Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies?
24. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. There are different types of education.
B. The present education needs improvements.
C. Education and economy are closely associated.
D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different.
25. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?
A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition.
C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning.
26. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required.
27. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education
C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future
C
Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
28. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree?
A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat.
C. They feel like occupying the land. D. They are attracting companions’ attention.
29 What do researchers find through camera-traps?
A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors.
B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys.
D. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals.
30. What does the underlined word “magnitude” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Characteristics. B. Populations. C. Similarities. D. Flexibilities.
31. What is the possible significance of the discovery?
A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Increasing the production of resin.
C. Contributing to forest conservation. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ diet.
D
Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.
32. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?
A. People should offer mercy to others.
B. People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.
C. Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.
D. Aggressive people should learn to forgive.
33. What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?
A. To forgive is to love. B. To fight is to grow.
C. To dominate is to harm. D. To give is to receive.
34. What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?
A. Objective. B. Reserved. C. Favorable. D. Skeptical.
35. What is message of the last paragraph?
A. Forgiveness is in our nature. B. Forgiveness grows with time.
C. Actuality is based on potentiality. D. It takes practice to forgive.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. ____36____ So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. ____37____
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). ____38____ Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep.
____39____ Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. ____40____ For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.
A. It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B. It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.

E. This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues.
F. People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.
G. Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As I unzipped my lunchbox, the whole place was turned into a spicy curry (咖喱) dream. I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice.
Mom had really outdone herself with masala — our family’s all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn’t just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York city, for lunch.
“Ava, come sit here!” Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat.
As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn’t belong.
Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack “normal” western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she signed in disappointment and confusion, “Isn’t there a moment when you feel proud of your origin?” That was hurting, but not more hurting than others’ giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York city, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn’t take that risk.
Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwich or any “normal” food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible oh-no-second (社死), I felt like being thrown into darkness.
However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking (躲躲藏藏). “What do you have for lunch?” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off (搪塞), claiming I wasn’t hungry. But Ricky wouldn’t let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as “Ew” or “What is that?”
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。
However, I did not get what I was expecting.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch.

Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies?
24. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. There are different types of education.
B. The present education needs improvements.
C. Education and economy are closely associated.
D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different.
25. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?
A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition.
C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning.
26. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required.
27. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education
C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future
【答案】24 D 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members.(直到2035年左右,教育系统的主要功能是为经济提供下一代工人。在2080年,教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。)”可知,第一段主要告诉我们未来教育的目标是完全不同的。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.(学校已经被不受年龄限制的“学习中心”所取代。)”可知,Shemsy去的学习中心接受所有年龄的学生。故选A。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Being Human and the History of Humanity(做人和人类历史)”可知,做人和人类历史应该是全球儿童必修的课程,划线词mandatory的意思是“必修的”,和required意思相近,故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080.(在2080年,教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。为了让你们更明白这一点,我想举一个2080年儿童教育的例子。)”可知,本文主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望,因此最恰当的标题是B选项“A Vision for Education(教育远景)”。故选B。
C
Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
28. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree?
A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat.
C. They feel like occupying the land. D. They are attracting companions’ attention.
29. What do researchers find through camera-traps?
A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors.
B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys.
D. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals.
30. What does the underlined word “magnitude” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Characteristics. B. Populations. C. Similarities. D. Flexibilities.
31. What is the possible significance of the discovery?
A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Increasing the production of resin.
C Contributing to forest conservation. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ diet.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了研究人员发现动物会使用一种特殊的树树脂作为药物来疗伤。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.(在其中一项日常研究中,研究人员观察到绢毛猴在树干上摩擦身体。起初,研究人员认为它们是在标记自己的领地,这是这种物种的常见行为。植物学专家后来证实,这棵树是一种以其药用特性而闻名的红檀香)”可知,绢毛猴要在树上摩擦自己是想要治疗疾病。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).(共观察到10种动物。对它们中的许多来说,这是第一次观察到类似于自我药物治疗的行为。更令人惊讶的是,一个物种会成对地在对方的皮毛上涂抹树脂。一般来说,这些物种似乎专门访问树来获取树脂,并从中受益,要么治愈伤口,要么击退寄生虫)”可知,研究人员通过隐藏的相机发现树脂可以用作一些动物的药。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句句意“It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.(这很可能是一种宝贵的资源,通过改善它们的健康状况来帮助物种保持它们的magnitude)”可知,此处指通过改善健康来保持该物种的数量,magnitude指“数量”,故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.(这一发现可能会对保护产生重要影响,因为一些树木的消失可能会影响一些动物的生存)”可知,这一发现的可能意义是有助于森林保护。故选C。
D
Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.
32. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?
A. People should offer mercy to others.
B. People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.
C. Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.
D. Aggressive people should learn to forgive.
33. What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?
A. To forgive is to love. B. To fight is to grow.
C. To dominate is to harm. D. To give is to receive.
34. What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?
A. Objective. B. Reserved. C. Favorable. D. Skeptical.
35. What is message of the last paragraph?
A. Forgiveness is in our nature. B. Forgiveness grows with time.
C. Actuality is based on potentiality. D. It takes practice to forgive.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“原谅是否违背人类本性”这一主题进行了深入的探讨和论证,通过对比不同的人类本性观点,分析了原谅在个体和社区中的作用和意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them. (在一篇关于宽恕心理学的早期论文中,Droll(1984)提出了一个有趣的观点,即人类的本质比宽恕所允许的更具攻击性。那些宽恕的人违背了他们的本性,对他们造成了很大的伤害。在他看来,宽恕者在向他人提供仁慈的同时,也在损害自己的幸福,而这些人可能会利用他们。)”可知,Droll认为宽恕的人违背了他们的本性,对他们造成了很大的伤害,他认为宽恕者在向他人提供仁慈的同时,也在损害自己的幸福。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段所举例子上文“Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. (研究人员发现,为了全面成长为人类,我们既需要从别人那里接受爱,也需要向别人提供爱。没有爱,我们与生活中各种各样的人的联系就会破裂。甚至常识也强烈表明,控制他人的意愿并不会促成和谐的互动。)”可知,没有爱,我们与他人的联系就会破裂,控制他人的意愿并不会促成和谐的互动;奴隶制是一个基于对他人的支配和控制的制度,它造成了大量的伤害和痛苦。“For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony? (例如,奴隶制作为社会和谐的一种模式发挥了多大的作用?)”通过以奴隶社会举例,以反问的方式,来阐明试图通过支配和权力来控制他人并不能带来真正的和谐或幸福,即控制就是伤害。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people. (从作为人类的第二种观点来看,宽恕在个人和社区的生理和心理完整性方面都起着关键作用,因为科学研究表明,宽恕的结果之一是减少仇恨,恢复和谐。宽恕可以打破愤怒的循环。至少在某种程度上,与你疏远的人接受你的爱和宽恕,并准备做出必要的调整。宽恕可以治愈人际关系,重新连接人际关系。)”可知,作者认为原谅在个体和社区生物学和心理学完整性中的关键作用,指出原谅能够减少仇恨、恢复和谐,并且能够打破愤怒的循环。作者还提到原谅可以治愈关系,让人们重新建立联系。这些观点都表明作者对于原谅持有支持的态度。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice. (值得注意的是,当我们从古典哲学的角度,即亚里士多德的角度来看,我们会看到潜在性和现实性之间的区别。我们不一定天生就有宽恕的能力,但我们有潜力去学习宽恕,并在宽恕的能力中成长。宽恕的现实性,它在冲突情境中的实际运用,是随着实践而发展的。)”可知,最后一段主要传达了原谅需要实践的信息。作者通过引用古典哲学中关于潜在性和实际性的观点,指出我们并不是天生就具备原谅的能力,而是需要通过学习和实践来培养和发展这种能力。因此,原谅并不是一种自然而然的行为,而是需要我们付出努力去实践的。故选D。

Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. ____36____ So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. ____37____
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). ____38____ Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep.
____39____ Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. ____40____ For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.
A. It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B. It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.
C. The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.
D. Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.
E. This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues.
F. People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐可以改善睡眠,解释了背后的原因。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether.(即使你最终能睡着,花太长时间入睡也会导致睡眠时间太少)”以及后文“So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.(所以入睡困难的人总是想知道他们如何才能睡得好)”可知,本句承接上文,说明花太长时间入睡的情况对人们的影响,后文给出解决方案。故E选项“如果这种情况持续下去,会对一个人的生活质量产生严重的影响”符合语境,故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime.(父母从经验中知道轻柔的音乐可以帮助婴儿入睡。科学支持这一点,表明所有年龄段的孩子,从婴儿到小学生,在听了舒适的音乐后睡得更好。幸运的是,孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人)”可知,上文提到“孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人”,说明其他年龄段的人也可以从中受益。故F选项“各年龄段的人都说听轻音乐后睡眠质量更好”符合语境,故选F。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能).(听音乐可能改善睡眠的原因不止一个。音乐可以通过影响你的生理机能直接促进睡眠)”可知,本句具体说明音乐是如何影响生理机能促进睡眠的。故D选项“听音乐可以减轻你的压力,激发积极的情绪”符合语境,故选D。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep.(研究考察了许多类型的音乐和播放列表,但对于最适合睡眠的音乐,还没有一个明确的答案)”可知,本句与最适合睡觉的音乐类型有关,B选项type对应后文types。故B选项“想知道最适合睡觉的音乐类型是很自然的”符合语境,故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences.(关于音乐如何影响一个人的身体,最重要的一点是他们自己的音乐偏好)”以及后文“For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.(对于那些不想设计自己的播放列表的人来说,在线音乐服务已经介入,通常提供睡眠或放松的播放列表)”可知,本句主要说明设计个人播放列表来促进睡眠。故G选项“有用的个人播放列表可能包括过去帮助睡眠的放松歌曲”符合语境,故选G。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As I unzipped my lunchbox, the whole place was turned into a spicy curry (咖喱) dream. I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice.
Mom had really outdone herself with masala — our family’s all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn’t just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York city, for lunch.
“Ava, come sit here!” Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat.
As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn’t belong.
Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack “normal” western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she signed in disappointment and confusion, “Isn’t there a moment when you feel proud of your origin?” That was hurting, but not more hurting than others’ giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York city, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn’t take that risk.
Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwich or any “normal” food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible oh-no-second (社死), I felt like being thrown into darkness.
However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking (躲躲藏藏). “What do you have for lunch?” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off (搪塞), claiming I wasn’t hungry. But Ricky wouldn’t let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as “Ew” or “What is that?”
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。
However, I did not get what I was expecting.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However, I did not get what I was expecting. Ricky took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and savored the aroma of the masala. Instead of the usual stares and whispers, there was only interest on Ricky’s face. His face lit up with a broad smile, asking, “You mum made masala for your lunch?” Before I could make a response, he added: “I could be dying of envy! You know what, last Sunday, my parents and I queued up for three hours in harsh cold in fifth Avenue for the new India restaurant.” He enjoyed every bite, nodding his head in approval. It was a welcome change from the stares and whispers I had grown accustomed to.
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch. I came over and asked if I could have palak paneer in my lunchbox, which made her a bit confused. Finally, I told her about my experience with Ricky and how he had enjoyed my food. Mom’s face lit up with joy. “I’m glad he liked it,” she said. “And I’m even happier that you’re starting to feel proud of your roots again.” She paused and looked at me seriously. “Your culture, your traditions, and your food are all a part of who you are.” I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Mom’s words had given me the courage to embrace my identity and share my culture with others.
