We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn.We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again.Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay aheadHere, we were the expert architects doing the assembling, but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result.Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it.4. Which can best describe the author’s experience of building the Lego modelA．Simple and uninteresting.B．Imaginative and enjoyable.C．Complicated and rewarding.D．Challenging and discouraging.5. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego modelA．Life requires to be planned carefully.B．Life doesn’t come with clear guidance.C．Mistakes in life can always be corrected.D．Life’s uncertainty makes it more exciting.6. How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in lifeA．By avoiding making any choice.B．By focusing on instant end results.C．By seeking instructions from others.D．By moving forward with confidence.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA．Lego: A Symbol of Family BondB．Building with Lego: Lessons for LifeC．The Complexity of Architectural ModelsD．Life: A Journey Without InstructionsCPeople experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase (购买) from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift—an item you don’t have to pay for at all!As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax. This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase.Curiously, it’s not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift (or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation.For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She’s got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn’t think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear. Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account.Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn’t matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free.The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner’s secret wants and guilty pleasures Unfortunately, that’s the one question you need to answer yourself.8. What does the moral tax refer to in the textA．The guilt of receiving an expensive gift.B．The problems caused by overspending.C．The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase.D．The emotional pain coming from spending money.9. Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herselfA．She has got a similar pair. B．She is influenced by the moral tax.C．She decides to put off satisfaction. D．She only wants to use her husband’s money.10. What may an economist think of Anne’s excitementA．Unreasonable. B．Unreal. C．Interesting. D．Expected.11. What do the experts suggest about the best giftsA．They should be practical and useful.B．They should be expensive to show appreciation.C．They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt.D．They should be items that don’t cost people too much but are meaningful.DScientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far.To solve this perennial puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information.If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species.12. What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1A．They can only be heard in the deep ocean.B．They are simple signals for daily communication.C．They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained.D．They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns.13. What does the underlined word “perennial” meanA．long-standing B．wide-rangingC．far-reaching D．deep-rooted14. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus onA．The importance of large language models.B．The role AI plays in studying whale codas.C．The process of collecting whale recordings.D．The achievements in whale protection research.15. What does the author say about Project CETIA．It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence.B．It aims to make whale research a separate discipline.C．It may improve human understanding of animal language.D．It helps develop advanced underwater recording devices.七选五Friendship and personalityWhile some aspects of making friends are universal — like the need for trust and genuine connection — how we get there can look very different from person to person. ____16____ Some, however, prefer private coffee dates. Actually, there’s no one-size-fits-all (通用的) approach. And that’s great news. Let’s explore how different personalities can shape making friends in adulthood.Find your social pattern.Introverts (内向者) typically build their strongest connections in quieter, more personal settings. Extroverts (外向者), on the other hand, often make friends through interesting conversations and group activities. ____17____ And here’s why: they’re just different paths to finding meaningful friendships.____18____Everyone processes emotions differently, as we can see in the distinction between Thinking and Feeling personality types. Thinking types might show friendship through acts of practical support or by engaging in shared interests, while Feeling types often express connection through acknowledgement of feelings and heart-to-heart conversations.Balance your social approach.Some people often bring thoughtfulness to new relationships. ____19____ However, this self-reflection can turn into self-doubt and social anxiety. On the other hand, others approach new friendships with more immediate confidence, which can help them fearlessly form new bonds.These are just a few examples of how personality shapes our friendship styles. ____20____ Often, how we process information or structure our social lives also matters. Ultimately, the key to success is finding friendship strategies that are in tune with your natural tendencies.A．Build bonds your way.B．Neither approach is better!C．There are several other aspects (方面).D．Avoid taking bad experiences personally.E．Some people shine in large social gatherings.F．Some need daily social interaction to feel energized.G．They take time to consider social interactions carefully.二、完形填空I’ve grown used to the pause when someone hears my name — Goodluck.

The streets were dotted with fresh green bamboo leaves, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of mugwort (艾蒿), announcing the arrival of the traditional festival.Seventeen-year-old Ethan, who had lived in the United States with his parents since childhood, was sent back to his hometown to spend the festival with his grandfather. Having grown up immersed in Western culture, Ethan held a strong sense of indifference towards traditional Chinese festivals. He regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as nothing but an old, outdated custom, far less attractive than Western carnivals and parties. All he wanted to do was stay in his room, scrolling through social media or playing online games, showing no interest in the festive atmosphere around him.Grandfather was a well-known local inheritor of traditional zongzi-making skills, and he had been eagerly looking forward to Ethan’s return, hoping to pass on the family craft and help his grandson connect with his cultural roots. He specially picked fresh bamboo leaves, prepared high-quality glutinous rice, sweet red beans and salty egg yolks, and invited Ethan to make zongzi with him.However, Ethan frowned and refused rudely without a second thought. He complained that making zongzi was tedious (冗长的) and time-consuming, and couldn’t understand why people still stuck to such old customs. Hearing his words, Grandfather’s smile faded away, and a deep sense of disappointment crossed his wrinkled face. He silently carried the ingredients to the courtyard, sitting alone on the stone bench, slowly folding the bamboo leaves.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1:Watching Grandfather’s bent back in the courtyard, Ethan was seized with a complicated mixture of guilt and hesitation.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案阅读理解1-15 BACCB DBADC CAABC七选五16-20 EBAGC完形填空21-35 DCCBA DCADB CBBAA语法填空36.which 37.between 38.greatly 39.Participants 40.attracting41.communication 42.have adapted 43.an pared 45.hopeful46.书信范文Dear Chris,I’m writing to invite you to take part in our school’s themed activity Traditional Chinese Culture Meets the Digital Age.The activity will be held in our school hall from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm next Friday.

He realized he had hurt his grandfather’s feelings with his rude words. Feeling ashamed, he walked quietly to his grandfather and apologized sincerely. He asked if he could learn to make zongzi together with him. A gentle smile returned to Grandfather’s face. Patiently, Grandfather taught Ethan every step, from folding bamboo leaves to filling glutinous rice. Ethan listened carefully and practiced earnestly, enjoying the peaceful moment with his grandfather.As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply. Holding the zongzi he made by himself, Ethan felt a strong sense of pride and joy. He finally understood that traditional customs carried precious family affection and cultural heritage. From that day on, Ethan fell in love with traditional Chinese festivals. He promised to learn more traditional crafts and pass down the precious cultural heritage.
