Personally, AI is a helpful partner rather than a replacement for teachers. AI brings great convenience to our study. For one thing, it can quickly correct homework and point out my grammar mistakes, saving teachers much time. For another, it offers personalized learning materials. When I struggle with English grammar, AI recommends targeted exercises for me to improve efficiently. However, AI has limits. It cannot comfort us when we feel stressed or explain knowledge flexibly like real teachers. Last month, I failed to understand a reading passage after checking AI’s analysis. My English teacher patiently talked me through the text and cheered me up, which AI could never achieve. In short, we should make good use of AI as a useful tool while valuing teachers’ unique warmth and guidance.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Why is Art so Powerful? Perhaps the simplest answer to this question is that art touches us emotionally. Art is powerful 1 it can potentially influence our culture, politics, and even the economy. When we see a powerful work of art, you feel 2 touching deep within your core, giving us the power to make real-life changes. It has the power to educate people about almost anything. It creates awareness and presents information in a way that could be absorbed by many easily. In a world 3 there are those who don’t even have access to good education, art makes education an even 4 (great) equalizer of society. It breaks cultural, social, and economic barriers. While art hardly really solves poverty or promotes social justice   5 its own, it can be used as a leveled playing field for discourse and expression. The reason why everyone can relate to art is 6 everyone has emotions and personal experiences. Therefore, anyone can learn to appreciate art regardless of their social background, economic standing or political affiliation. It accesses higher orders of thinking. Art doesn’t just make you absorb information. Rather, it makes you think about current ideas and inspire you   7 (make) your own. This is why creativity is a form of intelligence — it is a special ability that unlocks the potential of the human mind. In fact, studies have shown that exposure to art can make you better in other fields of knowledge. The truth is that people have recognized how powerful art can be. Many times in history have we heard of people   8 (criticize), threatened, censored, and even killed because of their artwork. Those responsible for these reactions, may it be an aggressive government or a dissident (持不同政见的) group, 9 (take) these measures against artists knowing how much their works can affect the politics in a 10 (give) area. In the hands of good people, however, art can be used to give back hope or instill courage in a society that’s undergoing a lot of hardships. 【答案】 1．because 2．it 3．where 4．greater 5．on 6．that 7．to make 8．being criticized 9．take 10．given 【导语】本文主要探讨了艺术为何具有强大的力量，从情感触动、教育功能、打破界限、激发高阶思维以及历史上因其影响力而遭受打压等多个角度进行了阐述。 【详解】1．考查连词。句意：艺术之所以强大，是因为它有可能影响我们的文化、政治甚至经济。分析句子逻辑，后文是前文“艺术强大”的原因，应用连词because引导原因状语从句。 2．考查代词。句意：当我们看到一件强大的艺术作品时，你会感觉到它深深地触动你的内心，赋予我们改变现实的力量。代词it指代前文的a powerful work of art（震撼的艺术作品），作 feel 的宾语。 3．考查定语从句。句意：在一个并非所有人都有机会获得良好教育的世界，艺术使教育成为社会更伟大的平衡器。此处为定语从句，修饰先行词world。先行词表示地点，且在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。 4．考查形容词比较级。句意同上。根据空前的even（甚至）可知，此处应用形容词great的比较级greater，表示“更伟大的”，作定语。 5．考查固定搭配。句意：虽然艺术本身几乎无法真正解决贫困或促进社会正义，但它可以作为一个公平的竞争平台用于讨论和表达。on one’s own 是固定搭配，意为“独自地，独立地”。此处用on its own表示“艺术自身”。 6．考查表语从句。句意：每个人都能与艺术产生共鸣的原因是每个人都有情感和个人经历。The reason why… is that… 是固定句型，意为“……的原因是……”，that引导表语从句。 7．考查非谓语动词。句意：相反，它让你思考当下的观念，并激励你去创造你自己的观念。inspire sb. to do sth. 是固定搭配，意为“激励某人做某事”。 8．考查非谓语动词。句意：在历史上，我们多次听说人们因为他们的作品而受到批评、威胁、审查甚至杀害。hear of sb./sth. doing sth. 意为“听说某人/某事做某事”。people与动词criticize之间是被动关系，且criticize的动作与谓语动词heard of同时发生，应用动名词的被动形式being criticized。 9．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：那些对这些（反应）负责的人，无论是激进的政府还是持不同政见的团体，采取这些措施来对付艺术家，是因为他们知道艺术家的作品能在特定地区对政治产生多大的影响。may it be...or...（无论是…… 还是……）是插入语，不影响主句谓语，空处为句子谓语，本句的主语是“Those responsible for these reactions”，为复数，且陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，谓语动词用原形。 10．考查形容词。句意同上。此处修饰名词area，应用形容词形式作定语。given可作形容词，意为“特定的，指定的”。 Section B (10分) 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．bond    B．boundaries    C． channel    D．constructed    E. existed    F. gradually G. relatable    H. reserved    I. personally    J. stood    K. visibility A Dangerous Relationship At nine, I formed an intense, entirely imaginary attachment to Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees, a 1960s TV-created pop band. He had long left the spotlight and, of course, didn’t know I 11 . Still, I drifted into a dream whenever Pleasant Valley Sunday played. Looking back, I now understand that The Monkees were a carefully 12 media product. Yet their success lay in how convincingly they created a sense of personal connection. On television, they broke the usual 13 , addressing viewers directly with playful glances. In interviews, they shared stories that felt personal and natural. By appearing open and slightly weak, they encouraged audiences to feel they truly knew them. This kind of one-sided emotional 14 , described as a “parasocial relationship,” is far from new. While working on an episode of Digital Human for BBC Radio 4, I came across earlier examples. One was Lonesome Gal, a radio voice from the mid-20th century who spoke gently to listeners. Her opening lines suggested exclusive devotion, creating the impression that each listener was 15 addressed. For many, she became a kind of imagined companion. Inevitably, such emotional closeness also provided a(n) 16 for persuasion — and for selling products. In today’s digital world, these relationships are everywhere — and often built on purpose. To attract attention, creators present themselves as open and 17 , encouraging followers to feel a personal connection. This works at first, especially when interaction still feels direct. However, as audiences grow, this model begins to fail. It is possible to reply to a few individuals, but not to thousands. As a result, what once felt like a genuine exchange 18 shifts into something less personal. Even so, the audience’s sense of connection remains. People continue to believe they know the person behind the screen, even when the interaction is limited. For creators, this creates a tension between 19 and privacy: they must stay engaging while protecting their own space. Unlike earlier forms of media, where agents or producers 20 in between, today’s online figures often face their audiences directly. And when relationships break down, there is rarely anyone to step in and manage the consequences. 【答案】 11．E 12．D 13．B 14．A 15．I 16．C 17．G 18．F 19．K 20．J 【导语】文章主要探讨了拟社会关系，讲述人们与影视、网络人物之间单方面的情感联结，以及这类关系的特点、演变与存在的矛盾。 【详解】11．考查动词。句意：他早已离开了聚光灯，当然，也不知道我的存在。宾语从句缺少谓语动词，exist表示“存在”，时态为一般过去时，因此填过去式existed。 12．考查非谓语动词。句意：回想起来，我现在明白The Monkees是一个精心构建的媒体产品。空格处修饰名词media product，constructed“被构建的”，符合句意，为过去分词作定语。 13．考查名词。句意：在电视上，他们打破了通常的界限，用俏皮的眼神直接与观众交流。空格处为broke的宾语，需填名词，boundaries“界限”为名词复数，符合句意。 14．考查名词。句意：这种单方面的情感纽带，被称为“准社会关系”，远非新鲜事物。空格处为名词作主语，bond“纽带；联系”，符合句意。 15．考查副词。句意：她的开场白暗示了专属的忠诚，营造出每位听众都被亲自对话的印象。空格处修饰动词addressed，需填副词，personally“亲自地”，符合句意。 16．考查名词。句意：不可避免地，这种情感上的亲密也为说服——以及推销产品——提供了一个渠道。空格处为provided的宾语，需填名词，channel“渠道”，符合句意。 17．考查形容词。句意：为了吸引注意力，创作者展现自己开放且容易产生共鸣的一面，鼓励粉丝感到一种个人联系。空格处与open并列，需填形容词，relatable“容易产生共鸣的”，符合句意。 18．考查副词。句意：结果，曾经感觉像真正交流的东西逐渐转变为不那么私人化的东西。分空格处修饰动词shifts，需填副词，gradually“逐渐地”，符合句意。 19．考查名词。句意：对创作者来说，这在可见性与隐私之间制造了一种张力：他们必须保持吸引力，同时保护自己的空间。空格处与privacy并列，需填名词，visibility“可见性；曝光度”，符合句意。 20．考查动词。句意：与早期的媒体形式不同，那时经纪人或制片人站在中间，如今的网络人物常常直接面对他们的受众。空格处为定语从句中的谓语动词，stood in between意为“站在中间”，符合句意。 II. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A (15分) Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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. In 1979, the US public was drawn to the “Jim twins,” a pair of identical twin brothers adopted at birth by different families who reunited at age 39. Their shared names were just the beginning of their 21 . Both worked in law enforcement, enjoyed carpentry, owned Chevrolets, and took vacations at the same beach in Florida. Even more striking, they both married women named Linda, divorced, and later married a Betty. The Jim twins inspired the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart, which compared 137 pairs of identical and non-identical twins raised 22 . This study was one of the first to show that around half of personality differences come from genetics, 23 the idea that we are born as blank slates (板). It highlighted the complexity of the nature VS nurture (培养)debate, a topic often 24 in discussions. In his book Unique: The New Science of Human Individuality, neuroscientist David Linden examines the latest research on the diverse factors that 25 human behavior and physiology. He explores how we are influenced by our genes, upbringing, and 26 , exploring a range of topics including how we sleep and perceive the world. One interesting aspect Linden discusses is our ability to 27 smells. While it may seem like a fixed trait (特点), research shows it is more 28 than we think. In high-income countries, the sense of smell is often considered less important than vision or hearing. 29 , hunter-gatherer communities like the Maniq of Thailand excel at identifying smells, likely due to their reliance on this ability for survival. This difference extends to 30 : the Maniq language includes 15 abstract words for smells, while English has few words to describe smells that aren't related to their source. Another important factor affecting 31 is the randomness of early development. Twin studies show that while about half of personality differences come from genetics, parenting has a 32 influence — usually less than 10%. Geneticist Robert Plomin suggests that much of the remaining variation comes from random events during brain development. Linden points out that “the wiring of the human brain is so complex that it can’t be precisely determined by a person’s DNA．” Small random changes in cell position or movement can lead to significant 33 in how the brain is wired and functions. Despite advancements in understanding brain development, many 34 remain. It’s unclear how many of the Jim twins’ coincidences originated from genetic similarities compared to randomness. While we are just beginning to 35 the complexities of the human brain, Linden’s work provides valuable insights that cast light on the nature of individuality. 21．A．struggle B．similarities C．reunion D．innovations 22．A．accordingly B．regionally C．consistently D．separately 23．A．challenging B．introducing C．exploring D．borrowing 24．A．understood B．hidden C．transitioned D．oversimplified 25．A．shape B．study C．exhibit D．justify 26．A．food B．exercise C．weather D．chance 27．A．depend upon B．battle with C．discriminate between D．consist in 28．A．stable B．obvious C．flexible D．weak 29．A．In contrast B．What’s more C．As a result D．By the way 30．A．loverhood B．discussion C．appearance D．language 31．A．adaptability B．individuality C．sustainability D．predictability 32．A．direct B．crucial C．minimal D．combined 33．A．improvements B．differences C．exceptions D．relationships 34．A．traces B．costs C．questions D．features 35．A．grasp B．avoid C．demand D．add 【答案】 21．B 22．D 23．A 24．D 25．A 26．D 27．C 28．C 29．A 30．D 31．B 32．C 33．B 34．C 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章探讨了人类个性的形成，通过“吉姆双胞胎”的案例引出先天与后天的复杂关系。 【详解】21．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们相同的名字只是相似之处的开始。A. struggle挣扎；B. similarities相似；C. reunion团聚；D. innovations创新。根据下文“Both worked in law enforcement, enjoyed carpentry, owned Chevrolets, and took vacations at the same beach in Florida. Even more striking, they both married women named Linda, divorced, and later married a Betty.”可知，他们有很多相似之处。故选B。 22．考查副词词义辨析。句意：吉姆双胞胎启发了明尼苏达分开抚养的双胞胎研究，该研究比较了137对分开抚养的同卵和异卵双胞胎。A. accordingly相应地；B. regionally地区性地；C. consistently一致地；D. separately分开地。根据上文“the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart”推知，研究的核心是分开抚养的双胞胎，故选D。 23．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这项研究首次表明，大约一半的性格差异来自基因，挑战了“白板论”的观点。A. challenging挑战；B. introducing介绍；C. exploring探索；D. borrowing借用。根据上文“This study was one of the first to show that around half of personality differences come from genetics, ”可知，研究发现基因影响性格，与“白板论”相悖，即挑战了“白板论”。故选A。 24．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它突出了先天与后天之争的复杂性，这是一个常被简化的话题。A. understood被理解的；B. hidden隐藏的；C. transitioned转型的；D. oversimplified简化的。根据“the complexity of the nature VS nurture ( 培养) debate”可知，先天和后天是一个复杂的问题，但常被简化讨论。故选D。 25．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在《独特：人类个性的新科学》一书中，神经科学家David Linden探讨了最新的研究，分析了塑造人类行为与生理的各种因素。A. shape塑造；B. study研究；C. exhibit展示；D. justify证明。根据下文“ He explores how we are influenced by our genes, upbringing”中的influence可知，此处指塑造人类的各种因素。故选A。 26．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他探讨了我们如何受到基因、养育和偶然因素的影响，并研究了一系列话题，包括我们如何睡眠以及如何感知世界。A. food食物；B. exercise锻炼；C. weather天气；D. chance偶然。根据下文“Geneticist Robert Plomin suggests that much of the remaining variation comes from random events during brain development.”可知，此处指偶然因素。故选D。 27．考查动词短语辨析。句意：Linden讨论的一个有趣方面是我们区分气味的能力。A. depend upon依赖；B. battle with斗争；C. discriminate between区分；D. consist in在于。根据下文“In high-income countries, the sense of smell is often considered less important than vision or hearing. 9 , hunter-gatherer communities like the Maniq of Thailand excel at identifying smells, likely due to their reliance on this ability for survival. ”可知，此处指辨别不同气味的能力，故选C。 28．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：虽然这看起来是一个固定的特点，但比我们想象的更灵活。A. stable稳定的；B. obvious明显的；C. flexible灵活的；D. weak弱的。根据“a fixed trait ”和表示转折的while可知，辨别不同气味的能力比我们想象中更灵活。故选C。 29．考查固定短语辨析。句意：相比之下，像泰国的玛尼族这样的狩猎采集社群，在识别气味方面表现出色，这很可能是因为他们在生存中高度依赖这种能力。A. In contrast相比之下；B. What’s more此外；C. As a result结果；D. By the way顺便。根据上文“In high-income countries, the sense of smell is often considered less important than vision or hearing.”可知，此处把低收入国家和高收入国家进行对比。故选A。 30．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这种差异延伸到了语言层面：玛尼语中有15个描述气味的抽象词汇，而英语中几乎没有与气味来源无关的、专门描述气味本身的词汇。A. loverhood恋爱状态；B. discussion讨论；C. appearance外貌；D. language语言。根据下文“the Maniq language includes 15 abstract words for smells, while English has few words to describe smells that aren't related to their source.”可知，这种差异延伸到了语言。故选D。 31．考查名词词义辨析。句意：影响个性的另一个重要因素是早期发展的随机性。A. adaptability适应性；B. individuality个性；C. sustainability可持续性；D. predictability可预测性。根据上文“This study was one of the first to show that around half of personality differences come from genetics”和下文“Linden’s work provides valuable insights that cast light on the nature of individuality.”可知，全文讨论的是个性形成，故选B。 32．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：双胞胎研究表明，虽然大约一半的性格差异来自遗传，但养育的影响很小，通常不到10%。A. direct直接的；B. crucial关键的；C. minimal最小的；D. combined综合的。根据“usually less than 10%”可知，研究表明养育影响通常很小。故选C。 33．考查名词词义辨析。句意：细胞位置或移动中的微小随机变化，可能会导致大脑连接方式和功能的显著差异。A. improvements改进；B. differences差异；C. exceptions例外；D. relationships关系。呼应上文“Small random changes ”，此处指微小随机变化导致大脑结构和功能的差异。故选B。 34．考查名词词义辨析。句意：尽管对大脑发育的理解有所进步，许多问题仍然存在。A. traces痕迹；B. costs成本；C. questions问题；D. features特征。根据下文“It’s unclear how many of the Jim twins’ coincidences originated from genetic similarities compared to randomness.”可知，科学研究仍有许多未解之谜，即许多问题仍然存在。故选C。 35．考查动词词义辨析。句意：尽管我们才刚刚开始理解人类大脑的复杂性，Linden的研究成果为揭示个性的本质提供了宝贵的见解。A. grasp理解；B. avoid避免；C. demand要求；D. add添加。结合上文的研究发现以及下文“the complexities of the human brain”可知，人类刚刚开始理解人类大脑的复杂性。故选A。 Section B (22分) Directions: Read the following three passages. 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 just read. （A） Often when we’re confronted with situations of feeling out of place or unqualified, we try to “fake it till we make it.” It doesn’t work — and trust me, I’ve tried. Years ago, when I was in college, I had an enduring feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt. As one of four females majoring in electrical engineering, I had a fear of being stereotyped so I tried to act the part of the masculine persona typical of engineering majors. I postured and pretended, but no matter what amount of “faking it” I put out, I found myself with more self-doubt than when I started. Even after college, in a new role at a company, I discovered that my go-to solution to the problems involved in constantly being on the outside of the “elite” in-circle was to, as a friend put it, act with the confidence of a “plain white male.” I am hardly the only person who has tried this approach to no avail. In one paper on authenticity, my colleagues and I have noted that being inauthentic has negative effects on perceptions of performance in the long term. This negative side certainly held true for me. Overwhelmingly, when I acted like a man — or how I thought a man would act — I got pushback. People saw me as aggressive. I felt superficial, came across as inauthentic and wasn’t getting the sort of support or social acceptance that my “elite” male peers were. But before long, I discovered that I too had the ability to make honest and authentic connections with senior leaders in my organization. Once I accidentally shared a ride with the senior VP of my division. Over the course of the drive, we had a natural conversation where I felt confident and comfortable. I asked him for advice on things that came up organically. And he saw that I was a smart, insightful person. He even invited me to give a presentation to his internal team. To this day, he remains one of my most trusted mentors. It’s important to remember that we all have something that others are judging us on. In the long term, on a macro level, posturing and faking it provides only temporary value. What ends up being more long-standing is a belief that inevitably holds people back — a feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt. We can’t try to cater to what we think others want, because we have no idea how to do that or exactly what they want. Instead, we have to be smart enough to seize chances to demonstrate who we really are, being unapologetic and confident. 36．The root cause of the author’s “faking it” is probably ________. A．her gender and major B．her self-doubt and fear C．her desire to be typical D．her confidence in males 37．What may be the negative effect of being inauthentic on a person who “fakes it”? A．Trying the approach of “fakes it” to no avail. B．Overwhelming perceptions of performance. C．Meeting resistance to the supposed aggression. D．Being regarded as unsupportive and unaccepted. 38．The author suggests that we should _________. A．remember to ask others to judge us on something B．eliminate the temporary value “fakes it” provides C．hold back the feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt D．display our true selves confidently at the right time 39．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Why “Fake It Till You Make It” Is Terrible Advice. B．Make It Rather Than Fake It Or Doubt Yourself. C．Stop Faking the Fake, Start Trusting the Trusted. D．Don’t Let the Chances Slip Through Your Fingers. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．D 39．A 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者结合自身经历指出，遇事刻意伪装自己并无用处，还会招致抵触、加深自我怀疑。唯有真诚待人、把握机会自信展现真实自我，才能收获认可与成长。 【详解】36．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Years ago, when I was in college, I had an enduring feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt. As one of four females majoring in electrical engineering, I had a fear of being stereotyped so I tried to act the part of the masculine persona typical of engineering majors. I postured and pretended, but no matter what amount of “faking it” I put out, I found myself with more self-doubt than when I started.( 多年前，当我还在上大学时，我一直有一种不确定和自我怀疑的感觉。作为电气工程专业中唯一的四位女生之一，我害怕被贴上刻板印象的标签，所以我就努力模仿工程专业学生通常所具有的男性形象。我摆姿势、假装自己，但无论我如何“假装”，我发现自己反而比刚开始时更加缺乏自信。)”可知，自我怀疑和对被刻板印象评判的恐惧，是作者试图伪装自己的核心驱动力。 37．推理判断题。根据第四段中“This negative side certainly held true for me. Overwhelmingly, when I acted like a man — or how I thought a man would act — I got pushback. People saw me as aggressive. I felt superficial, came across as inauthentic and wasn’t getting the sort of support or social acceptance that my “elite” male peers were.( 这种消极的一面对我来说当然是正确的。绝大多数情况下，当我表现得像个男人——或者我认为男人会有的样子——我都会遭到反对。人们会认为我咄咄逼人。我感觉自己肤浅，显得不真实，而且没有得到那些“精英”男性同龄人所拥有的那种支持或社会认可。)”可推知，不真实的伪装会让他人产生误解，将正常的表现误判为攻击性，进而引发抵触，这是直接的负面影响。 38．细节理解题。根据最后一段“We can’t try to cater to what we think others want, because we have no idea how to do that or exactly what they want. Instead, we have to be smart enough to seize chances to demonstrate who we really are, being unapologetic and confident.( 我们不能试图迎合我们认为别人想要的东西，因为我们不知道如何去做到这一点，也不知道他们到底想要什么。相反，我们必须足够聪明，抓住机会来展现真实的自我，要毫不退缩、充满自信地去做到这一点。)”可知，作者建议我们在恰当的时候自信地展现真实的自我。 39．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Often when we’re confronted with situations of feeling out of place or unqualified, we try to “fake it till we make it.”(通常，当我们遭遇感到格格不入或能力不足的情况时，我们往往会试图“先假装一切正常，直到真正做好为止”。)”和第二段“It doesn’t work—and trust me, I’ve tried.( 但这根本不起作用——相信我，我试过这种方法。)”可知，文章以“‘假装成功直到真的成功’行不通”开篇，通过作者的亲身经历和研究结果，详细论证了这种做法的长期危害，最后提出“做真实的自己”的正确观点。由此可知，这篇文章的最佳标题是A项“为何‘假装成功直到真的成功’这一建议实则糟糕”。 (B) Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed as opposed to ordinary zoos? Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals?We are revealing for you: 1. Right whales, Bay of Fundy, Canada Northern right whales are on the brink of extinction, but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer (May through October) to feed east of Grand Manan Island. They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin, which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay. Planning: Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands, such as Brier Island. St. Andrews. Grand Manan Island. and Deer Island. 2. Grizzly bears, Alaska Grizzlies like salmon. In mid-July and again in mid-August, grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws. The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools, sometimes fighting for the best sites. Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, and Fish Creek, near Hyder, have viewing platforms. Planning: Most fishing sites are reached by chartered light aircraft and a hike. Hyder is off the Swart-Cassiar Highway. 3. Monarch butterflies, Sierra Chincua, Mexico Each fall, millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyalmel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range, in the state of Mchoacdn. They flock intimately (closely) on tree trunks, bushes, and on the ground, fully showing their gregarious nature and occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighbouring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. Planning: Chineua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March. 4. Komodo dragons, Komodo Island, Indonesia Landing on Komodo, you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, as park maps reported, “Here be dragons!” This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world’s largest living lizard—the Komodo dragon. Weighing 79 to 91 kg. the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body. You can hike to a viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards, some of which are more than 10 ft (3 m) long. Planning: Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima (on eastern Sumbawa) or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores). 5. Wildebeest migration, Serengeti, Tanzania Undoubtedly the world’s most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when 1. 4 million wildebeest and 200, 000 zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains. The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass. Along the way, lions and hyenas stalk them, and crocodiles lie in wait. Planning: The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July, and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September. 40．The underlined word gregarious is closest in meaning to ________________. A．being able to climb B．preferring group living C．migrating in small numbers D．moderate in temper 41．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features. B．Viewing spots for grizzly bears are accessible by air and on foot. C．Komodo Island is located east of Flores and West of Sumbawa D．Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions. 42．Li Hua is an adventurous visitor longing for closer look at animals. He is taking a gap year and doing voluntary work now in Indonesia. He will go back to China and further his study next fall. Which of the following will be the most reasonable wildlife-watching route after he finishes his voluntary work this winter? A．Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti B．Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua C．Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska D．Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy 【答案】40．B 41．C 42．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了几个观察动物的好去处。 40．词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“They flock intimately (closely) on tree trunks, bushes, and on the ground…(它们亲密地（亲密地）聚集在树干、灌木丛和地上)”可知，北美帝王蝶喜欢聚集性飞行，由此可知，这一点展示了它们的群居性，“preferring group living”意为“更喜欢群居”，能够表达划线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。 41．细节理解题。根据“Komodo dragons, Komodo Island, Indonesia”部分关键句“Planning: Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima (on eastern Sumbawa) or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores). (规划：科莫多只能从比马（松巴哇岛东部）或纳闽巴霍（弗洛雷斯岛西部）乘船抵达)”可知，科莫多岛位于弗洛雷斯岛西部，松巴哇岛东部，由此可知，C项“科莫多岛位于弗洛雷斯以东，松巴哇以西”描述与文章不一致。故选C项。 42．细节理解题。根据问题可知，李华应该从北美洲沿路观光，向亚洲前进，最后回到中国，结合地理知识可知，应该先到“Sierra Chincua”，位于“墨西哥”，接下来前进到“Serengeti”，位于“坦桑尼亚”，接下来到达“Alaska”，位于“美国”，最后到达“Bay of Fundy”，位于“加拿大”，最后回到中国。故选D项。 (C) You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours? According to a new study published in the journal Nature in September, this phenomenon arises from a function in our brain to ignore the noise we make ourselves. In order to explore how our brain does this, a group of scientists carried out an experiment with mice at Duke University. The research entered on an intuition-that we are usually unaware of the sound of our own footsteps-as a vehicle for understanding larger neural phenomena; how this behavior reveals the ability to monitor, recognize, and remember the sound of one’s own movements in relation to those of their larger environments. In the experiment, research controlled the sounds of a group of mice could hear, reported Science Daily. During the first several days, the mice would hear the same sound each time they took a step. This was just like “running on a tiny piano with each key playing exactly the same note”, senior study author Richard Mooney, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, told Live Science. Scientists found that their auditory cortex (听觉皮层) – the area of the brain that processes sound –became active at first but decreased its response to the sound after two or three minutes when the mice became familiar with it. “ It’s almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their own movements.” David Schneider, an assistant professor at the Center for Neutral Science at New York University, told HuffPost. But once the sound changed, their auditory cortex became active again. This suggests that the “sensory filter” in a mouse’s brain could help it detect new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds. “For mice, this is really important,” said Schneider. “They are prey animals, so they really need to be able to listen for a cat creeping up on them, even when they’re walking and making noise. Being able to ignore the sounds of one’s own movements is likely important for humans as well. But the ability to predict the sounds of our own actions is also important for more complex human behaviors such as speaking or playing an instrument. “When we learn to speak or to play music, we predict what sounds we are going to hear – such as when we prepare to strike keys on a piano – and we compare this to what we actually hear, “explains Schneider. “We use mismatches between expectation and experience to change how we play – and we get better over time because our brain is trying to minimize these errors.” 43．What can be discovered about mice in the experiment? A．Their brain responds inactively to the familiar sounds B．They are able to detect sounds other animals don’t notice. C．They cannot identify different sounds except their own footsteps. D．Different areas of their brain are responsible for different sounds. 44．What’s the function of the sensory filter? A．Ignoring the sounds made by our companions. B．Getting used to abnormal or unfamiliar sounds. C．Identifying the sounds from a larger environment. D．Being sensitive to the sounds of our own movement. 45．Why can a good symphony conductor immediately recognize it when a wrong note is played? A．He has the ability to match the wrong note with the instrument player. B．He has an intuition that he should ignore the sound of his own movement. C．He has a low expectation and knows where players are likely to make errors. D．He has a good prediction of how each note should be played in the orchestra. 46．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Noise-filtering ability ensures us a quiet and undisturbed environment. B．The ability to ignore familiar noises helps to detect potential dangers. C．The activeness of auditory cortex determines our activity performance. D．Sound-predicting ability seems not so important for humans as for animals. 【答案】43．A 44．C 45．D 46．B 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了根据9月份发表在《自然》杂志上的一项新研究表明人类拥有忽视熟悉的噪音的能力，即忽视我们自己发出的噪音，文章说明了得出这一结论的实验过程，实验结果说明能够忽视自己动作的声音对人类来说很重要。 43．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第四段中This suggests that the “sensory filter” in a mouse’s brain could help it detect new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds.（这表明，老鼠大脑中的“感觉过滤器”可以帮助它在排除熟悉的声音后，更容易地检测到环境中的新声音或异常噪音）。由此可知，老鼠的大脑对熟悉的声音反应迟钝。结合选项，故选A。 44．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第五段中It’s almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their own movements.（这就像他们戴着特殊的耳机，可以过滤掉自己运动的声音）。由此可以推断出，这种过滤器可以识别来自大环境中的声音。结合选项，故选C。 45．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中Being able to ignore the sounds of one’s own movements is likely important for humans as well. But the ability to predict the sounds of our own actions is also important for more complex human behaviors such as speaking or playing an instrument.（能够忽略自己动作的声音对人类来说可能也很重要。但是，预测我们自己行动的声音的能力，对于更复杂的人类行为，比如说话或演奏乐器也很重要。）由此可以推知，一个好的交响乐指挥家在一个错误的音符被演奏时，能立即识别它，因为他能够预测出每个音符在管弦乐队中应该如何演奏。结合选项，故选D。 46．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours?（你走在一条安静的街道上，突然听到一些脚步声。毫无疑问，这意味着周围有人。但你有没有想过，为什么我们会想到这是别人的脚步，而不是我们的?）由此可以判断出，如果人类有忽视熟悉噪音的能力，有助于发现潜在危险。结合选项，故选B。 【点睛】推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了作出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，作出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。如本题第四小题，根据文章第一段中You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours?（你走在一条安静的街道上，突然听到一些脚步声。毫无疑问，这意味着周围有人。但你有没有想过，为什么我们会想到这是别人的脚印，而不是我们的?）由此可以判断出，如果人类有忽视熟悉噪音的能力，有助于发现潜在危险。结合选项，故选B。 Section C (8分) 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. The Man Who Invented the Future Known as the father of science fiction, Jules Verne’s works transported readers on exciting adventures across the Earth and beyond. In his imaginative novels, Verne penned more than adventure stories. 47 In In the Year 2889, Verne described a world with global multimedia communication. The character is able to communicate with his wife on another continent, using the “phonotelephote” — a device capable of sending sound and images over long distances. In From the Earth to the Moon, Verne even envisioned a lunar voyage decades before the first actual moon landing. Unlike fantasies or supernatural tales, Verne’s works focused on imagining the future. 48 This approach laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century, which emphasized the importance of scientific accuracy. Verne was an advocate of scientific progress and innovation. 49 Many of his stories feature brilliant yet mad scientists. For example, characters like Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea use their inventions for destructive purposes, suggesting that it is human nature, not the technology itself, that determines whether it becomes a force for good or harm. 50 He shapes the way generations think about technology and the human mind’s potential. That is the greatest achievement of Verne’s timeless works. A．But his writings offer a different perspective. B．Verne’s influence extends far beyond literature. C．This method required extraordinary talents and scientific insights. D．His visions were grounded in science and his own thorough research. E．His tales may reduce the popularity of supernatural stories to some extent. F．He also imagined technological advancements long before they became reality. 【答案】47．F 48．D 49．A 50．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科幻小说之父儒勒·凡尔纳的重要地位以及他的作品特点。 47．根据上文“Known as the father of science fiction, Jules Verne’s works transported readers on exciting adventures across the Earth and beyond. In his imaginative novels, Verne penned more than adventure stories.(儒勒·凡尔纳被誉为科幻小说之父，他的作品将读者带到了地球上甚至更远的地方进行激动人心的冒险。在他富有想象力的小说中，凡尔纳写的不仅仅是冒险故事)”以及第二段“In In the Year 2889, Verne described a world with global multimedia communication. The character is able to communicate with his wife on another continent, using the “phonotelephote” — a device capable of sending sound and images over long distances. In From the Earth to the Moon, Verne even envisioned a lunar voyage decades before the first actual moon landing.(在《2889年》中，凡尔纳描述了一个全球多媒体通信的世界。这个角色可以用“phonotelephote”——一种能够远距离发送声音和图像的设备——与他在另一个大陆上的妻子交流。在《从地球到月球》中，凡尔纳甚至在人类首次真正登月的几十年前就设想了一次月球航行)”可知，本句承上启下，说明凡尔纳的故事想象了一些当时并不存在的技术。故F选项“早在技术进步成为现实之前，他就已经在想象了”符合语境，与上文构成并列关系递进关系。故选F。 48．根据上文“Unlike fantasies or supernatural tales, Verne’s works focused on imagining the future.(与幻想或超自然故事不同，凡尔纳的作品侧重于对未来的想象)”以及后文“This approach laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century, which emphasized the importance of scientific accuracy.(这种方法为20世纪的“硬科幻小说”奠定了基础，它强调科学准确性的重要性)”可知，本句主要说明凡尔纳为20世纪的“硬科幻小说”奠定了基础的具体方法是什么。故D选项“他的想象是建立在科学和他自己的深入研究的基础上的”符合语境，故选D。 49．根据上文“Verne was an advocate of scientific progress and innovation.(凡尔纳是科学进步和创新的倡导者)”以及后文“Many of his stories feature brilliant yet mad scientists. For example, characters like Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea use their inventions for destructive purposes, suggesting that it is human nature, not the technology itself, that determines whether it becomes a force for good or harm.(他的许多故事都描写了才华横溢却又疯狂的科学家。例如，像《海底两万里》中的尼莫船长这样的角色将他们的发明用于破坏性目的，这表明是人类的本性，而不是技术本身，决定了它是成为一种好还是坏的力量)”可知，本句与上文构成转折关系，指出凡尔纳的作品为技术提供了一个不同的视角。故A选项“但他的作品提供了一个不同的视角”符合语境，故选A。 50．根据后文“He shapes the way generations think about technology and the human mind’s potential. That is the greatest achievement of Verne’s timeless works.(他塑造了几代人对技术和人类思维潜力的看法。这是凡尔纳不朽作品的最大成就)”可知，本段主要说明了凡尔纳的影响力。故B选项“凡尔纳的影响远远超出了文学”符合语境，故选B。 III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible. Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts (武术). Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment”, three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time? A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth, however, is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves. A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle time now. Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year-old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves — our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As the new school term draws near, parents find it really tough to reject various after-school enrichment classes for their young children, which greatly dismays many frontline educators.

Personally, AI is a helpful partner rather than a replacement for teachers. AI brings great convenience to our study. For one thing, it can quickly correct homework and point out my grammar mistakes, saving teachers much time. For another, it offers personalized learning materials. When I struggle with English grammar, AI recommends targeted exercises for me to improve efficiently. However, AI has limits. It cannot comfort us when we feel stressed or explain knowledge flexibly like real teachers. Last month, I failed to understand a reading passage after checking AI’s analysis. My English teacher patiently talked me through the text and cheered me up, which AI could never achieve. In short, we should make good use of AI as a useful tool while valuing teachers’ unique warmth and guidance.

It creates awareness and presents information in a way that could be absorbed by many easily. In a world 3 there are those who don’t even have access to good education, art makes education an even 4 (great) equalizer of society. It breaks cultural, social, and economic barriers. While art hardly really solves poverty or promotes social justice   5 its own, it can be used as a leveled playing field for discourse and expression. The reason why everyone can relate to art is 6 everyone has emotions and personal experiences. Therefore, anyone can learn to appreciate art regardless of their social background, economic standing or political affiliation. It accesses higher orders of thinking. Art doesn’t just make you absorb information. Rather, it makes you think about current ideas and inspire you   7 (make) your own. This is why creativity is a form of intelligence — it is a special ability that unlocks the potential of the human mind. In fact, studies have shown that exposure to art can make you better in other fields of knowledge. The truth is that people have recognized how powerful art can be. Many times in history have we heard of people   8 (criticize), threatened, censored, and even killed because of their artwork. Those responsible for these reactions, may it be an aggressive government or a dissident (持不同政见的) group, 9 (take) these measures against artists knowing how much their works can affect the politics in a 10 (give) area. In the hands of good people, however, art can be used to give back hope or instill courage in a society that’s undergoing a lot of hardships.

He had long left the spotlight and, of course, didn’t know I 11 . Still, I drifted into a dream whenever Pleasant Valley Sunday played. Looking back, I now understand that The Monkees were a carefully 12 media product. Yet their success lay in how convincingly they created a sense of personal connection. On television, they broke the usual 13 , addressing viewers directly with playful glances. In interviews, they shared stories that felt personal and natural. By appearing open and slightly weak, they encouraged audiences to feel they truly knew them. This kind of one-sided emotional 14 , described as a “parasocial relationship,” is far from new. While working on an episode of Digital Human for BBC Radio 4, I came across earlier examples. One was Lonesome Gal, a radio voice from the mid-20th century who spoke gently to listeners. Her opening lines suggested exclusive devotion, creating the impression that each listener was 15 addressed. For many, she became a kind of imagined companion. Inevitably, such emotional closeness also provided a(n) 16 for persuasion — and for selling products. In today’s digital world, these relationships are everywhere — and often built on purpose. To attract attention, creators present themselves as open and 17 , encouraging followers to feel a personal connection. This works at first, especially when interaction still feels direct. However, as audiences grow, this model begins to fail. It is possible to reply to a few individuals, but not to thousands. As a result, what once felt like a genuine exchange 18 shifts into something less personal. Even so, the audience’s sense of connection remains. People continue to believe they know the person behind the screen, even when the interaction is limited. For creators, this creates a tension between 19 and privacy: they must stay engaging while protecting their own space. Unlike earlier forms of media, where agents or producers 20 in between, today’s online figures often face their audiences directly. And when relationships break down, there is rarely anyone to step in and manage the consequences. II. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A (15分) Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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. In 1979, the US public was drawn to the “Jim twins,” a pair of identical twin brothers adopted at birth by different families who reunited at age 39. Their shared names were just the beginning of their 21 . Both worked in law enforcement, enjoyed carpentry, owned Chevrolets, and took vacations at the same beach in Florida. Even more striking, they both married women named Linda, divorced, and later married a Betty. The Jim twins inspired the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart, which compared 137 pairs of identical and non-identical twins raised 22 . This study was one of the first to show that around half of personality differences come from genetics, 23 the idea that we are born as blank slates (板). It highlighted the complexity of the nature VS nurture (培养)debate, a topic often 24 in discussions. In his book Unique: The New Science of Human Individuality, neuroscientist David Linden examines the latest research on the diverse factors that 25 human behavior and physiology. He explores how we are influenced by our genes, upbringing, and 26 , exploring a range of topics including how we sleep and perceive the world. One interesting aspect Linden discusses is our ability to 27 smells. While it may seem like a fixed trait (特点), research shows it is more 28 than we think. In high-income countries, the sense of smell is often considered less important than vision or hearing. 29 , hunter-gatherer communities like the Maniq of Thailand excel at identifying smells, likely due to their reliance on this ability for survival. This difference extends to 30 : the Maniq language includes 15 abstract words for smells, while English has few words to describe smells that aren't related to their source. Another important factor affecting 31 is the randomness of early development. Twin studies show that while about half of personality differences come from genetics, parenting has a 32 influence — usually less than 10%. Geneticist Robert Plomin suggests that much of the remaining variation comes from random events during brain development. Linden points out that “the wiring of the human brain is so complex that it can’t be precisely determined by a person’s DNA．” Small random changes in cell position or movement can lead to significant 33 in how the brain is wired and functions. Despite advancements in understanding brain development, many 34 remain. It’s unclear how many of the Jim twins’ coincidences originated from genetic similarities compared to randomness. While we are just beginning to 35 the complexities of the human brain, Linden’s work provides valuable insights that cast light on the nature of individuality. 21．A．struggle B．similarities C．reunion D．innovations 22．A．accordingly B．regionally C．consistently D．separately 23．A．challenging B．introducing C．exploring D．borrowing 24．A．understood B．hidden C．transitioned D．oversimplified 25．A．shape B．study C．exhibit D．justify 26．A．food B．exercise C．weather D．chance 27．A．depend upon B．battle with C．discriminate between D．consist in 28．A．stable B．obvious C．flexible D．weak 29．A．In contrast B．What’s more C．As a result D．By the way 30．A．loverhood B．discussion C．appearance D．language 31．A．adaptability B．individuality C．sustainability D．predictability 32．A．direct B．crucial C．minimal D．combined 33．A．improvements B．differences C．exceptions D．relationships 34．A．traces B．costs C．questions D．features 35．A．grasp B．avoid C．demand D．add Section B (22分) Directions: Read the following three passages. 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 just read. （A） Often when we’re confronted with situations of feeling out of place or unqualified, we try to “fake it till we make it.” It doesn’t work — and trust me, I’ve tried. Years ago, when I was in college, I had an enduring feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt. As one of four females majoring in electrical engineering, I had a fear of being stereotyped so I tried to act the part of the masculine persona typical of engineering majors. I postured and pretended, but no matter what amount of “faking it” I put out, I found myself with more self-doubt than when I started. Even after college, in a new role at a company, I discovered that my go-to solution to the problems involved in constantly being on the outside of the “elite” in-circle was to, as a friend put it, act with the confidence of a “plain white male.” I am hardly the only person who has tried this approach to no avail. In one paper on authenticity, my colleagues and I have noted that being inauthentic has negative effects on perceptions of performance in the long term. This negative side certainly held true for me. Overwhelmingly, when I acted like a man — or how I thought a man would act — I got pushback. People saw me as aggressive. I felt superficial, came across as inauthentic and wasn’t getting the sort of support or social acceptance that my “elite” male peers were. But before long, I discovered that I too had the ability to make honest and authentic connections with senior leaders in my organization. Once I accidentally shared a ride with the senior VP of my division. Over the course of the drive, we had a natural conversation where I felt confident and comfortable. I asked him for advice on things that came up organically. And he saw that I was a smart, insightful person. He even invited me to give a presentation to his internal team. To this day, he remains one of my most trusted mentors. It’s important to remember that we all have something that others are judging us on. In the long term, on a macro level, posturing and faking it provides only temporary value. What ends up being more long-standing is a belief that inevitably holds people back — a feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt. We can’t try to cater to what we think others want, because we have no idea how to do that or exactly what they want. Instead, we have to be smart enough to seize chances to demonstrate who we really are, being unapologetic and confident. 36．The root cause of the author’s “faking it” is probably ________. A．her gender and major B．her self-doubt and fear C．her desire to be typical D．her confidence in males 37．What may be the negative effect of being inauthentic on a person who “fakes it”? A．Trying the approach of “fakes it” to no avail. B．Overwhelming perceptions of performance. C．Meeting resistance to the supposed aggression. D．Being regarded as unsupportive and unaccepted. 38．The author suggests that we should _________. A．remember to ask others to judge us on something B．eliminate the temporary value “fakes it” provides C．hold back the feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt D．display our true selves confidently at the right time 39．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Why “Fake It Till You Make It” Is Terrible Advice. B．Make It Rather Than Fake It Or Doubt Yourself. C．Stop Faking the Fake, Start Trusting the Trusted. D．Don’t Let the Chances Slip Through Your Fingers. (B) Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed as opposed to ordinary zoos? Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals?We are revealing for you: 1. Right whales, Bay of Fundy, Canada Northern right whales are on the brink of extinction, but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer (May through October) to feed east of Grand Manan Island. They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin, which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay. Planning: Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands, such as Brier Island. St. Andrews. Grand Manan Island. and Deer Island. 2. Grizzly bears, Alaska Grizzlies like salmon. In mid-July and again in mid-August, grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws. The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools, sometimes fighting for the best sites. Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, and Fish Creek, near Hyder, have viewing platforms. Planning: Most fishing sites are reached by chartered light aircraft and a hike. Hyder is off the Swart-Cassiar Highway. 3. Monarch butterflies, Sierra Chincua, Mexico Each fall, millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyalmel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range, in the state of Mchoacdn. They flock intimately (closely) on tree trunks, bushes, and on the ground, fully showing their gregarious nature and occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighbouring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. Planning: Chineua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March. 4. Komodo dragons, Komodo Island, Indonesia Landing on Komodo, you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, as park maps reported, “Here be dragons!” This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world’s largest living lizard—the Komodo dragon. Weighing 79 to 91 kg. the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body. You can hike to a viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards, some of which are more than 10 ft (3 m) long. Planning: Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima (on eastern Sumbawa) or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores). 5. Wildebeest migration, Serengeti, Tanzania Undoubtedly the world’s most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when 1. 4 million wildebeest and 200, 000 zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains. The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass. Along the way, lions and hyenas stalk them, and crocodiles lie in wait. Planning: The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July, and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September. 40．The underlined word gregarious is closest in meaning to ________________. A．being able to climb B．preferring group living C．migrating in small numbers D．moderate in temper 41．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features. B．Viewing spots for grizzly bears are accessible by air and on foot. C．Komodo Island is located east of Flores and West of Sumbawa D．Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions. 42．Li Hua is an adventurous visitor longing for closer look at animals. He is taking a gap year and doing voluntary work now in Indonesia. He will go back to China and further his study next fall. Which of the following will be the most reasonable wildlife-watching route after he finishes his voluntary work this winter? A．Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti B．Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua C．Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska D．Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy (C) You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours? According to a new study published in the journal Nature in September, this phenomenon arises from a function in our brain to ignore the noise we make ourselves. In order to explore how our brain does this, a group of scientists carried out an experiment with mice at Duke University. The research entered on an intuition-that we are usually unaware of the sound of our own footsteps-as a vehicle for understanding larger neural phenomena; how this behavior reveals the ability to monitor, recognize, and remember the sound of one’s own movements in relation to those of their larger environments. In the experiment, research controlled the sounds of a group of mice could hear, reported Science Daily. During the first several days, the mice would hear the same sound each time they took a step. This was just like “running on a tiny piano with each key playing exactly the same note”, senior study author Richard Mooney, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, told Live Science. Scientists found that their auditory cortex (听觉皮层) – the area of the brain that processes sound –became active at first but decreased its response to the sound after two or three minutes when the mice became familiar with it. “ It’s almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their own movements.” David Schneider, an assistant professor at the Center for Neutral Science at New York University, told HuffPost. But once the sound changed, their auditory cortex became active again. This suggests that the “sensory filter” in a mouse’s brain could help it detect new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds. “For mice, this is really important,” said Schneider. “They are prey animals, so they really need to be able to listen for a cat creeping up on them, even when they’re walking and making noise. Being able to ignore the sounds of one’s own movements is likely important for humans as well. But the ability to predict the sounds of our own actions is also important for more complex human behaviors such as speaking or playing an instrument. “When we learn to speak or to play music, we predict what sounds we are going to hear – such as when we prepare to strike keys on a piano – and we compare this to what we actually hear, “explains Schneider. “We use mismatches between expectation and experience to change how we play – and we get better over time because our brain is trying to minimize these errors.” 43．What can be discovered about mice in the experiment? A．Their brain responds inactively to the familiar sounds B．They are able to detect sounds other animals don’t notice. C．They cannot identify different sounds except their own footsteps. D．Different areas of their brain are responsible for different sounds. 44．What’s the function of the sensory filter? A．Ignoring the sounds made by our companions. B．Getting used to abnormal or unfamiliar sounds. C．Identifying the sounds from a larger environment. D．Being sensitive to the sounds of our own movement. 45．Why can a good symphony conductor immediately recognize it when a wrong note is played? A．He has the ability to match the wrong note with the instrument player. B．He has an intuition that he should ignore the sound of his own movement. C．He has a low expectation and knows where players are likely to make errors. D．He has a good prediction of how each note should be played in the orchestra. 46．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Noise-filtering ability ensures us a quiet and undisturbed environment. B．The ability to ignore familiar noises helps to detect potential dangers. C．The activeness of auditory cortex determines our activity performance. D．Sound-predicting ability seems not so important for humans as for animals.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Man Who Invented the Future Known as the father of science fiction, Jules Verne’s works transported readers on exciting adventures across the Earth and beyond. In his imaginative novels, Verne penned more than adventure stories. 47 In In the Year 2889, Verne described a world with global multimedia communication. The character is able to communicate with his wife on another continent, using the “phonotelephote” — a device capable of sending sound and images over long distances. In From the Earth to the Moon, Verne even envisioned a lunar voyage decades before the first actual moon landing. Unlike fantasies or supernatural tales, Verne’s works focused on imagining the future. 48 This approach laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century, which emphasized the importance of scientific accuracy. Verne was an advocate of scientific progress and innovation. 49 Many of his stories feature brilliant yet mad scientists. For example, characters like Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea use their inventions for destructive purposes, suggesting that it is human nature, not the technology itself, that determines whether it becomes a force for good or harm. 50 He shapes the way generations think about technology and the human mind’s potential. That is the greatest achievement of Verne’s timeless works. A．But his writings offer a different perspective. B．Verne’s influence extends far beyond literature. C．This method required extraordinary talents and scientific insights. D．His visions were grounded in science and his own thorough research. E．His tales may reduce the popularity of supernatural stories to some extent. F．He also imagined technological advancements long before they became reality. III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible. Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts (武术). Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment”, three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time? A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth, however, is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves. A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle time now. Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year-old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves — our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
