I’d appreciate that I can have this opportunity to be here and share with you my childhood dream to be a successful professor in a famous university. I hope all of you can realize your dreams by learning in our college in the following four years. I grew up in a two-bedroom house with my parents and six brothers and sisters. We had to walk to the river near our home to get water to drink, wash and bathe. We had to use candles at night to save on the electricity Bill. We didn’t live a rich life then but all my siblings are now professionals in their careers. We knew our parents could not pay for college so we all studied hard to get scholarships. Also, while we were in college we got part time jobs. Dear students, I know there are times in your life that you may feel like giving up your dreams, but whenever that happens, remember the reason for starting. Changes do not happen overnight. It takes determination to get results. Therefore, keep your goals in mind and never stop trying to achieve them. There might be roadblocks along the way which may affect your determination. As soon as you overcome those challenges, the process will seem much easy. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 37. 5 分) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Nothing beats live music, but the venue makes a difference. When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do. Red Rocks, Morrison, the United States Red Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests. Meet Factory, Prague, Czech Republic Smallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here. Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, France Originally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival. Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia The Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch. 21. Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty? A. At Red Rocks. B. At Meet Factory. C. At Arena of Nimes. D. At Sydney Opera House. 22. What is special about Meet Factory? A. It enjoys breathtaking scenery. B. It hosts both musical and artistic events. C. It is the largest venue of all. D. It is famous for contemporary music. 23. What do the listed music venues have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They are built near the sea. C. They accommodate thousands of people. D. They are beautiful tourist attractions. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了四所世界知名的音乐场馆。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.(它巨大的砂岩为乐队提供了一个完美的舞台。 如果你喜欢蓝调和爵士乐，你会很容易找到符合你兴趣的音乐)”可知，在Red Rocks可以欣赏到自然美景中的音乐。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Smallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue.(Meet Factory是这个列表中最小的场馆，它是一个画廊、剧院和音乐场馆)”可知，Meet Factory的特别之处是它举办音乐和艺术活动。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.”（如果你没有去过这些地方，你就要去旅行）可知，文章推荐了四所世界知名的音乐场馆。Red Rocks建在自然形成的巨石上，风景优美；Meet Factory同时是美术展馆；Arena of Nimes是古罗马式建筑；Sydney Opera House 是美丽的现代建筑。可知，列出的音乐场所的共同之处是它们是美丽的旅游景点。故选D。 B PAUL HEMINGTON, 57, is the Assistant Operations Manager at Cheddar Gorge（切达峡谷） and Caves cheddargorge.co.uk I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves. Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing. The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK. Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment. My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience! 24. PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________. A. settle down in the countryside B. be closer to his daughter C land a job as a tour guide D. take part in a competitive race 25. The underlined phrase “gets under your skin” is closest in meaning to _________. A. affects you deeply B. bothers you greatly C. increases your strength D. improves your skin condition 26 Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptions? A. He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history. B. He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks. C. He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period. D. He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge. 27. What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this article? A. How he adapts to the local way of life. B. What major local attractions are worth seeing. C. Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder. D. What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Paul Hemington是Cheddar Gorge和Caves的助理运营经理，他对这个地方充满热情。他介绍了切达峡谷的自然美景、地质特征、野生动植物以及与当地历史相关的活动。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. (我搬到SOMERSET主要是为了我的家人。我女儿要结婚了，我不想住在六小时车程以外的地方，所以我们搬了家。)”可知，PAUL HEMINGTON搬到Somerset主要是为了和家人团聚，因为他的女儿要结婚，他不想离得太远，所以他们做出了这个决定。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的内容“You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it.(你成为它的一部分，它也成为你的一部分。我对此充满激情。)”可知， PAUL HEMINGTON认为Cheddar Gorge以正确的方式渗透到自己的内心。自己成为它的一部分，它成为自己的一部分。因此推断Cheddar Gorge对他产生了深深的影响。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.( 我们带人们参观洞穴，我们有史前历史，这是我们和博物馆一起做的，我们让学校来和他们一起做示范。我们会打扮得尽可能真实再现Cheddar Man的时代，也就是一万年前的中石器时代。例如，我们做点火，希望这能激励年轻人！在博物馆的花园里，把峡谷的一部分作为背景，这真的很酷，你可以真正沉浸在那一刻。)”可知，Paul描述了他们在博物馆花园中重现中石器时代的活动，并且穿着相应的服装进行火种点燃等展示，以期激发年轻人的兴趣即他参与重建中石器时代的场景。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. (Cheddar Gorge在英国是独一无二的。这是一种独特的现象，因为尽管这个国家还有其他洞穴，但你在其他地方没有峡谷。)”以及第四段中“The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. (The Cheddar Gorge的精神是很强劲的)以及第五段中“Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. (在Cheddar Gorge和洞穴的每一天都不一样。)”以及第六段中“My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. (我最喜欢的地方是当你走过山顶时，你可以回头看到峡谷或对面的水库。)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都围绕PAUL HEMINGTON对Cheddar Gorge的热情和对其自然美丽、野生动物、地质学和史前历史等方面的认识和喜爱进行了描述。因此，他谈论的主题是Cheddar Gorge对他来说有什么特别之处。故选D。 C The days of staring at the computer screen pretending to be interested in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because if Dr Harry Witchel, Discipline Leader in Physiology at England's Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time. But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading your mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary（无意识的）movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote, but barely noticeable movements like scratching, fidgeting, or stretching. Witchel says the level of movement is directly linked to how absorbed the person is in what he or she is reading or watching. The higher the interest level. the less the movement! To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the banking regulations that most people would find boring. A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment. Just as the researchers had expected, the involuntary actions decreased dramatically, by as much as 42%, when the participants were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing. Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that combining the motion detecting technology with future computers will help enhance the digital learning experience. The scientists say that being able to measure the students' interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials real-time and re-engage the students. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 28. According to Dr Harry, what will future computers be able to do? A. Keep a learner from distraction. B. Help a learner with his assignments. C. Read a learner's mind exactly real-time. D. Identify dullness of a learner and respond to it. 29. How does an absorbed learner tend to behave? A. Laugh and shout excitedly. B. Use less energy in an assignment. C. Perform fewer involuntary actions. D. Show noticeable movements constantly. 30. What is the value of this technology for educators? A. Bettering their digital learning experience. B. Introducing more computers into class. C. Finding the absent-minded students in class. D. Detecting what interests the students most. 31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce an upcoming technology. B. To update educators' teaching concept. C. To show what learning will be like in the future. D. To explain how life will be shaped by technology. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种未来的计算机，这种计算机可以记录人们在电脑甚至电视前所表现出的持续的无意识的运动，探测出人们何时感到厌烦，注意力减退，甚至还可以做出实时反应。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“if Dr Harry Witchel, Discipline Leader in Physiology at England's Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time.(如果英国布莱顿和苏塞克斯医学院生理学学科负责人哈里·威奇尔博士能够如愿以偿，未来的计算机将能够发现无聊，甚至实时做出反应。)”可知，Dr. Harry Witchel希望未来的电脑将能够探测到无聊感，甚至做出实时反应。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Just as the researchers had expected, the involuntary actions decreased dramatically, by as much as 42%, when the participants were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing.( 正如研究人员所预期的那样，当受试者完全沉浸在他们所读或所看的内容中时，无意识行为出人意料地减少了42%。)”可知，一个专注的学习者常常会减少无意识动作。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The scientists say that being able to measure the students' interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials real-time and re-engage the students.( 科学家们说，如果能够测量学生的兴趣水平，将使教育工作者能够实时调整材料，并重新吸引学生。)”可知，这项科技对于教育工作者的价值是能够发现学生们最感兴趣的东西。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time(未来的计算机将能够发现无聊，甚至实时做出反应)”和第二段的“It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary（无意识的）movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television.(它只是记录人们在电脑甚至电视前表现出的无意识的运动。)”和下文内容可知，文章介绍了一种未来的计算机，这种计算机可以记录人们在电脑甚至电视前所表现出的持续的无意识的运动，探测出人们何时感到厌烦，注意力减退，甚至还可以做出实时反应。因此推断作者的写作目的是介绍一种未来的科技。故选A。 D Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia. In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.” Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations. 32. What do we know about UPFs? A. They have no nutritional value. B. They are ready-made and instant foods. C. They are cheap and mass-produced. D. They serve as additions to our daily diets. 33. What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 34. What do researchers suggest doing? A. Collecting higher taxes on UPFs. B. Decreasing UPFs’ consumption in diet. C. Focusing on the nutrient content of foods. D. Increasing public awareness of whole foods. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Public Health Response to UPFs B. Physical Disorders Linked to UPFs C. Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D. Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。超加工食品的消费在过去20年中有所增加。人们已知，较高的超加工食品摄入量与超重和心脏病有关，而一项新研究表明，超加工食品对心理健康也有负面影响，它可能会增加痴呆、抑郁和焦虑的风险。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. (超加工食品含有很少或不含天然食物，是工业生产的，是即食或即热的，并含有添加剂。食品的超加工降低了其营养价值)”可推知，UPFs是预先制成的快餐食品。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines. (考虑到UPF消费的暴露程度和影响，本研究在临床实践和公共卫生方面具有重要意义。这可能有助于改善未来饮食指南的制定)”可推知，Eric Hecht对这项研究持肯定的态度，故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. (研究人员建议对UPF征税，并实施减少消费的政策)”可推知，研究人员建议人们要降低膳食中超加工食品的比例，减少超加工食品的摄入量。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. (现在，研究已经扩展到检查它对心理健康的影响)”和第二段中的“After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. (在调整了其他可能影响痴呆症风险的因素（如年龄、性别和心脏病）后，研究人员发现，每天摄入upf每增加10%，患痴呆症的风险就会增加25%)”和第三段中的“In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. (在另一项研究中，研究人员发现，摄入最多upf的人，轻度抑郁、“精神不健康日”和“焦虑日”的症状显著增加)”可知，本文主要介绍的是超加工食品对心理健康的负面影，它可能会增加人们痴呆、抑郁和焦虑的风险。由此可知，D选项“Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health (UPF对心理健康的负面影响)”适合作本文标题。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.

However, as time passed, Tim began to feel a heaviness in his heart that he couldn’t quite understand. School, once a place of laughter and learning, became a challenge for Tim. His grades slipped, and his friends noticed that he wasn’t as energetic as before. Tim’s parents, concerned about their son, took him to see a doctor who explained that Tim was battling something called depression. Tim felt like a dark cloud was hanging over him, making it hard to enjoy the things he once loved. His parents, determined to help him, searched for a way to bring back their son’s joy. That’s when they discovered the magical power of music. One day, Tim’s mom handed him a small, shiny instrument called a ukulele (尤克里里琴). She gently said, “I heard the ukulele has a special way of healing hearts. Why not give it a try?” At first, Tim hesitated, but with a little encouragement, he pulled the strings of the ukulele. The soft melody (旋律) that emerged seemed to touch the deepest parts of his heart. Tim felt a ray of hope for the first time in a long while. His parents, seeing the positive change, enrolled Tim in a music class. There, he met a kind and patient teacher named Mrs. Johnson. In music class, Tim and Mrs. Johnson developed a close connection. She was a supportive and patient teacher, understanding how music could help Tim emotionally. During their time together, Mrs. Johnson inspired Tim to try composing his own music. This became a way for him to express unique emotions and understand himself better. Mrs. Johnson’s support allowed Tim to find comfort through music. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Soon, with the help of Mrs. Johnson, Tim made great progress in playing the ukulele. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tim’s friends also noticed the change in him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Soon, with the help of Mrs. Johnson, Tim made great progress in playing the ukulele. His fingers danced on the strings, making vibrant tunes that resonated with the emotions. The wonderful melody surprised Mrs. Johnson a lot. After that, Mrs. Johnson guided him to explore different genres. Each note he played became a brushstroke on the canvas of his emotional expression. Then came a chance. Mrs. Johnson encouraged him to perform at school events, sharing his music with others. As he played, the audience could indeed feel the sincerity in his music. The dark cloud that once hung over him began to lift, replaced by a radiant glow. Tim’s friends also noticed the change in him. They saw how the ukulele became Tim’s companion in the journey of self-discovery. Intrigued by the transformation, they expressed curiosity about the ukulele. Tim, sensing an opportunity to share the joy he found, eagerly taught his friends the basics. Together, they formed a small band. Through the power of melodies and shared experiences, the group found solace and joy. Tim’s journey not only brought healing to himself but also created a ripple effect, proving that sometimes, the smallest notes can compose the symphony of happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，短文通过描述Tim在Mrs. Johnson的帮助下，在弹奏尤克里里琴中找回快乐与自信的过程，以及通过音乐重新连接朋友和找回内心的光明。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不久，在约翰逊夫人的帮助下，蒂姆在弹奏尤克里里琴方面取得了很大的进步。”可知，第一段注重于表现Tim在音乐方面的进步以及他如何接受挑战公开演出，展现音乐带给他的改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“蒂姆的朋友们也注意到了他的变化。”可知，第二段可描写了Tim的朋友们看到他的变化后所感受到的欣喜，以及对尤克里里琴的好奇，Tim教大家关于尤克里里琴的知识并组建了乐队，进一步强调音乐对Tim心理的疗愈作用。 2.续写线索：取得进步——演奏——曾经笼罩在他头上的乌云开始消散，取而代之的是灿烂的光芒——朋友的好奇——组建乐队——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①使惊讶：surprise /astonish ②探索：explore/probe into ③鼓励：encourage /motivate ④建立：form/set up 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/pleasure ②精彩的；极好的：wonderful/great 【点睛】[高分句型1] .

When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do. Red Rocks, Morrison, the United States Red Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests. Meet Factory, Prague, Czech Republic Smallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through.

B PAUL HEMINGTON, 57, is the Assistant Operations Manager at Cheddar Gorge（切达峡谷） and Caves cheddargorge.co.uk I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves. Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing. The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK. Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment. My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience! 24. PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________. A. settle down in the countryside B. be closer to his daughter C. land a job as a tour guide D. take part in a competitive race 25. The underlined phrase “gets under your skin” is closest in meaning to _________. A. affects you deeply B. bothers you greatly C. increases your strength D. improves your skin condition 26. Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptions? A. He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history. B. He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks. C. He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period. D. He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge. 27. What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this article? A. How he adapts to the local way of life. B. What major local attractions are worth seeing. C. Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder. D. What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him. C The days of staring at the computer screen pretending to be interested in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because if Dr Harry Witchel, Discipline Leader in Physiology at England's Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time. But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading your mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary（无意识的）movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote, but barely noticeable movements like scratching, fidgeting, or stretching. Witchel says the level of movement is directly linked to how absorbed the person is in what he or she is reading or watching. The higher the interest level. the less the movement! To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the banking regulations that most people would find boring. A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment. Just as the researchers had expected, the involuntary actions decreased dramatically, by as much as 42%, when the participants were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing. Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that combining the motion detecting technology with future computers will help enhance the digital learning experience. The scientists say that being able to measure the students' interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials real-time and re-engage the students. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 28. According to Dr Harry, what will future computers be able to do? A. Keep a learner from distraction. B. Help a learner with his assignments. C. Read a learner's mind exactly real-time. D. Identify dullness of a learner and respond to it. 29. How does an absorbed learner tend to behave? A. Laugh and shout excitedly. B. Use less energy in an assignment. C. Perform fewer involuntary actions. D. Show noticeable movements constantly. 30. What is the value of this technology for educators? A. Bettering their digital learning experience. B. Introducing more computers into class. C. Finding the absent-minded students in class. D. Detecting what interests the students most. 31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce an upcoming technology. B. To update educators' teaching concept. C. To show what learning will be like in the future. D. To explain how life will be shaped by technology. D Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia. In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.” Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations. 32. What do we know about UPFs? A They have no nutritional value. B. They are ready-made and instant foods. C. They are cheap and mass-produced. D. They serve as additions to our daily diets. 33. What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 34. What do researchers suggest doing? A. Collecting higher taxes on UPFs. B. Decreasing UPFs’ consumption in diet. C. Focusing on the nutrient content of foods. D. Increasing public awareness of whole foods. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Public Health Response to UPFs B. Physical Disorders Linked to UPFs C. Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D. Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health 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.

However, as time passed, Tim began to feel a heaviness in his heart that he couldn’t quite understand. School, once a place of laughter and learning, became a challenge for Tim. His grades slipped, and his friends noticed that he wasn’t as energetic as before. Tim’s parents, concerned about their son, took him to see a doctor who explained that Tim was battling something called depression. Tim felt like a dark cloud was hanging over him, making it hard to enjoy the things he once loved. His parents, determined to help him, searched for a way to bring back their son’s joy. That’s when they discovered the magical power of music. One day, Tim’s mom handed him a small, shiny instrument called a ukulele (尤克里里琴). She gently said, “I heard the ukulele has a special way of healing hearts. Why not give it a try?” At first, Tim hesitated, but with a little encouragement, he pulled the strings of the ukulele. The soft melody (旋律) that emerged seemed to touch the deepest parts of his heart. Tim felt a ray of hope for the first time in a long while. His parents, seeing the positive change, enrolled Tim in a music class. There, he met a kind and patient teacher named Mrs. Johnson. In music class, Tim and Mrs. Johnson developed a close connection. She was a supportive and patient teacher, understanding how music could help Tim emotionally. During their time together, Mrs. Johnson inspired Tim to try composing his own music.
