B South Korean writer Han Kang, 53, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2024 on Oct.10 for a poetic body of work that the Nobel Committee said “confronts historical traumas(创伤) and exposes the fragility of human life”, making her the first female from Asia to receive the prize since 1901. Han started her career by making her publishing debut(首次亮相) as a poet in a South Korean magazine in 1993; her first short story collection was published in 1995 and her first novel Black Deer in 1998. She later went on to write longer prose works. “Writing novels is a way of questioning for me and I just try to complete my questions about human violence and the possibility or impossibility of refusing it through the process of my writing,” Han said in an interview. “And I will be happy if the readers could share my questions.” Most of her writing focuses on “the painful marks left by our modern history”, reported CNN. For example, The Vegetarian is about a woman who chooses to stop eating meat after having violent dreams about animal slaughter, struggling to break free from violence both in the world around her and within herself. Despite these heavy topics, her works have a unique awareness of the connections between body and soul, the living and the dead, and the writing style is poetic and experimental, according to the Swedish Academy, empowering her works to go beyond boundaries and touch the souls of people everywhere. This honor has inspired a new generation of writers, especially young people and women. It shows them that with perseverance and creativity, they can make their mark in the literary field. 24. What do we know about Han Kang from the first two paragraphs? A. She writes about human suffering and weakness. B. She is the first Asian author to win the Nobel Prize. C. Her debut work was a collection of short stories. D. Her first novel Black Deer was published in 1993. 25. What does Han Kang hope her readers to achieve from her novels? A. A search for solutions to daily struggles. B. A shared reflection on human violence. C. A deeper understanding of global issues. D. A sense of relief from modern pressure. 26 What can we infer about Han Kang's writing? A. She explores the development of modern history. B. Women's confusion is an essential topic of her works. C. She composes poetry featuring a practical style. D. People from different cultures can relate to her works. 27. Which of the following best describes Han Kang's winning the award? A. Confusing. B. Alarming. C. Encouraging. D. Amusing. C Humans are well known for looking in the mirror and responding to their reflections. Interestingly, scientific research has revealed that it is a rare trait among animals, with only a few species displaying this ability. Self-recognition is one of the most important indicators of animal intelligence. Over the years, it has been discovered in animals such as great apes, Asian elephants and fish. Now, in a fascinating series of experiments, scientists have found that wild Adelie penguins in Antarctica exhibit some signs of self-awareness. Scientists demonstrate self-recognition in animals through a “mirror test,” where animals are made to look in a mirror in order to study their reactions. Typically, a small area of the subject's body is marked with a red dye that can only be seen through the mirror. If the animal notices the mark while looking at its reflection, it is considered an indication of self-awareness. To identify this trait in wild penguins, the team conducted a series of experiments in east Antarctica, studying a population of wild Adelie penguins. In the first test, mirrors were placed in the penguins’ path, and the team observed their reactions as they approached. In a second experiment, individual penguins were directed toward a cardboard structure with mirrors at either end of the enclosure. The third test involved placing stickers(贴纸) on the mirrors. While in the final experiment, penguins were made to wear bibs(围嘴) in front of a mirror. In the first one, the penguins carefully inspected their reflections but gave no response. In the second experiment with the cardboard corrals, they moved, which suggested penguins were inspecting themselves. Surprisingly, the birds were quite agitated by the stickered mirrors, and they attempted to remove them. Lastly, the cloths did not bother the penguins. According to the researchers, they suspect that the penguins have some level of self-awareness. More observation is needed to fully understand this behavioral trait. 28. What is the main purpose of the mirror test? A. To measure the intelligence of animals. B. To study animals’ self-recognition. C. To mark animals' bodies with red dye. D. To assist animals to learn to use mirrors. 29. What do we know about the experiments with Adelie penguins? A. The penguins underwent only one experiment. B. The penguins wore bibs in the first experiment. C. The scientists used various methods to test the penguins. D. The penguins were trained before the experiments. 30. What does the underlined word “agitated” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Disturbed. B. Pleased. C. Frightened. D. Thrilled. 31. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Wild Adelie Penguins: A Surprising Display of Self-Awareness B. The Mirror Test: A Universal Method for Animal Research C. Wild Adelie Penguins: Amazing Animal Intelligence D. Penguins in Antarctica: Their Habitats and Behaviors D It's a question that has puzzled scientists for a long time: why exactly do we yawn? In a recent breakthrough, scientists have discovered the part of the brain responsible for contagious yawning. It's called the primary motor cortex(运动皮层), and controls movement in the body. When triggered, it makes us yawn. But we can't choose to yawn-it's an involuntary imitation of other people. You know how it goes: your friend yawns, you yawn. Knowing which section of the brain is involved is only part of the answer. There is still a deeper question of “why”. And we don't only yawn when others do, we sometimes yawn alone. So, let's start with the physiological theories behind yawning. As far back as 400BC, Greek physician Hippocrates assumed that yawning released harmful gases from the body, like “steam escaping from a cauldron”. His colourful theory is now, sadly, discounted. A more recent idea suggests that we yawn in order to cool down the brain. Just like a busy computer processor, our brains can overheat. Psychologist Gordon Gallup has argued that the act of yawning delivers a rush of oxygen to the brain, helping us think more clearly. What about the connection between yawning and tiredness? We certainly yawn more when we’ re feeling sleepy, but why is this? Theories that it helps give the body extra energy are largely discredited, as we don't yawn when we exercise, a time when we definitely need more get-up-and-go! Psychologist Catriona Morrison from the University of Leeds says yawning is an ancient reflex. She told the BBC that it may have started in “the days of cavemen when someone had to be on watch all the time - yawning increases cerebral (大脑的) blood flow so can improve alertness.” What about our friends' contagious yawning? Some think it comes down to empathy. While all vertebrate mammals(哺乳动物) yawn, only humans and chimpanzees “catch” yawns from others. Studies have shown we yawn more frequently when in the company of close relatives and friends. Could yawning actually help us strengthen our closest relationships? If it does, next time you yawn in company, don't feel too embarrassed. You' re just showing off your people skills. 32. What is yawning described as? A. A voluntary action. B. A learned behavior. C. A thoughtful decision. D. An unconscious copy. 33. What effect does yawning have on brain function? A. It decreases brain activities. B. It signals a need for more sleep. C. It enhances the brain's cooling process. D. It blocks the intake of oxygen. 34. What is the relationship between yawning and tiredness? A. Yawning provides extra energy during the sleepy time. B. Yawning increases alertness by improving brain blood circulation. C. Yawning happens when the body is overactive and needs to relax. D. Yawning cools down the body to reduce tiredness. 35. What does the passage imply about yawning in the last paragraph? A. Yawning may strengthen relationships due to its contagious nature. B. Yawning is observed only in humans and some other mammals. C. People yawning frequently are perceived as less empathetic. D. The frequency of yawning increases in social situations involving strangers. 第二节 (共5 小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all know just how important it is to choose your words wisely. 36 The mannerisms that you use, both consciously and unconsciously, send messages to everyone that you' re talking to. That's why we've collected our best tips to help you communicate effectively with your own body language, as well as pointers on reading other people's. 37 If you are giving a presentation or speech, be as open as you can to your audience. Remove physical barriers that will limit your ability to connect, and don't cross your arms while talking. Computers, chairs, and even a folder are all objects that create distance between a speaker and audience, preventing a sense of connection. Use your body language to convey emotions while you speak. 38 You can take a look at yourself in the mirror while you talk, or you can think about what your body is doing when you' re angry, nervous, or happy. For instance, you might smile or laugh while you talk to indicate that you' re happy. Use gestures like a thumbs up to convey a specific meaning. Emblems are gestures that have an agreed-upon meaning within your culture. Use emblems to emphasize your point, or rely on them instead of saying words. To indicate aggression, clench your fists or bare your teeth. 39 Watch for nonverbal cues that mean someone is lying. Body language can give away liars. 40 You can spot when someone is lying by looking for a lack of eye contact, changes of facial expression, or sweating. Be aware that some signs of lying—— sweating, poor or no eye contact— are also indications of nervousness or fear. A. Use hand gestures when speaking to draw others in. B. But did you know your body language is just as important? C. Avoid negative or closed body language when talking to others. D. To show peace, open up your palms and let hands hang by your sides. E. They might hide the truth in their words, but their bodies often tell another story. F. Avoiding eye contact or looking downward a lot, are both indications of defense. G. Make a conscious effort to think about what your body is doing while interacting with people. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题； 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, on a weekday afternoon, I was sitting alone in my small one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's west side when someone rang me from downstairs. 41 it was the postman, I answered the intercom. 42 , it was a(n) 43 from the TV show “Law & Order”, asking to see my apartment for potential filming.

As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vogt asked me, “Do you know about the Make-A-Wish Foundation?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, a 17-year-old girl Amy Graham has been diagnosed as having cancer. Her dying wish was to attend your lecture.” I was shocked. I felt a combination of awe and doubt. I couldn't believe it. I thought kids who were dying would want to go see Disneyland, or suchlike. Why would a kid with only a few days to live want to spend their final days listening to a motivational speaker? Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted. “Here's Amy.” Before me stood a girl wearing a bright red hat to cover her head, which was bald from all of the treatments. Her weak body was a bit bent. She said, “My two goals were to graduate from high school and to attend your lecture. My doctors didn't believe I could do either and they didn't think I'd have enough energy. I have to rely on my parents now.” Tears welling in my eyes, I was choked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my throat and smiled, “Thanks for wanting to come.” We hugged, wiped our eyes and separated. That Sunday afternoon I held the workshop that Amy and her parents attended. Over a thousand attendees were eager to learn, grow and become more fully human. I humbly asked the audience if they wanted to learn a healing process that might serve them for life. I taught them how to rub their hands together vigorously and slowly separate their hands by two inches. I instructed them to close their eyes, recall moments of happiness or inspiration in their lives and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them off with a partner, explaining that everyone had healing potential to support others simply by holding hands. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: At that point an idea struck me. Paragraph 2: With a round of applause, Amy's dad led her off the stage. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
