A 【解析】 【原文】M: The summer vacation in New Delhi begins in May 1st every year. Much before it began we started planning how to spend it. I suggested that we should go to Shillong. But my sister insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month’s stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shillong and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi Railway Station four days after the vacation began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening. The next day, early in the morning we drove to Shillong. We stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest. We left Shillong on June 4th. On our way to Darjeeling, we traveled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached Darjeeling at about noon. We took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One day we went to the Tiger Hills by taxi at 4 a.m. to enjoy the famous sunrise. It was a wonderful sight which we had never seen before. And that was the last day of our vacation. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15 小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A One destination is always on trend: the beach, People ready to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life are looking to discover tranquility (宁静) along a picturesque beach.

Hawaii”部分中的““Baby Beach is an ideal beach for families with toddlers,” Betts said. “Since the waters are so calm and shallow, it provides the perfect opportunity for children to splash around in the ocean.”(Betts说：“Baby Beach是有小孩的家庭的理想海滩。由于海水如此平静和浅，它为孩子们在海洋里戏水提供了绝佳的机会。”)”可知，Baby Beach最适合带孩子的家庭。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“One destination is always on trend: the beach, People ready to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life are looking to discover tranquility (宁静) along a picturesque beach. Check out the list below to discover beaches you like.(有一个目的地总是在流行，那就是海滩。人们准备逃离日常生活的喧嚣，在风景如画的海滩上寻找宁静。看看下面的列表，发现你喜欢的海滩)”以及文章内容可知，这四处海滩都非常宁静，适合准备逃离日常生活的喧嚣的人们。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了四个美丽的海滩，描述了它们的特点和魅力，包括环境、海水、沙滩以及可以进行的活动。这种描述方式更符合旅游手册的风格，旨在吸引读者去探索和体验这些旅游胜地。故选B。 B As a young person, I never thought of myself as a sports enthusiast because I was quite clumsy. But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring (翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knee two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy (治疗，疗法) wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away (动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3-4 months of practising hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds (减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms. Also, practising yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practising with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! 24. What once depressed the author terribly according to Paragraph 1? A. Her serious physical disease. B. Her negative thoughts. C. Her failure to find her car. D. Her inability to walk. 25. What difficulty did the author meet while attending each yoga class? A. The temperature was difficult to control in yoga class. B. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. C. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga. D. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought. 26. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4? A. She did better than her classmates at school. B. Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes. C. She has developed many healthy eating habits. D. Her physical state has acquired a new outlook. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes. B. To present the benefits of practising yoga regularly. C. To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga. D. To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者膝盖受伤导致行动困难，报名瑜伽课程后，整体健康状况变得更好的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knee two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days.(遗憾的是，这种情况在我两年前膝盖受伤后改变了。我不得不在床上躺了两个星期，甚至走一小段路对我来说都很困难。我非常难过，连续几天每次走到车旁时都忍不住哭了)”可知，作者不能走路让她极度沮丧。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. (由于每个班级的温度都被加热到105°F，每次我踏入瑜伽工作室时，都会感到一股负面思绪如大海浪般涌上心头。这些思绪在刚开始练习时非常强烈，以至于我有几次走出了教室)”可知，作者在上瑜伽课时深受消极思想的影响。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“After 3-4 months of practising hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds (减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.(在练习热瑜伽3到4个月后，我的手臂和腿部开始有了线条。与开始练习瑜伽之前相比，我醒来时感到精力充沛得多，并且我逐渐开始减轻体重。瑜伽真的让我感觉像是喝了一杯能量饮料，给了我那一股爆发力，帮助我的膝盖恢复，改善了我的整体健康)”可知，从第4段我们可以了解到作者的身体状况有了新的面貌。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When therapy (治疗，疗法) wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. (当治疗对我来说效果不佳时，我报名参加了一个专门为女孩开设的热瑜伽课程，具体来说是比克拉姆瑜伽)”和最后一段中“Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life!(总体来说，这种瑜伽练习帮助我认识到自己是生命中更大图景的一部分！)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者上瑜伽课并从中获益的经历，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是与读者分享她上瑜伽课的经历。故选A项。 C If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds? Wouldn’t that be cool? Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing. The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When the individual wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉) signals in that person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words. The device is fairly accurate. Inal0-person trial, AlterEgo had a92percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines human and machine in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thoughts?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said. So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can change the way humans interact with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their digital device; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without interrupting the conversation. The device can also help people communicate in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor in the airport. 28. Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1? A. To ask readers for their opinions. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To inspire readers’ imagination. D. To show the author’s curiosity. 29. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The questions. B. The computers. C. The signals. D. The words. 30. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication? A. People can apply AI assistants skillfully. B. People will make good mind-readers. C. People no longer need mobile phones. D. People can communicate more smoothly. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text’? A. AlterEgo Frees People of Thinking. B. Wearable Device Controls Computer. C. Silent Reader of Your Mind Comes True. D. Communication Is Easy with AI Assistants. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了麻省理工学院的研究人员开发出了一种可穿戴设备AlterEgo，它能够真实地表达一个人的想法，并允许他们与计算机对话，而不会被其他人听到；同时介绍了AlterEgo工作原理和对人类交流的影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds? Wouldn’t that be cool? (如果你是超级英雄，你的超能力是什么？你想飞翔还是隐身？或者，也许，你更愿意拥有读心的能力？那不是很酷吗？)”和第二段“Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing. (读心术并不像你想象的那么牵强。事实上，麻省理工学院的研究人员已经开发出一种可穿戴设备，它可以真实地表达一个人的想法，并允许他们在没有其他人听到的情况下与计算机交谈)”可知，第一段内容导入文章关于“读心设备”的主题，引出下文。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中的“When the individual wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉) signals in that person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words. (当佩戴该设备的人想到一个单词或短语但不说时，AlterEgo会在该人的下巴和脸上拾取神经肌肉信号。AlterEgo将这些信号发送到计算机，计算机通过编程将them与特定的单词相关联)”可知，AlterEgo通过拾取神经肌肉信号并将其发送到计算机，计算机通过编程将这些信号与特定的单词相关联，所以划线词them指代的是上文“信号（The signals）”。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“AlterEgo can change the way humans interact with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their digital device; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without interrupting the conversation. The device can also help people communicate in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor in the airport. (AlterEgo可以改变人类与计算机交互的方式，使我们能够在无人知晓的情况下与人工智能助手，如亚马逊的Alexa、谷歌的助手或苹果的Siri，进行无声连接。如果一个人正在交谈，想查找一些信息，他们不必拿出数字设备；相反，他们可以只考虑这个问题。AlterEgo将在不中断对话的情况下回答。该设备还可以帮助人们在嘈杂的环境中进行交流，例如在机场的工厂地板上)”可知，AlterEgo可以使人们不需要说话就可以彼此交流，还帮助人们在嘈杂的环境中进行交流，可得出AlterEgo会对人们的交流产生的影响是使人们可以更顺畅地交流。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。由第二段中的“In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing. (事实上，麻省理工学院的研究人员已经开发出一种可穿戴设备，它可以真实地表达一个人的想法，并允许他们在没有其他人听到的情况下与计算机交谈)”和下文关于“读心设备AlterEgo的工作原理和对人类交流的影响”介绍可知，文章主要介绍了读心设备AlterEgo使人们不需要说话就可以彼此交流，真实地表达一个人的想法，C项“无声的读心术成真了”符合文意。故选C项。 D Why can’t you remember being a baby? Will that trip to Dreamworld be wasted on your toddler (学步的幼儿)? Scientists explain how the brain changes from infancy (婴儿期) through to early childhood, and what this means for your child’s memories. While some people can remember memories from as early as age two, as adults most of us rarely remember things that happen to us before the age of three, due to a phenomenon called “infantile amnesia (婴儿健忘症)”. Generally, we tend to have vague (模糊的) memories of events that occur between the ages of three and seven. So why is it that we can’t remember being a baby, or a toddler? The answer lies in the way that our brain’s ability to store memories changes as we grow. At birth, a baby’s brain is only a quarter of its adult size, growing to three-quarters the size of an adult brain by age two. This increase correlates with a growth in the number of brain cells—called neurons (神经元)一and the connections between these cells. A part of the brain that is important in forming memories is the hippocampus (海马体), says Dr Dhanisha Jhaveri, a researcher at the Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland. “In the hippocampus, new neurons are constantly being created. In adulthood, new cells are still being produced, but the rate of production in the hippocampus slows down,” says Dr Jhaveri. Neuroscientists believe that the rapid rate at which brain cells are being produced in childhood could be the cause of infantile amnesia. Because so many new neurons are being produced and form connections with each other in memory circuits (记忆电路), they might disturb existing networks of memories that have already formed. But it turns out that a child’s ability to remember things for long periods of time improves gradually throughout childhood. For example, in studies in which young kids were taught to imitate an action, six-month-olds could remember what to do for 24 (but not 48) hours, while nine-month-olds could remember what to do one month (but not three months) later. Despite this memory loss, childhood experiences have been found to influence adult behaviour years later, which suggests that traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain that isn’t easy to access. So while your kids might not recall their major milestones or be too young to remember a trip to Disneyland, positive experiences as toddlers or in infancy may continue to affect their behaviour long after they’ve forgotten them. 32. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Our brain’s ability to store memories remains unchanged as we grow. B. The size of the child’s brain by age two is twice the size at birth. C. The growth in the number of neurons will influence the size of the child’s brain. D. Neurons have nothing to do with a person’s memory. 33. What is the cause of infantile amnesia according to the neuroscientists? A. The rapid rate of brain cells being produced. B. The existing networks of memories. C. The way of our brain storing memories. D. The memory circuits of our brain. 34. What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A. Childhood experiences will influence adult behaviour years later. B. Traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain. C. A child’s ability to remember things improves gradually over time. D. The younger a baby is, the better its memory is. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the influence of childhood experiences on adult behaviour years later? A. Subjective. B. Objective. C. Pessimistic. D. Uncaring. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了我们不记得自己婴儿时期的原因、大脑从婴儿期到儿童早期的变化，以及这对孩子的记忆意味着什么。 【详解】1. 推理判断题。由第三段的最后一句“At birth, a baby’s brain is only a quarter of its adult size, growing to three-quarters the size of an adult brain by age two. This increase correlates with a growth in the number of brain cells—called neurons (神经元)一and the connections between these cells.(出生时，婴儿的大脑只有成人的四分之一，到两岁时，大脑的大小会增长到成人的四分之三。这种增加与脑细胞(称为神经元)数量的增长以及这些细胞之间的连接有关。)”可知，神经元数量的增长会影响孩子大脑的大小。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。由第五段的第一句“Neuroscientists believe that the rapid rate at which brain cells are being produced in childhood could be the cause of infantile amnesia.(神经科学家认为，儿童时期脑细胞的快速生成可能是导致婴儿健忘症的原因。)”可知，神经科学家认为,儿童时期脑细胞的快速产生可能是婴儿健忘症的原因。故选A。 3. 主旨大意题。由第六段第一句“But it turns out that a child’s ability to remember things for long periods of time improves gradually throughout childhood.(但事实证明，孩子长时间记忆事物的能力在整个童年时期逐渐提高。)”可知，一个孩子的长时间记忆事物的能力会在整个童年时期逐渐提高。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。由第七段“Despite this memory loss, childhood experiences have been found to influence adult behaviour years later, which suggests that traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain that isn’t easy to access.(尽管记忆力会丧失，但研究发现，童年经历会影响多年后成人的行为，这表明，这些记忆的痕迹可能储存在大脑中不容易获取的某个地方。)”、第八段“So while your kids might not recall their major milestones or be too young to remember a trip to Disneyland, positive experiences as toddlers or in infancy may continue to affect their behaviour long after they’ve forgotten them.(因此，虽然你的孩子可能不记得他们的重大里程碑，或者太小而不记得去迪斯尼乐园旅行，但幼儿或婴儿时期的积极经历可能会在他们遗忘很久之后继续影响他们的行为。)”可知，研究发现，童年经历会影响成年人的行为，蹒跚学步的孩子或婴儿时期的积极经历可能会在他们遗忘之后继续影响他们的行为。因此作者对其影响的态度是客观的。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。 Learn to Be Responsible How does it feel when you admit that you have done something wrong? Taking responsibility for your actions not only feels good, it teaches you to trust yourself and strengthens friendships. What does being responsible mean? It can be easy to blame(责怪) others or make excuses for mistakes, but being responsible means accepting that you are wrong. ___36___ You could say the bus was late, but being responsible means apologizing and accepting that it was your responsibility to get there on time. However, being responsible doesn’t mean taking the blame for things you can’t change. You’re only responsible for things that you can control. ___37___ According to research, understanding you have control over your own actions makes you feel more positive and hopeful about the future. ___38___ For example, I remember a time I got the sofa dirty. I was going to lie about it because if my mum saw it, she would get angry. But after I told her the truth, I wasn’t in as much trouble as I thought. Instead, mom praised me for my honesty. Being responsible helps you to gain people’s trust. How can you be responsible? ___39___ One way of doing this is by drawing a circle of control: what is in this circle of control and what is out of this circle. As well as being responsible for what you can change, try accepting the things you can’t. We can’t always control what happens to us. ___40___ We can still choose our attitude. And most of the time, attitude decides if you are truly a responsible person. A. What makes you responsible? B. How is being responsible good for you? C. But we can control how we respond to it. D. Start by understanding what is in and out of your control. E. Taking responsibility can also make others trust you more. F. Imagine agreeing to meet a friend and then turning up late. G. This can increase your happiness and help you achieve more. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了负责任的意义、好处和做法，鼓励读者学会负责任。 【36题详解】 后文“You could say the bus was late, but being responsible means apologizing and accepting that it was your responsibility to get there on time.(你可以说公交车晚点了，但负责任意味着道歉并接受准时到达是你的责任)”讲述了面对迟到时负责任的做法，所以空处应是举一个迟到的例子，F项“想象一下，同意见一个朋友，然后却迟到了。”符合题意，选项中的late照应后文。故选F。 【37题详解】 结合上下文可知，空处应是本段的主旨句，且应用问句形式。根据下文中的“According to research, understanding you have control over your own actions makes you feel more positive and hopeful about the future.(根据研究，了解自己可以控制自己的行为会让你对未来感到更加积极和充满希望)”可知，本段应讲述负责任带来的好处，B项“负责任对你有什么好处？”符合题意。故选B。 【38题详解】 前文“According to research, understanding you have control over your own actions makes you feel more positive and hopeful about the future.(根据研究，了解自己可以控制自己的行为会让你对未来感到更加积极和充满希望)”讲述了负责任可以让你对未来感到积极和充满希望，再结合接下来的例子和后文中的总结“Being responsible helps you to gain people’s trust.(负责任有助于你赢得人们的信任)”可知，空处应讲述的是负责任的另一个好处是可以让人们更加信任你，E项“承担责任也能让别人更加信任你。”符合题意。故选E。 【39题详解】 后文“One way of doing this is by drawing a circle of control: what is in this circle of control and what is out of this circle.(一种方法是画一个控制圈：这个控制圈里有什么，这个控制圈外有什么)”讲述了通过画控制圈来把自己能控制的东西和无法控制的东西归类，所以空处应是讲了解自己能控制什么和不能控制什么，D项“首先要了解什么是你能控制的，什么是你不能控制的。”符合题意，选项中的 what is in and out of your control与后文中的what is in this circle of control and what is out of this circle相照应。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据前文“We can’t always control what happens to us.(我们不能总是控制发生在我们身上的事情)”和后文“We can still choose our attitude.(我们仍然可以选择自己的态度)”可知，空处应与前文形成转折，与下文相衔接，C项“但我们可以控制我们如何应对。”符合题意，But表明前后句之间是转折关系。故选C。 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项。 As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family.

Check out the list below to discover beaches you like. Baby Beach in Maui. Hawaii It scores the top spot for the calmest beach in the world with its calm waters. “Baby Beach is an ideal beach for families with toddlers,” Betts said. “Since the waters are so calm and shallow, it provides the perfect opportunity for children to splash around in the ocean.” Browne’s Beach in Bridgetown, Barbados This famous half-mile expanse of white sand draws crowds with its calm, crystal-clear waters. It is celebrated for its natural beauty and historical significance, boasting landmarks like the Barbados Yacht Club and the Barbados Cruising Club. Mauna Kea Beach on Hawaii Island, Hawaii Fronting the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on Hawaii Island, Mauna Kea Beach is ideal for visitors to peacefully enjoy the Pacific Ocean. With its calm and clear conditions, it’s an ideal destination for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Playa La Entrega in Oaxaca, Mexico Situated along the Oaxacan coastline in a protected bay Playa La Entrega offers a peaceful mix of natural beauty and adventure. Translating to “the delivery” in English, the beach was once a delivery point for goods during colonial times. It’s a popular place to snorkel along coral reefs filled with marine life. Visitors can rent snorkel gear or buy fresh fruit from local vendors. 21. Which beach best suits families with children? A. Baby Beach. B. Browne’s Beach. C. Mauna Kea Beach. D. Playa La Entrega. 22. What do these beaches have in common? A. They all have a long history. B. They are all famous for their quietness. C. They are fantastic destinations for surfers. D. They are used for delivering goods. 23. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A travel brochure. C. A geography textbook. D. A personal journal. B As a young person, I never thought of myself as a sports enthusiast because I was quite clumsy. But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring (翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knee two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy (治疗，疗法) wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away (动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3-4 months of practising hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds (减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms. Also, practising yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practising with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! 24. What once depressed the author terribly according to Paragraph 1? A. Her serious physical disease. B. Her negative thoughts. C. Her failure to find her car. D. Her inability to walk. 25. What difficulty did the author meet while attending each yoga class? A. The temperature was difficult to control in yoga class. B. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. C. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga. D. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought. 26. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4? A. She did better than her classmates at school. B. Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes. C. She has developed many healthy eating habits. D. Her physical state has acquired a new outlook. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes. B. To present the benefits of practising yoga regularly. C. To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga. D. To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses. C If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds? Wouldn’t that be cool? Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing. The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When the individual wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉) signals in that person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words. The device is fairly accurate. Inal0-person trial, AlterEgo had a92percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines human and machine in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thoughts?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said. So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can change the way humans interact with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their digital device; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without interrupting the conversation. The device can also help people communicate in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor in the airport. 28. Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1? A. To ask readers for their opinions. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To inspire readers’ imagination. D. To show the author’s curiosity. 29. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The questions. B. The computers. C. The signals. D. The words. 30. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication? A. People can apply AI assistants skillfully. B. People will make good mind-readers. C. People no longer need mobile phones. D. People can communicate more smoothly. 31 Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text’? A. AlterEgo Frees People of Thinking. B. Wearable Device Controls Computer. C. Silent Reader of Your Mind Comes True. D. Communication Is Easy with AI Assistants. D Why can’t you remember being a baby? Will that trip to Dreamworld be wasted on your toddler (学步的幼儿)? Scientists explain how the brain changes from infancy (婴儿期) through to early childhood, and what this means for your child’s memories. While some people can remember memories from as early as age two, as adults most of us rarely remember things that happen to us before the age of three, due to a phenomenon called “infantile amnesia (婴儿健忘症)”. Generally, we tend to have vague (模糊的) memories of events that occur between the ages of three and seven. So why is it that we can’t remember being a baby, or a toddler? The answer lies in the way that our brain’s ability to store memories changes as we grow. At birth, a baby’s brain is only a quarter of its adult size, growing to three-quarters the size of an adult brain by age two. This increase correlates with a growth in the number of brain cells—called neurons (神经元)一and the connections between these cells. A part of the brain that is important in forming memories is the hippocampus (海马体), says Dr Dhanisha Jhaveri, a researcher at the Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland. “In the hippocampus, new neurons are constantly being created. In adulthood, new cells are still being produced, but the rate of production in the hippocampus slows down,” says Dr Jhaveri. Neuroscientists believe that the rapid rate at which brain cells are being produced in childhood could be the cause of infantile amnesia. Because so many new neurons are being produced and form connections with each other in memory circuits (记忆电路), they might disturb existing networks of memories that have already formed. But it turns out that a child’s ability to remember things for long periods of time improves gradually throughout childhood. For example, in studies in which young kids were taught to imitate an action, six-month-olds could remember what to do for 24 (but not 48) hours, while nine-month-olds could remember what to do one month (but not three months) later. Despite this memory loss, childhood experiences have been found to influence adult behaviour years later, which suggests that traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain that isn’t easy to access. So while your kids might not recall their major milestones or be too young to remember a trip to Disneyland, positive experiences as toddlers or in infancy may continue to affect their behaviour long after they’ve forgotten them. 32. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Our brain’s ability to store memories remains unchanged as we grow. B. The size of the child’s brain by age two is twice the size at birth. C. The growth in the number of neurons will influence the size of the child’s brain. D. Neurons have nothing to do with a person’s memory. 33. What is the cause of infantile amnesia according to the neuroscientists? A. The rapid rate of brain cells being produced. B. The existing networks of memories. C. The way of our brain storing memories. D. The memory circuits of our brain. 34. What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A. Childhood experiences will influence adult behaviour years later. B. Traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain. C. A child’s ability to remember things improves gradually over time. D. The younger a baby is, the better its memory is. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the influence of childhood experiences on adult behaviour years later? A. Subjective. B. Objective. C. Pessimistic. D. Uncaring. 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。 Learn to Be Responsible How does it feel when you admit that you have done something wrong? Taking responsibility for your actions not only feels good, it teaches you to trust yourself and strengthens friendships. What does being responsible mean? It can be easy to blame(责怪) others or make excuses for mistakes, but being responsible means accepting that you are wrong. ___36___ You could say the bus was late, but being responsible means apologizing and accepting that it was your responsibility to get there on time. However, being responsible doesn’t mean taking the blame for things you can’t change. You’re only responsible for things that you can control. ___37___ According to research, understanding you have control over your own actions makes you feel more positive and hopeful about the future. ___38___ For example, I remember a time I got the sofa dirty. I was going to lie about it because if my mum saw it, she would get angry. But after I told her the truth, I wasn’t in as much trouble as I thought. Instead, mom praised me for my honesty. Being responsible helps you to gain people’s trust. How can you be responsible? ___39___ One way of doing this is by drawing a circle of control: what is in this circle of control and what is out of this circle. As well as being responsible for what you can change, try accepting the things you can’t. We can’t always control what happens to us. ___40___ We can still choose our attitude. And most of the time, attitude decides if you are truly a responsible person. A. What makes you responsible? B. How is being responsible good for you? C. But we can control how we respond to it. D. Start by understanding what is in and out of your control. E Taking responsibility can also make others trust you more. F. Imagine agreeing to meet a friend and then turning up late. G.
