What does Jorge Serrador say about brain freeze? A. It can last for two minutes. B. It is impossible to prevent. C. The cause of it is unknown yet. 20. What does Elizabeth Loder think of studying brain freeze? A. Extremely silly. B. Very interesting. C. Quite surprising. 【答案】18 A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: For many people eating ice cream or drinking an icy drink too fast can produce a really painful headache. It usually hits in the front of the brain behind the forehead. The technical name for this phenomenon is cold stimulus headache. But people also refer to it as ice cream headache or brain freeze. The good news is that brain freeze is easy to prevent just eat slowly. The other bit of good news is that these headaches don’t last very long, a minute at most. Jorge Serrador studies brain freeze. He hopes there will be better ways to prevent or treat it. Serrador says no one really knows yet what causes it, but there are some theories. For example, Serrador study has shown that just before the brain freeze hits, there is an increase in blood flow to the front of the brain that increases the volume, and therefore increases some pressure in that area. He says the brain may interpret increased pressure as pain. Harvard medical school headache researcher Elizabeth Loder says it’s not all that surprising to think scientists may learn something important from studying ice cream headaches. Some people think these things are silly. They’re actually really fascinating, says Loder. 第二部分阅读(共两节, 满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Crying in H Mart, by Michelle Zauner This is the memoir (回忆录) and first book of Michelle Zauner, lead singer of the band Japanese Breakfast.

(为人父母是很有挑战性和累人的，但你不必在为别人创造生活的时候感到迷失了自我。)”可知，《Overwhelmed》这本书由布里吉德·舒尔特撰写，讨论了为人父母的挑战和疲惫之处。它专注于如何在为别人创造生活的同时，为自己找回一些时间。这表明这本书是专为父母，特别是新父母准备的，他们可能感到不知所措，需要关于如何平衡自己的需求与育儿要求的建议。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week, by Tiffany Shlain部分中的“In 24/6, filmmaker and popular speaker Shlain introduces readers to what she calls a “Technology Shabbat” -the one day, every week, where she and her family turn off all electronic devices. Beyond detailing the many ways she and her family have benefited, Shlain gives helpful, reassuring advice for setting your own tech shabbat and controlling device use. (在24/6中，电影制作人和著名演说家Shlain向读者介绍了她所谓的“科技安息日”——每周有一天，她和她的家人关闭所有的电子设备。除了详细介绍她和她的家人从中受益的许多方面外，Shlain还提供了一些有用的、令人放心的建议，帮助你设定自己的科技安息日，控制设备的使用。)”可知，这本书由Tiffany Shlain撰写，介绍了她所称的“科技安息日”——每周有一天，她和她的家人会关闭所有电子设备。书中详细说明了她和她的家人是如何从中受益的，并提供了关于如何设置自己的科技安息日和控制设备使用的有用、令人安心的建议。因此，这本书可能会帮助你实现无电子设备的生活方式。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Crying in H Mart. by Michelle Zauner部分中“It’s a story of Zauner’s grief and an exploration of all the gifts (language, food, history) her mother left behind. (这是一个关于Zauner悲伤的故事，也是对她母亲留下的所有礼物(语言、食物、历史)的探索。)”、Overwhelmed, by Brigid Schulte部分中的“Parenthood can be challenging and tiring, but you don’t have to feel like you’ve lost yourself while you’re creating a life for someone else. (为人父母是很有挑战性和累人的，但你不必在为别人创造生活的时候感到迷失了自我。)”、On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, by Ocean Vuong部分中的“Ocean Vuong is a Vietnamese-American poet and his first novel is written in the form of a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. (吴洋是越南裔美国诗人，他的第一部小说是以儿子写给不识字的母亲的一封信的形式写成的。)”以及24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week, by Tiffany Shlain部分中的“In 24/6, filmmaker and popular speaker Shlain introduces readers to what she calls a “Technology Shabbat” -the one day, every week, where she and her family turn off all electronic devices. (在24/6中，电影制作人和著名演说家Shlain向读者介绍了她所谓的“科技安息日”——每周有一天，她和她的家人关闭所有的电子设备。)”可知，《Crying in H Mart》讲述了作者作为韩国裔美国人的成长和失去母亲的经历，其中涉及家庭关系。《Overwhelmed》讨论了为人父母的挑战和疲惫，直接关注家庭生活。《On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous》虽然不是直接以家庭为主题，但它是从一个儿子给母亲的信的角度来写的，因此也涉及了家庭关系。《24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week》讨论了如何控制电子设备的使用，这通常也是家庭生活中的一部分。因此，这四本书的共同点是它们都与家庭生活有关。故选A。 B In 1972, Barbara Rieco penned a heartfelt children’s book that held her dream within its pages. Despite her best efforts, the manuscript (手稿) faced repeated rejection from publishers, leading her to eventually set aside her dream of becoming a published author. Little did she know that, decades later, her grandson would turn the dream into reality. Chad Cooper, a production professional, decided to give his grandmother the ultimate Christmas gift — the publication of her treasured book. Visiting her in Baltimore for the holidays, he secretly took her original manuscript, along with the drawings for the book she had obtained from an artist years ago, and transformed them into a beautifully printed book. On Christmas morning, as Barbara unwrapped the carefully crafted gift, she was overcome with emotion as she realized what the surprise was. The moment, captured and posted online by Chad, quickly resonated (产生共鸣) with viewers, and the video became a hit. “This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me in my entire life,” Barbara said in the video, who also gave her grandson a big hug, with tears. Chad’s thoughtful gesture didn’t just end with the surprise; he also included a link to the book on Amazon, making it available to the public. The response was nothing short of magic — within days, Barbara’s once-forgotten book skyrocketed to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list, earning the coveted spot as a best seller. Chad filmed the reaction to that news and shared more updates. Barbara said she had been reading every single comment online and wanted to respond to them all but there were thousands of them. “I’ve bought Barbara Rieco’s book even though I’m 21 and don’t even have kids. I’ve read it and I really like it,” said one viewer. “My children enjoy reading the book and they recommend me to read it as well,” another viewer commented. Barbara Rieco’s book, now accepted by a new generation of readers, continues to spread joy and inspiration. 24. What did Chad Cooper do for his grandmother? A. He had her book published. B. He drew for her new book. C. He arranged an artist to meet her. D. He helped finish her manuscript. 25. How did Barbara Rieco feel when receiving her grandson’s Christmas gift? A. Calm and proud. B. Lucky but regretful. C. Delighted but worried. D. Excited and grateful. 26. What does the underlined word “coveted” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Dangerous. B. Desired. C. Empty. D. Forgotten. 27. Why are the two viewers mentioned in the text? A. To reveal Barbara’s gift for writing books. B. To show the popularity of Barbara’s book. C. To tell the influence of reading on the young. D. To highlight the value of Chad’s Christmas gift. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文属于记叙文，讲述了一个温馨的故事，关于孙子帮助祖母实现其长期未实现的出版梦想。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Chad Cooper, a production professional, decided to give his grandmother the ultimate Christmas gift—the publication of her treasured book. (Chad Cooper是一名专业制作人员，他决定送给祖母一份终极圣诞礼物——出版她珍爱的书。)”可知，Chad Cooper将他祖母的书出版了，作为送给祖母的圣诞礼物。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“On Christmas morning, as Barbara unwrapped the carefully crafted gift, she was overcome with emotion as she realized what the surprise was. (圣诞节的早晨，当芭芭拉打开精心制作的礼物时，当她意识到这是一个惊喜时，她激动不已。)”和第四段中““This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me in my entire life,” Barbara said in the video, who also gave her grandson a big hug, with tears. (芭芭拉在视频中说：“这可能是我一生中别人为我做过的最好的事情了。”她还流着泪给了孙子一个大大的拥抱。)”可知，当Barbara Rieco收到孙子的圣诞礼物时，她感到非常激动和感激。故选D。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。由文章第五段中“The response was nothing short of magic—within days, Barbara’s once-forgotten book skyrocketed to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list (人们的反应简直太神奇了——几天之内，芭芭拉这本一度被遗忘的书就飙升至亚马逊畅销书排行榜的榜首)”可知，在Chad的帮助下，Barbara的书从被遗忘的状态一跃成为了亚马逊畅销书榜首，赢得了梦寐以求的畅销书宝座。因此此处coveted意为“渴望的，梦寐以求的”。A. Dangerous危险的；B. Desired渴望的；C. Empty空的；D. Forgotten被遗忘了的。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第三段““I’ve bought Barbara Rieco’s book even though I’m 21 and don’t even have kids. I’ve read it and I really like it,” said one viewer. (“尽管我21岁，甚至没有孩子，但我还是买了芭芭拉·里科的书。我已经看过了，我真的很喜欢。”)”和倒数第二段““My children enjoy reading the book and they recommend me to read it as well,” another viewer commented. (另一位观众评论道：“我的孩子们喜欢读这本书，他们也推荐我去读。”)”可知，这两段提到了两位观众的评论，一位是没有孩子但仍然购买并喜欢这本书的21岁读者，另一位是说自己的孩子喜欢这本书并推荐给家长阅读的观众。这些评论表明Barbara的书受到了广泛欢迎。故选B。 C Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein (胶原蛋白) from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea (眼角膜) and restored vision to 20 people. The promising result of the trial brings hope to people suffering from corneal blindness. An estimated 12.7 million people around the world are blind due to their corneas being damaged or diseased. Their only way of regaining vision is to receive a transplanted cornea from a human donor. But just one in 70 patients receives a cornea transplant. Furthermore, most of them live in low and middle-income countries in which access to treatments is very limited. To avoid the above disadvantages of traditional cornea treatment, the researchers used collagen protein from pig’s skin. “It is possible to develop a biomaterial that meets all the criteria for being used as human implants (移植物), which can be mass-produced and reach more people with vision problems,” said Professor Neil Lagali. While donated corneas must be used within two weeks, the bioengineered corneas can be stored for up to two years before use. The pig skin used is a byproduct of the food industry, making it easy to access. The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the disease. No stitches (缝针) are needed with this new method. In a pilot study, 14 of the 20 participants were blind before the operation. After two years, all of the patients regained their sight. Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect vision after the operation. The researchers also want to study whether the technology can be used to treat more eye diseases, and whether the implant can be adapted to the individual for even greater effectiveness. 28. What is the disadvantage of traditional cornea treatment? A. Serious side effects. B. Low availability rate. C. Poor medical equipment. D. Complicated surgical process. 29. What do we know about the biomaterial? A. It has higher production costs. B. It can be stored for much longer. C. It is able to be used for several times. D. It can help people prevent vision problems. 30. Which of the following best describes the new surgical method? A. Successful. B. Ineffective. C. Convenient. D. Controversial. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To spread knowledge about cornea donation. B. To show the difficulties of treating blindness. C. To call on people to protect their eyes properly. D. To present a new breakthrough in the medical field. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究人员开发出一种由猪皮肤胶原蛋白制成的材料，这种材料类似于人类角膜，并使20人恢复了视力，这项试验的可喜结果给角膜失明患者带来了希望。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But just one in 70 patients receives a cornea transplant. Furthermore, most of them live in low and middle-income countries in which access to treatments is very limited.(但70名患者中只有1人接受了角膜移植。此外，他们大多数生活在低收入和中等收入国家，这些国家获得治疗的机会非常有限)”可知，只有七十分之一的患者能有机会接受眼角膜移植，而且大多数人还生活在低收入和中等收入国家。由此可知，在这些国家，获得治疗的途径非常有限。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While donated corneas must be used within two weeks, the bioengineered corneas can be stored for up to two years before use.(虽然捐献的角膜必须在两周内使用，但生物工程角膜在使用前可以储存长达两年)”可知，生物材料可以储存更长的时间。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“No stitches (缝针) are needed with this new method. In a pilot study, 14 of the 20 participants were blind before the operation. After two years, all of the patients regained their sight. Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect vision after the operation.(这种新方法不需要缝针。在一项初步研究中，20名参与者中有14人在手术前是盲人。两年后，所有的病人都恢复了视力。三名印度盲人在手术后恢复了完美的视力)”可推知，这项新的手术方法是成功的。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein (胶原蛋白) from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea (眼角膜) and restored vision to 20 people.(研究人员开发出一种由猪皮肤胶原蛋白制成的材料，这种材料类似于人类角膜，并使20人恢复了视力)”和倒数第二段的“The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the disease.(研究人员还开发了一种新的手术方法来治疗这种疾病)”可知，文章主要介绍了科研人员提取猪皮中的胶原蛋白，制成了人类角膜的替代品，并且还开发了一种新的治疗方法。由此推知，文章的目的是展示医学领域的新突破。故选D。 D “Red tide” is a natural phenomenon that frequently occurs in many places around the world. The phenomenon is the result of extreme growth of tiny algae (海藻) called K. Brevis, which has a red color, giving the water surface a very noticeable red color. K. Brevis will give off chemicals that can attack the nervous systems of animals, which often leads to deadly results. Florida citizens are no stranger to “red tide”, which occurs along the state’s Gulf Coast annually. However, the most recent outbreak of red tide has so far lasted much longer and spread across nearly 145 miles of the coastline in southwestern Florida. The long season has caused the death of tons of fish and other animals which were washed up on the beaches all the way from Tampa to Naples. The smell of the dead animals has kept away thousands of locals and tourists that frequent the area’s long beaches. In view of that, in August, Florida declared a state of emergency for the seven places where K. Brevis has been growing quickly, providing $ 3 million to help with research, cleanup, and wildlife rescue. Recently, the situation of red tide in Florida may be exacerbated due to an outbreak of algae Trichodesmium in the waters offshore of Manatee County. Trichodesmium floats on the water’s surface sucking nitrogen (氮) from the air while K. Brevis lives below the surface obtaining nitrogen from the water. If these two masses of algae mix, the dying Trichodesmium may end up providing nitrogen for K. Brevis, lengthening its stay in the area. Researchers recently are exploring the idea of introducing other algal species to Florida. Among the possibilities is the Diatom. It’s a kind of algae that can grow quickly in the water. Its growth will consume a large amount of nitrogen from the water. So it competes with K. Brevis for nitrogen. Another possibility is algae known to give off chemicals that stop the growth of red tide. The 10-month-long red tide outbreak in Florida may be the result of a combination of heavy rainfall, warmer ocean temperatures, and pollution. Now it’s time for us to do something. 32. What can we learn about K. Brevis? A. It’s caused by red tide. B. It can harm ocean life. C. It’s facing dying out. D. It exists mainly on land. 33. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The researchers’ study of algae. B. The tourism potential in Florida. C. The possible ways to deal with red tide. D. The consequences of red tide in Florida. 34. What does the underlined part mean? A. Worsened. B. Studied. C. Handled. D. Ignored. 35. What’s the possible function of the algae Diatom? A. To change the color of K. Brevis. B. To help reduce K. Brevis’ food supply. C. To damage K. Brevis using some chemicals. D. To increase fishes’ resistance to K. Brevis’ attack. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。文章主要介绍了“赤潮”这一自然现象的成因、具体案例（以佛罗里达州为例）及其影响、目前面临的问题以及研究人员探讨的可能解决方案。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“K. Brevis will give off chemicals that can attack the nervous systems of animals, which often leads to deadly results. (K. Brevis会释放出可以攻击动物神经系统的化学物质，这通常会导致致命的结果。)”可知，K. Brevis释放的化学物质能攻击动物的神经系统，它会对海洋生物造成伤害。故选B项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The long season has caused the death of tons of fish and other animals which were washed up on the beaches all the way from Tampa to Naples. The smell of the dead animals has kept away thousands of locals and tourists that frequent the area’s long beaches. In view of that, in August, Florida declared a state of emergency for the seven places where K. Brevis has been growing quickly, providing $ 3 million to help with research, cleanup, and wildlife rescue. (从坦帕到那不勒斯的海滩上，漫长的季节造成了数以吨计的鱼类和其他动物死亡。死动物的气味让成千上万的当地人和游客远离了这个地区的长海滩。有鉴于此，今年8月，佛罗里达州宣布Brevis迅速蔓延的7个地区进入紧急状态，并提供300万美元用于帮助研究、清理和野生动物救援。)”可知，第三段主要描述了佛罗里达州赤潮导致的大量鱼类及其他动物死亡、海滩恶臭以及对当地居民和旅游业的影响，并提到了佛罗里达对此宣布紧急状态并提供资金援助的情况，这些都是赤潮所带来的后果。故选D项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“due to an outbreak of algae Trichodesmium in the waters offshore of Manatee County. Trichodesmium floats on the water’s surface sucking nitrogen (氮) from the air while K. Brevis lives below the surface obtaining nitrogen from the water. If these two masses of algae mix, the dying Trichodesmium may end up providing nitrogen for K. Brevis, lengthening its stay in the area. (因为海牛县近海水域爆发了Trichodesmium海藻。Trichodesmium漂浮在水面上，从空气中吸取氮气，而K. Brevis生活在水面以下，从水中获取氮气。如果这两种藻类混合在一起，Trichodesmium可能最终会为K. Brevis提供氮，延长其在该地区的停留时间。)”可知，exacerbated一词出现在描述Trichodesmium藻类爆发可能对佛罗里达州赤潮状况产生的影响，结合后文提及的两种藻类混合可能导致K. Brevis滞留时间延长，佛罗里达州的赤潮情况可能会加剧。可推测此词意为“恶化，加剧”。A. Worsened变得更糟，恶化；B. Studied研究；C. Handled处理；D. Ignored忽视。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。文章倒数第二段“Among the possibilities is the Diatom. It’s a kind of algae that can grow quickly in the water. Its growth will consume a large amount of nitrogen from the water. So it competes with K. Brevis for nitrogen. (其中一种可能是Diatom。它是一种能在水中快速生长的藻类。它的生长将从水中消耗大量的氮。所以它和K. Brevis争夺氮。)”可知，Diatom这种藻类能快速在水中生长并消耗大量的氮，与K. Brevis竞争水中的氮资源。因此，Diatom的作用很可能是帮助减少K. Brevis的食物供应（氮）。故选B项。 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to improve your memory? It’s generally accepted that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered this old saying simply isn’t true. ____36____ Whether you’re looking to sharpen your mind, boost your mental performance, or preserve your memory as you age, these tips can help. ____37____ Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. The best brain exercises break your routine and challenge you to use and develop new brain pathways. Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. ____38____ Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get and the amount you need to function at your best. The truth is that over 95% of adults need 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep every night. ____39____ Memory, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills are all harmed. Make time for friends. When you think of ways to improve memory, do you think of “serious” activities such as mastering chess strategies, or is it more relaxing pastimes—hanging out with friends or enjoying a funny movie? ____40____ But countless studies show that a life full of friends and fun comes with brain benefits. A Keep stress in check. B. Give your brain a workout. C. If you’re like most of us, it’s probably the former. D. Even losing a few hours of sleep makes a difference! E. In fact, interacting with others may provide the best kind of brain exercise. F. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change, even into old age. G. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. G 39. D 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了提高记忆力的方法。 【36题详解】 上文“It’s generally accepted that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered this old saying simply isn’t true.(人们普遍认为不能教老狗学新技能，但当涉及到大脑时，科学家们发现这个老说法并不正确)”说明到了老年也可以学习新的技能，F项“人类的大脑具有惊人的适应和改变能力，甚至到了老年。”承接上文，说明人类到老年也可以学习新技能的原因，符合题意。故选F。 37题详解】 下文“Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”.(记忆，就像肌肉力量一样，要求你“要么使用它，要么失去它”)”说明记忆能力也需要经常使用，需要锻炼，B项“锻炼你的大脑。”说明需要锻炼大脑，引出下文内容，符合题意。故选B。 【38题详解】 上文“Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp.(体育锻炼有助于你的大脑保持敏锐)”说明体育锻炼对大脑有益，G项中It指代上文提及的Physical exercise，G项“它增加了大脑的氧气，降低了导致记忆力丧失的疾病的风险。”解释体育锻炼对大脑有益处的原因，承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“The truth is that over 95% of adults need 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep every night.(事实是，超过95%的成年人每晚需要7.5到9个小时的睡眠)”说明人类需要一定时间的睡眠，D项“即使少睡几个小时也会产生影响!”说明睡眠时间不足会有影响，引出下文“Memory, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills are all harmed.(记忆力、创造力、解决问题的能力和批判性思维能力都会受到损害)”说明睡眠不足的危害，D项承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【40题详解】 上文“Make time for friends.(抽时间陪伴朋友)”说明要抽出时间陪伴朋友，以及下文“But countless studies show that a life full of friends and fun comes with brain benefits.(但无数研究表明，充满朋友和乐趣的生活对大脑有益)”说明有朋友的陪伴是对大脑有益的，E项“事实上，与他人互动可能是最好的脑力锻炼方式。”承接上文，并引出下文充满朋友的生活，强调与他人交往是大脑锻炼的最佳方式。故选E。 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。 I once worked on a farm.

After living here for just a couple of weeks, I was more than ready to pick up my luggage and move back home. I was lonely for a friend. My boy Samuel was lonely. My husband, Lonny, adapted just fine, but he was occupied with work most of the time. I missed our old neighborhood. It had been like a closely knitted community where neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate brownies (巧克力蛋糕) and carrot bread. It had been easy to find friends there. Our new community was different. It seemed that family roots grew deep. Deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past this tiny river town. Breaking in was tough. “I’m so alone here,” I said to Lonny one evening. Lonny is a good listener, and a problem solver. “What have you done to meet people?” he asked. “I go to the park every day. I even dropped by a book salon (读书沙龙) at the library the other day and came across a nice lady with a boy.” “Sounds not bad,” he said. “Did you talk to her?” The answer was no. It wasn’t that people here were unkind. I just didn’t feel like initiating conversations, and I preferred minding my own business in a new environment. A few more months passed and winter settled in. It was harder than ever to meet people. I began to feel bitter. I was tired of trying to fit in a place where we didn’t belong. Lonny noticed my low spirits. “Amy, you look unapproachable, with your arms crossed and everything,” he whispered in my ear one afternoon. He and I were sitting in the yard. Samuel, our five-year-old was playing baseball next to us. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not going to have friends here.” Just then Samuel looked up. He must’ve heard our whispers. “Mom’s right, Dad. We’ll never ever have friends here. And we just want to go back to our old home.” I sat there and looked at my tiny innocent son. His words mirrored my attitude. And I didn’t like the disturbing reflection. 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。 That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One afternoon, Samuel and I ran into the lady with her boy again at the library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. I didn’t want my boy to grow into a bitter kid. Over the next few weeks I worked very hard to fit in. I greeted everyone with a friendly nod, arms uncrossed with a genuine smile. I struck up conversations with acquaintances at the park. I even baked chocolate brownies and offered them as a nice gesture to our neighbors. Most importantly, I stopped talking about moving back home and drew my son’s attention to the upsides of our new community. To my delight, Samuel also started to feel a bit more at home and included. One afternoon, Samuel and I ran into the lady with her boy again at the library. I gathered my courage and walked closer. “Hi, I’m Amy. This is Samuel. Can we join you guys?” I made sure that I looked approachable. The woman readily pulled up two chairs for us. It turned out we had a whole lot in common. Following that encounter, we visited each other’s home a million times. Before long, my family gradually found our way to be part of this river town. One day Lonny and I were sitting in our yard again, preparing for a barbecue party. “Darling, you still wanna go back home?” Before I uttered a single word, Samuel cut in, “No, Dad. This is our home now.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，主要描述了作者一家搬到新城镇后的适应过程。作者因为缺乏朋友而感到孤独，儿子Samuel也很孤独，而丈夫Lonny适应的不错，但他常忙于工作。作者对新社区的观感不佳，觉得难以融入，因而情绪低落。尽管Lonny试图安慰她，但她内心厌倦了试图融入一个不容纳自己的地方。最后，在Samuel的一句天真的话语中，她看到了自己的影子，意识到自己需要改变态度，接纳新环境。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那时我知道我需要调整一下”可知，第一段可描写作者做出改变，对新环境中的人们展示自己的友好，以及儿子也因此受到影响，不再那么不自在。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天下午，Samuel和我在图书馆又碰到了那位女士和她的儿子”可知，第二段可描写作者主动和他们交流，两家人开始往来，以及作者和儿子逐渐融入新环境，不再想着回到原来的家。 2. 续写线索：意识到需要调整——展示友好——情况好转——碰见那位女士和她的儿子——主动交流——融入新环境 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①融入：fit in/blend in ②打招呼：greet/address ③谈论：talk about/discuss/speak about ④拜访：visit/pay a visit to 情绪类 ①充满怨恨的：bitter/resentful ②高兴：delight/ joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I greeted everyone with a friendly nod, arms uncrossed with a genuine smile.

Overwhelmed, by Brigid Schulte You’ve probably heard by now that you won’t be sleeping much after you welcome your bundle of joy and noise into the world.

B In 1972, Barbara Rieco penned a heartfelt children’s book that held her dream within its pages. Despite her best efforts, the manuscript (手稿) faced repeated rejection from publishers, leading her to eventually set aside her dream of becoming a published author. Little did she know that, decades later, her grandson would turn the dream into reality. Chad Cooper, a production professional, decided to give his grandmother the ultimate Christmas gift — the publication of her treasured book. Visiting her in Baltimore for the holidays, he secretly took her original manuscript, along with the drawings for the book she had obtained from an artist years ago, and transformed them into a beautifully printed book. On Christmas morning, as Barbara unwrapped the carefully crafted gift, she was overcome with emotion as she realized what the surprise was. The moment, captured and posted online by Chad, quickly resonated (产生共鸣) with viewers, and the video became a hit. “This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me in my entire life,” Barbara said in the video, who also gave her grandson a big hug, with tears. Chad’s thoughtful gesture didn’t just end with the surprise; he also included a link to the book on Amazon, making it available to the public. The response was nothing short of magic — within days, Barbara’s once-forgotten book skyrocketed to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list, earning the coveted spot as a best seller. Chad filmed the reaction to that news and shared more updates. Barbara said she had been reading every single comment online and wanted to respond to them all but there were thousands of them. “I’ve bought Barbara Rieco’s book even though I’m 21 and don’t even have kids. I’ve read it and I really like it,” said one viewer. “My children enjoy reading the book and they recommend me to read it as well” another viewer commented. Barbara Rieco’s book, now accepted by a new generation of readers, continues to spread joy and inspiration. 24. What did Chad Cooper do for his grandmother? A. He had her book published. B.

To highlight the value of Chad’s Christmas gift. C Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein (胶原蛋白) from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea (眼角膜) and restored vision to 20 people. The promising result of the trial brings hope to people suffering from corneal blindness. An estimated 12.7 million people around the world are blind due to their corneas being damaged or diseased. Their only way of regaining vision is to receive a transplanted cornea from a human donor. But just one in 70 patients receives a cornea transplant. Furthermore, most of them live in low and middle-income countries in which access to treatments is very limited. To avoid the above disadvantages of traditional cornea treatment, the researchers used collagen protein from pig’s skin. “It is possible to develop a biomaterial that meets all the criteria for being used as human implants (移植物), which can be mass-produced and reach more people with vision problems,” said Professor Neil Lagali. While donated corneas must be used within two weeks, the bioengineered corneas can be stored for up to two years before use. The pig skin used is a byproduct of the food industry, making it easy to access. The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the disease. No stitches (缝针) are needed with this new method. In a pilot study, 14 of the 20 participants were blind before the operation. After two years, all of the patients regained their sight. Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect vision after the operation. The researchers also want to study whether the technology can be used to treat more eye diseases, and whether the implant can be adapted to the individual for even greater effectiveness. 28. What is the disadvantage of traditional cornea treatment? A. Serious side effects. B. Low availability rate. C. Poor medical equipment. D. Complicated surgical process. 29. What do we know about the biomaterial? A. It has higher production costs. B. It can be stored for much longer. C. It is able to be used for several times. D. It can help people prevent vision problems. 30. Which of the following best describes the new surgical method? A. Successful. B. Ineffective. C. Convenient. D. Controversial. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To spread knowledge about cornea donation. B. To show the difficulties of treating blindness. C. To call on people to protect their eyes properly. D. To present a new breakthrough in the medical field. D “Red tide” is a natural phenomenon that frequently occurs in many places around the world. The phenomenon is the result of extreme growth of tiny algae (海藻) called K. Brevis, which has a red color, giving the water surface a very noticeable red color. K. Brevis will give off chemicals that can attack the nervous systems of animals, which often leads to deadly results. Florida citizens are no stranger to “red tide”, which occurs along the state’s Gulf Coast annually. However, the most recent outbreak of red tide has so far lasted much longer and spread across nearly 145 miles of the coastline in southwestern Florida. The long season has caused the death of tons of fish and other animals which were washed up on the beaches all the way from Tampa to Naples. The smell of the dead animals has kept away thousands of locals and tourists that frequent the area’s long beaches. In view of that, in August, Florida declared a state of emergency for the seven places where K. Brevis has been growing quickly, providing $ 3 million to help with research, cleanup, and wildlife rescue. Recently, the situation of red tide in Florida may be exacerbated due to an outbreak of algae Trichodesmium in the waters offshore of Manatee County. Trichodesmium floats on the water’s surface sucking nitrogen (氮) from the air while K. Brevis lives below the surface obtaining nitrogen from the water. If these two masses of algae mix, the dying Trichodesmium may end up providing nitrogen for K. Brevis, lengthening its stay in the area. Researchers recently are exploring the idea of introducing other algal species to Florida. Among the possibilities is the Diatom. It’s a kind of algae that can grow quickly in the water. Its growth will consume a large amount of nitrogen from the water. So it competes with K. Brevis for nitrogen. Another possibility is algae known to give off chemicals that stop the growth of red tide. The 10-month-long red tide outbreak in Florida may be the result of a combination of heavy rainfall, warmer ocean temperatures, and pollution. Now it’s time for us to do something. 32. What can we learn about K. Brevis? A It’s caused by red tide. B. It can harm ocean life. C. It’s facing dying out. D. It exists mainly on land. 33. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The researchers’ study of algae. B. The tourism potential in Florida. C. The possible ways to deal with red tide. D. The consequences of red tide in Florida. 34. What does the underlined part mean? A. Worsened. B. Studied. C. Handled. D. Ignored. 35. What’s the possible function of the algae Diatom? A. To change the color of K. Brevis. B. To help reduce K. Brevis’ food supply. C. To damage K. Brevis using some chemicals. D. To increase fishes’ resistance to K. Brevis’ attack. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to improve your memory? It’s generally accepted that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered this old saying simply isn’t true. ____36____ Whether you’re looking to sharpen your mind, boost your mental performance, or preserve your memory as you age, these tips can help. ____37____ Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. The best brain exercises break your routine and challenge you to use and develop new brain pathways. Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. ____38____ Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get and the amount you need to function at your best. The truth is that over 95% of adults need 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep every night. ____39____ Memory, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills are all harmed. Make time for friends. When you think of ways to improve memory, do you think of “serious” activities such as mastering chess strategies, or is it more relaxing pastimes—hanging out with friends or enjoying a funny movie? ____40____ But countless studies show that a life full of friends and fun comes with brain benefits. A. Keep stress in check. B. Give your brain a workout. C. If you’re like most of us, it’s probably the former. D. Even losing a few hours of sleep makes a difference! E. In fact, interacting with others may provide the best kind of brain exercise. F. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change, even into old age. G. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss. 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。 I once worked on a farm.

After living here for just a couple of weeks, I was more than ready to pick up my luggage and move back home. I was lonely for a friend. My boy Samuel was lonely. My husband, Lonny, adapted just fine, but he was occupied with work most of the time. I missed our old neighborhood. It had been like a closely knitted community where neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate brownies (巧克力蛋糕) and carrot bread. It had been easy to find friends there. Our new community was different. It seemed that family roots grew deep. Deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past this tiny river town. Breaking in was tough. “I’m so alone here,” I said to Lonny one evening. Lonny is a good listener, and a problem solver. “What have you done to meet people?” he asked. “I go to the park every day. I even dropped by a book salon (读书沙龙) at the library the other day and came across a nice lady with a boy.” “Sounds not bad,” he said. “Did you talk to her?” The answer was no. It wasn’t that people here were unkind. I just didn’t feel like initiating conversations, and I preferred minding my own business in a new environment. A few more months passed and winter settled in. It was harder than ever to meet people. I began to feel bitter. I was tired of trying to fit in a place where we didn’t belong. Lonny noticed my low spirits. “Amy, you look unapproachable, with your arms crossed and everything,” he whispered in my ear one afternoon. He and I were sitting in the yard. Samuel, our five-year-old was playing baseball next to us. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not going to have friends here.” Just then Samuel looked up. He must’ve heard our whispers. “Mom’s right, Dad. We’ll never ever have friends here. And we just want to go back to our old home.” I sat there and looked at my tiny innocent son. His words mirrored my attitude. And I didn’t like the disturbing reflection. 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。 That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One afternoon, Samuel and I ran into the lady with her boy again at the library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
