46. Dear Chris,
I’m glad to know that you are interested in Chinese calligraphy. I would like to recommend the character “Yong” as a good starting point for beginners.
Structurally, this character is well-balanced and contains a variety of basic strokes, including dots, lines and turns. Practising it can help learners master fundamental writing skills and develop a sense of structure.
More importantly, “Yong” means “eternity”, symbolizing continuity and lasting beauty. It reflects the Chinese belief in harmony and balance, making the writing exercise a cultural experience.
I hope you will enjoy practising it.
Yours,
Li Hua
47. One possible version:
Following the voice, Johnny saw Cal holding tight to a branch, face pale. His eyes swept the scene — the tree, the rope, the current. His mind raced, forming a plan. He tied one end to the trunk, swung the rope over the low branch, and dropped it exactly beside Cal’s shoulder. “Pull it under your arms!” he yelled. Cal fumbled for the rope, caught it, and secured it under his arms. Johnny planted his feet against a rock, leaned back with his full weight, and pulled. The rope bit into his palms, but he kept pulling, feeling the current yield inch by inch.
Once within reach, Johnny rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and dragged him ashore. He wrapped his coat around Cal. His eldest daughter ran up with a towel. Cal coughed, tears mixing with water. “My family…” he murmured weakly. Johnny gripped his arm firmly and said, “Stay awake for them.” Minutes later, the alarm bell echoed. Off the ambulance came medical workers. They gave Cal a quick check. Just as they helped him into the ambulance, he turned to Johnny, voice weak but clear. “I can’t thank you enough. You saved my life.” Johnny gave a soft, firm nod. “Glad you’re okay. Go home to your family. That’s all that matters.”

Picture this: Becky entered a restaurant, waving at the friends already seated. She tripped over a chair on her way to join them, only just catching herself before hitting the floor. What would you do if you were Becky? Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s Goksel and his colleagues note that rather than just express your embarrassment or ignore the obvious, being able to laugh at yourself after committing a faux pas (失礼之举) should be your choice.
All of this is fine if no one actually does get hurt (other than yourself). If Becky tipped over a wine glass on the table top, ruining the white dress of the woman seated at the table, it would be not so funny anymore. This problem can be translated into more academic terms: theories of affective deviance (情感偏差), which argue that reputation is negatively affected when one’s emotional expression mismatches their actions.
To test out the factors that influence the best response to a bad situation, researchers conducted a series of six experiments involving just over 3200 people. They asked participants to imagine attending a dinner party at a friend’s house and chatting with the friend’s cousin. Each participant imagined scenarios (场景) in which they would admit a mistake to this stranger, including falling on a public street, missing one’s mother’s birthday, asking a woman who was not pregnant when her due date was and so on.
Taking all the findings together, the authors constructed a model with character judgments of the offender as the final outcome. In this model, the display of amusement or embarrassment plus amount of harm predicted perceived emotional miscalibration (情绪失衡) and perceived embarrassment which, in turn, predicted how the actor was regarded by observers. The findings of this study showed that amusement won out over embarrassment as long as the outcome caused little harm.
Laughter works because you also project a more authentic version of yourself to others than if you show embarrassment. Becky’s ability to laugh at the restaurant incident would not only ease the tension, but also show that she doesn’t fear looking awkward.
4. Why is Becky’s experience mentioned?
A. To describe a common occurrence. B. To joke about her clumsy behavior.
C. To introduce the topic naturally. D. To lead to a popular wisdom.
5. What is the function of paragraph 2?
A. Challenging a view. B. Illustrating a theory. C. Sharing an experience. D. Raising an alert.
6. Which is a suitable case to joke about awkward behavior?
A. Being late for a job interview. B. Mistaking a lady for being pregnant.
C. Dirtying others’ clothes unintentionally. D. Slipping accidentally in an empty street.
7. What do the findings of the study imply?
A. Self-teasing softens harmless awkwardness.
B. Laughter is the best pass to amusement.
C. Minor errors might cause great harm.
D. Embarrassment displays sincerity.
Can music help you concentrate at work? Researchers from the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff conducted a new study, and it has some interesting results.
The research examined the ability of 25 people, aged 18 to 30, to remember information while listening to various sounds. In one task they had to remember a list of eight consonant (辅音) letters, which were dictated to them.
Participants in the study were tested under three different conditions: in a quiet environment, while listening to music they liked, and while listening to music they didn’t like. The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. The background music seemed to make memorization and recall more difficult. However, scientists also found that listening to music before doing the tests seemed to help concentration.
“Despite describing their self-selected music as more pleasant, their performance was poor, just as it was when they listened to music they disliked,” explained one of the researchers. So, even if you’re listening to music you like, it’ll still interfere with your work.
This would appear to contradict the findings of scientists who have researched what is popularly known as the “Mozart Effect”. This concept was invented by French scientist Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis in 1991. Tomatis published a book, Why Mozart?, which described what he believed were the healing powers of listening to Mozart’s music.
He also suggested that Mozart’s music could aid brain development. Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ. The governor of the state of Georgia even once advocated allocating over $ 100,000 annually to supply classical CDs to every newborn in the state.
Another study seemed to further contradict the idea that music could help with concentration. The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence. Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are distracting.
So, if you’re studying for an exam, turn off your music!
8. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To prove that Mozart’s music boosts IQ.
B. To recommend the best music for studying.
C. To compare different types of background sounds.
D. To indicate that silence is better for concentration than music.
9. What can be inferred about the “Mozart Effect”?
A. It only works for children under 18.
B. It was first discovered by a governor.
C. It may have been overestimated by the public.
D. It has been proven to enhance adult intelligence.
10. The underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. disturbing B. favorable C. remarkable D. discouraging
11. What does the author imply about background music?
A. It best aids creative work.
B. Its effects are inconsistent across studies.
C. It enhances performance in concentration tasks.
D. It affects people differently based on preference.
In the Alps and Apennines of southern Europe, longhorn beetles are moving uphill, and a rare brown butterfly with orange-tipped wings is facing extinction due to isolation (隔离) at high peaks. This is a picture of a global trend. With temperatures rising and pressure on biodiversity growing, insects vital to our ecosystems are not only moving north and south, but up.
Research shows many animals are making similar moves, but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year, with some species making significantly greater journeys. All of this shows the speed of climate change and its ecological impacts at higher altitudes (海拔).
In ecology, finding the “smoking gun” to neatly explain any phenomenon is generally difficult. Prof. Christy McCain, who runs Colorado University’s Mountain Lab, said: “One thing that people don’t think about as much is context: how climate affects insects at different life stages, such as eggs and larvae (幼虫). Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change, especially in cold and dry mountain environments.”
McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding, with too many museum specimens (标本) from low altitudes, and far fewer from higher up. And many groups other than butterflies and moths (蛾) have been neglected.
To support her view, she cites research on carrion beetles by a student in her lab. The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these impacts, which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions. Their long history since the Cretaceous (白垩纪) also aids their adaptation today.
There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change. For some groups, it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are, the better their chances. There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove a saving grace.
12.Bumblebees in the Pyrenees are mentioned because ______.
A.they are more mobile than other insects
B.they have adapted well to higher altitudes
C.they are a useful indicator of climate change
D.they face extinction due to upward movement
13.Which statement may McCain agree with according to paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Study context is beyond grasp. B. Research data are hard to obtain.
C. Insect samples are unrepresentative. D. Collection method is unconventional.
14. Why does McCain cite research on carrion beetles?
A. To argue for their sensitivity to environmental changes.
B. To call for the protection of insects from higher altitudes.
C. To redirect focus from insects moving uphill to those downhill.
D. To offer new insights into insects’ adaptation to climate change.
15. What does “a saving grace” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A method used to collect data.
B. A problem that needs to be solved.
C. A feature that helps improve a situation.
D. A type of insect that adapts well to change.
Why do some people seem able to build strong connections with others, while others find their conversations quickly fall into silence or misunderstanding? 16 However, true communication is not simply the exchange of words.
A conversation often fails not because people cannot talk, but because they are not truly listening. Although two people may appear to discuss the same subject, they may actually have different purposes. One may hope to find a solution, while the other may simply need emotional support. 17
So what makes communication successful? 18 Effective communicators do not just hear words; instead, they pay attention to the emotions and ideas behind them. By asking meaningful questions and showing genuine interest, they encourage others to share more openly. In addition, small signals, including changes in voice, facial expressions, or pauses, can provide valuable information about what people truly feel. These clues deserve close observation, yet they frequently slip by unnoticed in casual chats.
19 Sharing personal thoughts and feelings in an appropriate way can help build trust, because people are more likely to open up when they feel respected and understood. However, effective communication does not mean saying everything but means finding a balance between honesty and consideration.
Ultimately, becoming a good communicator is not about winning debates or finding perfect words. 20 With patience and sincere attention, communication can become a bridge that connects hearts, strengthens relationships, and helps us build a more connected world.
A. One essential skill is learning to listen actively.
B. Such details should be ignored during ordinary conversations.
C. It depends mainly on having enough knowledge and experience.
D. It is about making people feel heard, respected, and understood.
E. Another important part of communication is the ability to express oneself honestly.
F. Many believe good communication consists of clear delivery and powerful idea expression.
G. When the difference is ignored, even well-intended words create distance instead of connection.

In recent years, the number of Chinese students studying abroad has reached record highs. While studying overseas offers exposure to different cultures and academic resources, it also comes with challenges such as language barriers and cultural shock. A survey 36 (conduct) in 2025 found that nearly 40% of Chinese students abroad reported experiencing mental health issues. To address this, universities have started offering online counseling services, 37 allow students to seek help discreetly.
Experts suggest that students should prepare 38 (mental) before departure by learning about local customs and building support networks. It is also crucial to strike a balance between academic pressure and social life. A study 39 (show) that students who join clubs or sports teams tend to adapt 40 (quick). “Making local friends can greatly reduce the feeling of isolation,” notes Dr. Li, a psychology professor at Beijing Normal University.
In response to this issue, the Chinese Ministry of Education has launched a 24-hour helpline for students 41 (study) abroad. The service offers psychological support and legal advice. “We want to ensure that every student knows they are not alone,” said a spokesperson. This initiative, combined with school efforts, 42 (hope) to create a safer environment for international students.
As one student put 43 , “Living abroad is like planting a tree in a new soil. It takes time 44 (grow) roots, but eventually you bloom.” With the right support, the overseas experience can be 45 (incredible) rewarding.

47.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One late March morning, Cal, a store worker, planned a fishing trip to the Elk River. Strong rain had caused the river to fill up, its current becoming fast and powerful. He forgot to bring the parts to keep his 10-foot kayak (皮艇) balanced, but thought it would be fine.
Tall and heavy, Cal eased into the boat, started the motor, and headed across. Midway, rough waves overturned the kayak. One moment he was upright; the next, he was in the icy water, struggling to breathe.
His life belt rode up around his throat, choking him. Heavy boots dragged him down. The fast current swept him farther from the boat, and there was no way to reach the bank. Just then, he spotted a thick branch hanging low over the water from a partially underwater tree. Reaching out with all his might, he grabbed it. The tree was firmly rooted — solid and steady, holding him against the current. Numb (麻木的) fingers found the whistle (口哨) on his fishing coat. He blew it with his last strength, praying someone would hear. The icy water was numbing his fingers, and his legs had given out. All he could think of was his wife Maria and their daughter Della.
That morning, Johnny, a former soldier and lifeguard, had driven to the river with his four kids. He often kept a thick rope in his car trunk for outdoor activities. He parked on the bank nearby. As he stepped out, sharp whistles cut through the air. Running toward the sound, he shouted, “Hello? Are you okay?” A weak, trembling voice came back: “Not… good.” A warning bell went off in his mind — someone was in trouble. He sprinted (冲刺) to his car, grabbed the thick rope, and ran toward the voice.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Following the voice, Johnny saw Cal holding tight to the branch, face pale. ____________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Once within reach, Johnny rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and dragged him ashore. _________________
