A Gorgeous Mother’s Day Gift If you’re stuck for a Mother’s Day gift, why not try something that tugs at the heartstrings? A company that specialises in turning life stories into long-lasting books has developed a simple way to show your mother or grandmother how much they mean to you. The company has created a full-colour book that captures all your family memories. And it’s a gift that can be enjoyed over and over again by future generations. The company sends you a set of questions by email, and these help you make a personalised book that’s unique to your parent or grandparent This hardbound (精装的) book is a bargain compared to a private autobiography, which can cost thousands of pounds and take ages to finish. The company was started by two siblings. After their dad died young and they saw their grandma struggle with Alzheimer’s, they wanted to find a way to save life stories before it was too late. When you buy a photo book, the company will give some money to the Alzheimer’s Society charity. They help you make the book and keep your stories safe until it’s printed. The photo book costs £149, but you can pay £50 more to get an extra copy for your family and friends. If the person who gets the book doesn’t like it, they can get their money back in 30 days. As a cheaper alternative, you could get an £11. 99 scrapbook from the Internet and put your own pictures in it to save money. The company also sells different kinds of photo books, like the Mini Hardback Photo Book which is now only £20. 80, down from £26. 1. What does the company create? A. The Alzheimer’s Society charity. B. A photo book of family memories. C. Someone’s private oral biography. D. A personal story unique to each people. 2. What motivated the founders of the company? A. Their concern for their family. B. The popularity of family stories. C. Their grandmother’s dying wish. D. Their desire to cure Alzheimer’s. 3. How much will you spend on two copies of the book from the company? A. £149. B. £160. 99. C. £199. D. £257. 79. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了一款适合母亲节的礼物——一本关于家庭回忆的相册的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The company has created a full-colour book that captures all your family memories.(该公司创造了一本全彩色的书，可以捕捉你所有的家庭记忆)”及倒数第二段“The photo book costs £149, but you can pay £50 more to get an extra copy for your family and friends.(这本相册售价149英镑，但你可以再花50英镑为你的家人和朋友多买一本)”可知，该公司创造一本关于家庭回忆的相册。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The company was started by two siblings.

The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS Unity that was built by Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic. The flight lasted slightly more than an hour, and took Branson and crew to an altitude (海拔) of 53.5miles above the Earth, just a little above the boundary (边界) of space which lies 50 miles above the Earth. At that height, the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue. Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity, the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth’s surface. Therefore, Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views. They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey. It landed back at Virgin Galactic’s space port in New Mexico, United States, which is the same place from where it had taken off 90 minutes before. On landing back, Branson said, “I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of the Earth from space. It was just magical. I’m just taking it all in, and it’s unreal.” July 11’s flight is the start of space tourism for one and all. In early 2022, customers who can afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars can line up for a seat on a trip to space. And guess what — they will have a choice of spacecraft. Jeff Bezos, who owns a famous company, is all set to launch himself into space on July 20 on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin. Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space. 4. What is Richard Branson famous for? A. His success in tourism. B. His company of Virgin Galactic. C. His spaceship named VSS Unity. D. His first commercial space travel in history. 5. What does Branson think of his space travel? A. Unbelievable. B. Adventurous. C. Regrettable. D. Worthless. 6. What do space tourists have to do? A. Take a spacecraft of Virgin Galactic. B. Pay $250,000 for the rocket tour. C. Pass the fitness test for astronauts. D. Line up for a position in Blue Origin. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Humans will move to other livable planets. B. Ordinary people will soon land on the moon. C. Private rocket space travel is growing gradually. D. Some companies abandon their proper business. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了Richard Branson及其团队完成首次商业太空旅行的历史性事件，标志着太空旅游时代的开启，并提及了未来普通民众也有机会参与太空旅行的展望。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“English businessman Richard Branson made history on July 11, 2021 as he and three other crewmates became the world’s first space tourists.(2021年7月11日，英国商人理查德·布兰森和其他三名机组人员成为世界上第一批太空游客，创造了历史)”可知，理查德·布兰森作为有史以来的第一批太空游客，创造了历史，即因他有史以来第一次商业太空旅行而著名。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of the Earth from space. It was just magical. I’m just taking it all in, and it’s unreal.(我从小就梦想着这一刻，但老实说，没有什么能让你准备好从太空看到地球。这太神奇了。我只是接受了这一切，这是不真实的)”可知，布兰森对于他的太空旅行感觉难以置信。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In early 2022, customers who can afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars can line up for a seat on a trip to space.(2022年初，能支付得起25万美元门票的顾客可以在太空之旅中排队等候座位)”可知，游客需要能够支付得起25万美元的门票，才能进行太空之旅。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jeff Bezos, who owns a famous company, is all set to launch himself into space on July 20 on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin. Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space.(拥有一家著名公司的杰夫·贝佐斯将于7月20日乘坐其新分公司蓝色起源建造的航天器进入太空。蓝色起源还将把游客带到太空)”可知，新的分公司成立，并将继续把游客带到太空，由此可推知，私人太空旅行在逐渐增加。故选C。 C If you’ve ever seen a sparrow steal your dog food or a crow open a garbage bag, you get a sense of that some birds have learned to take advantage of new feeding opportunities—a clear sign of their intelligence. Scientists have long wondered why certain species of birds are more innovative than others, and whether these capacities stem from larger brains or from a greater number of neurons (神经元) in specific areas of the brain. It turns out that it’s a bit of both, according to a recent study by an international team that included members from McGill University published in Nature Ecology and Evolution. The researchers used a new technique to estimate the number of neurons in a specific part of the brain called the pallium in 111 bird species. The pallium in birds is equal to the human cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), which is involved in memory, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, among other things. When these estimates about neuron numbers in the pallium were combined with information about over 4,000 feeding innovations, the team found that the species with the higher numbers of neurons in the pallium were also likely to be the most innovative. “The amount of time chicks spend in the nest as their brains develop might also play a crucial role in the evolution of intelligence,” says McGill University Emeritus Professor Louis Lefebvre who spent more than 20 years gathering examples of feeding innovations. “Larger species of crows and parrots, which are known for their intelligence, spend longer in the nest, which allows more time for the brain to grow and accumulate pallial neurons.” The results of the study help to deal with previously opposed views of the evolution and significance of brain size and show how a life-history perspective helps to understand the evolution of cognition. 8. What may a sparrow be thought of when it steals dog food? A. It is lovely. B. It is immoral. C. It is heartbroken. D. It is intelligent. 9. What did researchers do with the 111 bird species? A. Assessed the neurons in their pallium. B. Tested a new technology on their brain. C. Trained them to learn to feed individually. D. Compared their pallium with the human cerebral cortex. 10. What is behind the intelligence of larger bird species? A. Their large shape. B. More time in their nest. C. Their learning ability. D. More feeding innovations. 11. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper? A. Health. B. Society. C. Science. D. Culture. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家对鸟类智能及其创新能力的探究。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ve ever seen a sparrow steal your dog food or a crow open a garbage bag, you get a sense of that some birds have learned to take advantage of new feeding opportunities—a clear sign of their intelligence.(如果你见过麻雀偷你的狗粮，或者乌鸦啄开垃圾袋，你会感觉到一些鸟已经学会了利用新的进食机会——这是它们聪明的明显迹象)”可知，麻雀偷吃狗粮会被认为是聪明的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers used a new technique to estimate the number of neurons in a specific part of the brain called the pallium in 111 bird species. The pallium in birds is equal to the human cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), which is involved in memory, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, among other things.(研究人员使用一种新技术来估计111种鸟类大脑中一个叫做大脑皮层的特定部分的神经元数量。鸟类的大脑皮层与人类大脑皮层相当，大脑皮层参与记忆、学习、推理和解决问题等)”可知，研究人员使用一种新技术评估111种鸟类大脑中被称为大脑皮层的特定部分的神经元数量。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The amount of time chicks spend in the nest as their brains develop might also play a crucial role in the evolution of intelligence,” says McGill University Emeritus Professor Louis Lefebvre who spent more than 20 years gathering examples of feeding innovations. “Larger species of crows and parrots, which are known for their intelligence, spend longer in the nest, which allows more time for the brain to grow and accumulate pallial neurons.”(麦吉尔大学名誉教授Louis Lefebvre花了20多年时间收集喂养创新的例子，他说：“小鸡在巢穴中大脑发育的时间也可能在智力的进化中发挥关键作用。”。“以智力著称的大型鸟类乌鸦和鹦鹉在巢穴中停留的时间更长，这为大脑生长和积累皮层神经元提供了更多的时间。”)”可知，大型鸟类更聪明是因为它在巢穴中停留的时间更长，为大脑生长和积累皮层神经元提供了更多的时间。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists have long wondered why certain species of birds are more innovative than others, and whether these capacities stem from larger brains or from a greater number of neurons (神经元) in specific areas of the brain.(长期以来，科学家们一直想知道为什么某些物种的鸟类比其他物种更具创新性，以及这些能力是来自更大的大脑还是来自大脑特定区域的更多神经元)”、第二段“It turns out that it’s a bit of both, according to a recent study by an international team that included members from McGill University published in Nature Ecology and Evolution.(根据一个包括麦吉尔大学成员在内的国际团队最近发表在《自然生态与进化》杂志上的一项研究，事实证明两者兼而有之)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员对鸟类智慧的研究，推测文章会出现在报纸的科学部分。故选C。 D More than 400 athletes across a variety of sports, ages and levels of experience were questioned for the study by sports psychology experts from Staffordshire University and Manchester Metropolitan University. The findings reveal that athletes’ belief systems — specifically irrational (非理性) beliefs — are related to poorer self-confidence, and in turn, greater competitive anxiety and depressive symptoms. “Phrases that reflect self-depreciating (贬低) beliefs such as ‘If I lose, I’m a failure’ or ‘If I face setbacks, it shows how stupid I am’ are warning signs,” said the authors. Paul Mansell, Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Staffordshire University, said, “Despite the psychological benefits of physical activity, studies frequently report poor mental health in athletes, which may be exacerbated by adversities, such as injury, de-selection, and performance pressure. We investigated athletes’ beliefs, how they view stress, their levels of self-confidence and put all this data together to work out what might predict psychological well-being. We found irrational beliefs to be a core reason for symptoms of poor mental health in athletes.” This is the first known study that has examined irrational beliefs, self-confidence, and the psychological well-being of athletes all together. Irrational beliefs are extreme, rigid, and illogical ideas that people hold. For example, a person might believe that they “must” get what they want, or that just because they have failed, they are a “complete failure”. “We can all work to help athletes develop mindsets that help them deal with the challenges of sport and life. By encouraging rational and logical beliefs about performance, we can help athletes to stay healthy amidst the high demands of competitive sport,” said Paul Mansell. The author s propose Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) as an effective tool for protecting self-confidence. REBT helps athletes to challenge these self-depreciating beliefs and develop beliefs that are more helpful and healthy. For example, rather than believe “I am a failure if I fail”, this might be countered with “Failing is not ideal, but it does not mean that I am a failure”. 12. What did the study centre on? A. Physical health of athletes. B. The competition state of athletes. C. Psychological health of athletes. D. Competition habits of athletes. 13. Which can best replace the underlined word “exacerbated” in paragraph 2? A. Worsened. B. Examined. C. Promoted. D. Recognized. 14. Which of the following is a sign of irrational beliefs? A. Setbacks won’t stop me. B. If I fail, I will lose everything. C. It is a world full of competition. D. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Psychological benefits of physical activity B. Effective tools for protecting self-confidence C. Rational and logical beliefs about performance D. Warning signs of poor mental health in athletes 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文学主要介绍了研究结果显示，运动员的信念系统——尤其是非理性的信念——与自信心的下降有关，进而导致更严重的竞争焦虑和抑郁症状，后文介绍了运动员心理健康状况不佳的警告信号。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This is the first known study that has examined irrational beliefs, self-confidence, and the psychological well-being of athletes all together. Irrational beliefs are extreme, rigid, and illogical ideas that people hold. For example, a person might believe that they “must” get what they want, or that just because they have failed, they are a “complete failure”.(这是已知的第一项将运动员的非理性信念、自信和心理健康放在一起进行研究。非理性信念是人们持有的极端、僵化和不合逻辑的观念。例如，一个人可能认为他们“必须”得到他们想要的东西，或者仅仅因为他们失败了，他们就是“彻底的失败”)”可知，这项研究关注运动员的心理健康。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Paul Mansell, Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Staffordshire University, said, “Despite the psychological benefits of physical activity, studies frequently report poor mental health in athletes, which may be exacerbated by adversities, such as injury, de-selection, and performance pressure.(斯塔福德郡大学运动与锻炼心理学讲师Paul Mansell说：“尽管体育活动有心理益处，但研究经常报告运动员的心理健康状况不佳，而伤病、取消选拔和表现压力等逆境可能会exacerbated这种状况)”可知，运动员经常有心理健康不佳状况，并可能因伤病、取消选拔和表现压力等逆境加剧，推测划线单词表示“加剧”，与worsen意义相近。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Irrational beliefs are extreme, rigid, and illogical ideas that people hold.(非理性信念是人们持有的极端、僵化和不合逻辑的信念)”可知，“If I fail, I will lose everything.(如果我失败了，我将失去一切)”描述极端的、不合逻辑的观念，是非理性的信念。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The findings reveal that athletes’ belief systems — specifically irrational (非理性) beliefs — are related to poorer self-confidence, and in turn, greater competitive anxiety and depressive symptoms. (研究结果表明，运动员的信念系统——尤其是非理性的信念——与自信心的下降有关，进而与更大的竞争焦虑和抑郁症状有关)”以及文章内容可知，本文介绍了研究结果显示，运动员的信念系统——尤其是非理性的信念——与自信心的下降有关，进而导致更严重的竞争焦虑和抑郁症状，后文介绍了运动员心理健康状况不佳的警告信号，所以“运动员心理健康状况不佳的警告信号”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Living a healthy lifestyle is all about choosing to make healthy choices each day.

A Gorgeous Mother’s Day Gift If you’re stuck for a Mother’s Day gift, why not try something that tugs at the heartstrings?

The company has created a full-colour book that captures all your family memories. And it’s a gift that can be enjoyed over and over again by future generations.

As a cheaper alternative, you could get an £11. 99 scrapbook from the Internet and put your own pictures in it to save money.

The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS Unity that was built by Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic. The flight lasted slightly more than an hour, and took Branson and crew to an altitude (海拔) of 53.5miles above the Earth, just a little above the boundary (边界) of space which lies 50 miles above the Earth. At that height, the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue. Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity, the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth’s surface. Therefore, Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views. They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey. It landed back at Virgin Galactic’s space port in New Mexico, United States, which is the same place from where it had taken off 90 minutes before. On landing back, Branson said, “I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of the Earth from space. It was just magical. I’m just taking it all in, and it’s unreal.” July 11’s flight is the start of space tourism for one and all. In early 2022, customers who can afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars can line up for a seat on a trip to space. And guess what — they will have a choice of spacecraft. Jeff Bezos, who owns a famous company, is all set to launch himself into space on July 20 on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin. Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space. 4. What is Richard Branson famous for? A. His success in tourism. B. His company of Virgin Galactic. C. His spaceship named VSS Unity. D. His first commercial space travel in history. 5. What does Branson think of his space travel? A. Unbelievable. B. Adventurous. C. Regrettable. D. Worthless. 6. What do space tourists have to do? A. Take a spacecraft of Virgin Galactic. B. Pay $250000 for the rocket tour. C. Pass the fitness test for astronauts. D. Line up for a position in Blue Origin. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Humans will move to other livable planets. B. Ordinary people will soon land on the moon. C. Private rocket space travel is growing gradually. D Some companies abandon their proper business. C If you’ve ever seen a sparrow steal your dog food or a crow open a garbage bag, you get a sense of that some birds have learned to take advantage of new feeding opportunities—a clear sign of their intelligence. Scientists have long wondered why certain species of birds are more innovative than others, and whether these capacities stem from larger brains or from a greater number of neurons (神经元) in specific areas of the brain. It turns out that it’s a bit of both, according to a recent study by an international team that included members from McGill University published in Nature Ecology and Evolution. The researchers used a new technique to estimate the number of neurons in a specific part of the brain called the pallium in 111 bird species. The pallium in birds is equal to the human cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), which is involved in memory, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, among other things. When these estimates about neuron numbers in the pallium were combined with information about over 4,000 feeding innovations, the team found that the species with the higher numbers of neurons in the pallium were also likely to be the most innovative. “The amount of time chicks spend in the nest as their brains develop might also play a crucial role in the evolution of intelligence,” says McGill University Emeritus Professor Louis Lefebvre who spent more than 20 years gathering examples of feeding innovations. “Larger species of crows and parrots, which are known for their intelligence, spend longer in the nest, which allows more time for the brain to grow and accumulate pallial neurons.” The results of the study help to deal with previously opposed views of the evolution and significance of brain size and show how a life-history perspective helps to understand the evolution of cognition. 8. What may a sparrow be thought of when it steals dog food? A. It is lovely. B. It is immoral. C. It is heartbroken. D. It is intelligent. 9. What did researchers do with the 111 bird species? A. Assessed the neurons in their pallium. B. Tested a new technology on their brain. C. Trained them to learn to feed individually. D. Compared their pallium with the human cerebral cortex. 10. What is behind the intelligence of larger bird species? A. Their large shape. B. More time in their nest. C. Their learning ability. D. More feeding innovations. 11. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper? A. Health. B. Society. C. Science. D. Culture. D More than 400 athletes across a variety of sports, ages and levels of experience were questioned for the study by sports psychology experts from Staffordshire University and Manchester Metropolitan University. The findings reveal that athletes’ belief systems — specifically irrational (非理性) beliefs — are related to poorer self-confidence, and in turn, greater competitive anxiety and depressive symptoms. “Phrases that reflect self-depreciating (贬低) beliefs such as ‘If I lose, I’m a failure’ or ‘If I face setbacks, it shows how stupid I am’ are warning signs,” said the authors. Paul Mansell, Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Staffordshire University, said, “Despite the psychological benefits of physical activity, studies frequently report poor mental health in athletes, which may be exacerbated by adversities, such as injury, de-selection, and performance pressure. We investigated athletes’ beliefs, how they view stress, their levels of self-confidence and put all this data together to work out what might predict psychological well-being. We found irrational beliefs to be a core reason for symptoms of poor mental health in athletes.” This is the first known study that has examined irrational beliefs, self-confidence, and the psychological well-being of athletes all together. Irrational beliefs are extreme, rigid, and illogical ideas that people hold. For example, a person might believe that they “must” get what they want, or that just because they have failed, they are a “complete failure”. “We can all work to help athletes develop mindsets that help them deal with the challenges of sport and life. By encouraging rational and logical beliefs about performance, we can help athletes to stay healthy amidst the high demands of competitive sport,” said Paul Mansell.
