It was the first time that she ______ a film shooting and she said it was a little bit difficult. A. took part in B. has taken part in C. would take part in D. had taken part in 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：这是她第一次参加电影拍摄，她说这有点困难。It+is/was+the first/second/.../last time+that+sb. has/had done sth.为固定句型，表示“这是某人第几次做某事”，该句型主句中be动词是is时，从句中谓语动词用has/have done，be动词是was时，从句中谓语动词用had done；本句中是“It was the first time...”，所以从句中应使用过去完成时态had taken part in。故选D项。 2. ________ in public can be an unpleasant experience. A. Criticizing B. Being criticized C. Criticized D. Having criticized 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在公众场合被批评可能是一次令人不快的经历。空处在句中作主语，且表示被动意义“被批评”，应使用动名词的被动式Being criticized。 3. Email, along with messaging apps and video calls, ________ an important role in daily communication. A. is playing B. have played C. are playing D. play 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：电子邮件，连同消息应用程序和视频通话，在日常交流中发挥着重要作用。句中含有along with, together with, as well as, with等短语时，谓语动词的单复数形式应与前面的主语保持一致即“就远原则”。本句的主语是Email，为第三人称单数，因此谓语动词需用单数形式。四个选项中只有is playing为单数形式，此处表示现阶段正在发生的动作故使用现在进行时，A选项符合题意。 4. When he turned professional at 11, Mike ________ by his coach and parents to become a world champion. A. was expected B. expected C. were being expected D. was expecting 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：当他11岁成为职业选手时，迈克的教练和父母期望他成为世界冠军。sb. be expected to do是固定短语，意为“某人被期待做某事”，由When he turned professional可知，句子时态是一般过去时，主语Mike是一个人，因此be动词用was。 5. People in this area spend up to 70 minutes in their cars ________ from home to work during rush hour. A. to travel B. travel C. are traveling D. traveling 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：在交通高峰期，这个地区的人们在车里花费多达70分钟的时间从家通勤到工作地点。固定搭配spend time (in) doing sth.，意为“花费时间做某事”。介词in可以省略，其后接动名词traveling。 6. For centuries in good condition, the ancient vase could no longer be displayed because it ________ during the transport last week. A. affected B. has been affected C. had affected D. was affected 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：几个世纪以来一直保存完好的这个古董花瓶不能再展出了，因为上周在运输过程中它受损了。句中主语it（指代the ancient vase）与动词affect之间为被动关系，需使用被动语态；且根据时间状语last week可知，该动作发生在过去，需使用一般过去时。因此，空格处应为一般过去时的被动语态was affected。 7. We ________ the sunset from the mountain top when suddenly a heavy rain came. A. watched B. had watched C. had been watching D. were watching 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们正在山顶看日落，突然下起了大雨。此处为固定句型 be doing sth. when...，意为“正在做某事，这时突然……”，主句用过去进行时，表示过去某个时刻正在发生的动作。 8. He told us that the research team ________ a brand-new device to cut energy consumption within the next two years. A. develops B. will develop C. would develop D. has developed 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他告诉我们，研究团队将在未来两年内开发出一种全新的设备来降低能耗。主句谓语动词“told”为一般过去时，且宾语从句中含有时间状语“within the next two years”（在接下来的两年内），表示从过去某一时间点（即他告诉我们的时间）算起的将来，因此宾语从句需使用过去将来时，其结构为“would+动词原形”。 9. This kind of book, though not widely advertised, ________ well among young readers. A. sell B. sells C. is sold D. are sold 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这种书虽然没有被广泛宣传，但在年轻读者中很畅销。sell well为固定搭配，意为“畅销”，此处动词sell用主动形式表示被动意义，无需使用被动语态。同时，句子的主语是This kind of book，为单数，谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式sells。 10. By the time the new monitoring system is fully operational next spring, the team ________ wildlife data continuously for over five years. A. will collect B. will be collecting C. will have been collecting D. has been collecting 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：到明年春天新监测系统全面投入使用时，这支团队将已经持续收集野生动物数据达五年多。此处为谓语动词，by the time引导时间状语从句，从句为一般现在时表将来，结合句中的时间状语“next spring”以及表示持续时间段的“continuously for over five years”可知，此处强调动作一直持续到将来某个时间点，因此谓语动词需用将来完成进行时（will have been doing）。 11. ________ his 1-year-old smart phone still works perfectly, he feels the need to replace it. A. When B. Although C. As D. Since 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查连接词词义辨析。句意：尽管他用了一年的智能手机仍然运行得很完美，但他还是觉得有必要更换它。A. When当……时；B. Although尽管，虽然；C. As因为，尽管；D. Since自从，因为。根据“his 1-year-old smart phone still works perfectly”与“he feels the need to replace it”可知，前后两句为转折关系，“手机运行完美”与“想要更换”形成对比，Although表转折，符合语境（as引导让步状语从句需倒装）。故选B。 12. The research team has recorded plenty of wildlife data ________ they set up the monitoring station in the reserve. A. before B. as C. since D. until 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从在保护区建立监测站以来，研究团队已经记录了大量的野生动物数据。A. before在……之前；B. as当……的时候；C. since自从；D. until直到。主句谓语动词“has recorded”使用的是现在完成时，空格后从句的谓语动词“set up”使用的是一般过去时。这符合“since”引导时间状语从句时的固定时态搭配，即“主句用现在完成时，since从句用一般过去时”，since表示“自从……以来”。 13.

A. that I think is B. which I think it is C. which I think is D. that I think it is 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他又做出了一项了不起的发现，我认为这对人类非常重要，尽管一些专家对此表示怀疑。逗号后为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词discovery，非限制性定语从句不能用that引导，排除A、D项；“I think”为插入语，分析句子成分时可将其省略，关系词在从句中作主语，指代先行词，应用关系代词which，且从句中不再需要主语it，排除B项。 15. It is not where you come from or what you are but the ability to do the job ________ matters most. A. one B. that C. what D. which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：最重要的是做这份工作的能力，而不是你来自哪里或你是谁。本句为强调句型，其基本结构为“It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其他部分”。句中被强调的部分是主语“not where you come from or what you are but the ability to do the job”，指代事物，因此空格处应填入that。 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. fuel B. included C. intensified D. invisibility E. isolated F. means G. practically H. risk I. seemingly J. alarming K. updates Does Group Chat Make You Feel Bad? I’m in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notices and messages constantly stream in. While the meeting is important, I’m distracted and eager to pick up the phone. Is it a new job announcement from a friend? Has something terrible happened? My anxiety is ____16____ as new messages mount, and I’m praying this meeting ends sooner. This is a typical emotional change of being a modern group chat member, and I’m not alone. Starting as a new ____17____ for long-distance connection with multiple friends, group chats have become the common way we stay in touch. According to a recent research project, an average adult in Britain is part of 83 group chats — a(n) ____18____ situation highlighting how over connected people are. But why exactly do they cause such negative emotions? “When I see tons of messages coming through, I get stressed that I may lose track of ____19____ if I don’t check them from time to time. Or I worry I’ve said something wrong,” says one interviewee, “Not joining in a group chat may in some way ____20____ our pressure, because then you’ll get loads to catch up on.” There’s a lack of real connection too. “Group chats can make us feel surrounded, yet still somehow on the outside,” says Abby Rawlinson, a psychologist. “If you know everyone’s chatting and you’re not part of the flow, it arouses the ache of ____21____.” However, the darker side of a group chat occurs when things go from lighthearted jokes to ____22____ harmless comments causing the wildfire of negativity. “FOMO [fear of missing out] in group chats is real,” says another interviewee, “If you’re added to a smaller group chat without a certain friend, that implies the friend has been ____23____ for a certain reason. No one in the new chat group intends to hurt others but somehow, gossip about that friend later appears, indicating that leaving group chats equals the ____24____ of being talked about behind your back.” “The emotional politics of a group chat are the dynamics that shape how seen, ____25____ or valued we feel,” says Rawlinson, “Over time, these patterns start to mirror real-life social system and cause misunderstanding.” 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. J 19. K 20. A 21. D 22. I 23. E 24. H 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨群聊带来负面情绪的现象及其背后原因。 【16题详解】 考查动词。句意：随着新消息不断累积，我的焦虑加剧了，我祈祷会议早点结束。根据“as new messages mount”可知，新消息越来越多使焦虑情绪被放大或加剧，intensify意为“加剧，增强”，此处为一般现在时的被动语态is intensified。 【17题详解】 考查名词。句意：群聊最初是作为与多位朋友远距离联系的一种新方式出现的，如今已成为我们保持联系的常见方式。根据“for long-distance connection with multiple friends”可知，此处应指一种联系的“方式/手段”，means意为“方式，手段”，单复数同形。 【18题详解】 考查形容词。句意：根据一项近期研究项目，英国成年人平均加入了83个群聊——这一令人担忧的情况凸显了人们被过度连接的程度。根据“highlighting how over connected people are”可知，此处表达“令人担忧的、警示性的情况”，alarming意为“令人震惊的，引起恐慌的”，修饰名词situation。 【19题详解】 考查名词。句意：当我看到大量消息涌入时，我会担心如果没有时不时查看就会跟不上更新内容。根据“lose track of”和群聊的消息属性可知，此处表达“最新消息、更新内容”，updates为名词复数形式，意为“更新、最新消息”。 【20题详解】 考查动词。句意：不加入群聊在某种程度上会加剧我们的压力，因为之后你会有大量消息需要补看。根据“our pressure”和补看大量消息的语境可知，此处表达“加剧、助推”，fuel作动词意为“给……加燃料、加剧”，情态动词may后接动词原形。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：如果你知道大家都在聊天而你不在其中，这会唤起被忽视的痛感。根据上文“yet still somehow on the outside”可知有“被忽视”的感觉，invisibility意为“看不见，被忽视”。 【22题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，群聊阴暗的一面出现在事情从轻松玩笑变成看似无害却引发负面情绪野火的评论时。根据“harmless comments causing the wildfire of negativity”可知，评论表面看似无害，seemingly意为“看似，表面上”，修饰形容词harmless。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：如果你被拉进一个没有某位朋友的较小群聊，这意味着该朋友因某种原因被孤立。根据“without a certain friend”可知，此处表达“被孤立”，isolated是isolate的过去分词，和has been构成现在完成时的被动语态。 【24题详解】 考查名词。句意：新群里没有人有意伤害他人，但不知怎的，关于那位朋友的流言之后就出现了，这说明离开群聊就等于面临被人背后议论的风险。根据“of being talked about behind your back”可知，此处表达“风险”，risk意为“风险”。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：群聊的情感互动规则是一种动态机制，塑造了我们感受到自己被看见、被包容或被重视的程度。根据“seen”和“or valued we feel”的并列结构可知，此处表达“被接纳、被包含”，included是include的过去分词，和seen、valued并列，符合语境。 Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension 45’ Section A 15’ Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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. After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in books from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new ____26____: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” In the past, students understood that hard work was not ____27____; an A demanded great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the ____28____ of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In a recent survey, ____29____, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for showing up at (most) classes. The Gen Z are not at fault. It’s the result of a ____30____ about one of the most popular educational theories. More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck found praising kids for their abilities weakened their flexibility and led to a (n) ____31____ mindset, making them more likely to get discouraged or give up when they encountered setbacks. However, a shift in praise from intelligence to effort could cultivate a developed mindset and ____32____ learning. The idea of celebrating persistence quickly made its way into widely-shared articles, ____33____ books and popular TED talks. The problem is that we’ve taken this practice too far. We’ve gone from ____34____ effort to treating it as an end-in itself. We’ve failed to remind a generation of kids that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job, ____35____ being a good person. What worries me most is that it can motivate people to ____36____ bad strategies instead of developing better ones. A textbook example is burning the midnight oil rather than spacing out their studying over a few days. Teachers and parents ____37____ kids a more balanced message. We award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest for good reasons. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain but to ask how you could have gotten a better return on your ____38____.

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 read. (A) I was sitting in my high school classroom, nervously tapping my pencil against the desk as I awaited the start of the English exam. As the clock struck, signaling the beginning of the exam, my heart began to race. I opened the exam booklet and scanned the questions, and I felt a wave of panic over me. The questions seemed foreign, and the topics unfamiliar. In a state of panic, I hurriedly wrote down my answers, hoping that somehow, by some stroke of luck, they would be correct. But as the minutes went by, I realized I couldn’t seem to make sense of the questions before me. As the final bell rang, I handed in my paper with a heavy heart. In the days that followed, I couldn’t shake the feeling of failure that hung over me like a dark cloud. I replayed the exam over and over in my mind, analyzing every question, every answer, searching for clues as to where I had gone wrong. But in the depression, a realization began to dawn on me — I had failed, yes, but I had also learned valuable lessons along the way. Armed with this newfound wisdom, I ensured that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before. When the time came to retake the exam, I was ready. I approached each question with confidence and clarity, drawing upon the lessons I had learned from my previous missteps. When the results were announced, I held my breath as I scanned the list of names. And there it was — my name, shining brightly among the list of successful candidates. At that moment, all the hard work, all the late nights and early mornings, were worth it. And as I look back on that sunny afternoon in the high school classroom, I am grateful for the lessons it taught me, and the person it helped me become. 41.

He was in a hurry when answering the questions. 42. What did the author do after he failed in the exam? A. He attended valuable lessons in school. B. He retook the exam over and over again. C. He promised to arm himself with eagerness. D. He determined to engage himself in learning. 43. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “devouring” (paragraph 4)?

Entertaining friends with self-cooked meals. 【答案】45. A 46. B 47. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是一份房屋租赁协议的各项条款内容。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章DEFINITIONS部分中的“RENT £500 per calendar month, payable in advance on the first day of each month(租金：每月 500 英镑，每月 1 日预付当月租金)”可知，该房产每月的租金为500英镑。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章开头可知房东（THE LANDLORD）是Gloria Black。在文章末尾的“Signed”部分找到Gloria Black的签名处，其下方的见证人（Witnessed by）为OLIVE LYDIA LEE，对应的职业（Occupation）一栏显示为“Librarian(图书管理员)”。 【47题详解】 根据租客义务（TENANT’S OBLIGATIONS）第7条“Not use any musical instrument, wireless or television between midnight and 7 am, nor permit any singing or dancing between these hours.(午夜至早上 7 点之间，不得弹奏乐器、使用收音机、电视机，也不得在此时间段内唱歌、跳舞。)”可知，午夜至早上7点之间不能看电视，并非随时都可以，所以A选项错误。根据第7条“Not use any musical instrument, wireless or television between midnight and 7 am, nor permit any singing or dancing between these hours.(午夜至早上 7 点之间，不得弹奏乐器、使用收音机、电视机，也不得在此时间段内唱歌、跳舞。)”可知，午夜至早上7点之间不允许唱歌或跳舞，不能举办通宵舞会，因此B选项错误。根据第6条“Not use the Property other than as a private dwelling; nor carry on any profession, trade or business in the Property.(该房屋仅可作为私人住宅使用，不得在房屋内从事职业经营、贸易或商业活动。)”可知，不能将房产用于商业用途，因此C选项错误。D项正确：文中并未禁止租客自己做饭招待朋友，这属于正常的私人住宅（private dwelling）用途，是允许的。 (C) We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says. 48. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Addiction to smartphones. B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places. C. Absence of communication between strangers. D. Impatience with slow service. 49. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci? A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people. C. Focusing on a topic. D. Making business deals. 50. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk? A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people’s confidence. C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good. 51. What is the best title for the text? A. Conversation Counts B. Ways of Making Small Talk C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Uncomfortable Silence 【答案】48. C 49. B 50. D 51. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。在当今社会，人们在公共场合或沉迷于智能手机，或与不舒服的沉默抗争，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。但人与人之间是需要适当的交谈闲聊的，闲聊是人际关系社会交往必不可少的部分，而且也有很多好处。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。题干问的是：第一段描述了什么现象。在公共场合（比如在电梯里，在银行排队，或在飞机上）人们深深地专注于他们的智能手机，或者更糟糕的是，与不舒服的沉默抗争。有此可知，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。A项意为：沉迷于智能手机。B项意为：在公共场所不适当的行为。C项意为：陌生人之间缺乏沟通。D项意为：对缓慢的服务不耐烦。故选C项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。题干问得是对于Carducci来说，成功的闲聊中重要的是什么。根据第三段最后一句“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them”（成功闲聊的关键是学习如何与他们交流，而不仅仅是与他们沟通。）可知，Carducci认为成功闲聊的核心是与他人产生关联，故选B。A项意为：表现出良好的礼貌。B项意为：与他人有关的。C项意为：专注于一个话题。D项意为：做商业交易。故选B项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。题干问的是：咖啡店的研究对闲聊有什么建议。根据第四段的调查结果可知，那些与服务员聊天的人，有显著的积极情绪和更好的咖啡店体验。由此可知，D项符合题意。A项意为：闲聊改善了家庭关系。B项意为：闲聊提高了人们的信心。C项意为：闲聊和正式谈话一样重要。D项意为：闲聊让人感觉很好。故选D项。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。整篇文章刚开始介绍了社会的现象（公共场合人们沉迷于智能手机，陌生人之间缺乏沟通交流），接着分析了这一问题的原因，接下来有专家对闲聊进行了研究，最后得出结论，闲聊都有什么样的好处。A项意为：谈话很重要。B项意为：闲聊的方法。C项意为：闲聊的好处。D项意为：不舒服的沉默。故选C项。 【点睛】我们在做阅读理解时，尽量找出每段的主讲内容（可能是一句话或是一个短语），这样有利于整篇文章的把握，有利于做文章大意题。如35题，很显然本文讲的不是重要性也不是方法更不是沉默，所以ABD都可以轻松排除。 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. How Can I Fight Laziness? Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. ____52____. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ____53____. Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. ____54____. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. ____55____. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits. A. To fight family laziness, set an example. B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important. C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. D. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal. E. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life. F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child. 【答案】52. C 53. E 54. F 55. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了如何克服懒惰。首先点明懒惰会让人一事无成，但通过思维转变可以战胜它，随后从“保证充足睡眠、变被动为主动、远离诱惑并建立奖励机制、为家人树立榜样、定期锻炼”五个方面给出具体方法. 【52题详解】 下文“Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.(很多人长期睡眠不足，因为他们熬夜太晚，又早起准备工作。这些人一旦到家就没什么动力。懒惰与缺乏动力和拖延倾向密切相关。通过调整作息，多获得几个小时的有效休息，你就能一整天都对抗懒惰。)”围绕“睡眠不足导致懒惰”及“调整作息克服懒惰”展开；结合下文“Another way...”“Some people fight laziness by...”等分点结构，空处需要一句点明“保证睡眠是克服懒惰的一种方法”的总起句。选项C“克服懒惰的一种方法是保证充足的睡眠。”直接点明该段核心主题，下文的“睡眠不足的危害”“调整作息的建议”都是对该方法的具体阐述，逻辑连贯。故选C。 【53题详解】 上文“Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(另一种克服懒惰的方法是将思维从被动转变为主动。有些人对待生活就像被推着完成一个又一个任务。另一些人则采取更积极主动的态度，将每项任务视为必须独自克服的挑战。)”对比了“被动”与“主动”两种生活态度；空处需要一句承接“被动态度”，说明其与“懒惰”关联的句子。选项E“当你不再觉得自己能掌控自己的生活时，懒惰就会滋生。”解释了“被动态度”（无法掌控生活）会导致懒惰，与上文“被动对待任务”形成逻辑呼应，同时突出了“主动掌控生活”对克服懒惰的重要性，契合段落主题。故选E。 【54题详解】 上文“Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations（诱惑）that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(有些人通过摆脱周围的诱惑来克服懒惰。客厅里的电视可能能提供娱乐，但看太多电视往往会导致懒惰)”提出“摆脱诱惑”的方法；下文“Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.(完成几项任务后，用你喜欢的东西奖励自己，比如一顿丰盛的晚餐或一部电影。)”则介绍了“奖励自己”的具体做法。空处需要一句衔接“摆脱诱惑”与“自我奖励”，且点明“建立奖励机制”的句子。选项F“就像父母对孩子那样，为自己建立一个奖励机制。”直接点明“自我奖励”的核心，下文的“完成任务后奖励自己”是该机制的具体体现，既补充了“克服诱惑”的辅助方法，又让建议更具操作性，符合逻辑。故选F。 【55题详解】 上文“Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(懒惰在家里也可能是一个长期存在的问题。夫妻和孩子的精力水平可能各不相同，但如果不立即处理，懒惰可能会蔓延。)”指出“家庭中的懒惰问题”及危害；下文“Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.(饭后主动第一个收拾碗筷。家里的其他人最终可能会以你为榜样，完成自己的任务。)”给出了“主动做事、树立榜样”的具体做法。空处需要一句点明“家庭中克服懒惰需树立榜样”的总起句。选项A“要克服家庭中的懒惰，就要树立榜样。”直接点明该段主题，下文的“主动收拾碗筷”“他人跟随榜样”都是对该方法的具体说明，逻辑连贯且贴合“家庭场景”。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷(共25分) Section A 5’ Directions: Complete the sentences below with the correct form of the words in brackets. 56.

I’m in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notices and messages constantly stream in. While the meeting is important, I’m distracted and eager to pick up the phone. Is it a new job announcement from a friend? Has something terrible happened? My anxiety is ____16____ as new messages mount, and I’m praying this meeting ends sooner. This is a typical emotional change of being a modern group chat member, and I’m not alone. Starting as a new ____17____ for long-distance connection with multiple friends, group chats have become the common way we stay in touch. According to a recent research project, an average adult in Britain is part of 83 group chats — a(n) ____18____ situation highlighting how over connected people are. But why exactly do they cause such negative emotions? “When I see tons of messages coming through, I get stressed that I may lose track of ____19____ if I don’t check them from time to time. Or I worry I’ve said something wrong,” says one interviewee, “Not joining in a group chat may in some way ____20____ our pressure, because then you’ll get loads to catch up on.” There’s a lack of real connection too. “Group chats can make us feel surrounded, yet still somehow on the outside,” says Abby Rawlinson, a psychologist. “If you know everyone’s chatting and you’re not part of the flow, it arouses the ache of ____21____.” However, the darker side of a group chat occurs when things go from lighthearted jokes to ____22____ harmless comments causing the wildfire of negativity. “FOMO [fear of missing out] in group chats is real,” says another interviewee, “If you’re added to a smaller group chat without a certain friend, that implies the friend has been ____23____ for a certain reason. No one in the new chat group intends to hurt others but somehow, gossip about that friend later appears, indicating that leaving group chats equals the ____24____ of being talked about behind your back.” “The emotional politics of a group chat are the dynamics that shape how seen, ____25____ or valued we feel,” says Rawlinson, “Over time, these patterns start to mirror real-life social system and cause misunderstanding.” Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension 45’ Section A 15’ Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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. After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in books from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new ____26____: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” In the past, students understood that hard work was not ____27____; an A demanded great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the ____28____ of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In a recent survey, ____29____, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for showing up at (most) classes. The Gen Z are not at fault. It’s the result of a ____30____ about one of the most popular educational theories. More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck found praising kids for their abilities weakened their flexibility and led to a (n) ____31____ mindset, making them more likely to get discouraged or give up when they encountered setbacks. However, a shift in praise from intelligence to effort could cultivate a developed mindset and ____32____ learning. The idea of celebrating persistence quickly made its way into widely-shared articles, ____33____ books and popular TED talks. The problem is that we’ve taken this practice too far. We’ve gone from ____34____ effort to treating it as an end-in itself. We’ve failed to remind a generation of kids that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job, ____35____ being a good person. What worries me most is that it can motivate people to ____36____ bad strategies instead of developing better ones. A textbook example is burning the midnight oil rather than spacing out their studying over a few days. Teachers and parents ____37____ kids a more balanced message. We award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest for good reasons. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain but to ask how you could have gotten a better return on your ____38____. A’s are not granted for effort itself; they’re ____39____ through mastery of the material. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you ____40____. 26. A. complaint B. assignment C. theory D. essay 27. A. practical B. vast C. adequate D. complex 28. A. proof B. quantity C. hope D. chance 29.

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 read. (A) I was sitting in my high school classroom, nervously tapping my pencil against the desk as I awaited the start of the English exam. As the clock struck, signaling the beginning of the exam, my heart began to race. I opened the exam booklet and scanned the questions, and I felt a wave of panic over me. The questions seemed foreign, and the topics unfamiliar. In a state of panic, I hurriedly wrote down my answers, hoping that somehow, by some stroke of luck, they would be correct. But as the minutes went by, I realized I couldn’t seem to make sense of the questions before me. As the final bell rang, I handed in my paper with a heavy heart. In the days that followed, I couldn’t shake the feeling of failure that hung over me like a dark cloud. I replayed the exam over and over in my mind, analyzing every question, every answer, searching for clues as to where I had gone wrong. But in the depression, a realization began to dawn on me — I had failed, yes, but I had also learned valuable lessons along the way. Armed with this newfound wisdom, I ensured that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before. When the time came to retake the exam, I was ready. I approached each question with confidence and clarity, drawing upon the lessons I had learned from my previous missteps. When the results were announced, I held my breath as I scanned the list of names. And there it was — my name, shining brightly among the list of successful candidates. At that moment, all the hard work, all the late nights and early mornings, were worth it. And as I look back on that sunny afternoon in the high school classroom, I am grateful for the lessons it taught me, and the person it helped me become. 41.

(C) We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says. 48. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Addiction to smartphones. B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places. C. Absence of communication between strangers. D. Impatience with slow service. 49. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci? A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people. C. Focusing on a topic. D. Making business deals. 50. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk? A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people’s confidence. C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good. 51. What is the best title for the text? A. Conversation Counts B. Ways of Making Small Talk C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Uncomfortable Silence 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. How Can I Fight Laziness? Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. ____52____. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ____53____. Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. ____54____. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. ____55____. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits. A. To fight family laziness, set an example. B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important. C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. D. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal. E. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life. F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child. 第Ⅱ卷(共25分) Section A 5’ Directions: Complete the sentences below with the correct form of the words in brackets. 56.
