However, He Suye, a young and talented physician in the latest medical-romance drama The Best Thing, challenges that traditional image. Played by the 27-year-old actor Zhang Linghe, Mr. He is a TCM specialist with a gentle personality, but outside of work, he enjoys hobbies like skateboarding and malatang, a type of hotpot, reshaping common views of TCM doctors. The Best Thing follows Shen Xifan, a hotel manager suffering from frequent headaches and severe insomnia (失眠). In her search for a cure, she meets Mr. He, and their relationship deepens through medical consultations. To play a genuine TCM practitioner, Zhang studied Chinese medicine with practicing physicians, learning traditional diagnostic (诊断的) and treatment methods. This process helped him gain a deeper appreciation of TCM’s integrated philosophy, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and environment, viewing health as a balance among these elements. The drama creatively integrates TCM knowledge by naming each episode after a type of Chinese herbal medicine, connecting TCM’s healing methods to the storyline. For example, in one episode, Mr. He performs “wet cupping” to treat a breathing emergency, showcasing TCM’s role in critical care. The drama particularly appeals to younger viewers. With the growing integration of TCM and Western medicine, as well as expanding international exchanges, TCM practitioners and students now have more diverse career opportunities. For instance, acupuncture (针灸) is now covered in health insurance plans in many countries. Zhang Linghe believes that passion is the driving force behind a successful career — just like his character, He, who remains committed to his career path in TCM despite numerous challenges, including initial opposition from his father. Zhang hopes to introduce TCM to a global audience, especially younger generations, through the drama’s release on international platforms. 4. What do we know about He Suye? A. He challenges the principles of TCM. B. He is an actor starring in The Best Thing. C. He presents a modern image of a TCM doctor. D. He has the same hobbies as other TCM doctors. 5. Why did Zhang Linghe learn TCM techniques? A. To prepare for the role. B. To treat his own illnesses. C. To become a practicing physician. D. To appreciate TCM’s philosophy. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning acupuncture? A. To explain the diverse opportunities in future acting careers. B. To demonstrate TCM’s international recognition. C. To show the drama’s popularity among younger viewers. D. To emphasize TCM’s advantages over Western medicine. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Traditional Approach to TCM B. A New Vision for actors’ Future C. Exploring the Ancient Roots of TCM D. Redefining TCM for a Global Audience 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍电视剧《爱你》塑造新式中医形象，借剧集向海内外青年传播中医文化。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When thinking of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctors, one might picture an elderly man with a long beard sitting in front of a medicine chest. However, He Suye, a young and talented physician in the latest medical-romance drama The Best Thing, challenges that traditional image.(提到中医，人们脑海里或许会浮现一位留着长胡须、坐在药柜前的老者形象。但在最新医疗爱情剧《爱你》中，年轻有为的医师何苏叶打破了这种固有印象。)”以及第二段中的“Played by the 27-year-old actor Zhang Linghe, Mr. He is a TCM specialist with a gentle personality, but outside of work, he enjoys hobbies like skateboarding and malatang, a type of hotpot, reshaping common views of TCM doctors.(由27岁演员张凌赫饰演的何医生是一名中医，性格温和。但工作之余，他喜欢滑板、吃麻辣烫这类爱好，重塑了大众对中医的固有印象。)”可知，何苏叶展现了现代化的中医形象。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To play a genuine TCM practitioner, Zhang studied Chinese medicine with practicing physicians, learning traditional diagnostic and treatment methods.(为演好一名真实可信的中医，张凌赫跟随执业中医师学习中医，掌握传统诊断与治疗方式。)”可知，张凌赫学习中医技法是为角色做准备。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“With the growing integration of TCM and Western medicine, as well as expanding international exchanges, TCM practitioners and students now have more diverse career opportunities. For instance, acupuncture is now covered in health insurance plans in many countries.(随着中西医融合不断加深，国际交流日益增多，中医从业者和学生如今拥有了更多样的职业发展机会。例如，针灸在许多国家已经纳入医保。)”可知，作者举针灸例子是为体现中医获得国际认可。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Zhang hopes to introduce TCM to a global audience, especially younger generations, through the drama’s release on international platforms.(张凌赫希望借助这部剧集在海外平台播出，向全球观众，尤其是年轻一代，介绍中医。)”可知，文章围绕这部剧集重新塑造中医形象、面向世界传播中医文化展开，“向全球受众重新定义中医”适合作为标题。 C Among world languages, English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks, especially in formal and business settings. So it’s reasonable that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness. If somebody doesn’t say “thanks”, we often think, they must not have been very grateful. And yet, in English, “thank you” gets used so frequently that it can easily start to feel habitual. But do we say it as much as we think in our casual interactions with family and friends? A new research paper titled Universals and Cultural Diversity in the Expression of Gratitude suggests that no, we do not. The research team behind the paper looked for expressions of thankfulness in daily informal interactions across eight languages: English, Italian, Polish, Russian, Lao, Cha’palaa, Murrinhpatha, and Siwu. The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm. In fact, the practice of giving thanks seems to have little impact on the practice of mutual exchange. The practice of giving thanks also varies culturally. In India, for example, people — especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist! In contrast, in England, expressing thankfulness through words is seen as a positive strengthening of relationships, promoting goodwill and connections. Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for “thank you”. “People should know the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other well. That saying thanks is not a necessity feels quite reasonable.” 8. What does the underlined word “conflate” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Compare. B. Replace. C. Turn out. D. Mix up. 9. How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study? A. By saying thanks directly. B. By making social agreements. C. By using body language. D. By helping and cooperating. 10. How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives? A. It weakens their bond. B. It reduces their social distance. C. It enhances their connection. D. It promotes their mutual trust. 11. What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph? A. Many cultures do emphasize thankfulness. B. Thankfulness might not be expressed in words. C. Small communities prefer to thank close friends. D. People are supposed to thank their relatives frequently. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍一项研究，感恩表达存在文化差异，通用方式并非口头道谢，而是互助协作。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“So it’s reasonable that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness.(所以英语使用者往往会把感恩的话语表达和感恩的内心感受conflate，这是合乎情理的。)”和“ If somebody doesn’t say “thanks”, we often think, they must not have been very grateful.(如果有人没有说“谢谢”，我们常常会认为，他们一定没有感到很感激。)”可知，英语使用者容易将道谢行为和感恩情绪混淆在一起，认为没说谢谢就是没有感激之情，因此，画线单词“conflate”表达“混淆”的含义，mix up符合语境。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual assistance and working together are the norm.(这些研究结果表明，表达感激的通用方式并不是说谢谢，而是遵循一种社会共识：互助与协作是常态。)”可知，表达感恩的普遍方式是互相帮助、彼此合作。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In India, for example, people — especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist!(例如在印度，人们——尤其是长辈、亲戚或是密友——往往会觉得，向他们道谢会冲淡彼此的亲近感，带来本不该存在的客套与隔阂。)”可知，印度人认为向亲属道谢会削弱彼此之间的亲密关系。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for “thank you”. “People should know the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other well. That saying thanks is not a necessity feels quite reasonable.”(这项研究的首席研究员尼克·恩菲尔德提出，世界上6000到7000种语言里，大多数都没有对应“谢谢”的词汇。“人们应当了解这样一个事实：很多语言通行于规模很小的社群，里面的人彼此大多十分熟悉。所以不说感谢也合乎情理。”)”可知，尼克暗示感恩不一定需要用语言来表达。 D A quiet revolution is happening in autonomous systems, freeing us from the burdens of labor and giving us more control over our lives. A robotaxis can give you a smooth ride to wherever you need to go while a humanoid robot can handle chores at home. Undoubtedly, instead of spending time driving, or folding laundry, we can engage in intellectual, artistic, and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable. We can learn new languages, develop new skills, or connect more deeply with loved ones. We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life. However, undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer, there’s something special about the tasks they aim to replace. Learning to drive, or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience. The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence. Folding laundry can be a quiet, reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms. Here lies the contradiction: Autonomy isn’t just about freedom from work but control. As we hand over more control to machines, we are losing some of our own. Take Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, for example. Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers, we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality. For many, driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—it’s an experience about freedom and control. The sensory connection to the road, and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace, but not necessarily reproduce. True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines. It’s about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to. The simple act of driving a car, or cleaning a home is more than just a function; it’s an expression of our humanity. Perhaps that’s the real challenge in front of us as autonomous systems become more integrated into our lives; how to use these machines to enhance our freedom without losing the very expression of our humanity. 12. What do autonomous systems probably enable us to get? A. Greater abilities to handle chores. B. Higher intellectual ambitions. C. More opportunities to develop creativity. D. A free future of living without limits. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. The value of routine experiences. B. The freedom through technology. C. The reflections on personal growth. D. The room for improving autonomous systems. 14. Why does the author mention “Tesla’s FSD system”? A. To demonstrate the joy of driving. B. To argue against the freedom from work. C. To give an example of technological convenience. D. To stress the loss of control and human experience. 15. What message does the author mainly convey? A. Technology serves as a helping hand. B. Freedom isn’t what technology offers us. C. The future of autonomous systems is in our hands. D. There are conflicts between innovation and autonomy. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了自主系统（如自动驾驶汽车和人形机器人）在带来生活便利的同时，也引发了关于人类自主性、控制权以及人性表达的思考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Undoubtedly, instead of spending time driving, or folding laundry, we can engage in intellectual, artistic, and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable. We can learn new languages, develop new skills, or connect more deeply with loved ones. We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life.(毫无疑问，与其花时间开车或叠衣服，我们可以从事以前无法想象的智力、艺术和社交活动。我们可以学习新的语言，发展新的技能，或者与所爱的人建立更深入的联系。我们正在接近这样一个未来：创造和探索的自由不再受到日常生活需求的限制)”可知，自主系统能让我们得到有更多的机会来发展创造力。故选C项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer, there’s something special about the tasks they aim to replace. Learning to drive, or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience. The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence. Folding laundry can be a quiet, reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms.(然而，尽管这些自主系统提供了不可否认的便利，但它们旨在取代的任务有一些特别之处。学开车，甚至叠衣服都不仅仅是家务，而是我们人类经历的基本组成部分。你第一次开车给了你一个成长和独立的时刻。叠衣服可以是一个安静、沉思的时刻——提醒你生活是由简单的节奏组成的)”可知，本段的重点是日常经验的价值。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Take Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, for example. Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers, we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality. For many, driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—it’s an experience about freedom and control. The sensory connection to the road, and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace, but not necessarily reproduce.(以特斯拉的全自动驾驶（FSD）系统为例。尽管它提供了令人难以置信的便利和安全，但我们需要反思一下，随着我们越来越接近这一现实，我们可能会留下什么。对许多人来说，驾驶不仅仅是一种从一个目的地到达另一个目的地的方式——它是一种关于自由和控制的体验。与道路的感官联系，甚至是掌握驾驶艺术的乐趣，都是技术可能取代的元素，但不一定能复制)”可知，作者提到“Tesla’s FSD system”是为了强调控制权的丧失和人性经验的缺失。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines. It’s about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to. The simple act of driving a car, or cleaning a home is more than just a function; it’s an expression of our humanity. Perhaps that’s the real challenge in front of us as autonomous systems become more integrated into our lives; how to use these machines to enhance our freedom without losing the very expression of our humanity.(真正的人类自主并不仅仅是把日常任务交给机器。当我们想做这些事情的时候，我们可以选择去做。开车或打扫房间这样简单的行为不仅仅是一种功能；这是我们人性的表现。也许这才是我们面临的真正挑战，因为自动系统越来越融入我们的生活；如何使用这些机器来增强我们的自由，同时又不失去我们人性的表达)”可知，作者主要传达了创新和自主之间存在冲突。故选D项。 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。 Many of us were told from an early age that, “you learn from your mistakes”. But is this actually true? ____16____ Failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail. It doesn’t feel good, so we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a task too early, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. ____17____ “Most of us want to think of ourselves as capable”, says Hallgeir Sjastad, a professor of psychology and leadership at the Norwegian School of Economics, so when we fail “it poses a serious threat to our self-image”. Fortunately, there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. ____18____ Instead of asking “Why did I fail?” we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting this perspective (视角) helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively. ____19____ This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups — involving both adults and children — that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. The writer Samuel Beckett once said, “Fail again, fail better”. But it now seems that we should be saying: “Fail again, fail smarter”. ____20____ But by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate. A. The short answer is “yes”. B. Failure is an unavoidable part of life. C. This is actually a kind of self-protection. D. Smart people usually learn from others’ mistakes. E. One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective. F. The more mistakes you make, the less progress you’ll make. G. Another strategy is giving advice to those who have similar experiences with us. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“从错误中学习”这一常见说法的真实性，分析了人们面对失败时的情感障碍，并提供了两种帮助人们克服这些障碍、更客观地从失败中学习的策略。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many of us were told from an early age that, “you learn from your mistakes”. But is this actually true?(我们中的许多人从小就被告诉“你会从错误中学习”。但这实际上是正确的吗？)”可知，作者提出了一个问题，即从错误中学习是否真的正确。结合选项，A项“The short answer is “yes”(简短的回答是“是的”。)”直接回答了这个问题，符合上下文逻辑。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It doesn’t feel good, so we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a task too early, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself.(这感觉不好，所以我们以情感的方式对待失败，比如过早放弃任务，告诉自己我们不在乎是否成功，或者找任务本身的毛病)”可知，我们这样做其实是一种自我保护，不想承认自己的失败，结合选项，C项“This is actually a kind of self-protection.(这实际上是一种自我保护)”表达的含义符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Fortunately, there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure.(幸运的是，有研究表明有一些策略可以帮助我们克服围绕失败的情感障碍)”可知，上文提到了有一些策略，可推理出接下来会介绍具体的策略。E项“One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective.(其中之一是采用第三人称视角)”引出了第一个策略，符合上下文逻辑。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“adopt a third-person perspective (采用第三人称视角)”以及下文“This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success... that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. (这种策略使那些被要求根据自己的失败给出建议的测试组 —— 包括成人和儿童 —— 获得了更高的积极性和学业上的成功)”可知，下文说的是这种策略使测试组获得了更高的积极性和学业上的成功，可推理出空处需要引出第二种策略，即基于自身失败给有相似经历的人提建议，与G项“Another strategy is giving advice to those who have similar experiences with us. (另一种策略是给那些和我们有相似经历的人提建议)”表达的含义一致。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文““Fail again, fail better”. But it now seems that we should be saying: “Fail again, fail smarter”(再次失败，更好地失败。但现在看来我们应该说：再次失败，更聪明地失败)”可知，我们需要学会更聪明地面对失败，可推理出此处说的是失败是生活不可避免的一部分， B项“Failure is an unavoidable part of life(失败是生活中不可避免的一部分)”表达的含义符合语境。故选B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） Borneo is home to some of the most extraordinary wildlife. Several years ago, I decided to go there for a visit. A local person offered to be my guide, which was a great bonus for me.

He had to take hard labor jobs around the neighborhood. He worked as a builder and a carpenter through the years. He often helped his neighbors whenever needed. However, as he grew older, he could no longer do these jobs. His knees grew weak, and his health condition made it difficult for him to do difficult jobs. Steven’s kids didn’t live in the same state as him and could only send him a little money because they also led a poor life. Unfortunately, Steven experienced constant physical pain after doing hard labor jobs for years, and he needed to take medicine every day. The money his kids offered was only enough for food, and his savings were small. Realizing that he needed more money, Steven decided to get a job again. Finally, he found a job as a doorkeeper. At first, his salary was enough to pay for the groceries and the medicine he needed. However, due to his age, he started to need more medicine, and it cost a lot. To pay the growing bills, Steven began to take things from his home to a second-hand store to get some money. One day, as he was carrying an old radio to the store, his neighbor, Ben, saw him, “Mr Green, it’s so good to see you! How have you been?” Ben asked. “I’m doing great. I’m just selling a couple of things I no longer use at home for some cash. Being weak is terrible when you’re old, so take care of yourself when you are young, alright?” he said almost jokingly. Ben nodded. “Thanks for the tip, Mr Green!” he said before waving goodbye. Looking at Green’s back, Ben thought of the days when he and his mother were in trouble. It was always Green who helped them out. That same day, Steven was cooking dinner when he heard the doorbell ring. Who could come to his house? He curiously walked towards the door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Surprisingly, he saw Ben standing there with a jacket in his arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Ben must have forgotten about the money inside the pocket,” Steven thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Surprisingly, he saw Ben standing there with a jacket in his arms. ‌“Earlier today, I noticed you weren’t wearing a jacket. It’s getting cold these days, so I want to give you this jacket as a gift,” Ben said, handing Steven the coat. Steven accepted it and thanked Ben warmly. The next day, Steven wore the jacket to work. Feeling cold, he put his hands inside the pockets. Then he found something inside. To his surprise, it was a check for $200! ‌“Ben must have forgotten about the money inside the pocket,” Steven thought. He then went to Ben’s house. ‌“I believe this is yours,” Steven said, showing Ben the money. But Ben shook his head and said the money was Steven’s. Seeing Steven’s confused face, Ben explained that Steven had helped his mom a lot and that he had never had a chance to repay Steven’s kindness. Therefore, when he realized Steven needed help, he decided to do something. Hearing those words, Steven was so touched that he hugged Ben tightly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Steven晚年生活困难为线索展开，讲述了Steven年轻时靠体力劳动养家并常帮助邻居，年老后膝盖无力、病痛缠身，靠看门工作和卖家中旧物支付药费。邻居Ben看到他卖旧收音机后，想起当年Green帮助过自己和母亲，当天便按响了他家的门铃。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Ben送外套给Steven，Steven次日穿外套上班时在口袋里发现一张200美元支票。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Steven上门归还支票，Ben摇头拒绝，解释这是为报答Steven当年对他母亲的帮助，Steven感动地紧紧拥抱Ben。 2. 续写线索：Ben送外套——发现支票——上门归还——Ben拒收——解释报恩缘由——Steven感动拥抱 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感动：touch/move 【点睛】[高分句型1] Feeling cold, he put his hands inside the pockets.

However, He Suye, a young and talented physician in the latest medical-romance drama The Best Thing, challenges that traditional image. Played by the 27-year-old actor Zhang Linghe, Mr. He is a TCM specialist with a gentle personality, but outside of work, he enjoys hobbies like skateboarding and malatang, a type of hotpot, reshaping common views of TCM doctors. The Best Thing follows Shen Xifan, a hotel manager suffering from frequent headaches and severe insomnia (失眠). In her search for a cure, she meets Mr. He, and their relationship deepens through medical consultations. To play a genuine TCM practitioner, Zhang studied Chinese medicine with practicing physicians, learning traditional diagnostic (诊断的) and treatment methods. This process helped him gain a deeper appreciation of TCM’s integrated philosophy, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and environment, viewing health as a balance among these elements. The drama creatively integrates TCM knowledge by naming each episode after a type of Chinese herbal medicine, connecting TCM’s healing methods to the storyline. For example, in one episode, Mr. He performs “wet cupping” to treat a breathing emergency, showcasing TCM’s role in critical care. The drama particularly appeals to younger viewers. With the growing integration of TCM and Western medicine, as well as expanding international exchanges, TCM practitioners and students now have more diverse career opportunities. For instance, acupuncture (针灸) is now covered in health insurance plans in many countries. Zhang Linghe believes that passion is the driving force behind a successful career — just like his character, He, who remains committed to his career path in TCM despite numerous challenges, including initial opposition from his father. Zhang hopes to introduce TCM to a global audience, especially younger generations, through the drama’s release on international platforms. 4. What do we know about He Suye? A. He challenges the principles of TCM. B. He is an actor starring in The Best Thing. C. He presents a modern image of a TCM doctor. D. He has the same hobbies as other TCM doctors. 5. Why did Zhang Linghe learn TCM techniques? A. To prepare for the role. B. To treat his own illnesses. C. To become a practicing physician. D. To appreciate TCM’s philosophy. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning acupuncture? A. To explain the diverse opportunities in future acting careers. B. To demonstrate TCM’s international recognition. C. To show the drama’s popularity among younger viewers. D. To emphasize TCM’s advantages over Western medicine. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Traditional Approach to TCM B. A New Vision for actors’ Future C. Exploring the Ancient Roots of TCM D. Redefining TCM for a Global Audience C Among world languages, English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks, especially in formal and business settings. So it’s reasonable that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness. If somebody doesn’t say “thanks”, we often think, they must not have been very grateful. And yet, in English, “thank you” gets used so frequently that it can easily start to feel habitual. But do we say it as much as we think in our casual interactions with family and friends? A new research paper titled Universals and Cultural Diversity in the Expression of Gratitude suggests that no, we do not. The research team behind the paper looked for expressions of thankfulness in daily informal interactions across eight languages: English, Italian, Polish, Russian, Lao, Cha’palaa, Murrinhpatha, and Siwu. The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm. In fact, the practice of giving thanks seems to have little impact on the practice of mutual exchange. The practice of giving thanks also varies culturally. In India, for example, people — especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist! In contrast, in England, expressing thankfulness through words is seen as a positive strengthening of relationships, promoting goodwill and connections. Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for “thank you”. “People should know the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other well. That saying thanks is not a necessity feels quite reasonable.” 8. What does the underlined word “conflate” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Compare. B. Replace. C. Turn out. D. Mix up. 9. How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study? A. By saying thanks directly. B. By making social agreements. C. By using body language. D. By helping and cooperating. 10. How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives? A. It weakens their bond. B. It reduces their social distance. C. It enhances their connection. D. It promotes their mutual trust. 11. What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph? A. Many cultures do emphasize thankfulness. B. Thankfulness might not be expressed in words. C. Small communities prefer to thank close friends. D. People are supposed to thank their relatives frequently. D A quiet revolution is happening in autonomous systems, freeing us from the burdens of labor and giving us more control over our lives. A robotaxis can give you a smooth ride to wherever you need to go while a humanoid robot can handle chores at home. Undoubtedly, instead of spending time driving, or folding laundry, we can engage in intellectual, artistic, and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable. We can learn new languages, develop new skills, or connect more deeply with loved ones. We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life. However, undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer, there’s something special about the tasks they aim to replace. Learning to drive, or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience. The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence. Folding laundry can be a quiet, reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms. Here lies the contradiction: Autonomy isn’t just about freedom from work but control. As we hand over more control to machines, we are losing some of our own. Take Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, for example. Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers, we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality. For many, driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—it’s an experience about freedom and control. The sensory connection to the road, and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace, but not necessarily reproduce. True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines. It’s about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to. The simple act of driving a car, or cleaning a home is more than just a function; it’s an expression of our humanity. Perhaps that’s the real challenge in front of us as autonomous systems become more integrated into our lives; how to use these machines to enhance our freedom without losing the very expression of our humanity. 12. What do autonomous systems probably enable us to get? A. Greater abilities to handle chores. B. Higher intellectual ambitions. C. More opportunities to develop creativity. D. A free future of living without limits. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. The value of routine experiences. B. The freedom through technology. C. The reflections on personal growth. D. The room for improving autonomous systems. 14. Why does the author mention “Tesla’s FSD system”? A. To demonstrate the joy of driving. B. To argue against the freedom from work. C.

But is this actually true? ____16____ Failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail. It doesn’t feel good, so we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a task too early, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. ____17____ “Most of us want to think of ourselves as capable”, says Hallgeir Sjastad, a professor of psychology and leadership at the Norwegian School of Economics, so when we fail “it poses a serious threat to our self-image”. Fortunately, there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. ____18____ Instead of asking “Why did I fail?” we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting this perspective (视角) helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively. ____19____ This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups — involving both adults and children — that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. The writer Samuel Beckett once said, “Fail again, fail better”. But it now seems that we should be saying: “Fail again, fail smarter”. ____20____ But by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate. A. The short answer is “yes”. B. Failure is an unavoidable part of life. C. This is actually a kind of self-protection. D. Smart people usually learn from others’ mistakes. E. One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective. F. The more mistakes you make, the less progress you’ll make. G. Another strategy is giving advice to those who have similar experiences with us. 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） Borneo is home to some of the most extraordinary wildlife.

He had to take hard labor jobs around the neighborhood. He worked as a builder and a carpenter through the years. He often helped his neighbors whenever needed. However, as he grew older, he could no longer do these jobs. His knees grew weak, and his health condition made it difficult for him to do difficult jobs. Steven’s kids didn’t live in the same state as him and could only send him a little money because they also led a poor life. Unfortunately, Steven experienced constant physical pain after doing hard labor jobs for years, and he needed to take medicine every day. The money his kids offered was only enough for food, and his savings were small. Realizing that he needed more money, Steven decided to get a job again. Finally, he found a job as a doorkeeper. At first, his salary was enough to pay for the groceries and the medicine he needed. However, due to his age, he started to need more medicine, and it cost a lot. To pay the growing bills, Steven began to take things from his home to a second-hand store to get some money. One day, as he was carrying an old radio to the store, his neighbor, Ben, saw him, “Mr Green, it’s so good to see you! How have you been?” Ben asked. “I’m doing great. I’m just selling a couple of things I no longer use at home for some cash. Being weak is terrible when you’re old, so take care of yourself when you are young, alright?” he said almost jokingly. Ben nodded. “Thanks for the tip, Mr Green!” he said before waving goodbye. Looking at Green’s back, Ben thought of the days when he and his mother were in trouble. It was always Green who helped them out. That same day, Steven was cooking dinner when he heard the doorbell ring. Who could come to his house? He curiously walked towards the door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Surprisingly, he saw Ben standing there with a jacket in his arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Ben must have forgotten about the money inside the pocket,” Steven thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
