Afghanistan has its own version of the famous British comedy actor Charlie Chaplin.
His name is Karim Asir. He wears make- up and clothes to look like Charlie Chaplin in his movies. Asir also uses similar physical movements. He performs on the streets and at events in the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul.
Afghanistan has dealt with many years of war and widespread destruction brought by attacks. The 25- year- old actor says his goal is to use humour to help take people’s minds off the difficulties they face every day. “It is very simple. I want to give Afghans a reason to smile,” he said.
Charlie Chaplin rose to fame during the silent film age of the 1920s. His movies became popular around the world. When young Asir and his family escaped to Iran in 1996, he watched Chaplin’s movies on television and became fond of the actor and the characters he played. One of the characters impressed Asir most was a funny- looking man known as the Little Tramp. This character had no money and was always getting into trouble. The creative method he used to get out of trouble was always being humorous.
After returning to Afghanistan, Asir started wearing make- up and recreating Chaplin’s characters. He performs in public parks, homes for needy youth, as well as private parties and international aid agency events.
“I want to give my people a chance to forget their problems such as war, conflicts, and insecurity,” he said.
To do this, he keeps smiling while performing around the city and meeting with fans, but Asir says that inside, he cannot help but feel fearful about possible attacks.
“I am afraid of getting attacked, but these issues cannot stop me from being Charlie Chaplin,” he said.
24. What does Asir want to do by using humour?
A. To make himself look like Chaplin.
B. To make people laugh and be happy.
C. To earn money and support his family.
D. To encourage people to face their difficulties.
25. Which of the following is true about Asir?
A. Asir got to know Chaplin at the age of 25.
B. Asir wanted to be an act or when he was a child.
C. Asir began to perform after returning from Iran.
D. Asir played the Little Tramp and became popular.
26. What did Asir concern about while performing?
A. People may not like his performance.
B. He may encounter with dangerous attacks.
C. He might make mistakes in his performance.
D. People might feel afraid of being out in public.
27. What is the best title of this article?
A. Afghanistan: War and Peace
B. The Challenges of Being an Actor
C. The Story of the Afghan Charlie Chaplin
D. Charlie Chaplin: The World’s Greatest Comedian
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. C

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The 25- year- old actor says his goal is to use humour to help take people’s minds off the difficulties they face every day.( 他的目标是用幽默来帮助人们忘记他们每天面临的困难。“这很简单。”)”可知,阿西尔想通过幽默来让人们笑,让他们快乐。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据第五段“After returning to Afghanistan, Asir started wearing make- up and recreating Chaplin’s characters. He performs in public parks, homes for needy youth, as well as private parties and international aid agency events.( 回到阿富汗后,阿西尔开始化妆,重新塑造卓别林的角色。他在公园、贫困青年之家、私人派对和国际援助机构的活动中表演。)”可知,阿西尔从伊朗回来后开始表演。故选C项。

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To do this, he keeps smiling while performing around the city and meeting with fans, but Asir says that inside, he cannot help but feel fearful about possible attacks.( 为了做到这一点,他在城市周围表演和与粉丝见面时保持微笑,但阿西尔说,内心深处,他忍不住对可能发生的袭击感到恐惧。)”可知,阿西尔在表演时担心可能会遇到危险的袭击。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Afghanistan has its own version of the famous British comedy actor Charlie Chaplin.( 阿富汗有自己版本的英国著名喜剧演员查理·卓别林。)”和第二段“His name is Karim Asir. He wears make- up and clothes to look like Charlie Chaplin in his movies. Asir also uses similar physical movements. He performs on the streets and at events in the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul.( 他叫卡里姆·阿西尔。他化妆打扮得像电影里的查理·卓别林。阿西尔也使用类似的身体动作。他在阿富汗首都喀布尔的街头和活动中表演。)”可知,文章主要讲的是阿富汗有自己版本的英国著名喜剧演员查理·卓别林,他就是阿富汗的喜剧演员卡里姆·阿西尔,以及他给人们带来快乐的故事。故这篇文章最好的标题是“阿富汗查理·卓别林的故事”。故选C项。

“When you experience a difficult period of time, there’s nothing wrong with crying a little, but you have to soldier on,” according to late billionaire Charlie Munger. “You can cry, all right. But you can’t quit.” Munger said that challenging times are unavoidable in everyone’s life. What matters is how you deal with them and then move on.
On the surface, Munger’s life may have appeared perfect. He was a successful lawyer and investor, extremely wealthy, and he lived a long, seemingly happy life. But his struggles and sadness were intense: a divorce in his 20s, blindness in one eye as a result of failed surgery and the death of his 9-year-old son Teddy, who had leukemia (白血病).
“Your ability to recover from struggles or disappointments, whether in your personal life or career, is essential for your success and happiness in the long run,” experts say. Often, that can mean properly feeling sad or processing your disappointment before moving forward. As Munger noted, crying can be a healthy way of doing that. It literally helps you let go of emotional suffering through the release of endorphins (内啡肽), research shows. In contrast, repressing (压抑) those emotions can make a variety of mental and physical health problems severer.
“The iron rule of life is: Everybody struggles,” Munger said. People who have the strength to carry on are more likely to live happily, sometimes, learning a valuable lesson in the process. “It’s your only option. You can’t bring back the dead. You can’t cure the dying child. You can’t do all kinds of things,” said Munger. “You have to move forward.”
28. What does the underlined phrase “soldier on” probably mean?
A. Keep going. B. Take a break. C. Stay committed. D. Be passionate.
29. What can be learned about Munger according to the text?
A. He lived a life free of sadness and stress.
B. He was always successful and never failed.
C. He experienced significant personal losses.
D. He was a millionaire known for his success.
30. What does the research suggest about the role of crying during tough times?
A. It is a typical sign of weakness. B. It can only be beneficial for a short time.
C. It is a helpful way to process emotional pain. D. It promotes someone’s ability to recover immediately.
31. What’s Munger’s suggestion for dealing with hard times?
A. Focusing on the positive aspects of life.
B. Accepting the challenges and keeping on.
C. Seeking professional help to cope with struggles.
D. Avoiding sadness and focusing on moving forward.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述已故亿万富翁 Charlie Munger生平所经历的苦难以及他给与人们的建议:当你经历一段艰难的时期时,哭一点没什么错,但你必须 继续坚持前进。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由第一段中“When you experience a difficult period of time, there’s nothing wrong with crying a little, but you have to soldier on,(当你经历一段艰难的时期时,哭一点没什么错,但你必须 ,)”以及下文“You can cry, all right. But you can’t quit.(你可以哭,好吧。但你不能放弃)”可知,这里soldier on应表示“坚持”的意思。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“But his struggles and sadness were intense: a divorce in his 20s, blindness in one eye as a result of failed surgery and the death of his 9-year-old son Teddy, who had leukemia (白血病).(但他的挣扎和悲伤是强烈的:20多岁时离婚,手术失败导致一只眼睛失明,9岁的儿子Teddy死于白血病)”可知, Munger 遭受了重大的个人损失。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“As Munger noted, crying can be a healthy way of doing that. It literally helps you let go of emotional suffering through the release of endorphins (内啡肽), research shows. In contrast, repressing (压抑) those emotions can make a variety of mental and physical health problems severer.(正如Munger所指出的那样,哭泣可能是一种健康的方式。研究表明,它通过释放内啡肽来帮助你摆脱情绪痛苦。相比之下,压抑这些情绪会使各种身心健康问题更加严重)”可知,在困难时期哭泣是一种处理情感痛苦的有效方式。故选C项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段“People who have the strength to carry on are more likely to live happily, sometimes, learning a valuable lesson in the process. ‘It’s your only option. You can’t bring back the dead. You can’t cure the dying child. You can’t do all kinds of things,’ said Munger. ‘You have to move forward.’(有力量坚持下去的人更有可能过上幸福的生活,有时会在这个过程中吸取宝贵的教训。‘这是你唯一的选择。你不能让死人复活。你无法治愈这个垂死的孩子。’Munger说,‘你不能做各种各样的事情。你必须继续前进。’)”可知,Munger建议在困难时期应接受挑战并坚持应对。故选B项。
D
Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you’re more free-spirited and artistic? If you’re the former, somebody’s probably told you at some point that you’re a left-brained person, and if you’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction.
Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person?
If there’s no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it? Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that people’s brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are. It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.
When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial. After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical”? The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves.
32. Which is a common belief about people’s individual characteristics?
A. A logical thinker is right-brained.
B. Our right brain and left brain work the same.
C. The right half of the brain is the analytical half.
D. The dominant half of brain determines one’s characteristics.
33. Why does the author mention mathematics in paragraph 2?
A. To show that math is a logical subject.
B. To argue that creativity is irrelevant in analytical thinking.
C. To prove that left-brained people are better at problem-solving.
D. To prove personality and talent differences aren’t due to hemispheric dominance.
34. Why do many people believe in the left-brain/ right-brain theory?
A. This theory is widespread and popular.
B. Scientific studies have confirmed its accuracy.
C. It provides a way for them to sort personalities.
D. Brain imaging technology has shown clear hemispheric differences.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Left-Brained People Are Smarter?
B. The Science of Math: Left or Right Brain?
C. The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance
D. Ways to Develop Both Logical and Creative Thinking
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要驳斥了关于左脑型人和右脑型人这种流行观念,并解释了为什么人们会相信这一观念。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. (右脑是创造半球、左脑是分析半球,且我们的个人性格由占主导地位的半球决定,这一观点在大众心理学中广泛流传。)”可知,关于个人性格的普遍看法是“大脑中占主导地位的半球决定人的性格”。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person? (例如,数学需要逻辑思维,因此通常被认为与左脑有关。但数学除了是逻辑性的,还涉及高度的创造性努力。那么,一个有天赋的数学家是右脑主导还是左脑主导呢?)”可知,作者提及数学是为了举例说明:数学既需左脑关联的逻辑思维,也需右脑关联的创造性,从而证明性格和天赋差异并非由脑半球主导性决定。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics. (这也可能与我们看似无限的“分类欲望”有关——我们希望根据自己(和朋友)的情感和智力特征,将自己归入不同的“类型”。)”可知,人们相信左右脑理论,是因为它为人们提供了一种划分性格类型的方式。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中的“The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction. (右脑是创造半球、左脑是分析半球,且我们的个人性格由占主导地位的半球决定,这一观点在大众心理学中广泛流传。然而,这一观点是虚构的。)”以及下文通过脑成像研究和数学案例,证明该观点无科学依据,并分析人们相信该观点的原因可知,文章围绕“大脑半球主导性决定性格”这一观点展开,先指出其为虚构,再用研究证明无证据支持,最后分析人们相信它的原因,核心是揭示该观点的真相,因此“脑半球主导性背后的真相”最能概括全文,适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。

59. difficulties
60. truly 61. has become
62. awareness
63. on##at 64. using
65. to accept
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了出生时患有罕见遗传病的励志人物Benjamin Lou克服身体缺陷带来的重重困难考入麻省理工学院,毕业后成为计算机科学家,并长期投身无障碍科技研发、积极倡导残疾人权利的励志故事。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Benjamin Lou是一名计算机科学家和倡导者,他出生时患有一种罕见的遗传性疾病,称为脊髓性肌萎缩症(SMA),这种疾病会影响用于移动身体的肌肉。which引导非限制性定语从句,从句中已经有谓语动词affects,空处需要填入非谓语动词;空处作后置定语修饰名词muscles,动词use与muscles之间是被动关系,表示“被用来移动身体的肌肉”,因此用use的过去分词形式used。
【57题详解】
考查代词。句意:一岁时,他从胸部以下完全瘫痪,这使他难以呼吸、进食或在没有帮助的情况下四处移动。此处为固定结构“make it +形容词+for sb. to do sth.”,表示“使得某人做某事……”,其中it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:尽管面临这些挑战,Benjamin还是战胜了困难,进入了麻省理工学院,在那里他获得了计算机科学与人工智能学位。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Massachusetts Institute of Technology,指地点,关系词在从句中作地点状语,因此用关系副词where引导该定语从句。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:Benjamin在学习期间不得不坚持克服无数的困难。根据空前的形容词countless“无数的”可知,countless后接可数名词复数,difficulty是可数名词,因此填其复数形式difficulties。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:他面对各种困难时的毅力真的非常了不起。空处修饰形容词remarkable,需要用true的副词形式truly。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:到目前为止,Benjamin已经成为激励众多残疾人士的人物,他用自己的经历提高了人们对科技无障碍重要性的认识,并提倡相关政策让残疾人更方便使用数字工具。根据句首的时间状语By now“到目前为止”可知,句子要用现在完成时,主语Benjamin是第三人称单数,因此填has become。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。空处作动词raise的宾语,需要用aware的名词形式awareness,awareness是不可数名词,raise awareness of是固定搭配,表示“提高……的意识”。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:他还一直致力于开发辅助技术,比如可供行动不便人士使用的语音控制电脑界面。此处表示“从事于;致力于”,用固定搭配work on 或者work at。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:除了在科技领域的工作之外,Benjamin还是残疾人权利的热情倡导者,利用自己的平台打破刻板印象,增进大众对残疾人生活的理解。句中已有系动词is,空处用非谓语动词,动词use和主语Benjamin之间是主动关系,因此用现在分词using作状语。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过写作和演讲,他希望鼓励其他人接纳自身的差异,努力为所有人创造一个更具包容性的社会。encourage sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,表示“鼓励某人做某事”。

67. 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。
It was a warm spring afternoon, and the sun cast a golden hue (色调) over the small town of Willow Creek. The city’s annual art exhibition was going on, and the visitors were discussing the works with excitement. Among them was Emily, a talented artist. She appreciated the pictures with her heart pounding in her chest.
Emily had always been passionate about painting since young. Over the years, her talent had bloomed, and her pictures had become a reflection of her soul — full of life and emotion. Each brushstroke (笔画) was a whisper of her thoughts, a secret shared with the world. Today, she exhibited a painting of her grandmother, a woman who had shaped her life with love and care. The painting was a reminder of the impact her grandmother had on her life, a symbol of the bond that would never fade.
As the exhibition continued, Emily watched with nervous anticipation as people moved around the room, admiring various works. Emily searched their faces for a reaction, her heart jumping when she saw a smile or a nod of appreciation. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, “Emily, this is wonderful! Your grandmother looks so alive on this picture.” It was her art teacher, Mr. Smith, standing before her painting with a look of genuine admiration. His words filled her with a sense of achievement and relief.
The rest of the afternoon passed soon. More praises came her way. But it was the elderly man who caught her attention. He stood before her painting for what seemed like a century, his eyes misty with memories. When he finally spoke, his offer took her by surprise. “This painting reminds me so much of my late grandmother. I would like to make you an offer. Would you consider selling this painting to me?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Seeing the man leaving disappointedly, Emily made a new decision.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
At that moment, Emily hesitated. What should she do? She couldn’t imagine parting with the painting that held so many precious memories of her grandma. However, the thought of the old man’s sense of loss also upset her. Emily stood there, her gaze fixed on her painting. She recalled her grandmother’s warm smile and the love she had shown to her throughout her life. After a while, she turned to the old man, “I... I’m sorry,” she stammered, “I’m afraid I could not offer it to you.” The man nodded his head, forcing a smile and walked out of the exhibition room, a sense of loss spreading across his face.
Seeing the man leaving disappointedly, Emily made a new decision. She took down the picture, ran to the elderly man and spoke to him, “I’ve decided to offer you the painting.” Hearing the words, the man’s eyes widened with astonishment, “You mean it?” he asked, his voice trembling with emotion. Emily nodded her head firmly. Tears running down his face, the man reached out and took Emily’s hand tightly. “Thank you. This means the world to me.” Emily smiled, her heart filled with joy. It dawned on her that art not only has the power to create beauty but also conveys emotions and builds connections.

Afghanistan has its own version of the famous British comedy actor Charlie Chaplin.
His name is Karim Asir. He wears make- up and clothes to look like Charlie Chaplin in his movies. Asir also uses similar physical movements. He performs on the streets and at events in the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul.
Afghanistan has dealt with many years of war and widespread destruction brought by attacks. The 25- year- old actor says his goal is to use humour to help take people’s minds off the difficulties they face every day. “It is very simple. I want to give Afghans a reason to smile,” he said.
Charlie Chaplin rose to fame during the silent film age of the 1920s. His movies became popular around the world. When young Asir and his family escaped to Iran in 1996, he watched Chaplin’s movies on television and became fond of the actor and the characters he played. One of the characters impressed Asir most was a funny- looking man known as the Little Tramp. This character had no money and was always getting into trouble. The creative method he used to get out of trouble was always being humorous.
After returning to Afghanistan, Asir started wearing make- up and recreating Chaplin’s characters. He performs in public parks, homes for needy youth, as well as private parties and international aid agency events.
“I want to give my people a chance to forget their problems such as war, conflicts, and insecurity,” he said.
To do this, he keeps smiling while performing around the city and meeting with fans, but Asir says that inside, he cannot help but feel fearful about possible attacks.
“I am afraid of getting attacked, but these issues cannot stop me from being Charlie Chaplin,” he said.
24. What does Asir want to do by using humour?
A. To make himself look like Chaplin.
B. To make people laugh and be happy.
C. To earn money and support his family.
D. To encourage people to face their difficulties.
25. Which of the following is true about Asir?
A. Asir got to know Chaplin at the age of 25.
B. Asir wanted to be an act or when he was a child.
C. Asir began to perform after returning from Iran.
D. Asir played the Little Tramp and became popular.
26. What did Asir concern about while performing?
A. People may not like his performance.
B. He may encounter with dangerous attacks.
C. He might make mistakes in his performance.
D. People might feel afraid of being out in public.
27. What is the best title of this article?
A. Afghanistan: War and Peace
B. The Challenges of Being an Actor
C. The Story of the Afghan Charlie Chaplin
D. Charlie Chaplin: The World’s Greatest Comedian

“When you experience a difficult period of time, there’s nothing wrong with crying a little, but you have to soldier on,” according to late billionaire Charlie Munger. “You can cry, all right. But you can’t quit.” Munger said that challenging times are unavoidable in everyone’s life. What matters is how you deal with them and then move on.
On the surface, Munger’s life may have appeared perfect. He was a successful lawyer and investor, extremely wealthy, and he lived a long, seemingly happy life. But his struggles and sadness were intense: a divorce in his 20s, blindness in one eye as a result of failed surgery and the death of his 9-year-old son Teddy, who had leukemia (白血病).
“Your ability to recover from struggles or disappointments, whether in your personal life or career, is essential for your success and happiness in the long run,” experts say. Often, that can mean properly feeling sad or processing your disappointment before moving forward. As Munger noted, crying can be a healthy way of doing that. It literally helps you let go of emotional suffering through the release of endorphins (内啡肽), research shows. In contrast, repressing (压抑) those emotions can make a variety of mental and physical health problems severer.
“The iron rule of life is: Everybody struggles,” Munger said. People who have the strength to carry on are more likely to live happily, sometimes, learning a valuable lesson in the process. “It’s your only option. You can’t bring back the dead. You can’t cure the dying child. You can’t do all kinds of things,” said Munger. “You have to move forward.”
28. What does the underlined phrase “soldier on” probably mean?
A. Keep going. B. Take a break. C. Stay committed. D. Be passionate.
29. What can be learned about Munger according to the text?
A. He lived a life free of sadness and stress.
B. He was always successful and never failed.
C. He experienced significant personal losses.
D. He was a millionaire known for his success.
30. What does the research suggest about the role of crying during tough times?
A. It is a typical sign of weakness. B. It can only be beneficial for a short time.
C. It is a helpful way to process emotional pain. D. It promotes someone’s ability to recover immediately.
31. What’s Munger’s suggestion for dealing with hard times?
A. Focusing on the positive aspects of life.
B. Accepting the challenges and keeping on.
C. Seeking professional help to cope with struggles.
D. Avoiding sadness and focusing on moving forward.
D
Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you’re more free-spirited and artistic? If you’re the former, somebody’s probably told you at some point that you’re a left-brained person, and if you’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction.
Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person?
If there’s no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it? Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that people’s brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are. It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.
When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial. After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical”? The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves.
32. Which is a common belief about people’s individual characteristics?
A. A logical thinker is right-brained.
B. Our right brain and left brain work the same.
C. The right half of the brain is the analytical half.
D. The dominant half of brain determines one’s characteristics.
33. Why does the author mention mathematics in paragraph 2?
A. To show that math is a logical subject.
B. To argue that creativity is irrelevant in analytical thinking.
C. To prove that left-brained people are better at problem-solving.
D. To prove personality and talent differences aren’t due to hemispheric dominance.
34. Why do many people believe in the left-brain/ right-brain theory?
A. This theory is widespread and popular.
B. Scientific studies have confirmed its accuracy.
C. It provides a way for them to sort personalities.
D. Brain imaging technology has shown clear hemispheric differences.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Left-Brained People Are Smarter?
B. The Science of Math: Left or Right Brain?
C. The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance
D. Ways to Develop Both Logical and Creative Thinking

It was a warm spring afternoon, and the sun cast a golden hue (色调) over the small town of Willow Creek. The city’s annual art exhibition was going on, and the visitors were discussing the works with excitement. Among them was Emily, a talented artist. She appreciated the pictures with her heart pounding in her chest.
Emily had always been passionate about painting since young. Over the years, her talent had bloomed, and her pictures had become a reflection of her soul — full of life and emotion. Each brushstroke (笔画) was a whisper of her thoughts, a secret shared with the world. Today, she exhibited a painting of her grandmother, a woman who had shaped her life with love and care. The painting was a reminder of the impact her grandmother had on her life, a symbol of the bond that would never fade.
As the exhibition continued, Emily watched with nervous anticipation as people moved around the room, admiring various works. Emily searched their faces for a reaction, her heart jumping when she saw a smile or a nod of appreciation. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, “Emily, this is wonderful! Your grandmother looks so alive on this picture.” It was her art teacher, Mr. Smith, standing before her painting with a look of genuine admiration. His words filled her with a sense of achievement and relief.
The rest of the afternoon passed soon. More praises came her way. But it was the elderly man who caught her attention. He stood before her painting for what seemed like a century, his eyes misty with memories. When he finally spoke, his offer took her by surprise. “This painting reminds me so much of my late grandmother. I would like to make you an offer. Would you consider selling this painting to me?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
