A Pew Research Center analysis found that from 1971 to 2021, the number of people living in multigenerational households increased, with the share of the US population in these homes more than doubling, from 7 percent in 1971 to 18 percent in 2021. “Rents in Boston are so high that I see lots of multigenerational living. Many young people move back in with their parents,” said Connie Brown, a global real estate adviser in Charlestown. “I have a rental apartment that’s $5, 000 a month, and we collect the first month’s rent, a security deposit (保证金), and our service fee, so it’s $20, 000 just to walk into the door.” One of Brown’s clients, Brian Lash changed space over his garage to an apartment for his 92-year-old dad. “Living with my dad for those months was wonderful,” he said, noting that his father has since passed away. “We watched basketball, baseball, and golf, we went out for dinner, and I cooked for him. Those are the days I would never have had if I hadn’t built that apartment.” Still, experts encourage people to have an open conversation before they move in together. They propose that both parties talk about whether there are shared expenses and who is responsible for what and that they put their agreements in writing. Cohabitation (同居) agreements are common among friends, but they are equally crucial for multigenerational families. Putting it in writing at the beginning of the process enables people to clarify viewpoints, and sometimes allows them to decide whether to move in together or not. 24. Why did El-Jawahri purchase the specially designed house? A. To ensure that her parents could be better cared. B To follow the traditional virtues of American culture. C. To experience culture in a multigenerational community. D. To acquire more household property in Boston for herself. 25. What does the Pew Research Center analysis show about multigenerational living? A. It is popular with Middle Easterners. B. It is mainly favored by senior citizens. C. It has seen greater acceptance in the US. D. It frequently occurs in single-child families. 26. What did Brian Lash think of his living with his father? A. It provided financial savings. B. It aroused his interest in sports. C. It left warm memories in his mind. D. It brought great changes to his daily life. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The reasons for people living together B. Suggestions on harmonious cohabitation. C. Convenience brought about by cohabitation. D. The importance of multigenerational families. C When it comes to building structures, humans often consider themselves the best, but the abilities of social insects are amazing. For example, termites (白蚁) construct tall nests. However, the true masters of insect architecture are the bees. A team of evolutionary biologists, led by Viviana Di Pietro, has discovered that these small-brained insects can build in various architectural styles, similar to humans. These styles are passed down from generation to generation, indicating that insects can have cultural differences — a concept once believed to be unique to humans, as noted by Andrew Whiten. In a study of over 400 bee colonies in Brazil, most nests were layered like cakes, while others were spiral (螺旋状). The researchers filmed the bees and found no difference in the speed of cell construction, suggesting that neither style is more efficient than the other. To determine if genetics played a role, researchers transferred workers from one nest type to another. The relocated bees adapted to the local building style, and so did the young bees. These findings are exciting for those studying animal culture, as they demonstrate that bees can pass down construction techniques without direct teaching. This challenges the traditional view of culture, which is often defined as behavior directly passed from one individual to another. Dr. Whiten believes that the new findings suggest complex animal behaviors, like beaver (海狸) dams, may also result from indirect learning. Some scientists say that certain human traditions could be passed down similarly, although this is not sure. Bees keep surprising us; it has been observed that bumblebees (大黄蜂) learn from older bees, challenging the idea that such learning is unique to humans. Perhaps bees deserve recognition as top architects too! 28. What did the team of Viviana Di Pietro find? A. Culture is only found in human societies. B. Bees build more efficiently than humans. C. Bees exhibit varied construction traditions. D. Animal behaviors come from direct teaching. 29. What was the traditional view of culture according to Paragraph 4? A. Inherited through genetic traits. B. Learned from individual interactions. C. Passed down through written records. D. Developed from environmental factors. 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Bees challenge human uniqueness in learning. B. Bees cannot communicate with each other at all. C. Animal behaviors are mostly natural occuring. D. Human traditions can be directly taught to others. 31. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Secret Lives of Bees B. The Intelligence of Bees C. The Cultural Architecture of Bees D. The Complexity of Insect Structures D Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning. A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree. But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain. In some cases however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists. One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible. Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life. 32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts. B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700 ℃. C. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts. D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks. 33. What happened to the surgeon after the strike? A. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain. B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death. C. His unexplored brain areas were activated. D. He recalled hidden memories about music. 34. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5? A. The flooding of brain's neurotransmitters. B. The cell death due to lightning strikes. C. The rewiring of brain neurons. D. The release of dying neurons. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The process of lightning formation. B. The consequences of being struck by lightning. C. The possibility of lightning making a genius. D. The chances of surviving a lightning strike. 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。 If you have ever interacted with a playful puppy, a darling kitten, or any other adorable creature, chances are that you’ve experienced an overwhelming urge to pet, squeeze, or even pinch them. ___36___ It is a response that is likely linked to our innate drive to nurture and protect our young. ___37___ A questionnaire to measure the levels of cute aggression experienced was given to the participants of the study. Researchers found that people tend to feel a stronger “cute aggression” response towards baby animals and pictures of digitally enhanced human babies with enlarged features. They also found that seeing cute things triggers the brain’s emotion and reward systems. Someone may feel so overwhelmed with emotions that they have become unmanageable. The brain’s strategy to regulate this imbalance is to express an “opposite” emotion to avoid excessive emotional exertion.___38___ This phenomenon is called a dimorphous expression (二态表达) of emotion. A second study also confirmed that cute aggression is a way of regulating emotions. When people are overwhelmed by a strong emotion, they develop distorted negative behavior called “duplicity”, in which what they do does not correspond to what they think. But cute aggression doesn’t equal abusive violence.___39___ Now that you know why you feel the urge to squeeze unbearably cute and fluffy things, there’s no need to worry about these aggressive tendencies.___40___ If you feel the urge to pinch, bite, or even “grind your teeth” when you see cute animals, don’t worry — this is not “sadistic tendencies”, but the brain is trying to control itself. A. The brain uses aggression to balance the overwhelming positive emotions of the two systems. B. A study in 2018 sought to comprehend the brain activity triggering cute aggression. C. The stronger the feelings of cute aggression, the stronger the urge to flee. D. They’re a normal part of our response to adorable creatures. E. On the contrary, cute aggression can foster collaboration between people. F. The former is a positive emotion that does not lead to real violent actions. G. This instinctive impulse is commonly referred to as cute aggression. 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。 Riding a bus to and from school every day is not that inspiring.

He asked the kids to bring a meaningful quote that could be ___44___ on the bus to inspire others. “I wrote this ___45___ on the bus, by Dr. Mae Jemison, ‘Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations,’” said Logan Roberts, an 8th grade rat Largo Middle School. “‘If you can dream, you can do it,’ by Walt Disney,” Logan added. Other ___46___ quotes are by Mother Teresa and other role models, or from music and movies, but what they all have in common is ___47___, according to Good Morning America (GMA). Much to Burgess’s ___48___, some of the quotes that students ___49___ are things that he has told them on their bus rides. “The world is brighter because you’re part of it — Mr. Anthony,” one note ___50___. “What really got to me was when several of them wrote, ‘Stay awesome— Mr. Anthony.’ They ___51___ mine and I didn’t think that would ___52___ be a thing. But that was really nice.” Burgess ___53___. When GMA asked him which quote was his ___54___, Burgess said that all of them are perfect, adding, “I didn’t realize how ___55___ it would be on these kids.” 41.

A Pew Research Center analysis found that from 1971 to 2021, the number of people living in multigenerational households increased, with the share of the US population in these homes more than doubling, from 7 percent in 1971 to 18 percent in 2021. “Rents in Boston are so high that I see lots of multigenerational living. Many young people move back in with their parents,” said Connie Brown, a global real estate adviser in Charlestown. “I have a rental apartment that’s $5, 000 a month, and we collect the first month’s rent, a security deposit (保证金), and our service fee, so it’s $20, 000 just to walk into the door.” One of Brown’s clients, Brian Lash changed space over his garage to an apartment for his 92-year-old dad. “Living with my dad for those months was wonderful,” he said, noting that his father has since passed away. “We watched basketball, baseball, and golf, we went out for dinner, and I cooked for him. Those are the days I would never have had if I hadn’t built that apartment.” Still, experts encourage people to have an open conversation before they move in together. They propose that both parties talk about whether there are shared expenses and who is responsible for what and that they put their agreements in writing. Cohabitation (同居) agreements are common among friends, but they are equally crucial for multigenerational families. Putting it in writing at the beginning of the process enables people to clarify viewpoints, and sometimes allows them to decide whether to move in together or not. 24. Why did El-Jawahri purchase the specially designed house? A. To ensure that her parents could be better cared. B. To follow the traditional virtues of American culture. C. To experience culture in a multigenerational community. D. To acquire more household property in Boston for herself. 25 What does the Pew Research Center analysis show about multigenerational living? A. It is popular with Middle Easterners. B. It is mainly favored by senior citizens. C. It has seen greater acceptance in the US. D. It frequently occurs in single-child families. 26. What did Brian Lash think of his living with his father? A. It provided financial savings. B. It aroused his interest in sports. C. It left warm memories in his mind. D. It brought great changes to his daily life. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The reasons for people living together B. Suggestions on harmonious cohabitation. C. Convenience brought about by cohabitation. D. The importance of multigenerational families. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍多代同堂的生活方式在美国越来越流行。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“ ‘I wanted them to be in a state where I could help manage their health care needs,’ she said. ‘As an only child from a Middle Eastern background, our culture is all about family units.’(她说，‘我希望他们处于一个我可以帮助管理他们医疗需求的周。作为来自中东背景的独生子女，我们的文化都是关于家庭团体的。’)”可知，El Jawahri购买了这所特别设计的房子，是为了确保她的父母能够得到更好的照顾。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“El-Jawahri’s choice was not unique. A Pew Research Center analysis found that from 1971 to 2021, the number of people living in multigenerational households increased, with the share of the US population in these homes more than doubling, from 7 percent in 1971 to 18 percent in 2021.(El Jawahri的选择并非独一无二。Pew研究中心的一项分析发现，从1971年到2021年，生活在多代家庭中的人数有所增加，这些家庭中美国人口的比例翻了一番多，从1971的7%增加到2021的18%。)”可知，Pew研究中心数据表明多代同堂的生活方式在美国得到了更大的认可。故选C项。 26题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“ ‘Living with my dad for those months was wonderful,’ he said, noting that his father has since passed away.(‘那几个月和我爸爸住在一起真是太棒了，’他说，并指出他的父亲已经去世了。)”和“We watched basketball, baseball, and golf, we went out for dinner, and I cooked for him. Those are the days I would never have had if I hadn’t built that apartment.(我们看了篮球、棒球和高尔夫，出去吃晚饭，我给他做饭。如果我没有建造那套公寓，那些日子我永远不会有。)”可知，Brian Lash认为，他和父亲住在一起给他留下了温暖的回忆。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Still, experts encourage people to have an open conversation before they move in together. They propose that both parties talk about whether there are shared expenses and who is responsible for what and that they put their agreements in writing. Cohabitation (同居)agreements are common among friends, but they are equally crucial for multigenerational families. (尽管如此，专家们还 是鼓励人们在搬到一起之前进行坦诚的交谈。他们建议双方讨论是否有共同费用，谁负责什么，并以书面形式达成协议。同居协议在朋友之间很常见，但对于多代家庭来说同样重要。)”以及下文可知，本段主要就多代和谐同居提出一些建议。故选B项。 C When it comes to building structures, humans often consider themselves the best, but the abilities of social insects are amazing. For example, termites (白蚁) construct tall nests. However, the true masters of insect architecture are the bees. A team of evolutionary biologists, led by Viviana Di Pietro, has discovered that these small-brained insects can build in various architectural styles, similar to humans. These styles are passed down from generation to generation, indicating that insects can have cultural differences — a concept once believed to be unique to humans, as noted by Andrew Whiten. In a study of over 400 bee colonies in Brazil, most nests were layered like cakes, while others were spiral (螺旋状). The researchers filmed the bees and found no difference in the speed of cell construction, suggesting that neither style is more efficient than the other. To determine if genetics played a role, researchers transferred workers from one nest type to another. The relocated bees adapted to the local building style, and so did the young bees. These findings are exciting for those studying animal culture, as they demonstrate that bees can pass down construction techniques without direct teaching. This challenges the traditional view of culture, which is often defined as behavior directly passed from one individual to another. Dr. Whiten believes that the new findings suggest complex animal behaviors, like beaver (海狸) dams, may also result from indirect learning. Some scientists say that certain human traditions could be passed down similarly, although this is not sure. Bees keep surprising us; it has been observed that bumblebees (大黄蜂) learn from older bees, challenging the idea that such learning is unique to humans. Perhaps bees deserve recognition as top architects too! 28. What did the team of Viviana Di Pietro find? A. Culture is only found in human societies. B. Bees build more efficiently than humans. C. Bees exhibit varied construction traditions. D. Animal behaviors come from direct teaching. 29. What was the traditional view of culture according to Paragraph 4? A. Inherited through genetic traits. B. Learned from individual interactions. C. Passed down through written records. D. Developed from environmental factors. 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Bees challenge human uniqueness in learning. B. Bees cannot communicate with each other at all. C. Animal behaviors are mostly natural occuring. D. Human traditions can be directly taught to others. 31. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Secret Lives of Bees B. The Intelligence of Bees C. The Cultural Architecture of Bees D. The Complexity of Insect Structures 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现蜜蜂可以像人类一样建造各种建筑风格并可以将这些风格代代相传。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“A team of evolutionary biologists, led by Viviana Di Pietro, has discovered that these small-brained insects can build in various architectural styles, similar to humans. These styles are passed down from generation to generation, indicating that insects can have cultural differences — a concept once believed to be unique to humans, as noted by Andrew Whiten.(由Viviana Di Pietro领导的一组进化生物学家发现，这些脑容量小的昆虫可以像人类一样建造各种建筑风格。这些风格代代相传，表明昆虫可以有文化差异——正如安德鲁·怀特所指出的那样，这一概念曾被认为是人类所独有的。)”可知，蜜蜂表现出不同的建筑传统。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“This challenges the traditional view of culture, which is often defined as behavior directly passed from one individual to another.(这挑战了传统的文化观点，文化通常被定义为直接从一个人传递给另一个人的行为。)”可知，传统的文化观认为文化是从个体互动中学习。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Bees keep surprising us; it has been observed that bumblebees (大黄蜂) learn from older bees, challenging the idea that such learning is unique to humans.(蜜蜂不断给我们带来惊喜; 据观察，大黄蜂向年长的蜜蜂学习，挑战了这种学习是人类独有的观点。)”可知，蜜蜂挑战了学习是人类独有的观点。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。本文的主要内容是：研究人员发现蜜蜂以像人类一样建造各种建筑风格并可以将这些风格代代相传。所以用C项“The Cultural Architecture of Bees(蜜蜂的文化建筑)”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选C项。 D Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning. A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree. But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain. In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists. One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible. Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life. 32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts. B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700 ℃. C. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts. D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks. 33. What happened to the surgeon after the strike? A. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain. B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death. C. His unexplored brain areas were activated. D. He recalled hidden memories about music. 34. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5? A. The flooding of brain's neurotransmitters. B. The cell death due to lightning strikes. C. The rewiring of brain neurons. D. The release of dying neurons. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The process of lightning formation. B. The consequences of being struck by lightning. C. The possibility of lightning making a genius. D. The chances of surviving a lightning strike. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.(血管因电击和高温而爆炸，通常会在你的皮肤上形成一种叫做利希滕贝格的形状。这是一种疤痕模式，像树一样在你的身体上分支。)”可知，被闪电袭击后，皮肤上出现树枝状疤痕是很典型的情况。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.( Brogaard说，一种理论是，被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥，这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。这会导致神经元的重新连接，从而进入以前无法进入的大脑区域。)”可知，这位外科医生被闪电击中后，他未探索的大脑区域被激活了。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段划线词This前文的内容“One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元).(Brogaard说，一种理论是，被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥，这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。)”可知，This此处是代词，指代上文提到的a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质)，即大脑神经递质的泛滥。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.(在天空的某个地方，闪电正在形成。虽然在你的一生中被击中的可能性大约是1/12000，但人类确实为闪电提供了一个有吸引力的目标。如果你发现自己处于闪电的路径上，你应该这样想。)”和最后一段“Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.(尽管这很酷，但你不应该指望闪电会在一瞬间把你变成天才。它的大部分结果都是痛苦的，可能会伴随你一生。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。故选B。 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。 If you have ever interacted with a playful puppy, a darling kitten, or any other adorable creature, chances are that you’ve experienced an overwhelming urge to pet, squeeze, or even pinch them. ___36___ It is a response that is likely linked to our innate drive to nurture and protect our young. ___37___ A questionnaire to measure the levels of cute aggression experienced was given to the participants of the study. Researchers found that people tend to feel a stronger “cute aggression” response towards baby animals and pictures of digitally enhanced human babies with enlarged features. They also found that seeing cute things triggers the brain’s emotion and reward systems. Someone may feel so overwhelmed with emotions that they have become unmanageable. The brain’s strategy to regulate this imbalance is to express an “opposite” emotion to avoid excessive emotional exertion.___38___ This phenomenon is called a dimorphous expression (二态表达) of emotion. A second study also confirmed that cute aggression is a way of regulating emotions. When people are overwhelmed by a strong emotion, they develop distorted negative behavior called “duplicity”, in which what they do does not correspond to what they think. But cute aggression doesn’t equal abusive violence.___39___ Now that you know why you feel the urge to squeeze unbearably cute and fluffy things, there’s no need to worry about these aggressive tendencies.___40___ If you feel the urge to pinch, bite, or even “grind your teeth” when you see cute animals, don’t worry — this is not “sadistic tendencies”, but the brain is trying to control itself. A. The brain uses aggression to balance the overwhelming positive emotions of the two systems. B. A study in 2018 sought to comprehend the brain activity triggering cute aggression. C. The stronger the feelings of cute aggression, the stronger the urge to flee. D. They’re a normal part of our response to adorable creatures. E. On the contrary, cute aggression can foster collaboration between people. F. The former is a positive emotion that does not lead to real violent actions. G. This instinctive impulse is commonly referred to as cute aggression. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. A 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“可爱侵略性”这一现象，包括其产生的原因和特点等。 【36题详解】 根据上文“If you have ever interacted with a playful puppy, a darling kitten, or any other adorable creature, chances are that you've experienced an overwhelming urge to pet, squeeze, or even pinch them.（如果你曾经和一只顽皮的小狗、可爱的小猫或任何其他可爱的生物互动过，很有可能你会有一种强烈的冲动去抚摸、挤压甚至捏它们。）” 以及后文 “It is a response that is likely linked to our innate drive to nurture and protect our young.（这是一种可能与我们天生的养育和保护后代的本能有关的反应。）” 可知，此处对“可爱侵略性”这一现象做了解释，空白处应指出这种本能冲动被称为“可爱侵略性”，G选项 “This instinctive impulse is commonly referred to as cute aggression.（这种本能冲动通常被称为可爱侵略性。）” 承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据后文“A questionnaire to measure the levels of cute aggression experienced was given to the participants of the study.（研究人员向参与者发放了一份问卷，以测量他们经历的可爱侵略性水平。）” 可知，此处应提到一项关于理解引发可爱侵略性的大脑活动的研究，B选项 “A study in 2018 sought to comprehend the brain activity triggering cute aggression.（2018 年的一项研究试图理解引发“可爱侵略性”的大脑活动。）” 符合语境。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据上文“The brain’s strategy to regulate this imbalance is to express an “opposite” emotion to avoid excessive emotional exertion.（大脑调节这种不平衡的策略是表达一种 “相反” 的情绪，以避免过度的情绪消耗。）” 可知，上文说的是大脑调节这种不平衡的策略是表达一种 “相反” 的情绪，以避免过度的情绪消耗，可推理出此处应进一步说明大脑如何来平衡这种强烈的积极情绪，A选项“The brain uses aggression to balance the overwhelming positive emotions of the two systems.（大脑利用侵略性来平衡这两个系统中压倒性的积极情绪。）” 符合语境。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上文“But cute aggression doesn’t equal abusive violence.（但可爱侵略性并不等同于虐待性暴力。）”可知，上文说的是可爱侵略性并不等同于虐待性暴力，可推理出此处应进一步说明可爱侵略性的本质，F选项“The former is a positive emotion that does not lead to real violent actions.（前者是一种积极的情绪，不会导致真正的暴力行为。）” 符合语境。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Now that you know why you feel the urge to squeeze unbearably cute and fluffy things, there's no need to worry about these aggressive tendencies.（现在你知道为什么你会有挤压可爱得让人无法忍受的毛茸茸的东西的冲动了，就没有必要担心这些侵略性倾向了。）” 可知，上文说的是没必要担心自己想要挤压毛茸茸的东西的冲动是否有侵略性倾向，可推理出此处应说明可爱侵略性是对可爱生物的正常反应，D选项“They’re a normal part of our response to adorable creatures.（它们是我们对可爱生物反应的正常部分。）” 符合语境。故选D。 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。 Riding a bus to and from school every day is not that inspiring.

There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?
