【原文】On this graduation ceremony I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations to you all. Well done,
everyone. I’ve got three tips to share with you, hoping to make a direction for the future life after your graduation
from college.
Tip one: There are few things that get you over your own crop more than working hard. Do you want to know
how to work hard? It’s not difficult. All you have to do is to listen. Listen to what’s going on around you. Learn
how the project you are working on fits into the big picture. Learn how you fit in. When you truly understand how
the big picture works, you start being able to expect changes and change your behavior.
Tip two: Be kind to everyone. I can’t stress this enough, but it remains true. Kindness will pay back invaluable
rewards. Don’t you believe me? I’m sure that at some point you’ll have the opportunity to work for someone who
used to be your assistant, or hire someone who used to be your boss.
Tip three: Stay interested. Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about? Keep doing it. Interest is the better
part of success. You will be great at the things that you are willing to do.
Remember that you have time to figure out what you want to do. You have time to try again. Just have courage
to do it so long as you’re willing to work hard.
Questions:
11. Whom is the speech aimed at?
12. Why does the speaker give the speech?
13. Which of the following is NOT a tip the speaker share?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
14. A. The benefits of walking. B. The importance of keeping fit.
C. The way of forming a habit. D. The possibility of excising regularly.
15. A. Because it needs much thinking.
B. Because people can improve their memory.
C. Because it is suitable for everyone.D. Because people needn’t concentrate on it.
16. A. It is the easiest way to lose weight. B. It can be made part of people’s life.
C. It can make people’s hearts stronger. D. It prevents people suffering from cancers.
【答案】14. A 15. D 16. D
【解析】
【原文】Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot … you can travel fast or slow. The movement of your feet
gets you where you need to go. But it also gets you so much more! Walking is a basic, simple exercise that’s
suitable for almost everyone.
Walking helps you in many ways. First it makes you heart stronger. Studies show regular walking reduces
your chance of heart disease. Walking quickly for 30 minutes a day also helps control high blood pressure. It can
reduce your chance of developing some cancers, too.
Want to lose weight? You need to burn 600 more calories each day than you eat. Walking is the easiest way. As
people age, their brains don’t work as well. One in 14 people over 65 suffers from memory loss. Older people who
walk six miles or more per week keep their brains in better shape.
Walking helps your mental health, too. Putting one foot in front of the other isn’t difficult. You don’t have to
think about it, so you can concentrate on other things.
You can make walking part of your day. Instead of parking near your house, park a distance away and walk.
Instead of taking the elevator, walk. Make walking a habit, and see how it makes you feel.
Questions:
14. What’s the topic of the passage?
15. Why is walking good for people’s mental health?
16. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about walking in the passage?

【解析】
【原文】W: Hi, Bryan. How are you doing? You look tired.
M: Oh, I’m a little burned out. I’ve been surfing the Net for the last few hours.
W: Were you doing schoolwork, or was it just for pleasure?
M: Well, I wanted to get some information on South America for a project I have, but I found a really interesting
chat site with people from there and started chatting.
W: Well, did you get the information you needed?
M: Yes, but then we spent lots of time chatting about other interests.
W: I see. The Internet is a wonderful place. There is so much information available. Sometimes I find myself
looking for one piece of information, but by the time I have finished, I have lot of more than I started off looking
for.
M: I know. One thing I really don’t like about it, though, it takes so much longer to find things, because many sites
are useless.
W: Yes, there is that, and also, I often find the same site over and over again in a search. That definitely wastes lots
of my time.
M: And of course, there are sites that offer little to no relative information on the topic you are searching for. In my
search today, I found quite a few sites that were nothing more than old event calendars.
W: Well, I’m sure they were useful to someone at some time, but they should be removed when they’re no longer
of use to anyone.
M: I agree. With all the time I spend on it, I still find it to be the best source of information available. And speaking
of information, I really should read though what I got on the Internet and start working on my subjects.W: Okay. Good luck. It’s funny we had this chat, as I was just on my way home to surf the Net myself.
M: Well, it was nice talking to you, and maybe I’ll meet you in a chat room later tonight.
Questions:
17. Why does the man look tired?

At what age do you hit the peak of your career?
When John Goodenough won the Nobel prize in chemistry in 2019 at the age of 97, scientists breathed a sigh
of relief. Many had worried that the committee would not get around to honouring his groundbreaking work on
lithium-ion batteries from 1980.
Goodenough was 21 (old) winner of the world’s foremost research prize. Usually, laureates (获奖者)
are closer to 55 when they pick up the phone to hear the welcome Swedish accent. But it 22 take years
between the publication of a laureate’s career-defining work and recognition from the Nobel committee. At what
age are they at the height of their powers?
The answer has changed over time. Science laureates 23 received the prize between 1901 and 1950
were, on average, 39 years old when they published their winning paper, according to research published in 1957.
But a study of more recent Nobel laureates published in 2019 by Rasmus Bjork of the Technical University of
Denmark found that science and economics winners were, on average, 44 at the time of their prizewinning work.
Differences 24 disciplines have lessened. In the first half of the 20th century physicists and chemists
were significantly younger when they made their big contributions (at 35 and 38 respectively) 25 were
medical scientists (42). At the time this 26 (attribute) to the birth of modern physics at the turn of the
century—spurred by new radiation discoveries, the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics—which set the
scene for younger scientists 27 (make) their mark.Now, however, the ages of peak achievement in each field are much closer, though physicists still tend to be
slightly younger than average. Physicists need fewer papers to make a big contribution, which may be 28
they tend to be relatively young when that happens. They usually win Nobels for one big discovery, whereas
economists, for example, get them for theories they develop over several years, which pushes up their average age.
Regardless of discipline, future Nobel laureates in science are most productive from late youth to early middle
age. Perhaps that is when they find themselves at the sweet intersection of fresh ideas and the means to pursue
them. The median age of first-year PhD students in the OECD, a club of mainly rich countries, is 29. Promising
young researchers who want to start their own labs often get funding around five years after they graduate.
Surprisingly, writers, who depend less on doctoral degrees and grants for lab equipment, also do their best
work as they enter middle age. Some Nobel laureates in literature, 29 ________ Bob Dylan, were chosen
for their contributions over a lifetime. But in cases where the Nobel committee singled out for commendation
individual works, the authors’ average age was 41.
Perhaps people destined to do prizewinning work become happier, and therefore more creative, as they enter
30 40s. Society loves the idea of young talent, but it should celebrate middle-aged talent, too.

The Best Company to Work For
Every year, Fortune magazine publishes a list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For”. Howdoes the
magazine choose the companies? Firstly, it uses a survey: 350 employees answer 57 questions about their company.
Secondly, Fortune looks at important 31 of companies: for example, pay, benefits, and communication
between workers and management. Finally, the magazine must 32 the results to find its Top 100.
Wegmans Food Markets, which ranks No. 1 on the list, has a motto (座右铭) , “Employees first, customers
second”, and it is also one of the 50 largest private companies in the US, with annual sales of $3. 6 billion,
according to Forbes magazine. Apparently, being good to your employees is no 33 to making money.How much of Wegmans’ success is due to the company’s policies? “Up to a point, the success is because of
the freedom they give us,” says one employee. “On the other hand, no company gets rich just by not being 34
to its employees. Wegmans has great marketing strategies and it’s 35 within the community. I’ve been here
for 15 years. Looking back, I’d say that the company’s 36 for customers’ benefits, such as the Shoppers’
Club electronic discount programme in the 1990s, have been just as important as the benefits to staff.”
But the employee benefits are 37 . Fundamentally, Wegmans believes in 38 development. As
well as scholarships, the company gives its employees business opportunities. For years, one employee made
delicious cookies for her colleagues. She 39 started selling the cookies in Wegmans. ‘I just asked the
manager,’ she says. ‘While looking back, I think I should have asked earlier. I could have made more money!’
The staff’s freedom to make decisions is another thing you won’t find everywhere. Essentially, Wegmans
wants its workers to do almost anything to 40 the customers. Believe it or not, an employee once cooked
a Thanksgiving turkey in the store for a customer because the woman’s turkey, bought in Wegmans, was too big for
her oven.

What did we do to deserve cats and dogs? Not only are they super cute and make us smile on a daily basis,
scientists from Washington State University have now proved that touching our favorite 41 friends
gently for just ten minutes is an effective way to reduce stress levels.
In findings published in AERA Open—an open access journal published by the American Educational
Research Association—last month, scientists showed that the general 42 of students improves quickly,
with even those who are highly stressed showing “significant” reduction in cortisol levels—a chemical produced by
our bodies in times of stress.
Many universities have adopted “Pet Your Stress Away” programs where students can 43 cats or
dogs and it appears to be showing both psychological and physiological benefits now.
The research, conducted by Washington State University (WSU), shows that pets improve students’ moods,
and their 44 has stress-relieving physiological benefits. “Just 10 minutes can have a significant 45
,” said Patricia Pendry, an associate professor in WSU’s Department of Human Development.
This is the first study that has demonstrated reductions in students’ cortisol levels during a 46
intervention (介入).
The team chose 249 college students and put them into four random groups and compared the effects of
different 47 to animals. The first group were provided 10 minutes of actual interaction with dogs and
cats. The second group waited in line while 48 others petting the animals. The third group watched a
slideshow of the same animals, while the fourth group had to 49 and was told they would be allowed tosee the animals after 10 minutes.
Salivary (唾液的) cortisol 50 were collected from each participant starting from the moment
they woke up in the morning. There was significantly less cortisol in the saliva of students who had 51
interaction with the pets.
Many universities have started these 52 where students can interact with cats or dogs to help
relieve the pressures of higher education. “We already knew that students enjoy interacting with animals, and that it
helps them experience more 53 emotions,” Dr Pendry said. “What we wanted to learn was whether
this exposure would help students reduce their stress in a less 54 way. And it did, which is 55
because the reduction of stress chemicals may, over time, have significant benefits for physical and mental health.”

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)
（2023上·上海复兴高级中学校考阶段练习）My name is Jaimic Eckert and I’ve been into volunteer work
since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with
community cleanup after disasters. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference for young adults,
which is where I fell in love with my husband-to-be, who was on my team of co-volunteers. Since getting married
in 2013, we’ve been living in Beirut, Lebanon. I actually have an online coaching business but I’ve had many
opportunities to volunteer with projects for Syrian refugees(难民) and youth education.
Volunteering has been a way of life for me for a very long time, and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most
of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I was leading out a project that provided food boxes
to Syrian refugee families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I literally stuffed the
food package with extra treats... dates, nuts, olive oil and sweets. We took the package unannounced and ended up
arriving just as the Syrian family was sitting down on their floor for breakfast.They had nothing more than a few
pieces of bread and a pot of tea. The mother was in tears as she received us. I’ll never forget their gratitude.
Another time, back when I was in college in the US, a group of friends and I volunteered to drive to a distant
church that was way out in the suburb and had only a few elderly members. The building was in disrepair and the
church yard needed attention. We stayed the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and
repair the church. I’ll never forget how new life sparkled in her eyes. She couldn’t repair broken doors or pull
weeds. but her love for us was unmatched. It breaks my heart to remember this old lady beaming with joy for such
small efforts that we made. Sometimes, volunteer work is fulfilling not because of the actual job you get done, but
because of how your presence impacts the people around you.
Volunteering makes me a better person because it gets me outside of myself. It puts my focus on others. Itmakes me grateful for what I have.
56．In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to____.
A．provide an explanation B．introduce a topic
C．reach a conclusion D．propose a definition
57．What does Paragraph 2 focus on?
A．We brought food to Syrian families.
B．Ramadan is the most important holiday season in Islam.
C．Volunteering affects people in some way.
D．Volunteering is a way of Eckert’s life.
58．Why was the old lady happy?
A．Because finally someone came to comfort them in the church.
B．Because she could clean and repair the church with us.
C．Because of our presence and help.
D．Because we made efforts to entertain her.
59．What message does the story convey?
A．Eckert’s volunteer dream.
B．What volunteering means to Eckert.
C．How volunteering has changed Eckert’s life.
D．Eckert volunteers for Syrian refugees.

but because of how your presence impacts the people around you.(我们周末住在一位老太太的家里，这样我们
就可以打扫和修理教堂了。我永远不会忘记她眼中闪烁的新生光芒。她不会修理破损的门，也不会拔草。
但她对我们的爱是无与伦比的。想起这位老太太为我们所做的小小的努力而喜笑颜开，我的心都碎了。有
时候，志愿者工作的满足感并不是因为你完成了实际的工作，而是因为你的存在如何影响你周围的人。)”
可知，作者他们住在一个老太太家中，或许没有能够有什么实质上的帮助，但是作者他们的存在却在影响
着老太太，而这也是老太太开心的原因。故选C。
59．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Volunteering makes me a better person because it gets me outside of
myself. It puts my focus on others. It makes me grateful for what I have.(志愿活动让我成为一个更好的人，因为
它让我走出自我。它让我把注意力放在别人身上。它让我感激我所拥有的。)”可知，在这篇文章中，作者
用自身做志愿者工作的例子讲述了志愿者服务对自己的意义所在，即志愿活动让作者成为一个更好的人，
让作者把注意力放在别人身上。让作者感激自己所拥有的。故选B。

（2023上·上海交大附中校考开学考试）One of the most well-known figures of American history, Thomas
Jefferson was the third President of the United States and the author of the Declaration of Independence. His life
was an inspiring one and at the same time a little bit contradictory to his statements and way of living life, and thus
he has formed the subject of a lot of authors’ books.Jefferson and his time
This is a Biography of the life of Jefferson published in 6 volumes over
a very long period of 34 years staring from 1948 till 1982.
Read it For:
It is an entire collection introducing all aspects of Jefferson’s life in
great details from his childhood till his last days. For history enthusiasts, this
is a wonderful book that will give you insight into the life of one of the most
memorable American leaders.
Don’t Read it For:
This series is a biography and strictly a work of non-fiction. It is
reading about the life of a person and might get boring for some.
An interesting yet strange book, this piece of writing is not an attempt
to shed light on the life of Jefferson but rather an attempt to understand his
mind. Jefferson was one who spoke something but did the complete opposite
of it.
American Sphinx Read it For:
This book tries to analyze Jefferson’s life but does not do it in a way that
criticizes him or idolizes him. This National Award winning book perfectly
balances the act of examining someone’s acts and general behavior and
trying to figure out the reason behind his contradictory statements and acts.
Don’t Read it For:
If you are searching for a book about Jefferson’s life, this is not for you.
It covers a few events of his life, not his entire life.
This Political Biography by Meacham takes you on a journey into the
world that Jefferson lived in and saw it through his eyes. It shows how
Jefferson formed the world around him and handled situations and people to
shape the American political system as it is today.
The Art of Power
Read it For:The depth with which this book is written is
commendable. It is noted that the work done by Meacham in this book puts
you inside Jefferson’s head and makes you understand what it would be like
to be Jefferson.
Don’t Read it For:
While this book shows the genius of Jefferson, it can come off as bias,
showing Jefferson in a very positive light and his opponents in a very
negative light.
60．If one wants to know Thomas Jefferson’s experience in his whole life, ______ is most highly recommended.
A．“Jefferson and His Time” B．“American Sphinx”C．“The Art of Power” D．noneof the above
61．Having read “American Sphinx”, you may ______.
A．learn how Thomas got through his childhood in details
B．understand why Thomas’ words and deeds were not always matched
C．know how ordinary people criticize or idolize him
D．learn how Jefferson formed the world around him and addressed situations
62．One problem about “The Art of Power” is that readers ______.
A．may feel bored while they are reading it
B．cannot get a complete description of Thomas’ life
C．learn Thomas’ political life mainly from historians’ perspective

【答案】60．A 61．D 62．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。托马斯·杰斐逊是美国历史上最著名的人物之一，他是美国第三任总统，也是
《独立宣言》的作者。他的一生鼓舞人心，但同时又与他的言论和生活方式有些矛盾，因此他成为了许多
作家著书的主题。文章介绍了三本与托马斯·杰斐逊有关的著作。
60．细节理解题。根据Jefferson and his time部分中的“It is an entire collection introducing all aspects of
Jefferson’s life in great details from his childhood till his last days. For history enthusiasts, this is a wonderful book
that will give you insight into the life of one of the most memorable American leaders.(这是一个完整的集子，详
细介绍了杰斐逊从童年到最后的日子的生活的各个方面。对于历史爱好者来说，这是一本精彩的书，它将
让你深入了解这位最令人难忘的美国领导人之一的生活)”可知，如果一个人想知道托马斯·杰斐逊的一生经
历，Jefferson and His Time是最强烈推荐的。故选A。
61．细节理解题。根据American Sphinx部分中的“It shows how Jefferson formed the world around him and
handled situations and people to shape the American political system as it is today.(这本书展示了杰斐逊如何塑造
他周围的世界，如何处理各种情况和人物，从而塑造了今天的美国政治制度)”可知，读过 American
Sphinx，你可能会了解杰斐逊是如何塑造他周围的世界和处理各种情况的。故选D。
62．推理判断题。根据The Art of Power部分中的“While this book shows the genius of Jefferson, it can come
off as bias, showing Jefferson in a very positive light and his opponents in a very negative light.(虽然这本书展示
了杰斐逊的天赋，但它可能会给人一种偏见，以一种非常积极的方式展示杰斐逊，而以一种非常消极的方
式展示他的对手)”可推知，The Art of Power的一个问题是，读者无法对托马斯的天赋有一个客观的看法。
故选D。(C)
（2023上海市徐汇中学校考期中）As countless unmade beds and unfinished homework assignments prove,
kids need rules. Yet how parents make demands can powerfully influence a child’s social skills, psychologists at the
University of Virginia recently found after the conclusion on a study investigating the transition from adolescence
to adulthood.
Initially 184 13-year-olds filled out multiple surveys, including one to assess how often their parents employed
psychologically controlling strategies, such as threatening to withdraw affection. The kids rated, for example how
typical it would be for Dad to suggest that “if I really cared for him, I would not do things that caused him to
worry” or for Mom to become “less friendly when I did not see things her way.”
The researchers followed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21, asking the young adults to bring along a close
friend. These pairs were asked to answer questions that were purposefully written to cause a difference of opinion.
“We wanted to see whether they could handle a disagreement in a healthy way,” says study leader Barbara
Oudekerk, now at the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Statistics.
In the October issue of Child Development, Oudekerk and her colleagues report that the 13-year-olds who had
highly controlling parents floundered in friendly disagreements at age 18. They had difficulty stating their
opinions in a confident, reasoned manner in comparison to the kids without controlling parents. And when they did
speak up, they often failed to express themselves in warm and productive ways.
The researchers suspect that controlling parents affect their child’s ability to learn how to argue his or her own
viewpoint in other relationships. Although parents do need to set boundaries， dominating strategies imply that
any disagreement will damage the bond itself. Separate findings suggest that parents who explain the reasons
behind their rules and turn disagreements into conversations leave youngsters better prepared for future
disagreements.
The consequences of tense or dominating relationships appear to worsen with time. This study also found that
social difficulties at 18 predicted even poorer communication abilities at age 21. Psychologist Shmuel Shulman of
Bar-llan University in Israel, who did not participate in the work, thinks these conclusions convincingly reveal how
relationship patterns “carry forward” into new friendships.
63．What did the researchers from the University of Virginia do in their research?
A．They asked kids about how they got along with their parents.
B．They surveyed some parents about what rules kids needed.
C．They inquired into what the kids’ friends thought of them.D．They traced their subjects for nearly eight years.
64．The phrase “floundered in” (in paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to ___.
A．struggled with B．dealt with C．looked over D．took over
65．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Shmuel Shulman thinks more evidence is needed for the new research.
B．Controlling parents’ influence on their kids gets stronger as time goes by.
C．21-year-olds are more eager to be free of parents’ control than 18-year-olds.
D．Kids can handle disagreement better if their parents get along well with each other.
66．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Pushy parents could harm their kids’ social skills.
B．Kids should learn what friendly disagreements are.
C．Parents; affection matters in terms of kids; personality.
D．Few parents explain the reasons why they set boundaries.
【答案】63．D 64．A 65．B 66．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了弗吉尼亚大学的心理学家最近在一项从青春期到成年的研究结束后
的发现，父母如何提出要求可以极大地影响孩子的社交能力。
63．细节理解题。由文章第二段“Initially 184 13-year-olds filled out multiple surveys, including one to assess
how often their parents employed psychologically controlling strategies, such as threatening to withdraw affection.
(最初，184名13岁的青少年填写了多项调查，其中一项是评估他们的父母使用心理控制策略的频率，例
如威胁要不再给予感情。)”以及第三段“The researchers followed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21, asking
the young adults to bring along a close friend. (The researchers followed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21,
asking the young adults to bring along a close friend. 研究人员对18岁和21岁的受试者进行了随访，要求这
些年轻人带上一位亲密的朋友。)”可知，本实验对于13岁孩子进行研究到21岁，所以整个过程几乎经历
了8年。故选D项。
64．词句猜测题。根据第四段“In the October issue of Child Development, Oudekerk and her colleagues report
that the 13-year-olds who had highly controlling parents floundered in friendly disagreements at age 18. They had
difficulty stating their opinions in a confident, reasoned manner in comparison to the kids without controlling
parents. And when they did speak up, they often failed to express themselves in warm and productive ways.(在10
月份出版的《儿童发展》杂志上，Oudekerk和她的同事们报道说，父母控制欲很强的13岁孩子在18岁时
友好的分歧。与没有控制父母的孩子相比，他们很难以自信、合理的方式表达自己的观点。当他们开口说
话时，他们往往无法以热情和富有成效的方式表达自己。)”可知，父母控制欲很强的13岁孩子很难以自信、合理的方式表达自己的观点，他们陷入（挣扎于）友好的分歧之中，所以猜测floundered in为“挣扎于”。
故选A项。
65．推理判断题。由文章第六段“The consequences of tense or dominating relationships appear to worsen with
time. This study also found that social difficulties at 18 predicted even poorer communication abilities at age 21.
(紧张或支配关系的后果似乎会随着时间的推移而恶化。这项研究还发现，18岁时的社交困难预示着21岁
时的沟通能力会更差。)”可知，随着时间的推移，控制型父母对孩子的影响变得越来越强。故选B项。
66．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Yet how parents make demands can powerfully influence a child’s social
skills, psychologists at the University of Virginia recently found after the conclusion on a study investigating the
transition from adolescence to adulthood.(然而，弗吉尼亚大学的心理学家最近在一项调查从青春期到成年期
过渡的研究得出结论后发现，父母提出要求的方式会对孩子的社交技能产生巨大影响。)”以及下文可知，
本文主要讲述父母如何提出要求可以极大地影响孩子的社交能力。所以 A项Pushy parents could harm their
kids’ social skills(咄咄逼人的的父母可能会损害孩子的社交能力)符合文意。故选A项。

（2023上·上海控江中学课时练习）Essential Creativity
In a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the
workplace than they had expected it to be when they were in school.
67 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is
created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what
comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you
are creative in a particular way.
One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. 68
Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’t true: creativity extends to mathsand science in just the way it does to music and literature.
Those who see things differently to others and are confident enough to make their ideas a reality are the ones
who make the greatest changes in the world. Consequently, it is incredibly important that schools do not prevent
creativity. 69 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense.
They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful.
It is worrying that many schools are less concerned now with nurturing creativity when this is the most
important time in history for it. It used to be that people worked hard, went to university, and got a job. That was it.
But now, everyone works hard, goes to university and there aren’t the jobs out there that guarantee a safe future.
70 We can use it to set ourselves apart, and channel it to face the challenges of the future.
【答案】67．E 68．F 69．B 70．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了创造力对人们的重要性、它存在的方式以及关于创造力的一些错
误观点。
67．根据下文“It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is
created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what
comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you
are creative in a particular way. (当然，我们可以扫描人们的大脑，看看当一个想法产生时，是哪些部分在激
活，但更浪漫的是，它可以被认为是一种无法识别的东西。创造力是在你最不经意的时候出现的。你不能
从你的头脑中要求创造力，也不能要求你以某种特定的方式具有创造力。)”可知，我们无法确定创造力的
来源，创造力是在你最不经意的时候出现的。E项“It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.
(很难弄清楚创造力到底从何而来)”，E项与下文的语意一致，故选E项。
68．根据上文“One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true.
(关于创造力的一个误解是，它是为少数特殊的人保留的。这不是真的。)”可知，上文提到只有少数特殊的
人有创造力的观点是错的，故设空处进一步说明“多少人有创造力”，F项“Everyone has the capacity to
be creative. (每个人都有创造力。)”，F项承接了上文， 故选F。
69．根据上文“Consequently, it is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity.(因此，学校不阻
止创造力的发挥是非常重要的)”，以及后文“Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when
things do not make sense. (要教会学生在事物不合理的时候提出问题，进行探究)”可知，学校应当支持培养
学生的创作力。B项“Rather, they should work to expand, grow, and exercise it. (相反，他们应该努力扩大、
发展和运用它。)”，rather表转折，用于提出相反或不同的观点，且选项中的they指代上文中schools，学
校不但不能阻止学生的创造能力的发挥，相反地，还要努力培养学生的创造力，语意衔接连贯，故选B项。70．根据后文“We can use it to set ourselves apart, and channel it to face the challenges of the future.(我们可以
利用它使自己与众不同，并利用它面对未来的挑战)”可知，后文提到利用创造力可以使自己与众不同，那
么本句应当是说明没有创造力，我们和其他人没有什么不同。C 项“Without creativity, we are
indistinguishable from the masses. (没有创造力，我们就和群众没有什么区别。)”，后文中 use it to set
ourselves apart与C选项句意形成对比，上下文衔接连贯，故选C项。
IV.Summary Writing (共10分）

than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
（2023上海交大附中校考）
Art has always been a polarizing subject. Some people like realism, others like abstract. But do you know why
some people value art in the millions, while others see the same piece as little more than a child's finger painting?
Many consider art to be quite random in terms of our likes and dislikes. But according to new research, there
may be a scientific reason behind our fondness for certain works. The answer lies in how a person's brain breaks
down the visuals of a painting combined with their judgment.
To prove their theory, neuroscientist Kiyohito Iigaya and his team from the California Institute of Technology
(Caltech)gathered more than 1,300 volunteers and asked them to rate 825 different paintings from four different art
genres
After analyzing the data, scientists found that the same groups of people tended to prefer similar aspects of the
same paintings. These characteristics were then grouped into “low-level” features like color and blending, and
“high-level” features like the emotion behind the painting.
From this experiment, Caltech's system was then able to predict an individual's specific taste in art and
organize different works into one group, according to the paintings' features and volunteers' preferences.
Finally, the team repeated the first test on new volunteers. Again, the algorithm was able to accurately predict
individuals' art preferences. According to Iigaya, this shows that the factors that contribute to whether a person
likes an image are universal, not random.
Lesley Fellows, a neurologist at McGill University who studies value judgments, stated, “We know a lot about
‘how’ the brain carries out actions, but 'why' is far less well understood.”
71.__________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________
【答案】Art is a polarizing subject, and many people believe that an individual's preferences for art are random.
According to new research, our love of art may stem from how our brains combine the visual effects of painting
with their judgment. This suggests that the factors that influence whether people like a particular photograph are
universal, rather than random.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了艺术是一个两极分化的学科，许多人认为个人对艺术的喜好是随机
的，根据最新的研究，我们对于作品的喜爱可能是源于大脑是如何将绘画的视觉效果与他们的判断力结合
起来的。

Art is a polarizing subject, and many people believe that an individual's preferences for art are random.
According to new research, our love of art may stem from how our brains combine the visual effects of painting
with their judgment.
This suggests that the factors that influence whether people like a particular photograph are universal, rather than
random.
【点睛】[高分句型1] Art is a polarizing subject, and many people believe that an individual's preferences for art
are random.（运用了that引导的宾语从句）
[高分句型 2]：This suggests that the factors that influence whether people like a particular photograph are
universal, rather than random.（运用了that引导的宾语从句以及关系代词that引导的定语从句）

72．（2023上海市洋泾中学校考期中）理解一部小说，是需要些背景知识以及耐心的。 (involve) (汉译英)【答案】Understanding a novel involves some background knowledge and patience.
【详解】考查句子结构。本句描述一般规律，用一般现在时。表示主语“理解一部小说”用动名词短语
understanding a novel；动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数，表示“需要”用 involves；表示宾语“一些背景
知识以及耐心”为some background knowledge and patience，knowledge和patience均为不可数名词。句首
字母大写，故翻译为Understanding a novel involves some background knowledge and patience.
73．（2023上海交大附中校考开学考试）这家餐馆规定，每季度更换一次菜单，以吸引更多顾客。
(appeal)(汉译英)
【答案】This restaurant has a policy of changing its menu every quarter to appeal to more customers.
【详解】考查时态、动词。表示“这家餐馆”含义的表达为：this restaurant；表示“规定”含义的表达为：
have a policy of，后跟动名词；表示“更换菜单”含义的表达为：change its menu；表示“每季度”含义的
表达为：every quarter；“以吸引更多顾客”在句子中做目的状语，使用动词不定式，根据括号内提示，表
示“吸引”含义的词为：appeal to；表示“更多顾客”含义的表达为：more customers，因句子表达的是一
个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，因主语 this restaurant为单数且为第三人称，谓语动词使用单数第
三人称形式，故本句翻译为：This restaurant has a policy of changing its menu every quarter to appeal to more
customers.
74．（2023上海市回民中学校考期中）一听到社区正在招募志愿者的消息，我就等不及成为野生动物保护
机构的一员。(on) (汉译英)
【答案】On hearing the news that our community is recruiting volunteers, I can't wait to be a member of the
wildlife conservation organization.
【详解】考查介词短语，同位语从句和动词。表示“一听到……”用on hearing...，该结构使用动名词与前
文的介词on构成介词短语作状语；表示“社区正在招募志愿者的消息”用 the news that our community is
recruiting volunteers，该结构中使用that引导同为语从句，表示“正在招募”用is recruiting volunteers，此
处使用现在进行时；表示“迫不及待做某事”用 can't wait to do sth；表示“成为野生动物保护机构的一
员”用 be a member of the wildlife conservation organization。故翻译为 On hearing the news that our
community is recruiting volunteers, I can't wait to be a member of the wildlife conservation organization。
75．（2023上海松江一中开学考试）花盆落到楼下的地面上摔得粉碎，差一点砸中一些正在玩耍的孩子。
(narrowly)(汉译英)
【答案】The flower pot fell to the ground downstairs and smashed into pieces, narrowly missing the playing
children.
【详解】考查时态和非谓语动词。句子描述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时。“花盆”为 the flowerpot，“落到楼下的地面”翻译为fall to the ground downstairs，“摔得粉碎”为smash into pieces，“落到楼
下的地面上”和“摔得粉碎”是并列关系，应用and连接起来，“差一点砸中一些正在玩耍的孩子”翻译
为narrowly miss the playing children，此处为结果状语，动词miss和逻辑主语the flower pot之间是主谓关系，
应用现在分词作状语，故整句翻译为 The flower pot fell to the ground downstairs and smashed into pieces,
narrowly missing the playing children.。

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
Knowing that our library is planning to hold an activity called “The Power of Reading”, I’m writing to give
some recommendations.
First, we can set up a reading corner in each class, encouraging students to bring their own books to the corner
and share them with others. In addition, we can also call on students to write their reading feelings and give
rewards to those who submit the best ones. What’s more, a composition competition should be held on behalf of the
library. Every student has access to the competition.
Such activities not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critically. I’d appreciate it
if you could take my recommendations into account.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
