B When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began. Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day. As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began. Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel. What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if its the only way. 41. What motivated the author to start her writing career? A. Her strong wish to share. B. Her keen interest in writing. C. Her urgent need to make a living. D. Her passionate desire for fame. 42. What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing? A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day. B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style. C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter. D. She was unsure about her writing skills. 43. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway? A. In case the clock in her room broke down. B. In case she failed to hear the ringing. C. To force herself out of bed. D. To wake up her family. 44. How did the author manage to finish her novel? A. By sticking to writing every morning. B. By writing when her mind was most active. C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels. D. By reducing her teaching hours at school. 45. What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career? A. It is never too late to change your job. B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time. C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action. D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing. C Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end? Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted (植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains. For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression. However, it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe. How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain? A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists. Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us. 46. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. A summary of the article. B. An introduction to the main topic. C. An overview of the whole article. D. An argument over the main topic. 47. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3? A. The process of human-computer interaction. B. The possible treatment for particular diseases. C. The future of microchips and devices alike. D. The existing application of microchip implants. 48. What technical requirement must brain implants meet according to paragraph 4? A. They must be made of materials that dissolve over time. B. They need to be both chemically inactive and electrically responsive. C. They should only record brain activity without processing it. D. They must be able to power themselves using brain chemicals. 49. How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality? A. They may reject it. B. They may expect it. C. They may adjust to it. D. They may feel curious about it. 50. Which word can best describe the technology of computer-brain interface implants? A. Imaginary. B. Practical. C. Unfulfilled. D. Impossible. D I struggle with letting go of things. Embarrassing situations that occurred decades ago still regularly pop into my mind and stress me out. I don’t seem to be able to move past them and forget them. Even small irrelevant things get me worked up. Can you suggest some techniques to move on and lead a calmer life? — A painful reader Since you said a lot of these are insignificant upon reflection, I’ll assume we’re not talking about big traumas (创伤) but the kinds of sour memories we all have. It feels unpleasant to be pulled back into the past, forced to relive those painful memories. So why do we keep going back? One possibility is that we feel not enough has changed. Time might have passed, but in the respects that matter, we still feel as though we’re right there. Still scared in the same ways those situations made us feel, still vulnerable (易受伤害的) to those same stressors, even uninsured against the same mistakes. If you feel as though a lot has changed since an indignity, the memory feels more like a postcard from somewhere distant. But if you feel the same in the ways that matter, an upsetting thing from the past can still seem threatening to some extent that version of us persists today. Or maybe we go back to these memories because there’s some unanswered question we keep trying to solve. Why did I say that? Why did they do that? If I’d done that differently, would this have changed? Maybe, more rarely, we go back because we’re bored. Sometimes if present-day life doesn’t quite feel stimulating enough we can go back to conflicts or hard choices from the past, because even though they were unpleasant, they somehow feel more real. Therapy can help figure out which it is for you. When the distressing thought comes knocking why does it seem worth opening the door? That would really help you tailor your strategies. The calm you’ll need if you’re trying to solve a question may not be the calm you need if you still feel vulnerable in those same ways. Well-meaning people might say you need closure, a way to tell a coherent (有条理的) story. Closure is great if you can get it, but I’m not convinced it’s essential. What concerns me is that trying to find narratively pleasing ways to transform painful memories ultimately makes our capacity to move on, depending on whether we can make sense of those events. Coherence may be genuinely beyond our reach. Bad luck doesn’t make sense. People don’t always have a “why”. I think it’s less “I have to get closure” and more “I have to see this as past, over”. As you try to figure out what is captivating about these memories, it might help to try seeing them in past tense. Not solved, just over — not a source of new pain, not part of a pattern; an echo of hurts gone by. 51. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a personal problem B. To introduce a practical solution C. To state the main argument D. To summarize the columnist’s advice 52. What does the underlined word “indignity” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A. A positive event that brings pride and honor B. A painful or embarrassing event that hurts one’s feeling C. A common daily activity that is easily forgotten D. An unexpected occurrence that brings good fortune 53. According to the columnist, why do we keep going back to painful memories? A. (a) Becoming stronger over time; (b) Gaining closure; (c) Seeking peace B. (a) Avoiding current problems; (b) Hoping to erase past; (c) Searching for luck C. (a) Developing new skills; (b) Rewriting the past; (c) Enjoying old conflicts D. (a) Still vulnerable as before; (b) Wondering “why”; (c) Feeling bored in present life 54. What concern does the author express about the idea of “closure”? A. Closure is unnecessary and irrelevant for individuals stuck in pain. B. Closure relies on making sense of events, which may be impossible. C. Closure can only be achieved through constructing a touching story. D. Closure is seen as more valuable than the ability to move forward. 55. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s advice? A. Painful memories must be carefully analyzed to gain wisdom. B. Forgetting the past is the only way to achieve peace eternally. C. Painful memories should be seen as finished events, not threats. D. One could resolve painful memories by rewriting his own past. 第II卷（非选择题） 第一节、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 For seven months, the dark-haired violinist at the 34th Street subway station had been just part of my morning background noise. His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words. The morning when everything changed began ordinarily enough — another rainy March day, another hurried commute. As I mechanically dropped a dollar into his open case, his bow suddenly stilled. “Excuse me,” he said with a mild Eastern European accent. “Your right shoelace…” I glanced down to see the lace untied and covered in mud. When I bent down to retie it, the musician knelt beside me, his violin momentarily forgotten. “Dangcrous in crowds,” he remarked, demonstrating a double-knot technique. In that awkward position, I finally noticed the Budapest Academy of Music pin (别针) fastened inside his instrument case. “Thank you...?” I hesitated, realizing I’d never learned his name. “László,” he supplied, then surprised me by asking, “You always walk so fast. To where?” That simple question revamped my routine. As trains came and went, we talked — about his transition from concert halls to subway platforms after moving to America, about my grandmother’s Hungarian (匈牙利的) heritage. When he played “Szomorú Vasárnap” in recognition of our shared roots, the familiar melody stopped me mid-step. I was thrilled by the break from my dull routine. Now my commute includes scheduled pauses. On Mondays, I bring László fresh violin strings from the music store near my office. On Thursdays, he brings me a copy of the Hungarian newspaper he reads. What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places. Sometimes, when latecomers rush past our conversations, I see my former self in their hurried steps. They don’t know what they’re missing — the subway’s best musician won’t call after them about untied laces. That privilege belongs only to those who finally stop moving long enough to listen. 56.

A. which was B. it was C. which were D. them were 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个研究站建在一个偏僻遥远的区域，它的周围是高耸的雪山，山上极少生长植物或野草。逗号后为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词zone，地点名词，介词around后需用关系代词which作宾语，排除B、D选项。同时，该定语从句使用了完全倒装结构，表方位的介词短语around which置于句首，真正的主语是后面的towering snow-capped mountains，为复数名词，故谓语动词需用复数形式were。 4. His father predicted that he would be a(n) ________ to himself and all his family. ________ all this, he finally became one of the most famous geologists ________ . A. honour, Except; all the time B. disgrace; Besides; of all time C. disgrace; Despite; of all time D. honour; Except for; in time 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查名词、介词和短语辨析。句意：他父亲曾预言他会成为自己和全家的耻辱。尽管如此，他最终成为了有史以来最著名的地质学家之一。第一空disgrace：耻辱，丢脸的人 / 事；honour：荣誉，根据后文：他最后成了著名地质学家，说明父亲当初是负面预测，即认为是耻辱，故排除A、D选项；第二空根据后文“he finally became one of the most famous geologists”可知，父亲说他会丢脸，尽管这样，他最后成功了。Despite all this：尽管如此/尽管这样符合语境，Except/Besides/Except for都不符合逻辑。第三空all the time一直，in time及时；of all time有史以来。指“史上最著名的地质学家之一”用of all time。故选C。 5. ________ by the smiles ________ on the students’ faces, the school festival was a great success.

A. have been employed B. has been employed C. has employed D. have employed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：现代农业技术与传统耕作方法一起，在这个地区已经被使用了几十年。employ(使用，利用)是谓语动词，与主语“Modern agricultural technology, alongside traditional farming methods”之间是被动关系，结合时间状语“for decades”可知，讲述过去持续到现在的行为，用现在完成时的被动语态，又因主语中附属成分“alongside traditional farming methods”不影响主语的数，即主语technology是单数名词，所以谓语用单数形式。故选B项。 8. ________ the museum chooses to feature should aim to engage the public and foster cultural appreciation. A. No matter what exhibit B. What exhibit C. Whatever exhibit D. Which exhibit 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：无论博物馆选择展出什么，都应致力于吸引公众参与并促进文化鉴赏。A. No matter what exhibit无论什么展品(引导让步状语从句)；B. What exhibit什么展品；C. Whatever exhibit无论什么展品(引导让步状语从句和名词性从句)；D. Which exhibit 哪个展品(有限选择范围)。“____the museum chooses to feature”是主语从句，且从句中缺少宾语，表示“无论展出什么”，应用连接代词whatever引导该从句。故选C项。 9.

A. completed; confused B. completing; confusing C. to complete; confused D. to complete; confusing 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词与形容词用法。句意：繁重的工作完成后，她脸上困惑的表情变成了微笑——漫长的一天过后，她终于可以放松了。第一空是“with +宾语+宾补”结构，宾语“the heavy work”与动词“complete”是被动关系，需用过去分词completed；第二空修饰人脸上的“look（表情）”，需用形容词“confused”意为“感到困惑的”，强调人的感受。故选A项。 11. ________ had the renowned scientist announced her groundbreaking research on renewable energy_________ governments and tech giants around the world reached out to collaborate on its practical application. A. Never; than B. Little; until C. No sooner; than D.

I will go to college with these lessons in mind and continue my work with Cuddle Buddles, even when I ________ a whole new set of exciting academic and nonacademic pursuits. A. engage in B. work out C. keep off D. rely on 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：我将带着这些感悟步入大学校园，并继续致力于Cuddle Buddles项目的工作，即使当我参与一整套全新的、令人兴奋的学术与非学术追求时亦然。A. engage in参与，从事；B. work out解决，锻炼；C. keep off避开；D. rely on依靠。根据“a whole new set of exciting academic and nonacademic pursuits”可知，这里表达的是参与新的追求，动词短语engage in符合语境。work out主要指解决问题或进行锻炼等，keep off表示避开某物，rely on表示依靠某人或某物，均不符合此处的意思。故选A项。 14. With such an important decision ________, why not listen to your mom before ________? A. to make, having butterflies in your stomach B. to be made, having a frog in one’s throat C. to be made, taking the lead D. to make, jumping in with both feet 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词及动词短语辨析。句意：有这么重要的决定要做，为什么不在鲁莽行动前听听你妈妈的意见呢？ A. to make要做，主动表被动；having butterflies in your stomach紧张不安；B. to be made要被做；having a frog in one’s throat嗓子发紧说不出话；C. to be made要被做；taking the lead带头、领先；D. to make要做；jumping in with both feet鲁莽行事、仓促行动。 本句第一空为“with + 名词 + to do”结构，空处用动词不定式形式，表示动作发生在将来。故选A和D；第二空语境是“建议先听妈妈意见再行动”，需表达“不仓促行事”，应为“jumping in with both feet”，所以排除A选项，故选D。 15. An Olympic Marathon distance is 26 miles and 385 yards, approximately ______ from Marathon to Athens. A. the distance B. of the distance C. should be the distance D. is the distance 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查名词短语。句意：奥林匹克马拉松赛道长26英里385码，大致是从马拉松到雅典的距离。分析句子结构，逗号前面的句子结构完整，也就是说空格部分不能出现独立的谓语成分，因此C项和D项排除；空格部分成分为名词性短语用来进一步说明“26 miles and 385 yards”究竟有多长，B项排除，根据空后的“from Marathon to Athens”可知此处表示特指，distance前需要使用定冠词the。故选A。 第二节、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on ____16____ repeat throughout my childhood.

Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began. Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day. As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began. Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel. What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if its the only way. 41. What motivated the author to start her writing career? A. Her strong wish to share. B. Her keen interest in writing. C. Her urgent need to make a living. D. Her passionate desire for fame. 42. What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing? A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day. B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style. C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter. D. She was unsure about her writing skills. 43. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway? A. In case the clock in her room broke down. B. In case she failed to hear the ringing. C. To force herself out of bed. D. To wake up her family. 44. How did the author manage to finish her novel? A. By sticking to writing every morning. B. By writing when her mind was most active. C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels. D. By reducing her teaching hours at school. 45. What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career? A. It is never too late to change your job. B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time. C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action. D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者喜爱写作并制定计划一直坚持下来。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.”当人们问我是如何开始写作的时候，我发现自己在描述一种对语言的迫切需求。可知，促使作者开始她的写作生涯的原因是她对写作的强烈兴趣。故选B项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.”当我回到家时，在工作了一整天后，我写东西的精力已经不够了。可知，当作者决定开始写作时，因为她忙碌了一天之后，她筋疲力尽，无法再写作了。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway.”第一天我把它关掉了，因为我把它放在触手可及的地方。第二天，我调了两个钟，一个放在床头柜上，一个放在走廊上。可知，作者在走廊里放了一个闹钟的原因是为了强迫自己起床。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.”从1978年的第一个早晨开始，我一直遵循这个习惯，直到今天，不为不写作找任何借口。可知，作者能够写小说的原因是坚持每天早上写作。故选A项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.”我从摸黑起床工作中得到的是一种掌控一切的感觉。以及文章第四段“Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.”从1978年的第一个早晨开始，我一直遵循这个习惯，直到今天，不为不写作找任何借口。可知，紧凑的日程并不是不采取行动的借口。故选C项。 C Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end? Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted (植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains. For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression. However, it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe. How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain? A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists. Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us. 46. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. A summary of the article. B. An introduction to the main topic. C. An overview of the whole article. D. An argument over the main topic. 47. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3? A. The process of human-computer interaction. B. The possible treatment for particular diseases. C. The future of microchips and devices alike. D. The existing application of microchip implants. 48. What technical requirement must brain implants meet according to paragraph 4? A. They must be made of materials that dissolve over time. B. They need to be both chemically inactive and electrically responsive. C. They should only record brain activity without processing it. D. They must be able to power themselves using brain chemicals. 49. How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality? A. They may reject it. B. They may expect it. C. They may adjust to it. D. They may feel curious about it. 50. Which word can best describe the technology of computer-brain interface implants? A. Imaginary. B. Practical. C. Unfulfilled. D. Impossible. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了脑机接口植入技术的潜在应用、面临的挑战及社会接受度，指出该技术尚不成熟且存在伦理问题。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. (有些人担心我们的生活中有太多的科技.)”以及“It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end? (在我们的世界里，几乎很难避开科技。我们的手表、汽车、电灯开关甚至宠物身上都有电脑微芯片！这究竟会发展到什么地步？)”可知，作者在第一段通过列举生活中的科技现象，引出了文章要探讨的核心话题——科技(尤其是微芯片)在生活中的广泛应用及未来发展趋势，起到了引入文章主题的作用。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression. (例如，癫痫患者的大脑中已经植入了电极，以便更好地记录甚至预测异常的神经活动。同样，深部脑刺激(通过植入设备引发大脑关键区域的活动)也已成为治疗帕金森氏症等疾病的成熟疗法，目前甚至正在被研究用于治疗抑郁症等疾病。)”可知，作者列举癫痫和帕金森病等例子，是为了具体说明微芯片植入技术在医疗领域目前的实际应用情况。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. (大脑内部是高度活跃的化学物质和电活动的集合体。植入物需要足够静止，以免其存在扰乱这些微妙的过程，但同时也要足够灵敏，能够读取和处理周围的活动。)”可知，大脑植入物必须同时满足化学上的惰性(不干扰大脑)和电学上的敏感性(能读取和处理信号)。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines, and even more are frightened of dentists. (在现实中，让陌生人把芯片植入大脑的可能性很可能是不具吸引力的，尤其是对于这样一个群体：数以百万计的人因为疫苗中虚构的微芯片而愤怒，甚至有更多的人害怕看牙医。)”可知，在现实生活中，大多数美国人由于对未知事物的恐惧和不信任，很可能会拒绝将芯片植入大脑。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface implants is still far away from us. (最终，计算机-大脑接口植入技术距离我们仍然很遥远。)”可知，这项技术目前还未实现，还处于未实现的状态。C选项“Unfulfilled”意为“未实现的、未完成的”，符合语境。 D I struggle with letting go of things. Embarrassing situations that occurred decades ago still regularly pop into my mind and stress me out. I don’t seem to be able to move past them and forget them. Even small irrelevant things get me worked up. Can you suggest some techniques to move on and lead a calmer life? — A painful reader Since you said a lot of these are insignificant upon reflection, I’ll assume we’re not talking about big traumas (创伤) but the kinds of sour memories we all have. It feels unpleasant to be pulled back into the past, forced to relive those painful memories. So why do we keep going back? One possibility is that we feel not enough has changed. Time might have passed, but in the respects that matter, we still feel as though we’re right there. Still scared in the same ways those situations made us feel, still vulnerable (易受伤害的) to those same stressors, even uninsured against the same mistakes. If you feel as though a lot has changed since an indignity, the memory feels more like a postcard from somewhere distant. But if you feel the same in the ways that matter, an upsetting thing from the past can still seem threatening to some extent that version of us persists today. Or maybe we go back to these memories because there’s some unanswered question we keep trying to solve. Why did I say that? Why did they do that? If I’d done that differently, would this have changed? Maybe, more rarely, we go back because we’re bored. Sometimes if present-day life doesn’t quite feel stimulating enough we can go back to conflicts or hard choices from the past, because even though they were unpleasant, they somehow feel more real. Therapy can help figure out which it is for you. When the distressing thought comes knocking why does it seem worth opening the door? That would really help you tailor your strategies. The calm you’ll need if you’re trying to solve a question may not be the calm you need if you still feel vulnerable in those same ways. Well-meaning people might say you need closure, a way to tell a coherent (有条理的) story. Closure is great if you can get it, but I’m not convinced it’s essential. What concerns me is that trying to find narratively pleasing ways to transform painful memories ultimately makes our capacity to move on, depending on whether we can make sense of those events. Coherence may be genuinely beyond our reach. Bad luck doesn’t make sense. People don’t always have a “why”. I think it’s less “I have to get closure” and more “I have to see this as past, over”. As you try to figure out what is captivating about these memories, it might help to try seeing them in past tense. Not solved, just over — not a source of new pain, not part of a pattern; an echo of hurts gone by. 51. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a personal problem B. To introduce a practical solution C. To state the main argument D. To summarize the columnist’s advice 52. What does the underlined word “indignity” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A. A positive event that brings pride and honor B. A painful or embarrassing event that hurts one’s feeling C. A common daily activity that is easily forgotten D. An unexpected occurrence that brings good fortune 53. According to the columnist, why do we keep going back to painful memories? A. (a) Becoming stronger over time; (b) Gaining closure; (c) Seeking peace B. (a) Avoiding current problems; (b) Hoping to erase past; (c) Searching for luck C. (a) Developing new skills; (b) Rewriting the past; (c) Enjoying old conflicts D. (a) Still vulnerable as before; (b) Wondering “why”; (c) Feeling bored in present life 54. What concern does the author express about the idea of “closure”? A. Closure is unnecessary and irrelevant for individuals stuck in pain. B. Closure relies on making sense of events, which may be impossible. C. Closure can only be achieved through constructing a touching story. D. Closure is seen as more valuable than the ability to move forward. 55. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s advice? A. Painful memories must be carefully analyzed to gain wisdom. B. Forgetting the past is the only way to achieve peace eternally. C. Painful memories should be seen as finished events, not threats. D. One could resolve painful memories by rewriting his own past. 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. D 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕读者提出的“难以放下痛苦回忆”的困扰，分析了人们反复回想痛苦回忆的原因，并给出了相应的建议，帮助读者以更平和的心态面对过往。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I struggle with letting go of things. Embarrassing situations that occurred decades ago still regularly pop into my mind and stress me out.(我很难放下过往旧事，多年前的尴尬经历总会浮现脑海，让我倍感压力)”可知，首段目的是呈现读者的个人困扰问题。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“But if you feel the same in the ways that matter, an upsetting thing from the past can still seem threatening to some extent that version of us persists today.(但倘若你在那些重要的方面也有同样的感受，那么过去的那些令人不安的事情仍会在某种程度上给人带来威胁感，因为那个“过去的自己”至今仍在影响着现在的你)”可知，“If you feel as though a lot has changed since an indignity, the memory feels more like a postcard from somewhere distant.(如果你感觉经历一次indignity后，一切都变了，那么这段记忆就会像一张来自遥远地方的明信片那样，显得有些遥远而模糊)”中indignity指代an unpleasant thing，即伤人内心的痛苦、尴尬之事。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Still scared in the same ways those situations made us feel, still vulnerable (易受伤害的) to those same stressors, even uninsured against the same mistakes.(仍然有着和那些情形所引发的恐惧相同的感觉，仍然容易受到那些相同的压力因素的影响，甚至也无法避免犯下同样的错误)”、第五段“Or maybe we go back to these memories because there’s some unanswered question we keep trying to solve. Why did I say that? Why did they do that? If I’d done that differently, would this have changed?(或许我们回想起这些往事，是因为我们心中存在着一些尚未解答的问题，而我们一直在努力去寻找答案。我为什么会那样说？他们为什么会那样做？如果我当初采取不同的做法，结果会不会有所不同呢？)”以及第六段“Maybe, more rarely, we go back because we’re bored. Sometimes if present-day life doesn’t quite feel stimulating enough we can go back to conflicts or hard choices from the past, because even though they were unpleasant, they somehow feel more real.(或许，较为少见的情况是，我们之所以会回到过去，是因为感到无聊。有时，如果当下的生活感觉不够刺激，我们就会回到过去的冲突或艰难抉择中去，因为尽管那些经历令人不快，但它们却在某种程度上让人觉得更加真实)”可知，人们反复回想痛苦回忆的原因包括：依然和以前一样脆弱、想弄明白“为什么”以及当下生活感到无聊。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What concerns me is that trying to find narratively pleasing ways to transform painful memories ultimately makes our capacity to move on, depending on whether we can make sense of those events. Coherence may be genuinely beyond our reach.(令我担忧的是，试图以富有叙事魅力的方式将痛苦的记忆加以转化，这最终决定了我们能否继续前行——关键在于我们能否理解这些经历。而这种理解可能真的超出了我们的能力范围)”可知，作者对“释怀”这一概念的担忧是，释怀依赖于理解事件的来龙去脉，但这是不容易实现的。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As you try to figure out what is captivating about these memories, it might help to try seeing them in past tense. Not solved, just over — not a source of new pain, not part of a pattern; an echo of hurts gone by.(当你试图弄清楚这些记忆为何如此吸引人时，试着以过去时态来回顾这些记忆或许会有所帮助。它们并非尚未解决的问题，而是已经结束的过去；它们不再带来新的痛苦，也不再是某种模式的一部分；它们只是过去伤痛的回响)”可推知，作者的建议是，应将痛苦的回忆视为已经结束的事情，而不是威胁。 第II卷（非选择题） 第一节、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 For seven months, the dark-haired violinist at the 34th Street subway station had been just part of my morning background noise. His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words. The morning when everything changed began ordinarily enough — another rainy March day, another hurried commute. As I mechanically dropped a dollar into his open case, his bow suddenly stilled. “Excuse me,” he said with a mild Eastern European accent. “Your right shoelace…” I glanced down to see the lace untied and covered in mud. When I bent down to retie it, the musician knelt beside me, his violin momentarily forgotten. “Dangcrous in crowds,” he remarked, demonstrating a double-knot technique. In that awkward position, I finally noticed the Budapest Academy of Music pin (别针) fastened inside his instrument case. “Thank you...?” I hesitated, realizing I’d never learned his name. “László,” he supplied, then surprised me by asking, “You always walk so fast. To where?” That simple question revamped my routine. As trains came and went, we talked — about his transition from concert halls to subway platforms after moving to America, about my grandmother’s Hungarian (匈牙利的) heritage. When he played “Szomorú Vasárnap” in recognition of our shared roots, the familiar melody stopped me mid-step. I was thrilled by the break from my dull routine. Now my commute includes scheduled pauses. On Mondays, I bring László fresh violin strings from the music store near my office. On Thursdays, he brings me a copy of the Hungarian newspaper he reads. What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places. Sometimes, when latecomers rush past our conversations, I see my former self in their hurried steps. They don’t know what they’re missing — the subway’s best musician won’t call after them about untied laces. That privilege belongs only to those who finally stop moving long enough to listen. 56. What did the author use to do while passing the violinist? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did the author stop to talk to the violinist? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 probably mean? (1 word) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? (no more than 12 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 60. How does the author’s story inspire you? (no more than 25 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. The author dropped change but never exchanged words/ said anything. 57. Because the violinist warned the author of the untied/ loose shoelace. 58. Broke./ Changed./ Interrupted. 59. They developed friendship. Or: They had more connections after the accidental meeting. Or: The author’s routine changed, leading to meaningful connections with László. 60. (Open) One possible answer: It inspires me that profound connections often begin with simple acts of attention and we should slow down to make bonds with others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者以前在地铁站路过一位小提琴手时都是放下零钱，从不交谈，有一次那位小提琴手提醒作者鞋带松了，之后两人开始交谈，这也改变了作者的习惯，并和小提琴手建立了友谊。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words.(他精确的Vivaldi表演与火车广播和我赶去会计工作时发出的咔哒声混在一起，我偶尔会掉零钱，但从不说话)”可知，作者以前经过那位小提琴手时放下零钱，但从未说过一句话，故答案是The author dropped change but never exchanged words/ said anything. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“As I mechanically dropped a dollar into his open case, his bow suddenly stilled. ‘Excuse me,’ he said with a mild Eastern European accent. ‘Your right shoelace…’(我机械地往他打开的箱子里扔了一美元，他的弓突然停住了。‘对不起，’他带着轻微的东欧口音说。‘你右边的鞋带……’)”可知，因为小提琴手提醒作者鞋带松了，所以作者停下来和他说话，故答案是Because the violinist warned the author of the untied/ loose shoelace. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第一段中“His precise Vivaldi performances blended with train announcements and clicking heels as I rushed to my accounting job, occasionally dropping change but never exchanging words.(他精确的Vivaldi表演与火车广播和我赶去会计工作时发出的咔哒声混在一起，我偶尔会掉零钱，但从不说话)”和划线词后“As trains came and went, we talked — about his transition from concert halls to subway platforms after moving to America, about my grandmother’s Hungarian (匈牙利的) heritage.(火车进进出出的时候，我们聊了聊他搬到美国后从音乐厅到地铁站台的转变，聊我祖母的匈牙利血统)”可知，作者以前从未和小提琴手说过话，后文提到他们聊了很多，作者原来的习惯被打破了，由此推知划线词所在句意为“这个简单的问题打破(或改变或中断)了我的习惯”，故答案是Broke./ Changed./ Interrupted. 【59题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第六段“Now my commute includes scheduled pauses. On Mondays, I bring László fresh violin strings from the music store near my office. On Thursdays, he brings me a copy of the Hungarian newspaper he reads. What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places.(现在我的通勤包括了安排好的休息。每周一，我从办公室附近的乐器店买László新鲜的小提琴弦。每周四，他都会给我带来一份他读的匈牙利报纸。最初的鞋带警告已经发展成为一件了不起的事情——证明在城市生活的机械匆忙之下，人与人之间的联系仍然在最不可能的地方蓬勃发展)”可知，本段主要讲述作者的日常生活发生了变化，与László建立了友谊，故答案为They developed friendship. Or: They had more connections after the accidental meeting. Or: The author’s routine changed, leading to meaningful connections with László. 【60题详解】 考查开放题型。本题是开放题型，答案合理即可。根据全文内容，结合倒数第二段中“What began as a shoelace warning has grown into something remarkable — proof that beneath the mechanical rush of city life, human connections still flourish in the unlikeliest places.(最初的鞋带警告已经发展成为一件了不起的事情——证明在城市生活的机械匆忙之下，人与人之间的联系仍然在最不可能的地方蓬勃发展)”和最后一段“Sometimes, when latecomers rush past our conversations, I see my former self in their hurried steps. They don’t know what they’re missing — the subway’s best musician won’t call after them about untied laces. That privilege belongs only to those who finally stop moving long enough to listen.(有时，当迟到的人匆匆走过我们的谈话时，我在他们匆忙的脚步中看到了以前的自己。他们不知道他们错过了什么——地铁里最好的音乐家不会在他们身后打电话说鞋带松了。这种特权只属于那些最终停下来倾听的人)”可知，作者的故事给我的启发是，深刻的联系往往始于简单的关注行为，我们应该放慢脚步，与他人建立联系，故答案是(Open) One possible answer: It inspires me that profound connections often begin with simple acts of attention and we should slow down to make bonds with others. 第二节、书面表达（共1小题；共25分） 请用黑色水笔将下面作文的范文工整地抄写在答题纸上。 61. 本学期，你校英语学科开展了“Change Makers in Our Community”项目式学习活动，活动以“什么样的人在改变我们的世界”为驱动性问题，引导同学们结合自己的学识，探究不同领域的优秀人物，理解“making a difference”的深刻内涵。请你以“Change Makers in Our Community”为题，选择你了解的一位人物，为班级项目成果展板撰写一段英文推荐语。 内容包括：1．人物介绍及主要贡献； 2．你对人物的评价（精神品质、影响力等）。 注意：1．写作词数不少于100； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Change Makers in Our Community Tu Youyou is an extraordinary change maker whose medical discovery has benefited humanity worldwide.
