B She came into my life when I was eight years old. My dad found her. She was getting lost and starving. He took one look at her, opened the door and she jumped in. Mom and Dad fed her and gave her a bath. As a girl, I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. When I got home, I was greeted with many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day. Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was deformed. It didn’t wag its tail back and forth, instead, it went in a circle. He said, “She’s squirrely.”Thus my puppy, Squirrely got her name. Squirrely was a smart dog. I taught her to play hide and seek. We would play for hours, spending our days learning and growing together. Eleven years we were together, best of friends. Arthritis (关节炎) and old age set in on her. My parents knew what had to be done, but they stood back and let me make the decision myself. She was suffering so much and the medicine didn’t help. She could barely walk. I looked into those deep brown eyes and realized it was time to let her go. I carried her into the pet doctor’s office and placed her on the table. Squirrely leaned her head forward and gave a lick to my hand, as if to say she understood. Her tail was wagging in that circle as it always did. When the pet doctor said “It’s over”, I wrapped her up in her favorite blanket, and carried her out. I buried her in the farm, where she loved playing and chasing rabbits. I know that special friend will be with me always. 4. What does the underlined word “squirrely” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Strange. B. Cute. C. Active. D. Energetic. 5. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A. The author’s parents didn’t like the puppy. B. The author wasn’t responsible when she was young. C. The author’s brother gave the puppy a name on purpose. D. The author and the puppy loved each other at first sight. 6. Why did the author realize it was time to let her pet go? A. Her dog didn’t eat anything any more. B. Her dog had serious illness and suffered. C. Her dog didn’t play hide and seek with her. D. Her parents asked her to make the decision. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show how she trained her dog. B. To explain how she got a smart dog. C To tell her deep friendship with her dog. D. To describe the final days she spent with her dog. C Spending time outdoors, especially in green spaces, is one of the fastest ways to improve your health and happiness. It can lower stress, blood pressure and heart rate. Doctors are increasingly taking these findings seriously and using them to their patients. Now, a new study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research adds to the evidence and shows just how little time it takes to get the benefits of being outside. Spending just 20 minutes in a park — even if you don’t exercise while you’re there — is enough to improve well-being, according to the research. For the study, researchers surveyed 94 adults who visited one of three urban parks over the summer and fall. They were given fitness trackers to measure physical activity but were not told what to do in the park or how long to stay. Each person also answered questions about their life satisfaction and mood — which were used to calculate a subjective well-being score, with a maximum value of 55 — before and after their park visit. The average park visit lasted 32 minutes, and 30% of people engaged in at least moderate-intensity (中等强度) physical activity while there. Well-being scores rose during the park visit in 60% of people, with an average increase of about 1.5 points (from about 37 to 39). For many people in the study, simply being in green space seemed to be enough to make a change. The medical community is increasingly viewing green space as a place for their patients to gain physical and mental health benefits. Some physicians, like Dr. Robert Zarr, are even writing prescriptions (处方) for it. By writing nature prescriptions, physicians are encouraging their patients to get outdoors and take advantage of what many view to be free medicine. 8. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Health. B. Happiness. C. Staying outdoors. D. Taking exercise. 9. What did the new study find? A. Being outside costs a lot. B. A 20-minute break in nature is beneficial. C. Exercise is enough to improve well-being. D. Spending time outdoors is the fastest way to improve happiness. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The participants were recorded subjectively. B. The participants were recorded all the year round. C. The participants had to stay in the park for at least 20 minutes. D. The participants’ mood was calculated by their answering questions. 11. What does Dr. Robert Zarr think of spending time outdoors? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. D Time speeds up when you are having fun. But it slows down, it turns out, when one looks at something worth remembering. According to a research, people’s sense of how fast time passes can be influenced by the memorability of the images in front of them. A team led by Martin Wiener, a cognitive (认知) neuroscientist at George Mason University in America, tested how visual stimuli change people’s experience of time. They showed several dozen participants images of different scenes — from empty box rooms to filled stadiums — for between 300 and 900 milliseconds. After each one the participants had to say if the time spent looking at the image was short or long. Their responses showed that, when the images featured large scenes, such as an empty warehouse, more time seemed to have passed. The opposite happened when the images were of spaces jammed with objects, such as an overfull garage. That was strange. Previous research has found that the experience of stretched time increases with size; for instance, if people are flashed images of different numbers for equal lengths of time, they think the higher numbers are shown for longer. But the jammed scenes seemed to contradict that trend. To see if something else was at play, the researchers ran another experiment using pictures that differed in memorability. Humans better remembered pictures focused on people, actions and centrally placed objects. Dr. Wiener’s team used images from a 60,000-image data set, where each image had been judged on its memorability (a man with flowers in his beard: memorable). The more memorable the image, the more it seemed to stretch time. Exactly how processing speed leads to different time perception (理解) is still unclear, but the researchers believe the connection lies in how the brain prioritises incoming information. 12. What has a great effect on people’s sense of time? A Time’s speeding up. B. Time’s slowing down. C. Incoming information. D. Memorability of the images. 13. When you look at a (n) ______, it seems more time has passed. A. filled stadium B. overfull garage C. empty warehouse D. tree in the corner 14 From which is the text probably taken? A. A research paper. B. A travel brochure. C. A health magazine. D. A biology textbook. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. How time flies with different images. B. The experience of time increases with size. C. Memorable images make time pass more slowly. D. Processing speed leads to different time perception. 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。 Ways To Increase The Quality of Your Life It is time to do something to increase the quality of your life.

My dad found her. She was getting lost and starving. He took one look at her, opened the door and she jumped in. Mom and Dad fed her and gave her a bath. As a girl, I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. When I got home, I was greeted with many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day. Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was deformed. It didn’t wag its tail back and forth, instead, it went in a circle. He said, “She’s squirrely.”Thus my puppy, Squirrely got her name. Squirrely was a smart dog. I taught her to play hide and seek. We would play for hours, spending our days learning and growing together. Eleven years we were together, best of friends. Arthritis (关节炎) and old age set in on her. My parents knew what had to be done, but they stood back and let me make the decision myself. She was suffering so much and the medicine didn’t help. She could barely walk. I looked into those deep brown eyes and realized it was time to let her go. I carried her into the pet doctor’s office and placed her on the table. Squirrely leaned her head forward and gave a lick to my hand, as if to say she understood. Her tail was wagging in that circle as it always did. When the pet doctor said “It’s over”, I wrapped her up in her favorite blanket, and carried her out. I buried her in the farm, where she loved playing and chasing rabbits. I know that special friend will be with me always. 4. What does the underlined word “squirrely” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Strange. B. Cute. C. Active. D. Energetic. 5. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A. The author’s parents didn’t like the puppy. B. The author wasn’t responsible when she was young. C.

Her dog didn’t eat anything any more. B. Her dog had serious illness and suffered. C. Her dog didn’t play hide and seek with her. D. Her parents asked her to make the decision. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show how she trained her dog. B. To explain how she got a smart dog. C. To tell her deep friendship with her dog. D. To describe the final days she spent with her dog. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述作者与一只名叫Squirrely的小狗之间的故事，展现了作者与小狗之间深厚的友谊以及最终面对小狗老去、病痛和离别的情感历程。 4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章划线单词上文“My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was deformed. It didn’t wag its tail back and forth, instead, it went in a circle.(我哥哥嘲笑她，说她的尾巴变形了。它没有前后摇尾巴，而是绕着圈走。)”可知，这只狗的尾巴不是前后摇摆，而是转着圈摇，这是不寻常的，古怪的。因此，在这个上下文中，“squirrely”最恰当的意思是“奇怪的”。选项A“Strange (奇怪的)”；选项B“Cute (可爱的)”；选项C“Active (积极的)”；选项D“Energetic (精力充沛的)”。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“When I got home, I was greeted with many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day.(当我回到家时，迎接我的是小狗的许多亲吻。一段特殊的友谊就在那天诞生了。)”可知，作者和小狗之间立即建立起了亲密的关系和喜爱之情，也就是作者和小狗从一开始就彼此喜欢。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“She was suffering so much and the medicine didn’t help. She could barely walk. I looked into those deep brown eyes and realized it was time to let her go.(她很痛苦，药也不起作用。她几乎不能走路。我看着那双深棕色的眼睛，意识到是时候让她走了。)”可知，作者看到小狗遭受了很多痛苦，药物也无法帮助，意识到该让小狗离开。因此，作者意识到是时候让她的宠物离开了是源于这只狗严重的疾病和痛苦。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，这篇文章围绕着作者与她的狗Squirrely的关系展开，从他们相遇的那一刻到因为年老和疾病而不得不做出艰难决定的那一刻。文章详细描述了他们之间的特殊友谊，他们为彼此带来的快乐，以及最后告别的情感痛苦。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了讲述自己和狗之间的深厚友谊。故选C。 C Spending time outdoors, especially in green spaces, is one of the fastest ways to improve your health and happiness.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在户外，特别是在绿色空间度过时间对健康和幸福感的积极影响。通过引用新的研究成果和具体的数据，研究表明仅仅在公园待上20分钟就能显著改善人的福祉，强调了绿色空间在提升身心健康方面的重要作用。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章划线单词上一句“Spending time outdoors, especially in green spaces, is one of the fastest ways to improve your health and happiness.(花时间在户外，特别是在绿色空间，是改善你的健康和幸福的最快方法之一)”可推测，划线单词“it”代指的上文提到的“Spending time outdoors”。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Now, a new study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research adds to the evidence and shows just how little time it takes to get the benefits of being outside. Spending just 20 minutes in a park—even if you don’t exercise while you’re there—is enough to improve well-being, according to the research.(现在，发表在《国际环境健康研究杂志》上的一项新研究进一步证明了这一点，并表明人们只需要很短的时间就能获得户外活动的好处。根据这项研究，在公园里呆上20分钟——即使你在公园里不运动——也足以改善你的幸福感)”可知，研究表明在公园里呆上20分钟足以改善你的幸福感。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For the study, researchers surveyed 94 adults who visited one of three urban parks over the summer and fall. They were given fitness trackers to measure physical activity but were not told what to do in the park or how long to stay. Each person also answered questions about their life satisfaction and mood—which were used to calculate a subjective well-being score, with a maximum value of 55—before and after their park visit.(在这项研究中，研究人员调查了94名成年人，他们在夏天和秋天参观了三个城市公园中的一个。研究人员给他们配备了健身追踪器来测量他们的身体活动，但不告诉他们在公园里做什么，也不告诉他们要待多久。每个人还回答了关于他们的生活满意度和情绪的问题，这些问题用于计算主观幸福感得分，最大值为55，在他们参观公园前后)”可知，每个参与者在访问公园前后都回答了关于生活满意度和情绪的问题，这些问题被用来计算主观幸福感得分。因此，我们可以得知参与者的情绪是通过他们回答的问题来计算的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The medical community is increasingly viewing green space as a place for their patients to gain physical and mental health benefits. Some physicians, like Dr. Robert Zarr, are even writing prescriptions (处方) for it.(医学界越来越多地将绿地视为患者获得身心健康益处的地方。一些医生，如Robert Zarr博士，甚至为它开处方)”可知，Dr. Robert Zarr支持户外活动，并认为它对患者有益，因此他会开具处方鼓励患者去户外。故选B。 D Time speeds up when you are having fun. But it slows down, it turns out, when one looks at something worth remembering. According to a research, people’s sense of how fast time passes can be influenced by the memorability of the images in front of them. A team led by Martin Wiener a cognitive (认知) neuroscientist at George Mason University in America, tested how visual stimuli change people’s experience of time. They showed several dozen participants images of different scenes — from empty box rooms to filled stadiums — for between 300 and 900 milliseconds. After each one the participants had to say if the time spent looking at the image was short or long. Their responses showed that, when the images featured large scenes, such as an empty warehouse, more time seemed to have passed. The opposite happened when the images were of spaces jammed with objects, such as an overfull garage. That was strange. Previous research has found that the experience of stretched time increases with size; for instance, if people are flashed images of different numbers for equal lengths of time, they think the higher numbers are shown for longer. But the jammed scenes seemed to contradict that trend. To see if something else was at play, the researchers ran another experiment using pictures that differed in memorability. Humans better remembered pictures focused on people, actions and centrally placed objects. Dr. Wiener’s team used images from a 60,000-image data set, where each image had been judged on its memorability (a man with flowers in his beard: memorable). The more memorable the image, the more it seemed to stretch time. Exactly how processing speed leads to different time perception (理解) is still unclear, but the researchers believe the connection lies in how the brain prioritises incoming information. 12. What has a great effect on people’s sense of time? A. Time’s speeding up. B. Time’s slowing down. C. Incoming information. D. Memorability of the images. 13. When you look at a (n) ______, it seems more time has passed. A. filled stadium B. overfull garage C. empty warehouse D. tree in the corner 14. From which is the text probably taken? A. A research paper. B. A travel brochure. C. A health magazine. D. A biology textbook. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. How time flies with different images. B. The experience of time increases with size. C. Memorable images make time pass more slowly. D. Processing speed leads to different time perception. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，研究表明人们对时间流逝速度的感觉会受到眼前图像的可记忆性的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“According to a research, people’s sense of how fast time passes can be influenced by the memorability of the images in front of them.(根据一项研究，人们对时间流逝速度的感觉会受到眼前图像的可记忆性的影响。)”可知，图像的记忆性对人们的时间感有很大的影响。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Their responses showed that, when the images featured large scenes, such as an empty warehouse, more time seemed to have passed.(他们的反应表明，当图像中出现大场景时，比如一个空仓库，时间似乎过去了更多。)”可知，当图像展示的是大场景，比如一个空的仓库时，似乎有更多的时间过去了。因此，当你看着一个空的仓库时，会感觉时间流逝得更快，即更多的时间已经过去了。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A team led by Martin Wiener, a cognitive (认知) neuroscientist at George Mason University in America, tested how visual stimuli change people’s experience of time. (美国乔治梅森大学的认知神经科学家Martin Wiener领导的研究小组测试了视觉刺激如何改变人们对时间的体验。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了关于时间感知与视觉刺激之间关系的研究，特别是强调了图像的记忆性如何影响人们对时间流逝的感知。文章引用了实验数据和结果来解释和证明这一观点，这种内容通常出现在研究论文中。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Time speeds up when you are having fun. But it slows down, it turns out, when one looks at something worth remembering.(当你玩得开心时，时间过得飞快。但事实证明，当一个人看到值得记住的东西时，时间会减慢。)”以及倒数第二段“The more memorable the image, the more it seemed to stretch time.(图像越令人难忘，它似乎越能延长时间。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究，研究表明图像越令人难忘，时间就似乎过得越慢。故选C。 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。 Ways To Increase The Quality of Your Life It is time to do something to increase the quality of your life.

He was very kind and loved helping others. He lived with his parents, but they were busy working all the time, so he often felt lonely. One day, as Sam was walking home from school, he saw a new family had moved into the house next door. They had a daughter about his age named Lily. She was disabled and used a wheelchair to get around. Sam noticed that Lily seemed sad and lonely too. The next morning, Sam decided to knock on their door and introduce himself. Lily’s mother answered the door and invited him inside. When Lily saw Sam, she smiled for the first time. Sam and Lily quickly became friends, and Sam would visit her every day after school. Sometimes, they would play board games or watch movies together. Other times, Sam would help Lily with her homework. As the years went by, Sam and Lily’s friendship grew stronger. They were always there for each other, no matter what. One summer, Sam’s parents lost their jobs and couldn’t afford to pay the rent. They were going to have to move away. Sam was upset and didn’t know what to do. When Lily heard the news, she knew she had to help her friend. 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。 She came up with a plan to save Sam’s house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, Sam and Lily promised to make the world a better place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She came up with a plan to save Sam’s house. She organized a community event, inviting everyone in town to come and support them. On the day of the event, there were games, food, and live music. Almost the whole town showed up, donating money and giving whatever they could to help Sam’s family. By the end of the day, they had raised enough money to pay off the rent for Sam’s house. Sam was overjoyed and couldn’t believe how much kindness and love there was in the world. From then on, Sam and Lily promised to make the world a better place. Not only did they start volunteering at the local animal shelter and helped take care of abandoned pets, but also they visited nursing homes and spent time with the elderly residents. Their acts of kindness inspired others in the town to do the same, and soon, the whole community was coming together to help those in need. Sam realized that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Sam和Lily之间从相识到相互帮助，再到共同为社会做出贡献的过程，展现了友情、善良和社区力量的美好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她想出了一个拯救Sam房子的计划。”以及第二段首句内容“从那以后，Sam和Lily承诺要让世界变得更美好。”可知，第一段可描写Lily倡议人们帮助Sam一家，并得到了很多人的帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，Sam和Lily承诺要让世界变得更美好。”可知，第二段可描写Sam和Lily为人们的善良所感动，决定帮助更多的人。 2.续写线索：Sam非常善良，喜欢帮助他人——他的父母总是很忙碌，Sam感到很孤独——一天，Sam发现隔壁搬来了一个新邻居，邻居家的女儿叫Lily，可是Lily只能靠轮椅行走——Sam注意到Lily的孤独和悲伤——于是，Sam开始陪伴Lily，两人成为了好朋友——一年，Sam一家因为付不起房租不得不搬走——Lily得知消息后，不知道该怎么做——后来，Lily想到了一个好方法，她倡议社区的人们帮助Sam一家——出乎意料的是，人们都慷慨解囊，帮助了Sam一家——得到帮助的Sam大为感动，决定和Lily一起帮助更多的人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：show up/appear ②照顾：take care of/look after ③拜访：visit/pay a visit to 情绪类 ①欣喜若狂的：overjoyed/ecstatic ②好意：kindness/good graces 【点睛】【高分句型1】Almost the whole town showed up, donating money and giving whatever they could to help Sam’s family.（运用了whatever引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Sam was overjoyed and couldn’t believe how much kindness and love there was in the world.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
