Join Sean Carroll, an expert in physics, as he explores deep questions about the nature of space, time and motion, and lays out the framework of classical physics from Galileo and Euclid to Newton and Einstein. Big Thinkers Series 2023 Online | November 10, 2023 The 2023 Big Thinkers series from New Scientist events features eight online talks streamed throughout 2023, covering a wide range of topics all of which will be brought to you by world-class experts. If you are curious about your brain, your body, our planet or the universe, then this series is your place to hear the latest research. Memory, the Brain and Who We Are Online | November 15, 2023 | 18:00–19:00 Psychiatrist Veronica O’Keane will draw examples of the broken memories of psychosis (精神失常) to explain the complex human brain and offer you some expertise (专业知识). How do our brains store and then conjure up (浮现) past experiences to make us who we are? Are there such things as “true” and “false” memories? These examples will offer a new way of thinking about our own personal experiences. Instant Expert: Understanding Your Brain The British Library, London | November 19, 2023 At this event, six experts will guide you on a tour of the most attractive object in the known universe. On the way you’ll learn how our brains learn languages, how they store memories and why they need to sleep.

But believe it or not, they did. What was more surprising, however, was the person who left that massive tip for them. It wasn’t from a customer who was feeling extra generous that day. No, it was Jesse, a food delivery rider who came by to pick up an online order. Being a familiar face among the staff due to frequent orders from the restaurant, the delivery rider wanted to show his best appreciation for their hard work in ensuring orders are prepared on time every time he comes by to pick something up. Along with the tip, he also left a heartfelt written note. “Hello! I am writing to you all because I am very happy with your food and friendly customer service,” the note starts. “I want to say that your food is really delicious. You know, every day when I’m working, I see you all working so hard, which makes me feel proud of you all. Working is not easy, and I understand that because I am also working. Therefore, I want to thank you all for the good food and I want to help you all. Here inside is $600, for all of you. Share it among yourselves. Thank you once again!” Speaking to Shin Min Daily, Thai Dynasty director Jason Pay said he never expected such a thing from a delivery rider, despite Jesse being a familiar face. “Employees are allowed to keep the tips for their good service, but they chose to return it, which I’m touched by,” Pay said. Yes, they managed to return the super generous tip when Jesse swung by a few hours later to pick up another order. But seeing the hard work that the delivery rider highlighted in his staff, Pay decided to reward them the next day with pizza and other dishes for lunch. 4. What does the underlined word “It” in the second paragraph refer to? A. The tip. B. An note. C. A stranger. D. An order. 5. What impressed Jesse most about the restaurant? A. The delicious food. B. The familiar faces. C. The generous customers. D. The positive working attitude. 6. What did the staff do to show their appreciation? A. They told the story to the newspaper. B. They gave back the tip to the delivery rider. C. They helped the delivery rider get more orders. D. They treated the rider with delicious pizza and other dishes. 7. Which saying can describe the text best? A. Experience must be bought. B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C. A hero is known in the time of misfortune. D. Everyone’s love will make the world a better place. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在新加坡，一位送餐员给了一家餐厅的员工们一笔高额的小费作为对他们辛勤工作的感谢，而餐厅的员工们将这笔小费港还给了同样辛勤工作的送餐员的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段第一、二句“What was more surprising, however, was the person who left that massive tip for them. It wasn’t from a customer who was feeling extra generous that day. (然而，更令人惊讶的是那个给他们留下巨额小费的人。这并不是一位那天感觉特别慷慨的顾客发出的。)”可推知，It指代的是上文中提到的“tip”，即小费。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Being a familiar face among the staff due to frequent orders from the restaurant, the delivery rider wanted to show his best appreciation for their hard work in ensuring orders are prepared on time every time he comes by to pick something up.(由于餐厅的订单频繁，外卖骑手在工作人员中是一个熟悉的面孔，每次他来取东西时，都想对他们的辛勤工作表示感谢，以确保订单按时准备好。)”可推知，令Jesse印象最深的是这家餐厅里员工们积极的工作态度。故选D。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句中的“Employees are allowed to keep the tips for their good service, but they chose to return it, which I’m touched by(员工可以保留小费以奖励他们的优质服务，但他们选择退还，这让我很感动)”可知，员工们因其良好的服务而被允许保留小费，但他们选择退还小费。由此可知，员工们通过将小费还给了送餐员来表示他们的感激。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知, 文章主要讲述了在新加坡, 一位送餐员在经济状况困难的新型冠状病毒疫情期间给了一家餐厅的员工们一笔高额的小费作为对他们辛勤工作的感谢, 而餐厅的员工们将这笔小费退还给了同样辛勤工作的送餐员的故事。D项“只要人人都献出一点爱，世界会变得更加美好”符合本文主旨。故选D。 C In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal (共有的) living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said. The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 15th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo. Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka — migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defending. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical (对称的), and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark-tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict. Communal living is integrity to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO. 8. What do we know about tulou? A. Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status. B. Among 23,000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally. C. Tulou is the most outstanding Chinese human settlement. D. They’re exceptional buildings of tradition and function. 9. What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict? A. Enough food. B. Escape tunnels. C. Small windows. D. Defensive weapons. 10. What is probably the author’s attitude to the protection of tulou? A. Unconcerned. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Tulou: Given the World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008 B. Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending C. Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings D. Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environments 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的土楼建筑，介绍了其建造特点、功能等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中““The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal (共有的) living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said.(联合国教科文组织表示：“这些建筑之所以获奖，是因为它们是传统和功能建筑的杰出典范，展示了一种特殊类型的社区生活和防御组织，而且就其与环境的和谐关系而言，它们是人类住区的杰出典范。”)”可知，土楼是传统和功能建筑的杰出典范。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict.(有了充足的食物，居民可以在发生长期冲突时生存下来)”可知，在长期的冲突中，居民最重要的是足够的食物。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO.(土楼是一座非凡的建筑，不负联合国教科文组织授予的称号)”可推知，作者对土楼保护的态度是支持的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中““The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal (共有的) living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said.(联合国教科文组织表示：“这些建筑之所以获奖，是因为它们是传统和功能建筑的杰出典范，展示了一种特殊类型的社区生活和防御组织，而且就其与环境的和谐关系而言，它们是人类住区的杰出典范。”)”以及全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国的土楼建筑，介绍了其建造特点、功能等。由此可知，“土楼：中国特色的居住与防御相结合的建筑”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D The distinction between biologically primary and biologically secondary knowledge described by Geary is an instructionally important categorisation method. Biologically primary knowledge is knowledge we, as a species, have specifically evolved to acquire over generations. Primary skills, such as learning general problem solving strategies, recognising faces, communication through listening and speaking a native language, and social relations including our ability to communicate with each other, are modular, with each skill likely to have evolved during different evolutionary periods. We can acquire primary knowledge, easily, unconsciously, and without concrete instruction merely by membership in a group. The ability to acquire vast aspects of the culture we grow up in is biologically primary. Nevertheless, in most cultures, there are many concepts and procedures that we have not specifically evolved to acquire such as reading, doing mathematics, working with a computer, or searching the internet. Those biologically secondary skills are acquired consciously, often requiring considerable effort. Unlike primary knowledge and skills, obvious instruction is important when dealing with secondary knowledge and skills, or this knowledge acquisition will be severely compromised. Unlike the generic-cognitive (通用认知的) skills that tend to be biologically primary, biologically secondary skills tend to be field-specific. Examples of biologically secondary skills include almost everything that is taught in education and training institutions. The distinction between primary, generic-cognitive knowledge and secondary, field-specific knowledge explains why information tends to be acquired differently outside as opposed to inside educational contexts. We use primary knowledge to facilitate acquiring secondary knowledge. For example, to learn geometry in a traditional class or using computer-supported material requires primary skills such as visual recognition, attention, and senses about space, time and sequence, to name a few. In this way, the theoretical machinery of evolutionary educational psychology can be used to suggest that the primary, generic-cognitive knowledge associated with cooperative learning may, under some circumstances, improve the acquisition of the biologically secondary, field-specific knowledge that is taught. 12. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean? A. Consisting of separate parts. B. Looking like a piece of cake. C. Witnessing constant changes. D. Serving as long-term abilities. 13. What is the feature of primary skills? A. They aims to solve rare problems. B. They are acquired when one is born. C. They require no formal teaching. D. They are the product of observation. 14. Which writing way does the text skip when leading secondary skills? A. Posing contrasts. B. Quoting figures. C. Giving definitions. D. Showing examples. 15. How do primary skills help secondary knowledge acquisition? A. By finding their similarities. B. By laying a solid foundation. C. By bettering learners’ focus. D. By offering a familiar setting. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是生物性初级知识与生物性次级知识的区别，以及这两种知识在学习和教育中的重要性。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段的“Primary skills, such as learning general problem solving strategies, recognising faces, communication through listening and speaking a native language, and social relations including our ability to communicate with each other(基本技能，比如学习一般的解决问题的策略，识别面孔，通过听和说母语进行交流，以及社会关系，包括我们相互沟通的能力)”和“with each skill likely to have evolved during different evolutionary periods(每种技能都可能在不同的进化时期进化而来)”可知，每个初级技能可能在不同的进化时期进化。这句话的重点在于different，也就是说每个初级技能有自己对应要掌握的阶段，这些不同的阶段构成了不同的部分或模块，划线词modular的意思是“模块化”，和consisting of separate parts意思相近。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段的“We can acquire primary knowledge, easily, unconsciously, and without concrete instruction merely by membership in a group.(我们可以很容易地、不自觉地获得基本知识，而不需要具体的指导，仅仅是作为一个群体的成员。)”可知，我们可以很容易地、无意识地获取初级知识，只加入一个群体即可，不需要具体的讲授。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段“Biologically primary knowledge is knowledge we, as a species, have specifically evolved to acquire over generations.(生物学上的初级知识是我们作为一个物种，经过几代人的进化而获得的知识。)”可知，文中用了下定义的方法；由第三段“Nevertheless, in most cultures, there are many concepts and procedures that we have not specifically evolved to acquire such as reading, doing mathematics, working with a computer, or searching the internet.(然而，在大多数文化中，有许多概念和程序不是我们特别进化而获得的，比如阅读、做数学、使用电脑或搜索互联网。)”可知，文中用了举例子的方法；根据第三段“Unlike primary knowledge and skills(不像初级知识和技能)”可知，文中用了对比的方法。只有引用数据这种方法没有被使用。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段的“For example, to learn geometry in a traditional class or using computer-supported material requires primary skills such as visual recognition, attention, and senses about space, time and sequence, to name a few.(例如，在传统课堂上学习几何或使用计算机辅助材料需要一些基本技能，如视觉识别、注意力和对空间、时间和顺序的感觉，等等。)”可知，学习几何（也就是获得次级知识）要求初级技能，比如说视觉识别、注意力、空间感、时间感、层次序列感。也就是说，初级技能的那些东西是在为学习次级知识打基础。故选B。 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。 It is no secret that social media is harmful to everyone for many reasons: from general internet safety, to causing insecurities or becoming a major distraction. ____16____ Social media can have a large impact on people’s perspectives, opinions and the way they view the world — especially teenagers. In recent years, social media creators have done a really effective job of creating algorithms (算法) that can keep track of what you engage with, and provide more content based on your preferences and interests. ____17____ Exposure to only one perspective in the long run can lead to what are called echo chambers, or situations in which one’s beliefs are constantly supported by the people around them, rather than hearing other opinions. ____18____ By only being exposed to people who agree with you, you are prevented from considering other perspectives, which perpetuates (使持续) close-minded attitudes. Since social media users are used to seeing content they agree with, the first opinion that they see on a new issue is the one they are most likely to agree with, despite not hearing opposing thoughts. ____19____ Recently, the term “chronically online takes” has resurfaced on social media. This concept refers to opinions that only seem to exist online, and lack the support of real world experience. ____20____ In fact, chronically online takes are problematic themselves, successfully weakening actual issues that should be called out. A. This fails to show respect for your privacy. B. This ensures that you continue using social media. C. Usually, it takes the form of calling things problematic. D. However, the negatives of social media go even deeper than that. E. The key issue is that people are content with being told what to think. F. The problem with echo chambers is that they discourage critical thinking. G. Echo chambers increase social media users’ impatience and kills their creativity. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了社交媒体妨碍批判性思维。 【16题详解】 根据前文“It is no secret that social media is harmful to everyone for many reasons: from general internet safety, to causing insecurities or becoming a major distraction.(众所周知，社交媒体对每个人都有害，原因有很多：从一般的互联网安全，到造成不安全感或成为主要的分心因素)”以及后文“Social media can have a large impact on people’s perspectives, opinions and the way they view the world — especially teenagers.(社交媒体对人们的观点、看法以及他们看待世界的方式有着巨大影响，尤其是对青少年而言)”可知，前文讲述社交媒体的坏处，后面进一步讲述坏处，所以D项“However, the negatives of social media go even deeper than that.(然而，社交媒体的负面影响远不止于此)”和前文构成转折关系，并引出后文，符合文意。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“In recent years, social media creators have done a really effective job of creating algorithms (算法) that can keep track of what you engage with, and provide more content based on your preferences and interests.(近年来，社交媒体创建者在创建算法方面做了非常有效的工作，这些算法可以跟踪你参与的内容，并根据你的偏好和兴趣提供更多内容)”可知，B项“This ensures that you continue using social media.(这可以确保你继续使用社交媒体)”是讲述前文内容的结果，符合文意。故选B项。 【18题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“By only being exposed to people who agree with you, you are prevented from considering other perspectives, which perpetuates (使持续) close-minded attitudes.(只接触与你意见一致的人，你就无法考虑其他观点，从而使思想封闭的态度永久化)”以及上文内容“Exposure to only one perspective in the long run can lead to what are called echo chambers, or situations in which one’s beliefs are constantly supported by the people around them, rather than hearing other opinions.(长期只接触一种观点会导致所谓的回音室，或者一个人的信仰不断得到周围人的支持，而不是听到其他观点的情况)”可知，F项“The problem with echo chambers is that they discourage critical thinking.(回音室的问题在于它阻碍了批判性思维)”承接上文，后文是对本句的解释，符合文意。故选F项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Since social media users are used to seeing content they agree with, the first opinion that they see on a new issue is the one they are most likely to agree with, despite not hearing opposing thoughts.(由于社交媒体用户习惯于看到他们同意的内容，他们在新问题上看到的第一个观点就是他们最有可能同意的观点，尽管他们没有听到相反的观点)”可知，E项“The key issue is that people are content with being told what to think.(关键问题是，人们满足于被告知该怎么想)”是对前文的总结，讲述人们没有听到相反的观点，但是很满足。故选E项。 【20题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“In fact, chronically online takes are problematic themselves, successfully weakening actual issues that should be called out.(事实上，那些经常上网发表的观点本身就有问题，它们成功地弱化了那些本应被指出的实际问题)”可知，C项“Usually, it takes the form of calling things problematic.(通常，这种做法表现为将事物称为“有问题”)”符合本段主题，讲述网上发表的观点有问题。故选C项。 第三部分语言运用（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, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Lately, I’ve been finding myself paying closer attention to fashion trends.

For instance, many people sent New Year’s ____37____ (greet) to their relatives through social media rather than visiting them in person and instead went to cinemas or played online games for fun ____38____ preference to going to dinner parties or playing mahjong with their old pals. ____39____ reduced number of Spring Festival travelers this year increased this concern. The logic is simple: the smaller the number of homegoers, the ____40____ (light) the feel of nianwei. One fact, ____41____, contradicts that concern. Since the beginning of the Chunyun period, many netizens have posted pictures on social media showing the food their parents or other relatives ____42____ (send) them. Some parents were so careful they cut the material into small pieces and shipped them along with ginger, spring onion and washed coriander as well as specific recipes for their children ____43____ (cook) a New Year’s Eve meal. I also received several boxes of hometown specialties from my brother, sister, niece, and an old classmate in Hubei Province. The specialties include “fish cake”, ciba and wild lotus root, ____44____ (awaken) my nostalgia (思念) for the place _____45_____ I grew up, as well as a strong sense of missing loved ones back in my old hometown. So long as that feeling does not wane, never would nianwei. 【答案】36. seen 37. greetings 38. in 39. The 40. lighter 41. however 42. had sent 43. to cook 44. awakening 45. where 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国新年，看似新年年味在逐渐减少，但实际上新年在网民的眼中依然很重要。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：近年来，由于人们庆祝春节的方式发生了变化，有很多人抱怨“年味正在减弱”。此处需要非谓语动词作定语，修饰名词change，change与see是被动关系，先于谓语动词发生，因此需要使用非谓语动词的过去分词形式。故填seen。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：例如，许多人通过社交媒体向亲戚致以新年祝福，而不是亲自拜访他们，而是去电影院或玩网络游戏，而不是和老朋友一起参加晚宴或打麻将。此处需要使用名词作sent的宾语，“greet”名词形式为“greeting”是可数名词，此处指“发送新年祝福”需使用复数形式。故填greetings。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：例如，许多人通过社交媒体向亲戚致以新年祝福，而不是亲自拜访他们，而是去电影院或玩网络游戏，而不是和老朋友一起参加晚宴或打麻将。此处需要使用介词in与名词preference搭配，构成固定短语“in preference to”意为“宁愿……”。故填in。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：今年春运人数的减少增加了这种担忧。此处需要冠词the置于reduced number之前，表“特指”的“今年下降的的春运人数”，单词位于句首，首字母大写。故填The。 【40题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：逻辑很简单：回家的人越少，思念的感觉就越淡。此处需要形容词比较级，与the smaller构成固定结构“the +比较级，the +比较级”，意为“越…….，越……”，“light”比较级为“lighter”。故填lighter。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，有一个事实与这种担忧相矛盾。此处需要使用副词，根据“one fact”及“contradicts that concern.”可知，此处副词表达转折含义。故填however。 【42题详解】 考查过去完成时。句意：自春运开始以来，许多网友在社交媒体上发布了父母或其他亲戚送给他们的食物的照片。此处需要动词作谓语，句中“their parents or other relatives ____7___ them.”为定语从句，修饰先行词the food，这些food是父母在之前发送给他们的，即先于have posted发生，因此需使用过去完成时。故填had sent。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一些父母非常小心，他们把这些材料切成小块，连同姜、葱、洗净的香菜以及给孩子们做年夜饭的具体食谱一起运来。此处需要使用非谓语动词作目的状语，cook的逻辑主语their children与cook是主动关系吗，晚于句中谓语cut及shipped表示目的，因此需要使用非谓语动词的不定式主动形式。故填to cook。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这里的特色菜有“鱼饼”、糍粑和野莲藕，唤起了我对家乡的怀念，也唤起了我对故乡亲人的强烈思念。此处需要使用非谓语动词作状语，主语The specialties与非谓语之间是主动关系，且与谓语include同时发生，因此需要使用非谓语动词的现在分词形式。故填awakening。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这里的特色菜有“鱼饼”、糍粑和野莲藕，唤起了我对家乡的怀念，也唤起了我对故乡亲人的强烈思念。此处需要使用关系词引导定语从句，先行词为place，先行词在从句中作地点状语，因此需要使用关系副词where。故填where。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你发现外教Sam每次在学生活动室和同学们办完派对后，都未能及时组织打扫活动室卫生，作为学生会主席，请写一封信提醒Sam。内容包括： 1. 陈述事实； 2. 提出建议。 注意: 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Sam, I’m Li Hua, the President of the Students’ Union.

After the last class of the day, I walked across the campus with my close classmate, Tom. As we neared a quiet corner beside the old library, a series of faint meowing sounds (猫叫声) pierced the stillness. Our curiosity piqued, we exchanged a glance and immediately traced the source of the noise. Behind a messy stack of old boxes, we discovered a minuscule, emaciated cat. Its once-soft fur was now caked with dirt, and its small body trembled ever so slightly, a clear indication that it had suffered from days of hunger and cold. A profound sense of pity welled up within us. Tom bent down slowly, his hand extended gently, his voice soft as he tried to lead the frightened animal out. At first, the cat was frightened, its wide-eyed gaze fixed on us in fear. But gradually, after a few moments of cautious sniffing (嗅), it timidly stepped out from its hiding spot. We knew we couldn’t abandon this helpless creature. Tom proposed taking it to the school infirmary (医务室), believing the school doctor might be able to assess its condition. I nodded in instant agreement, yet a tinge of worry crept in as we pondered how the school authorities would respond to us bringing a cat into the infirmary. Just at that moment, Lily, a classmate with a kind heart and a skill of animal care, happened to pass by. The moment she laid eyes on the pitiful cat in our arms, her expression softened. She informed us that she had experience in dealing with stray (走失的) animals and eagerly offered her assistance. With Lily on board, our determination to save the cat grew tenfold. We held the cat gently and made our way towards the infirmary, filled with hope and a touch of nervousness. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. However, after listening to our earnest plea and the cat’s tragic situation, her expression softened. She quickly got to work, conducting a thorough examination. She told us the cat was severely malnourished and had a respiratory infection. While treating the cat, she patiently explained to us the care it needed. We listened intently, absorbing every word, grateful for her expertise. With the doctor’s professional treatment, the cat’s breathing gradually became more stable, and we felt a glimmer of hope. Paragraph 2: Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. We divided the tasks among us. I was in charge of bringing fresh food and water every morning, Tom cleaned the cat’s temporary shelter, and Lily monitored its health closely. As the days passed, the cat’s condition improved remarkably. Its fur became smoother, and its eyes sparkled with newfound vitality. It even started to play with a small ball we brought for it. This experience not only saved a life but also strengthened the bond between us classmates. We realized that with unity and compassion, we could make a difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和同学们如何发现并救助一只流浪小猫的过程，以及这一经历给他们带来的感悟和成长。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“到达医务室后，校医用惊讶的眼神迎接了我们。”以及第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，我们轮流照顾这只小猫。”可知，第一段可描写了解了情况后，校医救治了小猫。 ②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，我们轮流照顾这只小猫。”可知，第二段可描写作者和同学们轮流照顾小猫，并深有感触。 2.续写线索：校医非常惊讶地看着小猫——了解了情况后， 校医立刻开始检查猫的健康状况——校医发现小猫营养不良，并告知了作者如何照顾小猫——于是，作者和同学们开始轮流照顾小猫——他们分工明确，密切关注小猫的情况——随着时间的推移，小猫的情况越来越好，而作者和同学们之间的情谊也日益密切 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/make an explanation ②负责：be in charge of/take charge of ③提高：improve/enhance 情绪类 ①专心地：intently/closely/attentively ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】She told us the cat was severely malnourished and had a respiratory infection.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】As the days passed, the cat’s condition improved remarkably.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二下学期3月考试英语试卷 试卷满分150分,考试时间120分钟 第一部分听力（共两节,满分30分） 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话,每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三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。 1.

B Staff at the Thai Dynasty restaurant in Singapore never thought they’d receive such a huge tip during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), when economic condition seemed hard, let alone one as big as $600. But believe it or not, they did. What was more surprising, however, was the person who left that massive tip for them. It wasn’t from a customer who was feeling extra generous that day. No, it was Jesse, a food delivery rider who came by to pick up an online order. Being a familiar face among the staff due to frequent orders from the restaurant, the delivery rider wanted to show his best appreciation for their hard work in ensuring orders are prepared on time every time he comes by to pick something up. Along with the tip, he also left a heartfelt written note. “Hello! I am writing to you all because I am very happy with your food and friendly customer service,” the note starts. “I want to say that your food is really delicious. You know, every day when I’m working, I see you all working so hard, which makes me feel proud of you all. Working is not easy, and I understand that because I am also working. Therefore, I want to thank you all for the good food and I want to help you all. Here inside is $600, for all of you. Share it among yourselves. Thank you once again!” Speaking to Shin Min Daily Thai Dynasty director Jason Pay said he never expected such a thing from a delivery rider, despite Jesse being a familiar face. “Employees are allowed to keep the tips for their good service, but they chose to return it, which I’m touched by,” Pay said. Yes, they managed to return the super generous tip when Jesse swung by a few hours later to pick up another order. But seeing the hard work that the delivery rider highlighted in his staff, Pay decided to reward them the next day with pizza and other dishes for lunch. 4. What does the underlined word “It” in the second paragraph refer to? A. The tip. B. An note. C. A stranger. D. An order. 5. What impressed Jesse most about the restaurant? A. The delicious food. B. The familiar faces. C. The generous customers. D. The positive working attitude. 6. What did the staff do to show their appreciation? A They told the story to the newspaper. B. They gave back the tip to the delivery rider. C. They helped the delivery rider get more orders. D. They treated the rider with delicious pizza and other dishes. 7. Which saying can describe the text best? A. Experience must be bought. B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C. A hero is known in the time of misfortune. D. Everyone’s love will make the world a better place. C In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal (共有的) living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said. The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 15th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo. Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka — migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defending. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical (对称的), and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark-tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict. Communal living is integrity to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO. 8. What do we know about tulou? A. Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status. B. Among 23,000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally. C. Tulou is the most outstanding Chinese human settlement. D. They’re exceptional buildings of tradition and function. 9. What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict? A. Enough food. B. Escape tunnels. C. Small windows. D. Defensive weapons. 10. What is probably the author’s attitude to the protection of tulou? A. Unconcerned. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Tulou: Given the World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008 B. Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending C. Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings D. Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environments D The distinction between biologically primary and biologically secondary knowledge described by Geary is an instructionally important categorisation method. Biologically primary knowledge is knowledge we, as a species, have specifically evolved to acquire over generations. Primary skills, such as learning general problem solving strategies, recognising faces, communication through listening and speaking a native language, and social relations including our ability to communicate with each other, are modular, with each skill likely to have evolved during different evolutionary periods. We can acquire primary knowledge, easily, unconsciously, and without concrete instruction merely by membership in a group. The ability to acquire vast aspects of the culture we grow up in is biologically primary. Nevertheless, in most cultures, there are many concepts and procedures that we have not specifically evolved to acquire such as reading, doing mathematics, working with a computer, or searching the internet. Those biologically secondary skills are acquired consciously, often requiring considerable effort. Unlike primary knowledge and skills, obvious instruction is important when dealing with secondary knowledge and skills, or this knowledge acquisition will be severely compromised. Unlike the generic-cognitive (通用认知的) skills that tend to be biologically primary, biologically secondary skills tend to be field-specific. Examples of biologically secondary skills include almost everything that is taught in education and training institutions. The distinction between primary, generic-cognitive knowledge and secondary, field-specific knowledge explains why information tends to be acquired differently outside as opposed to inside educational contexts. We use primary knowledge to facilitate acquiring secondary knowledge. For example, to learn geometry in a traditional class or using computer-supported material requires primary skills such as visual recognition, attention, and senses about space, time and sequence, to name a few. In this way, the theoretical machinery of evolutionary educational psychology can be used to suggest that the primary, generic-cognitive knowledge associated with cooperative learning may, under some circumstances, improve the acquisition of the biologically secondary, field-specific knowledge that is taught. 12. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean? A. Consisting of separate parts. B. Looking like a piece of cake. C. Witnessing constant changes. D. Serving as long-term abilities. 13. What is the feature of primary skills? A. They aims to solve rare problems. B. They are acquired when one is born. C. They require no formal teaching. D. They are the product of observation. 14. Which writing way does the text skip when leading secondary skills? A. Posing contrasts. B. Quoting figures. C. Giving definitions. D. Showing examples. 15. How do primary skills help secondary knowledge acquisition? A. By finding their similarities. B. By laying a solid foundation. C. By bettering learners’ focus. D. By offering a familiar setting. 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。 It is no secret that social media is harmful to everyone for many reasons: from general internet safety, to causing insecurities or becoming a major distraction. ____16____ Social media can have a large impact on people’s perspectives, opinions and the way they view the world — especially teenagers. In recent years, social media creators have done a really effective job of creating algorithms (算法) that can keep track of what you engage with, and provide more content based on your preferences and interests. ____17____ Exposure to only one perspective in the long run can lead to what are called echo chambers, or situations in which one’s beliefs are constantly supported by the people around them, rather than hearing other opinions. ____18____ By only being exposed to people who agree with you, you are prevented from considering other perspectives, which perpetuates (使持续) close-minded attitudes. Since social media users are used to seeing content they agree with, the first opinion that they see on a new issue is the one they are most likely to agree with, despite not hearing opposing thoughts. ____19____ Recently, the term “chronically online takes” has resurfaced on social media. This concept refers to opinions that only seem to exist online, and lack the support of real world experience. ____20____ In fact, chronically online takes are problematic themselves, successfully weakening actual issues that should be called out. A. This fails to show respect for your privacy. B. This ensures that you continue using social media. C. Usually, it takes the form of calling things problematic. D. However, the negatives of social media go even deeper than that. E. The key issue is that people are content with being told what to think. F. The problem with echo chambers is that they discourage critical thinking. G. Echo chambers increase social media users’ impatience and kills their creativity. 第三部分语言运用（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, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Lately, I’ve been finding myself paying closer attention to fashion trends.

After the last class of the day, I walked across the campus with my close classmate, Tom. As we neared a quiet corner beside the old library, a series of faint meowing sounds (猫叫声) pierced the stillness. Our curiosity piqued, we exchanged a glance and immediately traced the source of the noise. Behind a messy stack of old boxes, we discovered a minuscule, emaciated cat. Its once-soft fur was now caked with dirt, and its small body trembled ever so slightly, a clear indication that it had suffered from days of hunger and cold. A profound sense of pity welled up within us. Tom bent down slowly, his hand extended gently, his voice soft as he tried to lead the frightened animal out. At first, the cat was frightened, its wide-eyed gaze fixed on us in fear. But gradually, after a few moments of cautious sniffing (嗅), it timidly stepped out from its hiding spot. We knew we couldn’t abandon this helpless creature. Tom proposed taking it to the school infirmary (医务室), believing the school doctor might be able to assess its condition. I nodded in instant agreement, yet a tinge of worry crept in as we pondered how the school authorities would respond to us bringing a cat into the infirmary. Just at that moment, Lily, a classmate with a kind heart and a skill of animal care, happened to pass by. The moment she laid eyes on the pitiful cat in our arms, her expression softened. She informed us that she had experience in dealing with stray (走失的) animals and eagerly offered her assistance. With Lily on board, our determination to save the cat grew tenfold. We held the cat gently and made our way towards the infirmary, filled with hope and a touch of nervousness. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
