Sanding on the shore of a lake, I can’t help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.
And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks
Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock. I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
But I’m not a rock. I’m a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can.” But the guy tried to argue about the note.
I sat watching. understanding both sides. I’ve been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others’ eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view.
I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.
24. What does the author compare the rocks to
A. People with varied personalities.
B. DNA unique to each person.
C. Challenges that we come across.
D. Our abilities that grows with time.
25. What caused the argument in the restaurant
A. Lack of clarity in the sign.
B. The owner’s inappropriate attitude.
C. Demanding restaurant requests.
D. The guy’s failing to obey the rules.
26. Which best describes the author’s attitude toward the world when he was young
A. Respectful. B. Aggressive. C. Ambiguous. D. Tolerant.
27. What does the author try to convey through this text
A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions.
B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life.
C. It’s necessary to obey the rules in public spaces.
D. Being open and understanding brings satisfaction.
C
Plastic is everywhere, from the Arctic ice to vital organs in the human body. In fact, previous estimates suggest that the average person swallows a credit card-worth of microscopic plastic particles(颗粒) every week. But new research shows that this could actually be an understatement.
Microplastics are plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, found in industrial waste, beauty products, and formed during the degradation of larger plastic pieces. Over time, they break down into even smaller nanoplastics. These tiny particles can pass through our intestines and lungs into our bloodstreams, reaching vital organs like the heart and brain.
While the idea of eating plastic is unsettling in itself, the major concern here is that these plastic particles contain chemicals that can interrupt our body’s natural release of hormones, potentially increasing our risk of reproductive disorders and certain cancers. They can also carry toxins(毒素) on their surface like heavy metals.
In the past, researchers have shown bottled water can contain tens of thousands of identifiable plastic fragments in a single container. However, until recently, only the larger microplastics were detectable with available measuring tools, leaving the area of nanoplastics largely a mystery.
Using Raman microscopy (显微镜学), capable of detecting particles down to the size of a flu virus, the team measured an average of 240, 000 particles of plastic per liter of bottled water, 90 percent of which were nanoplastics, a revelation 10 to 100 times larger than previous estimates.
These plastics likely originate from the bottle material, filters used to “purify” the water, and the source water itself. “It is not totally unexpected to find so much of this stuff, ” the study’s lead author, Columbia graduate student Naixin Qian, said in a statement. His team hopes to expand their research into tap water and other water sources to better inform our exposure to these potentially dangerous particles. “The idea is that the smaller things get, the more of them I reveal, ” he added.
28. What is the primary focus of the new research
A. The presence of plastic particles. B. The use of plastic in everyday products.
C. The detection methods for microplastics. D. The potential risks of nanoplastics to human.
29. What is the advantage of Raman microscopy
A. Finding the source of plastic particles. B. Helping to cure the deadly flu virus.
C. Detecting the smaller plastic particles. D. Improving the quality of bottled water.
30. Why will the team expand their research into tap water
A. To focus on areas with higher plastic pollution.
B. To be aware of the dangerous particles in daily life.
C. To further measure the types of particles in tap water.
D. To detect the smaller plastic particles in industrial areas.
31. What is Qian’s attitude towards his research
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Conservative. D. Positive.
D
What makes people so special Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as exclusively human exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.
Among the invertebrates (无脊椎动物), octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social-group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.
Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families — grandmother, mother, and daughter — all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.
32. The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they _____.
A. are not easy to fool B. prefer fruit to vegetables
C. have a special taste for food D. have an awareness of equality
33. What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins
A. Social interaction. B. Intelligence.
C. Tool using ability. D. Fun-loving spirits.
34. What makes dolphin culture special
A. They tend to hunt in groups.
B. Their hunting skills are passed down.
C. Their learning environment is favourable.
D. Their families are typically female-controlled.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.
B. Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human baby.
C. Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced non-human species.
D. Dolphins’ ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental skill.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The easiest way to love yourself is to treat yourself like your own BFF. It might seem like it’s easier to love others than to love yourself, but it’s tough to build healthy relationships if you don’t love yourself first. ___36___
Let go of negative thoughts about yourself. Drill down to the core of those thoughts and tell yourself a different story. Think about what you would say to a friend who said those things about themselves. For example if you forgot to buy trash bags, instead of blaming yourself, you might as well think, “I’ll just pick some up next time I go out — no big deal.” Don’t try to fight negative thoughts, though — they’re a part of who you are. ____37____ It might feel weird at first, but after a while, it becomes habitual to think that way.
Accept your flaws as part of who you are. Everything you’ve done and everywhere you’ve been is a part of who you are — you! Self-love isn’t about fixing all the “bad” things about yourself. Instead, accept that they’re all parts of the same whole. _____38_____ For example, maybe you have a hard time trusting people. You wish you could be more trusting and open up more, but instead of trying to change, focus on how not immediately trusting people helps keep you safe.
_____39_____ If you expect yourself to be perfect all the time, you’ll never be pleased with anything you produce. So make it a point to appreciate the work you put into completing a task, rather than looking for flaws in what you produced. Avoid stereotypical ideas and images of perfection, such as models in beauty magazines. Remind yourself that the actual person probably doesn’t look like that in real life!
Practice gratitude for good things rather than focusing on the negative. It’s human nature to see negative things as bigger and more important than positive things, but this also does tremendous damage to your self-esteem. _____40_____ Look for the positive side even when bad things happen to you. For example, if you lose your job, it can be easy to spiral into thinking that you were terrible at your job and no one will ever hire you again. Instead, you might think that now you have the opportunity to find something that’s a better fit for you.
A. Focus on your effort rather than the result to control perfectionism.
B. Challenge those thoughts with logical observations to reframe your conclusion.
C. Instead, you can simply drown them out with more positive, affirmative thoughts.
D. When you love yourself, you love all of you because you wouldn’t have the good without the bad.
E. Here are some strategies that can help you embark on a journey of treating yourself with kindness.
F. Negative thoughts often come from outside people whose opinions we value.
G. When you focus on the negative, try to name some things that you can be grateful for.

77. 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 have been blessed by many act s of kindness throughout my life. But the one that stands out the most was the one that happened at the blacksmith (铁匠) shop at Old Sturbridge Village.
When my son was little, it was very clear to me that there was something different about him. After countless trips to different specialists and the completion of extensive testing, a diagnosis of a particular chromosomal (染色体的) disorder was made. He was constantly in motion and had no sense of danger, requiring his caregivers watch his every move to prevent him from running away or heading into traffic. He also loved strangers, thinking that everyone was his potential best friend. He greeted everyone with a hug.
However, no one was willing to accept my son’s well-intended embrace, especially given that he looked much older than his actual age yet acted much younger. Although my son was still too young to recognize when he was being rejected, every hurtful word, unkind refusal, or look of pity broke my heart. I had started to be afraid of taking him out in public.
One day, at the village, I walked around holding my son’s hand, ready to protect him from being hurt. As we strolled along, we passed by a blacksmith shop. The rhythmic pounding of the hammer and the sparks that flew in all directions caught my son’s attention. The process of turning seemingly worthless materials into valuable and visually stunning pieces through heating, hammering, and forging (锻造) seemed like magic to him. As the blacksmith paused his work and wiped the sweat from his brow, my son couldn’t contain his curiosity anymore.
He ran straight over to the blacksmith, wrapped his arms around the man’s legs, and asked if he could have a try. My heart stopped at that moment.
I expected that he, like almost everyone else that we had encountered, would push him away, muttering something about this not being possible.
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。
Paragraph 1: What he did next, though, brought me to tears.

【答案】17. C 18. A 19. C 20. C
【原文】The argumentative essay is a very interesting type of essay. The point of an argumentative essay is basically to make an argument. You are not telling the reader about something new or describing anything. Instead, you have to convince them about something. A good argument must be clear and logical. Indeed, many Chinese students find it difficult to write good essays in schools and universities in America. It is not because there is no history of essays in China. Rather, there is a very long history of essays. But they have their own unique features. Primarily, Chinese students are used to the kind of essays that put the writer’s argument at the end. The first several parts introduce the topic or different views. These lead to a turn, which introduces conflict and different aspects. Finally, these are concluded. In America, most teachers like essays that state the conclusion of the argument in the first paragraph. While some people might regard many Chinese students’ essays as badly written, it is important to remember that they are actually written very well according to Chinese style. Therefore, it is essential to point out early how the Western style is different. Once the Chinese students know about the differences, they can easily adapt their writing to the correct cultural context.

Sanding on the shore of a lake, I can’t help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.
And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks
Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock. I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
But I’m not a rock. I’m a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can.” But the guy tried to argue about the note.
I sat watching. understanding both sides. I’ve been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others’ eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view.
I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.
24. What does the author compare the rocks to
A. People with varied personalities.
B. DNA unique to each person.
C. Challenges that we come across.
D. Our abilities that grows with time.
25. What caused the argument in the restaurant
A. Lack of clarity in the sign.
B. The owner’s inappropriate attitude.
C. Demanding restaurant requests.
D. The guy’s failing to obey the rules.
26. Which best describes the author’s attitude toward the world when he was young
A. Respectful. B. Aggressive. C. Ambiguous. D. Tolerant.
27. What does the author try to convey through this text
A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions.
B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life.
C. It’s necessary to obey the rules in public spaces.
D. Being open and understanding brings satisfaction.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. D
C
Plastic is everywhere, from the Arctic ice to vital organs in the human body. In fact, previous estimates suggest that the average person swallows a credit card-worth of microscopic plastic particles(颗粒) every week. But new research shows that this could actually be an understatement.
Microplastics are plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, found in industrial waste, beauty products, and formed during the degradation of larger plastic pieces. Over time, they break down into even smaller nanoplastics. These tiny particles can pass through our intestines and lungs into our bloodstreams, reaching vital organs like the heart and brain.
While the idea of eating plastic is unsettling in itself, the major concern here is that these plastic particles contain chemicals that can interrupt our body’s natural release of hormones, potentially increasing our risk of reproductive disorders and certain cancers. They can also carry toxins(毒素) on their surface like heavy metals.
In the past, researchers have shown bottled water can contain tens of thousands of identifiable plastic fragments in a single container. However, until recently, only the larger microplastics were detectable with available measuring tools, leaving the area of nanoplastics largely a mystery.
Using Raman microscopy (显微镜学), capable of detecting particles down to the size of a flu virus, the team measured an average of 240, 000 particles of plastic per liter of bottled water, 90 percent of which were nanoplastics, a revelation 10 to 100 times larger than previous estimates.
These plastics likely originate from the bottle material, filters used to “purify” the water, and the source water itself. “It is not totally unexpected to find so much of this stuff, ” the study’s lead author, Columbia graduate student Naixin Qian, said in a statement. His team hopes to expand their research into tap water and other water sources to better inform our exposure to these potentially dangerous particles. “The idea is that the smaller things get, the more of them I reveal, ” he added.
28. What is the primary focus of the new research
A. The presence of plastic particles. B. The use of plastic in everyday products.
C. The detection methods for microplastics. D. The potential risks of nanoplastics to human.
29. What is the advantage of Raman microscopy
A. Finding the source of plastic particles. B. Helping to cure the deadly flu virus.
C. Detecting the smaller plastic particles. D. Improving the quality of bottled water.
30. Why will the team expand their research into tap water
A. To focus on areas with higher plastic pollution.
B. To be aware of the dangerous particles in daily life.
C. To further measure the types of particles in tap water.
D. To detect the smaller plastic particles in industrial areas.
31. What is Qian’s attitude towards his research
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Conservative. D. Positive.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. D
D
What makes people so special Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as exclusively human exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.
Among the invertebrates (无脊椎动物), octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social-group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.
Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families — grandmother, mother, and daughter — all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.
32. The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they _____.
A. are not easy to fool B. prefer fruit to vegetables
C. have a special taste for food D. have an awareness of equality
33. What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins
A. Social interaction. B. Intelligence.
C. Tool using ability. D. Fun-loving spirits.
34. What makes dolphin culture special
A. They tend to hunt in groups.
B. Their hunting skills are passed down.
C. Their learning environment is favourable.
D. Their families are typically female-controlled.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.
B. Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human baby.
C. Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced non-human species.
D. Dolphins’ ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental skill.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. D
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The easiest way to love yourself is to treat yourself like your own BFF. It might seem like it’s easier to love others than to love yourself, but it’s tough to build healthy relationships if you don’t love yourself first. ___36___
Let go of negative thoughts about yourself. Drill down to the core of those thoughts and tell yourself a different story. Think about what you would say to a friend who said those things about themselves. For example if you forgot to buy trash bags, instead of blaming yourself, you might as well think, “I’ll just pick some up next time I go out — no big deal.” Don’t try to fight negative thoughts, though — they’re a part of who you are. ____37____ It might feel weird at first, but after a while, it becomes habitual to think that way.
Accept your flaws as part of who you are. Everything you’ve done and everywhere you’ve been is a part of who you are — you! Self-love isn’t about fixing all the “bad” things about yourself. Instead, accept that they’re all parts of the same whole. _____38_____ For example, maybe you have a hard time trusting people. You wish you could be more trusting and open up more, but instead of trying to change, focus on how not immediately trusting people helps keep you safe.
_____39_____ If you expect yourself to be perfect all the time, you’ll never be pleased with anything you produce. So make it a point to appreciate the work you put into completing a task, rather than looking for flaws in what you produced. Avoid stereotypical ideas and images of perfection, such as models in beauty magazines. Remind yourself that the actual person probably doesn’t look like that in real life!
Practice gratitude for good things rather than focusing on the negative. It’s human nature to see negative things as bigger and more important than positive things, but this also does tremendous damage to your self-esteem. _____40_____ Look for the positive side even when bad things happen to you. For example, if you lose your job, it can be easy to spiral into thinking that you were terrible at your job and no one will ever hire you again. Instead, you might think that now you have the opportunity to find something that’s a better fit for you.
A. Focus on your effort rather than the result to control perfectionism.
B. Challenge those thoughts with logical observations to reframe your conclusion.
C. Instead, you can simply drown them out with more positive, affirmative thoughts.
D. When you love yourself, you love all of you because you wouldn’t have the good without the bad.
E. Here are some strategies that can help you embark on a journey of treating yourself with kindness.
F. Negative thoughts often come from outside people whose opinions we value.
G. When you focus on the negative, try to name some things that you can be grateful for.
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. G

第二节(满分20分)
77. 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 have been blessed by many act s of kindness throughout my life. But the one that stands out the most was the one that happened at the blacksmith (铁匠) shop at Old Sturbridge Village.
When my son was little, it was very clear to me that there was something different about him. After countless trips to different specialists and the completion of extensive testing, a diagnosis of a particular chromosomal (染色体的) disorder was made. He was constantly in motion and had no sense of danger, requiring his caregivers watch his every move to prevent him from running away or heading into traffic. He also loved strangers, thinking that everyone was his potential best friend. He greeted everyone with a hug.
However, no one was willing to accept my son’s well-intended embrace, especially given that he looked much older than his actual age yet acted much younger. Although my son was still too young to recognize when he was being rejected, every hurtful word, unkind refusal, or look of pity broke my heart. I had started to be afraid of taking him out in public.
One day, at the village, I walked around holding my son’s hand, ready to protect him from being hurt. As we strolled along, we passed by a blacksmith shop. The rhythmic pounding of the hammer and the sparks that flew in all directions caught my son’s attention. The process of turning seemingly worthless materials into valuable and visually stunning pieces through heating, hammering, and forging (锻造) seemed like magic to him. As the blacksmith paused his work and wiped the sweat from his brow, my son couldn’t contain his curiosity anymore.
He ran straight over to the blacksmith, wrapped his arms around the man’s legs, and asked if he could have a try. My heart stopped at that moment.
I expected that he, like almost everyone else that we had encountered, would push him away, muttering something about this not being possible.

【答案】范文
What he did next, though, brought me to tears. Instead of pushing my son away like almost everyone else, he knelt down and gently returned a hug. That sweet man then looked at me with a kind expression, and asked if it would be okay for my son to help him with his work. I nodded through my tears. The blacksmith smiled warmly and handed my son a small hammer. He remained patient, answering my son’s incessant questions and spending the next hour allowing my son to “help” hi m as he worked the forge. I watched as they hammered and forged together, witnessing an iron bar being transformed into a dazzling medal.
When that hour was up, my son proudly walked away, with the piece of iron medal. As he clutched it tightly in his hands, his head held high and a radiant smile lit up his face. It wasn’t just a piece of metal; it was a token of acceptance, friendship, and understanding. My son’s dream was realized, all thanks to his small act of kindness. For the first time, someone had actually seen my son as a person of value. A wave of emotions overwhelmed me. It was a moment of profound gratitude and renewed belief that in the most unexpected places and moments, kindness can shine through, making the journey through life’s challenges a little lighter and more hopeful. I felt I have been blessed.
