It’s September 1994. Imagine a forest ranger (护林员) walking in the wilderness. His name is David Noble. He climbs down to a remote deep valley and sees something that he will never forget. In front of him is a strange forest of unusual trees. The tallest are almost 40 meters high, and the base diameter (底部直径) of their trunks is about one meter. The trees do not have the leaves that we usually see and look a bit like giant ferns (蕨类植物) with green branches. Deeply impressed by the unusual trees, David picks up a dry branch from the ground and puts it in his backpack. He stays under these strange trees for a while and then continues his hike. David’s chance finding that day became one of the most significant botanical finds in 100 years, as the ancient tree species was thought to be extinct millions of years ago. In fact, it is so unbelievably rare that it has since been compared with finding a small dinosaur still alive on Earth. So there are ancient dinosaur trees in Wollemi National Park. The tree is named Wollemia Nobilis. The Park takes immediate action to protect the trees. Only a few researchers are allowed to see them. They are taken to the deep valley by helicopter, and before they get there, their eyes are covered. Crowds of visitors will no doubt destroy the trees, but natural disasters, for example, forest fires, can also threaten them. We are now in 2024, and the Wollemia environmental protection effort is in full swing. Wollemia seeds are on sale. Young Wollemias pop up in homes, gardens and parks around the world. Those who want to see the endangered species don’t have to search for their natural habitat. Instead, they can see the trees in parks closer to home. 4. What makes David pay special attention to the trees? A. Their habitat. B. Their size. C. Their history. D. Their features. 5. Why is the discovery of Wollemia Nobilis considered important? A. It is regarded as the most precious plant. B. It was believed to be an extinct species. C. It looks much more like a small dinosaur. D. It has grown in the deep valley for centuries. 6. What action does the Park take to protect the trees? A. Employing strict access measures. B. Permitting nobody to enter their habitat. C. Encouraging researchers to clone them. D. Relocating the trees to prevent forest fires. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Timeless Trees: An Australian Mystery B. The Hidden Forest: Discovered in Australia C. Lost and Found: Australia’s Prehistoric Survivor D. Ancient Ferns: A Discovery in Australia’s Wild 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了护林员David Noble在1994年在沃勒米国家公园发现了一种被认为已灭绝的古老树种——凤尾杉。这一发现极为重要，公园采取了保护措施。到了2024年，凤尾杉已经被广泛种植，使得这种濒危物种在世界各地的公园中得以被观赏。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The tallest are almost 40 meters high, and the base diameter (底部直径) of their trunks is about one meter. The trees do not have the leaves that we usually see and look a bit like giant ferns (蕨类植物) with green branches. (最高的将近40米高，树干底部直径约为1米。这些树没有我们通常看到的叶子，看起来有点像长着绿色树枝的巨大蕨类植物)”可知，这些树与众不同的特征让David特别注意到它们。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“David’s chance finding that day became one of the most significant botanical finds in 100 years, as the ancient tree species was thought to be extinct millions of years ago. (David那天的偶然发现成为100年来最重要的植物学发现之一，因为这种古老的树种被认为在数百万年前就灭绝了)”可知，凤尾杉的发现被认为重要的原因在于它被认为是一种灭绝的物种。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Park takes immediate action to protect the trees. Only a few researchers are allowed to see them. They are taken to the deep valley by helicopter, and before they get there, their eyes are covered. (公园立即采取行动保护树木。只有少数研究人员可以看到它们。他们被直升机带到深谷，在他们到达之前，他们的眼睛被遮住)”可知，该公园采用严格的准入措施，以保护该树种。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“David’s chance finding that day became one of the most significant botanical finds in 100 years, as the ancient tree species was thought to be extinct millions of years ago. In fact, it is so unbelievably rare that it has since been compared with finding a small dinosaur still alive on Earth. (David那天的偶然发现成为100年来最重要的植物学发现之一，因为这种古老的树种被认为在数百万年前就灭绝了。事实上，它是如此罕见，以至于人们把它与在地球上发现一种仍然活着的小恐龙相提并论)”可知，文章围绕凤尾杉展开，介绍了这一被认为已灭绝的古老树种的发现、保护和繁盛的情况。因此，C项“遗失与发现：澳大利亚的史前幸存者”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C In 1998, I headed from a small town in South Wales to Sheffield University. Sheffield, the UK’s fourth biggest city, had it all — clubs, bars, and theaters. It was a huge contrast to my hometown, which hadn’t had a cinema until 1997. Sheffield had various choices — I thought I’d love it. But I missed the Wye Valley occasionally. Over time, I settled. Now I’ve lived in Sheffield longer than in my hometown. Yet no matter how happy I am in my adopted city, there’s always a desire to return to Wales. The simple answer is that the idea of home doesn’t necessarily relate to time spent in a place — instead, it is about a special connection and a feeling of safety. “Homesickness usually comes from being somewhere that doesn’t quite feel like home,” says psychologist Wendy Dignan. “As humans, we create a safe zone (地带). Some people may not be particularly attached (依恋) to a place, so they always feel safe. However, others’ safe zone might be a particular place, a home, or a familiar person, the absence of which may lead to homesıckness.” There are things you can help yourself if you are struggling with homesickness. Dignan suggests going to the same coffee shop or gym at a certain time to build a pattern of familiarity because, it is a useful tool for overcoming homesickness and building that all-important safe zone. When so much in our lives is unpredictable, it is no surprise that we crave safe zone. I’m fortunate to have a loving family, supportive friends, and a comfortable home in Sheffield, but however much I love my life here, there’s an inner part of me that will forever be in Wales. 8. Which word can best describe the author’s hometown? A. Underdeveloped. B. Well-designed. C. Well-known. D. Overpopulated. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The different types of safe zones. B. The cause for people’s homesickness. C. The value of overcoming homesickness. D. Psychological impacts of homesickness. 10. What does the underlined word “crave” mean in paragraph 4? A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Support. D. Desire. 11. What can we know from the author’s experience? A. Love often begins in our hometown. B. Homesickness can be easily avoided. C. Hometown means a sense of belonging. D. Never should we leave our hometown. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者离开家乡后，非常想念家乡，后来在心理学家的帮助下，作者慢慢克服了思乡症。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sheffield, the UK’s fourth biggest city, had it all — clubs, bars, and theaters. It was a huge contrast to my hometown, which hadn’t had a cinema until 1997.  (谢菲尔德是英国第四大城市，拥有一切——俱乐部、酒吧和剧院。这与我的家乡形成了巨大的对比，我的家乡直到1997年才有电影院) ”可知，作者的家乡欠发达。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, others’ safe zone might be a particular place, a home, or a familiar person, the absence of which may lead to homesıckness. (然而，其他人的安全区可能是一个特定的地方，一个家，或一个熟悉的人，没有这些可能会导致思乡症) ”可知，本段主要介绍了导致思乡症的原因。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Dignan suggests going to the same coffee shop or gym at a certain time to build a pattern of familiarity because, it is a useful tool for overcoming homesickness and building that all-important safe zone. (Dignan建议在特定的时间去同一家咖啡店或健身房，建立一种熟悉的模式，因为这是克服思乡症和建立最重要的安全区的有用工具) ”可知，前文讲述了在某个地方建立熟悉模式，建立重要的安全区来克服思想症，因此推断画线句句意为：当我们的生活中有如此多的事情是不可预测的时候，我们渴望安全区也就不足为奇了。画线词与D项意思相近，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The simple answer is that the idea of home doesn’t necessarily relate to time spent in a place—instead, it is about a special connection and a feeling of safety. (简单的回答是，家的概念并不一定与在一个地方度过的时间有关，相反，它是一种特殊的联系和一种安全感。) ”以及最后一段“I’m fortunate to have a loving family, supportive friends, and a comfortable home in Sheffield, but however much I love my life here, there’s an inner part of me that will forever be in Wales.( 我很幸运，在谢菲尔德有一个充满爱的家庭、支持我的朋友和一个舒适的家，但无论我多么热爱这里的生活，我内心的一部分将永远留在威尔士。)”可知，从作者的经历可推断，家乡意味着一种归属感。故选C。 D The advantage of printed texts over digital ones has been seen in many previous studies, and education psychologists even have a name for the phenomenon: the “screen inferiority effect”, which refers to the phenomenon where students, and others, seem to understand more when reading printed texts. However, by and large, previous studies have compared print reading to reading on a computer screen, not the handheld devices modern students use for most of their reading. Ladislao Salmerón, a researcher of educational psychology at the University of Valencia in Spain, and his workmates wanted to see if the screen inferiority effect occurs if you focus on handheld devices. So they searched existing studies and analyzed only data sets comparing print reading to reading on handheld devices. Finally, they looked at dozens of studies, pooling results from more than 100,000 students. As with previous research, they found students who read printed texts constantly performed slightly better. Although small, Salmerón stresses, the effect observed could be of great significance. “In explaining this, we must consider that children in schools read every day, he says. “So this effect could be built up over time.” Some scientists are trying to understand the reasons for the screen inferiority effect. One theory called the shallowing hypothesis (假说) assumes that when reading on digital devices, people are generally doing so for short periods of time and reading short pieces of text, causing them to be less efficient. Another theory holds that feeling each page and remembering whether it was at the beginning of the book or the end can help connect with your memory. But neither theory has been proven. According to this study, Salmerón says, “First, printed texts shouldn’t be quit. Second, teachers should consider the goals of the tasks when deciding which reading medium to use.” He adds, “Tablets(平板电脑) may be well-suited for internet questioning tasks, but paper should be favoured to promote understanding of long texts.” 12. What drove Salmerón and his workmates to conduct the new study? A. Effects of digital devices on education. B. Challenges brought by reading devices. C. Impacts of the screen inferiority effect. D. One point ignored by previous research. 13. How did Salmerón and his workmates make their discovery? A. By conducting experiments. B. By referring to past research. C. By observing carefully in life. D. By interviewing many students. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the positive effect of print reading? A. Its cause remains unclear. B. It tends to last a long time. C. It helps to improve one’s memory. D. Its existence hasn’t been confirmed. 15. What can be inferred from Salmerón’s words in the last paragraph? A. The study provides directions for educators. B. The study advises people to read tablets more. C. The study overstates the demand for printed texts. D. The study focuses on how to understand long texts. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通过新的手持设备阅读与印刷文本阅读的对比研究，发现阅读印刷文本的学生表现依旧稍好，同时探讨了“屏幕劣势效应”产生的可能原因及相关理论，最终给出不应放弃印刷文本以及教师应根据任务目标选择合适阅读媒介的建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, by and large, previous studies have compared print reading to reading on a computer screen, not the handheld devices modern students use for most of their reading. (然而，总的来说，以前的研究将印刷阅读与在计算机屏幕上阅读进行了比较，而不是现代学生用于大部分阅读的手持设备。)”可知，Salmerón和他的同事们进行这项新研究的动机是因为之前的研究忽略了比较印刷阅读和手持设备阅读的效果。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So they searched existing studies and analyzed only data sets comparing print reading to reading on handheld devices. (因此，他们检索了现有的研究，只分析了比较印刷阅读和手持设备阅读的数据集。)”可知，Salmerón和他的同事们通过参考过去的研究来进行他们的发现。故选B项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Some scientists are trying to understand the reasons for the screen inferiority effect. One theory called the shallowing hypothesis (假说) assumes that when reading on digital devices, people are generally doing so for short periods of time and reading short pieces of text, causing them to be less efficient. Another theory holds that feeling each page and remembering whether it was at the beginning of the book or the end can help connect with your memory. But neither theory has been proven. (一些科学家正试图了解屏幕劣势效应的原因。一种称为“浅层假设”的理论认为，在数字设备上阅读时，人们通常会进行短时间阅读并阅读短文本，从而导致他们的效率降低。另一种理论认为，感受每一页并记住它是在书的开头还是结尾，都有助于与你的记忆建立联系。但这两种理论都没有得到证实。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了印刷阅读的积极效果的原因尚不清楚。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“According to this study, Salmerón says, “First, printed texts shouldn’t be quit. Second, teachers should consider the goals of the tasks when deciding which reading medium to use.” (根据这项研究，Salmerón说：“首先，不应放弃印刷文本。其次，教师在决定使用哪种阅读媒介时，应考虑任务的目标。”)”可知，Salmerón的话表明这项研究为教育工作者提供了方向。故选A项。 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。 Have you ever started a new task at work, only to be distracted (干扰) by a ding on your phone? Or perhaps you’re in the middle of a report, and your mind starts to wander to what you’ll have for dinner. If you find yourself familiar with any of these scenes, don’t worry. ____16____ Now let’s explore the reasons behind these distractions. Our brains are naturally easy to be distracted. They are wonderfully complex machines designed to absorb new information and adapt to our environment. ____17____ They always quickly change our attention to the new stimulus (刺激), causing us to lose focus on our current task. ____18____ It’s fortunate for us to have access to technology and the Internet, which provide a wealth of resources for learning, connecting, and entertaining ourselves. But this blessing is double-edged. The tools that help improve productivity can also lead to distractions. We have a short attention span (持续时间). ____19____ It’s said that our attention span has a cap, much like the limit on a fuel tank (油箱). And once we hit that upper limit, our focus begins searching for other limits, like a traveler eager for new landscapes. In our daily life, distractions come in many forms and the sources of distractions can vary widely. The path to a more focused and productive life isn’t necessarily about removing all distractions. It’s an impossible task in this age of information. ____20____ A. We live in a world full of distractions. B. We have poor time management skills. C. But this strength can also be a weakness. D. This isn’t necessarily because of a lack of interest. E. Regaining your focus might be harder than you think. F. You’re just part of a much larger group than you imagine. G. Instead, learn to acknowledge and manage them effectively. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了注意力不集中的理由并给出了措施。 【16题详解】 前文“Have you ever started a new task at work, only to be distracted (干扰) by a ding on your phone? Or perhaps you’re in the middle of a report, and your mind starts to wander to what you’ll have for dinner. If you find yourself familiar with any of these scenes, don’t worry.(你是否曾经在工作中开始了一项新任务，却被手机铃声分散了注意力?或者你正在写一份报告，你的思绪开始游荡到晚餐吃什么。如果你发现自己熟悉这些场景中的任何一个，不要担心。)”说明如果做事情的时候分心了，不要担心，因此推断空处应是说明理由，后文“你只是一个比你想象的大得多的群体中的一员。”符合语境，与前文是因果关系。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“They are wonderfully complex machines designed to absorb new information and adapt to our environment.(它们是非常复杂的机器，旨在吸收新信息并适应我们的环境。)”说明大脑是用来吸收新信息的机器，后文“They always quickly change our attention to the new stimulus(刺激), causing us to lose focus on our current task.(它们总是迅速将我们的注意力转移到新的刺激上，导致我们失去对当前任务的关注。)”说明大脑的弱点，容易分散注意力，前后文是转折关系，因此推断C项“但这种优势也可能是劣势。”符合语境，承上启下，前文是大脑的优势，下文是劣势。故选C。 【18题详解】 空处为段落标题，根据后文“It’s fortunate for us to have access to technology and the Internet, which provide a wealth of resources for learning, connecting, and entertaining ourselves. But this blessing is double-edged. The tools that help improve productivity can also lead to distractions.(我们很幸运能够接触到科技和互联网，它们为我们学习、交流和娱乐提供了丰富的资源。但这是一把双刃剑。有助于提高工作效率的工具也可能导致分心。)”说明科技和互联网是一把双刃剑，尽管有助于提高工作效率，但是也导致分心，因此推断A项“我们生活在一个充满分心的世界。”为最佳标题。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据标题“We have a short attention span(持续时间).(我们的注意力持续时间很短。)”可知，本段讲述我们的注意力持续时间比较短，因此推断D项“这并不一定是因为缺乏兴趣。”符合语境，说明我们的注意力持续时间短的理由，下文讲述了真正可能的理由“It’s said that our attention span has a cap, much like the limit on a fuel tank(油箱). And once we hit that upper limit, our focus begins searching for other limits, like a traveler eager for new landscapes.(据说我们的注意力持续时间是有上限的，就像油箱的极限一样。一旦我们达到了这个上限，我们的注意力就会开始寻找其他的极限，就像一个渴望新风景的旅行者一样。)”。故选D。 【20题详解】 前文“The path to a more focused and productive life isn’t necessarily about removing all distractions. It’s an impossible task in this age of information.(通往更专注、更有成效的生活的道路并不一定要消除所有的干扰。在这个信息时代，这是一项不可能完成的任务。)”说明消除所有的干扰是不可能的，因此推断下文给出解决办法，因此推断G项“相反，学会承认并有效地管理它们。”符合语境，与前文是转折关系。故选G。 第二部分 语言运用(共三节，满分60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。 “Thank you for your participation. But I’m sorry to tell you that you ____21____ the interview.” I received the email two weeks after interviewing for a position. When I read it, I felt upset because I’d spent hours making ____22____ before the interview and in the end, I didn’t even know why I didn’t get through. “How can I ____23____ my job search approach if I didn’t even know what was wrong?” I thought. The value of feedback (反馈) became obvious after I received another ____24____ call months later, “____25____, we decided to offer the job to someone else.” Again I felt ____26____. But the conversation wasn’t over. “Would you like to hear the ____27____ from us?” he asked. Then the representative explained that I hadn’t clearly ____28____ my motivation (动机) for applying for the position. The feedback was ____29____ to hear, but I quickly realized he was right. I started to _____30_____ myself. Since my top consideration had been to find a position, I wasn’t very _____31_____ about what I applied for. I pursued any job opportunity as long as it broadly fitted my skills. From then on, I carefully _____32_____ each job and only considered the ones that attracted me most. Soon the approach started to _____33_____—I got a great offer. Years later, as an interviewer, I treat every interview as an important _____34_____: interviewees invest (投资) effort and in return, I will give them feedback. It is because without feedback, we are likely to make the same _____35_____ over and over again. 21. A. failed B. arranged C. attended D. decreased 22.

Imagine a forest ranger (护林员) walking in the wilderness. His name is David Noble. He climbs down to a remote deep valley and sees something that he will never forget. In front of him is a strange forest of unusual trees. The tallest are almost 40 meters high, and the base diameter (底部直径) of their trunks is about one meter. The trees do not have the leaves that we usually see and look a bit like giant ferns (蕨类植物) with green branches. Deeply impressed by the unusual trees, David picks up a dry branch from the ground and puts it in his backpack. He stays under these strange trees for a while and then continues his hike. David’s chance finding that day became one of the most significant botanical finds in 100 years, as the ancient tree species was thought to be extinct millions of years ago. In fact, it is so unbelievably rare that it has since been compared with finding a small dinosaur still alive on Earth. So there are ancient dinosaur trees in Wollemi National Park. The tree is named Wollemia Nobilis. The Park takes immediate action to protect the trees. Only a few researchers are allowed to see them. They are taken to the deep valley by helicopter, and before they get there, their eyes are covered. Crowds of visitors will no doubt destroy the trees, but natural disasters, for example, forest fires, can also threaten them. We are now in 2024, and the Wollemia environmental protection effort is in full swing. Wollemia seeds are on sale. Young Wollemias pop up in homes, gardens and parks around the world. Those who want to see the endangered species don’t have to search for their natural habitat. Instead, they can see the trees in parks closer to home. 4. What makes David pay special attention to the trees? A. Their habitat. B. Their size. C. Their history. D. Their features. 5. Why is the discovery of Wollemia Nobilis considered important? A. It is regarded as the most precious plant. B. It was believed to be an extinct species. C. It looks much more like a small dinosaur. D. It has grown in the deep valley for centuries. 6. What action does the Park take to protect the trees? A. Employing strict access measures. B. Permitting nobody to enter their habitat. C. Encouraging researchers to clone them. D. Relocating the trees to prevent forest fires. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Timeless Trees: An Australian Mystery B. The Hidden Forest: Discovered in Australia C. Lost and Found: Australia’s Prehistoric Survivor D. Ancient Ferns: A Discovery in Australia’s Wild C In 1998, I headed from a small town in South Wales to Sheffield University. Sheffield, the UK’s fourth biggest city, had it all — clubs, bars, and theaters. It was a huge contrast to my hometown, which hadn’t had a cinema until 1997. Sheffield had various choices — I thought I’d love it. But I missed the Wye Valley occasionally. Over time, I settled. Now I’ve lived in Sheffield longer than in my hometown. Yet no matter how happy I am in my adopted city, there’s always a desire to return to Wales. The simple answer is that the idea of home doesn’t necessarily relate to time spent in a place — instead, it is about a special connection and a feeling of safety. “Homesickness usually comes from being somewhere that doesn’t quite feel like home,” says psychologist Wendy Dignan. “As humans, we create a safe zone (地带). Some people may not be particularly attached (依恋) to a place, so they always feel safe. However, others’ safe zone might be a particular place, a home, or a familiar person, the absence of which may lead to homesıckness.” There are things you can help yourself if you are struggling with homesickness. Dignan suggests going to the same coffee shop or gym at a certain time to build a pattern of familiarity because, it is a useful tool for overcoming homesickness and building that all-important safe zone. When so much in our lives is unpredictable, it is no surprise that we crave safe zone. I’m fortunate to have a loving family, supportive friends, and a comfortable home in Sheffield, but however much I love my life here, there’s an inner part of me that will forever be in Wales. 8. Which word can best describe the author’s hometown? A. Underdeveloped. B. Well-designed. C. Well-known. D. Overpopulated. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The different types of safe zones. B. The cause for people’s homesickness. C. The value of overcoming homesickness. D. Psychological impacts of homesickness. 10. What does the underlined word “crave” mean in paragraph 4? A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Support. D. Desire. 11. What can we know from the author’s experience? A. Love often begins in our hometown. B. Homesickness can be easily avoided. C. Hometown means a sense of belonging. D. Never should we leave our hometown. D The advantage of printed texts over digital ones has been seen in many previous studies, and education psychologists even have a name for the phenomenon: the “screen inferiority effect”, which refers to the phenomenon where students, and others, seem to understand more when reading printed texts. However, by and large, previous studies have compared print reading to reading on a computer screen, not the handheld devices modern students use for most of their reading. Ladislao Salmerón, a researcher of educational psychology at the University of Valencia in Spain, and his workmates wanted to see if the screen inferiority effect occurs if you focus on handheld devices. So they searched existing studies and analyzed only data sets comparing print reading to reading on handheld devices. Finally, they looked at dozens of studies, pooling results from more than 100,000 students. As with previous research, they found students who read printed texts constantly performed slightly better. Although small, Salmerón stresses, the effect observed could be of great significance. “In explaining this, we must consider that children in schools read every day, he says. “So this effect could be built up over time.” Some scientists are trying to understand the reasons for the screen inferiority effect. One theory called the shallowing hypothesis (假说) assumes that when reading on digital devices, people are generally doing so for short periods of time and reading short pieces of text, causing them to be less efficient. Another theory holds that feeling each page and remembering whether it was at the beginning of the book or the end can help connect with your memory. But neither theory has been proven. According to this study, Salmerón says, “First, printed texts shouldn’t be quit. Second, teachers should consider the goals of the tasks when deciding which reading medium to use.” He adds, “Tablets(平板电脑) may be well-suited for internet questioning tasks, but paper should be favoured to promote understanding of long texts.” 12. What drove Salmerón and his workmates to conduct the new study? A. Effects of digital devices on education. B. Challenges brought by reading devices. C. Impacts of the screen inferiority effect. D. One point ignored by previous research. 13. How did Salmerón and his workmates make their discovery? A. By conducting experiments. B. By referring to past research. C. By observing carefully in life. D. By interviewing many students. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the positive effect of print reading? A. Its cause remains unclear. B. It tends to last a long time. C. It helps to improve one’s memory. D. Its existence hasn’t been confirmed. 15. What can be inferred from Salmerón’s words in the last paragraph? A. The study provides directions for educators. B. The study advises people to read tablets more. C. The study overstates the demand for printed texts. D. The study focuses on how to understand long texts. 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。 Have you ever started a new task at work, only to be distracted (干扰) by a ding on your phone? Or perhaps you’re in the middle of a report, and your mind starts to wander to what you’ll have for dinner. If you find yourself familiar with any of these scenes, don’t worry. ____16____ Now let’s explore the reasons behind these distractions. Our brains are naturally easy to be distracted. They are wonderfully complex machines designed to absorb new information and adapt to our environment. ____17____ They always quickly change our attention to the new stimulus (刺激), causing us to lose focus on our current task. ____18____ It’s fortunate for us to have access to technology and the Internet, which provide a wealth of resources for learning, connecting, and entertaining ourselves. But this blessing is double-edged. The tools that help improve productivity can also lead to distractions. We have a short attention span (持续时间). ____19____ It’s said that our attention span has a cap, much like the limit on a fuel tank (油箱). And once we hit that upper limit, our focus begins searching for other limits, like a traveler eager for new landscapes. In our daily life, distractions come in many forms and the sources of distractions can vary widely. The path to a more focused and productive life isn’t necessarily about removing all distractions. It’s an impossible task in this age of information. ____20____ A. We live in a world full of distractions. B. We have poor time management skills. C. But this strength can also be a weakness. D. This isn’t necessarily because of a lack of interest. E. Regaining your focus might be harder than you think. F. You’re just part of a much larger group than you imagine. G. Instead, learn to acknowledge and manage them effectively. 第二部分 语言运用(共三节，满分60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。 “Thank you for your participation. But I’m sorry to tell you that you ____21____ the interview.” I received the email two weeks after interviewing for a position. When I read it, I felt upset because I’d spent hours making ____22____ before the interview and in the end, I didn’t even know why I didn’t get through. “How can I ____23____ my job search approach if I didn’t even know what was wrong?” I thought. The value of feedback (反馈) became obvious after I received another ____24____ call months later, “____25____, we decided to offer the job to someone else.” Again I felt ____26____. But the conversation wasn’t over. “Would you like to hear the ____27____ from us?” he asked. Then the representative explained that I hadn’t clearly ____28____ my motivation (动机) for applying for the position. The feedback was ____29____ to hear, but I quickly realized he was right. I started to _____30_____ myself. Since my top consideration had been to find a position, I wasn’t very _____31_____ about what I applied for. I pursued any job opportunity as long as it broadly fitted my skills. From then on, I carefully _____32_____ each job and only considered the ones that attracted me most. Soon the approach started to _____33_____—I got a great offer. Years later, as an interviewer, I treat every interview as an important _____34_____: interviewees invest (投资) effort and in return, I will give them feedback.
