A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 7. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了John Todd从小就很爱思考且好学，他建造了一个生态机器，利用自然可以自我修复的原理来净化污水。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. (当约翰·托德还是个孩子的时候，他喜欢探索房子周围的树林，观察大自然是如何解决问题的。例如，一条肮脏的小溪流经植物和微小生物居住的岩石后，往往会变得清澈。长大后，约翰开始思考这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的混乱)”以及第二段“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? (在大学学习了农业、医学和渔业之后，约翰又回到了观察自然和提出问题的生活中。为什么某些植物能捕获有害细菌？哪些鱼类会食用致癌化学物质？)”可知，约翰聪颖好学、好奇心很强。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After a few weeks, John added the sludge. (几个星期后，约翰把污泥加了进去)”以及倒数第三段“He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. (他对结果感到惊讶。生态机器里的动植物把污泥当成了食物，开始吃了起来！几周之内，它就被消化了，只剩下纯净水)”可知，约翰把污泥放进罐子里是为了测试生态机器。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. (这些年来，约翰承担了许多重大工作。他开发了一个类似温室的设施，可以处理来自南伯灵顿1600户家庭的污水。他还设计了一种生态机器来清洁中国东南部城市福州的运河水)”可推知，作者提到福州的目的是展示约翰想法的应用。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair. (你把生物体放在新的关系中，观察会发生什么。然后让这些新系统自行发展自我修复的方式)”可知，约翰工作的基础是自然可以自我修复。故选A。 【点睛】 C Top-down processing is the process of using context or general knowledge to understand what we perceive (感知). In 1970, psychologist Richard Gregory introduced the concept. He claimed that perception is constructive. The processing plays an important role in our interactions with our environment. Our five senses are constantly taking in information. At any given time, we are experiencing different sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and ways things feel when we touch them. If we paid attention to each one of our senses all the time, we’d never do anything else. It enables us to simplify the process by relying on context and our pre-existing knowledge to understand what we notice. If our brains didn’t employ top-down processing our senses would overwhelm us. Top-down processing helps us understand what our senses are perceiving in our daily lives. For example, suppose you receive an important letter but a few drops of water have ruined part of the text. A few letters in different words are now just smudges (污迹). Yet, you’re still able to read the letter in its entirety using top-down processing. You use the context of the words and sentences in which the smudges appear and your knowledge of reading to comprehend the meaning of the letter’s message. See a word LO*E, with one letter knocked down, yet you are still able to quickly recognize the word as LOVE. On the one hand, top-down processing serves a positive function by simplifying the way we comprehend our sensory perceptions. It enables us to shortcut the cognitive path between our perceptions and their meaning. On the other hand, patterns can also prevent us from perceiving things in unique ways. So we may understand the pattern of how to use a mobile phone, but if the manufacturer comes out with a new phone that employs completely unique interaction patterns, we may not be able to figure out how to use it. Besides, as our knowledge is limited and biased (片面的) in certain ways, it can lead to perceptual errors. 8. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 2? A. To explain main reasons. B. To give practical examples. C. To draw specific conclusions. D. To analyse theoretical frameworks. 9. What maybe the key to understanding a text with missing letters? A. Pre-existing knowledge. B. Active interactions. C. Five physical senses. D. Lessons from mistakes 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Seeing is believing. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Experience is the best teacher. 11. What does the author intend to do according to the text? A. Introduce a reading method. B. Deepen underlying meanings. C. Illustrate a cognitive strategy. D. Clarify a producing process. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自上而下的处理信息帮助我们理解感知到的事物，文章主要解释了这一认知过程。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The processing plays an important role in our interactions with our environment. Our five senses are constantly taking in information. At any given time, we are experiencing different sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and ways things feel when we touch them. If we paid attention to each one of our senses all the time, we’d never do anything else. It enables us to simplify the process by relying on context and our pre-existing knowledge to understand what we notice. If our brains didn’t employ top-down processing our senses would overwhelm us.(这个过程在我们与环境的互动中起着重要的作用。我们的五种感官不断地接收信息。在任何给定的时间，我们都在体验不同的视觉、声音、味道、气味，以及触摸事物时的感觉。如果我们一直关注我们的每一种感官，我们就永远不会做其他事情。它使我们能够通过依赖上下文和我们已有的知识来理解我们注意到的东西，从而简化这个过程。如果我们的大脑不采用自上而下的处理方式，我们的感官就会压倒我们)”可知，作者写第二段的目的是分析自上而下的处理是至关重要的主要原因。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You use the context of the words and sentences in which the smudges appear and your knowledge of reading to comprehend the meaning of the letter’s message. See a word LO*E, with one letter knocked down, yet you are still able to quickly recognize the word as LOVE.(你可以利用出现污迹的单词和句子的上下文以及你的阅读知识来理解信件的意思。看到一个单词“LO*E”，一个字母被敲掉了，但你仍然能很快认出这个单词是“LOVE”)”可知，理解一篇缺少字母的文章的关键是已有的信息。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“On the one hand, top-down processing serves a positive function by simplifying the way we comprehend our sensory perceptions. It enables us to shortcut the cognitive path between our perceptions and their meaning. On the other hand, patterns can also prevent us from perceiving things in unique ways.(一方面，自上而下的处理通过简化我们理解感官知觉的方式起到了积极的作用。它使我们能够缩短我们的感知和它们的意义之间的认知路径。另一方面，模式也可以阻止我们以独特的方式感知事物)”可知，自上而下的处理通常是有益的，但它也有局限性，有时会阻碍我们以新颖的方式感知事物或适应不熟悉的情况的能力。因此，事物都有两面性。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Top-down processing is the process of using context or general knowledge to understand what we perceive (感知). In 1970, psychologist Richard Gregory introduced the concept. He claimed that perception is constructive.(自上而下的处理是使用上下文或一般知识来理解我们所感知的东西的过程。1970年，心理学家理查德·格雷戈里提出了这个概念。他声称感知是建设性的)”，结合文章主要说明了自上而下的处理信息帮助我们理解感知到的事物，文章主要解释了这一认知过程。可知，作者想要说明一个认知策略。故选C。 D Our brains are “programmed” to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) in a series of experiments. Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. This way, we can make inferences about things that we don’t necessarily have direct experience of. This is called memory integration and makes learning quick and flexible. To examine what affects our ability to learn, and make inferences, Ines Bramao, associate-professor of psychology at Lund University, along with his co-workers, set up experiments where participants were tasked with remembering and connecting different objects. It could be a bowl, ball, spoon, scissors, or other everyday objects. It turned out that memory integration was influenced by who presented it. If it was a person the participant liked, connecting the information was easier compared to when the information came from someone the participant disliked. The participants provided individual definitions of “like” and “dislike” based on aspects such as political views, majors, eating habits, favorite sports, hobbies, and music. The findings can be applied in real life, according to the researchers. Ines explained: “Suppose a politician argues for raising taxes to benefit healthcare. Later, you visit a healthcare center and notice improvements have been made. If you side with the politician that wanted to improve healthcare through higher taxes, you’re likely to credit the improvements to the tax increase, even though the improvements might have had a completely different cause.” There’s already vast research describing that people learn information differently depending on the source and how that characterizes polarization and knowledge resistance. “What our research shows is how these significant phenomena can partly be traced back to fundamental principles that govern how our memory works,” says Ines. We tend to form new connections and update knowledge from information presented by groups we favor. 12. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “programmed” in Paragraph 1? A. Enhanced. B. Organized. C. Desire-driven. D. Nature-decided. 13. What did the experiments in Paragraph 3 conclude? A. It’s easier to absorb favorable information. B. It’s beneficial to focus on everyday objects. C. Presenters matter in connecting information. D. Life experiences affect people’s inferences. 14. How did Ines explain the application of his findings? A. By introducing a concept. B. By making an assumption. C. By employing an expert’s words. D. By referring to another experiment. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How brains function in learning B. Who impacts memory integration C. How brains learn from experiences D. What improves long-term memory 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了认知神经科学的研究人员已经证实，人们倾向于从他们喜欢的人身上学习。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) in a series of experiments.(认知神经科学的研究人员在一系列实验中已经证明了这一点)”可知，Our brains are “programmed” to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike.是在一系列实验中发现的结果，属于客观性的事实，由此可推测出，画线词所在句表达的是：我们的大脑被“编程”为从我们喜欢的人那里学到更多，而从我们不喜欢的人身上学到更少，划线单词意为“编程”，此处表达的是大脑先天就被决定的运行模式，与D项“自然决定的”意思最接近。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It turned out that memory integration was influenced by who presented it. If it was a person the participant liked, connecting the information was easier compared to when the information came from someone the participant disliked.(事实证明，记忆整合受呈现者的影响。如果是参与者喜欢的人，那么与信息来自参与者不喜欢的人相比，连接信息更容易)”可知，参与者的记忆整合受呈现者的影响，如果信息呈现者是参与者喜欢的人，那么连接信息会比较容易，由此可推测出，呈现者在连接信息方面起着重要作用。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Ines explained: “Suppose a politician argues for raising taxes to benefit healthcare. Later, you visit a healthcare center and notice improvements have been made. If you side with the politician that wanted to improve healthcare through higher taxes, you’re likely to credit the improvements to the tax increase, even though the improvements might have had a completely different cause.”(Ines解释道：“假设一位政治家主张提高税收以造福医疗保健。后来，你去了一家医疗保健中心，发现情况有所改善。如果你支持希望通过提高税收来改善医疗保健的政治家，你很可能会将这些改善归功于增税，尽管这些改善可能有完全不同的原因。”)”可推测出，Ines在谈及这项发现在现实生活中的运用时，通过假设政治家主张通过增加税收来改善医疗保健的情况来进行解释。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句“Our brains are “programmed” to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike.(我们的大脑被“编程”为从我们喜欢的人那里学到更多，而从我们不喜欢的人身上学到更少)”、第二段“Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. This way, we can make inferences about things that we don’t necessarily have direct experience of. This is called memory integration and makes learning quick and flexible.(记忆起着至关重要的作用，使我们能够从新的经历中学习，更新现有的知识。我们既从个人经历中学习，也从将它们联系起来以得出关于世界的新结论中学习。通过这种方式，我们可以对我们不一定有直接经验的事情进行推断，这被称为记忆整合，使学习快速而灵活)”和最后一段最后一句“We tend to form new connections and update knowledge from information presented by groups we favor.(我们倾向于从我们喜欢的群体提供的信息中形成新的联系并更新知识)”可知，本文主要介绍了认知神经科学的研究人员已经证实，我们倾向于从我们喜欢的人身上学习，根据那些人提供的信息形成新的联系并更新知识，而这是记忆整合，由此可推测出，B项“谁影响了记忆整合”最适合作本文标题。故选B。 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。 Over the past few decades, technology has advanced at an unprecedented rate, revolutionizing industries and shaping new ways of life. ____16____ According to the International Telecommunication Union, a key advocate of technological advancement, the rapid growth of technology has significantly improved the quality of life in numerous communities.

The rapid pace of innovation and the widespread availability of technology make it impossible to turn back. ____20____ A. But how can we take control of technology to our advantage? B. The question arises: Is technological progress beneficial for all? C. This digital divide can lead to increased social and economic gaps. D. However, critics of technological advancement hold a different view. E. These advancements have been particularly evident in rural and underserved areas. F. It ensures that the benefits of technological progress are shared equally across society. G. The challenge now is finding ways to command the power of technology to benefit all. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文属于议论文。文章主要探讨科技进步对社会的影响。科技进步虽带来诸多好处，但也存在负面影响。文章传递的价值和意义在于提醒人们要理性看待科技进步，努力缩小数字鸿沟，让科技更好地造福人类。 【16题详解】 设空位于首段段尾，应是引出下文，根据后文“Those who embrace technological progress argue that it creates new opportunities for individuals and businesses alike.(那些拥护技术进步的人认为，它为个人和企业都创造了新的机会)”以及“Furthermore, critics fear that the unchecked growth of technology may have negative impacts on society and the environment.(此外，批评者担心技术的无限制发展可能会对社会和环境产生负面影响)”可知，本文主要探讨科技进步对社会的影响，在根据前文“Over the past few decades, technology has advanced at an unprecedented rate, revolutionizing industries and shaping new ways of life.(在过去的几十年里，技术以前所未有的速度发展，彻底改变了工业，塑造了新的生活方式)”可知，B项“The question arises: Is technological progress beneficial for all?(问题来了：技术进步对所有人都有利吗?)”承接上文，并引出下文，符合文意。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“According to the International Telecommunication Union, a key advocate of technological advancement, the rapid growth of technology has significantly improved the quality of life in numerous communities. It cites studies that show the integration of technology into daily lives has led to increased efficiency, more access to information, and even progress in healthcare in numerous regions.(国际电信联盟是技术进步的主要倡导者，根据该联盟的说法，技术的快速发展显著提高了许多社区的生活质量。报告援引的研究表明，在许多地区，技术融入日常生活提高了效率，增加了获取信息的渠道，甚至在医疗保健方面取得了进步)”可知，技术进步显著提高了许多社区的生活质量，有很多技术进步带来的好处，所以E项“These advancements have been particularly evident in rural and underserved areas.(这些进步在农村和服务不足地区尤为明显)”与前文提到的研究结果相契合，符合文意。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Those who embrace technological progress argue that it creates new opportunities for individuals and businesses alike. For instance, farmers in remote areas can now access real-time market information and weather updates through smartphones, enabling them to make more informed decisions about their crops. Additionally, small businesses can expand their reach globally through online platforms.(那些拥护技术进步的人认为，它为个人和企业都创造了新的机会。例如，偏远地区的农民现在可以通过智能手机获取实时市场信息和天气更新，使他们能够对自己的作物做出更明智的决定。此外，小企业可以通过在线平台扩大其全球影响力)”以及后文“They argue that while technology may bring benefits to some, it often expands the difference between the technologically informed and the digitally excluded.(他们认为，虽然技术可能给一些人带来好处，但它往往扩大了掌握技术的人和被数字技术排斥的人之间的差距)”可知，前文提到那些拥抱技术进步的人认为它给个人和企业带来了新的机会，但后文却提到批评者认为技术进步虽然可能给一些人带来好处，但往往扩大了技术知情者和数字排斥者之间的差距，前后是转折关系，所以D项“However, critics of technological advancement hold a different view.(然而，技术进步的批评者持有不同的观点)”和前文构成转折关系，并引出下文。故选D项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“They argue that while technology may bring benefits to some, it often expands the difference between the technologically informed and the digitally excluded. Studies conducted by organizations like the United Nations Development Programme reveal that many individuals, particularly those in developing regions or with limited resources, lag behind in accessing and utilizing technological advancements.(他们认为，虽然技术可能给一些人带来好处，但它往往扩大了掌握技术的人和被数字技术排斥的人之间的差距。联合国开发计划署等组织进行的研究表明，许多人，特别是发展中地区或资源有限的人，在获取和利用技术进步方面落后)”可知，前文提到了技术进步会导致生活在发展中地区或资源有限的人，在获取和利用技术进步方面落后，所以C项“This digital divide can lead to increased social and economic gaps.(这种数字鸿沟可能导致社会和经济差距的扩大)”是对前文坏处的总结，符合文意。故选C项。 【20题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“One thing is certain about technological progress—it is an inevitable trend. The rapid pace of innovation and the widespread availability of technology make it impossible to turn back.(关于技术进步，有一点是肯定的——它是一个不可避免的趋势。创新的快速步伐和技术的广泛可用性使其不可能倒退)”可知，作者指出，技术进步是不可避免的，所以G项“The challenge now is finding ways to command the power of technology to benefit all.(现在的挑战是找到方法来控制技术的力量，使所有人受益)”承接上文，点出主题，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 Lee Chong Wei, the 38-year-old Malaysian badminton legend, praised Lin Dan as the greatest badminton player ever in a recent Facebook Live Session (实况转播) on April 16.

Almost everyone made me nervous. I was also a good kid, following rules and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that. It was raining hard that day and the school bus was crowded. Most of the kids were engaged in conversation. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped the window to see the rain outside. The rushing water was filling the street, overflowing the curbs and drains (排水管). The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to clear. I spotted a kitty struggling in what seemed to be a surging river across the street. His body had already been sucked (吸入) into the dark opening of a storm drain, his little front paws seizing the bars tightly. He swallowed water and breathed hard as he fought the current (水流) with all of his strength. My heart was racing, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus to save the poor cat. But I knew that the bus driver, Mrs. Foster, would never allow me off the bus. It was against the rules to even stand up. The bus began to move forward. But the cat’s eyes locked on to mine. He was begging for help. The weight of hopelessness blanketed down around me. Somehow I managed to stand up. “Mrs. Foster!” I cried. Every person on the bus stopped talking and looked at me. “There’s a cat in the drain,” I stammered. “If we don’t help him, he’ll die.” I held out a shaking hand and pointed. Mrs. Foster, to my amazement, did not yell at me. Nor did the other kids laugh at me. Instead, she pulled the bus to the side of the busy road. “Children,” she said strictly. “No one is to leave this bus.” Then Mrs. Foster rushed out into the traffic and rain. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then Mrs. Foster rushed out into the traffic and rain. Without grabbing an umbrella, Mrs. Foster quickly pulled the cat into her arms. She tightly held the terrified creature, removed her own coat to wrap the cat in it, and then raced back to the bus.We all cheered until she gestured us to be quiet. Mrs. Foster handed me the poor little cat. The cat was rescued, and I breathed a sigh of relief. My actions had not only saved a life but also broken some of my own barriers. I found it easier to speak up and connect with people around me and I was no longer shy when I was in any situation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者十岁的时候很害羞，一次乘坐校车的经历改变了这一切。那天雨下得很大，校车很拥挤。大家都在交谈，公共汽车突然停下来，作者看见一只猫对面汹涌的河水中挣扎。作者想赶紧下车去救那只可怜的猫，却以为司机不会让自己救助猫，结果司机却冲向雨中救助猫的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由首句内容“然后福斯特太太冲进了车流中，下着雨。”可知，可描写福特太太救助猫的过程和作者克服害羞的心理。 2.续写线索：福斯特太太救猫——车上人的反应——猫得救了——作者的转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 脱下：remove/ take off 欢呼：cheer/ hail 得救：rescue/ save 情绪类： 宽慰：relief/ comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1]She tightly held the terrified creature, removed her own coat to wrap the cat in it, and then raced back to the bus.（运用了动作链结构） [高分句型2] We all cheered until she gestured us to be quiet.（运用until引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 保密★启用前 2024年高二年级暑假学习质量检查性考试 英语试题 2024.8 注意事项： 1. 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必将姓名、班级等个人信息填写在答题卡指定位置。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答。超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分： 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 7. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. C Top-down processing is the process of using context or general knowledge to understand what we perceive (感知). In 1970, psychologist Richard Gregory introduced the concept. He claimed that perception is constructive. The processing plays an important role in our interactions with our environment. Our five senses are constantly taking in information. At any given time, we are experiencing different sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and ways things feel when we touch them. If we paid attention to each one of our senses all the time, we’d never do anything else. It enables us to simplify the process by relying on context and our pre-existing knowledge to understand what we notice. If our brains didn’t employ top-down processing our senses would overwhelm us. Top-down processing helps us understand what our senses are perceiving in our daily lives. For example, suppose you receive an important letter but a few drops of water have ruined part of the text. A few letters in different words are now just smudges (污迹). Yet, you’re still able to read the letter in its entirety using top-down processing. You use the context of the words and sentences in which the smudges appear and your knowledge of reading to comprehend the meaning of the letter’s message. See a word LO*E, with one letter knocked down, yet you are still able to quickly recognize the word as LOVE. On the one hand, top-down processing serves a positive function by simplifying the way we comprehend our sensory perceptions. It enables us to shortcut the cognitive path between our perceptions and their meaning. On the other hand, patterns can also prevent us from perceiving things in unique ways. So we may understand the pattern of how to use a mobile phone, but if the manufacturer comes out with a new phone that employs completely unique interaction patterns, we may not be able to figure out how to use it. Besides, as our knowledge is limited and biased (片面的) in certain ways, it can lead to perceptual errors. 8. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 2? A. To explain main reasons. B. To give practical examples. C. To draw specific conclusions. D. To analyse theoretical frameworks. 9. What maybe the key to understanding a text with missing letters? A. Pre-existing knowledge. B. Active interactions. C. Five physical senses. D. Lessons from mistakes 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Seeing is believing. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Experience is the best teacher. 11. What does the author intend to do according to the text? A. Introduce a reading method. B. Deepen underlying meanings. C. Illustrate a cognitive strategy. D. Clarify a producing process. D Our brains are “programmed” to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) in a series of experiments. Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. This way, we can make inferences about things that we don’t necessarily have direct experience of. This is called memory integration and makes learning quick and flexible. To examine what affects our ability to learn, and make inferences, Ines Bramao, associate-professor of psychology at Lund University, along with his co-workers, set up experiments where participants were tasked with remembering and connecting different objects. It could be a bowl, ball, spoon, scissors, or other everyday objects. It turned out that memory integration was influenced by who presented it. If it was a person the participant liked, connecting the information was easier compared to when the information came from someone the participant disliked. The participants provided individual definitions of “like” and “dislike” based on aspects such as political views, majors, eating habits, favorite sports, hobbies, and music. The findings can be applied in real life, according to the researchers. Ines explained: “Suppose a politician argues for raising taxes to benefit healthcare. Later, you visit a healthcare center and notice improvements have been made. If you side with the politician that wanted to improve healthcare through higher taxes, you’re likely to credit the improvements to the tax increase, even though the improvements might have had a completely different cause.” There’s already vast research describing that people learn information differently depending on the source and how that characterizes polarization and knowledge resistance. “What our research shows is how these significant phenomena can partly be traced back to fundamental principles that govern how our memory works,” says Ines. We tend to form new connections and update knowledge from information presented by groups we favor. 12. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “programmed” in Paragraph 1? A. Enhanced. B. Organized. C. Desire-driven. D. Nature-decided. 13. What did the experiments in Paragraph 3 conclude? A. It’s easier to absorb favorable information. B. It’s beneficial to focus on everyday objects. C. Presenters matter in connecting information. D. Life experiences affect people’s inferences. 14. How did Ines explain the application of his findings? A. By introducing a concept. B. By making an assumption. C. By employing an expert’s words. D. By referring to another experiment. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How brains function in learning B. Who impacts memory integration C. How brains learn from experiences D. What improves long-term memory 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。 Over the past few decades, technology has advanced at an unprecedented rate, revolutionizing industries and shaping new ways of life. ____16____ According to the International Telecommunication Union, a key advocate of technological advancement, the rapid growth of technology has significantly improved the quality of life in numerous communities.

Almost everyone made me nervous. I was also a good kid, following rules and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that. It was raining hard that day and the school bus was crowded. Most of the kids were engaged in conversation. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped the window to see the rain outside. The rushing water was filling the street, overflowing the curbs and drains (排水管). The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to clear. I spotted a kitty struggling in what seemed to be a surging river across the street. His body had already been sucked (吸入) into the dark opening of a storm drain, his little front paws seizing the bars tightly. He swallowed water and breathed hard as he fought the current (水流) with all of his strength. My heart was racing, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus to save the poor cat. But I knew that the bus driver, Mrs. Foster, would never allow me off the bus. It was against the rules to even stand up. The bus began to move forward. But the cat’s eyes locked on to mine. He was begging for help. The weight of hopelessness blanketed down around me. Somehow I managed to stand up. “Mrs. Foster!” I cried. Every person on the bus stopped talking and looked at me. “There’s a cat in the drain,” I stammered. “If we don’t help him, he’ll die.” I held out a shaking hand and pointed. Mrs. Foster, to my amazement, did not yell at me. Nor did the other kids laugh at me. Instead, she pulled the bus to the side of the busy road. “Children,” she said strictly. “No one is to leave this bus.” Then Mrs. Foster rushed out into the traffic and rain. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
