The original poster works as a school teacher, and every New Year, she tries to bring joy to her students. This time, it turned out especially great and 5. 8 million views on the original video is the best confirmation of this! The teacher’s mother loves to knit (针织) and invited her daughter to play a little game with the students. On New Year’s Eve, the original poster invited the schoolchildren to draw for themselves the“winter hat of their dreams”. Everyone did so, but no one even doubted what would happen next. The kids eagerly drew cute hats, and the teacher’s mom made their imagination come true. It turned out amazingly great, and the video of the teacher starting to hand out hats to the class went even more viral (走红的), collecting an unbelievable 50.4 million views and counting. The large majority of people in the comments gave this teacher the best praise — and to her wonderful mom as well. After all, as some comments have pointed out, not everyone actually realizes how much work, time and love goes into these small hats. “Hats off to your mom, she’s amazing!” one of the commenters wrote. And people also believe that in our time it is absolutely priceless when a teacher really puts their soul into the educational process. People truly don’t realize that this is the teaching. Passion (激情), deep love and hard work characterize this profession. “Thank you to you and your mom!” — perhaps this was the best comment, and we should only join in the gratitude. It is another wonderful New Year story, another expression of care and kindness. 4. What does the teacher try doing to her students? A. Helping them out. B. Brightening their lives. C. Rewarding their efforts. D. Encouraging them to study. 5. Who came up with the idea of knitting hats for the kids? A. The teacher. B. The students. C. The teacher’s mother. D. One of the commenters. 6. What’s the attitude of most people towards the teacher’s action? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Confused. D. Unclear. 7. What does the author want to express through the story? A. The nature of education is love. B. Always prepare for a rainy day. C. Teach kids according to their interests. D. Doing one’s best means one should never stop trying. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个教师和她的母亲在新年期间为学生们编织梦想的冬帽的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The original poster works as a school teacher, and every New Year, she tries to bring joy to her students.”（原帖作者是一名学校教师，每到新年，她都试图给她的学生带来快乐。）可推知，教师试图给她的学生带来快乐，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The teacher’s mother loves to knit(针织) and invited her daughter to play a little game with the students.”（教师的母亲喜欢编织，并邀请她的女儿和学生们玩一个小游戏。）根据第三段“the teacher’s mom made their imagination come true.”（老师的妈妈让他们的想象变成了现实。）可推知，是教师的母亲提出为孩子们编织帽子的想法，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The large majority of people in the comments gave this teacher the best praise—and to her wonderful mom as well.”（评论中的大多数人都给了这位教师最好的赞扬，也赞扬了她的母亲。）可知，大多数人对教师的行动持支持态度，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“People truly don’t realize that this is the teaching. Passion(激情), deep love and hard work characterize this profession.”（人们真的没有意识到这就是教学。激情，深深的爱和辛勤的工作是这个职业的特征。）可推知，作者想通过这个故事表达的是教育的本质是爱，故选A。 C If you were to lift up the keys of your keyboard, and take a look below, you’d probably be met with a terrible scene. “We clean our homes but most of us never think to clean our keyboards,” Rebecca Park, an advanced practice nurse, says. “Our keyboards can actually hold high levels of bacteria (细菌),” Park says. “The most common bacteria that are found on our keyboards tend to live on our skin, mouth, and nose. These are then carried to our keyboards, usually by our hands.” And according to one study, this is more likely when many people use the same keyboard, and each brings their own bacteria to the table. That said, touching bacteria-covered surfaces all day long, and then touching your face, can impact your skin. “Dirty electronic devices are a common cause of more acne (粉刺) breakouts,” Dr Yoram Harth explains. In another study, researchers collected samples (样本) from 300 keyboards and found that all of them had bacteria. “The authors concluded that the presence of infective (感染性的) bacteria on these objects indicates that they might be a cause for the spread of skin infections,” Harth says. “Similar overloads of bacteria were also found on smartphone touch screens and computer mice and headphones.” It’s not something you necessarily have to think too much about, but it never hurts to be aware of surfaces with bacteria, and take a few extra prevention steps. “A good way to prevent the spread of infection from your keyboards is to wash your hands before and after using the computer,” Park says. “Soapy water is effective enough to kill most bacteria.” Do this, and you won’t carry as much bacteria to your keyboard, and then back to your face, and so is the opposite. It can also ensure you won’t be clogging your keys with bits from food, especially if you get right back to typing after eating lunch. 8. What do the two studies find? A. Most people never clean their keyboards. B. Most of the bacteria on the keyboards are harmless. C. Most acne breakouts are related to the keyboard use. D. Most electronic devices have bacteria on their surfaces. 9. Which way is suggested in the text to avoid the spread of bacteria? A Clean the keyboard with soapy water. B. Wash hands after using the computer. C. Wear gloves when using the computer. D Avoid eating before using the computer. 10. What does the underlined word “clogging” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Blocking. B. Improving. C. Destroying. D. Replacing. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Useful Tips on Choosing a Proper Keyboard B. Practical Ways to Protect Yourself from Bacteria C. What You Should Keep in Mind About Infection D. What Happens When You Don’t Clean Your Keyboard 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍我们使用的键盘可能会容纳很多细菌，如果长时间不清理，细菌会感染我们的皮肤，并给出预防细菌传播的一些建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“And according to one study, this is more likely when many people use the same keyboard, and each brings their own bacteria to the table. That said, touching bacteria-covered surfaces all day long, and then touching your face, can impact your skin. “Dirty electronic devices are a common cause of more acne (粉刺) breakouts,” Dr Yoram Harth explains. (根据一项研究，当许多人使用同一个键盘时，这种情况更有可能发生，每个人都把自己的细菌带到桌子上。)”和第四段“In another study, researchers collected samples (样本) from 300 keyboards and found that all of them had bacteria. “The authors concluded that the presence of infective (感染性的) bacteria on these objects indicates that they might be a cause for the spread of skin infections,” Harth says. (在另一项研究中，研究人员从300个键盘上收集样本，发现它们都有细菌。哈思说：“作者得出的结论是，这些物品上感染细菌的存在表明它们可能是皮肤感染传播的原因。”)”可知两项研究都表明大多数电子设备的表面都有细菌。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““A good way to prevent the spread of infection from your keyboards is to wash your hands before and after using the computer,” Park says. “Soapy water is effective enough to kill most bacteria.” (帕克说：“防止键盘感染传播的一个好方法是在使用电脑前后洗手。”“肥皂水足以杀死大多数细菌。”)”可知，防止键盘感染传播的方法是使用电脑前后都要洗手。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段““A good way to prevent the spread of infection from your keyboards is to wash your hands before and after using the computer,” Park says. “Soapy water is effective enough to kill most bacteria.” (帕克说：“防止键盘感染传播的一个好方法是在使用电脑前后洗手。”“肥皂水足以杀死大多数细菌。”)”可知，使用电脑前洗手，可以杀灭大多数细菌，根据最后一段“Do this, and you won’t carry as much bacteria to your keyboard, and then back to your face, and so is the opposite. It can also ensure you won’t be clogging your keys with bits from food, especially if you get right back to typing after eating lunch. (这样做，你就不会把那么多细菌带到你的键盘上，然后回到你的脸上，反之亦然。它还可以确保你不会被食物残渣 你的键盘，尤其是当你吃完午饭后马上回去打字的时候。)”中的“your keys with bits from food”推断，空处应该指“食物残渣堵塞键盘”，所以clogging意为“堵塞”和blocking同义。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“If you were to lift up the keys of your keyboard, and take a look below, you’d probably be met with a terrible scene. “We clean our homes but most of us never think to clean our keyboards,” Rebecca Park, an advanced practice nurse, says. (如果你举起你的键盘键，看看下面，你可能会遇到一个可怕的场景。高级实习护士丽贝卡•帕克(Rebecca Park)表示：“我们会打扫房间，但大多数人从未想过要清洁键盘。”) ”可知文章主要讲述我们使用的键盘可能会容纳很多细菌，如果长时间不清理，细菌会感染我们的皮肤，并给出预防细菌传播的一些建议。D选项“不清理键盘会发生什么”能总结文章的主题，适合作标题。故选D。 D You know that short walk to the shops and back? It’s about 10 minutes each way and you don’t know if you can be glad to make the trip, but that one short walk could save you from an early death, a new research by Cambridge University shows. In fact, as many as one in 10 early deaths could be prevented if everyone managed at least half the recommended level of physical activity. Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes (中风) — which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths per year in 2019 — and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk. This easy lifestyle change was also noted in an earlier study in January, 2023, so you really should give it a go. By carrying out studies among a total of over 30 million participants, the latest Cambridge research found that just 75 minutes of exercise a week can reduce the risk of cancer by 7%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular (心血管的) disease by 17%. Professor James Woodcock from the MRC Epidemiology Unit said, “We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate. But what we’ve found is that there are many benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.” It goes without saying that doing the recommended 150 minutes per week is more beneficial than just 75 minutes. Around one in six early deaths would be prevented with the two plus hours of exercise, while 11% of cases of cardiovascular disease and 5% of cases of cancer would be avoided. So what are you waiting for? Boots were made for walking. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The simplicity of a short walk. B. The reason for people’s death. C. The benefits of doing exercise. D. The change in people’s lifestyle. 13. What do Professor James Woodcock’s words mean? A. Walking can always raise people’s heart rate. B. People need at least 75 minutes’ exercise a day. C. Physical activity is not that necessary for people. D. 10 minutes’ exercise a day can make a difference. 14. How does the author mainly support his idea in the text? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By describing the processes. D. By referring to previous researches. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To advise people to exercise. B. To uncover the secrets of health. C. To remind people of some diseases. D. To compare different ways of exercise. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是短暂的散步对健康的益处，以及科学研究对此的证实。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes—which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths per year in 2019—and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk. ”（心脏病、中风（2019年每年导致1790万人死亡）和各种癌症等疾病的风险都可以通过这种简单的短途行走来降低。）可推知，第二段主要讲述的是做运动的好处。故选C 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中James Woodcock教授的话“We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate. But what we’ve found is that there are many benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.”（我们知道，像走路或骑自行车这样的体育活动对你有好处，特别是如果你觉得它能提高你的心率。但我们发现，即使你每天只能做10分钟的运动，也有许多对心脏健康和降低癌症风险的好处。）可推知，每天10分钟的运动就可以带来改变。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes—which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths per year in 2019—and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk. ”（心脏病、中风（2019年每年导致1790万人死亡）和各种癌症等疾病的风险都可以通过这种简单的短途行走来降低。）根据第三段“just 75 minutes of exercise a week can reduce the risk of cancer by 7%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular(心血管的) disease by 17%.”（每周只需75分钟的锻炼就可以将癌症的风险降低7%。它还足以将发展心血管疾病的风险降低17%。）根据最后一段“It goes without saying that doing the recommended 150 minutes per week is more beneficial than just 75 minutes. Around one in six early deaths would be prevented with the two plus hours of exercise, while 11% of cases of cardiovascular disease and 5% of cases of cancer would be avoided.”（不用说，每周锻炼150分钟比仅仅锻炼75分钟更有益。大约六分之一的早期死亡可以通过两个多小时的锻炼来避免，而11%的心血管疾病和5%的癌症病例可以避免。）可知，作者主要是通过列数字支持他的观点的。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段“So what are you waiting for? Boots were made for walking.”（那你还在等什么？靴子是用来走路的。）是对全文的总结，可以推断，作者写作该篇文章的目的是建议人们进行锻炼。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。 Do you have a goal you want to achieve before your next birthday? Or by the end of the decade, perhaps? We often hear about the importance of setting goals. ____16____ We may think of these goals as the key to our happiness—achieve them and everything will be perfect. ____17____ You’ve thought, “Is that it?” Or, “Now what?” That feeling has a name “arrival fallacy (到达谬论)” —the misunderstanding that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness. Whether it’s a new job, owning your dream home or anything else—there might be some joy at first, but if you’re experiencing arrival fallacy, that may be followed by emptiness and pressure to achieve something new.____18____ And achieving our goals is enough to make us happy? Not always. According to experts, we might be overestimating (高估) the happiness that such achievements will bring. And social scientist Adam Dorr says we often make the mistake of imagining our goal as a fixed object, when it’s just part of the process of life. Another different idea explains that arrival fallacy doesn’t mean we shouldn’t set ourselves goals—in fact, we need them to help give our lives focus. As well as large things, our goals should include many small things, like helping out more around the house or spending more time with family.____19____ If we really want to beat arrival fallacy, we also have to work out what makes us happy.____20____ Too many of us spend our spare moments on social media and pay less attention to who and what is around us. A. So why does this happen? B. Even thinking of them helps to cheer us up. C. However, not everyone agrees with this idea. D. Achieving our goals usually takes lots of effort. E. They are small but important and they don’t just end. F. But have you ever reached a goal without feeling happy? G. And spending time with people we care about is often number one for happiness. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。这篇文章主要讨论了“到达谬论”的概念，即认为达到目标会带来持久幸福的误解。文章建议，除了追求大目标外，我们还应该关注生活中的小事，并思考真正让我们快乐的因素。 【16题详解】 根据前文“We often hear about the importance of setting goals. (我们经常听说设定目标的重要性。)”可知，我们经常听说设定目标的重要性。B选项“Even thinking of them helps to cheer us up. (甚至是想到它们也能让我们振作起来。)”中的them指代前文的goals，形成呼应即当我们听到目标的时候就会让我们振奋起来，该选项符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据前文“We may think of these goals as the key to our happiness—achieve them and everything will be perfect. (我们可能认为这些目标是我们幸福的关键——实现它们，一切都会变得完美。)”以及后文“ That feeling has a name “arrival fallacy (到达谬论)” —the misunderstanding that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness. (这种感觉被称为“到达谬误”——一种误解，认为达到目标会给我们带来持久的幸福。)”可知，前文提出实现目标给我们带来的好处，后文提出了“到达谬误”这一相反观点。由此可知，设空处应该与上一段构成转折关系，引出本段“到达谬误”的话题。F选项“But have you ever reached a goal without feeling happy? (但是你是否曾经达到一个目标却没有感到快乐？)”符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Whether it’s a new job, owning your dream home or anything else—there might be some joy at first, but if you’re experiencing arrival fallacy, that may be followed by emptiness and pressure to achieve something new. (无论是一份新工作，拥有你梦想中的房子还是其他任何事情，一开始可能会有一些快乐，但如果你经历了“到达谬误”，那么随之而来的可能是空虚和实现新事物的压力。)”可知，此处强调无论是新工作还是其他任何事情，最初都会让自己有一些喜悦，可是如果正在经历“到达谬误”，随之而来可能是空虚的感受。后文应该对此进行解释。A选项“So why does this happen? (为什么会这样呢？)”对上述现象提出质疑。同时根据下文“According to experts, we might be overestimating (高估) the happiness that such achievements will bring. (据专家称，我们可能高估了这些成就将带来的快乐。)”对前文的现象做出解释，A选项符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据前文“As well as large things, our goals should include many small things, like helping out more around the house or spending more time with family. (除了大事，我们的目标还应该包括很多小的事情，比如在家里多帮忙，或者花更多的时间和家人在一起。)”可知，此处强调除了大事，我们应该也要从小事着手。E选项“They are small but important and they don’t just end. (它们虽小但很重要，它们不会就此结束。)”中的they指代前文的small things，承接前文，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据前文“If we really want to beat arrival fallacy, we also have to work out what makes us happy. (如果我们真的想打败“到达谬论”，我们还必须弄清楚是什么让我们快乐。)”可知，此处强调为了解决“到达谬误”我们必须要弄清楚什么让我们快乐。G选项“And spending time with people we care about is often number one for happiness. (花时间和我们关心的人在一起往往是幸福的第一要素。)”承接前文，make us happy与for happiness形成呼应，指出花时间和关心的人在一些就是能够让我们快乐的事，该选项符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Oliver James understands the power of words.

A simple sound in the middle of the night could make me imagine the scariest scenes. My uncle lived alone in his big old house in New Hampshire. The house was surrounded by a huge yard with lots of trees. The inside was very neat and tidy but reminded me of a museum with its ancient objects. Everything looked like it dated from the previous century, from the old-fashioned oil paintings to black-and-white pictures on the walls. Looking back at it now, it would have made the perfect setting for a frightening large house. Once, my family visited my uncle in the fall. During the day, my sister and I made big piles of leaves to jump in with the help of Elaine, my big sister. Our room had a double bed facing a window, out of which stood a huge maple tree. The floor was made of wood that made funny sounds every time we took a step. Although the day had been bright and cheerful, the night turned out to be extremely windy. Soon after Elaine and I were lying in bed and all was dark, I started to notice strange noises, as if someone was walking in the room. It seemed that someone was knocking against the windows, making strange noises. There were even howls (咆哮声) coming from somewhere outside! At this point, I didn’t know what to think. All of a sudden, I thought I heard someone coming up the stairs, and my heart rose to my throat. I thought I saw something moving in the dark corners of my room, and my breath quickened. Elaine sat up in bed, but when she looked at me, she seemed confused, too. We couldn’t help but wonder if we were going crazy. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The noises continued for a while longer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, though I knew it was a false alarm, I was still nervous and talked with my uncle. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The noises continued for a while longer. And then suddenly, everything went quiet. We lay there in the dark, listening attentively for any sign of movement. After a while, we heard a soft knock on our door. It was my uncle coming to check on us. We both immediately jumped out of bed and ran over to him. However, I still had difficulty falling asleep and my thoughts started to run with my imagination. I didn't know when I fell asleep. But that night left a deep impression on my mind. The next morning, though I knew it was a false alarm , I was still nervous and talked with my uncle. But once I'd explained what had happened, he laughed and said that we'd been fooled by the wind and the tree branches knocking against the house. He said it was only natural to be scared when you're alone in the dark. Looking back on it now, it was a real adventure and something we'll never forget. It taught us that even though the dark can be scary, it's also full of mystery and adventure. And that's what makes it such a wonderful part of the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了当作者还是个小女孩的时候，曾经害怕黑暗。半夜里一个简单的声音就能让作者想象出最可怕的场景。有一次家人在秋天拜访了作者的叔叔，尽管白天阳光明媚，晚上却刮起了狂风。作者和伊莱恩躺在床上，四周一片漆黑，不久之后，作者开始注意到奇怪的声音，好像有人在房间里走动，她们很害怕。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“噪音又持续了一会儿。”可知，第一段可描写原来是作者的叔叔来看她们，那晚使作者印象深刻。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，虽然我知道这是一场虚惊，但我还是很紧张，和叔叔谈了起来”可知，第二段可描写作者与叔叔的交谈以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：实际上是叔叔来看她们——与叔叔交谈——叔叔解释——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 留下深刻印象：make a deep impression /leave a deep impression 发生：happen/take place 开始：start /begin 充满：be full of/be filled 情绪类 害怕：scared/frightened 绝妙的：wonderful/brilliant 【点睛】[高分句型1] I didn't know when I fell asleep.

The original poster works as a school teacher, and every New Year, she tries to bring joy to her students. This time, it turned out especially great and 5. 8 million views on the original video is the best confirmation of this! The teacher’s mother loves to knit (针织) and invited her daughter to play a little game with the students. On New Year’s Eve, the original poster invited the schoolchildren to draw for themselves the“winter hat of their dreams”. Everyone did so, but no one even doubted what would happen next. The kids eagerly drew cute hats, and the teacher’s mom made their imagination come true. It turned out amazingly great, and the video of the teacher starting to hand out hats to the class went even more viral (走红的), collecting an unbelievable 50.4 million views and counting. The large majority of people in the comments gave this teacher the best praise — and to her wonderful mom as well. After all, as some comments have pointed out, not everyone actually realizes how much work, time and love goes into these small hats. “Hats off to your mom, she’s amazing!” one of the commenters wrote. And people also believe that in our time it is absolutely priceless when a teacher really puts their soul into the educational process. People truly don’t realize that this is the teaching. Passion (激情), deep love and hard work characterize this profession. “Thank you to you and your mom!” — perhaps this was the best comment, and we should only join in the gratitude. It is another wonderful New Year story, another expression of care and kindness. 4. What does the teacher try doing to her students? A. Helping them out. B. Brightening their lives. C. Rewarding their efforts. D. Encouraging them to study. 5. Who came up with the idea of knitting hats for the kids? A. The teacher. B. The students. C. The teacher’s mother. D. One of the commenters. 6 What’s the attitude of most people towards the teacher’s action? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Confused. D. Unclear. 7. What does the author want to express through the story? A. The nature of education is love. B. Always prepare for a rainy day. C. Teach kids according to their interests. D. Doing one’s best means one should never stop trying. C If you were to lift up the keys of your keyboard, and take a look below, you’d probably be met with a terrible scene. “We clean our homes but most of us never think to clean our keyboards,” Rebecca Park, an advanced practice nurse, says. “Our keyboards can actually hold high levels of bacteria (细菌),” Park says. “The most common bacteria that are found on our keyboards tend to live on our skin, mouth, and nose. These are then carried to our keyboards, usually by our hands.” And according to one study, this is more likely when many people use the same keyboard, and each brings their own bacteria to the table. That said, touching bacteria-covered surfaces all day long, and then touching your face, can impact your skin. “Dirty electronic devices are a common cause of more acne (粉刺) breakouts,” Dr Yoram Harth explains. In another study, researchers collected samples (样本) from 300 keyboards and found that all of them had bacteria. “The authors concluded that the presence of infective (感染性的) bacteria on these objects indicates that they might be a cause for the spread of skin infections,” Harth says. “Similar overloads of bacteria were also found on smartphone touch screens and computer mice and headphones.” It’s not something you necessarily have to think too much about, but it never hurts to be aware of surfaces with bacteria, and take a few extra prevention steps. “A good way to prevent the spread of infection from your keyboards is to wash your hands before and after using the computer,” Park says. “Soapy water is effective enough to kill most bacteria.” Do this, and you won’t carry as much bacteria to your keyboard, and then back to your face, and so is the opposite. It can also ensure you won’t be clogging your keys with bits from food, especially if you get right back to typing after eating lunch. 8. What do the two studies find? A. Most people never clean their keyboards. B. Most of the bacteria on the keyboards are harmless. C. Most acne breakouts are related to the keyboard use. D. Most electronic devices have bacteria on their surfaces. 9. Which way is suggested in the text to avoid the spread of bacteria? A. Clean the keyboard with soapy water. B. Wash hands after using the computer. C. Wear gloves when using the computer. D. Avoid eating before using the computer. 10. What does the underlined word “clogging” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Blocking. B. Improving. C. Destroying. D. Replacing. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Useful Tips on Choosing a Proper Keyboard B. Practical Ways to Protect Yourself from Bacteria C. What You Should Keep in Mind About Infection D. What Happens When You Don’t Clean Your Keyboard D You know that short walk to the shops and back? It’s about 10 minutes each way and you don’t know if you can be glad to make the trip, but that one short walk could save you from an early death, a new research by Cambridge University shows. In fact, as many as one in 10 early deaths could be prevented if everyone managed at least half the recommended level of physical activity. Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes (中风) — which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths per year in 2019 — and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk. This easy lifestyle change was also noted in an earlier study in January, 2023, so you really should give it a go. By carrying out studies among a total of over 30 million participants, the latest Cambridge research found that just 75 minutes of exercise a week can reduce the risk of cancer by 7%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular (心血管的) disease by 17%. Professor James Woodcock from the MRC Epidemiology Unit said, “We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate. But what we’ve found is that there are many benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.” It goes without saying that doing the recommended 150 minutes per week is more beneficial than just 75 minutes. Around one in six early deaths would be prevented with the two plus hours of exercise, while 11% of cases of cardiovascular disease and 5% of cases of cancer would be avoided.

Or by the end of the decade, perhaps? We often hear about the importance of setting goals. ____16____ We may think of these goals as the key to our happiness—achieve them and everything will be perfect. ____17____ You’ve thought, “Is that it?” Or, “Now what?” That feeling has a name “arrival fallacy (到达谬论)” —the misunderstanding that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness. Whether it’s a new job, owning your dream home or anything else—there might be some joy at first, but if you’re experiencing arrival fallacy, that may be followed by emptiness and pressure to achieve something new.____18____ And achieving our goals is enough to make us happy? Not always. According to experts, we might be overestimating (高估) the happiness that such achievements will bring. And social scientist Adam Dorr says we often make the mistake of imagining our goal as a fixed object, when it’s just part of the process of life. Another different idea explains that arrival fallacy doesn’t mean we shouldn’t set ourselves goals—in fact, we need them to help give our lives focus. As well as large things, our goals should include many small things, like helping out more around the house or spending more time with family.____19____ If we really want to beat arrival fallacy, we also have to work out what makes us happy.____20____ Too many of us spend our spare moments on social media and pay less attention to who and what is around us. A. So why does this happen? B. Even thinking of them helps to cheer us up. C. However, not everyone agrees with this idea. D. Achieving our goals usually takes lots of effort. E. They are small but important and they don’t just end. F. But have you ever reached a goal without feeling happy? G. And spending time with people we care about is often number one for happiness. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Oliver James understands the power of words.

A simple sound in the middle of the night could make me imagine the scariest scenes. My uncle lived alone in his big old house in New Hampshire. The house was surrounded by a huge yard with lots of trees. The inside was very neat and tidy but reminded me of a museum with its ancient objects. Everything looked like it dated from the previous century, from the old-fashioned oil paintings to black-and-white pictures on the walls. Looking back at it now, it would have made the perfect setting for a frightening large house. Once, my family visited my uncle in the fall. During the day, my sister and I made big piles of leaves to jump in with the help of Elaine, my big sister. Our room had a double bed facing a window, out of which stood a huge maple tree. The floor was made of wood that made funny sounds every time we took a step. Although the day had been bright and cheerful, the night turned out to be extremely windy. Soon after Elaine and I were lying in bed and all was dark, I started to notice strange noises, as if someone was walking in the room. It seemed that someone was knocking against the windows, making strange noises. There were even howls (咆哮声) coming from somewhere outside! At this point, I didn’t know what to think. All of a sudden, I thought I heard someone coming up the stairs, and my heart rose to my throat. I thought I saw something moving in the dark corners of my room, and my breath quickened. Elaine sat up in bed, but when she looked at me, she seemed confused, too. We couldn’t help but wonder if we were going crazy. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The noises continued for a while longer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning though I knew it was a false alarm, I was still nervous and talked with my uncle. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CBABB 6-10 CACCB 11-15 CABAC 16-20 ABCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
