Dates are selling fast.(上周末我们看到了66头座头鲸，还有几十头蓝鲸、几头长须鲸和一头小须鲸！今年我们还看到了十多年来最多的海豚和鼠海豚。现在有这么多海洋动物可看！日期预订得很快。)”可知，这部分介绍了近期看到的众多海洋动物且强调日期预订快，其主要目的是鼓励读者尽快预订行程。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Clothing:中“Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also essential.(帽子、太阳镜和防晒霜也是必不可少的。)”可知，为了有一个愉快的观鲸之旅，建议游客采取防晒措施。故选C项。 B My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts. At one point, two women quarreled for several minutes after colliding in the freezer section. Things got worse at the checkout line.The cashier scanned a man's discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting intentionally and began to argue. Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who took him to customer service. Shaken , she moved to the next customer in line. We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. My reaction when I see them is both personal and professional. I am a data analyst and sociologist who studies how and why people interact with one another--or why they choose not to. To me, the grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has faded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith — starting with just one person. Therefore, my wife and I reached the disturbed cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. We learned her name was Beth. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Beth’s face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items.She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left. That is the balancing act, the moment of countering social and emotional pain with healing, that will add up to restore trust across the United States. You can start that pattern in someone else's life , even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store. 4. By describing the arguments, the author wants to show__________. A. the job as a cashier is not easy. B. people in the U.S are unfriendly. C. arguments in public are very common. D. confidence in each other has worn off. 5. How did Beth probably feel when the couple gave her a bottle of water? A. Sad and regretful. B. Sorry and wronged. C. Cheerful and rewarded. D. Grateful and relieved. 6. What's author's attitude towards Americans' regaining trust? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring D. Cautious 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Miserable Cashier. B. A Helping Hand. C. Learning to Trust Again. D. Starting a new life. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章通过在一个拥挤的杂货店里人与人之间互不相让、互相争吵的例子，作者觉得美国社会人与人之间的信任在慢慢消失。但另一方面作者又觉得重建与人之间的信任，可以从很平常的生活中开始。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。文章前三段描述了在一个拥挤的杂货店里，人们各种互不相让、互相争吵的情景。根据第4段the grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has faded.可知，作者认为杂货店的令人不舒服的场景是人与人之间的信任在慢慢消失的一个例子。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第5段Beth’s face lit up （Beth面露喜色）可知，作者买一瓶水给Beth, 并且对她说“We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.”，以及第5段最后一句 and she thanked us as we left可知，作者让Beth 感到欣慰和感激。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。据文章最后一段That is the balancing act, the moment of countering social and emotional pain with healing, that will add up to restore trust across the United States.可知，作者认为我们可以在日常生活中通过一些小小的行为帮助那些由于社会原因承受情感上的痛苦的人们，这将有助于恢复人与人之间的信任。因此作者对美国社会恢复人与人之间的信任是持乐观态度的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。在一个拥挤的杂货店，由于顾客的原因，收银员与顾客发生争吵，收银员承受了情感上的痛苦。作为一名数据分析师和社会学家，作者抓住这个时刻，分析如何才能重建人与人之间的信任。根据第4段But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith （这也是一个教我们如何重建信任的时刻）和最后一段that will add up to restore trust across the United States（那会有助于人与人之间恢复信任）可推断，文章是探讨了如何重建美国社会人与人之间的信任。由此可知，C项适合做本文最佳标题。故选C项。 C Ethan Hardy started his Brigham Young University (BYU) experience as many students do — curious, yet undecided on a major, maybe music or biology — but he knew one thing forcertain: he was going to take advantage of every chance BYU provided him by paying it forward. “Here at BYU, I’ve got so many opportunities that are invested in my success,” said Hardy. “I want to be someone who helps others along in their journey.” During his first year and a half at BYU, Hardy has volunteered as a piano teacher at Provo’s South Franklin Community Center, teaching weekly piano lessons to children who might otherwise not be able to afford them. “It’s been very valuable,” said Hardy. “I love teaching and seeing students grow. But the reason I’ve stuck with it is the relationships I’ve built with these kids and their families.” For Hardy, finding time each week amidst a busy school schedule to teach piano at the community center isn't a matter of trade-offs; it’s an important part of his college experience that has encouraged him to put his ability and character into action. A gifted pianist, Hardy arrived on campus in 2022 with a deep understanding of the power of music. Still, he couldn’t forget his love for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). “I’ve always been drawn to subjects like math and science, which was why I was interested in medicine when I was young,” said Hardy. Hardy recently began a summer internship (实习) at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he’s working with Dr. Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and other students researching lung cancer．He’ll also join a nonprofit (非营利组织), helping to raise awareness of the importance of lung cancer screening through events and community outreach. Studying medicine by day and teaching music by night, Hardy is proving that when your priorities (优先事项) are right, maybe you really can “have it all.” 8. What did Hardy think of his university? A. It is attractive to overseas students. B. It has offered him great possibilities. C. It has a good name in the local community. D. It has played a role in reaching his music dream. 9. How has Hardy supported children at Provo’s South Franklin Community Center? A. By improving their family relationships. B. By inviting them to study at BYU. C. By teaching them music for free. D. By giving them a new piano. 10. What did Hardy focus on during his internship? A. Setting up a nonprofit. B. Designing STEM courses. C. Carrying out medical research. D. Organizing community activities. 11. Which of the following best describes Hardy? A. Smart and warm-hearted. B. Honest and hard-working. C. Creative and friendly. D. Brave and professional. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，通过讲述Ethan Hardy在Brigham Young大学期间的经历，包括做社区钢琴志愿教学以及在医院实习研究肺癌等事迹，刻画了他热心且聪慧的人物形象。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Here at BYU, I’ve got so many opportunities that are invested in my success,’ said Hardy.(‘在杨百翰大学，我获得了很多有助于我成功的机会，’Hardy说。)”可知，Hardy认为他的大学为他提供了很多可能性。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Hardy has volunteered as a piano teacher at Provo’s South Franklin Community Center, teaching weekly piano lessons to children who might otherwise not be able to afford them.(Hardy在普罗沃的南富兰克林社区中心志愿担任钢琴教师，每周为那些可能负担不起学费的孩子们教授钢琴课。)”可知，Hardy通过免费教孩子们音乐来帮助他们。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Hardy recently began a summer internship (实习) at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he’s working with Dr. Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and other students researching lung cancer.(Hardy最近在波士顿的马萨诸塞州综合医院开始了暑期实习，在那里他与哈佛医学院的教授杨炽夫・杰弗里博士以及其他学生一起研究肺癌。)”可知，Hardy实习期间专注于进行医学研究。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Hardy has volunteered as a piano teacher at Provo’s South Franklin Community Center, teaching weekly piano lessons to children who might otherwise not be able to afford them.(Hardy在普罗沃的南富兰克林社区中心志愿担任钢琴教师，每周为那些可能负担不起学费的孩子们教授钢琴课。)”可知，Hardy热心助人，富有爱心，是warm-hearted。根据倒数第二段“Hardy recently began a summer internship (实习) at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he’s working with Dr. Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and other students researching lung cancer.(Hardy最近在波士顿的马萨诸塞州综合医院开始了暑期实习，在那里他与哈佛医学院的教授杨炽夫・杰弗里博士以及其他学生一起研究肺癌。)”可知，Hardy能参与到专业的医学研究中，表明他很聪明，是 smart。故选A项。 D Handwriting notes in class might seem old-fashioned as digital technology affects nearly every aspect of learning. But a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. The new research builds on a 2014 study that suggested people may type notes quickly, without thinking much about what they’re writing-but writing by hand is slower and makes them actively pay attention to and process the incoming information. This conscious action of building on existing knowledge can make it easier for students to stay engaged and grasp new concepts. To understand specific brain-activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, the authors of the new study sewed 256 electrodes (电极) into a hairnet. These sensors let the scientists record 36 students’ brain activity as they wrote or typed words displayed on a screen. When students wrote by hand, the sensors picked up widespread brain connectivity throughout visual regions that receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex (运动皮层) that helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Typing, however, resulted in minimal activity in these brain regions. Vanderbilt University educational neuroscientist Sophia Vinci-Booher says the recent study highlights the clear tie between physical actions and concept understanding, “As you’re writing a word, you’re taking this continuous understanding of something and using motor system to create it.” That creation then affects the visual system, where it’s processed again-strengthening the connection between an action and the words associated with it. Vinci-Booher notes that the new findings don’t mean technology is always a disadvantage in the classroom. Digital devices can be more efficient for writing essays and offer more equal access to educational resources. However, there’s a growing trend of relying on digital devices to perform cognitive (认知的) tasks, such as taking photos instead of memorizing information. Yadurshana Sivashankar, an researcher at the University of Waterloo says, “If we’re not actively using these areas, then they are going to become worse over time, whether it’s memory or motor skills.” 12. Why does the author mention the 2014 study? A. To present different research findings. B. To make the new research more convincing. C. To compare two note taking approaches. D. To show the advantage of writing slowly. 13. What can be learned from the experiment in Paragraph 3? A. Sensors were used to process visual information. B. Electrodes were connected to students’ hair directly. C Writing by hand activated more brain activity than typing. D. Typing stimulated the motor cortex to inform following action. 14. What would Sophia Vinci-Booher probably advise students to do? A. Make better use of motor system. B. Take advantage of digital devices. C. Adopt a new approach to taking notes. D. Memorize words by writing essays. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Technology is not a disadvantage in classroom. B. Writing by hand comes with learning benefits. C. Taking notes enhances students’ brain activity. D. Two note-taking approaches have clear differences. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究表明手写笔记能增强学习效果，尤其是对儿童而言。手写可激活大脑视觉和运动区域，促进信息加工与概念理解，优于键盘输入。然而科技在教育中仍有其价值，关键在于平衡使用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The new research builds on a 2014 study that suggested people may type notes quickly, without thinking much about what they’re writing-but writing by hand is slower and makes them actively pay attention to and process the incoming information. (这项新的研究建立在2014年的一项研究的基础上，该研究表明，人们可能会快速打字，而不会过多考虑自己在写什么，但手写速度较慢，会让他们积极关注和处理收到的信息。)”可知，新的研究建立在2014年的研究的基础上，所以作者提及2014年的研究是为了让新的研究更具说服力。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When students wrote by hand, the sensors picked up widespread brain connectivity throughout visual regions that receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex (运动皮层) that helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Typing, however, resulted in minimal activity in these brain regions. (当学生用手写字时，传感器在接收和处理感官信息的视觉区域以及帮助大脑利用环境输入来通知一个人下一步行动的运动皮层中发现了广泛的大脑连接。然而，打字导致这些大脑区域的活动极小。)”可知，手写可以激活大脑更广泛区域的活动，相比之下，打字只在这些区域产生了最小的活动，由此可知，手写比打字更能激活大脑活动。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Vanderbilt University educational neuroscientist Sophia Vinci-Booher says the recent study highlights the clear tie between physical actions and concept understanding, “As you’re writing a word, you’re taking this continuous understanding of something and using motor system to create it.” That creation then affects the visual system, where it’s processed again-strengthening the connection between an action and the words associated with it. (范德比尔特大学教育神经科学家Sophia Vinci Booher表示，最近的研究强调了身体动作和概念理解之间的明确联系，“当你写一个单词时，你正在对某物进行持续的理解，并使用运动系统来创造它。”然后，这种创造会影响视觉系统，在视觉系统中，它被再次处理，加强了动作与相关单词之间的联系。)”可知，Sophia Vinci Booher认为写单词可以增进持续的理解，所以Sophia Vinci Booher可能会建议学生通过写文章来记忆单词。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. (但《心理学前沿》最近的一项研究表明，用笔和纸做笔记仍然是最好的学习方式，尤其是对儿童来说。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了手写笔记能增强学习效果，有助于学习。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reduce Tension and Stress with Belly Breathing (腹式呼吸) During times of uncertainty and confusion it’s normal to feel nervous, mentally tired, and stressful, but these negative emotions are only temporary. ___16___.

Sometimes I would pick up these lovely toys and place them in different positions. It was really fun. One time I asked Aunt Evie where she got the toys so that I could buy some, too. To my disappointment, Aunt Evie said that most of them were specially handmade gifts from her friends and couldn’t be bought anywhere. One such toy was a little bear, which was my favorite.

People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts. At one point, two women quarreled for several minutes after colliding in the freezer section. Things got worse at the checkout line.The cashier scanned a man's discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting intentionally and began to argue. Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who took him to customer service. Shaken , she moved to the next customer in line. We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. My reaction when I see them is both personal and professional. I am a data analyst and sociologist who studies how and why people interact with one another--or why they choose not to. To me, the grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has faded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith — starting with just one person. Therefore, my wife and I reached the disturbed cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. We learned her name was Beth. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Beth’s face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items.She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left. That is the balancing act, the moment of countering social and emotional pain with healing, that will add up to restore trust across the United States. You can start that pattern in someone else's life , even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store. 4. By describing the arguments, the author wants to show__________. A. the job as a cashier is not easy. B. people in the U.S are unfriendly. C. arguments in public are very common. D. confidence in each other has worn off. 5. How did Beth probably feel when the couple gave her a bottle of water? A. Sad and regretful. B. Sorry and wronged. C. Cheerful and rewarded. D. Grateful and relieved. 6. What's author's attitude towards Americans' regaining trust? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring D. Cautious 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Miserable Cashier. B. A Helping Hand. C. Learning to Trust Again. D. Starting a new life. C Ethan Hardy started his Brigham Young University (BYU) experience as many students do — curious, yet undecided on a major, maybe music or biology — but he knew one thing forcertain: he was going to take advantage of every chance BYU provided him by paying it forward. “Here at BYU, I’ve got so many opportunities that are invested in my success,” said Hardy. “I want to be someone who helps others along in their journey.” During his first year and a half at BYU, Hardy has volunteered as a piano teacher at Provo’s South Franklin Community Center, teaching weekly piano lessons to children who might otherwise not be able to afford them. “It’s been very valuable,” said Hardy. “I love teaching and seeing students grow. But the reason I’ve stuck with it is the relationships I’ve built with these kids and their families.” For Hardy, finding time each week amidst a busy school schedule to teach piano at the community center isn't a matter of trade-offs; it’s an important part of his college experience that has encouraged him to put his ability and character into action. A gifted pianist, Hardy arrived on campus in 2022 with a deep understanding of the power of music. Still, he couldn’t forget his love for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). “I’ve always been drawn to subjects like math and science, which was why I was interested in medicine when I was young,” said Hardy. Hardy recently began a summer internship (实习) at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he’s working with Dr. Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and other students researching lung cancer．He’ll also join a nonprofit (非营利组织), helping to raise awareness of the importance of lung cancer screening through events and community outreach. Studying medicine by day and teaching music by night, Hardy is proving that when your priorities (优先事项) are right, maybe you really can “have it all.” 8. What did Hardy think of his university? A. It is attractive to overseas students. B. It has offered him great possibilities. C. It has a good name in the local community. D. It has played a role in reaching his music dream. 9. How has Hardy supported children at Provo’s South Franklin Community Center? A. By improving their family relationships. B. By inviting them to study at BYU. C. By teaching them music for free. D. By giving them a new piano. 10. What did Hardy focus on during his internship? A. Setting up a nonprofit. B. Designing STEM courses. C. Carrying out medical research. D. Organizing community activities. 11. Which of the following best describes Hardy? A. Smart and warm-hearted. B. Honest and hard-working. C. Creative and friendly. D. Brave and professional. D Handwriting notes in class might seem old-fashioned as digital technology affects nearly every aspect of learning. But a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. The new research builds on a 2014 study that suggested people may type notes quickly, without thinking much about what they’re writing-but writing by hand is slower and makes them actively pay attention to and process the incoming information. This conscious action of building on existing knowledge can make it easier for students to stay engaged and grasp new concepts. To understand specific brain-activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, the authors of the new study sewed 256 electrodes (电极) into a hairnet. These sensors let the scientists record 36 students’ brain activity as they wrote or typed words displayed on a screen. When students wrote by hand, the sensors picked up widespread brain connectivity throughout visual regions that receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex (运动皮层) that helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Typing, however, resulted in minimal activity in these brain regions. Vanderbilt University educational neuroscientist Sophia Vinci-Booher says the recent study highlights the clear tie between physical actions and concept understanding, “As you’re writing a word, you’re taking this continuous understanding of something and using motor system to create it.” That creation then affects the visual system, where it’s processed again-strengthening the connection between an action and the words associated with it. Vinci-Booher notes that the new findings don’t mean technology is always a disadvantage in the classroom. Digital devices can be more efficient for writing essays and offer more equal access to educational resources. However, there’s a growing trend of relying on digital devices to perform cognitive (认知的) tasks, such as taking photos instead of memorizing information. Yadurshana Sivashankar, an researcher at the University of Waterloo says, “If we’re not actively using these areas, then they are going to become worse over time, whether it’s memory or motor skills.” 12. Why does the author mention the 2014 study? A. To present different research findings. B. To make the new research more convincing. C. To compare two note taking approaches. D. To show the advantage of writing slowly. 13. What can be learned from the experiment in Paragraph 3? A. Sensors were used to process visual information. B. Electrodes were connected to students’ hair directly. C. Writing by hand activated more brain activity than typing. D. Typing stimulated the motor cortex to inform following action. 14. What would Sophia Vinci-Booher probably advise students to do? A. Make better use of motor system. B. Take advantage of digital devices. C. Adopt a new approach to taking notes. D. Memorize words by writing essays. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Technology is not a disadvantage in classroom. B. Writing by hand comes with learning benefits. C. Taking notes enhances students’ brain activity. D. Two note-taking approaches have clear differences. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reduce Tension and Stress with Belly Breathing (腹式呼吸) During times of uncertainty and confusion it’s normal to feel nervous, mentally tired, and stressful, but these negative emotions are only temporary. ___16___.

It had many toys there. Every Friday afternoon, I went to Aunt Evie’s home with my parents. The adults would sit around a table in the dining room, eating pie and talking, while I played in the dollhouse for hours. Sometimes I would pick up these lovely toys and place them in different positions. It was really fun. One time I asked Aunt Evie where she got the toys so that I could buy some, too. To my disappointment, Aunt Evie said that most of them were specially handmade gifts from her friends and couldn’t be bought anywhere. One such toy was a little bear, which was my favorite. It was so beautiful that I wanted to own it badly. “If I take it, Aunt Evie may not notice it. ” I said to myself. Therefore, on a Friday afternoon, I attempted to take the little bear away from Aunt Evie’s dollhouse. I had to wait until nobody was watching me, ‘and it took me hours to get the courage to put the little bear in my pocket. Once I got the little bear, I couldn’t wait to go home. I had to hide it somewhere at home, so that no one would know I took it. That night after I went home with my parents, I couldn’t go to sleep. “What a bad person I am! I stole something from my loved Aunt Evie.” I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I felt awful, but I couldn’t tell my parents, let alone return the little bear to Aunt Evie. I was embarrassed about my behavior. At some point, I started to hate the little bear and myself.
