阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
In the tenth grade, my peers gave me a nickname that stuck until graduation: “Dictionary.” It all started the
day my teacher announced a national spelling bee competition.
Determined to win, I opened my dictionary to learn how to spell every word in English. In a 1 attempt
to memorize the most words possible, I began reading day and night.
During the competition, I misspelled one word. The pain over this defeat was so great that — to this day —
I still 2 the word: “graffiti.” However, not succeeding in something I invested so much effort in only 3
my determination to study harder.
Later, my school was participating in a French dictation competition hosted by a nonprofit organization that
gives kids in poverty 4 to an education.
French isn’t my first language, so I 5 the books even harder. I spent all my free time studying. In the
competition, I scored the highest in my school! I felt so proud. That joy was 6 because I knew my victory
was also helping children learn to read and write.
In the final, I took the fifth place. Although it wasn’t what I had dreamed of, it was quite 7 !
Besides the award, I acquired the 8 that I’d use for the rest of my life, such as persistence and critical
thinking. And I found that whether we are generating 9 for ourselves or for others, we never know what
can be the catalyst (催化剂) of a brilliant future. Sometimes, that catalyst can be as 10 as a book.

In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle
7 / 19grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole. Once, I
often found myself amazed at how my students, who brought these figures to life, grasped the essence of complex
literary themes.
But the situation was quite different with their first assignment, which centered on the question: “Why is
literature important?”
Most of the essays were barely a page long, and scarcely any had a sentence that could serve as a strong thesis
statement. I was taken aback. Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have
written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them.
This had to change.
As a new semester began, I asked everyone to craft a reflective essay on a literary work that had touched their
soul. This time, they found the task far more engaging. For the subsequent two tasks, a drama-analysis project was
followed by a poetry-creation workshop. I only stipulated that each piece should convey a deep-seated emotion.
The outcomes were astounding. The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and
poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.
I entered the class believing that literature is important as a mirror of humanity. However, my students
demonstrated something even more profound. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth
of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant
feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.
24．Who are the characters mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A．Senior-year students. B．The author’s relatives.
C．Famous literary critics. D．Fictional personas.
25．Why did the students perform poorly in their first writing task?
A．They lacked writing skills. B．They had a limited understanding of literature.
C．They misinterpreted the question’s intent.D．They had no interest in the topic.
26．What does the underlined word “astounding” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Confusing. B．Impressive. C．Ordinary. D．Frightening.
27．What does the author’s experience illustrate?
A．Literature can awaken deep-seated human emotions.
B．Teaching literature is an easy task.
C．Students prefer creative writing to theoretical essays.
8 / 19D．Classic literature is losing its appeal.
【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作
动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended
a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who
vanished in a black hole.(上学期，在我任教的高年级文学课上，我邂逅了诸多角色：一位守护着被遗忘王国
的骑士、一位用民间故事治愈伤痛的慈祥祖母，还有一位消失在黑洞中的未来探险家)”可知，这些角色都是
文学作品中的人物，即虚构人物。故选 D。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have
written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to
them.(这时我恍然大悟，问题其实出在问题本身上。他们本可以洋洋洒洒地写上很多关于社交媒体吸引力的
内容，但纯粹的文学对他们而言似乎并无重要意义)”可推知，学生在第一次写作任务中表现不佳是因为他们
误解了“文学为何重要”这一问题，觉得该主题无关紧要。故选 C。
26．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays
and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.(学生们
钻研了大量的文学作品，写出了 8 到 15 页长的散文和诗歌，他们的见解开阔了我的视野，激发了我的情感)”
可知，学生们深入研究了广泛的文学作品，写出了长篇的论文和诗歌，这些作品让作者印象深刻，“astounding”
意为“令人赞叹的、印象深刻的”，与“Impressive”意思相近，故选 B。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of
memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant
feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.(当六月最后
的铃声响起时，我带着一整年的回忆离开了，这些回忆让我深刻领悟到了文学最深远的意义——它能够唤
醒沉睡的情感，带我们穿越至未曾见过的世界，并揭示出我们人类经历中共通的脉络)”可推知，作者的经历
说明了文学可以唤醒人类深藏的情感。故选 A。
C
While saying “no” can be liberating to some, for others it can be uncomfortable. Sometimes, society teaches us
the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated (有义务的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to
do in order to be socially accepted.
9 / 19Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels
natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves
sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something
positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive.
It’s also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your
needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your
decisions can directly affect your time and energy.
We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can
challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your
health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking
into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent.
Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also
some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities,
or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in
a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional.
Overall, there isn’t a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your
inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”.
28．What does society think of saying “no”?
A．Understandable. B．Inconsiderate. C．Necessary. D．Indifferent.
29．How can we employ the “sandwich method”?
A．By avoiding anything negative. B．By looking on the positive side.
C．By being supportive before and after rejection.D．By setting permanent boundaries in daily life.
30．What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”?
A．Stick to their own decisions. B．Express themselves flexibly.
C．Prioritize others’ needs. D．Ignore its negative effects.
31．What is the text mainly about?
A．How to satisfy others’ needs. B．How to take care of oneself.
C．The journey of self-discovery. D．The power of a gentle refusal.
【答案】28．B 29．C 30．A 31．D
10 / 19【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学会说“不”的重要性及其方法。文章也强调了设定个人界限的
重要性，并指出说“不”时也要灵活表达，注意自己的心理健康。最后，文章鼓励人们要自信地说“不”。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Sometimes, society teaches us the word ‘no’ is impolite. (有时，社会教导我
们说“不”是不礼貌的。)”可知，社会对说“不”的看法是不考虑他人感受的。B 选项“Inconsiderate (不顾别人的)”
符合题意。故选 B。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Perhaps you may find the ‘sandwich method’ helpful. It is an approach that
involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person
something positive followed by the 'no' and end with something positive. (你也许会觉得“三明治方法”很有帮助。
这是一种把人们可能认为是负面的东西夹在两个积极的事物之间的方法。先对那个人说一些积极的话，然
后说“不”，最后再以积极的话收尾。)”可知，“三明治方法”是在说“不”之前和之后都说一些积极的话，即在拒
绝前后给予支持。故选 C。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so
rewarding, (坚定地做出决定并能够清晰地表达自己的想法，这会带来极大的成就感)”可知，作者建议人们要
坚持自己的决定。故选 A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Yet, there are clear benefits to the word ‘no’. (然而，“不”这个词确实有其明显
的优点。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了学会说“不”的重要性，同时探讨了说“不”的力量以及如何以
一种温和的方式拒绝别人，其中包括如何委婉地说“不”、拒绝时要坚持自己的决定以及设定个人界限等。因
此，D 选项“The power of a gentle refusal (温柔的拒绝的力量)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选 D。
D
Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you’re studying history, asking
yourself the question “why is history important” is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human
civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance
of history.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history
of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥) into our ancestral pasts, and how we
got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that
studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution (演变) of your culture can provide.
History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on
the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people
regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more
11 / 19experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight (洞察力) into why
our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather
strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). We’
re scared of the things that we don’t understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by
offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.
History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It’s
almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts.
Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Look up Charles
Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away
from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in
there for absolutely anybody.
The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don’t have to live in the past, but we can definitely do
better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.
32．People can get a sense of cultural belonging by studying history and _______.
A．thinking about the meaning of it
B．accepting the development of culture
C．analyzing how they get to the present state
D．reflecting on their social and economic life
33．What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?
A．It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers.
B．People are willing to accept foreign cultures.
C．Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore.
D．History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness.
34．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Build Cultural Identity B．Why Studying History Matters
C．Know the Past, Know the Present D．History: a Way to Broaden Horizons
【答案】32．B 33．D 34．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“为什么历史是重要的”这一主题进行阐述，列举了多个理由来支
12 / 19持这一观点，如历史可以让我们了解自己的根源、丰富我们的经验、使我们更具共情能力、激发我们学习
更多等。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is
something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution (演变) of your culture can provide.(许
多人觉得他们需要一种文化归属感，这是研究你的根源和对你的文化演变持开放态度所能提供的。)”可知，
文化归属感是可以通过学习历史，和接受文化演变获得的。故选 B。
33．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can
give us insight (洞察力) into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know
now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually
caused by ignorance (无知). We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand. History has the potential to break
down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.(历史让我们
更具有共情能力的。研究历史可以让我们洞察为什么我们的文化会做某些事情，以及过去是如何将其塑造
成我们现在所知道的样子。它也为跨文化的同理心提供了相当坚实的基础。对他人的恐惧和憎恨通常是由
于无知造成的。我们害怕我们不了解的东西。历史有可能打破这些界限，让我们洞悉整个世界，否则我们
就会感到陌生。)”可知，通过了解其他文化的历史，我们可以更好地欣赏他们的价值观和传统，这反过来又
有助于我们克服文化障碍并减少冲突。这表明，当我们面对来自不同文化背景的人时，通过了解他们的历史，
我们更有能力去理解和尊重他们的观点和习俗。因此，可以得出结论，历史有助于我们提高跨文化意识。
故选 D。
34．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If you’re studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history
important” is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here
that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.(如果你正在学习历史，问自己
“为什么历史很重要”是很好的第一步。历史是人类文明的重要组成部分。你会在这里找到一些能引起你兴趣
的东西，或者让你思考历史的重要性。)”、最后一段“The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don’t
have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more
meaningful lives. (历史的价值不可低估。我们不必活在过去，但我们可以通过从中吸取教训，过更有意义的
生活，做得更好。)”以及全文内容可知，这篇文章讨论了学习历史的重要性，并提供了为什么它是有价值的
几个原因。选项 B“Why Studying History Matters (为什么学习历史很重要)”抓住了文本的主要焦点，即解释
为什么学习历史是重要的。故选 B。
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，共 10 分)
13 / 19根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Over the last decade, STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-has become increasingly defined as
the symbol of development, success, and progress. Incoming college students are increasingly choosing majors like
computer science, biology, and engineering, even if some of them are not particularly interested in those subjects.
35 However, this has subsequently left liberal arts and the importance of the field behind.
36 To answer the question, we need to consider what liberal arts are. Different from STEM, liberal
arts are essentially the broad study of how the world works, assisting with students’ critical thinking, creative
application, and social skills, ranging from topics like psychology and sociology to linguistics and history.
Although today STEM-based education seems to be the most effective path to take for career prospects, liberal
arts can produce just as much success. This is mainly due to the fact that a liberal arts education teaches students
important soft, social skills, including clear and effective communication, error-free writing, problem-solving, and
successful data analysis, among others. 37 Without them, how can a student properly prepare themselves
for a career?
In addition, students in liberal arts possess the most important characteristic of being more human. What they
learn brings them distinctive social insights. 38 It not only translates into more humanized employees in
the future workforce but also provides a significant positive effect, too. As much as AI has taken the world by
storm, it does not take away from the fact that when someone calls customer service, they want to hear a human
voice. They want someone who can considerately help them solve their problems on a more emotional level rather
than just being assisted by a robot that follows a program.
As society continues to evolve, and people’s needs and wants continue to change, merely sticking to practical,
baseline solutions will not work. That’s exactly where liberal arts come in. 39 And that’s the beauty and
importance of liberal arts.
A．Why are students today seeking towards the field?
B．Do liberal arts still matter in a STEM-driven world?
C．These skills are what a good employee should have.
D．Anyway, it seems like the “right” thing to do for their future.
E．This nature generally can’t come from STEM-based education.
F．That’s why both liberal arts and STEM are important for a progressive society.
G．AI will never be able to truly understand humanity as an actual human mind can.

故选 B。
37．前文“This is mainly due to the fact that a liberal arts education teaches students important soft, social skills,
including clear and effective communication, error - free writing, problem - solving, and successful data analysis,
among others. (这主要是因为文科教育教会学生重要的软技能和社会技能，包括清晰有效的沟通、无错误的
写作、解决问题和成功的数据分析等)”说明文科教育能教会学生重要技能，C 选项“这些技能是一个好员工
应该具备的。”承接上文，进一步强调这些技能的重要性，符合语境。故选 C。
38．前文“In addition, students in liberal arts possess the most important characteristic of being more human. What
they learn brings them distinctive social insights. (此外，文科学生具有最重要的更人性化的特点。他们所学的
东西给他们带来了独特的社会洞察力)”说明文科学生有独特的特点，E 选项“这种特质通常无法从基于 STEM
的教育中获得。”承接上文，将文科学生与 STEM 教育进行对比，符合语境。故选 E。
39．前文“As society continues to evolve, and people’s needs and wants continue to change, merely sticking to
practical, baseline solutions will not work. That’s exactly where liberal arts come in. (随着社会的不断发展，人们
的需求和愿望不断变化，仅仅坚持实用的、基本的解决方案是行不通的。这正是文科的用武之地)”说明文科
在社会发展中有重要作用，后文“And that’s the beauty and importance of liberal arts.(这就是文科的美丽和重要
性)”强调了人文学科的价值。F 选项“这就是为什么文科和 STEM 对一个进步的社会都很重要。”起到了承上

第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32 分)
第一节 (共 4 小题;第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分，共 12 分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
At the start of nearly every doctor's visit, chances are that you will be asked to get your weight measured for
that day's exam record - and you would be hard-pressed to find a person whose physician has not brought up his or
her weight at some point, and doctors' recommendations to drop pounds are still extremely common. But many
conversations around weight have become a barrier, not a help, in the campaign to make people healthier.
Higher body masses are associated with increased risk for hypertension, diabetes and coronary disease. Many
studies have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illnesses. But the big picture is not the whole
picture. Researchers have identified a smaller group of overweight people considered to be ''metabolically (新陈代
谢地) healthy'' - meaning they do not exhibit high blood pressure or other diseases.
Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat
people. Some refuse to see these patients at all, as the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported in 2011. Such practices
keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the finding of serious underlying conditions. Not only that but
doctors' appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and they routinely use negative words in their
medical histories of such people. And research suggests that the stress of being a heavy person may cause
metabolic changes that may lead to more poor health outcomes.
To achieve better health outcomes, doctors should focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for
health instead of the weight-centric health care practice. And people of all sizes are entitled to evidence-based
factors that empower them and keep them healthy. Lifestyle changes, such as eating fruits, vegetables and whole
grains, along with increased physical activity, can improve blood pressure, levels and sensitivity - often
independently of changes in body weight.
40．What will you be asked to do when visiting a doctor for the first time? (不多于 4 个单词)
41．Why does the stress of being a heavy person may lead to more poor health outcomes? (不多于 6 个单词)
42．What are doctors expected to do to achieve better health outcomes? (不多于 10 个单词)
43．What is the passage mainly about? (不多于 4 个单词)
16 / 19【答案】40．Get the weight measured. 41．Because it may cause metabolic changes. 42．Focus on behaviors
that have proven positive outcomes for health. 43．Weight is not enough. / Weight doesn’t count only.
【分析】这是一篇议论文。长期以来医院的检查从病人的体重入手，认为体重和很多不健康的结果有关。而，
新的研究表明，超重的人在新陈代谢方面也是健康的。因此仅通过体重判断健康与否是不合理的。
40．细节理解题。根据第一段的 At the start of nearly every doctor's visit, chances are that you will be asked to get
your weight measured for that day's exam record 可知，在几乎每一个医生的问诊中，你都会被要求测量体重。
故填：Get the weight measured.
41．细节理解题。根据第三段的 And research suggests that the stress of being a heavy person may cause metabolic
changes that may lead to more poor health outcomes.(研究表明肥胖带来的压力会导致新陈代谢的改变，这会导
致更多不良健康后果。)可知，肥胖压力导致更多不良健康结果，是因为它造成了新陈代谢的改变。故填：
Because it may cause metabolic changes.
42．细节理解题。根据最后一段的 To achieve better health outcomes, doctors should focus on behaviors that have
proven positive outcomes for health instead of the weight-centric health care practice.可知，为了实现更好的健康
结果，医生应该关注那些已经被证明对健康有积极结果的行为，而不是体重为中心的保健实践。故填：Focus
on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health.
43．主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第二段的 But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers
have identified a smaller group of overweight people considered to be ''metabolically (新陈代谢地) healthy'' -
meaning they do not exhibit high blood pressure or other diseases.(但大局并不是整个局面。研究人员已经确定了
一小群超重的人是“新陈代谢方面的健康”，这意味着他们没有出现高血压或者其他疾病)和最后一段的 To
achieve better health outcomes, doctors should focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health
instead of the weight-centric health care practice. (为了实现更好的健康结果，医生应该关注那些已经被证明对
健康有积极结果的行为，而不是体重为中心的保健实践。)可知，本文主要讲述研究证明，尽管超重和很多
疾病有关，但仅通过体重作判断健康与否是不合理的。故填：Weight is not enough. / Weight doesn’t count only.
