The main reason is a lack of food caused by disturbance to ocean conditions from global heating and competition from the commercial fishing industry. According to a study, scientists have identified a possible additional cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further prevents the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine (海洋的) ships in a bay. Since 2016, a new shipping practice has started at Algoa Bay. The bay offers ship-to-ship refueling for ships anchored offshore. Since the start of this practice, marine traffic in the bay has doubled. The number of bulk carriers (散货船) pulling into the bay has increased by ten times as much. Thus the noise levels in the area had doubled and the population of penguins has dropped sharply. High noise levels affect the ability of marine animals to find food, communicate or navigate properly. Researchers used data from ship identification tools to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. They also attached underwater microphones and accelerometers (感应器) to some of the penguins. Recording the noise will tell researchers what the penguins are hearing, if they’re talking while hunting, if they’re changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out their hunting conversations. This will allow researchers to determine whether the sound disturbance is a direct cause of the penguins’ ongoing difficulties in finding sufficient food. The study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on seabirds and the consequences of offshore shipping activities on underwater noise levels. Experts are considering proposing various global best-practice approaches to reduce some of the impacts of noise pollution, such as policies that limit the number and size of ships allowed into a bay of this kind. “We also need more scientific monitoring of noise, before these measures are put in place and afterward, so that we have a proper understanding of what works.” a researcher said. 4. What is caused by the noise pollution? A. The penguins’ lack of food. B. The penguins’ proper navigation. C. People’s communication disability. D. The commercial competition. 5. Why did scientists attach microphones to penguins? A. Because they wanted to study the way of relieving marine traffic pressure. B. Because they could determine and analyze the source of ocean noise pollution C. Because it helped to calculate underwater noise levels caused by different ships. D. Because the impact of ocean on penguins’ hunting behavior could be found. 6. How can the noise pollution be reduced? A. By exploring the real effects of ocean traffic. B. By restricting the ships to go into the bay. C. By banning all the offshore shipping activities. D. By increasing ship-to-ship refueling activities. 7. What will researchers probably do next? A. Evaluate the risk of the noise. B. Establish a monitoring system. C. Put the measures in place. D. Try to understand what happens. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究表明海湾中船只的噪音污染进一步阻碍了企鹅寻找食物。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“According to a study, scientists have identified a possible additional cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further prevents the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine (海洋的)ships in a bay. (根据一项研究，科学家们已经确定了一个可能的额外原因，这是一个全新的威胁，进一步阻碍了企鹅寻找食物：海湾中船只的噪音污染)”可知噪音污染会引起企鹅缺乏食物，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Recording the noise will tell researchers what the penguins are hearing, if they’re talking while hunting, if they’re changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out their hunting conversations. This will allow researchers to determine whether the sound disturbance is a direct cause of the penguins’ ongoing difficulties in finding sufficient food.(记录噪音可以告诉研究人员企鹅听到了什么，它们在狩猎时是否在说话，它们是否会因噪音而改变动作，以及噪音是否淹没了它们的狩猎对话。这将使研究人员能够确定声音干扰是否是企鹅在寻找足够食物方面持续困难的直接原因)”可知，科学家给企鹅安装麦克风是因为可以发现海洋对企鹅狩猎行为的影响，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Experts are considering proposing various global best-practice approaches to reduce some of the impacts of noise pollution, such as policies that limit the number and size of ships allowed into a bay of this kind. (专家们正在考虑提出各种全球最佳实践方法，以减少噪音污染的一些影响，例如限制允许进入此类海湾的船只数量和尺寸的政策)”可知，可以通过限制船只进入海湾减少噪音污染，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We also need more scientific monitoring of noise, before these measures are put in place and afterward, so that we have a proper understanding of what works. (在采取这些措施之前和之后，我们还需要对噪音进行更科学的监测，这样我们才能正确地了解什么是有效的)”可知，研究人员接下来可能会建立监控系统，故选B。 C Medha Pappula, an eighth-grader at Brambleton Middle School, is using her skill set to solve a problem — bullying（霸凌）. She recently earned an award (获奖) from National Bullying Prevention Center (NBPC) for her anti-bullying efforts in software development and animation (动画). Pappula, 13, said she discovered that a classmate had experienced cyberbullying（网络霸凌）, which was painful for her to learn about. “Even though I didn’t experience it, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, even my worst enemy,” Pappula said. Then she developed a program that recognizes when digital and text-based messages include bullying language. The program takes a message, and then recognizes signs of bullying and gives a rating to the cyberbullying, the teen said. If the rating is high, she said, “the program can be used to carry out things like removing that message or reporting it.” Pappula first designed and tested the program for Discord, a popular community-based messaging platform (平台), and said she plans to develop it for even bigger platforms like Facebook and Twitter. In addition to this program, the NBPC awarded Pappula for a three-minute animated video about Unity Day, which she created and shared on YouTube last October. Unity Day, according to the video, was started by the NBPC in 2011 to raise bullying awareness among school-age children. Schools encourage their students to wear orange on Unity Day, as it is “a color that is connected with safety,” the website reads. Pappula visited different websites to develop her animation skills several years ago. She spent more than a month creating her 2-D animated video using an animation software called Krita. The effort paid off, as nearly 6,000 people have already viewed the “Unity Day” video on YouTube. Along with being posted to the NBPC webpage, her animation was also shared by Cartoon Network. Moving forward, Pappula hopes to continue to work with the NBPC and to use her skills to lift those around her. 8. How did Pappula feel about bullying? A. It upset her life a lot. B. It could be stopped easily. C. It happened online most often. D. It shouldn’t happen to anyone. 9. How does Pappula’s program work? A. By sending voice messages. B. By removing useless messages. C. By sending its users important reports. D. By grading messages according to the language used. 10. What did Pappula do to make the animated video? A. She asked the NBPC for help. B. She taught herself animation. C. She learned from an expert. D. She created Krita. 11. Which word can best describe Pappula? A. Honest. B. Caring. C. Polite. D. Proud. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了善良的女孩Pappula致力于解决网络欺凌问题的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Pappula, 13, said she discovered that a classmate had experienced cyberbullying（网络霸凌）, which was painful for her to learn about. “Even though I didn’t experience it, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, even my worst enemy,” Pappula said.(13岁的Pappula说，她发现一位同学经历过网络欺凌，这让她很痛苦。Pappula说：“尽管我没有经历过，但我不希望发生在任何人身上，即使是我最大的敌人。”)”可知，Pappula不希望网络欺凌发生在任何人身上。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The program takes a message, and then recognizes signs of bullying and gives a rating to the cyberbullying, the teen said.(这名青少年说，该程序接收信息，然后识别欺凌的迹象，并对网络欺凌进行评级。)”可知，该程序就是通过给接收到的信息评级来运行的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Pappula visited different websites to develop her animation skills several years ago. She spent more than a month creating her 2-D animated video using an animation software called Krita.(几年前，Pappula访问了不同的网站来发展她的动画技能。她花了一个多月的时间使用一个名为Krita的动画软件制作了她的二维动画视频。)”可知，Pappula通过自学学会了动画视频制作。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Medha Pappula, an eighth-grader at Brambleton Middle School, is using her skill set to solve a problem — bullying.(Brambleton中学八年级学生Medha Pappula正在用她的技能解决一个问题——欺凌。)”可知，Pappula是一个很善良、关心他人的青少年，她致力于用自身所学解决网络欺凌问题。故选B项。 D Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result--but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension. The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both at the University of Chicago, and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing. According to this-view, we have two ways of assessing information. System 1 is intuitive (直觉的), relying on natural ability and feeling. It is quick, but likely exposed to misinformation. System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step. For decades, psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using. As one example, consider the/ following question: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark (方舟)? If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process. Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form-seeing vs. hearing-of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: when answering these kinds of simple questions, participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud, rather than written. A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study. For this reason. I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break. 12. What does the author think of listening to audiobooks? A. It is economical. B. It is demanding. C. It is time-consuming. D. It is relaxing. 13. Which of the following best describes System 2 model? A. Fairly reliable. B. Fully automatic. C. Question-centered. D. Emotion-involved. 14. Why is the Ark mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a view. C. To introduce a topic. D. To draw a conclusion. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Listening to books comes at a price. B. Reading non-fiction books benefits. C. Critical thinking is a must in reading. D. Ways of processing information differ. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要围绕作者使用有声书作为阅读方式的经历和体验展开，并引入了一项关于信息处理方式的研究，以此为基础探讨了有声书对阅读理解可能产生的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting.(像许多人一样，在过去的几年里，我发现自己把有声读物作为阅读文学作品的主要手段。我发现在眼睛休息的时候“用耳朵阅读”要舒服得多。)”以及最后一段“But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.(但我不会停止听小说。当我的批判性思维得到休息时，我很高兴随自己的情绪流动而去。)”可知，作者认为听有声读物会让人放松。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step.(系统2是分析性的，涉及逻辑推理的使用。这是精神上的要求。当它参与时，我们一步一步地思考材料。)”可知，System 2涉及使用逻辑推理进行信息处理，它要求精神上的努力，通过一步一步地思考材料来得出结论。因此，System 2的结果相对可靠得多。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As one example, consider the/ following question: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark（方舟）? If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process.(举个例子，考虑下面的问题：摩西带了多少种动物上了方舟？如果你回答了两个，你可能只考虑了问题的核心，即系统1思维。为了得到正确的答案——零，你需要更仔细地思考措辞，这将使你记住是诺亚建造了方舟，而不是摩西。这是一种分析过程。)”可知，作者提到方舟是为了举例说明一个观点，即System 1和System 2在处理信息时的不同方式。通过提出“摩西在方舟上带了多少种动物？”的问题，并解释正确答案是如何通过更仔细地考虑措辞得出的，作者展示了System 2涉及的逻辑推理过程。因此，方舟的提及是为了阐明关于信息处理方式的观点。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者通过分享自己使用有声书作为阅读方式的经历，以及引入关于信息处理方式的研究，意在表明听书可能会带来理解上的代价。文章提到，尽管听书让作者增加了阅读量，但研究结果显示，听书在处理某些信息时可能不如阅读书面材料准确。特别是对于那些需要逻辑研究的信息，听书可能导致更多的错误。因此，作者认为听书是有代价的，特别是在理解方面。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Kala has deep ties to her Hawaiian roots. Her ancestors navigated(航行)the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars, the sun, the currents and the wind. ____16____ . It’s not that she navigates without technology. Rather, she uses the natural technology around her. It’s called Wayfinding, and it was taught to her by her father. ____17____ . He also taught her how to use them to hold the course. Over 200 stars have specific names and purposes when they are Wayfinding. They have to look at each of the stars and determine if they are rising or setting. During the day, Kala uses the sun until it hits a certain height. ____18____ , she looks for certain species of land birds and stationary clouds that indicate there is land below. When Kala sails, she feels “very connected to my past and where I came from. I feel very connected to the crew and the canoe. We’re a family.” The voyage from California to Hawaii required Kala to spend long hours studying the day and the night skies. ____19____ . But it also had its moments of awe. For Kala, the beauty is in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment. So, when she is not sailing, she teaches Wayfinding skills to school-aged children in hopes of preserving the skills her ancestors relied on. ____20____ . But if we take the time to look up, to see the stars and the sun, the way the clouds move, the miracle of life beneath and above us, we will discover something deep inside us, something that will always lead to happiness. A. Today, she does the same B. When she gets closer to land C. It was demanding, physical work D. When she got the hang of sailing on the sea E. It was a traditional technique that uses nature F. He taught her how to read the stars and the waves G. Nowadays, it’s easy to get lost in modern screens and miss the nature around us 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. B 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了卡拉利用老辈子传下来的观测技术, 通过自然现象判断航向和天气, 完成了从加利福尼亚到夏威夷的航行。 【16题详解】 上文“Her ancestors navigated the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars, the sun, the currents and the wind.(她的祖先利用他们对恒星、太阳、洋流和风的了解，在海洋中航行了几个世纪)”以及下文“It’s not that she navigates without technology. Rather, she uses the natural technology around her. (这并不是说她在没有技术的情况下导航。相反，她使用了周围的自然技术)”可知，不仅卡拉的祖先利用恒星、太阳等自然技术进行航行，卡拉也使用了自然技术航行，说明A项“今天, 她做着同样的事情”，起到了承上启下的作用，符合句意。故选A项。 【17题详解】 上文“It’s called Wayfinding, and it was taught to her by her father.(这叫做寻路，是她父亲教给她的)”说明他父亲交给她寻路的技能，F项“他教她如何阅读星星和波浪”中的he指代的上文中的her father，和上文构成内容的顺承关系。故选F项。 【18题详解】 下文“she looks for certain species of land birds and stationary clouds that indicate there is land below. (她寻找某些种类的陆地鸟类和静止的云层，这些云层表明下面有陆地)”可知, 她根据鸟的种类和不动的云朵来判断是否是陆地, 这种方法是靠近陆地的时候采用的。B项“当她靠近陆地的时候”符合语境，和下文构成内容上的衔接。故选B项。 【19题详解】 上文“The voyage from California to Hawaii required Kala to spend long hours studying the day and the night skies. (从加利福尼亚到夏威夷的航行需要卡拉花很长时间研究白天和夜晚的天空)”暗示出利用天象判断航向需要花很长时间, 推断出这是一个苦差事, C项“这是一项繁重的体力劳动”中的it指代上句内容，是对上文内容的承接，同时和下文“But it also had its moments of awe. (但它也有令人惊叹的时刻)”构成转折关系。故选C项。 【20题详解】 下文“But if we take the time to look up, to see the stars and the sun, the way the clouds move, the miracle of life beneath and above us, we will discover something deep inside us, something that will always lead to happiness.(但是，如果我们花时间抬头看看，看看星星和太阳，看看云的移动方式，看看我们身下和身上的生命奇迹，我们就会发现我们内心深处的一些东西，一些永远会带来幸福的东西)”说明我们应该花时间观察自然这样才能发现一些带来幸福的东西，由but可知，空格处和下文构成转折关系，空格处的内容应该是对这些好处的忽略。G项“如今, 我们很容易迷失在现代化的屏幕中, 错过我们周围的大自然”与下文语义转折, 衔接合理。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The first time I paid by scanning barcodes (条形码) on goods, I ended up paying 40 yuan ($5.8) more than I should have.

One morning in November 2021, Swift opened her front door in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Milo took off running. Milo ran to the house across the street. He seemed unsatisfied with this house, so he ran to the one next door, Swift on his tail. He started scratching on the front door and Swift was thinking, “Why is he literally trying to break into her house?” She was embarrassed. Not everyone wants a strange dog on their property. But as she tried to drag Milo away, she could hear a sound coming through an open upstairs window. It was a voice yelling “Help!” Hours earlier, around 4 a.m., 85-year-old Sherry Starr had risen from her bed. All of a sudden, standing there between the toilet and the tub, she slipped. She went down-hard-on the tile floor, and got stuck. Starr was scared of dying there. Her best bet, she decided, was to listen for the letter carrier in the afternoon and scream like the devils. 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。 For the next few hours, Starr practiced yelling, “Help! Help! Help!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Not long after the call, rescue workers arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 For the next few hours, Starr practiced yelling, “Help! Help! Help!” Her voice was very faint. However, Milo the beagle, apparently heard Starr the instant Swift opened her front door. He rapidly rushed to the opposite house, while Swift was confused and embarrassed. It was a strange sense that hit Swift and reminded her something abnormal had happened. Without thinking twice, Swift called 911. Not long after the call, rescue workers arrived. They thought they had to remove the toilet to remove Starr, but in their last effort, they gave one pull and fortunately, out she popped. Starr burst into tears, feeling grateful and a sense of relief. Subsequently, Starr was sent to the hospital, where she underwent a general check-up and was diagnosed with a mild ankle sprain. When told it was Milo the beagle who had given her a second life, Starr declared: “That dog was a blessing.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Milo是一只救援犬，被20岁的Makayla Swift收养。某天邻居家85岁的Sherry Starr在家里滑倒了，Milo听到后冲到了她房子里，最终在救援人员的帮助下，Starr被成功救出。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几个小时里，Starr练习大喊：‘救命！救命！救命！’”可知，第一段可描写Starr的呼救声被狗听到，Swift赶来帮助她。 ②由第二段首句内容“接到电话后不久，救援人员赶到了。”可知，第二段可描写Starr得救后的事情，Starr被送往医院，得知是Milo救了自己，感慨不已。 2.续写线索：大喊——Milo听见——Swift帮助——救出Starr——送往医院——Starr感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 叫喊：yell/scream 冲向：rush to/hurry to 经历：undertake/experience 情绪类 显然：apparently /obliviously 感谢：grateful /thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] However, Milo the beagle, apparently heard Starr the instant Swift opened her front door.

B The African penguin is expected to go extinct in the wild in just over a decade, given its current population decline. The main reason is a lack of food caused by disturbance to ocean conditions from global heating and competition from the commercial fishing industry. According to a study, scientists have identified a possible additional cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further prevents the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine (海洋的) ships in a bay. Since 2016, a new shipping practice has started at Algoa Bay. The bay offers ship-to-ship refueling for ships anchored offshore. Since the start of this practice, marine traffic in the bay has doubled. The number of bulk carriers (散货船) pulling into the bay has increased by ten times as much. Thus the noise levels in the area had doubled and the population of penguins has dropped sharply. High noise levels affect the ability of marine animals to find food, communicate or navigate properly. Researchers used data from ship identification tools to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. They also attached underwater microphones and accelerometers (感应器) to some of the penguins. Recording the noise will tell researchers what the penguins are hearing, if they’re talking while hunting, if they’re changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out their hunting conversations. This will allow researchers to determine whether the sound disturbance is a direct cause of the penguins’ ongoing difficulties in finding sufficient food. The study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on seabirds and the consequences of offshore shipping activities on underwater noise levels. Experts are considering proposing various global best-practice approaches to reduce some of the impacts of noise pollution, such as policies that limit the number and size of ships allowed into a bay of this kind. “We also need more scientific monitoring of noise, before these measures are put in place and afterward, so that we have a proper understanding of what works.” a researcher said. 4. What is caused by the noise pollution? A. The penguins’ lack of food. B. The penguins’ proper navigation. C. People’s communication disability. D. The commercial competition. 5. Why did scientists attach microphones to penguins? A. Because they wanted to study the way of relieving marine traffic pressure. B. Because they could determine and analyze the source of ocean noise pollution C. Because it helped to calculate underwater noise levels caused by different ships. D. Because the impact of ocean on penguins’ hunting behavior could be found. 6. How can the noise pollution be reduced? A. By exploring the real effects of ocean traffic. B. By restricting the ships to go into the bay. C. By banning all the offshore shipping activities. D. By increasing ship-to-ship refueling activities. 7. What will researchers probably do next? A. Evaluate the risk of the noise. B. Establish a monitoring system. C. Put the measures in place. D. Try to understand what happens. C Medha Pappula, an eighth-grader at Brambleton Middle School, is using her skill set to solve a problem — bullying（霸凌）. She recently earned an award (获奖) from National Bullying Prevention Center (NBPC) for her anti-bullying efforts in software development and animation (动画). Pappula, 13, said she discovered that a classmate had experienced cyberbullying（网络霸凌）, which was painful for her to learn about. “Even though I didn’t experience it, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, even my worst enemy,” Pappula said. Then she developed a program that recognizes when digital and text-based messages include bullying language. The program takes a message, and then recognizes signs of bullying and gives a rating to the cyberbullying, the teen said. If the rating is high, she said, “the program can be used to carry out things like removing that message or reporting it.” Pappula first designed and tested the program for Discord, a popular community-based messaging platform (平台), and said she plans to develop it for even bigger platforms like Facebook and Twitter. In addition to this program, the NBPC awarded Pappula for a three-minute animated video about Unity Day, which she created and shared on YouTube last October. Unity Day, according to the video, was started by the NBPC in 2011 to raise bullying awareness among school-age children. Schools encourage their students to wear orange on Unity Day, as it is “a color that is connected with safety,” the website reads. Pappula visited different websites to develop her animation skills several years ago. She spent more than a month creating her 2-D animated video using an animation software called Krita. The effort paid off, as nearly 6,000 people have already viewed the “Unity Day” video on YouTube. Along with being posted to the NBPC webpage, her animation was also shared by Cartoon Network. Moving forward, Pappula hopes to continue to work with the NBPC and to use her skills to lift those around her. 8. How did Pappula feel about bullying? A. It upset her life a lot. B. It could be stopped easily. C. It happened online most often. D. It shouldn’t happen to anyone. 9. How does Pappula’s program work? A. By sending voice messages. B. By removing useless messages. C. By sending its users important reports. D. By grading messages according to the language used. 10. What did Pappula do to make the animated video? A. She asked the NBPC for help. B. She taught herself animation. C. She learned from an expert. D. She created Krita. 11. Which word can best describe Pappula? A. Honest. B. Caring. C. Polite. D. Proud. D Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result--but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension. The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both at the University of Chicago, and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing. According to this-view, we have two ways of assessing information. System 1 is intuitive (直觉的), relying on natural ability and feeling. It is quick, but likely exposed to misinformation. System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step. For decades, psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using. As one example, consider the/ following question: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark (方舟)? If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process. Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form-seeing vs. hearing-of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: when answering these kinds of simple questions, participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud, rather than written. A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study. For this reason. I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break. 12. What does the author think of listening to audiobooks? A. It is economical. B. It is demanding. C. It is time-consuming. D. It is relaxing. 13. Which of the following best describes System 2 model? A. Fairly reliable. B. Fully automatic. C. Question-centered. D. Emotion-involved. 14. Why is the Ark mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a view. C. To introduce a topic. D. To draw a conclusion. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Listening to books comes at a price. B. Reading non-fiction books benefits. C. Critical thinking is a must in reading. D.

But Milo the beagle is also a rescuer. One morning in November 2021, Swift opened her front door in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Milo took off running. Milo ran to the house across the street. He seemed unsatisfied with this house, so he ran to the one next door, Swift on his tail. He started scratching on the front door and Swift was thinking, “Why is he literally trying to break into her house?” She was embarrassed. Not everyone wants a strange dog on their property. But as she tried to drag Milo away, she could hear a sound coming through an open upstairs window. It was a voice yelling “Help!” Hours earlier, around 4 a.m., 85-year-old Sherry Starr had risen from her bed. All of a sudden, standing there between the toilet and the tub, she slipped. She went down-hard-on the tile floor, and got stuck. Starr was scared of dying there. Her best bet, she decided, was to listen for the letter carrier in the afternoon and scream like the devils. 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。 For the next few hours, Starr practiced yelling, “Help! Help! Help!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Not long after the call, rescue workers arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 CACCA 6—10 AABBA 11—15 ABABC 16—20 BCBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
