Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says.
Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams.
Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies.
The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition.
Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.”
24. What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut?
A. Her desire to push herself to the limit.
B. Her early enthusiasm in space exploration.
C. Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers.
D. Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts.
25. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Koch invented some scientific devices.
B. Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight.
C. Various hobbies prepared Koch for adventure.
D. Role models impacted Koch greatly in her life journey.
26. What does Koch’s advice indicate?
A. Seeking support is crucial for dream chasers.
B. Being kind to others is the stepstone to success.
C. Welcoming challenges leads to personal growth.
D. Working tirelessly is key to overcoming barriers.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Christina Koch: An Explorer of Nature
B. Christina Koch: A Dream Pursuer to Space
C. Christina Koch: A Role Model from Jacksonville
D. Christina Koch: A Distinguished Female Scientist
C
July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires have swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heat waves are damaging the world’s third-largest coral reef off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase, it means many even hotter summers lie ahead.
Last week, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres coined a new term. The time of “global warming” has ended, he announced, and the time of “global boiling” has arrived.
But critics have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, “global boiling” is clearly an overstatement, but “global warming” is now far too weak a description. Many climate scientists have pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because many of us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with our own eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and relevant events have struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain.
Critics of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen and act — now we can see what climate change looks like.
Are there better phrases to describe this? Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: can you think up a brief, correct phrase to cover worsening local-and-regional-scale droughts, fires, typhoons and floods; damage to crops and food safety; water shortages; existential threats to coral reefs and low-lying communities? You can see how hard it is.
28. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Explained. B. Invented.
C. Valued. D. Accepted.
29. What do critics think of the term “global boiling”?
A. It is overused. B. It is exaggerated.
C. It is lacking in enough attention. D. It is too weak to describe the problem.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Climate crises are worsening. B. Several crises will be solved.
C. People will face food shortages. D. People are taking effective measures.
31. What is Guterres’s hope in using deeply impactful phrases?
A. To scare people into taking immediate action.
B. To entertain readers with Hollywood-style stories.
C. To provide a more accurate description of global warming.
D. To make people aware of the severity of the climate crisis.
D
Top-down processing is the process of using context or general knowledge to understand what we perceive (感知). In 1970 psychologist Richard Gregory introduced the concept. He claimed that perception is constructive.
The processing plays an important role in our interactions with our environment. Our five senses are constantly taking in information. At any given time, we are experiencing different sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and ways things feel when we touch them. If we paid attention to each one of our senses all the time, we’d never do anything else. It enables us to simplify the process by relying on context and our pre-existing knowledge to understand what we notice. If our brains didn’t employ top-down processing our senses would overwhelm us.
Top-down processing helps us understand what our senses are perceiving in our daily lives. For example, suppose you receive an important letter but a few drops of water have ruined part of the text. A few letters in different words are now just smudges (污迹). Yet, you’re still able to read the letter in its entirety using top-down processing. You use the context of the words and sentences in which the smudges appear and your knowledge of reading to comprehend the meaning of the letter’s message. See a word LO*E, with one letter knocked down, yet you are still able to quickly recognize the word as LOVE.
On the one hand, top-down processing serves a positive function by simplifying the way we comprehend our sensory perceptions. It enables us to shortcut the cognitive path between our perceptions and their meaning. On the other hand, patterns can also prevent us from perceiving things in unique ways. So we may understand the pattern of how to use a mobile phone, but if the manufacturer comes out with a new phone that employs completely unique interaction patterns, we may not be able to figure out how to use it. Besides, as our knowledge is limited and biased (片面的) in certain ways, it can lead to perceptual errors.
32. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 2?
A. To explain main reasons. B. To give practical examples.
C. To draw specific conclusions. D. To analyse theoretical frameworks.
33. What maybe the key to understanding a text with missing letters?
A. Pre-existing knowledge. B. Active interactions.
C. Five physical senses. D. Lessons from mistakes
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Every coin has two sides. D. Experience is the best teacher.
35. What does the author intend to do according to the text?
A. Introduce a reading method. B. Deepen underlying meanings.
C. Illustrate a cognitive strategy. D. Clarify a producing process.

阅读下面短文,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。
Waking up at the crack of dawn and going for a run might feel awful when you start trying to make it a habit. Weaving a significant new activity such as this into your regular routine obviously takes determination and time. ___36___
One popular idea suggests that it takes 21 days to solidify a habit. People tend to feel extra motivated to start a new habit or kick an old one. ___37___ Yet every January 21 very few people can boast that they have kept their resolutions.
Everyone has a unique habit-building timeline. ___38___ Experts suggest various individualized ways to practice frequently, which eventually turn a task into an unconscious habit.
___39___ Teaching yourself a completely new skill or process obviously takes longer than remembering to drink more water in the morning. A 2015 study found that new gym-goers had to exercise at least four times a week for six weeks in order to develop an exercise habit. The results showed that creating a handwashing habit took a few weeks. ___40___ Anyway, handwashing is less complex and offers more opportunities to practice.
The researchers also suggested that habit formation depends on the effort that a person puts into practicing an activity and on the presence of environmental cues that would remind them to carry out the behavior.
A The type of activity is also a factor.
B. The strategies of activity impact the way.
C. People want to form a habit of exercising regularly.
D. But how much time is really needed to make that habit stick?
E. It might sound easily reachable to make a resolution on New Year’s Day.
F. By comparison, it took half a year for people to develop an exercise habit.
G. However long it is for any individual, repetition is the key to making it work.

67. 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。
Teachers are a gift, especially Troy’s teacher, Donna. She always goes above and beyond for her students, but what she did for Troy’s family is truly beyond selflessness but a miracle(奇迹).
Donna is one of those teachers who pay close attention to the students in their classroom. She began to notice something odd in one of her elementary students, Troy. He was not active in class like he had been. Troy used to be a passionate student in class, engaging with teachers and his friends. Being a helping hand to the teacher and classmates, Troy was always welcomed by everybody. However, he was all of a sudden so shut down and his behavior was simply not the same. He seemed to be silent all the time, and his eyes lost light of desire for knowledge and passion for any activities. Donna grew very concerned and wondered if there was something going on that affected his performance at school. So, she reached out to Troy’s mom to express her concerns.
And that was when she discovered something wrong. For the past year, his mom had been in stage-five kidney(肾)failure. She was in pain every day and desperately needed a new kidney. But she had a rare blood type, so finding a match for a kidney transplant was virtually impossible. Her condition had been a very long and anxious journey. It had been so painful for the family, and it had definitely made an impact on Troy. And in class, he had been silently carrying the pain his mom was going through at home.
The news broke Donna’s heart. She knew that she just had to do something. She was there as a loving friend to help Troy with his studies, but she was also there for his mom. Donna researched how to become a kidney donor and discovered that she had the same rare blood type as Troy’s mom. She got tested and, surprisingly, she was a match.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Donna told the news to Troy’s family, everyone was surprised.

W: But that luck turned into 90 Clifford books that have sold 126 million copies in 13 languages.

【解析】
【原文】 Hello everyone. Today I'm going to talk about small talk that is short conversations people often have with strangers they meet. Such exchanges occur at bus stops, on buses, while waiting in line almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. The topics may include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news. But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations. Besides, it's better to ask open ended questions if you ask visitors. Do you like our city? They may say simply "Yes!". On the other hand, if you ask "What do you think of our city?" ,they will have more freedom in answering. This type of question also shows that you are interested in them. If you appear interested in what people are saying and they feel more comfortable talking with you.

Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says.
Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams.
Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies.
The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition.
Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.”
24. What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut?
A. Her desire to push herself to the limit.
B. Her early enthusiasm in space exploration.
C. Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers.
D. Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts.
25. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Koch invented some scientific devices.
B. Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight.
C. Various hobbies prepared Koch for adventure.
D. Role models impacted Koch greatly in her life journey.
26. What does Koch’s advice indicate?
A. Seeking support is crucial for dream chasers.
B. Being kind to others is the stepstone to success.
C. Welcoming challenges leads to personal growth.
D. Working tirelessly is key to overcoming barriers.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Christina Koch: An Explorer of Nature
B Christina Koch: A Dream Pursuer to Space
C. Christina Koch: A Role Model from Jacksonville
D. Christina Koch: A Distinguished Female Scientist
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了克里斯蒂娜·科赫提倡追随激情,应接挑战,并支持他人,她将在2025年的阿尔忒弥斯二号任务中飞得更远,实现自己的雄心壮志。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men.”(克里斯蒂娜·科赫(Christina Koch)在北卡罗来纳州的一个小镇杰克逊维尔(Jacksonville)长大,她一直知道自己想成为一名宇航员。这个梦想早在幼儿园就开始了,当时太空飞行是由男性主导的。)可知,她早期对太空探索的热情最初促使科赫成为一名宇航员。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams.”(科赫从莎莉·莱德(Sally Ride)和梅·杰米森(Mae Jemison)等先驱身上找到了灵感,但也从日常生活中的英雄身上找到了灵感——从民权活动家到她独立的祖母。这些例子,加上她的家人对努力工作的重视,给了她追求梦想的勇气。)可推知,科赫的人生旅途中,榜样对科赫的人生影响很大。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.” ”(科赫倡导追随激情,迎接挑战。“做你害怕的事,”她建议道,“因为那些事情往往会带来最大的成就感和贡献。”)可推知,科赫的建议表明,迎接挑战能促进个人成长。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says.”(克里斯蒂娜·科赫(Christina Koch)在北卡罗来纳州的一个小镇杰克逊维尔(Jacksonville)长大,她一直知道自己想成为一名宇航员。这个梦想早在幼儿园就开始了,当时太空飞行是由男性主导的。“幸运的是,当我告诉幼儿园老师我想成为一名宇航员时,他们支持我。没人告诉我这是不可能实现的。无论是我自己的固执还是这种鼓励,我确实全力以赴地追求成为一名宇航员的梦想,”她说。)可知,文章主要讲的是克里斯蒂娜·科赫提倡追随激情,应接挑战,并支持他人,她将在2025年的阿尔忒弥斯二号任务中飞得更远,实现自己的雄心壮志。因此本文的最佳标题是“克里斯蒂娜·科赫:太空追梦者”。故选B项。
C
July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires have swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heat waves are damaging the world’s third-largest coral reef off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase, it means many even hotter summers lie ahead.
Last week, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres coined a new term. The time of “global warming” has ended, he announced, and the time of “global boiling” has arrived.
But critics have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, “global boiling” is clearly an overstatement, but “global warming” is now far too weak a description. Many climate scientists have pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because many of us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with our own eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and relevant events have struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain.
Critics of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen and act — now we can see what climate change looks like.
Are there better phrases to describe this? Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: can you think up a brief, correct phrase to cover worsening local-and-regional-scale droughts, fires, typhoons and floods; damage to crops and food safety; water shortages; existential threats to coral reefs and low-lying communities? You can see how hard it is.
28. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Explained. B. Invented.
C. Valued. D. Accepted.
29. What do critics think of the term “global boiling”?
A. It is overused. B. It is exaggerated.
C. It is lacking in enough attention. D. It is too weak to describe the problem.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Climate crises are worsening. B. Several crises will be solved.
C. People will face food shortages. D. People are taking effective measures.
31. What is Guterres’s hope in using deeply impactful phrases?
A. To scare people into taking immediate action.
B. To entertain readers with Hollywood-style stories.
C. To provide a more accurate description of global warming.
D. To make people aware of the severity of the climate crisis.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻稿。文章主要讲述,随着气候变化,“全球沸腾”的时代到来了。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段“Last week, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres coined a new term. The time of ‘global warming’ has ended, he announced, and the time of ‘global boiling’ has arrived.(上周,联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯coined一个新术语。他宣布,‘全球变暖’的时代已经结束,‘全球沸腾’的时代到来了。)”可知,这里应指安东尼奥·古特雷斯“创造”出一个新术语。所以猜测coined表“创造”的意思。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“But critics have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, ‘global boiling’ is clearly an overstatement, but‘global warming’ is now far too weak a description.(但批评者强烈反对这个说法。在某种程度上,‘全球变暖’显然是夸大其词,但现在对‘全球升温’的描述太弱了。)”可知,批评者认为用“全球沸腾”一词把实际情况夸大了。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and relevant events have struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain.(但这种情况正在改变。在过去几年中,极端天气和相关事件袭击了许多国家。澳大利亚的黑夏带来了野火,烧毁了相当于英国大小的地区。2021年,德国遭遇严重洪灾。2022年巴基斯坦的洪水淹没了该国大部分地区。中国经历了旱灾和水灾。多年来,可怕的干旱袭击了非洲之角。由于暴雨造成的损失,印度已经停止了大米出口。)”可知,气候危机正在恶化。故选A项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第六段“When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen and act — now we can see what climate change looks like.(当古特雷斯使用极具影响力的短语时,他并不是在邀请我们想象一场好莱坞式的灾难。他希望的是让人们倾听并采取行动——现在我们可以看到气候变化是什么样子了。)”可知,古特雷斯希望使用极具影响力的短语,让人们意识到气候危机的严重性。故选D项。
D
Top-down processing is the process of using context or general knowledge to understand what we perceive (感知). In 1970, psychologist Richard Gregory introduced the concept. He claimed that perception is constructive.
The processing plays an important role in our interactions with our environment. Our five senses are constantly taking in information. At any given time, we are experiencing different sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and ways things feel when we touch them. If we paid attention to each one of our senses all the time, we’d never do anything else. It enables us to simplify the process by relying on context and our pre-existing knowledge to understand what we notice. If our brains didn’t employ top-down processing our senses would overwhelm us.
Top-down processing helps us understand what our senses are perceiving in our daily lives. For example, suppose you receive an important letter but a few drops of water have ruined part of the text. A few letters in different words are now just smudges (污迹). Yet, you’re still able to read the letter in its entirety using top-down processing. You use the context of the words and sentences in which the smudges appear and your knowledge of reading to comprehend the meaning of the letter’s message. See a word LO*E, with one letter knocked down, yet you are still able to quickly recognize the word as LOVE.
On the one hand, top-down processing serves a positive function by simplifying the way we comprehend our sensory perceptions. It enables us to shortcut the cognitive path between our perceptions and their meaning. On the other hand, patterns can also prevent us from perceiving things in unique ways. So we may understand the pattern of how to use a mobile phone, but if the manufacturer comes out with a new phone that employs completely unique interaction patterns, we may not be able to figure out how to use it. Besides, as our knowledge is limited and biased (片面的) in certain ways, it can lead to perceptual errors.
32. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 2?
A. To explain main reasons. B. To give practical examples.
C. To draw specific conclusions. D. To analyse theoretical frameworks.
33. What maybe the key to understanding a text with missing letters?
A. Pre-existing knowledge. B. Active interactions.
C. Five physical senses. D. Lessons from mistakes
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Every coin has two sides. D. Experience is the best teacher.
35. What does the author intend to do according to the text?
A. Introduce a reading method. B. Deepen underlying meanings.
C. Illustrate a cognitive strategy. D. Clarify a producing process.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自上而下的处理信息帮助我们理解感知到的事物,文章主要解释了这一认知过程。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The processing plays an important role in our interactions with our environment. Our five senses are constantly taking in information. At any given time, we are experiencing different sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and ways things feel when we touch them. If we paid attention to each one of our senses all the time, we’d never do anything else. It enables us to simplify the process by relying on context and our pre-existing knowledge to understand what we notice. If our brains didn’t employ top-down processing our senses would overwhelm us.(这个过程在我们与环境的互动中起着重要的作用。我们的五种感官不断地接收信息。在任何给定的时间,我们都在体验不同的视觉、声音、味道、气味,以及触摸事物时的感觉。如果我们一直关注我们的每一种感官,我们就永远不会做其他事情。它使我们能够通过依赖上下文和我们已有的知识来理解我们注意到的东西,从而简化这个过程。如果我们的大脑不采用自上而下的处理方式,我们的感官就会压倒我们)”可知,作者写第二段的目的是分析自上而下的处理是至关重要的主要原因。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“You use the context of the words and sentences in which the smudges appear and your knowledge of reading to comprehend the meaning of the letter’s message. See a word LO*E, with one letter knocked down, yet you are still able to quickly recognize the word as LOVE.(你可以利用出现污迹的单词和句子的上下文以及你的阅读知识来理解信件的意思。看到一个单词“LO*E”,一个字母被敲掉了,但你仍然能很快认出这个单词是“LOVE”)”可知,理解一篇缺少字母的文章的关键是已有的信息。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“On the one hand, top-down processing serves a positive function by simplifying the way we comprehend our sensory perceptions. It enables us to shortcut the cognitive path between our perceptions and their meaning. On the other hand, patterns can also prevent us from perceiving things in unique ways.(一方面,自上而下的处理通过简化我们理解感官知觉的方式起到了积极的作用。它使我们能够缩短我们的感知和它们的意义之间的认知路径。另一方面,模式也可以阻止我们以独特的方式感知事物)”可知,自上而下的处理通常是有益的,但它也有局限性,有时会阻碍我们以新颖的方式感知事物或适应不熟悉的情况的能力。因此,事物都有两面性。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Top-down processing is the process of using context or general knowledge to understand what we perceive (感知). In 1970, psychologist Richard Gregory introduced the concept. He claimed that perception is constructive.(自上而下的处理是使用上下文或一般知识来理解我们所感知的东西的过程。1970年,心理学家理查德·格雷戈里提出了这个概念。他声称感知是建设性的)”,结合文章主要说明了自上而下的处理信息帮助我们理解感知到的事物,文章主要解释了这一认知过程。可知,作者想要说明一个认知策略。故选C。

Waking up at the crack of dawn and going for a run might feel awful when you start trying to make it a habit. Weaving a significant new activity such as this into your regular routine obviously takes determination and time. ___36___
One popular idea suggests that it takes 21 days to solidify a habit. People tend to feel extra motivated to start a new habit or kick an old one. ___37___ Yet every January 21 very few people can boast that they have kept their resolutions.
Everyone has a unique habit-building timeline. ___38___ Experts suggest various individualized ways to practice frequently, which eventually turn a task into an unconscious habit.
___39___ Teaching yourself a completely new skill or process obviously takes longer than remembering to drink more water in the morning. A 2015 study found that new gym-goers had to exercise at least four times a week for six weeks in order to develop an exercise habit. The results showed that creating a handwashing habit took a few weeks. ___40___ Anyway, handwashing is less complex and offers more opportunities to practice.

C. People want to form a habit of exercising regularly.

【38题详解】
根据下文“Experts suggest various individualized ways to practice frequently, which eventually turn a task into an unconscious habit.(专家建议各种个性化的方法来频繁练习,最终将一项任务变成一种无意识的习惯)”可知,此处是说频繁练习对于养成习惯的重要性,G项“无论对任何个人来说有多长时间,重复都是成功的关键”符合语境,故选G。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Teaching yourself a completely new skill or process obviously takes longer than remembering to drink more water in the morning.(自学一项全新的技能或过程显然比记住早上多喝水要花更长的时间)”可知,本段是说活动类型影响新习惯的养成,A项“活动的类型也是一个因素”符合语境,故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“The results showed that creating a handwashing habit took a few weeks.(结果表明,养成洗手的习惯需要几周的时间)”和下文“Anyway, handwashing is less complex and offers more opportunities to practice.(不管怎样,洗手不那么复杂,而且提供了更多练习的机会)”可知,空处是提及另一个新习惯,和养成洗手的习惯作比较,F项“相比之下,人们需要半年的时间才能养成锻炼的习惯”符合语境,故选F。

67. 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。
Teachers are a gift, especially Troy’s teacher, Donna. She always goes above and beyond for her students, but what she did for Troy’s family is truly beyond selflessness but a miracle(奇迹).
Donna is one of those teachers who pay close attention to the students in their classroom. She began to notice something odd in one of her elementary students, Troy. He was not active in class like he had been. Troy used to be a passionate student in class, engaging with teachers and his friends. Being a helping hand to the teacher and classmates, Troy was always welcomed by everybody. However, he was all of a sudden so shut down and his behavior was simply not the same. He seemed to be silent all the time, and his eyes lost light of desire for knowledge and passion for any activities. Donna grew very concerned and wondered if there was something going on that affected his performance at school. So, she reached out to Troy’s mom to express her concerns.
And that was when she discovered something wrong. For the past year, his mom had been in stage-five kidney(肾)failure. She was in pain every day and desperately needed a new kidney. But she had a rare blood type, so finding a match for a kidney transplant was virtually impossible. Her condition had been a very long and anxious journey. It had been so painful for the family, and it had definitely made an impact on Troy. And in class, he had been silently carrying the pain his mom was going through at home.
The news broke Donna’s heart. She knew that she just had to do something. She was there as a loving friend to help Troy with his studies, but she was also there for his mom. Donna researched how to become a kidney donor and discovered that she had the same rare blood type as Troy’s mom. She got tested and, surprisingly, she was a match.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Donna told the news to Troy’s family, everyone was surprised.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon the kidney transplant took place.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When Donna told the news to Troy’s family, everyone was surprised. They could hardly believe that their beloved teacher was willing to go through such a personal sacrifice for them. This being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the mother, all the family couldn’t thank Donna enough for her kindness and compassion. Troy’s mother was deeply moved by Donna’s selflessness and generosity, and at the same time, the prospect of healing brought renewed hope and joy into their lives, especially for Troy, who felt a glimmer of happiness return.
Soon the kidney transplant took place. The operation was a success, and Troy’s mom began to recover with the new kidney functioning well. As she started to get healthier and more energetic, the family’s burden was eased. Seeing his mother regain her strength, Troy felt spirits improved significantly. He became active in class once again, engaging eagerly with his peers and teachers. The change was evident in his bright eyes and enthusiastic participation. Donna’s loving support not only impacted Troy’s academic performance but also helped save his mother’s life, forever changing the course of their family’s journey.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个关爱学生的老师Donna注意到她的学生Troy最近变化很大,学习状态不好,她和家长沟通时发现,Troy的妈妈患严重的肾病,需要肾源换肾才能活下去。妈妈却是一种罕见血型,很难找到匹配的肾脏。Donna了解了相关知识,去做了配型检测,竟然配型成功了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当Donna把这个消息告诉Troy的家人时,每个人都很惊讶。”可知,第一段可描写Troy一家人得知老师去做了配型检测并配型成功时的惊喜与感激。
②由第二段首句内容“很快,肾脏移植手术就进行了。”可知,第二段可描写手术结果很成功,Troy恢复了活泼积极的学习状态。
2.续写线索:惊喜——感恩——手术成功——恢复健康——Troy变得开朗——感恩老师的无私与爱
3.词汇激活
行为类
①开始:begin/start
②缓解,减轻:ease/relieve
③起作用,发挥功能:function/work

【点睛】[高分句型1]. They could hardly believe that their beloved teacher was willing to go through such a personal sacrifice for them. (由连接词that引导的宾语从句作believe的宾语)
[高分句型2]. This being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the mother, all the family couldn’t thank Donna enough for her kindness and compassion.(运用了独立主格结构作状语)
[高分句型3]. He became active in class once again, engaging eagerly with his peers and teachers.(运用了现在分词短语作状语)
