Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1 分；共20 分）
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.
Things To Do When Moving House
There’s a lot to remember when it comes to moving into your new home — from all the big physical stuff
right down to the small bits of paperwork — so it’s no wonder that there are some things that get left behind.
Never forget to label the boxes
This might sound like an obvious one 1 when you’re rushing, little things like labelling a box can
easily be forgotten. And although it seems like a small mistake 2 (make), the impact it can have on your
move at the other end can be quite a big one.
Use the correct packing materials
Not using the right packing materials can lead to the fragile items 3 (damage). Boxes that aren’t
strong enough for their contents can easily collapse under their weight, or bin bags of clothes can tear open
leaving your items 4 (litter) all over the floor and at worst broken or damaged.
Another common issue is using boxes that previously contained food stuff that leave a nasty odour(气味)
on your belongings if they have picked 5 up from their original contents!
Take what you need and leave out the unneeded ones
6 you eventually get into the swing of packing, it can be hard to stop - and while that’s good, it’s also
bad if you end up getting carried away and packing things you might need on the day of the move. This problem
compounds if you have ‘helpers’ packing with you 7 don’t know what you want to take with you.
Plan to avoid moving on a Friday
8 the temptation that you could have the whole weekend to sort your home out, Fridays are busy days
for removal companies so you might end up paying a higher price or struggling to find an available mover.
The other risk of moving on a Friday is if anything goes wrong, many solicitors or estate agents are closed
over the weekend meaning sometimes problems 9 (not resolve) until the following week, this can mean
unplanned costs.
Inform people about your move
You’ve completed the most challenging part by moving from A to B, but what remains uncertain is how
many people who need to know you’ve moved house actually do. 10 you should visit the Post Office and fill
in a form to redirect all mail starting from your move date is strongly advisable.
Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.
Note that there is one word more than you need.
A．emergency B．priceless C． destroyed D．fulfill AB．unheard
AC． populated AD．interpret BC． threat BD．protests CD．effective ABC．
outlined
They threw paint and food on the glass exterior protecting famous paintings. Activists said they were
conveying a powerful message — art cannot exist on a(n) 11 planet.
When Georgia B ．Smith recently walked into the Metropolitan Museum of Art on June 24, she felt
nervous. The 34-year-old wasn’t there to admire 18th-century paintings alongside New York City’s summer
tourists; with red marker on her hands and black tape on her mouth, she was there to voice her 12
concerns.
Smith is part of a growing climate activist movement whose 13 center art and museums. Since at
least May 2022, environmentalists with groups like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion have been using cake,
soup, paint, and glue to capture the attention of museum visitors. Each time, their message is simple: there is no
art on a dead planet. But these climate activists say they have no interest in damaging art. Instead, they want to
raise awareness about the climate 14 and attract new members.
“The function of art is for people to be able to understand the world that they live in and reflect on the
human condition, but big art doesn’t 15 that function,” Mukhopadhyay said. “That’s the reason for us to
be in museums: to tell people that we are in the middle of a crisis, and it is the time now for you to face that
crisis.”
Climate change is also itself a(n) 16 to art: Leading cultural institutions, the Foundation for
Advancement in Conservation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, 17 in a June report the
need for “immediate action” to address climate change given how it puts cultural heritage sites, art collections,
and institutions at risk.
Museums, however, say these behaviors are attacks on 18 artworks. One survey published in
November of last year suggested public support of climate protests may drop after demonstrations such as
pretending to spoil art. A larger set of data suggest the art museum protests might be a(n) 19 call to
action, though it’s too early to tell.
Dylan Bugden, an assistant professor of environmental sociology at Washington State University,
researches the way people 20 social movements. “When we talk about climate change activism and
social movement strategy, what really matters is not a one-off protest event and catching people’s attention here
and there,” Bugden said. “It’s building grassroots activism and organizations that can mobilize people to vote, to
protest, to take action. Building that kind of association is what it will take to do something about climate
change.”

Reading Comprehension (21 – 35 题，每题1 分；36 – 50 题，每题2 分；共45 分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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.
Claiming the moral high ground doesn’t necessarily make you good
Here’s something that’s surprisingly common: people who strongly champion moral or noble ideals, but
regularly use them to justify attacking and mistreating others — something that is surely neither moral nor noble.
Isn’t this inconsistent? How can someone loudly insist they’ re a good person while behaving in ways that totally
21 this?
There are many psychological and neurological processes that allow people to engage in this behaviour that
we’ll call ‘virtue bullying’.
Research finds our brains work hard to preserve, and enhance, our self-esteem, which is largely influenced
by our relative social status. A 2011 study found that an effective way to 22 our self-esteem is to attack
others, so our status becomes relatively higher. So, thinking you’ re good while attacking others can be sadly a
very 23 process.
For humans, our morals are a key aspect of our self-image and self-worth, and an important facet in our
motivation and decision-making. We’re innately 24 of our identities and decision-making. If these things
are 25 by morals and beliefs, we’ll be subconsciously hostile to anyone who poses a threat to them. This
can lead to what seems to be inconsistent behaviours. People may 26 think “Being kind and good to others
is important”, but their subconscious says, “And anyone who disagrees is a good 27 .” Hence, we get
virtue bullying.
Human brains are also hard-wired to crave fairness and justice. These have a strong subjective component,
28 , meaning our understanding of fairness and justice, and our morals, are 29 by experience, the world
around us, and the people we relate to.
All in all, striving to be good should be applauded and encouraged, especially because the human brain is
still running on millions-of-years-old programming that gifts us with many subconscious 30 and
prejudices. It requires constant vigilance (警戒) and effort to stick to your moral values in the face of your 31
instincts. And it’s only human to 32 . But when you do, you end up thinking “I’m a good person, but I
did something bad”. This can lead to the 33 , where your actions and thinking don’t match up.
Ultimately, for all the explanations offered here, it really should be acknowledged that some people are
just... not nice. To the extent that they’d use some morally praiseworthy goal or belief as a fig leaf to 34
cruel and bullying tendencies. How you deal with such people is up to you. Who am I to 35 ?

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 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and announced she
was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”, few in the audience would have
wondered why. This Ms. Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and
the audience with the song I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain’s Got
Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn’t hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a house dress, and everyone
— including the judges — seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige.
As soon as she began singing, however, everyone present fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her
incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end.
After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, “Without doubt that was the biggest surprise
I’ve had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now.
That was amazing.” Actress Amanda Holden followed, “I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was
against you. I honestly think that we were all being cynical (愤世嫉俗的) and I think that’s the biggest wake-up
call ever.”
Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the
Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, who between them have nearly 1.5 million
followers, speak highly of her. Kutcher even posted a link to the video clips.
The Scottish talent made her live American appearance via satellite connection on CBS’s The Early Show,
doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host
Oprah Winfrey.
Now Boyle has become one of the world’s hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been
viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube, becoming a hit on the Internet. Not long ago she came to China
and was warmly welcomed.

A method for “reanimating” organ donors’ hearts works just as well as the standard approach to collecting
hearts for transplantation, new trial data shows. If widely applied, the method could increase the heart donor pool
by an estimated 30 per cent. “If we could snap our fingers and just get people to use this, I think it probably would
go up even more than that,” said Dr Jacob Schroder, a transplant surgeon at the Duke University School of
Medicine. “This really should be the standard of care.”
Most transplanted hearts come from brain-dead donors who’ve died due to a complete loss of brain activity,
rather than circulatory death (循环衰竭死亡), in which the heart stops. A brain-dead patient can be declared dead
before their heart stops beating, and this allows doctors to remove the heart while it’s still perfused with oxygen-
rich blood, and therefore not yet damaged by a lack of oxygen. The heart is then washed with a preservation
solution, placed in an ice-filled cooler and rushed to its recipient (接受者).
In the recent trial results, doctors compared the survival rates of transplant recipients who got hearts from
brain-dead donors with the survival rates of those who got hearts from donors who’d died of circulatory death. A
total of 166 US-based heart transplant patients were included in the primary analysis, 86 in the brain death group
and 80 in the circulatory-death group. Six months post-surgery, the brain-death group had a 90 per cent survival
rate and the circulatory-death group had a 94 per cent survival rate, suggesting that donation after circulatory
death, or DCD, is an equally feasible approach to heart transplants.
DCD is made possible by extracorporeal ( 体外的) machine perfusion, which involves hooking up the
donor organ to a machine that pumps blood and nutrients through its tissues. The new trial tested a perfusion
system called Organ Care System Heart, made by TransMedics, the trial’s funder. The system warms the blood
that it pumps through the donor hearts, as compared with other perfusion systems, which still require the organ be
cooled as part of the preservation process.
Although the two groups had similar survival rates at six months, compared with the traditional heart
transplant group, the DCD group had slightly higher rates of moderate to severe primary graft dysfunction (原发
性移植器官功能不良), in which one or both of the heart’s ventricles (心室) show dangerous dysfunction within
24 hours of the transplantation surgery. However, none of the DCD patients had primary graft failure that resulted
in retransplantation, while two people in the traditional transplant group did. Overall, the rate of serious negative
events was very low and similar in both groups, as assessed out to 30 days post-surgery. The new trial involved
multiple medical centres and builds upon previous evidence in favour of DCD, which mostly drew from isolated
cases and small trials performed at single centres in Australia and the United Kingdom.
43．Why is Dr Jacob Schroder in favour of the new approach to collecting hearts?
A．‘Reanimating’ organ donors’ hearts work much better.
B．The new approach standardizes the traditional routine.
C．The sources of donated hearts will be greatly enriched.
D．Patients widely apply for the approval of the approach.
44．The underlined word “perfused” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．spread through
B．portioned evenly
C．perceived lacking
D．draining off swiftly
45．How does a ‘reanimated’ heart compare with one from a brain-dead donor?
A．A ‘reanimated’ heart doesn’t need to be cooled while the other does.
B．The heart from brain-dead donors is more likely to suffer dysfunction.
C．The DCD group has undergone retransplantation due to heart failure.
D．Similar percentage of patients survive post-surgically at six months.
46．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．A Debate on the Conventional and Novel Approaches
B．‘Reanimated’ Hearts Can Be Successfully Transplanted
C．DCD — a Medical Breakthrough with Perfect Effects
D．Standard Heart Transplantation Proves Unparalleled

Directions: Read the following passages. 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.
We live in an era of unprecedented information growth. Downloading all available data today would take
over 180 million years, with over 1 trillion megabytes of new information generated daily. Despite this abundance
and the rise of artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, significant innovation has stalled since the Age of Insight
over 120 years ago. 47
Innovation, whether large or small, begins with a new idea—a moment of insight. These insights emerge
when our brains forge new connections between existing and new information, fueling creativity across fields like
finance, marketing, politics, writing, and production. Within organizations, insights are vital for learning, training,
coaching, and driving change, shaping how we perceive and interact with the world.
To accelerate innovation, we must increase both the quantity and quality of insights. Research shows that
insights arise from subtle signals just below conscious awareness. Practices like taking breaks or avoiding
distractions from social media can enhance the likelihood of these moments. 48 Creating space for
reflection is essential to fostering more insights.
Beyond quantity, improving the quality of insights is crucial. Evaluating and sorting ideas can be
challenging without clear methods. 49 Level 5 insights—marked by intense emotions, motivation,
and lasting impact—hold the greatest significance. For example, a Level 1 insight might occur casually and fade
quickly, while a Level 5 insight, such as a career-changing realization, can profoundly alter one’s life. The scale
evaluates five elements: emotions, motivation, memory advantage, aftershocks, and subsequent ideas.
50 By applying it, organizations can refine communication, marketing, and learning
strategies. Testing messaging approaches with the scale helps identify ideas that generate strong insights,
increasing action and information sharing among customers.
In short, insights drive innovation and address challenges. By nurturing these moments of connection, we
unlock potential for growth and change.
A．However, the constant flood of alerts and content from technology makes finding quiet contemplation
increasingly difficult.
B．Insights are essential for engagement, innovation, and behavior change, making the Eureka Scale valuable for
assessing organizational performance.
C．Similarly, effective learning and leadership initiatives can be measured for their impact on participant growth.
D．Today, we are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data, struggling to identify which ideas can drive
meaningful progress and address society’s greatest challenges
E．The Eureka Scale offers a way to value and foster insights, propelling engagement, innovation, and behavior
change.
F．The Eureka Scale, introduced in 2015, provides a five-point framework to measure insight strength.
III. Summary Writing (10 分)
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.
Is renting clothes greener than buying them?
Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting
green shoppers. But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much
more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated this question and concluded that it’s not as sustainable as
it seems.
Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline
writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after
manufacturing. She writes, “An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each
way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans
purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by
Levi’s.”
Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of
whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting
process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic
(致癌的) air pollutant that is still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon alternatives, although
these aren’t great either.
Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so
easily accessible. There’s something called “share washing” that makes people engage in more wasteful behaviors
precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of
this, advertised as “a way to share rides and limit car ownership.” and yet “it has been proven to discourage
walking, bicycling, and public transportation use.”
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears,
but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There’s an even better step—and that’s
wearing what is already in the closet.
