The lights go down, music plays, and a young woman on a bike at the front of the class encourages students to spin faster and harder. When the lights go back on, the students on the bikes pullout their notebooks, and it’s clear that this is not Soul Cycle. Instead, it’s a first-of-its-kind business school course at Fordham University that is taught on spin bikes in a university.
“It’s the first class that I mention to anybody when anybody asks me what classes I’m taking,” said Amanda Vopat, 22, a business administration major. “I think people are really excited about it.”
The 75-minute, twice-weekly course is the brainchild of Jul it a Haber, a business school professor at Fordham. “I have been introducing movement and fitness in my classes for the past seven years,” she said. “I found the spin class would really allow students to exercise while a professor lectures at the same time.”
The course the students are taking while cycling is no joke. Managing Professional Relationships is an upper-level business school course taken primarily by juniors and seniors. The students are fully instrumental in each class, selecting the music, leading stretches before and after class and leading the intervals during the class.
Haber stops her lecture every 20 minutes throughout the class. While one student turns off the lights, another student turns up the music and a third student goes to a bike in the front of the class to lead their classmates in high-intensity interval that lasts two to three minutes, just enough to re-energize the students.
“It’s a fantastic way of engaging students and as a professor, as a teacher, that’s really gratifying.” she said. “They don’t have their smartphones, and they don’t have laptops so they are physically engaged and also mentally engaged in what is being said.”
The course is the first of its kind at Fordham, and Haber believes it is also a first across the United States. She has authored research on the unique classroom approach, which she calls fitness integrated learning.
Donna Rapaccioli, the head of Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business, described how students were “energized” by the class and said Fordham was open to expanding it to other courses. “Definitely,” Rapaccioli answered when asked if Haber’s course represents the future of learning.
4. Why are the lights adjusted now and then during the session?
A. To create a tense atmosphere.
B. To warn the students to work harder.
C. To remind the students of their activity.
D. To call the students’ attention on notebooks.
5. What can best describe Professor Haber?
A. Ambitious and smart. B. Hardworking and cheerful.
C. Creative and open-minded. D. Confident and humorous.
6. What is the new course aimed at?
A. Arousing the students’ interest.
B. Grabbing the student’s full attention.
C. Conducting a national research.
D. Creating a new future of learning.
7. What was the author’s purpose in quoting Rap accioli?
A. To tell the future of Haber’s course.
B. To show the success of Haber’s course.
C. To compare Haber’s course with others’.
D. To promote the popularity of Haber’s course.

A traditional Chinese medicine has been shown to be effective at reducing complications following a heart attack after a large-scale, clinical trial. The medicine, known as tongxinluo, is made of extracts derived from seven herbs and various animals. The compound, whose name means “to open the network of the heart,” has long been used as a traditional Chinese treatment for patients who have had heart attacks and/or strokes (中风).Based on promising results in cellular (细胞的) and animal models, the State Food and Drug Administration of China approved its use for the treatment of stroke and angina pectoris—a heart condition characterized by reoccurring chest pain-in 1996.
The latest study, which has been published in JAMA, represents one of the first times that a traditional Chinese medicine has been tested in a large-scale, Western-style clinical trial.
The authors of the study, who include researchers from several Chinese universities and hospitals, in collaboration with experts from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center-found that tongxinluo reduced the risk of heart attacks (known as myocardial infarctions), deaths and other major cardiovascular complications for at least a year after a first heart attack.
Matthew Saybolt, a cardiologist with the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center who was not involved in the latest study, told Newsweek that he found the latest research “compelling” after reviewing the paper. “I am not aware of any other large, well-run trials like this studying traditional Chinese medicine. This is a rarely run type of study, and I congratulate the authors for their work and publication in such a prestigious medical journal,” Saybolt said. The study involved 3,777 patients at 124 clinical centers in China who had suffered the most severe form of heart attack-known as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, or STEMI.
Saybolt said he also observed some weaknesses in the way the study was conducted, one of which was that the participants were entirely Chinese citizens and predominantly male. “Thus the findings may not be generalizable throughout the world or to women,” he said. “Furthermore, the patients were less frequently-compared to the United States, for example-treated with traditional proven medicine after their myocardial infarctions. Therefore, the effect of the Chinese medicine may have been enlarged, by the lack of patient exposure to proven therapies.
Further research will be needed to address these matters, and the benefits shown in this study would need to be copied in other populations before the treatment could get approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration.
8. Why did the Chinese authority approve the use of tongxinluo?
A. Because it is made of the essence from seven herbs and animals.
B. Because it has already been used in traditional Chinese medicine.
C. Because it has been published in Western-style journals and magazines.
D. Because it has had effective results in treating patients with heart attacks and strokes.
9. What was the limitation of the study?
A. The authors have only worked with one university.
B. The research subjects are mainly Chinese male.
C. The American patients used the unproved medicine.
D. The expert Matthew Saybolt did not participate in the study.
10. What is Saybolt’s attitude towards the study?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic.
C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Improvements of the study. B. Weaknesses of the study.
C. Results of the study. D. Benefits of the study.
D
People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents (倡导者) of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”.
Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.
Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B.E. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.
The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.
Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.
12. What will the proponents of the “nurture” theory agree with?
A. Peter loves talking to strangers because he is friendly.
B. Peter loves maths because his father is a maths professor.
C. Peter loves detective stories because he enjoys suspense and thrill.
D. Peter loves tea because his mother gave it to him since childhood.
13. The underlined word “mechanistic” in paragraph 4 means .
A. flexible B. rigid C. common D. new
14. Why did the author cite the blacks in the US as an example?
A. He wanted to show how the theories have deeply affected the society.
B. He tried to prove that both theories need further discussion and research.
C. He intended to demonstrate why the blacks need more education and support.
D. He attempted to introduce the result of intelligence tests from blacks and whites.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce some theories. B. To explain a social issue.
C. To solve a racial problem. D. To give further suggestions.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. ____16____. For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog (目录).
Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. ____17____. Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna, and most recently, road-tripped through three states.
____18____. After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy. “____19____,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’ Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word. ____20____.
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving
D. That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws
E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun
F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents
G. There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests

Mica came into my life in 2012. When I heard that a ____21____ dog had been dumped by her family at a shelter, I turned to Iske. “Look,” I said, “a dog your age, ____22____ at the shelter. Can we adopt her?” Iske’s tail thumped (击打). Her approval ____23____ a lot.
After all, I may have adopted Iske, but actually she’s the one that rescued me—through a heartbreaking ____24____ and single parenthood, Iske had been my rock. ____25____, I learned from Iske, is a two-way street. And now it was time to ____26____
A few e-mails and a transport miracle later, Mica arrived. Unlike Iske, Mica had a tough time adjusting—She refused to be ____27____, walking away from all affection. She missed her family, ____28____ as it was. We loved her and hoped her heart would ____29____ enough to let us in.
After a few weeks of training and bonding, I decided to take her for a short hike. She had _____30_____ her name and came when I called her, so I weighed the risk against the joy hiking might bring her. I made the decision.
As soon as I took off the leash (狗绳) in the forest, she _____31_____, leaping over logs along the trail. At the lookout, she posed upon a rock and _____32_____ the layers of hills dropping away towards New Jersey and beyond. Obviously, hiking gave her joy to be _____33_____ and running free.
After that, we committed ourselves to completing the highest 35 mountains in the Catskill region. It would have been amazing for any dog to hike at this level of _____34_____, but Mica bravely conquered those mountains at age twelve. From a pitiful creature on the end of a _____35_____ to barking upon the summit of Mountains, Mica’s spirit has shown me just what a miracle is.

The summer finally came. That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to do something and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again.
Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious, and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision!
Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声).
At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged.
“That’s horrible!” I shouted 1oudly and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked? Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires...” The lady introduced herself as Allison. She gave me a “1ecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Why not try one more time?” said Allison.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well.

The lights go down, music plays, and a young woman on a bike at the front of the class encourages students to spin faster and harder. When the lights go back on, the students on the bikes pullout their notebooks, and it’s clear that this is not Soul Cycle. Instead, it’s a first-of-its-kind business school course at Fordham University that is taught on spin bikes in a university.
“It’s the first class that I mention to anybody when anybody asks me what classes I’m taking,” said Amanda Vopat, 22, a business administration major. “I think people are really excited about it.”
The 75-minute, twice-weekly course is the brainchild of Jul it a Haber, a business school professor at Fordham. “I have been introducing movement and fitness in my classes for the past seven years,” she said. “I found the spin class would really allow students to exercise while a professor lectures at the same time.”
The course the students are taking while cycling is no joke. Managing Professional Relationships is an upper-level business school course taken primarily by juniors and seniors. The students are fully instrumental in each class, selecting the music, leading stretches before and after class and leading the intervals during the class.
Haber stops her lecture every 20 minutes throughout the class. While one student turns off the lights, another student turns up the music and a third student goes to a bike in the front of the class to lead their classmates in high-intensity interval that lasts two to three minutes, just enough to re-energize the students.
“It’s a fantastic way of engaging students and as a professor, as a teacher, that’s really gratifying.” she said. “They don’t have their smartphones, and they don’t have laptops so they are physically engaged and also mentally engaged in what is being said.”
The course is the first of its kind at Fordham, and Haber believes it is also a first across the United States. She has authored research on the unique classroom approach, which she calls fitness integrated learning.
Donna Rapaccioli, the head of Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business, described how students were “energized” by the class and said Fordham was open to expanding it to other courses. “Definitely,” Rapaccioli answered when asked if Haber’s course represents the future of learning.
4. Why are the lights adjusted now and then during the session?
A. To create a tense atmosphere.
B. To warn the students to work harder.
C. To remind the students of their activity.
D. To call the students’ attention on notebooks.
5 What can best describe Professor Haber?
A. Ambitious and smart. B. Hardworking and cheerful.
C. Creative and open-minded. D. Confident and humorous.
6. What is the new course aimed at?
A. Arousing the students’ interest.
B. Grabbing the student’s full attention.
C. Conducting a national research.
D. Creating a new future of learning.
7. What was the author’s purpose in quoting Rap accioli?
A To tell the future of Haber’s course.
B. To show the success of Haber’s course.
C. To compare Haber’s course with others’.
D. To promote the popularity of Haber’s course.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. B

C
A traditional Chinese medicine has been shown to be effective at reducing complications following a heart attack after a large-scale, clinical trial. The medicine, known as tongxinluo, is made of extracts derived from seven herbs and various animals. The compound, whose name means “to open the network of the heart,” has long been used as a traditional Chinese treatment for patients who have had heart attacks and/or strokes (中风).Based on promising results in cellular (细胞的) and animal models, the State Food and Drug Administration of China approved its use for the treatment of stroke and angina pectoris—a heart condition characterized by reoccurring chest pain-in 1996.
The latest study, which has been published in JAMA, represents one of the first times that a traditional Chinese medicine has been tested in a large-scale, Western-style clinical trial.
The authors of the study, who include researchers from several Chinese universities and hospitals, in collaboration with experts from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center-found that tongxinluo reduced the risk of heart attacks (known as myocardial infarctions), deaths and other major cardiovascular complications for at least a year after a first heart attack.
Matthew Saybolt, a cardiologist with the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center who was not involved in the latest study, told Newsweek that he found the latest research “compelling” after reviewing the paper. “I am not aware of any other large, well-run trials like this studying traditional Chinese medicine. This is a rarely run type of study, and I congratulate the authors for their work and publication in such a prestigious medical journal,” Saybolt said. The study involved 3,777 patients at 124 clinical centers in China who had suffered the most severe form of heart attack-known as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, or STEMI.
Saybolt said he also observed some weaknesses in the way the study was conducted, one of which was that the participants were entirely Chinese citizens and predominantly male. “Thus the findings may not be generalizable throughout the world or to women,” he said. “Furthermore, the patients were less frequently-compared to the United States, for example-treated with traditional proven medicine after their myocardial infarctions. Therefore, the effect of the Chinese medicine may have been enlarged, by the lack of patient exposure to proven therapies.
Further research will be needed to address these matters, and the benefits shown in this study would need to be copied in other populations before the treatment could get approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration.
8. Why did the Chinese authority approve the use of tongxinluo?
A. Because it is made of the essence from seven herbs and animals.
B. Because it has already been used in traditional Chinese medicine.
C. Because it has been published in Western-style journals and magazines.
D. Because it has had effective results in treating patients with heart attacks and strokes.
9. What was the limitation of the study?
A. The authors have only worked with one university.
B. The research subjects are mainly Chinese male.
C. The American patients used the unproved medicine.
D. The expert Matthew Saybolt did not participate in the study.
10. What is Saybolt’s attitude towards the study?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic.
C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Improvements of the study. B. Weaknesses of the study.
C. Results of the study. D. Benefits of the study.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中药“通心络”的相关内容。该药已被中国食品药品监督管理局批准用于治疗中风和心绞痛,最近的一项研究发现它还可以降低心脏病发作后的死亡和其他主要心血管并发症的风险,但这项研究也存在一些局限性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Based on promising results in cellular(细胞的)and animal models, the State Food and Drug Administration of China approved its use for the treatment of stroke and angina pectoris—a heart condition characterized by reoccurring chest pain-in 1996. (基于在细胞和动物模型上的有希望的结果,中国国家食品药品监督管理局于 1996 年批准其用于治疗中风和心绞痛——一种以反复发作的胸痛为特征的心脏病。)”可知,中国当局批准使用通心络是因为它在治疗中风和心绞痛方面有显著效果。故选 D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Saybolt said he also observed some weaknesses in the way the study was conducted, one of which was that the participants were entirely Chinese citizens and predominantly male. (Saybolt 说,他还观察到这项研究进行方式的一些弱点,其中之一是参与者完全是中国公民,而且主要是男性。)”可知,这项研究的局限性之一是参与者主要是中国男性。故选 B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Matthew Saybolt, a cardiologist with the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center who was not involved in the latest study, told Newsweek that he found the latest research “compelling” after reviewing the paper. “I am not aware of any other large, well-run trials like this studying traditional Chinese medicine. This is a rarely run type of study, and I congratulate the authors for their work and publication in such a prestigious medical journal,” Saybolt said. (哈肯萨克子午线泽西海岸大学医学中心心脏病专家马修·萨博尔特(Matthew Saybolt)没有参与最新的研究,他在接受《新闻周刊》采访时表示,在审查了这篇论文后,他发现最新的研究“很有说服力”。“我不知道还有其他类似的研究中药的大型、运行良好的试验。这是一种很少进行的研究类型,我祝贺作者们的工作和在如此有声望的医学杂志上发表。”)”可知,Saybolt 对这项研究的评价是积极的,他认为这是一项罕见的研究,并祝贺作者在如此有声望的医学杂志上发表。由此推知,Saybolt 对这项研究的态度是客观的。故选 A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Further research will be needed to address these matters, and the benefits shown in this study would need to be copied in other populations before the treatment could get approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. (需要进一步的研究来解决这些问题,并且在这种治疗方法得到美国食品和药物管理局的批准之前,需要在其他人群中复制这项研究中显示的益处。)”可知,最后一段主要是关于这项研究的改进方向。故选 A。
D
People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents (倡导者) of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”.
Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.
Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B.E. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.
The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.
Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.
12. What will the proponents of the “nurture” theory agree with?
A. Peter loves talking to strangers because he is friendly.
B. Peter loves maths because his father is a maths professor.
C. Peter loves detective stories because he enjoys suspense and thrill.
D. Peter loves tea because his mother gave it to him since childhood.
13. The underlined word “mechanistic” in paragraph 4 means .
A. flexible B. rigid C. common D. new
14. Why did the author cite the blacks in the US as an example?
A. He wanted to show how the theories have deeply affected the society.
B. He tried to prove that both theories need further discussion and research.
C. He intended to demonstrate why the blacks need more education and support.
D. He attempted to introduce the result of intelligence tests from blacks and whites.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce some theories. B. To explain a social issue.
C. To solve a racial problem. D. To give further suggestions.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了人的性格和行为模式是如何形成的,是什么决定了每个人的性格行为与他人不同。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.”(“先天”理论的支持者,或者通常被称为行为主义者,认为我们的环境比我们基于生物的本能更重要,决定我们将如何行动。)可知,养育理论的支持者认为环境对我们的行为影响更大。因此,彼得喜欢茶是因为他的母亲从小就给他喝茶,这符合“先天”理论的观点。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.”(他们坚持认为,像机器一样,人们以对环境刺激的反应是行为的基础。)可知,行为主义者认为人的行为反应像机器一样,推测划线单词mechanistic意为“刚性的,机械的”。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.”(例如,在美国,黑人在标准化智力测试中的得分通常低于白人。这使得一些“先天”理论的支持者得出结论,黑人在基因上劣于白人。相反,行为主义者说,分数的差异是因为黑人常常被剥夺白人享有的许多教育和其他环境优势,因此,他们没有发展出与白人相同的反应。)可知,作者引用美国黑人作为例子是为了展示这些理论如何深刻影响社会。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents (倡导者) of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”.”(前还没有明确的答案,但在这个问题上已经形成了两种截然不同的思想流派。正如人们所预料的那样,这两种方法彼此非常不同,每种理论的支持者之间都有大量的争论。这种争议通常被方便地称为“先天/后天”。)可知,本文的目的是介绍一些理论。故选A。

When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. ____16____. For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog (目录).
Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. ____17____. Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna, and most recently, road-tripped through three states.
____18____. After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy. “____19____,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’ Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word. ____20____.
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving
D. That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws
E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun
F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents
G. There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. D 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文的体裁是记叙文。作者回忆了和父亲一起在苏格兰寻找尼斯湖水怪,拍摄野生动物,还一起渡过了危险的德雷克海峡;他和母亲一起住在墨西哥的树屋旅馆,品尝维也纳的米其林星级素食餐厅,还一起穿越了三个州。作者认为,即使有时候和父母一起旅行并不容易,但这是一种重新建立联系的好机会。
【16题详解】
根据上文“When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted.(当我还是个孩子的时候,我认为和父母一起旅行是理所当然的。)”以及下文“For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog(目录).(例如,他们带我们去德纳利国家公园而不是迪士尼世界。我们有时住在没有游泳池的酒店。他们从不允许我们从《空中商城目录》上买任何东西。)”可知,父母的一些行为在作者小时候看来是限制了自己的乐趣,与 E 项“To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun(对我和我的兄弟们来说,他们似乎一心想要限制我们的乐趣)”表达的意思一致,故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s,to be the utmost privilege.(当然,大约 20 年后,我认为和现在都 60 多岁的父母一起旅行是最大的荣幸。)”以及下文“Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last.(我也不是,每过一天,我们就离最后一天更近一步。)”可知,作者意识到父母不再是不可战胜的,与 B 项“I know they’re no longer unbeatable(我知道他们不再是不可战胜的)”表达的意思一致,故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy.(毕竟,即使你是正好掉在树下的苹果,和养育你的人一起旅行并不总是容易的。)”可知,作者是想说和父母旅行并不都是完美的,与D项“That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws(这并不是说我们所有的旅行都没有缺陷)”表达的意思一致,故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据空前一句提到的“traveling with the people who raised you isn't always easy(和养育你的人一起旅行并不总是容易的)”,以及下文提到的“Her clients come back closer than ever(她的客户回来后比以往任何时候都要亲密)”,可知,旅行中虽然有挑战,但也有可能增进关系,G选项“There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests(我们在应对不同的身体能力和兴趣时总会遇到挑战)”符合语境,既说明了旅行中的挑战,又与后文的积极结果形成对比,故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word.(她认为一起旅行是一个完美的机会,让我们了解彼此现在的样子,“现在”是关键词。)”可知,因为现在是关键,所以作为人类,我们总是在不断发展变化的,与C项“After all, as humans, we’re always evolving(毕竟,作为人类,我们总是在不断进化)”表达的意思一致,故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国计划在大约四年内开始在月球上建造一个月球基地,该计划将以月球土壤制成的砖块作为开端。
【36题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:据当地新闻机构报道,与该项目的科学家表示,中国计划在大约四年内开始建造月球基地,并将以月球土壤制成的砖块为开端。分析句子结构可知,kick off在句子中不作为谓语动词使用,它和“China plans to start building a lunar base in about four years”之间为主动关系,因此使用现在分词作状语,故填kicking。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:华中科技大学首席科学家丁烈云在接受当地媒体采访时表示,第一块砖将在2028年左右的嫦娥8号任务期间从月球土壤中制成。 scientist 为可数名词,leading是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此使用不定冠词a,故填a。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:华中科技大学首席科学家丁烈云在接受当地媒体采访时表示,第一块砖将在2028年左右的嫦娥8号任务期间从月球土壤中制成。make是谓语动词,它和“the first brick”之间为被动关系,并且make的动作发生在told 之后,则用过去将来时的被动语态“would be done”,故填would be made。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国此前曾表示,其月球基地可能由核能供电,包括着陆器、料斗、轨道器和月球车,所有这些都将由嫦娥6号、7号和8号任务建造。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,“a lander, hopper, orbiter and rover”是先行词,它在从句中作宾语,指物,因此使用which引导定语从句,故填which。
【40题详解】
考查从属连词。句意:在采访中,目前还不清楚整个基地是否会用月球土壤建造。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导主语从句,需要的词义为“是否”,使用连词if或whethe,故填if或whether。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:丁在一次单独的采访中说:“最终,在地球外部建造居住地不仅对人类追求太空探索至关重要,而且对中国作为太空大国的战略需求也至关重要。”根据句意的需要可知,此处应该填入介词,表示“在……之外”,可以使用beyond或outside,故填beyond或outside。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:丁在一次单独的采访中说:“最终,在地球外部建造居住地不仅对人类追求太空探索至关重要,而且对中国作为太空大国的战略需求也至关重要。”此处需填入形容词作定语修饰needs,需要的词义为“战略的”,即strategic,故填strategic。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:据信,月球上蕴藏着一种无废料的核能资源,可以满足全球250年的能源需求,这意味着潜在价值数千亿美元的资源。be believed to do表示“被认为做某事”,故填to contain。
【44题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:来自中国航天科技集团公司的于登云提供了未来三次嫦娥任务的最新时间表。update和timeline之间为被动关系,因此使用过去分词作定语,需要的词义为“最新的”,即updated,故填updated。
【45题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:嫦娥六号将于2025年发射,从月球背面收集样本,嫦娥七号将于次年发射,寻找水冰,嫦娥八号将在两年后着陆。根据“provided an...( update) timeline for the next three Chang’e missions”可知,“Chang’e 6”和“Chang’e 7”以及“Chang’e 8”是并列关系,使用并列连词and来连接,故填and。

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As is shown in the survey conducted by our school’s English newspaper, the usage of snap-for-answers applications is on the rise among high school students, with 40% of freshmen, 60% of sophomores, and 80% of seniors using them.
This trend can be attributed to the increasing academic pressure and the convenience offered by these apps. Additionally, some students may lack the necessary study support, leading them to rely on these tools.
In my view, while they can be helpful for quick reference, overreliance on them may discourage deep learning and critical thinking skills. Therefore, we should use these tools wisely, balancing their benefits with the need for independent study.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The summer finally came. That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to do something and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again.
Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious, and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision!
Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声).
At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged.
“That’s horrible!” I shouted 1oudly, and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked? Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires...” The lady introduced herself as Allison. She gave me a “1ecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Why not try one more time?” said Allison.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Version 1:
“Why not try one more time?” said Allison. Her words echoed in my mind, and I found myself nodding in agreement. After all, I had come here with a purpose — to learn how to swim. So why give up now? With renewed determination, I took a deep breath and prepared to give it another go. This time, I focused on her instructions and tried to mimic her movements as closely as possible. Surprisingly, I was able to stay afloat for a few seconds longer than before. Progress, however small, was still progress.
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I didn’t feel defeated or discouraged. Instead, I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. After all, I had taken the first step towards overcoming my fear of water and learning a new skill. And even though I wasn’t quite there yet, I knew that with practice and patience, I would eventually get it. Besides, today had been more than just about learning how to swim. It had also been about finding the courage to face my fears and trying something new. And for that, I was grateful to Allison and the encouragement she had given me.
Version 2:
“Why not try one more time?” said Allison. She smiled at me encouragingly, her eyes filled with warmth and confidence. “You can do it, girl. I know it seems scary, but with the right techniques and some practice, you’ll be swimming like a fish in no time.” She handed me a swimming ring and gently guided me back to the shallow end of the pool. Together, we began the slow process of teaching me to float and then, eventually, to swim.
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I had made progress, and that was what mattered. I could now float comfortably with the help of the swimming ring, and my kicks were becoming more coordinated. Allison praised me for my efforts and told me to keep practicing. She knew that with time and dedication, I would overcome my fears and learn to swim. And so, with a renewed sense of determination, I bid farewell to the pool that day, knowing that my journey to becoming a confident swimmer had just begun.
