My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A. Better safe than sorry. B. It never rains but it pours. C. A lost chance never returns. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 5. What was the author doing when water flooded in? A. Celebrating his birthday. B. Sleeping in the basement. C. Placing sandbags by the door. D. Playing with electronic devices. 6. Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A. Making his way to the door. B. Finding a coat rack. C. Keeping the door from shutting. D. Squeezing through the gap. 7. How did the author feel when standing on the street? A. Sad and shocked. B. Annoyed and anxious. C. Surprised and disappointed. D. Puzzled and awkward. C Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, but also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he wanted to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to change according to his age. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a match for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he has not suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 8 What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young. C. He had serious health problems in his youth. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. 9. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To make a living B. To help change his diet. C. To cheer up his wife. D. To recover from illness. 10. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A. He went on a diet. B. He turned to the doctor for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Understanding: A Secret to Happiness D. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport. Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland. All participants were required to answer questions on height and weight sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed(评估) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index,and the average well-being score for all participants was 17. The researchers divided sports participation into low (0—3.5 hours a week), average (3.6— 10.5 hours), high (10.6— 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours).The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores. Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers. The researchers suggest that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can provide information for guideline groups who produce recommendations on sports practice for teenagers. 12. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useless. B. Important. C. Reasonable. D. Harmful. 13. What do the researchers find out? A. To much sport is less healthy than what is traditionally believed. B. Both low and high sports participation help teenagers improve confidence. C. Very high activity groups tend to get higher well-being scores. D. Low spirit participation is proved to be the cause of obesity. 14. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A health magazine. C. A business report. D. A fitness diary. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Measures to improve teenagers’ well-being. B. Concerns of physicians about teenagers' well-being. C. Importance of physical activities on teenagers'well-being. D. Relationship between sports participation and teenagers' well-being. E Research on the effects of age on language learning often leads to claims that it’s impossible to learn a language after the age of 18, yet these claims lack scientific evidence. While certain language processing functions peak during childhood, others develop later, with some even experiencing a new growth between the ages of 50 and 75. The definition of language learning and its goals also play a significant role. If the aim is to participate comfortably in daily social interactions, research suggests that fluency in a new language can be achieved at any age with sufficient study and exposure. Learning a language at different stages of life comes with advantages and disadvantages. Starting before the age of 10 allows for the potential of acquiring a native-like accent. However, introducing a second language to children late in verbal(言语的)development may pose challenges. Between the ages of 10 and 18, there is a unique opportunity to intuitively(直觉地)understand grammar and develop a comprehensive and unconscious understanding of a new language’s rules. Language acquisition during this period can also boost confidence and encourage a reflective attitude towards language changes. Studying an additional language in adulthood involves more translation and a tendency to think in one’s native language first. Language anxiety and hesitation may also arise. However, adulthood offers advantages such as peak communication skills, literary knowledge, and socio-cultural understanding. Learning a new language at the age of 50 and above may be advantageous in terms of certain mental skills that continue to improve until the mid-to-late 70s. This age group can quickly grasp the basics of a language, although more research is needed to confirm this theory. In summary, learning a language is a lifelong process. While certain aspects may become more challenging with age, there is no age limit that makes language learning futile. Achieving an intermediate level in a target language can be rewarding, even if some mistakes are made. Starting early can enhance phonology and grammar skills, but continued exposure and usage throughout life are vital for becoming a comfortable speaker. Ultimately, it’s never too late to start or relearn a language. 16. In which situation can one achieve fluency in a new language at any age? A. In grammar class. B. In writing practice. C. In vocabulary research. D. In everyday communication. 17. Which of the following can we learn about language learning? A. Early learning delays children’s language development. B. Learning during teenage years helps build up confidence. C. Learners beyond fifty can gain literary knowledge quickly. D. Learning in adulthood helps to acquire peak translation skills. 18. What does the underlined word “futile” in Para 7 mean? A. Fruitless. B. Complex. C. Time-consuming. D. Painful. 19. What’s the best title for the text? A. Why Language Learning Has Age Limits B. Why Age Plays a Vital Role in Language Learning C. How Language Learning Occurs at Different Life Stages D. How Learning a Language Changes Depending on Your Age 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good, it is strange that so few people write them anymore.

Firstly, chief executives (主管) running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. ___23___ Secondly, they aren’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks.

In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead, sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding.

You may ask what side effects exactly mean. D. This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff. E. But if these letters are so inspiring, why don’t more managers write them? F.

My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A. Better safe than sorry. B. It never rains but it pours. C. A lost chance never returns. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 5. What was the author doing when water flooded in? A. Celebrating his birthday. B. Sleeping in the basement. C. Placing sandbags by the door. D. Playing with electronic devices. 6. Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A. Making his way to the door. B. Finding a coat rack. C. Keeping the door from shutting. D Squeezing through the gap. 7. How did the author feel when standing on the street? A. Sad and shocked. B. Annoyed and anxious. C. Surprised and disappointed. D. Puzzled and awkward. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次脱险经历。由于连下大雨，使得河流决堤，爆发了洪水，殃及到作者所居住的区域。尽管作者提前做好了“抗洪”准备，但是，洪水的破坏力还是使得作者的家，以及该区域一片狼藉。幸运的是，作者逃生并幸存了下来。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线句以及前一句“Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? (尽管如此，我还是在花园门外的地板上放了沙袋，把电子设备放在桌子上。“傻弟弟！”我的朋友们嘲笑我那么做，但我想，为什么要冒这个险？)”可知，作者做好了迎接洪水的准备，还被朋友嘲笑，but表示转折，因此推断作者认为，这样做应该是更安全，防患于未然，因此画线句表示“安全总比后悔好”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall.(就在我迷迷糊糊睡着的时候，我被哗哗的水声惊醒了，仿佛我正躺在瀑布旁边。)”和第四段的“In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. (光着脚，我开始向唯一的出口走去：通往楼上主楼的那扇门。)”可知，当洪水涌入的时候，作者正睡在地下室。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway.(最后，我终于走到门口，试了好几次，想把它拉开一点，但湍急的水流又把它关上了。我四处寻找能让它继续开着的东西。角落里有一个衣架。我拿过它，再一次打开门，把衣架扔在门和镜框之间，以防门关上。最后，我设法弄出了一个刚好能挤进去进入走廊的缺口。)”可知，在逃生过程中，对于作者来说最困难的是保持门不要关上。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood!(曾经令人愉快的街道现在变成了一片汪洋，到处都是漂浮的废墟，而不是人和车。洪水淹没了附近的人！)”可知，作者站在曾经令人愉快的大街上，洪水淹没了一切，因此推断作者此时的心情是悲哀和震惊的。故选A。 C Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, but also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he wanted to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to change according to his age. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a match for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he has not suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 8. What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young. C. He had serious health problems in his youth. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. 9. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To make a living B. To help change his diet. C. To cheer up his wife. D. To recover from illness. 10. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A. He went on a diet. B. He turned to the doctor for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Understanding: A Secret to Happiness D. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了健美运动员Kanazawa退役后一度养成不健康的生活方式，后来为了取悦妻子重新锻炼，老年又获得成功的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. (Kanazawa在年轻时曾是健美冠军，但在34岁退休后，他完全停止了锻炼，开始喝酒、抽烟，想吃什么就吃什么。)”可知，Kanazawa退役后养成了不健康的生活方式。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. (Kanazawa的妻子经常生病，这位前健美运动员记得，当他赢得全国冠军时，她从来没有像现在那样快乐过。所以，为了取悦她，他决定回到健身房，彻底改变他的饮食习惯。)”可知，Kanazawa为了使他的妻子高兴起来决定重新开始锻炼。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. (年轻时，他每天在健身房训练长达6个小时，经过特别密集的锻炼后，他的身体会在两天内恢复，但现在情况已经不同了。他将每天的健身时间减少到3小时，并开始在锻炼完所有肌肉群后给身体一周的时间来恢复。)”可知，老Kanazawa在重新锻炼他的身体时把放松和锻炼结合起来。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. (Kanazawa是一个活生生的例子，你永远不会因为年龄太大而不能去健身房，实现你一直梦想的身材。)”可知， Kanazawa的故事说明了不能因为年龄太大而不进行健身。A.“健身：没有年龄限制”符合主题，故选A项。 D Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport. Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland. All participants were required to answer questions on height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed(评估) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index,and the average well-being score for all participants was 17. The researchers divided sports participation into low (0—3.5 hours a week), average (3.6— 10.5 hours), high (10.6— 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours).The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores. Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers. The researchers suggest that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can provide information for guideline groups who produce recommendations on sports practice for teenagers. 12. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useless. B. Important. C. Reasonable. D. Harmful. 13. What do the researchers find out? A. To much sport is less healthy than what is traditionally believed. B. Both low and high sports participation help teenagers improve confidence. C. Very high activity groups tend to get higher well-being scores. D. Low spirit participation is proved to be the cause of obesity. 14. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A health magazine. C. A business report. D. A fitness diary. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Measures to improve teenagers’ well-being. B. Concerns of physicians about teenagers' well-being. C. Importance of physical activities on teenagers'well-being. D. Relationship between sports participation and teenagers' well-being. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，说明了参加体育活动与青少年幸福感的关系。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. (来自瑞士的研究人员表示，他们的研究表明，每周14小时的体育活动对促进青少年的健康是最好的。)”和第一段中“But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.(但新的研究表明，青少年运动过多和运动过少一样会对他们的健康产生负面影响。)”说明研究表明每周14小时的体育活动最好，过多也会有害健康，从而推知划线词句“However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health.(然而，他们发现，超过14小时的运动看来对他们的健康detrimental。)”其中划线部分意思是“有害的”。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.(青少年一直被告知积极参加各种体育运动对他们的健康有好处。但新的研究表明，青少年运动过多和运动过少一样会对他们的健康产生负面影响。)”可知，研究人员发现太多的体育运动并不像人们传统认为的那样健康。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.(青少年一直被告知积极参加各种体育运动对他们的健康有好处。但新的研究表明，青少年运动过多和运动过少一样会对他们的健康产生负面影响。)”可知，本文是一篇有关青少年健康的文章，应该取自健康杂志。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第四段中“The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores.

While certain language processing functions peak during childhood, others develop later, with some even experiencing a new growth between the ages of 50 and 75. The definition of language learning and its goals also play a significant role. If the aim is to participate comfortably in daily social interactions, research suggests that fluency in a new language can be achieved at any age with sufficient study and exposure. Learning a language at different stages of life comes with advantages and disadvantages. Starting before the age of 10 allows for the potential of acquiring a native-like accent. However, introducing a second language to children late in verbal(言语的)development may pose challenges. Between the ages of 10 and 18, there is a unique opportunity to intuitively(直觉地)understand grammar and develop a comprehensive and unconscious understanding of a new language’s rules. Language acquisition during this period can also boost confidence and encourage a reflective attitude towards language changes. Studying an additional language in adulthood involves more translation and a tendency to think in one’s native language first. Language anxiety and hesitation may also arise. However, adulthood offers advantages such as peak communication skills, literary knowledge, and socio-cultural understanding. Learning a new language at the age of 50 and above may be advantageous in terms of certain mental skills that continue to improve until the mid-to-late 70s. This age group can quickly grasp the basics of a language, although more research is needed to confirm this theory. In summary, learning a language is a lifelong process. While certain aspects may become more challenging with age, there is no age limit that makes language learning futile. Achieving an intermediate level in a target language can be rewarding, even if some mistakes are made. Starting early can enhance phonology and grammar skills, but continued exposure and usage throughout life are vital for becoming a comfortable speaker. Ultimately, it’s never too late to start or relearn a language. 16. In which situation can one achieve fluency in a new language at any age? A. In grammar class. B. In writing practice. C. In vocabulary research. D. In everyday communication. 17. Which of the following can we learn about language learning? A. Early learning delays children’s language development. B. Learning during teenage years helps build up confidence. C. Learners beyond fifty can gain literary knowledge quickly. D. Learning in adulthood helps to acquire peak translation skills. 18. What does the underlined word “futile” in Para 7 mean? A. Fruitless. B. Complex. C. Time-consuming. D. Painful. 19. What’s the best title for the text? A. Why Language Learning Has Age Limits B. Why Age Plays a Vital Role in Language Learning C. How Language Learning Occurs at Different Life Stages D. How Learning a Language Changes Depending on Your Age 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了学习语言的能力是如何根据年龄变化的。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“If the aim is to participate comfortably in daily social interactions, research suggests that fluency in a new language can be achieved at any age with sufficient study and exposure.(如果目标是舒适地参与日常社交活动，研究表明，只要有充分的学习和接触，任何年龄的人都可以流利地掌握一门新语言)”可知，在日常交流中，一个人在任何年龄都能流利地掌握一门新语言。故选D项。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Between the ages of 10 and 18, there is a unique opportunity to intuitively understand grammar and develop a comprehensive and unconscious understanding of a new language’s rules. Language acquisition during this period can also boost confidence and encourage a reflective attitude towards language changes.(在10到18岁之间，有一个独特的机会直观地理解语法，并对一门新语言的规则形成全面而无意识的理解。在这一时期的语言习得也可以增强信心，并鼓励对语言变化的反思态度)”可知，在青少年时期学习语言有助于建立自信。故选B项。 【18题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章划线词前“While certain aspects may become more challenging with age, there is no age limit(虽然某些方面可能会随着年龄的增长而变得更具挑战性，但没有年龄限制)”及后文“Achieving an intermediate level in a target language can be rewarding, even if some mistakes are made.(达到目标语言的中级水平是值得的，即使会犯一些错误)”可知，年龄增长虽然对于学习语言更有挑战性，但是这种限制不会使得语言学习不成功。fruitless“没有结果的、不成功的”与划线词为近义词。故选A项。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Research on the effects of age on language learning often leads to claims that it’s impossible to learn a language after the age of 18, yet these claims lack scientific evidence. While certain language processing functions peak during childhood, others develop later, with some even experiencing a new growth between the ages of 50 and 75.(关于年龄对语言学习的影响的研究经常导致人们声称18岁以后就不可能学习一门语言了，然而这些说法缺乏科学证据。虽然某些语言处理功能在儿童时期达到顶峰，但其他功能的发展较晚，有些人甚至在50至75岁之间经历了新的增长)”及下文可知，本文说明了学习语言的能力是如何根据年龄变化的，D选项“学习语言如何随年龄变化”适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good, it is strange that so few people write them anymore. At work, a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective. It costs little and has no side effects. The effort involved in writing letters very low. The pleasure on receiving them is very high. ___20___ Doug Conant, manager of Campbell’s Soup Company since 2001, knows the power of thank you letters. He said that every day he works with an assistant, searching the company for people deserving thanks. ___21___ Over the past 10 years he has sent 30, 000 thank-you letters to his employees — more than 10 each day. The reward is huge: his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years. ___22___ There seem to be three reasons. Firstly, chief executives (主管) running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. ___23___ Secondly, they aren’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly, they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation. In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead, sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding. You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you. ___24___ A. He then writes them a thank-you letter. B. Why are thank-you letters so important? C. You may ask what side effects exactly mean. D. This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff. E. But if these letters are so inspiring, why don’t more managers write them? F. Always remember to “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!” G. Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves. 【答案】20. D 21. A 22. E 23. G 24. F 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写感谢信在工作中积极作用，作者通过Doug Conant的例子证明了手写感谢信不需要巨大的付出，但是影响深远，同时提及了很多经理没有采取行动写感谢信的原因，最后，作者倡导如果你想得到别人的感谢，那么也请你感谢别人。 【20题详解】 根据前文“The effort involved in writing letters very low. The pleasure on receiving them is very high.(写信所费的功夫很低。收到礼物的快乐是非常高的。)”可知，该部分的主题应是手写感谢信，因此设空句应承接前文进行总结。选项D“This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.(这使它们成为奖励和激励员工的绝佳方式。)”提到手写感谢信是奖励和激励员工的绝佳方式，是对前文的总结，句中“This”指代前文内容，前后呼应。故选D项。 【21题详解】 设空句在段中，应承接前文内容。前文“He said that every day he works with an assistant, searching the company for people deserving thanks.(他说，他每天和助手一起在公司里寻找值得感谢的人。)”提及“寻找值得感谢的人”，由此可推知，承接此内容，设空句应讲到如何感谢这个人。选项A“He then writes them a thank-you letter.(然后他会给他们写一封感谢信。)”提到会写一封感谢信，在句意上符合语境，且句中“then”与前文构成顺承关系。故选A项。 【22题详解】 根据后文“There seem to be three reasons.(似乎有三个原因。)”解释了原因，因此设空句应是在问为什么。选项E“But if these letters are so inspiring, why don’t more managers write them?(但如果这些信如此鼓舞人心，为什么没有更多的经理来写呢? )”为“为什么”句，与后文在语境语意上衔接紧密，且句中“But”与前文构成转折关系，符合语境分析。故选E项。 【23题详解】 设空句应承接前文，进一步解释不写感谢信的原因。前文“Firstly, chief executives running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others.(首先，运营公司的首席执行官认为自己的工作比别人的更有价值。)”只提到在运营公司的主管看来，他们认为自己有价值，并未就“为什么不写感谢信”进行进一步解释。因此，设空句应呼应前文“自己的价值”和“不写感谢信”，由此可推知，设空句应包含“他们的价值没有得到感谢信形式的肯定，也不会以此方式对待其他员工”含义。选项G“Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves.(因为没人给他们写过感谢信，所以他们自己也不写感谢信了。)”符合语境分析。故选G项。 【24题详解】 根据前文“You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you.(你需要想想有一次有人给你发了一封感谢信，这对你来说有多重要。)”可知，在作者看来，感谢信的意义重大，因此，作为结尾句，设空句应鼓励写感谢信。选项F“Always remember to ‘Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!’(永远记住“你希望别人怎么对你，你就怎么对别人!”)”表达了“如果你想得到感谢信，就要先给别人写感谢信”，符合语境分析，可作为总结建议句。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in northern Arizona, where it has the most beautiful landscapes on the planet.
