二、阅读理解
The fast pace of Vietnam’s cities combined with the cultural differences can be a lot for travellers to take in. Yet it’s not a difficult place to navigate — as long as you do a bit of forward planning.
Many Vietnamese people speak at least some English. People who work in traveller-facing businesses are likely to speak a decent level of English. Wherever you go, locals will appreciate you making the effort to learn a few basic phrases in Vietnamese — translation apps help a lot, too.
Joining the locals at road-side restaurants or stands is one of the country’s great joys. The cleanliness of street stands can be a worry, but most visitors don’t experience any major problems as long as they stick to some general principles. Choose stands that are busy, which guarantees turnover of ingredients. Ice in drinks is usually made from bottled water, but salads can be washed in tap water so are best avoided.
Vietnam is a splendid motorbike touring country, but longer journeys are best left to skilful drivers. It’s very easy to hire motorbikes, even without any paperwork, but legally you need an international driving permit. Travellers often get stopped by the police and fined for not having the correct documents.
Vietnamese people dress conservatively, with both men and women generally covering their shoulders and knees regardless of the heat. Public outbursts or arguments should be avoided at all costs. Saving face is a powerful concept here, and losing your cool in public is considered extremely embarrassing for everyone.
21．Which principle is highlighted concerning food safety
A．Mixing fresh ingredients. B．Choosing recognized food.
C．Drinking tap water. D．Washing green vegetables.
22．What is essential when touring Vietnam by motorcycle
A．A universal driving license. B．A translation application.
C．Learning from a skilful driver. D．Applying for a parking permit.
23．What cultural sensitivities should travellers be aware of
A．Keeping one’s temper at home. B．Dressing appropriately in public.
C．Speaking Vietnamese with the locals. D．Criticizing the street food online.
In the 7th grade during cultural week, the teacher asked us to talk about what makes our heritage special. I thought my answer would be simple. I’ve always told people that I’m half Peruvian and half Bolivian. It was quite different from my classmates who proudly answered that they were 100% Colombian or Venezuelan. When asked to talk about how I embrace my cultural identity, I began to feel stuck. I have lived in Florida my entire life. English is my primary language and my Spanish, as a poet beautifully explained in a poem, “is a phantom limb (幻肢): reaching for a word and only finding air.”
When I reflected on how I grew up, the only difference was in the background details. Since I was born, we’d traveled to visit my parents’ hometowns at least once a year. One thing that always stood out to me was how mirrored my mom and dad’s families were. They each had the stereotypical, sizeable families consisting of many relatives which I perceived as a great contrast to my four-membered family.
Their lifestyle was unforgettable and impressive. My two aunts would spend most of the day in the kitchen preparing full-course meals. In Peru it was no different, my grandmother basically lived in the kitchen, making sure every family member had their preferred plate. Sunday is the dedicated family day when everyone comes together for lunch, with no uncle, great-aunt, or distant cousin ever being a stranger.
If further down in my school career I get asked about my cultural identity, I would know. I would reflect the Peruvian-Bolivian heritage that makes up who I am through my family who live in faraway countries. My cultural experience has driven me to be proud of the heritage. My cultural identity is a huge part of who I am today.
24．What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 1
A．He dismissed self-identity crisis. B．He was proud of her culture.
C．He spoke poor Spanish. D．His friends were mostly mixed-race.
25．What is the difference between the author’s family and his parents’ families
A．The economical lifestyle. B．The household size.
C．The educational background. D．The eating habits.
26．What possibly impressed the author most about his parents’ families
A．The emphasis on family values. B．The habit of living in the kitchen.
C．The preference for Peruvian food. D．The passion for festive gatherings.
27．What shapes the author’s cultural identity
A．The pride in his heritage. B．The heritage in his hometown.
C．The experience in the school. D．The effect from his family.
Blind boxes are probabilistic products, which are products that allow consumers to purchase one of a set of products at random under specific conditions.
B．F. Skinner, a famous American psychologist, who believes that human behavior is mastered by external factors. If the external stimulus (刺激物) is favorable to the person, the behavior will be repeated. The randomness of the blind box inspires consumers to buy, and for the buyer, the purchase of the blind box gains inner satisfaction. It is this unique experience that stimulates repeated purchases and thus addiction.
The blind box market is popular with the “Generation Z” crowd. Most of them are only children, with strong loneliness and a desire for a sense of belonging. According to a survey, 57% of Gen Z said they “have to have what others have and don’t want to be disliked by their peers”. The group of trendy players shares emotions, thus establishing more connections and boosting the identity of the group. Blind boxes can soften the awkwardness of interactions in social situations as they are integrated into people’s daily lives.
Probabilistic selling can be used as a tool to clearly identify target consumers and their needs. It seemed that Pop Mart’s popularity was an overnight success, but its first store opened in Beijing in 2010. Ever since, it has been exploring and upgrading the products through blind box marketing, finding the most popular items, to figure out product packages that suit the company’ s sales strategies and make the company more and more welcomed by the market.
While trying to stimulate consumption demand with such marketing, companies should be aware of the hidden risks. Blind box sellers should not hold the surprise tricks as a way to fool consumers, nor randomly include products in blind boxes. Consumers may not return for repeat purchases if they feel cheated once. Also, the knowledge of how to plan blind box combinations and how to sell them is critical. Once the wave of blind boxes subsides, a company without good products may never be able to catch the next wave.
28．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The buyers’ attempt to gain inner satisfaction. B．The official definition of random purchase.
C．The external factors about repetitive behavior. D．The psychological mechanism behind blind boxes.
29．What do the blind boxes function as in the “Generation Z” crowd
A．The social tools. B．The emotional cues.
C．The confidence boosters. D．The financial indicators.
30．What is the key to Pop Mart’s success
A．The cautious planning of production. B．The ongoing upgrade of sales strategies.
C．The interaction with target consumers. D．The sharp insight into the market.
31．How can blind box sellers survive in the market
A．Publicizing the company to earn reputation. B．Using surprise tricks to attract consumers.
C．Providing solid products that deliver value. D．Avoiding the hidden risks of false advertising.
The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve (进化), thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research.
More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. After their extinction, the forests grew back thicker, seeds and fruits increased substantially in size.
Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. The trees that moved farther away from their mother trees were very delighted because they didn’t have to put up with the same diseases that their mothers had. That’s an evolutionary incentive.
However, there hasn’t been much evidence to support this theory. To address this, the research team created a model where seed and fruit size increased as a response to the darker forest understory that followed dinosaur extinction. The data suggested about 35 million years ago, seeds started getting smaller, because land animals had once again become sufficiently large to have a similar effect on the forests.
“The evolutionary pressure for seed size to increase began to decline. Thus, we were able to explain the trends in seed size over time without considering external influences such as climate change,” Researchers said.
Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones.
32．What contributed to the smaller seed sizes before dinosaurs’ extinction
A．Enormous trees. B．Sufficient light. C．Animals’ intake. D．Climate change.
33．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “incentive” in paragraph 3
A．Origin. B．Proof. C．Characteristic. D．Motivation.
34．What may influence the fruit size in modern society
A．The evolutionary pressure. B．The selective lighting system.
C．The continuous deforestation. D．The genetically engineered seeds.
35．What is the best title of the passage
A．Dinosaurs: The Ecosystem Engineers. B．Humans: The Modern-Day Dinosaurs.
C．Love fruit Thank Dinosaur Mass Extinction. D．Feel surprised Dinosaurs Shaped Fruit Diversity.
I’ve been practising the art of detachment (超脱) for at least a year now. The aim is to be actively involved in life but less attached.
Life is a series of experiences: a combination of states we go through. Where people fail is that they get attached to a state of transition and define their lives by it. They get attached to how things should be. If life doesn’t match their expectations, they get frustrated, angry, depressed and even lost. 36 .
Detachment doesn’t mean withdrawing from life. It’s showing up with your whole self without needing to control the outcome. Psychologists talk about “secure attachment” versus “anxious attachment.” The first one allows you to connect while maintaining independence. 37 . Anxious attachment creates suffering because it ties your happiness to something external. Detachment frees you to find peace within.
Holding on to people, outcomes, ideas, mental states, beliefs, or an emotional state feels safe. 38 .Because when you hold onto people or things, you attach your mood, expectations and fears to them. But everything is in transition. Adapt when things change.
39 . It’s a tricky balance. But it works in your favour. That’s another truth I’ve learned. Life happens for its own reasons, not always for yours. People leave. Plans fall apart. Pain comes. None of it is about you. Life doesn’t happen to punish or reward you. It just happens. What you do with it is what matters. 40 . The more you let go, the more you can actually enjoy life. Life isn’t happening to you. It’s happening through you. Let it.
A．It’s a healthier way to live.
B．That’s the pain of attachment.
C．Take life seriously, but don’t take it personally.
D．But it can also be your undoing or your suffering.
E．Your journey is about being deeply involved in life.
F．It means feeling everything without letting it define you.
G．Holding onto nothing is how you transition through the realities unfolding.

四、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
This month, the National Museum of Classic Books delighted visitors with its immersive (沉浸式的) mystery game. In this engaging experience, players take on the role of a skilled ancient book 56 (restore).Guided by detailed instructions, they uncover clues 57 (hide) in the classic books and piece together puzzles to solve the mystery.
The game was developed by Puzzle Master, a Chinese tech company. “Each game we design reflects the unique character of the museum it’s created for, encouraging a 58 (deep), more interactive exploration,” explained Dai, the founder of Puzzle Master.
In cooperation 59 the Fujian Provincial Archives (档案馆), the company developed a game centered around “qiaopi” — a term in the Min dialect 60 (refer) to family letters sent by overseas Chinese through unofficial channels. These letters offer rare historical insights into the lives of Chinese migrants.
“ 61 (perfect) it, we conduct at least three rounds of field testing before launching a game,” Dai said. These tests gather feedback from 62 (experience) players, exhibition planners, and museum staff to ensure a well-rounded and polished final product.
A young girl, after playing a game about archive preservation, told Dai the game had changed 63 she viewed archives — not only collections of old documents, 64 living memories passed down through generations. “I believe education is about stimulating curiosity. Once the curiosity is lit, young people 65 (seek) knowledge and understanding on their own naturally,” Dai said.

六、书面表达
67．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。
I grew up in the country in South Carolina. Even though I was an only child, I had a wonderful time playing with my dog, Chubby. When I was ten years old, my Daddy brought this little white, furry puppy home for me. He was a Collie. I named him Chubby. We were perfect playmates.
There was a stream that ran through the back of our property. The water was not very deep, but it moved very fast. Past our house, about a mile downstream, the water flowed quickly over a waterfall.
From the time my Collie was a little guy, he loved to swim with me. After he grew into a large dog, he and I had a game we played when we swam in the stream. I would swim away from him and pretend that I was in trouble and about to drown. I would yell, “Help, Chubby” and flap (拍打) around in the water. He would swim to me very fast, grab my swim suit belt, and pull with all his might to get me out of the water. I would pet him, and praise him for “saving my life”.
One hot summer day after school, I put on my swim suit and headed down to the stream for a swim. I looked around for my Collie dog, but I didn’t see him anywhere. I decided to leave him alone, and just go by myself.
This particular day, the water felt so nice and cool, but it was running much faster than usual. I would let the water just take me downstream for a short distance, and then I would swim hard to get back upstream again. I would do that over and over, and it was a lot of fun. After a while, I began to get very tired, and it got harder and harder for me to swim back upstream. I began to think that maybe this was not a great idea to go swimming after all, especially without my dog, Chubby.
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。
Suddenly I realized that I was swimming too far downstream.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chubby jumped in. I could see him swimming very fast toward me.

17．B 18．A 19．B 20．C
【原文】
As a game designer, I’m largely concerned with the visual material so my background is also quite artistic. I have a degree in art and design. I did courses in painting and drawing at university. But as you’d expect I also did one in computer graphics. I’ve worked on many great games. Purple Moon was my first big challenge and I had a key role in Defending Planet X. But the one I got the most out of was Star City because I was working on creating a multiplayer experience. The most demanding aspect of a game, however, is hitting the right level of difficulty. You want the game to be hard enough to reward people who are skillful but not so hard that people become frustrated and stop playing. What does it take to be a game designer You need creativity to have a vision to see what will make a game fun. You need communication to express that vision to others and influence them. And above all, you need devotion to make your vision of reality to work your way through the disappointments and failures.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究指出，恐龙灭绝后森林变密、光照竞争加剧，促使果实和种子变大以利传播；人类活动现正扮演类似“生态系统工程师”角色，再度影响种子演化方向。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段“More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation.(6600多万年前，当世界上还有这些生态系统工程师的时候，它们通过砍伐树木和吃掉大量的植被，极大地改变了环境)”及第三段“Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start.(研究人员认为，这是因为在茂密的森林中，对光线的竞争刺激了树木长得更高更快，而从更大的种子生长出来的树木有一个良好的开端)”可知，恐龙灭绝后，森林变得茂密，对光线的竞争刺激树木长出更大的种子。与此相反，恐龙灭绝前，吃掉或破坏掉大量的树木，森林变得稀疏，光线充足，会导致植物竞争压力减小，种子变小。故选B项。
33．词句猜测题。根据第三段即划线词上文第三段“Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. (研究人员认为，这是因为在茂密的森林中，对光线的竞争刺激了树木长得更高更快，而从更大的种子生长出来的树木有一个良好的开端。此外还有一个好处，投资丰富且美味的果实还能提高它们被大型动物消化和散播的概率)”可知，此处在解释森林茂密对光线的竞争对植物进化的一种推动和刺激。motivation的动词motivate与上文stimulate意思相近。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones.(谁是最近代的影响种子和水果大小的人？人类。在人类定居导致选择性采伐的地方，林下植被的光照水平与恐龙林相似。然而，如果人类不再扮演恐龙的角色，而不是被其他巨型工程师所取代，我们可以预期森林将会变暗，随之而来的是光的竞赛重新开始，大种子的进化将重新获得比小种子更大的优势)”可知，近代，人类持续地对森林的砍伐破坏影响森林，从而影响种子的大小。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve (进化), thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research.(一项最新研究表明，地球上最大恐龙的灭绝可能在创造有利于水果进化的环境方面发挥了关键作用，从而间接影响了我们吃水果的祖先的进化)”并纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了恐龙及现代人类对森林的破坏影响了水果的大小，尤其曾经由于恐龙的原因促使植物长出更大的果实。本文中dinosaur和seed and fruit size是关键词。故选C项。

【导语】本文是说明文，作者分享践行超脱的感悟，指出过度依恋易致痛苦，说明超脱非脱离生活，而是积极参与且不执念结果，助人们享受生活。
36．由上文“If life doesn’t match their expectations, they get frustrated, angry, depressed and even lost.(如果生活不符合他们的期望，他们就会感到沮丧、愤怒、抑郁，甚至迷茫。)”可知，前文描述了“过度依恋期望”带来的负面情绪，空格处需总结这种负面状态的本质。B项“That’s the pain of attachment.(这就是依恋带来的痛苦。)”符合语境，That指代上文“沮丧、愤怒”等负面感受，“the pain of attachment”直接点出“过度依恋”的危害，承接前文对“人们失败于依恋”的论述，承上启下。故选B项。
37．由上文“Psychologists talk about “secure attachment” versus “anxious attachment.” The first one allows you to connect while maintaining independence.(心理学家谈到“安全型依恋”与“焦虑型依恋”。前者让你在保持独立的同时建立联结。)”和下文“Anxious attachment creates suffering because it ties your happiness to something external. Detachment frees you to find peace within.(焦虑的依恋会带来痛苦，因为它将你的幸福与外在的东西联系在一起。超然让你找到内心的平静。)”可知，空格处需评价“安全型依恋”的积极意义。A项“It’s a healthier way to live.(这是一种更健康的生活方式。)”符合语境，It指代上文“secure attachment”，“healthier way to live”与下文“anxious attachment creates suffering”形成对比，凸显“安全型依恋”的优势，逻辑连贯。故选A项。
38．由上文“Holding on to people, outcomes, ideas, mental states, beliefs, or an emotional state feels safe.(执着于人、结果、想法、精神状态、信仰或情绪状态，会让人感到安全。)”和下文“Because when you hold onto people or things, you attach your mood, expectations and fears to them.(因为当你执着于他人或事物时，你会把自己的情绪、期望和恐惧都依附于它们。)”可知，空格处需转折说明“执着”的潜在问题。D项“But it can also be your undoing or your suffering.(但它也可能成为你的败因或痛苦的根源。)”符合语境，But表转折，承接前文“感觉安全”，“undoing or your suffering”引出下文“依附情绪导致痛苦”的原因，衔接自然。故选D项。
39．由下文“It’s a tricky balance. But it works in your favour. That’s another truth I’ve learned. Life happens for its own reasons, not always for yours. People leave. Plans fall apart. Pain comes. None of it is about you. Life doesn’t happen to punish or reward you. It just happens. What you do with it is what matters.(这是一种微妙的平衡。但这对你有利。这是我学到的另一个真理。生活有其自身的原因，并不总是出于你的原因。人们离开。计划失败了。痛苦来了。这一切都与你无关。生活不会惩罚或奖励你。它只是发生。你用它做什么才是最重要的。)”可知，空格处需提出“对待生活的正确态度”。C项“Take life seriously, but don’t take it personally.(认真对待生活，但不要太往心里去。)”符合语境，“Take life seriously”对应“积极参与生活”，“don’t take it personally”呼应下文“生活的发生不是为了惩罚或奖励你”，准确概括“微妙平衡”的内涵，作为段落总起句恰当。故选C项。
40．由上文“What you do with it is what matters.(你如何应对才是关键。)”和下文“The more you let go, the more you can actually enjoy life.(你越释怀，就越能真正享受生活。)”可知，空格处需说明“释怀”与“经历生活”的关系。G项“Holding onto nothing is how you transition through the realities unfolding.(不执着于任何事物，才能在不断展开的现实中前行。)”符合语境，“Holding onto nothing”即“释怀”，“transition through the realities unfolding”承接上文“应对生活”，与下文“越释怀越享受生活”呼应，逻辑清晰。故选G项。

66．Dear Manager,
I am Li Hua, a student from the local community. I am writing to propose a volunteer initiative called “Happy English Corner” and kindly seek your permission and support to carry it out at your nursing home.
Our activity is scheduled to take place every Saturday afternoon, aiming to bring enjoyable and engaging experiences to the elderly. During these sessions, we plan to teach the elderly some simple daily English expressions, sing classic English songs together, and share interesting news or stories in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
We would be truly grateful if you could allow us to run this program and provide any necessary support. We believe this activity would not only help the elderly learn something new but also offer them companionship and warmth. Looking forward to your kind reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．Suddenly I realized that I was swimming too far downstream. The current was dragging me relentlessly toward the roaring waterfall, and my exhausted limbs could no longer fight against the powerful flow. Panic surged through me as the sound of the falls grew louder, echoing in my ears. I struggled to keep my head above water, gasping for air. In a moment of desperation, I screamed, “Help, Chubby!” with all my strength. All of a sudden, I saw Chubby running very fast along the river and rushed towards me!
Chubby jumped in. I could see him swimming very fast toward me. His fur glistening in the sunlight, he cut through the turbulent water with determined strokes. Within moments, he reached my side, just like our usual games, firmly grabbing the belt of my swimsuit. He pulled with all his might, towing me against the current. Once on shore, I collapsed, breathing heavily, and wrapped my arms around his wet, furry neck. “You really saved me, Chubby,” I whispered, tears of relief streaming down my face. From that day on, I never underestimated the dangers of the stream or the unwavering loyalty of my brave companion.
