Inspired by the popular online game Wordle, it is a pretty interesting book for anyone who loves word games, whether you’re going to play on your own or challenge friends and family to see who can solve the puzzle first.(这本益智书非常适合我们放在你的口袋或背包里长途旅行。受流行的在线游戏Wordle的启发，这本书对任何喜欢文字游戏的人来说都是一本非常有趣的书，无论你是要自己玩，还是挑战朋友和家人，看看谁能先解决这个谜题。)”可知，这本益智书受流行的在线游戏Wordle的启发而编写，但不是抄袭，故排除选项B；且这本书包含了140多个谜题，而不是140个，故排除选项C；无论你是要自己玩，还是挑战朋友和家人都可以，故选项D正确；选项A并未提及。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二个黑标题The Ordnance Survey Kids’ Adventure Book下的段落“It teaches you how to read a map like an expert. Then, put your new-found navigation skills to the test with a host of map-reading puzzles that will keep you entertained for hours.(它教你如何像专家一样阅读地图。然后，用一系列能让你娱乐数小时的地图阅读谜题来测试你新发现的导航技能。)”可知，孩子们能从第二本书中学到怎样使用地图。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三个黑标题What Can I Do?: Inspiring Activities for Creative Kids下的段落“Design your own museum, draw a self-portrait (自画像) or create a board game.

After silencing it, I remained in bed. My motivation to push ahead with my PhD was disappearing, which made it hard to face each new day. Continuing would risk a total breakdown. With anxiety, I decided to cease my PhD temporarily and take a 9-month position at a health care charity. Back when I looked for PhD positions, I was unclear what I wanted to study. For me, the degree mostly served as a means to an end, securing more interesting and higher-paid positions in the private sector than my master’s degree would unlock. So I wasn’t picky and reasoned a variety of projects that would provide the training and degree I wanted. In hindsight (事后想来), I should have been more selective. I ended up working on a project I was technically capable of completing but over time felt full of disappointment. The purely academic research was intellectually interesting, yet I struggled to see how it would make an impact on the wider real world. Some unexpected things amplified my trouble. I started my program in 2020, when meetings were virtual and in-person contact was actively discouraged, so I had few opportunities to form personal connections with co-workers. Research became my only focus, and when my interest in that faded, my project felt depressing. After only 1 month at the charity, it became clear that I’d made the right decision. My mental health improved and I found it easier to come into work. Things I did could matter and energize me after all —if I chose wisely. That was exactly what I needed and desired. After that realization, I decided I wanted to return to my PhD program and make changes. I told my teacher I wasn’t interested in the current research. To my relief, he was supportive, and we redesigned the project to better fit me. I will return to my program next month, optimistic that this time will be different. But if it doesn’t go as I hope, my charity experience has given me direction and confidence that I’ll live a satisfying life, with or without a PhD. 4. What did the author view the PhD degree as at first? A. A struggle for new days. B. A breakthrough in his study. C. A way of getting a better job. D. A chance to build connections. 5. Why did the author become disappointed at his project? A. It was of slight practical use. B. It failed to meet his social need. C. It showed an unpromising future. D. It had a high degree of difficulty. 6. What does the underlined word “amplified”in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reflected. B. Caused. C. Solved. D. Increased. 7. How did the charity work affect the author? A. It inspired him to face challenges. B. It helped him find a purpose in life. C. It fueled his enthusiasm for his program. D. It enabled him to make the right decision. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在攻读博士的时候并不清楚自己想学什么，没有了攻读博士学位的动力，作者对此感到很焦虑，于是作者决定暂时放弃博士学位，选择了一家医疗慈善机构工作9个月。之后作者意识到做出明智的选择会激励作者一直努力，所以作者决定回到学校并做出改变，重新设计了适合自己的研究项目，从而找到了人生的目标。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For me, the degree mostly served as a means to an end, securing more interesting and higher-paid positions in the private sector than my master’s degree would unlock. (对我来说，这个学位主要是达到目的的一种手段，与硕士学位相比，我可以在私营部门找到更有趣、薪水更高的职位。)”可知，作者最初认为博士学位是一个找到更好职位的途径。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The purely academic research was intellectually interesting, yet I struggled to see how it would make an impact on the wider real world. (纯粹的学术研究在智力上很有趣，但我很难看出它将如何对更广泛的现实世界产生影响。)”可知，作者对他的项目感到失望是因为它没有什么实用价值。故选A。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“The purely academic research was intellectually interesting, yet I struggled to see how it would make an impact on the wider real world. (纯粹的学术研究在智力上很有趣，但我很难看出它将如何对更广泛的现实世界产生影响。)”以及第三段前两句“Some unexpected things amplified my trouble. I started my program in 2020, when meetings were virtual and in-person contact was actively discouraged, so I had few opportunities to form personal connections with co-workers. (一些意想不到的事情amplified了我的烦恼。我在2020年开始了我的项目，当时会议是虚拟的，面对面的接触是不被鼓励的，所以我几乎没有机会与同事建立私人关系。)”可知，作者对他的学术研究感到失望，而2020年的项目因接触不到人让作者更加苦恼，由此可推知，这些意想不到的事情增加了作者的烦恼，故划线词意为“增加”，与D项Increased.(增加)意思一样。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After only 1 month at the charity, it became clear that I’d made the right decision. My mental health improved and I found it easier to come into work. Things 1 did could matter and energize me after all — if I chose wisely. That was exactly what I needed and desired. After that realization, I decided I wanted to return to my Ph. D. program and make changes. (在慈善机构工作了一个月后，我发现我的决定是正确的。我的心理健康得到了改善，工作起来也更容易了。如果我做出明智的选择，我所做的事情终究会影响并激励我。这正是我所需要和渴望的。在意识到这一点之后，我决定回到我的博士项目并做出改变。)”可知，在慈善机构工作的经历让作者意识到做出明智的选择会激励他一直努力，所以他决定回到博士项目并做出改变，进而找到人生目标，由此可推知，慈善工作帮助作者找到了人生的目标。故选B。 C I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it. To my friend A, All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going. We are used to hearing about how motherhood limits your life, less so about how it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becoming a mother—and giving birth—has enhanced my feelings of solidarity with other women. Parenting has also allowed me to experience childhood again. I have always wanted to give someone else a childhood. My wide-eyed little boy is at the stage where he is simply in love with the world, and that love is thrillingly unconditional. It is a privilege to witness, and it makes me determined to maintain it for him as much as I am able to, because his laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard. A note about sleep: you will be OK-you’ve had enough wild nights to know you can cope. And you can get your body back, whatever that might mean to you. As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to. 8. Who might be the intended audience for this article? A. Self-centered parents. B. Those fearing to have a baby. C. Broken-hearted friends. D. Those avoiding marriage. 9. How does the author mainly make his arguments convincing? A. By explaining ideas. B. By quoting sayings. C. By comparing facts. D. By concluding opinions. 10. Why does the writer give examples of her writing in the last paragraph? A. To show how successful she was as a writer. B. To note that where there is a will there is a way. C. To tell her friend that giving birth is a piece of cake. D. To persuade her friend not to worry about her career. 11. Which column may the article be chosen from? A. Opinion. B. Headline. C. Health. D. Culture. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者主要阐述了生孩子的好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it.(我想给自己设定一个写作挑战，列举一些关于生孩子的积极的事情。这是写给一个人的，但我希望那些发现自己处于类似十字路口的人能从中得到帮助。)”可知，作者想写一些关于生孩子的积极的事情，故作者写信有助于劝慰那些害怕生孩子的人。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going.(你听过的关于为人父母的事都是负面的。我没有这种感觉。你在孩子身上创造了新生活，有了孩子，你也有了新生活。当我成为一名母亲时，我母亲的拥抱，我父亲的拥抱，更不用说我的大家庭的拥抱，让我坚持下去。)”可知，作者解释了自己的想法。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to.(至于你的事业，担心是正常的。我只代表我自己说，我希望事先花更少的时间担心我将如何写作。现在我的时间少多了，但我还在写。即使一天一段，最终也能写成一部小说。有那么多未开发的快乐和爱在等着你，我希望我已经让你瞥见了其中的一些，让你紧紧抓住。)”可知，作者在最后一段中举例说明她的写作，是为了说服她的朋友孩子不会影响她的事业，不必担心。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it.(我想给自己设定一个写作挑战，列举一些关于生孩子的积极的事情。这是写给一个人的，但我希望那些发现自己处于类似十字路口的人能从中得到帮助。)”可知，本文陈述了作者自己的观点，由此可推知，这篇文章选择观点栏目。故选A。 D When you ask people to judge others by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency. Slow talkers producing loads of ums and pauses (停顿) are generally perceived as less charming. But science tells us there may be even more to disfluency. Disfluencies do not occur in arbitrary positions in sentences. Ums typically occur right before more difficult or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items on the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?” This is exactly what we demonstrated through controlled eye-tracking studies in our lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncommon word is most likely to follow. Such predictions, though, reflect more than just simple association between disfluencies and difficult words; listeners are actively considering from the speaker’s point of view. For example, when hearing a non-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick foreign accent, listeners don’t show a preference for looking at low-frequency objects. This is probably because listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention. In another experiment, listeners were presented with an uncommon speaker who produced disfluencies before simple words and never before difficult words. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: looking at uncommon objects. However, as more time went by, they gained experience with this uncommon distribution of disfluencies. Listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at simple objects when hearing the speaker say um. These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal. 12. Which statement does the example in paragraph 2 support? A. Pauses usually follow uncommon words. B. Slow talkers tend to pause more. C. Fluent speakers are unlikely to pause. D. Active listeners only guess difficult words. 13. What does the author say about the non-native speakers? A. They can be understood easily. B. They actively put themselves in others’ shoes C. Their vocabularies are limited. D. Their disfluencies are a little less predictive. 14. What does the experiment in paragraph 4 show? A. Simple things are difficult in some cases. B. Listeners can adjust predictions accordingly. C. Distribution of disfluencies is changeable. D. Disfluencies in communication can be avoided. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. Pauses Coexist with Hesitation B. Human Brains Have the Power to Predict C. Active Listeners Simplify Talks D. Disfluency Says More than You Think 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了听者不喜欢不流畅的表达，说话迟缓且话中有大量的“嗯”和停顿的人通常被认为不那么有魅力。但科学研究发现不流畅表达传达的信息比人们认为的要多。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ums typically occur right before more difficult or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items on the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?”(“嗯”通常出现在更难或低频的单词之前。想象一下，你和一个朋友在餐馆吃饭，桌子上有三样东西：一把刀、一个玻璃杯和一个醒酒器。你的朋友转向你说：“你能把…嗯…递给我吗？”你认为他们想要什么？由于他们不太可能在刀和玻璃等常用词面前犹豫，所以你很可能会拿起醒酒器问：“你是说这个？”)”可知，“嗯”（不流畅表达中的一种）一般出现在更难或低频的词汇前，本段的例子旨在证明不流畅表达在句子中出现的位置不是随意的，而是有规律可循的。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This is probably because listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention.(这可能是因为听众认为，非母语人士可能很难想出英语单词来表示一个常见的物体，比如一把刀，也很难想出不寻常的物体，而且无法猜测他们的意图)” 可知，作者认为非母语者的不流畅之处很难预测到。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, as more time went by, they gained experience with this uncommon distribution of disfluencies. Listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at simple objects when hearing the speaker say um.(然而，随着时间的推移，他们获得了这种不常见的不流畅分布的经验。听众开始表现出相反的预测行为：当听到说话者说“嗯”时，他们倾向于看简单的物体)”可知，第四段中的实验显示的是听众可以相应地调整预测。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But science tells us there may be even more to disfluency.(但科学告诉我们，不流畅表达传达的信息可能更多)”、最后一段“These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal.(这些发现进一步证明了人类大脑是一台预测机器：我们不断尝试预测接下来会发生什么，尽管并非所有的不流畅都是相同的)”以及文章内容可知，本段主要介绍了听者不喜欢不流畅的表达，说话迟缓且话中有大量的“嗯”和停顿的人通常被认为不那么有魅力。但科学研究发现不流畅传达的信息比人们认为的要多，所以“不流畅传达的信息比人们认为的要多”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other. ____16____ The problems, however, become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution. This can cause anxiety and stress. However, all you need to do is remain calm and use a new, different method. Here are some easy ways to solve problems. Acknowledge that there is a problem. Many people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem. They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own, so they fail to seek timely help. This does not help the situation in any way. ____17____ Keep a journal. Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind. ____18____ Sometimes, just by writing down issues, you might get to see that a problem isn’t as big as you are thinking. ____19____ Often, to solve a problem, you need to test your limits. You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself. If you continue thinking of the problem as a threat and view yourself as a failure or a weak person, you will not be able to deal with the problem. Nevertheless, if you can see some benefits coming out of the problem, you will be in a better position to accept the challenge and learn something new. Seek help. ____20____ If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention, seek help from friends, colleagues, family or even professionals. A. Challenge yourself. B. Set achievable goals. C. Instead, it can make the problem bigger than before. D. So write down all the problems you are facing right now. E. Sometimes, certain problems can’t be solved on your own. F. So try to come up with at least 10 different solutions to a problem. G. Many problems can be solved by using methods we might have used before. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一些解决问题的简单方法。 【16题详解】 空格前说“Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other.(每个人都会在某个时间点面临问题)”，空格后说“The problems, however, become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution.(然而，当过去的策略不起作用、没有明显的解决方案时，问题就会变得不同)”，因此空格处应说到人们可能会用过去的一些方法去解决问题，G选项“Many problems can be solved by using methods we might have used before.(许多问题可以用我们以前可能用过的方法来解决)”说明了人们会用过去的一些方法去解决问题，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 空处位于段末应承接上文。空格前说“They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own, so they fail to seek timely help. This does not help the situation in any way.(他们继续认为一切都会自行消失，所以他们没有及时寻求帮助。这对形势没有任何帮助)”，空格处将继续评论这种做法，C选项“Instead, it can make the problem bigger than before.(相反，它会使问题变得比以前更大)”对这种做法继续进行评论，因此C选项承接上文，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 空格前说“Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind.(每天写日记是解决可能影响你内心平静的深层次问题的最好方法)”，空格后说“Sometimes, just by writing down issues, you might get to see that a problem isn’t as big as you are thinking.(有时候，仅仅通过写下问题，你可能会发现问题并不像你想的那么大)”，因此空格处也应讲“写”方面的事情，D选项“So write down all the problems you are facing right now.(所以写下你现在面临的所有问题)”讲的是写下问题，和空格前后内容相呼应，因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 空格处是本段的主题句，由空格后的“Often, to solve a problem, you need to test your limits. You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself.(通常，为了解决一个问题，你需要测试你的极限。你可能需要接受一些挑战，包括学习一些新的东西来提高自己)”可知，本段主要讲的是要挑战自己，A选项“Challenge yourself.(挑战自己)”概括本段内容，可作为主题句，故选A。 【20题详解】 本段主题句是“Seek help.(寻求帮助)”，空格后说“If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention, seek help from friends, colleagues, family or even professionals.(如果你花了很多心思和精力还是无法解决问题，那就向朋友、同事、家人甚至专业人士寻求帮助)”，因此空格处应说有的问题是靠自己解决不了的，E选项“Sometimes, certain problems can’t be solved on your own.(有时候，有些问题不能靠你自己解决)”说明了有的问题不能自己解决，和空格前后内容相互呼应，因此E选项开启下文，符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 While most teenagers spend the summer hanging out, Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee doesn’t join.

Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance.

Anabia hesitated, but quickly they were both devoted into their works. Time flies in the blink of an eye. After handing in their works, Anabia reach out her hand. Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced. “I’m sorry. I once became jealous of your intelligence, and hoped to beat you” , Anabia apologized, sincerely. Rida hugged her delightedly and said she hoped they would be friends in the future. It seemed that who would be the winner was not so important at the moment.

My motivation to push ahead with my PhD was disappearing, which made it hard to face each new day. Continuing would risk a total breakdown. With anxiety, I decided to cease my PhD temporarily and take a 9-month position at a health care charity. Back when I looked for PhD positions, I was unclear what I wanted to study. For me, the degree mostly served as a means to an end, securing more interesting and higher-paid positions in the private sector than my master’s degree would unlock. So I wasn’t picky and reasoned a variety of projects that would provide the training and degree I wanted. In hindsight (事后想来), I should have been more selective. I ended up working on a project I was technically capable of completing but over time felt full of disappointment. The purely academic research was intellectually interesting, yet I struggled to see how it would make an impact on the wider real world. Some unexpected things amplified my trouble. I started my program in 2020, when meetings were virtual and in-person contact was actively discouraged, so I had few opportunities to form personal connections with co-workers. Research became my only focus, and when my interest in that faded, my project felt depressing. After only 1 month at the charity it became clear that I’d made the right decision. My mental health improved and I found it easier to come into work. Things I did could matter and energize me after all —if I chose wisely. That was exactly what I needed and desired. After that realization, I decided I wanted to return to my PhD program and make changes. I told my teacher I wasn’t interested in the current research. To my relief, he was supportive, and we redesigned the project to better fit me. I will return to my program next month, optimistic that this time will be different. But if it doesn’t go as I hope, my charity experience has given me direction and confidence that I’ll live a satisfying life, with or without a PhD. 4. What did the author view the PhD degree as at first? A. A struggle for new days. B. A breakthrough in his study. C. A way of getting a better job. D. A chance to build connections. 5. Why did the author become disappointed at his project? A. It was of slight practical use. B. It failed to meet his social need. C. It showed an unpromising future. D. It had a high degree of difficulty. 6. What does the underlined word “amplified”in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reflected. B. Caused. C. Solved. D. Increased. 7. How did the charity work affect the author?

C I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it. To my friend A, All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going. We are used to hearing about how motherhood limits your life, less so about how it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becoming a mother—and giving birth—has enhanced my feelings of solidarity with other women. Parenting has also allowed me to experience childhood again. I have always wanted to give someone else a childhood. My wide-eyed little boy is at the stage where he is simply in love with the world, and that love is thrillingly unconditional. It is a privilege to witness, and it makes me determined to maintain it for him as much as I am able to, because his laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard. A note about sleep: you will be OK-you’ve had enough wild nights to know you can cope. And you can get your body back, whatever that might mean to you. As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to. 8. Who might be the intended audience for this article? A. Self-centered parents. B. Those fearing to have a baby. C. Broken-hearted friends. D Those avoiding marriage. 9. How does the author mainly make his arguments convincing? A. By explaining ideas. B. By quoting sayings. C. By comparing facts. D. By concluding opinions. 10. Why does the writer give examples of her writing in the last paragraph? A. To show how successful she was as a writer. B. To note that where there is a will there is a way. C To tell her friend that giving birth is a piece of cake. D. To persuade her friend not to worry about her career. 11. Which column may the article be chosen from? A. Opinion. B. Headline. C. Health. D. Culture. D When you ask people to judge others by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency. Slow talkers producing loads of ums and pauses (停顿) are generally perceived as less charming. But science tells us there may be even more to disfluency. Disfluencies do not occur in arbitrary positions in sentences. Ums typically occur right before more difficult or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items on the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?” This is exactly what we demonstrated through controlled eye-tracking studies in our lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncommon word is most likely to follow. Such predictions, though, reflect more than just simple association between disfluencies and difficult words; listeners are actively considering from the speaker’s point of view. For example, when hearing a non-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick foreign accent, listeners don’t show a preference for looking at low-frequency objects. This is probably because listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention. In another experiment listeners were presented with an uncommon speaker who produced disfluencies before simple words and never before difficult words. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: looking at uncommon objects. However, as more time went by, they gained experience with this uncommon distribution of disfluencies. Listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at simple objects when hearing the speaker say um. These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal. 12. Which statement does the example in paragraph 2 support? A. Pauses usually follow uncommon words. B. Slow talkers tend to pause more. C. Fluent speakers are unlikely to pause. D. Active listeners only guess difficult words. 13. What does the author say about the non-native speakers? A. They can be understood easily. B. They actively put themselves in others’ shoes C. Their vocabularies are limited. D. Their disfluencies are a little less predictive. 14. What does the experiment in paragraph 4 show? A. Simple things are difficult in some cases. B. Listeners can adjust predictions accordingly. C. Distribution of disfluencies is changeable. D. Disfluencies in communication can be avoided. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. Pauses Coexist with Hesitation B. Human Brains Have the Power to Predict C. Active Listeners Simplify Talks D.

Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anabia’ s eyes filled with tears. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5BCCBA 6-10ACBBA 11-15BACAC 16-20ABACC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
