Q: What's the man's occupation? 5.M: Amy, are you coming with us to the theatre? W: No, I'm sorry, but I have to catch up with my homework. Q: What is Amy going to do? 6.W: Listen to me, John!

Section B Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. "Sunday is always the most enjoyable day for me. I do not have to go to school, neither do I have to go for tuition lessons. It is simply the best day to do anything I want. “At that moment, a knock disrupted my thoughts. Mother barged in to say that she was going to the supermarket. Before shutting the door, she reminded me to turn off the fire on the stove after the water in the kettle had boiled. Answering her with a wave of my hand, I continued to toss and turn in the warmth of my bed. Soon, I fell back into a deep sleep. Not long after, I was awoken by a waft of smoke. Without delay, I rushed into the living room and then to my parents' room, hoping to find the source of the smell, but to no avail. Instinctively, I rushed to the kitchen. Seeing the fire caused by the burning kettle, my legs turned to jelly. I had forgotten about Mother’s reminder for me to turn off the stove. For a brief moment, I was clueless about how I should react. Fear- stricken, I threw pails of water on the fire, attempting to put it out. After splashing numerous pails of water at the fire, the flames were reduced to a sizzle. Seeing that it had worked, I heaved a huge sigh of relief and slumped to the floor, exhausted by my efforts to put out the fire. Just when I thought the worst was over, the door opened, followed by a familiar greeting, "Lucy! Lend me a hand with the groceries! " "It is time to face the music,” I thought to myself, worriedly. Questions: 11.What first woke Lucy up from her deep sleep? 12.Where was Lucy's mother when the fire started? 13.What was the real worst thing to Lucy? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following report. Searching for second-hand goods is no longer regarded as a shameful thing. Nowadays, many people enjoy the fun of idling about the city in their spare time hunting for something valuable. Looking for used goods has become a fashion. In the past, craftsmen were serious about making furniture. Since they were not keen on seeking wealth, they could settle down to make real artistic works. No wonder that people nowadays love their products. Insiders estimate that there are at least 50 - 60 stores in Shanghai that sell used goods. Apart from furniture stores, business of stores that sell second-hand jewelry is booming as well. Recently, bookstores that sell second-hand books have become popular in Shanghai again. Some books were made during the late Qing Dynasty while others during the 1980s. Lots of people visit these bookstores.50-year-old Mr. Zhang said that in recent years, there were too many books about fashion or leisure. New good books might sell at very high prices. So he'd rather go to second-hand bookstores to look for books that are good yet not expensive. Questions: 14.Why do so many people idle about the city in their spare time? 15.Which may not be the reason why people hunt for second- hand goods? 16.What 's the topic of the passage? Section C Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: Hello? W: May I speak to Jonathan, please? M: Speaking. W: Uh hi, uh, my name is Amy, and I'm calling about the room for rent. I saw your ad at the campus housing office. M: Oh, right. OK, uh, are you a student? W: Well, right now I'm just studying English, but I'm planning to start college full- time in March. M: I see. Where are you living now? W: I've been living in a house with some other students, but I don't like it there. M: Why? What’s the problem? W: Well, first of all, it’s really noisy, and it’s not very clean. I need a place that’s cleaner and more private. M: Well, it's really quiet here. W: By the way, who’s Tom? His name is also in the ad. M: He's my cousin. He's a musician, but he's also taking classes in computer programming. He’s really easy to live with. W: OK. Um, is the neighborhood safe? M: Oh, sure. We haven't had any problems. W: Well, it sounds really nice. When can I come by and see it? M: Can you make it this evening around five? Then you can meet Tom too. W: Yeah, 5 o' clock is good. What's the address? M: It's 3175 Hayworth Avenue. W: OK, see you late. Bye! M: Bye! Questions: 17.What can we learn about the man? 18.Where did Amy see Jonathan's ad? 19.What is Amy’s expectation of the new place? 20.What can be inferred from the conversation? II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20’) Section A（10’） Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Digitally Preserving Intangible Cultural Heritage Around the world, traditional crafts, rituals, and oral traditions are disappearing at an alarming rate. According to UNESCO, a language 21 (die) approximately every two weeks, taking with it irreplaceable cultural knowledge. In response to this crisis, a growing number of cultural institutions are turning to digital technology as a means of preservation. The process, 22 involves using 3D scanning, high-definition video, and virtual reality, allows researchers to create detailed digital records of cultural practices before they vanish. In Japan, for example, master potters 23 (record) using motion-capture technology so that future generations can study their exact hand movements. Similarly, in Peru, indigenous communities are working with anthropologists to digitally archive their traditional weaving techniques, 24 (ensure) that these skills are not lost forever. What makes these digital archives particularly valuable is 25 they capture not just the physical artifact but the entire cultural context surrounding it. A digital record of a traditional dance, for instance, might include the music, the costumes, the ceremonial significance, and interviews with the performers — something 26 a simple photograph could never achieve. However, the approach is not without controversy. Some cultural groups argue that 27 (digitize) sacred rituals strips them of their spiritual significance and turns living traditions into museum exhibits. There are also practical concerns: once cultural knowledge is stored digitally, 28 owns it? These questions, 29 remain largely unresolved, will require careful negotiation between technology companies, governments, and indigenous communities. Despite these challenges, digital preservation offers perhaps the best hope for safeguarding the world’s intangible cultural heritage. As one archivist noted, “We cannot save everything, 30 we can ensure that future generations at least have a record of what was once practiced and valued.” 【答案】 21．dies 22．which 23．have been recorded/are being recorded 24．ensuring 25．that 26．that 27．digitizing 28．who 29．which 30．but 【导语】本文介绍数字技术可记录濒危非物质文化遗产，完整留存其文化内涵，但也存在消解神圣性、权属不明等争议，仍是保护非遗的最佳方式之一。 21．考查时态。句意：据联合国教科文组织称，大约每两周就会有一种语言消亡，随之带走的是不可替代的文化知识。根据后文every two weeks可知为一般现在时，主语为language，谓语用三单形式。 22．考查定语从句。句意：该过程利用3D扫描、高清视频和虚拟现实技术，使研究人员能够在文化实践消失之前，创建其详细的数字记录。引导非限定性定语从句，指代the process，作从句主语用which。 23．考查时态语态。句意：例如在日本，已记录或正在记录陶艺大师使用动作捕捉技术，以便后代能够研究他们精确的手部动作。主语master potters与谓语构成被动关系，此处可理解为正在发生用现在进行时的被动语态；或理解为过去的动作对现在的影响用现在完成时的被动语态，助动词用have。 24．考查非谓语动词。句意：同样，在秘鲁，原住民社区正与人类学家合作，将他们的传统编织技艺数字化存档，以确保这些技能不会永远消失。此处ensure与上文句子构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。 25．考查表语从句。句意：这些数字档案之所以特别珍贵，是因为它们不仅记录了实物本身，还完整地捕捉了其周围的文化背景。引导表语从句，从句不缺少成分或句意，故用that。 26．考查定语从句。句意：例如，一段传统舞蹈的数字记录可能包括音乐、服装、仪式意义以及对表演者的采访——而这些是普通照片永远无法实现的。不定代词something在定语从句中作主语，用that引导。 27．考查非谓语动词。句意：一些文化群体认为，将神圣仪式数字化会剥夺其精神意义，使活态传统沦为博物馆展品。作主语用动名词形式。 28．考查疑问词。句意：此外，还存在实际问题：一旦文化知识被数字化存储，谁来拥有它？此处为特殊疑问句，询问“谁拥有这份数字资料”用who。 29．考查定语从句。句意：这些问题至今仍未得到妥善解决，需要科技公司、政府和原住民社区之间进行细致的协商。引导非限定性定语从句，指代These questions，从句缺少主语，故用which。 30．考查连词。句意：正如一位档案管理员所指出的：“我们无法保存一切，但可以确保后代至少能留存下曾经被实践和珍视的事物。”前后转折，我们无法保全一切，但能留下记录用连词but。 Section B（10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．central    B．clarify    C． awkwardly  D．distress     E. consideration    F. retirement  G. cover     H. rigid      I. potentially    J. beneficiaries     K. filling    Fillings for ‘the Sandwich Generation’ There’s a moment in your late forties or fifties when life seems to become complicated. This should be a time when you enjoy the fruits of your earlier labors: an established career, children largely grown up and the loan mostly paid off. On top of this, as future 31 of baby boomer parents, you stand to benefit from a record wave of inheritance. But it’s not so easy, is it? The economic turmoil (混乱) of recent years has hit this age group hard, with many people now in financial 32 , even if others are still doing well. This group belongs to the Sandwich Generation, sitting 33 in the middle of the generational spectrum Clients often come to us to discuss how they can best help at both ends of the spectrum. However, they should not forget that an important 34 is whether they have enough to fund their own retirement? The question is especially important when future investment returns are more uncertain than recent years, and inflation, while declining, is still high. Extending the sandwich analogy(类比), how much 35 can one afford? As regards planning for 36 , there are key factors to think about: the average inflation rate during retirement, the expected future investment returns and our own longevity. All are largely outside our control. Within our control are other critical aspects. First, ensuring we’re invested in a diversified portfolio (组合) with sufficient equity (股票) exposure to 37 a long period of income drawdown. Next, making the most of tax-enhancing wrappers such as pensions and Isas(个人投资账户). Finally, checking we are not overpaying in fees. Knowing how much we need to support our retirement is 38 to understanding whether we can help other family members. No one wants to find they have given away too much and are left struggling. Parents want to be generous to their children in their wills. But we find they are keen to understand what they can provide much sooner. There may also be elderly parents to think of -- most of the help they need may be emotional or practical, such as cooking a meal, or doing basic home repairs, rather than financial. Helping them to invest sensibly and keeping fees low can make a real difference to how long their retirement savings last, 39 covering additional care costs. And if the savings are not exhausted, there will be additional wealth to pass on. We need to tie down these financial uncertainties and   40 what we can do potentially to help family members earlier in their lives. My advice: face up to being the filling and get on with figuring out just what you can put in your sandwich. 【答案】 31．J 32．D 33．C 34．E 35．K 36．F 37．G 38．A 39．I 40．B 【导语】本文介绍了“三明治一代”的经济状况及规划。“三明治一代”指四五十岁左右，上有老下有小，面临多种经济压力的人群。文章探讨了他们在资助自身退休生活、帮助上下两代人等方面所面临的问题及应对建议。 31．考查名词。句意：除此之外，作为婴儿潮一代父母未来的受益人，你有望从创纪录的一波遗产浪潮中受益。根据“stand to benefit from a record wave of inheritance”可知，这里指未来从父母遗产中受益的人，beneficiaries“受益人”作宾语。 32．考查名词。句意：近年来的经济动荡给这个年龄段的人带来了沉重打击，许多人现在陷入了财务困境，尽管其他人仍然过得很好。根据“The economic turmoil (混乱) of recent years has hit this age group hard”可知，许多人现在陷入了财务困境。distress意思是“困境；苦恼”。“in financial distress”为固定短语，意为“陷入财务困境”，作宾语。 33．考查副词。句意：这一群体属于三明治一代，尴尬地夹在两代人之间。根据“in the middle of the generational spectrum”可知，这是一种尴尬的处境，awkwardly“尴尬地”作状语符合语境。 34．考查名词。句意：然而，他们不应忘记一个重要的考虑因素是他们是否有足够的资金来维持自己的退休生活？根据“whether they have enough to fund their own retirement”可知，这是一个需要考虑的重要方面，consideration“考虑”符合语境。作宾语。 35．考查名词。句意：延续“三明治”这个类比，一个人能负担多少馅料呢？根据前文“Extending the sandwich analogy”可知，这里将资助自己退休生活类比为三明治中的馅料，filling“馅料”符合语境，作宾语。 36．考查名词。句意：关于退休规划，有几个关键因素需要考虑：退休期间的平均通货膨胀率、预期的未来投资回报以及我们自己的寿命。根据“there are key factors to think about: the average inflation rate during retirement”可知，这是关于退休规划。retirement“退休”符合，作宾语。 37．考查动词。句意：首先，确保我们投资于多元化的投资组合，有足够的股票投资，以支付长期的收入提取。根据“a long period of income drawdown.”可知，有足够的股票投资，以支付长期的收入提取。cover“足以支付；覆盖”。符合语境，不定式作目的状语。 38．考查形容词。句意：清楚我们退休所需的资金数额，是判断我们能否接济家中其他亲人的关键。根据“Knowing how much we need to support our retirement”可知，空处表示“至关重要的”，central“最重要的”符合语境，作表语。 39．考查副词。句意：帮助他们明智地投资并保持低费用，对于他们的退休储蓄能维持多久可能会产生真正的影响，这可能涵盖额外的护理费用。修饰动词“covering”，表示这种影响可能涵盖额外护理费用，potentially“可能地；潜在地”符合语境。 40．考查动词。句意：我们需要解决这些财务不确定性，并弄清楚我们在早期生活中可能为家庭成员做些什么。and连接两个并列的动词，与“tie down”并列，这里指弄清楚能为家人做什么，clarify“澄清；阐明；弄清楚”符合语境。 III.

While causality(因果关系)cannot be determined, Brown says that it is at least(51)_________ that children and adolescents can learn about healthy social relationships from their experiences of interacting with animals.“If a connection exists between the skills required for these relationships,then it might be useful to make use of animal relationships as a way to (52)_______ the development of social skills," she says.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) The Shimmering State by Meredith Westgate. Atria Books, 2021 ($27) Memoroxin, a personalized pill that replaces memories in people with Alzheimer’s, is being abused as a recreational drug. Disconnected from reality, Lucien and Sophie meet at a “Mem” health recovery center in Los Angeles, where personal psychological traumas, along with foreign memories, can be removed. They feel drawn to each other; have they met before? Like the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Shimmering State explores whether the joys and pains of love can ever be fully erased. Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness. —Jen Schwartz     Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation by Christopher Kemp. W.W. Norton, 2022 ($26.95) Navigation is one of the most complex cognitive tasks humans engage in daily. In this fascinating dive into the brain, neurobiology researcher Christopher Kemp explores how we orient where we’re going, why we lose our way, and what scientists know about how we do both these things. Kemp’s explanations of concepts such as grid cells are clear and engaging, but the book shines brightest in his entertaining descriptions of his own chronic lostness, as well as in surprisingly moving stories about people who have wandered dangerously off route. Some make it home, but others don’t. —Tess Joosse Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals by Martin Stevens. Oxford University Press, 2021 ($25.95) Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans. The book has a narrative and inquisitive style that will show examples of the amazing capabilities they allow, from nocturnal dung beetles that orientate by using the Milky Way to sea turtles that navigate currents by reading the earth’s magnetic fields. Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world. —Jen St.Jude Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Flatiron Books, 2021 ($27.99) Australian writer Charlotte McConaghy (author of Migrations ) delivers a thrilling and touching novel about a woman named Inti Flynn and her team of biologists who reintroduce gray wolves into Scotland’s remote Highlands. At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves. Her story unfolds as a social and scientific meditation on the consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts. —Amy Brady 56．What can we infer from the introduction of The Shimmering State? A．Memoroxin, which cures Alzheimer’s, is a recreational drug. B．Lucien and Sophie feel drawn to each other for foreign memories. C．The book suggests the joys and pains of love should be completely removed. D．Editing consciousness by a technology may bring about some moral problems. 57．It can be learned from the whole passage that__________. A．among the four books, only Dark and Magical Places touches upon the topic of navigation B．the heroine in Once There Were Wolves doesn’t believe the farmer is hurt by wolves C．the highlights of Dark and Magical Places are Kemp’s explanations of some concepts D．McConaghy’s novel merely focuses on the social and scientific impact on the ecosystems 58．If Bob is interested in science and wants to gain more insight into animals’ perception of the world, which of the books should be recommended? A．The Shimmering State B．Dark and Magical Places C．Secret Worlds D．Once There Were Wolves 【答案】56．D 57．B 58．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要以书籍推荐的形式，分别介绍了四本不同类型的书籍，包括科幻小说、神经生物学科普书、动物感官科普书和生态主题小说，简要说明了每本书的作者、出版社、定价及核心内容。 56．推理判断题。根据《The Shimmering State》部分中的“Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness.(这部小说通过人与人之间紧密相连的关系，深入探讨了一种能够记录并编辑人类意识的技术所引发的一些道德困境)”可推断，利用该技术编辑意识可能会带来一些道德层面的问题。故选D。 57．细节理解题。根据《Once There Were Wolves》部分中的“At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves.(起初，这些狼似乎适应得很好，但当一位农夫遭遇意外受伤后，她却怀疑上了自己深爱的男人)”可知，农夫受伤后，女主角并未怀疑是狼造成的，反而怀疑自己爱的人，由此可推断她不相信农夫是被狼所伤。故选B。 58．细节理解题。根据《Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals》部分中的“Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans.(生态学家马丁·史蒂文斯详细记载了动物的感官系统，以及这些系统如何超越人类的感官系统，同时为人类认知现实提供新的视角，也对人类既有的认知提出挑战)”和“Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world.(《神秘世界》一书详细阐述了不同物种如何进化出感知世界的能力)”可知，这两句话明确说明该书围绕动物的感官系统展开，讲解了不同动物感知世界的方式，恰好契合Bob想要了解动物对世界的感知这一需求。故选C。 (B) When my family moved house years ago, I called a junk removal company to throw away our black love seat. In our new place, the old bargain couch had to go. Replacing it was the hard part. For years, I loved a West Elm couch the way you love museum art: respectfully, from a distance. My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down. I spent early years living in homes that were never wholly my own. When my kids were little, I left my husband and moved to a basement. There, again, I could make no decisions over my space. Buying a new couch in a space of my own felt monumental. It wasn’t long after we moved in. But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos. It was not meant for two active teenagers. After six months, the sofa’s middle began to bow. One night, we heard a crack. The split wood scratched my son’s leg and left a mark in the floor. In this couch, I had imagined I would find stability after years of housing challenges. It was evidence that I was a good mother. But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be. I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were? The next day I called the junk removal company. Then I ran to the store and came home with a sofa that we have come to affectionately refer to as the big girl. The big girl violates every design principle I once held dear and has swallowed the living room I had so carefully arranged. The fabric does nothing to elevate our living space. At first, it felt a little bit like a trap: I’d admitted defeat and surrendered the life I wanted to a warehouse couch. But with the big girl at home, something has shifted. Our living room now lives up to its name. I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is. This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity. There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection. People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has. 59．Why did the author buy the black love seat? A．Because she wanted to impress her children with her good taste. B．Because the couch came closest to the ideal couch in her eyes. C．Because she intended to replace a damaged and undesirable couch. D．Because the couch demonstrated financial stability after difficult years. 60．How did the author feel when she decided to throw her first couch (the black love seat)? A．Satisfied with its appeal and comfort. B．Proud of its ability to withstand her children’s activities. C．Frustrated because it fell short of her expectations. D．Angry about its poor quality and impracticality for family life. 61．The author’s decision to buy the second couch (the “big girl”) was primarily driven by ______. A．A change in her aesthetic preferences towards more practical furniture B．A realization that her ambitions for her home weren’t in line with her family’s reality C．The need to replace the broken West Elm sofa immediately D．A desire to create a more formal and elegant living space 62．What does the author mean by saying “There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection”? A．She doesn’t have to worry about damaging expensive furniture. B．She feels freed from the pressure of maintaining a perfect home. C．She finds freedom in the simple design of the new couch. D．She appreciates that the new couch is easy to clean and maintain. 【答案】59．B 60．C 61．B 62．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者先后购买两张沙发的经历与心路转变：从追求理想中精致的沙发，到选择贴合家庭实际生活的实用款沙发，最终领悟到生活不必苛求完美，舒适自在才是真谛。   59．细节理解题。根据第二段中“My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down.(我理想的款式是一种买不起的两件套式躺椅。这是我能得到的最接近的东西。安顿下来一个小时后，我订购了一张黑色的双人座椅。)”可知，作者购买这张黑色双人沙发是因为它最接近她心目中的理想沙发。故选B。 60．推理判断题。根据第四段中“But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos.(但这张我本以为会一直保持精致整洁状态的沙发，却始终一片狼藉。)”以及第5段中“But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be.(但看着凹陷的坐垫，我发现这张沙发突然显得廉价又寒酸——这成了我这个努力却始终达不到自己期望的女人的写照。)”可知，作者决定扔掉第一张沙发时，内心因它没能达到自己的期望而感到沮丧。故选C。 61．推理判断题。根据第六段中“I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were?(我一直在试图强加一个与我的现实生活不匹配的家的版本。破损的沙发迫使我去思考：如果搁置我提供一个充满爱的家的抱负，而是接受我们家庭的现状，会是什么样子？)”可知，作者购买第二张沙发的主要原因是意识到自己对家的理想追求与家庭的现实生活并不相符。故选B。 62．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is.(我不再担心毛发或任何其他乱七八糟的东西。)”和最后一段中“This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity.(这张沙发并非我梦想中的沙发。它既非值得投资的物件，也非彰显品味的宣言。它只是一件生活工具，一个纯粹功能性的存在。)”以及“People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has.(人们不会问他们能不能把脚翘起来。很明显，每个人都已经这么做了。)”可知，新沙发不需要精心维护，家人可以随意使用。这种“无需保护”的特性让她从必须保持家具和家居环境完美的心理压力中解脱出来，感受到了自由。故选B。 (C) How Social Media Is Rewiring Our Reading Habits A decade ago, the typical person’s daily reading consisted of a morning newspaper, perhaps a chapter of a novel before bed, and various work-related documents in between. Today, that same person likely consumes tens of thousands of words per day — but in radically different forms: tweets, captions, notifications, headlines, and endless scrolls of short-form content. We are, by some measures, reading more than ever. But the question increasingly being asked by educators, psychologists, and neuroscientists is whether we are reading differently — and whether that difference matters. The evidence suggests it does. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have used brain imaging to compare the neural activity of people reading a novel versus those scrolling through social media feeds. Deep reading of narrative text activated brain regions associated with language processing, empathy, and complex reasoning. In contrast, skimming through social media primarily engaged areas linked to visual processing and rapid decision-making — the brain’s “scan and switch” mode. Maryanne Wolf, a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA and author of “Reader, Come Home,” argues that the brain’s reading circuits are not fixed but plastic, shaped by the type of reading we practice. “We are training our brains to skim, to bounce from one piece of information to the next without ever diving deep,” she warns. “And the neural pathways for deep reading, if not regularly exercised, begin to weaken — just like an underused muscle.” The consequences extend beyond individual cognition. Long-form reading cultivates patience, the ability to follow complex arguments, and the capacity to inhabit perspectives different from one’s own — all qualities essential to a functioning democratic society. When citizens lose the habit of sustained, critical engagement with text, they may become more susceptible to misinformation and less capable of nuanced political reasoning. The solution, most experts agree, is not to abandon digital media but to cultivate a balanced reading diet. Just as nutritionists recommend a variety of foods for physical health, cognitive scientists increasingly advocate for a mix of reading modes: fast and slow, digital and print, skimming and deep diving. “The goal,” Wolf says, “is to develop a biliterate brain — one that can adapt its reading style to the demands of the task, moving fluidly between the rapid scanning suited to a news feed and the deep immersion required by a complex novel.” Whether our education systems and cultural habits can support this dual literacy remains an open and urgent question. 63．According to the UCLA brain imaging research, deep reading of narrative text primarily activates brain regions associated with ________. A．visual processing and rapid decision-making B．language processing, empathy, and complex reasoning C．motor coordination and physical movement D．short-term memory and pattern recognition 64．Maryanne Wolf compares the neural pathways for deep reading to ________. A．a computer processor that can be upgraded B．a muscle that weakens if not exercised C．a river that changes course over time D．a library that expands with each new book 65．What societal concern does the author raise about declining deep reading habits? A．People may spend more money on digital devices. B．Bookstores and libraries may eventually close down. C．Citizens may become more vulnerable to misinformation. D．Social media companies may gain too much political influence. 66．What does Wolf mean by a “biliterate brain”? A．A brain that can read in two different languages equally well. B．A brain capable of switching between skimming and deep reading as needed. C．A brain that prefers digital text over printed materials. D．A brain that can process information faster than the average reader. 【答案】63．B 64．B 65．C 66．B 【导语】主要介绍社交媒体改变人们阅读习惯，通过研究说明深度阅读与刷社交软件对大脑的不同影响，提出平衡阅读方式的解决办法。 63．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Deep reading of narrative text activated brain regions associated with language processing, empathy, and complex reasoning.(对叙事类文本的深度阅读激活了与语言处理、共情能力及复杂推理相关的大脑区域。)”可知，深度阅读叙事文本主要激活与语言处理、共情、复杂推理相关的大脑区域。 64．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And the neural pathways for deep reading, if not regularly exercised, begin to weaken — just like an underused muscle. (而深度阅读对应的神经通路，若不经常加以运用，便会开始衰退——就像长期缺乏锻炼的肌肉一样。)”可知，玛丽安·沃尔夫将深度阅读的神经通路比作缺乏锻炼就会变弱的肌肉。 65．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When citizens lose the habit of sustained, critical engagement with text, they may become more susceptible to misinformation and less capable of nuanced political reasoning.(当民众丧失持续、批判性研读文本的习惯时，他们会更容易受到虚假信息误导，也更难开展细致缜密的政治思辨。)”可知，深度阅读习惯衰退会让公民更容易被虚假信息误导，这是作者提出的社会层面担忧。 66．细节理解题。根据第五段中的““The goal,” Wolf says, “is to develop a biliterate brain — one that can adapt its reading style to the demands of the task, moving fluidly between the rapid scanning suited to a news feed and the deep immersion required by a complex novel.”(沃尔夫表示：“我们的目标是培养出具备双模读写能力的大脑 —— 这种大脑能够根据阅读任务的需求调整阅读模式，既能流畅切换适配资讯推送的快速浏览，也能完成复杂小说所需的深度沉浸式阅读。”)”可知，“双重读写大脑”指能根据需求在略读和深度阅读之间切换的大脑。 Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Global business:China’s new brand ambassadors Ask a westerner for an example of a successful Chinese consumer goods brand, and until recently most would have struggled. Although China is the world’s premier manufacturing power, it has long lagged behind when it comes to imaginative home-grown retail brands and products. This is now changing. 67 From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric car gliding silently by is increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, a retailer of ice-cream and cold drinks, has dethroned McDonald’s as the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1,300 stores outside China by the end of 2027. And Pop Mart, a Chinese toymaker, has created a buzz worthy of Disney around its strange grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. Fans include Rihanna, a pop star, and Sir David Beckham, a footballer. Western shoppers have bought goods made in China for decades. But these were largely made for, and designed by, foreign firms. More recently, internet retailers such as Shein and Temu have won over customers with cheap, cheerful clothes and consumer goods, while downplaying their Chinese origins. 68 Scandals around food safety and labour standards did not help. New firms are now overturning those old assumptions. Many happily advertise their roots. The logo of Chagee shows a Peking Opera singer in full headdress. “Black Myth: Wukong”, one of the most successful video games ever, features the Monkey King from “Journey to the West”, a 16th century novel. Many brands now compete on quality as well as price. Chagee’s drinks can be as costly as Starbucks. 69 In the past, Chinese firms typically succeeded by learning to replicate Western products cheaply. Now they are accumulating valuable intellectual property of their own. 70 Within China, the premium that foreign brands command simply for being foreign is eroding. In the future they will need to try harder to understand Chinese customers’ particular tastes and do deals with inventive Chinese partners, to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China may eventually push Disney, Mattel and other Western mega-brands to new heights of creativity. Chinese brands’ westward journey, like the Monkey King’s, could bring significant rewards. A．Chinese brands were long seen as poor-quality, unimaginative and unfairly subsidised. B．Western firms have to wake up and smell the bubble tea. C．Pop Mart toys, once dismissed as cheap trinkets, now command premium prices among global collectors. D．Innovative Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. E．Chinese EVs offer dazzling entertainment systems as well as low prices. F．Western companies may try to imitate Chinese brands’ approaches to innovation. 【答案】67．D 68．A 69．E 70．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国本土消费品牌正迎来全球化发展的新趋势，打破了西方对中国品牌的固有印象，在品质、创新和品牌文化上实现突破，同时也给西方品牌带来了竞争与发展的新挑战。 67．本题在第一段段中，根据它前面的句子“This is now changing.(情况如今正在发生改变)”以及后面的句子“From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric car gliding silently by is increasingly likely to be Chinese.

Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. Eventually, I learned to resist the desire to fidget. Today, I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. Let's dig a bit more into the science. Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life, studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. In one study, volunteers were put in a stressful situation, a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (算术) task. Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying “displacement behavior,” such as scratching, biting their lips or touching their face, found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. Feet tapping while sitting, for example, can protect the arteries (动脉) in-legs-and potentially help prevent related diseases. “If you’re sedentary, that’s not good for you. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 71.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 71.【答案】I was told not to fidget in my childhood, but these small movements carry benefits. Defined as restless movement, fidgeting actually reflects our natural urge to move. Fidgeting may relieve stress and promote longevity as simple movement mitigates the diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, we should shift our attitude and recognize its hidden health value in these actions. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说小时候作者被告知不要动来动去，但这些细微的动作其实有益健康。所谓“小动作”，即不安的肢体活动，实际上反映了我们天生的运动欲望。适度的小动作有助于缓解压力，并延长寿命，因为简单的活动可以减轻久坐生活方式带来的各种疾病。因此，我们应该转变观念，认识到这些行为背后隐藏的健康价值。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. ②Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. ③For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. ④Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. ⑤The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 2. 缜密构思：将第1个要点进行综述，将第2、3、4、5四个要点进行分论。 3. 遣词造句： I was told not to fidget in my childhood, but these small movements carry benefits. Defined as restless movement, fidgeting actually reflects our natural urge to move. Fidgeting may relieve stress and promote longevity as simple movement mitigates the diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, we should shift our attitude and recognize its hidden health value in these actions. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Defined as restless movement, fidgeting actually reflects our natural urge to move.

Digitally Preser ving Intangible Cultural Heritage Around the world,traditional crafts,rituals,and oral traditions are disappearing at an alarming rate. According to UNESCO,a language 21 (die)approximately every two weeks,taking with it irreplaceable cultural knowledge.In response to this crisis,a growing number of cultural institutions are turning to digital technology as a means of preservation The process,22 involves using 3D scanning,high-definition video,and virtual reality,allows researchers to create detailed digital records of cultural practices before they vanish.In Japan,for example,master potters 23(record)using motion-capture technology so that future generations can study their exact hand movements.Similarly,in Peru,indigenous communities are working with anthropologists to digitally archive their traditional weaving techniques,24 (ensure)that these skills are not lost forever. What makes these digital archives particularly valuable is 25 they capture not just the physical artifact but the entire cultural context surrounding it.A digital record of a traditional dance,for instance,might include the music,the costumes,the ceremonial significance,and interviews with the performers -something 26 a simple photograph could never achieve. However,the approach is not without controversy.Some cultural groups argue that 27 (digitize) sacred rituals strips them of their spiritual significance and turns living traditions into museum exhibits.There are also practical concerns:once cultural knowledge is stored digitally,28 owns it?These questions, 29 remain largely unresolved,will require careful negotiation between technology companies,governments, and indigenous communities. 试题第3页（共14页） Despite these challenges,digital preservation offers perhaps the best hope for safeguarding the world's O ○ intangible cultural heritage.As one archivist noted,"We cannot save everything,30 we can ensure that future generations at least have a record of what was once practiced and valued."

(C) How Social Media Is Rewiring Our Reading Habits A decade ago,the typical person's daily reading consisted of a moming newspaper,perhaps a chapter of a novel before bed,and various work-related documents in between.Today,that same person likely consumes tens of thousands of words per day but in radically different forms:tweets,captions,notifications,headlines,and endless scrolls of short-form content.We are,by some measures,reading more than ever.But the question increasingly being asked by educators,psychologists,and neuroscientists is whether we are reading differently- and whether that difference matters. The evidence suggests it does.Researchers at the University of California,Los Angeles have used brain imaging to compare the neural activity of people reading a novel versus those scrolling through social media feeds. Deep reading of narrative text activated brain regions associated with language processing,empathy,and complex reasoning.In contrast,skimming through social media primarily engaged areas linked to visual processing and rapid decision-making-the brain's "scan and switch"mode. Maryanne Wolf,a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA and author of "Reader,Come Home,"argues that the brain's reading circuits are not fixed but plastic,shaped by the type of reading we practice."We are training our brains to skim,to bounce from one piece of information to the next without ever diving deep,"she warns."And the neural pathways for deep reading,if not regularly exercised,begin to weaken -just like an underused muscle.” The consequences extend beyond individual cognition.Long-form reading cultivates patience,the ability to follow complex arguments,and the capacity to inhabit perspectives different from one's own -all qualities essential to a functioning democratic society.When citizens lose the habit of sustained,critical engagement with text,they may become more susceptible to misinformation and less capable of nuanced political reasoning. The solution,most experts agree,is not to abandon digital media but to cultivate a balanced reading diet. Just as nutritionists recommend a variety of foods for physical health,cognitive scientists increasingly advocate for a mix of reading modes:fast and slow,digital and print,skimming and deep diving."The goal,"Wolf says, "is to develop a biliterate brain -one that can adapt its reading style to the demands of the task,moving fluidly 试题第10页（共14页） 列学科网·学易金卷做概烧：就限景是鲁普 between the rapid scanning suited to a news feed and the deep immersion required by a complex novel."Whether our education systems and cultural habits can support this dual literacy remains an open and urgent question 63.According to the UCLA brain imaging research,deep reading of narrative text primarily activates brain regions associated with A.visual processing and rapid decision-making B.language processing,empathy,and complex reasoning C.motor coordination and physical movement D.short-term memory and pattern recognition 64.Maryanne Wolf compares the neural pathways for deep reading to A.a computer processor that can be upgraded B.a muscle that weakens if not exercised C.a river that changes course over time D.a library that expands with each new book 65.What societal concern does the author raise about declining deep reading habits? A.People may spend more money on digital devices. B.Bookstores and libraries may eventually close down. C.Citizens may become more vulnerable to misinformation D.Social media companies may gain too much political influence. 66.What does Wolf mean by a "biliterate brain"? A.A brain that can read in two different languages equally well. B.A brain capable of switching between skimming and deep reading as needed. C.A brain that prefers digital text over printed materials. D.A brain that can process information faster than the average reader.

Global business:China's new brand ambassadors Ask a westerner for an example of a successful Chinese consumer goods brand,and until recently most would have struggled.Although China is the world's premier manufacturing power,it has long lagged behind when it comes to imaginative home-grown retail brands and products.This is now changing.67 From Stockholm to Sydney,the electric car gliding silently by is increasingly likely to be Chinese.Mixue,a retailer of 试题第11页（共14页） ice-cream and cold drinks,has dethroned McDonald's as the world's largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. ○ Chagee,a chain of tea shops,is on track to have at least 1,300 stores outside China by the end of 2027.And Pop Mart,a Chinese toymaker,has created a buzz worthy of Disney around its strange grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus.Fans include Rihanna,a pop star,and Sir David Beckham,a footballer. Western shoppers have bought goods made in China for decades.But these were largely made for,and designed by,foreign firms.More recently,internet retailers such as Shein and Temu have won over customers with 年 cheap,cheerful clothes and consumer goods,while downplaying their Chinese origins.68 Scandals around food safety and labour standards did not help 张 New firms are now overturning those old assumptions.Many happily advertise their roots.The logo of Chagee shows a Peking Opera singer in full headdress."Black Myth:Wukong",one of the most successful video games ever,features the Monkey King from "Journey to the West",a 16th century novel.Many brands now 河 compete on quality as well as price.Chagee's drinks can be as costly as Starbucks.69 游 数 In the past,Chinese firms typically succeeded by learning to replicate Western products cheaply.Now they 游 are accumulating valuable intellectual property of their own. 70 Within China,the premium that foreign brands command simply for being foreign is eroding.In the future they will need to try harder to O understand Chinese customers'particular tastes and do deals with inventive Chinese partners,to gain insight and inspiration.Competition from China may eventually push Disney,Mattel and other Western mega-brands to new heights of creativity.Chinese brands'westward journey,like the Monkey King's,could bring significant rewards. A.Chinese brands were long seen as poor-quality,unimaginative and unfairly subsidised. B.Western firms have to wake up and smell the bubble tea. 性 C.Pop Mart toys,once dismissed as cheap trinkets,now command premium prices among global collectors. .: D.Innovative Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. E.Chinese EVs offer dazzling entertainment systems as well as low prices. F.Western companies may try to imitate Chinese brands'approaches to innovation. V.Summary writing (10') Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated.Use your own words as far as possible. As a child,I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair,and fidgeting through story time.Eventually,I learned to resist the desire to fidget.Today,I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle.It turns out,however,that I may have been better-off before. 试题第12页（共14页) .: Let's dig a bit more into the science.Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However,James Levine,a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic,says it is better defined as a neurologically O programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part.In other words,the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life,studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one,fidgeting may help us cope with stress.In one study,volunteers were put in a stressful situation,a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (task.Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying "displacement behavior,"such as scratching,biting their lips or touching their face,found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile,fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary ( lifestyle.Feet tapping while sitting,for example,can protect the arteries (in-legs-and potentially help % prevent related diseases."If you're sedentary,that's not good for you.But if you're sedentary and fidget,it ·: reduces your risk of long-term ill health,says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. .: The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. .: Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention.But if these simple : movements are good for our health,maybe they should be indulged.

I was told not to fidget in my childhood, but these small movements carry benefits. Defined as restless movement, fidgeting actually reflects our natural urge to move. Fidgeting may relieve stress and promote longevity as simple movement mitigates the diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, we should shift our attitude and recognize its hidden health value in these actions. VI.

VII. Guided writing (25’) Dear Editor, I’m Li Hua, a student from Mingqi High School. I was deeply moved by the report about the young person who has taken care of the elderly for ten years. In modern society, helping others is of great importance. It not only warms those in need but also builds a friendly community. When people support each other, we feel less lonely and more connected. I once helped an elderly neighbor carry groceries and fix her broken window. She thanked me warmly and shared stories from her youth. That experience made me realize helping others brings simple joy. Last winter, I got lost in a rainstorm and a stranger lent me an umbrella. Their kindness made me determined to keep helping others. Such small acts can make a big difference. I hope more people will follow the young person’s example and spread kindness.      Yours sincerely,             Li Hua 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2026-2027学年高一上学期期中模拟卷（沪教版） 英语·答题卡 姓 名： 缺考 贴条形码区 准考证号 码 郑 0 0 0 0 0 1 注意事项 2 2 2 2 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚， 3 3 3 3 并认真检查监考员所粘贴的条形码。 4 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂非选择题必须用0.5m 5 5 5 5 黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整： 6 6 6 6 6 6 3.请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出答题区域范 7 7 7 7 > 7 围的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效： 8 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 涂改液、刮纸刀。 0 9 9 9 9 5.正确填涂 选择题（请用2B铅笔填 叔 痴 I.Listening Comprehension (25') (1~10小题，每小题1分；11~20小题， 每小题1.5分) 12 [AIIB]ICI 6 [A][B]IC] [AJ[BJIC] IAIBIICI AlBlIC AlBlICI [AJIBJIC] 3 [A]IB]IC 3 8 ci 45 IAIHC] IAllBlIC 15 !

Digitally Preserving Intangible Cultural Heritage Around the world, traditional crafts, rituals, and oral traditions are disappearing at an alarming rate. According to UNESCO, a language 21 (die) approximately every two weeks, taking with it irreplaceable cultural knowledge. In response to this crisis, a growing number of cultural institutions are turning to digital technology as a means of preservation. The process, 22 involves using 3D scanning, high-definition video, and virtual reality, allows researchers to create detailed digital records of cultural practices before they vanish. In Japan, for example, master potters 23 (record) using motion-capture technology so that future generations can study their exact hand movements. Similarly, in Peru, indigenous communities are working with anthropologists to digitally archive their traditional weaving techniques, 24 (ensure) that these skills are not lost forever. What makes these digital archives particularly valuable is 25 they capture not just the physical artifact but the entire cultural context surrounding it. A digital record of a traditional dance, for instance, might include the music, the costumes, the ceremonial significance, and interviews with the performers — something 26 a simple photograph could never achieve. However, the approach is not without controversy. Some cultural groups argue that 27 (digitize) sacred rituals strips them of their spiritual significance and turns living traditions into museum exhibits. There are also practical concerns: once cultural knowledge is stored digitally, 28 owns it? These questions, 29 remain largely unresolved, will require careful negotiation between technology companies, governments, and indigenous communities. Despite these challenges, digital preservation offers perhaps the best hope for safeguarding the world’s intangible cultural heritage. As one archivist noted, “We cannot save everything, 30 we can ensure that future generations at least have a record of what was once practiced and valued.” Section B（10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．central    B．clarify    C． awkwardly  D．distress     E. consideration    F. retirement  G. cover     H. rigid      I. potentially    J. beneficiaries     K. filling    Fillings for ‘the Sandwich Generation’ There’s a moment in your late forties or fifties when life seems to become complicated. This should be a time when you enjoy the fruits of your earlier labors: an established career, children largely grown up and the loan mostly paid off. On top of this, as future 31 of baby boomer parents, you stand to benefit from a record wave of inheritance. But it’s not so easy, is it? The economic turmoil (混乱) of recent years has hit this age group hard, with many people now in financial 32 , even if others are still doing well. This group belongs to the Sandwich Generation, sitting 33 in the middle of the generational spectrum Clients often come to us to discuss how they can best help at both ends of the spectrum. However, they should not forget that an important 34 is whether they have enough to fund their own retirement? The question is especially important when future investment returns are more uncertain than recent years, and inflation, while declining, is still high. Extending the sandwich analogy(类比), how much 35 can one afford? As regards planning for 36 , there are key factors to think about: the average inflation rate during retirement, the expected future investment returns and our own longevity. All are largely outside our control. Within our control are other critical aspects. First, ensuring we’re invested in a diversified portfolio (组合) with sufficient equity (股票) exposure to 37 a long period of income drawdown. Next, making the most of tax-enhancing wrappers such as pensions and Isas(个人投资账户). Finally, checking we are not overpaying in fees. Knowing how much we need to support our retirement is 38 to understanding whether we can help other family members. No one wants to find they have given away too much and are left struggling. Parents want to be generous to their children in their wills. But we find they are keen to understand what they can provide much sooner. There may also be elderly parents to think of -- most of the help they need may be emotional or practical, such as cooking a meal, or doing basic home repairs, rather than financial. Helping them to invest sensibly and keeping fees low can make a real difference to how long their retirement savings last, 39 covering additional care costs. And if the savings are not exhausted, there will be additional wealth to pass on. We need to tie down these financial uncertainties and   40 what we can do potentially to help family members earlier in their lives. My advice: face up to being the filling and get on with figuring out just what you can put in your sandwich. III. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A（15’） Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

They also more easily(43) __________biological information from one species to another, inferring that baby frogs get bigger just like goldfish do. She also reports that those kids who turned to their pets for emotional support were less (44)__________ than these who didn't. The past ten years have seen some advances, but literature on the topic is still rather (45) _______. A recent paper by researcher Meg Brown at Lakeside University (46)________ some important information to the discussion. She turned to a data-set that includes information from 7, 000 kids, ranging in (47) _________ from thirteen to nineteen years. For the study, both pet owning and other types of (48) _______ activities, like horseback riding, were considered as human-animal interaction experience. She found that adolescents with animal experience were more likely to see themselves as important(49)__________ to their communities, such as doing community service. She also found that the higher the level of(50)________between a teenager and animals, the higher they scored on measurements of emotional connectedness in general. While causality(因果关系)cannot be determined, Brown says that it is at least(51)_________ that children and adolescents can learn about healthy social relationships from their experiences of interacting with animals.“If a connection exists between the skills required for these relationships,then it might be useful to make use of animal relationships as a way to (52)_______ the development of social skills," she says. Brown is aware of the limitations of her study. It can't reach any conclusions about the causal role of animals in kids’ lives, and it's limited to (53) __________ nationwide. Besides, the study was not designed to (54)_________ any potential negative effects of human-animal interaction experiences.Some other studies, for example, have shown that pet owners have higher levels of (55)_______ , like depression, than non-pet owners. 41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) The Shimmering State by Meredith Westgate. Atria Books, 2021 ($27) Memoroxin, a personalized pill that replaces memories in people with Alzheimer’s, is being abused as a recreational drug. Disconnected from reality, Lucien and Sophie meet at a “Mem” health recovery center in Los Angeles, where personal psychological traumas, along with foreign memories, can be removed. They feel drawn to each other; have they met before? Like the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Shimmering State explores whether the joys and pains of love can ever be fully erased. Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness. —Jen Schwartz     Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation by Christopher Kemp. W.W. Norton, 2022 ($26.95) Navigation is one of the most complex cognitive tasks humans engage in daily. In this fascinating dive into the brain, neurobiology researcher Christopher Kemp explores how we orient where we’re going, why we lose our way, and what scientists know about how we do both these things. Kemp’s explanations of concepts such as grid cells are clear and engaging, but the book shines brightest in his entertaining descriptions of his own chronic lostness, as well as in surprisingly moving stories about people who have wandered dangerously off route. Some make it home, but others don’t. —Tess Joosse Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals by Martin Stevens. Oxford University Press, 2021 ($25.95) Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans. The book has a narrative and inquisitive style that will show examples of the amazing capabilities they allow, from nocturnal dung beetles that orientate by using the Milky Way to sea turtles that navigate currents by reading the earth’s magnetic fields. Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world. —Jen St.Jude Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Flatiron Books, 2021 ($27.99) Australian writer Charlotte McConaghy (author of Migrations ) delivers a thrilling and touching novel about a woman named Inti Flynn and her team of biologists who reintroduce gray wolves into Scotland’s remote Highlands. At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves. Her story unfolds as a social and scientific meditation on the consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts. —Amy Brady 56．What can we infer from the introduction of The Shimmering State? A．Memoroxin, which cures Alzheimer’s, is a recreational drug. B．Lucien and Sophie feel drawn to each other for foreign memories. C．The book suggests the joys and pains of love should be completely removed. D．Editing consciousness by a technology may bring about some moral problems. 57．It can be learned from the whole passage that__________. A．among the four books, only Dark and Magical Places touches upon the topic of navigation B．the heroine in Once There Were Wolves doesn’t believe the farmer is hurt by wolves C．the highlights of Dark and Magical Places are Kemp’s explanations of some concepts D．McConaghy’s novel merely focuses on the social and scientific impact on the ecosystems 58．If Bob is interested in science and wants to gain more insight into animals’ perception of the world, which of the books should be recommended? A．The Shimmering State B．Dark and Magical Places C．Secret Worlds D．Once There Were Wolves (B) When my family moved house years ago, I called a junk removal company to throw away our black love seat. In our new place, the old bargain couch had to go. Replacing it was the hard part. For years, I loved a West Elm couch the way you love museum art: respectfully, from a distance. My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down. I spent early years living in homes that were never wholly my own. When my kids were little, I left my husband and moved to a basement. There, again, I could make no decisions over my space. Buying a new couch in a space of my own felt monumental. It wasn’t long after we moved in. But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos. It was not meant for two active teenagers. After six months, the sofa’s middle began to bow. One night, we heard a crack. The split wood scratched my son’s leg and left a mark in the floor. In this couch, I had imagined I would find stability after years of housing challenges. It was evidence that I was a good mother. But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be. I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were? The next day I called the junk removal company. Then I ran to the store and came home with a sofa that we have come to affectionately refer to as the big girl. The big girl violates every design principle I once held dear and has swallowed the living room I had so carefully arranged. The fabric does nothing to elevate our living space. At first, it felt a little bit like a trap: I’d admitted defeat and surrendered the life I wanted to a warehouse couch. But with the big girl at home, something has shifted. Our living room now lives up to its name. I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is. This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity. There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection. People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has. 59．Why did the author buy the black love seat? A．Because she wanted to impress her children with her good taste. B．Because the couch came closest to the ideal couch in her eyes. C．Because she intended to replace a damaged and undesirable couch. D．Because the couch demonstrated financial stability after difficult years. 60．How did the author feel when she decided to throw her first couch (the black love seat)? A．Satisfied with its appeal and comfort. B．Proud of its ability to withstand her children’s activities. C．Frustrated because it fell short of her expectations. D．Angry about its poor quality and impracticality for family life. 61．The author’s decision to buy the second couch (the “big girl”) was primarily driven by ______. A．A change in her aesthetic preferences towards more practical furniture B．A realization that her ambitions for her home weren’t in line with her family’s reality C．The need to replace the broken West Elm sofa immediately D．A desire to create a more formal and elegant living space 62．What does the author mean by saying “There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection”? A．She doesn’t have to worry about damaging expensive furniture. B．She feels freed from the pressure of maintaining a perfect home. C．She finds freedom in the simple design of the new couch. D．She appreciates that the new couch is easy to clean and maintain. (C) How Social Media Is Rewiring Our Reading Habits A decade ago, the typical person’s daily reading consisted of a morning newspaper, perhaps a chapter of a novel before bed, and various work-related documents in between. Today, that same person likely consumes tens of thousands of words per day — but in radically different forms: tweets, captions, notifications, headlines, and endless scrolls of short-form content. We are, by some measures, reading more than ever. But the question increasingly being asked by educators, psychologists, and neuroscientists is whether we are reading differently — and whether that difference matters. The evidence suggests it does. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have used brain imaging to compare the neural activity of people reading a novel versus those scrolling through social media feeds. Deep reading of narrative text activated brain regions associated with language processing, empathy, and complex reasoning. In contrast, skimming through social media primarily engaged areas linked to visual processing and rapid decision-making — the brain’s “scan and switch” mode. Maryanne Wolf, a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA and author of “Reader, Come Home,” argues that the brain’s reading circuits are not fixed but plastic, shaped by the type of reading we practice. “We are training our brains to skim, to bounce from one piece of information to the next without ever diving deep,” she warns. “And the neural pathways for deep reading, if not regularly exercised, begin to weaken — just like an underused muscle.” The consequences extend beyond individual cognition. Long-form reading cultivates patience, the ability to follow complex arguments, and the capacity to inhabit perspectives different from one’s own — all qualities essential to a functioning democratic society. When citizens lose the habit of sustained, critical engagement with text, they may become more susceptible to misinformation and less capable of nuanced political reasoning. The solution, most experts agree, is not to abandon digital media but to cultivate a balanced reading diet. Just as nutritionists recommend a variety of foods for physical health, cognitive scientists increasingly advocate for a mix of reading modes: fast and slow, digital and print, skimming and deep diving. “The goal,” Wolf says, “is to develop a biliterate brain — one that can adapt its reading style to the demands of the task, moving fluidly between the rapid scanning suited to a news feed and the deep immersion required by a complex novel.” Whether our education systems and cultural habits can support this dual literacy remains an open and urgent question. 63．According to the UCLA brain imaging research, deep reading of narrative text primarily activates brain regions associated with ________. A．visual processing and rapid decision-making B．language processing, empathy, and complex reasoning C．motor coordination and physical movement D．short-term memory and pattern recognition 64．Maryanne Wolf compares the neural pathways for deep reading to ________. A．a computer processor that can be upgraded B．a muscle that weakens if not exercised C．a river that changes course over time D．a library that expands with each new book 65．What societal concern does the author raise about declining deep reading habits? A．People may spend more money on digital devices. B．Bookstores and libraries may eventually close down. C．Citizens may become more vulnerable to misinformation. D．Social media companies may gain too much political influence. 66．What does Wolf mean by a “biliterate brain”? A．A brain that can read in two different languages equally well. B．A brain capable of switching between skimming and deep reading as needed. C．A brain that prefers digital text over printed materials. D．A brain that can process information faster than the average reader. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Global business:China’s new brand ambassadors Ask a westerner for an example of a successful Chinese consumer goods brand, and until recently most would have struggled. Although China is the world’s premier manufacturing power, it has long lagged behind when it comes to imaginative home-grown retail brands and products. This is now changing. 67 From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric car gliding silently by is increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, a retailer of ice-cream and cold drinks, has dethroned McDonald’s as the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1,300 stores outside China by the end of 2027. And Pop Mart, a Chinese toymaker, has created a buzz worthy of Disney around its strange grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. Fans include Rihanna, a pop star, and Sir David Beckham, a footballer. Western shoppers have bought goods made in China for decades. But these were largely made for, and designed by, foreign firms. More recently, internet retailers such as Shein and Temu have won over customers with cheap, cheerful clothes and consumer goods, while downplaying their Chinese origins. 68 Scandals around food safety and labour standards did not help. New firms are now overturning those old assumptions. Many happily advertise their roots. The logo of Chagee shows a Peking Opera singer in full headdress. “Black Myth: Wukong”, one of the most successful video games ever, features the Monkey King from “Journey to the West”, a 16th century novel. Many brands now compete on quality as well as price. Chagee’s drinks can be as costly as Starbucks. 69 In the past, Chinese firms typically succeeded by learning to replicate Western products cheaply. Now they are accumulating valuable intellectual property of their own. 70 Within China, the premium that foreign brands command simply for being foreign is eroding. In the future they will need to try harder to understand Chinese customers’ particular tastes and do deals with inventive Chinese partners, to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China may eventually push Disney, Mattel and other Western mega-brands to new heights of creativity. Chinese brands’ westward journey, like the Monkey King’s, could bring significant rewards. A．Chinese brands were long seen as poor-quality, unimaginative and unfairly subsidised. B．Western firms have to wake up and smell the bubble tea. C．Pop Mart toys, once dismissed as cheap trinkets, now command premium prices among global collectors. D．Innovative Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. E．Chinese EVs offer dazzling entertainment systems as well as low prices. F．Western companies may try to imitate Chinese brands’ approaches to innovation. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. Eventually, I learned to resist the desire to fidget. Today, I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. Let's dig a bit more into the science. Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life, studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. In one study, volunteers were put in a stressful situation, a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (算术) task. Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying “displacement behavior,” such as scratching, biting their lips or touching their face, found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. Feet tapping while sitting, for example, can protect the arteries (动脉) in-legs-and potentially help prevent related diseases. “If you’re sedentary, that’s not good for you. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 71.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

Digitally Preserving Intangible Cultural Heritage Around the world, traditional crafts, rituals, and oral traditions are disappearing at an alarming rate. According to UNESCO, a language 21 (die) approximately every two weeks, taking with it irreplaceable cultural knowledge. In response to this crisis, a growing number of cultural institutions are turning to digital technology as a means of preservation. The process, 22 involves using 3D scanning, high-definition video, and virtual reality, allows researchers to create detailed digital records of cultural practices before they vanish. In Japan, for example, master potters 23 (record) using motion-capture technology so that future generations can study their exact hand movements. Similarly, in Peru, indigenous communities are working with anthropologists to digitally archive their traditional weaving techniques, 24 (ensure) that these skills are not lost forever. What makes these digital archives particularly valuable is 25 they capture not just the physical artifact but the entire cultural context surrounding it. A digital record of a traditional dance, for instance, might include the music, the costumes, the ceremonial significance, and interviews with the performers — something 26 a simple photograph could never achieve. However, the approach is not without controversy. Some cultural groups argue that 27 (digitize) sacred rituals strips them of their spiritual significance and turns living traditions into museum exhibits. There are also practical concerns: once cultural knowledge is stored digitally, 28 owns it? These questions, 29 remain largely unresolved, will require careful negotiation between technology companies, governments, and indigenous communities. Despite these challenges, digital preservation offers perhaps the best hope for safeguarding the world’s intangible cultural heritage. As one archivist noted, “We cannot save everything, 30 we can ensure that future generations at least have a record of what was once practiced and valued.” Section B（10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．central    B．clarify    C． awkwardly  D．distress     E. consideration    F. retirement  G. cover     H. rigid      I. potentially    J. beneficiaries     K. filling    Fillings for ‘the Sandwich Generation’ There’s a moment in your late forties or fifties when life seems to become complicated. This should be a time when you enjoy the fruits of your earlier labors: an established career, children largely grown up and the loan mostly paid off. On top of this, as future 31 of baby boomer parents, you stand to benefit from a record wave of inheritance. But it’s not so easy, is it? The economic turmoil (混乱) of recent years has hit this age group hard, with many people now in financial 32 , even if others are still doing well. This group belongs to the Sandwich Generation, sitting 33 in the middle of the generational spectrum Clients often come to us to discuss how they can best help at both ends of the spectrum. However, they should not forget that an important 34 is whether they have enough to fund their own retirement? The question is especially important when future investment returns are more uncertain than recent years, and inflation, while declining, is still high. Extending the sandwich analogy(类比), how much 35 can one afford? As regards planning for 36 , there are key factors to think about: the average inflation rate during retirement, the expected future investment returns and our own longevity. All are largely outside our control. Within our control are other critical aspects. First, ensuring we’re invested in a diversified portfolio (组合) with sufficient equity (股票) exposure to 37 a long period of income drawdown. Next, making the most of tax-enhancing wrappers such as pensions and Isas(个人投资账户). Finally, checking we are not overpaying in fees. Knowing how much we need to support our retirement is 38 to understanding whether we can help other family members. No one wants to find they have given away too much and are left struggling. Parents want to be generous to their children in their wills. But we find they are keen to understand what they can provide much sooner. There may also be elderly parents to think of -- most of the help they need may be emotional or practical, such as cooking a meal, or doing basic home repairs, rather than financial. Helping them to invest sensibly and keeping fees low can make a real difference to how long their retirement savings last, 39 covering additional care costs. And if the savings are not exhausted, there will be additional wealth to pass on. We need to tie down these financial uncertainties and   40 what we can do potentially to help family members earlier in their lives. My advice: face up to being the filling and get on with figuring out just what you can put in your sandwich. III. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A（15’） Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People believe that having pets is overall a good thing for children. But does this belief hold up to (41) __________? The new field of human-animal interaction aims to find out. Ten years ago, when psychologist Joan Smith reviewed the literature on child-animal relationships, she reported that interacting with animals led young children to better understand biology than pet-less children. Kindergartners who had cared for goldfish were more(42) _________ when responding to questions like "does a goldfish have a heart?" They also more easily(43) __________biological information from one species to another, inferring that baby frogs get bigger just like goldfish do. She also reports that those kids who turned to their pets for emotional support were less (44)__________ than these who didn't. The past ten years have seen some advances, but literature on the topic is still rather (45) _______. A recent paper by researcher Meg Brown at Lakeside University (46)________ some important information to the discussion. She turned to a data-set that includes information from 7, 000 kids, ranging in (47) _________ from thirteen to nineteen years. For the study, both pet owning and other types of (48) _______ activities, like horseback riding, were considered as human-animal interaction experience. She found that adolescents with animal experience were more likely to see themselves as important(49)__________ to their communities, such as doing community service. She also found that the higher the level of(50)________between a teenager and animals, the higher they scored on measurements of emotional connectedness in general. While causality(因果关系)cannot be determined, Brown says that it is at least(51)_________ that children and adolescents can learn about healthy social relationships from their experiences of interacting with animals.“If a connection exists between the skills required for these relationships,then it might be useful to make use of animal relationships as a way to (52)_______ the development of social skills," she says. Brown is aware of the limitations of her study. It can't reach any conclusions about the causal role of animals in kids’ lives, and it's limited to (53) __________ nationwide. Besides, the study was not designed to (54)_________ any potential negative effects of human-animal interaction experiences.Some other studies, for example, have shown that pet owners have higher levels of (55)_______ , like depression, than non-pet owners. 41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) The Shimmering State by Meredith Westgate. Atria Books, 2021 ($27) Memoroxin, a personalized pill that replaces memories in people with Alzheimer’s, is being abused as a recreational drug. Disconnected from reality, Lucien and Sophie meet at a “Mem” health recovery center in Los Angeles, where personal psychological traumas, along with foreign memories, can be removed. They feel drawn to each other; have they met before? Like the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Shimmering State explores whether the joys and pains of love can ever be fully erased. Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness. —Jen Schwartz     Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation by Christopher Kemp. W.W. Norton, 2022 ($26.95) Navigation is one of the most complex cognitive tasks humans engage in daily. In this fascinating dive into the brain, neurobiology researcher Christopher Kemp explores how we orient where we’re going, why we lose our way, and what scientists know about how we do both these things. Kemp’s explanations of concepts such as grid cells are clear and engaging, but the book shines brightest in his entertaining descriptions of his own chronic lostness, as well as in surprisingly moving stories about people who have wandered dangerously off route. Some make it home, but others don’t. —Tess Joosse Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals by Martin Stevens. Oxford University Press, 2021 ($25.95) Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans. The book has a narrative and inquisitive style that will show examples of the amazing capabilities they allow, from nocturnal dung beetles that orientate by using the Milky Way to sea turtles that navigate currents by reading the earth’s magnetic fields. Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world. —Jen St.Jude Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Flatiron Books, 2021 ($27.99) Australian writer Charlotte McConaghy (author of Migrations ) delivers a thrilling and touching novel about a woman named Inti Flynn and her team of biologists who reintroduce gray wolves into Scotland’s remote Highlands. At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves. Her story unfolds as a social and scientific meditation on the consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts. —Amy Brady 56．What can we infer from the introduction of The Shimmering State? A．Memoroxin, which cures Alzheimer’s, is a recreational drug. B．Lucien and Sophie feel drawn to each other for foreign memories. C．The book suggests the joys and pains of love should be completely removed. D．Editing consciousness by a technology may bring about some moral problems. 57．It can be learned from the whole passage that__________. A．among the four books, only Dark and Magical Places touches upon the topic of navigation B．the heroine in Once There Were Wolves doesn’t believe the farmer is hurt by wolves C．the highlights of Dark and Magical Places are Kemp’s explanations of some concepts D．McConaghy’s novel merely focuses on the social and scientific impact on the ecosystems 58．If Bob is interested in science and wants to gain more insight into animals’ perception of the world, which of the books should be recommended? A．The Shimmering State B．Dark and Magical Places C．Secret Worlds D．Once There Were Wolves (B) When my family moved house years ago, I called a junk removal company to throw away our black love seat. In our new place, the old bargain couch had to go. Replacing it was the hard part. For years, I loved a West Elm couch the way you love museum art: respectfully, from a distance. My ideal model was an unaffordable two-piece chaise sectional. This felt as close as I could get. I ordered the black love seat an hour after I settled down. I spent early years living in homes that were never wholly my own. When my kids were little, I left my husband and moved to a basement. There, again, I could make no decisions over my space. Buying a new couch in a space of my own felt monumental. It wasn’t long after we moved in. But the couch, which I’d thought would remain in a constant state of artful arrangement, was in a constant state of chaos. It was not meant for two active teenagers. After six months, the sofa’s middle began to bow. One night, we heard a crack. The split wood scratched my son’s leg and left a mark in the floor. In this couch, I had imagined I would find stability after years of housing challenges. It was evidence that I was a good mother. But staring at the sunken cushion, I noticed the sofa suddenly looked cheap and sad — evidence of a try-hard woman who would never live up to the things she aspired to be. I’d been trying to impose a version of home that didn’t match my real life. The broken couch forced a question: What would it look like to shelve my ambitions of providing a loving home and instead meet my family where we were? The next day I called the junk removal company. Then I ran to the store and came home with a sofa that we have come to affectionately refer to as the big girl. The big girl violates every design principle I once held dear and has swallowed the living room I had so carefully arranged. The fabric does nothing to elevate our living space. At first, it felt a little bit like a trap: I’d admitted defeat and surrendered the life I wanted to a warehouse couch. But with the big girl at home, something has shifted. Our living room now lives up to its name. I’m not worried about hair or whatever mess there is. This couch is not the couch of my dreams. It isn’t an investment piece or a statement about my taste. It’s a tool for living, a purely functional entity. There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection. People don’t ask if they can put their feet up. It’s clear everyone already has. 59．Why did the author buy the black love seat? A．Because she wanted to impress her children with her good taste. B．Because the couch came closest to the ideal couch in her eyes. C．Because she intended to replace a damaged and undesirable couch. D．Because the couch demonstrated financial stability after difficult years. 60．How did the author feel when she decided to throw her first couch (the black love seat)? A．Satisfied with its appeal and comfort. B．Proud of its ability to withstand her children’s activities. C．Frustrated because it fell short of her expectations. D．Angry about its poor quality and impracticality for family life. 61．The author’s decision to buy the second couch (the “big girl”) was primarily driven by ______. A．A change in her aesthetic preferences towards more practical furniture B．A realization that her ambitions for her home weren’t in line with her family’s reality C．The need to replace the broken West Elm sofa immediately D．A desire to create a more formal and elegant living space 62．What does the author mean by saying “There is liberation in furniture that needs no protection”? A．She doesn’t have to worry about damaging expensive furniture. B．She feels freed from the pressure of maintaining a perfect home. C．She finds freedom in the simple design of the new couch. D．She appreciates that the new couch is easy to clean and maintain. (C) How Social Media Is Rewiring Our Reading Habits A decade ago, the typical person’s daily reading consisted of a morning newspaper, perhaps a chapter of a novel before bed, and various work-related documents in between. Today, that same person likely consumes tens of thousands of words per day — but in radically different forms: tweets, captions, notifications, headlines, and endless scrolls of short-form content. We are, by some measures, reading more than ever. But the question increasingly being asked by educators, psychologists, and neuroscientists is whether we are reading differently — and whether that difference matters. The evidence suggests it does. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have used brain imaging to compare the neural activity of people reading a novel versus those scrolling through social media feeds. Deep reading of narrative text activated brain regions associated with language processing, empathy, and complex reasoning. In contrast, skimming through social media primarily engaged areas linked to visual processing and rapid decision-making — the brain’s “scan and switch” mode. Maryanne Wolf, a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA and author of “Reader, Come Home,” argues that the brain’s reading circuits are not fixed but plastic, shaped by the type of reading we practice. “We are training our brains to skim, to bounce from one piece of information to the next without ever diving deep,” she warns. “And the neural pathways for deep reading, if not regularly exercised, begin to weaken — just like an underused muscle.” The consequences extend beyond individual cognition. Long-form reading cultivates patience, the ability to follow complex arguments, and the capacity to inhabit perspectives different from one’s own — all qualities essential to a functioning democratic society. When citizens lose the habit of sustained, critical engagement with text, they may become more susceptible to misinformation and less capable of nuanced political reasoning. The solution, most experts agree, is not to abandon digital media but to cultivate a balanced reading diet. Just as nutritionists recommend a variety of foods for physical health, cognitive scientists increasingly advocate for a mix of reading modes: fast and slow, digital and print, skimming and deep diving. “The goal,” Wolf says, “is to develop a biliterate brain — one that can adapt its reading style to the demands of the task, moving fluidly between the rapid scanning suited to a news feed and the deep immersion required by a complex novel.” Whether our education systems and cultural habits can support this dual literacy remains an open and urgent question. 63．According to the UCLA brain imaging research, deep reading of narrative text primarily activates brain regions associated with ________. A．visual processing and rapid decision-making B．language processing, empathy, and complex reasoning C．motor coordination and physical movement D．short-term memory and pattern recognition 64．Maryanne Wolf compares the neural pathways for deep reading to ________. A．a computer processor that can be upgraded B．a muscle that weakens if not exercised C．a river that changes course over time D．a library that expands with each new book 65．What societal concern does the author raise about declining deep reading habits? A．People may spend more money on digital devices. B．Bookstores and libraries may eventually close down. C．Citizens may become more vulnerable to misinformation. D．Social media companies may gain too much political influence. 66．What does Wolf mean by a “biliterate brain”? A．A brain that can read in two different languages equally well. B．A brain capable of switching between skimming and deep reading as needed. C．A brain that prefers digital text over printed materials. D．A brain that can process information faster than the average reader. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Global business:China’s new brand ambassadors Ask a westerner for an example of a successful Chinese consumer goods brand, and until recently most would have struggled. Although China is the world’s premier manufacturing power, it has long lagged behind when it comes to imaginative home-grown retail brands and products. This is now changing. 67 From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric car gliding silently by is increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, a retailer of ice-cream and cold drinks, has dethroned McDonald’s as the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1,300 stores outside China by the end of 2027. And Pop Mart, a Chinese toymaker, has created a buzz worthy of Disney around its strange grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. Fans include Rihanna, a pop star, and Sir David Beckham, a footballer. Western shoppers have bought goods made in China for decades. But these were largely made for, and designed by, foreign firms. More recently, internet retailers such as Shein and Temu have won over customers with cheap, cheerful clothes and consumer goods, while downplaying their Chinese origins. 68 Scandals around food safety and labour standards did not help. New firms are now overturning those old assumptions. Many happily advertise their roots. The logo of Chagee shows a Peking Opera singer in full headdress. “Black Myth: Wukong”, one of the most successful video games ever, features the Monkey King from “Journey to the West”, a 16th century novel. Many brands now compete on quality as well as price. Chagee’s drinks can be as costly as Starbucks. 69 In the past, Chinese firms typically succeeded by learning to replicate Western products cheaply. Now they are accumulating valuable intellectual property of their own. 70 Within China, the premium that foreign brands command simply for being foreign is eroding. In the future they will need to try harder to understand Chinese customers’ particular tastes and do deals with inventive Chinese partners, to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China may eventually push Disney, Mattel and other Western mega-brands to new heights of creativity. Chinese brands’ westward journey, like the Monkey King’s, could bring significant rewards. A．Chinese brands were long seen as poor-quality, unimaginative and unfairly subsidised. B．Western firms have to wake up and smell the bubble tea. C．Pop Mart toys, once dismissed as cheap trinkets, now command premium prices among global collectors. D．Innovative Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. E．Chinese EVs offer dazzling entertainment systems as well as low prices. F．Western companies may try to imitate Chinese brands’ approaches to innovation. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. Eventually, I learned to resist the desire to fidget. Today, I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. Let's dig a bit more into the science. Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life, studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. In one study, volunteers were put in a stressful situation, a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (算术) task. Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying “displacement behavior,” such as scratching, biting their lips or touching their face, found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. Feet tapping while sitting, for example, can protect the arteries (动脉) in-legs-and potentially help prevent related diseases. “If you’re sedentary, that’s not good for you. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 71.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.
