It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
24. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015?
A. To cheer himself up.
B. To please his grandma.
C. To take his grandma to travel.
D. To share his travelling experiences.
25. How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the ocean or mountains?
A. Shocked. B. Sad.
C. Doubtful. D. Excited
26. What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him?
A. She made him live a better life.
B. She helped him find his life goal.
C. She told him to have peace of mind.
D. She gave him a lot of encouragement.
27. What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online?
A. To advise young people to take a trip.
B. To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.
C. To encourage the young to keep their elders company.
D. To show young people what they can learn from their elders.

When the first digital emoticon “:-)” was posted on Sept 19, 1982, by professor Scott Fahlman at Carnegie Mellon University, US, internet history was made. Now, there are more than 3,600 emojis available for us, noted CNN.
“They offer things that words aren’t saying. They clarify that when you say ‘okay’, what kind of okay that is.” Jennifer Daniel—head of the Emoji Subcommittee for the Unicode Consortium, an organization in charge of choosing official emojis—told CNN. Daniel went on to say that emojis add natural elements of face-to-face communication to conversations, such as body language, intonation, volume and eye contact.
But the meanings of emojis are quite different geographically. For example, people in the West prefer to express their feelings through the mouth and chin; so, to show happiness, they often put great emphasis on the corners of the mouth turning up. But in the East, people are more emotionally restrained and their emotions are shown through the eyes instead.
Emojis can be used differently even within the same country. A smiley face with a waving hand is one such example. For most people, this kind of emoji is friendly while some young people use it to show the breakup of a relationship.
Just as language develops, so do emojis. The Unicode Consortium brings out new emojis every year, showing care when it comes to race, gender and other sensitive aspects in new emoji sets. In 2015, it released different skin tones. In 2016, different job emojis were added, such as teacher and firefighter—along with female versions for these jobs. In 2019, emojis of disabled people were added, including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs.
What is the future for emojis? They are already shaping social media as existing and new platforms evolve to respond to their expanding uses. Will the emoji evolve to become an international language with the growth of digitalization (数字化)? Or is technology changing so fast that emojis could go the way of the emoticon and fade in popularity after the next big thing comes along? It is hard to predict—even technology and language experts are divided on the subject.
28. Why do we use emojis, according to Daniel?
A. To replace body language. B. To fully express ourselves.
C. To add fun to the conversation. D. To stress what we want to say.
29 Which emoji is most likely to be used by people in the West to express happiness?
A. A face with a hand over the mouth. B. A face with a raised eyebrow.
C. A smiley face with a waving hand. D. A face with an upward curving of the mouth.
30. What does the underlined word “restrained” mean in the third paragraph?
A. Recognized. B. Remained. C. Controlled. D. Influenced.
31. What does the author think about the future of emojis?
A. It remains to be seen.
B. They will lose favor sooner or later.
C. They will become even more popular.
D. They will develop into a universal language.
D
We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true?
According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water.
As is mentioned in Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste.
“But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”
People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.
With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be full of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA.
32. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. show an example B. draw a conclusion
C. introduce a topic D. analyze a phenomenon
33. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree?
A. Covered water can last for a thousand years.
B. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it.
C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter.
D. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
34. What does the underlined word “multiply” in paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Increase. B. Reduce. C. Die. D. Adapt.
35. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Why Water Is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water
C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water

How to pick a great book to read
The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you’ll really like? Here are some tips:
What makes you happy?
If you have a favorite hobby or pastime, look for books about that activity. ___36___ Do there exist a few careers you’re interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like, and you’re more likely to enjoy reading a book if you’re already interested in its subject.
Fact or fiction?
___37___ Those are called fiction books. Novels, short stories, and fables are all examples of fiction. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why. They tell stories using facts—but that doesn’t mean they’re boring. Nonfiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon to what it’s like to explore the deepest oceans. Many of them read like novels from start to finish. Try both fiction and nonfiction books to see which you like better.
Find a family favorite.
What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age? Or your dad’s? What about a sibling’s? ___38___ Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts. It’s a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you’ll enjoy!
___39___
Your local library is a great place to find books that you’ll love, and you don’t have to search all by yourself. Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you’re into—and the names of some books you already like. Your librarian can help you find other books that you’re sure to love. Your teacher is another good person to ask.
Launch a book swap.
Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books? It’s always fun to see what your friends are reading. Even if they’re not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for book swaps in your area. ___40___
A. Ask an expert.
B. Set up a private library.
C. Ask them and give it a read.
D. Read as many books as possible.
E. Some books are entirely made up and imagined.
F. Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific celebrity?

When we see cute babies, puppies, or other adorable things, it isn’t uncommon to feel a strong urge to pinch (捏) or even bite them. It turns out there’s a ___56___ (science) term for this response: “cute aggression”.
In 2015 Yale University researchers ___57___ (publish) a study about human responses to cuteness, ___58___ are often both positive and negative. They concluded that reactions to cuteness — ___59___ (range) from smiles to tears to aggression—are brought on by the degree of positive emotion.

To see whether this phenomenon could be measured in brain activity, researchers fitted 54 participants with electrode caps ___61___ (measure) brain activity and showed them 32 photographs of adult and baby animals. The result is, the images of baby animals received ___62___ (strong) response than those of adult animals, and participants expressed more cute aggression toward baby animals.
Researchers also found connections ___63___ the degree of cute aggression and the brain’s reward response to adorable animals: when these two powerful systems—emotion and reward—___64___ (start), the brain adjusts to the flood of positive feelings by adding a little aggression.

It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
24. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015?
A. To cheer himself up.
B. To please his grandma.
C. To take his grandma to travel.
D. To share his travelling experiences.
25. How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the ocean or mountains?
A. Shocked. B. Sad.
C Doubtful. D. Excited
26. What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him?
A. She made him live a better life.
B. She helped him find his life goal.
C. She told him to have peace of mind.
D. She gave him a lot of encouragement.
27. What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online?
A. To advise young people to take a trip.
B. To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.
C. To encourage the young to keep their elders company.
D. To show young people what they can learn from their elders.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了Brad Ryan和祖母的旅行以及他对此的感受。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.”可知,布拉德·瑞安(Brad Ryan) 2015年去看望85岁的奶奶时,已经厌倦了兽医学校的学习。他希望一些高质量的家庭时间将有助于提高他的精神。由此可知,他去看望奶奶是希望提升他的精神。A(使自己振作起来)表达此意。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains”可知,当听到奶奶再也看不见大海和山脉的时候,他心碎了。由此可知,他很“伤心”。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.””可知,Ryan认为,祖母每天早上醒来都为能活着而心存感激,这教会了他如何生活。和祖母在一起,Ryan不得不放慢脚步,用不同的方式看待生活,这让生活丰富了很多。由此推知,祖母使得Ryan过一种更好的生活。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
”可知,瑞安把他们所有的旅行都贴在了Facebook上。他希望更多的年轻人能抽出时间和他们的长辈在一起。“我想让年轻人知道,和祖父母在一起很酷。我们可以从长辈那里学到很多东西。”由此判断出,他把和祖母的旅行发布到网上的目的是鼓励年轻人们抽时间和长辈在一起,陪伴他们。故选C。
C
When the first digital emoticon “:-)” was posted on Sept 19, 1982, by professor Scott Fahlman at Carnegie Mellon University, US, internet history was made. Now, there are more than 3,600 emojis available for us, noted CNN.
“They offer things that words aren’t saying. They clarify that when you say ‘okay’, what kind of okay that is.” Jennifer Daniel—head of the Emoji Subcommittee for the Unicode Consortium, an organization in charge of choosing official emojis—told CNN. Daniel went on to say that emojis add natural elements of face-to-face communication to conversations, such as body language, intonation, volume and eye contact.
But the meanings of emojis are quite different geographically. For example, people in the West prefer to express their feelings through the mouth and chin; so, to show happiness, they often put great emphasis on the corners of the mouth turning up. But in the East, people are more emotionally restrained and their emotions are shown through the eyes instead.
Emojis can be used differently even within the same country. A smiley face with a waving hand is one such example. For most people, this kind of emoji is friendly while some young people use it to show the breakup of a relationship.
Just as language develops, so do emojis. The Unicode Consortium brings out new emojis every year, showing care when it comes to race, gender and other sensitive aspects in new emoji sets. In 2015, it released different skin tones. In 2016, different job emojis were added, such as teacher and firefighter—along with female versions for these jobs. In 2019, emojis of disabled people were added, including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs.
What is the future for emojis? They are already shaping social media as existing and new platforms evolve to respond to their expanding uses. Will the emoji evolve to become an international language with the growth of digitalization (数字化)? Or is technology changing so fast that emojis could go the way of the emoticon and fade in popularity after the next big thing comes along? It is hard to predict—even technology and language experts are divided on the subject.
28. Why do we use emojis, according to Daniel?
A. To replace body language. B. To fully express ourselves.
C. To add fun to the conversation. D. To stress what we want to say.
29. Which emoji is most likely to be used by people in the West to express happiness?
A. A face with a hand over the mouth. B. A face with a raised eyebrow.
C. A smiley face with a waving hand. D. A face with an upward curving of the mouth.
30. What does the underlined word “restrained” mean in the third paragraph?
A. Recognized. B. Remained. C. Controlled. D. Influenced.
31. What does the author think about the future of emojis?
A. It remains to be seen.
B. They will lose favor sooner or later.
C. They will become even more popular.
D. They will develop into a universal language.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了网络交流使用的表情符号。表情符号在各国文化及不同年龄人群中的差异并介绍其会不断变化发展。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They offer things that words aren’t saying. They clarify that when you say ‘okay’, what kind of okay that is.(它们提供了语言无法表达的东西。他们会阐明当你说‘好’的时候,是什么样的‘好’)”可知,Daniel认为表情符号可以帮助我们更好的表达。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For example, people in the West prefer to express their feelings through the mouth and chin; so, to show happiness, they often put great emphasis on the corners of the mouth turning up.(例如,西方人喜欢通过嘴和下巴来表达自己的感情;因此,为了表示快乐,他们经常把重点放在嘴角上翘的弧度)”可知,西方人表达快乐喜欢使用一个嘴角向上弯的笑脸表示。故选D项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上一句“For example, people in the West prefer to express their feelings through the mouth and chin; so, to show happiness, they often put great emphasis on the corners of the mouth turning up.(例如,西方人喜欢通过嘴和下巴来表达自己的感情;因此,为了表示快乐,他们经常把重点放在嘴角上翘的弧度)”及划线词后“their emotions are shown through the eyes instead(他们的情感是通过眼睛来表达的)”可知,西方人表达情感面部动作幅度会大一些,更为开放,而东方人主要靠眼神传达情感。由此可知,东方人表达情感是内敛的,克制的。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is hard to predict—even technology and language experts are divided on the subject.(这很难预测——即使是技术和语言专家在这个问题上也存在分歧)”可知,作者认为表情符号未来的发展是不可预测的,现在谁也不知道,要等到了将来才知道。A项中的短语remain to be seen的意思是“拭目以待,尚不确切或尚未决定的事情,存在不确定性”。故选A项。
D
We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true?
According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water.
As is mentioned in Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste.
“But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”
People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.
With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be full of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA.
32. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. show an example B. draw a conclusion
C. introduce a topic D. analyze a phenomenon
33. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree?
A. Covered water can last for a thousand years.
B. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it.
C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter.
D. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
34. What does the underlined word “multiply” in paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Increase. B. Reduce. C. Die. D. Adapt.
35. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Why Water Is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water
C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就喝剩下的水是否会变坏进行了研究。研究表明没喝完的水虽然味道有点怪,但只要水质是好的,保存恰当不被细菌污染,是不会变坏的。但专家建议不要用塑料杯,要用金属或玻璃制品装热水。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true?(我们都知道水是无味的。但这种情况时有发生:你拿起昨天没喝完的那瓶水,它的味道很奇怪。大多数情况下,你倾向于把瓶子扔进垃圾桶,以为水已经变质了。但这是真的吗?)”及下文的内容可推知,第一段的目的就是引出下文的一个话题。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Truls Krogh的话“If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.(如果水被覆盖,并且水质良好,原则上它可以持续一千年。这是因为当水是新鲜的时候,它含有很少的有机物。只要把水装在干净的玻璃杯或瓶子里,就不会有污染物进入,危害我们的健康)”可知,只要水质好,保存在干净的容器内,就不会有污染物,都是安全可饮用的。由此推知,Truls Krogh可能同意这个观点,把水装在干净的容器里可能是可以安全饮用的。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Sooner or later, the water will be full of the unfriendly bacteria.(迟早,水中会充满不友好的细菌)”可知,在周围温度和透过窗户照射进来的阳光的帮助下,这些微生物迅速繁殖。由此可知,划线词multiply与Increase“增加”意思一致。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段中的“But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true?(但这种情况时有发生:你拿起昨天没喝完的那瓶水,它的味道很奇怪。大多数情况下,你倾向于把瓶子扔进垃圾桶,以为水已经变质了。但这是真的吗?)”提出了本文的话题,下文对“But is it true?”进行了大量的研究调查,证明只要水质好,保存在干净的容器内,不被污染都是安全可饮用的。由此可知,C项Does Water Really Go Bad? (水真的会坏吗?)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。

How to pick a great book to read
The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you’ll really like? Here are some tips:
What makes you happy?
If you have a favorite hobby or pastime, look for books about that activity. ___36___ Do there exist a few careers you’re interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like, and you’re more likely to enjoy reading a book if you’re already interested in its subject.
Fact or fiction?
___37___ Those are called fiction books. Novels, short stories, and fables are all examples of fiction. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why. They tell stories using facts—but that doesn’t mean they’re boring. Nonfiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon to what it’s like to explore the deepest oceans. Many of them read like novels from start to finish. Try both fiction and nonfiction books to see which you like better.
Find a family favorite.
What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age? Or your dad’s? What about a sibling’s? ___38___ Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts. It’s a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you’ll enjoy!
___39___
Your local library is a great place to find books that you’ll love, and you don’t have to search all by yourself. Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you’re into—and the names of some books you already like. Your librarian can help you find other books that you’re sure to love. Your teacher is another good person to ask.
Launch a book swap.
Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books? It’s always fun to see what your friends are reading. Even if they’re not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for book swaps in your area. ___40___
A. Ask an expert.
B. Set up a private library.
C. Ask them and give it a read.
D. Read as many books as possible.
E. Some books are entirely made up and imagined.
F. Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific celebrity?

When we see cute babies, puppies, or other adorable things, it isn’t uncommon to feel a strong urge to pinch (捏) or even bite them. It turns out there’s a ___56___ (science) term for this response: “cute aggression”.
In 2015 Yale University researchers ___57___ (publish) a study about human responses to cuteness, ___58___ are often both positive and negative. They concluded that reactions to cuteness — ___59___ (range) from smiles to tears to aggression—are brought on by the degree of positive emotion. Cute aggression doesn’t appear to be driven by aggressive intention. Instead, it is ___60___ way for us to cope with intense positive emotions.
To see whether this phenomenon could be measured in brain activity, researchers fitted 54 participants with electrode caps ___61___ (measure) brain activity and showed them 32 photographs of adult and baby animals. The result is, the images of baby animals received ___62___ (strong) response than those of adult animals, and participants expressed more cute aggression toward baby animals.
Researchers also found connections ___63___ the degree of cute aggression and the brain’s reward response to adorable animals: when these two powerful systems—emotion and reward—___64___ (start), the brain adjusts to the flood of positive feelings by adding a little aggression. Researchers believe that aggressive responses may have played a role in the ____65____ (survive) and adaptation of our species over time, helping us regulate emotions and strengthen social bonds.
【答案】56. scientific
57. published
58. which 59. ranging
60. a 61. to measure
62. stronger
63. between
64. are started
65. survival
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。当看到可爱的小朋友或毛茸茸的小动物时,人们经常会有想要捏一捏或咬上一口的冲动。耶鲁大学的一项研究指出,人们在面对可爱的事物时,常会产生一种“侵略性”的想法,即使并没有任何攻击性的意图,因为可爱的事物会给大脑带来过多的“正向能量”,导致大脑无法承受,因此需要一种机制来中和这种过度的情绪。这种心理通常被称为“可爱侵略性”。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:事实证明,这种反应有一个科学术语:“可爱的攻击”。此处应该用形容词修饰名词term(术语)。故填 scientific。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:2015年,耶鲁大学的研究人员发表了一项关于人类对可爱的反应的研究,这些反应通常有积极的也有消极的。根据时间状语In 2015可知,此处应该用一般过去时态。故填published。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:2015年,耶鲁大学的研究人员发表了一项关于人类对可爱的反应的研究,这些反应通常有积极的也有消极的。句中先行词为human responses,在非限定性定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们得出结论,对可爱的反应——从微笑到眼泪到攻击性——是由积极情绪的程度引起的。空处为非谓语动词,reactions to cuteness与range为主动关系。本句要用现在分词作状语,起到补充说明的作用。故填ranging。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:相反,它是我们应对强烈积极情绪的一种方式。a way to do sth.一种做某事的方法。故填a。
61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了观察这种现象是否可以通过大脑活动来测量,研究人员给54名参与者戴上电极帽来测量大脑活动,并向他们展示了32张成年动物和小动物的照片。本句要用不定式做目的状语。故填to measure。
【62题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:结果表明,动物幼崽的图像比成年动物的图像得到更强烈的反应,并且参与者对动物幼崽表现出更多的可爱攻击性。根据介词than和句意可知,此处要用形容词的比较级形式。故填stronger。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意: 研究人员还发现了可爱的攻击性程度和大脑对可爱动物的奖励反应之间的联系:当这两个强大的系统——情感和奖励——启动时,大脑会通过增加一点攻击性来适应积极情绪的泛滥。between…and… 在……和……之间。故填between。
【64题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:研究人员还发现了可爱的攻击性程度和大脑对可爱动物的奖励反应之间的联系:当这两个强大的系统——情感和奖励——启动时,大脑会通过增加一点攻击性来适应积极情绪的泛滥。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。主语systems为复数,与start之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填are started。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:研究人员认为,随着时间的推移,攻击性反应可能在人类的生存和适应中发挥了作用,帮助我们调节情绪,加强社会联系。根据并列连词and后名词adaptation可知,此处应该用survive的名词形式在句中作宾语。故填survival。

【答案】范文
It is obvious that more and more students spend much time on short videos nowadays. Almost everywhere you go, you can find students absorbed in the vivid content on the screen.
Watching short videos is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, watching short videos is a good way for us to have a break and get rid of the pressure from school. Besides, we can also learn some knowledge and useful skills at the same time. On the other hand, if not controlled, students can easily indulge in short videos, which makes them unable to focus on their studies.
