About an hour into the first day, obvious discomfort and shyness of a boy caught my eye. I could sense that this whole experience was foreign to him. He needed a friend. I walked towards him, made my first interaction but failed. At lunch the next day, as the campers eagerly participated in the camp song, my gaze wandered over noise and was caught by the boy under the tree, sitting alone and staring out of the window. I tried again, with the same questions as before. He again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really get into this stuff.” As I left the cafeteria, I realized this was going to take more time and effort - if it was even possible to get through to him at all. Days flew with me spending more time with him and finally came the camp night when I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy, once confined to the shadows of the tree, was a dancing wonder. I watched as he shared the meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was the same person. A few months after the camp, I received an unexpected call from the boy, who informed me of his ongoing immigration to a foreign country. A long pause followed and then he said, “I went back to school with confidence. I made new friends. My grades went up. The past few months were the best of my life.” In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for their own “boy under the tree”. 24. How did the boy feel at the beginning of the leadership camp? A. Anxious and bored. B. Uneasy and lonely. C. Proud and enthusiastic. D. Comfortable and confident. 25. What did the author suggest by mentioning “a dancing wonder” in Paragraph 3? A. The boy was expert in dancing. B. The boy became the focus of the camp. C. The boy contributed considerably to the camp night. D. The boy began to open up and socialize with others. 26. The boy called the author mainly to . A. show off his recent progress B. express his gratitude to the author C. recall the best memories in the camp D. share concerns about the approaching immigration 27. What message does the story convey? A. Camps help students shape their character B. Every student has the opportunity to shine. C. Sincere care makes a difference to students’ growth. D. Reserved students face more challenges in their lives. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者在密歇根高中领导营地中遇到一个害羞、不适应的男孩，并通过与他的接触与交流，帮助他逐渐走出内向，融入团体，并在之后的生活中取得了积极的变化，表达了人们应该关注他人、关注周围的细节，用自己的行动去感染和帮助他人。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was invited to be an instructor at a high-school leadership camp in Michigan. About an hour into the first day, obvious discomfort and shyness of a boy caught my eye.  I could sense that this whole experience was foreign to him. He needed a friend.(我被邀请到密歇根州的一个高中领导训练营做讲师。第一天开始大约一个小时，一个男孩明显的不安和害羞吸引了我的注意。我能感觉到这整个经历对他来说是陌生的。他需要一个朋友。)”可知，这个男孩在领导训练营开始时是不安和孤独的。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Days flew with me spending more time with him and finally came the camp night when I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy, once confined to the shadows of the tree, was a dancing wonder. I watched as he shared the meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.(日子一天天过去，我花了更多的时间和他在一起，终于在营地的那个晚上，我看到了我一生中最生动的记忆之一。这个曾经躲在树的阴影里的男孩，是个跳舞的奇才。我看着他与几天前他甚至不敢看的人分享这段有意义的时光。我简直不敢相信是同一个人)”可知，本段作者提到“a dancing wonder”是为了说明这个男孩开始敞开心扉，与他人交往。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A few months after the camp, I received an unexpected call from the boy, who informed me of his ongoing immigration to a foreign country. A long pause followed and then he said, “I went back to school with confidence. I made new friends. My grades went up. The past few months were the best of my life.”(夏令营结束几个月后，我意外地接到了那个男孩的电话，他告诉我他正在移居国外。沉默了很长时间，然后他说：“我自信地回到学校。我交了新朋友。我的成绩提高了。过去的几个月是我一生中最美好的时光。”)”可知，男孩给作者打电话，主要是表达他对作者的感激。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for their own “boy under the tree”.(在那一刻，我意识到每天付出一点是多么容易。你可能永远不知道每个手势对别人意味着什么。我尽可能多地讲这个故事，当我这样做的时候，我敦促其他人注意他们自己的“树下男孩”。)”可知，这个故事传达了真诚的关怀对学生的成长至关重要。故选C项。 C Most solar panels (太阳能电池板) acquire sunlight from only one side, meaning they can get more or less of it depending on where the sun is in the sky. In recent years, they’ve become far more effective, generally turning around 22 percent of the light they acquire into energy. In a new study published in the journal Joule on Tuesday, scientists introduce a way to increase that percentage even higher: double-sided solar panels that can move to follow the sun. Basically, these panels can acquire sun from not only their sun-facing side but also from the light reflected off the ground onto their dark undersides. At the same time, a GPS allows them to move on an axis (轴) from east to west in order to always be pointed at a best angle to acquire the sun’s rays. Though double-sided solar panels and sun-following solar panels are both in use currently, models that combine the two technologies aren’t widely available for commercial use. Solar experts predict rapid growth in the market soon, though. The study authors determined that these two-sided sun-tracking panels produce an average of 35 percent more energy than single-panel systems that don’t move, and are 16 percent cheaper. That holds true even when taking into account changes in weather conditions. “This means that investing in double-sided and tracking systems should be a safe bet for the future, ” Carlos Rodriguez-Gallegos, the study’s lead author, said. The same warnings for solar panels and their effect on the local environment apply to the double-sided, moving systems as well, if not more so. Lead used in solar panels can be one source of local pollution, and Dustin Mulvaney, an associate professor of environmental studies, told Earther in an email double-sided panels could mean “twice as much lead” as traditional solar systems. Since these new panels are more energy efficient, they could save not only money but also land. That would require changing how solar contracts work today. 28. What does most solar panels rely on to acquire sunlight according to the passage? A. The amount of sunlight. B. The location of the sun. C. The quality of solar panels. D. The size of solar panels. 29. What does the underlined word “them” in the second paragraph refer to? A. The sun’s rays. B. The panels’ undersides. C. The double-sided panels D. The panels’ sun-facing sides. 30. What’s Carlos Rodriguez -Gallegos’ attitude towards the two-sided solar panels? A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. 31. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Double-Sided Solar Panels that Follow the Sun B. Advantages of the Double-Sided Solar Panels C. Application of the Double-Sided Solar Panels D. Double-Sided Solar Panels and Single-Sided Solar Panels 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究，科学家们发明了一种可以跟随太阳移动的双面太阳能电池板。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Most solar panels (太阳能电池板) acquire sunlight from only one side, meaning they can get more or less of it depending on where the sun is in the sky.(大多数太阳能电池板只从一侧获得阳光，这意味着它们可以根据太阳在天空中的位置获得更多或更少的阳光。)”可知，大多数太阳能电池板需要根据太阳在天空中的位置获得更多或更少的阳光。故选B。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前句“Basically, these panels can acquire sun from not only their sun-facing side but also from the light reflected off the ground onto their dark undersides.(基本上，这些面板不仅可以从它们朝向太阳的一面获得阳光，还可以从地面反射到它们黑暗的底部的光线中获得阳光。)”以及划线单词所在句“move on an axis(轴) from east to west in order to always be pointed at a best angle to acquire the sun’s rays.(从东到西沿轴(轴)移动，以便始终指向最佳角度以获取太阳光线。)”可推测，them指的正是双面太阳能电池板。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““This means that investing in double-sided and tracking systems should be a safe bet for the future, ” Carlos Rodriguez-Gallegos, the study’s lead author, said.(该研究的主要作者Carlos Rodriguez-Gallegos说：“这意味着投资于双面和跟踪系统应该是未来的安全赌注。”)”可知，Carlos Rodriguez-Gallegos认为对这种双面太阳能电池板的投资是安全的，由此可知，他对于双面太阳能电池板的抱有支持的态度。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In a new study published in the journal Joule on Tuesday, scientists introduce a way to increase that percentage even higher: double-sided solar panels that can move to follow the sun.(在周二发表在《焦耳》杂志上的一项新研究中，科学家们介绍了一种将这一比例提高到更高的方法：可以跟随太阳移动的双面太阳能电池板。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一种新型的可以跟随太阳移动的双面太阳能电池板。故选A。 D Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford. Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (垂直条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns. Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes (水平条纹), the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations. According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline. “This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.” 32. Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish? A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS. B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans. C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances. D. To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans. 33. What can we learn about the experiment? A. People gestured the goldfish throughout the experiment. B. The tank was decorated with colorful background patterns. C. Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes. D. The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish’s incorrect judgment. 34. What can be concluded from paragraph 4? A. Optic flow mechanism is unique to humans. B. Mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfish. C. Goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual information. D. Visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish. 35. What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study? A. Objective. B. Ambiguous. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，科学研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类如何使用内部GPS估计距离的理解。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.(这项研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类以及潜在的人类如何利用一种可以被称为内部GPS的东西来估计距离的理解)”可知，这项研究旨在揭示内置GPS如何帮助计算距离。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes (水平条纹), the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.(然而，当条纹图案被改变为更窄的垂直条纹、格子图案或水平条纹时，鱼的行为发生了显著变化。较窄的垂直条纹导致他们高估了36%的距离，而水平条纹导致高度不一致的估计)”可知，鱼缸条纹改变后，鱼对距离的估算不准确了。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an ‘optic (光学的) flow mechanism’ based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features.(根据研究人员的说法，金鱼似乎使用了一种基于环境视觉密度的‘光学流动机制’。他们记录了垂直图案在黑色和白色之间切换的频率，以估计它们走了多远。这项研究表明，包括人类在内的哺乳动物使用不同的光流机制，这是基于视觉特征的角度运动)”可知，此处进一步阐明金鱼估计距离的原理，金鱼利用多维视觉信息来评估距离。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。推理判断题。根据最后一段“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”(“这项研究是新颖的，因为尽管我们知道鱼类对方向和距离的几何信息有反应，但我们不知道它们是如何估计距离的，”科林·利弗教授说，尽管他没有参与这项研究，“探索鱼类的空间映射是令人兴奋的，因为鱼类的导航进化得比大多数哺乳动物更早，也更好。”)”可知，科林教授认为这项研究是令人兴奋的，所以是赞许的”可知，Colin教授对该研究的态度是积极地，赞成的。故选D。 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。 Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem.

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.

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 sighed 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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以午餐为线索展开，讲述了作者从印度转学到纽约，作为午餐，妈妈准备了他们家在印度一直以来最喜欢的菜——玛莎拉，但和其他同学的西餐不一样，其他同学感到很奇怪，作者感到自己被孤立了，所以要求妈妈为自己做西餐。结果一天妈妈忘记了做西餐，又做了玛莎拉，作者怕被其他同学看到，把午餐藏了起来。然而被同学Ricky发现了，Ricky打开了作者午餐盒的盖子，作者原想Ricky可能又是一番讨厌，结果这饭菜却是Ricky感兴趣，爱吃的，作者很高兴自己的饮食文化被同学认同，不再为自己的饭菜而尴尬了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，我没有得到我所预料的。”可知，第一段可描写Ricky的表现和作者的预料完全不同，他对玛莎拉很感兴趣。 ②由第二段首句内容“放学后，我发现妈妈正在为明天的午餐准备三明治。”可知，第二段可描写作者告诉妈妈自己的饭菜得到同学的认同，妈妈非常高兴。 2.续写线索：感兴趣——询问——喜欢吃——告知妈妈——高兴——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 询问：ask/question ②. 告知：tell/inform 情绪类 ①. 兴趣：interest/taste ②. 高兴：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

About an hour into the first day, obvious discomfort and shyness of a boy caught my eye. I could sense that this whole experience was foreign to him. He needed a friend. I walked towards him, made my first interaction but failed. At lunch the next day, as the campers eagerly participated in the camp song, my gaze wandered over noise and was caught by the boy under the tree, sitting alone and staring out of the window. I tried again, with the same questions as before. He again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really get into this stuff.” As I left the cafeteria, I realized this was going to take more time and effort - if it was even possible to get through to him at all. Days flew with me spending more time with him and finally came the camp night when I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy, once confined to the shadows of the tree, was a dancing wonder. I watched as he shared the meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was the same person. A few months after the camp, I received an unexpected call from the boy, who informed me of his ongoing immigration to a foreign country. A long pause followed and then he said, “I went back to school with confidence. I made new friends. My grades went up. The past few months were the best of my life.” In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for their own “boy under the tree”. 24. How did the boy feel at the beginning of the leadership camp? A. Anxious and bored. B. Uneasy and lonely. C. Proud and enthusiastic. D. Comfortable and confident. 25. What did the author suggest by mentioning “a dancing wonder” in Paragraph 3? A. The boy was expert in dancing. B. The boy became the focus of the camp. C. The boy contributed considerably to the camp night. D. The boy began to open up and socialize with others. 26. The boy called the author mainly to . A. show off his recent progress B. express his gratitude to the author C. recall the best memories in the camp D. share concerns about the approaching immigration 27. What message does the story convey? A. Camps help students shape their character B. Every student has the opportunity to shine. C. Sincere care makes a difference to students’ growth. D. Reserved students face more challenges in their lives. C Most solar panels (太阳能电池板) acquire sunlight from only one side, meaning they can get more or less of it depending on where the sun is in the sky. In recent years, they’ve become far more effective, generally turning around 22 percent of the light they acquire into energy. In a new study published in the journal Joule on Tuesday, scientists introduce a way to increase that percentage even higher: double-sided solar panels that can move to follow the sun. Basically, these panels can acquire sun from not only their sun-facing side but also from the light reflected off the ground onto their dark undersides. At the same time, a GPS allows them to move on an axis (轴) from east to west in order to always be pointed at a best angle to acquire the sun’s rays. Though double-sided solar panels and sun-following solar panels are both in use currently, models that combine the two technologies aren’t widely available for commercial use. Solar experts predict rapid growth in the market soon, though. The study authors determined that these two-sided sun-tracking panels produce an average of 35 percent more energy than single-panel systems that don’t move, and are 16 percent cheaper. That holds true even when taking into account changes in weather conditions. “This means that investing in double-sided and tracking systems should be a safe bet for the future, ” Carlos Rodriguez-Gallegos, the study’s lead author, said. The same warnings for solar panels and their effect on the local environment apply to the double-sided, moving systems as well, if not more so. Lead used in solar panels can be one source of local pollution, and Dustin Mulvaney, an associate professor of environmental studies, told Earther in an email double-sided panels could mean “twice as much lead” as traditional solar systems. Since these new panels are more energy efficient, they could save not only money but also land. That would require changing how solar contracts work today. 28. What does most solar panels rely on to acquire sunlight according to the passage? A. The amount of sunlight. B. The location of the sun. C. The quality of solar panels. D. The size of solar panels. 29. What does the underlined word “them” in the second paragraph refer to? A. The sun’s rays. B. The panels’ undersides. C. The double-sided panels D. The panels’ sun-facing sides. 30. What’s Carlos Rodriguez -Gallegos’ attitude towards the two-sided solar panels? A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. 31. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Double-Sided Solar Panels that Follow the Sun B. Advantages of the Double-Sided Solar Panels C. Application of the Double-Sided Solar Panels D. Double-Sided Solar Panels and Single-Sided Solar Panels D Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford. Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (垂直条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns. Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes (水平条纹), the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations. According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline. “This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.” 32. Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish? A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS. B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans. C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances. D. To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans. 33. What can we learn about the experiment? A. People gestured the goldfish throughout the experiment. B. The tank was decorated with colorful background patterns. C. Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes. D. The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish’s incorrect judgment. 34. What can be concluded from paragraph 4? A. Optic flow mechanism is unique to humans. B. Mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfish. C. Goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual information. D. Visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish. 35. What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study? A. Objective. B. Ambiguous. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable. 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。 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. G. Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past. 第三部分英语知识运用 (共三节, 满分55分) 第一节完形填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Have you ever heard of and seen Canadian geese?

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 sighed 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
