B Gobble,gobble,grab your turkey baster,it's Thanksgiving.Canadian Thanksgiving,that is.Though the US version takes place on the fourth Thursday of November,Canada celebrates on the second Monday of October,which this year falls on October 14.For more insights into this annual great feast,we reached out to Andrew McIntosh,senior subject editor with the Canadian Encyclopedia. Naturally,we first had to address a question often asked by Americans-why does Canada celebrate Thanksgiving in October instead of November?Historically,he says,Thanksgiving in Canada has generally been about celebrating the fall harvest and giving thanks for the food it provides before the cold season sets in."Winter comes a lot earlier in Canada,so our fall harvest happens earlier,too,"he says. "Canadian Thanksgiving was set as the second Monday in October,when the weather is still amenable to outdoor activities,in 1957."But the country was celebrating long before that. The first official Thanksgiving holiday took place in 1879,and in the following years,it didn't always happen in October."The exact date for each year was determined annually by Parliament,which also assigned a unifying theme each year-it often centered around celebrating the monarchy,"says McIntosh. Interestingly,he notes the holiday occurred as late in the year as December 6 and even coincided with American Thanksgiving a few times.As for the present day,some Canadians- including this writer's extended family-opt to host their Thanksgiving meal the day before the official Monday holiday,allowing those who drove or flew in for the long weekend time to journey back home and not have to take an extra day off work. 24.Why does Canada celebrate Thanksgiving in October instead of November? A.Because Canadians want to follow the historical convention. B.Because winter comes earlier. C.Because Canadians are accustomed to it. D.Because cold weather comes slower. 英语·第5页（共12页） 口■口正 25.Which best explains the underlined word in the third paragraph? A.Adaptable B.Suitable. C.Affordable. D.Imaginable. 26 Why do some Canadians host their Thanksgiving meal in advance? A.Because it is economical for them to do so. B.Because they are extremely homesick. C.Because they want to earn more money. D.Because they can go back to work in time. 27.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Thanksgiving in America B.The Differences of Thanksgiving in USA and Canada C.Thanksgiving in Canada D.The Origins of Thanksgiving in America and Canada C The non-invasive therapy,known as transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS),is designed to stimulate areas of the brain linked to mood regulation by delivering a painless,weak electrical current through electrodes placed on the scalp () In the trial,Fu and her colleagues trained 120 women and 54 men,all of whom had been diagnosed with a major depressive disorder,to use the TDCS headset and randomly allocated people to either the treatment or a control group.Those in the treatment group received a current of 2 milliamperes to the scalp-about 0.5%of the amount drawn by a 100-watt light bulb- for 30 minutes,5 times a week for the first 3 weeks,then,3 times a week for 7 weeks. Participants in the control group wore a sham (headset,only delivering a brief pulse of current at the start of each session,imitating the feeling of real TDCS without providing the same stimulation,which can reduce errors of the experiment significantly. After 10 weeks,the treatment group's scores on a scale that measures depression symptoms dropped by 9.41 points,whereas the control group's score decreased by 7.14 points.Nearly 45%of participants with the active TDCS device experienced a reduction in or recovery from their symptoms,compared with almost 22%of those with a sham device. Although these results are encouraging,previous research has suggested that TDCS doesn't work for everyone.The next step should be to understand why TDCS works for some people but not others,and to look for ways to personalize the treatment,he adds."Different people need different dosages." ]口■■ 英语·第6页（共12页） "Three decades ago,I wouldn't have thought that this stimulation does anything on the brain,"says Padberg.But now it is known that TDCS affects brain activity,"I'm pretty sure that an optimized(最优化的)method will make it to clinical care one day,”he says.. 28.What is the aim of TDCS? A.Delivering a painful,weak electrical current on the scalp. B.Stimulating the areas of the brain related to mood management. C.Treating people without feelings. D.Testing whether a current is effective in healing depression. 29.What can we infer from the experiment? A.Not all participants were suffering from depression. B.The number of men and women in the experiment was identical. C.Those in the treatment group received a current for 36 times. D.The sham headset could guarantee the accuracy of the experiment. 30.What will be mentioned in the following research? A.Different amounts to different people. B.The reasons why TDCS just works for all people. C.The promotion of the treatment. D.The cost of the devices in the experiment. 31.What is Padberg's attitude to the future of TDCS? A.Ambiguous. B.Doubtful. C.Optimistic. D.Pessimistic. D Finding fulfilment at the end of life is not that unusual,as it's possible to feel happiness alongside sadness,and other seemingly conflicting emotions.Simon Boas,who wrote a candid account of living with cancer,passed away on July 15 at the age of 47.He told the reporter: "My pain is under control and I'm terribly happy-it sounds weird to say,but I'm as happy as I've ever been in my life." It may seem odd that a person could be happy as the end draws near,but in my experience as a clinical psychologist working with people at the end of their lives,it's not that uncommon. There is quite a lot of research suggesting that fear of death is at the unconscious centre of being human.William James,an American philosopher,called the knowledge that we must die "the worm at the core"of the human condition. 英语·第7页（共12页） 口■口 But a study in Psychological Science shows that people nearing death use more positive language to describe their experience than those who just imagine death.This suggests that the experience of dying is more pleasant-or,at least,less unpleasant-than we might picture it. In the BBC interview,Boas shared some of the insights that helped him come to accept his situation.He mentioned the importance of enjoying life and prioritising meaningful experiences, suggesting that acknowledging death can enhance our appreciation for life. Despite the pain and difficulties,Boas seemed cheerful,hoping his attitude would support his wife and parents during the difficult times ahead.Boas's words echo the Roman philosopher Seneca who advised that:"To have lived long enough depends neither upon our years nor upon our days.but upor our minds." A more recent thinker expressing similar sentiments is the psychiatrist Viktor Frankl who laid the groundwork for a form of existential psychotherapy.Its most recent adaptation is meaning-centred psychotherapy,which offers people with cancer a way to improve their sense of meaning. 32.How did Simon Boas feel as his death was around the corner? A.Upset. B.Appreciative C.Desperate. D.Delighted. 33.What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.Death is the core in people's lives. B.Everyone holds fear in their hearts. C.There are worms in people's hearts. D.Human beings can find ways to extend life span. 34.What can we learn from Boas? A.Ignoring death can promote our gratitude for life. B.It is our mind that decides how long we can live. C.To have lived long enough depends on our achievements. D.Our years and days decide who we are. 35.What does the text mainly talk about? A.The life of Simon Boas living with cancer. B.Things to make people happy when they are dying. C.People's tendency to feel happy when they are dying. D.Ways of enhancing people's sense of meaning. 口口■■ 英语·第8页（共12页） 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 The Future of AI Might Look A Lot Like Twitter Have you ever shared a serious opinion on social media,only to receive no response-or worse,be made fun of?6 At first glance,SocialAI seems like any other social media platform.37 However,the key difference is that you're the only real person on the platform;everyone else you interact with is an AI bot. You can customize different personas,such as“supporters”,“nerds”,“skeptics”, “visionaries'”,or“ideators'”Thousands of bots will like and cemment on each of your tweets, with responses that appear to come from real people.B8 However,many users have discovered that the bots tend to respond in a standard format,offering comments that lack real depth and are shaped by their assigned personas.39 0"SocialAI is designed to give people a space for reflection,support,and feedback that acts like a close-knit community,"he wrote in a tweet.However,he acknowledged,"I know this app won't solve all of life's problems,but I hope it can be a small tool for others to reflect,to grow,and to feel seen." A.Sounds great,doesn't it? B.You can post tweets,follow others,and gain followers in return. C.But most of all,it's an attempt to build an entirely new way to interact with AI models D.After years of waiting and months of testing the latest models,Sayman invented SocialAI. E.The app's creator,Michael Sayman,explained that he developed SocialAI to help people feel heard. F.This can make users feel as if they're living in a simulation（模拟世界)，much like the setting of the 1998 movie The Truman Show. C.A new app called SocialAI has emerged to potentially ease such awkward moments and disappointment. 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。 英语·第9页（共12页） I was heading for Florence for a coffee roasting class.My travel habits were and 41 are just to go with the flow.My only plan was to take a public trolley to the class.How difficult could that be?Well,it was.I got lost and couldn't find the stop It was the middle of summer.I was hungry,42 and hot.With only 20 minutes left to reach my class,I found an underground shopping area,sat on a cool bench and 43 learning coffee roasting from YouTube.I regretted my 44 of planning and felt 45 for going with the crowd in a(n)46 place.Just as I 47 defeat,I noticed a tunnel with sunlight streaming through.I walked up and found the trolley stop I was looking for,tears 48 in my eyes.
