She is given tasks that are impossible to complete, but this is a story of hope and determination. (Nettle突然被带到了仙境，那里有危险和迷人的美景。她被赋予了无法完成的任务，但这是一个关于希望和决心的故事。)”可知，《Nettle》的主题是一个关于在奇幻世界中希望和毅力的故事。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But whereas Mulan dressed as a boy to join the army out of filial piety, Meilin does it to rebel against her father and avoid marriage to an abusive husband. (但是，木兰为了孝顺而女扮男装参军，而美林这样做是为了反抗她的父亲，避免嫁给一个虐待她的丈夫。)”可知，Meilin参军的目的是为了违抗她的父亲。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When 17 year old Riya inherits a predictive technology algorithm from her father, she is forced to go on the run while deciding what the right thing to do with it would be .(当17岁的Riya从父亲那里继承了一个预测技术算法时，她不得不在逃跑的同时决定如何正确处理它。)”可知，在《Anticipation》中，Riya继承了预测技术算法。故选D。 B In life we keep complaining about what is or why we don’t have. Fat people say, “I want to be slim.” Skinny people say, “I want to be fatter.” Poor people want to be rich and the rich are never satisfied with what they have. Peng Shuilin, born in Hunan, China, is 78cms high. In 1995, a truck sliced his body in half. Surgeons sewed up his torso (躯干), but his lower body and legs were beyond repair. Peng Shuilin spent nearly two years in hospital undergoing a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his body. Peng kept exercising his arms, building up strength, washing his face and brushing his teeth. But he wanted more — to walk. Considering Peng’s state, doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing designed an creative way to allow him to walk on his own, creating an amazing egg cup-like casing to hold his body, with two bionic legs attached. Repeatedly falling down and struggling up, he astonished doctors by learning to walk again after a decade. “Oh, so satisfying to ‘walk’ again after ten years with half a body!” Peng said. Hospital vice-president Lin Liu said, “We’ve just given him a checkup; he is fitter than most men his age.” Peng Shuilin has opened his own bargain supermarket, called the Half Man-Half Price Store. The inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman and is used as a role model for other amputees (被截肢者). At just 2ft 7ins tall, he moves around in a wheelchair giving lectures on recovery from disability. His attitude is amazing, he doesn’t complain. “He had good care, but his secret is cheerfulness. Nothing ever gets him down.” His life is a great example of perseverance, a victory of the human spirit in overcoming extreme adversity. Next time you want to complain about something meaningless, don’t. Remember Peng Shulin instead. 4. Why does the author mention fat and skinny people in the first paragraph? A. To illustrate people’s inner desire. B. To provide the background information. C. To indicate peoples’ dissatisfaction. D. To compare people’s living standard. 5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. The sewing surgery was complicated but successful. B. The lower part of Peng’s body was crushed by the truck. C. Peng lied in the Rehabilitation Research Centre for 2 years. D. Every major organ and system inside Peng was replaced. 6. According to the text, what detail is provided about Peng Shulin’s business? A. He owns a large chain of supermarkets. B. He sells wheelchairs and luxury items in his store. C. His store is called the Half Man-Half Price Store. D. His business focuses on healthcare services. 7. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A. “Half man” learned to walk in China. B. Technology helped “half man” to walk again. C. Magical surgery brought “half a person” to life. D. “Half a person” faced life with courage and optimism. 【答案】4 B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了彭水林虽然遭遇不幸，下半身被截肢，但他凭借自己的勇气和乐观，不仅重新学会了走路，还开设了自己的超市，成为了其他截肢者的榜样。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In life we keep complaining about what is or why we don’t have. Fat people say, ‘I want to be slim.’ Skinny people say, ‘I want to be fatter.’ Poor people want to be rich and the rich are never satisfied with what they have.(在生活中，我们总是抱怨现状，抱怨为什么没有拥有某些东西。胖的人说，‘我想变瘦。’瘦的人说，‘我想变胖。’穷人想变富，富人永远不会满足于他们所拥有的。)”可知，作者提到胖人和瘦人是为了提供背景信息，引出下文彭水林虽然遭遇不幸，但是积极乐观面对生活的故事。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Peng Shuilin spent nearly two years in hospital undergoing a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his body.(彭水林在医院里花了近两年时间，接受了一系列手术，以重新连接他体内几乎所有的主要器官或系统。)”可知，这个缝合手术很复杂，但是最后成功了。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Peng Shuilin has opened his own bargain supermarket, called the Half Man-Half Price Store.(彭水林开了自己的廉价超市，名叫‘半截人便利店’。)”可知，关于彭水林的生意，文章提供了他的店叫‘半截人便利店’这一细节。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了彭水林虽然遭遇不幸，下半身被截肢，但他凭借自己的勇气和乐观，不仅重新学会了走路，还开设了自己的超市，成为了其他截肢者的榜样，由此可知，本文的最佳标题是D项“‘半截人’以勇气和乐观面对生活”。故选D。 C The University of Leeds have discovered a way to reduce stress — watching videos and images of cute animals can help reduce stress levels by up to 50%. All 19 participants were asked to watch a 30-minute film of images and videos of cute animals, having their heart rate and blood pressure measured before and after the study, with the majority wearing a heart rate monitor throughout. The majority of participants were students who were due to take an exam 90 minutes after this session, with the rest being academic support staff who had declared they were feeling stressed because of work. Dr Andrea Utley said, “It was clear that students were anxious ahead of their exams, with heart rates and blood pressure for most participants mildly elevated before our session took place. Indeed, in some individuals, heart rate and blood pressure was even higher indicating a higher level of stress for those participants. Throughout the course of the session, heart rates and blood pressure fell across all individuals to a level that would be considered healthy and indicative of limited stress or anxiety.” The psychological aspect investigated was the state anxiety, which is caused by a particular event, like an exam. The findings had shown a significant drop in anxiety levels, in some individual cases even by almost 50%, proving that watching cute animals can be a powerful stress reliever and a mood builder. After the results from the study were released, Tourism Western Australia started running TV of ‘Quokka’, the world’s happiest animal, which gives the public the chance to relax. The University of Leeds is also starting to offer students the chance to watch quokkas in a “controlled environment” prior to exams. Although working through your lunch break may seem more productive and playing balls more relaxing, watching videos or pictures of cute animals at your desk could actually be more efficient. With everything going on, your mental health could certainly use a boost right now. 8. What might cause participants’ higher heart rate according to the text? A. The approaching exam. B. The demanding teacher. C. The uncompleted assignment. D. The challenging task. 9. What does the underlined word “elevated” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Boost. B. Decrease. C. Stabilize. D. Increase. 10. What is the main idea of the text? A. The University of Leeds is offering stress management courses. B. Watching cute animals can significantly reduce stress levels. C. Tourism Western Australia is promoting ‘Quokka’ tourism. D. Academic support staff are more stressed than students. 11. What was the psychological aspect investigated in the study? A. Short-term general anxiety disorders. B. The impact of work on mental health. C. Stress due to the long-term work load. D. State anxiety caused by a particular event. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了利兹大学的一项研究发现，即观看可爱动物的视频和图片可以帮助降低压力水平，最高可达50%，并对此进行了详细的说明和解释。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The majority of participants were students who were due to take an exam 90 minutes after this session, with the rest being academic support staff who had declared they were feeling stressed because of work.(大多数参与者是90分钟后要参加考试的学生，其余的是学术支持人员，他们声称自己因为工作而感到压力很大)”可知，因为临近的考试可能导致参与者心率升高。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Indeed, in some individuals, heart rate and blood pressure was even higher indicating a higher level of stress for those participants. Throughout the course of the session, heart rates and blood pressure fell across all individuals to a level that would be considered healthy and indicative of limited stress or anxiety.(事实上，有些人的心率和血压甚至更高，这表明这些参与者的压力水平更高。在整个疗程中，所有人的心率和血压都降到了健康水平，表明压力或焦虑程度有限)”可知，后文说心率和血压甚至更高，是和前文比较，所以前文应是说大多数参与者的心率和血压都有轻微的升高，推知elevated应是“提高”之意，和D项意思相近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The University of Leeds have discovered a way to reduce stress — watching videos and images of cute animals can help reduce stress levels by up to 50%.(利兹大学发现了一种减轻压力的方法——观看可爱动物的视频和图片可以帮助减少多达50%的压力水平)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了观看可爱的动物可以显著减轻压力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“The psychological aspect investigated was the state anxiety, which is caused by a particular event, like an exam.(研究中调查的心理方面是状态焦虑，这是由一个特定的事件引起的，比如考试)”可知，研究中调查的心理方面是由特定事件引起的状态焦虑。故选D项。 D Our brain isn’t the only place memories form in our body. New York University researchers have discovered learning through repetition may be fundamental to all of our cells. The process may also help explain why taking breaks is such a powerful learning tool. Many learn the hard way that cramming for exams doesn’t create the most reliable long-term memories. Multiple cycles of chemical activity through a repeated behavior is what activates the memory-formation process among our neurons (神经元), changing into increasingly stronger memories. This phenomenon is called the massed-spaced effect. By exposing non-brain nerve and kidney cells to similar chemical patterns in the lab, Prof. Kukushkin and his colleagues showed for the first time that these tissues (组织) experience massed-spaced effect too. Genes associated with memory formation in neurons also seemed to be activated within these cells. How the nerve and kidney cells responded depended on the number of rounds of protein kinases A and C (PKA and PKC) they were treated with. These chemical ’training pulses’ are known components of memory forming signaling cascades (信号级联). “A three-minute pulse did turn on the ’memory gene,’ but only for, an hour or two, whereas after four pulses, the gene was turned on stronger, and stayed on for days,” Kukushkin writes for Psychology Today. The cell responses also depended on the time between pulses. These factors varied how strongly the memory-forming molecules (分子) were activated, and for how long — exactly what happens with our neurons. Neuroscientist Ashok Hegde calls the study “interesting”, because they are applying what’s generally considered a neuroscience principle sort of broadly to understand gene expression in nonneuronal cells. He says this research may someday help with the search for potential drugs to treat disease with memory loss. Kukushkin agrees and adds, “Maybe we can think of cancer cells as having memories, and we need to consider not just how much drug we are giving a person, but what is the time pattern of that drug, just as we think about how to learn more efficiently.” 12. What can be learnt about memory formation in Paragraph 2? A. It is called massed-space effect. B. It can be activated by quantities of input. C. It can be stimulated by repeated behavior. D. It can produce reliable memory in exams. 13. Which of the following can keep “memory gene” stay longer according to Paragraph 4? A. Three, 2-minute chemical pulse separated by 2 minutes. B. Four, 2-minute chemical pulse separated by 2 minutes. C. Three, 3-minute chemical pulses separated by 5 minutes. D. Four, 3-minute chemical pulses separated by 5 minutes. 14. What is Neuroscientist Ashok Hegde’s attitude towards this research? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Disapproval. D. Patient. 15. What does Kukushin mean in the last paragraph? A. Cancer cells can remember a person’s drug. B. Time pattern is more important than drug dosage. C. Time administration should be taken into account. D. Cancer cells need learning with high efficiency. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了重复学习对记忆形成的重要性及其新发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Multiple cycles of chemical activity through a repeated behavior is what activates the memory-formation process among our neurons (神经元), changing into increasingly stronger memories. (通过重复的行为，化学活动的多个周期激活了我们神经元中的记忆形成过程，并逐渐转变为更强的记忆。)”可知，重复的行为可以刺激记忆形成的过程。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中““A three-minute pulse did turn on the ’memory gene,’ but only for, an hour or two, whereas after four pulses, the gene was turned on stronger, and stayed on for days,” Kukushkin writes for Psychology Today. (库库什金在《今日心理学》杂志中写道：“三分钟的脉冲确实启动了‘记忆基因’，但只持续了一两个小时，而经过四次脉冲后，该基因被更强烈地启动，并持续数天。”)”可知，四个三分钟间隔的化学脉冲可以使“记忆基因”保持更长时间。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第六段中“Neuroscientist Ashok Hegde calls the study “interesting”, because they are applying what’s generally considered a neuroscience principle sort of broadly to understand gene expression in nonneuronal cells. (神经科学家阿肖克·赫格认为这项研究“很有趣”，因为他们将通常被认为是神经科学原理的内容广泛应用到理解非神经元细胞的基因表达上。)”可知，神经科学家阿肖克·赫格认为这项研究很有趣，说明他对这项研究持支持态度。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Kukushkin agrees and adds, “Maybe we can think of cancer cells as having memories, and we need to consider not just how much drug we are giving a person, but what is the time pattern of that drug, just as we think about how to learn more efficiently.” (库库什金表示赞同，并补充道：“也许我们可以把癌细胞看作是有记忆的，我们不仅要考虑给病人多少药物，还要考虑药物的时间模式，就像我们思考如何更高效地学习一样。”)”可知，库库什金认为在癌症治疗中，时间模式可能比药物剂量更重要，就像我们考虑如何更有效地学习一样。因此，他强调的是在治疗中要考虑时间管理。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 AI has become an important part of the modern world, and its impact can be seen in almost all walks of life. ____16____.

As she stood in front of the 5th grade, class on the very first day, in the manner of many teachers she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs Davis had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children, that his clothes, were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. She paid no attention to Teddy. However, when she read his file, she was in surprise. Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is the joy to be around.” His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs Davis realized the problem and she felt a deep sense of shame for her initial judgement, and she thought that she could make a difference in Teddy’s life. She felt a mix of emotions when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful paper and tied I with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy’s. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs Davis opened it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a stone bracelet (手镯) with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume (香水). 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。 Rather than laughing, Mrs. Davis showed how she liked Teddy’s presents. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ten years later, Teddy invited Mrs Davis to attend his wedding as his mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】作答示例 Rather than laughing, Mrs. Davis showed how she liked Teddy’s presents. She put the bracelet on and applied the perfume on her wrist, eliciting a look of surprise and a shy smile from Teddy. From then on, Mrs Davis focused on Teddy, encouraging him and praising his progress. Slowly, Teddy’s confidence grew, and he started to participate more in class and make friends. The more she encouraged him, the faster he made progress in study. By the year’s end, Teddy had blossomed into one of the top students in the class. Ten years later, Teddy invited Mrs Davis to attend his wedding as his mother. At the ceremony, Mrs. Davis wore the very bracelet and used perfume that Teddy had given her all those years ago. There, she encountered a refined gentleman who approached her and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Davis. Today, your fragrance reminded me of my mother’s.” With tears glistening in her eyes, Mrs. Davis replied softly, “Teddy, it was you who showed me the power of making a difference. I am truly honored to be here as your mother today.” 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了戴维斯夫人作为五年级的新任老师，在初见学生时表示对所有人都一视同仁，但实际上她对泰迪存有偏见。通过阅读泰迪以往年级老师的评语，戴维斯夫人逐渐了解到泰迪家庭的不幸和他所经历的困境，从而对自己的初步判断感到羞愧，并决定要改变泰迪的生活。在圣诞节时，泰迪送给戴维斯夫人一份看似简陋但实际上充满深意的礼物，这进一步触动了戴维斯夫人的心，让她更加坚定了要帮助泰迪的决心。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“戴维斯夫人没有嘲笑，而是展示了她有多喜欢泰迪的礼物。”可知，第一段可描写泰迪在戴维斯夫人的关怀和鼓励下成为班上尖子生之一的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“十年后，泰迪邀请戴维斯夫人以他母亲的身份出席他的婚礼。”可知，第二段可描写戴维斯夫人参加泰迪婚礼过程中与泰迪的对话。 2.续写线索：感到惊讶——鼓励并表扬泰迪——成为尖子生——婚礼对话 3.词汇激活 行为类 集中精力于：focus on/concentrate on 参与：participate in/get involved in 遇到：encounter/meet with 展示：show/display 情绪类 惊讶：surprise/astonishment 感谢：thank/appreciate 【点睛】[高分句型1]From then on, Mrs Davis focused on Teddy, encouraging him and praising his progress.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]Teddy, it was you who showed me the power of making a difference.（运用了强调句） 听力1—5 CBABC 6—10 BABAC 11—15 AACBC 16—20 BBABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阳泉市2024~2025学年度第一学期期末教学质量监测试题 高三英语 （考试时长：120分钟满分：180分） 注意事项： 1. 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。第Ⅰ卷1至13页，第Ⅱ卷14至16页。 2. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 3. 回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如[■]。如需改动，须用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。不能答在试题卷上，否则无效。 4. 回答第Ⅱ卷时，须用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔将答案写在答题卡上相对应的答题区域内，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 5. 第Ⅰ卷共三部分。听力满分30分，不计入总分。 6. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试题上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒种的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Fat people say, “I want to be slim.” Skinny people say, “I want to be fatter.” Poor people want to be rich and the rich are never satisfied with what they have. Peng Shuilin, born in Hunan, China, is 78cms high. In 1995, a truck sliced his body in half. Surgeons sewed up his torso (躯干), but his lower body and legs were beyond repair. Peng Shuilin spent nearly two years in hospital undergoing a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his body. Peng kept exercising his arms, building up strength, washing his face and brushing his teeth. But he wanted more — to walk. Considering Peng’s state, doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing designed an creative way to allow him to walk on his own, creating an amazing egg cup-like casing to hold his body, with two bionic legs attached. Repeatedly falling down and struggling up, he astonished doctors by learning to walk again after a decade. “Oh, so satisfying to ‘walk’ again after ten years with half a body!” Peng said. Hospital vice-president Lin Liu said, “We’ve just given him a checkup; he is fitter than most men his age.” Peng Shuilin has opened his own bargain supermarket, called the Half Man-Half Price Store. The inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman and is used as a role model for other amputees (被截肢者). At just 2ft 7ins tall, he moves around in a wheelchair giving lectures on recovery from disability. His attitude is amazing, he doesn’t complain. “He had good care, but his secret is cheerfulness. Nothing ever gets him down.” His life is a great example of perseverance, a victory of the human spirit in overcoming extreme adversity. Next time you want to complain about something meaningless, don’t. Remember Peng Shulin instead. 4. Why does the author mention fat and skinny people in the first paragraph? A.

D. “Half a person” faced life with courage and optimism. C The University of Leeds have discovered a way to reduce stress — watching videos and images of cute animals can help reduce stress levels by up to 50%. All 19 participants were asked to watch a 30-minute film of images and videos of cute animals, having their heart rate and blood pressure measured before and after the study, with the majority wearing a heart rate monitor throughout. The majority of participants were students who were due to take an exam 90 minutes after this session, with the rest being academic support staff who had declared they were feeling stressed because of work. Dr Andrea Utley said, “It was clear that students were anxious ahead of their exams, with heart rates and blood pressure for most participants mildly elevated before our session took place. Indeed, in some individuals, heart rate and blood pressure was even higher indicating a higher level of stress for those participants. Throughout the course of the session, heart rates and blood pressure fell across all individuals to a level that would be considered healthy and indicative of limited stress or anxiety.” The psychological aspect investigated was the state anxiety, which is caused by a particular event, like an exam. The findings had shown a significant drop in anxiety levels, in some individual cases even by almost 50%, proving that watching cute animals can be a powerful stress reliever and a mood builder. After the results from the study were released, Tourism Western Australia started running TV of ‘Quokka’, the world’s happiest animal, which gives the public the chance to relax. The University of Leeds is also starting to offer students the chance to watch quokkas in a “controlled environment” prior to exams. Although working through your lunch break may seem more productive and playing balls more relaxing, watching videos or pictures of cute animals at your desk could actually be more efficient. With everything going on, your mental health could certainly use a boost right now. 8. What might cause participants’ higher heart rate according to the text? A. The approaching exam. B. The demanding teacher. C The uncompleted assignment. D. The challenging task. 9. What does the underlined word “elevated” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Boost. B. Decrease. C. Stabilize. D. Increase. 10. What is the main idea of the text? A. The University of Leeds is offering stress management courses. B. Watching cute animals can significantly reduce stress levels. C. Tourism Western Australia is promoting ‘Quokka’ tourism. D. Academic support staff are more stressed than students. 11. What was the psychological aspect investigated in the study? A. Short-term general anxiety disorders. B. The impact of work on mental health. C. Stress due to the long-term work load. D. State anxiety caused by a particular event. D Our brain isn’t the only place memories form in our body. New York University researchers have discovered learning through repetition may be fundamental to all of our cells. The process may also help explain why taking breaks is such a powerful learning tool. Many learn the hard way that cramming for exams doesn’t create the most reliable long-term memories. Multiple cycles of chemical activity through a repeated behavior is what activates the memory-formation process among our neurons (神经元), changing into increasingly stronger memories. This phenomenon is called the massed-spaced effect. By exposing non-brain nerve and kidney cells to similar chemical patterns in the lab, Prof. Kukushkin and his colleagues showed for the first time that these tissues (组织) experience massed-spaced effect too. Genes associated with memory formation in neurons also seemed to be activated within these cells. How the nerve and kidney cells responded depended on the number of rounds of protein kinases A and C (PKA and PKC) they were treated with. These chemical ’training pulses’ are known components of memory forming signaling cascades (信号级联). “A three-minute pulse did turn on the ’memory gene,’ but only for, an hour or two, whereas after four pulses, the gene was turned on stronger, and stayed on for days,” Kukushkin writes for Psychology Today. The cell responses also depended on the time between pulses. These factors varied how strongly the memory-forming molecules (分子) were activated, and for how long — exactly what happens with our neurons. Neuroscientist Ashok Hegde calls the study “interesting”, because they are applying what’s generally considered a neuroscience principle sort of broadly to understand gene expression in nonneuronal cells. He says this research may someday help with the search for potential drugs to treat disease with memory loss. Kukushkin agrees and adds, “Maybe we can think of cancer cells as having memories, and we need to consider not just how much drug we are giving a person, but what is the time pattern of that drug, just as we think about how to learn more efficiently.” 12. What can be learnt about memory formation in Paragraph 2? A. It is called massed-space effect. B. It can be activated by quantities of input. C. It can be stimulated by repeated behavior. D. It can produce reliable memory in exams. 13. Which of the following can keep “memory gene” stay longer according to Paragraph 4? A. Three, 2-minute chemical pulse separated by 2 minutes. B. Four, 2-minute chemical pulse separated by 2 minutes. C. Three, 3-minute chemical pulses separated by 5 minutes. D. Four, 3-minute chemical pulses separated by 5 minutes. 14. What is Neuroscientist Ashok Hegde’s attitude towards this research? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Disapproval. D. Patient. 15. What does Kukushin mean in the last paragraph? A. Cancer cells can remember a person’s drug. B Time pattern is more important than drug dosage. C. Time administration should be taken into account. D. Cancer cells need learning with high efficiency. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 AI has become an important part of the modern world, and its impact can be seen in almost all walks of life. ____16____.

As she stood in front of the 5th grade, class on the very first day, in the manner of many teachers she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs Davis had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children, that his clothes, were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. She paid no attention to Teddy. However, when she read his file, she was in surprise. Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is the joy to be around.” His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs Davis realized the problem and she felt a deep sense of shame for her initial judgement, and she thought that she could make a difference in Teddy’s life. She felt a mix of emotions when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful paper and tied I with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy’s. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs Davis opened it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a stone bracelet (手镯) with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume (香水). 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。 Rather than laughing, Mrs. Davis showed how she liked Teddy’s presents. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ten years later, Teddy invited Mrs Davis to attend his wedding as his mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 CBABC 6—10 BABAC 11—15 AACBC 16—20 BBABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
