B When I was 14, my parents made me volunteer at Greenfield Animal Shelter as punishment for skipping math class. “You need to learn responsibility, ” Mom said, handing me a brightly colored uniform that was too big. The shelter smelled like wet fur and disinfectant (消毒剂) ; and my job was cleaning cages — washing food from bowls and sticky floors. On my third Saturday, I noticed a golden retriever named Max. His cage card said his owner had passed away, and he’d been at the shelter for three months. Unlike other dogs, Max covered in the corner, shaking at every noise. When I entered his kennel, he flattened himself into a trembling pancake. “He’s sweet but scared of everything,” Ms. Torres, a shelter worker, told me. She showed me old injuries on his legs from when he’d tried to bite through the bars. I decided to spend my breaks with Max. At first, I just sat near his food bowl, reading aloud from a book. His breathing slowed to whispers. Soon, he let me touch his ears. When I dropped my keys, he stepped back but stayed. “You’re making progress,” Ms. Torres said one day. “But don’t get too attached. Dogs like him rarely get adopted.” I didn’t listen. I brought him a tennis ball, and we played fetch in the outdoor pen. His tail wagged a little more each time. One rainy day, he licked (舔) my hand, and I, with tears in my eyes, felt a lump in my throat. Then, one morning, a family stopped at Max’s kennel. The youngest girl called him a “golden cloud.” Max didn’t hide. He walked forward, tail wagging, and licked her fingers. As they filled out the adoption papers, I hid in the storage closet, hugging my knees. I heard their laughter, the jingle of Max’s new collar, and the sound of the door shutting. When I came out, Ms. Torres smiled. “You did good, kid,” she said. Max taught me that courage isn’t about being fearless – it’s about taking small steps toward something bigger. Now, whenever I’m scared to try something new, I remember his wagging tail and the day he trusted the world again. 41. Why did the author’s parents make her volunteer at the animal shelter? A.

Small Steps to Courage C. A Day at the Animal Shelter D. The Importance of Responsibility C 17 million Americans with major depressive disorder each year may soon receive a surprising new prescription: have fun on a virtual reality device. Engaging in activities that make people with severe depression feel good may seem like overly simplistic advice. But the science behind this idea, called “behavioral activation”, is well established. Multiple studies have found that encouraging people to get outside or socialize can help ease the symptoms of depression. Now, researchers have discovered that engaging in enjoyable activities with a virtual reality system may be as effective in treating depression as taking depression patients out in the real world. And for those depressed to a level that makes leaving the house a challenge, it could provide the benefits of getting outside. A study by the team followed twenty-six people with major depressive disorder. Thirteen people were assigned traditional behavioral activation, engaging with real life activities by going on outings in their community or socializing with friends. The other thirteen people received a VR headset to participate in activities ranging from playing table tennis to touring foreign cities. After four weeks, both groups saw a significant decrease in their symptoms of depression and their depression ratings. Moreover, many people who had used the VR devices said the virtual activities had helped push them to get out of the house and be more involved in in-person activities. A researcher said, “These virtual activities got their motors running just enough to get out of bed.” The only negative feedback is learning how to set up the device, as well as the need for alerts or reminders to keep people accountable for engaging in the behavioral activation. The researchers have since developed a companion VR behavioral activation app that helps address some of these concerns. The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to administer virtual behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment. They also think more efforts are needed to inform clinicians about how to prescribe VR behavioral activation appropriately. They believe the cost and ease of many VR platforms make it an easy treatment to scale up. 46. Which of the following is the best example of “behavioral activation” for people with depression? A. Watching a cooking show on TV at home. B. Reading mystery novels alone in the study. C. Participating in a local charity event with others. D. Playing single player video games on a computer. 47. How did the team conduct the study? A. By interviewing the patients in hospital. B. By keeping track of two groups’ transformations. C. By using VR to simulate the patients’ conditions. D. By comparing VR therapy with medicine treatment. 48. What does the team think of the VR treatment? A. Complex. B. Effective. C. Secure. D. Exceptional. 49. What specific aspect do the researchers plan to further explore regarding VR treatment? A. The suitable strategies for applying VR treatment. B. The acceptance of the VR treatment for patients. C. The development of a VR behavioral activation app. D. The cost of popularizing VR platforms. 50. According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred? A. VR treatment is already the mainstream in clinics. B. The VR app will soon replace face-to-face-therapy. C. Traditional activation has outperformed VR activation. D. VR success may boost non-traditional therapy research D In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. 51. What problem does the digital age present in learning? A. Too much information. B. Learning to inaction. C. Online distractions. D. Technical issues. 52. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find relevant information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 53. Why is practical experience important in the learning process? A. It replaces continuous learning. B. It is irrelevant in gaining knowledge. C. It holds back theoretical understanding. D. It offers a comprehensive understanding. 54. The example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to ________. A. compare different learning styles B. show the importance of making mistakes C. emphasize the need for parental guidance D. explain learning through action and experience 55. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Paradox of Information Overload B. The Harmony of Learning and Doing C. The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge D. The Process of Learning to Walk 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein. Last week, she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Fein has had a full life. She has raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. “I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed,” Fein said. She said she made up her mind to major in sociology. Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995. Fein, despite her life experiences, had a strong desire to earn a bachelor’s degree. She found joy in reading, writing papers, and learning new things. Taking advantage of a state program, she joined around 2,000 others aged 65 and older in Texas who attend public university classes for free. Although less than 1% of U.S. college students are in this age group, health experts believe continuing education later in life can help maintain fitness. Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes. Her college advisor was Sheila Rollerson. She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. “She kept working hard at her studies and in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect,” Rollerson said. Renee Brown, one of Fein’s caregivers, found inspiration from her. At 53, Brown plans to begin nursing school, encouraged by Fein’s words of confidence and the fulfillment that comes with achievement. 56. What goal did Fein reach last week?

(no more than 1 word) ________________________________________________________________ 58. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

There were good things and bad things about them. A. Couldn’t be better B. Let’s stick to the point C. That’s something D. It’s really hard to say 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——这是一次美妙的旅行。那么，你更喜欢哪个城市，巴黎还是罗马？——这很难说。它们有好的一面，也有坏的一面。A. Couldn’t be better不能再好了；B. Let’s stick to the point让我们紧扣主题吧；C. That’s something真是了不起；D. It’s really hard to say这很难说。由“There were good things and bad things about them”可知，两个城市都有好的一面，也有坏的一面，因此很难说更喜欢哪个，因此空格处意为“这很难说”，故选D。 2. Bella always creates a friendly work atmosphere in her office, ________ her colleagues feel relaxed. A. where B. which C. when D. that 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：Bella总是在办公室营造友好的工作氛围，在这种氛围下她的同事感到放松。此处考查非限制性定语从句，先行词是atmosphere，关系词在从句中作抽象地点状语，表示“在这种氛围中”，用关系副词where引导。 3. The newly-opened supermarket attracts a ________ stream of consumers every day, especially during the weekends. A. constant B. alternative C. slight D. flexible 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这家新开的超市每天都吸引源源不断的顾客，尤其是在周末。A. constant持续的；B. alternative可供选择的；C. slight轻微的；D. flexible灵活的。根据后文“stream of consumers every day”可知，此处表示源源不断、持续不断的客流。 4. ________ a large salary rise already, Sarah is thinking of buying a new apartment. A. Receiving B. Received C. To receive D. Having received 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：因为已经获得了一大笔加薪，萨拉正考虑买一套新公寓。句中逻辑主语Sarah与动词receive之间是主动关系，且根据句中的“already”可知，receive这一动作发生在谓语动词is thinking之前，因此需用现在分词的完成式（having done）作原因状语。 5.

A. will study B. will have studied C. is to study D. has studied 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：当她今年夏天从学院毕业时，她将在这里已经学习了四年。分析句子语境，可知她现在还没有毕业，要到这里学习应该用一般将来时，结合for four years，可知将来要学习四年，用将来完成时。will have studied符合题意。故选B项。 6. The group leader, as well as dozens of team members, ________ by the judges after the competition concluded last Saturday. A. is praised B. are praised C. was praised D. were praised 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：上周六比赛结束后，组长以及几十名队员受到了评委们的表扬。当主语后面带有as well as, together with, along with等词组时，谓语动词的单复数由前面的主语决定。本句中前面的主语The group leader为单数，故谓语动词应使用单数形式。根据时间状语last Saturday可知，动作发生在过去，需用一般过去时；且主语与动词praise之间为被动关系，需用被动语态。因此，空格处应填入一般过去时的单数被动形式was praised。 7. ________ Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize for her great discovery has inspired many young students to pursue careers in science. A. What B. That C. When D. Why 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：屠呦呦因重大发现获得诺贝尔奖这件事，激励了许多年轻学生投身科学事业。分析句子可知，“________ Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize for her great discovery”是句子主语，空后主谓宾句子结构和语义均完整，此空应是that引导主语从句。故选B项。 8. Before you start your road trip along Highway318, please call the local centre to ________ the road conditions.

The shelter smelled like wet fur and disinfectant (消毒剂) ; and my job was cleaning cages — washing food from bowls and sticky floors. On my third Saturday, I noticed a golden retriever named Max. His cage card said his owner had passed away, and he’d been at the shelter for three months. Unlike other dogs, Max covered in the corner, shaking at every noise. When I entered his kennel, he flattened himself into a trembling pancake. “He’s sweet but scared of everything,” Ms. Torres, a shelter worker, told me. She showed me old injuries on his legs from when he’d tried to bite through the bars. I decided to spend my breaks with Max. At first, I just sat near his food bowl, reading aloud from a book. His breathing slowed to whispers. Soon, he let me touch his ears. When I dropped my keys, he stepped back but stayed. “You’re making progress,” Ms. Torres said one day. “But don’t get too attached. Dogs like him rarely get adopted.” I didn’t listen. I brought him a tennis ball, and we played fetch in the outdoor pen. His tail wagged a little more each time. One rainy day, he licked (舔) my hand, and I, with tears in my eyes, felt a lump in my throat. Then, one morning, a family stopped at Max’s kennel. The youngest girl called him a “golden cloud.” Max didn’t hide. He walked forward, tail wagging, and licked her fingers. As they filled out the adoption papers, I hid in the storage closet, hugging my knees. I heard their laughter, the jingle of Max’s new collar, and the sound of the door shutting. When I came out, Ms. Torres smiled. “You did good, kid,” she said. Max taught me that courage isn’t about being fearless – it’s about taking small steps toward something bigger. Now, whenever I’m scared to try something new, I remember his wagging tail and the day he trusted the world again. 41. Why did the author’s parents make her volunteer at the animal shelter? A. To correct her misbehavior. B. To encourage her to adopt a pet. C. To expose her to more job opportunities. D. To meet a requirement for her school course. 42. What does the word “covered” mean in paragraph 2? A. jumped excitedly B. hid up in fear C. barked loudly D. stared angrily 43. What was Max’s reaction when the little girl approached him? A. He became anxious and barked loudly. B. He grew braver and showed love. C. He tried to escape by biting through the bars. D. He remained in the corner, avoiding any interaction. 44. How did the author feel towards Max? A. Fearful and shy B. Impatient but sincere C. Caring and concerned D. Distant but thoughtful 45. What is the best title for the story? A. A Once Fearful Dog B. Small Steps to Courage C. A Day at the Animal Shelter D. The Importance of Responsibility 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. B 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述作者14岁时因逃课被父母送到格林菲尔德动物收容所做志愿者作为惩罚。在那里，她遇到了一只因主人去世而被遗弃、极度恐惧的金毛犬Max。通过耐心陪伴，她帮助Max逐渐恢复信任，最终被一个家庭收养。这个过程不仅改变了Max，也让作者领悟到勇气的真正含义。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“When I was 14, my parents made me volunteer at Greenfield Animal Shelter as punishment for skipping math class.(当我14岁时，父母让我去格林菲尔德动物收容所做志愿者，作为我逃数学课的惩罚)”可知，作者父母让她做志愿者是为了纠正她的错误行为。故选A项。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的描述“Max… in the corner, shaking at every noise. When I entered his kennel, he flattened himself into a trembling pancake.(Max在角落里……，对每个声音都发抖。当我走进狗舍时，他把自己压成一张发抖的薄饼)”可知，Max因极度恐惧而蜷缩在角落。因此，“covered”在此处意为“因害怕而躲藏”。故选B项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中描述“Then, one morning, a family stopped at Max’s kennel. The youngest girl called him a “golden cloud.” Max didn’t hide. He walked forward, tail wagging, and licked her fingers(小女孩叫他‘金色的云’。Max没有躲藏，他走上前去，摇着尾巴，舔了舔她的手指)”可知，Max面对小女孩时表现得勇敢且充满爱意。故选B项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I decided to spend my breaks with Max. At first, I just sat near his food bowl, reading aloud from a book.(我决定把休息时间都用来陪Max。起初，我就坐在他的食盆旁，大声读书)”以及倒数第四段“One rainy day, he licked my hand, and I, with tears in my eyes, felt a lump in my throat.(一个下雨天，他舔了我的手，我眼含泪水，喉咙哽咽)”可知，作者决定把休息时间都用来陪Max，在雨天的时候，Max舔作者的手，作者眼含泪水，喉咙哽咽，可推知，作者对Max充满关爱与关切。故选C项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When I was 14, my parents made me volunteer at Greenfield Animal Shelter as punishment for skipping math class. “You need to learn responsibility,” Mom said, handing me a a brightly colored uniform that was too big. The shelter smelled like wet fur and disinfectant (消毒剂) ; and my job was cleaning cages — washing food from bowls and sticky floors(在我14岁那年，因为我逃掉了数学课，父母罚我去格林菲尔德动物收容所做志愿者。妈妈一边说着“你得学会承担责任”，一边递给我一套颜色鲜艳却过大的工作服。收容所里弥漫着湿漉漉的皮毛和消毒剂的气味；而我的工作就是打扫笼子——清洗食盆里的残留食物和黏糊糊的地板)”以及最后一段“Max taught me that courage isn’t about being fearless – it’s about taking small steps toward something bigger. Now, whenever I’m scared to try something new, I remember his wagging tail and the day he trusted the world again(麦克斯教会我，勇气并非无所畏惧——而是朝着更宏大的目标迈出微小的步伐。如今每当我对尝试新事物感到害怕时，总会想起它欢快摇摆的尾巴，以及它重新信任这个世界的那一天)”可知，文章开头讲述作者因逃避责任被惩罚做志愿者，结尾点明主题：Max教会我，勇气不是无所畏惧，而是朝着更大的目标迈出一小步。所以全文围绕Max从恐惧到重新信任世界的过程，以及作者从中获得的成长展开。因此，B项“Small Steps to Courage(迈向勇气的一小步)”最能概括文章的核心思想，适合用作文章标题。故选B项。 C 17 million Americans with major depressive disorder each year may soon receive a surprising new prescription: have fun on a virtual reality device. Engaging in activities that make people with severe depression feel good may seem like overly simplistic advice. But the science behind this idea, called “behavioral activation”, is well established. Multiple studies have found that encouraging people to get outside or socialize can help ease the symptoms of depression. Now, researchers have discovered that engaging in enjoyable activities with a virtual reality system may be as effective in treating depression as taking depression patients out in the real world. And for those depressed to a level that makes leaving the house a challenge, it could provide the benefits of getting outside. A study by the team followed twenty-six people with major depressive disorder. Thirteen people were assigned traditional behavioral activation, engaging with real life activities by going on outings in their community or socializing with friends. The other thirteen people received a VR headset to participate in activities ranging from playing table tennis to touring foreign cities. After four weeks, both groups saw a significant decrease in their symptoms of depression and their depression ratings. Moreover, many people who had used the VR devices said the virtual activities had helped push them to get out of the house and be more involved in in-person activities. A researcher said, “These virtual activities got their motors running just enough to get out of bed.” The only negative feedback is learning how to set up the device, as well as the need for alerts or reminders to keep people accountable for engaging in the behavioral activation. The researchers have since developed a companion VR behavioral activation app that helps address some of these concerns. The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to administer virtual behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment. They also think more efforts are needed to inform clinicians about how to prescribe VR behavioral activation appropriately. They believe the cost and ease of many VR platforms make it an easy treatment to scale up. 46. Which of the following is the best example of “behavioral activation” for people with depression? A. Watching a cooking show on TV at home. B. Reading mystery novels alone in the study. C. Participating in a local charity event with others. D. Playing single player video games on a computer. 47. How did the team conduct the study? A. By interviewing the patients in hospital. B. By keeping track of two groups’ transformations. C. By using VR to simulate the patients’ conditions. D. By comparing VR therapy with medicine treatment. 48. What does the team think of the VR treatment? A. Complex. B. Effective. C. Secure. D. Exceptional. 49. What specific aspect do the researchers plan to further explore regarding VR treatment? A. The suitable strategies for applying VR treatment. B. The acceptance of the VR treatment for patients. C. The development of a VR behavioral activation app. D. The cost of popularizing VR platforms. 50. According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred? A. VR treatment is already the mainstream in clinics. B. The VR app will soon replace face-to-face-therapy. C. Traditional activation has outperformed VR activation. D. VR success may boost non-traditional therapy research 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. B 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虚拟现实技术可能为治疗重度抑郁症患者带来新的希望。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But the science behind this idea, called ‘behavioral activation’, is well established. Multiple studies have found that encouraging people to get outside or socialize can help ease the symptoms of depression.(但这种被称为“行为激活”的想法背后的科学已经得到了充分证实。多项研究发现，鼓励人们外出或社交有助于缓解抑郁症的症状)”可知，“行为激活”强调参与社交或户外活动。C选项“Participating in a local charity event with others.(与其他人一起参加当地的慈善活动)”符合“社交”的定义，是“行为激活”的最好例子。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A study by the team followed twenty-six people with major depressive disorder.

The other thirteen people received a VR headset to participate in activities ranging from playing table tennis to touring foreign cities.(该团队的一项研究跟踪了26名重度抑郁症患者。13人被分配了传统的行为激活，通过在社区外出或与朋友社交来参与现实生活活动。另外13人获得了一个VR头戴式耳机，参加了从打乒乓球到游览外国城市的各种活动)”可知，该实验研究通过跟踪两组患者的变化进行对比。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“After four weeks, both groups saw a significant decrease in their symptoms of depression.(四周后，两组患者的抑郁症状均显著减轻)”及第五段“The researchers have since developed a companion VR behavioral activation app.(研究人员随后开发了配套的 VR 行为激活应用程序)”可推知，团队认为VR治疗是有效的。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to administer virtual behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment.(该团队表示，需要更大规模和更长期的研究来找到管理虚拟行为激活的最佳方法，以及哪些患者群体可能是VR治疗的最佳目标)”可知，研究人员计划进一步探索应用VR治疗的合适策略。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They believe the cost and ease of many VR platforms make it an easy treatment to scale up.(他们认为许 VR平台的成本和易用性使其易于推广)”及全文对VR治疗有效性的阐述可推断，VR治疗的成功可能推动非传统疗法的研究。故选D。 D In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. 51. What problem does the digital age present in learning? A. Too much information. B. Learning to inaction. C. Online distractions. D. Technical issues. 52. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find relevant information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 53. Why is practical experience important in the learning process? A. It replaces continuous learning. B. It is irrelevant in gaining knowledge. C. It holds back theoretical understanding. D. It offers a comprehensive understanding. 54. The example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to ________. A. compare different learning styles B. show the importance of making mistakes C. emphasize the need for parental guidance D. explain learning through action and experience 55. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Paradox of Information Overload B. The Harmony of Learning and Doing C. The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge D. The Process of Learning to Walk 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. D 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇议论文。在数字时代，过量的信息会造成学习停滞的问题，因此，在学习过程中，实践经验能帮助我们更全面的理解学习的知识，从而实现目标。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.(在今天的数字时代，海量的信息只需点击一下，问题就来了：一个人会不会学得太多？因为没有人能掌握人类的全部知识。然而，有一种现象是，过度学习可能导致无所作为，一种被太多信息淹没的状态)”可知，数字时代给学习提供了太多的信息。故选A项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.(你首先要进行广泛的研究，深入研究这个主题。当你吸收的信息越多，你的理解力就越差。每一个新的概念或策略都揭示出更深的层次，使目标看起来更加复杂和遥不可及)”可知，过多的信息会让理解变得更加复杂和遥不可及，即使理解变得更混乱。故选C项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.(实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和实践之间取得平衡。收集必要的信息，然后迅速采取行动，即使你觉得有些措手不及。这通常是最好的学习方式，因为实践经验提供了理论知识无法提供的见解)”可知，在学习过程中，实际经验是重要的，因为它可以通过实践帮助理解信息，提供一个全面的理解。故选D项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.(实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和实践之间取得平衡。收集必要的信息，然后迅速采取行动，即使你觉得有些措手不及。这通常是最好的学习方式，因为实践经验提供了理论知识无法提供的见解)”和倒数第二段“A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.(婴儿不是通过坐着和分析走路的过程来学习走路的。相反，它通过尝试走路和摔倒来学习，然后从每次跌倒中了解什么有用，什么没用。通过反复的努力，最终学会了走路。这种方法也适用于目标实现。通过参与行动，从结果中学习，并做出相应的调整，你会逐渐接近你的目标)”可知，通过“婴儿学习走路”的例子可以解释通过行动和经验来学习这个观点。故选D项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章全文，尤其是最后一段“In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations.(总之，虽然追求知识是有价值的，但重要的是不要让它成为行动的障碍。学习应该是行动的垫脚石，而不是目的本身。只有通过收集知识和应用知识的相互作用，我们才能真正朝着我们的愿望前进)”可知，本文介绍在学习过程中，应将信息和实践相结合，这样能更好地实现目标。B选项“学与做的和谐”与本文主旨相符。故选B项。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein. Last week, she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Fein has had a full life. She has raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. “I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed,” Fein said. She said she made up her mind to major in sociology. Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995. Fein, despite her life experiences, had a strong desire to earn a bachelor’s degree. She found joy in reading, writing papers, and learning new things. Taking advantage of a state program, she joined around 2,000 others aged 65 and older in Texas who attend public university classes for free. Although less than 1% of U.S. college students are in this age group, health experts believe continuing education later in life can help maintain fitness. Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes. Her college advisor was Sheila Rollerson. She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. “She kept working hard at her studies and in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect,” Rollerson said. Renee Brown, one of Fein’s caregivers, found inspiration from her. At 53, Brown plans to begin nursing school, encouraged by Fein’s words of confidence and the fulfillment that comes with achievement. 56. What goal did Fein reach last week? (no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________ 57. What’s the meaning of the underlined words in Paragraph 4? (no more than 1 word) ________________________________________________________________ 58. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? (no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________ 59. Why did Fein take online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements? (no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________ 60. What can you learn from the story? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. She received her bachelor’s degree. 57. Decided/Determined. 58. Fein’s early life. 59. For her poor health. 60. Never give up, and we will realize our goals finally. (答案不唯一) 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述84岁的Janet Fein坚持学习，克服困难，最终拿到学士学位的励志故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein. Last week, she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas.(这位女士是84岁的珍妮特·费恩。上周，她拿到了得克萨斯大学达拉斯分校的学士学位)”可知，费恩上周实现的目标是拿到学士学位。 【57题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第四段中“I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed,” Fein said. She said she made up her mind to major in sociology.(“退休后我无事可做，我觉得玩宾果游戏不适合我，”费恩说。她说她made up her mind主修社会学)”可知，费恩觉得退休后无事可做，所以下定决心选择社会学专业，故画线短语意思是“决定”。 【58题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第五段中“Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16.(费恩在纽约市布朗克斯区度过童年，她家当时家境贫寒。高中提前毕业后，16岁的她就在一家服装制造厂做秘书。)”以及“Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995. (一生中，费恩从事过多种工作，其中有20年在达拉斯一家医院担任秘书，她2012年从该岗位退休。她还花费20年时间攻读副学士学位，并于1995年取得该学位。)”可知，本段主要介绍费恩早年的生活经历。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第六段中“Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes.(尽管健康状况不断变差，费恩仍然坚持，依靠助行器和氧气，通过网课完成剩余学位要求)”可知，费恩上网课完成剩余学业是因为她身体状况不好。 【60题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你能从这个故事中学到什么？请解释一下。（不超过20字）答案不唯一，合理即可。根据第六段中“Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes. (尽管健康状况变差，费恩依然坚持学习，面对重重困难从未放弃)”以及第七段中“She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties.(她说，即便困难重重，费恩也从未表现出放弃的迹象。)”可知，费恩84岁依旧坚持学习并拿到学位，由此可知，我们可以学习她永不放弃、追逐目标的精神。 第二节：书面表达（共25分） 61. 假定你是高中生李津，请向校英文报“Sports and Health”栏目投稿，给同学们推荐一项适合课间进行的运动，内容包括： （1）介绍这项运动； （2）说明推荐理由； （3）呼吁大家进行体育锻炼。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，以使内容充实、行文连贯。 Sports Make Us Better ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Sports Make Us Better As a high school student, I highly suggest skipping rope as a perfect exercise during the 10-minute break between classes. It is simple, requiring only a lightweight rope and a small space, yet it works almost every major muscle group in our body. There are several reasons why I recommend it. First, a quick three-minute session can refresh our tired eyes and stiff shoulders after long periods of sitting. Second, it boosts blood circulation, which helps us stay focused and energetic for the next class. Best of all, it can be done alone or with friends, making it both fun and social. Let’s put down our pens, pick up a rope, and move! 【解析】 【导语】本篇是应用文写作。要求考生写一篇短文向校英文报“Sports and Health”栏目投稿，向同学们推荐一项适合课间开展的运动。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 推荐：suggest → recommend 促进：boost → promote 专注的：focused → concentrated 精力旺盛的：energetic → vigorous 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：As a high school student, I highly suggest skipping rope as a perfect exercise during the 10-minute break between classes. 拓展句：As a high school student, I highly suggest that we should skip rope as a perfect exercise during the 10-minute break between classes. 【点睛】[高分句型1] There are several reasons why I recommend it.
