It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we may immediately think about a time in our past. But what is it that makes music so effective at doing this? There are a few things that link tunes (曲调) with our memories. Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it memorable. And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events, they can also easily draw our attention. Then the music and these life events are likely to be encoded together in our memories. Music itself is easy to remember. Oral cultures (口述文明) have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs. The rhythm (节奏), melody (旋律) and alliteration in lyrics all serve as memory aids. Pop music especially can be about a special moment in time. As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Familianty is important. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is at bringing back memories because we like listening to a song over and over again better than watching a film or a TV program in the same time. Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form during our teens, and this is connected with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump”, where we make our strongest memories between the ages of 10 and 30. 26. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. life events B. music and singing C. Paul Donoghue and Kelly Jakubowski D. Kelly Jakubowski and the assistant professor 27. According to the passage, we can know that ________. A. we often become familiar with music because we like its rhythm B. our musical preferences usually form when we are old C. our strongest memories are made between the ages of 10 and 30 D. we usually watch a film or a TV program over and over again 28. The underlined word “memorable” in Paragraph 2 means “ ________” in Chinese. A. 很感兴趣 B. 令人难忘 C. 反复考虑 D. 传递信息 29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Shahram Heshmat works for Psychology Today. B. Oral cultures have passed important knowledge through songs. C. We may think about a time in our past when a song is played on the radio. D. Paul thinks we become familiar with a piece of music because of its background music. 30. The passage probably comes from ________. A. sports report B. a storybook C. science magazine D. an advertisement poster 【答案】26. B 27. C 28. B 29. D 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了音乐的情感性质使其易于记忆。音乐和生活事件很可能会一起编码在我们的记忆中，以及音乐是如何让我们回到过去的。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events, they can also easily draw our attention.”可知，这里的“they”是指音乐和唱歌。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form during our teens, and this is connected with what many experts call the ‘reminiscence bump’, where we make our strongest memories between the ages of 10 and 30.”可知，我们最牢固的记忆是在10岁到30岁之间形成的。故选C。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events they can also easily draw our attention.”可知，音乐和唱歌通常是许多重要生活事件的一部分，所以音乐的情感本质有助于使它令人难忘。所以划线单词“memorable”的中文意思应该是“令人难忘”。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music.”可知，正如Shahram Heshmat在《今日心理学》上所强调的那样，我们经常因为听到一首音乐作为背景音乐而熟悉它。不是Paul提出的观点，D选项描述错误。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据这篇文章内容及其标题“How music takes us back to our past?”可知，这篇文章是研究音乐是如何让我们回到过去的，所以这篇文章可能来自科学杂志。故选C。 Walking at least 4, 000 steps a day significantly (显著地) reduces your risk of an early death, while taking 2, 337 steps a day will reduce your risk of death specifically from cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, but “more is better.” according to a study. “___31___. Every increase of steps by 500—1000 steps/day may lower the number of people who die from illnesses.” writer Dr. Macicj Banach, who is also a professor of a university once said. “Anything below 5, 000 steps a day is considered a “sedentary (久坐) lifestyle”, according to the study. “We showed that every increase of steps by 1000 steps/day is associated with a 15% reduction in the risk of dying from any cause, and every increase by 500 steps/day leads to a 7% reduction in dying from cardiovascular disease,” added Banach. Some experts agree that exercise directly influences the cardiovascular system. ___32___. If people walk about 4, 000 steps a day, they may greatly reduce the risk of an early death. The biggest influence on risk occurred when people walked more than 7, 000 steps a day. The most benefit (益处) occurs at about 20, 000 steps, studies found. ___33___ Adults 60 and older who walked between 6, 000 and 10, 000 steps a day saw a 42% reduction in risk of early death, while people under 60 who walked between 7, 000 and 13, 000 steps a day had a 49% reduction in risk. ___34___ Starting any ways to improve health early will have the most influence on our health.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了每天至少走路对我们健康的好处和影响。 【31题详解】 根据“Every increase of steps by 500—1000 steps/day may lower the number of people who die from illnesses.”可知走路能降低死于疾病风险，选项D“你走的步数越多，对你的健康的影响就越好。”符合语境，故选D。 【32题详解】 根据“Some experts agree that exercise directly influences the cardiovascular system.”可知锻炼会直接影响心血管系统，选项C“他们认为有运动总比没有好。”符合语境。故选C。 【33题详解】 根据“Adults 60 and older who walked between 6, 000 and 10, 000 steps a day saw a 42% reduction in risk of early death, while people under 60 who walked between 7, 000 and 13, 000 steps a day had a 49% reduction in risk.”可知60岁及以上的成年人每天走6000至10000步，早逝风险降低42%，而60岁以下的人，每天走7000至13000步，早死风险降低49%。选项F“所有国家的老年人和年轻人的健康福利都是一样的。”符合语境，故选F。 【34题详解】 根据“Starting any ways to improve health early will have the most influence on our health.”可知尽早改善健康的方法会对我们的健康产生最大的影响。选项E“这种差异可以用‘越早越好’来解释。”符合语境，故选E。 【35题详解】 根据“The study simply shows exercise is good and more exercise can make you better.”和“Keep doing what you’re doing until you get breathless for at least 30 minutes a day.”可知锻炼会对你有帮助，选项A“每一点运动都有帮助”符合语境，故选A。 五 综合填空 A.选词填空。（10分） 用方框内单词的适当形式填空。 invite, change, produce, lay out, remain 36.

Together, the two teenagers reached the top step of the podium (领奖台) with a perfect performance. Then after winning the women’s synchronized 10m platform gold together as partners on Saturday, September 30th, 2023, the two young took part in the women’s 10m platform on Tuesday, when Quan beat Chen to win the game. Quan and Chen are both the closest partners and toughest rivals (对手). But they are simply best friends. “Quan is really outgoing. She is always the funniest one in our team.” said 18-year-old Chen during an interview with China Daily. “She shines in so many ways, and she is always energetic during training and competition.” Although Quan is always described as a talkative and funny girl by teammates, the 16-year-old is famous for giving very short answers to media questions. And to China Daily, she continued that tradition. “Chen is a pretty and charming girl, who never easily gives up,” said Quan. Quan and Chen became (A) household names in China after their performance at the Tokyo Olympics, in 2021, when Quan won the women’s 10m platform gold and Chen won the silver. “We both have the desire to win.

Who won the women’s 10 m platform gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021? 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了跳水运动员全红婵和陈芋汐的事迹。 【56题详解】 根据“Then after winning the women’s synchronized 10m platform gold together as partners on Saturday, September 30th, 2023”和“the 16-year-old is famous for giving very short answers to media questions. ”可知，2023年的时候，全红婵16岁；再根据“Quan and Chen became household names in China after their performance at the Tokyo Olympics, in 2021, when Quan won the women’s 10 m platform gold and Chen won the silver. ”可知，东京奥运会于2021年举办，当时的全红婵只有14岁。故填14 years old. 【57题详解】 根据“We both have the desire to win. This is why we both work hard and fight for the same goal”可知，是因为她们都渴望赢。故填Because they both have the desire to win. 【58题详解】 根据“Quan and Chen became household names in China after their performance at the Tokyo Olympics, in 2021, when Quan won the women’s 10 m platform gold and Chen won the silver.”可知，在2021年的东京奥运会上，全红婵获得了女子10米跳台金牌，陈芋汐获得了银牌，全和陈成为了中国家喻户晓的人物。“household”表示“家喻户晓的，著名的”，与形容词famous同义。故填Famous. 【59题详解】 This is why“这就是为什么”；we both“我们俩都”；work hard and fight“努力奋斗”；for the same goal“为同一个目标”。故填：这就是为什么我们俩都努力为同一个目标而奋斗。 【60题详解】 开放性试题，答案不唯一。参考答案为Who won the women’s 10 m platform gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021? As is well known, saying “no” is difficult. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it. Here are some common reasons why people find (C) it hard to say “no”. You may be afraid of being impolite. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is impolite. This thinking is common in Asian culture. You want to help others. You are a kind soul (灵魂) at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to offer help when possible, even if it may take up your time. You want to be agreeable. At times, you find you are not in agreement. You don’t want to keep yourself away from the group, so you agree to do others’ requests (请求). You fear of conflict (冲突). The person might be angry if you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects (影响) in the future. You fear of losing opportunities (机会). Sometimes, always saying “no” means that you close the doors of communication and you may lose some opportunities this way. This idea may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department (部门) in her company (公司). Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion (晋升) opportunities in the future. 61. What does the underlined word (C) it refer to? ___________________________________________________ 62. Fill in the blanks according to the text. It is well known that saying “no” is not ________ at all. But sometimes we have to say “no”. First, we have to understand what’s stopping us ________ saying “no”. Saying “no” to old people seems to be _______ in Asian culture. What’s more, some opportunities may be ______ if you always say “no”. 63. 从文中找到与 “She didn’t feel like going because she loved her team.”意思相近的句子。 __________________________________________________ 64. Please give your own idea about saying “no” to others. __________________________________________________ 【答案】61. Say “no”. 62. ①. easy ②. about ③. impolite ④. lost 63. Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. 64. Sometimes it is necessary to say “no” to others. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要分析了人们很难说“不”的一些原因。 【61题详解】 根据“Here are some common reasons why people find it hard to say ‘no.’”可知，此处it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为其后不定式to say no。故填Say “no”. 【62题详解】 ①句意：众所周知，说“不”一点也不容易。根据“saying ‘no’ is difficult”可知，说“不”是不容易的；easy“容易的”，形容词作表语。故填easy。 ②句意：首先，我们必须了解什么阻止了我们说“不”。根据“we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it”可知，设空处填写about，介词。故填about。 ③句意：在亚洲文化中，对老人说“不”似乎是不礼貌的。根据“...that saying ‘no’, especially to people who are older, is impolite.”可知，对老人说“不”是不礼貌的；impolite“不礼貌的”，形容词作表语。故填impolite。 ④句意：更重要的是，如果你总是说“不”，可能会失去一些机会。根据“always saying ‘no’ means that you close the doors of communication and you may lose some opportunities this way”可知，说“不”可能会失去一些机会；lose“失去”，本句主语是谓语动词的动作承受者，所以用被动语态表达，lose过去分词为lost。故填lost。 【63题详解】 题干中“She didn’t feel like going because she loved her team.”意为“她不想走，因为她爱她的团队”。文中“Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go.”中，since意为“因为”，此句可意为“因为她喜欢她的团队，所以她不想走”，与题干意思相近。故填Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. 【64题详解】 根据“But sometimes we have to learn to say ‘no’”可知，我们有时候要学会说“不”。故填Sometimes it is necessary to say “no” to others. 七 书面表达（15分） 65. 变化无处不在，变化就在我们身边，作为中学生的我们，当然也经历了一些变化，我们的外貌、性格、习惯、爱好及与他人的关系等方面或多或少发生了一些改变。你发生了怎样的改变？请谈谈变化最大的一两个方面，并说一说它（们） 是如何改变你的，并谈谈你的感受。 要求： 词数：80—100（开头已给出，不计入总词数） 文中不得出现真实姓名、校名等相关信息。 My life has really changed._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 My life has really changed.

It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we may immediately think about a time in our past. But what is it that makes music so effective at doing this? There are a few things that link tunes (曲调) with our memories. Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it memorable. And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events, they can also easily draw our attention. Then the music and these life events are likely to be encoded together in our memories. Music itself is easy to remember. Oral cultures (口述文明) have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs. The rhythm (节奏), melody (旋律) and alliteration in lyrics all serve as memory aids. Pop music especially can be about a special moment in time. As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Familianty is important. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is at bringing back memories because we like listening to a song over and over again better than watching a film or a TV program in the same time. Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form during our teens, and this is connected with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump”, where we make our strongest memories between the ages of 10 and 30. 26. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. life events B. music and singing C. Paul Donoghue and Kelly Jakubowski D. Kelly Jakubowski and the assistant professor 27. According to the passage, we can know that ________. A. we often become familiar with music because we like its rhythm B. our musical preferences usually form when we are old C. our strongest memories are made between the ages of 10 and 30 D. we usually watch a film or a TV program over and over again 28. The underlined word “memorable” in Paragraph 2 means “ ________” in Chinese. A. 很感兴趣 B. 令人难忘 C. 反复考虑 D. 传递信息 29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Shahram Heshmat works for Psychology Today. B. Oral cultures have passed important knowledge through songs. C. We may think about a time in our past when a song is played on the radio. D. Paul thinks we become familiar with a piece of music because of its background music. 30. The passage probably comes from ________. A. sports report B. a storybook C. science magazine D. an advertisement poster Walking at least 4, 000 steps a day significantly (显著地) reduces your risk of an early death, while taking 2, 337 steps a day will reduce your risk of death specifically from cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, but “more is better.” according to a study. “___31___. Every increase of steps by 500—1000 steps/day may lower the number of people who die from illnesses.” writer Dr. Macicj Banach, who is also a professor of a university once said. “Anything below 5, 000 steps a day is considered a “sedentary (久坐) lifestyle”, according to the study. “We showed that every increase of steps by 1000 steps/day is associated with a 15% reduction in the risk of dying from any cause, and every increase by 500 steps/day leads to a 7% reduction in dying from cardiovascular disease,” added Banach. Some experts agree that exercise directly influences the cardiovascular system. ___32___. If people walk about 4, 000 steps a day, they may greatly reduce the risk of an early death. The biggest influence on risk occurred when people walked more than 7, 000 steps a day. The most benefit (益处) occurs at about 20, 000 steps, studies found. ___33___ Adults 60 and older who walked between 6, 000 and 10, 000 steps a day saw a 42% reduction in risk of early death, while people under 60 who walked between 7, 000 and 13, 000 steps a day had a 49% reduction in risk. ___34___ Starting any ways to improve health early will have the most influence on our health. The study simply shows exercise is good and more exercise can make you better. ___35___ Keep doing what you’re doing until you get breathless for at least 30 minutes a day. 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 A. Every bit of exercise helps. B. We should choose to do different exercise. C. They believe any exercise is better than none. D. The more steps you walk, the better the effects on your health. E.

Together, the two teenagers reached the top step of the podium (领奖台) with a perfect performance. Then after winning the women’s synchronized 10m platform gold together as partners on Saturday, September 30th, 2023, the two young took part in the women’s 10m platform on Tuesday, when Quan beat Chen to win the game. Quan and Chen are both the closest partners and toughest rivals (对手). But they are simply best friends. “Quan is really outgoing. She is always the funniest one in our team.” said 18-year-old Chen during an interview with China Daily. “She shines in so many ways, and she is always energetic during training and competition.” Although Quan is always described as a talkative and funny girl by teammates, the 16-year-old is famous for giving very short answers to media questions. And to China Daily, she continued that tradition. “Chen is a pretty and charming girl, who never easily gives up,” said Quan. Quan and Chen became (A) household names in China after their performance at the Tokyo Olympics, in 2021, when Quan won the women’s 10m platform gold and Chen won the silver. “We both have the desire to win. (B)This is why we both work hard and fight for the same goal,” said Chen. “Quan levels up the standard of women’s 10m platform. She is the reason why we try to win a gold.” In Quan’s eyes, Chen is more hardworking than her. Quan and Chen stand at the top of world diving. But they still dream to win at the Paris Olympics next summer. 56.

The person might be angry if you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects (影响) in the future. You fear of losing opportunities (机会). Sometimes, always saying “no” means that you close the doors of communication and you may lose some opportunities this way. This idea may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department (部门) in her company (公司). Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion (晋升) opportunities in the future. 61.
