It can be hard for a person with autism to find a job or make friends. The disease is not well known and there is not much support for people like Zu. He is nonverbal, which means he does not speak. But he is doing better now as he is learning music and spending time with other young people at a school called Chen’s Studio in Beijing. Chen’s Studio started offering music lessons for people with autism when the pandemic (流行病) started. Zu’s mother, Zhao Guorong, brings her son to the music school every Sunday so he can study with the teacher, Chen Shensi. It takes them two hours on three different buses to get to the classroom from their home outside of Beijing. At the Beijing studio, Zu learned how to play the keyboards and sing in a band called Star Kids. “Without music, without these lessons, he wouldn’t have anything, Zhao said. The children he grew up with, she said, all have jobs or go to school. She said her son would not have any people to socialize with if it were not for the music school. Although Zu is older than the other young people at Chen’s Studio, "they all take care of him like he’s their brother,” Zhao said. Chen knows the young people with autism will have trouble getting jobs, so he hopes music will help them make a living. The Star Kids band has already played some concerts. At the start, it was hard. Chen became frustrated (沮丧的) when he had trouble communicating with his students. However, it eventually became easier. He said he knows it is hard for them to communicate. But “to some degree, I think music might be their language”. 4. What is the feature of people with autism? A. They have lost the ability to speak. B. They are talented in learning music. C. Their conditions can’t be improved. D. They have difficulty making friends. 5. What do we know about Zu Wenbao? A. He is poor and has nothing. B. He is lonely with no friends. C. He is the oldest in his class. D. He has found a job recently. 6. What was Zhao Guorong’s attitude towards Chen’s Studio? A. Doubtful. B. Grateful. C. Dissatisfied. D. Concerned. 7. What is the goal of Chen’s Studio? A. To help people with autism make a living. B. To teach people with autism a language. C. To provide people with autism with jobs. D. To help people with autism become music stars. C Directed by the AFM private company, National University of Science and Technology(NUST)MISIS engineers, together with the Karfidov Lab design group, have invented a machine named Salatomat that could serve meals to users in a very short time. The engineers say this machine cooks dishes from vegetables and cereals(谷物)in 30-60 seconds, so it can produce between 150 and 500 meals per day. The cooking machine contains 16 basic ingredients-vegetables, cereals, potatoes, noodles-and 20 dressings and toppings. With this set, Salatomat can cook up to 1, 000 different dishes, with the user able to make a personal choice of products. These dishes are especially fit for those who live a healthy lifestyle or have some health problems. “The machine has its own ‘brain’. It can remember users’ choices and medical history. And it knows what is in it and what it can produce with the help of the RFID chip,” said Aleksey Karfidov, head of the department of technological equipment engineering at NUST MISIS. “The process begins with the preparation of products -putting ingredients into the robot, cutting vegetables, and controlling the temperature (cooling or heating, depending on the dish),” said Aleksey Karfidov. According to the developers, the robot is able to ensure the safety of food and quick preparation of well-balanced meals. The machine will also be completely non-contact-all cooking steps are carried out by itself. All ingredients inside Salatomat are put into clean containers. Ingredients can be stored in the containers for eight hours at most, and if not used, they must be removed and cleaned. 8. What is Salatomat designed to do? A. Store different foods. B. Help prepare meals. C. Wash the dishes. D. Grow vegetables. 9. What can be inferred about Salatomat according to Aleksey Karfidov? A. It’s smart. B. It’s unworkable. C. It’s expensive. D. It’s space-saving. 10. What does paragraph4 mainly talk about? A. The way Salatomat works. B. The change Salatomat brings. C. The cost of buying ingredients. D. The importance of food safety. 11. What should users notice when using Salatomat? A. Clean it up after each use. B. Mix everything together before it works. C. Keep a close eye on its temperature. D. Take out its ingredients stored over eight hours. D Babies blink and cry — and a few weeks into their lives, they might smile. But do these movements mean that newborns have conscious (有意识的) experiences of understanding the world around them? Based on recent studies valuing babies’ brain activities and eye movements, the case for consciousness in newborns is increasingly strong. “We still don’t have a final answer, but new evidence has contributed to an increasing agreement that consciousness starts early, in comparison with other theories that claim we need more cognitive (认知的) development for babies to become conscious,” says Ferreira, professor of bi ology at the NYU School. This new evidence for consciousness relies on methods that creatively value brain activity in newborns. Babies can’t respond to directions and sleep quite a bit, making their minds difficult to study. Ferreira’s new article discusses the new ways that scientists value whether babies are conscious: measuring brainwave responses to unexpected sounds, using imaging to value the brain’s networks, and tracking eye movements such as blinks to see how babies react to different stimuli (刺激). Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies. Parents usually already believe that their babies are conscious creatures and can experience suffering and pleasure. They try to make their babies comfortable and make sure that they have a better environment for their development. If we have a better understanding about babies’ conscious minds, we may be able to better the way we relate to babies. This may also be useful for baby care. Until quite recently, people thought that babies needed more brain development to be able to feel pain. Now we know that even though the baby brain is still developing, the feeling of pain seems to already be there. 12. How did Ferreira get the new evidence? A. By measuring babies’ brain activity. B. By searching for related experience. C. By collecting unknown sounds. D. By comparing different pictures. 13. What is the challenge of studying consciousness in babies? A. Behavior observation is unreliable. B. Babies can’t follow researcher’s directions. C. Babies’ sleep state is completely different. D. Valuing the brain’s networks is not scientific. 14. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Tracking brains’ networks. B. The ways of stimulating eyes. C. Understanding how and when consciousness appears. D. Parents’ previous belief on taking care of kids. 15. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs? A. Our knowledge of baby consciousness needs improvement. B The development of brain causes the feeling of pain. C. A comfortable environment cannot be ignored. D. The quality of present baby care is of low level. 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。 Walking in the city is very different from walking in the park. A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. ____16____ It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive (认知的) tiredness and improve reaction time straight away. ____17____ The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a l5-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene. ____18____ On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load. ____19____ In the trial, participants were asked to distinguish (区分) between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment). Measuring reaction time in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. ____20____ Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea. A. Nature influences us in many ways. B. A walk through nature does the opposite, though. C. They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking. D. After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort. E. The study includes two experiments with two different ways. F. The second experiment dug into some higher-level cognitive processes. G. The reason is that urban environments are more likely to take our attention away. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A 、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选。 I went on a bird-watching hike in the South American rainforest to see some rare birds.

Just as the animals were hibernating (冬眠), it seemed that so were our new neighbors. As newcomers, we felt alone. Then something happened. It all began with a simple request from our eight-year-old daughter. “Mommy, let's put up a Christmas tree at home. ” At first we didn't pay too much attention to this request, for we had never put up a Christmas tree. But my daughter's repeated request made us go ahead with this first step: loaded with layers of clothing to fight the unfamiliar cold, we tasked ourselves with finding a tree for our daughter. When we finally selected our tree, we realized we didn't have a car big enough to get it home. Of course, we had not considered that. It was our first time. We had no choice but to carry it home. We had walked only a few steps when a gentleman in our neighborhood stopped his truck and offered us a ride home. Our first friend. The Christmas tree was propped up (支起) in our living area but it was too dark. We needed Christmas lights! So, the next evening, we went to a store and asked for lights. The storekeeper, who, after getting over the surprise of our seemingly silly questions, explained to us that we needed multi-colored lights. Thanking the kind soul, we left with our lights and his warmth. Our second friend. That night, we carefully wound the lights around the tree and excitedly held our breaths for the beauty of the first glow. Still, it looked like something was missing: small ornaments (装 饰) . Where would we get them? One lady across the street had a breathtaking tree carefully placed in a window for all to see. Every night, I stood behind the curtain, spending unnatural amounts of time studying the bells and whistles in her tree. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One evening, seeing the lady clearing snow off her sidewalk, I made a decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 淄博四中高2024级高一上学期期中考试 英语试卷 本试题分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分，共67题，页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。考试结束后只将答题卡交回。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必将本人班级、姓名、考号、考场、座号用正楷字体填写在答题卡相应位置。 2. 答第Ⅰ卷时，必须使用2B铅笔填涂答题卡上相应题目的答案涂黑，修改时，要用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号，写在试卷上的答案无效。 3. 答第Ⅱ卷时，必须使用0.5毫米的黑色签字笔书写，作图时，可用2B铅笔，要求字体工整，笔迹清晰。务必在题号所指示的答题区域内作答，写在试卷及草稿纸上的答案无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最 佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对 话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

It can be hard for a person with autism to find a job or make friends. The disease is not well known and there is not much support for people like Zu. He is nonverbal, which means he does not speak. But he is doing better now as he is learning music and spending time with other young people at a school called Chen’s Studio in Beijing. Chen’s Studio started offering music lessons for people with autism when the pandemic (流行病) started. Zu’s mother, Zhao Guorong, brings her son to the music school every Sunday so he can study with the teacher, Chen Shensi. It takes them two hours on three different buses to get to the classroom from their home outside of Beijing. At the Beijing studio, Zu learned how to play the keyboards and sing in a band called Star Kids. “Without music, without these lessons, he wouldn’t have anything, Zhao said. The children he grew up with, she said, all have jobs or go to school. She said her son would not have any people to socialize with if it were not for the music school. Although Zu is older than the other young people at Chen’s Studio, "they all take care of him like he’s their brother,” Zhao said. Chen knows the young people with autism will have trouble getting jobs, so he hopes music will help them make a living. The Star Kids band has already played some concerts. At the start, it was hard. Chen became frustrated (沮丧的) when he had trouble communicating with his students. However, it eventually became easier. He said he knows it is hard for them to communicate. But “to some degree, I think music might be their language”. 4. What is the feature of people with autism? A. They have lost the ability to speak. B. They are talented in learning music. C. Their conditions can’t be improved. D. They have difficulty making friends. 5. What do we know about Zu Wenbao? A He is poor and has nothing. B. He is lonely with no friends. C. He is the oldest in his class. D. He has found a job recently. 6. What was Zhao Guorong’s attitude towards Chen’s Studio? A. Doubtful. B. Grateful. C. Dissatisfied. D. Concerned. 7. What is the goal of Chen’s Studio? A. To help people with autism make a living. B. To teach people with autism a language. C. To provide people with autism with jobs. D. To help people with autism become music stars. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7.

The children he grew up with, she said, all have jobs or go to school. She said her son would not have any people to socialize with if it were not for the music school. Although Zu is older than the other young people at Chen’s Studio, “they all take care of him like he’s their brother,” Zhao said.(“没有音乐，没有这些课程，他什么都不会有，”赵说。她说，和他一起长大的孩子都有工作或上学。她说，如果没有音乐学校，她儿子就没有人可以交往了。虽然祖的年龄比陈工作室里的其他年轻人都大，但“他们都像对待自己的兄弟一样对待他，”赵说)”可知，赵国荣感激陈工作室。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Chen knows the young people with autism will have trouble getting jobs, so he hopes music will help them make a living.(陈知道患有自闭症的年轻人很难找到工作，所以他希望音乐能帮助他们谋生)”可知，陈工作室的目标是帮助自闭症患者谋生。故选A。 C Directed by the AFM private company, National University of Science and Technology(NUST)MISIS engineers, together with the Karfidov Lab design group, have invented a machine named Salatomat that could serve meals to users in a very short time. The engineers say this machine cooks dishes from vegetables and cereals(谷物)in 30-60 seconds, so it can produce between 150 and 500 meals per day. The cooking machine contains 16 basic ingredients-vegetables, cereals, potatoes, noodles-and 20 dressings and toppings. With this set, Salatomat can cook up to 1, 000 different dishes, with the user able to make a personal choice of products. These dishes are especially fit for those who live a healthy lifestyle or have some health problems. “The machine has its own ‘brain’. It can remember users’ choices and medical history. And it knows what is in it and what it can produce with the help of the RFID chip,” said Aleksey Karfidov, head of the department of technological equipment engineering at NUST MISIS. “The process begins with the preparation of products -putting ingredients into the robot, cutting vegetables, and controlling the temperature (cooling or heating, depending on the dish),” said Aleksey Karfidov. According to the developers, the robot is able to ensure the safety of food and quick preparation of well-balanced meals. The machine will also be completely non-contact-all cooking steps are carried out by itself. All ingredients inside Salatomat are put into clean containers. Ingredients can be stored in the containers for eight hours at most, and if not used, they must be removed and cleaned. 8. What is Salatomat designed to do? A. Store different foods. B. Help prepare meals. C. Wash the dishes. D. Grow vegetables. 9. What can be inferred about Salatomat according to Aleksey Karfidov? A. It’s smart. B. It’s unworkable. C. It’s expensive. D. It’s space-saving. 10. What does paragraph4 mainly talk about? A. The way Salatomat works. B. The change Salatomat brings. C. The cost of buying ingredients. D. The importance of food safety. 11. What should users notice when using Salatomat? A. Clean it up after each use. B. Mix everything together before it works. C. Keep a close eye on its temperature. D. Take out its ingredients stored over eight hours. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了一个叫做Salatomat的机器，该机器可以在很短的时间内为用户提供餐食。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Directed by the AFM private company, National University of Science and Technology(NUST)MISIS engineers, together with the Karfidov Lab design group, have invented a machine named Salatomat that could serve meals to users in a very short time. The engineers say this machine cooks dishes from vegetables and cereals(谷物)in 30-60 seconds, so it can produce between 150 and 500 meals per day.(在AFM私人公司的指导下，国家科技大学(NUST)MISIS的工程师与Karfidov实验室设计小组一起发明了一种名为Salatomat的机器，可以在很短的时间内为用户提供食物。工程师们说，这台机器在30-60秒内就能把蔬菜和谷物做成菜，所以它每天可以做150到500顿饭。)”可知，名为Salatomat的机器可以在很短的时间内为用户提供食物即它被设计来帮忙准备饭菜。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““The machine has its own ‘brain’. It can remember users’ choices and medical history. And it knows what is in it and what it can produce with the help of the RFID chip,” (“机器有自己的‘大脑’。它可以记住用户的选择和病史。它知道里面有什么，在RFID芯片的帮助下可以生产什么。”)”可知，Salatomat的机器可以记住用户的选择和病史，根据需要生产出相应的菜品，由此推断该机器是智能的和聪明的。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中““The process begins with the preparation of products -putting ingredients into the robot, cutting vegetables, and controlling the temperature (cooling or heating, depending on the dish),” said Aleksey Karfidov. (阿列克谢·卡尔菲多夫说：“这个过程从准备产品开始——把原料放进机器人里，切蔬菜，控制温度(冷却或加热，取决于菜肴)。”)”以及“The machine will also be completely non-contact-all cooking steps are carried out by itself.(这台机器也将是完全非接触式的——所有的烹饪步骤都是自己完成的。)”可知，本段主要讲述了该机器的工作方式，即从准备产品开始，以及到烹饪，所有的步骤都是由该机器自己完成的。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ Ingredients can be stored in the containers for eight hours at most, and if not used, they must be removed and cleaned.(食材在容器中最多可存放8小时，如果不用，必须取出清洗。)”可知，食材在容器中最多可存放8小时，故当食材超过8个小时的时需将其取出。故选D。 D Babies blink and cry — and a few weeks into their lives, they might smile. But do these movements mean that newborns have conscious (有意识的) experiences of understanding the world around them? Based on recent studies valuing babies’ brain activities and eye movements, the case for consciousness in newborns is increasingly strong. “We still don’t have a final answer, but new evidence has contributed to an increasing agreement that consciousness starts early, in comparison with other theories that claim we need more cognitive (认知的) development for babies to become conscious,” says Ferreira, professor of bi ology at the NYU School. This new evidence for consciousness relies on methods that creatively value brain activity in newborns. Babies can’t respond to directions and sleep quite a bit, making their minds difficult to study. Ferreira’s new article discusses the new ways that scientists value whether babies are conscious: measuring brainwave responses to unexpected sounds, using imaging to value the brain’s networks, and tracking eye movements such as blinks to see how babies react to different stimuli (刺激). Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies. Parents usually already believe that their babies are conscious creatures and can experience suffering and pleasure. They try to make their babies comfortable and make sure that they have a better environment for their development. If we have a better understanding about babies’ conscious minds, we may be able to better the way we relate to babies. This may also be useful for baby care. Until quite recently, people thought that babies needed more brain development to be able to feel pain. Now we know that even though the baby brain is still developing, the feeling of pain seems to already be there. 12. How did Ferreira get the new evidence? A. By measuring babies’ brain activity. B. By searching for related experience. C. By collecting unknown sounds. D. By comparing different pictures. 13. What is the challenge of studying consciousness in babies? A. Behavior observation is unreliable. B. Babies can’t follow researcher’s directions. C. Babies’ sleep state is completely different. D. Valuing the brain’s networks is not scientific. 14. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Tracking brains’ networks. B. The ways of stimulating eyes. C. Understanding how and when consciousness appears. D. Parents’ previous belief on taking care of kids. 15. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs? A. Our knowledge of baby consciousness needs improvement. B. The development of brain causes the feeling of pain. C. A comfortable environment cannot be ignored. D. The quality of present baby care is of low level. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Ferreira的最新研究结果，新的证据使越来越多的人同意婴儿的意识开始得早，而其他理论声称我们需要更多的认知发展才能让婴儿变得有意识。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Ferreira’s new article discusses the new ways that scientists value whether babies are conscious: measuring brainwave responses to unexpected sounds, using imaging to value the brain’s networks, and tracking eye movements such as blinks to see how babies react to different stimuli (刺激).(Ferreira的新文章讨论了科学家评估婴儿是否有意识的新方法：测量对意外声音的脑电波反应，使用成像来评估大脑网络，以及跟踪眼睛运动(如眨眼)来观察婴儿对不同刺激的反应。)”可知，Ferreira是通过测量婴儿的大脑活动来获得新证据的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Babies can’t respond to directions and sleep quite a bit, making their minds difficult to study.(婴儿不能对指示做出反应，也睡得很少，这使得他们的思想难以研究。)”可知，研究婴儿意识的挑战是婴儿不能听从研究人员的指示。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies.(了解意识何时以及如何产生对于父母与婴儿的关系非常重要。)”说明知道婴儿何时以及如何产生意识，对父母与婴儿的关系非常重要，从而推知划线词句“This may also be useful for baby care.(这对婴儿护理也很有用。)”其中划线词应为“理解意识如何以及何时出现”的意思。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies. Parents usually already believe that their babies are conscious creatures and can experience suffering and pleasure. They try to make their babies comfortable and make sure that they have a better environment for their development. If we have a better understanding about babies’ conscious minds, we may be able to better the way we relate to babies.(了解意识何时以及如何产生对于父母与婴儿的关系非常重要。父母通常已经相信他们的孩子是有意识的生物，可以体验痛苦和快乐。他们试图让他们的孩子舒适，并确保他们有一个更好的发展环境。如果我们对婴儿的意识有了更好的了解，我们就能更好地与婴儿相处。)”和最后一段“This may also be useful for baby care. Until quite recently, people thought that babies needed more brain development to be able to feel pain. Now we know that even though the baby brain is still developing, the feeling of pain seems to already be there.(这对婴儿护理也很有用。直到最近，人们还认为婴儿需要更多的大脑发育才能感受到疼痛。现在我们知道，即使婴儿的大脑还在发育，疼痛的感觉似乎已经存在了。)”可知，作者在最后两段暗示了我们对婴儿意识的认识有待提高。故选A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。 Walking in the city is very different from walking in the park. A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. ____16____ It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive (认知的) tiredness and improve reaction time straight away. ____17____ The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a l5-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene. ____18____ On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load. ____19____ In the trial, participants were asked to distinguish (区分) between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment). Measuring reaction time in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. ____20____ Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea. A. Nature influences us in many ways. B. A walk through nature does the opposite, though. C. They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking. D. After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort. E. The study includes two experiments with two different ways. F. The second experiment dug into some higher-level cognitive processes. G. The reason is that urban environments are more likely to take our attention away. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在城市里散步和在公园里散步不一样并通过研究讲述其原因。 【16题详解】 根据文中第一句“Walking in the city is very different from walking in the park.(在城市里散步和在公园里散步很不一样)”提到城里散步不同于公园散步；紧接着阐明城里散步的研究结果“A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load.(一项小型心理学研究表明，城市环境会放慢你的脚步，并可能增加你的精神负荷)”那么接下来应是对在“自然中散步”的情况进行对比。因此B项“而在大自然中散步则恰恰相反”符合题意。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据第三段第一句“The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load.(这项新研究的两个实验中的第一个集中在人们的走路方式和认知负荷上)”可知设空处需要一个概括这个实验的句子，因此E项“该研究包括两个实验，采用两种不同的方法”符合上下文语境，承接上文“ The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive (认知的) tiredness and improve reaction time straight away.(调查发现表明，自然环境可能会减少认知疲劳，并直接提高反应时间)”，the study呼应上文的the findings。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据此段对第一个实验的描述，特别是“During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a l5-metre room at their natural speed.(在这次试验中，参与者被安装了传感器和十几个运动控制摄像头，观察他们以自然速度重复走下一个15米高的房间)”，以及空后句中的“people reported that they felt more uncomfortable(人们报告说他们感觉更不舒服)”可知，参与者被要求报告他们在两种环境下不舒适度的感受，因此D “在每个实验后参与者被要求评估他们的不舒适）”符合上下文语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据第三段段首“The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people's way of walking and cognitive load.(这项新研究的两个实验中的第一个集中在人们的走路方式和认知负荷上)”对两个实验的提及，可以推断出这里讲的是第二个实验。由此可知F项“第二种实验是深入研究一些更高层次的认知过程”符合题意，“higher-level cognitive”是解题的关键字眼，和第一个实验形成递进关系，故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. (研究小组发现了支持他们观点的结果。在城市环境中，参与者辨别简单形状的速度较慢。)”是对参与者在两种环境下散步产生差异性的分析，由此推知，空处可能陈述原因。因此G项“原因是城市环境更容易让人分心。”分析了原因，符合上下文语境，下文“Our brains take longer to process. (我们的大脑需要更长的时间来处理。)”进一步阐述原因。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A 、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选。 I went on a bird-watching hike in the South American rainforest to see some rare birds.

But my daughter's repeated request made us go ahead with this first step: loaded with layers of clothing to fight the unfamiliar cold, we tasked ourselves with finding a tree for our daughter. When we finally selected our tree, we realized we didn't have a car big enough to get it home. Of course, we had not considered that. It was our first time. We had no choice but to carry it home. We had walked only a few steps when a gentleman in our neighborhood stopped his truck and offered us a ride home. Our first friend. The Christmas tree was propped up (支起) in our living area but it was too dark. We needed Christmas lights! So, the next evening, we went to a store and asked for lights. The storekeeper, who, after getting over the surprise of our seemingly silly questions, explained to us that we needed multi-colored lights. Thanking the kind soul, we left with our lights and his warmth. Our second friend. That night, we carefully wound the lights around the tree and excitedly held our breaths for the beauty of the first glow. Still, it looked like something was missing: small ornaments (装 饰) .
