Crickhowell Walking Festival (9-17 March) One of the earliest of the year’s festivals, the walking festival offers 81 different walks this year, ranging from 2 to 17 miles. All are graded in terms of effort and difficulty, from an easy walk along the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal, to a—new for 2024—hike through the western Fans. Isle of Wight Walking Festival (11-19 May and 5-13 October) The Isle of Wight Walking Festival laces (系) up its boots in spring and autumn, on the 500 miles of footpaths on the island. There are walks focusing on every aspect of the island’s history. Walks are graded according to pace and difficulty. Moray Walking and Outdoor Festival (14-24 June) A great choice for those looking for other activities to enjoy besides walking, this 10-day celebration includes everything from boating to bird-watching. The walks range from gentle seaside wanders to endurance(耐力) hikes through the Cairngorms, with five different grades of difficulty. Saltmarsh Coast Walking Festival (27 September-6 October) Choose from self-guided or expert-led walks along a 75-mile stretch of the Saltmarsh coast, picking up the region’s maritime (海洋的) history, or learning about the rich variety of bird species. The festival features guided walks taking in vineyards (葡萄园), nature reserves and vast skies along the shoreline. 1. Which walking festival is held in two seasons this year? A. Crickhowell Walking Festival. B. Isle of Wight Walking Festival. C. Moray Walking and Outdoor Festival. D. Saltmarsh Coast Walking Festival. 2. What can festival goers do during Moray Walking and Outdoor Festival? A. Make samples of rare species. B. Volunteer in nature reserves. C. Observe birds and go boating. D. Attend a class on marine science. 3. What is special about Saltmarsh Coast Walking Festival? A. It has the longest path. B. It provides graded walks. C. It offers guide choices. D. It serves as history tour. B About one in four Americans are physically inactive, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But for many of us, physical inactivity is not an intentional choice. It stems from sitting all day at a desk job, driving to work because there are no suitable walking or cycling routes. But what if the infrastructure (基础设施) around you gave you the opportunity to move your body without taking extra time out of your day? “An active city would offer you loads of ways to get from A to B,” said Anna Boldina, an architectural researcher and designer who studies active cities at the University of Cambridge in the U. K. “Not only would these active cities be full of variety, but the various elements of an active city also have their own specific benefits: for example, stepping stones improve balanced co-activation of a variety of upper and lower body muscles as well as mindfulness and concentration on’ here and now,’ known as a stress relief.” This all sounds great for future city design and planning, but how can we integrate these feature s into existing city infrastructure? “The best way to transform a place into an active city is through small interventions here and there: an extra stepping stone shortcut across the grass or extra log across the rain garden,” Boldina said. “Sometimes it is not about adding; it is about removing. It is also important that these routes are accessible to people of all ages and abilities.” Of course, if there are always less challenging alternatives available, how can we encourage those who are able to take the more physically active routes? “One of our studies was aimed specifically at encouragement,” Boldina said. The study found that the most effective means of encouragement was providing a shortcut. “Other factors included playfulness, crossing water, using natural materials and adding handrails for confidence,” added Boldina, whose group is currently working with architects in Cambridge to create such active landscapes. 4. Which of the following best explains “stems from” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Relies on. B. Is caused by. C. Mixes with. D. Is changed into. 5. What can we learn about active cities? A. They contribute to better health. B. They offer personalized activities. C. They rely on governmental support. D. They generally look like each other. 6. What does Boldina think matters when we transform a place into an active city? A. Protecting the local environment. B. Adding a variety of safety equipment. C. Making it easy for people to use. D. Designing as many routes as possible. 7. What does Boldina’s study try to find? A. How to motivate citizens to use active routes. B. How to make active routes functional and fun. C. Why citizens have little interest in active routes. D. Why Cambridge can succeed, in adopting active routcs. C I started to imagine how I’d lead my own tour. Working as a guard at the Guggenheim I first liked reading the wall text—the paragraph-long explanation on the wall beside many of the artworks. Occasionally it’s helpful, and for years I thought it was downright rude when museums and galleries didn’t label each work. But now, more often than not, I wanted to tear all the labels down. The wall text stays just to the side of art, like the answer key at the bottom of a word search, its definitive tone sending the message that there’s only one right answer to the art. I realized that art historians could be unreliable narrators (叙述者). The Richard Serra sculpture “Tearing Lead,” consisting of wrinkled lead (铅), took on a different look every time it was exhibited. Guards were given a board with the original photo of the sculpture and instructions “Please indicate where the piece was touched,” so an assistant could reposition the sculpture to match the picture. But an assistant I talked with told me that the sculpture was meant to have the metal pieces arranged haphazardly (杂乱地). The work looks different every time it’s shown —not that you’d know it from the wall text. Therefore, I insist that you don’t look at the little label beside each artwork. When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried to stand in front of the wall label so people couldn’t see it, and I heard their interpretations go wild. They saw a finger, a woman giving birth, a graph, a Kurosawa character, a dolphin, a nose, a fish. If I learned one thing as a guard, it’s that sometimes being forced to look at an artwork, even when you don’t want to, is life-changing. Fight the urge to see what you expect to be there; focus instead on what is there. I’m not concerned with whether you think it’s good. Just watch the thing in front of you. 8. What can we learn about the author from paragraph l? A. He is forming his own judgement. B. He likes traveling with his friends. C. He wants to make his voice heard. D. He writes explanations for artworks. 9. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “Tearing Lead”? A. To introduce a special assistant. B. To prove that wall texts can be wrong. C. To call for protection of artworks on show. D. To show how art historians describe works. 10. Why did the author stand in front of the label on the wall? A. To prevent the visitors getting closer to the sculpture. B. To make visitors have a better view of the sculpture. C. To push the visitors to appreciate on their own. D. To interact with the visitors in a fun way. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How I Rose from a Museum Guard to an Art Expert B. What Categories of Artworks Museums Like Showing C. How Working in a Museum Makes Me Have a Life Purpose D. What Being a Museum Guard Taught Me about Looking at Art D We have all experienced that feeling of mental exhaustion (疲惫) after focusing on a tricky problem. Detailed thinking certainly feels like hard work, but is it? The answer is a touch less obvious than you might suspect. The brain is certainly a hungry organ. “It is the most energy-consuming part of the body,” says Nilli Lavie at University College London. Although it accounts for around 2 percent of our body weight, it uses some 20 percent of the energy we burn at rest. Interestingly, when it comes to energy use, the brain doesn’t distinguish between tasks that we traditionally regard as “hard” and those that come more naturally. This was first demonstrated in the 1950s in a study showing that the brain’s level of metabolic (代谢) activity is remarkably constant, regardless of whether we are concentrating or letting our mind wander. Your brain distributes resources to its different parts depending on the mental activity being carried out. But there is a trade-off. For instance, in a study published in November, Lavie and her teammates measured energy use in the brain region responsible for daydreaming and found that it decreased when volunteers carried out a problem-solving task that required focused attention. So thinking hard does burn more energy in the brain region involved, but this is offset by energy savings in other parts of the brain. The amounts of energy involved are very small. Actually, a self-control task, such as keeping your hand in icy water for as long as you can, “burns up 1 calorie of glucose”, says Ewan McNay, at the University at Albany in New York. However, although this is a tiny amount of fuel, your brain doesn’t see it that way. “It worries about an imbalance of supply over demand,” he says. If the brain detects local drainage (排泄) of glucose—the sugar that fuels the brain—it perceives it as something bad, says McNay. This is what gives rise to the feeling of being exhausted after prolonged (长时间的) focus. 12. How does the author look at detailed thinking? A. It can develop the less-used brain areas. B. It can make the brain become tired quickly. C. It is beyond the assumption of most people. D. It is both mentally and physically demanding. 13. What does the study in the 1950s tell us about our brain? A. It is always in a hungry state. B. It treats mental tasks equally. C. It burns less calories when at rest. D. It has a natural tendency to wander. 14. When the brain settles a problem, the brain region for daydreaming ______. A connects with other regions B. solves a difficult task C. receives more resources D. becomes less active 15. Why do we feel tired after prolonged focus? A. Our brain has anxiety over the proper distribution of energy. B. Our brain burns much more energy than it is supplied. C. Our brain distributes energy to the wrong brain areas. D. Our brain sometimes miscalculates the energy used. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Have more fun. Learn new things. These aren’t bad New Year’s resolutions.

Over the past month, he’d been settling in to the New York City apartment he was sharing with his friend, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri. Now, on Oct.4, the two were taking a quick lunchtime workout on Pier (码头) 15, overlooking the East River, when Lobb froze. “Somebody’s in the water,” he said. Before Jafri could respond, Lobb climbed over the rail at the edge of the pier and jumped into the cold, polluted water without taking the time to remove his shoes. What Lobb had heard was an alarming shout from Pier 16, nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a person floating (漂浮), motionless. Approaching the victim, Lobb saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet below the surface by the time Lobb reached him. The rescuer dived, felt around, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both resurfaced. Jafri was in water now. The two friends used all their strength to float the man on his back, even as the water threatened to overtake them. As Jafri put his arms around the man’s shoulders and Lobb supported him, the pair struggled back to Pier 15. Their lungs cried out for air and their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the freezing and fast-moving water. The man was breathing shallowly, his face pale. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. How to get out? The pier’s decking (甲板) stood an unreachable 10 feet above their heads. It is unlikely for them to climb onto the pier. Suddenly the man made a slight move, struggling confusedly. 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。 On the pier, a crowd had gathered. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Lobb and Jafri climbed onto the pier, they were met with cheers and applause. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CBACA 6-10ABBCB 11-15ACACB 16-20BCCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，务必将自己的姓名和考号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，务必擦净后再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

It serves as history tour. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个徒步活动的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Isle of Wight Walking Festival laces (系) up its boots in spring and autumn, on the 500 miles of footpaths on the island.(每年春季和秋季，怀特岛徒步节都会在岛上500英里长的人行道上举行)”可知，今年怀特岛徒步节分两个季节举行。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A great choice for those looking for other activities to enjoy besides walking, this 10-day celebration includes everything from boating to bird-watching.(对于那些想要在散步之外享受其他活动的人来说，这是一个很好的选择，这个为期10天的庆祝活动包括从划船到观鸟的所有活动)”可知，在马里徒步和户外节期间，参加节日的人可以观察鸟类和划船。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Choose from self-guided or expert-led walks along a 75-mile stretch of the Saltmarsh coast, picking up the region’s maritime (海洋的) history, or learning about the rich variety of bird species.(沿着75英里长的盐沼海岸，您可以选择自助或专家带领的徒步旅行，了解该地区的海洋历史，或了解丰富多样的鸟类物种)”可知，盐沼海岸徒步节的特别之处在于提供向导选择。故选C。 B About one in four Americans are physically inactive, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But for many of us, physical inactivity is not an intentional choice. It stems from sitting all day at a desk job, driving to work because there are no suitable walking or cycling routes. But what if the infrastructure (基础设施) around you gave you the opportunity to move your body without taking extra time out of your day? “An active city would offer you loads of ways to get from A to B,” said Anna Boldina, an architectural researcher and designer who studies active cities at the University of Cambridge in the U. K. “Not only would these active cities be full of variety, but the various elements of an active city also have their own specific benefits: for example, stepping stones improve balanced co-activation of a variety of upper and lower body muscles as well as mindfulness and concentration on’ here and now,’ known as a stress relief.” This all sounds great for future city design and planning, but how can we integrate these feature s into existing city infrastructure? “The best way to transform a place into an active city is through small interventions here and there: an extra stepping stone shortcut across the grass or extra log across the rain garden,” Boldina said. “Sometimes it is not about adding; it is about removing. It is also important that these routes are accessible to people of all ages and abilities.” Of course, if there are always less challenging alternatives available, how can we encourage those who are able to take the more physically active routes? “One of our studies was aimed specifically at encouragement,” Boldina said. The study found that the most effective means of encouragement was providing a shortcut. “Other factors included playfulness, crossing water, using natural materials and adding handrails for confidence,” added Boldina, whose group is currently working with architects in Cambridge to create such active landscapes. 4. Which of the following best explains “stems from” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Relies on. B. Is caused by. C. Mixes with. D. Is changed into. 5. What can we learn about active cities? A. They contribute to better health. B. They offer personalized activities. C. They rely on governmental support. D. They generally look like each other. 6. What does Boldina think matters when we transform a place into an active city? A. Protecting the local environment. B. Adding a variety of safety equipment. C. Making it easy for people to use. D. Designing as many routes as possible. 7. What does Boldina’s study try to find? A. How to motivate citizens to use active routes. B. How to make active routes functional and fun. C. Why citizens have little interest in active routes. D. Why Cambridge can succeed, in adopting active routcs. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了关于如何在城市中通过设计基础设施来促进人们的身体活动的研究和建议，介绍了剑桥大学研究人员对于“活力城市”的概念和实践。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“But for many of us, physical inactivity is not an intentional choice.(但对于我们中的许多人来说，缺乏运动并不是一个有意的选择)”可知，此处讲述许多人缺乏运动并不是一个有意的选择，所以接下来应是讲述为什么，根据划线部分后文“sitting all day at a desk job, driving to work because there are no suitable walking or cycling routes.”可推知，应是表达“它源于整天坐在办公室工作，开车上班，因为没有合适的步行或骑自行车的路线”之意，所以stems from应是“源于”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““An active city would offer you loads of ways to get from A to B,” said Anna Boldina, an architectural researcher and designer who studies active cities at the University of Cambridge in the U. K. “Not only would these active cities be full of variety, but the various elements of an active city also have their own specific benefits: for example, stepping stones improve balanced co-activation of a variety of upper and lower body muscles as well as mindfulness and concentration on’ here and now,’ known as a stress relief.”(“一个充满活力的城市会为你提供很多从A地到B地的方式，”在英国剑桥大学研究活力城市的建筑研究员兼设计师Anna Boldina说道。“这些充满活力的城市不仅丰富多彩，而且一个充满活力的城市的各种元素也有其独特的好处：例如，跳石可以提高各种上下肢肌肉的平衡共同激活，还可以提高‘此时此地’的专注度和注意力，这被称为缓解压力的方法。”)”可知，一个充满活力的城市有助于增进健康。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““The best way to transform a place into an active city is through small interventions here and there: an extra stepping stone shortcut across the grass or extra log across the rain garden,” Boldina said. “Sometimes it is not about adding; it is about removing. It is also important that these routes are accessible to people of all ages and abilities.”(“把一个地方变成充满活力的城市的最好方法就是通过在这里和那里进行小小的干预：在草地上增加一个跳石的捷径，或者在雨水花园中增加一根额外的木头，”Boldina说。“有时候，这并不是要增加什么，而是要移除一些东西。同样重要的是，这些路线应该对所有年龄段和能力的人开放。”)”可知，Boldina重要的是，这些路线应该对所有年龄段和能力的人开放，也就是让人们更容易使用。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““One of our studies was aimed specifically at encouragement,” Boldina said. The study found that the most effective means of encouragement was providing a shortcut. “Other factors included playfulness, crossing water, using natural materials and adding handrails for confidence,” added Boldina, whose group is currently working with architects in Cambridge to create such active landscapes.(“我们的一项研究专门针对鼓励，”博尔迪纳说。研究发现，最有效的鼓励方式是提供一条捷径。“其他因素包括玩耍、穿越水面、使用天然材料和增加扶手以增强信心，”Boldina补充说，他的团队目前正在与剑桥的建筑师合作创造这种活跃的景观)”可知，Boldina的研究试图找到如何激励市民使用活跃的路线。故选A项。 C I started to imagine how I’d lead my own tour. Working as a guard at the Guggenheim, I first liked reading the wall text—the paragraph-long explanation on the wall beside many of the artworks. Occasionally it’s helpful, and for years I thought it was downright rude when museums and galleries didn’t label each work. But now, more often than not, I wanted to tear all the labels down. The wall text stays just to the side of art, like the answer key at the bottom of a word search, its definitive tone sending the message that there’s only one right answer to the art. I realized that art historians could be unreliable narrators (叙述者). The Richard Serra sculpture “Tearing Lead,” consisting of wrinkled lead (铅), took on a different look every time it was exhibited. Guards were given a board with the original photo of the sculpture and instructions “Please indicate where the piece was touched,” so an assistant could reposition the sculpture to match the picture. But an assistant I talked with told me that the sculpture was meant to have the metal pieces arranged haphazardly (杂乱地). The work looks different every time it’s shown —not that you’d know it from the wall text. Therefore, I insist that you don’t look at the little label beside each artwork. When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried to stand in front of the wall label so people couldn’t see it, and I heard their interpretations go wild. They saw a finger, a woman giving birth, a graph, a Kurosawa character, a dolphin, a nose, a fish. If I learned one thing as a guard, it’s that sometimes being forced to look at an artwork, even when you don’t want to, is life-changing. Fight the urge to see what you expect to be there; focus instead on what is there. I’m not concerned with whether you think it’s good. Just watch the thing in front of you. 8. What can we learn about the author from paragraph l? A. He is forming his own judgement. B. He likes traveling with his friends. C. He wants to make his voice heard. D. He writes explanations for artworks. 9. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “Tearing Lead”? A. To introduce a special assistant. B. To prove that wall texts can be wrong. C. To call for protection of artworks on show. D. To show how art historians describe works. 10. Why did the author stand in front of the label on the wall? A. To prevent the visitors getting closer to the sculpture. B. To make visitors have a better view of the sculpture. C. To push the visitors to appreciate on their own. D. To interact with the visitors in a fun way. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How I Rose from a Museum Guard to an Art Expert B. What Categories of Artworks Museums Like Showing C. How Working in a Museum Makes Me Have a Life Purpose D. What Being a Museum Guard Taught Me about Looking at Art 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位在古根海姆博物馆工作的保安对艺术品标签的反思，以及鼓励观众摆脱预设观念，直接感受艺术品本身。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But now, more often than not, I wanted to tear all the labels down. The wall text stays just to the side of art, like the answer key at the bottom of a word search, its definitive tone sending the message that there’s only one right answer to the art.(但现在，我常常想撕掉所有的标签。墙上的文字只停留在艺术的一边，就像单词搜索底部的答案键一样，它明确的语气传达了一个信息，即艺术只有一个正确的答案)”可知，作者开始质疑并希望去除艺术品旁的标签说明，认为它们限制了人们对艺术的多角度理解，表明他在形成自己的判断。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I realized that art historians could be unreliable narrators.(我意识到艺术历史学家可能是不可靠的叙述者)”及“The work looks different every time it’s shown —not that you’d know it from the wall text.(作品每次展示时看起来都不一样——并不是说你从墙上的文字中就能知道)”可知，通过介绍“Tearing Lead”雕塑的例子，指出助理告诉作者雕塑本应随意排列金属片，而墙上的文字说明并未反映这一信息，说明墙上的解说并不总是准确的，甚至可能是误导的。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried to stand in front of the wall label so people couldn’t see it, and I heard their interpretations go wild.(当我守卫一座布朗库西雕塑时，我试图站在墙上的标签前，让人们看不到它，我听到他们的解释变得疯狂)”可知，作者站在墙上的标签前，是为了让访客在没有预设解释的情况下自由地欣赏和解读雕塑，促使他们自己进行欣赏。故选C。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段“If I learned one thing as a guard, it’s that sometimes being forced to look at an artwork, even when you don’t want to, is life-changing. Fight the urge to see what you expect to be there; focus instead on what is there.(如果说我作为一名警卫学到了一件事，那就是有时被迫看艺术品，即使你不想看，也会改变生活。抵制住想要看到你预期内容的冲动；相反，要专注于眼前的事物)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者作为博物馆警卫的体验，如何从这个角色中学到了不依赖于墙上的解说，而是鼓励人们自主观察和理解艺术，因此D项“当博物馆警卫教会我的观看艺术之道”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D We have all experienced that feeling of mental exhaustion (疲惫) after focusing on a tricky problem. Detailed thinking certainly feels like hard work, but is it? The answer is a touch less obvious than you might suspect. The brain is certainly a hungry organ. “It is the most energy-consuming part of the body,” says Nilli Lavie at University College London. Although it accounts for around 2 percent of our body weight, it uses some 20 percent of the energy we burn at rest. Interestingly, when it comes to energy use, the brain doesn’t distinguish between tasks that we traditionally regard as “hard” and those that come more naturally. This was first demonstrated in the 1950s in a study showing that the brain’s level of metabolic (代谢的) activity is remarkably constant, regardless of whether we are concentrating or letting our mind wander. Your brain distributes resources to its different parts depending on the mental activity being carried out. But there is a trade-off. For instance, in a study published in November, Lavie and her teammates measured energy use in the brain region responsible for daydreaming and found that it decreased when volunteers carried out a problem-solving task that required focused attention. So thinking hard does burn more energy in the brain region involved, but this is offset by energy savings in other parts of the brain. The amounts of energy involved are very small. Actually, a self-control task, such as keeping your hand in icy water for as long as you can, “burns up 1 calorie of glucose”, says Ewan McNay, at the University at Albany in New York. However, although this is a tiny amount of fuel, your brain doesn’t see it that way. “It worries about an imbalance of supply over demand,” he says. If the brain detects local drainage (排泄) of glucose—the sugar that fuels the brain—it perceives it as something bad, says McNay. This is what gives rise to the feeling of being exhausted after prolonged (长时间的) focus. 12. How does the author look at detailed thinking? A. It can develop the less-used brain areas. B. It can make the brain become tired quickly. C. It is beyond the assumption of most people. D. It is both mentally and physically demanding. 13. What does the study in the 1950s tell us about our brain? A. It is always in a hungry state. B. It treats mental tasks equally. C. It burns less calories when at rest. D. It has a natural tendency to wander. 14. When the brain settles a problem, the brain region for daydreaming ______. A. connects with other regions B. solves a difficult task C. receives more resources D. becomes less active 15. Why do we feel tired after prolonged focus? A. Our brain has anxiety over the proper distribution of energy. B. Our brain burns much more energy than it is supplied. C. Our brain distributes energy to the wrong brain areas. D. Our brain sometimes miscalculates the energy used. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明，无论我们是专注于心算还是走神，大脑的新陈代谢水平都是非常恒定的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Detailed thinking certainly feels like hard work, but is it? The answer is a touch less obvious than you might suspect.(详细的思考当然像是一项艰苦的工作，但真的是这样吗？答案可能没有你想象的那么明显)”可知，作者认为详细的思考超出了大多数人的假设。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Interestingly, when it comes to energy use, the brain doesn’t distinguish between tasks that we traditionally regard as “hard” and those that come more naturally. This was first demonstrated in the 1950s in a study showing that the brain’s level of metabolic (代谢的) activity is remarkably constant, regardless of whether we are concentrating or letting our mind wander.(有趣的是，当涉及到能量使用时，大脑并不能区分我们传统上认为“困难”的任务和那些更自然的任务。这在20世纪50年代的一项研究中首次得到证实，该研究表明，无论我们是集中注意力还是走神，大脑的代谢活动水平都是非常稳定的)”可知，20世纪50年代的研究告诉我们，大脑它平等对待脑力劳动。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For instance, in a study published in November, Lavie and her teammates measured energy use in the brain region responsible for daydreaming and found that it decreased when volunteers carried out a problem-solving task that required focused attention.(例如，在去年11月发表的一项研究中，拉维和她的队友测量了大脑中负责白日梦的区域的能量消耗，发现当志愿者进行需要集中注意力的解决问题的任务时，能量消耗会减少)”可知，当大脑解决了一个问题，大脑中负责白日梦的区域就会变得不那么活跃。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If the brain detects local drainage (排泄) of glucose—the sugar that fuels the brain—it perceives it as something bad, says McNay. This is what gives rise to the feeling of being exhausted after prolonged (长时间的) focus.(麦克内说，如果大脑检测到局部葡萄糖的流失，它就会认为这是不好的东西。这就是在长时间集中注意力后产生疲惫感的原因)”可知，我们在长时间集中注意力后会感到疲倦是因为我们的大脑对能量的合理分配感到焦虑。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Have more fun.

Over the past month, he’d been settling in to the New York City apartment he was sharing with his friend, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri. Now, on Oct.4, the two were taking a quick lunchtime workout on Pier (码头) 15, overlooking the East River, when Lobb froze. “Somebody’s in the water,” he said. Before Jafri could respond, Lobb climbed over the rail at the edge of the pier and jumped into the cold, polluted water without taking the time to remove his shoes. What Lobb had heard was an alarming shout from Pier 16, nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a person floating (漂浮), motionless. Approaching the victim, Lobb saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet below the surface by the time Lobb reached him. The rescuer dived, felt around, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both resurfaced. Jafri was in water now. The two friends used all their strength to float the man on his back, even as the water threatened to overtake them. As Jafri put his arms around the man’s shoulders and Lobb supported him, the pair struggled back to Pier 15. Their lungs cried out for air and their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the freezing and fast-moving water. The man was breathing shallowly, his face pale. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. How to get out? The pier’s decking (甲板) stood an unreachable 10 feet above their heads. It is unlikely for them to climb onto the pier. Suddenly the man made a slight move, struggling confusedly. 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。 On the pier, a crowd had gathered. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Lobb and Jafri climbed onto the pier, they were met with cheers and applause. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 On the pier, a crowd had gathered. From somewhere, the onlookers produced a rope and a life jacket, which they threw to Jafri and Lobb. The friends immediately worked the victim’s arm through the life jacket and tied the rope around his body. With the two men pushing from below and the crowd pulling from above, the man slowly rose until helping hands pulled him onto the pier. Then the crowd quickly threw the rope to Lobb and Jafri, and they were able to grab on and be pulled to safety. As they climbed onto the pier, Lobb and Jafri were met with cheers and applause. Luckily, the man woke up and thanked Jafri and Lobb for their bravery. They said that they had been passing by when they saw what was happening and knew just what to do. Then they thanked the crowd for their help. As they walked away from the pier, Lobb and Jafri knew that this was a moment they would never forget. They had saved a life, and in doing so, they had proven that even the smallest act of kindness could make a big difference in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了詹姆森•洛布和朋友在码头锻炼时，遇到了一个人掉进水里，洛布下水救了这个人。在其他人的帮助下，救起了这个人，拯救了一条生命。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“码头上聚集了一群人”可知，第一段可描写大家一起营救落水者的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他们爬上码头时，洛布和贾夫里受到了欢呼和掌声的欢迎”可知，第二段可描写男子感谢洛布和贾夫里以及他们的感悟。 2.续写线索：人群帮忙——男子获救——男子感谢——感谢人群——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①能够：be able to/be capable of ②拿出：produce/take out ③挽救：save/rescue 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/show gratitude to ②善意：kindness/goodwill 【点睛】[高分句型1] With the two men pushing from below and the crowd pulling from above, the man slowly rose until helping hands pulled him onto the pier.
