If you want to experience spring in all its colourful glory, here are four of the best places for you. Blooming Baroque, Ludwigsburg, Germany The Blooming Baroque garden show in Ludwigsburg, Germany, has been welcoming visitors since 1954. Visit the 18th-century palace between March and November and you can not only see displays filled with flowers, but also watch different kinds of birds and visit gardens, climb Rapunzel's tower and get lost in a giant hedge maze (树篱迷宫). Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse, the Netherlands The largest flower garden in the world, Keukenhof in the Netherlands is the best place to see the symbolic Dutch flower at its finest. Tulips explode across the gardens, with more than 800 different varieties. After you’ve wandered through the gardens, you can hire a bike at the main gate and then ride through the endless rows of picture-perfect flowered rainbows. The show runs from March 21 to May 10. Temps de Flors, Girona, Spain Girona’s medieval centre is transformed into a living gallery as flower carpets and special sculptures explode throughout the city centre each May. The Girona A Cappella Festival invites music lovers to engage all their senses as the sound, smell and sight of spring fill the city for 10 days in May. Normandy Tulip Festival, Vendcuvre, France The French garden of the 18th-century Vendeuvre Chateau in Normandy springs to life in April, as over30, 000 tulips, narcissi and grape hyacinths awaken. Open afternoons throughout April between 2 p. m. and 6p. m. 1. Where can you see a flower display in autumn? A. In the Netherlands. B. In Germany. C. In Spain. D. In France. 2. What of the following is the highlight of the Girona's flower display? A. A maze in a palace. B. An art exhibition. C. A music festival. D. A bicycle tour. 3.

B Researchers from the Yale Child Study Center collected 21 days of daily diaries from parents and teens from151 families. Participating teens were in the 9th and 10th grades, and ranged from 13 to 16 years old. By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents’ displays of warmth with daily fluctuations (变动) in how loved their teens were feeling. “The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life,” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study. Regardless of the general closeness of the parent-teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise. Likewise, teens reported feeling less loved on days when parents reported more conflicts than usual. More importantly, the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts by showing their teens warmth. In other words, on days when parents were warm, high levels of conflicts didn't reduce how loved teens felt. To weaken conflicts’ impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said. “Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children,” said John Coffey, the study’s lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.” The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long-term relationships. How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term, said the researchers. “The study findings are particularly useful right now,” added Coffey, “because parents and their children are spending much time together. Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and ensure children feel loved.” 4. The main purpose of the study conducted by Yale Child Study Center is to ________. A. investigate the daily conflicts between parents and teens B. explore the impact of age and gender on teens’ emotional well-being C. provide practical suggestions for caregivers to avoid conflicts with their teens D. examine the link between parental warmth and teens’ sense of being loved 5. How can parents reduce conflicts’ effect on their teens according to the text? A. By displaying emotional warmth on the same day. B. By spending more time with their teens. C. By showing understanding related to the conflicts D. By expressing agreement on whatever their says. 6. It can be inferred from the study that ________. A. conflicts between parents and teens are entirely unavoidable B. parents’ warmth can effectively reduce conflicts between parents and teens C. teens’ feelings of being loved are not affected by their parents’ conflicts D. daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common in long-term relationships 7. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Parents and teens frequently encounter disagreement or arguments. B. Parents’ warmth can be shown through the expression of affection and understanding. C The study suggests that conflicts between parents and teens can be handled. D. The study suggests that parents spend more time with their children. C Too much light at night can cut the number of seeds a plant makes, a new study finds. Researchers put up street lights in Swiss meadows (草地), far from any real streets. The setup was built similarly to urban light pollution. In these now-light-polluted fields, flowers had 62 percent fewer night visitors-insect pollinators (传粉者)-than did the flowers in dark meadows. The researchers reported a cabbage thistle (卷心菜蓟花) bloom hosts a guest insect after dark. Cabbage thistles are the most common flowers in these meadows. Fewer insect visitors at night could mean less pollen (花粉) pollinated from plant to plant (the first step in making seeds). For the thistles, daytime pollinator visits didn’t make up for this loss at night, says Eva Knop, an ecologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Overall, night-lit plants produced one-eighth fewer seeds than did plants that got full nights of darkness. Light pollution might affect a whole network of plants and their pollinators, Knop and her colleagues now suggest. Indeed, night pollination was not just a lonely business for a few special plants. There were lots of links between pollen hauls by night and by day. Plants with a lot of night visits were often very busy by day, too. Light at night that decreases seed numbers could over time mean fewer new plants. And fewer plants could mean plants could mean less food and shelter for daytime insects. So a lot of pollinators working the day and night shifts could be affected, Knop worries. The new study is the first to show how artificial light affects plants’ ability to make seeds. The test is also unusual because it considers all kinds of insect pollinators instead of focusing only on night-flying insects. The researchers paid special attention to the cabbage thistle, but they also mapped which kinds of insects visited other plants by day or night. 8. Why were street lights put up in the meadows? A. To attract insect pollinators. B. For urban development. C. To reduce light pollution. D. For scientific research. 9. What can be learned about cabbage thistles? A. They are the most common Swiss flowers. B. They grow slowly during the night. C. They rely on insects to help make seeds. D. They attract only night visitors. 10. How does light pollution affect pollinators? A. By decreasing night visitors. B. By damaging their sight. C. By increasing seed numbers. D. By destroying their shelter. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Light pollution may affect plants greatly B. Night-flying insects matter more than daytime ones C. Plants attract more insects due to light pollution D. Researchers found ways to protect the environment D Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can be a hit-and-miss affair. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” The results appear to chime with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse. Writing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Tam and colleagues report how they carried out seven experiments involving a total of more than 1,200 participants. The first involving 140 participants, revealed that people tended to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring, while the second-an online survey involving 231 participants--suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or switch to another would make viewing a video less boring. However, the team’s subsequent experiments suggest this is not the case. Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they were not able to, while results from 159 undergraduates revealed they reported higher levels or boredom when given a collection of five-minute videos they could switch between, compared with a single 10-minute video. “Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping through them.” 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to avoid boredom while browsing videos. B. The relationship between video switching and boredom. C. The popularity of TikTok and YouTube among young people. D. The importance of immersive experiences in movie theaters. 13. What does the underlined phrase “chime with” mean in Paragraph 3? A. agree with B. compare with C. contrast with D. disagree with 14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the research? A. Skipping through videos always makes viewing less boring. B. Swiping through short videos frequently leads to increased boredom. C. Switching between short videos frequently helps people reduce boredom. D. The use of social media or smartphones cases boredom. 15. To relieve boredom while watching videos, Dr. Katy Tam suggest people ________. A. skip through videos as often as possible B. fast-forward videos to keep interest C. absorb themselves in the video content D. avoid watching videos on social media platforms 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。 A food allergy (过敏) is a medical condition that occurs when the body’s protection system perceives certain foods as a threat and responds to them with an allergic reaction.

I’ll always remember that day, when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back Sally was the new kid in class.

But after a few months, I found we had a lot in common and that we got along well with each other. We were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, adding her own description of it and telling everyone at school. It hurt me seriously. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me and giggling (咯咯地笑) whenever I passed by. After this terrible situation, I changed schools. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. I tried hard to heal from the scars (伤痕) she left on my heart. I started a new life. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna at the market. She was my classmate from 3rd grade. She told me that Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light. Mary was. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I was at a loss.

Likewise, teens reported feeling less loved on days when parents reported more conflicts than usual. More importantly, the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts by showing their teens warmth. In other words, on days when parents were warm, high levels of conflicts didn't reduce how loved teens felt. To weaken conflicts’ impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said. “Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children,” said John Coffey, the study’s lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.” The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long-term relationships. How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term, said the researchers. “The study findings are particularly useful right now,” added Coffey, “because parents and their children are spending much time together. Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and ensure children feel loved.” 4. The main purpose of the study conducted by Yale Child Study Center is to ________. A. investigate the daily conflicts between parents and teens B. explore the impact of age and gender on teens’ emotional well-being C. provide practical suggestions for caregivers to avoid conflicts with their teens D. examine the link between parental warmth and teens’ sense of being loved 5. How can parents reduce conflicts’ effect on their teens according to the text? A. By displaying emotional warmth on the same day. B. By spending more time with their teens. C. By showing understanding related to the conflicts D. By expressing agreement on whatever their says. 6. It can be inferred from the study that ________. A. conflicts between parents and teens are entirely unavoidable B. parents’ warmth can effectively reduce conflicts between parents and teens C. teens’ feelings of being loved are not affected by their parents’ conflicts D. daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common in long-term relationships 7. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Parents and teens frequently encounter disagreement or arguments. B. Parents’ warmth can be shown through the expression of affection and understanding. C. The study suggests that conflicts between parents and teens can be handled. D. The study suggests that parents spend more time with their children. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了耶鲁大学儿童研究中心的研究人员收集家长和青少年21天的日记，分析发现家长表达温暖与青少年感受到的被爱程度之间的日常波动有关，家长在同一天表达温暖可以减弱冲突对孩子的影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents’ displays of warmth with daily fluctuations (变动) in how loved their teens were feeling.(通过分析这些日记，研究人员可以将父母的温暖表现与青少年感受到的爱的日常波动联系起来)”可知，耶鲁儿童研究中心进行的这项研究的主要目的是研究父母的温暖和青少年被爱的感觉之间的联系。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To weaken conflicts’ impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said.(研究人员说，为了减弱冲突的影响，温情必须在同一天出现，但温情和冲突并不一定要联系起来)”可知，父母在同一天表现出情感上的温暖可以减少冲突对孩子的影响。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long-term relationships.(越来越多的证据表明，即使在长期的关系中，每天感觉被爱的波动也是很常见的，这项研究进一步证明了这一点)”可知，从这项研究中可以推断出在长期关系中，感受到爱的日常波动是很常见的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children,” said John Coffey, the study’s lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.”(该研究的主要作者约翰·科菲（John Coffey）说：“父母经常抱怨他们与孩子之间的冲突，但我们的研究表明，冲突是可以控制的。”)”可知，选项A和C被提及了，根据第二段“Regardless of the general closeness of the parent-teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise.(研究人员发现，不管父母与青少年的关系是否亲密，当父母以情感、理解或赞美的形式表现出更多的温暖时，青少年会感到更被爱)”可知，选项B被提及了。文章并没有提到“研究表明父母应该花更多时间与孩子在一起”，所以选项D未提及。故选D项。 C Too much light at night can cut the number of seeds a plant makes, a new study finds. Researchers put up street lights in Swiss meadows (草地), far from any real streets. The setup was built similarly to urban light pollution. In these now-light-polluted fields, flowers had 62 percent fewer night visitors-insect pollinators (传粉者)-than did the flowers in dark meadows. The researchers reported a cabbage thistle (卷心菜蓟花) bloom hosts a guest insect after dark. Cabbage thistles are the most common flowers in these meadows. Fewer insect visitors at night could mean less pollen (花粉) pollinated from plant to plant (the first step in making seeds). For the thistles, daytime pollinator visits didn’t make up for this loss at night, says Eva Knop, an ecologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Overall, night-lit plants produced one-eighth fewer seeds than did plants that got full nights of darkness. Light pollution might affect a whole network of plants and their pollinators, Knop and her colleagues now suggest. Indeed, night pollination was not just a lonely business for a few special plants. There were lots of links between pollen hauls by night and by day. Plants with a lot of night visits were often very busy by day, too. Light at night that decreases seed numbers could over time mean fewer new plants. And fewer plants could mean plants could mean less food and shelter for daytime insects. So a lot of pollinators working the day and night shifts could be affected, Knop worries. The new study is the first to show how artificial light affects plants’ ability to make seeds. The test is also unusual because it considers all kinds of insect pollinators instead of focusing only on night-flying insects. The researchers paid special attention to the cabbage thistle, but they also mapped which kinds of insects visited other plants by day or night. 8. Why were street lights put up in the meadows? A. To attract insect pollinators. B. For urban development. C. To reduce light pollution. D. For scientific research. 9. What can be learned about cabbage thistles? A. They are the most common Swiss flowers. B. They grow slowly during the night. C. They rely on insects to help make seeds. D. They attract only night visitors. 10. How does light pollution affect pollinators? A. By decreasing night visitors. B. By damaging their sight. C By increasing seed numbers. D. By destroying their shelter. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Light pollution may affect plants greatly B. Night-flying insects matter more than daytime ones C. Plants attract more insects due to light pollution D. Researchers found ways to protect the environment 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现，夜间过多的光照会减少植物的种子数量。文章详细介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及研究发现夜间过多的光照不仅会减少植物的种子数量，还会摧毁传粉者的庇护所，从而影响到植物的传粉者。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers put up street lights in Swiss meadows (草地), far from any real streets. The setup was built similarly to urban light pollution. In these now-light-polluted fields, flowers had 62 percent fewer night visitors-insect pollinators (传粉者)-than did the flowers in dark meadows.(研究人员在远离任何真实街道的瑞士草地上安装了路灯。该装置的建造方式与城市光污染类似。在这些现已被光污染的田地里，花朵的夜间访客——昆虫传粉者——比在光线暗的草地上的花朵少62%)”可知，路灯挂在草地上是为了用于科学研究。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fewer insect visitors at night could mean less pollen (花粉) pollinated from plant to plant (the first step in making seeds).(夜间昆虫的减少可能意味着植物间的花粉传粉量减少——这是制造种子的第一步)”可知，甘蓝蓟依靠昆虫来帮助制造种子。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Light at night that decreases seed numbers could over time mean fewer new plants. And fewer plants could mean plants could mean less food and shelter for daytime insects.(随着时间的推移，夜间的灯光会减少种子数量，这意味着新植物的数量会减少。更少的植物意味着更少的食物和白天昆虫的较少的庇护所)”可知，光污染通过摧毁传粉者的庇护所，来影响传粉者。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Too much light at night can cut the number of seeds a plant makes, a new study finds.(一项新研究发现，夜间过多的光照会减少植物的种子数量)”以及第三段中“Light pollution might affect a whole network of plants and their pollinators, Knop and her colleagues now suggest.( Knop和她的同事现在认为，光污染可能会影响整个植物网络和它们的传粉者)”结合文章详细介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及研究发现夜间过多的光照不仅会减少植物的种子数量，还会摧毁传粉者的庇护所，从而影响到植物的传粉者。可知，A选项“光污染对植物的影响很大”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can be a hit-and-miss affair. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” The results appear to chime with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse. Writing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Tam and colleagues report how they carried out seven experiments involving a total of more than 1,200 participants. The first, involving 140 participants, revealed that people tended to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring, while the second-an online survey involving 231 participants--suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or switch to another would make viewing a video less boring. However, the team’s subsequent experiments suggest this is not the case. Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they were not able to, while results from 159 undergraduates revealed they reported higher levels or boredom when given a collection of five-minute videos they could switch between, compared with a single 10-minute video. “Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping through them.” 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to avoid boredom while browsing videos. B. The relationship between video switching and boredom. C. The popularity of TikTok and YouTube among young people. D. The importance of immersive experiences in movie theaters. 13. What does the underlined phrase “chime with” mean in Paragraph 3? A. agree with B. compare with C. contrast with D. disagree with 14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the research? A. Skipping through videos always makes viewing less boring. B. Swiping through short videos frequently leads to increased boredom. C. Switching between short videos frequently helps people reduce boredom. D. The use of social media or smartphones cases boredom. 15. To relieve boredom while watching videos, Dr. Katy Tam suggest people ________. A. skip through videos as often as possible B. fast-forward videos to keep interest C. absorb themselves in the video content D. avoid watching videos on social media platforms 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多伦多斯卡伯勒大学的研究人员关于人们浏览视频的研究，研究表明不断切换视频或在同一视频中前后跳跃实际上会让人们感到更无聊。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can be a hit-and-miss affair. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored.(在TikTok或YouTube上浏览视频可能是一件偶然的事情。但研究人员发现，切换到另一个视频，或者在同一个视频中来回跳，实际上会让人更无聊)”以及纵观全文可知，文章主要探讨了人们在浏览视频时频繁切换或跳过内容如何影响他们的无聊感，因此主旨是视频切换与无聊之间的关系。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.(当人们不停地切换视频时，他们对视频的参与度就会降低，他们会寻找更有趣的东西。这可能会增加无聊感)”以及后文“as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse.(正如研究小组指出的那样，之前的研究表明，尽管缓解无聊是人们使用社交媒体或智能手机的一个动力，但使用这些技术似乎会让感觉更糟)”可知，之前的研究和现在的研究结果一样，推知chime with是“以……一致，同意”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said.(她说：“我们的研究表明，虽然人们为了避免无聊而快进或跳过视频，但这种行为实际上会让他们感到更加无聊。”)”可知，尽管人们认为切换视频会减少无聊，但实验结果表明，频繁切换或跳过视频实际上会让人感到更加无聊。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Just as we pay for an immersive experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping through them.(就像我们花钱去电影院享受身临其境的体验一样，享受往往来自于让自己沉浸在视频中，而不是在视频中刷屏)”可知，Dr. Katy Tam建议人们沉浸于视频内容中来缓解无聊。故选C项。 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。 A food allergy (过敏) is a medical condition that occurs when the body’s protection system perceives certain foods as a threat and responds to them with an allergic reaction.

To prove 44. compared 45. in 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要是关于伦敦大学学院的研究人员对于午睡对大脑益处的研究发现。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：伦敦大学学院的研究人员发现，经常小睡对大脑有益，有助于保持大脑体积，延缓衰老。空前是系动词，所以空处应填形容词作表语，应是beneficial，构成固定搭配：be beneficial for意为“有益于”。故填beneficial。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他们的研究发现，午睡者的大脑比不午睡者的大脑大15立方厘米，这相当于将衰老推迟了3到6年。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前文提到的事，在从句中作主语，用which引导。故填which。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，科学家们强烈建议将午睡时间控制在半小时以内。空处修饰空后的动词，用副词。故填extremely。 【39题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：随着年龄的增长，大脑自然会变小，小睡是否能预防阿尔茨海默病等疾病仍是一个有待进一步研究的课题。空处引导主语从句，从句中结构完整，根据句意，表达“是否”之意，用whether引导。故填whether。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：大脑的整体健康对于预防痴呆症至关重要，痴呆症与睡眠紊乱有关。空前是介词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，important的名词形式是importance。故填importance。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随着时间的推移，睡眠不足会引起炎症，影响脑细胞之间的联系，从而损害大脑。根据空前的and可知，空处和前文的causing并列，所以应填动名词作宾语。故填affecting。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：虽然打盹可以促进健康，但反过来也是正确的：健康状况不佳会导致疲劳，需要更多的小睡。空前的to是介词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，tired的名词形式是tiredness。故填tiredness。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了证明午睡的好处，研究人员使用了基于DNA的自然实验。本句已有谓语动词used，所以prove用非谓语形式，根据句意表目的，用不定式作目的状语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填To prove。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：他们对参与英国生物银行项目的35000名年龄在40岁到69岁之间的人进行了基因“午睡者”和“不午睡者”的比较。本句是who引导的定语从句，compare为主句谓语，根据participated可知，用一般过去时。故填compared。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：发表在《睡眠健康》（Sleep Health）杂志上的研究结果显示，两组人的大脑大小存在显著差异，相当于衰老2.6至6.5岁。此处是固定搭配：difference in意为“在……方面的差别”。故填in。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校英语报的编辑将在英文报开设一个新的专栏，专门推荐一些经典英文好电影。请你根据以下提示给英语报写一封推荐信，推荐一部你喜欢的英文电影。 内容包括：1. 介绍电影的基本信息；2. 推荐这部电影的理由。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear editor, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Hua 【答案】Dear editor, I’m writing to recommend my favorite movie, “The Shawshank Redemption”, for your new movie column.

I’ll always remember that day, when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something unique about her drew me to her. She was the most friendly person I knew. We started as classmates. But after a few months, I found we had a lot in common and that we got along well with each other. We were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, adding her own description of it and telling everyone at school. It hurt me seriously. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me and giggling (咯咯地笑) whenever I passed by. After this terrible situation, I changed schools. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. I tried hard to heal from the scars (伤痕) she left on my heart. I started a new life. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna at the market. She was my classmate from 3rd grade. She told me that Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light. Mary was. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I was at a loss. I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistakes. I was struggling. Maybe I should give Sally a call. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few days later, I gathered the courage to pick up the phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have learned a lesson from the experience. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A few days later, I gathered the courage to pick up the phone. My heart pounded as I dialed Sally’s number. When she answered, there was a moment of silence. Then, I took a deep breath and said, “Sally, I heard the truth. I’m sorry for not answering your calls.” Sally’s voice was shaky as she replied, “I’m glad you called. I’ve been so worried.” We talked for a long time, and gradually, the ice between us began to melt. I have learned a lesson from the experience. Trust is fragile and once broken, it’s hard to repair. But with communication and understanding, there can be a chance for people to make up with each other. This incident has taught me to be more cautious in sharing my secrets and to give people a chance to explain. We can’t always jump to conclusions. Life is full of misunderstandings, and it’s up to us to find the courage to face them and work towards solving them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者和莎莉是好朋友，作者把自己的秘密告诉给莎莉，然后，作者的秘密被泄露给他人，作者被他人嘲笑，作者认为是莎莉把自己的秘密告诉给他人。作者转学，莎莉多次给作者打电话，作者都没有接电话，作者感到受到伤害。后来，作者得知是玛丽泄露自己的秘密而不是莎莉。作者主动给莎莉打电话道歉，二人摒弃前嫌，言归于好。由此，作者体会颇深。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，我鼓起勇气拿起电话。”可知，第一段可描写作者给莎莉打电话道歉，通过交流二人摒弃前嫌，言归于好。 ②由第二段首句内容“我从这次经历中吸取了教训。”可知，第二段可描写作者由这件事得到的教训和体会。 2.续写线索：打电话——道歉——重归于好——教训——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①怦怦地跳：pound/thump ②恢复；修复：repair/restore ③解决：solve/resolve 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/concerned ②谨慎的：cautious/prudent 【点睛】 [高分句型1] My heart pounded as I dialed Sally’s number.
