B Bruce Springsteen played at MetLife Stadium last weekend in New Jersey,which is about an hour's drive from my home.I've been a huge fan of his music for a long time,but I've never seen him at a concert.There were still tickets available,and yet I held back.I didn't want to go there alone.I'm an independent woman who has lived alone since graduating from college.I love living alone and I need lots of solo )time to recharge my batteries from a demanding job.I enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family,but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds,such as concerts or even movies.I don't have social anxiety,so I often wonder why I hesitate when it comes to going somewhere alone. A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they're afraid of how they'll be perceived.The good news is that no one is going to notice that.The reason is "the spotlight effect"which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts.Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them.The subjects thought,on average,about 50%of the class would notice them.In reality, fewer than 20%of the students noticed the shirts. I believe that some activities,such as listening to one's favorite music at a concert,would be greater pleasure if it was a shared experience.However,according to some studies,people actually had about as much fun doing fun activities alone as they thought they would be accompanied by friends. If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us,we'll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out)to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days.So if I had another chance to go to Bruce's concert,even alone,I would surely go. 24.What was the reason for the author's missing Bruce's concert? A.A lack of time. B.Having no companion. C.The long travel distance. D.Being unable to get a ticket. 25.What can we know about the author? A.She enjoys socializing with familiar people. B.She suffers from severe social anxiety. C.She prizes family ties over friendships. D.She gets bored with her present job. 26.What does"the spotlight effect"refer to? AThe fear of being judged by others. B.The fact that bright clothes attract more attention. C.The tendency to focus on what's happening around us D.The belief that we 're being noticed more than we really are. 27.What does the author aim to do in the last paragraph? A.To express her fondness for Bruce. B.To explain the busyness of our daily life. C.To encourage people to do activities alone. D.To stress the close relationship between people. I've never had a great sense of direction.And I often wander into shops and,upon coming back out,can't remember which way I've come from-left or right?Many people are like me,and why do some constantly have no idea where they are? The hippocampus (is a region of the brain associated with memory and involved in sense of direction.And a nearby region has also been associated with sense of direction.There are four known types of navigation-related neurons (found in these regions:place cells,grid cells, border cells and head direction cells. In short,you can think of place cells as an internal cognitive map;they identify where you are.Grid cells are like a GPS system in our brain;they tell us about the relationship of this place to other places we've been to.Border cells respond to the presence of environmental boundaries at a specific direction and distance from us.Lastly,head direction cells are activated when our head faces a specific direction.These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar locations,with each group of cells relating to a specific place. Our reliance on GPS and smartphones may have decreased the ability to use our internal maps. Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus,compared with those who did not use GPS.They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test.In contrast,a study involving London taxi drivers found they significantly larger hippocampus than ordinary people. You can improve your way-finding ability specifically by practicing the skill,according to Aziz,PhD of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine."The more you get out and go to places,the better,"he says.Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain,while mental exercise,such as doing puzzles or learning a new language,stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain. 28.How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A By raising a question. B.By making a comparison. C.By stating personal opinions. D.By referring to scientific research. 29.What can we learn about the four types of navigation-related neurons? A.They depend closely on each other. B.They are responsible for different jobs. They will decrease in numbers as one ages. D.They will fail to function in unfamiliar situations. 30.What is the potential consequence if we rely too much on GPS? A.It may lead to a larger hippocampus. B.It may improve cognitive abilities. C.It may reduce activity in hippocampus. D.It may increase the number of navigation-related neurons. 31.What does the last paragraph suggest as a way to improve way-finding ability? A.By making most of GPS. B.By relying more on cellphones. C.By avoiding unfamiliar situations. D.By engaging in physical and mental exercise. D Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered,collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky?That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia() Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious,social emotion,bittersweet but dominantly positive.It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about.Often,nostalgia involves sensory stimuli()On some occasions,the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home.Almost everyone can experience nostalgia,although its object tends to vary throughout life.One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets,toys,and holidays than did older people,who felt it more strongly for music. In contrast to its links to negative emotions,nostalgia doesn't make us sadder.Rather,nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness,one that brings relief from a negative mood.Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties,improve self-esteem,and uplift our mood.Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life's meaning,reduce fear of death,boost spirituality,and increase optimism. Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism()behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however,some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging,particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt.Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness,offering a bit of escape from tough times.To form stronger connections,we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families,friend groups,and workplaces.Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to. Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex,nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers.“The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm(领域)，beyond the reach of intellect,"Marcel Proust wrote. 32.Why does the author mention"autumn leaves"in the second paragraph? A.To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia. B.To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia. C.To clarify nostalgia's connection to our senses. D.To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia. 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The mismatch between two findings. B.The potential benefits of nostalgia The impact of nostalgia on personal mood. D.The mechanisms behind nostalgia's effects. 34.What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4? A.Create shared traditions for bonding and joy. B.Record the social gatherings regularly. C.Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings. D.Say no to the concept of escapism. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Nostalgia:Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past. B.Nostalgia:A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life. C.A Nostalgia Waring:Our Mental Health Being Attacked. D.Power of Nostalgia:Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present. 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。 We've all been there before-you're in conversation,things are getting along nicely.36 At that moment,your mind goes completely blank,you don't know what to say,and you can sense the other person's eyes wandering as they look for somcone else to talk to.That scenario (is terrible, so here are three tips to make sure that you never run out of things to say in conversation again. Firstly,when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank,play "Reminds Me of.That just means that you look to the environment around you and say,"You know,that reminds me of..."and then fill in the blank.37 And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story,which is how many groups of friends interact all the time. Second,when you ask questions,keep them open-ended as often as possible. 38 So rather than saying,"Oh,you're from Toronto.Do you like it there?"you might say,"How do you like Toronto?I'm curious to hear more about it."You should get the other person talking about the things that they like,which is going to open up more conversational topics. 39 This is the third tip.If you're in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries,a great question is,"How do you guys all know one another?"There's almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from.If you're only speaking to one person,you can say instead,"So what's your story?"The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics,usually responding with something like,"You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?"40 A.Ask them about their exciting plans for the future. B.It is great for opening new conversational topics. C.Then out of nowhere,the awkward silence occurs. D.You'd better avoid questions inviting a one-word response. E.That's because people don't like to talk to others different from themselves. F.For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly,use saving questions. G.His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with. 第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上 将该项涂黑。 Careers in science are generally believed to be too complex for students who aren't talented or clever enough,but Seott Kelly,commander of the International Space Station,would prove it's 41 As a kid,he was abstracted and uninterested in science and all other 42 as well.He couldn't 43 what the teachers were saying,spending most of his time in school daydreaming.
