B My small backyard had been ignored for years with overgrown weeds and dry soil.Last summer,I decided to transform it:I bought seeds,soil,and basic tools,cager to start my gardening project. The first few weeks were disheartening.The seeds either failed to grow or were eaten by birds.I watered diligently,adjusted sunlight,and tended to them constantly,yet nothing grew.I was ready to quit,convinced I had no green thumb.One afternoon,my neighbor Mr.Henderson,who tended his roses daily,watched me and said gently:"You're trying too hard.Plants need care,but also space to grow on their own." His words made sense.I relaxed:watered less often,let rain do its part,and stopped overthinking.Soon. tiny green buds emerged.By August,my backyard bloomed with color and scent.I'd sit there evenings,tasting tea, amazed by their beauty. Then a storm hit-strong winds knocked over my sunflower stalks ()Heartbroken,I planned to pull them up,but Mr.Henderson appeared again:"Don't give up.The strongest plants survive storms-they'll heal if you give them a chance.” Weeks later,those sunflowers stood taller and stronger,their golden heads turning to the sun.I realized gardening wasn't just about growing plants.All things have their own rhythm of recovery,what we struggle to control often fails,while what we gently trust finds its way back to light.The world does not always bend to our hurry,and neither do the things we care for.Some winds are meant to strengthen us,not break us. This summer,I'll plant more seeds,both in the garden and in my heart.Growth takes time,and even life's hardest moments are our greatest teachers. 39.What does the underlined phrase"green thumb"in paragraph 2 mean? A.The ability to select seeds. B.A natural talent for gardening. C.The habit of tending flowers. D.A preference for green plants. 40.How did the author respond to Mr.Henderson's advice? A.She let nature take its course. B She stopped watering the seeds. C.She invited him to teach her. D.She learned to accept her mistakes. 41.Why does the author mention the sunflowers? A.To show the risks of gardening. B.To highlight the power of storms C To stress the weakness of sunflowers. D.To illustrate the toughness of plants. 42.Which of the following best describes the author's personality? A.Curious and organized B Courageous and respectful. C.Reflective and determined. D.Disciplined and independent. C Has your child ever washed up a cup or put out the bins?Have they made their bed,ironed a shirt or helped to lay the table? Only 44%of all 14 and 15-year-olds,according to a survey by Parentkind,help with chores.Some parents in the 21st century may just be too nice.Instead of letting children stay in their rooms playing games all day, bringing them cups of tea,or asking if they want a chat,it would be better to teach them to wash the kitchen floor, hang up the cloths,and take out the trash. Children increasingly aren't given any responsibilities at home.Only 18%of those aged 16 to 24 have ever had a paid part-time job,compared with 48%of tcenagers who had part-time jobs at the turn of the century. Children no longer work hard for their pockct money,wecding for their neighbour or babysitting.Money just arrives in their bank account.Besides,there is an understandable belief that Gencration Z have had a tough time. Children are told by their parents to focus on their grades and to practise sport.As a result,parents have become kinder fathers and mothers,less prepared to have fights over cleaning or demand their daughter walks to school. However,there is a strong link between those who do the most housework and those who succeed at school. As Jason,the chief executive of Parentkind,points out,"Chores are not punishment;they are the first lessons in teamwork and self-reliance."These habits evidently develop into responsibility at school and reliability at work. If parents want happier and healthier children,it is essential to not underestimate the value of chores and need to teach their children to take responsibilities for the family. 43.What is the purpose of asking questions in the first paragraph? A.To show the importance of doing chores. B.To tell readers how to do housework. C.To introduce a worrying pheriomenon. D.To illustrate the role of parents at home. 44.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? The amount of chores that kids should do. B.The reasons why teens do less chores at home. C.The rewards of doing housework for children. D.The impact of spending much time on the games. 45.Which is the benefit of teens'doing chores according to the text? A They will never give up their present jobs. B.They will become more gentle parents. C.They will make more money in the future D.They will be more trusty and dependable. 46.What does the text mainly talk about? A.Chores are significant for children's development. B.Parents should spend more time with their children. C.Children today do less housework than they used to. D.Children today are too busy to help with housework. D Understanding everyday conversation requires more than just knowing the literal meanings of words;it includes understanding the context in which they are spoken.For example,when it's raining heavily,saying “lovely weather'”is clearly sarcastic(讽刺的).This ability to work out the real meaning from non--literal language is known as pragmatic language ability,which includes understanding humor,stress,and voice change. Evelina Fedorenko,an MIT professor,and her coworkers have found that these skills can be grouped based on the types of guesses they require.Their study of 800 people identified three main groups of pragmatic skills: guesses based on social traditions and rules,knowledge of how the physical world works,and explaining differences in voice,which can show stress or emotion. Past research on language understanding has mainly focused on literal meanings and how words fit together. However,Fedorenko notes that context is very important.For example,the phrase "people are leaving"can mean the party is ending if it's late,or the party isn't good if it's early. To explore pragmatic language skills,Fedorenko and Edward Gibson,an MIT professor of brain and cognitive(认知的)sciences..used an“individual differences”approach,studying many people as they perform various tasks.This method helps determine whether the same brain processes are responsible for different tasks. The researchers created 20 tasks,including understanding humor,sarcasm,and voice changes that influence the meaning of the sentence. Among the first 400 people who took part in the research,the researchers found that the tasks fell into three groups:.social context.general world knowledge,and voice.Testing another 400 people supported these groups. Future work aims to use brain imaging to link these pragmatlc parts to specific brain regions.This research could also help study people with autism(),who may struggle with social signals,and compare pragmatic 第5页共8页 language use across different cultures. 47.Why is pragmatic language ability in conversation important? A.It improves reading speed greatly B.It,helps memorize more vocabulary. C.It focuses on correct grammar rules. D.It allows understanding beyond words 48.What did Fedorenko's study find about pragmatic skills? A Sarcasm is the hardest to understand. B.Brain processes are exactly the same. C.They can be grouped into three types. D.People with autism lack language skills. 49.How did the researchers conduct their study? A.By testing participants with diverse tasks. B By tracking people's daily conversations. C By collecting brain images from patients. D.By comparing languages across cultures. 50.What practical use may this research have? A.Curing cognitive difficulties in brain disease. B.Standardizing language rules across diverse cultures. 6 Replacing existing brain imaging scanning technology. D.Aiding individuals with social communication barriers. 第二节℃共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There may be times when you may feeuthat enveloping your message in a generous coat of"nice"will make communication with others better.51 Sugarcoating your words-whatever your reasons are-not only does not push meaningful relationships forward but may actually endanger healthy interactions.While,at best, sugarcoating can be an attempt at kindness,at worst,it could be viewed as a form of manipulation-trying to communicate in a way that controls the other person's experience,instead of allowing them to have their own real reaction. 52"For many people,love may have felt conditional when they were young,"says psychologist Carolyn Hextall."As a result,they made an unconscious decision:being pleasing,agreeable,or undemanding was the safest way to be accepted and connected."53 For example,they may notice that they would rather agree with others,stay quiet,or soften their true feelings in their workplaces because they fear the consequence of voicing their own thoughts. Opposed to sugarcoating,saltcoating goes in the opposite direction.4 But it often crosses the line from being honest to being rude.People who use saltcoating often ignore others'feslings,speaking their minds without any consideration,which easily leads to misunderstandings and conflicts. To avoid these,Carolyn suggests stopping using global,absolute expressions such as "you always cancel plans without asking me first"or "you never listen to me".55Instead,be specific-in your feedback, and use "I"statements.which clearly communicate your experience without assigning any blame.For example, you might say:"When you said you'd meet me and then canceled,I felt upset and hurt."This centers your emotional experience,and helps the other person understand the impact of their behavior. A.This is why sugarcoating is so common. B Often,sugarcoating is deeply rooted in people. C.It can be presented as being straight and direct. D.Such statements tend to make people guarded quickly E.But a nice wrapper does not necessarily make a gift better. F.As they grow older,this early pattern may still stay with them. G.These two approaches are two extremes that are better off avoided. 第四部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。 第6页共8页 Imran Nuri grew up with high expectations from his parents.From the time he learned to walk,Imran Nuri heard from his parents time and time again,"You must 56 to be the best at everything."And Nuri followed their advice and graduated with57 from Ohio State University,then moved to Chicago, where he 58 a decent job as a national marketing director for a company.But with each passing month, Nuri realized that his parents'advice,while59,wasn't necessarily suitable for him.
