You need to memorise which groceries to pick up before you forget. Thankfully, there’s a memory aid that’s perfect for the job: the peg-word method. What is the peg-word method? It employs a set of pre-determined words, regarded as peg words, for the to-be-remembered information. Peg words act as a structure to help you remember particular items. Essentially, you’re hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily. Initially, to use this method, you will have to remember the peg words as well as the numbers: one=bun  two= shoe  three=tree  four= door  five= hive six= sticks  seven= heaven  eight= gate  nine =vine  ten= hen The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun(小圆面包) together. The more unusual you can make your image, the more likely you are to remember it. In this case, you could imagine a bun drinking a glass of milk. Why is it useful? As the case shows, it is most useful when it comes to remembering lists and you can recall the listed items easily in order. Another way to use this memory aid is to memorise important numbers, like phone numbers or dates. For instance, you need to remember that William Shakespeare was born in the year 1564. First, change that number to bun-hive-sticks-door. Then imagine a story to help you remember the series: William Shakespeare put a bun in a beehive to coat it in honey, but he didn’t like how sticky it became so he threw it at a door. The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information, please visit https://jojomemory.com/. 21. How can we apply the peg-word method to recall an item? A. List out different meanings of the item. B. Visualise the item and memorize its image. C. Choose the item’s peg word and remember it. D. Create a visual link between the item and its peg word. 22. What is the best way to remember the number 347 with the peg words in the table? A. A hen drinks from a bottle of wine. B. A load of eggs grow like fruit on a tree. C. A tree grows through the door to heaven. D. An apple shoots out of a bun and hits the door. 23. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce a helpful memory tool. B. To advertise a brain training program. C. To highlight the importance of peg words. D. To analyze the necessity of training memory. B Abeid was born in a village of Tanzania and dreamt of flying a plane, soaring (翱翔) through the sky. Due to financial difficulties, he became a wildlife guide instead. Abeid didn’t give up. He became a chief pilot of hot air ballooning at the age of 20. His passion for flying was matched by his skill both as a pilot and as a guide. Then, he came up with the idea of flying across the Serengeti from east to west, which would take four flights on successive days, taking off and landing where no one had ever seen a balloon before. As a journalist, I was so lucky to make a journey with Abeid. We were up at 3 am. Abeid walked into the basket and checked the lines and the fastenings. Moments later, he was instructing me to get into it. With barely time to catch my breath, he gave a long blast (猛吹) on the burners and the basket tipped upright. Over the following days, we gasped at the joy and wonder of the sky; at the beauty and complexity of the land beneath us. There was no fear, just a sense of being part of something fantastic as we floated in the silence of the African sky. But not everything went entirely to Abeid’s carefully worked-out plan. The rains that had started to fall every afternoon slowed the air. On the final day, we landed 20km short of the destination. Luckily, we finally made the crossing the next morning. When we were returning to the land, crowds of people shouted and waved. Many children looked up as we flew over them, and started to run. As Abeid brought the balloon down, people gathered around the balloon, pressing against the basket. Those children were also there, flushed and breathless, eyes wide with amazement. Abeid and I both looked at each other in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping some children into the basket. Abeid lifted off and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited crowd running alongside. I realized that Abeid’s journey was more than just about flying. It was about hope, inspiration, and the joy of sharing one’s passion. And as I penned down the last words of this extraordinary experience, I knew that Abeid’s story would resonate (回荡) far beyond the Serengeti. 28. What did Abeid dream of? A. Being a wildlife guide. B. Being a journalist. C. Flying a hot air balloon. D. Flying a plane. 29. Which of the following best describes the journey across the Serengeti? A. Smooth. B. Pioneering. C. Painful. D. Eco-friendly. 30. What agreement did Abeid and the author reach? A. Showing their technical skills. B. Teaching the children to be a pilot. C. Taking the children for a ride. D. Attracting people to their show. 31. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Beautiful View: from East to West B. A Balloon Adventure: the Dream Soaring High C. Different Job Experiences: from a Guide to a Pilot D. A Wildlife Exploration: the Unforgettable Experience C The idea that aging reduces adults’ ability to imagine, a common theme in children’s literature, is contradicted by psychological research. While children are often portrayed as more imaginative, research indicates that adults not only keep this ability but sometimes surpass children in imaginative thinking. Children are frequently celebrated for boundless imagination. Yet, research reveals that their make-believe games often center around realistic scenarios, such as cooking and cleaning, as demonstrated in a 2020 study published in Journal of Cognition and Development. Another study, lasting for four decades, also suggests that children are not naturally more imaginative than adults; their limitations result from a lack of knowledge and expertise to effectively use their imaginative capacity as adults. Imagination may have evolved for considering alternatives to reality, but we use it most naturally to explore close alternatives, like preparing a different meal, rather than far alternatives, like riding on clouds. When we use imagination to envision far alternatives — to innovate or invent — we’re not digging into an inborn appreciation of the extraordinary; we’re using a tool designed to explore the ordinary. When considering alternatives to reality, we fix our attention on possibilities that are physically reasonable, statistically probable, socially conventional and morally permissible. When told about possibilities that violate such regularities, we usually deny they could happen. Generally speaking, our ideas about what could happen are firmly rooted in what we expect to happen. This mindset is also particularly apparent in young children. In a 2018 study I co-designed with psychologist Jonathan Phillips, 4-year-olds were asked to help a distressed girl who disliked going to school due to missing her mother. Among all the solutions given, they perceived the only possible solution was for her mother to do something special after school to ease her concerns. Unexpected alternatives, such as snapping fingers and making it Saturday, wearing pajamas to school or lying about school being closed, were all regarded impossible. From this, we can conclude that children’s earliest intuitions (直觉力) about possibility confuse what could happen with what should happen. Historically, the improbable event of traveling faster than a horse was considered impossible, as was traveling by air or traveling into space. Before the arrival of trains and planes, there were good reasons to think that people could travel only so far and only so fast. But these reasons were empirical (经验主义的), not logical. Imagination, on its own, lumps the improbable with the impossible, but we can combine imagination with other abilities — namely, knowledge and reflection — to separate the two. While imagination in children often subjects to expectation, adults can control their imaginative capacity for innovation by integrating it with accumulated knowledge and reflective thinking. 24. According to the first two paragraphs, we know that _________. A. children develop imagination through games B. children face limitations in acquiring knowledge C. adults are as good as children in imaginative thinking D. adults’ imaginative ability is likely to stay constant with age 25. We can infer from the passage that _________. A. expectation results from imaginative capacity B. certain practical concerns can limit imagination C. breaking regularities may lead to close alternatives D. far alternatives are more important than close alternatives 26. The 2018 study shows that children _________. A. came up with a wide range of alternatives B. were quicker to figure out solutions C. took what should happen as possibilities D. used imagination in a reasonable way 27. The underlined word “lumps” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A. mix B. match C. compare D. replace D Neuroscientists usually investigate one brain at a time. They observe how neurons(神经元)fire as a person reads certain words, for example, or plays a video game. As social animals, however, those same scientists do much of their work together — brainstorming hypotheses, puzzling over problems and fine-tuning experimental designs. Increasingly, researchers are bringing that reality into how they study brains. Collective neuroscience, as some practitioners call it, is a rapidly growing field of research. An early, consistent finding is that when people converse or share an experience, their brain waves synchronize. Neurons in corresponding locations of the different brains fire at the same time, creating matching patterns, like dancers moving together. The experience of “being on the same wavelength” as another person is real, and it is visible in the activity of the brain. Such work is beginning to reveal new levels of richness and complexity in sociability. In classrooms where students are engaged with the teacher, for example, their patterns of brain processing begin to synchronize with that teacher’s — and greater synchrony may mean better learning. Couples exhibit higher degrees of brain synchrony than non-romantic pairs, as do close friends compared with more distant acquaintances. But much about the phenomenon remains mysterious — even scientists occasionally use the word “magic” when talking about it. One straightforward explanation could be that synchrony between brains is a result of shared experience or simply a sign that we are hearing or seeing the same thing as someone else. But the newest research suggests that synchrony is more than that — or can be. Researchers are discovering synchrony in humans and other species, and they are mapping its choreography — its rhythm, timing and undulations(波动) — to better understand what benefits it may give us. Given that synchronized experiences are often enjoyable, researchers suspect this phenomenon is beneficial: it helps us interact and may have facilitated the evolution of sociality. This new kind of brain research might also cast light on why we don’t always “click” with someone or why social isolation(孤立) is so harmful to physical and mental health. With synchrony and other levels of neural interaction, humans teach and learn, forge friendships and romances, and cooperate and converse. We are driven to connect, and synchrony is one way our brains help us do it. 32. According to the passage, collective neuroscience ______. A. collects and refines research on neurons B. analyses activities of one brain at a time C. promotes connections among neuroscientists D. focuses on studying brains in interactive groups 33. What can we infer about brain synchrony from Paragraph 4? A. It can benefit other species. B. Its mechanism has changed. C. It demands further investigations. D. Findings about it are contradictory. 34. Which of the following may result from brain synchrony? A. Increasing popularity among peers. B. Better cooperation among teammates. C. Improved techniques for conversations. D. More shared experiences between a couple. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10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。 While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers. 35 What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely. Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 36 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. Listen as well as you talk. 37 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response. Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 38 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”. The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 39 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. A. Identify a communication goal. B. He knows most who speaks least. C. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. D. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. E. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly. F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节 (共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12 分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Brain, 58, was treated in intensive care for a severe case. As soon as his condition had stabilized, he was sent home with equipment including a phone and a blood pressure monitor. “Every day I would input my vital signs on the app,” Brain said. “If anything went wrong or wasn’t right, a nurse would call me straight away.” Brain spent six weeks on this “virtual ward (病房)”, run by his local NHS hospital in partnership with Doccla, a healthcare technology company. He is one of thousands of patients to have been treated in new “hospitals at home”, seen by NHS leaders as a “lifeline” for overwhelmed hospitals that have run out of beds. 2,500 virtual ward beds were already in use, ensuring that people could “get the care they need from their own homes”. Retz, founder of Docile, said soon there could be “regional command centers”, where a doctor or nurse monitored data from hundreds of patients displayed on a dashboard. “It works in a similar way to traditional ward rounds in a hospital, with patients submitting data once or twice a day, which is reviewed by a doctor,” he said. Noel O’Kelly, clinical director at Spirit Health, said, “Older people want to spend as little time in hospital as possible and avoid hospital visits, particularly as frequent visits and long periods of time spent in hospital can be damaging to the health of older patients. We have already seen very encouraging results from the use of virtual wards for older patients.” Virtual wards allow real potential to support people to recover well in the community. The model is not a silver bullet and health leaders are mindful that it should not worsen health inequalities, but it could present a vital lifeline for the system. 40. How was Brain treated after his condition stabilized? 41. What do “regional command centers” and traditional ward rounds have in common? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > Older patients want to spend as little time in hospital as possible because medical resources in hospitals are limited. 43. Besides what’s mentioned in the passage, what other benefit(s) do you think virtual hospitals may have?

You need to memorise which groceries to pick up before you forget. Thankfully, there’s a memory aid that’s perfect for the job: the peg-word method. What is the peg-word method? It employs a set of pre-determined words, regarded as peg words, for the to-be-remembered information. Peg words act as a structure to help you remember particular items. Essentially, you’re hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily. Initially, to use this method, you will have to remember the peg words as well as the numbers: one=bun  two= shoe  three=tree  four= door  five= hive six= sticks  seven= heaven  eight= gate  nine =vine  ten= hen The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun(小圆面包) together. The more unusual you can make your image, the more likely you are to remember it. In this case, you could imagine a bun drinking a glass of milk. Why is it useful? As the case shows, it is most useful when it comes to remembering lists and you can recall the listed items easily in order. Another way to use this memory aid is to memorise important numbers, like phone numbers or dates. For instance, you need to remember that William Shakespeare was born in the year 1564. First, change that number to bun-hive-sticks-door. Then imagine a story to help you remember the series: William Shakespeare put a bun in a beehive to coat it in honey, but he didn’t like how sticky it became so he threw it at a door. The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information, please visit https://jojomemory.com/. 21. How can we apply the peg-word method to recall an item? A. List out different meanings of the item. B. Visualise the item and memorize its image. C. Choose the item’s peg word and remember it. D. Create a visual link between the item and its peg word. 22. What is the best way to remember the number 347 with the peg words in the table? A. A hen drinks from a bottle of wine. B. A load of eggs grow like fruit on a tree. C. A tree grows through the door to heaven. D. An apple shoots out of a bun and hits the door. 23. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce a helpful memory tool. B. To advertise a brain training program. C. To highlight the importance of peg words. D. To analyze the necessity of training memory. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了一种辅助帮助记忆的工具——挂钩词法。 21. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Essentially, you’re hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily.(从本质上讲，你把需要回忆的信息挂在这些挂钩上，这样就可以快速、轻松地回忆起来)”及表格下一段“The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun together.(下一步是在你需要记住的信息和与相应数字相关联的项目之间建立联系。例如，如果第一件东西是牛奶，那么你需要想象牛奶和面包在一起)”可知，我们需要在事物和它的挂钩词之间创建一个想象链接，即，看到这些词就能想到对应的事物来帮助我们记住事物。故选D。 22. 推理判断题。347对应数字three，four，seven，观察表格可知，three=tree（树木），four=door（门），seven=heaven（天堂），将“树木，门，天堂”联系起来，得到C选项“从通往天堂的门里长出一棵树”。故选C。 23. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Thankfully, there’s a memory aid that’s perfect for the job: the peg-word method.(值得庆幸的是，有一种记忆辅助工具非常适合这项工作:挂钩词法)”及最后一段“The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information, please visit https://jojomemory.com/.(挂钩词法被广泛认为是一种有助于记忆的方法。欲了解更多信息，请访问https://jojomemory.com/)”可推知，本文是为了向大家介绍一种有用的记忆工具。故选A。 B Abeid was born in a village of Tanzania and dreamt of flying a plane, soaring (翱翔) through the sky. Due to financial difficulties, he became a wildlife guide instead. Abeid didn’t give up. He became a chief pilot of hot air ballooning at the age of 20. His passion for flying was matched by his skill both as a pilot and as a guide. Then, he came up with the idea of flying across the Serengeti from east to west, which would take four flights on successive days, taking off and landing where no one had ever seen a balloon before. As a journalist, I was so lucky to make a journey with Abeid. We were up at 3 am. Abeid walked into the basket and checked the lines and the fastenings. Moments later, he was instructing me to get into it. With barely time to catch my breath, he gave a long blast (猛吹) on the burners and the basket tipped upright. Over the following days, we gasped at the joy and wonder of the sky; at the beauty and complexity of the land beneath us. There was no fear, just a sense of being part of something fantastic as we floated in the silence of the African sky. But not everything went entirely to Abeid’s carefully worked-out plan. The rains that had started to fall every afternoon slowed the air. On the final day, we landed 20km short of the destination. Luckily, we finally made the crossing the next morning. When we were returning to the land, crowds of people shouted and waved. Many children looked up as we flew over them, and started to run. As Abeid brought the balloon down, people gathered around the balloon, pressing against the basket. Those children were also there, flushed and breathless, eyes wide with amazement. Abeid and I both looked at each other in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping some children into the basket. Abeid lifted off and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited crowd running alongside. I realized that Abeid’s journey was more than just about flying. It was about hope, inspiration, and the joy of sharing one’s passion. And as I penned down the last words of this extraordinary experience, I knew that Abeid’s story would resonate (回荡) far beyond the Serengeti. 28. What did Abeid dream of? A. Being a wildlife guide. B. Being a journalist. C. Flying a hot air balloon. D. Flying a plane. 29. Which of the following best describes the journey across the Serengeti? A. Smooth. B. Pioneering. C. Painful. D. Eco-friendly. 30. What agreement did Abeid and the author reach? A. Showing their technical skills. B. Teaching the children to be a pilot. C. Taking the children for a ride. D. Attracting people to their show. 31. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Beautiful View: from East to West B. A Balloon Adventure: the Dream Soaring High C. Different Job Experiences: from a Guide to a Pilot D. A Wildlife Exploration: the Unforgettable Experience 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. B 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述主人公阿贝德的一次开创性的气球飞行冒险，实现了飞行梦想，充满希望，灵感和分享的快乐。 28. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Abeid was born in a village of Tanzania and dreamt of flying a plane, soaring (翱翔) through the sky. (阿贝德出生在坦桑尼亚的一个村庄，他的梦想是驾驶一架飞机，在天空翱翔。)”可知，Abeid的梦想是开飞机。故选D。 29. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Then, he came up with the idea of flying across the Serengeti from east to west, which would take four flights on successive days, taking off and landing where no one had ever seen a balloon before. (然后，他想到了从东到西飞越塞伦盖蒂的想法，这需要连续四天飞行四次，起飞和降落在以前没有人见过气球的地方。)”可知，穿越塞伦盖蒂是开创性的，以前这里没有热见过气球。故选B。 30. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Abeid and I both looked at each other in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping some children into the basket. Abeid lifted off and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited crowd running alongside. (阿贝德和我都默默对视一眼达成协议。突然，我们帮助一些孩子进入篮子。阿贝德起飞了，我们只飞了几百米，兴奋的人群在旁边奔跑。)”可知，阿贝德和作者达成的协议是带孩子们飞一段路程。故选C。 31. 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Abeid was born in a village of Tanzania and dreamt of flying a plane, soaring (翱翔)through the sky. (阿贝德出生在坦桑尼亚的一个村庄，他的梦想是驾驶一架飞机，在天空翱翔。)”，第二段的“Then, he came up with the idea of flying across the Serengeti from east to west, which would take four flights on successive days, taking off and landing where no one had ever seen a balloon before. (然后，他想到了从东到西飞越塞伦盖蒂的想法，这需要连续四天飞行四次，起飞和降落在以前没有人见过气球的地方。)”以及最后一段“I realized that Abeid’s journey was more than just about flying. It was about hope, inspiration, and the joy of sharing one’s passion. And as I penned down the last words of this extraordinary experience, I knew that Abeid’s story would resonate (回荡) far beyond the Serengeti. (我意识到阿贝德的旅程不仅仅是飞行。它是关于希望、灵感和分享激情的快乐。当我写下这段非凡经历的最后几句话时，我知道阿贝德的故事会引起共鸣，远远超出塞伦盖蒂。)”可知，文章主语讲述阿贝德的一次开创性的气球飞行冒险，实现了飞行梦想，充满希望，灵感和分享的快乐，因此推断B项“气球冒险：高飞的梦想”为最佳标题。故选B。 C The idea that aging reduces adults’ ability to imagine, a common theme in children’s literature, is contradicted by psychological research. While children are often portrayed as more imaginative, research indicates that adults not only keep this ability but sometimes surpass children in imaginative thinking. Children are frequently celebrated for boundless imagination. Yet, research reveals that their make-believe games often center around realistic scenarios, such as cooking and cleaning, as demonstrated in a 2020 study published in Journal of Cognition and Development. Another study, lasting for four decades, also suggests that children are not naturally more imaginative than adults; their limitations result from a lack of knowledge and expertise to effectively use their imaginative capacity as adults. Imagination may have evolved for considering alternatives to reality, but we use it most naturally to explore close alternatives, like preparing a different meal, rather than far alternatives, like riding on clouds. When we use imagination to envision far alternatives — to innovate or invent — we’re not digging into an inborn appreciation of the extraordinary; we’re using a tool designed to explore the ordinary. When considering alternatives to reality, we fix our attention on possibilities that are physically reasonable, statistically probable, socially conventional and morally permissible. When told about possibilities that violate such regularities, we usually deny they could happen. Generally speaking, our ideas about what could happen are firmly rooted in what we expect to happen. This mindset is also particularly apparent in young children. In a 2018 study I co-designed with psychologist Jonathan Phillips, 4-year-olds were asked to help a distressed girl who disliked going to school due to missing her mother. Among all the solutions given, they perceived the only possible solution was for her mother to do something special after school to ease her concerns. Unexpected alternatives, such as snapping fingers and making it Saturday, wearing pajamas to school or lying about school being closed, were all regarded impossible. From this, we can conclude that children’s earliest intuitions (直觉力) about possibility confuse what could happen with what should happen. Historically, the improbable event of traveling faster than a horse was considered impossible, as was traveling by air or traveling into space. Before the arrival of trains and planes, there were good reasons to think that people could travel only so far and only so fast. But these reasons were empirical (经验主义的), not logical. Imagination, on its own, lumps the improbable with the impossible, but we can combine imagination with other abilities — namely, knowledge and reflection — to separate the two. While imagination in children often subjects to expectation, adults can control their imaginative capacity for innovation by integrating it with accumulated knowledge and reflective thinking. 24. According to the first two paragraphs, we know that _________. A. children develop imagination through games B. children face limitations in acquiring knowledge C. adults are as good as children in imaginative thinking D. adults’ imaginative ability is likely to stay constant with age 25. We can infer from the passage that _________. A. expectation results from imaginative capacity B. certain practical concerns can limit imagination C. breaking regularities may lead to close alternatives D. far alternatives are more important than close alternatives 26. The 2018 study shows that children _________. A. came up with a wide range of alternatives B. were quicker to figure out solutions C. took what should happen as possibilities D. used imagination in a reasonable way 27. The underlined word “lumps” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A. mix B. match C. compare D. replace 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要指出心理学研究反驳了老年人想象力下降的观点，实际上成年人在某些方面可能比儿童更有想象力。研究表明，儿童的想象游戏通常围绕现实场景，并非天生比成人更具想象力，而是受限于知识和经验。人们倾向于用想象力探索与现实相近的可能性，而非遥远的不切实际的事物。研究还显示，儿童对可能性的理解容易与期望混淆。最后，文章强调成人可以通过结合知识和反思来控制想象力，从而进行创新。 24. 推理判断题。由第一段中“While children are often portrayed as more imaginative, research indicates that adults not only keep this ability but sometimes surpass children in imaginative thinking. (虽然儿童通常被描绘成更有想象力，但研究表明，成年人不仅保持了这种能力，而且有时在想象力思维方面超过了儿童)”和第二段中“Another study, lasting for four decades, also suggests that children are not naturally more imaginative than adults (另一项持续四十年的研究也表明，儿童天生并不比成年人更有想象力)”可知，儿童天生并不比成年人更有想象力，人成年后也更有想象力，成年人不仅保持了这种能力，而且有时在想象力思维方面超过了儿童，可得出成年人的想象力可能会随着年龄的增长而保持不变。故选D项。 25. 推理判断题。由第三段中“When we use imagination to envision far alternatives — to innovate or invent — we’re not digging into an inborn appreciation of the extraordinary; we’re using a tool designed to explore the ordinary. When considering alternatives to reality, we fix our attention on possibilities that are physically reasonable, statistically probable, socially conventional and morally permissible. When told about possibilities that violate such regularities, we usually deny they could happen. Generally speaking, our ideas about what could happen are firmly rooted in what we expect to happen. (当我们用想象力来设想创新或发明的遥远替代方案时，我们并不是在挖掘与生俱来的非凡鉴赏力；我们正在使用一种旨在探索普通事物的工具。在考虑现实的替代方案时，我们将注意力集中在物理上合理、统计上可能、社会传统和道德上允许的可能性上。当被告知违反这种规律的可能性时，我们通常否认它们可能发生。一般来说，我们对可能发生的事情的想法深深植根于我们所期望的事情)”可得出，某些实际问题会限制想象力。故选B项。 26. 细节理解题。由第四段中“From this, we can conclude that children’s earliest intuitions (直觉力) about possibility confuse what could happen with what should happen. (由此，我们可以得出结论，孩子们最早对可能性的直觉混淆了可能发生的事情和应该发生的事情)”可知，2018年的研究表明，儿童把应该发生的事情视为可能。故选C项。 27. 词句猜测题。由最后一段中“But these reasons were empirical (经验主义的), not logical. Imagination, on its own, lumps the improbable with the impossible, but we can combine imagination with other abilities — namely, knowledge and reflection — to separate the two. (但这些原因都是经验的，而非逻辑的。想象力本身就lumps不大可能（还有机会实现）和大不可能（绝无可能实现），但我们可以把想象力与其他能力——即知识和反思——结合起来，把两者分开)”可知，but后讲人们可以通过将想象力与其他能力，即知识和反思相结合，将不大可能（还有机会实现）和大不可能（绝无可能实现）分开，说明想象力本身会将不大可能（还有机会实现）和大不可能（绝无可能实现）混为一谈，划线词lumps意为“混合”。故选A项。 D Neuroscientists usually investigate one brain at a time. They observe how neurons(神经元)fire as a person reads certain words, for example, or plays a video game. As social animals, however, those same scientists do much of their work together — brainstorming hypotheses, puzzling over problems and fine-tuning experimental designs. Increasingly, researchers are bringing that reality into how they study brains. Collective neuroscience, as some practitioners call it, is a rapidly growing field of research. An early, consistent finding is that when people converse or share an experience, their brain waves synchronize. Neurons in corresponding locations of the different brains fire at the same time, creating matching patterns, like dancers moving together. The experience of “being on the same wavelength” as another person is real, and it is visible in the activity of the brain. Such work is beginning to reveal new levels of richness and complexity in sociability. In classrooms where students are engaged with the teacher, for example, their patterns of brain processing begin to synchronize with that teacher’s — and greater synchrony may mean better learning. Couples exhibit higher degrees of brain synchrony than non-romantic pairs, as do close friends compared with more distant acquaintances. But much about the phenomenon remains mysterious — even scientists occasionally use the word “magic” when talking about it. One straightforward explanation could be that synchrony between brains is a result of shared experience or simply a sign that we are hearing or seeing the same thing as someone else. But the newest research suggests that synchrony is more than that — or can be. Researchers are discovering synchrony in humans and other species, and they are mapping its choreography — its rhythm, timing and undulations(波动) — to better understand what benefits it may give us. Given that synchronized experiences are often enjoyable, researchers suspect this phenomenon is beneficial: it helps us interact and may have facilitated the evolution of sociality. This new kind of brain research might also cast light on why we don’t always “click” with someone or why social isolation(孤立) is so harmful to physical and mental health. With synchrony and other levels of neural interaction, humans teach and learn, forge friendships and romances, and cooperate and converse. We are driven to connect, and synchrony is one way our brains help us do it. 32. According to the passage, collective neuroscience ______. A. collects and refines research on neurons B. analyses activities of one brain at a time C. promotes connections among neuroscientists D. focuses on studying brains in interactive groups 33. What can we infer about brain synchrony from Paragraph 4? A. It can benefit other species. B. Its mechanism has changed. C. It demands further investigations. D. Findings about it are contradictory. 34. Which of the following may result from brain synchrony? A. Increasing popularity among peers. B. Better cooperation among teammates. C. Improved techniques for conversations. D. More shared experiences between a couple. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个新兴的研究领域——集体神经科学，该领域研究当人们交流或分享经验时大脑波的同步现象。 32. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的句子“As social animals, however, those same scientists do much of their work together — brainstorming hypotheses, puzzling over problems and fine-tuning experimental designs. Increasingly, researchers are bringing that reality into how they study brains.(然而，作为社会动物，这些科学家同样会一起做很多工作——头脑风暴、解决问题和微调实验设计。越来越多的研究人员将这种现实带入他们研究大脑的方式中)”和第二段“Collective neuroscience, as some practitioners call it, is a rapidly growing field of research.(一些从业者称之为集体神经科学，是一个迅速发展的研究领域)”可知，集体神经科学专注于在互动小组中研究大脑。故选D。 33. 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的句子“But much about the phenomenon remains mysterious — even scientists occasionally use the word “magic” when talking about it.(但关于这一现象的很多方面仍然是个谜——甚至科学家在谈论它时偶尔也会用“神奇”这个词)”可知，科学家们对大脑同步现象的了解还不够深入，需要进一步的研究。故选C。 34. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“With synchrony and other levels of neural interaction, humans teach and learn, forge friendships and romances, and cooperate and converse.(通过同步和其他级别的神经交互，人类教导和学习、建立友谊和浪漫关系、合作和交谈)”可知，大脑同步现象可能会促进团队成员之间的合作。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10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。 While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers. 35 What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely. Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 36 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. Listen as well as you talk. 37 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response. Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 38 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”. The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 39 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. A. Identify a communication goal. B. He knows most who speaks least. C. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. D. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. E. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly. F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. 【答案】35. A 36. F 37. G 38. C 39. D 【导语】本文是一篇关于即兴沟通技巧的说明文。文章通过提供具体的建议帮助读者在没有准备的情况下有效沟通。 35. 下文“Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. (拥有一个清晰的目标，加上对听众的了解，将有助于集中你的注意力。)”说明要明确沟通目标并了解听众，空格处需要一个与此相一致的选项，因此A项“Identify a communication goal. (确定一个沟通目标。)”中的关键词goal和本段相符，故选A。 36. 下文“In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. (事实上，最好的演讲者通过展示特定点和想法之间的联系来保持听众兴趣。)”说明优秀的讲话需要有一定的逻辑结构，因此F项“A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. (清晰的结构增强理解和参与度。)”与下文一致，故选F。 37. 下文“You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. (你应该做相反的事情：专注于倾听，这样你就能更好地理解对话伙伴的即时需求和兴趣，并更有效地回应。)”说明在谈话中,我们应该更加注重倾听而不是说话,因此G项“Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. (大多数人在即兴场合过于纠结于该说什么。)”与下文的do the opposite逻辑相符，故选G。 38. 下文“Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. (当你像一个人而不是演员或机器人那样说话时，听众更可能信任和赞同你。)”说明想要让对方更加信任自己，我们不应该像机器人那样发挥完美，机械回答，应该更像人类一样，有一些小错误，因此C项“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (不要让完美成为好的敌人。)”与下文相一致，故选C。 39. 下文“Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. (幸运的是，一些实验性思考和技能实践可以使即兴演讲机会成为你发光的时刻。)”可知通过这些小技巧，可以让人们在谈话中发挥出色，从而就不会紧张，因此D项“It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. (正是因为我们太紧张，所以我们在谈话中挣扎。)”与下文相一致，故选D。 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节 (共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12 分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Brain, 58, was treated in intensive care for a severe case. As soon as his condition had stabilized, he was sent home with equipment including a phone and a blood pressure monitor. “Every day I would input my vital signs on the app,” Brain said. “If anything went wrong or wasn’t right, a nurse would call me straight away.” Brain spent six weeks on this “virtual ward (病房)”, run by his local NHS hospital in partnership with Doccla, a healthcare technology company. He is one of thousands of patients to have been treated in new “hospitals at home”, seen by NHS leaders as a “lifeline” for overwhelmed hospitals that have run out of beds. 2,500 virtual ward beds were already in use, ensuring that people could “get the care they need from their own homes”. Retz, founder of Docile, said soon there could be “regional command centers”, where a doctor or nurse monitored data from hundreds of patients displayed on a dashboard. “It works in a similar way to traditional ward rounds in a hospital, with patients submitting data once or twice a day, which is reviewed by a doctor,” he said. Noel O’Kelly, clinical director at Spirit Health, said, “Older people want to spend as little time in hospital as possible and avoid hospital visits, particularly as frequent visits and long periods of time spent in hospital can be damaging to the health of older patients. We have already seen very encouraging results from the use of virtual wards for older patients.” Virtual wards allow real potential to support people to recover well in the community. The model is not a silver bullet and health leaders are mindful that it should not worsen health inequalities, but it could present a vital lifeline for the system. 40. How was Brain treated after his condition stabilized? 41. What do “regional command centers” and traditional ward rounds have in common? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > Older patients want to spend as little time in hospital as possible because medical resources in hospitals are limited. 43. Besides what’s mentioned in the passage, what other benefit(s) do you think virtual hospitals may have? (In about 40 words) 【答案】 40. He was sent home with equipment including a phone and a blood pressure monitor. 41. Patients submit data once or twice a day, which is reviewed by a doctor. 42. Older patients want to spend as little time in hospital as possible because medical resources in hospitals are limited. According to the passage, older patients want to spend as little time in hospital as possible because long periods of time spent in hospital can be damaging to their health. 43. 言之有理即可。I think virtual wards can improve the quality of life for older people because living at home can ensure that they eat better and participate in normal social interaction. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是虚拟病房的优点。 40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段的“As soon as his condition had stabilized, he was sent home with equipment including a phone and a blood pressure monitor.(病情一稳定，他就带着手机和血压计等设备被送回家。)”可知，他被送回家时带着包括电话和血压计在内的设备。故答案为He was sent home with equipment including a phone and a blood pressure monitor. 41. 考查细节理解。根据第四段的“It works in a similar way to traditional ward rounds in a hospital, with patients submitting data once or twice a day, which is reviewed by a doctor(它的工作方式与医院的传统查房类似，患者每天提交一到两次数据，由医生审查)”可知，“区域指挥中心”和传统的查房的共同之处在于患者每天提交一到两次数据，由医生审查。故答案为Patients submit data once or twice a day, which is reviewed by a doctor. 42. 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的“Older people want to spend as little time in hospital as possible and avoid hospital visits, particularly as frequent visits and long periods of time spent in hospital can be damaging to the health of older patients.(老年人希望尽可能少地住院，避免去医院，尤其是频繁的住院和长时间的住院会损害老年患者的健康。)”可知，老年人希望少住院的原因是因为长时间住院不利于身体健康，而不是因为医院的医疗资源有限，故答案为Older patients want to spend as little time in hospital as possible because medical resources in hospitals are limited. According to the passage, older patients want to spend as little time in hospital as possible because long periods of time spent in hospital can be damaging to their health. 43. 考查推理判断。言之有理即可。根据文章可知，我认为虚拟病房可以提高老年人的生活质量，因为在家居住可以确保老年人吃得更好，也可参加正常的社交。故答案为I think virtual wards can improve the quality of life for older people because living at home can ensure that they eat better and participate in normal social interaction. 第二节 (20分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你校的英国交换生Jim 酷爱阅读，恰逢学校新图书馆投入使用，请你用英文给Jim写一封电子邮件，介绍新图书馆的情况。内容包括： 1. 新图书馆开放时间及借阅须知； 2. 新图书馆藏书等情况。 注意：1. 词数100左右，开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总词数； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jim, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours, Li Hua Dear Jim, I know you love reading books.
