A. It’s up to you B. I’m on the fence
C. That’s a good point D. You can’t be serious
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你会接受这份兼职工作吗?——我还在犹豫。我担心它会占用我太多的学习时间。A. It’s up to you由你决定;B. I’m on the fence我还在犹豫;C. That’s a good point说得好;D. You can’t be serious你不是认真的吧。根据答语“I’m worried it will take up too much of my study time.”可知,说话人还没有决定是否接受这份工作,处于犹豫不决的状态。
2. Thanks to the government’s promotion of rural tourism and the popularity of short-video platforms, a surprising ________ in the number of visitors to ancient villages has been witnessed over the past three years.
A. block B. blow C. burst D. boom
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:得益于政府对乡村旅游的推广以及短视频平台的走红,过去三年古村落游客数量出现了惊人的激增。A. block街区;B. blow打击;C. burst爆发(常指短暂突发);D. boom激增,繁荣。结合in the number of visitors可知,空格处应表达“激增”,用boom。
3. A number of researchers in the field of AI ________ with the challenge of data security before the new safety rules were put forward.
A. have been faced
B. had been faced
C. was faced
D. were faced
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:在新的安全规则提出之前,人工智能领域的许多研究人员就已经面临着数据安全的挑战。根据句中的时间状语从句“were put forward”可知,从句用一般过去时,而主句中“面临挑战”的动作发生在“提出新规则”之前,表示“过去的过去”,因此主句应使用过去完成时。固定搭配be faced with意为“面临……”,其过去完成时形式为had been faced with。
4. Many researchers argue that we cannot draw a reliable conclusion about the influence of climate change on local wildlife until we get ________ data from long-term field observation.
A. sufficient B. splendid C. smooth D. spare
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:许多研究人员认为,直到我们从长期的野外观察中获得充足的数据,我们才能得出关于气候变化对当地野生动物影响的可靠结论。A. sufficient充足的;B. splendid极好的;C. smooth光滑的;D. spare备用的。题干中包含“not...until...”句型,意为“直到……才……”。根据语境,只有获得“充足的”数据,才能得出可靠的结论。
5. ________ has triggered heated debate among sociologists is ________ the pursuit of instant fulfillment is gradually weakening youngsters’ willingness to make long-term efforts.
A. What; that B. That; what C. What; what D. That; that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:引起社会学家激烈辩论的是,对即时满足的追求正逐渐削弱年轻人做出长期努力的意愿。分析句子结构可知,第一个空引导主语从句,且在从句中作主语,指代事物,应用what;第二个空引导表语从句,从句结构完整,不缺任何成分,且意义完整,应用只起连接作用、无词义的that。
6. The volunteers visit the nursing home regularly, cleaning the rooms and chatting with the elderly, ________ have lived here for several years.
A. all of them B. each of whom C. all of whom D. each of them
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:志愿者们定期去养老院,打扫房间并和老人们聊天,他们所有人都已经在这里住了好几年了。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰指人的先行词the elderly,需用关系代词whom。
7. The sense of achievement gained from long-term devotion is much stronger than ________ from instant fulfillment.
A. one B. that C. those D. it
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:从长期投入中获得的成就感比从即时满足中获得的成就感要强烈得多。句中空格处需要填入一个代词来替代前面出现的不可数名词the sense of achievement,且其后有介词短语from instant fulfillment作后置定语,表示特指。在英语中,that常用来替代前面提到过的特指的单数可数名词或不可数名词,以避免重复。
8. The article ______ the benefits of regular outdoor exercise reminds us that we can greatly improve our mental state, ________ more time outdoors every day.
A. describing; having spent B. described; spending C. describing; spent D. described; spent
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这篇描述定期户外运动益处的文章提醒我们,通过每天在户外花更多的时间,我们可以极大地改善我们的精神状态。第一空为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰The article,article与describe之间是主动关系,故用现在分词describing;第二空为非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语是we,we与spend之间是主动关系,且spend动作发生在“can improve our mental state”之前,所以此处使用现在分词的完成式,即having spent。
9. With rapid advances in AI technology, some people worry that intelligent machines will ________ human jobs and gain control over many industries.
A. turn over B. get over C. take over D. come over
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:随着人工智能技术的快速发展,一些人担心智能机器将会接管人类的工作,并获得对许多行业的控制权。A. turn over翻转;B. get over克服;C. take over接管;D. come over过来。空处与后面的“gain control over(获得控制权)”并列,表示智能机器取代并接管人类工作,take over符合语境。
10. Some active young people dare to face challenges, explore new paths and stick to their dreams. They discover hope and potential ________ others see only barriers and give up easily.
A. that B. what C. how D. where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:一些活跃的年轻人敢于面对挑战,探索新路径并坚持他们的梦想。他们在别人只看到障碍并轻易放弃的地方发现了希望和潜力。空格处引导的是一个地点状语从句,表示发现希望和潜力的抽象地点。从句“others see only barriers and give up easily”结构完整,不缺主干成分,且根据句意表示“在……的地方”,应用连词where引导。
11. After ________ thoroughly, the research paper on youth social behaviour was submitted to the journal for review.
A. being revised B. revising C. revised D. having revised
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:在被彻底修改之后,关于青年社会行为的研究论文被提交给该期刊进行评审。介词after后应接动名词形式作宾语,且句子的主语the research paper与动词revise之间为逻辑上的被动关系,表示“被修改”,因此需要使用动名词的被动式being revised。
12. The controversy ________ his fame overnight, leaving his long-established public image badly damaged.
A. sacrificed B. split C. spotted D. spread
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:这场争议一夜之间玷污了他的名声,使他长期建立的公众形象严重受损。A. sacrificed牺牲;B. split分裂;C. spotted玷污;D. spread传播。根据“public image badly damaged”可知,此处是指争议带来了负面影响,破坏了他的名声。
13. The young researcher won the international award ________ his continuous efforts and outstanding contributions to environmental protection.
A. in spite of B. on account of C. in case of D. by means of
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这位年轻的研究员因为他不断的努力和对环境保护的杰出贡献而赢得了国际奖项。A. in spite of尽管;B. on account of因为,由于;C. in case of万一;D. by means of通过……的方式。空处前后为因果逻辑关系,即“因为”努力和贡献他才赢得了奖项。
14. It is annoying that whenever our team is buried in preparing for the important competition, some members ________ interrupt us with frequent complaints.
A. can B. shall C. must D. should
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:令人烦恼的是,每当我们的团队埋头准备重要比赛时,一些成员偏偏用频繁的抱怨来打断我们。must在此处表示“偏偏,非要”,带有抱怨、不耐烦的感情色彩,符合句中“It is annoying that...”所表达的不满情绪。
15. — It’s almost impossible for you to win the national speech contest, given the strong competitors. Are you ready to give up?
— ________. I will keep practising and try my best.
A. Tick all the right boxes B. Never say never
C. Pull your weight D. Let off steam
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——考虑到竞争对手很强,你几乎不可能赢得全国演讲比赛。你准备好放弃了吗?——永不言弃。我会继续练习并尽我最大的努力。A. Tick all the right boxes符合所有要求;B. Never say never永不言弃;C. Pull your weight做好分内事; D. Let off steam发泄怒火。根据答语“I will keep practising and try my best.(我会继续练习并尽我最大的努力)”可知,说话人并没有放弃,而是选择坚持到底,B项“Never say never(永不言弃)”表达的含义符合语境。

I brought the list back to Dad, but he ____28____ to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something ____29____ is said about you, and it is true, don’t let it annoy you — you’ll find this will be a great fortune for you. Our world is full of people who think they know what’s best for you. Don’t ____30____ your ears — listen to them all, but only hear the truth and do what you figure is ____31____.”
Dad’s advice has returned to me on many important ____32____. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. This experience teaches me how to treat ____33____ comments calmly and bravely.

B
My life experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by my hardworking single mother on Australia’s Gold Coast, I was encouraged to pursue higher education. Though I excelled academically, my passion was cooking, a path my mother hesitated to support due to its challenges. To please her, I enrolled in university while working part-time as a chef. However, my love for the kitchen soon overshadowed my studies, and I dropped out to pursue cooking full-time.
Over the next 12 years, I climbed the ranks as a chef, landing head chef positions in North Queensland. Life seemed perfect — I was engaged, had great friends and enjoyed stability. Yet, a lingering restlessness grew within me. A trip to Bali became a turning point. I realized I craved something beyond routine existence. Despite guilt, I walked away from my settled life, returning to my mother’s home on the Gold Coast.
Soon, I fell back into old patterns — working in kitchens and feeling unfulfilled. Then, Instagram changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. By 2012, my audience grew to 200,000 followers, and tourism boards began reaching out. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time.
The early days were tough. I created a “solo influencer package”, offering brands social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after. I traveled relentlessly — 50 trips a year at my peak — while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management.
Now, I run a multifaceted business, blending photography, social media, and travel. I co-founded the Travel Bootcamp, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour, combining my passions with conservation and community support.
My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Money is no longer the main driver — instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity, and purpose.

Tomatoes and fries make a tasty pair. But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal. Potatoes today might have evolved with the help of an early tomato, according to a new paper published in a leading scientific journal recently.
A team of scientists analyzed the genomes (基因组) of wild potatoes, tomatoes, and their ancestors. They found that each potato species contains a mix of genetics from tomatoes and a potato-like ancestor, suggesting the modern potato resulted from an event between the two. “This is one of the largest genomic collections of wild potatoes ever analyzed,” says Zhiyang Zhang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the lead author of the study.
Scientists already knew that tomatoes and potatoes were related to some degree — both belong to the Solanum (茄属植物) group, after all, along with the eggplant. And potatoes and tomatoes are each other’s closest living relatives. So, they took a closer look at their genes. Zhang and his team found that wild tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant genes called Etuberosum (无块茎茄属) around nine million years ago. Alone, neither plant had the genes to make these underground parts — but together, they could grow the feature.
That event, the authors suggest, occurred in the Andes Mountains. The underground parts allowed the potato to survive in this unforgiving habitat and spread across the world. They enabled plants to reproduce without seeds making them adaptable. “Evolving these underground parts gave potatoes a huge advantage in hard environments, fueling an explosion of new species,” says Sanwen Huang, a genome researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the study’s senior author, in a statement. Zhang’s team hopes that understanding the potato’s evolution can help scientists develop innovative ways to breed the species and make the food stronger today. Zhang is already looking into ways potatoes might be grown from seeds. Seed potatoes could be more genetically diverse and resistant to various risks, such as drought. The work also demonstrates how different species can be unexpectedly connected by evolution. “Next time you eat potatoes,” Huang adds, “thank a tomato.”
46. Why does the author mention “tomatoes and fries”?
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To show their different flavors.
C. To summarize the content of the text.
D. To compare their evolutionary patterns.
47. How did the scientists mainly conduct their study?
A. They checked some genetic information.
B. They observed the ancestor plants’ seeds.
C. They studied modern potatoes’ different fruits.
D. They analyzed potatoes and tomatoes’ relatives.
48. How did the underground parts of a plant grow out in ancient times according to the passage?
A. The potato developed the genes to adapt to dry environments.
B. Wild tomato genes were combined with a potato-like plant genes.
C. Tomatoes transferred their underground genes to potatoes in the Andes.
D. The potato seeds changed the genes of a potato-like plant.
49. What can be inferred about the underground parts of potatoes?
A. They have become less important for potato survival as the species spread globally.
B. They are directly responsible for the current ability of potatoes to resist drought.
C. Their development played a key role in helping potatoes adapt to harsh environments.
D. They were already present in wild potatoes before the species reached the Andes Mountains.
50. By saying “Next time you eat potatoes, thank a tomato”, what message does Sanwen Huang want to convey?
A. Tomatoes can improve the flavor of potatoes.
B. Different species may have unanticipated evolutionary links.
C. The key to planting stronger potatoes lies in breeding tomatoes.
D. Tomatoes can help improve potatoes’ living environments.

【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了现代土豆的进化源于番茄与类土豆植物的基因杂交。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Tomatoes and fries make a tasty pair. But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal. Potatoes today might have evolved with the help of an early tomato, according to a new paper published in a leading scientific journal recently.(西红柿和薯条是美味搭档。但西红柿和土豆之间的联系可能不止于做出一顿美餐。根据最近发表在领先科学期刊上的一篇新论文,如今的土豆可能是在早期西红柿的帮助下进化而来的)”可知,作者提到“西红柿和薯条”是为了引出本文关于土豆与西红柿进化关联的话题。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A team of scientists analyzed the genomes (基因组) of wild potatoes, tomatoes, and their ancestors.(一组科学家分析了野生土豆、西红柿及其祖先的基因组)”以及第三段中“So, they took a closer look at their genes.(所以,他们更仔细地观察了它们的基因)”可知,科学家主要通过检查基因信息(基因组)来进行研究。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Zhang and his team found that wild tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant genes called Etuberosum (无块茎茄属) around nine million years ago. Alone, neither plant had the genes to make these underground parts — but together, they could grow the feature.(张和他的团队发现,大约九百万年前,野生番茄与一种名为无块茎茄属(Etuberosum)的类土豆植物杂交。单独来看,这两种植物都没有产生这些地下部分的基因——但在一起,它们就能长出这一特征)”可知,古代植物的地下部分源于野生番茄基因与类土豆植物基因的结合。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The underground parts allowed the potato to survive in this unforgiving habitat and spread across the world.(这些地下部分使土豆能够在这一严酷的栖息地生存并传播到世界各地)”以及““Evolving these underground parts gave potatoes a huge advantage in hard environments, fueling an explosion of new species,” says Sanwen Huang, a genome researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the study’s senior author, in a statement.(“进化出这些地下部分给了土豆在艰难环境中的巨大优势,促使了大量新物种的爆发,”中国农业科学院的基因组研究员、该研究的资深作者黄三文在一份声明中说)”可知,地下部分的发育对土豆适应恶劣环境起了关键作用。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The work also demonstrates how different species can be unexpectedly connected by evolution. “Next time you eat potatoes,” Huang adds, “thank a tomato.”(这项研究还表明,不同物种是如何通过进化出人意料地联系在一起的。“下次你吃土豆的时候,”黄三文补充道,“感谢一下西红柿吧。”)”可知,黄三文想表达不同物种之间可能存在意想不到的进化联系。

A few years ago trainers were the footwear in fashion. Today the queues outside trainer stores are shorter and less frequent. Styles of trainers that once sold for more than four times their original price are being offered at a discount. Are customers running away from trainers?
“Sneaker culture is dead,” an influencer complained. “Sneakerheads” who trade in trainers worry that the Sneaker collecting market, valued at around $6 billion, is declining. Online marketplaces in France and the Netherlands have recently gone out of business. Sneakersnstuff, a European retailer, filed for bankruptcy in January 2025, citing “a global decline in the limited-edition sneakers market”.
The end of “the crazy pursuit of sneakers” is not the only reason why sneakers seem less trendy. In the past, brands restricted supply by using limited-edition releases to create excitement about specific collections. But recently they have pumped out lots of products, even restocking once-rare styles prized by collectors, says Dylan Dittrich, author of Sneakonomic (球鞋收藏经济) Growth, a book about sneaker collecting. Although this strategy can boost sales, it lowers demand and pushes prices down. Counterfeits (仿冒品) have also advanced in leaps and bounds. On Reddit, a social-media site, shoppers praise the high-quality sneaker replicas or fakes. But there is another, simpler reason why sneakers have slipped: changing fashions. Some styles are out of date. Pairs that are in fashion right now are better suited to athletics than auction houses (拍卖行).
Sneaker enthusiasts are being lured by other forms of footwear, such as boots, loafers (乐福鞋) and ballet flats. Sportswear firms are trying to cater to changing tastes. New Balance and Hoka have released loafers, and Adidas has created sneaker versions of Mary Jane shoes.
Meanwhile, sneaker collectors are seeking only what others do not have. In a sportswear auction at Sotheby’s, the world’s largest auction house, many Nike shoes sold for below their estimated value. The priciest pair, fetching $190,500, was worn and signed by Kobe Bryant, a basketball player who died in 2020. These days, Dittrich observes, “It takes a special sneaker to produce a special price.”
51. What does the underlined phrase “pumped out” mean?
A. Questioned persistently.
B. Energized by pumping.
C. Pumped water.
D. Produced something massively.
52. Which writing skill does the text mainly use to introduce sneakernomics?
A. Giving examples. B. Quoting figures.
C. Giving definitions. D. Using classification.
53. According to the text, which of the following is NOT a reason sneakers seem less trendy?
A. Crazy pursuit of Sneaker is coming to an end.
B. People’s preference is changing.
C. The global economy is shrinking.
D. The high-quality replicas are cost-efficient.
54. What is true about sneaker collectors nowadays?
A. They prefer sneakers that are hard for others to get.
B. They consider worn athlete-signed sneakers worthless.
C. They tend to sell their collections at lower estimated prices.
D. They no longer value limited-edition athletic footwear.
55. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To win back former customers by promoting sneakers.
B. To highlight the struggles of sneakernomics.
C. To honor Kobe Bryant’s impact.
D. To introduce the latest trends of sneakers.
【答案】51. D 52. A 53. C 54. A 55. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了曾经风靡一时的运动鞋文化正在衰落,分析了运动鞋市场遇冷的多重原因,包括消费者热情消退、品牌过度供应、仿冒品冲击以及时尚潮流变化等,并指出运动鞋收藏者如今追求的是稀缺独特的鞋款。
【51题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“In the past, brands restricted supply by using limited-edition releases to create excitement about specific collections. But recently they have pumped out lots of products, even restocking once-rare styles prized by collectors, says Dylan Dittrich, author of Sneakonomic (球鞋收藏经济) Growth, a book about sneaker collecting. (过去,品牌会通过限量发售的方式控制供货量,为特定系列制造热度。但《Sneakonomic Growth》(一本关于球鞋收藏的著作)的作者Dylan Dittrich表示,近来品牌pumped out产品,甚至重新补货那些曾被收藏者珍视的稀缺款式。)”可知,品牌方为了刺激销量 产品,pumped out意为“大量生产”。A. Questioned persistently (持续质疑);B. Energized by pumping (通过泵送注入能量);C. Pumped water (抽水);D. Produced something massively (大量生产)。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章在介绍运动鞋经济时大量使用了具体实例,如提到Sneakersnstuff破产、Dylan Dittrich的著作《Sneakonomic Growth》、New Balance和Hoka推出乐福鞋、Adidas推出玛丽珍鞋款、苏富比拍卖会上耐克鞋低于估价成交等。这些都是举例说明的手法,而非单纯列数据、下定义或分类。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The end of “the crazy pursuit of sneakers” is not the only reason why sneakers seem less trendy. (“疯狂追鞋”的结束并非运动鞋不再流行的唯一原因)”可知A项是原因之一;根据第三段“But there is another, simpler reason why sneakers have slipped: changing fashions. (但是还有一个更简单的原因:时尚在变化。)”可知B项是原因之一;根据第三段“Counterfeits (仿冒品) have also advanced in leaps and bounds. On Reddit, a social-media site, shoppers praise the high-quality sneaker replicas or fakes. (仿冒品同样发展迅猛。在社交媒体平台Reddit上,不少买家夸赞做工精良的复刻球鞋或者假货。)”可知,D项是原因之一。而文中并未提及全球经济萎缩是运动鞋不再流行的原因。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Meanwhile, sneaker collectors are seeking only what others do not have. (运动鞋收藏者只在寻找别人没有的东西。)”可知,如今收藏者偏好他人难以获得的独特鞋款。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章围绕运动鞋经济的衰落展开,分析了市场遇冷的多重原因——过度生产、仿冒品冲击、时尚变化、收藏者转向稀缺品等,核心目的是揭示当前运动鞋经济所面临的困境与挑战。

阅读表达
When I was 22 years old, I applied for a college course. The receptionist was surprised by the blank space under “educational history” on my application form.
I grew up in a Gypsy (吉普赛) family in the UK, and formal education was not part of daily life. Instead of sitting in classrooms, we learned from family, nature and experience.
Though I never attended school, I loved books. Through reading, I discovered history, science, literature and places far beyond my own world.
As I grew older, I realized many people misunderstood Gypsy families, thinking we didn’t want to learn or contribute to society. Others judged us simply because we lived differently. When I worked and traveled abroad, I often hid my background, fearing judgement.
Eventually, I decided it was time to challenge myself, getting out of my usual groove. The first months of college were difficult. Many classmates already knew things I had never learned. There were moments when I doubted myself, but I refused to give up. Step by step, I gained confidence. I completed the course with excellent results and later continued my studies at university.
Living in a city sometimes feels strange after spending my childhood surrounded by fields, forests and open skies. But I have never forgotten where my life and culture root.
Education changed my future, and it helped me understand that we do not have to choose between learning new things and respecting our own culture.
56. Why was the receptionist surprised when the author applied for the college course? (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
57. How did the author gain knowledge without formal schooling? (no more than 12 words)
________________________________________________________________
58. What does the underlined word “groove” in Paragraph 5 mean? (1 word)
________________________________________________________________
59. What did the author fear when he hid his Gypsy background? (no more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________
60. What lesson can we learn from the author’s story? Please state your opinion. (no more than 25 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Because his “educational history” part was blank.
57. He learned from books, family, nature and experience.
58. Pattern./Way./Style./Routine.
59. Judgement./He feared others’ judgement./He feared being judged.
60. We can keep learning to challenge ourselves while respecting our own culture./We should dare to challenge ourselves. Learning new things does not mean abandoning our own culture.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了出生于吉普赛家庭的作者,在没有接受过正规教育的情况下,通过自身努力考入大学并顺利完成学业,最终认识到接受教育与尊重自身文化并不冲突的故事。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“The receptionist was surprised by the blank space under “educational history” on my application form.(申请表上“教育经历”一栏空空如也,接待员对此十分诧异。)”可知,接待员惊讶是因为作者申请表的教育经历一栏是空白的。
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“Instead of sitting in classrooms, we learned from family, nature and experience.(我们不用坐在教室里上课,而是向家人学习、向自然学习、在亲身经历中学习。)”以及第三段“Through reading, I discovered history, science, literature and places far beyond my own world.(通过阅读,我接触到历史、科学、文学,见识到自己生活圈子之外广阔的天地。)”可知,作者通过书本、家人、大自然和生活经历获取知识。
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据文章第五段“Eventually, I decided it was time to challenge myself(最终,我决定该挑战自我了)”并结合上文作者一直过着没有正规教育的吉普赛生活、现在决定去上大学可推知,作者是要走出平时的“常规”或“生活方式”,groove在此处意为“常规,习惯”,与pattern/way/style/routine同义。
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“When I worked and traveled abroad, I often hid my background, fearing judgement.(我在国外工作、旅行时,常常隐瞒自己的出身,害怕受到评判。)”可推知,作者隐藏背景是因为害怕被别人评判。
【60题详解】
开放性题目。本题考查开放性回答,言之有理即可。根据最后一段“Education changed my future, and it helped me understand that we do not have to choose between learning new things and respecting our own culture.(教育改变了我的人生,也帮助我懂得:我们不必在学习新事物和尊重自身文化之间二选一。)”可知,我们能从作者的故事中学到,教育能改变未来,且学习新知识与尊重自身文化并不冲突。

第二节 完型填空(每题1.5分,共30分)
When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to ____16____ my shortcomings. Week by week, her list grew: I was very thin, I was rude, I talked too much, I was too proud… In a word, I was described by her as ____17____.
At first, I tried to keep optimistic, ____18____ not to care, but her constant criticism gradually made me ____19____ and embarrassed about myself. I tried to ____20____ all this as long as I could. But at last, I became very angry. I ran to Dad with ____21____ tears in my eyes, ready to ____22____ everything on that cruel girl.
He listened to me quietly and ____23____. Then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Ellen, didn’t you ever ____24____ what you’re really like? Well, you now have this girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said, as they may simply reflect her prejudice ____25____ the real you.”
Dad’s words took a load ____26____ my mind and I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true — some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could change — and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear ____27____ of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad, but he ____28____ to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something ____29____ is said about you, and it is true, don’t let it annoy you — you’ll find this will be a great fortune for you. Our world is full of people who think they know what’s best for you. Don’t ____30____ your ears — listen to them all, but only hear the truth and do what you figure is ____31____.”
Dad’s advice has returned to me on many important ____32____. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. This experience teaches me how to treat ____33____ comments calmly and bravely. I also learn that ____34____ is a crucial skill for personal growth, which helps me ____35____ my weak points and become a stronger person.

My life experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by my hardworking single mother on Australia’s Gold Coast, I was encouraged to pursue higher education. Though I excelled academically, my passion was cooking, a path my mother hesitated to support due to its challenges. To please her, I enrolled in university while working part-time as a chef. However, my love for the kitchen soon overshadowed my studies, and I dropped out to pursue cooking full-time.
Over the next 12 years, I climbed the ranks as a chef, landing head chef positions in North Queensland. Life seemed perfect — I was engaged, had great friends and enjoyed stability. Yet, a lingering restlessness grew within me. A trip to Bali became a turning point. I realized I craved something beyond routine existence. Despite guilt, I walked away from my settled life, returning to my mother’s home on the Gold Coast.
Soon, I fell back into old patterns — working in kitchens and feeling unfulfilled. Then, Instagram changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. By 2012, my audience grew to 200,000 followers, and tourism boards began reaching out. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time.
The early days were tough. I created a “solo influencer package”, offering brands social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after. I traveled relentlessly — 50 trips a year at my peak — while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management.
Now, I run a multifaceted business, blending photography, social media, and travel. I co-founded the Travel Bootcamp, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour, combining my passions with conservation and community support.
My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Money is no longer the main driver — instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity, and purpose.

Tomatoes and fries make a tasty pair. But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal. Potatoes today might have evolved with the help of an early tomato, according to a new paper published in a leading scientific journal recently.
A team of scientists analyzed the genomes (基因组) of wild potatoes, tomatoes, and their ancestors. They found that each potato species contains a mix of genetics from tomatoes and a potato-like ancestor, suggesting the modern potato resulted from an event between the two. “This is one of the largest genomic collections of wild potatoes ever analyzed,” says Zhiyang Zhang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the lead author of the study.
Scientists already knew that tomatoes and potatoes were related to some degree — both belong to the Solanum (茄属植物) group, after all, along with the eggplant. And potatoes and tomatoes are each other’s closest living relatives. So, they took a closer look at their genes. Zhang and his team found that wild tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant genes called Etuberosum (无块茎茄属) around nine million years ago. Alone, neither plant had the genes to make these underground parts — but together, they could grow the feature.
That event, the authors suggest, occurred in the Andes Mountains. The underground parts allowed the potato to survive in this unforgiving habitat and spread across the world. They enabled plants to reproduce without seeds making them adaptable. “Evolving these underground parts gave potatoes a huge advantage in hard environments, fueling an explosion of new species,” says Sanwen Huang, a genome researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the study’s senior author, in a statement. Zhang’s team hopes that understanding the potato’s evolution can help scientists develop innovative ways to breed the species and make the food stronger today. Zhang is already looking into ways potatoes might be grown from seeds. Seed potatoes could be more genetically diverse and resistant to various risks, such as drought. The work also demonstrates how different species can be unexpectedly connected by evolution. “Next time you eat potatoes,” Huang adds, “thank a tomato.”
46. Why does the author mention “tomatoes and fries”?
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To show their different flavors.
C. To summarize the content of the text.
D. To compare their evolutionary patterns.
47. How did the scientists mainly conduct their study?
A. They checked some genetic information.
B. They observed the ancestor plants’ seeds.
C. They studied modern potatoes’ different fruits.
D. They analyzed potatoes and tomatoes’ relatives.
48. How did the underground parts of a plant grow out in ancient times according to the passage?
A. The potato developed the genes to adapt to dry environments.
B. Wild tomato genes were combined with a potato-like plant genes.
C. Tomatoes transferred their underground genes to potatoes in the Andes.
D. The potato seeds changed the genes of a potato-like plant.
49. What can be inferred about the underground parts of potatoes?
A. They have become less important for potato survival as the species spread globally.
B. They are directly responsible for the current ability of potatoes to resist drought.
C. Their development played a key role in helping potatoes adapt to harsh environments.
D. They were already present in wild potatoes before the species reached the Andes Mountains.
50. By saying “Next time you eat potatoes, thank a tomato”, what message does Sanwen Huang want to convey?
A. Tomatoes can improve the flavor of potatoes.
B. Different species may have unanticipated evolutionary links.
C. The key to planting stronger potatoes lies in breeding tomatoes.
D. Tomatoes can help improve potatoes’ living environments.

A few years ago trainers were the footwear in fashion. Today the queues outside trainer stores are shorter and less frequent. Styles of trainers that once sold for more than four times their original price are being offered at a discount. Are customers running away from trainers?
“Sneaker culture is dead,” an influencer complained. “Sneakerheads” who trade in trainers worry that the Sneaker collecting market, valued at around $6 billion, is declining. Online marketplaces in France and the Netherlands have recently gone out of business. Sneakersnstuff, a European retailer, filed for bankruptcy in January 2025, citing “a global decline in the limited-edition sneakers market”.
The end of “the crazy pursuit of sneakers” is not the only reason why sneakers seem less trendy. In the past, brands restricted supply by using limited-edition releases to create excitement about specific collections. But recently they have pumped out lots of products, even restocking once-rare styles prized by collectors, says Dylan Dittrich, author of Sneakonomic (球鞋收藏经济) Growth, a book about sneaker collecting. Although this strategy can boost sales, it lowers demand and pushes prices down. Counterfeits (仿冒品) have also advanced in leaps and bounds. On Reddit, a social-media site, shoppers praise the high-quality sneaker replicas or fakes. But there is another, simpler reason why sneakers have slipped: changing fashions. Some styles are out of date. Pairs that are in fashion right now are better suited to athletics than auction houses (拍卖行).
Sneaker enthusiasts are being lured by other forms of footwear, such as boots, loafers (乐福鞋) and ballet flats. Sportswear firms are trying to cater to changing tastes. New Balance and Hoka have released loafers, and Adidas has created sneaker versions of Mary Jane shoes.
Meanwhile, sneaker collectors are seeking only what others do not have. In a sportswear auction at Sotheby’s, the world’s largest auction house, many Nike shoes sold for below their estimated value. The priciest pair, fetching $190,500, was worn and signed by Kobe Bryant, a basketball player who died in 2020. These days, Dittrich observes, “It takes a special sneaker to produce a special price.”
51. What does the underlined phrase “pumped out” mean?
A. Questioned persistently.
B. Energized by pumping.
C. Pumped water.
D. Produced something massively.
52. Which writing skill does the text mainly use to introduce sneakernomics?
A. Giving examples. B. Quoting figures.
C. Giving definitions. D. Using classification.
53. According to the text, which of the following is NOT a reason sneakers seem less trendy?
A. Crazy pursuit of Sneaker is coming to an end.
B. People’s preference is changing.
C. The global economy is shrinking.
D. The high-quality replicas are cost-efficient.
54. What is true about sneaker collectors nowadays?
A. They prefer sneakers that are hard for others to get.
B. They consider worn athlete-signed sneakers worthless.
C. They tend to sell their collections at lower estimated prices.
D. They no longer value limited-edition athletic footwear.
55. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To win back former customers by promoting sneakers.
B. To highlight the struggles of sneakernomics.
C. To honor Kobe Bryant’s impact.
D. To introduce the latest trends of sneakers.

When I was 22 years old, I applied for a college course. The receptionist was surprised by the blank space under “educational history” on my application form.
I grew up in a Gypsy (吉普赛) family in the UK, and formal education was not part of daily life. Instead of sitting in classrooms, we learned from family, nature and experience.
Though I never attended school, I loved books. Through reading, I discovered history, science, literature and places far beyond my own world.
As I grew older, I realized many people misunderstood Gypsy families, thinking we didn’t want to learn or contribute to society. Others judged us simply because we lived differently. When I worked and traveled abroad, I often hid my background, fearing judgement.
Eventually, I decided it was time to challenge myself, getting out of my usual groove. The first months of college were difficult. Many classmates already knew things I had never learned. There were moments when I doubted myself, but I refused to give up. Step by step, I gained confidence. I completed the course with excellent results and later continued my studies at university.
Living in a city sometimes feels strange after spending my childhood surrounded by fields, forests and open skies. But I have never forgotten where my life and culture root.
Education changed my future, and it helped me understand that we do not have to choose between learning new things and respecting our own culture.
