As I signed the pre-medical application form, my fingers shook uncontrollably. The watercolor brushes on my
第 3页/共 12页desk seemed to gaze back at me, like old friends who had been left behind. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly
drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom
always said. Her words haunted (萦绕) me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads (便笺本).
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list
our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”, something I’d learned from painting flower
petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology
notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?”
For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady
hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing
dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that
looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and
art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never
knew existed — graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your impractical
skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between
them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their
feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality cancelling each other out — they just
multiply possibilities.
4. What did Lora’s mother believe about art from paragraph 1?
A. Art is a good way to express feelings.
B. Art is not practical for making a living.
C. Art can help with medical studies.
D. Art is more important than science.
5. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’s “hidden skill” as ________.
A. a plus B. a recreation C. a distraction D. a burden
6. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her?
A. It helped develop her surgical skills.
B. It directed her toward doctor training.
第 4页/共 12页C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art.
D. It convinced her of art’s role in health care.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Follow the beaten track to success.
B Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D. Two strings to your bow light the way.
C
You might have heard someone say that a song changed their life. And maybe you used to hate tomatoes, but
now you like it. No one doubts that we change as we grow older. But do we change in major ways? Can we really
change who we are? People used to believe we stay pretty much the same throughout our lives, but researchers are
increasingly finding that we can and do change in big ways.
Psychologists have identified five dimensions that help us understand someone’s personality, which are called
the “Big Five.” They are: 1. Openness: How open are you to trying new things? 2. Conscientiousness (尽责性):
How responsible are you? 3. Extroversion (外 向 ):How friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastic are you? 4.
Agreeableness: How caring, trusting, and generous are you? 5. Emotional stability: How calm are you, especially
when problems arise? Everyone has different levels of the big five dimensions. For example, Harry Potter has high
levels of openness to experience, while Hermione Granger would score high in conscientiousness.
Scientists used to think that each person’s “Big Five” stayed the same their whole life, but newer research
suggests that the dimensions do change. People who took a personality test as teen-agers scored very differently
when they took the same test 50 years later. Three dimensions usually changed more than the others, which are
emotional stability, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. In fact, most adults were more emotionally stable, more
conscientious, and more agreeable than when they were younger. Researchers considered this a sign that we mature
over time, perhaps learning to get along better with others.
Even though people change over time, the relationship between dimensions often remains similar. For
example, someone who was very open to new experiences but who was not agreeable as a teenager was likely still
more open to new things than agreeable as an adult. Scores changed, and sometimes changed a lot, but they didn’t
change randomly.
8. Why does the author mention Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in Paragraph 2?
A. To identify the impact of the big five dimensions.
第 5页/共 12页B. To stress the value of openness and responsibility.
C. To analyze some main characters in popular fiction.
D. To illustrate various degrees of personality dimensions.
9. Which of the following is the most likely result of people’s aging?
A. Becoming more hot-tempered. B. Becoming more considerate.
C. Becoming less responsible. D. Becoming less generous.
10. What does the last paragraph suggest about one’s personality dimensions?
A. Personality dimensions change accidentally.
B. One is likely to be more open than agreeable.
C. Relationship between dimensions stays unchanged.
D. Changes in personality dimensions follow some pattern.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Effects of Changing. B. What Are the “Big Five”?
C. Do People Really Change? D. Personality Dimensions Matter.
D
Some penguins(企鹅)adapt their calls to become more similar to their partners over time,an ability that was
previously known in only a few species, including humans.
Luigi Baciadonna at the University of Turin, Italy, and his coworkers recorded African penguins from three
different colonies(群体)over three years, and also observed the behavioral patterns of one of the colonies to see
which penguins were partners or friendly.
They then analyzed specific vocal(嗓音的)calls, which the penguins made when they were alone or trying to
keep track of their friends.They compared four distinct vocal signatures such as the frequency of the calls. The
signatures became more similar over time for penguins that were partners or in the same colony, and for penguins
that heard more of each other’s calls.
This adaptation could make it easier for penguins to find their partners and friends in a colony. “Imagine that
you are in a pub, you are with your friends and your environment is quite noisy,” says Baciadonna. “What you do is
try to talk in a certain way so that your communication is more effective.”
The ability to adapt calls in response to the environment, known as vocal accommodation, is a key part of
vocal learning, a more complex set of skills such as producing new sounds through learning. Identifying which
species display vocal accommodation could provide clues to how vocal learning developed. Baciadonna and his
第 6页/共 12页team also propose that this accommodation could help with group harmony and social bonds between individual
penguins.
The distance of penguins from humans on the evolutionary tree suggests that vocal accommodation could be
common to many species, but a lot more data needs gathering first. “There could be a huge variety of different
species that are able to adapt their calls slightly, but we don’t know that yet,” says Sara Torres Ortiz at the Max
Planck Institute for Ornithology.
12. What does the underlined word “signatures” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Effects. B. Characteristics.
C. Sources. D. Adjustments.
13. What is the intention of the quotes from Baciadonna in paragraph 4?
A. To explain the reason why penguins adapt their calls.
B. To highlight the role communication plays in social life.
C. To prove humans’ ability to recognize each other's voices.
D. To stress the difference between human and animal sounds.
14. What remains to be explored according to Sara Torres Ortiz?
A. Whether penguins can promote group harmony.
B. Whether all species can adapt to the environment.
C. Whether more species display vocal accommodation.
D. Whether penguins and humans are similar in vocal learning.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Vocal learning involves a complex set of skills.
B. Vocal accommodation helps build up social bonds.
C. Penguins produce similar sounds even in different colonies.
D. Penguins adapt their accents to sound more like their partners.

When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were
basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. ____16____. For example, they took us to Denali
National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us
buy anything from the SkyMall catalog (目录).
第 7页/共 12页Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost
privilege. ____17____. Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since
graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland photographed wildlife in Grand
Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and
I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna,
and most recently, road-tripped through three states.
____18____. After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who
raised you isn’t always easy. “____19____,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is
seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to
plan, but so far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’ Autremont, a licensed professional adviser
based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult
selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now,
with “now” being the key word. ____20____.
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving

Tom’s family was a small family on the coastal line of a small village. Tom was 11 years old. He was tall, dark
and handsome and had a lot of dreams. He had always dreamt of living in a city. He was always his dad’s charm, as
he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom. All he could remember about his mom was her scars, red and
white scars on her face, neck and hands. He always felt unpleasant to see his mom’s face. But what he did not know
was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old. Not wanting to burden
him with it, Tom’s parents kept it a secret.
His mom Maria used to drop him to school and pick him up every day. He felt awkward to see his mom with
that scarred face standing in front of the school gate. As he was laughing and chatting with his fellow schoolmates,
all of them became silent and started staring at the gate. So, Tom turned towards the gate with a lot of curiosity. He
froze when seeing his mom, face covered with a piece of cloth. Tom felt ashamed and rushed out of the school with
lots of anger.
With days passing by, Tom started to dislike his mom more. He did not like to get picked up or dropped by his
mom. He felt that she was ugly and so abnormal. As he grew old, he stopped going out with her to the market or
anywhere outside. Kamala tried her best to make her son happy, got him everything that he wanted and gave him
his space. She understood what her son was going through and felt pity for herself and sad for her son, as she was
helpless.
When Tom turned 16, he was sent to a city high school 80 kilometers away from his coastal village. The very
thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy.
Three years later, then came Tom’s graduation ceremony. His parents didn’t want to be absent from such an
important occasion, so they managed to be there without informing Tom.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
