That means about four students in a classroom of twenty have the problem. Christine Alm, who has the virtue of being ready to help others, is the co-founder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia. According to Alm, each diagnosis (诊断) is unique. That can make it difficult to understand a child’s learning needs. Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia. The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability. Dyslexia means a person has trouble processing written words due to the difficulty of identifying speech sounds. Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read. But she adds that many people with dyslexia are extremely creative and smart. Whoopi Goldberg, Dav Pilkey and Steven Spielberg are among the famous Americans who have dyslexia. For Alm, the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic. She believes that it’s helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad,” she says. “So children don’t need to feel shameful and embarrassed.” Alm and the other co-founders of Dyslexia Road host community events to share resources about dyslexia. On March 2, the organization celebrated its launch with a community gathering. Many people turned up, suggesting to Alm the “power of community”. Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books. “We’re excited to get out there and start pushing forward so that people can come together and figure out how to direct this journey,” Alm says. 6. What do the co-founders of Dyslexia Road have in common? A. Their kids are unique and perfect. B. They suffer from learning disability. C. Their kids have the same problem. D. They ignore children’s learning needs. 7. What does Alm suggest doing for people with dyslexia? A. Helping them do more brain exercises. B. Making them realise they lack creativity. C. Creating special reading materials for them. D. Encouraging them to turn to their own families. 8. What does the underlined word “stigma” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Shame. B. Selection. C. Principle D. Origin. 9. What’s the purpose of hosting the three additional events? A. To find out kids with dyslexia. B. To introduce great people with dyslexia. C. To sell books about mental disability. D. To provide the professional services. 10. What can describe Christine Alm? A. Intelligent. B. Caring. C. Generous. D. Creative. 【答案】6. C 7. A 8. A 9. D 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了关于亚利桑那州凤凰城阅读障碍的现状，特别是通过介绍Christine Alm及其创立的Dyslexia Road非营利组织来展现对阅读障碍儿童的帮助和支持。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia. The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability.( Alm最近与另外三位孩子也患有阅读障碍的母亲共同创立了“Dyslexia Road”。这家非营利组织为有学习障碍的儿童提供学习资源。)”可知，Dyslexia Road的联合创始人的共同点是他们的孩子都有阅读障碍这个问题。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read.(Alm解释说，有阅读障碍的人需要更多的帮助来训练他们的大脑进行阅读。)”可知，Alm建议为阅读障碍的人提供更多的帮助，特别是针对大脑的阅读训练，即做更多的脑力训练。故选A。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“She believes that it’s helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad,” she says. “So children don’t need to feel shameful and embarrassed.”(她认为开诚布公的讨论很有帮助。她说：“阅读障碍没有好坏之分。所以孩子们不需要感到羞耻和尴尬。”)”可推测，“stigma”是指与阅读障碍相关的负面社会观念或偏见，即人们可能因为孩子有阅读障碍而感到羞耻或尴尬。因此，这里的“stigma”指的是“羞耻”或“污名”。选项A“Shame (羞耻)”；选项B“Selection (选择)”；选项C“Principle (原则)”；选项D“Origin (起源)”。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.( Dyslexia Road还将举办另外三场活动，将家庭与学习专家联系起来。嘉宾将讨论可用的教育选择，如何获得诊断评估等。此外，阅读障碍之路网站还提供书籍等资源。)”可知，Dyslexia Road举办这三场活动的目的是为了将家庭与学习专家联系起来，提供专业的服务和建议，以帮助家长和孩子更好地理解和应对阅读障碍。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Christine Alm, who has the virtue of being ready to help others, is the co-founder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia.( Christine Alm拥有随时准备帮助他人的美德，她是“Dyslexia Road”的联合创始人，也是四个患有阅读障碍的孩子的母亲。)”可知，Christine Alm作为Dyslexia Road的联合创始人，表现出了对孩子学习障碍问题的深切关心。她与其他三位有同样问题的孩子的母亲共同创立了这个组织，旨在为有阅读障碍的孩子提供支持和帮助。这种行动体现了她的关爱和同情心。故选B。 C With mounting evidence that nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒) are in our bodies, there is growing concern over their potential health impacts. Now a new study finds a relation between nanoplastics in the brain and a higher risk for Parkinson’s disease. Nanoplastics appear when the plastic packaging breaks down into small pieces. These particles can enter the blood and cross the blood-brain barrier, with European researchers reporting earlier this year that in animal experiments, it can take two hours or less for certain nanoplastics to reach the brain after being eaten. In humans, it’s long been thought that environmental factors play a role in Parkinson’s disease but specific causes are still unclear. The new study from the Duke University School of Medicine details how nanoplastics cause chemical changes in the brain that can, in turn, make Parkinson’s and related types of diseases more likely. That’s because the nanoplastics attract a protein (蛋白质) called alpha-synuclein, known to play a role in Parkinson’s and related disorders. In lab and animal studies, the plastic’s interaction with it leads to increases in the affected neurons in the brain. This interaction appears related to favorable conditions in which Parkinson’s can develop. The study authors note that Parkinson’s disease existed long before nanoplastics appeared in the environment, but they think that this “nanoplastics pollution in the human brain” may prove a new poison. Further, the Duke team led by Dr. Andrew West notes that Parkinson’s disease is among the fastest growing nervous diseases in the world, even as the amazing amount of plastic pollution builds across the planet. This is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. “The technology to monitor nanoplastics is still at the earliest possible stages and not ready yet to answer all the questions we have,” West said. “But hopefully efforts in this area will increase rapidly, as we see what these particles can do in our experiments.” 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A product advertisement. B. A science journal. C. An art magazine. D. A travel brochure. 12. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The conditions leading to Parkinson’s. B. The cause of alpha-synuclein’s appearance. C. The principle of nanoplastics’ impact on Parkinson’s. D. The difference between Parkinson’s and related disorders. 13. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Nanoplastics pollution is not the only cause leading to Parkinson’s disease. B. It takes over two hours for certain nanoplastics to reach the brain after being eaten. C. People are not concerned about the relation between nanoplastics pollution and a higher risk for Parkinson’s disease. D. It’s long been thought that nanoplastics cause chemical changes in the brain. 14. What can be inferred from West’s words in the last paragraph? A. Plastic pollution will by no means be avoided. B. Nanoplastics are impossible to deal with at present. C. Fewer people will suffer from Parkinson’s in the future. D More efforts in the study of nanoplastics will be put in. 15 What is a suitable title for the text? A. Nanoplastics can enter the brain through blood B. Nanoplastics may promote Parkinson’s disease C. Alpha-synuclein plays a role in Parkinson’s disease D Nanoplastics will do serious harm to human health 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纳米塑料微粒在人体内的存在及其可能对人体健康，特别是帕金森病风险的影响。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“With mounting evidence that nanoplastic particles(纳米塑料微粒)are in our bodies, there is growing concern over their potential health impacts. Now a new study finds a relation between nanoplastics in the brain and a higher risk for Parkinson’s disease.(随着越来越多的证据表明纳米塑料颗粒存在于我们的体内，人们越来越担心它们对健康的潜在影响。现在，一项新的研究发现，大脑中的纳米塑料与患帕金森病的高风险之间存在联系。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了纳米塑料微粒在人体内的存在及其可能对人体健康，特别是帕金森病风险的影响，这是一个科学研究的主题。文章中包含了实验观察、科学假设和专家观点，这些都是科学期刊中常见的元素。相比之下，产品广告、艺术杂志和旅行手册通常不会涉及这类科学研究的内容。因此，可以判断这篇文章最可能来源于科学期刊。故选B。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“That’s because the nanoplastics attract a protein(蛋白质)called alpha-synuclein, known to play a role in Parkinson’s and related disorders. In lab and animal studies, the plastic’s interaction with it leads to increases in the affected neurons in the brain. This interaction appears related to favorable conditions in which Parkinson’s can develop.(这是因为纳米塑料吸引了一种叫做α -突触核蛋白的蛋白质，这种蛋白质在帕金森症和相关疾病中起着重要作用。在实验室和动物实验中，塑料与它的相互作用导致大脑中受影响神经元的增加。这种相互作用似乎与帕金森病发展的有利条件有关。)”可知，该段落主要讲述了纳米塑料微粒对帕金森病影响的基本原理。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The study authors note that Parkinson’s disease existed long before nanoplastics appeared in the environment, but they think that this “nanoplastics pollution in the human brain” may prove a new poison.(该研究的作者指出，早在纳米塑料出现在环境中之前，帕金森病就已经存在了，但他们认为这种“人脑中的纳米塑料污染”可能被证明是一种新的毒药。)”可知，纳米塑料微粒只是增加了帕金森病的风险，而非唯一原因。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The technology to monitor nanoplastics is still at the earliest possible stages and not ready yet to answer all the questions we have,” West said. “But hopefully efforts in this area will increase rapidly, as we see what these particles can do in our experiments.”(West说：“监测纳米塑料的技术仍处于早期阶段，尚未准备好回答我们所面临的所有问题。“但希望这一领域的努力能迅速增加，因为我们在实验中看到了这些粒子的作用。”)”可知，West预计在未来会有更多的研究努力投入到纳米塑料的研究中，以更好地了解这些微粒的影响。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Now a new study finds a relation between nanoplastics in the brain and a higher risk for Parkinson’s disease.(现在，一项新的研究发现，大脑中的纳米塑料与患帕金森病的高风险之间存在联系。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了纳米塑料微粒在人体内的存在及其可能对人体健康，特别是帕金森病风险的影响。选项B“Nanoplastics may promote Parkinson’s disease(纳米塑料可能促进帕金森病)” 准确地概括了文章的主题，即纳米塑料微粒可能通过影响大脑中的化学物质来增加帕金森病的风险。故选B。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10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。 As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds, it can be hard to know how to respect their culture. ____16____ Know your own culture One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own. Most of us don’t realize that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else. Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange. ____17____ Learn about a different culture Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture, or you’re curious about how different people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. ____18____ The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt. ____19____ Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: ____20____. Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique. A. Respect other cultures. B. Appreciate the differences. C. Ask questions if your friends are open to it. D. In this way, you may find it hard to know your own culture. E. Otherwise, it’s hard to approach those differences with respect. F. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself. G. These will help you get an insider’s view on a different culture. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学会要如何尊重来自其他文化和人和你自己的一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds, it can be hard to know how to respect their culture.(如果你没有见过很多来自不同背景的人，你可能很难知道如何尊重他们的文化)”并结合下文对几个方法的介绍推知，空处陈述有些方法可以更多了来自不同文化的人和自己。F项“以下是了解更多关于他们和你自己的建议”符合题意，承上启下。故选F项。 【17题详解】 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange.(不要认为自己的生活方式是唯一正常的，其他人的生活方式都很奇怪)”推知，空处陈述“认为自己的生活方式是唯一正常的，其他人的生活方式都很奇怪”这种做法的后果。E项“否则，很难尊重这些差异”符合题意，表明认为别人的生活方式很奇怪的人会很难尊重这些差异。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows.(此外，你还可以读书、看电影或听广播节目)”可知，这些都是了解不同文化的方式，G项“这些将帮助你了解一个知情人士对不同文化的看法”中的these指代上文提到的 read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows，构成内容上的承接。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation(尊重来自其他文化的人的最好方式是在好奇心和欣赏之间取得平衡)”和“Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.(此外，学会如何默默地观察和欣赏使我们与众不同的差异)”可知，本段主要讲述的是要欣赏文化差异性，B项“欣赏差异”是对本段内容的概括，可以作为本段的小标题。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation:(尊重来自其他文化的人的最佳方式是在好奇心和欣赏之间取得平衡)”可知，对其他文化既要有好奇心，又要欣赏。下文“Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.(此外，学会如何默默地观察和欣赏使我们与众不同的差异)”提到了欣赏，由此推知，空处内容和“好奇心”有关。C项“如果你的朋友对此持开放态度，可以提问”符合题意，呼应上文curiosity。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节; 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, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 When I was a teenager, I was invited to a formal dance party.

That means about four students in a classroom of twenty have the problem. Christine Alm, who has the virtue of being ready to help others, is the co-founder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia. According to Alm, each diagnosis (诊断) is unique. That can make it difficult to understand a child’s learning needs. Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia. The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability. Dyslexia means a person has trouble processing written words due to the difficulty of identifying speech sounds. Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read. But she adds that many people with dyslexia are extremely creative and smart. Whoopi Goldberg, Dav Pilkey and Steven Spielberg are among the famous Americans who have dyslexia. For Alm, the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic. She believes that it’s helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad,” she says. “So children don’t need to feel shameful and embarrassed.” Alm and the other co-founders of Dyslexia Road host community events to share resources about dyslexia. On March 2, the organization celebrated its launch with a community gathering. Many people turned up, suggesting to Alm the “power of community”. Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books. “We’re excited to get out there and start pushing forward so that people can come together and figure out how to direct this journey,” Alm says. 6. What do the co-founders of Dyslexia Road have in common? A. Their kids are unique and perfect. B. They suffer from learning disability. C. Their kids have the same problem. D. They ignore children’s learning needs. 7. What does Alm suggest doing for people with dyslexia? A. Helping them do more brain exercises. B. Making them realise they lack creativity. C. Creating special reading materials for them. D. Encouraging them to turn to their own families. 8. What does the underlined word “stigma” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Shame. B. Selection. C. Principle D. Origin. 9. What’s the purpose of hosting the three additional events? A. To find out kids with dyslexia. B. To introduce great people with dyslexia. C. To sell books about mental disability. D. To provide the professional services. 10. What can describe Christine Alm? A. Intelligent. B. Caring. C. Generous. D. Creative. C With mounting evidence that nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒) are in our bodies, there is growing concern over their potential health impacts. Now a new study finds a relation between nanoplastics in the brain and a higher risk for Parkinson’s disease. Nanoplastics appear when the plastic packaging breaks down into small pieces. These particles can enter the blood and cross the blood-brain barrier, with European researchers reporting earlier this year that in animal experiments, it can take two hours or less for certain nanoplastics to reach the brain after being eaten. In humans, it’s long been thought that environmental factors play a role in Parkinson’s disease but specific causes are still unclear. The new study from the Duke University School of Medicine details how nanoplastics cause chemical changes in the brain that can, in turn, make Parkinson’s and related types of diseases more likely. That’s because the nanoplastics attract a protein (蛋白质) called alpha-synuclein, known to play a role in Parkinson’s and related disorders. In lab and animal studies, the plastic’s interaction with it leads to increases in the affected neurons in the brain. This interaction appears related to favorable conditions in which Parkinson’s can develop. The study authors note that Parkinson’s disease existed long before nanoplastics appeared in the environment, but they think that this “nanoplastics pollution in the human brain” may prove a new poison. Further, the Duke team led by Dr. Andrew West notes that Parkinson’s disease is among the fastest growing nervous diseases in the world, even as the amazing amount of plastic pollution builds across the planet. This is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. “The technology to monitor nanoplastics is still at the earliest possible stages and not ready yet to answer all the questions we have,” West said. “But hopefully efforts in this area will increase rapidly, as we see what these particles can do in our experiments.” 11.
