Here we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK. Grosvenor Park, Chester Every summer come July, Storyhouse theatre packs up their props, moves sideways Dow the road and builds an entire amphitheatre (露天剧场) in Grosvenor Park. The Gangs of New York — a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young will be on show here. I don’t think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like a wild pick for a summer outdoor show. Thorington Theatre, Suffolk A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world built in a natural amphitheatre hidden in the Suffolk woodlands. This year’s programme includes family favorites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Built into a cliff face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre; seeing anything at all, back dropped by the sky- blue Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. You can also now order a picnic from the local supper club Husk to meet you an hour before your show in an adjoining field. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance played in September. Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s Situated in the country’s oldest theatre, this year the festival offers a mix of straight classics, modern retelling and brand-new scripts. The whole line- up looks excellent but I’m a sucker for any production of Sondheim’s Into the Woods, and as the name suggests, there’s no better place to see it than an outdoor theatre. 1. Which of the following best describes“ The Gangs of New York”? A. A cross-cultural adaptation. B. A traditional summer show. C. A new and unconventional choice. D. A well-performed Shakespeare story. 2. How does Husk contribute to the experience at Minack Theatre? A. By organizing guided tours. B. By providing picnic options. C. By offering backstage passes. D. By hosting manual workshops. 3. What do the four theatres have in common? A. They put on unrealistic dramas. B. They are in harmony with nature. C. They are welcomed by the children. D. They enjoy sound reputation in winter. B We’ve all encountered that person who comes back from the gym or a run seemingly high on life. Scientists say that even a single exercise period can alter your neurochemistry in ways that create feelings of hope, calm, connection, and a generally better mood. However, some people feel worn out after a workout. “It’s normal not to find exercise rewarding,” said Daniel Lieberman, a scientist at Harvard University. “There’s nothing wrong with you.” Recent discoveries reveal that exercise produces a complex cocktail of “feel-good” chemicals, not just endorphins. Key players include endocannabinoids, which create a rush of excitement, dopamine, which creates a sense of reward, serotonin, which helps you feel focused and calm, and oxytocin, which enhances social connections. The body likely evolved to respond to physical activity to help early humans endure hours of hunting and gathering. The first 20 to 30 minutes of exercise often feel challenging because it takes about that long for the endocannabinoid system to lift your mood. Consistent exercise over about three weeks helps develop a strong dopamine reward system, making exercise more rewarding over time. Exercising with friends or in groups can provide an additional oxytocin boost, enhancing social connections. All types of exercise, including aerobic, resistance, and mindfulness practices like yoga, release mood- enhancing chemicals. It’s beneficial to find activities you enjoy or at least don’t hate to ensure consistent engagement. To optimize your exercise routine, experiment with different types of activities until you find one you love, and track your mood and enjoyment to guide your choices. 4. What does the phrase “high on life” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Exploring something novel. B. Experiencing overall happiness. C. Achieving a new perspective. D. Cultivating a sense of gratitude. 5. How does the body’s response to exercise help with endurance? A. By reducing energy spending. B. By conserving muscle strength. C. By decreasing oxygen consumption. D. By improving mood and motivation. 6. Why is it suggested to find an activity you like according to the text? A. To nurture close friendships. B. To facilitate forgetting concerns. C. To support long- term involvement. D. To maintain physical fitness levels. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Exercise releases multiple chemicals. B. Exercise promotes emotional balance. C. Exercise increases specific health conditions. D. Exercise boosts mood via chemical releases. C The Antarctic, a continent encircled by ocean, faces far- reaching threats from global warming, often underappreciated due to its remoteness and perceived stability. However, this perception is changing as the continent shows alarming signs of significant melting, with serious global consequences. As Antarctica melts, the gravitation al pull of its shrinking ice weakens, causing sea levels elsewhere to rise faster, disproportionately (过度地、不成比例地) affecting North America, Australia, and Oceania. Melting ice sheets do more than raise sea levels; they alter atmospheric circulation, impacting weather in regions like the Sahel and Amazonia. Additionally, the Southern Ocean, a major carbon sink , absorbs 40% of the oceans’ carbon dioxide annually. Warming reduces this absorption, further affected by the flowing of trillions of tonnes of freshwater from melting ice, which alters ocean currents. Despite these urgent issues, some countries are cutting Antarctic research budgets, a shortsighted move that restricts critical measurement and modeling of ice sheets. Addressing this deficiency (缺乏) is essential for understanding and easing the escalating crisis. The implications of the worsening situation need to be properly appreciated and planned for, requiring swift action to improve the study of ice sheets, atmosphere, and ocean currents. If the Antarctic continues to melt, the consequences will extend far beyond rising sea levels. It will cause shifts in atmospheric circulation that affect weather patterns globally and reduce the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide, worsening climate change. This underlines the urgency of increasing investment in Antarctic research to better predict and manage the impacts of global warming. The need for comprehensive measurement and modeling of ice sheets is critical, as current understanding is outdated behind the study of the atmosphere and ocean currents. Governments must prioritize and fund Antarctic research to address these challenges effectively and ensure global preparedness for the changes already underway. 8. What does the melting of Antarctic ice primarily impact? A. Local ecosystems. B. Ocean temperature. C. Global sea levels. D. Atmospheric pressure. 9. What effect does freshwater from melting ice have on the Southern Ocean? A It enhances the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide. B. It disturbs ocean currents and lowers carbon dioxide absorption. C. It stabilizes ocean currents and increases carbon dioxide absorption. D. It leaves the Southern Ocean’s carbon absorption capacity unchanged. 10. What does the text imply about current Antarctic research funding levels? A. They must be expanded to manage the crisis. B. They might be adequate to respond to the crisis. C. They should be minimized to a smaller amount. D. They can be less crucial for climate understanding. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A science- themed book. B. A policy- focused report. C. A climate- oriented proposal. D. A marine- centred curriculum. D Getting a clear sense of what happens inside the brain, why it happens, and its importance to the human experience are monumental challenges. Despite the odds, neuroscientists continue to move forward with determination and persistence. And they have made incredible progress over recent decades. Some of these brave souls investigate a particularly difficult- to- study topic: sleep. Although every human who has ever lived on Earth has experienced this phenomenon, sleep is still covered in mystery. We do not understand the full story, but it is now clear that one of sleep’s roles is to solidify, or consolidate memories. Scientists believe that during waking hours, our brains are ready to make or“ encode” new memories. But during sleep, our brains switch to consolidation mode. When you first learn something during the day, your brain lays down a“ memory trace.” Initially, this trace is particularly susceptible to disturbances. In other words, it is easy to forget. Then, during sleep, this memory is consolidated — the memory trace is stabilized. On a cellular level, memories are formed by changing the strength of synaptic (突触的) connections in a network that represents a memory. During sleep, synapses — the connections between brain cells — are remodeled, producing permanent changes that solidify the memory trace, helping create long- term memories. Researchers have shown that going to sleep shortly after learning something helps the brain consolidate declarative memories more efficiently. What is declarative memory? Declarative memory is defined as recalling events and facts, such as the name of your friends and what you ate last night. In one study, researchers asked participants to learn word pairs. They found that people who went to sleep shortly after the task performed better 24 hours later than those who did not sleep until longer after the task. Another study, which involved high school students learning new vocabulary had similar results: Those who went to sleep just a few hours after learning sustained memories better than those who went to sleep many hours after learning. 12. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How memory consolidation works. B. What strengthens memory traces. C. Why new memories are removed. D. How sleep blocks long- term memory. 13. What is declarative memory according to the passage? A. Remembering historical events. B. Remembering how to ride a bike. C. Remembering the feeling of love. D. Remembering how to tie shoelaces. 14. What similarity is noted between the two studies in the last paragraph? A. Both involved different age groups. B. Both used identical experimental data. C. Both focused on physical health impacts. D. Both found sleep timing affected memory. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explore how sleep benefits memory. B. To examine why sleep maintains brain activity. C. To investigate why extended sleep affects health. D. To illustrate how the brain functions during sleep. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The quote“ There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” is often attributed to Ernest Hemingway. ___16___ At its core, the quote encourages us to reflect on what true nobility means and where it can be found. The first part of the quote,“ There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man,” stresses the idea that the pursuit of superiority over others is not internally noble.

It’s about learning, evolving, and becoming a more merciful, empathetic (共情), and virtuous individual. In essence, Hemingway’s quote invites us to reevaluate our priorities and values. It encourages us to shift our focus from external comparisons and competitions to the inner journey of self- improvement and growth. True nobility lies not in outshining others but in outgrowing our former selves. ___20___ A. It’s the pursuit of personal goals and values. B. Self- discipline is an essential aspect of human existence. C. The quote also offers an alternative perspective on nobility. D. They believe it to be a mark of success or a good reputation. E.

The heart of this tradition is a young girl named Emily, whose beauty and kindness have made her a beloved figure among the locals. Emily’s hobby is as colorful and vibrant as her personality: she paints rocks and hides them around the lake for walkers to discover. Emily’s painted rocks are more than just simple stones; they are miniature works of art. Each rock she selects is carefully cleaned and then transformed into something magical. Some are adorned with complicated patterns, others with creative creatures or inspiring quotes. The vibrant colors and detailed designs make each rock a treasure in its own right. On a sunny morning, you might find Emily sitting by the lake, her art supplies spread out on a blanket. She often gets lost in her work, her brush moving gracefully over the smooth surfaces of the stones. Her fingers, stained with a rainbow of hues, move with the grace and precision of a seasoned artist. It’s during these moments that Emily feels most at peace, connected to nature and her community through her art. The residents have come to cherish these painted rocks, seeing them as symbols of hope and happiness. It has become a local pastime to stroll around the lake, eyes scanning the ground for a glimpse of color that signals a new discovery. The joy of finding one of Emily’s rocks is indescribable; it’s as if you’ve stumbled upon a hidden piece of her heart. One day, Mrs. Thompson, an elderly woman who lives alone, found a rock painted with a sunflower on her usual morning walk. The bright yellow petals seemed to radiate warmth, and a smile spread across her face. She carried the rock home, placing it on her windowsill where it could catch the sunlight. For Mrs. Thompson, that small piece of art brought a sense of companionship and light into her home. 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。 Children are especially enchanted by Emily’s creations. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily’s generosity does not go unnoticed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2. 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。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

Scientists say that even a single exercise period can alter your neurochemistry in ways that create feelings of hope, calm, connection, and a generally better mood. However, some people feel worn out after a workout. “It’s normal not to find exercise rewarding,” said Daniel Lieberman, a scientist at Harvard University. “There’s nothing wrong with you.” Recent discoveries reveal that exercise produces a complex cocktail of “feel-good” chemicals, not just endorphins. Key players include endocannabinoids, which create a rush of excitement, dopamine, which creates a sense of reward, serotonin, which helps you feel focused and calm, and oxytocin, which enhances social connections. The body likely evolved to respond to physical activity to help early humans endure hours of hunting and gathering. The first 20 to 30 minutes of exercise often feel challenging because it takes about that long for the endocannabinoid system to lift your mood. Consistent exercise over about three weeks helps develop a strong dopamine reward system, making exercise more rewarding over time. Exercising with friends or in groups can provide an additional oxytocin boost, enhancing social connections. All types of exercise, including aerobic, resistance, and mindfulness practices like yoga, release mood- enhancing chemicals. It’s beneficial to find activities you enjoy or at least don’t hate to ensure consistent engagement. To optimize your exercise routine, experiment with different types of activities until you find one you love, and track your mood and enjoyment to guide your choices. 4. What does the phrase “high on life” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Exploring something novel. B. Experiencing overall happiness. C. Achieving a new perspective. D. Cultivating a sense of gratitude. 5. How does the body’s response to exercise help with endurance? A. By reducing energy spending. B. By conserving muscle strength. C. By decreasing oxygen consumption. D. By improving mood and motivation. 6. Why is it suggested to find an activity you like according to the text? A. To nurture close friendships. B. To facilitate forgetting concerns. C. To support long- term involvement. D. To maintain physical fitness levels. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Exercise releases multiple chemicals. B. Exercise promotes emotional balance. C. Exercise increases specific health conditions. D. Exercise boosts mood via chemical releases. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7.

Consistent exercise over about three weeks helps develop a strong dopamine reward system, making exercise more rewarding over time（需要这么长时间内源性大麻素系统才能提升你的情绪。持续大约三周的锻炼有助于建立强大的多巴胺奖励系统，使锻炼随着时间的推移变得更加有回报。）”可知，身体通过改善情绪和动机来帮助耐力。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s beneficial to find activities you enjoy or at least don’t hate to ensure consistent engagement（找到你喜欢的活动，或者至少不讨厌的活动是有益的，以确保持续的参与。）”可知，建议找到自己喜欢的活动是为了支持长期的参与。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists say that even a single exercise period can alter your neurochemistry in ways that create feelings of hope, calm, connection, and a generally better mood (科学家说，即使是一次锻炼也能改变你的神经化学，产生希望、平静、联系和更好的心情)”、第二段“Recent discoveries reveal that exercise produces a complex cocktail of “ feel- good” chemicals, not just endorphins.( 最近的发现表明，运动不仅会产生内啡肽，还会释放出一系列让人感觉良好的复杂化学物质)”、倒数第二段“Exercising with friends or in groups can provide an additional oxytocin boost, enhancing social connections.( 与朋友或团体一起锻炼可以增加催产素，增强社交联系)”以及最后一段“To optimize your exercise routine, experiment with different types of activities until you find one you love, and track your mood and enjoyment to guide your choices(要优化你的锻炼计划，尝试不同类型的活动直到找到你喜欢的，并跟踪你的情绪和享受程度来指导你的选择)”可知，文章主要讲述了锻炼如何通过释放多种化学物质来提高情绪，并且解释了这些化学物质是如何作用于人体的。因此，本文的主要内容是锻炼通过化学物质的释放来提升情绪。故选D项。 C The Antarctic, a continent encircled by ocean, faces far- reaching threats from global warming, often underappreciated due to its remoteness and perceived stability. However, this perception is changing as the continent shows alarming signs of significant melting, with serious global consequences. As Antarctica melts, the gravitation al pull of its shrinking ice weakens, causing sea levels elsewhere to rise faster, disproportionately (过度地、不成比例地) affecting North America, Australia, and Oceania. Melting ice sheets do more than raise sea levels; they alter atmospheric circulation, impacting weather in regions like the Sahel and Amazonia. Additionally, the Southern Ocean, a major carbon sink , absorbs 40% of the oceans’ carbon dioxide annually. Warming reduces this absorption, further affected by the flowing of trillions of tonnes of freshwater from melting ice, which alters ocean currents. Despite these urgent issues, some countries are cutting Antarctic research budgets, a shortsighted move that restricts critical measurement and modeling of ice sheets. Addressing this deficiency (缺乏) is essential for understanding and easing the escalating crisis. The implications of the worsening situation need to be properly appreciated and planned for, requiring swift action to improve the study of ice sheets, atmosphere, and ocean currents. If the Antarctic continues to melt, the consequences will extend far beyond rising sea levels. It will cause shifts in atmospheric circulation that affect weather patterns globally and reduce the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide, worsening climate change. This underlines the urgency of increasing investment in Antarctic research to better predict and manage the impacts of global warming. The need for comprehensive measurement and modeling of ice sheets is critical, as current understanding is outdated behind the study of the atmosphere and ocean currents. Governments must prioritize and fund Antarctic research to address these challenges effectively and ensure global preparedness for the changes already underway. 8. What does the melting of Antarctic ice primarily impact? A. Local ecosystems. B. Ocean temperature. C. Global sea levels. D. Atmospheric pressure. 9. What effect does freshwater from melting ice have on the Southern Ocean? A. It enhances the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide. B. It disturbs ocean currents and lowers carbon dioxide absorption. C. It stabilizes ocean currents and increases carbon dioxide absorption. D. It leaves the Southern Ocean’s carbon absorption capacity unchanged. 10. What does the text imply about current Antarctic research funding levels? A. They must be expanded to manage the crisis. B. They might be adequate to respond to the crisis. C. They should be minimized to a smaller amount. D. They can be less crucial for climate understanding. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A science- themed book. B. A policy- focused report. C. A climate- oriented proposal. D. A marine- centred curriculum. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了南极洲因全球变暖面临严重融化问题，这不仅会导致海平面上升，还会影响大气环流和海洋吸收二氧化碳的能力，而一些国家却在削减南极研究预算，强调了增加南极研究投资的紧迫性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As Antarctica melts, the gravitational pull of its shrinking ice weakens, causing sea levels elsewhere to rise faster(随着南极洲的融化，其不断缩小的冰川的引力减弱，导致其他地方的海平面上升得更快)”可知，南极冰的融化主要影响全球海平面。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Additionally, the Southern Ocean, a major carbon sink , absorbs 40% of the oceans’ carbon dioxide annually. Warming reduces this absorption, further affected by the flowing of trillions of tonnes of freshwater from melting ice, which alters ocean currents(此外，作为主要的碳汇，南大洋每年吸收海洋中40%的二氧化碳。气候变暖降低了其吸收能力，而融化冰层释放的数万亿吨淡水流动进一步改变了洋流)”可知，融化的冰产生的淡水扰乱了洋流，降低了二氧化碳的吸收。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“some countries are cutting Antarctic research budgets, a shortsighted move(一些国家正在削减南极研究预算，这是一个短视的举动）”以及第四段“This underlines the urgency of increasing investment in Antarctic research to better predict and manage the impacts of global warming.(这凸显了增加南极研究投资的紧迫性，以便更好地预测和管理全球变暖的影响)”可知，目前的南极研究资金水平必须扩大以应对危机。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As Antarctica melts, the gravitation al pull of its shrinking ice weakens, causing sea levels elsewhere to rise faster, disproportionately (过度地、不成比例地) affecting North America, Australia, and Oceania.(随着南极洲融化，其冰层缩小导致的引力减弱，使得其他地区的海平面上升速度加快，对北美洲、澳大利亚和大洋洲的影响尤为不成比例)”、第二段“Additionally, the Southern Ocean, a major carbon sink , absorbs 40% of the oceans’ carbon dioxide annually. Warming reduces this absorption, further affected by the flowing of trillions of tonnes of freshwater from melting ice, which alters ocean currents(此外，作为主要的碳汇，南大洋每年吸收海洋中40%的二氧化碳。气候变暖降低了其吸收能力，而融化冰层释放的数万亿吨淡水流动进一步改变了洋流)”、第三段“some countries are cutting Antarctic research budgets, a shortsighted move(一些国家正在削减南极研究预算，这是一个短视的举动）”以及第四段“This underlines the urgency of increasing investment in Antarctic research to better predict and manage the impacts of global warming.（这凸显了增加南极研究投资的紧迫性，以便更好地预测和管理全球变暖的影响)”可知，整篇文章讨论了南极冰层融化所带来的严重后果，并呼吁增加南极研究的资金投入以应对这些挑战。因此，本文最有可能出自一份以气候为导向的研究提案。故选C项。 D Getting a clear sense of what happens inside the brain, why it happens, and its importance to the human experience are monumental challenges. Despite the odds, neuroscientists continue to move forward with determination and persistence. And they have made incredible progress over recent decades. Some of these brave souls investigate a particularly difficult- to- study topic: sleep. Although every human who has ever lived on Earth has experienced this phenomenon, sleep is still covered in mystery. We do not understand the full story, but it is now clear that one of sleep’s roles is to solidify, or consolidate memories. Scientists believe that during waking hours, our brains are ready to make or“ encode” new memories. But during sleep, our brains switch to consolidation mode. When you first learn something during the day, your brain lays down a“ memory trace.” Initially, this trace is particularly susceptible to disturbances. In other words, it is easy to forget. Then, during sleep, this memory is consolidated — the memory trace is stabilized. On a cellular level, memories are formed by changing the strength of synaptic (突触的) connections in a network that represents a memory. During sleep, synapses — the connections between brain cells — are remodeled, producing permanent changes that solidify the memory trace, helping create long- term memories. Researchers have shown that going to sleep shortly after learning something helps the brain consolidate declarative memories more efficiently. What is declarative memory? Declarative memory is defined as recalling events and facts, such as the name of your friends and what you ate last night. In one study, researchers asked participants to learn word pairs. They found that people who went to sleep shortly after the task performed better 24 hours later than those who did not sleep until longer after the task. Another study, which involved high school students learning new vocabulary had similar results: Those who went to sleep just a few hours after learning sustained memories better than those who went to sleep many hours after learning. 12. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How memory consolidation works. B. What strengthens memory traces. C. Why new memories are removed. D. How sleep blocks long- term memory. 13. What is declarative memory according to the passage? A. Remembering historical events. B. Remembering how to ride a bike. C. Remembering the feeling of love. D. Remembering how to tie shoelaces. 14. What similarity is noted between the two studies in the last paragraph? A Both involved different age groups. B. Both used identical experimental data. C. Both focused on physical health impacts. D. Both found sleep timing affected memory. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explore how sleep benefits memory. B. To examine why sleep maintains brain activity. C. To investigate why extended sleep affects health. D. To illustrate how the brain functions during sleep. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15.

In other words, it is easy to forget. Then, during sleep, this memory is consolidated — the memory trace is stabilized. On a cellular level, memories are formed by changing the strength of synaptic connections in a network that represents a memory. During sleep, synapses — the connections between brain cells — are remodeled, producing permanent changes that solidify the memory trace, helping create long-term memories.( 当你在白天第一次学习某事时，你大脑会留下一个“记忆痕迹”。最初，这个痕迹特别容易受到干扰。换句话说，它很容易忘记。然后，在睡眠中，这个记忆会被巩固——记忆痕迹被稳定下来。在细胞层面上，记忆是通过改变代表记忆的网络中的突触连接的强度来形成的。在睡眠中，突触——大脑细胞之间的连接——被重塑，产生永久的变化，使记忆痕迹固化，帮助创建长期记忆)” 可知，本段主要解释了记忆是如何在睡眠过程中得到巩固的过程。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Declarative memory is defined as recalling events and facts, such as the name of your friends and what you ate last night.( 陈述性记忆是指回忆事件和事实，例如朋友的名字以及昨晚吃了什么)” 可知，陈述性记忆指的是回忆事件和事实的能力，如记住朋友的名字或昨晚吃了什么。可知，A选项“记住历史事件”是陈述性记忆。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段描述的两项研究，“In one study, researchers asked participants to learn word pairs. They found that people who went to sleep shortly after the task performed better 24 hours later than those who did not sleep until longer after the task. Another study, which involved high school students learning new vocabulary had similar results: Those who went to sleep just a few hours after learning sustained memories better than those who went to sleep many hours after learning(在一项研究中，研究人员让参与者学习单词对。他们发现，任务完成后不久就睡觉的人在24小时后的表现比那些在任务后很久才睡觉的人要好。另一项涉及高中生学习新词汇的研究也得到了类似的结果：那些在学习后几小时就睡觉的学生记忆保持得比那些在学习后很久才睡觉的学生要好)” 可知，这两项研究都表明，学习之后较早入睡的人比那些较晚入睡的人有更好的记忆保持效果。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Getting a clear sense of what happens inside the brain, why it happens, and its importance to the human experience are monumental challenges(清楚地了解大脑内部发生的事情、为什么会发生以及它对人类体验的重要性，是巨大的挑战)”、第二段“Despite the odds, neuroscientists continue to move forward with determination and persistence. And they have made incredible progress over recent decades. Some of these brave souls investigate a particularly difficult- to- study topic: sleep.(尽管困难重重，神经科学家们仍然坚定不移地继续前进。近几十年来，他们已经取得了令人难以置信的进步。其中一些勇敢的人研究了一个特别难以研究的课题：睡眠)”以及最后一段“In one study, researchers asked participants to learn word pairs.

Another study, which involved high school students learning new vocabulary had similar results: Those who went to sleep just a few hours after learning sustained memories better than those who went to sleep many hours after learning(在一项研究中，研究人员让参与者学习单词对。他们发现，完成任务后不久就去睡觉的人在24小时后的表现比那些在任务后很久才去睡觉的人要好。另一项涉及高中生学习新词汇的研究也有类似的结果：那些在学习后仅几小时就去睡觉的人比那些在学习后很多小时才去睡觉的人记忆保持得更好)”可知，全文围绕睡眠如何促进记忆的巩固展开，通过科学研究展示了睡眠对于记忆的重要性。因此，作者写作的目的主要是为了探索睡眠如何有利于记忆的形成和巩固。故选A项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The quote“ There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” is often attributed to Ernest Hemingway. ___16___ At its core, the quote encourages us to reflect on what true nobility means and where it can be found. The first part of the quote,“ There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man,” stresses the idea that the pursuit of superiority over others is not internally noble. Often, people are driven to compete, compare, or advocate dominance over their peers. ___17___ However, Hemingway suggests that this form of superiority, achieved at the expense of others, lacks true nobility. It can lead to bighead, division, and a sense of emptiness. ___18___ That“ true nobility is being superior to your former self” emphasizes the idea that the most meaningful and virtuous form of superiority is one’s continual self- improvement and personal growth instead of measuring oneself against others. Individuals should strive to become better versions of themselves. What is the concept of self- improvement? It implies a commitment to self- awareness.___19___ It suggests that nobility is found in the modesty to acknowledge one’s flaws (缺点) and weaknesses, and the determination to overcome them. It’s about learning, evolving, and becoming a more merciful, empathetic (共情的), and virtuous individual. In essence, Hemingway’s quote invites us to reevaluate our priorities and values. It encourages us to shift our focus from external comparisons and competitions to the inner journey of self- improvement and growth. True nobility lies not in outshining others but in outgrowing our former selves. ___20___ A. It’s the pursuit of personal goals and values. B. Self- discipline is an essential aspect of human existence. C. The quote also offers an alternative perspective on nobility. D. They believe it to be a mark of success or a good reputation. E. The quote explores the concept of nobility and personal growth. F. That will truly help us become the best versions of who we can be. G. So try to find alternative solutions and adjust the exceptions accordingly. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. A 20.

The heart of this tradition is a young girl named Emily, whose beauty and kindness have made her a beloved figure among the locals. Emily’s hobby is as colorful and vibrant as her personality: she paints rocks and hides them around the lake for walkers to discover. Emily’s painted rocks are more than just simple stones; they are miniature works of art. Each rock she selects is carefully cleaned and then transformed into something magical. Some are adorned with complicated patterns, others with creative creatures or inspiring quotes. The vibrant colors and detailed designs make each rock a treasure in its own right. On a sunny morning, you might find Emily sitting by the lake, her art supplies spread out on a blanket. She often gets lost in her work, her brush moving gracefully over the smooth surfaces of the stones. Her fingers, stained with a rainbow of hues, move with the grace and precision of a seasoned artist. It’s during these moments that Emily feels most at peace, connected to nature and her community through her art. The residents have come to cherish these painted rocks, seeing them as symbols of hope and happiness. It has become a local pastime to stroll around the lake, eyes scanning the ground for a glimpse of color that signals a new discovery. The joy of finding one of Emily’s rocks is indescribable; it’s as if you’ve stumbled upon a hidden piece of her heart. One day, Mrs. Thompson, an elderly woman who lives alone, found a rock painted with a sunflower on her usual morning walk. The bright yellow petals seemed to radiate warmth, and a smile spread across her face. She carried the rock home, placing it on her windowsill where it could catch the sunlight. For Mrs. Thompson, that small piece of art brought a sense of companionship and light into her home. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Children are especially enchanted by Emily’s creations. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily’s generosity does not go unnoticed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Children are especially enchanted by Emily’s creations.

One day, when Emily was sitting by the lake as usual, the residents and children gathered around her. They presented her with a bouquet of flowers and a handmade card expressing their gratitude. Tears welled up in Emily’s eyes as she realized the impact her small act of kindness had on so many.
