She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity. With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name! I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the remaining half-century of my life. I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades. 4. Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present? A She wanted to meet the child’s wish. B. She rewarded the girl for her good work. C. She gave gifts to every child in the town. D. She wanted to make up for the low salary. 5. What do we know about Carbon Paper Regal Premium? A. It is used in school teaching. B. It is made by special magicians. C. It usually consists of colorful paper. D. It can copy something written on paper. 6. What does the underlined sentence “I was enthralled.” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium. B. I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. C. I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. D. I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should work for others to get a gift. B. A gift with long-term effects is a better choice. C. Children need to receive a gift that they want. D. Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者八岁时得到了怀特太太送的复写纸作为礼物，作者对这种东西非常着迷，并从中学到了印刷、复制文字和传播思想的奥秘。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present.(她给我的工资很少，因为她没有多少钱。然而，她答应给我一份圣诞礼物)”可知，怀特太太答应给那个女孩一份圣诞礼物是因为她想弥补低工资。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!(她拿起两张白纸，从盒子里拿出一张黑布放在它们中间。然后，她用一支硬铅笔把我的名字写在上面那张纸上。她取下那张纸和那张皇家高级复写纸，递给我第二张纸，她的铅笔根本没碰过那张纸。上面却有我的名字！)”可知，Carbon Paper Regal Premium可以复制写在纸上的东西。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end.(我写啊写，把整张纸都用完了，直到最后一张黑纸都用完了)”可知，作者一直把Carbon Paper Regal Premium都写完了，说明作者对Carbon Paper Regal Premium着迷了。故划线句意思是“我对Carbon Paper Regal Premium着迷了”。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.(正是这样的礼物和经历——通常花费很少或根本不花——改变了一个人的生活，并赋予它一种可能持续几十年的动力)”可推知，作者想要表达的信息是：有长期效果的礼物是更好的选择。故选B。 C From misremembering a movie quote to forgetting a vital ingredient from the shops for an evening dinner, the human memory is not always reliable. Now, researchers have discovered that sleep may play a key role in distorting (扭曲) memories, but perhaps in a good way. As part of this study, researchers from the University of York’s Department of Psychology tested 488 participants on their ability to recall a list of words 12 hours after seeing them, with some of the participants being allowed to sleep in the 12-hour period. They found that those who had slept remembered more of the words on the list than those who had not, but they were also more likely to give words that weren’t on the list, but were related. The related incorrect words are known as “lure words”. If a list contained words like nurse, hospital and sick, the false memories may include lure words like doctor. Dr Matthew Mak, first author of the study, said, “Participants may falsely recall the lure words because ‘doctor’ most probably represents the gist (要旨) of the word list, and humans are known to often rely on gist encoding.” Co-author Professor Gareth Gaskell added, “Memories in some ways are more about our future than our past. They exist to provide knowledge about our past that can be applied in a generalised way to help us to deal with future events. So a gist-like representation might actually be more useful than a ‘perfect’detailed representation. What sleep might be doing is helping us to store memories in a gist-like way that can then be better applied to our future interactions.” However, the researchers did recognize several limitations of their study, namely that all participants were aged between 18 and 25, and that the tests were performed online, meaning that other distractions (干扰) and environments could not be controlled. 8. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study? A. Its purpose. B. Its process. C. Its subject. D. Its finding. 9. What is Gaskell’s attitude to a gist-like representation? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 10. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. The tests make little sense. B. The study needs improving. C. The conclusion is satisfying. D. The participants are nervous. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Sleep May Bring About False Memories B. Old People Tend to Have Short Memories C. A Good Night’s Sleep Keeps Us Energetic D. Rising Early Delivers a Promising Start 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了英国约克大学的一项研究表明，睡眠可能会使我们产生错误的记忆。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“They found that those who had slept remembered more of the words on the list than those who had not, but they were also more likely to give words that weren’t on the list, but were related. The related incorrect words are known as “lure words”. If a list contained words like nurse, hospital and sick, the false memories may include lure words like doctor. (他们发现，那些睡过觉的人比那些没有睡过觉的人记住了更多的单词，但他们也更有可能给出不在列表中但相关的单词。相关的错误词被称为“诱饵词”。如果列表包含护士、医院和病人等词，则错误记忆可能包括医生等诱饵词。)”可知，本段主要讲述了该研究的发现，故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Co-author Professor Gareth Gaskell added, “Memories in some ways are more about our future than our past. They exist to provide knowledge about our past that can be applied in a generalised way to help us to deal with future events. So a gist-like representation might actually be more useful than a ‘perfect’detailed representation. What sleep might be doing is helping us to store memories in a gist-like way that can then be better applied to our future interactions.” (合著者Gareth Gaskell教授补充说：“在某些方面，记忆更多的是关于我们的未来，而不是我们的过去。它们的存在是为了提供有关我们过去的知识，这些知识可以以普遍的方式应用，以帮助我们应对未来的事件。因此，类似要点的表示实际上可能比“完美”的详细表示更有用。睡眠可能正在帮助我们以一种类似要点的方式存储记忆，然后可以更好地应用于我们未来的互动。”)”可知，Gareth Gaskell对概要式称述的态度是肯定的，故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the researchers did recognize several limitations of their study, namely that all participants were aged between 18 and 25, and that the tests were performed online, meaning that other distractions(干扰)and environments could not be controlled. (然而，研究人员确实认识到他们研究的几个局限性，即所有参与者的年龄都在18至25岁之间，并且测试是在线进行的，这意味着无法控制其他干扰和环境。)”可知，作者在最后一段中想说明该研究还有待进一步完善，故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段中“Now, researchers have discovered that sleep may play a key role in distorting(扭曲)memories, but perhaps in a good way. (现在，研究人员发现，睡眠可能在扭曲记忆中起关键作用，但也许是以一种好的方式。)”可知，本文主要介绍英语约克大学的一项研究结果——睡眠可能会使我们产生错误的记忆，故选A项。 D The human brain is a powerful natural computer that has evolved over tens of thousands of years. But what would you get if you combined this biological computer with a real one? Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington in the US have linked human brain-like tissues to an electronic chip, which can perform simple computer tasks. Their creation, named Brainoware, is part of a growing field called biological computing that might one day do better than current computers, according to Nature. The brain-like tissues the researchers used, also known as brain organoids (类器官), weren’t part of a living person’s brain. They were “grown” from human stem cells, which are capable of producing different types of cells and forming body tissues. It took two months for the stem cells to mature into an organoid. The researchers then placed one organoid onto an electronic chip with thousands of electrodes (电极). Although organoids are much simpler and smaller than an actual brain, they act similarly to human brains, such as responding to electrical signals, which is what our brain does all the time. These responses lead to changes in the brain, which fuel our ability to learn. To test Brainoware, the researchers used it for voice recognition by training it with 240 Japanese recordings spoken by eight speakers. They found that the organoid reacted differently toward each voice. With an accuracy of 78 percent, it successfully identifed the speakers by showing different neural (神经的) activities. What’s special about Brainoware is that researchers can take advantage of the organoid’s complexity without understanding its cell networks according to Daily Mail. In other words, scientists don’t need to know exactly how the organoid works in order to use it. According to the researchers’ work published in December, combining organoids and electronic chips could increase the speed and efficiency of AI in the future. Also, such models can be used to study human brains, according to Nature. Using Brainoware to model and study neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, is one example. It could also be used to test the effects of different treatments for such diseases. “That’s where the promise is: using these to one day hopefully replace animal models of the brain,” Arti Ahluwalia, a researcher in Italy, told Nature. 12. What do we know about the tissues used by the researchers? A. They were artificially constructed. B. They were harvested from dead human bodies. C. They formed a complete human brain. D. They were cultured from specific human cells. 13. What success did Brainoware achieve in the voice recognition test? A. Distinguishing the voices between speakers. B. Understanding the content of the recordings. C Showing preferences for some of the voices. D. Correctly matching all the speakers with their voices. 14. What makes Brainoware distinctive, according to Daily Mail? A. No in-depth knowledge of organoids is needed to use it. B. Its complexity is easy to learn and understand. C. It opens up new possibilities for studying human brains. D. Its cell networks are the same as those of human brains. 15. What does the last paragraph focus on regarding Brainoware? A. Its influence on AI technology. B. Its contribution to animal welfare. C. Its potential applications. D. Its underlying problems. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。美国印第安纳大学的研究团队开发了一种名为Brainoware的技术，将类似人脑的组织与电子芯片相结合，实现了简单的计算任务，如声音识别，为生物计算领域带来了新进展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“They were “grown” from human stem cells, which are capable of producing different types of cells and forming body tissues. (它们是从人类干细胞中“培养”出来的，这些干细胞能够产生不同类型的细胞并形成身体组织。)”可知，它们是从特定的人类细胞中培养出来的。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“They found that the organoid reacted differently toward each voice. With an accuracy of 78 percent, it successfully identifed the speakers by showing different neural (神经的) activities. (他们发现，类器官对每种声音的反应不同。它通过显示不同的神经活动，成功地识别了说话者，准确率达到了78%。)”可知，Brainoware 在声音识别测试中成功地区分了不同说话人的声音。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段中“What’s special about Brainoware is that researchers can take advantage of the organoid’s complexity without understanding its cell networks, according to Daily Mail. (据《每日邮报》报道，Brainoware的特别之处在于，研究人员可以在不了解细胞网络的情况下利用这种类器官的复杂性。)”可知，Brainoware 的独特之处在于不需要深入了解其细胞网络就能使用它。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“According to the researchers’ work published in December, combining organoids and electronic chips could increase the speed and efficiency of AI in the future. Also, such models can be used to study human brains, according to Nature. Using Brainoware to model and study neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, is one example. It could also be used to test the effects of different treatments for such diseases. “That’s where the promise is: using these to one day hopefully replace animal models of the brain,” Arti Ahluwalia, a researcher in Italy, told Nature. (根据研究人员去年12月发表的研究成果，将类器官和电子芯片结合起来，未来可以提高人工智能的速度和效率。此外，根据《自然》杂志的报道，这样的模型可以用来研究人类的大脑。使用brainware来模拟和研究神经系统疾病，如阿尔茨海默病，就是一个例子。它还可以用来测试对这类疾病的不同治疗方法的效果。意大利的研究人员Arti Ahluwalia在接受《自然》杂志采访时表示：“这就是前景所在:有一天，这些技术有望取代动物的大脑模型。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了Brainoware在未来可能的应用领域，包括用于研究神经系统疾病模型，以及可能替代动物实验等。因此，该段落的重点在于Brainoware的潜在应用。故选C。 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。 The Decluttering Philosophy That Keeps Your Home Organized When you sit at your desk, you may constantly be confronted by chaos. ____16____ Here an expert shares about some useful strategies to keep our messes at bay and her decluttering philosophy — getting rid of unnecessary possessions and distractions. ____17____ “What becomes clutter and where your clutter collects can say a lot about what’s going on with you.” Thus the first thing you should keep in mind is to understand your clutter. When you understand the reasons behind your clutter, it’s a lot easier to know what to keep and what to get rid of. When it comes to organizing, don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you start off with too big a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. ____18____ Instead, start with something less challenging. You can also work within short time restrictions. All in all, setting realistic goals and breaking tasks up into manageable portions can really help. Once you’ve chosen an area to declutter, make a list of everything you have in that space. Then comes the hardest part: figuring out what to get rid of. At this stage, please look at your items with neutral eyes. ____19____ Admittedly, it’s easy to be organized the day after decluttering, when tidiness is still top of mind. But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your luggage? Or when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up? ____20____ In other words, make a system that works for you even when you’ve got to work or when you’ve got a cold. A. Everyone’s clutter tells a personal story. B. So don’t restore your entire garage in one afternoon. C. The key is to create practices that can be easily maintained. D. It can help you let go of things you don’t need but feel attached. E. Comparatively speaking, the job taking shorter time will be easier to finish. F. At this time you may wonder how to clean up your space and keep it that way. G. If you are worried about these situations, you can delay your decluttering schedule. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. D 20.

It was Hampton Institute. The school was established to provide opportunities for poor but worthy students who could work out all or a part of the cost of board, and at the same time be taught some trade or industry. I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to school. I decided at once to go to that school. Finally the great day came and I started for Hampton. I had only a small, cheap bag that contained what few articles of clothing I could get. The distance from Malden to Hampton is about five hundred miles. I had not been away from home many hours before it began to grow painfully evident that I did not have enough money to pay my fare (路费) to Hampton. By walking and begging rides in some way, I finally reached the grounds of the Hampton Institute after a number of days, tired and dirty. As soon as possible after reaching, I presented myself before the head teacher for assignment to a class. Having been so long without proper food, a bath, and change of clothing, I was like a worthless loafer (游荡者). I did not, of course, make a very favourable impression upon her, and I could see at once that there were doubts in her mind about the wisdom of admitting me as a student. I tried to impress her in all the ways I could with my worthiness. How I wished that I could get a chance to show what was in me. After some time, the head teacher said to me, “The adjoining (隔壁的) classroom needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it.” 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。 It occurred to me at once that here was my chance. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The head teacher went into the room and inspected the floor and closets. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 It occurred to me at once that here was my chance. Never did I receive an order with more delight. I knew I could sweep, for my parents thoroughly taught me how to do that when I was young. I swept the room three times. Then I got a dusting-cloth and I dusted it four times. All the woodwork around the walls, every bench, table and desk, I went over four times with my dusting-cloth, I had the feeling that in a large measure my future depended upon the impression I made upon the teacher in the cleaning of that room. When I was through, I reported to her. The head teacher went into the room and inspected the floor and closets. Then she took her handkerchief and rubbed it on the woodwork about the walls, and over the table and benches. When she was unable to find one bit of dirt on the floor, or a particle of dust on any of the furniture, she quietly remarked, “I guess you will do to enter this institution.” I was one of the happiest souls on earth. The sweeping of that room was my college examination! I have passed several examinations since then, but I have always felt that this was the best one I had ever passed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者想要去一个为穷人开设的学校去上学，但是没能给班主任留下好印象。最终作者因为打扫教室一尘不染通过了班主任的测验，被成功认可。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我立刻想到，我的机会来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者认真打扫教室的经过以及完成后向班主任报告。 ②由第二段首句内容“校长走进房间，检查了地板和壁橱。”可知，第二段可描写班主任检查的结果以及作者被认可。 2.续写线索：意识到机会来了——认真打扫教室——完成——班主任检查——作者被认可——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打扫：sweep/clean/tidy up ②取决于：depend upon/lie on ③通过：pass/ get through 情绪类 ①快乐：happy/merry ②平静：quietly/calmly 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I was through, I reported to her.

She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity. With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name! I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the remaining half-century of my life. I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades. 4. Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present? A. She wanted to meet the child’s wish. B. She rewarded the girl for her good work. C. She gave gifts to every child in the town. D.

I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium. B. I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. C. I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. D. I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should work for others to get a gift. B. A gift with long-term effects is a better choice. C. Children need to receive a gift that they want. D. Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift. C From misremembering a movie quote to forgetting a vital ingredient from the shops for an evening dinner, the human memory is not always reliable. Now, researchers have discovered that sleep may play a key role in distorting (扭曲) memories, but perhaps in a good way. As part of this study, researchers from the University of York’s Department of Psychology tested 488 participants on their ability to recall a list of words 12 hours after seeing them, with some of the participants being allowed to sleep in the 12-hour period. They found that those who had slept remembered more of the words on the list than those who had not, but they were also more likely to give words that weren’t on the list, but were related. The related incorrect words are known as “lure words”. If a list contained words like nurse, hospital and sick, the false memories may include lure words like doctor. Dr Matthew Mak, first author of the study, said, “Participants may falsely recall the lure words because ‘doctor’ most probably represents the gist (要旨) of the word list, and humans are known to often rely on gist encoding.” Co-author Professor Gareth Gaskell added, “Memories in some ways are more about our future than our past. They exist to provide knowledge about our past that can be applied in a generalised way to help us to deal with future events. So a gist-like representation might actually be more useful than a ‘perfect’detailed representation. What sleep might be doing is helping us to store memories in a gist-like way that can then be better applied to our future interactions.” However, the researchers did recognize several limitations of their study, namely that all participants were aged between 18 and 25, and that the tests were performed online, meaning that other distractions (干扰) and environments could not be controlled. 8. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study? A. Its purpose. B. Its process. C. Its subject. D. Its finding. 9. What is Gaskell’s attitude to a gist-like representation? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 10. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. The tests make little sense. B. The study needs improving. C. The conclusion is satisfying. D. The participants are nervous. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Sleep May Bring About False Memories B. Old People Tend to Have Short Memories C. A Good Night’s Sleep Keeps Us Energetic D. Rising Early Delivers a Promising Start D The human brain is a powerful natural computer that has evolved over tens of thousands of years. But what would you get if you combined this biological computer with a real one? Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington in the US have linked human brain-like tissues to an electronic chip, which can perform simple computer tasks. Their creation, named Brainoware, is part of a growing field called biological computing that might one day do better than current computers, according to Nature. The brain-like tissues the researchers used, also known as brain organoids (类器官), weren’t part of a living person’s brain. They were “grown” from human stem cells, which are capable of producing different types of cells and forming body tissues. It took two months for the stem cells to mature into an organoid. The researchers then placed one organoid onto an electronic chip with thousands of electrodes (电极). Although organoids are much simpler and smaller than an actual brain, they act similarly to human brains, such as responding to electrical signals, which is what our brain does all the time. These responses lead to changes in the brain, which fuel our ability to learn. To test Brainoware, the researchers used it for voice recognition by training it with 240 Japanese recordings spoken by eight speakers. They found that the organoid reacted differently toward each voice. With an accuracy of 78 percent, it successfully identifed the speakers by showing different neural (神经的) activities. What’s special about Brainoware is that researchers can take advantage of the organoid’s complexity without understanding its cell networks, according to Daily Mail. In other words, scientists don’t need to know exactly how the organoid works in order to use it. According to the researchers’ work published in December, combining organoids and electronic chips could increase the speed and efficiency of AI in the future. Also, such models can be used to study human brains, according to Nature. Using Brainoware to model and study neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, is one example. It could also be used to test the effects of different treatments for such diseases. “That’s where the promise is: using these to one day hopefully replace animal models of the brain,” Arti Ahluwalia, a researcher in Italy, told Nature. 12. What do we know about the tissues used by the researchers? A. They were artificially constructed. B. They were harvested from dead human bodies. C. They formed a complete human brain. D. They were cultured from specific human cells. 13. What success did Brainoware achieve in the voice recognition test? A. Distinguishing the voices between speakers. B. Understanding the content of the recordings. C. Showing preferences for some of the voices. D. Correctly matching all the speakers with their voices. 14. What makes Brainoware distinctive, according to Daily Mail? A. No in-depth knowledge of organoids is needed to use it. B. Its complexity is easy to learn and understand. C. It opens up new possibilities for studying human brains. D. Its cell networks are the same as those of human brains. 15. What does the last paragraph focus on regarding Brainoware? A. Its influence on AI technology. B. Its contribution to animal welfare. C. Its potential applications. D. Its underlying problems. 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。 The Decluttering Philosophy That Keeps Your Home Organized When you sit at your desk, you may constantly be confronted by chaos. ____16____ Here an expert shares about some useful strategies to keep our messes at bay and her decluttering philosophy — getting rid of unnecessary possessions and distractions. ____17____ “What becomes clutter and where your clutter collects can say a lot about what’s going on with you.” Thus the first thing you should keep in mind is to understand your clutter. When you understand the reasons behind your clutter, it’s a lot easier to know what to keep and what to get rid of. When it comes to organizing, don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you start off with too big a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. ____18____ Instead, start with something less challenging. You can also work within short time restrictions. All in all, setting realistic goals and breaking tasks up into manageable portions can really help. Once you’ve chosen an area to declutter, make a list of everything you have in that space. Then comes the hardest part: figuring out what to get rid of. At this stage, please look at your items with neutral eyes. ____19____ Admittedly it’s easy to be organized the day after decluttering, when tidiness is still top of mind. But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your luggage? Or when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up? ____20____ In other words, make a system that works for you even when you’ve got to work or when you’ve got a cold. A. Everyone’s clutter tells a personal story. B. So don’t restore your entire garage in one afternoon. C. The key is to create practices that can be easily maintained. D. It can help you let go of things you don’t need but feel attached. E. Comparatively speaking the job taking shorter time will be easier to finish. F. At this time you may wonder how to clean up your space and keep it that way. G. If you are worried about these situations, you can delay your decluttering schedule. 第二部分语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every Saturday we trained with the same marathon running club.

It was Hampton Institute. The school was established to provide opportunities for poor but worthy students who could work out all or a part of the cost of board, and at the same time be taught some trade or industry. I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to school. I decided at once to go to that school. Finally the great day came and I started for Hampton. I had only a small, cheap bag that contained what few articles of clothing I could get. The distance from Malden to Hampton is about five hundred miles. I had not been away from home many hours before it began to grow painfully evident that I did not have enough money to pay my fare (路费) to Hampton. By walking and begging rides in some way, I finally reached the grounds of the Hampton Institute after a number of days, tired and dirty. As soon as possible after reaching, I presented myself before the head teacher for assignment to a class. Having been so long without proper food, a bath, and change of clothing, I was like a worthless loafer (游荡者). I did not, of course, make a very favourable impression upon her, and I could see at once that there were doubts in her mind about the wisdom of admitting me as a student. I tried to impress her in all the ways I could with my worthiness. How I wished that I could get a chance to show what was in me. After some time, the head teacher said to me, “The adjoining (隔壁的) classroom needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it.” 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。 It occurred to me at once that here was my chance. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The head teacher went into the room and inspected the floor and closets. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
