About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma (听神经瘤) was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine.
Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does.
Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger.
There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn’t know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.
To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric (古 怪的) singer most people dislike, but I don’t care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.
24.What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness
A.He lost the ability to keep balance.
B.His acoustic neuroma regrew.
C.He underwent two operations in a row.
D.His vision was accidentally damaged.
25.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The author’s efforts to rebuild his disabled body.
B.The author’s self-reflection on his cultural identity.
C.The different attitudes of the author’s family to him.
D.The considerable impact of the author’s brain injury.
26.How did the author find his talk with the boy
A.Reasonable. B.Engaging. C.Life-changing. D.In-depth.
27.What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits’ music
A.Music is the universal language of mankind.
B.Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.
C.Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.
D.Live for yourself, not for the approval of others.
C
In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
28.What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument
A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Tolerant. D.Uncertain.
29.Why do many people try to avoid arguments
A.They lack debating skills. B.They may feel bad even if they win.
C.They fear being ignored. D.They are not confident in themselves.
30.What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Defend. B.Explain. C.Conclude. D.Repeat.
31.What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author
A.Sense of logic. B.Solid supporting evidence.
C.Proper manners. D.Understanding from both sides.

How do we make traditional Chinese culture alive and popular again among young people Livestreaming (直播) has made it. It is not only fun, but has also provided a new stage for traditional culture artists.
On video websites and apps such as Douyin and Bilili, many traditional artists are trying livestreaming for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their hand-made art pieces, while others perform classical music.
Li, 59 years old, is a laosheng(old male role) Peking Opera performer who started livestreaming this year. Unlike performing on a formal (正式的) stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, study room, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “Livestreaming has brought this great art down to earth,” one viewer said. “It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easier way.”
Other kinds of artists also see livestreaming as a new opportunity. On March 26, the third China Huafu Day, Bilibili livestreamed a fashion show. Performers showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles , including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used ancient styles of make-up. For example, one blogger taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉), which was a typical make-up style during Tang Dynasty.
There is no doubt that livestreaming has created a new channel through which traditional culture can be kept alive.
32.We can guess from Paragraph 3 that Li, as a teacher, is ________.
A.Strict B.lazy C.humorous D.scary
33.The writer talks about Li in order to ________.
A.help make Douyin and Bilibili more popular
B.teach where and how to perform Peking Opera
C.encourage young people to perform art at home
D.show traditional artists are using livestreaming
34.In history, the guiye eyebrow can be seen in ________ Dynasty.
A.Wei B.Tang C.Ming D.Qing
35.According to the passage, livestreaming is ________.
A.a TV show to introduce traditional clothes from different dynasties
B.a way to bring traditional culture back to life by sharing online videos
C.a program to give students many traditional Chinese cultural lessons
D.a stage to give performers a chance to take photos of their everyday life
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
Research by psychologist Carol Dweck suggests that there are two basic mindsets that influence how people think about themselves and their abilities: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.
People who possess a fixed mindset believe that things such as intelligence are unchangeable. Those with a fixed mindset believe that success isn’t a result of hard work — it’s simply a result of talents. 36
Those who have a growth mindset, on the other hand, feel that they can change, grow, and learn through effort. 37 When things get tough, they look for ways to improve their skills and keep working toward success.
By taking baby steps, anyone who wants to can change one’s mindset from a “fixed” perspective (视角) to a “growth mindset”. Here’s how:
Acknowledge and accept imperfection in self and others. 38 Our imperfections make us unique. And self-love is a good thing.
Speed is not important. 39 Instead, you fully engage and put effort into the process, no matter how long it takes. By the way, focusing on the process often also improves results, because you did put a lot of effort in along the way.
40 People with growth mindsets don’t believe that failure is a reflection of their abilities. Instead, they view it as a valuable source of experience from which they can learn and improve. “That didn’t work,” they might think, “so this time I’ll try something a little different.”
By choosing to make the extra effort to build a growth mindset, you can make your mental processes work for you, resulting in a greater likelihood that you get the results you’re looking for and live the life you want to live.
A.Believe that your efforts matter.
B.View failures as learning experiences.
C.What works for you might not work for someone else.
D.They tend to give up more easily in the face of a challenge.
E.We all have our short-comings and weaknesses — our imperfections.
F.When you have a growth mindset, the end results are less of a focus.
G.People who believe that they are capable of growth are more likely to achieve success.

Listening to Be Heard
Our P. E. teacher Ms. Lopez had been out with a skiing injury. She was a caring and considerate teacher who showed patience and understanding to little minds like us. So, when we knew she was returning, some of us asked our substitute(替代) gym teacher if we could plan a welcome-back party.
“Sounds great,” said Ms. Green, “We have a few minutes before the bell rings, so you can do a little brainstorming while I put some stuff away.” We were excited and could not wait to let our minds wander. But here came the problem.
“I bet Ms. Lopez would like welcome-back cards.” I said.
“We should have a rock ‘n’ roll theme!” said Noah.
“No, we should make it a soccer theme! What about a cake shaped like a soccer ball!”said Avery.
“Why is soccer better than music ” said Noah.
“I think cards are really important!” I said, louder.
The discussion soon turned into a noisy chaos (混乱). Everyone had their ideas to present and wished them to be realized. Even the “fashionable” kids interrupted, demanding to bring balloons and some fancy clothes like a skirt with orange flowers. It seemed all voices were ignored.
That was when the bell rang and the party discussion ended. I was in confusion and fear for the rest of the day. It was going to be a disaster, and Ms. Lopez wouldn’t even know we missed her.
When I returned home, my little brother and sister were arguing about a board game.
“I know the rules!” Tex shouted. “You don’t have to start over if you land on blue!”
“I know the rules!” shouted Indi. “You get an extra point if you get the flowers!”
I walked over to where they were playing and said, “If you’d stop and listen to each other, you might realize you’re both right.” I pointed to the rule sheet and read them the parts they’d been arguing about. They were surprised that they were both right. Suddenly it clicked—we had been busy presenting our ideas without listening to others.
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。
The next day in gym class, during the party discussion, I asked my classmates for a stop.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, Ms. Lopez was amazed at the welcome-back party containing our various ideas.

26.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.(第一次有一个陌生人像以前一样平等地和我说话。虽然当时微不足道,但它为人们以全新的方式被看待和看待自己打开了大门。)”可推知,作者认为与男孩的谈话改变了他的生活,让他以全新的方式看待自己,故选C。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.(对我来说,脑损伤后的生活就像Waits的奇葩作品。从失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料中,可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石,它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀)”可知,作者认为Waits的音乐作品让他懂得,失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石,它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀,这说明作者意识到自己经历的疾病苦难,会让他更加闪耀,由此可推知,作者从Tom Waits的音乐中学到的教训是:苦难常常会带来新的自我发现,故选B。
28.A 29.B 30.B 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,作者阐述了争论的意义和赢得争论的方法。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段中“This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.(这种对争论的厌恶是很普遍的,但它取决于对争论的错误看法,这种观点会给我们的个人和社会生活带来问题——而且在很多方面,它首先忽略了争论的意义)”可知,作者对于Carnegie对争论的看法持批判态度,故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments.(和身体上的打斗一样,言语上的打斗也会让双方流血。即使你赢了,你最终也不会变得更好。如果争论只是一场比赛,比如网球比赛,你也会感觉很糟糕)”可知, 很多人尽量避免争论,是因为即使赢了他们也感觉很糟糕,故选B。
30.词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“ask them to give you a reason for their view”可知,让他们为自己的观点提供依据,即让他们充分阐明他们的观点,spell out意为“解释明白,讲清楚”,故选B。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.(如果我们重新调整我们对争论的看法——从一场口水战或网球比赛转变为一种理性的交流,通过这种交流,我们都能获得彼此的尊重和理解——那么我们就改变了‘赢得’争论的本质)”可知,作者认为“赢得”争论的关键是通过交流获得彼此的尊重和理解,故选D。

Unlike performing on a formal (正式的) stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, study room, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “Livestreaming has brought this great art down to earth,” one viewer said. “It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easier way. ” (59岁的李是一名京剧老生,今年开始直播。与在正式的舞台上表演不同,李把日常生活中的地方作为他的舞台,包括他的后院,书房,甚至沙发。除了唱,李还以一种有趣的方式教观众京剧。人们可以问他问题并直接得到答案。一位观众说:“直播让这种伟大的艺术回归了现实。”“它让年轻人了解这种传统艺术,并以一种更容易的方式学习更多。”)”可知,李通过直播方式使得传统文化更接地气,使更多年轻人了解传统文化。由此推知,作者谈论李是为了显示传统艺术家正在使用直播。故选D。

39.下文“Instead, you fully engage and put effort into the process, no matter how long it takes.(相反,你要全身心地投入到这个过程中,不管需要多长时间)”强调过程,空处与下文意思相反,故应是关于结果,F项“当你拥有成长型心态时,最终的结果就不会那么引人注目了”符合语境,故选F。

Instead, they view it as a valuable source of experience from which they can learn and improve.(拥有成长型心态的人不相信失败是他们能力的反映。相反,他们认为这是一个宝贵的经验来源,他们可以从中学习和提高)”可知,本段是说拥有成长型心态的人把失败看作是宝贵的经验,可以从中学习和提高,B项“把失败看作是学习的经验”符合语境,故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,文章介绍了一群美国青少年完全用中文表演中国古典儿童剧《美人鱼》的情况。
56.考查形容词。句意:据该剧美国版导演兼制片人Chen Suhan介绍,这15名年龄在12岁至17岁之间的美国青少年从200多名孩子中脱颖而出,花了近两年时间练习。此处用形容词aged作状语,表示“……岁的”。故填aged。

58.考查介词。句意:该剧的成功要归功于中美青年戏剧交流项目。thanks to“多亏”。故填to。
59.考查名词复数。句意:该项目将戏剧和汉语学习结合起来,促进中美两国的语言教育和青年交流。根据空前的“language education and youth”和空后的“between China and the US”可知,此处应该用复数名词表多种或多次交流。故填exchanges。

67.作答示例:
The next day in gym class, during the party discussion, I asked my classmates for a stop. We all want to do something special for Ms. Lopez, but we need to find a way to incorporate everyone’s ideas. “Instead of arguing about which idea is better, let’s find a way to combine them,” I suggested. Surprised by my interruption, the class fell silent and listened as I continued, “We can have a rock ‘n’ roll-inspired decoration with a soccer-themed cake. And for those who want to bring balloons and wear fancy clothes, let’s make sure it fits with the overall theme too. This way, we can include everyone’s suggestions and make the party special for Ms. Lopez.”
A week later, Ms. Lopez was amazed at the welcome-back party containing our various ideas. We incorporated everyone’s suggestions into a harmonious celebration that made Ms. Lopez surprised and delighted. She praised the students for our unity and thoughtfulness, showing the importance of listening and respecting each other’s ideas. From that day on, we learned that to be heard, we must first learn to listen. We strengthened our bonds as a class and made Ms. Lopez’s return truly memorable.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者班级的体育老师Lopez受伤痊愈后准备回来,同学们想要为她准备一个欢迎回归派对,但因为每个人都急于表达自己的想法,以至于场面乱糟糟的,没有达成一致。作者回到家里看到弟弟妹妹争论棋盘游戏,作者建议他俩停下来听对方讲话,最终完美解决了争论。这件事给了作者启发,在第二天讨论时,作者建议大家停下争论,并提议将所有人的想法融合在一起。后来这个派对让Lopez老师非常惊喜,也让大家懂得:要想自己被倾听,就要学会先倾听别人。
【详解】1. 续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“第二天在体育课上,在派对讨论期间,我请同学们停下来。”可知,第一段可以讲述作者讲述了自己的意见,建议派对融合大家的建议。
②由续写第二段首句“一周后,Lopez女士对包含我们各种想法的欢迎回归派对感到惊讶。”可知,第二段可以讲述Lopez女士对这样的派对感到惊讶和高兴,她对同学们的团结和周到表示称赞,并讲述了倾听的重要性,而同学们也懂得了要想自己的想法被人倾听就要先学会倾听别人。
2. 段落续写:作者让全班安静下来——建议融合大家的想法——Lopez女士对派对感到惊讶和高兴——她称赞同学们的团结和周到并讲述了倾听的重要性——同学们也学会了倾听的重要性
