Paragraph 1:
As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. In my sight, I found a lot of homeless people in need of something to eat were waiting in the queue. In the next few hours I was very busy giving out the meat and other food items into their hands. And what moved me most ①was that when those hungry people went off, they also left with some friendly words of gratitude. Though I felt rather tired and worn out, I still seemed delighted. Seeing what I did make their day, I felt deep pleasure welling up from the bottom of my heart.
Paragraph 2:
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题5分,共40分)
A
A new study has found that a child’s reading speed can be improved by simply increasing the space between letters within a piece of text. The research, led by Dr. Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), examined the benefits of letter spacing and colored overlays(套图透明膜)among children.
Two groups of children, dyslexic(有阅读障碍的) and non-dyslexic children, were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter spacing, both with and without a colored overlay. They were instructed to read the text out loud while being recorded. The recording was used to measure the number of errors they made — specifically missed words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation—as well as the participants’ reading time.
The study discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups. On average, the dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed, while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increase. In addition to improving reading speed, it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexia. However, the study found that colored overlays had no significant impact on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group.
Dr. Stagg, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU, said:“We believe extra-large letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the ’crowding effect’,which can hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.”
“Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials,” Dr. Stagg added.“While we found that colored overlays provided little benefit, we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading. Colored overlays may not increase reading speeds, but they may extend reading stamina (持久力).Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put colored overlays at a disadvantage.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,增大一篇文章中字母的间隔可以提高孩子的阅读速度。
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Two groups of children... out loud while being recorded.”以及第三段中的“On average, the dyslexia group... non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increase”可知,孩子们首先被分成两组,然后研究人员对其朗读过程进行录音,最后对其朗读速度和在朗读过程中出现的错误进行统计。因此可推知,该研究过程包括分类、记录和计数。故选D项。
√
1.Which of the following best describes the research process in Paragraph 2?
A.To illustrate, group and report.
B.To read, instruct and measure.
C.To question, assume and prove.
D.To categorize, record and count.
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In addition to improving ... the children with dyslexia.”可知,增大字母间距不仅可以提高孩子们的阅读速度,还可以减少他们在阅读中漏读的单词的数量,即减少阅读中的错误。故选A项。
√
2.What can we learn about increased letter spacing from Paragraph 3?
A.It reduces reading errors.
B.It sharpens reading skills.
C.It arouses reading interest.
D.It enhances reading comprehension.
词义猜测题。根据后文中的“reduce reading speed”可推知,画线词所在句表示“我们认为超大的字母间距可以通过降低所谓的’拥挤效应’来发挥作用,这种效应会阻碍(孩子们对)字母的识别并降低阅读速度”。因此,画线词hamper的意思是“阻碍”,和prevent 意思相近。故选B项。
√
3.What does the underlined word “hamper” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Obtain.
B.Prevent.
C.Change.
D.Involve.
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,该研究设定的阅读测试时长过短,可能会使彩色套图透明膜的优势显现不出来,使之处于不利位置。由此推知,彩色套图透明膜可能还没有得到公平合理的评价。故选A项。
√
4.What can be inferred about colored overlays from the last paragraph?
A.They might not have been evaluated fairly.
B.They might not be recommended by experts.
C.They might work better in short reading.
D.They might have some disadvantages.
B
You’ve stopped at a café on your way to work, and next thing you know, your latte foam is staring at you. You’ve had the same furniture for years, but today your cup board looks sad. You’re lying in the park with your friends, and now Nezha is floating by in the clouds—are they seeing him too?!
Why do we see human faces everywhere?
Until now, it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces. However, researchers from the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating this phenomenon.
The facial recognition response happens fast, only taking a few hundred milli seconds. From an evolutionary perspective, the researchers suggest that the benefit of“never missing a face” outweighs(超过) the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces. Despite knowing that the object you are seeing is not a human face, the perception(知觉) of a face stays. This is known as“face pareidolia”.
Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus (刺激物), making one see an object, pattern or meaning when there is none. Pareidolia was originally considered a symptom of mental disorder, but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency.
Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky.
The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analysed for a facial expression. The study participants were presented with series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a scale from angry to happy. The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces.
The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not cast off as false detections, but rather undergo an internal“facial expression analysis”,in the same way a real face would. This is likely because humans are deeply social beings. Additionally, they found that biases(成见) often seen when judging human faces in the analysis of the pareidolia faces.
So, the next time that you see an angry tree, don’t be surprised and remember it’s not personal.

Having a good sense of humor makes you more enjoyable to be around. 1 .Here’s how you can develop your sense of humor.
●Surround Yourself with Humor
You learn more effectively when you fully expose yourself to a subject. Similarly, you can improve your sense of humor by surrounding yourself with humor. Watch standup comedians. Listen to programs that amuse you. Read humorous books. 2 .
●Learn What Amuses You
3 .We amuse our friends by praising a change they made. However, when it comes to being funny, don’t change your sense of humor to amuse other people. Instead, start with what amuses you. Then, if you think the other person will also be amused with it, share it with them.
●Think about Timing and Audience
You don’t have to be funny all the time, so don’t expect that of yourself. When you catch yourself trying to be funny, slow down. Simply speak slower so you’re not as likely to stop and repeat yourself. Try speaking at 60%-70% of your usual rate. 4 .
● 5
You don’t need to seize every single opportunity to be funny. If you’re in the middle of a bad joke, just end it.“You know what, now that I’m telling it, it’s not as funny as it sounded in my head,” can be a bit of an awkward end and hurt your pride a little bit, but it saves everyone time and patience. In the long run, they’ll respect your taste.
A.Be Creative, Not Silly
B.Pause in between sentences
C.There’s a lot of fun out there
D.You might also do better at work
E.Know When to Pull the Plug on Yourself
F.You can also try your hand in the real world
G.A lot of times, we say things purely to please others
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拥有良好的幽默感会让你更讨人喜欢。本文主要围绕如何培养幽默感这一主题提供了一些建议。
根据前句可知,拥有良好的幽默感会让周围的人更喜欢你;后文则介绍了一些培养幽默感的方法。由此推知,空处应继续解释有幽默感的好处。D项“You might also do better at work”与前一句构成递进关系,符合语境。故选D项。
Having a good sense of humor makes you more enjoyable to be around. _____________________________.Here’s how you can develop your sense of humor.
D.You might also do better at work
由本段小标题Surround Yourself with Humor 可知,本段建议通过置身于幽默中来培养幽默感。前文“Watch standup comedians. Listen to programs that amuse you. Read humorous books.”列出了三项可进行的活动,空处应是总结这些活动都能给人带来乐趣,所以C项“There’s a lot of fun out there”符合语境。故选C项。
You learn more effectively when you fully expose yourself to a subject. Similarly, you can improve your sense of humor by surrounding yourself with humor. Watch standup comedians. Listen to programs that amuse you. Read humorous books._______________________________.
C.There’s a lot of fun out there
根据本段小标题Learn What Amuses You 及后文内容可知,本段建议不要为了逗别人开心而改变你的幽默感,而是要从你自己感兴趣的事情开始,如果你认为对方也会被它逗乐,那就和他们分享。因此,G项“A lot of times,we say things purely to please others”符合语境,引出后文的内容,其中please others 与后文的amuse our friends 相呼应。故选G项。
_____________________________________________.We amuse our friends by praising a change they made. However, when it comes to being funny, don’t change your sense of humor to amuse other people. Instead, start with what amuses you. Then, if you think the other person will also be amused with it, share it with them.
G.A lot of times, we say things purely to please others
根据本段小标题Think about Timing and Audience 可知,本段强调要考虑表现幽默感的时机和听众。根据前句“When you catch yourself trying to be funny...at 60%-70% of your usual rate.”可知,空前建议减慢说话速度,所以B项“Pause in between sentences”符合语境,继续讲如何放慢语速。故选B项。
You don’t have to be funny all the time, so don’t expect that of yourself. When you catch yourself trying to be funny, slow down. Simply speak slower so you’re not as likely to stop and repeat yourself. Try speaking at 60%-70% of your usual rate____________________________.
B.Pause in between sentences
空处为本段小标题,应概括本段内容。根据下文内容可知,本段主要讲当你发觉自己讲的笑话没有想象中搞笑时,你可以适时停止。所以,E项“Know When to Pull the Plug on Yourself”概括了本段主旨。故选E项。
