California DREAM Loan Program
The California DREAM Loan Program, funded by the state and University of California, aims to provide qualified undergraduates with the option to borrow loans to help cover the expense of attending UC.
How it works
A loan is borrowed money that you have to pay back with interest.
Each UC campus will determine the amount a student can borrow based on available funding and number of qualified students. The maximum amount of a loan is capped at $4,000 each year, per student.
You can borrow every year if you are a qualified student at UC or until you receive a maximum of $20,000 in DREAM loans.
What you need to do
Make sure you apply for financial aid by filing a California Dream Act application. There are no separate forms required to apply for the California DREAM Loan Program, but you’ll need to apply for financial aid every year to be considered for the DREAM Loan Program.
You may see a DREAM Loan offered as part of your financial aid award letter. You do not need to accept the loan if you don’t want to—it’s not necessary.
If you’re interested in borrowing from the California DREAM Loan Program, but don’t see an offer in your financial aid award letter, reach out to the campus financial aid office.
Make sure to check your email and your campus student website on a regular basis in case the financial aid office contacts you.
1. How much can a student borrow at most through the program each year?
A. $2,000. B. $4,000. C. $10,000. D. $20,000.
2. What should the students do to get the loan?
A. File an annual application.
B. Fill in separate application forms.
C. Ask for a financial aid award letter.
D. Contact the financial aid office regularly.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A tourist brochure. B. A scientific journal.
C. A university website. D. A government report.

Driving home from work, Will spotted a For Sale sign on the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee. An idea flashed through Will’s head. He could grow food here.
Most people in the neighborhood were not eating well. “Folks were living in what I call a food desert,” Will says, “I knew I had to do something, because you can’t have a healthy community without healthy food.”
Will hired some neighborhood teenagers to help him get started. They “grew” new soil by composting, which means collecting food waste and piling it up until it breaks down and turns into soil. Then they made good natural fertilizer (肥料) before starting growing food. Today, Growing Power Community Food Center is growing enough food to feed people in the neighborhood. In the winter, the compost gives off enough heat to keep the greenhouses warm as it breaks down into soil. Goats, chickens, and turkeys live behind the greenhouses. Red-eyed fish are swimming in aquariums (水族箱) at the center of the greenhouses. The fish are for eating, but they also help the plants grow. The water they swim in, enriched by the fish droppings, is channeled toward the pots containing vegetables. Then it is cleaned by other plants, and returned to the fish tank as pure water. “We don’t waste anything here,” Will says.
“The city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun. This idea, called ‘vertical (垂直的) farming’, is a new way to feed more people. You grow fish on the bottom floor and pump the water up to the top. Then the water is piped down from floor to floor, through beds of growing plants, ranging from leafy greens up high to mushrooms lower down. By the time the water returns to the fish on the bottom floor, it’s clean again.” Will says, “Growing food is powerful and it can change the world!”
4. Why did Will decide to grow food in Milwaukee?
A. To enable people to eat better.
B. To make some profits by farming.
C. To build a harmonious community.
D. To transform the desert into a farm.
5. What do we know about Will’s food centre?
A. It works like a forest and wastes nothing.
B. It is a greenhouse and provides heat in winter.
C. It is a city farm and employs chemical fertilizers.
D. It collects conventional soil and uses animal waste.
6. Which of the following can best describe Will?
A. Thoughtful and faithful. B. Adventurous and generous.
C. Creative and ambitious. D. Humorous and farsighted.
7. What is Will talking about in the last paragraph?
A. The procedure of water cleaning.
B. The influence of vertical farming.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。威尔在密尔沃基看到待售农场,决定种植食物改善社区饮食。他建立生态农场,并设想未来垂直农场,认为种植食物能改变世界。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Most people in the neighborhood were not eating well. “Folks were living in what I call a food desert,” Will says, “I knew I had to do something, because you can’t have a healthy community without healthy food.” (附近的大多数人都吃得不好。威尔说:“人们生活在我所说的食物沙漠中,我知道我必须做点什么,因为没有健康的食物,就没有健康的社区。”)”可知,威尔所在社区的大多数人饮食不健康,他认为没有健康的食物就没有健康的社区,所以他决定种植食物是为了让人们吃得更好。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段 “They “grew” new soil by composting, which means collecting food waste and piling it up until it breaks down and turns into soil. Then they made good natural fertilizer (肥料) before starting growing food. Today, Growing Power Community Food Center is growing enough food to feed people in the neighborhood. In the winter, the compost gives off enough heat to keep the greenhouses warm as it breaks down into soil. Goats, chickens, and turkeys live behind the greenhouses.

The water they swim in, enriched by the fish droppings, is channeled toward the pots containing vegetables. Then it is cleaned by other plants, and returned to the fish tank as pure water. “We don’t waste anything here,” Will says. (他们通过堆肥“种植”新的土壤,这意味着收集食物垃圾并将其堆放起来,直到它分解并变成土壤。然后,在开始种植食物之前,他们制作了优质的天然肥料。今天,成长力量社区食品中心正在种植足够的食物来养活附近的人们。在冬天,堆肥分解成土壤时会释放出足够的热量来保持温室的温暖。山羊、鸡和火鸡住在温室后面。红眼鱼在温室中心的水族馆里游泳。鱼是用来吃的,但它们也有助于植物生长。它们游泳的水被鱼粪富集,被引导到装有蔬菜的锅里。然后,它被其他植物清洗,并作为纯净水返回鱼缸。威尔说:“我们在这里什么都不浪费。”。)”可知,威尔的食物中心通过堆肥制造新土壤、利用鱼的粪便为植物提供养分、水循环利用等,可知这个食物中心的运作就像一个森林生态系统一样,没有任何浪费。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Driving home from work, Will spotted a For Sale sign on the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee. An idea flashed through Will’s head. He could grow food here. (威尔下班开车回家,在密尔沃基市最后一个农场上看到了一个待售标志。威尔脑海中闪过一个念头。他可以在这里种植粮食。)”可知,威尔看到城市里最后的农场,就想到种植食物来改善社区人们的饮食,这体现了他的创造力;根据文章最后一段““The city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun. This idea, called ‘vertical (垂直的) farming’, is a new way to feed more people. You grow fish on the bottom floor and pump the water up to the top. Then the water is piped down from floor to floor, through beds of growing plants, ranging from leafy greens up high to mushrooms lower down. By the time the water returns to the fish on the bottom floor, it’s clean again.” Will says, “Growing food is powerful and it can change the world!” (“未来的城市农场是一座朝向太阳的多层建筑。这种被称为‘垂直农场’的想法是一种养活更多人的新方式。你在底层养鱼,然后把水抽到顶层。然后,水通过管道从一层楼流到另一层楼,穿过从高到低的绿叶蔬菜到蘑菇的植物床。当水回到底层的鱼身上时,它又干净了。”威尔说:“种植粮食是强大的,它可以改变世界!”)”可知,他不仅建立了食物中心,还对未来的城市农场有新的设想,并认为种植食物可以改变世界,这显示出他有雄心壮志。故选C项。

Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds.
Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children.
Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions (干扰) from social media, You tube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules.
With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities.
It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens.
8. What does the underlined word “supplanting” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Changing. B. Replacing. C. Influencing. D. Aiding.
9. What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs?
A. The loss of deep reading. B. The importance of reading.
C. The appeal of print reading. D. The benefits of digital reading.
10. The study finds that print reading can enhance kids’ reading abilities because of __________.
A. Parents’ reading skills. B. Social Media’s support.
C. Paper’s physical properties. D. Kids’ consumption of easy texts.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Basic e-readers can be promoted.
B. Print reading still has a place nowadays.
C. Teachers should limit kids’ reading time.
D. Parents should emphasize digital reading.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了电子阅读的兴起,以及其对孩子们阅读的积极和消极的影响。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times.( 世界各地的孩子们花很长时间反复阅读这本厚厚的精装书。)”以及划线单词句中“... we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did.( ……我们可能再也不会看到像《哈利波特》这样吸引孩子们注意力的系列图书了。)”可知,前后文形成对比,提到数字阅读和纸质阅读,且表示数字阅读开始后,像《哈利・波特》那样吸引孩子注意力的纸质书系列可能不会再出现了,由此可推测“supplanting”意思是“取代”,即数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读,“replace”有“取代”之意。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds.( 但是,当数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读时,我们可能再也不会看到像《哈利波特》这样吸引孩子们注意力的系列图书了。此外,最近发表的一项研究发现,转向数字阅读可能会影响孩子们的阅读理解能力。)”以及第二段中“They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children.( 他们发现,数字阅读确实能提高理解能力,但深度阅读的有益效果比纸质阅读小6到7倍,对儿童的影响最小。)”可知,第一段提到数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读,可能不会再有像《哈利・波特》那样吸引孩子的书系列,第二段指出数字阅读对阅读理解技能提升效果不如纸质阅读,尤其是对孩子,综合两段内容,作者重点关注的是深度阅读的缺失,因为数字阅读的兴起影响了孩子像以前那样进行深度阅读。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.( 在纸上,有一个字面上的手,以及不同页面的视觉地理。人们通常会把他们对所读内容的记忆与书的深度或在书页上的位置联系起来。)”可知,研究发现,纸质阅读可以提高孩子的阅读能力,是因为纸质书的物理特性,这种特性有助于提高孩子的阅读能力。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens.( 因此,建议家长和老师限制孩子接触数字内容的时间,或者至少强调印刷作品或使用基本的带墨水屏幕的电子阅读器。)”可推知,作者在最后一段暗示了在如今,纸质阅读仍然有其存在的价值和地位。故选B项。
D
A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology.
“There are a lot of illusions (错觉) of time,” says Martin Wiener, a scientist at George Mason University. Recently, his team have found that more memorable images seem to last longer, and these lasting images also appear to be more memorable. Looking at red objects makes time pass slower than staring at blue ones. The slowdown also occurs when inspecting bigger and brighter objects.
To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. They were asked to hold down a button, either “short” or “long”, to indicate the length of time the image was displayed on the screen. Participants perceived that more memorable images remained on the screen longer and that they were more likely to recall them later.
These results suggest that images aren’t just more memorable if people look at them for a longer time, a well-established effect. Images are also more memorable if people perceive that they have looked for longer when they really haven’t. This suggests that there is some underlying factor that is causing both of these effects.
The team later found that more memorable images were processed faster. They help the brain process more information in a limited time. This is especially relevant (有关的) to the brain’s visual system. With limited resources, the visual areas have to set priorities. In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. Why faster processing would make time last longer is still a mystery, however. For now, the most reasonable explanation for why our brain slows time is that it is increasing the amount of information it can take in at once.
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To prove an opinion. B. To present a phenomenon.
C. To challenge a viewpoint. D. To introduce a new finding.
13. Why did the team conduct the experiments?
A. To perceive memorable images.
B. To categorize the length of time.
C. To know the secret of time perception.
D. To test the memory of the participants.
14. According to Wiener, what’s the underlying cause of some images being more memorable?
A. They have limited resources.
B. They contain more information.
C. They are looked at for a longer time.
D. They are easy for the brain to process.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Memory relies on visual aids.
B. Faster processing makes time fly.
C. Resources influence time perception.
D. Memorable things make time slow down.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对时间感知的错觉及其与记忆之间的关系。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。第一段中提到“A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. (常言道,心急水不开,快乐时光易逝。这些耳熟能详的说法有着坚实的科学基础——我们对时间的感知会根据我们体验周围世界的方式而延长或缩短)”可知,第一段通过两个俗语引出了文章的主题——人们对时间的感知是有科学依据的。因此,第一段的作用是引入一个新的发现或观点,即人们对时间的感知是有科学依据的,并且会受到我们经历方式的影响。所以D选项“To introduce a new finding(引入一个新的发现)”符合题意。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. (为了了解图像的可记忆性与我们的时间感之间的关系,研究小组进行了四个实验,向参与者展示了不同时间长度的图像)”可知,团队进行实验的目的是为了理解图像的易记性如何与我们的时间感知相关。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. (换句话说,令人难忘的图像之所以令人难忘,是因为它们对我们的系统来说很容易处理)”可知,Wiener认为一些图像更容易被记住的根本原因是它们容易被我们的大脑处理。因此,选项D“They are easy for the brain to process(它们很容易被大脑处理)”符合题意。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science—our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology.( 这些再熟悉不过的说法有坚实的科学依据——我们对时间的感知取决于我们体验周围世界的方式。这不仅仅是时间流逝的一般印象。这与心理学也有很大关系)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了人们对时间感知的错觉,特别是与记忆深刻的图像相关的错觉,以及科学家对此进行的研究。文中提到,记忆深刻的图像会让人感觉时间持续得更长,且这些图像更容易被记住。因此,选项D“Memorable things make time slow down(值得纪念的事情会让时间慢下来)”最能概括文章的主旨,即记忆深刻的事物会让时间感觉变慢。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage (垃圾) cans to the garage (车库) each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them on a seat outside the garage with a thank-you note. When we got home from work that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift. The letter was from Tom and explained how he had come to walk the neighborhood on garbage day, returning cans for people he barely knew. Back when he’d been fighting a war I wasn’t alive to see, his young wife, Gee, had found herself living alone. Neighbors had taken the time to handle her garbage cans so she didn’t have to, and he never forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us. It was also his way of sneaking a smoke while Gee wasn’t looking.
A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee. We told her how special Tom had been to us, how heartbroken we felt for her loss, how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day. When Gee invited us over to look through Christmas ornaments (装饰品), I realized how hard it must be to part with that box, a piece of Tom.
My kids sat in Gee’s living room and respectfully lifted antique Christmas ornaments out of a well-loved cardboard box. Gee stood beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. Gee told me that she and Tom built their Christmas ornament collection piece by piece during each year’s after-Christmas sale. She smiled as we left with the box. Her treasures, gathered over a lifetime, found a new home.
注意:
(1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
(2)续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Before Christmas, we were piling up boxes of our own, planning a move.

Therefore, Jim and I decided to move after the Christmas celebration.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
Before Christmas, we were piling up boxes of our own, planning a move. Among the boxes, the one we took over from Gee stood out. As I lifted the lid, antique Christmas ornaments came in sight. Heartwarming memories came flooding back. We couldn’t help thinking of Tom’s kind gesture of returning our garbage cans and Gee’s stories of their life together. To us, she was like family, and we couldn’t imagine how lonely she would feel during the Christmas without our company. The thought of parting with Gee was almost killing us.
Therefore, Jim and I decided to move after that year’s Christmas celebration. We wanted to make that Christmas really special. We invited Gee over. The moment she stepped in, her eyes rested on the ornaments on the Christmas tree, and each was a piece of treasure she and Tom gathered over their lifetime, reminding her of all the good old days. As we gazed at the twinkling Christmas tree, it dawned on us that the true meaning of a tight-knit community was not just about living close to one another, but about weaving hearts together with love, kindness and mutual support.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者发现对面街的Tom老人一直默默帮忙把垃圾桶放回车库,便烤了饼干表达感谢,从而得知Tom因为邻居们曾在他妻子Gee独居时帮忙处理垃圾桶而心怀感激,以此方式回馈社区。Tom去世后,作者一家将感激之情传达给Gee,并从她那里得到了一箱珍贵的圣诞装饰品。搬家前夕,作者一家看着这些装饰品回忆起与Tom和Gee的温情时光,决定在当年的圣诞节庆祝后再搬家,并邀请Gee共度圣诞。

California DREAM Loan Program
The California DREAM Loan Program, funded by the state and University of California, aims to provide qualified undergraduates with the option to borrow loans to help cover the expense of attending UC.
How it works
A loan is borrowed money that you have to pay back with interest.
Each UC campus will determine the amount a student can borrow based on available funding and number of qualified students. The maximum amount of a loan is capped at $4,000 each year, per student.
You can borrow every year if you are a qualified student at UC or until you receive a maximum of $20,000 in DREAM loans.
What you need to do
Make sure you apply for financial aid by filing a California Dream Act application. There are no separate forms required to apply for the California DREAM Loan Program, but you’ll need to apply for financial aid every year to be considered for the DREAM Loan Program.
You may see a DREAM Loan offered as part of your financial aid award letter. You do not need to accept the loan if you don’t want to—it’s not necessary.
If you’re interested in borrowing from the California DREAM Loan Program, but don’t see an offer in your financial aid award letter, reach out to the campus financial aid office.
Make sure to check your email and your campus student website on a regular basis in case the financial aid office contacts you.
1. How much can a student borrow at most through the program each year?
A. $2,000. B. $4,000. C. $10,000. D. $20,000.
2. What should the students do to get the loan?
A. File an annual application.
B. Fill in separate application forms.
C. Ask for a financial aid award letter.
D. Contact the financial aid office regularly.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A tourist brochure. B. A scientific journal.
C. A university website. D. A government report.
B
Driving home from work, Will spotted a For Sale sign on the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee. An idea flashed through Will’s head. He could grow food here.
Most people in the neighborhood were not eating well. “Folks were living in what I call a food desert,” Will says, “I knew I had to do something, because you can’t have a healthy community without healthy food.”
Will hired some neighborhood teenagers to help him get started. They “grew” new soil by composting, which means collecting food waste and piling it up until it breaks down and turns into soil. Then they made good natural fertilizer (肥料) before starting growing food. Today, Growing Power Community Food Center is growing enough food to feed people in the neighborhood. In the winter, the compost gives off enough heat to keep the greenhouses warm as it breaks down into soil. Goats, chickens, and turkeys live behind the greenhouses. Red-eyed fish are swimming in aquariums (水族箱) at the center of the greenhouses. The fish are for eating, but they also help the plants grow. The water they swim in, enriched by the fish droppings, is channeled toward the pots containing vegetables. Then it is cleaned by other plants, and returned to the fish tank as pure water. “We don’t waste anything here,” Will says.
“The city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun. This idea, called ‘vertical (垂直的) farming’, is a new way to feed more people. You grow fish on the bottom floor and pump the water up to the top. Then the water is piped down from floor to floor, through beds of growing plants, ranging from leafy greens up high to mushrooms lower down. By the time the water returns to the fish on the bottom floor, it’s clean again.” Will says, “Growing food is powerful and it can change the world!”
4. Why did Will decide to grow food in Milwaukee?
A. To enable people to eat better.
B. To make some profits by farming.
C. To build a harmonious community.

Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds.
Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children.
Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions (干扰) from social media, You tube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules.
With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities.
It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens.
8. What does the underlined word “supplanting” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Changing. B. Replacing. C. Influencing. D. Aiding.
9. What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs?
A. The loss of deep reading. B. The importance of reading.
C. The appeal of print reading. D. The benefits of digital reading.
10. The study finds that print reading can enhance kids’ reading abilities because of __________.
A. Parents’ reading skills. B. Social Media’s support.
C. Paper’s physical properties. D. Kids’ consumption of easy texts.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Basic e-readers can be promoted.
B. Print reading still has a place nowadays.
C. Teachers should limit kids’ reading time.
D Parents should emphasize digital reading.

A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology.
“There are a lot of illusions (错觉) of time,” says Martin Wiener, a scientist at George Mason University. Recently, his team have found that more memorable images seem to last longer, and these lasting images also appear to be more memorable. Looking at red objects makes time pass slower than staring at blue ones. The slowdown also occurs when inspecting bigger and brighter objects.
To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. They were asked to hold down a button, either “short” or “long”, to indicate the length of time the image was displayed on the screen. Participants perceived that more memorable images remained on the screen longer and that they were more likely to recall them later.
These results suggest that images aren’t just more memorable if people look at them for a longer time, a well-established effect. Images are also more memorable if people perceive that they have looked for longer when they really haven’t. This suggests that there is some underlying factor that is causing both of these effects.
The team later found that more memorable images were processed faster. They help the brain process more information in a limited time. This is especially relevant (有关的) to the brain’s visual system. With limited resources, the visual areas have to set priorities. In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. Why faster processing would make time last longer is still a mystery, however. For now, the most reasonable explanation for why our brain slows time is that it is increasing the amount of information it can take in at once.
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To prove an opinion. B. To present a phenomenon.
C. To challenge a viewpoint. D. To introduce a new finding.
13. Why did the team conduct the experiments?
A. To perceive memorable images.
B. To categorize the length of time.
C. To know the secret of time perception.
D. To test the memory of the participants.
14. According to Wiener, what’s the underlying cause of some images being more memorable?
A. They have limited resources.
B. They contain more information.
C. They are looked at for a longer time.
D. They are easy for the brain to process.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Memory relies on visual aids.
B. Faster processing makes time fly.
C. Resources influence time perception.
D. Memorable things make time slow down.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage (垃圾) cans to the garage (车库) each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them on a seat outside the garage with a thank-you note. When we got home from work that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift. The letter was from Tom and explained how he had come to walk the neighborhood on garbage day, returning cans for people he barely knew. Back when he’d been fighting a war I wasn’t alive to see, his young wife, Gee, had found herself living alone. Neighbors had taken the time to handle her garbage cans so she didn’t have to, and he never forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us. It was also his way of sneaking a smoke while Gee wasn’t looking.
A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee. We told her how special Tom had been to us, how heartbroken we felt for her loss, how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day. When Gee invited us over to look through Christmas ornaments (装饰品), I realized how hard it must be to part with that box, a piece of Tom.
My kids sat in Gee’s living room and respectfully lifted antique Christmas ornaments out of a well-loved cardboard box. Gee stood beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. Gee told me that she and Tom built their Christmas ornament collection piece by piece during each year’s after-Christmas sale. She smiled as we left with the box. Her treasures, gathered over a lifetime, found a new home.
注意:
(1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
