Off-roading driving adventure on 85,000 acres of hills of sand in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship. When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl!” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in playing tricks on me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The brother-sister relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, who used to be a bit mean to me, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding?” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, delicate. As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in. 36. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph? A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste. B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship. C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew. D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood. 37. What did the author think of Matthew in her childhood? A. He was admiring. B. He was lonely. C. He was easy-going. D. He was annoying. 38. How did the author feel when hearing Matthew’s invitation? A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Honored. D. Hesitant. 39. What was Matthew’s reaction when the author was left out of the family event? A. He tried to find out the real reason. B. He was a little angry but said nothing. C. He understood and accepted the fact. D. He accompanied her to dine elsewhere. 40. What did the author realize about her brother after the accident? A. He was different from her. B. He was not physically strong. C. He also needed protection. D. He depended much on her. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和自己的哥哥Matthew之间感情的变化，从儿时的矛盾到成年后的相互支持和理解。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship.(这让我想起了四个喜欢低音吉他的兄弟，他们从小就住在我们对面。当我还是个小女孩的时候，我常常想知道我和马修是否还会有他们那样的友谊)”可知，作者在本段提到了四个喜欢低音吉他的兄弟是为了表达她童年时对兄弟情谊的渴望。故选B项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol.(从我能走路起，我的哥哥就是我的一切，我的偶像)”可推知，作者仰慕童年的马修。故选A项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university.(得知我想念他后，马修出乎意料地邀请我去大学看望他)”可推知，听到马修的邀请，作者感到很惊讶。故选B项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us.(多年以后，当我被排除在家庭感恩节之外时，他拒绝独自参加。相反，我们吃了晚餐——只有我们两个人)”可知，当作者被排除在家庭活动之外时，马修陪她去别的地方吃饭。故选D项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in.(当我们重新站起来的时候，我意识到是时候让我来保护他了。我们共同的纽带变得更加深厚。我看着我的哥哥，我们都笑了。没有他，我的生活会有难以想象的不同。轮到我保护他了。谢天谢地，我们让对方进来了)”可推知，事故发生后，作者意识到哥哥也需要保护。故选C项。 C As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping（形成刻板印象）their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics. In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices. While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender. Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it— they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.” Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance. 41. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless? A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand. C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition. 42. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study? A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey. C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test. 43. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects? A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task. C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind. 44. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product. C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women. 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Benefits of Gendered Products in Marketing B. The Role of Gender in Human-Technology Connection C. How Stereotypes of Gender Limit Technological Development D. The Role of Anthropomorphism in Shaping Consumer Behavior 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. D 44. B 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了科技产品去性别化的趋势。研究表明，性别化虽能增强用户粘性，但也可能强化刻板印象。由于人们习惯给物品赋予性别，去性别化很难实现。不过，通过赋予产品打破传统的性别角色，反而可能成为改变刻板印象的契机。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People are stereotyping their gendered objects in very traditional ways.(人们总是以非常传统的方式对具有性别特征的物品进行刻板印象式的定义)”以及“Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this.( 完全去除性别因素似乎是一种解决这一问题的简单方法。)”可知，人们对带有性别特征的物品有传统的刻板印象，而去除性别特征是解决这一问题的方法。因此，目的是为了减少刻板印象。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.”(在她的研究中，Martin让参与者对一款名为“Miuu”的数字语音助手和自动驾驶汽车的不同性别版本（男性、女性和无性别）进行评分，以评估他们对这些设备的依恋程度以及购买它们的兴趣。)”可知，Martin 要求参与者对他们对不同版本产品的依恋程度进行“评分/评价”。这属于问卷调查（Respond to a survey）的范畴。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it— they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”(Martin的研究还发现，创造一个无性别特征的物品是困难的。例如，如果一个物品的名字旨在听起来没有性别之分，比如“Miuu”，参与者还是会为其赋予性别——他们会认为Miuu是“他”或者“她”。)”可知，即使产品的名字（如 Miuu）听起来是中性的，参与者“would still assign a gender to it”（仍然会给它分配一个性别）。这说明在人们的潜意识里，很难将物品完全视为无性别的，性别观念根深蒂固。故选D。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化)“provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.( 然而，Martin看到了一丝希望：她认为拟人化“为改变刻板印象提供了一个机会”。当女性被置于像经营公司这样的领导职位时，这会减少对女性的负面刻板印象。同样，拟人化的产品也可以被创造出来，承担与刻板印象不符的角色——比如一个男性机器人来协助护理工作，或者一个女性机器人来帮忙进行计算等等。)”可知，第一句提到“Martin sees a silver lining”（一线希望），接着阐述了拟人化可以提供改变刻板印象的机会，并举例说明打破传统性别角色的产品（如男性护理机器人）可以起到积极作用。这是在讲“给产品赋予性别”带来的积极一面。由此可知，最后一段主要讲的是为产品设定性别属性的好处。故选B。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先提出了“去性别化”的趋势，接着通过研究指出 “性别化”能增加用户的依恋感，然后讨论了“去性别化”的困难，最后提出了“性别化”在改变刻板印象方面的潜力。整篇文章都在围绕“性别”在人类与科技产品关系中扮演的角色展开。由此可知，这篇文章的最佳标题是“性别在人与科技联系中的作用”。故选B。 D Kids and teens are often dismissive of praise from their parents. I am sure that parents out there can relate to this, as we all have been told at one time or another by one or several of our kids, “Stop it, Mom.” or even, “You’re just saying that because you are my parents, and you have to say that.” I can assure you, though, that they are listening. They will probably not thank you for this praise until they are in their twenties, but don’t let that stop you from praising them during their childhood and teen years. Just be careful how you praise them. A little praise may go a long way-especially if it is the right kind of praise. It appears that the way to go is to praise their efforts according to a study by Brummelman of Utrecht University in the Netherlands and his colleagues. These researchers concluded that kids should be praised primarily for their efforts, rather than for their personal characteristics, because if they are praised for their efforts, then a poor performance is more likely to be seen as a glitch (小故障), rather than a valid reflection of who they are as individuals. Let’s think about this together. If you are a teenager or a child of any age and are constantly told how brilliant you are, then when you do poorly on a test or a few tests, you may feel like you have suddenly lost your status as brilliant and may now feel ashamed that you are merely average or even dumb. If you are a girl who is constantly being told how beautiful you are, then on a day when you don’t look or feel so good, you may decide that you are unattractive. This is the problem that develops when we are praising our kids for global personality characteristics that they can’t always live up to. 46. The intended readers of this passage are _____. A. doctors B. parents C. teachers D. children 47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. All children should be praised. B. There’s no need to praise kids and teens. C. Praise should be beyond children’s expectations. D. Teens often pay no attention to their parents’ praise. 48. Which of the following is the right kind of praise according to the text? A. You are a great artist. B. You are very intelligent. C. You have a special gift for music. D. Your painting has indeed improved due to your efforts. 49. The underlined word “dumb” in the last paragraph can be replaced by A. stupid B. unique C. curious D. honest 50. What’s the text mainly about? A. The reasons for praising kids and teens. B. The right ways to praise kids and teens. C. The benefits of praising kids and teens. D. The importance of praising kids and teens. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. D 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，该研究通过分析孩子们对赞美的不同反应，提出应该主要根据孩子的努力来赞美他们，而不是根据他们的个人特点。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要讨论的是父母如何正确地赞美孩子，包括孩子对赞美的反应，如何根据孩子的努力来赞美他们，而不是根据他们的个人特点，以及赞美孩子时需要注意的问题。因此，文章的预期读者是父母。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Kids and teens are often dismissive of praise from their parents. I am sure that parents out there can relate to this, as we all have been told at one time or another by one or several of our kids, “Stop it, Mom.” or even, “You’re just saying that because you are my parents, and you have to say that.”(孩子和青少年往往对父母的表扬不屑一顾。我相信父母们都能体会到这一点，因为我们都曾被一个或几个孩子告诉过：“别这样，妈妈。甚至，“你们这么说是因为你们是我的父母，你们必须这么说。”)”可知，孩子总是不太在意家长的表扬。故选D。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“These researchers concluded that kids should be praised primarily for their efforts, rather than for their personal characteristics, because if they are praised for their efforts, then a poor performance is more likely to be seen as a glitch (小故障), rather than a valid reflection of who they are as individuals.(这些研究人员得出结论，孩子们应该主要被表扬他们的努力，而不是他们的个人特征，因为如果他们的努力得到表扬，那么糟糕的表现更有可能被视为一个小故障，而不是对他们作为个人的有效反映。)”可知，研究人员认为表扬孩子应该表扬孩子的努力。选项D“Your painting has indeed improved due to your efforts.(由于你的努力，你的画确实有了进步。)”符合研究人员的表扬要求。故选D。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文的“you are merely average(自己只是普通)”以及划线单词前的“even”可判断，你只是一般人，甚至是愚蠢。选项A“stupid (愚蠢的)”；选项B“unique (独特的)”；选项C“curious (好奇的)”；选项D“honest (诚实的)”。故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Just be careful how you praise them. A little praise may go a long way-especially if it is the right kind of praise.(只是要注意你赞美他们的方式。一点表扬可能会有很长的路要走——尤其是如果是正确的表扬。)”、第二段“It appears that the way to go is to praise their efforts according to a study by Brummelman of Utrecht University in the Netherlands and his colleagues.(根据荷兰乌得勒支大学的Brummelman和他的同事的一项研究，似乎要走的路是赞扬他们的努力。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论的是如何正确地赞美孩子和青少年，即正确的赞美方式。文章首先提到孩子们经常对父母的赞美不屑一顾，但父母应该继续赞美他们，只是要注意赞美的方式。接着，文章通过一项研究指出，应该主要根据孩子的努力来赞美他们，而不是根据他们的个人特点。因此，文章主要讨论的是如何正确地赞美孩子和青少年。故选B。 IV．阅读表达（10分） 阅读回答问题 When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China. Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute began in primary school when his elder brother joined the Chinese orchestra in middle school to learn to play the musical instrument. He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning. As he got older, Toh went to Singapore for further study. According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited. In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began. After getting his bachelor’s degree, Toh started to teach the Chinese bamboo flute in Malaysia and Singapore. His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies. Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments. Communication and innovation promoted the development of diverse art culture and enriched the cultural layers of art. In recent years, Toh would return to Malaysia during holidays to promote the art of the Chinese bamboo flute. Having been in China for more than a decade, Toh’s love for the country has long been rooted in his heart, and he is looking forward to the prosperity and development of cultural industries in China. 51.

During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia.(Toh原本计划毕业后回到马来西亚，但毕业时广西艺术学院向他提供了一份工作。在中国生活期间，他还加入演出团队，前往越南、菲律宾、柬埔寨等国家进行表演。)”可知，Toh毕业后在广西艺术学院工作，还加入了演出团队。 【55题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你怎么看待Toh？请给出你的理由。（不超过20词）答案不唯一，合理即可。文章讲述了Toh克服本土资源限制赴华逐梦、深耕专业并主动推广竹笛艺术、促进多元文化融合，因此可以说他是一个勇敢执着、热爱艺术且致力于文化传播与交流的人。 V．选择合适的短语，并用正确的形式填空（每个短语最多只能使用一次，有2个多余选项）（20分） 选择合适的短语，并用正确的形式填空（每个短语最多只能使用一次，有2个多余选项） as if give a hand even if figure out argue with come about in particular be aware of in panic come up with go off around the corner 56.

B “Are you okay?” My brother Matthew asked from the driver’s seat as we hung upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. Off-roading driving adventure on 85,000 acres of hills of sand in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship. When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl!” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in playing tricks on me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The brother-sister relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, who used to be a bit mean to me, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding?” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, delicate. As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in. 36. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph? A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste. B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship. C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew. D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood. 37. What did the author think of Matthew in her childhood? A. He was admiring. B. He was lonely. C. He was easy-going. D. He was annoying. 38. How did the author feel when hearing Matthew’s invitation? A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Honored. D. Hesitant. 39. What was Matthew’s reaction when the author was left out of the family event? A. He tried to find out the real reason. B. He was a little angry but said nothing. C. He understood and accepted the fact. D. He accompanied her to dine elsewhere. 40. What did the author realize about her brother after the accident? A. He was different from her. B. He was not physically strong. C. He also needed protection. D. He depended much on her. C As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping（形成刻板印象）their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics. In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices. While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender. Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it— they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.” Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance. 41.

The Role of Gender in Human-Technology Connection C. How Stereotypes of Gender Limit Technological Development D. The Role of Anthropomorphism in Shaping Consumer Behavior D Kids and teens are often dismissive of praise from their parents. I am sure that parents out there can relate to this, as we all have been told at one time or another by one or several of our kids, “Stop it, Mom.” or even, “You’re just saying that because you are my parents, and you have to say that.” I can assure you, though, that they are listening. They will probably not thank you for this praise until they are in their twenties, but don’t let that stop you from praising them during their childhood and teen years. Just be careful how you praise them. A little praise may go a long way-especially if it is the right kind of praise. It appears that the way to go is to praise their efforts according to a study by Brummelman of Utrecht University in the Netherlands and his colleagues. These researchers concluded that kids should be praised primarily for their efforts, rather than for their personal characteristics, because if they are praised for their efforts, then a poor performance is more likely to be seen as a glitch (小故障), rather than a valid reflection of who they are as individuals. Let’s think about this together. If you are a teenager or a child of any age and are constantly told how brilliant you are, then when you do poorly on a test or a few tests, you may feel like you have suddenly lost your status as brilliant and may now feel ashamed that you are merely average or even dumb. If you are a girl who is constantly being told how beautiful you are, then on a day when you don’t look or feel so good, you may decide that you are unattractive. This is the problem that develops when we are praising our kids for global personality characteristics that they can’t always live up to. 46. The intended readers of this passage are _____.

The right ways to praise kids and teens. C. The benefits of praising kids and teens. D. The importance of praising kids and teens. IV．阅读表达（10分） 阅读回答问题 When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China. Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute began in primary school when his elder brother joined the Chinese orchestra in middle school to learn to play the musical instrument. He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning. As he got older, Toh went to Singapore for further study. According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited. In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began. After getting his bachelor’s degree, Toh started to teach the Chinese bamboo flute in Malaysia and Singapore. His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies. Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments. Communication and innovation promoted the development of diverse art culture and enriched the cultural layers of art. In recent years, Toh would return to Malaysia during holidays to promote the art of the Chinese bamboo flute. Having been in China for more than a decade, Toh’s love for the country has long been rooted in his heart, and he is looking forward to the prosperity and development of cultural industries in China. 51.
