17. What was the passers-by’s attitude toward the speaker’s behavior?
A. Puzzled. B. Thankful. C. Supportive.
18. Why did the speaker decide to wash the cars?

B By working with the car owners.
C. By attracting strangers to join him.
20. What did the speaker get in the end?
A. A lot of money. B. A precious medal. C. The joy of helping others.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】M: I live in the center of the city where it rarely rains, so cars parked in open parking lots easily collect pollutants and dust. Together with my friends, I decided it should be a kind gesture to surprise the owners with a car wash. Every once in a while, someone would come by and ask us seemingly stupid men, “Who told you to wash the cars?” or, even better, “Who paid you to wash their cars?” We explained we just wanted to do something kind. But our response was often met with an even more confused look. As the afternoon went on, some other friends that came by understood our goal of the voluntary event and started helping out with some of the duties. I wasn’t cleaning cars for money. I was cleaning cars simply because I wanted to offer the car owners kindness. I now realize, first hand, that there is a special energy created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in service of others and maybe, like me, you’ll find it’s actually the greatest gift you’ll ever get.
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Trade Routes That Shaped World History
Trade routes linking places of production to places of commerce have popped up throughout ancient history. These roads also facilitated cultural exchanges. Here are several that changed the world.
The Silk Road
The Silk Road is the most famous ancient trade route, linking the major ancient civilizations of China and the Roman Empire. Silk was traded from China to the Roman Empire beginning in the 1st century BCE in exchange for wool, silver, and gold coming from Europe. In addition to fostering trade, the Silk Road also became a vital route for the spread of knowledge, technology, religion, and art.
The Spice Routes
Unlike most of the other trade routes, the Spice Routes were oceanic paths linking the East to the West. Pepper, cloves and cinnamon were all hugely sought-after goods in Europe. From the 15th century to the 17th century, navigation technology made sailing long distances from Europe possible. Europeans took to the seas to create direct trading relationships with Indonesia, China, and Japan. Spice trade fueled the development of faster ships.
The Amber (琥珀) Routes
Amber has been traded since about 3000 BCE, with amber beads from the Baltic Sea region having reached as far as Egypt. The Romans, who valued the amber for both decorative and medicinal purposes, developed the Amber Routes linking the Baltic states with the rest of Europe. Today, you can find traces of the old Amber Road in Poland, where one of the major routes is known as the Amber Highway.
The Tea Horse Road
This ancient route winds for more than 6,000 miles, through the Hengduan Mountains—a major tea-producing area in China — and on to Xizang and India. The main goods traveling the route were Chinese tea and Xizang’s warhorses. Parts of the route were used starting about 1600 BCE, but people began using the entire path from around the 7th century, and large-scale trade began taking place starting in the Song Dynasty.
21. When did the most known trade route start?
A. In about 3000 BCE. B. In about 1600 BCE.
C. In the 15th century. D. In the 1st century BCE.
22. What is special about the Spice Routes?
A. They were sea trade roads. B. They linked the East and West.
C. Their remains can be found today. D. They were the longest trade roads.
23. What do the ancient trade routes show?
A. They began from BCE.
B. They linked different continents.
C. They contributed a lot to the world’s trade and culture.
D. Goods traded through them came from ancient China.
【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四条改变了世界的著名商路。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Silk Road部分“The Silk Road is the most famous ancient trade route, linking the major ancient civilizations of China and the Roman Empire. Silk was traded from China to the Roman Empire beginning in the 1st century BCE in exchange for wool, silver, and gold coming from Europe.(丝绸之路是最著名的古代贸易路线,连接了中国和罗马帝国的主要古代文明。从公元前1世纪开始,丝绸就从中国运往罗马帝国,用来交换来自欧洲的羊毛、银和金)”可知,最著名的贸易路线开始于公元前1世纪。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Spice Routes部分“Unlike most of the other trade routes, the Spice Routes were oceanic paths linking the East to the West.(与大多数其他贸易路线不同,香料之路是连接东方和西方的海洋之路)”可知,香料之路是海上贸易之路。故选A。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Trade routes linking places of production to places of commerce have popped up throughout ancient history. These roads also facilitated cultural exchanges.(纵观古代历史,连接生产地点和商业地点的贸易路线层出不穷。这些道路也促进了文化交流)”可知,古代贸易路线显示了对世界贸易和文化做出了很大贡献。故选C。
B
Do you love fossils and dinosaurs? I’m lucky enough to be a fossil preparator (化石制备师), which means I work with fossils, like removing rocks from fossils and gluing fossils together to make sure they’re not broken. Sometimes, we have dinosaur bones that need to be arranged and put back into place.
I like the job from the bottom of my heart. When we make “jackets” — these are things that store the fossils — we have to accurately and scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils, which can be different shapes and artistic expression.
Since I was a kid, it’s been my dream to be a paleontologist (古生物学者). When I was 12, I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day. I got a chance to meet paleontologists. At the end, I asked, “Hey, can I volunteer?” And somehow, they let me, as long as a parent came with me. At 12 years old, I got to go to a fossil excavation (挖掘), and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.
Fossils are very old. We don’t always get all the pieces. We’re working with something that’s incomplete, sometimes. We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together. And as for the pieces we don’t know, we don’t try to make anything up. But sometimes, we have a gap in a specimen (标本) and it needs support. We’ll put some material in there that’s clearly not fossil, so when people go to study it, they know not to study that part.
People would wonder how I find other kids, especially girls, who shared my interests when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, in my friend group, I was the only dinosaur girl. My friends were interested in other things, but they were all super supportive of my love for fossils.
24. Why does the author like her job?
A. It is not a demanding job. B. It combines both art and science.
C. It is more artistic than scientific. D. It is about collecting dinosaur bones.
25. Why does the author mention her visit to her local museum?
A. To show her path to follow her dream. B. To prove her parents supporting her job.
C. To present the barrier of achieving her dream. D. To tell her easy access to achieving her dream.
26 How does the author deal with the incomplete fossils?
A. By burying them back in the ground. B. By breaking and reconstructing them.
C. By making them up with similar materials. D. By filling their gaps with distinct materials.
27. What kind of girl was the author when she was growing up?
A. Cautious. B. Understanding. C. Independent. D. Entertaining.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者以第一人称讲述了自己作为一名化石制备师的成长经历和工作内容,包括从小对古生物学的热爱、参加相关活动的经历、以及在工作中处理化石的过程。

推理判断题。根据第二段“I like the job from the bottom of my heart. When we make “jackets” — these are things that store the fossils — we have to accurately and scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils, which can be different shapes and artistic expression.(我打心底里喜欢这份工作。当我们制作“夹克衫”——这些东西是用来储存化石的——我们必须准确而科学地找出如何为特定的骨头或化石制作它们,它们可以是不同的形状和艺术表达)”可知,制作储存化石的装备时,必须准确而科学地找出如何为特定的骨头或化石制作它们,它们可以是不同的形状和艺术表达,所以是因为它结合了艺术和科学,所以作者喜欢她的工作。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Since I was a kid, it’s been my dream to be a paleontologist (古生物学者). When I was 12, I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day. I got a chance to meet paleontologists. At the end, I asked, “Hey, can I volunteer?” And somehow, they let me, as long as a parent came with me. At 12 years old, I got to go to a fossil excavation (挖掘), and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.(我从小就梦想成为一名古生物学家。当我12岁的时候,我参加了在休斯顿自然科学博物馆举办的恐龙日活动。我有机会见到古生物学家。最后,我问:“嘿,我可以做志愿者吗?”不管怎么说,他们允许我,只要有家长陪着我。12岁的时候,我去了一次化石挖掘,我第一次在实验室里和恐龙骨头和化石打交道)”可知,作者提到她参观了当地的博物馆,是为了展示她追寻梦想的道路。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“We’re working with something that’s incomplete, sometimes. We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together. And as for the pieces we don’t know, we don’t try to make anything up. But sometimes, we have a gap in a specimen (标本) and it needs support. We’ll put some material in there that’s clearly not fossil, so when people go to study it, they know not to study that part.(有时候,我们在研究一些不完整的东西。我们尽我们所能把我们知道的碎片拼凑在一起。至于我们不知道的部分,我们不会试图编造任何东西。但有时,我们在标本上有一个缺口,它需要支撑。我们会放一些显然不是化石的材料进去,所以当人们去研究它的时候,他们知道不要研究那部分)”可知,作者通过用不同的材料填补空隙来处理不完整的化石。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“At the end, I asked, ‘Hey, can I volunteer?’ And somehow, they let me, as long as a parent came with me.(最后,我问:‘嘿,我可以做志愿者吗?’不管怎么说,他们答应了我,只要有家长陪着我)”以及最后一段“As a matter of fact, in my friend group, I was the only dinosaur girl.(事实上,在我的朋友圈里,我是唯一一个喜欢恐龙的女孩)”可知,作者独自去博物馆参加活动,申请成为志愿者,在成长过程中是朋友圈里唯一一个喜欢恐龙的女孩,但是她却坚持自己的梦想成为一名化石制备者,推知她是特立独行的。故选C项。
C
Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in the American state of Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks with a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend passed away. And in New York State, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent.
The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by a US tech company. The company and other officials say it is a device using artificial intelligence (AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.
The device looks like a small table light and it has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user’s interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. On a video screen that comes with it, it will show different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health, and reminds users to take medicines and drink water. It can also support video calls and contact family, friends, or doctors in an emergency.
The company says none of the conversations are heard by them, with the information staying on each owner’s device. The average user interacts with ElliQ more than 30 times a day and more than 90 percent report lower levels of loneliness. They can be bought individually for a sum of money a year plus another sum of money to set it up. The company would not say how many ElliQs have been sent out so far, but the goal is to have more than 100,000 out within five years.
Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad studies the effects of loneliness on health. She told The Associated Press that the difficult feeling of loneliness should push people to seek social interaction. Julianne noted that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects yet it could make people less likely to seek human contact.
28. What is the main purpose of the company in launching ElliQ?
A. To improve the senior’s life quality. B. To offer medical care to the elderly.
C. To ensure harmony in the community. D. To make the aged exposed to AI devices
29 What can we learn about the device from paragraph 3?
A. It resembles humans in appearance. B. It offers medical advice to the user.
C. It acts as a reminder in daily routine. D. It provides access to tourist attractions.
30. What does Julianne think of ElliQ?
A. It can be a substitute for human contact.
B. It turns out an economic and practical device.
C. It may keep the elderly from connecting socially.
D. It has lowered the level of older people’s loneliness.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Seniors In The US Are Struggling With Loneliness.
B. Robot ElliQ Is Helping Seniors Fight With Loneliness.
C. Robot ElliQ Has Taken Charge Of Elderly Women’s Life.
D. AI Leaves More Seniors Losing Touch With Their Friends.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。美国一家科技公司推出了一款人工智能机器人来帮助老年人对抗孤独。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The company and other officials say it is a device using artificial intelligence (AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.(该公司和其他官员表示,这是一款使用人工智能(AI)帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独的设备)”可知,这家公司推出这款机器人的目的是帮助老年人对抗孤独,提升生活品质。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health, and reminds users to take medicines and drink water.(该设备引导运动,询问主人的健康状况,并提醒用户吃药和喝水)”可知,这个设备可以在用户的日常事务中起到提醒的作用。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Julianne noted that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects yet it could make people less likely to seek human contact.(朱莉安指出,像ElliQ这样的设备可能会有短期的帮助作用,但它可能会让人们不太愿意寻求人际交往)”可知,Julianne认为Eli Q可能会妨碍老年人进行社交联系。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by a US tech company. The company and other officials say it is a device using artificial intelligence (AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.(这些女性是美国第一批接受美国科技公司制造的机器人ElliQ的女性。该公司和其他官员表示,这是一款使用人工智能(AI)帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独的设备)”以及本文主要介绍了帮助老年人对抗孤独的人工智能机器人。B选项“机器人ElliQ正在帮助老年人对抗孤独”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
Do you sometimes worry so much that it disturbs your everyday activities? Or do you feel so blue that it completely clouds your outlook? Do you often experience these or similar feelings together? You’re not the only one. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), the anxiety disorder is the top-ranked mental health problem among US adults, affecting 27.3 percent of the population each year. More similarly, the mood disorder or depression is the leading trigger of many mental issues.
Although clearly not identical emotional states and symptoms (症状), mental health research suggests that anxiety and depression often coexist. The incidence of developing depression in addition to an anxiety disorder or vice versa is high. The core of the double disorder is “a cycle”, says Sally R. Connolly, a clinical therapist (治疗专家) from Louisville, Kentucky. “When you get anxious, you tend to have this pervasive thinking about some worry or some problem and you feel bad about it. Then you feel like you’ve failed, and you move to depression.” Similarly, she adds, “People who are depressed often feel anxious and worried, so one can trigger the other.”
“They can be caused by various factors. Genetic factors contribute to 40 percent of the predisposition to depressive and anxious symptoms, with 60 percent being attributed to environmental, also referred to as social factors,” explains Connolly. Environmental factors include experiences like trauma or neglect in early childhood, and current stressors such as relationship difficulties, unemployment, social isolation, and physical illness. Chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), low back pain, are closely linked to psychological distress as well, notes Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
No one has to suffer from anxiety disorder or depression, and certainly not both. People with such disorders should speak with a psychiatrist, a therapist, or other healthcare professionals about their symptoms as soon as possible. “It’s really crucial for people with both anxiety and depression to have a good assessment to rule out the bipolar (双相型障碍的) disorder,” she says. Effective treatment strategies have been available.
32. What does the underlined word “trigger” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Support. B. Target. C. Cause. D. Function.
33. What does paragraph 2 stress about anxiety and depression?
A. Their possible links. B. Their origins.
C. Their main symptoms. D. Their similarities.
34. How many causes of anxiety and depression are mentioned in the text?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
35. What will the text most probably talk about next?
A. More contributing factors. B. Harmful effects.
C. Some famous professionals. D. Specific therapies.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕焦虑症和抑郁症展开,介绍二者常并存的现象、成因,并提及已有有效治疗策略。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“More similarly, the mood disorder or depression is the leading trigger of many mental issues. (更相似的是,情绪障碍或抑郁症是许多精神问题的主要trigger。)”结合前文提到焦虑症是美国成年人中排名第一的心理健康问题,可推测这里说抑郁症是许多精神问题的主要“原因”,所以trigger应表示“原因”的意思,与C选项Cause(原因)意思一致。故选C项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Although clearly not identical emotional states and symptoms (症状), mental health research suggests that anxiety and depression often coexist. The incidence of developing depression in addition to an anxiety disorder or vice versa is high. The core of the double disorder is ‘a cycle’, says Sally R. Connolly, a clinical therapist (治疗专家) from Louisville, Kentucky. ‘When you get anxious, you tend to have this pervasive thinking about some worry or some problem and you feel bad about it. Then you feel like you’ve failed, and you move to depression.’ Similarly, she adds, ‘People who are depressed often feel anxious and worried, so one can trigger the other.’ (虽然焦虑和抑郁显然不是相同的情绪状态和症状,但心理健康研究表明,焦虑和抑郁常常同时存在。除了焦虑症之外患上抑郁症的几率很高,反之亦然。来自肯塔基州路易斯维尔的临床治疗师莎莉・R・康诺利说,这种双重障碍的核心是‘一个循环’。‘当你感到焦虑时,你往往会对某些担忧或问题产生这种普遍的想法,并且你会为此感到难过。然后你觉得自己失败了,接着就陷入了抑郁。’同样,她补充说,‘抑郁的人常常感到焦虑和担忧,所以两者可以相互引发。’)”可知,第二段强调的是焦虑和抑郁之间可能存在的联系。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“‘They can be caused by various factors. Genetic factors contribute to 40 percent of the predisposition to depressive and anxious symptoms, with 60 percent being attributed to environmental, also referred to as social factors,’ explains Connolly. Environmental factors include experiences like trauma or neglect in early childhood, and current stressors such as relationship difficulties, unemployment, social isolation, and physical illness. Chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), low back pain, are closely linked to psychological distress as well, notes Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. (康诺利解释说:‘它们可能由多种因素引起。遗传因素导致了 40% 的抑郁和焦虑症状的易感性,而 60% 归因于环境因素,也称为社会因素。’环境因素包括童年早期的创伤或忽视等经历,以及当前的压力源,如人际关系困难、失业、社会孤立和身体疾病。哈佛陈曾熙公共卫生学院指出,纤维肌痛、肠易激综合征(IBS)、腰痛等慢性疼痛也与心理困扰密切相关。)”可知,这里提到了遗传因素、环境因素(包括童年早期经历、当前压力源)以及慢性疼痛,共三种导致焦虑和抑郁的原因。故选B项。

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。
How to Get Along with Personalities
What should we respond to a question from a rude person? And how about those other challenging personalities we have to talk to, whether we want to or not? ____36____
The Complainer
The complainers often transform their frustration about something deeper to express about minor upsets. These are the persons who think life is unfair to them. ____37____ Get them to talk about what’s really bothering them. Challenge their negativity with questions about what’s good, fun and exciting in their lives.
The Contrarian (逆向思维者)
____38____ The most effective way to handle a contrarian is to say you agree with them. Try “I agree with you on that” about something small and specific, or “I can definitely see your point”. If you truly don’t agree on a single thing, then change the topic.
The Chatterbox
The chatterboxes desire connection. ____39____ Once the chatterbox has run out of things to say, their need to be heard has been met, and then it’s your turn. Jump in with something like, “I love your stories and I have one for you, too.” For once, the floor is yours.
The Tech Addict
Socially, few things are more annoying than someone repeatedly checking their phone in the middle of your conversation with them. Before you hurriedly show anger at the tech addicts’ rudeness, focus instead on building a better conversation than whatever is going down on the Internet. You might never be able to achieve this. You can ask them, “What’s on that thing that’s so attractive?” ____40____ If the answer is something real, talk about it.
A. This doesn’t mean you should lie.
B. Choose a topic and let them exhaust it.
C. This is someone who just likes to argue.
D. Listen to experts about how to deal with them.
E. Ask them questions, follow up and really listen.
F. Chances are that they’ll apologize and awkwardly put the device away.
G. If you want to interact better with these people, it starts with sympathy.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. C 39. B 40. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍与抱怨者、逆向思维者等难相处个性之人的相处之道,如倾听、认同、引导等应对方法。
【36题详解】
由上文“What should we respond to a question from a rude person? And how about those other challenging personalities we have to talk to, whether we want to or not?(我们应该如何回应一个粗鲁的人的问题呢?对于那些我们不管愿不愿意都得与之交谈的其他具有挑战性个性的人又该怎么办呢?)”可知,这里提出了面对不同难相处个性的人该如何应对的问题,空格处应承接上文引出下文的具体方法,而D项Listen to experts about how to deal with them.(听听专家关于如何应对他们的建议。)符合此处语境,其中them指代上文提到的具有不同难相处个性的人,有承上作用,同时引出下文的具体应对方法。故选D项。
【37题详解】
由上文“The complainers often transform their frustration about something deeper to express about minor upsets. These are the persons who think life is unfair to them.(抱怨者常常把他们对更深层次事情的沮丧情绪转化为对小烦恼的表达。这些人认为生活对他们不公平。)”可知,这里描述了抱怨者的特点,即内心有深层次沮丧且觉得生活不公。空格处应接着阐述与这类人相处的原则或方法,G项If you want to interact better with these people, it starts with sympathy.(如果你想更好地与这些人交流,那就从同情开始。) 符合此处语境,these people指代上文的抱怨者,提出与抱怨者更好交流要从同情出发,而下文“Get them to talk about what’s really bothering them. Challenge their negativity with questions about what’s good, fun and exciting in their lives.(让他们谈谈真正困扰他们的事情。用他们生活中美好、有趣和令人兴奋的事情来挑战他们的消极情绪。)”是对基于同情去与抱怨者交流的具体做法阐述,G项起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。
【38题详解】
由小标题“The Contrarian (逆向思维者)”可知,这一段是关于逆向思维者的内容,再结合后文“The most effective way to handle a contrarian is to say you agree with them.(对付逆向思维者最有效的方法是说你同意他们的观点。)”可知,空格处应先对逆向思维者进行描述,C项This is someone who just likes to argue.(这是一个喜欢争论的人。)符合此处语境,指出逆向思维者喜欢争论的特点,所以才需要用同意他们观点的方法来应对,有引出下文的作用。故选C项。
【39题详解】
由小标题“The Chatterbox”以及后文“Once the chatterbox has run out of things to say, their need to be heard has been met, and then it’s your turn.(一旦话匣子把要说的话说完了,他们被倾听的需求得到了满足,然后就轮到你了。)”可知,这一段是关于话痨的内容,空格处应说与话痨交流的方法,B项Choose a topic and let them exhaust it.(选择一个话题,让他们把这个话题说完。)符合此处语境,let them exhaust it与后文Once the chatterbox has run out of things to say相呼应,都是让话痨把想说的话说完。故选B项。
【40题详解】
由上文“Before you hurriedly show anger at the tech addicts’ rudeness, focus instead on building a better conversation than whatever is going down on the Internet. You might never be able to achieve this. You can ask them, ‘What’s on that thing that’s so attractive?’(在你匆忙对沉迷于科技产品的人的无礼表现出愤怒之前,专注于建立一个比互联网上正在发生的事情更好的对话。你可能永远无法做到这一点。你可以问他们,‘那东西上有什么这么吸引人?’)”可知,这里说的是面对沉迷科技产品的人时的做法,空格处应接着说问了这个问题之后可能出现的情况,F项Chances are that they’ll apologize and awkwardly put the device away.(很有可能他们会道歉,然后尴尬地把设备收起来。) 符合此处语境,承接上文,是问了问题之后可能出现的结果。故选F项。

12-year-old Dylan lived with his grandmother. His parents were successful lawyers in the city. This made their daily routine very busy. But Dylan’s grandmother Erica came to their rescue and offered to take care of him.
Dylan loved living with his grandmother. Every morning, his grandmother would make him a healthy breakfast. After a bath, they would go for a walk in the neighborhood. She would hum (哼) a tune, and Dylan would join her singing. After a musical morning, Dylan would be accompanied to wait for the school bus. Every night the grandmother would sing for Dylan until he fell asleep.
It was naturally that Dylan was musically gifted. He wanted to perform at his school’s annual party this year. But his parents wanted him to focus on his studies. They wished that Dylan became a successful lawyer, too. He was slightly disheartened at how his parents dismissed his love for music.
However, having finished the school assignments, he also stuck to playing with his favourite music. He always shared a beat he created with his grandmother.
“Dylan, I’m amazed at how passionately you make music. And the best thing is that you put your individuality into your music. If you really love music, keep on it. Don’t let anyone stop you.” Hearing what his grandmother said, Dylan was greatly inspired.
From that day on, Dylan’s passion for music burned brighter than ever before. He spent countless hours honing (训练) his skills, experimenting with different sounds, and exploring various genres. With his grandmother’s unwavering support and encouragement, Dylan felt like he could conquer the world with music.
One evening, as Dylan sat in his room, playing his guitar, he came up with a melody (旋律) that conveyed his deepest emotions. It was a beautiful composition that intertwined happiness, sadness, and determination. Dylan knew that this was the perfect piece for him to perform at the school’s annual party.

【答案】
With newfound confidence, Dylan approached his parents and shared his desire. He once again explained his love for music and conveyed his wish to showcase his musical talent at the school event. To convince them of his determination, Dylan even played the new music he created to them. To his surprise, his parents listened intently and exchanged a glance before speaking. “Dylan, we’ve realized that music means a lot to you. Your passion and dedication are evident. We want you to be happy and pursue your dreams.” Dylan’s heart was filled with joy as he heard his parents’ words of acceptance.
The day of the performance arrived. As Dylan stepped onto the stage, he glanced at his parents and his grandmother, who were beaming with pride. He knew that this was his moment to shine. With each play of his guitar and every word that flowed from his mouth, Dylan poured his heart into his performance. The audience was captivated by his soulful voice and the emotions he conveyed through music. Applause filled the air as he finished his performance. Tears welled up in Dylan’s eyes as he took a bow, feeling an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. He had not only proven himself to his parents but also to himself.

Trade Routes That Shaped World History
Trade routes linking places of production to places of commerce have popped up throughout ancient history. These roads also facilitated cultural exchanges. Here are several that changed the world.
The Silk Road
The Silk Road is the most famous ancient trade route, linking the major ancient civilizations of China and the Roman Empire. Silk was traded from China to the Roman Empire beginning in the 1st century BCE in exchange for wool, silver, and gold coming from Europe. In addition to fostering trade, the Silk Road also became a vital route for the spread of knowledge, technology, religion, and art.
The Spice Routes
Unlike most of the other trade routes, the Spice Routes were oceanic paths linking the East to the West. Pepper, cloves and cinnamon were all hugely sought-after goods in Europe. From the 15th century to the 17th century, navigation technology made sailing long distances from Europe possible. Europeans took to the seas to create direct trading relationships with Indonesia, China, and Japan. Spice trade fueled the development of faster ships.
The Amber (琥珀) Routes
Amber has been traded since about 3000 BCE, with amber beads from the Baltic Sea region having reached as far as Egypt. The Romans, who valued the amber for both decorative and medicinal purposes, developed the Amber Routes linking the Baltic states with the rest of Europe. Today, you can find traces of the old Amber Road in Poland, where one of the major routes is known as the Amber Highway.
The Tea Horse Road
This ancient route winds for more than 6,000 miles, through the Hengduan Mountains—a major tea-producing area in China — and on to Xizang and India. The main goods traveling the route were Chinese tea and Xizang’s warhorses. Parts of the route were used starting about 1600 BCE, but people began using the entire path from around the 7th century, and large-scale trade began taking place starting in the Song Dynasty.
21. When did the most known trade route start?
A. In about 3000 BCE. B. In about 1600 BCE.
C. In the 15th century. D. In the 1st century BCE.
22. What is special about the Spice Routes?
A. They were sea trade roads. B. They linked the East and West.
C. Their remains can be found today. D. They were the longest trade roads.
23. What do the ancient trade routes show?
A. They began from BCE.
B. They linked different continents.
C. They contributed a lot to the world’s trade and culture.
D. Goods traded through them came from ancient China.

Do you love fossils and dinosaurs? I’m lucky enough to be a fossil preparator (化石制备师), which means I work with fossils, like removing rocks from fossils and gluing fossils together to make sure they’re not broken. Sometimes, we have dinosaur bones that need to be arranged and put back into place.
I like the job from the bottom of my heart. When we make “jackets” — these are things that store the fossils — we have to accurately and scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils, which can be different shapes and artistic expression.
Since I was a kid, it’s been my dream to be a paleontologist (古生物学者). When I was 12, I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day. I got a chance to meet paleontologists. At the end, I asked, “Hey, can I volunteer?” And somehow, they let me, as long as a parent came with me. At 12 years old, I got to go to a fossil excavation (挖掘), and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.
Fossils are very old. We don’t always get all the pieces. We’re working with something that’s incomplete, sometimes. We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together. And as for the pieces we don’t know, we don’t try to make anything up. But sometimes, we have a gap in a specimen (标本) and it needs support. We’ll put some material in there that’s clearly not fossil, so when people go to study it, they know not to study that part.
People would wonder how I find other kids, especially girls, who shared my interests when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, in my friend group, I was the only dinosaur girl. My friends were interested in other things, but they were all super supportive of my love for fossils.
24. Why does the author like her job?
A. It is not a demanding job. B. It combines both art and science.
C. It is more artistic than scientific. D. It is about collecting dinosaur bones.
25. Why does the author mention her visit to her local museum?
A. To show her path to follow her dream. B. To prove her parents supporting her job.
C. To present the barrier of achieving her dream. D. To tell her easy access to achieving her dream.
26. How does the author deal with the incomplete fossils?
A. By burying them back in the ground. B. By breaking and reconstructing them.
C. By making them up with similar materials. D. By filling their gaps with distinct materials.
27. What kind of girl was the author when she was growing up?
A. Cautious. B. Understanding. C. Independent. D. Entertaining.
C
Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in the American state of Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks with a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend passed away. And in New York State, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent.
The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by a US tech company. The company and other officials say it is a device using artificial intelligence (AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.
The device looks like a small table light and it has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user’s interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. On a video screen that comes with it, it will show different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health, and reminds users to take medicines and drink water. It can also support video calls and contact family, friends, or doctors in an emergency.
The company says none of the conversations are heard by them, with the information staying on each owner’s device. The average user interacts with ElliQ more than 30 times a day and more than 90 percent report lower levels of loneliness. They can be bought individually for a sum of money a year plus another sum of money to set it up. The company would not say how many ElliQs have been sent out so far, but the goal is to have more than 100,000 out within five years.
Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad studies the effects of loneliness on health. She told The Associated Press that the difficult feeling of loneliness should push people to seek social interaction. Julianne noted that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects yet it could make people less likely to seek human contact.
28. What is the main purpose of the company in launching ElliQ?
A. To improve the senior’s life quality. B. To offer medical care to the elderly.
C. To ensure harmony in the community. D. To make the aged exposed to AI devices
29 What can we learn about the device from paragraph 3?
A. It resembles humans in appearance. B. It offers medical advice to the user.
C. It acts as a reminder in daily routine. D. It provides access to tourist attractions.
30. What does Julianne think of ElliQ?
A. It can be a substitute for human contact.
B. It turns out an economic and practical device.
C. It may keep the elderly from connecting socially.
D. It has lowered the level of older people’s loneliness.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Seniors In The US Are Struggling With Loneliness.
B. Robot ElliQ Is Helping Seniors Fight With Loneliness.
C. Robot ElliQ Has Taken Charge Of Elderly Women’s Life.
D AI Leaves More Seniors Losing Touch With Their Friends.
D
Do you sometimes worry so much that it disturbs your everyday activities? Or do you feel so blue that it completely clouds your outlook? Do you often experience these or similar feelings together? You’re not the only one. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), the anxiety disorder is the top-ranked mental health problem among US adults, affecting 27.3 percent of the population each year. More similarly, the mood disorder or depression is the leading trigger of many mental issues.
Although clearly not identical emotional states and symptoms (症状), mental health research suggests that anxiety and depression often coexist. The incidence of developing depression in addition to an anxiety disorder or vice versa is high. The core of the double disorder is “a cycle”, says Sally R. Connolly, a clinical therapist (治疗专家) from Louisville, Kentucky. “When you get anxious, you tend to have this pervasive thinking about some worry or some problem and you feel bad about it. Then you feel like you’ve failed, and you move to depression.” Similarly, she adds, “People who are depressed often feel anxious and worried, so one can trigger the other.”
“They can be caused by various factors. Genetic factors contribute to 40 percent of the predisposition to depressive and anxious symptoms, with 60 percent being attributed to environmental, also referred to as social factors,” explains Connolly. Environmental factors include experiences like trauma or neglect in early childhood, and current stressors such as relationship difficulties, unemployment, social isolation, and physical illness. Chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), low back pain, are closely linked to psychological distress as well, notes Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
No one has to suffer from anxiety disorder or depression, and certainly not both. People with such disorders should speak with a psychiatrist, a therapist, or other healthcare professionals about their symptoms as soon as possible. “It’s really crucial for people with both anxiety and depression to have a good assessment to rule out the bipolar (双相型障碍的) disorder,” she says. Effective treatment strategies have been available.
32. What does the underlined word “trigger” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Support. B. Target. C. Cause. D. Function.
33. What does paragraph 2 stress about anxiety and depression?
A. Their possible links. B. Their origins.
C. Their main symptoms. D. Their similarities.
34. How many causes of anxiety and depression are mentioned in the text?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
35. What will the text most probably talk about next?
A. More contributing factors. B. Harmful effects.
C. Some famous professionals. D. Specific therapies.

What should we respond to a question from a rude person? And how about those other challenging personalities we have to talk to, whether we want to or not? ____36____
The Complainer

Socially, few things are more annoying than someone repeatedly checking their phone in the middle of your conversation with them.

12-year-old Dylan lived with his grandmother. His parents were successful lawyers in the city. This made their daily routine very busy. But Dylan’s grandmother Erica came to their rescue and offered to take care of him.
Dylan loved living with his grandmother. Every morning, his grandmother would make him a healthy breakfast. After a bath, they would go for a walk in the neighborhood. She would hum (哼) a tune, and Dylan would join her singing. After a musical morning, Dylan would be accompanied to wait for the school bus. Every night the grandmother would sing for Dylan until he fell asleep.
It was naturally that Dylan was musically gifted. He wanted to perform at his school’s annual party this year. But his parents wanted him to focus on his studies. They wished that Dylan became a successful lawyer, too. He was slightly disheartened at how his parents dismissed his love for music.
However, having finished the school assignments, he also stuck to playing with his favourite music. He always shared a beat he created with his grandmother.
“Dylan, I’m amazed at how passionately you make music. And the best thing is that you put your individuality into your music. If you really love music, keep on it. Don’t let anyone stop you.” Hearing what his grandmother said, Dylan was greatly inspired.
From that day on, Dylan’s passion for music burned brighter than ever before. He spent countless hours honing (训练) his skills, experimenting with different sounds, and exploring various genres. With his grandmother’s unwavering support and encouragement, Dylan felt like he could conquer the world with music.
One evening, as Dylan sat in his room, playing his guitar, he came up with a melody (旋律) that conveyed his deepest emotions. It was a beautiful composition that intertwined happiness, sadness, and determination. Dylan knew that this was the perfect piece for him to perform at the school’s annual party.

Together with my friends, I decided IT should be a kind gesture to surprise the owners with a car wash. Every once in a while, someone would come by and ask us seemingly stupid men who told you to wash the cars, or even Better, who paid you to wash their cars. We explained we just wanted to do something kind. But our response was often met within even more confused look. As the afternoon went on, some other friends that came by understood our goal of the voluntary event and started helping out with some of the duties. I wasn't cleaning cars for money. I was cleaning cars simply because I wanted to offer the car owner's kindness. I now realized, first hand, that there is a special energy created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in service of others.
