Impressive scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can’t always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants. The Rock. Zanzibar On an enormous stone off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. Fresh lobster, prawns, octopus salad and calamari are just a few of the appetizing dining options. At low tide, customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they’re greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant,” is available for weddings and other small group events. The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines Stunning waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, are different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of these falls. Guests dine on authentic Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience. The Grotto, Thailand The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand’s Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea.

She felt unwell — a cold had taken hold of her. Still, she needed to brave the storm of responsibilities at work. Emma dragged herself out of bed and got ready for work. Then she put on her raincoat and went out into the pouring rain. As she walked, she fought against the bad weather. Emma’s umbrella was almost useless as it was raining cats and dogs. Then like a bolt from the blue, the wind blew it inside out. She was immediately wet from head to toe. She said to herself in a quiet voice. “What a day to forget my rain boots!” At the office, the day was as stormy as the weather. She had a mountain of tasks. Handling endless emails and phone calls should have been a light wind. But before long, she was desperate to take a break so she could get a second wind. Then, at exactly the moment, her coworker Alex came to her rescue. Alex was not a fair-weather friend but was always ready to lend a hand. With a warm smile, he offered to help Emma. Having Alex assist her was like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. Their laughter and good-fellowship as they completed their tasks made the hours pass quickly.

You can be going along, minding your business, and then, all of a sudden, a memory pops into your head. Sometimes memories are triggered (触发) by a song that reminds you of the setting where you first heard it. Or it may be a smell that makes you think of a delicious meal with your friends or family. Perhaps hearing kids arguing makes you remember an unhappy situation with childhood friends. These spontaneous (自发的) memories can be “sweet,” or they might be “sour.” Did you ever wonder what’s going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions? Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biologica Studies in California have made a discovery that could help to uncover this secret. The explanation is a bit technical (for those of us who are not brain scientists), but basically it all focuses on a single molecule (分子) called neurotensin (神经降压素). Our surrounding environment is constantly presenting our brain with stimuli (刺激). The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli. Our brain subsequently associates similar stimuli with the pleasant or painful memory that we experienced. The study by the Salk Institute was published in the journal Nature. The focus of their experiments was the brain circuitry of laboratory mice. After a sound was played, the mice received either a pleasant swallow of sugary water or, an unpleasant electrical shock or puff of air. The researchers discovered that neurotensin was the signal that associated the sound with reward or with punishment When the gene (基因) that regulates neurotensin was removed from the mice’s brains, they had more difficulty connecting the sound with the sugary water. However, the negative responses were enhanced. Understanding how neurons in the brain respond to neurotensin could have influences on one’s mental health. Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin (connected with positive rewards). On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative responses to dominate. Thus, regulating neurotensin could help to maintain mental stability. One other thing: The research study showed that the brain may tend to be a pessimist, focusing on fearful memories that cause negative emotional responses. Perhaps insights into neurotensin will help us have fewer sour memories and more sweet ones. 28. What is the function of neurotensin? A. To provide our brain with stimuli. B. To indicate the category of an experience. C. To focus on the surrounding environment. D. To associate the stimuli with our memory. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Addictions and anxiety may be related to different levels of neurotensin. B. The mice were given both sugary water and an electrical shock after hearing a sound. C. As the gene which controls neurotensin disappeared, the negative responses decreased. D. The brain prefers connecting with fearful memories which produce unexpected emotions. 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. What happens in our brain to form our memory. B. What the discovery of memory can do for mental health. C. How brain connects our memory with different emotions. D. How we regulate neurotensin to make us have good emotions. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是大脑是如何通过神经降压素使我们产生积极或消极情绪的回忆。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli.(神经降压素作为一个关键的指标，表明一个经验是被标记为积极的还是消极的，这取决于刺激的性质)”可知，神经降压素可以表明一个经验是积极的还是消极的。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin (connected with positive rewards). On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative responses to dominate.(成瘾可能是由过量的神经降压素（与积极的奖励相关）引起的。另一方面，当神经降压素水平的下降导致负面反应占主导地位时，就会导致抑郁和焦虑)”可知，成瘾和焦虑情绪的产生都与神经降压素水平的高低有关。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“Did you ever wonder what’s going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions?(你有没有想过，在你的大脑里发生了什么，让你的记忆产生积极或消极的情绪？)”可知，本文主要讲述大脑是如何通过神经降压素使我们产生积极或消极情绪的回忆。故选C。 D In this age of social media, everyone has followed the review trend. Nearly every business or website persuades customers to leave reviews as they can drive traffic to the site or business. The online business directory Yelp, which gets 178 million monthly visitors, invites anyone with a cellphone to leave a review of a business or restaurant. But by no means are negative reviews always honest. Some people threaten to give a bad review to extort (敲诈) discounted or free food from a restaurant. Some then follow through when their demands are not met. But there are two sides to every story. One Denver chef decided to respond to bad reviews at his restaurant. As it turned out, some customers who left bad review s deserved bad reviews themselves. One customer’s terrible review claimed that the food at the restaurant was so awful that he didn’t eat a single bite. The chef looked through the monitor and found clear evidence that he had eaten every bite! In response, the chef called out the dissatisfied customer in his own negative review. Since the chef started responding to all his negative reviews, business at his restaurant has nearly doubled. Telling people what you think of them as the result of a bad review can backfire on you, especially when a bad review is justified. Reviews are important because 94 percent of diners read online review s before they decide where to eat. But bad reviews appear for many reasons. The reviewer may be having a bad day, or the chef may be sick and the substitute (代替者) couldn’t fill his shoes, so the cuisine suffered. Or perhaps the service wasn’t as good as usual. The worst-case scene is that the reviewer wants to punish the restaurant on purpose for some slight, real or imagined. So one or two bad reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. Many negative reviews, however, indicate a problem. So what is a restauranteur to do? First give an honest assessment of any negative reviews. Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points. Are there areas for improvement? If the answer is yes, make adjustments. Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive. The goal should be to improve the situation, not just blow off steam. 31. The author mentions Yelp in Paragraph 1 to ______. A. introduce the topic B. predict the ending C. evaluate an argument D. support a statement 32. Regarding negative reviews to restaurants, the author is ______. A. positive B. objective C. negative D. doubtful 33. What does the underlined word “valid” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Philosophical. B. Identical. C. Reasonable. D. Legal. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A Who to Be Responsible for Bad Reviews? B. When to Respond to Bad Reviews? C. How to Criticise Bad Reviews? D. What to Do with Bad Reviews? 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今社交媒体时代，每个人都有发表评价和追随好评的趋势，但是顾客给出的负面评价总是令人头疼，为此作者给出了一些建议。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The online business directory Yelp, which gets 178 million monthly visitors, invites anyone with a cellphone to leave a review of a business or restaurant. But by no means are negative reviews always honest. Some people threaten to give a bad review to extort (敲诈) discounted or free food from a restaurant. Some then follow through when their demands are not met.(在线商业目录Yelp每月有1.78亿的访问量，它邀请任何有手机的人对企业或餐馆发表评论。但负面评论绝不是诚实的。有些人威胁要给差评，以从餐馆敲诈打折或免费的食物。当他们的要求没有得到满足时，有些人会坚持到底)”可知，作者在第一段中提到Yelp来支持一个说法。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But there are two sides to every story. One Denver chef decided to respond to bad reviews at his restaurant. As it turned out, some customers who left bad review s deserved bad reviews themselves. One customer’s terrible review claimed that the food at the restaurant was so awful that he didn’t eat a single bite. The chef looked through the monitor and found clear evidence that he had eaten every bite! In response, the chef called out the dissatisfied customer in his own negative review. Since the chef started responding to all his negative reviews, business at his restaurant has nearly doubled.(但凡事都有两面性。丹佛的一位厨师决定对他餐厅的差评做出回应。事实证明，一些留下差评的顾客自己也应该得到差评。一位顾客的差评称，这家餐厅的食物太糟糕了，他一口都没吃。厨师看了看监视器，发现了他吃了每一口的明显证据！作为回应，厨师在他自己的差评中点名了这位不满意的顾客。自从厨师开始回应他所有的差评后，他餐厅的生意几乎翻了一番)”可知，对于餐馆的负面评价，作者认为有两面性，即作者是客观的。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“First give an honest assessment of any negative reviews.(首先，对任何负面评价给予诚实的评价)”以及后文“Are there areas for improvement?(是否有需要改进的地方？)”可知，作者认为对于负面评价应该看是否合理，然后进行改进。故划线词意思是“合理的”。故选C。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So what is a restauranteur to do? First give an honest assessment of any negative reviews. Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points. Are there areas for improvement? If the answer is yes, make adjustments. Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive. The goal should be to improve the situation, not just blow off steam.(那么，餐馆老板该怎么做呢？首先，对任何负面评价给予诚实的评价。退后一步，问问作者是否提出了有效的观点。是否有需要改进的地方？如果答案是肯定的，那就做出调整。审稿人本身需要诚实和有建设性。目标应该是改善情况，而不仅仅是发泄情绪)”结合文章主要说明了如今社交媒体时代，每个人都有发表评价和追随好评的趋势，但是顾客给出的负面评价总是令人头疼，为此作者给出了一些建议。可知，D选项“如何处理差评？”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共 10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Before you head out to a fun event where there will be many people, you should be aware of the dangers of a crowd crush (拥挤的人群), whose possibility adds up during the festivals or on some celebrating occasions. Though the risk of crowd crush is rare, it can be deadly when it happens. Crowd crush occurs when many people are packed together and begin to fall over one another. In the past, such instances have caused horrible injury and even death. ____35____ Before attending a crowded event, look up a map of the venue. ____36____ Once you arrive, choosing the right spot can be crucial. Avoid the middle or front; instead, pick the back or edges of a crowd. It s also important to trust your feelings. Stay aware to see if you feel packed in at any point. The more crowded the event becomes, the sooner you may need to move to a safe place. ____37____ The most important thing you can do is stay on your feet. To do this spread your feet apart and bend your knees a little. Also make sure to move with the flow of the crowd. Trying to move against a crowd of people will only end in disaster. Helping others is another great way to keep everyone safe. Once one person falls down, more people tend to fall over them. ____38____ A common cause of death in a crowd crush isn’t being crushed but rather losing air. It’s best to hold out your arms in front of your chest. ____39____ It also protects your chest and lungs from being crushed on the ground should you fall. There is usually fun where the crowds are, so enjoy yourself. But meanwhile, it is also important to remember to stay alert and take care of your family members when you sense the smell of danger. A. If you do end up in a crush, here’s how you can stay safe. B. This allows space between you and the person in front of you. C. So if your neighbor in the crowd falls to the ground, help them up. D. Seeking for a safer place takes some time and is sometimes challenging. E. To avoid such an outcome, it’s best to escape the crush before it happens. F. The shortage of air means less oxygen, which will lead to serious consequences. G. This will give you an idea of the surroundings—pay special attention to any exits. 【答案】35. E 36. G 37. A 38. C 39. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述如何在拥挤的人群中保持安全。 【35题详解】 上文“In the past, such instances have caused horrible injury and even death. (在过去，这类事件已经造成了可怕的伤害，甚至是死亡。)”因此，我们需要避免这类事故，故E选项“为了避免这样的结果，最好在挤压发生之前逃离它”表明下文引出如何避免这些事故，保证安全。故选E。 【36题详解】 上文“Before attending a crowded event, look up a map of the venue.(在参加拥挤的活动之前，先查一下场地的地图)”说明要先查阅地图，故G选项“这将让你了解周围的环境——特别注意任何出口。”说明查阅地图的目的，符合题意。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Also make sure to move with the flow of the crowd. (也要确保随着人群的流动而移动。)”可知，此段主要讲的是如何在人群中保持安全，观察前后段的句子结构可知，此段用的也是总分结构，故开头句应该概括本段主旨，故A选项“如果你最后陷入人潮，以下是你保持安全的方法。”符合题意。故选A。 【38题详解】 上文“Helping others is another great way to keep everyone safe. Once one person falls down, more people tend to fall over them.(帮助他人是另一个保护所有人安全的好方法。一旦一个人摔倒了，更多的人就会摔倒。)”可知，本段讲的是帮助他人可以使所有人保持安全，故C选项“所以，如果你在人群中的邻居倒在地上，帮助他们站起来。”符合题意。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文“It’s best to hold out your arms in front of your chest.(最好把胳膊放在胸前。)”可知，这样做可以增加你和前面人的空间，不会因为挨的太近失去空气，窒息而死。故B选项“这让你和你面前的人之间留出了空间。”表明这样做的益处，符合题意。故选B。 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 From birth, every person needs other human beings. Babies need to be cared for to survive. Their first connections usually come from parents and other family members. But as children grow up, they spend more time with others. And they may or may not feel connected to the people they see every day. Some people feel different from or rejected by their neighbors, people they work with or even their families. People who don’t feel like they belong often feel lonely, even when others are around. People find different ways to meet their natural desire to belong to a group. Some rely on their families while others find communities based on other interests. These can include shared goals, life experiences or popular culture. You need others for many reasons. Community members can offer advice or practical help when you go through difficult times. You can also grow as a person from helping others So what can you do if you lack a sense of belonging? The first step will usually be to make a conscious effort to reach out to others. You could join groups based on interests you share. Or you could contact an individual with whom you have something in common and decide when to meet up. This may be uncomfortable at first, but as with most things, it becomes easier with practice. Focusing on others more than on yourself may help. Ask questions that show you care about others’ lives. This will help them feel valued. If you are shy, it will spare you from having to talk about yourself too much. Finding community requires a willingness to accept others. But it is also important to remain true to yourself. If a person always hides his or her true thoughts and feelings to fit in, how could he or she feel a sense of belonging? And it will be much easier if you ask yourself what matters most to you. Finding a place where you belong may not be easy. But it will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life. So if you are the one looking for it, don’t lose heart easily since it truly deserves the effort. 40. Where are babies’ first connections usually from? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why do you need others? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶Focusing on others more than on yourself may help when you are finding community, so you should ignore your true feelings or thoughts during this process. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Give an example to illustrate what benefit(s) having a sense of belonging has brought you. (In about 40 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Their first connections usually come from parents and other family members. 41. Because community members can offer advice or practical help when I go through difficult times. And I can also grow as a person from helping others. 42. Focusing on others more than on yourself may help when you are finding community, so you should ignore your true feelings or thoughts during this process. It is also important to remain true to yourself. If you always hide your true thoughts and feelings to fit in, you cannot feel a sense of belonging. 43. Having a sense of belonging in a book club has enriched my life immensely. Discussing books with like-minded individuals not only broadens my horizons but also provides me with emotional support and a platform to express myself freely, contributing to my personal growth and happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了人类归属感的重要性、获取途径及提升建议。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Their first connections usually come from parents and other family members.(他们的最初联系通常来自父母和其他家庭成员)”可知，婴儿最初的社会联系通常来自于父母和其他家庭成员。故答案为Their first connections usually come from parents and other family members. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“You need others for many reasons. Community members can offer advice or practical help when you go through difficult times. You can also grow as a person from helping others.(你需要他人的原因有很多。当你经历困难时期时，社区成员可以提供建议或实际帮助。通过帮助他人，你自己也能得到成长)”可知，我们需要他人是因为社区成员能在我们经历困难时提供建议或实际帮助，并且在帮助他人的过程中我们自身也能得到成长。故答案为Because community members can offer advice or practical help when I go through difficult times. And I can also grow as a person from helping others. 【42题详解】 考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中“Finding community requires a willingness to accept others. But it is also important to remain true to yourself. If a person always hides his or her true thoughts and feelings to fit in, how could he or she feel a sense of belonging?(寻找社群需要愿意接受他人的态度。但同时坚持做真实的自己也很重要。如果一个人总是隐藏自己的真实想法和感受以适应群体，他或她又怎能感受到归属感呢？)”可知，寻找社群时，保持真实自我也很重要，如果一个人总是隐藏自己的真实想法和感受以适应群体，那么他或她将无法感受到归属感，忽视自己真实的想法和感受是不对的。因此，所给句子“Focusing on others more than on yourself may help when you are finding community, so you should ignore your true feelings or thoughts during this process.(当你找到社区时，关注他人而不是自己可能会有所帮助，所以在这个过程中你应该忽略你的真实感受或想法)”中的错误部分为“so you should ignore your true feelings or thoughts during this process.”。故答案为It is also important to remain true to yourself. If you always hide your true thoughts and feelings to fit in, you cannot feel a sense of belonging. 【43题详解】 开放性题目。此题要求举例说明拥有归属感给你带来的好处，答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：在读书俱乐部中拥有一份归属感极大地丰富了我的生活。与志趣相投的人一起讨论书籍不仅拓宽了我的视野，还为我提供了情感上的支持和一个自由表达自我的平台，这对我的个人成长和幸福感有着莫大的贡献。故答案为Having a sense of belonging in a book club has enriched my life immensely. Discussing books with like-minded individuals not only broadens my horizons but also provides me with emotional support and a platform to express myself freely, contributing to my personal growth and happiness. 第二节(20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你校科技社团将要组织一次以“人工智能(AI)与未来生活”为主题的活动，请你用英文给你校交换生Jim写一封邮件，邀请他参加，内容包括： 1．活动时间和地点； 2．活动目的和内容。 注意：1．词数 100左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, How is everything going recently?

Impressive scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can’t always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants. The Rock. Zanzibar On an enormous stone off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. Fresh lobster, prawns, octopus salad and calamari are just a few of the appetizing dining options. At low tide, customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they’re greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant,” is available for weddings and other small group events. The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines Stunning waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, are different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of these falls. Guests dine on authentic Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience. The Grotto, Thailand The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand’s Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining experience. Comfortable tables are arranged inside the cave. International food with a Thai influence is featured. For your next travel-and-dining adventure, why not make a reservation at one of these unique restaurants? 21. What do we know about The Rock? A. It is located on an enormous ship. B It is suitable for holding a wedding celebration. C. Customers can walk out to the restaurant all the time. D. The tables stand right in the beautiful blue-green water. 22. What do the three restaurants have in common? A. Customers can enjoy the beautiful views of the sea. B. Short boat rides are needed to get to these restaurants. C They offer the freshest seafood from the surrounding ocean. D. They integrate delicious food with incredible dining experiences. 23 What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To call on readers to visit the unique restaurants. B. To present available restaurants for readers to work in. C. To introduce the delicious food offered in the restaurants. D. To remind people to take a break from the busy schedules. B When Emma woke up, she knew it was going to be one of those days. She felt unwell — a cold had taken hold of her. Still, she needed to brave the storm of responsibilities at work. Emma dragged herself out of bed and got ready for work. Then she put on her raincoat and went out into the pouring rain. As she walked, she fought against the bad weather. Emma’s umbrella was almost useless as it was raining cats and dogs. Then like a bolt from the blue, the wind blew it inside out. She was immediately wet from head to toe. She said to herself in a quiet voice. “What a day to forget my rain boots!” At the office, the day was as stormy as the weather. She had a mountain of tasks. Handling endless emails and phone calls should have been a light wind. But before long, she was desperate to take a break so she could get a second wind. Then, at exactly the moment, her coworker Alex came to her rescue. Alex was not a fair-weather friend but was always ready to lend a hand. With a warm smile, he offered to help Emma. Having Alex assist her was like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. Their laughter and good-fellowship as they completed their tasks made the hours pass quickly. On her way home, Emma reflected on the day, which had ended up being surprisingly pleasant. She realized that every cloud did indeed have a silver lining. Today, that silver lining had been her wonderful colleague, Alex. When Emma arrived home, she decided to send Alex a heartfelt message of appreciation. She wrote, “Thanks for being my ray of sunshine in this rainy day!” It was a simple message, but it carried a lot of meaning. That night, listening to it rain cats and dogs outside, Emma couldn’t help but smile. She had weathered the storm with Alex’s help. 24. Why did Emma get totally wet? A. Because she forgot to take her umbrella. B. Because she didn’t wear her raincoat. C. Because her rain boots were broken. D. Because the wind was too strong. 25. What happened to Emma and Alex at the office? A. They finished the assignments with joy. B. They took a break to refresh themselves. C. They talked about the weather while performing tasks. D Alex came to rescue Emma because she was in danger. 26. How did Emma feel at last? A. Grateful and warm. B. Pleased and amused. C. Shocked and confused. D. Confident and determined. 27. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Save for a rainy day. B. Hard work pays off. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C Memories are funny, aren’t they? You can be going along, minding your business, and then, all of a sudden, a memory pops into your head. Sometimes memories are triggered (触发) by a song that reminds you of the setting where you first heard it. Or it may be a smell that makes you think of a delicious meal with your friends or family. Perhaps hearing kids arguing makes you remember an unhappy situation with childhood friends. These spontaneous (自发的) memories can be “sweet,” or they might be “sour.” Did you ever wonder what’s going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions? Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biologica Studies in California have made a discovery that could help to uncover this secret. The explanation is a bit technical (for those of us who are not brain scientists), but basically it all focuses on a single molecule (分子) called neurotensin (神经降压素). Our surrounding environment is constantly presenting our brain with stimuli (刺激). The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli. Our brain subsequently associates similar stimuli with the pleasant or painful memory that we experienced. The study by the Salk Institute was published in the journal Nature. The focus of their experiments was the brain circuitry of laboratory mice. After a sound was played the mice received either a pleasant swallow of sugary water or, an unpleasant electrical shock or puff of air. The researchers discovered that neurotensin was the signal that associated the sound with reward or with punishment When the gene (基因) that regulates neurotensin was removed from the mice’s brains, they had more difficulty connecting the sound with the sugary water. However, the negative responses were enhanced. Understanding how neurons in the brain respond to neurotensin could have influences on one’s mental health. Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin (connected with positive rewards). On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative responses to dominate. Thus, regulating neurotensin could help to maintain mental stability. One other thing: The research study showed that the brain may tend to be a pessimist, focusing on fearful memories that cause negative emotional responses. Perhaps insights into neurotensin will help us have fewer sour memories and more sweet ones. 28. What is the function of neurotensin? A. To provide our brain with stimuli. B. To indicate the category of an experience. C. To focus on the surrounding environment. D. To associate the stimuli with our memory. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Addictions and anxiety may be related to different levels of neurotensin. B. The mice were given both sugary water and an electrical shock after hearing a sound. C. As the gene which controls neurotensin disappeared, the negative responses decreased. D. The brain prefers connecting with fearful memories which produce unexpected emotions. 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. What happens in our brain to form our memory. B. What the discovery of memory can do for mental health. C. How brain connects our memory with different emotions. D. How we regulate neurotensin to make us have good emotions. D In this age of social media, everyone has followed the review trend. Nearly every business or website persuades customers to leave reviews as they can drive traffic to the site or business. The online business directory Yelp, which gets 178 million monthly visitors, invites anyone with a cellphone to leave a review of a business or restaurant. But by no means are negative reviews always honest. Some people threaten to give a bad review to extort (敲诈) discounted or free food from a restaurant. Some then follow through when their demands are not met. But there are two sides to every story. One Denver chef decided to respond to bad reviews at his restaurant. As it turned out, some customers who left bad review s deserved bad reviews themselves. One customer’s terrible review claimed that the food at the restaurant was so awful that he didn’t eat a single bite. The chef looked through the monitor and found clear evidence that he had eaten every bite! In response, the chef called out the dissatisfied customer in his own negative review. Since the chef started responding to all his negative reviews, business at his restaurant has nearly doubled. Telling people what you think of them as the result of a bad review can backfire on you, especially when a bad review is justified. Reviews are important because 94 percent of diners read online review s before they decide where to eat. But bad reviews appear for many reasons. The reviewer may be having a bad day, or the chef may be sick and the substitute (代替者) couldn’t fill his shoes, so the cuisine suffered. Or perhaps the service wasn’t as good as usual. The worst-case scene is that the reviewer wants to punish the restaurant on purpose for some slight, real or imagined. So one or two bad reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. Many negative reviews, however, indicate a problem. So what is a restauranteur to do? First give an honest assessment of any negative reviews. Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points. Are there areas for improvement? If the answer is yes, make adjustments. Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive. The goal should be to improve the situation, not just blow off steam. 31. The author mentions Yelp in Paragraph 1 to ______. A. introduce the topic B. predict the ending C. evaluate an argument D. support a statement 32. Regarding negative reviews to restaurants, the author is ______. A. positive B. objective C. negative D. doubtful 33. What does the underlined word “valid” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Philosophical. B. Identical. C. Reasonable. D. Legal. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Who to Be Responsible for Bad Reviews? B. When to Respond to Bad Reviews? C. How to Criticise Bad Reviews? D. What to Do with Bad Reviews? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共 10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Before you head out to a fun event where there will be many people, you should be aware of the dangers of a crowd crush (拥挤的人群), whose possibility adds up during the festivals or on some celebrating occasions. Though the risk of crowd crush is rare, it can be deadly when it happens. Crowd crush occurs when many people are packed together and begin to fall over one another. In the past, such instances have caused horrible injury and even death. ____35____ Before attending a crowded event, look up a map of the venue. ____36____ Once you arrive, choosing the right spot can be crucial. Avoid the middle or front; instead, pick the back or edges of a crowd. It s also important to trust your feelings. Stay aware to see if you feel packed in at any point. The more crowded the event becomes, the sooner you may need to move to a safe place. ____37____ The most important thing you can do is stay on your feet. To do this, spread your feet apart and bend your knees a little. Also make sure to move with the flow of the crowd. Trying to move against a crowd of people will only end in disaster. Helping others is another great way to keep everyone safe. Once one person falls down, more people tend to fall over them. ____38____ A common cause of death in a crowd crush isn’t being crushed but rather losing air. It’s best to hold out your arms in front of your chest. ____39____ It also protects your chest and lungs from being crushed on the ground should you fall. There is usually fun where the crowds are, so enjoy yourself. But meanwhile, it is also important to remember to stay alert and take care of your family members when you sense the smell of danger. A. If you do end up in a crush, here’s how you can stay safe. B. This allows space between you and the person in front of you. C. So if your neighbor in the crowd falls to the ground, help them up. D. Seeking for a safer place takes some time and is sometimes challenging. E. To avoid such an outcome, it’s best to escape the crush before it happens. F. The shortage of air means less oxygen, which will lead to serious consequences. G. This will give you an idea of the surroundings—pay special attention to any exits. 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 From birth, every person needs other human beings.
