As with everything else in life, our approach to keeping fit and healthy has changed over time. Here are four iconic fitness trends through the decades. Aerobics — 1970s Aerobics took off to improve the cardiovascular (心血管) system in a fun way and dance moves were combined with fitness movements, such as leg raises and marching in place. Aerobics inspired many different spin-offs from dance and step aerobics, to even water-based classes, all set to music. Spinning — 1990s Spinning launched cycling revolution in the 1990s which continues to this day, thanks to big-name gyms which have made cycling on fixed bikes a party for participants. Color changing lights, high-energy music and enthusiastic instructors have turned spin classes into a lively group activity which has attracted fans around the world. CrossFit—2000s CrossFit has been a team favorite in the fitness scene since the 2000s. The activity is competitive yet shared, with scores being tracked on a board. Classes typically last an hour or less, making each session an intense (强度的) and time-efficient workout which many are able to fit into their busy schedules. HIIT — 2020s HIIT, which stands for High Intensity Interval Training, has gained popularity recently, along with the rise of home workouts. Exercises, done in short, intense bursts, aim to build strength and endurance. It can be done through free online classes without any equipment, making it an affordable workout at home. 21. Which sport is mixed with dance? A. Aerobics. B. Spinning. C. CrossFit. D. HIIT. 22. What do Spinning and CrossFit have in common? A. They last for a short time. B. They can be group activities. C. They need lights and music. D. They are both competitive sports. 23. Which of the following can best describe the HIIT? A. Graceful and intense. B. Economical and convenient. C. Energetic and technical. D. Interesting and relaxing. B There has been a battle raging in my living room — a deep-rooted standoff that began when I was a child of about nine. That is the age I was when my parents purchased a second-hand piano to support my continuing musical training. Some may characterize it as a love-hate relationship, even though I believe the bond between us is more than that. Of course, on the “hate” side there were plenty of frustrating hours spent practicing, the forced performances for relatives, the trimmed fingernails. And the responsibility I had to shoulder, as my family sacrificed a lot for me to have piano lessons, because I had talent. My teachers said so and, truthfully, my heart said so, too. But all too often it felt like a burden. There was also love on that piano bench. There were times when I could feel the music ring through me. I could feel it vibrate through my fingers. The connection between two people when performing a duet was beautiful. When my music landed on my audience it made me want to play forever. But my musical talent did not survive my teenage years. It was no competition for the freedom I sought and eventually fought for. When I had a home of my own the piano mostly sat unloved or at least unused, feeling fingers on the keys only during Christmas and when my own children took piano lessons. I know every inch of this piano. I spent years of my life in front of this piano. Awaiting my free will to ripen enough to release me from lessons. Awaiting my life to begin. Awaiting my mother to leave the room so I could secretly read my book while practicing scales. It feels like I am giving away the family pet. So here I sit playing my last tune before the movers take the piano away and surprisingly there lies a growing desire for something else. It is time to clear the air to let in a different melody. Time to say, “Thank you for being part of my life,” take a bow and leave the stage… with one final note rising up alongside the dust in a sunbeam. 24. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean? A. Conflict. B. Challenge. C. Relationship. D. Understanding. 25. Why did the author feel frustrated about playing piano? A. She lacked the talent in playing the piano. B. She had to give up activities she enjoyed. C. She felt burdened because of the responsibility. D. She couldn’t express her emotions through music. 26. What can we learn about the author in paragraph 5? A. The author looked forward to growing up. B. The piano took away the author’s freedom. C. The author made a great effort to learn piano. D. The author preferred reading to playing the piano. 27. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. A Farewell to My Piano. B. Challenges of Playing the Piano. C. Love and Responsibility in Music. D. Reflection on My Musical Journey. C I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development many parents are led to believe. However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心) us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people. Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers. We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use. As a psychologist studying children’s and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’ frustration (沮丧) and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors. More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more. 28. What is presented in The Anxious Generation? A. Scary stories affect children’s brains. B. Parents are responsible for children’s health. C. Teen’s mental illness results from screen time. D The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable. 29. What does “the same message ” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Many countries do research in mental health. B. Well-being and social media are closely related. C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis, D. Social media don’t necessarily cause mental illness. 30. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Effective actions need to be taken. B. Positive stories should be shared. C. Financial support needs to be provided. D. Broader research should be done. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest ways to help those in need. B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis. C. To recommend a newly-published book. D. To give a voice to children’s mental issues. D Virtual reality (VR) is already widespread in various fields. But while vision and hearing interfaces (接口) are extremely advanced, and touch, or “haptics,” is improving, one key sense has been missing from the virtual world: smell. That may be about to change. Engineer Xinge Yu of the City University of Hong Kong and his colleagues have developed a lightweight, flexible and wireless smell interface that can precisely deliver smells such as pineapple or green tea to VR users and more fully immerse them in scented virtual worlds. Previous smell interfaces have typically used bottles of liquid perfume, an atomizer (a device that turns liquids into a fine mist) and some method of blowing the atomized droplets out. This works, but it is rigid and has limited operating time between refills, and it does not easily allow for controlling intensity. These drawbacks have made the devices less practical for VR systems. The new design uses small wax pads filled with scents that are heated by an electrode (电极) to release a smell. A thermistor senses the temperature, which controls the smell’s intensity. The study describes two different device formats. The first is small enough that it can be stuck to a user’s top lip, but it includes only two smell generators. The second is worn like a face mask and has nine. Both are customizable with a selection of 30 smells, including ginger, clove, mojito and coconut milk. Different combinations can be blended at varying intensities to create thousands of possible fragrances. The study includes demonstrations of possible applications beyond just enhancing VR, including communicating messages by smell and arousing emotions. The researchers suggest the devices could even be used to ease depressed mood or promote recall in people with age-related cognitive decline. “Scent is directly connected to the emotional and memory parts of the brain, so there are a lot of applications related to well-being and health,” Amores says. 32. What’s the function of paragraph 1? A. To give a definition of VR B. To introduce the change in VR C. To show the importance of VR D. To emphasize the existing use of VR 33. Which is the advantage of the new interfaces? A. They can only be worn as a face mask. B. They allow people to control the smell intensity. C. They have limited operating time between refills. D. They have typically used bottles of liquid perfume. 34. What does the author mean by saying the new interfaces are “customizable”? A. They are ready for sale. B. They have a selection of 30 smells. C. They can be blended at varying intensities. D. They can be designed to meet different needs. 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The design of the study. B. The advantages of the study. C. The applications of the study. D. The disadvantages of the study. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I’ve learned a lot in my many years in the gym, and beginner-me would be shocked by the things present-me does during the workouts. ___36___. And I’ve broken pretty much every other rule besides. Rest days are a convenient tool for making sure you’re not overworking yourself, but that’s all. Organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine recommend leaving 48 hours between intense strength-training periods for a given muscle. ___37___, it’s meant to be a general recommendation for beginners and for people who are exercising just to stay healthy. Once you’re talking about athletes or enthusiasts, they acknowledge that training most days of the week is fine, if your program manages tiredness effectively. The “10% rule” is a not-terrible guideline for figuring out how quickly to improve your training. ___38___. As running coach Jason Fitzgerald told us, “While the saying is to only increase weekly mileage (英里数) by 10%, this may be either too conservative or even too aggressive depending on where you start from.” If you’re a beginner and your mileage is overall very low; if we took the rule seriously, you wouldn’t be able to increase from zero to any other number. ___39___, but none of them are necessary. Creatine (肌酸) is one of the best-known muscle-building supplements (补充剂). It’s understood to be effective, but here’s the thing: That it does something for most people doesn’t mean it does very much. Likewise, protein powder is a helpful way to get more protein in your diet, but you don’t need to use a supplement. ___40___. A. But if you look at where they get that number B. You can just eat more protein-containing foods C. There are a few supplements that can help you in your fitness journey D. Or they may keep you at the same mileage for weeks at a time E. But it’s a suggestion, not a rule to be strictly obeyed F. And finally, drinks can give you more energy in the gym G. With the benefit of experience, I now do exercises I used to think one should “never” do 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 This winter was really special for me.

Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance. As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?” Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head. “This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically. It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were assigned to clear away the items. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Karen, you seem to be very busy these days.

As with everything else in life, our approach to keeping fit and healthy has changed over time. Here are four iconic fitness trends through the decades. Aerobics — 1970s Aerobics took off to improve the cardiovascular (心血管) system in a fun way and dance moves were combined with fitness movements, such as leg raises and marching in place. Aerobics inspired many different spin-offs from dance and step aerobics, to even water-based classes, all set to music. Spinning — 1990s Spinning launched cycling revolution in the 1990s which continues to this day, thanks to big-name gyms which have made cycling on fixed bikes a party for participants. Color changing lights, high-energy music and enthusiastic instructors have turned spin classes into a lively group activity which has attracted fans around the world. CrossFit—2000s CrossFit has been a team favorite in the fitness scene since the 2000s. The activity is competitive yet shared, with scores being tracked on a board. Classes typically last an hour or less, making each session an intense (强度的) and time-efficient workout which many are able to fit into their busy schedules. HIIT — 2020s HIIT, which stands for High Intensity Interval Training, has gained popularity recently, along with the rise of home workouts. Exercises, done in short, intense bursts, aim to build strength and endurance. It can be done through free online classes without any equipment, making it an affordable workout at home. 21. Which sport is mixed with dance? A. Aerobics. B. Spinning. C. CrossFit. D. HIIT. 22. What do Spinning and CrossFit have in common? A. They last for a short time. B. They can be group activities. C. They need lights and music. D. They are both competitive sports. 23. Which of the following can best describe the HIIT? A. Graceful and intense. B. Economical and convenient. C. Energetic and technical. D. Interesting and relaxing. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四项不同年代流行的健身运动。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Aerobics took off to improve the cardiovascular (心血管) system in a fun way and dance moves were combined with fitness movements, such as leg raises and marching in place.(健美操开始以一种有趣的方式改善心血管系统，舞蹈动作与健身运动相结合，如抬腿和原地踏步)”可知，健美操结合了舞蹈的动作。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Color changing lights, high-energy music and enthusiastic instructors have turned spin classes into a lively group activity which has attracted fans around the world.(变色的灯光、充满活力的音乐和热情的教练将动感单车变成了一项充满活力的团体活动，吸引了世界各地的粉丝)”和第四段“CrossFit has been a team favorite in the fitness scene since the 2000s. (自2000年代以来，混合健身一直是健身界的团队最爱)”可知，Spinning动感单车和CrossFit混合健身都可以成为团体运动。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It can be done through free online classes without any equipment, making it an affordable workout at home.(它可以通过免费的在线课程完成，不需要任何设备，使其成为一种负担得起的在家锻炼)”可知，HIIT间歇训练可以在家跟着网上免费课程训练，所以这项运动是非常经济实惠且方便开展的。故选B项。 B There has been a battle raging in my living room — a deep-rooted standoff that began when I was a child of about nine. That is the age I was when my parents purchased a second-hand piano to support my continuing musical training. Some may characterize it as a love-hate relationship, even though I believe the bond between us is more than that. Of course, on the “hate” side there were plenty of frustrating hours spent practicing, the forced performances for relatives, the trimmed fingernails. And the responsibility I had to shoulder, as my family sacrificed a lot for me to have piano lessons, because I had talent. My teachers said so and, truthfully, my heart said so, too. But all too often it felt like a burden. There was also love on that piano bench. There were times when I could feel the music ring through me. I could feel it vibrate through my fingers. The connection between two people when performing a duet was beautiful. When my music landed on my audience it made me want to play forever. But my musical talent did not survive my teenage years. It was no competition for the freedom I sought and eventually fought for. When I had a home of my own, the piano mostly sat unloved or at least unused, feeling fingers on the keys only during Christmas and when my own children took piano lessons. I know every inch of this piano. I spent years of my life in front of this piano. Awaiting my free will to ripen enough to release me from lessons. Awaiting my life to begin. Awaiting my mother to leave the room so I could secretly read my book while practicing scales. It feels like I am giving away the family pet. So here I sit playing my last tune before the movers take the piano away and surprisingly there lies a growing desire for something else. It is time to clear the air to let in a different melody. Time to say, “Thank you for being part of my life,” take a bow and leave the stage… with one final note rising up alongside the dust in a sunbeam. 24. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean? A. Conflict. B. Challenge. C. Relationship. D. Understanding. 25. Why did the author feel frustrated about playing piano? A. She lacked the talent in playing the piano. B. She had to give up activities she enjoyed. C. She felt burdened because of the responsibility. D. She couldn’t express her emotions through music. 26. What can we learn about the author in paragraph 5? A. The author looked forward to growing up. B. The piano took away the author’s freedom. C. The author made a great effort to learn piano. D. The author preferred reading to playing the piano. 27. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. A Farewell to My Piano. B. Challenges of Playing the Piano. C. Love and Responsibility in Music. D. Reflection on My Musical Journey. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己和一架钢琴之间的爱恨情仇，决定要把它处理掉时的心情非常复杂。 24题详解】 词句猜测题。本句是文章主题句。根据第二段中“Some may characterize it as a love-hate relationship, even though I believe the bond between us is more than that. Of course, on the “hate” side there were plenty of frustrating hours spent practicing, the forced performances for relatives, the trimmed fingernails.(有些人可能会把它描述为爱恨情仇，尽管我相信我们之间的关系不止于此。当然，在“讨厌”的一面，有很多令人沮丧的练习时间，强迫为亲戚表演，修剪指甲)”及第三段中“There was also love on that piano bench.(钢琴凳上也有爱)”可知，作者对这架二手钢琴的情感是矛盾的，既有爱又有恨，由此可知划线词词义为“冲突、矛盾”，故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Of course, on the ‘hate’ side there were plenty of frustrating hours spent practicing, the forced performances for relatives, the trimmed fingernails. And the responsibility I had to shoulder, as my family sacrificed a lot for me to have piano lessons, because I had talent. My teachers said so and, truthfully, my heart said so, too. But all too often it felt like a burden.(当然，在“讨厌”的一面，有很多令人沮丧的练习时间，强迫为亲戚表演，修剪指甲。还有我必须承担的责任，我的家人为了我上钢琴课牺牲了很多，因为我有天赋。我的老师是这么说的，说实话，我的内心也是这么说的。但很多时候，这感觉像是一种负担)”可知，作者是因为有了这架钢琴，多了很多责任，觉得很有负担，所以对此感到沮丧。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I know every inch of this piano. I spent years of my life in front of this piano. Awaiting my free will to ripen enough to release me from lessons. Awaiting my life to begin. Awaiting my mother to leave the room so I could secretly read my book while practicing scales.(我对这架钢琴了如指掌。我在这架钢琴前度过了那么多年。等待我的自由意志成熟到足以让我从教训中解脱出来。等待我的生活开始。等着妈妈离开房间，这样我就可以一边练音阶一边偷偷看书)”可知，作者认为练钢琴占据了自己很多时间，剥夺了自己做自己喜欢做的事情的自由。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It feels like I am giving away the family pet. So here I sit playing my last tune before the movers take the piano away and surprisingly there lies a growing desire for something else.(感觉就像我把家里的宠物送人了。所以，在搬家公司把钢琴搬走之前，我坐在这里弹奏最后一首曲子，令人惊讶的是，我越来越想要别的东西)”可知，作者回顾了多年来对这架钢琴的复杂情感，最后表示要把钢琴处理掉了。所以A Farewell to My Piano.最适合作题目，farewell意为“告别，再见”。故选A项。 C I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development many parents are led to believe. However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心) us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people. Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers. We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use. As a psychologist studying children’s and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’ frustration (沮丧) and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors. More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more. 28. What is presented in The Anxious Generation? A. Scary stories affect children’s brains. B Parents are responsible for children’s health. C. Teen’s mental illness results from screen time. D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable. 29. What does “the same message ” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Many countries do research in mental health. B. Well-being and social media are closely related. C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis, D. Social media don’t necessarily cause mental illness. 30. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Effective actions need to be taken. B. Positive stories should be shared. C. Financial support needs to be provided. D. Broader research should be done. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest ways to help those in need. B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis. C. To recommend a newly-published book. D. To give a voice to children’s mental issues. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文是对《焦虑的一代》一书的评论，作者认为该书提出的数字技术导致儿童大脑重构和精神健康危机的观点缺乏科学依据。作者强调，精神障碍的成因复杂，需要基于科学和证据的解决方案，而不是简单归咎于社交媒体。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. (然而，这本书一再暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神健康问题的流行，这一观点并没有得到科学的支持。)”可知，该书重复暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神健康问题的流行。C选项“Teen’s mental illness results from screen time.(青少年的精神疾病与看屏幕时间有关。)”与该描述相一致。故选C。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.( 随着时间的推移，他们发现社交媒体的使用并不是预测或导致抑郁症，而是已经有心理健康问题的年轻人比健康的同龄人更频繁地或以不同的方式使用这些平台。)”以及划线词后面的内容“An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. (在72个国家进行的一项分析显示，在全球范围内，幸福感和社交媒体之间没有一致的或可衡量的联系。)”可知，“同样的信息”指的是社交媒体并不一定导致心理健康问题。通过在72个国家进行的一项分析显示，在全球范围内，幸福感和社交媒体之间没有一致的或可衡量的联系。故划线词指代的是没有一致或可测量的证据表明社交媒体与幸福感之间有密切关系。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.(我们这一代人正处于危机之中，迫切需要科学和基于证据的解决方案所能提供的最好的东西。不幸的是，我们的时间花在讲述没有研究支持的故事上，这些故事对那些需要、也应该得到更多支持的年轻人几乎没有帮助。)”可知，针对于年轻人的心理健康问题，我们正在浪费时间讲述没有研究支持的故事，而这些故事对需要帮助的年轻人并没有帮助，这暗示我们需要采取有效的行动来解决这个问题。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development many parents are led to believe. However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science.(读完《焦虑的一代》后，我不得不说些什么。这本书将会畅销，因为乔纳森·海特特讲述了一个许多父母都倾向于相信的关于儿童发展可怕的故事。然而，书中反复暗示数字技术正在重新连接我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神疾病的流行，这一观点并没有科学支持。)”以及最后一段中“Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.(不幸的是，我们的时间花在讲述没有研究支持的故事上，这些故事对那些需要、也应该得到更多支持的年轻人几乎没有帮助。)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都在批评一本书的观点，并强调需要科学和证据支持的解决方案，而不应该把时间浪费在没有科学研究支持的结论中，由此表明作者的目的是引起人们对儿童心理健康问题以及真正引发其该问题的原因进行关注和理解。D选项“To give a voice to children’s mental issues.(为孩子们的心理问题发声。)”符合作者的目的。故选D。 D Virtual reality (VR) is already widespread in various fields. But while vision and hearing interfaces (接口) are extremely advanced, and touch, or “haptics,” is improving, one key sense has been missing from the virtual world: smell. That may be about to change. Engineer Xinge Yu of the City University of Hong Kong and his colleagues have developed a lightweight, flexible and wireless smell interface that can precisely deliver smells such as pineapple or green tea to VR users and more fully immerse them in scented virtual worlds. Previous smell interfaces have typically used bottles of liquid perfume, an atomizer (a device that turns liquids into a fine mist) and some method of blowing the atomized droplets out. This works, but it is rigid and has limited operating time between refills, and it does not easily allow for controlling intensity. These drawbacks have made the devices less practical for VR systems. The new design uses small wax pads filled with scents that are heated by an electrode (电极) to release a smell. A thermistor senses the temperature, which controls the smell’s intensity. The study describes two different device formats. The first is small enough that it can be stuck to a user’s top lip, but it includes only two smell generators. The second is worn like a face mask and has nine. Both are customizable with a selection of 30 smells, including ginger, clove, mojito and coconut milk. Different combinations can be blended at varying intensities to create thousands of possible fragrances. The study includes demonstrations of possible applications beyond just enhancing VR, including communicating messages by smell and arousing emotions. The researchers suggest the devices could even be used to ease depressed mood or promote recall in people with age-related cognitive decline. “Scent is directly connected to the emotional and memory parts of the brain, so there are a lot of applications related to well-being and health,” Amores says. 32. What’s the function of paragraph 1? A. To give a definition of VR B. To introduce the change in VR C. To show the importance of VR D. To emphasize the existing use of VR 33. Which is the advantage of the new interfaces? A. They can only be worn as a face mask. B. They allow people to control the smell intensity. C. They have limited operating time between refills. D. They have typically used bottles of liquid perfume. 34. What does the author mean by saying the new interfaces are “customizable”? A. They are ready for sale. B. They have a selection of 30 smells. C. They can be blended at varying intensities. D. They can be designed to meet different needs. 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The design of the study. B. The advantages of the study. C. The applications of the study. D. The disadvantages of the study. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟现实（VR）技术中嗅觉接口的发展。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Virtual reality (VR) is already widespread in various fields. But while vision and hearing interfaces (接口) are extremely advanced, and touch, or ‘haptics,’ is improving, one key sense has been missing from the virtual world: smell.(虚拟现实（VR）已经广泛应用于各个领域。但是，虽然视觉和听觉接口非常先进，触觉或‘触觉技术’也在不断改进，但虚拟世界中仍然缺少一种关键感官：嗅觉)”结合下文对VR嗅觉的介绍可知，第一段主要是介绍了VR的一个变化。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A thermistor senses the temperature, which controls the smell’s intensity.(热敏电阻感知温度，从而控制气味的强度)”可知，新接口的优势是允许人们控制气味的强度。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Both are customizable with a selection of 30 smells, including ginger, clove, mojito and coconut milk. Different combinations can be blended at varying intensities to create thousands of possible fragrances.(两者都可通过30种气味进行定制，包括生姜、丁香、莫吉托和椰奶。不同组合可以以不同的强度混合，创造出成千上万种可能的香味)”可知，作者说新接口是“可定制的”意思是它们可以根据不同的需求进行设计，创造出不同的香味组合。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The study includes demonstrations of possible applications beyond just enhancing VR, including communicating messages by smell and arousing emotions. The researchers suggest the devices could even be used to ease depressed mood or promote recall in people with age-related cognitive decline.(该研究展示了除增强VR之外的可能应用，包括通过气味传递信息和激发情感。研究人员表示，这些设备甚至可用于缓解抑郁情绪或促进有年龄相关认知衰退的人的回忆)”可知，最后一段主要讲了该研究的应用。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I’ve learned a lot in my many years in the gym, and beginner-me would be shocked by the things present-me does during the workouts. ___36___. And I’ve broken pretty much every other rule besides. Rest days are a convenient tool for making sure you’re not overworking yourself, but that’s all. Organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine recommend leaving 48 hours between intense strength-training periods for a given muscle. ___37___, it’s meant to be a general recommendation for beginners and for people who are exercising just to stay healthy. Once you’re talking about athletes or enthusiasts, they acknowledge that training most days of the week is fine, if your program manages tiredness effectively. The “10% rule” is a not-terrible guideline for figuring out how quickly to improve your training. ___38___. As running coach Jason Fitzgerald told us, “While the saying is to only increase weekly mileage (英里数) by 10%, this may be either too conservative or even too aggressive depending on where you start from.” If you’re a beginner and your mileage is overall very low; if we took the rule seriously, you wouldn’t be able to increase from zero to any other number. ___39___, but none of them are necessary. Creatine (肌酸) is one of the best-known muscle-building supplements (补充剂). It’s understood to be effective, but here’s the thing: That it does something for most people doesn’t mean it does very much. Likewise, protein powder is a helpful way to get more protein in your diet, but you don’t need to use a supplement. ___40___. A. But if you look at where they get that number B. You can just eat more protein-containing foods C. There are a few supplements that can help you in your fitness journey D. Or they may keep you at the same mileage for weeks at a time E. But it’s a suggestion, not a rule to be strictly obeyed F. And finally, drinks can give you more energy in the gym G. With the benefit of experience, I now do exercises I used to think one should “never” do 【答案】36 G 37. A 38. E 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在健身时如何避免一些误区。 【36题详解】 由空处下一句“And I’ve broken pretty much every other rule besides.(我几乎违反了所有其他的规则)”可知，空处是在说现在的“我”和初学的“我”在健身方面所做的不同的事情。G项“得益于经验（的帮助），我现在做着我以前认为一个人‘永远’不应该做的运动”符合此处的语境，空后一句与空处所填内容是递进的逻辑关系。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据空前内容“Organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine recommend leaving 48 hours between intense strength-training periods for a given muscle.(美国运动医学学院等组织建议，对某块肌肉进行高强度力量训练的间隔为48小时)”可知，美国运动医学学院等组织建议，对某块肌肉进行高强度力量训练的时间间隔为48小时。根据空后的“it’s meant to be a general recommendation for beginners and for people who are exercising just to stay healthy(它意味着对初学者和那些只是为了保持健康而锻炼的人的一般建议)”可知，A项“但如果你看看他们是从哪儿得出那个数字的”符合此处的语境。A项中的that number指的是上文中的“... 48 hours between intense strength-training periods for a given muscle.”。故选A。 【38题详解】 空前一句“The ‘10% rule’ is a not-terrible guideline for figuring out how quickly to improve your training.(“10%规则”是一个不糟糕的指导方针，它可以帮助你理清如何快速地提高训练（水平）)”指出，“10%规则”是一个不糟糕的指导方针，它可以帮助你理清如何快速地提高训练（水平）。根据下文内容“As running coach Jason Fitzgerald told us, ‘While the saying is to only increase weekly mileage (英里数) by 10%, this may be either too conservative or even too aggressive depending on where you start from.’(正如跑步教练Jason Fitzgerald告诉我们的那样，‘虽然俗话说每周只增加10%的里程数，但这可能过于保守，甚至过于激进，这取决于你从哪里开始。’)”可知，这种规则是根据每个人的情况而定的。所以E项“但这（只）是一个建议，而不是一条需要严格遵守的规定”符合语境，选项中的it指代上文中的“the ‘10% rule’”，且下文的例子“If you’re a beginner and your mileage is overall very low; if we took the rule seriously, you wouldn’t be able to increase from zero to any other number.(如果你是初学者，你的里程总体上很低；如果我们认真对待这个规则，你就不能从0增加到任何其他数)”也进一步论证了E项的内容。故选E。 【39题详解】 分析文章结构可知，段落首句是本段的中心句。根据下文内容“Creatine (肌酸) is one of the best-known muscle-building supplements (补充剂).(肌酸是最著名的补充剂之一)”可知，本段内容与补充剂有关，空处与后半句“but none of them are necessary(但没有一个是必要的)”归纳了本段的中心，且空处与后半句之间是转折关系。分析选项可知，C项“有一些补充剂可以在你的健身之旅中帮助你”符合此处的语境且符合该段主旨。故选C。 【40题详解】 由空前内容“Likewise, protein powder is a helpful way to get more protein in your diet, but you don’t need to use a supplement.(同样，蛋白粉是一种从饮食中获得更多蛋白质的有效方法，但你不需要使用补充剂)”可知，（补充）蛋白粉是一种从饮食中获取更多蛋白质的有效方法，但你不需要使用补充剂。B项“你可以吃更多含蛋白质的食物”与上文语意衔接，表明吃更多含蛋白质的食物也可以补充所需营养。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 This winter was really special for me.

Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance. As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?” Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head. “This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically. It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were assigned to clear away the items. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. Indeed, the task seemed so demanding. Not long after they started working, the heat and dust made them uncomfortable. Cameron’s arms ached from moving heavy boxes, and Barton’s back was sore from bending over. When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished. Although the thought of giving up crossed their minds, the brothers pushed it aside thinking about how hard their parents had been working. The task took them over three hours, but they finally made the warehouse clean and tidy. Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. Mr. Thompson’s eyes widened seeing the once chaotic space took on a completely new look, where everything was in order. He had not expected the brothers to do this job so well. Mr. Thompson handed them their wages, paying extra, and said, “You’ve earned this. By the way, I could use some help over the summer. I wonder if you’re interested.” “We’ d love to!” Barton replied happily. Then the brothers went home excitedly, eager to share their success with their parents. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了十五岁的卡梅隆和十二岁的巴顿来自塔克斯科的一个小镇，父母辛勤工作仍入不敷出，兄弟俩决定在暑假寻找兼职帮助家庭。尽管初次求职被餐馆经理拒绝，他们并未气馁，随后向汤普森杂货店申请工作。店主起初认为他们太小，但在兄弟俩的真诚请求下同意让他们试一试。最终，卡梅隆和巴顿被安排清理仓库的杂物。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“这是一份艰难的工作。只要尽你所能去做，”汤普森说。”可知，第一段可以描写兄弟二人的辛苦工作的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“完成后卡梅隆和巴顿请汤普森先生来。”可知，第二段可以描写汤普森先生看到二人的成果后的反应和最后的结果。 2.续写线索：安排任务——努力完成——请汤普森先生来——得到钱——再次被邀请——兴奋地回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②完成：finish/complete ③放弃：give up/abandon 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②兴奋地：excitedly/feverishly 【点睛】【高分句型1】When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished.
