His decades of hands-on experience have established him as a master in the field. Arriving in Angola during the project’s challenging early phase, Chen faced a critical issue: a severe shortage of proficient workers and limited access to technical resources in the remote area. He swiftly initiated intensive professional training programs. “In the beginning, local workers had no awareness of material dangers. Safety consciousness was very low,” Chen recounted, citing an astonishing incident where a local worker casually placed bags of explosives on the ground. “I stopped him immediately and patiently explained the risks, emphasizing that they must be handled gently and never thrown so casually,” he added. Training methods have since evolved significantly. “We break down complex procedures into simple steps and use Portuguese mnemonics (memory aids). Now, we can train a competent operator within a month,” Chen said. Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning Portuguese, the country’s official language. “Sometimes the longest distance isn’t the miles between hemispheres, but me gesturing frantically in front of you while you remain utterly confused!” Chen remarked on the initial language barrier. He carried a notebook constantly, jotting down new words and phrases learned from local workers, diligently reviewing them each night. Within two months, Chen was proficient enough to assign tasks to Angolan staff in Portuguese. His practical communication skills proved highly effective. “Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being understood. Combine it with gestures for maximum efficiency.” Beyond Portuguese for daily operations, Chen also uses English to communicate with project owners and supervisors. He now routinely greets local workers on site in Portuguese every morning. Chen stressed the critical importance of clear communication and genuinely resolving issues for Angolan staff. “If an employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure it’s corrected,” he said. This consistent approach has earned Chen deep trust among his Angolan colleagues, who frequently hail him as “our good captain from China”. 24．(2.5分)What were the two challenges Chen faced at the early stage of the project? A．Lack of funding and remote location. B．Shortfall of skilled labor and technical resources. C．Outdated equipment and harsh climate conditions. D．Ineffective training methods and language barriers. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mainly suggest? A．Gesturing alone is insufficient for precise communication. B．Cultural differences are the toughest problem in the overseas project. C．Physical distance is no longer a barrier in modern engineering projects. D．Language barriers can create more obstacles than geographical separation. 26．(2.5分)Which statement best captures Chen’s philosophy on workplace communication? A．English is essential for daily task assignment. B．Language accuracy should be given the first priority. C．Being understood is more important than being perfect. D．Verbal communication alone is sufficient for most situations 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Chen’s success in Angola? A．It reflects China’s superior training system. B．It mainly results from his technical expertise. C．It depends on his willingness to work with local staff. D．It shows English’s importance in international projects. （本题10分）We often say, “It’s on the tip of my tongue,” when we are sure we know a word but cannot recall it at that moment. This is not merely a clever idiom; it reflects a real neurological phenomenon called “lethologica”. The term comes from the Greek words “lethe”, meaning “forgetfulness”, and “logos”, meaning “word”, though researchers usually refer to it as a tip- of-the-tongue state, or TOT state. TOT states occur worldwide. A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience. But why does it happen? Producing language is a complex process in which the brain transforms abstract ideas into words. Normally this works smoothly, explains Karin Humphreys from Canada’s McMaster University. “In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,” she said in 2015. Interestingly, TOT states can repeat for the same word. A 2008 study showed that the longer someone struggles to recall a word before being reminded, the more likely they are to experience another TOT state when trying to remember it later. On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study. People are able to regain the intended word more than 90% of the time. TOT states are more likely when individuals are tired and when they attempt to remember proper names. Age also plays a role: a 1999 diary study found that TOT states occur about once or twice a week for young adults aged 18 to 24, but they are twice as frequent for those aged 80 to 92. This phenomenon fascinates researchers because it shows how memory, language, and cognition can momentarily become disconnected, leaving us knowing that a word exists even when it temporarily slips from reach. 28．(2.5分)What can we learn from the 1999 survey? A．TOT states are similar in English-speaking countries. B．Most languages have similar expressions for the TOT state. C．People from Greece suffer more from TOT states. D．Over three-quarters of people experience TOT worldwide. 29．(2.5分)Why do people fall into a TOT state according to Karin Humphreys? A．They have too many abstract ideas in their mind. B．They haven’t practiced the new words enough. C．Their brain fails to finish the language producing process. D．Their memory is permanently damaged by tiredness. 30．(2.5分)How can people avoid forgetting the same word again? A．Try to recall the word by themselves. B．Wait patiently until someone reminds them of it. C．Increase the chance to repeat it. D．Turn to researchers for professional help. 31．(2.5分)Which is the best title for the text? A．The Origins of the Well-known Idioms B．Different Symptoms of TOT at Different Levels C．Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence D．The Connection Between Age and Language （本题10分）It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 32．(2.5分)What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A．The importance of remembering important moments. B．The inconsistency between words and meaning. C．The necessity of indirect communication. D．The possibility of argument in a couple's life. 33．(2.5分)What may make human language different from true codes? A．The context included in understanding meanings. B．The definitions made by words in communication. C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 34．(2.5分)How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” show about irony? A．It uses fewer words to save time. B．It uses a long sentence to show simple feelings. C．It needs detailed explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 35．(2.5分)What does the author suggest in communication? A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally. C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones. （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication. B．Luckily, it is never too late to correct these false views. C．Learners tend to prefer fluency to accuracy in daily study. D．Besides, language learning is wrongly seen as an individual task. E．People often ignore the cultural value behind language learning. F．They keep using the same language learned in school and never dare to try a second one. G．We can also build cross-cultural communication skills via relevant music, movies and books. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now”, I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was 41 . I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it, “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mix of 42 and maybe even embarrassment. I was 43 . Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being 44 just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a (an) 45 for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I 46 at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. 47 I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of the total confusion. This experience 48 from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a(n) 49 in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken 50 ; its meaning changes greatly with 51 . As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when 52 an offer. Difficulty in explaining what I have come to call “Ahorita Time” is a 53 of different cultural understandings of time. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for 54 , but when I’m not, I don’t feel 55 . Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time,” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before. 41．(1分)A．distant B．immediate C．vague D．confusing 42．(1分)A．anger B．curiosity C．confusion D．astonishment 43．(1分)A．discouraged B．awkward C．torn D．annoyed 44．(1分)A．conveyed B．delivered C．reserved D．restricted 45．(1分)A．rush B．call C．resolution D．requirement 46．(1分)A．waved B．signaled C．screamed D．smiled 47．(1分)A．Completely B．Significantly C．Unhappily D．Obviously 48．(1分)A．faded B．arose C．emerged D．accumulated 49．(1分)A．interest B．insight C．exploration D．fluency 50．(1分)A．literally B．seriously C．deeply D．strongly 51．(1分)A．intention B．character C．culture D．context 52．(1分)A．rejecting B．injecting C．giving D．accepting 53．(1分)A．mixture B．secret C．reflection D．preparation 54．(1分)A．arguments B．appointments C．amusements D．statements 55．(1分)A．dizzy B．isolated C．panicked D．satisfied 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I have always been drawn to music and languages, so I signed up for my school’s integrated course on English and guqin culture. Touching a classical Chinese instrument for the first time was 56(1.5分) truly unique experience. With every pluck and stroke of the strings, I felt a strange yet familiar emotion. The English part of the course focused on 57(1.5分) (learn) vocabulary related to the guqin, as well as reading and translating articles about this traditional string instrument. I particularly enjoyed knowing how 58(1.5分) (choose) the right words and expressions. But the most special part of the course was the exchange activities with young people from other countries. Delivering a speech confidently on the stage 59(1.5分) (take) a lot of effort, as I had to pay close attention to my pronunciation, word choice, clarity of expression, body language and how I interacted 60(1.5分) the audience. I 61(1.5分) (vivid) remembered standing on the podium, introducing traditional Chinese music and playing the guqin. I felt a strong sense of achievement. Beyond the formal events, we often continued our conversations long after the activities ended. By overcoming language 62(1.5分) (obstacle) and looking beyond differences in race and culture, we discovered how much young people around the world valued mutual understanding, inclusivity 63(1.5分) harmony in diversity. Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained and 64(1.5分) (competence) guqin players. I believe such experiences also teach us to respect different cultures, 65(1.5分) is invaluable in our growth. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是高二学生李华，你最近在英语听说能力上遇到了瓶颈，感到十分焦虑。请你给外教Emma写一封邮件求助，内容包括： 1. 简述你在听说方面遇到的困难； 2. 恳请她给予建议或指导，并表达感谢。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Emma, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 When my plane touched down in Guadalajara, Mexico, I got off with a plastic-bound conversational Spanish guide. The agency arranging the homestay for my college-level study abroad hadn’t been able to give me any details about the woman I would be living with for the next few months. So I searched the crowd to look for my mysterious hostess. I scanned the crowd, and then saw her, who looked to be nearly sixty, with strong fingers gripping a white piece of paper with my name scrawled (潦草地写) across it in black ink. I moved toward the unsmiling woman. “League Aun?” she pointed to the sign and asked in a pronunciation that was new to me. “Yeah, Leigh Ann,” I replied. She nodded and let the sign drop to her side. She looked relieved, and I felt relieved that she suddenly had shown some warmth. She was, after all, the only person in Mexico who knew how to spell my name. “Mi nombre Leigh Ann. Soy de los montañas de Carolina Del Norte.” My name is Leigh Ann. I’m from the mountains of North Carolina. That was the extent of my Spanish. She nodded again. My name was the extent of her English. Then she began to speak Spanish, her words flowing faster than river rapids. I could tell she was trying to give me the information I needed to adjust to life in Guadalajara, but I couldn’t even remember how to say I didn’t understand. The first few days I lived with Señora Montañas, my hostess, it was impossible to communicate even the simplest things. Another American student boarder who had just arrived, Katie, became my translator. When we returned after school, Señora asked about our days. First, she addressed Katie and then me. I simply smiled, but still she asked every day, as if she already knew that soon I would be able to answer. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Every afternoon, an hour before mealtime, Señora invited me to the kitchen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, I sensed a shift — not only in my Spanish, but in my relationship with Señora. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Do you think i'm a good communicator in general?

The argumentative essay is a very interesting type of essay. The point of an argumentative essay is basically to make an argument. You are not telling the reader about something new or describing anything. Instead, you have to convince them about something. A good argument must be clear and logical. Indeed, many chinese students find IT difficult to write good essays in schools and universities in america. IT is not because there is no history of essays in china, rather, there is a very long history of essays, but they have their own unique features, primarily, chinese students are used to the kind of essays that with the writer's argument at the end, the first several parts introduced the topic or different views. These lead to a turn, which introduces conflict and different aspects. Finally, these are concluded in america. Most teachers like essays that states the conclusion of the argument in the first paragraph. While some people might regard many chinese students essays as badly written, IT is important to remember that they are actually written very well according to chinese style. Therefore, IT is essential to point out early how the western style is different. Once the chinese students know about the differences, they can easily adapt their riding to the correct cultural context. The argumentative essay is a very interesting type of essay. The point of an argumentative essay is basically to make an argument. You are not telling the reader about something new or describing anything. Instead, you have to convince them about something. A good argument must be clear and logical. Indeed, many chinese students find IT difficult to write good essays in schools and universities in america. IT is not because there is no history of essays in china, rather, there is a very long history of essays, but they have their own unique features. Primarily, chinese students are used to the kind of essays that put the writers are at the end. The first several parts introduced the topic or different views. These lead to a turn, which introduces conflict and different aspects. Finally, these are concluded in america. Most teachers like essays that stayed the conclusion of the argument in the first paragraph.

W: Oh, I didn’t notice that. M: Using gestures to express what you’re thinking is commonplace in some countries, but a gesture can mean different things in different countries. For instance, shaking your head mostly means “no”, but in other countries it can mean the opposite. So the question is: In which country does shaking your head mean “yes”? Greece, Japan or Bulgaria? W: Umm … No idea. Maybe Bulgaria? But I do know Indians shake their heads to mean lots of things. That goes completely over my head. M: You’ve hit it this time. We need to be careful to avoid offense when greeting people from other cultures with gestures. Now we’ll invite Erin Meyer to talk about misunderstandings and confusions in multicultural conversations and analyze the reasons. （本题6分）听下面一段独白，完成下面小题。 17．(1.5分)What is basically the most important to an argumentative essay?

His decades of hands-on experience have established him as a master in the field. Arriving in Angola during the project’s challenging early phase, Chen faced a critical issue: a severe shortage of proficient workers and limited access to technical resources in the remote area. He swiftly initiated intensive professional training programs. “In the beginning, local workers had no awareness of material dangers. Safety consciousness was very low,” Chen recounted, citing an astonishing incident where a local worker casually placed bags of explosives on the ground. “I stopped him immediately and patiently explained the risks, emphasizing that they must be handled gently and never thrown so casually,” he added. Training methods have since evolved significantly. “We break down complex procedures into simple steps and use Portuguese mnemonics (memory aids). Now, we can train a competent operator within a month,” Chen said. Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning Portuguese, the country’s official language. “Sometimes the longest distance isn’t the miles between hemispheres, but me gesturing frantically in front of you while you remain utterly confused!” Chen remarked on the initial language barrier. He carried a notebook constantly, jotting down new words and phrases learned from local workers, diligently reviewing them each night. Within two months, Chen was proficient enough to assign tasks to Angolan staff in Portuguese. His practical communication skills proved highly effective. “Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being understood. Combine it with gestures for maximum efficiency.” Beyond Portuguese for daily operations, Chen also uses English to communicate with project owners and supervisors. He now routinely greets local workers on site in Portuguese every morning. Chen stressed the critical importance of clear communication and genuinely resolving issues for Angolan staff. “If an employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure it’s corrected,” he said. This consistent approach has earned Chen deep trust among his Angolan colleagues, who frequently hail him as “our good captain from China”. 24．(2.5分)What were the two challenges Chen faced at the early stage of the project? A．Lack of funding and remote location. B．Shortfall of skilled labor and technical resources. C．Outdated equipment and harsh climate conditions. D．Ineffective training methods and language barriers. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mainly suggest? A．Gesturing alone is insufficient for precise communication. B．Cultural differences are the toughest problem in the overseas project. C．Physical distance is no longer a barrier in modern engineering projects. D．Language barriers can create more obstacles than geographical separation. 26．(2.5分)Which statement best captures Chen’s philosophy on workplace communication? A．English is essential for daily task assignment. B．Language accuracy should be given the first priority. C．Being understood is more important than being perfect. D．Verbal communication alone is sufficient for most situations 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Chen’s success in Angola? A．It reflects China’s superior training system. B．It mainly results from his technical expertise. C．It depends on his willingness to work with local staff. D．It shows English’s importance in international projects. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国工程师陈剑峰在安哥拉一水电站项目克服初期挑战，通过创新培训、学习葡萄牙语打破语言障碍，并以务实沟通赢得当地团队信任的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Arriving in Angola during the project’s challenging early phase, Chen faced a critical issue: a severe shortage of proficient workers and limited access to technical resources in the remote area. (在项目艰难的初期阶段，陈剑峰抵达了安哥拉。他面临一个严峻的问题：该偏远地区缺乏熟练工人，而且获取技术资源的渠道也很有限。)”可知，项目初期陈剑峰面临的两大挑战是熟练工人短缺和技术资源匮乏。故选B项。 25．词句猜测题。根据画线句“Sometimes the longest distance isn’t the miles between hemispheres, but me gesturing frantically in front of you while you remain utterly confused! (有时，最遥远的距离并非是不同半球之间的距离，而是当我在你面前疯狂地比划着，而你却完全一头雾水！)”可知，该句通过对比“半球距离”（地理分隔）和“比划却无法沟通”（语言障碍），表明语言障碍可能比地理分隔造成更多阻碍。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being understood. Combine it with gestures for maximum efficiency.” (陈剑峰说：“语言学习并非追求完美，而是要被理解。将它与手势相结合，以达到最高效率。”)”可知，最能体现陈剑峰职场沟通理念的陈述是“被理解比追求完美更重要”。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段中“He swiftly initiated intensive professional training programs. (他迅速启动了密集的专业培训项目。)”、第三段中“Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning Portuguese, the country’s official language. (认识到沟通的重要性，陈剑峰致力于学习葡萄牙语，这是该国的官方语言。)”和最后一段中“If an employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure it’s corrected (如果员工发现工资发放有误，我会立即与人力资源部门核实，并确保问题得到解决。)”可知，陈剑峰培训当地工人、学习语言、积极为员工解决薪资问题，展现了主动融入、赋能本地团队的协作精神。由此推知，他在安哥拉的成功依赖于他愿意与当地员工协作的意愿。故选C项。 （本题10分）We often say, “It’s on the tip of my tongue,” when we are sure we know a word but cannot recall it at that moment. This is not merely a clever idiom; it reflects a real neurological phenomenon called “lethologica”. The term comes from the Greek words “lethe”, meaning “forgetfulness”, and “logos”, meaning “word”, though researchers usually refer to it as a tip- of-the-tongue state, or TOT state. TOT states occur worldwide. A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience. But why does it happen? Producing language is a complex process in which the brain transforms abstract ideas into words. Normally this works smoothly, explains Karin Humphreys from Canada’s McMaster University. “In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,” she said in 2015. Interestingly, TOT states can repeat for the same word. A 2008 study showed that the longer someone struggles to recall a word before being reminded, the more likely they are to experience another TOT state when trying to remember it later. On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study. People are able to regain the intended word more than 90% of the time. TOT states are more likely when individuals are tired and when they attempt to remember proper names. Age also plays a role: a 1999 diary study found that TOT states occur about once or twice a week for young adults aged 18 to 24, but they are twice as frequent for those aged 80 to 92. This phenomenon fascinates researchers because it shows how memory, language, and cognition can momentarily become disconnected, leaving us knowing that a word exists even when it temporarily slips from reach. 28．(2.5分)What can we learn from the 1999 survey? A．TOT states are similar in English-speaking countries. B．Most languages have similar expressions for the TOT state. C．People from Greece suffer more from TOT states. D．Over three-quarters of people experience TOT worldwide. 29．(2.5分)Why do people fall into a TOT state according to Karin Humphreys? A．They have too many abstract ideas in their mind. B．They haven’t practiced the new words enough. C．Their brain fails to finish the language producing process. D．Their memory is permanently damaged by tiredness. 30．(2.5分)How can people avoid forgetting the same word again? A．Try to recall the word by themselves. B．Wait patiently until someone reminds them of it. C．Increase the chance to repeat it. D．Turn to researchers for professional help. 31．(2.5分)Which is the best title for the text? A．The Origins of the Well-known Idioms B．Different Symptoms of TOT at Different Levels C．Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence D．The Connection Between Age and Language 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．A 31．C 【导语】文章主要解释了“话到嘴边想不起来”这一现象，探讨了其神经学原理、触发因素及应对方法，揭示了记忆、语言和认知的暂时性脱节。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience.(1999年的一项调查发现，超过四分之三的语言使用与英语类似的舌头隐喻来描述这种体验。)”可知，1999年的调查表明大多数语言都有与英语类似的表达方式来描述TOT状态。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,’ she said in 2015.(然而在TOT状态下，这个系统会崩溃，你会在中途卡住。)”可知，根据Karin Humphreys的说法，人们陷入TOT状态是因为大脑未能完成语言产生的过程。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study.(相反，2015年的一项研究发现，自己回忆起该单词会减少重复的可能性。)”可知，人们可以通过自己回忆单词来避免再次遗忘同一个词。 31．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了“话到嘴边想不起来（TOT state）”这一神经现象，解释了它为什么会发生——即大脑在语言产生过程中暂时“卡壳”的原因。C选项“Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence(为什么你的大脑有时会在句子中间卡壳)”最能概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。 （本题10分）It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 32．(2.5分)What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A．The importance of remembering important moments. B．The inconsistency between words and meaning. C．The necessity of indirect communication. D．The possibility of argument in a couple's life. 33．(2.5分)What may make human language different from true codes? A．The context included in understanding meanings. B．The definitions made by words in communication. C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 34．(2.5分)How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” show about irony? A．It uses fewer words to save time. B．It uses a long sentence to show simple feelings. C．It needs detailed explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 35．(2.5分)What does the author suggest in communication? A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally. C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones. 【答案】32．B 33．A 34．D 35．C 【导语】文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日！那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢？这两件事有关系吗？)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(沟通不仅仅是言语，还包括说话的方式、语调、顺序，甚至某个词语的选择)”可推知，第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言并非一种编码。真正的编码具有意义与声音之间的一一对应关系，即一个声音对应一个定义。这正是我们观察到动物行为时的情况。威尔逊和斯佩伯指出：“当发出者和接收者使用完全相同的编码时，编码式交流效果最佳。” 但人类的情况并非如此。我们的交流远超词语本身所表达的含义。这种交流属于推断性沟通，意味着我们不仅理解所说的话语，还理解其出现的语境)”可知，理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。 34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语就是一个绝佳的例子，展示了我们如何用寥寥数语就能强有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是表达相反的意思。例如，当玛丽在一场无聊的派对后说“那很有趣”，她既没有字面意思上表示派对很有趣，也没有“讽刺地”说明派对无聊。相反，她是在表达一种情绪。三个词取代了整段文字，充分展现了语言的高效性)”可知，玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思，从而说明了反语的特点。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯佩伯得出结论：人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大，是因为人类具备两种独特的能力：语言本身，以及解读他人心理状态的能力。我们会在听到的词语中寻找语境，并且应当非常擅长吸收这些语境以推断其含义)”可推知，作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思，也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。 （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication.

So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now”, I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was 41 . I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it, “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mix of 42 and maybe even embarrassment. I was 43 . Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being 44 just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a (an) 45 for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I 46 at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. 47 I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of the total confusion. This experience 48 from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a(n) 49 in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken 50 ; its meaning changes greatly with 51 . As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when 52 an offer. Difficulty in explaining what I have come to call “Ahorita Time” is a 53 of different cultural understandings of time. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for 54 , but when I’m not, I don’t feel 55 . Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time,” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before. 41．(1分)A．distant B．immediate C．vague D．confusing 42．(1分)A．anger B．curiosity C．confusion D．astonishment 43．(1分)A．discouraged B．awkward C．torn D．annoyed 44．(1分)A．conveyed B．delivered C．reserved D．restricted 45．(1分)A．rush B．call C．resolution D．requirement 46．(1分)A．waved B．signaled C．screamed D．smiled 47．(1分)A．Completely B．Significantly C．Unhappily D．Obviously 48．(1分)A．faded B．arose C．emerged D．accumulated 49．(1分)A．interest B．insight C．exploration D．fluency 50．(1分)A．literally B．seriously C．deeply D．strongly 51．(1分)A．intention B．character C．culture D．context 52．(1分)A．rejecting B．injecting C．giving D．accepting 53．(1分)A．mixture B．secret C．reflection D．preparation 54．(1分)A．arguments B．appointments C．amusements D．statements 55．(1分)A．dizzy B．isolated C．panicked D．satisfied 【答案】 41．B 42．C 43．C 44．B 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．A 49．D 50．A 51．D 52．A 53．C 54．B 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在墨西哥时因不懂“ahorita”的含义而空等冰淇淋，多年后发现“ahorita”含义非常丰富，这一语言的用法反映不同文化对时间理解的差异，也改变了作者对时间的态度。 【详解】41．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：所以，当我向当地的冰淇淋小贩要冰淇淋时，他说“ahorita”，直接翻译过来就是“马上”，我相信了他的话，以为冰淇淋立即就会到。A. distant遥远的；B. immediate立即的；C. vague模糊的；D. confusing令人困惑的。根据上文“and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now”, I took him at his word”可知，作者把小贩说的“ahorita”理解为“马上”，相信了他的话，因此指以为冰淇淋立即就会到。故选B。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他的脸上混杂着困惑，甚至可能是尴尬。A. anger愤怒；B. curiosity好奇心；C. confusion困惑；D. astonishment惊讶。根据下文“His face was, once again, one of the total confusion.”可知，此时小贩的脸上混杂着困惑，甚至可能是尴尬。故选C。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我很犹豫不定。A. discouraged气馁的；B. awkward尴尬的；C. torn犹豫不定的；D. annoyed恼怒的。根据下文“Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away”可知，长时间的等待并不愉快，但作者觉得走开是不礼貌的，因此指犹豫不定。故选C。 44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：长时间的等待并不愉快，但我觉得走开是不礼貌的，尤其是现在冰淇淋是专门为我送的。A. conveyed传达；B. delivered递送；C. reserved保留；D. restricted限制。根据上文“So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream”可知，作者向小贩要了一份冰淇淋，因此指现在冰淇淋是专门为作者送的。故选B。 45．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但最后，在等了太长时间之后，我匆忙去找最近的公共汽车回家。A. rush匆忙；B. call呼叫；C. resolution决心；D. requirement要求。根据上文“after waiting too long”可知，作者等了太长时间，再结合下文“for nearest bus to take me home”可推知，因为花了太多时间等待，作者最后匆忙去找最近的公共汽车回家，短语make a rush意为“匆忙行动”。故选A。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：离开时，我用手腕打了个手势，对卖冰淇淋的人耸了耸肩。A. waved挥手；B. signaled示意；C. screamed尖叫；D. smiled微笑。根据下文“at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller”可推知，作者是通过肢体语言向卖冰淇淋的人传达自己的意思，是用手腕打了个手势。故选B。 47．考查副词词义辨析。句意：显然，我不能再等了，这真的不是我的错。A.

The agency arranging the homestay for my college-level study abroad hadn’t been able to give me any details about the woman I would be living with for the next few months. So I searched the crowd to look for my mysterious hostess. I scanned the crowd, and then saw her, who looked to be nearly sixty, with strong fingers gripping a white piece of paper with my name scrawled (潦草地写) across it in black ink. I moved toward the unsmiling woman. “League Aun?” she pointed to the sign and asked in a pronunciation that was new to me. “Yeah, Leigh Ann,” I replied. She nodded and let the sign drop to her side. She looked relieved, and I felt relieved that she suddenly had shown some warmth. She was, after all, the only person in Mexico who knew how to spell my name. “Mi nombre Leigh Ann. Soy de los montañas de Carolina Del Norte.” My name is Leigh Ann. I’m from the mountains of North Carolina. That was the extent of my Spanish. She nodded again. My name was the extent of her English. Then she began to speak Spanish, her words flowing faster than river rapids. I could tell she was trying to give me the information I needed to adjust to life in Guadalajara, but I couldn’t even remember how to say I didn’t understand. The first few days I lived with Señora Montañas, my hostess, it was impossible to communicate even the simplest things. Another American student boarder who had just arrived, Katie, became my translator. When we returned after school, Señora asked about our days. First, she addressed Katie and then me. I simply smiled, but still she asked every day, as if she already knew that soon I would be able to answer. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Every afternoon, an hour before mealtime, Señora invited me to the kitchen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, I sensed a shift — not only in my Spanish, but in my relationship with Señora. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Every afternoon, an hour before mealtime, Senora invited me to the kitchen. She taught me how to make Mexican meals while speaking to me slowly in Spanish. Though I understood little at first, she patiently repeated words and encouraged me to respond. Over time, our conversations grew to fill the kitchen. Then came cheerful songs. She would sing happily, watching my enthusiastic repetition with delight. Her kitchen became my classroom and every meal was a lesson wrapped in kindness. Gradually, I sensed a shift — not only in my Spanish, but in my relationship with Senora. No longer was language a barrier between us; instead, it became the thread that wove our lives together. With each meal we prepared and each song we shared, our bond deepened. I came to see her not merely as a hostess, but as family — a Mexican grandmother whose patience had guided me from silence to belonging. What began as a slightly awkward airport encounter had blossomed into something truly precious. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者Leigh Ann前往墨西哥瓜达拉哈拉交换学习，入住寄宿家庭，与房东Señora Montañas因语言不通难以沟通，在另一位美国学生Katie的帮助下勉强交流，而Señora始终耐心陪伴，最终作者不仅提高了西班牙语水平，还与Señora建立起深厚情感的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Señora邀请作者去厨房的具体举动。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者西班牙语的变化，以及与Señora关系的升温。 2. 续写线索： 厨房相聚——学做美食——语言练习——默契渐生——关系升温——情感升华 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 教做美食：teach me how to make meals/ instruct me in making meals/ show me how to cook ② 重复话语：repeat words/ say sth. again and again/ repeat what sb. said ③ 加深：deepen/strengthen 情绪类 ① 耐心：patiently/with patience/in a patient way ② 喜悦：delight/joy/pleasure ③ 珍贵的：precious/valuable/cherished 【点睛】【高分句型1】Though I understood little at first, she patiently repeated words and encouraged me to respond.
