If you like to laugh your head off don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life.
The bond between Mike Randall (born in 1953) and Mark Twain began when Randall started playing Mark Twain at the age of 17. At age 20, he performed at the State Department in Washington, D. C., where John F. Kennedy gave his State of the Union address. And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City.
Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium.
In five decades of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation.
Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. “I have no choice but to accept the challenge,” Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre.
14. What effect would “Mark Twain Live” have on audiences
A. Calming B. Amusing C. Inspiring D. Surprising
15. What did Randall do in the year of 1974
A. He interviewed John F. Kennedy. B. He learned acting at Rosary Hill College.
C. He gave a speech at the State Department. D. He impersonated Mark Twain in New York.
16. Why is Randall’s connection with some organizations and events mentioned
A. To highlight his reputation in the art field. B. To recall his special bond with Mark Twin.
C. To admit his involvement in various activities. D. To show his keen interest in the one-man show.
17. Which of the following can best describe Mike Randall
A. Confident and caring B. Ambitious and humorous
C. Open-minded and independent D. Committed and multitalented
C
The scientist’s job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture” (拷問) nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats (or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.
“One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings — brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.
Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity,” reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction (推論), but by an artistically creative imagination. ”
But others disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discovering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant to reveal them and would prefer to preserve the mystery of creativity, fearing that if it became an object of study it would lose its magic.
But for Allen, this is all part of a bigger question of what lies behind anyone’s behavior. “We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren’t the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said.
“As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we’re only going to make limited progress on these questions,” Allen said.
18. What is one of the mysteries mentioned about scientists in the first two paragraphs
A. Why scientists prefer to work alone. B. How scientists uncover Nature’s secrets.
C. How scientific methods differ across cultures D. What enables humans to perform scientific work.
19. Why does the author mention Max Planck in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a famous scientist. B. To stress the role of creativity in science.
C. To compare different views on science. D. To illustrate what is curiosity in science.
20. What do Allen’s words in the last two paragraphs suggest
A. Human behavior is changeable and unpredictable.
B. We are passively influenced by our genes and culture.
C. Our interaction with the environment makes us who we are.
D. Current technology has revealed a lot about human behavior.
21. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Who Are The Mystery-Solvers B. Scientists Are Not Born But Made
C. Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist D. Solving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist’s Mind
D
Many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (問題)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.
22. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. develop B. recover C. accept D. establish
23. According to the author, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.
A our own opinions matter most B. others will be less defensive
C. our positions are higher than others D. we can turn small issues into big ones
24. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ________.
A. let go of our own rights B. realize you’re wrong
C. expect others to give in D. apologize to others first
25. What is the main idea of the passage
A. We should keep peaceful when facing small stuff.
B. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.
C. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness.
D It’s necessary for us to enjoy our friendship and family relationship.

【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動詞和動詞時態。句意：面對困難的局面，年輕人慢慢地走進房間，緊張地環顧四周，最后深吸了一口氣才開始演講。句中walked為謂語動詞，第一空處使用非謂語動詞，同時the young man與face之間是被動關系，故使用過去分詞作狀語；同時第二空處使用動詞作謂語，與前文的walked與glanced構成并列，故用took。故選D。
8. Though ______ in a small workshop, the furniture looks elegant after ______ with fine craftsmanship.
A. produced; being decorated B. producing; being decorated
C. being produced; decorated D. having produced; decorated
【答案】A
【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動詞。句意：這些家具雖然是小作坊生產的，但經過精湛的工藝裝飾，看起來很優雅。第一空中furniture與produce之間是被動關系，使用過去分詞表示被動關系，與前文的though構成狀語，故第一空填produced；第二空中after為介詞，后接動名詞作賓語，the furniture與decorate之間是被動關系，故使用動名詞的被動結構即being decorated。故選A。
9. The theory he sticks to _______ to be of no use in his new work ______ he finds it hard to fit in.
A. is proved; where B. proves; with which
C. proving; to which D. prove; how
【答案】B
【解析】
【詳解】考查時態和定語從句。句意：他堅持的理論，在他的新工作中證明是毫無用處的，他發現很難適應他的新工作。he sticks to是一個定語從句，修飾先行詞The theory。prove用作聯系動詞時，含義是“被證明是”，一般來說，聯系動詞本身含有被動含義，所以不再用于被動語態。在一般現在時中，主語The theory是第三人稱單數，謂語動詞用單數；______ he finds it hard to fit in.是一個定語從句，修飾先行詞new work，fit in with適應，該短語是固定短語，介詞+關系代詞引導的定語從句，指物，只能用which，故選B。
10. The book, written to ______ readers of all ages, ______ stories that teach important moral lessons about honesty and kindness.
A. fit, containing B. suit, including C. suit, contains D. fit, includes
【答案】C

If you like to laugh your head off, don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life.
The bond between Mike Randall (born in 1953) and Mark Twain began when Randall started playing Mark Twain at the age of 17. At age 20, he performed at the State Department in Washington, D. C., where John F. Kennedy gave his State of the Union address. And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City.
Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium.
In five decades of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation.
Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. “I have no choice but to accept the challenge,” Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre.
14. What effect would “Mark Twain Live” have on audiences
A. Calming B. Amusing C. Inspiring D. Surprising
15. What did Randall do in the year of 1974
A. He interviewed John F. Kennedy. B. He learned acting at Rosary Hill College.
C. He gave a speech at the State Department. D. He impersonated Mark Twain in New York.
16. Why is Randall’s connection with some organizations and events mentioned
A. To highlight his reputation in the art field. B. To recall his special bond with Mark Twin.
C. To admit his involvement in various activities. D. To show his keen interest in the one-man show.
17. Which of the following can best describe Mike Randall
A. Confident and caring B. Ambitious and humorous
C. Open-minded and independent D. Committed and multitalented
【答案】14. B 15. D 16. A 17. D
【解析】
【導語】這是一篇記敘文，主要介紹了Mike Randall扮演馬克 吐溫進行單人表演“Mark Twain Live”的經歷以及他在其他領域的才華。
【14題詳解】

【15題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段“Mike Randall (born in 1953)”可知他出生于1953年，那么1974年時他21歲。再根據第二段最后一句“And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City(一年后，他把自己對這位“著名幽默家”的詮釋帶到了紐約市)”可知，這里的“一年后”是指他20歲在華盛頓特區的國務院表演之后的一年，也就是21歲時，他在紐約扮演了馬克 吐溫。故選D項。
【16題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段“Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium(蘭德爾是唯一一位因其令人印象深刻的表演而被美國革命女兒會正式認可的馬克 吐溫扮演者，也是唯一一位成為著名全國演講者協會成員的馬克 吐溫演員。“馬克 吐溫現場秀”得到了布法羅馬克 吐溫博物館的支持。蘭德爾也是哈克 費恩慶典（一年一度的活動）以及年度馬克 吐溫生日派對和研討會的“官方馬克 吐溫”)”可知，這些組織和活動都具有一定的權威性和影響力，可推理出提到蘭德爾與它們的聯系，是為了突出他在藝術領域的聲譽。故選A項。
【17題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第四段“To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance(為了把自己變成馬克 吐溫，蘭德爾需要在化妝臺前花費三個多小時。卸妝更耗時、更痛苦。但他從不抱怨，努力在每一場表演中都表現出色)”，可以看出他對表演很投入、很有責任心；再根據最后一段“Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. ‘I have no choice but to accept the challenge,’ Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre(蘭德爾在其他領域也很出色。他回憶說，原本應該播報天氣的人請病假了，所以 WKBW 電視臺（布法羅的一家電視臺）的導演堅持讓他來做。“我別無選擇，只能接受挑戰，” 蘭德爾說。之后，他與 WKBW 電視臺簽訂了一份長期合同。為了更好地完成工作，他得到了國家氣象協會的認可。作為一名獲獎劇作家，蘭德爾的戲劇也在布法羅的小巷劇院上演過)”，可以看出他在多個領域都有才華，即他是多才多藝的。故選D項。
C
The scientist’s job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture” (拷問) nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats (or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.
“One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings — brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.
Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity” reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction (推論), but by an artistically creative imagination. ”
But others disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discovering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant to reveal them and would prefer to preserve the mystery of creativity, fearing that if it became an object of study it would lose its magic.
But for Allen, this is all part of a bigger question of what lies behind anyone’s behavior. “We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren’t the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said.
“As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we’re only going to make limited progress on these questions,” Allen said.
18. What is one of the mysteries mentioned about scientists in the first two paragraphs
A. Why scientists prefer to work alone. B. How scientists uncover Nature’s secrets.
C. How scientific methods differ across cultures D. What enables humans to perform scientific work.
19. Why does the author mention Max Planck in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a famous scientist. B. To stress the role of creativity in science.
C. To compare different views on science. D. To illustrate what is curiosity in science.
20. What do Allen’s words in the last two paragraphs suggest
A. Human behavior is changeable and unpredictable.
B. We are passively influenced by our genes and culture.
C. Our interaction with the environment makes us who we are.
D. Current technology has revealed a lot about human behavior.
21. What is a suitable title for the text
A Who Are The Mystery-Solvers B. Scientists Are Not Born But Made
C. Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist D. Solving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist’s Mind
【答案】18. D 19. B 20. C 21. C
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章通過探討科學家的特質、科學研究的動力以及科學探索的局限性等話題，向讀者介紹了科學家的工作方式和科學研究的本質。
【18題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章第一段“The scientist’s job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture” (拷問) nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats (or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.(科學家的任務是弄清楚世界是如何運作的，如17世紀哲學家弗朗西斯·培根所描述的那樣，“拷問”自然，揭示其秘密。但那些在穿著實驗服（或運動夾克，或T恤和牛仔褲）的人是誰，他們又是如何工作的呢？事實證明，這些解決謎團的人周圍充滿了許多神秘之處。)”以及第二段““One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings—brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.(印第安納大學認知科學家Colin Allen說：“最大的謎團之一是關于人類——大腦、教育、文化等——究竟是什么使他們能夠進行科學研究。”)”可知，使人類能夠進行科學研究是科學家身上的謎團之一。故選D。
【19題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章第三段“Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity,” reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction (推論) , but by an artistically creative imagination. ”(要成為一名科學家，似乎需要兩個關鍵要素：探索未知的好奇心和解決未知的創造力。2007年一份關于科學創造力的報告寫道：“科學家表現出更高水平的好奇心。他們更深入地探索基本問題，表現出對知識本身的熱愛。”量子物理學之父之一Max Planck曾說過，科學家“必須具有生動而直觀的想象力，因為新思想不是通過推論產生的，而是通過具有藝術創造性的想象力產生的。”)”可知，文中提到Max Planck是為了說明他的觀點，即科學家需要具有藝術創造性的想象力，即創造力，才能產生新思想，從而強調創造力在科學中的作用。故選B。
【20題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章倒數第二段““We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren’t the fixed products of either genes or of environment/ culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said. (他說：“我們才開始理解，包括我們自己在內生物體的特性，既不是基因也不是環境/文化的固定產物，而是我們每個人都是一個持續互動過程的產物，在這個過程中，我們幫助構建環境，而這些環境反過來又塑造我們。”)”以及最后一段““As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we’re only going to make limited progress on these questions,” Allen said.( Allen說：“只要我們觀察大腦內部的最佳技術需要受試者躺在巨大的磁體周圍幾乎一動不動，我們在這些問題上取得的進展就會非常有限。”)”可知，Allen的話表明他認為我們每個人都是一個持續互動過程的產物，我們與環境互動，同時被環境塑造，即我們與環境的互動塑造了我們自己。故選C。
【21題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據文章第二段““One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings—brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.(印第安納大學認知科學家Colin Allen說：“最大的謎團之一是關于人類——大腦、教育、文化等——究竟是什么使他們能夠進行科學研究。”)”以及下文探討了成為科學家需要的特質，如好奇心、創造力等，以及科學家是如何被造就的，即科學家不是天生的，而是由他們的個人特質、環境、文化等多種因素共同造就的。文章的核心就是探討是什么造就了科學家。選項C“Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist(大謎團：是什么造就了科學家)”既概括了文章的主題，又突出了“謎團”這一關鍵詞，與文章開頭提到的“神秘之處”相呼應。故選C。
D
Many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (問題)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.
22. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. develop B. recover C. accept D. establish
23. According to the author, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.
A. our own opinions matter most B. others will be less defensive
C. our positions are higher than others D. we can turn small issues into big ones
24. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ________.
A. let go of our own rights B. realize you’re wrong
C. expect others to give in D. apologize to others first
25. What is the main idea of the passage
A. We should keep peaceful when facing small stuff.
B. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.
C. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness.
D. It’s necessary for us to enjoy our friendship and family relationship.
【答案】22. B 23. A 24. D 25. C
【解析】
【導語】這是一篇議論文。文章主要講述了我們應該主動伸出援手，向他人道歉，這樣才能贏得內心的平靜和快樂。
【22題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據文章第一段“Many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.(我們許多人緊緊抓住可能來自爭吵、誤解、我們的成長方式或其他痛苦事件的小小抱怨。固執地，我們等待別人向我們伸出援手——相信這是我們原諒或_____友誼或家庭關系的唯一方式)”可知，我們緊緊抓住小小的抱怨，固執地等待別人向我們伸出援手，是因為我們覺得這是原諒或恢復友誼或家庭關系的唯一方式，所以“rekindle”在這里的意思是“恢復”。故選B。
【23題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章第三段“Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (問題)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.(每當我們堅持自己的憤怒時，我們就會在腦海中把‘小問題’變成真正的‘大問題’。我們開始相信我們的立場比我們的幸福更重要。事實并非如此。如果你想成為一個更平和的人，你必須明白，正確幾乎永遠不如讓自己快樂更重要。快樂的方法是放手，并伸出援手。讓別人正確。這并不意味著你是錯的。一切都會好起來的。你會體驗到放手的平靜，以及讓別人正確的快樂)”可知，作者認為我們堅持自己的憤怒是因為我們認為我們的立場比我們的幸福更重要，即我們自己的觀點最重要。故選A。
【24題詳解】
細節理解題。根據文章第二段“A friend of mine recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that.

To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.(我的一個朋友最近告訴我，她已經近三年沒有和兒子說話了。她說，她和兒子就他的妻子發生了爭執，除非兒子先打電話，否則她不會再和他說話。當我建議她主動去找兒子時，她說，‘我不能那樣做。是他應該道歉。’然而，在稍微鼓勵之后，她確實決定第一個主動去找兒子。令她驚訝的是，她的兒子對她愿意打電話表示感謝，并主動道歉。通常情況下，當有人抓住機會主動伸出援手時，每個人都會贏)”可知，吵架后，作者建議作者的朋友主動去找兒子，她那樣做了，結果她的兒子對她表示感謝，并主動道歉，所以作者認為吵架后最好的事情是先向別人道歉。故選D。

主旨大意題。文章第一段講述了我們許多人緊緊抓住小小的抱怨，固執地等待別人向我們伸出援手，相信這是我們原諒或恢復友誼或家庭關系的唯一方式；第二段通過一個例子說明當有人抓住機會主動伸出援手時，每個人都會贏；第三段講述了如果我們堅持自己的憤怒，我們就會在腦海中把“小問題”變成真正的“大問題”，并指出如果我們想成為一個更平和的人，我們必須明白，正確幾乎永遠不如讓自己快樂更重要，快樂的方法是放手，并伸出援手，讓別人正確；第四段講述了如果我們主動伸出援手并讓別人正確，他們將會不那么防備我們，甚至也會向我們伸出援手，如果我們這樣做后他們不這樣做，也沒關系，因為我們知道自己已經為創造一個更有愛的世界盡了一份力，當然我們自己也會更平靜。綜合這四段的意思可知，文章主要講述了我們應該主動伸出援手，向他人道歉，這樣才能贏得內心的平靜和快樂，所以選項C“Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness(主動伸出援手并道歉能贏得內心的平靜和快樂)”符合文章主旨。故選C。

The physician was ________________________ a patient using an AI-assisted robotic system
【答案】the first to operate on
【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動詞。根據漢語提示，表示“第一個”用the first，表示“手術”用operate on，此處使用不定式結構作后置定語，修飾the first。故填the first to operate on。
72. 他的愛好很廣泛，從閱讀到打籃球(他都喜歡)。
Her hobbies are diverse, ________________________.
【答案】ranging from reading to playing basketball
【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動詞和固定短語。“Her hobbies are diverse”是完整的句子，后面“從閱讀到打籃球”在句中作狀語，“從…… 到……”常用固定短語“from...to...”，“閱讀”是reading，“打籃球”是“playing basketball”，表示“從…… 到……（的范圍）”含義的表達為“range from...to...”，這里hobbies 和 range之間是邏輯上的主謂關系，所以用現在分詞作狀語，故填ranging from reading to playing basketball。
73. 被重點大學錄取是她實現成為著名科學家夢想的第一步。
________________________ a key university was the first step towards achieving her dreams of becoming a renowned scientist.
【答案】Being admitted to/ Gaining admission to
【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動詞、動詞短語。所給句子中缺少主語部分“被……錄取”的表達，“被……錄取”常見的表達有“be admitted to...”和“gain admission to...”，因該表達在句子中做主語，使用動名詞，故填Being admitted to/ Gaining admission to。
74. 在畢業典禮上，校長發表了演講，在演講中他祝賀畢業生們取得來之不易的成就。
At the graduation ceremony, the university president gave a speech ________________________ their hard-earned achievements.(用定語從句)
【答案】where he congratulated the graduates on
【解析】
【詳解】考查定語從句、時態。“At the graduation ceremony, the university president gave a speech”是主句，后面接定語從句修飾先行詞speech。在定語從句中，先行詞speech表示抽象的地點，在從句中作地點狀語，所以用關系副詞where引導定語從句。表示“祝賀某人某事”含義的表達為“congratulate sb. on sth.”，因句子表示的是過去發生的動作，謂語動詞使用一般過去時，表示“畢業生”為名詞graduates。故填 where he congratulated the graduates on。
75. 墻角的老鐘輕輕敲響，仿佛是在回應房間里正在進行的輕聲交談。
The old clock in the corner chimed softly as if ________________________ the quiet conversation happening in the room.
【答案】(it were) in response to / responding to
【解析】
【詳解】考查虛擬語氣，固定短語。表示“回應”的短語，可使用in response to或respond to，從句：as if...（仿佛……），表示一種假設，譯法1：從句使用虛擬語氣，表示一種假設的回應關系，與現在相反可表達為：it were in response to，其中it were可省略，構成狀語從句省略句。譯法2：主語“老鐘（the old clock）”與“回應（respond）”是主動關系，用現在分詞形式，即responding to，as if后可接分詞短語（省略主語和be動詞），構成狀語從句省略句。故答案為：(it were) in response to / responding to。

【解析】
【導語】這是一篇說明文，介紹了那達慕大會的時間、意義以及特色運動等內容。
【76題詳解】
考查固定短語和時態。句意：那達慕大會在農歷六月初四舉行，通常持續三天。根據下文“the sixth month of the lunar calendar(農歷六月)”可知，該空處句意為“在（某一天）”，固定短語fall on意為“（節日等）適逢（某日）”，句子闡述的是客觀事實，用一般現在時，主語The Naadam Festival是單數，謂語動詞用第三人稱單數形式falls，因那達慕大會在六月初四舉行。故填falls on the fourth day。
【77題詳解】
考查固定短語。句意：這不僅是蒙古人民的慶祝活動，而且是對他們文化身份的根深蒂固的表達。根據下文“their cultural identity(他們文化身份)”可知，該空處句意為“而且是對……的根深蒂固的表達”，固定短語not only…but (also)…意為“不僅……而且……”，a deep - rooted expression of意為“對……的根深蒂固的表達”。故填but a deep - rooted expression of。
【78題詳解】
考查固定短語。句意：節日的核心是已經流傳了幾個世紀的傳統體育項目。根據下文“the traditional sports that have been practiced for centuries(已經流傳了幾個世紀的傳統體育項目)”可知，空白處表示“在……的核心”，固定短語at the heart of意為“在……的核心”。故填At the heart of the festivals。
【79題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：這些運動——摔跤、賽馬和射箭——體現了蒙古人的精神、反映了他們的歷史、價值觀以及與土地的聯系。根據上文“These sports —wrestling, horse racing, and archery(這些運動——摔跤、賽馬和射箭)”以及下文“values, and connection to the land(價值觀以及與土地的聯系)”可推理出，空白處應填表示“反映他們的歷史”含義的表達，reflect意為“反映”，此處用非謂語動詞形式，邏輯主語These sports與reflect之間是主動關系，用現在分詞形式reflecting。故填reflecting their history。
【80題詳解】
考查with復合結構。句意：比賽中，摔跤手們穿著五顏六色的服裝，這是力量、技巧、策略和尊重的展示。根據下文“is a display of strength, skill, strategy and respect(是力量、技巧、策略和尊重的展示)”可知，該空處句意為“摔跤手們穿著五顏六色的服裝”，這是with復合結構，“wrestlers”是邏輯主語，“dressed in colorful costumes”是過去分詞短語作賓語補足語，表示狀態。故填with wrestlers dressed in colorful costumes。

【答案】Dear Peter,
In response to your letter inquiring about our school’s Lantern Festival celebration last month, I’d love to share with you my experience and thoughts.
The Lantern Festival, which falls on January 15th in the lunar calendar, symbolizes family reunion and the bringing of fortune, featuring a stunning display of lanterns. Our school’s celebration was a vibrant event, starting with an open-air concert. Following the concert was a Charity Fair, where students set up stands to sell homemade crafts and snacks. The money raised was donated to help those in need, making it a meaningful way to give back to the community.
In the activity, not only has it deepened my appreciation for our cultural heritage but it has also fostered a sense of unity among us students. I hope you have the opportunity to experience such traditions in person one day.
Yours,
Li Hua
