A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a random one. Schedule abundant interviews Use every possible method to get interviews-answering ads, using search firms, contacting companies directly, surfing the Web, and networking. Even if a job is not perfect for you, every interview can make you learn from it. Follow up Even if someone does not hire you, write them a thank-you note for the interview. Then. some weeks later, send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for-or any other position, for that matter-is open. Do this with every position you interview for, and you may just catch a break. Make it your full-time job You can’t find a job by looking infrequently. You have to make time for it. If you’re unemployed and looking for a job, devote as much time as you would to a full-time job. If you have a job while you’re looking, figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time. Network vertically In the research phase of your job hunt, talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. They’ll have some insights that people at your own level won’t have, and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired. Keep your spirits up Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do. Maintain your confidence, stay persistent, and think positively, and eventually you will get a job that suits you. 36. According to the author, your job-hunting plan had better be as_____ as possible. A. random B. clear C. fixed D. complex 37. The “search firms” are most probably _______ . A. companies that have vacant posts available B. companies that supply website-search service C. companies that provide job-hunting service D. companies that study job market and employment rate 38. When hunting a job, you’d better communicate with people on a level above you because________. A. they will hire you soon B. they will ask someone to hire you C. you will benefit from their fame D. you can learn from them 39. As indicated in the passage, in order to get a suitable job, you should　 _______. A. always keep an optimistic spirit B. mainly focus on a full-time job C. apply for one job at one time D. follow other people’s footsteps 40. What is the best title for this passage? A. Interview Strategies B. Interview Ceremony C. Job-hunting Experience D. Job-hunting Strategies B “Keep your eyes on the road ahead,” my driving instructor said. “You go in the direction you look.”I remembered the remark several years later, when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers. We’d been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there’d always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up(堆积)：Where’s the romance? Sorry, not for us. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort—and did no better. Then the third…After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.” “You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ” The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year. 41. How did the author feel about writing with her mother? A. Wonderful. B. Nervous. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 42. What does the underlined part “brooding over” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preparing fully for. B. Learning quickly from. C. Worrying deeply about. D. Complaining openly about. 43. What role did the driving instructor’s words play in the author and her mother’s writing career? A. They gave them inspiration of their next book. B. They stopped them from writing a book together. C. They reminded them of their original intention of writing. D. They encouraged them not to give up writing despite criticism. 44. What led to the author and her mother successfully publishing The SkyHorse? A. Writing for young adults. B. Choosing a popular theme. C. Improving their editing process. D. Focusing on their genuine interests. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. A journey to romance B. Benefits of potential cowriting C. Going where you look D. Spreading joy through writing C What makes babies laugh? It sounds like one of the most fun questions a researcher could investigate, but there’s a serious scientific reason why Caspar Addyman wants to find out. He’s not the first to ask this question. The great psychologist (心理学家) of human development, Jean Piaget, thought that babies’ laughter could be used to see into their minds. Studying when babies laugh might therefore be a great way of gaining insight into how they understand the world, he reasoned. But although he suggested this in the 1940s, this idea remains to be properly tested. Despite the fact that some very famous investigators have studied the topic, it hasn't been given enough attention by modern psychology. Addyman, of Birkbeck, University of London, is out to change that. He believes we can use laughter to get how babies understand the world exactly. He’s completed the world's largest and most comprehensive survey of what makes babies laugh, presenting his initial results at the International Conference on Infant Studies, Berlin, last year. Via his website he surveyed more than 1,000 parents from around the world, asking them questions about when, where and why their babies laugh. The results are heart-warming. A baby’s first smile comes at about six weeks, their first laugh at about three and a half months. Peekaboo (躲猫猫) is a guaranteed favourite for making babies laugh, but tickling (挠痒痒) is the single most reported reason why babies laugh. Importantly, from the very first chuckle (低声轻笑), the survey responses show that babies are laughing with other people, and at what they do. The mere physical sensation of something being ticklish isn’t enough. Nor is it enough to see something disappear or appear suddenly. It’s only funny when an adult makes these things happen for the baby. This shows that way before babies walk, or talk, they — and their laughter — are social. If you tickle a baby they apparently laugh because you are tickling them, not just because they are tickled. What's more, babies don’t tend to laugh at people falling over. They are far more likely to laugh when they fall over, rather than someone else, or when other people are happy, rather than when they are sad or unpleasantly surprised. Although parents report that boy babies laugh slightly more than girl babies, both genders (性别) find mummy and daddy equally funny. In spite of the scientific potential, baby laughter is “strangely ignored”, according to Addyman. Part of the reason is the difficulty of making babies laugh reliably in the lab, although he plans to deal with this in the next stage of the project. But partly the topic has been ignored, he says, because it isn’t viewed as a subject for “proper” science to look into. This is a prejudice Addyman hopes to overturn — for him, the study of laughter is certainly no joke. 46. The psychologist Jean Piaget held the belief that ________. A. even a good joke could not be got across to babies B. his theory about laughter would be proved in the end C. studying babies' laughter helped to know how they understand the world D. babies' laughter could be used to find out whether their brains functioned well 47. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. the present situation of Birkbeck  B. the study conducted by Jean Piaget C. thinking little of modern psychology  D. ignoring the research into babies' laughter 48. When do babies first laugh out loud according to the survey? A. At about three and a half months old. B. At about six weeks old. C. At one year old. D. At two months old. 49. The result of the survey undertaken by Addyman show that ________. A. babies are likely to laugh at people falling over B. babies enjoy laughing when they see others feel sad C. baby girls always laugh more than baby boys D. babies and their laughter are social in a way 50. From the last paragraph, it can be concluded that for Addyman, ________. A. babies’ laughter is well worth studying B. nobody should play jokes on babies C. babies’ laughter is not a real science subject D. scientists can get reliable information only in the lab D At his school in ancient Athens, Aristotle encouraged everyone to walk through the gardens while discussing ideas, rather than sitting quietly for lectures. Teachers and students would explore questions, challenge each other’s thinking, and build on each other’s insights. This tradition of walking and wondering together became so successful that it continued for centuries, influencing how knowledge was shared throughout the ancient world. Yet today we rarely create space for such collective curiosity. While we have unlimited access to information, we’re often too busy, too distracted, or too preoccupied with immediate results to engage in shared exploration. Plus, our education and workplaces usually prioritize individual achievement over group discovery. This is unfortunate, as exploring together can lead to remarkable outcomes. When you share your questions with others, you can create new possibilities that none of you could have imagined alone. History often paints a romantic picture of the lone genius — the solitary (独自工作的，孤身的) inventor in their workshop, the lone scientist in their lab, the writer alone in their small room… These stories are engaging but incomplete: individual brilliance is rarely enough for breakthrough innovation. The Wright brothers didn’t invent flight only by themselves; they extensively corresponded with fellow aviation (航空) enthusiasts. The Human Genome Project, which successfully mapped our genetic code (遗传密码), wasn’t the work of a single brilliant mind, but rather a massive team effort where thousands of scientists shared their questions, challenges, and discoveries. Collective curiosity is the practice of exploring questions and discovering answers together, where we build on each other’s insights and create an environment that encourages open inquiry and shared learning. Many resist collective curiosity for understandable reasons. In competitive workplaces, admitting uncertainty can feel risky. Time pressures push us toward quick solutions. You might worry that asking questions might make you seem indecisive. Yet, those who welcome a shared, generative state of unknowing often find it leads to better outcomes. When we practice collective curiosity, every conversation becomes a chance to learn something new. So let me ask: which questions will you and your team explore today, together? 51. What did Aristotle’s teaching method value? A. Friendly competition.  B. Lecture-based learning.  C. Strict academic discipline.  D. Active thought exchange. 52. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Disadvantages of modern education.  B. Concerns about immediate results. C. Roots of reduced collective curiosity.  D. Barriers to individual achievements. 53. What is the author’s attitude to the stories of lone geniuses? A. Tolerant.  B. Objective.  C. Critical.  D. Favorable. 54. Why does the author mention the Wright brothers and the Human Genome Project? A. To emphasize the challenges faced by inventors and scientists. B. To provide examples of major scientific and technological achievements. C. To explain how competitions encourage faster problem solving. D. To illustrate the importance of teamwork and shared curiosity. 55. What restricts shared exploration in workplaces? A. Lack of common goals.  B. Fear of appearing incapable. C. The indecision of team leaders.  D. The desire to ease pressure quickly. II卷（共35分） 第四部分：(共2小节；满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达（满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids and threw jump shots over their heads. The boys always tried to stop her, but never could. I began to notice her at other times, on that same blacktop (柏油路), playing alone — sometimes until dark. One day, I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation, she said: “The only way I can go to college is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. If I’m good enough, I can get a scholarship.” She was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. But one time in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, her head cradled in her arms. Quietly, I asked what was wrong. “I am just too short,” came a soft reply. The coach told her that, at 5’5” (about 165 cm), she would probably never get to play for a top-ranked team — much less offered a scholarship. She was heartbroken. I asked her to talk to her dad about it. Her father told her that those coaches were wrong — they just did not understand the power of a dream. Nothing could stop her, except one thing: her own attitude. He told her, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” The next year, when she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was noticed by a college recruiter. She was indeed offered a scholarship to a women’s basketball team. She finally got what she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years. And that little girl ended up having more playing time than any other woman in the history of the university. During her junior year of college, her father – her hero, died. The following years were hard for her. The grief she felt over the loss of her father was always there. She struggled daily with fear, doubt, and frustration. However, every time she wanted to quit, she remembered her father’s last words: “Rachel, keep dreaming. Don’t let your dream die. If the dream is big enough, you can do anything!” She completed her degree. It took her six years, but she didn’t give up. She can still be found sometimes as the sun is setting, bouncing a basketball. And often I hear her tell others, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” 56. Why did Rachel practise playing basketball so much? (no more than 10 words) ________________ 57. How did Rachel feel after hearing her coach’s words? (1 word) ________________ 58. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean? (no more than 15 words) ________________ 59. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words) ________________ 60. How did you deal with any obstacles when trying to achieve a goal? Please explain.

A. at first B. after all C. above all D. at random 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：时间不知不觉地溜走了，但他还是在最后期限前完成了工作。A. at first最初；B. after all毕竟；终于；C. above all最重要的是；D. at random随机地。此处表示“虽然时间不知不觉地溜走了，但他终于还是在最后期限前完成了工作”。故选B项。 8. Endurance, perseverance, industry and talent are the means ________ men can achieve great ends A. in which B. by which C. of which D. on which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和介词辨析。句意：耐力、毅力、勤奋和才干是人们实现伟大目标的手段。空格处引导定语从句，先行词为means（手段），指物，人们实现伟大目标是“凭借”前面提到的手段的，因此可以确定介词为by，which指代先行词作宾语。故选B项。 9. — What made her upset? — ________. A. Because of losing her key  B. Because she lost her key C. Losing her key  D. Lost her key 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——是什么使她心烦？——丢了钥匙（这件事）。A. Because of losing her key因为丢了钥匙；B. Because she lost her key因为她丢了钥匙；C. Losing her key丢了钥匙；D. Lost her key丢了钥匙。问句“What made her upset?”中what作主语，询问“使她心烦的那个事物”，故答语须用能充当主语的动名词短语Losing her key made her upset。 10. The air quality in the city, ________ is shown in the report, has improved over the past two months. A. that B. it C. as D. what 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：正如报道的那样，在过去的两个月里这个城市的空气质量已经改善了许多。空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，指代整个主句，关系词表示“正如”，需用关系代词as引导。故选C。 11. ________ is known to us all is that China has launched Shenzhou XVIII spaceship successfully. A. That  B. What  C. It  D. As 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：众所周知，中国已经成功发射了神舟十八号宇宙飞船。“______ is known to us all”为主语从句，且引导词在从句中作主语，指“……的事情”，应用what引导。 12.

A. Dating  B. To date  C. Having dated  D. Date 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：京剧可以追溯到18世纪，至今已有两百多年的历史。句中已有谓语动词has，且没有连词，空处需填非谓语动词作状语。短语date back to意为“追溯到”，主语Peking Opera与date之间为逻辑上的主动关系，且该动作表示一种客观事实或伴随状态，并不强调发生在谓语动词之前，故用现在分词的一般式Dating作状语。 14. My family’s kindness, gentleness and companionship have made my life ______ living. It is also great to see something ______ of note during my walk through the woods. A. worthy; worthy B. worth; worthy C. worth; worthwhile D. worthwhile; worth 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：家人的善良、温柔和陪伴使我的生命值得活下去。在我穿过树林的时候看到一些值得注意的东西也很棒。A. worthy值得的；worthy值得的；B. worth值得的；worthy值得的；C. worth值得的；worthwhile值得的；D.worthwhile值得的；worth值得的。第一个设空处为形容词作宾语补足语，空后为living，固定短语worth doing“值得做……”。故第一空为worth；第二个设空处为形容词作后置定语，worthy of +n./being done意为“值得……”，worthy of note意为“值得做……”，第二空应填worthy。故选B。 15. — You must find one exam after another very tiring. — ______.

A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a random one. Schedule abundant interviews Use every possible method to get interviews-answering ads, using search firms, contacting companies directly, surfing the Web, and networking. Even if a job is not perfect for you, every interview can make you learn from it. Follow up Even if someone does not hire you, write them a thank-you note for the interview. Then. some weeks later, send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for-or any other position, for that matter-is open. Do this with every position you interview for, and you may just catch a break. Make it your full-time job You can’t find a job by looking infrequently. You have to make time for it. If you’re unemployed and looking for a job, devote as much time as you would to a full-time job. If you have a job while you’re looking, figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time. Network vertically In the research phase of your job hunt, talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. They’ll have some insights that people at your own level won’t have, and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired. Keep your spirits up Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do. Maintain your confidence, stay persistent, and think positively, and eventually you will get a job that suits you. 36. According to the author, your job-hunting plan had better be as_____ as possible. A. random B. clear C. fixed D. complex 37. The “search firms” are most probably _______ .

Interview Strategies B. Interview Ceremony C. Job-hunting Experience D. Job-hunting Strategies 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. D 39. A 40.

A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a random one.(虽然你应该始终保持自己的意见可以妥协，但你也应该确保你的目标是你想从工作中得到什么。有针对性的求职比随机的求职更有效率。)”可知，作者认为找工作的计划越清楚越好，故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据Schedule abundant interviews部分的“Use every possible method to get interviews-answering ads(利用一切可能的方法来获得面试广告)”可知该句在列举找工作的方法，因此“猎头公司”很可能是提供求职服务的公司。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。由Network vertically部分的“They’ll have some insights that people at your own level won’t have, and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired.(他们会有一些与你同级别的人所没有的洞见，他们会很有资格雇用你或推荐你被雇用。)”可知，找工作的时候，你最好和比你级别高的人交流，因为你可以从他们身上学到东西，故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。由本文最后一句“Maintain your confidence, stay persistent, and think positively, and eventually you will get a job that suits you.(保持自信，坚持不懈，积极思考，最终你会找到适合自己的工作。)”可知，正如文章中所指出的，为了得到一份合适的工作，你应该始终保持乐观的精神。故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“If you are finding it tough to land a job, try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following strategies(如果你觉得找工作很难，试着扩展你的求职计划，包括以下策略)”可知，本文主要介绍了几种找工作的策略包括Set your target、Schedule abundant interviews、Follow up、Make it your full-time job、Network vertically、Keep your spirits up，因此最好的题目是D选项“Job-hunting Strategies(求职策略)”，故选D。 B “Keep your eyes on the road ahead,” my driving instructor said. “You go in the direction you look.”I remembered the remark several years later, when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers. We’d been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there’d always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up(堆积)：Where’s the romance? Sorry, not for us. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort—and did no better. Then the third…After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.” “You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ” The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year. 41. How did the author feel about writing with her mother? A. Wonderful. B. Nervous. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 42. What does the underlined part “brooding over” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preparing fully for. B. Learning quickly from. C. Worrying deeply about. D. Complaining openly about. 43. What role did the driving instructor’s words play in the author and her mother’s writing career? A. They gave them inspiration of their next book. B. They stopped them from writing a book together. C. They reminded them of their original intention of writing. D. They encouraged them not to give up writing despite criticism. 44. What led to the author and her mother successfully publishing The SkyHorse? A. Writing for young adults. B. Choosing a popular theme. C. Improving their editing process. D. Focusing on their genuine interests. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. A journey to romance B. Benefits of potential cowriting C. Going where you look D. Spreading joy through writing 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. C 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和母亲在写作生涯中遇到的困境以及他们如何通过合作和调整方向来克服这些困难，最终成功出版小说的经历，传达了坚持初心、享受过程的重要性。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone.(合作让写作过程轻松了许多，也有趣得多。我们都盼着坐到电脑前，看看自己不在时故事发生了什么曲折变化。)”可知，作者认为与母亲合作写作的过程轻松且有趣，并期待继续创作。故选A。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book.(根据经验，我们知道避免因失望而……的最好办法是：开始写下一本书。)”可推测，面对拒绝时人们容易陷入过度担忧或沮丧。因此，“brooding over”意为“沉思、担忧”。选项C“Worrying deeply about(深深担忧)”与此相符。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.”(突然，教练的话在我耳边响起。我说：“也许我们该看看自己要驶向哪里。”我接着说：“这就像开车。我们忘了一起写作的初衷。我们当然想出版，但主要原因是想在共同热爱的事情中找到乐趣。”)”可知，驾驶教练的话让作者和母亲意识到她们偏离了写作的初衷——享受共同创作的乐趣，而非单纯追求出版。这一反思促使她们调整方向，最终写出真正热爱的作品。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ”(“你说得对。”妈妈长舒一口气，“我已经很久没感受到乐趣了。也许我们该写真正热爱的东西。你知道吗，我们当初写爱情小说只是因为它们流行，但我们的故事里没有真正的灵魂。”)”以及最后一段“The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year.(去年，我们的青少年小说《天马》出版了。)”可知，她们成功的关键在于放弃迎合流行的爱情小说题材，转而创作真正热爱的内容。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，全文以驾驶教练的话“你看向哪里，就会驶向哪里”为核心隐喻，讲述作者和母亲在写作中因偏离初衷而受挫，最终通过回望初心（聚焦热爱）获得成功的故事。选项C“Going where you look(看向哪里，驶向哪里)”直接引用教练的话，呼应全文“目标与方向”的主题，隐喻坚持初衷的重要性，最贴切。故选C。 C What makes babies laugh? It sounds like one of the most fun questions a researcher could investigate, but there’s a serious scientific reason why Caspar Addyman wants to find out. He’s not the first to ask this question. The great psychologist (心理学家) of human development, Jean Piaget, thought that babies’ laughter could be used to see into their minds. Studying when babies laugh might therefore be a great way of gaining insight into how they understand the world, he reasoned. But although he suggested this in the 1940s, this idea remains to be properly tested. Despite the fact that some very famous investigators have studied the topic, it hasn't been given enough attention by modern psychology. Addyman, of Birkbeck, University of London, is out to change that. He believes we can use laughter to get how babies understand the world exactly. He’s completed the world's largest and most comprehensive survey of what makes babies laugh, presenting his initial results at the International Conference on Infant Studies, Berlin, last year. Via his website he surveyed more than 1,000 parents from around the world, asking them questions about when, where and why their babies laugh. The results are heart-warming. A baby’s first smile comes at about six weeks, their first laugh at about three and a half months. Peekaboo (躲猫猫) is a guaranteed favourite for making babies laugh, but tickling (挠痒痒) is the single most reported reason why babies laugh. Importantly, from the very first chuckle (低声轻笑), the survey responses show that babies are laughing with other people, and at what they do. The mere physical sensation of something being ticklish isn’t enough. Nor is it enough to see something disappear or appear suddenly. It’s only funny when an adult makes these things happen for the baby. This shows that way before babies walk, or talk, they — and their laughter — are social. If you tickle a baby they apparently laugh because you are tickling them, not just because they are tickled. What's more, babies don’t tend to laugh at people falling over. They are far more likely to laugh when they fall over, rather than someone else, or when other people are happy, rather than when they are sad or unpleasantly surprised. Although parents report that boy babies laugh slightly more than girl babies, both genders (性别) find mummy and daddy equally funny. In spite of the scientific potential, baby laughter is “strangely ignored”, according to Addyman. Part of the reason is the difficulty of making babies laugh reliably in the lab, although he plans to deal with this in the next stage of the project. But partly the topic has been ignored, he says, because it isn’t viewed as a subject for “proper” science to look into. This is a prejudice Addyman hopes to overturn — for him, the study of laughter is certainly no joke. 46. The psychologist Jean Piaget held the belief that ________. A. even a good joke could not be got across to babies B. his theory about laughter would be proved in the end C. studying babies' laughter helped to know how they understand the world D. babies' laughter could be used to find out whether their brains functioned well 47. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. the present situation of Birkbeck  B. the study conducted by Jean Piaget C. thinking little of modern psychology  D. ignoring the research into babies' laughter 48. When do babies first laugh out loud according to the survey? A. At about three and a half months old. B. At about six weeks old. C. At one year old. D. At two months old. 49. The result of the survey undertaken by Addyman show that ________. A. babies are likely to laugh at people falling over B. babies enjoy laughing when they see others feel sad C. baby girls always laugh more than baby boys D. babies and their laughter are social in a way 50. From the last paragraph, it can be concluded that for Addyman, ________. A. babies’ laughter is well worth studying B. nobody should play jokes on babies C. babies’ laughter is not a real science subject D. scientists can get reliable information only in the lab 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. A 49. D 50. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍Addyman对婴儿发笑原因开展的相关调查研究。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The great psychologist (心理学家) of human development, Jean Piaget, thought that babies’ laughter could be used to see into their minds. Studying when babies laugh might therefore be a great way of gaining insight into how they understand the world, he reasoned.(研究人类发展的伟大心理学家让·皮亚杰认为，婴儿的笑声可以用来洞察他们的内心。他推断，研究婴儿什么时候笑可能是深入了解他们如何理解世界的绝佳方式。)”可知，让·皮亚杰认为研究婴儿的笑声有助于了解他们理解世界的方式。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Despite the fact that some very famous investigators have studied the topic, it hasn’t been given enough attention by modern psychology.(尽管一些非常著名的研究者已经研究过这个主题，但它在现代心理学中并没有得到足够的关注。)”和第三段中“Addyman, of Birkbeck, University of London, is out to change that.(伦敦大学伯贝克学院的阿迪曼正在着手改变这一现状。)”可知，第三段中划线的that指代的是“忽视婴儿笑声相关研究的现状”。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A baby’s first smile comes at about six weeks, their first laugh at about three and a half months.(婴儿的第一次微笑出现在大约六周大时，他们的第一次大笑出现在大约三个半月大时。)”可知，根据这项调查，婴儿第一次大声笑是在大约三个半月大的时候。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“This shows that way before babies walk, or talk, they — and their laughter — are social.(这表明，早在婴儿学会走路或说话之前，他们以及他们的笑声就已经具有社交属性了。)”可知，Addyman开展的调查结果显示婴儿和他们的笑声在某种程度上是具有社交属性的。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This is a prejudice Addyman hopes to overturn — for him, the study of laughter is certainly no joke.(这是Addyman希望推翻的一种偏见——对他来说，对笑声的研究绝对不是儿戏。)”可知，对Addyman而言，婴儿的笑声非常值得研究。 D At his school in ancient Athens, Aristotle encouraged everyone to walk through the gardens while discussing ideas, rather than sitting quietly for lectures. Teachers and students would explore questions, challenge each other’s thinking, and build on each other’s insights. This tradition of walking and wondering together became so successful that it continued for centuries, influencing how knowledge was shared throughout the ancient world. Yet today we rarely create space for such collective curiosity. While we have unlimited access to information, we’re often too busy, too distracted, or too preoccupied with immediate results to engage in shared exploration. Plus, our education and workplaces usually prioritize individual achievement over group discovery. This is unfortunate, as exploring together can lead to remarkable outcomes. When you share your questions with others, you can create new possibilities that none of you could have imagined alone. History often paints a romantic picture of the lone genius — the solitary (独自工作的，孤身的) inventor in their workshop, the lone scientist in their lab, the writer alone in their small room… These stories are engaging but incomplete: individual brilliance is rarely enough for breakthrough innovation. The Wright brothers didn’t invent flight only by themselves; they extensively corresponded with fellow aviation (航空) enthusiasts. The Human Genome Project, which successfully mapped our genetic code (遗传密码), wasn’t the work of a single brilliant mind, but rather a massive team effort where thousands of scientists shared their questions, challenges, and discoveries. Collective curiosity is the practice of exploring questions and discovering answers together, where we build on each other’s insights and create an environment that encourages open inquiry and shared learning. Many resist collective curiosity for understandable reasons. In competitive workplaces, admitting uncertainty can feel risky. Time pressures push us toward quick solutions. You might worry that asking questions might make you seem indecisive. Yet, those who welcome a shared, generative state of unknowing often find it leads to better outcomes. When we practice collective curiosity, every conversation becomes a chance to learn something new. So let me ask: which questions will you and your team explore today, together? 51. What did Aristotle’s teaching method value? A. Friendly competition.  B. Lecture-based learning.  C. Strict academic discipline.  D. Active thought exchange. 52. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Disadvantages of modern education.  B. Concerns about immediate results. C. Roots of reduced collective curiosity.  D. Barriers to individual achievements. 53. What is the author’s attitude to the stories of lone geniuses? A. Tolerant.  B. Objective.  C. Critical.  D. Favorable. 54. Why does the author mention the Wright brothers and the Human Genome Project? A. To emphasize the challenges faced by inventors and scientists. B. To provide examples of major scientific and technological achievements. C. To explain how competitions encourage faster problem solving. D. To illustrate the importance of teamwork and shared curiosity. 55. What restricts shared exploration in workplaces? A. Lack of common goals.  B. Fear of appearing incapable. C. The indecision of team leaders.  D. The desire to ease pressure quickly. 【答案】51. D 52. C 53. C 54. D 55. B 【解析】 【导语】文章借古希腊传统，论证集体好奇心的价值，呼吁人们开展共同探索。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At his school in ancient Athens, Aristotle encouraged everyone to walk through the gardens while discussing ideas, rather than sitting quietly for lectures. Teachers and students would explore questions, challenge each other’s thinking, and build on each other’s insights. (在古雅典的学校里，亚里士多德鼓励大家在花园里边散步边讨论观点，而不是安静地坐着听讲。师生们会共同探讨问题、挑战彼此的思维，并在彼此见解的基础上不断推进。)”可知，亚里士多德的教学方法重视师生之间活跃的思想交流。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“While we have unlimited access to information, we’re often too busy, too distracted, or too preoccupied with immediate results to engage in shared exploration. Plus, our education and workplaces usually prioritize individual achievement over group discovery.(尽管我们能无限制获取信息，却常因过于忙碌、分心或执着于即时成果，无法参与共同探索。此外，我们的教育和工作场景往往优先看重个人成就而非集体发现。)”可知，第二段主要阐释了如今集体好奇心减少的根源。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“History often paints a romantic picture of the lone genius — the solitary (独自钻研的、孤独的) inventor in their workshop, the lone scientist in their lab, the writer alone in their small room… These stories are engaging but incomplete: individual brilliance is rarely enough for breakthrough innovation.(历史常常描绘出孤独天才的浪漫画面——工作坊里独居的发明家、实验室里孤身的科学家、小房间里独自写作的作家…… 这些故事引人入胜，但并不完整：个人的聪明才智很少足以成就突破性的创新。)”可知，作者对独居天才的叙事持批判态度，认为其掩盖了协作的重要性。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The Wright brothers didn’t invent flight only by themselves; they extensively corresponded with fellow aviation (航空) enthusiasts. The Human Genome Project, which successfully mapped our genetic code (遗传密码), wasn’t the work of a single brilliant mind, but rather a massive team effort where thousands of scientists shared their questions, challenges, and discoveries.(莱特兄弟并非仅凭自己实行了飞行；他们与众多航空爱好者进行了广泛的通信往来。人类基因组计划成功绘制了我们的遗传密码，它并非某个天才头脑的功劳，而是一项庞大的团队工程，数千名科学家在其中分享了各自的问题、挑战与发现。)”可知，作者提及莱特兄弟和人类基因组计划，是为了阐明团队协作与共享好奇心的重要性。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“Many resist collective curiosity for understandable reasons. In competitive workplaces, admitting uncertainty can feel risky. Time pressures push us toward quick solutions. You might worry that asking questions might make you seem indecisive.(许多人出于可以理解的原因抗拒集体好奇心。在竞争激烈的工作环境中，承认不确定会显得有风险。时间压力迫使我们寻求快速解决方案。你可能担心提问会让自己显得优柔寡断。)”可知，职场中人们害怕暴露自身的不确定、显得能力不足，这限制了共同探索的开展。 II卷（共35分） 第四部分：(共2小节；满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达（满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids and threw jump shots over their heads. The boys always tried to stop her, but never could. I began to notice her at other times, on that same blacktop (柏油路), playing alone — sometimes until dark. One day, I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation, she said: “The only way I can go to college is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. If I’m good enough, I can get a scholarship.” She was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. But one time in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, her head cradled in her arms. Quietly, I asked what was wrong. “I am just too short,” came a soft reply. The coach told her that, at 5’5” (about 165 cm), she would probably never get to play for a top-ranked team — much less offered a scholarship. She was heartbroken. I asked her to talk to her dad about it. Her father told her that those coaches were wrong — they just did not understand the power of a dream. Nothing could stop her, except one thing: her own attitude. He told her, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” The next year, when she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was noticed by a college recruiter. She was indeed offered a scholarship to a women’s basketball team. She finally got what she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years. And that little girl ended up having more playing time than any other woman in the history of the university. During her junior year of college, her father – her hero, died. The following years were hard for her. The grief she felt over the loss of her father was always there. She struggled daily with fear, doubt, and frustration. However, every time she wanted to quit, she remembered her father’s last words: “Rachel, keep dreaming. Don’t let your dream die. If the dream is big enough, you can do anything!” She completed her degree. It took her six years, but she didn’t give up. She can still be found sometimes as the sun is setting, bouncing a basketball. And often I hear her tell others, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” 56. Why did Rachel practise playing basketball so much? (no more than 10 words) ________________ 57. How did Rachel feel after hearing her coach’s words? (1 word) ________________ 58. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean? (no more than 15 words) ________________ 59. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words) ________________ 60. How did you deal with any obstacles when trying to achieve a goal? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) ________________ 【答案】56. To go to college by getting a scholarship. 57. Discouraged. / Sad. / Disappointed. / Heartbroken. 58. A strong determination and positive attitude can overcome obstacles and achieve dreams. / Believe in yourself and your dream, even if the facts suggested otherwise. 59. Rachel struggled to pursue her dream after her father’s death. 60. No matter what difficulties and challenges I encountered, I remained steadfast in my beliefs and goals. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，瑞秋想获得奖学金上大学，她在父亲的鼓励下，坚持不懈，通过努力打篮球，最后实现了梦想的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。由第二段中的“One day, I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation, she said: “The only way I can go to college is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. If I’m good enough, I can get a scholarship.” (有一天，我问她为什么练习这么多。她毫不犹豫地说：“我能上大学的唯一途径就是获得奖学金。我喜欢篮球。如果我足够优秀，我就能获得奖学金。”)”可知，Rachel频繁地练习打篮球，是因为她想通过获得奖学金上大学。故答案为：To go to college by getting a scholarship. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。由第四段中的“She was heartbroken. (她伤心欲绝)”可知，Rachel听到教练的话后感觉应该是沮丧或悲伤或失望或心碎。故答案为：Discouraged. / Sad. / Disappointed. / Heartbroken. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。由第四段中的“Her father told her that those coaches were wrong — they just did not understand the power of a dream. Nothing could stop her, except one thing: her own attitude. (她的父亲告诉她，那些教练错了——他们只是不理解梦想的力量。没有什么能阻止她，只有一件事：她自己的态度)”和倒数第二段“However, every time she wanted to quit, she remembered her father’s last words: “Rachel, keep dreaming. Don’t let your dream die. If the dream is big enough, you can do anything!” (然而，每次她想退出时，她都会想起父亲的遗言：“瑞秋，继续做梦。不要让你的梦想破灭。如果梦想足够大，你可以做任何事情！”)”可知，通过划线句，瑞秋的父亲想告诉她坚定的决心和积极的态度可以克服障碍，实现梦想或相信你自己和你的梦想，即使事实并非如此。故答案为：A strong determination and positive attitude can overcome obstacles and achieve dreams. / Believe in yourself and your dream, even if the facts suggested otherwise. 【59题详解】 考查主旨大意。由第六段“During her junior year of college, her father – her hero, died. The following years were hard for her. The grief she felt over the loss of her father was always there. She struggled daily with fear, doubt, and frustration. However, every time she wanted to quit, she remembered her father’s last words: “Rachel, keep dreaming. Don’t let your dream die. If the dream is big enough, you can do anything!” (在她大学三年级时，她的父亲——她的英雄——去世了。接下来的几年对她来说很艰难。她为失去父亲而感到的悲痛一直存在。她每天都在恐惧、怀疑和沮丧中挣扎。然而，每次她想退出时，她都会想起父亲的遗言：“瑞秋，继续做梦。不要让你的梦想破灭。如果梦想足够大，你可以做任何事情！”)”可知，第六段主要讲Rachel在父亲去世后努力追求自己的梦想。故答案为：Rachel struggled to pursue her dream after her father’s death. 【60题详解】 考查开放答题。考生结合自身实际，按要求作答，例如：无论我遇到什么困难和挑战，我都会坚定我的信念和目标。故答案为：No matter what difficulties and challenges I encountered, I remained steadfast in my beliefs and goals. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 你校英文报正在进行征文比赛。请你以“Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do (艰难的时光终将过去，坚强的人必将苦尽甘来)”为题，写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1．对困难的认识； 2．你的个人经历； 3．表达你的期望。 注意：1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do Life is full of uncertainties, but one thing is for sure—we all run into times when we find it so hard to carry on.
