B What will you do when one of the few bookstores in your neighborhood shuts down? If you’re Latanya DeVaughn, you will make a new and improved one! As a mom and writer, she had always dreamed of opening her own bookstore, so after watching another close its doors for good, she saw her chance. While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, actually making it happen simply wasn’t possible. What she came up with instead was to turn a bus into a bookmobile! With the help of her community, she raised money for her dream and, at the end of 2021, it came true! Bronx Bound Books rolled out in style as a bus with orange cube bookshelves. “People love the way it smells,” Latanya added. “One woman said the wood smell makes her feel like she’s at home.” Although the bookstore on wheels carries around 30,000 new and used books, it has more room than you might expect! Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of noted Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. “It’s meant to be that way,” she explained, “because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone I felt I could identify with.” Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to make sure that everyone in the neighborhood has books to read. That’s what Bronx Bound Books is for. “I can’t open up a bookstore on every corner, but I can probably pop up on tons of different corners,” she said. Thanks to Latanya and her Bronx Bound Books, the town is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure that the little bookstore will continue to develop quickly! 4. How did Latanga DeVoughn respond to the shutdown of bookstores? A She took over and reopened them soon. B. She set up her own special bookstore. C. She opened bookstores on every block. D. She called on neighbors to open a new one. 5. James Baldwin and Alice Walker are mentioned in paragraph 3 to show that________. A. it’s hard to store books with various characters. B. all readers can identify with Black authors. C. Latanya cares for individual readers’ need. D. Bronx Bound Books has limited room. 6. Why is Bronx Bound Books open? A. To recycle old books around the neighborhood. B. To raise money for Latanya DeVaughn’s dream. C. To make reading accessible to everyone in the neighborhood. D. To open up a bookstore on every comer across the world. 7. What does the author think of Bronx Bound Books? A Alarming. B. Affordable. C. Creative. D. Promising. C Topher White spends so much time walking in the forest and thinking about how quickly we’re losing it. The engineer is determined to stop global deforestation. Founder of the San Francisco-based non-profit Rainforest Connection, White has developed a small but clever strategy: using old cell phones to listen for the sound of destruction. Forests are disappearing worldwide, and fast：an area about half the size of England is lost each year. The Amazon has lost close to one-fifth of its rainforest cover in the last four decades. Forest loss not only harms wildlife, including many species that live nowhere else, but it’s also a big contributor to the greenhouse gas emission (排放) that cause climate change. ”I didn’t know any of this when I started,“ says White, who began his journey in 2011, when he traveled to Indonesian Borneo to help decreasing gibbons (长臂猿). Between 50 and 90 percent of the logging that happens in the world’s rainforests is illegal, according to White, yet detecting chainsaws (电锯) and other sounds related to that activity can be tough, because the air is already filled with the loud unpleasant mixture of sounds from nature. So he has developed a system in which he installs a cell phone that stays charged by solar cells, attaches an extra microphone, and listens. From there, the device can detect the sounds of chainsaws nearly a mile away. Because it’s unfeasible to have people listening to the devices all the time, he added some “old-school data analysis”, so that the cell phone’s computers can distinguish a chainsaw’s sound from others in the forest. This way, his device can automatically detect logging activity and send a text alert to authorities who can determine if it’s illegal and then stop it. White notes that he’s not alone in the fight: Many people and organizations are working tirelessly to stop forests from disappearing. For instance, local groups are particularly active in forest conservation efforts, White says. So far, his monitoring devices have been used in Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil and will soon be used in Bolivia. It’s not just about listening for logging. The same technology that can pick out the buzz of a chainsaw can pick out the sounds of specific birds, which is why Whtie sees the forest recordings as a potential science tool. He’s urging biologists and ecologists to use his monitoring system anywhere, whether it’s a remote forest or a park in London. “The more we learn about these places,” he says, “the easier it’ll be to protect them.” 8. The second paragraph is mainly about . A. the measures to prevent forest loss B. the causes and effects of forest loss C. the areas that suffer great forest loss D. the urgency about reducing forest loss 9. What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Impractical. B. Unnecessary. C. Possible. D. Significant. 10. In Topher White’s opinion, we should protect nature based on . A. our advanced technology B. our strong teamwork spirit C. our good understanding of it D. our environmental awareness 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Efforts should be taken to preserve nature B. Your old cell phone can help save the rainforest C. Old cell phones can be used for helping gibbons D. A creative way is being used to protect specific birds D We all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted(打断). But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University. Using a set of controlled audio clips, Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions(认知)of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt. Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation: The differences in conversational styles became obvious when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying. “People care about being interrupted, and those smalt interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.” 12. What does Hilton’s research focus on? A. What interruptions mean to people. B. Where interruptions are accepted. C. How to avoid getting interrupted D. Why speakers interrupt each other. 13. What do participants of the study need to do? A. Record an audio clip. B. Answer some questions. C. Listen to one another. D. Have a chat with a friend. 14. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat? A. It’s important. B. It’s interesting. C. It’s inefficient. D. It’s impolite. 15. What can we learn from Hilton’s research? A. Conversational styles affect perceptions of interruptions. B. Communication is the very basis of our everyday life. C. Interruptions during conversations contribute to thinking. D. Language barriers will always exist regardless of the content. 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。 Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.

If you’re Latanya DeVaughn, you will make a new and improved one! As a mom and writer, she had always dreamed of opening her own bookstore, so after watching another close its doors for good, she saw her chance. While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, actually making it happen simply wasn’t possible. What she came up with instead was to turn a bus into a bookmobile! With the help of her community, she raised money for her dream and, at the end of 2021, it came true! Bronx Bound Books rolled out in style as a bus with orange cube bookshelves. “People love the way it smells,” Latanya added. “One woman said the wood smell makes her feel like she’s at home.” Although the bookstore on wheels carries around 30,000 new and used books, it has more room than you might expect! Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of noted Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. “It’s meant to be that way,” she explained, “because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone I felt I could identify with.” Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to make sure that everyone in the neighborhood has books to read. That’s what Bronx Bound Books is for. “I can’t open up a bookstore on every corner, but I can probably pop up on tons of different corners,” she said. Thanks to Latanya and her Bronx Bound Books, the town is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure that the little bookstore will continue to develop quickly! 4. How did Latanga DeVoughn respond to the shutdown of bookstores? A. She took over and reopened them soon. B. She set up her own special bookstore. C. She opened bookstores on every block. D. She called on neighbors to open a new one. 5. James Baldwin and Alice Walker are mentioned in paragraph 3 to show that________. A. it’s hard to store books with various characters. B. all readers can identify with Black authors. C. Latanya cares for individual readers’ need. D. Bronx Bound Books has limited room. 6. Why is Bronx Bound Books open? A. To recycle old books around the neighborhood. B. To raise money for Latanya DeVaughn’s dream. C. To make reading accessible to everyone in the neighborhood. D. To open up a bookstore on every comer across the world. 7. What does the author think of Bronx Bound Books? A. Alarming. B. Affordable. C. Creative. D. Promising. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Latanya DeVaughn设法开了一家特殊的书店——Bronx Bound Books，尽自己的一份力量确保附近的每个人都有书读。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, actually making it happen simply wasn’t possible. What she came up with instead was to turn a bus into a bookmobile!(虽然Latanya说每个社区都应该有一家书店，但实际上这是不可能的。她想到的是把一辆公共汽车变成一辆流动图书车!)”可知，面对实体书店的关闭，Latanya创办了自己特殊的书店——流动图书车。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of noted Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. ‘It’s meant to be that way,’ she explained, ‘because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone I felt I could identify with.’(Latanya还确保有各种人物角色的书，这样所有读者都能在书中看到自己。当然，她的作品集也收录了詹姆斯·鲍德温和爱丽丝·沃克等著名黑人作家的作品。‘本来就是这样的，’她解释道，‘因为我记得我去书店，不得不翻阅书籍，只是为了找到一个我觉得可以认同的书’)”推知，第三段中提到詹姆斯·鲍德温和爱丽丝·沃克是为了表明Latanya关心每个读者的需求。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to make sure that everyone in the neighborhood has books to read. That’s what Bronx Bound Books is for.(Latanya每天在一个新的地方开设书店，尽自己的一份力量，确保社区里的每个人都有书可读。这就是Bronx Bound Books的目的)”可知，Bronx Bound Books的目的是确保社区里的每个人都有书可读。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段“Thanks to Latanya and her Bronx Bound Books, the town is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure that the-little bookstore will continue to develop quickly!(多亏了Latanya和她的Bronx Bound Books，这个小镇正一天天成为图书爱好者的天堂。我相信小书店会继续快速发展!)”推知，作者认为Bronx Bound Books的前景很好。故选D项。 C Topher White spends so much time walking in the forest and thinking about how quickly we’re losing it. The engineer is determined to stop global deforestation. Founder of the San Francisco-based non-profit Rainforest Connection, White has developed a small but clever strategy: using old cell phones to listen for the sound of destruction. Forests are disappearing worldwide, and fast：an area about half the size of England is lost each year. The Amazon has lost close to one-fifth of its rainforest cover in the last four decades. Forest loss not only harms wildlife, including many species that live nowhere else, but it’s also a big contributor to the greenhouse gas emission (排放) that cause climate change. ”I didn’t know any of this when I started,“ says White, who began his journey in 2011, when he traveled to Indonesian Borneo to help decreasing gibbons (长臂猿). Between 50 and 90 percent of the logging that happens in the world’s rainforests is illegal, according to White, yet detecting chainsaws (电锯) and other sounds related to that activity can be tough, because the air is already filled with the loud unpleasant mixture of sounds from nature. So he has developed a system in which he installs a cell phone that stays charged by solar cells, attaches an extra microphone, and listens. From there, the device can detect the sounds of chainsaws nearly a mile away. Because it’s unfeasible to have people listening to the devices all the time, he added some “old-school data analysis”, so that the cell phone’s computers can distinguish a chainsaw’s sound from others in the forest. This way, his device can automatically detect logging activity and send a text alert to authorities who can determine if it’s illegal and then stop it. White notes that he’s not alone in the fight: Many people and organizations are working tirelessly to stop forests from disappearing. For instance, local groups are particularly active in forest conservation efforts, White says. So far, his monitoring devices have been used in Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil and will soon be used in Bolivia. It’s not just about listening for logging. The same technology that can pick out the buzz of a chainsaw can pick out the sounds of specific birds, which is why Whtie sees the forest recordings as a potential science tool. He’s urging biologists and ecologists to use his monitoring system anywhere, whether it’s a remote forest or a park in London. “The more we learn about these places,” he says, “the easier it’ll be to protect them.” 8. The second paragraph is mainly about . A. the measures to prevent forest loss B. the causes and effects of forest loss C. the areas that suffer great forest loss D. the urgency about reducing forest loss 9. What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Impractical. B. Unnecessary. C. Possible. D. Significant. 10. In Topher White’s opinion, we should protect nature based on . A. our advanced technology B. our strong teamwork spirit C. our good understanding of it D. our environmental awareness 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Efforts should be taken to preserve nature B. Your old cell phone can help save the rainforest C. Old cell phones can be used for helping gibbons D. A creative way is being used to protect specific birds 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述阻止全球滥伐的方法——通过使用旧手机来聆听破坏雨林的声音——从而拯救雨林。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Forests are disappearing worldwide, and fast:an area about half the size of England is lost each year. The Amazon has lost close to one-fifth of its rainforest cover in the last four decades. Forest loss not only harms wildlife, including many species that live nowhere else, but it’s also a big contributor to the greenhouse gas emission that cause climate change. (世界范围内的森林正在迅速消失：每年大约有半个英格兰那么大的森林消失。在过去的四十年里，亚马逊失去了近五分之一的雨林覆盖面积。森林的消失不仅伤害了野生动物，包括许多在其他地方生活的物种，而且也是导致气候变化的温室气体排放的一个重要因素。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是全世界的森林面积大幅度减少，减少森林损失非常紧急。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段的“he added some “old-school data analysis,” so that the cell phone’s computers can distinguish a chainsaw’s sound from others in the forest. This way, his device can automatically detect logging activity and send a text alert to authorities who can determine if it’s illegal and then stop it. (他补充了一些传统的数据分析，这样手机的计算机就可以把电锯的声音和森林里的其他声音区分开来。通过这种方式，他的设备可以自动检测日志记录活动，并向专家发送文本警报，专家可以确定它是否非法，然后停止它。)”可知，让人们一直听着设备是不可能的，所以怀特做了一些数据分析，使设备可以自动检测日志记录活动，并向专家发送文本警报，因此推断unfeasible表示“不可行的，不切实际的”，与impractical意义相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的““The more we learn about these places,” he says, “the easier it will be to protect them.”(他说：“我们对这些地方了解得越多，就越容易保护它们”。)”可知，怀特认为我们更好地了解自然，就能更容易地保护自然。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并根据第一段的“Topher White spends so much time walking in the forest and thinking about how quickly we’re losing it. The engineer is determined to stop global deforestation. Founder of the San Francisco-based non-profit Rainforest Connection, White has developed a small but clever strategy: using old cell phones to listen for the sound of destruction. (托弗·怀特花了很多时间在森林里行走，思考我们失去森林的速度有多快。这位工程师决心阻止全球森林砍伐。怀特是旧金山非营利组织雨林连接的创始人，他制定了一个小而聪明的策略：用旧手机听破坏声。)”可知，文章主要讲述了阻止全球滥伐的方法——通过使用旧手机来聆听破坏雨林的声音，因此B项(你的旧手机可以帮助拯救雨林)可以作为标题。故选B。 D We all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted(打断). But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University. Using a set of controlled audio clips, Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions(认知)of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt. Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation: The differences in conversational styles became obvious when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying. “People care about being interrupted, and those smalt interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.” 12. What does Hilton’s research focus on? A. What interruptions mean to people. B. Where interruptions are accepted. C. How to avoid getting interrupted D. Why speakers interrupt each other. 13. What do participants of the study need to do? A. Record an audio clip. B. Answer some questions. C. Listen to one another. D. Have a chat with a friend. 14. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat? A. It’s important. B. It’s interesting. C. It’s inefficient. D. It’s impolite. 15. What can we learn from Hilton’s research? A. Conversational styles affect perceptions of interruptions. B. Communication is the very basis of our everyday life. C. Interruptions during conversations contribute to thinking. D. Language barriers will always exist regardless of the content. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，在谈话中被打断是否会带来不愉快，因人而异。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.(但这真的是打扰吗？根据斯坦福大学凯瑟琳·希尔顿领导的一项新研究，答案取决于你问谁。)”和第四段第二、三句“The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.(高强度组报告说，人们在表达同意的同时说话的对话不会被打断，而是比在说话之间保持沉默的对话更投入、更友好。相比之下，低强度组认为任何数量的同时聊天都是粗鲁的打断，不管说话人在说什么。)”可知，文章主要说明了“打断”对不同的人来说，意义不同，即“打断”对人们意味着什么。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.(她让参与者听一些音频片段，然后回答一些问题，比如说话者看起来是否友好、投入、彼此倾听，还是试图打断。)”可知，参与者们需要在听完音频后回答一些问题。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.(低强度说话者觉得同时说话很不礼貌，他们更喜欢人们在谈话中一个接一个地说话。)”根据第四段“ In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.”（相比之下，无论说话人在说什么，低强度组都认为同时聊天是一种粗鲁的打断）可推知，对于低强度聊天者来说，同时聊天是粗鲁的，不礼貌的。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The differences in conversational styles became obvious when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.(希尔顿说，当参与者听两个人同时说话的音频片段时，谈话风格的差异变得明显起来，这些音频片段中两人的意见一致，并保持在主题上。高强度组报告说，人们在表达同意的同时说话的对话不会被打断，而是比在说话之间保持沉默的对话更投入、更友好。相比之下，无论说话人在说什么，低强度组都认为同时聊天是一种粗鲁的打断。)”和最后一段““People care about being interrupted, and those smalt interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”(“人们很在意被打断，而这些小的干扰会对整体交流产生巨大影响，”希尔顿说。“如果我们想了解人类之间是如何互动的，就必须分解中断的含义。”)”可推知，会话风格会影响对中断的感知。故选A。 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。 Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills. _____16_____Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression. ___17___ As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: _____18_____ Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. ____19____ However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilliant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges. What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being. ____20____ These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety. A. Art therapy is a double-edged sword. B. Thus, the many benefits of creative self-expression are lost. C. They develop art as an expressive skill for solving problems. D. But, obviously, releasing their anger in this way isn't a good choice. E. Art therapy, in its own ways, can influence a range of human functioning. F. It can significantly enhance positive moods and boost measures of well-being. G. However, with art therapists’ help, their energy could be changed into creative products. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术疗法的概念以及其作用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills.(王尔德曾经说过：“当人以自己的身份说话时，就越不是他自己。给他一个面具，他就会告诉你真相。”当人们缺乏语言能力时，艺术提供了一种交流经验的方式)”以及最后一段中“Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.(艺术疗法建立在每个人都有创造力和自我表达能力的假设上)”可知，上文提到人们把艺术当作一种交流经验的方式，后文则提到艺术疗法建立在自我表达能力的假设上，故本句是在说明人们将艺术发展成了一种表达技巧。C选项中expressive对应后文self-expression。故C选项“他们把艺术发展成一种解决问题的表达技巧”最符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据后文“As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state.(作为一种恢复性练习，它允许人们用非语言的方式表达自己，比如绘画。即使是45分钟的创造性活动也能改变一个人的精神状态)”可知，后文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态，即艺术可以影响人的功能。故E选项“艺术疗法，以其自身的方式，可以影响一系列的人类功能”最符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more(即使是45分钟的创造性活动也能改变一个人的精神状态。与艺术治疗师一起工作甚至可以做得更多)”可知，上文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态，且与艺术治疗师可以做得更多，故本句是在说明艺术还能如何影响人的精神状态。故F选项“它能显著增强积极情绪，提高幸福感”最符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself.(小孩子通常会画画、唱歌、跳舞，并不担心他们的能力。然而，成年人往往对艺术和艺术创作有复杂的感情。他们开始评估自己的艺术质量，而不是关注自我表现本身)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出成年人更关注自己的艺术质量的结果：创造性自我表达的许多好处就失去了。故B选项“因此，创造性自我表达的许多好处就失去了”最符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being.(艺术治疗师的超能力是什么？他们可以把危险的想法转化成富有想象力的艺术品。例如，有暴力倾向的人可能会通过打别人来发泄他们的愤怒)”以及后文“These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.( 这些艺术选择在不损害个人安全的情况下满足了大脑对新奇事物的渴望)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出有暴力倾向的人是如何通过艺术治疗师的帮助，将精力转化成艺术且不伤害别人的，故G选项“然而，在艺术治疗师的帮助下，他们的精力可以转化为创造性的产品”最符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共四节，满分50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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was painful and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it.
