Daily summer departures and our knowledgeable Alaskan staff make it easy to plan everything from day trips to multi-day Alaska vacations including explorations and accommodations. Read more ﹀ Aug2024· Family My family of four rode the Glacier Discovery Train from Portage to Grandview and back. This was just under 4 hours and a perfect amount of time for us to relax & see some beautiful nature and glaciers. Parking and check in at Portage station were easy. The train was good & clean, snacks were of great variety for a train, and crew was friendly. We had a fantastic afternoon! Aug 2024· Couples We took Denali Star from Anchorage to Fairbanks and back. The seats were comfortable enough with plenty of legroom. We enjoyed using the open back platform to spot wildlife. The taste of the food was very plain. Tthere needed to be a few more options for the dinner service. The bread pudding on the breakfast menu was the best thing served all day. Aug2024· Singles Great views from train. Train was very uncomfortable. No charging ports for phones & pads! It poured out the entire time in Seward. Bad luck. I am disabled and had to stand because people that weren’t disabled took the disability seat. Aug2024· Family The view was amazing. We travelled with our10 year old. It was 8:50 pm and dinner was still unavailable. There were no food options for children. My child has food restrictions, but the conductor Vern was so rude that the whole car was shocked with his behavior toward a 10-year-old child. 1. What does the Alaska Railroad connect? A. Daily summer trips. B. Scenic train ride experiences. C. Popular destinations in Alaska. D. Multi-day Alaska vacations. 2. What made David A unhappy with the trip? A. Narrow and unclean seats. B. Bad weather. C. No facilities for the disabled. D. Impolite staff. 3. What did ChrisK20 and Tien N have in common? A. They complained about the food. B. They travelled with their children. C. They thought highly of the train trip. D. They were only satisfied with the view. B The text from my son said it all: “Dad, there’s an article you were born to write that the world is finally ready for: Bring back the handkerchief!” For me, the handkerchief never left. My mother raised me with several fixed rules. One was that a gentleman always has a clean handkerchief in his right back pocket, a piece of simple cotton, roughly 15 inches square and less than four inches when folded. I was a dutiful son, but I can recall being a ten-year-old on the school playground, feeling the hankie directly over my butt (屁股) and wondering what it was there for. Time would tell. Every night for most of my life, I remove from my trousers the items I’m going to need the next day — keys, wallet and hankie, if it’s still unused. After 60 years, my body weight feels wrong if I’m heading out of the house with an empty back pocket. I am sure this habit has sometimes shocked friends and colleagues who’ve noticed it as a little quaint, but in polite company nobody comments on somebody else’s business. That rule of behaviour, of course, did not apply to one’s children in the late20th century. When my three kids were growing up, they all let me know whenever they could that my hankie was as ridiculously old-fashioned as a top hat and a walking stick. They had their arguments. If you have to be prepared every day for a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues. Point taken — especially in the time of pandemic. But a cotton handkerchief is a lot more durable than tissues, creates no waste, and has a far wider variety of uses. Can you grab the handle of a pot that’s boiling over with a tissue? Or do you recall the cases of skinned knees and runny noses that hankie wiped? In fact, for Father’s Day last year my wife gave me several new handkerchiefs. And by now, neither of us can count the number of times her eyes have welled up at a movie, or, as happens, she’s needed to blow her nose. Yet not even my mother could have expected the hankie’s new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance. All of us have learnt how hard it is to follow advice from medical experts about not touching your face. Here is an answer. Use your hankie. In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a DIY mask that can be pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank. So, my son has it right: Bring back the handkerchief. It may actually save a few lives. 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author? A. He is born to be a writer. B. His mother expects him to become a real gentleman. C. He is an expert in making a DIY mask using handkerchiefs. D. His family have a habit of using handkerchiefs except his wife. 5. What does the underlined word “quaint” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Shallow. B. Outdated. C. Popular. D. Healthy. 6. What do the younger generation think of the handkerchiefs? A. They are cool and fashionable. B. They are not convenient to use. C. They only come in handy during special times. D. They will be taken over by tissues sooner or later. 7. What is the tone of the author in the passage? A. Serious. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Humorous. C Hollywood may have warned about the risks of building up relationships with artificial intelligence (AI), but one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not accept the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer. Tony Prescott, professor of robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful relationships with pets, and have no doubt about children playing with dolls, so we should be open to the value of AI to adults , he says. “Human loneliness is often described as à cycle in which loneliness leads to lower self-worth, which discourages further communication with people,” Prescott writes in a new book The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence. “There may be ways in which AI companionship could help break it by strengthening feelings of self-worth and helping maintain or improve social skills. If so, relationships with AIs could support people to find companionship with human and artificial others.” With more than a third of Americans reporting “serious loneliness” the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Sherry Turkle. professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire (事与愿违), and lead people to have fewer secure and satisfying human relationships. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of medicine at Duke University, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution to loneliness. But until society put social connectedness on top of the list, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” Researchers may soon know whether people turn to AI for company. Tech firms are building chatbots to be ever more responsive to emotions. This week, OpenAI asked Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of their latest chatbot, GPT-4o, to “help consumers to feel comfortable”. Johansson refused, but the chatbot came onto the market with a voice that friends and family thought was hers. 8. Why are the pets and dolls mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the meaningful relationship between Al and children.× B. To stress the limitations of human-AI relationships in daily life. C. To display the potential for AI to provide similar companionship. D. To suggest the possibility for AI to replace traditional companions. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The continued failure of human relationships with AI. B. The repeated use of AI and others for companionship. C. The process of developing human self-worth and social skills. D. The pattern of loneliness, lower self-worth and further loneliness. 10. Who expressed concern that AI companionship could weaken human connections? A. Tony Prescott. B. Sherry Turkle. C. Murali Doraiswamy. D. Scarlett Johansson. 11. Which question does the passage mainly focus on? A. Could AI contribute to increased loneliness? B. Will AI companionship replace human interaction? C. Can AI be used as an effective solution to loneliness? D. Is AI companionship better than traditional relationships? D If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) - PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPNP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 12. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 13. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 14. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are B. Experiences Make You Grow Dependable C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science D. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life isn’t fair. Some people just seem to have the ability to effortlessly charm anyone they meet. Well, it might seem like a magical power, but in fact there are a number of factors at work. ___16___The answer is: to a large degree, yes you can. But first, the bad news. People first judge each other based simply on physical appearance, With just a look of a face, people make quick judgments about each other’s likeability, trustworthiness and confidence. How should we deal with this? ___17___People view a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable. It sounds like common sense, doesn’t it? Smile and others will smile with you. What other tricks might we have? ___18___ As a result, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat(威胁) are to: raise our eyebrows quickly, lift our heads slightly, and once again, to smile. So, we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there smiling foolishly. The golden rule of friendship is that if you make people feel good about themselves, they’ re going to like you. In other words, you should not talk about yourself or your wonderful achievements. ___19___ Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection. Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to connect with others. Simple things like asking where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common. And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather. ___20___ A. There’s one simple tool: your smile. B. It can be a nice start of a conversation. C. Instead, you need to show interest in them. D. So, can you learn to develop superhuman charm? E. What good tricks can we use to become charming? F Shared interests are the key to making connections with others. G. Our brains often scan the environment for friend or enemy signals. 第三部分 语言运用 (共一节，满分15分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15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项。 Moving to a small town in the middle of the countryside isn’t the typical choice for someone who has just turned 25.

Read more ﹀ Aug2024· Family My family of four rode the Glacier Discovery Train from Portage to Grandview and back. This was just under 4 hours and a perfect amount of time for us to relax & see some beautiful nature and glaciers. Parking and check in at Portage station were easy. The train was good & clean, snacks were of great variety for a train, and crew was friendly. We had a fantastic afternoon! Aug 2024· Couples We took Denali Star from Anchorage to Fairbanks and back. The seats were comfortable enough with plenty of legroom. We enjoyed using the open back platform to spot wildlife. The taste of the food was very plain. Tthere needed to be a few more options for the dinner service. The bread pudding on the breakfast menu was the best thing served all day. Aug2024· Singles Great views from train. Train was very uncomfortable. No charging ports for phones & pads! It poured out the entire time in Seward. Bad luck. I am disabled and had to stand because people that weren’t disabled took the disability seat. Aug2024· Family The view was amazing. We travelled with our10 year old. It was 8:50 pm and dinner was still unavailable. There were no food options for children.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，是几个游客对沿阿拉斯加铁路的旅游的评论。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Completed in 1923, the widely-known Alaska Railroad connects many of Alaska’s most popular destinations: Anchorage, Talkeetna, Denali National Park, Fairbanks, Girdwood, Seward, Whittier and the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop.(众所周知的阿拉斯加铁路于1923年完工，连接了阿拉斯加许多最受欢迎的目的地：Anchorage、Talkeetna、Denali国家公园、Fairbanks、Girdwood、Seward、Whittier和Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop)”可知，Alaska Railroad连接阿拉斯加的热门目的地。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据David A的表格中“It poured out the entire time in Seward. Bad luck.(在Seward时，雨一直下个不停。真倒霉)”可知，让David A对这次旅行不满意的是坏天气。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据ChrisK20部分中“The taste of the food was very plain.(这食物的味道很清淡)”和Tien N部分的“There were no food options for children.(孩子们没有食物选择)”可知，ChrisK20和Tien N的共同之处是都抱怨食物不好。故选A。 B The text from my son said it all: “Dad, there’s an article you were born to write that the world is finally ready for: Bring back the handkerchief!” For me, the handkerchief never left. My mother raised me with several fixed rules. One was that a gentleman always has a clean handkerchief in his right back pocket, a piece of simple cotton, roughly 15 inches square and less than four inches when folded. I was a dutiful son, but I can recall being a ten-year-old on the school playground, feeling the hankie directly over my butt (屁股) and wondering what it was there for. Time would tell. Every night for most of my life, I remove from my trousers the items I’m going to need the next day — keys, wallet and hankie, if it’s still unused. After 60 years, my body weight feels wrong if I’m heading out of the house with an empty back pocket. I am sure this habit has sometimes shocked friends and colleagues who’ve noticed it as a little quaint, but in polite company nobody comments on somebody else’s business. That rule of behaviour, of course, did not apply to one’s children in the late20th century. When my three kids were growing up, they all let me know whenever they could that my hankie was as ridiculously old-fashioned as a top hat and a walking stick. They had their arguments. If you have to be prepared every day for a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues. Point taken — especially in the time of pandemic. But a cotton handkerchief is a lot more durable than tissues creates no waste, and has a far wider variety of uses. Can you grab the handle of a pot that’s boiling over with a tissue? Or do you recall the cases of skinned knees and runny noses that hankie wiped? In fact, for Father’s Day last year my wife gave me several new handkerchiefs. And by now, neither of us can count the number of times her eyes have welled up at a movie, or, as happens, she’s needed to blow her nose. Yet not even my mother could have expected the hankie’s new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance. All of us have learnt how hard it is to follow advice from medical experts about not touching your face. Here is an answer. Use your hankie. In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a DIY mask that can be pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank. So, my son has it right: Bring back the handkerchief. It may actually save a few lives. 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author? A. He is born to be a writer. B. His mother expects him to become a real gentleman. C. He is an expert in making a DIY mask using handkerchiefs. D. His family have a habit of using handkerchiefs except his wife. 5. What does the underlined word “quaint” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Shallow. B. Outdated. C. Popular. D. Healthy. 6. What do the younger generation think of the handkerchiefs? A. They are cool and fashionable. B. They are not convenient to use. C. They only come in handy during special times. D. They will be taken over by tissues sooner or later. 7. What is the tone of the author in the passage? A. Serious. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Humorous. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过个人经历和观点讨论了手帕的价值和实用性。作者回忆了自己从小被母亲教导要随身携带干净的手帕，并分享了自己多年来一直保持这个习惯的经历。尽管在20世纪末，孩子们认为使用手帕过时，但在疫情期间，手帕的多功能性和耐用性再次显现出来，使其成为公共卫生的重要工具。文章最后呼吁人们重新认识和使用手帕，强调其在现代社会中的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第二段“My mother raised me with several fixed rules. One was that a gentleman always has a clean handkerchief in his right back pocket.(我母亲用几条固定的规矩养育我。其中一条就是绅士总是在他右边的后口袋里放一块干净的手帕)” 可知，母亲培养作者时有着让他成为绅士的相关要求，期望他成为一位真正的绅士，故选B项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“When my three kids were growing up, they all let me know whenever they could that my hankie was as ridiculously old-fashioned as a top hat and a walking stick. They had their arguments.(在我的三个孩子成长过程中，他们一有机会就告诉我，我的手帕就像大礼帽和手杖一样荒谬地过时了。他们有自己的理由)”可知，孩子们认为作者的手帕就像大礼帽和手杖一样荒谬、过时，可推理出“quaint”意思接近“过时的”，即outdated，故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When my three kids were growing up, they all let me know whenever they could that my hankie was as ridiculously old-fashioned as a top hat and a walking stick. They had their arguments. If you have to be prepared every day for a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues.(在我的三个孩子成长过程中，他们一有机会就告诉我，我的手帕就像大礼帽和手杖一样荒谬地过时了。他们有自己的理由。如果你每天都得为感冒做准备，为什么不选择一小包纸巾呢)” 可知，年轻一代觉得手帕是过时的，不如纸巾方便，可推理出年轻一代认为手帕迟早会被纸巾取代，故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I can recall being a ten-year-old on the school playground, feeling the hankie directly over my butt (屁股) and wondering what it was there for.(我还记得十岁时在学校操场，感觉到手帕就在我屁股上，还纳闷它在那儿是干啥用的)”把手帕坐在屁股底下还纳闷它在那里是干什么的，以及最后一段“like a robber entering a bank (像强盗进银行一样)”把手帕当自制口罩形容成像强盗进银行一样，由此可推理出作者整体的语气是幽默的，故选D项。 C Hollywood may have warned about the risks of building up relationships with artificial intelligence (AI), but one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not accept the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer. Tony Prescott, professor of robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful relationships with pets, and have no doubt about children playing with dolls, so we should be open to the value of AI to adults , he says. “Human loneliness is often described as à cycle in which loneliness leads to lower self-worth, which discourages further communication with people,” Prescott writes in a new book The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence. “There may be ways in which AI companionship could help break it by strengthening feelings of self-worth and helping maintain or improve social skills. If so, relationships with AIs could support people to find companionship with human and artificial others.” With more than a third of Americans reporting “serious loneliness”, the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Sherry Turkle. professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire (事与愿违), and lead people to have fewer secure and satisfying human relationships. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of medicine at Duke University, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution to loneliness. But until society put social connectedness on top of the list, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” Researchers may soon know whether people turn to AI for company. Tech firms are building chatbots to be ever more responsive to emotions. This week, OpenAI asked Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of their latest chatbot, GPT-4o, to “help consumers to feel comfortable”. Johansson refused, but the chatbot came onto the market with a voice that friends and family thought was hers. 8. Why are the pets and dolls mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the meaningful relationship between Al and children.× B. To stress the limitations of human-AI relationships in daily life. C. To display the potential for AI to provide similar companionship. D. To suggest the possibility for AI to replace traditional companions. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The continued failure of human relationships with AI. B. The repeated use of AI and others for companionship. C. The process of developing human self-worth and social skills. D. The pattern of loneliness, lower self-worth and further loneliness. 10. Who expressed concern that AI companionship could weaken human connections? A. Tony Prescott. B. Sherry Turkle. C. Murali Doraiswamy. D. Scarlett Johansson. 11. Which question does the passage mainly focus on? A. Could AI contribute to increased loneliness? B. Will AI companionship replace human interaction? C. Can AI be used as an effective solution to loneliness? D. Is AI companionship better than traditional relationships? 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了人工智能伴侣是否能成为解决人类孤独感的有效方案，以及这一观点引发的不同看法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Tony Prescott, professor of robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful relationships with pets, and have no doubt about children playing with dolls, so we should be open to the value of AI to adults , he says.(University of Sheffield认知机器人教授Tony Prescott认为，人工智能在防止人类孤独感方面发挥着重要作用。他说，就像我们与宠物建立起有意义的纽带，对孩子玩洋娃娃毫无保留一样，我们也应该对人工智能对成年人的价值持开放态度)”可知，第二段中提到的宠物和娃娃有助于说明人工智能提供类似陪伴的潜力。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Human loneliness is often described as à cycle in which loneliness leads to lower self-worth, which discourages further communication with people(人类孤独的特征通常是螺旋式下降，在这种情况下，孤独会导致自尊降低，从而阻碍与他人的进一步互动)”可知，孤独感会导致一个向下的螺旋，即孤立导致自尊降低，进而阻碍与他人的进一步互动，因此it指的是孤独，低自尊和进一步孤独的这种模式，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Sherry Turkle. professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire (事与愿违), and lead people to have fewer secure and satisfying human relationships.(麻省理工学院社会科学教授Sherry Turkle警告说，与机器建立关系可能会适得其反，导致人们的人际关系更缺少安全感和令人满意度)”可知，Sherry Turkle表达了对AI陪伴可能降低人类关系质量的担忧。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Tony Prescott, professor of robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness.(University of Sheffield认知机器人教授Tony Prescott认为，人工智能在防止人类孤独感方面发挥着重要作用)”和第四段“Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Sherry Turkle. professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire (事与愿违), and lead people to have fewer secure and satisfying human relationships.(人工智能是否可以或应该成为解决方案的一部分，并不是一个新的争论。麻省理工学院（MIT）社会科学教授Sherry Turkle警告说，与机器建立关系可能会适得其反，导致人们的人际关系更少安全和令人满意度)”可知，本文主要探讨了人工智能伴侣是否能成为解决人类孤独感的有效方案，以及这一观点引发的不同看法，因此这篇文章主要探讨的是人工智能能否有效解决孤独感。故选C。 D If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) - PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPNP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 12. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 13. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 14. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are B. Experiences Make You Grow Dependable C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science D. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，我们信任陌生人可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征，它可能根植于我们的DNA。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. (另一种观点认为，这是受到一个人对社会环境的持续评估的影响。我们可以很容易地想象，对于“你认为大多数人都是可以信任的吗？”这取决于你前一天是否被抢劫过，或者你丢失的钱包是否被找回来了.)”可知，人们的社会经历会影响他们对他人的信任程度。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. (最近的一项研究发现，我们信任陌生人的能力可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能根植于我们的DNA。)”和第四段“In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) - PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPNP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. (在他们最近的一项研究中，涉及33882名丹麦献血者，他们发现了一个单一的基因 - PLPP4，与信任他人的性格密切相关，PLPNP4基因解释了研究人群中6%的社会信任差异。)”可推断，近来的一个研究的重点是信任与基因的关系。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. (这一点很重要，因为事实证明，与多疑的人相比，信任的人实际上可能活得更长、更健康。)”及第五段“If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. (如果当我们遇到新朋友时，我们的战斗或逃跑系统不那么强大，那么信任他人可能会对健康有巨大的好处。事实上，如果信任他人能起到对抗压力的作用，它可能会降低患心血管疾病的风险。)”可知，信任别人会使人健康、降低心血管疾病的风险。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. (最近的一项研究发现，我们信任陌生人的能力可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能根植于我们的DNA。)”可知，本文主要介绍研究发现，我们信任陌生人可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征，它可能根植于我们的DNA。A项“基因影响你的信任程度。”适合作本文标题。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life isn’t fair.

So, we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there smiling foolishly. The golden rule of friendship is that if you make people feel good about themselves, they’ re going to like you. In other words, you should not talk about yourself or your wonderful achievements. ___19___ Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection. Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to connect with others. Simple things like asking where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common. And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather. ___20___ A. There’s one simple tool: your smile. B. It can be a nice start of a conversation. C. Instead, you need to show interest in them. D. So, can you learn to develop superhuman charm? E. What good tricks can we use to become charming? F.
