Catherine Sevcenko spends her spare time taking in and rescuing injured birds in Alexandria. And there’s something constant in the past 12 years: Each crow (乌鸦) that appears at her door is covered in shiny black feathers.
Sevcenko could hardly believe it when a rare crow she named Hope showed up last month. “I’d never seen a white crow before,” said Sevcenko, who runs Diva Crows rehab center with the goal of freeing the birds back into the wild.
The Wildlife Rescue League of Falls Church, Va., contacted Sevcenko and asked if she could take in a rare white crow that had been brought in by a man last month. The man had rescued the bird in Manassas, Va. after he saw a group of adult crows attack the rare bird. The juvenile crow hadn’t developed enough strength in her wings to fly away. The bird was only a few months old and was a little underweight, but didn’t appear to have any injuries.
“I told them, ‘Of course, I’ll take the bird,’” said Sevcenko, who has spent her spare time helping birds in need since 2012. With help from volunteers, she estimates that Diva Crows has rescued more than 2,000 birds. In 2023, Sevcenko took in a two-foot-tall bird that had been shot with a gun. Although the bird could no longer fly and couldn’t be freed to the wild after he had been cured, she found a home for him at the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, N.Y.
Sevcenko and her volunteers briefly put Hope in a cage with some rescued young black crows and there weren’t any issues. Then they put Hope in with an adult crow. Things did not go well.
Everyone who spends time with Hope is delighted by her personality. “She loves bird baths, and when I change her cage, she’ll sit on top and talk to me like she’s a little person,” Tijona Owens, a Diva Crows volunteer, says. “She’s a very interesting bird. She loves exploring, and she’ll stay on your arm. She enjoys hanging out in the center to see what’s going on.”
4. How did Sevcenko feel when she first saw Hope?
A. Disappointed. B. Moved. C. Surprised. D. Stressed.
5. What does the underlined word “juvenile” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Black. B. Big. C. Injured. D. Young.
6. What does the author want to show by mentioning the two-foot-tall bird?
A. How Sevcenko became a volunteer.
B. What Sevcenko did for bird protection.
C. The process of saving wounded birds.
D. The problem of finding a home for birds.
7. What does Tijona say about Hope?
A. She is comfortable with her. B. She likes to talk with little kids.
C. She will be sent to the wild soon. D. She gets on well with adult crows.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了致力于保护鸟类的Catherine Sevcenko救助白乌鸦Hope的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sevcenko could hardly believe it when a rare crow she named Hope showed up last month. “I’d never seen a white crow before,” said Sevcenko (上个月,Sevcenko几乎不敢相信一只名叫Hope的稀有乌鸦出现了。“我以前从没见过白乌鸦,”Sevcenko说)”可知,Sevcenko是第一次见到Hope这样稀有的白乌鸦,有些不敢相信。由此可知,当时她很惊讶。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“crow hadn’t developed enough strength in her wings to fly away. The bird was only a few months old and was a little underweight, but didn’t appear to have any injuries. (乌鸦的翅膀还没有足够的力量飞走。这只鸟只有几个月大,体重略轻,但似乎没有受伤)”可推知,这只乌鸦当时还很幼小,画线词的意思和Young“幼小的”接近。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In 2023, Sevcenko took in a two-foot-tall bird that had been shot with a gun. Although the bird could no longer fly and couldn’t be freed to the wild after he had been cured, she found a home for him at the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, N.Y. (2023年,Sevcenko收养了一只被枪射中的两英尺高的鸟。虽然这只鸟在治愈后再也不能飞了,也不能被放归野外,但她还是在纽约州伊萨卡的卡尤加自然中心为它找到了一个家)”可知,这里展现了Sevcenko为救助两英尺高的鸟所做的努力。由此推知,作者提及这只鸟是为了表明Sevcenko为保护鸟类所做的事情。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Tijona Owens所说的话“She loves bird baths, and when I change her cage, she’ll sit on top and talk to me like she’s a little person (她喜欢鸟浴,当我给她换笼子的时候,她会坐在上面跟我说话,就像她是个小人一样)”和“She’s a very interesting bird. She loves exploring, and she’ll stay on your arm. She enjoys hanging out in the center to see what’s going on. (她是一只非常有趣的鸟。她喜欢探索,她会留在你的手臂上。她喜欢在中心闲逛,看看发生了什么)”可知,这里展现了Tijona对Hope的仔细观察,流露出对它的喜爱,而Hope对Tijona也很自然和亲切。由此可知,Hope与Tijona相处融洽,在一起很舒服。故选A项。

This year marks the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the Rubik’s Cube (魔方). More than 450million have been sold since its invention, making it one of the bestselling toys in history. The Rubik’s Cube was named Toy of the Year in 1980 and was selected into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2014. Beyond Rubik’s Cube, a traveling exhibit that was held on the toy’s 40th anniversary in 2014, traveled internationally for seven years.
The “Rubik” in Rubik’s Cube is Hungarian professor of architecture Erno Rubik, who first created his puzzle to teach his students concepts of three-dimensional (三维的) movement. Rubik called it the Magic Cube. After it became popular around campus, Rubik decided to apply for a patent (专利).
After the cube was released in the United States, books on how to solve it soon followed. In 1981, You Can Do the Cube, written by 13-year-old Patrick Bossert, sold more than 750,000 copies in short order, making him the youngest author to hit the New York Times bestseller list.
For some, simply solving the Rubik’s Cube isn’t enough. “Speedcubers” race to solve it as quickly as possible. More than 200,000 people have participated in competitions permitted by the World Cubing Association, the governing body that establishes rules and maintains official records. Solvers at these events race under a variety of limitations, such as using only one hand or even being blindfolded.
The first cubing world championship was hosted in Rubik’s native Budapest in 1982. The fastest solving time then was 22.95 seconds, held by Vietnamese American Minh Thai. But since then, the record has been broken many times, most recently in 2023 by Max Park, who solved it in just 3.13 seconds!
Quite the pop culture icon, the Rubik’s Cube has made many cameos in films and TV shows including Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The Big Bang Theory. It’s also part of the permanent collection at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and has been the subject of numerous exhibitions.
8 When was the Rubik’s Cube invented?
A. In 2014. B. In 1982. C. In 1980. D. In 1974.
9. Why did Erno Rubik invent the Rubik’s Cube?
A. As a teaching tool. B. For a birthday gift.
C. To make more money. D. To become a toy producer.
10. What can be learnt from paragraph 3?
A. People preferred books to newspapers. B. The Rubik’s Cube was widely welcomed.
C. Patrick Bossert was the youngest professor. D. There were many famous writers in the 1980s.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Advances in the Toy Industry B. Erno Rubik: A Creative Teacher
C. The Most Influential Rubik’s Cube Competitions D. The Rubik’s Cube: the Past and the Development
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了魔方创造的缘由、影响以及被很多领域认可。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Beyond Rubik’s Cube, a traveling exhibit that was held on the toy’s 40th anniversary in 2014, traveled internationally for seven years.、.(2014年,在该玩具问世40周年之际,举办了一场名为“超越魔方”)的巡回展览,在世界各地举办了七年。)”可知,魔方于1974年被发明。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The “Rubik” in Rubik’s Cube is Hungarian professor of architecture Erno Rubik, who first created his puzzle to teach his students concepts of three-dimensional (三维的) movement.(鲁比克魔方中的“鲁比克”是匈牙利建筑学教授埃尔诺·鲁比克,他最初设计这个魔方是为了教学生三维运动的概念)” 可知,埃尔诺·鲁比克发明魔方是作为自己教学的一种教具。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“After the cube was released in the United States, books on how to solve it soon followed. In 1981, You Can Do the Cube, written by 13-year-old Patrick Bossert, sold more than 750,000 copies in short order, making him the youngest author to hit the New York Times bestseller list.(这个魔方在美国发布后,关于如何解决它的书籍很快就出现了。1981年,13岁的帕特里克·博塞特写的《你能做魔方》在短时间内卖出了75万本,使他成为《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜上最年轻的作家)” 可推断,魔方曾大受欢迎。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“This year marks the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the Rubik’s Cube (魔方). More than 450million have been sold since its invention, making it one of the bestselling toys in history. The Rubik’s Cube was named Toy of the Year in 1980 and was selected into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2014.

Mothers often say that pregnancy (怀孕) is a time unlike any other — both the body and the brain change in new and sometimes scary ways. And a new study has tried to find out exactly how much of a change women’s brains experience during pregnancy and the early stages of motherhood.
According to an international research team, 94% of pregnant people’s gray matter experiences a reduction in volume of up to 5%. “Pregnancy transforms the brain,” the study’s senior author Oscar Vilarroya said.
Gray matter is found throughout our central nervous system, which is in the brain and in the spinal cord (脊髓). The Cleveland Clinic says gray matter plays a significant role in all aspects of human functioning, adding that it is essential for controlling movement, memory and emotions.
To explore the changes in gray matter during pregnancy, the researchers looked at 127 first-time mothers in Spain. They were tracked from before they became pregnant to six months after giving birth, and had five MRI scans to look at their brain structure at different stages of pregnancy and motherhood. Their hormone (激素) levels were also measured, and they completed questionnaires about their wellbeing.
The study found that gray matter volume changes in a U-shaped pattern. So volumes decreased by 2.7% during the second three-month period of pregnancy, and 5% just before birth, but began to increase again in the six months after giving birth. Variations in hormone levels were identified as the likely cause for the changes in gray matter.
The recovery in gray matter volume after giving birth was associated with greater mother-baby attachment, Vilarroya said, although the volume didn’t recover to pre-pregnancy level. This recovery along with the level of attachment to the baby is also influenced by the state of the mother’s mental health, the study found.
The researchers said that understanding more about the way women’s brains change during pregnancy is crucial, because it allows experts to better support new mothers.
12. What can be concluded about gray matter from the text?
A. It only exists in the brain. B. Its volume is fixed in our body.
C. It is important for human functions. D. Its main role is to adjust hormone levels.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By tracking women at different stages. B. By analyzing questionnaires from fathers.
C. By observing the color of the babies’ eyes. D. By testing pregnant women and their babies.
14. After giving birth, the gray matter of new mothers ________.
A. continues to reduce B. starts to increase
C. remains the same as at birth D. returns to pre-pregnancy volume
15. What might happen if a new mother has poor mental health?
A. Her baby may get sick easily. B. Her memory may suffer a sharp decrease.
C. Her attachment to the baby may be weak. D. Her hormone levels will rise quickly.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是孕期和初为人母期间女性大脑灰质体积的变化及其对母婴关系的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The Cleveland Clinic says gray matter plays a significant role in all aspects of human functioning, adding that it is essential for controlling movement, memory and emotions.(克利夫兰诊所表示,灰质在人类功能的各个方面都发挥着重要作用,并补充说,它对控制运动、记忆和情绪至关重要)” 可知,灰质对人体机能很重要。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They were tracked from before they became pregnant to six months after giving birth, and had five MRI scans to look at their brain structure at different stages of pregnancy and motherhood.(研究人员从她们怀孕前到分娩后六个月对她们进行了跟踪,并对她们在怀孕和做母亲不同阶段的大脑结构进行了五次核磁共振扫描)” 可知,研究人员通过追踪女性在不同阶段的情况来进行这项研究。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The study found that gray matter volume changes in a U-shaped pattern. So volumes decreased by 2.7% during the second three-month period of pregnancy, and 5% just before birth, but began to increase again in the six months after giving birth. (研究发现,大脑灰质体积的变化呈u型曲线,即在怀孕的第二三个月,灰质体积下降了2.7%,在分娩前5%下降,但在分娩后的六个月又开始增加)”以及第六段“The recovery in gray matter volume after giving birth was associated with greater mother-baby attachment, Vilarroya said, although the volume didn’t recover to pre-pregnancy level.(Vilarroya说,分娩后灰质体积的恢复与母子关系的增强有关,尽管灰质体积没有恢复到怀孕前的水平)” 可推断,新手妈妈产后的灰质开始增加,但并未完全恢复到孕前水平。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“This recovery along with the level of attachment to the baby is also influenced by the state of the mother's mental health, the study found.(研究发现,这种恢复以及对婴儿的依恋程度也受到母亲心理健康状况的影响)”可推断,如果一位新手妈妈心理健康状况不佳,她对宝宝的依恋可能会很弱。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是来自浙江财经大学的学生团队使用AI设计旗袍并获得成功。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2021年10月,浙江财经大学的一群学生成立了一家时装公司,将人工智能(AI)引入中国传统服装——旗袍的世界。句中谓语是is bringing,空格处用非谓语动词,company和establish之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填established。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:学生们在传统旗袍中加入了现代元素、图案和设计理念,使旗袍对年轻一代更具吸引力。elements,patterns和design concepts之间是并列关系,句子是肯定句,因此用and表并列,故填and。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:三年前,他们让国际学生在中国的校园时装秀上穿着这些服装来介绍他们的设计。由three years ago可知,句子时态是一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填introduced。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些机会让团队开始了旗袍设计的道路,最初专注于创意设计和用户分析。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为the team,如果team强调的是整个团队,通常使用which作为关系代词;如果强调的是团队中的个体,则使用who。故填which/who。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们成功的关键在于建立了中国最大的旗袍样本数据库。the key to是固定短语,意为“……的关键”,因此空格处用介词to,故填to。
【41题详解】
考查不定式。句意:这些设计现在被用来训练人工智能模型,帮助生成全新的旗袍图案。sth. be used to do sth.是固定短语,意为“某物被用于做某事”,因此空格处用不定式to train,故填to train。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:使用人工智能是旗袍的重大突破。breakthrough是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,major是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:根据数据库中的信息,设计是更新的,新鲜的。空格处用名词作宾语,inform的名词是information,意为“信息”,是不可数名词,故填information。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这种创造性的方法显著地将设计周期从10或15天缩短到2天。空格处用副词significantly修饰动词reduced,significantly意为“显著地”,故填significantly。
【45题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:如今,该团队的旗袍在8个国家都能找到,在海外有46家门店,主要在东南亚。旗袍是被找到,句子用被动语态,空前是情态动词can,因此空格处是be found。故填be found。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I lost all my hair at age two due to alopecia (脱发症). All I wanted growing up was to fit in. So I wore a wig (假发). However, my classmates still found out my secret. They made fun of me, saying, “Lindsay has no hair.”
Sports became my escape, and I was fortunate to have inborn athletic ability. I would race home every day and play basketball in my backyard for hours. I never thought about my bald (光秃的) head during these moments, but rather who I wanted to become and what I wanted to achieve.
I started to gain recognition from others. I became known as the girl who was good at basketball, not just as the girl who didn’t have hair. I was still laughed at by some classmates, but it began to bother me less. I put all my time and energy into basketball and becoming the best player I could be.
I had a great high-school career, breaking countless school records, and received a scholarship to play in college. It was a dream come true. However, I still wasn’t okay with my alopecia and rarely talked about it. I continued to wear my wig all the time, no matter the weather or what I was doing. It was my security and way to hide from the world.
College is a huge transition. I remember the first time when I built up the courage to tell an amazing friend in college about my alopecia. She was called Jennifer, who was good at running. When I told her about my alopecia, she comforted me that even without hair, I was a great girl. It was the first time that I had felt accepted by a person of my age.
After that, we supported each other and often ran together. She offered me some advice on running. With her guidance and help, I wanted to realize my dream of running marathons. I trained hard and made great progress. Jennifer advised me to run my first marathon without a wig. I wanted to do this but I was hesitant.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Two weeks later, I started my first marathon.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the crowd saw two bald girls competing, they screamed(尖叫)in surprise.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Two weeks later, I started my first marathon. On the day of the competition, I saw Jennifer wearing a hat. When I approached her, I found that she had already shaved off her hair. I was surprised and moved. I knew she was encouraging me in this way. I hugged her, with tears welling up in my eyes. At the beginning of the competition, she took off her hat and I took off my wig. We smiled at each other and ran towards the finish line.
When the crowd saw two bald girls competing, they screamed(尖叫)in surprise. We ignored the voices of others and just strove to run forward. As I crossed the finish line, I threw myself at Jennifer to express my gratitude. “You did it!” she congratulated me. Meanwhile, the audience at the finish line gave us warm applause. For the first time, I felt I was brave, strong and beautiful. I felt like I finally found myself, a person who no longer needed a wig.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者两岁因脱发症光头,戴假发仍遭同学嘲笑,以体育逃避。她在篮球上获认可,却仍因脱发困扰。大学时向擅长跑步的Jennifer坦白,Jennifer安慰并接纳她。此后她们相互支持,Jennifer帮助作者训练跑马拉松,还劝其不戴假发参赛,作者虽心动但犹豫的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“两周后,我开始了我的第一次马拉松比赛。”可知,第一段可描写比赛的那天Jennifer把头发剃了,陪作者一起跑马拉松。
②由第二段首句内容“当人群看到两个秃头女孩竞争时,她们惊讶地尖叫。”可知,第二段可描写作者和朋友无视别人的声音,努力向前跑,取得胜利,同时也获得了信心。
2.续写线索:第一次比赛——Jennifer剃光头发——作者感动摘下假发——跑到终点——感激——找到自己

Catherine Sevcenko spends her spare time taking in and rescuing injured birds in Alexandria. And there’s something constant in the past 12 years: Each crow (乌鸦) that appears at her door is covered in shiny black feathers.
Sevcenko could hardly believe it when a rare crow she named Hope showed up last month. “I’d never seen a white crow before,” said Sevcenko, who runs Diva Crows rehab center with the goal of freeing the birds back into the wild.
The Wildlife Rescue League of Falls Church Va., contacted Sevcenko and asked if she could take in a rare white crow that had been brought in by a man last month. The man had rescued the bird in Manassas, Va. after he saw a group of adult crows attack the rare bird. The juvenile crow hadn’t developed enough strength in her wings to fly away. The bird was only a few months old and was a little underweight, but didn’t appear to have any injuries.
“I told them, ‘Of course, I’ll take the bird,’” said Sevcenko, who has spent her spare time helping birds in need since 2012. With help from volunteers, she estimates that Diva Crows has rescued more than 2,000 birds. In 2023, Sevcenko took in a two-foot-tall bird that had been shot with a gun. Although the bird could no longer fly and couldn’t be freed to the wild after he had been cured, she found a home for him at the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, N.Y.
Sevcenko and her volunteers briefly put Hope in a cage with some rescued young black crows and there weren’t any issues. Then they put Hope in with an adult crow. Things did not go well.
Everyone who spends time with Hope is delighted by her personality. “She loves bird baths, and when I change her cage, she’ll sit on top and talk to me like she’s a little person,” Tijona Owens, a Diva Crows volunteer, says. “She’s a very interesting bird. She loves exploring, and she’ll stay on your arm. She enjoys hanging out in the center to see what’s going on.”
4. How did Sevcenko feel when she first saw Hope?
A. Disappointed. B. Moved. C. Surprised. D. Stressed.
5. What does the underlined word “juvenile” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Black. B. Big. C. Injured. D. Young.
6. What does the author want to show by mentioning the two-foot-tall bird?
A. How Sevcenko became a volunteer.
B. What Sevcenko did for bird protection.
C. The process of saving wounded birds.
D The problem of finding a home for birds.
7. What does Tijona say about Hope?
A. She is comfortable with her. B. She likes to talk with little kids.
C. She will be sent to the wild soon. D. She gets on well with adult crows.
C
This year marks the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the Rubik’s Cube (魔方). More than 450million have been sold since its invention, making it one of the bestselling toys in history. The Rubik’s Cube was named Toy of the Year in 1980 and was selected into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2014. Beyond Rubik’s Cube, a traveling exhibit that was held on the toy’s 40th anniversary in 2014, traveled internationally for seven years.
The “Rubik” in Rubik’s Cube is Hungarian professor of architecture Erno Rubik, who first created his puzzle to teach his students concepts of three-dimensional (三维的) movement. Rubik called it the Magic Cube. After it became popular around campus, Rubik decided to apply for a patent (专利).
After the cube was released in the United States, books on how to solve it soon followed. In 1981, You Can Do the Cube, written by 13-year-old Patrick Bossert, sold more than 750,000 copies in short order, making him the youngest author to hit the New York Times bestseller list.
For some, simply solving the Rubik’s Cube isn’t enough. “Speedcubers” race to solve it as quickly as possible. More than 200,000 people have participated in competitions permitted by the World Cubing Association, the governing body that establishes rules and maintains official records. Solvers at these events race under a variety of limitations, such as using only one hand or even being blindfolded.
The first cubing world championship was hosted in Rubik’s native Budapest in 1982. The fastest solving time then was 22.95 seconds, held by Vietnamese American Minh Thai. But since then, the record has been broken many times, most recently in 2023 by Max Park, who solved it in just 3.13 seconds!
Quite the pop culture icon, the Rubik’s Cube has made many cameos in films and TV shows including Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The Big Bang Theory. It’s also part of the permanent collection at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and has been the subject of numerous exhibitions.
8. When was the Rubik’s Cube invented?
A. In 2014. B. In 1982. C. In 1980. D. In 1974.
9. Why did Erno Rubik invent the Rubik’s Cube?
A. As a teaching tool. B. For a birthday gift.
C. To make more money. D. To become a toy producer.
10. What can be learnt from paragraph 3?
A. People preferred books to newspapers. B. The Rubik’s Cube was widely welcomed.
C. Patrick Bossert was the youngest professor. D. There were many famous writers in the 1980s.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Advances in the Toy Industry B. Erno Rubik: A Creative Teacher
C. The Most Influential Rubik’s Cube Competitions D. The Rubik’s Cube: the Past and the Development
D
Mothers often say that pregnancy (怀孕) is a time unlike any other — both the body and the brain change in new and sometimes scary ways. And a new study has tried to find out exactly how much of a change women’s brains experience during pregnancy and the early stages of motherhood.
According to an international research team, 94% of pregnant people’s gray matter experiences a reduction in volume of up to 5%. “Pregnancy transforms the brain,” the study’s senior author Oscar Vilarroya said.
Gray matter is found throughout our central nervous system, which is in the brain and in the spinal cord (脊髓). The Cleveland Clinic says gray matter plays a significant role in all aspects of human functioning, adding that it is essential for controlling movement, memory and emotions.
To explore the changes in gray matter during pregnancy, the researchers looked at 127 first-time mothers in Spain. They were tracked from before they became pregnant to six months after giving birth, and had five MRI scans to look at their brain structure at different stages of pregnancy and motherhood. Their hormone (激素) levels were also measured, and they completed questionnaires about their wellbeing.
The study found that gray matter volume changes in a U-shaped pattern. So volumes decreased by 2.7% during the second three-month period of pregnancy, and 5% just before birth, but began to increase again in the six months after giving birth. Variations in hormone levels were identified as the likely cause for the changes in gray matter.
The recovery in gray matter volume after giving birth was associated with greater mother-baby attachment, Vilarroya said, although the volume didn’t recover to pre-pregnancy level. This recovery along with the level of attachment to the baby is also influenced by the state of the mother’s mental health, the study found.
The researchers said that understanding more about the way women’s brains change during pregnancy is crucial, because it allows experts to better support new mothers.
12. What can be concluded about gray matter from the text?
A. It only exists in the brain. B. Its volume is fixed in our body.
C. It is important for human functions. D. Its main role is to adjust hormone levels.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By tracking women at different stages. B. By analyzing questionnaires from fathers.
C. By observing the color of the babies’ eyes. D. By testing pregnant women and their babies.
14. After giving birth, the gray matter of new mothers ________.
A. continues to reduce B. starts to increase
C. remains the same as at birth D. returns to pre-pregnancy volume
15. What might happen if a new mother has poor mental health?
A. Her baby may get sick easily. B. Her memory may suffer a sharp decrease.
C. Her attachment to the baby may be weak. D. Her hormone levels will rise quickly.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I lost all my hair at age two due to alopecia (脱发症). All I wanted growing up was to fit in. So I wore a wig (假发). However, my classmates still found out my secret. They made fun of me, saying, “Lindsay has no hair.”
Sports became my escape, and I was fortunate to have inborn athletic ability. I would race home every day and play basketball in my backyard for hours. I never thought about my bald (光秃的) head during these moments, but rather who I wanted to become and what I wanted to achieve.
I started to gain recognition from others. I became known as the girl who was good at basketball, not just as the girl who didn’t have hair. I was still laughed at by some classmates, but it began to bother me less. I put all my time and energy into basketball and becoming the best player I could be.
I had a great high-school career, breaking countless school records, and received a scholarship to play in college. It was a dream come true. However, I still wasn’t okay with my alopecia and rarely talked about it. I continued to wear my wig all the time, no matter the weather or what I was doing. It was my security and way to hide from the world.
College is a huge transition. I remember the first time when I built up the courage to tell an amazing friend in college about my alopecia. She was called Jennifer, who was good at running. When I told her about my alopecia, she comforted me that even without hair, I was a great girl. It was the first time that I had felt accepted by a person of my age.
After that, we supported each other and often ran together. She offered me some advice on running. With her guidance and help, I wanted to realize my dream of running marathons. I trained hard and made great progress. Jennifer advised me to run my first marathon without a wig. I wanted to do this but I was hesitant.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Two weeks later, I started my first marathon.
