II. Grammar and Vcabulary (20’)
Sectin A（10’）
Directins: After reading the passage belw, fill in the blanks t make the passage cherent and grammatically crrect. Fr the blanks with a given wrd, fill in each blank with the prper frm f the given wrd; fr the ther blanks, use ne wrd that best fits each blank.
Here’s a secret: There’s n such thing as neurdiversity. And yet there is. Cnfused? Let me explain.
I ____21____ (call) “versensitive” fr years my whle life. Peple say I’m a “perfectinist” wh verthinks everything.
But here’s the thing — everyne is different frm everyne else. We all have unique genes, experiences, and ways f understanding the wrld. In the truest sense, we’re all neurdivergent (大脑功能异于常人的).
S why are sme peple regarded as “different” while ____22____ get t be “nrmal”?
I’m a clumnist, and my jb exists because f ____23____ my brain wrks. My verthinking makes me lk deeply int daily experiences ther peple might ignre, which helps me find the truths ____24____ (bury) inside rdinary mments. My sensitivity allws me t see situatins frm many angles, while my perfectinism turns messy drafts int smething peple want t read, ____25____ has actually becme my strengths thugh sciety calls them “prblems”.
My friend Bhan Zhang, a cunseling psychlgist, explains it clearly: “Everyne has their wn lived experience.” The prblem cmes when we decide what cunts as ‘nrmal’ thinking. This matters especially nw when attentin deficit hyperactivity disrder (ADHD，注意力缺陷多动障碍) is ppular n scial media. In his wrk, Bhan ften sees that peple get the wrng idea frm scial media abut ADHD. He reminds us that ADHD desn’t explain all prblems with time r mtivatin, and having ADHD isn’t ____26____ excuse t avid respnsibility. Any cnditin — r talent, r difference — ____27____ (mean) yu must take wnership f it. Yu are always bigger than any label.
Thrughut histry, peple have cnstantly changed the definitin f “nrmal”. ____28____ (nt fit) this narrw standard, thse labeled as different were actually many gifted individuals like Michael Phelps, Van Ggh, and Temple Grandin, wh, with transfrmative ideas and creatins, achieved remarkable success in their fields ____29____ their differences. But here’s the imprtant part — nbdy thinks exactly like everyne else anyway. I spent years thinking I was t sensitive, but in a wrld where pretending sameness is gd, being authentically different is perfect. Yu’re nt brken; yu’re human.
S instead f trying t fit narrw ideas f “nrmal”, questin what “nrmal” even means. Yur way f thinking may be exactly what the wrld needs. Wrk with yur brain, nt against it, ____30____ yur differences will becme yur gift.
Sectin B（10’）
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the wrds in the bx. Each wrd can nly be used nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
A multicultural persn is smene wh is deeply cnvinced that all cultures are equally gd, enjys learning the rich variety f cultures in the wrld, and mst likely has been expsed t mre than ne culture in his r her lifetime.
Yu cannt mtivate anyne, especially smene f anther culture, until that persn has accepted yu. A multilingual salespersn can explain the advantages f a prduct in ther languages, but a multicultural salespersn can mtivate freigners t buy it. That’s a(an) ___31___difference.
N ne likes freigners wh are arrgant(自大的) abut their wn culture. The truble is mst peple are arrgantly mncultural withut being aware f it and even thse wh are can’t hide it. Freigners sense mncultural arrgance at nce and set up their wn cultural barriers, which may effectively ___32___ any attempt by the mncultural persn t mtivate them.
Multiculturalism is a(an) ___33___ that has been neglected t ften in hiring managers fr internatinal psitins. Even if yur cmpany is nt a multinatinal ne, chances are yu’re in tuch with freign custmers r manufacturers. D yu have the right emplyee t build up the ___34___?
Fr 20-dd years, I’ve run an executive-search firm frm Brussels. When clients ask us t find the right persn fr a new pan-Eurpean sales r management psitin, I start by asking them t ___35___ the qualificatins their ideal candidate wuld have. Mst ften they list the same qualities they wuld want fr a dmestic psitin, but with the ___36___ requirement that the new manager be fluent enugh in English, German and French t cpe with faxes and email. It smetimes takes me hurs t persuade clients that the linguistic (语言的)abilities they see as crucial are nt enugh.
Of curse, it’s far mre difficult t ___37___ candidates multiculturalism than it is t check their language skills—but it’s als a far mre imprtant ___38___ t success. I remember a cmpany that asked me t check ut a salesman they were planning t send t Mexic. He’d studied Spanish, and had grwn up in New Yrk City—the mst ___39___ diverse place in America. But when I interviewed him, he turned ut t have n cncept f the great pride Mexicans tk in their culture, and mrever he was ____40____ abut Mexican restaurants and markets being dirty and unsafe. I rejected him just as Mexican buyers wuld have if he’d been selected fr the jb.
III. Reading Cmprehensin (45’)
Sectin A（15’）
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Why are s Many Whales Washing up Dead n East-cast Beaches?
Luna was last seen alive in September ff the cast f Nva Sctia. Scientists had been tracking the 40-year-ld whale fr decades. Like all humpback whales, his tail, called a fluke, had distinctive pigmentatin (色素沉淀) patterns. These are used by scientists as a srt f ____41____. Luna’s fluke had a mn shape, hence his name. Thse tracking him knew every scar and tk ____42____ f new nes whenever they saw him. The next time he was seen was when his carcass washed ashre in January n Lid Beach n Lng Island, abut 40 miles (65km) frm Manhattan and 600 miles frm Nva Sctia.
Whales have been dying in ____43____ numbers alng America’s east cast since 2016. S much s that the Natinal Oceanic and Atmspheric Administratin, the federal agency that mnitrs fisheries and ceans, ____44____ the existence f an “Unusual Mrtality Event” back in 2017. Prir t 2007, Rb DiGivanni, the chief scientist at the Atlantic Marine Cnservatin Sciety, which surveys wildlife and cnducts necrpsies (尸检), said he saw ____45____ whales just nce every tw years. Then it became ne t three a year; nw it is every few weeks. Since the start f December, 29 dead whales, including right whales, whse ____46____ are already precarius, have washed ashre alng America’s east cast. Luna was the tenth f 13 whales t be fund dead n New Yrk and New Jersey beaches. Scientists are trying t figure ut why.
A whale necrpsy is a huge ____47____. The equipment may entail cranes (起重机) t lift the whale, as well as sharp knives t fillet it. In 40％ f the necrpsies, there was evidence f blunt frce trauma r prpeller wunds, which indicates the whales were ____48____ by a vessel, r evidence f entanglement in fishing gear. Sme die f ____49____ causes; thers frm ingesting debris (垃圾碎片). Paul Sieswerda f Gtham Whale, a research rganisatin, said that vessel strikes are the ______50______ f “the butler standing there with a smking gun.” Preliminary findings frm Luna’s necrpsy indicate a vessel was the prbable cause f death.
Whale sightings, particularly f humpbacks, have increased in the New Yrk Bight, which stretches frm the tip f Lng Island t the far end f the Jersey Shre. Like their human ______51______, the whales are drawn t the Big Apple’s cuisine. Menhaden, a kind f fish many whales ______52______, have increased ff the shres f New Yrk and New Jersey, pssibly because f warming waters.
N lnger must peple trek t Maine r Nantucket t ______53______ whales. New Yrkers can bserve them near city beaches. Several whale-watching cmpanies, including in Brklyn, have ______54______.

Sectin B（22’）
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
English is a fun language, and even thugh it’s cnsidered an accessible and relatively easy ne t learn, with 750,000 wrds and spelling that can thrw ff even the mst skilled learner, learning English fast can seem impssible. Take the fllwing tips n hw t learn English faster as yur starting pint and yu’ll master this wnderful language in n time!
TIP 1 ______
Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, yur scial media feed: if it’s in English, read it. Why? Well, this cntent will be full f juicy new vcabulary, as well as a fair amunt yu already knw. This helps yu imprve quickly, as repeated expsure t learned vcabulary gives yu new examples in cntext, therefre reinfrcing thse wrds in yur mind. On the ther hand, learning new wrds and expressins is essential t building yur vcabulary, particularly in a language like English with s many wrds!
TIP 2 ACTIVELY TAKE NOTE OF NEW VOCABULARY
This tip is a classic ne fr gd reasn. It wrks! When learning, we ften enjy a new wrd r phrase s much that frgetting it seems impssible. But trust us, nt everything sticks the first time. T fight this, get int the habit f carrying arund a ntebk. Whenever yu hear r read a new wrd r expressin, write it dwn in cntext: that is, in a sentence and with its meaning nted. This saves yu time as yu wn’t return t that wrd and ask yurself: “What did that wrd/expressin mean again?”
TIP 3 TALK WITH REAL LIVE HUMANS
What is a language fr if nt t cmmunicate? It’s true that speaking a language helps it stick in yur head far better than nly reading r writing it. Just think f hw many times yu’ve heard peple say that they “understand, but can’t speak English” A lt f wuld-be English speakers have turned talking int a huge bstacle that nly serves t psyche them ut. Dn’t be like that. Seek ut native speakers fr an infrmal language exchange, enrll in a curse, r take classes nline.
TIP 4 SUBSCRIBE TO PODCASTS (IN ENGLISH)
Like humr? Plitics? Blgging? Cking? With tpics cvering every interest pssible, there are English-speaking pdcasts ut there fr yu. Subscribe t a few and listen r watch while ging t schl r wrk. At first, yu might find the native accents difficult, but stick with it and yu’ll sn start t understand what yu hear (as well as learning lts f new vcabulary frm a native speaker!)
56. Which f the fllwing is the best heading fr TIP 1?
A. START WITH READING WHAT YOU REALLY NEED
B. USE CONTEXTUAL CLUES TO BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY
C. READ ALL THE PRINTED MATERIALS YOU CAN BUY
D. READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON
57. The phrase “psyche them ut” is clsest in meaning t ______
A. make them discuragedB. slw dwn their prgress
C. relieve their stressD. affect their fluency
58. Which f the fllwing strategies is NOT suggested by the authr?
A. Learning wrds thrugh repeated expsure in different cntexts.
B. Using technlgy t instantly translate any unknwn wrd.
C. Building vcabulary by reading things yu enjy.
D. Overcming the fear f speaking by practicing with natives.

Terri Bltn is a dab hand when it cmes t DIY (d-it-yurself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing tgether furniture, she never pays smene else t d a jb she can d herself.
She credits(归功) these skills t her late grandfather and builder Derek Llyd. Frm the age
f six, Terri, nw 26, accmpanied Derek t wrk during her schl hlidays. A day’s wrk was rewarded with £5 in pcket mney. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much f a help t start with, painting the rms and putting dwn the flring thrughut the huse. It tk weeks and it was backbreaking(劳累的) wrk, but I knw he was prud f my skills.”
Terri, wh nw rents a huse with friends in Wandswrth, Suth West Lndn, says DIY als saves her frm lsing any depsit(押金) when a tenancy (租期) cmes t an end. She adds: “I’ve mved huse many times and I always like t persnalise my rm and put up pictures, s, it’s been useful t knw hw t cver up hles and repaint a rm t avid any charges when I’ve mved ut.”
With millins f peple likely t take n DIY prjects ver that cming weeks, new research shws that mre than half f peple are planning t make the mst f the lng, warm summer days t get jbs dne. The average spend per prject will be arund £823. Tw thirds f peple aim t imprve their cmfrt while at hme. Tw fifths wish t increase the value f their huse. Thugh DIY has traditinally been seen as a male hbby, the research shws it is wmen nw leading the charge.
59. Which is clsest in meaning t “a dab hand” in paragraph 1?
A. An artist.B. A winner.C. A specialist.D. A pineer.
60 Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day?
A. As a birthday gift these years.B. As a treat fr her part-time jb.

C. By splitting the rent with a rmmate.
D. By cancelling the rental agreement(协议).
62. What trend in DIY des the research shw?
A. It is becming mre cstly.B. It is getting mre time-cnsuming.
C. It is turning int a seasnal industry.D. It is gaining ppularity amng females.

What is the place f art in a culture f inattentin? Recent visitrs t the Luvre reprt that turists can nw spend nly a minute in frnt f the Mna Lisa befre being asked t mve n. Much f that time, fr sme f them, is spent taking phtgraphs nt even f the painting but f themselves with the painting in the backgrund.
One view is that we have demcratized (平民化) turism and gallery-ging s much that we have made it effectively impssible t appreciate what we’ve travelled t see. In this versubscribed sciety, experience becmes a cmmdity like any ther. There are queues t climb Munt Qmlangma as well as t see famus paintings. Leisure, thus cnsidered, is hard labur, and returning t wrk becmes a well-earned break frm the tugh experience.
What gets lst in this industrialized haste (加速) is the quality f lking. Think abut an extreme example, the late philspher Richard Wllheim. When he visited the Luvre, he culd spend as much as fur hurs sitting befre a painting. The first hur, he claimed, was necessary fr misperceptins t be eliminated. It was nly then that the picture wuld begin t disclse itself. This seems unthinkable tday, but it is still pssible t rganize. Even in the busiest museums there are many rms and many pictures wrth hurs f cntemplatin (沉思) which the crwds largely ignre. Smetimes the largest crwds are partly the prducts f bad management; the Mna Lisa is such a hurried experience tday partly because the museum is being rerganized. The Uffizi in Flrence, anther site f cultural pilgrimage (朝圣), has cut its entry queues dwn t seven minutes by clever management. And there are sme frms f art, thse designed t be spectacles as well as bjects f cntemplatin, which can wrk perfectly well in the face f huge crwds.
Olafur Eliassn’s current Tate Mdern shw, fr instance, might seem nthing mre than an entertainment, verrun as it is with kids rmping (喧嚣地玩耍) in fg rms and spray mist installatins. But it’s mre than that: where Eliassn is at his mst entertaining, he is at his mst serius t, and his disrienting installatins bring hme the reality f the destructive effects we are having n the planet — nt least what we are ding t the glaciers f Eliassn’s belved Iceland.
Marcel Prust, anther lver f the Luvre, wrte: “It is nly thrugh art that we can escape frm urselves and knw hw anther persn sees the universe, whse landscapes wuld therwise have remained as unknwn as any n the mn.” If any art remains wrth seeing, it must lead us t such escapes. But a minute in frnt f a painting in a hurried crwd wn’t d that.
63. Why did the late philspher Richard Wllheim spend fur hurs befre a picture?
A. It takes time t appreciate a piece f art fully.
B. It is quite cmmn t misinterpret artistic wrks.
C. The lnger peple cntemplate a picture, the mre likely they will enjy it.
D. The mre time ne spends befre a painting, the mre valuable ne finds it.
64. What des the case f the Uffizi in Flrence shw?
A. Art wrks in museums shuld be better taken care f.
B. Sites f cultural pilgrimage are always flded with visitrs.
C. Gd management is key t handling large crwds f visitrs.
D. Large crwds f visitrs cause management prblems fr museums.
65 What d we learn frm Olafur Eliassn’s current Tate Mdern shw?
A. Children learn t appreciate art wrks mst effectively while they are playing.
B. It is pssible t cmbine entertainment with appreciatin f serius art.
C. Art wrks abut the envirnment appeal mst t yung children.
D. Sme frms f art can accmmdate huge crwds f visitrs.
66. What can art d accrding t Marcel Prust?
A. Enable us t live a much fuller life.
B. Allw us t escape the harsh reality.
C. Help us t see the wrld frm a different perspective.
D. Urge us t explre the unknwn dmain f the universe.
Sectin C（8’）
Directins: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Time well spent
There will always be an endless list f chres t cmplete and wrk t d, and a culture f relentless prductivity tells us t get t it right away and feel terribly guilty abut any time wasted. ___67____. And “wasted” time is, in fact, highly fulfilling and necessary.
The prblem cmes when we spend s lng trying t imprve prductivity. We refuse t take real breaks. We put ff sleeping in, r ging fr a lng walk, r reading by the windw. Even if we d manage time away frm the wrk, it cmes with a lming awareness f the things we shuld be ding. The experience is weighed dwn by feelings f guilt.
“____68____”, says Michael Guttridge, a psychlgist wh fcuses n wrkplace behavir. “It’s hard t break ut f that and g t the park.” But the dwnsides are bvius: We end up zning ut while at the cmputer — lking fr distractin n scial media, telling urselves we’re “multitasking” while really spending far lnger than necessary n the mst basic tasks.
Plus, says Guttridge, we’re missing ut n the mental and physical benefits f time spent fcused n urselves. “Peple eat at the desk and get fd n the cmputer — it’s disgusting. They shuld g fr a walk, t the cffee shp, just get away,” he says. “____69____.”
____70____. As Alex Sjung-Kim Pan, authr f REST: Why Yu Get Mre Dne When Yu Wrk Less, writes in Nautilus, utstanding peple including Charles Dickens, Gabriel García Márquez, and Charles Darwin had quite relaxed schedules, wrking fr five hurs a day r less. The truth is, wrk expands t fill the time it’s given and, fr mst f us, we culd spend cnsiderably fewer hurs at the ffice and still get the same amunt dne.
A. Hwever, we dn’t necessarily need t wrk s hard.
B. Even Victrian (维多利亚女王时代的) factries had sme kind f rest breaks.
C. Smetimes even the activities that are meant t be a treat can be spiled by a sense f respnsibility.
D. There’s an idea that we must always be available and wrk all the time.
E. But the truth is, a life spent dutifully wrking arund the clck is a dull ne indeed.
F. And taking time t be ttally, glriusly, prudly unprductive will eventually make yu better at yur jb.
V. Summary writing (10’)
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize in n mre than 60 wrds the main idea f the passage and hw it is illustrated. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
A Wrkahlic Ecnmy
Althugh the utput per hur f wrk has mre than dubled since 1945, leisure seems reserved largely fr the unemplyed and underemplyed. Thse wh wrk full-time spend as much time n the jb as they did at the end f Wrld War Ⅱ. In fact, wrking hurs have increased nticeably since 1970. Bkstres nw abund with manuals describing hw t manage time and cpe with stress.
There are mainly tw reasns fr lst leisure.
Since 1970, cmpanies have respnded t imprvements in the business climate by having emplyees wrk vertime rather than by hiring extra persnnel. Sme firms are even dwnsizing as their prfits climb. A hst f factrs pushes emplyers t hire fewer wrkers fr mre hurs and, at the same time, cmpels wrkers t spend mre time n the jb. Mst f thse incentives(诱因) invlve the structure f cmpensatin(报酬). The way salaries and benefits are rganized makes it mre prfitable t ask 40 emplyees t labr an extra hur each than t hire ne mre wrker t d the same 40-hur jb. Once peple are n salary, their cst t a firm is the same whether they spend 35 hurs a week in the ffice r 70. Therefre, it is mre prfitable fr emplyers t wrk their existing emplyees harder.
