Ivy and Mia were best friends. But as they grew older, there was a shift.
Mia shone easily in after-school activities. She was a talented singer and won the ___1___ of all. The teachers praised her, and friends gathered around her, requesting her to sing. Ivy felt ___2___. Mia, however, didn’t know it and went her way as usual.
Ivy recognised a(n) ___3___ feeling when Mia was applauded, and an ache in the heart when she compared herself with Mia. Jealousy (嫉妒) grew silently in her heart, like a shadow.
One day, Mia came to Ivy and told her excitedly, “I’ve been selected for the inter-school competition!” Ivy ___4___ a smile. “That’s great” was all she said. That evening, she sat in her room, staring into space. Why her? Why not me? Such thoughts filled her mind.
She started ___5___ Mia. Their conversations became short. Having noticed this, Mia asked Ivy, “Did I hurt you? You seem to be ___6___.” Ivy hesitated, and then admitted how she felt.

After we had twins and became a family of five, my husband and I decided to move from London back to Yorkshire, to be closer to my parents. Around the same time, they sold their house and we decided to build them a bungalow (平房) in our garden. We moved them in with us until the build was complete.
Packing up my parents’ house felt like a massive goodbye — that bedroom, those memories, the feeling of safety and shelter I always felt there. That evening, I sat in the living room watching TV, temporarily free of my own responsibilities, lost in nostalgia (留恋). Even though I’m a grown woman in my 40s with my own family, it felt scary not to have “home” to go back to.
On our final morning in the house, we took a break from the mind-bending, never-ending work of packing to sit down for that last breakfast. Mum voiced what we were all thinking: It was strange to see the place so empty. I worried that they’d begin to think they’d made a mistake.
“How do you feel?” I asked. There was a silence as Dad continued to drink his tea, and I held my breath.
“Well, it’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?” he replied.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief: I had expected sadness, maybe even doubt, but Dad was already looking to the future. His response had an impact on me.
Yes, it was a huge goodbye in so many ways, but it was also the start of something new — an adventure in multigenerational living. I realised this wasn’t about loss at all, but about movement and trust. Hearing Dad’s cheerfulness, I realised that what I’d been seeing as “the end of an era” was actually the start of a new one. Sitting at the table, making my mini sandwich, I realised I was ready for our next chapter.
24. After they had twins, the author and her husband decided to ________.
A. visit her parents
B. move back to Yorkshire
C. rent a house for the family
D. raise their children in London
25. During the breakfast, the author worried that ________.
A. she might lose her shelter in the future
B. there would be too much work in packing
C. her parents might regret selling their house
D. it would be hard to live a multigenerational life
26. How did the author feel after hearing her dad’s response?
A. Uplifted.B. Puzzled.
C. Concerned.D. Honoured.
27. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. Silence is the best cure for nostalgia.
B. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
C. Optimism lights the path for tomorrow.
D. Parenting sets the pace of a child’s growth.
C
Smells are all around us. What we know as a scent (气味) is a collection of natural or artificial airborne chemicals released from objects. But smell is often overlooked and undervalued. So, as climate change and biodiversity loss threaten natural scents, many people may not even notice.
Whether or not we pay attention to the world’s “scentscape”, heat and pollution are causing it to shift. As temperatures rise, man-made substances release more scent molecules (分子), and biodiversity loss due to climate change threatens the plants that scent the environment. “If you go to a forest, you have a given environment and temperature. If that temperature goes a little bit high, the profile of the chemical components in the air changes,” since temperature can affect the amount of smell-carrying gas particles (粒子) released from substances, explains John Smith, a chemical engineer. “And therefore, the perception of how the forest smells changes.”
That effect extends beyond forests. Snow — already threatened by a warming climate — absorbs different chemicals from the atmosphere as temperatures rise, which changes its cold-clean scent. Warmer conditions can intensify smells, leading the snow to smell more unpleasant and potentially gather more pollutants.
Climate change is also quickening the loss of biodiversity, threatening to erase certain smells entirely. When plants disappear, their scents become more difficult to produce.
Some scents are linked to cultural heritage. A recent study reported that native communities in Peru noticed a change in the smell of the Amazon River due to industrial pollution. Over generations, communities became desensitised to increasingly smelly rivers, a sign of broader ecosystem degradation. At the same time, in some Amazonian belief systems, declining water quality and the unpleasant smells will lead to the dispersal (消散) of the river’s spiritual beings. The damage to the scentscape could result in harm to both health and spiritual practice.
Even though we have other valuable things endangered by climate change, like food access, there is also an element of cultural identity, cultural survival, and history. If we don’t look at it, we lose all the richness behind it.
28. The author mentions snow in order to _____________.
A. illustrate a pointB. contrast approaches
C. classify objectsD. define a concept
29. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Biodiversity tends to be overlooked.
B. Snow is intensified by a warming climate.
C. Forest smell is likely to be changed by perception.
D. Disappearance of the Earth’s smells can be a cultural loss.
30. What is implied in this passage?
A. Loss of smells can lead to natural disasters.
B. Damages of scentscapes can be artificially repaired.
C. Scents of the missing plants are preserved in the atmosphere.
D. Smell changes of forest and snow share a common underlying cause.
D
The 21st century has created a whole range of new types of professionals that we have never had before — or if not quite new, at least newly repackaged. The world has always had influential people, for instance, but only now do we have “Influencer”. Similarly, the corporate world has certainly known its fair share of disruption, yet it is only in the last couple of decades that the “Disruptor” has become a recognisable figure in the way we talk about big business.
In an earlier era, the Disruptor would have been called an Innovator. Yet while an Innovator creates something new, the Disruptor is defined as much by what they destroy as by what they create. The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem. It’s an attitude best summed up as “Move fast and break things.”
Back in 1929, G. K. Chesterton identified the core problem with moving fast and breaking things through a thought experiment. Imagine there is a fence along a road. Suppose it’s been there a long time, and was put there for some purpose. But that purpose is lost over time. To us, now, the fence seems to be nothing but an impediment. Why not remove it?
When faced with such a fence, Chesterton thinks the fact that we can’t see the point of the fence is why we should not tear it down. Some fences keep foxes out of henhouses, for instance. If you think you can do without the fence because you’ve never seen a fox, consider if the existence of the fence is precisely why you’ve never seen one.
Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition. We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them. If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon. But uncritical devotion to the “way things are done” can also deny us the possibility of better days.
What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive. Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess. We need the ability to work out which messes are worth avoiding — because however impressively fast you move, some things can’t be easily unbroken.
31. Regarding Chesterton’s principle, the author is _____________.
A. supportiveB. doubtful
C. conflictedD. disappointed
32. What does the word “impetuous” underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Short-sighted.B. Narrow-minded.
C. Hot-headed.D. Old-fashioned.
33. What can we infer from this passage about the Disruptor?
A. They may clear up other people’s mess.
B. They are in favour of the preventive principle.
C. They preserve more traditions than they break.
D. They may create more problems than they solve.
34. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Humility should be a driving force for human progress.
B. Innovation should move forward the wheel of tradition.
C. Reform should draw from the wellspring of past wisdom.
D. Disruption should be given priority in social development.

Most of us have experienced both how good it can feel and how hard it can be to do the right thing. Helping strangers can leave you with a deep sense of satisfaction, but you’ve likely also felt the stress of showing up for others when you’re already stretched thin. These ordinary moments speak to a philosophical puzzle: Are moral people happier? ____35____ Others might reason that moral behavior often requires self-sacrifice.
____36____ Past studies clearly show that people feel good when they perform acts of kindness for others. But researchers had not directly examined if moral character, broadly speaking, is linked to well-being. So my team conducted a set of studies to take this challenge seriously.
In one of our studies, undergraduate students reported on their own well-being, rating their happiness as well as their sense of how meaningful their life is. ____37____ Then these close others, such as friends and family members, rated the participant’s moral character using our questionnaire (调查问卷), which asked how much that person had the various characteristics identified as most morally relevant. ____38____
Doing the right thing isn’t always easy. ____39____But our findings indicate that, in general, there’s no trade-off between morality and well-being. Instead, people with stronger moral character tend to experience greater meaning in life and happiness. This suggests that moments of moral effort may be part of a life that, taken as a whole, feels more satisfying.
A. Until recently, scientific evidence had been limited to one aspect of morality: kindness.
B. Despite various debates, there’s no agreement on what it means to be morally good.
C. Standing up for someone who is being treated unfairly can feel uncomfortable.
D. Some might assume morality and happiness naturally go together.
E. They also gave us contact information for people who know them.
F. We found that those rated as more moral reported a stronger sense of well-being.
G. This might be in part because of the difficulties of defining and measuring kindness.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题、请在答题卡指定区域作答。
“Winners never quit and quitters never win.” It’s a great expression of our admiration of courage and persistence (坚持). But as Aristotle observed over 2,000 years ago, actions pushed to their extreme turn into disasters.
There is a famous story about the Scottish king Robert the Bruce. Robert hid in a cave after his sixth defeat by the English, and there he watched a spider (蜘蛛) try to secure its web to the cave wall. The spider tried and failed six times before finally succeeding. Robert then decided to return to the fight, winning independence for the Scots — on the seventh attempt.
King Robert’s story offers a deep well of inspiration for those who most need it. But lately I’ve been thinking about a possibility the story ignores. What if the spider had been climbing the wrong corner of the cave?
There’s a crucial difference between failing at the right thing and persisting at the wrong one. When we fail at the right thing, persistence makes sense. We learn, adjust, and try again. But when we persist with the wrong thing, every bit of effort takes us further from where we are meant to be.
Quitting is in fact necessary for growth. By ending something, we create space for something new to grow. We need to exit the things that don’t work anymore to be able to enter the ones that make sense for who we are today.
We can imagine a different version of King Robert’s story. In this story, the spider falls a seventh time. It stops on the stone floor — and then turns, moving slowly towards a different corner of the cave, where the wind is calmer and the flies more plentiful.
40. What is Aristotle’s observation according to this passage?

41. Why is quitting necessary for growth?

42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.

44.范文：
Dear Jim,
I’m thrilled to receive your email asking about our school’s “When Sports Meet AI” event held last month. It was a truly eye-opening experience that showed me how technology is revolutionizing the world of sports.
We got hands-on experience with AI-powered fitness devices that analyzed our basketball shots in real time and gave personalized tips to improve our accuracy. We also attended an engaging lecture on how AI helps professional athletes optimize their training and avoid career-threatening injuries.
For me, this activity completely transformed my perception of artificial intelligence. I used to associate AI with science fiction, but now I see it as a practical tool that can enhance every aspect of our daily lives, even something as simple as playing sports.
Yours,
Li Hua

第一部分：知识运用（共两节，30分）
第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）
参考译文：
艾薇和米娅曾是最好的朋友。但随着她们逐渐长大，情况发生了变化。
米娅在课外活动中很容易崭露头角。她是个有天赋的歌手，赢得了所有人的 1. (B. 赞赏)。老师们表扬她，朋友们围着她，请她唱歌。艾薇感到 2. (C. 被冷落)。然而，米娅并不知道这一点，像往常一样过着自己的生活。
当米娅受到喝彩时，艾薇感到一种 3. (C. 不安的) 情绪；当把自己和米娅比较时，她心中隐隐作痛。嫉妒如同阴影，在她心中悄然滋生。
一天，米娅找到艾薇，兴奋地告诉她：“我被选中参加校际比赛了！”艾薇 4. (B. 勉强挤出) 一个笑容，只说了句“那太好了”。那天晚上，她坐在房间里，茫然地盯着空中。为什么是她？为什么不是我？这样的想法充满了她的脑海。
她开始 5. (A. 回避) 米娅。她们的对话变短了。注意到这一点后，米娅问艾薇：“我伤害到你了吗？你似乎很 6. (C. 疏远)。”艾薇犹豫了一下，然后承认了自己的感受。米娅很惊讶，但温柔地笑了。“你知道吗？”她说，“我一直很钦佩你。我也许能 7. (D. 毫不费力地) 获得关注，但你拥有持续成长的力量。我们不是竞争关系。我们只是不同而已。”
随着时间的推移，这个 8. (B. 阴影) 消退了。艾薇终于意识到：嫉妒并非源于他人的成功——而是当我们忘记了自己的 9. (A. 价值) 时才会产生。一旦这种（对自身价值的）认识扎了根，就没有必要去 10. (D. 比较) 了。
答案解析：
【答案】B. admiration
解析： 考查名词。根据前文，Mia是“a talented singer”，所以她会赢得大家的“赞赏 (admiration)”，这与后文的“applauded”和“praised”相呼应。
A. credibility 可信度；C. sympathy 同情；D. confidence 信心。均不符合语境。
【答案】C. left out
解析： 考查动词短语。朋友都围着Mia，Ivy自然会感到被“冷落 (left out)”。
A. taken in 吸收，欺骗；B. picked on 刁难，选中；D. turned down 拒绝，关小。均不符合语境。
【答案】C. unsettled
解析： 考查形容词。根据后文“an ache in the heart”和“Jealousy grew”，Ivy看到Mia被表扬时产生了一种负面的、心神不宁的感觉，所以是“不安的 (unsettled)”。
A. contented 满足的；B. refreshing 令人耳目一新的；D. inclusive 包容的。均与负面的嫉妒情绪不符。
【答案】B. forced
解析： 考查动词。Ivy当时内心充满嫉妒，但面对朋友的好消息，她不得不“勉强挤出 (forced)”一个笑容。
A. radiated 流露，辐射；C. expected 期待；D. witnessed 目击。均无法体现她内心的矛盾。
【答案】A. avoiding
解析： 考查动词。从“Their conversations became short”可知，Ivy开始疏远并“回避 (avoiding)”Mia。
B. accepting 接受；C. forgiving 原谅；D. frightening 使害怕。均不符合逻辑。
【答案】C. distant
解析： 考查形容词。Mia注意到了Ivy的回避行为，因此问她是否被伤害了，并且指出她似乎很“疏远 (distant)”。
A. guilty 内疚的；B. shocked 震惊的；D. confused 困惑的。Mia的直接感受是关系变冷淡了，所以distant最贴切。
【答案】D. effortlessly
解析： 考查副词。Mia承认自己的才华，她说自己能“毫不费力地 (effortlessly)”获得关注，这与后文她夸赞Ivy有“持续成长的力量”形成对比。
A. fearlessly 无畏地；B. desperately 拼命地；C. hesitantly 犹豫地。均不符合天赋带来的轻松感。
【答案】B. shadow
解析： 考查名词。文章前面提到“Jealousy grew silently in her heart, like a shadow.”，所以随着心结解开，这个“阴影 (shadow)”自然就消退了，是词汇的复现。
A. hope 希望；C. bond 纽带，联系；D. light 光。均不符。
【答案】A. worth
解析： 考查名词。文章的主题是：嫉妒是因为忘记了自己的价值，看不到自己的优点。Mia正是提醒Ivy她也有自己的长处，所以Ivy意识到要看到自身的“价值 (worth)”。
B. limit 局限；C. past 过去；D. fault 错误。
【答案】D. compare
解析： 考查动词。全文的核心矛盾源于Ivy将自己与Mia进行“比较”。一旦认识到自身的价值，这种无谓的“比较 (compare)”就没必要了。
A. control 控制；B. comment 评论；C. confirm 确认。
第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）
A 篇
参考译文：
昨晚我和爸爸在一家杂货店。收银员结算完所有商品后，爸爸伸手去拿钱包，却愣住了。他 11. (忘记带) 钱包了。我记得他脸上的 12. (尴尬)。收银员已经扫描了所有商品，我们后面还有几个人 13. (在等)。出乎意料地，一位男士 14. (走上前)，把卡递给收银员，说：“让我来吧。”
答案解析：
had forgotten
解析： 考查动词时态。“忘记带钱包”发生在“reached for his wallet and froze”之前，即“过去的过去”，需用过去完成时。
embarrassment
解析： 考查词性转换。定冠词“the”后需接名词，“embarrass”的名词形式是“embarrassment”。
waiting
解析： 考查非谓语动词。此处是“there be + 名词 + 现在分词”结构，表示“有……正在……”。people和wait是主动关系，所以用waiting。
stepped
解析： 考查动词时态。整个故事发生在过去，“and said”也提示此空为一般过去时，描述过去连续发生的动作。
B 篇
参考译文：
一位家庭成员结束了为期一年的旅行归来，你去机场接她。当你看到她向你走来时，你感到一种深深的连结感 15. (从内心) 涌起。听起来很熟悉吧？你可能不知道这个术语，但这种感觉就是“kama muta”，一种最近被 16. (命名) 的情感，它标志着我们生命中一些最重要的时刻。通过有意识地寻找机会来 17. (激发) 这种感受，你就能为生活注入更多意义。
答案解析：
within / inside
解析： 考查介词。“well up”意为“涌起，迸发”，指的是情感从内心深处涌出，所以用“within you”或“inside you”表示“在你内心”。
named
解析： 考查非谓语动词。emotion与name（命名）之间是被动关系，“一种最近被命名的情感”，所以用过去分词作定语。
to stimulate
解析： 考查非谓语动词。“opportunities to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“做某事的机会”，不定式作后置定语。
C 篇
参考译文：
大学的 18. (设计) 遵循法国古典悲剧的“三一律”：时间、行动和地点。学生们在他们二十多岁的时候（时间一致）相聚在大学校园（地点一致）上课（行动一致）。到目前为止，这种模式已经 19. (造就) 了许多著名大学，但它现在正受到社会数字化的挑战，数字化使得所有 20. 连接 互联网的人都能获取学习资源。
答案解析：
are designed
解析： 考查动词语态和主谓一致。Universities 与 design 之间是被动关系，且此处陈述客观事实，主语是复数，因此用一般现在时的被动语态 are designed。
has produced
解析： 考查动词时态。时间状语“So far”通常与现在完成时连用，主语“this model”是单数，故用 has produced。
who
解析： 考查定语从句。先行词是不定代词“everybody”，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，因此用 who 引导定语从句。

B 篇
参考译文：
我们有了双胞胎，变成五口之家后，我和丈夫决定从伦敦搬回约克郡，离我的父母近一些。大约在同一时间，他们卖掉了自己的房子，我们决定在我们的花园里为他们建一栋平房。在房子建成之前，我们让他们搬来和我们一起住。
打包我父母的房子感觉像是一个盛大的告别——那间卧室，那些回忆，还有我在那里总能感受到的庇护感。那天晚上，我坐在客厅里看电视，暂时摆脱了自己的责任，沉浸在留恋之中。尽管我已经是个40多岁、有自己家庭的成熟女性，但想到没有“娘家”可回了，还是觉得很恐慌。
在那所房子里的最后一个早晨，我们从令人头昏脑涨、无休无止的打包工作中停下来，吃了最后一顿早餐。妈妈说出了我们所有人的心声：看到这地方如此空荡荡，感觉真奇怪。我担心他们会开始觉得自己犯了个错误。
“你们感觉怎么样？”我问道。爸爸继续喝茶，沉默了一会儿，我屏住了呼吸。
“嗯，这太棒了，不是吗？”他回答道。
我大大松了一口气：我本以为会是悲伤，甚至是怀疑，但爸爸已经在展望未来了。他的回答对我触动很大。
是的，从很多方面来说，这是一个盛大的告别，但它也是一些新事物的开始——一次多代同堂生活的冒险。我意识到这根本不是失去，而是迁移和信任。听到爸爸的乐观话语，我意识到，我一直视为“一个时代终结”的事情，实际上是一个新时代的开始。坐在餐桌旁，做着自己的小三明治，我意识到，我已经为我们的下一个篇章做好了准备。
答案解析：
【答案】B. move back to Yorkshire
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句：“After we had twins...my husband and I decided to move from London back to Yorkshire...”可知，他们决定搬回约克郡。
【答案】C. her parents might regret selling their house
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句：“I worried that they’d begin to think they’d made a mistake.”可知，作者担心父母会后悔卖掉房子这个决定。
【答案】A. Uplifted.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第六段：“I breathed a huge sigh of relief”和第七段：“Hearing Dad’s cheerfulness, I realised that...I was ready for our next chapter.”可知，父亲积极乐观的回答让作者如释重负，感到振奋、鼓舞，准备迎接新生活。Uplifted意为“振奋的，鼓舞的”。
【答案】C. Optimism lights the path for tomorrow.
解析： 主旨大意题。文章讲述作者因告别旧居而伤感，但父亲一句“这太棒了”的乐观态度感染了她，让她从失落中走出来，看到新生活的希望。故事的核心是父亲的乐观 (Optimism) 点亮了作者对未来的看法 (lights the path for tomorrow)。
C 篇
参考译文：
气味无处不在。我们所说的气味，是物体释放的一系列天然或人造的空气传播化学物质。但气味常常被忽视和低估。因此，当气候变化和生物多样性丧失威胁到自然气味时，许多人甚至可能不会注意到。
无论我们是否关注世界的“气味景观”，高温和污染正在使其发生改变。随着气温升高，人造物质会释放出更多气味分子，而气候变化导致的生物多样性丧失则威胁着那些为环境提供气味的植物。化学工程师约翰·史密斯解释说：“如果你去到一片森林，那里有特定的环境和温度。如果温度升高一点，空气中化学成分的构成就会改变，”因为温度会影响物质释放的携带气味的气体粒子的数量。“因此，对森林气味的感知也随之改变。”
这种影响超出了森林的范围。已经受到气候变暖威胁的雪，随着温度升高，会从大气中吸收不同的化学物质，从而改变其清冷的气味。更温暖的环境会加剧气味，导致雪的气味更难闻，并可能聚集更多污染物。
气候变化也在加速生物多样性的丧失，威胁着某些气味的彻底消失。当植物消失时，它们的气味就变得难以产生。
有些气味与文化遗产相关联。最近的一项研究报告称，秘鲁的原住民社区注意到，由于工业污染，亚马逊河的气味发生了变化。几代人下来，社区对日益发臭的河流变得麻木，这是更广泛的生态系统退化的标志。同时，在一些亚马逊信仰体系中，水质下降和难闻的气味将导致河流中神灵的消散。对气味景观的破坏可能会对健康和灵修实践造成损害。
尽管我们还有其他因气候变化而濒危的宝贵事物，如食物来源，但其中也包含着文化认同、文化存续和历史的元素。如果我们不去关注它，我们就会失去其背后所有的丰富内涵。
答案解析：
【答案】A. illustrate a point
解析： 写作意图题。第二段以森林为例说明温度如何改变气味，第三段开头“That effect extends beyond forests.”引出雪的例子，是为了进一步说明并扩展“气候变化改变气味”这一观点 (illustrate a point)。
【答案】D. Disappearance of the Earth’s smells can be a cultural loss.
解析： 推理判断题。第五段明确指出某些气味与文化传承有关（linked to cultural heritage），并举例说明亚马逊河气味改变对原住民的文化和灵修实践造成了伤害。最后一段也强调了气味背后的文化认同和历史，因此气味的消失是文化的损失。
【答案】D. Smell changes of forest and snow share a common underlying cause.
解析： 推理判断题。第二段分析森林气味改变的原因是气温升高改变了化学分子释放量；第三段分析雪的气味改变也是因为气温升高吸收了不同化学物质。两者的根本原因 (common underlying cause) 都是气候变暖导致的温度变化。
D 篇
参考译文：
21世纪创造了一系列我们前所未见的全新专业人士——或者说，如果不是全新的，至少也是被重新包装过的。例如，世界上一直都有有影响力的人，但直到现在我们才有了“网红(Influencer)”。同样，企业界无疑也经历过不少颠覆，但直到最近二十年，“颠覆者(Disruptor)”才成为我们谈论大型商业时一个公认的角色。
在更早的时代，颠覆者会被称作创新者(Innovator)。然而，创新者创造新事物，而颠覆者的定义不仅在于他们创造了什么，同样也在于他们破坏了什么。颠覆者强行推动变革；收拾残局是别人的问题。这种态度可以被概括为“快速行动，打破常规”。
早在1929年，G. K. 切斯特顿就通过一个思想实验指出了“快速行动，打破常规”的核心问题。想象一下，路边有一道篱笆。假设它在那里很久了，当初是为了某个目的而设立的。但随着时间的推移，那个目的被遗忘了。现在对我们来说，这道篱笆似乎仅仅是一个障碍。为什么不把它拆掉呢？
当面对这样一道篱笆时，切斯特顿认为，我们看不出篱笆存在的意义，恰恰是为什么我们不应该把它拆掉。比如，有些篱笆是用来防止狐狸进入鸡舍的。如果你认为可以没有这道篱笆，因为你从没见过狐狸，那么请想一想，这道篱笆的存在是否正是你从没见过狐狸的原因。
重要的是，切斯特顿并不是说事情永远不能改革。他的原则是一种预防性原则，而非彻底的禁令。我们可以这样重新表述：在摒弃过去的决定之前，要先理解其中蕴含的智慧。如果我们太鲁莽，最终可能会拆掉那些我们尚未意识到自己依赖着的东西。但是，对“事情一贯的做法”不加批判地信奉，同样会剥夺我们迎来更好日子的可能性。
那么，我们所需要的不是颠覆者的无所畏惧，而是谦卑，去停下来提出问题，并认识到我们自己的视角既非独一无二，也非全面无遗。颠覆可以是一股向善的力量。它也可能只是留下一堆烂摊子。我们需要有能力去分辨哪些烂摊子值得避免——因为无论你行动得多么迅速、多么令人印象深刻，有些东西一旦打破，就很难复原。
答案解析：
【答案】A. supportive
解析： 观点态度题。第五段作者正面解读了切斯特顿的原则，称之为“preventive principle”，并进行了积极的解释（“understand the wisdom...before you reject them”）。最后一段作者也提出我们需要“the humility to stop and ask questions”，这与切斯特顿原则的核心思想一致。因此作者是“支持的 (supportive)”。
【答案】C. Hot-headed.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第五段划线词后文“we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon”可知，这种行为会导致我们鲁莽地拆掉赖以生存的东西。这种行为的特点是未加思考就行动，因此“Hot-headed”（急躁的，鲁莽的）最符合。同时，这与文章批判的“Move fast and break things”的态度相呼应。
【答案】D. They may create more problems than they solve.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“the clean-up is somebody else’s problem”和最后一段“Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess.”可知，颠覆者虽然解决了一些问题，但可能造成更多、更大的烂摊子。因此他们制造的问题可能比解决的要多。
【答案】C. Reform should draw from the wellspring of past wisdom.
解析： 主旨大意题。文章通过批判“颠覆者”不顾后果的行为，引入切斯特顿的原则，强调在改革或改变前，应先理解既有事物存在的历史智慧。最后一段呼吁需要的不是“fearlessness”而是“humility”，进一步点明主旨：改革应从过去的智慧中汲取营养 (draw from the wellspring of past wisdom)。
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
参考译文：
我们大多数人都体验过做正确的事感觉有多好，也体验过它有多难。帮助陌生人可以给你带来深深的满足感，但你也可能在自顾不暇时，因要帮助别人而感到压力。这些平凡的时刻引出了一个哲学谜题：有道德的人是否更幸福？35. D. 有些人可能认为道德和幸福自然相伴而行。 另一些人可能会说，道德行为常常需要自我牺牲。
36. A. 直到最近，科学证据还仅限于道德的一个方面：善良。 过去的研究清楚地表明，当人们为他人做出善举时，他们会感觉良好。但研究人员此前并未直接研究过，广义上的道德品质是否与幸福感相关联。所以我的团队进行了一系列研究来认真对待这个挑战。
在我们的一项研究中，本科生报告了他们自己的幸福感，评估了他们的快乐程度以及对生活意义的感知。37. E. 他们还向我们提供了认识他们的人的联系方式。 然后，这些亲近的人，如朋友和家人，使用我们的调查问卷来评估参与者的道德品质，该问卷询问此人在多大程度上具有那些被认定为最道德相关的各种特征。38. F. 我们发现，那些被评为更有道德的人，报告了更强的幸福感。
做正确的事并不总是容易的。39. C. 为受到不公平对待的人挺身而出可能会让人感到不舒服。 但我们的研究结果表明，总的来说，道德和幸福之间不存在权衡取舍。相反，拥有更坚强道德品质的人往往会体验到更强的生活意义感和幸福感。这表明，付出道德努力的时刻，可能是一段整体上更令人满意的生活的一部分。
答案解析：
【答案】D
解析： 空前句提出哲学谜题“Are moral people happier?”，空后句“Others might reason...”是另一种观点。由此可知，此处应填入一些人的观点，与“Others”形成对比。D选项“有些人可能认为道德和幸福自然相伴而行”符合逻辑。
【答案】A
解析： 空后句提到“Past studies clearly show that people feel good when they perform acts of kindness...But researchers had not directly examined if moral character, broadly speaking, is linked to well-being.” 这说明过去的研究只关注了“善良 (kindness)”这一个方面。A选项“直到最近，科学证据还仅限于道德的一个方面：善良”能很好地总结这一现状，并引出更广泛的研究。
【答案】E
解析： 空前说学生报告了自身的幸福感，空后说“Then these close others...rated the participant’s moral character”。由此可知，中间缺少一个连接步骤，即如何找到这些“亲近的人”。E选项“他们还向我们提供了认识他们的人的联系方式”承上启下，符合逻辑。
【答案】F
解析： 本段描述研究过程和结果，且为段尾句。前面详细描述了如何收集数据（自己报告+他人评价），此空应总结研究发现。F选项“我们发现，那些被评为更有道德的人，报告了更强的幸福感”给出了结论，与下一段开头的总结也相呼应。
【答案】C
解析： 空前句“Doing the right thing isn’t always easy.”是主题句，空后句“But our findings indicate...”出现转折，引出积极的发现。因此，此空应具体举例说明“做正确的事有多不容易”。C选项“为受到不公平对待的人挺身而出可能会让人感到不舒服”正是这样一个具体的、有挑战性的例子。
第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
参考译文：
“胜者永不放弃，弃者永无胜绩。” 这句话极好地表达了我们对勇气和坚持的钦佩。但正如亚里士多德在两千多年前观察到的那样，被推向极端的行为会变成灾难。
有一个关于苏格兰国王罗伯特·布鲁斯的著名故事。罗伯特在第六次被英国人击败后躲在一个山洞里，在那里他看到一只蜘蛛试图把网固定在洞壁上。蜘蛛尝试了六次都失败了，最终在第七次成功了。罗伯特于是决定重返战场，为苏格兰人赢得了独立——在第七次尝试时。
罗伯特国王的故事为最需要它的人提供了深厚的灵感源泉。但最近我一直在思考这个故事所忽略的一种可能性。如果那只蜘蛛一直爬错了洞壁角落呢？
在做正确的事情上失败和坚持做错误的事情之间有至关重要的区别。当我们在正确的事情上失败时，坚持是有意义的。我们学习、调整，然后再次尝试。但当我们坚持做错误的事情时，每一次努力都让我们离我们应有的归宿更远。
事实上，放弃对于成长是必要的。通过结束一些事情，我们为新的东西的生长创造了空间。我们需要退出那些不再有效的事情，才能进入那些对今天的我们来说有意义的事情。
我们可以想象罗伯特国王故事的一个不同版本。在这个版本里，蜘蛛第七次掉了下来。它停在石地上——然后转身，慢慢地爬向洞穴的另一个角落，那里的风更平静，苍蝇也更多。
答案解析：
What is Aristotle’s observation according to this passage?
答案： Actions pushed to their extreme turn into disasters.
解析： 直接信息题。文章第一段最后一句明确指出：“...as Aristotle observed over 2,000 years ago, actions pushed to their extreme turn into disasters.”
Why is quitting necessary for growth?
答案： Because quitting creates space for something new to grow and allows us to focus on what suits us now. / Because by ending something, we create space for something new to grow and can enter things that make sense for who we are today.
解析： 细节归纳题。文章第五段给出了答案：“By ending something, we create space for something new to grow. We need to exit the things that don’t work anymore to be able to enter the ones that make sense for who we are today.” 用自己的话将其概括即可。
Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Failing at the right thing takes us further from where we are meant to be.
答案： Failing at the right thing takes us further from where we are meant to be.
解释： The statement is false. According to the passage, it is persisting with the wrong thing that takes us further from where we are meant to be. Failing at the right thing is a normal part of growth where we can learn, adjust, and try again.解析： 辨析题。错误部分在句子的谓语结构上。根据第四段“When we fail at the right thing, persistence makes sense... But when we persist with the wrong thing, every bit of effort takes us further from where we are meant to be.”可知，“让我们偏离应有归宿”的是“坚持做错误的事”，而不是“在正确的事上失败”。后者是成长的一部分，让我们学习、调整、再尝试。
How can you apply the idea of “moving towards a different corner” to a real-life challenge? (In about 40 words)
答案（示例1）： When I found myself constantly struggling with advanced physics despite my hard work, I realised it was not my true strength. I then “moved towards a different corner” by shifting my focus to literature, where my passion and talent truly lay.
答案（示例2）： I once tried hard to be a leader in a group project but failed to manage the team well. Instead of pushing blindly, I applied this idea by stepping down to become a supportive team member, where my research skills were much more valuable.
解析： 开放性问题。答题时需包含：1）一个具体的现实生活中的挑战；2）解释如何运用“moving towards a different corner”的策略（即：放弃原有路径，转换方向，做出调整），字数控制在40词左右。
第二节 书面表达（20分）
范文翻译：
亲爱的吉姆，
很高兴收到你的邮件，询问我们学校上个月举办的“当运动遇见AI”活动的情况。这真是一次令人大开眼界的经历，向我展示了科技如何革新体育世界。
我们亲身体验了AI驱动的健身设备，这些设备能实时分析我们的投篮动作，并给出个性化建议以提高准确度。我们还参加了一场引人入胜的讲座，内容是关于AI如何帮助职业运动员优化训练和避免威胁职业生涯的伤病。
对我来说，这次活动彻底改变了我对人工智能的看法。我过去常把AI与科幻小说联系在一起，但现在我把它看作一个实用工具，可以改善我们日常生活的方方面面，即使是像运动这样简单的事情也不例外。
你的，
李华
