Which of the following best describes the steaks in Meat? A. Fresh. B. Green. C. Expensive. D. Personalized. B It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 24. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C. Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 25. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 26. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 27. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D. Chance favors the prepared mind. C Some people say they “never forget a face.” But what does that saying mean? Is there really no limit to the number of faces a person can remember? A new study from a group of researchers at the University of York in England has found that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces. They published their findings on facial recognition this month in the Proceedings of The Royal Society B, Biological Sciences. Rob Jenkins works in the psychology department at the University of York. He said the researchers’ study centered on “the number of faces people actually know”. The study suggests our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know, like family and friends. For the human study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible. Some examples may include people they went to school with, people they work with and family members. Then, they wrote down famous faces they know, such as actors, politicians and other public people. The results showed that the participants(参与者) knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces. Jenkins said one explanation may be that some people have a natural ability for remembering faces. “There are differences in how much attention people pay to faces and how well they process the information,” he said. Jenkins also said it could be because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places. So, they may have had more social contact throughout their lives. The people in the study included 25 men and women students from two universities. They were between 18 and 61 years old. Researchers think age may be an interesting area for further research. Jenkins said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces. 28. What was the new study mainly about? A. How long people can remember faces. B. When people will forget faces. C. Why people can deal with different faces. D. How many faces people can know. 29. What do we know about the participants in the study? A. They are good at recognizing faces. B. They remember more famous people. C. They have different social backgrounds. D. They try their best to avoid social contact. 30. What can we learn about the last paragraph? A. We are sure to gather more faces as we age. B. The future research may focus more on age. C. The participants in the study are in their youth. D. It may be harder to remember faces of different ages. 31. What is the text? A. An interview. B. A research report. C. A character story. D. A scientific novel. D When you have to cancel your Thanksgiving plans due to the spread of the COVID-19, you may find yourself craving companionship as much as that pumpkin pie. That’s because parts of the brain respond to loneliness much like they react to hunger, according to a study in Nature Neuroscience. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology scanned the brains of 40 healthy, social young adults after 10 hours of either fasting (禁食) or social isolation (隔离). They found that after being alone, participants’ neurological responses to social signals were similar to hungry people reacting to food — that is, certain areas of the brain linked to desire were turned on to start working. For an isolated person, a picture of people laughing together caused the same areas of the brain to light up as when a hungry person looked at a big plate of pasta. “Just like hunger is an unpleasant sensation that motivates us to seek out food and thirst motivates us to seek out water, loneliness is a biological need that motivates us to reconnect to others,” Holt-Lunstad told Insider. Researchers were surprised to find that people who were prevented from socializing became much more focused on that need, and less reactive to hunger. As their loneliness increased, they became less responsive to images of food. These latest findings suggest that the relationship between food and loneliness might be more complicated than we thought, despite the popular opinion of stress-eating to cope with social isolation. More research is needed to understand the complex ways people deal with loneliness. Studies like this can help scientists understand how the brain processes loneliness, and possibly reduce the negative consequences. However, although loneliness may be similar to hunger, fixing it isn’t as easy as serving someone a hearty dinner because people are unique and they need varying levels of social interactions to meet their needs. 32. The underlined word “craving” in the first paragraph can be replaced by . A. avoiding B. desiring C. preferring D. ignoring 33. Researchers scanned the brains of the young adults . A. to find their brain responses to both loneliness and hunger B. to provide explanations for their feeling lonely and hungry C. to find how loneliness can have a negative impact on health D. after they have been hungry and socially isolated for 10 hours 34. What conclusion can be drawn from what Holt-Lunstad said in Paragraph 4? A. Hunger is an unpleasant sensation. B. Hunger and thirst motivate us to feed ourselves. C. Socializing is supposed to be basic human need as it is. D. The effects of loneliness on health are comparable to other factors. 35. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Loneliness may be fixed just as hunger is satisfied. B. Situations of loneliness are complicated and hard to cope with. C. Scientists have understood how the brain processes loneliness. D. Loneliness is such a common and serious problem that we all have to suffer. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will eventually lead us to our destination, our purpose in life.

We’re going to be late!” Janice searched the house crazily for her wallet. “Josh! Did you hide my wallet? We have to be at Grandpa’s for his birthday party!” Josh, Janice’s four-year-old younger brother, smiled innocently at her, but his cunning (狡黠的) eyes gave himself away. She tried her best not to shout. Grinning (咧嘴笑) like a cat, Josh reached under the sofa, pulled out her wallet and held it over his head. Janice grabbed it. Ten minutes later, they hurried to the train station. Red-faced and sweating, Janice let go of Josh’s wrist and removed the sweat from her forehead. The train arrived. Her smile froze when she realized that the train was packed with passengers. Grabbing Josh’s hand, Janice boarded the train. She commanded, “The train’s really crowded, Josh. Behave yourself, stick close to me, and no monkey business!” Josh nodded, holding tightly to a rail. Janice smiled. When it was time to get off the train, Janice quickly pushed her way through the crowd to get onto the platform. “We made it!” Janice said, turning around. Josh was nowhere to be seen. The crowd was flooding out, but Josh was not among them. “The train doors are closing,” then came the electronic voice. Soon, the crowd on the platform died down. The last thing Janice saw was Josh’s little anxious face at the train window: Just as Janice was about to call out Josh’s name, the train disappeared from view. “Josh!” Janice screamed. Janice’s mind was transported back to when she was lost at the zoo. She could still vividly remember the towering figures surrounding her and none of them were’ familiar. “I don’t want Josh to go through that same bitter experience,” Janice let out a sigh. Janice took out her mobile phone, ready to call her mother. However, midway, she decided against it. Her mother, who was far away in France on business, could do nothing but get restless. Janice paced up and down the platform anxiously. 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。 Just then, Janice received a call from an unknown number. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having waved goodbye to the lady, they headed for their destination. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
