Alice Howland leads a busy life. She’s a famous professor of psychology at Harvard University and also in great demand as a speaker at seminars and conferences.
As the story begins, Alice has traveled to Stanford University to give a talk. She begins sharing information that she has shared a thousand times before; she needs no notes. Then suddenly, a word escapes from her. The pause seems to last forever while she struggles to find the word. Finally, she clumsily uses the word “stuff” and continues, thinking the slip is due to the jet lag as she finishes her talk.
Back home, Alice decides to go for a run. She follows a familiar route, but out of the blue (出乎意外) it isn’t familiar. She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic. Then as suddenly as her sense of direction left her, it’s back again. She rapidly walks the distance to her house.
Alice continues to experience other small mistakes now and then. But it isn’t until they become more and more frequent that she has a series of tests confirming that she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症).
As Alice’s condition worsens, she loses the ability to enjoy books and movies because she can no longer follow the plots. She doesn’t know how to spend her days. The once famous expert in linguistics (语言学), who was used to a busy schedule, suddenly has nothing really to do. She depends on her husband, John, and their three grown children, but she loses touch with everyone else.
Although life was disappearing for Alice, it was moving on for her family. Anna, one of her daughters, has twins. Alice’s husband, a successful scientist in his own field, decides to accept a position in New York City and move there leaving Alice with their children. Not long before he leaves, John takes Alice to their beach house for one last vacation. While there, Alice has a clear moment and tells John that she remembers him and that she was smart once. John assures her that she is the smartest person he has ever known, and Alice replies that she misses herself. With John gone, a nurse comes to take care of Alice, who no longer recognizes her own children. Her daughters help care for her every day.
24. What does Alice think causes her mistake when giving a talk at Stanford University?
A. The long plane trip. B. Her clumsiness.
C. Her forgetting the notes. D. The busy schedule.
25. What does Alice feel when she first gets lost in her neighborhood?
A. Embarrassed. B. Frightened.
C. Thrilled. D. Annoyed.
26. How does Alice realize she may be ill?
A. She can’t enjoy books and movies.
B. She gets lost while jogging.
C. Her husband decides to go to New York.

A recent study in the journal Current Biology found that people danced 12% more when very low frequency bass (低音) was played. Scientists wanted to see what factors of music make us want to dance. “We look at things like what kinds of rhythms make us really drawn in and want to move more,” said Daniel Cameron, a neuroscientist and the lead author of the study.
Volunteers were led into a lab that was changed into an electronic dance music concert, with live music performed for them, who were equipped with headband s that had a motion capture sensor. The lab had special speakers that could play a very low frequency bass, undetectable to the human ear. The set lasted about an hour. Researchers introduced the very low bass every 2.5 minutes and found that the concertgoers moved more when the speakers were on — even though they couldn’t hear it.
Cameron thinks that our vestibular (前庭的) system can help explain the reason. “It’s the inner-ear structures that give us a sense of where our head is in space,” he says. “That system is sensitive to low-frequency stimulation, especially if it’s loud.”
Some people hear music and can’t help but move, whether there are low, silent bass frequencies or not. So why do humans dance? “It’s hard to test this, but there has been some work on why we may have evolved this way. We know that moving together in synchrony (同步) when we’re making music together and dancing together leads to social bonding. We feel better about the people we’re with. We feel more connected with them,” Cameron says. “So you can imagine this has potential advantages for groups throughout the long history of our species.”
Evolution aside, Cameron finds value in knowing his study has uncovered just one of the ingredients for what makes us want to dance a little bit more.
28. What does Cameron’s research focus on?
A. The popularity of dancing among people. B. The evolutionary reasons why humans dance.
C. The musical elements that encourage dancing. D. The little effect of low frequency bass on dancers.
29. What can we learn about the research setup described in paragraph 2?
A. Low frequency bass was played regularly. B. Participants tracked their own movements.
C The dance music was performed in a live concert. D. The human speakers performed for an entire hour.
30. Why might humans have evolved to dance according to Cameron?
A. To inspire imagination. B. To promote communication.
C. To create work opportunities. D. To stimulate the body’s potential.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science of Dance B. The Benefit Behind Dancing
C. The Role of Rhythms in Music D. The Evolution of the Musical System
D
In 2021, a wildfire bloomed in the Sonoran Desert in southwestern Arizona. By June 7, winds had blown the wildfire east-northeast into the Pinal Mountains, in the Tonto’s southern reaches. The fire rose quickly, climbing over cliffs (悬崖) and sweeping across vast jungles. When the fire hit the tops of mountains with pine forests, it consumed them as well.
The Telegraph Fire, as it’s now called, grew very intense, creating its own wind as its heat rose, pulling air in from the edges. On the fifth day, the fire neared the city of Globe. By then, it had already destroyed a large area of Globe, making it one of the most powerful wildfires in Arizona’s history, spanning approximately 700 square kilometers of land. But the fire would not swallow Globe. Instead, on a ridge, the Telegraph Fire encountered a protective bulwark, remains of a previous great fire.
According to ecologist Kit O’Connor, the Telegraph Fire shifted from a powerful fire, which was killing roughly 60% to 70% of the trees it encountered, to a slow-moving ground fire that only killed about 1% of the trees it came across. “Ultimately, the fire stopped approximately a kilometer away from a residential area on the outskirts of Globe,” said Lata, a wildfire management expert. She notes that without the Pinal Fire, the Telegraph Fire would have likely spread into the town and that they would have no means to prevent it.
The decision to allow the Pinal Fire to burn was guided by a new approach to wildfire management called potential operational delineations (PODs). PODs categorize the landscape into zones where fires can potentially be contained. These zones are determined before the fire season begins, using a combination of AI and local expertise. A PODs network can assist land managers in identifying opportunities to exploit wildfires that light under manageable conditions. The goal is that, if subsequent fires break out under extreme conditions, there will be fewer bushes available to feed their great power.
32. What does paragraph 1 mainly describe about the wildfire?
A. Its extension. B. Its origin. C. Its duration. D. Its management.
33. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A water source. B. A defensive wall.
C. A type of vegetation. D. A fire-fighting technique.
34. What is Lata’s attitude to the Pinal Fire?
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.
35. What is the main purpose of PODs in wildfire management?
A. To predict wildfire occurrences. B. To reduce fuel for future wildfires.
C. To help land managers put out wildfires. D. To create landscapes against potential wildfires.

I adore poetry-I still remember early lessons on haikus back in my Grade Three classroom. Poetry can be amazing. Here's three ways to bring poetry into your classroom.
Combine poetry and art
Poems often use a few words to create pictures, so they're perfect to combine with art. ____36____ Students can write a poem inspired by a piece of art or create a piece of art inspired by a poem, which can be especially effective when you're looking at particular styles of art-abstract art or sculpture.
____37____ They can look at how poetry can be a part of public art or how words, color and shapes can be combined to create something beautiful.
Create poetry displays
Due to their shorter size, poems make wonderful subject for displays. There are a few ways you can display poetry in the classroom. For instance, if you write or explore poems on a particular theme, you can use that to create a display. Autumn poetry can be displayed on colorful trees made out of paper. ____38____
Students can also use a display board to create their own poetry. ____39____ They can also write lines of poetry to pin up on a board to continue a poem which is being written.
Explore poetry in song
Poetry and songs are two different forms of writing. ____40____ They both use rhyme, rhythm and highly effective word choice to make you feel something. Students can also think about how already written songs could be set to music.
Take a moment to share some poetry with your students and open up a whole world of different rhythms, rhymes and pictures made out of words.
A. This can be especially effective with songs.
B. You can start with using one to inspire another.
C. Beach poems can be written into a beach scene.

At a moment’s notice, quick thinking can save lives. Nothing illustrates this better than the story of 13-year-old hero named Dillon Reeves, who jumped into action when his school bus driver experienced a medical emergency, bringing the bus to a stop and avoiding what could have been a very tragic accident. Reeves’ parents expressed their pride at his actions.
“It’s an honor, said his dad Steve. ”I am a bus driver, too. Because of that, Reeves could probably know how to hold the steering wheel (方向盘) and step on the brakes. "
That day, Reeves came back home from school and was riding a school bus full of students in Michigan. And he sat in the fifth rows as usual.
The school bus driver has ten years of driving experience, and during these years, he has never had a driving accident. He held the steering wheel confidently, and he stepped on the brakes carefully. All the students were chatting as usual. Everything went smoothly.
A few minutes later, Reeves noticed something was off, but others didn’t feel anything wrong at the beginning.
The bus driver felt lightheaded and said on the intercom (对讲机), “I am going to pullover for a moment. Hearing that, students thought the bus would stopped in a certain parking area.
However, the bus didn’t make it to the pull-off area, and began to drift onto on coming traffic. Security camera footage showed the driver already lost consciousness. Seeing that, all the students shouted loudly and shook all over, feeling like sitting on pins and needles, but Reeves kept his head at that time and told himself he should take some actions quickly.
Noticing the danger of the situation, he knew it was time for him to do something.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, Reeves sprang from five rows back.

Alice Howland leads a busy life. She’s a famous professor of psychology at Harvard University and also in great demand as a speaker at seminars and conferences.
As the story begins, Alice has traveled to Stanford University to give a talk. She begins sharing information that she has shared a thousand times before; she needs no notes. Then suddenly, a word escapes from her. The pause seems to last forever while she struggles to find the word. Finally, she clumsily uses the word “stuff” and continues, thinking the slip is due to the jet lag as she finishes her talk.
Back home, Alice decides to go for a run. She follows a familiar route, but out of the blue (出乎意外) it isn’t familiar. She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic. Then as suddenly as her sense of direction left her, it’s back again. She rapidly walks the distance to her house.
Alice continues to experience other small mistakes now and then But it isn’t until they become more and more frequent that she has a series of tests confirming that she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症).
As Alice’s condition worsens, she loses the ability to enjoy books and movies because she can no longer follow the plots. She doesn’t know how to spend her days. The once famous expert in linguistics (语言学), who was used to a busy schedule, suddenly has nothing really to do. She depends on her husband, John, and their three grown children, but she loses touch with everyone else.

Alice’s husband, a successful scientist in his own field, decides to accept a position in New York City and move there leaving Alice with their children. Not long before he leaves, John takes Alice to their beach house for one last vacation. While there, Alice has a clear moment and tells John that she remembers him and that she was smart once. John assures her that she is the smartest person he has ever known, and Alice replies that she misses herself.

A recent study in the journal Current Biology found that people danced 12% more when very low frequency bass (低音) was played. Scientists wanted to see what factors of music make us want to dance. “We look at things like what kinds of rhythms make us really drawn in and want to move more,” said Daniel Cameron, a neuroscientist and the lead author of the study.
Volunteers were led into a lab that was changed into an electronic dance music concert, with live music performed for them, who were equipped with headband s that had a motion capture sensor. The lab had special speakers that could play a very low frequency bass, undetectable to the human ear. The set lasted about an hour. Researchers introduced the very low bass every 2.5 minutes and found that the concertgoers moved more when the speakers were on — even though they couldn’t hear it.
Cameron thinks that our vestibular (前庭的) system can help explain the reason. “It’s the inner-ear structures that give us a sense of where our head is in space,” he says. “That system is sensitive to low-frequency stimulation, especially if it’s loud.”
Some people hear music and can’t help but move, whether there are low, silent bass frequencies or not. So why do humans dance? “It’s hard to test this, but there has been some work on why we may have evolved this way. We know that moving together in synchrony (同步) when we’re making music together and dancing together leads to social bonding. We feel better about the people we’re with. We feel more connected with them,” Cameron says. “So you can imagine this has potential advantages for groups throughout the long history of our species.”
Evolution aside, Cameron finds value in knowing his study has uncovered just one of the ingredients for what makes us want to dance a little bit more.
28. What does Cameron’s research focus on?
A. The popularity of dancing among people. B. The evolutionary reasons why humans dance.
C. The musical elements that encourage dancing. D. The little effect of low frequency bass on dancers.
29. What can we learn about the research setup described in paragraph 2?
A. Low frequency bass was played regularly. B. Participants tracked their own movements.
C. The dance music was performed in a live concert. D. The human speakers performed for an entire hour.
30. Why might humans have evolved to dance according to Cameron?
A. To inspire imagination. B. To promote communication.
C. To create work opportunities. D. To stimulate the body’s potential.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science of Dance B. The Benefit Behind Dancing
C. The Role of Rhythms in Music D. The Evolution of the Musical System
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. A
【解析】

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“Scientists wanted to see what factors of music make us want to dance.(科学家们想知道是什么音乐因素让我们想跳舞)”和最后一段“Evolution aside, Cameron finds value in knowing his study has uncovered just one of the ingredients for what makes us want to dance a little bit more.(撇开进化不谈,Cameron认为,他的研究发现了让我们更想跳舞的一个因素,这一点很有价值)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于人们为什么想跳舞的研究。由此可知,A项“跳舞的科学”为最佳标题。故选A。
D
In 2021, a wildfire bloomed in the Sonoran Desert in southwestern Arizona. By June 7, winds had blown the wildfire east-northeast into the Pinal Mountains, in the Tonto’s southern reaches. The fire rose quickly, climbing over cliffs (悬崖) and sweeping across vast jungles. When the fire hit the tops of mountains with pine forests, it consumed them as well.
The Telegraph Fire, as it’s now called, grew very intense, creating its own wind as its heat rose, pulling air in from the edges. On the fifth day, the fire neared the city of Globe. By then, it had already destroyed a large area of Globe, making it one of the most powerful wildfires in Arizona’s history, spanning approximately 700 square kilometers of land. But the fire would not swallow Globe. Instead, on a ridge, the Telegraph Fire encountered a protective bulwark, remains of a previous great fire.
According to ecologist Kit O’Connor, the Telegraph Fire shifted from a powerful fire, which was killing roughly 60% to 70% of the trees it encountered, to a slow-moving ground fire that only killed about 1% of the trees it came across. “Ultimately, the fire stopped approximately a kilometer away from a residential area on the outskirts of Globe,” said Lata, a wildfire management expert. She notes that without the Pinal Fire, the Telegraph Fire would have likely spread into the town and that they would have no means to prevent it.
The decision to allow the Pinal Fire to burn was guided by a new approach to wildfire management called potential operational delineations (PODs). PODs categorize the landscape into zones where fires can potentially be contained. These zones are determined before the fire season begins, using a combination of AI and local expertise. A PODs network can assist land managers in identifying opportunities to exploit wildfires that light under manageable conditions. The goal is that, if subsequent fires break out under extreme conditions, there will be fewer bushes available to feed their great power.
32. What does paragraph 1 mainly describe about the wildfire?
A. Its extension. B. Its origin. C. Its duration. D. Its management.
33. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A water source. B. A defensive wall.
C. A type of vegetation. D. A fire-fighting technique.
34. What is Lata’s attitude to the Pinal Fire?
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.
35. What is the main purpose of PODs in wildfire management?
A. To predict wildfire occurrences. B. To reduce fuel for future wildfires.
C. To help land managers put out wildfires. D. To create landscapes against potential wildfires.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了2021年亚利桑那州索诺兰沙漠的一次野火事件,这场大火迅速蔓延,威胁到格洛布城,但最终在一处之前大火的遗迹处停止,避免了更大的破坏。这一转变得益于一种野火管理的新方法POD,这种方法利用人工智能和专业知识来规划可能控制火灾的区域,以减少极端条件下火灾的破坏力。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In 2021, a wildfire bloomed in the Sonoran Desert in southwestern Arizona. By June 7, winds had blown the wildfire east-northeast into the Pinal Mountains, in the Tonto’s southern reaches. The fire rose quickly, climbing over cliffs (悬崖) and sweeping across vast jungles. When the fire hit the tops of mountains with pine forests, it consumed them as well. (2021年,亚利桑那州西南部的索诺兰沙漠爆发了一场野火。到6月7日,大风将野火吹向东北偏东的皮纳尔山脉,位于通托的南部地区。火势迅速蔓延,越过悬崖,横扫大片丛林。当大火蔓延到松树林的山顶时,松树林也被烧毁)”可知,本段主要描述了这场野火蔓延的范围非常大。故选A项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But the fire would not swallow Globe. Instead, on a ridge, the Telegraph Fire encountered (但大火不会吞噬格洛布。相反,在山脊上,“电报”火遇到了)”和下文“remains of a previous great fire (前一场大火的遗迹)”可知,由于“电报”火遇到了前一场大火的遗迹,它的火势变小了,没有吞噬格洛布城市地区,由此推知,这一遗迹起到了“防御”的作用,划线词意思应该与A defensive wall“防御墙”相近。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““Ultimately, the fire stopped approximately a kilometer away from a residential area on the outskirts of Globe,” said Lata, a wildfire management expert. She notes that without the Pinal Fire, the Telegraph Fire would have likely spread into the town and that they would have no means to prevent it. (野火管理专家Lata说:“最终,大火在距离格洛布郊区一个居民区大约一公里的地方停止了。”她指出,如果没有皮纳尔大火,“电报”火很可能会蔓延到镇上,而他们没有办法阻止它)”可知,Lata认为皮纳尔大火帮助人们抑制了“电报”火的蔓延。由此推知,她的态度是支持肯定的。故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The goal is that, if subsequent fires break out under extreme conditions, there will be fewer bushes available to feed their great power. (这样做的目的是,如果在极端条件下发生后续火灾,可以提供巨大能量的灌木丛就会减少)”可知,野火管理中的这种方法的主要目的在于减少未来供野火燃烧的燃料。故选B项。

I adore poetry-I still remember early lessons on haikus back in my Grade Three classroom. Poetry can be amazing. Here's three ways to bring poetry into your classroom.
Combine poetry and art
Poems often use a few words to create pictures, so they're perfect to combine with art. ____36____ Students can write a poem inspired by a piece of art or create a piece of art inspired by a poem, which can be especially effective when you're looking at particular styles of art-abstract art or sculpture.
____37____ They can look at how poetry can be a part of public art or how words, color and shapes can be combined to create something beautiful.
Create poetry displays
Due to their shorter size, poems make wonderful subject for displays. There are a few ways you can display poetry in the classroom. For instance, if you write or explore poems on a particular theme, you can use that to create a display. Autumn poetry can be displayed on colorful trees made out of paper. ____38____
Students can also use a display board to create their own poetry. ____39____ They can also write lines of poetry to pin up on a board to continue a poem which is being written.
Explore poetry in song
Poetry and songs are two different forms of writing. ____40____ They both use rhyme, rhythm and highly effective word choice to make you feel something. Students can also think about how already written songs could be set to music.
Take a moment to share some poetry with your students and open up a whole world of different rhythms, rhymes and pictures made out of words.
A. This can be especially effective with songs.
B. You can start with using one to inspire another.
C. Beach poems can be written into a beach scene.
D. But it's not hard to see the similarities between them.

Next, a short play about parent-child relationship was performed, through which we got an insight into our parents’ love for us.

Nothing illustrates this better than the story of 13-year-old hero named Dillon Reeves, who jumped into action when his school bus driver experienced a medical emergency, bringing the bus to a stop and avoiding what could have been a very tragic accident. Reeves’ parents expressed their pride at his actions.

That day, Reeves came back home from school and was riding a school bus full of students in Michigan. And he sat in the fifth rows as usual.
The school bus driver has ten years of driving experience, and during these years, he has never had a driving accident. He held the steering wheel confidently, and he stepped on the brakes carefully. All the students were chatting as usual. Everything went smoothly.
A few minutes later, Reeves noticed something was off, but others didn’t feel anything wrong at the beginning.
The bus driver felt lightheaded and said on the intercom (对讲机), “I am going to pullover for a moment. Hearing that, students thought the bus would stopped in a certain parking area.
However, the bus didn’t make it to the pull-off area, and began to drift onto on coming traffic. Security camera footage showed the driver already lost consciousness. Seeing that, all the students shouted loudly and shook all over, feeling like sitting on pins and needles, but Reeves kept his head at that time and told himself he should take some actions quickly.
