(A) I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave. On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulfof Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes. That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate (撤离) ahead of the storm. In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.” It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away. When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky — we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks. 36. The author moved to Asheville, N.C. to _______. A. get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B. find a new job in South Carolina C. live near the French Broad River D. flee California’s drought and wildfire 37.

Timely access to information is important during a disaster. B. The treatment plant is supposed to be built deep underwater. C. People must depend on neighbors for survival in a disaster. D. Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community. 39. What is the best title of the passage? A Consequences of a hurricane B. Measures against the disaster C. A new beginning in Asheville D. An account of a climate refugee (B) Ready to make something beautiful?

A. ①②④③ B. ②①④③ C. ②①③④ D. ①②③④ (C) In sociology, consumption is about so much more than just taking in or using up resources. Humans consume to survive, of course, but in today’s world, we also consume to entertain and amuse ourselves, and as a way to share time and experiences with others. We consume not only material goods but also services, experiences, information, and cultural products. Consumption today is a central organizing principle of social life. Sociologists recognize that many aspects of our daily lives are structured by consumption. In fact, Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman wrote in the book Consuming Life that Western societies are no longer organized around the act of production, but instead, around consumption. This transition began in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, after which most production jobs were moved overseas, and our economy shifted to retail and the provision of services and information. As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book. Who can break free from it? Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. We often organize visits with others around the act of consuming, whether that be sitting down to eat a home-cooked meal as a family, or meeting friends for a shopping excursion at the mall. In addition, we often use consumer goods to express our feelings for others through the practice of gift-giving. Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities. In Subculture: The Meaning of Style, sociologist Dick Hebdige observed that identity is often expressed through fashion choices. This happens because we choose consumer goods that we feel say something about who we are. Our consumer choices are often meant to reflect our values and lifestyle, and in doing so, send visual signals to others about the kind of person we are. So, from the sociological perspective, there’s much more to consumption than meets the eye. In fact, there’s so much to study about consumption that there’s a whole subfield dedicated to it: the sociology of consumption. 43. What was the change in the United States in the mid-twentieth century? A. A shift to local production. B. A growth of overseas consumption. C. A focus on retail and services. D. A decline in the value of consumption. 44. The author presents a person’s daily life in paragraph 3 in order to ________. A. encourage people to spend more time working than consuming. B show the variety of consumer products available on the market. C. suggest that producing goods is no longer part of modern life. D. highlight the constant presence of consumption in people’s life. 45. What can be inferred about consumption in paragraph 4 and 5? A. It discourages gift-giving. B. It conveys individuality. C. It defines culture. D. It sets the fashion trends. 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The divided opinions on consumption. B. The effects of consumerism on people’s life. C. The philosophy of consumption in social life. D. The balance between consumption and production. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Orangutan treats his wound with a medicinal plant In a new paper, researchers describe how a male orangutan (红毛猩猩) chewed the leaves of a plant used in traditional medicine and applied them to a wound on his cheek. ____47____ In June 2022, the researchers observed a male Sumatran orangutan, known as Rakus, with a fresh wound on his cheek. ____48____ He chewed the leaves of a plant and then applied the resulting juices directly onto his facial wound. He repeated this behavior for seven minutes and then, as a last step, fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. He then continued feeding on the plant for 30 minutes. Over the following days, there were no signs of infection. The wound closed within five days. “What is interesting is that this behavior seems to be intentional and goal-oriented.” says study lead author Isabelle Laumer, a cognitive biologist in Germany. “He precisely applied the plant matter to his wound several times over a prolonged period. ____49____” Self-medication has been documented in multiple wild primate (灵长类) species, but not applying them to recent wounds. There is only one other study of active wound treatment by great apes. Several years ago, researchers reported one population of chimpanzees in Gabon, applied flying insects to their own wounds. However, the researchers could not identify the insects or make any conclusions about the effectiveness of the treatment. ____50____ Perhaps he accidentally touched a wound while feeding on a plant and experienced its analgesic (镇痛的) effects, causing him to repeat the behavior. It is also possible that Rakus previously learned the behavior from other orangutans, since young orangutans rely on social learning to acquire the skills necessary for adult life. A. Three days later, they saw an interesting chain of events. B. And he selectively treated his wound and not any other body parts. C. Rakus may have observed his mother demonstrating how to treat wounds. D. Laumer and colleagues do not know how or where this behavior originated. E. The findings may provide insights into the evolution of this behavior among humans. F. It’s the first report of suspected wound treatment by a wild animal using a plant with known medicinal properties. III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Why can’t adults talk normally to babies? In scientific literature, baby talk is called “parentese”, and is a unique way of communicating with babies. It often involves using repetitive and exaggerated sounds, such as “cooing” and “goo-goo,” along with using diminutive words like “baby,” “binky,” or “blankie.” Adults also tend to speak more slowly and emphasize key words or phrases when engaging in baby talk. What’s the point of using such a ridiculous style of talking with babies? Why not just talk to a baby with normal speech, like we’d talk to another adult, or even a 5-year-old child? Primarily, we use baby talk to capture the baby’s attention. The dramatic vocalizations and facial expressions serve to engage the child’s focus by being distinct from all the other noise and visual stimuli around the baby. Remember, the brain of a newborn baby is still developing and needs different cues to engage and learn something. Baby talk also helps to establish an emotional connection between the adult and the baby. The gentle tone conveys affection, love, and care. As a result, in a way, it reassures the child by giving him a sense of security. Interestingly, there was a study where researchers tested 2,329 babies from 16 countries on their preference for this lively vocalization. Babies clearly prefer it when we “ooh” and “coo”. The study also revealed that babies from almost all cultures have an inborn love for baby talk. Baby talk tells the infants, “Hey! This speech is only for you, since you’re special,” and who doesn’t love that? It melts their sweet little hearts and warms ours. To support your baby’s development, try using baby talk regularly. Use a playful tone, make eye contact, and emphasize key words. These simple actions strengthen bonds and work a lot for their development. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave. On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulfof Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes. That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate (撤离) ahead of the storm. In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.” It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away. When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky — we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks. 36. The author moved to Asheville, N.C. to _______. A. get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B. find a new job in South Carolina C. live near the French Broad River D. flee California’s drought and wildfire 37. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean? A. The family realized the pleasure of playing with LEGOs. B. The family decided to stay in the house despite the danger. C. The family felt alarmed at the sight of the tree crashing down. D. The family became more at ease about the situation at that time. 38. What can be inferred from paragragh 5? A. Timely access to information is important during a disaster. B. The treatment plant is supposed to be built deep underwater. C. People must depend on neighbors for survival in a disaster. D. Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community. 39. What is the best title of the passage? A. Consequences of a hurricane B. Measures against the disaster C. A new beginning in Asheville D. An account of a climate refugee 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了从加州搬到阿什维尔寻求气候安全，却因飓风导致被迫再次迁移的经历，反映了气候变化下人们生活的艰难与无奈。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the ‘climate shelter’ of Asheville, N.C.(我没准备好成为气候难民。我的家人从干旱和野火肆虐的加州搬到了北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔的“气候避难所”)”可知，作者搬到北卡罗来纳州的阿什维尔是为了逃离加利福尼亚州的干旱和野火。故选D。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中提到的大松树砸到屋顶上，特别是“a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs(一棵大松树砸在了我小儿子卧室上方的屋顶上，而他当时正在玩乐高)”，以及随后提到的儿子未受伤但这一事件“drove home the severity of what was happening around us(让我们意识到我们周围发生的事情的严重性)”可推知，这句话意味着家人在看到树倒下的情景时感到惊恐。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service.(很难获得关于阿什维尔情况的信息。几个小时之内，我们就失去了电力、网络甚至手机服务)”可知，在灾难期间，很难获取阿什维尔的信息，几小时内就失去了电力、互联网甚至手机服务，说明在灾难期间及时获取信息是很重要的。故选A。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee.(我没准备好成为气候难民)”以及后文描述作者一家因气候灾害而被迫离开阿什维尔，可知文章主要讲述了作者作为一名气候难民的经历，因此最适合的标题是“An account of a climate refugee(一名气候难民的叙述)”。故选D。 (B) Ready to make something beautiful? Padlet is a valuable education tool specifically created for teachers to upload, organize, and share content, keeping it all in one place with virtual boards called “padlets”.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一个专门为教师创建的课堂互动工具——Padlet。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中Padlet对应的“Multimedia integration(多媒体集成)”和“Interactivity(交互性)”可知，Padlet适合参与音频、视频和互动任务的学习者。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据Share部分中“Secret-Password: Only people with the link and password can access this padlet.(密码：只有拥有链接和密码的人才能访问padlet)”可知，在课程开始时，有几个学生无法访问Padlet，可能是因为他们在课堂上输入错误的链接密码。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据Teacher Workflow部分中“Generate a QR code or share the board link with students.(生成QR码或与学生分享展板链接)”、“Provide feedback directly on the board or facilitate a discussion based on submissions.(直接在白板上提供反馈或促进基于提交情况的讨论)”和“Evaluate students’ contributions. Optionally, use the board for presentations or group reflections.(评估学生的贡献。选择性使用该板进行演示或小组反思)”可知，教师会生成QR码或与学生分享展板链接，故学习者对Padlet的创建的响应顺序是首先通过共享链接或二维码注册并加入论坛；然后教师直接在白板上提供反馈或促进基于提交情况的讨论，说明学生要添加帖子然后互相讨论；最后教师会评估学生的贡献并选择性使用该板进行演示或小组反思，推断学生可根据评论润色自己提交的内容，且在必要时组织条目。故正确的顺序是②①④③。故选B。 (C) In sociology, consumption is about so much more than just taking in or using up resources. Humans consume to survive, of course, but in today’s world, we also consume to entertain and amuse ourselves, and as a way to share time and experiences with others. We consume not only material goods but also services, experiences, information, and cultural products. Consumption today is a central organizing principle of social life. Sociologists recognize that many aspects of our daily lives are structured by consumption. In fact, Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman wrote in the book Consuming Life that Western societies are no longer organized around the act of production, but instead, around consumption. This transition began in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, after which most production jobs were moved overseas, and our economy shifted to retail and the provision of services and information. As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book. Who can break free from it? Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. We often organize visits with others around the act of consuming, whether that be sitting down to eat a home-cooked meal as a family, or meeting friends for a shopping excursion at the mall. In addition, we often use consumer goods to express our feelings for others through the practice of gift-giving. Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities. In Subculture: The Meaning of Style, sociologist Dick Hebdige observed that identity is often expressed through fashion choices. This happens because we choose consumer goods that we feel say something about who we are. Our consumer choices are often meant to reflect our values and lifestyle, and in doing so, send visual signals to others about the kind of person we are. So, from the sociological perspective, there’s much more to consumption than meets the eye. In fact, there’s so much to study about consumption that there’s a whole subfield dedicated to it: the sociology of consumption. 43. What was the change in the United States in the mid-twentieth century? A. A shift to local production. B. A growth of overseas consumption. C. A focus on retail and services. D. A decline in the value of consumption. 44. The author presents a person’s daily life in paragraph 3 in order to ________. A. encourage people to spend more time working than consuming. B. show the variety of consumer products available on the market. C. suggest that producing goods is no longer part of modern life. D. highlight the constant presence of consumption in people’s life. 45. What can be inferred about consumption in paragraph 4 and 5? A. It discourages gift-giving. B. It conveys individuality. C. It defines culture. D. It sets the fashion trends. 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The divided opinions on consumption. B. The effects of consumerism on people’s life. C. The philosophy of consumption in social life. D. The balance between consumption and production. 【答案】43. C 44. D 45. B 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文从社会学角度阐述了消费的含义及其在现代社会中的重要性。文章还指出，消费在人际关系、个人与群体身份的形成和表达中扮演着重要角色。因此，社会学中对消费的研究形成了一个专门的子领域：消费社会学。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“This transition began in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, after which most production jobs were moved overseas, and our economy shifted to retail and the provision of services and information.(这一转变始于20世纪中期的美国，之后大多数生产工作都转移到了海外，我们的经济转向了零售以及服务和信息的提供。)”可知，20世纪中期，美国的经济重心从生产转向了零售和服务业。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. (因此，我们大多数人每天都在消费而不是生产商品。)”以及“On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book.( 在任何一天，人们都可能开车去上班；在一个需要电、气、油、水、纸和大量消费电子产品和数字产品的办公室工作；买一杯茶、咖啡或苏打水；去餐馆；取干洗衣物；在药店购买保健和卫生用品；用买来的杂货准备晚餐，然后晚上看电视，享受社交媒体，或者看书。)”可知，本段通过列举一个人一天中可能进行的各种消费活动，展示了消费在人们日常生活中的无处不在。因此，作者这样做的目的是为了强调消费在人们生活中的持续存在，选项D“highlight the constant presence of consumption in people’s life(强调消费在人们生活中的持续存在)”符合题意。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段提到“Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. (消费在我们与他人建立的关系中扮演着重要角色。)”以及第五段中提到的“Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities.(社会学家也认为消费是形成和表达个人和群体身份过程的重要组成部分。)”可知，消费在我们与他人建立的关系中扮演着重要角色，以及消费是形成和表达个人和群体身份过程的重要组成部分即消费能够传达个性，故选B。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In sociology, consumption is about so much more than just taking in or using up resources.(在社会学中，消费不仅仅是摄取或使用资源那么简单。)”，接着文章从多个方面阐述了消费在社会生活中的重要性，第四段提到“Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. (消费在我们与他人建立的关系中扮演着重要角色。)”以及第五段中提到的“Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities.(社会学家也认为消费是形成和表达个人和群体身份过程的重要组成部分。)”即文章指出了消费如何塑造和表达个人及群体身份、消费在人际关系中的重要性等；同时根据最后一段“So, from the sociological perspective, there’s much more to consumption than meets the eye. In fact, there’s so much to study about consumption that there’s a whole subfield dedicated to it: the sociology of consumption.(因此，从社会学的角度来看，消费的意义远不止表面所见。事实上，关于消费的研究非常多，以至于有一个专门研究它的子领域：消费社会学。)”。因此，本文从社会学角度阐述了消费的含义及其在现代社会中的重要性，由此阐述了消费在社会生活中的哲学。C选项“The philosophy of consumption in social life.(消费在社会生活中的哲学)”概括文章主要内容，符合题意，故选C。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Orangutan treats his wound with a medicinal plant In a new paper, researchers describe how a male orangutan (红毛猩猩) chewed the leaves of a plant used in traditional medicine and applied them to a wound on his cheek. ____47____ In June 2022, the researchers observed a male Sumatran orangutan, known as Rakus, with a fresh wound on his cheek. ____48____ He chewed the leaves of a plant and then applied the resulting juices directly onto his facial wound. He repeated this behavior for seven minutes and then, as a last step, fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. He then continued feeding on the plant for 30 minutes. Over the following days, there were no signs of infection. The wound closed within five days. “What is interesting is that this behavior seems to be intentional and goal-oriented.” says study lead author Isabelle Laumer, a cognitive biologist in Germany. “He precisely applied the plant matter to his wound several times over a prolonged period. ____49____” Self-medication has been documented in multiple wild primate (灵长类) species, but not applying them to recent wounds. There is only one other study of active wound treatment by great apes. Several years ago, researchers reported one population of chimpanzees in Gabon, applied flying insects to their own wounds. However, the researchers could not identify the insects or make any conclusions about the effectiveness of the treatment. ____50____ Perhaps he accidentally touched a wound while feeding on a plant and experienced its analgesic (镇痛的) effects, causing him to repeat the behavior. It is also possible that Rakus previously learned the behavior from other orangutans, since young orangutans rely on social learning to acquire the skills necessary for adult life. A. Three days later, they saw an interesting chain of events. B. And he selectively treated his wound and not any other body parts. C. Rakus may have observed his mother demonstrating how to treat wounds. D. Laumer and colleagues do not know how or where this behavior originated. E. The findings may provide insights into the evolution of this behavior among humans. F. It’s the first report of suspected wound treatment by a wild animal using a plant with known medicinal properties. 【答案】47. F 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员发现猩猩会通过药用植物来治疗伤口。 【47题详解】 根据上文“In a new paper, researchers describe how a male orangutan (红毛猩猩) chewed the leaves of a plant used in traditional medicine and applied them to a wound on his cheek.(在一篇新的论文中，研究人员描述了一只红毛猩猩是如何咀嚼一种传统药材的叶子，并将它们涂在脸颊上的伤口上的)”可知，上文描述了红毛猩猩擦药的场景，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明这一现象的意义。故F选项“这是首个疑似野生动物使用已知药用植物治疗伤口的报道”符合语境，故选F。 【48题详解】 根据上文“In June 2022, the researchers observed a male Sumatran orangutan, known as Rakus, with a fresh wound on his cheek.(在2022年6月，研究人员观察到一只名为Rakus的雄性苏门答腊猩猩，他的脸颊上有一个新伤口)”以及后文“He chewed the leaves of a plant and then applied the resulting juices directly onto his facial wound. He repeated this behavior for seven minutes and then, as a last step, fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. He then continued feeding on the plant for 30 minutes. Over the following days, there were no signs of infection. The wound closed within five days.(他咀嚼一种植物的叶子，然后将产生的汁液直接涂在脸上的伤口上。他重复了这个动作七分钟，然后，作为最后一步，用咀嚼过的叶子完全覆盖伤口。然后他继续吃这棵植物30分钟。在接下来的几天里，没有任何感染的迹象。伤口在五天内愈合了)”可知，上文提到研究人员观察到猩猩脸上有伤口，后文描述了猩猩开始擦药，说明研究人员继续观察这一猩猩的情况。故A选项“三天后，他们看到了一系列有趣的事件”符合语境，故选A。 【49题详解】 根据上文““What is interesting is that this behavior seems to be intentional and goal-oriented.” says study lead author Isabelle Laumer, a cognitive biologist in Germany. “He precisely applied the plant matter to his wound several times over a prolonged period.(“有趣的是，这种行为似乎是有意的，是有目标的。该研究的主要作者、德国认知生物学家伊莎贝尔·劳默说。“在很长一段时间内，他多次精确地将植物物质涂在伤口上。)”可知，后文提到猩猩的行为是有目标的，说明治疗针对的是伤口这一目标。故B选项“他有选择性地治疗了他的伤口，而不是身体的其他部位”符合语境，故选B。 【50题详解】 根据后文“Perhaps he accidentally touched a wound while feeding on a plant and experienced its analgesic (镇痛的) effects, causing him to repeat the behavior. It is also possible that Rakus previously learned the behavior from other orangutans, since young orangutans rely on social learning to acquire the skills necessary for adult life.(也许他在吃植物时不小心碰伤了伤口，体验到了植物的止痛效果，导致他重复了这种行为。也有可能Rakus之前从其他猩猩那里学到了这种行为，因为年轻的猩猩依靠社会学习来获得成年生活所必需的技能)”可知，本段主要说明了研究人员就猩猩这一治疗行为的起因进行了猜测。故D选项“Laumer和他的同事们不知道这种行为是如何或从哪里开始的”符合语境，故选D。 III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Why can’t adults talk normally to babies? In scientific literature, baby talk is called “parentese”, and is a unique way of communicating with babies. It often involves using repetitive and exaggerated sounds, such as “cooing” and “goo-goo,” along with using diminutive words like “baby,” “binky,” or “blankie.” Adults also tend to speak more slowly and emphasize key words or phrases when engaging in baby talk. What’s the point of using such a ridiculous style of talking with babies? Why not just talk to a baby with normal speech, like we’d talk to another adult, or even a 5-year-old child? Primarily, we use baby talk to capture the baby’s attention. The dramatic vocalizations and facial expressions serve to engage the child’s focus by being distinct from all the other noise and visual stimuli around the baby. Remember, the brain of a newborn baby is still developing and needs different cues to engage and learn something. Baby talk also helps to establish an emotional connection between the adult and the baby. The gentle tone conveys affection, love, and care. As a result, in a way, it reassures the child by giving him a sense of security. Interestingly, there was a study where researchers tested 2,329 babies from 16 countries on their preference for this lively vocalization. Babies clearly prefer it when we “ooh” and “coo”. The study also revealed that babies from almost all cultures have an inborn love for baby talk. Baby talk tells the infants, “Hey! This speech is only for you, since you’re special,” and who doesn’t love that? It melts their sweet little hearts and warms ours. To support your baby’s development, try using baby talk regularly. Use a playful tone, make eye contact, and emphasize key words. These simple actions strengthen bonds and work a lot for their development. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Adults use baby talk, a distinctive speech, to engage with babies for several reasons. First, it captures their attention through expressive facial expressions and vocalizations. Second, it builds emotional bonds, providing a sense of security. Research indicates that babies, regardless of cultural background, instinctively prefer baby talk. So make it part of your interaction.
