Missing Pieces Project: Add Your Pieces to the Big Picture
All over England are places with stories to tell: from buildings to battlefields, some on your doorstep, others just a day trip away. Their stories are still being written, and they won't be complete until you share your side.
The Missing Pieces Project invites you to share your pictures and stories of the unique, significant and memorable places on the National Heritage List for England. The List is a register of all nationally protected his toric buildings and sites across England. Your view of a place is as unique as you are, so every snapshot and story you add is an important piece of the picture. And the more pieces of the picture we have, the better we can work together to protect what makes these places special. Whether you have a connection to a place already or you' re discovering it for the first time, your views add important new pieces to the picture.
Images: from phone snaps to scans of old photos and architects' drawings, from wide angles to close-ups
Stories: from memories of holidays, school trips and family events to information about grand openings and transformations
Photos must be ones you took yourself, from public land or rights of way, or with permission from the landowner. To add an historic image, you must have the rights to it. See the Missing Pieces Project terms and conditions for more information.
Sign in and make a difference.

In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D. C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
4. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
5. What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave.
6. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence.
C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity.
7. What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A. Learn multiple languages. B. Go abroad for language study.
C. Be a remarkable technician. D. Try to improve relevant skills.
C
You have probably heard of the Fermi Paradox (费米悖论) . Given the high probability that alien (外星人) life exists out there in the universe, why has nobody got in touch yet?
Answers to the paradox range from the optimistic to the downright frightening. It could be that we simply haven’t sent out our own traceable signatures for aliens to find us yet. Or it could be that no aliens will ever make it to the point where they are able to make contact with other species.
In Three Body Problem, Cixin Liu’s science fiction, he describes the universe as a dark forest, where each alien society is like a fearful, armed hunter cautiously moving forth. If that hunter finds other life, he is left with the safest course of action: to wipe out any other lifeforms before they can do the same to him.
Being fearful contributes to humans’ development. Our caution may save our lives when facing a genuine threat. “Take the initiative in the competition, and you may sleep more securely while getting extra resources,” says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer.
Thankfully, the Dark Forest has lots of issues that are difficult to resolve — the most obvious being that it’s extremely difficult to hide a technologically advanced world. “We’ve never given the slightest thought to turning off all the radars (雷达) and going completely silent because it might be dangerous,” says Shostak.
The forest theory also falls apart when you consider the true nature of the universe. “The distances between planets are likely to be so vast that the idea that they would feel the need to attack one another seems odd. Even if they fear each other, the expanse means that they wouldn’t likely need to compete for the near-limitless resources,” says Shostak.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Dark Forest theory is a nonstarter. Addressing the holes in the theory requires adding up the terror factor. Suppose that a technological civilization is going from star to star destroying any sign of life whenever planets with life or technology are found. We don’t see them because they’re not there. That’s the really scary thing.
8. What do we know about the Fermi Paradox?
A. It denies aliens’ existence. B. It is studied thoroughly.
C. Its answers vary considerably. D. Its answers are similar.
9. What can be inferred from Shostak’s words in Paragraph 4?
A. Fear is deadly. B. Attacks are risky.
C. Fear dominates humans’ development. D. Attacks has survival value.
10. Which factor challenges the Dark Forest theory according to Shostak?
A. Aliens may not understand human culture.
B. The vastness of space makes conflicts less likely.
C. Advanced civilizations tend to compete for survival.
D. Competition for resources could become more serious.
11. Why does the author make the assumption in the last paragraph?
A. To prove aliens are scary. B. To find holes in the theory.
C. To add to horrible atmosphere. D. To warn us of the potential threat.
D
A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators.
The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck.
“Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”
The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs.
“We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain, ” Benites- Palomino said in a statement.
The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez- Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils.
12. What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow?
A. It reached the top of food chains. B. It is thought to have complex teeth.
C. It belongs to an endangered species. D. It was attacked by two different animals.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The scene of animal fights. B. The method of the research.
C. The introduction of a movie. D. The danger of the experiments.
14. What does the importance of the study lie in?
A. Challenging the current ecosystems. B. Offering insights into ancient food webs.
C. Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D. Figuring out the link between man and nature.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains
C. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D. An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer

Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. ____17____ And your brain has more to process.

As Eagle man says, “Doing new things, or even simple changes like taking a different route to work, rearranging your office, or brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand, can be beneficial. ____20____ This is because you are forcing your brain off its usual routine of doing things in the same way every day.”

A high-pitched scream stopped Laura Douglas in her tracks. Spinning around on the narrow dirt path she thought that her cousin Cassie was in danger. Instead, Cassie was knee-deep in flowers that covered the meadow (草地) like a quilt.
“Cassie! You scared me to death! ” Laura scolded, her voice echoing through the meadow. “I am sorry, ” Cassie, absorbed in her photography, didn’t notice the thick fog rolling in, consuming the nearby mountains. “ Not again! ” Laura complained, her eyes shifting to the approaching clouds. “We gotta go! ”
Cassie's focus remained on her camera, capturing the short-lived beauty of the moment. Laura tied a red scarf around her hair, “Let’s go back to the campsite. ” The girls quickly ran down the winding path, the meadow now covered by a thick fog and a steady, cold rain. The road turned slippery, and they had to move slowly to avoid sliding down.
“It's dangerous! We need shelter now! ” Cassie screamed after a loud crack of thunder, the storm's strength increasing rapidly. Laura's keen eyes found a small cave in the rock face, partly hidden by overhanging branches. It wasn't much, but it offered a chance to escape the rain.
“Cassie, over here! ” Laura called out, her voice barely carrying over the wind.
Cassie, wet and shaking, stumbled towards the place of Laura's voice. As she approached, she could see the shelter. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than nothing.
“Smart thinking, Laura, ” Cassie said, her teeth chattering (打颤) with cold as she pressed her backpa ck close to her chest. The backpack, a tough and waterproof (防水的) model, had been a gift from her father, an experienced hiker who had insisted on its numerous pockets and sections for emergency supplies. Little did they know, his advice would prove invaluable on this day.

In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D. C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
4. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
5. What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave.
6. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence.
C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity.
7. What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A. Learn multiple languages. B. Go abroad for language study.
C. Be a remarkable technician. D. Try to improve relevant skills.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy at home to prove it.(在医学院和他作为新生儿学家的整个职业生涯中,威廉·卡索经常被要求阅读和纠正别人的工作。他们不知道他是一个拼写冠军,家里的奖杯证明了这一点)”可知,卡索用他的拼写能力来帮助别人。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook.(当范围缩小到两名竞争者时,另一个男孩拼错了“uncinate”,意思是像钩子一样弯曲)”以及划线词上文“Cashore spelled it correctly(Cashore拼写正确了)”可知,当只剩下两位参赛者时,另一个男孩拼错了uncinated,而Cashore正确拼写了这个词,随后用transept这个词获胜。故clinched意思是“获胜”。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said.(他说:“这给了我更多的自信,也让我意识到,尽可能把事情做好是非常重要的。”)”可知,拼字比赛让卡索增强了信心。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.(卡索说:“与几十年前相比,现在准备拼写比赛需要更多的注意力和技巧。这些词汇的词汇量要专业得多。与此同时,英语也从外语中引入了大量词汇,这些词汇在我上八年级的时候还不属于英语。”)”可知,根据卡索的说法,我们应该为今天的拼写比赛努力提高相关技能。故选D。
C
You have probably heard of the Fermi Paradox (费米悖论) . Given the high probability that alien (外星人) life exists out there in the universe, why has nobody got in touch yet?
Answers to the paradox range from the optimistic to the downright frightening. It could be that we simply haven’t sent out our own traceable signatures for aliens to find us yet. Or it could be that no aliens will ever make it to the point where they are able to make contact with other species.
In Three Body Problem, Cixin Liu’s science fiction, he describes the universe as a dark forest, where each alien society is like a fearful, armed hunter cautiously moving forth. If that hunter finds other life, he is left with the safest course of action: to wipe out any other lifeforms before they can do the same to him.
Being fearful contributes to humans’ development. Our caution may save our lives when facing a genuine threat. “Take the initiative in the competition, and you may sleep more securely while getting extra resources,” says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer.
Thankfully, the Dark Forest has lots of issues that are difficult to resolve — the most obvious being that it’s extremely difficult to hide a technologically advanced world. “We’ve never given the slightest thought to turning off all the radars (雷达) and going completely silent because it might be dangerous,” says Shostak.
The forest theory also falls apart when you consider the true nature of the universe. “The distances between planets are likely to be so vast that the idea that they would feel the need to attack one another seems odd. Even if they fear each other, the expanse means that they wouldn’t likely need to compete for the near-limitless resources,” says Shostak.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Dark Forest theory is a nonstarter. Addressing the holes in the theory requires adding up the terror factor. Suppose that a technological civilization is going from star to star destroying any sign of life whenever planets with life or technology are found. We don’t see them because they’re not there. That’s the really scary thing.
8. What do we know about the Fermi Paradox?
A. It denies aliens’ existence. B. It is studied thoroughly.
C. Its answers vary considerably. D. Its answers are similar.
9. What can be inferred from Shostak’s words in Paragraph 4?
A. Fear is deadly. B. Attacks are risky.
C. Fear dominates humans’ development. D. Attacks has survival value.
10. Which factor challenges the Dark Forest theory according to Shostak?
A. Aliens may not understand human culture.
B. The vastness of space makes conflicts less likely.
C. Advanced civilizations tend to compete for survival.
D. Competition for resources could become more serious.
11. Why does the author make the assumption in the last paragraph?
A. To prove aliens are scary. B. To find holes in the theory.
C. To add to horrible atmosphere. D. To warn us of the potential threat.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Being fearful contributes to humans’ development. Our caution may save our lives when facing a genuine threat. “Take the initiative in the competition, and you may sleep more securely while getting extra resources,” says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer.(恐惧有助于人类的发展。面对真正的威胁时,我们的谨慎可能会挽救我们的生命。资深天文学家塞斯·肖斯塔克说:“在竞争中采取主动,你可能会睡得更安全,同时获得额外的资源。”)”可知,攻击具有生存价值。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““The distances between planets are likely to be so vast that the idea that they would feel the need to attack one another seems odd. Even if they fear each other, the expanse means that they wouldn’t likely need to compete for the near-limitless resources,” says Shostak.(“行星之间的距离可能是如此之大,以至于它们会觉得有必要互相攻击的想法似乎很奇怪。即使它们彼此害怕,广阔的空间也意味着它们不太可能需要争夺几乎无限的资源,”肖斯塔克说)”可知,肖斯塔克认为浩瀚的太空减少了冲突的可能性,挑战了黑暗森林理论。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Dark Forest theory is a nonstarter. Addressing the holes in the theory requires adding up the terror factor. Suppose that a technological civilization is going from star to star destroying any sign of life whenever planets with life or technology are found. We don’t see them because they’re not there. That’s the really scary thing.(这并不一定意味着黑暗森林理论是不可能成功的。要弥补这个理论的漏洞,就需要把恐怖因素加起来。假设一个技术文明从一个恒星到另一个恒星,只要发现有生命或技术的行星,就摧毁任何生命的迹象。我们看不到它们,因为它们不存在。这才是真正可怕的事情)”可知,作者在最后一段做出这样的假设是为了警告我们潜在的威胁。故选D。

A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators.
The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck.
“Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”
The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs.
“We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain, ” Benites- Palomino said in a statement.
The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez- Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils.
12. What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow?
A. It reached the top of food chains. B. It is thought to have complex teeth.
C. It belongs to an endangered species. D. It was attacked by two different animals.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The scene of animal fights. B. The method of the research.
C. The introduction of a movie. D. The danger of the experiments.
14. What does the importance of the study lie in?
A. Challenging the current ecosystems. B. Offering insights into ancient food webs.
C. Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D. Figuring out the link between man and nature.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains
C. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D. An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段““Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”(“你看过蝙蝠侠电影吗?有一个场景,他和阿尔弗雷德正在射击子弹,试图找出他们试图找到的特定类型的子弹,”该研究的主要作者贝尼特斯-帕洛米诺说。“我们的研究是以完全相同的方式进行的。我们在捕食者攻击猎物的野外进行了这些实验,然后我们试图比较哪种场景最适合我们在那里发现的东西。”)”可知,第三段主要讲了研究的方法。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs.(这一发现意义重大,因为它增加了有限的多种捕食者与单一猎物相互作用的化石记录。这种相互作用在今天的生态系统中很常见,但很少有化石记录,这使得这一发现成为理解古代食物网的重要拼图)”可知,这项研究的重要性在于提供对古代食物网的见解。故选B。

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。
Our Eastern Shore house has a quarter-mile walkway over the water to a dock (甲板). The first time we walked it, there was so much to see, but yesterday, it felt like the walk to the dock took seconds. ____16____
Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. ____17____ And your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you age and encounter fewer new things, your brain processes less, and time seems to speed up. So how do we slow the passage of time?
____18____ Engage in hobbies or learning experiences that push you beyond your comfort zone. This focused engagement not only stimulates your mind but also makes your experiences more enriching. When you reflect on these activities later, the time you spent will seem more substantial and memorable.
Then apply the power of what psychologists call prospective timing. It involves predicting future outcomes and planning activities. Go on vacation in a month. ____19____ Stick a note on the fridge. Looking forward to something can make the wait feel longer and the anticipation sweeter.
As Eagle man says, “Doing new things, or even simple changes like taking a different route to work, rearranging your office, or brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand, can be beneficial. ____20____ This is because you are forcing your brain off its usual routine of doing things in the same way every day.”
Since time is your most valuable resource, why not make it seem to last longer?
A Hold that thought.
B. Put the date on your calendar.
C. Immerse yourself in challenging activities.
D. When you’re young, so many things seem new.
E. Time seems to pass more quickly as we age, and for good reason.
F. As a result, when I look back, my sense of that time is compressed.
G. These actions make it feel as though you are extending your time a bit.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了如何减缓时间流逝。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Our Eastern Shore house has a quarter-mile walkway over the water to a dock (甲板). The first time we walked it, there was so much to see, but yesterday, it felt like the walk to the dock took seconds.(我们在东海岸的房子有一条四分之一英里长的走道,穿过水面通往码头。我们第一次走的时候,有很多东西可以看,但是昨天,感觉走到码头只花了几秒钟。)”可知,第一段以具体的事例引出话题,描述了个人对时间感知的变化。第二段首句“Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. (发表在《科学报告》上的研究表明,你如何感知时间的流逝与你吸收的新感知信息的数量有关。)”提供了科学解释,说明了这种变化的背后原因。因此选项E“Time seems to pass more quickly as we age, and for good reason.( 随着年龄的增长,时间似乎过得更快,这是有原因的。)”起着承上启下的作用,最符合。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据后文“And your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you age and encounter fewer new things, your brain processes less, and time seems to speed up. (的大脑有更多的事情要处理。这会让时间流逝得更久;随着年龄的增长,接触到的新事物越来越少,你的大脑处理速度也会变慢,时间似乎也会加快。)”可知,随着年龄的增长,你接触到的新事物减少,大脑处理的信息也变少,时间似乎因此加快。以此作对比,当你年轻的时候,新事物很多,你的大脑需要处理更多的信息,这使得时间的流逝感觉更长。因此,选项D“When you’re young, so many things seem new. (当你年轻的时候,很多事情似乎都是新鲜的。)”最符合。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Engage in hobbies or learning experiences that push you beyond your comfort zone. This focused engagement not only stimulates your mind but also makes your experiences more enriching. When you reflect on these activities later, the time you spent will seem more substantial and memorable.(从事能让你走出舒适区的兴趣爱好或学习经历。这种专注的参与不仅能刺激你的思维,还能让你的经历更加丰富。当你稍后回想起这些活动时,你花费的时间会显得更加充实和难忘。)”可知,本段主要是就如何延缓时间的流逝给出的第一条建议。去从事超出舒适区的爱好或学习活动可以刺激大脑,使经历更有意义和充实。首句是总结性语言,所以选项C“Immerse yourself in challenging activities.(让自己沉浸在具有挑战性的活动中。)”就是建议大家从事有挑战性的活动。challenging和push you beyond your comfort zone前后呼应。因此,选项C最符合。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Then apply the power of what psychologists call prospective timing. It involves predicting future outcomes and planning activities. Go on vacation in a month. (然后运用心理学家所说的“前瞻性时间”的力量。它包括预测未来的结果和规划活动。一个月后去度假。)”可知,第二条建议是运用心理学中的“前瞻性时间”策略,即预测未来结果和计划活动。比如,计划一个月后的假期,并在冰箱上贴个便签。期待某件事可以让等待时间感觉更长,同时增加期待的愉悦感。后空前后句都是并列关系,列举的具体事例。因此,选项B“Put the date on your calendar. (在日历上标注日期,)”也是运用了“前瞻性时间”策略。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据前文“As Eagle man says, “Doing new things, or even simple changes like taking a different route to work, rearranging your office, or brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand, can be beneficial.( 正如Eagleman所说:“做一些新事物,或者简单的改变,比如换一条上班的路线、重新布置办公室,或者用非惯用手刷牙,都可能带来好处。”)”可知,后文陈述那这些行为带来的好处具体是什么呢?就是选项G“These actions make it feel as though you are extending your time a bit. (这些动作会让人觉得你在延长自己的时间。)” These actions就是指前一句的具体做法。紧接着解释原因,前后逻辑自洽。因此,选项G最符合。故选G。

A Memorable Visit to a Handicraft Workshop
Last Saturday, our class went on a journey through time to a local handicraft workshop, where the art of making is not just an exceptional skill, but a living, breathing tradition.
As we stepped into the workshop, the air was filled with the scent of clay and the soft hum of tools at work. Stunned by a wide array of delicate ceramics, I embarked on my first attempt at a vase under the guidance of a seasoned craftsman.

47. 读后续写
A high-pitched scream stopped Laura Douglas in her tracks. Spinning around on the narrow dirt path, she thought that her cousin Cassie was in danger. Instead, Cassie was knee-deep in flowers that covered the meadow (草地) like a quilt.
“Cassie! You scared me to death! ” Laura scolded, her voice echoing through the meadow. “I am sorry, ” Cassie, absorbed in her photography, didn’t notice the thick fog rolling in, consuming the nearby mountains. “ Not again! ” Laura complained, her eyes shifting to the approaching clouds. “We gotta go! ”
Cassie's focus remained on her camera, capturing the short-lived beauty of the moment. Laura tied a red scarf around her hair, “Let’s go back to the campsite. ” The girls quickly ran down the winding path, the meadow now covered by a thick fog and a steady, cold rain. The road turned slippery, and they had to move slowly to avoid sliding down.
“It's dangerous! We need shelter now! ” Cassie screamed after a loud crack of thunder, the storm's strength increasing rapidly. Laura's keen eyes found a small cave in the rock face, partly hidden by overhanging branches. It wasn't much, but it offered a chance to escape the rain.
“Cassie, over here! ” Laura called out, her voice barely carrying over the wind.
Cassie, wet and shaking, stumbled towards the place of Laura's voice. As she approached, she could see the shelter. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than nothing.
“Smart thinking, Laura, ” Cassie said, her teeth chattering (打颤) with cold as she pressed her backpa ck close to her chest. The backpack, a tough and waterproof (防水的) model, had been a gift from her father, an experienced hiker who had insisted on its numerous pockets and sections for emergency supplies. Little did they know, his advice would prove invaluable on this day.

【答案】One possible version:
“Check your backpack, ” Laura instructed, her voice being hopeful. “ We might have something that can help us start a fire. ” Cassie nodded, her fingers trembling as she unzipped the side pocket of her backpack. She was relieved to find a flashlight, a compact emergency blanket and a small, waterproof pouch containing waterproof matches. “Bingo! ” she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of surprise and relief. They quickly set to work, using the waterproof matches to ignite a small fire with the dry leaves and twigs Laura had collected. The survival blanket was spread out, providing a thin layer of insulation against the cold, damp ground.
As night fell, the storm finally began to die down. The girls, exhausted but determined, decided to make a move. They knew the trail would be risky in the dark, but staying in the shelter wasn't an option either. Using the flashlight, they carefully navigated the slippery path, following the markers they had set earlier. The fog had lifted, and the moon provided just enough light to see by. Hours later, they finally reached the edge of the forest. The lights of the campsite were a welcome sight. Cassie grinned, her teeth no longer chattering, “We made it back. ” Laura nodded, her eyes meeting Cassie’s. Their adventure had been terrifying, but it had also been a test ament to their bond and their survival skills. And as they sat by the fire, sipping hot chocolate, they knew they would never forget the day they had faced the storm together.
