One day, his mother sent him to his friend Emma’s house. He was so excited. When he arrived, he ran off with Emma to play with the toys. After playing for a while, Emma went to bring some snacks, and while she was away, Max accidentally broke her favourite toy, a beautiful doll. Max became scared.

The body can be washed regularly, but what about the brain? A 2013 study might get the answer. Researchers at the University of Rochester in the US studied the brains of mice and discovered that they cleaned themselves while the mice were sleeping. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (脑脊液) in the brain was found to increase noticeably during sleep, washing away waste proteins that had been building up between brain cells during waking hours. This study showed that the brain worked differently when asleep and when awake. This may also explain why we can’t seem to think clearly after a sleepless night, while a good night’s sleep leaves us feeling sharp and refreshed. Another study, published on Oct 31, 2019 in Science, dug a little deeper into our brains’ self-cleaning process. This time, humans were tested instead of mice. Researchers at Boston University in the US observed the brain waves of 13 healthy adults while they were sleeping. They found that every 20 seconds, blood flew out of the brain, making room for a large amount of CSF to come in and “clean”. This process was related to the change in the brain’s slow waves—an electrical activity that happens when we are in deep sleep. Although they were still unsure about how these brain activities were connected, it was exciting enough to find that they were connected. It allowed scientists to piece together possible new explanations for misunderstood diseases. For example, slow-wave sleep has been proven to play a role in strengthening our memories. This may explain why people with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病), whose memories are disordered, often have fewer and weaker slow brainwaves. Based on the 2019 study about CSF, there could be one more explanation for Alzheimer’s: The diseased brains are not clean. Maybe the most important take-home message of the findings is that sleep is a serious thing. We really need to sleep well to keep a healthy brain. 24. What did the 2013 study find? A. Why the brain worked better when asleep. B. How the brain got self-cleaned when asleep. C. How the brain produced waste when awake. D. Why the brain built up proteins when awake. 25. What can we learn about the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the passage? A. The CSF—slow wave connection inspires new ideas for brain disorders. B. Alzheimer’s can be cured with more CSF in the diseased brain. C. The reasons why CSF is connected with slow waves are clear. D. The CSF comes in our brain with blood when people sleep. 26. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Clear Your Mind to Improve Sleep B. Slow Your Brain for a Better Sleep C. Shower Your Brain in a Sound Sleep D. Strengthen Your Memory in a Deep Sleep 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要讲述了在睡眠中大脑是如何自动清洁其中的废料，从而让我们在清醒的时候感觉状态很好。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Researchers at the University of Rochester in the US studied the brains of mice and discovered that they cleaned themselves while the mice were sleeping. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (脑脊液) in the brain was found to increase noticeably during sleep, washing away waste proteins that had been building up between brain cells during waking hours.”可知，2013年的研究发现的是大脑在睡眠时如何自我清洁，因此选项B“大脑在睡眠时如何自我清洁”是正确答案。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的描述，“Maybe the most important take-home message of the findings is that sleep is a serious thing. We really need to sleep well to keep a healthy brain.”以及第五段提到的CSF与大脑慢波活动的关系，可以推断出CSF与慢波的联系为大脑疾病提供了新的思路。因此A选项正确；B选项错误，因为文章没有提到阿尔茨海默病可以通过增加CSF来治愈；C选项错误，因为文章提到科学家们仍然不确定这些大脑活动之间的联系；D选项错误，因为文章提到的是血液流出大脑，为CSF进入腾出空间，而不是CSF随着血液进入大脑。故选A。 【26题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了睡眠时大脑的自我清洁机制，以及这种机制对大脑健康的重要性，强调了睡眠与大脑清洁的关系，A选项“放慢大脑以获得更好的睡眠”不准确；B选项“在酣睡中冲洗你的大脑”表述较片面；D选项“在深度睡眠中增强记忆”只是文章的一部分内容，不能概括全文主旨；C选项最能体现文章核心内容，即“通过睡眠清洁大脑来改善睡眠和大脑健康”。故选C。 D Do you know the weight of 30,000 adult Asian elephants? It’s about 150,000 tons. That’s how much land—based plastic trash is produced by humans across the globe within a single hour, 10 times the amount a century ago, according to World Bank researchers. Yet there are a growing number of young people, whose yearly trash output can be small enough to fit inside an eight—ounce mason jar. Actually, they’re leading a zero—waste lifestyle, a way of living that aims to reduce trash production to as close to zero as possible. They say it saves them money and time and enriches their lives. Kathryn Kellogg is one of them. “We saved about $5,000 a year by shopping for fresh food instead of packaged food, buying wholesale, and making our own cleaners and shopping bags,” says Kellogg, who lives with her husband in a small house in Vallejo, California. Kellogg shares the details of their efforts, along with practical tips and encouragement on her blog goingzerowaste. com, for others looking to a zero—waste lifestyle. “There’s a fear of being left out when you try to do things differently,” Kellogg says. “But it’s not a big change to clean up the dust with a cloth towel instead of a paper towel.” “I think many people are ready to cut their waste,” says Kellogg. However, she doesn’t want them to fixate (痴迷于) on trying to put all their trash into a jar. “Zero—waste is really about trying to minimize (最小化) your trash and making better choices in your life,” she says. “Just do the best you can.” Kellogg suggests many practices that were common before the times of plastics and disposable (一次性的) products. Think cloth napkins and handkerchiefs, vinegar (醋) and water for cleaning, glass meal boxes for left—overs, cloth shopping bags. These, and similar old—school solutions, produce no waste and are cheaper in the long run. “Going zero—waste means questioning what’s normal and thinking outside the box,” Kellogg says. As one example, she mentions that she loves pancakes but hates making them. As a zero—waste blogger, she refused to buy packaged ones at food shops. Finally, she hit on the solution: buy a dozen of fresh—made ones from a local Mexican restaurant. The restaurant was even happy to put the pancakes in Kellogg’s reusable meal box because it saves them money. Living a zero—waste lifestyle is a journey, it doesn’t happen overnight. But it’s worth the effort. Let’s move towards zero waste with small steps. 27. Why does the writer use the example of elephants in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of elephants. B. To introduce a way of recycling trash. C. To show the large amount of plastic trash. D. To describe a result of waste management. 28. Which of the following would Kellogg most probably agree with? A. To buy a chocolate gift box for friends. B. To clean up the dust with a paper towel. C. To keep as much trash as possible in a jar. D. To store the left—overs in a glass lunch box. 29. What does the underlined word “practices” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A. Ways of making common products B. Methods of minimizing daily waste. C. Actions of buying supplies at lower cost. D. Processes of collecting old—school things. 30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To call for the actions of taking on a zero—waste lifestyle. B. To compare some practical tips on a zero—waste lifestyle. C. To discuss the benefits of adopting a zero—waste lifestyle. D. To point out the popularity of living a zero—waste lifestyle. 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了加州的Kathryn Kellogg女士零垃圾的生活方式的形成以及最后成立了公司并想把零垃圾的生活方式分享给其他人。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读第一段可知，文章第一段提到大象的重量是为了通过将30000头成年亚洲象的重量 (约150000吨) 与全球人类在单小时内产生的陆地塑料垃圾量 (也是约150000吨) 进行比较，突出人类在短时间内产生的塑料垃圾数量之巨大，从而引起读者对垃圾问题的重视。故选C。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Think cloth napkins and handkerchiefs, vinegar (醋) and water for cleaning, glass meal boxes for left—overs, cloth shopping bags.”可知，Kellogg建议使用玻璃饭盒来存放剩菜，这是一种减少浪费的做法。故选D。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Kellogg suggests many practices that were common before the times of plastics and disposable (一次性的) products.”可知，文章中提到Kellogg建议了很多在塑料和一次性产品出现之前常见的做法，如使用布餐巾和手帕、用醋和水清洁、用玻璃饭盒存放剩菜等，这些都是为了减少日常垃圾的产生。因此，“practices”指的是在零浪费生活方式中采取的行动或做法，即日常生活中减少浪费的行为方式。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过介绍零浪费生活方式的好处，以及Kellogg的实践经验，来鼓励读者采取行动，减少浪费，向零浪费生活方式转变。因此，A选项“呼吁采取零浪费生活方式的行动”最符合作者的写作目的。故选A。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 五、阅读表达（第31—33题每题2分，第34题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Imagine watching a movie in a foreign language or attending a lecture where the speaker talks fast, the subtitles (字幕) appear directly on your glasses. Isn’t that amazing? Recently, an ordinary yet “magical” pair of glasses—the AR Smart Glasses—has hit the market, which goes far beyond regular translation tools by offering hands—free, screen—free, real—time interactive translation. The AR Smart Glasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They look just like regular glasses, but the “magic” hidden within them can’t be ignored (忽视). The coolest feature (特色) of the AR Smart Glasses is their special translator. When people talk with someone, they can just point the glasses’ camera at the person they’re talking to, and the translation appears on the screen. When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses, they can simply look at any text, and a translation quickly appears in their view. If they get lost and need directions, the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes. Even for language learners, it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously (同步地) Learning a language can become quicker, easier, and more certain. Since translation tools like the AR Smart Glasses help people understand words easily, some people start to question whether it’s still necessary to learn English, or any other foreign languages. In fact, knowing a new language is more than just that. When you speak a language fluently, you understand the way people talk, the jokes they make, and the special meanings behind their words. This helps you connect with people better and make real friends. Also, being able to speak more than one language makes you smarter. It helps you think in new ways and solve problems more easily. In a word, learning a language isn’t just about understanding words. More importantly, it’s about real connections with native speakers and a different point of view to see the world. So, even though AR Smart Glasses and other cool tools can help with translations, the real joy and benefits of knowing a language come from speaking it fluently and understanding its culture. 31. What is the coolest feature of the AR Smart Glasses? ___________________________________________ 32. How can the AR Smart Glasses help people who get lost? ___________________________________________ 33. According to the writer, what is more important about learning a language? ___________________________________________ 34. Do you think the AR Smart Glasses are useful for your English learning?

He was so excited. When he arrived, he ran off with Emma to play with the toys. After playing for a while, Emma went to bring some snacks, and while she was away, Max accidentally broke her favourite toy, a beautiful doll. Max became scared. He didn’t want to upset his friend nor did he want to get into trouble, so he quickly hid it under the bed where he was certain that no one would find it. Emma returned with a basket full of snacks for them. They ate together, but Max was too nervous to enjoy. Suddenly, Emma realized that she could not see her doll anywhere. She was very upset and searched everywhere for her beloved toy. Max pretended he didn’t know what happened to the doll. He felt like it was on fire inside. But before he could say anything, his mother came to get him. That night, Max felt terrible about keeping the secret and he couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about the broken doll and Emma’s sad face. Finally, he decided to tell Emma the truth. The next morning, he told his mother first and then they drove to Emma’s house. Nervous as Max was, he took a deep breath. What came out in a shaking voice was, “Emma, I have s—something to tell you. I’m so sorry, but I accidentally b—broke your doll.” Max told Emma everything. She was hurt and then surprised but also relieved to finally know what happened. They glued the doll back together. Although it wasn’t perfect like before, Emma was happy to have her toy back. When Max left Emma’s home, he felt a huge weight had been lifted off. He realized that even though admitting (释然的) mistakes is hard, telling the truth is the best choice. 21. Why did Max hide the broken doll under the bed? A. He wanted to make Emma happy. B. He wanted to play a joke on Emma. C. He didn’t want to have fun with it. D. He didn’t want to get into trouble. 22. How did Max feel before he told Emma the truth? A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Hurt. D. Relieved. 23 What has Max learned from his experience? A. It’s difficult to build trust. B. It’s normal to have some secrets. C. It’s important to be honest. D. It’s pleasant to make new friends. C Just like our bodies produce waste every day, our brains also produce harmful waste proteins (蛋白质). The body can be washed regularly, but what about the brain? A 2013 study might get the answer. Researchers at the University of Rochester in the US studied the brains of mice and discovered that they cleaned themselves while the mice were sleeping. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (脑脊液) in the brain was found to increase noticeably during sleep, washing away waste proteins that had been building up between brain cells during waking hours. This study showed that the brain worked differently when asleep and when awake. This may also explain why we can’t seem to think clearly after a sleepless night, while a good night’s sleep leaves us feeling sharp and refreshed. Another study, published on Oct 31, 2019 in Science, dug a little deeper into our brains’ self-cleaning process. This time, humans were tested instead of mice. Researchers at Boston University in the US observed the brain waves of 13 healthy adults while they were sleeping. They found that every 20 seconds blood flew out of the brain, making room for a large amount of CSF to come in and “clean”. This process was related to the change in the brain’s slow waves—an electrical activity that happens when we are in deep sleep. Although they were still unsure about how these brain activities were connected, it was exciting enough to find that they were connected. It allowed scientists to piece together possible new explanations for misunderstood diseases. For example, slow-wave sleep has been proven to play a role in strengthening our memories. This may explain why people with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病), whose memories are disordered, often have fewer and weaker slow brainwaves. Based on the 2019 study about CSF, there could be one more explanation for Alzheimer’s: The diseased brains are not clean. Maybe the most important take-home message of the findings is that sleep is a serious thing. We really need to sleep well to keep a healthy brain. 24. What did the 2013 study find? A. Why the brain worked better when asleep. B. How the brain got self-cleaned when asleep. C. How the brain produced waste when awake. D. Why the brain built up proteins when awake. 25. What can we learn about the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the passage? A. The CSF—slow wave connection inspires new ideas for brain disorders. B. Alzheimer’s can be cured with more CSF in the diseased brain. C. The reasons why CSF is connected with slow waves are clear. D. The CSF comes in our brain with blood when people sleep. 26. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Clear Your Mind to Improve Sleep B. Slow Your Brain for a Better Sleep C. Shower Your Brain in a Sound Sleep D. Strengthen Your Memory in a Deep Sleep D Do you know the weight of 30,000 adult Asian elephants? It’s about 150,000 tons. That’s how much land—based plastic trash is produced by humans across the globe within a single hour, 10 times the amount a century ago, according to World Bank researchers. Yet there are a growing number of young people, whose yearly trash output can be small enough to fit inside an eight—ounce mason jar. Actually, they’re leading a zero—waste lifestyle, a way of living that aims to reduce trash production to as close to zero as possible. They say it saves them money and time and enriches their lives. Kathryn Kellogg is one of them. “We saved about $5,000 a year by shopping for fresh food instead of packaged food, buying wholesale, and making our own cleaners and shopping bags,” says Kellogg, who lives with her husband in a small house in Vallejo, California. Kellogg shares the details of their efforts, along with practical tips and encouragement on her blog goingzerowaste. com, for others looking to a zero—waste lifestyle. “There’s a fear of being left out when you try to do things differently,” Kellogg says. “But it’s not a big change to clean up the dust with a cloth towel instead of a paper towel.” “I think many people are ready to cut their waste,” says Kellogg. However, she doesn’t want them to fixate (痴迷于) on trying to put all their trash into a jar. “Zero—waste is really about trying to minimize (最小化) your trash and making better choices in your life,” she says. “Just do the best you can.” Kellogg suggests many practices that were common before the times of plastics and disposable (一次性的) products. Think cloth napkins and handkerchiefs, vinegar (醋) and water for cleaning, glass meal boxes for left—overs, cloth shopping bags. These, and similar old—school solutions, produce no waste and are cheaper in the long run. “Going zero—waste means questioning what’s normal and thinking outside the box,” Kellogg says. As one example, she mentions that she loves pancakes but hates making them. As a zero—waste blogger, she refused to buy packaged ones at food shops. Finally, she hit on the solution: buy a dozen of fresh—made ones from a local Mexican restaurant. The restaurant was even happy to put the pancakes in Kellogg’s reusable meal box because it saves them money. Living a zero—waste lifestyle is a journey, it doesn’t happen overnight. But it’s worth the effort. Let’s move towards zero waste with small steps. 27. Why does the writer use the example of elephants in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of elephants. B. To introduce a way of recycling trash. C To show the large amount of plastic trash. D. To describe a result of waste management. 28. Which of the following would Kellogg most probably agree with? A. To buy a chocolate gift box for friends. B. To clean up the dust with a paper towel. C. To keep as much trash as possible in a jar. D. To store the left—overs in a glass lunch box. 29. What does the underlined word “practices” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A. Ways of making common products B. Methods of minimizing daily waste. C. Actions of buying supplies at lower cost. D. Processes of collecting old—school things. 30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To call for the actions of taking on a zero—waste lifestyle. B. To compare some practical tips on a zero—waste lifestyle. C. To discuss the benefits of adopting a zero—waste lifestyle. D. To point out the popularity of living a zero—waste lifestyle. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 五、阅读表达（第31—33题每题2分，第34题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Imagine watching a movie in a foreign language or attending a lecture where the speaker talks fast, the subtitles (字幕) appear directly on your glasses. Isn’t that amazing? Recently, an ordinary yet “magical” pair of glasses—the AR Smart Glasses—has hit the market, which goes far beyond regular translation tools by offering hands—free, screen—free, real—time interactive translation. The AR Smart Glasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They look just like regular glasses, but the “magic” hidden within them can’t be ignored (忽视). The coolest feature (特色) of the AR Smart Glasses is their special translator. When people talk with someone, they can just point the glasses’ camera at the person they’re talking to, and the translation appears on the screen. When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses, they can simply look at any text, and a translation quickly appears in their view. If they get lost and need directions, the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes. Even for language learners, it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously (同步地) Learning a language can become quicker, easier, and more certain. Since translation tools like the AR Smart Glasses help people understand words easily, some people start to question whether it’s still necessary to learn English, or any other foreign languages. In fact, knowing a new language is more than just that. When you speak a language fluently, you understand the way people talk, the jokes they make, and the special meanings behind their words. This helps you connect with people better and make real friends. Also, being able to speak more than one language makes you smarter. It helps you think in new ways and solve problems more easily. In a word, learning a language isn’t just about understanding words. More importantly, it’s about real connections with native speakers and a different point of view to see the world. So, even though AR Smart Glasses and other cool tools can help with translations, the real joy and benefits of knowing a language come from speaking it fluently and understanding its culture. 31. What is the coolest feature of the AR Smart Glasses? ___________________________________________ 32 How can the AR Smart Glasses help people who get lost? ___________________________________________ 33. According to the writer, what is more important about learning a language? ___________________________________________ 34. Do you think the AR Smart Glasses are useful for your English learning? Why or why not? Please give two reasons. ___________________________________________ 六、文段表达 （10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名和姓名。 题目① 35. 假设你是李华，你校上周五开展了为期一天的外出社会实践活动。你的笔友Peter对这次活动很感兴趣。请你用英文给他写一封邮件，介绍活动的地点、过程以及你的收获。 提示词语：history, performance, culture, educational, enrich 内容提示：●Where did you go for your school tour? ●What did you do there? ●What have you learned from it?
