Dear Tandon alumni, The Department of Technology Management and Innovation (TMI) is seeking alumni to mentor college students in the M. S. Management of Technology (MOT) Capstone Project during Summer 2025. This project is designed for college graduates and professionals who aim to make a difference in a world where economic and social progress is increasingly dependent on integrating technology and business. TMI has grown significantly within NYU Tandon School of Engineering and sees many opportunities to connect students with alumni. In the MOT Capstone project, experiential learning allows students to take their skills from the classroom to the boardroom by helping partners to employ advances in technology and entrepreneurship. Mentors play a crucial role in this transformative process. Mentors are expected to commit to at least three one-hour meetings — at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester. Project Mentorship means regularly communicating with Capstone students to provide expertise and guidance tailored to the real-time problems and challenges while working on their projects. Mentors also help Capstone students to improve their project scope, or connect them with industry resources. Based on the mentors’ expertise, they will be paired with the students to ensure a mutually beneficial experience. Additionally, the department also seeks alumni interested in Guest Speaking. If you are interested in participating or learning more, please fill out the TMI Request Form with your most up-to-date information. The TMI team will be in touch. You are expected to complete the form as soon as possible and then send it to TMI Department. Info@email.go.alumni.nyu.edu. by Friday, April 18th. The TMI team are looking forward to your involvement! Best regards, TMI Department 21. What’s the main purpose of this email? A. To introduce management skills to students. B.

How can NYU alumni apply for the project? A. By posting a letter. B. By e-mailing the form. C. By attending an interview. D. By telephoning the staff. B Olivia and I became instant friends in a writing class many years ago. I made a joke about a poorly crafted story. While others just stared blankly, Olivia laughed. That moment marked the beginning of our bond. It’s an example of how friendship often forms unexpectedly. Recent research reveals that the development of closeness is actually more complex. Sociologists and psychologists have identified delicate but profound factors that draw people together, and even determine what defines a “best friend.” These interactions are extremely small but important; they are the “dark matter” of friendship. Closeness and routine encounters lay the foundation for friendship. A classic study has shown that people often befriend those who they regularly interact with—neighbors, colleagues or classmates. However, physical closeness alone isn’t enough. Shared interests like hobbies or humor spark connections. In reality, true friendship blossoms when we go deeper and open up to each other. Self-disclosure marks the shift from casual acquaintance to true friendship. A simple “Can I talk to you for a minute?” might initiate a deeper connection. As Sociologist Beverley Fehr explains in her book Friendship Processes, transforming from acquaintanceship to friendship involves gradually sharing more personal information. It’s a reciprocal (互惠的) process: one person opens up, and the other responds in kind. Reciprocity is the most decisive in developing friendship. When I started my first job in a bookstore, I grew close to an assistant. Almost every day we shared lunch with each other and bonded while working for a difficult boss. However, when she moved to a new job, our relationship began to change. I started sharing more about my personal life, but she never did the same. Eventually, our lunches petered out to once a month, before she drifted out of my life for good. I was eager to tell her my problems, but she was unwilling to share hers. The necessary reciprocity was missing, so our acquaintanceship never tipped over into friendship. 24. Why is Olivia mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To show a keen interest in writing. B. To describe a mixed reaction to a joke. C. To initiate the topic of friendship formation. D. To illustrate the importance of humour sense. 25. What does “dark matter” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Conflict-free social factors. B. Simple yet close connections. C. Non-light-emitting materials. D. Minute but significant interactions. 26. What stopped the author developing friendship with the assistant? A. The author’s talkative personality. B. The company’s tight schedule. C. The assistant’s unresponsive behavior. D. The boss’s unpleasant character. 27. What contributes most to a true friendship? A. Regular meeting. B. Mutual openness. C. Common ground. D. Comfortable distance. C Nowadays, technologies such as hovering drones, robotic weeders, and precision fertilization could revolutionize agriculture by increasing food production while reducing environmental harm. However, there still exist some gaps in farming research. Researchers from PhenoRob at the University of Bonn have recently stated that the gaps should be filled. To achieve that, the researchers from PhenoRob stress the importance of joint efforts and interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teamwork worldwide. For example, field-scanning drones with high-resolution cameras can detect plant diseases and assess plant health and productivity. While the collected data is growing rapidly, to truly transform farming practices, it still needs to be integrated with global datasets on plant genetics, weather conditions, soil types and farming methods. Researchers also emphasize the importance of tracking the smart technologies used on farms globally. In this way, researches try to identify barriers to the adoption of technologies and approaches to encouraging their uptake. For example, some incentives such as financial assistance, tax breaks and land use discounts will help farmers overcome initial cost barriers, enabling investment in more efficient and sustainable farming practices to promote productivity and protect environment. Such incentives are crucial for boosting the use of smart technologies like automated irrigation systems or AI-driven crop monitoring. Some technologies have already proven effective in improving sustainability. For example, robotic weeders can remove weeds without harming surrounding crops, which reduces the need for chemical herbicides and helps keep the soil healthy. At PhenoRob, researchers are integrating data into monitoring nitrogen levels. This data is used to create models that determine the ideal nitrogen amounts for different conditions, decreasing waste and minimizing environmental harm. As agriculture contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, researchers believe these technologies will play a vital role in reducing some of the damage caused by traditional farming practices. 28. How will the gaps in farming be filled according to the researchers? A. By gathering region-specific datasets. B. By raising ecological plant productivity. C. By applying cutting-edge camera systems. D. By promoting global interdisciplinary cooperation. 29. What does the author think of the drone-collected agricultural data? A. Insufficient. B. Detailed. C. Irrelevant. D. Comprehensive. 30. What does the underlined word “incentives” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tax discounts. B. Traditional solutions. C. Investment profits. D. Motivational rewards. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Robotic Application: Novel and Effective B. Worldwide Teamwork: Efficient and Diverse C. Smart Farming: Integration and Sustainability D. Modern Technology: Change and Convenience D The famous marshmallow test, where children are asked to choose one marshmallow now or two later, may reveal more than willpower. Recent research suggests the ability to delay gratification (满足) could help protect against cognitive (认知) decline. This skill strengthens the brain’s prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for planning and reasoning. Just as regular physical exercise helps maintain muscle strength, regularly practising delayed gratification may help maintain cognitive functions throughout life. Over time, it will definitely build up mental resilience. Resisting immediate rewards stimulates “cool” controlling strategies in the prefrontal cortex, while giving in to temptation involves emotional decision-making areas. Regular practice of these “cool” strategies contributes to cognitive reserve, which highlights the importance of mental stimulation. This regular practice will potentially delay cognitive decline. It’s not just about willpower, but the ability to plan for the future, which is essential to make healthier lifestyle choices that benefit brain health. These skills can be developed at any age. While early childhood lays the foundation for delayed gratification, adults can strengthen self-control through consistent practice. Strategies like setting specific goals enhance these abilities. Studies show those who regularly practice self-control tend to maintain better cognitive functions as they age, demonstrating stronger problem-solving skills. Physical activity matters in this relationship. Research shows that higher physical activity is linked to better cognitive function, especially in older adults. Delaying gratification helps maintain regular exercise habits, creating a positive feedback circle that supports brain health. The more we practice delayed gratification, the more we strengthen our brain’s ability of self-control and protect against future cognitive decline. To develop these skills, start with small delays and gradually increase the waiting period. Set achievable goals and practice mindfulness to manage emotional urges. It’s never too late to start building cognitive resilience, and the small choices we make today can have a lasting impact on our mental health in the long term. 32. How does the author illustrate delayed gratification in paragraph 1? A. By defining concepts. B By giving descriptions. C. By making comparisons. D. By conducting surveys. 33. What’s the function of practicing “cool” controlling strategies regularly? A. Enhancing cognitive reserve. B. Arousing emotional awareness. C. Developing temptation resistance. D. Boosting willpower performance. 34. How can adults improve their problem-solving skills? A. By building physical fitness gradually. B. By exercising self-control consistently. C. By making feedback circles immediately. D. By establishing major objectives successfully. 35. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Delayed gratification benefits brain health. B. Physical activity increases muscle strength. C. Waiting period influences cognitive function. D. Positive mindfulness manages emotional drive. 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。 Emotion regulation is described as the ability to change our emotions by changing thoughts or behaviors. Emotion regulation skills are crucial for recovering from stress and maintaining mental well-being. Without these skills, we may rely on unhealthy emotion regulation strategies like alcohol or overeating, which may offer short-term relief but worse things in the long run. ____36____ Emotions are a natural part of the human experience.

Studies show that shifting attention to positive aspects can reduce anxiety and improve emotional states. ____39____ Gratitude is a positive emotion that involves being thankful and appreciative. It is associated with several mental and physical health benefits. When we experience gratitude, we will feel grateful for something or someone in life and respond with positive feelings of kindness, warmth, and other forms of well-being. Gratitude has been shown to increase our positive emotions and improve the quality of our personal relationships. In reality, we can practice gratitude with gratitude lists, gratitude notes, and gratitude letters. ____40____ A Positive emotions can be cultivated by training. B. Emotion acceptance is important in emotion regulation. C. These practices can finally improve our overall well-being. D. So let’s develop these skills by concentrating on the positive. E.

After his retirement, he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 台州市2025届高三第二次教学质量评估试题 英语 2025.04 全卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 考生注意： 1. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 第一节 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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man’s daughter enjoy doing?

B 【解析】 【原文】W: Of all the new books released on our list, Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao might be the most charming. The story is easy to understand. A Tokyo woman inherits a magical pawnshop where customers can sell their deepest regrets. One day, a young physicist steps through the shop door and meets the woman. Then the two set off on a mission to find the woman’s missing father. If you’re looking for something mysterious to read, check out The Garden by Nick Newman. It tells the story of two elderly sisters, Evelyn and Lily, who live in an old house surrounded by a walled garden. They have never known another human until one day a boy suddenly appears. Something has quietly changed. Part fantasy and part horror, this book is perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle, which is also a mystery novel. Finally, I’d like to recommend We All Live Here, written by Jojo Moyes. The story follows the main character, Lil a Kennedy, a middle-aged mom, who is down on her luck. Her mother just died. And her father, who has been out of touch with her for years, shows up and wants to move in with her. Messy, funny and heartwarming, this new book is perfect for fans of women’s fiction in general. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 Call for Summer 2025 Alumni Mentors (校友导师)!

I made a joke about a poorly crafted story. While others just stared blankly, Olivia laughed. That moment marked the beginning of our bond. It’s an example of how friendship often forms unexpectedly. Recent research reveals that the development of closeness is actually more complex. Sociologists and psychologists have identified delicate but profound factors that draw people together, and even determine what defines a “best friend.” These interactions are extremely small but important; they are the “dark matter” of friendship. Closeness and routine encounters lay the foundation for friendship. A classic study has shown that people often befriend those who they regularly interact with—neighbors, colleagues or classmates. However, physical closeness alone isn’t enough. Shared interests like hobbies or humor spark connections. In reality, true friendship blossoms when we go deeper and open up to each other. Self-disclosure marks the shift from casual acquaintance to true friendship. A simple “Can I talk to you for a minute?” might initiate a deeper connection. As Sociologist Beverley Fehr explains in her book Friendship Processes, transforming from acquaintanceship to friendship involves gradually sharing more personal information. It’s a reciprocal (互惠的) process: one person opens up, and the other responds in kind. Reciprocity is the most decisive in developing friendship. When I started my first job in a bookstore, I grew close to an assistant. Almost every day we shared lunch with each other and bonded while working for a difficult boss. However, when she moved to a new job, our relationship began to change. I started sharing more about my personal life, but she never did the same. Eventually, our lunches petered out to once a month, before she drifted out of my life for good. I was eager to tell her my problems, but she was unwilling to share hers. The necessary reciprocity was missing, so our acquaintanceship never tipped over into friendship. 24. Why is Olivia mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To show a keen interest in writing. B. To describe a mixed reaction to a joke. C. To initiate the topic of friendship formation. D. To illustrate the importance of humour sense. 25. What does “dark matter” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Conflict-free social factors. B. Simple yet close connections. C. Non-light-emitting materials. D. Minute but significant interactions. 26. What stopped the author developing friendship with the assistant? A. The author’s talkative personality. B. The company’s tight schedule. C. The assistant’s unresponsive behavior. D. The boss’s unpleasant character. 27. What contributes most to a true friendship? A. Regular meeting. B. Mutual openness. C. Common ground. D. Comfortable distance. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨友谊形成的复杂因素，包括偶然相遇、共同兴趣、自我表露和互惠行为等，并通过个人经历和理论研究说明真正友谊的关键条件。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“That moment marked the beginning of our bond. It’s an example of how friendship often forms unexpectedly.(那一刻标志着我们友谊的开始，它是友谊如何意外形成的例证)”等内容可推知，提到Olivia是为了引出友谊形成的主题。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“These interactions are extremely small but important; they are the ‘dark matter’ of friendship.(这些互动极其微小但重要，它们是友谊的“dark matter”)”可推知“dark matter”指的上文提到的这些微小但是很重要的互动。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“I started sharing more about my personal life, but she never did the same. Eventually, our lunches petered out to once a month, before she drifted out of my life for good. I was eager to tell her my problems, but she was unwilling to share hers. The necessary reciprocity was missing, so our acquaintanceship never tipped over into friendship.(我开始更多地分享我个人生活，但她却从未这样做。最终，我们的午餐聚会逐渐减少到每月一次，直到她彻底从我的生活中消失。我渴望向她倾诉我的烦恼，但她却不愿分享她的心事。由于缺乏必要的互惠，我们的关系始终未能发展为真正的友谊。)”可知，助理的不回应行为阻碍了友谊发展。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Self-disclosure marks the shift from casual acquaintance to true friendship. A simple “Can I talk to you for a minute?” might initiate a deeper connection. As Sociologist Beverley Fehr explains in her book Friendship Processes, transforming from acquaintanceship to friendship involves gradually sharing more personal information. It’s a reciprocal (互惠的) process: one person opens up, and the other responds in kind.(自我表露标志着从泛泛之交到真正友谊的转变。一句简单的“能和你聊一分钟吗？”就可能开启更深层的连接。正如社会学家贝弗莉·费尔在《友谊的形成》一书中所述，从相识到友谊的转化需要逐步分享更私人的信息。这是一个互惠的过程：一方敞开心扉，另一方也会以同样方式回应。)”和第五段中“Reciprocity is the most decisive in developing friendship(互惠是发展友谊最决定性的因素)”可推知，相互敞开心扉对友谊最关键。故选B。 C Nowadays, technologies such as hovering drones, robotic weeders, and precision fertilization could revolutionize agriculture by increasing food production while reducing environmental harm. However, there still exist some gaps in farming research. Researchers from PhenoRob at the University of Bonn have recently stated that the gaps should be filled. To achieve that, the researchers from PhenoRob stress the importance of joint efforts and interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teamwork worldwide. For example, field-scanning drones with high-resolution cameras can detect plant diseases and assess plant health and productivity. While the collected data is growing rapidly, to truly transform farming practices, it still needs to be integrated with global datasets on plant genetics, weather conditions, soil types and farming methods. Researchers also emphasize the importance of tracking the smart technologies used on farms globally. In this way, researches try to identify barriers to the adoption of technologies and approaches to encouraging their uptake. For example, some incentives such as financial assistance, tax breaks and land use discounts will help farmers overcome initial cost barriers, enabling investment in more efficient and sustainable farming practices to promote productivity and protect environment. Such incentives are crucial for boosting the use of smart technologies like automated irrigation systems or AI-driven crop monitoring. Some technologies have already proven effective in improving sustainability. For example, robotic weeders can remove weeds without harming surrounding crops, which reduces the need for chemical herbicides and helps keep the soil healthy. At PhenoRob, researchers are integrating data into monitoring nitrogen levels. This data is used to create models that determine the ideal nitrogen amounts for different conditions, decreasing waste and minimizing environmental harm. As agriculture contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, researchers believe these technologies will play a vital role in reducing some of the damage caused by traditional farming practices. 28. How will the gaps in farming be filled according to the researchers? A. By gathering region-specific datasets. B. By raising ecological plant productivity. C. By applying cutting-edge camera systems. D. By promoting global interdisciplinary cooperation. 29. What does the author think of the drone-collected agricultural data? A. Insufficient. B. Detailed. C. Irrelevant. D. Comprehensive. 30. What does the underlined word “incentives” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tax discounts. B. Traditional solutions. C. Investment profits. D. Motivational rewards. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Robotic Application: Novel and Effective B. Worldwide Teamwork: Efficient and Diverse C. Smart Farming: Integration and Sustainability D. Modern Technology: Change and Convenience 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智能农业应该全球跨学科合作，研究人员还强调了追踪全球农场使用的智能技术的重要性，同时一些技术已经证明在提高可持续性方面是有效的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from PhenoRob at the University of Bonn have recently stated that the gaps should be filled.(波恩大学PhenoRob的研究人员最近表示，应该填补这些空白。)”和第二段“To achieve that, the researchers from PhenoRob stress the importance of joint efforts and interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teamwork worldwide.(为了实现这一目标，来自PhenoRob的研究人员强调了全球范围内共同努力和跨学科团队合作的重要性)”可知，通过促进全球跨学科合作填补农业方面的空白。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, field-scanning drones with high-resolution cameras can detect plant diseases and assess plant health and productivity. While the collected data is growing rapidly, to truly transform farming practices, it still needs to be integrated with global datasets on plant genetics, weather conditions, soil types and farming methods.(例如，带有高分辨率摄像头的现场扫描无人机可以检测植物病害并评估植物健康和生产力。虽然收集的数据增长迅速，但要真正改变农业实践，仍需要将其与全球植物遗传学、天气条件、土壤类型和耕作方法等数据集整合起来)”可知，作者认为无人机采集的农业数据不充分。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In this way, researches try to identify barriers to the adoption of technologies and approaches to encouraging their uptake.(通过这种方式，研究人员试图确定采用技术的障碍和鼓励采用技术的方法)”以及后文“financial assistance, tax breaks and land use discounts(财政援助、税收减免和土地使用折扣)”可知，后文列举的财政援助、税收减免和土地使用折扣是一些针对鼓励性的奖励措施。故划线词意思是“激励性的奖励”。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To achieve that, the researchers from PhenoRob stress the importance of joint efforts and interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teamwork worldwide.(为了实现这一目标，来自PhenoRob的研究人员强调了全球范围内共同努力和跨学科团队合作的重要性)”结合文章主要介绍了智能农业应该全球跨学科合作，研究人员还强调了追踪全球农场使用的智能技术的重要性，同时一些技术已经证明在提高可持续性方面是有效的。可知，C选项“智能农业：一体化和可持续性”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D The famous marshmallow test, where children are asked to choose one marshmallow now or two later, may reveal more than willpower. Recent research suggests the ability to delay gratification (满足) could help protect against cognitive (认知) decline. This skill strengthens the brain’s prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for planning and reasoning. Just as regular physical exercise helps maintain muscle strength, regularly practising delayed gratification may help maintain cognitive functions throughout life. Over time, it will definitely build up mental resilience. Resisting immediate rewards stimulates “cool” controlling strategies in the prefrontal cortex, while giving in to temptation involves emotional decision-making areas. Regular practice of these “cool” strategies contributes to cognitive reserve, which highlights the importance of mental stimulation. This regular practice will potentially delay cognitive decline. It’s not just about willpower, but the ability to plan for the future, which is essential to make healthier lifestyle choices that benefit brain health. These skills can be developed at any age. While early childhood lays the foundation for delayed gratification, adults can strengthen self-control through consistent practice. Strategies like setting specific goals enhance these abilities. Studies show those who regularly practice self-control tend to maintain better cognitive functions as they age, demonstrating stronger problem-solving skills. Physical activity matters in this relationship. Research shows that higher physical activity is linked to better cognitive function, especially in older adults. Delaying gratification helps maintain regular exercise habits, creating a positive feedback circle that supports brain health. The more we practice delayed gratification, the more we strengthen our brain’s ability of self-control and protect against future cognitive decline. To develop these skills, start with small delays and gradually increase the waiting period. Set achievable goals and practice mindfulness to manage emotional urges. It’s never too late to start building cognitive resilience, and the small choices we make today can have a lasting impact on our mental health in the long term. 32. How does the author illustrate delayed gratification in paragraph 1? A. By defining concepts. B. By giving descriptions. C. By making comparisons. D. By conducting surveys. 33. What’s the function of practicing “cool” controlling strategies regularly? A. Enhancing cognitive reserve. B. Arousing emotional awareness. C. Developing temptation resistance. D. Boosting willpower performance. 34. How can adults improve their problem-solving skills? A. By building physical fitness gradually. B By exercising self-control consistently. C. By making feedback circles immediately. D. By establishing major objectives successfully. 35. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Delayed gratification benefits brain health. B. Physical activity increases muscle strength. C. Waiting period influences cognitive function. D. Positive mindfulness manages emotional drive. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了延迟满足能力对大脑健康有益。同时文章给出了培养延迟满足技能的建议。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent research suggests the ability to delay gratification (满足) could help protect against cognitive (认知) decline. (最近的研究表明，延迟满足的能力可能有助于防止认知衰退。)”以及后文“Just as regular physical exercise helps maintain muscle strength, regularly practising delayed gratification may help maintain cognitive functions throughout life.(就像定期的体育锻炼有助于保持肌肉力量一样，定期练习延迟满足可能有助于维持一生的认知功能。)”可知，作者通过将定期练习延迟满足与定期体育锻炼进行类比，说明了延迟满足的作用因此第一段是通过作比较的方式来说明延迟满足。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Regular practice of these ‘cool’ strategies contributes to cognitive reserve, which highlights the importance of mental stimulation. (定期练习这些“冷静”策略有助于认知储备，这凸显了精神刺激的重要性。)”可知，定期练习“冷静”控制策略的功能是增强认知储备。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“While early childhood lays the foundation for delayed gratification, adults can strengthen self-control through consistent practice.(虽然儿童早期为延迟满足奠定了基础，但成年人可以通过持续练习来加强自控力。)”以及“Studies show those who regularly practice self-control tend to maintain better cognitive functions as they age, demonstrating stronger problem-solving skills. (研究表明，那些经常练习自控力的人在年老时往往能保持更好的认知功能，表现出更强的解决问题的能力。)”可知，成年人可以通过持续练习自控力来提高他们解决问题的能力。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Recent research suggests the ability to delay gratification (满足) could help protect against cognitive (认知) decline. (最近的研究表明，延迟满足的能力可能有助于防止认知衰退。)”及后文内容可知，文章主要说明了延迟满足的能力对大脑健康有益，不仅有助于维持认知功能，还能增强大脑的自控能力，保护大脑免受未来认知衰退的影响。A选项“Delayed gratification benefits brain health.(延迟满足有益于大脑健康。)”概括文章主要内容。故选A项。 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。 Emotion regulation is described as the ability to change our emotions by changing thoughts or behaviors. Emotion regulation skills are crucial for recovering from stress and maintaining mental well-being. Without these skills, we may rely on unhealthy emotion regulation strategies like alcohol or overeating, which may offer short-term relief but worse things in the long run. ____36____ Emotions are a natural part of the human experience. And allowing emotions to exist as they are helps us to understand our emotions and take steps to manage them well. ____37____ In our life, it is the process of accepting and embracing our emotions without trying to change them. It involves fully experiencing our feelings, whether they are positive or negative. ____38____ The process of training often involves engaging in various activities, which are beneficial to activate brain regions associated with positive ideas. For example, focusing on positive words or memories can activate brain regions linked to well-being, strengthening emotion regulation processes. Similarly, one way to regulate our emotions is to redirect our attention towards the positive. Studies show that shifting attention to positive aspects can reduce anxiety and improve emotional states. ____39____ Gratitude is a positive emotion that involves being thankful and appreciative. It is associated with several mental and physical health benefits. When we experience gratitude, we will feel grateful for something or someone in life and respond with positive feelings of kindness, warmth, and other forms of well-being. Gratitude has been shown to increase our positive emotions and improve the quality of our personal relationships. In reality, we can practice gratitude with gratitude lists, gratitude notes, and gratitude letters. ____40____ A. Positive emotions can be cultivated by training. B. Emotion acceptance is important in emotion regulation. C. These practices can finally improve our overall well-being. D. So let’s develop these skills by concentrating on the positive. E. Building emotion regulation skills requires professional guidance. F. If equipped with these skills, we can manage emotions effectively. G.

As a Senior 3 student, I firmly believe that music classes should be offered to us because they’re not only beneficial but also essential, despite the demanding academic workload. Firstly, music classes provide a much-needed mental break. They help us to relax and recharge, which, in turn, promotes focus and productivity when we return to our academic assignments. Secondly, music classes foster our creativity and emotional well-being, balancing the logical focus of subjects like math. This balance contributes to our intellectual and emotional growth. In conclusion, music classes are not a distraction but a vital part of education. They benefit our mental health, contributing to an all-round development of education. Possible version 2 (120 words): Should Music Classes Be Offered to Senior 3 Students? As a Senior 3 student, I believe that while music classes are enjoyable, they’re not essential during this critical year. Our top priority should be academic success, as it directly affects our future. Firstly, Senior 3 is an extremely demanding year when every minute counts. Time should be spent on core subjects like science and language to maximize learning outcomes. Music classes take up our valuable time that could be better spent on revision or practice tests. Secondly, while music classes can help us relax, other effective stress-relief methods, like short breaks or physical exercise, provide similar benefits without compromising our study time. In conclusion, I think music classes shouldn’t be offered to us. Instead, we should prioritize academic excellence. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。校英文报Youth举办以“高三年级是否应该开设音乐课”为主题的征文比赛，要求考生写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 尽管：despite→in spite of 有益的：beneficial→advantageous 充电：recharge→refill 促进：promote→facilitate 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Firstly, music classes provide a much-needed mental break.  拓展句：Firstly, music classes provide a much-needed mental break, which is greatly helpful for our daily life. 【点睛】【高分句型1】 They help us to relax and recharge, which, in turn, promotes focus and productivity when we return to our academic assignments.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句以及when引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】They benefit our mental health, contributing to an all-round development of education.（运用了现在分词作状语的结构） 第二节(满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Harry Caine retired from a local power company. After his retirement, he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. They came from all walks of life—students, retirees and even some stay-at-home parents, each eager to lend a hand. They selflessly devoted their time, skills, and knowledge to tackling piles of the donated bikes. Together, they sorted the bikes by size and condition before the repairs. Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side. With volunteers’ support, Harry was determined to expand the project to more people. And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike. To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. Along with the volunteers, Harry carefully took into account individual preferences, such as bike styles, colors, and sizes, as well as ages, addresses and occupations. With the valuable information, every bike was perfectly tailored to meet the recipients’ needs. Once the bikes were fully repaired, they delivered each bike in person to the recipient’s home, ensuring it was an ideal fit. The recipients were overjoyed, expressing their heartfelt gratitude for the thoughtful gesture. This personalized approach not only warmed their hearts but also strengthened community bonds, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and connecting. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了退休老人Harry Caine退休后利用自己的技能免费为社区修理被遗弃的自行车，并将修好的自行车捐赠给有需要的人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“得知Harry的情况后，一群志愿者来帮助他。”可知，第一段可描写志愿者们的构成、他们是如何帮助Harry的，包括对自行车进行分类等工作，以及 Harry 在志愿者帮助下的想法和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“为了让每辆自行车都能匹配到新主人，Harry收集了他们的具体需求。”可知，第二段可描写Harry和志愿者们如何收集并考虑接收者的各种需求，根据需求修理和分配自行车，以及接收者收到自行车后的反应和这个个性化做法带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：Harry工作量大面临困难——志愿者来帮忙——志愿者和Harry分工合作——Harry决心扩大项目 ——收集接收者需求——按需求分配自行车——收获感激和加强社区联系 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮忙：lend a hand/offer help/assist ②处理：tackle/deal with/handle ③考虑：take sth. into account/consider sth./take sth. into consideration 情绪类 ①欢乐的：overjoyed/delighted/elated ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike.(运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
