Edinburgh is famous for its many museums where you can learn its rich history.
Museum on the Mound
Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s city center, this appealing museum takes a fresh look at money — and much, much more. You will see coins and banknotes from over the ages, including the first Scottish banknote printed in 1727. There are also interesting interactive displays and you can even try your hand at opening a safe!
The Writers’ Museum
It is housed in the beautiful Lady Stair’s House, a category A listed building. The collection celebrates the legacy of Scotland’s literary contributions, with special emphasis given to Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert Burns. The museum is home to numerous paintings, books and manuscripts (手稿), and you can also see Burns’ writing desk and Scott’s chess set.
Our Dynamic Earth
It celebrates the beauty of the earth via technology. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to experience earthquakes, the ocean floor, ice ages and mountains by the use of computer software. Particularly interesting is the “tour” around the eleven Earthscapes. It is educational fun for the whole family and can serve as a good introduction to concepts surrounding the formation of the planet and the creatures we share the earth with.
National Museum of Scotland
The diverse collections here include the history of Scotland with exhibitions of international interest. The natural world, science and technology, discoveries, art, and world cultures are all explored. There are interactive elements and activities to suit children of all ages, including science experiments and musical instruments.

We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parts less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director from Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be on habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24. What is the problem with the author’s children?
A. They often annoy their neighbours. B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friends to play with D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
25. How did David Bond advocate his idea?
A. By making a documentary film. B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in London media. D. By creating a network of friends.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in paragraph 2?
A. records B. predicts C. delays D. confirms
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Let Children Have Fun B. Young Children Need More Free Time
C. Market Nature to Children D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children
C
Most of the events we experience on a day-to-day basis are only remembered for a short period and then tend to disappear from our memory quite quickly. This makes sense. It’s not useful for our brains to remember everyday ordinary events, but what about traumatic (创伤的) or important events? And, if we do remember these events, do we remember them scene-by-scene as it really happened? Or do we adapt those moments and remember them inconsistently?
Psychologists theorize that our brains tend to imprint details of sudden traumatic experiences as if we’re taking a photograph of those moments. During the event, emotions run so high that whenever we recollect these memories, the emotional recollections flash across our eyes on an event-to-event basis. This is why these memories are called “flashbulb memories”; they have photographic accuracy. However, this idea of flashbulb memories being accurate did not translate into evidence for the same.
Inconsistent flashbulb memories are more likely to be repeated than corrected, as memories are not often checked for sure. On the other hand, inaccuracies regarding the event itself were more likely to be corrected, as there was backed-up data to refer to. Thus, these inaccurate memories were not repeated often.
Why does so much of our memory fall through the cracks? In 1975, researchers Elizabeth Loftus and John Palmer noticed that language can affect how we remember an event. They asked participants who had seen a movie of a car crash to describe the crash. Using the word “smashed” instead of “hit” led participants to perceive a more severe accident. Likewise, using “collided” also resulted in reported differences in accident severity.
Additionally, false memories occur when people classify a certain mental experience as a real experience. A classic experiment, “Lost in the Mall” provides more evidence of false memories.
28. Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1?
A. To stress memory varies from time to time.
B. To highlight how brain works on memorizing.
C. To prove memories stick longer than expected.
D To show man chooses to memorize certain things.
29. What can be learned about “flashbulb memories”?
A. They have proved inaccurate.
B They are loosely related to emotions.
C. They tend to be enhanced by repeating.
D. They are likely to be broken into pieces.
30. What may affect our memory according to paragraph 4?
A. Choice of words.
B. Severity of an event.
C. Purposes to achieve.
D. Participants involved.
31. What will the text focus on next?
A. The evidence of the event.
B. More tests of memory spans.
C. The process of the experiment.
D. More cases of mental experiences.
D
If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.
Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.
Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”
So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.
32. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To warn the readers. B. To introduce a concept.
C. To present a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison.
33. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?
A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.
B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.
C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.
D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.
34. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination?
A. Force the brain to focus. B. Take a break regularly.
C. Solve a tricky math problem. D. Eat something refreshing first.
35. What is the tone of this text?
A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Serious. D. Unclear.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
She was the prettiest puppy we had ever seen, and the whole family immediately fell in love with her. We named her Onyx because of her thick, shiny black coat. She spent her first vacation with us when she was only ten weeks old and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had no clue that this amazing little ball of fur would end up being our hero.
As she grew older, Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. On hot summer days, Onyx enjoyed floating on the river with us in her own rubber tube (橡皮圈). Amazingly standing on the top of the tube, she smiled while showing off her perfect balance. Resting her front legs and paws over the edge of the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she floated until she'd had enough of the warm sun on her black coat.
One day, our eighteen-year-old daughter, Margie, announced she was going to swim across the bay. No one in the family was free to go swimming with her. The unwritten rule, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water with you, especially when swimming the width of the bay. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard her name, Onyx woke up from a nap and was ready for action. Margie signed the dog to follow her. Onyx ran to the water next to her. They entered the freezing river together and swam side by side across the bay.
I watched from the bank as they reached the sandbar (沙洲) on the far shore. They rested a few minutes before diving into the water for the return trip. I felt uneasy for some reason and continued to watch the pair swim side by side.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram (痉挛) in the leg!” __________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. ____________________________________

推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It’s not useful for our brains to remember everyday ordinary events, but what about traumatic (创伤的) or important events? And, if we do remember these events, do we remember them scene-by-scene as it really happened? Or do we adapt those moments and remember them inconsistently?(对于我们的大脑来说,记住日常的普通事件是没有用的,但对于创伤性或重要的事件呢?而且,如果我们确实记得这些事件,我们是否记得它们真实发生的场景?还是我们适应了这些时刻,不一致地记住了它们?)”和文章第二段“Psychologists theorize that our brains tend to imprint details of sudden traumatic experiences as if we’re taking a photograph of those moments.(心理学家的理论是,我们的大脑倾向于把突然的创伤经历的细节印下来,就好像我们在拍那些时刻的照片一样。)”可推知,第一段提出的问题是为了表明人会选择记忆某些东西。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Inconsistent flashbulb memories are more likely to be repeated than corrected, as memories are not often checked for sure.(不一致的闪光灯记忆更有可能被重复,而不是被纠正,因为记忆通常不会被核实。)”可知,闪光灯记忆往往通过重复而增强。故选C。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Additionally, false memories occur when people classify a certain mental experience as a real experience. A classic experiment, “Lost in the Mall” provides more evidence of false memories.(此外,当人们将某种心理体验归类为真实体验时,就会出现错误记忆。一个经典的实验,“迷失在林荫道”提供了更多错误记忆的证据。)”可推知,文章接下来可能会专注于介绍这个实验的过程。故选C。

Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.(首席执行官vs戏剧女王大脑——谁会赢?事实上,当我们的边缘大脑覆盖前额叶皮层的信息时,确实存在这种可能性)”,倒数第二段“When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”(当你冲向终点并最终达到目标时,你之前的压力消失了,你几乎进入了“看,我在压力下工作得更好!”的模式)”以及最后一段“Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.(另一个诀窍是“吃掉青蛙”,正如马克·吐温曾经说过的那样,早上要做的第一件事,或者处理一天中最困难和最有压力的任务)”可知,作者用比喻的手法,幽默的语言来说明拖延症,所以本文的基调是幽默的。故选A项。
七选五
本篇文章讲述了如何完成计划和保持动力的方法,包括选择兴趣、避免拖延、记录进度、计划时间和资源,以及给自己恢复体力和精力。
第36题 G 在36题之前的句子中,文章提到了“如果你不确定这是否是你真正想做的事情,尝试在小范围内进行并看看你是否对其感兴趣。”这意味着我们在选择项目时需要谨慎,不能盲目地开始。选项G:“This will lead to a waste of time and energy that could be better used elsewhere.” 这句话的意思是如果你不慎重选择,可能会导致时间和精力的浪费,而这些时间和精力本来可以更好地用于其他地方。这与前文提到的观点相符,即需要谨慎选择项目,以避免浪费时间和精力。
第37题 D 37题之前的句子提到:“当你面对诱惑时,问问自己什么对你更重要——出去过周末还是完成你计划要做的事情?前者可能会给你带来一些快乐,但后者会给你真正的满足感。” 这段话强调了坚持计划和完成工作的重要性。“不管你计划做什么,不要轻易改变它。” 这个选项与文章的主题是相关的。它强调了坚持计划的重要性,与前文中提到的“完成已经开始的项目”的观点相一致。
第38题 C 此处的空白处谈论的是不应该过分追求完美,否则会导致工作被推迟。我们需要找到一个与“害怕犯错”相关的选项。所以这道题选C。
第39题 B 根据后文提到要记录进展并每周回顾,这是为了了解目标的完成情况。选项B提到问自己目标实现了多少,与文章内容相一致。
第40题 E 根据后文提到要庆祝已经完成的事情,并在准备好之后继续前进。选项E提到利用这个机会来恢复力量和精力,与文章内容相符。
第二部分 语言运用 (共两节,满分30分)
第一节 完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
本篇讲述了作者在失手砸坏邻居家用于婚礼的车后,在道歉后得到了对方的宽容和谅解的故事。
第41题 B 根据下文可知,作者捡起石头攻击了鸟,由此可以判断此处是“大鸟在捕猎(hunt)小松鼠”,作者为了保护小松鼠才做出丢石头的行为。
第42题 A 作者在有把握(certain)的瞄准(aim)后,才选择丢出石头,而不是可能瞄准后再丢出。
第43题 C 由下文可知,石头砸中了一辆新车的挡风玻璃,因此可以推断石头应当是掉落到树枝(branch)上后被弹开(bounce off),再落到车上的。
第44题 B 表现作者在砸坏邻居车之后内心的焦虑(anxiety),但是还是表面平静的想办法留下了个人信息。
第45题 D 通过前文可知作者跑回房间,观察情况想要弄清(see)自己砸坏了哪个邻居的车。

第47题 A 根据语境可知,这句话想表达作者解释真相后承诺自己会承担责任(take responsibilities)。
第48题 B 根据句中的“also”可以判断,邻居本人也具有和一开始出现的那个温柔男子一样的性格,因此选择友善(kind)。
第49题 C 根据后文可知,作者经过和两人的交流(exchanges)后,了解了被砸的车是婚车的情况。
第50题 C 反映了作者在知道真相后的后悔自责,因此后悔的哭泣(cry in regret)。
第51题 D 从前文的“kinder”可知,受害者一家在看到作者自责后反而表现出了更大的善意,于是他们安慰(comfort)了哭泣的作者。
第52题 D 由下文中的“an voice of further kindness”可以判断,此处因为有声音的一种沟通方式,因此选择电话(call)。
第53题 D 表现作者并未想到在闯祸后还能接到后续的电话,因此电话里是出乎意料的(unexpected)声音。
第54题 B 通过语境可以判断,保险公司的电话告知作者他们接受了车被损坏的原因,并且选择将它的损失覆盖(cover)进保险的范围内,而保险公司的这种行为并非是赞助(sponsor)。
第55题 C 全文讲述了一个人们对犯错者展现出宽容(forgiveness)、反映出人与人之间善意的故事,其他选项不符合主题。

【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“游客可以通过数字技术在开放展区享受反映北京和大运河主题的互动体验,”冯说。分析句子结构可知,空处需要非谓语动词作定语。该动词和被修饰的名词an interactive experience之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作定语。故填reflecting。

考查定语从句。句意:大运河连接中国东部浙江省的北京和杭州,有着2500多年的历史,是中国古代重要的交通路线。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词the Grand Canal。先行词指物,在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系副词which引导该从句。故填which。
