Andrew Otazo, 35, and Manny Rionda, 55, from Florida, used an app to track the hurricane bands. They 16 until winds temporarily became weaker before heading out to Key Biscayne Beach to 17 trash.
Then they hauled (拖) in 310 pounds of washed-up traps, rope and other 18 . Two warm-hearted strangers who eagerly joined the cleanup group helped 19 this. The traps can cause great 20 , Otazo said, as they pose a risk to turtles and birds.
Otazo started doing this five years ago, when he 21 a lot of trash trapped beneath the exposed roots of Florida mangroves (红树林). He began to 22 mangroves, and quickly learned about their 23 . They protect the region from erosion (侵蚀) — particularly during extreme weather events, including hurricanes. Then he started to collect trash. So far, he has 24 more than 22,000pounds of trash from South Florida’s coastal ecosystem.
“Florida mangroves 25 the effects of natural disasters — the power that 26 can have in protecting our lives and our belongings is great,” said Anne Birch, a Florida ocean and coast strategy director, adding that mangroves are 27 . “If mangroves are reduced in size, then you are reducing their benefits,” Birch said 28 .
Birch also said that the 29 of environmentalists such as Otazo and Rionda is important. “When you start accumulating (积聚) the power of one 30 , you can make a real difference,” she said.
That’s Otazo’s 31 . Otazo also delivers speeches regularly to raise 32 and encourage people to protect the coastal ecosystem.
As natural disasters occur more frequently — which scientists say are 33 , at least in part, by climate change — Otazo believes his 34 is more important than ever.” I’m 35 to doing this for the rest of my life, until I physically can’t do it anymore,” Otazo said.

A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved (保留) for the committed and adventurous people, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. Before selling our car, I worried most about riding in the cold winter months. But I quickly learned that, as the saying goes, there is no bad weather, only bad clothes I wear gloves, warm socks, and a ski jacket when I ride, and am almost never too cold.
And though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-bike solved my problem. Even when it was 90 degrees outside, I didn’t break a sweat, thanks to my bike’s. pedal-assist mode (脚踏辅助模式) . If I’m honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched to pedal-assist mode, sat back, and enjoyed my ride.
But biking to work wasn’t just pleasant—it was totally enjoyable. One day, shortly after selling our car, I hopped on (跳上) my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. I have to say, this sensation made me happier and healthier.
Of course, e-bikes aren’t going to replace every car on every trip. In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s uarealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T (福特旗下汽车) replaced horses. But as an individual, making short trips on an e-bike would likely save money, cut carbon footprints, and improve health and happiness.
41.What did the author initially think of letting go of his car?
A.A healthy move. B.A forced decision.
C.A call of duty. D.A difficult choice.
42.How did the author feel about the actual experience of riding to work?
A.Panicked. B.Amazed. C.Embarrassed. D.Confused.
43.What does the author say about the e-bike?
A.It makes commuting (通勤上下班) in hot weather more enjoyable and less sweaty.
B.It is impractical for daily commuting in the cold winter months.
C.Its pedal-assist mode helps the author exercise while commuting.
D.It can keep the author warm when riding it in cold weather.
44.What does the underlined part “this sensation” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Desire to head home faster. B.Interest in exploring new routes.
C.Love for exposure to nature. D.Relief from work stress.
45.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The Model T will be back quickly.
B.E-bikes will replace cars very soon.
C.Cyclists should do more to protect themselves.
D.E-bike asks for friendly transport network.
C
Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. ” People- pleasing, or seeking self- worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it is true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and’ caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self- worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not.
This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four- year- old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment.
As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked.
If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliche (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it.
46.What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation?
A.We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us.
B.True freedom comes from understanding and managing others’ perceptions of us.
C.We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us.
D.Freedom is achieved by ignoring all societal expectations.
47.What will happen if we base our self- worth on other people’s approval?
A.We may become more empathetic and understanding towards others.
B.Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced.
C.Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting.
D.We may find a clearer sense of self through feedback from our peers.
48.What may account for our need to be liked or approved of?
A.Our desperate longing for interactions with others.
B.Our understanding of the workings of the world.
C.Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment.
D.Our early childhood fear of being deserted.
49.What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval?
A.Enjoy a happier life. B.Receive more external validation.
C.Exercise self- restraint. D.Strengthen our power of imagination.
50.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A.Live authentically for ourselves and for the approval of others.
B.View our life experiences as valuable lessons.
C.Rely on others’ opinions to build our self- worth.
D.Cultivate self- love and acceptance without conditions.
D
Musicians — from karaoke singers to professional violin players — are better able to hear targeted sounds in a noisy environment, according to a piece of new research that adds to evidence that music makes the brain work better.
“In the past ten years there’s been an explosion of research on music and the brain,” Aniruddh Patel, the Senior Fellow at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, said today at a press briefing.
Most recently brain- imaging studies have shown that music activates many diverse parts of the brain, including an overlap where the brain processes music and language.
“Language is a natural aspect to consider in looking at how music affects the brain”, Patel said, “Like music, language is universal, there’s a strong learning component, and it carries complex meanings.”
For example, brains of people exposed to even casual musical training have an enhanced ability to generate the brain wave patterns associated with specific sounds, be they musical or spoken, said study leader Nina Kraus, director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Kraus’ previous research had shown that when a person listens to a sound, the brain wave recorded in response is physically the same as the sound wave itself. In fact, “playing” the brain wave produces a nearly identical sound.
But for people without a trained ear for music, the ability to make these patterns decreases as background noise increases, experiments show. Musicians, by contrast, have subconsciously trained their brains to better recognize selective sound patterns, even as background noise goes up.
At the same time, people with certain developmental disorders, such as dyslexia (阅读障碍症), have a harder time hearing sounds amid the noise—a serious problem, for example, for students straining to hear the teacher in a noisy classroom.
Musical experience could therefore be a key therapy for children with dyslexia and similar language- related disorders, Kraus said.
In a similar vein, Harvard Medical School neuroscientist Gottfried Schlaug has found that stroke patients who have lost the ability to speak can be trained to say hundreds of phrases by singing them first.
In his research, Schlaug demonstrated the results of intensive musical therapy on patients with lesions (伤) on the left sides of their brains, those areas most associated with language.
Before the therapy, these stroke patients responded to questions with largely incoherent (语无伦次的, 不连贯的) sounds and phrase. But after just a few minutes with therapists, who asked them to sing phrases and tap their hands to the rhythm, the patients could sing “Happy Birthday,” recite their addresses, and communicate if they were thirsty.
“The underdeveloped systems on the right side of the brain that respond to music became enhanced and changed structures,” Schlaug said.
Overall, Schlaug said, the experiments show that “music might be an alternative medium for engaging parts of the brain that are otherwise not engaged.”
51.According to Patel, the function of language is usually under consideration when ________.
A.people tend to study the relation between music and the brain
B.musicians try to explain the profound meaning behind a piece of music
C.scientists do experiments on the function of different parts of the brain
D.audience participate in the discussion on the complexity of music
52.Why can musicians hear selective sound patterns in a noisy environment?
A.Because they have subconsciously trained their ears to get accustomed to those sound patterns.
B.Because their brains have been trained to recognize specific sound patterns in noisy background.
C.Because they can produce the brain wave patterns the same as those sound patterns.
D.Because their trained ears are sensitive to specific sounds no matter where they are.
53.According to Kraus, the significance of the link between music and the brain lies in the fact that ________.
A.language ability can be enhanced by listening to music
B.all kinds of brain disorders can be cured by listening to music
C.music is the sole method to deal with mental diseases
D.music can be effective in treating people with language problems
54.How can stroke patients be treated in Schlaug’s findings?
A.They should utter a phrase a hundred times a day when starting the recovery training.
B.They should chant phrases instead of saying them at the beginning stage of the training.
C.Doctors should persuade them to sing songs every day to regain their speaking ability.
D.They should practise singing the phrases after- saying them hundreds of times every day.
55.By singing phrases, stroke patients are trying to ________.
A.restore the language function of the damaged system in the left brain
B.hinder the damaged structure in the brain from deteriorating sharply
C.improve the structures of the underdeveloped systems in the right brain
D.practise the parts of the brain which are under constant use

阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
Jake was a young software developer living in a busy city. Despite his success at work, he felt unsatisfied and often questioned the purpose of his efforts.
One evening, feeling particularly lost, he decided to take a break and visit a small coastal town where his old friend, Sam, lived. Upon arriving, eke was struck by the town’s calmness. Sam greeted him warmly and suggested they take a hike to a nearby lighthouse. The path was tough, but Sam assured Jake that the view from the top was worth it.
As they climbed, Jake voiced his doubts. “Sam, I’ve been working hard, but I feel stuck. What’s the point?” Sam paused and looked at the path ahead. “Life isn’t always easy, Jake. Sometimes it feels like we’re making no progress, but every step counts, even the hard ones.” Their conversation was interrupted when they reached a particularly rocky section. Jake fell, hurting his knee. Frustrated, he almost gave up and suggested turning back. He felt a mix of anger and disappointment, thinking all his effort was for nothing. But Sam extended a hand, helping him to his feet. “Life’s challenges can knock us down, but we learn and grow by facing them.” Finally, after much effort, they reached the lighthouse. The view was amazing—the vast ocean stretched endlessly, with the setting sun casting golden colors over the water. Jake felt a deep sense of peace and accomplishment. Sam turned to him and said, “See this view, Jake? It shows the big picture of life. The tough journey was worth it. Your work is the same—each challenge and effort leads to something greater.” Jake nodded, realizing his struggles had value.
As they walked back, Jake felt a renewed sense of purpose. He now understood that meaning comes from the journey, not the destination. With this new perspective, he felt ready to face life’s challenges with hope and determination.

Dear Jim,
I’m delighted to hear of your keen interest in Chinese cultural and entertainment performances. Allow me to introduce to you a unique and beloved art form that embodies the essence of Chinese culture: Peking Opera.
Peking Opera, also known as Beijing Opera, is a comprehensive performing art that integrates music, singing, dance, acrobatics, and acting. It originated in the late l8th century and has since evolved into a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. The costumes, facial makeup (known as “lianpu” in Chinese), and elaborate stage props all contribute to its striking visual appeal. Each character is meticulously designed to represent a specific personality or status, with the facial makeup patterns often conveying the character’s nature or fate.
Personally, Peking Opera holds a special place in my heart. It’s not just a form of entertainment but a window into China's rich history and profound cultural heritage. If you ever have the opportunity to attend a live performance, I highly recommend it. It’s an experience that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
Yours,
Li Hua

As natural disasters occur more frequently — which scientists say are 33 , at least in part, by climate change — Otazo believes his 34 is more important than ever.” I’m 35 to doing this for the rest of my life, until I physically can’t do it anymore,” Otazo said.

A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved (保留) for the committed and adventurous people, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. Before selling our car, I worried most about riding in the cold winter months. But I quickly learned that, as the saying goes, there is no bad weather, only bad clothes I wear gloves, warm socks, and a ski jacket when I ride, and am almost never too cold.
And though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-bike solved my problem. Even when it was 90 degrees outside, I didn’t break a sweat, thanks to my bike’s. pedal-assist mode (脚踏辅助模式) . If I’m honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched to pedal-assist mode, sat back, and enjoyed my ride.
But biking to work wasn’t just pleasant—it was totally enjoyable. One day, shortly after selling our car, I hopped on (跳上) my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. I have to say, this sensation made me happier and healthier.
Of course, e-bikes aren’t going to replace every car on every trip. In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s uarealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T (福特旗下汽车) replaced horses. But as an individual, making short trips on an e-bike would likely save money, cut carbon footprints, and improve health and happiness.
41.What did the author initially think of letting go of his car?
A.A healthy move. B.A forced decision.
C.A call of duty. D.A difficult choice.
42.How did the author feel about the actual experience of riding to work?
A.Panicked. B.Amazed. C.Embarrassed. D.Confused.
43.What does the author say about the e-bike?
A.It makes commuting (通勤上下班) in hot weather more enjoyable and less sweaty.
B.It is impractical for daily commuting (通勤上下班) in the cold winter months.
C.Its pedal-assist mode helps the author exercise while commuting.
D.It can keep the author warm when riding it in cold weather.
44.What does the underlined part “this sensation” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Desire to head home faster. B.Interest in exploring new routes.
C.Love for exposure to nature. D.Relief from work stress.
45.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The Model T will be back quickly.
B.E-bikes will replace cars very soon.
C.Cyclists should do more to protect themselves.
D.E-bike asks for friendly transport network.
【答案】41.D 42.B 43.A 44.C 45.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者卖掉自己的汽车换上自行车的改变。
41.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved (保留) for the committed and adventurous people, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. ( 但我仍然认为,放弃我的汽车是留给有奉献精神和冒险精神的人的,是绿色和平志愿者为让世界变得更美好而做的事情。我住在科罗拉多州;电动自行车意味着冬天会冻僵,夏天会出汗。)”可知,作者起初认为放弃汽车是一种困难的选择。故选D。
42.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the past year, the actual experience of riding to work each day has been equally surprising.(在过去的一年里,每天骑车上班的实际经历同样令人惊讶。)”可知,作者对骑车上班的实际体验感到惊讶。故选B。
43.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Even when it was 90 degrees outside, I didn’t break a sweat, thanks to my bike’s pedal-assist mode.(即使外面是90度,我也没有出汗,这要归功于我的自行车的踏板辅助模式。)”可知,e-bike让在热天通勤更加愉悦且不易出汗。故选A。
44.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass.( 与我沿着被金属和玻璃包围的同一条路线旅行时相比,我感觉自己与周围的物理环境联系得更紧密。)”可知,作者骑车能够接触周围的自然环境。“this sensation”指的是对接触自然的热爱。故选C。
45.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s uarealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T ( 福特旗下汽车 ) replaced horses. ( 在一个郊区和商场不受控制的延伸以及无保护的自行车道司空见惯的国家,期望电动自行车以T型车取代马的方式取代汽车是不切实际的。)”可知,为了让e-bike更好地被使用,需要更方便的交通网络。故选D。
C
Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. ” People- pleasing, or seeking self- worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it is true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and’ caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self- worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not.
This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four- year- old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment.
As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked.
If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliche (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it.
46.What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation?
A.We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us.
B.True freedom comes from understanding and managing others’ perceptions of us.
C.We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us.
D.Freedom is achieved by ignoring all societal expectations.
47.What will happen if we base our self- worth on other people’s approval?
A.We may become more empathetic and understanding towards others.
B.Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced.
C.Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting.
D.We may find a clearer sense of self through feedback from our peers.

Musicians — from karaoke singers to professional violin players — are better able to hear targeted sounds in a noisy environment, according to a piece of new research that adds to evidence that music makes the brain work better.
“In the past ten years there’s been an explosion of research on music and the brain,” Aniruddh Patel, the Senior Fellow at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, said today at a press briefing.
Most recently brain- imaging studies have shown that music activates many diverse parts of the brain, including an overlap where the brain processes music and language.
“Language is a natural aspect to consider in looking at how music affects the brain”, Patel said, “Like music, language is universal, there’s a strong learning component, and it carries complex meanings.”
For example, brains of people exposed to even casual musical training have an enhanced ability to generate the brain wave patterns associated with specific sounds, be they musical or spoken, said study leader Nina Kraus, director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Kraus’ previous research had shown that when a person listens to a sound, the brain wave recorded in response is physically the same as the sound wave itself. In fact, “playing” the brain wave produces a nearly identical sound.
But for people without a trained ear for music, the ability to make these patterns decreases as background noise increases, experiments show. Musicians, by contrast, have subconsciously trained their brains to better recognize selective sound patterns, even as background noise goes up.
At the same time, people with certain developmental disorders, such as dyslexia (阅读障碍症), have a harder time hearing sounds amid the noise—a serious problem, for example, for students straining to hear the teacher in a noisy classroom.
Musical experience could therefore be a key therapy for children with dyslexia and similar language- related disorders, Kraus said.
In a similar vein, Harvard Medical School neuroscientist Gottfried Schlaug has found that stroke patients who have lost the ability to speak can be trained to say hundreds of phrases by singing them first.
In his research, Schlaug demonstrated the results of intensive musical therapy on patients with lesions (伤) on the left sides of their brains, those areas most associated with language.
Before the therapy, these stroke patients responded to questions with largely incoherent (语无伦次的, 不连贯的) sounds and phrase. But after just a few minutes with therapists, who asked them to sing phrases and tap their hands to the rhythm, the patients could sing “Happy Birthday,” recite their addresses, and communicate if they were thirsty.
“The underdeveloped systems on the right side of the brain that respond to music became enhanced and changed structures,” Schlaug said.
Overall, Schlaug said, the experiments show that “music might be an alternative medium for engaging parts of the brain that are otherwise not engaged.”
51.According to Patel, the function of language is usually under consideration when ________.
A.people tend to study the relation between music and the brain
B.musicians try to explain the profound meaning behind a piece of music
C.scientists do experiments on the function of different parts of the brain
D.audience participate in the discussion on the complexity of music
52.Why can musicians hear selective sound patterns in a noisy environment?
A.Because they have subconsciously trained their ears to get accustomed to those sound patterns.
B.Because their brains have been trained to recognize specific sound patterns in noisy background.
C.Because they can produce the brain wave patterns the same as those sound patterns.
D.Because their trained ears are sensitive to specific sounds no matter where they are.
53.According to Kraus, the significance of the link between music and the brain lies in the fact that ________.
A.language ability can be enhanced by listening to music
B.all kinds of brain disorders can be cured by listening to music
C.music is the sole method to deal with mental diseases
D.music can be effective in treating people with language problems
54.How can stroke patients be treated in Schlaug’s findings?
A.They should utter a phrase a hundred times a day when starting the recovery training.
B.They should chant phrases instead of saying them at the beginning stage of the training.
C.Doctors should persuade them to sing songs every day to regain their speaking ability.
D.They should practise singing the phrases after- saying them hundreds of times every day.
55.By singing phrases, stroke patients are trying to ________.
A.restore the language function of the damaged system in the left brain
B.hinder the damaged structure in the brain from deteriorating sharply
C.improve the structures of the underdeveloped systems in the right brain
D.practise the parts of the brain which are under constant use
【答案】51.A 52.C 53.D 54.B 55.C
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐与大脑之间的关系,音乐可以促进大脑工作,调动大脑中未被调动的部分,并且在治疗有语言障碍的病人方面有一定疗效。
51.细节理解题。根据第四段Patel说的话“Language is a natural aspect to consider in looking at how music affects the brain(在研究音乐如何影响大脑时,语言是一个很自然要考虑的方面)”可知,Patel认为当人们要研究音乐和大脑之间的关系时,语言的功能是要被考虑的。故选A。
52.细节理解题。根据第六段“Kraus’ previous research had shown that when a person listens to a sound, the brain wave recorded in response is physically the same as the sound wave itself.(Kraus之前的研究表明,当一个人听到声音时,记录下来的脑电波与声波本身在物理上是相同的。)”和第七段“But for people without a trained ear for music, the ability to make these patterns decreases as background noise increases, experiments show. Musicians, by contrast, have subconsciously trained their brains to better recognize selective sound patterns, even as background noise goes up.(但实验表明,对于没有受过音乐训练的人来说,随着背景噪音的增加,他们识别这些模式的能力会下降。相比之下,音乐家潜意识地训练他们的大脑更好地识别有选择性的声音模式,即使背景噪音变大。)”可知,一个人在听到声音时,所产生的脑电波和声波具有物理相似性,没有受过音乐训练的人在噪音背景中,识别声音的能力会下降,而音乐家经过专门的音乐训练,所以能够在噪音背景中识别特定的声音模式。故选C。
53.细节理解题。根据第九段“Musical experience could therefore be a key therapy for children with dyslexia and similar language- related disorders, Kraus said.(因此,音乐体验可能是儿童阅读障碍和类似语言相关障碍的关键治疗方法,Kraus说。)”可知,Kraus认为,音乐和大脑之间联系的重要性就在于音乐可能在治疗有语言障碍的病人方面很有效。故选D。
54.细节理解题。根据第十段“In a similar vein, Harvard Medical School neuroscientist Gottfried Schlaug has found that stroke patients who have lost the ability to speak can be trained to say hundreds of phrases by singing them first.(类似地,哈佛医学院的神经科学家Gottfried Schlaug发现,失去说话能力的中风患者可以通过先唱歌来训练说出数百个短语。)”可知,在Schlaug的研究结果中,中风病人在训练的初期应该先练习唱出短语,而不是说出短语。故选B。
55.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Schlaug的话“The underdeveloped systems on the right side of the brain that respond to music became enhanced and changed structures,(大脑右半部分对音乐做出反应的不发达系统得到了增强,并改变了结构。)”可知,通过唱出短语,中风病人正在努力改善右半大脑不发达系统的结构。故选C。

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
Jake was a young software developer living in a busy city. Despite his success at work, he felt unsatisfied and often questioned the purpose of his efforts.
One evening, feeling particularly lost, he decided to take a break and visit a small coastal town where his old friend, Sam, lived. Upon arriving, eke was struck by the town’s calmness. Sam greeted him warmly and suggested they take a hike to a nearby lighthouse. The path was tough, but Sam assured Jake that the view from the top was worth it.
As they climbed, Jake voiced his doubts. “Sam, I’ve been working hard, but I feel stuck. What’s the point?” Sam paused and looked at the path ahead. “Life isn’t always easy, Jake. Sometimes it feels like we’re making no progress, but every step counts, even the hard ones.” Their conversation was interrupted when they reached a particularly rocky section. Jake fell, hurting his knee. Frustrated, he almost gave up and suggested turning back. He felt a mix of anger and disappointment, thinking all his effort was for nothing. But Sam extended a hand, helping him to his feet. “Life’s challenges can knock us down, but we learn and grow by facing them.” Finally, after much effort, they reached the lighthouse. The view was amazing—the vast ocean stretched endlessly, with the setting sun casting golden colors over the water. Jake felt a deep sense of peace and accomplishment. Sam turned to him and said, “See this view, Jake? It shows the big picture of life. The tough journey was worth it. Your work is the same—each challenge and effort leads to something greater.” Jake nodded, realizing his struggles had value.

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m delighted to hear of your keen interest in Chinese cultural and entertainment performances. Allow me to introduce to you a unique and beloved art form that embodies the essence of Chinese culture: Peking Opera.
Peking Opera, also known as Beijing Opera, is a comprehensive performing art that integrates music, singing, dance, acrobatics, and acting. It originated in the late l8th century and has since evolved into a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. The costumes, facial makeup (known as “lianpu” in Chinese), and elaborate stage props all contribute to its striking visual appeal. Each character is meticulously designed to represent a specific personality or status, with the facial makeup patterns often conveying the character’s nature or fate.
Personally, Peking Opera holds a special place in my heart. It’s not just a form of entertainment but a window into China's rich history and profound cultural heritage. If you ever have the opportunity to attend a live performance, I highly recommend it. It’s an experience that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
Yours,
Li Hua
