B The year after I graduated from college, my days followed a familiar pattern. Each day, I woke up on my sister’s sofa and opened my computer to a colored job hunt sheet: Yellow meant waiting to hear back. Red meant “rejected”, usually sent in the form of a polite email. Green meant “accepted”. Nevertheless, that color was elusive. I knew I wasn’t alone in the endless stream of “we regret to inform you” messages flooding my email inbox, but it sure felt like it. When I told this feeling to my friend Andi — someone I’ve long admired for her achievements — she expressed that she felt the same and added, “Behind each success you see from others are a lot of rejections, too.” The idea has stuck with me ever since. Now, every time I see a job announcement on social media, I imagine the even longer shadow of rejections behind it. There’s a reason the rejection hurts so bad — and sticks around with us for so long. This strong emotional reaction may have arisen as a result of a need to be accepted by other humans and to identify threats to our sense of social belonging, Mark Richard Leary, a professor of psychology, wrote in an article about interpersonal rejection. In fact, a brain study showed that social rejection causes activity in the brain similar to physical pain. Despite the natural tendency (倾向) to avoid these unpleasant feelings, there’s been a movement in recent years to accept rejection. Social media users have increasingly posted their rejections in an attempt to normalize it. Psychotherapist Elayne Savage, who has written two books about the subject, said she often used this approach with people to help them feel less alone in their experiences. “What’s so hurtful about feeling rejected is feeling so alone,” Savage said. “So I try to help people realize it really is universal.” 24. What does the underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Rare. B. Bright. C. Unique. D. Complicated. 25. Why does the rejection often hurt so much? A. It puts social belonging at risk. B. It causes physical pain in the brain. C. It threatens interpersonal relationships. D. It leads to a lack of emotional reaction. 26. What might be Savage’s attitude to the movement in recent years? A. Opposed. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Rewards: For the Rejected B. A Rejection Can Be a Redirection C. Rejection: Part of Life’s Journey D. Every Rejection Leads to Perfection C In the remote mountainous villages of southwest China, a quiet revolution (变革) is taking place: ancient intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is being reborn through digital technology. For decades, many traditional crafts such as bamboo weaving, embroidery and paper cutting have faced the risk of extinction, as young people leave their hometowns for cities and modern lifestyles replace old customs. What makes this revival possible is not only the support of local governments but also the creative combination of tradition and innovation. Young designers and volunteers have stepped in, using 3D modeling to record delicate craft patterns, live-streaming to showcase the making process to national audiences, and turning traditional patterns into fashionable daily products like phone cases, backpacks and decorative paintings. These modernized products sell well online, bringing economic benefits to the elderly craftspeople who have kept the skills alive for decades. Digital museums have also played a key role. Unlike traditional museums with limited space and fixed exhibits, digital ICH museums online allow visitors to focus on tiny details, watch interactive videos and even try simple operations virtually. Schools in nearby towns have begun to set up ICH experience courses based on these digital resources, helping teenagers understand the beauty of traditional culture and cultivate (培养) a sense of cultural pride. However, challenges still exist. Some elderly craftspeople find it difficult to adapt to digital tools, and the protection of intellectual property rights of traditional crafts needs to be strengthened. Experts suggest that more professional training should be provided for craftspeople and that a complete legal system should be built to create a healthy environment for the development of digitalized ICH. As technology continues to develop, the gap between tradition and modernity is gradually narrowing. The digital rebirth of intangible cultural heritage is more than a commercial success; it is a way to pass down the wisdom and beauty of Chinese civilization to future generations. 28. Why are many traditional crafts facing the danger of disappearing? A. They are thought less suitable for modern daily life. B. They receive little attention from local governments. C. Digital tools are too complex for most craft workers. D. Fewer young people stay in rural areas to carry them on. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why modernized products are popular online. B. Where elderly craftspeople promote their works. C. How digital means help revive traditional crafts. D. How designers carry out research on 3D technology. 30. What advantages do digital ICH museums have over traditional ones? A. They charge visitors less money. B. They have larger exhibition spaces. C. They attract more foreign tourists. D. They offer more interactive experiences. 31. What can be inferred from the text? A. Traditional crafts will replace modern products. B. More measures remain to be taken for ICH’s development. C. Teenagers become the major buyers of ICH-related products. D. Digital technology has removed challenges for ICH protection. D “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” by psychologist Angela Duckworth is a groundbreaking exploration of the qualities that set high achievers apart. Published in 2016, this influential book challenges the traditional belief that talent and intelligence are the only predictors of success, emphasizing the role of passion and perseverance in achieving greatness. At the heart of “Grit” lies the concept of grit itself — a combination of passion and perseverance that drives individuals to overcome challenges and achieve long-term goals. Duckworth draws from her extensive research and personal experiences to show the transformative (转换的) power of this essential quality. Duckworth’s research on grit began when she was a teacher. She noticed that some students with exceptional talent and intelligence were not necessarily good in the long run. This observation pushed her to look deeper into the factors that determine success. Through her research, she found that grit was a better predictor of success than IQ or talent. One of the most powerful aspects of “Grit” is the idea that grit can be cultivated over time. Duckworth shares stories of individuals who discovered their passion and learned to persevere, transforming themselves into high achievers. She emphasizes that grit is not fixed, and individuals have the power to develop it through practice. Throughout the book, Duckworth presents interesting stories and research findings to show the impact of grit in various contexts. From top athletes and musicians to successful businessmen and students, she demonstrates that grit is a universal factor that fuel (推动) achievement. Duckworth’s writing style is engaging, well-researched, and understandable to readers from all walks of life. Her ability to combine scientific findings with great storytelling makes “Grit” a worthy read. In conclusion, this book is not just about developing talent; it is about developing the qualities that enable individuals to rise above challenges, accept failure, and persevere on the way to their dreams. “Grit” serves as a guiding light, inspiring readers to use the power of passion and perseverance to lead a life of purpose and extraordinary achievement. 32. How did Duckworth’s teaching experience affect her? A. It led her to question the standards of success. B. It made her realize the importance of IQ or talent. C. It inspired her to explore the real factors of success. D. It pushed her to persevere with her long-term goals. 33. What does Duckworth stress about grit? A. It is a long-ignored concept. B. It can be developed gradually. C. It varies from person to person. D. It is highly related to intelligence. 34. How does Duckworth make her book readable? A. By offering useful advice to readers. B. By presenting research along with stories. C. By including comments from famous persons. D. By interviewing people from all walks of life. 35. What does the author think of Duckworth’s book? A. Insightful and inspiring. B. Practical and persuasive. C. Informative and imaginative. D. Humorous and heartwarming. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever looked around your living area and workspace and wondered how things piled up so quickly? 36 It starts with a few papers, some books, files, and clothes. Before you know it, you’re buried under a mountain of things. In fact, there are easy ways to tackle the mess. Fewer Choices Equal Less Stress Research suggests that the mess is related to stress and sleep issues. Letting go of unwanted items can reduce stress by simply reducing choices. Think about your closet. If you’re not regularly clearing out unworn items, you will end up with too many choices. 37 If you’ve not worn them for long, donate them to your favorite charity. Clear Your Desk and Your Mind Your desk is where you do heavy brain work, and there’s nothing more inhibiting (抑制作用的) to productivity than disorganized stuff. Cleaning your desk daily can help prevent the chaos (混乱) from building up. Try taking all papers and files off your desk every morning and putting them in a pile on the floor. 38 Is it something you need to act on? Or is it something that can be thrown away? Once you have those items cleared, your mind will be fresh and ready for a day’s work. 39 Research suggests that organizing your living area may improve your personal relationships. The more things pile up, the more complaints you may have toward your family members. A good way to maintain harmony at home is to have each member contribute to keeping spaces clean. That way, everyone feels included in the effort to make life happier at home. When considering your personal organizing plan, think of how bringing order into your life may help you live happier and healthier. 40 A. It’s easy to do. B. Create a happier home. C. Avoid family complaints. D. Start small and soon you’ll see results. E. Then go through each item one at a time. F. Tidying up saves time spent searching for things. G.

On Saturday night, the artist and many other comedians performed Xiangsheng, or crosstalk comedy, with both jokes about life stories and traditional crosstalk pieces. “Laughter is infectious and that is what makes the art form of crosstalk comedy powerful. Hearing the audience’s laughter and applause has made me realise the enduring vitality (活力) of our traditional art,” the artist said, 58 (conclude) that such performances can introduce traditional Chinese culture to a broader audience. “I remembered 59 (see) crosstalk shows online when I started learning Chinese five years ago.

It’s not that I didn’t practice. I started to practice maths questions as soon as I heard about our exams. However, I got fed up with them — all these numbers, mathematical equations (方程式) and symbols made things difficult for me. I used to spend three hours doing only a few mathematical questions. I started attempting the question correctly, got stuck in a step of the solution, and switched to and fro between the book and my solution, only to find I had been doing it all wrong. Then I had to start all over again. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t seem to get anything right on the first attempt. Apparently, my mom didn’t blame (责备) me, but she demanded that I solve a full maths exercise from the textbook daily and show it to her. Similarly, an hour flew by and I was still stuck on the second question. Then my brother Hamza came in and asked me to go to the supermarket with him, which was a 15-minute walk from our home. “I saw you doing the questions. I know you were troubled by it, but you don’t have to lose your passion because of a tiny problem. Solving questions only isn’t going to help you. You need to dig into the topic when you study, not just read it. Ask yourself, ‘Do I understand this particular statement? Can I apply it to questions on my own?’ If you don’t understand, you can always ask your teacher,” he explained, trying to encourage me. “But what should I do to carry on when I’m constantly making mistakes?” I asked. Hamza smiled warmly and suggested I reward myself when I achieved small victories. His words made me feel determined. “Sure. I will try that,” I said excitedly. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右。 （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 So the next time I opened the textbook, I carefully read every line of the page. Although I didn’t get full marks in my class test days later, I scored much better than I usually did. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
