阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
To help new students, the International Business Institute (IBI) plans to set up a buddy (伙伴) peer support project. The project will help new students meet current students at IBI who can provide them with some friendly company during their first months in Newcastle and help them with any small problems that they may have.
What’s in it for you?
We believe that being a buddy will be rewarding in several ways. As a volunteer, it will be personally satisfying to know that you are able to help new students. It will also help you make contacts that may be valuable in your future academic and professional lives. If you are an overseas student, it will give you another opportunity to practise speaking English.
Responsibilities of buddies
·Telephone and arrange to make contact with the new student.
·Meet the student and show him/her around the campus and the local area. Answer questions about living in Newcastle and administration procedures at IBI.
·Arrange to meet the new student one morning or afternoon one weekend early in the semester, and take the student to places that you enjoy in Newcastle.
·Be prepared to take phone calls from the new student to answer further questions that he/she may have from time to time. Meet to explain information to the new student in person, if required.
·You will be matched to an individual new student. However, if you have friends who are also buddies, you might prefer to form a support group together. This would mean that you meet the new students as a group rather than one-on-one.
·Being a buddy is voluntary. There is no “requirement” to provide assistance beyond the help outlined above.
Please note that if you agree to become a peer support buddy, you will be expected to fulfil your role conscientiously and cheerfully. It will be important to be considerate and reliable so that the student can feel confident in your support.
1. According to the passage, what benefit can you get from being a buddy?
A. You can learn how to be a confident person.
B. It is easy for you to find some friendly company.
C. You can be rewarded with both money and prizes.
D. It may be helpful for your future studies and career.
2. As a buddy, you need to ________.
A form a support group with other volunteers at IBI
B. provide assistance in studying each subject after class
C. meet the new student every morning early in the semester
D. help the new student get familiar with his or her surroundings
3. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce campus life for new students.
B. To attract potential volunteers to be peer supporters.
C. To offer an opportunity to practise speaking English.
D. To provide some information about studying overseas.
B
In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei, 26, who now works as a flight instructor at the Air Force Aviation University.
In 2015, Wei was admitted into the Air Force Aviation University and became an Air Force pilot student. According to Wei, pilots need to not only study aviation theory but also practice difficult aerobatics (飞行特技) like rolls and loops. These moves require strong resistance to g-forces. “To do a loop, a pilot has to bear about 3g of load, which feels like three times their body weight pressing down on them,” said Wei. To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats. They also use special equipment like a spinning ladder (旋梯) to overcome dizziness.
Despite all the training, becoming a top PLA Air Force pilot remains a tough job. “During flight, pilots must carefully decide how to land, especially at night, and maintain position during formation flight,” explained Wei. He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice.
In the world of aviation, a balanced mindset and quick thinking are very important. One of Wei’s most unforgettable experiences was dealing with illusions (错觉) during a formation fight up above the clouds. All he could see in front of him was the lead aircraft and clouds. “I felt like I was turning all the time, but my instruments showed that my flight was level,” said Wei. “In such situations, trusting instruments is key to making sound decisions.”
But what always remains constant is the great sense of freedom and pride that Wei feels as he flies his aircraft in the sky and looks down at Earth from above. Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.”
4. What inspired Wei Fangjie to pursue a career as a pilot?
A. Meeting a flight instructor at school. B. His deep interest in aviation technology.
C. Advice from a high school career advisor. D. Seeing a poster wanting PLA Air Force pilots.
5. How do pilots develop resistance to g-forces?
A. By practicing aerobatics. B. By getting rid of dizziness.
C. By flying with a spinning ladder. D. By doing strength-building exercises.
6. What is the key to mastering flying skills, according to Wei?
A. Quick thinking. B. Frequent training.
C. A balanced mindset. D. Overcoming illusions.
7. What is Wei’s current goal as a fight instructor?
A. Training a new generation of skilled pilots. B. Flying his aircraft with a sense of freedom.
C. Encouraging more young people to become pilots. D. Contributing to the development of aviation theory.
C
A recent study has discovered that gentle sound stimulation, referred to as pink noise, could enhance deep sleep among older adults and strengthen their word recall abilities.
Deep sleep is critical for memory consolidation. But beginning in middle age, it decreases considerably, contributing to memory loss in aging. The sound stimulation significantly enhanced deep sleep in participants and their scores on a memory test. This innovative approach offers a simple and safe means to potentially enhance memory among older individuals and mitigate the natural age-related memory decline.
A team of researchers from the Northwestern University in the US gathered 13 adults aged 60 and above, monitoring their sleep in a lab for two nights. On both nights, the participants underwent a memory test, went to bed while wearing headphones and a special cap, and took the memory test again in the morning. But without the participants’ awareness, researchers only played pink noise into the headphones on one night. More specifically, they timed the sounds to match the participants’ slow-wave oscillations. During deep sleep, brain waves slow to approximately one oscillation per second, compared to about ten oscillations per second during wakefulness. The system they employed in the study allowed the team to deliver a low burst of pink noise at the “precise moment” when the participants’ slow waves rose — a pattern that is unique to each person.
The study found that participants’ slow waves increased after the night of sound stimulation, suggesting a potential enhancement in their deep sleep quality. And in the morning after hearing pink noise, they performed three times better on memory tests than they did after sleeping without any sound stimulation.
The study was a relatively small one and Northwestern has taken steps to confirm its findings and to study how longer-term use of pink noise affects sleep. The team aims to develop an affordable device that people can use at home, from the comfort of their beds.
8. What did the study reveal about the impact of pink noise?
A. It disturbs overall sleep quality. B. It weakens word recall abilities.
C It increases the length of sleep. D. It boosts memory performance.
9. The underlined word “mitigate” in the second paragraph most probably means _________.
A. decrease B. notice C. worsen D. describe
10. What can be learned about the new study?
A. It adjusted participants’ slow-wave oscillations precisely.
B. It employed a sound system to match slow-wave oscillations.
C. It compared different sound effects on the elderly and the youth.
D. It played various sorts of pink noises into participants’ headphones.
11. It can be inferred that the approach used in the study _________.
A. pose a long-term risk for older adults.
B. requires an innovative and affordable device
C has the potential to be put into practice.
D. lacks researchers’ interest in confirming findings.
D
Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”? It’s like the promise of a sweet holiday following what seems like long-time exhaustion. It’s the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day — until by Friday, we’re practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.
The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you’re getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That’s when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, the weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can ease any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.
That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd that there’s even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even monster.com — a website that specializes in binding humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle — admits it’s a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really had” Sunday night blues.
For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resists — staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.
But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it’s because the counter is reset and the weekend, or happiness, seems at furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don’t much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don’t leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.
12. What do we know about the weekend in Paragraph 2?
A. It is hard-earned.
B. It doesn’t bring joy as expected.
C. It adds to people’s anxiety and stress.
D. It provides good time to relax.
13. Why does the writer mention monster.com in the text?
A. To clarify a question. B. To show its popularity.
C. To provides an illustration. D. To support his idea.
14. What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?
A. Tolerant. B. Conservative. C. Unwise. D. Practical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays
B. Why Monday Takes a Bite out of Sunday
C. Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult
D. Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives

____17____ Your sense of smell allows you to distinguish between something like strawberry and cherry. Scientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene.

While preferences can be formed after a few attempts, negative experiences with foods, especially when you’re young, can have a lasting effect. ____20____ Jasmine Robinson, 29, from Athens, shared her story about olives.

Marie had always dreamed of becoming a professional dancer and was preparing for a high-level dance competition which was aimed to draw excellent dancers from all over the country. It was a prestigious (负有盛名的) event, and Marie knew that if she wanted to make a name for herself in the world of ballet, this was her chance. She spent every waking moment practicing, determined to give it her all on the big day.
When the day of the competition arrived, Marie was nervous but excited. She had trained hard for this moment for years and felt confident in her well-prepared dancing. As she walked onto the stage, the bright lights blinded her momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure and began to dance.
The music swirled around her as she moved gracefully across the stage. Her movements were fluid and precise, each step perfectly executed. The audience watched in awe as Marie danced, completely lost in the moment.
But then, it happened. During a particularly difficult jump, Marie landed awkwardly on her ankle and felt a sharp pain shoot up her leg. She tried to ignore it and continue dancing, but the pain was too much. She fell to the floor, clutching her leg in agony.
Paramedics rushed onto the stage to tend to her, and Marie was taken to the hospital. The diagnosis was devastating: she had torn several ligaments (韧带) in her ankle and would need extensive surgery to repair the damage. Marie was held by desperate shock. She had worked so hard to get where she was, and now it seemed like all of her dreams were slipping away. For weeks, Marie was confined to a wheelchair, unable to move without assistance. She felt helpless and alone, wondering if she would ever be able to dance again.

In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei, 26, who now works as a flight instructor at the Air Force Aviation University.
In 2015, Wei was admitted into the Air Force Aviation University and became an Air Force pilot student. According to Wei, pilots need to not only study aviation theory but also practice difficult aerobatics (飞行特技) like rolls and loops. These moves require strong resistance to g-forces. “To do a loop, a pilot has to bear about 3g of load, which feels like three times their body weight pressing down on them,” said Wei. To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats. They also use special equipment like a spinning ladder (旋梯) to overcome dizziness.
Despite all the training, becoming a top PLA Air Force pilot remains a tough job. “During flight, pilots must carefully decide how to land, especially at night, and maintain position during formation flight,” explained Wei. He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice.
In the world of aviation, a balanced mindset and quick thinking are very important. One of Wei’s most unforgettable experiences was dealing with illusions (错觉) during a formation fight up above the clouds. All he could see in front of him was the lead aircraft and clouds. “I felt like I was turning all the time, but my instruments showed that my flight was level,” said Wei. “In such situations, trusting instruments is key to making sound decisions.”
But what always remains constant is the great sense of freedom and pride that Wei feels as he flies his aircraft in the sky and looks down at Earth from above. Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.”
4. What inspired Wei Fangjie to pursue a career as a pilot?
A. Meeting a flight instructor at school. B. His deep interest in aviation technology.
C. Advice from a high school career advisor. D. Seeing a poster wanting PLA Air Force pilots.
5. How do pilots develop resistance to g-forces?
A. By practicing aerobatics. B. By getting rid of dizziness.
C. By flying with a spinning ladder. D. By doing strength-building exercises.
6. What is the key to mastering flying skills, according to Wei?
A. Quick thinking. B. Frequent training.
C. A balanced mindset. D. Overcoming illusions.
7. What is Wei’s current goal as a fight instructor?
A. Training a new generation of skilled pilots. B. Flying his aircraft with a sense of freedom.
C. Encouraging more young people to become pilots. D. Contributing to the development of aviation theory.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A

A recent study has discovered that gentle sound stimulation, referred to as pink noise, could enhance deep sleep among older adults and strengthen their word recall abilities.
Deep sleep is critical for memory consolidation. But beginning in middle age, it decreases considerably, contributing to memory loss in aging. The sound stimulation significantly enhanced deep sleep in participants and their scores on a memory test. This innovative approach offers a simple and safe means to potentially enhance memory among older individuals and mitigate the natural age-related memory decline.
A team of researchers from the Northwestern University in the US gathered 13 adults aged 60 and above, monitoring their sleep in a lab for two nights. On both nights, the participants underwent a memory test, went to bed while wearing headphones and a special cap, and took the memory test again in the morning. But without the participants’ awareness, researchers only played pink noise into the headphones on one night. More specifically, they timed the sounds to match the participants’ slow-wave oscillations. During deep sleep, brain waves slow to approximately one oscillation per second, compared to about ten oscillations per second during wakefulness. The system they employed in the study allowed the team to deliver a low burst of pink noise at the “precise moment” when the participants’ slow waves rose — a pattern that is unique to each person.
The study found that participants’ slow waves increased after the night of sound stimulation, suggesting a potential enhancement in their deep sleep quality. And in the morning after hearing pink noise, they performed three times better on memory tests than they did after sleeping without any sound stimulation.
The study was a relatively small one and Northwestern has taken steps to confirm its findings and to study how longer-term use of pink noise affects sleep. The team aims to develop an affordable device that people can use at home, from the comfort of their beds.
8. What did the study reveal about the impact of pink noise?
A. It disturbs overall sleep quality. B. It weakens word recall abilities.
C. It increases the length of sleep. D. It boosts memory performance.
9. The underlined word “mitigate” in the second paragraph most probably means _________.
A. decrease B. notice C. worsen D. describe
10. What can be learned about the new study?
A. It adjusted participants’ slow-wave oscillations precisely.
B. It employed a sound system to match slow-wave oscillations.
C. It compared different sound effects on the elderly and the youth.
D. It played various sorts of pink noises into participants’ headphones.
11. It can be inferred that the approach used in the study _________.
A. pose a long-term risk for older adults.
B. requires an innovative and affordable device
C. has the potential to be put into practice.
D. lacks researchers’ interest in confirming findings.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了一项新的研究发现,轻柔的声音刺激,有助于改善老年人的深度睡眠,并提高他们回忆单词的能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A recent study has discovered that gentle sound stimulation, referred to as pink noise, could enhance deep sleep among older adults and strengthen their word recall abilities.”(最近的一项研究发现,柔和的声音刺激,被称为粉红噪音,可以改善老年人的深度睡眠,增强他们的单词记忆能力。)可知,该研究表明粉红噪音可以改善老年人的深度睡眠,增强他们的单词记忆能力,即提高他们的记忆力。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第三四句“The sound stimulation significantly enhanced deep sleep in participants and their scores on a memory test. This innovative approach offers a simple and safe means to potentially enhance memory among older individuals”(声音刺激显著提高了参与者的深度睡眠和他们在记忆测试中的得分。这种创新的方法为潜在提高老年人的记忆力提供了一种简单而安全的方法)并结合第一段内容可知,该方法可以提高老年人的记忆力,故推知它可以减轻与年龄相关的自然记忆的衰退,故推知mitigate意为“减轻,减少”。故选A项。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第四五句“More specifically, they timed the sounds to match the participants’ slow-wave oscillations. During deep sleep, brain waves slow to approximately one oscillation per second, compared to about ten oscillations per second during wakefulness.”(更具体地说,他们对声音进行了定时,以匹配参与者的慢波振荡。在深度睡眠时,脑电波缓慢到大约每秒一次振荡,而在清醒时大约每秒10次振荡)可知,新研究采用了一种声音系统来匹配慢波振荡。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Northwestern has taken steps to confirm its findings and to study how longer-term use of pink noise affects sleep. The team aims to develop an affordable device that people can use at home, from the comfort of their beds.”(西北大学已采取措施证实其发现,并研究长期使用粉红噪音对睡眠的影响。该团队的目标是开发一种价格合理的设备,人们可以在舒适的床上在家使用。)可推知,本研究中使用的方法具有应用于实践的潜力。故选C项。

Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”? It’s like the promise of a sweet holiday following what seems like long-time exhaustion. It’s the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day — until by Friday, we’re practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.
The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you’re getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That’s when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, the weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can ease any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.
That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd that there’s even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even monster.com — a website that specializes in binding humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle — admits it’s a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really had” Sunday night blues.
For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resists — staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.
But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it’s because the counter is reset and the weekend, or happiness, seems at furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don’t much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don’t leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.
12. What do we know about the weekend in Paragraph 2?
A. It is hard-earned.
B. It doesn’t bring joy as expected.
C. It adds to people’s anxiety and stress.
D. It provides good time to relax.
13. Why does the writer mention monster.com in the text?
A. To clarify a question. B. To show its popularity.
C. To provides an illustration. D. To support his idea.
14. What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?
A. Tolerant. B. Conservative. C. Unwise. D. Practical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays
B. Why Monday Takes a Bite out of Sunday
C. Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult
D. Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了很多人会因为即将到来的周一而充满焦虑,无法好好享受周末,而且这种现象在人群中非常普遍。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“That’s when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, the weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can ease any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.(这时,焦虑悄然袭来,另一个倒计时开始了:离周一还有12个小时。当然,周末是自由时间。但是,即将到来的周一带来的压力会让你从周日晚上获得的快乐荡然无余。)”可知,周末并不像预想的那样充满快乐,周天总是笼罩在周一即将到来的焦虑中,会感到充满压力。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Even monster.com — a website that specializes in binding humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle — admits it’s a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really had” Sunday night blues.(就连monster.com——一个专门将人与周一到周五的周期绑定起来的网站——也承认这是个问题。Monster在一项调查中发现,76%的美国人“真的有”周日夜忧郁。)”可知,虽然Monster是一个绑定人与周一到周五周期的网站,但是也承认周日恐惧症的存在。由此推知,作者提到这个网站是为了佐证前文提到的观点:周日恐惧症普遍存在。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resists — staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.(对大多数人来说,星期天根本不是假日。这可能都归结为同一个问题:我们无法停止对明天的思考。更糟糕的是,为了从周末过渡到周一,我们可能会制定一些完全不健康的应对策略。有些人可能会抵制——熬夜,以让大脑麻木的分心形式榨取转瞬即逝的周日的每一分钟。)”可知,大多数人在过周末的时候,充满对周一的焦虑,有的甚至会有不健康的应对方式。由此可知,作者认为这种度过周末的方式并不明智。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了很多人无法好好享受周末这一问题背后的原因,因为他们会因为即将到来的周一而充满焦虑。因此B项“为什么周一会蚕食周日”符合文章大意,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

Do you like cilantro(香菜)? Cilantro is a common food that people tend to either adore or abuse. ____16____ But the reasons behind what you like and don’t like are not always so straightforward.
____17____ Your sense of smell allows you to distinguish between something like strawberry and cherry. Scientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor. ____18____ When you’re open to these foods, you learn to like what you eat. Even people who hate cilantro may be able to learn to at least tolerate it, if not like it.
Culture plays a big role in what you like, too. Food preferences vary across cultures. When it comes down to food preferences in different parts of the world, it has a lot to do with what’s available and considered a food staple (主食).____19____But there will always be exceptions-a Greek person who can’t stand olives or a Dutch person who hates cheese.
While preferences can be formed after a few attempts, negative experiences with foods, especially when you’re young, can have a lasting effect. ____20____ Jasmine Robinson, 29, from Athens, shared her story about olives. When she was young, another child, who wouldn’t let her have a turn on a swing, made fun of her while eating olives from a jar and being mean. She later tried olives as an adult but failed.

B. Love it or hate it is pretty clear.
C. But your biology is not everything.

【答案】16. B 17. E 18. C 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章分析讲述了人们对食物有所偏好的原因。
【16题详解】
前文“Cilantro is a common food that people tend to either adore or abuse.( 香菜是一种常见的食物,人们要么喜欢它,要么讨厌它。)”提到人们对香菜的喜好,下文“But the reasons behind what you like and don’t like are not always so straightforward.(但你喜欢什么和不喜欢什么背后的原因并不总是那么直截了当。)”提到了喜好的原因并不那么简单,因此推断空处需承上启下,B项“爱它或恨它是很清楚的。”符合语境,承接上文说明对食物的喜好简单明了,因此下文对偏好背后原因的探索。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据下文“Scientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor.( 科学家们观察了嗅觉受体,发现具有某种基因的个体。OR6A2对香菜的气味更敏感。这反过来又影响了人们对其味道的感知。)”可知,此处讲述了基因对食物偏爱的影响,因此推断E项“你的偏好可以归结为基因”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据前文“cientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor.( 科学家们观察了嗅觉受体,发现具有某种基因的个体。OR6A2对香菜的气味更敏感。这反过来又影响了人们对其味道的感知。)”可知,基因造成了对食物的偏好,下文“When you’re open to these foods, you learn to like what you eat. Even people who hate cilantro may be able to learn to at least tolerate it, if not like it.( 当你对这些食物敞开心扉时,你就会学会喜欢你吃的东西。即使是讨厌香菜的人,即使不喜欢它,至少也能学会忍受它。)”讲述如果学会接受,对食物偏好也会改变,与上文是转折关系,因此推断C项“但生理并不是一切。”符合语境,承上启下。故选C。
【19题详解】
前文“Culture plays a big role in what you like, too. Food preferences vary across cultures. When it comes down to food preferences in different parts of the world, it has a lot to do with what’s available and considered a food staple (主食).( 文化对你的喜好也起着很大的作用。不同文化对食物的偏好各不相同。当谈到世界不同地区的食物偏好时,它与什么是可用的和被认为是主食有很大关系。)”讲述对食物的喜好与文化有关,D项“这与熟悉程度有关,与生物学无关。”符合语境,说明对食物的熟悉程度决定着喜好,it指代上文提到的文化对喜好的影响。故选D。
20题详解】
前文“While preferences can be formed after a few attempts, negative experiences with foods, especially when you’re young, can have a lasting effect.(虽然偏好可以在几次尝试后形成,但对食物的负面体验,尤其是在你年轻的时候,可能会产生持久的影响。)”讲述对食物的体验对偏好的影响,G项中的“bad experience”呼应前文的experiences,因此推断G项“一次糟糕的经历就能让你对某件事失去兴趣。”符合语境。故选G。

【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:随着时间的推移,樊锦诗对保护民族文化遗产的决心越来越坚定。该空为句子的表语部分,提示词strong为形容词,根据时间状语over time可知,她奉献的决心随时间变化而越来越强,应使用形容词比较级作表语。故填stronger。

考查副词。句意:她于1974年加入中国共产党,1979年莫高窟正式向游客开放时,她更加坚定了保护莫高窟的决心。副词officially作状语修饰形容词,故填officially。

【答案】Embracing the Magic of Print Media
As the digital revolution sweeps through our lives, the appeal of screens and the convenience of online content have quietly caused print media to lose its charm. Peeking into our library, we’ll see newspapers gathering dust, like long-forgotten friends.
However, print media offers a unique reading experience. It encourages a slower and more reflective reading process, allowing readers to digest information more thoroughly. Besides, it gives readers the feel of the pages, the ink smell, and the freedom to flip through pages at our own pace, which offers us an escape into another world and a deeper dive into knowledge.
So, let’s bring back the joy of turning pages! Together, we can foster a culture of curiosity and lifelong learning that surpasses digital screens.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Marie had always dreamed of becoming a professional dancer and was preparing for a high-level dance competition which was aimed to draw excellent dancers from all over the country. It was a prestigious (负有盛名的) event, and Marie knew that if she wanted to make a name for herself in the world of ballet, this was her chance. She spent every waking moment practicing, determined to give it her all on the big day.
When the day of the competition arrived, Marie was nervous but excited. She had trained hard for this moment for years and felt confident in her well-prepared dancing. As she walked onto the stage, the bright lights blinded her momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure and began to dance.
The music swirled around her as she moved gracefully across the stage. Her movements were fluid and precise, each step perfectly executed. The audience watched in awe as Marie danced, completely lost in the moment.
But then, it happened. During a particularly difficult jump, Marie landed awkwardly on her ankle and felt a sharp pain shoot up her leg. She tried to ignore it and continue dancing, but the pain was too much. She fell to the floor, clutching her leg in agony.
Paramedics rushed onto the stage to tend to her, and Marie was taken to the hospital. The diagnosis was devastating: she had torn several ligaments (韧带) in her ankle and would need extensive surgery to repair the damage. Marie was held by desperate shock. She had worked so hard to get where she was, and now it seemed like all of her dreams were slipping away. For weeks, Marie was confined to a wheelchair, unable to move without assistance. She felt helpless and alone, wondering if she would ever be able to dance again.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day, she heard a knock on her hospital room door and in came Jenny, her toughest opponent in the dance competition. Marie was surprised and a little skeptical of why Jenny would want to visit her. After all, they had been fierce competitors just days earlier and didn’t really know each other outside of the competition. Jenny gently walked close and sat by Marie, explaining that as a fellow dancer, she understood the pain and suffering, and just wanted to offer support to Marie during this challenging time. Since then, Jenny continued to visit Marie at the hospital regularly, bringing her flowers and gifts to lift her spirits. Every time Marie felt depressed, Jenny would offer words of encouragement and support.
Slowly, she felt more open to accepting Jenny’s help and support. Jenny even went with Marie to physical therapy sessions, supporting her as she worked through the painful exercises and stretches. She would hold her hand and cheer her on, reminding her that each small step was getting her closer to achieving her goals. As Marie slowly started to regain her strength and mobility, Jenny became an integral part of her recovery process. And their friendship continued to grow stronger as they supported each other through the ups and downs of their journey.
