More than three centuries after she made an adventurous transatlantic voyage to study butterflies, a rare copy of the hand-coloured masterwork by the great naturalist and artist Maria Merian is returning to Amsterdam.
Metamorphosis of the Suriname is one of the most fascinating (有吸引力的) books in natural history. It included some 60 richly coloured plates illustrating the different stages of development that she had observed in Suriname’s insects. Metamorphosis of the Suriname is a work of art and scientific scholarship. Merian recorded the local names of plants and insects she studied. In contrast to other European naturalists, she credited local people with helping her discover the colony’s wildlife, although didn’t name individuals.
Born in 1647 in Frankfurt, Germany, Merian learned to paint in her artist father’s workshop, and became fascinated by silkworms, moths and butterflies. At that time, insects were believed to spring forth magically from mud, waste and plant matter in a process known as “spontaneous generation”. While Merian was not the first to show the transformation from egg to adult insect, her artistic talents helped to bring this message to a wider audience. The pioneering work of Merian was celebrated for its scientific accuracy and for bringing a new standard of precision to scientific illustration.
In 1691 Merian moved to Amsterdam and opened her own studio. She worked as an independent artist and prepared specimens for a growing market of collectors. In Amsterdam, Merian had access to some of the finest natural history collections in the world. As she associated with famous scholars, physicians and botanists, ideas for her own voyage of discovery began to take shape. At 52, she embarked on (开始) a self-funded voyage to Suriname, driven by curiosity about the lives of insects.
Her image would be dismissed as a fantasy. In the 18th century, people responded: “that’ s what you get when you send a woman to tropical places. She probably made that up”. But scientists later confirmed her findings. The spider plate was a very good example of how Merian worked. She was a really good observer.
24. What do we know about Metamorphosis of the Suriname?
A. It won a book award for art. B. It listed the names of local helpers.
C. It recorded Merian’s transatlantic voyage. D. It was based on Merian’s own observations.
25. What was the significance of Merian’s work?
A. It had extremely high artistic value. B. It was the first natural history book.
C. It shaped our understanding of insects. D. It introduced a creative research theory.
26 What inspired Merian’s idea of a personal journey to Suriname?
A. Her encounter with noted scientists. B. Her ambition to expand her business.
C. Her dream to travel around the world. D. Her curiosity about the lives of insects.
27. What can be inferred about nature study in Merian’s time?
A. It lacked convincing evidence. B. It was conducted in tough places.
C. It was considered the domain of men. D. It greatly improved women’s social status.
C
Today’s digital media deliver rapid messages — such as phone notifications and text overlays on videos — to our brains at an impressive speed, far faster than spoken words reach us. But can we process these texts as quickly as we can determine the makeup of the visuals that are also a part of our screen life?
The scientists began their research by considering current scientific explanations of how we understand language, which center on word-by-word sentence processing models. They concluded these don’t effectively account for how quickly our brains can process entire sentences seen at a glance, as opposed to word by word like in speech.
The scientists used a technique called magnetoencephalography, which uses magnetic (磁的) fields to track electrical activity in the brain. While being scanned, volunteers were presented with a three-word sentence structure that flashed onto a screen for 300milliseconds, followed by a second set of words that was either identical or differed by one word. The participants were asked to assess whether the second sentence was the same as the first or had been changed.
The scans revealed that the left temporal cortex of the brain, which is an important part of the brain’s ability to understand language, showed higher levels of activity for three-word sentences than random word lists. The activity appeared in just 125 milliseconds. The fastest brain activity was observed when phrases like “nurses clean wounds” were presented, in comparison to noun lists such as “hearts lungs livers”.
A similar rapid response was noted when sentences with a subject, verb and object were altered so that they contained an agreement error — for example “nurses cleans wounds” — or became implausible (难以置信的), for example “wounds clean nurses”. But the effect disappeared when the sentences were given less typical structures, for example “wounds nurses clean” or “wounds cleans nurses”.
While the authors note they focused on English, adding that rapid at-a-glance comprehension may rely on other features in different languages, they say the study offers new insights. “The earliest stage of at-a-glance comprehension appears to be more structure than meaning driven,” they write.
28. What did the new research focus on?
A. The impact of constant flood of short messages.
B. Human brain’s comprehension of screen visuals.
C. The essence of word-by-word sentence processing.
D. Human brain’s at-a-glance sentence comprehension.
29. What task did researchers set for volunteers of the experiment?
A. Indicating whether the sentences match.
B. Correcting mistakes in the flashed sentences.
C. Interpreting the meanings of unstructured sentences.
D. Combining unrelated words to form meaningful sentences.
30. Which of the following was associated with the quickest brain response?
A. Lists of nouns. B. Three-word sentences.
C. Unstructured words. D. Less typical structures.
31. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning the research?
A. Its implication. B. Its practical application.
C Expectations for follow-up studies. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
D
In Morten Tyldum’s movie Passengers, characters Jim Preston and Aurora Lane are on a 120-year interstellar journey with 5,000 other people. Their destination: HomesteadⅡ, a new world to start their lives anew. To survive the travel, passengers entered hibernation (冬眠), each one frozen in their own pod. However, something goes wrong and Jim and Aurora wake up 90 years too early. But what if we told you that hibernation for space travel is more likely to happen than the romantic story between Jim and Aurora?
Hibernation is a state in which living organisms slow down their metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes while maintaining essential functions. Once inside these pods, astronauts will get drugs to adjust metabolism, reduce core temperature, and cause inactivity. Once back on Earth, they will wake up and gradually readopt their normal functional metabolism.
For going to Mars, astronauts would require about 30 kg of food, water, air, and other supplies per day. Thus, hibernation can significantly cut down on their essential needs. Additionally, hibernating astronauts wouldn’t get bored, stressed, or lonely, and less time and space would be needed to help keep them fit or entertained.
But this is merely the theory. Space agencies are investigating whether reducing body temperature and later inducing (导致) metabolism is a more practical option, while, most research projects are currently focusing on animals. The question is: how can we evoke hibernation in species that are not normally doing that? And this is why the research on rats, not naturally hibernating animals, is interesting. Research on bears is also important since their body size is more relatable to ours.
The concept is not being considered for the forthcoming Mars mission, but for longer missions to farther destinations such as the outer planets, it could be a very useful technology. Hibernation for humans is an ethically controversial concept, and critics may consider it as a mad scientist’s dream. However, without such dreamers, humanity would still be in the Middle Ages.
32. Why does the author mention the movie Passengers?
A. To advertise a popular sci-fi space movie.
B. To introduce a new approach to long spaceflights.
C. To explore the possibility of settling another planet.
D. To reveal the potential dangers of long space travels.
33. What happens to hibernating astronauts?
A. Their functional metabolism is disturbed.
B. They need more time and space for entertainment.
C. They lose the balance between basic needs and supplies.
D. Their physical and mental needs are reduced to a minimum.
34. What does the underlined word “evoke” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Initiate. B. Justify. C. Define. D. Prioritize.
35. What does the author think of hibernation for humans?
A. It may be a risky strategy. B. It is a dream hard to realize.
C. It can advance social progress. D. It challenges traditional moral values.

How to handle criticism in a healthy way
Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger (引发) feelings such as anger, shame, or fear. While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way. ____36____ Keeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism, but it can also help you move forward in life. Here’s how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage.
Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in. Having a stock comment in your pocket, such as, “That’s an interesting viewpoint,” can lessen the initial emotional impact. If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it. ____37____
Embrace it as a learning opportunity. We all make mistakes. As we go through life, we have plenty of opportunities to learn and improve. However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally. ____38____ Accept the fact that the other person’s comments may have hurt you. Once you have acknowledged it, you can allow yourself to use their words toward the process of self-improvement.
____39____ If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to.
Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you. ____40____ Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful.
A. Respond calmly.
B. Practice active listening.
C. It is quite normal to feel hurt.
D. It can be an opportunity to improve.
E. Getting a response is better than absolute silence.
F. This is a good time to clarify any misunderstandings.
G. This is better than responding in the heat of the moment.

My anxiety hasn’t completely gone away but remembering what I am ____53____ of on the bike, and the way it feels to race around the track, gives me the ____54____ boost that I need. It is truly like a form of therapy (疗法) and I feel the old, ____55____ me again.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We all have dreams. Yet so few of us realize them. Often, a dream dies as quickly as it is born because we lack the confidence to keep it. When I was old enough to understand the realities of life, I realized that society puts a high value on youth, beauty and intellectual achievement. This discovery gave me some idea to develop my dream.
I know beauty is something I will never have. So I didn't dream of becoming beautiful. But I didn't see it as something bad because it forced me to concentrate my energy to develop my other qualities. What people see in the disabled is only their appearance of being disabled. People are not impressed with the ability that lies inside every disabled person.
My dream was simple. I dreamed of becoming a typist. I always hoped to be able to master the typewriter. This magic machine would be my passport to getting a job. I come from a poor family and the best that my parents could give me was a good school education. But, of course, this achievement proved to be no sure guarantee of getting a job in an office. The employment field was a highly competitive place, especially for a disabled job-seeker.
However, I refused to give in. I decided to take a six-month training course in typing. I filled in the detailed information in the application form and wrote down typing as my training course. When I handed over the form to the interviewer, she looked at me and then moved her eyes to my body. She left and discussed with another member of the staff. When the interviewer returned, she advised me to change my choice from typing. “Why don’ t you take up dressmaking so you can earn while at home?” she said. “Offices prefer to hire smartly dressed, pretty girls with beautiful hands,” she added.
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。
I knew I didn't have those qualifications.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the course, I was chosen to type the files from the government office.

It's an honour to be back here standing on this very ground where IT all began. I remember sitting in this gym as a ninth grade high school student filled with dreams. I've always been a runner, but IT wasn't until tenth grade that I joined the track team. And then IT took another year after that to realize I wanted to run professionally. But IT wasn't the success that I was chasing. IT was the discipline. Waking up with the purpose. A team of runners with me and a coach who would do anything to see us improve is what motivated me. At that age. I really didn't believe in myself, but when I found great moral models who I trusted, I started to become a leader myself. Years later, I brought the lessons I learned right here to the school, to the olympic village. Now I can say that these lessons helped me win my medals, inspired my team and created the man I am today.

B
More than three centuries after she made an adventurous transatlantic voyage to study butterflies, a rare copy of the hand-coloured masterwork by the great naturalist and artist Maria Merian is returning to Amsterdam.
Metamorphosis of the Suriname is one of the most fascinating (有吸引力的) books in natural history. It included some 60 richly coloured plates illustrating the different stages of development that she had observed in Suriname’s insects. Metamorphosis of the Suriname is a work of art and scientific scholarship. Merian recorded the local names of plants and insects she studied. In contrast to other European naturalists, she credited local people with helping her discover the colony’s wildlife, although didn’t name individuals.
Born in 1647 in Frankfurt, Germany, Merian learned to paint in her artist father’s workshop, and became fascinated by silkworms, moths and butterflies. At that time, insects were believed to spring forth magically from mud, waste and plant matter in a process known as “spontaneous generation”. While Merian was not the first to show the transformation from egg to adult insect, her artistic talents helped to bring this message to a wider audience. The pioneering work of Merian was celebrated for its scientific accuracy and for bringing a new standard of precision to scientific illustration.
In 1691, Merian moved to Amsterdam and opened her own studio. She worked as an independent artist and prepared specimens for a growing market of collectors. In Amsterdam, Merian had access to some of the finest natural history collections in the world. As she associated with famous scholars, physicians and botanists, ideas for her own voyage of discovery began to take shape. At 52, she embarked on (开始) a self-funded voyage to Suriname, driven by curiosity about the lives of insects.
Her image would be dismissed as a fantasy. In the 18th century, people responded: “that’ s what you get when you send a woman to tropical places. She probably made that up”. But scientists later confirmed her findings. The spider plate was a very good example of how Merian worked. She was a really good observer.
24. What do we know about Metamorphosis of the Suriname?
A It won a book award for art. B. It listed the names of local helpers.
C. It recorded Merian’s transatlantic voyage. D. It was based on Merian’s own observations.
25. What was the significance of Merian’s work?
A. It had extremely high artistic value. B. It was the first natural history book.
C. It shaped our understanding of insects. D. It introduced a creative research theory.
26. What inspired Merian’s idea of a personal journey to Suriname?
A. Her encounter with noted scientists. B. Her ambition to expand her business.
C. Her dream to travel around the world. D. Her curiosity about the lives of insects.
27. What can be inferred about nature study in Merian’s time?
A. It lacked convincing evidence. B. It was conducted in tough places.
C. It was considered the domain of men. D. It greatly improved women’s social status.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了伟大的博物学家和艺术家玛丽亚・梅里安(Maria Merian)进行了一次充满冒险的跨大西洋之旅以研究蝴蝶,三个多世纪后,她的一本手绘彩色杰作的稀有副本正回归阿姆斯特丹。《苏里南昆虫变态图谱》是自然历史领域最具吸引力的书籍之一。文章同时讲述了梅里安的生平以及她做出的贡献。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Metamorphosis of the Suriname is one of the most fascinating (有吸引力的) books in natural history. It included some 60 richly coloured plates illustrating the different stages of development that she had observed in Suriname’s insects.( 《苏里南昆虫变态图谱》是自然史上最引人入胜的书籍之一。它包括大约60个色彩丰富的盘子,说明了她在苏里南观察到的昆虫的不同发展阶段。)” 可知,《苏里南昆虫变态图谱》是基于梅里安自己的观察(It was based on Merian’s own observations),书中有大约60幅色彩丰富的插图,描绘了她在苏里南观察到的昆虫的不同发育阶段。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“At that time, insects were believed to spring forth magically from mud, waste and plant matter in a process known as “spontaneous generation”. While Merian was not the first to show the transformation from egg to adult insect, her artistic talents helped to bring this message to a wider audience. The pioneering work of Merian was celebrated for its scientific accuracy and for bringing a new standard of precision to scientific illustration.( 当时,人们相信昆虫会神奇地从泥土、废物和植物物质中冒出来,这一过程被称为“自然发生”。虽然梅里安不是第一个展示从卵到成虫转变的人,但她的艺术才华有助于将这一信息带给更广泛的观众。梅里安的开创性工作因其科学准确性而闻名,并为科学插图带来了新的精确标准。)”可知,当时人们认为昆虫是通过“自然发生”从泥土、废物和植物物质中神奇地产生的,而梅里安的开创性工作以其科学准确性和为科学插图带来新的精确标准而受到赞誉,她的艺术才能让更多人了解到昆虫从卵到成虫的转变,说明她的作品塑造了我们对昆虫的理解(It shaped our understanding of insects),故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In Amsterdam, Merian had access to some of the finest natural history collections in the world. As she associated with famous scholars, physicians and botanists, ideas for her own voyage of discovery began to take shape. At 52, she embarked on (开始) a self-funded voyage to Suriname, driven by curiosity about the lives of insects.( 在阿姆斯特丹,梅里安可以接触到一些世界上最好的自然历史收藏品。当她与著名学者、医生和植物学家交往时,她自己的发现之旅的想法开始成形。52岁时,出于对昆虫生活的好奇,她自费前往苏里南。)”可知,在阿姆斯特丹,梅里安接触到了世界上一些最好的自然历史收藏,当她与著名学者、医生和植物学家交往时,她自己的探索之旅的想法开始成形,所以是她与著名科学家的接触(Her encounter with noted scientists)激发了她去苏里南的想法。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Her image would be dismissed as a fantasy. In the 18th century, people responded: “that’ s what you get when you send a woman to tropical places. She probably made that up”.( 她的形象会被认为是一种幻想。在18世纪,人们回答说:“这就是你把一个女人送到热带地区所得到的。”这可能是她编造的。”)”可知,在18世纪,人们认为派一个女人去热带地区得到的结果可能是编造的,这暗示在梅里安那个时代,自然研究被认为是男性的领域(It was considered the domain of men)。故选C项。
C
Today’s digital media deliver rapid messages — such as phone notifications and text overlays on videos — to our brains at an impressive speed, far faster than spoken words reach us. But can we process these texts as quickly as we can determine the makeup of the visuals that are also a part of our screen life?
The scientists began their research by considering current scientific explanations of how we understand language, which center on word-by-word sentence processing models. They concluded these don’t effectively account for how quickly our brains can process entire sentences seen at a glance, as opposed to word by word like in speech.
The scientists used a technique called magnetoencephalography, which uses magnetic (磁的) fields to track electrical activity in the brain. While being scanned, volunteers were presented with a three-word sentence structure that flashed onto a screen for 300milliseconds, followed by a second set of words that was either identical or differed by one word. The participants were asked to assess whether the second sentence was the same as the first or had been changed.
The scans revealed that the left temporal cortex of the brain, which is an important part of the brain’s ability to understand language, showed higher levels of activity for three-word sentences than random word lists. The activity appeared in just 125 milliseconds. The fastest brain activity was observed when phrases like “nurses clean wounds” were presented, in comparison to noun lists such as “hearts lungs livers”.
A similar rapid response was noted when sentences with a subject, verb and object were altered so that they contained an agreement error — for example “nurses cleans wounds” — or became implausible (难以置信的), for example “wounds clean nurses”. But the effect disappeared when the sentences were given less typical structures, for example “wounds nurses clean” or “wounds cleans nurses”.
While the authors note they focused on English, adding that rapid at-a-glance comprehension may rely on other features in different languages, they say the study offers new insights. “The earliest stage of at-a-glance comprehension appears to be more structure than meaning driven,” they write.
28. What did the new research focus on?
A. The impact of constant flood of short messages.
B. Human brain’s comprehension of screen visuals.
C. The essence of word-by-word sentence processing.
D. Human brain’s at-a-glance sentence comprehension.
29. What task did researchers set for volunteers of the experiment?
A. Indicating whether the sentences match.
B. Correcting mistakes in the flashed sentences.
C. Interpreting the meanings of unstructured sentences.
D. Combining unrelated words to form meaningful sentences.
30. Which of the following was associated with the quickest brain response?
A. Lists of nouns. B. Three-word sentences.
C. Unstructured words. D. Less typical structures.
31. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning the research?
A. Its implication. B. Its practical application.
C. Expectations for follow-up studies. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. A

细节理解题。根据第二段“The scientists began their research by considering current scientific explanations of how we understand language, which center on word-by-word sentence processing models. They concluded these don’t effectively account for how quickly our brains can process entire sentences seen at a glance, as opposed to word by word like in speech.(科学家们首先考虑了目前关于我们如何理解语言的科学解释,这些解释以逐字的句子处理模型为中心。他们得出的结论是,这些并不能有效地解释我们的大脑能多快地处理一眼看到的整个句子,而不是像讲话那样一个词一个词地处理)”可知,这项新研究的重点是人类大脑对句子的一瞥理解。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The participants were asked to assess whether the second sentence was the same as the first or had been changed.(参与者被要求评估第二句话是否与第一句相同,还是被改变了)”可知,研究人员安排实验志愿者指出句子是否匹配。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The scans revealed that the left temporal cortex of the brain, which is an important part of the brain’s ability to understand language, showed higher levels of activity for three-word sentences than random word lists. The activity appeared in just 125 milliseconds. The fastest brain activity was observed when phrases like “nurses clean wounds” were presented, in comparison to noun lists such as “hearts lungs livers”.(扫描显示,大脑的左颞叶皮层是大脑理解语言能力的重要组成部分,在三个单词的句子中比随机单词列表显示出更高的活动水平。这种活动仅在125毫秒内出现。与“心脏、肺、肝脏”等名词列表相比,当出现“护士清理伤口”等短语时,大脑活动最快)”可知,与最快的大脑反应有关是三个单词的句子。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While the authors note they focused on English, adding that rapid at-a-glance comprehension may rely on other features in different languages, they say the study offers new insights. “The earliest stage of at-a-glance comprehension appears to be more structure than meaning driven,” they write.(虽然作者指出,他们的研究重点是英语,并补充说,快速的一瞥理解可能依赖于不同语言的其他特征,但他们表示,这项研究提供了新的见解。他们写道:“一瞥理解的最早阶段似乎更多的是结构而不是意义驱动。”)”可知,这项研究提供了新的见解,最后一段讲了研究可能的影响。故选A。
D
In Morten Tyldum’s movie Passengers, characters Jim Preston and Aurora Lane are on a 120-year interstellar journey with 5,000 other people. Their destination: HomesteadⅡ, a new world to start their lives anew. To survive the travel, passengers entered hibernation (冬眠), each one frozen in their own pod. However, something goes wrong and Jim and Aurora wake up 90 years too early. But what if we told you that hibernation for space travel is more likely to happen than the romantic story between Jim and Aurora?
Hibernation is a state in which living organisms slow down their metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes while maintaining essential functions. Once inside these pods, astronauts will get drugs to adjust metabolism, reduce core temperature, and cause inactivity. Once back on Earth, they will wake up and gradually readopt their normal functional metabolism.
For going to Mars, astronauts would require about 30 kg of food, water, air, and other supplies per day. Thus, hibernation can significantly cut down on their essential needs. Additionally, hibernating astronauts wouldn’t get bored, stressed, or lonely, and less time and space would be needed to help keep them fit or entertained.
But this is merely the theory. Space agencies are investigating whether reducing body temperature and later inducing (导致) metabolism is a more practical option, while, most research projects are currently focusing on animals. The question is: how can we evoke hibernation in species that are not normally doing that? And this is why the research on rats, not naturally hibernating animals, is interesting. Research on bears is also important since their body size is more relatable to ours.
The concept is not being considered for the forthcoming Mars mission, but for longer missions to farther destinations such as the outer planets, it could be a very useful technology. Hibernation for humans is an ethically controversial concept, and critics may consider it as a mad scientist’s dream. However, without such dreamers, humanity would still be in the Middle Ages.
32. Why does the author mention the movie Passengers?
A. To advertise a popular sci-fi space movie.
B. To introduce a new approach to long spaceflights.
C. To explore the possibility of settling another planet.
D. To reveal the potential dangers of long space travels.
33. What happens to hibernating astronauts?
A. Their functional metabolism is disturbed.
B. They need more time and space for entertainment.
C. They lose the balance between basic needs and supplies.
D. Their physical and mental needs are reduced to a minimum.
34. What does the underlined word “evoke” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Initiate. B. Justify. C. Define. D. Prioritize.
35. What does the author think of hibernation for humans?
A. It may be a risky strategy. B. It is a dream hard to realize.
C. It can advance social progress. D. It challenges traditional moral values.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了太空旅行中冬眠的理论及其研究进展。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, something goes wrong and Jim and Aurora wake up 90 years too early. But what if we told you that hibernation for space travel is more likely to happen than the romantic story between Jim and Aurora?( 然而,事情出了问题,吉姆和奥罗拉提前90年醒来。但如果我们告诉你,太空旅行的冬眠比吉姆和奥罗拉之间的浪漫故事更有可能发生呢?)”可推知,作者提到电影《太空旅客》是为了引出下文关于太空旅行中冬眠这一话题,介绍一种长途太空飞行的新方法(To introduce a new approach to long spaceflights)。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“For going to Mars, astronauts would require about 30 kg of food, water, air, and other supplies per day. Thus, hibernation can significantly cut down on their essential needs. Additionally, hibernating astronauts wouldn’t get bored, stressed, or lonely, and less time and space would be needed to help keep them fit or entertained.( 为了去火星,宇航员每天需要大约30公斤的食物、水、空气和其他补给。因此,冬眠可以大大减少它们的基本需求。此外,冬眠的宇航员不会感到无聊、压力或孤独,而且需要更少的时间和空间来帮助他们保持健康或娱乐。)”可知,冬眠的宇航员基本需求会显著减少,也不会感到无聊、有压力或孤独,用于保持健康和娱乐的时间和空间也更少,说明他们的身体和心理需求都被降到了最低(Their physical and mental needs are reduced to a minimum)。故选D项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“And this is why the research on rats, not naturally hibernating animals, is interesting. Research on bears is also important since their body size is more relatable to ours.( 这就是为什么对老鼠的研究很有趣,而不是自然冬眠的动物。对熊的研究也很重要,因为它们的体型与我们的体型更接近。)”可知,此处为我们如何让那些通常不冬眠的物种进入冬眠状态?故可猜测划线单词evoke为“唤起,引起”的意思,和A选项Initiate“发起,启动”意思相近。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hibernation for humans is an ethically controversial concept, and critics may consider it as a mad scientist’s dream. However, without such dreamers, humanity would still be in the Middle Ages.( 人类冬眠在伦理上是一个有争议的概念,批评者可能认为这是疯狂科学家的梦想。然而,如果没有这样的梦想家,人类可能还停留在中世纪。)”可知,作者认为人类冬眠在伦理上有争议,批评者可能认为这是疯狂科学家的梦想,但如果没有这样的梦想家,人类可能还处于中世纪,说明作者认为人类冬眠可以推动社会进步(It can advance social progress)。故选C项。

How to handle criticism in a healthy way
Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger (引发) feelings such as anger, shame, or fear. While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way. ____36____ Keeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism, but it can also help you move forward in life. Here’s how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage.
Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in. Having a stock comment in your pocket, such as, “That’s an interesting viewpoint,” can lessen the initial emotional impact. If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it. ____37____
Embrace it as a learning opportunity. We all make mistakes. As we go through life, we have plenty of opportunities to learn and improve. However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally. ____38____ Accept the fact that the other person’s comments may have hurt you. Once you have acknowledged it, you can allow yourself to use their words toward the process of self-improvement.
____39____ If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to.
Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you. ____40____ Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful.
A. Respond calmly.
B. Practice active listening.
C. It is quite normal to feel hurt.
D. It can be an opportunity to improve.
E. Getting a response is better than absolute silence.
F. This is a good time to clarify any misunderstandings.
G. This is better than responding in the heat of the moment.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. C 39. B 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何以一种健康的方式处理批评的几点建议。
【36题详解】

Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in.(不要做出第一反应。感觉“受到攻击”可能会引发“战斗-逃跑-冻结”反应。深呼吸,冷静下来,让逻辑介入)”以及 “If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it.( 如果你受到了严厉的批评,那么你可以要求更多的时间来处理它)”可知,这里强调要控制第一反应,不要在情绪激动时回应。G选项This is better than responding in the heat of the moment.(这比在一时冲动时回应要好)承接上文内容,为对上文内容的语意递进,符合语境。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally.(然而,积极地接受批评并不意味着把自己封闭起来)”可知,积极接受批评并不意味着在情感上封闭自己。C选项It is quite normal to feel hurt.(感到受伤是很正常的)承接上文,说明即使要积极接受批评,感到受伤也是正常的。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to.(如果批评是一种反馈,那么了解反馈到底是什么是很重要的。批评的真正意图是什么?例如,如果你的老板在你所犯的错误上给你反馈,他可能是在试图传达你如何在未来纠正和避免错误。试着理解你的批评者在说什么,如果需要的话寻求澄清)”可知,这一段主要讲要理解批评的真正意图,也就是要积极倾听。B选项Practice active listening.(练习积极倾听)符合段落主旨,适合作为该段的小标题。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you.(感谢那些提出批评的人。有时他们是出于想要帮助你的目的。这需要勇气,是一件非常慷慨的事情。即使他们不想帮忙,他们也会花时间回应你)”以及下文“Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful.(引起反应意味着你做了一些有趣的事情——为此,你应该心存感激)”可知,这里强调要感谢批评者,因为得到回应总比绝对的沉默要好。E选项Getting a response is better than absolute silence.(得到回应比绝对的沉默要好)起承上启下作用,符合语境。故选E项。

【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:历史上很少有时刻像梅兰芳用他的京剧表演迷住美国观众的那六个月一样,使中美两国走得如此之近。此处为句子的谓语,根据句意,此处强调过去发生的动作对现在的影响,所以使用现在完成时,主语Few moments为名词复数。故填have brought。
【57题详解】

【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:通过与这些有影响力的人物交往,梅能够提升京剧在美国观众眼中的地位。此处为形容词作定语修饰personalities,influence的形容词为influential意为“有影响力的”符合句意。故填influential。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:你可以从美国人写的评论中看到他们对他感到多么深刻地被触动和尊敬,并意识到文化交流的重要性。此处与空后的respectful为并列关系,所以此处是形容词作表语,touch的形容词为touched意为“受感动”,表示受到感动的状态。故填touched。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:梅兰芳的开创性演出不仅将京剧介绍给国际观众,还为艺术卓越设定了一个继续激励当代从业者的标准。此处定语从句的谓语动词,结合句意,此处讲述的是客观事实,所以此处使用一般现在时,主语that指代的先行词a standard 为第三人称单数,所以此处使用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填continues。

We all have dreams. Yet so few of us realize them. Often a dream dies as quickly as it is born because we lack the confidence to keep it. When I was old enough to understand the realities of life, I realized that society puts a high value on youth, beauty and intellectual achievement. This discovery gave me some idea to develop my dream.
I know beauty is something I will never have. So I didn't dream of becoming beautiful. But I didn't see it as something bad because it forced me to concentrate my energy to develop my other qualities. What people see in the disabled is only their appearance of being disabled. People are not impressed with the ability that lies inside every disabled person.
My dream was simple. I dreamed of becoming a typist. I always hoped to be able to master the typewriter. This magic machine would be my passport to getting a job. I come from a poor family and the best that my parents could give me was a good school education. But, of course, this achievement proved to be no sure guarantee of getting a job in an office. The employment field was a highly competitive place, especially for a disabled job-seeker.
However, I refused to give in. I decided to take a six-month training course in typing. I filled in the detailed information in the application form and wrote down typing as my training course. When I handed over the form to the interviewer, she looked at me and then moved her eyes to my body. She left and discussed with another member of the staff. When the interviewer returned, she advised me to change my choice from typing. “Why don’ t you take up dressmaking so you can earn while at home?” she said. “Offices prefer to hire smartly dressed, pretty girls with beautiful hands,” she added.

At the end of the course, I was chosen to type the files from the government office.
【答案】One possible version:
I knew I didn’t have those qualifications. But determined to stay with my choice of typing, I looked her straight in the eyes and said firmly, “I will be a really good typist”. With doubt still hanging in her eyes, she admitted me into the course, offering me a one-month trial. Finally, I passed the first knockout round and was allowed to continue with the course. I put more efforts into the training, taking every care to be neat and fast, and finished the assignments quickly and perfectly.
At the end of the course, I was chosen to type the files from the government office. Being a typist was just the beginning of the climb and I did not mind starting at the bottom of the ladder. I set out to achieve other dreams. Overcoming one challenge after another, I gradually built up self-confidence, which shaped my positive attitude toward life. Dreamers should keep reaching out for their dreams, no matter what the pain, until they get what they want. When they are settled comfortably, they can sit back and tell the world. “I did it.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者追求梦想的历程。我们常因缺乏自信让梦想破灭,作者身为残疾人,因社会对青春、美貌和智力成就的看重,且自身没有美貌,决定专注发展其他品质。作者梦想成为打字员,虽出身贫困且身为残疾人面临就业竞争,但未放弃。申请打字培训课程时遭面试官劝阻,仍坚持选择打字并获试用机会,通过努力完成培训。课程结束后为政府办公室打字,视此为起点继续追求其他梦想,在克服挑战中建立自信、形成积极态度。文章以此鼓励追梦者不惧痛苦,坚持追梦直至成功。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我知道我没有这些资格。”可知,第一段可描写作者决定坚持自己的梦想以及通过了第一轮淘汰赛。
②由第二段首句内容“在课程结束时,我被选中从政府办公室开始打印文件。”可知,第二段可描写作者开始实现其他的梦想,克服了一个又一个的挑战。
