When the bus picked us up from the school gate at 6 in the morning, it was raining heavily, which wasn’t great. However, it hadn’t rained in the forest. That was important because we needed dry places for our first survival activity: building shelters. There were three leaders, each responsible for 10 students. After we were divided into three groups, we started collecting broken tree branches and leaves to build our shelters. Then we ate a light breakfast we had prepared at home. After breakfast, we learned how to build a fire safely. For lunch, we had hot dogs and potatoes cooked over the fire. After lunch, we put out the fire and got ready to look for food in the forest. Our leaders showed us which foods were safe. We returned late in the afternoon. Each group made their own campfire and learned to cook soup for supper over the fire with the things we had collected. It was delicious. We all enjoyed the trip. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）We’re excited you are considering an undergraduate degree at our university.

After waiting for half a month, I received a letter from my school, St-luc, and began learning French in a welcome class, which is a class for new immigrants. Even though French was rather hard for me to speak and to understand, I began my secondary five studies the next year. The first few days were terrible, especially the first class of the first day. Although I had been in St- Luc for one year, I still didn’t know much about the school. The first problem that I had was finding my classroom. Luckily, I met a girl who was in my French class and my chemistry class. After the bell rang, the teacher, Mme. Zarif, began her class. First, she introduced herself to everyone and then gave us the course outline for the first year. During her class, everyone laughed many times. Although I could only understand a little bit, I could tell that she was very funny. At the end of her speech, to make sure that we did not forget what we had learned in secondary four, Mme. Zarif gave us a paper with many symbols of elements on it and asked us to write their names in French. I was shocked when I received the paper. Honestly, the only symbol I knew was O. After having stared at the paper for a few minutes, I gave up and raised my hand. The teacher came, and I told her that I didn’t know anything. “You have forgotten everything already?” she said in an astonished tone. “No,” I answered, “I have never learned them in French before. I am from the welcome class,” “Oh,” the teacher said with a look of understanding. “Come here after school. I will teach them to you.” I agreed. Finally, I handed in the paper with only one answer on it. On the whole, my first day of secondary five was a little embarrassing but, at the same time, interesting. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author have to learn French in Quebec? A．She was interested in French culture. B．It was required for her secondary studies. C．Her school only offered French courses. D．She was an immigrant and needed to learn French. 25．(2.5分)How did the students feel about Mme. Zarif’s class? A．Funny B．Confusing C．Indifferent D．Boring 26．(2.5分)Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．The author’s French level improved greatly after the first day. B．Mme. Zarif was patient with international students. C．The welcome class failed to teach basic French knowledge. D．The author found secondary five studies extremely easy. 27．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the passage? A．The challenges of learning French as an immigrant B．The author’s experience in a welcome class for immigrants C．The author’s first day of secondary five studies in Quebec D．The help from Mme. Zarif in learning French 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者是中国移民，在魁北克学习法语。她高中五年级第一天上课很窘迫，法语不好不会写化学元素名，但老师很友善，愿意课后帮助她。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I’m an immigrant from China, and I found that in Quebec I had to learn French, which was a totally strange language to me.( 我是来自中国的移民，在魁北克我不得不学习法语，这对我来说是一种完全陌生的语言。)”可知，作者要在魁北克学习法语是因为她是中国移民，需要学习法语。故选D项。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“During her class, everyone laughed many times. Although I could only understand a little bit, I could tell that she was very funny.( 在她的课上，大家笑了很多次。尽管我只能理解一点点，但我能感觉到她非常有趣。)”可推知，学生们认为扎里夫老师的课很有趣。故选A项。 26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““You have forgotten everything already?” she said in an astonished tone. “No,” I answered, “I have never learned them in French before. I am from the welcome class,” “Oh,” the teacher said with a look of understanding. “Come here after school. I will teach them to you.”(“你已经把所有内容都忘光了吗？”她惊讶地问道。“没有，”我回答道，“我之前从未学过这些内容。我是来自‘欢迎班’的。”“哦，”老师带着理解的神情说道，“放学后过来吧。我会教你这些的。”)”可推知，扎里夫老师对国际学生非常耐心。故选B项。 27．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“I agreed. Finally, I handed in the paper with only one answer on it. On the whole, my first day of secondary five was a little embarrassing but, at the same time, interesting.( 我同意了。最终，我交上来的试卷上只有一个答案。总的来说，我上五年级的第一天有点尴尬，但同时也很有趣。)”可知，文章主要讲的是作者是中国移民，在魁北克学习法语。她高中五年级第一天上课很窘迫，法语不好不会写化学元素名，但老师很友善，愿意课后帮助她。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是作者在魁北克开始五年级学业的第一天。故选C项。 （本题10分）It’s a rainy Tuesday morning in a primary school in Manchester, UK. Year 5 students aren’t sitting quietly at their desks — instead, they’re standing in a circle, voices rising as they role-play a scene from Hamlet. Their classmates lean forward, completely absorbed in the scene. This is the core of immersive (沉浸式的) drama-based learning. A 2025 study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology explores how this approach transforms students’ academic and emotional development. Conducted by researchers at University College London (UCL), the six-month experiment tracked 500 Year 5 students across 45 UK primary schools. Participants were divided into two groups: both groups analyzed an excerpt from Hamlet and completed a writing task from Hamlet’s perspective after leaving his country. However, the target group engaged in 30-minute drama workshops — including role-play, emotional mirroring, and line delivery exercises — before writing, while the control group directly worked on the assignment. The findings revealed striking gaps between the two groups: the target group produced writing samples with 37% richer vocabulary, including subtle terms such as “anguish” and “desolation” instead of phrases like “I’m sad.” The findings further highlighted their superior (出众的) emotional depth, while control group students primarily drew on personal experiences of separation, the drama-integrated students demonstrated remarkable empathy, expressing Hamlet’s internal conflict with profound understanding. The lead researcher Dr. Becky Francis said she had been impressed most by the emotional understanding in the children’s writing. “When students physically immerse themselves into a character’s emotions, they develop both linguistic precision and emotional literacy. Shakespeare’s works, with their vocabulary bank of over 20,000 words, provide the perfect linguistic playground — but it’s the active, dramatic engagement that turns passive reading into transformative learning,” she added. Critics note challenges in resource-limited settings, but Francis emphasizes the model’s adaptability. Even simple role-play exercises can yield significant benefits when carried out consistently. This research provides evidence that creative teaching shouldn’t be excluded as “extra-curricular” — they’re fundamental to overall student development. 28．(2.5分)What was the decisive factor in the experiment? A．Student age. B．Writing task. C．Literary text. D．Pre-writing activity. 29．(2.5分)Why does the author mention anguish and desolation? A．To create dramatic conflicts. B．To illustrate vocabulary richness. C．To reflect students’ true feelings. D．To analyze complex emotional states. 30．(2.5分)What amazed Francis most about the target group’s writing? A．Scene setting. B．Plot design. C．Emotional insight. D．Word precision. 31．(2.5分)What can be learned from the text? A．Reading enriches life. B．Literature builds emotion. C．Words mirror one’s mind. D．Learning by doing works best. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．C 31．D 【导语】文章介绍了一项实验证明，在写作前进行戏剧角色扮演等主动活动，能显著提升学生的词汇丰富度和情感理解力，说明在实践中学习对学生的全面发展至关重要。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the target group engaged in 30-minute drama workshops — including role-play, emotional mirroring, and line delivery exercises — before writing, while the control group directly worked on the assignment. (然而，目标组在写作前参加了30分钟的戏剧工作坊——包括角色扮演、情感镜像和台词练习——而对照组则直接完成作业。)”可知，实验中的决定性因素是写作前的活动。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段中“the target group produced writing samples with 37% richer vocabulary, including subtle terms such as “anguish” and “desolation” instead of phrases like “I’m sad.” (目标组写出的样本词汇丰富度高出37%，包括诸如“痛苦”和“荒凉”等细腻词汇，而非“我很难过”这样的短语)”可知，这两个词是细腻的，作者提到它们是为了说明词汇的丰富性。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段中“The lead researcher Dr. Becky Francis said she had been impressed most by the emotional understanding in the children’s writing. (首席研究员Becky Francis博士表示，孩子们写作中展现的情感理解力给她留下了最深刻的印象。)”可知，Francis对目标组写作最惊讶的是他们的情感洞察力。 31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第五段中“but it’s the active, dramatic engagement that turns passive reading into transformative learning (但正是积极而富有戏剧性的参与，将被动阅读转化为具有变革性的学习)”和最后一段中“This research provides evidence that creative teaching shouldn’t be excluded as “extra-curricular” — they’re fundamental to overall student development. (这项研究提供了证据，证明创造性教学不应被视为“课外活动”——它们对学生全面发展至关重要。)”可知，文章主要围绕一项实验展开，该实验证明在写作前进行戏剧角色扮演等主动活动，能显著提升学生的词汇丰富度和情感理解力，说明在实践中学习，即通过戏剧表演主动参与，效果最好。 （本题10分）During World War II, people on some Pacific islands saw Allied airplanes land carrying food and tools called “cargo”. After the war ended and the planes stopped coming, some islanders created practices to try to bring them back. They built fake runways out of dirt, made wooden control towers, and wore coconut headphones, copying what soldiers did. They believed that if they copied these actions, the cargo planes would return. But the planes never came. In 1974, physicist Richard Feynman used this story to describe a problem in science, calling it “cargo cult science”. According to Feynman, cargo cult science refers to practices that follow all the outward appearances and rigorous forms of scientific investigation — such as using precise statistics, writing formatted papers, and conducting experiments — but lack the essential core of scientific integrity. This missing core is a specific type of absolute honesty: a willingness to actively prove oneself wrong, publish failed results, and expose every potential flaw in one’s own theory. Without this deep intellectual honesty, all the complex technical machinery of research is just a meaningless performance, unable to produce true discovery. Today, education experts say many students show a similar pattern, called “cargo cult learning”. Students may spend long hours highlighting books, working in stylish coffee shops, and using apps to track study time. They copy the visible habits of good students, creating the feeling of hard work. But these surface actions often hide weak real thinking. Simply making neat notes or doing many practice problems without deep thinking or learning from mistakes leads to little progress. They often feel productive, but the learning is shallow and quickly forgotten over time. The main lesson is that success does not come from copying the outside forms of work True learning needs real understanding, which includes facing confusion, questioning ideas, and seeking clear understanding instead of only appearance. Real growth requires embracing difficulty, learning from errors, and focusing on understanding rather than performance or appearance itself fully. 32．(2.5分)Why did the islanders imitate what Allied soldiers had done? A．They attempted to attract more tourists. B．They wanted to resolve a scientific problem. C．They tried to drive away foreign Allied soldiers. D．They expected cargo planes to return with supplies. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “rigorous” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Strict. B．Casual. C．Simple. D．Flexible 34．(2.5分)Which of the following shows “cargo cult learning”? A．Digesting knowledge after practice. B．Spending much time on fancy notes. C．Thinking deeply while doing exercises. D．Learning lessons from previous mistakes. 35．(2.5分)What might be the best title of the text? A．Growth and True Learning B．Cargo Cult Science and Fake Effort C．The Great Physicist Feynman’s Theory D．The Follow-up Effect of World War II 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．B 【导语】文章由太平洋岛民模仿军队盼物资的故事引出“货物崇拜科学”，延伸到学生只做表面功夫的虚假学习，指出真正学习重在深度理解而非形式。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“They believed that if they copied these actions, the cargo planes would return. But the planes never came.(他们相信，如果复制这些行动，货机就会返回。但飞机却从未归来。)”可知，岛民模仿士兵是希望货运飞机带回物资。 33．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“forms of scientific investigation — such as using precise statistics, writing formatted papers, and conducting experiments — but lack the essential core of scientific integrity(科学探究的形式——例如使用精确的统计数据、撰写格式化的论文、进行实验——但却缺乏科学诚信这一核心要素。)”可知，rigorous修饰科学研究流程，搭配严谨的统计、规范论文，词义为严格的。故划线词意思是“严格的”。 34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Simply making neat notes or doing many practice problems without deep thinking or learning from mistakes leads to little progress. They often feel productive, but the learning is shallow and quickly forgotten over time.(仅仅做整洁的笔记或大量练习题，却缺乏深入思考和从错误中学习的能力，导致进步甚微。他们常常觉得自己很高效，但学习效果浅薄，随着时间推移很快就会被遗忘。)”可知，长时间专注于华丽的笔记体现了“货物崇拜式学习”。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In 1974, physicist Richard Feynman used this story to describe a problem in science, calling it “cargo cult science”.(1974年，物理学家理查德·费曼用这个故事来描述科学领域存在的一个问题，称之为“货物崇拜科学”。)”结合文章由太平洋岛民模仿军队盼物资的故事引出“货物崇拜科学”，延伸到学生只做表面功夫的虚假学习，指出真正学习重在深度理解而非形式。可知，B选项“货物崇拜科学与虚假努力”最符合文章标题。 （本题12.5分）In my latest book, The Success Factor, I outline the four mindsets found in extreme high achievers. Many people wonder what sets top performers apart from ordinary ones. 36(2.5分) Stay driven from inside I have found that scientists are not driven by such motivators: promotions, diplomas or awards. If they were, those I interviewed would have quit doing science after winning a Nobel Prize. Instead, many leading scientists are still doing research long after they qualify for retirement. 37(2.5分) They simply love the process of discovery itself. 38(2.5分) There are always challenges on the way to success. Most people easily give up when facing difficulties. However, the high achievers face them bravely and keep moving forward. Eventually, they fear not trying more than they fear failing. They work hard to “control what they can control”, and they don’t think over issues and challenges that are beyond their control. Keep making progress 39(2.5分) What worked for them early on in their careers is what they continue with later. The scientists who have won a Nobel Prize are still designing experiments and writing papers to further their careers. They refuse to stand still even with great honors. They stick to their effective methods and keep moving toward higher goals. Keep learning informally Despite their advanced degrees and praise, the high achievers made a point of continuing their learning by reading books, articles and blogs, watching videos and talking to others. They never think they have learned enough and always stay hungry for new knowledge. 40(2.5分) In this way, they keep their knowledge up-to-date and their creativity fresh. No one aims to be average in life. People want to succeed but often lack the understanding of how to achieve more. So learning from top scientists can guide us in our own life and work. A．Persist and never give up. B．Set up a strong foundation. C．This book provides clear and practical answers. D．High achievers do not rest on their achievements. E．Reading widely is the only way to gain rich knowledge. F．Their inner motivation keeps them devoted to their work. G．They keep updating their knowledge and skills all the time. 【答案】36．C 37．F 38．A 39．D 40．G 【导语】文章主要介绍了顶尖成就者区别于普通人的四种心态：保持内在驱动力、坚持不懈、持续进步、持续非正式学习。 【详解】36．由上文“In my latest book, The Success Factor, I outline the four mindsets found in extreme high achievers. Many people wonder what sets top performers apart from ordinary ones. (在我最新的书《成功因素》中，我概述了极高成就者身上的四种心态。许多人想知道是什么让顶尖表现者区别于普通人。)”可知，本空要说这本书提供了答案，C选项“This book provides clear and practical answers.

Living in Montreal, far away from the ocean, makes it even more a dream land for me. And I 41 to visit the ocean at least once a year and I’ve been doing it for at least twenty 42 . When I was younger, I would 43 shells and rocks and bring them back home and ended up having tons of them on my shelves, floors, desks, etc. But as I 44 the ocean more and more, I started picking up the 45 left by careless people, picking up less and less 46 treasure. I was beginning to question my habits and one day, in California, I just had this idea. I realised that a stone you find in the ocean has a(n) 47 colour that makes you pick it up but then, when it 48 , you won’t find it as lovely anymore, so why pick it up in the first place? Anyway, I just realised then that natural things are nice in their natural 49 and that if everybody picked up every shell from the ocean, and 50 the wastes out there, the beach would become something not so nice very 51 . So I decided that day, when I was probably 28 or 29, that I would just “borrow” things from the ocean, and bring them back after a while, since that 52 of shells does so much good for me. I 53 the quantity and keep it to the smallest amount.

Leo, a quiet and thoughtful boy, had a deep passion for robotics. For months, he had secretly been working on a project he called “Project GreenHand” — a small, solar-powered robot designed to help water the plants and check soil wetness in the school’s community garden. He believed it could make a real difference. However, there was a problem. His best friend, Sam, was also entering the fair with a flashy drone (无人机) that could take overhead photos. Everyone thought Sam would win easily. When Sam saw Leo’s simple robot, he laughed. “Come on, Leo, that looks like a shoebox with wheels. Build something cooler.” Leo felt his face burn with embarrassment. He looked down at his creation — it wasn’t beautiful, but every wire and sensor was placed with care. He remembered the hours spent studying solar energy and coding. However, comparing his plain robot to Sam’s high-tech drone, Leo realized a cruel truth: in a contest of “coolness”, practical use might not matter. If the judges found it boring, all his efforts would be a joke. Leo’s heart sank. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe his project was too simple to win. The next day, Leo decided to give up. He put “Project GreenHand” in a box and pushed it to the back of his closet (壁橱). When the day of the fair arrived, Leo walked through the gym, feeling empty. He saw Sam’s drone flying high, attracting a crowd of cheering students. Just then, he noticed Mr. Green, a school gardener sitting alone on a bench near the garden, looking tired. Leo walked over. “Mr. Green, are you okay?” he asked. The old man sighed. “It’s just so much work, Leo. My back is hurting, and the garden is so big. I wish I had a helper.” A sudden thought struck Leo. He didn’t need a big fair to prove his idea was good. He needed to show it could help. 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。 Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】(one possible version) Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. He quickly switched on the robot, whose solar panels caught the sunlight and started to work steadily. Moving slowly and gently, the robot precisely checked soil wetness and watered the dry plants one by one. Seeing the simple robot do all the dull garden work, Mr. Green’s face broke into a bright smile. He sighed with relief, saying it was exactly the helper he had long wished for. A warm sense of pride filled Leo’s heart, making him realize the true value of his creation. Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. Crowds of students came to watch the practical robot work in the garden, and even Sam was astonished by its great performance. At the Science Fair, Leo didn’t win the first prize, but he won a special Community Impact Award. The headmaster spoke highly of his work, stating that the essence of science is solving real-life problems. Leo finally understood that cool high-tech devices are never superior to creations that bring warmth and convenience to life. 【导语】 本文以人物为线索展开。利奥痴迷机器人，悄悄研制出可为社区花园浇水的太阳能机器人“绿手”。遭好友嘲笑后他一度灰心弃赛，却在科学博览会当天偶遇疲惫的园丁，顿悟实用价值远胜虚名，决心让发明真正帮到人。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写利奥把机器人带到花园并启动，格林先生目睹机器人大幅减轻园艺劳作后的欣慰反应，最后写利奥内心的自豪，体会发明的意义。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写机器人的事迹在校内传开，同学们纷纷前来围观，再介绍科学博览会的结果，利奥虽未拿一等奖却斩获社区影响力特别奖；借校长发言点明科学的核心是解决生活实际问题，结尾升华主旨：能给生活带去温暖便利的发明远比炫酷高科技更珍贵。 2. 续写线索：拿出园艺机器人带到花园 —— 机器人自动浇灌绿植 —— 格林先生十分欣慰，认可这个帮手 —— 利奥心生自豪感 —— 发明项目在校内传开，众人围观赞叹 —— 科技展收获特色奖项，领悟科学真正的价值 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①启动：switch on →turn on/power up ②解决：solve → address/tackle 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished → amazed/shocked ②宽慰：relief → ease/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型1】He quickly switched on the robot, whose solar panels caught the sunlight and started to work steadily.

After waiting for half a month, I received a letter from my school, St-luc, and began learning French in a welcome class, which is a class for new immigrants. Even though French was rather hard for me to speak and to understand, I began my secondary five studies the next year. The first few days were terrible, especially the first class of the first day. Although I had been in St- Luc for one year, I still didn’t know much about the school. The first problem that I had was finding my classroom. Luckily, I met a girl who was in my French class and my chemistry class. After the bell rang, the teacher, Mme. Zarif, began her class. First, she introduced herself to everyone and then gave us the course outline for the first year. During her class, everyone laughed many times. Although I could only understand a little bit, I could tell that she was very funny. At the end of her speech, to make sure that we did not forget what we had learned in secondary four, Mme. Zarif gave us a paper with many symbols of elements on it and asked us to write their names in French. I was shocked when I received the paper. Honestly, the only symbol I knew was O. After having stared at the paper for a few minutes, I gave up and raised my hand. The teacher came, and I told her that I didn’t know anything. “You have forgotten everything already?” she said in an astonished tone. “No,” I answered, “I have never learned them in French before. I am from the welcome class,” “Oh,” the teacher said with a look of understanding. “Come here after school. I will teach them to you.” I agreed. Finally, I handed in the paper with only one answer on it. On the whole, my first day of secondary five was a little embarrassing but, at the same time, interesting. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author have to learn French in Quebec?

Zarif in learning French （本题10分）It’s a rainy Tuesday morning in a primary school in Manchester, UK. Year 5 students aren’t sitting quietly at their desks — instead, they’re standing in a circle, voices rising as they role-play a scene from Hamlet. Their classmates lean forward, completely absorbed in the scene. This is the core of immersive (沉浸式的) drama-based learning. A 2025 study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology explores how this approach transforms students’ academic and emotional development. Conducted by researchers at University College London (UCL), the six-month experiment tracked 500 Year 5 students across 45 UK primary schools. Participants were divided into two groups: both groups analyzed an excerpt from Hamlet and completed a writing task from Hamlet’s perspective after leaving his country. However, the target group engaged in 30-minute drama workshops — including role-play, emotional mirroring, and line delivery exercises — before writing, while the control group directly worked on the assignment. The findings revealed striking gaps between the two groups: the target group produced writing samples with 37% richer vocabulary, including subtle terms such as “anguish” and “desolation” instead of phrases like “I’m sad.” The findings further highlighted their superior (出众的) emotional depth, while control group students primarily drew on personal experiences of separation, the drama-integrated students demonstrated remarkable empathy, expressing Hamlet’s internal conflict with profound understanding. The lead researcher Dr. Becky Francis said she had been impressed most by the emotional understanding in the children’s writing. “When students physically immerse themselves into a character’s emotions, they develop both linguistic precision and emotional literacy. Shakespeare’s works, with their vocabulary bank of over 20,000 words, provide the perfect linguistic playground — but it’s the active, dramatic engagement that turns passive reading into transformative learning,” she added. Critics note challenges in resource-limited settings, but Francis emphasizes the model’s adaptability. Even simple role-play exercises can yield significant benefits when carried out consistently. This research provides evidence that creative teaching shouldn’t be excluded as “extra-curricular” — they’re fundamental to overall student development. 28．(2.5分)What was the decisive factor in the experiment? A．Student age. B．Writing task. C．Literary text. D．Pre-writing activity. 29．(2.5分)Why does the author mention anguish and desolation? A．To create dramatic conflicts. B．To illustrate vocabulary richness. C．To reflect students’ true feelings. D．To analyze complex emotional states. 30．(2.5分)What amazed Francis most about the target group’s writing? A．Scene setting. B．Plot design. C．Emotional insight. D．Word precision. 31．(2.5分)What can be learned from the text? A．Reading enriches life. B．Literature builds emotion. C．Words mirror one’s mind. D．Learning by doing works best. （本题10分）During World War II, people on some Pacific islands saw Allied airplanes land carrying food and tools called “cargo”. After the war ended and the planes stopped coming, some islanders created practices to try to bring them back. They built fake runways out of dirt, made wooden control towers, and wore coconut headphones, copying what soldiers did. They believed that if they copied these actions, the cargo planes would return. But the planes never came. In 1974, physicist Richard Feynman used this story to describe a problem in science, calling it “cargo cult science”. According to Feynman, cargo cult science refers to practices that follow all the outward appearances and rigorous forms of scientific investigation — such as using precise statistics, writing formatted papers, and conducting experiments — but lack the essential core of scientific integrity. This missing core is a specific type of absolute honesty: a willingness to actively prove oneself wrong, publish failed results, and expose every potential flaw in one’s own theory. Without this deep intellectual honesty, all the complex technical machinery of research is just a meaningless performance, unable to produce true discovery. Today, education experts say many students show a similar pattern, called “cargo cult learning”. Students may spend long hours highlighting books, working in stylish coffee shops, and using apps to track study time. They copy the visible habits of good students, creating the feeling of hard work. But these surface actions often hide weak real thinking. Simply making neat notes or doing many practice problems without deep thinking or learning from mistakes leads to little progress. They often feel productive, but the learning is shallow and quickly forgotten over time. The main lesson is that success does not come from copying the outside forms of work True learning needs real understanding, which includes facing confusion, questioning ideas, and seeking clear understanding instead of only appearance. Real growth requires embracing difficulty, learning from errors, and focusing on understanding rather than performance or appearance itself fully. 32．(2.5分)Why did the islanders imitate what Allied soldiers had done? A．They attempted to attract more tourists. B．They wanted to resolve a scientific problem. C．They tried to drive away foreign Allied soldiers. D．They expected cargo planes to return with supplies. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “rigorous” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Strict. B．Casual. C．Simple. D．Flexible 34．(2.5分)Which of the following shows “cargo cult learning”? A．Digesting knowledge after practice. B．Spending much time on fancy notes. C．Thinking deeply while doing exercises. D．Learning lessons from previous mistakes. 35．(2.5分)What might be the best title of the text? A．Growth and True Learning B．Cargo Cult Science and Fake Effort C．The Great Physicist Feynman’s Theory D．The Follow-up Effect of World War II （本题12.5分）In my latest book, The Success Factor, I outline the four mindsets found in extreme high achievers. Many people wonder what sets top performers apart from ordinary ones. 36(2.5分) Stay driven from inside I have found that scientists are not driven by such motivators: promotions, diplomas or awards. If they were, those I interviewed would have quit doing science after winning a Nobel Prize. Instead, many leading scientists are still doing research long after they qualify for retirement. 37(2.5分) They simply love the process of discovery itself. 38(2.5分) There are always challenges on the way to success. Most people easily give up when facing difficulties. However, the high achievers face them bravely and keep moving forward. Eventually, they fear not trying more than they fear failing. They work hard to “control what they can control”, and they don’t think over issues and challenges that are beyond their control. Keep making progress 39(2.5分) What worked for them early on in their careers is what they continue with later. The scientists who have won a Nobel Prize are still designing experiments and writing papers to further their careers. They refuse to stand still even with great honors. They stick to their effective methods and keep moving toward higher goals. Keep learning informally Despite their advanced degrees and praise, the high achievers made a point of continuing their learning by reading books, articles and blogs, watching videos and talking to others. They never think they have learned enough and always stay hungry for new knowledge. 40(2.5分) In this way, they keep their knowledge up-to-date and their creativity fresh. No one aims to be average in life. People want to succeed but often lack the understanding of how to achieve more. So learning from top scientists can guide us in our own life and work. A．Persist and never give up. B．Set up a strong foundation. C．This book provides clear and practical answers. D．High achievers do not rest on their achievements. E．Reading widely is the only way to gain rich knowledge. F．Their inner motivation keeps them devoted to their work. G．They keep updating their knowledge and skills all the time. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I’m an ocean lover. Living in Montreal, far away from the ocean, makes it even more a dream land for me.

I was beginning to question my habits and one day, in California, I just had this idea. I realised that a stone you find in the ocean has a(n) 47 colour that makes you pick it up but then, when it 48 , you won’t find it as lovely anymore, so why pick it up in the first place? Anyway, I just realised then that natural things are nice in their natural 49 and that if everybody picked up every shell from the ocean, and 50 the wastes out there, the beach would become something not so nice very 51 . So I decided that day, when I was probably 28 or 29, that I would just “borrow” things from the ocean, and bring them back after a while, since that 52 of shells does so much good for me.

Leo, a quiet and thoughtful boy, had a deep passion for robotics. For months, he had secretly been working on a project he called “Project GreenHand” — a small, solar-powered robot designed to help water the plants and check soil wetness in the school’s community garden. He believed it could make a real difference. However, there was a problem. His best friend, Sam, was also entering the fair with a flashy drone (无人机) that could take overhead photos. Everyone thought Sam would win easily. When Sam saw Leo’s simple robot, he laughed. “Come on, Leo, that looks like a shoebox with wheels. Build something cooler.” Leo felt his face burn with embarrassment. He looked down at his creation — it wasn’t beautiful, but every wire and sensor was placed with care. He remembered the hours spent studying solar energy and coding. However, comparing his plain robot to Sam’s high-tech drone, Leo realized a cruel truth: in a contest of “coolness”, practical use might not matter. If the judges found it boring, all his efforts would be a joke. Leo’s heart sank. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe his project was too simple to win. The next day, Leo decided to give up. He put “Project GreenHand” in a box and pushed it to the back of his closet (壁橱). When the day of the fair arrived, Leo walked through the gym, feeling empty. He saw Sam’s drone flying high, attracting a crowd of cheering students. Just then, he noticed Mr. Green, a school gardener sitting alone on a bench near the garden, looking tired. Leo walked over. “Mr. Green, are you okay?” he asked. The old man sighed. “It’s just so much work, Leo. My back is hurting, and the garden is so big. I wish I had a helper.” A sudden thought struck Leo. He didn’t need a big fair to prove his idea was good. He needed to show it could help. 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。 Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $
