She intended to share the challenges and sorrows in her life with her sister. However, when she dialed the area code 01225, she accidentally punched in 01275 instead. This innocent mistake led her to reach Jones in Bristol, England. Recalling about the fateful phone call, Jones said: “When Charlotte realized her error, she apologized sincerely. She was extremely polite and charming. Besides, Charlotte’s warmth and openness were immediately evident.” In the following weeks, they called each other several times. Through their conversations, Jones discovered that Charlotte, who lived in Cornwall, England, had been trying to reach her sister. Charlotte told that during a divorce with her husband, Jones had become a source of comfort for her. She expressed gratitude because Jones’ kindness and encouragement as a stranger had lifted her spirits. Over the next several years, the two forged a strong friendship through their phone conversations, discussing their children — Charlotte, a mother of two, and Jones, a father of three. On Thanksgiving Day, Jones and his wife and children traveled to Cornwall. Finally meeting face-to-face, Charlotte exclaimed, “Oh, it was an remarkable day. The happiest Thanksgiving of my life, which I will never forget!” The sun shone brightly that day, warm as spring. It was a perfect day. After their encounter, Jones posted a photo of himself with Charlotte on Facebook, along with a heartfelt message: “The distance between people in this world is just a wrong phone number. It’s truly unbelievable.” Charlotte’s innocent mistake taught us an important lesson about the unexpected connections that can arise in life. Taking the initiative to reach out can lead to meaningful relationships that enrich our lives in ways we never imagined. We are reminded to cherish the unexpected connections that come into our lives and embrace the beautiful moments that they bring. 41. Why did Charlotte make a mistake when dialing the phone number? A. She was not familiar with the area codes. B. She dialed the wrong area code accidentally. C. The phone she used was not working properly. D. Her sister gave her a wrong number on purpose. 42. What was Jones’ first impression of Charlotte? A. Kind and open. B. Calm and helpful. C Polite and warm. D. Clever and brave. 43. Why is Charlotte so grateful to Jones? A. Because he tried to help her to find her sister. B. Because he comforted her every day by phone. C. Because he helped her with a lot of housework. D. Because he cheered her up during her hard time. 44. The Thanksgiving Day was remarkable because ________. A. Charlotte went to see Jones alone B. Charlotte called Jones again and again C. it was sunny and warm that day D. the two families met face to face 45. What does the author want to tell us through this article? A. People can form a strong friendship through accidental connections. B. Phone numbers can often lead to misunderstandings and mistakes. C. Distance is a barrier to building friendships and relationships. D. A person’s life can change dramatically because of the awful divorce. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是Charlotte一次给姐姐打电话时拨错了电话区号，结果和一个完全陌生的人发展出一段友谊的故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, when she dialed the area code 01225, she accidentally punched in 01275 instead. This innocent mistake led her to reach Jones in Bristol, England.(然而，当她拨打区号01225时，她不小心打错了01275。这个无心的错误使她找到了英国布里斯托尔的Jones。)”可知，Charlotte在拨电话的时候无意拨错了区号，把区号01225拨成了01275。故选B项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Recalling about the fateful phone call, Jones said: “When Charlotte realized her error, she apologized sincerely.

Finally meeting face-to-face, Charlotte exclaimed, “Oh, it was an remarkable day. The happiest Thanksgiving of my life, which I will never forget!”(感恩节那天，Jones和他的妻子和孩子去了康沃尔。Charlotte终于面对面地说：“哦，真是了不起的一天。这是我一生中最快乐的感恩节，我永远不会忘记!”)”可知，在感恩节那天，他们两家在康沃尔旅行时，面对面的相遇了，所以Charlotte认为这个感恩节是真的了不起的一天。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Charlotte’s innocent mistake taught us an important lesson about the unexpected connections that can arise in life. Taking the initiative to reach out can lead to meaningful relationships that enrich our lives in ways we never imagined.(Charlotte无心的错误给我们上了重要的一课，那就是生活中可能会出现意想不到的联系。主动伸出援手可以带来有意义的关系，以我们从未想象过的方式丰富我们的生活。)”可知，生活中出现的意想不到的联系，可能会带来有意义的关系，从而丰富我们的生活，结合第四段中的“Over the next several years, the two forged a strong friendship through their phone conversations, discussing their children — Charlotte, a mother of two, and Jones, a father of three.(在接下来的几年里，两人通过电话交谈建立了深厚的友谊，谈论他们的孩子——Charlotte是两个孩子的母亲，Jones是三个孩子的父亲。)”可知，由于Charlotte 的意想不到的联系使她们建立了深厚的友谊，由此可知，本文作者是想要告诉我们人们可以通过意想不到的联系形成牢固的友谊。故选A项。 C It turns out that humans aren’t the only ones taking mathematics tests. A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition and subtraction (减法). For the experiment, the scientists lured individual bees with sugar water. “She flies back to the hive, gives it to the other bees, and two minutes later she’ll come back and do it again,” Dyer said, a scientist from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. They taught and tested 14 bees over the course of the experiment — one bee at a time. To learn the rules, a bee first would be shown cards printed with a number of shapes in one of two colors: blue, if they were supposed to add one to the shapes on the card, or yellow, if they were meant to subtract one shape. Then, the bee would choose an answer to the problem by flying to one of two presented solutions. If it chose well, it found itself near a solution of delicious sugar water. If it chose poorly, however, it would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. The researchers found that each bee picked the correct answer in both addition and subtraction trials about 70percent of the time. Dyer said “Problem-solving requires both long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory allows the bees to remember that blue and yellow equate to separate mathematical rules. Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem.” “It is assumed that humans are very complex, and there’s a decreasing level of complexity going away from humans,” said Muth, an animal congnition researcher who wasn’t involved in this study. But in fact, complex awareness, like the mathematical problems solved by bees, can be made up of relativlely simple components. That doesn’t explain why bees might have evolved the ability to figure out mathematical problems, though. One possibility is that bees didn’t evolve to do addition and subtraction. They just evolved to be smart enough to figure it out. Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons (神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?” 46. What are the scientists training bees to do in the experiment? A. Flying on blue and yellow cards. B. Adding shapes to different cards. C. Solving simple mathematical problems. D. Tasting water of two flavors. 47. What would happen if the bees chose the wrong answer to the problem? A. They would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. B. They would be treated with sugar drink. C. They would be permitted to leave the hive. D. They would be given a beautiful shape card. 48. What role does memory play in problem-solving? A. Long-term memory plays a bigger part. B. Long-term memory contributes to recalling. C. Short-term memory facilitates remembering. D. Short-term memory is as important as long-term memory. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Bees are as complex as man in many aspects. B. Bees are by nature good at mathematics. C. Complex awareness can consist of simple components. D. Bees learn to solve maths problems under certain pressure. 50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Human achievements can be limitless. B. Human brains deserve good study. C. Humans must fully develop neurons. D. Humans are good at observation. 【答案】46. C 47. A 48. D 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一群认知科学家训练蜜蜂做简单的加减法的科学研究。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition and subtraction(减法). (一群认知科学家正在训练蜜蜂做简单的加减法。)”可知，科学家在实验中训练蜜蜂解决简单的数学题。故选C项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If it chose poorly, however, it would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. (然而，如果它选错了，它就会受到一杯难喝的饮料的惩罚。)”可知，如果蜜蜂选择了错误的答案就会受到一杯难喝的饮料的惩罚。故选A项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Problem-solving requires both long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory allows the bees to remember that blue and yellow equate to separate mathematical rules. Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem. (解决问题既需要长期记忆，也需要短期记忆。长期记忆允许蜜蜂记住蓝色和黄色等同于单独的数学规则。短期记忆让他们回忆起特定问题中的实际数字。)”可知，在解决问题的时候，短期记忆和长期记忆一样重要。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“But in fact, complex awareness, like the mathematical problems solved by bees, can be made up of relativlely simple components. (但事实上，复杂的意识，就像蜜蜂解决的数学问题一样，可以由相对简单的组成部分组成。)”可知，我们能从文中了解到复杂意识可以由简单成分组成。故选C项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons(神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?”(Dyer说，观察一只大脑只有不到一百万个神经元的小动物学会了一项非常复杂的任务，让他想到，‘哇，人类能做到什么？’)”可以推知，一个小小的蜜蜂竟能学会非常复杂的任务，那么，强大的人类的成就可能就是无限的。故选A项。 D I used to read tens of books every month. But as I grew up, things changed. I find it increasingly difficult to find the time and motivation to sit down and read a book from cover to cover. To keep track of the books I’ve read, I turned to Goodreads, a social networking platform for book lovers. It’s a great way to share recommendations with friends and show off your literary progress. However, if we can’t achieve reading goals or can’t catch up with our friends, it can also exacerbate the feeling of “not doing enough” of your favorite hobby. Halimah Begum, a literature editor from London, understands the struggle. “With Goodreads constantly tracking my reading, I am often worrying and feeling the pressure to read more books.” she says. “Sometimes, I feel under great pressure because I don’t want to fall behind on my goal and not reach it at the end of the year.” I asked Nicole Villegas, an occupational therapist, about our obsession with tracking everything we do. She explained that it can give us a sense of control and provide us with a tool to measure our progress. “When we track things like the books we’ve read or the friends we’ve visited, we’re essentially gathering data about our hobbies,” she says. “It’s a powerful tool to help us look back on our progress and give us a sense of accomplishment.” Unfortunately, the social aspect of apps like Goodreads doesn’t help. “Setting goals or tracking progress on public platforms adds a layer of extrinsic motivation that can also contribute to a sense of pressure to perform or give in to social comparisons,” Villegas says. “When it comes to reading, people may be tempted to finish books that aren’t a good fit instead of following their interests.” Despite this, we often forget the point of doing hobbies in the first place. “Reading shouldn’t be something we have to ‘smash’, but just what we do for the joy of it. Maintain the feeling as you navigate your book-tracking app and if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or pressured, set it aside,” Villegas continues. “At the end of the day, it’s you and your book.” 51. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Worsen. B. Affect. C. Relieve. D. Improve. 52. What does Halimah Begum think of tracking one’s reading? A. It is a waste of time. B. It makes one feel stressed. C. It encourages one to read more. D. It helps one to enjoy reading. 53. Why do we like to track everything we do according to Nicole Villegas? A. To show off to our friends. B. To try to spend our time wisely. C. To find what suits us most. D. To obtain a sense of achievement. 54. What’s Nicole Villegas’s suggestion about using book-tracking apps? A. To avoid using it. B. To use it reasonably. C. To rely more on it. D. To make full use of it. 55. What’s the main idea of this article? A. The best way to track reading progress — Goodreads. B. The necessity to ignore social media and focus on hobbies. C. The positive and negative effects of tracking our hobbies. D. The importance of setting goals to help people stay motivated. 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. D 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了追踪我们的爱好的积极和消极的影响。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“To keep track of the books I’ve read, I turned to Goodreads, a social networking platform for book lovers. It’s a great way to share recommendations with friends and show off your literary progress. However, if we can’t achieve reading goals or can’t catch up with our friends, it can also exacerbate the feeling of “not doing enough” of your favorite hobby.(为了记录我读过的书，我求助于Goodreads，这是一个为图书爱好者提供的社交网络平台。这是一个与朋友分享推荐并展示你的文学进步的好方法。然而，如果我们无法实现阅读目标或无法赶上朋友，这也会exacerbate你对自己喜欢的爱好“做得不够”的感觉)”可知，文段前后表示转折关系，使用Goodreads是展示你文学进步的好方法，但如果无法实现阅读目标或无法赶上朋友，也会加剧你对自己的爱好做的不够的感觉，推测划线单词表示“使恶化”，与worsen意义相近。故选A。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““With Goodreads constantly tracking my reading, I am often worrying and feeling the pressure to read more books.” she says. “Sometimes, I feel under great pressure because I don’t want to fall behind on my goal and not reach it at the end of the year.”(她说：“由于Goodreads不断追踪我的阅读情况，我经常感到担忧，并感受到阅读更多书籍的压力。”。“有时候，我感到压力很大，因为我不想在年底落后于目标而无法实现。”)”可知，Halimah Begum感觉追踪自己的阅读会让人感到有压力。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““When we track things like the books we’ve read or the friends we’ve visited, we’re essentially gathering data about our hobbies,” she says. “It’s a powerful tool to help us look back on our progress and give us a sense of accomplishment.”(她说：“当我们追踪我们读过的书或拜访过的朋友时，我们基本上是在收集有关我们爱好的数据。”。“这是一个强大的工具，可以帮助我们回顾自己的进步，给我们成就感。”)”可知，根据Nicole Villegas所说，我们喜欢追踪我们所做的一切是因为这可以帮助我们回顾自己的进步，使我们获得成就感。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite this, we often forget the point of doing hobbies in the first place. “Reading shouldn’t be something we have to ‘smash’， but just what we do for the joy of it. Maintain the feeling as you navigate your book-tracking app and if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or pressured, set it aside,” Villegas continues. “At the end of the day, it’s you and your book.”(尽管如此，我们还是常常忘记了做业余爱好的首要意义。Villegas继续说道：“阅读不应该是我们必须‘粉碎’的东西，而应该是我们为了快乐而做的事情。当你浏览你的图书追踪应用程序时，保持这种感觉，如果你发现自己感到不知所措或有压力，就把它放在一边。”。“归根结底，是你和你的书。”)”可知，Nicole Villegas对于使用图书跟踪应用程序的建议是要合理使用它。故选B。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To keep track of the books I’ve read, I turned to Goodreads, a social networking platform for book lovers. It’s a great way to share recommendations with friends and show off your literary progress. However, if we can’t achieve reading goals or can’t catch up with our friends, it can also exacerbate the feeling of “not doing enough” of your favorite hobby.(为了记录我读过的书，我求助于Goodreads，这是一个为图书爱好者提供的社交网络平台。这是一个与朋友分享推荐并展示你的文学进步的好方法。然而，如果我们无法实现阅读目标或无法赶上朋友，这也会加剧你对自己喜欢的爱好“做得不够”的感觉)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了追踪我们的爱好的积极和消极影响。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题， 共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分 10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 There are always people who take great pleasure in finding faults with others. However, life can become wonderful when you are not constantly busy pointing out its flaws. A few years ago, I received a letter from Kerry, a seventeen-year-old, who described herself as an expert fault-finder. She was almost always bothered by things and found that people constantly annoyed her. Nothing was ever good enough. She was extremely critical of herself and also found faults in her friends, which made her quite a boring person to be around. Unfortunately, it took a terrible accident to change her attitude. Her best friend had a serious car crash and was badly injured. What made it almost unbearable was the fact that the day before the accident, Kerry had visited her friend and spent the entire time criticizing her choice of boyfriends, her lifestyle, her relationship with her mother, and various other things she felt the need to point out. It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry realized that she needed to appreciate life rather than harshly(严厉地) criticize everything. She was able to extend her newfound wisdom to other aspects of her life as well. Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme in fault-finding, but if we are honest, we can be sharply critical of the world. I’m not suggesting that you ignore problems or pretend things are better than they are, but rather that you learn to accept things as they are — most of the time, especially when they’re not of significant importance. Train yourself to “bite your tongue” and with a little practice, you’ll become really good at letting things go. When you do, you’ll regain your enthusiasm and love for life. So learning to accept and appreciate life’s imperfections can bring about positive changes in our attitude and well-being. By redirecting our focus to the good things in life, we can create a more fulfilling and joyful existence. 56. Why was Kerry a boring person to be around? (no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What caused Kerry to change her attitude? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What did Kerry realize after her friend was badly hurt? ( no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 59. How do you understand “bite your tongue” in Paragraph 5?(no more than 2 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 60. How do you like people who always find faults in others? And why? ( no more than 25 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Because she was extremely critical of herself and also found faults in her friends. 57. A horrible accident involving her best friend’s serious car crash. 58. Kerry realized the need to appreciate life and to stop harshly criticizing everything. 59. Keep quiet. / Remain silent. 60. I think they are boring/annoying/critical. Because this kind of people will make others around them bored and stressful. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过Kerry的例子说明，对朋友不能总是吹毛求疵，有时候保持沉默就会使生活变得美好。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“She was extremely critical of herself and also found faults in her friends, which made her quite a boring person to be around. (她对自己非常挑剔，也对朋友吹毛求疵，这使她成为一个令人讨厌的人。)”可知，因为Kerry对自己非常挑剔，也对朋友吹毛求疵，所以她成为一个令人讨厌的人。故答案为Because she was extremely critical of herself and also found faults in her friends. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Unfortunately, it took a terrible accident to change her attitude. Her best friend had a serious car crash and was badly injured. (不幸的是，一场可怕的事故改变了她的态度。她最好的朋友遭遇了严重的车祸，受了重伤。)”和“It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry realized that she needed to appreciate life rather than harshly(严厉地) criticize everything.(直到她的朋友受到严重伤害，Kerry才意识到，她应该珍惜生活，而不是严厉地批评一切。)”可知，是一场涉及她最好的朋友的严重车祸的可怕事故让她改变了态度。故答案为A horrible accident involving her best friend’s serious car crash. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry realized that she needed to appreciate life rather than harshly(严厉地) criticize everything.(直到她的朋友受到严重伤害，Kerry才意识到，她应该珍惜生活，而不是严厉地批评一切。)”可知，在她的朋友受了重伤之后，Kerry意识到要珍惜生活，不要再严厉地批评一切。故答案为Kerry realized the need to appreciate life and to stop harshly criticizing everything. 【59题详解】 考查词义猜测。阅读全文，根据第一段“There are always people who take great pleasure in finding faults with others. However, life can become wonderful when you are not constantly busy pointing out its flaws. (总有一些人以挑别人的毛病为乐。然而，当你不总是忙着指出它的缺点时，生活也会变得美好。)”可知，本文通过Kerry的例子说明，对朋友不能总是吹毛求疵，有时候保持沉默就会使生活变得美好。结合短语后文“When you do, you’ll regain your enthusiasm and love for life. (当你这样做的时候，你会重新获得对生活的热情和热爱。)”可以推知，“Train yourself to “bite your tongue” and with a little practice, you’ll become really good at letting things go.(训练自己“bite your tongue”，稍加练习，你就会变得非常善于放松。)”其中bite your tongue为“保持沉默”的意思。故答案为Keep quiet. / Remain silent. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。通读全文，根据第一段“There are always people who take great pleasure in finding faults with others. However, life can become wonderful when you are not constantly busy pointing out its flaws. (总有一些人以挑别人的毛病为乐。然而，当你不总是忙着指出它的缺点时，生活也会变得美好。)”可知，本文通过Kerry的例子说明，对朋友不能总是吹毛求疵，有时候保持沉默就会使生活变得美好，所以我认为那些总是喜欢找别人缺点的人令人讨厌、令人恼怒、挑剔苛刻。因为这种人会让周围的人感到厌烦和压力。故答案为I think they are boring/annoying/critical. Because this kind of people will make others around them bored and stressful. 第二节：书面表达 （满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李华，下周你校将与英国的友好学校举办一场在线交流活动，主题为“如何学好中国古诗词 (How to learn Chinese ancient poetry well)”。请你根据以下提示撰写一篇发言稿： 1. 学习中国古诗词的意义； 2. 学习中国古诗词的建议； 3. 表达愿望和祝福。 注意:1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Hello, everyone! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you. 【答案】范文 Hello, everyone!

B Twenty years ago, Charlotte attempted to call her sister in Bath, England. She intended to share the challenges and sorrows in her life with her sister. However, when she dialed the area code 01225, she accidentally punched in 01275 instead. This innocent mistake led her to reach Jones in Bristol, England. Recalling about the fateful phone call, Jones said: “When Charlotte realized her error, she apologized sincerely. She was extremely polite and charming. Besides, Charlotte’s warmth and openness were immediately evident.” In the following weeks, they called each other several times. Through their conversations, Jones discovered that Charlotte, who lived in Cornwall, England, had been trying to reach her sister. Charlotte told that during a divorce with her husband, Jones had become a source of comfort for her. She expressed gratitude because Jones’ kindness and encouragement as a stranger had lifted her spirits. Over the next several years, the two forged a strong friendship through their phone conversations, discussing their children — Charlotte, a mother of two, and Jones, a father of three. On Thanksgiving Day, Jones and his wife and children traveled to Cornwall. Finally meeting face-to-face, Charlotte exclaimed, “Oh, it was an remarkable day. The happiest Thanksgiving of my life, which I will never forget!” The sun shone brightly that day, warm as spring. It was a perfect day. After their encounter, Jones posted a photo of himself with Charlotte on Facebook, along with a heartfelt message: “The distance between people in this world is just a wrong phone number. It’s truly unbelievable.” Charlotte’s innocent mistake taught us an important lesson about the unexpected connections that can arise in life. Taking the initiative to reach out can lead to meaningful relationships that enrich our lives in ways we never imagined. We are reminded to cherish the unexpected connections that come into our lives and embrace the beautiful moments that they bring. 41. Why did Charlotte make a mistake when dialing the phone number? A. She was not familiar with the area codes. B. She dialed the wrong area code accidentally. C. The phone she used was not working properly. D. Her sister gave her a wrong number on purpose. 42.

C It turns out that humans aren’t the only ones taking mathematics tests. A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition and subtraction (减法). For the experiment, the scientists lured individual bees with sugar water. “She flies back to the hive, gives it to the other bees, and two minutes later she’ll come back and do it again,” Dyer said, a scientist from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. They taught and tested 14 bees over the course of the experiment — one bee at a time. To learn the rules, a bee first would be shown cards printed with a number of shapes in one of two colors: blue, if they were supposed to add one to the shapes on the card, or yellow, if they were meant to subtract one shape. Then, the bee would choose an answer to the problem by flying to one of two presented solutions. If it chose well, it found itself near a solution of delicious sugar water. If it chose poorly, however, it would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. The researchers found that each bee picked the correct answer in both addition and subtraction trials about 70percent of the time. Dyer said, “Problem-solving requires both long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory allows the bees to remember that blue and yellow equate to separate mathematical rules. Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem.” “It is assumed that humans are very complex, and there’s a decreasing level of complexity going away from humans,” said Muth, an animal congnition researcher who wasn’t involved in this study. But in fact, complex awareness, like the mathematical problems solved by bees, can be made up of relativlely simple components. That doesn’t explain why bees might have evolved the ability to figure out mathematical problems, though. One possibility is that bees didn’t evolve to do addition and subtraction. They just evolved to be smart enough to figure it out. Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons (神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?” 46. What are the scientists training bees to do in the experiment? A. Flying on blue and yellow cards. B. Adding shapes to different cards. C. Solving simple mathematical problems. D. Tasting water of two flavors. 47. What would happen if the bees chose the wrong answer to the problem? A. They would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. B. They would be treated with sugar drink. C. They would be permitted to leave the hive. D. They would be given a beautiful shape card. 48. What role does memory play in problem-solving? A. Long-term memory plays a bigger part. B. Long-term memory contributes to recalling. C. Short-term memory facilitates remembering. D. Short-term memory is as important as long-term memory. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Bees are as complex as man in many aspects. B. Bees are by nature good at mathematics. C. Complex awareness can consist of simple components. D. Bees learn to solve maths problems under certain pressure. 50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Human achievements can be limitless. B. Human brains deserve good study. C. Humans must fully develop neurons. D. Humans are good at observation. D I used to read tens of books every month. But as I grew up, things changed. I find it increasingly difficult to find the time and motivation to sit down and read a book from cover to cover. To keep track of the books I’ve read, I turned to Goodreads, a social networking platform for book lovers. It’s a great way to share recommendations with friends and show off your literary progress. However, if we can’t achieve reading goals or can’t catch up with our friends, it can also exacerbate the feeling of “not doing enough” of your favorite hobby. Halimah Begum, a literature editor from London, understands the struggle. “With Goodreads constantly tracking my reading, I am often worrying and feeling the pressure to read more books.” she says. “Sometimes, I feel under great pressure because I don’t want to fall behind on my goal and not reach it at the end of the year.” I asked Nicole Villegas, an occupational therapist, about our obsession with tracking everything we do. She explained that it can give us a sense of control and provide us with a tool to measure our progress. “When we track things like the books we’ve read or the friends we’ve visited, we’re essentially gathering data about our hobbies,” she says. “It’s a powerful tool to help us look back on our progress and give us a sense of accomplishment.” Unfortunately, the social aspect of apps like Goodreads doesn’t help. “Setting goals or tracking progress on public platforms adds a layer of extrinsic motivation that can also contribute to a sense of pressure to perform or give in to social comparisons,” Villegas says. “When it comes to reading, people may be tempted to finish books that aren’t a good fit instead of following their interests.” Despite this, we often forget the point of doing hobbies in the first place. “Reading shouldn’t be something we have to ‘smash’, but just what we do for the joy of it. Maintain the feeling as you navigate your book-tracking app and if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or pressured, set it aside,” Villegas continues. “At the end of the day, it’s you and your book.” 51. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Worsen. B. Affect. C. Relieve. D. Improve. 52. What does Halimah Begum think of tracking one’s reading? A. It is a waste of time. B. It makes one feel stressed. C. It encourages one to read more. D. It helps one to enjoy reading. 53. Why do we like to track everything we do according to Nicole Villegas? A To show off to our friends. B. To try to spend our time wisely. C. To find what suits us most. D. To obtain a sense of achievement. 54. What’s Nicole Villegas’s suggestion about using book-tracking apps? A. To avoid using it. B. To use it reasonably. C. To rely more on it. D. To make full use of it. 55. What’s the main idea of this article? A. The best way to track reading progress — Goodreads. B. The necessity to ignore social media and focus on hobbies. C. The positive and negative effects of tracking our hobbies. D. The importance of setting goals to help people stay motivated. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题， 共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分 10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 There are always people who take great pleasure in finding faults with others. However, life can become wonderful when you are not constantly busy pointing out its flaws. A few years ago, I received a letter from Kerry, a seventeen-year-old, who described herself as an expert fault-finder. She was almost always bothered by things and found that people constantly annoyed her. Nothing was ever good enough. She was extremely critical of herself and also found faults in her friends, which made her quite a boring person to be around. Unfortunately, it took a terrible accident to change her attitude. Her best friend had a serious car crash and was badly injured. What made it almost unbearable was the fact that the day before the accident, Kerry had visited her friend and spent the entire time criticizing her choice of boyfriends, her lifestyle, her relationship with her mother, and various other things she felt the need to point out. It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry realized that she needed to appreciate life rather than harshly(严厉地) criticize everything. She was able to extend her newfound wisdom to other aspects of her life as well. Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme in fault-finding, but if we are honest, we can be sharply critical of the world. I’m not suggesting that you ignore problems or pretend things are better than they are, but rather that you learn to accept things as they are — most of the time, especially when they’re not of significant importance. Train yourself to “bite your tongue” and with a little practice, you’ll become really good at letting things go. When you do, you’ll regain your enthusiasm and love for life. So learning to accept and appreciate life’s imperfections can bring about positive changes in our attitude and well-being. By redirecting our focus to the good things in life, we can create a more fulfilling and joyful existence. 56. Why was Kerry a boring person to be around?
