IV.Reading Comprehension(共45分) Section A(每题1分，共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. Life for a 19th-century sailor was extremely hard.Months at sea meant constant danger, loneliness,and hardship.Sailors saw the same few people every day in a very small space,where they were expected to get along and 46 one another.On a long voyage,just one47 person could make life miserable for everyone. To deal with such a person,sailors used a simple but powerful method:the silent treatment. They would 48 the offender completely for weeks.Although this might sound like an innocent action,it was far from harmless.According to writer Otis Ferguson,the silent treatment was so effective on a ship that it could even make strong men49. Today,the silent treatment is not limited to 50.Research suggests that many of us have used the silent treatment ourselves.Psychologist Kipling Williams found that about two-thirds of people have done so.His studies show two main 51 behind it.The first is to punish someone for something they said or did.The second is to avoid 52,especially when we fear a major argument. 第4页共1页 Silent freatment often 53 because people believe that it works.But its emotional cost is high.Those on the 54cnd frcqucntly describe pain,anger,and hatred from being shut out by somcone they care about Scientists have found that social isolation activates the same brain region as physical pain.This means silent rejection can hurt in a rcal,measurable way Being ignored may first 55 anger and sadness,followed by reflection about the motives bchind the treatment.If the silence lasts, pcoplc may eventually fall into a scnse of 56--not bccause they accept the situation.but because they feel isolated and helpless. Silent rejection,like other kinds of57 abuse.can also reduce a person's ability to think clearly.In one study,participants asked to imagine cnding up completely 58 performed worse on complex tasks,showing how being shut out by others can weaken clear thinking Although the silent treatment may seem harmless because its hurtful side is easy to59 it is actually deeply damaging.We should all try to avoid 60 it--and,if possible,avoid being its target. 46.A.suspcct B.support C.blame D.monitor 47.A.reliable B.patient C.difficult D.reserved 48.A.beat B.ignorc C.forgive D.change 49.A.break down B.take off C.step forward D.look away 50.A.offendcrs B.musicians C.doctors D.sailors 51.A.reasons B.results C.responses D.practices 52.A.silence B.failure C.conflict D.cornmnitment 53.A.hurts B.fades C.continues D.varies 54.A.stronger B.receiving C.waiting D.dependent 55.A.cut off B.cover up C.run into D.lead to 56.A.control B.duty C.respect D.defeat 57.A.emotional B.physical C.digital D.financial 58.A.defensive B.alone C.annoyed D.sensitive 59.A.miss B.accept C.define D notice 60.A.switching B.testing C.applying D.measuring Section B（每题2分，共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 murked A,B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In recent years,more and more Chinese words have made their way into the English language A study by the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies (ACCWS)looked at how well-known Chinese expressions have become outside China.Researchers examined how often 300 Chinese words appeared in online reports from major media outlets in the United States,the United Kingdom,Australia,and Canada.Based on their findings,they selected 150 words for a survey. More than 1,260 people aged 18 and above with higher education backgrounds took part in the sfudy. 第5页共11页 One key finding was that Chinese words are often used in their pinyin form,making it easier for English speakers to iccognize and understand them.Pinyin,the system for writing Chinese characters using the Latin alphabet,has played a big role in spreading Chinese culture around the world.Many familiar words are connected to festivals and traditions,such as churjie (Spring Festival)and chongyang (Doublc Ninth Fcstival).Others,like kongzi(Confucius),shaolin (martial arts),and gugong(Forbidden City),are widely recognized. An interesting trend is that some Chincsc namcs,which were once translated into English,are now being used in their original form.Instead of calling them "dumplings,"more pcople now use the word jiaozi.This shift shows how Chincsc cuisine is becoming an important part of global food culture.The latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary has even included jiaozi as an official entry. The ACCWS report also highlights how globalization has strengthened communication between China and English-speaking countries.As trade,tourism,and investment continue to grow,so does the presence of Chinese words in everyday conversations.Currency terms like yuan and renminbi now frequently appear in English-language news reports. Chinese words related to science and technology are also gaining recognition.Wukong,the name of China's Dark Matter Particle Explorer,is one example.More digital and economic terms are also spreading quickly,especially among younger generations.Words like zhifubao (Alipay)and gongxiang jingji(sharing economy)are becoming more familiar to people outside China. As China continues to play a bigger role in the world,more Chinese words are likely to become part of English.This growing exchange of language reflects a deeper cultural connection and a shared understanding between different parts of the world. 61.How does pinyin help Chinese words become part of the English language? A.It makes Chinese words look livelier for English speakers. B.It changes the meanings of Chinese words to fit English usage. C.It shortens Chinese words so that they are easier to learn by heart. D.It enables English speakers to comprehend Chinese words more easily 62.Which word is mentioned in the passage to illustrate the effect of globalization? A.chunjie B.gugong C.jiaozi D.renminbi 63.What reason is given in the passage for Chinese words'finding their way into English? A.China's growing influence in the world. B.China's rapid development in technology. C.China's efforts to promote the use of pinyin D.China's contribution to the English dictionaries. 64.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A.Words Without Borders B.Why English Takes Over C.The Struggle to Translate Chinese D.The Decline of English Vocabulary (B) 第6页共11页 International Puppets(木偶) The first puppets are thought to have been used in India over 4,000 years ago.Sincc then, different kinds of puppets have become popular around the world. HAND PUPPETS arc usually about 50cm(20 inches)tall.Thcir main feature is a large head that has a costume (with arms attached to it.These puppets are worn like a glove.The puppeteer,who stands below the stage,operates the puppet with his or her fingers.Hand puppets are widely used in Europcan countries,such as ltaly,France and Britain. ROD PUPPETS have long been used in Japan and Italy and are now very popular in Eastern Europe. They are similar in shape to hand puppets but are much bigger-sometimes over I meter(40 inches) tall.The puppeteer,who works from below the stage,operates the puppet with rods()that are attached to it:a thick rod fixed to the puppet's back,and the thinner rods fixed to its neck,head,and arms.The puppeteer,holding the thick rod in one hand and the thinner rods in the other hand,can move the parts separately. SHADOW PUPPETS are similar to rod puppets but are unique in that they are flat and much smaller-about 50cm(20 inches).In addition,they are seen by audiences in a completely different way-these puppets appear as shadows on a screen that is lit from behind.They are controlled either from below or beside the stage.Shadow puppets,which originally came from China and Indonesia, later became popular in Turkey and Greece. MARIONETTES are puppets that are constructed from several small parts.Their height varies,and they are moved by strings that are controlled from above.Many marionettes are hung on nine strings, but there are some in Myanmar that have up to 60 strings.They can be made to perform interesting tricks,such as blowing smoke from a pipe. 65.The passage is intended to A.introduce some sorts of puppets B.illustrate the history of puppets C.reflect on why puppets are popular D.highlight the uniqueness of puppets 66.Shadow puppets are different from the other three in A.how they are moved B.how hig they are C.how they are seen D.how they are constructed 67.Which of the following puppets are different from the others in puppeteers'position? A.Hand puppets. B.Rod puppets.C.Shadow puppets.D.Marionettes. (C) Plastic pollution in the ocean has become a serious environmental problem in recent years. Many people know that marine animals often mistake plastic for food,but the exact amount that can cause death has not been clear.A recent study tries to answer this question by estimating how much plastic is likely to lead to a high risk of death. To reach their conclusions,researchers studied data from more than 10,000 dead seabirds,sea turtles,and marine mammals(海龟和海洋哺乳动物)reported in53 studies around the world.These animals covered many different species.By analysing these records,the team calculated the amount of plastic linked to a 90 percent likelihood of death.Notably,the study focused on visible plastic 第7页共11页 pieces and did not include microplastics or cases in which animals died after getting caught in fishing nets. The findings suggest that life-threatening quantities are smaller than commonly assumed.For instancc,the plastic volume that may prove dcadly to a sea turtle is roughly cqual to two baseballs. while for a puffin(海鹦)it may be comparable to three sugar cubes A harhor porpoise(港湾鼠 may face a similar risk after swallowing plastic about the size of a soccer ball.According to Erin Murphy of Ocean Conservancy,scientists have long recognised that plastic consumption can be deadly,yet they lacked clear evidencc about how much exposure is too much.This study therefore provides an important scientific reference point. Different species appear to be at risk from different types of plastic.Seabirds frequently ingest hard parts such as bottle pieces,while sea turtles often swallow soft plastic bags.Marine mammals tend to consume fishing ropes and nets.Young sea animals are especially at risk because they are generally less selective in their feeding behaviour. Eating plastic can cause death in several ways.Sharp pieces may damage internal organs,and built-up plastic can block the digestive system.Even without physical injury,plastic may produce a "food dilution effect,"filling the stomach without providing nutrients and ultimately leading to starvation.These findings highlight the urgent need for more effective measures to reduce plastic wastc entering the oceans. 68.What was the main purpose of the study introduced in the passage? A.To explain how plastic goes into sea animals B.To find out how much plastic can kill sea animals. C.To measure plastic pollution in oceans worldwide. D.To examine how fishing industry affects the ocean. 69.Which of the following is true according to the research findings? A.Less plastic than thought can be deadly. B.Not many marine species were involved. C.Ocean plastic can be as large as sports balls. D.Microplastics are more harmful than assumed. 70.What does the word"ingest"(paragraph 4)most probably mean? A.The movement of plastic waste in water. B.The selection of objects of a suitable size. C.The act of taking something into the body. D.The process of identifying plastic materials. 71.According to the study,in which way can eating plastic cause marine animals to die? A.By worsening their existing physical injuries. B.By making them less selective in choosing food. C.By reducing the nutrients they receive from food. D.By changing the makeup of their digestive system. 第8页共11页 Section C(每题2分，共8分) Directions:Read the following pussage.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 sentence than you need. A.As adults,however,we begin to sce distraction as something harmful. B As we grow into adults,we too lcarn to deal with negative emotions,mostly by distracting ourselves C.Bit by bit,our thoughts slow down,and a gentle sense of balance returns. D.But soon new troubles appear-a sad story,a harsh comment,another rcason to feel tense. E.In other words,distraction can have powerfully positive effects. F.Our minds,like impatient children,can be wild and noisy. Being Well Distracted Most parents soon learn that distraction can work wonders.When a child cries or 'refuses to calm down,a quick change of focus--a song,a toy,or a funny face-often breaks the tension in seconds.By turning the mind away from strong feelings,comfort comes more easily than through explanation or advice. 72 Surrounded by screens,messages,and constant updates,we complain that our attention is always under attack.People wamn that modern life is making us lose focus.Yet distraction itself is not the real problem;what matters is how we use it and where we let our attention g0. In daily life,many of us reach for our phones or computers whenever we feel lonely,bored,or worried.For a short moment,looking through pictures or reading the news seems to calm our minds. 73 This kind of distraction pulls us further away from peace instead of bringing us closer to it. There is,however,another kind of distraction that can restore calm rather than destroy it. During walking meditation,for instance,we focus on each step,on what we see and hear,and on the movement of air around us.74By shifting attention from endless noise to the present moment,we learn to guide the mind instead of being driven by it. 75 The task is not to block distraction but to choose it wisely-to turn our focus toward the things that truly matter:the people we love,the work we value,and the small moments that make life worth living. 第二卷 V.Fill in the sentences with the proper words or expressions in proper forms (Each word or phrase can only be used ONCE).(每题1分，共10分) find fault with bc related to put pressure on be ignorant of stare at a shortage of can't bear be tempted to be torn between in memory of hold back 76.Many teenagers the possible harm of staying up latc and keep scrolling short videos cvery night. 77.The government built this monument those herocs who lost their lives protecting the border 78.Instead of always my performance,you should try to give me some encouragement. 79.She choosing the art major and following her parents'advice to study medicine these days. 80.When seeing the bloody scene,the little girl could hardlyher tears. 81.There is medical workers at present,so volunteers are called for. 82.1 being disturbed when I am focusing on my homework. 83.Some people_ buy cheap online goods without thinking twice when seeing big sales. 84.Most of the problems we meet in daily life our communication skills. 85.The manager his employees to finisn the project ahcad of the schedule last month.
