Dear teacher, Could you please say more about the meaning of “appeal?” Thank you. Let’s look at the many ways we can use the word “appeal”. As a verb, “appeal” means making a request, often in official situations. Generally, we do not use “appeal” for everyday requests. For example, we would not say: I appeal to you to get some milk at the store. Appealing We can change the meaning of “appeal” by making it an adjective. One way to do this is to use the -ing ending. Consider the following examples: Her dress looks really appealing. That argument is appealing to many voters. Used as a noun “appeal” describes a formal or urgent request, for example: The employees made an appeal to reduce the number of hours of work. As a noun, “appeal” also describes a quality that creates interest, sympathy, or attraction. Here are some examples: The museum’s design has a lot of appeal. The appeal of that music is its simplicity. Using“appeal”in the law “Appeal” is also often used in legal matters — both as a noun or a verb. As a noun, it means a formal request to a court to review a decision by another court. If one court accepts the other's request, we can say the court “granted” the appeal. If the court rejects, we can say the court “denied” it. The following example shows “appeal” being used as a verb in legal English: The defense team will likely appeal the decision. An adjective form of “appeal” is also used in the legal system. The adjective “appellate” describes a kind of court that deals with cases that have been appealed. 1. Which content is NOT mentioned about “appeal”? A. Its initial source and history. B. Its different parts of speech. C. Its extensions and special uses. D. Its meanings and specific contexts. 2. How does the author develop the text? A. By making contrast. B. By giving examples. C. By citing references. D. By providing a definition. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. An English-English dictionary. B. A guidebook on English grammar. C. An English textbook on writing. D. A draft of an English lecture broadcast. B I studied graphic design at university, and after graduating, landed a job a few towns over. My commute (通勤) involved a train, a bus, and a walk down a country lane in my high-vis jacket. Like many, I had that classic thought: I don’t want to be doing this for the rest of my life. So I decided I’d write a book, convinced it would be my ticket out of the 9-to-5 routine. So, like many first attempts, I was immersed in a novel that was rubbish. And as the cliche (陈词滥调) goes, life happened and writing slipped to the dustbin. A few years later, searching for my purpose and longing for a better work-life balance, I began training as a tutor. Around the edges of that, I tried writing, including Amy Sparkes’ Picture Book Course during lockdown. However, disaster struck when I realized my draft was essentially a nonsense that had been done before. I felt ready to give up. And then I asked myself: What story can I tell that’s completely unique to me? Something no one else can write? And that’s how my first novel, Officially Losing It, was born. My agent and I were very excited about that. Later, we received so much encouraging feedback on my voice, but editors struggled to figure out exactly where the book would sit on the shelf. So we didn’t sell. As they say, that book died on sub. But my lovely agent didn’t give up. She reached out to an editor who’d previously loved my writing and voice and said, “Are you absolutely sure you don’t want to publish this? Because Becca is great.” The editor — the wonderfully amazing Amy Mae Baxter — said, “Afraid not, but I do have an IP project I think Becca would be perfect for. Would she like to audition?” So, I did. I knew in my heart I wanted to write this book. Clearly that passion shone through. Later, I got the job! There was still plenty of space to make the book entirely my own, and Amy and I were so creative that it was a total joy from start to finish. So is this the end of the story? OF COURSE NOT! Onwards I roll, still full of optimism, brimming with ideas, and one step closer to that desperately dreamed of ideal life! 4. What was the key factor that led to the birth of the author’s first novel? A. The technical skills from Picture Book Course. B. The encouragement from editors about her draft. C. The intervention from agent in finding a publisher. D. The moment of self-reflection about her unique story. 5. What does the underlined part “died on sub” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. The book caused the author to feel depressed. B. The book failed to get accepted after being submitted. C. The book contained a storyline about a character’s death. D. The book was only published in an underground manner. 6. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of formal education in writing. B. The journey of career pursuit of a creative dream. C. The challenges of the traditional publishing industry. D. The experience of securing a writing job through an audition. 7. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Ambitious and cautious. B. Optimistic and determined. C. Confident and considerate. D. Humorous and independent. C A new study out of King’s College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date. It was conducted by the researchers from the university, who got half of the participants, including 50 volunteers, aged 18 to 40, to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London. The control group, on the other hand, looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment. All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity, which shows that art attracts the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group. “Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems, from heart disease to anxiety and depression,” explained Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s senior author. “The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body.” Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact. “This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you. What’s particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive — they can be experienced by anyone,” said Jenny Waldman, the director of Art Fund. “We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery, and discover just how good art can make you feel.” 8. What does the new study focus on? A. Differences between artistic styles. B. Participants’ preferences for artists. C. Effects of art on various environments. D. Participants’ physical reactions to art. 9. What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A. It mainly improves creative thinking. B. It changes participants’ health indicators. C. It demands a certain art appreciation level. D. It has the greatest impact on mental health. 10. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in the last paragraph mean? A. Surprising. B. Predictable. C. Universal. D. Continuous. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Museum Trips Bring Immediate Benefits. B. Copying Masterpieces Lowers Stress. C. London Leads World Gallery Tours. D. Sensors Reveal Visitors’ Secrets. D Cooking is a unique cultural phenomenon at the core of human creative efforts. Recipes, flavour, nutrition, and health form the pieces of the food puzzle. In the last decade, computer-based food science has developed as a powerful data science aided by structured collections of cooking databases, field-specific algorithms (算法), and applications. For instance, RecipeDB, a structured collection of recipes from global cuisines and underlying algorithms that can identify culinary (烹饪的) elements, is ripe for exploration. This organized database can help estimate the nutritional value of dishes, among other things. Similarly, FlavorDB represents the taste and smell correlates (相关的事物) of food ingredients, recording the reasons behind their use in cooking. Data from studies on the health effects of food and estimated carbon footprints of recipes highlight important health and environmental impacts, crucial for public health and sustainability. Attempts have been made to develop recipe generation algorithms via text generation and LLMs, like Ratatouille, powered by 118,000 global structured recipes and advanced named entity (实体) recognition. Yet it is harder to evaluate computer-generated recipes than LLM-written poetry, paintings or music. The “Turing Test for Chefs” has experts rate recipes — both traditional and AI-generated — on a scale from 0 (AI-made) to 5 (human-made). Delhi hotel management final-year students tested Ratatouille, with LLM models achieving 69.88% F1-score success. The algorithm behind it provided detailed instructions on ingredients and quantities, pre-processing steps, cooking steps, and the appropriate cookers and methods. Novel recipe-generation strategies have the potential to create tasty and nutritious dishes with public health consequences. When combined with appropriate data, these can also generate personalised, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable recipes. However, taste will remain a crucial factor in the acceptance of AI-generated recipes. Therefore, the skill and creativity of chefs will be essential to make sense of the output of AI. More and more cooking-related data is available now, and cooking involves complex senses. AI will help boost people’s creativity, but it can never take people’s place. 12. What do RecipeDB and FlavorDB have in common? A. They focus on health effects. B. They teach cooking methods. C. They clarify the cooking logic. D. They analyse food interactions. 13. What do we know about Ratatouille? A. It resolved taste-related issues. B. It offered standardized operations. C. It skipped pre-processing steps. D. It outperformed professional chefs. 14. Why is AI unlikely to replace chefs? A. It lacks consideration of taste. B. It misses enough culinary data. C. It creates dishes without novelty. D. It misinterprets customers’ needs. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Judges of AI Recipes B. Keys to Tasty Dishes C. “Rulers” of the Cooking Area D. A New “Cook” in Our Kitchen 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ambivalence (矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being “on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” ___16___ Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? ___17___ When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.” A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. ___18___ You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time. From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. ___19___ The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. ___20___ By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence. A. And the opposite of that is also true. B. It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. C. Thus, we’ll feel highly motivated to make the change. D. Think about a kind of behavior you’ve been hesitant to change. E. It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. F. Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. G. Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My son Kimran started playing soccer at nine.

My commute (通勤) involved a train, a bus, and a walk down a country lane in my high-vis jacket. Like many, I had that classic thought: I don’t want to be doing this for the rest of my life. So I decided I’d write a book, convinced it would be my ticket out of the 9-to-5 routine. So, like many first attempts, I was immersed in a novel that was rubbish. And as the cliche (陈词滥调) goes, life happened and writing slipped to the dustbin. A few years later, searching for my purpose and longing for a better work-life balance, I began training as a tutor. Around the edges of that, I tried writing, including Amy Sparkes’ Picture Book Course during lockdown. However, disaster struck when I realized my draft was essentially a nonsense that had been done before. I felt ready to give up. And then I asked myself: What story can I tell that’s completely unique to me? Something no one else can write? And that’s how my first novel, Officially Losing It, was born. My agent and I were very excited about that. Later, we received so much encouraging feedback on my voice, but editors struggled to figure out exactly where the book would sit on the shelf. So we didn’t sell. As they say, that book died on sub. But my lovely agent didn’t give up. She reached out to an editor who’d previously loved my writing and voice and said, “Are you absolutely sure you don’t want to publish this? Because Becca is great.” The editor — the wonderfully amazing Amy Mae Baxter — said, “Afraid not, but I do have an IP project I think Becca would be perfect for. Would she like to audition?” So, I did. I knew in my heart I wanted to write this book. Clearly that passion shone through. Later, I got the job! There was still plenty of space to make the book entirely my own, and Amy and I were so creative that it was a total joy from start to finish. So is this the end of the story? OF COURSE NOT! Onwards I roll, still full of optimism, brimming with ideas, and one step closer to that desperately dreamed of ideal life! 4. What was the key factor that led to the birth of the author’s first novel? A. The technical skills from Picture Book Course. B. The encouragement from editors about her draft. C. The intervention from agent in finding a publisher. D. The moment of self-reflection about her unique story. 5. What does the underlined part “died on sub” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. The book caused the author to feel depressed. B. The book failed to get accepted after being submitted. C. The book contained a storyline about a character’s death. D. The book was only published in an underground manner. 6. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of formal education in writing. B. The journey of career pursuit of a creative dream. C. The challenges of the traditional publishing industry. D. The experience of securing a writing job through an audition. 7. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Ambitious and cautious. B. Optimistic and determined. C. Confident and considerate. D. Humorous and independent. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者早年从事普通工作，立志写书却屡遭失败。她反思自我创作独特作品，投稿遇挫后不放弃，最终抓住机会实现写作梦想，始终乐观前行。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“And then I asked myself: What story can I tell that’s completely unique to me? Something no one else can write? And that’s how my first novel, Officially Losing It, was born. My agent and I were very excited about that.(然后我问自己：我能讲述一个怎样的故事，这个故事完全是我独有的，是别人无法创作出来的呢？就这样，我的第一部小说《正式失控》应运而生了。我的经纪人和我都对此感到非常兴奋)”可知，促使作者创作出其第一部小说的关键因素是对自己独特经历的自我反思时刻。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Later, we received so much encouraging feedback on my voice, but editors struggled to figure out exactly where the book would sit on the shelf. So we didn’t sell.(后来，我们收到了很多关于我写作风格的积极反馈，但编辑们却难以确定这本书究竟该放在书架的哪个位置。所以这本书没有卖出)”可知，前文编辑无法定位书籍类目、没能成功售出作品，指代投稿失败。故划线词意思是“这本书在提交后未能获得出版许可”。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章讲述了作者早年从事普通工作，立志写书却屡遭失败。她反思自我创作独特作品，投稿遇挫后不放弃，最终抓住机会实现写作梦想，始终乐观前行。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是一段追求创意梦想的职业探索之旅。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So is this the end of the story? OF COURSE NOT! Onwards I roll, still full of optimism, brimming with ideas, and one step closer to that desperately dreamed of ideal life!(那么，这就是故事的结局吗？当然不是！我将继续前行，依然满怀乐观，满脑子都是想法，离那个梦寐以求的理想生活又近了一步！)”可知，作者乐观且坚定。 C A new study out of King’s College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date. It was conducted by the researchers from the university, who got half of the participants, including 50 volunteers, aged 18 to 40, to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London. The control group, on the other hand, looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment. All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity, which shows that art attracts the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group. “Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems, from heart disease to anxiety and depression,” explained Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s senior author. “The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body.” Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact. “This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you. What’s particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive — they can be experienced by anyone,” said Jenny Waldman, the director of Art Fund. “We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery, and discover just how good art can make you feel.” 8. What does the new study focus on? A. Differences between artistic styles. B. Participants’ preferences for artists. C. Effects of art on various environments. D. Participants’ physical reactions to art. 9. What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A. It mainly improves creative thinking. B. It changes participants’ health indicators. C. It demands a certain art appreciation level. D. It has the greatest impact on mental health. 10. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in the last paragraph mean? A. Surprising. B. Predictable. C. Universal. D. Continuous. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Museum Trips Bring Immediate Benefits. B. Copying Masterpieces Lowers Stress. C. London Leads World Gallery Tours. D. Sensors Reveal Visitors’ Secrets. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了伦敦国王学院的一项新研究发现，观赏原创艺术作品能够带来即时的生理益处，如降低压力激素和促炎蛋白水平。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing.(在20分钟的艺术观赏过程中，所有参与者的心率变异性和皮肤温度都用传感器进行了测量，并且在观赏前后还采集了唾液样本)”可知，这项新研究关注的是参与者对艺术的生理反应。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group.(研究人员发现，画廊组参与者体内的一种关键压力激素——皮质醇水平平均下降了22%，而对照组仅为8%)”以及“Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group.(另一个关键发现是，对于在画廊观看艺术作品的人来说，促炎蛋白IL-6和TNF-alpha也分别下降了30%和28%，而对照组没有观察到变化)”可知，观赏原创艺术改变了参与者的健康指标。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“they can be experienced by anyone(任何人都可以体验到)”可知，任何人都可以体验到这些益处，即这些益处是普遍存在的，故画线词意思是“普遍的”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact.(其他先前的研究已经将定期参观画廊与长期健康联系起来，但这项研究是第一个“捕捉到实时生理益处”的研究，显示了即时的积极影响)”结合文章主要说明了伦敦国王学院的一项新研究发现，观赏原创艺术作品能够带来即时的生理益处，如降低压力激素和促炎蛋白水平。可知，A选项“参观博物馆能带来立竿见影的好处”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Cooking is a unique cultural phenomenon at the core of human creative efforts. Recipes, flavour, nutrition, and health form the pieces of the food puzzle. In the last decade, computer-based food science has developed as a powerful data science aided by structured collections of cooking databases, field-specific algorithms (算法), and applications. For instance, RecipeDB, a structured collection of recipes from global cuisines and underlying algorithms that can identify culinary (烹饪的) elements, is ripe for exploration. This organized database can help estimate the nutritional value of dishes, among other things. Similarly, FlavorDB represents the taste and smell correlates (相关的事物) of food ingredients, recording the reasons behind their use in cooking. Data from studies on the health effects of food and estimated carbon footprints of recipes highlight important health and environmental impacts, crucial for public health and sustainability. Attempts have been made to develop recipe generation algorithms via text generation and LLMs, like Ratatouille, powered by 118,000 global structured recipes and advanced named entity (实体) recognition. Yet it is harder to evaluate computer-generated recipes than LLM-written poetry, paintings or music. The “Turing Test for Chefs” has experts rate recipes — both traditional and AI-generated — on a scale from 0 (AI-made) to 5 (human-made). Delhi hotel management final-year students tested Ratatouille, with LLM models achieving 69.88% F1-score success. The algorithm behind it provided detailed instructions on ingredients and quantities, pre-processing steps, cooking steps, and the appropriate cookers and methods. Novel recipe-generation strategies have the potential to create tasty and nutritious dishes with public health consequences. When combined with appropriate data, these can also generate personalised, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable recipes. However, taste will remain a crucial factor in the acceptance of AI-generated recipes. Therefore, the skill and creativity of chefs will be essential to make sense of the output of AI. More and more cooking-related data is available now, and cooking involves complex senses. AI will help boost people’s creativity, but it can never take people’s place. 12. What do RecipeDB and FlavorDB have in common? A. They focus on health effects. B. They teach cooking methods. C. They clarify the cooking logic. D. They analyse food interactions. 13. What do we know about Ratatouille? A. It resolved taste-related issues. B. It offered standardized operations. C. It skipped pre-processing steps. D. It outperformed professional chefs. 14. Why is AI unlikely to replace chefs? A. It lacks consideration of taste. B. It misses enough culinary data. C. It creates dishes without novelty. D. It misinterprets customers’ needs. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Judges of AI Recipes B. Keys to Tasty Dishes C. “Rulers” of the Cooking Area D. A New “Cook” in Our Kitchen 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是AI食谱技术的发展、优势，同时指出它的局限，说明AI不能取代人类厨师. 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For instance, RecipeDB, a structured collection of recipes from global cuisines and underlying algorithms that can identify culinary (烹饪的) elements, is ripe for exploration. This organized database can help estimate the nutritional value of dishes, among other things. Similarly, FlavorDB represents the taste and smell correlates (相关的事物) of food ingredients, recording the reasons behind their use in cooking.(例如，食谱数据库（RecipeDB）汇集了世界各地菜系的结构化食谱，底层算法能够识别各类烹饪要素，拥有广阔的研究探索空间。这套结构化数据库除其他用途外，还可用于估算菜品的营养价值。与之类似，风味数据库（FlavorDB）呈现各类食材的味觉与嗅觉相关事物，记录食材用于烹饪背后的原理。)”可知，RecipeDB和Flavor DB的共同点是都阐明了烹饪逻辑。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The algorithm behind it provided detailed instructions on ingredients and quantities, pre-processing steps, cooking steps, and the appropriate cookers and methods.(其底层算法能够输出详尽信息，涵盖食材与用量、预处理工序、烹饪步骤以及适配的厨具和烹饪方式。)”可知，Ratatouille提供了标准化的操作流程。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, taste will remain a crucial factor in the acceptance of AI-generated recipes.(不过，口味依旧是人工智能生成食谱能否被大众接受的关键因素。)”可知，人工智能不太可能取代厨师是因为它缺乏对味道的考量。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In the last decade, computer-based food science has developed as a powerful data science aided by structured collections of cooking databases, field-specific algorithms (算法), and applications.(过去十年间，依托结构化烹饪数据库、专用算法以及各类应用程序，计算机食品科学发展成为一门实力强劲的数据科学。)”和最后一段“More and more cooking-related data is available now, and cooking involves complex senses. AI will help boost people’s creativity, but it can never take people’s place.(如今，越来越多与烹饪相关的数据可供使用，而烹饪涉及复杂的感官体验。人工智能将有助于激发人们的创造力，但永远无法取代人类的角色。)”可知，本文主要讲的是AI食谱技术的发展、优势，同时指出它的局限，说明 AI 不能取代人类厨师，因此最恰当的标题是D选项“A New “Cook” in Our Kitchen(我们厨房里的新“厨师”)”。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ambivalence (矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being “on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” ___16___ Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? ___17___ When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.” A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. ___18___ You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time. From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. ___19___ The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. ___20___ By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence. A. And the opposite of that is also true. B. It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. C. Thus, we’ll feel highly motivated to make the change. D. Think about a kind of behavior you’ve been hesitant to change. E. It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. F. Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. G. Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. E 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人们在面对改变时常见的矛盾心理(ambivalence)，分析了误解这一心理可能带来的问题，并介绍了动机性访谈这一方法，强调理解矛盾心理的根源有助于更有效地应对改变。 【16题详解】 上文“For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” (例如，你一定说过，“我应该开始锻炼，但很难抽出时间。”)”举例说明了矛盾心理的具体表现——想做某事却又觉得有困难。F选项“Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. (在行为改变方面，这种内心的摇摆是常见的)”承接上文，用“Such internal swinging”指代上文举例的“想锻炼却嫌没时间”这种矛盾心态，指出其普遍性。下文“Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? (然而，我们有多常把矛盾心理视为某种干涉者，一条通往更好生活道路上不受欢迎、意想不到的障碍呢？)”则以反问语气指出人们常将这种普遍存在的矛盾心理看作需要排除的障碍，引出下文要讨论的话题。故选F项。 【17题详解】 下文“When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.” (当我们对不确定性缺乏理解时，我们有效解决它的能力就会受限。此外，如果没有清楚理解背后的原因，我们就有可能使用有害的标签，这些标签可能很便利却不准确地解释了我们或他人不作为的原因。 “我肯定是懒。” “她没有自律能力。”)”阐述了误解矛盾心理会带来的后果——无法有效解决、贴有害标签。B选项“It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. (如果我们误解矛盾心理，就会有问题)”作为本段首句，用“problematic”概括了下文所描述的种种问题，起到总领全段的作用。下文内容则具体阐释了“problematic”的表现——能力受限、使用有害标签，形成“观点—具体阐述”的逻辑关系。故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. (一个有助于我们更好理解犹豫不决根源的观点，来自一种名为动机性访谈的基于研究的治疗方法)”介绍了动机性访谈这一方法。E选项“It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. (它已被成功应用于许多行为改变的案例中)”承接上文，用“It”指代上文的“motivational interviewing”，补充说明了该方法的应用成果——在行为改变案例中成功应用。下文“You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time. (你也可以通过这种方法产生影响，无论你是决定少吃垃圾食品、减肥，还是减少屏幕时间)”则在此基础上鼓励读者将其应用于自身生活，符合逻辑。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文“From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. (从动机性访谈的角度来看，矛盾心理的根源与改变的重要性和信心程度有关。如果我们不强烈感到改变是重要的，或者我们缺乏采取必要步骤的信心，那么我们很可能会在前进中动摇)”阐述了矛盾心理的根源——缺乏重要性认知或缺乏信心会导致动摇。A选项“And the opposite of that is also true. (相反的情况也同样成立)”承接上文，指出如果对改变既感到重要又有信心，则不会动摇，从而与上文形成正反两方面的完整论述。故选A项。 【20题详解】 上文“The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. (面对改变时矛盾心理的普遍存在是人类生活中常见的。这对我们如此，对他人也是如此，包括我们的家人、朋友，以及我们在职业生活中遇到和服务的人)”指出矛盾心理在人际间的普遍性。G选项“Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. (承认这一事实对于克服有害的判断和标签至关重要)”承接上文，用“this fact”指代上文的“矛盾心理普遍存在”这一事实，指出承认这一事实的重要性——有助于克服第二段提到的“有害标签”。下文“By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence. (通过这样做，我们可以更清晰地看到并巧妙地解决矛盾心理的根源)”则进一步说明承认事实所带来的积极结果，符合逻辑。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My son Kimran started playing soccer at nine.

Last year, I hiked along the ancient Silk Road in Xinjiang. Standing before a weathered beacon tower in the Gobi Desert, I sensed the loneliness of ancient guards. Running my fingers over the rough bricks, I felt centuries of dust come alive. Later, I was offered warm flatbread by a hospitable local Uyghur family. That far journey didn’t just open my eyes; it opened my heart to lives and stories no books could capture. That is the true reward of traveling far. Possible version 2: Travel Far, Know More The proverb “A person who travels far knows more” suggests stepping out of our comfort zone exposes us to realities beyond books. I learned this truth in a remote village, planting rice alongside locals. We worked for hours in the muddy fields, until my back ached and my legs were covered with mosquito bites. I came to help, but left knowing the cost of every grain and the warmth of strangers. I learned traveling far isn’t about distance, but about stepping into others’ life and reflecting on ours. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生根据谚语“A person who travels far knows more”写一篇英文短文，为学校英语报举办的以“读名言，悟成长”为主题的征文活动投稿。 【详解】以范文1为例： 1. 词汇积累 揭示：reveal→ uncover 古老的：ancient → time-honored 感觉倒：sense → perceive 开阔视野：open my eyes→ expand/broaden my horizons 2. 句式拓展 句型转换 原句：That far journey didn’t just open my eyes; it opened my heart to lives and stories no books could capture.  拓展句：Not only did that far journey open my eyes, but it also opened my heart to lives and stories no books could capture.  【点睛】【高分句型1】Running my fingers over the rough bricks, I felt centuries of dust come alive. （运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】That far journey didn’t just open my eyes; it opened my heart to lives and stories no books could capture.（运用了省略关系代词that/which的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
