of any book”可确定答案。 22.B。根据“Appeal to people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.”可确定答案。 23.B。根据“Book suggestions can be made on the Go Big Read website through Nov.30.”可确定答案。 24.B。该研究是测试相同文化背景的人群和不同文化背景的人群对音乐的反应。Arkansas和Michigan的实验参与 者属同一地区(middle America),是作为具有相同的文化背景的两个群体来参加实验的。 25.D."...the degree to which these imagined stories are shared depends on the degree to which culture is shared across listeners.”可确定答案。这些想象的故事的相同程度取决于听音乐者之间在文化背景方面的相同程度。 26.D。概括本段Margulis所说，人们对音乐的反应分为两种类型：一种是“shared”,即相同文化背景的人群对一首乐 曲有共同的反应；根据“the opposite can also be true”可知，另一种是“different”,即不同文化背景的人群对一首乐 曲有不同的反应。 27.C。本文聚焦：不同文化背景的人群听到一首乐曲时会产生什么样的想象。 28.B。them指insects,即叶子迅速闭合，将昆虫包在里面。 29.A。根据“…as a defense mechanism against potential threats..”可确定答案。 30.A。根据"..by locating host plants and growing toward本them to obtain nutrients..”可确定答案。 31,C。本段起始句“Plants exhibit collective behaviors that benefit the entire community.”为段落主题句。本段所列 举的三个例子围绕“collective behaviors”展开说明。 32.D。本文首段与第二段之间存在着一种“论点”和“论据”的关系。首段提出“Buy Less,Buy Luxury”这一概念（即语 篇主题)，通过购买耐用的高端奢侈品来减少对产品的消费，以实现可持续的消费生活方式。第二段提及快时尚品 牌，其目的为支持“Buy Less,Buy Luxury”这一概念。快时尚服装使用周期短，大大减少了衣服的平均穿着次数， 而大批量的快时尚服装生产则需要付出高昂的环境代价。 33.A。compatible:相容的。根据本段内容可推断答案。消费者很难看到可持续性和奢侈品是相容的，因为对于消费 者来说，可持续奢侈品可能是一个矛盾的概念(a contradictory concept)。由于忽视了奢侈品的耐用性，许多消费 者更喜欢购买多种多样的大众市场产品，而不是少数高端产品。 34.A."Emphasizing the durability aspect of sustainability can be an effective marketing strategy for high-end brands to promote their products..”可确定答案。 35.C."..which proposes that the brand's watches are so durable that consumers merely look after them for the next generation..”可确定答案。 36,G。联系前后句内容可确定答案。 37.B。本句既与前句构成意义上的联系，同时也是后面部分的概括句。 38.F。本句为本段的段落主题句。 39.C。So think about what sets you apart from others:.所以想一想是什么让你与众不同。本句与前句中的“the most unique element of your life story'”相联系。 40.A。联系前后句内容可确定答案。 41,C。本文报道三岁小男孩Quin因脑瘤接受干细胞移植手术后身体失去了免疫能力，需要与外界隔离三个月。在 这期间，很多人前来看望小男孩，通过窗口用各种各样的方式逗小男孩开心，故可称为“special visits'”。 英语参考答案一1 42.D。参见上条注释 43.A。根据本段内容可知Quin因身体失去了免疫能力，需要与外界隔离三个月。 44.A。temporarily:暂时地。根据“for three months'"可确定答案。 45.B。根据Quinn此前接受干细胞移植手术这一内容可确定答案。 46.D。positive:积极乐观的。根据本段后面的内容可确定答案。 47,B。stuck:被困住的。根据“Quinn不得不与外界隔离”这一内容可确定答案。 48.C。ask to do sth:要求做某事。 49.A。Quin的卧室窗口成了他与外界联系的连接点。根据本段后面的内容可确定答案。 50.C。stop:停留：逗留。Quinn的家人停留在他的卧室窗口旁边，其目的是“to play and socialize”。 5l.D。entertain:使娱乐。 52.B。happen:发生。根据下句内容可确定答案。 53.B。dogs performing tricks:狗狗表演杂耍。这属于娱乐内容。 54.C。名词wil可表示“意愿；心愿”。 55,D。positiv心energy:正能量，指积极的力量和情感，能够给人带来快乐、希望和信心。人们为Quinn所做的一切，就 是一种“positive energy”, 56,the。the public:公众。 57.and。and并列连接“hosting…”和“known.”两个作状语的分词短语。 58.where。where引导表语从句. 59.to look。动词不定式作目的状语。 60.is。本句为主谓倒装，主语是“a30-foot high dragon'”。 6L.imported。动词-ed短语作定语，修饰“The giant Ming Dynasty Heaven

B Are we all imagining the same thing when we listen to music,or are our experiences hopelessly subjective?In other words.is music a truly universal language? To investigate those questions,an international team of researchers led by Elizabeth Margulis of Princeton University asked hundreds of people what stories they imagined when listening to instrumental music.They discovered that listeners in Michigan and Arkansas imagined very similar scenes.while listeners in China imagined completely different stories. "These results paint a more complex picture of music's power,"said Margulis."Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners'minds,but the degree to which these imagined stories are shared depends on the degree to which culture is shared across listeners. The 622 participants came from three regions across two continents:two college towns in middle America-one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan-and a group from Dimen.a village in rural China where the primary language is Dong.and where the residents have little access to Western media. 英语试题第4页（共12页） All the three groups of listeners-in Arkansas,Michigan and Dimen-heard the same musical pieces,half from Western music and half from Chinese music.After each musical piece.they provided free-response descriptions of the stories they imagined while they listened. The results were striking.Listeners in Arkansas and Michigan described very similar stories,often using the same words,while the Dimen listeners imagined stories that were similar to each other but very different from those of American listeners. For example,a musical passage brought to mind a sunrise over a forest,with animals waking and birds singing for American listeners,while those in Dimen pictured a man blowing a leaf on a mountain,singing a song to his beloved. "It's impressive that some of these imagined responses we have to music can actually be widely shared,"said Margulis."There's something about that that's really amazing,especially because we often encounter music separately,over headphones.But it turns out,it's still a shared experience,almost like a shared dream.Of course,the opposite'can also be true. Music is not universally shared.but depends on a common set of cultural experiences." 24.Why were people in Arkansas and Michigan chosen for the research? A.They were traditionally music lovers. B.They shared a similar cultural background. C.They had never heard Chinese music before. D.They could imagine stories when listening to music. 25.What determined the level of similarity of the listeners'imagined stories? A.What kind of musical pieces they heard. B.How they listened to the musical pieces. C.Where they listened to the musical pieces. D.How much they had in common culturally. 26.What can be concluded about people's responses to music from the last paragraph? A.They are very similar. B.They are widely different. C.They are always changing. D.They can be shared or different. 27.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Do you use music as a language? B.How do you feel when listening to music? C.What do you see when listening to music? D.Do you imagine a story when listening to music? C Plants,often perceived as passive organisms,possess a complex world of intelligence. Scientific research has revealed the remarkable abilities exhibited by various plant species. Plants show remarkable adaptability by responding to their environment in amazing ways. One striking example is the Venus flytrap,which can trap insects using specialized leaves that 英语试题第5页（共12页） close quickly around them when the sensitive hairs on the surface are touched.This rapid response enables the plant to secure vital nutrients in environments with nutrient-poor soil. Another striking adaptation is exhibited by the mimosa,commonly known as the sensitive plant,which folds its leaves when touched,as a defense mechanism against potential threats. Plants have evolved wonderful strategies to secure their survival.The dodder,which lives on another plant,demonstrates remarkable problem-solving skills by locating host plants and growing towards them to obtain nutrients.This adaptive behavior allows the plant to survive by tapping into the resources of its host.In the competitive struggle for light,some climbing plants,such as the English ivy,employ a unique problem-solving approach known as"negative gravitropism",allowing them to grow against the force of gravity.This adaptation maximizes their access to essential sunlight. Plants exhibit collective behaviors that benefit the entire community.In forests,trees of the same species can flower at the same time to take advantage of pollinators()and maximize successful reproduction.Moreover,when a plant is attacked by herbivores(食草者)， it can send out chemical signals that cause neighboring plants to produce a defensive substance. This collective response enhances the overall resistance of the community against herbivores and ensures the survival of individual plants.Additionally,through underground networks plants can communicate and share resources with neighboring individuals,forming a symbiotic relationship.Through these networks,plants can transfer nutrients,water,and even chemical signals to support the overall health of the community. 28.What does the underlined word "them"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.The leaves. B.The insects. C.The plants. D.The sensitive hairs. 29.What is the mimosa well known as? A.A plant that can protect itself. B.A plant that can adapt to changes. C.A plant that can catch insects. D.A plant that can grow in poor soil. 30.What is the dodder capable of doing? A.Finding where the host plant is. B.Supporting other plants with nutrients. C.Climbing high to reach sunlight. D.Surviving by getting nutrients from the soil. 31.What does the last paragraph focus on about plants? A.Their communication abilities. B.Their strategies to deal with danger. C.Their cooperative intelligence. D.Their behaviors in plant communities. 英语试题第6页（共12页） D Rescarchers from Columbia University published a new paper that presents the concept of "Buy Less,Buy Luxury",explaining how consumers can adopt a sustainable consumption lifestyle by purchasing durable(耐用的)high-end and luxury products, Fast fashion brands (such as H&M and Zara have enabled consumers to buy disposable(用后即弃的)clothing,contributing to a36%decrease in the average number of times an item is worn compared with 15 years ago.While fast fashion offers consumers access to trendy,though short-lived,clothes at affordable prices,it also exacts high environmental costs.Indeed,the fashion industry has become one of the largest polluters,contributing 10% of global carbon emissions as well as 20%of global wastewater. Jennifer Sun,one of the authors,says that high-end products can be more sustainable than mass-market products because they are durable,long-lasting and timeless in style. Yet,why is it that consumers have such a hard time seeing that sustainability and luxury are compatible?Despite the long-lasting nature of high-end goods,sustainable luxury can be a contradictory concept for consumers because many of them ignore the durability of luxury products.Typical consumers prefer to buy multiple mass-market products instead of fewer, high-end items."That is because they fail to consider how long products will last.even though durability is an important product feature that consumers highly value,'explains Sun. "Emphasizing the durability aspect of sustainability can be an effective marketing strategy for high-end brands to promote their products while at the same time helping consumers engage in more sustainable consumption practices,"says Sun. In fact,notable campaigns that directly speak to these findings include Patagonia's"Buy Less,Demand More"advertisement,which assumes that purchasing fewer,more durable Patagonia products is good for consumers and the environment,as well as Patek Philippe's "Generations"campaign,which proposes that the brand's watches are so durable that consumers merely look after them for the next generation. 32.Why does the author mention fast fashion brands in the text? A.To give an example of fast fashion. B.To explain what low-quality clothes are like. C.To compare them with those of other products. D.To support purchase of durable luxury products. 33.What does the underlined part"are compatible"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Work well together. B.Work in the same way. C.Differ from each other. D.Separate from each other. 34.How can marketers make consumers buy high-end products? A.By highlighting product durability. B.By analyzing consumers'purchase behavior.
