Amazing Scottish Castles to Stay in
From the Borders to the Highlands, these accommodating castles offer bags of history, luxury and escapism.
Kinnaird Castle, Angus
The 15th-century Kinnaird has three rented apartments, of which the Macduff Tower is the most traditional, with views out across its well-stocked deer park. There’s no extra charge for guests with dogs and they’ll love running in the grounds. Kinnaird is only open to the public for one day each year, so you’ll have the place to yourself; and if you enjoy wild swimming, head for the lake.
Macduff Tower, sleeps four, 535 for two nights; kinnairdcastle.co.uk
Leslie Castle, Insch, Aberdeenshire
Five years ago, Nicola Teal and John Andrea traded a home in London for a remote, 12th-century, six-bedroom castle. Today, Nicola serves the drinks and gives you the tour, while John cooks your haggis-stuffed Balmoral chicken or vegetable moussaka, eaten in the baronial hall after drinks in the cobbled courtyard garden.
Rooms 240 per night with breakfast; dinner 35 a head; leslie
Knock Old Castle, Largs, North Ayrshire
Renovated in 2013, this 14th-century castle is truly out of the pages of a fairytale. There’s an outdoor dining area and a balcony from which to gaze out to sea. Best of all is a turret-top, the perfect place for a drink as the sun goes down. And hard-pressed parents will love the castle’s best secret: a rooftop walkway leads to a tiny sauna, the ideal place for some “me” time, just a few steps from the kids.
Sleeps eight; seven nights 2,729;
1．What can you do in Kinnaird Castle
A．Eat in the cobbled garden. B．Stop the public from a visit.
C．Play with water in the lake. D．Walk a dog with extra charge.
2．How much does a couple pay at most for two nights with dinner at Leslie Castle
A． 480. B． 310. C． 550. D． 620.
3．Which section of the newspaper is the text probably taken from
A．History. B．Travel. C．Architecture. D．Health.
My family and I had set out on a day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji, a town known for being one of the wettest places on Earth. However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths (独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.
That is how I found myself standing in the shadow of the huge monoliths of Nartiang, which is home to the thickest and largest collection in the region. Curious to uncover their history, I approached Maryo Symblai, a village elder I met later that day, who told me the story of the monoliths that has been orally passed down over generations. She said, “Back in the day, Nartiang didn’t have a bazaar (集市) and the nearest one was at Raliang. On one such bazaar, a giant named Mar Phalyngki was caught in heavy rain on his way back. He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella ’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.”
“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory”, said Dr Reeju Ray, a local writer.
Today, even though the traditional customs and more confirmed historical accounts offer some insight into the site, the mystery(奥秘)of the stone giants lasts.
4．Why did the author and his family come to visit the monoliths of Nartiang
A．It was in their original trip plan.
B．They had to choose it as an alternative.
C．It was the only remaining place to visit.
D．An elder village r gave them the suggestion.
5．Which does the underlined word “Emboldened” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Threatened. B．Moved. C．Stimulated. D．Frightened.
6．Why are Dr. Reeju Ray’s words mentioned
A．To info rm what the monoliths served as.
B．To illustrate how the mysterious story came into being.
C．To introduce the feature of Nartiang monoliths.
D．To deny the overlap of ancient story and memory.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．A Trip to the Monoliths. B．The Mystery of Shillong.
C．The Formation of the Monoliths. D．A Disappointing Travel Experience.
Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
8．What is the writer mainly concerned about
A．The disappearance of languages. B．The challenge of climate change.
C．The reaction to the language crisis. D．The trend of the speedy globalization.
9．Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To explain the main reason for language density.
B．To show the common features of endangered languages.
C．To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D．To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
10．What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do
A．Support migrants to access local education.
B．Discourage people from massive migration.
C．Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D．Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B．Lost for Words: Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe
C．Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D．Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis
An ancient Greek belief about the most pleasing combinations of musical notes — often attributed to philosopher Pythagoras — doesn’t actually seem to reflect the way people worldwide appreciate harmony. Instead, Pythagoras’s mathematical arguments may merely have been taken as a fact and used to maintain the superiority of Western culture.
According to legend, Pythagoras found that the ringing sounds of two blacksmith’s hammers were most pleasant when the ratio (比率) between the size of their tools involved two integers, or whole numbers, such as 3:2. The philosopher’s belief that listeners like music played in perfect mathematical ratios better was so influential that it has shaped how western musicians play instruments.
But when Harrison at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues surveyed 4,272 people in the UK and South Korea about their view of music, their findings flew in the face of this ancient idea. In one experiment, participants were played musical chords (和弦) and asked to rate how pleasant they seemed. Listeners showed a slight preference for sounds with an imperfect ratio.
Another experiment discovered little difference in appeal between the sounds made by instruments from all over the world, including the bonang, an Indonesian instrument, which produces harmonies that can’t be produced on a Western piano. Although instruments like the bonang have traditionally been referred to as inharmonic in Western music culture, study participants appreciated the sounds of the instrument and others like it. “If you use non-Western instruments, you start preferring different harmonies. It’s fascinating that music can be so universal yet so diverse at the same time.” says Harrison.
Harrison says the findings tell us that Pythagoras was wrong about the harmony of music and that music theory has been too focused on the belief that Western views are held worldwide. “What our studies are showing is that, actually, this is not an sacred law. It’s something that depends very much on the way in which you’re playing music.” he says.
12．Which statement will Pythagoras probably agree with
A．Western culture is superior to other cultures.
B．Music should be played using irregular ratios.
C．The sound of hammers depends on their size.
D．Perfect mathematical ratios are preferred in music.
13．Which of the following best explains “flew in the face of” underlined in Paragraph 3
A．Challenged. B．Defended. C．Matched. D．Improved.
14．What can we infer from the experiments
A．Participants mostly preferred the same chords.
B．Listeners slightly favored sounds with imperfect ratios.
C．Different instruments can produce the same harmony.
D．Non-Western instruments are not appreciated globally.
15．According to Harrison, what does harmony depend on
A．Western cultural influences. B．Pythagorean beliefs.
C．The method of performing music. D．Perfect mathematical ratios.
Don’t Let Personality Types Define You
Personality tests, especially the Myers-Briggs type indicator(MBT), are popular tools that many people use to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types based on four key categories. Although these tests can provide useful insights, it’s important not to let them define or limit you.
16 . But people are complex. Our personalities can change over time, depending on experiences and growth. What the MBTI test reveals is just a snapshot of one’s preferences, not a complete definition of who you are. For example, if the test labels you as an “introvert” (性格内向的人), you may feel tempted to avoid social communication because you think it’s not in your nature to be outgoing. But you might find that your ability to enjoy social events increases over time. The key is not to accept the label as an unchangeable fact. 17
Similarly, if you are categorized as a “thinking” type, it might lead you to believe that you are always rational 18 Emotional response is also an essential part of human nature, and embracing them can enhance your decision-making process and relationships.
Additionally, many people get caught up in the idea that their “type” limits their careers or personal choices. They might think, for instance, that an “introvert” would not be a good leader. 19 . Many introverts achieve success through careful listening and thoughtful decision-making. Don’t let de MBTI label stop you from pursuing opportunities that feel right for you.
Finally, one of the most important lessons we can learn from the MBTI is that we are not defined by one test or label. 20 . By focusing on our strengths and embracing the full complexity of our personalities, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives. We are all more than the labels we receive.
A．The reality is quite different.
B．The test results should be seen as a guide, not a limitation.
C．The MBTI system provides a simple way to categorize individuals based on their preferences.
D．But there are countless examples of introverts excelling in these types of roles.
E．You should see it as a starting point for self-reflection and growth.
F．However, it’s essential to understand that both parts of the personality are valuable.
G．The MBTI system can sometimes prevent individuals from realizing their full potential.

Few people have the chance to savor the magnificent sight of wildlife on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but Bao Yongqing, a Tibetan amateur photographer, 36 (brave) freezing temperatures for days and sometimes weeks to share the experience with the world.
One success of his work, which beat out over 48,000 37 (entry) from 100 countries, made him the first Chinese photographer 38 (receive) the title of wildlife photographer of the year in 2019. The picture, named “The Moment”, captured the movement of a fox 39 (bare) its teeth and the marmot (土拨鼠) looking panicked. But he had tracked the animals for days and shot thousands of photos 40 the fox finally gripped the marmot by the neck. Natural History Museum Director Michael Dixon comments, “The picture captures nature’ s battle — the survival of the 41 (fit) habitats are facing increasing climate pressures, seeing these fleeting yet precious moments reminds us of 42 we need to protect.”
According to Bao, photographing wildlife is more about raising awareness 43 winning prizes. “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Bao realized the true meaning of this idiom when his works were exhibited abroad and the Chinese government and people 44 (applaud) for their conservation efforts. He also believes that 45 when more people know about animals can nature be better protected, for which he will continue to show the beautiful wildlife to the world with his camera.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
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。
Majestic Road Hill in the suburb of our city is so steep (陡峭的) in some places that if you stopped pedaling (踩踏板), your bike would stop immediately and start to roll backwards. The uphill path is so long that it is difficult for one to make it to the top.
The thirty of us came from the same class. We had a cross-country bicycle tour that day. Once we got to its top, there were two flat places: Dairy Queen for burgers and Becker’s for homemade donuts (a small cake). Usually we had little money to spare, but for this challenging event, we all had saved up a little. The deal was simple: The first one that got to the top would get his meal paid for by the rest of us.
Ed and I had gone ahead of the whole team. We positioned ourselves at an advantageous point to observe the other riders who fell behind to struggle on the path. We reached the shortest, but steepest part of the hill, called “Heartbreak Ridge”. It got the name because many strong young people, who want to make it without their feet leaving their pedal to that point, only fail with a broken heart as they gather up bikes.
As sixteen-year-old teenagers, Ed and I were the best at climbing hills on our bikes. I had strong legs good at climbing and Ed was so strong that he could make a football fifty yards away with a kick. The hill got the steepest for us to get to the top. Our upper body had to hang over the handle bars to keep us from falling backwards. Ed was in front of me and he eventually made it to the top. He wiped sweat from his forehead and then he looked at me, cheering. “Kev, come on!” I tried. When I was nine feet away from Ed, something happened. My legs began to cramp (抽筋). I, standing on my bike, couldn’t pedal, or move forwards. I was about to lose my balance.
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。
Just at the critical moment, Ed jumped down from the top and gave me a helping hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ed and I cheered for them while they were struggling to ride towards the top.

参考答案
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B
【分析】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了苏格兰城堡的住宿信息，包括城堡的特色、住宿价格等内容
【解析】1．细节理解题。根据Kinnaird Castle, Angus部分的“Kinnaird is only open to the public for one day each year, so you’ll have the place to yourself; and if you enjoy wild swimming, head for the lake. (金纳德每年只对公众开放一天，所以你可以独享这个地方；如果你喜欢野外游泳，那就去湖边吧。)”可知，在金纳德城堡（Kinnaird Castle），如果你喜欢野泳，可以去湖里玩水，也就是可以在湖里戏水（Play with water in the lake）。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据Leslie Castle, Insch, Aberdeenshire部分的“Rooms 240 per night with breakfast; dinner 35 a head(客房每晚240英镑（含早餐）；晚餐每人35英镑；)”可知，房间每晚240英镑含早餐，晚餐每人35英镑。一对夫妇住两晚，房间费用是240×2=480英镑，两晚晚餐费用是35×2×2=140英镑，所以最多要支付480+140=620英镑。故选D项。
3．推理判断题。通读文章可知，文章主要介绍了苏格兰的几座可以居住的城堡，包括城堡的相关信息（如历史、设施等）以及住宿价格等，这些内容与旅行（Travel）相关，所以这篇文章可能来自报纸的旅行版块。故选B项。
【答案】4．B 5．C 6．B 7．A
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者探索Nartiang巨石的故事。
【解析】4．细节理解题。由文章第一段“My family and I had set out on a day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji, a town known for being one of the wettest places on Earth. However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). (我和家人从Shillong出发前往Cherrapunji，这是一个以地球上最潮湿的地方之一而闻名的小镇。然而，在我们被困在交通中四个多小时后，我的一个姐姐提议回到城市，作为最后一次尝试，以挽救当天剩下的一切。一个快速的在线搜索显示，Shillong周围还有其他必去景点。大多数人都很熟悉，但有一个引起了我们的注意——Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。)”可知，作者因为交通被困，所以改变原来旅游路线，不得已选择参观Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。故选B项。
5．词句猜测题。由文章第二段“He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella ’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.(他要求向拉良首领的小女儿借把伞，但她想试试他传奇般的力量你为什么不去集市上搬那块巨石当伞用呢？”她轻蔑地说。在她的挑战的 下，他就这么做了，但在到达Nartiang之前，雨停了，他把它放在了森林里。)”可推测，这里指在女孩的话语的“刺激”下，巨人搬了石头。所以猜测Emboldened表“被刺激”。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。由文章第三段“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory(在Nartiang巨石的案例中，古代故事和记忆有一定的重叠。当地人对这个地方是如何形成的描述是基于古代故事或民俗。但他们也记得它，因为它是他们祖先每周的集市、纪念碑和政治集会的场所。口述历史就是这样运作的。它将事实和虚构混合到集体记忆中)”可知，文中提到了Dr. Reeju Ray的话是为了说明这个神秘的故事是如何产生的。故选B项。
7．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.(一个快速的在线搜索显示，Shillong周围还有其他必去景点。大多数人都很熟悉，但有一个引起了我们的注意——Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。照片显示，高高的石头以一种奇怪的形式堆积在一起，尽管缺乏细节，但仍呼吁我们进一步探索。)”以及下文可知，文章主要讲作者探索Nartiang巨石的故事，所以A项A Trip to the Monoliths(巨石之旅)作为文章标题，与本文主题相符合。故选A项。
【答案】8．A 9．D 10．D 11．B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施。
【解析】8．细节理解题。根据第一段“This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.(气候危机加剧了这种“灾难性”损失；根据语言学家的说法。保守估计，如果不采取任何措施，到本世纪末，目前使用的7000种语言中有一半将灭绝)”以及第二段“Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct.(说少数民族语言的人经历了漫长的迫害历史，结果到20世纪20年代，澳大利亚、美国、南非和阿根廷的土著语言中有一半已经灭绝)”可知，作者主要关心的是语言的消失。故选A。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段“Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.(瓦努阿图是一个南太平洋岛国，面积12189平方公里，拥有110种语言，是地球上语言密度最高的国家。她说，它也是海平面上升风险最大的国家之一。“许多小语言社区位于岛屿和海岸线上，容易受到飓风和海平面上升的影响。”另一些人生活在气温上升威胁到传统农业和渔业的土地上，导致迁徙)”可推知，第3段提到瓦努阿图是为了说明少数民族语言社区的情况。故选D。
10．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.(联合国大会主席Csaba Korosi表示，促进和保护土著社区的语言“不仅对他们很重要，对全人类也很重要”。他敦促各国允许用土著语言进行教育)”可知，土著语言国际十年的目标是保护土著社区的语言。故选D。
11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.(每40天就有一种语言消亡。气候危机加剧了这种“灾难性”损失；根据语言学家的说法。保守估计，如果不采取任何措施，到本世纪末，目前使用的7000种语言中有一半将灭绝)”结合文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施。可知，B选项“语言的丧失：海平面上升带来灾难的威胁”最符合文章标题。故选B。
【答案】12．D 13．A 14．B 15．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了毕达哥拉斯音乐理论受到挑战的研究发现。
【解析】12．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“The philosopher’s belief that listeners like music played in perfect mathematical ratios better was so influential that it has shaped how western musicians play instruments. (这位哲学家认为，听众更喜欢完美的数学比例演奏的音乐，这一观点影响深远，甚至影响了西方音乐家演奏乐器的方式)”可知，Pythagoras可能会同意“音乐中更喜欢完美的数学比例”这一说法。故选D。
13．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But when Harrison at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues surveyed 4,272 people in the UK and South Korea about their view of music, their findings (但是，当剑桥大学的哈里森和他的同事调查了英国和韩国的4272人对音乐的看法时，他们的发现)”和“In one experiment, participants were played musical chords (和弦) and asked to rate how pleasant they seemed. Listeners showed a slight preference for sounds with an imperfect ratio. (在一项实验中，参与者被演奏和弦，并被要求评价他们看起来有多愉快。听众对比例不完美的声音表现出轻微的偏好)”可知，但是当剑桥大学的哈里森和他的同事对英国和韩国的4272人进行了关于他们对音乐的看法的调查时，他们的发现与这一古老的观点相悖，这一古老的观点受到挑战。flew in the face of表示“挑战”。A. Challenged挑战；B. Defended辩护；C. Matched匹配；D. Improved改进。故选A。
14．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Listeners showed a slight preference for sounds with an imperfect ratio (听众对比例不完美的声音表现出轻微的偏好)”可知，从实验中我们可以推断出听众对比例不完美的声音有轻微的偏好。故选B。
15．细节理解题。根据最后一段中““What our studies are showing is that, actually, this is not an sacred law. It’s something that depends very much on the way in which you’re playing music.” he says. (他说：“我们的研究表明，实际上，这不是一条神圣的规律。这在很大程度上取决于你演奏音乐的方式。”)”可知，根据哈里森的说法，和谐取决于演奏音乐的方式。故选C。
【答案】16．C 17．E 18．F 19．D 20．B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章提醒勿让人格类型定义自己，指出MBTI测试有局限，应正确看待其结果以更好生活。
【解析】16．由上文“Personality tests, especially the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI), are popular tools that many people use to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types based on four key categories.(人格测试，尤其是迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标（MBTI），是许多人用来更好地了解自己和与他人关系的流行工具。MBTI根据四个关键类别将人们分为16种不同的人格类型。)”可知，这里介绍了 MBTI 这种人格测试会将人按四个关键类别分为 16 种不同人格类型，空格处需要对其分类情况进一步说明来衔接后文，且后文“But people are complex.(但人是复杂的。)”进行转折，而C项“The MBTI system provides a simple way to categorize individuals based on their preferences.(MBTI系统提供了一种根据个人偏好对其进行分类的简单方法。)”符合语境，与前文衔接且能引出后文关于其局限性的阐述。故选C项。
17．由上文“The key is not to accept the label as an unchangeable fact.(关键是不要接受标签是不可改变的事实。)”可知， 这里强调不要把标签当作不可改变的事实，空格处要进一步说明对待测试结果应有的正确做法，而E项“You should see it as a starting point for self-reflection and growth.(你应该把它看作是自我反思和成长的起点。)”符合此处语境，对前文进行了合理的延伸，其中it指代上文the label ，有承上作用。故选E项。
18．由上文“Similarly, if you are categorized as a ‘thinking’ type, it might lead you to believe that you are always rational.(同样地，如果你被归类为‘思考’型，这可能会让你认为自己总是理性的。)”可知，这里提及被归为某类型后的片面认知，空格后“Emotional response is also an essential part of human nature, and embracing them can enhance your decision-making process and relationships.(情感反应也是人性的重要组成部分，接纳它们可以增强你的决策过程和人际关系。)” 强调情感的重要性，而F 项“However, it’s essential to understand that both parts of the personality are valuable.(然而，重要的是要明白人格的这两部分都是有价值的。)”起到承上启下作用，指出人格两部分都有价值，使前后衔接自然。故选F项。
19．由上文“They might think, for instance, that an ‘introvert’ would not be a good leader.(例如，他们可能认为内向的人不会成为好的领导者。)”可知，这里举例说明人们对内向者在职场上的错误认知，空格后“Many introverts achieve success through careful listening and thoughtful decision-making.(许多内向者通过认真倾听和深思熟虑的决策取得了成功。)” 表明内向者也能成功，而D项“But there are countless examples of introverts excelling in these types of roles.(但有无数内向者在这些角色中表现出色的例子。)” 能很好地衔接前后，用例子反驳前文观点。故选D项。
20．由上文“Finally, one of the most important lessons we can learn from the MBTI is that we are not defined by one test or label. (最后，我们可以从MBTI中学到的最重要的教训之一是，我们不是由一个测试或标签来定义的。)”可知，这里说明不能被测试或标签定义，空格处要进一步说明对测试结果的正确看法，而B项“The test results should be seen as a guide, not a limitation.(测试结果应该被看作是一种指导，而不是一种限制。)”指出应把测试结果当作指导而非限制，与后文“By focusing on our strengths and embracing the full complexity of our personalities, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives.(通过关注我们的优势并接纳我们个性的全部复杂性，我们可以过上更丰富、更充实的生活。)” 相呼应，符合文意。故选B项。

Amazing Scottish Castles to Stay in
From the Borders to the Highlands, these accommodating castles offer bags of history, luxury and escapism.
Kinnaird Castle, Angus
The 15th-century Kinnaird has three rented apartments, of which the Macduff Tower is the most traditional, with views out across its well-stocked deer park. There’s no extra charge for guests with dogs and they’ll love running in the grounds. Kinnaird is only open to the public for one day each year, so you’ll have the place to yourself; and if you enjoy wild swimming, head for the lake.
Macduff Tower, sleeps four, 535 for two nights; kinnairdcastle.co.uk
Leslie Castle, Insch, Aberdeenshire
Five years ago, Nicola Teal and John Andrea traded a home in London for a remote, 12th-century, six-bedroom castle. Today, Nicola serves the drinks and gives you the tour, while John cooks your haggis-stuffed Balmoral chicken or vegetable moussaka, eaten in the baronial hall after drinks in the cobbled courtyard garden.
Rooms 240 per night with breakfast; dinner 35 a head; leslie
Knock Old Castle, Largs, North Ayrshire
Renovated in 2013, this 14th-century castle is truly out of the pages of a fairytale. There’s an outdoor dining area and a balcony from which to gaze out to sea. Best of all is a turret-top, the perfect place for a drink as the sun goes down. And hard-pressed parents will love the castle’s best secret: a rooftop walkway leads to a tiny sauna, the ideal place for some “me” time, just a few steps from the kids.
Sleeps eight; seven nights 2,729;
1．What can you do in Kinnaird Castle

My family and I had set out on a day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji, a town known for being one of the wettest places on Earth. However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths (独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.
That is how I found myself standing in the shadow of the huge monoliths of Nartiang, which is home to the thickest and largest collection in the region. Curious to uncover their history, I approached Maryo Symblai, a village elder I met later that day, who told me the story of the monoliths that has been orally passed down over generations. She said, “Back in the day, Nartiang didn’t have a bazaar (集市) and the nearest one was at Raliang. On one such bazaar, a giant named Mar Phalyngki was caught in heavy rain on his way back. He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella ’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.”
“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory”, said Dr Reeju Ray, a local writer.
Today, even though the traditional customs and more confirmed historical accounts offer some insight into the site, the mystery(奥秘)of the stone giants lasts.
4．Why did the author and his family come to visit the monoliths of Nartiang
A．It was in their original trip plan.
B．They had to choose it as an alternative.
C．It was the only remaining place to visit.
D．An elder village r gave them the suggestion.

6．Why are Dr. Reeju Ray’s words mentioned
A．To info rm what the monoliths served as.
B．To illustrate how the mysterious story came into being.
C．To introduce the feature of Nartiang monoliths.
D．To deny the overlap of ancient story and memory.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．A Trip to the Monoliths. B．The Mystery of Shillong.
C．The Formation of the Monoliths. D．A Disappointing Travel Experience.
Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
8．What is the writer mainly concerned about
A．The disappearance of languages. B．The challenge of climate change.
C．The reaction to the language crisis. D．The trend of the speedy globalization.
9．Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To explain the main reason for language density.
B．To show the common features of endangered languages.
C．To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D．To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
10．What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do
A．Support migrants to access local education.
B．Discourage people from massive migration.
C．Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D．Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B．Lost for Words: Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe
C．Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D．Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis
An ancient Greek belief about the most pleasing combinations of musical notes — often attributed to philosopher Pythagoras — doesn’t actually seem to reflect the way people worldwide appreciate harmony. Instead, Pythagoras’s mathematical arguments may merely have been taken as a fact and used to maintain the superiority of Western culture.
According to legend, Pythagoras found that the ringing sounds of two blacksmith’s hammers were most pleasant when the ratio (比率) between the size of their tools involved two integers, or whole numbers, such as 3:2. The philosopher’s belief that listeners like music played in perfect mathematical ratios better was so influential that it has shaped how western musicians play instruments.
But when Harrison at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues surveyed 4,272 people in the UK and South Korea about their view of music, their findings flew in the face of this ancient idea. In one experiment, participants were played musical chords (和弦) and asked to rate how pleasant they seemed. Listeners showed a slight preference for sounds with an imperfect ratio.
Another experiment discovered little difference in appeal between the sounds made by instruments from all over the world, including the bonang, an Indonesian instrument, which produces harmonies that can’t be produced on a Western piano. Although instruments like the bonang have traditionally been referred to as inharmonic in Western music culture, study participants appreciated the sounds of the instrument and others like it. “If you use non-Western instruments, you start preferring different harmonies. It’s fascinating that music can be so universal yet so diverse at the same time.” says Harrison.
Harrison says the findings tell us that Pythagoras was wrong about the harmony of music and that music theory has been too focused on the belief that Western views are held worldwide. “What our studies are showing is that, actually, this is not an sacred law. It’s something that depends very much on the way in which you’re playing music.” he says.
12．Which statement will Pythagoras probably agree with
A．Western culture is superior to other cultures.
B．Music should be played using irregular ratios.
C．The sound of hammers depends on their size.
D．Perfect mathematical ratios are preferred in music.
13．Which of the following best explains “flew in the face of” underlined in Paragraph 3
A．Challenged. B．Defended. C．Matched. D．Improved.
14．What can we infer from the experiments
A．Participants mostly preferred the same chords.
B．Listeners slightly favored sounds with imperfect ratios.
C．Different instruments can produce the same harmony.
D．Non-Western instruments are not appreciated globally.
15．According to Harrison, what does harmony depend on
A．Western cultural influences. B．Pythagorean beliefs.
C．The method of performing music. D．Perfect mathematical ratios.
Don’t Let Personality Types Define You
Personality tests, especially the Myers-Briggs type indicator(MBT), are popular tools that many people use to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types based on four key categories. Although these tests can provide useful insights, it’s important not to let them define or limit you.
16 . But people are complex. Our personalities can change over time, depending on experiences and growth. What the MBTI test reveals is just a snapshot of one’s preferences, not a complete definition of who you are. For example, if the test labels you as an “introvert” (性格内向的人), you may feel tempted to avoid social communication because you think it’s not in your nature to be outgoing. But you might find that your ability to enjoy social events increases over time. The key is not to accept the label as an unchangeable fact. 17
Similarly, if you are categorized as a “thinking” type, it might lead you to believe that you are always rational 18 Emotional response is also an essential part of human nature, and embracing them can enhance your decision-making process and relationships.
Additionally, many people get caught up in the idea that their “type” limits their careers or personal choices. They might think, for instance, that an “introvert” would not be a good leader. 19 . Many introverts achieve success through careful listening and thoughtful decision-making. Don’t let de MBTI label stop you from pursuing opportunities that feel right for you.
Finally, one of the most important lessons we can learn from the MBTI is that we are not defined by one test or label. 20 . By focusing on our strengths and embracing the full complexity of our personalities, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives. We are all more than the labels we receive.
A．The reality is quite different.
B．The test results should be seen as a guide, not a limitation.
C．The MBTI system provides a simple way to categorize individuals based on their preferences.
D．But there are countless examples of introverts excelling in these types of roles.
E．You should see it as a starting point for self-reflection and growth.
F．However, it’s essential to understand that both parts of the personality are valuable.
G．The MBTI system can sometimes prevent individuals from realizing their full potential.

Few people have the chance to savor the magnificent sight of wildlife on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but Bao Yongqing, a Tibetan amateur photographer, 36 (brave) freezing temperatures for days and sometimes weeks to share the experience with the world.
One success of his work, which beat out over 48,000 37 (entry) from 100 countries, made him the first Chinese photographer 38 (receive) the title of wildlife photographer of the year in 2019. The picture, named “The Moment”, captured the movement of a fox 39 (bare) its teeth and the marmot (土拨鼠) looking panicked. But he had tracked the animals for days and shot thousands of photos 40 the fox finally gripped the marmot by the neck. Natural History Museum Director Michael Dixon comments, “The picture captures nature’ s battle — the survival of the 41 (fit) habitats are facing increasing climate pressures, seeing these fleeting yet precious moments reminds us of 42 we need to protect.”
According to Bao, photographing wildlife is more about raising awareness 43 winning prizes. “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Bao realized the true meaning of this idiom when his works were exhibited abroad and the Chinese government and people 44 (applaud) for their conservation efforts. He also believes that 45 when more people know about animals can nature be better protected, for which he will continue to show the beautiful wildlife to the world with his camera.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
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。
Majestic Road Hill in the suburb of our city is so steep (陡峭的) in some places that if you stopped pedaling (踩踏板), your bike would stop immediately and start to roll backwards. The uphill path is so long that it is difficult for one to make it to the top.
The thirty of us came from the same class. We had a cross-country bicycle tour that day. Once we got to its top, there were two flat places: Dairy Queen for burgers and Becker’s for homemade donuts (a small cake). Usually we had little money to spare, but for this challenging event, we all had saved up a little. The deal was simple: The first one that got to the top would get his meal paid for by the rest of us.
Ed and I had gone ahead of the whole team. We positioned ourselves at an advantageous point to observe the other riders who fell behind to struggle on the path. We reached the shortest, but steepest part of the hill, called “Heartbreak Ridge”. It got the name because many strong young people, who want to make it without their feet leaving their pedal to that point, only fail with a broken heart as they gather up bikes.
As sixteen-year-old teenagers, Ed and I were the best at climbing hills on our bikes. I had strong legs good at climbing and Ed was so strong that he could make a football fifty yards away with a kick. The hill got the steepest for us to get to the top. Our upper body had to hang over the handle bars to keep us from falling backwards. Ed was in front of me and he eventually made it to the top. He wiped sweat from his forehead and then he looked at me, cheering. “Kev, come on!” I tried. When I was nine feet away from Ed, something happened. My legs began to cramp (抽筋). I, standing on my bike, couldn’t pedal, or move forwards. I was about to lose my balance.
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。
Just at the critical moment, Ed jumped down from the top and gave me a helping hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ed and I cheered for them while they were struggling to ride towards the top.

参考答案
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B
【分析】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了苏格兰城堡的住宿信息，包括城堡的特色、住宿价格等内容
【解析】1．细节理解题。根据Kinnaird Castle, Angus部分的“Kinnaird is only open to the public for one day each year, so you’ll have the place to yourself; and if you enjoy wild swimming, head for the lake. (金纳德每年只对公众开放一天，所以你可以独享这个地方；如果你喜欢野外游泳，那就去湖边吧。)”可知，在金纳德城堡（Kinnaird Castle），如果你喜欢野泳，可以去湖里玩水，也就是可以在湖里戏水（Play with water in the lake）。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据Leslie Castle, Insch, Aberdeenshire部分的“Rooms 240 per night with breakfast; dinner 35 a head(客房每晚240英镑（含早餐）；晚餐每人35英镑；)”可知，房间每晚240英镑含早餐，晚餐每人35英镑。一对夫妇住两晚，房间费用是240×2=480英镑，两晚晚餐费用是35×2×2=140英镑，所以最多要支付480+140=620英镑。故选D项。
3．推理判断题。通读文章可知，文章主要介绍了苏格兰的几座可以居住的城堡，包括城堡的相关信息（如历史、设施等）以及住宿价格等，这些内容与旅行（Travel）相关，所以这篇文章可能来自报纸的旅行版块。故选B项。
【答案】4．B 5．C 6．B 7．A
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者探索Nartiang巨石的故事。
【解析】4．细节理解题。由文章第一段“My family and I had set out on a day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji, a town known for being one of the wettest places on Earth. However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). (我和家人从Shillong出发前往Cherrapunji，这是一个以地球上最潮湿的地方之一而闻名的小镇。然而，在我们被困在交通中四个多小时后，我的一个姐姐提议回到城市，作为最后一次尝试，以挽救当天剩下的一切。一个快速的在线搜索显示，Shillong周围还有其他必去景点。大多数人都很熟悉，但有一个引起了我们的注意——Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。)”可知，作者因为交通被困，所以改变原来旅游路线，不得已选择参观Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。故选B项。
5．词句猜测题。由文章第二段“He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella ’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.(他要求向拉良首领的小女儿借把伞，但她想试试他传奇般的力量你为什么不去集市上搬那块巨石当伞用呢？”她轻蔑地说。在她的挑战的 下，他就这么做了，但在到达Nartiang之前，雨停了，他把它放在了森林里。)”可推测，这里指在女孩的话语的“刺激”下，巨人搬了石头。所以猜测Emboldened表“被刺激”。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。由文章第三段“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory(在Nartiang巨石的案例中，古代故事和记忆有一定的重叠。当地人对这个地方是如何形成的描述是基于古代故事或民俗。但他们也记得它，因为它是他们祖先每周的集市、纪念碑和政治集会的场所。口述历史就是这样运作的。它将事实和虚构混合到集体记忆中)”可知，文中提到了Dr. Reeju Ray的话是为了说明这个神秘的故事是如何产生的。故选B项。
7．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention—Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.(一个快速的在线搜索显示，Shillong周围还有其他必去景点。大多数人都很熟悉，但有一个引起了我们的注意——Nartiang及其神秘的巨石。照片显示，高高的石头以一种奇怪的形式堆积在一起，尽管缺乏细节，但仍呼吁我们进一步探索。)”以及下文可知，文章主要讲作者探索Nartiang巨石的故事，所以A项A Trip to the Monoliths(巨石之旅)作为文章标题，与本文主题相符合。故选A项。
【答案】8．A 9．D 10．D 11．B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施。
【解析】8．细节理解题。根据第一段“This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.(气候危机加剧了这种“灾难性”损失；根据语言学家的说法。保守估计，如果不采取任何措施，到本世纪末，目前使用的7000种语言中有一半将灭绝)”以及第二段“Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct.(说少数民族语言的人经历了漫长的迫害历史，结果到20世纪20年代，澳大利亚、美国、南非和阿根廷的土著语言中有一半已经灭绝)”可知，作者主要关心的是语言的消失。故选A。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段“Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.(瓦努阿图是一个南太平洋岛国，面积12189平方公里，拥有110种语言，是地球上语言密度最高的国家。她说，它也是海平面上升风险最大的国家之一。“许多小语言社区位于岛屿和海岸线上，容易受到飓风和海平面上升的影响。”另一些人生活在气温上升威胁到传统农业和渔业的土地上，导致迁徙)”可推知，第3段提到瓦努阿图是为了说明少数民族语言社区的情况。故选D。
10．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.(联合国大会主席Csaba Korosi表示，促进和保护土著社区的语言“不仅对他们很重要，对全人类也很重要”。他敦促各国允许用土著语言进行教育)”可知，土著语言国际十年的目标是保护土著社区的语言。故选D。
11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.(每40天就有一种语言消亡。气候危机加剧了这种“灾难性”损失；根据语言学家的说法。保守估计，如果不采取任何措施，到本世纪末，目前使用的7000种语言中有一半将灭绝)”结合文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施。可知，B选项“语言的丧失：海平面上升带来灾难的威胁”最符合文章标题。故选B。
【答案】12．D 13．A 14．B 15．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了毕达哥拉斯音乐理论受到挑战的研究发现。
【解析】12．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“The philosopher’s belief that listeners like music played in perfect mathematical ratios better was so influential that it has shaped how western musicians play instruments. (这位哲学家认为，听众更喜欢完美的数学比例演奏的音乐，这一观点影响深远，甚至影响了西方音乐家演奏乐器的方式)”可知，Pythagoras可能会同意“音乐中更喜欢完美的数学比例”这一说法。故选D。
13．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But when Harrison at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues surveyed 4,272 people in the UK and South Korea about their view of music, their findings (但是，当剑桥大学的哈里森和他的同事调查了英国和韩国的4272人对音乐的看法时，他们的发现)”和“In one experiment, participants were played musical chords (和弦) and asked to rate how pleasant they seemed. Listeners showed a slight preference for sounds with an imperfect ratio. (在一项实验中，参与者被演奏和弦，并被要求评价他们看起来有多愉快。听众对比例不完美的声音表现出轻微的偏好)”可知，但是当剑桥大学的哈里森和他的同事对英国和韩国的4272人进行了关于他们对音乐的看法的调查时，他们的发现与这一古老的观点相悖，这一古老的观点受到挑战。flew in the face of表示“挑战”。A. Challenged挑战；B. Defended辩护；C. Matched匹配；D. Improved改进。故选A。
14．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Listeners showed a slight preference for sounds with an imperfect ratio (听众对比例不完美的声音表现出轻微的偏好)”可知，从实验中我们可以推断出听众对比例不完美的声音有轻微的偏好。故选B。
15．细节理解题。根据最后一段中““What our studies are showing is that, actually, this is not an sacred law. It’s something that depends very much on the way in which you’re playing music.” he says. (他说：“我们的研究表明，实际上，这不是一条神圣的规律。这在很大程度上取决于你演奏音乐的方式。”)”可知，根据哈里森的说法，和谐取决于演奏音乐的方式。故选C。
【答案】16．C 17．E 18．F 19．D 20．B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章提醒勿让人格类型定义自己，指出MBTI测试有局限，应正确看待其结果以更好生活。
【解析】16．由上文“Personality tests, especially the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI), are popular tools that many people use to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types based on four key categories.(人格测试，尤其是迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标（MBTI），是许多人用来更好地了解自己和与他人关系的流行工具。MBTI根据四个关键类别将人们分为16种不同的人格类型。)”可知，这里介绍了 MBTI 这种人格测试会将人按四个关键类别分为 16 种不同人格类型，空格处需要对其分类情况进一步说明来衔接后文，且后文“But people are complex.(但人是复杂的。)”进行转折，而C项“The MBTI system provides a simple way to categorize individuals based on their preferences.(MBTI系统提供了一种根据个人偏好对其进行分类的简单方法。)”符合语境，与前文衔接且能引出后文关于其局限性的阐述。故选C项。
17．由上文“The key is not to accept the label as an unchangeable fact.(关键是不要接受标签是不可改变的事实。)”可知， 这里强调不要把标签当作不可改变的事实，空格处要进一步说明对待测试结果应有的正确做法，而E项“You should see it as a starting point for self-reflection and growth.(你应该把它看作是自我反思和成长的起点。)”符合此处语境，对前文进行了合理的延伸，其中it指代上文the label ，有承上作用。故选E项。
18．由上文“Similarly, if you are categorized as a ‘thinking’ type, it might lead you to believe that you are always rational.(同样地，如果你被归类为‘思考’型，这可能会让你认为自己总是理性的。)”可知，这里提及被归为某类型后的片面认知，空格后“Emotional response is also an essential part of human nature, and embracing them can enhance your decision-making process and relationships.(情感反应也是人性的重要组成部分，接纳它们可以增强你的决策过程和人际关系。)” 强调情感的重要性，而F 项“However, it’s essential to understand that both parts of the personality are valuable.(然而，重要的是要明白人格的这两部分都是有价值的。)”起到承上启下作用，指出人格两部分都有价值，使前后衔接自然。故选F项。
19．由上文“They might think, for instance, that an ‘introvert’ would not be a good leader.(例如，他们可能认为内向的人不会成为好的领导者。)”可知，这里举例说明人们对内向者在职场上的错误认知，空格后“Many introverts achieve success through careful listening and thoughtful decision-making.(许多内向者通过认真倾听和深思熟虑的决策取得了成功。)” 表明内向者也能成功，而D项“But there are countless examples of introverts excelling in these types of roles.(但有无数内向者在这些角色中表现出色的例子。)” 能很好地衔接前后，用例子反驳前文观点。故选D项。
20．由上文“Finally, one of the most important lessons we can learn from the MBTI is that we are not defined by one test or label. (最后，我们可以从MBTI中学到的最重要的教训之一是，我们不是由一个测试或标签来定义的。)”可知，这里说明不能被测试或标签定义，空格处要进一步说明对测试结果的正确看法，而B项“The test results should be seen as a guide, not a limitation.(测试结果应该被看作是一种指导，而不是一种限制。)”指出应把测试结果当作指导而非限制，与后文“By focusing on our strengths and embracing the full complexity of our personalities, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives.(通过关注我们的优势并接纳我们个性的全部复杂性，我们可以过上更丰富、更充实的生活。)” 相呼应，符合文意。故选B项。

Slowly, I started pedaling again, using all my strength to overcome the pain. Inch by inch, I moved forward, determined to reach the top. As I made it, Ed gave me a high five with a big smile. Then we noticed the other riders approaching us very slowly.
Ed and I cheered for them while they were struggling to ride towards the top. We clapped and shouted words of encouragement, knowing they needed that extra push. It was tough, but everyone had stuck it out, and that was what mattered. One by one, our friends made it up the steep hill. When the last rider finally made it to the top, we all gathered together, breathless but happy. Laughing, we made our way to Dairy Queen for burgers and Becker’s for donuts, celebrating not just our victory, but the teamwork and determination that had carried us through.
