Ⅰ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四款远程协作应用软件。
1.C [细节理解题。根据Process Street部分中的“Those who use Process Street like the way it securely keeps all members aware of exactly what they need to do and by when.”可知,该软件帮助团队成员知晓任务的内容和截止时间。故选C项。]
2.B [细节理解题。根据Skype部分中的“The only downside with Skype is that you need a Microsoft login in order to use it.”可知,在使用Skype之前需要注册微软账户。故选B项。]
3.A [推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Thanks to a select few remote collaboration apps,it's now easier than ever to realize the goal regardless of where they are located on the globe.”以及下文对这四个应用软件的介绍可知,这四个软件可以帮助使用者更好、更快地完成工作,提高使用者的工作效率。故选A项。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了德雷克在一家电气公司工作,勤奋好学的他研发了一种新式灯泡,但该灯泡未被老板接受。但德雷克并未放弃,在经历了许多挫折后终于取得了事业上的成功。
4.D [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He was just 12 years old.His parents had no money to educate him.They had no choice other than to tell their child to leave school and start helping them with their shop's work.”可知,德雷克的父母在他12岁的时候就让他在他们的店里工作是因为他们无力支付他的学费。故选D项。]
5.B [词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“started waking up before sunrise and going to their shop and cleaning it”可知,德雷克非常勤勉地在父母的店里帮忙,由此推知,他一定非常理解父母的这个决定,想要身体力行地为父母缓解压力,故画线词意为“理解”,B项与之同义。故选B项。]
6.D [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“but when the boss saw it,he wasn't interested in it and said it was of little use”可知,老板觉得他改进过的新式灯泡用处不大,由此可知,老板认为这种灯泡没有价值。故选D项。]
7.B [推理判断题。结合全文,尤其是第三段中的“But still, he believed in himself and didn't give up.”和第四段中的“but still, he kept believing in himself”可知,从家贫上不起学,到想法不被接受,再到创业经历低谷,德雷克经历了许许多多的挫折,但他从未放弃,最终取得了事业上的成功,这说明了自信是成功的第一秘诀。故选B项。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了做梦和睡眠之间的关系,以及缺乏做梦给我们带来的损害。
8.D [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Dreams,according to... during waking consciousness.”可知,Carl Jung认为梦揭示了在清醒意识中一些被隐藏的现实,即梦会反映现实。故选D。]
9.C [推理判断题。根据第三段第一句内容可知,你可能认为这只是睡眠问题,但做梦与夜间休息是分不开的。再结合第三段最后两句“The longer we ... level of REM.”可知,我们睡得越久,在快速眼动阶段(做梦)花费的时间就越多,这就是我们早上醒来时经常在做梦的原因。然而,如果我们的睡眠时间少于7小时,就很难达到这种程度的快速眼动。由此可推知,我们是否做梦,与睡眠时长及睡眠过程中的快速眼动是有直接关系的,所以第三段对睡眠过程进行解释,是为了证明做梦问题和睡眠问题是有关联的。故选C。]
10.A [推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Volunteers that experienced ... requiring creative solutions.”可知,经历了更多快速眼动睡眠的志愿者更善于解决需要创造性解决方案的问题。由此可推知,做梦能让人更具有创造力。故选A。]
11.B [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段阐述了做梦的重要性,缺乏做梦会给我们带来损害;第二段介绍了缺乏做梦会对我们的免疫系统、新陈代谢系统和记忆造成损害;第四段说睡眠和做梦结合起来可以起到稳定情绪的作用;第五段说我们正以许多方式为缺乏做梦付出代价。由此可推知,本文主要介绍了缺乏做梦对于我们来说是可怕的。故选B。]
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Amy Jandrisevits用玩具娃娃来帮助孩子们适应他们不断变化的医疗状况,并帮助他们建立自信。
1.A [根据下文的“using dolls to ... medical situations”可知,玩具娃娃可用来帮助孩子们,所以此处是说它们有一种我们不完全理解的力量。]

3.B [根据下文的“their changing medical situations”可知,此处表示“适应不断变化的医疗状况”。adapt to“适应”。]
4.D [根据下文的“looked like her friend's child”可知,一个朋友说她的孩子遭遇了一场车祸。]
5.B [根据上文的“her child was ... on his face”可知,此处表示帮助这个年轻人度过这个充满挑战的时期。unforgettable“令人难忘的”;challenging“有挑战性的”;complex“复杂的”;impressive“给人印象深刻的”。]
6.D [根据下文的“tell a kid,‘You are perfect in the way you are.’”并结合常识可知,那个孩子脸上留疤了,所以要告诉一个孩子“你这样就很完美”并以这样的方式树立起信心是很难的。]
7.A [参见上题解析。]
8.D [根据下文的“She made a doll ... sent it off.”可知,Jandrisevits着手改变这种状况。]
9.D [根据下文的“a photo online”可知,此处表示在网上公布了一张照片。post“公布,张贴,发布”。]
10.C [根据下文的“soon Jandrisevits was ... photos sent by parents”可知,很多人都知道了这件事情。由此可知,消息传开了,故空处应表示“传播”。]
11.B [根据下文的“started a nonprofit organization”可知,她辞掉了之前的工作,创办了一家非营利性机构。]
12.A [根据上下文的“nonprofit organization”可知,她从来没有对一个玩具娃娃收费。charge“收费,(向……)要价”。]
13.C [根据上文的“The waiting list is long but”可知,等候名单很长,但Jandrisevits是坚定的。determined“坚定的”。]
14.A [根据语境可知,此处表示“每个孩子,无论性别、年龄、药物问题还是体型,都应该看到玩具娃娃可爱的脸,并看到自己的脸”。regardless of“不管,不顾”符合语境。]

C 篇(限时7分钟)
(2024·广东省六校联盟联考)Dreams,according to Carl Jung,reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness.In Jungian philosophy,the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives.While Jung's mystical theories were debatable,he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming.A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.
This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic(新陈代谢的)systems,let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns,which has longterm consequences for our memory system.One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM(Rapid Eye Movement)sleep,the stage in which we dream,the mice couldn't strengthen memories.
You might think this is just a sleep problem,but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest.We sleep in cycles(周期),each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle,we go through nonREM sleep before hitting REM.As the night progresses,REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of nonREM sleep)decreases.The longer we sleep,the more time we spend in REM,which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning.If we sleep less than seven hours,however,it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.
The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer.We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly.However,we're not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian antidepressant(抗抑郁药)—dreams.Instead,we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep,which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while antidepressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.
We're paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways.For example,a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and nonREM sleep,REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration(整合)of unassociated information.Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.
Rowan Hooper,the managing editor at New Scientist,writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we look at diet and exercise habits.
