Up to June 2024, this service has covered the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Harbin, Shanghai-Kunming and other high-speed railways. The “quiet carriages” have silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量). Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off loudspeakers when using electronic devices (电子设备). They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibrate mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet. Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.” “When I booked the tickets, I first saw the choice for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I went into the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.” Experts say that the “quiet carriage!” service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It not only helps passengers to follow public order, but also creates a more civilized (文明的) travelling environment. 38．How does the author begin the article to get your interest in the “quiet carriage” service?

He certainly had the ability to focus—when he got lost in a good book, for example, thinking felt effortless. But when it came to some other tasks, thinking felt like pulling teeth. Westbrook managed to graduate in the end. Now he is a neuroscientist (神经学家). His research is shaking up old ideas about why we struggle with certain tasks. For years, scientists thought that mentally tiring tasks like writing and solving math problems required more energy than easier ones like looking out the window. As a result, these harder tasks would make us run out of fuel—and lose focus—more quickly. But the brain is a complex machine. It’s always doing heavy lifting. Even when you’re just looking around a room, your brain is dealing with lots of information (from your eyes) and using lots of energy. But we don’t think of such tasks as hard work, do we? According to Westbrook’s studies, we often think certain tasks are harder than they really are. “When you are thinking about doing a difficult task, it often feels much worse than when you are actually doing it,” Westbrook says. But this early “mental hurdle (障碍)” can lead us to put off the task or even avoid it altogether. “If we can get over this hurdle, thinking will become easier,” he adds. Westbrook’s team has found ways to help us do just that. For one, he suggests focusing on the benefits of completing the task rather than the effort it takes. We can also try to get into a mental state called “flow (心流).” When people are in this state, they seem not to care how hard the task is. One key to entering to “flow” is to reduce uncertainty. Before writing a book report, for example, you can set yourself a time limit. How much can you get done in 15 minutes? Finally, it can help to make these mentally tiring tasks a habit. Try doing them at the same time and place every day of week. After a few weeks, focusing on these tasks won’t just feel easier—it will be easier. 42．When Andrew Westbrook was in college, he found it hard to ________. A．focus on certain tasks B．find interesting books C．understand his classes D．stay focused on any activity 43．According to Westbrook’s studies, which of the following is TRUE? A．All tasks required the same amount of mental effort. B．Harder tasks would make us lose focus more quickly. C．Looking around the room could be as tiring as writing tasks. D．We put off some certain tasks because it is too difficult to finish. 44．According to the passage, who might it easier to enter “flow”? A．Jim, 40, a creative art designer always works in a quiet environment. B．Susan, 30, a manager in a big company usually set a time limit or a clear goal. C．Lucy, 35, a housewife often tries to get everything done in 15 minutes. D．David, 15, a middle-school student seldom put off hard tasks until the last minute. 45．Which of the following best shows the structure of passage? A．①②/③④/⑤⑥/⑦ B．①/②③④/⑤⑥/⑦ C．①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦ D．①/②③④/⑤/⑥⑦ 【答案】42．A 43．C 44．B 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了神经学家Andrew Westbrook对人们在某些任务上难以集中注意力的研究，挑战了旧有的观点，并提出了帮助人们克服心理障碍、更轻松完成任务的方法。 42．细节理解题。根据“Twenty years ago, when Andrew Westbrook was in college, he had a hard time staying focused in class. He certainly had the ability to focus—when he got lost in a good book, for example, thinking felt effortless. But when it came to some other tasks, thinking felt like pulling teeth.”可知，Andrew Westbrook在大学时，发现很难在某些任务上集中注意力，故选A。 43．细节理解题。根据“Even when you’re just looking around a room, your brain is dealing with lots of information (from your eyes) and using lots of energy. But we don’t think of such tasks as hard work, do we?”可知，句中表述四处看看房间和写作任务一样累人，因为大脑都在处理大量信息并消耗大量能量，只是我们不认为四处看房间是一项艰巨的任务，故选C。 44．推理判断题。根据“One key to entering to ‘flow’ is to reduce uncertainty. Before writing a book report, for example, you can set yourself a time limit. How much can you get done in 15 minutes?”可知，进入“心流”状态的一个关键是减少不确定性，比如给自己设定一个时间限制。Susan是一个大公司的经理，通常会设定时间限制或明确的目标，这有助于她减少不确定性，更容易进入“心流”状态，故选B。 45．篇章结构题。根据全文内容可知，文章的结构如下：①②段介绍了Andrew Westbrook在大学时的经历以及他现在作为神经学家对人们在某些任务上难以集中注意力的研究；③④⑤段阐述了科学家过去的观点以及大脑的复杂性，说明即使是简单的任务大脑也在消耗大量能量，此外Westbrook的研究还发现，即我们常常认为某些任务比实际更难，这种“心理障碍”会导致我们拖延或避免任务；⑥⑦段提出了解决上述问题的方法和策略，帮助我们克服心理障碍、更轻松完成任务的方法，包括关注完成任务的好处、进入“心流”状态以及养成习惯。因此，正确的结构是①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦，故选C。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共60分) 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 46．The astronauts (描述) what they had seen in space. 【答案】described 【详解】句意：宇航员描述了他们在太空看到了什么。“描述”describe，“had seen”表示过去完成时，所以“描述”这一动作发生在过去，是一般过去时，故用过去式。故填described。 47．Learn to manage your time (明智地) because time is life. 【答案】wisely 【详解】句意：学会明智地管理你的时间，因为时间就是生命。空格处需副词来修饰动词短语manage your time。“明智地” 对应的英文是wisely，故填wisely。 48．Dogs can be (训练) to understand difficult orders. 【答案】trained 【详解】句意：狗能被训练听懂困难的指令。根据汉语提示可知，train意为“训练”，“Dogs”与动词“train”为被动关系，使用被动语态，此处是含情态动词can的被动语态，其结构为情态动词+be done，动词用过去分词形式。故填trained。 49．He told us that he encouraged his son to take part in the writing (竞赛). 【答案】competition 【详解】句意：他告诉我们，他鼓励儿子参加写作比赛。根据汉语提示可知，空处应填competition“竞赛 ”，the writing修饰，用单数形式，特指写作比赛。故填competition。 50．“Ne Zha 2” has broken box office record, it is a good example of how animation can be used to tell meaningful (故事). 【答案】stories 【详解】句意：《哪吒2》打破了票房纪录，这是一个很好的例子，说明如何用动画来讲述有意义的故事。story“故事”，可数名词，此处应用复数名词stories，表泛指。故填stories。 51．Boys and girls, believe in (you). There is nothing impossible to him who will try. 【答案】yourselves 【详解】句意：男孩女孩们，相信你们自己。对愿意尝试的人来说，没有什么是不可能的。根据“Boys and girls, believe in…There is nothing impossible to him who will try.”可知，句子主语为名词复数，空处指的是相信你们自己，空处应为反身代词，且用复数。故填yourselves。 52．Miss Liu told us practice (make) perfect. So we must study hard. 【答案】makes 【详解】句意：刘老师告诉我们熟能生巧。所以我们必须努力学习。根据“practice…perfect”的语境可知，此处指熟能生巧，表达的是普遍真理或生活经验，应用一般现在时，主语为“practice”，用三单形式。故填makes。 53．The old man can’t get over the sadness because of his dog’s (die). 【答案】death 【详解】句意：这位老人因为他的狗的死亡而无法从悲伤中走出来。根据“because of his dog’s...”可知，“dog’s”是名词所有格形式，后也需接名词。所给单词“die”是动词，意为“死亡”，其名词形式是“death”，故填death。 54．The (develop) of science and technology has changed our lives a lot. 【答案】development 【详解】句意：科学技术的发展大大改变了我们的生活。根据“The...of science and technology has changed our lives a lot.”可知，此处需要使用名词形式，表示科学技术的发展大大改变了我们的生活。develop“发展”是动词，名词形式development，the development of...表示“……的发展”。故填development。 55．The Chinese women’s volleyball team (success) in breaking through a quarterfinal (四分之一决赛) of the 2024 Paris Olympics. 【答案】succeeded 【详解】句意：中国女排在2024年巴黎奥运会的四分之一决赛中成功突破。根据“The Chinese women’s volleyball team … (success) in breaking through a quarterfinal”可知，此处需要表达“成功”的意思，由于句子描述的是过去发生的事情，且“success”是名词，因此需要使用其动词形式“succeed”来表示“成功”的动作，过去式是“succeeded”。故填succeeded。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（不超过8个词） Anne was one of the lord’s daughters, loved riding.

By February 3rd, it had made over 4 billion yuan (about $550 million), breaking old records. This film’s success changed how cinemas worked in the whole country. To meet the high demand, theaters opened 1,000 - seat screening halls for the first time. Some theaters even had nearly 100 showings a day. Tickets were sold out quickly both on the Internet and at ticket offices. “Ne Zha 2” tells old stories in a new and interesting way. Popular characters like Ao Bing attract many young people. The movie’s theme, “fighting against fate”, makes teen-agers under pressure from school, family, or society feel inspired. A college student said after watching it, “It’s not just about gods and demons. It’s about how we should fight for our future.” Moreover, the film explores new relationships between characters. Ne Zha and AoBing were enemies before, but now they have both competition and friendship. It sets a new standard for Chinese animation (动画) with over 1,900 well—made special effect shots. A-mazing scenes show that Chinese animation can be as great as that of global big names like Disney or Studio Ghibli. “Ne Zha 2” not only makes a lot of money but also connects ancient culture with modern creativity. The spirit of Ne Zha’s challenging old rules— not only entertains but encourages young people to think critically and chase their dreams. 34．What was the total box office earnings of Ne Zha 2 by February 3rd?

C In December 2020, the “quiet carriage (车厢)” service was first introduced on some trains of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway. Up to June 2024, this service has covered the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Harbin, Shanghai-Kunming and other high-speed railways. The “quiet carriages” have silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量). Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off loudspeakers when using electronic devices (电子设备). They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibrate mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet. Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.” “When I booked the tickets, I first saw the choice for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I went into the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.” Experts say that the “quiet carriage!” service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It not only helps passengers to follow public order, but also creates a more civilized (文明的) travelling environment. 38．How does the author begin the article to get your interest in the “quiet carriage” service? A．By telling a personal story. B．By giving lots of examples. C．By explaining when and where the service started. D．By comparing it to other train services in each city. 39．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A．The history of high-speed rail services. B．The introduction of a new travelling way. C．The importance of people’s behavior. D．The rules that make the carriages quiet. 40．The underlined words “give it a shot” have the similar meaning with ______. A．enjoy myself B．have a try C．give up D．pay for it 41．Why do experts think the “quiet-carriage” service is valuable? A．It can help passengers focus on the work and rest better.

D Twenty years ago, when Andrew Westbrook was in college, he had a hard time staying focused in class. He certainly had the ability to focus—when he got lost in a good book, for example, thinking felt effortless. But when it came to some other tasks, thinking felt like pulling teeth. Westbrook managed to graduate in the end. Now he is a neuroscientist (神经学家). His research is shaking up old ideas about why we struggle with certain tasks. For years, scientists thought that mentally tiring tasks like writing and solving math problems required more energy than easier ones like looking out the window. As a result, these harder tasks would make us run out of fuel—and lose focus—more quickly. But the brain is a complex machine. It’s always doing heavy lifting. Even when you’re just looking around a room, your brain is dealing with lots of information (from your eyes) and using lots of energy. But we don’t think of such tasks as hard work, do we? According to Westbrook’s studies, we often think certain tasks are harder than they really are. “When you are thinking about doing a difficult task, it often feels much worse than when you are actually doing it,” Westbrook says. But this early “mental hurdle (障碍)” can lead us to put off the task or even avoid it altogether. “If we can get over this hurdle, thinking will become easier,” he adds. Westbrook’s team has found ways to help us do just that. For one, he suggests focusing on the benefits of completing the task rather than the effort it takes. We can also try to get into a mental state called “flow (心流).” When people are in this state, they seem not to care how hard the task is. One key to entering to “flow” is to reduce uncertainty. Before writing a book report, for example, you can set yourself a time limit. How much can you get done in 15 minutes? Finally, it can help to make these mentally tiring tasks a habit. Try doing them at the same time and place every day of week. After a few weeks, focusing on these tasks won’t just feel easier—it will be easier. 42．When Andrew Westbrook was in college, he found it hard to ________.
