Here, approximately 30 people gather every week for an hour of Zumba led by Dr. Care Gellin. During the day, Gellin is a pediatrician at Golisano Children’s Hospital. At night though, twice week she leads Zumba classes, attracting all sorts of people. It’s a trademarked Latin-inspired dance workout. Participants needn’t copy her moves exactly, rather everyone can have fun and move their bodies in whatever way they feel the most comfortable. Gellin was first introduced to Zumba in 2010. While looking for a fun way to work out while recovering from her pregnancy (怀孕) and birth she accidentally had a Zumba class. She loved her firs instructor and got hooked (着迷). A year later, she became a certified Zumba instructor. After teaching at several gyms, Gellin eventually started teaching in the basement of the hospital. Gellin noted that most of her job is centered around education rather than practicing medicine, so she spends lots of time thinking about what safe learning spaces mean. This has translated into her Zumba teaching. While there’re no mistakes in Zumba, there’re unfortunately mistakes in medicine —some with serious consequences. Gellin works on setting up learning so her students can have safety nets to catch them if they make an error in judgment and prevent patient harm. She added, “I love moments where I can tell some of the students have memorized the moves. Every student participates in the class at a different intensity level, so my goal is to present a level that no matter where you are, you have to push yourself.” Zumba is meant to be a workout after all with songs incorporating(包含) more fitness movements. “I’ve been working out since I was 10,” she said, reflecting on all of her past and present activities. “Zumba is probably the most fun of all of them.” 24. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By giving a definition. B. By providing evidence C. By describing a scene. D. By making a prediction. 25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Gellin’s first introduction to Zumba. B. Gellin’s great interest in learning Zumba. C. Gellin’s recovery from pregnancy and birth. D. Gellin’s journey to becoming a Zumba instructor 26. What is Zumba designed for according to Gellin? A An alternative to practicing medicine. B. A fun and comfortable way to work out C. An activity to attract more participants. D. A challenging course to push the limits. 27. What can we learn about Gellin? A. She has been learning Zumba since she was 10. B. She suffered from depression during pregnancy. C. She asked her students to follow her moves exactly D. She took security seriously while teaching Zumba. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了尊巴舞的特点以及Gellin从事尊巴舞蹈教学的经历。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you enter the Goergen Athletic Center, you may hear the rhythmic Latin music of the weekly Zumba class. Here, approximately 30 people gather every week for an hour of Zumba led by Dr. Care Gellin.(如果你进入格尔根体育中心，你可能会听到每周尊巴课上有节奏的拉丁音乐。在这里，每周大约有30人聚集在一起，在卡瑞·格林博士的带领下跳一小时的尊巴舞)”可知，作者通过描述场景引入主题。故选C。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Gellin was first introduced to Zumba in 2010. While looking for a fun way to work out while recovering from her pregnancy (怀孕) and birth, she accidentally had a Zumba class. She loved her firs instructor and got hooked (着迷). A year later, she became a certified Zumba instructor. After teaching at several gyms, Gellin eventually started teaching in the basement of the hospital.(2010年，盖林第一次接触尊巴舞。当她从怀孕和分娩中恢复过来，寻找一种有趣的锻炼方式时，她意外地参加了尊巴舞课程。她爱上了她的第一个教练，并被迷住了。一年后，她成为了一名经过认证的尊巴舞教练。在几家健身房教书之后，盖林最终开始在医院的地下室教书)”可知，第三段的主要内容是Gellin成为尊巴舞教练的旅程。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“While looking for a fun way to work out while recovering from her pregnancy (怀孕) and birth, she accidentally had a Zumba class.(当她从怀孕和分娩中恢复过来，寻找一种有趣的锻炼方式时，她意外地参加了尊巴舞课程)”以及最后一段“Zumba is probably the most fun of all of them.(尊巴舞可能是所有舞蹈中最有趣的)”可知，根据Gellin的说法，尊巴舞是一种有趣又舒适的锻炼方式。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Gellin works on setting up learning so her students can have safety nets to catch them if they make an error in judgment and prevent patient harm.(Gellin致力于建立学习机制，这样她的学生在判断错误时就能有安全网来抓住他们，防止对病人造成伤害)”可知，Gellin在教尊巴舞时很重视安全问题。故选D。 C Experiments on rats show that mixing energy drinks with alcohol can cause long-term problems with cognitive (认知的) function, adding to concerns over young adults drinking habits. The study was carried out by a team from the University of Cagliari, and groups of male adolescent rats being given alcohol, energy drinks, or a mixture of both. Various standard experiments were then used to assess cognitive function - including brain scans and behavioral tests - up to 53 days after drinking. These tests revealed that the animals consuming the mixed drinks showed enduring changes in their ability to learn and remember and changes in the hippocampus (海马体) - a part of the brain responsible for learning and memory. Alcohol and energy drinks are popular with young people for various reasons, and the effects from this study are that these habits could cause some long-term harm. In particular, it seems that hippocampus plasticity could be affected, damaging the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new information and demands. While the rats on alcohol and energy drinks initially showed a boost in certain brain functions. these benefits didn’t last, and over time and into adulthood there was a decline in brain capability. The results show that alcohol mixed with energy drinks consumption during the preadoleseent period produces adaptive hippocampal changes at the electrophysiological and molecular levels. associated with changes in behavior, which are already detectable during adolescence and persist in adulthood. These results still need to be confirmed in human studies, and there’re likely differences between sexes due to hormone interactions that weren’t explored in this study. But health concerns over energy drinks are justified. Alcohol has plenty of effects in health, and it’s well-known that mixing the two together in any kind of significant way isn’t the best idea. Overall, the analysis of the whole set of data obtained suggests that alcohol mixed with energy drinks, during adolescence, may have results that are not necessarily the sum of those observed with alcohol or energy drinks alone and permanently affect hippocampal plasticity. 28. How was the study carried out? A. By observing rats’ various behaviors on the spot. B. By comparing rats’ reactions on different occasions. C. By collecting previous data of rats of different kinds D. By measuring the cognitive influences on the tested rats. 29. What does the underlined word “enduring” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Minor. B. Instant. C. Lasting. D. Unnoticeable 30. What can we learn from the study? A. Mixed drinks initially do great damage to rats’ brains. B. Great sex differences have been detected in rats so far. C. Human subjects have not been involved in the process D. The hippocampal and behavioral changes don’t last long. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Adolescent Rats Experimented, Great Concerns Aroused B. More Energy Drinks Consumed, More Health Effects Noted C. Healthy Diet Habits Adopted, Behavioral Patterns Improved D. Energy Drinks Mixed with Alcohol, Brain Functions Affected 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一项关于将能量饮料与酒精混合饮用对青春期大鼠认知能力长期影响的研究。研究发现，这种混合饮品会导致大鼠在学习和记忆能力方面出现持久性改变，特别是影响海马体的可塑性，进而损害大脑适应新信息和需求的能力。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Various standard experiments were then used to assess cognitive function - including brain scans and behavioral tests - up to 53 days after drinking. (然后用各种标准实验来评估饮酒后53天的认知功能，包括脑部扫描和行为测试。)”可知，研究是通过测量对被试大鼠的认知影响来进行的，故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Alcohol and energy drinks are popular with young people for various reasons, and the effects from this study are that these habits could cause some long-term harm. (由于各种原因，酒精和能量饮料在年轻人中很受欢迎，这项研究的结果是，这些习惯可能会造成一些长期危害。)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“这些测试表明，喝了混合饮料的动物在学习和记忆能力以及海马体（大脑中负责学习和记忆的部分）的变化方面表现出持久的变化”，划线词enduring的意思是“持久的”，和lasting意思相近，故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“These results still need to be confirmed in human studies, and there're likely differences between sexes due to hormone interactions that weren't explored in this study. (这些结果仍需要在人类研究中得到证实，而且由于激素的相互作用，两性之间可能存在差异，而这项研究并未探索这些差异。)”可知，我们能从这项研究中了解到人类实验对象尚未参与这一过程。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“These tests revealed that the animals consuming the mixed drinks showed enduring changes in their ability to learn and remember and changes in the hippocampus (海马体) - a part of the brain responsible for learning and memory. (这些测试表明，喝了混合饮料的动物在学习和记忆能力以及海马体（大脑中负责学习和记忆的部分）的变化方面表现出持久的变化。)”和第四段“Alcohol and energy drinks are popular with young people for various reasons, and the effects from this study are that these habits could cause some long-term harm. In particular, it seems that hippocampus plasticity could be affected, damaging the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new information and demands. (由于各种原因，酒精和能量饮料在年轻人中很受欢迎，这项研究的结果是，这些习惯可能会造成一些长期危害。特别是，海马体的可塑性似乎会受到影响，损害大脑适应和改变新信息和需求的能力。)”可知，本文主要讲的是一项关于将能量饮料与酒精混合饮用对青春期大鼠认知能力长期影响的研究，研究发现，这种混合饮品会导致大鼠在学习和记忆能力方面出现持久性改变，特别是影响海马体的可塑性，进而损害大脑适应新信息和需求的能力，因此最好的题目是D选项“Energy Drinks Mixed with Alcohol, Brain Functions Affected (混合酒精的能量饮料影响大脑功能)”。故选D。 D New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can’t make you smarter, the environments we’re in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them. A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing. “We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a poorer performance,” says Isabella Bower. The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they’d previously submitted. In exam rooms with high ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accounting for age, gender, time, subject and prior exam experience—other factors potentially affecting the results. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, ”says Bower. Those are questions that future research can find out. It’s clear that environment matters—and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose. “Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,” says Jaclyn Broadbent. “It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.” 32. How is the new study different from the previous one? A. It is conducted in a real-world situation instead of in labs B. It rules out potential factors that may influence the results C. It makes use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality D. It finds a link between environment and student performance 33. What is future research expected to find out? A. Whether exam rooms with high ceilings will disadvantage students. B. Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study. C. Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings. D. Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings 34. What’s Jaclyn Broadbent’s attitude to holding exams in high-ceilinged rooms? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Opposing. D. Unclear. 35. In which column of a magazine can we probably find this text? A. Health B. Science C. Celebrity D. Architecture 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述新的研究发现，考场天花板的高度与学生的表现之间存在联系，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间会让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.(之前，一些研究人员利用大脑映射技术和虚拟现实技术进行的一项研究发现，认知能力与一个人周围环境的感知大小之间存在关系。在这里，该团队想做一些现实世界的测试。)”可知，这项新研究与之前的研究不同，因为它是在现实世界中进行的，而不是在实验室中进行的。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段“The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, (关键在于，天花板高的大房间似乎对学生不利，我们需要了解大脑机制在起什么作用，以及这是否会对所有学生产生同样的影响，)”以及倒数第二段“Those are questions that future research can find out. (这些都是未来研究可以发现的问题。)”可知，未来的研究有望发现学生在天花板很高的考场是否同样受到影响。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“‘Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,’ says Jaclyn Broadbent. ‘It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.’(Jaclyn Broadbent说：‘1300多年来，考试一直是我们教育体系的重要组成部分，塑造了学生的职业道路和生活。至关重要的是要认识到物理环境对学生表现的潜在影响，并做出必要的调整，以确保所有学生都有平等的成功机会。’)”以及第一段“The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them.(该研究的作者认为，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。)”可知，Jaclyn Broadbent是反对在天花板很高的房间里举行考试。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can’t make you smarter, the environments we’re in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them.(新的研究发现，考场天花板的高度与学生的表现之间存在联系。虽然房间的形状不能让你更聪明，但我们所处的环境会对我们产生影响。该研究的作者认为，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间会让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。)”以及下文可知，文章主要讲述新的研究发现，考场天花板的高度与学生的表现之间存在联系，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间会让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。所以这篇文章应出现在“科学”研究栏目。故选B项。 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。 Research has shown that loneliness is a major threat to longevity (长寿).

It was Job Day, the most exciting day of the Autumn term at Sunnyside Primary school. whispers and laughters spread through the classroom as the young students bright eyed and buzzing with nervous energy, waited for their fate. This was the day Ms, Lee, their wise teacher, would assign each of them a responsibility, a great duty they would shoulder for the entire school year. The reward for the most devoted? A secret prize, whispered to be mysterious. The jobs themselves ranged from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Some, like Timekeeper or Blackboard Brigadier, were respectable but unremarkable. Others, like Head Gardener, were the most wanted of all. All eyes were on Lucy, the quiet girl with a heart of gold. Her diligence and gentle spirit had blossomed (绽放) throughout the previous year, She followed instructions with consistent focus, her work a shining example for her peers. Everyone knew Lucy was to be great, surely for the role of Keeper of the Class Pet, a fluffy rabbit or perhaps a talkative parrot. But this year, Ms. Lee had a surprise in store, A twinkle danced in her eyes as she announced a twist: each student would receive a unique, individual task. Silence fell over the room as she began giving out small, unassuming boxes. Inside each lay a seemingly ordinary responsibility — a duster for the Blackboard Brigadier, a small bell for the Timekeeper, Disappointment hung heavy in the air. When Lucy received her box, her heart sank, Inside, nestled on a bed of soft sand, was a tiny, unmoving ant. “This, Lucy, is no ordinary ant. He needs special care, special understanding,” Ms. Lee whispered. But even Ms. Lee’s words couldn’t mask the wave of disillusionment (幻灭) that swept through the classroom. Murmurs (低语) of discontent arose. Lucy’s friends stood around her. “Just ignore it, Lucy,” one whispered. “It’s not fair!” another shouted. Lucy looked at the tiny ant and a silent promise formed in her heart. This tiny creature, overlooked and underestimated, would become her purpose. She would prove that even in the smallest of tasks, greatness could be found. 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。 “I will turn this little task into something great,” Lucy said to herself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the big day came. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “I will turn this little task into something great,” Lucy said to herself.

Armed with this newfound understanding, Lucy transformed the humble box into a paradise for her ant. She adjusted the temperature and humidity, ensuring an ideal environment for its well-being. Also, she provided it with a diet, nurturing its growth to an unexpected size. Finally, the big day came. Ms. Lee brought with her news that filled Lucy with joy. “I’m thrilled to announce that Lucy has been selected to accompany me on a journey to the museum because she demonstrated the most exceptional care for the delicate ant,” she announced. The classroom erupted in a chorus of cheers and applause. Beaming with pride, the teacher thanked Lucy for her patience and responsibility.

B If you enter the Goergen Athletic Center, you may hear the rhythmic Latin music of the weekly Zumba class. Here, approximately 30 people gather every week for an hour of Zumba led by Dr. Care Gellin. During the day, Gellin is a pediatrician at Golisano Children’s Hospital. At night though, twice week she leads Zumba classes, attracting all sorts of people. It’s a trademarked Latin-inspired dance workout. Participants needn’t copy her moves exactly, rather everyone can have fun and move their bodies in whatever way they feel the most comfortable. Gellin was first introduced to Zumba in 2010. While looking for a fun way to work out while recovering from her pregnancy (怀孕) and birth, she accidentally had a Zumba class. She loved her firs instructor and got hooked (着迷). A year later, she became a certified Zumba instructor. After teaching at several gyms, Gellin eventually started teaching in the basement of the hospital. Gellin noted that most of her job is centered around education rather than practicing medicine, so she spends lots of time thinking about what safe learning spaces mean. This has translated into her Zumba teaching. While there’re no mistakes in Zumba, there’re unfortunately mistakes in medicine —some with serious consequences. Gellin works on setting up learning so her students can have safety nets to catch them if they make an error in judgment and prevent patient harm. She added, “I love moments where I can tell some of the students have memorized the moves. Every student participates in the class at a different intensity level, so my goal is to present a level that no matter where you are, you have to push yourself.” Zumba is meant to be a workout after all with songs incorporating(包含) more fitness movements. “I’ve been working out since I was 10” she said, reflecting on all of her past and present activities. “Zumba is probably the most fun of all of them.” 24. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By giving a definition. B. By providing evidence C. By describing a scene. D. By making a prediction. 25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Gellin’s first introduction to Zumba. B. Gellin’s great interest in learning Zumba. C. Gellin’s recovery from pregnancy and birth. D. Gellin’s journey to becoming a Zumba instructor 26. What is Zumba designed for according to Gellin? A. An alternative to practicing medicine. B. A fun and comfortable way to work out C. An activity to attract more participants. D. A challenging course to push the limits. 27. What can we learn about Gellin? A. She has been learning Zumba since she was 10. B. She suffered from depression during pregnancy. C. She asked her students to follow her moves exactly D. She took security seriously while teaching Zumba. C Experiments on rats show that mixing energy drinks with alcohol can cause long-term problems with cognitive (认知的) function, adding to concerns over young adults drinking habits. The study was carried out by a team from the University of Cagliari, and groups of male adolescent rats being given alcohol, energy drinks, or a mixture of both. Various standard experiments were then used to assess cognitive function - including brain scans and behavioral tests - up to 53 days after drinking. These tests revealed that the animals consuming the mixed drinks showed enduring changes in their ability to learn and remember and changes in the hippocampus (海马体) - a part of the brain responsible for learning and memory. Alcohol and energy drinks are popular with young people for various reasons, and the effects from this study are that these habits could cause some long-term harm. In particular, it seems that hippocampus plasticity could be affected, damaging the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new information and demands. While the rats on alcohol and energy drinks initially showed a boost in certain brain functions. these benefits didn’t last, and over time and into adulthood there was a decline in brain capability. The results show that alcohol mixed with energy drinks consumption during the preadoleseent period produces adaptive hippocampal changes at the electrophysiological and molecular levels. associated with changes in behavior, which are already detectable during adolescence and persist in adulthood. These results still need to be confirmed in human studies, and there’re likely differences between sexes due to hormone interactions that weren’t explored in this study. But health concerns over energy drinks are justified. Alcohol has plenty of effects in health, and it’s well-known that mixing the two together in any kind of significant way isn’t the best idea. Overall, the analysis of the whole set of data obtained suggests that alcohol mixed with energy drinks, during adolescence, may have results that are not necessarily the sum of those observed with alcohol or energy drinks alone and permanently affect hippocampal plasticity. 28. How was the study carried out? A. By observing rats’ various behaviors on the spot. B. By comparing rats’ reactions on different occasions. C. By collecting previous data of rats of different kinds D. By measuring the cognitive influences on the tested rats. 29. What does the underlined word “enduring” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Minor. B. Instant. C. Lasting. D. Unnoticeable 30. What can we learn from the study? A. Mixed drinks initially do great damage to rats’ brains. B. Great sex differences have been detected in rats so far. C. Human subjects have not been involved in the process D. The hippocampal and behavioral changes don’t last long. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Adolescent Rats Experimented, Great Concerns Aroused B. More Energy Drinks Consumed, More Health Effects Noted C. Healthy Diet Habits Adopted, Behavioral Patterns Improved D. Energy Drinks Mixed with Alcohol, Brain Functions Affected D New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can’t make you smarter, the environments we’re in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them. A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing. “We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a poorer performance,” says Isabella Bower. The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they’d previously submitted. In exam rooms with high ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accounting for age, gender, time, subject and prior exam experience—other factors potentially affecting the results. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, ”says Bower. Those are questions that future research can find out. It’s clear that environment matters—and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose. “Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,” says Jaclyn Broadbent. “It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.” 32. How is the new study different from the previous one? A. It is conducted in a real-world situation instead of in labs B. It rules out potential factors that may influence the results C. It makes use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality D. It finds a link between environment and student performance 33. What is future research expected to find out? A. Whether exam rooms with high ceilings will disadvantage students. B. Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study. C. Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings. D. Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings 34. What’s Jaclyn Broadbent’s attitude to holding exams in high-ceilinged rooms? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Opposing. D. Unclear. 35. In which column of a magazine can we probably find this text? A. Health B. Science C. Celebrity D. Architecture 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。 Research has shown that loneliness is a major threat to longevity (长寿).
