For decades, the image of my grandmother’s garden remained a sun-drenched place in my mind. It was a wild sprawl of lavender (薰衣草) and mint, where I spent summers chasing
butterflies. However, when I returned to the small coastal village last winter, the reality was a stark contrast. The cottage stood skeletal against the gray sky, and the garden — once a sea of colors — was now covered with dirty weeds.
I stepped through the rusted gate, the screech of metal echoing like a protest from the past. My intention was to find a small stone statue of a sleeping cat that my grandmother had hidden
among the roses. To me, it wasn’tjust a piece of garden decor; it was the “anchor” of my
childhood joy. But as I dug through the damp earth, I found nothing but broken glass and
forgotten plastic. Frustration set in. The house felt like a stranger, its windows staring back at me with empty indifference.
Just as I was about to give up, I noticed a tiny, stubborn sprout of mint pushing through a
crack in the stone path. I crushed a leaf between my fingers, and that sharp, cooling scent suddenly flooded my senses. In that moment, the garden didn’t need the statue to be “real” again. The
physical objects had decayed (衰败), but the essence of the place — the smell, the wind, the feeling of belonging — remained untouched by time.
I walked away from the ruins without the statue, but with something far more permanent. I realized that home isn’t a collection of things you can dig up; it’s a fragrance that lingers in the
mind long after the garden is gone.
4 .Why did the author return to the cottage
A .To repair the old, rusted gate.

Cognitive dissonance, a concept introduced by psychologist Leon Festinger in 1957, refers to the mental discomfort experienced when a person engages in actions that conflict with their
self-perception. According to Festinger’s theory, individuals are motivated to reduce this discomfort by altering their beliefs, justifying their behavior, or avoiding contradictory
information.
For example, a student who spends excessive money on a new smartphone but later regrets it might convince themselves, “This phone is worth it because it improves my study efficiency,” even if evidence suggests otherwise. This rationalization helps reduce the dissonance between
their action (spending money) and their belief (saving money is wise). Another common example is a smoker who knows cigarettes harm health but continues smoking. To ease the discomfort,
试卷第 6 页,共 14 页
they might tell themselves, “Smoking helps me relax, and stress is worse for my health anyway.” Here, the contradiction between their behavior (smoking) and knowledge (health risks) drives
them to invent justifications.
Research shows cognitive dissonance can influence decision-making in areas like health,
ethics, and consumer behavior. In a classic experiment, participants who were paid $ 1 to lie about a boring task being enjoyable later reported greater enjoyment of the task than those paid $ 20.
Festinger argued that those paid $ 1 experienced stronger dissonance (lying for little reward) and thus adjusted their attitude to be in line with their behavior.
While cognitive dissonance theory has been widely applied, critics note that cultural factors may affect how individuals cope with contradictions. For example, in cultures that value group
unity (like many Asian societies), people may focus more on avoiding conflict with others than on sticking to their own beliefs.
8 .What is cognitive dissonance mainly about
A .A method to enhance decision-making skills and reduce stress.
B .Mental stress caused by conflicts between beliefs and actions.
C .Cultural variations in solving inner contradictions from views.
D .Avoiding truths that cause personal discomfort or pressure.
9 .The word “rationalization” in Paragraph 2 most likely means .
A .admitting personal mistakes openly
B .developing logical plans carefully
C .balancing different choices fairly
D .inventing seemingly sound excuses
10 .Why did participants paid $1 in the experiment report enjoying the task more
A .They found the task genuinely interesting.
B .They wanted to please the researchers.
C .They needed to justify their low reward.
D .They were influenced by peer pressure.
11 .In collectivist cultures, how might individuals handle cognitive dissonance
A .They focus on changing personal beliefs over consistency actions.
B .They prioritize maintaining group harmony over personal views.
试卷第 7 页,共 14 页
C .They avoid all situations that cause mental discomfort.
D .They rely on financial benefits to justify contradictions.

In the next few months, millions will apply for postgraduate study. Most plan to get a master’s degree, hoping it will help them stand out in a crowded job market.
People often think they need a master’s degree to get or keep a job, mainly because they feel insecure, yet research shows a master’s usually raises pay much less than a college degree, and some programs leave graduates worse off.
Despite the limited benefits for graduates, universities still have reasons to admit more
postgraduates. In Britain, undergraduate fees are controlled by the government and have barely
risen for ten years. Enrolling more postgraduates, who can be charged higher fees, is one way to
make more money. In America, as fewer young people attend college, universities hope more
students will return for master’s degrees. Since 2000, the cost of studying for a master’s in
America has tripled. Many students still pay high fees because they believe higher degrees will
help them earn more. In fact, people with a college degree make about 70% more than high-school graduates, while those with a master’s earn about 18% more.
The subject chosen matters most. In America, master’s degrees in computer science and
engineering bring the biggest pay rise. In some subjects, people even earn less. In Britain, men
with a master’s in politics make about 10% less in their mid-30s than those who only studied it at college; for history, the drop is about 20%, and for English, nearly 30%.
Women are more likely than men to gain from a master’s degree. A British study finds such degrees raise women’s earnings in 14 of 31 subjects, but for men, only in six. This is surprising
because men usually earn more, and the gap grows with education. Still, women with higher degrees often earn more than those without, as they tend to work longer hours, especially after becoming parents.
12 .What motivates many people to pursue a master’s degree
A .They want to gain an edge in the job market.
B .They expect to find easier jobs after graduation.
C .They hope to earn more than college graduates.
试卷第 8 页,共 14 页
D .They wish to prepare for further academic study.
13 .Why do many universities want more postgraduate students
A .To earn more from higher tuition fees.
B .To cope with the rising undergraduate fees.
C .To attract returning students and adult learners.
D .To provide more opportunities in technical fields.
14 .What is the writer’s attitude toward people’s pursuit of master’s degrees
A .Appreciative. B .Unconcerned.
C .Objective. D .Disapproving.
15 .Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A .How a Master’s Degree Increases a Graduate’s Pay
B .Why Universities Enroll More Postgraduate Students
C .The Decline in Students Pursuing a Master’s Degree.
D .The Value of a Master’s Degree and Its Impact Factors.
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 3 分,满分 15 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。有两项为多余选项。
We all know that reading more is a worthy goal, yet most of us find it difficult to stick to a consistent reading habit. Between work, social obligations, and the endless pull of digital screens, books often get pushed to the side. ___16___ Instead of aiming for hours of deep reading, the key is to start small — very small.
The most common mistake people make is setting overly ambitious goals. For instance, you might promise yourself to read 50 pages every night. However, on a tiring day, this can feel like a heavy chore, ___ 17___ Try committing to just one page a day. This is what habits experts call a
“micro-habit.” It is so easy that you can not say no to it, even on your busiest days.
___ 18___ Rather than waiting for a large block of free time, look for “hidden” moments.
These could be the ten minutes spent on the bus or the time you spend waiting for your coffee to
brew. By keeping a book with you at all times — whether physical or digital — you make it easier to choose reading over mindless scrolling.
试卷第 9 页,共 14 页
Environment also plays a crucial role. Design your space to trigger the behavior you want. If your book is buried under a pile of mail, you likely won’t pick it up, ___ 19___ Placing a book on your pillow or next to your favorite chair serves as a visual cue that reminds you to read.
Finally, don’t forget to enjoy the process. Reading shouldn’t feel like a competition or a task to be completed. ___20___ If a book isn’t capturing your interest after a few chapters, it’s okay to put it down and find something else. The goal is to build a sustainable love for reading, one page at a time.
A .Many readers lose hope before they ever begin properly.
B .This is where the power of small steps comes in.
C .Instead, focus on finding material that truly excites you.
D .Another strategy is to take advantage of small pockets of time.
E .Such experiences often lead people to give up reading completely.
F .so to avoid this, you should lower the bar until the goal becomes effortless.
G .but by keeping the book in plain sight, you can easily change this habit.

试卷第 12 页,共 14 页
When Mark, a software engineer from Chicago, first arrived in Chengdu to lead a joint project, he prided himself on his cultural adaptability. He had read the guidebooks and even
learned basic Chinese greetings. However, nothing prepared him for a dramatic and confusing Chinese dinner bill fight.
On a Friday evening, Mark invited two Chinese colleagues (同事), Li Wei and Director Zhang, to a hotpot dinner to celebrate the completion of a project. Since it was a casual outing, Mark had planned to go Dutch (split the bill), the standard and fair practice in Chicago.
The meal was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm, filled with laughter and toasts to
future success. As the meal wound down, Mark signaled the waiter over and asked him for the
bill, intending to split the cost equally and pay his own share. Seeing this, Li Wei and Director
Zhang exchanged surprised glances and practically leaped from their chairs. What followed was a scene of chaos that genuinely alarmed Mark. Both of the colleagues were physically blocking him from the waiter. And each of them was trying to pay for the dinner.
“No, no, no! Mark! You are a guest in China. It’s my treat!” Li Wei insisted, his hand
grabbing Mark’s arm with surprising strength. And Director Zhang, usually a quiet man, shouted loudly, “You are in Chengdu, my hometown. I should pay!” He already stuffed the money into the waiter’s hand.
Mark felt a rush of confusion and annoyance. In America, financial independence is a virtue, and if someone pays for you, they seem to look down upon you.
“Stop!” Mark said, his voice a little louder than he intended. The table went quiet. “Each pay his own way. OK ” Then he threw his share on the table heavily. His colleagues froze,
looking awkward. The ride home was silent — Mark had finally followed his own way, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had lost something important.
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。
The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive (强势) last night ”

Festinger argued that those paid $ 1 experienced stronger dissonance (lying for little reward) and thus adjusted their attitude to be in line with their behavior.(在一个经典的实验中,那些被付1 美元去说一个无聊的任务很有趣的人,后来报告说他们比那些被付 20 美元的人更享受这个任务。Festinger 认为,那些得到 1 美元报酬的人经历了更强烈的不和谐(为了微薄的报酬而说谎),因此他们调整了自己的态度以符合自己的行为。)”可知,实验中支付 1 美元的参与者报告说更享受这项任务是因为他们需要为自己的低报酬找借口。故选 C。
11 .推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For example, in cultures that value group unity (like many Asian societies), people may focus more on avoiding conflict with others than on sticking to their own beliefs. (例如,在重视群体团结的文化中(如许多亚洲社会),人们可能更注重避免与他人发生冲突,而不是坚持自己的信念。)”可知,在集体主义文化中,个人可能更注重维护群体和谐,而不是坚持个人观点。故选 B。

charged higher fees, is one way to make more money. In America, as fewer young people attend
college, universities hope more students will return for master’s degrees. Since 2000, the cost of
studying for a master’s in America has tripled.(尽管硕士学位对毕业生的好处有限,但高校仍有理由扩招研究生。在英国, 本科学费受政府管控,十年来几乎没有上涨。招收更多能收取更高学费的研究生是增加收入的一种方式。在美国, 随着上大学的年轻人减少,高校希望更多学生返校攻读硕士学位。自 2000 年以来,美国硕士学位的学费已经涨了三倍。)”可知,许多高校希望扩招研究生的原因是能从更高的学费中赚取更多收入。故选 A 项。

Should Community Service be a Requirement for Graduation
As a high school student, I firmly believe that community service should be included as a
graduation requirement. Firstly, community service should be a graduation requirement because it benefits society and promotes students’ growth. By volunteering, students develop empathy and
social responsibility, which are crucial for personal development. Additionally, they gain
invaluable skills like teamwork and problem-solving. If schools mandate community service, students will contribute more to their communities. This requirement fosters compassion and strengthens society, making it essential for education.

47 . The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive last night ” Li Wei smiled and explained gently that treating guests was a deep-rooted Chinese
tradition, a way to show respect, hospitality and sincerity to friends. “We didn’t mean to be
aggressive. It’s our way of valuing the friendship with you,” he added softly. Mark suddenly
realized it was a cultural misunderstanding, not disrespect or looking down on him. He felt guilty and apologized for his rudeness the night before. Li Wei patted his shoulder warmly, saying it was no big deal and they all understood his habit.
Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. This time, Mark planned ahead. After the delicious meal, he playfully blocked Li Wei and Director
Zhang before they could stand up, saying with a smile, “As your friend and colleague, let me treat you today — it’s my turn to show my sincerity!” The two laughed warmly and no longer insisted. They chatted happily over tea, with no awkwardness left. Mark deeply realized that respecting
local customs was the key to building true cross-cultural bonds. The dinner ended with cheerful
