文章分析
这篇阅读材料的核心内容是关于国家地理学会与大自然保护协会联合开展的淡水保护远程实习项目的公告。文章难度主要体现在信息模块清晰但细节繁多，包含项目背景、体验内容、资格要求以及带有数字计算的报酬说明。考生需要准确抓取各模块的关键信息，并注意数字细节（如时长、时薪、奖励）以完成题目。
文章结构为总分结构：开篇引言阐明项目背景与目的，随后分模块详细说明项目体验、资格要求、时间安排及报酬。理解文章的关键在于快速定位特定信息点（如项目目标、活动内容、报酬计算方式），而不需要理解复杂的概念或长难句。
解题思路
21. What is the purpose of this externship program
答案: D. To help understand freshwater challenges.
解析: 此题为主旨细节题，解题关键在于理解引言部分的核心陈述。
文章开篇明确指出：“Understanding the interconnectedness and complexity of local and regional freshwater issues is critical... That's why... developed a program...”（理解地方和区域淡水问题的相互关联性和复杂性至关重要……这就是为什么……开发了这个项目）。这直接说明了项目的主要目的是帮助（年轻人）理解淡水挑战。
选项A（促进国际合作）：项目面向全球年轻人并重视文化多样性，但这只是项目的一个特征，而非其核心目的。
选项B（提供实地实践经验）：项目是“remote”（远程的），并非“hands-on field experience”（亲身的实地经验）。
选项C（介绍与淡水相关的职业）：项目体验中提到了解相关职业（learn about freshwater conservation careers），但这只是项目活动的一部分，而非整个项目的根本目的。
22. What might participants do during the externship
答案: C. Put forward workable solutions.
解析: 此题为具体细节题，解题关键在于在“The Experience”部分寻找对活动描述的关键词。
项目体验的第四点明确指出：“propose actionable solutions”（提出可行的解决方案）。这与选项C (“Put forward workable solutions”) 完全同义。
选项A（为项目筹集资金）：全文未提及任何筹款活动。
选项B（记录全球案例研究）：文中提到会通过“case studies provided by the two partner organizations”（合作组织提供的案例研究）进行学习，而非要求参与者自己去“document”（记录）全球案例。
选项D（参与制定当地政策）：文中提到会“Engage with local leaders...”（与当地领导人交流）并“identify local freshwater issues”（识别当地淡水问题），但并未提到会直接参与“making local policies”（制定当地政策）。
23. How much will an 8-week extern earn at most upon full completion
答案: C. $510.
解析: 此题为数字计算题，解题关键在于理解“at most upon full completion”（完全完成后最多能赚取）的含义，这需要将基本工资和额外奖励相加。
首先，计算8周项目的基本工资：每周工作10小时，时薪$6。总基本工资 = 8周 * 10小时/周 * $6/小时 = $480。
其次，注意表格下方的注释：“Those who finish all required tasks... will be qualified for an additional reward.”（完成所有必需任务……将有资格获得额外奖励）。8周项目的额外奖励是$30。
因此，最高总收入 = 基本工资 ($480) + 额外奖励 ($30) = $510。
选项A ($200) 和B ($220) 远低于计算结果。
选项D ($480) 是未计算额外奖励的基本工资总额，不符合“upon full completion”（完全完成）的条件。

在法国工作室的一个安静下午，木工艺术家华勇发现自己正在看水沸腾。她无意识地伸手拿手机并刷新屏幕。就在那一刻，她意识到现代生活被速度吞噬的程度。“我们完全被快节奏的生活裹挟，”她说，“在日常生活的混乱中，越来越难找到放松的时间。”
华勇是2024年“智慧之手”奖的获得者，该奖项是中法工艺交流项目的一部分。去年她在巴黎度过了两个月，这段难得的连续时间让她得以反思创作行为。她开始尝试简单的几何形状，通过重复它们创造超越时空的视觉效果。“我思考如何从无到有创造新事物，并用中国传统工艺的最高标准将这些想法变为现实。”
“木工需要投入时间，”她指出。她在北京艺术平台“艺术8”举办的展览《在寂静中改变世界》标志着一整年反思的高潮。展览持续至六月中旬，展出25件作品，其中11件是在巴黎驻留后创作的。作品包括一张漩涡状的桌子，将观者的思绪带入不同维度。“我们希望所有工艺在此安静地陪伴观者，带来短暂的精神逃离和片刻放松。”
“她作品中动静之间的形态变化是概念性不安的投射，”“智慧之手”艺术总监苏丹评价华勇归来后的转变。“她长期接触中国传统材料并持续思考。在这种反思状态下创作的作品成为设计哲学的典范：它们是短暂的，却又是永恒的。”
24.第一段中华勇为何伸手拿手机？
A.她想拍照。 B.她试图在混乱中休息。
C.她打算打电话。 D.她已形成习惯性行为。
25.华勇在巴黎驻留后做出了什么改变？
A.融合中法木工工艺。 B.创造性地运用几何形状。
C.转向稀有且简单的材料。 D.灵活采用数字技术。
26.关于《在寂静中改变世界》中的作品，我们知道什么？
A.它们几乎不依赖手工。 B.它们映射现代生活的匆忙。
C.以精神放松为特色。 D.它们深受观者赞赏。
27.苏丹对华勇的暗示是什么？
A.她在巴黎经历了生活动荡。 B.她抛弃了木工传统。
C.她的作品成为最佳典范。 D.她的作品投射一致的理念。
文章分析
本文是一篇人物报道，介绍了中国木工技艺艺术家华勇（Hua Yong）在法国驻留期间的创作感悟与艺术转变。文章通过具体事例、引用和展览介绍，展现了华勇对现代快节奏生活的反思，以及她如何将这种思考融入创作，形成独特的艺术风格。文章结构清晰，从个人观察引出主题，进而阐述艺术探索和成果，最后借专家之口点明其作品深意。
文章结构：
第一段： 通过一个生活化场景（看水沸时无意识刷手机）引出华勇对现代生活“速度”的反思，奠定文章基调。
第二段： 介绍华勇的荣誉（“智慧之手”奖）及巴黎驻留经历，说明这段经历如何促使她进行艺术上的新探索（几何形式的实验与最高工艺标准的结合）。
第三段： 具体描述华勇的展览《在沉默中改变世界》，点明其作品的核心诉求（陪伴观者，带来心灵逃离与放松时刻），并举例说明（漩涡状桌子）。
第四段： 通过艺术总监苏丹的评论，深入解读华勇作品的哲学内涵（动与静的变化、概念的动荡、短暂与永恒的辩证），升华主题。
解题思路分析
24. Why did Hua Yong reach for her phone in Paragraph 1
答案: D. She had formed the habitual behavior.
解析： 此题为细节推理题。解题关键在于理解“Without thinking”和上下文。第一段描述华勇在看着水煮沸时，“毫无意识地（Without thinking）”伸手去拿手机刷新屏幕。这个动作发生在她思考生活节奏之前，是一种无意识的、习惯性的行为。紧接着她由此意识到现代生活被速度吞噬（“completely swept up by the fast pace”）。A、B、C选项均给出了有特定目的的原因（拍照、休息、打电话），但文中均未提及，且与“毫无意识”的行为描述相矛盾。D选项“她已形成了习惯性行为”最符合文意。
25. What change did Hua Yong make after her Paris residency
答案: B. She applied geometric shapes creatively.
解析： 此题为细节题。解题关键在于定位“after her Paris residency”带来的变化。第二段明确提到，在巴黎的两个月里，她开始“experimenting with simple geometric forms, repeating them to create visual effects...”（实验简单的几何形式，重复它们以创造视觉效果...）。第三段也提到展览中的25件作品有11件是巴黎之后创作的。B选项“她创造性地运用了几何形状”是对原文的同义转述。A选项“融合中法木工技艺”文中未提，只提到项目是交流项目。C选项“转向使用稀有简单的材料”错误，她一直使用中国传统材料，变化的是形式而非材料。D选项“灵活采用数字技术”文中未提及。
26. What do we know about the works in Changing the World in Silence
答案: C. They featured mental relaxation.
解析： 此题为细节归纳题。解题需定位展览及其作品的特点。第三段后半部分集中介绍展览。华勇本人希望 crafts “bring a brief mental escape and a moment of relaxation”（带来短暂的精神逃离和片刻放松）。C选项“它们以精神放松为特色”是对此的直接概括。A选项“它们几乎不依赖手工”与文中强调的“Wood crafting requires the investment of time”（木工需要投入时间）及“traditional Chinese craftsmanship”（中国传统工艺）相悖。B选项“它们映射了现代生活的匆忙”是华勇反思的对象，而非作品直接的特点，作品旨在提供与之相反的“放松”。D选项“它们深受观众欣赏”属于过度推断，文中只描述了作品意图，未提及观众反应。
27. What does Su Dan imply about Hua Yong
答案: C. Her works turn out the best models.
解析： 此题为推理题。解题关键在于理解苏丹评论的深层含义。最后一段苏丹说，华勇在反思状态下创作的作品成为了“models of design philosophy: They are short-lived, yet everlasting”（设计哲学的典范：它们是短暂的， yet 永恒的）。C选项“她的作品结果成为了最佳典范”是对“models of design philosophy”的合理同义转换和推断。A选项“她在巴黎经历了生活动荡”错误，苏丹说的是她作品中动静的变化是“conceptual unrest”（概念上的不安）的投射，而非她个人生活动荡。B选项“她抛弃了木工传统”与第二段“used the highest standards of traditional Chinese craftsmanship”矛盾。D选项“她的作品投射出一贯的思想”错误，苏丹强调的是她回归后的“shift”（转变）。

阅读C篇
太平洋海底的克拉里昂-克利珀顿区（CCZ）蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴元素的多金属结核。海底采矿公司将其宣传为"岩石中的电池"和"解决气候变化最简单的方式"，声称这些结核可为48亿辆电动汽车提供金属原料。
然而这种承诺正威胁着生物宝藏。海洋生物学家发现CCZ黑暗水域中栖息着5000多种独特物种。大规模钴矿开采可能导致生物多样性丧失。某公司声称已找到生态损害最小化方案，并测试了25吨级结核采集机器人。但2023年研究表明，这种开采可能造成区域永久性破坏。
国际海域尚未允许商业采矿。国际海底管理局（ISA）仍在制定采矿许可条件。经过28年讨论，其168个成员国仍未达成正式协议。当企业鼓吹使用采集机器人时，44国437名科学家要求立即叫停。ISA研究证实，仅开采CCZ区域10%就可能灭绝50%的物种。
钴矿在汽车电池技术中的重要性也存在疑问。多家电池企业正尝试回收废旧电池中的钴。3月，多家欧洲车企联合声明在环境风险"完全明确"前不会采购深海金属。而中国电动车企已实现转型，金属回收率高达95%。电池专家加文·哈珀质疑："为何急于开采即将过时的海洋金属？"
6月8日，8所高校的21名海洋学家结束CCZ六周考察，将海底样本带回实验室分析。爱丁堡大学的安德鲁表示："评估采矿影响需要多年研究。我的任务是获取最佳环境数据，最终由社会决定是否推进。"
28.为何称结核为"岩石中的电池"？
A.含有珍贵金属 B.具备充电特性
C.拥有类电池结构 D.产生可再生电力
29.关于ISA可推断出什么？
A.优先经济利益 B.对海底采矿持审慎态度
C.反对商业运作 D.需要技术支持
30.作者第四段旨在说明？
A.深海采矿满足需求 B.车企回收电池材料
C.需推广电池回收 D.钴矿开采可暂缓
31.合适的标题是？
A.海洋采矿，绿色方案 B.钴，电池的未来
C.海底金属，海洋风险？ D.CCZ，未知宝藏？
文章分析
本文是一篇议论文，聚焦于深海采矿（尤其是克拉里昂-克利珀顿区CCZ的多金属结核开采）所带来的巨大环境风险与争议。文章通过呈现支持方（采矿公司）与反对方（科学家、环保人士、部分车企）的观点，并引用多项研究数据，客观地探讨了在应对气候变化的需求与保护海洋生物多样性之间存在的深刻矛盾。文章结构清晰，论证层层递进。
文章结构：
第一段： 引出话题，陈述采矿公司对CCZ多金属结核（富含钴）的价值描述及其宏大承诺（为数十亿电动车提供金属），以此说明开采的诱人前景。
第二段： 笔锋一转，指出上述承诺背后的巨大环境代价——CCZ独特的生物多样性（超过5000个物种）面临威胁。即使公司声称有技术方案（收集机器人），研究也表明其会造成永久性破坏。
第三段： 阐述当前的国际管理僵局。国际海底管理局（ISA）多年未达成正式协议，凸显了问题的复杂性。同时引用科学界的强烈反对（437名科学家）和ISA的研究数据（开采10%或导致50%物种灭绝），强化了反对开采的论据。
第四段： 从需求端论证开采并非迫在眉睫。指出电池技术正在转向回收利用，许多主流车企对深海金属持谨慎或拒绝态度，并以中国企业的回收成果为例，通过专家之问直接质疑开采的必要性。
第五段： 以最新科学考察的实例收尾，强调决策必须基于长期、严谨的科学研究，将最终的社会性决策与科学评估分开，保持了客观冷静的立场。
解题思路分析
28. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”
答案: A. They contain valuable metals.
解析： 此题为细节理解题。解题关键在于理解“a battery in a rock”这个比喻的实质。根据第一段，这些结核（nodules）富含钴（cobalt），而钴是制造电动汽车电池的关键金属材料。因此，称其为“岩石中的电池”并不是说它本身是一个电池结构（B、C）或能发电（D），而是比喻它内部含有制造电池所必需的宝贵金属。A选项准确捕捉到了这一本质。
29. What can be inferred about the ISA
答案: B. It is guarded about seabed mining.
解析： 此题为推理判断题。解题需要从ISA的行为中推断其态度。第三段指出，ISA经过28年的辩论仍未能就其国际水域的商业采矿规则达成正式协议（“still lack formal agreement”）。这种长期的谨慎和犹豫，表明该组织对开启海底采矿持非常警惕和谨慎（guarded） 的态度，而非盲目追求经济利益（A）或直接反对（C）。文中也未提及其需要技术支持（D）。
30. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4
答案: D. Sea-bed mining for cobalt can wait.
解析： 此题为段落主旨题。解题需概括第四段的核心论点。该段通过一系列事实（电池公司转向回收、欧洲车企拒绝购买、中国车企实现高回收率）论证了一个核心观点：对钴的需求并非只能通过深海采矿来满足，且电池技术也在变革。因此，作者意在说明，出于环境风险考虑，我们完全不必急于（Why rush ） 进行海底采矿。D选项“为钴进行海底采矿可以暂缓”准确概括了此意。A与段落观点相反；B和C是段落中用来支持核心论点的论据，而非段落主旨。
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
答案: C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk
解析： 此题为标题归纳题。解题需综合全文主旨。文章通篇在探讨海底金属（Ocean Metals）所蕴含的巨大价值与其带来的巨大生态风险（Ocean Risk）。标题用一个问句形式，既概括了内容，又引发了读者的思考，与文章客观探讨争议的风格高度一致。A选项只看到采矿公司的一面之词，忽略了下文的风险。B选项过于片面，未涉及争议核心——环境。D选项只介绍了CCZ，未突出“开采与风险”这一核心冲突。
阅读D篇
你是否曾因压力过大而陷入"僵住"状态？
身体静止不动，几乎感受不到外界，感官却在超负荷运转。你明知必须行动，却仿佛被某种力量阻止。这种"冻结反应"，学术上称为强直性静止（tonic immobility），是人类面对压力或危险时的适应性防御机制。
冻结发生时，心率下降、血压变化、瞳孔扩大，荷尔蒙急速分泌使身体进入备战状态——这一切可在数秒内完成。相较于"战斗或逃跑"的生存逻辑，"僵住"看似适得其反，使人丧失行动与决策能力。但事实果真如此吗？
荷兰神经科学家Karin Roelofs教授指出："人们误以为冻结是系统宕机，但我们发现：在威胁情境中，冻结帮助人类收集更多信息、准备行动，并提升感知与决策能力。" 这实则是种紧急觉察状态——警觉而非瘫痪。
关键在于：这种反应可以通过训练控制。Roelofs团队研究发现两类典型群体：保持极致静止的街头"活体雕塑"表演者，以及需在绝对静止中决策的狙击手。实验室通过虚拟现实射击游戏证实：冻结反应强烈者表现更优、决策更快。此时"大脑杂音降低，感知力提升，决策既快且准"。
若你并非狙击手，却需应对考试或主持重要会议时怎么办？这些涉及社交压力的场景虽不致命，仍可能引发冻结。破解之道在于通过训练转化这种反应——尤其是慢速有节奏的呼气训练。掌握此法，纵使非狙击手，亦能在关键时刻精准出击。
32. 根据文章，“冻结反应”发生时会发生什么？
A. 失去意识 B. 心跳加速
C. 感官更敏锐 D. 呼吸加快

文章分析
本文是一篇科普说明文，旨在介绍和解释人在压力下出现的“冻结”（freezing）反应，并纠正对此现象的普遍误解。文章通过阐述其生理机制、进化意义，并引用神经科学家的研究，最终落脚于如何通过训练将这种本能反应转化为优势。文章逻辑清晰，层层递进，兼具科学性和实用性。
文章结构：
第一段： 通过一个设问句引入主题，描述“冻结”现象的主观体验，并给出其学术术语“紧张性不动”（tonic immobility），点明其本质是一种适应性的防御反应。
第二段： 具体说明“冻结”发生时的客观生理变化（心率、血压、瞳孔、激素），强调其发生速度之快。
第三段： 探讨“冻结”看似矛盾的价值。先提出大众的误解（认为它是系统关闭），再引用专家Karin Roelofs的观点，揭示其真正作用——收集信息、准备行动、提升感知和决策，并将其重新定义为“紧急流动状态”。
第四段： 论证“冻结”反应的可训练性。以“活体雕塑”和“狙击手”两个极端例子作为证据，并引用实验室虚拟现实游戏的研究结果，支持“冻结能提升表现”的论点。
第五段： 将理论应用于日常生活场景（考试、会议），指出社会压力同样会引发冻结，并给出具体的、可操作的训练建议——保持缓慢、有节奏的呼气，从而帮助读者掌控该反应。
解题思路分析
32. What happens in“ freezing” according to the text
答案: C. Senses are sharper.
解析： 此题为细节理解题。解题关键在于定位文中对“冻结”状态的描述。第一段明确指出“your senses are working overtime”（你的感官在超负荷工作）。第三段神经学家的话也证实了这一点，指出冻结有助于“improve perception”（改善感知）。因此，感官是变得更敏锐（sharper），而非失去意识（A）。B选项“心脏剧烈跳动”是“战斗或逃跑”反应的典型特征，而第二段说明冻结时“heart rate drops”（心率下降）。D选项“呼吸加快”文中未提及，最后一段反而建议用“有节奏的呼气”来控制它。
33. What does the underlined word “petrified” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
答案: B. Panicked.
解析： 此题为词义猜测题。解题需结合上下文逻辑。该词出现在对“freezing”的重新定义中：“Freezing acts like an emergency flow state: watchful, not petrified.”（冻结就像一种紧急流动状态：警惕，而非______）。这里用“not”形成对比，说明这种状态不是一种极端的、失控的恐惧。“watchful”（警惕的）是积极、冷静的状态，与之相反的应是“因极度恐惧而动弹不得或惊慌失措”。A. Confused（困惑的）、C. Distressed（痛苦的）、D. Occupied（忙碌的）均无法与“watchful”形成最直接、最强烈的对比。B. Panicked（惊慌的）最能体现因恐惧而失去冷静的状态，符合语境。
34. Why are living statues and snipers mentioned in Paragraph 4
答案: C. To support response training.
解析： 此题为写作目的题。解题需看例子所服务的论点。该段主旨句是首句“Importantly, this response can be trained.”（重要的是，这种反应是可以训练的）。紧接着，作者提到“活体雕塑”和“狙击手”，就是为了给出能够通过训练来控制冻结反应的真实例子，以此支持“可训练”这一论点。A选项“对比反应类型”错误，文中并未对比这两种职业的反应。B选项“说明冻结原因”错误，例子是用来说明如何控制冻结，而非其原因。D选项“批评压力大的职业”完全偏离文章客观中立的科普基调。
35. How should students manage exam freezing according to the text
答案: B. Apply trained breathing.
解析： 此题为细节应用题。解题关键在于定位文章最后给出的具体建议。第五段在提出考试等社会压力也会引发冻结后，明确指出“The key is to use this response through training, particularly focused breathing: maintain slow, rhythmic exhalation.”（关键在于通过训练来利用这种反应，特别是专注呼吸：保持缓慢、有节奏的呼气）。因此，B选项“运用训练过的呼吸技巧”是原文信息的直接对应。A选项“寻求专业帮助”、C选项“屏住呼吸以保持静止”、D选项进行“最后一刻的修复”均未在文中被提及为解决方案。

当我第一次开始旅行时，我爸爸问我在逃避什么。有一次，一个朋友告诉我，不要再逃避问题，开始过真正的生活。我也不确定为什么。36但有一种看法认为，旅行者一定是在逃避某些东西。我们在逃避责任、挑战，最终逃避成熟。人们认为我们就像彼得潘一样拒绝成为“成人”。对此，我想说：你们说得对。
37. 我正在逃避人们对“真实”世界的固定观念。我在逃避办公室生活、通勤、周末的责任以及社会为我们设定的“正常”生活道路。我在逃避，因为我想体验每一种文化，看到每一座山，尝试不同的食物，参加疯狂的节日，认识新的人，享受世界各地的假期。我想构建一个让我幸福的生活。
在我们的社会中，被接受的生活道路狭窄且漫长：你上大学，找到一份工作，结婚，买房，生二三个孩子，养育他们，然后退休。只有到那个时候，完成了“规定的”任务，你才能享受劳动的成果。38. 社会将你关在门外，并限制你的行动符合他们的期望。 而任何偏离这一轨迹的行为都会被视为异常和奇怪。
对我而言，那些环游世界的人并不是在逃避生活。39. 相反，他们正在奔向真正的生活。相反，他们是在向真正的生活前进。他们拥有许多人永远无法体验到的自由，他们能够成为自己人生的船长。
人们可能会告诉你，他们羡慕你做的事情，甚至说他们希望自己能像你一样旅行。但他们从不去做。很少有人有勇气去冒险。但生活是你自己定义的。生活是你自己创造的。40. 如果你真的想要什么，你必须去追求它。 所以，我不是在逃避。我只是去追寻属于我自己的生活。我永远不会回头。
A. 旅行是每个人都应该做的事情。
B. 负责任的人不会永远旅行。
C. 相反，他们正在奔向真正的生活。
D. 如果你真的想要什么，你必须去追求它。
E. 我正在逃避人们对“真实”世界的固定观念。
F.但有一种看法认为，旅行者一定是在逃避某些东西。
G. 社会将你关在门外，并限制你的行动符合他们的期望。
文章分析
本文是一篇描述旅行与个人选择的议论文，采用第一人称视角，作者通过讲述旅行的意义和人们对旅行的误解，表达了对自由生活方式的追求。文章从社会的常规路径出发，讨论了旅行者是否真的在逃避生活，最终强调了旅行和生活的自主选择，并传达了对个体自由的尊重和追求。
结构分析：
第一段： 引入问题并设置悬念。作者提到父亲和朋友认为他在逃避什么，疑问开始揭示旅行背后的深层原因。
第二段： 通过列举日常生活中的种种枯燥和被社会规范化的行为，表达了旅行者为何选择“逃避”这些事情，暗示旅行给人带来的自由和可能的不同选择。
第三段： 讨论社会对“正常”生活的期望，揭示偏离常规的行为会被视为不正常，强调对个人生活方式的局限性。
第四段： 通过对比，作者指出那些旅行的人并非在逃避生活，而是在追求真正的自由，享受更真实的生活体验。
第五段： 以积极的态度总结全文，强调生活是自己创造的，旅行者是在追寻自己的生活，而不是逃避。
选项分析
36. (对应高考题型：段中句 - 36空)
答案: F. But there is this perception that travelers must be escaping something.
解析思路:
定位分析： 该空位于第一段中间。空前是作者被父亲和朋友质问“在逃避什么”，空后是“我们逃避责任、挑战和成熟……”。
逻辑判断： 空前是具体的个人经历，空后是对“逃避”内容的抽象概括。因此，此处需要一个承上启下的句子，将个人经历升华到一种普遍的社会观念。
选项匹配： F选项中的“this perception”（这种看法）完美指代了前文父亲和朋友的质问，“travelers must be escaping something”则直接引出了后文对“逃避”内容的具体阐述。它解释了为什么作者会听到这些质疑，以及为什么下文会讨论“逃避”的话题。
干扰项排除： 其他选项在此处均不适用。例如，E选项是具体定义“逃避什么”，应放在后文；C选项是转折立论，语气过早。
37. (对应高考题型：段首句 - 37空)
答案: E. I’m running away from people's fixed idea of the “real” world.
解析思路:
定位分析： 该空位于第二段段首。空后详细列举了“办公室生活、通勤、社会设定的‘正常’路径”等。
逻辑判断： 段首句通常是主题句或总起句，概括本段大意。后文的具体内容都是对“fixed idea of the ‘real’ world”（对“真实”世界的刻板认知）的详细举例和解释。
选项匹配： E选项是一个高度概括的论点， precisely defines（精确定义）了作者所要“逃避”的对象，与后文的举例说明构成“总-分”关系，逻辑非常紧密。
干扰项排除： G选项（社会禁锢你）是类似观点，但它的主语是“Society”，而本段后文的主语是“I”，用E选项保持主语一致，衔接更自然。
38. (对应高考题型：段尾句 - 38空)
答案: G. Society boxes you in and restricts your movements to their expectations.
解析思路:
定位分析： 该空位于第三段末尾。空前完整描述了社会所期望的“漫长而狭窄”的人生标准路径（上学、工作、结婚等），并评论说“任何偏离都被视为反常”。
逻辑判断： 段尾句常起到总结、深化或批判的作用。前文是现象描述，此处需要一个能揭示其本质的句子进行收束。
选项匹配： G选项中的“boxes you in”（将你禁锢在条框里）和“restricts your movements to their expectations”（用他们的期望限制你的行动）是对前文“accepted path”（公认道路）和“deviation is considered abnormal”（偏离被视为反常）的本质概括和强烈批判，完美总结本段。
干扰项排除： B选项与作者观点完全相反；D选项是行动号召，放在这里过于突兀。
39. (对应高考题型：段中句 - 39空)
答案: C. On the contrary, they are running toward true living.
解析思路:
定位分析： 该空位于第四段中间。空前是作者的核心论点“For me, those... aren't running away from life.”（对我而言，那些人不是在逃避生活）。空后是“他们在探索世界…他们是自己人生的船长”。
逻辑判断： 空前提出一个否定陈述（不是A），空后进行肯定的具体描述（是B）。中间极其需要一个表示强烈转折对立的短语，来引出正面观点。
选项匹配： C选项中的“On the contrary”（正相反）是完美的转折信号词，表明后文将陈述与“逃避生活”截然相反的观点。“running toward true living”（奔向真正的生活）又与后文的“exploring the world”（探索世界）、“living on their own terms”（按自己的方式生活）、“freedom”（自由）等关键词同义复现，逻辑衔接天衣无缝。
干扰项排除： A选项是建议，无关；D选项也是建议，语气不符。
40. (对应高考题型：段中句 - 40空)
答案: D. If you really want something, you have to go after it.
解析思路:
定位分析： 该空位于第五段后半部分。空前是“Life is yours to create”（人生由你创造），空后是“So I'm not running away. I am just going after my own life.”（所以我不是在逃避，我只是在追逐我想要的生活）。
逻辑判断： 空前是抽象的原则，空后是具体的结论。此处需要一个连接原则与结论的句子，它应该是一个行动指南或条件句，说明“如何”去创造人生。
选项匹配： D选项是一个普适性的行动法则（如果想要，就必须去追求）。它完美地解释了“如何”去“create”你的人生——那就是“go after it”（主动追求）。它既是前文“人生由你创造”的具体化，又直接引出了后文“I am just going after my own life”的结论，其中“go after”是关键词重现。
干扰项排除： A选项语气绝对，且偏离论证核心；B选项观点错误。
完形填空
马库斯是那种从不举手、很少进行眼神交流、下课铃一响就立刻离开教室的人。自然，我以为他很疏远（distant），甚至无礼，因为我总是确信自己很了解（read）人。
但一切从我们被配对（paired）进行小组项目那天开始改变。当老师宣布我们的名字（names）在一起时，他看过来，对我微微点头（nod）。没有微笑，没有问候，仅此而已。我翻了翻（rolled）眼睛，完全不指望能和他良好合作。令我惊讶（surprise）的是，马库斯在第一次会议时就准备充分：他有笔记、问题，甚至对如何公平分工提出了建议（suggestions）。我忍不住问：“你总是这么有条理（organized）吗？”他耸耸肩说：“只在我关心的时候。”那一刻，我意识到言语不是他常用的工具（tools），但当他使用时，它们很重要（mattered）。
在接下来的两周里，我们并肩工作。他不是我以为的那种人。他不是在回避人群；他只是不知道如何主动接触（reach out）。他不是看不起别人；他只是害羞。我们展示项目那天，他自信地（confidently）发言，还带着惊人的幽默感。下课后，老师表扬了我们，我转向马库斯说：“很高兴我们被分在一组。”他低下头，微微一笑，回答说：“我也是。”
那天我意识到，当你没能（fail）深入观察时，误解一个人是多么容易。从那时起，我努力更仔细地倾听，更缓慢地评判（judge），并给予人们空间来向我展示他们是谁。

文章分析
文体： 记叙文
主旨： 本文通过叙述者与同学Marcus从误解到理解的过程，揭示了一个深刻的道理：不要凭借表面现象和第一印象轻易地评判他人，而应付出努力去深入了解，给予他人展示真实自我的空间。
叙事脉络： 文章遵循了“提出误解 -> 事件转折 -> 发现真相 -> 获得感悟”的经典结构，情节完整，情感转变自然真实。
结构分析：
第一段（提出误解）： 开篇直接刻画Marcus内向、疏离的外在形象，并交代了叙述者基于此对其形成的负面判断（distant, rude），为下文的情节发展和观念转变埋下伏笔。
第二段（事件转折）： 小组作业的配对成为故事转折点。Marcus一个微小的“点头”打破了零交流，而他充分的会前准备彻底颠覆了叙述者的预期，引发了第一次惊讶。
第三段（发现真相）： 通过两周的合作，叙述者得以窥见Marcus的真实性格：他不是冷漠，而是害羞；不是无礼，只是不擅主动交流。项目展示时的自信表现进一步证实了这一点。
第四段（获得感悟）： 叙述者从这次经历中进行了深刻的自我反思，总结出核心道理，并决心改变自己待人接物的方式，学会了更耐心、更开放地去了解他人。
选项分析
41. 答案: C. distant (疏远的) 考点： 形容词辨析与上下文逻辑。分析： 空格处需要填入一个形容词来描述叙述者对Marcus的初始判断。后文提供的证据是“never raised his hand, rarely made eye contact, and left the room the second the bell rang”（从不举手、很少眼神交流、铃声一响就离开），这些行为共同描绘出一个与人保持距离、显得冷漠的形象。A. decent (体面的) 和 B. tolerant (宽容的) 是褒义词，与上下文矛盾。D. selfish (自私的) 虽然可能是负面评价，但文中并未提供任何体现他自私的证据。C. distant (疏远的) 最精准地概括了他的外在行为特征。
42. 答案: B. read (解读/了解)考点： 固定搭配。分析： 此处考查固定短语“have a good read on someone/something”，意为“对某人或某事有准确的解读或理解”。叙述者用这个短语来表达她对自己“看人”能力的自信，这种自信反衬了她后续的误判。A. impact (影响)、C. hold (抓住)、D. impression (印象) 均无法构成此固定搭配。
43. 答案: A. paired (配对)考点： 动词辨析与学校场景常用语。分析： 上下文是老师为“group project”（小组项目）分组。“pair up”是分组活动中“两人配对”最常用的表达。B. locked up (锁起来)、C. tied up (绑起来)、D. fed up (喂饱了/厌烦了) 均与“分组”的语境完全不相关。
44. 答案: B. names (名字)考点： 名词辨析与学校场景常识。分析： 老师宣布分组结果时，最自然、最直接的方式就是念出“哪些人的名字被分在一起”。A. addresses (地址)、C. jobs (工作)、D. wishes (愿望) 在课堂分组的情境下都显得非常不合理。
45. 答案: D. nod (点头)考点： 名词辨析与上下文细节。分析： 后文紧接着说明“No smile, no greeting, just that.”（没有微笑，没有问候，就只是那个）。在所有选项中，“点头(nod)”是一个最轻微、最简单、几乎不需要言语的打招呼或表示认可的动作，完美符合“just that”的描述。A. gift (礼物)、B. book (书) 在此场景下显得突兀。C. shake (握手) 作为一种更正式、更主动的问候方式，与Marcus害羞、被动的性格不符。
46. 答案: A. rolled (转动)考点： 动词短语固定搭配。分析： “roll one‘s eyes”是固定短语，意为“翻白眼”，生动形象地表达了叙述者当时的不屑、失望和不抱期望的情绪。B. lowered (低下)、C. widened (睁大)、D. opened (睁开) 都无法传达出这种特定的情感色彩。
47. 答案: B. surprise (惊讶)考点： 固定搭配与情感逻辑。分析： “To my surprise”是固定搭配，意为“令我惊讶的是”。由于叙述者之前已经“翻了白眼”，对合作毫无期待，因此Marcus出乎意料的充分准备自然让她感到惊讶。A. excitement (兴奋) 程度过重，此时还谈不上兴奋。C. relief (宽慰) 通常发生在担忧解除之后，而叙述者的情绪主要是“不屑”而非“担忧”。D. regret (后悔) 与情感发展相反。
48. 答案: C. suggestions (建议)考点： 名词辨析与上下文并列。分析： 空格处与“notes”（笔记）、“questions”（问题）并列，都是Marcus为小组会议所做的准备工作的具体内容。对于如何分工，提出“建议(suggestions)”是最合乎逻辑的。A. contributions (贡献) 意思稍显宽泛和笼统，不如C选项具体。B. opportunities (机会)、D. possessions (财产) 完全不符合语境。
49. 答案: D. organized (有条理的)考点： 形容词辨析与因果逻辑。分析： 叙述者提出这个问题是基于前文Marcus的表现：他带来了笔记、问题和建议，这一切都显示出他非常有条理、计划周密。A. talented (有才华的)、B. impressed (印象深刻的)、C. determined (坚定的) 都可能是一个人的特质，但都无法直接、准确地从“准备充分”这个具体行为中得出。
50. 答案: C. tools (工具)考点： 名词隐喻用法。分析： 此处将“words”（言语）比喻为某种东西。对于沉默寡言的Marcus来说，言语不是他经常使用的工具或手段。A. chains (链条)、B. toys (玩具)、D. weapons (武器) 都带有强烈的负面或特定色彩，与中性客观的语境不符。
51. 答案: D. mattered (重要)考点： 动词辨析与转折逻辑。分析： 由“but”引导的转折句，意思是：虽然他不常用言语，但一旦他用了，这些话就很有分量、很重要。A. replied (回复) 不及物动词，后面不接宾语，且语义不通。B. emerged (出现) 和 C. declined (下降；拒绝) 均与“话语有分量”的语义不符。
52. 答案: B. reach out (主动接触)考点： 动词短语辨析与上下文解释。分析： 前句说“He didn‘t avoid people”，后句用“he just didn‘t know how to...”来解释他看似回避行为的真正原因。对于害羞的人来说，核心困难是“不知道如何主动与他人建立联系、伸出友谊之手”。A. show off (炫耀)、C. carry on (继续)、D. give in (屈服) 都无法准确解释害羞的本质。
53. 答案: D. confidently (自信地)考点： 副词辨析与对比逻辑。分析： 此处描述Marcus在展示项目时的状态，与之前“害羞、疏远”的形象形成鲜明对比，从而体现叙述者对他的认知发生了根本改变。“with surprising humor”（带着惊人的幽默感）也暗示了一种放松和自信的状态。A. angrily (生气地)、B. rapidly (迅速地) 和 C. delicately (精巧地；敏感地) 都无法形成这种强烈的对比，也无法与“幽默”自然衔接。
54. 答案: C. bother (费心)考点： 动词辨析与深层含义。分析： 这是关键题。“don‘t bother to do sth.” 意为“懒得费心去做某事”，强调的是一种主观意愿上的忽视和不愿意投入精力。这精准地描述了叙述者最初的问题：她过于自信（“have a good read on people”），所以根本懒得花功夫去深入了解Marcus，仅凭表面就做出了判断。而 “fail to do sth.” 强调“试图做但失败了”，这与文意不符，因为叙述者最初根本没有尝试去了解他，何谈失败？因此C选项更精准。
55. 答案: A. judge (评判)考点： 动词辨析与总结概括。分析： 这是叙述者从整个事件中汲取的教训和做出的改变。她意识到之前对Marcus的评判(judgment) 是仓促和错误的。因此，她决心以后要更缓慢地评判(judge) 他人，与上文“misunderstand someone”（误解某人）形成直接呼应。B. behave (行为)、C. explain (解释)、D. investigate (调查) 都不如“judge”能直接切中“避免误解和偏见”的主题。
语法填空
当列车像闪电般轰鸣着驶过铁轨时，很少有人会停下来想想那些守护着（safeguarding）新疆维吾尔自治区9525.68公里铁路的沉默守卫者，其中大部分铁路穿行在贫瘠的戈壁沙漠中。
这些忠诚的铁路工人勇敢地（bravely）面对沙尘暴和酷热，日夜不停地工作。他们迎风点灯，仔细检查每一寸铁轨，以确保（to ensure）旅程的安全平稳。曾经（What）依靠绳索和肌肉（进行的工作）现已发展成为一支机械化的维护力量——汗水与钢铁共同作用，在荒野中构建着一条现代丝绸之路，其（with）影响力已超越地域界限。
自中华人民共和国成立以来，在强大且有针对性的国家铁路发展战略指导（guidance）下，新疆的铁路取得了飞速发展（have progressed）。到2024年底，该地区的运营里程翻了一番，从2012年的4914.2公里增长到9525.68公里——增长了（a）93.84%。
新疆现在拥有世界上首个环塔里木盆地的沙漠铁路环线以及一条环绕准噶尔盆地的北环线，这两条环线（which）已成为促进更牢固的（stronger）民族团结、加速区域发展以及在“一带一路”倡议下实现更广泛联通的生命线。
文章分析
文体： 说明文 (Expository Writing) 与描写文 (Descriptive Writing) 的结合
主旨： 本文通过描绘新疆铁路工人在极端环境下的坚守与奉献，展示了新疆铁路网络的飞速发展及其在促进民族团结、区域发展和“一带一路”联通中的战略重要性，歌颂了平凡劳动者的伟大。
叙事脉络： 文章遵循了“由点及面”的结构：从具体人物（铁路工人）的日常工作和艰苦环境（点）切入，逐步扩展到新疆铁路的整体发展规划和宏大成就（面），最后升华到其国家战略意义。
结构分析：
第一段（引出主题）： 用诗意的比喻（“闪电般的列车”、“沉默的守卫者”）引出本文的主角——守护新疆漫长铁路线的工人们，并点明环境的艰苦（戈壁沙漠），奠定文章赞颂的基调。
第二段（具体描写）： 具体描写铁路工人们如何日夜不息，在风沙和酷热中辛勤工作，确保铁路安全。同时指出其工作方式已从传统人力向机械化转变，呼应了时代的进步。
第三段（数据论证）： 从具体描写转向宏观数据，用确切的数字和增长百分比，客观有力地证明了新疆铁路在新中国成立后，尤其是在国家战略指导下的飞速发展。
第四段（总结意义）： 总结新疆铁路建设的最新成就（两大沙漠环线），并点明其深远的政治、经济和社会意义，将主题升华到国家战略和民族团结的高度。
解题思路分析
56. 答案: safeguarding
考点： 非谓语动词（现在分词作后置定语）
分析： 空格前是名词sentinels（守卫者），后面是一个完整的宾语Xinjiang... railway。这里需要一個非谓语动词来修饰sentinels，表示这些守卫者正在执行的动作。现在分词safeguarding表示主动和正在进行，相当于定语从句...sentinels that are safeguarding...。
延伸： 现在分词短语作定语，可替换定语从句，使句子更简洁。
57. 答案: brave
考点： 副词修饰动词
分析：句子结构剖析： 这个句子的核心结构是“主语（workers） + 谓语（carry on）”。“who face sandstorms and intense heat”是一个定语从句，修饰主语“workers”。在这个定语从句中，“face”是谓语动词。
成分判断： 空格位于定语从句中，位于主语“who”和谓语动词“face”之间。这个位置最需要的是一个状语来修饰动词“face”，描述“面对”的方式。
词性选择： “brave”的形容词形式是“勇敢的”，其副词形式为“bravely”（勇敢地）。将副词“bravely”填入空格，修饰动词“face”，意思是“勇敢地面对”，句子通顺、语法正确。
58. 答案: to ensure
考点： 非谓语动词（动词不定式作目的状语）
分析： 空格前是主句They light lamps... and inspect every inch...，描述工人们的动作。空格后是目的safe and smooth journeys（安全平稳的旅程）。动词不定式to ensure最能清晰地表示目的，意为“为了确保”。
延伸： to do 可作目的状语，回答“为了什么”的问题。
59. 答案: What
考点： 主语从句
分析： 空格后是谓语has developed。空格处需要一個能引导主语从句并能在从句中充当主语的连接词。What引导主语从句What once relied on ropes and muscle（曾经依靠绳索和肌肉的东西/工作），并在从句中作主语，整个主语从句作为主句的主语。
延伸： What 引导的名词性从句可在句中作主语、宾语或表语。
60. 答案: with
考点： with的复合结构（with + n. + doing）作伴随状语
分析： 空格前后都是完整的句子。这里需要用一种结构来连接前后文，表示伴随状况或补充说明。with its reach extending... 是“with + 宾语 + 现在分词”的复合结构，在句中作状语，表示“随着其影响力延伸……”，描述一种伴随主句动作发生的情况。
延伸： with复合结构在句中作状语，可表伴随、原因、方式等。
61. 答案: have progressed
考点： 动词时态（现在完成时）
分析： 时间状语Since the founding...（自从……成立以来）是现在完成时的典型标志，表示动作从过去开始持续到现在并对现在产生影响。主语Xinjiang's railways是复数，故用have progressed。
延伸： 现在完成时常与since或for引导的时间状语连用。
62. 答案: guidance
考点： 词性转换（动词 → 名词）
分析： 空格前是形容词targeted（有针对性的）和定冠词the，后面是介词短语of... strategies。这里需要一個名词作为宾语的中心词。动词guide的名词形式是guidance，under the guidance of...是固定搭配，意为“在……的指导下”。
延伸： 许多动词通过加-ance, -ence, -ment等后缀变为名词。
63. 答案: a
考点： 冠词
分析： 空格后是数字93.84 percent increase（93.84%的增长）。虽然percent是核心词，但这里的“增长”（increase）是一个可数名词单数，且表示“一个”、“一次”增长，需要用不定冠词a。这是一种常见的表达方式。
延伸： 当increase, decrease, rise, fall等词被数字修饰时，前常加不定冠词a。
64. 答案: which
考点： 定语从句（非限制性定语从句）
分析： 空格前是逗号，先行词是both（指代塔里木盆地和准噶尔盆地两条环线）。这里需要一个关系代词来引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词进行补充说明。both of which是固定结构，意为“两者都……”，在从句中作主语。
延伸： “不定代词/数量词 + of + which/whom”可引导非限制性定语从句。
65. 答案: stronger
考点： 词性转换（形容词 → 形容词比较级）
分析： 空格处在介词for之后，名词unity之前。这里需要一個形容词来修饰名词unity（团结）。根据上下文逻辑，铁路网的作用是促进“更牢固的”民族团结，因此需要用形容词strong的比较级stronger。

An Experience of Volunteering
Last month, I volunteered at the community library. My task was to sort and label donated books for underprivileged children. It was tiring yet incredibly fulfilling.
Seeing the piles of books transform into organized shelves filled me with pride. I realized that our small actions could make a big difference. The thought of those children receiving these books brought me immense joy. I felt I was not just organizing books, but also sparking a sense of hope.
I strongly advocate that everyone join in volunteering. It’s a priceless opportunity to contribute to society and grow as a person. Let's work together to build a warmer and more caring community.

读后续写
Fourteen-year-old Nathan ran a small stand selling colorful phone cases at the annual community Summer Carnival (嘉年华). While younger kids crowded around other attractions, he focused on his modest business. His real ambition,however,lay beyond this:he dreamed of owning a 3D printer.With it,he could design and create unique pnone cases himself,transforming his small summer job into a proper online business.
One afternoon, a 10-year-old girl named Michele stopped by and bought one phone case for her mom. As they talked, Nathan shared his dream of having a 3D printer. “With that printer,I can print anything in any form," Nathan said. “Anything in any form ” Michele's eyes lit up with sudden excitement. “Once you get it, could you please make a leg for my pet duck Tim Because he was missing one,” Michele said hopefully. “That's a cool project,” Nathan replied. He thought for a minute. “I'll make him one, but it won't be ready now. I have to save up some of the money myself to buy the 3D printer.” “How lucky Tim is!You are so kind!” Michele said happily, unable to contain her excitement.
Before leaving, Michele exchanged phone numbers with Nathan. They discovered that they lived in the same neighborhood, which meant Nathan could easily get close to the duck and measure the size of its leg in person to ensure that a suitable prosthetic ( 假 体 的 ) leg could be made. He promised to reach out as soon as he could afford a printer.
That evening, Nathan told his family about Michele and his promise. His parents praised his kindness and initiative. They agreed to offer some financial support to buy the printer but also emphasized the importance of his own effort. “We're proud you're earning this yourself, Nathan,” his father said. “Saving your share shows real commitment.” Nathan nodded firmly, feeling more determined than ever.
Paragraph 1:
Nathan worked very hard for the 3D printer. He extended his business hours at the carnival, took on extra tasks like helping with cleanup after events, and even started a small online pre-order service for his custom cases. Every penny earned was diligently saved. His relentless determination impressed his parents so much that they surprised him with the remaining amount needed on his birthday. The moment he finally unboxed the shiny new printer was one of pure joy. Immediately, he contacted Michele and arranged to visit Tim the next day.
Paragraph 2:
However, creating the leg model was not easy. Taking precise measurements of the wiggling duck was a challenge in itself. Nathan spent days researching animal anatomy and testing different flexible, non-toxic materials suitable for Tim. The first few prototypes were either too heavy, too stiff, or the wrong shape. After numerous failed prints and adjustments based on observing how Tim moved and rested, Nathan finally designed a lightweight, durable, and perfectly fitting leg. The day he attached the final prosthetic to Tim, who then waddled comfortably for the first time, was unforgettable. Michele’s tearful hug of thanks was all the reward Nathan needed, filling him with a profound sense of purpose and accomplishment.

内森为购买3D打印机非常努力地工作。他延长了在嘉年华的营业时间，承担了活动后帮忙清理等额外任务，甚至为他的定制手机壳开了一个小型在线预购服务。赚到的每一分钱都被精心存起来。他不懈的决心给父母留下了深刻印象，他们在生日那天凑齐了剩余的钱，给他一个惊喜。当他最终拆开那台闪亮的新打印机时，心中充满了纯粹的喜悦。他立即联系了米歇尔，并安排第二天就去见蒂姆。
然而，制作腿模型并不容易。给这只扭来扭去的鸭子进行精确测量本身就是一项挑战。内森花了好几天时间研究动物解剖结构，并测试各种适合蒂姆的柔性、无毒材料。最初的几个原型要么太重，太硬，要么形状不对。在经历了无数次打印失败和调整后（这些调整基于观察蒂姆如何移动和休息），内森终于设计出一条轻便、耐用且完全合适的假腿。当他将最终的假肢安装到蒂姆身上，看着它第一次舒适地蹒跚而行时，那一刻令人难忘。米歇尔含泪的感谢拥抱就是对内森所有的回报，让他充满了深刻的使命感和成就感。

One quiet afternoon in France in her studio, wood crafting (木工技艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and refreshed the screen. At that very moment, she realized how much modern life is consumed by speed. “We are completely swept up by the fast pace of life,” she said. “It's becoming harder to find time to unwind among the everyday chaos of life.”
Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a Sino-French crafts exchange program, spent two months in Paris last year, a rare stretch of uninterrupted time that allowed her to reflect on the act of creation. She began experimenting with simple geometric ( 几 何 的 forms, repeating them to create visual effects that seemed to go beyond time and space. "I thought about how to create something new from nothing, and used the highest standards of traditional Chinese craftsmanship to bring these ideas to life,” she said.
"Wood crafting requires the investment of time," she noted. Her exhibition Changing the World in Silence at Yishu 8,an art platform in Beijing, marked the highlight of a year's reflection. Running through mid-June, the show featured 25.pieces,11 of which were created after her Paris residency. Among the works was a vortex-like( 漩 涡 状 的 )table, which drew the viewer's mind into a different dimension. “We hope all the crafts here quietly accompany the viewers, bringing a brief mental escape and a moment of relaxation, "described Hua.
“The changes in her work's form between movement and stillness are projections of conceptual unrest,” said Su Dan, the artistic director of Hand of Wisdom, observing Hua's shift since her return. “She has long engaged with Chinese traditional materials and been constantly thinking. Works created in such a state of reflection become models of design philosophy: They are short-lived, yet everlasting.”
1. Why did Hua Yong reach for her phone while watching water boil
A. She wanted to check the time.
B. She needed to contact a friend.
C. It was an unconscious habit.
D. She planned to take a picture.
2. What best describes Hua Yong's artistic approach after her Paris residency
A. She blended traditional skills with innovative forms.
B. She abandoned Chinese techniques for French styles.
C. She focused on creating practical household items.
D. She prioritized speed over craftsmanship quality.
3. What can be inferred about the purpose of Hua Yong's exhibition
A. It aimed to showcase expensive rare materials.
B. It sought to criticize modern technology.
C. It intended to provide a peaceful experience.
D. It focused on demonstrating technical complexity.
4. What is the main theme of Su Dan's comments about Hua Yong's work
A. The commercial value of her creations
B. The philosophical depth of her art
C. The technical flaws in her craftsmanship
D. The international recognition she received
Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt（钻）. Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and“ the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.
Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure, Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area.
Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority(ISA)is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots,437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop. ISA studies confirm that just 10%mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50%of its species.
Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are“ completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the. switch, recycling up to 95%of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated ” said battery expert Gavin Harper.
On June 8,21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining's impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I'm trying to get the best environmental data. And then it's up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”
1. What do marine biologists say about the Clarion-Clipperton Zone
A. It contains enough cobalt for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.
B. It has been permanently damaged by mining activities.
C. It hosts more than 5,000 unique species in its depths.
D. It represents the easiest solution to climate change.
2. What can be inferred from the statement by battery expert Gavin Harper
A. Deep-sea mining technology is becoming increasingly outdated.
B. There's no urgent need to pursue ocean mining for cobalt.
C. Electric vehicle producers should switch to alternative metals.
D. Battery recycling technologies are not yet economically viable.
3. What is the main argument presented in the fourth paragraph
A. The legal framework for deep-sea mining is incomplete.
B. The economic value of deep-sea cobalt is being questioned.
C. European carmakers are leading in environmental protection.
D. Chinese companies have mastered battery recycling technology.
4. What is the passage mainly about
A. The conflict between mineral resource development and ecological protection
B. The technological advances in deep-sea mining equipment and methods
C. The international cooperation in regulating underwater mining activities
D. The economic benefits of cobalt mining for electric vehicle production
Have you ever felt so stressed that you just sort of froze Your body goes still, you can't feel much but, at the same time, your senses are working overtime. You know you must act soon; but it's as if something is stopping you. This “freezing”, or tonic immobility in academic terms, is an adaptive defense response to stress or danger.
When we freeze, our heart rate drops and our blood pressure changes. Our pupils might become wider. A flood of hormones (荷尔蒙) spread quickly, readying us for action. It can all happen within seconds.
While fight-or-flight seems logical for survival, freezing appears counterproductive --- potentially too much to handle, making us incapable of acting or making a decision. But is that really all that's going on Not according to Prof Karin Roelofs, a neuroscientist who studies freezing at Radboud University. “Many people think that freezing is a kind of shutdown of the system,” she says. “What we actually find is that in threatening situations, freezing actually helps gain more information, prepare actions, and improve perception and decision making.” Freezing acts like an emergency flow state: watchful, not petrified.
Importantly, this response can be trained. Roelofs highlights two groups controlling freezing: living statues, street performers maintaining extreme stillness and snipers (狙击手) requiring absolute stillness while making decisions. Lab research confirms this. A virtual reality shooting game showed players with stronger freezing responses performed better and decided faster. Freezing doesn't slow responses. “Brain noise reduces. Perception increases. You make better decisions faster,” Roelofs clarifies.
But let's say you're not a sniper, or don't spend your weekends as a living statue. What if you're about to take an exam or lead a big business meeting Those situations involving social pressure, may not be life or death, but still can cause freezing. The key is to use this response through training, particularly focused breathing: maintain slow, rhythmic exhalation (有节奏的呼气).Instead of feeling out of control, you can master it and—sniper or not—take your best shot.
1. What does the underlined word "petrified" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Highly focused and alert
B. Extremely frightened and paralyzed
C. Physically strong and active
D. Mentally confused and lost
2. What can be inferred about the common misunderstanding of freezing response
A. It's often mistaken as a sign of cowardice
B. It's considered an intentional refusal to act
C. It's viewed as a complete system shutdown
D. It's regarded as an overreaction to stress
3. What is the author's attitude towards the freezing response
A. It's a primitive reaction that should be eliminated
B. It's a useful mechanism that can be controlled
C. It's only beneficial for professionals like snipers
D. It's mainly problematic in social situations
4. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain the biological basis of stress response
B. To compare different types of threat reactions
C. To introduce a misunderstood stress response and its value
D. To promote specific breathing techniques for stress control
When I first started traveling, my dad asked me what I was running away from. Another time, a friend told me to stop running away from my problems and to start living life. 1 This common assumption fails to understand the true essence of exploration. What if we're not running from something, but rather toward something much greater
2 It's about escaping the predefined roles and expectations that society imposes on us. The conventional path—graduate, work, marry, retire—feels like a script we're expected to follow without question. 3 This rigidity leaves little room for individual expression or alternative definitions of success.
Many see long-term travelers as irresponsible dreamers avoiding adult responsibilities. 4 We're actively designing lives filled with meaningful experiences and cross-cultural understanding. Every new destination brings lessons in adaptability, resilience, and perspective that traditional education cannot provide.
The world becomes our classroom, and humanity our curriculum. 5 It's about writing our own story rather than living someone else's version of success. The courage to pursue this path often inspires others to reconsider their own choices, even if they lack the bravery to make similar changes themselves.
A. True exploration represents a conscious choice for personal growth
B. This narrow worldview limits our understanding of human potential
C. Such comments reflect society's limited perspective on life choices
D. The real value lies in developing empathy and global consciousness
E. Modern society often equates stability with conformity and compliance
F. However, this journey requires careful planning and financial responsibility
G. Genuine travelers seek not escape but engagement with the world's diversity

答案与解析
阅读A篇
【答案】1.C 2. B 3. C
1.解析: 本题为细节理解题。解题关键在于定位“Qualifications”部分。文中明确说明：“No prior work experience or coursework in conservation or environmental topics is required.”（不需要有保护或环境相关主题的工作经验或课程学习）。同时，项目寻找的是“interested in learning about introductory conservation approaches”（对学习入门级保护方法感兴趣的年轻人）。因此，兴趣（interest） 是核心要求，而A、B、D选项提到的学历、经验和会员身份都是项目不要求（not required） 的。故C选项正确。
2. 解析: 本题为细节理解题。解题关键在于理解表格下方的注释（Note）。注释原文为：“Those who finish all required tasks (whether for the 4-week track or the 8-week track) will be qualified for an additional reward.”（完成所有必需任务（无论是4周还是8周项目）的人将有资格获得额外奖励）。因此，获得额外奖励的唯一条件是完成所有规定任务（finish all required tasks），与项目时长（A选项）、时薪高低（C选项）或方案评比（D选项）无关。故B选项正确。
3. 解析: 本题为主旨大意题。需要综合全文信息判断项目的主要目的。文章开篇指出理解淡水问题的复杂性对可持续生活“至关重要（critical）”，并由此引出该项目。后续“The Experience”部分详细说明的活动——如学习知识、与研究、发现问题、提出解决方案、培养沟通技能——都围绕教育（educate） 年轻人并赋予他们能力（empower） 去理解和应对淡水挑战这一核心。A选项“招募志愿者”和B选项“提供有偿工作”是项目运行的方式和激励手段，而非其根本目的。D选项“发表研究论文”在文中未被提及，项目更侧重于实践应用和社区参与，而非学术输出。C选项最准确地概括了项目的深层目标和宗旨。
阅读B篇
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4.B
1. 解析: 本题为细节理解题。定位第一段第二句："Without thinking, she reached for her phone and refreshed the screen." 关键词"without thinking"（未加思索）表明这是一个无意识的、习惯性的动作。后文她对此行为的反思"how much modern life is consumed by speed"进一步说明这是被快节奏生活裹挟的下意识行为，而非有特定目的。因此C选项"这是一种无意识的习惯"正确。
2. 解析: 本题为人物特点题。第二段描述了她巴黎驻留后的创作变化："used the highest standards of traditional Chinese craftsmanship to bring these ideas to life"（用最高标准的中国传统工艺实现这些想法）与"experimenting with simple geometric forms"（尝试简单的几何形态）相结合。这体现了她将传统工艺（traditional skills）与创新形式（innovative forms）相融合的特点。B选项与文意相反；C、D选项在文中均未体现。
3.解析: 本题为推理判断题。根据第三段华勇自己对展览的描述："bringing a brief mental escape and a moment of relaxation"（带来短暂的精神逃离和片刻放松），以及作品"draw the viewer's mind into a different dimension"（将观众的思绪带入一个不同的维度），可以推断展览旨在提供一个宁静、放松的体验。A、B、D选项的内容均未在文中得到支持。
4. 解析: 本题为主旨大意题。苏丹的评价集中在作品的概念层面："projections of conceptual unrest"（概念性不安的投射），并指出这些作品成为"models of design philosophy: They are short-lived, yet everlasting"（设计哲学的典范：它们是短暂的， yet 永恒的）。这些评论聚焦于作品的艺术哲学和思想深度，而非技术、商业或声誉方面。因此B选项"她艺术的哲学深度"最符合苏丹评论的主旨。

1. 解析: 本题为细节理解题。定位文章第二段开头："Marine biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness." 海洋生物学家明确揭示CCZ庇护着5000多种独特物种。A选项是采矿公司的宣传，不是生物学家的观点；B选项中的"永久破坏"是2013年研究显示的潜在风险，并非既定事实；D选项是采矿公司的宣传语。
2. 解析: 本题为推理判断题。根据第四段最后专家的话："Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated "（为什么要急于开采海洋获取那些正在过时的金属？）结合前文提到电池公司正在回收钴、车企拒绝购买深海金属等事实，可以推断出专家认为没有必要急于进行海洋采矿。A选项中的"采矿技术过时"文中未提及；C选项"转向其他金属"过度推断；D选项与文中95%回收率的事实矛盾。
3. 解析: 本题为段落大意题。第四段通过多个角度质疑深海钴矿的经济价值：电池技术中钴的重要性不确定、电池回收技术的发展、车企拒绝购买深海金属、专家质疑金属过时等，都是在质疑深海钴矿开采的经济合理性。A选项是第三段的内容；C、D选项只是段落中的具体例子，不能概括段落主旨。
4. 解析: 本题为主旨大意题。全文围绕深海采矿的争议展开：一方面是多金属结核的经济价值（解决气候变化、提供电动汽车材料），另一方面是对深海生态系统的破坏风险（5000多种物种、生物多样性丧失、永久破坏）。文章通过呈现正反两方面的观点和事实，展现了资源开发与生态保护之间的冲突。B选项"技术进步"只是文中提到的细节；C选项"国际合作"不全面；D选项只体现了其中一个方面。

【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. C
1. 解析: 本题为词义猜测题。定位第三段最后一句："Freezing acts like an emergency flow state: watchful, not petrified." 此处"watchful"（警惕的）与"petrified"通过"not"形成对比关系。结合前文教授的观点：冻结不是系统关闭，而是帮助"获得更多信息、准备行动、提升感知和决策"，说明这是一种积极警觉的状态。因此"petrified"应表示与之相反的"因恐惧而僵住"的状态。B选项"极度恐惧和瘫痪"最符合此意。
2. 解析: 本题为推理判断题。根据第三段教授的话："Many people think that freezing is a kind of shutdown of the system"（很多人认为冻结是系统的一种关闭）。这表明公众普遍误解冻结反应是彻底的机能 shutdown，而研究证明这实际上是一个信息收集和准备的过程。A、B、D选项的内容在文中均未明确提及。
3. 解析: 本题为观点态度题。通过全文可以看出作者对冻结反应持积极态度：第二段解释其生理机制，第三段引用专家观点说明其积极作用，第四段强调"可以被训练"，最后一段提供具体的控制方法。特别是最后一句"你可以掌握它"明确表达了作者认为这是一个可控制的有用机制的观点。A选项与文意相反；C选项过于绝对；D选项只反映了部分内容。
4. 解析: 本题为主旨大意题。文章通过解释冻结反应的生理机制（第一、二段），纠正公众误解（第三段），说明其可训练性和实用性（第四段），直到最后给出具体应用建议（第五段），全面介绍了这种被误解的压力反应及其价值。A选项只是部分内容；B选项中的比较不是文章重点；D选项中的呼吸技巧只是最后提到的具体方法之一。
阅读七选五
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. E 4. G 5. D
1. 解析: 此题位于首段中间。空前提到父亲和朋友对旅行动机的质疑，空后提出反问"如果我们不是逃避，而是追求更伟大的东西呢？"因此需要填入一个能承接他人质疑、引出下文新观点的过渡句。C选项"这样的评论反映了社会对人生选择的局限看法"完美衔接了具体事例与下文要展开的深层讨论。
2. 解析: 此题位于第二段段首。空后具体说明"逃避社会强加的角色和期望"，因此段首需要一个总领句来定义旅行的本质。A选项"真正的探索代表着对个人成长的主动选择"从更高维度概括了旅行的意义，与后文的"逃避 predefined roles"形成呼应，且比原题的选项更具深度。
3. 解析: 此题位于第二段中间。前文提到传统路径像"不容质疑的剧本"，后文说"这种僵化几乎不给个人表达留空间"。此处需要解释为什么传统路径会变得如此僵化。E选项"现代社会常常将稳定与顺从和服从等同起来"深刻揭示了现象背后的社会观念根源，解释了前文并引出后文。
4. 解析: 此题位于第三段中间。前文是他人的误解（逃避责任），后文是作者的正面回应（积极设计人生）。需要填入一个转折句来直接反驳前文观点。G选项"真正的旅行者寻求的不是逃避，而是与世界多样性的接触"用"not...but..."的强烈对比结构完美实现了观点转折，与后文形成顺畅衔接。
5. 解析: 此题位于末段段中。前文说"世界成为课堂，人性成为课程"，后文讨论"书写自己的故事"。需要填入一个具体解释"课程价值"的句子。D选项"真正的价值在于培养共情能力和全球意识"恰当地阐述了从这个世界课堂中学到的具体内容，承上启下。

One quiet afternoon in France in her studio, wood crafting (木工技艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and refreshed the screen. At that very moment, she realized how much modern life is consumed by speed. “We are completely swept up by the fast pace of life,” she said. “It's becoming harder to find time to unwind among the everyday chaos of life.”
Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a Sino-French crafts exchange program, spent two months in Paris last year, a rare stretch of uninterrupted time that allowed her to reflect on the act of creation. She began experimenting with simple geometric ( 几 何 的 forms, repeating them to create visual effects that seemed to go beyond time and space. "I thought about how to create something new from nothing, and used the highest standards of traditional Chinese craftsmanship to bring these ideas to life,” she said.
"Wood crafting requires the investment of time," she noted. Her exhibition Changing the World in Silence at Yishu 8,an art platform in Beijing, marked the highlight of a year's reflection. Running through mid-June, the show featured 25.pieces,11 of which were created after her Paris residency. Among the works was a vortex-like( 漩 涡 状 的 )table, which drew the viewer's mind into a different dimension. “We hope all the crafts here quietly accompany the viewers, bringing a brief mental escape and a moment of relaxation, "described Hua.
“The changes in her work's form between movement and stillness are projections of conceptual unrest,” said Su Dan, the artistic director of Hand of Wisdom, observing Hua's shift since her return. “She has long engaged with Chinese traditional materials and been constantly thinking. Works created in such a state of reflection become models of design philosophy: They are short-lived, yet everlasting.”
24.Why did Hua Yong reach for her phone in Paragraph 1
A. She felt like taking a photo.
B. She tried to have a rest among chaos.
C. She intended to make a call.
D. She had formed the habitual behavior.
25.What change did Hua Yong make after her Paris residency
A. She integrated Sino-French wood crafts.
B. She applied geometric shapes creatively.
C. She shifted to rare and simple materials.
D. She adopted digital techniques flexibly.
26.What do we know about the works in Changing the World in Silence
A. They relied hardly on handwork.
B. They mirrored the rush of modern life.
C. They featured mental relaxation,
D. They were well-appreciated by viewers.
27.What does Su Dan imply about Hua Yong
A. She underwent life unrest in Paris.
B. She deserted wood craft traditions.
C. Her works turn out the best models.
D. Her works project a consistent idea.
Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt（钻）. Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and“ the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.
Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure, Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area.
Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority(ISA)is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots,437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop. ISA studies confirm that just 10%mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50%of its species.
Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are“ completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the. switch, recycling up to 95%of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated ” said battery expert Gavin Harper.
On June 8,21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining's impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I'm trying to get the best environmental data. And then it's up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”
28.Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”
A. They contain valuable metals.
B. They have recharging qualities.
C. They own battery-like structure.
D. They generate renewable power.
29.What can be inferred about the ISA
A. It prioritizes economic interests.
B. It is guarded about seabed mining.
C. It opposes commercial operations.
D. It requires more technical support.
30.What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4
A. Deep-sea mining meets demands.
B. Carmakers reuse battery materials.
C. Battery recycling needs promoting.
D. Sea-bed mining for cobalt can wait.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Marine Mining,a Green Solution
B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries
C. Ocean Metals,an Ocean Risk
D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown
Have you ever felt so stressed that you just sort of froze Your body goes still, you can't feel much but, at the same time, your senses are working overtime. You know you must act soon; but it's as if something is stopping you. This “freezing”, or tonic immobility in academic terms, is an adaptive defense response to stress or danger.
When we freeze, our heart rate drops and our blood pressure changes. Our pupils might become wider. A flood of hormones (荷尔蒙) spread quickly, readying us for action. It can all happen within seconds.
While fight-or-flight seems logical for survival, freezing appears counterproductive --- potentially too much to handle, making us incapable of acting or making a decision. But is that really all that's going on Not according to Prof Karin Roelofs, a neuroscientist who studies freezing at Radboud University. “Many people think that freezing is a kind of shutdown of the system,” she says. “What we actually find is that in threatening situations, freezing actually helps gain more information, prepare actions, and improve perception and decision making.” Freezing acts like an emergency flow state: watchful, not petrified.
Importantly, this response can be trained. Roelofs highlights two groups controlling freezing: living statues, street performers maintaining extreme stillness and snipers (狙击手) requiring absolute stillness while making decisions. Lab research confirms this. A virtual reality shooting game showed players with stronger freezing responses performed better and decided faster. Freezing doesn't slow responses. “Brain noise reduces. Perception increases. You make better decisions faster,” Roelofs clarifies.
But let's say you're not a sniper, or don't spend your weekends as a living statue. What if you're about to take an exam or lead a big business meeting Those situations involving social pressure, may not be life or death, but still can cause freezing. The key is to use this response through training, particularly focused breathing: maintain slow, rhythmic exhalation (有节奏的呼气).Instead of feeling out of control, you can master it and—sniper or not—take your best shot.
32.What happens in “freezing” according to the text
A. Awareness is lost.
B. The heart pounds.
C. Senses are sharper.
D. The breath quickens.
33.What does the underlined word “petrified” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Confused. B. Panicked.
C. Distressed. D. Occupied.
34. Why are living statues and snipers mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To contrast response types.
B. To illustrate freezing causes.
C. To support response training.
D. To criticize stressful professions.
35.How should students manage exam freezing according to the text
A. Seek professional help,
B. Apply trained breathing.
C. Hold breath to stay still,
D. Make last-minute revisions.
When I first started traveling, my dad asked me what I was running away from. Another time, a friend told me to stop running away from my problems and to start living life. I’m not sure why. 36 We are running away from responsibilities, challenges, and ultimately, maturity itself. People think we are all just Peter Pans refusing to be “adults”. And to all those people, I say: you are right.
37 I’m running away from office life, commutes (通勤), weekend duties, and the strict path society has laid out as “normal”. I’m running away because I want to experience every culture, see every mountain, eat different food, attend crazy festivals, meet new people, and enjoy different holidays around the world. I want to construct a life that makes me happy.
In our society, the accepted path is long and narrow: you go to college, get a job, get married, buy a house, have two or three children, raise them, and then retire. Only then, after you've put in your time, can you enjoy the fruits of your labor. 38 And any deviation (偏差) is considered abnormal and strange.
For me, those who travel the world aren't running away from life. 39 They are exploring the world and living on their own terms. They have a degree of freedom a lot of people will never experience. They get to be the captains of their-own ships.
People may tell you they envy what you do, and say they wish they could travel like you. But they never do. Few people have the courage to take the risk. But life is what you make it out to be. Life is yours to create. 40 So I'm not running away. I am just going after my own life. And I never plan to look back.
Traveling is something everyone should do.
Responsible people don't just travel forever.
On the contrary, they are running toward true living.
If you really want something, you have to go after it.
E. I’m running away from people's fixed idea of the “real” world.
F. But there is this perception that travelers must be escaping something.
G. Society boxes you in and restricts your movements to their expectations.
Marcus was the type of person who never raised his hand, rarely made eye contact, and left the room the second the bell rang. Naturally, I assumed he was 41 or even rude since I was always sure that I had a good 42 on people.
But everything began to change the day we were 43 up for a group project. When the teacher announced our 44_ together, he looked over and gave me a small 45 . No smile, no greeting, just that. I 46 my eyes, with no expectation to cowork well with him. To my 47 , Marcus came to our first meeting prepared: he had notes, questions and even 48 for how we could divide the work fairly. I couldn't help asking, “Are you always this 49 ” He shrugged (耸肩) and said, “Only when I care.” At that moment, I realized words weren't 50 he often used, but when he did, they 51 .
Over the next two weeks, we worked side by side. He wasn't the person I thought he was. He didn't avoid people; he just didn't know how to 52 . He didn't look down on others; he was just shy. The day we presented our project, he spoke 53 and with surprising humor. After class, when our teacher praised us, I turned to Marcus and said, “I’m glad we got paired up.” He looked down, smiled slightly and replied, “Me too.”
That day I realized how easy it is to misunderstand someone when you don't 54 to look deeper. Since then, I've tried to listen more closely, 55 more slowly, and give people the space to show me who they are.

An Experience of Volunteering
Fourteen-year-old Nathan ran a small stand selling colorful phone cases at the annual community Summer Carnival (嘉年华). While younger kids crowded around other attractions, he focused on his modest business. His real ambition, however, lay beyond this: he dreamed of owning a 3D printer. With it, he could design and create unique pnone cases himself, transforming his small summer job into a proper online business.
One afternoon, a 10-year-old girl named Michele stopped by and bought one phone case for her mom. As they talked, Nathan shared his dream of having a 3D printer. “With that printer, I can print anything in any form," Nathan said. “Anything in any form ” Michele's eyes lit up with sudden excitement. “Once you get it, could you please make a leg for my pet duck Tim Because he was missing one,” Michele said hopefully. “That's a cool project,” Nathan replied. He thought for a minute. “I'll make him one, but it won't be ready now. I have to save up some of the money myself to buy the 3D printer.” “How lucky Tim is! You are so kind!” Michele said happily, unable to contain her excitement.
Before leaving, Michele exchanged phone numbers with Nathan. They discovered that they lived in the same neighborhood, which meant Nathan could easily get close to the duck and measure the size of its leg in person to ensure that a suitable prosthetic ( 假 体 的 ) leg could be made. He promised to reach out as soon as he could afford a printer.
That evening, Nathan told his family about Michele and his promise. His parents praised his kindness and initiative. They agreed to offer some financial support to buy the printer but also emphasized the importance of his own effort. “We're proud you're earning this yourself, Nathan,” his father said. “Saving your share shows real commitment.” Nathan nodded firmly, feeling more determined than ever.
Nathan worked very hard for the 3D printer.
However, creating the leg model was not easy.阅读A篇
