As you exhale through your mouth, press your palms away. Make fists and inhale, pulling your arms back toward your chest. While doing this exercise, think about pushing away stress and pulling in calm. Repeat three times. Why this move: For some, physically acting out a desired emotional state — say, calm and steadiness — can encourage your brain to experience it. Your brain is not only sending out signals to the rest of your body; it’s receiving signals from you. ● BUILD INTENSITY Rock from side to side Plant your feet on the ground and gently bend your knees, relaxing your shoulders. Begin rocking at the pace of your thoughts. For instance, if your mind is racing, rock quickly. Then slow down your body as a way to slow your mind. Why this move: Rocking can calm the nervous system by creating a sense of predictable pace and steadiness in the body. ● COOL DOWN Sighs of relief and give yourself a hug Inhale through your nose, and as you exhale, let out a sigh. Repeat three to six times, allowing the sigh to lengthen and deepen each time. Then, embrace yourself and hold for at least 10 seconds. Why this move: Sighing can help to bring in calm by increasing your oxygen intake and lowering your heart rate. Wrapping your arms around your body can create a sense of personal safety. 21. What is the workout meant to do? A. Boost energy. B. Relax muscles. C. Relieve stress. D. Improve memory. 22. How can rocking from side to side calm you? A. By sending out signals. B. By taking in more oxygen. C. By lowering the heart rate. D. By adjusting body movement. 23. What can self-embrace achieve when you cool down? A. Balance in the body. B. Sharpness in the brain. C. A feeling of security. D. A mind of a faster pace. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个有助于让大脑安静下来的方法。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。由● WARM UP中第一段“While doing this exercise, think about pushing away stress and pulling in calm. (在做这个练习的时候，想想如何摆脱压力，保持冷静)”，● BUILD INTENSITY中第二段“Rocking can calm the nervous system by creating a sense of predictable pace and steadiness in the body.(摇晃可以通过在身体中创造一种可预测的节奏和稳定感来平静神经系统)”及● COOL DOWN中第二段“Sighing can help to bring in calm by increasing your oxygen intake and lowering your heart rate.(叹气可以通过增加氧气摄入量和降低心率来帮助你平静下来)”可知，指出了通过一系列动作让练习者感受平静来达到减轻压力的目的。因此，运动旨在缓解压力。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由● BUILD INTENSITY中第一段“Begin rocking at the pace of your thoughts. For instance, if your mind is racing, rock quickly. Then slow down your body as a way to slow your mind.(开始以你的思维节奏摇摆。例如，如果你的思维在飞速发展，那就快速摇滚。然后放慢你的身体，以此来减缓你的思维)”可知，通过身体移动的节奏与思维的速度相匹配，然后逐渐放慢身体的速度，从而达到放慢思维的效果，因此通过调整身体运动来平静自己。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由● COOL DOWN中第二段“Wrapping your arms around your body can create a sense of personal safety.(用手臂搂住身体可以创造一种人身安全感)”可知，拥抱自己能带来个人安全感，因此在冷静下来的过程中，自我拥抱可以获得安全感。故选C项。 B Back in the 1800s, some French artists packed their paint brushes and set off on long trips to capture the natural landscape and in the process, revolutionized art. Painting outdoors on location has recently inspired a newer trend: urban sketching, a kind of drawing with the text to describe the artist’s surroundings while traveling. Sketching on the go at different places around the globe opens your eyes to everything from the obvious to the invisible. A sketch captures a memory of people and places in a way that a photograph never can. Opposite to blitz travel, which focuses on the rapid, intensive exploration of multiple destinations in a very short period, urban sketching helps us slow down and step out of the rush by creating something by hand. As we draw, we notice the beauty in the ordinary: the way sunlight warms a scene, the comings and goings of locals in a market and the colors reflected in the water fountain. I went on my first urban sketching trip in 2023 to five coastal villages in Italy. I remember feeling frightened as I set up my sketchbook that first morning. My instructor, fellow sketchers and unfamiliar passers-by stopped by my side now and then. However, with each brushstroke, I soon became more and more engaged by the village’s arched passageways, old streets, and lemon trees. I found that when you stand still and spend hours absorbing and describing the small details around you, you begin to appreciate a place’s small differences. As a result, at the end of the five-day trip, I returned home with a deeper comprehension of Italian cuisine, customs and architecture. “As an art instructor, it’s wonderful to see how each participant brings a fresh perspective to what's in front of them,” says Alicia Aradilla, who has completed more than 700 watercolors from 20 countries and now leads urban sketching workshops and trips. “Every sketchbook ends up being different; I find it incredibly appealing.” 24. What do we know about urban sketching? A. It captures the natural landscape. B. It involves drawing and writing. C. It is launched by French artists. D. It is a fresh approach to indoor art. 25. What is a problem for people going on blitz travel? A. Views are explored in a hurry. B. Some of the scenes are invisible. C. Destinations are hard to reach. D. Photos are banned in some places. 26. How did the author feel at the end of his first urban sketch trip to Italy? A. He was scared of fellow sketchers. B. His cultural understanding deepened. C. He became crazy about Italian food. D. His drawings needed to be polished. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Urban sketchers can be creative and original. B. Sketch books are more appealing than photos. C. Urban sketching trips are in over 20 countries. D. Watercolors are the main style of urban sketching. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市素描这种艺术形式，其与传统素描和速写旅行之间存在差异以及作者的一次城市素描经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“Painting outdoors on location has recently inspired a newer trend: urban sketching, a kind of drawing with the text to describe the artist’s surroundings while traveling. (户外实地绘画最近激发了一种新的趋势：城市素描，一种在旅行中用文字描述艺术家周围环境的绘画)”可知，城市素描是融合了绘画与写作的一种艺术形式。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“Opposite to blitz travel, which focuses on the rapid, intensive exploration of multiple destinations in a very short period, urban sketching helps us slow down and step out of the rush by creating something by hand. (与专注于在短时间内快速、深入地探索多个目的地的速写旅行相反，城市素描通过手工创作一些东西，帮助我们放慢脚步，走出匆忙)”可知，速写旅行的人在旅行过程中会走马观花，匆忙地探索各种景观，无法深入了解或体验目的地。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中“As a result, at the end of the five-day trip, I returned home with a deeper comprehension of Italian cuisine, customs and architecture. (在为期五天的旅行结束时，我带着对意大利美食、风俗和建筑的更深入理解回到了家)”可知，作者在五天的城市素描旅行结束时，对意大利文化有了更深的理解。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中““As an art instructor, it’s wonderful to see how each participant brings a fresh perspective to what's in front of them,” says Alicia Aradilla, (Alicia Aradilla说：“作为一名艺术导师，很高兴看到每个参与者都能为他们面前的事物带来新的视角。”)”和“Every sketchbook ends up being different; I find it incredibly appealing. (每本速写本最终都不一样；我觉得它非常有吸引力)”可知，每位素描者都能以全新的视角进行创作，每本速写本最终都不一样，这说明城市素描者可以有创造性和原创性。故选A项。 C The soundtrack of modern life is overwhelming, from the roar of traffic to smartphones streaming videos around the clock. This has sent many people searching for a soundscape increasingly difficult to find: quiet. “I don’t think we’re wired for the amount of noise we experience,” says Norway-based psychologist Olga Lehmann, whose work centers on silence. Overexposure to noise pollution — particularly sounds above 85 decibels (分贝), roughly the level of a loud restaurant — can lead to hearing loss, high blood pressure, and stress. The World Health Organization named noise pollution a leading environmental cause of health issues, topped only by air pollution. A few trends have shown the growing demand for quiet, particularly among younger generations, like silent walking, a phenomenon that went viral on TikTok last year as creators promoted the value of walking without distractions — no podcasts, music, or phone calls. The activity’s widespread popularity highlights how starved digital natives are for a break from the noise. It could be as simple as sitting in a local park, museum, or library without technology for 10 minutes, or joining a silent yoga class. Silent Book Club, which brings readers together to read for an hour without chatter, has recently gained popularity thanks to social media subcommunities like BookTok and Bookstagram. Despite the name, Silent Book Club events aren’t entirely devoid of sound. Their meeting spaces, often local cafés, have their own noise — but a handful of no-talking coffee shops are on the rise. The latest, the new Shojo quiet café in Osaka, is run largely by deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals. Customers use sign language, handwriting, and pointing to order. Greenery can play a role, too. Planting rows of trees on streets reduces noise by up to 12 decibels And living walls, like the 30, 000-plant exterior (外墙) on an office building in Dusseldorf, Germany — the largest green exterior in Europe — take in noise while minimizing urban heat. 28. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Types of air pollution. B. Causes of health issues. C. Pollution topped by sound. D. Harm resulting from noise. 29. What do we know about digital natives? A. They are distracted online. B. They are eager for quiet. C. They initiated silent walking. D. They quit technology for good. 30 What do the underlined words “devoid of” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Opposed to. B. Filled with. C. Free of. D. Upset about. 31. What does the author indicate by mentioning the office building? A. Living walls cool the city. B. Germany excels in construction. C. Greenery helps absorb noise. D. The largest exterior is in Europe. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了现代生活中的噪音污染对人们健康的危害，以及人们为寻求宁静生活采取的一些措施。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。由第二段““I don’t think we’re wired for the amount of noise we experience,” says Norway-based psychologist Olga Lehmann, whose work centers on silence. Overexposure to noise pollution — particularly sounds above 85 decibels (分贝), roughly the level of a loud restaurant — can lead to hearing loss, high blood pressure, and stress. The World Health Organization named noise pollution a leading environmental cause of health issues, topped only by air pollution. (挪威心理学家Olga Lehmann的工作以沉默为中心，她说：“我认为我们不会因为所经历的噪音量而感到兴奋。”过度接触噪音污染，尤其是85分贝以上的声音，大致相当于一家吵闹的餐厅的音量——可能会导致听力损失、高血压和压力。世界卫生组织将噪音污染列为健康问题的主要环境原因，仅次于空气污染)”可知，第二段主要讲了噪音的危害。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“A few trends have shown the growing demand for quiet, particularly among younger generations, like silent walking, a phenomenon that went viral on TikTok last year as creators promoted the value of walking without distractions — no podcasts, music, or phone calls. The activity’s widespread popularity highlights how starved digital natives are for a break from the noise. (一些趋势表明，人们对安静的需求日益增长，尤其是在年轻一代中，比如无声行走，这一现象去年在TikTok上疯传，因为创作者们宣传了无干扰行走的价值——没有播客、音乐或电话。这项活动的广泛流行突显了数字原住民是多么渴望从噪音中解脱出来)”可知，数字原住民渴望安静。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。由第四段中“Despite the name, Silent Book Club events aren’t entirely devoid of sound. Their meeting spaces, often local cafés, have their own noise — but a handful of no-talking coffee shops are on the rise. (尽管名字叫“无声书俱乐部”，但活动并非完全devoid of声音。他们的会议空间，通常是当地的咖啡馆，有自己的噪音——但少数不说话的咖啡馆正在兴起)”可知，“无声书俱乐部”的会议通常是当地的咖啡馆举行，有自己的噪音，并非完全没有声音，划线词意为“免于（Free of）”。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段“Greenery can play a role, too. Planting rows of trees on streets reduces noise by up to 12 decibels And living walls, like the 30, 000-plant exterior (外墙) on an office building in Dusseldorf, Germany — the largest green exterior in Europe — take in noise while minimizing urban heat. (绿化也可以发挥作用。在街道上种植成排的树木可以降低高达12分贝的噪音。德国杜塞尔多夫一栋办公楼的30000株植物外墙——欧洲最大的绿色外墙——在吸收噪音的同时最大限度地减少了城市的热量)”可知，作者提到办公楼是为了表明绿化有助于吸收噪音。故选C项。 D The extreme environment of space, with reduced gravity, harsh radiation and the lack of regular sunrises and sunsets, can have dramatic effects on astronaut health, from muscle loss to an increased risk of heart disease. However, the cognitive effects of long-term space travel are less well documented. New research has looked at the cognitive performance of 25 astronauts during their time on the International Space Station (ISS). The team put the astronauts through the same set of 10 tests both on Earth and on the ISS. These were repeated once before, twice during, and twice after the mission, within 10 and 30 days of landing. The researchers found that the astronauts took longer to complete tests measuring processing speed, working memory and attention on the ISS than on Earth, but they were just as accurate. While there was no overall cognitive harm or lasting effect on the astronauts’ abilities, some of the measures, like processing speed, took longer to return to normal after they came back to Earth. Having clear data on the cognitive effects of space travel will be crucial for future human spaceflight, says Elisa Ferrè at the University of London. “A mission to Mars is not only longer in terms of time, but also in terms of autonomy (自主性),” says Ferre. “People there will have a completely different interaction with ground control because of distance and delays in communication, so they will need to be fully autonomous in making decisions. You definitely don’t want to have astronauts on Mars with slow reaction time.” “It’s not necessarily a great cause for an alarm, but it’s useful to be aware so that you know your limits when you’re in these extreme environments. It’s not just how you perform in those tests, but also the awareness of your ability. For instance, we know that if you lack sleep, your performance will often decline, but you won’t realize your performance has declined.” says Jo Bower at the University of East Anglia. 32. How many times were the astronauts tested in the research? A. Five. B. Seven. C. Ten. D. Thirty. 33. What did the new research find about astronauts? A. They reacted slower on the ISS. B. Their accuracy declined on Earth. C. Their abilities never returned to normal. D. They suffered long-term cognitive harm. 34. What is Elisa Ferrè’s attitude towards the research? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. 35. How does Jo Bower make his view clear? A. By comparing data. B. By giving an example. C. By analyzing causes. D. By defining key concepts. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了长期的太空旅行对宇航员在认知能力方面的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“New research has looked at the cognitive performance of 25 astronauts during their time on the International Space Station (ISS). The team put the astronauts through the same set of 10 tests both on Earth and on the ISS.

It’s not just how you perform in those tests, but also the awareness of your ability. For instance, we know that if you lack sleep, your performance will often decline, but you won’t realize your performance has declined. (这不一定是警报的好原因，但要意识到自己在这些极端环境中的极限是有用的。这不仅是你在这些测试中的表现，也是你对自己能力的认识。例如，我们知道，如果你睡眠不足，你的表现往往会下降，但你不会意识到你的表现已经下降)”可知，Jo Bower通过提到缺乏睡眠的例子来说明认知能力在极端环境下的变化。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) Wisdom is not just a good quality to have but it is also very necessary.

There was rarely any breeze, and it was extremely wet. The sky turned dark. Lightning danced across the sky, accompanied by low, rumbling (隆隆的) thunder. The heavy air seemed to press down on us, adding to our discomfort and unease. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was our son, David, an Army helicopter pilot. Three months earlier, he had begun a one-year assignment in a demilitarized zone (非武装区) in South Korea. David made an effort to sound cheerful, but as a man who had spent time during World War II on a small South Pacific island, I recognized the strong sense of homesickness. A booming clap of thunder shook again. “What was that?” David asked. “It sounded like an explosion.” “Just thunder,” Pat said. There were several seconds of silence. “David,” I asked, “Are you still there?” “I was thinking about what Mother said — ‘just thunder’. Other than the two of you, do you know what I miss most of all — what many of the men say they miss? Thunder. We have rain, wind, snow, and some violent storms, but never thunder.” “Remember, Dad, when I was a boy, how the two of us would stretch out on the floor and listen to the thunder? I wish I were there now to listen with you,” he said softly. As soon as I hung up the phone, I got my tape recorder, my large umbrella and a wooden chair. “I’m going to record our son some thunder,” I told Pat. With lightning flashing across the sky like a display of fireworks, I sat in the driving rain beneath my umbrella and recorded half an hour of the finest Mississippi thunder a lonely man could ever want to hear. The next day I mailed the tape to David with a single line: “A special gift.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David called again three weeks later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, thunder had different meanings for Pat and me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 David called again three weeks later. This time he was his old self. “Dad,” he said, “you won’t believe it! I invited some friends over and we listened to the tape together — instant silence, and then a few minutes of sadness. But once we realized we were listening to the sounds of home, we felt better and connected with the people we missed, like we’d been relieved of a heavy burden. I can’t tell you how much that tape meant to me,” he continued, “Thanks, Dad! It was really a special gift.” From then on, thunder had different meanings for Pat and me. For the next eight months, while David was in Korea, we found ourselves expecting thunderstorms. Rather than feeling depressed on gloomy days, we regarded the storms as a special gift, which seemed to tie us closer to a son so far from home. It was no longer just a sound to us but a bond, a reminder of love that stretched across the miles and brought us lose, no matter how far apart we were. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在异常炎热的一天和妻子帕特在甲板上喝咖啡，闪电划过天空，雷声阵阵，此时接到远在韩国非军事区服役的儿子大卫的电话，儿子了解到电话里的背景声音是雷声后，说想和父母一起听雷声，作者录制了雷声，把带有家乡记忆的录音带寄给了儿子，大卫收到后感到深深的感动和慰藉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“三周后，大卫再次打来电话。”可知，第一段可描写大卫接到录音带后邀请朋友一起听录音带，录音带给他们带来情感上的共鸣和慰藉，儿子对作者说感谢作者的礼物。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那时起，雷声对帕特和我来说就有了不同的含义。”可知，第二段可描写作者开始期待雷暴，不在对雷暴天气感到沮丧，而认为雷暴是让他们和远在异国他乡的儿子联系的纽带。 2.续写线索：大卫再次打来电话——大卫邀请朋友一起听录音带——录音带给他们带来情感上的共鸣和慰藉——儿子感谢作者的礼物——雷声对作者和妻子有了不同的意义——作者期待雷暴——认为雷暴是让他们和远在异国他乡的儿子联系的纽带——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize (that)/be aware that ②继续：continue/go on ③期望：expect/look forward to 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②沮丧的：depressed/frustrated 【点睛】[高分句型1] I can’t tell you how much that tape meant to me,” he continued, “Thanks, Dad!

As you exhale through your mouth, press your palms away. Make fists and inhale, pulling your arms back toward your chest. While doing this exercise, think about pushing away stress and pulling in calm. Repeat three times. Why this move: For some, physically acting out a desired emotional state — say, calm and steadiness — can encourage your brain to experience it. Your brain is not only sending out signals to the rest of your body; it’s receiving signals from you. ● BUILD INTENSITY Rock from side to side Plant your feet on the ground and gently bend your knees, relaxing your shoulders. Begin rocking at the pace of your thoughts. For instance, if your mind is racing, rock quickly. Then slow down your body as a way to slow your mind. Why this move: Rocking can calm the nervous system by creating a sense of predictable pace and steadiness in the body. ● COOL DOWN Sighs of relief and give yourself a hug Inhale through your nose, and as you exhale, let out a sigh. Repeat three to six times, allowing the sigh to lengthen and deepen each time. Then, embrace yourself and hold for at least 10 seconds. Why this move: Sighing can help to bring in calm by increasing your oxygen intake and lowering your heart rate. Wrapping your arms around your body can create a sense of personal safety. 21. What is the workout meant to do? A. Boost energy. B. Relax muscles. C Relieve stress. D. Improve memory. 22. How can rocking from side to side calm you? A. By sending out signals. B. By taking in more oxygen. C. By lowering the heart rate. D. By adjusting body movement. 23. What can self-embrace achieve when you cool down? A. Balance in the body. B. Sharpness in the brain. C. A feeling of security. D. A mind of a faster pace. B Back in the 1800s, some French artists packed their paint brushes and set off on long trips to capture the natural landscape and in the process, revolutionized art. Painting outdoors on location has recently inspired a newer trend: urban sketching, a kind of drawing with the text to describe the artist’s surroundings while traveling. Sketching on the go at different places around the globe opens your eyes to everything from the obvious to the invisible. A sketch captures a memory of people and places in a way that a photograph never can. Opposite to blitz travel, which focuses on the rapid, intensive exploration of multiple destinations in a very short period, urban sketching helps us slow down and step out of the rush by creating something by hand. As we draw, we notice the beauty in the ordinary: the way sunlight warms a scene, the comings and goings of locals in a market and the colors reflected in the water fountain. I went on my first urban sketching trip in 2023 to five coastal villages in Italy. I remember feeling frightened as I set up my sketchbook that first morning. My instructor, fellow sketchers and unfamiliar passers-by stopped by my side now and then. However, with each brushstroke, I soon became more and more engaged by the village’s arched passageways, old streets, and lemon trees. I found that when you stand still and spend hours absorbing and describing the small details around you, you begin to appreciate a place’s small differences. As a result, at the end of the five-day trip, I returned home with a deeper comprehension of Italian cuisine, customs and architecture. “As an art instructor, it’s wonderful to see how each participant brings a fresh perspective to what's in front of them,” says Alicia Aradilla, who has completed more than 700 watercolors from 20 countries and now leads urban sketching workshops and trips. “Every sketchbook ends up being different; I find it incredibly appealing.” 24. What do we know about urban sketching? A. It captures the natural landscape. B. It involves drawing and writing. C. It is launched by French artists. D. It is a fresh approach to indoor art. 25. What is a problem for people going on blitz travel? A. Views are explored in a hurry. B. Some of the scenes are invisible. C. Destinations are hard to reach. D. Photos are banned in some places. 26. How did the author feel at the end of his first urban sketch trip to Italy? A. He was scared of fellow sketchers. B. His cultural understanding deepened. C. He became crazy about Italian food. D. His drawings needed to be polished. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Urban sketchers can be creative and original. B. Sketch books are more appealing than photos. C. Urban sketching trips are in over 20 countries. D. Watercolors are the main style of urban sketching. C The soundtrack of modern life is overwhelming, from the roar of traffic to smartphones streaming videos around the clock. This has sent many people searching for a soundscape increasingly difficult to find: quiet. “I don’t think we’re wired for the amount of noise we experience,” says Norway-based psychologist Olga Lehmann, whose work centers on silence. Overexposure to noise pollution — particularly sounds above 85 decibels (分贝), roughly the level of a loud restaurant — can lead to hearing loss, high blood pressure, and stress. The World Health Organization named noise pollution a leading environmental cause of health issues, topped only by air pollution. A few trends have shown the growing demand for quiet, particularly among younger generations, like silent walking, a phenomenon that went viral on TikTok last year as creators promoted the value of walking without distractions — no podcasts, music, or phone calls. The activity’s widespread popularity highlights how starved digital natives are for a break from the noise. It could be as simple as sitting in a local park, museum, or library without technology for 10 minutes, or joining a silent yoga class. Silent Book Club, which brings readers together to read for an hour without chatter, has recently gained popularity thanks to social media subcommunities like BookTok and Bookstagram. Despite the name, Silent Book Club events aren’t entirely devoid of sound. Their meeting spaces, often local cafés, have their own noise — but a handful of no-talking coffee shops are on the rise. The latest, the new Shojo quiet café in Osaka, is run largely by deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals. Customers use sign language, handwriting, and pointing to order. Greenery can play a role, too. Planting rows of trees on streets reduces noise by up to 12 decibels And living walls, like the 30, 000-plant exterior (外墙) on an office building in Dusseldorf, Germany — the largest green exterior in Europe — take in noise while minimizing urban heat. 28. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Types of air pollution. B. Causes of health issues. C. Pollution topped by sound. D. Harm resulting from noise. 29. What do we know about digital natives? A. They are distracted online. B. They are eager for quiet. C. They initiated silent walking. D. They quit technology for good. 30. What do the underlined words “devoid of” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Opposed to. B. Filled with. C. Free of. D. Upset about. 31. What does the author indicate by mentioning the office building? A. Living walls cool the city. B. Germany excels in construction. C. Greenery helps absorb noise. D. The largest exterior is in Europe. D The extreme environment of space, with reduced gravity, harsh radiation and the lack of regular sunrises and sunsets, can have dramatic effects on astronaut health, from muscle loss to an increased risk of heart disease. However, the cognitive effects of long-term space travel are less well documented. New research has looked at the cognitive performance of 25 astronauts during their time on the International Space Station (ISS). The team put the astronauts through the same set of 10 tests both on Earth and on the ISS. These were repeated once before, twice during, and twice after the mission, within 10 and 30 days of landing. The researchers found that the astronauts took longer to complete tests measuring processing speed, working memory and attention on the ISS than on Earth, but they were just as accurate. While there was no overall cognitive harm or lasting effect on the astronauts’ abilities, some of the measures, like processing speed, took longer to return to normal after they came back to Earth. Having clear data on the cognitive effects of space travel will be crucial for future human spaceflight, says Elisa Ferrè at the University of London. “A mission to Mars is not only longer in terms of time, but also in terms of autonomy (自主性),” says Ferre. “People there will have a completely different interaction with ground control because of distance and delays in communication, so they will need to be fully autonomous in making decisions. You definitely don’t want to have astronauts on Mars with slow reaction time.” “It’s not necessarily a great cause for an alarm, but it’s useful to be aware so that you know your limits when you’re in these extreme environments. It’s not just how you perform in those tests, but also the awareness of your ability. For instance, we know that if you lack sleep, your performance will often decline, but you won’t realize your performance has declined.” says Jo Bower at the University of East Anglia. 32. How many times were the astronauts tested in the research? A. Five. B. Seven. C. Ten. D. Thirty. 33. What did the new research find about astronauts? A. They reacted slower on the ISS. B. Their accuracy declined on Earth. C. Their abilities never returned to normal. D. They suffered long-term cognitive harm. 34. What is Elisa Ferrè’s attitude towards the research? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. 35 How does Jo Bower make his view clear? A. By comparing data. B. By giving an example. C. By analyzing causes. D. By defining key concepts. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) Wisdom is not just a good quality to have but it is also very necessary.

My wife Pat and I were having a cup of coffee on our deck. There was rarely any breeze, and it was extremely wet. The sky turned dark. Lightning danced across the sky, accompanied by low, rumbling (隆隆的) thunder. The heavy air seemed to press down on us, adding to our discomfort and unease. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was our son, David, an Army helicopter pilot. Three months earlier, he had begun a one-year assignment in a demilitarized zone (非武装区) in South Korea. David made an effort to sound cheerful, but as a man who had spent time during World War II on a small South Pacific island, I recognized the strong sense of homesickness. A booming clap of thunder shook again. “What was that?” David asked. “It sounded like an explosion.” “Just thunder,” Pat said. There were several seconds of silence. “David,” I asked, “Are you still there?” “I was thinking about what Mother said — ‘just thunder’. Other than the two of you, do you know what I miss most of all — what many of the men say they miss? Thunder. We have rain, wind, snow, and some violent storms, but never thunder.” “Remember, Dad, when I was a boy, how the two of us would stretch out on the floor and listen to the thunder? I wish I were there now to listen with you,” he said softly. As soon as I hung up the phone, I got my tape recorder, my large umbrella and a wooden chair. “I’m going to record our son some thunder,” I told Pat. With lightning flashing across the sky like a display of fireworks, I sat in the driving rain beneath my umbrella and recorded half an hour of the finest Mississippi thunder a lonely man could ever want to hear. The next day I mailed the tape to David with a single line: “A special gift.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David called again three weeks later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, thunder had different meanings for Pat and me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Welcome to the national gallery for a Better visiting experience.
