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.
Finnish architect observes city's shifting rhythms
Almost every day,Finnish architect Jarmo Suominen rides his bike through Shanghai-not
toward a destination,but into the city's rhythm.He carries no map.Beneath clotheslines and tangled
wires,he stops to observe and sketch.For Suominen,a professor at Tongji University,curiosity fuels
both his work and life.His students call him Sou Sou,meaning "search"-a nickname
reflects his constant exploration.
His bike rides are a form of engagement-a way to witness 22 people and places
interact."In Shanghai,you never know what you'll find,"he told Shanghai Daily."You turn down
an alley (and suddenly you're in a hidden garden behind a dead-end.People create these
little worlds.It's amazing."
He values Shanghai's"sensitive renewal,"a process 23(drive)as much by residents as
by goverment departments."The street is4life happens,"he said."The goverment might
renovate facades ()but inside,people make small,gradual upgrades.It's not about replacing
everything,but about letting people shape their future."
One of his favorite examples is a car repair shop near his home."Every night,it transforms
into a nightclub talks,performances and movie screenings.It wasn't designed to be one-
it just became one.”
For Suominen,the street is a canvas,always evolving with the people inhabiting it.A man
playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores 26(become),through
his eyes,a sign of constant transformation."The soul of a place,"he said,"isn't in the architecture.
It's in the life around 27.the feeling that you're welcome,you're a stranger."
Suominen has filled more than 20 sketchbooks with these scenes,each 29(reveal)tho
dynamic interplay between people and space."In older neighborhoods,you see lives spilling into
the streets-something unique to China,especially Shanghai,"he added."In Finland,where the
cold keeps people inside,you30hardly observe people's values and habits in the same way."
Section B (10%)Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each
word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.
A addressiug
B.boundanes
C generative D.initially E remove F.approved
G.aboriginally H.released
I.sample
J.overtake
K.traffic
The exploration of vast space,the manipulation of genes for medical treatment,the growth of
green technology,the advancement of Al...Science and technology know no31.What
wonders await in 202
Space"32."this year will be no less busy than in 2024,with global space agencies
pursuing ambitious goals.China launched its first mission of the year on Jan 7 with a Long March
3B rocket.The country's 2025 plan also includes Shenzhou manned missions and Tianzhou cargo
missions to the Tiangong space station,along with the Tianwen-2 mission to
a
near-Earth asteroid.The US plans to conduct several lunar missions with companies like Intuitive
Machines,and SpaceX's Starship hopes to complete 25 test flights throughout the year.Additionally,
a collaboration between China and the European Union will sce the launch of the SMILE satellite
to study the intcraction between solar wind and Earth's magnetic field,enhancing our understanding
of the Sun-Earth relationship.
Genome editing,or gene editing,will continue to inspire enthusiasm in 2025.It comprises a
group oftechnologies that allow scientists to add,
or alter genetic materials at particular
locations on the long stretches of DNA of living beings,including humans.In this way,certain
diseases,like cancer and diabetes,can be treated by their root causes rather than relying
on medication or surgery.One of the most popular tools is CRISPR,"genetic scissors"that won
Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna the Nobel Prize in 2020.The first CRISPR treatment,
Casgevy,was 36 in the UK and the US in 2023 for two blood disorders.Over 30 CRISPR
trials were ongoing worldwide by October 2024,and more are expected this year.
Last year was the hottest on record,highlighting the significance of green technoiogy in 2025
One key green technology is carbon capture and storage(CCS),which involves separating CO:from
other gases at emission sources before they are
into the atmosphere,and transporting
the COa to an underground location to be stored.CCS projects are now storing about 45 million tons
of COz yearly,roughly equal to the emissions of 10 million cars.In 2025,Norway will complete
Europe's first full-scale CCS project,and the UK will invest around 160 billion yuan in similar
projects.The growth of clean energy continues,with wind and solar power expected to38_
coal in electricity generation.Tech giants like Google and Microsoft are also turning to nuclear
energy to power their AI data centers.
Generative AI like ChatGPT brought major changes in 2024.In 2025,Al agents that can sense
and make decisions independently will be a top technology trend,predicts the US firm Gartner.By
2028,these AI agents will likely be handling 15 percent of day-to-day work decisions,said the firm.
Unlike 30Al,which creates content based on prompts,agentic AI is proactive and solves
complex problems on its own.Al agents 40 will handle routine tasks like filling reports.
Eventually,they will manage systems independently.For example,an app-based agent can plan
your vacation by booking flights,hotels and restaurants,remembering your preferences.
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.
Taylor works full-time in the cleaning department while co-parenting his 10-year-old son.
Ada,a cancer survivor,was enduring the miserable treatment.Mohammad was kicked out of prep
school,thenfor 100 days from high school for selling chocolate to his classmates.Emanuel
was 42...a three-year sentence for armed robbery.
Tnese are not the profiles of students who get admitted to a classic university-run honors
college.43 they are enrolled at the Honors Living-Learning Community of Rutgers University-
Newark,an institution where they and others with similarly
life stories are pushing the
boundaries of what defines an honors college by emphasizing courage in overcoming life's
difficulties,rather than 45
Across the United States,the continuous drive for reputation has generated the 4 in the
number of honors colleges.Nearly 900 schools,almost all being public universities and community
colleges belong to the National Collegiate Honors Council.Among them,it is usually a brilliant
idea for an institution to 4 applicants whose top-of-the-class high-school records and SAT
scores would assure a renowned private university.The bait (is the honors college,which
promises the intimate feel of a small college within a(n)state school.The students in these
honors colleges,,mostly white and middle-class,,receive concierge treatment(礼宾待遇)with
considerable scholarships,separate housing,special seminars,faculty mentors,research
opportunities and first crack at courses in high demand.
However,things are at the Honors Living-Learning Community,which mainly enrolls
black and Latino students-nearly twice as many as the total of black and Latino undergraduates in
the rest of Rutgers-Newark's programs.Their high-school grades and SAT scores are lower than the
campus average.While academic skill in determining who gets selected,the emphasis is on
these students'perseverance,their drive to learn and their passion for social justice.
Every 51.of the honors program comes straight from the book on how to engage
undergraduates,and minority students in particular The students receive scholarships that
cover their living expenses well as tuition.Without this 53,most coutdn't enroll full-time,and
evidence shows that part-time students are far less likely to graduate.A 34number of community
college graduates are admitted,which gives 18-year-olds,fresh out of high school,an opportunity
to learn from peers with more life 55.

I'm a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests,rough coastline,and
beaches decorated with wood,but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite
of what I come for-being alone-as huge orowds try hard to park and take photos.So,my last
visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September.I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of
forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe.
I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great
outdoors was unpleasant at first.However,once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the
Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that
looked like colorful umbrellas,I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for
the first time in a long time.What I want to say is that just because the world secms obviously set
up for twosomes doesn't mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams
right now.Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible.It has opened
up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and again.
When it comes to living conditions,the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across
its huge area,it's also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone
inside a tent-the small national park houses.Although I enjoy being alone,I have to admit that
one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection
among strangers,and as such,there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas
where guests can move around and make small talks at night.In one small house called Lake
Quinault,I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel
workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room(so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt,the president
during 1933-1945,came to visit),rightnext door.
59.What made the author avoid tisiting Olympic National Park in summer?
A.The wish to stay close to communites.
B.The likelihood to meet crowds of people.
C.The quiet environment in an ancient forest.
D.The rough coastlines and the woody beaches.
60.According to paragraph 2,the author thinks that traveling alove can
7
keep opening up her worldview
B.slow her down in living her dreams
C.stop her leaving her comfortable zone D.give her a chance to stay in hotel rooms
b1.What can we leam from the last paragraph?
A.Seniors in Lake Quinault are the best forest walkers.there.
B.The park offers five completely different places to stay in.
C.Big fireplaces in houses are meant to strengthen connection.
D.The author stayed in a house next door to a famous president.
62.The passage is mainly about
A.the author's love for the Pacific Northwest
B.the author's solo trip to Olympic National Park
C.the greatest tourist attractions in Olympic National Park
D.the brief comparison between group travel and solo ones
(C)
Life places us in a complex web of relationships with other people.Our humanness arises out
of these relationships in the course of social interaction.Moreover,our humanness must be sustained
through social interaction-and fairly constantly so.When an association continues long enough
for two people to become linked together by a relatively stable set of expectations,it is called a
relationship.
Icople are bound within relationships by two types of bonds:expressive ties and instrumental
ties.Expressive ties are social links formed when we emotionally invest ourselves in and commit
ourselves to other people.Through association with people who are meaningful to us,we achieve a
sense of security,love,acceptance,companionship,and personal worth.Instrumental ties are social
links formed when we cooperate with other people to achieve some goal.Occasionally,this may
mean working with instead of against competitors.More often,we simply cooperate with others to
reach some end without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.
Sociologists have built on the distinction between expressive and instrumental ties to
distinguish between two types of groups:primary and secondary.A primary group involves two or
more people who enjoy a direct,intimate,cohesive relationship with one another.Expressive ties
predominate in primary groups;we view the people as ends in themselves and valuable in their own
right.A secondary group entails two or more people who are involved in an impersonal relationship
and have come together for a specific,practical purpose.Instrumental ties predominate in secondary
groups;we perceive people as means to ends rather than as ends in their own right.Sometimes
primary group relationships evolve out of secondary group relationships.This happens in many
work settings.People on the job often develop close relationships with coworkers as they come to
share gripes,jokes,gossip,and satisfactions.
(3.According to paragraph 1,which of the following is true of a relationship?
A.It is a structure of associations with many people.
B.It should be studied in the course of a social interaction.
C.It places great demands on people.
D.It develops gradually over time.
64.Which of the following can be inferred about instrumental ties from the author's mention of
working with competitors in paragraph 2?
A.Instrumental ties can develop even in situations in which people would normally not
cooperate.
6
B.Instrumental ties require as much cmotional investment as expressive ties.
C.Instrumental ties involve scourity,love,and acceptance.
D.Instrumental ties should be expected to-be significant.
65.According to paragraph 3,what do sociologists see as the main difference between primary
and secondary groups?
A.Primary groups consist of people working together while secondary groups exist outside of
work settings.
B.In primary groups people are seen as means while in secondary groups people are scen as
ends.
C.Primary groups involve personal relationships while secondary groups are mainly practical
in purpose.
D.Primary groups are generally small while secondary groups often contain more than two
people.
66.Which of the following can be inferred from the author's claim in paragraph 3 that primary
group relationships sometimes evolve out of secondary group relationships?
A Secondary group relationships begin by being primary group relationships.
B.A secondary group relationship that is highly visible quickly becomes a primary group
relationship.
C.Sociologists believe that only primary group relationships are important to society.
D.Even in secondary groups,frequent communication serves to bring people into close
relationships.
Section C(8')Directions:Read the following passage.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.
A.Researchers have found that the success of a future mission to the red planet may depend on
the ship having a class clown.
B He found thattclass clowns in the crew would not mind being joked ahout.
C.In an emergency,there will be no time to call mission contro.
D When you are living with others in a very small space for a long period of time,tensions are
likely to prow.
His role was informal.yet critical for maintaining group cohesion in the extreme
environment,
F.It is enough to make Neil Armstrong,the first astronaut to walk on the Moon,spin in his
grave.
Class Clowns Please
WANTED:smart,,fit and unflappable(临危不乱的)applicants for humanity's first mission to
Mars.Must have:crazy wig,oversized boots and a big red nose.
NASA plans to fly astronauts around the moon as part of its preparation for a crewed mission
to Mars as early as 2033.A mission to Mars is no easy job.On average,the red planet is 140 million
miles from Earth and the travel time one way is around eight months.The distance alone is expected
to cause harm to their mental health.Astronauts must also face a time delay in communications of
up to 20 minutes each way.6The crew are effectively on their own.
Jeffery Johnson,an anthropologist at the University of Florida,is now working with NASA to
explore whether class clowns are vital for the success of long space missions.Early results suggest
they are."68"said Johnson."It's vital that you have somebody who can help everyone
get along,so that they can do their jobs and get there and back safely.It's mission-critical."
Johnson spent four years studying overwintering crews in Antarctica.69One isolated
9
salmon fisherman he observed endured a mock funeral and burial in the tundra.However,nobody
ignored his important role in building bridges between rescarchers and contractors.
Historically,the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen also appreciated the importance of the
expedition clown.In 1910,he picked the large,cheerful chef Adolf Lindstrom for his attempt to
reach the South Pole,knowing that Lindstrom's joie de vivre(生话的乐趣)would relieve the stress
of homesickness and the long polar nights."He has offered greater and more valuable services to
the Norwegian polar expedition than any other man,"Amundsen noted in his diary.
Lindstrom was a great entertainer who helped keep up spirits and morale over the long winter.
But there is more to it than making people laugh.Being funny won't be enough for
someone to land the job,after all.
IV.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.
Cosmetic Surgeries Get Extreme
Everyone goes through it:poking at the eye bags and the loose skin in the mirror.It's part of
the human condition to fear ageing,but among the 20 and 30 something,there seems to be a
heightened anxiety around growing older,coupled with an increasingly casual attitude towards
getting Botox(肉毒素,用于除皱)compared with previous generations..In2022,27%ofUS
patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger,compared with 21%in 2015,according to the
American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery.The idea is to stop wrinkles before they start.
So why are we so desperate to pretend we're not growing older?For my generation,being
perpetually online and scrolling through the lives of others must be a factor.It keeps us locked into
a constant state of comparison.And in a time of economic uncertainty,millennials and gen Z are
also unable to tick off traditional checkpoints of adulthood,so the idea that many alter their
appearance to tumn back the clock makes perfect sense to me.For women,our looks are aesthetic
capital after all-and being beautiful can unlock social and professional success.
But these treatments often don't come with warnings;it's up to the consumer to research
potential pitfalls(陷阱).Botched(粗制滥造的)cosmetic procedures among young people are on
the rise,with too many treatments taking place in unregulated beauty salons and carried out by
unqualified practitioners.Last month,three women in the US contracted HIV from a cosmetic
procedures intended for the skin,when an unlicensed New Mexico medical clinic reused needles
that should have been disposed of,which caused understandable alarm worldwide.
One friend who loves Botox said to me recently:"I can't stay 28 for ever,but the aim is to
look 28 forever."I'm trying to reject the message that it's wrong for women to look their true age.
It can be hard to tune out the noise,but the alternative may mean a future damaged by self-doubt,
expensive treatments or even regret.I think I'll stick with the eye bags.
