Growing up, Maitri Wadher, a left-hander, has struggled to cope in a world made for right-handed people. From school desks to spiral notebooks that stop the natural flow of writing, Maitri has faced tough challenges from a young age. “My mother used to tie my left hand and make me eat with my right until a doctor warned that this could significantly affect my growth and confidence,” Maitri says.
This childhood experience had gnawed (折磨) at the back of her mind, pushing her to do something to ease the lives of fellow left-handers. In September 2018, she started The Left Out Store, which makes everyday products ranging from left-handed writing tools and scissors to kitchen tools for left-handed people.
Starting The Left Out Store wasn’t in the cards for Maitri for a very long time. The idea for The Left Out Store came to Maitri in just 20 minutes during a festival at St. Joseph’s Institute of Management, where she was a post-graduate student. She presented the rough idea to judges who later became sponsors, and they enthusiastically supported it. This encouragement gave her the push to make it a market research project to test the waters and explore the potential market.
Initially, Maitri faced a few hiccups. It took her quite some time to find vendors (小贩) and make them understand how to make the products. With everything in place, Maitri went through a tough time reaching customers. The first time she made a proper sale was at an exhibition at Lalit Ashok. “People were surprised at first, but gradually more left-handed people began approaching me, and said they relate to my struggles.” Since then, she has been regularly marketing her products at exhibitions, and keeps The Left Out Store active on social media.
4 What challenge did Maitri face as a left-hander while growing up
A. Unfair judgement. B. Lack of parents’ love.
C. Limited access to education. D. Struggle with school tools.
5. How did Maitri turn her idea into a reality
A. By seeking student sponsors. B. By conducting market research.
C. By expanding the potential market. D. By carrying out her long-thought plan.
6. What does the underlined word “hiccups” probably mean
A. Barriers. B. Threats C. Complaints. D. Oppositions.
7. What might be a suitable title for the passage
A. A Left-Hander’s Struggles B. Maitri’s Marketing Strategies
C. Maitri: A Social Media Celebrity D. The Left Out Store: Maitri’s Journey
C
This year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s first manned space mission, with Yang Liwei becoming the first Chinese astronaut to go to space. Since then, another 19 astronauts have reached for the stars. The selection of the fourth generation of astronauts began in 2022 and is now in full swing. Experts revealed how tough the training is before astronauts can fly to space.
The human body is not designed for space life. Astronauts are faced with multiple challenges on a space mission. The changes in gravity can have an impact on their bodies. The sensation of confinement(封闭)living in a small spacecraft for months can damage their mental health. Emergencies during missions challenge their knowledge and ability to solve problems under huge pressure. So it’s no wonder that astronauts have to meet extremely high standards and go through a tough training program.
To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their missions and return to Earth safely, “Eight types, including over 200 subjects of training, were set,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. Apart from physical fitness training, it also includes basic scientific theories, psychological health, and mock(模拟)missions.
Among the training subjects, the most tiring one is underwater training. This training is designed for astronauts to adapt to the microgravity environment in space. According to Huang, astronauts stay underwater in suits weighing over 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. Water resistance(阻力)and the heavy suit make every move exhausting. “Nie Haisheng, one of the astronauts, once reported a two-kilogram loss in weight after one underwater training exercise,” said Huang. Each astronaut receives training for at least three and a half years before having the chance to go to space.
8. How many generations of Chinese astronauts have been sent to space
A. 3 B. 4 C. 19 D. 20
9. Which of following is true according to paragraph 2
A. Human body is perfect for space exploration.
B. The spacecraft has enough space for astronauts to operate.
C. Astronauts ought to complete missions under huge pressure.
D. The isolated condition in space benefits people’s mental health.
10. Why did Huang mention Nie Haisheng’s two-kilogram weight loss
A. To stress how challenging the training is. B. To describe Nie’s personal achievements.
C. To introduce the weight limit for astronauts. D. To explain the importance of proper training.
11. What does this passage mainly about
A. Microgravity environment cause health problems.
B. Astronauts need tough training to meet various challenges.
C. China has completed numerous missions in space exploration.
D. Experts reveals the high standards of selection process of astronauts.
D
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs—they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study. subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
12. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
13. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
14. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
They called him “Donnie the Dung Beetle”. Donald didn’t mind the comparison, as he knew that African dung beetles(粪金龟)were known for moving things a thousand times their own body weight. However, his classmates in Mrs. Beecher’s third-grade class probably didn’t know this fact. Nobody knew insects like Donald did, and he figured that being compared to a dung beetle was not a praise.
One day, Richie made fun of Donald, pointing towards a container under the window where a small brown ball hung from a branch. Donald tried to explain that it was an egg case of a praying mantis(螳螂), and the exciting part would be when the eggs hatched. But Richie didn’t understand, and neither did most of the other kids. Donald had brought the egg case from his backyard and was excited when Mrs. Beecher agreed to make it their class project. He thought having an insect as a class pet might finally give him something to talk about with the other kids. But after two months of staring at a lifeless brown ball, Donald began to lose hope.
During science class one day, Mrs. Beecher announced they would start by writing in their journals. As Donald opened his journal, a left over particle from his lunch rolled across the page. When he went to brush it off, he realized it wasn’t a particle at all —it was a tiny praying mantis, barely the size of a grain of rice! Donald bounced out of his seat, crying out that the eggs were hatching.
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the classroom as more baby mantises started appearing everywhere. Kids were jumping out of their seats, screaming and waving their arms. Mrs. Beecher quickly took charge, asking why the lid of the container was off. Richie, who was supposed to check on the container that day, had forgotten to put the lid back on.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Donald took charge of the situation, directing Richie to get paintbrushes and white paper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the successful rescue, Mrs. Beecher asked the class to write about this special experience.

Growing up, Maitri Wadher, a left-hander, has struggled to cope in a world made for right-handed people. From school desks to spiral notebooks that stop the natural flow of writing, Maitri has faced tough challenges from a young age. “My mother used to tie my left hand and make me eat with my right until a doctor warned that this could significantly affect my growth and confidence,” Maitri says.
This childhood experience had gnawed (折磨) at the back of her mind, pushing her to do something to ease the lives of fellow left-handers. In September 2018, she started The Left Out Store, which makes everyday products ranging from left-handed writing tools and scissors to kitchen tools for left-handed people.
Starting The Left Out Store wasn’t in the cards for Maitri for a very long time. The idea for The Left Out Store came to Maitri in just 20 minutes during a festival at St. Joseph’s Institute of Management, where she was a post-graduate student. She presented the rough idea to judges who later became sponsors, and they enthusiastically supported it. This encouragement gave her the push to make it a market research project to test the waters and explore the potential market.
Initially, Maitri faced a few hiccups. It took her quite some time to find vendors (小贩) and make them understand how to make the products. With everything in place, Maitri went through a tough time reaching customers. The first time she made a proper sale was at an exhibition at Lalit Ashok. “People were surprised at first, but gradually more left-handed people began approaching me, and said they relate to my struggles.” Since then, she has been regularly marketing her products at exhibitions, and keeps The Left Out Store active on social media.
4. What challenge did Maitri face as a left-hander while growing up
A. Unfair judgement. B. Lack of parents’ love.
C. Limited access to education. D. Struggle with school tools.
5. How did Maitri turn her idea into a reality
A. By seeking student sponsors. B. By conducting market research.
C. By expanding the potential market. D. By carrying out her long-thought plan.
6. What does the underlined word “hiccups” probably mean
A. Barriers. B. Threats C. Complaints. D. Oppositions.
7. What might be a suitable title for the passage
A. A Left-Hander’s Struggles B. Maitri’s Marketing Strategies
C. Maitri: A Social Media Celebrity D. The Left Out Store: Maitri’s Journey
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Maitri因为是左撇子，从小在学校遇到了很多困难。于是后来她萌生了创办“左手商店”的想法，并通过努力付诸实践。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“From school desks to spiral notebooks that stop the natural flow of writing, Maitri has faced tough challenges from a young age.(从学校的课桌到阻止书写自然流畅的螺旋笔记本，Maitri从小就面临着严峻的挑战)”可知，作为一名左撇子，Maitri在成长过程中遇到的挑战是与学校工具作斗争。故选D。

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This encouragement gave her the push to make it a market research project to test the waters and explore the potential market.(这种鼓励促使她把它变成一个市场研究项目，以试水和探索潜在市场)”可知，Maitri通过开展市场研究项目把她的想法变成现实。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“It took her quite some time to find vendors (小贩) and make them understand how to make the products.(她花了很长时间才找到供应商，并让他们了解如何制作产品)”可知，她花了很长时间才找到供应商，并让他们了解如何制作产品，说明一开始遇到了障碍。故划线词意思是“障碍”。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“This childhood experience had gnawed (折磨) at the back of her mind, pushing her to do something to ease the lives of fellow left-handers.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s first manned space mission, with Yang Liwei becoming the first Chinese astronaut to go to space. Since then, another 19 astronauts have reached for the stars. The selection of the fourth generation of astronauts began in 2022 and is now in full swing. Experts revealed how tough the training is before astronauts can fly to space.
The human body is not designed for space life. Astronauts are faced with multiple challenges on a space mission. The changes in gravity can have an impact on their bodies. The sensation of confinement(封闭)living in a small spacecraft for months can damage their mental health. Emergencies during missions challenge their knowledge and ability to solve problems under huge pressure. So it’s no wonder that astronauts have to meet extremely high standards and go through a tough training program.
To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their missions and return to Earth safely, “Eight types, including over 200 subjects of training, were set,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. Apart from physical fitness training, it also includes basic scientific theories, psychological health, and mock(模拟)missions.
Among the training subjects, the most tiring one is underwater training. This training is designed for astronauts to adapt to the microgravity environment in space. According to Huang, astronauts stay underwater in suits weighing over 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. Water resistance(阻力)and the heavy suit make every move exhausting. “Nie Haisheng, one of the astronauts, once reported a two-kilogram loss in weight after one underwater training exercise,” said Huang. Each astronaut receives training for at least three and a half years before having the chance to go to space.
8. How many generations of Chinese astronauts have been sent to space
A. 3 B. 4 C. 19 D. 20
9. Which of following is true according to paragraph 2
A. Human body is perfect for space exploration.
B. The spacecraft has enough space for astronauts to operate.
C. Astronauts ought to complete missions under huge pressure.
D. The isolated condition in space benefits people’s mental health.
10. Why did Huang mention Nie Haisheng’s two-kilogram weight loss
A. To stress how challenging the training is. B. To describe Nie’s personal achievements.
C. To introduce the weight limit for astronauts. D. To explain the importance of proper training.
11. What does this passage mainly about
A. Microgravity environment cause health problems.
B. Astronauts need tough training to meet various challenges.
C. China has completed numerous missions in space exploration.
D. Experts reveals the high standards of selection process of astronauts.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了宇航员在训练中要面临各种挑战和困难。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“The selection of the fourth generation of astronauts began in 2022 and is now in full swing. (第四代宇航员的选拔工作从2022年开始，目前正在全面展开。)”可知，第四代宇航员选拔开始于2022年并且现在还在进行中，所以到目前为止已经有三代的宇航员进入了太空。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段的“Emergencies during missions challenge their knowledge and ability to solve problems under huge pressure. (任务期间的紧急情况挑战了他们在巨大压力下解决问题的知识和能力。)”可知，宇航员应该在巨大的压力下完成太空中的工作。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Among the training subjects, the most tiring one is underwater training. (在训练科目中，最累人的是水下训练。)”和“Water resistance and the heavy suit make every move exhausting. (水的阻力和厚重的套装让每一步都筋疲力尽。)”可知，水下训练是最消耗体能的，所以下文举聂海胜的例子是为了进一步强调水下训练具有挑战性。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段的“Experts revealed how tough the training is before astronauts can fly to space. (专家透露了宇航员在飞向太空之前的训练有多么艰苦。)”引出宇航员的训练艰辛，第二段的“The human body is not designed for space life. Astronauts are faced with multiple challenges on a space mission. The changes in gravity can have an impact on their bodies. The sensation of confinement living in a small spacecraft for months can damage their mental health. Emergencies during missions challenge their knowledge and ability to solve problems under huge pressure. So it’s no wonder that astronauts have to meet extremely high standards and go through a tough training program.(人体不是为太空生活而设计的。宇航员在太空任务中面临着多重挑战。重力的变化会对他们的身体产生影响。在小型宇宙飞船中生活数月的禁闭感会损害他们的精神健康。任务期间的紧急情况挑战了他们在巨大压力下解决问题的知识和能力。因此，宇航员必须达到极高的标准，并经历严格的训练计划也就不足为奇了。)”及后续详细展开宇航员在训练中要面临的困难和挑战。由此可知，B选项“Astronauts need tough training to meet various challenges. (宇航员需要艰苦的训练来应对各种挑战)”能够概括文章主旨。故选B。
D
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs—they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study. subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
12. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
13. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
14. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了心理学家的一项“EC”理论表明，我们不是只有大脑负责人类的认知，我们的身体也负责思考或者解决问题。更准确地说思想塑造身体，身体同等程度地塑造思想。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. (EC理论认为我们的身体也负责思考或解决问题。)”可推知，“EC”理论让我们更接近人类认知的真相。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs—they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. (想想新生儿如何用他们的感官来理解周围的世界。他们没有情感，更多的是需要——他们不感到悲伤，他们只是饿了，需要食物。)”可推知，新生儿对周围环境的理解依靠的是身体感觉。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. (为了进一步证明，我们可以看看我们不假思索就使用的隐喻。)”和第四段“Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. (进一步的研究支持了身心相互作用。)”可知，两个自然段都是为了证明上文第三段“EC”的观点“Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. (年长的西方哲学家和主流语言研究人员认为这是事实，而“EC”理论认为大脑和身体作为一台有机的超级计算机协同工作，处理一切并形成反应。)”所以，作者想要印证的是人类的感官对思维有影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it (既然你已经有了身心互动的知识，为什么不使用它呢？)”以及下文中列举的两种现实生活中的情况“If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. (如果你度过了糟糕的一天，一杯热茶会给你带来一丝快乐。如果你知道自己身体很冷，在做任何人际决定之前先热身。)”可推知，最后一段作者的目的是鼓励读者把“EC”理论运用于现实生活中。故选B。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
They called him “Donnie the Dung Beetle”. Donald didn’t mind the comparison, as he knew that African dung beetles(粪金龟)were known for moving things a thousand times their own body weight. However, his classmates in Mrs. Beecher’s third-grade class probably didn’t know this fact. Nobody knew insects like Donald did, and he figured that being compared to a dung beetle was not a praise.
One day, Richie made fun of Donald, pointing towards a container under the window where a small brown ball hung from a branch. Donald tried to explain that it was an egg case of a praying mantis(螳螂), and the exciting part would be when the eggs hatched. But Richie didn’t understand, and neither did most of the other kids. Donald had brought the egg case from his backyard and was excited when Mrs. Beecher agreed to make it their class project. He thought having an insect as a class pet might finally give him something to talk about with the other kids. But after two months of staring at a lifeless brown ball, Donald began to lose hope.
During science class one day, Mrs. Beecher announced they would start by writing in their journals. As Donald opened his journal, a left over particle from his lunch rolled across the page. When he went to brush it off, he realized it wasn’t a particle at all —it was a tiny praying mantis, barely the size of a grain of rice! Donald bounced out of his seat, crying out that the eggs were hatching.
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the classroom as more baby mantises started appearing everywhere. Kids were jumping out of their seats, screaming and waving their arms. Mrs. Beecher quickly took charge, asking why the lid of the container was off. Richie, who was supposed to check on the container that day, had forgotten to put the lid back on.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Donald took charge of the situation, directing Richie to get paintbrushes and white paper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the successful rescue, Mrs. Beecher asked the class to write about this special experience.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Donald took charge of the situation, directing Richie to get paintbrushes and white paper. Donald took the brush and carefully drove the baby mantises onto the white paper. They were so small that he could injure their legs or body parts. The baby mantises were so small that some of the students brought a magnifying glass to help. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the baby mantises finally returned safely to the box.
After the successful rescue, Mrs. Beecher asked the class to write about this special experience. Richie no longer laughed at Donald, and no longer called him “Donnie the Dung Beetle”, and deeply admired Donald’s calmly handling the unexpected things. Donald’s profound knowledge left a deep impression on everyone. From this incident, everyone realized the importance of patience, calmness, carefulness and being knowledgeable.
