegetables. The other problem with the social media trends around health is that they focus on immediate, universal results. Social media algorithms ____35____ rapid before-and-after transformations or bold statements without depth, which can affect the way people expect things to happen for them. 21.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) The term “voluntourism” often evokes images of earnest Western youths building schools in sun-drenched, impoverished villages. I was once one of them, my motivation an ambiguous blend of altruism and a thirst for an “authentic” experience that transcended the typical tourist itinerary. My destination was a small coastal community in Southeast Asia, where I had paid a substantial fee to assist in a sea turtle conservation project for four weeks. Upon arrival, a creeping disillusionment began to set in. The project was less about hands-on conservation and more a well-orchestrated simulation for volunteers. Our days consisted of being handed rakes at dawn to meticulously level the beach, a task we were told was crucial for identifying new turtle tracks. Yet, we often saw the same tracks we had carefully smoothed over the day before, untouched. Our tasks were monotonous and of questionable utility: raking the same patch of sand repeatedly to make it appear perfectly tidy for the nesting turtles—a practice the local staff admitted was largely performative. Once, the excitement was palpable when a nest was identified; we gathered around, hoping to carefully relocate the eggs to the safer, shaded hatchery. But we were only permitted to watch from a distance. The delicate work of monitoring nests and handling hatchlings was reserved solely for the full-time, local biologists. We were mere bystanders, our presence justified more by our financial contribution than any tangible labor. The most profound unease, however, stemmed from a conversation with a soft-spoken local biologist, Mr. Tan. Over sweetened tea, he confessed, with a tone of diplomatic resignation, that the constant rotation of unskilled volunteers was often more disruptive than beneficial. “The funds are vital,” he acknowledged, “I once spent a whole morning supervising a group who were ‘building a protective fence.’ It collapsed in the first high tide. My team and I had to rebuild it properly that night. The expectation is that we must always have ‘work’ for you to do, even if we have to invent it. It sometimes distracts from our real research.” His words laid bare the uncomfortable economics of our endeavor: we were not saviors but paying customers, purchasing the illusion of purpose and a portfolio of photographs that screamed benevolent worldliness. This transactional nature of the relationship made me question the very foundation of my presence there, reducing a complex ecological and social context to a backdrop for my own moral and existential theater. I left with no illusions of having “saved the turtles.” Instead, I carried the weight of a complicated lesson: that the desire to do good is not synonymous with actually doing good, and that the most ethical form of aid might sometimes be the simplest — financial support, channeled directly to those who know best how to use it, unburdened by the need to host and entertain a rotating cast of well-meaning amateurs. The romanticized narrative of the Western savior, I realized, is a difficult one to dismantle, as it is so deeply embedded in our collective consciousness and so flattering to our own self-perception. 36. The author’s original intention in joining the program was rooted in ________. A. an urge to escape routine and pursue adventure B. a mix of selfless impulse and a quest for novelty C. external financial incentives and social obligation D. a blend of professional ambition and academic curiosity 37. What does the underlined phrase “a well-orchestrated simulation”（para. 2） imply about the volunteer project? A. It was artificially constructed for the benefit of the volunteers. B. It was structured to be both highly educational and rich in skills. C. It was a commercial enterprise exploiting volunteers financially. D. It was carefully planned to provide a safe and rewarding experience. 38. According to Mr. Tan, what was the main downside of the constant flow of volunteers? A. It gradually drained the project’s limited financial reserves. B. It generated cultural misunderstandings with the local community. C. It consumed time and manpower to create and supervise unnecessary tasks. D. It introduced persistent communication challenges that hindered real research. 39. The author’s ultimate realization can be summarized as an understanding that ________. A. personal growth is an unintended yet valuable byproduct of failed endeavors B. critiquing the flaws of international aid is a necessary step towards its reform C. effective help must prioritize local expertise and minimize disruptive interference D. well-intentioned human intervention may accidentally accelerate ecological decline (B) It’s easy to blame an achy neck and stiff shoulder on bad posture. But on many desks, experts agree, the quiet culprit is your mouse. “There are a lot of delicate body parts involved in mousing,” explains Cameron Stiehl, a San Francisco-based ergonomic assessment specialist. “When you’re at the computer for hours at a time, having a mouse that doesn’t fit properly or is positioned incorrectly can cause soft-tissue injuries in the fingers, wrists, hands, elbows and even in the shoulder.” Countless ergonomic mouse models promise improvement. If you’re ready for a level up, here are four mice that will give you a hand. 1 | Semi-vertical mice like the Logitech MX Master 3S have a 30 to 45-degree slant, which can help reduce stress on the forearm muscles. It can help relieve discomfort from epicondylitis (or ‘tennis elbow’) or help a sore wrist. At 141 grams, the MX Master 3S is a bit heavy but is designed to be especially responsive so that you needn’t move it too much. You can also custom-program the functions of the mouse’s seven buttons and two scroll wheels, letting you avoid certain repetitive motions that can cause injuries. $100, Logitech. com 2 | Look past their uncanny resemblance to Kubrick’s HAL 9000. Trackball mice can be particularly helpful for treating shoulder discomfort by limiting most of your mousing movement to the fingers and wrist. For the most natural motion, Stiehl suggests the Kensington Orbit Trackball. It has both the namespace feature for moving your cursor with little effort and a ring-style scroll wheel encircling it. Unlike traditional scrollers, you use it like a dial. This, Stiehl says, makes the mouse “especially good for people who have issues like trigger finger” (when bending your digits causes them to painfully click and pop). The Orbit also takes the ergonomics a step further, with an included, detachable wrist rest. $50, Kensington. com 3 | A vertical mouse lets you position your hand not flat but tilted sideways as if you’re shaking hands with the device. This position, reduces wrist and forearm movement and can be soothing. The Logitech Lift version’s small footprint and light weight (125 grams) make it a good fit for small hands. “It’s not a long vertical, so I think it can be very comfortable if it fits the hand,” said Stiehl. Six buttons allow for control customization, and it comes in three colors (including a very cute rose), and is made of mostly recycled material. $70, Logitech. com 4 | Working away from your desk doesn’t mean you can’t cast an eye toward ergonomics. The Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse is a compact vertical mouse, powered by a single replaceable AA battery, which the manufacture r promises will last a year. It also features a handsome cork thumb divot. But the selling point is its smaller footprint, which makes it easy to pack with your laptop. $50, Lenovo. com 40. According to the description, which product chart is Logitech Lift? A. B. C. D. 3 41. Sam is an office lady with loads of paperwork to complete, which results in severe neck-shoulder problems. Which of the following mice is highly recommended? A. Logitech MX Master 3S. B. Kensington Orbit Trackball. C. Logitech Lift. D. Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse. 42. Which of the following slogans is the most suitable for Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse? A. Suited for smaller hands. B. A universal upgrade. C. Trigger finger treater. D. Ergonomics can go everywhere. (C) The recent trust crisis has led many scientists to take up arms to defend their enterprise, but in their attempt to fight back against various forms of science denial, some scientists say things that just aren’t true — and you can’t build trust if the things you are saying are not trustworthy. One popular move is to insist that science is right — full stop — and that once we discover the truth about the world, we are done. Anyone who denies such truths is ignorant. Or, as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg said, “Even though a scientific theory is in a sense a social consensus, it is unlike any other sort of consensus in that it is culture-free and permanent.” Well, no. Science is a process of learning and discovery, and sometimes we learn that what we thought was right is wrong. Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered. Another popular move is to say scientific findings are true because scientists use “the scientific method.” But we can never actually agree on what that method is. Some will say it is experience-based reasoning: observation and description of the world. Others will say it is the experimental method: the use of experiment to test hypotheses. Recently some prominent scientists claimed the scientific method was to avoid fooling oneself into thinking something is true that is not, and vice versa. Each of these commonly held views has its merits, but if the claim is that any one of these is the scientific method, then they all fail. History and philosophy have shown that the idea of a singular scientific method is, well, unscientific. In fact, the methods of science have varied between disciplines and across time. Many scientific practices, particularly statistical tests of significance, have been developed with the idea of avoiding wishful thinking and self-deception, but that hardly constitutes “the scientific method.” Scientists have bitterly argued about which methods are the best, and, as we all know, bitter arguments rarely get resolved. In my view, the biggest mistake scientists make is to claim that this is all somehow simple and therefore to imply that anyone who doesn’t get it is dumb. Science is not simple, and neither is the natural world; therein lies the challenge of science communication. What we do is both hard and, often, hard to explain. Our efforts to understand and portray the natural world are just that: efforts. Because we’re human, we often fall flat. The good news is that when that happens, we pick ourselves up, shake off our frustrations, and get back to work. Understanding the beautiful, complex world we live in, and using that knowledge to do useful things, is both its own reward and why taxpayers should be happy to fund research. Scientific theories are not perfect copies of reality, but we have good reason to believe that they capture significant elements of it. And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality, it sooner or later comes back to bite us. 43. The quote from Steven Weinberg is intended to ______. A. illustrate that scientific theories are free from cultural influences B. stress what was believed to be true may turn out to be false theories C. show even great scientists may be unfamiliar with the history of science D. serve as an example of the belief that science produces permanent truths 44. What can be learned from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. People cannot agree on one scientific method since science itself reflects truth. B. Scientific methods should persuade people into believing in all scientists discovered. C. There is no universal scientific method shared by all scientific fields throughout history. D. Research methods are often settled through fierce disagreements among scientists. 45. The underlined phrase “fall flat” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________. A. fail to achieve a goal B. lie on one’s back C. fall behind the times D. rise to challenges 46. Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. It is pointless to agree on a single scientific method as science is right in itself. B. Science cannot supply absolute truths about the real world, but we cannot ignore it. C. Reflection on the history of science may help scientists restore public trust in science. D. Making scientific theories easily understandable is the biggest challenge for scientists. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The essence of friendship is two brains resonating with the world in the same way Friendship often feels like magic: a sudden click, a sense that someone else’s mind works in rhythm with your own. For years, we’ve explained this as shared interests or compatible personalities. But neuroscience is beginning to suggest something deeper: ____47____ In one striking study published in Nature Human Behavior, researchers asked strangers to watch the same film clips while their brain activity was scanned. Then, over the following eight months, they tracked who became friends. The results were striking: those who eventually formed close bonds had displayed remarkably similar patterns of neural activity from the very beginning. The overlap was most pronounced in the frontoparietal (额顶的) control network, a region central to how we process emotion and direct our attention. The finding explains a common frustration: Why some people never feel at home in certain circles, however hard they try, while others walk into a new environment and instantly find confidants (知己). ____48____ And the mismatch can be quietly exhausting, forcing us to translate ourselves again and again, only to realize that the conversation never lands in the same emotional register. ____49____ It suggests that some friendships are, in a sense, predestined — not by fate, but by the invisible architecture of the mind. The most moving friendships, then, are not achievements of persistence, but gifts of recognition. We do not build it from scratch — we notice it. And when we notice it, the experience feels effortless, as if our minds were already tuned to the same frequency, waiting only to connect. This perspective does not make friendship any less precious. On the contrary, it reveals why finding a true companion feels so rare and profound. ____50____ When that happens, the relationship carries a quiet certainty: No matter how life bends or scatters us, the resonance is already written into the wiring of our brains. A. The difference may not lie in social skill or charm, but in the compatibility of neural circuits. B. This finding also challenges the comforting belief that time alone creates intimacy. C. Our nervous system detects who processes the chaos of life in ways that mirror our own. D. The miracle is not that we create friendship out of nothing, but that among billions of minds, two can light up in harmony. E. True friendship is rooted not in hobbies or character traits, but in the way our brains are wired to perceive the world. F. The deeper force at work was the way their brains naturally made sense of the world. III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Beyond Holiday Cheer: Navigating Low Moods in the Festive Season As the end of the year quickly approaches, for many people, so do the holiday blues. What is it about this traditionally joyful and restful time of year that somehow produces the perfect storm of stress, isolation, and overextension that can leave us feeling sad, depleted, disconnected, and alone? While some of us get into the full swing of the holiday spirit, others feel less than merry or happy and fail to feel engaged in the media-hyped joys of the season. All this merry-making and missing out is going on during the shortest days of the year when our circadian rhythms are negatively impacted by the lack of daylight, which leaves some of us struggling with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Now let’s take a look at how to manage our moods and make the holiday season one that you can enjoy in your own fashion. Set an intention to be kind to yourself, as well as to others. If you celebrate the holidays, set reasonable limits on your spending and manage your time and efforts wisely. If you’re hosting a party or a holiday meal, ask for help if you need it. If you feel exhausted by nonstop social commitments, politely decline an invitation or two. If you struggle at this time of the year, consider approaching the holiday season in a new and more positive way. Set the intention to enjoy your own life and time with those you love in a way that suits who you are, right now. Plan a special outing, a festive meal, or a get-together with friends. It’s important to remember that every day, you are living your life, and you can set your own rules. Focus on what brings you joy and happiness. This may be the holiday season, but it’s your time to spend with whomever you choose, doing what you want. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

A scientist had ventured into their ____17____ territory. More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “____18____ the rainbow.” His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not devalue the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. He also gave the world another opportunity to experience the ____19____. Newton’s discovery paved the way for the development of the science of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical ____20____ of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars. 【答案】11. E 12. A 13. B 14. G 15. F 16. H 17. I 18. J 19. C 20.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Drink tart cherry juice for sleepmaxxing! Add protein in everything for proteinmaxxing! Online influencers are telling you to take your health to the max with highly specific changes. “Maxing” is an online trend applied to advice for aspects of ____21____ including diet and sleep. But much of this maxing advice can be unhelpful or unhealthy or go against the steady, personalized changes many experts recommend. ____22____ requires balance When it comes to nutrition, the aim should be balance — not maxing anything, said Natalie Mokari, a dietitian based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Many online influencers are ____23____ maximizing protein and fiber, and the tendency isn’t necessarily wrong. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend adults ___24___ 22 to 34 grams of fiber daily, generally dependent on age and gender. However, more than 90% of women and 97% of men in the United States don’t meet these ____25____ according to the guidelines. The dietary changes that stand the test of time are more gradual and work with your individual needs and preferences, rather than a sudden ____26____, Mokari said. Instead of cramming protein and fiber into everything you eat, she recommends including a source of fiber and protein in your meals and snacks. Whenever you can, ____27____ sources that come straight from the food itself rather than as an additive. Slowly get more sleep It’s great that people want to ____28____ their sleep, said Dr. Rafael Pelayo, a clinical professor in the sleep medicine division at Stanford University. For too long, people who only needed a little sleep were seen as tough or hardcore. But usually, the idea of sleepmaxxing isn’t about people who have insomnia using science-based techniques to ____29____ their sleep quality — it’s about unnecessary overoptimization, Pelayo said. Much of the advice behind this trend circulates online. Not all of this information is directly ____30____ , but it is vital to check its source and evaluate whether it is genuinely useful. Most people just need to prioritize a regular sleep schedule and an environment that is cool, dark and quiet. ____31____ , anyone experiencing persistent troubling sleep symptoms ought to seek professional help. People who wake up not feeling refreshed and find they need more and more sleep over time should see a sleep doctor to make sure there isn’t an issue that needs to be ____32____ , Pelayo said. The ____33____ behind “maxing” isn’t necessarily bad. Paying more attention to consuming enough nutrients and getting good sleep is a noble effort. The problem is that you can’t “maxx” all things all the time, so necessarily something else is ____34____. For example, focusing so heavily on your protein intake may mean you aren’t getting enough vegetables. The other problem with the social media trends around health is that they focus on immediate, universal results. Social media algorithms ____35____ rapid before-and-after transformations or bold statements without depth, which can affect the way people expect things to happen for them. 21.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) The term “voluntourism” often evokes images of earnest Western youths building schools in sun-drenched, impoverished villages. I was once one of them, my motivation an ambiguous blend of altruism and a thirst for an “authentic” experience that transcended the typical tourist itinerary. My destination was a small coastal community in Southeast Asia, where I had paid a substantial fee to assist in a sea turtle conservation project for four weeks. Upon arrival, a creeping disillusionment began to set in. The project was less about hands-on conservation and more a well-orchestrated simulation for volunteers. Our days consisted of being handed rakes at dawn to meticulously level the beach, a task we were told was crucial for identifying new turtle tracks. Yet, we often saw the same tracks we had carefully smoothed over the day before, untouched. Our tasks were monotonous and of questionable utility: raking the same patch of sand repeatedly to make it appear perfectly tidy for the nesting turtles—a practice the local staff admitted was largely performative. Once, the excitement was palpable when a nest was identified; we gathered around, hoping to carefully relocate the eggs to the safer, shaded hatchery. But we were only permitted to watch from a distance. The delicate work of monitoring nests and handling hatchlings was reserved solely for the full-time, local biologists. We were mere bystanders, our presence justified more by our financial contribution than any tangible labor. The most profound unease, however, stemmed from a conversation with a soft-spoken local biologist, Mr. Tan. Over sweetened tea, he confessed, with a tone of diplomatic resignation, that the constant rotation of unskilled volunteers was often more disruptive than beneficial. “The funds are vital,” he acknowledged, “I once spent a whole morning supervising a group who were ‘building a protective fence.’ It collapsed in the first high tide. My team and I had to rebuild it properly that night. The expectation is that we must always have ‘work’ for you to do, even if we have to invent it. It sometimes distracts from our real research.” His words laid bare the uncomfortable economics of our endeavor: we were not saviors but paying customers, purchasing the illusion of purpose and a portfolio of photographs that screamed benevolent worldliness. This transactional nature of the relationship made me question the very foundation of my presence there, reducing a complex ecological and social context to a backdrop for my own moral and existential theater. I left with no illusions of having “saved the turtles.” Instead, I carried the weight of a complicated lesson: that the desire to do good is not synonymous with actually doing good, and that the most ethical form of aid might sometimes be the simplest — financial support, channeled directly to those who know best how to use it, unburdened by the need to host and entertain a rotating cast of well-meaning amateurs. The romanticized narrative of the Western savior, I realized, is a difficult one to dismantle, as it is so deeply embedded in our collective consciousness and so flattering to our own self-perception. 36. The author’s original intention in joining the program was rooted in ________. A. an urge to escape routine and pursue adventure B. a mix of selfless impulse and a quest for novelty C. external financial incentives and social obligation D. a blend of professional ambition and academic curiosity 37. What does the underlined phrase “a well-orchestrated simulation”（para. 2） imply about the volunteer project? A. It was artificially constructed for the benefit of the volunteers. B. It was structured to be both highly educational and rich in skills. C. It was a commercial enterprise exploiting volunteers financially. D. It was carefully planned to provide a safe and rewarding experience. 38. According to Mr. Tan, what was the main downside of the constant flow of volunteers? A. It gradually drained the project’s limited financial reserves. B. It generated cultural misunderstandings with the local community. C. It consumed time and manpower to create and supervise unnecessary tasks. D. It introduced persistent communication challenges that hindered real research. 39. The author’s ultimate realization can be summarized as an understanding that ________. A. personal growth is an unintended yet valuable byproduct of failed endeavors B. critiquing the flaws of international aid is a necessary step towards its reform C. effective help must prioritize local expertise and minimize disruptive interference D. well-intentioned human intervention may accidentally accelerate ecological decline 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者参与“公益旅游”的经历，揭露其形式化本质，并领悟到有效的援助必须优先考量本地专业能力，并最大限度减少具有破坏性的干扰。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was once one of them, my motivation an ambiguous blend of altruism and a thirst for an “authentic” experience that transcended the typical tourist itinerary.(我曾也是其中一员，动机模糊地交织着利他之心与对 “真实” 体验的渴求 —— 这种体验，早已超越了常规旅游行程的范畴。)”可知，作者参与该项目的初衷是无私的冲动（利他主义）与对新奇体验（超越常规的真实经历）的追求。故选B项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Our tasks were monotonous and of questionable utility: raking the same patch of sand repeatedly to make it appear perfectly tidy for the nesting turtles—a practice the local staff admitted was largely performative.(我们的任务单调且效用存疑：反复耙同一片沙滩，使其看起来对筑巢的海龟完美整洁——当地工作人员承认，这种做法在很大程度上是象征性的。)”及“We were mere bystanders, our presence justified more by our financial contribution than any tangible labor.(我们只是旁观者，我们的存在更多是因为经济贡献而非实际劳动。)”可知，“a well-orchestrated simulation”（一场精心策划的 “模拟体验”）表明该项目的任务多为形式化、无实际保育作用的安排，本质是为满足志愿者“参与公益”的心理而人为设计的。故选A项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the constant rotation of unskilled volunteers was often more disruptive than beneficial. “The funds are vital,” he acknowledged, “I once spent a whole morning supervising a group who were ‘building a protective fence.’ It collapsed in the first high tide. My team and I had to rebuild it properly that night. The expectation is that we must always have ‘work’ for you to do, even if we have to invent it. It sometimes distract s from our real research.”(没有专业技能的志愿者频繁轮换，往往弊大于利。“资金固然至关重要，” 他坦言，“但有一次，我花了整整一个上午监督一群‘建造防护栏’的志愿者。结果那护栏在第一次涨潮时就塌了，我和团队当晚不得不重新进行妥善修建。大家默认我们必须一直为你们安排“工作”，哪怕这些工作是凭空编造的。这有时会分散我们真正的研究精力。”)”可知，Mr. Tan认为志愿者的主要弊端是：需要花费时间和人力设计并监督不必要的任务，且干扰了真正的研究工作。故选C项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Instead, I carried the weight of a complicated lesson: that the desire to do good is not synonymous with actually doing good, and that the most ethical form of aid might sometimes be the simplest—financial support, channeled directly to those who know best how to use it, unburdened by the need to host and entertain a rotating cast of well-meaning amateurs.(相反，我背负着一个深刻而复杂的教训：心怀善念并不等同于真正行善，而最符合伦理的援助形式有时或许最为简单 —— 那便是直接将资金支持提供给最懂如何运用它的人，无需承担招待一批又一批善意业余爱好者的负担)”可知，作者最终意识到：有效的援助必须优先考量本地专业能力，并最大限度减少具有破坏性的干扰。故选C项。 (B) It’s easy to blame an achy neck and stiff shoulder on bad posture. But on many desks, experts agree, the quiet culprit is your mouse. “There are a lot of delicate body parts involved in mousing,” explains Cameron Stiehl, a San Francisco-based ergonomic assessment specialist. “When you’re at the computer for hours at a time, having a mouse that doesn’t fit properly or is positioned incorrectly can cause soft-tissue injuries in the fingers, wrists, hands, elbows and even in the shoulder.” Countless ergonomic mouse models promise improvement. If you’re ready for a level up, here are four mice that will give you a hand. 1 | Semi-vertical mice like the Logitech MX Master 3S have a 30 to 45-degree slant, which can help reduce stress on the forearm muscles. It can help relieve discomfort from epicondylitis (or ‘tennis elbow’) or help a sore wrist. At 141 grams, the MX Master 3S is a bit heavy but is designed to be especially responsive so that you needn’t move it too much. You can also custom-program the functions of the mouse’s seven buttons and two scroll wheels, letting you avoid certain repetitive motions that can cause injuries. $100, Logitech. com 2 | Look past their uncanny resemblance to Kubrick’s HAL 9000. Trackball mice can be particularly helpful for treating shoulder discomfort by limiting most of your mousing movement to the fingers and wrist. For the most natural motion, Stiehl suggests the Kensington Orbit Trackball. It has both the namespace feature for moving your cursor with little effort and a ring-style scroll wheel encircling it. Unlike traditional scrollers, you use it like a dial. This, Stiehl says, makes the mouse “especially good for people who have issues like trigger finger” (when bending your digits causes them to painfully click and pop). The Orbit also takes the ergonomics a step further, with an included, detachable wrist rest. $50, Kensington. com 3 | A vertical mouse lets you position your hand not flat but tilted sideways as if you’re shaking hands with the device. This position, reduces wrist and forearm movement and can be soothing. The Logitech Lift version’s small footprint and light weight (125 grams) make it a good fit for small hands. “It’s not a long vertical, so I think it can be very comfortable if it fits the hand,” said Stiehl. Six buttons allow for control customization, and it comes in three colors (including a very cute rose), and is made of mostly recycled material. $70, Logitech. com 4 | Working away from your desk doesn’t mean you can’t cast an eye toward ergonomics. The Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse is a compact vertical mouse, powered by a single replaceable AA battery, which the manufacture r promises will last a year. It also features a handsome cork thumb divot. But the selling point is its smaller footprint, which makes it easy to pack with your laptop. $50, Lenovo. com 40. According to the description, which product chart is Logitech Lift? A. B. C. D. 3 41. Sam is an office lady with loads of paperwork to complete, which results in severe neck-shoulder problems. Which of the following mice is highly recommended? A. Logitech MX Master 3S. B. Kensington Orbit Trackball. C. Logitech Lift. D. Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse. 42. Which of the following slogans is the most suitable for Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse? A. Suited for smaller hands. B. A universal upgrade. C. Trigger finger treater. D. Ergonomics can go everywhere. 【答案】40. B 41. B 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四款符合人体工程学的小鼠标。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三个表格中的“A vertical mouse lets you position your hand not flat but tilted sideways as if you’re shaking hands with the device. This position, reduces wrist and forearm movement and can be soothing. (垂直鼠标可以让你的手不是平的，而是倾斜的，就像你在和设备握手一样。这个姿势，减少手腕和前臂的活动，可以舒缓)”可推知，Logitech Lift是一款垂直鼠标，就像你在和设备握手一样。结合图片可推知，B项符合题意。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二个表格中的“Trackball mice can be particularly helpful for treating shoulder discomfort by limiting most of your mousing movement to the fingers and wrist.(轨迹球鼠标通过限制手指和手腕的大部分鼠标运动，对治疗肩部不适特别有帮助)”可知，山姆是一名办公室女士，有大量的文书工作要完成，这导致了严重的颈肩问题，适合使用Kensington Orbit Trackball。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四个表格中的“But the selling point is its smaller footprint, which makes it easy to pack with your laptop.(但它的卖点是体积更小，便于与笔记本电脑一起打包)”可推知，“适合小手”是联想Go无线垂直鼠标最合适的广告语。故选A。 (C) The recent trust crisis has led many scientists to take up arms to defend their enterprise, but in their attempt to fight back against various forms of science denial, some scientists say things that just aren’t true — and you can’t build trust if the things you are saying are not trustworthy. One popular move is to insist that science is right — full stop — and that once we discover the truth about the world, we are done. Anyone who denies such truths is ignorant. Or, as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg said, “Even though a scientific theory is in a sense a social consensus, it is unlike any other sort of consensus in that it is culture-free and permanent.” Well, no. Science is a process of learning and discovery, and sometimes we learn that what we thought was right is wrong. Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered. Another popular move is to say scientific findings are true because scientists use “the scientific method.” But we can never actually agree on what that method is. Some will say it is experience-based reasoning: observation and description of the world. Others will say it is the experimental method: the use of experiment to test hypotheses. Recently some prominent scientists claimed the scientific method was to avoid fooling oneself into thinking something is true that is not, and vice versa. Each of these commonly held views has its merits, but if the claim is that any one of these is the scientific method, then they all fail. History and philosophy have shown that the idea of a singular scientific method is, well, unscientific. In fact, the methods of science have varied between disciplines and across time. Many scientific practices, particularly statistical tests of significance, have been developed with the idea of avoiding wishful thinking and self-deception, but that hardly constitutes “the scientific method.” Scientists have bitterly argued about which methods are the best, and, as we all know, bitter arguments rarely get resolved. In my view, the biggest mistake scientists make is to claim that this is all somehow simple and therefore to imply that anyone who doesn’t get it is dumb. Science is not simple, and neither is the natural world; therein lies the challenge of science communication. What we do is both hard and, often, hard to explain. Our efforts to understand and portray the natural world are just that: efforts. Because we’re human, we often fall flat. The good news is that when that happens, we pick ourselves up, shake off our frustrations, and get back to work. Understanding the beautiful, complex world we live in, and using that knowledge to do useful things, is both its own reward and why taxpayers should be happy to fund research. Scientific theories are not perfect copies of reality, but we have good reason to believe that they capture significant elements of it. And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality, it sooner or later comes back to bite us. 43. The quote from Steven Weinberg is intended to ______. A. illustrate that scientific theories are free from cultural influences B. stress what was believed to be true may turn out to be false theories C. show even great scientists may be unfamiliar with the history of science D. serve as an example of the belief that science produces permanent truths 44. What can be learned from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. People cannot agree on one scientific method since science itself reflects truth. B. Scientific methods should persuade people into believing in all scientists discovered. C. There is no universal scientific method shared by all scientific fields throughout history. D. Research methods are often settled through fierce disagreements among scientists. 45. The underlined phrase “fall flat” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________. A. fail to achieve a goal B. lie on one’s back C. fall behind the times D. rise to challenges 46. Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. It is pointless to agree on a single scientific method as science is right in itself. B. Science cannot supply absolute truths about the real world, but we cannot ignore it. C. Reflection on the history of science may help scientists restore public trust in science. D. Making scientific theories easily understandable is the biggest challenge for scientists. 【答案】43. D 44. C 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨科学信任危机下科学家辩护中的两种误区，指出科学并非绝对真理，也不存在单一科学方法，但科学仍值得公众信赖与支持。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One popular move is to insist that science is right — full stop — and that once we discover the truth about the world, we are done. Anyone who denies such truths is ignorant. Or, as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg said, “Even though a scientific theory is in a sense a social consensus, it is unlike any other sort of consensus in that it is culture-free and permanent.”(一种流行的做法是坚持认为科学就是对的 —— 句号 —— 一旦我们发现了关于世界的真理，我们就大功告成了。任何否认这些真理的人都是无知的。或者，正如诺贝尔奖得主物理学家史蒂文・温伯格所说：“ 即使科学理论在某种意义上是一种社会共识，但它不同于其他任何类型的共识，因为它不受文化影响且是永久的。”)”以及第三段“Well, no. Science is a process of learning and discovery, and sometimes we learn that what we thought was right is wrong.(好吧，并非如此。科学是一个学习和发现的过程，有时我们会认识到我们曾经认为正确的东西是错误的)”可知，作者引用温伯格的话是作为“科学产生永久真理”这一信念的典型例子，随后对其进行反驳。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Another popular move is to say scientific findings are true because scientists use “the scientific method.” But we can never actually agree on what that method is. (另一种流行的做法是说科学发现是真实的，因为科学家使用“科学方法”。但我们实际上永远无法就那种方法究竟是什么达成一致)”以及第四段“Each of these commonly held views has its merits, but if the claim is that any one of these is the scientific method, then they all fail. History and philosophy have shown that the idea of a singular scientific method is, well, unscientific. In fact, the methods of science have varied between disciplines and across time. (这些普遍持有的观点各有其优点，但如果声称其中任何一种就是科学方法，那么它们全都不成立。历史和哲学已经表明，单一科学方法的想法是，嗯，不科学的。事实上，科学的方法在不同学科之间和不同时代之间是各不相同的)”可知，历史上各科学领域之间并没有一种通用的、普遍适用的科学方法。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线部分上文“Science is not simple, and neither is the natural world; therein lies the challenge of science communication. What we do is both hard and, often, hard to explain. Our efforts to understand and portray the natural world are just that: efforts. Because we’re human (科学并不简单，自然界也不简单；这就是科学传播的挑战所在。我们所做的事情既困难又难以解释。我们理解和描绘自然界的努力仅仅是努力。因为我们是人类)”可知，科学和自然界都不简单，人类在理解和描绘自然界上面临挑战，存在局限性。由此可知，我们经常会失败，画线部分意思应该与fail to achieve a goal“目标达成失败”意思相近。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Scientific theories are not perfect copies of reality, but we have good reason to believe that they capture significant elements of it. And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality, it sooner or later comes back to bite us.(科学理论并不是现实的完美复制品，但我们有充分的理由相信它们捕捉到了现实的重要元素。而经验提醒我们，当我们忽视现实时，它迟早会反过来咬我们一口)”可知，作者认为科学虽然不能提供关于现实世界的绝对真理，但我们不能忽视它。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The essence of friendship is two brains resonating with the world in the same way Friendship often feels like magic: a sudden click, a sense that someone else’s mind works in rhythm with your own. For years, we’ve explained this as shared interests or compatible personalities. But neuroscience is beginning to suggest something deeper: ____47____ In one striking study published in Nature Human Behavior, researchers asked strangers to watch the same film clips while their brain activity was scanned. Then, over the following eight months, they tracked who became friends. The results were striking: those who eventually formed close bonds had displayed remarkably similar patterns of neural activity from the very beginning. The overlap was most pronounced in the frontoparietal (额顶的) control network, a region central to how we process emotion and direct our attention. The finding explains a common frustration: Why some people never feel at home in certain circles, however hard they try, while others walk into a new environment and instantly find confidants (知己). ____48____ And the mismatch can be quietly exhausting, forcing us to translate ourselves again and again, only to realize that the conversation never lands in the same emotional register. ____49____ It suggests that some friendships are, in a sense, predestined — not by fate, but by the invisible architecture of the mind. The most moving friendships, then, are not achievements of persistence, but gifts of recognition. We do not build it from scratch — we notice it. And when we notice it, the experience feels effortless, as if our minds were already tuned to the same frequency, waiting only to connect. This perspective does not make friendship any less precious. On the contrary, it reveals why finding a true companion feels so rare and profound. ____50____ When that happens, the relationship carries a quiet certainty: No matter how life bends or scatters us, the resonance is already written into the wiring of our brains. A. The difference may not lie in social skill or charm, but in the compatibility of neural circuits. B. This finding also challenges the comforting belief that time alone creates intimacy. C. Our nervous system detects who processes the chaos of life in ways that mirror our own. D. The miracle is not that we create friendship out of nothing, but that among billions of minds, two can light up in harmony. E. True friendship is rooted not in hobbies or character traits, but in the way our brains are wired to perceive the world. F. The deeper force at work was the way their brains naturally made sense of the world. 【答案】47. E 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了友谊的本质并非仅仅基于共同的兴趣或性格相投，而是源于大脑感知世界方式的共鸣，这种共鸣使得某些友谊在某种程度上似乎是注定的。 【47题详解】 由上文“Friendship often feels like magic: a sudden click, a sense that someone else’s mind works in rhythm with your own. For years, we’ve explained this as shared interests or compatible personalities.(友谊往往感觉像魔法：突然的契合，一种别人的思维与你自己的思维同步的感觉。多年来，我们一直将其解释为共同的兴趣或兼容的个性。)”和“But neuroscience is beginning to suggest something deeper:(但神经科学开始提出更深层次的建议：)”及下文“The results were striking: those who eventually formed close bonds had displayed remarkably similar patterns of neural activity from the very beginning. The overlap was most pronounced in the frontoparietal (额顶的) control network, a region central to how we process emotion and direct our attention.(结果令人震惊：那些最终形成亲密关系的人从一开始就表现出非常相似的神经活动模式。这种重叠在额顶控制网络中最为明显，额顶控制网络是我们处理情绪和引导注意力的核心区域。)”可知，本空要阐述神经科学在友谊本质方面揭示的深层次内容，即真正的友谊不是基于爱好或性格特征，而是基于我们大脑感知世界的方式。E选项“True friendship is rooted not in hobbies or character traits, but in the way our brains are wired to perceive the world.(真正的友谊并不植根于爱好或性格特征，而是植根于我们大脑感知世界的方式。)”能够承上启下，符合题意。故选E。 【48题详解】 由上文“The finding explains a common frustration: Why some people never feel at home in certain circles, however hard they try, while others walk into a new environment and instantly find confidants (知己). (这一发现解释了一个常见的困惑：为什么有些人无论多么努力，在某些圈子里都永远找不到归属感，而另一些人走进一个新的环境，立刻就能找到知己。)”及下文“And the mismatch can be quietly exhausting, forcing us to translate ourselves again and again, only to realize that the conversation never lands in the same emotional register.(这种不匹配会让人筋疲力尽，迫使我们一次又一次地解释自己，结果却发现对话从未落在相同的情感层面上。)”可知，有些人找不到归属感，有些人能找到知己，本空应针对上述现象给出原因解释，即差异在于神经回路的兼容性。A选项“The difference may not lie in social skill or charm, but in the compatibility of neural circuits.(这种差异可能不在于社交技巧或魅力，而在于神经回路的兼容性。)”能够承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 【49题详解】 由下文“It suggests that some friendships are, in a sense, predestined — not by fate, but by the invisible architecture of the mind. The most moving friendships, then, are not achievements of persistence, but gifts of recognition. We do not build it from scratch — we notice it.(这表明，从某种意义上说，一些友谊是命中注定的——不是命运，而是无形的心灵结构。因此，最感人的友谊不是坚持不懈的成就，而是认可的礼物。我们不会从头开始构建它，我们会注意到它。)”可知，本空应指出这一发现对传统观念（仅靠时间建立亲密关系）的挑战。B选项“This finding also challenges the comforting belief that time alone creates intimacy.(这一发现也挑战了那种令人欣慰的信念，即仅靠时间就能建立亲密关系。)”与上文关于友谊形成的新观点相呼应，进一步深化了主题，符合题意。故选B。 【50题详解】 由上文“This perspective does not make friendship any less precious. On the contrary, it reveals why finding a true companion feels so rare and profound.(这种观点并没有让友谊变得不那么珍贵。相反，它揭示了为什么找到一个真正的伴侣感觉如此罕见和深刻)”可知，本空应强调在这种观点下友谊的奇妙之处。D选项“The miracle is not that we create friendship out of nothing, but that among billions of minds, two can light up in harmony.(奇迹不在于我们凭空创造友谊，而在于在数十亿个大脑中，有两个大脑能够和谐共鸣。)”进一步阐述了友谊的奇迹所在，即两个大脑能够和谐共鸣的罕见性，与上文相呼应，符合题意。故选D。 III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Beyond Holiday Cheer: Navigating Low Moods in the Festive Season As the end of the year quickly approaches, for many people, so do the holiday blues. What is it about this traditionally joyful and restful time of year that somehow produces the perfect storm of stress, isolation, and overextension that can leave us feeling sad, depleted, disconnected, and alone? While some of us get into the full swing of the holiday spirit, others feel less than merry or happy and fail to feel engaged in the media-hyped joys of the season. All this merry-making and missing out is going on during the shortest days of the year when our circadian rhythms are negatively impacted by the lack of daylight, which leaves some of us struggling with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Now let’s take a look at how to manage our moods and make the holiday season one that you can enjoy in your own fashion. Set an intention to be kind to yourself, as well as to others. If you celebrate the holidays, set reasonable limits on your spending and manage your time and efforts wisely. If you’re hosting a party or a holiday meal, ask for help if you need it. If you feel exhausted by nonstop social commitments, politely decline an invitation or two. If you struggle at this time of the year, consider approaching the holiday season in a new and more positive way. Set the intention to enjoy your own life and time with those you love in a way that suits who you are, right now. Plan a special outing, a festive meal, or a get-together with friends. It’s important to remember that every day, you are living your life, and you can set your own rules. Focus on what brings you joy and happiness. This may be the holiday season, but it’s your time to spend with whomever you choose, doing what you want. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Many people suffer from holiday blues, caused by stress, loneliness and lack of daylight. However, we can handle low moods properly. We should be kind to ourselves, set reasonable limits and refuse tiring social activities. Besides, we can enjoy the season in our own suitable way and focus on things bringing us joy. 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了节日低落情绪（holiday blues）这一现象及其成因，并从自我关怀与个性化过节两个方面给出了调节建议。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①As the end of the year quickly approaches, for many people, so do the holiday blues. ②What is it about this traditionally joyful and restful time of year that somehow produces the perfect storm of stress, isolation, and overextension that can leave us feeling sad, depleted, disconnected, and alone? ③Set an intention to be kind to yourself, as well as to others.

Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 52. 雨后太阳破云而出，此番景象赏心又悦目。（emerge）（汉译英） _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The sun emerged from the clouds after the rain, which was a pleasant and delightful sight. 【解析】 【详解】本句描述过去的情况，时态用一般过去时；“雨后太阳破云而出”是主句，主语“太阳”译为The sun，“破云而出”指从云中出现，对应的动词短语为emerge from the clouds，“雨后”译为after the rain，该部分整合为The sun emerged from the clouds after the rain，其后加英语逗号；“此番景象赏心又悦目”是对主句的补充说明，要用which引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代前面主句描述的整件景象，表示单数概念，be动词用was，“此番景象赏心又悦目”可译为名词短语a pleasant and delightful sight，该部分整合为which was a pleasant and delightful sight。 53. 正是因为缺乏数字素养，老一辈的工匠才难以接触前沿工艺。（exposure）（汉译英） _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It is the lack of digital literacy that makes it difficult for older generations of craftsmen to gain exposure to cutting-edge craftsmanship. 【解析】 【详解】本句陈述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，结合中文可知要用强调句型“It is+被强调的部分+that+其余部分”；中文部分结构松散，要表达的含义是“正是缺乏数字素养才使老一辈的工匠难以接触前沿工艺”，此时不用机械对等翻译为英语中的原因状语，转换成抽象名词作主语更符合英语行文习惯；“正是因为缺乏数字素养”是被强调的部分，翻译时省译“因为”，把“缺乏数字素养”处理为名词短语the lack of digital literacy，套入强调句型It is the lack of digital literacy that。“老一辈的工匠才难以接触前沿工艺”是剩余内容，可以用make it+形容词+for sb.to do sth.表示，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式；主语the lack of digital literacy是单数名词，make要变成第三人称单数形式makes，“老一辈的工匠”译为older generations of craftsmen，“难”译为形容词difficult，“接触前沿工艺”要用名词exposure翻译，译为gain exposure to cutting-edge craftsmanship，该部分整合为makes it difficult for older generations of craftsmen to gain exposure to cutting-edge craftsmanship。 54. 这座建筑人性化且融于自然的空间布局，彰显了人与自然和谐共生的理念。 (evidence) (汉译英) _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The human-friendly and nature-integrated spatial layout of this building evidences the concept of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. 【解析】 【详解】根据句意和中文提示可知，表示“这座建筑人性化且融于自然的空间布局”应用The human-friendly and nature-integrated spatial layout of this building，作主语；表示“彰显、证明”应用动词evidence，时态用一般现在时表客观情况，主语layout是单数，谓语用三单evidences；表示“人与自然和谐共生的理念”应用the concept of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature，作宾语。 55. 我侄女立志报效祖国，尽管被告知军校录取政策将大幅调整，她仍选择了报考。（inform）（汉译英） _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My niece is determined to serve the motherland. Though informed that the admission policy of military academies would be greatly adjusted, she still chose to apply for them. 【解析】 【详解】中文句子结构松散，可以将其拆分翻译。先翻译“我侄女立志报效祖国”作为第一个英语句子，本句陈述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，“立志做某事”对应的英语表示是be determined to do sth.，主语“我侄女”译为单数名词My niece，be动词用is，“报效祖国”译为serve the motherland，该句整合为“My niece is determined to serve the motherland.”；“尽管被告知军校录取政策将大幅调整”可以整合为含有though引导让步状语从句的省略结构，置于主句之前，though的首字母要大写，结合句意，主句谓语是“选择了”，强调动作发生在过去，从句中有“将”，要用过去将来时；though可以接过去分词构成省略结构，“被告知”用过去分词informed，“军校录取政策将大幅调整”译为that引导的宾语从句，“军校录取政策”译为the admission policy of military academies，“将大幅调整”要用过去将来时的被动语态would be+过去分词，译为would be greatly adjusted，该部分整合为Though informed that the admission policy of military academies would be greatly adjusted，其后加英语逗号与主句隔开；翻译主句“她仍选择了报考”，“她”用she表示，仍然的英语是still，置于主语之后，谓语之前；“选择了报考”对应choose to do sth.结构，choose的过去式为chose，“报考”即“申请学校”，可译为“chose to apply for them”，them指代从句中的military academies，整合为she still chose to apply for them。 V.

I feel like a chameleon (变色龙) — flipping between different subjects and tasks without truly mastering any. How do you stay sharp across everything without burning out? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Lynn, I’m sorry to hear you are troubled by heavy senior three study tasks. Like you, I once felt like a chameleon, switching between subjects but mastering none. Here are my practical suggestions. First, arrange your study with time blocks. Stick to one subject for a period instead of frequently shifting tasks. Frequent switches stop deep thinking and weaken your grasp of knowledge. Besides, schedule short rest breaks. They refresh your brain and prevent burnout, keeping your learning efficient. It’s also wise to set small, clear daily goals. Progress lies in steady small gains rather than rushing through all tasks. You can also review what you have learned at the end of each day to strengthen your memory. Don’t push yourself too hard. I hope these tips will help you stay sharp and balanced. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生给 Lynn 写一封回信，提供建议，帮助她应对高三学习压力。 【详解】1.词汇积累 任务：task → assignment 转换：switch → shift 加强：strengthen → enhance 明智的：wise → advisable 2.句式拓展 合并句子 原句：Besides, schedule short rest breaks.
