B Birds gained the ability to fly about 150 million years ago, which was a major event in animal history. For a long time, though, scientists have not fully understood how that change happened. A new study may cast light on the answer. A team of researchers found that birds evolved (进化) to fly due to changes in the part of the brain called the cerebellum (小脑), which is responsible for motor control and physical movement. For the study, scientists from Stony Brook University in New York and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Maryland compared PET scans (层析扫描) of pigeons to dinosaur fossils (化石). Unlike an X-ray, which shows the body’s structure, PET scans create images of the body at work. With the PET scans, the team tracked the brain activity of modern pigeons to see whether it was different when the birds were at rest and right after they flew for 10 minutes. They scanned eight birds and looked at 26 parts of the brain. Only the cerebellum showed significant changes in activity levels before and after flying for all the birds. These findings indicated that the ability to fly is connected to the cerebellum. To determine exactly how, the research team needed to figure out what the cerebellum looked like in creatures that were alive around the time birds began to fly. They studied a group of bird-like dinosaurs, including a winged species called Archaeopteryx, which had started to develop the brain conditions needed for flight. The researchers couldn’t look at the actual brains because those disappeared long ago. But they could look at the dinosaurs’ skulls (颅骨), which once held the brains and have been found in fossil form. The researchers studied the inside of the skulls, which showed the size and shape of the creatures’ brains. In the dinosaurs that were developing the ability to fly, the team saw a significant increase in the size of the cerebellum. They also noted signs of increased brain complexity, like folds in the brain tissue. These findings confirmed a connection between flying and changes to the cerebellum. 24. What might the new study reveal in paragraph 1? A. What transformed birds’ brains. B. How brain controls body movement. C. What made birds evolve to fly. D. How birds influenced animal history. 25. What can we conclude from the PET scans? A. The body structure of birds has evolved a lot. B. 26 parts of the brain displayed signs of change. C. Brain activity remained unchanged throughout. D. The cerebellum holds the key to birds’ flying ability. 26. How did the scientists confirm the connection? A. By unearthing more brain fossils. B. By scanning brains of Archaeopteryx. C. By studying structures of winged species. D. By comparing sizes and shapes of brains. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Bird brains came before birds B. Archaeopteryx, the first flying dinosaur C. PET scans reveal birds’ secrets D. Cerebellum, the key to animal evolution C At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 28. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 29. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 30. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 31. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. D People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between supporters of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. E. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, human beings remain unchanged unless stimulated by the environmental factors. The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain. 32. What will the supporters of the “nurture” theory agree with? A. Peter loves talking to strangers because he is friendly. B. Peter loves maths because his father is a maths professor. C. Peter loves detective stories because he enjoys suspense and thrill. D. Peter loves tea because his mother gave it to him since childhood. 33. The underlined word “mechanistic” in paragraph 4 means ________. A. flexible B. rigid C. common D. new 34. Why did the author cite the blacks in the US as an example? A. He wanted to show how the theories have deeply affected the society. B. He tried to prove that both theories need further discussion and research. C. He intended to demonstrate why the blacks need more education and support. D. He attempted to introduce the result of intelligence tests from blacks and whites. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce some theories. B. To stress genetic factors. C. To solve a racial problem. D. To give further suggestions. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___36___ ___37___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature. It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___38___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus. It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___39___ Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___40___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength. A. The only time you can make changes is right now. B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength. C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training. D Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength. E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit. F. Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength. G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项ABC和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Beverley Burdeyney turned seventy-four last year, she started having problems with her eyes, ___41___ dryness and discomfort. “I was simply ___42___ a terrible experience,” Ms. Burdeyney said at her home in Toronto. “I felt so helpless and insecure because the quality of my life was affected.” Ms. Burdeyney talked to some friends who had ___43___ problems and discovered that they were largely suffering in silence. “___44___ chooses to talk about it because it seems so insignificant,” she said. “But more and more are suffering and lives are being ___45___.” Eventually, Ms. Burdeyney learned about plans for an eye research program at Tel Aviv University in Israel.

Joan was sleeping soundly when the phone rang in the living room. She rolled over and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already nine o’clock. Every weekend morning, her mother had to work part-time in the cafe. Although Joan was still sleepy, she knew she had to get up. After all, she didn’t expect her brother Mike, who was sleeping like a log, to hear the phone. She quietly went over to the living room. When she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warmhearted greetings, “Good morning, my dear!” Recognizing the voice from her father, Joan was immediately surrounded by a sense of joy and the sleepiness swept away. Joan’s father was a seaman, who rarely came back. Working on the sea was really hard. Born in a not-rich family, Joan and Mike felt the stress of life but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. “Good morning, Dad, what’s up?” Joan said in an easy tone. “I have been very nice recently, my baby. Today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered her a cake online and it should come to the house in one and half an hour. Do remember to take the cake.” Hearing her father’s words, Joan felt a little ashamed. How she could forget Mum’s birthday! She took a glance at the dirty clothes piled on the sofa and the oily floor that hadn’t been mopped (拖地) for a few days—There were two hours before her mother came back. She calculated they had enough time to prepare a surprise for Mum. Thinking of this she felt full of excitement. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Mike up. We will give Mum a surprise!” Joan hung up the phone with Dad, and hurriedly went to Mike’s room to share with him her Big Cleaning plan. After listening to Joan, Mike readily accepted her idea. The Big Cleaning plan began. Joan collected the clothes from sofa and then put them in the water of a basin. After pouring in some washing liquids, she began to wash them by hand. Realizing the clothes were clean enough, Joan gently squeezed water out and hung them to dry. Meanwhile, Mike was busy mopping the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what hard work his Mum had at home! They had just finished the cleaning when the express boy came to the door. 注意： 续写字数为100字左右，请按如下格式作答。 With the cake placed on the table, Mum came in. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。right?

For a long time, though, scientists have not fully understood how that change happened. A new study may cast light on the answer. A team of researchers found that birds evolved (进化) to fly due to changes in the part of the brain called the cerebellum (小脑), which is responsible for motor control and physical movement. For the study, scientists from Stony Brook University in New York and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Maryland compared PET scans (层析扫描) of pigeons to dinosaur fossils (化石). Unlike an X-ray, which shows the body’s structure, PET scans create images of the body at work. With the PET scans, the team tracked the brain activity of modern pigeons to see whether it was different when the birds were at rest and right after they flew for 10 minutes. They scanned eight birds and looked at 26 parts of the brain. Only the cerebellum showed significant changes in activity levels before and after flying for all the birds. These findings indicated that the ability to fly is connected to the cerebellum. To determine exactly how, the research team needed to figure out what the cerebellum looked like in creatures that were alive around the time birds began to fly. They studied a group of bird-like dinosaurs, including a winged species called Archaeopteryx, which had started to develop the brain conditions needed for flight. The researchers couldn’t look at the actual brains because those disappeared long ago. But they could look at the dinosaurs’ skulls (颅骨), which once held the brains and have been found in fossil form. The researchers studied the inside of the skulls, which showed the size and shape of the creatures’ brains. In the dinosaurs that were developing the ability to fly, the team saw a significant increase in the size of the cerebellum. They also noted signs of increased brain complexity, like folds in the brain tissue. These findings confirmed a connection between flying and changes to the cerebellum. 24. What might the new study reveal in paragraph 1? A. What transformed birds’ brains. B. How brain controls body movement. C. What made birds evolve to fly. D. How birds influenced animal history. 25. What can we conclude from the PET scans? A. The body structure of birds has evolved a lot. B. 26 parts of the brain displayed signs of change. C. Brain activity remained unchanged throughout. D. The cerebellum holds the key to birds’ flying ability. 26. How did the scientists confirm the connection? A. By unearthing more brain fossils. B. By scanning brains of Archaeopteryx. C. By studying structures of winged species. D. By comparing sizes and shapes of brains. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Bird brains came before birds B. Archaeopteryx, the first flying dinosaur C. PET scans reveal birds’ secrets D. Cerebellum, the key to animal evolution 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过PET扫描的方式对现代鸟类的大脑和远古鸟类、类鸟类恐龙的颅骨化石，从而最终确定鸟类进化学会飞行技能的关键点在于小脑的变化。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A team of researchers found that birds evolved to fly due to changes in the part of the brain called the cerebellum, which is responsible for motor control and physical movement. (一组研究人员发现，鸟类之所以会飞，是因为大脑中负责运动控制和身体运动的小脑发生了变化)”可知，鸟类进化出飞行能力是由其小脑演变决定。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。从第二段“Only the cerebellum showed significant changes in activity levels before and after flying for all the birds. (在所有的鸟类中，只有小脑在飞行前后的活动水平有显著的变化)”可知，通过PET扫描现代鸟类在飞行时和静止时状态，科学家发现鸟类的小脑在两种状态下呈现出明显的反差与变化。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“To determine exactly how, the research team needed to figure out what the cerebellum looked like in creatures that were alive around the time birds began to fly. (为了确定确切的机制，研究小组需要弄清楚在鸟类开始飞行的时候活着的生物的小脑是什么样子的)”以及第四段“The researchers studied the inside of the skulls, which showed the size and shape of the creatures’ brains. (研究人员研究了头骨的内部，显示了这些生物大脑的大小和形状)” 可知，科学家通过PET扫描比对现代鸟类和远古鸟类、类鸟类恐龙颅骨化石，其重点在于比对大脑的形状和容量大小。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A team of researchers found that birds evolved (进化) to fly due to changes in the part of the brain called the cerebellum, which is responsible for motor control and physical movement. (一组研究人员发现，鸟类之所以会飞，是因为大脑中负责运动控制和身体运动的小脑发生了变化)”以及最后一段“These findings confirmed a connection between flying and changes to the cerebellum. (这些发现证实了飞行和小脑变化之间的联系)”以及全文内容可知，先有bird brain(小脑的演变)，后有birds(鸟类的飞行能力)。所以选项A适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 28. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 29. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 30. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 31. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者学习中国书法的经历和感悟，包括初次接触书法时的情景，名字的由来，在美国放弃中文名，回到香港学习书法的原因，老师对自己的评价，以及通过书法对自身的思考和认识等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔，所以他们请算命先生给我取名字，希望能给我带来最大的好运。于是，我给自己取了一个毫无意义又尴尬的名字：陈薏温，意思大致是“陈旧”、“薏米”、“温暖”)”可知， 作者认为自己的名字“Chen Yi wen”是无意义且令人尴尬的，虽然父母是为了追求最大的运气才取这个名字，但她还是不喜欢。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.(当我在美国生活了14年后，于2021年搬到香港时，我决定学习书法。为什么不跟我的传统联系一下呢？我想)”可知，作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可推知，从老师的话中，作者了解到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可知，作者最初学习书法是为了 “接触文化遗产（get back in touch with my heritage）”，但过程中逐渐意识到 “what I was really seeking was a return to myself（我真正寻求的是回归自我）”，最终感悟到 “the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully（书法带来的乐趣让我更全面地了解自己）”。老师最后评价她的字 “this word is yours（这个字是你的）”，暗指 “字如其人”，作者通过书法探索自我、发现内在的价值与美好。故选B。 D People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between supporters of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. E. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, human beings remain unchanged unless stimulated by the environmental factors. The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain. 32. What will the supporters of the “nurture” theory agree with? A. Peter loves talking to strangers because he is friendly. B. Peter loves maths because his father is a maths professor. C. Peter loves detective stories because he enjoys suspense and thrill. D. Peter loves tea because his mother gave it to him since childhood. 33. The underlined word “mechanistic” in paragraph 4 means ________. A. flexible B. rigid C. common D. new 34. Why did the author cite the blacks in the US as an example? A. He wanted to show how the theories have deeply affected the society. B. He tried to prove that both theories need further discussion and research. C. He intended to demonstrate why the blacks need more education and support. D. He attempted to introduce the result of intelligence tests from blacks and whites. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce some theories. B. To stress genetic factors. C. To solve a racial problem. D. To give further suggestions. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了人性格与行为模式是如何形成的，以及是什么决定了每个人的性格行为与他人不同。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. (“后天培养”理论的支持者，或者他们通常被称为行为主义者，声称我们的环境比我们基于生物学的本能更重要，决定我们将如何行动。)”可知，Peter爱茶是因为他母亲从小就给他茶，这是环境因素的影响，符合“后天培养”理论支持者的观点，即环境在塑造行为方面起着更重要的作用。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, human beings remain unchanged unless stimulated by the environmental factors.(行为主义者对人类的看法是相当……；他们认为，就像机器一样，除非受到环境因素的刺激，否则人类不会改变。)”可知，人类像机器一样，除非受到环境因素的刺激否则保持不变，意味着这种观点是僵化的、刻板的。划线单词mechanistic意思为“机械论的；僵化的”，故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests.(这两种理论的社会和政治影响是深远的。例如，在美国，黑人在标准化智力测试中的得分往往低于白人。)”可知，作者提到美国黑人在标准化智力测试中得分低于白人的例子，是为了说明这两种理论的社会和政治影响是深远的。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.(目前还没有明确的答案，但关于这个问题已经形成了两种截然不同的思想流派。)”可知，作者的目的是介绍关于人的个性和行为形成的两种不同的理论，即“天性”理论和“后天培养”理论，并阐述了它们的观点和影响。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___36___ ___37___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature. It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___38___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus. It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___39___ Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___40___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength. A. The only time you can make changes is right now. B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength. C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training. D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength. E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit. F. Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength. G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. A 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何增强自己的精神力量。 【36题详解】 根据空前的“Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively.(增强精神力量与增强体力类似。每天只需几分钟，你就可以训练你的大脑以不同的方式思考，管理你的情绪，并表现得富有成效。)”可知，第一段总体是在讨论提高精神力量，空处为最后一句，应该总结本段并引出下段，后面都在讲提高精神力量的方法，因此B选项“With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.(有规律的练习可以增强你的精神力量。)”说明练习可以增强精神力量，引出下一段的方法，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。 【37题详解】 空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.(想想你生命中感恩的三件事。它可以像你喝的干净的水一样简单。写一本感恩日记，在晚餐时列出你感激的事情，或者养成在睡觉前找到你感激的事情的习惯。久而久之，感恩就成了你的第二天性。)”可知，本段主题为通过把感恩变成一种习惯来改变思维方式，E选项“You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.(你可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑。)”说明可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑，概括了本段内容，可作为主题句。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据空前句“It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow.(当你想到上周发生的事情或明天会发生的可怕的事情时，你不可能保持坚强。)”以及空后句“It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present.(因此，能够专注于当下是非常重要的。)”可知，这里在说明当下的重要性，唯一可以做出改变的时刻只有当下，A选项“The only time you can make changes is right now.(你唯一能做出改变的时间就是现在。)”说明现在就要做出改变，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】 根据空处前一句“So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better.(所以当你难过的时候，把你的肩膀向后仰，微笑，你会感觉好一些。)”可知，要主动地寻求改变才会让自己感觉更好，G选项“Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.(永远记住，自信的感觉不会凭空而来。)”说明自信的感觉不会凭空出现（需要自己做出改变），因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据空处后一句“Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.(自怨自艾，第一次失败就放弃，这些坏习惯会阻碍你建立自己的精神力量。)”可知，需要关注那些使你失去精神力量的坏习惯，F选项“Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.(注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯。)”说明了要注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项ABC和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Beverley Burdeyney turned seventy-four last year, she started having problems with her eyes, ___41___ dryness and discomfort. “I was simply ___42___ a terrible experience,” Ms. Burdeyney said at her home in Toronto. “I felt so helpless and insecure because the quality of my life was affected.” Ms. Burdeyney talked to some friends who had ___43___ problems and discovered that they were largely suffering in silence. “___44___ chooses to talk about it because it seems so insignificant,” she said. “But more and more are suffering and lives are being ___45___.” Eventually, Ms. Burdeyney learned about plans for an eye research program at Tel Aviv University in Israel.

She rolled over and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already nine o’clock. Every weekend morning, her mother had to work part-time in the cafe. Although Joan was still sleepy, she knew she had to get up. After all, she didn’t expect her brother Mike, who was sleeping like a log, to hear the phone. She quietly went over to the living room. When she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warmhearted greetings, “Good morning, my dear!” Recognizing the voice from her father, Joan was immediately surrounded by a sense of joy and the sleepiness swept away. Joan’s father was a seaman, who rarely came back. Working on the sea was really hard. Born in a not-rich family, Joan and Mike felt the stress of life but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. “Good morning, Dad, what’s up?” Joan said in an easy tone. “I have been very nice recently, my baby. Today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered her a cake online and it should come to the house in one and half an hour. Do remember to take the cake.” Hearing her father’s words, Joan felt a little ashamed. How she could forget Mum’s birthday! She took a glance at the dirty clothes piled on the sofa and the oily floor that hadn’t been mopped (拖地) for a few days—There were two hours before her mother came back. She calculated they had enough time to prepare a surprise for Mum. Thinking of this, she felt full of excitement. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Mike up. We will give Mum a surprise!” Joan hung up the phone with Dad, and hurriedly went to Mike’s room to share with him her Big Cleaning plan. After listening to Joan, Mike readily accepted her idea. The Big Cleaning plan began. Joan collected the clothes from sofa and then put them in the water of a basin. After pouring in some washing liquids, she began to wash them by hand. Realizing the clothes were clean enough, Joan gently squeezed water out and hung them to dry. Meanwhile, Mike was busy mopping the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what hard work his Mum had at home! They had just finished the cleaning when the express boy came to the door. 注意： 续写字数为100字左右，请按如下格式作答。 With the cake placed on the table, Mum came in. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 With the cake placed on the table, Mum came in. “Happy birthday, Mum!”, they greeted in chorus. Confused and surprised, Mum stood frozen. When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart. Staring at the clean floor and the washed clothes, she could hardly contain her excitement and hugged them tightly, “It is the best birthday gift I have ever had!” Mum said emotionally. Just then Joan took out her smartphone and took a happy video named Mum’s Birthday and sent it to Dad. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章主要讲述了Joan在爸爸的提醒下想起来妈妈的生日，于是和弟弟一起为妈妈准备了生日惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“蛋糕放在桌上，妈妈走了进来。”可知，后文可描写妈妈看到Joan和弟弟大扫除以及收到蛋糕后的心理感受。 2.续写线索：妈妈进来——齐声欢呼——妈妈感到温暖——感到兴奋激动——妈妈感动——拍摄视频 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①克制：contain /hold back ②拿出：take out/pull out ③看着：stare at/look at 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/perplexed ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished/stunned 【点睛】【高分句型1】When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Staring at the clean floor and the washed clothes, she could hardly contain her excitement and hugged them tightly（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
