As we drove along the country road, a herd of deer emerged as if by magic, surrounding us from all sides. I shouted at my husband to slow down and avoid hitting them. We were coming to a stop when the car doors flew open and we sprang out of the car. A deer lay injured by the roadside, with its eyes wide open. While some deer scattered, a few remained at a safe distance, observing the scene. “I have to call the police,” my husband said.
As we waited for help, a nearby resident came out of his house, angrily shouting instructions. I told him that we had already contacted the police. He stood at his doorway, arms crossed, watching us. I know he wanted to make sure we didn’t leave the scene.
I suggested calling a 24-hour veterinarian clinic, but before doing so, I noticed a slight movement in the deer’s back leg. We watched as she struggled to rise. After several minutes, she managed to stand. She turned her head to look at us, and then leapt gracefully toward the forest.
I raced after her until she disappeared into the forest. Tears streamed down my face, a mix of joy that she could run again and fear for her survival. I walked back to the car just as the police arrived. Our “security guard” returned to his house, satisfied that his role was complete.
After listening to our account, the police praised us for remaining at the scene. They told us that deer are resilient creatures and that she would survive.
The following day, we revisited the scene. The area showed no signs of blood. I discovered a piece of our car’s plastic bumper with the deer’s fur attached to it. I picked it up and took it home.
Whenever I see a deer walking through the forest along our country road, I wonder if it was our deer from that summer evening.
4. What did the author and her husband do upon discovering an injured deer by the roadside
A. They drove away the other deer. B. They slowed down to avoid hurting it.
C. Her husband contacted the police. D. She tried to help the deer stand up.
5. What do we know about the resident
A. He kept a close watch on the couple. B. He helped to call a local veterinarian.
C He cared about the security of the couple. D. He gave tips on how to handle the deer.
6. How did the author feel when the injured deer stood up and ran into the forest
A. Sad and disappointed. B. Surprised and confused.
C. Happy but a little worried. D. Relieved but a little frustrated.
7. What did the police do about the incident
A. They fined the couple. B. They comforted the couple.
C. They tried to find the injured deer. D. They investigated the scene the next day.
C
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set
harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the article
A. By describing a scientific research process.
B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure.
D. By presenting a common misconception.
9. What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results.
D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
10. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science
A. They are essential for scientific progress.
B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods.
D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
11. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.
D
Fooled by Randomness is a famous book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand.
Now in a striking new hardcover edition, Fooled by Randomness is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. Nassim Nicholas Taleb — seasoned trader, renowned risk expert, knowledgeable scholar, and New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan — has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill.
This book is about luck — or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Set against the backdrop of the most notable forum in which luck is mistaken for skill — the world of trading — Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives.
The book is populated with a number of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their own way, the significance of chance: the baseball legend Yogi Berra; the philosopher of knowledge Karl Popper; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek voyager Odysseus. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life but falls victim to his own irrational foolishness.
However, the most recognizable character of all remains unnamed — the lucky fool who happens to be in the right place at the right time — he embodies the “survival of the least fit.” Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their mentor’s (导师) insights and methods. But no one can copy what is obtained by chance.
Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan (冒充内行的人) from the genuine innovator Must we always try to uncover nonexistent messages in random events It may be impossible to guard ourselves against the unpredictability of the goddess Fortuna, but after reading Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared.
12. What is Fooled by Randomness mainly about
A. The success of modern traders.
B. The importance of skill in trading.
C. The role of luck in life and business.
D. The impact of human errors on decision-making.
13. What’s the purpose of mentioning the characters in paragraph 4
A. To highlight the significance of their achievements.
B. To emphasize their success in the trading world.
C. To illustrate how foolishness always leads to failure.
D. To show examples of those who understood randomness.
14 What does “lucky fool” in paragraph 5 really refer to
A. A trader known for their skill and achievements.
B. A scholar famous for their insights and methods.
C. Someone who owes their success to skill, ignoring luck.
D. A person who foolishly undervalues hard work and devotion.
15. According to the passage, what mistake do people often make
A. They overestimate their personal abilities.
B. They fail to see how chance affects their success.
C. They depend heavily on guidance from mentors.
D. They overlook significant events in daily life.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Often when my family travels to a natural place like a national park I say to my husband, “While we’re there, I want to make sure we climb a thing.” By setting this vague agenda, I mean I want to get out into nature and experience any “thing,” usually through a hike. ___16___
Emotional Well-Being
We can’t have physical health without mental health, and hiking delivers on both. Emotionally, a hike challenges us to persevere and follow a path wherever it may lead. ___17___ And of course, being in natural spaces inspires us to feel awe, the sense that there are forces larger than us at work in the world.
Heart Health
Heart disease and high blood pressure are killers in this country, but hiking is a way to build cardiovascular (心血管的) health. A simple walk increases the rate of our breathing, which benefits our hearts and lungs. ___18___
Strength and Balance
___19___ But even a stroll down a gentle wooded path requires us to pay attention to where our feet are landing. To keep our balance when climbing past roots, stones and dips in the landscape, we need core and leg strength. It literally contributes to our overall health in ways ranging from preventing back pain to keeping weight off.
Stronger Relationships
The safest way to hike is with a friend or companion, in case one of you stumbles or needs a hand. ___20___ The National Park Service puts it this way: “Because hiking ranges in difficulty from an extremely challenging climb to a casual way of spending time outside, it’s a great way to strengthen the friendships or bonds you have with your companions.” When the outdoors is the safest place to gather with loved ones, why not combine your social connections with physical activity and hit the trail together
A. How can you hike in a healthy way
B. In addition to being fun and exciting, hiking is healthy.
C. Hiking is best enjoyed in solitude for peaceful reflection
D. Most of us don’t hike on unsafe edges or plunging cliffs.
E. It engages our brains in map-reading and trail-following.
F. But beyond basic safety, hiking is a way to build relational health.
G. Hiking on a trail that has some ups and downs increases this effect.

But before they could allow the mother to ____28____ her son, the nurses had to check Thompson’s vital signs. “When I told him Mom couldn’t be there, he ____29____ if I’d hug him and I said, ‘Sure,’” Hager said.

The first week of my summer vacation was exciting, and my sense of freedom was so intense that it felt like I had to pack everything into that single week. The next week was a little calmer. But by the third week my two best friends had left for summer camp and my activities wound down into boredom. Getting up later each morning, I was spending more and more time with my cell phone and in front of the TV. That is when Mom reacted, declaring my phone and the TV off limits between 6:00 in the morning and 6:00 at night. It was shocking just to hear her say it.
In that first hour I felt I’d lost my senses of sight and hearing. The silence was numbing. I circled the house, going from room to room looking for something to do, asking myself what I can do When I encountered Mom in the kitchen, I asked her, too, “What can I do ”
“That’s up to you,” she said without looking in my direction. Through the day I posed my question to her several more times, getting much the same result. Then late in the afternoon, while she was working at her computer. I dared to ask again. Instantly she swung around to look at me, and I could see that my question had a definite effect on her expression. She looked as though she had been shocked. Her jaws clenched, like she was holding her words between her teeth as they struggled to get out. She looked me straight in the eye, then smiled and said, “Well, are you up for a challenge ” “Sure what ” “Your challenge is to follow the same ant for ten minutes,” “What is so tough about that ” She smiled again.” You might be surprised.” Sometime later Mom stood beside me, timer in hand. “I’ll set the timer for ten minutes when you find your winning ant.”
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Some of the ants I saw seemed to be eating something.

I heard mom’s timer ring and then “You win, sweetie”, she said.

【答案】Dear Lina,
I’m excited to share with you the “Wisdom in Daily Life” creative exhibition held by our school’s environmental club last week. Students showcased innovative ideas for a greener lifestyle.
I made a solar-powered desk lamp using recycled materials. It’s not only eco-friendly but also energy-efficient. I’m proud of my creation! Many of my classmates also presented amazing projects, and it was great to see everyone’s creativity.
The event inspired me to think creatively about sustainability. It was a fantastic learning experience. Hope you can join us next time!
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】
Some of the ants I saw seemed to be eating something. I needed an active one, moving swiftly and purposefully. After observing for a while, I finally spotted an ant carrying a crumb larger than itself. “That’s my winning ant!” I whispered. I focused intently, following its journey through grass and over stones. I marveled at its determination and strength, which seemed almost human. Time passed unexpectedly fast as I shadowed its every move, amazed by its persistence.
I heard mom’s timer ring and then “You win, sweetie,” she said. Mom’s words snapped me back to reality. I beamed with pride, not for winning a challenge, but for discovering the small wonders of nature that I had ignored before. Suddenly, I was inspired to explore more — maybe try drawing or writing about these little creatures. The rest of the summer vacation didn’t feel boring anymore, and I even learned to appreciate time away from screens. That day marked the start of something new.

As we drove along the country road, a herd of deer emerged as if by magic, surrounding us from all sides. I shouted at my husband to slow down and avoid hitting them. We were coming to a stop when the car doors flew open and we sprang out of the car. A deer lay injured by the roadside, with its eyes wide open. While some deer scattered, a few remained at a safe distance, observing the scene. “I have to call the police,” my husband said.
As we waited for help, a nearby resident came out of his house, angrily shouting instructions. I told him that we had already contacted the police. He stood at his doorway, arms crossed, watching us. I know he wanted to make sure we didn’t leave the scene.
I suggested calling a 24-hour veterinarian clinic, but before doing so, I noticed a slight movement in the deer’s back leg. We watched as she struggled to rise. After several minutes, she managed to stand. She turned her head to look at us, and then leapt gracefully toward the forest.
I raced after her until she disappeared into the forest. Tears streamed down my face, a mix of joy that she could run again and fear for her survival. I walked back to the car just as the police arrived. Our “security guard” returned to his house, satisfied that his role was complete.
After listening to our account, the police praised us for remaining at the scene. They told us that deer are resilient creatures and that she would survive.
The following day, we revisited the scene. The area showed no signs of blood. I discovered a piece of our car’s plastic bumper with the deer’s fur attached to it. I picked it up and took it home.
Whenever I see a deer walking through the forest along our country road, I wonder if it was our deer from that summer evening.
4. What did the author and her husband do upon discovering an injured deer by the roadside
A. They drove away the other deer. B. They slowed down to avoid hurting it.

5. What do we know about the resident
A. He kept a close watch on the couple. B. He helped to call a local veterinarian.
C He cared about the security of the couple. D. He gave tips on how to handle the deer.

7. What did the police do about the incident
A. They fined the couple. B. They comforted the couple.
C. They tried to find the injured deer. D. They investigated the scene the next day.
C
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set
harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the article
A. By describing a scientific research process.
B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure.
D. By presenting a common misconception.
9. What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results.
D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
10. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science
A. They are essential for scientific progress.
B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods.
D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
11. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.
D
Fooled by Randomness is a famous book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand.
Now in a striking new hardcover edition, Fooled by Randomness is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. Nassim Nicholas Taleb — seasoned trader, renowned risk expert, knowledgeable scholar, and New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan — has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill.
This book is about luck — or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Set against the backdrop of the most notable forum in which luck is mistaken for skill — the world of trading — Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives.
The book is populated with a number of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their own way, the significance of chance: the baseball legend Yogi Berra; the philosopher of knowledge Karl Popper; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek voyager Odysseus. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life but falls victim to his own irrational foolishness.
However, the most recognizable character of all remains unnamed — the lucky fool who happens to be in the right place at the right time — he embodies the “survival of the least fit.” Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their mentor’s (导师) insights and methods. But no one can copy what is obtained by chance.
Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan (冒充内行的人) from the genuine innovator Must we always try to uncover nonexistent messages in random events It may be impossible to guard ourselves against the unpredictability of the goddess Fortuna, but after reading Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared.
12. What is Fooled by Randomness mainly about
A. The success of modern traders.
B. The importance of skill in trading.
C. The role of luck in life and business.
D. The impact of human errors on decision-making.
13. What’s the purpose of mentioning the characters in paragraph 4
A. To highlight the significance of their achievements.
B. To emphasize their success in the trading world.
C. To illustrate how foolishness always leads to failure.
D. To show examples of those who understood randomness.
14 What does “lucky fool” in paragraph 5 really refer to
A. A trader known for their skill and achievements.
B. A scholar famous for their insights and methods.
C. Someone who owes their success to skill, ignoring luck.
D. A person who foolishly undervalues hard work and devotion.
15. According to the passage, what mistake do people often make
A. They overestimate their personal abilities.
B. They fail to see how chance affects their success.
C. They depend heavily on guidance from mentors.
D. They overlook significant events in daily life.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Often when my family travels to a natural place like a national park I say to my husband, “While we’re there, I want to make sure we climb a thing.” By setting this vague agenda, I mean I want to get out into nature and experience any “thing,” usually through a hike. ___16___
Emotional Well-Being
We can’t have physical health without mental health, and hiking delivers on both. Emotionally, a hike challenges us to persevere and follow a path wherever it may lead. ___17___ And of course, being in natural spaces inspires us to feel awe, the sense that there are forces larger than us at work in the world.
Heart Health
Heart disease and high blood pressure are killers in this country, but hiking is a way to build cardiovascular (心血管的) health. A simple walk increases the rate of our breathing, which benefits our hearts and lungs. ___18___
Strength and Balance
___19___ But even a stroll down a gentle wooded path requires us to pay attention to where our feet are landing. To keep our balance when climbing past roots, stones and dips in the landscape, we need core and leg strength. It literally contributes to our overall health in ways ranging from preventing back pain to keeping weight off.
Stronger Relationships
The safest way to hike is with a friend or companion, in case one of you stumbles or needs a hand. ___20___ The National Park Service puts it this way: “Because hiking ranges in difficulty from an extremely challenging climb to a casual way of spending time outside, it’s a great way to strengthen the friendships or bonds you have with your companions.” When the outdoors is the safest place to gather with loved ones, why not combine your social connections with physical activity and hit the trail together
A. How can you hike in a healthy way
B. In addition to being fun and exciting, hiking is healthy.
C. Hiking is best enjoyed in solitude for peaceful reflection
D. Most of us don’t hike on unsafe edges or plunging cliffs.
E. It engages our brains in map-reading and trail-following.
F. But beyond basic safety, hiking is a way to build relational health.
G. Hiking on a trail that has some ups and downs increases this effect.

The first week of my summer vacation was exciting, and my sense of freedom was so intense that it felt like I had to pack everything into that single week. The next week was a little calmer. But by the third week my two best friends had left for summer camp and my activities wound down into boredom. Getting up later each morning, I was spending more and more time with my cell phone and in front of the TV. That is when Mom reacted, declaring my phone and the TV off limits between 6:00 in the morning and 6:00 at night. It was shocking just to hear her say it.
In that first hour I felt I’d lost my senses of sight and hearing. The silence was numbing. I circled the house, going from room to room looking for something to do, asking myself what I can do When I encountered Mom in the kitchen, I asked her, too, “What can I do ”
“That’s up to you,” she said without looking in my direction. Through the day I posed my question to her several more times, getting much the same result. Then late in the afternoon, while she was working at her computer. I dared to ask again. Instantly she swung around to look at me, and I could see that my question had a definite effect on her expression. She looked as though she had been shocked. Her jaws clenched, like she was holding her words between her teeth as they struggled to get out. She looked me straight in the eye, then smiled and said, “Well, are you up for a challenge ” “Sure what ” “Your challenge is to follow the same ant for ten minutes,” “What is so tough about that ” She smiled again.” You might be surprised.” Sometime later Mom stood beside me, timer in hand. “I’ll set the timer for ten minutes when you find your winning ant.”

【答案】
Some of the ants I saw seemed to be eating something. I needed an active one, moving swiftly and purposefully. After observing for a while, I finally spotted an ant carrying a crumb larger than itself. “That’s my winning ant!” I whispered. I focused intently, following its journey through grass and over stones. I marveled at its determination and strength, which seemed almost human. Time passed unexpectedly fast as I shadowed its every move, amazed by its persistence.
I heard mom’s timer ring and then “You win, sweetie,” she said. Mom’s words snapped me back to reality. I beamed with pride, not for winning a challenge, but for discovering the small wonders of nature that I had ignored before. Suddenly, I was inspired to explore more — maybe try drawing or writing about these little creatures. The rest of the summer vacation didn’t feel boring anymore, and I even learned to appreciate time away from screens. That day marked the start of something new.
