I. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and
grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Temperatures are warming up with days getting longer, so we throw off our coats and boots and spend time outside taking in the sun’s warmth.
Those signs of spring also signal to many that it’s time to conduct a thorough cleaning in
their house, a tradition with roots 1 (date) back to ancient times, symbolizing the
transition from the hibernating (冬眠) winter season to the dynamic growth of spring. “We sweep the floor and polish the surface, and 2 these actions represent is that we are honoring a
tradition which unites us with past generations,” says Maren Voss, a director at the Museum of the Home in London.
Spring cleaning actually arises from various cultures. In Chinese culture, it is customary
just before New Year’s Day 3 (tidy) up one’s home so that good fortune will arrive. In Western culture, spring cleaning also has a practical history. In the past, homes ____4____ (heat) with wood or coal. And oil lamps lit homes____5____ electricity was widely used, so dirt built up on surfaces. Here came spring cleaning.
However, spring cleaning may have more to do with biology. Some studies suggest more sunlight increases our wakefulness because we produce less melatonin, a chemical that makes us sleepy. Melatonin causes us to become 6 (willing) to refresh our space. When the
seasons start to shift, feelings of dullness reduce, and we regain energy and feel 7 (motivate) to deep clean our living environments.
Studies have shown that cleaning has a healing effect, as seen by the new generation of “cleanfluencers” 8 are taking social media by storm. Millions of people watch them

China’s first robot Peking Opera has drawn attention for its costumes, classic pieces, and the team-up between a fully made-up robot and a human performer.
Videos from the first show of Farewell My Concubine (《霸王别姬》) show “Scholar 01,” China’s first robot doctoral student, stepping onstage. Dressed as the historical ____11____ Xiang Yu, the robot moves, raises its arms, and shifts its eyes to the beat of music, performing alongside Wu Xiaofeng, a Peking Opera major.
Those videos triggered widespread discussion. For some audience, the performance was “full of futuristic charm,” an inventive 12 of traditional opera and cutting-edge
technology. Others questioned whether a machine, however 13 , could truly belong on a stage for which human performers have spent their whole lives training.
Yet what 14 on stage touched something deeper than the novelty of a robot in face paint. The interaction of human breath and machine code suggested a(n) ____15____ possibility:
That technology might extend beyond the languages of traditional operas.
The robot’s 16 added a strange clarity to the unique movements that have defined Peking Opera for centuries. Wen Mu, the director of the performance, stated it aimed to offer a
glimpse of what a data-driven interpretation of the form could look like. One that can be repeated, fine-tuned and built upon in ways no human body would tolerate. And beyond the mechanics, the integration of robotics and Peking Opera is 17 new life into the ancient art, drawing in

youngsters.
After the performance, teenagers who had never watched a full traditional opera suddenly found themselves discussing face-painting styles. Whatever one makes of the aesthetics (审美), it is clear that the production succeeded in 18 the conversation around Peking Opera. A
robot dressed as Xiang Yu does offer younger and global audiences an accessible doorway into a dense, centuries-old tradition. For a cultural form that is so often 19 “too distant,” this is no small achievement.
And perhaps that is where the Shanghai experiment lands most thoughtfully as a reminder that the future of an ancient art depends on how carefully its devoted protectors 20
progress and preservation. Robotics can enrich the stage, but it should not replace the human instinct and emotional intelligence on which Peking Opera’s survival depends.
II. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or
phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Letting kids run wild outside
A group of children is attempting to move a large stick into place, discussing where it
should go. Another child kneels beside a puddle (水坑), drawing a treasure map in the mud. What is in this scene There are no parents standing close by, telling them to “be careful”.
This kind of adventure—what social media has called “unstructured child summer”—is gaining attention. A study found children spend 35 percent less time playing outdoors than their
parents did. Scientists say the matters because nature play is good for executive function, emotional regulation and more.
Letting children spend their days in wild spaces may look simple, but to the brain, these
moments are a . “Our research shows children allowed to participate in outdoor play
become more independent and self-sufficient,” says Martha Thorne, a professor at Queen Maud
University College. She adds play is linked to higher physical and mental well-being,
and children who take physical risks often become better at judging other kinds. Thorne notes this

inevitably arise, but kids have stronger motivation to work them out, building skills that serve them well throughout life.
It is widely claimed that sports and other indoor activities have their benefits, but them exclusively means kids aren’t developing executive function skills independently. Without
practice navigating trouble or novel situations on their own, teens and young adults may when real life doesn’t follow a pattern.
It’s usually easier to build these skills early, when brains are most . “The early
years are really formative years for feeling comfortable and capable in nature.” Still, Thorne
emphasizes over age. she says, “A child should develop at their own pace and
overcome challenges step-by-step because then they learn how to risks and handle them within their level.”
Our experiences with nature in childhood have the potential for a lifelong impact. A review of school-led green space programs found ________ improvements to students’ mood and peer
connection. , playing with nature isn’t just good for children. It’s good for the balance of nature. People who spend time in nature as children are more likely to care for it as adults.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by
several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
When I was about to start my Ph.D. studies, I was full of excitement, nursing a firm belief: I would become a scientist.
On the first day, I immediately felt out of place. The laboratory was full of shiny
instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks. My teacher handed me a tube and asked me to set up a reaction I had never done before. I stayed in the lab until midnight, afraid of being left
behind.
Most of all, I was hit hard by the language barrier. I was used to classes taught in my
mother tongue, but here, everyone spoke English. After the presentation that left me red in the
face, just as I was considering leaving science, a senior lab member pulled me aside. “You are not here because of your English,” he reminded me. “You came here because you can think.” His
simple words gave me the courage to continue. I carried a tape recorder to every class, replaying presentations to fill gaps. My English progress was slow but steady. By the time I defended my
Ph.D., I could express my ideas clearly, and I had come to see my accent not as a barrier, but as a part of my identity that I was proud of. My confidence had skyrocketed.
After continuing training in Canada and the US, I returned to my homeland to run my own lab. I assumed my students wouldn’t suffer from the language barrier as I had. But gradually I saw they faced with the same doubts—anxiety about career, confusion about identity. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and, most of all, give them confidence to succeed in science
and in life.
One afternoon, I saw a student wrestling with various samples, her gloved hands carefully

labeling tube after tube, just like mine used to. Remembering my frustration and what my lab
partner once told me, I said, “ You are not here because 38 . You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was inspired by these words.
Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive
nervous but leave confident enough to challenge me, their professor. Every time I walk into the
classroom, I see a younger version of myself, and remember the bridge I had to cross to get where I am today. For me, helping others cross that bridge is the true reward of scientific life.

(C)
Understanding a simple-looking sentence such as “I read this article” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation. But the human brain routinely does this work nearly
immediately based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist (语言学家) Clara Beckett in the Netherlands. And Beckett’s team has now found that the human brain accommodates
fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.
For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these
changes, the scientists quantify how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time.
Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where
listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the
Dutch speakers in Beckett’s study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head before it was complete. (A third model, in which
listeners wait to hear all the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part ofit, is seldom used in either language.)
In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Linden in New York
试卷第 8 页，共 13 页
University. For instance, “‘I ate a cookie with chocolate’ in Dutch would be ‘I the cookie with
chocolate ate.’ You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Linden says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing” the sentence.
Neither parsing strategy is necessarily “better or worse” than the other, Linden adds. “It just happens to be suited to the language people are processing. So we seem to be quite flexible in that you might process one language differently from another simply because they have different
properties.”
The findings support the need for scientists to incorporate more diversity when crafting
linguistic models, says Zining Qiu, a linguist who was not involved in the new study. Her own
work has illustrated how different brain regions activate when processing English or Chinese
sentences because of their differing linguistic properties. If these studies are done only in
English-speaking adults, she says, crucial differences in processing will be missed. Qiu maintains that this limitation defeats the purpose of the models, which are meant to provide a realistic
picture of human language-based thinking.
Diversifying subjects in studies of how the brain processes language “is going to help us
capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social utility of language, in many different ways,” Beckett says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.”
43 ．Which of the following situations best shows the result of conceptual computation (Para.1) A ．A child repeats “kangaroo” after hearing it from her mother.
B ．A listener instantly knows who did what in “Dad made pizza”.
C ．A student takes notes to break down a complicated argument.
D ．A processor totals the number of words in a sentence in no time.
44 ．The linguistic model in Dutch is highly predictive because .
A ．Dutch verbs arrive late, forcing the brain to predict early
B ．Dutch-language audiobooks help visualize the meaning
C ．Dutch speakers use various models to analyze sentences
D ．Dutch listeners “wait and see” how each phrase will end
45 ．Zining Qiu would most likely agree that .
A ．English-based studies have huge scientific value
试卷第 9 页，共 13 页
B ．existing linguistic models may not apply universally
C ．only non-English languages deserve further investigation
D ．findings from Dutch speakers contradict previous research
46 ．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A ．European grammar rules B ．Understanding the brain
C ．Comparing Dutch and English D ．Language on the mind
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two
more sentences than you need.
The Power of Pebbling
Every day, despite our demanding roles, we exchange small digital clips and emojis. These are meaningful signals that keep us connected, a way of saying, “I’m thinking of you.”
In many ways, this is our newfound practice that keeps us connected when life pulls us in different directions 47 Inspired by Gentoo penguins (巴布亚企鹅) who offer pebbles to mates, pebbling in human relationships involves small, thoughtful gestures that show someone is on our mind. In a digital age, this means sharing videos, or articles that mirror our inner circles,
serving as a modern love language that narrows emotional and physical distance.
Technology can be a regenerative force for connection, though people remain doubtful
about its role in human relationships. 48 While there may be some truth to these
concerns, it’s also important to detail how technology can enhance our relationships. For those
who are interested in less straight ways of knowing, the attempts for digital connection can remind us that relationships are not always defined by being physically close or responsive.
49 For those who find traditional forms of communication challenging, pebbling can be a strong alternative for expressing affection and maintaining closeness without the pressure of sustained conversation. Traditional expressions of affection may not feel genuine, but pebbling can allow for relational development through digital actions.
In our fast-paced world, it’s tempting to dismiss these digital connections. Yet, by noticing how people create new forms of relationships, we can enrich our understanding. Screen time
试卷第 10 页，共 13 页
should not be seen only as an enemy of connection. 50 If that is the case, then our work is to keep searching and learning from how people adapt as relationships keep evolving.
A ．Critics argue that screens have replaced face-to-face conversations and that social media often creates shallow connections.
B ．In fact, pebbling can serve as a gentle bridge for those who are not used to conventional closeness.
C ．It is easy to overlook pebbling as an especially valuable form of communication for sociable people.
D ．It’s not surprising that this practice has earned a name: Pebbling.
E ．Rather, it can be a new path to building and maintaining close relationships.
F ．When transferred to human relationships, this practice involves tiny, considerate gestures.
III. Summary Writing
51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The Secret of Belly Fat (腹部脂肪)
Belly fat refers to the unnecessary fat stored deep in the belly around the internal organs. It has long been thought to be particularly bad for your heart, increasing the risk of high blood
pressure. However, recent scientific studies are casting new light on its more complex functions.
A large-scale study published in Neurology has found that people with more belly fat tend to have less gray matter in their brains. Since gray matter helps with thinking and memory, this
reduction in size means too much belly fat could lead to memory problems later in life. Scientists believe belly fat may harm the brain by producing harmful substances that cause gray matter to
decrease and gradually damage the brain over time.
However, not all belly fat is harmful. Emerging research from the Karolinska Institute
reveals that there are several types of belly fat, and some can actually help your body. For
example, fat located near your intestine (肠子) contains many defense cells that help fight diseases. This fat acts like an organ that talks to your body’s defense network. Furthermore, other studies
distinguish between different types of fat cell. Unlike white fat that stores energy, brown and light yellow-brown fat burn calories to produce heat and can help lower blood pressure, which means
试卷第 11 页，共 13 页
some belly fat can protect your heart and improve your health.
Thus, belly fat represents a biological mystery: while too much fat leads to disease, certain fat tissues play protective roles in fighting illness and processing energy. This two-sided fact
emphasizes that health depends not just on fat quantity, but on its type and function. Maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress effectively can help
control harmful belly fat while promoting the beneficial forms, contributing to overall well-being.

51 ．Version 1
Belly fat was once considered harmful to heart. However, new studies show too much belly fat may harm the brain and cause memory loss while some fat, like brown fat, helps fight diseases, burn calories and protect the heart. So health depends on fat’s type and role. Eating well,
exercising, and managing stress can control bad fat. (59)
Version 2
New studies show belly fat is more complex than previously thought. While too much belly fat harms the brain and causes memory loss, certain types, like brown fat, can protect health by
burning calories and supporting immunity. Therefore, health depends on its type and function. Eating well, exercising, and managing stress help control bad fat. (55 words)

practice navigating trouble or novel situations on their own, teens and young adults may when real life doesn’t follow a pattern.
It’s usually easier to build these skills early, when brains are most . “The early
years are really formative years for feeling comfortable and capable in nature.” Still, Thorne
emphasizes over age. she says, “A child should develop at their own pace and
overcome challenges step-by-step because then they learn how to risks and handle them within their level.”
Our experiences with nature in childhood have the potential for a lifelong impact. A review of school-led green space programs found ________ improvements to students’ mood and peer
connection. , playing with nature isn’t just good for children. It’s good for the balance of nature. People who spend time in nature as children are more likely to care for it as adults.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by
several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
When I was about to start my Ph.D. studies, I was full of excitement, nursing a firm belief: I would become a scientist.
On the first day, I immediately felt out of place. The laboratory was full of shiny
instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks. My teacher handed me a tube and asked me to set up a reaction I had never done before. I stayed in the lab until midnight, afraid of being left
behind.
Most of all, I was hit hard by the language barrier. I was used to classes taught in my
mother tongue, but here, everyone spoke English. After the presentation that left me red in the
face, just as I was considering leaving science, a senior lab member pulled me aside. “You are not here because of your English,” he reminded me. “You came here because you can think.” His
simple words gave me the courage to continue. I carried a tape recorder to every class, replaying presentations to fill gaps. My English progress was slow but steady. By the time I defended my
Ph.D., I could express my ideas clearly, and I had come to see my accent not as a barrier, but as a part of my identity that I was proud of. My confidence had skyrocketed.
After continuing training in Canada and the US, I returned to my homeland to run my own lab. I assumed my students wouldn’t suffer from the language barrier as I had. But gradually I saw they faced with the same doubts—anxiety about career, confusion about identity. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and, most of all, give them confidence to succeed in science
and in life.
One afternoon, I saw a student wrestling with various samples, her gloved hands carefully

labeling tube after tube, just like mine used to. Remembering my frustration and what my lab
partner once told me, I said, “ You are not here because 38 . You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was inspired by these words.
Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive
nervous but leave confident enough to challenge me, their professor. Every time I walk into the
classroom, I see a younger version of myself, and remember the bridge I had to cross to get where I am today. For me, helping others cross that bridge is the true reward of scientific life.

(C)
Understanding a simple-looking sentence such as “I read this article” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation. But the human brain routinely does this work nearly
immediately based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist (语言学家) Clara Beckett in the Netherlands. And Beckett’s team has now found that the human brain accommodates
fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.
For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these
changes, the scientists quantify how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time.
Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where
listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the
Dutch speakers in Beckett’s study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head before it was complete. (A third model, in which
listeners wait to hear all the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part ofit, is seldom used in either language.)
In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Linden in New York

University. For instance, “‘I ate a cookie with chocolate’ in Dutch would be ‘I the cookie with
chocolate ate.’ You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Linden says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing” the sentence.
Neither parsing strategy is necessarily “better or worse” than the other, Linden adds. “It just happens to be suited to the language people are processing. So we seem to be quite flexible in that you might process one language differently from another simply because they have different
properties.”
The findings support the need for scientists to incorporate more diversity when crafting
linguistic models, says Zining Qiu, a linguist who was not involved in the new study. Her own
work has illustrated how different brain regions activate when processing English or Chinese
sentences because of their differing linguistic properties. If these studies are done only in
English-speaking adults, she says, crucial differences in processing will be missed. Qiu maintains that this limitation defeats the purpose of the models, which are meant to provide a realistic
picture of human language-based thinking.
Diversifying subjects in studies of how the brain processes language “is going to help us
capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social utility of language, in many different ways,” Beckett says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.”
43 ．Which of the following situations best shows the result of conceptual computation (Para.1) A ．A child repeats “kangaroo” after hearing it from her mother.
B ．A listener instantly knows who did what in “Dad made pizza”.
C ．A student takes notes to break down a complicated argument.
D ．A processor totals the number of words in a sentence in no time.
44 ．The linguistic model in Dutch is highly predictive because .
A ．Dutch verbs arrive late, forcing the brain to predict early
B ．Dutch-language audiobooks help visualize the meaning
C ．Dutch speakers use various models to analyze sentences
D ．Dutch listeners “wait and see” how each phrase will end

The Power of Pebbling
Every day, despite our demanding roles, we exchange small digital clips and emojis. These are meaningful signals that keep us connected, a way of saying, “I’m thinking of you.”
In many ways, this is our newfound practice that keeps us connected when life pulls us in different directions 47 Inspired by Gentoo penguins (巴布亚企鹅) who offer pebbles to mates, pebbling in human relationships involves small, thoughtful gestures that show someone is on our mind. In a digital age, this means sharing videos, or articles that mirror our inner circles,
serving as a modern love language that narrows emotional and physical distance.
Technology can be a regenerative force for connection, though people remain doubtful
about its role in human relationships. 48 While there may be some truth to these
concerns, it’s also important to detail how technology can enhance our relationships. For those
who are interested in less straight ways of knowing, the attempts for digital connection can remind us that relationships are not always defined by being physically close or responsive.
49 For those who find traditional forms of communication challenging, pebbling can be a strong alternative for expressing affection and maintaining closeness without the pressure of sustained conversation. Traditional expressions of affection may not feel genuine, but pebbling can allow for relational development through digital actions.
In our fast-paced world, it’s tempting to dismiss these digital connections. Yet, by noticing how people create new forms of relationships, we can enrich our understanding. Screen time

should not be seen only as an enemy of connection. 50 If that is the case, then our work is to keep searching and learning from how people adapt as relationships keep evolving.
A ．Critics argue that screens have replaced face-to-face conversations and that social media often creates shallow connections.
B ．In fact, pebbling can serve as a gentle bridge for those who are not used to conventional closeness.
C ．It is easy to overlook pebbling as an especially valuable form of communication for sociable people.
D ．It’s not surprising that this practice has earned a name: Pebbling.
E ．Rather, it can be a new path to building and maintaining close relationships.
F ．When transferred to human relationships, this practice involves tiny, considerate gestures.
III. Summary Writing
51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The Secret of Belly Fat (腹部脂肪)
Belly fat refers to the unnecessary fat stored deep in the belly around the internal organs. It has long been thought to be particularly bad for your heart, increasing the risk of high blood
pressure. However, recent scientific studies are casting new light on its more complex functions.
A large-scale study published in Neurology has found that people with more belly fat tend to have less gray matter in their brains. Since gray matter helps with thinking and memory, this
reduction in size means too much belly fat could lead to memory problems later in life. Scientists believe belly fat may harm the brain by producing harmful substances that cause gray matter to
decrease and gradually damage the brain over time.
However, not all belly fat is harmful. Emerging research from the Karolinska Institute
reveals that there are several types of belly fat, and some can actually help your body. For
example, fat located near your intestine (肠子) contains many defense cells that help fight diseases. This fat acts like an organ that talks to your body’s defense network. Furthermore, other studies
distinguish between different types of fat cell. Unlike white fat that stores energy, brown and light yellow-brown fat burn calories to produce heat and can help lower blood pressure, which means
试卷第 11 页，共 13 页
some belly fat can protect your heart and improve your health.
Thus, belly fat represents a biological mystery: while too much fat leads to disease, certain fat tissues play protective roles in fighting illness and processing energy. This two-sided fact
emphasizes that health depends not just on fat quantity, but on its type and function. Maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress effectively can help
control harmful belly fat while promoting the beneficial forms, contributing to overall well-being.

51 ．Version 1
Belly fat was once considered harmful to heart. However, new studies show too much belly fat may harm the brain and cause memory loss while some fat, like brown fat, helps fight diseases, burn calories and protect the heart. So health depends on fat’s type and role. Eating well,
exercising, and managing stress can control bad fat. (59)
Version 2
New studies show belly fat is more complex than previously thought. While too much belly fat harms the brain and causes memory loss, certain types, like brown fat, can protect health by
burning calories and supporting immunity. Therefore, health depends on its type and function. Eating well, exercising, and managing stress help control bad fat. (55 words)
