Everyone fancies a bargain; if it is free, everyone loves it even more! Those who do not believe in a free lunch can now eat their words because it is possible to get things for free in Singapore without any conditions attached. Let me introduce you to some tips on where and how to gain some free presents, all without even touching your wallet.
Food
Go search for food festivals and fairs. These food sellers usually put out a lot of small samples for all to try. Famous ones include the Singapore Food Festival held annually in the month of July at various locations including the Takashimaya Square and Plaza Singapura.
Haircuts
There are well-known hair salons every month that require hair models for apprentices(学徒) to exercise their skills or for their hair stylists(发型师) to experiment with new styles.

Most hotels offer free wifi. There are also many cafes in Singapore that offer free wireless surfing. However, order a coffee to avoid unfriendly stares from the staff. Popular spots include the McDonald’s, Starbucks and
Cafe Galilee outlets throughout our island. Free City Tour If you are a traveler in Singapore, the Singapore Tourism Board has arranged for you to enjoy a free two-hour city tour that offers you a choice to enjoy a Sentosa Island tour or a small-boat experience.

I stood outside my front door catching my breath. After a lazy Christmas holiday, I had to recover from climbing stairs with carry-on bags and a suitcase. I looked up and blinked. Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE”.
Google Translate told me I would be arrested if I entered, so I didn’t. Finally, I called my rental agent. He went to the police station for more details.
My agent returned with authorization to enter. Not only were my files undisturbed, but so were the TV and printer. The burglars had taken a few items from the top drawer as well as a small amount of foreign currency in the bottom drawer. Somehow they hadn’t found the jewelry box in the third drawer.
I was in shock. My agent’s words were fuzzy, something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police.
Then one day, I remembered that I’d left another jewelry box in the flat. My heart sank as I thought of another locket that had been in that box, a gold engraved one with a picture of my late honey Grandma inside. When I realized the box was missing, the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried.
At the end of January, I received a registered letter from the police. The burglar hadn’t been found, and the case was closed. I slept with my purse by my bed. I hid my laptop when I showered. And then another challenge rose. I was unexpectedly laid off.
Then one July night, I reached into my third drawer, pulled out my jean shorts, and heard a small thud. I looked down and blinked: It was the tiny jewelry box I thought had been stolen six months earlier.
Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up. I started to cry.
24. What did the red tape across the writer’s door mean?
A. There was a burglary here.
B. The house couldn’t be entered freely.
C. The rent had to be paid quickly.
D. The rental agent advertised for the house.
25. What did the agent promise to do?
A. To fix the locks the next day.
B. To report the burglary to the police.
C. To have an iron security gate fixed.
D. To pay for missing things for the writer.
26. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Red Tape B. A Jewelry Box C. “Lost” Smile D. Grandma’s Advice
C
Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned.
Many young people entering university to study literature have not read extensively (广泛地), and they often have difficulty doing so during their time at university. This is a growing trend that many academics have observed, although it isn’t always the case. Bate told the BBC’s Today programme, “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the reduced attention due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and instant TikTok hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said.
He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.”
State-funded charter (特许) schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his son was exposed to an extensive variety of works. “My teenager has just graduated from a charter high school called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Inferno, Crime and Punishment. He came home one day saying that they had been praised for studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope.”
“If you haven’t got readers, what are writers going to do? The deep, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health. It’s also good for developing skills, for concentration and critical thinking, and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and individuals.”
27. How does the author present the topic?
A. By stating a worrying change.
B. By citing a research finding.
C. By explaining a cultural concept.
D. By describing a typical professor.
28. Which of the following does Bate think is a reason for the trend?
A. Overuse of smartphones.
B. Limited access to literary works.
C. Insufficient school education.
D. Poor learning ability at university.
29. What does Bate imply by referring to his son?
A. Classical education is not a lost cause.
B. The young are no strangers to classics.
C. Charter schools deserve more attention.
D. Great books are within teenagers’ reach.
30. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Literary Taste Gives Way to Screens
B. Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C. Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D. Traditional Education Makes a Comeback
D
A new study offers fresh insight into how people assess the environmental impact of the foods they eat, and the results suggest many are getting it wrong. These misunderstandings point to a clear need for simple environmental impact labels to help guide better choices.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology asked 168 participants in the UK to sort a wide variety of supermarket foods into environmental impact categories of their own making. Participants were also shown scientific estimates of each product’s environmental impact and asked whether the results were higher or lower than they expected.
The study found that people tend to assess the impact of food using two main factors: whether the food comes from animals or plants, and how processed it is. In general, participants assumed that meat and dairy products, as well as highly processed foods, are worse for the environment.
However, these assumptions sometimes belie reality. Many participants overestimated the environmental impact of processed foods while underestimating the impact of water-intensive (高耗水的) products. They were also surprised to learn how much higher the environmental impact of beef is compared to other meats like chicken.
Food production plays a major role in environmental issues, including greenhouse gases and biodiversity loss. Encouraging more sustainable eating habits depends in part on understanding how people perceive the environmental footprint of different foods.
Daniel Fletcher, lead author of the study, said, “We found participants would be willing to change their purchasing behavior based on this task, but they may struggle to compare the environmental impact of animal-based products and highly processed foods because they see their effects as too different to weigh against each other. Environmental impact data on food products is opening up new possibilities for this research, and labels that give foods a single overall grade (such as A-E) could help make these comparisons easier for consumers, thus allowing people to make sustainable food choices.”
31. What do the researchers hope to find out about the participants?
A. Their understanding of food quality.
B. Their preferences for popular food.
C. Their methods for food categorization.
D. Their view of food’s ecological cost.
32. What does the underlined word “belie” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ignore. B. Affect.
C. Disclose. D. Mismatch.
33. What do consumers require according to Daniel Fletcher?
A. Change of shopping behavior.
B. A uniform grading system.
C. More data on food consumption.
D. A comparison of different foods.
34. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advise on food choices.
B. To call for food eco-labels.
C. To advocate good eating habits.
D. To show dietary carbon footprint.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. ____35____ Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder. Different tricks, same purpose: to push ourselves when our own motivation isn’t enough.
These tricks are especially common among people who feel they must be perfect for everyone else. These people think the world expects them to nail everything, to never say “I can’t.” For them, doing something isn’t about the thing itself — it’s about not letting anyone down. So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? ____36____
A little trick here and there? No big deal. The trouble starts when you can’t stop. When you care too much about what others think, you reach for these tricks all the time. Over time, they stop being tricks. ____37____ And they become hard to spot — even in yourself.
Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. ____38____ So he stays. But anger builds. He can’t be mad at his parents, so he aims it at the other team. Beating them becomes his proof that he’s good enough. This anger becomes his fuel. But look closer: he’s not playing to win. He’s playing to survive.
____39____ But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. So it’s worth asking: Do I want to spend my whole life just getting by?
A. They become who you are.
B. We all need these tricks sometimes.
C. For these people, it’s almost always fear.
D. Quitting would feel like letting them down.
E. They turn into tools you use without thinking.
F. Pushing yourself a little harder is never a bad thing.
G. Athletes find reasons to get fired up against opponents.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)。
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
I started running competitively almost as soon as I could walk. I was three years old when I joined in my first official race. My mom and both of my brothers were runners, so the sport was built into my life from the beginning. When I was young, I enjoyed the freedom, joy, and sense of power running gave me. This pure, concentrated love of the sport gave me wings that carried me through even the toughest practices and races.
However, as I got older, pressure began to build up. I was winning, but I lost sight of my real purpose as a runner: to have fun. I even began to fear hard workouts, knowing I would be disappointed if I didn’t achieve my goals. Before the final season in my high school career, I trained so hard that I got exhausted and hurt my calf. Rather than pausing for treatment and recovery, I chose to get to the line. But at last, I had to step off the track because the pain was simply unbearable.
Recovery was tough. When I was finally able to run again, I was out of shape and couldn’t keep up with my team. Over the next three years, more injuries followed. But later, a famous long-distance runner Cathy’s post changed everything for me. “Every day, I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: Keep showing up.” With just a few words, she reminded me how simple running really is. I realized I didn’t have to be perfect every day. I just had to show up and give what I had.
Now, I still run every day and have completed four marathons. Joy and gratitude are the center of my practice. Thanks to Cathy, I can always return to the calming belief that things will go my way if I just keep showing up.
40. What did running bring to the author when she was young?
________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why did the author no longer enjoy running later?
________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> Inspired by Cathy’s post, the author realized that she had to focus on pursuing perfection.
________________________________________________________________________________
43. From the story, what can you learn about “Keep showing up”? (In about 40 words)

Those who do not believe in a free lunch can now eat their words because it is possible to get things for free in Singapore without any conditions attached. Let me introduce you to some tips on where and how to gain some free presents, all without even touching your wallet.
Food
Go search for food festivals and fairs. These food sellers usually put out a lot of small samples for all to try. Famous ones include the Singapore Food Festival held annually in the month of July at various locations including the Takashimaya Square and Plaza Singapura.

B
I stood outside my front door catching my breath. After a lazy Christmas holiday, I had to recover from climbing stairs with carry-on bags and a suitcase. I looked up and blinked. Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE”.
Google Translate told me I would be arrested if I entered, so I didn’t. Finally, I called my rental agent. He went to the police station for more details.
My agent returned with authorization to enter. Not only were my files undisturbed, but so were the TV and printer. The burglars had taken a few items from the top drawer as well as a small amount of foreign currency in the bottom drawer. Somehow they hadn’t found the jewelry box in the third drawer.
I was in shock. My agent’s words were fuzzy, something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police.
Then one day, I remembered that I’d left another jewelry box in the flat. My heart sank as I thought of another locket that had been in that box, a gold engraved one with a picture of my late honey Grandma inside. When I realized the box was missing, the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried.
At the end of January, I received a registered letter from the police. The burglar hadn’t been found, and the case was closed. I slept with my purse by my bed. I hid my laptop when I showered. And then another challenge rose. I was unexpectedly laid off.
Then one July night, I reached into my third drawer, pulled out my jean shorts, and heard a small thud. I looked down and blinked: It was the tiny jewelry box I thought had been stolen six months earlier.
Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up. I started to cry.
24. What did the red tape across the writer’s door mean?
A. There was a burglary here.
B. The house couldn’t be entered freely.
C. The rent had to be paid quickly.
D. The rental agent advertised for the house.
25. What did the agent promise to do?
A. To fix the locks the next day.
B. To report the burglary to the police.
C. To have an iron security gate fixed.
D. To pay for missing things for the writer.
26. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Red Tape B. A Jewelry Box C. “Lost” Smile D. Grandma’s Advice
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述作者租住的公寓遭入室盗窃,案件无果,后来以为失窃的祖母吊坠首饰盒意外失而复得的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE”. (门上贴着警方封条。我不懂匈牙利语,但那一个英文单词就足以说明一切:“POLICE(警方)”。)”和第二段中“Google Translate told me I would be arrested if I entered, so I didn’t. (谷歌翻译告诉我,如果我进去就会被逮捕,所以我没有进去。)”可知,门上的封条意味着房子不能随意进入。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“My agent’s words were fuzzy, something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police. (我的中介话语有些含糊,提到明天修锁以及给警方列一份失窃物品清单。)”可知,中介承诺第二天修理门锁。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段中“Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up. (盒子里面是那个吊坠,亲爱的祖母在里面朝我微笑,陪伴着我,告诉我不要放弃。)”可知,文章围绕失而复得、承载祖母笑容的吊坠展开,“‘Lost’ Smile”最适合作为标题。

Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned.
Many young people entering university to study literature have not read extensively (广泛地), and they often have difficulty doing so during their time at university. This is a growing trend that many academics have observed, although it isn’t always the case. Bate told the BBC’s Today programme, “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the reduced attention due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and instant TikTok hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said.
He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.”
State-funded charter (特许) schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his son was exposed to an extensive variety of works. “My teenager has just graduated from a charter high school called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Inferno, Crime and Punishment. He came home one day saying that they had been praised for studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope.”
“If you haven’t got readers, what are writers going to do? The deep, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health. It’s also good for developing skills, for concentration and critical thinking, and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and individuals.”
27. How does the author present the topic?
A. By stating a worrying change.
B. By citing a research finding.
C. By explaining a cultural concept.
D. By describing a typical professor.
28. Which of the following does Bate think is a reason for the trend?
A. Overuse of smartphones.
B. Limited access to literary works.
C. Insufficient school education.
D. Poor learning ability at university.
29. What does Bate imply by referring to his son?
A. Classical education is not a lost cause.
B. The young are no strangers to classics.
C. Charter schools deserve more attention.
D. Great books are within teenagers’ reach.
30. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Literary Taste Gives Way to Screens
B. Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C. Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D. Traditional Education Makes a Comeback
【答案】27. A 28. C 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】牛津教授指出如今文学专业学生阅读量大幅下降,并分析该现象成因,也提及了利好现状与深度阅读的重要性。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned. (牛津大学英国文学教授乔纳森·贝特爵士警示,文学专业学生过去一周读三本书,如今三周都难以读完一本。)”可知,作者通过陈述一个令人担忧的变化引出话题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said. (贝特表示:事实上这一切始于学校。只需看看英国高级程度考试教学大纲的缩减,以及学校倾向于布置篇幅更短的作品的现象便能知晓。)”和第四段“He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.” (他补充道,“这也是英美顶尖大学推行多元化招生和普及教育带来的意外结果……部分学生就读的学校中,教师的主要工作是维持秩序,因此学校没有对长篇书籍阅读提出要求。”)”可知,贝特认为该现象的原因是学校教育存在不足。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“State-funded charter schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said. (然而,美国公立特许学校是一个有趣的现象。贝特称:“这些学校的古典教育正在强势回归。”)”以及后续讲述儿子在特许学校研读多部经典著作、学习深奥知识,以及第六段最后“So there is some hope. (所以仍存有希望。)”可知,贝特提及儿子的经历是为了说明古典教育并未彻底没落,仍有发展希望。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned. (牛津大学英国文学教授乔纳森·贝特爵士警示,文学专业学生过去一周读三本书,如今三周都难以读完一本。)”可知,全文围绕文学专业学生阅读量锐减这一核心问题展开,介绍了该现象、分析背后成因、列举特例并阐述深度阅读缺失的危害,其核心主题是文学专业学生面临阅读危机。
D
A new study offers fresh insight into how people assess the environmental impact of the foods they eat, and the results suggest many are getting it wrong. These misunderstandings point to a clear need for simple environmental impact labels to help guide better choices.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology asked 168 participants in the UK to sort a wide variety of supermarket foods into environmental impact categories of their own making. Participants were also shown scientific estimates of each product’s environmental impact and asked whether the results were higher or lower than they expected.
The study found that people tend to assess the impact of food using two main factors: whether the food comes from animals or plants, and how processed it is. In general, participants assumed that meat and dairy products, as well as highly processed foods, are worse for the environment.
However, these assumptions sometimes belie reality. Many participants overestimated the environmental impact of processed foods while underestimating the impact of water-intensive (高耗水的) products. They were also surprised to learn how much higher the environmental impact of beef is compared to other meats like chicken.
Food production plays a major role in environmental issues, including greenhouse gases and biodiversity loss. Encouraging more sustainable eating habits depends in part on understanding how people perceive the environmental footprint of different foods.
Daniel Fletcher, lead author of the study, said, “We found participants would be willing to change their purchasing behavior based on this task, but they may struggle to compare the environmental impact of animal-based products and highly processed foods because they see their effects as too different to weigh against each other. Environmental impact data on food products is opening up new possibilities for this research, and labels that give foods a single overall grade (such as A-E) could help make these comparisons easier for consumers, thus allowing people to make sustainable food choices.”
31. What do the researchers hope to find out about the participants?
A. Their understanding of food quality.
B. Their preferences for popular food.
C. Their methods for food categorization.
D. Their view of food’s ecological cost.
32. What does the underlined word “belie” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ignore. B. Affect.
C. Disclose. D. Mismatch.
33. What do consumers require according to Daniel Fletcher?
A. Change of shopping behavior.
B. A uniform grading system.
C. More data on food consumption.
D. A comparison of different foods.
34. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advise on food choices.
B. To call for food eco-labels.
C. To advocate good eating habits.
D. To show dietary carbon footprint.
【答案】31. D 32. D 33. B 34. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于人们如何评估食物对环境影响的心理学研究及其发现。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology asked 168 participants in the UK to sort a wide variety of supermarket foods into environmental impact categories of their own making.(诺丁汉大学心理学院的研究人员要求英国168名参与者将各种超市食品按自己设定的环境影响类别进行分类)”可知,研究人员希望了解参与者对食物生态成本的看法。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第四段中“However, these assumptions sometimes belie reality. Many participants overestimated the environmental impact of processed foods while underestimating the impact of water-intensive products.(然而,这些假设有时会与现实belie。许多参与者高估了加工食品对环境的影响,却低估了高耗水产品的影响)”可知,许多参与者高估了加工食品对环境的影响,却低估了高耗水产品的影响,说明人们的假设与现实不符,即不匹配,所以划线单词的意思为“不匹配”。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“Environmental impact data on food products is opening up new possibilities for this research, and labels that give foods a single overall grade (such as A-E) could help make these comparisons easier for consumers, thus allowing people to make sustainable food choices.(食品的环境影响数据正在为这项研究开辟新的可能性,而那些为食品提供单一综合评级(如A-E)的标签,则有助于消费者更轻松地进行此类比较,从而让人们做出可持续的食品选择)”可知,消费者需要一个统一的评分系统来帮助比较。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段中“These misunderstandings point to a clear need for simple environmental impact labels to help guide better choices.(这些误解表明,迫切需要简单的环境影响标签来帮助引导更好的选择)”以及全文内容可知,本文旨在通过介绍研究结果来呼吁推广食品生态标签。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. ____35____ Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder. Different tricks, same purpose: to push ourselves when our own motivation isn’t enough.
These tricks are especially common among people who feel they must be perfect for everyone else. These people think the world expects them to nail everything, to never say “I can’t.” For them, doing something isn’t about the thing itself — it’s about not letting anyone down. So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? ____36____
A little trick here and there? No big deal. The trouble starts when you can’t stop. When you care too much about what others think, you reach for these tricks all the time. Over time, they stop being tricks. ____37____ And they become hard to spot — even in yourself.
Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. ____38____ So he stays. But anger builds. He can’t be mad at his parents, so he aims it at the other team. Beating them becomes his proof that he’s good enough. This anger becomes his fuel. But look closer: he’s not playing to win. He’s playing to survive.
____39____ But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. So it’s worth asking: Do I want to spend my whole life just getting by?
A. They become who you are.
B. We all need these tricks sometimes.
C. For these people, it’s almost always fear.
D. Quitting would feel like letting them down.
E. They turn into tools you use without thinking.
F. Pushing yourself a little harder is never a bad thing.
G. Athletes find reasons to get fired up against opponents.
【答案】35. G 36. C 37. A 38. D 39. B
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述人们常会使用心理小方法督促自己,分析过度依赖这类方式的弊端并引导人们理性看待。
【35题详解】
根据前文“We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. (我们都会耍些小小的小心思。为了不迟到,我们会把钟表调快。)”以及后文“Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder. (有些人会往最坏的方面设想,只为鞭策自己更加努力。)”可知,此处需要列举另一类心理把戏的例子,G选项“Athletes find reasons to get fired up against opponents. (运动员会找理由激起对抗对手的斗志。)”和前后事例并列,举例说明不同的心理小技巧,符合语境。
【36题详解】
根据前文“So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? (那么真正的问题来了:你这么做,是出于本心愿意,还是因为害怕不这么做会产生后果?)”可知,空格处针对问题给出答案,C选项“For these people, it’s almost always fear. (对这类人而言,原因几乎都是内心的恐惧。)”承接上文的设问,点明这类人的真实心态,符合语境。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Over time, they stop being tricks. (久而久之,这些小手段也就习以为常了。)”以及后文“And they become hard to spot — even in yourself. (这些心思也变得难以察觉,就连我们自己都无法发觉。)”可知,此处说明心理把戏慢慢发生转变,成为自身的一部分,A选项“They become who you are. (它们渐渐变成了你本身的一部分。)”承接语义,体现变化过程,符合语境。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. (试想有个孩子坚持参加某项运动,只为让父母感到骄傲。他或许本身也喜欢这项运动,但这并非他坚持下去的原因。)”以及后文“So he stays. (所以他选择继续坚持。)”可知,空格解释孩子不愿放弃的原因,D选项“Quitting would feel like letting them down. (放弃会让他觉得辜负了父母。)”衔接上下文,解释孩子坚持下去的心理,符合语境。
【39题详解】
根据后文“But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. (偶尔借助这些想法行事,和整个人生都依附于此,二者有着天壤之别。)”中的But表转折,可知前文先承认这类心理技巧存在一定价值,B选项“We all need these tricks sometimes. (我们有时都需要用到这些小方法。)”引出下文的辩证分析,符合语境。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)。
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
I started running competitively almost as soon as I could walk. I was three years old when I joined in my first official race. My mom and both of my brothers were runners, so the sport was built into my life from the beginning. When I was young, I enjoyed the freedom, joy, and sense of power running gave me. This pure, concentrated love of the sport gave me wings that carried me through even the toughest practices and races.
However, as I got older, pressure began to build up. I was winning, but I lost sight of my real purpose as a runner: to have fun. I even began to fear hard workouts, knowing I would be disappointed if I didn’t achieve my goals. Before the final season in my high school career, I trained so hard that I got exhausted and hurt my calf. Rather than pausing for treatment and recovery, I chose to get to the line. But at last, I had to step off the track because the pain was simply unbearable.
Recovery was tough. When I was finally able to run again, I was out of shape and couldn’t keep up with my team. Over the next three years, more injuries followed. But later, a famous long-distance runner Cathy’s post changed everything for me. “Every day, I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: Keep showing up.” With just a few words, she reminded me how simple running really is. I realized I didn’t have to be perfect every day. I just had to show up and give what I had.
Now, I still run every day and have completed four marathons. Joy and gratitude are the center of my practice. Thanks to Cathy, I can always return to the calming belief that things will go my way if I just keep showing up.
40. What did running bring to the author when she was young?
________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why did the author no longer enjoy running later?
________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> Inspired by Cathy’s post, the author realized that she had to focus on pursuing perfection.
________________________________________________________________________________
43. From the story, what can you learn about “Keep showing up”? (In about 40 words)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. The freedom, joy, and sense of power.
41. Because pressure began to build up.
42. Inspired by Cathy’s post, the author realized that she had to focus on pursuing perfection. Because the author realized that she didn’t have to be perfect every day.
43. It means consistently trying without demanding perfection. By showing up and doing your best, progress and joy will follow naturally.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从童年时期开始参与竞技跑步,到随着年龄增长面临压力、失去跑步的初衷,再到因受伤而反思,最终在一位著名长跑运动员的启发下重新找回跑步的快乐与纯粹的过程。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“When I was young, I enjoyed the freedom, joy, and sense of power running gave me.(当我年轻的时候,我喜欢跑步给我的自由、快乐和力量感)”可知,在作者年轻的时候,跑步给她带来了自由、快乐和力量的感觉。故答案为The freedom, joy, and sense of power.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“However, as I got older, pressure began to build up. I was winning, but I lost sight of my real purpose as a runner: to have fun. I even began to fear hard workouts, knowing I would be disappointed if I didn’t achieve my goals.(然而,随着年龄的增长,压力开始累积。我赢了,但我忘记了我作为一名跑步者的真正目的:获得乐趣。我甚至开始害怕艰苦的锻炼,因为我知道如果我没有达到我的目标我会很失望)”可知,因为压力开始累积,所以作者后来不再喜欢跑步了。故答案为Because pressure began to build up.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“But later, a famous long-distance runner Cathy’s post changed everything for me. “Every day, I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: Keep showing up.” With just a few words, she reminded me how simple running really is. I realized I didn’t have to be perfect every day. I just had to show up and give what I had.(但后来,一位著名的长跑运动员凯西的帖子彻底改变了我。“每一天,我都选择出现在跑道上,看看自己能做到什么程度,并努力超越自我。我的建议是:坚持跑下去。”短短几句话让我恍然大悟——跑步的本质原来如此简单。我明白了不必苛求每天表现完美,只需坚持站上跑道,全力以赴)”可知,受到Cathy帖子的启发,作者意识到不必苛求每天表现完美,只需坚持站上跑道,全力以赴,所以“Inspired by Cathy’s post, the author realized that she had to focus on pursuing perfection.”中“had to focus on pursuing perfection.”是错误的,应改为The author realized that she didn’t have to be perfect every day.故答案为Inspired by Cathy’s post, the author realized that she had to focus on pursuing perfection. Because the author realized that she didn’t have to be perfect every day.
【43题详解】
开放性试题。要言之有理,注意词数限制。如:根据第三段“But later, a famous long-distance runner Cathy’s post changed everything for me. “Every day, I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: Keep showing up.” With just a few words, she reminded me how simple running really is. I realized I didn’t have to be perfect every day. I just had to show up and give what I had.(但后来,一位著名的长跑运动员凯西的帖子彻底改变了我。“每一天,我都选择出现在跑道上,看看自己能做到什么程度,并努力超越自我。我的建议是:坚持跑下去。”短短几句话让我恍然大悟——跑步的本质原来如此简单。我明白了不必苛求每天表现完美,只需坚持站上跑道,全力以赴)”可知,“Keep showing up”意味着不断地尝试而不要求完美。通过表现和尽你最大的努力,进步和快乐自然会随之而来。故答案为It means consistently trying without demanding perfection. By showing up and doing your best, progress and joy will follow naturally.
