So whether you’re starting your family’s Fourth of July traditions or just looking for a new place to see great fireworks this Independence Day, check out our list of top places to catch magnificent fireworks displays. Bristol, Rhode Island Bristol is credited with having the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country, with a 230-year history of patriotic festivities. The town’s first Independence Day celebration was held in the early 1800s, more than two centuries ago. The celebration features a concert series at Independence Park, a performance from the Drum Corps, a carnival and parade, and of course, a beautiful fireworks show over the Bristol Harbor. New York City, New York Macy’s annual show is the nation’s largest fireworks display with more than 40,000 fireworks and a 38-year record of extraordinary entertainment.

The town’s first Independence Day celebration was held in the early 1800s, more than two centuries ago.(布里斯托尔被认为是这个国家最古老的7月4日庆祝活动，有230年的爱国庆祝历史。小镇的第一次独立日庆祝活动是在19世纪初，也就是两个多世纪前举行的)”可知，布里斯托尔庆祝独立日的时间最长。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This fireworks show has become an American tradition, and even those who can’t make the trip out to New York City can tune into NBC at 8 p.m., July 4.(这个烟花表演已经成为美国的传统，即使是那些不能去纽约的人也可以在7月4日晚上8点在NBC上收看)”可知，纽约梅西百货的年度秀可以在电视上看到。故选C。 B Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end. The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed proper. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down. Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location (位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.” Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were given up because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located. The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed. 24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special? A. It made room for new equipment. B. It signaled the closedown of the theater. C. It was done with the help of the audience. D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater. 25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on? A. It was an all-time classic. B. It was about the history of the town. C. The audience requested it. D. The theater owner found it suitable. 26. What will probably happen to the building? A. It will be repaired. B. It will be turned into a museum. C. It will be knocked down. D. It will be sold to the city government. 27. What can we infer about the audience? A. They are disappointed with Bradford. B. They are sad to say goodbye to the old theater. C. They are supportive of the city officials. D. They are keen to have a shopping center. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一家具有75年历史的剧院因为不利的地理位置和现代剧院的竞争，而面临着不得不关门，转手出售的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段第三、四句可知，这次散场后的清理工作与之前不同的是工人不仅清理走垃圾，而且还挪走了座椅和其他剧院的设备，为了剧院的转卖和拆迁。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，剧院老板选择这部电影是因为这部电影本身讲述的就是小镇上唯一的电影院准备关门停业的故事，恰好能反映出the Plaza Theater的现状。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段末句“which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.”可以推断这个剧院将被拆除，取而代之的是一个现代的购物中心。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building.”可知，人们非常难过，不愿意看到老剧院被拆掉。故选B。 C Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail. Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which breaks that limitation. It enables machines to sense objects as a human fingertip does. Engineers have been working hard to make robots flexible and sensitive. When researchers from a university began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009, they used human skin as a guide. Their first fingertip was about the size of a coke can. By 2018, 3D printing made it about the size of an adult's big toe, with the multi-layered structure like human skin. The latest breakthrough is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip, which enables a robot to quickly process what it's sensing and act accordingly like a real finger. “A lot of our sense of touch is decided by our skin,” says professor Benjamin, leader of the research team. In our fingertips, nerve endings will deform when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain about what's happening. Similarly, the nerve networks of TacTip pick up and translate those signals into the fingertip's actions, telling robots to handle objects of all shapes and sizes without programming, according to Benjamin. Some scientists doubt whether TacTip is only just skin-like. The signals from the artificial and human fingertips are not quite the same, as the signals in real skin are more intense. Other scientists think highly of this breakthrough. “At least it helps clarify how human touch works and is a necessary step to improve robotic touch,”says professor Smith, a material scientist. 28. Why does the writer mention“an egg”in Paragraph 1? A. To find a solution for engineers. B. To show robots have limitations. C. To tell how robots sense objects. D. To explain why robots often fail. 29. Which of the following plays the most important role in the latest breakthrough? A. Artificial nerve networks. B. 3D printing. C. Multi-layered structure. D. Human skin. 30. What does the underlined word“deform” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Develop. B. Stop working. C. Decrease. D. Change shapes. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. TacTip Changes How Touch Works in Humans B. Robots Have Become More Flexible and Sensitive C. Artificial Fingertip Gives Robots Human-like Touch D. Engineers Have Achieved a Breakthrough in 3D Printing 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人工指尖给机器人带来了人类般的触感。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail. Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip which breaks that limitation. (机器人可以编程来移动汽车，甚至执行一些操作。然而，当要捡起他们以前从未碰过的东西时，比如鸡蛋，他们往往会失败。现在，工程师们发明了一种人工指尖，打破了这一限制。)”可知，作者举例鸡蛋的目的就是为了说明机器人的一些局限。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“The latest breakthrough is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip, which enables a robot to quickly process what it's sensing and react accordingly like a real finger.(最新的突破被称为TacTip。科学家将人工神经网络植入指尖，使机器人能够快速处理感测到的信息，并像真正的手指一样做出相应反应。)”可知，最新的突破是将人工神经网络植入指尖。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第四段“when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain about what's happening. (当皮肤接触到一个物体，然后向大脑发送关于发生了什么的信号。)”可知，当我们皮肤一接触物体，就会有信号传到大脑，而这时，应该是我们指尖的神经末梢发生了“变形”，才会产生信号。所以猜测deform是“发生改变”的意思。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail. Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which breaks that limitation. It enables machines to sense objects as a human fingertip does.(机器人可以编程来移动汽车，甚至执行一些操作。然而，当要捡起他们以前从未碰过的东西时，比如鸡蛋，他们往往会失败。现在，工程师们发明了一种人工指尖，打破了这一限制。它使机器能够像人类的指尖一样感知物体。)”以及结合下文可知，文章主要讲科学家通过研究发明，使机器人更具有像人类一样的感知。所以C项Robots Have Become More Flexible and Sensitive(人工指尖给机器人带来了人类般的触感)为短文最佳标题。故选C项。 D Feeling bad after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an informal name: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, describes PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This experience can be found in TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more. The idea of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, especially during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the name PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic (怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor told her to use PSD because its widely used outside of research. Kottasz and her co-workers published a research dividing the types of PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things ended. Common emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”. While PSD is often connected to TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the sudden break of K-pop band BTS (防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more influenced than older ones, partially because companies like Netflix are always giving viewers new movies and shows. What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters (人物). In her 2019 paper, she said a Harry Potter fan who started reading the series at age 9 and was "sadly left behind’ after the final book and film published years later. But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotion. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply (暗示) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it. 32 Which of the following is a common response among fans experiencing PSD? A. A fresh sense of purpose for life. B. A deep satisfaction after the show. C. A great sense of loss of best friends. D. A strong desire for a new hobby. 33. What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night. B. Watching many episodes (集) of a TV show at one time. C. Following the episodes of a TV show for a long time. D. Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation (改編版). 34. What doe Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph? A. PSD covers up a deeper mental problem. B. Viewers with bad feelings like drinking alcohol. C. Watching TV is the main cause of low moods. D. Watching TV series can make mental problems worse. 35. What might the following paragraphs focus on? A. The solutions to post-series depression. B. The marketing (营销) strategies of TV shows. C. The difference between PSD and nostalgia. D. The influence of social media on fan emotions. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“剧终抑郁(PSD)”这一常见现象，包括其定义、名称的由来、相关研究对其类型的划分、影响人群、可能的影响因素，以及心理学家对其成因的不同观点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost ‘best friends’.(一些粉丝甚至觉得生活变得不完整了，或者感觉失去了‘最好的朋友’)”可知，经历剧终抑郁的粉丝常见的反应之一是有失去最好朋友般的强烈失落感。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第五段中“What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor.(让很多人惊讶的是， binge-watching似乎并不会导致剧终抑郁。相反，长期观看可能是一个因素)”可知，binge-watching与“长期观看”是不同的观看方式，结合常识可推测其意为“一次性观看多集电视剧”。 故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply ( 暗示 ) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.(芝加哥心理学家布莱恩・孔担心，剧集结束后低落情绪（PSD）或许无法说明低落情绪与剧集完结之间存在因果关系。他表示，相反，当观众正经历持续的不良情绪时，看电视可能只是在为某个更深层的心理问题充当 “麻醉剂”—— 就像有些焦虑症患者会借酒消愁一样。换句话说，低落情绪早已存在，观看电视剧只是将其掩盖了而已)”可知，PSD可能掩盖了更深层次的心理问题，看电视只是起到一种麻醉作用，而负面情绪原本就存在。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply ( 暗示 ) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol.

Here are some principles you must master. People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the “speaking. ” ___37___ Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection. Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.___38___ Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.___39___And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis. ___40___It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end. A. Do the opposite. B. You want to be an effective public speaker. C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip. D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more. E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了成为好的演讲者需要掌握的一些原则。 【36题详解】 本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项:然而，大多数人之所以能成为有影响的演讲者，是因为他们受过训练。与上句转折，引出本文主题--演讲者要训练。故选G。 【37题详解】 下句Focus on the speaking.是本段主题，建议演讲者把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象，当站起来发表演讲时，演讲者往往会把注意力放在”公众”上，而不是”演讲”上。这是错误的做法，A项Do the opposite.承上启下，说明了上句做法的错误，引出了下句正确的做法。故选A。 【38题详解】 本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误，观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演讲，除非是非常严重的错误。C项:你不需要为一个小失误道歉。与上句承接，是对待演讲出错的方法。故选C。 【39题详解】 本段是说明练习的重要性。上句提到你的目标不是成为一个完美的演说家，下句应该说明目标是什么。B. You want to be an effective public speaker.与上句衔接，是我们演讲的真正目的。故选B。 【40题详解】 下文提到观众并不是认为演讲越长越好，根据 Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.可知，作者建议让演讲比预期的短一点，给观众更多的期待胜过让他们坐立不安地等待演讲结束。D项:公开演讲时，通常少就是多。说明了演讲时，多和少的辩证关系。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Grandma is ninety this Christmas.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Here’s Why Planning a Trip Can Help Your Mental Health There’s some good news for globe-trotters (环球旅行者): According to researchers, looking ahead to your next adventure could benefit your mental health, even if you’re not sure when that adventure will be. Some psychologists believe in the mental benefits of vacationing somewhere new. For example, travel can enhance empathy, attention, energy, and focus. Other research suggests that the act of adapting to foreign cultures may also facilitate creativity. But what about the act of planning a trip? Can we get a mental health boost from travel before we even leave home? Planning and anticipating a trip can be almost as enjoyable as going on the trip itself, and there’s research to back it up. A 2014 Cornell University study delved (探索、探究) into how the anticipation of an experience (like a trip) can increase a person’s happiness substantially — much more so than the anticipation of buying material goods. An earlier study, published by the University of Surrey in 2002, found that people are at their happiest when they have a vacation planned. Matthew Killingsworth, now a senior fellow at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says trip-planning encourages an optimistic outlook. “As humans, we spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future,” says Killingsworth, whose work centers on understanding the nature and causes of human happiness. “Our future-mindedness can be a source of joy if we know good things are coming, and travel is an especially good thing to have to look forward to.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Planning a trip can improve our mental health. Besides the various benefits of travel, the mere act of planning a trip is also good for us. The planning process is enjoyable and increases happiness, which is supported by several studies. Matthew Killingsworth at the University of Pennsylvania points out that trip planning also encourages a positive perspective on the future.

B Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end. The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed proper. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down. Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location (位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.” Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were given up because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located. The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed. 24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special? A. It made room for new equipment. B. It signaled the closedown of the theater. C. It was done with the help of the audience. D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater. 25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on? A. It was an all-time classic. B. It was about the history of the town. C. The audience requested it. D. The theater owner found it suitable. 26. What will probably happen to the building? A. It will be repaired. B. It will be turned into a museum. C. It will be knocked down. D. It will be sold to the city government. 27. What can we infer about the audience? A. They are disappointed with Bradford. B. They are sad to say goodbye to the old theater. C. They are supportive of the city officials. D. They are keen to have a shopping center. C Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail. Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which breaks that limitation. It enables machines to sense objects as a human fingertip does. Engineers have been working hard to make robots flexible and sensitive. When researchers from a university began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009, they used human skin as a guide. Their first fingertip was about the size of a coke can. By 2018, 3D printing made it about the size of an adult's big toe, with the multi-layered structure like human skin. The latest breakthrough is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip, which enables a robot to quickly process what it's sensing and act accordingly like a real finger. “A lot of our sense of touch is decided by our skin,” says professor Benjamin, leader of the research team. In our fingertips, nerve endings will deform when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain about what's happening. Similarly, the nerve networks of TacTip pick up and translate those signals into the fingertip's actions, telling robots to handle objects of all shapes and sizes without programming, according to Benjamin. Some scientists doubt whether TacTip is only just skin-like. The signals from the artificial and human fingertips are not quite the same, as the signals in real skin are more intense. Other scientists think highly of this breakthrough. “At least it helps clarify how human touch works and is a necessary step to improve robotic touch,”says professor Smith, a material scientist. 28. Why does the writer mention“an egg”in Paragraph 1? A. To find a solution for engineers. B. To show robots have limitations. C. To tell how robots sense objects. D. To explain why robots often fail. 29. Which of the following plays the most important role in the latest breakthrough? A. Artificial nerve networks. B. 3D printing. C. Multi-layered structure. D. Human skin. 30. What does the underlined word“deform” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Develop. B. Stop working. C. Decrease. D. Change shapes. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. TacTip Changes How Touch Works in Humans B. Robots Have Become More Flexible and Sensitive C. Artificial Fingertip Gives Robots Human-like Touch D. Engineers Have Achieved a Breakthrough in 3D Printing D Feeling bad after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an informal name: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, describes PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This experience can be found in TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more. The idea of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, especially during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the name PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic (怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor told her to use PSD because its widely used outside of research. Kottasz and her co-workers published a research dividing the types of PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things ended. Common emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”. While PSD is often connected to TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the sudden break of K-pop band BTS (防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more influenced than older ones, partially because companies like Netflix are always giving viewers new movies and shows. What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters (人物). In her 2019 paper, she said a Harry Potter fan who started reading the series at age 9 and was "sadly left behind’ after the final book and film published years later. But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotion. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply (暗示) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it. 32. Which of the following is a common response among fans experiencing PSD? A. A fresh sense of purpose for life. B. A deep satisfaction after the show. C A great sense of loss of best friends. D. A strong desire for a new hobby. 33. What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night. B. Watching many episodes (集) of a TV show at one time. C. Following the episodes of a TV show for a long time. D. Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation (改編版). 34. What doe Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph? A. PSD covers up a deeper mental problem. B. Viewers with bad feelings like drinking alcohol. C. Watching TV is the main cause of low moods. D. Watching TV series can make mental problems worse. 35. What might the following paragraphs focus on? A. The solutions to post-series depression. B. The marketing (营销) strategies of TV shows. C. The difference between PSD and nostalgia. D. The influence of social media on fan emotions. 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。 Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.___36___Do you want to be a good public speaker?

Here’s Why Planning a Trip Can Help Your Mental Health There’s some good news for globe-trotters (环球旅行者): According to researchers, looking ahead to your next adventure could benefit your mental health, even if you’re not sure when that adventure will be. Some psychologists believe in the mental benefits of vacationing somewhere new. For example, travel can enhance empathy, attention, energy, and focus. Other research suggests that the act of adapting to foreign cultures may also facilitate creativity. But what about the act of planning a trip? Can we get a mental health boost from travel before we even leave home? Planning and anticipating a trip can be almost as enjoyable as going on the trip itself, and there’s research to back it up. A 2014 Cornell University study delved (探索、探究) into how the anticipation of an experience (like a trip) can increase a person’s happiness substantially — much more so than the anticipation of buying material goods. An earlier study, published by the University of Surrey in 2002, found that people are at their happiest when they have a vacation planned. Matthew Killingsworth, now a senior fellow at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says trip-planning encourages an optimistic outlook. “As humans, we spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future,” says Killingsworth, whose work centers on understanding the nature and causes of human happiness. “Our future-mindedness can be a source of joy if we know good things are coming, and travel is an especially good thing to have to look forward to.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
