C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2022年创新杯的相关内容，包括比赛的参与人员、涉及领域等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Who can apply”部分中的“Sciences: Post graduate students on their way towards a PhD in biology, medicine, biotech, bioinformatics, data sciences, biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacy, physics or engineering.(科学：攻读生物学、医学、生物技术、生物信息学、数据科学、生物化学、化学、药学、物理学或工程学博士学位的研究生。)”可知选项D“Exceptional students specializing in developing new drugs.(专门研究新药的优秀学生。)”符合报名条件，故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了2022年创新杯的相关信息，包括该比赛的好处、报名的方式和条件等，由此可推断，文章主要是为了吸引人才参加创新杯比赛。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“How it works”部分中的“The participants will be divided into teams, work together to develop a business plan and present it to a grand jury, who will award the Merck Innovation Cup for the best plan along with a cash prize of EUR 20,000 plus EUR 5,000 for the runner-up.(参与者将被分成小组，共同制定商业计划，并将其提交给大陪审团，大陪审团将授予最佳计划默克创新杯，以及20,000欧元的现金奖励和亚军5,000欧元的奖金。)”可知，该比赛的冠军和亚军将被给予先进奖励。故选C。 B When Areej El-Jawahri, a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, signed the contract to purchase the house specially designed to fit the needs of multigenerational (多代的) residents, she knew she wanted her parents, who then lived in Michigan, to join her. “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.” 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. “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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. 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。 【4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。 【5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。 【6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。 【7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 people talk about suddenly remembering old memories , the memories they’ re referring to are usually episodic (情景的) memories. As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life. Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know. Usually, the recall of episodic and semantic memories has easily identifiable triggers (诱因) in our context. Context includes our physical surroundings as well as the aspects of our mental state, such as thoughts and feelings. For example, you’re eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. When someone says the word “Oscar”, the name of the movie that won the Oscar recently flashes in your mind. That belongs to semantic memory. These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they’ve been called mind-pops (闪念). Mind-pops shouldn’t be confused with insight, which is the sudden pop ping up of a potential solution to a complex problem in the mind. Thus, mind- pops are semantic or autobiographical memories that suddenly flash in our minds without an easily identifiable trigger. Mind-pops may comprise any piece of information, be it an image, a sound, or a word. They’re often experienced by people when they’re engaged in mundane tasks like mopping the floor or brushing teeth. Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind. For example, you’re reading a book, and suddenly, the image of your school corridor pops into your mind for no reason. What you were reading or thinking at the time had no connection to your school. I do experience mind-pops from time to time. But when I tried to look for cues in my con text that may have triggered my mind-pops, I would fail. Maybe such mind-pops are completely random. 8. Which of the following might be episodic memory? A. You predict a heavy rain is on the way. B. A good idea flashes into your mind suddenly. C. A song reminds you of your middle school graduation. D. You think of a round shape when hearing the word “circle”. 9. What is a feature of mind-pops? A. They have obvious triggers. B. They come out without warning. C. They appear in the form of images. D. They often bring long- lasting memories. 10. What does the underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Careful. B. Dull. C. Necessary. D. Challenging. 11. What is the aim of this passage? A. To explore human inner thoughts. B. To point out the memory formation. C. To distinguish different memory scenes. D. To explain some similar memory phenomena. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了认知心理学的几种现象，如情景记忆、语义记忆还有闪念及其与顿悟之间的差异等。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, you’re eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. (例如，你在餐馆吃一道菜，它的味道让你想起了你妈妈以前做过的类似的菜。这就是情景记忆.)”可知，情景记忆就是类似的物质环境和精神状态引起我们曾经的记忆，所以C项“一首歌让你想起中学毕业”属于情景记忆的范畴。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they’ve been called mind-pops (闪念). (这些记忆在我们的环境中有明显的触发点，但有时，在我们脑海中闪现的记忆没有可识别的触发点。它们似乎不知从哪里在我们脑海中闪过；因此，它们被称为闪念。)”可知，闪念是在脑海中闪现的记忆，没有可识别的触发点，突然在我们脑海中闪过。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后面的例子“like mopping the floor or brushing teeth (从事拖地或刷牙)”以及“Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind (这些平凡无奇的日常往往会激发我们的思想)”可知，刷牙、拖地是单调的日常工作，由此推断B选项词义与画线词词义接近。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When people talk about suddenly remembering old memories , the memories they’ re referring to are usually episodic (情景的) memories. As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life. (当人们说突然想起旧记忆时，他们指的通常是情景记忆。顾名思义，这种类型的记忆存储了我们生活中的场景。)”以及第二段“Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know. (另一种可以被突然记住的记忆是语义记忆。我们的语义记忆是我们知识的仓库，包含了我们所知道的所有事实。)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了什么是情景记忆、语义记忆、闪念及其与顿悟的区别等，由此推断文章的目的是解释一些相似的记忆现象。故选D项。 D A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain, ” Benites- Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez- Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils. 12. What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow? A. It reached the top of food chains. B. It is thought to have complex teeth. C. It belongs to an endangered species. D. It was attacked by two different animals. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The scene of animal fights. B. The method of the research. C. The introduction of a movie. D. The danger of the experiments. 14. What does the importance of the study lie in? A. Challenging the current ecosystems. B. Offering insights into ancient food webs. C. Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D. Figuring out the link between man and nature. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains C. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D. An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago.(一项新的研究表明，史前海牛是两种不同捕食者的目标——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨，这为数百万年前复杂的食物链提供了难得的见解)”可知，史前海牛被两种不同的动物攻击。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”(“你看过蝙蝠侠电影吗？有一个场景，他和阿尔弗雷德正在射击子弹，试图找出他们试图找到的特定类型的子弹，”该研究的主要作者贝尼特斯-帕洛米诺说。“我们的研究是以完全相同的方式进行的。我们在捕食者攻击猎物的野外进行了这些实验，然后我们试图比较哪种场景最适合我们在那里发现的东西。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了研究的方法。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs.(这一发现意义重大，因为它增加了有限的多种捕食者与单一猎物相互作用的化石记录。这种相互作用在今天的生态系统中很常见，但很少有化石记录，这使得这一发现成为理解古代食物网的重要拼图)”可知，这项研究的重要性在于提供对古代食物网的见解。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago.(一项新的研究表明，史前海牛是两种不同捕食者的目标——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨，这为数百万年前复杂的食物链提供了难得的见解)”结合本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。故C选项“鲨鱼和鳄鱼吃了倒霉的海牛”符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A fixed mindset of interest can harm creativity and innovation. If people believe they are limited to only a few particular interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across different dimensions. ____16____ Those who with a growth mindset are also more likely to be creative when solving problems. ____17____ In June, we published findings from an intervention that succeeded in that aim. In two studies involving more than 700 first- year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing how our participants saw themselves. The majority held strong interests in the arts, humanities and social sciences. ____18____ We then randomly assigned students to either our intervention or a study skills module. Our intervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think about interests and passions as cultivated rather than as simply found and fixed. ____19____ The study skills module had a similar set of exercises but with an emphasis on building classic skills, such as time management and active learning. These students were required to take at least one math and science course during their first year. That meant we could check how the intervention may have influenced their perspectives on math and science. By the end of the year, students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required math and science courses than those who received the study skills module —— and this boost was particularly apparent among students who initially reported that they were not a“ math- and- science person”. ____20____ These students became more skilled in math and science and grew into interdisciplinary (跨学科的) scholars. A. So can a growth mindset of interest be taught? B. How can a growth mindset of interest be cultivated? C. Meanwhile, a growth mindset of interest comes with many advantages. D. Moreover, most reported that they were not a “math- and- science person” E. They also earned better grades in courses than those receiving the study skills module. F. However, a growth mindset of interest can fuel people's further exploration to different fields. G. For example, students read an article stating the benefits of viewing interests as developable. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讲述了通过研究发现兴趣的成长心态是可以培养的。 【16题详解】 根据上文“If people believe they are limited to only a few particular interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across different dimensions. (如果人们认为自己只局限于几个特定的兴趣,因此不去探索其他领域,他们可能会错过在不同维度上的重要联系。)”以及下文“Those who with a growth mindset are also more likely to be creative when solving problems. (那些拥有成长型思维的人在解决问题时也更有可能具有创造性。)”可知，空处要讲述相反的情况，与下文内容相符，所以选项F“然而，兴趣的成长心态可以推动人们对不同领域的进一步探索。”符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 空处为段落主题。根据本段内容“In June, we published findings from an intervention that succeeded in that aim. In two studies involving more than 700 first- year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing how our participants saw themselves. The majority held strong interests in the arts, humanities and social sciences. (今年6月，我们发表了一项成功实现这一目标的干预研究结果。在涉及700多名文科一年级本科生的两项研究中，我们首先评估了参与者如何看待自己。大多数人对艺术、人文和社会科学有着浓厚的兴趣。)”可知本段讲述了对培养兴趣的成长心态的研究结果。所以选项A“那么，可以培养兴趣的成长心态吗? ”符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The majority held strong interests in the arts, humanities and social sciences. (大多数人对艺术,人文和社会科学有着浓厚的兴趣。)”可知下文可能是对理科的看法，与前文形成对比。所以选项D“此外,大多数人表示他们不是“数学和科学的人””符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Our intervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think about interests and passions as cultivated rather than as simply found and fixed. (我们的干预包括阅读和反思性写作活动帮助学生将兴趣和激情视为培养出来的，而不是简单地发现和固定下来的。)”可知，下文可能要具体说明做法,所以选项G“例如学生们读了一篇文章,阐述了将兴趣视为发展能力的好处。”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“By the end of the year, students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required math and science courses than those who received the study skills module—— and this boost was particularly apparent among students who initially reported that they were not a“ math- and- science person”. (到年底, 接受干预的学生比接受学习技能模块的学生对他们的必修数学和科学课程更感兴趣，这种提升在最初报告自己不是“数学和科学人”的学生中尤为明显。)”以及下文“These students became more skilled in math and science and grew into interdisciplinary(跨学科的) scholars. (这些学生在数学和科学方面变得更加熟练，成长为跨学科的学者。)”可知此处都是说接受干预的学生获得的益处，所以选项E“他们在课程中的成绩也比学习技能模块的学生好。”符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At age sixty-one, “Daddy” Bruce Randolph opened Daddy Bruce’s Barbecue Restaurant in the “Five Points” area, a poor section of Denver.

Stunned by a wide array of delicate ceramics, I embarked on my first attempt at a vase under the guidance of a seasoned craftsman.

But most importantly we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans‘ cabin light. One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to venture into the unexplored trails of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect getaway. Little did we know that our casual hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever engraved in our memories. We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding trails. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and marveled at the beauty of nature around us. As we trekked through the dense forests, taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our veins. The trail was rugged and uneven, but we persevered through the challenging landscape. Midway through our expedition, we stumbled upon a breathtaking waterfall, its glistening waters cascading down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall enveloped us, and we felt refreshed and energetic. As the day wore on, we ventured deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that just didn't notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest. Panicking, we scrambled to find our way back but the dense vegetation and winding trails only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back, No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear trails than something worse happened. 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。 Para.1:Suddenly, the weather took an abrupt turn. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2:Just when we were about to give up, a faint light flickered in the distance _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, the weather took an abrupt turn. Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and a heavy downpour ensued. The comforting forest sounds quickly proved a terrifying symphony of thunder and wind. The trail that was once so clear became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on. We tried to consult our map, but it was too late; we got lost in the wildness. Hours passing, our attempts to find the trail turned out to be in vain. With the cold creeping in, despair started to set in. Just when we were about to give up, a faint light flickered in the distance. Curiosity overpowered our fear, and we decided to follow it. When we drew nearer, we saw a small log cabin, lights shining from its windows. Knocking on the door, an elderly woman, Mrs. Evans, welcomed us with a warm smile. She was a retired ranger who had chosen to live her twilight years in the heart of the mountains. She offered us shelter for the night, and the next morning, guided us back to the main trail. This incident strengthened our friendship and taught us the importance of resilience and hope. The experience was beyond expectation, terrifying, but enlightening all the same. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。作者和朋友去远足，被山里的美景吸引，但是突然发现迷路了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“突然，天气急转直下。”可知，第一段可以描写暴风雨来临后，人们更加艰难，此时人们的心理活动和行动。 ②由第二段句首内容“就在我们快要放弃的时候，一道微弱的灯光在远处闪烁。”可知，第二段可以描写人们朝着灯光的方向行进时的心情，灯光的源头是什么，人们怎么找到回家的路，以及韧性和希望的重要性。 2.续写线索：雨中行走—寒冷无助—看到灯光—朝光行走—被接待—找到路—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①向前走：go on/go ahead ②参照：consult/refer to ③迷路：get lost/lose one’s way/miss one’s way 情绪类 ①绝望：despair/hopelessness ②害怕：fear/scare/anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】The trail that was once so clear became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on.( 运用了that引导的定语从句和现在分词making做结果状语) 【高分句型2】 Hours passing, our attempt s to find the trail turned out to be in vain.

B When Areej El-Jawahri, a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, signed the contract to purchase the house specially designed to fit the needs of multigenerational (多代的) residents, she knew she wanted her parents, who then lived in Michigan, to join her. “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.” 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. “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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 people talk about suddenly remembering old memories , the memories they’ re referring to are usually episodic (情景的) memories. As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life. Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know. Usually the recall of episodic and semantic memories has easily identifiable triggers (诱因) in our context. Context includes our physical surroundings as well as the aspects of our mental state, such as thoughts and feelings. For example, you’re eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. When someone says the word “Oscar”, the name of the movie that won the Oscar recently flashes in your mind. That belongs to semantic memory. These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they’ve been called mind-pops (闪念). Mind-pops shouldn’t be confused with insight, which is the sudden pop ping up of a potential solution to a complex problem in the mind. Thus, mind- pops are semantic or autobiographical memories that suddenly flash in our minds without an easily identifiable trigger. Mind-pops may comprise any piece of information, be it an image, a sound, or a word. They’re often experienced by people when they’re engaged in mundane tasks like mopping the floor or brushing teeth. Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind. For example, you’re reading a book, and suddenly, the image of your school corridor pops into your mind for no reason. What you were reading or thinking at the time had no connection to your school. I do experience mind-pops from time to time. But when I tried to look for cues in my con text that may have triggered my mind-pops, I would fail. Maybe such mind-pops are completely random. 8. Which of the following might be episodic memory? A. You predict a heavy rain is on the way. B. A good idea flashes into your mind suddenly. C. A song reminds you of your middle school graduation. D. You think of a round shape when hearing the word “circle”. 9. What is a feature of mind-pops? A. They have obvious triggers. B. They come out without warning. C. They appear in the form of images. D. They often bring long- lasting memories. 10. What does the underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Careful. B. Dull. C. Necessary. D. Challenging. 11. What is the aim of this passage? A. To explore human inner thoughts. B. To point out the memory formation. C. To distinguish different memory scenes. D. To explain some similar memory phenomena. D A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators.

If people believe they are limited to only a few particular interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across different dimensions. ____16____ Those who with a growth mindset are also more likely to be creative when solving problems. ____17____ In June, we published findings from an intervention that succeeded in that aim. In two studies involving more than 700 first- year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing how our participants saw themselves. The majority held strong interests in the arts, humanities and social sciences. ____18____ We then randomly assigned students to either our intervention or a study skills module. Our intervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think about interests and passions as cultivated rather than as simply found and fixed. ____19____ The study skills module had a similar set of exercises but with an emphasis on building classic skills, such as time management and active learning. These students were required to take at least one math and science course during their first year. That meant we could check how the intervention may have influenced their perspectives on math and science. By the end of the year, students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required math and science courses than those who received the study skills module —— and this boost was particularly apparent among students who initially reported that they were not a“ math- and- science person”. ____20____ These students became more skilled in math and science and grew into interdisciplinary (跨学科的) scholars. A. So can a growth mindset of interest be taught? B. How can a growth mindset of interest be cultivated? C. Meanwhile, a growth mindset of interest comes with many advantages. D. Moreover, most reported that they were not a “math- and- science person” E. They also earned better grades in courses than those receiving the study skills module. F. However, a growth mindset of interest can fuel people's further exploration to different fields. G. For example, students read an article stating the benefits of viewing interests as developable. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At age sixty-one, “Daddy” Bruce Randolph opened Daddy Bruce’s Barbecue Restaurant in the “Five Points” area, a poor section of Denver.

But most importantly we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans‘ cabin light. One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to venture into the unexplored trails of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect getaway. Little did we know that our casual hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever engraved in our memories. We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding trails. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and marveled at the beauty of nature around us. As we trekked through the dense forests, taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our veins. The trail was rugged and uneven, but we persevered through the challenging landscape. Midway through our expedition, we stumbled upon a breathtaking waterfall, its glistening waters cascading down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall enveloped us, and we felt refreshed and energetic. As the day wore on, we ventured deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that just didn't notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest. Panicking, we scrambled to find our way back but the dense vegetation and winding trails only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back, No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear trails than something worse happened. 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。 Para.1:Suddenly, the weather took an abrupt turn. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2:Just when we were about to give up, a faint light flickered in the distance _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：BABAC CABCC CBCAA CABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
